Definitions
- the present invention relates to a shoe, in particular a sports shoe with laces provided on the side, according to the preamble of claim 1.
- Such a shoe is known from the DD patent 89 796.
- a shield provided above the instep, which covers the fastening means present under this shield for fastening the shoe to the foot.
- the shield is attached to the front of the shoe and forms a kind of cover tongue, which has a number of laced holes on both side edges. Each of these lace holes is spaced by a series of further lace holes which are provided in tabs fastened to the shaft.
- the shield and the associated laces can also be provided as the sole closure means.
- Closing the shoe and loosening the closure by means of the two laces is relatively complicated and requires a considerable amount of time.
- the object of the present invention is therefore to achieve a lacing of the known type such that both a quick-release fastener and a quick release of the fastener can be achieved. This object is achieved by the features of claim 1.
- the pull tab can be quickly brought into the closed position with a short pull and any subsequent loop formation, and can be released again just as quickly by opening the loop. This is particularly advantageous in the case of shoes which are used, for example, in triathlon competitions, since the set-up times, i.e. the times required for putting on and taking off such shoes can have a major impact on the competitive result.

- Fig. 7 is a plan view of the shoe according to the invention according to Fig. 6, but with a central rotary lock for closing and opening the side lacing. 1 and 2, a shoe 1 with side lacing 2 is shown. In the exemplary embodiment, this is provided on the lacing side 3, here the inside 1.1 of the shoe 1.
- Two rows 4 and 5 of lacing holes 4.1, 4.2, 4.3 and 5.1, 5.2, 5.3 are provided for the lacing 2.
- the first row 4 of laced holes is provided on the sole 6 in the area of the same or on at least one upwardly projecting tab or the tabs 7.1, 7.2, 7.3 shown, for example also attached to the shoe upper.
- the second row 5 of lacing holes is attached to a sign designed as a pull tab 8 and freely movable over the instep 9 at a distance from the first row 4 of the lacing holes.
- the pull tab 8 itself has a single pull point 8.1 at the point 5 located opposite the row 5 of laced holes in the pulling direction, at which point it is firmly connected to a train 10 which can be changed and locked in length 10.1.
- the train connection 10, which in the exemplary embodiment is designed as a drawstring or drawstring, is looped through a laced hole 11.1 of a pull tab 11.
- the rear pull tab 11 is fastened on the side opposite the lacing side 3, here the outer side 1.2 of the shoe 1. This outside 1.2 is the actual closure side 12 of the shoe 1, as will be explained later.
- the lacing side 3 can also be provided on the outside 1.2 and the closure side 12 on the inside 1.1 of the shoe 1 with the same result.
- the rear pull tab 11 preferably extends from the heel 1.3 of the shoe 1 in the pulling direction to the upper instep area 9.1 or to the middle instep area 9.2. It can lie in an area in front of the ankle to below the ankle and it is fixedly or movably connected to the shoe 1 or is operatively connected such that it can be subjected to tension in the direction of closure.
- the laced hole 11.1 is located at its free end 11.2 on the instep side.
- the pull tab 8 consists of a tensile, flexible material with a low coefficient of friction. Plastics made from or based on polyamide, polyethylene or polyurethane have proven to be suitable. However, other plastics or materials are also suitable, for example metals such as stainless steel, spring bronze or the like.
- the pull tab 8 preferably has a thickness of approximately 0.2 to 3 mm, in particular approximately 0.3 to 2 mm. It can consist of a single plate. However, it advantageously has three or more fingers 8.2, 8.3, 8.4 which extend from the pull point 8.1 to the lacing side 3 in a fan-like manner, at the free ends of which there is a lacing hole 5.1, 5.2 or 5.3 of the second row 5 of lacing holes.
- a shoelace 13 is pulled zigzag from one row to the other.
- Whose front end 13.1 is first pulled through a front lacing hole 19.1 of a tab 19 provided on the closure side 12 and then fastened on the lacing side 3 in the area of the front shoe 1.4, preferably in the area of the sole 6, in particular above it.
- the attachment can also take place after the looping through the laced hole 5.1 if the tab 19 and its laced hole 19.1 are not considered necessary.
- the front end 13.1 of the shoelace 13 can also be fastened after being looped through the laced hole 4.1 on the closure side 12.
