- the foot or the sole of the foot and with it also the heel always remain intimately connected to the sole area of the shoe and this gives the shoe wearer a secure feeling of contact with the ground.
- the foot also experiences the lowest possible stress in the sensitive sole area, does not tire as quickly and is only used in optimally suitable places, namely only in the area of the known very strong Achilles tendon and on the other hand in the area of the bony instep of the foot to hold the shoe, in the other, pressure-sensitive areas Areas, however, relieved considerably.
- the strain on the foot due to its connection to the shoe is therefore extremely cheap and without the risk of causing pain, especially since a comparatively wide, soft and elastic band can be used as a flexible organ, which ensures optimum comfort for the wearer of the shoe.
- the degree of tension of the organ and thus the strength and firmness of the intimate connection between the foot and the sole of the shoe can be chosen according to experience, the respective type of sport practiced by the shoe wearer and can be easily adjusted according to the respective desire and need.

Description
Die Erfindung betrifft einen Sportschuh, insbesondere einen Lauf-, Ski- oder Eislaufschuh.The invention relates to a sports shoe, in particular a running, skiing or ice skating shoe.
Ziel der Erfindung ist es, mit vergleichsweise einfachen Maßnahmen einen Sportschuh so zu gestalten bzw. so auszustatten, daß der Fuß des Benutzers beim Betreiben eines Bewegungssportes z. B. Laufen, Skifahren, Schlittschuhlaufen, Wandern oder irgend einer leichtathletischen Disziplin, besonders zuverlässig und auf Dauer mit der Sohle des Schuhes innig verbunden bleibt, dadurch vor einem ständigen, intermittierenden Abheben und Wiederaufsetzen auf der Sohle bewahrt und solcherart möglichst geschont wird.The aim of the invention is to design or equip a sports shoe with comparatively simple measures in such a way that the foot of the user when doing an exercise sport, for. B. running, skiing, ice skating, hiking or any athletic discipline, remains particularly reliable and intimately connected to the sole of the shoe in the long term, thereby protecting it from constant, intermittent lifting and putting back on the sole and thus protecting it as much as possible.
Die Erfindung beruht auf der Erkenntnis, daß bei den bisher bekannten Sportschuhen hierfür zu wenig Sorge getragen worden ist. Zwar hat man schon verschiedene Maßnahmen getroffen, um den Fuß des Schuhträgers möglichst mit dem Schuh zu verbinden (FR-A-1 280 939).The invention is based on the finding that too little care has been taken in the previously known sports shoes. Various measures have already been taken to connect the foot of the shoe wearer with the shoe as far as possible (FR-A-1 280 939).
Es konnte bisher nicht verhindert werden, daß sich der Fuß bei einer der oben genannten sportlichen Betätigungen des Schuhträgers insbesondere im Fersenbereich andauernd im Wechsel von der Schuhsohle abhob und wiederaufsetzte.It has so far not been possible to prevent the foot from constantly lifting off the shoe sole and putting it back on again during one of the above-mentioned sporting operations of the shoe wearer, in particular in the heel area.
Wenngleich das Ausmaß solcher Relativbewegungen zwischen der Fußsohle und der Schuhsohle verhältnismäßig gering ist, führte doch die dadurch verursachte Dauerbeanspruchung der ersteren allzuleicht und allzurasch zu Ermüdungserscheinungen, Unannehmlichkeiten und Schmerzen, insbesondere im Fersenbereich. Außerdem wurde das bei verschiedenen Sportarten wichtige Gefühl der Bodenhaftung beeinträchtigt und schließlich ging auch ein zunächst guter Paßsitz des Schuhes durch die Dauerbewegung des Fußes innerhalb des Schuhes allmählich verloren, weil die am Fuß anliegenden Bereiche der Innenseiten des Schuhoberteiles dauerbeansprucht wurden und einer Deformation sowie einem vorzeitigen Verschleiß unterlagen.Even though the extent of such relative movements between the sole of the foot and the sole of the shoe is relatively small, the resulting permanent stress all too easily and too quickly led to signs of fatigue, inconvenience and pain, especially in the heel area. In addition, the feeling of traction, which is important in various sports, was impaired and, finally, an initially good fit of the shoe was gradually lost due to the permanent movement of the foot inside the shoe, because the areas of the inside of the upper of the shoe which were in contact with the foot were subjected to permanent stress and cause deformation and premature wear Wear documents.
