Abstract
A shoe with a retractable heel in which the first members housing body, is cored by the second members threaded bolt, which is operated by a rotating motor attached in the first members cavity which turns a gear, which then rotates the threaded bolt and extracts and/or retracts the heels assembly when activated by the user's smart communication device.
Claims3
Shoe with a threaded bolt and retractable and extractable heel controlled by a Smart mobile communication device comprising:
- the first member attached beneath the heel of a shoe;
- a second member impaled below the first members central cavity using a bolt and thread mechanism;
- an electric motor placed vertically within the first members wall affixed with mechanical gear wheels near the bottom of member one;
- wherein the motor is triggered by electronic communication and an electronic charge and the rotating gears retract and extract the second members threaded cylindrical bolt to adjust the height within the heel, whereby the heel is lengthened or shortened;
- the second members threaded cylindrical bolt is capped with a mechanical gear wheel which is affixed to member one's rotating gears which then spins and slides along the threaded path vertically. Member two's screw bolt assembly replicates that of a typical helical ridge;
- its male thread is wrapped around a cylinder bolt designed to mate with the complementary female thread located in member one. The shanks then bonding members one and two respectively lengthening and shortening the heel.
3 more elements
A Smart communication device claim of 1 wherein the user manipulates the apparatus to connect to members one and two;
- which electronically transmits a signal that communicates to member one's motor to rotate clockwise or counterclockwise by receiving and analyzing said encoded electronic signal;
- then respectively lengthen and shorten the heel;
- wherein the member one is coupled to the Smart communication device via a Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, or Near-Field communication (NFC) signal.
