SKID-RESISTANCE ANTI-STATIC SHOE COVER

摘要

A shoe cover for wearing over a shoe includes an upper shell, a bottom sole, and an anti-static strip, with the upper shell and the sole are attached together to form an internal space for housing the covered shoe, with the sole made of a skid-resistant material to promote enhanced traction for the wearer, and with the anti-static strip attached to the shoe cover to promote contact with the walked-upon surface to prevent static electricity build up and shocks. In example embodiments, the static strip is attached to the shoe cover along a central longitudinal portion of the sole or along a side longitudinal seam joining the upper shell and the sole together.

主权项

1. A shoe cover for wearing over a shoe of a wearer, comprising:
an upper shell with an ankle opening through which the wearer's shoe can be inserted to don the shoe cover; a bottom sole made of a skid-resistant material and attached to the upper shell to form a peripheral seam and to define an internal space housing the covered shoe; and at least one anti-static strip made of a conductive material, having a free portion extending from the shoe cover with a length selected to permit it to be tucked into the shoe or a sock of the wearer, and having an attached portion that is attached to the shoe cover and has at least an exposed portion thereof positioned adjacent the sole so that it contacts a surface walked upon by the wearer,wherein the skid-resistant material of the sole provides for enhanced traction to reduce slipping by the wearer, and the anti-static strip provides a conductive pathway to reduce static electricity build up and electric shocks to the wearer.
