Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft eine Sohle, geeignet für den Einsatz in einem Sicherheitsschuh, sowie einen Sicherheitsschuh.The present invention relates to a sole suitable for use in a safety shoe and a safety shoe.

An Sicherheitsschuhe werden hohe Ansprüche gestellt. So ist ein Kriterium der Sicherheitsschuhe die Durchtrittsicherheit. Um beispielsweise zu verhindern, dass sich auf dem Boden befindliche Nägel oder Schrauben durch die Sohle eines Schuhs hindurchbohren, ist bei Sicherheitsschuhen in der Regel eine Metalllage bzw. Metallplatte zwischen Laufsohle und Brandsohle vorgesehen. Diese Metalllage bzw. Metallplatte erstreckt sich hierbei über die gesamte Fläche der Brandsohle.High demands are placed on safety shoes. One of the criteria for safety shoes is penetration resistance. In order to prevent, for example, nails or screws on the floor from drilling through the sole of a shoe, a metal layer or metal plate is generally provided between the outsole and insole in safety shoes. This metal layer or metal plate extends over the entire surface of the insole.

Es besteht vermehrt der Wunsch, auf diese Metalllage bzw. Metallplatte zu verzichten, um einerseits das Gewicht des Schuhs zu reduzieren und um andererseits störende Einflüsse, die von einer Metalllage bzw. Metallplatte beispielsweise auf elektronische Geräte ausgehen, zu verhindern. Aus diesem Grund werden vermehrt durchtrittsichere Sohlen, wie etwa aus der EP 2 746 041 A1 bekannt, aus einem textilen Material eingesetzt.There is an increasing desire to do without this metal layer or metal plate, on the one hand to reduce the weight of the shoe and on the other hand to prevent disruptive influences that emanate from a metal layer or metal plate, for example on electronic devices. For this reason, more and more puncture-resistant soles, such as from the EP 2 746 041 A1 known, used from a textile material.

Bei bisher bekannten Schuhen, wie etwa in der DE 201 11 468 U1 oder der KR 2009 0044616 A beschrieben, werden Dämpfungssysteme verwendet. Die Verwendung von Dämpfungselementen ist, wie die US 2015/0237959 zeigt, unter anderem auch in Sportschuhen vorgesehen.In previously known shoes, such as in the DE 201 11 468 U1 or the KR 2009 0044616 A described, damping systems are used. The use of cushioning elements is like that US2015/0237959 shows, among other things, also provided in sports shoes.

Insbesondere hat sich der Einsatz von einem variablen Dämpfungssystem im Bereich der Ferse bewährt, um den Tragekomfort zu erhöhen. Ein Schuh mit einem solchen Dämpfungselement ist beispielsweise aus der DE 93 05 748 U1 bekannt.In particular, the use of a variable cushioning system in the heel area has proven to increase wearing comfort. A shoe with such a damping element is, for example, from DE 93 05 748 U1 known.

Bei dem in der DE 93 05 748 U1 beschriebenen Schuh weist die Brandsohle im Bereich der Ferse eine Öffnung auf, in der ein austauschbares Dämpfungselement eingesetzt ist. Das Dämpfungselement ragt über die Unterseite der Brandsohle hinaus. Für den über die Unterseite der Brandsohle hinausreichenden Teil des Dämpfungselements ist eine Vertiefung in dem Absatz vorgesehen, die den über die Unterseite der Brandsohle hinausreichenden Teil des Dämpfungselements aufnimmt.At the in the DE 93 05 748 U1 The shoe described has an opening in the insole in the area of the heel, in which an exchangeable cushioning element is inserted. The cushioning element protrudes beyond the underside of the insole. For the part of the cushioning element that extends beyond the underside of the insole, a recess is provided in the heel that accommodates the part of the cushioning element that extends beyond the underside of the insole.

