Definitions

  • the present invention relates to sport shoes which are provided with suitable means ⁇ for removably securing spikes, cleats, or the like to the soles thereof in a manner so as to permit them to be exchanged.
  • the known sport shoes of his kind are usually provided with socket-like supporting elements which are emedded in the outerv soles and permit the spikes or cleats to be removably secured thereto, for example, by threaded connections.
  • These supporting elements generally ⁇ form threaded inserts, each of which consists or a threaded tubular sleeve or socket into which a spike or cleat may be screwed and which is provided with a lateral projection, usually in the form of a disk, by means of which the insert is anchored within the outer sole.
  • Sport shoes of the above-mentioned type in which the supporting elements for the spikes or cleats are embedded in the outer soles have the great advantage that the socalled spike pressure is considerably reduced or even avoided entirely.
  • This spike pressure is the annoying or even painful pressure which is exerted upon the bottom of the foot of the wearer of the sport shoe when under the forces which act upon the individual spikes or cleats the anchoring parts or disks of the supporting elements are pressed upwardly and form bulges on the upper side of t'ne insoles.
  • This spike pressure occurs primarily in such shoes in which the anchoring parts are secured at the upper side of the insole, for example, by being riveted thereon.
  • the anchoring parts are embedded in the outer sole ofthe shoe, the pressure which is exerted upon the spikes or cleats and is transmitted to their supporting elements is taken up by the outer sole and distributed over the surface thereof and is therefore no longer concentrated upon certain points of the sole.
  • the anchoring disk of such an insert is provided on the end of the threaded sleeve or socket facing the foot, the length of this socket must be less than the thickness of the outer sole. Since the spikes or cleats have to withstand considerable forces, they have to be very securely connected to the bottom of the shoe. T his requires the threaded part of each spike or cleat and also the threaded socket of each supporting insert in the outer sole to be made at least of a certain minimum length.
  • lt is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a lightweight sport shoe the bottom of which may be equipped with spikes, cleats, or the like which are removably secured thereto by being screwed into supporting elements which are embedded in the outer sole of the shoe in a manner so that even though the outer sole may be made relatively thin and very strong forces may be exerted upon the spikes or cleats these supporting elements will remain lirmly anchored to the sole and the occurrence of a spike pressure upon the bottom of the foot will also be prevented.
  • the invention provides in the i'irst instance that the part of each supporting element which is directly associated with a stop flange on the spike or cleat and preferably consists of a threaded sleeve or socket extends from the upper side to the lower side of the outer sole and at both sides of the anchoring projection on this element which preferably consists of an annular tlange.
  • the threaded sleeve therefore extends through theentire thickness of the outer sole, while the anchoring flange is embedded within the sole.
  • the invention further provides each individual spike supporting element to be made of a length greater than the thickness of the outer sole.
  • the invention provides the specific parts of the outer sole at and around the points where the individual supporting elements are located and would normally project from the bottom of the sole to be made of a greater thickness than the remainder of die sole by means of bulges at these parts of the bottom of the sole, so that the total thickness of the sole at these pants corresponds to the length of the supporting elements. Since the sides of these reinforcing bulges are tapered toward the normal bottom level of the outer sole, the spike pressure will also be more effectively distributed than if the spikes were applied directly upon the normal bottom of the sole.
  • each spike with a disklike enlargement in the form of a flange on the shank of the spike directly adjacent to the threaded stud which is screwed into a supporting element in the outer sole. Its enlarged flat or slightly concave side facing the sole thereof increases the bearing surface of the spike on a reinforcing bulge of the sole.
  • the other side of this round flange is preferably smoothly beveled and Ymerges by a -lillet with the shank of the spike.
  • the flange is further preferably provided with radial recesses into which a suitable tool may engage when the spike is to be screwed into a securing element in the sole and tightened against the sole or to be removed from the sole.
  • the llange therefore also serves as a screwhead.
  • this round screwhead with radial recesses therein has several distinct advantages. Since it is round and smoothly beveled in the direction toward the shank of the spike, it is much less aiected by wear, for example, of a cinder track, than a polygonal screwhead.
