Abstract

A golf shoe sole has a plurality of inserts for releasably mounting gripping elements therein. The inserts are arranged in the front part of the sole in a first line adjacent the outside edge of the sole and a second line adjacent the inside edge of the sole. Associated with those two lines of inserts, at least one further insert, or a further group of inserts, is arranged at a position towards the longitudinal center line of the sole, relative to each of the first and second lines of inserts. The further insert or group of inserts associated with the first line adjacent the outside edge of the sole is disposed in the region of the sole which extends from the outside ball area of the sole to the arch portion of the sole.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Golfschuhsohle mit den Merkmalen gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruches 1.The invention relates to a golf shoe sole with the features according to the preamble of claim 1.

Eine Golfschuhsohle der vorstehend angegebenen Art ist bekannt (vgl. adidas-Katalog "Schuhe" Verkaufsprogramm I April 1980). Diese bekannte Golfschuhsohle weist eine durchgehend flache, d.h. absatzlose Laufseite auf und trägt Einsätze, die zur lösbaren Befestigung von Greifelementen dienen. Greifelemente und damit Einsätze zu ihrer Befestigung sind sowohl auf der Vordersohle als auch im Absatzbereich vorgesehen. Auf der Vordersohle sind die Einsätze dabei in zwei sohlenrandnahen Gruppen so angeordnet, daß sie längs einer die Kontur des jeweils zugeordneten Sohlenrandes annähernd wiedergebenden Linie stehen. ein weiterer Golfschuh dieser Art ist aus der GB-A 667 7111 bekannt geworden.A golf shoe sole of the type specified above is known (cf. adidas catalog "Shoes" sales program I April 1980). This known golf shoe sole has a continuously flat, i.e. heel-free barrel side and carries inserts that serve for the detachable fastening of gripping elements. Gripping elements and thus inserts for fastening them are provided both on the front sole and in the heel area. On the front sole, the inserts are arranged in two groups near the edge of the sole in such a way that they stand along a line roughly reflecting the contour of the respectively assigned edge of the sole. Another golf shoe of this type has become known from GB-A 667 7111.

Es ist auch bereits eine Golfschuhsohle der gleichen Art bekannt (DE-OS 31 20 349), bei der die Anordnung der Einsätze für die Greifelemente auf den beiden Sohlen eines Golfschuhpaares unterschiedlich ist, nämlich dergestalt, daß dem Sohlenrand jeder Sohle, der in Schlagrichtung gesehen der jeweils vordere ist, eine grössere Anzahl von Einsätzen für Greifelemente zugeordnet ist. Bei Rechtshändern beispielsweise sind dies der Außenrand der linken Sohle und der Innenrand der rechten Sohle. Diese beiden Sohlenränder sollen beim Swing besonders ausgeprägt Bodenhaftung haben, was durch die erwähnte grössere Anzahl von Greifelementen sowie dadurch erreicht wird, daß der gesamte jeweilige Sohlenrand von der Spitze bis zum Absatzbereich durchgehend mit Greifelementen bestückt ist. Diese Anordnung der Greifelemente hat jedoch zur Folge, daß das Gehen mit dieser bekannten Golfschuhsohle unbequem ist. Darüber hinaus müssen für Rechts- und für Linkshänder entsprechend angepasste Golfschuhe gesondert auf Lager gehalten werden.A golf shoe sole of the same type is already known (DE-OS 31 20 349), in which the arrangement of the inserts for the gripping elements on the two soles of a pair of golf shoes is different, namely such that the sole edge of each sole is seen in the direction of impact the front one is assigned a larger number of inserts for gripping elements. For right-handers, for example, these are the outer edge of the left sole and the inner edge of the right sole. These two sole edges should have a particularly pronounced grip when swinging, which is achieved by the above-mentioned larger number of gripping elements and by the fact that the entire respective sole edge is continuously equipped with gripping elements from the tip to the heel area. However, this arrangement of the gripping elements means that walking with this known golf shoe sole is uncomfortable. In addition, appropriately adapted golf shoes must be kept in stock for right-handed and left-handed users.

Gemeinsam ist den vorstehend geschilderten bekannten Golfschuhsohlen, daß die Anpassung der Bodenhaftung der Golfschuhsohle während des durch den Swing bedingten Abrollvorganges zur Seite hin verbesserungsbedürftig ist.Common to the known golf shoe soles described above is that the adaptation of the grip of the golf shoe sole to the side in need of improvement during the rolling process caused by the swing is in need of improvement.

