Abstract

A shoe has a central buckle coupled to at least a string-like tightening element whose tightening length may be shortened to close the shoe and increased to open the shoe. In order to design a closing mechanism in such a way that the elastic properties of the shoe upper are not affected, the instep cover (17) is drawn downwards on both sides of the shoe (6, 8) towards the sole. This ensures a favourable pressure distribution throughout the instep, as the instep cover (17) can be well fitted to the shape of the instep.

Description

Schuh mit Zentralverschluß Central locking shoe
Die vorliegende Erfindung bezieht sich auf einen Schuh mit einem Zentralverschluß gemäß dem Oberbegriff des An¬ spruches 1.The present invention relates to a shoe with a central closure according to the preamble of claim 1.
Ein derartiger als Skistiefel ausgebildeter Schuh ist beispielsweise aus der EP-Bl - 0 099 504 oder aus der EP-Bl - 0 132 744 bekannt. Bei diesen Skistiefeln ist ein Zentralverschluß jeweils am Schafthinterteil des bekanntlich aus relativ starrem Material bestehenden Stiefelschaftes vorgesehen. Es ist eine Abdeckung vorhanden, die sich über den Ristbereich und das Fußgelenk bis zum Schienbeinansatz erstreckt. Diese Abdeckung ist daher in der Seitenansicht winkelartig geformt. Vom Zentralverschluß aus erstreckt sich ein Spannelement beidseitig etwa vom Sohlenbereich im Bereich des Fußgelenks aus über die Abdeckung. Die Abdeckung besteht ebenfalls aus einem relativ starren Material und dient dazu, den Fuß in den Schuh fest einzuspannen. Sie befindet sich im Schuh zwischen einem weichen Innenschuh und der starren Außenschale.Such a shoe designed as a ski boot is known for example from EP-Bl - 0 099 504 or from EP-Bl - 0 132 744. In these ski boots, a central closure is provided on the rear part of the boot shaft, which is known to be made of relatively rigid material. There is a cover that extends over the instep area and the ankle to the base of the shin. This cover is therefore shaped like an angle in the side view. From the central lock, a tensioning element extends on both sides approximately from the sole area in the area of the ankle over the cover. The cover is also made of a relatively rigid material and is used to firmly clamp the foot in the shoe. It is located in the shoe between a soft inner shoe and the rigid outer shell.
Weiterhin ist es aus der DE-A- 35 24 792 bekannt, bei einem Skistiefel auf dem vorderen Schaftteil eine Biegemanschette aus starrem Material vorzusehen, die im Bereich des Knöchels schwenkbar am Schaft angelenkt ist und sich nach oben bis über die Mitte des Schienbeins erstreckt. Im oberen Endbereich sind seitlich an der Biegemanschette Spann¬ elementenden befestigt, die mit einem am Schafthinterteil befindlichen Zentralschiebeverschluß gekuppelt sind. Die Biegemanschette kann daher im Schienbeinbereich gegen den Schaft gezogen werden.Furthermore, it is known from DE-A-35 24 792, in a ski boot on the front shaft part, a bending collar made of rigid material, which is pivotally hinged to the shaft in the region of the ankle and extends up to the middle of the shin. In the upper end area, clamping element ends are fastened to the side of the bending collar, which ends are coupled to a central sliding closure located on the rear part of the shaft. The bending sleeve can therefore be pulled against the shaft in the shin area.
Der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen Schuh, der keine harte Außenschale besitzt, an der Rückseite des Schaftes mit einem Zentralverschluß zu versehen, wobei der Schließmechanismus so ausgebildet werden soll, daß die elastischen Eigenschaften des Schuhschaftes möglichst nicht beeinträchtigt werden.The present invention has for its object to provide a shoe that does not have a hard outer shell on the back of the shaft with a central lock, the locking mechanism should be designed so that the elastic properties of the shoe upper are not impaired as possible.
Gelöst wird diese Aufgabe durch die im Kennzeichen des Anspruches 1 angegebenen Merkmale.This object is achieved by the features specified in the characterizing part of claim 1.