- the rear free part 13.2 of the shoelace 13 is looped through a lacing hole 14.1 of a pull tab 14 which can withstand tensile loads from the heel 1.3 to the upper instep region 9.1. It can preferably be locked in the closed position, but can also be locked in other positions.
- the lock can be made on the shoe 1 on the lacing side 3 or on the closure side 12 in a fixed or preferably changeable manner.
- the locking can take place with free choice of the length of the exciting part of the shoelace 13 according to the necessary lacing tension, for example by fastening by means of a row of press studs, a Velcro fastener, a lever fastener or by tying with the free end 10.2 of the train connection 10.
- the attachment and length determination are carried out by lacing with the train connection 10.
- the free end 10.2 of the train connection 10 designed as a drawstring or drawstring can be connected to one another with the rear free part 13.2 of the shoelace 13, for example by tying a loop.
- the operation of the lacing according to the invention is as follows: When pulling on the rear free part 13.2 of the shoelace 13, the two rows 4 and 5 of laced holes are pulled against one another in a known manner. With this measure, the shoe 1 is essentially adapted to the shape of the foot. If the free rear part 13.2 of the shoelace 13 is lashed tight with the free end 10.2 of the train connection 10 and tied into a loop, then the lacing 2 is slightly tightened on the one hand, but essentially the pull tab 8 is pulled in the direction of the heel 1.3 and thereby a quick one Closing the shoe 1 reached. Conversely, when the loop is opened, the pull tab 8 is immediately relieved, so that the shoe 1 opens very quickly without the lacing 2 having to be loosened strongly. From the mode of operation of the lacing arrangement, as well as from the design of the pull tab 8 with the train connection 10, it also follows that, in the exemplary embodiment, the outside 1.2 of the shoe is designated as the closure side 12 because the actual closing and opening process takes place here.
- the lacing 2 does not necessarily have to be on the side or lacing side of the shoe 1. It can also be arranged up to the instep 9 and possibly even beyond it up to the closure side 12. This depends on the length 10.1 of the train connection 10 required for closing.
- the shoelace 13 is preferably made of a material with a low coefficient of friction.
- plastics made of or based on polyamide, polyimide, polyacrylic or polyester are suitable.
- the train connection 10 can also consist of one of these materials.
- the train connection 10 with the free part 10.2 and the rear part 13.2 of the shoelace 13 advantageously consists of a material with a higher coefficient of friction or they are manufactured in such a way that they have a higher coefficient of friction. In this way, a better closing force of the loop to be tied can be generated.
- These parts can also be made of cotton.
- the rear part 13.2 of the shoelace 13 with a higher coefficient of friction is fastened to the remaining part, for example by sewing and / or gluing the two shoelace parts 13, 13.2 to one another or to one another.
- the shoelace 13 and the train connection 10 preferably consist of a woven or knitted fabric.
- the shoelace 13 is preferably designed as a band.
- a fabric tape which has stronger transverse ribs, that is to say is produced in the manner of a grosgrain fabric, has proven to be advantageous.
- a further improvement of the lacing over the instep 9, for example in the central instep region 9.2 or in the region of the midfoot, can be achieved by means of a special tensioning element 15, as is shown with reference to FIGS. 3 to 5.
- the tensioning element 15 is fastened on the closure side 12, for example in the sole area or shaft area.
- the tensioning element 15 runs over the instep 9, preferably over a central instep region 9.2 and / or optionally over a front instep region 9.3 or in the region of the forefoot between the metatarsus and the basic toe joints.
- the part of the tensioning element 15 running to the lacing side 3 is looped with the end part 15.1 through or through the particularly rectangular lacing eyelet 4.2 fixedly attached to the shoe 1 and fixed to a movable lacing eyelet 4.4 attached.
- the shoelace 13 is looped through the lace opening 4.4.1 of the movable lace eyelet 4.4.
- the movable eyelet 4.4 When pulling on the shoelace 13, the movable eyelet 4.4 is pulled in the direction of the instep 9. As a result, the end part 15.1 of the tensioning element 15 fastened to the lacing eyelet 4.4 is also pulled in the direction of the instep 9, thereby increasing the distance 16 between the lacing eyelets 4.2 and 4.4. Thus, the length of the tension 17 of the tensioning element 15 between its fastening point on the shoe 1 and its wrap 18 of the lace eyelet 4.2 is reduced, and thus a separate tensioning over the instep 9 is achieved.
