Description

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 one 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 Schweißabgaben 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 Feuchtigkeit 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.Under sole construction in the sense of the invention Part located under the sole of the user's foot of the shoe understood as the insole can be trained. Feet of people, in particular their soles count towards the excessive welding emissions sloping body parts. That is why problematic because the feet often last for hours are enclosed in the shoes, which are in contrast to other items of clothing for intensive cleaning are difficult to access, with the result that in shoes, in some cases, a considerable development of smell arises. Because shoes are also designed this way are that they prevent the ingress of moisture, it is hardly surprising that removal of the moisture arising from perspiration of the feet is slow. The inside of Shoes are therefore often damp, so there is one Atmosphere in which bacteria and Multiply mushrooms well. Foot injuries like for example blisters, only heal in this environment slowly.

Zur Lösung dieses Problems sind Einlegesohlen bekannt, die Feuchtigkeit aufnehmen können. Derartige 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. Aus der DE-A-3 032 941 ist der dreischichtige Aufbau einer Brandsohle bekannt, bei der zwischen eine diffusionsoffene Oberlage und eine Unterlage eine Zwischenlage aus saugfähigen Moosfasern eingbracht ist, wobei die Schichten miteinander vernäht sind. In der europäischen Patentanmeldung EP 0 693 259 A2 ist eine Sohlenanordnung beschrieben, in der einzelne Elemente etwa da positioniert werden, wo sich die meisten Schweißdrüsen am Fuß befinden, austauschbar sind. Auch die auswechselbaren Elemente haben die bekannten Vorteile der Einlegesohlen. Aus der WO 97/40717 wird ein Sohlenaufbau vorgeschlagen, bei der bei mindestens dreischichtigem Aufbau eine Absorptionsschicht vorgesehen ist, die dem Aufsaugen des Schweißes dient. Dessen Beseitigung erfolgt durch Auswaschen der Sohle. Die US-A-4 461 099 schließlich sieht die Verwendung einer dreischichtigen Sohle vor, bei der die Absorption über eine Zwischenschicht aus Aktivkohle erfolgt. 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 Nichtbenutzung der Schuhe die Feuchtigkeit wieder an die Umgebung abgibt.To solve this problem, insoles are known which can absorb moisture. such To solve this problem, insoles are known which can absorb moisture. such Soles can be inserted into the shoe and out of time to be replaced at the time. From DE-A-3 032 941 is the three-layer structure of an insole known, in between an open to diffusion Top layer and a base layer an intermediate layer absorbent moss fibers is introduced, the Layers are sewn together. In the European patent application EP 0 693 259 A2 a sole arrangement described in the individual Elements are positioned approximately where the most sweat glands on the foot are interchangeable are. The interchangeable elements also have them known advantages of insoles. From the WO 97/40717 a sole structure is proposed at an absorption layer with at least three layers is provided, the suction of sweat. Its removal takes place by washing the sole. U.S.-A-4,461,099 finally sees the use of a three layer Sole in front of which the absorption over a Intermediate layer made of activated carbon. However is currently no known sole structure that is able is to absorb a lot of moisture and from the soles of the feet seal off the moisture quickly from the area of the soles of the feet and at Not using the shoes to get the moisture back releases to the environment.

Die Erfindung hat sich demgegenüber die Aufgabe gestellt, einen Sohlenaufbau zu schaffen, der all diese Eigenschaften hat und dabei einfach herzustellen ist.In contrast, the invention has the object to create a sole construction that has these properties and is easy to manufacture is.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, daß der Aufbau aus 2 Schichten besteht und diese miteinander vernadelt sind.According to the invention, this object is achieved by that the structure consists of 2 layers and these are needled together.

Grundidee der Erfindung ist, eine untere Schicht aus saugfähigen Fasern zur Speicherung der Feuchtigkeit zu schaffen und darüber eine obere Schicht anzuordnen, die die Feuchtigkeit von den Fußsohlen abschottet. Um Feuchtigkeit im Falle der Nichtbenutzung 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 a lower layer made of absorbent fibers for storing moisture to create and over it an upper layer to arrange the moisture from the soles of the feet forecloses. To moisture in case of non-use to let the shoes escape, upper layer be open to diffusion. They are also two layers needled together so that absorbent fibers are in the top layer which absorb the moisture of the upper layer and due to its absorbency in the lower one Derive shift. The absorbent fibers work so like channels that get the moisture out of the top Remove layer. The sole structure according to the invention is so absorbent without being on the surface to be moist, with the moisture still can evaporate easily. It is also easy to use produce.

