FussbekleidungsstückFoot garment
Technisches GebietTechnical area
[0001] Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf ein Fussbekleidungsstück, das insbesondere in der Ausbildung einer Socke oder eines Strumpfes, bestehend aus einem im Wesentlich ausgebildeten Strumpfelement, das mindestens teilweise den Fuss bedeckt, sowie mindestens einem Sohlenelement, wobei Strumpf und Sohlenelement einstückig miteinander verbunden sind.The invention relates to an article of footwear, in particular in the formation of a sock or stocking, consisting of a substantially trained stocking element that covers at least partially the foot, and at least one sole element, wherein the stocking and sole element are integrally connected to each other ,
Definitionendefinitions
[0002] In den nachfolgenden Beschreibungs- und Ausführungsbeispielen sowie den Ansprüchen werden Begriffe verwendet, die nachstehend erläutert werden.In the following description and exemplary embodiments and the claims terms are used, which are explained below.
[0003] Unter dem Begriff Fussbekleidungsstück ist ein Bekleidungsstück zu verstehen, das zumindest teilweise zur Bedeckung des Fusses eines menschlichen Körpers geeignet ist. Fussbekleidungsstücke können zum Beispiel Schuhe, aber auch Socken oder sockenähnliche Ausbildungen sein.The term article of footwear is understood to mean a garment which is at least partially suitable for covering the foot of a human body. Footwear items can be, for example, shoes, but also socks or sock-like formations.
[0004] Der Fuss des menschlichen Körpers ist als unterstes Teil des Beines zu verstehen. Die Struktur des menschlichen Fusses ist derart ausgebildet, dass dieser aus Zehen, Ballen, Sohle, Ferse, Spann (Fussrücken und Ristaussenkante) besteht. Insbesondere im Fusssohlenbereich und in den Zehen sind eine Vielzahl von Rezeptoren zum Fühlen angeordnet. Der Fuss selbst weist ein Längsgewölbe und ein Quergewölbe auf. Dadurch wird das Körpergewicht hauptsächlich über die drei Punkte, nämlich die Ferse, das Grosszehengrundgelenk (Grosszehenballen) und das Kleinzehengrundgelenk (Kleinzehenballen) getragen. Zusätzliche Muskulatur stützt das entsprechende Fussgewölbe.The foot of the human body is to be understood as the lowest part of the leg. The structure of the human foot is formed so that it consists of toes, bales, sole, heel, instep (back of the foot and instep edge). In particular, in the sole of the foot and in the toes, a plurality of receptors are arranged to feel. The foot itself has a longitudinal vault and a transverse arch. As a result, the body weight is mainly supported by the three points, namely the heel, the big toe ball and the small toe ball. Additional musculature supports the corresponding arch of the foot.
[0005] Die Fusssohle bildet sich im Wesentlichen aus einem Fettkörper, der Stösse dämpft und damit eine polsternde Wirkung aufweist. Nicht die gesamte Fusssohle hat einen Kontakt zum Boden. Im Bereich des Längsgewölbes beziehungsweise Fussinnenrandes liegt sie bei einem gesunden Fuss nicht auf.The sole of the foot essentially consists of a fat body which absorbs shocks and thus has a cushioning effect. Not the entire sole of the foot has contact with the ground. In the area of the longitudinal vault or inner edge of the foot, it lies at one healthy foot not on.
Stand der Technik sowie Nachteile des Standes der TechnikState of the art and disadvantages of the prior art
[0006] Aus dem Stand der Technik sind Fussbekleidungsstücke in vielfältigen Formen bekannt. Fussbekleidungsstücke können Socken, Schuhe, Füsslinge oder ähnlich vorgesehene Einrichtungen sein. Alle Einrichtungen haben das Ziel, den Fuss beziehungsweise die Fusssohle vor Verletzungen zu schützen oder auch den gesamten Fuss so entsprechend zu schützen, dass keine oder nur geringe Verletzungen auftreten, wenn entsprechende Beanspruchungen erfolgen.Footwear pieces in various forms are known from the prior art. Footwear may be socks, shoes, boots or similar facilities. All facilities have the goal to protect the foot or the sole of the foot from injury or to protect the entire foot so that little or no injury occurs when appropriate stress.
[0007] Insbesondere im Wassersport ist es wünschenswert, den Fuss zum einen vor Verletzungen zu schützen, aber auch höhere Standfestigkeiten herbeizuführen, um die auftretenden Kräfte besser übertragen zu können. Insbesondere beim Surf- oder Kitesport ist es notwendig, dass ein optimaler Kontakt zum Brett besteht. Optimaler Kontakt ist darin zu sehen, dass eine hohe Haftreibung vorgesehen ist, die mit einem Verrutschen des Fusses vermieden wird, da entsprechend hohe Scherkräfte auftreten und das Wasser noch zusätzlich dazu beiträgt, dass die Haftreibung geringer wird, insbesondere wenn ein Wasserfilm zwischen dem Fussbekleidungsstück und dem Brett vorliegt.Especially in water sports, it is desirable to protect the foot on the one hand from injury, but also to bring about higher stability in order to transmit the forces occurring better. Especially when surfing or kitesurfing, it is necessary that there is an optimal contact with the board. Optimal contact is to be seen in the fact that a high static friction is provided, which is avoided with a slippage of the foot, as correspondingly high shear forces occur and the water additionally contributes to the fact that the static friction is lower, especially if a film of water between the footwear and the board is present.
