Abstract

A handy spur structure related to a continuation-in-part application of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 12/7261860 includes: a spur main body, which is a curved rigid body adapted to a configuration of a heel section of a rider's shoe/boot, the spur main body having at least one post outward protruding from a middle section of the spur main body; and a soft and elastic lining member disposed on a portion of an inner circumference of the spur main body that is closer to a lower edge thereof. Multiple recessed/raised anti-slip stripes are formed on a surface of the lining member. The junction face between the spur main body and the lining member is more approximately orthogonal to the direction of the action force when treading on a horse's belly, whereby the possibility of peeling of the lining member from the spur main body along the junction face is minimized.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A handy spur structure comprising:
 a spur main body, which is a curved rigid body adapted to a configuration of a heel section of a rider's shoe/boot; and   a lining member disposed on a portion of an inner circumference of the spur main body that is closer to a lower edge of the spur main body, the lining member being made of a soft and elastic material.   
     
     
         2 . The handy spur structure as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein a junction face is formed between the spur main body and the lining member, the junction face being outward upward inclined on the basis of the lining member. 
     
     
         3 . The handy spur structure as claimed in  claim 2 , wherein the junction face is a plane face. 
     
     
         4 . The handy spur structure as claimed in  claim 2 , wherein the junction face is an arched face. 
     
     
         5 . The handy spur structure as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein multiple recessed/raised anti-slip stripes are formed on a surface of the lining member. 
     
     
         6 . The handy spur structure as claimed in  claim 1 ,  2 ,  3  or  4 , wherein the spur main body has two end sections each of which is formed with at least one strap slot, whereby a strap can be passed through the strap slots of the spur main body and fastened around an instep of the rider's shoe/boot. 
     
     
         7 . The handy spur structure as claimed in  claim 5 , wherein the spur main body has two end sections each of which is formed with at least one strap slot, whereby a strap can be passed through the strap slots of the spur main body and fastened around an instep of the rider's shoe/boot. 
     
     
         8 . The handy spur structure as claimed in  claim 1 ,  2 ,  3  or  4 , wherein the spur main body has a post outward protruding from a portion of the spur main body, which portion is adjacent to the heel section of the rider's shoe/boot. 
     
     
         9 . The handy spur structure as claimed in  claim 5 , wherein the spur main body has a post outward protruding from a portion of the spur main body, which portion is adjacent to the heel section of the rider's shoe/boot. 
     
     
         10 . The handy spur structure as claimed in  claim 6 , wherein the spur main body has a post outward protruding from a portion of the spur main body, which portion is adjacent to the heel section of the rider's shoe/boot. 
     
     
         11 . The handy spur structure as claimed in  claim 1 ,  2 ,  3  or  4 , wherein the spur main body is a U-shaped rigid body. 
     
     
         12 . The handy spur structure as claimed in  claim 5 , wherein the spur main body is a U-shaped rigid body. 
     
     
         13 . The handy spur structure as claimed in  claim 6 , wherein the spur main body is a U-shaped rigid body. 
     
     
         14 . The handy spur structure as claimed in  claim 8 , wherein the spur main body is a U-shaped rigid body. 
     
     
         15 . The handy spur structure as claimed in  claim 1 ,  2 ,  3  or  4 , wherein the lining member is made of thermoplastic urethane (TPU) elastomer. 
     
     
         16 . The handy spur structure as claimed in  claim 5 , wherein the lining member is made of thermoplastic urethane (TPU) elastomer.
