Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung bezieht sich auf einen Dämpfungseinsatz für einen Schuh gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1 und auf einen Schuh mit einem derartigen Dämpfungseinsatz gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 30.The present invention relates to a Damping insert for a shoe according to the preamble of Claim 1 and on a shoe with such Damping insert according to the preamble of claim 30.

Ein Dämpfungseinsatz dieser Art und ein Schuh mit einem derartigen Dämpfungseinsatz ist aus dem deutschen Gebrauchsmuster 89 01 236 bekannt. Dort ist ein gasdichter Wabenkörper aus elastischem, kompressiblem Material im Fersenbereich eines Schuhes in eine Vertiefung, in einen Hohlraum einer federnd elastisch ausgebildeten Laufsohle oder in einer weichelastischen Zwischensohle einer Schuhsohle eingesetzt.A damping insert of this type and a shoe with such Damping insert is from the German utility model 89 01 236 known. There is a gas-tight one Honeycomb body made of elastic, compressible material in Heel area of a shoe in a recess, in a Cavity of a resiliently elastic outsole or in a soft elastic midsole Shoe sole used.

Durch die im Randbereich des fertigen Formkörpers geschlossenen Wabenzellen tritt eine deutliche Erhöhung der Rückstellkraft in diesem Bereich des Wabenkörpers ein, so daß der innere Bereich des dämpfenden oder Rückstellkräfte erzeugenden Wabenkörpers sogar weicher ist als dieser Randbereich.By the in the edge area of the finished molded body closed honeycomb cells occurs a significant increase in Restoring force in this area of the honeycomb body, so that the inner area of the damping or restoring forces producing honeycomb body is even softer than this Border area.

Aus der DE 36 29 264 A1 ist es bekannt, das tiefe Eintauchen der Ferse in eine Fersenkappe dadurch zu verringern, daß die von der Fersenkappe umschlossene Auftrittsfläche eine Druckverteilungsmembran aufweist.DE 36 29 264 A1 discloses deep immersion to reduce the heel into a heel counter by the tread area enclosed by the heel counter Has pressure distribution membrane.

Weiterhin ist es aus der DE 39 24 360 C2 bekannt, im Fersenbereich einer Laufsohle eine Vertiefung vorzusehen, in die ein Kupplungselement einsetzbar ist, in das von außen ein nach unten abstehendes Greifelement austauschbar eingeschraubt werden kann. Oberhalb des Kupplungselements ist ein elastisches Dämpfungsglied in Form eines Wabenkörpers vorgesehen. Dieses Dämpfungsglied ist nach oben durch eine relativ steife Deckplatte in seiner Lage fixiert. Durch das eingelegte Dämpfungsglied kann das Greifelement beim Auftreten mitsamt dem Kupplungselement in die Vertiefung eintauchen. Dadurch wird beim Auftreten eine Dämpfung erreicht, ohne daß die Ferse bezüglich der Fersenkappe bewegt wird. Jedoch wird die Dicke der Sohle relativ groß, da das Dämpfungsglied und das Kupplungselement übereinander angeordnet sind.Furthermore, it is known from DE 39 24 360 C2, in the heel area to provide a recess in the outsole in which a coupling element can be inserted into the outside Gripping element protruding downwards screwed in interchangeably can be. Above the coupling element is a elastic attenuator provided in the form of a honeycomb body. This attenuator is up through one relatively rigid cover plate fixed in its position. By the inserted damping member, the gripping element when Occur with the coupling element in the recess plunge. This causes a damping when it occurs reached without the heel relative to the heel counter is moved. However, the thickness of the sole becomes relatively large, because the attenuator and the coupling element one above the other are arranged.

Mit der vorliegenden Erfindung soll die Aufgabe gelöst werden, einen Dämpfungseinsatz der eingangs erwähnten Art so zu verbessern, daß er auch bei relativ dünnen Lauf- oder Schuhsohlen aus hartelastischem Material, wie sie beispielsweise bei Fußballschuhen anzutreffen sind, gute Dämpfungseigenschaften garantiert und ein guter Halt der Ferse gewährleistet ist.The object of the present invention is to be achieved be a damping insert of the type mentioned above to improve that he even with relatively thin barrel or Shoe soles made of hard elastic material, such as, for example are found in football shoes, good damping properties guaranteed and a good hold of the heel is guaranteed.

Gelöst wird diese Aufgabe durch die im Kennzeichen des Anspruchs 1 und des Anspruchs 30 angegebenen Merkmale.This task is solved by the in the license plate of the Claim 1 and claim 30 specified features.

Die vorliegende Erfindung gewährleistet, daß keine oder nur eine unbedeutende Relativbewegung zwischen der Ferse und der Fersenkappe auftritt, da die obere Abdeckplatte oder der Boden der Fersenschale nach unten durchfedern kann bzw. können. Die obere Abdeckplatte macht daher praktisch jeweils die gleiche Bewegung, wie die Fersenkappe mit, wodurch die Ferse im Schuh sicher gehalten ist.The present invention ensures that none or only an insignificant relative movement between the heel and the Heel counter occurs because the top cover plate or the Can spring down the bottom of the heel cup or can. The top cover plate therefore makes practically each the same movement as the heel counter with, causing the Heel is held securely in the shoe.

