Description

LUBRICATING AGENT FOR CLEATS AND METHOD OF APPLYING THE LUBRICATING AGENT TO CLEATS
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The invention relates to a lubricating agent, such as a mold release agent, that can be applied to a traction surface of sports footwear to reduce adhesion of grass and mud to the traction surface, and a method of applying the lubricating agent to footwear. Such footwear may be football cleats or soccer cleats, for example.
BACKGROU ND OF THE INVENTION
Translational, rotational, static, and dynamic traction forces exist on the lower leg and foot during athletic play. Translational traction refers to the traction that resists the shoe's sliding across the field surface. High translational traction equates to the shoe gripping the surface and low translational traction means the shoe tends to slip on the field surface. Rotational traction refers to the traction that resists rotation of the shoe during a pivot. High rotational traction equates to a greater tendency for foot fixation during changes of direction and low rotational traction means the shoe tends to release from the field surface more easily. Static and dynamic traction represent aspects of the shoe-surface interaction. Static traction is the resistance to slid ing or pivoting when there is no movement between the shoe and the field surface. Static traction forces tend to resist the initiation of slid ing or pivoting . Dynamic traction is the resistance that occurs during a sliding or pivoting motion. Dynamic traction forces tend to resist or decelerate pivoting motions.
Although traction is necessary and desirable on the playing field surface, joint injury may occur following both excessive and inadequate traction. For example, excessive rotational traction can produce foot fixation and contribute to lower extremity injury, and inadequate linear traction may lead to decreased athletic performance. It is desirable to have a field surface with uniform, predictable characteristics. Further, it is desirable to utilize footwear with uniform, predictable characteristics. During play on field surfaces, particularly in wet and muddy conditions, in addition to obvious field surface irregularities, alterations occur in the footwear of athletes as their cleats become clogged and fouled with mud and grass debris. The mud and grass debris alter the traction afforded by the footwear and instability may result. Further, the 'feel' of the shoe to the ath lete wil l vary. These factors a lone or combined may produce injury to the athlete or decrease the athlete's performance.
U .S. Patent No. 5,832,636 to Lyden, which is incorporated by reference herein, discloses articles of footwear having traction surfaces that are composed of materials designed to reduce adhesion, for example, silicones and fluoropolymers such as Teflon. Despite this modification, given the abrasion footwear encounters over time, the traction surface may degrade and attract organic material.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
Disclosed herein is a lubricant agent that can be applied to the traction surface of footwear. The lubricant agent may be, for example, a mold release agent. When applied to the traction surface of footwear, the lubricated traction surface reduces adhesion of mud, turf, and other organic material to the traction surface, thereby enhancing the traction of the footwear as well as the performance and safety of the athlete donning the footwear.
Also disclosed herein is a method of applying nonpermanent but nevertheless long lasting and effective adhesion prevention material to the outsole and cleat base.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWING FIGU RE
The sole figure depicts the traction surface of an athletic shoe and a variety of different lubricant applicators that are each configured to apply lubricant, such as a mold release agent, to the traction surface of the athletic shoe. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWING FIGURE
The sole figure depicts an athletic shoe 10 and a variety of different lubricant applicators 12, 20 and 30 that are each configured to apply lubricant, or more generally, adhesion prevention material, to the outsole 11 of the athletic shoe 10.
The athletic shoe 10 may be a soccer cleat, a football cleat or any other type of athletic footwear. The athletic shoe 10 has an outsole 11 with projecting traction members, spikes or cleats 18 projecting at roughly 90 degrees from the genera lly planar surface 14 of the outsole 11. The plana r surface 14 and the cleats 18 together define the outsole 11, i.e. , the traction surface, of the shoe 10. Each cleat 18 includes a revolved sidewall that extends between a terminal end surface and a junction 19 at the planar surface 14. The cleats 18 may be either integral with the outsole 11 or removable (i.e., screw-in-type cleats).
Lubricating the outsole 11 of the athletic shoe reduces the adhesion of mud, turf, and other organ ic materia l to the outsole 11 of the athletic shoe 10, thereby enhancing the traction of the athletic shoe 10 as well as the performance and safety of the athlete donning the athletic shoe 10.