- the tensioning element 15 consists of a material that is as tensile as possible, such as leather, textile material or plastic. It can be attached to the shaft material, for example sewn on and / or glued on.
- a rope-like tensioning element can also be used to close the shoe, which can be actuated by means of a central twist lock, as is known, for example, from EP 0 559 648 B1.
- a closure is shown in which the closing tension does not act as strongly towards the heel as in the embodiment according to FIGS. 1 to 4.
- the train connection 10 in the middle shoe area 20 for the metatarsus is direct or indirectly, for example via a strap or loop, on the shoe 1 attached.
- the attachment takes place on or above the sole 6.
- the pull tab 8 has a tie hole 8.1.1 instead of the pull point 8.1.
- the free end 10.2 of the train connection 10 is first looped through the laced hole 8.1.1 of the pull tab 8 and then through the laced hole 11.1 of the rear pull tab 11 (see FIG. 2).
- the tension can be oriented more or less in the direction transverse to the instep or more in the direction of the heel 1.3. The effect of quick opening and quick locking remains completely intact.
- the free end 13.2 of the laces 13 can, as shown in FIG. 6, be pulled from the rearmost lacing hole 14.1 over the upper region 9.1 of the instep 9 to the closure side 12 and preferably attached or fastened there, for example, at approximately the same height or also lower the fastening point 21.
- a Velcro fastener 22 can be attached to the top of the free end 13.2 crossing the instep 9.
- a Velcro fastener part 23 is attached to the underside of the free end 10.2 of the train connection 10, which forms the counterpart to the Velcro fastener part 22.

Description
Schuh, insbesondere Sportschuh Shoe, in particular sports shoe
Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft einen Schuh, insbesondere Sportschuh mit seitlich vorgesehener Schnürung gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.The present invention relates to a shoe, in particular a sports shoe with laces provided on the side, according to the preamble of claim 1.
Ein derartiger Schuh ist aus der DD-Patentschrift 89 796 bekannt. Dort ist über dem Rist ein Schild vorgesehen, der die unter diesem Schild zur Befestigung des Schuhes am Fuß vorhandenen Befestigungsmittel abdeckt. Der Schild ist vorn am Schuh befestigt und bildet eine Art Abdeckzunge, welche an beiden Seitenrändern eine Anzahl von Schnürlöchern aufweist. Diesen Schnürlöchern steht jeweils eine Reihe von weiteren Schnürlöchern mit Abstand gegenüber, die in am Schaft befestigten Lappen vorgesehen sind. Je nach Schnürung auf beiden Seiten kann die Lage des Schildes und die Stärke der Schnürung verändert werden. Der Schild und die zugeordneten Schnürungen können auch als alleinige Verschlussmittel vorgesehen sein.Such a shoe is known from the DD patent 89 796. There is a shield provided above the instep, which covers the fastening means present under this shield for fastening the shoe to the foot. The shield is attached to the front of the shoe and forms a kind of cover tongue, which has a number of laced holes on both side edges. Each of these lace holes is spaced by a series of further lace holes which are provided in tabs fastened to the shaft. Depending on the lacing on both sides, the position of the label and the strength of the lacing can be changed. The shield and the associated laces can also be provided as the sole closure means.
Das Schließen des Schuhes und das Lösen des Verschlusses mittels der beiden Schnürungen ist relativ kompliziert und erfordert einen erheblichen Zeitaufwand.Closing the shoe and loosening the closure by means of the two laces is relatively complicated and requires a considerable amount of time.
Mit der vorliegenden Erfindung soll daher die Aufgabe gelöst werden, eine Schnürung der bekannten Art so auszubilden, dass sowohl ein Schnellverschluß als auch ein schnelles Lösen des Verschlusses erreicht werden kann. Gelöst wird diese Aufgabe durch die Merkmale des Anspruchs 1.The object of the present invention is therefore to achieve a lacing of the known type such that both a quick-release fastener and a quick release of the fastener can be achieved. This object is achieved by the features of claim 1.
