[Technical field to which the device belongs]

 The present invention relates to improvement of a sole protection member of a golf shoe, and more particularly, to a side opposite to a tip outer peripheral edge portion hanging from a tip end of the shoe sole to an outer peripheral side edge due to weight shift during golf swing, and a side opposite to the arch. The present invention relates to a sole protection member in a golf shoe for protecting the outer edge of the golf ball.

[Prior art]

 Conventionally, a plurality of spikes are arranged and attached to the bottom of the sole of golf shoes other than spikeless shoes. And, for example, the arrangement is to create a wall on the inside of the right foot on the backswing (when hitting to the right) and on the outside of the left foot on the impact at the time of swing impact, and to support the weight shift at the time of swing. Therefore, a symmetrical spike array is generally used. And this spike array is made in the same way for both flat and heel soles.

Regarding this symmetrical arrangement, there are differences in the weight shift during swing, the load applied to the shoe at that time, the usage of the left and right feet, and the way of applying impact, and therefore the left and right structures of the shoe. It is conceivable that the shoes have different functions such as changing the shoes or changing the arrangement, but if the functionality of the shoes is pursued only to be useful for the swing, it is appropriate for the swing, but there is a problem in walking.

That is, golf is a sport in which the user spends more time walking than when swinging, and therefore shoes need to have a balance between stability of swing and ease of walking. Considering these points, the current situation is that each manufacturer has a similar spike array.

In consideration of the above points, for example, in the case of a right-handed player, particularly, the relatively hard ground of the driving range, the toe of the right foot of the golf shoe, and the part from the tip to the inside are rubbed against the floor surface. As a result, the tip of the toe of the shoe sole wears due to friction with the ground.To prevent this from occurring, for example, as disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 48-108850 and Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 59-13854. There has been proposed a golf shoe in which a shoe or shoe sole protective member called a protector made of metal or hard synthetic resin is attached to the periphery of the tip of the toe of the shoe sole. Also, as shown in No. 6-56511, the maximum protrusion is provided to the side of the outer edge of the shoe sole (the part opposite to the arch) behind the bending line of the toe that occurs during the swing, and the maximum protrusion. There is also provided a golf shoe in which the outer edge of the shoe sole is protected by friction with the floor surface (ground) generated by swinging by covering the shoe with a reinforcing member. This outer edge protection member (generally referred to as the side edge protector) is the sole of the left foot golf shoe, which is the axial foot on the ground, as the golf swing shifts from the follow-through to the finish after impact. On the other hand, when rolling with a weight shift to the left, the outer edge of the shoe sole in the finish state is pressed against the ground to prevent rubbing, especially the maximum protrusion to the side of the outer edge. This is because

In addition, as disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 57-159704 and Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 2-453, for example, the internal pressure and inclination of the insteps of the left and right shoes during the golf swing, the contact state with the ground, etc. In consideration of these problems, the former device was devised so that they could be effectively dealt with to prevent damage due to deformation and scratches.In addition, an external heel counter mounted on a golf shoe is used for golf swings, especially at impact. The outer side of the heel, which is the part where the load is applied most, is structured so that it can be centrally supported by a fixing plate, and the golfer's axial leg efficiently supports lateral rollout in the outward direction with an external heel counter. The latter device has been provided.

[0007]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 However, the sole protection member for protecting the toes, the tip peripheral edge portion, and the outer edge of the sole opposite to the arch side of the conventional golf shoe sole as described above is used in the golf swing in the course or practice field. Due to a series of movements for weight transfer such as impact and follow-through, the scratches and abrasions on the part of the sole protection member that comes into contact with the ground are severe, especially in practice areas where the contact surface is a hard rubber or synthetic resin mat. Was pointed out.

[0008]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 This invention adopts the following technical means in order to overcome and improve the above defects.

That is, the present invention is directed to a toe of a golf shoe sole, a tip peripheral edge protector for protecting the tip peripheral edge portion, and an outer peripheral edge protector for protecting an outer peripheral edge of the sole opposite to the arch side. The outer surface of the bent corner that is in contact with the ground is fixed with a reinforcing member having a chevron cross section.

