Definitions

  • the invention relates to a floating shoe for learning or for supporting the leg stroke for the breaststroke, according to the preamble of claim 1 and a manufacturing process of the floating shoe, according to claim 18.
  • Such swimming shoes are known for example from the documents DE 26 58 584 A1 and DE 10 2007 003 508 B3. They are used as swimming and learning aids, on the one hand to facilitate the learning of swimming and on the other hand practice a proper breaststroke technique and also to check continuously.
  • the Hinge-like joint means formed even in this known case of two textile bands, of which the one textile band on the inside of the joint to the sole of the shoe body and the top of the sole flap and the other textile band on the outside of the joint on a flap nose and on the side surface of the shoe body is arranged.
  • the textile bands are attached to the respective sections, for example, with a high-strength adhesive.
  • this known floating shoe has manually operated fixation devices with which the sole flap is kept substantially parallel to the bottom surface of the shoe body when walking outside the swimming pool.
  • the invention is therefore the object of developing a generic float shoe such that it ensures a long-term function with great ease of use with a simplified structure.
  • an elastic tab is used in the joint assembly, via which the sole flap is connected to the shoe body, wherein the tab presses the sole flap elastically with bias on a bottom surface of the shoe body.
  • the elastic tab stores energy in the form of biasing force which is utilized to pivot the sole flap back onto the shoe body.
  • the pivoting angle is limited by the stop of the sole flap or the tab on the shoe body, but not by the elastic limit of the tab. This results in the advantage that the tab does not reach its elastic limit and thus the life of the tab is extended.
  • the lug By means of the lug formed integrally with the shoe body, the lug can be manufactured as a part with the shoe body according to claim 4. This reduces the production costs and the cost.
  • the tab is attached separately to the shoe body.
  • the tab can be formed, for example, by a reinforced and possibly more expensive material to provide a secure function, while the shoe body can be formed by a non-reinforced optimized for comfort and thus usually cheaper material.
  • the pivotable section can be divided into a plurality of fastening tongues, to which different functions can be assigned. This results in a further increase in the flexibility of the design.
  • biasing tongue provides a further supporting force which acts on the sole flap, wherein attachment of the pretensioning tongue to the sole flap can be dispensed with.
  • the sole flap can be mounted and replaced with the tab.
  • claim 1 has the advantage that the sole flap is prevented from changing its shape when deflecting and swinging.
  • the ribs an anti-slip function can be transmitted.
  • the ribs extend in the transverse direction of the shoe body. With such an extension direction of the ribs, the sole flap obtains its required rigidity to support the leg strike, while not hindering a rolling movement of the float shoe while running. User security is therefore improved.
  • the tab is on the one hand made by injection molding integral with the shoe body, and it is for a pair of floating shoes only one injection mold for the two shoe body, the right and left Shoe body, required. This leads to an economical production.
  • the tab and the shoe body are separately manufactured by injection molding, they can be formed by various materials. Also in this manufacturing process only one shoe body, a single flap and - for the second embodiment with the interspersed fastening tongues - a single sole flap is required, which can be used for the two shoes, the left shoe as the right shoe. This leads to a further simplification of the production. Embodiments of the invention will be explained in more detail with reference to schematic drawings. Show it:
  • Figure 1 is a perspective view of a floating shoe according to the invention for the right foot according to a first embodiment
  • Figure 2 is a view of the floating shoe according to the first embodiment from below;

  • FIG. 13 is a perspective view, somewhat to an enlarged scale, of a variant of the second embodiment of the sole flap, similar to FIG. 12; and FIG. 14 is a perspective view of the sole flap according to FIG. 13 seen from below.
  • the reference numeral 10 designates a float shoe, more specifically the right float shoe, for learning or for supporting the breaststroke admixture.
  • the left swimming shoe is omitted here, as he is designed in mirror image to the right swimming shoe.
  • the floating shoe 10 consists mainly of two parts, namely the actual shoe body 12 and a connected via a still closer to be described hinge assembly 18 attached sole flap 14th is shown separately in Figures 6 and 7.
  • the hinge assembly 18 has an elastic tab 20, via which the sole flap 14 is connected to the shoe body 12, wherein the tab 20 elastically presses the sole flap 14 biased against a bottom surface 32 of the shoe body 12 by its flexurally elastic deformation.
  • the elastic flap 20 builds upon pivoting the sole flap 14 away from the shoe body 12 under further flexurally elastic deformation on a bias, which is used to pivot back the sole flap 14 on the shoe body 12.
