Abstract

Shoe with a separable sole and upper, wherein the sole ( 1 ) features an upper surface ( 2 ) on which a plurality of tubular elements ( 4 ) are applied so as to be distanced from one another with a predetermined value, wherein the upper ( 7 ) features a lower surface ( 6 ) on which a plurality of tubular elements ( 8 ) are applied so as to be distanced from one another with a predetermined value, wherein the upper ( 7 ) is associable to the sole ( 1 ) by positioning the lower surface ( 6 ) of upper ( 7 ) on the upper surface ( 2 ) of sole ( 1 ) and by inserting the tubular elements ( 8 ) of upper ( 7 ) among the tubular elements ( 4 ) of sole ( 1 ), wherein the upper ( 7 ) is reversibly anchored to the sole ( 1 ) by passing a thread ( 9 ) into the tubular elements of the sole and of the upper after positioning said upper on the sole, characterized in that said tubular elements applied on sole ( 1 ) are positioned in an open annular disposition with two tubular elements ( 40,41 ) each positioned in correspondence of a respective end of said open annular disposition and communicating with a housing ( 200 ) in which handling means for moving the thread ( 9 ) are disposed and act.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A shoe, comprising:
 a separable sole and upper, wherein the sole features an upper surface on which a plurality of tubular elements are applied so as to be distanced from one another with a predetermined value, wherein the upper comprises a lower surface on which a plurality of tubular elements are applied so as to be distanced from one another with a predetermined value, wherein the upper is associable to the sole by positioning the lower surface of upper on the upper surface of sole and by inserting the tubular elements of upper among the tubular elements of sole, wherein the upper is reversibly anchored to the sole by passing a thread into the tubular elements of the sole and of the upper after positioning said upper on the sole, wherein said tubular elements applied on sole are positioned in an open annular disposition with two tubular elements each positioned in correspondence of a respective end of said open annual disposition and communicating with a housing in which handling means for moving the thread are disposed and act.   
   
   
       2 . A shoe according to  claim 1 , wherein said handling means for the thread are operable from the exterior of the shoe. 
   
   
       3 . A shoe according to  claim 1 , wherein said housing is a depression of sole adjacent to said upper surface. 
   
   
       4 . A shoe according to  claim 1 , wherein said housing is internal to said open annular disposition. 
   
   
       5 . A shoe according to  claim 1 , wherein said handling means of thread are normally braked or frictioned. 
   
   
       6 . A shoe according to  claim 1 , wherein said thread handling means comprise a reel on which said thread is wound. 
   
   
       7 . A shoe according to  claim 6 , wherein said reel comprises two throats delimited by three disc surfaces which are parallel to one another and orthogonal to the reel axis, the intermediate disc surface exhibiting a radial interruption. 
   
   
       8 . A shoe according to  claim 6 , wherein said reel comprises a knurled edge in correspondence to the third disc, that is to say in a position underneath the lower throat. 
   
   
       9 . A shoe according to  claim 1 , wherein each of said throats is positioned at the height of a corresponding end tube of the open circuit presented by the sole. 
   
   
       10 . A shoe according to  claim 6 , wherein the upper disc and the lower disc comprise respective axial surfaces acting as pins which can be housed in corresponding seats presented by the lower surface of upper and of sole in correspondence to said depression. 
   
   
       11 . A shoe according to  claim 1 , wherein the clockwise and anticlockwise rotation of reel determines the forward motion of said thread into the series of tubes and vice-versa its backward motion. 
   
   
       12 . A shoe according to  claim 1 , wherein said handling means for thread can be operated from the interior of the shoe. 
   
   
       13 . A shoe according to  claim 12 , wherein said handling means of thread comprise a reel on which thread can be wound, featuring said reel a portion which can be engaged by a tool so that it can be operated from the interior of the shoe. 
   
   
       14 . A shoe according to  claim 7 , wherein each of said throats is positioned at the height of a corresponding end tube of the open circuit presented by the sole. 
   
   
       15 . A shoe according to  claim 6 , wherein the clockwise and anticlockwise rotation of reel determines the forward motion of said thread into the series of tubes and vice-versa its backward motion.
