Description

Der Gegenstand der Erfindung bezieht sich auf einen Strumpf, eine Socke oder desgleichen sowie auf ein Verfahren zu deren Herstellung.The object of the invention relates to a stocking, a sock or the same as well as a process for their production.

Es sind Socken bekannt, die einen Fußbereich und einen sich an den Fußbereich anschließenden Schaftbereich aufweisen. Der Schaftbereich weist einen Bund auf, der dem Fußbereich gegenüberliegend angeordnet ist.Socks are known that have a foot area and a foot area have adjoining shaft area. The shaft area has a collar, which is arranged opposite the foot area.

Problematisch bei Socken ist, daß diese während des Tragens von einer vorgegebenen Position am Bein einer Person herunterrutschen können. Um dies zu vermeiden sind bereits unterschiedliche Ausgestaltungen von Socken bekannt. Insbesondere ist es bekannt, den Bund so auszubilden, daß dieser elastisch ist. Er weist auch eine kleinere Querschnittsfläche auf als der Schaftbereich der Socke. Um die Elastizität des Bundes zu erreichen wird bei den bekannten Socken wenigstens ein elastischer Faden im Bund angeordnet.The problem with socks is that they are of a given size while they are being worn Position on a person's leg can slide down. To avoid this Different designs of socks are already known. In particular it is known to form the collar so that it is elastic. He points also has a smaller cross-sectional area than the shaft area of the sock. To the At least one of the known socks achieves elasticity of the waistband elastic thread arranged in the waistband.

Wird eine solche Socke am Bein angeordnet, so übt der Bund eine Kraft auf das Bein der Person aus, die im wesentlichen radial einwärts gerichtet ist. Diese radial einwärts gerichtete Kraft erzeugt eine Reibungskraft, die im wesentlichen parallel zur Oberfläche des Beins verläuft.If such a sock is placed on the leg, the collar exerts a force on the Leg of the person who is directed essentially radially inwards. This radial Inward force creates a frictional force that is substantially parallel runs to the surface of the leg.

Es ist festgestellt worden, daß im Laufe der Gebrauchsdauer die vom Bund auf das Bein erzeugte radial einwärts gerichtete Kraft kleiner wird. Dies kann zum Teil auch darauf zurückgeführt werden, daß der elastische Faden seine Elastizität verliert. Es kann auch vorkommen, daß der elastische Faden als solcher reißt.It has been found that over the course of its useful life, that of the federal government the leg generated radially inward force becomes smaller. This can lead to Part of it can be attributed to the fact that the elastic thread its elasticity loses. It can also happen that the elastic thread as such tears.

Durch die GB 2 217 972 A ist ein selbsthaltender Strumpf bekannt. Dieser Strumpf weist einen Fußbereich und einen Schaftbereich auf, wobei der Schaftbereich eine solche Länge aufweist, daß dieser im wesentlichen sich über die gesamte Länge des Beins erstreckt. Zum Festlegen des Strumpfes am Bein weist der Schaft einen Bund aus einem verstärkten Gewebe auf. An diesen Bund ist ein Streifen befestigt. Die Enden des Streifens können an beliebigen Stellen miteinander verbunden werden, so daß eine Schlinge mit variablem Umfang gebildet werden kann. Vergleichbare Ausgestaltungen eines Strumpfes beschreiben auch die FR 1 565 527 A und die FR 1 530 617 A.A self-holding stocking is known from GB 2 217 972 A. This Stocking has a foot area and a shaft area, the Shaft area has such a length that it essentially overlaps extends the entire length of the leg. To fix the stocking on the leg the shaft has a collar made of a reinforced fabric. On this A strip is attached to the waistband. The ends of the strip can be at any Places are connected together so that a noose with variable Scope can be formed. Comparable designs of a stocking also describe FR 1 565 527 A and FR 1 530 617 A.

Der Streifen wird an dem oberen Bereich des Strumpfes angenäht. Dies erfordert einen nicht unerheblichen Arbeitsaufwand. Da sich der Streifen als solcher in einem Bereich befindet, der durch die Bekleidung der tragenden Person abgedeckt ist, ist die ästhetische Wirkung eines solchen Streifens von untergeordneter Bedeutung.The strip is sewn to the top of the stocking. This requires a not inconsiderable amount of work. Since the strip as such located in an area covered by the wearer's clothing is, the aesthetic effect of such a strip is of subordinate Importance.

