Abstract

The system has a backbone shank (B), elastic stick (S) and rubber strap (R) connected with one another. A rib structure engages the rubber strap into a hole of a backbone body (V). An upper strap of the backbone shank is designed as a joint, and an inner thin and flexible mounting sole is provided with a click rail (C). An outer sole is attached to an inner sole. The backbone shank is engaged into a click closure and connected with a pointe shoe in a fixed manner by a locking system, where bending characteristics of the shank are controlled by the stick.

Description

EINFÜHRUNGINTRODUCTION

Beim klassischen Ballett benötigt eine Tänzerin für den Spitzentanz meist nur in einem einzigen Falle die relative Steifheit der Innensohle ihres Spitzenschuhs - (Fig.1 - c) das ist der Moment des Stehens auf Spitze! Für alle anderen Schritte und Bewegungen im Tanz, insbesondere für das Demi-Point (Fig.1 - b), dem Stehen auf halber Spitze, und nicht zuletzt für die Gesunderhaltung bzw. die gesunde Entwicklung des beanspruchten Fußes einer Ballerina, ist aber diese Steifheit der Sohle genau das Problem. Alle Spitzenschuhhersteller stehen vor einem grundsätzlichen Problem: Wie kann ich eine relativ flexible Spitzenschuhsohle herstellen, die für den Stand auf Spitze genügend Halt bietet? Bisherige Lösungen sind deshalb oft ein Kompromiss!In classical ballet, a dancer for top dance usually only needs the relative stiffness of the insole of her pointe shoe in a single case - ( Fig.1 - c ) that is the moment of standing on top! For all other steps and movements in the dance, especially for the demi-point ( Fig.1 - b ), standing on half a peak, and not least for the health and healthy development of the stressed foot of a ballerina, but this stiffness of the sole is just the problem. All lace shoe manufacturers face a fundamental problem: How can I produce a relatively flexible pointe shoe sole that provides sufficient support for standing on top? So previous solutions are often a compromise!

STAND DER TECHNIKSTATE OF THE ART

Traditionell bestehen Innensohlen von Spitzenschuhen aus mehreren Lagen unterschiedlicher Materialien, wie Pappen, Vulkanfieber und Leder, welche in verschiedenen Längen miteinander verklebt, genagelt oder vernäht werden. Unser deutsches Gebrauchsmuster (Nr. 20 2011 004 126.3 - Wirbelsäulensohle) beschreibt bereits einen Wirbelaufbau der Innensohle, wobei es möglich wird, wichtige funktionelle Bereiche individuell anzusteuern. (Fig. Stand der Technik) Oben ist die Wirbelsohle durch ein widerstandsfähiges aber unelastisches Material (U) definiert, mit dem die konisch ausgearbeiteten Wirbelkörper (V) fest verbunden sind. Das Einfügen oder Entfernen von Bandscheiben (S) definiert das Biegeverhalten der Sohle. Das untere Material (L) wiederum ist widerstandsfähig aber elastisch (z.B. Gummi). Die Sohle wird dadurch nach oben biegbar, nach unten jedoch wird ihre Biegsamkeit durch die Wirbel (V) und Bandscheiben (S) definierbar.Traditionally insoles of lace shoes consist of several layers of different materials, such as cardboard, volcanic fever and leather, which are glued together, nailed or sewn in different lengths. Our German utility model (No. 20 2011 004 126.3 - spine sole) already describes a vertebral structure of the insole, whereby it is possible to individually control important functional areas. (Prior Art) At the top, the spine is defined by a tough but inelastic material (U) to which the conical vertebrae (V) are firmly connected. The insertion or removal of discs (S) defines the bending behavior of the sole. The lower material (L), in turn, is tough but elastic (e.g., rubber). The sole becomes bendable upwards, but downwards its flexibility becomes definable by the vertebrae (V) and intervertebral discs (S).

