Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Schuh, insbesondere Sport- oder Tanzschuh, dessen Sohle einen Ballenbereich und einen Absatz aufweist, wobei der Absatz einen offenen Mittelbereich unter der Ferse hat, der durch ein Brückenelement überbrückt ist.The invention relates to a shoe, in particular sports or Dance shoe, the sole of which has a ball area and a heel has, with the paragraph an open middle area under the heel, which is bridged by a bridge element.

Ein solcher Schuh ist aus GB-A-2 243 530 bekannt, wobei das Brückenelement aus einem nachgiebigen Material besteht, z.B. aus einem Kunststoffgewebe. Insbesondere für Sport und zum Tanzen wäre es wünschenswert, einen Schuh mit größerem Dämpfungsvermögen und besserer Seitenstabilität zu haben.Such a shoe is known from GB-A-2 243 530, which Bridge element is made of a resilient material, e.g. from a plastic fabric. Especially for sports and It would be desirable to dance to a shoe with a larger size To have damping capacity and better lateral stability.

Der Erfindung liegt daher die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen Schuh mit höherem Dämpfungsvermögen und größerer Seitenstabilität zu schaffen.The invention is therefore based on the object of a shoe with higher damping capacity and greater lateral stability create.

Erfindungsgemäß wird diese Aufgabe dadurch gelöst, dass das Brückenelement steif ist.According to the invention, this object is achieved in that the Bridge element is stiff.

Durch die Steifheit des Brückenelements wird das Körpergewicht auf den inneren Randbereich des Absatzes konzentriert und werden durch das Brückenelement kaum Kräfte in horizontaler Richtung in den Absatz eingeleitet.The body weight is due to the stiffness of the bridge element and be focused on the inner margin of the paragraph hardly any forces in the horizontal direction due to the bridge element introduced in the paragraph.

Die Breite oder Querabmessung des offenen Mittelbereichs beträgt etwa 2 bis 3 cm. Vorzugsweise erstreckt sich der offene Mittelbereich des Absatzes bis zum vorderen Rand des Absatzes, so dass dieser insgesamt eine nach vorne offene U-oder C-Form mit einem Außenrand, einem Innenrand und einem vorderen Rand hat.The width or transverse dimension of the open central area is about 2 to 3 cm. Preferably, the open middle area of the heel to the front edge of the Paragraph, so that this overall a forward-facing U or C-shape with an outer edge, an inner edge and one has front edge.

Vorzugsweise überdeckt das Brückenelement nicht den gesamten Absatz, sondern bleibt auf den Seiten und am hinteren Ende, d.h. längs des Außenrandes, ein Randbereich des Absatzes frei. The bridge element preferably does not cover the entire one Paragraph but stays on the sides and at the back end, i.e. along the outer edge, an edge area of the heel free.

Der Überlappungsbereich zwischen dem Innenrand und dem steifen Brückenelement kann ca. 1 cm betragen.The area of overlap between the inner edge and the rigid Bridge element can be approx. 1 cm.

In der Ausführung als Tanz-Schuh hat bei dem erfindungsgemäßen Schuh der Absatz vorzugsweise eine nach vorne offene C- oder U-Form und erstreckt sich das Brückenelement bis zum vorderen Rand des Absatzes und überdeckt damit die gesamte offene Innenfläche der U- oder C-Form einschließlich eines Überlappungsbereichs von etwa 1 cm Breite. Der Ballenbereich der Sohle ist nicht unmittelbar mit dem Absatz verbunden, sondern beide Sohlenteile sind jeweils für sich mit dem Oberteil des Schuhs verbunden. Der Ballenbereich der Sohle hat dabei die übliche etwas ovale Form mit querverlaufenden Nuten, so daß der vordere Teil des Schuhs um mehrere querverlaufende Achsen abrollt. Der Absatz und der Ballenbereich sind vorzugsweise aus Polyurethan pressgeformt. Wildlederstreifen sind in die Unterseite des Ballenbereichs eingelassen und festgenäht.In the execution as a dance shoe has the inventive Shoe the heel preferably a C or open front U shape and the bridge element extends to the front Edge of the heel and thus covers the entire open inner surface the U or C shape including an overlap area about 1 cm wide. The ball area of the sole is not directly related to the paragraph, but both sole parts are each with the upper part of the Shoe connected. The ball area of the sole has the usual somewhat oval shape with transverse grooves, so that the front part of the shoe around several transverse axes rolls. The heel and bale area are preferred molded from polyurethane. Suede stripes are in the Bottom of the bale area let in and sewn.

