Definitions

  • the invention relates to an insert for a shoe according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • an insert for a shoe according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • Such an insert is known from German utility model DE-U-88 15 448, which corresponds to the subsequently published EP 0 373 336 A1, and consists of hard, resilient Plate material, preferably of uniform thickness, which has a transverse profile running transversely to the longitudinal direction of the sole, the insert extending over the entire extent of the sole of the foot.
  • This insert is suitable for a wide variety of shoes, such as street shoes, sports shoes, boots, sandals, sandals, sneakers or the like.
  • the insert and sole according to the present invention can, moreover, optionally have all the features of the insert and sole of the layer-forming document, unless these features are excluded by the present inventive features in the respective embodiment of the present invention, and for this purpose the entire content the generic document and the above-mentioned corresponding European patent application made by this reference with the disclosure content of the present documents.
  • the object of the present invention is, in particular, to design an insert and a shoe provided with an insert of the above type in such a way that the biomechanical and physical laws are not significantly impaired by the walk or walked with shoes and, moreover, their support is preferably even supported and promoted , so that it is preferred to make available an insert which corresponds to a great extent to these biomechanical and physical laws and which, when used as a sole, results in shoes which, in accordance with the respective practical provision, result in the best possible effect of these laws in practice.
  • the task of a shoe is to guide the foot, to support it, to cushion the impact and to serve the foot as a tool. These tasks are very diverse and cannot be optimally performed by a shoe. This can be seen from the fact that a large number of shoes are designed for special areas of application. There are mountain shoes, indoor sports shoes, tennis shoes, javelin shoes, ski shoes, boxing shoes, soccer shoes, golf shoes and many more.
  • a hard insert or insole which preferably consists of metal, in particular spring steel.
  • This insert or insole is designed in such a way that it has transverse profiles transverse to the longitudinal direction of the foot, which make this insert or insole movable in the longitudinal direction, still give it a certain amount of torsional freedom, but keep it largely stable in the transverse direction.
  • This insole or insole shows many advantages, but it does not or does not take sufficient account of many peculiarities of the biomechanical laws, especially the sport-specific loads.
  • the object of the present invention is therefore, in particular, to provide an insert and its use as a sole which is designed in special areas in such a way that sports-specific and / or foot-appropriate loads are made possible which the insert or sole proposed in the prior art does not enables.
  • This object is solved by the features of claim 1.
  • transverse profile extends essentially or approximately perpendicular to the line of the force application points or comprises several areas of different inclination to the longitudinal axis of the insert.
  • the amortization phase which is the phase in which the foot stands on the floor while running, at the moment of the dynamic running movement.
  • the line of force application points winds from the point of impact over the center of the heel in the area of the outer edge of the foot, from there to the center of the ball and from there to the big toe or the second toe.
  • the line of the force application points is changed and the foot is brought into a constrained position by a relatively rigid, generic insert, in particular made of spring steel, with flat corrugations or other profiles.
  • the relevant development of the insert proposed according to the species should be designed according to the invention in such a way that the profiling of the insert runs perpendicularly or approximately perpendicularly to the line of the force application points and not perpendicularly to the longitudinal axis of the sole.
  • This profiling may run along the line of the gravity plummet, but must run approximately across the line of the force application points, because then the ground reaction forces can be most safely transferred to the foot or from the foot to the floor. This in turn should have an accelerating effect on the runner's foot.
  • the insert according to the invention can be used as an insole or as part of an insole; or as an insole or as part of an insole; or used as a sole reinforcement connected to a sole.
  • FIG. 1 shows an insert 1, which consists of a central, longitudinal core 2 which, in accordance with the insert proposed in EP 0 373 336, has a meandering transverse profile.
  • 1 shows the course of the line of the force application points and the profiling directions approximately perpendicular to the course of the line of the force application points 22.
  • Lips 3 (FIG. 2) can be provided on this central core 2 or longitudinal element, which go to the outer edge of the foot and which do not be more involved in the wavy structure, but run smoothly.
  • the lips 3 can have different lengths and different widths, namely in accordance with a locally different damping behavior, as is required.
  • the lips 3 are through recesses 6 formed in the profiling of the insert 1 and in this insert form distributed over the entire length of the insert both on the inside and on the outside.
  • FIG. 2 shows an oblique view of part of the insert 1 of FIG. 1, the material preferably consisting of spring steel and the lips 3 being flat in the present case.
  • FIG. 3 shows a section of the insert 1 of FIG. 1, the meandering configuration of the main piece 2 of the binary layer 1 being recognizable.
  • the lips or plates 3 are bent upwards in the region of their ends 16.
  • FIG. 4 also shows a partial section of the insert 1 with the core piece 2.
  • the lips 3 are bent downward in the end region 17 and produce a groove which is open at the bottom, whereby a trampoline effect is brought about under axial load. It is different from shoe to shoe specificity whether the plates or lips 3 come to rest on the upper or lower part of the meander.
  • FIG. 5 shows a two-part insert, consisting of the forefoot part 18 and the rear foot part 19, which are independent of one another and are connected to one another by means of a torsion element 20, namely on riveted plates 21. No other detailed embodiment of the insert is shown.
  • FIG. 6 shows a toe cap 33 riveted onto the insert 1 (not shown in more detail) in a top view and an oblique view.
  • FIG. 7 shows the rear foot area of a meandering profiled insert 1 made of spring steel.
  • a steel spring element 39 projects into the interior of the shoe and is fixed on the outside with a rivet 34 on the insert 1.
  • a damping element can be accommodated in the intermediate space 40.
  • the insert 1 from FIG. 1, which is also shown in FIG. 2, is preferably foamed or installed in a shoe sole.
  • the gaps created by the profiling are preferably foamed or provided with other material.
  • the lips 3 can then bend upwards under load and then take with them the sole material and shaft material which is located on the outside of the foot. Thanks to their bending, they allow better contact between the outside or inside of the foot and the floor when there is a corresponding load. Due to the different design of the plates or lips 3 in terms of their length and width, the warping behavior can be designed differently depending on the sport.
  • the hard, resilient plate material from which the insert 1 according to the invention is made can be metal and / or plastic plate material, preferably steel sheet, particularly preferably spring steel sheet. Furthermore, the hard, resilient plate material preferably has a thickness between 0.1 and 1.5 mm, particularly preferably between 0.3 and 0.5 mm.
  • the transverse profiling which is not shown in all the figures of the drawing for reasons of the simplified illustration, but, unless stated otherwise, extends over the entire insert, can have grooves, grooves, ribs, grooves, waves, in cross-section. , be corrugated or beaded, preferably meandering, trapezoidal, zigzag or meandering.
  • the width of the periodically repeating cross-section elements is preferably 3 mm to 20 mm, more preferably 6 mm to 16 mm, particularly preferably 8 mm to 13 mm.