Durch die US 3,590,390 A ist ein Haltestreifen bekannt, der eine Vielzahl von Halteelementen aufweist. Der Haltestreifen wird an einem Strumpf angenäht, so daß der Haltestreifen ein Rutschen des Strumpfes verhindern soll. Die Herstellung eines solchen Strumpfes ist relativ aufwendig, da zunächst ein Strumpf als solcher und ein Haltestreifen als solcher ausgebildet werden müssen. Anschließend müssen Strumpf und Haltestreifen miteinander vernäht werden. A holding strip is known from US 3,590,390 A, which has a variety of Has holding elements. The tether is sewn onto a stocking, so that the tether should prevent the stocking from slipping. The production such a stocking is relatively expensive, since first a Stocking as such and a tether must be formed as such. Then the stocking and the holding strip must be sewn together become.

Aus der US 2,514,108 A ist ein Strumpf gemäß dem Oberbegriff von Anspruch 1 bekannt, der großflächige, ebene Haftstrukturen aufweist.From US 2,514,108 A is a stocking according to the preamble of claim 1 known, which has large, flat adhesive structures.

Hiervon ausgehend liegt der vorliegenden Erfindung die Zielsetzung zugrunde, einen Strumpf, eine Socke oder desgleichen sowie ein Verfahren zur Herstellung eines Strumpfes, einer Socke oder desgleichen anzugeben, welcher einen erhöhten Tragekomfort aufweist.Proceeding from this, the present invention is based on the objective of a stocking, a sock or the like, and a method of making the same a stocking, a sock or the like, which one has increased comfort.

Diese Zielsetzung wird erfindungsgemäß durch einen Strumpf, eine Socke oder desgleichen mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1 beziehungsweise durch ein Verfahren mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 11 erreicht. Vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen und Ausgestaltungen sind Gegenstand der abhängigen Ansprüche.According to the invention, this objective is achieved by a stocking, a sock or likewise with the features of claim 1 or by a Method with the features of claim 11 achieved. Advantageous further training and configurations are the subject of the dependent claims.

Der erfindungsgemäße Strumpf, die Socke oder desgleichen weist einen Fußbereich und einen Schaftbereich auf. Der Schaftbereich schließt sich an den Fußbereich an. Einstückig mit dem Schaftbereich ist ein Bund ausgebildet, der dem Fußbereich gegenüberliegend angeordnet ist. Desweiteren ist eine Haltehilfe vorgesehen, die an einer Innenseite des Bundes ausgebildet ist. Diese Haltehilfe ist durch mehrere Haftstrukturen, die beabstandet zueinander sind, gebildet. Die Haftstrukturen sind so ausgebildet, daß diese beim Tragen des Strumpfes, der Socke oder desgleichen zur Anlage an die Beinoberfläche gelangen. Der Reibungskoeffizient der Haftstrukturen ist dabei höher als der Reibungskoeffizient des Bundes, so daß die Haftstruktur ein Rutschen des Strumpfes, der Socke oder desgleichen zumindest verhindert, wenn nicht völlig unterbindet. The stocking according to the invention, the sock or the like has a foot region and a shaft area. The shaft area connects to the Foot area. A collar is formed in one piece with the shaft region is arranged opposite the foot area. Furthermore is a holding aid provided that is formed on an inside of the federal government. This Holding aid is through several adhesive structures that are spaced apart, educated. The adhesive structures are designed so that when wearing the Stockings, the sock or the like come to rest on the surface of the legs. The coefficient of friction of the adhesive structures is higher than the coefficient of friction of the federal government, so that the adhesive structure slips the Stockings that prevent socks or the like, if not completely in derogation.

Die Herstellung des Strumpfes, der Socke oder desgleichen ist vereinfacht, da in Abkehr von den bekannten Vorschlägen zur Ausbildung von rutschfesten Strümpfen kein zusätzliches Band vorgesehen ist, welches mit dem Strumpf verbunden werden muß.The manufacture of the stocking, the sock or the like is simplified because in deviation from the known proposals for the formation of non-slip Stockings no additional band is provided, which with the stocking must be connected.

Im Nachfolgenden wird beispielhaft auf eine Socke Bezug genommen, wobei dies exemplarisch ist und die Ausführungen zur Socke auch für die Ausbildung eines Strumpfes oder desgleichen gelten.In the following, reference is made to a sock by way of example, wherein this is exemplary and the comments on the sock also for training of a stocking or the like apply.