Ein solches Dämpfungssystem wird auch bei Sicherheitsschuhen eingesetzt, bei denen eine durchtrittsichere Metalllage bzw. Metallplatte notwendig ist. Hierfür ist in der Brandsohle eine Öffnung vorgesehen, in der das Dämpfungselement eingesetzt ist. Die Metalllage oder die Metallplatte wird entlang der Brandsohle und um das Dämpfungselement geführt, so dass die Metallplatte eine Vertiefung zur Aufnahme eines Dämpfungselements aufweist. An der Unterseite des Metallelements ist dann die in der Regel aus Kunststoff bestehende Laufsohle befestigt, insbesondere angeformt oder angeschäumt.Such a damping system is also used in safety shoes, which require a puncture-proof metal layer or metal plate. For this purpose, an opening is provided in the insole, in which the cushioning element is inserted. The metal layer or the Metal plate is guided along the insole and around the cushioning element, so that the metal plate has a recess for receiving a cushioning element. The outsole, which is usually made of plastic, is then attached to the underside of the metal element, in particular molded or foamed on.

Bei Sicherheitsschuhen, die über eine durchtrittsichere Sohle aus einem texteilen Material anstelle einer Metallplatte oder einer Metalllage verfügen, lässt sich das bisher bekannte Dämpfungssystem nicht einsetzen. Eine durchtrittsichere Sohle aus textilem Material kann nicht wie ein Metall in ein dreidimensionales Gebilde geformt werden, um die für die Aufnahme des Dämpfungselements notwendige Vertiefung bereitzustellen. Aus Sicherheitsgründen ist es nicht erlaubt, eine Aussparung in eine durchtrittsichere Sohle aus textilem Material zu schneiden. Aktuell ist es nicht möglich, einen Sicherheitsschuh bereitzustellen, welcher eine durchtrittsichere Sohle aus textilem Material und ein Dämpfungssystem wie oben beschrieben aufweist. Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ist es daher, das bekannte Dämpfungssystem auch bei Schuhen einzusetzen, bei denen keine dreidimensional verformbare durchtrittsichere Materiallage eingesetzt wird. Insbesondere ist es Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung, das bekannte Dämpfungssystem bei Schuhen mit einer durchtrittsicheren Sohle aus textilem Material einzusetzen.The hitherto known cushioning system cannot be used in safety shoes that have a penetration-resistant sole made of a textile material instead of a metal plate or a metal layer. A penetration-resistant sole made of textile material cannot be formed into a three-dimensional structure like metal in order to provide the depression necessary for receiving the cushioning element. For safety reasons, it is not allowed to cut a hole in a puncture-resistant textile sole. It is currently not possible to provide a safety shoe that has a penetration-resistant sole made of textile material and a cushioning system as described above. It is therefore the object of the present invention to also use the known cushioning system in shoes in which no three-dimensionally deformable material layer is used. In particular, it is the object of the present invention to use the known cushioning system in shoes with a penetration-resistant sole made of textile material.

Die vorliegende Aufgabe wird gelöst durch eine Sohle mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1. Bevorzugte Ausführungsformen der Erfindung sind in den abhängigen Ansprüchen offenbart.The present object is solved by a sole having the features of claim 1. Preferred embodiments of the invention are disclosed in the dependent claims.

Bei dieser Lösung ist das Dämpfungselement unterhalb der durchtrittsicheren Sohle angeordnet, so dass keine Eingriffe oder Veränderungen an einer durchtrittsicheren Sohle vorgenommen werden müssen.In this solution, the cushioning element is arranged below the penetration-resistant sole, so that no interventions or changes have to be made to a penetration-resistant sole.

Wird bei einer bevorzugten Weiterbildung als durchtrittsichere Sohle eine Sohle aus einem textilen Material verwendet, hat dies darüber hinaus den Vorteil, dass die durchtrittsichere Sohle wie eine Brandsohle eingesetzt werden kann. Der Innenaufbau des Schuhs wird hierdurch im Vergleich zu Sicherheitsschuhen mit Metallplatte und Dämpfungssystem deutlich geringer. Für den Träger des Sicherheitsschuhs macht sich dies dadurch bemerkbar, dass der Sicherheitsschuh ein geringeres Gewicht und eine schlankere Form aufweist.If, in a preferred development, a sole made of a textile material is used as the penetration-resistant sole, this also has the advantage that the penetration-resistant sole can be used like an insole. The inner structure of the shoe is thus significantly smaller in comparison to safety shoes with a metal plate and cushioning system. For the wearer of the safety shoe, this is noticeable in that the safety shoe has a lower weight and a slimmer shape.

