Security footwear

Abstract

An article of security footwear includes electronic devices that protect the wearer and those about him by sounding an alarm, emitting an electronic signal, or activating a light source in the event the shoe contains an unauthorized or dangerous article. The shoe is of use when passing through a security pass point. The security shoe can also be provided with electronic communicating and or electronic locator devices with their attendant accessories i.e. power, activating devices, transmitter, antenna, etc. which can be activated by the user or a remote third party.

1 . An article of footwear adapted for purposes of security comprising
 a substantially not transparent sole,   a substantially non transparent shoe upper,   one or more light sources mounted to said footwear that can be seen exteriorly of said footwear,   an antenna mounted to said footwear,   to a power source mounted to said foot wear,   a microprocessor mounted to said footwear,   whereby said one or more light sources are activated by a security scanning device when said security scanning device detects a metal object.   
     
     
         2 . An article of footwear adapted to be worn by a wearer for purposes of security comprising:
 a substantially not transparent sole,   a substantially non transparent shoe upper,   one or more light sources mounted to said footwear that can be seen exteriorly of said footwear,   an antenna mounted to said footwear,   a power source mounted to said foot wear,   a microprocessor mounted to said footwear,   whereby said one or more light sources are activated by a remote radio frequency device to signal the wearer.   
     
     
         3 . An article of footwear adapted to be worn by a wearer for purposes of security comprising:
 a substantially not transparent sole,   a substantially non transparent shoe upper,   an audible alarm mounted to said footwear that can be heard exteriorly of said footwear,   an antenna mounted to said footwear,   a power source mounted to said foot wear,   a microprocessor mounted to said footwear,   whereby said audible alarm is activated by a remote radio frequency device.   
     
     
         4 . An article of footwear adapted to be worn by a wearer for purposes of security comprising:
 a substantially not transparent sole,   a substantially non transparent shoe upper,   a location identification means mounted to said footwear that can be received by a remote microprocessor,   an antenna mounted to said footwear,   a power source mounted to said foot wear,   a microprocessor mounted to said footwear,   whereby said location identification means is activated by a remote radio frequency device.   
     
     
         5 . An article of footwear adapted to be worn by a wearer for purposes of security comprising:
 a substantially not transparent sole,   a substantially non transparent shoe upper,   a communication means mounted to said footwear that can be received by a remote microprocessor,   an antenna mounted to said footwear,   to a power source mounted to said foot wear,   a microprocessor mounted to said footwear,   whereby said communication means is activated by a remote radio frequency device.   
     
     
         6 . The security footwear of  claim 5  including a microphone electronically connected to said communication means, said microphone being adapted to transmit a communication to a remote location by radio frequency means.
