Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Einlegesohle für einen Schuh, insbesondere für einen Sportschuh, umfassend einen ersten Sohlenabschnitt, der eine Auftrittsfläche für den Fuß des Benutzers aufweist, wobei sich der erste Sohlenabschnitt bei bestimmungsgemäßer Verwendung der Einlegesohle über eine vorgegebene erste Höhe in vertikaler Richtung ausdehnt.The invention relates to an insole for a shoe, in particular for a sports shoe, comprising a first sole section which has a tread surface for the foot of the user, the first sole section expanding in the vertical direction over a predetermined first height when the insole is used as intended.

Ein solcher Schuh wird beispielsweise in der US 2006/265900 A1 offenbart.Such a shoe is used, for example, in the US 2006/265900 A1 disclosed.

Es ist im Stand der Technik hinlänglich bekannt, in einem Schuh eine Einlegesohle zu platzieren, auf der die Fußsohle des Benutzers bei bestimmungsgemäßer Benutzung des Schuhs ruht. Eine solche Einlegesohle kann beispielsweise als ebenes Element aus Schaumstoff ausgebildet sein, das sich unter Belastung mit dem Fuß des Benutzers der unter ihr liegenden Brandsohle, Zwischensohle oder Außensohle des Schuhs anpasst. Möglich sind auch Ausgestaltungen von Einlegesohlen, die eine dreidimensionale Gestaltung haben und für den Fuß des Benutzers eine gewisse Schalenstruktur bilden.It is well known in the prior art to place an insole in a shoe on which the sole of the foot of the user rests when the shoe is used as intended. Such an insole can be formed, for example, as a flat element made of foam, which, when loaded with the user's foot, adapts to the insole, midsole or outsole of the shoe beneath it. Embodiments of insoles are also possible, which have a three-dimensional design and form a certain shell structure for the user's foot.

Bei der Benutzung eines Schuhs tritt immer wieder der Fall auf, dies ist insbesondere beim Fußballspielen häufig gegeben, dass Feuchtigkeit in den Schuh eindringt, wobei Wasser insbesondere in den Bereich zwischen die Einlegesohle und die Brandsohle bzw. die Zwischensohle gelangen kann. Speziell bei Fußballschuhen, die meist regelmäßig feucht bzw. nass werden, besteht somit die Gefahr, dass sich zwischen dem Schaftboden (d. h. der Brandsohle) und der Einlegesohle Keime bzw. Schimmel bilden, da keine ausreichende Belüftung vorhanden ist.The case occurs again and again when using a shoe, this is often the case, especially when playing football, that moisture in the Shoe penetrates, water in particular can get into the area between the insole and the insole or the midsole. Especially with soccer shoes, which usually get damp or wet regularly, there is a risk that germs or mold will form between the shaft bottom (ie the insole) and the insole, as there is insufficient ventilation.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine gattungsgemäße Einlegesohle zur Benutzung in einem Schuh, insbesondere in einem Sportschuh, so fortzubilden, dass die Trocknung des Schuhs mit einfachen Mitteln in verbesserter Weise erfolgen kann. Hiermit soll erreicht werden, dass sich Keime bzw. Schimmel nicht mehr so leicht bilden können. Es soll also ein verbesserter Trocknungseffekt erreichbar sein, der mit geringem wirtschaftlichem Einsatz zu erzielen ist.The invention has for its object to develop a generic insole for use in a shoe, in particular in a sports shoe, so that the drying of the shoe can be done in an improved manner with simple means. This is to ensure that germs or mold can no longer form so easily. It should therefore be possible to achieve an improved drying effect which can be achieved with little economic use.

Die Lösung dieser Aufgabe durch die Erfindung ist dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass unterhalb des ersten Sohlenabschnitts mindestens zwei zweite Sohlenabschnitte angeordnet sind, wobei ein zweiter Sohlenabschnitt, gesehen in Sohlenlängsrichtung, in einem vorderen Abschnitt der Einlegesohle und ein zweiter Sohlenabschnitt in einem hinteren Abschnitt der Einlegesohle angeordnet ist, wobei sich die beiden zweiten Sohlenabschnitte bei bestimmungsgemäßer Verwendung der Einlegesohle über eine vorgegebene zweite Höhe in vertikaler Richtung ausdehnen, wobei mindestens ein elastisches Element vorhanden ist, das die beiden zweiten Sohlenabschnitte verbindet, wobei das elastische Element innerhalb der Erstreckung der zweiten Höhe mit seinen beiden Enden je an einem der beiden zweiten Sohlenabschnitte angreift.The achievement of this object by the invention is characterized in that at least two second sole sections are arranged below the first sole section, a second sole section, viewed in the longitudinal direction of the sole, being arranged in a front section of the insole and a second sole section in a rear section of the insole , wherein the two second sole sections expand when the insole is used as intended over a predetermined second height in the vertical direction, at least one elastic element being present which connects the two second sole sections, the elastic element within the extent of the second height with its two Each end engages on one of the two second sole sections.

