Definitions

  • the invention relates to a waterproof footwear with an outer shaft, a waterproof, water vapor permeable functional layer and a lining directed towards the inside of the footwear inner shaft, an insole and an outsole, wherein the inner shaft has a lower end portion that projects beyond the lower end of the outer shaft at least predominantly , and on the one hand with the outer shaft and on the other hand with the insole is connected.
  • Such a footwear has become known from EP 0 544 270 A1.
  • the inner shaft is there on the one hand connected to the outer shaft by means of adhesive and on the other hand with the insole, whereby the outer shaft is connected via the lower end portion of the inner shaft with the insole.
  • the Outer shaft connected to the insole over the molded sole material with the insole, wherein the sole material between the outer shaft and the insole adheres to the inner shaft.
  • Object of the present invention is therefore to provide a footwear of the type mentioned, in which the above problems are at least reduced.
  • the stability of the end region of the inner shaft is further increased if the regions of the functional layer arranged opposite one another in the end region are glued together in a watertight manner.
  • the bonding is carried out in the simplest case by conventional adhesive, such as polyurethane adhesive.
  • adhesives which can be activated by heat. This has the advantage that in the manufacture of the connection between the interior and Outer shaft, the inwardly facing part of the end portion of the inner shaft can be kept at a distance and the bonding of the end region opposite arranged areas at a later date by heat can be performed. It has proven to be particularly favorable to insert tapes which are known per se, which are coated with a heat-activatable adhesive, between the opposite regions arranged in the end region and to activate the adhesive after being mounted on the strips.
  • the lining is removed in the outwardly folded end region of the inner shaft. This can be done, for example, by skiving, that is, the food is removed in this area by scraping with a sharp knife.
  • the sole material in the case of a molded sole during injection, can freely penetrate to the functional layer and thus bond with this entire surface, so that no more water can penetrate to the inside of the footwear.
  • the adhesive with which the outsole is glued also connect flat with the functional layer, so that here, too, creates a waterproof connection.
  • adhesives polyurethane adhesives have proven their worth.
  • the footwear according to the invention is particularly characterized in that the footwear further comprises a porous band with two longitudinal sides, which is arranged along the lower edge of the inner sheep and is connected with one longitudinal side with the lower edge of the inner shaft and with the other longitudinal side with the insole.
  • the porosity of the band should be set so that the still liquid outsole plastic during injection molding or the adhesive when sticking outsoles, the band, without experiencing much resistance, can penetrate.
  • this results in addition to the advantage that the outsole material can penetrate into the interior of the footwear, so that, if the sole material is electrically conductive, any static Charges of the wearer of the footwear according to the invention can be removed via the outsole. That the sole material is made conductive, is guaranteed in most sole materials, because they are mixed to achieve a uniform coloration usually with soot particles.
  • the porous band is connected to the lower edge of the inner shaft and or with the insole by means of a seam.
  • this monofilament material has proven very good.
  • Particularly suitable for this purpose is a porous band, which is designed as a network.
  • a further embodiment of the footwear according to the invention is characterized in that the lower edge of the inner shaft is connected by means of a seam with the insole.
  • the cost aspect is taken into account.
  • loosely form the seam that is, that the seam is made so that the threads forming the seam one between the lower edge of the inner shaft and bridge the insole. This not only leads to a good sealing of the seams but also allows the sole material in turn to penetrate to the inside, so that even static charge can be dissipated effectively.
  • the footwear according to the invention can be characterized in that the insole has at least in the edge region openings, so that the sole material during injection or the adhesive can penetrate through the openings of the insole up to the seam when sticking to the sole and can enclose it. This succeeds excellently when the insole is formed porous at least in the edge region, and in particular then. if the insole has at least in the edge region of a network structure.
  • the footwear according to the invention is characterized in particular by the fact that it further comprises a porous band with two longitudinal sides, which is arranged along the free end of the outwardly folded inner shaft, connected thereto via a longitudinal side and connected via the other longitudinal side with the outer shaft. It has been found to be particularly advantageous if the porous tape is sewn to the free end of the outwardly folded inner shaft and / or to the outer shaft. It is also favorable if the porous band is a net.
  • the footwear according to the invention is suitable for virtually any kind of outsole.
  • outsoles For glued-on outsoles, care must be taken that the adhesive for the outsole has a good bond with the outwardly turned-over end portion of the inner shaft and also encloses the existing seams.
  • prefabricated plastic material outsoles in which these outsoles are glued.
  • This type of soles can also be provided with a peripheral edge, to which the upper material can be sewn, whereby the shoe according to the invention the Obtains appearance of a double-stitched footwear.
