Figure 25 is the bottom view of another embodiment.

With reference to each accompanying drawing, Fig. 4 is 10 a bottom view at the bottom of the preferred boots boots of the present invention, and 10 have first array 12 that is arranged at the bottom of the boots on 10 the boots palm 13 and the many prominent nail 11 in second array 14 of 10 boots at the bottom of the boots on 15 at the bottom of the boots.

In this and subsequently each embodiment, shown prominent nail 11 is 10 integrally formed at the bottom of with boots with molded or similar forming process.But, on each prominent nail 11 also can be respectively fixed at the bottom of the boots by fastener or screw or pin socket device.These characteristics and relation of the present invention are not close, thereby do not describe in detail.

Referring to figs. 1 to 3, it will be appreciated that the form of each prominent nail 11 is the solid 16 with first axle A-A and second axis B-B.The second axis B-B can meet at right angles with axis A-A, but is not must be so.Investigation is along the drawing in side sectional elevation of axis A-A, and solid 16 has an inclined-plane 17 of guiding to prominent nail 11 crowns 19 from boots basal surface 18 at each end of axis A-A.Inclined-plane 17 is divided into and surface 18 adjacent recess 17a and the protuberance 17b adjacent with crown 19.Prominent nail 11 is long along first axle A-A, and is short along the second axis B-B.From the cross section (Fig. 3) along axis B-B, prominent nail entity 16 has formed steep prevention face 20 in a side, is formed with not too steep prevention face 21 at its opposite side.In the plan view of reversing, prevention face 20 can be open and flat, as shown recessed like that slightly or protruding slightly.Prevention face 21 generally is a convex surface.

Prominent nail 17 along the length of axis A-A with along the width (on the comparable plane under the surface 18) of axis B-B such as being about 3: 1 shown in Fig. 1 to 3.This ratio can change to 10: 1 from 1: 1, but is best in 2: 1 to 5: 1 scopes, has provided this balance to the best between the contradiction of required grasp and intrinsic strength." highly " of prominent nail 11, i.e. vertical range the minimum point from surface 18 to prominent nail 11 crowns 19, with the width of prominent nail on surperficial 18 planes be about 1: 1.3 like that such as illustrated.But can change to 1: 3 from 1: 0.7.Best scope is from 1: 1 to 1: 2.

Should be realized that prominent nail 11 is along being " streamline " shape on each direction of axis A-A,, when penetrating ground surface, certainly will be easy to slip over this ground, and on this ground, cause ditch or groove when firmly when axis A-A is walked.In such walking, the contact between prominent each face of nail will help to wipe the prominent ground material, particularly regular meeting that nails on and be accumulated in prevention face 20 and near 21 ground materials (as earth or grass).These prevention faces just keep not having barrier like this.When along the direction of B-B axis to prominent nail 11 firmly the time, the effect of steep prevention face 20,21 is to make prominent nail 11 ground surface promptly securely, and the person slips to prevent to wear boots.

Fig. 4 shows one group of prominent nail 11 situation that are arranged in two

arrays

12 and 14, and the boots palm at boots 10 is caught up with at boots for second.Because it is injured that boots with seldom rotating, can cause hardly, so boots are not particular importances with array 14.And the boots that discussed the front " is fixed " problem that ground surface may cause ankle injury, mainly divides relevant with the boots metacarpus.Fig. 4 shows that the prominent nail that the boots metacarpus divides is arranged in

several circles

22,23,24 (each is as above-mentioned definition) around the center that boots are slapped.The axis A-A of prominent nail 11 is to align along

circle

22,23,24, and makes steeper surface 20 side within it.The circle here is circular, but oval-shaped, and circles avette or other shapes also are fine.Circle 22 is complete, and circle 23 is complete substantially, and circle 24 only is partly.The effect of prominent nail such configuration in array 12 is that the rotation that makes boots center on boots palm core is more prone to, and does not weaken the relatively surperficial resistance that moves linearly of the boots palm simultaneously again.

Fig. 5,6 and 7 show 25,26 second kinds of prominent nails and the third possible shape.Prominent nail 25 rectangular bulk or foliaceous have flat skewed surface 27 at its two ends.Long axis A-A is a straight line.Prominent nail 26 (Fig. 6) are similar to prominent nail 25, but crooked axis A-A is arranged.

Fig. 8 to 12 shows the 4th kind and the 5th kind of

prominent nail

28 and 29, is their interior prevention face 30,31 with prominent 11 the main difference of following closely, and these prevention faces are straight, and can protrude a little separately.Prominent nail 28 along axis B-B symmetry as shown in figure 12, these two kinds prominent nails all have as shown in figure 10 profile along axis A-A.

Figure 13 is similar to Fig. 4, but demonstrates the

prominent nail array

32,33 after the change that boots are slapped and boots are caught up with.