Das eingangs genannte Ziel der Erfindung wird nun ihrem wesentlichen Merkmal zufolge dadurch erreicht, daß der Sportschuh, insbesondere Lauf-, Ski- oder Eislaufschuh, mit einem der Halterung des Fußes an der Schuhsohle dienenden, an der Schuhsohle befestigten, über den Bereich der Achillessehne verlaufenden und in den Bereich des Fußristes geführten Band versehen ist, wobei ein einziges solches Band den Bereich des Mittelfußes überquerend in zwei an den beiden Flanken der Schuhsohle angeordneten Bügeln gleitend geführt ist.The object of the invention mentioned at the outset is now achieved according to its essential feature in that the sports shoe, in particular running, skiing or ice skating shoe, is attached to the sole of the shoe and is attached to the sole of the shoe and is attached to the sole of the shoe and extends over the area of the Achilles tendon and is provided in the region of the foot instep, a single such band being slidably guided across the region of the midfoot in two brackets arranged on the two flanks of the sole of the shoe.
Der Fuß bzw. die Fußsohle und mit ihr auch die Ferse bleiben stets innig mit dem Sohlenbereich des Schuhes verbunden und dies vermittelt dem Schuhträger ein sicheres Gefühl des Bodenkontaktes. Der Fuß erfährt außerdem geringstmögliche Beanspruchungen im empfindlichen Sohlenbereich, ermüdet nicht mehr so rasch und wird nur an optimal geeigneten Stellen, nämlich nur im Bereich der bekanntlich sehr kräftigen Achillessehne und anderseits im Bereich des knochigen Fußristes zur Halterung des Schuhes herangezogen, in den übrigen, druckempfindlichen Bereichen jedoch erheblich entlastet. Die Beanspruchung des Fußes durch seine Verbindung mit dem Schuh erfolgt somit überaus günstig und ohne Gefahr einer Schmerzverursachung, zumal als flexibles Organ ein vergleichsweise breites, weiches und elastisches Band verwendet werden kann, das ein Optimum an Bequemlichkeit für den Träger des Schuhes gewährleistet.The foot or the sole of the foot and with it also the heel always remain intimately connected to the sole area of the shoe and this gives the shoe wearer a secure feeling of contact with the ground. The foot also experiences the lowest possible stress in the sensitive sole area, does not tire as quickly and is only used in optimally suitable places, namely only in the area of the known very strong Achilles tendon and on the other hand in the area of the bony instep of the foot to hold the shoe, in the other, pressure-sensitive areas Areas, however, relieved considerably. The strain on the foot due to its connection to the shoe is therefore extremely cheap and without the risk of causing pain, especially since a comparatively wide, soft and elastic band can be used as a flexible organ, which ensures optimum comfort for the wearer of the shoe.
Es wird sich aus ästhetischen, modischen, aber auch aus praktischen Gründen empfehlen, ein solches Organ innerhalb des Schuhoberteiles verlaufend, also unsichtbar, anzuordnen, wobei es an der Innenseite der Schuhsohle, gegebenenfalls an einem im Schuhsohlenbereich eingebetteten Füllkörper, Einsatzkörper od. dgl. verankert werden kann und außerdem an dem gegebenenfalls mit einem Strumpf bekleideten Fuß des Schuhträgers ziemlich unmittelbar anliegt, so daß es in dieser unmittelbaren Anlage naturgemäß besonders wirksam und voll zur Geltung kommt.It is advisable for aesthetic, fashionable, but also for practical reasons to arrange such an organ running inside the upper of the shoe, i.e. invisibly, anchored on the inside of the shoe sole, possibly on a filler body, insert body or the like embedded in the shoe sole area can and also abuts the foot of the shoe wearer, who may be wearing a stocking, so that it is particularly effective and fully effective in this immediate system.
