Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Polyurethan (PU)-Schaum-Einlegesohle mit den Merkmalen des Patentanspruchs 1 und ein Verfahren zur Herstellung dieser Einlegesohle gemäß Anspruch 11.The invention relates to a polyurethane (PU) foam insole with the Features of claim 1 and a method for producing these Insole according to claim 11.

In vielen Fällen werden Einlegesohlen mit stoßdämpfenden Eigenschaften verlangt, welche den Fuß und die Gelenke beim Gehen und Laufen schonen, und so ausgebildet sind, dass die biomechanischen und physikalischen Gesetzmäßigkeiten beim Gang oder Lauf unterstützt werden. Hierbei werden vielfach mit Polyurethan ausgeschäumte Sohlen eingesetzt, bspw. in Form von PU-Schaumrohlingen, die entsprechend weiterverarbeitet werden können. Üblicherweise besteht ein fertiges gepolstertes Fußbett aus einem harten Grundkörper, der sohlenseitig angeordnet ist und dem fußseitig ein geeignet geformter Polsterkörper aus einem im Vergleich zum Grundkörper weicheren und elastischeren Material aufgesetzt oder aufgeschäumt ist. Einlagen dieser Art sind bspw. in der DE 35 27 583 C2 und in der DE 43 20 386 A1 beschrieben.In many cases, insoles with shock-absorbing properties which protects the foot and the joints when walking and running, and are designed to be biomechanical and physical Regularities in the course or run are supported. Here are often used with polyurethane foamed soles, for example. In the form of PU foam blanks that can be further processed accordingly. Usually, a finished upholstered footbed is made of a hard Basic body, which is arranged on the sole side and the foot side a suitable molded cushion body made of a softer compared to the main body and elastic material is placed or foamed. Deposits of this Type are, for example, in DE 35 27 583 C2 and in DE 43 20 386 A1 described.

Aus der EP 0 434 076 B1 ist eine Einlage bekannt, die aus einem harten, federnden Platterunaterial mit quer zur Sohlenlängsrichtung verlaufender Profilierung besteht und bspw. in einer Schuhsohle eingeschäumt ist. Weiterhin beschreibt die DE 295 04 890 U1 eine Einlegesohle, die aus mehreren Schichten besteht, von denen die unterste aus Polyurethan bzw. einer Mischung aus Kork und PU-Schaum besteht. From EP 0 434 076 B1 an insert is known which consists of a hard, resilient Platterunaterial with transverse to the sole longitudinal direction Profiling exists and, for example, is foamed in a shoe sole. Furthermore, DE 295 04 890 U1 describes an insole, the consists of several layers, the lowest of which is polyurethane or a mixture of cork and PU foam.

Probleme beim maschinellen Ausschäumen einer Form mit PU ergeben sich durch ungleichmäßige Ausformung, wenn bspw. ein Grundkörper vollständig ummantelt werden soll, sowie dadurch, dass sich PU-Schaum mit vielen anderen Kunststoffen nicht ohne weiteres verbindet, sofern nicht besondere zusätzliche Maßnahmen getroffen werden.Problems with mechanical foaming of a mold with PU arise by uneven shaping, if, for example, a main body completely should be sheathed, as well as the fact that PU foam with many other plastics does not readily associate, unless special additional measures are taken.

Die PU-Schaum-Einlegesohle nach der vorliegenden Erfindung umfasst ein hartes Kernteil, das als Formteil ausgebildet ist und aus thermoplastischem Polyurethan (TPU) besteht. Das Kernteil ist vergleichsweise har und wirkt stabilisierend; es ist allseitig mit PU-Schaum ummantelt. Hierbei wurde gefunden, dass TPU einerseits in der nötigen Härte erhältlich ist, damit das Kernteil eine ausreichend stützende und stabilisierende Wirkung entfalten kann, und dass TPU sich andererseits mit dem PU-Schaum ohne weitere Vorarbeit fest verbindet.The PU foam insole according to the present invention comprises a hard core part, which is formed as a molded part and made of thermoplastic Polyurethane (TPU) exists. The core part is comparatively har and acts stabilizing; It is coated on all sides with PU foam. This was found that TPU is available on the one hand in the necessary hardness, so that the Core part develop a sufficient supportive and stabilizing effect can, and that TPU, on the other hand, with the PU foam without further Preliminary work firmly connects.

Vorzugsweise ist das Kernteil ein im Spritzgussverfahren hergestelltes Formteil und erstreckt sich in der fertigen Einlegesohle vom Mittelfußbereich bis zum Fersenbereich. Es läßt sich so in geeigneter Weise formen, um als Stütze bspw. für Spreizfüße zu dienen und stabilisiert andererseits den weichen und flexiblen PU-Schaum.Preferably, the core part is an injection-molded Molded part and extends in the finished insole of the midfoot area to the heel area. It can thus be shaped in a suitable manner to be as For example, support for spreading feet to serve and stabilizes the other hand soft and flexible PU foam.

