CLEAT FOR ATHLETIC SHOES.
Application filed June 30,1924. seriarm. 723,093.
My invention pertains to cleats for athletic shoes, and more particularly to cleats of rubber or similar slightly pliable material especially adapted for attachment to the shoes of football players;. and the object of the invention is to provide such a cleat with means for fastening it to the tread means of the shoe and with means for holding or re taining said fastening means in proper position in said cleat and to prevent loosening or withdrawal thereof from the cleat.
Other objects will appear hereinafter.
The invention consists in the combinations and arrangements of parts hereinafter described and claimed.
The invention will be best understood by reference to the accompanying drawings forming a part of thisspecification, and in which,
Figure 1 is a vertical sectional view of a portion of a shoe showing one form of my improved cleat mounted thereon.
Figure 2 is a verticalsectional view taken on line 2-2 of Figure 1;
Fig. 3 is a bottom plan view of a part of a shoe, showing a modified form of cleatv mounted thereon;
Fig. 4 is a vertical sectional view taken on line 4-4 of Fig. 3.
Broadly the invention includes cleats of compact rubber or rubber composition or similar slightly yieldable material especially adapted to be mounted under the tread members of shoes of football players to give the required traction to the shoes and at the same time to provide cleats which will not injure the other players; and these cleats are provided with fastenin means forv fastenin .a 1'
them to the tread members of the shoe, and means in the form of plates is mounted or imbedded in the cleat and is connected with the fastening means for preventing the loosening or withdrawal of the fastening means from the cleat.
The form illustrated in Figs. 3 and t shows a modified type of cleat 20, which is ridge shaped in form, and has a plate or band 21 mounted around its side surface and substantially imbedded therein, while nails or similar fastening members 22 are driven through openings in said plate 21 and through the base of said cleat and through the treadmember 23 of a shoe, having the ends 24 clenched or bent over on the inner side of said tread member. This t pe of cleat may also be conical in form as s own by cleat 26 inner end 36, as shown in Fig. 1.
in Fig. 3, having a holding band or plate 27 embracing its conical surface and partly imbedded therein, while fastening elements 28 extend through openings in said band and through the cleat into the tread member 23. These bands 21 and 27 are effective as holding or. retaining means for the fastening members or elements 22 and 28, and are also effective as re-enforcing or strengthening means for the cleats themselves.
Figs. 1 and 2 show a modified form of cleat 30 which is provided with a holding member or plate 31 having side ears or lugs 32 with openings therein which coincide with openings 33 in the cleat for receiving fastenin elements 34 which engage through the tread member 35 of a shoe and are clenched at th In either of the forms of my invention the late acts as a holding member for retaining the fastening element or member in position in the cleat so as to effectively prevent the cleat from drawing away from the fastening member.
While I have illustrated and described the preferred form of construction for carrying my invention into effect, this is capable of variation and modification without departing from the spirit of the invention. I, therefore, do not wish to be limited to the precise details of construction. set forth, but desire to avail myself of such variations and modifications as come within the scope of the appended claims.
Having described my invention, what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is:
1. The combination with a shoe, of a cleat of slightly yielding material; a perforated metallic plate embedded in said cleat; and inclined nails passing through the sides of said cleat and the perforations in said plate and fastening said cleat to said shoe, substantially as described.
2. The combination with a shoe, of a cleat of slightly yielding material; a perforated metallic plate in the form of a band encompassing the sides of said cleat and embedded therein; and inclined nails passin through said perforations and the sides 0 said cleat and fastening said cleat to said shoe, substantially as described.
In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification.
JOHN T. ,RIDDELL.