Da die Gestalt sowie die Oberfläche eines Beins unterschiedlicher Personen unterschiedlich ist, wird gemäß einer vorteilhaften Weiterbildung der Erfindung vorgeschlagen, daß wenigstens ein Teil der Haftstrukturen durch wenigstens zwei Gruppen von sich geometrisch unterscheidenden Haftstrukturen gebildet ist. Hierdurch kann erreicht werden, daß die Haftstrukturen an die Oberfläche des Beins zur Anlage gelangen. Insbesondere können die Haftstrukturen entsprechend einer typisierten Form eines Beins am Umfang des Bundes so verteilt werden, daß diese in den Bereichen häufiger auftreten, in denen das typisierte Bein eine höhere Konizität aufweist als in den Bereichen, in denen die Konizität geringer ist.Because the shape and surface of a leg are different people is different, according to an advantageous development of the invention suggested that at least a part of the adhesive structures by at least two groups of geometrically different adhesive structures were formed is. This can ensure that the adhesive structures on the surface of the leg get to the facility. In particular, the adhesive structures can correspond to a typified shape of a leg on the circumference of the covenant so that this occur more frequently in areas where the typed leg has a higher taper than in the areas where the taper is less.

Im Gebrauch wird eine Socke auch nach dem Tragkomfort beurteilt. Der Tragkomfort ist dadurch erhöht, daß wenigstens eine Haftstruktur durch eine Agglomeration von Mikrostrukturen gebildet ist. Hierdurch wird erreicht, daß zwischen den Mikrostrukturen luftdurchlässige Bereiche entstehen. Dies kann alternativ auch dadurch erreicht werden, daß wenigstens ein Teil der Oberfläche mindestens einer Haftstruktur Erhebungen und/oder Vertiefungen aufweist.In use, a sock is also assessed for comfort. The comfort is increased in that at least one adhesive structure by a Agglomeration of microstructures is formed. This ensures that Air-permeable areas arise between the microstructures. This can alternatively can also be achieved in that at least part of the surface has at least one adhesive structure elevations and / or depressions.

Durch die Ausbildung von Haftstrukturen mittels Mikrostrukturen kann auch eine verbesserte Anpassung der Haftstrukturen an die Topographie des Beins einer Person, die die Socke trägt, erreicht werden.By forming adhesive structures using microstructures, one can also improved adaptation of the adhesive structures to the topography of the leg Person wearing the sock can be reached.

Die Haftstrukturen können unregelmäßig am Bund ausgebildet sein. Bevorzugt ist jedoch eine Ausbildung einer Socke, bei der die sich vorzugsweise geometrisch unterscheidenden Haftstrukturen regelmäßig am Bund verteilt sind. Durch diese Maßnahme wird eine vereinfachte Herstellung der Socke erreicht.The adhesive structures can be irregularly formed on the collar. Is preferred however, a formation of a sock, which is preferably geometric distinctive detention structures are regularly distributed around the federal government. Through this Measure, a simplified manufacture of the sock is achieved.

Die Größe der Haftstrukturen ist so gewählt, daß die Haftstrukturen das äußere Erscheinungsbild des Bundes nicht oder in einem nur sehr geringem Umfang beeinträchtigen. Bei relativ kleinen Haftstrukturen, insbesondere bei Haftstrukturen, die durch Agglomeration von Mikrostrukturen gebildet sind, ist es nicht zwingend notwendig, daß die Haftstrukturen aus einem elastischen Werkstoff bestehen, da die Hanstrukturen nur mit kleinen Bereichen des Bundes verbunden sind, durch die die Elastizität des Bundes nicht oder nur in einem sehr geringen Umfang beeinflußt wird. The size of the adhesive structures is selected so that the adhesive structures are external Do not affect the appearance of the federal government or to a very small extent. With relatively small adhesive structures, especially with adhesive structures, that are formed by agglomeration of microstructures, it is not mandatory necessary that the adhesive structures consist of an elastic material, because the Han structures are only connected to small areas of the federal government which does not affect the elasticity of the covenant or only to a very small extent becomes.

