Self-fastening indoor protecting device
View Patent ↗The invention relates to gum shoe-type footwear and a mechanism both for fixing the shoes and for fastening normal footwear provided with this mechanism which allows a person to perform this operation without leaning and without using their hands. According to the invention, the device comprises a Subassembly (A) drive mechanism and a Subassembly (B) of lower fastening of the Subassembly (A), a Subassembly (C) of upper fastening of the Subassembly (A) and footwear positioning and a pneumatic Subassembly (D).
1. A multifunctional subassembly for footwear, the subassembly comprising:
an inflatable air tank ( 30 ) configured to be arranged on an upper surface of a sole of a footwear, at a heel side of the sole,
a plurality of inflatable elements ( 45 ) compressible by inflation toward an inside of the footwear, against a compression surface ( 46 ) of the footwear,
a first manifold ( 29 ) connected to the inflatable air tank ( 30 ), and also connected through a valve ( 28 ) to a second manifold ( 44 ), the second manifold ( 44 ) being connected to an capable of supplying air to the plurality of inflatable elements ( 45 ),
a flap ( 24 ) having a compression driving surface in contact with and configured to press the inflatable air tank ( 30 ), the flap ( 24 ) being hinged by means of a hinge ( 23 ) to a frame ( 26 ) configured to be arranged inside the footwear, and
a first button ( 22 ) which, when pressed, fully or partially opens the valve ( 28 ).
2. The subassembly of claim 1 , wherein:
the plurality of inflatable elements comprises a plurality of inflatable slings ( 45 ),
wherein the plurality of inflatable slings ( 45 ) are configured to be arranged on the footwear in an area corresponding to an upper zone of the foot, and configured to follow the shape of the area corresponding to the upper zone of the foot, and
the inflatable air tank ( 30 ), the first manifold ( 29 ), the second manifold ( 44 ) and the inflatable slings ( 45 ) define an air circuit,
the subassembly comprises a second button ( 43 ) which, when pressed, is capable of relaxing a shoe strain by exhausting air from the air circuit to the outside, and
the subassembly comprises a filling valve ( 33 ) through which the air circuit can be inflated with air.
