Abstract

A rapid-entry shoe having a rotating rear portion configured to be rotated around an axis of rotation and deflected at a fulcrum to create a stress in the rotating rear portion when the shoe is in a collapsed configuration to bias the shoe toward an uncollapsed configuration.

Claims (34)

1. A rapid-entry shoe comprising:

a sole portion;

an upper coupled to the sole portion;

a rotating rear portion coupled to opposing sides of the upper through an axis of rotation;

a fulcrum coupled to the upper and the fulcrum not coupled to the rotating rear portion; and

wherein the rapid-entry shoe has an uncollapsed configuration;

wherein the rapid-entry shoe has a collapsed configuration to facilitate donning and doffing of the rapid-entry shoe;

wherein, in the collapsed configuration, the rotating rear portion is rotated around the axis of rotation toward the sole portion and deflected at the fulcrum to create a stress in the rotating rear portion;

wherein the stress results from contact between the fulcrum and the rotating rear portion; and

wherein the rapid-entry shoe is biased by the stress toward the uncollapsed configuration.

2. The rapid-entry shoe of claim 1 , wherein the rotating rear portion is a strap.

3. The rapid-entry shoe of claim 1 , wherein the fulcrum comprises one of a slot and a lateral flange to prevent the rotating rear portion from rotating beyond the fulcrum.

4. The rapid-entry shoe of claim 3 , wherein the lateral flange comprises an edge that is tapered to direct movement of an edge of the rotating rear portion.

5. The rapid-entry shoe of claim 1 , further comprising a u-shaped rear stabilizer coupled to the rotating rear portion, the rear stabilizer configured to prevent inward deflection of the rotating rear portion when the rapid-entry shoe is in the collapsed configuration.

6. The rapid-entry shoe of claim 1 , wherein a perimeter of the rotating rear portion is greater than a perimeter of a rear portion of the upper.

7. The rapid-entry shoe of claim 6 , wherein the perimeter of the rotating rear portion is greater than a perimeter of a rear portion of the sole portion.

8. The rapid-entry shoe of claim 1 , wherein the fulcrum comprises a curved, rounded or elongated upper edge to evenly distribute the stress along a portion of the rotating rear portion.

9. A rapid-entry shoe comprising:

a sole portion;

an upper coupled to the sole portion;

a rotating rear portion coupled at a coupling to opposing sides of the upper through an axis of rotation;

a plurality of fulcrums coupled to opposing sides of the upper and no fulcrum of the plurality of fulcrums coupled to the rotating rear portion; and

wherein the rapid-entry shoe has an uncollapsed configuration;

wherein the rapid-entry shoe has a collapsed configuration to facilitate donning and doffing of the rapid-entry shoe;

wherein, in the collapsed configuration, the rotating rear portion is rotated around the axis of rotation toward the sole portion and deflected by at least one fulcrum of the plurality of fulcrums to create a stress in the rotating rear portion;

wherein the stress results from contact between the at least one fulcrum of the plurality of fulcrums and the rotating rear portion; and

wherein the rapid-entry shoe is biased by the stress toward the uncollapsed configuration.

10. The rapid-entry shoe of claim 9 , wherein the coupling permits rotational relative movement between the rotating rear portion and the upper.

11. The rapid-entry shoe of claim 9 , wherein at least one fulcrum of the plurality of fulcrums comprises one of a slot and a lateral flange to prevent the rotating rear portion from rotating beyond the at least one fulcrum of the plurality of fulcrums.

12. The rapid-entry shoe of claim 11 , wherein the lateral flange comprises an edge that is tapered to direct movement of an edge of the rotating rear portion.

13. The rapid-entry shoe of claim 9 , further comprising a u-shaped rear stabilizer coupled to the rotating rear portion, the rear stabilizer configured to prevent inward deflection of the rotating rear portion when the rapid-entry shoe is in the collapsed configuration.

14. The rapid-entry shoe of claim 9 , wherein a perimeter of the rotating rear portion is greater than a perimeter of a rear portion of the upper.

15. The rapid-entry shoe of claim 14 , wherein the perimeter of the rotating rear portion is greater than a perimeter of a rear portion of the sole portion.

16. The rapid-entry shoe of claim 9 , wherein at least one fulcrum of the plurality of fulcrums comprises a curved, rounded or elongated upper edge to evenly distribute the stress along a portion of the rotating rear portion.
