Abstract:
A press on shoe cover includes a bottom layer and at least one bistable spring band. The bottom layer is sized to cover at least a bottom of a shoe. The at least one bistable spring band is attached to the bottom layer. The at least one bistable spring band having a stable planar position and a bias coiling position. The stable planar position is configured to hold the bottom layer flat. The bias coiling position is configured to wrap the bottom layer around at least the bottom of the shoe. When the shoe cover lays flat on a surface and the bottom of the shoe is pressed down on the shoe cover, the bistable spring band is configured to move to the bias coiling position thereby wrapping the bottom layer around at least the bottom of the shoe and securing the shoe cover on the bottom of the shoe.

Claim (Index 17):
The step-on shoe cover of  claim 1  further comprising:\n a top layer, said top layer being sized to match the bottom layer, said top layer being attached to said bottom layer with said at least one bistable spring band positioned therebetween; \n wherein said top layer including a top surface configured for grip, comfort, or combinations thereof; and \n wherein said top layer and said bottom layer being sewn together via a pattern including pockets for each of the at least one bistable spring bands; and \n an elastic member positioned between the at least one bistable spring band and said top layer around the shoe cover in a channel approximate a perimeter created by the sewn pattern, wherein:\n when the at least one bistable spring band is in the stable planar position, said elastic member being configured to stretch to allow the shoe cover to lay substantially flat on a surface; \n when the shoe cover lays flat on the surface and the bottom of the shoe is pressed down on the shoe cover and the at least one bistable spring band moves to the bias coiling position, said elastic member being configured to constrict to wrap the perimeter of the shoe cover around at least the bottom of the shoe thereby securing the shoe cover on the bottom of the shoe; and \n when the at least one bistable spring band is in the bias coiling position where the bottom layer is wrapped around at least the bottom of the shoe and the shoe cover is secured on the bottom of the shoe, said elastic member being configured to stretch to allow the at least one bistable spring band to be unrolled and straightened out into the stable planar position thereby unwrapping the bottom layer from at least the bottom of the shoe.