  • a further very important advantage of the spike according to the invention is the fact that, due to thev smoothly beveled shape of this tlange or screwhead, the latter can penetrate much more easily and with less resistance into the ground, and especially into ahard cinder track, than a polygonal screwead.
  • FIGURE l shows an enlarged axial section of a supporting element according to the invention for securing a spike to the sole of a sport shoe
  • FIGURE 2 shows two similar vertical sections of a racing shoe according to the invention, in which the sectional view at the left side shows the shoe and the spikes before being connected to each other, while the View at the right side shows the spikes secured to the shoe;
  • FIGURE 3 shows a perspective view of the front part of the racing shoe according to FIGURE 2, as seen upon the bottom of the outer sole thereof;
  • FIGURE 4 shows a perspective View of a spike according to the invention
  • FIGURE V shows an axial section of the spike taken along line V-V of FIGURE 6; while FIGURE 6 shows a plan view of the spike as seen in the direction of the arrow A in FIGURE 5.
  • the supporting element or insert 1 which may be made, for example, of metal consists of a threaded tubular part 2 and an annular disklike anchoring flange 3 which may he secured to or integral with this tubular part.
  • the threaded tubular part 2 extends at both sides of ange 3 and as shown in FIGURE 2, it has a length in accordanceV with the maximum thickness of the outer sole 4 in which the entire supporting insert 1 including the tubular part 2 and lange 3 is completely embedded. In order to reduce the general thickness of the outer sole 4.
  • the area 5 of the outer sole where the threaded inserts 1 are embedded are made of a greater thickness than the remainder of the sole and form projecting bulges on the bottom thereof.
  • the threaded inserts 1 may be placed into the outer sole 4 and the projecting bulges 5 thereof during the casting of the outer sole or during the operation of vulcanizing or molding such a sole tof rubber or plastic upon the upper 6 and the insole 7 of the shoe. While the material of the outer sole i is then still in a liquid condition, it penetrates' through the perforations 3 in the flanges 3 of inserts 1, as indicated in FIGURE 2, whereby the inserts are securely locked against rotation in the outer sole 4.
  • FIGURES 4 to 6 show a spike 9 which has a threaded stud l@ on its shank 11 and an annular ange 12 on the end of this shank adjacent to stud 1t?.
  • This flange 12 has a dat or slightly concavey suracefacing the threaded stud and a pair of diametrically opposite recesses 13 which extend entirely through the ange and permit a suitable tool to engage into them for screwing the stud into the threaded bore in the insert 1 and tightening the spike on a bulge 5 of the outer sole 4 or for loosening it therefrom' when the spike is to be removed or exchanged.
  • the flange 12 has a dat or slightly concavey suracefacing the threaded stud and a pair of diametrically opposite recesses 13 which extend entirely through the ange and permit a suitable tool to engage into them for screwing the stud into the threaded bore in the insert 1 and tightening the spike on a bulge 5 of the outer sole 4 or for loosen
  • a sport shoe equipped with detachable spikes saidsport shoe having an outer sole provided with a plurality ofl integral bulges projecting beyond the lower surface of said outer sole, there being embedded in each of said bulges a respective supporting element which extends substantially from the upper surface of said outer sole down to the bottom of the bulge within which it is embedded, each supporting element having a lateral projection for anchoring the respective supporting element to said sole, each supporting element further having means for detachably receiving a respective spike, each of said spikes having a connecting portion which is received by the receiving means of a respective supporting element, each spike further having a flange portion which, when the connecting portion of the spike is received by the receiving means of a supporting element, bears against the bulge within which the respective supporting element is embedded, each such bulge having, at'its lowermost surface region, an expanse whose area is substantially greater than that of the flange portion of the respective spike, in consequence of which there is obtained a distribution of the force between the spike and the sole.
  • each of said supporting elements further comprises a sleeve portion whose interior serves as the receiving means, said sleeve portion extending axially on both sides of said lateral projection.
