Title: Self cleaning golf spikes
Inventor: BECKENHAM PETER CHARLES
IPC: A43B5/00
Filed: 2007-04-25
Abstract: Self cleaning golf spikes, comprises a spike plate B, a cover plate A with apertures for the spikes, and a spring C located between the cover plate A and the spike plate B. The cover plate A is secured to the spike plate B in a manner that allows the cover plate A to move along the spikes when pressure is applied to the cover plate. For example, when a golfer puts weight onto his foot, the cover plate A retracts, allowing the spikes to protrude through the cover plate A and provide grip to the wearer, upon lifting his foot, the sprung cover plate A removes grass and mud that has built up on the spikes as the cover plate A is pushed away from the spike plate B by the spring C. The self cleaning golf spikes may replace normal golf studs for use with existing golf shoes. The self cleaning spike may be made from a light alloy or plastic.
