Description

Die Erfindung betrifft federnde Absätze für Schuhe gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.The invention relates to resilient heels for shoes according to the preamble of claim 1.

Aus der EP 0 269 988 B ist ein federnder Absatz für Schuhe bekannt. Dieser besitzt einen Absatzkörper, der eine Haltebohrung aufweist, in der ein am Absatzfleck angeformter Haltebolzen geführt ist. Die Haltebohrung ist unter Ausbildung einer Stufe als Durchgangsbohrung ausgebildet und oben weiter als unten. Der Haltebolzen besitzt einen Schnappkopf, der mit geringem Seitenspiel in der Stufenbohrung geführt und gehalten ist. Eine zwischen Absatzkörper und Absatzfleck bestehende Fuge ist mit einer elastischen Zwischenlage ausgefüllt. Außerdem besitzt der Absatzkörper eine als Sackbohrung ausgebildete Führungsbohrung, in der ein ebenfalls am Absatzfleck angeformter Führungsbolzen ohne Kopf geführt ist.From EP 0 269 988 B 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. In addition, 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.

Ein weiterer federnder Absatz für Schuhe ist bekannt aus der DE 202 16 529 U. Bei dieser Konstruktion besitzt der Absatz Kanäle in Form von Sackbohrungen, die als Halte- und Führungskanal wirken. In die Halte- und Führungskanäle sind Hülsen eingesetzt. Am Lauffleck sind Haltebolzen mit Haltekopf angeformt. Außerdem sitzt auf dem Lauffleck eine Federschicht. Die Innenöffnung der Hülse ist weiter als der Querschnitt des Halte- und Führungsbolzens und enger als der Querschnitt des Haltekopfes.Another resilient heel for shoes is known from DE 202 16 529 U. In this construction, the paragraph has channels in the form of blind holes, which act as a holding and guide channel. Sleeves are inserted into the holding and guiding channels. On the tread retaining bolts are formed with holding head. In addition, sits on the running spot a feather layer. The inner opening of the sleeve is wider than the cross section of the holding and guiding pin and narrower than the cross section of the holding head.

Mit diesen federnden Absätzen ausgerüstete Schuhe haben hervorragende Trageeigenschaften. Der Auftritt ist gedämpft, wodurch Gelenke und Wirbelsäule des Schuhträgers deutlich entlastet sind. Der Absatz vermittelt ein sicheres und stabiles Gehgefühl.Shoes equipped with these elastic heels have excellent wearing properties. The appearance is muted, which joints and spine of the shoe wearer are significantly relieved. The heel gives a secure and stable feeling.

Gleichwohl hat sich herausgestellt, dass die Montage und Demontage des Absatzflecks im Absatzkörper sowohl während der Produktion als auch während einer Reparatur mit Schwierigkeiten behaftet sind. Des weiteren hat sich herausgestellt, dass die Halte-und Führungsbolzen aufgrund der ständigen Auf- und Abbewegung einem Verschleiß unterworfen sind. Außerdem konnte beobachtet werden, dass es aufgrund von Fertigungstoleranzen zu einer Schwergängigkeit der Halte- und Führungsbolzen in ihren Bohrungen kommen kann, wodurch der Gehkomfort gestört ist.However, it has been found that the assembly and disassembly of the heel spot in the heel body is fraught with difficulties both during production and during repair. Furthermore, it has been found that the retaining and guide pins are subject to wear due to the constant up and down movement. In addition, it has been observed that, due to manufacturing tolerances, the retaining and guide bolts may become stiff in their boreholes, which disturbs walking comfort.

Der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt daher die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen federnden Absatz der eingangs genannten Art anzugeben, der die geschilderten Probleme vermeidet.The present invention is therefore an object of the invention to provide a resilient paragraph of the type mentioned, which avoids the problems described.

Diese Aufgabe wird gelöst durch einen federnden Absatz mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1.This object is achieved by a resilient shoulder with the features of claim 1.

Dank der erfindungsgemäßen Fleckkonstruktion sitzen die Haltebolzen unbeweglich in den Bohrungen des Absatzkörpers. Der Zentrierstift des Laufflecks bewegt sich nur noch gegenüber dem Haltefleck. Aufgrund der Herstellung des erfindungsgemäßen federnden Absatzflecks und aufgrund der festen Verbindung von Lauffleck und Haltefleck durch die Feder- und Dämpfungsschicht gibt es hier keine Toleranzprobleme.Thanks to the stain construction according to the invention, the retaining bolts sit immovably in the holes of the heel body. The centering pin of the tread moves only with respect to the holding spot. Due to the production of the elastic heel spot according to the invention and due to the firm connection of the running spot and the retaining spot through the spring and damping layer, there are no tolerance problems here.