Das Ausmaß der Spannung des Organes und damit die Stärke und Festigkeit der innigen Verbindung zwischen Fuß und Schuhsohle kann nach Erfahrung, der jeweiligen Art des vom Schuhträger betriebenen Sportes entsprechend, gewählt werden und ist - dem jeweiligen Wunsch und Bedarf entsprechend - leicht regelbar.The degree of tension of the organ and thus the strength and firmness of the intimate connection between the foot and the sole of the shoe can be chosen according to experience, the respective type of sport practiced by the shoe wearer and can be easily adjusted according to the respective desire and need.
In einfachster Weise ist die Erfindung, z. B. bei Laufschuhen, Wanderschuhen, Bergsteigerschuhen od. dgl., derart zu verwirklichen, daß die Anspannung des flexiblen Organes dann durchgeführt wird, sobald der Fuß in den - geöffneten - Schuh hineingeschlüpft ist, und daß dann der Oberteil des Schuhes um den Fuß herum geschlossen wird. Dabei kann das flexible Organ oder eine Gruppe solcher Organe bei einfachsten Ausführungsformen des Erfindungsgegenstandes selbst als Verschlußmittel für den Schuhoberteil dienen.In the simplest way, the invention, for. B. in running shoes, hiking shoes, mountaineering shoes or the like. To realize such that the tensioning of the flexible member is then carried out as soon as the foot has slipped into the - opened - shoe, and then the upper part of the shoe around the foot is closed. In the simplest embodiments of the subject matter of the invention, the flexible organ or a group of such organs can itself serve as a closure means for the upper of the shoe.
Andererseits kann es vorgesehen sein, daß das im Schuhinneren angeordnete flexible Organ mittels einer von der Außenseite des Schuhes her, z. B. durch Drehung, betätigbaren Spannvorrichtung, vorzugsweise stufenlos, auf das jeweils gewünschte Ausmaß spannbar ist. Dies eignet sich begreiflicherweise besonders für Schuhe, die eine feste, insbesondere steife Außenschale aufweisen, also für moderne Ski-und Eishockeyschuhe.On the other hand, it can be provided that the flexible organ arranged inside the shoe by means of a from the outside of the shoe, for. B. by rotation, actuated clamping device, preferably continuously, can be clamped to the desired extent. It is understandable that this is particularly suitable for shoes which have a firm, in particular rigid outer shell, that is to say for modern ski and ice hockey shoes.
Diese Anordnung einer außenseitigen Spannvorrichtung erbringt den beachtenswerten Vorteil, daß es keiner Öffnung des Schuhes bedarf, um die Spannung des flexiblen Organes zu regeln; darüber hinaus ergibt sich der Vorteil, daß das Ausmaß dieser Spannung zeit- und bedarfsweise, z. B. in Pausen der Sportbetätigung, mühelos und ohne nennenswerten Zeitaufwand verändert werden kann, z. B. um die Spannung während solcher Pausen zu verringern bzw. dem Fuß diesbezüglich die Gelegenheit und Möglichkeit einer gewissen Erholung zu bieten.This arrangement of an outside tensioning device provides the remarkable advantage that no opening of the shoe is required to regulate the tension of the flexible member; moreover, there is the advantage that the extent of this voltage is time and need, z. B. during breaks in sports, effortlessly and without any significant amount of time can be changed, e.g. B. to reduce the tension during such breaks or to offer the foot the opportunity and opportunity for a certain recovery.
Um bei bestimmten, phasenweise ablaufenden Sportbetätigungen, die z. B. von Pausen durchsetzt sind, etwa beim Skisport, bei Eishokkey usw., einen raschen und mühelosen Wechsel zwischen verschiedenen Spannungszuständen herbeiführen zu können, mag es zweckdienlich sein, die Spannvorrichtung an einem gut und bequem zugänglichen Bereich des Schuhes, vorzugsweise an dem den Fußrist abdeckenden Bereich des Schuhoberteiles, anzuordnen.In order to carry out certain sports activities in phases, e.g. B. interspersed with breaks, such as skiing, ice hockey etc., to be able to bring about a quick and effortless change between different tension states, it may be useful to place the tensioning device on a well and easily accessible area of the shoe, preferably on the instep covering area of the shoe upper to be arranged.