Der Erfindung liegt daher die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Golfschuhsohle zu schaffen, die eine bessere Abstimmung der Bodenhaftung durch die Greifelemente auf den während des Swings erfolgenden Abwälzvorgang der Sohle zur Seite hin gestattet.The invention is therefore based on the object of creating a golf shoe sole which allows a better coordination of the grip by the gripping elements to the rolling process of the sole which takes place during the swing.

Erfindungsgemäß wird diese Aufgabe gelöst durch die Merkmale gemäß dem Kennzeichen des Anspruches 1.According to the invention, this object is achieved by the features according to the characterizing part of claim 1.

Der Erfindung liegt die Erkenntnis zugrunde, daß sich die Belastungskonzentration durch die Sohle, d.h. die sog. "Druckzone" etwa im Außenballenbereich bei dem in Schlagrichtung vorderen Golfschuh und etwa im Zehenbereich bei dem in Schlagrichtung hinteren Golfschuh konzentriert. Aus diesem Grund ist zumindest in den beiden Außenballenbereichen der Golfschuhsohle unmittelbar neben der dort angeordneten Gruppe von Einsätzen, jedoch zur Sohlenmitte hin versetzt, mindestens eine weiterer Einsatz oder eine weitere Gruppe von Einsätzen angeordnet. Dieser weitere Einsatz bzw. die weitere Gruppe von Einsätzen bringt somit eine Konzentration der Bodenhaftung genau in der wichtigen Druckzone, indem dort die Greifelementanordnung flächig zur Sohlenmitte hin ausgedehnt ist. Vorteilhafter weise sind auch in den beiden Zehenbereichen bis hin zum Innenballen Einsätze oder weitere Gruppen von Einsätzen vorgesehen, um dort entsprechend Greifelemente befestigen zu können.The invention is based on the knowledge that the stress concentration due to the sole, i.e. the so-called "pressure zone" is concentrated, for example, in the outer ball area in the front golf shoe in the direction of impact and approximately in the toe region in the golf shoe in the rear direction. For this reason, at least in the two outer ball areas of the golf shoe sole, directly next to the group of inserts arranged there, but offset to the center of the sole, at least one further insert or another group of inserts is arranged. This further insert or the further group of inserts thus brings about a concentration of the grip on the ground precisely in the important pressure zone, in that the gripping element arrangement is extended there flat to the middle of the sole. Advantageously, inserts or further groups of inserts are also provided in the two toe regions up to the inner ball in order to be able to fasten corresponding gripping elements there.

Da die Sohlen erfindungsgemäß spiegelbildlich zueinander ausgebildet und die Greifelemente in den Einsätzen lösbar befestigt sind, hat der Golfer je nach Rechts- oder Linkshändigkeit die Möglichkeit, die für ihn individuell passende, auf beiden Sohlen eines Golfschuhpaares unterschiedliche Anordnung von Greifelementen vorzusehen. Diejenigen weiteren Einsätze oder weiteren Gruppen von Einsätzen, die in Abhängigkeit von der Rechts-oder Linkshändigkeit nicht benötigt werden, können durch Blindschrauben verschlossen werden. Auf diese Weise ist eine Anpassung an die individuellen Gegebenheiten des einzelnen Golfers trotz gleicher Ausgestaltung aller Golfschuhsohlen möglich, wofür gesonderter Schutz beansprucht wird.Since the soles according to the invention are mirror images of one another and the gripping elements are detachably fastened in the inserts, the golfer has the possibility, depending on the right-handed or left-handed use, of providing a different arrangement of gripping elements that suits him individually on both soles of a pair of golf shoes. Those additional inserts or further groups of inserts which are not required depending on the right-handed or left-handed use can be closed by blind screws. In this way, an adaptation to the individual circumstances of the individual golfer is possible despite the same design of all golf shoe soles, for which separate protection is claimed.

Weitere vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen ergeben sich aus den Unteransprüchen.Further advantageous embodiments result from the subclaims.

Ein Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung ist nachfolgend anhand der beiliegenden Zeichnungen näher erläutert. In den Zeichnungen zeigen:

  • Fig. 1 eine Untenansicht einer rechten Golfschuhsohle eines Paares;
  • Fig. 2 eine Untenansicht einer linken Golfschuhsohle desselben Paares, und
  • Fig. 3 einen Längsschnitt längs der Linielll- 111 in Fig. 2, in dem aus Gründen der Obersichtlichkeit die auf der Vordersohle vorhandenen Erhöhungen zur Befestigung von Greifelementen, soweit sie nicht geschnitten sind, weggelassen sind.
An embodiment of the invention is explained below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The drawings show:
  • Fig. 1 is a bottom view of a right golf shoe sole of a pair;
  • Fig. 2 is a bottom view of a left golf shoe sole of the same pair, and
  • 3 shows a longitudinal section along the line 111 in FIG. 2, in which, for reasons of clarity, the elevations present on the front sole for fastening gripping elements, insofar as they have not been cut, have been omitted.

