Definitions

  • the invention relates to a support sleeve for thin and / or high heels of women's shoes.
  • So-called "high heels” of women's shoes usually have only a very small contact area, so that they exert a correspondingly high pressure on the ground. Walking with such shoes on numerous surfaces is therefore problematic. This applies, for example, to lawns, cobblestone streets, gravel paths, or even areas with holes in the floor, such as manhole covers, gratings, wooden planks, etc. Because of the high pressure exerted, there is more than a risk of the wearer moving in soft ground areas. On the other hand, the high pressure can also damage many surfaces such as parquet floors, plastic floors, etc., so that entry of such floors is often prohibited, at least in public buildings, for wearers of high heel shoes.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a device that allows wearers of shoes with thin and / or high heels to support sufficiently on soft or irregular ground surfaces.
  • the solution of the problem consists in a support sleeve for high heels of women's shoes, with a provided for receiving a paragraph sleeve body, which has a relation to the base of the male heel substantially larger base and fastening means for attachment to the heel.
  • the load of the wearer may well be distributed to a surface which is many times larger than the base of the recorded heel.
  • the surface pressure is thereby significantly reduced compared to that of the male heel, so that damage to sensitive wood and plastic floors can be avoided. Even a sinking in lawns or on gravel paths can be excluded.
  • the support sleeve according to the invention should be easy and can be mounted on a shoe heel with a few simple steps. This makes standing and walking much more comfortable. Depending on the embodiment of the kick can be cushioned and thus relieved back and spine. The heels themselves are protected from damage.
  • the support sleeve has a collecting surface in the interior, which transmits directly or indirectly the vertical force exerted by the shoulder on the base surface of the support sleeve.
  • the support sleeve thus preferably has a bottom on which the normal shoe heel is supported.
  • the support sleeve can also surround the shoulder so firmly that the vertical forces are transmitted via the wall surfaces of the shoulder and the inner wall of the support sleeve.
  • the gels can be designed so that they change their viscosity depending on the type of load, so for example at higher shear forces are substantially rigid (thixotropy, reology).
  • the support sleeve may consist of several individual rings, such as rings made of an elastomeric material, the lower naturally must have a solid bottom.
  • An advantageous support sleeve has a sleeve body, in which the sleeve bore has on the inside projecting, forming a thread ribs, such that the support sleeve can be screwed onto the shoulder from below.
  • the support sleeve is closed at one end by a bottom, so that could also be spoken by a support cap.
  • the support cap is screwed onto the high heel from below and considerably increases the footprint of the heel.
  • a real support sleeve is only considered if several support sleeves and a support cap to be pushed onto a very high heel. This comes into consideration, for example, if, among other things, the decorative effect of the support sleeves should be used and a buffer effect should prevent a hard appearance.
  • the support sleeve is preferably made of elastic TPU or silicone rubber. Determining the Shore hardness can be left to a specialist. Firstly, the ribs with the threads on the inside of the sleeve bore must be relatively soft so that they do not damage sensitive heels. On the other hand, however, the closed ground must be strong enough to carry the load of the heel. The support sleeve could therefore also have locally different hardness.
  • the support sleeve need not be substantially cylindrical on the outside, as the term sleeve might suggest. Rather, the support sleeve on the outside have a rounded, finally even spherical shape.
  • the shape of the support sleeve can also be subordinated to optical, decorative aspects. This can be done by color, but also by form.
  • the spherical support sleeve on the outside have flattened facets and give the impression of a polished stone.
  • the thread-shaped ribs inside the sleeve bore may be formed on their back substantially wedge-shaped, so that they can hold well on the heel that they are supposed to protect. On the other hand, they should not damage those heels that are covered with fine leather, for example.
  • the material is therefore preferably relatively soft, especially in the region of these threads.
  • the support sleeve comprises one or more elastic rings which can be successively attached to the heel and cover it over its entire height.
  • a flexible cuff can be provided in the upper region of the heel on the support sleeve, which can be pushed together like an accordion if the height of the heel is correspondingly lower.
  • a vent hole may be provided, for example, in the bottom surface or in a less conspicuous lateral position.
  • the shape of the base of the support sleeve can be chosen arbitrarily.
