Abstract

Footwear attachment for walking on slippery roads has a strap with spikes in the lower part and a fastener to attach this plate to the footwear. The lower piece of the attachment with spikes or other spurs in the its lower part is located under the sole all along the sole or a little more, it has upper clamps for attaching to it the lower fastening element only and preventing slipping of toe or heel parts of the footwear sole as well as openings or slits in heel part of lower piece for passing through them connective element.

Description

The nozzle (or nozzles, if there are two) for walking on slippery paths is intended for convenient walking on surfaces (paths, paths, paths, etc.) covered with ice or compacted snow and reducing the likelihood of injury during such walking, and also allows /-they/ allow a person to enter the premises with her/them, without deforming the surfaces of the floors, coverings, etc. in these premises; and also for walking on wet, slippery clay and other surfaces...

It is known how much trouble slippery paths covered with ice or compacted snow cause to people. This is the inconvenience of walking and the possibility of injuries from falls...

In cities, such paths and tracks are sprinkled with a granular mixture (to increase the adhesion of the surface of the soles of shoes and the surface of paths and paths, paths ...). This provides a reliable but temporary solution to the problem, because when new snow falls and is pressed by the soles of people's shoes and the wheels of vehicles, the surfaces of paths, paths, and tracks become slippery again. Or, for example, the ice melted, the granular mixture settled at the bottom of puddles; the frost "struck" again, and again the surfaces of paths and paths became slippery...

You can wear special shoes, for example, climbers' shoes - with spikes on the outer surfaces of the soles.

Under the influence of a person's weight, the spikes are pressed into ice or compacted snow, the adhesion of surfaces increases, and sliding decreases. However, if you enter a store, home, office or other premises in such shoes, the sharp spikes on the outer surfaces of the soles can also press the surfaces of floors, coatings and other things in these premises, which is very undesirable. And walking in such shoes, for example, on marble or very smooth and hard stairs or surfaces, is less comfortable than walking in ordinary shoes.

Thus, when walking in ordinary shoes in the cold season, a person very much depends on whether or not the paths and paths are sprinkled with granular mixture at the time of his walking. When walking in "special" shoes with 3 spikes on the outer surfaces of the soles, a person is less dependent on whether or not the slippery paths and tracks are sprinkled with a granular mixture, but it is not advisable to enter the room in such shoes (because the spikes can damage the surfaces of floors and coverings ) and sometimes not very convenient.

Therefore, the proposed useful model is based on the following tasks: 1) To ensure comfortable walking on surfaces (paths, paths, etc.) covered with ice or compacted snow and to reduce the probability of injury during such walking, and at the same time: 2) to provide a person with the opportunity to enter the premises ( houses, shops, offices, etc.), without deforming the surfaces of the floors and coverings in these premises.

In order to solve these problems, it is suggested to use Shoe Attachments for walking on slippery paths", each of which consists of:

Lower attachment 1 (Fig. 1);

Upper extensions 2;

Connecting element 3;

Fixing elements - Lower 4 and Upper 5, with the help of which the Attachment for shoes for walking on slippery paths is attached to the shoes themselves 6.

Let's compare the scheme from V. Aleksandrov's article "Shoe Spike" (see "Nikopol city newspaper "Reporter" Me12 dated February 11, 2003) (copies of the article are attached) and consider such a scheme in Figure 2 (Figure 2).

This design has one metal plate (Appendix) with spikes in its lower part 2 for pushing them into the ice when a person walks on the ice. In the upper part, this plate has brackets. With fasteners or straps 4 to connect to them, with the help of which this entire attachment is connected to the person's shoes 5.

When a person walks on ice, the metal plate 1 is located approximately under the sock part of the sole of the person's shoes, and in this design, its other location is impossible.

