Claims
- 1. A stud for an article of footwear comprising stud-mounting means enabling the stud to be secured in the underside of the article, a ground-engaging nose which projects from said stud-mounting means, and a wear-resistant lamina which is held secured to overlie undersurfaces of said stud-mounting means and shield them from engagement with the ground,
- said stud-mounting means comprising a first portion forming an externally screw-threaded spigot and a molded plastics second portion forming a broad flange which extends about said spigot and is arranged to engage undersurfaces of the article when said spigot is secured in the underside of the article, and
- said wear-resistant lamina overlying undersurfaces of said plastics flange to shield them from the ground and being interlocked with said stud-mounting means to enable torque to be transmitted from said lamina to said stud-mounting means in securing the stud in an article of footwear,
- the ground-engaging nose being of a hard wear-resistant material and being secured to said stud-mounting means by means of a metal stump which projects from the stud-mounting means, the nose being recessed to fit over the stump.
- 2. A stud according to claim 1 in which a metal stem extends through the plastics flange, an end portion of the stem comprising the stump (24).
- 3. A stud according to claim 2 in which the stem (22) extends right through the stud-mounting means (11) and an upper end portion (23) is out-turned for securement of the stud-mounting means (11) between the out-turned portion (23) and the nose (20).
- 4. A stud according to claim 1 in which the stump (24) comprises a portion of tapering form which is engaged in a similarly tapering portion (27) of the recess (26) in the nose (20).
- 5. A stud according to claim 4 in which an entry portion (29) of the recess (26) in the nose (20) is of parallel-sided form to receive a portion (22) of the stump (24) of corresponding parallel-sided form, to ensure accurate co-axial alignment of the nose on the stump.
- 6. A stud according to claim 1 in which said first portion of paid stud-mounting means forming an externally screw-threaded spigot is of molded plastics and formed integrally with said molded plastics second portion forming a broad flange.
- 7. A stud for an article of footwear comprising stud-mounting means enabling the stud to be secured in the underside of the article, a ground-engaging nose which projects from said stud-mounting means, and a wear-resistant lamina which is held secured to overlie undersurfaces of said stud-mounting means and shield them from engagement with the ground,
- said stud-mounting means comprising a first portion forming an externally screw-threaded spigot and a molded plastics second portion forming a broad flange which extends about said spigot and is arranged to engage undersurfaces of the article when said spigot is secured in the underside of the article, and
- said wear-resistant lamina overlying undersurfaces of said plastics flange to shield them from the ground and being interlocked with said stud-mounting means to enable torque to be transmitted from said lamina to said stud-mounting means in securing the stud in an article of footwear,
- said wear-resistant lamina being rotationally interlocked with the plastics flange to enable torque to be transmitted from the lamina to the plastics flange in inserting and removing the stud,
- said wear-resistant lamina having keying formations enabling a suitable torque-transmitting tool to be applied to the stud.
- 8. A stud according to claim 7 in which portions of the wear-resistant lamina (30) are interposed between the nose (20) and the stud-mounting means (11).
- 9. A stud according to claim 8 in which the lamina (30) is held secured against the stud-mounting means (11) by the nose (20).
- 10. A stud according to claim 7 in which the lamina (30) is of metal.
- 11. A stud according to claim 7 in which said keying formations include portions projecting toward and engaging said plastics flange for rotationally interlocking said wear-resistant lamina and said plastics flange.
- 12. A stud according to claim 7 in which said plastics flange is provided with a plurality of downwardly opening recesses, and said keying formations include openings in said wear-resistant lamina aligned with said recesses.
- 13. A stud according to claim 12 in which the openings in said wear-resistant lamina are surrounded by integral, upwardly projecting lips, said lips projecting into and interlockingly engaging with said recesses.
- 14. A stud according to claim 7 in which said first portion of said stud-mounting means forming an externally screw-threaded spigot is of molded plastics and formed integrally with said molded plastics second portion forming a broad flange.
