Definitions
- the invention relates to a shock-absorbing spacer arrangement, suitable for arrangement between spaced apart, relatively flexible and / or movable surfaces, for example for arrangement between an inner and an outer sole of a shoe.
- a midsole provided between an inner and an outer sole of a shoe can consist essentially of two spaced apart, relatively stiff fabric layers, between which fabric webs formed as X-shaped profiles, which are interwoven with the aforementioned fabric layers, are arranged as spacer elements.
- the fabrics can be made of polypropylene, polyvinyl or polyester, for example.
- shock-absorbing shoe sole which consists essentially of an undersole with a wavy upper surface and an upper sole with a wavy underside, the concave zones of the corrugated structure of the lower sole absorbing the convex zones of the corrugated structure of the upper sole.
- Different wave forms or corresponding spacing elements ensure that the elle ⁇ structures load one another primarily on the wave flanks and are apart from one another, at least in the unloaded state. This is to ensure that the shaft structures made of elastomer material are subjected to pronounced shear stress when the sole is loaded in the region of the shaft flanks and that there is good compliance.
- the object of the invention is now to provide a shock-absorbing spacer arrangement, the damping and suspension properties of which can be specified within an extremely wide range, and furthermore a low weight and good air circulation should be possible.
- This object is achieved according to the invention by a flexible supporting structure part with open arches arranged next to and / or one behind the other in a grid-like manner over a base area and arranged in a corresponding grid, the openings penetrating the base area at least below the arches.
- the invention is based on the general idea of arranging deformable supporting arches in a grid-like connection with one another.
- a load on the middle of the bow leads to a corresponding deformation of the arch, the side parts of the arch being pushed sideways and forming shortened pillar-like supports with a relatively high load capacity in comparison to the height of the unloaded arch.
- a markedly progressively increasing resistance is made possible in relation to a loaded surface resting on the arches, ie, despite the initially high flexibility, a high load-bearing capacity is possible without excessive deformation.
- the spacer arrangement according to the invention can be used between the outer and inner sole of a shoe.
- the spacer arrangement can also be used for protectors, e.g. B. knee or elbow pads, or to use stiffenable or flexible hollow body.
- the arches are arranged side by side in rows of arcs transverse to the arc axis.
- each foot zone between adjacent arches of a row of arches with one foot zone between adjacent arches of the adjacent row of arches or rows of arches via narrow, flexible webs. This gives the foot zones of each row of arches a comparatively great flexibility in the longitudinal direction of the row of arches.
- a plate part which has a lattice structure with windows arranged in a grid pattern corresponding to the arches of the supporting structure part, concavities or convexities being formed on the lattice webs, in or on which the foot zones of the arches of the supporting structure part and / or whose webs are held in place by positive locking.
- the plate part can be made of flexible, but essentially inextensible material, while the supporting structure part is formed from an elastomer or the like. With such a composite construction, very different ensure load capacities.
- one of the rows of sheets stacked one on top of the other in the direction of the sheet axes has comparatively wide sheets with windows arranged in the sheet cut sections, the sheet center sections of the opposite sheet row, the sheets of which in the direction of the sheet axes have a window width have the appropriate width, record.
- the rows of arches of the two supporting structure parts engage in one another in a form-fitting manner, so that between the surfaces spaced apart by the spacer arrangement, surface-parallel forces can also be transmitted with corresponding deformation of the arches if the spaced surfaces are fixed with the base surfaces of the supporting structure parts or are non-slip connected.
- the arches of a supporting structure part of a spacer arrangement can also be designed as cross arches, that is to say as a composite of two crossing arches.
- a further spacer arrangement for which separate protection is claimed, is characterized in that a structural part designed in the manner of a link belt is provided.
- Each link of this link band can have an essentially circular profile piping and a parallel C-profile with a C opening facing away from the piping, the C-profile of one link positively receiving or capable of receiving the piping of the neighboring link.
- Such an arrangement is extremely flexible in bending movements with respect to the keder axes, as long as the connections of a link between the keder and the C-profile do not interact with the edges of the C-opening of the next link as far as it will go.
- the link band has a different shape, if his limbs are pushed in one direction or another by external forces into the respective stop position. Since the links are made of resilient material, the link belt can be urged resiliently beyond the stop position even when its links have reached a stop position.
- FIG. 1 shows a perspective view of the heel-side half of a shoe sole arrangement with a spacer arrangement according to the invention between a foot shell or insole and an outsole or an outsole support, [031] FIG.

