Abstract

The shoe sole comprises a gel which is formed by a reaction of a poly-functional polyol with a polyisocyanate. At points particularly subject to shock, recesses (3) in the basic body (5) are provided, in which a gel cushion (9) is inserted. The gel cushion covers the surface of the shoe sole and has downward projections, which engage in corresponding recesses of the basic body. A damping component (4) with its basic body is inserted in the recess and an edge flange (6) engages in a widened lower area of the recess. The lower side (7) of the damping component and the under side (8) of the inlay sole are aligned with one another.

Description

Die Erfindung richtet sich auf eine Schuhsohle in Form einer Einlegesohle oder als Teil eines Schuhs mit einer dem Fuß des Benutzers zugewandten Abdeckung, wobei wenigstens ein Teil der Schuhsohle dämpfend ausgebildet ist.The invention relates to a shoe sole in the form of an insole or as part of a shoe with a cover facing the foot of the user, at least part of the shoe sole being designed to be damping.

Es ist beispielsweise aus der deutschen Patentanmeldung P 44 o3 889 bekannt, Schuhsohlen oder Einlegsohlen, insbesondere für Arbeitsschutzschuhe, mit Dämpfungselementen zu versehen, um den Benutzer vor Stoßbelastungen zu schützen, die durch das Aufsetzen der Füße beim Gehen entstehen, oder die von außen aufgrund von Vibrationen auf den Körper übertragen werden.It is known, for example from German patent application P 44 o3 889, to provide shoe soles or insoles, in particular for protective work shoes, with damping elements in order to protect the user from shock loads which arise from putting on the feet when walking, or from the outside due to Vibrations are transmitted to the body.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, zusätzlich oder alternativ zu bekannten Dämpfungselementen die Stoßbelastung weiter zu reduzieren und den Tragekomfort zu erhöhen.The invention is based on the object, in addition or as an alternative to known damping elements, to further reduce the shock load and to increase the wearing comfort.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, daß die Innenseite der Schuhsohle an ihrer Oberseite und/oder wenigstens eines Teils ihres Grundkörpers mit einem Kissen versehen ist, welches mit einem hochelastischen Polyurethan-Gel gefüllt ist.This object is achieved in that the inside of the shoe sole is provided on its upper side and / or at least part of its base body with a cushion which is filled with a highly elastic polyurethane gel.

Durch ein derartiges Kissen werden überraschend vorteilhafte Stoßabsorptions-Eigenschaften erzielt. Derartige hochelastische Polyurethan-Gels sind kommerziell verfügbar.Such a cushion provides surprisingly advantageous shock absorption properties. Such highly elastic polyurethane gels are commercially available.

Für den vorliegenden Anwendungszweck wird erfindungsgemäß insbesondere ein Gel in Betracht gezogen, dessen physikalischer Zustand zwischen fest und flüssig liegt und welches durch eine dreidimensionale Netzstruktur gebildet wird, welche in einer homogenen, flüssigen Phase dispergiert ist. Das Netzwerk und die flüssige Phase durchdringen also einander. Ein derartiges Netzwerk kann hergestellt werden durch die Reaktion eines polyfunktionalen Polyols mit einem Polyisocyanat. Dabei behält ein Teil des Reaktionsprodukts ein niedrigeres Molekulargewicht, wodurch immer noch eine gewisse begrenzte Fließfähigkeit gewahrt wird, und fungiert so als Dispersionsmedium, welches in dem Netzwerk festgelegt ist und hierin immobilisiert wird. Eine besonders vorteilhafte Eigenschaft besteht auch darin, daß die flexiblen Eigenschaften dauerhaft erhalten bleiben und durch Migration nicht beeinträchtigt werden.For the present application, a gel is particularly considered according to the invention, the physical state of which is between solid and liquid and which is formed by a three-dimensional network structure which is dispersed in a homogeneous, liquid phase. The network and the liquid phase thus penetrate each other. Such a network can be made by the reaction of a polyfunctional polyol with a polyisocyanate. Part of the reaction product retains a lower molecular weight, which still maintains a certain limited fluidity, and thus acts as a dispersion medium which is fixed in the network and is immobilized therein. A particularly advantageous property is that the flexible properties are retained permanently and are not impaired by migration.

Ein erfindungsgemäßes Gel-Kissen kann entweder nach Art einer Brandsohle die Schuhsohle vollständig abdecken oder aber nur in besonders beanspruchte Bereiche, wie z.B. den Fersenbereich, eingesetzt werden. Darüber hinaus ist eine Kombination dieser Maßnahmen denkbar, also z.B. das Einbringen eines Kissens in den Fersen-Bereich und das Aufbringen eines zusätzlichen, flächigen Kissens auf die gesamte Sohle. Weiterhin ist es denkbar, die Hülle des Kissens so zu formen, daß es einerseits weitgehend flächig die Sohle abdeckt und andererseits Vorsprünge bzw. Ansätze aufweist, die an besonders beanspruchten Stellen in Ausnehmungen der Sohle eingreifen.A gel cushion according to the invention can either completely cover the shoe sole in the manner of an insole or only in particularly stressed areas, such as the heel area. A combination of these measures is also conceivable, e.g. the insertion of a cushion in the heel area and the application of an additional, flat cushion to the entire sole. Furthermore, it is conceivable to shape the cover of the cushion so that it covers the sole largely extensively on the one hand and on the other hand has projections or projections which engage in recesses in the sole at particularly stressed points.