[0008] Um diesem Effekt entgegenzuwirken, sind sogenannte Surfschuhe entwickelt worden. So ist beispielsweise aus der DE 8902123 U (WINWARD SURF- ) 22.02.1989 ein Surfschuh beschrieben, dessen Aussenhaut aus elastischem Neopren besteht und eine Sohle aufweist, die aus einer Kautschukmischung gebildet ist. Die Kautschukmischung ist derart ausgebildet, dass eine gute Haftung und eine hohe Abriebfestigkeit erbracht wird. Auf der Haut ist Aussen im Vorderfussbereich und Knöchelbereich eine Lage aus einem reckfesten Stoff aufkaschiert.To counteract this effect, so-called surf shoes have been developed. For example, DE 8902123 U (WINWARD SURF-) 22.02.1989 describes a surf shoe whose outer skin consists of elastic neoprene and has a sole which is formed from a rubber mixture. The rubber mixture is designed such that a good adhesion and a high abrasion resistance is provided. On the skin, a layer of stretch-resistant fabric is laminated on the outside of the forefoot and ankle area.
[0009] Diese Schuhe sind deswegen für den Surfsport geeignet, da sie den entsprechenden Schutz für den Fuss bereitstellen, da ein fest durchgehendes Sohlenelement vorhanden ist, das sich von dem Zeh bis zur Ferse des Fusses erstreckt. In der Regel ist die Sohle auch entsprechend hart und wenig biegsam, so dass eine gerade Fläche von dem Zeh bis zur Fussferse vorgegeben ist. Damit ist ein fester Stand gewährleistet.These shoes are therefore suitable for surfing, as they provide the appropriate protection for the foot, since a solid-through sole element is present, which extends from the toe to the heel of the foot. In general, the sole is also correspondingly hard and less flexible, leaving a straight surface of the toe to toe heel is given. This ensures a firm footing.
[0010] Zudem besteht das entsprechende Strumpfelement des Surfschuhs aus einer oder mehreren Schichten Neopren. Dadurch wird vermieden, dass der Fuss auskühlt und so Krankheiten hervorgerufen werden können.In addition, the corresponding sock element of the surf shoe consists of one or more layers of neoprene. This prevents the foot from cooling down and causing disease.
[0011] Die auftretenden Scherkräfte werden aufgrund des festen Sitzes des Schuhs aufgenommen und abgeleitet.The shear forces occurring are absorbed and derived due to the tightness of the shoe.
[0012] Das harte Sohlenelement trägt dazu bei, dass dieses abriebfest ist, so dass der Surfschuh neben dem Wassersport auch beispielsweise im Sand getragen werden kann. Aufgrund des dicken Sohlenelements und auch der harten Ausgestaltung des Sohlenelements ist aber das an sich gewünschte und, um den Wassersport auszuüben, notwendige Barfussgefühl nicht vorhanden. Die Rezeptoren, die an der Fusssohle angeordnet sind, können nicht die entsprechenden Strukturen unterhalb des Sohlenelements aufnehmen, da das Sohlenelement dick und fest ist.The hard sole element helps that it is resistant to abrasion, so that the surfing shoe can be worn in addition to water sports, for example, in the sand. Due to the thick sole element and also the hard configuration of the sole element, however, the desired barefoot feeling and, in order to exercise water sports, are not present. The receptors located at the sole of the foot can not accommodate the corresponding structures below the sole element because the sole element is thick and strong.
[0013] Eine Alternative zu dem zuvor beschriebenen Surfschuh stellen sogenannte Wasserschuhe dar. Sie weisen zwar die ähnlichen Vorteile und Eigenschaften auf wie Surfschuhe, unterscheiden sich jedoch darin, dass zum einen das Sohlenelement wesentlich weicher ausgestaltet ist und dass auch das übrige Strumpfelement des Schuhs weicher ausgestaltet ist. In der Regel ist das Strumpfelement wesentlich kürzer gestaltet und erstreckt sich nur minimal über einen herkömmlichen Schuhrand. Aber auch hier ist das entsprechende Barfussgefühl nicht gegeben. Zudem können auftretende Scherkräfte nicht aufgenommen werden, da der Schuh sehr locker am Fuss sitzt.An alternative to the surfing shoe described above are so-called water shoes. Although they have the similar advantages and properties of surfing shoes, but differ in that on the one hand the sole element is designed much softer and that the rest of the sock element of the shoe softer is designed. As a rule, the stocking element is designed substantially shorter and extends only minimally over a conventional shoe edge. But here is the corresponding barefoot feeling is not given. In addition, occurring shear forces can not be absorbed because the shoe sits very loose on the foot.
[0014] Eine weitere Ausführungsform gemäss dem Stand der Technik sieht vor, dass handelsübliche Socken im Fussbereich mit einer gummiartigen Sohle versehen sind. Dadurch ist es nicht mehr notwendig, beispielsweise Hausschuhe zu tragen, da die gummiartige Sohle die Fusssohle entsprechend schützt und wärmt. Diese Ausführungsform hat jedoch den Nachteil, dass sie weder Wasser noch Sand ausgesetzt werden kann.A further embodiment according to the prior art provides that commercial socks are provided in the foot area with a rubber-like sole. Thus, it is no longer necessary, for example, to wear slippers, as the rubbery sole protects the sole of the foot and warms accordingly. However, this embodiment has the disadvantage that it can not be exposed to water or sand.
