Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft allgemein einen Schnürsenkel zum erleichterten Schnüren von Schuhen durch einen Anwender, der an einem Halbschuh, orthopädischen Schuh oder dergleichen seine Anwendung findet.The present invention relates generally to a shoelace for easier lacing of shoes by a user who is used on a low shoe, orthopedic shoe or the like.
Schuhe werden im Wesentlichen aus einer Sohle und einem Schaft gebildet, der durch eine Öffnung das Ein- und Ausstecken eines Fußes des Anwenders in den Schuh gestattet. Zum verschließen der Öffnung des Schaftes werden üblicherweise Ösen oder Haken vorgesehen, die beiderseits an der Öffnung derart ausgebildet sind, dass durch das Spannen der Schnürsenkel die Öffnung verschlossen wird.Shoes are essentially formed from a sole and a shaft, which allows the user's foot to be inserted and removed into the shoe through an opening. To close the opening of the shaft, eyelets or hooks are usually provided, which are formed on both sides of the opening in such a way that the opening is closed by tensioning the laces.
Anwender, insbesondere Kleinkinder und Behinderte, haben oft große Schwierigkeiten, ihre Schnürsenkel zum Schnüren eines Schuhs zu binden, insbesondere die beiden Endbereichen mit einander zu verknoten. Das Binden, insbesondere das Bilden eines Knotens, eines Schnürsenkels umfasst mehrere Schritte, bei denen die Hände des Anwenders die beiden Endbereiche des Schnürsenkels greifen müssen und wobei die Endbereiche teilweise verdeckt sind und in einer komplexen Beziehung zueinander stehen. An den freien Endbereichen der Schnürsenkel können Markierungen angebracht werden, die anzeigen, wie die Schnürsenkel gebunden werden sollen, wobei das
Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ist es ein Schnürsenkel bereit zu stellen, der das Verständnis der einzelnen Schritte durch einen Anwender erleichtert, so dass er die Längsenden des Schnürsenkels langsamer und mit geringerer Wahrscheinlichkeit des Scheiterns binden kann.The object of the present invention is to provide a shoelace which facilitates the understanding of the individual steps by a user, so that he can bind the longitudinal ends of the shoelace more slowly and with less likelihood of failure.
Eine besondere Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung besteht in der Bereitstellung eines Schnürsenkels, welcher durch den Anwender mit einer Hand gebunden werden kann.A particular object of the present invention is to provide a shoelace that can be tied with one hand by the user.
Diese Aufgabe wird erfüllt durch einen Schnürsenkel zum erleichterten Schnüren von Schuhen durch einen Anwender umfassend ein längliches Kernelement, einer Schnürhülle, einem ersten Endbereich und einem zweiten Endbereich , wobei das Kernelement ein oder mehrere Kernfäden aufweist und das Kernelement von der schlauchförmigen Schnürhülle wenigstens teilweise umhüllt ist, wobei das Kernelement im Bereich des ersten Endbereiches zur temporären Halterung des zweiten Endbereiches einen biegsamen Kernfaden aufweist. Unter biegsam ist ein Biegeverhalten insbesondere Elastizität oder Biegesteifigkeit zu verstehen, welche dem eines Silberdraht mit einem Durchmesser von 0.4 bis 3mm entspricht oder einer höheren Elastizität. Vorzugsweise entspricht die Elastizität des Kernelementes derer eines Silberdrahtes mit einem Durchmesser von 0.4 bis 3mm. Dadurch dass das das zweite Längsende am ersten Endbereich temporär reibschlüssig festlegbar ist es dem Anwender möglich mit einer Hand den Schuh mittels dem erfinderischen Schnürsenkel zu binden. In einem ersten Schritt biegt der Anwender mit einer Hand den ersten Endbereich gegenüber dem Schuh in eine gewünschte Lage und legt danach den zweiten Endbereich am ersten Endbereich in einer gewünschten Position zum Binden des Schnürsenkels gegenüber einander temporär fest. Danach bindet, oder insbesondere knotet der Anwender das zweite Längsende am ersten Endbereich fest, wobei der Anwender einen beliebigen Knoten anwenden kann, soweit dieser mit einer Hand verknüpfbar ist.This object is achieved by a shoelace for facilitating the lacing of shoes by a user, comprising an elongated core element, a lace cover, a first end area and a second end area, the core element having one or more core threads and the core element being at least partially enveloped by the tubular lace cover , wherein the core element has a flexible core thread in the region of the first end region for temporarily holding the second end region. Bendable is to be understood to mean a bending behavior, in particular elasticity or bending stiffness, which corresponds to that of a silver wire with a diameter of 0.4 to 3 mm or a higher elasticity. The elasticity of the core element preferably corresponds to that of a silver wire with a diameter of 0.4 to 3 mm. As a result of the fact that the second longitudinal end can be temporarily fixed in a frictional manner at the first end region Users can tie the shoe with one hand using the inventive laces. In a first step, the user bends the first end region with respect to the shoe into a desired position with one hand and then temporarily fixes the second end region at the first end region in a desired position for tying the shoelace relative to one another. The user then ties, or in particular ties the second longitudinal end to the first end region, the user being able to use any knot, provided that it can be linked with one hand.
