Description
- This application is a divisional of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 11/168,228, filed Jun. 28, 2005, entitled , which claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 60/583,372, filed Jun. 28, 2004, entitled .
- The present invention relates to a sock with an inward turned decorative top that folds over the top of a boot to provide a decorative look.
- During the last several years, high fashion dress boots have become quite popular. Unfortunately, high quality boots are very expensive and people are often limited to owning one pair. In turn, one pair of boots only gives the owner a single style, limiting the flexibility of the boots and the ability to wear them frequently with various fashion outfits.
- It would be desirable to have the ability to change the look or style of a pair of fashion boots in a simple, cost effective way. In one attempt, a boot cover was used to cover the entire leg of the boot. Although this does change the appearance of the boot, it also adds substantial cost (as the covers were typically made of leather) and may not be compatible with all types of dress boots. Others have attempted to provide decorative socks, using sock covers but these would not be useful for designer boots. Finally, others have attempted to combine socks with boot usage but only to prevent the sock from falling down. Specifically, a stay-up cuff is integrated into the top of the leg portion of the sock and includes an outwardly turned welt which covers the upper edge of a hiking boot to prevent the entry of dirt, snow, etc, into the boot. Although this may be a beneficial design, the sock does not provide any decorative or stylish features to be used with high fashion dress boots.
- Accordingly, an apparatus is desired having the aforementioned advantages and solving and/or making improvements on the aforementioned disadvantages.
- A first aspect of the present invention is to provide a tube comprising a foldable decorative tubular portion comprising an inward turned portion and an outward turned portion. The outward turned portion includes an ornamental design thereon.
- Another aspect of the present invention is to provide a tube comprising a foldable decorative tubular portion comprising an inward turned portion and an outward turned portion. A decoration extends from the outward turned portion of the inward turned welt.
- Yet another aspect of the present invention is to provide a method of decorating a boot comprising providing a tube comprising a first section and a second section, with the second section having a decoration integrally attached to an end thereof. The method also includes pulling the boot over the first section of the tube, folding the second section over a top edge of the boot and exposing the decoration.
- These and other aspects, objects, and features of the present invention will be understood and appreciated by those skilled in the art upon studying the following specification, claims, and appended drawings.

FIG. 1 . However, it is to be understood that the invention may assume various alternative orientations and step sequences, except where expressly specified to the contrary. It is also to be understood that the specific devices and processes illustrated in the attached drawings and described in the following specification are simply exemplary embodiments of the inventive concepts defined in the appended claims. Hence, specific dimensions and other physical characteristics relating to the embodiments disclosed herein are not to be considered as limiting, unless the claims expressly state otherwise. - The reference number 10 (
FIG. 1 ) generally designates a clothing tube embodying the present invention. In the illustrated example, theclothing tube 10 comprises asock 10′ that can be made of a variety of materials, including Nylon, Tactel Nylon, Micro Nylon, Microdenier Nylon, Micro Fiber, Spandex, Lycra, Lycra Spandex, Polyester, Cotton, Acetate, Rayon, Viscose, or Chenille. Thesock 10′ includes afoot portion 12 and aleg portion 14, with thefoot portion 12 attached to one end of theleg portion 14. A foldable decorativetubular portion 16 is integrally attached to theleg portion 14 of thesock 10′ at an end opposite to thefoot portion 12. The foldable decorativetubular portion 16 is at least partially made of a material that is partially elastic, including Nylon, Tactel Nylon, Micro Nylon, Microdenier Nylon, Micro Fiber, Spandex, Lycra, Lycra Spandex, Polyester, Cotton, Acetate, Rayon, Viscose, or Chenniel. The foldable decorativetubular portion 16 can also be at least partially made of the same material used in thefoot portion 12 andleg portion 14. Further, the foldable decorativetubular portion 16 can include anornamental design 17 thereon. Theornamental design 17 can comprise a design made on the foldable decorativetubular portion 16 that is viewable when atop section 34 of the foldable decorativetubular portion 16 is turned outward (seeFIG. 2 ) and/or at least onedecoration 20 attached to at least atop edge 18 of the foldable decorativetubular portion 16. The at least onedecoration 20 can include a variety of decorations know to those skilled in the art, including fur, beads, lace, bangles, feathers, stones, rhinestones or any other decoration. Theornamental design 17 can also comprise an image printed on the foldable decorativetubular portion 16, have the material of the foldable decorativetubular portion 16 made into a design or decorations connected to the foldable decorative tubular portion 16 (e.g., fur, beads, lace, bangles, feathers, stones, rhinestones or any other decoration). - In the illustrated example, the foldable decorative