Vorzugsweise ist das zweite Sohlenelement aus einem textilen Material oder Leder hergestellt, da dieses Material vergleichsweise einfach zu bearbeiten ist.The second sole element is preferably made of a textile material or leather, since this material is comparatively easy to process.

Um das Dämpfungselement einfach tauschen zu können, wenn es defekt ist oder wenn der Einsatz eines Dämpfungselements mit einem anderen Härtegrad gewünscht ist, ist es von Vorteil, dass das Dämpfungselement lösbar in der Aussparung befestigt ist.In order to be able to easily replace the damping element if it is defective or if the use of a damping element with a different degree of hardness is desired, it is advantageous for the damping element to be detachably fastened in the recess.

Für einen sicheren Halt des Dämpfungselements in dem zweiten Sohlenelement ist es von Vorteil, dass das Dämpfungselement, insbesondere der Dämpfungskörper passgenau in der Aussparung befestigt ist.For a secure hold of the cushioning element in the second sole element, it is advantageous that the cushioning element, in particular the cushioning body, is fastened with a precise fit in the recess.

Zur Erhöhung des Dämpfungseffekts des Dämpfungselements ist es von Vorteil, dass das Dämpfungselement einen Dämpfungskörper mit einer Oberseite, einer Unterseite und Seitenwänden aufweist, wobei der Dämpfungskörper eine Vielzahl von Hohlräumen aufweist, die vorzugsweise zur Unterseite hin offen ausgebildet sind.In order to increase the damping effect of the damping element, it is advantageous for the damping element to have a damping body with a top, a bottom and side walls, with the damping body having a large number of cavities which are preferably open to the bottom.

Um zu verhindern, dass das Dämpfungselement durch die Aussparung in dem zweiten Sohlenelement hindurchgleitet, weist das Dämpfungselement einen Dämpfungskörper mit einer Oberseite, einer Unterseite und Seitenwänden auf, wobei das Dämpfungselement an seiner Oberseite über eine Abdeckung verfügt, die zumindest abschnittsweise über die Seitenwände des Dämpfungsköpers hinausragt und vorzugsweise einstückig mit dem Dämpfungskörper ausgebildet ist.In order to prevent the cushioning element from sliding through the recess in the second sole element, the cushioning element has a cushioning body with an upper side, an underside and side walls, with the cushioning element having a cover on its upper side which at least partially covers the side walls of the cushioning body protrudes and is preferably formed in one piece with the damping body.

Es hat sich als vorteilhaft herausgestellt, dass die Abdeckung eine gewölbte Oberfläche aufweist, da dies zum einen zu einer Art Luftpolsterschicht zwischen erstem Sohlenelement und zweitem Sohlenelement führt und zum anderen einen punktuellen Massageeffekt bereitstellt, was den Tragekomfort der Sicherheitsschuhe mit dieser Sohle deutlich erhöht.It has turned out to be advantageous that the cover has a curved surface, since this leads to a kind of air cushion layer between the first sole element and second sole element and also provides a selective massage effect, which significantly increases the wearing comfort of the safety shoes with this sole.

Bei einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform weist die Abdeckung eine Lasche auf, um das Dämpfungselement einfach aus der Aussparung herausnehmen und gegen ein anderes ersetzen zu können.In a preferred embodiment, the cover has a tab so that the damping element can be easily removed from the recess and replaced with another.

Es ist weiter bevorzugt, dass das erste Sohlenelement und das zweite Sohlenelement eine Klappe ausbilden. Insbesondere bei der Verwendung einer durchtrittsicheren Sohle aus einem textilen Material besteht die Möglichkeit, an das zweite Sohlenelement zu gelangen, selbst wenn die Sohle in einem Schuh fest eingearbeitet ist, da das erste Sohlenelement klappenartig gegenüber dem zweiten Sohlenelement geschwenkt werden kann.It is further preferred that the first sole element and the second sole element form a flap. Particularly when using a puncture-resistant sole made of a textile material, it is possible to access the second sole element, even if the sole is firmly incorporated into a shoe, since the first sole element can be pivoted flap-like relative to the second sole element.

