This invention relates decorating shoes and making decorative shoes.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTIONThere are several theories of decorating shoes, but all of which teach away from the current invention. U.S. Pat. No. 6,874,256 issued to Grant Verdun Delgatty describes a method for changing a design of a shoe by removing a vamp, applying a new design to the vamp and then reattaching the vamp. The vamp is aligned with a hook and loop fastener, but it is mechanically coupled to the shoe primarily by a zipper. Assuming the device worked, the difficulties with zippers on shoes are that the zipper can be easily fouled further the Delgatty reference teaches only a partial shoe cover, where the current invention teaches a complete shoe cover.
U.S. Pat. App. No. U.S. 2006/0143951 A1 by Wu-Bin Yang describes a series of decals that can be mechanically coupled to a shoe by an adhesive. The usage of the adhesive teaches away from the present invention which utilizes a hook and loop fastener.
U.S. Pat. App. No. 2010/0289971 A1 by David Odland describes a shoe that contains a flexible LCD monitor that can display computer generated images. Here, the LCD monitor is built into the shoe and teaches away from the removable cover in the present invention.
BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTIONA shoe with a replaceable decorative cover comprises a shoe mechanically coupled to a loop fastener where the loop fastener is mechanically coupled to a hook fastener. A decorative cover is mechanically coupled to the hook fastener, and the decorative cover comprises a top side and a bottom side.
Having thus described the invention in general terms, reference will now be made to the accompanying drawings, which are not necessarily drawn to scale, and wherein:
Embodiments of the present invention overcome many of the obstacles associated with applying a temporary cover to a shoe, and now will be described more fully hereinafter with reference to the accompanying drawings that show some, but not all embodiments of the claimed inventions. Indeed, the invention may be embodied in many different forms and should not be construed as limited to the embodiments set forth herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided so that this disclosure will satisfy applicable legal requirements. Like numbers refer to like elements throughout.