tubular portion 16 is attached toleg portion 14 such that when thetop section 34 of the foldable decorativetubular portion 16 is folded outward (turned over or cuffed), theornamental design 17 and/or the at least onedecoration 20 are outward facing, allowing others to view theornamental design 17 and/or the at least one decoration 20 (seeFIG. 2 ). - The illustrated
sock 10′ of the present invention can be used with a typical boot 22 (FIG. 3 ). Usually, the design ofboot 22 is fixed and not changeable. This can limit the usability of theboot 22 and limit its ability to match or be worn with other fashionable outfits. - However, the
sock 10′ can be worn in combination with theboot 22 as illustrated inFIG. 4 to allow theboot 22 to be worn with other fashionable outfits. In order to use thesock 10′ with theboot 22, thesock 10′ is positioned on a foot/leg of a person. Thereafter, theboot 22 is pulled over thefoot portion 12 and theleg portion 14 of thesock 10′. Theboot 22 may also be pulled over alower section 32 of the foldable decorativetubular portion 16. Thetop section 34 of the foldable decorativetubular portion 16 is then folded over (turned outward or cuffed) over atop edge 24 of theboot 22. - In the illustrated example, the elastic nature of the materials used in the foldable decorative
tubular portion 16 allow thesock 10′ to fit tightly over thetop edge 24 of theboot 22, thereby holding the foldable decorativetubular portion 16 in place, preventing the foldable decorativetubular portion 16 from slipping off, and allowing the foldable decorativetubular portion 16 to fit over various sizes ofboots 22. By folding over the foldable decorativetubular portion 16, theornamental design 17 of the foldable decorativetubular portion 16 and the at least onedecoration 20 are exposed and visible. This gives boot 22 a different look, allowing a single boot design to take on different looks and feels depending on the design and decoration ofsock 10′. For example, as illustrated inFIGS. 2 and 4 , the at least onedecoration 20 includes beads. However, as stated previously, it is contemplated that many other decorations could be used alone or in combination. Furthermore, the size, length and width of the at least onedecoration 20 as well as the size and length of the foldable decorativetubular portion 16 can be varied to further provide different appearances (covering more or less of the boot 22). By owning several different styles of thesock 10′, one could have several different looks with a single pair offashion boots 22, which provides a simple, cost effective way to change looks. - The
reference numeral 10 a(FIG. 5 ) generally designates another embodiment of the present invention, having a second embodiment of the tube. Since thetube 10 a is similar to the previously describedtube 10, similar parts appearing inFIGS. 1-4 andFIG. 5 , respectively, are represented by the same, corresponding reference number, except for the suffix “a” in the numerals of the latter. The tube of the second embodiment of the present invention comprises theleg portion 14 a and the foldable decorativetubular portion 16 a. Thetube 10 a is essentially asock 10′ without the foot portion 12 (similar to a leg warmer). Thetube 10 a has theleg portion 14 a, with one end of theleg portion 14 a being open ended (instead of having thefoot portion 12 as in thesock 10′ described above). Furthermore, the opposite end of theleg portion 14 a is integrally connected to the foldable decorativetubular portion 16 a. The foldable decorativetubular portion 16 a functions in the same manner as explained above, providing the same ornamental features when turned outward or cuffed. Accordingly, thetube 10 a functions in the same manner as thesock 10′, but without afoot portion 12 and potentially ashorter leg portion 14 a. The length of theleg portion 14 a can vary depending on the wants and needs of the user. For example, if warmth is desired, theleg portion 14 a could essentially be the same length as theleg portion 14 of thesock 10′ of the first embodiment of the present invention. However, theleg portion 14 a could also be very short, basically serving as an anchor for the foldable decorativetubular portion 16 to anchor thetube 10 a to the leg of the user. - The
reference numeral 10 b (FIG. 6 ) generally designates another embodiment of the present invention, having a third embodiment for the tube. Since thetube 10 b is similar to the previously describedsock 10′, similar parts appearing inFIGS. 1-4 andFIG. 6 , respectively, are represented by the same, corresponding reference number, except for the suffix “b” in the numerals of the latter. Thetube 10 b is essentially just the foldable decorativetubular portion 16 b , without thefoot portion 12 or theleg portion 16 of thesock 10′ . Thetube 10 b includes the foldable decorativetubular portion 16 b as described above in the first embodiment of the present invention. When thetop section 34 b of the foldable decorativetubular portion 16 b of thetube 10 b is folded over (turned outward or cuffed), theornamental design 17 b and/or the at least onedecoration 20 b are exposed. Thetube 10 b is designed to fit over the top edge 24 b of the boot 22 b and provide the same decorative features as explained above. Thetube 10 b is preferably at least partially elastic such that thebottom section 32 of the foldable decorativetubular portion 16 b can either fit snuggly to the leg of the user or when a portion of thetube 10 b is turned outward, thebottom section 32 andtop section 34 of thetube 10 b fit tightly around the top edge 24 b of the boot 22 b. - It is to be understood that variations and modifications can be made on the aforementioned structure without departing from the concepts of the present invention. For example, it is contemplated that the
tube 10 could be placed over an arm or a leg or a person. Furthermore, it is to be understood that such concepts are intended to be covered by the following claims unless these claims by their language expressly state otherwise.
