Method of fast reforming wearable goods and handbags

Abstract

Method of fast reforming wearable goods and handbags, providing people flexibility to change the appearances of wearable goods and handbags. The method designs an approach of using easy fastener connecting hardware to connect interchangeable sections of wearable goods and handbags. The fastener, which is used as connecting device of the method, is applied to assemble and fasten the materials of interchangeable sections. The method claims the interchangeable and detachable sections of wearable goods and handbags designed with supporting small holes or built-in pins of fasteners, so that the pins of the fastener hardware can be used to connect different sections through the small holes. The fastener hardware has secured fasten after connecting interchangeable accessories. To install and fasten the fastener, people can just insert the pin of the fastener to the base of the fastener. Inserting pins of fasteners through holes of detachable materials, multi-layer materials can be assembled and fixed to the base of fastener. With the design of the method, wearable goods such as footwear upper vamp, footwear front upper, footwear rear upper, footwear soles, hats, bag panels, bag straps, bag handles, and bag accessories can be assembled or disassembled by attaching or detaching with fasteners. Therefore, people can change or reverse the footwear upper vamp appearances without changing the soles of footwear by replacing or applying the interchangeable upper vamp pieces with fasteners. People can change the footwear soles without changing the footwear upper vamp by applying the interchangeable soles with fasteners. People can change the brim combination of hat by connecting different piece of brim with fasteners. People can change bag panels by applying the interchangeable panels with fasteners. People can change bag accessories such as straps, handles, flaps, ornamental members by replacing the interchangeable pieces with fasteners. People can convert big tote panel to form small purse or shoulder bag by attaching to different interchangeable panels with fasteners. The method claims not to give sewing to assemble footwear, hat, and handbags. The method claims small holes or built-in pins of fasteners designing on the interchangeable materials, appearances of wearable goods or handbags can be reformed by assembling with fasteners.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

In day life, we usually see people wear the same shoes, hats, handbags. Most designers design the fixed appearances of wearable goods and handbags. It raises a question how to reduce the probabilities of wearing the same. Nowadays, most footwear vamps are sewed to soles, handbags panels are stitched together. How can we make personalize products which can allow people to assemble and disassemble wearable goods and handbags by their own? The approach of the invention is to design the parts of the wearable goods and handbags to be detachable, interchangeable and reversible. The method provides the flexibilities of changing assembly combinations as well as the patterns and shapes of the wearable goods and handbags. The method uses fasteners to assemble and connect individual detachable part. The method differentiates assembly of wearable goods and handbags from stitching method. Instead, the method claims small holes or built-in pins on each detachable section. Then the detachable sections can be assembled together by fasteners to form new appearances of wearable goods or handbags.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

FIG. 1 is a sandal. 101 is the sandal sole. 102 is the sandal front upper. 103 is the sandal rear upper. 104 are the ornamental parts, also the customized caps of the fasteners.

FIG. 2 is a perspective view of a sandal, which illustrates how the detachable parts 201, 202, 205, 206 assemble to the sandal sole instead of sewing to the sandal sole. The sandal sole has built-in connecting sections 203, 204, 207, 208. The equivalent small holes are designed in 201, 202, 203, 204. The small holes are correspondently matched. The similar design of the small holes also applies to 205, 206, 207208. These small holes will allow 210 pin of fastener to go through. The built-in pin can be designed on 203, 204, 207, 208, while the pin head stays inside of the vamp and pin foot points to outside. Then insert the built-in pin to 201, 202, 205, 206, and eventually insert to 211 base of fastener hardware, then give fastening. 210 inserts from inside of sandal front upper vamp through one of the small holes on 203, and then go through the corresponding hole on 201, then inserts into 211. 201 and 203 will be connected and assembled together. Therefore, 211 will be outside after assembly, while 210 pin head stay in the interior side. 211 can be used as ornamental parts to decorate the wearable items. For example, 104 in FIG. 1 are the ornamental parts, which are installed on sandal's upper vamp. 104 are also the customized caps of 211. 104 can be designed into different shapes and patterns. The same approach can be used to assemble the other detachable parts of the sandal upper vamp such as 205206207208. In addition, 201202 is reversible front upper vamp, people can attach and install the other side of 201202 to 203204. Thus, the front upper can change to be a different color or pattern on the other reversed side,

FIG. 2a 220 221 is an alternate footwear front upper that can replace with 201202. After disassembling and removing 201202 from sandal sole, 220221 can be attached to 203204 by fasteners. The similar method can be used to assemble different shapes of footwear upper vamps to different shapes of footwear soles.