In der Ausführungsform als Sportschuh hat bei dem erfindungsgemäßen Schuh der Absatz vorzugsweise ebenfalls eine nach vorne offene U- oder C-Form, wobei das Brückenelement jedoch über die Vorderkante des Absatzes hinaus bis zum Ballenbereich der Sohle geführt ist, sich dort stark verbreitert und etwa das hintere Drittel des Ballenbereichs überdeckt. Der Ballenbereich der Sohle kann dabei ebenfalls U- oder C-Form haben und sich nach hinten öffnen. Der Überlappungsbereich zwischen dem Brückenelement und dem Ballenbereich der Sohle ist dabei vorzugsweise wesentlich größer. Bei dieser Ausführungsform fungiert das Brückenelement zugleich als Gelenk der Sohle. Der Absatz und der Ballenbereich der Sohle bestehen zweckmäßig aus EVA (Ethylenvinylacetat) hoher Dichte, und werden vorzugsweise pressgeformt.In the embodiment as a sports shoe in the invention The heel preferably also follows one open U or C shape at the front, but the bridge element beyond the front edge of the heel to the bale area the sole is guided, widens there and about covers the rear third of the bale area. The bale area the sole can also have a U or C shape and open up to the back. The area of overlap between the bridge element and the ball area of the sole is included preferably much larger. In this embodiment the bridge element also functions as the joint of the sole. The The heel and the ball area of the sole suitably consist of High density EVA (ethylene vinyl acetate), and are preferred press-formed.

Das Brückenelement besteht in beiden Ausführungsformen vorzugsweise aus einem sehr steifen und harten Kunststoff und kann jeweils in der Mitte, d.h. unterhalb der Ferse und gegebenenfalls in der Mitte des Ballenbereichs nach unten verdickt sein. Auf der Oberseite ist das Brückenelement glatt und eben. Das Brückenelement kann aus faserverstärktem Kunststoff bestehen und ebenfalls pressgeformt werden.The bridge element is preferably in both embodiments made of a very stiff and hard plastic and can be in the middle, i.e. below the heel and if necessary thickened down in the middle of the bale area his. The bridge element on the top is smooth and even. The bridge element can consist of fiber-reinforced plastic and also be press molded.

Der Rand des Absatzes und auch des Ballenbereichs der Sohle sind am äußeren Rand nach oben gezogen und sind auch in diesem Bereich mit dem Oberteil des Schuhs verbunden. Das Oberteil des Schuhs besteht im allgemeinen aus Kunststoffgewebe und/oder Kunst- oder Naturleder und ist bis zu oder über die Knöchel geführt.The edge of the heel and also the ball area of the sole are pulled up on the outer edge and are also in this Area connected to the upper part of the shoe. The top the shoe is generally made of plastic fabric and / or synthetic or natural leather and is up to or over the Led ankle.

Fig. 6
the sole of the sports embodiment in a view from below.

Die Fig. 1 bis 4 zeigen die Tanz-Ausführungsform des Schuhs. Fig. 1 zeigt nur die Sohle 10. Sie enthält einen Absatz 12 und einen Ballenbereich 14. 1 to 4 show the dance embodiment of the shoe. Fig. 1 shows only the sole 10. It contains a paragraph 12 and a bale area 14.

Der Absatz 12 ist U-förmig, wobei die Öffnung der U-Form nach vorne zeigt. Die Öffnung wird durch ein Brückenelement 16 auf der Oberseite des Absatzes 12 abgedeckt. Der Rand des Brückenelements 16 überlappt dabei den Innenrand des Absatzes 12 in einer Breite von etwa 1 Zentimeter. In diesem Bereich ist der Innenrand 18 des Absatzes 12 entsprechend der Materialstärke des Randes des Brückenelements 16 vertieft, so daß der Absatz 12 und das Brückenelement 16 in verbundenem Zustand eine ebene Oberfläche haben. An der Vorderkante sind der Absatz 12 und das Brückenelement 16 bündig. Die Vorderkante des Absatzes 12 weist eine nach oben gerichtete Abschrägung 20 auf.The paragraph 12 is U-shaped, the opening following the U-shape shows in front. The opening is opened by a bridge element 16 the top of paragraph 12 covered. The edge of the bridge element 16 overlaps the inner edge of paragraph 12 in a width of about 1 centimeter. In this area is the Inner edge 18 of paragraph 12 according to the material thickness of the edge of the bridge element 16 deepened, so that the paragraph 12 and the bridge element 16 in the connected state a plane Have surface. At the front edge are paragraph 12 and the bridge element 16 flush. The leading edge of paragraph 12 has an upward bevel 20.

Der Ballenbereich 14 besteht zwar aus dem gleichen Material wie der Absatz 12 ist jedoch von diesem getrennt. In dem Ballenbereich 14 sind Querstreifen 22 (Fig. 2) aus weichem Wildleder eingelassen und angenäht. Zwischen diesen Querstreifen 22 sind Nuten 24 vorhanden, um dem Schuh gute Abrolleigenschaften zu geben.The ball area 14 is made of the same material however, like paragraph 12 is separate from this. In the bale area 14 are horizontal stripes 22 (Fig. 2) made of soft suede let in and sewn on. Between these horizontal stripes 22 grooves 24 are provided to give the shoe good rolling properties to give.

