Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zur Herstellung von wasserdichten Nähten bei Schuhen, welche einen Außenschaft mit einem unteren Ende, einen Futterschaft mit einem unteren Ende, eine Brandsohle mit einer umlaufenden Kante und eine Sohle aufweisen, wobei das untere Ende des Außenschaftes, das untere Ende des Innenschaftes und die Außenkante der Brandsohle miteinander vernäht werden.The invention relates to a method for the production of waterproof seams in shoes, comprising an outer shaft with a lower end, a lower end of a feed, an insole with a peripheral edge and a sole, wherein the lower end of the outer shaft, the lower end of the Inner shaft and the outer edge of the insole are sewn together.

Ein derartiges Verfahren ist beispielsweise aus EP 0 916 275 bekannt. Dort weist der Innenschaft eine wasserdichte Verlängerung auf, über welche die Verbindung mit dem Ende des Futterschaftes und der Außenkante der Brandsohle erfolgt. Diese Art der Abdichtung ist sehr aufwendig.Such a method is for example off EP 0 916 275 known. There, the inner shaft on a waterproof extension, via which the connection is made with the end of the feed shaft and the outer edge of the insole. This type of sealing is very expensive.

Insofern ist es Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung, die Herstellung von wasserdichten Nähten bei der Herstellung von Schuhen weiter zu vereinfachen.In this respect, it is an object of the present invention to further simplify the production of waterproof seams in the manufacture of shoes.

Die erfindungsgemäße Aufgabe wird bei einem Verfahren gemäß Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1 dadurch gelöst, dass ein Band ausgewählt wird, welches beidseitig mit einer bei Raumtemperatur klebrigen Schicht versehen ist, dass das Band zwischen die zu verbindenden Teile im Bereich der vorgesehenen Naht gelegt wird und dass mit diesem Band das untere Ende des Außenschaftes mit dem unteren Ende des Innenschaftes verbunden und fixiert wird, bevor Außenschaft, Innenschaft und Brandsohle miteinander vernäht werden.The object of the invention is achieved in a method according to the preamble of claim 1, characterized in that a band is selected, which is provided on both sides with a sticky at room temperature layer, that the band between the parts to be joined is placed in the region of the intended seam and that with This band, the lower end of the outer shaft is connected to the lower end of the inner shaft and fixed before the outer shaft, inner shaft and insole are sewn together.

In einfachen Fällen, insbesondere wenn das verwendete Band aus elastischem Material besteht, ist eine nachfolgende Hitzebehandlung zum Schmelzen des Bandes gar nicht erforderlich, weil sich das Band sehr eng um das Nahtmaterial legt und somit bereits eine dichte Naht erreicht wird. Dies gilt insbesondere dann, wenn als Nahtmaterial ein Monofilamentfaden eingesetzt wird.In simple cases, especially if the band used is made of elastic material, a subsequent heat treatment for melting the band is not necessary because the band lays very tightly around the suture and thus already a dense seam is achieved. This applies in particular if a monofilament thread is used as the suture.

Die Verwendung von schmelzbaren Bändern zur Abdichtung von Nähten ist aus der EP 0 327 291 bereits bekannt.The use of fusible tapes for sealing seams is known from EP 0 327 291 already known.

Dadurch dass ein Band ausgewählt wird, welches beidseitig mit einer bei Raumtemperatur klebrigen Schicht versehen ist, können die miteinander zu verbindenden Schuhteile in sehr einfacher Weise aufeinander fixiert werden, wobei es aber nicht mehr erforderlich ist, nach Erzeugung der Naht die Fixierung zu entfernen.Characterized in that a band is selected, which is provided on both sides with a sticky at room temperature layer, the shoe parts to be joined together can be fixed to each other in a very simple manner, but it is no longer necessary to remove after fixing the seam fixation.

Bevorzugt wird ein Band ausgewählt, welches aus einem bei Hitze schmelzendem Material besteht. Nach dem Vernähen des Außenschaftes, des Futterschaftes und der Brandsohle, wird auf die Naht Hitze aufgebracht, wonach das Band schmilzt und die von der Naht erzeugten Öffnungen abdichtet. Dies kann beispielsweise dadurch erreicht werden, dass die Nähte nach ihrer Herstellung bei einer zum Schmelzen des Bandes geeigneten Temperatur gebügelt werden.Preferably, a band is selected which consists of a heat-melting material. After sewing on the outer shaft, lining and insole, heat is applied to the seam, after which the band melts and seals the openings created by the seam. This can be achieved, for example, by ironing the seams after their production at a temperature suitable for melting the strip.

Dies gelingt in besonders einfacher Weise bei Schuhen mit angespritzter Sohle, weil in der Regel die Hitze der Schmelze, die nach dem Anspritzen das Sohlenmaterial bildet, ausreicht, um das zwischen Außenschaft und Futterschaft angeordnete und mit eingenähte Band zum Schmelzen zu bringen, wodurch die durch die Naht entstandenen Öffnungen abgedichtet werden.This is possible in a particularly simple manner in shoes with molded soles, because usually the heat of the melt, which forms the sole material after injection molding, sufficient to bring the arranged between the outer shank and feed shank and with sewn tape to melt, whereby the by the seam resulting openings are sealed.

Auch kann bei dem erfindungsgemäßen Verfahren die Hitze über Hochfrequenz erzeugt werden. Auf diese Weise ist es möglich, sehr gezielt die Stellen des Bandes zum Schmelzen zu bringen, die zur Abdichtung der durch die Naht entstandenen Öffnungen notwendig sind.Also, in the method according to the invention, the heat can be generated via high frequency. In this way it is possible to very selectively the places of To melt tape that are necessary to seal the resulting through the seam openings.

Das erfindungsgemäße Verfahren gelingt vorzüglich bei Schuhen, die zwischen Außenschaft und Futter eine wasserdichte, wasserdampfdurchlässige Funktionsschicht aufweisen, die in der Regel mit dem Futter ein Laminat bildet. In diesem Falle wird bei dem erfindungemäßen Verfahren das Band zwischen die Außenschicht und die Funktionsschicht eingebracht, wodurch der die Funktionsschicht enthaltende Futterschaft mit dem Außenschaft bereits vor dem Vernähen fixiert ist.The inventive method is particularly successful in shoes that have between outer shaft and lining a waterproof, water vapor permeable functional layer, which usually forms a laminate with the lining. In this case, in the method according to the invention, the band is introduced between the outer layer and the functional layer, as a result of which the feed shaft containing the functional layer is already fixed to the outer shaft prior to the sewing.

Claims (3)

  1. Method for producing waterproof seams in shoes having an exterior upper with a lower end, an interior upper with a lower end, an insole with a circumferential edge, and a sole, the lower end of the exterior upper, the lower end of the interior upper, and the outer edge of the insole being sewn together, characterized in that a tape is selected that is provided on both sides with a layer that is adhesive at room temperature, that the tape is laid between the parts to be joined in the vicinity of the intended seam, and that this tape is used to join and fix the lower end of the exterior upper to the lower end of the interior upper before the exterior upper, interior upper, and insole are sewn together.
  2. Method according to Claim 1, characterized in that a tape is selected that consists of a material that melts on application of heat and that, after sewing, the tape is melted, at least in the vicinity of the seam, resulting in sealing of the openings produced by the seam.
