[0001] The present invention regards an overshoe for footwear particularly for fishing.
[0002] The innovation finds particular even if not exclusive application in the sport of
the fishing as an overshoe for boots and similar footwear.
[0003] In prior art footwear for fishing are well known in different types. Fishing boots
in different size and type with upper generally made in PVC associated to a semirigid
molded sole in conveniently semirigid rubber material are well known.
[0004] The principal drawback for such shoes or boots and more in particular of the respective
sole, is given by the poor adherence in the water beds covered with slipping slime
causing instability of the fisherman and his falling down in water. Naturally the
adherence of the sole furthermore decrease in the deep and impetuous river crossover.
A first solution provides to apply externally to the sole respective crampons, nails
and similar gripping means, which tight is acceptable on the gravelly ground but not
in river beds where slime and a lot of slipping stones in different sizes are present.
[0005] More recently one solution concerns a use of e PVC leotard in combination with a
special boot having the respective sole covered with felt stratum.
[0006] Such solution allows a relative improvement of the adherence, but the user is obliged
to use such a boot also in walking in different grounds, realizing a strong and rapid
consumption.
[0007] The glued felt stratum is further easy detachable from the sole being sticked on
smooth surface.
[0008] Scope of the present invention is that to obviate to the mentioned drawbacks.
[0009] This and other scopes are reached with the present invention as claimed solving the
exposed problems by means of an overshoe for footwear particularly for fishing comprising:
- coating means of at least the sole of the boot: said means realizing an external
shoe to wear the overshoe/boot;
- antislipping means applied like a moquette, inferiorly to said coating means with
soft fabric stratum in wool or other similar material.
[0010] In such a way we achieve different advantages:
[0011] Firstly the antislipping effect is more effective if compared to the well known felt
solution.
[0012] Secondly the invention being an overshoe, it is easily unwearable and can be used
only in the specific activity to walk in bed rivers.
[0013] An overshoe being further easily adaptable to different boots the PVC last ones included.
[0014] With this solution is possible to reduce drastically the wear and the relative costs.
[0015] These and other advantages will appear from the following description of the invention
in a preferred but not imitative solution with the accompanying drawings which particulars
of execution are not to be considered imitative but exemplificative solely.
Figure 1 represents a lateral schematic view of an overshoe with evidenced the sole
in its preferred form of realization.
Figure 2 represents a lateral schematic view of wearing of the overshoe of Figure
1.
[0016] The Figures disclose an overshoe (A) for footwear (5) particularly for fishing, essentially
composed as a shoe (1) of the type like sandalwood or Romanian "caliga" comprising
essentially: a rear part (a) that wrap the heel and the tibia, and a frontal part
(b) that wrap the foot with relative prod. The lateral part is completed with a plurality
of strips (6) having the respective ends holed (7) to lace up the overshoe (4) on
the boot (5). Be noted that the end of the strips (6) extends over the tongue (8)
comprising the prod which protracts until the upper opening of the overshoe (A) at
the neck level of the foot. The lower part of the overshoe (A) being the undersole
(B), provided with a first plastic rigid or semirigid stratum material and/or semens
(2) and a second soft stratum of wool fabric or similar material applied under the
sole in moquette shape (like a brush 3).
1. An overshoe for footwear/boot particularly for fishing, characterized by the fact
of comprising:
- a sole covered inferiorly with a stratum of
- antislipping means in the form of soft fabric understratum in wool or other similar
material.
2. An overshoe according to the claim 1., characterized in that the antislipping means
applied under the sole of the overshoe is moquette.
3. An overshoe according to claims 1. and 2., characterized in that the stratum of
antislipping means is realized and applied at its turn in a form of an interchangeable
oversole.
4. An overshoe according to the previous claims, characterized in that it includes
a rear part (a) that wrap the heel and the tibia, and a front part (b) that wrap the
foot realizing even relative prod and in which the lateral part includes a plurality
of strips (6) the respective end (7) being clasped by lacing means (4) said strips
(6) extending on a tongue (8) that realize the prod and protracts into the opening
of the overshoe (A) at the neck level of the foot.
5. An overshoe according to previous claims characterized in that the lower part of
the overshoe (A) includes a sole (B) obtained with a first rigid or semirigid plastic
material stratum (2) and a second and soft stratum of wool fabric or similar material
in a brush moquette shape (3).
