Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a replaceable stud for sports shoes, particularly for soccer (European football) shoes.
  • screw couplings provide an internally threaded cylindrical washer which is embedded in the sole and in which the complementarily threaded stem of a stud is screwed by means of particular tools.
  • wings protrude radially from a stem extending axially from the base of the stud and a cylindrical seat is provided inside the sole.
  • the seat is provided, at its top, with two opposite raised portions which allow to insert the stem with said wings and to subsequently partially rotate said stud so as to engage the parts.
  • the aim of the present invention is to eliminate the disadvantages described above in known types by providing replaceable studs for sports shoes which, despite being rapidly and easily replaceable, have improved resistance to lateral stresses.
  • a consequent primary object is to provide replaceable studs that can be easily replaced directly by the user.
  • Another object is to provide replaceable studs which are easy to produce and have a modest cost.
  • Not least object is to provide replaceable studs the manufacture whereof entails no productive complications with respect to current ones and for which current systems can be used.
  • a replaceable stud for sports shoes particularly for soccer (European football) shoes, characterized in that it comprises an axial cavity in which a pin is insertable, said pin being rigidly associated with the sole of a shoe, said pin protruding from a base with an annular raised portion which encircles it coaxially, said raised portion being adapted to embrace the base of said stud, said pin having a flange the profile whereof is substantially in the shape of a circle from which two opposite circular segments have been removed, said profile being shape complementarily to the base portion of said cavity, said flange being adapted to accommodate, upon the insertion of said pin, in a middle portion of said cavity, the shape whereof allows a partial rotation of said stud with respect to said pin, providing the mutual coupling of the parts.
  • opposite radial wings extend inward from said annular raised portion and are adapted to engage, upon said partial rotation of the stud, in adapted seats of its base, providing a bayonet-like coupling.
  • a replaceable stud for sports shoes is generally indicated by the reference numeral 1 and has a substantially frustum-­shaped end portion 2 adapted to interact with the ground, a middle portion 3 shaped so as to constitute a grip element for a tool, and a cylindrical base 4 with a smaller diameter than said middle portion 3.
  • Said stud 1 is axially provided with an axial cavity 5 which extends from its base 4 to the inside of the frustum-­shaped portion 2.
  • said cavity 5 has a base portion 6 with a substantially circular profile from which two opposite circular segments are missing, and a middle portion 7 which constitutes in practice an expansion of the base portion 6, continues in the circular perimetric parts and extends into two transverse slots, respectively 8 and 9, which are open toward the outside of the base 4 and are located at the planar regions of the perimeter of said base portion 6.
  • Each slot 8 and 9 is conveniently shaped, on diametrically opposite end positions, so as to define a tooth, respectively indicated by 10 and 11, on the portion 7.
  • Said cavity 5 ends with a cylindrical end portion 12.
  • the stud 1 can be produced by injection-molding in thermoplastic materials, either monolithically or with a portion 2 constituted by a metallic insert embedded in the rest of the structure.
  • said pin 14 comprises a disk-like base 15 inserted in a complementarily shaped seat of said sole 13 on the part which is subsequently arranged internally and is closed by the mid-sole; said base is provided with radially arranged notches 16 so that it cannot be extracted or rotated.
  • Said substantially cylindrical pin 14 extends axially to said base 15 and is again axially encircled by a raised portion 17 of the sole 13 so as to define a cylindrical annular seat 18 which is equal in height to said base 4 of the stud 1.
  • Said pin 14 which is equal in height to the length of said cavity 5, is furthermore provided, in a middle region corresponding to said portion 7 of said cavity, with a flange 19 which is shaped complementarily to the profile of said portion 6 and therefore passes through said portion 6 until it accommodates in said portion 7.
  • said cavity portion 7 allows the stud 1 to rotate through approximately one quarter of a turn, as indicated by the arrows of figure 6, so that said flange locks between the slots 8 and 9 and engages the parts.
  • said raised portion 17 of the sole 13 is provided, at the top, with a planar portion 20 in which the middle portion 3 of the stud 1 rests upon coupling.
  • the stud 1 is mounted as follows: it is initially inserted on the pin 14, ensuring that the base portion 6 of the cavity 5 is arranged so as to be complementary to the flange 19, and a half-rotation of the stud is then performed by means of an appropriate tool, locking said stud.
  • Such a technical configuration allows the stud 1 to be more rigidly locked to the sole 13 than currently known types; it has in fact an improved resistance to lateral stresses, since it has both an inner grip on the pin 14 and an outer grip on the raised portion 17.
  • Its base furthermore has no sharp reductions in cross section which weaken its structure.
  • a replaceable stud for sports shoes is generally indicated by the reference numeral 101 in a second embodiment, and comprises a substantially frustum-shaped end portion 102 adapted to interact with the ground, a middle portion 103 provided with notches adapted to constitute grip elements for a rotation tool and a cylindrical base 104 which is smaller in diameter than said portion 103.
  • Said stud 101 is provided with an axial cavity 105 which extends from its base 104 to the inside of the frustum-shaped portion 102.
  • said cavity 105 has a base portion 106 which has a substantially circular profile from which two opposite circular segments are missing, and a middle portion 107 which in practice constitutes a widening of said base portion 106, continues in the circular perimetric parts and extends into transverse slots, respectively 108 and 109, which are open toward the outside of the base 104 and are located at the planar regions of the perimeter of said base portion 106.
  • each slot 108 and 109 is shaped, at diametrically opposite end positions, so as to define a tooth, respectively indicated by 110 and 111, on the portion 107.
  • Said cavity 105 ends with a cylindrical end portion 112.
  • a pin 113 rigidly associated with the sole 114 of the shoe is insertable in said cavity 105.
  • said pin 113 comprises a disk-shaped base 115 which is inserted in a complementarily shaped seat 117 of the sole 113 on the side which is subsequently closed by the mid-sole.
  • Said base 115 has four substantially L-shaped tabs 118 arranged in a cross which insert in complementarily shaped seats of the sole, preventing the rotation of said pin 113.
  • An annular raised portion 119 extends orthogonally from said disk-like base 115 and is inserted in a complementarily shaped portion of said seat 117; said raised portion has two opposite radial wings 120 and 121 adapted to engage, upon the partial rotation of the stud 101, appropriate seats 122 and 123 of its base 104, providing a bayonet-like coupling.
  • Said substantially cylindrical pin 113 extends axially from said base 115 and is again axially encircled by a raised portion 124 of the sole 114 which continues the wall of said raised portion 119 so as to define an annular seat for said base 104 of said stud 101.
  • annular top 125 of said raised portion 124 is conveniently tapered and inserts in a complementarily shaped seat 126 defined in the middle portion 103 of the stud 101 in which an annular seat 127 is also provided for a water-­tight sealing ring 128, for example of the O-ring type.
  • the pin 113 which is equal in height to the length of said cavity 105, is provided, at the middle region which corresponds to said portion 107 of the cavity, with a flange 129 which is shaped complementarily to the profile of said portion 106 and therefore passes through said portion 106 until it accommodates in said portion 107.
  • the configuration of said cavity portion 107 allows the stud 101 a rotation through approximately one quarter of a turn which corresponds to the rotation described above for the bayonet-like coupling, so that said flange locks between the slots 108 and 109 and engages the parts.
  • said flange 129 is arranged orthogonally to said wings 120 and 121, and the seats of said flange and of said wings are preset so that the two coupling systems do not interfere.
  • the stud 101 is mounted in the same way as the previous one, by inserting it in the pin 113 and rotating it until it locks.
  • the materials employed, as well as the dimensions, may be any according to the requirements.
