SOLE FOR INTERCHANGEABLE CUT SHOE OR SANDAL
Abstract
A sole with folding iron fittings around it, formed by a sole of
any material, either natural or synthetic, between the layers of
which one or more straps, provided with one or more folding iron
fittings through which an interchangeable shoe cut passes, are
attached. This allows users to vary the color, shape, length, etc.
of the straps, and therefore design the piece of footwear according
to their needs.

Claims
1. A sole with folding iron fittings on the perimeter, comprising:
a sole body forming an upper section, a lower section, and two
sides; one or more straps transversely arranged in the mid part of
the sole body between the upper and the lower sections, which juts
out on the sides of the sole body, one or more folding iron
fittings attached to each end of the one or more straps and where
the width of the upper section of the sole body is bigger than the
height of links, so that the links do not reach the upper surface
of the sole, therefore avoiding contact with feet, and where the
straps are fixed between the lower and the upper section of the
sole body.
2. The sole according to claim 1, wherein the sole comprises
channels to pass the one or more straps that hold the folding iron
fittings, and where the upper section is formed by at least one
layer of upper sole and the lower sole, by at least on layer of
lower sole.
3. The sole according to claim 2, wherein the one or more straps
are sewed between the at least one layer of upper sole and the at
least one layer of lower sole.
4. The sole according to claim 2, wherein one or more straps are
glued between the at least one layer of upper sole and the at least
one layer of lower sole.
5. The sole, according to claim 1, wherein the links pass through
one or more interchangeable straps forming the upper cut of the
piece of footwear.
Description
BACKGROUND
[0001] This invention consists in the improvement of the Utility
Model registered in Mexico under no. PA/u/2006/000177 and in Spain
under no. U200602520, as well as under PCT international
application no. PCT/MX/2077/000084, which is a sole allowing to
interchange the cuts in a sandal or shoe, by means of a fixed
system using rigid straps provided with some iron fittings at the
end, either sewed or glued between at least two pieces of sole: one
in contact with the foot and the other in contact with the floor;
the folding iron fittings design allows that several cuts of the
piece of footwear pass.
[0002] The improvement represents a novel solution to the
limitations of the previously referred to Utility Model. This
improvement consists in a sole with individual holes or channels to
pass some straps around the perimeter of the sole, and which carry
some folding iron fittings where the interchangeable cuts are
passed through.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
[0003] FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the sole already assembled
with the construction system which allows interchanging the
cuts.
[0004] FIG. 2 is a view of the components of the sole.
[0005] FIG. 3 is a perspective view of the upper layer of the sole
(1) with channels to pass the folding iron fittings through.
[0006] FIG. 4 is a view under the upper layer of the sole with
channels (2).
[0007] FIG. 5 is a view of the straps (3) holding the folding iron
fittings (4), which allows putting in and out any interchangeable
cut.
[0008] FIGS. 6, 7, and 8 represent views of the different shapes of
the sole with different upper cuts assembled into the folding iron
fittings.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
[0009] This invention represents a novel solution to the
limitations of the previously mentioned Utility Model called "Sole
with surrounding links which allow users to design and transform
their sandals" for the case of interchanging the cuts of the
shoe.
[0010] The invention consists in a second version of the Utility
Model registered in Mexico under no. PA/u/2006/000177 and in Spain
under no. U200602520, as well as in the PCT international
application no. PCT/MX2077/000084.
[0011] This improvement consists of a sole with folding iron
fittings on its perimeter, which has a sole body with several
layers whose essential quality is to pass through an upper section
(1) and a lower section (5); one or more straps (3) are attached to
the sole body; the one or more straps being in the channels (2) and
which are made of a resistant and flexible material and hold at
their ends some folding iron fittings (4).
[0012] The length of the straps (3) barely exceeds the width of the
sole. Thus, the iron fittings (4) sewed thereto are attached to the
sole's edges, without being too big neither upwards (so as not to
affect the foot) nor downwards (so as to avoid tripping), but being
somewhat loose to both directions. The width of the upper section
of the sole body (1), that is, the upper layer or layers as a
whole, will be bigger than the height of the iron fittings.
[0013] The shape, arrangement, and material of the links (4) will
depend on the different models (metal, plastic, lined way as the
sole, etc., ring-like, rectangle-like, with iron fittings, etc.).
So, for example, some wide straps (3) may need a lower number of
links (4) around the sole.
[0014] The folding iron fittings (4) allow then putting on and
taking off different cuts (6) of one sole.
