Definitions

  • This invention relates to studded footwear such as sports shoes, for example football boots and golf shoes.
  • the term 'football' is intended to encompass all sports known as football, such as soccer, rugby and American and Australian football.
  • the studs are intended to provide traction, having a ground-engaging part of a type suited to the sport involved.
  • studs for football tend to have relatively sharp ground-piercing spikes, while those for golf shoes currently have several relatively soft and blunt ground-gripping spikes.
  • the studs are detachably fastened to the sole of the article of footwear, by a screw-threaded spigot on the stud engaging in a correspondingly threaded socket in a receptacle moulded in, or otherwise secured to, the shoe sole.
  • the screw-threaded connection must be designed to ensure that the stud remains in place, even when high forces are applied, and in particular that it does not unscrew accidentally.
  • Known studs have either a single start thread or a multi-start thread.
  • a single start thread is the simplest thread form, and provides a greater resistance to unscrewing than a multi- start thread. It also provides a strong connection over the several turns of the thread on the spigot and socket. However, because of the number of turns needed to attach and detach the stud, removal and replacement becomes a time-consuming operation.
  • a multi-start thread has a steeper helix angle, which enables a spigot of any given length to be inserted into the socket with less rotation.
  • the studs and sockets also incorporate a locking ratchet to prevent accidental unscrewing of the studs.
  • the stud and socket each have a set of teeth, which interengage as the stud is inserted into the socket. The arrangement of the teeth allows the stud to be in any one of a number of positions relative to the socket when it is fully inserted.
  • studs which are specifically oriented can be more effective.
  • the term "specifically- oriented stud” will be used to include studs which are non-rotationally symmetrical, or studs which are rotationally symmetrical, but whose orientation relative to the shoe sole is significant.)
  • a specifically- oriented stud must be oriented very precisely relative to the shoe sole to ensure that it operates in the desired manner. The known screw-threads and locking ratchets are unable to provide this precise orientation.
  • a multi-start thread provides a plurality of starting positions, and the locking ratchet a plurality of end positions.
  • the invention aims to ensure that a stud can be oriented precisely relatively to its socket and receptacle; orientation of the receptacle relative to the shoe sole is of course necessary, but does not form part of this invention.
  • the shoe stud in a combination of a shoe stud and receptacle, includes a ground-engaging part and the two components are adapted to be secured together by a multi-start threaded connection comprising a screw-threaded spigot on one of the two components adapted to be inserted with rotation into a screw-threaded socket on the other component, and a locking means of the components which is arranged to become interengaged at least when the spigot is fully inserted into the socket to resist unscrewing of the components, the locking means comprising at least one locking assembly, the arrangement being such that the relative number and/or position of the threads of the threaded connection and the locking assemblies determine the initial and final positions of the stud relative to the receptacle.
  • the stud can be specifically oriented relative to the receptacle and hence to the shoe sole.
  • the multi-start threaded connection may have two, three or more starts, to reduce the number of turns required to attach and detach the stud.
  • Both or all of the threads preferably have the same construction.
  • the initial position of the stud relative to the receptacle is then determined by the number and/or positions of the locking assembly or assemblies. For example, if the threaded connection is a two-start thread, there may be three locking assemblies, positioned so as to allow the threaded connection to engage when the stud is in one orientation, but to prevent its engagement when the stud is in the opposite orientation, since the locking assemblies are unable to start interengaging. A similar effect will be obtained if the threaded connection is a three-start thread, and there are two or four locking assemblies. In general, the threads and locking assemblies can easily be arranged to define the initial position of the stud relative to the receptacle if the numbers of each are relatively prime.
  • one of the locking assemblies may have a different construction from the other or others. This helps to ensure that the initial position of the stud relative to the receptacle is determined.
  • the locking means preferably comprises locking assemblies formed by radially facing locking formations on the stud and receptacle operative to interengage when the spigot has been screwed into the socket to a predetermined axial position.
  • One of the locking formations comprises at least one radial projection, while the other comprises at least a radially- facing lead-in ramp, recess and stop means. The projection rides over a lead-in ramp before snapping into a recess, and then engages the stop means to prevent the stud being screwed any further into the socket.
  • the locking assemblies allow the stud to be unscrewed on application of a predetermined torque by resilient yielding of the locking formations .
  • the projections and lead-in ramps may be formed on axially-extending webs surrounding the spigot or socket.
  • the projection of one locking assembly may have a greater axial extent than the other or others, with a corresponding lead-in ramp of smaller axial extent. If this projection engages with one of the other lead-in ramps, it will hold the threads on the spigot and socket out of engagement, thus preventing insertion of the threads at the wrong initial position. It is easy to arrange the locking assemblies circumferentially relative to the threads to ensure the precise final orientation of the stud relative to the receptacle.
  • the stud may therefore be a specifically oriented stud, and in particular a non-rotationally symmetrical stud.
  • Figure 1 is a top plan view of a shoe stud
  • Figure 2 is a perspective view of the stud of Figure 1 ;
  • Figure 3 is a side view of the stud of Figure 1 ;
  • Figure 4 is an underneath plan view of a receptacle for the stud of
  • Figure 5 is a perspective view of the receptacle of Figure 6.
  • Figures 1 to 3 show a stud 1 suitable for use on a sports shoe such as a golf shoe (not shown).
  • the stud 1 is adapted to be inserted with rotation and received in a receptacle 2, shown in Figures 4 and 5, which is moulded into or otherwise attached to a sole or heel of the sports shoe.