- FIG. 17 shows a further embodiment for a supporting structure part of a spacer arrangement
- FIG. 21 shows a structural or skeleton part of a spacer arrangement
- FIG. 23 shows a side view of a spacer device designed as a link belt
- FIG. 24 is a top view of the spacer device of FIG. 23,
- FIG. 26 is a perspective sectional view of this damping mat.
- a sports shoe (not shown in detail) has, at least within a shoe area near the heel, a foot shell-like insole 1 and an outsole 2 which is vertically spaced apart in a zone near the heel, the underside of which is designed as a tread or is covered with a tread layer.
- a spacer arrangement Arranged between the insole 1 and the outsole 2 is a spacer arrangement, which is explained in more detail below and which is suitable for absorbing greater pressure forces in a shock-absorbing manner.
- This spacer arrangement which is explained further below, is enclosed by an optionally transparent cover film 3, which is attached to the edges of the insole 1 and the outsole 2 and determines the maximum distance between the insole 1 and the outsole 2.
- the cover film 3 is flexible in relation to the draining forces between the soles 1 and 2.
- the inner sole 1 and the outer sole 2 can each be designed to be flexible, but with greater rigidity, so that punctual loads are always transferred to larger areas of the respective sole.
- a web 4 is formed, which encloses a rectangular surface covering the entire heel area on the underside of the insole 1.
- a similar web 5 is arranged on the upper side of the outsole, the height of which, however, is significantly less than the height of the web 4.
- the web 5 has a rectangular U-shape in a plan view of the upper side of the outsole 2, the mutually parallel U-legs extending into the middle region of the shoe being connected to one another at the distal end of the outsole 2 by a transverse section of the web 5 , [061]
- This supporting structure part 6 which is formed from rigid, flexible material, has a base surface 7 glued to the outsole 2, on which open arches 8 to 10 are arranged in a grid-like manner, under which the base surface 7 is penetrated by rectangular windows 11, which means the aforementioned windows 11 are arched by the arches 8 to 10.
- the arches 8 to 10 are arranged in three parallel rows of arches, each consisting of arches arranged next to one another transversely to the arc axis.
- each row of sheets comprises three sheets 8 with a medium span, one sheet 9 with a large span and a small sheet 10 with a small span. All the arches 8 to 10 have the same width in the direction of the arch axis, but the arches 8 are each provided with rectangular windows 12 in the central region of the arch.
- the base surface 7 forms bands which run parallel to the rows of arches and which are in perfect alignment with one another at the foot regions of arches 8 to 10, that is to say at the “abutments” of arches 8 to 10 are connected.
- the supporting structure part 6 is arranged on the upper side of the outsole 2 such that the arches 8 are arranged on the heel side of the arches 9 and the arches 10 on the toe side of the arches 9.
- a further supporting structure part 13 is arranged on the surface surrounded by the web 4 on the underside of the insole 1, which is shown in more detail in FIGS. 6 to 8.
- This supporting structure part 13 has a base surface 14 surrounded by the web 4 and glued to the underside of the insole 1, on which similar open arches 15 are arranged next to one another in three parallel rows of arches, the arches 15 in turn arching rectangular windows 16 penetrating the base surface 14.
- the base surface 14 thus forms strip-like bands which run continuously between the rows of arches and laterally next to the two outer rows of arches and which are integrally connected to one another in the transverse direction at the arch feet or abutments.
- the further supporting structure part 13 is also formed from a tough, rigid and flexible plastic.
- the arches 15 In the axial direction, the arches 15 have a width which corresponds to the width of the windows 12 in the arches 8 of the first supporting structure part 6 on the outsole 2.
- the inner sole 1 and the outer sole 2 and the supporting structure parts 6 and 13 are arranged relative to one another in such a way that the arches 15 of the supporting structure part 13 on the Insole 1 is received with its central sections by the windows 12 of the arches 8 of the structural structure part 6 on the outsole 2, as can be seen from FIG. 2.
- the arches 15 of the supporting structure part 13 engaging in the windows 12 of the arches 8 of the supporting structure part 6 on the outer sole 2 deform the insole 1 in the shape of an ogive, the limbs of the arches 8 being pushed somewhat to the side at the edges of the windows 12 parallel to the arc axis.
- the arches 15 can move slightly in the windows 12 under friction.