Das mindestens eine elastische Element verläuft dabei bevorzugt in Sohlenlängsrichtung.The at least one elastic element preferably runs in the longitudinal direction of the sole.

Das mindestens eine elastische Element ist bevorzugt als Gummiband ausgebildet, was wirtschaftlich vorteilhaft ist, da solche Bänder günstig zur Verfügung stehen. Das Gummiband ist dabei bevorzugt als flaches Band ausgebildet. In diesem Falle ist bevorzugt vorgesehen, dass die Höhe des Gummibands höchstens 30 %, vorzugsweise höchstens 20 %, der Breite des Gummibands beträgt.The at least one elastic element is preferably designed as a rubber band, which is economically advantageous since such bands are cheaply available. The rubber band is preferably designed as a flat band. In this case, it is preferably provided that the height of the rubber band is at most 30%, preferably at most 20%, of the width of the rubber band.

Gemäß einer bevorzugten Ausgestaltung der Erfindung sind zwei parallel zueinander verlaufende elastische Elemente angeordnet.According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, two elastic elements running parallel to one another are arranged.

Das mindestens eine elastische Element kann im Bereich seiner Enden an den ersten Sohlenabschnitt angrenzen.The at least one elastic element can adjoin the first sole section in the region of its ends.

Die beiden zweiten Sohlenabschnitte sind bevorzugt so an der Einlegesohle angeordnet, dass sie zwischen sich einen Bereich belassen, der frei von einem zweiten Sohlenabschnitt ist. Hierbei kann vorgesehen sein, dass die Biegesteifigkeit des ersten Sohlenabschnitts um eine horizontale Achse quer zur Sohlenlängsrichtung so gering gewählt ist, dass beim Fehlen äußerer Kräfte auf die Einlegesohle das mindestens eine elastische Element die Einlegesohle V-förmig verformt. Dabei reicht es, wenn eine Stellung eingenommen wird, bei der die beiden Schenkel der V-förmigen Struktur (in der Seitenansicht betrachtet) einen Winkel von ca. 160° einschließen.The two second sole sections are preferably arranged on the insole in such a way that they leave an area between them which is free of a second sole section. It can be provided here that the bending stiffness of the first sole section about a horizontal axis transverse to the longitudinal direction of the sole is chosen so low that in the absence of external forces on the insole, the at least one elastic element deforms the insole in a V-shape. It is sufficient if a position is adopted in which the two legs of the V-shaped structure (viewed in the side view) enclose an angle of approximately 160 °.

Der im vorderen Abschnitt angeordnete zweite Sohlenabschnitt kann sich bevorzugt mindestens über ein Drittel der Erstreckung in Sohlenlängsrichtung ausdehnen. Indes kann sich der im hinteren Abschnitt angeordnete zweite Sohlenabschnitt mindestens über ein Viertel der Erstreckung in Sohlenlängsrichtung ausdehnen.The second sole section arranged in the front section can preferably extend at least over a third of the extent in the longitudinal direction of the sole. However, the second located in the rear section can Extend the sole section at least over a quarter of the extent in the longitudinal direction of the sole.

Der erste Sohlenabschnitt und die zweiten Sohlenabschnitte sind bevorzugt als separate Teile ausgebildet, die miteinander verbunden, insbesondere verklebt, sind. Hierbei kann vorgesehen sein, dass die zweiten Sohlenabschnitte aus einem flächigen Material weitgehend konstanter Dicke bestehen. Ferner hat es sich bewährt, dass die zweiten Sohlenabschnitte aus einem Schaumstoff bestehen, der mit einer Vielzahl von Lüftungsausnehmungen versehen ist.The first sole section and the second sole sections are preferably designed as separate parts which are connected to one another, in particular glued. It can be provided here that the second sole sections consist of a flat material of largely constant thickness. It has also proven useful that the second sole sections consist of a foam which is provided with a plurality of ventilation recesses.