Das in den Fig. 1 und 2 gezeigte Paar von Golfschuhsohlen ist für einen Rechtshänder*bestückt. Jede der gezeigten Sohlen 1 und 2 bildet die eigentliche Lauf- oder Verschleißsohle, die an der Unterfläche einer aus nachgiebigem Kunststoffmaterial, z.B. geschäumtem Polyurethan, bestehenden Zwischensohle befestigt ist. Die gezeigten Laufsohlen 1 und 2 bestehen jeweils aus einer Platte aus verhältnismässig hartem Kunststoff, z.B. hart eingestelltem, jedoch flexiblem Polyamid, und weisen eine von der Spitze bis zum Absatz durchgehende Auftrittsfläche auf, d.h. sie besitzen keinen Absatz. Im Fersenbereich sind auf zwei querverlaufenden, durch Materialverdickung erzielten Brücken 3 bzw. 4 jeweils vier Gewindeeinsätze zur Befestigung von Greifelementen direkt in die Kunststoffplatte eingebettet. Der Gelenkbereich 7, 8 der beiden Laufsohlen 1, 2 ist durch randseitig vorgesehene Materialverdickungen verstärkt, und die Vordersohlen 9, 10 sind durchwegs durch eine erhöhte Materialdicke versteift und weisen lediglich querverlaufende Rillen 11 bis 13 auf, durch die örtliche Schwächungs- und dadurch Biegezonen gebildet sind. Während die vorderen Rillen 11, 12 zueinander im wesentlichen parallel liegen, verläuft dazu die hinterste Rille 13 nach außen divergierend, so daß ein etwa sektorförmiger Sohlenbereich am hinteren Ende der Vordersohle geschaffen wird. In der Nähe des äußeren Sohlenrandes befindet sich in diesem sektorförmigen Bereich eine der eingangs geschilderten Druckzonen.The pair of golf shoe soles shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 is equipped for a right-hander * . Each of the soles 1 and 2 shown forms the actual outsole or wear sole, which is fastened to the lower surface of a midsole made of resilient plastic material, for example foamed polyurethane. The outsoles 1 and 2 shown each consist of a plate made of relatively hard plastic, for example hard-set but flexible polyamide, and have a tread surface that runs from the tip to the heel, ie they have no heel. In the heel area, four threaded inserts for fastening gripping elements are embedded directly into the plastic plate on two transverse bridges 3 and 4, which are achieved by thickening the material. The joint area 7, 8 of the two outsoles 1, 2 is reinforced by material thickenings provided on the edge, and the front soles 9, 10 are stiffened throughout by an increased material thickness and only have transverse grooves 11 to 13, through which local weakening and thereby bending zones are formed are. While the front grooves 11, 12 are essentially parallel to each other, the rearmost groove 13 diverges outwards so that an approximately sector-shaped sole area is created at the rear end of the front sole. One of the pressure zones described at the outset is located in the vicinity of the outer edge of the sole.

Da die beiden Laufsohlen 1 und 2 zueinander bezüglich der Anordnung von Einsätzen zur Befestigung der Greifelemente auf der Vordersohle spiegelbildlich ausgebildet sind, genügt im folgenden die Beschreibung der rechten Laufsohle 1:Since the two outsoles 1 and 2 are mirror images of one another with respect to the arrangement of inserts for fastening the gripping elements on the front sole, the description of the right outsole 1 suffices below:

