Definitions

  • This invention has as object a shoe with heel area opening to make the fit easy and adjustable.
  • the invention finds particular even if not exclusive destination in the field of children's clothing and, in particular, footwear.
  • Footwear for young children and in the developing age, and clothing in general, is a typical problem for parents, because in this age group children grow rapidly making it therefore necessary to adapt clothing to successive growth stages. The circumstance entails significant costs that can affect the family budget significantly.
  • Solutions of adjustable shoes are known in the field of children's footwear, that is footwear equipped with devices or elements that allow the shoe to be easily adapted, within a certain range of predefined values, following the growth of the child's foot. This results in the achievement of the aim relative to adjusting the same shoe in function of the progression of sizes of the foot.
  • JP5192201 (Aasaa ), describes a children's shoe equipped with a removable internal sole with a particular structure, that compensates for the smaller-sized foot inside the shoe; said internal sole obviously is removed with the growth of the child.
  • US5570523 (Ji-Tyan ) describes a modular shoe, that is, in which the part of the upper that bands the heel is separated from the front part of the upper, and further custom insoles can be applied inside in order to increase the internal thickness and therefore to satisfy the needs of a smaller-sized foot.
  • JP11169202 (Kazuyuki ) and GB465968 (Hutton ), propose a shoe in which the part of the upper that bands the heel is separated from the front part of the shoe; the two parts are hooked at the sole by means of male-female connections.
  • a further disadvantage, in the adjustable footwear and in the techniques adopted until today, relates to the fact that the components that participate to the adjustment of the shoe do not allow for a rationalisation of the production costs and management of the storehouse codes.
  • Another aim that was desired was the obtainment of a shoe particularly for children with a greater adjusting and adapting capacity as to the child's growth and therefore a shoe with universal fitting.
  • An additional aim consists in the fact that the shoe, structured as desired, is roomy and comfortable and does not present cutting or unsuitable blister dangers for the child's foot, a non-decomposable shoe avoiding possible slackness or accidental opening problems of the hooking systems of the shoe itself during normal use as well as possible water infiltrations.
  • a third aim was to obtain a shoe that in completely open configuration could also act as sandal in the summer period, letting the foot perspire to a greater extent.
  • One more aim is referable to the fact that the number of components participating in the embodiment of the shoe, is extremely moderate, above all simplifying and making the management of storehouse codes easier.
  • Figure 1 is a side-view of the shoe object of the invention completely closed.
  • Figure 2 is a side-view of the shoe object of the invention completely open.
  • Figure 3 is a view from the rear part of the shoe object of the invention completely closed.
  • Figure 4 illustrates the longitudinal section of the lower connection border 4 and of the upper connection border 3 in the complete closing phase and in the partial closing phase of the shoe object of the invention.
  • the object of the invention refers to the children's shoe 1 with adjustable heel area opening ( figs. 1, 2, 3 ) and a constructive particular ( fig. 4 ).
  • the shoe 1 object of the invention is essentially composed by a sole 11 and an upper 12.
  • the upper 12 is substantially divided in a front portion 121 corresponding to the tip and the back of the foot and in a rear portion 122, corresponding to the heel area with adjustable opening, according to an imaginary straight line inclined with respect to the plane of the sole 11 about 45° and passing through the hinge 13 ( fig. 1 ).
  • the front portion 121 is joined to the sole 11, while the rear portion 122, that bands the heel, is movable being hinged in its lower end, by means of a hinge 13, at the rear end of the sole 11 and at the end of the front portion 121 of the upper 12.
  • the rear portion 122 is equipped with two toothed tongues 14 each of which is hinged at the end 141 to the rear portion 122.
  • the tongues 14 are therefore able to rotate around the axis passing through the hinging point of the end 141.
  • the tongues 14, as said above, are placed in a symmetrical position and on opposite sides of the rear portion 122 of the upper 12 with respect to longitudinal axis of the shoe 1.
  • each tongue 14 is inserted inside the hooking device of the toothed tongue 15 placed, obviously, in a congruent position for the insertion of the free end 142 of the tongue 14, on the front portion 121 of the upper 12.
  • the hooking device 15 of the toothed tongue 14 that in this case consists of a hooked lever, is present at least in a quantity of two and each of them is placed in a symmetrical position and on opposite sides of the rear portion 122 with respect to the longitudinal axis of the shoe 1.
  • the hooking device 15 can be hinged too in such a way as to present the orientable entry in relation to the inclination degree of the toothed tongue 14.
  • the adjustment of the shoe 1 object of the invention is carried out more or less partially inserting the toothed tongue 14, by means of the free end 142, inside the hooking device 15 of the toothed tongue 14, therefore more or less approaching the rear portion 122 to the front part 121 in such a way as to give the child a comfortable fit, said rear portion 122 being able to rotate around the axis passing through the hinge 13.
  • the hinge 13 in one of the cases can be composed by a mechanical device, or alternatively, comprise a connecting material portion of the yielding type in order to allow for the rotation of the rear portion 122, with respect to the front portion 121.
  • the upper connection border 3 of the rear portion 122 acting as a male connection, is more or less partially inserted in the guiding seat 401 (see fig. 4 ) according to the closing degree, guiding seat 401 acting as a female connection and obtained in the lower connection border 4 of the front portion 121 of the upper 12.