  • fashionable aspects can play a role.
  • a support sleeve according to the invention is shown in the open position in a vertical section.
  • the support sleeve is designated 10.
  • the support sleeve can be opened in the manner of a calyx and collapse around this after inserting a shoe heel.
  • the support sleeve has individual, outwardly bendable strips 12,14, which emanate from the periphery of a lower bottom 16.
  • the strips In the lower inner region, the strips have inwardly directed projections 18, 20, which are loaded by an entering shoe heel. As a result, the strips are at least slightly bent inwards.
  • the strips 12,14 are placed around the shoe heel, not shown around and compressed.
  • a pre-rolled on the paragraph rubber ring, such as an O-ring 22 can be rolled down from the upper end of the heel onto the support sleeve and insert into a circumferential groove 24 on the outside of the strips 12,14.
  • the strips remain in the in Fig. 2 shown closed position around the heel of the shoe around.
  • the shoe heel which is pushed into the interior of the support sleeve, has a substantially smaller footprint than the support sleeve 10
  • the bottom 16 has a linsenfömige curvature in the embodiment shown.
  • a suitable stiffening such as a metal plate, be inserted.
  • Fig. 3 shows another embodiment of the invention.
  • This embodiment is particularly suitable for heels of different heights, as it is composed of individual, superimposed rings 26,28,30 of elastomeric materials, such as natural rubber or silicone rubber or an elastomeric plastic.
  • the cross sections of the individual rings are in 4 and 5 shown.
  • the ring 26 from the upper position is a simple, elastic ring, while the ring 30 in the lower position have a solid bottom 32 on which the male heel must be supported.
  • this bottom 32 has a vent hole 34, which may be useful if the paragraph is taken under air seal. To close the vent hole 34, an unillustrated plug can be provided.
  • support sleeve 40 consists of a lower, fixed part 42 and an upper, soft, thin-walled part 44, which serves to cover the upper part of the recorded paragraph and thereby allows adaptation to the height of the paragraph.
  • the upper, flexible part 44 can be concertina-like pushed together or rolled up in the manner of a turtle neck or otherwise collapse. This is in Fig. 7 clarified.
  • the lower part is made of relatively rigid material and has on its inner circumferential wall ribs or fins 46, which are formed in the illustrated embodiment as a kind of threads. These fins 46 serve to hold the support sleeve 40 on the heel of a shoe.
  • a rigid plate 48 In the lower part of the receiving opening for the heel is a rigid plate 48, on which the heel is supported.
  • a support sleeve according to the invention can be formed in a further embodiment by a helically coiled spring which is coated with a rubber-like material made of natural or silicone rubber.
  • the end of the coil spring can be flattened and closed in the middle. Due to the helical shape, a very favorable force transmission of the vertical forces is achieved on the support sleeve.
  • Fig. 8 shows a further embodiment of the support sleeve according to the invention.
  • the support sleeve is indeed sleeve-shaped and has an inner cavity.
  • the outer shape is, however, strongly spherical rounded and otherwise provided with facets that serve the purposes of decoration.
  • a thread thread of elastic ribs is shown inside hinted form a thread 50, which allow it to screw the support sleeve downright on a high heel. In this way, the support sleeve obtains a tight fit on the shoulder, without the risk that the paragraph is damaged when attaching the support sleeve.
  • Fig. 9 shows an enlarged vertical section through a support sleeve according to Fig. 1 , Is recognizable in Fig. 9 in particular the thread 50 in the interior of the sleeve bore. Visible is also the strongly rounded outer shape.
  • the ribs 50 are tapered in a wedge shape on their backs, which are directed inwards. In this way, the ribs can be easily screwed onto the heel of the shoe, and they achieve a relatively firm grip on the heel.
  • Fig. 10 shows a support sleeve according to the invention from the bottom.
  • the facet-shaped design of the support sleeve on the outside is also recognizable here.
  • the support sleeve shown here can be supplemented by additional elastic support sleeves, which are constructed on the same principle as the support sleeve shown here, but have no closed bottom. Through several such support sleeves, the paragraph can cover over its entire height, and it creates a buffer effect on appearance.
  • the support sleeve itself may be formed of such rings that enclose the paragraph over its entire height.
