' SHQE CLEAT Filed June 3 1943 2 Sheets-Sheet 2 Inventor flea/Z Parsons eon WW9 111/ A tto rueys Patented" Jan. 23, 1945 Mrs STATES PATENT orrlce 4 Claims.
The present invention relates to new and useful improvements in shoe cleats designed to provide an anti-slipping tread for the shoe under all conditions and adapted, when used in mud, snow, sand or other loose soil, to clean itself and eliminate caking or the clinging of loose particles to the cleat.
More particularly the invention resides in the provision of a shoe cleat in the form of a V-shaped rib on the surface of the shoe sole and arranged with the pointed end of the rib extending in a rearward direction, whereby the forwardly diverging sides of the cleat will wedge itself in the soil as the foot is pushed back at the end of a step and provide the necessary grip on the ground, while loose material is forced out at the open front end of the cleat to thus prevent packing of the material between the sides of the cleat.
An important object of the invention is to provide a cleat of this character which may be either formed integrally with a rubber or composition shoe sole, or which may be removably attached to a sole of rubber, leather or other .suitable material.
A further object is to provide an article of this character of simple and practical construction and design, which is neat and attractive in appearance, relatively inexpensive to manufacture and otherwise well adapted for the purposes for which the same is intended.
Other objects and advantages reside in the details of construction and operation a more.
of a shoe sole showing my invention secured thereto.
Figure 2 is a fragmentary side elevational'view.
Figure 3 is a sectional view taken on a line 3--3 ofFisure 1- channel 8- in its outer surfaceadapted for conformably and interchangeably receiving inserts I, 8 or 9. The insert I is formed with a toothed surface l0, while the insert 8* is formed with a beveled or knife edge H, and the outersurface or edge of the insert 9 is flat.
Figure 4 is a bottom view of one type of insert.
Figure 5 is a similar view of another type of insert.
Figure 6 isa bottom plan view of a modified type of cleat.
Figure 7 is a side elevational view thereof, and
Figure 8 is a sectional view taken on a line 8-8 of Figure 6.
Referring now to the drawings in detail and with. particular reference to the form of the invention illustrated in Figures 1-5, inclusive, the numeral 5 designates a V-shaped plate having a The inserts and the plate are formed with aligned opening i 2 and I3 at the closed and open ends of the V for receiving screws l4 threaded'in disks or anchoring elements l5 embedded in the shoe sole IE to secure the cleat to the outer surface of the sole and'arranged with the open end of the cleat nearest the front of the shoe and with the cleat positioned substantially under the ball of the foot.
The plate 5 as well as the inserts I, 8 and 9 may be formed of metal, rubber, composition material, plastics, or any other suitable material and when the plate is removed, threaded plugs (not shown) may be inserted in the disks l5 and the shoe used for street or indoor wear.
' In the form of the invention illustrated in Figures 6-8 inclusive,'one or more of the cleats I1 is molded or otherwise secured on a rubber sole I8 and the cleat is formed on its outer edge or surface with pyramidal lugs l9 having blunt apexes 20.
In both forms of the invention, the open end of the cleat is positioned nearest the front of the shoe to provide outwardly diverging sides which oppose any tendency of the foot to slip backwardly while walking on any surface or in loose ground and thus provide greaterv surety in walking. At the same time the backward motion of thefoot, when raising the same while walking will cause any loose material clinging to the cleat to slip out at open end of the cleat.
It is believed the details of construction, operation and manner of use of the device will be readily understood from the foregoing without further detailed explanation.
- Having described the invention, what is claimed as new is:
l. A shoe cleat comprising a V-shaped plate having a channel in its surface, a complementary shaped insert fitted in the channel, and means for detachably securing the plate and insert to the surface of a shoe solewith the open end of the plate disposed nearest the front of the shoe.
j 2. A shoe cleat comprising a V-shaped plate having a. channel in its surface, a complementary ,shapedlinsert fitted in the channel, an anchoring member embedded in the sole of a shoe. and screws carried by the plate and insert and threaded into the anchoring member for secui ingthe plate and insert to the sole.
3. A shoe cleat comprising a V-shaped plate having a channel in its surface, a complementary shaped insert fitted in the channel, and' 4. A shoe cleat comprising a V-shaped plate having a channel in its surface, a complementary shapedinsert fitted in the channel, and
means for detachably securing the plate and insert to the surface of a shoe sole with the open end of the plate disposed nearest the front of the shoe, said insert having a toothed edge pro- Jecting beyond the surface of the plate.