Der erste Sohlenabschnitt ist nach einer speziellen Ausführungsform der Erfindung als 3-dimensional ausgebildetes Formteil mit schalenförmigem Fersenbereich ausgeführt. Hieraus ergibt sich, dass natürlich die vertikale Höhe des ersten Sohlenabschnitts entlang der Sohlenlängsrichtung keineswegs konstant sein muss.According to a special embodiment of the invention, the first sole section is designed as a 3-dimensional molded part with a cup-shaped heel area. It follows from this that the vertical height of the first sole section along the longitudinal direction of the sole need not be constant.

Somit kommt gemäß der Erfindung ein elastisches Element (Federelement, vorzugsweise in Form mindestens eines Gummibandes) zum Einsatz, das so an der Einlegesohle angeordnet bzw. in diese integriert ist, dass bei Nichtbenutzung des Schuhs und damit bei gegebener Freiheit der Einlegesohle von äußeren Kräften diese sich aufwölben kann, so dass sie von der Brandsohle, Zwischensohle bzw. Außensohle abhebt und den Zutritt von Luft zwecks Trocknung des Schuhs ermöglicht.Thus, according to the invention, an elastic element (spring element, preferably in the form of at least one rubber band) is used, which is arranged on the insole or integrated into it in such a way that when the shoe is not in use and thus the insole is free from external forces can bulge out so that it lifts off the insole, midsole or outsole and allows air to enter to dry the shoe.

Durch die Gewichtskraft des Trägers des Schuhs liegt bei bestimmungsgemäßer Benutzung des Schuhs bzw. der Einlegesohle letztere indes auf der Brandsohle, Zwischensohle bzw. Außensohle auf, so dass keine Beeinträchtigung der Benutzung des Schuhs gegeben ist.Due to the weight of the wearer of the shoe, when the shoe or the insole is used as intended, the latter rests on the insole, midsole or outsole, so that there is no impairment of the use of the shoe.

Die vorgeschlagene Einlegesohle bewirkt somit, dass sich nach dem Ausziehen des Schuhs zwischen dem unteren Sohlenelement und der Einlegesohle eine Öffnung für die Frischluftzufuhr bildet, die den Trocknungsvorgang wesentlich begünstigt.The proposed insole thus has the effect that, after the shoe has been removed, an opening for the supply of fresh air is formed between the lower sole element and the insole, which significantly promotes the drying process.

Die vorgeschlagene Einlegesohle kommt bevorzugt in einem Sportschuh zum Einsatz, wobei insbesondere hier an einen Fußballschuh gedacht ist, der häufig einer Beaufschlagung durch Feuchtigkeit ausgesetzt ist. Um einen verbesserten Trocknungseffekt zu erzielen, sieht die erfindungsgemäße Idee also vor, dass die Einlegesohle mit einem Federelement derart vorgespannt wird, dass sich diese nach dem Ausziehen des Schuhs automatisch abhebt und so der Bereich zwischen Einlegesohle und Brandsohle zumindest teilweise freigelegt wird. Vorhandene Feuchtigkeit in diesem Bereich kann besser verdunsten. D. h. durch das elastische Element kann sich die Einlegesohle aufwölben. In vorteilhafter Weise erfolgt in wesentlich einfacherer Weise eine Trocknung sowohl der Unterseite der Einlegesohle als auch des Schaftbodens.The proposed insole is preferably used in a sports shoe, with a soccer shoe in particular being considered here, which is often exposed to moisture. In order to achieve an improved drying effect, the idea according to the invention therefore provides that the insole is pretensioned with a spring element in such a way that it automatically lifts off after the shoe is removed and the area between the insole and the insole is at least partially exposed. Existing moisture in this area can evaporate better. That is, the insole can bulge due to the elastic element. Advantageously, drying of both the underside of the insole and the upper of the upper takes place in a substantially simpler manner.

In der Zeichnung ist ein Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung dargestellt. Es zeigen:

In the drawing, an embodiment of the invention is shown. Show it:
Fig. 1
the side view of an insole, which rests on the floor and is free of external forces, and
Fig. 2
the view of the insole according to Figure 1 viewed from below.

