Description

Sohlenaufbau für einen Schuh oder eine Einlegesohle Sole construction for a shoe or an insole
Die Erfindung betrifft einen Sohlenaufbau für einen Schuh oder eine Einlegsohle mit mindestens zwei Schichten sowie ein Verfahren zu dessen Herstellung.The invention relates to a sole structure for a shoe or an insole with at least two layers and a method for its production.
Unter Sohlenaufbau wird im Sinne der Erfindung der unter der Fußsohle des Benutzers befindliche Teil des Schuhs verstanden, der auch als Einlegesohle ausgebildet sein kann. Füße von Menschen, insbesondere deren Sohlen, rechnen zu den zu hohen Schweiß- abgaben neigenden Köperteilen. Dies ist deshalb problematisch, weil die Füße oft stundenlang von den Schuhen umschlossen sind, die im Gegensatz zu anderen Kleidungsstücken für eine intensive Reinigung nur schwer zugänglich sind, mit der Folge, daß in Schuhen teilweise eine erhebliche Geruchsentwicklung entsteht. Da Schuhe zudem so ausgelegt sind, daß sie das Eindringen von Nässe verhindern, ist kaum verwunderlich, daß ein Abtransport der durch Transpiration der Füße entstehenden Feuchtig- keit nur langsam vonstatten geht. Das Innere von Schuhen ist daher häufig feucht, so daß dort eine Atmosphäre ausbildet, in der sich Bakterien und Pilze gut vermehren. Verletzungen an Füßen, wie beispielsweise Blasen, heilen in diesem Umfeld nur langsam.For the purposes of the invention, sole construction means the part of the shoe located under the sole of the user's foot, which can also be designed as an insole. The feet of people, especially their soles, count towards the body parts that tend to have high sweat emissions. This is problematic because the feet are often enclosed for hours by the shoes, which, in contrast to other items of clothing, are difficult to access for intensive cleaning, with the result that some of the shoes develop a considerable odor. Since shoes are also designed in such a way that they prevent the ingress of moisture, it is hardly surprising that the moisture that is produced by perspiration of the feet is carried away only slowly. The inside of shoes is therefore often moist, so that an atmosphere is formed in which bacteria and fungi multiply well. Foot injuries, such as blisters, heal slowly in this environment.
Zur Lösung dieses Problems sind Einlegesohlen bekannt, die Feuchtigkeit aufnehmen können. Derartige Sohlen können in den Schuh eingelegt und von Zeit zu Zeit ausgewechselt werden. In der europäischen Patentanmeldung EP 0 693 259 A2 ist eine Sohlenanordnung beschrieben, in der einzelne Elemente etwa da positioniert werden, wo sich die meistenTo solve this problem, insoles are known that can absorb moisture. Such Soles can be inserted into the shoe and replaced from time to time. European patent application EP 0 693 259 A2 describes a sole arrangement in which individual elements are positioned approximately where most of them are
Schweißdrüsen am Fuß befinden, austauschbar sind. Auch die auswechselbaren Elemente haben die bekannten Vorteile der Einlegesohlen. Jedoch ist derzeit kein Sohlenaufbau bekannt, der im Stande ist, viel Feuchtigkeit aufzunehmen und von den Fußsohlen abzuschotten, die Feuchtigkeit dabei schnell aus dem Bereich der Fußsohlen abführt und bei Nichtbenut- zung der Schuhe die Feuchtigkeit wieder an die Umgebung abgibt.Sweat glands on the foot, are interchangeable. The interchangeable elements also have the familiar advantages of insoles. However, no sole structure is currently known which is able to absorb a lot of moisture and to isolate it from the soles of the feet, which quickly removes moisture from the area of the soles of the feet and releases the moisture back into the environment when the shoes are not used.
Die Erfindung hat sich demgegenüber die Aufgabe gestellt, einen Sohlenaufbau zu schaffen, der all diese Eigenschaften hat und dabei einfach herzu- stellen ist.In contrast, the invention has set itself the task of creating a sole structure that has all of these properties and is easy to manufacture.
Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, daß die obere Schicht diffusionsoffen ist, die untere Schicht aus Fasermaterial mit saugfähigen Fa- sern besteht und die beiden Schichten miteinander vernadelt sind.This object is achieved according to the invention in that the upper layer is open to diffusion, the lower layer consists of fiber material with absorbent fibers and the two layers are needled together.
Grundidee der Erfindung ist, eine untere Schicht aus saugfähigen Fasern zur Speicherung der Feuch- tigkeit zu schaffen und darüber eine obere Schicht anzuordnen, die die Feuchtigkeit von den Fußsohlen abschottet. Um Feuchtigkeit im Falle der Nichtbe- nutzung der Schuhe entweichen zu lassen, muß die obere Schicht diffusionsoffen sein. Zudem sind die beiden Schichten miteinander vernadelt, sodaß sich saugfähige Fasern in der oberen Schicht befinden, die die Feuchtigkeit der oberen Schicht aufnehmen und aufgrund ihrer Saugfähigkeit in die untere Schicht ableiten. Die saugfähigen Fasern wirken also wie Kanäle, die die Feuchtigkeit aus der oberen Schicht entfernen. Der erfindungsgemäße Sohlenaufbau ist also saugfähig, ohne an der Oberfläche feucht zu sein, wobei die Feuchtigkeit auch noch leicht verdunsten kann. Zudem läßt er sich einfach herstellen.The basic idea of the invention is to create a lower layer of absorbent fibers for storing the moisture and to arrange an upper layer above it, which seals off the moisture from the soles of the feet. To allow moisture to escape when the shoes are not in use, the upper layer be open to diffusion. In addition, the two layers are needled together, so that there are absorbent fibers in the upper layer, which absorb the moisture of the upper layer and, due to their absorbency, dissipate them into the lower layer. The absorbent fibers act like channels that remove moisture from the upper layer. The sole structure according to the invention is therefore absorbent without being moist on the surface, and the moisture can also evaporate easily. It is also easy to manufacture.
Zur Beschleunigung des Abtransports von Feuchtig- keit aus der oberen Schicht sollten saugfähige Fasern weit in die obere Schicht greifend eingenadelt sein, also möglichst bis oberhalb der Mitte der oberen Schicht oder gar bis direkt unter die Oberseite der oberen Schicht. Um die Feuchtigkeit von den Fußsohlen abzuschotten, sollten die saugfähigen Fasern jedoch nicht direkt mit den Fußsohlen in Verbindung stehen, also nicht ganz bis zur Oberseite der oberen Schicht reichen.In order to accelerate the removal of moisture from the upper layer, absorbent fibers should be needled far into the upper layer, ie as far as possible above the middle of the upper layer or even directly below the top of the upper layer. In order to isolate the moisture from the soles of the feet, however, the absorbent fibers should not be in direct contact with the soles of the feet, i.e. they should not reach the top of the upper layer.
In vorteilhafter Gestaltung der Erfindung ist die obere Schicht durch ein Vlies gebildet. Ein solches Material trägt sich angenehm und läßt sich zudem gut vernadeln. Die Verarbeitung einer derartigen Oberschicht ist also einfach. Als Material hierfür empfiehlt sich vor allem PES (= Polyester) oderIn an advantageous embodiment of the invention, the upper layer is formed by a fleece. Such a material is comfortable to wear and can also be needled well. The processing of such an upper layer is therefore simple. PES (= polyester) or is recommended as the material for this
Synthetik. Diese Materialien sind diffusionsoffen und haben sich bereits in Schuhsohlen bewährt. Auch die untere Schicht ist aus den eben genannten Gründen vorzugsweise durch ein Vlies gebildet, das allerdings saugfähig sein muß. Als Materialien empfehlen sich insbesondere Viskose, Polyamid oder Baumwolle.Synthetic. These materials are open to diffusion and have already proven themselves in shoe soles. For the reasons just mentioned, the lower layer is also preferably formed by a fleece, which, however, must be absorbent. Viscose, polyamide or cotton are particularly recommended as materials.
