Shoe with a retractable and extractable heel controlled by a Smart device

Abstract

A shoe with a retractable heel in which the first members housing body, is cored by the second members threaded bolt, which is operated by a rotating motor attached in the first members cavity which turns a gear, which then rotates the threaded bolt and extracts and/or retracts the heels assembly when activated by the user's smart communication device.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0002] Many types of shoes have adjustable heels. The two distinction between this adjustable heel is its first member is attached to the second member using a threaded bolt assembly. The first member is able to adjust the height of the heel using an electric motor that rotates the threaded bolt which then adjusts the length of member two. The second distinction is adjustment of the length is precisely controlled through the user's Smart electronic communication device which respectively sends the signal to members one's electronic motor to extend or retract the bolt to the required height.

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

[0003] The current invention relates to shoes specifically with shoes with an adjustable heel that is controlled with a powered motor and threaded bolt assembly.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

[0004] The purpose of the device, is to provide an adjustable heel to a shoe that can be adjusted using a smart mobile device wireless communication methods, powered by an electric motor and threaded bolt assembly which then adjusts the distance between the two members which then heightens the shoes elevation.

[0005] To heighten the shoes elevation, the upper heel member is configured as an orifice in which the second members threaded bolt components screws into the upper member's cavity. The upper member is affixed with an electric motor that contains gears in which the gear grooves and the second members threaded bolt is aligned. When electric power is applied to the motor through the mart mobile device wireless communication device, the shoe elevation is heighten and can be adjusted to the user's preference.

[0006] The first heel member is approximately 0.5 inches to approximately 5 inches and the second member has an orifice that is aligned with the threaded bolt to bolt to accept member when rotated. The combined and an electric change is applied using mobile communication device the heel is then elevated and together the combined members are configured as a woman's high heel shoe.

[0007] This summary has described the overall features of the product being a shoe with an adjustable heel with the description below giving a more detailed definition that will clearly portray the members with detailed artwork and schematics.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0012] The details shown in the drawings listed in FIG. 1 through 5, list the intricate assembly and inner workings of the A shoe with a retractable heel in which the first members housing body, is cored by the second members threaded bolt, which is operated by a rotating motor attached in the first member's cavity which turns a gear, which then rotates the threaded bolt and extracts and/or retracts the heels assembly when activated by the user's Smart communication device. These intricate parts are listed from number 1 through 15.

[0013] FIG. 2,3 shows an assembly of an adjustable shoe that can retract and extract the heel of a shoe when activated by the user's Smart communication device, thus raising and lowering the elevation of the rear of the shoe. The top upper portion 1 is the embodiment of a traditional shoe but affixed with a modular subassembly 2. The subassembly 2 contains the electrical and mechanical components that then completes the assembly.

[0014] The heel 4 orifice is placed at the bottom of the heel to allow the heel 3 to elevate up and down using a threaded screw and bolt type mechanism. In order for threaded bolt 3 to slide up and down through the orifice 4 it is rotated by an electric motor 5. The electric motor 5 is powered using a rechargeable battery 7. The motor 5 rotates a gear 6 which then spins the threaded bolt 3 through orifice 4. This raises the elevation of the heel 3 up or down and places the threaded bolt 3 within the cavity of the heel member 2. The rechargeable battery 7 can be recharged when power is completely discharged using a mobile phone USB port 8.

[0015] FIG. 4, the mechanical effect is triggered by the user's mobile device 9. The mobile device 9 launches an app dedicated to the controls of the heels vertical adjustments. The user connects to the desired shoe by selecting the "connect to shoe" button on the app 11. The app displays the shoe/shoes 11 to be selected. The app has separate left right adjustments 12 that can be selected to control left right or both heels simultaneously or independently. The center of the apps displays the current status of the heel height displacement 13. The user can select the up 16 or down 14 arrows to adjust the heels display on the screen 13 or read the displacement numerically in an imperial or international standard units of measurement located in a digital counter box within the of the app 15. The adjustment of the heel will range for zero elevation to approximately 6 inches. The combination of the mentioned configuration completes the adjustable high heel shoe.

Claims

1. Shoe with a threaded bolt and retractable and extractable heel controlled by a Smart mobile communication device comprising: the first member attached beneath the heel of a shoe; a second member impaled below the first members central cavity using a bolt and thread mechanism; an electric motor placed vertically within the first members wall affixed with mechanical gear wheels near the bottom of member one; wherein the motor is triggered by electronic communication and an electronic charge and the rotating gears retract and extract the second members threaded cylindrical bolt to adjust the height within the heel, whereby the heel is lengthened or shortened; the second members threaded cylindrical bolt is capped with a mechanical gear wheel which is affixed to member one's rotating gears which then spins and slides along the threaded path vertically. Member two's screw bolt assembly replicates that of a typical helical ridge; its male thread is wrapped around a cylinder bolt designed to mate with the complementary female thread located in member one. The shanks then bonding members one and two respectively lengthening and shortening the heel.

2. A Smart communication device claim of 1 wherein the user manipulates the apparatus to connect to members one and two; which electronically transmits a signal that communicates to member one's motor to rotate clockwise or counterclockwise by receiving and analyzing said encoded electronic signal; then respectively lengthen and shorten the heel; wherein the member one is coupled to the Smart communication device via a Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, or Near-Field communication (NFC) signal.

3. The shoe in claim 1 whereas the combination of claims 1 and 2, where member 1 and member 2 are configured collectively for an adjustable height heel shoe.