- the supporting structure part 17 shown in FIGS. 9 and 10 has a multiplicity of parallel rows of arches with similar open arches 18, with adjacent rows of arches being offset from one another in the longitudinal direction of the rows by half an arc span. Deviating from the previously described supporting structure parts 6 and 13, the supporting structure part 17 has a strongly segmented base surface, which essentially consists only of small fields 19, which are each arranged between successive arcs of a row of arches, and flexible webs 20 arranged like a fish garden between these fields 19.
- the supporting structure part 17 is comparatively easily stretchable in both the longitudinal and transverse directions.
- the span of the arches increases with flattening of the arch shape.
- the herringbone webs 20 deform, with adjacent rows of arches trying to shift relative to one another in the longitudinal direction of the rows of arches ,
- the supporting structure part 17 of FIGS. 9 and 10 can easily be extended in the longitudinal and transverse directions stretchable surfaces, for example, be arranged on the underside of stretchable insoles, the undersides of the fields 19 and the webs 20 can be glued to the facing side of the insole and the arches 18 on the underside of the insole form a flexible supporting structure.
- the support structure part 17 of FIGS. 9 and 10 can be arranged on a plate part 21, as shown in FIGS. 11 to 13.
- This plate part 21 has windows 22 arranged in a grid pattern corresponding to the arches of the supporting structure part 17.
- the transverse webs 23 between the windows 22 arranged in rows have only a small vertical height compared to the thickness of the plate part 21.
- deep, upwardly open channels 24 are formed between the crossbars of adjacent rows of windows in accordance with the pattern of the webs 20 of the structural part 17.
- the supporting structure part 17 of FIGS. 9 and 10 can be inserted with its underside in a form-fitting manner into the recessed areas of the upper side of the plate part 21 visible in FIGS. 11 and 12, the webs 20 of the supporting structure part 17 being received by the channels 24 and the The undersides of the fields 19 of the supporting structure part 17 rest on the vertically thin transverse webs 23 or the correspondingly vertically thin zones 25 on the transverse ends of the window rows of the plate part 21.
- the plate part 21 is made of a flexible, but tough and essentially inextensible material, stiffening of the supporting structure part 17 connected to the plate part 21 in the longitudinal and transverse directions is achieved.
- the plate part 21 forms a resilient platform, which can be supported resiliently against an opposite surface via the grid of the arches 18 of the supporting structure part 17 arranged on the plate part 21.
- a plate part 26 which in principle corresponds to the plate part 21 described above, can also be designed by appropriate dimensioning of the windows 27, the transverse webs 28, the channels 29 and the zones 30 in such a way that according to FIG. 14 can rest on the supporting structure part 17 from above, such that the arches 18 of the supporting structure part 17 protrude through the windows 27 of the plate part 26.
- the supporting structure part 17 is stiffened by the plate part 26 in the longitudinal and transverse directions.
- a minimum thickness is specified by the plate part 26, to which the combination of the supporting structure part 17 and the plate part 26 can be compressed under vertical pressure loading.
- 17 and 18 show a further embodiment of a spacer arrangement which is suitable, for example, as a cushion for an insole of a shoe.
- a base plate 31 having the shape of a shoe sole
- diamond-like windows are arranged in a grid-like manner, these windows being arched over by cross arches 32.
- Each arch of a cross arch 32 connects two diametrically opposite corners of a diamond-shaped window.
- the arch parts of a cross arch 32 can have cross sections of different thicknesses, so that a “strong” arch is combined with a comparatively “weak” arch. This creates a direction-dependent stability of the cross arches 32.
- diamond-shaped windows which may also have the shape of a square or a narrow, elongated rhombus
- windows with a different shape for example a rectangular or parallelogram shape
- the arches of a cross arch penetrate each other at an angle other than 90 °.
- the edge of the base plate may be connected to a flat frame 33 comprising the base plate, which continues the plane of the base plate.
- the frame 33 on the one hand and the base plate 31 with the cross arches 32 are expediently made of different materials. As a rule, it is expedient that the frame 33 consists of a harder and in particular practically inextensible material, while the base plate 31 and the cross arches are relatively flexible.
- a layer of air-permeable material for example leather, fabric and / or fleece, can be arranged on the side of the base plate 31 facing away from the cross arches 32. If the arrangement shown in FIGS. 17 and 18 is used as the insole of a shoe, this layer forms the side facing the foot.
- a base plate 34 which is adapted to the shape of a shoe sole in plan view is formed in the manner of a grid, with grid bars 35 extending essentially in the longitudinal direction of the base plate 34 being formed, for example, in a flat-band-like form, in particular in one
- the central section of the base plate 34 can be connected to a net-like structure by cross bars connected in one piece with them.
