Abstract

Shoe, including a relatively thin inner sole, an outer sole and an elastic intermediate sole disposed between the inner and outer soles, defining a tip, a heel, and regions accommodating the toes, the roots of the toes and the ball of the foot including a step point, the inner sole being substantially horizontal from the tip of the shoe to a location between the step point of the region accommodating the ball of the foot and the heel of the shoe, the intermediate sole having a relatively strong construction in vicinity of the region accommodating the ball of the foot and having an upwardly tapered section from the region accommodating the roots of the toes to the tip of the shoe, the intermediate sole having a multiplicity of holes formed therein in the region accommodating the toes for additionally reducing the hardness of the intermediate sole in the region accommodating the toes.

Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf einen Schuh nach dem Obergriff des Anspruches 1.The invention relates to a shoe according to the upper handle of claim 1.

Es sind Schuhe bekannt, bei denen sowohl die Brandsohle als auch die Laufsohle und - falls vorhanden-auch dieZwischensohle zur Schuhspitze hin nach oben gerichtet sind, um ein Abrollen des Fusses beim Gehen zu ermöglichen. Durch die zur Schuhspitze hin hochgezogene Brandsohle liegen jedoch die M ittelfussköpfe tiefer als die Zehenkuppen. Dies verhindert aber die angestrebte Greifbewegung der Zehen, vielmehr führt es zu einem Abknicken des Fusses beim Gehen, was viele orthopädische Nachteile wie Fussdeformationen zur Folge hat. Die Zehen sind in den bekannten Schuhen zur Passivität verurteilt, und dadurch wird das ganze Sehnen-, Muskel- und Bändersystem des Fusses gestört. Ein aus dem Buch von Peter R. Cavanagh "The Running Shoe Book", 1980, S. 168 bis 171, bekannter Schuh hat am Abrollpunkt eine Sohlenstärke von nur 12 mm und seine Zwischensohle hat eine Lochung vom Gelenk bis zur Zehenwurzel. Dadurch wird die Sohle besonders weich unter dem Ballen und der Abrollpunkt liegt weit hinter dem Ballen, wodurch der Fuss beim Gehen abknickt, anstatt die natürliche Greifbewegung der Zehen zu ermöglichen. Die bei Cavanagh angegebene Lochung der Zwischensohle hat also eine negative Wirkung. Die durch diese Lochung bewirkte Weichheit wird vom Fuss zwar im Moment als angenehm empfunden, in der Folge jedoch wird der Fuss bei vielem Tragen des Schuhes erheblich geschädigt, denn die absolut weiche Gestaltung der Schuhsohle stellt auch für den Erwachsenen keinen richtigen Ausweg aus dieser Situation dar, weil eine Sohle von der Dicke und dem Weichheitsgrad des Oberleders des Schuhes den Fuss nicht vor Kälte, Nässe und Verletzungen durch Unebenheiten und spitze Steine schützen kann und die Mehrzahl der Füsse heute bereits so geschädigt sind, dass sie durch den Schuh einen festen Halt benötigen.Shoes are known in which both the insole and the outsole and, if present, also the midsole are directed upwards towards the tip of the shoe in order to allow the foot to roll off when walking. However, due to the insole being pulled up towards the tip of the shoe, the metatarsal heads are lower than the toe tips. However, this prevents the desired gripping movement of the toes, rather it causes the foot to bend when walking, which has many orthopedic disadvantages such as foot deformations. In the well-known shoes, the toes are condemned to passivity, and this disrupts the entire tendon, muscle and ligament system of the foot. A shoe known from the book by Peter R. Cavanagh " The Running Shoe Book", 1980, pp. 168 to 171 has a sole thickness of only 12 mm at the unwinding point and its midsole has a perforation from the joint to the root of the toe. This makes the sole particularly soft under the ball of the foot and the roll-off point lies far behind the ball of the foot, causing the foot to bend when walking instead of allowing the toes to grip naturally. The perforation of the midsole specified by Cavanagh therefore has a negative effect. The softness caused by this perforation is perceived as pleasant by the foot at the moment, but as a result the foot is considerably damaged when the shoe is worn a lot, because the absolutely soft design of the shoe sole does not provide a correct way out of this situation for adults either , because a sole of the thickness and softness of the upper leather of the shoe cannot protect the foot from cold, wetness and injuries due to bumps and pointed stones and the majority of the feet are already so damaged today that they need a firm hold due to the shoe .

