Abstract

A brush / scrapper device cleans dirt and debris from the soles of outdoor sports shoes, such as the cleats of golf or other such shoes. The device is a single piece frame having a body portion to which a brush is mountable and an appendage portion for engaging a bumper. The frame being a single piece bent to form the body and appendage portions and is removably mountable on the bumper of a vehicle like a golf cart without modification of the vehicle.

Such sport shoes often have cleats, spikes or other features on the bottom surface of the soles to increase traction. These traction features can be subject to the accumulation of mud, soil, turf and the like in the course of being worn. Golfing shoes are an example of such sport shoes, and have cleats on the bottom sole which are subject to the buildup of dirt and other muck between the cleats. To remove such buildup, a golfer must carry a cleat cleaning device with them, such as a brush or a scrapper. Therefore, it is desirable in the field to have available an alternative cleat cleaning device to spare the golfer from having to carry one around that is soiled from use. The field has been motivated to provide alternatives to having to personally carry a cleat cleaning tool. [0002] An example of an alternative cleat cleaning tool is disclosed ...