PROBLEMPROBLEM

Ungelöst sind jedoch noch die Fixierung der "Bandscheiben" gegen das seitliche Verrutschen. Ebenso die Art und Weise des sicheren und umweltfreundlichen Verbundes der Komponenten miteinander. So sind Klebeverbindungen zwischen starrer Innensohle und elastischer Außenlage kaum dauerhaft und effizient zu gewährleisten. Die effiziente Montage in den fertigen Spitzenschuh ist ungeklärt und es ist nicht möglich, das Widerstandsverhalten der Innensohle, welches vor allem durch die Shore-Härte der unteren "Gummilage" definiert wird, individuell zu variieren. Um das individuelle Steuerverhalten der Innensohle für den Endverbraucher dauerhaft zu gewährleisten, muss es jederzeit möglich sein, dass jede einzelne Komponente leicht zu entfernen oder auszuwechseln ist.However, the fixation of the "intervertebral discs" against the lateral slippage is still unsolved. Likewise the way of the safe and environment-friendly union of the components together. Thus, adhesive bonds between rigid insole and elastic outer layer are difficult to ensure durable and efficient. The efficient assembly in the finished pointe shoe is unclear and it is not possible to vary the resistance behavior of the insole, which is mainly defined by the Shore hardness of the lower "rubber layer", individually. In order to permanently guarantee the individual control behavior of the insole for the end user, it must always be possible for each individual component to be easily removed or replaced.

LÖSUNGSOLUTION

Oft wird die Innensohle von Spitzenschuhen auch "Rückgrat" des Spitzenschuhs genannt. Dieser Gedanke wurde konsequent von uns weitergeführt um das, was die Natur über Jahrmillionen der Evolution optimiert hat, technologisch nutzbar zu machen. Wir haben die von uns bisher entwickelten Strukturen schließlich so weit optimiert, dass eine revolutionäre Verbesserung der Spitzenschuhfunktion und seiner medizinischen Bedenklichkeiten erreicht wird. Ergebnis unserer Arbeit ist ein leicht zu montierendes formverbundenes "intelligentes Wirbelsohlen Funktionssystem" als Innensohle insbesondere für Spitzenschuhe! (Fig.1)Often the insole of pointe shoes is also called the "backbone" of the pointe shoe. This idea has been consistently pursued by us in order to make what can be used in nature over millions of years of evolution technologically usable. Finally, we have optimized the structures we have developed so far that a revolutionary improvement in the tip shoe function and its medical concerns is achieved. Result of our work is an easy-to-install form-linked "intelligent spine functional system" as an insole, especially for pointe shoes! ( Fig.1 )

AUSFÜHRUNG DER ERFINDUNGEMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION

Das "intelligente Wirbelsohlen Funktionssystem" (Fig.2) besteht mindestens aus zwei, im optimalen Fall jedoch aus drei funktionellen Grundkomponenten, die im reinen Formverbund ohne Verbindungsmittel oder Klebstoffe miteinander "verheiratet" und entsprechend leicht zu montieren oder zu wechseln sind. Das Grundelement "Wirbelsohle" (B), die "Sticks" (S) als Bandscheiben und die "Gummilage" (R) als Muskel des Systems.The "intelligent spine functional system" ( Fig.2 ) consists of at least two, in the best case, however, of three basic functional components that are "married" together in the pure composite form without fasteners or adhesives and accordingly easy to assemble or change. The basic element "spine" (B), the "sticks" (S) as intervertebral discs and the "rubber layer" (R) as the muscle of the system.

