The present disclosure relates to rapid-entry footwear having an actuator arm.
Whether due to inconvenience or inability, donning shoes, including tying or otherwise securing the same, may present difficulties to some individuals. The present disclosure addresses this need.
Disclosed herein, according to various embodiments, is a rapid-entry shoe comprising an actuator arm, having a pivot point, and a closure system. Movement of the actuator arm from an uncollapsed position to a collapsed position opens the closure system and movement of the actuator arm from the collapsed position to the uncollapsed position closes the closure system, according to various embodiments.
The forgoing features and elements may be combined in various combinations without exclusivity, unless expressly indicated herein otherwise. These features and elements as well as the operation of the disclosed embodiments will become more apparent in light of the following description and accompanying drawings.
The accompanying drawings are included to provide a further understanding of the present disclosure and are incorporated in, and constitute a part of, this specification, illustrate various embodiments, and together with the description, serve to explain the principles of the disclosure.
The detailed description of various embodiments herein makes reference to the accompanying drawings, which show various embodiments by way of illustration. While these various embodiments are described in sufficient detail to enable those skilled in the art to practice the disclosure, it should be understood that other embodiments may be realized and that logical, chemical, mechanical and structural changes may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the disclosure. Thus, the detailed description herein is presented for purposes of illustration only and not of limitation. Like numerals may refer to like components.
For example, the steps recited in any of the method or process descriptions may be executed in any order and are not necessarily limited to the order presented. Furthermore, any reference to singular includes plural embodiments, and any reference to more than one component or step may include a singular embodiment or step. Also, any reference to attached, fixed, connected, coupled or the like may include permanent (e.g., integral), removable, temporary, partial, full, and/or any other possible attachment option. Any of the components may be coupled to each other via bolts, dowels, glue, stitching, welding, soldering, brazing, sleeves, brackets, clips or other means known in the art or hereinafter developed. Additionally, any reference to without contact (or similar phrases) may also include reduced contact or minimal contact.
As used herein, a shoe is any footwear including but not limited to a formal shoe, a dress shoe, a heel, a sports/athletic shoe (e.g., a tennis shoe, a golf shoe, a bowling shoe, a running shoe, a basketball shoe, a soccer shoe, a ballet shoe, etc.), a walking shoe, a sandal, a flip flop, a boot, a high top style boot, or other suitable type of shoe.
Example embodiments of the present disclosure comprise a shoe having an uncollapsed configuration (
Example embodiments comprise a shoe having two actuator arms, each extending from a rear portion of the shoe (e.g., connected to the heel or a heel cap, heel counter or the like) and located on an opposing medial or lateral side of the shoe. In some embodiments, the actuator arms are coupled to one another around the rear portion of the shoe, while in other embodiments, the actuator arms are independent of each other. While much of the present disclosure will reference a single actuator arm for simplicity, persons skilled in the art will appreciate that two actuator arms, located on an opposing medial or lateral side of the shoe, will be used in various of the embodiments.
In example embodiments, the actuator arm is comprised of a material resistant to deformation, even elastic deformation, e.g., a rigid or hard polymer. In this regard, however, the actuator arm can comprise an overmold or other polymer or textile covering (including the shoe upper or a portion thereof) to minimize discomfort experienced by an individual wearing the shoe. In various embodiments, the actuator arm 100 includes a rear segment 102 and a forward segment 103, with the pivot point 101 disposed therebetween. That is, the portion of the actuator arm 100 behind the pivot point 101 is referred to as the rear segment 102 and the portion of the actuator arm 100 forward of the pivot point 101 is referred to as the forward segment 103, according to various embodiments.
In various embodiments, pivot point 101 is positioned away from the rear portion of the shoe, and is a fixed point around which the actuator arm 100 pivots. For example, in an uncollapsed position, the actuator arm may be oriented downward in the direction away from the rear portion of the shoe, while in a collapsed position, the actuator arm may be oriented level or upward in the direction away from the rear portion of the shoe. The actuator arm may be moved from the uncollapsed position to the collapsed position upon an individual's heel applying a downward force to the rear portion of the shoe upon entry. In various embodiments, movement of the actuator arm 100 from the uncollapsed position to the collapsed position (e.g., transitioning from
The pivot point may be located between the footbed and topline of the shoe. In various embodiments, the pivot point is below the footbed. The pivot point may comprise a rivet, pin, snap or other structure between the actuator arm and the shoe upper or outsole to provide for rotation there between. In example embodiments, and with momentary reference to
In various embodiments, the closure system 110 may be coupled to the forward segment 103 of the actuator arm 100 (e.g., at coupling point 105). Said differently, the actuator arm 100, in accordance with various embodiments, comprises a coupling point 105 positioned further away from the rear portion of the shoe than the pivot point 101, and the coupling point 105 may enable relative rotation between the actuator arm and the closure system. At the coupling point 105, the actuator arm can be coupled to the closure system 110. In various embodiments, the coupling point 105 may be located between the footbed and topline of the shoe. As mentioned below, the coupling point 105 may be nearer to the footbed than the pivot point 101 in the uncollapsed position, but the pivot point 101 may be nearer to the footbed than the coupling point 105 in the collapsed position.
