Definitions
- the invention relates to a shoe, in particular for sports purposes, with a shaft extending upwards over the instep area of the shoe, containing bandages provided on the shaft, a central closure arranged in the instep area of the shoe with a rotatable closure element and an actuatable by means of the closure element, the shaft over the bandages closing cable.
- a closure part produced as a separate element is connected to the actual shoe body.
- This closure part contains a closure carrier consisting of a central zone and two lateral tabs, the rotatable closure element of a central closure being attached to the tongue and being connected to the lateral tabs by a cable.
- the rotatable closure element of the central closure is arranged on the tongue of the shoe which is designed in the usual way, the cable pull being in engagement with two lateral supports which are arranged on the lateral shaft parts adjacent to the tongue.
- the invention has for its object to develop a shoe of the type mentioned in such a way that using a conventionally designed and anatomically favorable location (namely in the instep area of the shoe) arranged a central closure of the shaft over its entire height is possible.
- This object is achieved in that the cable in the form of a single rope length is guided both over the part of the shaft located below the central lock and over the part of the shaft located above the central lock.
- the central closure thus remains at the location of the shoe body which is the most favorable for anatomical reasons and does not lead to pressure problems even when the closure is closed tightly (namely above the instep area of the shoe, just below the attachment of the upper shaft part).
- the cable according to the invention also runs over the part of the shaft located above the central lock. Since the cable is designed in the form of a single rope length, the usual central lock with a single rotatable locking element can be used, which lowers the manufacturing costs and enables a particularly flat construction of the central lock.
- the solution according to the invention is extremely suitable, for example, for a basketball boot. However, it can advantageously also be used in other sports shoes (such as tennis shoes, handball shoes, etc.), in particular for high-performance athletes.
- FIGS. 1 to 3 of the drawing Some exemplary embodiments of the invention are illustrated schematically in FIGS. 1 to 3 of the drawing.
- the shoe shown in FIG. 1 for example a basketball boot, contains a shaft 1 with a tongue 2 that extends upward over the instep area of the shoe.
- a closure carrier 3 On the tongue 2 there is a closure carrier 3 on which a central closure 4 is arranged. This central closure 4 is located approximately in the instep area of the shoe.
- a guide 5 for the cable 6 is provided on the tongue 2 above the central lock 4.
- the shoe illustrated in FIG. 1 contains a lower bandage 7 on both sides, which contain two fastening parts 8 and 9 running in the direction of the sole and a deflection part 10.
- the lower bandage 7 provided on the opposite side, not visible in FIG. 1, is of identical design.
- an upper bandage 11 encompassing the heel area, which likewise contains a deflecting part 12 at each of its two ends, adjacent to the tongue 2.
- the cable pull 6 Starting from the two ends of the cable pull 6 fastened to the rotatable locking element of the central lock 4, the cable pull initially runs upwards on both sides through the deflection guides provided in the two deflecting parts 12 and through the guide 5 located on the tongue 2. Then the cable pull 6 runs on down both sides, emerges from a deflection part 13 provided on the tongue 2 just above the central lock 4, passes through a first deflection guide 14 in the deflection part 10, then a deflection guide 15 in the closure support 3 and then a further deflection guide 16 in the deflection part 10 and finally a deflection guide 17 in the tongue 2.
- the guide 5 for the uppermost partial length of the cable 6 is designed as a slide and its height can be adjusted relative to the central lock 4, as indicated schematically in FIG.
- the uppermost part of the length of the cable 6 can be changed in its height and in this way the lacing in the end area of the shoe can be placed lower or higher as required.
- the closing pressure in the shaft area can be optimally adjusted in this way.
- the entire bandage 20 consists of two lateral fastening parts 21, 22, an upper bandage part 23 enclosing the heel area and two deflection parts 24 adjacent to the tongue 2, which in this exemplary embodiment are formed continuously over the entire bandage height are (while in the embodiment shown in Figure 1, the deflecting parts 10 and 12 are formed as separate elements).
- the cable 6 Starting from the two ends fastened to the central lock 4, the cable 6 initially runs upward to an upper deflection guide 25 in the deflection part 24, then through a deflection 26 in the guide 5 on the tongue 2, then through a deflection guide 27 in the deflection part 24, a deflection guide 28 in the closure carrier 3, a deflection guide 29 in the deflection part 24 and a deflection guide 30 in the tongue 2. Also in this embodiment, the cable therefore forms an upper loop on both sides in the shaft area above the central closure 4.
- FIG. 3 The embodiment of Figure 3 is similar to that of Figure 2.
- the same reference numerals are therefore used for the same elements.
