Definitions

  • the present invention pertains to footwear. More specifically the invention relates to a method for production of sandals with a fastening system of interchangeable straps in accordance with the preamble of patent claim 1.
  • the invention relates to a type of personal item designed to meet human needs.
  • footwear The primary use of footwear is to protect people's feet.
  • shoes are purchased based on criteria related to fashion trends and are used as a fashion accessory and as a complement to external image, more commonly known as "look".
  • footwear with interchangeable elements is not, due to its intrinsic characteristics, intended to facilitate the interchangeability of certain components to enable shoes to be differently configured while retaining an attractive aesthetic appearance which enables them to be used with different clothing styles, materials and colours.
  • shoes that change appearance by replacement of straps are provided. Interchangeability of the straps is made possible by a fastening mechanism consisting of spring connectors attached to the ends of each strap employed with the shoe where each spring connector includes at least one loop spring which engages a stud securely fixed to the lower part of the shoe.
  • US Patent No. 5992058 provides for a shoe system with interchangeable elements whose fastening device consists of snap fasteners, located on the perimeter of the shoe sole, to which several flexible straps can be attached, said straps having a pair of opposite ends detachable from the sole and the heel of the shoe is also interchangeable via a screw to which the desired heel must be connected.
  • US patent No. 2002194750 provides for a shoe with a removable upper whose fastening mechanism consists of receiving openings in recesses located on the base of the shoe and fasteners which are coupled with said openings, which are located on said removable uppers.
  • US patent No. 2003233772 provides for interchangeable shoe coverings in which the fastener may consist of hooks, straps, snaps or laces.
  • US patent No. 2007209238 provides for a vamp for use in shoes with interchangeable components, the vamp consisting of ends that include fasteners that interconnect with fasteners positioned on the edge of the shoe base.
  • US patent No. 2004064976 provides for an interchangeable shoe ensemble which includes a base member having snap fasteners along its periphery and positioned for connection to the corresponding snap fasteners on the interchangeable upper.
  • the present invention seeks to overcome these problems through a method for production of sandals with a fastening system of interchangeable straps that is different from existing methods and has specific features in terms of fasteners.
  • the present invention presents a method for production of sandals with a fastening system of interchangeable straps that is different from conventional methods because it includes the following steps: preparation of the base by creation of several apertures in its material; coating of said base with adhesive for attachment of the material composing the outer layer of the platform, to secure the sole and the insole; application of a fastener within said base, piercing the outer layer of the platform, by pressure on the support which is traversed by said fastener which is inserted inside the base and passes through multiple apertures and is fastened permanently; fastening of said fastener ensuring so that the support remains a reasonable distance from the platform.
  • the platform of the fastening system of interchangeable straps in sandals may be with or without a heel and may adopt several configurations and aesthetic decorations.
  • the fasteners applied inside the base are affixed to the extension of the periphery of the platform with a heel.
  • the interchangeable straps that are combinable with one another are replaced by disengaging and engaging the buttonholes on the supports.
  • the present invention allows the user to wear sandals in different contexts by changing the strap to suit the outfit and personal taste, while ensuring, at the same time, comfort in use through the possibility of selecting the base that best fits the size and shape of the foot and the strap whose size is suitable for providing stability and comfort.
  • the present invention enables the physical space occupied by the shoe to be reduced as it provides for numerous different sandal models using a single platform to which interchangeable straps are connected providing for the composition of several sandal models.
  • the present invention provides for a system in which particular components, namely the platform and straps, can be of sizes that can be combined with each other to enable the sandal to fit the foot of each individual user, in a way that traditional footwear cannot.
  • the present invention provides a method for production of sandals with a fastening system of interchangeable straps that comprising the following steps:
  • the present sandals with a fastening system of interchangeable straps has a platform that can be with a heel (9) or without a heel (14) in which the base (1) is formed of a resistant material that is sufficiently rigid to house fasteners inserted into its structure, preferably of polyurethane which is a polymer designated by the acronym PU.
  • the platform with a heel (9) and without a heel (14) is coated with various materials and can therefore adopt several configurations and aesthetic decorations.
  • the platform with a heel (9) can vary in terms of heel height and shape.
  • These supports (3a, 3b, 3c, 5a, 5b, 5c, 6, 7, 15) are traversed by a fastener (8) inserted into the base (1) by means of pressure on said supports, perforating the outer layer of the platform (9, 14) and passing through multiple apertures (2) and being fastened permanently in the base (1) preventing them coming loose from their position.
  • the number and position of the supports (3a, 3b, 3c, 5a, 5b, 5c, 6, 7, 15) in the base (1) may vary to allow different models of shoes to be configured by applying the same fastening system of interchangeable components.
  • the supports (3a, 3b, 3c, 5a, 5b, 5c, 6, 7, 15) are placed at strategic locations to ensure comfort of the foot provided by the stable, safe properly fitted engagement of each strap and the fasteners (8) ensure that said supports are affixed and prevent them coming loose from their location.
  • the aesthetic decorations of said supports may vary.
  • This fastening system includes interchangeable straps (4a, 4b, 4c, 12a, 12b, 16) that can be combined with each other.
  • These interchangeable straps (4a, 4b, 4c, 12a, 12b, 16) are composed of three distinct layers, namely: the outer layer consists of a section whose size, material of composition, colour or colours may vary based on the time of year and seasonal collection, the middle layer consisting of a resilient material that ensures the durability, shape and comfort of the strap and whose size, material of composition and colour or colours may vary, the inner layer consisting of an anti-allergic material which provides comfort to the user when wearing the sandals.
  • These interchangeable straps (4a, 4b, 4c, 12a, 12b, 16) have a finish consisting of special stitching that is strengthened around the buttonholes which engage the supports (3a, 3b, 3c, 5a, 5b, 5c, 6, 7, 15) and fasteners (10, 11, 18, 20) integrated in the straps (13, 17, 19) to prevent the interchangeable straps (4a, 4b, 4c, 12a, 12b, 16) being excessively damaging by and during movement of the wearer's foot.
  • the length of the interchangeable straps (4a, 4b, 4c, 12a, 12b, 16) is variable to enable them to be engaged on the supports (3a, 3b, 3c, 5a, 5b, 5c, 6, 7, 15).
  • This fastening system includes interchangeable straps, includes straps (13, 17, 19) that are permanently fixed to the platform with a heel (9) or without a heel (14) to which the interchangeable straps (4a, 4b, 4c, 12a, 12b, 16) are connected.
  • the configuration and aesthetic decoration of the straps (13, 17, 19) may vary.
  • interchangeable straps (4a, 4b, 4c) consist of three distinct layers, namely: an outer layer whose size, material and colour may vary, the middle layer whose material provides comfort and durability to the strap and whose size, composition and colour may vary and the inner layer consisting of an anti-allergic material that provides comfort to the user when using the sandals.
  • the interchangeable straps (4a, 4b, 4c) have a special stitching that is strengthened around the buttonholes which engage the supports (3a, 3b, 3c, 5a, 5b, 5c) to prevent them being excessively damaged by their use.
  • the interchangeable straps (4a, 4b, 4c) are changed by disengaging the supports (3a, 3b, 3c, 5a, 5b, 5c) from the buttonholes.