In den Figuren ist eine Einlegesohle 1 dargestellt, die in einem Schuh, insbesondere in einem Sportschuh, verwendet werden kann. Die Einlegesohle 1 hat einen ersten durchgängig ausgebildeten ersten Sohlenabschnitt 2, der eine Auftrittsfläche 3 für die Fußsohle des Trägers aufweist. An der Unterseite des ersten Sohlenabschnitts 2 sind zwei zweite Sohlenabschnitte 4 und 5 angeordnet. Der eine zweite Sohlenabschnitt 4 ist im vorderen Abschnitt 6 der Einlegesohle 1 platziert; der andere zweite Sohlenabschnitt 5 ist im hinteren Abschnitt 7 der Einlegesohle 1 angeordnet.In the figures, an insole 1 is shown, which can be used in a shoe, in particular in a sports shoe. The insole 1 has a first continuous first sole section 2 which has a tread surface 3 for the sole of the wearer's foot. On the underside of the first sole section 2, two second sole sections 4 and 5 are arranged. One second sole section 4 is placed in the front section 6 of the insole 1; the other second sole section 5 is arranged in the rear section 7 of the insole 1.

Bei den beiden Sohlenabschnitten 4 und 5 handelt es sich um separate Formteile, die an der Unterseite des ersten Sohlenabschnitts 2 angebracht sind; dabei sind konkret die beiden zweiten Sohlenabschnitte 4 und 5 an der Unterseite des ersten Sohlenabschnitts 2 angeklebt.The two sole sections 4 and 5 are separate molded parts which are attached to the underside of the first sole section 2; specifically, the two second sole sections 4 and 5 are glued to the underside of the first sole section 2.

Der erste Sohlenabschnitt 2 weist eine erste Höhe h1 auf, die entlang der Sohlenlängsrichtung L variabel ist. Bei der Höhe h1 handelt es sich um die Erstreckung in vertikaler Richtung V, die gemessen wird, wenn die Einlegesohle 1 bestimmungsgemäß verwendet wird (und somit flach auf dem Boden aufliegt). In Figur 1 ist indes der Zustand dargestellt, der sich für die Einlegesohle 1 ergibt, wenn diese frei von äußeren Kräften ist. Wie zu sehen ist, nimmt die Einlegesohle 1 in diesem Falle eine etwa V-förmige Kontur - gesehen in der Seitenansicht gemäß Figur 1 - ein, so dass sie sich also aufwölbt und im Sinne der obigen Erläuterungen erlaubt, dass Luft unter die Einlegesohle 1 gelangt und so zur verbesserten Trocknung des Schuhs, in der die Einlegesohle 1 verwendet wird, beiträgt.The first sole section 2 has a first height h 1 , which is variable along the longitudinal direction L of the sole. The height h 1 is the extent in the vertical direction V, which is measured when the insole 1 is used as intended (and thus lies flat on the floor). In Figure 1 the state is shown, which results for the insole 1 when it is free of external forces. As can be seen, the insole 1 takes an approximately V-shaped contour in this case - seen in the side view according to Figure 1 - A, so that it bulges and allows in the sense of the above explanations that air gets under the insole 1 and thus contributes to the improved drying of the shoe in which the insole 1 is used.

Damit besagte Aufwölbung im Falle der Freiheit von äußeren Kräften erfolgt, sind zwischen den beiden zweiten Sohlenabschnitten 4 und 5 elastische Elemente 8 wirksam angeordnet, die dafür sorgen, dass die beiden zweiten Sohlenabschnitte 4 und 5 in Sohlenlängsrichtung L zusammengezogen werden. Die elastischen Elemente 8 sind vorhanden, um die beiden zweiten Sohlenabschnitte 4 und 5 miteinander zu verbinden, wobei die elastischen Elemente 8 innerhalb der Erstreckung der zweiten Höhe h2 mit ihren beiden Enden 9 und 10 jeweils an den beiden zweiten Sohlenabschnitten 4 und 5 angreifen. Somit ergibt sich, dass beim Fehlen äußerer Kräfte die in Figur 1 dargestellte Form der Einlegesohle 1 eingenommen wird.So that said bulging takes place in the event of freedom from external forces, elastic elements 8 are effectively arranged between the two second sole sections 4 and 5, which ensure that the two second sole sections 4 and 5 are contracted in the longitudinal direction L of the sole. The elastic elements 8 are provided to connect the two second sole sections 4 and 5 to each other, the elastic Attack elements 8 within the extent of the second height h 2 with their two ends 9 and 10 on the two second sole sections 4 and 5, respectively. This means that in the absence of external forces, the in Figure 1 shown form of the insole 1 is taken.

Wie in der Zusammenschau der Figuren 1 und 2 gesehen werden kann, sind die beiden elastischen Elemente 8 im Ausführungsbeispiel als Gummibänder ausgebildet, die mit ihren Enden 9 bzw. 10 an den beiden Sohlenabschnitten 4 bzw. 5 angreifen. Zwischen den beiden Sohlenabschnitten 4 und 5 verbleibt ein freier Bereich 11, in dem lediglich die beiden elastischen Elemente 8 angeordnet sind.As in the synopsis of Figures 1 and 2nd can be seen, the two elastic elements 8 are formed in the exemplary embodiment as rubber bands which engage with their ends 9 and 10 on the two sole sections 4 and 5, respectively. Between the two sole sections 4 and 5 there remains a free area 11 in which only the two elastic elements 8 are arranged.

