Definitions

  • the present specification relates to an application for a patent of invention concerning a new arrangement for regulating multidirectional movements of the studs incorporated in sports footwear, particularly sports footwear used in football, rugby, etc., the obvious purpose of which is to place the studs themselves in suitable points of the sole of the footwear in such a way that as a result thereof an adaptation of same is achieved to the characteristics of the sportsman and to the conditions of the ground where the competition takes place.
  • This invention is applicable within the industry devoted to the manufacturing of sports footwear.
  • Those studs are located on the sole of the footwear according to a general location criterion, and particularly in very special cases they are located in a specific way in accordance with the physical features of the sportsman himself.
  • reinforcing areas have been provided on the underside of the sole, in which they are driven, screwed or adjusted, and once the studs have been located and fixed, they cannot be mobilized in a simplified manner.
  • the new arrangement for regulating multidirectional movements of the studs incorporated in sports footwear as proposed by the invention constitutes an obvious innovation in itself within their application field, since the use of this new arrangement will allow the users of this type of footwear to be able to locate the studs of their footwear in a proper form consistent with their needs or particularities, both multidirectionally and unidirectionally.
  • the new arrangement for regulating multidirectional movements of the studs incorporated in sports footwear which is the subject matter of the invention consists in using a female part having a quadrangular shape, as seen in a plan view, made of a metallic material, which is provided in the central area of one of its major faces with an internally hollow emergent projection in the manner of a hollow cylinder.
  • Such female part will emerge from the lower side of the footwear, and once the same is held in a circular part, as seen in a plan view, provided with a central quadrangular opening, it will allow a stud provided with a threaded or non-threaded cylindrical protuberance to be set in place, whereby - on account of the mobilization caused by the body of the female part in the central opening of the holding part - it is made possible for the located studs to be positioned at a proper angularity consistent with the desired features, spaced apart in a greater or smaller extent or as considered convenient in accordance with the created possibilities due to the central opening of the holding part that enables a multidirectional mobility of the studs.
  • the invention also allows the female part itself to be located on the sole and, with the aid of two complementary side parts, to regulate the forward or backward movements of the stud itself, which will emerge from the underside of the footwear and will be assisted in locating and fixing it by means of the holding part which, in both cases provided with an emergent bolt and an upper surface substantially broader than the area of adaptation to the ground, vill prevent the mobility of the stud once the same has been adjusted on fixing it to the surface of the sole.
  • the invention also allows the stud to be implemented on fixing it with an upper part located on the female part and its complementary side parts, and a lower part located on the interface with the footwear sole, provided with a central bore through which the rod of the female part will come out and will enable the corresponding screwing of the stud itself, the latter being able to optionally be formed without the emergent bolt and use a central bore in its upper portion with a greater diameter in which the rod of the female part will be screwed.
  • a multidirectionally acting part can be placed in the slots existing on the footwear sole, the consequence thereof being that the stud can be provided with a lateral and angular mobility instead of a bidirectional mobility as in the previous case.
  • the invention can be provided - in cooperation with the plan circular part having a rectangular opening - with an outer part attached to the surface of the footwear sole which has a cross-like slit, whereby it is made possible for the stud located on the central area to be oriented both forwardly and backwardly, or else rightwardly and letfwardly.
  • the invention is further implemented, if desired, by incorporating a plan circular part in the fixing area on the footwear, said part being provided with a central bore through which the upper rod of the stud enters, whereby the connection of all parts forming the connection area is consequently stiffened.
  • the invention allows the footwear sole to be provided with multidirectionally or bidirectionally fixing areas, which can be either all of them multidirectional or all of them bidirectional.
  • Figura 1 shows a perspective view of the different parts forming the first embodiment of the invention relating to a new arrangement for regulating multidirectional movements of the studs incorporated in sports footwear.
  • Figure 3 shows a perspective view of the different parts harmoniously cooperating in order to achieve the bidirectional mobilization of the studs, this embodiment being able to be implemented with the cooperation of the part shown in figure 1, whereby the invention can be potentiated in a multidirectional sense by making use of the slit line or opening where the female part is inserted.
  • Figure 4 shows a third embodiment of the invention, similar to that represented in figure 1, but substantially implemented with additional parts.
  • Figure 5 shows a plan view of a footwear sole having multidirectionally acting parts.
  • Figure 6 shows a plan view of a sole in which the semi-curved openings are provided, that enable the incorporation of the studs and the new arrangement in a bidirectional sense.
  • Figure 7 shows a perspective view of the way of fixing a bidirectional part inside the footwear sole.
  • Figure 8 shows a plan view of a sole of sports footwear in which the parts forming the bidirectionally acting studs have been incorporated.
  • Figure 9 shows a side elevation view of the object represented in figure 8.
  • Figure 10 shows a view along A-B of the object represented in figure 8.
  • Figure 11 shows a view along C-D of the object represented in figure 8.
  • Figure 12 finally shows a plan view of a footwear sole in which studs have been incorporated, offering the possibility of acting in a multidirectional sense.
  • the new arrangement for regulating multidirectional movements of the studs incorporated in sports footwear consists of a metal part 4 having a plan rectangular shape, from which - namely from one of its major faces - an internally threaded or non-threaded, hollow cylindrical projection 3 emerges, which is adapted to enable the attachment of a bolt 2 stemming from the upper face of a stud 1 usable in sports footwear.
  • figure 1 it is seen how the above described two parts are complemented with a part 5 which is circular in a plan view and has in its central area a quadrangular opening 5' adapted to enable the mobilization of the bolt 3 inside the opening 5', the female part 4 being held on the upper portion of the part 5 and the stud 1 being located inside the cylindrical projection 3 in accordance with the previous location of the female part 4 inside the opening 5'.
  • the upper area of the stud 1 holds the footwear sole on the underside thereof and is consequently inmobilized.
  • the stud 1 along with its threaded bolt 2' is incorporated inside the protuberance or cylindrical projection 3 of the female part 4, the action of the female part 4 being assisted or complemented by means of two side parts 6 and 6' which allow the stud to be mobilized when the same is located on the footwear sole.
  • this second embodiment is implemented in accordance with the presence of a longitudinal opening 8' found in a reinforcemente 8 of the footwear sole, said opening forming on the upper side a recess inside which the female part 4 is inserted with the cylindrical rod 3 emerging, the female part being held or supported on the upper side by means of the two complementary fixing parts 6 and 6' acting as stops on sliding, while on the underside a part 9 is provided, which has a central bore 9' serving as an element that immobilizes the stud 1' and - in cooperation with the rod 2 - is engaged into the cylinder 3, whereby the elements shaped as the female part 4 and the stud 1' are suitably fixed, said part 9 having the function of keeping the anchorage clean and being preferably made of nylon.
  • a circular part 12 is located, preferably made of nylon and provided with a central bore 12', whereby the threaded bolt 2' originated from the stud 1 can consequently be incorporated inside the cylindrical body 3 and in this way the whole set of parts is suitably positioned.
  • the part 11 is incorporated in the sole 20 of the footwear as shown in figure 5, but said sole 20 can also incorporate, as shown in figure 6, the embodiment formed by the parts 8 provided with their corresponding longitudinal openings 8' through which the rods 3 will emerge, and consequently it will allow the studs 1 to be located bidirectionally.
