摘要:
The present invention is directed toward a crampon for use with a shoe to provide enhanced traction with the ground. The crampon comprises at least one sole member removably interconnected to the shoe and disposed adjacent a sole thereof. The sole member comprises at least one cavity extending at least partially therethrough. At least one traction element for gripping the ground is removably interconnected to the sole member.

Snowshoes are provided which include a footwear supporting plate, a front binding device and a rear binding device. The plate has a lattice-like, essentially flat configuration formed by a plurality of hollow prismatic structures partially superimposed on one another. The main axis (x) of each hollow prismatic structure may be inclined by an angle (α) between 20° and 70° relative to a middle plane of the plate, in such a manner that lower edges of the hollow prismatic structures form sharp edges which allow the plate to grip snow and inner surfaces of the hollow prismatic structures offer high resistance to penetration into snow allowing for the distribution of weight of a user over a wide contact surface, thereby ensuring good floatability.

A footwear element includes a sole assembly extending along an extension direction between opposite front and rear ends; a flexible upper includes a lower portion adjoining the sole assembly and configured to receive a shoe of a user, and an upper portion extending from the lower portion away from the sole assembly; and a fastening element configured to cooperate with a locking mechanism provided on the apparatus for reversibly retaining the footwear element on the apparatus. The fastening element is removably mounted on the footwear element.

An ice spike comprises a fixing clamp attached to the fixed rear part of the armature and having a cross-bar designed to latch directly onto a rear rim of the sole. The front part of the armature comprises stop means to wedge the front of the shoe in the longitudinal direction. A strapping system is provided with at least one safety lanyard arranged to press the shoe against the bearing surface. After lengthwise adjustment of the strip has been performed according to the shoe size, fitting the shoe does not require any variation of distance between the rear fixing clamp and the front stop means.

There are two assemblies in the binding, a harness assembly and an attachment assembly. The harness assembly attaches to a ski boot and has a toe fitting which fits over the toe of the boot and has a flat metal plate contacting the toe portion of the sole of the boot. Four sharp pointed posts extend downward from the plate. Each post has a groove near its base, perpendicular to the axis of the post. The attachment assembly attaches to the ski and has latch bars which engage the grooves in the posts to attach the attachment assembly and ski to the harness and ski boot. One latch bar is spring loaded toward the other and as the posts are inserted onto the attachment assembly the spring loaded bar is moved to allow the posts to pass. When the posts are fully inserted the spring loaded bar moves to capture the posts. There is a lever operated cam at the forward end of the attachment assembly which is used to separate the latch bars to enable detaching the ski from the harness. With the ski and attachment assembly removed, the sharp posts serve the crampon function.

A crampon binding for convenient installation on mountaineers' crampons comprises a cooperative assembly of various sizes of neoprene elongated extensioners each especially contoured and equipped with centerline openings, to be adjustable folded over longitudinally, to extend from the sides of mountaineers' boots adjacent the sole edges up alongside the boot to the lacing eyelets or lacing hooks, to serve as tension members carrying the binding loads. When installed they are folded over conventional securement rings already secured to conventional small uprights spaced about coventional crampons. Their adjustable folded over longitudinal length is maintained upon installing aluminum screw posts, with their respective aluminum locking washer, through their selected aligned centerline openings. The contour of these extensioners provides progressively wider portions to contact the mountaineer's boot to more uniformly distribute the compression binding loads into the boot. At their upper ends aluminum dee rings are secured to the neoprene extensioners by using steel clips, neoprene clip backers or tabs, aluminum rivets, and aluminum backing washers. At least one toe located neoprene extensioner is optionally, without the installation of a dee ring, instead being threadedly secured to the end of a continuous webbed lacing, and at least one heel located neoprene extensioner is optionally, without the installation of a dee ring, instead receiving a steel alligator buckle, which is secured by using a neoprene folded over buckle tab, aluminum rivets, and aluminum backing washers. Preferably a nylon like fabric webbed lacing completes the cooperative assembly and is optionally threadably secured to a toe located neoprene extensioner and is long enough to be laced: diagonally across to a neoprene extensioner positioned at the ball of the foot locale along the boot: back directly across the boot to the opposite neoprene extensioner positoned at the ball of the foot locale; then diagonally forward to the other neoprene extensioner at the toe locale; thereafter diagonally back to the upper end of the neoprene extensioner secured at the heel locale; and then directly across the boot to be secured at the optionally installed alligator buckle on the upper end of the other neoprene extensioner secured, at the heel locale of the mountaineers' boot, to the mountaineers' conventional crampon.

The invention relates to an ice-crampon wherein the spikes or nails disposed under the boot sole are arranged along two rectilinear rows, one on the inner side and the other on the outer side of the boot.

A roofing shoe traction chassis system has a roofing shoe traction chassis with a toe strap, foot strap and heel strap coupled thereto for securing a shoe to the chassis. The chassis also has a detachable traction sheet configured for attachment to the base of the roofing shoe chassis. The roofing shoe traction chassis can be quickly donned over a pair of shoes allowing a user to wear a more comfortable and better ventilated shoe. The detachable traction sheet can be changed out as the traction layer is worn. An exemplary roofing shoe traction chassis has a strap support that extends up from a support plate and has a toe strap and foot strap aperture to receive and retain the toe and heel straps respectively. The support plate may also have post apertures for receiving and retaining heel strap posts.
