REMOVABLE TRACTION CLEAT WITH REINFORCED RADIAL SUPPORT

摘要

The invention relates to traction cleats for shoes, and in particular to removable golf cleats used in golf and other field sports. The removable cleat has an improved flange (30, 40) design providing a rigid metal surface sufficiently close to the convex side of the reinforced radial support member to effectively engage the pins of the insertion and removal wrench. In a preferred embodiment, the flange member of the cleat has a raised lip (31) on the concave side in the areas immediately surrounding the wrench holes (12) so that the metal at the edges of the holes protrudes towards the convex surface of the radial support member. In another embodiment, eyelets (41) are inserted into the wrench holes and crimped over the edges of the holes.