1.) Wirbelsohle1.) spine

Die "Wirbelsohle" (Fig.3) charakterisiert hauptsächlich eine Aneinanderreihung von Wirbelkörpern (V), die sowohl gerade als auch in einem definierten Winkel konisch ausgebildet sein können. Die Zwischenräume (I) der Wirbelkörper ermöglichen der Wirbelsohle eine freie Biegbarkeit nach oben. Die Biegbarkeit nach unten wird erst durch die gerade oder konische Form der Wirbelkörper begrenzt, deren Schenkel bei einer bestimmbaren Maximalbiegung gegeneinander stoßen und keine weitere Biegung zulassen (Fig.4 - a-A). Die "Wirbelsohle" wird oben durch ein sehr widerstandsfähiges, flexibles aber unelastisches Material definiert (Fig.4 - a-U), mit dem die Wirbelkörper, je nach Produktionsverfahren, fest verbunden oder direkt vergossen sind. Am effizientesten scheint hier die Anwendung von Spritzgussverfahren zu sein, bei dem die Wirbelsohle mit allen Wirbelkörpern und der als Gelenk fungierenden Oberlage (Fig.4 - a-U) in einem Guss hergestellt werden. Entsprechende Formgestaltung und Ausbuchtungen der Wirbelsohle (Fig.2 & Fig.3) erlauben nun unter anderem den reinen Formverbund aller Komponenten miteinander ohne Klebstoffe verwenden zu müssen. Die "Wirbelsohle" ermüdet gegenüber herkömmlichen Innensohlen von Spitzenschuhen kaum! Sie wird sozusagen nicht "weich", und bietet dem Fuß der Tänzerin über den gesamten Lebenszyklus des Außenschuhs hinweg volle Beweglichkeit und eine dauerhafte stabile Unterstützung im Spitzenstand! Die von Tänzerinnen oft benutzte Terminologie: "Weichheit" oder "Festigkeit" spielt bei der "Wirbelsohle" keine Rolle mehr! Weil sie in alle erwünschte Richtungen bereits flexibel und in der notwendigen Endposition auf Spitze dann dauerhaft "fest" ist (Fig.1 - a,b,c).The "spine" ( Figure 3 ) mainly characterizes a juxtaposition of vertebral bodies (V), which may be conical both straight and at a defined angle. The interspaces (I) of the vertebral bodies allow the spine to bend freely upwards. The bendability downwards is limited only by the straight or conical shape of the vertebral bodies, whose legs abut against each other at a definable maximum bending and do not allow further bending ( Figure 4 - aA). The "spine" is defined above by a very resilient, flexible but inelastic material ( Figure 4 - aU), with the vertebral bodies, depending on the production process, firmly connected or shed directly. The most efficient seems to be the use of injection molding in which the spine with all vertebral bodies and the upper layer ( Figure 4 - aU) are produced in one piece. Corresponding shape design and bulges of the spine ( Fig.2 & Figure 3 ) now allow, among other things, the pure molding compound of all components without having to use adhesives. The "spine" hardly tires compared to conventional insoles of lace shoes! It does not "soften", so to speak, and provides the dancer's foot with full agility over the entire life cycle of the outer shoe and lasting, stable support at the top! The terminology often used by dancers: "Softness" or "firmness" no longer plays a role in the "spine"! Because she is already flexible in all desirable directions and then permanently "stuck" in the necessary end position on top ( Fig.1 - a, b, c ).

2.) Sticks2.) Sticks

Die "Sticks" (Fig.5 - S) fungieren wie eine Bandscheibe in der "Wirbelsohle"! Ein Stick zwischen zwei Wirbeln bewirkt, dass sich die "Wirbelsohle" an dieser Stelle zwar immer noch nach oben aber nicht weiter nach unten biegen kann (Fig.4 - a). Nun ist es sehr leicht möglich, beliebige "Sticks" (S) im Fersenbereich einzufügen oder zu entfernen (Fig.2 - S). An frei definierbaren Punkten folgt die "Wirbelsohle" nun der individuell gebogenen Anatomie der Fußsohle und bleibt an anderen Stellen, z.B. unter dem Vorfuß oder hinter der Ferse gerade (Fig.1 - c)! Pro Lücke erreicht die "Wirbelsohle" je nach definierter konischer Ausprägung der Wirbelkörper eine Biegsamkeit z.B. um 18 Grad. Werden nun insgesamt fünf "Sticks" zwischen den Wirbeln entfernt, entspricht die zusätzlich erreichte Gesamtbiegung 90 Grad. Elastische "Sticks" im Vorfußbereich leisten für den Stand auf Spitze oder beim Sprung einen Geräusch und Stoß reduzierenden Effekt. Elastische "Sticks" können nun auch die Winkeldrehungen der Wirbelkörper zueinander tolerant machen. Anstatt einen "Stick" im Fersenbereich ganz zu entfernen, kann auch ein elastischer "Stick" eingesetzt werden um so unter der Fersenbeuge einen variablen und auch Stoß absorbierenden Gegendruck zu erzeugen. Die "Sticks" sind in unserer Ausführung nun im mittleren Bereich verdünnt, damit die "Gummilage" (Fig.6 - R) in diese Buchten (Fig.5 - RS) hineingreift und das seitliche Verrutschen der "Sticks" verhindert wird.The "sticks" ( Figure 5 - S) act like an intervertebral disc in the "spine"! A stick between two vertebrae causes the "spine" at this point, while still able to bend upwards but not further down ( Fig.4 - a ). Now it is very easy to insert or remove any "sticks" (S) in the heel area ( Fig.2 - S). At freely definable points, the "spine" now follows the individually curved anatomy of the sole of the foot and remains in other places, eg under the forefoot or behind the heel ( Fig.1 - c )! Depending on the defined conical shape of the vertebral bodies, the "spine" reaches a flexibility of approx. 18 degrees per gap. If now a total of five "sticks" are removed between the vertebrae, the additional total bending achieved is 90 degrees. Elastic "sticks" in the forefoot area provide a noise and impact reducing effect for standing on top or jumping. Elastic "sticks" can now also tolerate the angular rotations of the vertebral bodies. Instead of completely removing a "stick" in the heel area, an elastic "stick" can also be used to create a variable and also shock absorbing back pressure under the heel bend. The "Sticks" are now diluted in our version in the middle area, so that the "rubber layer" ( Fig.6 - R ) in these bays ( Figure 5 - RS) engages and lateral slippage of the "sticks" is prevented.