Die Schichten eines erfindungsgemäßen Sohlenaufbaus sind idealerweise dick genug, daß die obere Schicht die Feuchtigkeit gut von den Fußsohlen abschottet und die untere Schicht ausreichende Mengen anThe layers of a sole structure according to the invention are ideally thick enough that the upper layer seals off the moisture well from the soles of the feet and the lower layer contains sufficient amounts
Feuchtigkeit speichern kann. Dabei sollte der Ge- samtsohlenaufbau jedoch nicht zu schwer sein und auch nicht so dick sein, daß die Sohle insgesamt schwammig wirkt. Um diese Eigenschaften zu erfül- len, hat die untere und obere Schicht jeweils möglichst ein Flächengewicht von 300 bis 400 g/m2.Can store moisture. However, the overall sole structure should not be too heavy and should not be so thick that the sole appears spongy overall. In order to fulfill these properties, the lower and upper layers each have a weight per unit area of 300 to 400 g / m 2 .
Der Einsatzbereich für den erfindungsgemäßen Sohlenaufbau ist vielfältig. Er läßt sich sowohl in Straßenschuhen mit oder ohne Fußbett, in Berg-,The area of application for the sole structure according to the invention is diverse. It can be worn in street shoes with or without a footbed, in mountain,
Wander- oder Skischuhen sowie in Sportschuhen und Gummistiefeln verwenden. Die Einbringung ist sowohl in Herren- als auch in Damenschuhen möglich. Dazu kann der Sohlenaufbau in den Schuh integriert oder als vom Schuh getrennte Einlegesohle Verwendung finden. Entsprechend ergeben sich auch unterschiedliche Formen für die Einlegesohle oder den Sohlenaufbau. Um den Herstellungsprozeß der unterschiedlichen Sohlen dennoch ähnlich zu gestalten, schlägt die Erfindung vor, in zumindest einer der beiden Schichten ein formbares Material zu verwenden und den Sohlenaufbau zu formen. Geeignet hierzu ist insbesondere ein Schmelzfaseranteil in einer oder in beiden Schichten. Der Sohlenaufbau läßt sich dann unter Wärmeeinwirkung prägen und kann danach zusätzlich als Träger eines Fußbettes dienen. Je nach Einsatzbereich sind unterschiedliche Prägungen möglich.Use hiking or skiing shoes, as well as sports shoes and rubber boots. The insertion is possible in both men's and women's shoes. The sole structure can be integrated into the shoe or used as an insole that is separate from the shoe. Accordingly, there are also different shapes for the insole or the sole structure. In order to make the manufacturing process of the different soles similar, the invention proposes to use a moldable material in at least one of the two layers and to shape the sole structure. A melt fiber content in or is particularly suitable for this in both layers. The sole structure can then be embossed under the influence of heat and can then also serve as a support for a footbed. Different embossments are possible depending on the area of application.
Materialien, die für den erfindungsgemäßen Sohlenaufbau vorgeschlagen werden, insbesondere Vliese, haben die Eigenschaft, daß darin Reibungselektrizi- tat entstehen kann, so daß sich der Sohlenaufbau unter Umständen stark auflad. Zur Ableitung dieser Ladungen wird vorgeschlagen, in zumindest einer der Schicht leitfähige Fasern, insbesondere aus Stahl oder Kohlenstoff einzubringen. Über leitfähige Fa- sern kann zudem ein elektrischer Kontakt zwischen Person und Boden hergestellt werden, so daß statische Ladungen der Person ständig abgeführt werden. Dadurch lassen sich Stromschläge, die die Person aufgrund statischer Aufladung erfahren könnte, ver- hindern. Auch Beschädigungen insbesondere elektronischer Geräte, die bei Bearbeitung durch statisch aufgeladene Personen entstehen könnten, unterbleiben bei Verwendung entsprechender Schuhe. Durch das Vernadeln können leitfähige Fasern, die nur in ei- ner Schicht eingebracht sind, auch in die anderen Schichten eingeführt werden.Materials that are proposed for the sole structure according to the invention, in particular nonwovens, have the property that frictional electricity can arise therein, so that the sole structure can become highly charged under certain circumstances. To discharge these charges, it is proposed to introduce conductive fibers, in particular made of steel or carbon, into at least one of the layers. Electrical fibers can also be used to make electrical contact between the person and the floor, so that static charges on the person are constantly dissipated. This prevents electric shocks that the person could experience due to static electricity. Damage to electronic devices in particular, which could occur during processing by statically charged persons, is also avoided when using appropriate shoes. By needling, conductive fibers that are only introduced in one layer can also be introduced into the other layers.
