Abstract
The present invention relates to a device intended to be positioned under footgear as a walking facility and/or anti-skid means, whereby the device comprises a tread means (3) which is fastenable at the front and at the back of the footgear (2) through fore and rear anchoring members (4 and 5 respectively). In order to be adapted to shoes of various size, be firmly fastened and quickly removed in a simple manner and, after use, assume such a shape that it may be put away in any small space, e.g. a trousers-pocket, the tread means (3) is zigzag-shaped, in its normal shape substantially shorter than the footgear (2) and straightenable through elongation with regard to its zigzag-shape for increasing the length thereof, whereby said tread means is fastenable to the footgear.
Claims14
Device intended to be positioned under footgear as a walking facility and/or anti-skid means, whereby the device comprises a tread means (3) which is fastenable at the front and at the back of the footgear (2) through fore and rear anchoring members (4 and 5 respectively), characterized in that the tread means (3) is zigzag-shaped, in its normal shape substantially shorter than the footgear (2) and straightenable through elongation with regard to its zigzag-shape for increasing the length thereof, whereby said tread means is fastenable to the footgear.
Device according to claim 11, characterized by fore and rear anchoring members (4 and 5 respectively) having shanks (26, 27 and 19, 20 respectively) provided on the tread means (3) and connected to each other through connecting portions (28 and 21 respectively) which are intended to extend around respective fore and rear upwardly extending parts (32 and 34 respectively) of the footgear (2) and engage from above upper edges (30 and 23 respectively) defined by respective forwardly and rearwardly protruding parts of the footgear, whereby the distance between the shanks of at least one of said anchoring members (4 and/or 5) corresponds with or slightly exceeds the width of that part of the footgear on which the anchoring member shall be fastened and whereby said anchoring members (4 and 5) are pivotally connected to the tread means (3) and the shanks (26, 27;
- 19, 20), as seen from the side, extend with such an angle (.alpha.) in relation to the respective connecting portion (28;
- 21) that the connecting portion is pressed down against the respective upper edge (30;
- 23) of the tread means when the device (1) is fastened to the footgear (2).
