权利要求
1. Shoe attachment means comprising a base member adapted to stretchably engage said shoe, said base member having heel and toe portions and resilient means for urging said heel and toe portions toward one another when said base member stretchably engages said shoe, and a plurality of cleat means extending from one side of said base member in a direction away from said shoe.
2. A device as defined in claim 1, wherein said cleat means comprises a plurality of pointed shafts.
3. A device as defined in claim 2, wherein said base member is provided with threaded bores, and said cleat means is threaded on one end to engage said bores to attach said cleats to said base.
4. A device as dEfined in claim 3, wherein said threaded bores are located in a deformed portions of said base.
5. An adjustable attachment for shoes comprising: a. a base extending the full length of said shoe, b. said base comprising toe and heel engaging portions, respectively, and having deformed portions thereof; c. a plurality of cleat means extending from one side of said base, said plurality of cleat means being attached to said base at said deformed portions; and d. means on said base for removably attaching said base to said shoe.
6. A device as defined in claim 5 wherein said base is in the outline of the sole of the shoe.
7. A device as defined in claim 6, wherein said base and said cleats are of materials which can be welded together.
8. A device as defined in claim 5, including attachment means comprising an extending portion on the front of said base to engage the toe of the shoe.
9. A device as defined in claim 8, wherein said attachment means engages the toe portion of the sole.
10. A device as defined in claim 8 wherein said attachment means further comprises a heel engaging portion.
11. A device as defined in claim 10 wherein said heel engaging portion comprises a clamping member which is movable with respect to said base, an upstanding portion on said base, and an actuation means on said base for moving said clamping member to engage said heel.
12. A device as defined in claim 10 wherein said actuation means comprises a drive screw means in threaded engagement with said upstanding member and contacting said clamping member.
13. A device as defined in claim 11 wherein said clamping member is U-shaped.
14. A device as defined in claim 10 wherein said heel engaging portion is adjustable to attach to heels of various thicknesses.
15. A device for attachment to the bottom of a shoe or the like comprising a base of thin flexible material having a plurality of cleat means extending from one side of said base, said base having heel and toe portions, resilient means linking said heel and toe portions, first means on said toe portion for attaching said toe portion to the sole of said shoe, second means on said heel portion for attaching the heel portion to the sole of said shoe, said heel and toe portions being linked by said resilient means so that when said device is attached to said toe said resilient means is stretched and exerts a resilient force to hold said device on said shoe.
16. A device as defined in claim 15 wherein said first means is an extending portion engaging the sole of said shoe.
17. A device as defined in claim 15 wherein said second means is a strap and buckle assembly which fits over said shoe and buckles to the required length.
18. A device for attachment to the sole of a shoe or the like comprising: a base of thin flexible material extending the length of the shoe, said base being provided with threaded bores located in deformed portions thereof, said base further having cleat means defined by a plurality of pointed shafts extending from one side of said base in a direction away from said sole, said cleat means being threaded on one end to engage said threaded bores to attach said cleat means to said base, and means on said base for removably attaching said base to said shoe.