- the shaft 1 of the shoe according to FIG. 3 is not quite as high as that of the shoe according to FIG. 2.
- the upper 1 extends somewhat over the central closure 4 arranged approximately in the instep area of the shoe.
- the cable 6 is guided obliquely upwards on both sides and, after a deflection in the upper deflection guide 25 of the deflection part 24, is again guided obliquely downwards in the direction of the central lock 4, where the next deflection in a deflection guide 31 on the closure carrier 3 is done.
- the cable is then deflected in a deflection guide 32 in the deflection part 24 of the bandage 20, then changes to the opposite side, where it is deflected again in a deflection guide 33 of the other bandage, in order then to enter a deflection guide 34 of the tongue 2.

Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung betrifft einen Schuh, insbesondere für Sportzwecke mit einem sich über den Ristbereich des Schuhes nach oben erstreckenden Schaft, enthaltend am Schaft vorgesehene Bandagen, einen im Ristbereich des Schuhes angeordneten Zentralverschluß mit drehbarem Verschlußelement sowie einen mittels des Verschlußelementes betätigbaren, den Schaft über die Bandagen schließenden Seilzug.The invention relates to a shoe, in particular for sports purposes, with a shaft extending upwards over the instep area of the shoe, containing bandages provided on the shaft, a central closure arranged in the instep area of the shoe with a rotatable closure element and an actuatable by means of the closure element, the shaft over the bandages closing cable.
Durch die DE-A-39 32 023.5 ist bereits ein Schuh bekannt, bei dem mit dem eigentlichen Schuhkörper ein als gesondertes Element hergestellter Verschlußteil verbunden ist. Dieser Verschlußteil enthält einen aus einer mittleren Zone und zwei seitlichen Lappen bestehenden Verschlußträger, wobei auf der Zunge das drehbare Verschlußelement eines Zentralverschlusses angebracht ist, das über einen Seilzug mit den seitlichen Lappen in Verbindung steht.From DE-A-39 32 023.5 a shoe is already known in which a closure part produced as a separate element is connected to the actual shoe body. This closure part contains a closure carrier consisting of a central zone and two lateral tabs, the rotatable closure element of a central closure being attached to the tongue and being connected to the lateral tabs by a cable.
Bei einem ähnlichen, aus der Praxis bekannten Schuh ist das drehbare Verschlußelement des Zentralverschlusses auf der in üblicher Weise ausgebildeten Zunge des Schuhes angeordnet, wobei der Seilzug mit zwei seitlichen Bandagen in Eingriff steht, die auf den an die Zunge angrenzenden seitlichen Schaftteilen angeordnet sind.In a similar shoe known from practice, the rotatable closure element of the central closure is arranged on the tongue of the shoe which is designed in the usual way, the cable pull being in engagement with two lateral supports which are arranged on the lateral shaft parts adjacent to the tongue.
Für Schuhe der vorstehend genannten Art geeignete Zentralverschlüsse sind beispielsweise durch die EP-A-0 393 380 und die EP-A-0 412 290 bekannt.Central closures suitable for shoes of the aforementioned type are known, for example, from EP-A-0 393 380 and EP-A-0 412 290.
Um bei Schuhen mit einem sich über den Ristbereich nach oben erstreckenden Schaft mittels eines Zentralverschlusses unterschiedliche Schließwege im Ristbereich und im oberen Schaftbereich zu erzielen, wurde ferner bereits vorgeschlagen (DE-U-92 00 982.4), den Zentralverschluß mit zwei unabhängig voneinander verstellbaren Spanneinrichtungen zu versehen und Kupplungsmittel anzubringen, über die wahlweise eine der beiden Spanneinrichtungen oder beide gemeinsam in Schließrichtung betätigt werden können.In the case of shoes with a shaft extending upwards over the instep area by means of a central lock To achieve different closing paths in the instep area and in the upper shaft area, it has also already been proposed (DE-U-92 00 982.4) to provide the central lock with two independently adjustable tensioning devices and to attach coupling means via which either one of the two tensioning devices or both together in Closing direction can be operated.
Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen Schuh der eingangs genannten Gattung dahin weiterzuentwickein, daß unter Verwendung eines in üblicher Weise ausgebildeten und an anatomisch günstiger Stelle (nämlich im Ristbereich des Schuhes) angeordneten Zentralverschlusses ein einwandfreies Schließen des Schaftes über seine gesamte Höhe möglich ist.The invention has for its object to develop a shoe of the type mentioned in such a way that using a conventionally designed and anatomically favorable location (namely in the instep area of the shoe) arranged a central closure of the shaft over its entire height is possible.
Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, daß der Seilzug in Form einer einzigen Seillänge sowohl über den unterhalb des Zentralverschlusses befindlichen Teil des Schaftes, als auch über den oberhalb des Zentralverschlusses befindlichen Teil des Schaftes geführt ist.This object is achieved in that the cable in the form of a single rope length is guided both over the part of the shaft located below the central lock and over the part of the shaft located above the central lock.
Bei der erfindungsgemäßen Lösung bleibt der Zentralverschluß somit an der Stelle des Schuhkörpers angeordnet, die aus anatomischen Gründen am günstigsten ist und auch bei engem Schließen des Verschlusses zu keinen Druckbeschwerden führt (nämlich über dem Ristbereich des Schuhes, dicht unterhalb des Ansatzes des oberen Schaftteiles).In the solution according to the invention, the central closure thus remains at the location of the shoe body which is the most favorable for anatomical reasons and does not lead to pressure problems even when the closure is closed tightly (namely above the instep area of the shoe, just below the attachment of the upper shaft part).
Um trotz dieser Lage des Zentralverschlusses auch den oberhalb des Zentralverschlusses befindlichen Teil des Schaftes einwandfrei zu schließen und damit dem Bein des Benutzers den erforderlichen Halt zu verleihen, läuft erfindungsgemäß der Seilzug auch über den oberhalb des Zentralverschlusses befindlichen Teil des Schaftes. Da der Seilzug hierbei in Form einer einzigen Seillänge ausgebildet ist, kann der übliche Zentralverschluß mit einem einzigen drehbaren Verschlußelement Verwendung finden, was die Herstellungskosten senkt und eine besonders flache Bauweise des Zentralverschlusses ermöglicht.In order in spite of this position of the central lock also the part of the top lock located above the central lock To close the shaft properly and thus to give the leg of the user the necessary support, the cable according to the invention also runs over the part of the shaft located above the central lock. Since the cable is designed in the form of a single rope length, the usual central lock with a single rotatable locking element can be used, which lowers the manufacturing costs and enables a particularly flat construction of the central lock.
Die erfindungsgemäße Lösung ist beispielsweise für einen Basketball-Stiefel hervorragend geeignet. Sie kann vorteilhaft jedoch auch bei sonstigen Sportschuhen (wie Tennisschuhen, Handballschuhen usw.), insbesondere für Hochleistungssportler, eingesetzt werden.The solution according to the invention is extremely suitable, for example, for a basketball boot. However, it can advantageously also be used in other sports shoes (such as tennis shoes, handball shoes, etc.), in particular for high-performance athletes.
Einige Ausführungsbeispiele der Erfindung sind in den Fig.1 bis 3 der Zeichnung schematisch veranschaulicht.Some exemplary embodiments of the invention are illustrated schematically in FIGS. 1 to 3 of the drawing.
Der in Fig.1 dargestellte Schuh, beispielsweise ein Basketball-Stiefel, enthält einen sich über den Ristbereich des Schuhes nach oben erstreckenden Schaft 1 mit einer Zunge 2.The shoe shown in FIG. 1, for example a basketball boot, contains a shaft 1 with a
Auf der Zunge 2 befindet sich ein Verschlußträger 3, auf dem ein Zentralverschluß 4 angeordnet ist. Dieser Zentralverschluß 4 befindet sich dabei etwa im Ristbereich des Schuhes.On the
Oberhalb des Zentralverschlusses 4 ist auf der Zunge 2 eine Führung 5 für den Seilzug 6 vorgesehen.A
Der in Fig.1 veranschaulichte Schuh enthält auf beiden Seiten je eine untere Bandage 7, die zwei in Richtung auf die Sohle verlaufende Befestigungsteile 8 und 9 sowie einen Umlenkteil 10 enthalten. Die auf der gegenüberliegenden, in Fig.1 nicht sichtbaren Seite vorgesehene untere Bandage 7 ist gleichartig ausgebildet.The shoe illustrated in FIG. 1 contains a
Außer diesen beiden unteren Bandagen 7 ist noch eine den Fersenbereich umfassende obere Bandage 11 vorgesehen, die an ihren beiden Enden, angrenzend an die Zunge 2, gleichfalls je einen Umlenkteil 12 enthält.In addition to these two