3.) Gummilage3.) rubber layer

Das untere Material, die "Gummilage" (Fig.6 - R) ist widerstandsfähig und gegenüber der Oberlage (Fig.4 - U) aber elastisch. Sie wird an definierten Punkten der "Wirbelsohle" fixiert. In unserer Ausführung zeigen wir einen reinen Formverbund der "Gummilage" mit der "Wirbelsohle" (Fig.2). Die integrierte "Gummilage" greift hier mit entsprechenden Rippen (Fig.2 - F) wie ein Muskel in jeden einzelnen Wirbelkörper, die mit entsprechenden Aufnahmebuchten versehen sind. Nun kann die "Gummilage" mit ihrer elastischen Steuerung die einzelnen Wirbelkörper untereinander synchronisieren. Wird die "Wirbelsohle" nun beim Gehen oder im Demi Pointe nach oben gebogen, wird über den Zug auf die Gummilage eine gleichmäßig verlaufende Biegung der ganzen Sohle erreicht (Fig.1 - b). Der Formverbund der Gummilage mit der "Wirbelsohle", ohne Klebungen oder mechanische Schraub-, Nagel- oder sonstige Verbindungselemente, ermöglichen einer Tänzerin mit wenigen Handgriffen "Gummilagen" mit alternativen Shore-Härten in ihre Sohle selber einzubringen, was insbesondere für Profitänzerinnen eine bisher unerreichte Erleichterung darstellt. Bei Dehnung nimmt die integrierte "Gummilage", gegenüber flachen geklebten oder geschraubten Gummiunterschichten, zudem noch mehr dynamische Kraft auf, die sie beim Sprung oder beim Übergang zum Spitzenstand spürbar an den Fuß zurückgibt (Känguru Effekt). Zudem fungiert die integrierte "Gummilage" auch als mechanische und sichere Sperre gegen das seitliche Verrutschen der "Sticks", die mit entsprechenden Buchten für die "Gummilage" versehen sind (Fig.5 - RS). Die "Gummilage" wird im gedehnten Zustand in die "Wirbelsohle" eingebracht und ermöglicht eine Vorspannung der Sohle. Dadurch wird die "Wirbelsohle" in den Bereichen ohne "Sticks" bereits leicht vorgebogen und schmiegt sich der natürlichen Wölbung der Fußsohle an. Das ist z.B. besonders hilfreich beim freien Strecken des Fußes!The lower material, the "rubber layer" ( Fig.6 - R ) is resistant and resistant to the top layer ( Figure 4 - U) but elastic. It is fixed at defined points of the "spine". In our design, we show a pure composite of the "rubber layer" with the "spine" ( Fig.2 ). The integrated "rubber layer" engages here with corresponding ribs ( Fig.2 - F ) Like a muscle in every single vertebral body, which are provided with corresponding receiving bays. Now the "rubber layer" with its elastic control can synchronize the individual vertebrae. If the "spine" is bent upwards while walking or in the Demi Pointe, the train on the rubber layer leads to a uniform bending of the whole sole ( Fig.1 - b ). The molded compound of the rubber layer with the "spine", without gluing or mechanical screw, nail or other fasteners, allow a dancer with a few simple steps "rubber layers" with alternative Shore hardness in their sole themselves contribute, which is especially unprecedented for professional dancers Relief represents. When stretched, the integrated "rubber layer", in contrast to flat glued or screwed rubber underlay, also absorbs even more dynamic force, which noticeably returns to the foot during the jump or when moving to the peak position (kangaroo effect). In addition, the integrated "rubber layer" also acts as a mechanical and safe Lock against lateral slippage of "sticks", which are provided with corresponding bays for the "rubber layer" ( Figure 5 - RS). The "rubber layer" is introduced in the stretched state in the "spine" and allows a bias of the sole. As a result, the "spine" in the areas without "sticks" already slightly bent and nestles to the natural curvature of the sole. This is especially helpful when free stretching the foot!