Das zweite Sohlenelement weist eine feste Verbindung in Form einer Verbindungslinie mit dem ersten Sohlenelement auf, wobei die Verbindungslinie vorzugsweise quer zur Längsachse der Sohle verläuft. Hierdurch lässt sich das zweite Sohlenelement fest an dem ersten Sohlenelement befestigten, so dass sich das erste und zweite Sohlenelement nicht gegeneinander verschieben.The second sole element has a fixed connection in the form of a connecting line to the first sole element, the connecting line preferably transverse to the longitudinal axis of the sole. As a result, the second sole element can be firmly attached to the first sole element, so that the first and second sole elements do not move relative to one another.

Vorzugsweise ist das Dämpfungselement zwischen fersenseitigem Sohlenende und Verbindungslinie angeordnet, wobei auch hier die Verbindungslinie vorzugsweise quer zur Längsachse der Sohle verläuft. Dadurch bildet das erste Sohlenelement im Bereich des Fersenabschnitts zusammen mit dem zweiten Sohlenelement eine Art Klappe. Mit Hilfe dieser Ausführungsform ist es möglich, das Dämpfungselement auch dann noch auszutauschen, selbst wenn die Sohle in einem Schuh fest eingearbeitet, insbesondere mit der Laufsohle fest verbunden ist.The damping element is preferably arranged between the end of the sole on the heel side and the connecting line, with the connecting line here also preferably running transversely to the longitudinal axis of the sole. As a result, the first sole element forms a kind of flap in the area of the heel section together with the second sole element. With the help of this embodiment, it is possible to replace the damping element even if the sole is firmly incorporated into a shoe, in particular is firmly connected to the outsole.

Hierbei ist es von besonderem Vorteil, dass die Verbindungslinie im Bereich des Mittelfußabschnitts vorgesehen ist. Eine Verbindungslinie in diesem Bereich stellt eine ausreichende Öffnung zum Einsetzen oder Austausch des Dämpfungselements in dem zweiten Sohlenelement bereit. Das zweite Sohlenelement kann dadurch kleiner als das erste Sohlenelement ausgebildet werden.It is of particular advantage here that the connecting line is provided in the area of the metatarsal section. A bondline in this area provides a sufficient opening for insertion or replacement of the cushioning element in the second sole element. As a result, the second sole element can be made smaller than the first sole element.

Bei einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform umfasst das zweite Sohlenelement einen ersten Randabschnitt, an dem die Verbindungslinie vorgesehen ist, sowie einen zweiten Randabschnitt, der die gleiche Kontur wie das erste Sohlenelement aufweist. Bei dieser Ausführungsform ist das zweite Sohlenelement vergleichsweise klein ausgebildet, so dass der Platzbedarf des Dämpfungssystems sehr gering ist.In a preferred embodiment, the second sole element comprises a first edge portion, on which the connection line is provided, and a second edge portion, which has the same contour as the first sole element. In this embodiment, the second sole element is designed to be comparatively small, so that the cushioning system takes up very little space.

Gegenstand der vorliegenden Erfindung ist auch ein Sicherheitsschuh, umfassend eine erfindungsgemäße Sohle.The subject matter of the present invention is also a safety shoe comprising a sole according to the invention.

Bei einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform umfasst der Sicherheitsschuh eine Laufsohle, die fest mit der Unterseite der Sohle verbunden ist und eine Vertiefung für das Dämpfungselement aufweist, wobei insbesondere die Laufsohle an die Unterseite des Schuhs angeformt oder angeschäumt ist.In a preferred embodiment, the safety shoe comprises an outsole which is firmly connected to the underside of the sole and has a recess for the cushioning element, with the outsole being molded or foamed onto the underside of the shoe in particular.

Zusätzlich oder alternativ kann eine Einlegesohle auf der Sohle vorgesehen sein.Additionally or alternatively, an insole can be provided on the sole.

