Abstract

Disclosed are chain-type crampons for preventing mountain-climbing boots from being slipped on a snowy road or icy road when climbing a mountain. The crampons having an elastic band and chains mounted on the band are provided with a plurality of spikes and link rings, so that a brake power on the snowy road or icy road is increased and snow is not adhered to the crampons.

Claims (11)

1. Chain-type crampons provided with spikes, in which an elastic band is adapted to be bound around an outsole of mountain-climbing boots, and chains are coupled to the band as an anti-skid member, the crampons comprising:

a front spike, a center spike, and a rear spike, respectively, positioned to be disposed at a front portion, a center portion, and a rear portion of a bottom surface of the boots when the elastic band is bound around the outsole of the boots, said spikes being formed with a plurality of spike edges;

lateral spikes disposed forward between the front spike and the center spike, wherein the front spike, center spike, rear spike and lateral spikes are each operatively engaged to the chain via coupling rings;

link rings each engaged to the front spike, the lateral spikes, and the center spikes; and

a curved restraining bar coupled to at least two chains of the chain and operatively coupled to the front spike, the curved restraining bar being engaged with a front of the boots when the elastic band is bound around the outsole of the boots.

2. The crampons as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the front spike, the center spike, and the rear spike, respectively, are formed with fastening holes at both lateral ends and a center portion thereof, and the front spike, the center spike, and the rear spike are bent at the side thereof to integrally form the spike edges.

3. Chain-type crampons provided with spikes in which an elastic band is adapted to be bound around an upper portion of an outsole of mountain-climbing boots and extend from a front portion to a rear portion of the boot when bound around the boot, and chains are coupled to the band as an anti-skid member, the crampons comprising:

a plurality of spikes that are operatively coupled to the elastic band via chains and positioned to be disposed at a front portion, a center portion, a rear portion, and both sides between the front portion and the center portion on a bottom surface of the boots when the elastic band is bound around the outsole of the boots, wherein the spikes are bent downwardly to form at least one spike edge, and are formed with a plurality of fastening holes.

4. The crampons as claimed in claim 3 , wherein the band is formed with fixing portions of a circular ring shape for coupling the chains.

5. The crampons as claimed in claim 4 , wherein the chains have a fixing ring.

6. The crampons as claimed in claim 3 , wherein the spikes have a triangular shape, and are formed with a plurality of fastening holes, and wherein any one of three corners of the triangle is downwardly bent to form a spike edge.
