Definitions

  • the invention relates to an increased shoe heel in Stiletto shape or conical wedge shape, which is one of the shape of the Paragraph adapted core as well as a one-piece, from rubber-flexible material existing outer shell that the Core encased.
  • a molded sole with a flat, wide shoe heel with a low height which is damped from impact, and which has a soft-elastic core with high internal damping and a closed, one-piece spring-elastic outer shell made of flexible plastic or rubber material includes as a damping element.
  • An additional spring element forms a coil spring arranged inside, which is filled with gas.
  • the outer shell also forms the spring element and has a core as a damping element, which is flexible to the same extent as the outer spring element and has the same height as the spring element in the unloaded state, the outer shell and the core being compressed equally when loaded.
  • This makes it possible for the outer jacket to be compressed to the core under load.
  • this proposal is an optimal solution for double impact damping, in which the body can save energy and the ankles are extremely relieved.
  • the heel end becomes thinner and the tread area is reduced, there would be no stability with a soft-elastic core, since the tread force with a soft core and a soft cover can break off the thin heel laterally.
  • the height of the soft elastic core is the same as the soft elastic outer shell. There would be no performance tour.
  • DE 29 08 023 A1 shows a fashionable, raised heel that is composed of different wedge parts.
  • the Cone layers are made of elastic material, on one attached upper and lower contact surface and preferably about the same thickness over the entire Heel cross section.
  • the task lies with this construction to provide a heel of a type in which a sufficient suspension is available, but one Horizontal displacement of the lower part of the heel within narrow limits is held.
  • This problem is to be solved in that both contact surfaces facing each other first and second Have sections, the first of which in the direction of travel diagonally from top to bottom, the second diagonally opposite run.
  • the heel construction according to US-A-50 026 provides in a heel made of rubber or equivalent material Attach wood core, the wood core only for the purpose it is intended to attach the heel to the shoe bottom to enable by nails or staples.
  • the side walls of the Outer shells are relatively thin.
  • the outer shell is solid with the core through Vulcanization connected. Furthermore, the Attenuation only suggested at the bottom of the core to store more rubber material.
  • the present invention is therefore based on the object an increased heel in the shape of a stiletto or conical To create a wedge shape that is characterized by both a high mechanical stability against lateral evasion or Bending as well as a high level of impact damping distinguished.
  • This task is characterized by the characteristics of the Claim 1 solved.
  • the outer shell is made of rubber-flexible material manufactured, which can be changed in its Shore hardness.
  • the outer shell is in one piece, e.g. B. made of polyurethane, Termical rubbers, thermoplastic rubber, others Soft plastic materials that are also in Shore hardness change, manufactured so that the paragraph one vertical, elastic in the direction of its longitudinal axis compressible part which has the weight when performing dampens resiliently, and is higher in the unloaded state, than the inelastic core.
  • the soft outer shell shows through different forms, corresponding to those of the hard Kerns on the bottom, top and side walls, exactly their greatest strength there.
  • the paragraph form is in height, Width, depth and shapes variable.
  • the heel mark is injection molded or integrally with the walls of the outer shell especially for assembly or as a repair spare part at normal height and for leg length adjustment, manufactured at a special height. He consists of the same material as the outer shell with a or several pins made of hard plastic, which are used for repairs are inserted into the pilot holes in the core lower surface. Of the the inelastic core and the soft outer shell correspond exactly to each other on the inner walls. The outer wall determines the prepared mold for the spraying process.
  • the hard core has an overall straight surface, the Closure takes place on the shaft with the lid and the Side walls of the outer shell.
  • the connection from the core to The outer shell is loose or firm, depending on the use.
  • the outer shell can be attached to the core in one separate operation, or the core will be before Injection process already inserted in the mold.
  • the attachment on The upper part is made with screws and nails or on others Way, the screws and nails through the soft Go outer shell cover into the hard core.
  • the screw is a metal or hard plastic ring in one corresponding recess in the lid around the screw.
  • the outer cover is glued or loosely attached to the core.
  • the outer shell with lid is loose on all inner walls, without connection to the core, or fixed lid adhesive on the upper core surface without connection to the side and lower Inner walls made to the core.
