Appl. No.:

13/312113

Inventors:

Joshua Fuller Ransom - Jersey City NJ, US
Roland Everitt Ransom - Clemmons NC, US

International Classification:

A43D 11/00
A43B 5/00

US Classification:

12146 B, 12142 R, 12142 P

Abstract:

A mixture of ester based chemicals applied to shoes for the purpose of improving performance in the normal use of the shoe. The mixture is applied to a surface of the shoes and allowed to penetrate the material forming the surface of the shoe. When applied to the sole of a shoe, the esters in the material will alter bulk properties of the shoe sole to alter the adhesion of the shoe to a traversed surface, the operative life of the shoe, the shoe performance and the shoe hardness. The mixture is especially suited for application to previously manufactured climbing shoes.

Abstract:

This application is directed to a method of treating tires so that the tires will have better performance, especially when used for racing. The method disclosed herein is especially suited for use in go kart racing, although the method can be used for other applications in which the adhesion and hardness of tires and dynamic coefficient of friction, after their manufacture is to be altered. The method also includes cleaning steps and formulations. This method involves the selective use of various esters to alter tire characteristics as desired. The esters can be used in a process in which the exterior of the tire is cleaned by esters before application of an ester based tire treatment.
