Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Zunge für einen Schuh gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Patentanspruchs 1 sowie einen Schuh gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Patentanspruchs 6.The invention relates to a tongue for a shoe according to the preamble of patent claim 1 and a shoe according to the preamble of patent claim 6.

Eine Zunge ist ein allgemein bekannter Teil eines Schuhs, der den Schuh gegenüber dem Vorderfuß und Rist eines Trägers nach vorne abschließt. Bei einigen Schuhen, insbesondere bei Sportschuhen, ist die Zunge darüber hinaus Teil eines Schließ- bzw. Schnürsystems, wobei ein bestimmter, üblicherweise mittlerer und/oder oberer Teil der Zunge einem Schließ- bzw. Schnürsystems des Schuhs zugeordnet ist. Ein derartiges Schnür-, respektive Spannsystem für einen Schuh ist beispielsweise in der DE 601 06 816 beschrieben, wobei die dortige Zunge in ihrem oberen Bereich eine Tasche mit Öffnungen aufweist, durch weiche sich die dortigen Schnürsenkel erstrecken und in welcher ein Schnürsenkelblockierelement untergebracht werden kann. Nachteilig bei dem in der DE 601 06 816 beschriebenen System ist jedoch die Tatsache, daß das freie, von einem Benutzer während eines Spannens bzw. Schließens des Schuhs, respektive des Schnürsenkels, zu ergreifende Ende des Schnürsenkels, das dort schlaufenförmig ausgebildet ist, nach einem Blockieren des dortigen Schnürsenkels in einer Schließposition relativ lang ist und in derselben Tasche verstaut wird, wie das dortige Blockierelement für den Schnürsenkel, so daß die dortige Tasche einerseits recht groß ausgebildet sein muß und andererseits bei einem Einschieben des überstehenden Schnürsenkels in die Tasche die Gefahr besteht, das Blockierelement wieder zu lösen, so daß sich die Schnürung des dortigen Schuhs lockert. Darüber hinaus besteht ferner die Gefahr, daß bei einem gewollten oder ungewollten Herausziehen des überstehenden Schnürsenkels das dortige Blockierelement ebenfalls aus der Tasche gezogen wird und sich möglicherweise ungewollt löst.A tongue is a well-known part of a shoe that closes the shoe forward of the forefoot and instep of a wearer. Moreover, in some shoes, especially sports shoes, the tongue is part of a lacing system wherein a certain, usually central and / or upper part of the tongue is associated with a closure system of the shoe. Such a Schnür-, respectively clamping system for a shoe is for example in the DE 601 06 816 described, wherein the local tongue has in its upper portion a pocket with openings through which extend the local laces and in which a Schnürsenkelblockierelement can be accommodated. A disadvantage of the in the DE 601 06 816 However, the system described is the fact that the free, to be taken by a user during a tightening or closing of the shoe, respectively the lace, the lace of the lace, which is formed there loop-shaped, after blocking the local lace in a closed position relatively long is and is stowed in the same bag, as the local blocking element for the shoe lace, so that the local bag on the one hand must be made quite large and on the other hand at inserting the protruding shoelace into the pocket there is a risk to solve the blocking element again, so that loosens the lacing of the shoe there. In addition, there is also the risk that when a deliberate or unwanted pulling out of the protruding laces the local blocking element is also pulled out of the bag and possibly dissolves unintentionally.

Die Aufgabe der Erfindung besteht darin, die vorgenannten Nachteile zu beseitigen und eine Zunge für einen Schuh sowie einen Schuh zur Verfügung zu stellen, der ein verbessertes Schließsystem aufweist und darüber hinaus eine sichere Verwahrung eines überstehenden Verschlußmittels, wie beispielsweise eines Schnürsenkels, gewährleistet.The object of the invention is to overcome the aforementioned drawbacks and to provide a tongue for a shoe and a shoe, which has an improved locking system and moreover ensures safe storage of a protruding locking means, such as a shoe lace.

Diese Aufgabe wird durch eine Zunge für einen Schuh gemäß Patentanspruch 1 sowie durch einen mit einer solchen Zunge ausgerüsteten Schuh gemäß Patentanspruch 6 gelöst.This object is achieved by a tongue for a shoe according to claim 1 and by a shoe equipped with such a tongue according to claim 6.

