Customizable traction assembly kit

Abstract

A customizable traction assembly kit which contains one or more traction devices having a non-sharp surface which are attachable to a bottom of a shoe and removable therefrom such that the one or more traction devices may be arranged in a plurality of configurations depending on the desired use.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A traction device for attaching to a shoe comprising:
 a disc having an outer circumference and an inner circumference, the inner circumference forming an inner hole,   the disc having at least two surfaces, a first surface configured to face and directly contact the shoe, in an assembled state, and a second surface opposite the first surface which is entirely flat,   a securing device configured to be received by the inner hole and attach the disc to the shoe in an assembled state,   wherein a distal end of the securing device is flushed with the second surface of the disc in the assembled state.   
     
     
         2 . The traction device according to  claim 1 , wherein the disc has an inner portion which tapers inwardly toward the inner circumference, and the distal end of the securing device tapers outwardly corresponding to the inner portion such that the distal end of the securing device fits into the inner portion of the disc. 
     
     
         3 . The traction device according to  claim 2 , wherein at least the inner portion of the disc contacts with the securing device. 
     
     
         4 . The traction device according to  claim 1 , wherein the outer circumference is a continuous circular line such that the disc has a circular shape. 
     
     
         5 . The traction device according to  claim 1 , wherein the inner circumference is a continuous circular line such that the inner hole has a circular shape. 
     
     
         6 . The traction device according to  claim 1 , wherein the disc is made from aluminum. 
     
     
         7 . The traction device according to  claim 1 , wherein the securing device is attachable to the shoe in the assembled state and removable therefrom in a non-assembled state. 
     
     
         8 . A universal traction kit in combination with footwear, comprising:
 a footwear having a bottom surface,   at least one first traction device including a first securing device screwed directly into a bottom surface of the footwear and a first disc, the first disc having: a first surface that directly contacts the bottom surface of the footwear, and a second surface opposite to the first surface and configured to contact a ground surface during use of the footwear by a user, a first inner hole that extends completely through the first disc from the first surface to the second surface, and a first outer perimeter, and   at least one second traction device including a second securing device screwed directly into the bottom surface of the footwear and a second disc, the second disc having: a first surface that directly contacts the bottom surface of the footwear, and a second surface opposite to the first surface and configured to contact a ground surface during use of the footwear by a user, a second inner hole that extends completely through the second disc from the first surface to the second surface, and a second outer perimeter,   wherein the first outer perimeter is larger than the second outer perimeter so that, upon the first securing device and the second securing device being screwed into the bottom surface of the footwear, the first surface of the first disc contacts a larger surface area of the bottom surface of the footwear than the first surface of the second disc, and the second surface of the first disc contacts a larger surface area of the ground surface than the second surface of the second disc, and   wherein the first inner hole of the first disc has a first inner diameter located at the first surface of the first disc and an inner portion that has a tapered inner diameter that tapers outwardly to the second surface of the first disc,   wherein the second inner hole of the second disc has a first inner diameter located at the first surface of the second disc and an inner portion that has a tapered inner diameter that tapers outwardly to the second surface of the second disc,   wherein the at least one first traction device and the at least one second traction device attach to separate locations of the bottom surface of the footwear in any position amongst an entirety of the bottom surface of the footwear upon the first securing device and the second securing device being screwed and penetrated into the bottom surface of the footwear, wherein the at least one first traction device and the at least one second traction device consist entirely of aluminum,   wherein an outer surface of each of the first securing device and the second securing device penetrated into the bottom surface of the footwear directly contacts a rubber material that forms the bottom surface of the footwear, so that the outer surface of each of the first securing device and the second securing device, formed of the aluminum, is penetrated into the material and encircled by the rubber material, thereby securing the at least one first traction device and the at least one second traction device directly to the footwear.   
     
     
         9 . The universal traction kit according to  claim 8 , wherein the at least one first traction device has a thickness in an attachment direction which is the same as a thickness in the attachment direction of the at least one second traction device. 
     
     
         10 . The universal traction kit according to  claim 9 , wherein a distal end of the securing device of the at least one first traction device and the at least one second traction device is flush with an outer surface of the disc of the at least one first traction device and the at least one second traction, respectively. 
     
     
         11 . The universal traction kit according to  claim 8 , wherein an outer circumference of the at least one first traction device and an outer circumference of the at least one second traction device is a continuous circular line respectively. 
     
     
         12 . The universal traction kit according to  claim 8 , wherein the securing device is attachable to the shoe in the assembled state and removable therefrom in a non-assembled state. 
     
     
         13 . A method for attaching a traction device to a shoe comprising:
 placing at least one disc having an outer circumference and an inner hole on a bottom surface of the shoe to directly contact the shoe,   inserting a securing device into the inner hole of the disc such that a distal end of the securing device is flush with an outer surface of the disc in an assembled stated and the outer surface of the disc has an entirely flat surface.   
     
     
         14 . The traction device according to  claim 1 , wherein the traction device is attached only to a sole of a shoe.
