Patent number: 4430810Abstract: The invention relates to an outsole for sports shoes, particularly for shoes used for long-distance running on hard tracks. The outsole consists of a soft elastically flexible material, preferably plastics material, and is thickened rearwardly in wedge formation. In the region of the heel tread surface of the outsole, there is provided a recess which is open towards both side edges of the sole and in which a resilient elongate supporting member is fittingly insertable. Preferably a plurality of supporting members are inserted in corresponding recesses adjacent one another. The supporting members are replaceable and permit the effective sole flexibility in the region of the heel tread surface to be adapted to the individual requirements of the runner and the track.Type: GrantFiled: July 29, 1981Date of Patent: February 14, 1984Assignee: Adidas Sportschuhfabriken Adi Dassler KGInventor: Alfred Bente

Patent number: 4366632Abstract: The invention is with respect to a gripping element for athletic and sporting footwear, as for example for football footwear. The gripping element takes the form of a bell, which is made of an elastically yielding material so that the downwardly facing edge of the gripping element may be bent when the element is forced against the ground by the weight of the user. For this reason, the gripping element is such that it may be used not only on soft, but furthermore on hard, as for example frozen ground. More specially, the gripping element may be made part of a compound structure, with a conventional cleat within it, such a structure having better gripping powers, more specially in the case of soft, sponge-like ground.Type: GrantFiled: February 5, 1981Date of Patent: January 4, 1983Assignee: adidas Sportschuhfabriken Adi Dassler KGInventor: Alfred Bente

Patent number: 4309834Abstract: The invention relates to a cross country ski boot comprising a front sole extension by which it is fixed in a ski binding. At its front edge, the front sole extension comprises at least one forwardly open recess of which the lateral flanks come to lie closely against a supporting element of the ski binding upstanding substantially perpendicular to the upper surface of the ski. This provides additional retention of the ski boot in the ski binding helping to avoid play and resultant wobbling of the sole extension in the ski binding.Type: GrantFiled: February 20, 1980Date of Patent: January 12, 1982Assignee: Adidas Sportschuhfabriken Adi Dassler KGInventor: Alfred Bente
