Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a studded sports shoe and in particular a golf shoe.
  • Known golf shoes have studs protruding under the outsole and intended to penetrate the "green" of the golf course to allow the player to stabilize his support on the ground so that the shot can be delivered with extreme precision , knowing that in a fixed position and during the throw, the feet of the player cling to the ground from the inside to the outside for one and vice versa for the other and must not slip. It is therefore necessary that the studs are securely attached to the shoe and have the most suitable penetration power for the "green".
  • Document DE-A-2313646 describes a sports shoe having retractable pencils against the action of an elastic member.
  • the present invention aims to remedy these drawbacks without the player having to take off his shoes or equip his shoes with special protections.
  • the invention applies retractable studs against the action of at least one elastic member.
  • the elastic member (s) of all the studs are tared to yield to the push of the foot on hard ground and resist the reaction of a relatively soft ground such as the "green" of a golf course and, in the areas where the retractable studs are arranged, protrusions, such as mini-studs, bars or the like, are formed under the outsole to at least the level reached by the studs in the fully retracted position.
  • each retractable clamp has a base threaded mounted through the outsole, fixed to it and delimiting a housing through which intervenes at least one elastic member, the threaded base cooperating with a threaded plug having a screw collar accessible from the outside and constituting a guide in translation for the crampon proper which is provided, opposite its head, with a projecting foot located in the aforementioned housing and bearing on the elastic member or bodies considered.
  • the threaded base is blind so that the housing is closed and contains the elastic member or parts, each elastic member being an elastomer part which can be either a part of revolution having a cruciform section, a ball, a preferably cylindrical pellet, a cylindrical, frustoconical tube, in diabolo focused on the crampon, and / or a spring which can be indifferently a frustoconical helical wire, a frustoconical washer, a star washer ...
  • the threaded and open base to open opposite a foam midsole forming the above-mentioned elastic member; the elastic foam of the midsole can form a stud penetrating into the housing, an axially movable plate being preferably interposed between the stud and the foot of the stud to divide the pressure applied by the latter.
  • FIG. 1 is a plan view showing from below an embodiment of the sole of a golf shoe according to the invention
  • FIG. 2 is a side elevation taken along line II-II of FIG. 1,
  • FIG. 3 is a section taken on a larger scale along the line III-III of FIG. 1 and illustrating a first embodiment of a retractable crampon
  • FIGS. 4 to 7 are views similar to FIG. 3 showing variants
  • FIG. 8 is a section similar to that of FIG. 3, illustrating a second embodiment of the retractable crampon
  • Figures 9 and 10 are views similar to Figure 8 showing variants.
  • the outsole 1 of the golf shoe is equipped, on the periphery of the forefoot 2, with five retractable cleats 3 and, on the periphery of the heel 4 of four retractable crampons 3.
  • This sole projecting between the crampons 3 of the forefoot, protrusions 5 and between the crampons 3 of the heel, protrusions 6.
  • the protrusions 5 are frustoconical mini-crampons and the protrusions 6, relatively elongated pyramidal bars.
  • an extended protuberance 7 is formed projecting which, in the example shown, is a wavy surface.
  • the height of the protrusions 5, 6 and 7 corresponds to at least that of the studs 3 when they are fully retracted; in addition, the number, the shape and the distribution of said protrusions are determined so that the shoes are suitable for walking on various relatively hard terrains, the retracted crampons being at the same level as the protrusions, and support normally the wear that may result.
  • FIG. 3 illustrates a first particular embodiment of one of these retractable studs 3.
  • This crampon comprises a base 8 having a tapped tubular skirt 9 integral with a bottom 10 which is extended towards the periphery by a support and anchoring element 11 situated on the side of the inner face of the sole 1.
  • this element is an annular crown provided with claws 12 intended to penetrate into the outsole 1; but it is obvious that the element 11 can be constituted differently, in particular by a spider or the like so that its maintenance can be obtained by overmolding.
  • the crampon 3 also includes a threaded plug 13 capable of cooperating with the threaded skirt 9 of the base 8, this plug having a protruding screw flange 14 provided with holes 15 for taking a claw wrench.
  • the plug 13 is screwed by means of the latter into the base 8, the flange 14 is applied against the external surface of the sole 1, while the anchoring element 11 is situated against the internal surface or in the mass of said sole.
  • the plug 13 delimits a bore 16 for the precise guiding in translation of a cylindrical body 17 of the stud itself 18.
  • This body 17 projects from the plug so that its frustoconical end head 19 can prick itself into the ground.
  • the body 17 has a prominent foot 20 located in a housing 21 delimited in the base 8 between its bottom 10 and the opposite end 22 of the plug 13.
  • the foot 20 is an end piece having a bearing shoulder 23 abutting, when the clamp 18 is in a completely projecting position, against the end 22 of the plug.
  • the foot 20 of this spike has a frustoconical bearing 24 intended to come into abutment against a conjugate frustoconical seat 25 of the plug 13.