Die Erfindung schlägt weiterhin ein Verfahren zur Herstellung eines Sohlenaufbaus vor. Dabei werden die beiden Schichten aufeinander gelegt und nachfolgend miteinander vernadelt. Der Herstellungsprozeß ist einfach und ermöglicht dabei die Produktion hochwertiger Sohlen. Ein weiterer Gegenstand der Erfindung ist eine geformte Sohle. Diese Eigenschaft ist erreichbar durch einen Anteil verformbaren Materials in einer der Schichten. Die Formung wird möglichst nach dem Vernadeln durchgeführt, da sich ein geformter Sohlenaufbau nur schwer vernadeln läßt. Ein Sohlenaufbau kann auch in ungeformtem Zustand an einen Schuhproduzenten geliefert und erst durch den Schuhproduzenten geformt werden, was insbesondere bei Verwendung von Schmelzfasern gut möglich ist.The invention further proposes a method for producing a sole structure. The two layers are placed on top of each other and then needled together. The manufacturing process is simple and enables the production of high quality soles. Another object of the invention is a molded sole. This property can be achieved by a proportion of deformable material in one of the layers. The shaping is preferably carried out after needling, since a shaped sole structure is difficult to needling. A sole structure can also be supplied to a shoe manufacturer in the unformed state and only be shaped by the shoe manufacturer, which is particularly possible when using melt fibers.
Weitere Einzelheiten, Merkmale und Vorteile der Erfindung lassen sich dem nachfolgenden Beschreibungsteil entnehmen, in dem anhand einer Figur, die in prinzipienhafter Darstellung gehalten ist, ein Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung näher erläutert wird. Sie zeigt einen vertikalen Schnitt durch den erfindungsgemäßen Sohlenaufbau.Further details, features and advantages of the invention can be found in the following description section, in which an exemplary embodiment of the invention is explained in more detail with reference to a figure which is shown in a basic representation. It shows a vertical section through the sole structure according to the invention.
Der erfindungsgemäße Sohlenaufbau besteht aus einer oberen Schicht (1) und einer untere Schicht (2) , die miteinander vernadelt sind. Die obere Schicht (1) ist diffusionsoffen und die untere Schicht (2) enthält saugfähige Fasern (3) , in der Figur nur angedeutet, die zum Teil durch Vernadeln in die obere Schicht eingeführt sind. Die saugfähigen Fasern (3) wirken dort wie Kanäle, die die unter der Fußsohle entstehende Feuchtigkeit in die untere Schicht abführen. Werden die Schuhe nicht getragen, so kann Feuchtigkeit aus der unteren Schicht (2) durch die diffusionsoffene obere Schicht (1) austreten. Damit ist eine schnelle Trocknung der Sohle möglich. Der erfindungsgemäße Sohlenaufbau kann als auswechselbare Einlegesohle gebildet oder im Schuh integriert sein. The sole structure according to the invention consists of an upper layer (1) and a lower layer (2), which are needled together. The upper layer (1) is open to diffusion and the lower layer (2) contains absorbent fibers (3), only indicated in the figure, which are partly introduced into the upper layer by needling. The absorbent fibers (3) act like channels that dissipate the moisture generated under the sole of the foot into the lower layer. If the shoes are not worn, it can Moisture can escape from the lower layer (2) through the upper layer (1) which is open to diffusion. This allows the sole to dry quickly. The sole structure according to the invention can be formed as a replaceable insole or can be integrated in the shoe.
