Abstract

A clean air shoe having a shoe bottom adapted to the size of the foot, and with a peripheral seam edge whose upper end is sewn together with a legging by means of a seam. Below this seam there runs a second seam with which an upper is connected to the seam edge. In this manner a normal shoe, which is connected to a legging, is produced.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Reinluftschuh mit einem antistatischen Schuhboden, welcher einen hochgezogenen, umlaufenden Nahtrand hat, mit dem eine Gamasche durch eine Naht verbunden ist.The invention relates to a clean air shoe with an antistatic shoe bottom, which has a raised, circumferential seam edge with which a gaiter is connected by a seam.

Ein solcher Reinluftschuh ist durch die US-A-3 381 173 bekannt. Dieser Reinluftschuh wird bei der Arbeit in Reinluftbereichen über den eigenen Schuhen getragen und deckt mit seiner jeweiligen Gamasche den unteren Bereich eines Hosenbeines ab. Üblicherweise fertigt man solche Reinluftschuhe in nur zwei zusammenpassenden Größen. Da es sich bei ihnen um Überschuhe handelt, sind sie recht groß, sehen plump aus und das Gehen mit ihnen fällt schwer. Außerdem entsteht ein Hitzestau, da der Überschuh auf dem normalen Schuhwerk getragen wird. Reinluftschuhe der vorstehenden Art müssen so beschaffen sein, daß man sie bei Temperaturen von etwa 180°C sterilisieren kann.Such a clean air shoe is known from US-A-3 381 173. This clean air shoe is worn over your own shoes when working in clean air areas and covers the lower area of a trouser leg with its respective gaiter. Usually, such clean air shoes are manufactured in only two matching sizes. Since they are overshoes, they are quite large, look clumsy, and walking with them is difficult. In addition, heat builds up because the shoe cover is worn on normal footwear. Clean air shoes of the above type must be designed so that they can be sterilized at temperatures of about 180 ° C.

Der Erfindung liegt das Problem zugrunde, einen Reinluftschuh der eingangs genannten Art so auszubilden, daß sich ohne Beeinträchtigung ihrer Funktion als Reinluftschuh ein möglichst hoher Tragekomfort ergibt.The invention is based on the problem of designing a clean air shoe of the type mentioned at the outset in such a way that the greatest possible wearing comfort results without impairing its function as a clean air shoe.

Dieses Problem wird erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, daß der Schuhboden der Fußgröße angepaßt und unterhalb der Naht der Gamasche ein Schaft mit dem Nahtrand des Schuhbodens verbunden ist.This problem is solved according to the invention in that the shoe bottom is adapted to the foot size and a shaft is connected to the seam edge of the shoe bottom below the seam of the gaiter.

Ein solcher Reinluftschuh ist kein Überschuh mehr, vielmehr wird er wie ein normaler Schuh getragen. Er bietet deshalb auch den Tragekomfort eines üblichen Schuhs. Der Nahtrand ist ein umlaufender, aufgestellter Rand, der zum Verbinden mit dem Schaft und der Gamasche ausgebildet ist. Dadurch kann der erfindungsgemäße Reinluftschuh sehr kostengünstig hergestellt werden. Zugleich hat er die Haltbarkeit eines üblichen Schuhs.Such a clean air shoe is no longer an overshoe, rather it is worn like a normal shoe. It therefore offers the comfort of a normal shoe. The seam edge is a circumferential, raised edge, which is designed for connection to the shaft and the gaiter. As a result, the clean air shoe according to the invention can be produced very inexpensively. At the same time, it has the durability of a normal shoe.

Für die Belüftung des Fußes und damit den Tragekomfort besonders vorteilhaft ist es, wenn der Schuhboden mit dem Schaft eine Sandale bildet. Nachteile hierdurch entstehen nicht, weil der Fuß durch die Gamasche vollständig abgedeckt ist.For the ventilation of the foot and thus the wearing comfort, it is particularly advantageous if the shoe bottom forms a sandal with the upper. Disadvantages do not arise because the foot is completely covered by the gaiter.

Die den Schaft bildende Beriemung springt im Schuh nicht vor, so daß sie nicht drücken kann, wenn gemäß einer anderen Weiterbildung der Erfindung innenseitig im Nahtrand von oben her in diesen hineinführende Ausnehmungen zur Aufnahme einer den Schaft bildenden Beriemung vorgesehen sind.The strap forming the shaft does not protrude in the shoe, so that it cannot press if, according to another development of the invention, recesses leading into the seam from above are provided on the inside in the seam edge for receiving a strap forming the shaft.