  • the footwear according to the invention is characterized in particular by the fact that the outsole is injection-molded.
  • the footwear according to the invention has an outer shaft 1, an inner shaft, which consists of at least a watertight, water vapor permeable functional layer 2a, 2b and a lining 2, an insole 4 and an outsole 6.
  • the end region of the inner shaft projecting beyond the outer shaft 1 is folded outwards in such a way that the functional layer is arranged opposite in the entire end region and has a lower edge formed by folding. In the end region of the inner shaft, this no longer has any lining up to the inside, so that in this region the functional layer 2a is opposite the outsole and is therefore connected to it in a planar manner.
  • the inner shaft can furthermore have a further textile layer (not shown for reasons of clarity) which is arranged, usually laminated, on the side of the functional layer 2 a facing the outer shaft, which serves to stabilize the functional layer.
  • This layer may also be present in the end region of the inner shaft projecting beyond the outer shaft, this layer then lying between the oppositely arranged regions of the functional layer.
  • the inner shaft between the functional layer 2a and the lining 2 may have a further layer, not shown in the figures, which is designed to be elastically compressible in order to provide the wearer of the footwear according to the invention with high comfort. For this layer, water vapor permeable foam layers have proven very good.
  • the free end of the outwardly folded inner shaft 2b is shown in the figures so that it abuts flush with the lower end of the outer shaft 1. But it is also possible, this free end with the end of the outer shaft to arrange overlapping from the outside or from the inside, which is particularly recommended if it is to be connected to the outer shaft via an adhesive. But it can also, as in the illustrated flush arrangement with a seam 3 are connected.
  • outsoles 6 both outsoles produced by injection molding of the still liquid outsole material as well as prefabricated outsoles, which are subsequently bonded to the footwear according to the invention, can be used. If prefabricated outsoles are used, they are glued to the functional layer waterproof at least in the area in which the outsole of the functional layer opposite. However, it is advisable to glue this prefabricated outsole also with the insole 4.
  • the lower edge of the inner shaft 2, 2b formed by folding is connected to the insole 4 by means of a seam 5, which seam 5 is preferably formed from a monofilament. Due to the intimate connection of the molded sole material with the functional layer on the one hand and the insole on the other hand, the seam 5 is included waterproof from the outside, so that no water can penetrate into the interior of the footwear. This also applies to the seam 3, which connects the free end of the outwardly folded inner shaft 2b with the outer shaft, and which is sealed by the intimate connection of the sole material with the functional layer on the one hand and with the outer shaft on the other. If a prefabricated sole is used in the embodiment shown in FIG.
  • FIG. 2 shows a cross-section through a footwear according to the invention with a low construction height, in which the area of the inner shaft projecting beyond the outer shaft is folded inwards towards the insole and oriented parallel to the outsole.
  • a porous insole 4a is used, in which due to their porosity, the outsole or the adhesive material can penetrate this well and insofar the seam 5 can seal very well.
  • a porous insole in particular such has proven to be particularly suitable, which is formed net-like, it being particularly advantageous if the such a net-like structure forming threads are monofilaments.
  • the insole can also be made porous only in the edge region, as shown in FIG.
  • the insole 4c is provided with an edge region 4b.
  • This edge region 4b can also be produced in such a way that a circulating porous band, which is connected to the insole 4c, preferably sewn, is used for this edge region.
  • FIG. 3 a cross-section through a low-height footwear according to the invention is shown, in which, as a modification of the embodiment shown in FIG. 1, the region of the inner shaft projecting beyond the outer shaft is folded inwards towards the insole 4 and aligned parallel to the outsole 6.
  • the insole 4 is sealed by the layer 7 down.
  • the outsole 6 is a prefabricated outsole and, at least in the areas in which the seams 5 and 3 are arranged, is connected in a watertight manner to the outer shaft 1, the region of the inner shaft projecting beyond the outer shaft 1 and to the insole.
  • FIG. 4 is a cross-section through a footwear according to the invention shown with a low height, in which, in a modification of the embodiment shown in Figure 3, a prefabricated outsole 6a is placed on has internal grooves, making this outsole shock absorbing.
  • a prefabricated outsole 6a is placed on has internal grooves, making this outsole shock absorbing.
  • the connection between the free end of the outwardly folded inner shaft takes place via a porous band 8, which is connected to the inner shaft via the seam 3a and to the outer shaft via the seam 3.
  • This porous band 8 is preferably formed like a net, and more preferably made of monofilaments.
