PROTECTIVE CAP FOR INDUSTRIAL FOOTWEAR.

摘要

The present invention refers to a monolithic cap for safety footwear, which forms a concave-shaped frame including a front wall with lateral walls connected to each side portion thereof and which upper edge portions are attached together by a concave-shaped surface following the shoe last shape. The inventive cap has a particular area located on the flap edge portion thereof useful for housing a comfort stripe, which provides comfort and improves the footwear appearance. The design of the present invention resists impact tests of from about 101.7 Joules to 146.7 Joules (10.40 kgf-m to 14.95 kgf-m) and compression tests of from about 11130 Newton to about 14710 Newton (1135 kgf-m to about 1500 kgf-m), thus leaving a free height of from about 11.0 mm to about 14.0 mm in the whole finished shoe and not only over the cap tip.