Nahe dem Sohlenaußenrand 15, d.h. in einem Abstand von z.B. 1,3 cm davon, verläuft eine gedachte Linie 16, auf der in *mit Greifelementen gleichen Abständen voneinander die Mittelpunkte von Gewindeeinsätzen 17 zur Befestigung von Greifelementen liegen. Die Linie 16 folgt, wie aus Fig. 1 hervorgeht, angenähert der Außenkontur der Laufsohle 1, d.h. sie liegt in etwa parallel oder in konstantem Abstand vom Sohlenaußenrand 15. In gleicher Weise und auch mit etwa gleichem Abstand zum Sohleninnenrand 18 verläuft eine ebenfalls gedachte Linie 19, auf der in gleichen Abständen die Mittelpunkte von weiteren Gewindeeinsätzen 20 zur Befestigung von Greifelementen angeordnet sind. Die dem Außenrand 15 und die dem Innenrand 18 zugeordneten Gruppen von jeweils vier Einsätzen 17 bzw. 20 bilden erste Gruppen von Einsätzen, die von den eingangs geschilderten Golfschuhsohlen nach dem Stand der Technik bereits bekannt sind. Angenähert parallel zum hinteren Endbereich der Linie 16 sowie etwa parallel zum Vorderen Bereich der Linie 19 ist jeweils eine weitere Linie 21 bzw. 22 gedacht, auf der jeweils eine weitere Gruppe von zwei Gewindeeinsätzen 24, 25 bzw. 26, 27 mit deren Mittelpunkten liegt. Die Anordnung dieser weiteren Gruppe von Einsätzen 24, 25 und 26, 27 ist so getroffen, daß der hintere Einsatz 25 der dem Außenrand zugeordneten weiteren Gruppe hinter der Rille 13 liegt, während der dieser Gruppe zugehörige vordere Einsatz 24 sich davor befindet. Die beiden Einsätze 26 und 27 der weiteren, dem Sohleninnenrand 18 zugeordneten Gruppe von Einsätzen liegt in dem sich vom Innenballenbereich bis zur Sohlenspitze erstreckenden Sohlenbereich; der hintere Einsatz 27 davon befindet sich am Innenballen selbst.Near the bottom outer edge 15, ie at a distance of for example 1,3 cm thereof, the center points runs an imaginary line 16, on the same in * with grips spaced intervals of threaded inserts 17 are for attachment of gripping elements. The line 16 follows, as can be seen from FIG. 1, approximately the outer contour of the outsole 1, ie it lies approximately parallel or at a constant distance from the outer sole edge 15. In the same way and also at approximately the same distance from the inner edge 18 of the sole, an imaginary line also runs 19, on which the centers of further thread inserts 20 for fastening gripping elements are arranged at equal intervals. The groups of four inserts 17 and 20, respectively, assigned to the outer edge 15 and the inner edge 18 form first groups of inserts which are already known from the prior art golf shoe soles. Approximately parallel to the rear end area of line 16 and approximately parallel to the front area of line 19, a further line 21 or 22 is intended, on each of which a further group of two threaded inserts 24, 25 or 26, 27 lies with their centers. The arrangement of this further group of inserts 24, 25 and 26, 27 is such that the rear insert 25 of the further group assigned to the outer edge lies behind the groove 13, while the front insert 24 belonging to this group is located in front of it. The two inserts 26 and 27 of the further group of inserts assigned to the inner edge 18 of the sole lie in the sole area which extends from the inner ball area to the tip of the sole; the rear insert 27 is located on the inner bale itself.

Wie aus der zeichnerischen Darstellung hervorgeht, stehen die Einsätze 24, 25 und 26, 27 der weiteren Gruppen zu den Einsätzen der randnahen erstgenannten Gruppen "auf Lücke", so daß die erwähnten Druckzonen in dem entsprechenden Bereich "flächig" von Greifelementen überdeckt werden können. Aufgrund der erwähnten Bestimmung der Laufsohlen 1 und 2 für einen rechtshändigen Golfer sind bei der Benutzung des Golfschuhpaares die Einsätze 24, 25 der Laufsohle 1 und die Einsätze 26, 27 der Laufsohle 2 nicht mit Greifelementen zu bestücken. Anstelle von Greifelementen sind hier Blindschrauben eingeschraubt, wie dies in den Zeichnungen angedeutet ist. Daraus ergibt sich, daß die Bestückung der Sohlen 1, 2 mit Greifelementen im Benutzungszustand unterschiedlich ist, nämlich dergestalt, daß an dem Sohleninnenrand 18 der Laufsohle 1 eine grössere Anzahl von Greifelementen, nämlich sechs, vorgesehen ist als an deren Außenrand 15. Umgekehrt ist es bei der Laufsohle 2; dort sind in der Nähe des Sohlenaußenrandes sechs Greifelemente angeordnet, während am Sohleninnenrand die geringere Anzahl, nämlich nur vier Greifelemente, sitzt.As can be seen from the drawing, the inserts 24, 25 and 26, 27 of the other groups are "on a gap" with the inserts of the groups near the edge, so that the pressure zones mentioned can be covered "areal" by gripping elements in the corresponding area. Due to the aforementioned determination of the outsoles 1 and 2 for a right-handed golfer, the inserts 24, 25 of the outsole 1 and the inserts 26, 27 of the outsole 2 are not to be equipped with gripping elements when using the pair of golf shoes. Instead of gripping elements, blind screws are screwed in here, as is indicated in the drawings. It follows from this that the equipping of the soles 1, 2 with gripping elements differs in the use state, namely in such a way that a larger number of gripping elements, namely six, is provided on the inner edge 18 of the outsole 1 than on the outer edge 15 thereof in the outsole 2; there six gripping elements are arranged near the outer edge of the sole, while the smaller number, namely only four gripping elements, sits on the inner edge of the sole.
