surface of the skate, when executing maneuvers, and with the floor,
when the impulsion for the acquisition of speed or to brake it, The
surfaces (1 and 5) being manufactured in different textures,
designs and thicknesses (7), providing different combinations of
strength, elasticity and aesthetics, while the inner front surface
(2) is adapted to different shoe models, since fabricated in
attention (3) and the outer lower surface (8) have the function of
protecting the front sole of the footwear from extreme wear, the
connection of the front part of the device (1, 2, 3 and 8) to the
rear part 4, by means of side strips 5, which have the function of
fixing the device to the footwear, finally the surface 7 represents
the thickness of the material to be used which Must be sturdy and

Description
[0001] The present invention relates to the "FOOTWEAR PROTECTOR FOR
SKATE PRACTICE", which is a device in natural or synthetic material
that fits perfectly to the shoes of skateboarders, providing
durability as it mitigates damage Due to the friction with the
skate sandpaper and with the floor, whether due to maneuvering, or
due to the impulse to speed acquisition, or even to braking,
besides contributing to the safety and performance of the athlete
when maneuvering, due to to the improvement in the adhesion of the
skate to the feet.
[0002] As is known by skateboarders, there are currently shoes
developed for the practice of the sport, but all of them, without
exception, suffer the effect of early wear, reducing the life of
the footwear due to the constant friction with the surface
sandpaper of the skate and also with the floor, since, due to the
inexistence of brakes in the skate, the only option to interrupt
its operation is the direct contact of the feet with the floor,
thus, all the external parts of the footwear suffer some type of
damage, The front sole in excess.
[0003] Therefore, the object of the present invention is the design
of an easy-to-use footwear protective device which unite function
and performance.
[0004] For a better understanding of the present device, a detailed
description thereof is given below, with references to the
accompanying drawings, where:
[0005] FIG. 1 represents a perspective view, highlighting the
details of the front of the device;
[0006] FIG. 2 illustrates another perspective view, however,
highlighting the details of the inner part of the device;
[0007] FIG. 3 shows a top view of the device; and the
[0008] FIG. 4 shows a bottom view of the device.
[0009] According to these illustrations and in their details, more
particularly FIGS. 1 to 4, the device of the present invention,
FOOTWEAR PROTECTOR FOR SKATE PRACTICE, is of the type manufactured
from natural or synthetic rubberized material, with resistant and
elastic characteristics, through the use of an appropriate
injection or vulcanization process, or resistant fabric, natural or
synthetic, with a resilient and elastic characteristic, through the
use of sewing methods, having as main function the protection of
the front part of the footwear, being the outer upper front surface
of the device (1) responsible for the protection of the upper front
part of the shoe, from wear caused by contact with the sandpaper
surface of the skate, when performing maneuvers, this outer upper
front surface of the device (1) can be manufactured with different
textures, designs and thicknesses (7), in this way, it provides
different combinations of strength, elasticity and aesthetics,
while the upper inner surface of the device (2) is in direct
contact with the upper front part of the footwear, since, due to
its elastic rubber material, it can perfectly adapt to the
different footwear models, and the lower inner front surface of the
device (3) is in direct contact with the front of the footwear's
sole, and the outer lower surface of the device (8) stays in direct
contact with the sandpaper surface of the skate and with the floor,
and aims at the protection of the front of the footwear's sole,
which suffers extreme wear due to constant friction, either when
the skater gets a kick to propel the skate forward, to perform
maneuvers or even to stop abruptly and brake it.
[0010] The entire front part of the device (1), (2), (3), (8) is
connected to the rear part of the device (4) which is in contact
with the back of the footwear by means of the side handles of the
device (5), which are in contact with the sides of the
footwear.
[0011] The side handles of the device (5) and the rear part of the
device (4) have the function of securing and fixing the entire
front part of the device (1), (2), (3), (8) to the footwear in such
a way that it stays well fitted and do not loose itself, now the
device surface (7) represents the thickness of the material which,
by the use of resilient and elastic material, allows it to be
stretched tightly to the footwear, giving even better grip during
maneuvers.