[Embodiment of device]

 An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

In FIG. 1, a pair of golf shoes has a sole S1 and a sole S2, a tip edge protection protector 1 for protecting the tip outer periphery of the toe tip of the golf shoe sole S1 according to the present invention, and the arch side of the sole S2. The outer peripheral protection protector 2 for protecting the opposite outer peripheral edge is viewed from the bottom surface attached to the pair of right-handed soles S1 and S2.

The tip edge protection protector 1 includes a base plate 13 which covers the tip end portion of the toe of the sole S1, and a portion which is bent from the base plate 13 and is connected from the side edge toe tip portion of the sole S1 to the toe inner portion. The folded side plate 14 to be covered and a bent piece 15 bent from the tip of the folded side plate 14 in the arch direction of the sole S1 and bent at a right angle to the folded side plate 14 have a cross section. It is constructed integrally in a groove shape.

Then, in the base plate 13, an elongated spike mounting hole 18 having a long diameter in the direction along the periphery of the sole so that it can be fitted into the spike screwing hole 17 of the spike 16 arranged in the sole of the golf shoe. , 18 are drilled. In other words, the spike screw holes of the spikes that are arranged and screwed on the golf shoe sole have slightly different arrangement positions depending on each manufacturer. The holes 18 are formed in a slender shape in the direction along the periphery of the sole, and when the spikes 16 are screwed in, the base plate 13 can be slightly moved and fixed depending on the arrangement position.

Reference numeral 101 denotes a reinforcing member having a chevron cross section fixed to the outer side surface of the bent corner portion of the base plate 13 and the folding side plate 14 of the tip peripheral protection protector 1, and in the figure, is riveted with a tack 102. However, the fixing means may be screwing by screwing, bonding with an adhesive containing a synthetic resin such as an epoxide resin or a phenol resin as a main component, fixing with silver, or silver. Means such as hard brazing with a hard solder such as wax, gold solder, and silver solder can be used.

As for the material of the reinforcing member 101 having the chevron cross-section, new metals such as metallic titanium, titanium alloy, beryllium and beryllium alloy, metallic materials such as stainless steel, zinc, iron, aluminum, aluminum alloy, and the like, and It is made of a structural material such as a plastic material such as FRP, FRTP, or nylon.

Next, details of the outer peripheral edge protector 2 for protecting the outer side edge of the sole S2 opposite to the arch side will be described.

This outer peripheral edge protector 2 is also formed in a grooved cross-section having the same structure as the tip peripheral edge protector 1, and as shown in the drawing, the outer peripheral edge part of the sole S2 is opposite to the arch side. The base plate 23 to be covered and the outer peripheral edge of the sole S2 that folds up from the base plate 23 and is opposite to the arch side, where the load is most applied to the ground at the time of the finish of the swing, and the part is worn or scraped off. It is formed of a folded side plate 24 and a bent piece 25 bent at a right angle to the folded side plate 24, and is integrally configured in a groove shape in cross section. Further, the base plate 23 is provided with an elongated spike mounting hole 28 having a long diameter in the direction along the periphery of the sole so that the spike mounting hole 17 of the spike 16 arranged on the sole of the golf shoe can be fitted. It is set up.

Therefore, similar to the spike mounting hole 18, when the spikes 19 are screwed, the base plate 23 can be fixed without being limited to the spike arrangement different from each manufacturer.

Reference numeral 201 denotes a reinforcing member having a chevron cross section fixed to the outer side surfaces of the corners of the base plate 23 and the folding side plate 24 of the outer peripheral edge protection protector 2. In the figure, a rivet 202 is used to rivet the rivet. Although the example of fixing by the tightening means is shown, the fixing means is not limited to this means, but can be fixed by the above-mentioned fixing means of the reinforcing member 101 having a chevron cross section to the tip peripheral protection protector 1. Further, the constituent material thereof can be the same as that of the reinforcing member 101 having the chevron cross section. Incidentally, reference numeral 3 in the figure indicates the body of the golf shoe.