  • the stud 1 is a unitary moulding of plastics material and has a circular flange 3. Ground-engaging spikes 4 project from the lower side of the flange 3, while an externally screw -threaded spigot 5 projects from the upper side.
  • the spikes 4 are arranged to be non-rotationally symmetrical. As the spikes 4 of the stud 1 are non-rotationally symmetrical, it requires to be oriented in use relative to the shoe sole. Orientation of the stud 1 in the receptacle 2 is the first stage of this .
  • the external screw thread on the spigot 5 is a two-start thread 6 with a relatively steep helix angle, so that the stud 1 can be inserted in the receptacle 2 in approximately one-third of a turn. Because of the relatively steep helix angle of the thread, the frictional resistance to unscrewing of the stud 1 is relatively low.
  • the stud 1 and receptacle 2 therefore have a locking means 7, which serves to secure the stud 1 in the receptacle 2, as well as defining its initial and final position relative to the receptacle 2.
  • the locking means 7 comprises three locking assemblies 8 having cooperating parts in the stud 1 and receptacle 2.
  • the positions of the locking assemblies 8 relative to the two threads 6 on the spigot 5 are arranged to ensure that the stud 1 can only be inserted in one orientation, thus defining the initial position.
  • each projection comprises a part-cylindrical web 10 extending axially from a ring 11 which itself projects axially from the flange 3, co-axial with and radially spaced from the spigot 5.
  • Each projection 9 has a radially-outwardly extending locking projection as an axially-extending rib 12 provided on the leading end (in the screwing-up direction) of the web 10.
  • the rib 12 is substantially rectangular in outline, projecting perpendicularly from the cylindrical outer surface 13 of the web.
  • the trailing end 14 of the web is angled, so that the circumferential dimension of the lower end of the web 10 where it joins the ring 11 is greater than the circumferential dimension at its upper end.
  • One of the projections 9' has a greater axial height than the other two, extending for perhaps three-quarters of the axial height of the spigot 5.
  • the axial height of the other two projections is about half that of the spigot 5.
  • the receptacle 2 of Figures 4 and 5 is also a unitary moulding of plastics material. It has a circular top plate 15 with a central boss 16 depending from it. An annular anchoring flange 17 is formed by a portion of the plate 15 projecting radially outward beyond the boss 16. The flange 17 has apertures 18 which assist in anchoring the flange 17 to the shoe sole or heel, and an indentation 19 at one point in its periphery. The indentation 19 is used to orient the receptacle 2 in the shoe sole or heel.
  • the boss 16 comprises a stout inner cylindrical wall 20 and a relatively thin and slightly flexible outer wall 21.
  • the walls 20, 21 are co-axial.
  • the inner wall 20 forms an internally screw-threaded socket 22 adapted to receive the spigot 5.
  • the socket 22 also has a two-start thread.
  • the radially outer surface 23 of the inner wall 20 and the radially inner surface 24 of the outer wall 21 are spaced to define an annular space 25 between them, adapted to receive the webs 10 of the stud 1.
  • the cooperating parts of the locking assemblies 8 are also accommodated in the annular space 25.
  • each locking assembly 8 provided on the receptacle comprises a locking formation on the outer wall 21, formed on the inner surface 24 to face radially inwards.
  • Each locking formation has a recess 26 bordered on one circumferential side by a lead-in ramp 27, and on the other side by a stop 28.
  • the ramps 27 extend round approximately one- eighth of the circumference of the outer wall 21.
  • Each stop 28 extends from the inner surface 24 of the outer wall 21 to the outer surface 23 of the inner wall 20.
  • the maximum axial height of each ramp 27 is approximately the same as that of its stop 28.
  • Two of the ramps 27 and stops 28 have an axial height of about three-quarters of that of the walls 20, 21 , while the third 27' , 28' have a lesser axial height. This together with the different axial heights of the projections 9, 9' , assists in defining the initial position of the stud 1 relative to the receptacle 2, as explained in more detail below.
  • the receptacle 2 is incorporated in the sole or heel of a sports shoe. Normally the receptacle 2 is moulded into the shoe sole or heel. Because the stud 1 needs to be specifically-orientated, the receptacle 2 must also be oriented precisely in the shoe sole or heel. The indentation 19 may be used to orient the receptacle 2 in a mould.
  • the stud 1 is installed in the receptacle 2 by the insertion of the spigot 5 into the socket 22, with the projections 9 being received in the annular space 25 at the same time.
  • the thread 6 on the spigot 5 is a two-start thread
  • the arrangement of the three locking assemblies 8 however force the stud 1 into one particular orientation, as in the other orientation the projections 9 are prevented from entering the space 25 by engagement with the axial faces of the stops 28.
  • the projection 9' engages with the stops 28 of greater axial height, the screw threads on the spigot 5 and socket 22 will be held out of engagement; it is only when the spigot 5 is in the correct initial position that the threads can start to engage.
  • Rotation of the stud 1 causes the spigot 5 to be drawn into the socket 22, and the ribs 12 into the space 25.
  • the construction of the threads 6 is such that full insertion of the stud 1 takes only about one-third of a turn.
  • the locking projections 12 engage with the lead-in ramps 27, and then snap into the recesses 26 between the ramps 27 and the stops 28. Further rotation is therefore prevented by the engagement of the projections 12 with the stops 28.
  • the outer wall 21 deforms resiliently as the projections 12 ride over the ramps 28, but returns to its original shape when the projections 12 reach the recesses 26. As the projections 12 snap into the recesses 26 they make a click, which can be felt and/or heard, and signal that the insertion of the stud 1 is complete.
  • the final position of the stud 1 in the receptacle 2 is therefore determined by the locking means 7.
