Abstract
A safety walking device for hard slippery surfaces, said device will find use particularly in the winter, example; freezing rain, icy side walks, also ideal for off road walking, said device including sole with a flexible portion, which further joined a front and a back base, the bottom perimeter of said base is equipped with rigid link spikes, which further interlocks for safety when not in use, the upper perimeter equipped with safety link barriers to prevent slipping and twisting, straps are attached unto the safety burners for the donning process, in another method, a strapless system can be used, example; a machanical locking system. The safety ice walking device is convenient, safe, sturdy and capable of preventing many accidents onto slippery surfaces.
Description
SAFETY ICE WALHING l~E'~CE
05 Field of the Invention This invention relates to the field of safety walking device for slippery surfaces, and in particularly to a device which allows a person to safely walk in treacherous winter conditions onto side walks such as; freezing rain and build up ice, also suitable fox off road use.
Back ground of the invention Many devices such as; "trade mark" Ice spider, Crampon and others are useful in extreme weather conditions such as; ice and snow. Ice spider for example; cleats or spikes attached to flexible base on shoe or partial shoe which are useful in thick build up ice, how ever these flexible base are not 1 S suitable on thin ice with solid under layers such as; freezing rain or thin ice onto side walks or parking lots, because such flexible base can easily twist which could trip a person resulting in injury. Crampon are also useful for off road purposes, the donning process is done vn top of said device, using straps to secure a shoe in place with-out any solid safety barrier, and having a 2t7 high centres of gravity crampons are not safe, a person can easily slip off said device, because there is no arm barrier to prevent slipping or twisting that could result in injury.
I have found that these disadvantages can be over come with this new invention, by providing a safety ice walking device, capable of walking safely 2S on thin ice onto side walks, and other slippery areas, also thick build up ice off road, said device including rigid "V" shaped link spikes formed onto the bottom perimeter for more traction and stability, interlocking spikes for safe concealment when not is use, solid safely linked barrier onto the upper perimeter to prevent slipping and twisting, flexible instep position, and 3d conveniently positioned straps for quick and easy donning and to undo. in another method there is a strapless device.
Summary of the invention The ice walking safety device of the present invention provides many advantages, example; in dangerous icy conditions a person can wear 35 their usual shoe or boot, which are both easily adoptable to fit inside the safety device to pmvide maximum traction, the "V" shaped spikes are linked around the perimeter of the bottom, having many rigid link spikes the device is firm and stable and further durable, said spikes on a pair of device further OS interlocking to maintain uniformity and safety when not in use, the safety device provides a safety barrier to prevent a person from slipping. The safety device can use a strap and a strapless system for a quick and safe donning process.
Numerous other advantages will become apparent to those skilled in the art when the following drawings are view along with the detailed description.
In drawings which illustrate embodiments of the invention.
Figure I is a perspective view of a safety walkhlg device, which embodied the invention. Figure 2 is a perspective view of figure I attached to a boot.
Figure 3 is a perspective view of a base which forms the structure of figure 1.
Figure 4 is a perspective bottom 'view of a sole secured to some spacers. Figure 5 is a partial perspective view of a mechanical locking system. Figure 6 is a perspective view of a strapless safety ice walking device, and Figure 7 is a perspective view of a pair of safety ice walking device with their spikes interlocked for safety when not in use.
The safety device illustrated including a sturdy base 13,14, Figure 3, constructed from rigid material, example; a fiat piece of metal, iron, aluminium or can also be moulded from other materials. The base Figure 3 including a front portion I3 and a back portion 14, both joined together by a flexible portion 5 of the sole 2. The base 13,14, further including at least three levels; A ground level that formed the spikes 3. A middle level used to mount the sale 2, and an upper level used for the safety barrier 9. The ground level or the bottom of the base 13,14, eduipped with rigid "V" shaped linked spikes 3, formed from said base 13,14, material. The link spikes are formed onto one side of said base material, holes 12 are formed in the centre of said material close to the endings to mount the sole. the material bent into it's shape, front porkion 13, and back portion 1~. The spikes 3 are easily re-sharpenable, the linked "V" shape spikes 3 provides more traction and stability, and further allows easily interlocking with a pair of said device to provide uniformity and safety when not in use. The middle level of said base 13,14, have holes 12 to mount the sole 2. The sole Figure 4 is welded onto round tube spacers IO horizontally across the bottom of the sole 2, bolts 9.
inserted through the base from the outer portion from one side, and further inserted through the round tube spacers 10, said round tube spacers 10 provide a set distance in order to maintain the shape of the sole 2. The sole OS have a flexible portion S which allows flexibility when walking. The upper level or the safety barrier 9 enclosed the sole Figure l, the safety barrier 9 further formed from said rigid base I3, l4,material. The safety barrier prevents a person from slipping from the device, and further supports attachments from straps and mechanical locking system. The strap 6 attached onto the back portion 14, secured at two opposite sides through hales 11, the upper portion of said strap uses a looping configuration, strap 6 inserted through buckle 15 and looped to sticking material 17, said material have a male and a female position, the strap can be locked by fusing both together, A tear off position 7 allows easily lock and un-locking. The strap 8 uses a cross over locking style using the same buckle 15 and sticking material with tear off position 7. Another method for donning is a strapless system Figure 6,7, rotating knob 22 installed onto one side of the device onto the safety barrier 9, said knob 22 firmly connected to screws 23 which further connected to a lock 21, the screws 23 are secured onto the lock 21 within a chamber which allows the screws to rotates in either direction with out dis-attachment or change of positioning. Whenever the knob 22 rotates in a direction, the screws 23 advances within threaded chambers, which is secured onto the safety barrier, said screws pushes the lock 21 forward, this action tightened a shoe against the inside of the safety barrier, by turning the knob 22 in an opposite direction the screws retracts and release the lock.
Although the present invention has been shown and describes with respect to it's preferred embodiments, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that other changes; modification, additions and omissions may be made without departing from the substance and scope of the present invention as defined by the following claims.