Das Kernteil weist nach der Erfindung mindestens eine Durchgangsöffnung auf, vorzugsweise in Form durchgehender Bohrungen mit ca. 5 mm bis 10 mm Durchmesser. Sie erlauben dem PU-Material beim Ausschäumen einen ausreichend freien Durchtritt, so dass sich die Form vollständig füllt und das Kernteil allseitig ummantelt wird. Andererseits lassen sich damit auch Härte und Elastizität des Kernteils in gewissem Umfang festlegen. Letztlich trägt das sich durch die Bohrungen 4 erstreckende PU-Material nach dem Aushärten auch dazu bei, dass sich Kernteil und Umhüllung dauerhaft miteinander verbinden. The core part according to the invention has at least one passage opening on, preferably in the form of through holes with about 5 mm to 10 mm Diameter. They allow the PU material during foaming one sufficiently free passage so that the mold fills completely and the Core part is coated on all sides. On the other hand, it can also hardness and elasticity of the core part to some extent. Ultimately, that carries extending through the holes 4 PU material after curing also contribute to the fact that core and wrapping permanently together connect.

In weiterer Ausgestaltung der Erfindung weist das Kernteil im Fersenbereich eine Aussparung auf, die vorzugsweise oval gestaltet ist und in den Hauptachsen Abmessungen von ca. 10 mm bis 40 mm mal 30 bis 70 mm, insbesondere 30 mm mal 50 mm besitzt. Dies bedeutet, dass die Einlegesohle in der Fersenmitte keine Versteifung aufweist und dort nur aus stoßdämpfenden mehrere mm dicken PU-Schaum besteht.In a further embodiment of the invention, the core part in the heel area a recess, which is preferably designed oval and in the Main axes dimensions of about 10 mm to 40 mm by 30 to 70 mm, especially 30 mm by 50 mm. This means that the insole in the heel center has no stiffening and there only shock-absorbing several mm thick PU foam consists.

Erfindungsgemäß weist das Kernteil Mittel auf, mit denen es in einer Form festlegbar und fixierbar ist. Diese Fixiermittel sind vorzugsweise Bohrungen zur Aufnahme von Stützstiften, wobei eine der Bohrungen als Teil einer Rastverbindung ausgebildet ist. Solche Maßnahmen sind einerseits im Zuge des Herstellungsprozesses notwendig, bilden aber andererseits ein körperliches Merkmal, das ohne weiteres an der fertigen Einlegesohle identifizierbar ist.According to the invention, the core part has means with which it in a mold can be fixed and fixed. These fixing means are preferably bores for receiving support pins, wherein one of the holes as part of a Locking connection is formed. Such measures are on the one hand in the course necessary for the manufacturing process, but on the other hand constitute a physical Feature that is readily identifiable on the finished insole.

Nach dem erfindungsgemäßen Herstellverfahren wird zunächst das Kernteil aus thermoplastischem Polyurethan (TPU) hergestellt. Dieses wird in eine Ausschäumform eingelegt und dabei am vorbestimmten Ort und in der vorbestimmten Lage fixiert, indem es von mindestens einem Stützstift aufgenommen wird. Anschließend wird das Kernteil allseitig umschäumt, d.h. das Kernteil wird in der Form allseitig mit PU-Schaum ummantelt.After the production process according to the invention, first the core part made of thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU). This will be in one Inserted foam mold while doing the predetermined place and in the fixed by predetermined position by at least one support pin is recorded. Subsequently, the core part is foamed on all sides, i. The core part is encased in the mold on all sides with PU foam.

Vorzugsweise erfolgt die Fixierung in der Weise, dass das Kernteil 3 Bohrungen aufweist und von 3 Stützstiften aufgenommen wird. Je nach Größe und Form des Kernteils können auch mehr als 3 Stützstifte vorgesehen sein, die von entsprechenden Bohrungen des Kernteils aufgenommen werden. Mindestens einer der Stützstifte ist dabei so ausgebildet, dass er im Kernteil wiederlösbar einrastet, vorzugsweise dadurch dass einen verdickten Kopf aufweist, der nach Art eines Druckknopfes im Kernteil einrastet. Mit diesen Maßnahmen gelingt es, das Kernteil im Herstellungsverfahren so zu stabilisieren, dass es während des Ausschäumens nicht aufschwimmen oder unkontrolliert verlagern kann. The fixation is preferably carried out in such a way that the core part 3 Has holes and is received by 3 support pins. Depending on size and shape of the core part can also be provided more than 3 support pins, which are received by corresponding holes in the core part. At least one of the support pins is designed so that it in the core part releasably engages, preferably by having a thickened head has, which engages in the manner of a push button in the core part. With these Measures succeed, the core part in the manufacturing process so too stabilize that it does not float during foaming or can shift uncontrollably.

In weiterer Ausgestaltung des erfmdungsgemäßen Verfahrens ist das Kernteil so ausgebildet, dass es beim Ausschäumen der Form über Durchtrittsöffnungen den Durchtritt der PU-Masse gestattet. So ist es in einfacher Weise möglich, eine vollständige Ummantelung des Kernteils zu erreichen ohne dass Fehlstellen durch Lunker oder mangelhaft ausgeformte Partien in der Einlegesohle verbleiben.In a further embodiment of the inventive method is the core part designed so that when foaming the mold over Through openings allowed the passage of the PU mass. So it is in easy way possible, a complete sheathing of the core part too reach without any defects due to voids or poorly formed Games in the insole remain.
