- the publication US 6,092,306 describes a device consisting of two plates which are fixed under the sole, respectively to the front and rear ends of the sole, by means of lateral tabs which rise against the sides and against the front or respectively against the rear of the sole, to clip onto an upper edge of the sole.
- Publication DE 867 968 describes a device consisting of a single U-shaped plate which is applied in the area of the midsole between the sole and the heel and the wings of which are provided with passages for retaining straps.
- Publication US 3,713,233 describes a device consisting of a single flexible elastic plate adjoining by an extension to the underside of the heel of the shoe, this plate being able to occupy a service position in which the plate is located under the 'extension, "across the shoe, or a retracting position in which the plate is located behind the shoe with the pins hidden between the shoe and the plate.
- the extension is secured, by bonding or by manufacture, the sole of the heel and the plate is provided with wings able to be folded against the sides of the shoe and be fixed to these sides by hollow buttons passing through holes in the wings and screwed onto screws passing through perforations on the sides of the shoe.
- the subject of the present invention is in particular a device which is easy to put on and take off, effective, which contributes to giving the shoe a satisfactory appearance, without having the drawbacks of known devices.
- This is achieved according to the invention, with a device consisting of two plates (2, 3; 20, 30) designed to be placed respectively under the forefoot and under the heel, each plate being at a distance from the corresponding end.
- Said detachable fixing means is a stud to be embedded in a corresponding hole in the sole; • said detachable fixing means is a claw formed at the upper end of the fin to come into engagement with the side or the top of the sole; • the nipples include manual gripping means which facilitate their extraction from the holes in the sole; • the fins with the nipples and the claws come from manufacture with the pads; • the shoe has notches in or above the sole to receive the claws; • the sole has flats to accommodate the fins; • the holes formed in the sole are also designed to serve for ventilation of the shoe; • hollow pins are driven into said holes in the sole and said nipples are hollow rods carried by the fins and capable of being retained in said pins and extracted on demand; • these rods or some of the rods comprise a tubular body which passes through a perforation of the fin and which is pressed into the ankle and a head accessible outside the fin and which makes it possible to extract the rod from the ankle

- Figure 12 is a bottom view of the sole of a shoe for the left foot fitted with pads according to the invention.
- Figure 13 shows a variant of the plates of a device according to the invention.
- Figure 14 schematically shows a phase of the installation of the device of Figure 13 on a low shoe for left foot
- Figure 15 shows schematically a low shoe for right foot equipped with a device according to Figure 13;
- Figure 16 shows two perspective views of a rising shoe for right foot (PD) equipped with a device according to the invention, the shoe being viewed from above and from the side of the shoe;
- Figure 17 shows the same shoe as in Figure 16 but viewed from below and on the right side of the shoe;
- Figure 18 shows the same shoe as in Figures 16 and 17, during installation, and
- Figure 19 shows in perspective the two pads of the shoes of Figures 17 and 18.
- the city shoe for right foot (PD ) shown in Figures 1 to 3 is provided with two pads (2,3) pin holders, respectively under the forefoot (4) and under the heel (5), projecting on the underside of the sole S (see figure 12), away from the ends of the sole.
- the plate (2) located under the forefoot (fig. 4) has two straight longitudinal edges (2a, 2b) which form an acute angle between them. Preferably these two edges form an angle of 20 ° to 40 ° between them.
- the plate has two lateral edges (2c, 2d) which are provided with respective fins (8, 9) which are adjacent to these edges and which rise on the sides (6,7) of the sole.
- the two side edges (8,9) have unequal widths and are not parallel.
- the plate has the shape of an irregular quadrilateral whose opposite sides are neither parallel nor of the same length ( Figure 12). This shape contributes to keeping the wafer in place despite possible frontal impacts.
- the small fin (8) located against the left side of the right foot shoe (6) has a hole (10) to allow a rod (11) carried by an extension (12) fixed to the fin by a hinge (13) to pass through this hole when the extension is folded over the fin ( Figures 4 to 6).
- This rod (11) is intended to enter a dowel (14) inserted obliquely in the left side (6) of the sole.
- the stem is full or hollow.
- the small fin (8) directly carries the rod (11) which is then provided with a head (11b) which makes it possible to extract it by hand or with a tool.
- the large fin (9) carries two fixed studs (15,16) intended to enter into corresponding hollow pegs (17,18) driven into holes on the right side (7) of the sole (fig.ll).
- the small fin (8) is perpendicular to the plate while the large fin (9) is perpendicular or inclined outward relative to the plate ( Figures 3 and 4).
- the plate (3) located under the heel Preferably, the sides of the sole against wear • which the fins of the wafer have flats or notches which provide good contact of the vanes with these sides.
- FIG 12 there is shown in M the planes of the flats (6a, 7a) for the fins (8,9) of the plate (2) applied under the forefoot of the shoe for the left foot.
- the pads are designed so that the small fins are turned inward, that is to say towards the gap between the shoes, so that the user can easily start the removal of a plate by placing the corresponding foot on the other knee and then grasping the small fin to extract from the sole the fixing rod that carries this extension or, if the fin carries a removable rod, acting on the head of this rod to extract the rod from the sole to detach this fin from the sole, after which it can lift the plate and extract from the sole the pins which fixed the large fin.
- FIG. 11 is an enlarged view of a sole at the location of a ventilation hole (20) of the shoe which crosses the sole (S) at an angle and has received a hollow dowel (17) capable of receiving a hollow rod (15) for fixing the fin (9) of the plate.
- This rod has only been represented by its head (15a) visible on the outside of the fin.
- the plate and the fins are preferably made of thin metal with a thickness of at most a few millimeters. It is provided with spikes, streaks, etc., depending on the sport that will be practiced. The user can thus have a set of pads allowing the practice of different sports or to adapt to a variety of terrains.
- the longitudinal edges of the plates are straight.
- these edges can be curvilinear.
- the edges have any desired profile to facilitate the holding the plate and its resistance to frontal impacts.
- the mean axes of the curves form an acute angle between them preferably comprised in the range 20 ° to 40 °.
- Figures 13 to 20 relate to alternative embodiments. In FIG. 13, variants of plates marked (20) and (30) with their fins (80) and (90) have been shown. These plates have curvilinear longitudinal edges.
- the large fin (90) carries two studs (140) capable of being embedded in recesses in relation formed on the side of the sole which will be turned outwards (and therefore seen during walking) .
- the small fin (80) carries an upper claw (141) capable of engaging from above on the sole.
- the plate for example nylon or other synthetic material having the desired qualities of abrasion resistance and a certain flexibility, came from molding with its nipples and its claw.
- the nipples are advantageously provided with a gripping lug (not shown) which enters with them into the holes in the sole but which can be grasped to extract the nipple from the hole in the sole, similar to the connection blocks used in the computer connectivity.
- notches are formed on the sides of the shoe to receive the claws (142).
- the user proceeds as indicated above for the previous embodiment, except that after having threaded the pins of a pad into the slots provided for this purpose in the sole on one side of the shoe, it pulls on the wafer taking advantage of the flexibility of the wafer or sole, until hooking the claw on the sole, on the other side of the shoe ( Figures 14 and 15). He proceeds in a similar manner for the other shoe.
- Figure 15 shows two views of a low shoe for right foot (PD) equipped with a device according to the invention. We see that the nipples are located on the fins on the right side of the shoe facing outward while the claws are visible on the left side.