Fig. 1 und 2 zeigen eine Sohle 10, geeignet für den Einsatz in einem Sicherheitsschuh in einer Ansicht von unten. Die Sohle 10 umfasst ein erstes Sohlenelement 12 und ein zweites Sohlenelement 14. Das erste Sohlenelement 12 weist einen Zehen-, Mittelfuß- und Fersenabschnitt auf. Das zweite Sohlenelement 14 verfügt über einen Fersenabschnitt sowie einen verkürzten Mittelfußabschnitt. 1 and 2 show a sole 10 suitable for use in a safety shoe in a view from below. The sole 10 includes a first sole member 12 and a second sole member 14. The first sole member 12 has a toe, midfoot and heel portions. The second sole element 14 has a heel section and a shortened metatarsal section.

Das erste Sohlenelement 12 ist eine durchtrittsichere Sohle aus einem textilen Material und lagenartig oberhalb des zweiten Sohlenelements 14 angeordnet. Der Begriff oberhalb bezieht sich hier auf den bestimmungsgemäßen Gebrauch in einem Schuh.The first sole element 12 is a penetration-resistant sole made of a textile material and is arranged in layers above the second sole element 14 . The term above refers here to the intended use in a shoe.

Das zweite Sohlenelement 14 besteht ebenfalls aus einem textilen Material. Bezüglich der Durchtrittsicherheit werden keine Anforderungen an das zweite Sohlenelement 14 gestellt. Alternativ kann das zweite Sohlenelement 14 somit auch aus Leder gefertigt sein. Insbesondere eignen sich für das zweite Sohlenelement 14 alle Materialien, die üblicherweise für eine Brandsohle verwendet werden.The second sole element 14 also consists of a textile material. No requirements are placed on the second sole element 14 with regard to penetration resistance. Alternatively, the second sole element 14 can therefore also be made of leather. In particular, all materials that are usually used for an insole are suitable for the second sole element 14 .

Das zweite Sohlenelement 14 ist im Mittelfußbereich mit dem ersten Sohlenelement 12 fest verbunden. Insbesondere ist das zweite Sohlenelement 14 mit dem ersten Sohlenelement 12 unter Ausbildung einer Verbindungslinie 16 vernäht. Alternativ kann das zweite Sohlenelement 14 unter Ausbildung einer Verbindungslinie an dem ersten Sohlenelement 12 angeklebt sein.The second sole element 14 is firmly connected to the first sole element 12 in the metatarsal area. In particular, the second sole element 14 is sewn to the first sole element 12 to form a connecting line 16 . Alternatively, the second sole element 14 can be glued to the first sole element 12, forming a connecting line.

Das zweite Sohlenelement 14 umfasst einen ersten Randabschnitt 20, an dem die Verbindungslinie 16 vorgesehen ist, sowie einen zweiten Randabschnitt 22, der die gleiche Kontur und Größe wie das erste Sohlenelement 12 aufweist. Das zweite Sohlenelement 14 ist so an dem ersten Sohlenelement 12 befestigt, dass der zweite Randabschnitt 22 des zweiten Sohlenelements 14 deckungsgleich mit dem entsprechenden Randabschnitt des ersten Sohlenelements 12 ist.The second sole element 14 comprises a first edge section 20 on which the connecting line 16 is provided, and a second edge section 22 which has the same contour and size as the first sole element 12 . The second sole element 14 is attached to the first sole element 12 that the second edge portion 22 of the second Sole element 14 is congruent with the corresponding edge portion of the first sole element 12.

Die Verbindungslinie 16 ist eine gerade Linie, verläuft im Wesentlichen quer zur Längsachse der Sohle 10 und erstreckt sich von einer Längsseite der Sohle 10 zur entgegengesetzt liegenden Längsseite der Sohle 10, so dass das erste Sohlenelement 12 im Fersenbereich klappenartig auf dem zweiten Sohlenelement 14 angeordnet ist.The connecting line 16 is a straight line, runs essentially transversely to the longitudinal axis of the sole 10 and extends from one longitudinal side of the sole 10 to the opposite longitudinal side of the sole 10, so that the first sole element 12 is arranged flap-like on the second sole element 14 in the heel area .

In dem zweiten Sohlenelement 14 ist im Fersenbereich eine Aussparung 24 vorgesehen, in der ein Dämpfungselement 26 aus einem elastischen, gummiartigen Kunststoffmaterial angeordnet ist. Das Dämpfungselement 26 weist einen vorgegebenen Härtegrad auf.In the second sole element 14, a recess 24 is provided in the heel area, in which a damping element 26 made of an elastic, rubber-like plastic material is arranged. The damping element 26 has a predetermined degree of hardness.