Durch die Anwendung einer im wesentlichen formstabilen Zuglasche mit einer einzigen Zugstelle und Zugverbindung kann die Zuglasche mit einem kurzen Zug und einer gegebenenfalls anschließenden Schlaufenbildung schnell in die Schließstellung gebracht und ebenso schnell durch Öffnen der Schlaufe wieder gelöst werden. Dies ist besonders vorteilhaft bei Schuhen, die beispielsweise bei Triathlon-Wettbewerben verwendet werden, da hier die Rüstzeiten, d.h. die benötigten Zeiten für das An- und Ausziehen derartiger Schuhe, das Wettbewerbsergebnis stark beeinflussen.By using an essentially dimensionally stable pull tab with a single pull point and train connection, the pull tab can be quickly brought into the closed position with a short pull and any subsequent loop formation, and can be released again just as quickly by opening the loop. This is particularly advantageous in the case of shoes which are used, for example, in triathlon competitions, since the set-up times, i.e. the times required for putting on and taking off such shoes can have a major impact on the competitive result.

Die Zuglasche 8 besteht aus einem zugfesten, biegeelastischen Material mit geringem Reibungskoeffizienten. Als geeignet haben sich Kunststoffe aus oder auf der Basis von Polyamid, Polyethylen oder Polyurethan erwiesen. Es sind jedoch auch andere Kunststoffe oder Materialien geeignet, beispielsweise Metalle, wie nichtrostender Stahl, Federbronce oder dgl.. Vorzugsweise besitzt die Zuglasche 8 eine Dicke von etwa 0,2 bis 3 mm, insbesondere von etwa 0,3 bis 2 mm. Sie kann aus einer einzigen Platte bestehen. Mit Vorteil besitzt sie jedoch drei oder mehr sich fächerartig von der Zugstelle 8.1 zur Schnürseite 3 hin erstreckende Finger 8.2, 8.3, 8.4, an deren freien Enden sich jeweils ein Schnürloch 5.1, 5.2 bzw. 5.3 der zweiten Reihe 5 von Schnürlöchern befindet.The pull tab 8 consists of a tensile, flexible material with a low coefficient of friction. Plastics made from or based on polyamide, polyethylene or polyurethane have proven to be suitable. However, other plastics or materials are also suitable, for example metals such as stainless steel, spring bronze or the like. The pull tab 8 preferably has a thickness of approximately 0.2 to 3 mm, in particular approximately 0.3 to 2 mm. It can consist of a single plate. However, it advantageously has three or more fingers 8.2, 8.3, 8.4 which extend from the pull point 8.1 to the lacing side 3 in a fan-like manner, at the free ends of which there is a lacing hole 5.1, 5.2 or 5.3 of the second row 5 of lacing holes.
Durch die beiden Reihen 4 und 5 von Schnürlöchern ist ein Schnürsenkel 13 zickzackförmig von einer Reihe zur anderen hindurchgezogen. Dessen vorderes Ende 13.1 ist zunächst durch ein auf der Verschlußseite 12 vorhandenes vorderstes Schnürloch 19.1 einer Lasche 19 hindurchgezogen und dann auf der Schnürseite 3 im Bereich des Vorderschuhes 1.4, vorzugsweise im Bereich der Sohle 6, insbesondere oberhalb derselben, befestigt. Die Befestigung kann aber auch bereits nach dem Durchschleifen durch das Schnürloch 5.1 erfolgen, wenn die Lasche 19 und dessen Schnürloch 19.1 nicht als notwendig erachtet werden. Auch kann die Befestigung des vorderen Endes 13.1 des Schnürsenkels 13 nach dem Durchsσhleifen durch das Schnürloch 4.1 auf der Verschlussseite 12 erfolgen.Through the two rows 4 and 5 of lace holes, a shoelace 13 is pulled zigzag from one row to the other. Whose front end 13.1 is first pulled through a front lacing hole 19.1 of a tab 19 provided on the closure side 12 and then fastened on the lacing side 3 in the area of the front shoe 1.4, preferably in the area of the sole 6, in particular above it. However, the attachment can also take place after the looping through the laced hole 5.1 if the tab 19 and its laced hole 19.1 are not considered necessary. The front end 13.1 of the shoelace 13 can also be fastened after being looped through the laced hole 4.1 on the closure side 12.