  • the tab 20 is made integral with the shoe body 12 by injection molding, i. molded on the shoe body.
  • the shoe body 12 with the tab 20 is formed of a thermoplastic elastomer, preferably a thermoplastic urethane-based elastomer (TPU).
  • TPU thermoplastic urethane-based elastomer
  • the sole flap 14 is formed as a plastic injection molded part.
  • FIG. 5 shows the elastic tab 20 in a relaxed state, that is, for example, in the form in which it comes out of the injection mold together with the shoe body.
  • the sole flap is not mounted yet.
  • the tab is still unprocessed.
  • part of the elastic flap 20 projects over the bottom surface 32 of the shoe body 12.
  • the portion of the flap 20 projecting beyond the bottom surface is bent outwardly in the assembled state of the sole flap and connected to the sole flap 14.
  • the tab 20 builds up a biasing force over which the sole flap 14 is elastically pressed against the bottom surface 32 of the shoe body 12.
  • This protruding portion of the tab 20 forms a pivotable portion 30, which can pivot together with the sole flap 14 during kick by water resistance.
  • the portion that does not project beyond the bottom surface 32 forms a non-pivotable portion 28 that is connected to the shoe body 12.
  • a pivot axis 16 of the hinge assembly 18 lies between the pivotable portion 30 and the non-pivoting portion 28.
  • the tab 20 in the form of a material lamination has a uniform wall thickness and
  • the tab does not necessarily have to be formed everywhere with the same wall thickness.
  • a reinforcing rib 60 may be formed between the pivotable portion 30 and the non-pivoting portion 28 that extends along the pivot axis 16 (this variant is indicated by dashed lines in FIG. 5).
  • Figure 2 shows a view of the floating shoe 10 according to the first embodiment from below.
  • the sole flap 14 has an outer portion 22 to which the pivotable portion 30 of the tab 20 is attached, and an inner portion 24 which rests retired on the bottom surface 32 of the shoe body 12.
  • the sections 22 and 24 are separated from each other by the pivot axis 16.
  • the sole flap 14 as best seen in FIGS. 6 and 7, has a bridge 26 projecting upwardly from the sole flap 14, which includes a first end portion 34, a second end portion 36 and a base 38, whereby between the bridge 26 and the outer portion 22, a slot 40 is formed, in which the pivotable portion 30 of the tab 20 can be inserted as a fastening tongue 42, as shown in Figures 3 and 4.
  • the fastening tongue 42 is inserted from the inside into the slot 40.
  • the outer contour of the fastening tongue 42 thus follows the contour of the slot 40.
  • the fastening tongue 42 and thus the tab 20 can be detachably connected to the sole flap 14.
  • the apertures 58, 59, 61 are matched to one another in terms of their position, that - as shown in Fig. 3 - the sole flap 14 rests flat on the bottom surface 32.
  • the three connection points are formed substantially along the longitudinal direction of the floating shoe 10.
  • the tab 20 is thus positioned by the bridge 26 and connected in a sandwich-like arrangement to the sole flap 14.
  • FIG. 3 shows the condition of the floating shoe 10 with the sole flap 14 mounted. It can be seen that the sole flap 14 is pressed flat against the bottom surface 32 of the shoe body 12 with prestressing in the swiveling portion 30 of the flap 20 bent outward by about 90 °. The sole flap 14 can also project slightly beyond the bottom surface contour on the side opposite the joint arrangement. If the leg bite is listed correctly, the sole flap will open due to the water resistance. As long as the water pressure is higher than the biasing force of the tab 20, the water is forced into the space between the sole flap 14 and the bottom surface 32 of the floating shoe 10, whereby the sole flap 14 is pressed by the water resistance by 90 ° and a top 27 of the bridge 26th the side wall of the shoe body 12 strikes.
  • the almost non-resistively hinged sole flap 14 closes due to the flow resistance and bias of the flap 20, while the water flows out of the space between the sole flap 14 and the bottom surface 32 of the floating shoe 12 is urged. In the subsequent circular swing movement to the extension of the legs, the sole flap 14 is opened again. Thus, the swimmer feels very quickly whether his foot position is right or wrong.
