Abstract

A shoe, in particular for children, consisting of an outsole and an upper part, is to be designed in such a manner that the possibility is afforded in a simple, inexpensive and inconspicuous manner of, by regular monitoring, accurately measuring the distance remaining from the toe tips to the upper part adjoining the toe of the outsole, in order to recognise in good time whether the shoe has become too small. This is achieved in that the transparent part (3) is arranged within the outsole (1) and extends at least over the front third of the outsole (1). The front part of the transparent part (3) serves as support for calibrated markings (6, 7). <IMAGE>

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen aus einer Laufsohle und einem Oberteil bestehenden Schuh, insbesondere Kinderschuh, mit einem einen ungehinderten Durchblick in den Innenraum des Schuhes ermöglichenden durchsichtigen Bereich.The invention relates to a shoe consisting of an outsole and an upper, in particular a children's shoe, with a transparent area which enables an unobstructed view into the interior of the shoe.

Ein Kinderschuh wird üblicherweise so dimensioniert, daß er ausreichende Wachstumsreserven für den Fuß enthält. Ein Schuh von beispielsweise 100 mm Länge enthält eine Wachs­tumsreserve von 12 mm, bezogen auf den Innenraum des Schuhes. Jedoch kann die Längenzugabe von 12 mm nicht in vollem Umfange ausgenutzt werden, da ansonsten das freie Wachsen des noch nicht stabilisierten Kinderfußes behindert werden würde. Es sind weder die Knochen hart ausgebildet, noch sind die Muskeln bei Kinderfüßen ausgeprägt. Sowohl Knochen als auch Fleisch sind mehr oder weniger noch verformbar. Aus diesen Gründen ist eine laufende Kontrolle der Wachstumsreserve wünschenswert.A children's shoe is usually dimensioned so that it contains sufficient growth reserves for the foot. A shoe of, for example, 100 mm in length contains a growth reserve of 12 mm, based on the interior of the shoe. However, the length allowance of 12 mm cannot be used to the full extent, otherwise the free growth of the child's foot, which has not yet been stabilized, would be hindered. The bones are not developed hard, nor are the muscles in children's feet pronounced. Both bones and flesh are more or less deformable. For these reasons, ongoing monitoring of the growth reserve is desirable.

Aus dem DE-GM 79 13 903 ist ein Kinderschuh bekannt, bei dem der Schaft in seinem vorderen Teil aus einem durchsichtigen Material besteht. Damit soll es möglich sein, die Paßgenauigkeit hinsichtlich Länge und Ballen­breite sowie die Paßform beim Kauf eines Schuhes einfach und genau überprüfen zu können.From DE-GM 79 13 903 a children's shoe is known in which the upper consists of a transparent material in the front part. This should make it possible to easily and accurately check the fit accuracy in terms of length and ball width as well as the fit when buying a shoe.

Abgesehen von dem wenig geschmackvollen Aussehen des be­kannten Schuhes besteht nicht die Möglichkeit, während des Wachsens der Füße laufend genau zu überprüfen, wieviel Freiraum für den Fuß bzw. für die Zehen noch vorhanden ist, um rechtzeitig feststellen zu können, wann die Schuhe zu klein sind. Außerdem ist die Herstellung umständlich und teuer, da die Verbindung von durchsichtigen und undurch­sichtigen Teilen des Schaftes nur mit zusätzlicher Handar­beit möglich ist.Apart from the less tasteful appearance of the known shoe, there is no possibility of constantly checking exactly how much space is still available for the foot or for the toes while the feet are growing is to be able to determine in good time when the shoes are too small. In addition, the production is cumbersome and expensive, since the connection of transparent and opaque parts of the shaft is only possible with additional manual work.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, durch eine ein­fache und unauffällige, das Design des Schuhes nicht stören­de Gestaltung, die Möglichkeit zu schaffen, durch regelmäßige Überwachung den verbleibenden Abstand der Zehenspitzen von dem an die Spitze der Laufsohle anschließenden Oberteil ge­nau abzumessen, um rechtzeitig zu erkennen, ob der Schuh zu klein geworden ist.The invention has for its object to provide a simple and unobtrusive, the design of the shoe not disturbing design, the ability to accurately measure the remaining distance of the toes from the upper part adjoining the tip of the outsole by regular monitoring in order to recognize in good time whether the shoe has become too small.

