Description

Tongue for a shoe as well as shoe

description

The invention relates to a tongue for a shoe according to the preamble of patent claim 1 and a shoe according to the preamble of claim 6. A tongue is an aligemein known part of a shoe, which closes the shoe against the forefoot and instep of a wearer forward. Moreover, in some shoes, especially sports shoes, the tongue is part of a lacing system wherein a certain, usually central and / or upper part of the tongue is associated with a closure system of the shoe. Such a Schnür-, respectively clamping system for a shoe is described for example in DE 601 06 816, wherein the local tongue has in its upper part a pocket with openings through which the local laces extend and in which a Schnürsenkeiblockiereiement can be accommodated. A disadvantage of the system described in DE 601 06 816, however, is the fact that the free, by a user during a tensioning or

Closing of the shoe, respectively the lace, to be taken end of the lace, which is there loop-shaped, after blocking the local Schnürsenkeis in a closed position is relatively long and stowed in the same bag, as the local Biockiereiement for the shoe lace, so that the local bag on the one hand must be made quite large and on the other hand at an insertion of the protruding Schnürsenkeis in the bag is the danger of loosening the Biockierelement again, so that loosens the lacing of the local shoe. In addition, there is a risk that in a deliberate or unwanted withdrawal of the protruding laces the local there

Blocking element is also pulled out of the bag and may be inadvertently released.

The object of the invention is to overcome the aforementioned drawbacks and to provide a tongue for a shoe and a shoe, which has an improved locking system and moreover ensures safe storage of a protruding locking means, such as a shoe lace.

This object is achieved by a tongue for a shoe according to claim 1 and by a shoe equipped with such a tongue according to claim 6.

In particular, the object is achieved by a tongue for a shoe, in particular a sports shoe, with at least one closure means feedthrough arranged on the outside in an upper region of the tongue when using the shoe and a pocket, in particular closure means receiving pocket, arranged on the back side of the closure means feedthrough in the direction of a user.

An essential point of the invention is that the tongue has at least one closure means feedthrough arranged on the outside in an upper region of the tongue when the shoe is used, through which closure means, such as laces, can extend, while the closure center feedthrough, ie, in the back Direction of a user, on the tongue or in the tongue a Verschiußmittelaufnahmetasche is provided, in which an excess Verschlußmitte !, Such as one or more of the aforementioned laces can be accommodated. In this way, it is possible according to the invention to accommodate a blocking system which serves to fix a closure means, such as a shoelace, in the upper region of the tongue on or in the closure means passageway while separated therefrom in a pocket disposed between the closure passageway and the wearer of the shoe protruding and / or excess closure means, such as the aforementioned laces, can be accommodated, so that a mutual influence of Biockiersystem and Verschlußmittei is not to be feared, so that unintentional opening of the blocking system by excess closure means in a stowage of the same or one out of the bag fetching closure means is no longer to be feared. According to a particular embodiment of the invention, the closure means bushing is formed as a loop through which at least one closure means, preferably at least one band or at least one lace, is guided. This loop according to the invention may be formed either as a cable or a loop loop, as required, but also a large-scale pocket-shaped loop falls within the scope of the invention, for example, flat on the front upper portion of the tongue with possible lateral attachment points or seams, Rivets or Kiebung is appropriate.

Furthermore, the loop according to the invention is elastic and optionally designed for receiving and / or holding a blocking system, in particular a clamping device for the closure means, wherein the blocking system can be held and fixed in a rope or band-shaped loop, but also completely in a pocket-shaped loop can be accommodated. It should be noted at this point that the blocking system can either be formed as an integral part of the pocket-shaped loop and firmly integrated in this, or alternatively can be inserted into this pocket and removable from this.

Further, the invention provides that the loop may have a, in particular slot-shaped, recess which serves for receiving, in particular for the positive reception and mounting of the blocking system. In this way, the blocking system can be safely accommodated on or in the loop, namely in the slot-shaped recess provided for the loop and on the other hand easily and conveniently accessible for handling for tightening or closing of the shoe and for releasing the Verschlussmaitteis.

According to another embodiment of the invention, the closure means receiving pocket and / or the closure means passage is integrally formed with the tongue so that both the closure means receiving pocket and / or the closure means passage are completely housed in the tongue and thus do not or only insignificantly increase the thickness of the tongue. Alternatively, it may be provided that the Verschiußmitteldurchführung is attached to an upper portion of the tongue and sewn thereto, glued, riveted or welded. In addition, can Also, the closure means receiving pocket sewn on an existing, finished tongue or otherwise attached or attached in the course of making a tongue to this and connected to this, in particular sewn or glued, riveted or welded.