Durch die vorliegende Erfindung wird sichergestellt, daß die Ristabdeckung auf beiden Schuhseiten von der Sohle her nach unten gespannt wird. Durch diese Maßnahme und durch die Verwendung einer elastisch biegbaren Ristabdeckung wird eine günstige Druckverteilung über den Rist erreicht, da sich die Ristabdeckung gut an die Ristform anpassen kann. Außerdem ergibt sich der weitere Vorteil, daß sich kein Spannelement und kein Verschlußteil über den Rist erstreckt, so daß die Gefahr einer örtlichen Drucküberbeanspruchung nicht besteht.The present invention ensures that the instep cover is stretched down from the sole on both sides of the shoe. This measure and the use of an elastically bendable instep cover achieves a favorable pressure distribution over the instep, since the instep cover can adapt well to the instep shape. In addition, there is the further advantage that no tensioning element and no closure part extend over the instep, so that there is no risk of local pressure overload.
Weitere vorteilhafte Einzelheiten der Erfindung sind in den Unteransprüchen angegeben und werden nachfolgend anhand der in der Zeichnung veranschaulichten Ausführungsbeispiele näher beschrieben. Es zeigen:Further advantageous details of the invention are specified in the subclaims and are described in more detail below with reference to the exemplary embodiments illustrated in the drawing. Show it:
Fig. 1 und 2 eine perspektivische Ansicht eines Schuhes gemäß der vorliegenden Erfindung nach Art einer1 and 2 is a perspective view of a shoe according to the present invention in the manner of
Explosionszeichnung und die Fig. 3 bis 6 je eine Ansicht eines derartigen Schuhes mit unterschiedlichen Zentralverschlüssen.Exploded drawing and FIGS. 3 to 6 each a view of such a shoe with different central closures.
In Fig. 1 ist mit 1 ein Sohlenkörper bezeichnet. Auf diesem Sohlenkörper 1 wird ein Schuhoberteil oder Schaft 2 unter Zwischenfügen einer Fersenkappe 3 und zwei seitlichen Führungsbügeln 4 und 5 befestigt. Der an der Schuhaußenseite 6 vorhandene Führungsbügel 4 ist im Kleinzehenbereich 7 und der auf der Schuhinnenseite 8 vorgesehene Führungsbügel 5 ist im Bereich 9 zwischen dem Großzehengrundgelenk 10 und etwa der Mitte der Fußwölbung 11 angebracht. Bevorzugt ist die Fersenkappe 3 mit einem nach innen stehenden und in Richtung der Sohlenoberfläche 12 verlaufenden Flansch 13 oder mit mehreren derart verlaufenden Flanschabschnitten versehen, um eine gute Verankerung der Fersenkappe 3 im Schuh zwischen dem Sohlenkörper 1 und einer auf dessen Oberfläche 12 vorzusehenden Innensohle zu erreichen. Die Innensohle kann beispielsweise mit dem Schaft 2 eine bauliche Einheit bilden. Zu dem gleichen Zweck können auch die Führungsbügel 4 und 5 jeweils eine nach innen in Richtung der Sohlenoberfläche 12 verlaufende Lasche 14 aufweisen.In Fig. 1, 1 denotes a sole body. A shoe upper or upper 2 is attached to this sole body 1 with the interposition of a heel counter 3 and two lateral guide brackets 4 and 5. The guide bracket 4 provided on the outside of the shoe 6 is in the small toe area 7 and the guide bracket 5 provided on the inside of the shoe 8 is attached in the area 9 between the big toe joint 10 and approximately the center of the arch of the foot 11. The heel counter 3 is preferably provided with an inwardly extending flange 13 running in the direction of the sole surface 12 or with a plurality of flange sections running in this way in order to achieve good anchoring of the heel counter 3 in the shoe between the sole body 1 and an insole to be provided on its surface 12 . The insole can, for example, form a structural unit with the shaft 2. For the same purpose, the guide brackets 4 and 5 can also each have a tab 14 which runs inwards in the direction of the sole surface 12.