- the lattice bars 35 form more or less pronounced arches such that the concave side of the arches faces the viewer in the plan view of FIG. 19.
- the base plate 34 can be combined with a similar base plate 34 'in which the arches formed by the bars are arched in opposite directions.
- a grating sole is created, the grating bars 35 of which are spaced both in the ball area and in the heel area of the foot.
- spring cushions formed by arc-shaped, flexible lattice bars are created. In the case of a sole, this can be achieved by giving resilient support to the heel and / or ball region.
- a flat frame 36 can also be arranged, in particular glued, on the edge of the base plate 34 and / or the base plate 34 '.
- This can consist, for example, of a comparatively soft foam-like material, by means of which the respective base plate 34 or 34 'is softly supported at its edge in the shoe.
- the frame 36 can also be made of a relatively hard material if firm support of the edge of the base plate 34 or 34 'is desired.
- the frame 36 can still be covered with cushions or the like on its upper and / or lower side.
- a structural part 37 with flat strip-like, parallel strips 38 is provided, which are integrally connected to one another by a flat strip 39 running transversely to the strips 38.
- the strips 38 and the flat strip 39 can be made of a fiber-reinforced plastic with a relatively high degree of rigidity and tensile strength, roughly comparable to a spring plate.
- the strips 38 can have a relatively large distance within a first section of the flat band 39 and a comparatively very narrow distance within a second section of the flat band 39.
- the structural part 37 is arranged on a layer 40 of soft material or embedded in the layer 40, the structural part 37 forming a flexible “skeleton” for the layer 40.
- a different stiffening and flexibility of the layer 40 is made possible.
- the layer 40 can also consist of leather, a fleece and / or a fabric layer or another air-permeable material, this material being arranged on the foot side, if the arrangement of FIGS. 21 and 22 as shown, as an insole of a shoe to be used.
- Such an insole can optionally be arranged on the foot-facing side of a spacer arrangement according to FIGS. 19 and 20, so that the bars 35 rest against the bars 38 on the foot side and the supporting forces of the spring pads formed by the bent bars 35 are greater than the strips 38 are transferred over a large area to the foot.
- a spacer arrangement is shown, which is designed in the manner of a link belt 41.
- Each güed has a piping 42 and a parallel C-profile 43, which is open on the side facing away from the piping 42 and has such a shape that it can positively accommodate the piping 42 of a neighboring member.
- the web-like connection 44 for example, between the piping 42 and the C-profile 43 can be arranged offset to a plane containing the longitudinal central axes of the piping and the C-profile, such that the link belt can, if necessary, bulge in one direction or the other to different degrees opposes different resistances to a curvature in one direction or the other.
- successive links of the link belt 41 can optionally consist of different hard or flexible materials, so that an additional possibility of varying the flexibility is offered.
- the Güeder bands 41 can be arranged within a shoe sole, on the one hand to enable the sole to be comparatively highly flexible within a predetermined range of curvature and on the other hand to achieve a significant stiffening of the sole as soon as the curvature reaches a dimension and a direction, in which the Güeder 41 cooperate with each other to the stop.
- a damping mat 45 is shown. This consists of a soft, elastic, relatively tear-resistant material. On a base layer 46 of constant thickness, annular or crater-like elevations 47 are arranged, with a ring-shaped, outwardly sloping wall being one in the case shown encloses hemispherical concavity, at the deepest area of which a bore 48 penetrating the base layer 46 can be provided.
- This damping mat 45 can be used in a variety of ways.
- the base plate 31 of FIG. 17 with the cross arches 32 can be supported on the elevations 47 of the damping mat 45. It can be expediently provided that the cross arches 32 have a relatively large radius of curvature in the unloaded state, such that the cross arches 32 essentially rest or rest only on the annular crest of the annular elevations 47.
- annular comb can be penetrated by radial shooters 49 which are open at the top. If these contactors 49 are arranged in accordance with the crossing angles of the arch parts of the cross arches 32 in FIG. 18, a receiving bed corresponding to the cross arches 32 is created.
- the deformability of the damping mat 45 and in particular the deformability of the elevations 47 and the deformability of the cross arches 32 interact when forces occur between the damping mat 45 and the base plate 31 carrying the cross arches 32, which are the base plate 31 and the damping mat 45 approach each other or try to move them parallel to each other.
- the cushioning mat can be used as a fire, inner or outsole of a shoe.
- the damping mat 45 is also suitable for padding gloves, for example golf or goalkeeper gloves, the padding also being able to increase the strength of the hand's grip.
