Abstract

The shoe (1') has a traction element arrangement stretched between an upper pivot or deflection point (15'r) and a lower pivot or deflection point (13'r) for transmitting traction force between a shaft region and a sole (5'). The traction element arrangement is guided by a pivoting element (19'r) such that the inwardly acting pressure force is laterally provided on the shoe shaft in region of the pivoting element and/or between the pivoting element and the lower pivot or deflection point by a traction element section using the traction force.

Description

• einen eine Sohle umfassenden Schuhboden;
• einen sich an den Schuhboden anschließenden Schuhschaft, umfassend einen zusammen mit dem Schuhboden einen Fuß eines Schuhträgers umschließenden unteren Schaftbereich und einen sich an den unteren Schaftbereich anschließenden, zumindest einen unteren Abschnitt des Unterschenkels des Schuhträgers manschettenartig umschließenden oberen Schaftbereich;
• eine Verschluss- oder Fixierungsanordnung, mittels der der durch einen Schuheinstieg in den Schuh eingeführte Fuß und der Schuh relativ zueinander fixierbar sind.

The invention relates to a shoe, in particular a sports shoe or sports boot, comprising:

• a shoe sole comprising a sole;
• a shoe upper adjoining the shoe bottom, comprising a lower shaft region enclosing a foot of a shoe wearer together with the shoe bottom and a upper shaft region surrounding the lower shaft region, at least a lower portion of the lower leg of the shoe wearer;
• a closure or fixing arrangement by means of which the foot introduced by a shoe entry into the shoe and the shoe are fixable relative to one another.

Conventional shoes, in particular sports shoes or even sports boots, have the disadvantage that it is difficult for the user of the shoe, forces, in particular by weight shift, controlled on a respective associated with the sports shoe sports equipment (eg. a ski). In particular, the effective power transmission from a ski boot to the ski requires in conventional ski boots high stability of the foot inside the ski boot and consequently a high rigidity of the shoe or the shoe bottom, which can be achieved only by using sufficiently thick-walled materials, so that Total weight of the ski boot is relatively high. Accordingly, using thin-walled shoe components to reduce weight results in a lateral "divergence" of the shoe and, associated therewith, loss of stability of the foot within the shoe.

Other sports footwear or sports boots that are used independently of a particular sports equipment (e.g., walking boots or hiking boots and the like) may also require high stability of the foot in the shoe. If one were to use thick-walled materials, the wearing comfort would be low and the shoe comparatively heavy.

In contrast, it is an object of the present invention to provide a lightweight executable shoe construction which allows adequate stability of the foot within the shoe.

To solve this problem, a Zugelementanordnung is proposed for a shoe which is tensioned between at least one of the upper shaft region associated articulation or deflection point and at least one front side shoe bottom region associated Anlenk- or deflection to transmit tensile forces between the shaft portion and the sole, wherein the Zugelementanordnung over at least one laterally provided at a rear portion of the lower shaft portion with height distance to the sole deflecting element or feasible and deflected or deflected or deflected, such that based on the tensile forces by at least one Zugelementabschnitt in the region of the deflecting element and / or between the deflecting element and the lower articulation or deflection point on the shoe upper laterally inwardly acting pressure forces are exercised.

By means of the pressure forces generated by the tension element arrangement according to the invention, the shaft wall of the shoe in the region of the midfoot and the heel is pressed inwards relative to the sole, so that the foot is laterally stabilized inside the shoe without the shoe upper having to be thick-walled. A lateral "divergence", as is frequently observed in shoes with a thin-walled upper, can thus be avoided in the shoe construction according to the invention. By stabilizing the foot Within the shoe, forces can be transferred effectively from the foot to the shoe and from there to a sports device connected to the shoe.

It should be noted that the teaching of the invention is to be understood functionally. Thus, it is possible in principle that the deflecting element is realized by any one of a deflection of Zugelementanordnung Providing design of the shoe. But it is also conceivable, for example, a projecting on the shaft outer deflection structure.

In order to further improve the lateral stability of the shoe or the stability that can be given to the foot in the shoe, it is further proposed that the tensioning element arrangement be guided over at least one further deflecting element laterally provided at a front portion of the lower shaft region with a height distance from the sole, or deflectable and deflectable at this or is deflectable, so that the Zugelementanordnung is guided by the upper shaft member associated articulation or deflection to the provided at the rear portion of the lower shaft portion deflecting element and from this to the further deflecting element and from this to the front side shoe bottom region associated articulation or deflection , It is especially thought that based on the tensile forces by at least one Zugelementabschnitt in the region of the further deflecting element and / or between the deflecting element and the further deflecting element and / or between the further deflecting element and the lower articulation or deflection laterally to the shoe upper Internally acting pressure forces are exercisable.

In the proposed manner, by means of the tension element arrangement according to the invention, pressure forces can be exerted inwardly on the shaft wall of the shoe also in the region of the further deflection element, possibly in a central region of the shoe, around the foot within the shoe also in this area to stabilize.

Overall, the foot can be given in the shoe so a very good, highest sporting requirements sufficient stability.

In this context, it is further proposed for the arrangement of the further deflecting element that the further deflecting element is arranged higher than the deflecting element provided at the rear section of the lower shaft region.

