Definitions

  • This invention relates to a heel construction for a high heel shoe.
  • this invention relates to a heel construction which allows the main part of a heel component to be removed from a shoe and replaced by another, for aesthetic or other reasons such as repair.
  • high heel shoe is intended to refer to any kind of elevated heel arrangement, usually worn by ladies. Though there is no universal definition of the term “high heel shoe” it is generally agreed that a heel height of less than 25mm (1 inch) is regarded as a low heel shoe, a heel height of between 25mm and 75mm (1 inch and 3 inch) is regarded as a mid (or medium) heel shoe and a heel height of greater than 75mm is regarded as a high heel shoe. However, the term “high heel shoe” as used herein is intended to refer to shoes having heel heights of more than 25mm - i.e. mid heel and high heel shoes.
  • a wearer of high heel shoes may want to change the appearance of a particularly favoured pair of shoes, to suit different social occasions, purposes or ease of wear. For example, for wear in the daytime, the user may prefer the shoe to have a more stable, thicker heel but for wear in the evening, the user may prefer the shoe to have the appearance of a stiletto high heel shoe. It would therefore be advantageous for the user to be able to substitute one heel design by another, to suit the occasion.
  • heel construction for a high heel shoe comprising a sole plate and a heel pin secured to and projecting from the sole plate, the heel pin having a screw-threaded region extending for at least part of the length of the heel pin, and a heel component having a required external configuration and an elongate hole in which the heel pin is received, the heel component having a transverse slot aligned with a part of the threaded region of the heel pin when located thereon, and a nut rotatably located in the slot and engaged with the threaded region of the heel pin, the nut being configured to permit the turning thereof for tightening the heel component on to the sole plate.
  • the heel component may be removed from a shoe using this heel construction by releasing the nut from the screw-threaded region of the heel pin by the rotation of the nut in the appropriate sense, whereafter the heel component may be slid off the heel pin.
  • a similarly configured, but differently profiled, heel component may then be fitted to the heel pin and tightened to the shoe by rotation of the nut in the opposite sense.
  • the axial thickness of the nut and the axial width of the slot are preferably such that the nut is a close rotational fit within the slot, to eliminate the likelihood of axial movement of the heel component and so of possible loosening of the nut, when the shoe is in use.
  • the nut may be of essentially circular form and has an outer periphery profiled to facilitate the turning thereof.
  • the nut may have a serrated, toothed or slotted outer periphery such that the nut may be turned with a finger or an appropriately-configured tool.
  • a segment of the nut may project out of the slot to facilitate the turning thereof, or the nut could be wholly disposed within the external periphery of the heel component, though in this case it would be necessary to use a tool to turn the nut.
  • means, such as one or more tabs, pegs or similar features may be provided to trap the nut in the slot.
  • the slot in the heel component opens through a forwardly- facing surface of the heel component - that is, the surface usually referred to as the heel breast.
  • the heel breast the surface usually referred to as the heel breast.
  • means may be provided to restrain rotation of the heel component about the axis of the heel pin.
  • such means may comprise inter-engaging formations on the sole plate and the heel component, such as a non-circular projection provided on one of the sole plate and heel component and a corresponding non-circular recess on the other of the sole plate and heel component.
  • a heel pin having a transverse groove formed therein part way between the ends of the heel pin, the heel component having a transverse slot aligned with the groove of the heel pin when located thereon, and a locking member provided in the slot and releasably engaged with the groove thereby to retain the heel component on the heel pin.
  • the threaded region of the heel pin and the nut are eliminated; instead, a locking member is provided in a slot in the heel component and which is engageable with a groove in the heel pin so as to retain the heel component on the pin.
  • the locking member is in the form of a plate slidingly received in the slot in the heel component.
  • Retention means may be provided to hold the locking member in the slot, when fully engaged with the groove in the heel pin.
  • one or more spring clips may be provided on the locking plate and co-acting with the heel component or the clips may be provided on the heel component, to co-act with the locking plate.
  • the slot in the heel component it is convenient for the slot in the heel component to open through a rearwardly-facing surface of the heel component.
  • an external face of the locking member will be more apparent and so it is preferred for the profile of the external face to match that of the heel component, in the vicinity of the slot.
  • a heel construction for a high heel shoe comprising a sole plate and a heel pin secured to and projecting from the sole plate, and a heel component having a required external configuration and an elongate hole in which the heel pin is received, there being a socket formed in one of the heel component and the heel pin, and a corresponding engagement member provided on the other of the heel component and the heel pin or on the sole plate, the engagement member being a releasable snap-fit into the socket when the heel component is fully located on the heel pin thereby to hold the heel component on the heel pin.