A variety of d ifferent lubricant applicators 12, 20 and 30, which are each configured to apply adhesion prevention material to the outsole 11 of the athletic shoe 10, are shown in the drawing figure. The applicators 12, 20 and 30 may be used in the alternative or in combination. Each of those applicators 12, 20 and 30 either contains or d ispenses an adhesion prevention materia l. Further detai ls of the adhesion prevention material are provided later.
A lubricant applicator in the form of a sponge dauber 12 may be used to coat the outsole 11 of the shoe 10, including the substantially planar surface 14, the side wall of the cleats 18, and the junction 19 between the planar surface 14 and each cleat 18, with an adhesion prevention material. It may be undesirable to coat the terminal end surfaces of the cleats 18 because doing so might make the shoe 10 slippery on a hard ground surface.
The sponge dauber 12 has a generally flat and slanted sponge head, as shown. The sponge dauber 12 is sized to be positioned between adjacent cleats 18 of the shoe 10, thereby avoiding contact with the terminal end surfaces of the cleats 18 which contact the ground. Similar to a common liquid shoe polish applicator Incorporating a sponge dauber, the sponge dauber 12 may be attached to a container 13 that is filled with adhesion prevention material so that the sponge dauber 12 is constantly wetted with adhesion prevention materia l. Alternatively, the container that stores the adhesion prevention material may be separate from the sponge dauber 12.
In use, the user first immerses the applicator portion of the sponge dauber 12 in adhesion prevention material by squeezing the container 13 of adhesion prevention material, rotating the container 13 to an inverted position, or, if the sponge dauber 12 is not fluidly connected to a container, by dipping the sponge dauber 12 in the adhesion prevention material that is stored in the separate container.
The lubricated sponge dauber 12 is then applied to the outsole 11 of the shoe 10, with the exception of the terminal end surfaces of the cleats 18, thereby coating those surfaces with adhesion prevention material. It is those surfaces of the shoe 10 that are most likely to accumulate mud, grass and other organic debris when in use. The sponge dauber 12 may a lso be applied to the terminal end surface of the cleats 18, if so desired.
A lubricant applicator in the form of a disposable wipe 20 may also be used to coat the outsole 11 with a n ad hesion prevention materia l . The wipe 20 may be impregnated with the adhesion prevention material, or the adhesion prevention materia l may be applied to the wipe 20 by a user. In use, the user applies the lubricated wipe 20 to the outsole 11 (with the exception of the terminal end surfaces of the cleats 18) to coat those surfaces with the adhesion prevention material.
The disposable wipe 20 may be composed of non-woven fabric consisting of rayon cotton, polyester, and other similar materials that is impregnated with a hydrophobic material having a low coefficient of friction and low wettability characteristics.
A lubricant applicator in the form of a spray bottle 30 may also be used to coat the outsole 11 of the shoe 10 with an adhesion prevention material. The spray bottle 30 conta ins a l iqu id -form adhesion prevention materia l . The spray bottle 30 is particularly useful for "screw in" cleats 18 that can be removed prior to spraying the outsole 11 with the adhesion prevention materia l . In this manner, spraying the "screw in" cleats 18 can be avoided. The adhesion prevention material for each of the lubricant applicators 12, 20 and 30 may vary. Generally, the adhesion prevention material is composed of a substance having a low coefficient of friction and a low wettability index that is impermanent, long lasting, and durable.
For example, the adhesion prevention material may be a mold release agent that is offered by McLube, Inc of Aston, Pennsylvania, USA. The adhesion prevention material may be composed of grease, fluoropolymer, silicone or fluorosilicone. The adhesion prevention material may also be hydrophobic.
The adhesion prevention material may be applied in a one step, air-cure method. For example, the adhesion prevention material may be a non-stick polymer that cures at room temperature as the solvent evaporates. The adhesion prevention material may also be applied in a two-step method. For example, the adhesion prevention materia l may require an add itiona l step to adequately cure, such as heating the treated shoe briefly, or by wiping the treated surface of the shoe with an additional reagent.
Althoug h th is invention has been described with reference to exemplary embodiments and variations thereof, it will be appreciated that additional variations and modifications can be made within the spirit and scope of this invention.