Wie in Figur 1 zu erkennen ist, weist der erste Sohlenabschnitt 2, wie bereits erwähnt, eine erste Höhe h1 auf, die allerdings entlang der Sohlenlängsrichtung L nicht konstant ist, wie sich sofort aus Figur 1 ergibt. Die beiden zweiten Sohlenabschnitte 4 und 5 haben indes im Ausführungsbeispiel eine konstante zweite Höhe h2.As in Figure 1 As can be seen, the first sole section 2 has, as already mentioned, a first height h 1 , which, however, is not constant along the longitudinal direction L of the sole, as is immediately apparent Figure 1 results. In the exemplary embodiment, however, the two second sole sections 4 and 5 have a constant second height h 2 .

Wie in Figur 1 gesehen werden kann, greifen die elastischen Elemente 8 im Ausführungsbeispiel im Übergangsbereich zwischen dem ersten Sohlenabschnitt 2 und dem jeweiligen zweiten Sohlenabschnitt 4 bzw. 5 an und entfalten zwischen ihren beiden Enden 9 und 10 eine Zugkraft.As in Figure 1 can be seen, the elastic elements 8 engage in the exemplary embodiment in the transition region between the first sole section 2 and the respective second sole section 4 or 5 and develop a tensile force between their two ends 9 and 10.

Erzeugt wird diese durch die Ausbildung der elastischen Elemente 8 als Gummibänder mit einer Höhe H und einer Breite B, wie es aus Figur 2 hervorgeht.This is generated by the formation of the elastic elements 8 as rubber bands with a height H and a width B, as it is made of Figure 2 emerges.

Der erste Sohlenabschnitt 2 ist vorliegend als 3-dimensionales Formteil ausgebildet, der im Vorderfußbereich zwar eine weitgehend ebene Form aufweist, im Hinterfußbereich jedoch einen schalenförmigen Fersenbereich 13 aufweist.In the present case, the first sole section 2 is designed as a 3-dimensional molded part, which in the forefoot area has a largely flat shape has, but has a cup-shaped heel area 13 in the rear foot area.

Die beiden zweiten Sohlenabschnitte 4 und 5 haben im wesentlichen eine weitgehend ebene Grundkontur und bestehen im Ausführungsbeispiel aus einem Schaumstoff, der mit einer Anzahl Lüftungsausnehmungen 12 versehen ist; dies ist in Figur 2 für einen kleinen Ausschnitt im zweiten Sohlenabschnitt 5 illustriert.The two second sole sections 4 and 5 essentially have a largely flat basic contour and, in the exemplary embodiment, consist of a foam which is provided with a number of ventilation recesses 12; this is in Figure 2 illustrated for a small section in the second sole section 5.

Durch die erläuterte Konzeption wird erreicht, dass infolge der beiden elastischen Elemente 8 ein Biegemoment erzeugt wird, dass um die Achse Q quer zur Sohlenlängsrichtung L wirkt und die Einlegesohle 1 im Falle dessen, dass keine äußeren Kräfte auf sie wirken, in die in Figur 1 dargestellte Form gebracht wird, d. h. die Einlegesohle 1 wölbt sich auf und erlaubt den Zutritt von Luft in den Bereich zwischen der Unterseite der Einlegesohle 1 und der (nicht dargestellten) Brandsohle, Zwischensohle oder Außensohle, auf der sie bei bestimmungsgemäßem Gebrauch aufliegt.The concept explained explains that a bending moment is generated as a result of the two elastic elements 8, which acts transversely to the longitudinal direction L of the sole around the axis Q, and the insole 1, in the event that no external forces act on it, into the Figure 1 is brought shape, ie the insole 1 bulges and allows air to enter the area between the underside of the insole 1 and the (not shown) insole, midsole or outsole on which it rests when used as intended.

Auf diese Weise wird eine Einlegesohle 1 geschaffen, die kostengünstig herstellbar ist und bei Nichtbenutzung des Schuhs, in dem sie benutzt wird, eine verbesserte Trocknung desselben erlaubt.In this way, an insole 1 is created which is inexpensive to manufacture and, when the shoe in which it is not in use, permits improved drying thereof.
