Even though technology has provided great enhancements regarding commercial interactions, there is still a significant amount of commerce transacted in person either with personal meetings or trade shows. One particular industry in which in person and tradeshow commerce remains significant is that of footwear.
As industry professionals will tell you, a significant difficulty in the personal and trade show settings for those engaged in the footwear industry is the bulky shoebox. The shoebox remains a staple in the industry.
Carrying multiple shoeboxes is and has been a challenge. There has yet to be a simple device for transporting multiple shoeboxes in a configuration such that the brands, sizes, and styles, are viewable while the boxes are in the carry system.
The present invention addresses this need.
The present invention includes intended use for shoe collectors to carry their shoe boxes for the shoes that they plan to sell at a live event. It allows for mobility while carrying the shoes and boxes.
Traditionally, shoe sellers would have to hold many boxes and it was very difficult to display the actual shoe, unless they had a very expensive table purchased from the event owners.
In the field, it is known that the premier sneaker show or trade show for sneakers is run by an organizer named. SneakerCon. They do month to twice a month shows throughout the U.S. They have banned as of the beginning of this year, due to it also being a fire hazard, any carts or dollies or anything with wheels from entering their events. This has also created a need at these events to be able to carry sneakers and their original boxes but also allow the boxes to be displayed. Obviously, this very recent development is demonstrating a great need for the system of the present invention as it is evident other devices and systems have failed to meet the need.
In one embodiment, the present invention is a shoe box carry system comprising:
In one embodiment, the at least one support strap is configured vertically to hold shoeboxes on said carry system.
In one embodiment, the system is configured including two shoe box support straps.
In one embodiment, the two shoe box support straps are configured vertically to hold shoeboxes on said carry system.
In one embodiment, the visibility of indicia is indicia positioned on a width of said shoe boxes.
In one embodiment, the visibility of indicia is indicia positioned on a length of said shoe boxes.
In one embodiment, the said visibility of indicia is indicia positioned on each of a width and a length of said shoe boxes.
In one embodiment, the present invention is a shoe box carry system consisting of:
In one embodiment, the present invent ion is a shoe box carry system consisting of:
Although the drawings demonstrate various configurations the impetus of the invention is to provide a system for caring shoeboxes whereby indicia on each individual shoebox is visible when the system has boxes positioned in a carry configuration.
This is a significant improvement over simple carry systems in which of boxes placed. In the system, the box indicia is not easily readable while boxes are being carried.
System 10 is constructing arranged such that a person 12 carries more than two shoeboxes in the carry system of the present invention.
As referred to herein and demonstrated in
As shown in the schematic I
As has been explained herein, events such as SnearkerCon, tradeshows, and the like have placed great restrictions on caring systems for carrying shoeboxes in their events.
While the invention has been described in its preferred form or embodiment with some degree of particularity, it is understood that this description has been given only by way of example and that numerous changes in the details of construction, fabrication, and use, including the combination and arrangement of parts, may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.
