Definitions

  • the bowling overshoe comprises a sole portion providing a floor engaging surface having a relatively low coefiicient of friction, a toe portion for supporting the toe of a conventional shoe, a heel portion for supporting the heel of the conventional shoe and providing a floor engaging surface having a relatively high coefiicient of friction, and a strap portion for seeming the bowling overshoe in operative position on the conventional shoe.
  • the floor engaging surfaces cooperate so that a bowler may slide freely and easily upon the sole portion while controlling and braking the slide by the heel portion.
  • This invention relates to an overshoe for use by bowlers and more particularly to a bowling overshoe that is adapted to be worn over a conventional shoe.
  • bowling is basically an indoor sport and utilizes expensive bowling alleys, the floor of which is usually formed of hardwood or the like and includes an approach portion that is traveled on extensively by the bowler. Due to the expensive nature of these bowling alleys and the desirability to maintain the alleys in an immaculate condition so as to minimize bowling differences between alleys, certain rules and/or regulations have been established mostly by proprietors of bowling facilities which require that users of the bowling facilities wear a shoe which will not mark or in any way cause damage or undue wear to the bowling alleys.
  • the owners of the bowling facilities are required to periodically, preferably between use by different people, clean or in some way sanitize these special type shoes. As would be expected, the supply and cleaning of these special type shoes further adds to the expense of operation of a bowling facility, which expense is transferred to the user of the bowling facility.
  • the bowling ball is delivered by the bowler while moving along the approach portion of the bowling alley, which movement imparts additional momentum to the bowling ball and facilitates delivery thereof by the bowler.
  • this movement terminates in a sliding forward movement by the bowler during which sliding movement the ball is released.
  • this sliding movement is usually with the left foot while in the case of a left-handed bowler this sliding movement is usually with the right foot.
  • the overshoe be sufficiently secured to his conventional shoe so that the bowling overshoe and the bowler move as a unit so as not to interfere with his bowling activities.
  • a bowling overshoe comprising a sole means providing a floor engaging surface having a relatively low coefficient of friction and having outside edge portions, a toe means connected to the edge portions of the sole means for receiving and supporting the toe of a conventional shoe, 3. heel means providing a floor engaging surface having a relatively high coefficient of friction and being operatively connected to the sole means for receiving and supporting the heel of the conventional shoe, and strap means for securing the bowling overshoe in operative position on the conventional shoe.
  • the sole and heel means of the bowling overshoe cooperate so that the bowler may slide freely upon the sole means of the bowling overshoe while controlling and braking the slide by the heel means.
  • the bowling overshoe of the present invention is preferably made adaptable for wearing over various size conventional shoes by rendering the toe and strap means adjustable and including adjustable means for interconnecting the heel means and the sole means in operative relation so that the bowling overshoe may be adjusted lengthwise for Wearing over various size conventional shoes.
  • FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a bowling overshoe constructed in accordance with the present invention and shown being worn over a conventional shoe on a wearers foot;
  • FIG. 2 is a reduced perspective view of the bowling overshoe of FIG. 1 and shown in an inoperative condition in readiness for being worn over a conventional shoe as in FIG. 1;