Bevorzugt ist der erfinderische Schnürsenkel aus einem biegsamen Kernfaden gebildet, der aus einem drahtförmigen Metall, bevorzugt Silber, besteht, um eine wirtschaftliche Herstellung und eine lange Anwendbarkeit des Schnürsenkels sicherzustellen.The inventive shoelace is preferably formed from a flexible core thread, which consists of a wire-shaped metal, preferably silver, in order to ensure economical manufacture and long-term usability of the shoelace.
Vorzugsweise weist der biegsame Kernfaden des Schnürsenkels einen Durchmesser von 0.4 bis 2 mmm, insbesondere 0.8 bis .1.4 mm, ganz besonders bevorzugt etwa 1 mm auf, um eine ausreichende Steifigkeit und Biegsamkeit des ersten Endbereich s zur temporären Halterung des zweiten Endbereich s zu gewährleisten.The flexible core thread of the shoelace preferably has a diameter of 0.4 to 2 mm, in particular 0.8 to .1.4 mm, very particularly preferably about 1 mm, in order to ensure sufficient rigidity and flexibility of the first end area for temporarily holding the second end area.
Bevorzugt erstreckt sich der biegsame Kernfaden vom Längsende des ersten Endbereiches mit einer Länge I zum zweiten Endbereich hin, um eine optimale Positionierung des ersten Endbereichs gegenüber dem Schuh sicher zu stellen. Insbesondere beträgt die Länge des biegsamen Kernfadens 5 bis 25 cm, vorzugsweise 15 bis 18cm, besonders bevorzugt 5 bis 10 cm. Der erste Endbereich, insbesondere das freie Ende zum Binden ist dadurch in einem im Schuh eingeschnürten Zustand gegenüber dem Schuh festgelegt und durch ein Biegen gegenüber dem Schuh positionierbar.The flexible core thread preferably extends from the longitudinal end of the first end region with a length I to the second end region in order to ensure optimal positioning of the first end region with respect to the shoe. In particular, the length of the flexible core thread is 5 to 25 cm, preferably 15 to 18 cm, particularly preferably 5 to 10 cm. The first end region, in particular the free end for binding, is thereby fixed relative to the shoe in a constricted state in the shoe and can be positioned relative to the shoe by bending.
Zum Schutz der Schnürhülle weist der Schnürsenkel im Bereich der Längsenden des biegsamen Kernfadens jeweils eine auf, um eine Beschädigung der Schnürhülle durch den biegsamen Kernfaden zu vermeiden. Ausserdem stellten die beiden Pinken sicher, dass der biegsame Kernfaden in der Werk-Position gehalten wird, insbesondere vermeiden diese, dass der biegbare Kern innerhalb des Schnürsenkels, insbesondere der Schnürhülle sich in Längsrichtung der Schnürhülle verschiebt. Vorzugsweise bestehen die hülsenförmigen Pinken aus Metall oder Kunststoff oder einem ähnlichen Stoff.To protect the lacing cover, the laces each have one in the region of the longitudinal ends of the flexible core thread, in order to avoid damage to the lacing cover by the flexible core thread. In addition, the two pinkes ensured that the flexible core thread is held in the factory position, in particular they prevent the flexible core from shifting in the longitudinal direction of the lace cover within the lace, in particular the lace cover. The sleeve-shaped pinks are preferably made of metal or plastic or a similar material.