Wie insbesondere in den Fig. 3 und 4 zu erkennen ist, verfügt das Dämpfungselement 26 über einen Dämpfungskörper 28 mit Seitenwänden 29, einer Oberseite und einer Unterseite. An der Oberseite des Dämpfungselements 26 ist eine Abdeckung 30 vorgesehen, die seitlich über die Seitenwände 29 des Dämpfungskörpers 28 hinausragt und einstückig mit dem Dämpfungskörper 28 verbunden ist.As in particular in the Figures 3 and 4 can be seen, the damping element 26 has a damping body 28 with side walls 29, a top and a bottom. A cover 30 is provided on the upper side of the damping element 26 , which protrudes laterally beyond the side walls 29 of the damping body 28 and is connected to the damping body 28 in one piece.

Der Dämpfungskörper 28 ist im Querschnitt passgenau zur Aussparung 24 geformt und wird in der Aussparung 24 fest gehalten. Die Außenseite der Seitenwände 29 entspricht somit der Größe der Aussparung 24, wobei die Seitenwände 29 leicht konisch zulaufen und der Durchmesser des Dämpfungskörpers 28 im Bereich der Abdeckung 30 etwas größer als im Bereich der Unterseite ist.The cross section of the damping body 28 is shaped to fit the recess 24 precisely and is held firmly in the recess 24 . The outside of the side walls 29 thus corresponds to the size of the recess 24, the side walls 29 tapering slightly and the diameter of the damping body 28 in the area of the cover 30 is slightly larger than in the area of the underside.

Die Abdeckung 30 ist nach außen gewölbt ausgebildet und verfügt an ihrem seitlichen Rand über eine Lasche 32.The cover 30 is curved outwards and has a tab 32 on its lateral edge.

Wie in Fig. 4 zu erkennen ist, weist der Dämpfungskörper 28 an seiner Unterseite eine Vielzahl von Hohlräumen 34 auf. Die Hohlräume 34 weisen einen im Wesentlichen rautenförmigen Querschnitt auf. Anstelle der dargestellten rautenförmigen Hohlräume können auch Hohlräume mit einem anderen Querschnitt verwendet werden. Bei einer nicht dargestellten Ausführungsform sind die Hohlräume weggelassen und der Dämpfungskörper ist aus einem vollständig gefüllten Materialblock gebildet.As in 4 As can be seen, the damping body 28 has a multiplicity of cavities 34 on its underside. The cavities 34 have a substantially diamond-shaped cross-section. Instead of the diamond-shaped cavities shown, cavities with a different cross-section can also be used. In an embodiment that is not shown, the cavities are omitted and the damping body is formed from a completely filled block of material.

In einem Zustand, in dem das Dämpfungselement 26 sich in dem zweiten Sohlenelement 14 befindet, liegt die Abdeckung 30 mit ihrer Unterseite auf dem zweiten Sohlenelement 14 auf. Die Abdeckung 30 befindet sich hierbei zwischen dem ersten Sohlenelement 12 und dem zweiten Sohlenelement 14. Der Dämpfungskörper 28 ist in der Aussparung 24 des zweiten Sohlenelements 14 angeordnet und ragt nach außen bzw. unten aus dem zweiten Sohlenelement 14 heraus.In a state in which the cushioning element 26 is located in the second sole element 14 , the underside of the cover 30 rests on the second sole element 14 . The cover 30 is located between the first sole element 12 and the second Sole element 14. The damping body 28 is arranged in the recess 24 of the second sole element 14 and protrudes outwards or downwards from the second sole element 14.

Das Dämpfungselement 26 ist lösbar in der Aussparung 24 des zweiten Sohlenelements 14 gehalten, so dass defekte Dämpfungselemente 26 ausgetauscht werden können oder Dämpfungselemente verschiedener Härtegrade in der Aussparung 24 des zweiten Sohlenelements 14 eingesetzt werden können.The cushioning element 26 is detachably held in the recess 24 of the second sole element 14 so that defective cushioning elements 26 can be replaced or cushioning elements of different degrees of hardness can be used in the recess 24 of the second sole element 14 .

