Title:
MOUNTING CONNECTOR FOR A CLEAT
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2009/114789
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
A mounting connector for a cleat includes a noncircular and/or asymmetrical base and a cleat engagement member. The noncircular base may define a perimeter having a truncated edge which renders the base asymmetrical about the axis of the cleat engagement member. The system may further include a cleat configured to mate with the cleat engagement member. The base positions the cleat engagement member (and thus the cleat and/or the cleat center axis) at a maximum distance from the shoe's center of rotation. This, in turn, provides a wider performance track, improving the stability of the shoe.