Der hintere freie Teil 13.2 des Schnürsenkels 13 ist durch ein Schnürloch 14.1 einer von der Ferse 1.3 zum oberen Ristbereich 9.1 auf Zug belastbaren Zuglasche 14 hindurchgeschleift. Er ist vorzugsweise in der Verschlußstellung arretierbar, kann aber auch in anderen Stellungen arretierbar sein.The rear free part 13.2 of the shoelace 13 is looped through a lacing hole 14.1 of a pull tab 14 which can withstand tensile loads from the heel 1.3 to the upper instep region 9.1. It can preferably be locked in the closed position, but can also be locked in other positions.
Die Arretierung kann am Schuh 1 auf der Schnürseite 3 oder auf der Verschlussseite 12 fest oder vorzugsweise veränderbar vorgenommen werden. Die Arretierung kann bei freier Wahl der Länge des spannenden Teils des Schürsenkels 13 entsprechend der notwendigen SchnürSpannung, beispielsweise durch Befestigung mittels einer Druckknopfreihe, eines Klettverschlusses, eines Hebelverschlusses oder durch Binden mit dem freien Ende 10.2 der Zugverbindung 10 erfolgen. Beim Ausführungsbeispiel gemäß den Fig. 1 bis 4 erfolgt die Befestigung und Längenfestlegung durch Schnüren mit der Zugverbindung 10.The lock can be made on the shoe 1 on the lacing side 3 or on the closure side 12 in a fixed or preferably changeable manner. The locking can take place with free choice of the length of the exciting part of the shoelace 13 according to the necessary lacing tension, for example by fastening by means of a row of press studs, a Velcro fastener, a lever fastener or by tying with the free end 10.2 of the train connection 10. In the exemplary embodiment according to FIGS. 1 to 4, the attachment and length determination are carried out by lacing with the train connection 10.
Das freie Ende 10.2 der als Zugband oder Zugkordel ausgebildeten Zugverbindung 10 kann mit dem hinteren freien Teil 13.2 des Schnürsenkels 13, beispielsweise durch Binden einer Schleife, miteinander verbunden werden.The free end 10.2 of the train connection 10 designed as a drawstring or drawstring can be connected to one another with the rear free part 13.2 of the shoelace 13, for example by tying a loop.
Die Wirkungsweise der erfindungsgemäßen Schnürung ist folgende: Beim Ziehen am hinteren freien Teil 13.2 des Schnürsenkels 13 werden die beiden Reihen 4 und 5 von Schnürlöchern in bekannter Weise gegeneinander gezogen. Mit dieser Maßnahme wird im wesentlichen der Schuh 1 an die Form des Fußes angepasst. Wird nun der freie hintere Teil 13.2 des Schnürsenkels 13 mit dem freien Ende 10.2 der Zugverbindung 10 festgezurrt und zu einer Schleife gebunden, dann wird einerseits die Schnürung 2 leicht nachgespannt, im wesentlichen jedoch die Zuglasche 8 in Richtung der Ferse 1.3 gezogen und dadurch ein schnelles Verschließen des Schuhes 1 erreicht. Umgekehrt wird beim Öffnen der Schleife die Zuglasche 8 sofort entlastet, so dass eine sehr schnelle Öffnung des Schuhes 1 eintritt, ohne dass sich die Schnürung 2 stark lösen muß. Aus der Wirkungsweise der Schnüranordnung, sowie aus der Ausbildung der Zuglasche 8 mit der Zugverbindung 10 ergibt sich auch, dass im Ausführungsbeispiel die Außenseite 1.2 des Schuhes als Verschlußseite 12 bezeichnet ist, weil der eigentliche Schließvorgang und Öffnungsvorgang hier stattfindet.The operation of the lacing according to the invention is as follows: When pulling on the rear free part 13.2 of the shoelace 13, the two rows 4 and 5 of laced holes are pulled against one another in a known manner. With this measure, the shoe 1 is essentially adapted to the shape of the foot. If the free rear part 13.2 of the shoelace 13 is lashed tight with the free end 10.2 of the train connection 10 and tied into a loop, then the lacing 2 is slightly tightened on the one hand, but essentially the pull tab 8 is pulled in the direction of the heel 1.3 and thereby a quick one Closing the shoe 1 reached. Conversely, when the loop is opened, the pull tab 8 is immediately relieved, so that the shoe 1 opens very quickly without the lacing 2 having to be loosened strongly. From the mode of operation of the lacing arrangement, as well as from the design of the pull tab 8 with the train connection 10, it also follows that, in the exemplary embodiment, the outside 1.2 of the shoe is designated as the closure side 12 because the actual closing and opening process takes place here.
