DESCRIZIONE DESCRIPTION

Modello d'utilità Utility model

Dal titolo "Sistema di rilevazione esatta misura calzatura" Entitled "Exact shoe size detection system"

TESTO DELLA DESCRIZIONE TEXT OF THE DESCRIPTION

Una scarpa è corta quando l'alluce, il dito più lungo del piede tocca la tomaia nella punta della calzatura. L'alluce ha bisogno di almeno I cm di spazio per una corretta deambulazione. L'uso giornaliero di una scarpa corta causa varie conseguenze, come unghie incarnite e alluce valgo. A shoe is short when the big toe, the longest toe of the foot touches the upper in the toe of the shoe. The big toe needs at least 1 cm of space for proper walking. Daily use of a short shoe causes various consequences, such as ingrown toenails and hallux valgus.

Oggi, l'unico modo per vedere se una calzatura è della misura esatta, è quello di pigiare la tomaia in punta tentando di sentire al tatto l'alluce. E' un metodo poco funzionale, specialmente con i bambini. Today, the only way to see if a shoe is the exact size is to press the upper at the toe trying to feel the big toe. It is not a very functional method, especially with children.

II "sistema di rilevazione esatta misura calzatura", si basa su un ragionamento semplicissimo. Oggi, con nessuna calzatura è possibile verificare l'esattezza della misura al momento dell'acquisto. Spesso Le calzature acquistate si rivelano dopo poco tempo inutilizzabili perché corte. The "exact shoe size detection system" is based on a very simple reasoning. Today, with no shoe it is possible to verify the accuracy of the measurement at the time of purchase. Often the shoes purchased turn out to be unusable after a short time because they are short.

Specialmente i bambini risentono di questo problema per due motivi: Children especially suffer from this problem for two reasons:

1) Non sono in grado di dire al genitore al momento dell'acquisto se la scarpa è della misura esatta 1) I am unable to tell the parent at the time of purchase if the shoe is the correct size

2) Hanno una crescita molto rapida e quindi le scarpe diventano rapidamente piccole, senza che essi se ne rendano conto. 2) They grow very rapidly and therefore shoes quickly become small, without them realizing it.

A questo pone rimedio il "sistema di rilevazione esatta misura calzatura". Infatti, un sensore posto sull'apice anteriore del plantare, all'altezza dell'alluce, il dito più lungo del piede, una volta pigiato, accende un led posto sulla tallone, che illuminandosi rivela che la scarpa è piccola. This is remedied by the "exact shoe size detection system". In fact, a sensor placed on the anterior apex of the insole, at the height of the big toe, the longest toe of the foot, once pressed, turns on a led placed on the heel, which when illuminated reveals that the shoe is small.

Il sensore viene posto appena oltre la posizione che permette all'alluce, durante la deambulazione, un'escursione in avanti di circa 1 cm, e quindi in una posizione molto vicina alla tomaia della scarpa. Toccando il sensore, l'alluce si troverebbe nella zona "pericolo", con meno di 1 cm di spazio dalla tomaia, e il sensore pigiato segnalerebbe immediatamente, attraverso l'accensione del led che la scarpa è corta. The sensor is placed just beyond the position that allows the big toe, during walking, an excursion forward of about 1 cm, and therefore in a position very close to the shoe upper. By touching the sensor, the big toe would be in the "danger" area, with less than 1 cm of space from the upper, and the pressed sensor would immediately signal, through the lighting of the LED, that the shoe is short.

Nel disegno n. 1 è possibile vedere lo schema del sistema posto sopra 1 'intersuola. Il sensore, posto all'altezza dell'alluce funziona da interruttore. Una volta pigiato fa accendere il led collocato dietro il tallone. In drawing no. 1 it is possible to see the scheme of the system placed above the midsole. The sensor, placed at the height of the big toe, acts as a switch. Once pressed, it turns on the LED located behind the heel.

Il sistema funziona con una pila da tre volts e un semplicissimo led. Il disegno n.2 fa capire meglio il funzionamento tramite uno schema elettrico. Il sistema può essere applicato sia interamente all'interno del fondo, con la soletta che funziona da copertura, com'è possibile vedere dal disegno n. 3, sia con il sensore e i collegamenti applicati sotto la soletta, e la batteria ed il led all'interno del fondo come è possibile vedere dal disegno n. 4. Nel disegno 5 Vediamo lo spaccato della scarpa, nel disegno 6 lo stesso spaccato, ma con all'interno un piede. Si comprende meglio l'utilità del sistema che impedisce che il piede possa toccare la tomaia con i problemi che ne derivano The system works with a three volts battery and a very simple LED. The drawing n.2 gives a better understanding of the operation through an electrical diagram. The system can be applied either entirely inside the bottom, with the slab acting as a roof, as can be seen from drawing no. 3, both with the sensor and the connections applied under the insole, and the battery and the LED inside the base as you can see from drawing n. 4. In drawing 5 we see the cross-section of the shoe, in drawing 6 the same cross-section, but with a foot inside. The usefulness of the system that prevents the foot from touching the upper with the resulting problems is better understood
