Description FABRICATED HEEL USING MAGNET

Technical Field

[1] The present invention relates to fabricated shoes, and more particularly to a fabricated heel which allows a sole to be readily put on a bottom of a heel and various accessories to be conveniently attached through a plurality of sleeves according to a user's preference, so that time and costs taken in resoling shoes can be reduced and a user's aesthetic preference can be satisfied using the diverse acessories. Background Art

[2] In a conventional heel, a supporting bar provided in a sole is inserted in a supprting- bar hole formed at the center of the heel, and an adhesive is used for semipermanent coupling between the heel and the sole. The conventional coupling has a problem of damaging the heel since a user should excessively force the sole to be separated from the heel by a hammer, a nipper or the like when the shoes need soling. Further, it takes much time and costs to sole the shoes because a user has to go back to the shoe store where he/she bought his/her shoes or visit a shoe repair shop.

[3] To solve the above problems, there has been proposed an "ASSEMBLY TYPE

HEEL OF WOMAN SHOES" in Korean Utility Model Application No. 20-2006-0012346, in which the supporter 12 is installed on the bottom of the heel 8 and the sleeve 16 with an accessory is coupled to the supporter 12 before the heel 8 is adhered to the sole in the conventional manner. However, this case has problems in that not only a tool such as the hammer, the nipper or the like is still used for separating the sole from the shoes when needing to exchange the sleeve having the accessory, but also it takes much time and costs since the heel itself should be exchanged to install the supporter. Disclosure of Invention Technical Problem

[4] Without using the conventional coupling between a heel 100 and a sole 400 based on the insertion of the supporting bar and the adhesive, the present invention allows a user to coveniently and simply use a sole according to his/her preference and purpose.

[5] Further, instead of the foregoing structure where the supporter is installed on the bottom of the heel so as to exchange the sleeve, the present invention provides a structure that allows a user to easily exchange the accessories as desired without largely changing the structure of the heel. Technical Solution

[6] To solve the above problems, an aspect of the present invention is achieved by

providing a fabricated heel using a magnet, including: a heel 100 which has a cylindrical shape provided on a bottom at a posterior end of shoes, and includes a supporting and coupling hole 110 with a predetermined depth at the center thereof, and a first seating part 120 shaped like an annular groove on the bottom of the supporting and coupling hole 110; a first magnet coupling unit 200 which is inserted in and seated on the first seating part 120 of the heel 100 and includes an annular magnet formed with a straight opening 210 in a radial direction; a second magnet coupling unit 300 which is connected to the first magnet coupling unit 200 by a magnetic force and includes a supporting and coupling plate 310 of a plate-shaped magnet and a supporting and coupling bar 320 having a first end coupled integrally with and perpendicularly to the center of the supporting and coupling plate 310 and a second end passing through the first magnet coupling unit 200 and inserted in the supporting and coupling hole 110 of the heel body; and a sole 400 which includes a second seating part 410 recessed on a top thereof to accommodate the supporting and coupling plate 310, and an anti-slipping concave-convex pattern 420 formed on a bottom thereof.

[7] The fabricated heel may further include a coupling protrusion part 330 fitted to the opening 210 of the first magnet coupling unit 200, and extended perpendicularly to the top of the supporting and coupling plate 310 while having one side coupled to the supporting and coupling bar 320.

[8] The fabricated heel may further include at least one magnetic force strengthening unit 500 of an annular magnet, which is provided with an opening 510 radially formed and interposed between the first magnet coupling unit 200 and the second magnet coupling unit 300.

[9] The supporting and coupling bar 320 of the second magnet coupling unit 300 includes a magnet to enhance the coupling.

[10] The fabricated heel may further include a decoration part 600 which accommodates the magnetic force strengthening unit 500 therein and is fitted to an outer circumference of the heel 100 from a downside through the supporting and coupling bar 320, the decoration part 600 including a magnetic-force strenthening unit seating part 610 of an annular plate corresponding to the size of the magnetic force strengthening unit 500; a pair of symmetrical wall-shaped sleeves 620 thinly and perpendicularly extended from the magnetic-force strengthening unit seating part 610 along an outer circumference of the magnetic-force strengthening unit seating part 610; and an accessory mounting part 630 formed on an outer circumference of the sleeve 620.

Advantageous Effects

[11] As described above, the heel 100 and the sole 400 are coupled by the magnetic coupling between the first magnet coupling unit 200 and the second magnet coupling

unit 300, so that a user can conveniently exchange the sole 400, thereby satisfying a user's various preferences and minimizing time and costs taken in exchanging the sole 400. Further, the magnetic coupling between the first magnet coupling unit 200 and a magenetic force strengthening unit 500 allows a user to easily exchange a sleeve 620 having the accessory mounting part 630. Also, the sleeve 620 is formed in a circumferential direction of the existing heel 100, so that a user can conveniently exchange the sleeve 620 without changing the shape of the existing heel 100.

Best Mode for Carrying Out the Invention

[17] Below, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to accompanying drawings.

