Definitions

  • the invention relates to resilient heels for shoes according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • a resilient heel for shoes is known.
  • This has a paragraph body, which has a retaining hole in which an integrally formed at the shoulder stain retaining bolt is guided.
  • the retaining hole is formed to form a step as a through hole and above as below.
  • the retaining bolt has a snap head, which is guided and held with little side clearance in the stepped bore.
  • An existing between paragraph body and heel spot joint is filled with an elastic intermediate layer.
  • the paragraph body has a trained as a blind bore guide bore in which an integrally formed also at the shoulder stain guide pin is guided without a head.
  • the present invention is therefore an object of the invention to provide a resilient heel for shoes, a considerably simplified assembly and disassembly of the Paragraph spot on or from the paragraph body allows without the excellent wearing properties suffer.
  • the channels now only have to be designed as blind holes the result is a stable heel body, which, above all, has enough space for the fastening screws or nails with which the heel is fastened under the shoe. Furthermore, the assembly and disassembly of paragraph heel on or from the heel body is facilitated because the attachment is made by sleeves that can be pushed into the blind hole and pulled out in the same way again.
  • the holding and guide channel is below the formation of a step below than above.
  • the sleeve sits in the widened part of the channel and rests against the step. In this way, it is ensured that the sleeve always assumes a defined position and the full travel is maintained.
  • the holding and guide channel is cylindrical.
  • the inner opening of the sleeve is to form a step above Next and down narrower than the holding head. Again, the sleeve always has a defined position, so that the full travel is maintained.
  • the inner opening of the sleeve is flared upwards. It has been found that this increases the mobility of the guide pin, its wear is reduced.
  • the sleeve sits clamped in the holding and guide channel.
  • the clamping does not have to develop high forces, since during use of the shoe virtually no tensile forces act on heel and sleeve.
  • sleeve is fixed in the channel by means of a securing element, for example a screw or a pin.
  • the sleeve is composed of two halves. This facilitates the mounting on the holding and guide pin.
  • the holding head with the holding and guide pin is subsequently connected. This allows the use of one-piece sleeves.
  • the holding and guide pin itself can be subsequently connected to the tread.
  • the holding and guide pins and the associated sleeve have a circular cross-section.
  • the cross sections deviate from the circular shape and are, for example, polygonal.
  • Such a configuration is particularly recommended if the heel stain can be attached to the heel body with only one retaining and guide pin, z. B. in the so-called Pfennig paragraph.
  • the running spot and spring layer are at least partially connected flat. This measure serves to improve the feeling of walking.
  • the tread is made of polyurethane. This material has proven itself in the footwear industry because of its slip resistance and durability.
  • the spring layer of polyurethane wherein the Shore hardness is adjusted accordingly soft. If the spring layer is also made of polyurethane, it combines particularly easily with the surface of the runway.
  • Alternative materials for the spring layer are EVA, TR, PVC or leather.
  • Fig. 1 as a section and Fig. 2 as a plan view of the underside show a paragraph mark, which is suitable for the production of shoes with resilient heels.
  • a running mark 10 for example made of polyurethane, on which in the exemplary embodiment three holding and guide pins 11 are formed with head 12.
  • a spring layer 13 On the inside of the tread 10 is a spring layer 13, which preferably also consists of polyurethane correspondingly reduced hardness and is preferably connected over the entire surface with the tread 10.
  • a sleeve 20 is attached to the holding and guide pins.
  • the inner opening of the sleeve 20 is ideally conical. As a result, the bolt 11 in the sleeve 20 can move easily.
  • Fig. 3 shows a section along the line III-III in Fig. 2 the heel patch of Fig. 1 and 2, mounted on a heel body 1.
  • the heel body 1 has holding and guide channels 2, the formation of a step above narrower and below are further.
  • the sleeves 20 are inserted supporting themselves against the step. As a result, the sleeves 20 sit defined in their channel 2; so that the spring travel defined by the spring layer 13 is fully maintained.
  • Fig. 4 shows an alternative embodiment in the form of a section along the line I-I in Fig. 2 by the paragraph mark of Fig. 2, mounted under an alternative paragraph body 1 '.
  • the paragraph body 1 ' also has guide channels 2', which are, however, designed as a pure cylinder bore.
  • the sleeve 20 ' is extended upward in this embodiment, so that it again assumes a defined position, which guarantees the full travel.
  • the inner opening of the sleeve 20 ' is above at forming a step above as below and the holding head 12 of the holding and guide pin 11 lays from above against the step.
  • FIG. 4 shows that with the aid of additional securing elements 3, for example a securing pin or a securing screw, the sleeves 20, 20 'can additionally be secured.
  • additional securing elements for example a securing pin or a securing screw
  • FIGS. 3 and 4 further show that due to the design of the guide channels as a blind bore, a very stable heel body results, which offers enough space for fastening screws 4.