In diesem Zusammenhang wird auch vorgeschlagen, daß ein Teil der Haftstrukturen in eine im wesentlichen quer zu einer Längsachse des Schaftbereiches verlaufenden Ebene und wenigstens ein weiterer Teil der Haftstrukturen in wenigstens einer im wesentlichen parallel zur Ebene verlaufenden Ebene angeordnet ist. Durch diese Maßnahme wird eine Verteilung der Haftstrukturen am Bund erreicht, die in vorteilhafter Weise die ursprünglichen Eigenschaften, d. h. die Eigenschaften des Bundes ohne der Haftstrukturen, nicht oder kaum beeinflussen.In this context, it is also proposed that part of the detention structures in a substantially transverse to a longitudinal axis of the shaft region Level and at least a further part of the adhesive structures in at least a plane running essentially parallel to the plane is arranged. This measure results in a distribution of the detention structures on the federal government, which advantageously preserves the original properties, i.e. H. the properties of the federal government without the detention structures, little or no influence.

Gemäß einer noch weiteren vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung wird vorgeschlagen, daß die Haftstrukturen so angeordnet sind, daß in einer Projektion zwischen zwei benachbarten Haftstrukturen der einen Ebene wenigstens eine Haftstruktur einer weiteren Ebene liegt. Vorzugsweise überlappen sich die Haftstrukturen der wenigstens zwei Ebenen in einer Projektion. In der Projektion erscheint quasi ein geschlossener Ring von Haftstrukturen, der sich über den gesamten Innenumfang des Bundes erstreckt.According to a still further advantageous embodiment, it is proposed that the adhesive structures are arranged so that in a projection between two neighboring ones Adhesive structures of one level at least one adhesive structure of one another level. The adhesive structures of the at least preferably overlap two levels in one projection. A appears in the projection closed ring of adhesive structures that extends over the entire inner circumference of the federal government.

Die Erfindung ist insbesondere für Socken geeignet, da Socken im sichtbaren Bereich getragen werden, so daß unästhetisch wirkende Haltemittel, wie sie zum Stand der Technik zählen, bei Socken nicht eingesetzt werden. Gemäß einer noch weiteren vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung der Socke wird vorgeschlagen, daß der Schaftbereich eine Länge von wenigstens 0,28 m, insbesondere 0,32 m aufweist. Diese Länge des Schaftbereiches hat den Vorteil, daß beim Tragen einer solchen Socke in Verbindung mit einem Beinkleid, insbesondere einer Hose, auch beim Hochrutschen des Beinkleides das Bein durch die Socke bedeckt bleibt.The invention is particularly suitable for socks, since socks are in the visible range are worn, so that non-aesthetic holding devices, such as for State of the art, are not used in socks. According to one more Another advantageous embodiment of the sock is proposed that the Shank area has a length of at least 0.28 m, in particular 0.32 m. This length of the shaft area has the advantage that when wearing one Sock in connection with a trousers, especially trousers, also with Raising the leg dress the leg remains covered by the sock.

Die Haftstrukturen können beispielsweise mittels eines Klebers mit dem Bund verbunden werden. Bevorzugt ist jedoch eine Ausgestaltung der Socke, bei der die Haftstrukturen unmittelbar auf den Bund aufgebracht sind.The adhesive structures can, for example, be glued to the collar get connected. However, an embodiment of the sock is preferred in which the Adhesive structures are applied directly to the federal government.

Gemäß einem noch weiteren erfinderischen Gedanken wird ein Verfahren zur Herstellung eines Strumpfes, einer Socke oder desgleichen mit wenigstens einer Haftstruktur vorgeschlagen. Das Verfahren zeichnet sich dadurch aus, daß zunächst ein Strumpf, eine Socke oder desgleichen mit einem Fußbereich, einem Schaftbereich, der sich an den Fußbereich anschließt, und mit einem einstückig mit dem Schaftbereich ausgebildeten Bund, der dem Fußbereich gegenüberliegend angeordnet ist, ausgebildet, insbesondere gestrickt wird. Danach werden auf der Innenseite des Bundes mehrere zueinander beabstandete Haftstrukturen ausgebildet, so daß diese eine Haltehilfe bilden. Vorzugsweise werden die Haftstrukturen unmittelbar auf der Innenseite des Bundes ausgebildetAccording to yet another inventive concept, a method for Production of a stocking, a sock or the like with at least one Detention structure proposed. The process is characterized in that initially a stocking, a sock or the like with a foot area, a Shank area that adjoins the foot area, and with one piece with the collar area formed, the opposite of the foot area is arranged, is formed, in particular knitted. After that, be on the inside the federal government has formed several spaced-apart detention structures, so that they form a holding aid. The adhesive structures are preferred trained directly on the inside of the federal government