As used herein, the term closure system refers generally to a feature of the shoe that is coupled to the actuator arm at the coupling point. The pivoting movement of the actuator arm is perpetuated by the closure system to enlarge and decrease the foot opening defined by the shoe. In various embodiments, and with reference to
In accordance with example embodiments of the present disclosure, and with momentary reference to
In various embodiments, and with reference to
In various embodiments, and with continued reference to
A closure system 110, as mentioned above, may include comprise a closure strap. In some embodiments, as illustrated in
In example embodiments, and returning to reference
In general, movement of the actuator arm from the uncollapsed position to the collapsed position can open the closure system (e.g., raise the tongue and/or closure strap away from the shoe upper), while movement of the actuator arm from the collapsed position to the uncollapsed position can close the closure system (e.g., lower the tongue and/or closure strap toward the shoe upper). As the actuator arm rotates it moves the closure system (and whatever it is coupled to) upward and away from the quarters and throat of the upper, making the opening wider.
In some embodiments, movement of the actuator arm from the collapsed position to the uncollapsed position can be facilitated by one or more resiliently deformable elements 115, e.g., extending from below the footbed of the shoe to the rear portion of the shoe, e.g., as described in U.S. Pat. No. 9,820,527, which is incorporated herein by reference for all purposes. The resiliently deformable element(s) 115 may provide a rebounding action to return the heal of the shoe to the closed position (uncollapsed position). The resiliently deformable element may be coupled to and may extend from below a footbed of the rapid-entry shoe.
In other example embodiments, and with momentary reference to
With reference now to
The shoe can comprise one or more pivot points 801 and 804, each on the medial and/or lateral side of the shoe, which in turn can comprise one or more of a rivet, pin, snap or other structure to provide for relative rotation. Pivot points 801 and 804 can be attached to a base, whether directly or indirectly. For example, pivot point 801 can provide for relative rotation between actuator arm 800 and a base. Similarly, pivot point 804 can provide for relative rotation between closure system 810 and a base. Optionally, one or more pivot points 801 and 804 can also anchor actuator arm 800 and/or closure system 810 relative to a base. As used herein, a “base” may refer to a stable base plate in the shoe, an outsole or portions thereof, a midsole or portions thereof, an insole or portions thereof, a wedge or portions thereof, the upper or portions thereof (e.g., a heel counter), or other suitable structure disposed between and/or adjacent to foregoing.
In various embodiments, a living hinge is formed between the actuator arm and the closure system. That is, the hinge may be made from the same material as and/or integral with the two pieces it connects. The living hinge may facilitate relative movement of the actuator arm and the closure system. That is, movement of the actuator arm from an uncollapsed position to a collapsed position opens the closure system, and wherein movement of the actuator arm from the collapsed position to the uncollapsed position closes the closure system. In various embodiments, the living hinge 807 is formed in part by a narrowed strip of the forward segment of the actuator arm 800 includes. The narrowed strip of material, which may be resiliently flexible, transitions from the actuator arm 800 to the closure system 810. An edge of the closure system may have a rounded edge, such that the narrowed strip of material extends adjacent to the rounded edge (e.g., extending forward and under the rounded edge of closure system 810). A slit may be defined between the rounded edge and the narrowed strip of material, wherein a dimension of the slit is greater in the collapsed position than in the uncollapsed position. In various embodiments, the narrowed strip of material extends from a forward edge of the closure system.
Actuator arm 800 and closure system 810 can be coupled to each other at a coupling point, as described supra, on the medial and/or lateral side of the shoe. In the illustrated embodiment, however, actuator arm 800 and closure system 810 are coupled to each other with a living hinge 807, on the medial and/or lateral side of the shoe.