Zur weiteren Verbesserung der Bequemlichkeit der Handhabung wird es in diesem Fall empfehlenswert sein, wenn die Spannung des Organes mittels eines der Spannvorrichtung zugeordneten Betätigungsgliedes, z. B. eines Druck-oder Drehknopfes, bedarfsweise und zeitweise lockerbar bzw. wieder anspannbar ist. Ein solches Betätigungsorgan läßt sich - etwa mit einem Skistock - unschwer erreichen und bequem handhaben.To further improve the convenience of handling, it will be recommended in this case if the tension of the organ by means of an actuator associated with the tensioning device, for. B. a push or rotary button, if necessary and temporarily loosened or can be tightened again. Such an actuator can be easily reached and handled comfortably - for example with a ski pole.
Insbesondere erweist es sich als vorteilhaft, das Organ in dem zum Anliegen an der Achillessehne des Fußes bestimmten Bereich aus elastischem Material auszubilden.In particular, it proves to be advantageous to design the organ from elastic material in the area intended to rest against the Achilles tendon of the foot.
Dadurch, daß sich ein solches flexibles Organ durchgehend über den Rist und die Achillessehne erstreckt und im Bereich der Fußsohlen-Wölbung in mit der Schuhsohle verbundenen Führungen gleitend geführt ist, kann der Fuß auf der Schuhsohle mittels eines einzigen Bandes od. dgl. fest und sicher befestigt werden, wobei er dank der gleitenden Lagerung des Bandes sowohl im Ristbereich als auch im Bereich der Achillessehne gehalten, aber dennoch unter Belassung einer gewissen Eigenbeweglichkeit begrenzt fixiert wird, weil die Verspannung sowohl nach hinten wie auch nach vorne, von dem Bereich unterhalb der Fußwölbung ausgehend schräg verläuft.Characterized in that such a flexible organ extends continuously over the instep and Achilles tendon and is slidably guided in the area of the sole of the foot in guides connected to the sole of the shoe, the foot on the sole of the shoe can be firmly and safely by means of a single band be fastened, thanks to the sliding support of the band, it is held both in the instep area and in the area of the Achilles tendon, but is still fixed to a limited extent while leaving a certain degree of flexibility, because the tension is both to the rear and to the front, from the area below the arch of the foot starting obliquely.
Gleichwohl sich die Erfindung zur Anwendung auf Sportschuhe aller Art, z. B. Laufschuhe, Fußballschuhe, Wanderschuhe, Bergsteigerschuhe usw., eignet, wobei sie gleichermaßen auf Schuhe ohne Oberteil als auch auf Schuhe mit Stoff-, Leder- oder Kunststoff-Oberteil anwendbar ist, ist die Erfindung doch mit ganz besonderen Vorteilen für die Anwendung bei solchen Schuhen prädestiniert, die eine aus steifem Material bestehende, an ihrer Innenseite gegebenenfalls mit Schaumstoff od. dgl. ausgekleidete Schale aufweisen, also etwa auf Skischuhe, Eishockeyschuhe u. dgl. anwendbar.Nevertheless, the invention for use on sports shoes of all kinds, for. B. running shoes, soccer shoes, hiking shoes, mountaineering shoes, etc., which is equally applicable to shoes without uppers as well as shoes with fabric, leather or plastic uppers, the invention is with very special advantages for the application predestined for those shoes which have a shell made of rigid material and optionally lined with foam or the like on the inside, for example on ski shoes, ice hockey shoes and the like. Like applicable.