  • the soft outer shell is firmly with the hard core connected. It is attached to the upper with screws and nails. In this case, the paragraph is closed with the core and the slightly raised side walls for Pointing shaft. All outer side walls of the heel are worked with or without conical grooves, depending on Use form. With grooves and a soft heel cover Degree of damping higher than without grooves and soft heel cover, as the compression occurs when the material is deformed can occur in the grooves and more during the decompression process Bounce arises.
  • the soft outer shell is with everyone Variants in the unloaded state higher than the hard core.
  • the outer shell can also have the core on the side walls the outer cover or with the cover the outer cover on the surface of the core, depending on the type of use.
  • the paragraph is also to be made so that the outer shell around the core with a slight layer on the core surface is sprayed, and that the heel mark separately is assembled.
  • the heel mark also consists of the same Material like the outer shell and is with hard plastic pins embedded in the actual paragraph.
  • the inelastic Pens are foamed after the heel stain has solidified or inserted into the mold before the injection process.
  • the fashionable appearance of the outer shell is due to coloring of the material of the soft outer shell reached or a additional material on the outer side walls of the heel upset.
  • the material of the Sole can be made of the same material as the heel or another material.
  • the different forms of the inelastic core lower surface are: 1. a parallel taper for the outer, higher side wall of the elastic outer shell, 2. its own conical taper and 3. a concave Taper with convex bulge.
  • All forms of Paragraph can increase the height of the core, depending on use or changed below to the areas.
  • the outer, higher shell outer wall or lid will also clamped during assembly. This measure will achieves that when wearing elegant footwear with increased, slim heel shape, relief of intervertebral disc, hip and joints achieved and by the high energy saving Contribution to the maintenance of health and performance is performed.
  • the outer shell is by loose or firm connection to the hard core removable or firm.
  • the repair is done Attaching a new heel mark or removing the whole outer shell.
  • Leg length regulation is by applying correspondingly high heel stains with ease feasible. Due to the extremely simple manufacture, and the Sales can be varied so inexpensively be manufactured in all price groups of shoes Can find application.
  • the heel is closed at the top and bottom 7. It has a hard, inelastic, unyielding core 1, as a stabilizing element, which consists of solid 12 or hollow 12a, made of hard plastic or wood, and various shapes of the upper surface and outer edge ( 1a, 16 rounded gradation, 1b, 16a hooks pointed or straight, 1c surface completely straight or 1d, 16b outer edge flattened) have different arrangement to the lower surface (21 parallel conical taper, 21a own conical taper, 21b concave taper with convex bulge) can, possibly with a height shift to the lower and upper surface 15, 15a.
  • a hard, inelastic, unyielding core 1 which consists of solid 12 or hollow 12a, made of hard plastic or wood, and various shapes of the upper surface and outer edge ( 1a, 16 rounded gradation, 1b, 16a hooks pointed or straight, 1c surface completely straight or 1d, 16b outer edge flattened) have different arrangement to the lower surface (21 parallel conical
  • the core 1 is coated on the outside with a strong layer 4 of soft elastic material, which forms the outer shell 6 serving as a damping element, which in the unloaded state is higher than the inelastic core 7a, and in correspondence to the hard core 1, its greatest strength on the underside 5 , Top 5a or 5b on the side walls.
  • the outer shell 6 is loosely placed on the core or all the inner walls of the shell are not connected to the core 6a.
  • the core can also be firmly connected to all lateral inner walls of the outer shell 8, or only a firm connection of the core surface to the inner wall of the shell lid can be provided without connecting the side and bottom surface of the core 8a, the outer shell 6 being a closable one 9 or closed lid 9a with a fastening ring around a screw 3, 10 and a flange corresponding to the core (16 rounded, 16a pointed or straight, 16b a snap closure) is provided at the upper end of the side wall and the outer surfaces of the outer shell with or without grooves 11, 14 are designed.
  • the heel can be made with an independent heel spot 17 and repair part in normal 18 and special height 18a, or the heel spot 17 can be sprayed in one spraying operation with the lower outer wall of the outer shell 6 with a pre-drilled hole in the lower and upper core.
  • the paragraph can be a separate part 19 or in the unit Sole can be manufactured together with heel "20. It can be screwed, nailed, glued 3 on its upper side 2a, or mounted on the shoe upper with pressure pin and nails 13, at the upper side on the upper with the upper core surface 2 and the higher side walls 2a; 3a, c are attached, the outer cover 2, 9, 9a and side walls 2a, 3b being closed in.