Das Dämpfungselement 26 muss somit einerseits sicher in der Aussparung 24 gehalten werden. Dies wird dadurch erreicht, dass die Abdeckung 30 seitlich über den Dämpfungskörper 28 hinausragt. Insbesondere wird dadurch verhindert, dass das Dämpfungselement 26 versehentlich durch die Aussparung 24 hindurchgedrückt wird. Um das Dämpfungselement 26 andererseits wieder aus der Aussparung 24 entfernen zu können, ist die Lasche 32 vorgesehen, mit deren Hilfe ein Nutzer das Dämpfungselement 26 aus der Aussparung 24 herausziehen kann.The damping element 26 must therefore be held securely in the recess 24 on the one hand. This is achieved in that the cover 30 protrudes laterally beyond the damping body 28 . In particular, this prevents the damping element 26 from being inadvertently pushed through the recess 24 . On the other hand, in order to be able to remove the damping element 26 from the recess 24 again, the tab 32 is provided, with the aid of which a user can pull the damping element 26 out of the recess 24 .

Bei einer nicht dargestellten Ausführungsform, bei der das Dämpfungselement nicht austauschbar ist, können anstelle der Abdeckung oder zusätzlich zur Abdeckung auch Rastelemente vorgesehen sein, die den Dämpfungskörper sicher in der Aussparung halten.In an embodiment that is not shown, in which the damping element cannot be exchanged, latching elements that hold the damping body securely in the recess can also be provided instead of the cover or in addition to the cover.

Fig. 5 zeigt einen Sicherheitsschuh 40 im Querschnitt. Der Schuh weist Schaftteile 42, eine Laufsohle 44 sowie eine aus Metall bestehende Sicherheitskappe 46 auf. Im Bereich des Absatzes 48 weist die Laufsohle 44 eine Vertiefung 50 auf. figure 5 shows a safety shoe 40 in cross section. The shoe has shaft parts 42, an outsole 44 and a safety cap 46 made of metal. The outsole 44 has a recess 50 in the area of the heel 48 .

Oberhalb der Laufsohle 44 ist die in den Figuren 1 und 2 dargestellte Sohle 10 zu erkennen. Auf dieser Sohle 10 ist wiederum eine Einlegesohle 52 angeordnet.Above the outsole 44 is in the figures 1 and 2 shown sole 10 to recognize. An insole 52 is in turn arranged on this sole 10 .

Die in den Figuren 1 und 2 dargestellte Sohle 10 ist an ihrer Unterseite fest mit der Laufsohle 44 verbunden, wobei der aus dem zweiten Sohlenelement 14 herausragende Teil des Dämpfungskörpers 28 in der Vertiefung 50 der Laufsohle 44 angeordnet ist. Bei der dargestellten Ausführungsform ist das Dämpfungselement 26 lösbar in der Vertiefung 50 der Laufsohle 44 angeordnet.The in the figures 1 and 2 The sole 10 shown is firmly connected to the outsole 44 on its underside, with the part of the damping body 28 protruding from the second sole element 14 being arranged in the recess 50 of the outsole 44 . In the illustrated embodiment, the cushioning element 26 is detachably arranged in the depression 50 of the outsole 44 .

Bei der in Fig. 5 dargestellten Art eines Sicherheitsschuhs wird üblicherweise die Laufsohle an die Schaftteile und Brandsohle angeschäumt oder angeformt.At the in figure 5 In the type of safety shoe shown, the outsole is usually foamed or molded onto the shaft parts and insole.

Um einen Sicherheitsschuh mit einer in den Fig. 1 bis 4 dargestellten Sohle 10 mit einem austauschbaren Dämpfungselement 28 zu erhalten, wird bei der Herstellung des Schuhs 40 anstelle des bestimmungsgemäßen Dämpfungselements 28 ein Platzhalter verwendet, der in Größe und Form dem Dämpfungselement 28 entspricht und nach dem Anbringen der Laufsohle entfernt werden kann. Erst nach Fertigstellung des Schuhs 40 wird das Dämpfungselement 28 eingesetzt.To get a safety shoe with a in the Figures 1 to 4 To obtain the illustrated sole 10 with a replaceable cushioning element 28, a placeholder is used in the manufacture of the shoe 40 instead of the intended cushioning element 28, which corresponds in size and shape to the cushioning element 28 and can be removed after the outsole has been attached. The cushioning element 28 is only inserted after the shoe 40 has been completed.