Ausgehend von den beiden am drehbaren Verschlußelement des Zentralverschlusses 4 befestigten Enden des Seilzuges 6 verlauft der Seilzug auf beiden Seiten zunächst nach oben durch die in den beiden Umlenkteilen 12 vorgesehenen Umlenkführungen sowie durch die auf der Zunge 2 befindliche Führung 5. Dann verläuft der Seilzug 6 auf beiden Seiten wieder nach unten, tritt aus einem auf der Zunge 2 dicht oberhalb des Zentralverschlusses 4 vorgesehenen Umlenkteil 13 aus, durchsetzt eine erste Umlenkführung 14 im Umlenkteil 10, dann eine Umlenkführung 15 im Verschlußträger 3 und hiernach eine weitere Umlenkführung 16 im Umlenkteil 10 und schließlich eine Umlenkführung 17 in der Zunge 2.Starting from the two ends of the
Um auch den oberhalb des Zentralverschlusses 4 befindlichen Schaftbereich zu schließen, beschreibt somit der Seilzug oberhalb des Zentralverschlusses 4 zwei obere Schlingen, ehe er zu den beiden unteren Bandagen 7 verläuft. Der von diesen beiden oberen Schlingen auf die obere Bandage 11 ausgeübte Zug gewährleistet ein einwandfreies Schließen des Schaftes.In order to also close the shaft area located above the
Um dabei den Schließdruck im oberen Schaftbereich individuell einstellen zu können, ist die Führung 5 für die oberste Teillänge des Seilzuges 6 als Schieber ausgebildet und in ihrer Höhenlage relativ zum Zentralverschluß 4 einstellbar, wie dies in Fig.1 schematisch angedeutet ist. Durch Höhenverstellung dieser Führung 5 kann die oberste Teillänge des Seilzuges 6 in ihrer Höhenlage verändert und auf diese Weise im Abschlußbereich des Schuhes die Schnürung je nach Bedarf tiefer oder höher gelegt werden. Trotz Verwendung des üblichen Zentralverschlusses mit einer einzigen Seillänge kann auf diese Weise der Schließdruck im Schaftbereich optimal eingestellt werden.In order to be able to individually adjust the closing pressure in the upper shaft area, the
Bei der in Fig.2 veranschaulichten abgewandelten Ausführung besteht die gesamte Bandage 20 aus je zwei seitlichen Befestigungsteilen 21, 22, einem den Fersenbereich umschließenden oberen Bandagenteil 23 sowie zwei an die Zunge 2 angrenzenden Umlenkteilen 24, die bei diesem Ausführungsbeispiel über die gesamte Bandagenhöhe durchgehend ausgebildet sind (während bei dem Ausführungsbeispiel gemäß Fig.1 die Umlenkteile 10 und 12 als gesonderte Elemente ausgebildet sind). Ausgehend von den beiden am Zentralverschluß 4 befestigten Enden verläuft der Seilzug 6 zunächst nach oben zu einer oberen Umlenkführung 25 im Umlenkteil 24, dann durch eine Umlenkung 26 in der Führung 5 auf der Zunge 2, dann durch eine Umlenkführung 27 im Umlenkteil 24, eine Umlenkführung 28 im Verschlußträger 3, eine Umlenkführung 29 im Umlenkteil 24 und eine Umlenkführung 30 in der Zunge 2. Auch bei diesem Ausführungsbeispiel bildet der Seilzug somit auf beiden Seiten je eine obere Schlinge im Schaftbereich oberhalb des Zentralverschlusses 4.In the modified embodiment illustrated in FIG. 2, the
Das Ausführungsbeispiel gemäß Fig.3 ähnelt dem der Fig.2. Für gleiche Elemente sind daher dieselben Bezugszeichen verwendet. Der Schaft 1 des Schuhes gemäß Fig.3 ist nicht ganz so hoch wie der des Schuhes gemäß Fig.2. Auch hierbei erstreckt sich jedoch der Schaft 1 etwas über den etwa im Ristbereich des Schuhes angeordneten Zentralverschluß 4.The embodiment of Figure 3 is similar to that of Figure 2. The same reference numerals are therefore used for the same elements. The shaft 1 of the shoe according to FIG. 3 is not quite as high as that of the shoe according to FIG. 2. Here, too, however, the upper 1 extends somewhat over the
Ausgehend vom Zentralverschluß 4 ist der Seilzug 6 auf beiden Seiten schräg nach oben geführt und nach einer Umlenkung in der oberen Umlenkführung 25 des Umlenkteiles 24 wieder schräg nach unten in Richtung auf den Zentralverschluß 4 geführt, wo die nächste Umlenkung in einer Umlenkführung 31 auf dem Verschlußträger 3 erfolgt. Der Seilzug wird dann in einer Umlenkführung 32 im Umlenkteil 24 der Bandage 20 umgelenkt, wechselt dann auf die gegenüberliegende Seite, wo er in einer Umlenkführung 33 der anderen Bandage erneut umgelenkt wird, um dann in eine Umlenkführung 34 der Zunge 2 einzutreten.Starting from the
