Abstract
An anti-skidding device for shoes including an elastic member that surrounds the vamp portion of a shoe and being urged upwardly thereon due to the inclined taper of its vamp, and a series of chain segments whose ends are attached to the elastic member and being arranged for draping under the shoe heel and sole to prevent slipping upon the ice during inclement weather.
Claims6
In an anti-skidding device for use in cooperating with the shoe vamp and its sole and heel part for preventing the user from slipping on the ground during inclement weather, comprising, chain means providing for embracing the underside of the sole and useful for abrasively contacting the ground, said chain means comprising a pair of chain segments, an elastic means encircling the upper shoe vamp and being biased upwardly due to the inclined taper of said shoe vamp, the ends of each chain segment being attached to the elastic means at a position approximately laterally of the shoe vamp, a link attaching the pair of chain segments together at a location proximate the underside of the shoe sole, another chain segment attaching to the elastic means approximately laterally of the upper shoe and for embracing the underside of the shoe heel, and the upward bias of said elastic means upon said shoe vamp effecting a constant draw of the chain segments to sustain their contiguous embracement against the underside of the shoe.
In an anti-skidding device for use in cooperating with the shoe vamp and its sole and heel parts for preventing the user from slipping on the ground during inclement weather, comprising, chain means provided for embracing the underside of the sole and useful for abrasively contacting the ground, second chain means provided for embracing the underside of the heel part and useful for abrasively contacting the ground, an elastic means encircling the upper shoe vamp and being biased upwardly due to the inclined taper of the said shoe vamp, the ends of said chain means and second chain means being attached to said elastic means approximately laterally of the shoe vamp, and the upward bias of said elastic means upon said shoe vamp effecting a constant draw of the said chain means and second chain means to sustain their contiguous embracement against the underside of the shoe.