Ohne Sticks und GummilageWithout sticks and rubber layer

Die "Wirbelsohle" erlangt auch ohne "Gummilage" und "Sticks" eine eingeschränkte Funktionalität, indem man die Winkel der Wirbelkörper und das mögliche Biegeverhalten vordefiniert, wobei jedoch die Möglichkeit ausgeschlossen ist, dass der Kunde später die Sohle an seine Fußform und den benötigten Biegewiderstand einstellen kann (Fig.4 - c). In der Produktion wird die Materialdicke der "Wirbelsohle" so gewählt, dass die Sohle eine relative Steifigkeit aufweist, d.h. dass bei durch das Körpergewicht definierten Kräften die Innensohle in beide Richtungen praktisch noch unbiegsam ist. Wird das Material der "Wirbelsohle" nun geschlitzt oder mit Bandscheibenbereichen verzahnt, ist das Material in diesen Wirbelbereichen in die Gegenrichtung der Schlitzungen nun relativ flexibel und wird zur anderen Richtung erst durch das Aufeinandertreffen der Wirbelkörper (Fig.4 - c) begrenzt. Mittels "Sticks" (S) kann aber auch hier das individuelle Biegeverhalten der Sohle ohne Gummilage gesteuert werden. Die Ausführung des "intelligenten Wirbelsohlen Funktionssystems" mit ihren drei funktionellen Grundkomponenten (Fig.2) verspricht jedoch ein feiner zu steuerndes und effektiveres Biegeverhalten der Innensohle!The "spine" obtains even without "rubber layer" and "sticks" limited functionality by predefining the angles of the vertebral bodies and the possible bending behavior, but excluding the possibility that the customer later the sole to his foot shape and the required bending resistance can adjust ( Fig.4 - c ). In production, the material thickness of the "spine" is chosen so that the sole has a relative stiffness, ie that when defined by the body weight forces the insole in both directions is virtually inflexible. If the material of the "spine" now slotted or toothed with intervertebral disc areas, the material in these vortex areas in the opposite direction of the slits is now relatively flexible and is the other direction only by the meeting of the vertebral bodies ( Fig.4 - c ) limited. By means of "sticks" (S), however, the individual bending behavior of the sole without a rubber layer can also be controlled here. The execution of the "intelligent spine functional system" with its three basic functional components ( Fig.2 ) but promises a finer to be controlled and more effective bending behavior of the insole!

