Definitions

  • This invention relates to footwear and more particularly but not exclusively to sports footwear.
  • the basic requirement is for the player to be able to exert control over the ball at the time of kicking to such an extent that the player is able to impart spin or other forms of induced movement into the ball so as selectively to vary the flight of the ball as a contrast to the simple kicking ahead of the ball.
  • a method of enabling friction between an article of footwear and a ball is enhanced characterised by the step of applying to or producing on the article of footwear at least one region/zone of enhanced friction capability.
  • an article of footwear having at least one region/zone at which frictional interaction during contact between a ball and a said region/zone is enhanced.
  • each said region/zone is such that the reaction between a said region/zone and a ball on impact between the ball and the region/zone is such as to facilitate the production of a relative movement between boot and .ball which is such as to caause the ball to follow a curved trajectory.
  • each said region/zone is such that at each such region/zone the surface of the boot is arranged to produce additional grip between the ball and the surface of the boot at a said region/zone whereby any relative displacement between the ball and footwear/boot surface whilst contact is occuring therebetween facilitates i parting spin to the ball.
  • a said predetermined region/zone of an article of footwear such as a boot incorporates a plurality of raised elements, pips, dots, or otherwise raised or roughened surface characteristics.
  • At least one of the regions/zones can include plurality of recessed locations defined by recesses , grooves, hollows or the like arranged such that the open ends of the walls recesses, grooves, hollows or the like provide the friction enhancement.
  • a region/zone can involve a combination of raised elements and recessed locations.
  • the raised elements and/or recessed regions are arranged as regular arrays.
  • the elements have generally cylindrically shaped bodies and a domed free ends.
  • the said regions/zones of the- footwear are covered with a layer or panel of a material presenting an array of said raised elements which layer or panel conforms to the form of the article of footwear at the location of mounting to the article of footwear.
  • Figure 2 is a very very highly schematic side view representation of an article of footwear which is conveniently represented by a football boot the Figure illustrating the inside of the left boot incorporating the proposals of the invention;
  • Figure 3 is a plan view of the boot shown in Figure 1 or 2;
  • Figure 4 is a more detailed illustration of a particular football boot incorporating the features of the invention.
  • the boot very schematically shown therein is basically representative of the essentials of a conventional football boot construction and form in that it incorporating a sole platform 1 provided with playing field grip enhancing studs 2 and uppers 3 with lace receiving eyelets 4.
  • one or more regions/zones of the boot i.e., the toe region 5, the front instep region 6 and/or the front outside side region 7 of the boot uppers 3 incorporates at each such region/zone outwardly projecting i,e., raised elements 8 such as pips, dots, or the like.
  • the elements 8 can be arranged in random fashion as is very schematically indicated at 9 ( Figure 3) or in regular lines/arrays as is very schematically indicated at 10 ( Figure 10) .
  • the provision of the regions/zones 5, 6,and 7 of projecting elements produces an overall surface effect such that when the any of these regions/zones strikes a ball in such manner that there is relative displacement between the region/zone surface and the ball at an angle to the impact direction between the ball and boot, the interaction between the region/zone 5,6 or 7 actually involved in the impact contact with the ball forms an area at which frictional interaction during the contact is enhanced produces a drag effect which, in practice, is usually sufficient to induce a degree of spin or twist into the subsequent movement of the ball. In other words the ball is caused to swerve during its flight.
  • the interaction between the ball and a said region/zone is such as to produce increased grip i.e., drag effect which affords a player with the facility of being able to exercise a greater control over the subsequent movements of the ball thereby effectively enhancing ball control and the guiding of the subsequent desired movement of the ball.
  • each said region/zone is such that the reaction between a said region/zone and a ball on impact between the ball and the region/zone is such as to facilitate the production of a relative movement between boot and -ball which is such as to caause the ball to follow a curved trajectory.
  • each said region/zone is such that the boot is arranged effectively to produce additional grip between the ball contacting surface at the region/zone and the ball whereby any relative displacement between the ball and boot surface whilst contact is occuring therebetween facilitates the imparting of spin to the ball.
  • the regions/zones can be provided by attaching a panel of a material comprising a backing layer which is to be secured by suitable adhesive, stitching etc., to the surface of the boot upper at a desired location at which it is required to locate the friction enhancing region/zone Q the backing layer carrying an arrangement of dots, pimples, or other small projections projecting from the base layer or recessed regions in the layer.
  • a said predetermined zone/region of an article of footwear such as a boot incorporates a plurality of -c raised elements, pips, dots, or otherwise raised or roughened surface characteristics.
  • the regions/zones can include plurality of recessed locations such as recesses, grooves, hollows or the like arranged such that the open ends of the recesses 2 ) grooves, hollows or the like provide the friction enhancement.
  • a region/zone can involve a combination of raised elements and recesssed locations.
  • the raised elements and/or 25 recessed regions are arranged as regular arrays.
  • the said regions of the footwear are covered with a layer of material presenting an array of said raised elements .
  • the dots, pips, or other such raised elements may be formed from a composite plastics material such one having a backing or substrate comprising Nylon Polyester which substrate is covered with PVC dots or the like.
  • the raised elements can be located at a single. location such as the inside or outside of the side forming regions of the boot or, for example, on the toe cap.
  • This single region/zone arrangement is shown in Figure 4.
  • the boot ' shown in Figure 4 is representative of present day boot formations and in so far as the present Application is concerned the detailed construction of the boot does not require discussion in this specification.
  • the friction enhancing region/zone is shown at 11.
  • the raised elements are arranged as a regular array of raised elements 8.
  • the particular location of the raised elements would be related to the particular operational effect it is desired to enable a user of the boot to achieve when wearing the boot.
  • the elements may be randomly distributed within an area or i-n regularly arranged rectilinear or curved rows and columns of elements.

Abstract

Chaussure de sport caractérisée par la présence d'au moins une région/zone (5, 6, 7) sur laquelle la friction réciproque exercée pendant le contact entre une balle et ladite région/zone est augmentée. Chacune desdites régions/zones est conçue de telle façon que la réaction entre une desdites zones et une balle au moment du choc entre ladite balle et ladite zone est de nature à faciliter la création d'un déplacement relatif entre la chaussure et la balle, de manière à ce que la balle suive une trajectoire linéaire/incurvée souhaitée.