[18] Fig. 1 is an exploded perspective view of a fabricated heel according to an embodiment of the present invention, and Fig. 2 is a sectional view of the fabricated heel according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[19] Referring to Figs. 1 and 2, a heel 100 is formed with a supporting and coupling hole

110 at the center thereof, which has the same diameter as a supporting and coupling bar 320 while having a predetermined depth. Further, the heel 100 is formed with a first seating part 120 shaped like an annular groove on the bottom thereof with respect to the supprting and coupling hole 110. To the first seating part 120, a first magent unit 200 is coupled. The first magnet coupling unit 200 is achieved by an annular magnet and has a straight opening 210 in a radial direction. At this time, the annular magnet is achieved by boring a polygonal plate according to the shape of the heel 100 so as to have the same diameter as the supporting and coupling hole 110.

[20] Fig. 4 is an exploded perspective view of a sole according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[21] Referring to Figs. 1 and 4, a second seating part 410 is formed on the top of a sole

400, and a second magnet coupling unit 300 is provided to be inserted and seated in the second seating part 410. Further, the sole 400 is formed with an anti-slipping concave-

convex pattern 420 on the bottom thereof.

[22] In more detail, the second magnet coupling unit 300 includes a supporing and coupling plate 310 made of a plate- shaped magnet, and the supporting and coupling bar 320 is shaped like a bar and formed in one side of the supporting and coupling plate 310. Also, the supporting and coupling bar 320 and the supporting and coupling plate 310 are formed with a coupling protrusion part 330 at one side.

[23] The second magnet coupling unit 300 is connected to the first magnet coupling unit

200 inserted in a lower part of the heel 100 by a magnetic force, so that the heel 100 and the sole 400 can be coupled to each other. At this time, the supporting and coupling bar 320 is inserted in and coupled to the supporting and coupling hole 110 formed at the center of the sole 100 so that an additional magnetic force can be generated, thereby reinforcing the coupling between the heel 100 and the sole 400. Also, the coupling protrusion part 330 is coupled to the opening 210 of the first magnet coupling unit 200 and prevents the sole from separation due to its rotation.

[24] Fig. 3 is an exploded perspective view of a decoration part according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[25] Referring to Figs. 1 and 3, a magnetic force strengthening unit 500 is formed between the first magnet coupling unit 200 and the second magnet coupling unit 300. The magnetic force strengthening unit 500 is shaped like an annular plate formed with a straight opening in an radial direction. Further, two or more sleeves 620 stand symmetrically along an outer circumference of an annular plate formed with a magnetic- force strengthening unit seating part 610 having the same diameter as the outer diameter of the magnetic force strengthening unit 500, and the sleeve 620 includes an accessory mounting part 630 on the circumference thereof, thereby forming a decoration part 600.

[26] Specifically, the two or more sleeves 620 are formed like walls along the outer circumference of the annular plate, and the accessory mounting part 630 is formed on the circumference of the sleeve 620. At this time, the accessory mounting part 630 may be formed by directly patterning the circumference of the sleeve 620 or wear an accessory.

[27] The magnetic force strengthening unit 500 is characterized in that the straight opening 510 is radially formed in the annular plate.

[28] Here, the decoration part 600 accommodates the magnetic force strengthening unit

500 and the supporting and coupling bar 320 in the magnetic-force strengthening unit seating part 610.

[29] The magnetic force strengthening unit 500 is interposed between the first magnet coupling unit 200 and the second magnet coupling unit 300 through a magnetic force, so that the decoration part 600 can be fitted to the outer circumference of the heel 100.

Further, the coupling protrusion part 330 of the second magnet coupling unit 300 is coupled to the opening 510 of the magnetic force strengthening unit 500 and thus prevents the decoration part 600 from rotation.

[30] Accordingly, in the fabricated heel according to an embodiment of the present invention, the heel 100 and the sole 400 are coupled by the magnetic force based on the first magnet coupling unit 200 and the second magnet coupling unit 300, so that a user can easily exchange the sole 400 and the heel 100 and the sole 400 can be more firmly coupled by the magnetic coupling between the supporting and coupling bar 320 and the supporting and coupling hole 110. Further, the magnetic force strengthening unit 500 is attached to the first magnet coupling unit 200 and the second magnet coupling unit 300 by the magnetic force, so that a user can conveniently exchange the decoration part 600, thereby readily wearing various accessories. Also, the coupling protrusion part 330 of the second magnet coupling unit 300 is inserted in both the openings 210 and 510 of the first magnet coupling unit 200 and the magnetic force strengthening unit 500 and prevents the sole 400 and the decoration part 600 from rotation, so that the sole 400 and the decoration part 600 can be stably used.

[31] Fig. 5 is a perspective view of a conventional fabricated heel. In the conventional fabricated heel for woman, the supporter 12 is first installed under the sole 8 and the sleeve 16 with the accessory is then coupled to the supporter 12, so that the heel and the sole are coupled in the conventional manner.
