Sandal Having Releasable Strap Fastening

Abstract

A sandal having releasable strap fastening, comprising a sole, at least one strap and at least one clamping buckle and/or at least one anchor buckle. According to the invention, the sandal is modularly constructed and can be easily assembled and disassembled. The sole and the at least one strap are connected to each other by guiding the at least one strap through eyes provided in the sole. The two ends of the at least one strap, which form two strap ends, are either fastened to the strap again by means of at least one of the clamping buckles so as to form a loop or are anchored to one of the eyes by means of at least one of the anchor buckles.

Claims

1. A sandal having releasable strap fastening, comprising a sole (1), at least one strap (2) and at least one clamping buckle (4) and/or at least one anchor buckle (3), wherein the sandal is modularly constructed and can be easily assembled and disassembled, wherein the sole (1) and the at least one strap (2) are connected to each other by guiding the at least one strap (2) through eyes (5) provided in the sole (1), characterized in that the two ends of the at least one strap (2), which form two strap ends, are either fastened to the strap (2) by means of at least one of the clamping buckles (4) so as to form a loop or are anchored to one of the eyes (5) by means of at least one of the anchor buckles (3).

2. The sandal according to claim 1, wherein the at least one clamping buckle (4) and/or the at least one anchor buckle (3) is effective by force closure and can be opened manually after closing and detached from the strap (2).

3. The sandal according to claim 1, wherein the at least one clamping buckle (4) is configured to fix a turned-over end of the strap (2) back to the strap (2) so as to form a loop around one of the eyes (5) and thereby fix the strap (2) to the sole (1).

4. The sandal according to claim 3, wherein the at least one clamping buckle (4) is configured to be slidable in the open state and thus allows the shortening and lengthening of the used strap length in order to allow a flexible adaptation to the foot.

5. The sandal according to claim 1, wherein the at least one anchor buckle (3) is configured to be fastened to at least one strap end of the strap (2) to thus prevent the strap (2) from slipping through the eye (5) and thereby fix the strap (2) to the sole (1).

6. The sandal according to claim 1, wherein the at least one clamping buckle (4) and/or the at least one anchor buckle (3) are made of the same material and can be recycled in a varietally pure manner.

7. The sandal according to claim 1, wherein the eyes (5) integrated in the sole (1) are designed as an aperture, slit or formed loop.

8. The sandal according to claim 1, wherein the sole (1) consists of only one component and the cushioning property is realized by constructional cushioning by means of a 3D structure.

9. The sandal according to claim 1, wherein the sole (1) is made of two components connected to each other, wherein a softer component (6) both takes over the cushioning function under the sole of the foot and forms a footbed, and a harder component (7) at the edge of the sole (1) forms and/or reinforces the eyes (5) subjected to tensile stress.

10. The sandal according to claim 9, wherein the softer component (6) enables the cushioning property through a foamed structure.

11. The sandal according to claim 9, wherein the sole (1) is produced in a two-component injection molding process, wherein both components (6, 7) are formed from the same polymer and can thus also be recycled in the composite state.

12. The sandal according to claim 9, wherein the sole (1) is made of two components (6, 7) joined together by gluing, wherein the adhesive is biodegradable and wherein it is provided that both components can be separated from each other by a simple process and recycled individually.

13. The sandal according to claim 12, wherein at least one of the components (6, 7) consists of a biodegradable polymer.

14. The sandal according to claim 9, wherein the harder component (7), in addition to the formation of the eyes (5), is additionally formed at least partially as an undersole and thus additionally ensures abrasion resistance and puncture resistance.

15. The sandal according to claim 1, wherein the at least one strap (2) is made of biodegradable raw material in a varietally pure manner and is compostable.

16. A kit for a sandal according to claim 1, wherein the kit comprises a sole (1), at least one strap (2) and at least one clamping buckle (4) and/or at least one anchor buckle (3), which can be assembled and disassembled without tools, characterized in that the two ends of the at least one strap (2), which form two strap ends, can either be fastened to the strap (2) by means of at least one of the clamping buckles (4) so as to form a loop or can be anchored to one of the eyes (5) by means of at least one of the anchor buckles (3).

Description

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0012] Possible embodiment examples of the invention are explained using FIGS. 1, 2 and 3. In the figures:

[0013] FIG. 1: is a schematic perspective view of an embodiment of all individual components of the sandal;

[0014] FIG. 2: is a schematic perspective view of an embodiment of a fully assembled sandal; and

[0015] FIG. 3: is a side view of a fully assembled sandal in an embodiment with a two-component sole and the strap end fixation with one slidable clamping buckle each.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0016] FIG. 1 schematically shows an embodiment example of the sandal in which it is disassembled into its individual components, i.e. is available as a kit. Said kit comprises a sole 1 with the integrated eyes 5, a strap 2, a simple anchor buckle 3 and a clamping buckle 4 in an open state, which is shown in a version slidable on the strap 2.

[0017] FIG. 2 shows the same embodiment example in the assembled state. Here the strap 2 is guided through all eyes 5 and anchored at one end with the simple anchor buckle 3 to one of the eyes 5 and with the other end, after passing through another one of the eyes 5, turned over and fastened to the strap 2 with the slidable clamping buckle 4.

[0018] FIG. 3 shows a fully assembled embodiment example where the sole 1 consists of a softer component 6 for cushioning and shaping the footbed and a harder component 7, with the harder component 7 both forming the eyes 5 and shaping the undersole to provide abrasion and puncture resistance.
