Abstract
A modular shoe covering system which serves as a cover for a shoe body to improve the selection for shoe appearance while enhancing the durability of the shoe. The invention provides for a multi-functional and multi-appearance shoe.
Claims
exact text as granted — not AI-modifiedWhat is claimed is new and desired to be protected by Letters Patent is set forth in the appended claims:
1 . A modular shoe cover system comprising:
a shoe cover assembly comprising;
a shoe body having;
a sole;
an outside surface;
an inside surface;
a heel;
a seat;
a rail; and
a plurality of first-fasteners;
a shoe cover comprising;
a cover-body;
a retainer strip comprising a rail receiver; and
a plurality of second-fasteners;
wherein said modular shoe cover system comprises said shoe cover assembly; wherein said shoe cover assembly comprises said shoe body and said shoe cover comprise in functional combination; wherein said shoe body is structurally defined by said sole, said outside surface, said inside surface, said heel, said seat, said rail, and said plurality of first-fasteners; wherein said shoe cover is structurally defined by said cover-body, said rail receiver, said retainer strip, and said plurality of second-fasteners; wherein said shoe cover is able to be removably coupleable to said shoe body via fastening said plurality of first-fasteners to said plurality of second-fasteners; wherein said rail and said rail receiver in combination allow for an advantage coupling of said shoe cover to said shoe body to cause said shoe cover to tightly adhere to said shoe body to maintain a taunt condition in a reliable manner; and wherein said modular shoe cover system is structured and arranged such that a user-wearer is able to readily interchangably modify an appearance of shoe(s) according to a preference of said user-wearer.
2 . The modular shoe cover system of claim 1 wherein said advantage coupling comprises said rail and said rail receiver in combination along with said plurality of first-fasteners and said plurality of second-fasteners to allow said shoe cover to hug-adjacent said shoe body such that surface contact is fully enabled between said shoe cover and said outside surface of said shoe body.
3 . The modular shoe cover system of claim 2 wherein said plurality of first-fasteners and said plurality of second-fasteners are located on said inside surface of said shoe body.
4 . The modular shoe cover system of claim 3 wherein said plurality of first-fasteners and said plurality of second-fasteners are located on said inside surface of said shoe body such that a double-coupling is achieved via an overlap of said shoe cover over said shoe body over said outside surface and said inside surface.
5 . The modular shoe cover system of claim 4 wherein said outside surface and said inside surface are used as friction surfaces to maximize surface area contact with said shoe cover.
6 . The modular shoe cover system of claim 5 wherein said shoe body acts in a capacity of a fulcrum to minimize sheer stress imparted on said plurality of first-fasteners and said plurality of second-fasteners.
7 . The modular shoe cover system of claim 6 wherein said fulcrum maximizes tautness via providing a counterforce against a combination of attached said plurality of first-fasteners and said plurality of second-fasteners.
8 . The modular shoe cover system of claim 6 wherein said fulcrum maximizes tautness via providing a counterforce against said rail and said rail receiver in combination.
9 . The modular shoe cover system of claim 6 wherein said fulcrum provides an apex overwhich said cover-body is able to be stretched.
10 . The modular shoe cover system of claim 1 wherein said rail removably attaches to said rail receiver.
11 . The modular shoe cover system of claim 1 wherein said rail receiver is removably couplable from said rail.
12 . The modular shoe cover system of claim 8 wherein said rail and rail receiver in combination provide leverage to enable said tautness.
13 . The modular shoe cover system of claim 1 wherein said rail receiver overlaps said rail.
14 . The modular shoe cover system of claim 1 wherein said rail and rail receiver are in continuous contact along their respective lengths.
15 . The modular shoe cover system of claim 1 wherein said rail comprises a male-profile fastening means.
16 . The modular shoe cover system of claim 1 wherein said rail comprises a female-profile fastening means.
17 . A modular shoe cover system comprising:
a shoe cover assembly comprising;
a shoe body having;
a sole;
an outside surface;
an inside surface;
a heel;
a seat;
a rail; and
a plurality of first-fasteners;
a shoe cover comprising;
a cover-body;
a retainer strip comprising a rail receiver; and
a plurality of second-fasteners;
wherein said modular shoe cover system comprises said shoe cover assembly; wherein said shoe cover assembly comprises said shoe body and said shoe cover comprises in functional combination; wherein said shoe body is structurally defined by said sole, said outside surface, said inside surface, said heel, said seat, said rail, and said plurality of first-fasteners; wherein said shoe cover is structurally defined by said cover-body, said rail receiver, said retainer strip, and said plurality of second-fasteners; wherein said shoe cover is able to be removably coupleable to said shoe body via fastening said plurality of first-fasteners to said plurality of second-fasteners; wherein said rail and said rail receiver in combination allow for an advantage coupling of said shoe cover to said shoe body to cause said shoe cover to tightly adhere to said shoe body to maintain a taunt condition in a reliable manner; wherein said advantage coupling comprises said rail and said rail receiver in combination along with said plurality of first-fasteners and said plurality of second-fasteners to allow said shoe cover to hug-adjacent said shoe body such that surface contact is fully enabled between said shoe cover and said outside surface of said shoe body; wherein said rail removably attaches to said rail receiver; wherein said rail receiver is removably couplable from said rail; wherein said rail receiver overlaps said rail; wherein said rail and rail receiver are in continuous contact along their respective lengths; wherein said plurality of first-fasteners and said plurality of second-fasteners are located on said inside surface of said shoe body; wherein said plurality of first-fasteners and said plurality of second-fasteners are located on said inside surface of said shoe body such that a double-coupling is achieved via an overlap of said shoe cover over said shoe body over said outside surface and said inside surface; wherein said outside surface and said inside surface are used as friction surfaces to maximize surface area contact; wherein said fulcrum maximizes tautness via providing a counterforce against a combination of attached said plurality of first-fasteners and said plurality of second-fasteners; wherein said fulcrum maximizes tautness via providing a counterforce against said rail and said rail receiver in combination; wherein said fulcrum provides an apex overwhich said cover-body is able to be stretched; and wherein said modular shoe cover system is structured and arranged such that a user-wearer is able to readily interchangably modify an appearance of shoe(s) according to a preference of said user-wearer.
18 . The modular shoe cover system of claim 17 further comprising a kit including:
said shoe cover assembly comprising said shoe body and a plurality of said shoe cover(s); and
a set of user-instructions.
19 . A method of using a modular shoe cover system comprising the steps of:
attaching a shoe cover assembly to a shoe body wearing the combination of shoe cover assembly and shoe body, and removing the combination of shoe cover assembly and shoe body.Join the waitlist — get patent alerts