Nachfolgend wird die Erfindung anhand eines bevorzugten Ausführungsbeispiels in Form einer Einlegesohle näher beschrieben. Dabei zeigen:

The invention is described in more detail below on the basis of a preferred exemplary embodiment in the form of an insole. Show:
Fig. 1
a top view of a foam insole with a recess for a damping element,
Fig. 2
a perspective view with damping element before insertion and

Eine in der Zeichnung dargestellte Einlegsohle 1 ist einstückig aus Schaumstoff hergestellt. Sie ist so dimensioniert und geformt, daß sie in den Innenraum konventionell hergestellter Schuhe eingesetzt werden kann und sich von dem Fersenbereich 2 ausgehend keilförmig zur Mitte hin verjüngend bis etwa über die Schuh-Mitte hinaus erstreckt. In dem Fersenbereich 2 ist eine kreisförmige Ausnehmung 3 vorgesehen.An insole 1 shown in the drawing is made in one piece from foam. It is dimensioned and shaped in such a way that it can be used in the interior of conventionally manufactured shoes and, starting from the heel area 2, tapers in a wedge shape towards the center and extends approximately beyond the center of the shoe. A circular recess 3 is provided in the heel area 2.

Ein hydraulisches Dämpfungselement 4, wie es beispielsweise aus der DE 39 o6 466 A1 bekannt ist, umfaßt einen kreisscheibenförmigen Grundkörper 5 und einen hieran angeformten Randflansch 6 aus Kunststoff. Das Dämpfungselement 4 weist an seinem Grundkörper eine Mehrzahl sich vom Mittelpunkt radial nach außen erstreckender Lamellen und eine ölige Hydraulikflüssigkeit auf, wobei durch die Verdrängung der Hydraulikflüssigkeit bei Druckbeaufschlagung im Zusammenwirken mit den durch die Lamellen ausgebildeten Strömungskanälen die für derartige Dämpfungselemente 4 typische und besondere Dämpfungswirkung erreicht wird. Eine Besonderheit dieser Konstruktion besteht darin, daß sie die Realisierung einer hervorragenden Dämpfungswirkung ermöglicht, obwohl bei dem Aufbau und der Herstellung des Schuhs selbst keinerlei diesbezügliche Vorkehrungen getroffen sein müssen. Dementsprechend eignet sich eine derartige Einlegesohle auch dann, wenn bestimmte Schuhe, sei es wegen ausgefallener Größen oder orthopädischer Besonderheiten, nicht in großen Stückzahlen hergestellt werden können.A hydraulic damping element 4, as is known for example from DE 39 o6 466 A1, comprises a circular disk-shaped base body 5 and an edge flange 6 made of plastic and molded onto it. The damping element 4 has on its base body a plurality of lamellae extending radially outwards from the center point and an oily hydraulic fluid, whereby the displacement of the hydraulic fluid when pressurized in cooperation with the flow channels formed by the lamellae achieves the typical and special damping effect for such damping elements 4 becomes. A special feature of this construction is that it enables an excellent damping effect to be achieved, although no precautions have to be taken in this regard in the construction and manufacture of the shoe itself. Accordingly, such an insole is also suitable when certain shoes, be it because of unusual sizes or special orthopedic features, cannot be manufactured in large quantities.

Wie in Fig. 2 erkennbar ist, wird das Dämpfungselement 4 mit seinem Grundkörper 5 in die Ausnehmung 3 von unten her eingesetzt, wobei der Randflansch 6 in den erweiterten unteren Bereich der Ausnehmung 3 derart eingreift, daß die Unterseite 7 des Dämpfungselements 4 und die Unterseite 8 der Einlegesohle 1 miteinander fluchten.As can be seen in Fig. 2, the damping element 4 is inserted with its base body 5 into the recess 3 from below, the edge flange 6 engaging in the expanded lower region of the recess 3 such that the bottom 7 of the damping element 4 and the bottom 8 of the insole 1 are aligned.

Wie aus Fig. 3 erkennbar ist, ist ein Gel-Kissen 9 vorgesehen, welches mit einem hochelastischen Polyurethan-Gel gefüllt ist und sich sowohl über den Bereich des Dämpfungselements 4 als auch über die anderen Oberflächenbereiche der Sohle erstreckt.As can be seen from FIG. 3, a gel cushion 9 is provided which is filled with a highly elastic polyurethane gel and extends both over the area of the damping element 4 and over the other surface areas of the sole.

Abweichend von dem dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel kann das gesonderte Dämpfungselement 4 auch entfallen, wobei dann das Gel-Kissen 9 im Bereich der Ausnehmung 3 einen Vorsprung aufweisen würde, der in die Ausnehmung 3 eingreift, so daß auch durch eine solche Ausgestaltung im Bereich der Ferse eine erhöhte Dämpfungswirkung erzielt werden würde.In a departure from the exemplary embodiment shown, the separate damping element 4 can also be omitted, in which case the gel cushion 9 in the region of the recess 3 would have a projection which engages in the recess 3, so that an increased configuration in the region of the heel is also possible Damping effect would be achieved.