Montagesohle mit KlickschieneMounting sole with click rail

Das "intelligente Wirbelsohlen Funktionssystem" bietet auch innovative Lösungen für eine einfache Montage mit dem kompletten Spitzenschuh. Der äußere Spitzenschuh wird am Leisten mit allen Lagen und Kappenaufbauten an einer dünnen und flexiblen Montagesohle (Fig.7 - a) befestigt. Diese innere Montagesohle ist z. B. mit einer Klickschiene (Fig.7 - c) versehen. Die Außensohle wird im bekannten Verfahren auf die Montagesohle geklebt und presst schließlich alle Lagen fest zwischen Montagesohle und Außensohle. Der Leisten wird entfernt. Eine entsprechende Führung in der "Wirbelsohle" (Fig.2 - C) erlaubt es nun, das komplett montierte "Wirbelsohlensystem" in den fertigen Spitzenschuh einzubringen und über die Klickschiene zu schieben. Wenn die "Wirbelsohle" hörbar in den Klickverschluss einrastet ist sie fest mit dem äußeren Spitzenschuh verbunden. Die konkrete technische Ausführung dieses Systems zum Einrasten kann variieren.The "intelligent spine functional system" also offers innovative solutions for easy installation with the complete pointe shoe. The outer pointe shoe is attached to the last with all layers and cap assemblies on a thin and flexible mounting sole ( Fig.7 - a ) attached. This inner mounting sole is z. B. with a click rail ( Fig.7 - c ) Mistake. The outsole is glued in the known method on the mounting base and finally presses all layers firmly between the mounting sole and outsole. The last is removed. A corresponding leadership in the "spine" ( Fig.2 - C) now allows to insert the completely assembled "spine system" into the finished pointe shoe and push it over the click rail. When the "spine" audibly snaps into the click fastener, it is firmly connected to the outer pointe shoe. The specific technical design of this system for locking can vary.

Die "Wirbelsohle" als funktionelles intelligentes System von Innensohlen ist für etliche Anwendungen im allgemeinen, orthopädischen oder auch im Sportschuhbereich vorstellbar. Immer dann wenn komfortable Biegsamkeit im Zusammenspiel mit klar definierbaren Endpunkten der Biegsamkeit benötigt werden, wäre das modifizierte System "Wirbelsohle" eine naheliegende Lösung. Auch der o.g. "Känguru-Effekt" ist im Zusammenhang mit der Lagenstruktur einer Wirbelsohle z.B. auch für Sport- und Laufschuhe vorstellbar!The "spine" as a functional intelligent system of insoles is conceivable for a number of applications in general, orthopedic or in the sports shoe sector. Whenever comfortable flexibility is needed in conjunction with clearly definable endpoints of flexibility, the modified system "spine" would be an obvious solution. Also the o.g. "Kangaroo Effect" is associated with the ply structure of a spine, e.g. also conceivable for sports and running shoes!