Die US-PS Nr. 4043058 zeigt einen Schuh mit einer Zwischensohle, die im Bereich hinter dem Ballenauftritt bis zur Schuhspitze im wesentlichen waagerecht verläuft. Die Patentschrift gibt aber keinen Hinweis dafür, dass das auch für die Brandsohle gelten soll. Dies ist aber der entscheidende Unterschied zu allen bisher bekannten und auf dem Markt befindlichen Schuhen, denn nur durch einen waagerechten Verlauf der Brandsohle in diesem Bereich wird die angestrebte Greifbewegung der Zehen, die der natürlichen Ablaufbewegung des Fusses beim Gehen entspricht, ermöglicht.US Pat. No. 4043058 shows a shoe with a midsole that runs essentially horizontally in the area behind the ball area to the toe of the shoe. However, the patent specification gives no indication that this should also apply to the insole. But this is the decisive difference to all previously known and on the market shoes, because only a horizontal course of the insole in this area enables the desired gripping movement of the toes, which corresponds to the natural movement of the foot when walking.

Der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine gesunde Stellung des Fusses im Schuh und eine natürliche Abroll- und Greifbewegung des Fusses beim Gehen zu gewährleisten.The present invention has for its object to ensure a healthy position of the foot in the shoe and a natural rolling and gripping movement of the foot when walking.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäss durch die kennzeichnenden Merkmale des Anspruches 1 gelöst. Der waagerechte Verlauf der Brandsohle im vorderen Teil des Schuhes garantiert, dass die Zehenkuppen in der Ruhestellung auf der gleichen Höhe wie die Mittelfussköpfe liegen. Die starke Spitzensprengung der Zwischensohle, d.h., die nach oben gerichtete Verjüngung der Sohle zur Schuhspitze hin ermöglicht die Abrollbewegung beim Gehen.According to the invention, this object is achieved by the characterizing features of claim 1. The horizontal course of the insole in the front part of the shoe guarantees that the toe tips are at the same height as the metatarsal heads in the rest position. The strong tip blasting of the midsole, i.e. the upward tapering of the sole towards the tip of the shoe enables the rolling movement when walking.

Der Schuh nach der vorliegenden Erfindung hat einen Teilsohlenaufbau der Zwischensohle, wobei die zwei Teilsohlen unterschiedliche Materialhärten aufweisen, eine besonders auffällige Vielzahl von Löchern im Zehenbereich, eine Zwischensohle, die im Ballenbereich stärker als die bekannten Schuhe ausgebildet ist, und eine Brandsohle, die im Zehenbereich nicht ansteigt. DieZwischensohle verjüngt sich erst ab der Zehenwurzel zur Schuhspitze bis auf 1 bis 0 mm Stärke, so dass die Zehen bei der Schrittabwicklung tiefer greifen können, als es der Lage der Mittelfussköpfe entspricht. Neu ist ferner die Anordnung der Lochungen und die dadurch erzielte Wirkung. Sie hattrotz ihrer Flexibilität eine fibrierende, stützende Funktion.The shoe according to the present invention has a partial sole structure of the midsole, the two partial soles having different material hardnesses, a particularly conspicuous number of holes in the toe area, a midsole which is stronger in the ball area than the known shoes, and an insole which is in the toe area does not rise. The midsole only tapers from the root of the toe to the tip of the shoe to a thickness of 1 to 0 mm, so that the toes can grip deeper than the position of the midfoot heads when processing the crotch. Another new feature is the arrangement of the perforations and the effect achieved thereby. Despite its flexibility, it has a vibrating, supportive function.