Der erste Endbereich weist vorzugsweise eine Haltevorrichtung zum temporären Halten des ersten Endbereiches durch den Anwender gegenüber dem Schuh auf. Ist es für den Anwender möglich den ersten Endbereich gegenüber dem Schuh mittels einer Hand einfach und sicher zu positionieren. Ferner ist es für den Anwender eine taktile Hilfe das erste Endbereich ohne Sichtkontakt zu erkennen und mit einer Hand zu fassen, insbesondere temporär gegen dem Schuh zu positionieren und/oder zu halten.The first end region preferably has a holding device for temporarily holding the first end region by the user in relation to the shoe. Is it possible for the user to easily and safely position the first end area opposite the shoe with one hand. Furthermore, it is a tactile aid for the user to recognize the first end region without visual contact and to grasp it with one hand, in particular to temporarily position and / or hold it against the shoe.
Die Haltevorrichtung ist vorzugsweise durch einen Kontenpunkt am ersten Endbereich befestigt. Der Knotenpunkt verhindert ein abgleiten des zweiten Endbereichs im verknoteten oder gebunden Zustand auf gegenüber dem ersten Endbereich, insbesondere eine ungewollte Verschiebung des zweiten Endbereichs im verknoteten oder gebunden Zustand in Richtung Längsende des ersten Endbereichs.The holding device is preferably attached to the first end area by an account point. The node prevents the second end region from sliding off in the knotted or bound state relative to the first end region, in particular an unwanted displacement of the second end region in the knotted or bound state in the direction of the longitudinal end of the first end region.
Vorzugsweise werden zum Binden, insbesondere Schnüren eines Schuhes mit einem Schnürsenkel die folgenden Schritte ausgeführt:
- a) Formen des erste Endbereich im Bereich das biegsamen Kernfadens zu einem u-förmigen Halteelement, sodass das zweite Längsende mittels dem Halteelement am ersten Endbereich (1) temporär festlegbar ist;
- b) temporäres Festlegen des zweiten Endbereich s am ersten Endbereich mittels dem Halteelement (11);
- c) Festkonten des zweiten Endbereich s (2) am ersten Endbereich (1) mit einem Knoten.
- a) shaping the first end region in the region of the flexible core thread into a U-shaped holding element, so that the second longitudinal end can be temporarily fixed by means of the holding element on the first end region (1);
- b) temporarily fixing the second end region at the first end region by means of the holding element (11);
- c) Fixed accounts of the second end area s (2) at the first end area (1) with a node.
Bei einem in einem Schuh eingefädelten Schnürsenkel kann Schritt a) auch weggelassen werden oder zur Nachjustierung des u-förmigen Halteelements zur Sicherung der temporären Festlegbarkeit dienen.In the case of a shoelace threaded into a shoe, step a) can also be omitted or can be used to readjust the U-shaped holding element in order to secure the temporary fixability.
Dadurch dass der zweite Endbereich am ersten Endbereich des Schnürsenkels temporär festlegbar ist, ist es dem Anwender möglich den zweiten Endbereich mittels einem frei wählbaren Knotens an den ersten Endbereich zu binden. Dem Anwender ist es dadurch möglich mit einer Hand die beiden Längsenden in einer gewünschten Position zu einander zu binden, insbesondere zu verknoten und damit den Schuh zu binden und damit an einem Fuss des Anwenders temporär festzulegen. Ausserdem lassen sich die beiden Längsenden mittels einer Hand wieder entknoten, sodass der Anwender den Schuh wieder ausziehen kann.Because the second end region can be temporarily fixed at the first end region of the shoelace, the user is able to bind the second end region to the first end region by means of a freely selectable knot. It is thus possible for the user to tie the two longitudinal ends to one another in one desired position, in particular to tie them together, and thus to tie the shoe and thus to temporarily fix it to a foot of the user with one hand. In addition, the two longitudinal ends can be untied with one hand, so that the user can take off the shoe again.