Insbesondere wird die Aufgabe durch eine Zunge für einen Schuh, insbesondere Sportschuh, mit wenigstens einer bei Benutzung des Schuhs außenseitig in einem oberen Bereich der Zunge angeordneten Verschlußmitteldurchführung sowie einer rückseitig der Verschlußmitteldurchführung in Richtung eines Benutzers angeordneten Tasche, insbesondere Verschlußmittelaufnahmetasche, gelöst.In particular, the object is achieved by a tongue for a shoe, in particular sports shoe, with at least one closure means feedthrough arranged on the outside in an upper region of the tongue when using the shoe and a pocket, in particular closure means receiving pocket, arranged on the back side of the closure means feedthrough in the direction of a user.

Ein wesentlicher Punkt der Erfindung liegt darin, daß die Zunge wenigstens eine, bei Benutzung des Schuhs außenseitig in einem oberen Bereich der Zunge angeordnete Verschlußmitteldurchführung aufweist, durch welche sich Verschlußmittel, wie beispielsweise Schnürsenkel hindurch erstrecken können, während rückseitig der Verschlußmitteidurchführung, d.h, in Richtung eines Benutzers, an der Zunge oder in der Zunge eine Verschlußmittelaufnahmetasche vorgesehen ist, in welche ein überschüssiges Verschlußmittel, wie beispielsweise ein oder mehrere der vorgenannten Schnürsenkel untergebracht werden können. Auf diese Weise ist es erfindungsgemäß möglich, ein Blockiersystem, welches einer Fixierung eines Verschlußmittels, wie eines Schnürsenkels, dient, im oberen Bereich der Zunge an oder in der Verschlußmitteldurchführung unterzubringen, während davon getrennt in einer zwischen Verschlußmitteldurchführung und Träger des Schuhs angeordneten Tasche überstehendes und/oder überschüssiges Verschlußmittel, wie vorgenannte Schnürsenkel, untergebracht werden kann, so daß eine gegenseitige Beeinflussung von Blockiersystem und Verschlußmittel nicht zu befürchten ist, so daß ein ungewolltes Öffnen des Blockiersystems durch überschüssiges Verschlußmittel bei einem Verstauen desselben oder einem aus der Tasche Herausholen von Verschlußmittel nicht mehr zu befürchten ist.An essential point of the invention is that the tongue has at least one closure means passageway disposed on the outside in an upper region of the tongue when the shoe is in use, through which closure means such as laces can extend, while the closure means passageway, ie, in the direction of the backside a user, on the tongue or in the tongue a closure means receiving pocket is provided, in which an excess closure means, such as one or more of the aforementioned laces can be accommodated. In this way, it is possible according to the invention, a blocking system, which serves to fix a closure means, such as a shoe lace, to accommodate in the upper region of the tongue or in the Verschlußmitteldurchurchführung while separated therefrom in a arranged between closure means bushing and wearer of the shoe bag projecting and / or excess closure means, such as the aforementioned laces, can be accommodated, so that a mutual influence of blocking system and Closing means is not to be feared, so that an accidental opening of the blocking system by excess closure means in a stowing the same or one out of the bag fetching closure means is no longer to be feared.

Gemäß einer besonderen Ausführungsform der Erfindung ist die Verschlußmitteldurchführung als Schlaufe ausgebildet, durch die wenigstens ein Verschlußmittel, vorzugsweise wenigstens ein Band oder wenigstens ein Schnürsenkel, geführt ist. Diese erfindungsgemäße Schlaufe kann, je nach Bedarf, entweder als Seil- oder Bandschlaufe ausgebildet sein, wobei jedoch auch eine großflächige taschenförmige Schlaufe in den Umfang der Erfindung fällt, die beispielsweise flächig auf dem vorderen oberen Bereich der Zunge mit vorschlagsweise seitlichen Befestigungspunkten oder -nähten, Nieten oder Klebung angebracht ist.According to a particular embodiment of the invention, the closure means bushing is formed as a loop through which at least one closure means, preferably at least one band or at least one lace, is guided. This loop according to the invention may be formed either as a cable or a loop loop, as required, but also a large-scale pocket-shaped loop falls within the scope of the invention, for example, flat on the front upper portion of the tongue with possible lateral attachment points or seams, Rivets or gluing is appropriate.