Des weiteren ist das Handling erheblich vereinfacht, und zwar sowohl bei der Montage als auch bei einer eventuellen Demontage.Furthermore, the handling is considerably simplified, both during assembly and in case of disassembly.

Vorteilhafterweise bestehen Lauffleck und Haltefleck aus einem stabilen Material, vorzugsweise aus demselben Material.Advantageously, the running spot and holding spot consist of a stable material, preferably of the same material.

Die Feder- und Dämpfungsschicht dagegen besteht vorteilhafterweise aus einem geschäumten Kunststoffmaterial.The spring and damping layer, however, advantageously consists of a foamed plastic material.

Vorzugsweise ist die Feder- und Dämpfungsschicht an Lauf- und Haltefleck angespritzt bzw. angeschäumt.Preferably, the spring and damping layer is sprayed or foamed on running and holding spot.

Da wie erwähnt der Absatzkörper keine Führungsfunktion mehr hat, kann er mit einem großen zentralen Hohlraum ausgeführt werden. Dadurch wird der Absatzkörper leicht und kostengünstig.Since, as mentioned, the heel body no longer has a guiding function, it can be designed with a large central cavity. This makes the heel body easy and inexpensive.

Vorzugsweise ist der Zentrierstift polygonal. Dadurch wird eine Rotationsbewegung des Laufflecks relativ zum Haltefleck verhindert.Preferably, the centering pin is polygonal. As a result, a rotational movement of the tread is prevented relative to the holding spot.

Falls es nötig ist, die Feder- und Dämpfungsschicht zu entlasten, beispielsweise bei Schuhen für Übergewichtige, kann der Zentrierstift sich gegen eine Zusatzfeder abstützen, die im Absatzkörper untergebracht ist.If it is necessary to relieve the spring and damping layer, for example in shoes for overweight, the centering pin can be supported against an additional spring, which is housed in the paragraph body.

Anhand der Zeichnung soll die Erfindung in Form eines Ausführungsbeispiels näher erläutert werden.Reference to the drawing, the invention will be explained in more detail in the form of an embodiment.

Die Figur zeigt rein schematisch einen Schnitt durch einen Absatzkörper 1 und einen dazu passenden Lauffleck 10. Der Absatzkörper 1 besitzt eine große zentrale Aussparung 3. In seiner Unterseite sind Haltebohrungen 2 als Sackbohrung vorgesehen. Im Fersenbereich ist eine Halteschraube 4 angedeutet.The figure shows purely schematically a section through a heel body 1 and a matching tread 10. The heel body 1 has a large central recess 3. In its bottom retaining holes 2 are provided as a blind hole. In the heel area, a retaining screw 4 is indicated.

Der Absatzfleck besteht aus drei Schichten. Unterste Schicht ist der Lauffleck 10, an dessen Oberseite in diesem Ausführungsbeispiel ein einziger Zentrierstift 11 mit quadratischem bis rechteckigem Querschnitt vorgesehen ist. Auf der Oberseite des Laufflecks 10 befindet sich eine Feder- und Dämpfungsschicht 14 aus einem geschäumten Kunststoffmaterial. Über der Feder- und Dämpfungsschicht 14 befindet sich ein Haltefleck 12, der zu den Halteöffnungen 2 im Absatzkörper 1 passende Haltebolzen 13 trägt.The heel patch consists of three layers. The lowest layer is the tread 10, on the upper side in this embodiment, a single centering pin 11 is provided with a square to rectangular cross-section. On the top of the tread 10 is a spring and damping layer 14 made of a foamed plastic material. Above the spring and damping layer 14 is a holding patch 12, which carries matching retaining bolts 13 to the holding openings 2 in the heel body 1.

Dank einer mit dem Zentrierstift 11 korrespondierenden Öffnung kann der Haltefleck 12 gegenüber dem Lauffleck 10 sich federnd bewegen. Dabei verhindert die polygonale Querschnittsform des Zentrierstiftes 11 und der korrespondierenden Öffnung im Haltefleck 12, dass sich der Lauffleck 10 gegenüber dem Haltefleck 12 und damit gegenüber dem Absatzkörper 1 nicht verdrehen kann. Die Auf- und Abbewegungen des Laufflecks 10 gegenüber dem Absatzkörper 1 sind nicht behindert.Thanks to an opening corresponding to the centering pin 11, the holding spot 12 can move resiliently relative to the running spot 10. The polygonal cross-sectional shape of the centering pin 11 and the corresponding opening in the holding spot 12 prevents the running spot 10 from being able to rotate with respect to the holding spot 12 and thus with respect to the heel body 1. The up and down movements of the tread 10 with respect to the heel body 1 are not hindered.