Auch ein Vorspringen der die Beriemung mit dem Nahtrand verbindenden Naht kann auf einfache Weise dadurch vermieden werden, daß zur Befestigung des Schaftes außenseitig und innenseitig im Nahtrand fluchtend zueinander eine Nahtrille vorgesehen ist.A protrusion of the seam connecting the straps to the seam edge can also be avoided in a simple manner by providing a seam groove in alignment with one another on the outside and inside in the seam edge for fastening the shaft.

Die Gamasche kann mit üblicherweise vorhandenen Maschinen am Nahtrand befestigt werden, wenn sie mittels eines u-förmig über den oberen Rand des Nahtrandes greifenden Einfaßbandes zwischen dem äußeren Schenkel dieses Einfaßbandes und dem Nahtrand eingenäht ist.The gaiter can be attached to the seam edge by means of usually existing machines if it is sewn between the outer leg of this binding band and the seam edge by means of a U-shaped binding tape which extends over the upper edge of the seam edge.

Der weiteren Erhöhung des Tragekomforts dient es, wenn der Schuhboden ein Fußbett aufweist und mit einer Decksohle versehen ist.It increases the wearing comfort even further if the shoe bottom has a footbed and is provided with an insole.

Alternativ ist es möglich, daß der Schuhboden eine ebene Oberfläche hat, und auf ihm eine Einlegesohle mit Fußbett aufgelegt ist.Alternatively, it is possible that the shoe bottom has a flat surface and an insole with a footbed is placed on it.

Die Erfindung läßt verschiedene Ausführungsformen zu. Zur weiteren Verdeutlichung ihres Grundprinzips ist eine davon in der Zeichnung dargestellt und wird nachfolgend beschrieben. Diese zeigt in

Fig.1
eine Seitenansicht des erfindungsgemäßen Reinluftschuhs,
Fig.2
einen Längsschnitt durch einen Schuhboden des Reinluftschuhs,
Fig.3

Die Figur 1 zeigt als Ganzes einen Reinluftschuh, von dem ein Schuhboden 1 aus beispielsweise Polyurethan und eine Gamasche 2 aus einem dünnen, sehr flexiblen Material zu sehen ist. Diese Gamasche 2 kann einen in Längsrichtung verlaufenden Reißverschluß 3 aufweisen, damit sie beim Anziehen des Reinluftschuhs leichter über das untere Ende eines Hosenbeins gezogen werden kann.1 shows as a whole a clean-air shoe, of which a shoe bottom 1 made of, for example, polyurethane and a gaiter 2 made of a thin, very flexible material can be seen. This gaiter 2 can have a longitudinal zipper 3 so that it can be pulled more easily over the lower end of a trouser leg when the clean air shoe is put on.

Die Schnittdarstellung gemäß Figur 2 zeigt, daß der Schuhboden 1 einen umlaufenden, hochgezogenen Nahtrand 4 hat, in welchen innenseitig von oben her Ausnehmungen 5, 6 hineinführen. In diese führt beim fertigen Reinluftschuh jeweils eine Beriemung, welche einen in Figur 3 teilweise gezeigten Schaft 7 bildet. Zu erkennen ist in Figur 2 weiterhin außenseitig und innenseitig am Nahtrand 4 jeweils eine Nahtrille 8, 9 und ein Fußbett 10 des Schuhbodens 1, der nach oben hin durch eine Decksohle 11 abgedeckt ist.The sectional view according to FIG. 2 shows that the shoe bottom 1 has a circumferential, raised seam edge 4, into which recesses 5, 6 lead from the inside. In the finished clean air shoe, a strap leads into each, which forms a shaft 7 partially shown in FIG. 3. It can also be seen in FIG. 2 on the outside and inside on the seam edge 4 in each case a seam groove 8, 9 and a footbed 10 of the Shoe bottom 1, which is covered at the top by an insole 11.

Die Figur 3 zeigt, wie die Gamasche 2 mittels eines über den oberen Rand des Nahtrandes 4 greifenden, u-förmigen Einfaßbandes 12 durch eine Naht 13 mit dem Schuhboden 1 verbunden ist. Der Schaft 7 ist durch eine Naht 14 unterhalb der Naht 13 am Nahtrand 4 befestigt.FIG. 3 shows how the gaiter 2 is connected to the shoe bottom 1 by means of a seam 13 by means of a U-shaped binding band 12 which extends over the upper edge of the seam edge 4. The shaft 7 is fastened to the seam edge 4 by a seam 14 below the seam 13.