  • the sole flap 14 further includes a plurality of ribs 44. These ribs 44 are formed on the underside 47 of the sole flap 14 and extend transversely to the longitudinal axis of the Shoe body 12. Selected ribs 62 of the ribs 44 extend through the three joints. When the swimmer wears the swimming shoes and goes out of the water, the sole flap lies against the bottom surface of the shoe body with bias of the flap. The bias of the tab and the transversely extending ribs prevent the sole flap from inadvertently deflecting, while a rolling movement of the floating shoe is unobstructed due to the transversely extending ribs. As shown in Figure 2, the outer portion 22 of the sole flap 14 also has two recesses 46 formed below the bridge 26 between the three ribs 62 extending through the three connection points.
  • the shoe body 12 is formed symmetrically with respect to a longitudinal center axis MA. In this way, it is possible for a left and a right float shoe, an identical S p ri tzg e e ßwe rkze u g to use.
  • FIGS. 8 to 12 of the floating shoe according to the second embodiment are given similar reference numerals but preceded by a "1."
  • Figure 8 is a perspective view of a right foot float shoe 10 according to a second embodiment 8, the floating shoe 10 mainly consists of two parts, namely the actual shoe body 12 and a sole flap 14 which is connected thereto via a hinge arrangement 18 to be described in greater detail, which is shown separately in FIG 120, over which the sole flap 1 14 is connected to the shoe body 12, wherein the tab 120 elastically presses the sole flap 1 14 with a bottom surface 32 of the shoe body 12.
  • the tab 120 is again made integral with the shoe body 12 by injection molding.
  • the shoe body 12 with the tab 120 is made of a thermoplastic elastomer, preferably a thermoplastic
  • Urethane-based elastomer (TPU) is formed.
  • the sole flap is designed as a plastic injection-molded part.
  • the overhanging portion of the tab 120 is bent outwardly in the mounted state of the sole flap and connected to the sole flap 14.
  • This section forms a pivotable portion 130, which can pivot together with sole flap 1 14 when kicked by water resistance.
  • the portion that does not project beyond the bottom surface 32 forms a non-pivotable portion 28 that is connected to the shoe body 12.
  • a pivot axis 16 of the hinge assembly 18 lies between the pivotable portion 130 and the non-pivoting portion 128.
  • the tab 120 has a uniform wall thickness in the form of a material flap and, depending on the material, a thickness d in the range from 3 mm to 5 mm.
  • FIG. 9 shows a bottom view of the floating shoe 10 according to the second embodiment.
  • the sole flap 1 14 has an outer portion 122, to which the pivotable portion 130 of the tab 120 is attached, and an inner portion 124, which rests on the bottom surface 32 of the shoe body 12 in retirement.
  • the sections 122 and 124 are separated by the pivot axis 1 16.
  • the sole flap 1 14 two rows of slots, each containing an inner slot 50 and an outer slot 52 in the transverse direction to the longitudinal direction of the shoe body.
  • the pivotable portion 130 of the tab 120 has two attachment tabs 142.
  • the fastening tongue 142 is braided into the slots. More specifically, the attachment tabs 142 are each inserted from above into the corresponding inner slot 50 and then inserted from below into the corresponding outer slot 52.
  • the fastening tongues 142, and thus the tab 120, can be detachably connected to the sole flap 114.
  • two drilled openings or bores 161 are formed on the outer portion 122 of the sole flap 1 14 and two drilled openings or holes 159 on an end portion 143 of the fastening tongue 142 of the tab 120, each aligned with each other and in each of which a pin or Bolt can be inserted.
  • the apertures 159, 161 are coordinated with respect to their position in such a way that - as shown in Fig. 10 - the sole flap 1 14 rests flat on the bottom surface 32.
  • the two connection points are formed substantially along the longitudinal direction of the floating shoe 10.
  • the sole flap 14 further includes a plurality of ribs 144. These ribs 144 are formed on the underside 147 of the sole flap 1 14 and extend transversely to the longitudinal axis of the shoe body 12th As best seen in FIG. 10, the shoe body 12 is formed symmetrically with respect to a longitudinal center axis MA. In this way, it is possible for a left and a right floating shoe to use an identical injection mold.
  • the function supporting the kick of the breaststroke pupil is maintained over the simplified structure with the elastic tab for a long time.
  • the floating shoe can be kept relatively small, and the production of the floating shoe is further simplified compared to previous solutions. Due to the construction of the hinge assembly with the elastic tab, the sole flap, which is in the non-pivoted state, remains secure even when walking outside the water in a neutral position near the shoe body, so that the joint is protected and the risk of falling is reduced.
  • the float shoe is characterized by a greatly improved wearing comfort, especially when walking with the float shoe.