Durch geeignete Mittel, beispielsweise durch eine Klebeverbindung und/oder durch eine Ultraschallverbindung und/oder durch eine Schweißverbindung, werden die Stegkanten 8 und die Randkante 9 des Randes 6 mit dem Schalenboden 7 gasdicht verbunden. Hierdurch werden gasdichte Wabenzellen 11 gebildet.The honeycomb cell body 2 is on the shell bottom 7 from below of the heel cup 3, the web edges 8 of the Honeycomb webs 5 and the edge 9 of the peripheral edge 6 the bottom 10 of the shell bottom 7 abut. By suitable Means, for example by an adhesive connection and / or by an ultrasound connection and / or by a welded joint, the web edges 8 and Edge 9 of the edge 6 with the shell bottom 7 gas-tight connected. This makes gastight honeycomb cells 11 educated.

Die Fersenschale 3 kann aus einem Material bestehen, das die gleichen Eigenschaften besitzt, wie dasjenige des Wabenzellenkörpers 2. Bevorzugt ist jedoch deren Härte größer und bewegt sich etwa zwischen 60, vorzugsweise zwischen 65 und 90 Shore A. Für die Fersenschale 3 wird als Material bevorzugt thermoplastisches Polyurethan oder Polyamid verwendet.The heel cup 3 can be made of a material that the has the same properties as that of the Honeycomb cell body 2. However, their hardness is preferred larger and ranges between about 60, preferably between 65 and 90 Shore A.

Ohne vom Erfindungsgedanken abzuweichen, kann anstelle des Wabenzellenkörpers 2 ein gasdichter Wabenkörper vorgesehen sein. Dieser gasdichte Wabenkörper kann an der Unterseite 10 oder auf der Oberseite 7.1 des Schalenbodens 7 angebracht sein. Ferner kann der Wabenkörper aus einem Wabenzellenkörper 2 bestehen, auf dessen virtueller Oberseite 2.1 oder, falls die Wabenstege 5 und der Rand 6 nach unten weisen, dann entsprechend auf dessen Unterseite eine Abdeckplatte gasdicht aufgebracht ist. Auch kann der Wabenkörper oder der Wabenzellenkörper 2 auf der Oberseite 7.1 des Schalenbodens 7 angebracht sein. Der nicht mit einer Abdeckplatte versehene Wabenzellenkörper 2 wird dann mit den nach unten gerichteten Wabenstegen 5 und den Rand 6 auf der Oberseite 7.1 des Schalenbodens 7 gasdicht befestigt. Bei einem durch eine Abdeckplatte geschlossenem Wabenzellenkörper 2 kann die Abdeckplatte aus dem gleichen Material bestehen, wie der Wabenzellenkörper 2. Sie kann aber auch aus einem härteren und unelastischeren Material bestehen.Without deviating from the idea of the invention, instead of Honeycomb cell body 2 provided a gas-tight honeycomb body his. This gas-tight honeycomb body can be on the underside 10 or attached to the top 7.1 of the shell bottom 7 his. Furthermore, the honeycomb body can consist of a honeycomb cell body 2 exist, on its virtual top 2.1 or, if the honeycomb webs 5 and the edge 6 point downwards, then a cover plate on its underside is applied gastight.

Allgemein können wenigstens zwei der Bauteile Fersenschale 3, obere oder untere Abdeckplatte eines Wabenzellenkörpers 2 und/oder Wabenkörpers Zungen aufweisen, die aufeinanderliegen und fest, beispielsweise durch Kleben und/oder Ultraschall, miteinander verbunden sind.As already mentioned, tongues 12, 13 may be provided. Generally, at least two of the Components of heel cup 3, upper or lower cover plate a honeycomb cell body 2 and / or honeycomb body tongues have, which lie on top of each other and firmly, for example connected by gluing and / or ultrasound are.

Weiterhin kann es zweckmäßig sein, die untere Zunge jeweils schmäler auszubilden als die darüberliegende obere Zunge. Hierdurch kann beispielsweise die durch die schmälere Zunge frei bleibende seitliche Fläche 18 der oberen Zunge bzw. des Schalenbodens 7 zum Befestigen des entsprechenden Obermaterials eines Schuhes verwendet werden. It may also be appropriate to use the lower tongue in each case to be narrower than the upper tongue above. In this way, for example, the through the narrower tongue free lateral surface 18 of the upper tongue or the shell bottom 7 for attaching the corresponding upper material of a shoe can be used.

Beispielsweise kann bei dem in Fig. 3 von unten dargestellten Ausschnitt die Zunge aus der oberen Zunge 12 der Fersenschale 3 und der unteren Zunge 13 einer oberen Abdeckplatte eines Wabenzellenkörpers 2 oder des Wabenzellenkörpers 2 selbst zusammengesetzt sein. Diese Teile liegen übereinander und sind miteinander fest verbunden, insbesondere verklebt oder verschweißt.For example, in FIG. 3 from below Cutout shown the tongue from the upper tongue 12th the heel cup 3 and the lower tongue 13 of an upper one Cover plate of a honeycomb cell body 2 or the honeycomb cell body 2 be put together. These parts lie on top of each other and are firmly connected to each other, in particular glued or welded.

Vorzugsweise ist die untere Zunge 13 schmäler als die obere Zunge 12. Hierdurch wird beidseitig eine gestrichelt schraffiert dargestellte freie Fläche 18 gebildet, die zum Ankleben oder zur sonstigen Befestigung eines entsprechend zugeschnittenen Teils des Obermaterials des Schuhes dient.The lower tongue 13 is preferably narrower than the upper one Tongue 12. This is a dashed line on both sides Free area 18 shown hatched, which to Glue or for other fastening a correspondingly cut part of the upper of the shoe.

Eine Variante der Zungenausbildung zeigt die Fig. 4.