Bei solchen Sportschuhen kann die Spannvorrichtung besonders günstig an der Außenseite dieser steifen Schale, vorzugsweise im Bereich des Fußristes, als im vorderen Teil des Schuhoberteiles, aufliegend, gegebenenfalls in einer Ausnehmung dieser Schale zumindest teilweise versenkt, angeordnet werden. In diesem Bereich ist die Spannvorrichtung besonders günstig zugänglich und betätigbar. Der Oberteil solcher Schuhe ist dann zweckmäßigerweise an seiner Rückseite zu öffnen bzw. zu verschließen.In such sports shoes, the tensioning device can be arranged particularly advantageously on the outside of this rigid shell, preferably in the area of the instep, as lying in the front part of the upper of the shoe, optionally at least partially recessed in a recess of this shell. In this area, the tensioning device is particularly cheaply accessible and operable. The upper part of such shoes is then expedient to open or close on the back.
Wie schon oben erwähnt, besteht einer der Hauptvorteile der erfindungsgemäßen Lösung darin, daß das flexible Organ schon allein für eine überaus zuverlässige Verbindung des Fußes mit der Schuhsohle und damit auch für eine ebensolche solide Verbindung des Fußes mit dem Schuh sorgt, so daß diese wünschenswert innige Verbindung nicht erst durch Vermittlung des Schuhoberteiles mittelbar geschaffen werden muß.As already mentioned above, one of the main advantages of the solution according to the invention is that the flexible organ alone provides an extremely reliable connection of the foot to the sole of the shoe and thus also a solid connection of the foot to the shoe, so that it desires intimately Connection does not have to be created indirectly through the mediation of the shoe upper.
Dank dieses Umstandes benötigt der Oberteil des Schuhes keiner aufwendigen und speziell bei Sportschuhen sehr störenden Bestückung mit Schnallen, Klemmen, Hebeln und Scharnieren, die üblicherweise dazu dienen, den Schuhoberteil mit dem Fuß möglichst fest zu verbinden, deren Betätigung jedoch mit einem erheblichen Mühe- und Zeitaufwand sowie mit Unbequemlichkeiten verknüpft ist, und die außerdem - insbesondere bei ungünstigen Witterungsverhältnissen, wie großer Kälte - störungsanfällig sind. Bei einem erfindungsgemäß ausgestatteten Sportschuh genügt gegebenenfalls eine einzige, den Schuhschaft zumindest teilweise umschließende Spannvorrichtung, um den Schuh einerseits zu verschließen und andererseits im Bereich oberhalb des Knöchels fest am Fuß anliegen zu lassen, weil ja für die eigentliche Halterung der Schuhsohle am Fuß des Schuhträgers ohnehin das erfindungsgemäße flexible Organ sorgt.Thanks to this circumstance, the upper part of the shoe does not require any elaborate and especially disturbing fitting with buckles, clamps, levers and hinges, which usually serve to connect the shoe upper part to the foot as firmly as possible, but their operation with considerable effort and effort Time is associated with inconveniences, and which are also prone to failure - especially in unfavorable weather conditions such as extreme cold. In the case of a sports shoe equipped according to the invention, a single tensioning device, which at least partially surrounds the upper of the shoe, may be sufficient to lock the shoe on the one hand and on the other hand to allow it to rest firmly against the foot in the area above the ankle, because anyway for the actual holding of the shoe sole on the foot of the shoe wearer the flexible organ according to the invention provides.
Ein Ausführungsbeispiel des Erfindungsgegenstandes ist in der einzigen Zeichnungsfigur, teils in einer Längsansicht, teils in einem Längsschnitt schematisch veranschaulicht.An embodiment of the subject matter of the invention is schematically illustrated in the single drawing figure, partly in a longitudinal view, partly in a longitudinal section.