Des weiteren ist die Schlaufe erfindungsgemäß elastisch und gegebenenfalls für die Aufnahme und/oder Halterung eines Blockiersystems, insbesondere einer Klemmeinrichtung für das Verschlußmittel ausgebildet, wobei das Blockiersystem in einer seil- oder bandförmigen Schlaufe gehalten und fixiert sein kann, jedoch auch vollständig in einer taschenförmigen Schlaufe untergebracht werden kann. Es sei an dieser Stelle darauf hingewiesen, daß das Blockiersystem entweder als fester Bestandteil der taschenförmigen Schlaufe ausgebildet und in dieser fest integriert sein kann, oder alternativ in diese Tasche einschiebbar und aus dieser herausnehmbar sein kann.Furthermore, the loop according to the invention is elastic and optionally designed for receiving and / or holding a blocking system, in particular a clamping device for the closure means, wherein the blocking system can be held and fixed in a rope or band-shaped loop, but also completely in a pocket-shaped loop can be accommodated. It should be noted at this point that the blocking system can either be formed as an integral part of the pocket-shaped loop and firmly integrated into this, or alternatively can be inserted into this pocket and removable from this.

Ferner ist erfindungsgemäß vorgesehen, daß die Schlaufe eine, insbesondere schlitzförmige, Ausnehmung aufweisen kann, die zur Aufnahme, insbesondere zur formschlüssigen Aufnahme und Halterung des Blockiersystems dient. Auf diese Weise kann das Blockiersystem sicher an oder in der Schlaufe, nämlich in der dafür vorgesehen schlitzförmigen Ausnehmung der Schlaufe untergebracht werden und ist andererseits für eine Handhabung zum Spannen bzw. Schließen des Schuhs sowie zum Lösen des Verschlußmittels leicht und bequem zugänglich.Further, the invention provides that the loop may have a, in particular slot-shaped, recess which serves for receiving, in particular for the positive reception and mounting of the blocking system. In this way, the blocking system can be safely accommodated on or in the loop, namely in the slot-shaped recess provided for the loop and on the other hand easily and conveniently accessible for handling to tighten or close the shoe and to release the closure means.

Gemäß einer weiteren Ausführungsform der Erfindung ist die Verschlußmittelaufnahmetasche und/oder die Verschlußmitteldurchführung integral mit der Zunge ausgebildet, so daß sowohl die Verschlußmittelaufnahmetasche und/oder die Verschlußmitteldurchführung vollständig in der Zunge untergebracht sind und somit die Dicke der Zunge nicht oder nur unwesentlich vergrößern. Alternativ kann es vorgesehen sein, daß die Verschlußmitteldurchführung an einen oberen Bereich der Zunge angesetzt und mit diesem vernäht, verklebt, vernietet oder verschweißt ist. Darüber hinaus kann auch die Verschlußmittelaufnahmetasche auf eine bereits bestehende, fertige Zunge aufgenäht oder anderweitig angebracht werden oder im Zuge der Herstellung einer Zunge an diese angesetzt und mit dieser verbunden, insbesondere vernäht oder verklebt, vernietet oder verschweißt werden.According to a further embodiment of the invention, the closure means receiving pocket and / or the closure means passage is integrally formed with the tongue, so that both the closure means receiving pocket and / or the closure means passage are completely housed in the tongue and thus not or only slightly increase the thickness of the tongue.

Fig. 1 zeigt eine schematische Darstellung einer erfindungsgemäßen Verschlußmitteldurchführung 20, durch welche sich ein Verschlußmittel 40 in Form eines schlaufenförmig geführten Schnürsenkels 40 hindurch erstreckt. Die Verschlußmitteldurchführung 20 ist als taschenförmige Schlaufe ausgebildet, in welcher ein Blockiersystem 50 untergebracht ist, durch das sich wiederum die Schnürsenkel 40 hindurch erstrecken. Des weiteren ist aus Fig. 1 erkennbar, daß rückseitig der Verschlußmitteldurchführung 20 eine Verschlußmittelaufnahmetasche 30 angeordnet ist, in welcher überstehendes, respektive überschüssiges Verschlußmittel 40 untergebracht ist. Wiederum rückseitig der Verschlußmittelaufnahmetasche 30 kann eine Zunge angeordnet sein, an welche die in Fig. 1 schematisch dargestellte Vorrichtung angenäht sein kann. Alternativ ist es auch möglich, die in Fig. 1 dargestellte Vorrichtung unmittelbar in eine Zunge 10 (in Fig. 1 nicht dargestellt) zu integrieren. Fig. 1 shows a schematic representation of a closure means bushing 20 according to the invention, through which a closure means 40 extends in the form of a loop-shaped run lace 40 therethrough. The closure means passage 20 is formed as a pocket-shaped loop, in which a blocking system 50 is housed, through which in turn extend the laces 40 therethrough. Furthermore, it is off Fig. 1 recognizable that the back of the closure means feedthrough 20 a closure means receiving pocket 30 is arranged, in which protruding, respectively excess closure means 40 is housed. Again on the back of the closure means receiving pocket 30, a tongue may be arranged, to which the in Fig. 1 can be sewn schematically illustrated device. Alternatively, it is also possible to use the in Fig. 1 shown device directly into a tongue 10 (in Fig. 1 not shown).