Figure 14 and 15 shows the 6th kind of prominent nail, and it is all symmetrical along axis A-A and B-B.When it was used in the preferred cast array of Fig. 4 and 13, this prominent nail and other prominent nails described herein were similar, can obtain promptly and self-cleaning function.If but be not configured to a kind of like this array format, can prominent nail obtain these needed functions and just be a problem very much.

Figure 16 to 18 shows the prominent nail 35 of the 7th kind of shape, and its shape and Fig. 5's is similar, and length is smaller with the ratio of width.

Figure 19,20,20a shows a kind of prominent nail 36, its general shape is similar to the shape of Fig. 1 to 3, but it is about 1.5: 1 along the length of A-A axis and ratio along the width of B-B axis, and have only a prevention face 37.This prominent nail 36 has only when in direction motion of B-B axis and could firmly grasp effectively.

Figure 21 and 22 is schematic diagrames, and another advantage of such arranged in arrays of the prominent nail of the present invention is described when prominent nail 38 obviously is asymmetric with axis B-B (for example prominent nail of Fig. 1 to 3 and Figure 19 to 20a).In these cases, prevention face 39 is the inboards at each circle.With reference to Figure 22, it shows that oolemma has the conventional boots 40 of the prominent nail 41 in steep limit to be in the athletic performance that contacts with ground surface 42, and its component motion is then on direction shown in the arrow 43.In this case, upstream prominent nail 41a may at first contact with ground surface 42 and dig ground surface and at first firmly grasp, and makes boots tilt along its upstream edge 44, cause unstable and possibility injured.If the prominent nail 38a that at first comes in contact in Figure 21 does not work the effect of firmly grasping, prominent nail 38b touches and firmly grasps guidance surface 38b up to the downstream but trend towards sliding.This means that grasp or brake force are to be added to the boots palm at 45 places, edge near boots palm downstream, this has just reduced the trend that it is tilted.Guaranteed promptly, but avoided unexpected firmly grasping and inclination.

The present invention is not limited to above-mentioned each accurate details, but can carry out various modifications to it.Boots for example of the present invention can have some prominent nails rather than all the shape of prominent nail accord with and describe here and illustrated prominent nail.For example the prominent nail that divides at the boots metacarpus can be according to the present invention, and the prominent nail of boots heel can be conventional form.Many other variations all are feasible.

By the present invention disclosed herein, a kind of sport footwear might be provided, wherein, the formation of prominent nail and configuration can also provide in any one direction of linear impulse force promptly except allowing rotation.According to the included various conditions of type of sports and athletic ground, the density that prominent nail distributes and the size of prominent nail can have various variations, because the self-cleaning function of the prominent nail of the present invention, the of the present invention prominent nail number of being installed in any occasion can surpass the prominent nail of spendable routine number under analogue.

Also have, prominent nail of the present invention will allow to use lighter more soft heelpiece material when this footwear of final structure, and a kind of may the variation of beveled profile will make footwear in use produce the respective change that prevention is rotated.

Figure 24 a and 24b have shown a kind of structure, and wherein the size of prominent nail 45 can change by the top of changing it to adapt to different athletic grounds and/or various condition and/or each type games.The 45 this distortion of prominent nail have a pedestal 46, and it is in aggregates or be fixed on (not demonstration) on the footwear with footwear.There is a upright core 47 at pedestal 46 middle parts, and this core can be accepted in the groove 48 of crown 49, the shape of crown and pedestal 46 complementations, and the prominent nail that forms a kind of its shape of prominent nail and top any embodiment is similar.Pass the hole of alignment in crown 49 and the core 47 with the pin 50 of plastics or similar material, thereby maintain crown 49.Pin 50 can with this hole interference fit.

When prominent nail is removed or replaced to needs, can insert or remove pin with the small tool (not showing) of pliers one class.Can replace when prominent nail weares and teares, or replace to adapt to different surface conditions with higher or lower prominent nail.

Figure 25 is the bottom view of another kind of modification.The palm of the boots here 51 is equiped with the prominent nail of many said structures in its front portion.But the configuration like this of prominent nail 52 makes their longitudinal axis 4 radially 23 extend from the center basically.The footwear of producing have like this hindered the spherical part rotation of footwear around pin, greatly for right-handed golfer, the footwear of this spline structure can be used as the footwear of left foot, for left-handed golf sports person, the footwear of this spline structure can be used as the footwear of right crus of diaphragm, and this all is particularly advantageous.In order to reduce any directionality in when motion, prominent nail can arrange like this, makes alternately each prominent nail 52a, the more upright face of 52b about the center mutually back to.If desired, also can with a pair of back to prominent nail 54 be arranged in the toe position of footwear.

Many other variations can be arranged within the scope of the invention.
