Transverse studs applied to footwear

Abstract

The invention is transverse studs applied to footwear, for example, soccer boots. The invention aims to maintain the athlete's push off ability in the frontal plane, the main direction to be taken by the soccer player and provides this frontal displacement without significantly compromising the rotation of the foot in the cross plane, as it is necessary in the event of a rotational maneuver. The studs resemble the biconvex lens section cut in relation to its “X” axis, or studs in the shape of a keel with a straight lateral surface in a triangular shaping, also cut in relation to its “X” axis.

1 - Transverse studs applied to footwear, characterized by studs ( 1 ) that resemble the biconvex lens section ( 2 ) cut in relation to its “X” axis ( 3 ), or studs ( 4 ) in the shape of a keel with a straight lateral surface in a triangular shaping ( 5 ), also cut in relation to its “X” axis ( 6 ); 
     
     
         2 - Transverse studs, according to  claim 1  and characterized by that said studs ( 1  and  4 ) being fixed on the bottom sole ( 7 ) of sports shoes, ( 8 ), positioned transversely ( 10 ,  11  and  12 ) distributed in the forefoot ( 13 ) and transverse studs ( 14  and  15 ) distributed in the hindfoot ( 16 ), so as to be positioned in accordance with the angle of the shoe tip ( 17 ) and the angle of the back of the shoe ( 18 ). 
     
     
         3 - Transverse studs, according to  claim 1  characterized by the distribution of the studs on the forefoot ( 13 ) being in accordance with the angle of the shoe's toe ( 17 ), in order to ensure the maintenance of the front push off ( 19 ) in relation to the ground. 
     
     
         4 - Transverse studs, according to  claim 1  characterized by allowing the rotation of the foot in the transverse plane, lateral displacement ( 21 ). 
     
     
         5 - Transverse studs, according to  claim 1  characterized by distributing the studs ( 14  and  15 ) on the hindfoot ( 16 ) in accordance with the rear angle of the shoe ( 18 ), in order to ensure the rotation of the foot in the transverse plane, lateral displacement ( 22 ), in a rotational maneuver. 
     
     
         6 - Transverse studs, according to  claim 1  characterized by the studs ( 1  and  4 ) having heights (H and H′) defined in accordance with the type of sport and type of soil, attachable to the bottom sole ( 7 ) of a sports shoe ( 8 ) by means of a threaded element ( 23  or  24 ), in order to allow for its replacement. 
     
     
         7 - Transverse studs, according to  claim 1  with a number of studs ( 1  or  4 ) that can be distributed on the forefoot ( 13 ) and the number of studs ( 14  and  15 ) that can be distributed on the rear foot ( 14 ) be able to vary. 
     
     
         8 - Transverse studs, according to  claim 1  characterized by the studs ( 10 ,  11 ,  12 ,  14  and  15 ) being fixed directly on the sole without being threaded. 
     
     
         9 - Transverse studs, characterized by being in the form of curved strips ( 25 ), distributed in the forefoot ( 26 ) and curved strips ( 27 ) also distributed in the hindfoot ( 28 ) that allow the rotation of the forefoot ( 26 ) and the hindfoot ( 28 ). 
     
     
         10 - Transverse studs, according to  claim 1 , characterized by the strips containing the same basic shape as the previously shown studs, and allowing lateral displacement ( 29  and  30 ).