Die Schnürung 2 muß nicht unbedingt an der Seite bzw. Schnürseite des Schuhes 1 erfolgen. Sie kann auch nach oben bis zum Rist 9 und eventuell sogar über diesen hinaus bis zur Verschlußseite 12 angeordnet sein. Dies ist abhängig von der zum Schließen benötigten Länge 10.1 der Zugverbindung 10.The lacing 2 does not necessarily have to be on the side or lacing side of the shoe 1. It can also be arranged up to the instep 9 and possibly even beyond it up to the closure side 12. This depends on the length 10.1 of the train connection 10 required for closing.
Vorzugsweise besteht der Schnürsenkel 13 aus einem Material mit geringem Reibungskoeffizienten. Geeignet sind beispielsweise Kunststoffe aus oder auf der Basis von Polyamid, Polyimid, Polyacryl oder Polyester. Auch die Zugverbindung 10 kann aus einem dieser Materialien bestehen. Vorteilhaft besteht jedoch die Zugverbindung 10 mit dem freien Teil 10.2 und der hintere Teil 13.2 des Schnürsenkels 13 aus einem Material mit einem höheren Reibungskoeffizienten oder sie sind so hergestellt, dass sie einen höheren Reibungskoeffizienten aufweisen. Hierdurch kann eine bessere Schließkraft der zu bindenden Schleife erzeugt werden. Diese Teile können auch aus Baumwolle bestehen. Der hintere Teil 13.2 des Schnürsenkels 13 mit höherem Reibungskoeffizienten ist am übrigen Teil befestigt, beispielsweise durch Annähen und/oder Verkleben der beiden Schnürsenkelteile 13, 13.2 aneinander bzw. miteinander. Der Schnürsenkel 13 und die Zugverbindung 10 bestehen vorzugsweise aus einem Gewebe oder Gewirke. Der Schnürsenkel 13 ist bevorzugt als Band ausgebildet. Als vorteilhaft hat sich ein Gewebeband erwiesen, welches stärkere Querrippen besitzt, also nach Art eines Ripsstoffes hergestellt ist.The shoelace 13 is preferably made of a material with a low coefficient of friction. For example, plastics made of or based on polyamide, polyimide, polyacrylic or polyester are suitable. The train connection 10 can also consist of one of these materials. However, the train connection 10 with the free part 10.2 and the rear part 13.2 of the shoelace 13 advantageously consists of a material with a higher coefficient of friction or they are manufactured in such a way that they have a higher coefficient of friction. In this way, a better closing force of the loop to be tied can be generated. These parts can also be made of cotton. The rear part 13.2 of the shoelace 13 with a higher coefficient of friction is fastened to the remaining part, for example by sewing and / or gluing the two shoelace parts 13, 13.2 to one another or to one another. The shoelace 13 and the train connection 10 preferably consist of a woven or knitted fabric. The shoelace 13 is preferably designed as a band. A fabric tape which has stronger transverse ribs, that is to say is produced in the manner of a grosgrain fabric, has proven to be advantageous.