FIG. 3 illustrates the similar method that uses fasteners 210211 to assemble a hat. 301 is front view of a hat. 302 is top view of the hat.

FIG. 4 401 illustrates the separate part of hat, which has a short brim. 401 can be removed from 301 by detaching the fasteners from the supporting holes on the short brim. 401 can be also used as independent hat with short brim. 402 is top view of the hat with short brim.

FIG. 5 illustrates 501 a different pattern of a long hat brim that can be attached to 401 by fasteners.

FIG. 6 601 shows another style of hat assembly combination, which attach 501 to 401 using the method of fast assembly and reforming a different appearance of hat with fasteners. 602 is top view of the new combination. The method provides a flexible way to assemble different patterns of hat brim together. As such, people can make different look of the hat. The method also provides flexibility to convert a hat with long brim to short brim style.

FIG. 7 illustrates a tote handbag with detachable 702 exterior pocket. 702 can be attached to 701 bag panel with fasteners. If 702 has built-in pins, the pins of fasteners will go through the corresponding holes on 701 and insert to the bases of the fasteners to give fastening. If 702 has no built-in pins but open small holes, it can also be attached to 701 using the same method, inserting the pins of the fasteners through the eight holes on 701702 then give fastening.

FIG. 8 illustrates how 701 the handbag panel with built-in pins attaching to the handbag. Just like the same method in FIG. 7, insert each pin head of 701 through the small holes on 801 and give fastening inside the handbag. 801 can be a semi-finished handbag excluding front panel 701. 801 can also be disassembled into four panel pieces. The four panel pieces include back panel (same shape as 701), FIG. 8a 802 right panel, FIG. 8a 803 left panel, and FIG. 8a 804 bottom panel. The four panels can be assembled using fasteners in the same method. 701 built-in pins will not be seen from the front of the handbag. 701 has eight open holes on the panel, which are used to connect exterior pocket or accessories.

FIG. 9 703 is a detachable bag handle which assembled on the handbag in FIG. 7. After removing 702 from 701, and removing 703 from the handbag, 704 a different style of detachable bag handle can be installed on the visible holes of the panel 701.

FIG. 10 illustrates the method of converting 701 to a small purse in cylinder shape. Rolling up 701, the eight visible holes which used to connect the exterior pocket stay closer after rolling up. Installing 1001 flap lock on the eight visible holes, the small purse will be able to close. 705 is customized side panel which support 701 converts to cylinder shape. 1001 is removeable flap lock, it can be replaced by different interchangeable flap lock which can also be installed by fasteners.

FIG. 11 706 is same as 701. Instead of having built-in pins, 706 has open holes. 706 can be converted to small purse by connecting to 707. When attaching 707 to 706, pins of fasteners can be installed from inside of the purse, leave bases of fasteners as embellishments outside of the 706 panel.

FIG. 12 illustrates converting 701 into small purse using the method illustrated in FIG. 11.

FIG. 13 illustrates converting 706 into small purse using the method illustrated in FIG. 11. Because 706 and 701 are same except 701 has built-in pins on each side, same component 707 can be used to support both 701706 converting to small purse. The method helps to make personalized assembly combination by applying the different interchangeable handbag accessories such as handbag handles 708709. 709 can be installed and attached to the four visible holes which used to connect the exterior pocket. There will be four visible holes on each side of 701706 after converting. 708 is a bag handle that can be installed on the side of 701 or 706 panel. The similar method can be used to assemble or convert handbag to different shape.