[0015] Sie weisen jedoch auch die Nachteile auf, dass keine Scherkräfte aufgenommen werden können und auch durch die entsprechende Dicke beziehungsweise noppenartige Ausbildung des Sohlenelements, das gewünschte Barfussgefühl nicht entstehen kann.However, they also have the disadvantages that no shear forces can be absorbed and also by the appropriate thickness or knob-like design of the sole element, the desired Barfussgefühl can not arise.
[0016] Weitere Ausbildungen von Fussbekleidungsstücken, die insbesondere im Wassersport Anwendung finden, sind sogenannte Sandsocks. Diese bestehen überwiegend aus dünnem Neopren und sind dafür geeignet, insbesondere den Fuss bei Sportarten, wie Beachvolleyball, zu schützen. Es handelt sich dabei um eine sockenartige Ausgestaltung mit einem dünnen Neoprenmaterial, das zusätzlich auf der Fusssohlenseite mit einer abriebfesten Gummischicht kaschiert ist.Further embodiments of footwear items that are used in particular in water sports, are so-called sand docks. These are mainly made of thin neoprene and are suitable to protect especially the foot in sports, such as beach volleyball. It is a sock-like design with a thin neoprene material, which is additionally laminated on the sole of the foot with an abrasion-resistant rubber layer.
[0017] Sie sind auch den Surfschuhen ähnlich, unterscheiden sich jedoch darin, dass das Sohlenelement dünner ausgebildet ist. Das übrige Strumpfelement der Sandsocks ist ein- oder zweilagiges Neopren, das einstückig vernäht ist.They are also similar to surfing shoes, but differ in that the sole element is made thinner. The remaining stocking element of the sand-socks is single- or double-layered neoprene, which is sewn in one piece.
[0018] Auch die Sandsocks weisen den Nachteil auf, dass das sogenannte Barfussgefühl fehlt. Zudem können die Sandsocks kaum Scherkräfte aufnehmen, da sie sehr locker am Fuss angeordnet sind. Bei auftretenden Scherkräften verrutscht die Socke, wirft Falten und so können Blasen entstehen und auch der sichere Stand ist damit nicht mehr gewährleistet.The sandbags also have the disadvantage that the so-called barefoot feeling is missing. In addition, the sand docks can hardly absorb shear forces, because they are very loosely arranged on the foot. If there are shearing forces, the sock slips, wrinkles and blisters can form, and the safe standing is no longer guaranteed.
[0019] Andere gemäss dem Stand der Technik vorgesehene Ausbildungen für Fussbekleidungsstücke sind sogenannte Zehensocken. Diese Zehensocken sind derart ausgestaltet, dass die Zehen entsprechend einzelne Aufnahmen aufweisen, so dass ähnlich wie ein Fingerhandschuh, die Zehen einzeln von dem Strumpfelement umgeben sind. Dadurch sind die Freiheiten der einzelnen Zehen grösser und auch das Gefühl hinsichtlich des Untergrundes, auf dem der Fuss abrollt, ist wesentlich grösser.Other according to the prior art provided designs for footwear pieces are so-called toe socks. These toe socks are configured such that the toes have corresponding individual receptacles, so that similar to a finger glove, the toes are individually surrounded by the sock element. As a result, the freedoms of the individual toes are greater and also the feeling in terms of the substrate on which the foot rolls, is much larger.
[0020] Insbesondere sind aus dem Stand der Technik Freeclimbingschuhe bekannt, die bereits zehenartige Ausnehmungen aufweisen. Diese Schuhe sitzen sehr enganliegend und flach an dem Aussenspann des Fusses. Auch diese Schuhe sind nicht dafür geeignet, zum einen mit Wasser in Kontakt zu treten, da jeglicher Halt innerhalb des Schuhes dadurch verloren geht und zum anderen können auch solche Schuhe nur geringe Scherkräfte aufnehmen, da sie an sich nur für Senkrechtbelastung und für den Schutz der Fusssohle geeignet sind. [0021] Alle vorgenannten Schuhe ergeben aufgrund ihrer technischenIn particular, free climbing shoes are known from the prior art, which already have toe-like recesses. These shoes are very tight fitting and flat on the outer span of the foot. Also, these shoes are not suitable, on the one hand to get in touch with water, since any support within the shoe is lost and on the other hand, such shoes can only small Shearing forces, since they are only suitable for vertical load and for the protection of the sole of the foot. All the above shoes result due to their technical
Eigenschaften und aufgrund ihres Anwendungsgebiets dem Benutzer nicht das Gefühl, barfuss zu laufen, bei gleichzeitiger Sicherheit, sich aufgrund von Scherben oder dergleichen, nicht zu verletzen.Properties and because of their field of application, the user does not feel barefoot, at the same time not to be injured due to shards or the like.
Aufgabe der ErfindungObject of the invention
[0022] Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, ein Fussbekleidungsstück bereitzustellen, das geeignet ist, den Fuss beziehungsweise die Fusssohle vor entsprechenden Verletzungen, die beispielsweise durch Scherben, Korallen oder ähnliches entstehen können, zu schützen und dennoch ein „Barfuss-Gefühl" zu vermitteln.The object of the invention is to provide an article of footwear, which is suitable to protect the foot or the sole of the foot before corresponding injuries, which may arise for example by shards, corals or the like, and yet to convey a "barefoot feeling".