Der als Ausführungsbeispiel dargestellte Skischuh besteht aus einer steifen, der Form des Fußes entsprechend gestalteten Schale 1 aus steifem Kunststoff, in deren Sohlenbereich ein Füllkörper 2 aus besonders hartem und widerstandsfähigem Material, wie Kunststoff oder Leichtmetall, z. B. Aluminium, eingebettet ist. Der Füllkörper 2 kann formschlüssig durch Einbettung im Material der Schale 1 und/oder auch mittels beliebiger anderer Hilfs- und Befestigungsmittel 2' oder mittels Kleber, mit der Schale 1 verbunden sein.The ski boot shown as an embodiment consists of a
Zu beiden Seiten trägt der Füllkörper 2 an den Längsrändern seiner Oberseite je einen langgestreckten Bügel 3; diese beiden Bügel, 3 können beispielsweise einzeln im Füllkörper 2 verankert sein oder an den beiden gegenüberliegenden Enden einer den Füllkörper 2 durch- oder überquerenden oder in ihm eingebetteten, z. B. aus Metall bestehenden Brücke 3' angeordnet sein.On both sides, the
Das bandförmige flexible Organ 4 ist durch diese beiden beidseits der Längsseiten des gestrichelt angedeuteten Fußes 5 im Bereich der Fußsohlen-Wölbung angeordnete Bügel 3 durchgezogen und erstreckt sich - in diesen Bügeln 3 gezogen und erstreckt sich - in diesen Bügeln 3 frei gleitend - teils über den Bereich 6 der Achillessehne des Fußes 5, teils über den Bereich 7 des Fuß-Ristes, wo sich die Spannvorrichtung 8 befindet, die entweder die beiden Enden des flexiblen Organes 4 aufnimmt oder von diesem Organ 4 durchlaufen wird, wenn es endlos ausgebildet ist. Jedenfalls läßt sich die wirksame, um den Fuß zu schlingende Länge dieses Organes 4 mittels der Spannvorrichtung 8 zwecks Regelung der Spannung verkürzen oder verlängern.The band-shaped flexible member 4 is pulled through these two
Ein Druckknopf 8' kann dazu benutzt werden, die Spannvorrichtung 8 bedarfsweise und zeitweilig, z. B. in Pausen einer sportlichen Betätigung, zu lockern bzw. nach solchen Pausen problemlos wieder wirksam werden zu lassen.A push button 8 'can be used to temporarily and temporarily adjust the tensioning device 8, e.g. B. during breaks in a sporting activity, to relax or to take effect again after such breaks.
Zumindest in dem am Bereich 6 der Achillessehne anliegenden Teil 4' des flexiblen Organes 4 kann dieses Organ elastisch ausgebildet sein, um geringfügige Bewegungen des Fußes 5 in bezug zur Schuhsohle bzw. zum Füllkörper 2 zuzulassen, ansonsten aber größere Bewegungen dieser Art zu unterbinden, die zu einer Dauerbeanspruchung der Fußsohle 9 bzw. der Ferse 5 des Fußes führen würden und dementsprechend beim Schuhträger eine vorzeitige Ermüdung und gegebenenfalls Schmerzen verursachen.At least in the part 4 'of the flexible organ 4 which bears against the
Die Spannvorrichtung 8 kann in einer Ausnehmung 1' der Schale 1 zumindest teilweise versenkt sein, um das flexible Organ 4 möglichst weitgehend in der Nähe des Fußes 5 erfassen zu können. An ihrer Innenseite ist die Schale 1 in üblicher Weise mit einer Auskleidung 10 versehen, z. B. mit einer Schaumstoffauskleidung.The tensioning device 8 can be at least partially recessed in a recess 1 'of the
Im Bereich des Schuhschaftes ist eine diesen Schaft umschließende Spann- und Verschlußvorrichtung 11 angeordnet, die dank der besonders zuverlässigen erfindungsgemäßen Verbindung des Fußes 5 mit dem dem Schuhinneren zugekehrten Bereich der Schuhsohle völlig ausreicht, um die an der Rückseite des Schuhes zu öffnende Schale 1 verschlossen zu halten und den Schaft am Fuß 5 satt anliegen zu lassen. Gewünschtenfalls können aber an der Rückseite des Schaftes noch zusätzliche Organe, wie Schnallen, Klemmen, Hebelscharniere usw. zum Verschließen der Schale 1 vorgesehen werden.Arranged in the area of the shoe upper is a tensioning and