Zur Beschleunigung des Abtransports von Feuchtigkeit 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.To accelerate the removal of moisture from the top layer should be absorbent fibers Needled far into the upper layer be up to above the middle of the top layer or even right under the top the top layer. To the moisture of to isolate the soles of the feet, the absorbent should However, fibers do not come in directly with the soles of the feet Connected, so not all the way to the top 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) oder Synthetik. Diese Materialien sind diffusionsoffen und haben sich bereits in Schuhsohlen bewährt. In an advantageous embodiment of the invention upper layer formed by a fleece. Such one Material is comfortable and can also be worn needling well. Processing such So the upper class is easy. As material for this PES (= polyester) or Synthetic. These materials are open to diffusion and have already proven themselves in shoe soles.

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.The lower layer is also made of the aforementioned Reasons preferably formed by a fleece that but must be absorbent. Recommend as materials especially viscose, polyamide or Cotton.

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 an Feuchtigkeit speichern kann. Dabei sollte der Gesamtsohlenaufbau jedoch nicht zu schwer sein und auch nicht so dick sein, daß die Sohle insgesamt schwammig wirkt. Um diese Eigenschaften zu erfüllen, hat die untere und obere Schicht jeweils möglichst ein Flächengewicht von 300 bis 400 g/m2.The 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 can store sufficient amounts of moisture. However, the overall sole structure should not be too heavy and should not be so thick that the sole appears spongy overall. To meet 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 Schlenaufbau ist vielfältig. Er läßt sich sowohl in Straßenschuhen mit oder ohne Fußbett, in Berg-, 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.The area of application for the loop structure according to the invention is diverse. He can be both in Street shoes with or without footbed, in mountain, Hiking or ski boots as well as in sports shoes and Use rubber boots. The contribution is both possible in men's and women's shoes. To can the sole structure be integrated into the shoe or use as an insole separate from the shoe Find. Accordingly, there are also different ones Molds for the insole or sole structure. To the manufacturing process of the different Still designing soles similarly suggests the invention in at least one of the two Layers to use a malleable material and to shape the sole structure. Suitable for this is in particular a melt fiber content in one or in both layers. The sole structure can be then shape under the influence of heat and can afterwards also serve as a footbed carrier. ever there are different embossings depending on the area of application possible.

Materialien, die für den erfindungsgemäßen Sohlenaufbau vorgeschlagen werden, insbesondere Vliese, haben die Eigenschaft, daß darin Reibungselektrizität entstehen kann, so daß sich der Sohlenaufbau unter Umständen stark aufläd. Zur Ableitung dieser Ladungen wird vorgeschlagen, in zumindest einer der Schicht leitfähige Fasern, insbesondere aus Stahl oder Kohlenstoff einzubringen. Über leitfähige Fasern 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, verhindern. 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 einer Schicht eingebracht sind, auch in die anderen Schichten eingeführt werden.Materials for the sole structure according to the invention be proposed, especially nonwovens, have the property that there is frictional electricity can arise, so that the sole structure may charge heavily. To derive this Charges are suggested in at least one of the Layer of conductive fibers, especially steel or bring in carbon. About conductive fibers There may also be an electrical contact between Person and floor are made so that static Charges of the person are constantly dissipated. This can cause electric shock to the person prevent due to static electricity. Damage, especially electronic Devices that are processed by static charged persons could arise when using appropriate shoes. By the Conductive fibers can only be needled in one Layer are introduced, also in the other Layers are introduced.

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. The invention further proposes a method for Manufacture of a sole structure. In doing so put the two layers on top of each other and then needled together. The manufacturing process is simple and enables production high quality soles.

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.Another object of the invention is a shaped Sole. This property is achievable through a proportion of deformable material in one of layers. The formation is as possible after the Needling performed because there is a molded sole structure difficult to needle. A sole construction can also be in an unformed state Shoe producers delivered and only through the Shoe producers are shaped, what in particular when using melt fibers is quite possible.

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 remove, in the example of a figure, the is kept in a principled representation Embodiment of the invention explained in more detail becomes. It shows a vertical section through the sole construction according to the invention.

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 a upper layer (1) and a lower layer (2), who are needled together. The top layer (1) is open to diffusion and the lower layer (2) contains absorbent fibers (3), only indicated in the figure, some by needling into the upper one Layer are introduced. Absorbent fibers (3) there act like channels that go under the sole of the foot Dissipate moisture in the lower layer. If the shoes are not worn, it can Moisture from the lower layer (2) through the emerge open to diffusion upper layer (1). In order to quick drying of the sole is possible. The Sole construction according to the invention can be exchangeable Insole formed or integrated in the shoe his.