Lösung der AufgabeSolution of the task
[0023] Die Lösung der Aufgabe wird durch den kennzeichnenden Teil von Anspruch 1 dargestellt.The solution of the problem is represented by the characterizing part of claim 1.
Vorteile der ErfindungAdvantages of the invention
[0024] Der wesentliche Vorteil der Erfindung besteht darin, dass einThe main advantage of the invention is that a
Fussbekleidungsstück geschaffen worden ist, das den Fuss, insbesondere vor Verletzungen, schützt, beispielsweise beim Surfen, aber auch beim Strandlaufen oder durch Gewässergehen und beispielsweise beim Start eines Surfvorganges durch Korallen oder Scherben.Footwear item has been created that protects the foot, especially from injury, for example, when surfing, but also when walking on the beach or by going for a walk and, for example, at the start of a surfing operation by corals or shards.
[0025] Gleichzeitig ist die Fussbekleidung derart ausgestaltet, dass dasAt the same time, the footwear is designed such that the
Barfussgefühl nicht verloren geht. Das Barfussgefühl ist deswegen wichtig, da es insbesondere zur Ausübung des Surf- und Kitesports notwendig ist, um den Kontakt zum entsprechenden Brett herzustellen und die Reaktion entsprechend zu fühlen. Auch beim Strandlaufen ist es notwendig, auf der einen Seite den Fuss vor Verletzungen zu schützen, aber auch wünschenswert, den Kontakt zur Natur und zur entsprechenden Bodenstruktur zu erhalten. [0026] Alternativ und in einer besonderen Ausfühungsform kann vorgesehen werden, das Fussbekleidungsstück für den tatsächlichen Barfussläufer auszubilden, so dass dieses auch optisch mit der normalen Tageskleidung zusammen getragen werden kann. Dies ermöglicht es dem Benutzer, zu jederzeit auch in Großstädten, in denen an sich aufgrund von Scherben oder ähnlichen Gegenständen erhebliches Verletzungspotential besteht, „barfuss zu laufen". Das besondere Fussbekleidungsstück ist vorzugsweise ähnlich einer Socke ausgebildet, jedoch mit einem bestimmten beschichteten Material versehen, das die Eigenschaft aufweist, Scherben oder dergleichen von der Haut abzuhalten. Alternativ kann auch vorgesehen sein, zumindest teilsweise ein spezielles Gewebe zu verwenden, das dieselben Eigenschaften zeigt. Die den Fuss umschliessende Bandage gibt einen besonderen Halt. Sie kann beispielswiese aus einem elastischen oder auch lederartigen Material ausgebildet sein.Barefoot feeling is not lost. The barefoot feeling is important because it is especially necessary to practice surfing and kitesurfing in order to make contact with the corresponding board and to feel the reaction accordingly. Even when walking on the beach it is necessary to protect the foot from injury on the one hand, but also to maintain contact with nature and the corresponding soil structure. Alternatively, and in a particular embodiment may be provided to form the footwear piece for the actual barefoot runner, so that this can also be worn visually with the normal day clothes together. This allows the user to "walk barefoot" at any time, even in major cities where there is considerable potential for injury due to shards or similar objects, The particular footwear is preferably similar to a sock, but provided with a particular coated material. Alternatively, it may also be provided to use, at least in part, a special fabric which exhibits the same properties The bandage enclosing the foot gives a special hold, for example it can be made of an elastic or elastic material be formed leathery material.
[0027] Für die Gestaltung des erfindungsgemässen Fussbekleidungsstücks wird vorteilhafterweise ein Material vorgeschlagen, das sehr dünn und leicht ist, aber schnittfeste Eigenschaften aufweist. Vorzugsweise ist es nicht oder nur geringfügig dehnbar. Durch diese Eigenschaften wird ein „geschütztes Barfussgefühl" vermittelt.For the design of the inventive footwear piece is advantageously proposed a material that is very thin and lightweight, but has cut-resistant properties. Preferably, it is not or only slightly stretchable. These characteristics convey a "protected barefoot feeling".
[0028] Als Grundelement wird eine speziell ausgestaltetes Sockenelement bereitgestellt, das sich von herkömmlichen Fussbekleidungsstücken dadurch unterscheidet, dass die Zehen jeweils (vergleichbar mit Fingerhandschuhen) aufgenommen werden. Das Grundelement, nachstehend Strumpfelement genannt, wird aus einem leichten und dünnen, vorzugsweise schnittfesten Material gebildet, das vorzugsweise an mehreren Stellen durch netzartiges Gewebe durchsetzt ist. Letzteres Gewebe, auch Mesh-Gewebe genannt, ist dehnfähig und lässt Flüssigkeiten, wie beispielsweise Wasser nahezu ungehindert durchfliessen. Dieses Mesh-Gewebe bringt neben dem bequemeren (da dehnfähig) Einsteigen in das Fussbekleidungsstück somit auch den Vorteil mit, dass das in dem übrigen Strumpfelement gehaltene Wasser durch dieses Mesh-Gewebe abfliessen kann. [0029] Alternativ kann auch ein aus dem Stand der Technik bekanntes Gewebe verwendet werden, das in einem weiteren Bearbeitungsprozess beschichtet wird, so dass die gewünschten Eigenschaften bereitgestellt werden können.As a basic element, a specially designed sock element is provided, which differs from conventional footwear pieces in that the toes are each taken (comparable to finger gloves). The basic element, hereinafter referred to as sock element, is formed from a light and thin, preferably cut-resistant material, which is preferably interspersed at several points by net-like fabric. The latter fabric, also called mesh fabric, is stretchable and allows liquids such as water to flow through almost unhindered. This mesh fabric, in addition to the more comfortable (since stretchable) entering the item of footwear thus also has the advantage that the water held in the rest of the sock element can flow through this mesh fabric. Alternatively, a known from the prior art tissue can be used, which is coated in a further processing process, so that the desired properties can be provided.
