Definitions

  • the invention relates to footwear containing an outer shaft Inner shaft and a sole, the inner shaft at least one waterproof, water-vapor permeable functional layer and one facing towards the inside Lining layer comprises.
  • the waterproof functional layer Effectively prevents water from entering the inside of the shoe while passing through the perspiration of moist air created by the functional layer can step through.
  • the Connection points usually either by gluing or by sewing, however can also be generated by combining sewing and gluing Ingress of water is effectively avoided.
  • the inner shaft was in the form of a sock trained (US 4,599,810), all necessary to form the foot shape Seams were made waterproof, for example by taping with waterproof tapes.
  • This embodiment requires a large amount on waterproof, water vapor permeable functional layer, so that this Embodiment is very expensive.
  • There is also a functional layer in the Sole area is not required in most cases because that is underneath arranged sole material often consists of waterproof material, which is not permeable to water vapor. This applies in particular to footwear with molded outsole.
  • connection between the outer shaft and Inner shaft is made of a porous material, which is made of the injection material of the Sole material is penetrable, the sole material up to the inner shaft penetrates and combines with this waterproof.
  • the connection between Inner shaft and outer shaft take place in the critical zones in the Contact area between sole and upper so that this connection is particularly heavily loaded in the rolling zones. In this respect, there is a risk that the waterproof connection especially in the rolling zones of the outsole breaks open and water enters the interior again.
  • the waterproof, water vapor permeable functional layer usually as a laminate processed, with a textile fabric to increase the interior Comfort and a functional layer that reinforces the outside Textile fabric is provided.
  • a further improvement in water resistance results from DE-A-195 07 210.3, from which a footwear has become known in which the Functional layer is extended and turned towards the interior, and at especially the cut edge of the functional layer with the sole material is connected to further prevent water ingress.
  • This one too Construction is the connection between the functional layer and the sole material a critical area, so that water penetration is well prevented becomes.
  • Breaking the connection between the cut edge of the functional layer and the Sole material can still be made in such a way that individual pores form Transport water into the interior via the capillary forces of these pores can.
  • the footwear mentioned above train waterproof that the risk of water ingress even after prolonged use of the footwear is further reduced.
  • the object of the invention is thereby solved that the lower end portion of the inner shaft facing the outsole has an extension with the lower end portion of the inner shaft is connected watertight and consists of a waterproof material, and the Inner shaft is only fixed via the extension in the sole area.
  • the critical watertight connection between the lower end of the inner shaft which is the waterproof, contains water vapor permeable functional layer, from the critical area in close to the sole so that the connection between lower end of the inner shaft and the extension no longer so heavily loaded becomes.
  • the material of the extension can better suit the respective load be adjusted so that an attachment made via the extension of the Inner shaft in the sole area is more stable even with long-term stress can be.
  • the footwear according to the invention is due to the Extending a smaller amount of which the waterproof, required water vapor permeable functional layer containing laminate, so that the additional effort due to the additional material required for the extension and the attachment of the extension to the inner shaft is largely balanced. Due to the variability of the extension, you can already use it as an extension caps or other elements used in some shoe designs used as an extension but made of waterproof material must exist.
  • footwear in the sense of the present invention means that either parts of a shoe or the entire shoe of the invention Have shoes. Especially in stiffer areas of the sole, as they are common in the area of the heel (heel area) or for example with protective shoes occur in the tip area due to a stiff shoe cap, that is Equipment of the shoe with the footwear according to the invention is not essential required.
  • the Extension encloses the lower end area of the inner shaft on both sides and is connected to this waterproof.
  • the extension can be done in a particularly simple manner with the lower end connect the inner shaft if the extension is made of two waterproof Bands exists, which in the circumferential direction of the lower end portion of the Inner shaft are arranged, and some with a surface of each lower end of the inner shaft and partially watertight with each other are connected.
  • endless belts can for example also from a film made of waterproof material be punched out.
  • the thickness of the film should be based on the expected Load case can be selected. It is usually 0.2 to 1.5 mm, can but also be several millimeters in special cases.
  • This from a slide Punched tapes, which can be annular, can be in front of or are deformed into the desired shape during the manufacture of the footwear, so that they fit into the course of the lower end of the footwear Outer shaft and then the course of the outsole or the Have an adapted insole shape.
  • the tapes can also be used as adhesive tapes for the footwear according to the invention be designed so that further processing is facilitated. Tried and tested have iron-on tapes, the glue of which melts over heat and the textile surfaces covering the functional layer melt well can penetrate.
  • the lower end region of the inner shaft can preferably be fixed in this way take place that the connection of the inner shaft with the outer layer and / or with the insole is made exclusively by extension. This connection will usually done by sewing. However, there are also adhesive bonds in question.
  • the extension is with the lower end of the inner socket glued.
  • the band arranged on the inside of the inner shaft can also be used be sewn to the lower end of the inner shaft, as through the outside arranged band already a sufficient seal against penetration Water takes place.