Diese Aufgabe wird nach dem Kennzeichen des Anspruchs 1 dadurch gelöst, daß der durchsichtige Bereich innerhalb der Laufsohle vorgesehen ist und sich wenigstens über etwa das vordere Drittel der Laufsohle erstreckt und daß der vordere Teil des durchsichtigen Bereichs als Träger für geeichte Markierungen dient.This object is achieved according to the characterizing part of claim 1 in that the transparent area is provided within the outsole and extends at least over approximately the front third of the outsole and in that the front part of the transparent area serves as a carrier for verified markings.

Diese geeichten Markierungen sind in Form von Linien und/­oder Zahlen auf der Innenseite oder auf der Außenseite des durchsichtigen Bereichs oder innerhalb der Sohlen­schicht des durchsichtigen Bereichs angebracht. Sie können aber auch als Erhöhungen in Form von Linien und/oder Zahlen auf der Außenseite des durchsichtigen Bereichs aufgebracht sein.These calibrated markings are applied in the form of lines and / or numbers on the inside or on the outside of the transparent area or within the sole layer of the transparent area. However, they can also be applied as elevations in the form of lines and / or numbers on the outside of the transparent area.

Zur Ausbildung einer Warnzone als Kriterium für einen zu klein gewordenen Schuh ist diejenige Markierung, die dem kleinsten zulässigen Abstand der Zehenspitzen von dem an die Spitze der Laufsohle anschließenden Oberteil entspricht, besonders hervorgehoben, beispielsweise durch eine andere Form oder Farbe oder durch die vorderste Kante des entsprechend verkürzten durchsichtigen Bereichs.In order to form a warning zone as a criterion for a shoe that has become too small, that marking is the smallest permissible distance between the toes of the toes the tip of the upper part adjoining the outsole corresponds, particularly highlighted, for example by a different shape or color or by the foremost edge of the correspondingly shortened transparent area.

Nach einer vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist ein weiterer durchsichtiger Bereich innerhalb der Lauf­sohle vorgesehen, der sich wenigstens über etwa das hintere Viertel der Laufsohle erstreckt. Damit kann beobachtet werden, ob beim Vermessen des Abstandes der Zehenspitzen von dem vorderen Oberteil die Ferse am hinteren Oberteil fest anliegt oder etwa einen das Meßergebnis verfälschenden Abstand von diesem hat.According to an advantageous embodiment of the invention, a further transparent area is provided within the outsole, which extends at least over approximately the rear quarter of the outsole. It can thus be observed whether when measuring the distance of the toe tips from the front upper part, the heel is firmly in contact with the rear upper part or is at a distance from it distorting the measurement result.

Um ein Verkratzen der Oberfläche der durchsichtigen Bereiche zu vermeiden, sind nach einer weiteren Ausbildung der Er­findung die durchsichtigen Bereiche mit einer überstehenden Umrandung versehen, deren Material eine höhere Abriebfestig­keit aufweist als das Material der durchsichtigen Bereiche. Dabei kann der übrige Teil des undurchsichtigen Bereichs der Laufsohle mit einer aus gleichem Material und gleicher Abriebfestigkeit wie die Umrandung bestehenden Außenschicht abgedeckt sein, die sich an die Umrandung einstückig anschließt.In order to avoid scratching the surface of the transparent areas, according to a further embodiment of the invention, the transparent areas are provided with a protruding border, the material of which has a higher abrasion resistance than the material of the transparent areas. The remaining part of the opaque area of the outsole can be covered with an outer layer made of the same material and the same abrasion resistance as the border, which adjoins the border in one piece.