[0030] Aus fertigungstechnischen Gründen ist das Strumpfelement in zwei Teile aufgeteilt, wobei die Naht vorzugsweise im Bereich des Mesh-Gewebes des oberen Fussrists angeordnet ist. Dadurch ist ein einfaches und unsichtbares Zusammenfügen möglich.For manufacturing reasons, the sock element is divided into two parts, wherein the seam is preferably arranged in the region of the mesh fabric of the upper Fußrists. This makes a simple and invisible assembly possible.
[0031] Um einen optimalen Halt des Fussbekleidungsstücks an dem Fuss zu gewährleisten, ist neben einer enganliegenden Passform ein zusätzlicher Bandageriemen vorgesehen. Ein freies Ende des Bandageriemens ist im Fussbereich des Strumpfelements fest angeordnet. Es lässt sich nach dem Anziehen des Strumpfelements über den Rist des Fusses und anschliessend um den Bereich des Fussknöchels bandagemässig wickeln.In order to ensure an optimal grip of the footwear piece on the foot, an additional band strap is provided in addition to a tight fit. A free end of Bandageriemens is fixedly arranged in the foot of the Strumpfelements. It can be wound bandagemässig after tightening the Strumpfelements over the instep of the foot and then around the area of the ankle.
[0032] Vorteilhafterweise ist der Bandageriemen im Bereich des Fussgewölbes an dem Strumpfelement unverlierbar angeordnet. Zusätzlich besteht er aus einem flexiblen Material.Advantageously, the band belt is arranged captive in the region of the arch of the foot on the sock element. In addition, it consists of a flexible material.
[0033] Um vorteilhafterweise die Eigenschaften der Schnittfestigkeit zu erhöhen und damit das Verletzungsrisiko zu verringern, aber dennoch nicht das Barfussgefühl zu mindern, wird keine durchgängige Sohle verwendet, wie sie beispielsweise aus dem Stand der Technik bekannt ist. Vielmehr werden nur ausgewählte Bereiche mit einem Sohlenteilelement versehen, damit insbesondere (neben der zusätzlichen Schnittfestigkeit) auch ein rutschfester Stand gewährleistet wird.In order to advantageously increase the properties of the cut resistance and thus reduce the risk of injury, but still not to reduce the Barfussgefühl, no continuous sole is used, as is known for example from the prior art. Rather, only selected areas are provided with a sole member, so in particular (in addition to the additional cut resistance) and a non-slip stand is guaranteed.
[0034] Hierzu wird das Sohlenelement ausschliesslich im Bereich der Fussferse (FF), des Fussballens (FB) und eventuell des grossen Zehs (FGZ) mit einer zusätzlichen gummiartigen Schicht belegt beziehungsweise bedruckt. Insbesondere im Bereich des Fussballens sind zusätzlich kreisförmige Rillen angeordnet, die ein Drehen des Fusses unter Belastung erleichtern.For this purpose, the sole element is occupied exclusively in the area of the foot heel (FF), the football (FB) and possibly the big toe (FGZ) with an additional rubbery layer or printed. Especially in the field of football additional circular grooves are arranged, which facilitate a turning of the foot under load.
[0035] Im Bereich der Zehen ist eine dünne gummiartige Schicht auf das Strumpfelement aufgedruckt. Zusätzlich sind an dem Fussbekleidungsstück die Randausbildungen des Bandageriemens mit einer dünnen gummiartigen Schicht bedruckt. Dadurch wird ebenfalls eine bessere Standfestigkeit erreicht.In the area of the toes, a thin rubber-like layer is printed on the stocking element. In addition to the footwear piece, the edge formations of Bandageriemens with printed on a thin rubber-like layer. This also achieves better stability.
