Definitions

  • the invention relates to a shoe bottom, in particular for sports shoes, with the features according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • Such weak points can be achieved by reducing the thickness of the shoe bottom or sole in the joint area, expediently leaving a central web running approximately in the longitudinal direction of the shoe (DE-AS 14 85 804), or recesses which protrude from the side edge of the shoe bottom can be provided, which can be provided by a less rigid filling material are filled (DE-PS 943 996).
  • insoles In an effort to prevent the natural rotation of the forefoot relative to the heel during the rolling movement through the shoe bottom, insoles have already been designed with weakening zones in the joint area (DE-A 21 30 628). If such known insoles are intended for shoes with a stressed heel, they have a steel hinge spring to support the arch of the foot, ie to prevent the sole joint from penetrating, which spring is designed or arranged in such a way that it has as little effect as possible on the desired rotatability of the insole . Since, in the case of a shoe bottom of the type in question, the longitudinal arch of the foot is supported via the running side of the sole which is also provided in the joint area, ie there is no pronounced heel, there is no need for supporting the steel joint spring. Therefore, one would omit the steel hinge spring in any case when using such a known insole for a shoe bottom of this type, in sports shoes for weight reasons alone. This does not eliminate the above-mentioned lack of flexibility in the joint area.
  • the invention is therefore based on the object of providing a shoe bottom of the type described at the outset which ensures better guidance and support of the foot without impairing the desired torsional decoupling between the front and rear sole.
  • the hinge of the shoe bottom is thus stiffened against bending about an axis running transversely to the longitudinal direction of the shoe by stiffening means, the increased resistance to bending primarily affecting such a bend, which is known as the curvature of the
  • the bottom of the shoe has a convex effect downwards, ie towards the running side.
  • a tensile element as a stiffening means, which is anchored in the shoe longitudinal direction in the shoe bottom close to its running side.
  • This tensile element itself does not need to have any bending stiffness, since the stiffening of the shoe bottom is achieved due to the lack or only very little stretchability of the tensile element and its arrangement below the "neutral bending fiber" of the shoe bottom.
  • the flexural rigidity of the shoe bottom in the joint can therefore be controlled within wide limits by using such a traction means without the torsional rigidity of the shoe bottom in the joint being influenced thereby.
  • Another significant advantage is that compared to stiffeners that have their own bending stiffness (e.g. steel hinge springs or the like), the stiffening can be kept considerably easier by the traction means, which is important for sports shoes. Because tensile and almost inextensible materials of high strength and very low weight are available, e.g. Metal wires, carbon and glass fibers, plastic wires and ribbon-like elements made from them.
  • the weak points in the joint of the shoe bottom that reduce the torsional rigidity are recesses that protrude transversely or obliquely (towards the front or rear) from the edge and that extend to a web of the shoe bottom that runs in the longitudinal direction of the shoe .
  • the web expediently runs approximately in the middle between the side edges of the shoe bottom.
  • the tensile element runs along this web. It can be - in the usual manufacture of the shoe bottom made of plastic - embedded in the web near its underside.
  • the tensile element along the free lower surface of the web, wherein a wear sole attached to the front sole and the rear sole ensures that the tensile element does not come into direct contact with the ground. In this way, the tensile element is arranged very close to the running side of the shoe bottom.
  • the stiffening means even if it is formed by the tensile element discussed above, can be embedded in its entire length in the shoe bottom, so that it is able to transmit stiffening forces over its entire length.
  • this is not mandatory, since both rigid and only tensile stiffeners essentially require that both ends be fixed sufficiently firmly in the shoe bottom.
  • Anchoring inserts are provided at the ends of the stiffening means, which are fastened in the shoe bottom, for example directly embedded. These anchoring inserts are designed so that they can resist a shift in the longitudinal direction of the shoe, in accordance with the forces acting on them when the shoe bottom rolls off.
  • the outsole shown in the drawings which together with an insole, not shown, forms a shoe bottom, consists essentially of a midsole 1 made of foamed plastic, e.g. Polyurethane, and a running sole 2, which can be profiled.
  • the outsole is divided into a front sole area 3 and a rear sole area 4 in the joint 5. The subdivision is achieved by two recesses 6, 7 projecting obliquely forward and inward from the outer edge of the sole or the inner edge of the sole, which - as can be seen in FIG. 3 - penetrate the shoe bottom by more than half its height.
  • the thickness of the midsole 1 is left unchanged, so that a web 8 running approximately centrally in the longitudinal direction of the sole is thereby created.
  • the front sole area 3 is "decoupled" in terms of torsion with respect to the rear sole area 4, i.e. the front sole area 3 can rotate relative to the rear sole area 4 about an axis running approximately along the web 8, which corresponds to the natural foot movement during the rolling process and therefore promotes this.
  • the stiffening element 9 consists of tensile and low-stretch plastic wires 91 (for example made of nylon), which are combined in parallel next to one another to form a flat track, and of anchoring inserts 92 and 93 fastened to the ends of the plastic wires 91.
  • the plastic wires 91 which have a diameter of 1, for example , 5 mm, are firmly connected to the anchoring inserts 92, 93, which are also expediently made of plastic, for example by direct embedding in them.
  • the plastic wires 91 can also be connected to one another along their length.
  • the anchoring inserts 92, 93 are plate-shaped (see FIG. 2) and have lateral wings 94. Openings 95 are provided in the anchoring inserts 92, 93 through which the material of the midsole 1 during casting or Can pass through the molding process and embed the anchoring inserts.
  • the wear sole has one in both sections, namely in the front sole area 3 and in the rear sole area 4 Interruption 10 in which the plastic wires 91 are exposed. This avoids the curvature of the band formed by the plastic wires 91 when the front sole area 3 is twisted relative to the rear sole area 4.
  • the recess 10 is not necessary; it is entirely possible to completely cover the stiffening element 9 and in particular the plastic wires 91 by means of the wear sole 2 in order to protect them from damage.
  • the bending stiffness of the outsole about a transverse axis running perpendicular to the web 8 can be controlled by the resistance to tensile expansion of the stiffening element 9. If the bending stiffness is to be increased, it can be considered to increase the number and thus the layer width of the plastic wires 91. In principle, a thickening of the plastic wires is also conceivable, but it should be avoided that the torsional rigidity of the shoe bottom in the joint is increased by a thickening.