Nach einer anderen Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist die Laufsohle aus einer sich über den ganzen Sohlenbereich erstreckenden, aus durchsichtigem Material bestehenden Schicht aufgebaut, auf die eine die durchsichtigen Bereiche freilassende, überstehende Umrandung und eine den übrigen Bereich abdeckende Außenschicht aufgesetzt sind, deren Material eine höhere Abriebfestigkeit aufweist als das Material der durchsichtigen Bereiche.According to another embodiment of the invention, the outsole is constructed from a layer made of transparent material, which extends over the entire sole area, onto which are placed a protruding border that leaves the transparent areas and an outer layer covering the remaining area, the material of which has a higher abrasion resistance has as the material of the transparent areas.

Um einen besseren Halt des Fußes in dem Schuh zu erreichen, ist die aus durchsichtigem Material bestehende Schicht an allen Seiten wannenförmig hochgezogen und mit dem Oberteil verbunden, oder die aus durchsichtigem Material bestehende Schicht trägt eine innere, aus weicherem Material bestehende Schicht, die mit dem Oberteil vernäht ist, während die aus härterem Material bestehende Schicht an allen Seiten wannenförmig hochgezogen und mit dem Ober­teil sowie mit der inneren Schicht verbunden ist.In order to achieve a better hold of the foot in the shoe, the layer made of transparent material is raised in the form of a trough on all sides and connected to the upper, or the layer made of transparent material carries an inner layer made of softer material, which corresponds to the The upper part is sewn, while the layer made of harder material is trough-shaped on all sides and connected to the upper part and the inner layer.

Dabei kann die innere Schicht aus durchsichtigem Material, insbesondere einer reißfesten Folie, bestehen. Sie kann aber auch aus einer textilen Einnähsohle bestehen, die in den durchsichtigen Bereichen aus durchsichtigem Fasermaterial aufgebaut ist.The inner layer can consist of transparent material, in particular a tear-resistant film. However, it can also consist of a textile sewing-in sole which is constructed in the transparent areas from transparent fiber material.

Um eine einfache und kostengünstige Herstellung zu ermög­lichen, sind die Schichten der Laufsohle durch Spritzen, Schäumen oder Vulkanisieren untereinander und/oder mit dem Oberteil verbunden.In order to enable simple and inexpensive production, the layers of the outsole are connected to one another and / or to the upper by spraying, foaming or vulcanizing.

Zum Erhöhen der Rutschfestigkeit sind die durchsichtigen Bereiche mit Erhöhungen in Form von Linien und/oder in anderen Formen versehen.To increase the slip resistance, the transparent areas are provided with elevations in the form of lines and / or in other shapes.

Nach einer weiteren Ausgestaltung der Erfindung sind die durchsichtigen Bereiche der Laufsohle aus Kunststoff, beispielsweise Vinylpolymerisat, Polyolefin, Polystyrol, Polymethacrylsäureester, Polycarbonat, thermoplastischem Polyacrylnitril, Polyurethan, oder aus Gummi hergestellt, während die undurchsichtigen Bereiche der Laufsohle aus Kunststoff, beispielsweise Polyvinylchlorid oder Polyurethan, aus thermoplastischem Kautschuk oder aus Gummi bestehen.According to a further embodiment of the invention, the transparent areas of the outsole are made of plastic, for example vinyl polymer, polyolefin, polystyrene, polymethacrylic acid ester, polycarbonate, thermoplastic polyacrylonitrile, polyurethane, or rubber, while the opaque areas of the outsole are made of plastic, for example polyvinyl chloride or Polyurethane, thermoplastic rubber or rubber.

Ein Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung ist in der Zeichnung dargestellt und wird im folgenden näher beschrieben. Es zeigen

  • Figur 1 eine Unteransicht der Laufsohle eines Schuhes gemäß der Erfindung und
  • Figur 2 einen Längsschnitt durch die Laufsohle eines solchen Schuhes entlang der Linie A-A.
An embodiment of the invention is shown in the drawing and will be described in more detail below. Show it
  • Figure 1 is a bottom view of the outsole of a shoe according to the invention and
  • Figure 2 shows a longitudinal section through the outsole of such a shoe along the line AA.