[0036] Das erfindungsgemässe Fussbekleidungsstück ist vielseitig einsetzbar. Auf der einen Seite kann es im Bereich Sport eingesetzt werden, bei dem es unmittelbar in Kontakt mit Wasser gelangt. Durch diese erfindungsgemässe Ausbildung wird dem Benutzer ein Barfussgefühl und trotzdem optimaler Halt auf einem Untergrund, wie beispielsweise ein Schiffsdeck oder ein Kiteboard, geboten. Auch ein Einsatz im Bereich des Beachvolleyballs oder -handballs ist vorgesehen. Auch hier steht die Vermittlung des Barfussgefühls im Vordergund mit gleichzeitigem Schutz des Fusses vor Verletzungen wie Schürfungen, Verbrennungen et cetera. Auf der anderen Seite bietet das vielfältig auszugestaltende Fussbekleidungsstück die Möglichkeit, es als „Schuh" im herkömmlichen Sinne zu verwenden. Viele Menschen haben das Bedürfnis, frei von Zwängen eines herkömmlichen Schuhs, barfuss zu gehen. Sie vermeiden es jedoch, um insbesondere in Städten keine Verletzungen zu erleiden. Das erfindungsgemässe Fussbekleidungsstück bietet jetzt die Möglichkeit, anstelle eines herkömmlichen Schuhs getragen zu werden, um den Benutzer das Gefühl des „barfussgehens" zu haben und dennoch vor Verletzungen geschützt zu sein. Auch optisch und technisch lässt sich das Fussbekleidungsstück derart gestalten, dass es einem herkömmlichen Schuh - bezogen auf seine Optik - nicht nachsteht.The inventive footwear piece is versatile. On the one hand, it can be used in sports, where it comes into direct contact with water. This inventive design provides the user with a barefoot feel and yet optimum grip on a surface, such as a ship's deck or a kiteboard. Also a use in the field of beach volleyball or handball is provided. Here, too, communicating the barefoot feeling in the foreground with simultaneous protection of the foot from injuries such as abrasions, burns et cetera. On the other hand, the versatile piece of footwear offers the possibility to use it as a "shoe" in the traditional sense: many people feel the need to walk barefoot without the constraints of a conventional shoe, but they avoid it, especially in cities The article of footwear according to the invention now offers the possibility of being worn instead of a conventional shoe in order to give the user the feeling of "barefoot walking" and yet to be protected from injury. Also visually and technically, the footwear piece can be designed in such a way that it does not lag behind a conventional shoe - in terms of its appearance.

Beschreibung des AusführungsbeispielsDescription of the embodiment
[0044] In Figur 1 ist das erfindungsgemässe Fussbekleidungsstück 1 dargestellt. Das Fussbekleidungsstück 1 besteht im Wesentlichen aus zwei Elementen, nämlich einem Strumpfelement 2 und einem Bandageriemen 3.In Figure 1, the inventive footwear item 1 is shown. The article of footwear 1 consists essentially of two elements, namely a sock element 2 and a band belt 3.
[0045] Das Strumpfelement 2 erstreckt sich von ungefähr dem Fussknöchel FK bis zu den Zehen Z und weist damit eine strumpfartige Ausbildung auf. Vorzugsweise ist die strumpfartige Ausbildung ähnlich einer herkömmlichen Socke beziehungsweise eines Strumpfes. Aus Herstellungsgründen weist dieses Strumpfelement 2 zwei Teile auf.The sock element 2 extends from approximately the ankle FK to the toe Z and thus has a stocking-like design. Preferably, the stocking-like construction is similar to a conventional sock or stocking. For manufacturing reasons, this sock element 2 has two parts.
[0046] Das Strumpfelement 2 ist in mehrere Bereiche unterteilt.The sock element 2 is divided into several areas.
[0047] Im Bereich der Zehen Z weist das Strumpfelement 2 Aufnahmen 4 für die jeweiligen Zehen Z, die in den Zeichnungen nicht näher dargestellt sind, auf. Von hier aus ausgehend erstreckt sich das Strumpfelement 2 über die Fusssohle FS beziehungsweise den Fussspann FSP über die Fussferse FF und dem Fussknöchel FK bis vorzugsweise hin zum Fussrist FR.In the area of the toes Z, the sock element 2 has receptacles 4 for the respective toes Z, which are not shown in greater detail in the drawings. Starting from here, the sock element 2 extends over the foot sole FS or the footstrap FSP via the foot heel FF and the ankle FK, preferably up to the footrest FR.
[0048] Das Strumpfelement 2 besteht überwiegend aus einem vorzugsweise einlagig verarbeiteten SpezialStoff 5, der die Eigenschaften aufweist, dünn ausgebildet zu sein, aber dennoch schnittfest und vorzugsweise elastisch zugleich zu sein. Vorzugsweise ist ein Spezialstoff 5, bestehend aus einer Mischung von Teflon und Baumwolle, vorgesehen. [0049] Insbesondere in den Bereichen des Fussknöchels FK und in Teilen des Fussspannes FSP sind leicht elastische, vorzugsweise zweischichtige Netzmaterialien 6 vorgesehen.The sock element 2 consists predominantly of a preferably single-layer processed special fabric 5, which has the properties of being thin, but still cut-resistant and preferably elastic at the same time. Preferably, a special substance 5 consisting of a mixture of Teflon and cotton is provided. Especially in the areas of the ankle FK and in parts of the footrest FSP slightly elastic, preferably two-layered mesh materials 6 are provided.
[0050] Diese Netzmaterialien 6 dienen dazu, dass das Strumpfelement 2 einfach angezogen werden kann, sofern der übrige Spezialstoff 5 nur eine geringe oder keine Dehnfähigkeit aufweist. Gerade im Bereich der Fussknöchel FK, aber auch im Bereich des Fussspannes FSP, ist beim Anziehen Elastizität gefordert, damit das Fussbekleidungsstück 1 von den Zehen Z bis hin zum Fussrist FR einfach übergestreift werden kann.These mesh materials 6 serve that the sock element 2 can be easily tightened, provided that the rest of the special fabric 5 has only a low or no elasticity. Especially in the area of the ankle FK, but also in the area of the foot strap FSP, elasticity is required when tightening, so that the footwear piece 1 can be simply slipped over from the toe Z to the footrest FR.
