Definitions

  • Shoes in particular sports or dance shoes
  • the invention relates to a shoe, in particular sports or dance shoes, the sole of which has a ball area and a heel, the heel having an open central area under the heel, which is bridged by a bridge element.
  • Such a shoe is known, the bridge element being made of a resilient material, e.g. from a plastic fabric.
  • a resilient material e.g. from a plastic fabric.
  • the invention is therefore based on the object of providing a shoe with higher damping capacity and greater lateral stability.
  • this object is achieved in that the bridge element is rigid.
  • the body weight is concentrated on the inner edge area of the heel and hardly any forces are introduced into the heel in the horizontal direction.
  • the width or transverse dimension of the open central area is approximately 2 to 3 cm.
  • the open central area of the heel extends to the front edge of the heel, so that it has an open U or C shape with an outer edge, an inner edge and a front edge.
  • the bridge element preferably does not cover the entire shoulder, but remains on the sides and at the rear end, ie along the outer edge, of an edge region of the shoulder
  • the area of overlap between the inner edge and the rigid bridge element can be approx. 1 cm.
  • the heel of the shoe according to the invention preferably has a C or U shape which is open to the front and the bridge element extends to the front edge of the heel and thus covers the entire open inner surface of the U or C shape including an overlap area about 1 cm wide.
  • the ball area of the sole is not directly connected to the heel, but both sole parts are each individually connected to the upper part of the shoe.
  • the ball area of the sole has the usual somewhat oval shape with transverse grooves, so that the front part of the shoe rolls around several transverse axes.
  • the heel and ball area are preferably molded from polyurethane. Suede strips are embedded in the underside of the bale area and sewn on.
  • the heel in the shoe according to the invention preferably also has a U or C shape which is open to the front, but the bridge element is led beyond the front edge of the heel to the ball area of the sole, where it widens and widens covers the rear third of the bale area.
  • the ball area of the sole can also have a U or C shape and open to the rear.
  • the area of overlap between the bridge element and the ball area of the sole is preferably substantially larger.
  • the bridge element also functions as a joint of the sole.
  • the heel and ball area of the sole are suitably made of high density EVA (ethylene vinyl acetate) and are preferably press molded.
  • the bridge element preferably consists of a very stiff and hard plastic and can be thickened downwards in the middle, ie below the heel and possibly in the middle of the ball area his.
  • the bridge element on the top is smooth and even.
  • the bridge element can consist of fiber-reinforced plastic and can also be press-molded.
  • the edge of the heel and also the ball area of the sole are pulled up on the outer edge and are also connected in this area to the upper part of the shoe.
  • the upper part of the shoe generally consists of plastic fabric and / or synthetic or natural leather and is guided up to or over the ankles.
  • Figure 1 shows the sole of the dance embodiment of the shoe in an exploded view.
  • Figure 2 shows the sole of the dance embodiment in a view from below.
  • Fig. 5 shows the sole of the sports embodiment of the shoe in an exploded view
  • Fig. 6 shows the sole of the sport embodiment in a view from below.
  • 1 to 4 show the dance embodiment of the shoe.
  • 1 shows only the sole 10. It contains a shoulder 12 and a ball area 14.
  • the paragraph 12 is U-shaped, with the opening of the U-shape facing forward.
  • the opening is covered by a bridge element 16 on the top of the shoulder 12.
  • the edge of the bridge element 16 overlaps the inner edge of the shoulder 12 with a width of about 1 centimeter.
  • the inner edge 18 of the shoulder 12 is recessed in accordance with the material thickness of the edge of the bridge element 16, so that the shoulder 12 and the bridge element 16 have a flat surface in the connected state.
  • the shoulder 12 and the bridge element 16 are flush on the front edge.
  • the front edge of the shoulder 12 has an upward bevel 20.
  • the ball area 14 is made of the same material as the paragraph 12, but is separated from it.
  • transverse strips 22 made of soft suede are let in and sewn on. Grooves 24 are present between these transverse strips 22 in order to give the shoe good rolling properties.
  • Heel 12 and ball area 14 are molded from polyurethane.
  • the ball area 14 and the heel 12 are glued and sewn on the underside (FIG. 2).
  • Neoprene strips 26 are inserted between the shoulder 12 and the ball area 14 on the underside to give this area particular flexibility.
  • Bridge element is substantially below the user's heel bone. Due to the overlap area between the bridge element 16 and the heel 12, the weight of the user is concentrated evenly on the area near the inner edge of the U-shape, which results in an advantageous damping characteristic of the shoe. As a result, the pressure is greater than with a paragraph without a free middle area. Due to the high density of the Heel material can absorb the pressure elastically.
  • the shoulder 12 is uniformly molded from the high-density material, expediently polyurethane, as a result of which it can absorb lateral forces particularly well without being deformed excessively. As a result, the shoe offers special lateral stability. In conjunction with the large width of the heel 12, this results in a special resistance to tilting the foot, as can be seen in FIG. 3.
  • the shoulder 12 is formed essentially the same as in the dance embodiment of FIGS. 1 and 2.
  • the bridge element 16 is considerably longer than in the embodiment of FIGS. 1 and 2. It is extended to the ball area 14 so that it does not only covers the opening or the incision of the U-shape of the shoulder 12, but is also glued to the rear third of the ball area 14.
  • the bridge element 16 connects the shoulder 12 to the ball area 14.
  • the shoulder 12 and the ball area 14 are press-molded from EVA and can have a covering made of a conventional rubber or rubber mixture.
  • the heel also lies over the opening of the U-shape and the bridge element 16 in this embodiment and results from the explanation given in connection with these figures, a better damping characteristic and lateral stability.

Abstract

L'invention concerne une chaussure comportant une semelle (10) qui présente une zone destinée à la pointe des pieds (14) et un talon (12). Ce talon (12) possède une zone centrale ouverte au-dessous du talon du pied, laquelle zone est pontée par un élément de pontage (16). Ce dernier est rigide. La zone centrale ouverte du talon (12) peut s'étendre jusqu'au bord antérieur du talon (12), ce qui lui donne une forme en U ou en C. La zone marginale de l'élément de pontage peut chevaucher le bord intérieur du talon (12). La zone de la semelle (10) située au-dessous de la pointe des pieds (14) peut être séparée du talon (12) de sorte que les deux soient reliés à la partie supérieure de la chaussure sans avoir de contact direct mutuel. En variante, l'élément de pontage (16) peut s'étendre jusqu'à la zone de la pointe des pieds (14) et recouvrir approximativement un tiers de celle-ci.