In dem erfindungsgemässen Schuh werden die Zehen voll aktiviert und dadurch eine vollkommen natürliche Sehnen-, Muskel- und Bänderfunktion erreicht, wodurch eine stützende Wirkung auf das gesamte Fussskelettzustande kommt. Die normale Schrittabwicklung kann nur durch diesen starken Greifvorgang der Zehen erfolgen, in welchem die Zehen in der letzten Phase der Schrittabwicklung in der Lage sind, das gesamte Körpergewicht zu tragen.In the shoe according to the invention, the toes are fully activated and a completely natural tendon, muscle and ligament function is achieved, as a result of which a supportive effect on the entire condition of the foot skeleton is achieved. The normal step development can only take place through this strong gripping process of the toes, in which the toes are able to carry the entire body weight in the last phase of the step processing.

Die Erfindung wird nachfolgend anhand eines in der Zeichnung dargestellten Ausführungsbeispieles näher beschrieben und erläutert. Es zeigen:

  • Fig. 1 einen Schuh in der Seitenansicht, und
  • Fig. 2 die Zwischensohle des Schuhes gemäss Fig. 1 in der Ansicht von unten.
The invention is described and explained in more detail below with reference to an embodiment shown in the drawing. Show it:
  • Fig. 1 shows a shoe in side view, and
  • Fig. 2 shows the midsole of the shoe of FIG. 1 in a view from below.

Der Schuh gemäss Fig. 1 weist eine vom Bereich 9 hinter dem Ballenauftrittspunkt bis zur Schuhspitze waagerecht verlaufende Brandsohle 10 und eine dünne, aus flexiblem Material bestehende Laufsohle 11 auf. Zwischen beiden Sohlen 10 und 11 ist eine elastische Zwischensohle 12 angeordnet, die besonders stark ausgeführt ist. Ihre Stärke bemisstsich nach der Schuhgrösse und beträgt im Ballenbereich 17 bis 26 mm. Vom Bereich der Zehenwurzel ab verjüngt sie sich zur Schuhspitze hin auf 1 bis 0 mm, wobei sie-da ihre Oberseite an der waagerecht verlaufenden Brandsohle 10 anliegt - mit ihrer Unterseite nach oben gerichtet verläuft. Dadurch wird eine optimale Abrollung des Fusses beim Gehen erreicht, ohne dass es zu einem Abknicken der Zehengelenke kommt.The shoe according to FIG. 1 has an insole 10 which runs horizontally from the area 9 behind the ball entry point to the tip of the shoe and a thin outsole 11 made of flexible material. An elastic midsole 12, which is particularly strong, is arranged between the two soles 10 and 11. Their thickness is based on the shoe size and is 17 to 26 mm in the ball area. From the area of the toe root it tapers to the tip of the shoe to 1 to 0 mm, whereby - since its top lies against the horizontally running insole 10 - its underside is directed upwards. This ensures optimal rolling of the foot when walking without causing the toe joints to bend.

Die Zwischensohle ist in zwei Sohlen 21 und 22 geteilt, die miteinander verklebt sind. Die obere Sohle 21 nimmt von der Ferse zur Schuhspitze hin keilförmig ab und weist eine geringere Elastizität als die untere Sohle 22 auf. Dadurch wird erreicht, dass der Schuh Unebenheiten des Weges, spitze Steine od. dgl. durch die höhere Stabilität des Schuhes und Führung des Fusses durch die geringere Elastizität der oberen Sohle 21 aber gewährleistet bleibt.The midsole is divided into two soles 21 and 22 which are glued together. The upper sole 21 decreases in a wedge shape from the heel to the tip of the shoe and has a lower elasticity than the lower sole 22. This ensures that the unevenness of the path, pointed stones or the like remains guaranteed by the higher stability of the shoe and guidance of the foot by the lower elasticity of the upper sole 21.

