Abstract

A shoe with an upper made of resiliently flexible materials, a central rotary closure, an instep cover in an instep area of the upper, at least one tightening element connected to the central rotary closure, and guide elements at side parts of the upper. The at least one tightening element is guided from the instep cover laterally in the form of loops which are guided over a deflecting element of a respective one of the guide elements. The central rotary closure enables the tightening element to be shortened by rotating the central rotary closure to close the shoe and increasing of the free length of the tightening element to open the shoe. A first end portion of the pull strap is fastened to the shoe in an area at which a portion of a wearer's foot near the metatarsophalangeal joints is received and from there the pull strap is guided over a front one of the coupling elements to a deflecting element located in an area of the metatarsus, and from there, is guided over a more rearward coupling element rearwardly to an area at which the heel of the wearer's foot is received and at which a second end portion of the pull strap is fastened. Furthermore, each of the coupling elements is free to move relative to the shoe upper since they are carried only by a respective one of the loops of the at least one tightening element and by the pull strap.

Mit 1 ist ein Schuh, insbesondere ein Sport- oder Freizeitschuh, bezeichnet. Der Schuh 1 besitzt einen auf einem Ristschild 2 angebrachten Zentraldrehverschluß 3, insbesondere an sich bekannter Bauart. Dieser Zentraldrehverschluß 3 ist beim Spannen rastbar und ist zum Öffnen insbesondere schnellentrastbar ausgeführt.1 denotes a shoe, in particular a sports or leisure shoe. The shoe 1 has a central rotary fastener 3 attached to a riser plate 2, in particular of a type known per se. This central rotary lock 3 can be locked when tensioned and is designed to be particularly quick-release for opening.

Mit dem Zentraldrehverschluß 3 ist ein Spannelement 4 gekuppelt. Dieses kann aus einem Metall- oder Kunststoffdraht bzw. aus einem Metall- oder Kunststoffseil oder dgl. bestehen. Es können auch mehrere Spannelemente 4 vorgesehen sein.With the central rotary lock 3, a clamping element 4 is coupled. This can consist of a metal or plastic wire or a metal or plastic rope or the like. A plurality of clamping elements 4 can also be provided.

Das Spannelement 4 oder mehrere derartige Spannelemente ist bzw. sind derart im Ristschild 2 geführt, daß auf jeder Seite des Ristschildes 2 zumindest zwei im Abstand voneinander austretende Schlaufen 5 und 6 gebildet sind.The tensioning element 4 or more tensioning elements of this type is or are guided in the riser plate 2 such that at least two loops 5 and 6 emerging at a distance from one another are formed on each side of the riser plate 2.

Die Schlaufen 5, 6 sind jeweils um ein beispielsweise knopfartiges, pilzartiges oder dgl. ausgebildetes Umlenkelement 7 eines frei beweglich vorgesehenen Kupplungsgliedes 8 geschlungen. Die Schlaufen 5 bzw. 6 liegen jeweils in einer Führungsnut 9 der Umlenkelemente 7, in die sie von der Rückseite her einsetzbar sind. Zu diesem Zweck ist die Rückseite der Kupplungsglieder 8 im Bereich des Umlenkelements 7 mit entsprechenden Ausnehmungen 10 und 11 (siehe Fig. 2) versehen.The loops 5, 6 are each formed around a deflection element, for example a button-like, mushroom-like or the like 7 of a freely movable coupling member 8 looped. The loops 5 and 6 each lie in a guide groove 9 of the deflection elements 7, into which they can be inserted from the rear. For this purpose, the rear side of the coupling members 8 is provided in the region of the deflection element 7 with corresponding recesses 10 and 11 (see FIG. 2).

Die Kupplungsglieder 8 bestehen aus einem hartelastischen Kunststoff, der einen für das Spannelement 4 geringen Reibungskoeffizienten besitzt.The coupling members 8 consist of a hard elastic plastic, which has a low coefficient of friction for the clamping element 4.

Die Kupplungsglieder 8 besitzen jeweils zwei Führungsarme 12, 13, die einen spitzen Winkel α von etwa 25° bis 50°, insbesondere von etwa 30° bis 40°, einschließen. In der Nähe der Umlenkelemente 7 ist ein sich zwischen den beiden Führungsarmen 12, 13 erstreckender Umlenksteg 14 vorgesehen. Außerdem besitzt jeder Führungsarm 12, 13 zwei vorzugsweise stab- oder stegförmige Haltemittel 15, 16 bzw. 17, 18. Diese Haltemittel 15, 16 bzw. 17, 18 sowie der Umlenksteg 14 sind durch in den Kupplungsgliedern 8 angebrachte Durchbrechungen 19 bis 23 gebildet.The coupling members 8 each have two guide arms 12, 13, which enclose an acute angle α of approximately 25 ° to 50 °, in particular approximately 30 ° to 40 °. In the vicinity of the deflection elements 7, a deflection web 14 extending between the two guide arms 12, 13 is provided. In addition, each guide arm 12, 13 has two preferably rod-shaped or web-shaped holding means 15, 16 or 17, 18. These holding means 15, 16 or 17, 18 and the deflection web 14 are formed by openings 19 to 23 made in the coupling members 8.

Durch die Kupplungsglieder 8 ist jeweils ein Zugband 24 derart hindurchgeschleift, daß es jeweils um das Umlenkelement 14 von einem Führungsarm 12 eines Kupplungsgliedes 8 zum anderen Führungsarm 13 desselben Kupplungsgliedes 8 umgelenkt wird.A pulling band 24 is looped through the coupling members 8 in such a way that it is deflected around the deflection element 14 from one guide arm 12 of a coupling member 8 to the other guide arm 13 of the same coupling member 8.