In addition, the object of the invention is achieved by a shoe having a tongue according to the aforementioned embodiments.

Further embodiments of the invention will become apparent from the dependent claims,

The invention will be described with reference to embodiments, which are explained in more detail with reference to the figures. Show here;

In the following description, the same reference numerals are used for the same and like parts.

1 shows a schematic representation of a closure means bushing 20 according to the invention, through which a closure means 40 in the form of a loop-shaped lace 40 extends. The closure means feedthrough 20 is formed as a pocket-shaped loop in which a blocking system 50 is accommodated, through which in turn the shoelaces 40 extend. Furthermore, it can be seen from Fig. 1 that the back of the closure means feedthrough 20 a Verschiußmitteiaufnahmetasche 30 is arranged, in which protruding, respectively excess closure means 40 is housed. In turn, on the back of the Verschiußmitteiaufnahmetasche 30 may be arranged a tongue to which the device shown schematically in Fig. 1 may be sewn. Alternatively, it is also possible to integrate the device shown in FIG. 1 directly into a tongue 10 (not shown in FIG. 1).

Figures 2 and 3 each show a schematic representation of a tongue according to the invention, wherein in the embodiments shown in Fig. 2 and Fig. 3, the closure means bushing 20 is formed in each case as a pocket-shaped loop, each having a recess 60, in which a respective blocking system 50th can be positively fixed when the closure means 40 is tensioned and held by the blocking system 50. Furthermore, it is shown in Fig. 2, as the closure means 40 extends through the blocking system 50 and through the closure means bushing 20 and there from a buttonhole called

"Buttonhole" extends out and is shown as a ring-shaped running laces.

In Fig. 2, the recess 60, which is located in the closure means passage 20, not yet occupied by the blocking system 50, while in Fig. 3 the

Blocking system 50 is held in a form-fitting manner in the recess 60 of the closure means bushing 20. In addition, it is shown in Fig. 3, as the closure means 40 is housed in a rear side of the closure means bushing 20 arranged Verschimittelmitteiaufnahmetasche 30. The free ends of the closure means 40 extend in Figures 2 and 3 as well as in Fig. 1 in the direction of the lacing system of an associated shoe.

Figures 4 to 7 show the manner in which a tongue 10 according to the invention is arranged in a shoe according to the invention and in what manner the closure means 40 forms the lacing system of the shoe and extends through the closure means passage 20. In the closure means passage 20, which is formed according to Figures 4 to 7 as a pocket-shaped loop, which has no recess 60 in the present case, the blocking system 50, through which the closure means 40 can fix, housed, the blocking system 50 from below that is, inserted from the lacing system of the shoe into the pocket-shaped loop of the closure means passage, wherein the closure means 40 at the top of the elastic pocket-shaped loop extends out. This elastic closure means passage 20 is arranged on the head side of the tongue 10 and formed so that the Verschieußmittel 40 on the one hand is guided in a simple manner, while the blocking system 50 can be held in the recess 60 after a tensioning of the closure means 40, wherein the recess 60 so dimensioned and in particular is so wide that it can accommodate the blocking system 50, but is not so wide that a support of the blocking system 50 would not be possible safely.

The closure means receiving pocket 30 is in turn formed so that the concealment means 40 extending toward the top of the tongue 10 out of the blocking system 50 through the aforementioned "buttonhole" of the closure means passage 20 can be easily and safely accommodated so that there is excess Shutters, especially shoelaces, do not hang around untidily outside the shoe.

Fig. 8 shows an enlarged view of an upper portion of the tongue 10 of a shoe according to the invention with a closure means bushing 20 which is pocket-shaped and adapted to receive a blocking system 50. The detailed view in FIG. 8 shows a shoe from a front view, so that the closure means 40 extends rearwardly into the closure means receiving pocket 30 (not visible in FIG. 8). This closure means receiving pocket 30 is clearly visible in Fig. 9, in which Fig. 9 shows how the locking means 40 extending out of the "buttonhole" can be accommodated, thus the tongue according to the invention advantageously comprises a double pocket system. on the one hand for fixing or blocking a closure means, namely preferably a lace, is provided, which extends through a pocket-shaped loop and the supernatant then in a closure means receiving pocket, which is arranged in a frontal view of the tongue behind the closure means passage 20 can be stowed ,