[0051] Das Strumpfelement 2 weist weiterhin die Eigenschaft auf, dass es zwar anliegend an dem Fuss ausgestaltet ist, jedoch aufgrund der, insbesondere beim Surfen und Laufen, auftretenden Scherkräfte, sehr leicht verrutschen kann.The stocking element 2 further has the property that, although it is configured adjacent to the foot, but due to the, especially during surfing and running, occurring shear forces, can easily slip.
[0052] Um dies zu verhindern, ist erfindungsgemäss ein Bandageriemen 3 vorgesehen. Der Bandageriemen 3 erstreckt sich von der Fusssohle FS über den Fussspann FSP bis hin zum Fussrist FR.In order to prevent this, according to the invention a band belt 3 is provided. The band belt 3 extends from the foot sole FS via the foot strap FSP up to the footrest FR.
[0053] Vorzugsweise besteht dieser Bandageriemen 3 aus einem elastischenPreferably, this band belt 3 is made of an elastic
Band, beispielsweise einem Neoprenstoff und ist entsprechend der Form des Fusses angepasst. Somit dient der Bandageriemen 3 dazu, das Fussbekleidungsstück 1 am Fuss zu fixieren.Band, for example, a neoprene fabric and is adapted according to the shape of the foot. Thus, the banding belt 3 serves to fix the footwear item 1 on the foot.
[0054] Damit ein einfaches Fixieren des Bandageriemens 3 möglich ist, ist am freien Ende des Bandageriemens 3 ein Klettverschluss 8 vorgesehen.So that a simple fixing of the Bandageriemens 3 is possible, a hook and loop fastener 8 is provided at the free end of the Bandageriemens 3.
[0055] Wie in Figur 2 in Unteransicht des Fussbekleidungsstückes 1 dargestellt, ist insbesondere in den Bereichen, in denen die Fusssohle FS in Kontakt mit einem Boden, einem Surfbrett oder ähnlichem tritt, eine gummiartige Schicht 9 aufgebracht. Vorzugsweise ist diese gummiartige Schicht 9, wie sie auch in Figur 1 an unterschiedlichen Stellen dargestellt ist, insbesondere im Bereich der Fussferse FF des Fussballens FB und des grossen Zehs FGZ angeordnet und vorzugsweise auch mit einem entsprechenden Profil ausgestattet. Das Profil soll zur wesentlich besseren Bodenhaftung führen und dass der, zwischen der auftretenden Fläche und der gummiartigen Schicht 9, entstehende Wasserfilm in das Profil eindringen kann und so die Kontaktfläche verbessert wird. Bei dem hier dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel unterscheidet sich das Profil der gummiartigen Schicht 9 von dem übrigen dadurch, dass es kreisförmig ausgestaltet ist. Dadurch ist ein einfacheres Verdrehen des Fusses in diesem 'Punkt' möglich.As shown in Figure 2 in bottom view of the article of footwear 1, a rubbery layer 9 is applied in particular in those areas in which the sole of foot FS comes into contact with a floor, a surfboard or the like. Preferably, this rubber-like layer 9, as also shown in Figure 1 at different locations, in particular in the area of the foot heel FF of the football FB and the big toe FGZ arranged and preferably also equipped with a corresponding profile. The profile should lead to much better grip and that the, between the occurring surface and the rubber-like layer 9, resulting water film can penetrate into the profile and so the contact surface is improved. In which illustrated embodiment, the profile of the rubber-like layer 9 differs from the rest in that it is designed circular. This makes it easier to twist the foot in this 'point'.
[0056] In den übrigen Bereichen, die mit dem Boden in Kontakt kommen, insbesondere die übrigen Zehen Z und die Randausbildungen 10 des Bandageriemens 3, ist vorzugsweise eine dünne Gummischicht 11 aufgedruckt. Auch diese dünne Gummischicht 11 dient dazu, die Haftreibung zwischen dem Boden und dem Fuss zu verbessern.In the other areas, which come into contact with the ground, in particular the remaining toes Z and the edge formations 10 of the Bandageriemens 3, preferably a thin rubber layer 11 is printed. Also, this thin rubber layer 11 serves to improve the static friction between the floor and the foot.
[0057] Da nur wenige Bereiche der Fusssohle FS mit der gummiartigen Schicht 9 oder aber auch der dünnen Gummischicht 11 vorgesehen sind, bleibt das Barfussgefühl soweit erhalten.Since only a few areas of the sole of the foot FS are provided with the rubber-like layer 9 or even the thin rubber layer 11, the barefoot feeling remains intact.
[0058] Im Hinblick auf die Fertigung ist vorgesehen, das Fussbekleidungsstück 1 , so wie es in Figur 3 dargestellt ist, zweiteilig auszubilden und über eine Naht 12 miteinander unverlierbar zu verbinden.With regard to the production is provided, the footwear piece 1, as shown in Figure 3, in two parts form and connect to each other via a seam 12 captive.