Ein Kinderschuh, der aus einer Laufsohle 1 und einem Oberteil 2 besteht, weist zwei einen ungehinderten Durch­blick in den Innenraum des Schuhes ermöglichende durch­sichtige Bereiche 3, 4 auf, die innerhalb der Laufsohle 1 vorgesehen sind, von denen sich der vordere Bereich 3 über etwa das vordere Drittel und der hintere Bereich 4 über etwa das hintere Viertel der Laufsohle 1 erstrecken.A children's shoe, which consists of an outsole 1 and an upper 2, has two transparent areas 3, 4, which allow an unobstructed view into the interior of the shoe, which are provided within the outsole 1, of which the front area 3 extends over approximately that The front third and the rear area 4 extend over approximately the rear quarter of the outsole 1.

Im vorderen Teil des vorderen durchsichtigen Bereichs 3 sind geeichte Markierungen als Erhöhungen in Form von Linien 6 und /oder Zahlen 7 auf der Außenseite dieses Bereichs 3 aufgebracht, die die Vermessung des Abstandes der Zehenspitze von dem an die Spitze der Laufsohle 1 anschließenden Oberteil 2 ermöglichen.In the front part of the front transparent area 3, calibrated markings are applied as elevations in the form of lines 6 and / or numbers 7 on the outside of this area 3, which enable the measurement of the distance of the toe tip from the upper part 2 adjoining the tip of the outsole 1 .

Die geeichten Markierungen können auch in Form von Linien und/oder Zahlen auf der Innenseite oder auf der Außenseite des vorderen durchsichtigen Bereichs 3 aufgebracht oder innerhalb der Sohlenschicht des vorderen durchsichtigen Bereichs 3 angebracht sein.The calibrated markings can also be applied in the form of lines and / or numbers on the inside or on the outside of the front transparent area 3 or within the sole layer of the front transparent area Area 3 may be appropriate.

Zur Ausbildung einer Warnzone als Kriterium für einen zu klein gewordenen Schuh ist diejenige Markierung 12, die den kleinsten zulässigen Abstand der Zehenspitzen von dem an die Spitze der Laufsohle 1 anschließenden Oberteil 2 angibt, besonders hervorgehoben, beispielsweise durch eine andere Form oder eine andere Farbe.In order to form a warning zone as a criterion for a shoe that has become too small, the marking 12 that indicates the smallest permissible distance of the toe tips from the upper part 2 adjoining the tip of the outsole 1 is particularly emphasized, for example by a different shape or a different color.

Die beiden durchsichtigen Bereiche 3, 4 sind mit einer überstehenden Umrandung 5 versehen, deren Material eine höhere Abriebfestigkeit aufweist als das Material der durchsichtigen Bereiche 3, 4. Der übrige Teil des undurch­sichtigen Bereichs der Laufsohle 1 ist mit einer aus gleichem Material und gleicher Abriebfestigkeit wie die Umrandung 5 bestehenden Außenschicht 11 abgedeckt, die sich an die Umrandung 5 einstückig anschließt.The two transparent areas 3, 4 are provided with a protruding border 5, the material of which has a higher abrasion resistance than the material of the transparent areas 3, 4. The remaining part of the opaque area of the outsole 1 is of the same material and the same abrasion resistance as the border 5 existing outer layer 11 covered, which adjoins the border 5 in one piece.

Die Laufsohle 1 ist aus einer sich über den ganzen Sohlenbereich erstreckenden, aus durchsichtigem Material bestehenden Schicht 9 aufgebaut, auf deren Außenseite eine die durchsichtigen Bereiche 3, 4 freilassende, überstehende Umrandung 5 und eine den übrigen Bereich abdeckende Außen­schicht aufgesetzt sind, deren Material eine höhere Ab­riebfestigkeit aufweist als das Material der durchsichti­gen Bereiche 3, 4. Die durchsichtige Schicht 9 trägt auf ihrer Innenseite eine aus weicherem Material bestehende Schicht 8, die mit dem Oberteil 2 vernäht ist, während die aus dem härteren Material bestehende durchsichtige Schicht 9 an allen Seiten wannenförmig hochgezogen und mit dem Oberteil 2 sowie mit der inneren Schicht 8 verbunden ist.The outsole 1 is made up of a layer 9 made of transparent material and extending over the entire sole area, on the outside of which there is a protruding border 5 that leaves the transparent areas 3, 4 open and an outer layer covering the remaining area, the material of which is a higher one Abrasion resistance than the material of the transparent areas 3, 4. The transparent layer 9 carries on its inside a layer 8 made of softer material, which is sewn to the upper part 2, while the transparent layer 9 made of the harder material on all sides trough-shaped pulled up and connected to the upper part 2 and to the inner layer 8.