Um das Dämpfungselement 28 in den fertiggestellten Schuh einzusetzen bzw. zu einem späteren Zeitpunkt auszutauschen, wird die Einlegesohle 52 entfernt und dann der Fersenabschnitt des ersten Sohlenelements 12 angehoben, so dass das zweite Sohlenelement 14 mit dem Dämpfungselement 26 frei zugänglich ist. Das Dämpfungselement 26 kann dann mittels der Lasche 32 entnommen werden. Anschließend kann das gewünschte neue Dämpfungselement 26 eingesetzt werden.In order to insert the cushioning element 28 into the finished shoe or to replace it at a later point in time, the insole 52 is removed and then the heel section of the first sole element 12 is lifted so that the second sole element 14 with the cushioning element 26 is freely accessible. The damping element 26 can then be removed using the tab 32 . The desired new damping element 26 can then be used.

Im Rahmen der Erfindung ist es nicht zwingend notwendig, dass die Verbindungslinie im Bereich des Mittelfußabschnitts vorgesehen ist und sich im Wesentlichen quer zur Längsachse der Sohle erstreckt.In the context of the invention, it is not absolutely necessary for the connecting line to be provided in the area of the metatarsal section and to extend essentially transversely to the longitudinal axis of the sole.

Alternativ kann die Verbindungslinie an jeder Stelle des zweiten Sohlenelements 12 verlaufen. Die Verbindunglinie kann auch am seitlichen Randabschnitt, der deckungsgleich mit dem ersten Sohlenelement ist, ausgebildet sein. Es ist hierbei bevorzugt, dass der Randabschnitt des zweiten Sohlenelements nur abschnittsweise mit dem ersten Sohlenelement verbunden ist, um eine klappenartige Verbindung zwischen dem ersten Sohlenelement und dem zweiten Sohlenelement zu erhalten.Alternatively, the connecting line can run at any point on the second sole element 12 . The connecting line can also be formed on the lateral edge section, which is congruent with the first sole element. It is preferred here that the edge section of the second sole element is only partially connected to the first sole element in order to obtain a flap-like connection between the first sole element and the second sole element.

Es ist nicht notwendig, dass sich das zweite Sohlenelement bis in den Bereich des Mittelfußes erstreckt. Es ist ausreichend, wenn das zweite Sohlenelement den Fersenabschnitt bedeckt.It is not necessary for the second sole element to extend into the area of the midfoot. It is sufficient if the second sole element covers the heel section.

Bei einer nicht dargestellten Ausführungsform weist das zweite Sohlenelement die Kontur des ersten Sohlenelements auf. Die Verbindungslinie, an der das zweite Sohlenelement mit dem ersten Sohlenelement verbunden ist, kann sowohl am äußeren Rand des zweiten Sohlenelements als auch quer oder schräg zur Längsachse der Sohle im Mittelfuß- und/oder Vorderfußbereich bzw. außerhalb der Aussparung vorgesehen sein.In an embodiment that is not shown, the second sole element has the contour of the first sole element. The connecting line at which the second sole element is connected to the first sole element can be provided both on the outer edge of the second sole element and transversely or diagonally to the longitudinal axis of the sole in the midfoot and/or forefoot area or outside the recess.

Bei all den dargestellten Ausführungsformen ist die Kontur des zweiten Sohlenelements im Wesentlichen frei wählbar. Die Forderung an das zweite Sohlenelement besteht im Wesentlichen darin, das Dämpfungselement aufzunehmen und mit dem ersten Sohlenelement eine klappenartige Verbindung auszubilden.In all of the illustrated embodiments, the contour of the second sole element can essentially be freely selected. The requirement for the second sole element is essentially in receiving the cushioning element and forming a flap-like connection with the first sole element.

Die Merkmale der dargestellten Ausführungsformen können untereinander kombiniert werden, wobei einzelne Merkmal auch weggelassen werden können.The features of the illustrated embodiments can be combined with one another, with individual features also being able to be omitted.