Der reine Formverbund der Gummilage mit der "Wirbelsohle" ermöglicht den leichten Austausch von "Gummilagen" (R) mit unterschiedlichen Shore-Härten. Bei Dehnung nimmt die integrierte "Gummilage" noch mehr dynamische Kraft auf, die sie beim Sprung oder beim Übergang zum Spitzenstand spürbar an den Fuß zurückgibt (Känguru Effekt) (Fig.1 - b,c). The "intelligent spine functional system" (FIG. 2) is characterized by: that the components "spine" (B), "sticks" (S) and "rubber layer" (R) in the form of composite can be easily fitted together. Without adhesives, important environmental and health neutrality is achieved for efficient assembly. The molding compound also guarantees a highly functional steerable insole system, which can also be permanently changed by the end user and adapted to their own needs. The "rubber layer" (Fig.2 - R) can be introduced in the pure composite form directly into corresponding bays of the "spine". The protruding rib structure (Fig.2 - F) allows the "rubber layer" as a muscle in the corresponding bays of each vertebral body (V) to grab, to fix themselves there, and to synchronize the vertebral bodies with each other with elastic control. The pure shape of the rubber layer with the "spine" allows easy replacement of "rubber layers" (R) with different Shore hardness. When stretched, the integrated "rubber layer" absorbs even more dynamic force, which noticeably returns to the foot during the jump or the transition to the peak position (kangaroo effect) (Fig.1 - b, c). Die "Sticks" (Fig.2 -S) des "intelligente Wirbelsohlen-Funktionssystems" (nach Anspruch 1) welche wie Bandscheiben in die Zwischenräume (Fig.2 - I) der Wirbelkörper eingebracht oder daraus entfernt werden können, sind dadurch gekennzeichnet: dass sie den Formverbund garantieren, indem sie mittels ihrer Ausbuchtung (Fig.5 - RS) an der integrierten "Gummilage" (R) einrasten können und nicht mehr seitlich verrutschen. Das charakteristische einfache Entfernen oder das Hinzufügen von "Sticks" ist nun ohne Einschränkungen möglich.The "sticks" (FIG. 2 -S) of the "intelligent spinal functional system" (according to claim 1), which can be introduced into or removed from the intervertebral spaces (FIG. 2-I) of the vertebral bodies, are characterized in that: They guarantee the shape of the composite by means of their bulge (Fig.5 - RS) on the integrated "rubber layer" (R) can engage and no longer slip sideways. The characteristic simple removal or addition of "sticks" is now possible without any restrictions. Elastische "Sticks" (S) des "intelligenten Wirbelsohlen-Funktionssystems" (nach Anspruch 1) sind dadurch gekennzeichnet: dass sie für die Winkeldrehungen der Wirbelkörper zueinander ein tolerantes Widerstandsverhalten möglich machen. Anstatt einen "Stick" nun ganz zu entfernen, kann stattdessen nun auch ein elastischer "Stick" eingesetzt werden um so z.B. unter der Fußsohle und Ferse einen variablen und Stoß absorbierenden Gegendruck zu erzeugen. Wenn Zwischenräume nicht leer gelassen, sondern elastische "Sticks" eingefügt werden, folgt die Innensohle nun mit komfortablen Druck den Bewegungen der Fußsohle.Elastic "sticks" (S) of the "intelligent spine functional system" (according to claim 1) are characterized in that they make a tolerant resistance behavior possible for the angular rotations of the vertebral bodies relative to one another. Instead of removing a "stick" completely, an elastic "stick" can now be used instead, for example to create a variable and shock-absorbing back pressure under the sole and heel of the foot. If gaps are not left blank but elastic "sticks" are inserted, the insole now follows the movements of the sole of the foot with comfortable pressure. Das "Wirbelsohlen Funktionssystem" ohne Gummilage - ist dadurch gekennzeichnet: dass es mit eingeschränkter Funktionalität auch möglich ist, die nötige Gegenspannung der "Wirbelsohle" nur durch das gewählte Material und die Materialdicke oberhalb der Wirbelstruktur zu definieren (Fig.4 - c). Diese solitäre "Wirbelsohle" definiert ihr Biegeverhalten allein über die Winkel (Fig.4 - A) und den Abstand der Wirbelkörper (V) oder auch mittels optionaler "Sticks" (S).The "spine functional system" without rubber layer - is characterized by the fact that it is also possible with limited functionality to define the necessary counter tension of the "spine" only by the selected material and the material thickness above the vertebral structure (Figure 4 - c). This solitary "spine" defines its bending behavior solely through the angles (Fig.4 - A) and the distance of the vertebral bodies (V) or by means of optional "sticks" (S). Der Einsatz einer dünnen und flexiblen "Montagesohle mit Klickschiene" (Fig.7) im "intelligenten Wirbelsohlen-Funktionssystems" (nach Anspruch 1) ist dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass es nun möglich ist, die "Wirbelsohle" über ein Einrastsystem, welches verschiedene technische Ausführungen haben kann, leicht in den bereits fertig montierten äußeren Spitzenschuh einzubringen und bei Bedarf, wie zum Wechsel von "Gummilagen" mit unterschiedlichen Shore-Härten oder bei Verschleiß des äußeren Spitzenschuhs, auch wieder aus ihm zu entfernen.The use of a thin and flexible "mounting sole with click rail" (Fig.7) in "intelligent spine functional system" (claim 1) is characterized in that it is now possible, the "spine" on a Einrastsystem which various technical designs can have easy to bring in the already assembled outer pointe shoe and if necessary, such as to change "rubber layers" with different Shore hardness or wear of the outer pointe shoe, to remove it again. Das "intelligente Wirbelsohlen Funktionssystem" (nach Anspruch 1-5) ist neben dem Einsatz im Spitzenschuh des Balletts auch für orthopädische Schuhe, sowie im Sport - oder Modeschuhbereich anwendbar. Ganz gleich, welche Materialien verwendet werden - immer dann, wenn einerseits Flexibilität der Innensohle und andererseits definierbare Endpunkte ihrer Biegefähigkeit erwünscht sind, ist das System eine naheliegende Lösung.The "intelligent spine functional system" (according to claim 1-5) is in addition to the use in the top shoe of the ballet also for orthopedic shoes, as well as in sports or fashion shoe area applicable. Regardless of which materials are used - whenever flexibility of the insole and definable endpoints of its flexibility are desired, the system is an obvious solution.
