Abstract

An anti-slip overshoe has a contoured outer band and first gripping pad and second gripping pad disposed interior to the contoured outer band for enhanced traction. A web structure connects the first gripping pad and second gripping pad to the contoured outer band. A plurality of gripping devices is attached to the first gripping pad and second gripping pad for enhanced traction on natural surfaces. The gripping devices includes a body, button extending from a first end of the body, plurality of spikes disposed around a perimeter of the body, and central spike extending from a second end of the body. A neck is disposed around the body between the button and spikes. The spikes include a traction arm, plurality of edges formed along the traction arm, and concave surface between a first edge and second edge along the traction arm.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed: 
     
         1 . A golf oriented footwear, comprising:
 a footwear structure; and   a plurality of gripping devices attached to the footwear structure, the gripping devices including,
 (a) a body including a plurality of spikes disposed around a perimeter of the body for traction, 
 (b) a neck extending from the body, and 
 (c) a button extending from the neck opposite the spikes. 
   
     
     
         2 . The golf oriented footwear of  claim 1 , wherein the button is detachably coupled to the neck. 
     
     
         3 . The golf oriented footwear of  claim 1 , wherein the spikes include:
 a traction arm; and   a plurality of edges formed along the traction arm.   
     
     
         4 . The golf oriented footwear of  claim 3 , wherein the traction arm further includes a concave surface formed between a first edge and second edge along the traction arm. 
     
     
         5 . The golf oriented footwear of  claim 3 , wherein the traction arm includes an angle ranging from 20 to 60 degrees. 
     
     
         6 . The golf oriented footwear of  claim 1 , wherein the body includes 6-10 spikes disposed around the perimeter of the body. 
     
     
         7 . The golf oriented footwear of  claim 1 , wherein the body includes a material selected from a group consisting of flexible polymer, polycarbonate, graphite, fiberglass, nylon, tungsten carbide, fibrous polyvinylchloride, and metal. 
     
     
         8 . A gripping device, comprising:
 a body including a plurality of spikes disposed around a perimeter of the body, the spikes each including a traction arm with a plurality of edges formed along the traction arm and a concave surface between a first edge and second edge of the traction arm; and   a neck extending from the body.   
     
     
         9 . The gripping device of  claim 8 , wherein the traction arm includes an angle ranging from 20 to 60 degrees. 
     
     
         10 . The gripping device of  claim 8 , wherein the body includes 6-10 spikes disposed around the perimeter of the body. 
     
     
         11 . The gripping device of  claim 8 , wherein the body includes a material selected from a group consisting of flexible polymer, polycarbonate, graphite, fiberglass, nylon, tungsten carbide, fibrous polyvinylchloride, and metal. 
     
     
         12 . The gripping device of  claim 8 , further including a central spike extending from the body. 
     
     
         13 . The gripping device of  claim 8 , further including a button extending from the neck opposite the spikes. 
     
     
         14 . A gripping device, comprising:
 a body including a plurality of spikes disposed around a perimeter of the body, the spikes each including a traction arm and plurality of edges formed along the traction arm; and   a neck extending from the body.   
     
     
         15 . The gripping device of  claim 14 , wherein the traction arm further includes a concave surface formed between a first edge and second edge along the traction arm. 
     
     
         16 . The gripping device of  claim 14 , wherein the traction arm includes an angle ranging from 20 to 60 degrees. 
     
     
         17 . The gripping device of  claim 14 , wherein the body includes 6-10 spikes disposed around the perimeter of the body. 
     
     
         18 . The gripping device of  claim 14 , wherein the body includes a material selected from a group consisting of flexible polymer, polycarbonate, graphite, fiberglass, nylon, tungsten carbide, fibrous polyvinylchloride, and metal. 
     
     
         19 . The gripping device of  claim 14 , further including a button extending from the neck opposite the spikes. 
     
     
         20 . A method of making a gripping device, comprising:
 forming a body including a plurality of spikes disposed around a perimeter of the body, the spikes each including a traction arm and plurality of edges formed along the traction arm; and   forming a neck extending from the body.   
     
     
         21 . The method of  claim 20 , further including forming the traction arm to include a concave surface between a first edge and second edge along the traction arm. 
     
     
         22 . The method of  claim 20 , wherein the traction arm includes an angle ranging from 20 to 60 degrees. 
     
     
         23 . The method of  claim 20 , wherein the body includes 6-10 spikes disposed around the perimeter of the body. 
     
     
         24 . The method of  claim 20 , wherein the body includes a material selected from a group consisting of flexible polymer, polycarbonate, graphite, fiberglass, nylon, tungsten carbide, fibrous polyvinylchloride, and metal. 
     
     
         25 . The method of  claim 20 , further including forming a button extending from the neck opposite the spikes.