  • the housing 21 contains an independent elastic member designated by the general reference 26 ( Figures 3 to 7).
  • the elastic members of the retractable crampons of the same shoe are tared:
  • the elastic member 26 is made of an elastomeric material (rubber, polyurethane, ethylene vinyl acetate, etc.) of appropriate density, a material which, depending on the shape to be obtained, is molded, cut or other.
  • elastomeric material rubber, polyurethane, ethylene vinyl acetate, etc.
  • Figure 3 shows that the elastic member 26 is a part of revolution 27 having a cruciform section so that it bears against the bottom 10 and the foot 20 by annular surfaces ending with flattenable suction cups.
  • Figure 4 shows that this member is a cylindrical tube 28 or frustoconical 29 which may or may not be filled with foam.
  • FIG. 5 shows that said member is a tube shaped as a diabolo 30 which may or may not also be filled with foam, the annular section of this diabolo preferably increasing from the narrowed medium towards the enlarged ends.
  • FIG. 6 shows that the elastic member is a ball 31 or a cylindrical tablet 32.
  • the housing 21 measures, when the spike 18 protrudes, a height of 4 mm for a diameter of 8 mm, the travel of the spike is 3mm and the height of the housing when the spike is retracted is 1mm.
  • the ball 31 ( Figure 6) must have a diameter of 4.6 mm; the cylindrical tube 28 ( Figure 4) must have an outside diameter of 6 mm, an inside diameter of 4.7 mm and a height of 4.5 mm.
  • the elastic member 26 is a preferably metallic spring. It consists of a stack of frustoconical washers 33 known under the name of "Belleville" washers; but it is obvious that the spring can be of another type and for example constituted by at least one star washer, at least one frustoconical or other helical wire.
  • FIGS. 8 and 9 illustrate a second embodiment of one of the retractable studs 3 mounted in the sole 1, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2.
  • the foot 20 of the spike 18 may be located substantially in the same plane as the protruding element 11 of the base 8. This arrangement is shown in phantom in Figure 8; it increases the guide length of the clamp 18 in the plug 13.
  • the midsole 35 has a stud 38 coming from molding projecting lower to enter the housing 21 of the base 8, this stud constituting until the first mounting 36 the elastic member 37 above.
  • a plate 39 axially movable in the housing 21 of the base 8, is interposed between the aforementioned foot 20 and the foam of the midsole 35 or of the corresponding stud 37 , this foam forming the above-mentioned elastic member 37; the surface of this plate is greater than that of the foot 20.
  • FIG. 10 illustrates a third embodiment of one of the retractable studs 3 mounted in the sole 1, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2.
  • the retractable clamp 3 of this third embodiment is similar to that of the second shown in Figure 9 and therefore its constituent bodies are designated by the same references.
  • the elastic member 40 which acts on the crampon 18.
  • the elastic member 40 is the combination of the elastic members 26 and 37.
  • the plate 39 separates then the foam of the midsole 35 (or of a nipple 38), of the stack of "Belleville” washers 33 (or of any of the other elastic members 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32) disposed in the housing 21 against the foot 20 of the stud 18.
  • the mounting retractable studs 3 is very easy and adapts to all manufacturing methods currently in practice. Some examples are given in the following.
  • positioning holes for the retractable studs are provided during the molding of the outsole 1.
  • the shoe is mounted by fixing the upper on the first and this assembly on the outsole 1.
  • the sole assembly thus formed is pierced to unblock the aforementioned holes inside the shoe.
  • the bases 8 are fitted from the inside into the holes in the sole assembly and the elastic members 26 are deposited in the housings 21 of these bases, while the plugs 13 fitted with studs 18 are screwed from the outside of the sole of wear 1 in said bases, then locked by means of a claw wrench to compress said elastic members.
  • the outsole 1, after molding, is fitted with retractable studs while at another station, the upper is mounted on the first. Then simply weld the outsole fitted with studs under the assembly formed by the upper and the first.
  • the anchoring elements 11 can take place in countersinks of the outsole so that they are flush with the inner surface of the latter and do not form extra thicknesses under the first.
  • the bases 8 of the studs are placed in a mold and the material constituting the sole 1 is injected therein, which has the effect of overmolding said bases.
  • the sole thus obtained is then welded as in the previous example.
  • the injection molding it may be advantageous for the injection molding to be carried out directly on the upper.
  • the shape of the element 11 of the bases can be different to promote anchoring; thus, element 11 can be shaped like a Maltese cross.
  • the base can take the form of a coil whose skirt 9 is integral, not only with an upper element 11, but also with a lower element 41, elements which, instead of being circular, can be polygonal.
  • the sole 1 is manufactured, as in the second and third examples, to form a body with the threaded bases 8. This sole is then welded to the upper by techniques of placing a micro-cellular material . Therefore, the upper and its first are connected to the outsole 1 via a foam midsole 35, constituting the elastic members.