  • the boss may be of non-circular shape and be received in a recess formed in a face of the heel component confronting the sole plate; by having the boss of non- circular shape and a complementarily configured recess, inter-fitting of the boss in the recess restrains rotation of the heel component about the axis of the heel pin.
  • the snap-fitting of the heel component to the heel pin may be enhanced by providing the heel pin with an enlarged cross-section at a position spaced from the sole plate and the elongate hole in the heel component has a shoulder at a position to co-act in a snap-fitting manner with the enlarged cross-section on the side thereof nearer from the sole plate when the heel component is fully located on the heel pin, thereby to assist retention of the heel component on the heel pin.

  • the locking plate 29 is shown as projecting rearwardly from the rear part of the heel component 31 , the locking plate could be appropriately profiled so as to blend with the external profile of the heel component. In this way, risk of accidentally catching the locking plate for example on a step may be obviated and moreover the external surface of the locking plate could appear as a decorative feature for the heel component, for instance by appropriate colouring thereof.
  • FIGS 8 to 10 show a third embodiment wherein the heel component 40 is formed from two externally symmetrical parts 41 ,42 which connect together about a vertical plane containing the heel pin 43 and extending along the length of the shoe.
  • the heel pin 43 is of rectangular cross- sectional shape and is directly welded or otherwise secured to the shoe sole plate 10, without use of a mounting plate and boss as with the first two embodiments, though such a construction could be employed. If so, the upper ends of the two heel component parts 41 ,42 would have to be provided with appropriately configured recesses to accommodate the mounting plate and boss.
  • Each heel component part 41 ,42 defines a channel 44 of rectangular cross-sectional shape such that when the two parts are fitted together, there is formed an elongate hole for housing the heel pin 43.
  • the channels should be appropriately profiled such that the heel pin is a close fit to the walls of the channel in order to give a secure connection between the assembled-together heel components parts 41 ,42 and the heel pin 43.

  • the pegs of the opposed heel component parts are axially aligned when the two parts are assembled together such that the opposed pegs are received in the same bore.
  • the two heel component parts 41 ,42 are held together with the heel pin housed in the hole defined by the channels 44 by means of a tab 47 projecting from heel part 41 and received in a slot 48 formed in heel part 42.
  • the tab 47 has a barb 49 at its free end, which is received behind an internal face of heel part 42 and defining an edge of the slot 48, such that the two heel parts may be snap-fitted together.
  • the security of the snap-fitting may be such that a sufficient separating force applied to the two heel parts allows the separation of the two parts and thus the removal of those parts from the heel pin 43, to allow the replacement of those two heel parts by others perhaps of different configuration or different decoration.
  • the stability and alignment of the two heel parts are maintained by providing dowel pins 50 projecting from the four corner regions of heel part 42 and received in corresponding sockets in the other heel part 41 , when the two heel parts are assembled together around the heel pin 43.
  • the rectangular cross-section of the heel pin 43 and the rectangular channels 44 obviate the need to provide a separate configuration on the heel component and sole plate, to prevent relative rotation between the assembled heel component and the heel pin, and thus in turn the shoe itself.
  • the fourth embodiment is shown in Figures 1 1 to 13.
  • the arrangement of the sole plate, mounting plate, boss and heel pin is similar to that of the second embodiment ( Figures 5 to 7), except that no transverse groove is provided in the upper region of the heel pin.

  • a pair of spring catches 57 is provided within the recess 56 in opposition to one another, for engagement with the sockets 52, thereby to allow the heel component 55 to be snap-fitted to the mounting plate and be retained on the heel pin 53.
  • the elongate hole 58 is profiled to accommodate the region 59 of increased diameter at the upper end of the heel pin 53 and to be a close sliding fit on the main part of the heel pin, between the region 59 and the free end 60 thereof.
  • FIG. 14 to 16 there is shown an alternative arrangement for the heel pin of the fourth embodiment, described with reference to Figures 1 1 to 13.
  • a heel pin 62 of circular cross-sectional shape but provided with a head 63 of generally rectangular cross-section, immediately adjacent the sole plate 10 of the shoe.
