Stud for outsole, outsole for cleated shoe, method for producing outsole, and cleated shoe
A stud for an outsole includes: an outer tubular portion located on an outsole body and having a tubular shape; and a core portion located inside the outer tubular portion. The outer tubular portion is integral with the outsole body with no seam between the outer tubular portion and the outsole body. An inner wall surface of the outer tubular portion surrounds, and is in contact with, a side surface of the core portion. This configuration reduces separation of the stud from the outsole and firmly holds the stud on the outsole.
1. A stud for an outsole for a cleated shoe, comprising:
an outer tubular portion located on the outsole and having a tubular shape; and
a core portion located inside the outer tubular portion and extending in the same direction of the outer tubular portion, wherein;
the outer tubular portion is integral with the outsole with no seam between the outer tubular portion and the outsole,
an inner wall surface of the outer tubular portion surrounds, and is in contact with, a side surface of the core portion,
the core portion comprises at least one corner configured to correspond to a retaining structure that restrains the core portion from slipping out of the tubular portion, and
a radial size of the core portion is the largest at the corner, such that the radial size of the core portion gradually decreases in a direction upward and in a direction downward relative to the corner.
2. The stud of claim 1 , wherein
each of the outer tubular portion and the core portion is made of a resin material, and
the inner wall surface of the outer tubular portion and the side surface of the core portion are fused to each other.
3. The stud of claim 1 , wherein
the outer tubular portion has a smallest thickness at its lower end.
4. The stud of claim 1 , wherein
a lower end of the core portion is exposed from a lower end of the outer tubular portion.
5. The stud of claim 1 , wherein
the core portion includes a mold installation structure that is used to place the core portion in a mold device for producing the outsole, and
the mold installation structure includes
a first recess located in an upper part of the core portion, and
a second recess located in a lower part of the core portion.
6. An outsole for a cleated shoe, comprising at least one of the studs of claim 1 .
7. The outsole of claim 6 , further comprising an outsole body, wherein
the stud is located on a bottom of the outsole body, and
the outer tubular portion is integral with the outsole body with no seam between the outer tubular portion and the outsole body.
8. A cleated shoe, comprising the outsole of claim 6 .
9. A cleated shoe, comprising the outsole of claim 7 .