Das Zugband 24 ist im Bereich zwischen Mittelfuß bzw. Mittelschuh und den Zehengrundgelenken mit seinem vorderen Endabschnitt 25 am Schuh 1, beispielsweise am Schaft 26, an der Sohle 27, an einem Trägerteil, beispielsweise an einem Besatz oder Spannband oder an einem Auflageteil 28 befestigt. Von dort aus ist das Zugband 24 zum vorderen Kupplungsglied 8 und nach Umlenkung um dessen Umlenksteg 14 nach hinten unten zu einem Bereich 29 des Mittelfußes bzw. auf der Innenseite des Schuhes 1 zu einem im Bereich der Fußwölbung angebrachten stabförmigen Umlenkmittel 30 einer Haltelasche 31 geführt und dort, leicht nach vorn geneigt, nach oben zum Umlenksteg 14 des weiteren bzw. hinteren Kupplungsgliedes 8 geführt.The tension band 24 is fastened in the region between the metatarsus or mid shoe and the basic toe joints with its front end section 25 on the shoe 1, for example on the shaft 26, on the sole 27, on a carrier part, for example on a trimming or tension band or on a support part 28. From there the drawstring 24 is to the front Coupling member 8 and after deflection around its deflection web 14 to the rear down to an area 29 of the metatarsus or on the inside of the shoe 1 to a rod-shaped deflection means 30 of a holding tab 31 attached in the area of the arch of the foot and there, slightly inclined forward, upwards led to the deflection web 14 of the further or rear coupling member 8.

Nach der Umlenkung an dem Umlenksteg 14 des weiteren bzw. hinteren Kupplungsgliedes 8 verläuft das Zugband 24 leicht geneigt schräg nach hinten unten und ist mit seinem anderen Endabschnitt oder Ende 32 im Fersenbereich 33 des Schuhes 1 befestigt. Der Endabschnitt 32 ist durch ein laschenartiges, außen am Fersenschaft angeordnetes Auflageteil 34 geschleift und liegt dort über dieses Auflageteil 34 am Schaft 26 nachgiebig bzw. beweglich an.After the deflection on the deflection web 14 of the further or rear coupling member 8, the tension band 24 runs at a slight inclination obliquely backwards and is fastened with its other end section or end 32 in the heel region 33 of the shoe 1. The end section 32 is ground through a tab-like support part 34 arranged on the outside of the heel shaft and rests there resiliently or movably on the shaft 26 via this support part 34.

Die Anordnung der Kupplungsglieder 8 ist durch die Schlaufen 5 bzw. 6 des Spannelements 4 und das Zugband 24 festgelegt. Diese Führungs- und Spannteile sowie die Anordnung der Auflageteile 28, 34 sowie der Haltelasche 31 sind vorzugsweise so ausgestaltet, daß am Umlenkelement 7 des vorderen Kupplungsgliedes 8 eine resultierende Zugkraft 35 in Richtung des Bereiches 29 der Fußmitte und daß am Umlenkelement 7 des hinteren Kupplungsgliedes 8 eine resultierende Zugkraft 36 in Richtung des Fersenbereiches 33 auftritt. Durch diese Anordnung ist das Zugband 24 zick-zack-förmig oder sägezahnförmig gespannt.The arrangement of the coupling members 8 is determined by the loops 5 and 6 of the tensioning element 4 and the tension band 24. These guiding and tensioning parts as well as the arrangement of the support parts 28, 34 and the retaining tab 31 are preferably designed such that a resulting tensile force 35 on the deflection element 7 of the front coupling member 8 in the direction of the region 29 of the center of the foot and that on the deflection element 7 of the rear coupling element 8 a resulting tensile force 36 occurs in the direction of the heel area 33. With this arrangement, the tension band 24 is tensioned in a zigzag or sawtooth shape.

Wichtig ist, daß die Kupplungsglieder 8 frei beweglich am Innen- und Außenschaft angeordnet sind und lediglich durch die Spannkraft des Zugbandes 24 und des Spannelements 4 auf dem Schaft 26 bzw. auf verlängerten Gleitflächen 37 bzw. 38 des Ristschildes 2 lagefixiert sind.It is important that the coupling members 8 are freely movable on the inner and outer shafts and are only fixed in position by the tensioning force of the tension band 24 and the tensioning element 4 on the shaft 26 or on extended sliding surfaces 37 or 38 of the riser plate 2.

Insbesondere ist die Anordnung der genannten Spann- und Führungsteile so gewählt, daß die einzelnen Zugbandabschnitte 39 bis 42 jeweils von unten aus nach vorn geneigt sind. Hierdurch wird ein besonders guter Halt des Fußes im Schuh 1 erreicht.In particular, the arrangement of the tensioning and guiding parts mentioned is chosen such that the individual tension band sections 39 to 42 are each inclined forward from below. A particularly good hold of the foot in the shoe 1 is hereby achieved.

Zur guten Führung des Zugbandes 24 im Bereich der Befestigung desselben am Schuh 1 sind die Auflageteile 28 und 34 mit Durchbrechungen 43 versehen, die Stege 44 bilden, so daß das Zugband 24 hindurchgeschleift werden kann und dadurch sicher geführt ist.For good guidance of the drawstring 24 in the area of its attachment to the shoe 1, the support parts 28 and 34 are provided with openings 43 which form webs 44, so that the drawstring 24 can be looped through and is thereby guided securely.