Die Haftstrukturen können beispielhaft dadurch auf den Innenbund aufgebracht werden, daß mittels geeigneter Schablonen mit entsprechenden Durchgangsöffnungen, die im wesentlichen der Gestalt der Haftstruktur entsprechen, ein Werkstoff im flüssigen, insbesondere zähflüssigen Zustand auf den Innenbund aufgebracht wird. Anschließend erfolgt eine Verfestigung des Werkstoffes. Es ist auch möglich, die Haftstrukturen einzeln durch entsprechende Mittel auszubilden. Beispielsweise können die Haftstrukturen durch tröpfchenweise Abgabe des Werkstoffes auf die Oberfläche der Innenseite des Bundes erfolgen. Gegebenenfalls kann der Werkstoff ein Schäumungsmittel enthalten, durch welches die Oberfläche der Haftstruktur während einer thermischen Behandlung vergrößert wird.The adhesive structures can be applied to the inner waistband as an example be that by means of suitable templates with corresponding through openings, which essentially correspond to the shape of the adhesive structure, a material applied to the inner collar in the liquid, in particular viscous, state becomes. The material then solidifies. It is also possible to form the adhesive structures individually by appropriate means. For example can the adhesive structures by dropping the material done on the surface of the inside of the federal government. Possibly the material can contain a foaming agent through which the surface the adhesive structure is enlarged during a thermal treatment.

Figures 3 and 4 show a further embodiment of the embodiment a sock, the illustration in FIGS. 3 and 4 being limited to the collar 4 is.

An der Innenseite 6 des Bundes 4 ist eine Mehrzahl von Haftstrukturen 7, 7a und 8 vorgesehen. Die Haftstrukturen bilden eine Haltehilfe 5. Die Haftstrukturen 7 sind im wesentlichen in Form einer Pyramide ausgebildet. Sie bilden eine erste Gruppe von Haftstrukturen. Die Haftstrukturen 7a sind im wesentlichen in Form eines Quaders ausgebildet. Sie bilden eine zweite Gruppe von Haftstrukturen. Die Haftstrukturen 8 sind im wesentlichen in Form eines Tetraeders ausgebildet. Sie bilden eine dritte Gruppe von Haftstrukturen. Die geometrischen Formen, wie sie in den Figuren 3 und 4 dargestellt sind, müssen nicht zwingend im streng genommenen Sinne der Geometrie sein.On the inside 6 of the collar 4 there are a plurality of adhesive structures 7, 7a and 8 provided. The adhesive structures form a holding aid 5. The adhesive structures 7 are essentially in the form of a pyramid. They are the first Group of detention structures. The adhesive structures 7a are essentially in shape a cuboid. They form a second group of detention structures. The Adhesive structures 8 are essentially in the form of a tetrahedron. she form a third group of detention structures. The geometric shapes like them 3 and 4 are not necessarily strictly speaking Be the sense of geometry.

Die Darstellung zeigt, daß die Haltehilfe 5 durch drei Gruppen von sich geometrisch unterscheidenden Haftstrukturen 7, 7a und 8 gebildet ist. Die pyramidenförmigen Haftstrukturen 7 sowie die quaderförmigen Haftstrukturen 7a liegen in einer gemeinsamen Ebene 9. In der parallel zur Ebene 9 liegenden Ebene 10 sind die tetraederförmig ausgebildeten Haftstrukturen 8 angeordnet. Die Haftstrukturen 8 sind so positioniert, daß sie zwischen zwei benachbarten Haftstrukturen der Ebene 9 positioniert sind. In der Ebene 9 wechseln sich die Haftstrukturen 7, 7a ab.The illustration shows that the holding aid 5 by three groups of itself geometrically distinguishing adhesive structures 7, 7a and 8 is formed. The pyramid-shaped Adhesive structures 7 and the cuboid adhesive structures 7a are in FIG a common level 9. In the level 10 lying parallel to level 9 the tetrahedral-shaped adhesive structures 8 are arranged. The detention structures 8 are positioned so that they between the two adjacent adhesive structures Level 9 are positioned. The adhesive structures 7, 7a alternate in level 9 from.