When a person moves his feet parallel to the walking line 6, i.e. moves approximately as an experienced skier might do when moving along a straight line, everything should be fine. But as soon as a person, having accidentally slipped, turns on the ice around his "vertical axis", the toe part of the foot is locked with the participation of spikes pushed into the ice or compacted snow, while the heel at the same time continues to slide on the ice or the same as pressed snow. If this happens suddenly, the heel can begin to slide very quickly, and the forces acting on the side edges of the upper protrusions (bracket) 7 on a small area of the outer surfaces of the foot can be large enough, which, in addition to discomfort when walking, can lead to foot injuries a person (even to fractures or other injuries of the bones of the middle part of the foot). But also the effort on the ankle joints is considerable.

The lower attachment of my proposed shoe attachment for walking on slippery paths has lower protrusions 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15 (Fig. 1) and when walking on ice or compacted snow is placed under the sole of a person's shoes along the entire sole or several more.

When walking on ice or compacted snow under the influence of a person's weight, the lower protrusions of the lower attachment are pushed into the ice or compacted snow, which allows a person not to slip while walking, making this walking more comfortable and reducing the likelihood of injuries (which sometimes occur when walking on slippery surfaces).

The lower attachment also has upper protrusions (brackets): 16, 17.

At the same time, the upper protrusions of the lower attachment of the shoe nozzle ... serve to prevent the lateral sliding of the toe part of the shoe sole relative to the shoe nozzle ... and, at the same time, to connect the parts

Lower fastening element 18 to the lower attachment Attachments for shoes...

And the upper protrusions of the Lower attachment 17 serve to prevent lateral sliding of the heel part of the sole of the shoe relative to the Attachment on the shoe...

The upper attachment of the attachment for shoes... 2 in its upper part has brackets 19 for attaching parts of the upper attachment 20, or its sections, to them. Slots or holes are provided in the lower part of the Upper attachment, through which (or through which) the Connecting element 3 is passed, which ensures a strong and, if necessary, movable relative to its axis connection of the Lower 1 and Upper 2 attachments of the shoe attachment. between themselves.

When walking on ice or compacted snow, the upper attachment of the Shoe attachment... is placed higher

The lower attachment 1, behind the heel part of the shoe 21 and also prevents the slip of the shoe attachment... relative to the shoe itself in axial directions, while the function of the upper fastening is performed by the upper fastening element 5, which is located when a person walks on ice or compacted snow in a joint position above the area of the rise of the foot of a person's shoes.

The lower fastening element holds the sock part of the shoe and can be detachable or non-detachable.

Therefore, if the Upper fixing element 5 and the Lower fixing element 4 are in the connected positions above the shoes, then the Attachment for shoes for walking on slippery paths is securely held on the shoes and is able to perform its proper functions, can be used to solve the previously set problems.

To completely remove the Shoe Attachment ... from the shoe itself, it is enough to disconnect the "Upper Fixing Element 5, turn the Upper Attachment 2 down (arrow - 22) and, pushing the Shoe Attachment ... forward, along the sole of the shoe, remove the Lower Fixing element 4 from coupling with shoes.

In order to re-attach the shoe attachment for walking on slippery paths to the shoe itself, it is sufficient to perform the previously indicated actions in reverse order: Bring the lower fastening element to engage with the sock part of the shoe (arrow - 23); turn the upper attachment up (arrow - 24); bring the Upper fastening element 5 to the connected position.

For partial removal of the attachment for shoes ..., i.e. for the case when only the lower attachment does not take the position required when walking on ice or compacted snow, it is enough to: disconnect the lower fastening element 4; lifting the leg, turn the Lower attachment approximately two hundred and seventy degrees ("x270") relative to the axis of the connecting element (arrow - 25); fix the Lower attachment behind the Upper attachment using the Lower fixing element or another way.

Thus, the Attachment on the shoe ... will be fixed on the shoe behind the heel part of the shoe in its assembled form.

To bring the Attachment to the shoes ... in the position for walking on ice or compacted snow, it is enough to: detach the Lower Attachment from the Upper Attachment; turn the lower attachment in the opposite direction of arrow 25 until it touches the sole of the shoe; fasten the lower fastening element above the sock part of the shoe.

In this way, both previously set tasks are solved. Attachments ... can be metal or plastic; Fastening elements - in the form of straps with buckles or in the form of strong tapes and other...