Die Figuren 2 und 3 zeigen jeweils eine schematische Darstellung einer erfindungsgemäßen Zunge, wobei bei den in Fig. 2 und Fig. 3 dargestellten Ausführungsformen die Verschlußmitteldurchführung 20 jeweils als taschenförmige Schlaufe ausgebildet ist, die jeweils eine Ausnehmung 60 aufweist, in welcher ein jeweiliges Blockiersystem 50 formschlüssig fixiert werden kann, wenn das Verschlußmittel 40 gespannt und durch das Blockiersystem 50 gehalten wird. Des weiteren ist in Fig. 2 dargestellt, wie sich das Verschlußmittel 40 durch das Blockiersystem 50 sowie durch die Verschlußmitteldurchführung 20 erstreckt und dort aus einem als Buttonhole bezeichneten "Knopfloch" heraus erstreckt und als ringförmig verlaufender Schnürsenkel dargestellt ist.The FIGS. 2 and 3 each show a schematic representation of a tongue according to the invention, wherein in the in Fig. 2 and Fig. 3 the closure means bushing 20 is formed in each case as a pocket-shaped loop, each having a recess 60 in which a respective blocking system 50 can be positively fixed when the closure means 40 is tensioned and held by the blocking system 50. Furthermore, in Fig. 2 shown as the closure means 40 extends through the blocking system 50 and through the closure means bushing 20 and there extends out of a "buttonhole" referred to as Buttonhole out and is shown as an annularly extending shoelace.

In Fig. 2 ist die Ausnehmung 60, welche sich in der Verschlußmitteldurchführung 20 befindet, noch nicht von dem Blockiersystem 50 belegt, während in Fig. 3 das Blockiersystem 50 formschlüssig in der Ausnehmung 60 der Verschlußmitteldurchführung 20 gehalten ist. Darüber hinaus ist in Fig. 3 dargestellt, wie das Verschlußmittel 40 in einer rückseitig der Verschlußmitteldurchführung 20 angeordneten Verschlußmittelaufnahmetasche 30 untergebracht ist. Die freien Enden des Verschlußmittels 40 erstrecken sich in den Figuren 2 und 3 sowie auch in Fig. 1 in Richtung des Schnürsystems eines zugeordneten Schuhs.In Fig. 2 is the recess 60, which is located in the closure means passage 20, not yet occupied by the blocking system 50, while in Fig. 3 the blocking system 50 is held in a form-fitting manner in the recess 60 of the closure means passage 20. In addition, in Fig. 3 illustrated how the closure means 40 is housed in a rear side of the closure means feedthrough 20 arranged closure means receiving pocket 30. The free ends of the closure means 40 extend into the FIGS. 2 and 3 as well as in Fig. 1 towards the lacing system of an associated shoe.

Die Figuren 4 bis 7 zeigen, in welcher Weise eine erfindungsgemäße Zunge 10 in einem erfindungsgemäßen Schuh angeordnet ist und in welcher Weise das Verschlußmittel 40 das Schnürsystem des Schuhs bildet und sich durch die Verschlußmitteldurchführung 20 hindurch erstreckt. In der Verschlußmitteldurchführung 20, die gemäß den Figuren 4 bis 7 als taschenförmige Schlaufe ausgebildet ist, welche im hier vorliegenden Fall keine Ausnehmung 60 aufweist, ist das Blockiersystem 50, durch welches sich das Verschlußmittel 40 fixieren läßt, untergebracht, wobei das Blockiersystem 50 von unten, d.h. von dem Schnürsystem des Schuhs kommend in die taschenförmige Schlaufe der Verschlußmitteldurchführung eingeschoben ist, wobei sich das Verschlußmittel 40 oben aus der elastischen taschenförmigen Schlaufe heraus erstreckt. Diese elastische Verschiußmittetdurchführung 20 ist kopfseitig der Zunge 10 angeordnet und so ausgebildet, daß das Verschlußmittel 40 einerseits auf einfache Weise geführt wird, während das Blockiersystem 50 nach einem Spannen des Verschlußmittels 40 in der Ausnehmung 60 gehalten werden kann, wobei die Ausnehmung 60 so dimensioniert und insbesondere so breit ist, daß sie das Blockiersystem 50 aufnehmen kann, jedoch nicht so breit ist, daß eine Halterung des Blockiersystems 50 nicht sicher möglich wäre.The FIGS. 4 to 7 show the way in which a tongue 10 according to the invention is arranged in a shoe according to the invention and in which way the closure means 40 forms the lacing system of the shoe and extends through the closure means passage 20 therethrough. In the closure means passage 20, which according to the FIGS. 4 to 7 is formed as a pocket-shaped loop, which has no recess 60 in the present case, the blocking system 50, through which the closure means 40 can fix, housed, the blocking system 50 from below, ie coming from the lacing system of the shoe in the pocket-shaped loop the closure means feedthrough is inserted, wherein the closure means 40 at the top of the elastic pocket-shaped loop extends out. This elastic Verschiußmittetdurchführung 20 is arranged on the head side of the tongue 10 and formed so that the closure means 40 on the one hand is guided in a simple manner, while the blocking system 50 can be held in the recess 60 after a tightening of the closure means 40, wherein the recess 60 is dimensioned and in particular, is so wide that it can accommodate the blocking system 50, but is not so wide that a support of the blocking system 50 would not be possible safely.

