Abstract

A golf shoe sole with a pattern configured for one-way rotation includes a pattern with a rotation point pattern. The rotation point pattern includes a center point tread, whereby the golf shoe sole is configured to rotate about the center point tread of the rotation point pattern. The pattern can also include one or more one-way rotation patterns. Each of the one-way rotation patterns include a plurality of one-way guide blades.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A shoe sole with a pattern configured for one-way rotation comprising:
 the pattern having:
 a rotation point pattern. 
   
     
     
         2 . The shoe sole of  claim 1 , wherein said rotation point pattern including a center point tread, whereby the shoe sole is configured to rotate about said center point tread of the rotation point pattern. 
     
     
         3 . The shoe sole of  claim 2 , wherein said center point tread including a substantially conical shaped top. 
     
     
         4 . The shoe sole of  claim 2 , wherein said center point tread including a rotatable center point cleat. 
     
     
         5 . The shoe sole of  claim 4 , wherein said rotatable center point cleat is rotatable by a ball bearing socket and said center point cleat is a soft spike. 
     
     
         6 . The shoe sole of  claim 2 , wherein said rotation point pattern including at least one ring tread around said center point tread. 
     
     
         7 . The shoe sole of  claim 6 , wherein:
 said rotation point pattern including two ring treads equally spaced around said center point tread;   each of said ring treads having a V-shaped top; and   said center point tread having a center height being approximately equal to a ring height of said ring treads.   
     
     
         8 . The shoe sole of  claim 1 , wherein said pattern further comprising:
 one or more one-way rotation patterns.   
     
     
         9 . The shoe sole of  claim 8 , wherein each of said one-way rotation patterns including a plurality of one-way guide blades having:
 a slide end configured to allow the one-way rotation; and   a stop end configured to restrict movement opposite the one-way rotation.   
     
     
         10 . The shoe sole of  claim 9 , wherein each of said one-way guide blades having a radius of curvature approximately equal to a distance from a center of said rotation point pattern. 
     
     
         11 . The shoe sole of  claim 9 , wherein:
 said slide end including a rounded or angled portion and said stop end including a blunt or sharp portion;   each of said one-way guide blades including a substantially V-shaped top portion; and/or   each of said one-way rotation patterns including a plurality of rows of one-way guide blades, where each of said one-way guide blades from one row are offset from each of the one-way guide blades of adjoining rows, wherein each of said rows of one-way guide blades including at least two one-way guide blades.   
     
     
         12 . The shoe sole of  claim 9 , wherein one of said one-way rotation patterns including a counter rotate spike, wherein said counter rotate spike being positioned off of an inner toe portion, having a substantially square or trapezoidal cross-section, and having a height being shorter than said one-way guide blades, whereby said counter rotate spike being configured to:
 give traction extension during the counter rotate portion of the swing; and/or   provide traction for walking.   
     
     
         13 . The shoe sole of  claim 8  including a heel portion, a front portion, and a center portion, the shoe sole is convex. 
     
     
         14 . The shoe sole of  claim 13 , wherein said pattern having:
 the rotation point pattern in the heel portion; and   the at least one-way rotation pattern in the front portion;   wherein, the shoe sole being for a front shoe of a golfer, whereby the front shoe may rotate in one direction about the heel portion.   
     
     
         15 . The shoe sole of  claim 13 , wherein said pattern having:
 the rotation point pattern in the front portion; and   the at least one-way rotation pattern in the heel portion;   wherein, the shoe sole being for a front shoe of a golfer, whereby the front shoe may rotate in one direction about the front portion.   
     
     
         16 . The shoe sole of  claim 13 , wherein said pattern having:
 the rotation point pattern in the center portion;   a first one-way rotation pattern in the heel portion; and   a second one-way rotation pattern in the front portion;   wherein, the shoe sole being for a front shoe of a golfer, whereby the front shoe may rotate in one direction about the center portion.   
     
     
         17 . A golf shoe with a sole having a pattern configured for one-way rotation comprising:
 the pattern having:
 a rotation point pattern. 
   
     
     
         18 . The golf shoe of  claim 17 , wherein said rotation point pattern including a center point tread, whereby the golf shoe is configured to rotate about said center point tread of the rotation point pattern. 
     
     
         19 . The golf shoe of  claim 17 , wherein said pattern further having one or more one-way rotation patterns. 
     
     
         20 . The golf shoe of  claim 19 , wherein each of said one-way rotation patterns including a plurality of one-way guide blades, each guide blade having:
 a slide end configured to allow the one-way rotation;   a stop end configured to restrict movement opposite the one-way rotation; and   a radius of curvature approximately equal to a distance from a center of said rotation point pattern.