Das Schuhoberteil besitzt ein vorzugsweise geschlossenes Vorderschuhteil 15 und ist im Bereich des Ristes 16 von einer seitlich relativ weit herunterragenden Ristabdeckung 17 überdeckt. Das Schuhoberteil besteht zumindest im Bereich des Ristes 16 aus einem volumenelastischen, kompressiblen Material. Hierfür sind Kunststoff-Schaumstoffe, wie insbesondere das unter dem Handelsnamen "Neopren" oder auf dessen Basis bekannte Schaumstoffmaterialien oder auch Schaumstoffe aus Polyäthylen, Polyamid oder dgl. besonders geeignet. Die Ristabdeckung 17 ist aus einem elastisch biegbaren und bevorzugt auch zumindest geringfügig dehnbaren Material gefertigt. Beispielsweise besteht dieses elastisch biegbare und auch dehnbare Material aus einem geeigneten Elastomer, das zusätzlich auf einem Gewebe aufkaschiert sein kann. Die Ristabdeckung 17 sollte der Ristform zumindest annähernd angepaßt sein, auch wenn sie den oberen Rist nicht vollständig abdecken muß. Auch die Ristabdeckung 17 kann grundsätzlich aus geschäumtem Material bestehen oder eine derart geschäumte Schicht besitzen, wobei der Schäumungsgrad der Ristabdeckung allerdings geringer zu halten ist als der des darunterliegenden Ristes 16.The upper of the shoe has a preferably closed front shoe part 15 and is covered in the area of the instep 16 by an instep cover 17 projecting relatively far to the side. The shoe upper is at least in the area of the instep 16 made of a volume-elastic, compressible material. Plastic foams, such as, in particular, the foam materials known under the trade name “neoprene” or on the basis thereof, or also foams made of polyethylene, polyamide or the like, are particularly suitable. The instep cover 17 is made of an elastically bendable and preferably also at least slightly stretchable material. For example, this elastically bendable and stretchable material consists of a suitable elastomer, which can additionally be laminated onto a fabric. The instep cover 17 should be at least approximately adapted to the instep shape, even if it does not have to completely cover the upper instep. The instep cover 17 can in principle also consist of foamed material or have such a foamed layer, although the degree of foaming of the instep cover is to be kept lower than that of the instep 16 underneath.
Im zusammengesetzten Zustand ist an der Schafthinterseite 18 außen im Bereich oberhalb der Ferse ein Zentralverschluß 19In the assembled state, there is a central closure 19 on the outside of the shaft 18 in the area above the heel
- der mittlere Teil der Fig. 1 zeigt nur schematisch die Lage dieses Zentralverschlusses - angeordnet, mit dem mindestens ein seilartiges Spannelement 20 gekuppelt ist. Dieses Spannelement 20 verläuft vom Zentralverschluß 19 aus auf beiden Seiten 6, 8 des Schuhes um die Ferse an der Fersenrundung 21 entlang, beispielsweise in einer Führungsrille 3.1 in der Fersenkappe 3 zum Niveau-Bereich 22 der einzubringenden Innensohle. Von da aus verläuft das Spannelement 20, ohne den Rist 16 zu kreuzen, über ein auf einem höheren Niveau an der Ristabdeckung 17 am seitlichen Endabschnitt 23 vorhandenes, beispielsweise als Führungsrille ausgebildetes Führungs- oder Umlenkelement 24 zu einem am Führungsbügel 4 bzw. 5 vorgesehenen Fixpunkt- The middle part of FIG. 1 shows only schematically the position of this central lock - arranged, with which at least one rope-like tensioning element 20 is coupled. This tensioning element 20 runs from the central closure 19 on both sides 6, 8 of the shoe around the heel along the heel curve 21, for example in a guide groove 3.1 in the heel cap 3 to the level area 22 of the insole to be inserted. From there, the tensioning element 20 runs, without crossing the instep 16, over a guiding or deflecting element 24 present at a higher level on the instep cover 17 on the lateral end section 23, for example as a guiding groove, to a fixed point provided on the stirrup 4 or 5