Die Verschlußmittelaufnahmetasche 30 ist wiederum so ausgebildet, daß das Verschlußmittel 40, weiches sich in Richtung Oberseite der Zunge 10 aus dem Blockiersystem 50 durch das vorerwähnte "Knopfloch" der Verschlußmitteldurchführung 20 heraus erstreckt, einfach und sicher untergebracht werden kann, so daß ein überschüssiges Verschlußmittel, insbesondere Schnürsenkel, nicht außerhalb des Schuhs unordentlich herumhängt.The closure means receiving pocket 30 is in turn formed so that the closure means 40, which extends towards the top of the tongue 10 from the blocking system 50 through the aforementioned "buttonhole" of the closure means passage 20, can be easily and safely accommodated, so that an excess closure means, especially laces, not hanging around untidily outside the shoe.

Fig. 8 zeigt eine vergrößerte Darstellung eines oberen Bereichs der Zunge 10 eines erfindungsgemäßen Schuhs mit einer Verschlußmitteldurchführung 20, welche taschenförmig und zur Aufnahme eines Blockiersystems 50 ausgebildet ist. Die Detaildarstellung in Fig. 8 zeigt einen Schuh aus einer Frontansicht, so daß sich das Verschlußmittel 40 nach hinten in die Verschlußmittelaufnahmetasche 30 (in Fig. 8 nicht sichtbar) erstreckt. Diese Verschlußmittelaufnahmetasche 30 ist in Fig. 9 gut erkennbar, wobei Fig. 9 darstellt, in welcher Weise das Verschlußmittel 40, welches sich aus dem "Buttonhole" heraus erstreckt, untergebracht werden kann. Fig. 8 11 shows an enlarged view of an upper region of the tongue 10 of a shoe according to the invention with a closure means feed-through 20, which is pocket-shaped and designed to receive a blocking system 50. The detailed representation in Fig. 8 shows a shoe from a front view, so that the closure means 40 back into the closure means receiving pocket 30 (in Fig. 8 not visible). This closure means receiving pocket 30 is in Fig. 9 easily recognizable, whereby Fig. 9 represents how the closure means 40, which extends out of the "buttonhole", can be accommodated.

Somit weist die erfindungsgemäße Zunge in vorteilhafter Weise ein Doppeltaschensystem auf, das einerseits zur Fixierung bzw. Blockierung eines Verschlußmittels, nämlich vorzugsweise eines Schnürsenkels, vorgesehen ist, der sich durch eine taschenförmige Schlaufe erstreckt und dessen Überstand sodann in einer Verschlußmittelaufnahmetasche, welche in Frontalansicht der Zunge hinter der Verschlußmitteldurchführung 20 angeordnet ist, verstaut werden kann.Thus, the tongue according to the invention advantageously on a double-pocket system, which is provided on the one hand for fixing or blocking a closure means, namely preferably a lace, which extends through a pocket-shaped loop and the supernatant then in a closure means receiving pocket, which in frontal view of the tongue is arranged behind the closure means bushing 20, can be stowed.

An dieser Stelle sei darauf hingewiesen, daß alle oben beschriebenen Teile für sich alleine gesehen und in jeder Kombination, insbesondere die in den Zeichnungen dargestellten Details, als erfindungswesentlich beansprucht werden. Abänderungen hiervon sind dem Fachmann geläufig.It should be noted at this point that all the above-described parts are considered to be alone and in every combination, in particular the details shown in the drawings, claimed as essential to the invention. Variations thereof are familiar to the person skilled in the art.
