Device for removing spikes from shoes
First Claim
1. A device for removing a golf spike from a golf shoe, the device enabling the application of a rotational force to the golf spike to facilitate the spike'"'"'s removal, the device comprising:
- (a) a body having a recess adapted to receive a spike portion of a golf spike when the body is positioned on the golf spike;
(b) two rigidly spaced-apart male members adapted to engage female receptacles in a golf spike, the male members having generally parallel longitudinal axes extending a first direction from the body with the recess therebetween; and
(c) two rigidly spaced-apart handles extending from the body for enabling application of a rotational force to the body,each of the handles extending from the body in a direction generally opposite the first direction, said handles being spaced apart so that said handles can be held simultaneously by one hand or can be held individually by two hands.

Abstract
Golf spikes may be removed from golf shoes with a device operable with two hands by the application of a rotational force substantially about the axis of the spike. The device may include a body with two male members adapted to engage the female receptacles in a golf spike and two rigidly spaced-apart handles, each adapted to be gripped by one hand and each having a portion directed opposite the male members. When the two handles are each gripped by one hand a rotational force may be applied to the golf spike without application of a lateral force.

6. A golf spike removal tool, comprising:
-
two parallel male members extending in a first direction and spaced apart from each other by the horizontal distance between a pair of female receptacles in a golf spike, the male members each being adapted at a first end to be received within the female receptacles; and two spaced-apart handles, each connected to one of the male members at a second end and extending from the male members in a direction generally opposite the first direction, the handles being adapted to transfer rotational motion about the handles into rotational motion about the male members when rotational motion is imparted by a single hand gripping both said handles or when rotational motion is imparted by two hands, one gripping each of said handles, the distance between said handles being fixed prior to the use of the tool. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8, 9)