Absatz 12 und Ballenbereich 14 sind aus Polyurethan pressgeformt.Heel 12 and ball area 14 are molded from polyurethane.

An das im einzelnen nicht dargestellte Oberteil des Schuhs sind auf der Unterseite der Ballenbereich 14 und der Absatz 12 angeklebt und angenäht (Fig. 2). Neopren-Streifen 26 sind zwischen dem Absatz 12 und dem Ballenbereich 14 auf der Unterseite eingesetzt, um diesem Bereich besondere Flexibilität zu geben.To the upper part of the shoe, not shown in detail are the bale area 14 and the heel 12 on the underside glued and sewn on (Fig. 2). Neoprene strips 26 are between the paragraph 12 and the ball area 14 on the underside used to give this area particular flexibility give.

Wie insbesondere in Fig. 3 und 4 erkennbar ist liegt das Brückenelement 16 im wesentlichen unter dem Fersenknochen des Benutzers. Durch den Überlappungsbereich zwischen Brückenelement 16 und Absatz 12 wird das Gewicht des Benutzers gleichmäßig auf den Bereich nahe dem Innenrand der U-Form konzentriert, wodurch sich eine vorteilhafte Dämpfungscharakteristik des Schuhs ergibt. Der Druck ist dadurch größer als bei einem Absatz ohne freien Mittelbereich. Durch die hohe Dichte des Absatzmaterials kann dieses den Druck elastisch aufnehmen. Der Absatz 12 ist dabei gleichförmig aus dem Material hoher Dichte, zweckmäßig Polyurethan, pressgeformt, wodurch er seitlich gerichtete Kräfte besonders gut aufnehmen kann, ohne sich übermäßig zu verformen. Hierdurch bietet der Schuh eine besondere Seitenstabilität. In Verbindung mit der großen Breite des Absatzes 12 ergibt sich dadurch eine besondere Widerstandsfähigkeit gegen Kippen des Fußes, wie dies in Fig. 3 zu sehen ist.As can be seen in particular in FIGS. 3 and 4, this lies Bridge element 16 substantially below the heel bone of the User. Through the overlap area between the bridge element 16 and paragraph 12, the weight of the user is even focused on the area near the inner edge of the U shape, which results in an advantageous damping characteristic of the shoe results. The pressure is greater than that of one Sales without a free middle area. Due to the high density of the Heel material can absorb the pressure elastically. The Paragraph 12 is uniform from the high density material, Appropriately polyurethane, molded, which makes it sideways directed forces can absorb particularly well without becoming excessive to deform. As a result, the shoe offers a special one Lateral stability. In connection with the large width of the Paragraph 12 results in a particular resilience against tilting the foot, as can be seen in FIG. 3 is.

Die Fig. 5 und 6 zeigen die Sport-Ausführungsform des Schuhs. Der Absatz 12 ist im wesentlichen genauso ausgebildet wie bei der Tanz-Ausführungsform der Fig. 1 und 2. Das Brückenelement 16 ist wesentlich länger als bei der Ausführungsform der Fig. 1 und 2. Es ist bis zum Ballenbereich 14 verlängert, so daß es nicht nur die Öffnung oder den Einschnitt der U-Form des Absatzes 12 überdeckt, sondern auch mit dem hinteren Drittel des Ballenbereichs 14 verklebt ist. Das Brückenelement 16 verbindet den Absatz 12 mit dem Ballenbereich 14.5 and 6 show the sport embodiment of the shoe. The paragraph 12 is essentially the same as in the dance embodiment of FIGS. 1 and 2. The bridge element 16 is significantly longer than in the embodiment of FIG. 1 and 2. It is extended to the bale area 14 so that it not just the opening or incision of the U shape of the heel 12 covered, but also with the rear third of the Ball area 14 is glued. The bridge element 16 connects paragraph 12 with the ball area 14.

Der Absatz 12 und der Ballenbereich 14 sind aus EVA pressgeformt und können eine Auflage aus einer üblichen Kautschukoder Gummimischung haben.The heel 12 and the ball area 14 are press molded from EVA and can be a pad made from a common rubber or Have rubber compound.

Wie in den Fig. 3 und 4 gezeigt kommt auch bei dieser Ausführungsform die Ferse über der Öffnung der U-Form und dem Brückenelement 16 zu liegen und ergibt sich aus den in Verbindung mit diesen Figuren gegebenen Erläuterung eine bessere Dämpfungscharakteristik und Seitenstabilität.As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, this embodiment also comes the heel over the opening of the U shape and the Bridge element 16 to lie and results from the connection with these figures given a better explanation Damping characteristics and side stability.