- angedeutet durch ein X - oder zu einem äußeren Umlenkelement 25a. Dort ist das Spannelement 20 etwa in Höhe des dortigen Niveaus der Innensohle entweder befestigt oder umgelenkt und durch die Schuhsohle, beispielsweise zwischen dem Sohlenteil 1 und der Innensohle oder einer Zwischensohle zur jeweils anderen Schuhseite geführt. Auf der anderen Schuhseite, nämlich der Schuhinnenseite 8 ist ein weiteres Umlenkelement 25i im Bereich zwischen Großzehengrundgelenk 10 und etwa der Mitte der Fußwölbung 11 vorgesehen. Durch diese konstruktiven Maßnahmen kann die Ristabdeckung 17 von der Sohle her nach unten gezogen bzw. gespannt werden, wenn die Spannlänge des Spannelements 20 durch den Schließteil des Zentralverschlusses 19 verkürzt wird. Die Ristabdeckung 17 drückt dadurch unter Verdichtung des Schaftmaterials im Ristbereich großflächig und somit mit geringer Flächenbelastung auf den Rist. Hierdurch wird ein guter, sicherer Halt des Fußes im Schuh erreicht, ohne Druckstellen zu erzeugen. Auch kann der gesamte obere Ristbereich des Schuhes mit einer Oberfläche versehen werden, die vollkommen glatt und frei von irgendwelchen störenden Erhebungen ist.- indicated by an X - or to an outer deflection element 25a. There the clamping element 20 is approximately in height the level of the insole there either fixed or deflected and passed through the shoe sole, for example between the sole part 1 and the insole or an midsole to the other side of the shoe. On the other side of the shoe, namely the inside of the shoe 8, a further deflection element 25i is provided in the area between the big toe joint 10 and approximately the center of the arch of the foot 11. These constructive measures allow the instep cover 17 to be pulled down or tensioned from the sole when the span length of the tensioning element 20 is shortened by the closing part of the central lock 19. As a result, the instep cover 17 presses on the instep over a large area while compressing the shaft material in the instep area and thus with a low surface load. This ensures a good, secure hold of the foot in the shoe without creating pressure points. The entire upper instep area of the shoe can also be provided with a surface that is completely smooth and free of any disturbing elevations.
Wie bereits erwähnt, ist der Zentralverschluß 19 entweder an der Rückseite der Fersenkappe 3 oder an der darüberliegenden Schafthinterseite 18 fixiert oder dort fixierbar, wobei die Fersenkappe 3 die Umlenk- oder Führungselemente 3.1 für das Spannelement 20 umfaßt.As already mentioned, the central lock 19 is either fixed on the back of the heel cap 3 or on the upper rear of the shaft 18 or can be fixed there, the heel cap 3 comprising the deflection or guide elements 3.1 for the tensioning element 20.
Im Kleinzehenbereich 7 und im Bereich 9 zwischen dem Großzehengrundgelenk 10 und etwa der Mitte der Fußwölbung 11 ist jeweils ein Führungsbügel 4, 5 mit je einer in Sohlenrichtung verlaufenden Lasche 14 und mit einem zum Schaft 2 hochstehenden Abschnitt vorgesehen, an denen das Spannelement 20 fixierbar bzw. umlenkbar ist.In the small toe area 7 and in the area 9 between the big toe joint 10 and approximately the center of the arch 11, a guide bracket 4, 5 is provided, each with a tab 14 running in the sole direction and with a section upstanding to the shaft 2, on which the tensioning element 20 can be fixed or is deflectable.
Das Spannelement 20 kann so ausgebildet sein, daß es etwa im Bereich 9 zwischen dem Großzehengrundgelenk 10 und etwa der Mitte der Fußwölbung 11 von der Schuhaußenseite 6 zur Schuhinnenseite 8 innerhalb der Schuhsohle verläuft. Es kann dort zwischen einer Innensohle und dem Sohlengrundkörper 1 verlaufen.The tensioning element 20 can be designed such that it runs approximately in the area 9 between the big toe joint 10 and approximately the center of the arch of the foot 11 from the outside of the shoe 6 to the inside of the shoe 8 within the sole of the shoe. It can there run between an insole and the sole base body 1.