Die innere Schicht 8 besteht entweder aus durchsichtigem Material, insbesondere aus einer reißfesten Folie, oder aus einer textilen Einnähsohle, die in den durchsichtigen Bereichen 3, 4 aus durchsichtigem Fasermaterial aufgebaut ist. Die beiden Schichten 8, 9 sowie die überstehende Umrandung 5 und die den übrigen Bereich abdeckende Außenschicht 11 sind durch Spritzen, Schäumen, Kleben oder Vulkanisieren untereinander und/oder mit dem Oberteil 2 verbunden.The inner layer 8 consists either of transparent material, in particular of a tear-resistant film, or of a textile sewing-in sole, which is made of transparent fiber material in the transparent areas 3, 4. The two layers 8, 9 as well as the protruding border 5 and the outer layer 11 covering the remaining area are connected to one another and / or to the upper part 2 by spraying, foaming, gluing or vulcanizing.

Bei Schuhen in der California-Machart kann die die Brand­sohle bildende innere Schicht bzw. Innensohle 8 über den gesamten Umfangsrand mit dem stumpf angesetzten, umlaufenden Ende des Schaftes 2 vernäht sein.In shoes of the California design, the inner layer or insole 8 forming the insole can be sewn over the entire peripheral edge to the bluntly attached, circumferential end of the upper 2.

Die beiden durchsichtigen Bereiche 3, 4 sind mit Erhöhungen in Form von Linien 6 und/oder in anderen Formen, beispiels­weise mit runden oder polygonalen Noppen 10 versehen.The two transparent areas 3, 4 are provided with elevations in the form of lines 6 and / or in other shapes, for example with round or polygonal knobs 10.

Die durchsichtigen Bereiche 3, 4 sind aus Kunststoff, beispielsweise Vinylpolymerisat, Polyolefin, Polystryrol, Polymethacrylsäureester, Polycarbonat, thermoplastischem Polyacrylnitril, Polyurethan oder aus Gummi hergestellt, während der undurchsichtige Bereich aus abriebfestem Kunststoff, beispielsweise Polyvinylchlorid oder Polyurethan, aus thermoplastischem Kautschuk oder aus Gummi besteht.The transparent areas 3, 4 are made of plastic, for example vinyl polymer, polyolefin, polystyrene, polymethacrylic acid ester, polycarbonate, thermoplastic polyacrylonitrile, polyurethane or rubber, while the opaque area consists of abrasion-resistant plastic, for example polyvinyl chloride or polyurethane, of thermoplastic rubber or rubber .

Für die Eichung bzw. Markierung der richtigen Schuhgröße kann grundsätzlich auch die undurchsichtige Umrandung 5 des vordersten Sohlenbereichs mit herangezogen werden, insbesondere dann, wenn die Umrandung 5 an der Sohlenspitze in Richtung Fußballen so verbreitert ist, daß ein "Hinweinwachsen" der Zehenspitzen in diesen Bereich bzw. das Verlassen des durchsichtigen Bereichs 3 durch die Zehenspitzen die gewünschte Warnmarkierung darstellt.In principle, the opaque border 5 of the foremost sole area can also be used for the calibration or marking of the correct shoe size, in particular if the border 5 on the The sole tip is so widened in the direction of the ball of the foot that "toe-growing" of the toe tips in this area or leaving the transparent area 3 by the toe tips represents the desired warning marking.

Auch wenn sich die Erfindung bevorzugt auf Kinderschuhe bezieht, so sind weitere Anwendungsgebiete durchaus denkbar, insbesondere auf dem breiten Sektor der orthopädischen Schuhe, der Rehabilitationsschuhe oder der SportschuheEven if the invention relates preferably to children's shoes, further areas of application are conceivable, in particular in the broad sector of orthopedic shoes, rehabilitation shoes or sports shoes