Gemäß einer vorteilhaften Weiterbildung der Erfindung kann eine weitere Verbesserung der Schnürung über den Rist 9, beispielsweise im mittleren Ristbereich 9.2 bzw. im Bereich des Mittelfußes, durch ein besonderes Spannelement 15 erreicht werden, wie dies anhand der Fig. 3 bis 5 dargestellt ist. Das Spannelement 15 ist auf der Verschlußseite 12, beispielsweise im Sohlenbereich oder Schaftbereich, befestigt. Das Spannelement 15 verläuft über den Rist 9, vorzugsweise über einen mittleren Ristbereich 9.2 und/oder gegebenenfalls über einen vorderen Ristbereich 9.3 bzw. im Bereich des Vorderfußes zwischen Mittelfuß und den Zehengrundgelenken. Das zur Schnürseite 3 verlaufende Teil des Spannelements 15 ist mit dem Endteil 15.1 durch eine bzw. durch die insbesondere rechteckige, am Schuh 1 fest angebrachte Schnüröse 4.2 geschleift und an einer beweglichen Schnüröse 4.4 fest befestigt. Durch die Schnüröffnung 4.4.1 der beweglichen Schnüröse 4.4 ist der Schnürsenkel 13 hindurchgeschleift.According to an advantageous development of the invention, a further improvement of the lacing over the instep 9, for example in the central instep region 9.2 or in the region of the midfoot, can be achieved by means of a special tensioning element 15, as is shown with reference to FIGS. 3 to 5. The tensioning element 15 is fastened on the closure side 12, for example in the sole area or shaft area. The tensioning element 15 runs over the instep 9, preferably over a central instep region 9.2 and / or optionally over a front instep region 9.3 or in the region of the forefoot between the metatarsus and the basic toe joints. The part of the tensioning element 15 running to the lacing side 3 is looped with the end part 15.1 through or through the particularly rectangular lacing eyelet 4.2 fixedly attached to the shoe 1 and fixed to a movable lacing eyelet 4.4 attached. The shoelace 13 is looped through the lace opening 4.4.1 of the movable lace eyelet 4.4.
Die Wirkungsweise dieser Anordnung ist folgende:This arrangement works as follows:
Beim Zug am Schnürsenkel 13 wird die bewegliche Schnüröse 4.4 in Richtung des Ristes 9 gezogen. Dadurch wird der an der Schnüröse 4.4 befestigte Endteil 15.1 des Spannelements 15 ebenfalls in Richtung zum Rist 9 gezogen und dadurch der Abstand 16 zwischen den Schnürösen 4.2 und 4.4 vergrößert. Somit wird die Zuglänge 17 des Spannelements 15 zwischen seiner Befestigungstelle am Schuh 1 und seiner Umschling ng 18 der Schnüröse 4.2 verkleinert und damit eine gesonderte Verspannung über den Rist 9 erreicht.When pulling on the shoelace 13, the movable eyelet 4.4 is pulled in the direction of the instep 9. As a result, the end part 15.1 of the tensioning element 15 fastened to the lacing eyelet 4.4 is also pulled in the direction of the instep 9, thereby increasing the distance 16 between the lacing eyelets 4.2 and 4.4. Thus, the length of the tension 17 of the tensioning element 15 between its fastening point on the shoe 1 and its wrap 18 of the lace eyelet 4.2 is reduced, and thus a separate tensioning over the instep 9 is achieved.
Das Spannelement 15 besteht aus einem möglichst zugfesten Material, wie beispielsweise Leder, Textilmaterial oder Kunststoff. Es kann am Schaftmaterial angebracht, beispielsweise aufgenäht und/oder aufgeklebt sein.The tensioning element 15 consists of a material that is as tensile as possible, such as leather, textile material or plastic. It can be attached to the shaft material, for example sewn on and / or glued on.
Anstelle der Verwendung eines Schnürsenkels kann zum Schließen des Schuhes auch ein seilartiges Spannelement verwendet werden, das mittels eines Zentraldrehverschlusses betätigt werden kann, wie dies beispielsweise aus der EP 0 559 648 Bl bekannt ist.Instead of using a shoelace, a rope-like tensioning element can also be used to close the shoe, which can be actuated by means of a central twist lock, as is known, for example, from EP 0 559 648 B1.