Die Fersenkappe 3 und die Führungsbügel 4, 5 können anstatt der erwähnten Führungsnuten auch mit Führungsdurchbrüchen für das Spannelement 20 versehen sein. Auch kann die Fersenkappe 3 entweder einen in der Sohlenebene verlaufenden, nach innen ragenden Flansch 13 oder mehrere derartige Flanschabschnitte aufweisen. Die Laschen 14 der Führungsbügel 4, 5 und der Flansch 13 bzw. die Flanschabschnitte der Fersenkappe 3 sind bevorzugt zwischen dem Sohlengrundkörper 1 und der Innensohle eingebettet.The heel cap 3 and the guide bracket 4, 5 can also be provided with guide openings for the clamping element 20 instead of the guide grooves mentioned. The heel cap 3 can either have an inwardly extending flange 13 which extends in the sole plane or a plurality of such flange sections. The tabs 14 of the guide bracket 4, 5 and the flange 13 or the flange portions of the heel cap 3 are preferably embedded between the sole base body 1 and the insole.
Bei dem in Fig. 2 dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel sind die Fersenkappe 3 und die Führungsbügel 4, 5 Teil eines Sohlenteils aus federelastischem Material, wie Kunststoff, beispielsweise Polyäthylen, Polyamid oder dgl. und beispielsweise mit diesem Sohlenteil aus einem einzigen Spritz- oder Formteil hergestellt. Diese Art der Herstellung bietet sich bei Schuhen mit einer Außensohle aus relativ starrem, abriebfestem Material, wie beispielsweise bei Fußballschuhen an. Die stollenförmigen Greifelemente sind mit den Positionsziffern 2a, 2b, 2c versehen. Die in Fig. 2 dargestellte Ristabdeckung 17 ist mit quer, also beispielsweise senkrecht oder im Winkel zur Schuhlängsachse 26 verlaufenden Versteifungselementen 27, beispielsweise Versteifungsrippen, versehen. Zusätzlich kann die Ristabdeckung 17, wie ebenfalls in Fig. 2 gezeigt ist, mit Durchbrechungen und/oder Vertiefungen 28 versehen sein.In the embodiment shown in Fig. 2, the heel cap 3 and the guide bracket 4, 5 are part of a sole part made of resilient material, such as plastic, for example polyethylene, polyamide or the like. For example, with this sole part made of a single molded or molded part. This type of manufacture lends itself to shoes with an outsole made of relatively rigid, abrasion-resistant material, such as, for example, football shoes. The lug-shaped gripping elements are provided with the position numbers 2a, 2b, 2c. The instep cover 17 shown in FIG. 2 is provided with stiffening elements 27, for example stiffening ribs, which run transversely, for example perpendicularly or at an angle to the longitudinal axis 26 of the shoe. In addition, the instep cover 17, as is also shown in FIG. 2, can be provided with openings and / or depressions 28.
Als Zentralverschluß kann gemäß Fig. 3 ein Zentraldrehverschluß 29 an der Schafthinterseite 18 vorgesehen sein. Vorzugsweise besitzt dieser Zentraldrehverschluß 29 - wie an sich bekannt - eine Möglichkeit zur Schnellentrastung. Bei Ausführung des Zentralverschlusses als Zentralschiebeverschluß 30 können gemäß Fig. 4 seitliche Betätigungsmittel 31 angebracht sein, die in eine seitliche Verzahnung des Schiebers eingreifen. Durch Betätigen derselben kann beispielsweise eine Schnellentrastung durchgeführt werden.3, a central rotary lock 29 can be provided on the rear 18 of the shaft as a central lock. As is known per se, this central rotary lock 29 preferably has a possibility for quick unloading. When the central lock is designed as a central slide lock 30, lateral actuation means 31 can be attached according to FIG. 4, which engage in a lateral toothing of the slide. By pressing the same, for example, a quick deblocking can be carried out.
Der in Fig. 5 dargestellte Zentralschiebeverschluß 30 besitzt am Schiebeteil 32 einen Druckknopf 33 zur Schnell¬ entrastung.The central slide closure 30 shown in FIG. 5 has a push button 33 on the sliding part 32 for quick release.
