Abstract

A bootie application device that provides booties that slide along a rail system on tabs that releasably connect the booties to the rail system. A sensor detects when booties are not disposed at a position along the rail system and issues a bootie level signal. An alert indicates when the bootie level signal has been issued.

Claims (16)

1. In a bootie application device of the type that provides booties that slide along a rail system on tabs that releasably connect the booties to the rail system to a lower portion of the rail system for application to a shoe, wherein the rail system comprises a first rail on a first side of the bootie application device and a second rail on a second side of the bootie application device opposite the first side, the improvement comprising a sensor disposed at a position along the first rail that detects when booties are not disposed at the position along the first rail and issues a bootie level signal, wherein the position along the first rails is selectable, and an alert that indicates when the bootie level signal has been issued.

2. The bootie application device of claim 1 , wherein the sensor is a visual sensor.

3. The bootie application device of claim 1 , wherein the sensor is a light sensor.

4. The bootie application device of claim 1 , wherein the sensor is a switch.

5. The bootie application device of claim 1 , wherein the alert is a light.

6. The bootie application device of claim 1 , wherein the alert is an audible alarm.

7. The bootie application device of claim 1 , wherein the alert is an electronic message sent to a phone, tablet, or other portable electronic device.

8. In a bootie application device of the type that provides booties that slide along a rail system on tabs that releasably connect the booties to the rail system, the improvement comprising a sensor that detects when booties are not disposed at a position along the rail system, wherein the position along the rail system is selectable, and issues a bootie level signal, and an alert that indicates when the bootie level signal has been issued.

9. The bootie application device of claim 8 , wherein the sensor is a visual sensor.

10. The bootie application device of claim 8 , wherein the sensor is a light sensor.

11. The bootie application device of claim 8 , wherein the sensor is a switch.

12. The bootie application device of claim 8 , wherein the alert is a light.

13. The bootie application device of claim 8 , wherein the alert is an audible alarm.

14. The bootie application device of claim 8 , wherein the alert is an electronic message sent to a phone, tablet, or other portable electronic device.

15. In a bootie application device of the type that provides booties that slide along a rail system on tabs that releasably connect the booties to the rail system, the improvement comprising a mechanical switch that feels the presence of booties at a position along the rail system, wherein the position along the rail system is selectable, and wherein the mechanical switch detects when booties are not disposed at the position along the rail system and issues a bootie level signal, and an alert that indicates when the bootie level signal has been issued.

16. The bootie application device of claim 15 , wherein the alert is a light.