Die Höhe der Haftstrukturen 7, 7a und 8 ist im wesentlichen gleich. Bevorzugt ist eine Ausgestaltung, bei denen die Höhe der Haftstrukturen 7 und 8 größer ist als die Höhe der Haftstrukturen 7a. Die Haftstrukturen bestehen vorzugsweise aus einem elastischen Material, so daß die Haftstrukturen während des Tragens der Socke leicht deformiert werden, so daß die Anlagefläche an das Bein der Person, die die Socke trägt, vergrößert.The height of the adhesive structures 7, 7a and 8 is essentially the same. Is preferred an embodiment in which the height of the adhesive structures 7 and 8 is greater than the height of the adhesive structures 7a. The adhesive structures preferably consist of an elastic material, so that the adhesive structures while wearing the Sock can be slightly deformed so that the contact surface against the person's leg, who wears the sock, enlarged.

Figuren 5 und 6 zeigen eine noch weitere Ausführungsfonn einer Haltehilfe 5, die an einer Innenseite 6 des Bundes 4 einer Socke ausgebildet ist. Die Haltehilfe umfaßt Haftstrukturen 12. Die Haftstrukturen sind durch eine Agglomeration von Mikrostrukturen 14 gebildet. In dem dargestellten Ausführtinesbeispiel weist die Haftstruktur 12 ein mit dem Bund 4 verbundenes Grundteil 13 auf. An der, der Innenseite 6 des Bundes 4 gegenüberliegenden Fläche des Grundteils 13 und von dieser weg erstrecken sich die Mikrostrukturen 14. Die Mikrostrukturen 14 sind zylinderförmig ausgebildet. Durch die Mikrostrukturen 14, die in sich elastisch sind, wird eine sehr gute Anpassung der Haftstruktur 12 und somit der Haltehilfe an eine Beinoberfläche erreicht. Hierdurch wird auch der Tragkomfort der Socke gesteigert, da eine gewisse Luftzirkulation zwischen den Mikrostrukturen erreicht wird.FIGS. 5 and 6 show a still further embodiment of a holding aid 5, the is formed on an inner side 6 of the collar 4 of a sock.

Hierbei kann es sich um ein an und für sich bekanntes Strickverfahren handeln. Danach erfolgt die Ausbildung von mehreren zueinander beabstandeten Haftstrukturen an einer Innenseite 6 des Bundes 4, so daß diese eine Haltehilfe 5 bilden. Vorzugsweise sind die Haftstrukturen unmittelbar an der Innenseite des Bundes ausgebildet. The production of a stocking, a sock or the like with at least An adhesive structure takes place in such a way that first a stocking, a sock or the like with a foot area 2, a shaft area 3 and one piece with the shaft region 3 formed collar is formed. It can be a knitting process known per se. Then the Formation of several mutually spaced adhesive structures on an inside 6 of the federal government 4, so that they form a holding aid 5. Are preferred the adhesive structures are formed directly on the inside of the federal government.

Vorzugsweise wird die Socke oder der Strumpf desgleichen gewendet, so daß die beim Tragen innenliegende Seite 6 des Bundes 4 nach außen gebracht wird, so daß die Haftstrukturen von außen her auf den Bund 4 aufgebracht werden können.Preferably, the sock or stocking is turned over so that the when wearing inner side 6 of the federal government 4 is brought out, so that the adhesive structures can be applied to the collar 4 from the outside.

Die Aufbringung der Haftstrukturen erfolgt vorzugsweise mittels geeigneter Schablonen oder Formen. Insbesondere kann das Prinzip des Siebdruckverfahrens eingesetzt werden. Die Haftstrukturen können aus unterschiedlichen Werkstoffen bestehen. Vorzugsweise ist ein Abschnitt der Haftstrukturen elastisch ausgebildet. Insbesondere sollte der Abschnitt, der zur Anlage an eine Beinoberfläche gelangt, elastisch sein. In diesem Zusammenhang wird das Zweikomponenten-Spritzverfahren zur Bildung der Haftstrukturen vorgeschlagen. The adhesive structures are preferably applied by means of suitable ones Stencils or shapes. In particular, the principle of the screen printing process be used. The adhesive structures can be made of different materials consist. A section of the adhesive structures is preferably designed to be elastic. In particular, the section that comes to rest on a leg surface should be elastic. In this context, the two-component spraying process proposed to form the detention structures.