Beide Sohlen 21 und 22 weisen Löcher 13 und 14 zur Herabsetzung der Härte der Sohlen in definierten Bereichen auf. Dabei sind die Löcher 13 und 14 in der oberen Sohle 21 vorteilhafterweise versetzt gegenüber denjenigen in der unteren Sohle 22 angeordnet. Ferner weist die obere Sohle 21 eine geringere Anzahl von Löchern 13 und 14 als die untere Sohle 22 auf, um einen Unterschied in der Elastizität beider Sohlen aufrechtzuerhalten.Both soles 21 and 22 have holes 13 and 14 to reduce the hardness of the soles in defined areas. The holes are 13 and 14 in the upper sole 21 are advantageously offset from those in the lower sole 22. Furthermore, the upper sole 21 has a smaller number of holes 13 and 14 than the lower sole 22 in order to maintain a difference in the elasticity of both soles.

Die Lochung der gesamten Zwischensohle 12 erhöht die Bodenfühlung und Anpassungsfähigkeit des Fusses insbesondere in unebenem Gelände. Dadurch wird das Unfallrisiko durch Umknikken des Fusses verringert. Die Löcher 14 sind insbesondere im Bereich der Ferse zur Fersenmitte hin angeordnet, damit die Fussferse zur Schuhmittelachse hin geführt wird.The perforation of the entire midsole 12 increases the feeling of the ground and the adaptability of the foot, particularly in uneven terrain. This reduces the risk of accidents by bending your foot. The holes 14 are arranged in particular in the area of the heel towards the center of the heel so that the heel of the foot is guided towards the center axis of the shoe.

Die Löcher 13 und 14 können sowohl als Durchgangslöcher wie auch als Sacklöcher ausgebildet sein. Im letztgenannten Fall ist es zweckmässig, die Sacklöcher auf der Unterseite der Zwischensohle 12 anzuordnen.The holes 13 and 14 can be designed both as through holes and as blind holes. In the latter case, it is expedient to arrange the blind holes on the underside of the midsole 12.

Die Brandsohle 10 ist im Ausführungsbeispiel fest mit der Zwischensohle 12 und dem Oberleder 15 des Schuhes verbunden. Die Brandsohle 10 kann jedoch auch als auswechselbares Fussbett ausgebildet sein. Dann besteht nämlich die Möglichkeit, dass Fussbett in unterschiedlichen Härtegraden zur Verfügung zu stellen, so dass der Schuhträger bei hartem Boden ein weicheres Fussbett und bei weichem Boden ein härteres Fussbett wählen kann.In the exemplary embodiment, the insole 10 is firmly connected to the midsole 12 and the upper leather 15 of the shoe. The insole 10 can, however, also be designed as an exchangeable footbed. Then there is the possibility of making the footbed available in different degrees of hardness, so that the shoe wearer can choose a softer footbed for hard ground and a harder footbed for soft ground.

Auf der Seite der Grosszehe weisen sä tliche Sohlen 10 bis 12 einen nahezu gerade ver ufenden Rand auf, so dass die Sohlen ein nat"rliches Abbild des Fusses sind und die Zehen i Schuh nicht in widernatürlicher Weise zusammengedrückt werden.On the side of the big toe, all soles 10 to 12 have an almost straight edge, so that the soles are a natural image of the foot and the toes in the shoe are not pressed together in an unnatural manner.

Die erst im Bereich der Zehenwurzel beginnende Aufbiegung der Laufsohle 11 und die waagerechte Führung der Brandsohle 10 vom Bereich 9 ab zur Schuhspitze hin ermöglichen in Kombination mit einer weichen Zehenbettung die natürliche Beugebewegung der Zehen im Schuh in bisher nicht verwirklichter Weise.The bending of the outsole 11, which begins only in the area of the toe root, and the horizontal guidance of the insole 10 from the area 9 to the tip of the shoe, in combination with a soft toe bedding, enable the natural flexion of the toes in the shoe in a manner not previously achieved.

Der erfindungsgemässe Schuh kann in üblicher Weise durch Zusammensetzen aus verschiedenen Materialien hergestellt werden. Er kann auch im Ganzen oder in Teilen durch Spritzen oder Prägen gefertigt werden.The shoe according to the invention can be produced in the usual way by assembling it from different materials. It can also be manufactured in whole or in part by spraying or embossing.
