  • Publication number: 20170150782
    Abstract: An outsole of a shoe includes: a plurality of ridges having a tread surface to be in contact with a road surface; and at least one longitudinal groove defined between the plurality of ridges. At least in a partial area of each of a forefoot portion and a rear foot portion on a medial side of a foot, the plurality of ridges and the longitudinal groove extend in a longitudinal direction or a diagonal longitudinal direction and are set so that an angle of the ridges and that of the longitudinal groove with respect to a long axis of the outsole are in a range of 0° to 35°. A ratio of a length of the tread surface of the ridges with respect to a width of the tread surface is set to be 1.8 to 200. The width of the tread surface of the ridges is set to be greater than a width of the longitudinal groove by a factor of 2 to 100.

  • Patent number: 6632333
    Abstract: The invention relates to a device for separating metal deposit from a mother plate used as a cathode in an electrolytic process, as metal electrorefining or metal electrowinning, in which device there is a supporting member for supporting the cathode to be treated, a member for releasing at least partly a metal deposit grown during the electrolytic process on a surface of the mother, and a member for support the released metal deposit. According to the invention the mother plate of a cathode (1, 21, 31, 41, 51) is provided with a growth affecting means (16, 24, 36, 43, 53) for creating an irregularity in the growth of the metal deposit (4) to be used as a hinged member when the metal deposit (4) is tilted to the mother plate of the cathode (1, 21, 31, 41, 51) in order to break the metal deposit (4) in two separate pieces along the irregularity in the growth.