Bei dem in Fig. 6 dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel ist ein Verschluß dargestellt, bei dem die Schließspannung nicht so stark zur Ferse hin wirkt, wie beim Ausführungsbeispiel gemäß den Fig. 1 bis 4. Hier ist die Zugverbindung 10 im mittleren Schuhbereich 20 für den Mittelfuß unmittelbar oder mittelbar, beispielsweise über eine Lasche oder Schlaufe, am Schuh 1 befestigt. Die Befestigung erfolgt an oder oberhalb der Sohle 6. Die Zuglasche 8 besitzt anstelle der Zugstelle 8.1 ein Schnürloch 8.1.1. Das freie Ende 10.2 der Zugverbindung 10 ist zunächst durch das Schnürloch 8.1.1 der Zuglasche 8 und anschließend durch das Schnürloch 11.1 der hinteren Zuglasche 11 (siehe Figur 2) hindurchgeschleift. Je nachdem, ob die Befestigung der Zugverbindung 10 weiter vorn oder weiter hinten im mittleren Schuhbereich 20 vorgesehen wird, kann die Zugspannung mehr oder weniger in Richtung quer zum Rist oder mehr in Richtung der Ferse 1.3 ausgerichtet werden. Der Effekt der Schnellöffnung und des Schnellverschlusses bleibt vollständig erhalten.In the embodiment shown in FIG. 6, a closure is shown in which the closing tension does not act as strongly towards the heel as in the embodiment according to FIGS. 1 to 4. Here, the train connection 10 in the middle shoe area 20 for the metatarsus is direct or indirectly, for example via a strap or loop, on the shoe 1 attached. The attachment takes place on or above the sole 6. The pull tab 8 has a tie hole 8.1.1 instead of the pull point 8.1. The free end 10.2 of the train connection 10 is first looped through the laced hole 8.1.1 of the pull tab 8 and then through the laced hole 11.1 of the rear pull tab 11 (see FIG. 2). Depending on whether the attachment of the train connection 10 is provided further forward or further back in the middle shoe region 20, the tension can be oriented more or less in the direction transverse to the instep or more in the direction of the heel 1.3. The effect of quick opening and quick locking remains completely intact.
Das freie Ende 13.2 des Schnürsenkels 13 kann, wie in Fig. 6 dargestellt, vom hintersten Schnürloch 14.1 aus über den oberen Bereich 9.1 des Ristes 9 zur Verschlußseite 12 gezogen und dort vorzugsweise in etwa gleicher Höhe oder auch tiefer befestigt oder befestigbar sein, beispielsweise an der Befestigungsstelle 21. Auf der Oberseite des den Rist 9 überquerenden freien Ende 13.2 kann ein Klettverschlussteil 22 angebracht sein. Entsprechend ist auf der Unterseite des freien Endes 10.2 der Zugverbindung 10 ein Klettverschlussteil 23 angebracht, welches das Gegenstück zu dem Klettverschlußteil 22 bildet. Durch eine feste oder eine einstellbare Befestigung des freien Endes 13.2 und durch Ziehen am freien Ende 10.2 der Zugverbindung 10, Überführung über den Rist 9 auf das freie Ende 13.2 und Aufeinanderdrücken der Klettverschlussteile 22 und 23 werden die Enden 13.2 und 10.2 der Zugverbindung 10 schnell, fest und leicht lösbar miteinander verbunden. Anstelle des Klettverschlusses 22, 23 können auch andere Schnellverschlussarten eingesetzt werden. Beispielsweise können ein- oder beidseitige Druckknopfreihen, ein verstellbarer Hebelverschluß oder an sich bekannte Schnellspannverschlüsse vorgesehen sein.The free end 13.2 of the laces 13 can, as shown in FIG. 6, be pulled from the rearmost lacing hole 14.1 over the upper region 9.1 of the instep 9 to the closure side 12 and preferably attached or fastened there, for example, at approximately the same height or also lower the fastening point 21. A Velcro fastener 22 can be attached to the top of the free end 13.2 crossing the instep 9. Correspondingly, a Velcro fastener part 23 is attached to the underside of the free end 10.2 of the train connection 10, which forms the counterpart to the Velcro fastener part 22. By a fixed or an adjustable fastening of the free end 13.2 and by pulling the free end 10.2 of the train connection 10, transferring over the instep 9 to the free end 13.2 and pressing the Velcro fastener parts 22 and 23, the ends 13.2 and 10.2 of the train connection 10 are quickly, firmly and easily detachably connected. Instead of the Velcro fastener 22, 23, other types of quick fastener can also be used. For example, rows of pushbuttons on one or both sides, an adjustable lever lock or quick-release fasteners known per se can be provided.
Auch die Verwendung eines seilartigen Spannelements 24 in Verbindung mit einem Zentraldrehverschluß 25 gemäß der EP 0 559 648 Bl kommt bei dieser Ausführungsvariante in Betracht, wie dies in Fig. 7 dargestellt ist. The use of a rope-like tensioning element 24 in connection with a central rotary lock 25 according to EP 0 559 648 B1 also comes into consideration in this embodiment variant, as is shown in FIG. 7.
