Abstract: A sports shoe is proposed which comprises an upper and a sole, the latter having its bottom side provided with a pattern of traction assisting means for penetrating the surface of a lawn or hard court, in which the walking sole is directly bonded to the interior of the upper by injection-molding for reducing the weight and simultaneously maintaining the mechanical strength and flexibility, and only the traction assisting means project towards outside through the upper.

Abstract: There is proposed a finger protector for a sports glove, including a plate that is connected in one piece with strips to be associated to several fingers of one hand, each strip consisting of a chain of members which are connected in one piece with each other and can be moved relative to each other in two opposite directions by means of through holes extending transverse to the chain direction, and a member band with nipples which are pushed into the through holes. The invention further relates to a sports glove incorporating such finger protector.

Abstract: A sports shoe, in particular a soccer boot, comprises a sole (1) which is made of plastic and has on its underside (2) at least one carrier surface (3 to 5) which is configured raised. In each of these surfaces there are embedded at least two threaded inserts (6) that serve for receiving traction elements (7 to 10) capable of being screwed in. The shoe is characterized in that the at least one carrier surface (3 to 5) has such a geometric shape and the threaded inserts (6) in the at least one carrier surface (3 to 5) are positioned such that several interchangeable sets of different traction elements (7 to 10) are able to be screwed into the threaded inserts (6).

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a sports glove, in particular a goalie glove comprising an inward glove part made of an impact-damping material preferably based on foamed latex, and further comprising a glove upward part covering the back of the human hand and side parts connecting the glove upward and inward parts and glove intra-finger pieces, the inward glove part evincing a larger area relative to the anatomic requirements of the inside surface of the human hand. A pocket filled with a padding material and corresponding in geometry and manufacture to a human finger is mounted at the outside adjacent to the human small finger between the human small finger and a side part, and/or at the outside of the human index finger facing the thumb and/or at the thumb outside away from the human index finger.

Abstract: A sports glove, in particular a goalie glove, of which the outside of the palm material preferably is composed of a foamed latex on a textile support material. Additional impact-damping padding is mounted on the inside of the palm material facing the surface of the hand. A so-called spacer fabric designed as a three-dimensional fabric is used as the additional padding and is formed from two flat layers of cover fabrics spaced apart by a sandwiched zone of parallel erect fabric yarns extending perpendicular to the layers of the cover fabrics. In the alternative, an open-pore soft foam or a latex foam of larger thickness and lesser density than the palm material may be used as the additional padding.

Abstract: A ball casing in particular for soccer balls is composed of flat cutouts stitched together at their edges, the surface of the ball casing evincing a pattern of one group of equilateral polygonal surfaces and one group of equilateral hexagonal surfaces or three-arm star surfaces, each polygonal surface being enclosed by five hexagonal surfaces or by five three-arm star surfaces.Several equilateral polygonal surfaces or three-arm star surfaces when seen in planar geometric development form at least one integral planar and preferably stamped cutout.Each pentagonal surface is formed as a separate and preferably stamped cutout. The individual polygonal surfaces each are stitched at all five edges to the associated edges of the common planar cutout(s) containing the hexagonal surfaces or the star surfaces.