[0059] Figur 4 zeigt ein weiteres Ausführungsbeispiel des Strumpfelements 2. Es unterscheidet sich von dem gemäss Figur 3 dadurch, dass im Bereich des Fussspanns FSP beziehungsweise der Naht 12 ein Netzmaterial 6 vorgesehen ist.FIG. 4 shows a further exemplary embodiment of the struma element 2. It differs from that according to FIG. 3 in that a mesh material 6 is provided in the region of the foot strap FSP or the seam 12.
[0060] Das Netzmaterial 6 weist grundsätzlich die Eigenschaft auf, dass es Wasser durchlässt. Ferner weist es die Eigenschaft auf, dass es eine entsprechende Dehnfähigkeit aufweist. Zudem weist das Netzmaterial 6 eine definierte Dicke auf. Dadurch wird ein angenehmer Tragekomfort gewährleistet.The net material 6 basically has the property of allowing water to pass through. Further, it has the property of having a corresponding extensibility. In addition, the mesh material 6 has a defined thickness. This ensures a comfortable fit.
[0061] Der Bandageriemen 3 ist als langgestrecktes Element ausgebildet und weist vorwiegend einen schalartigen Charakter auf. Das eine freie Ende des Bandageriemens 3 ist fest im Bereich des Fussgewölbes FG der Fusssohle FS verbunden. Vorzugsweise ist der Bandageriemen 3, so wie es beispielhaft in Figur 5A dargestellt ist, angenäht.The band belt 3 is formed as an elongated element and has a mainly scarf-like character. The one free end of the Bandageriemens 3 is firmly connected in the region of the arch FG of the sole of the foot FS. Preferably, the band belt 3, as it is exemplified in Figure 5A, sewn on.
[0062] Für den Einstieg in das Fussbekleidungsstück 1 greift der Benutzer mit einer Hand an einer Zuglasche 13, sobald er diese über die Zehen und den Fussrist FR gezogen hat. Durch Ziehen in Pfeilrichtung 14 (Figur 5A) wird das Fussbekleidungsstück 1 über die Fussferse FF gezogen. Dabei dehnt sich das Netzmaterial 6 im Bereich des Fussknöchels FK.For the entry into the article of footwear 1, the user grips with one hand on a pull tab 13, as soon as he has pulled this over the toe and the footrest FR. By pulling in the direction of arrow 14 (FIG. 5A) the article of footwear 1 is pulled over the foot heel FF. The mesh material 6 expands in the region of the ankle FK.
[0063] Sobald das Fussbekleidungsstück 1 über den Fuss gezogen worden ist und sockenartig den Fuss umschliesst, wird gemäss Figur 5A der Bandageriemen 3 mit der Hand unter dem Fussgewölbe FG hindurchgeführt und wie es in Figur 5B gezeigt ist, über den Fussspann FS bis hin zum Fussrist FR, wie in Figur 5C dargestellt, geführt. Wickelartig wird das weitere freie Ende um den Fussrist FR geführt bis das freie Ende über den Klettverschluss 8 an dem eigenen Bandageriemen 3 fixiert werden kann.As soon as the item of footwear 1 has been pulled over the foot and encircles the foot in a sock-like manner, according to FIG. 5A the bandage belt 3 is passed by hand under the arch FG and, as shown in FIG. 5B, over the footrest FS up to the foot Footrest FR, as shown in Figure 5C, out. Like a winding, the other free end is led around the footrest FR until the free end can be fixed to the own banding belt 3 via the hook-and-loop fastener 8.
[0064] Aufgrund der Elastizität des Bandageriemens 3 entsteht eine entsprechende Fixierung des Fussbekleidungsstückes 1 an dem Fuss und es wird insbesondere verhindert, dass bei den auftretenden Scherkräften das Fussbekleidungsstück 1 , insbesondere im Sohlenbereich hin- und herrutscht.Due to the elasticity of the Bandageriemens 3 creates a corresponding fixation of the footwear item 1 on the foot and it is particularly prevented that at the shear forces occurring the footwear piece 1, in particular in the sole region back and slips.
[0065] Eine optimale Fixierung ist somit gewährleistet.An optimal fixation is thus ensured.
[0066] Das beschriebene Ausführungsbeispiel ist nicht beschränkend. Vielmehr sind unter dem erfindungsgemässen Fussbekleidungsstück alle die Ausführungen und Einsatzgebiete zu verstehen, bei denen ein „barfussgefühl" gewünscht ist und trotzdem die Eigenschaft vorhanden sein muss, den Fuss vor Verletzungen zu schützen. Aus diesem Grund können auch solche Ausführungsformen vorgesehen sein, die nicht für den Sport vorgesehen sind, sondern vielmehr die Eigenschaft mit sich bringen, mit eleganter oder alltäglicher Kleidung getragen werden zu können. Daher ist es nicht unbedingt Voraussetzung, dass ausschliesslich High-Tech-Materialien verwendet werden. Insbesondere als Bandageelement können auch lederartige Materialien eingesetzt werden. Bezugszeichenliste [0067] 1 FussbekleidungsstuckThe described embodiment is not limiting. Rather, the footwear according to the invention means all embodiments and areas of application in which a "barefoot feel" is desired and yet the property must be present of protecting the foot from injury sports, but rather the ability to be worn with elegant or everyday clothing, so it is not essential to use only high-tech materials, especially as a bandage element leathery materials can be used.