For a particularly high flexibility in the variation or optimization of the transmission of the compressive forces, it is advantageous that the height of the further deflecting element and / or a position of the further deflecting element in a transverse direction of the shoe is adjustable and / or a position of the further deflecting element in one Lenggrichtung of the shoe is adjustable. So the shoe can be well adapted to a special shoe wearer. Furthermore, the shoe wearer can adapt the shoe to the type of shoe use, such as in the case of a ski boot, the sportiness of skiing and the style of driving.

It is envisaged that by means of the tension element arrangement in the sense of bending upward forces acting on the upper shaft portion are exercisable. It is further contemplated that by means of the tension element arrangement in the sense of bending backward acting forces on the upper shaft area are exercisable.

With regard to the Zugelementanordnung is also proposed that at least one inner tension element or inner Zugelementabschnitt is guided on an inner side of the shoe via an inner deflection or guidable and between the upper shaft member and the shoe bottom region associated articulation or deflection is tensioned, and that at least one outer tension element or outer Zugelementabschnitt guided on an outer side of the shoe via an outer deflecting element or feasible and between the upper shaft member and the shoe bottom region associated with articulated or deflection points can be tensioned.

A sufficient stabilizing effect could in principle also be achieved by a tension element arrangement only on the inside or on the outside of the shoe. It is better, however, to exert the stabilizing pressure forces on both sides of the shoe, ie the inside of the shoe and the outside of the shoe, relative to the pair of shoes worn by the wearer. Thus, a bulging of the shaft wall on both sides of the shoe can be avoided and overall a higher stabilizing effect can be achieved.

Furthermore, it proves to be advantageous if the inner tension element or the inner tension element section is guided or can be guided on the inside of the shoe via an inner further deflection element and the outer tension element or the outer tension element section on the outside of the shoe via an outer further deflection element , Thus, with the double deflection, the mentioned double pressure force exertion can be appropriately achieved for both the inside and the outside of the shoe.

Additional variations in the generation of internal and external pressure forces are achieved when the inner tension element or the inner Zugelementabschnitt on the one hand and the outer tension element or the outer Zugelementabschnitt on the other hand are independently tensioned to exert different pressure forces inside and outside or inside and outside to exert different forces acting on the sole or / and the upper shaft region in the sense of bending upward or rearward, and / or to exert forces acting in the sense of torsion on the sole or the upper shaft region. The adaptation to an individual shoe wearer and / or to a specific purpose is thus additionally facilitated.

Advantageously, the deflecting element or the inner and / or outer deflecting element in a medium height range of the heel of the Shoe wearer or be arranged above the heel. It is further contemplated that the deflecting element or the inner and / or outer deflecting element is offset relative to the outer or inner ankle of the upper ankle down. Appropriately, one can further provide that the deflecting element or the inner and / or outer deflecting element is arranged offset to the rear relative to the outer or inner ankle of the upper ankle.

There are basically many possibilities for tensioning the tension element arrangement for generating the tensile forces. Corresponding clamping arrangements are known per se in the prior art. Particularly expedient is proposed that in a rear region of the lower or upper shaft portion at least one at least one articulation or deflection point exhibiting rocker is pivotally supported, by means of which by tilting in a clamping position the Zugelementanordnung tensioned and tilting in a relaxed position, the Zugelementanordnung is relaxed ,

Further, it is proposed that the articulation or deflection point on the rocker arm in a longitudinal direction of the rocker arm are provided distributed or along the longitudinal direction of the rocker arm a plurality of alternatively usable for articulation of Zugelementanordnung articulation or deflection points to adjust the forces acting in the clamping position tensile forces. It can thus vary the resulting from the tensile forces stabilizing pressure forces. In the case of an inner tension member or Zugelementabschnitts and an outer tension member or Zugelementabschnitts an associated inner and an associated outer articulation or deflection point can be independently adjustable or independently selectable inner and outer articulation or deflection points can be selected.

Furthermore, it is advisable that the at least one articulation or deflection point of the rocker arm associated with the upper shaft portion includes upper articulation or deflection point. Such an arrangement is particularly useful when a tensioning of the traction cable should be carried out by tilting the adjustable rocker arm upwards.

Furthermore, it makes sense that the tension element arrangement is guided or can be guided by the upper articulation or deflection point assigned to the upper shaft region to the at least one articulation or deflecting element of the rocker arm. Such an arrangement is particularly useful when the tensioning of the pull rope to be achieved by tilting the rocker arm down.

The Fig. 1 and 2 show a first embodiment of the shoe according to the invention in the form of a ski boot 1 in a perspective view. The ski boot 1 is composed of a shoe bottom 3 comprising a shoe sole 5 and a shaft 7 adjoining the shoe bottom 3. The shaft 7 comprises a lower shaft region 9 and an upper shaft region 11, wherein in the embodiment the lower shaft region 9 and upper shaft region 11 are designed as two separate components of the shoe and pivotally connected to each other by means of a joint 12 over a limited angular range relative to each other, so that the upper shaft region (also referred to as a boot sleeve or only cuff) can be tilted relative to the lower shaft region limited to the rear and front. Alternatively, the lower shaft portion 9 and the upper shaft portion 11 may be integrally connected with each other. In this case, it is advisable to design the stiffness of the shoe upper in such a way that a tilting movement of the upper shaft region 11 forward relative to the lower shaft region 9 by bending the upper shaft region over a certain angular range still remains limited.

A coarse fixation of the foot introduced into the shoe takes place by means of two usual with ski boots shoe fastener buckles (in the Fig. 1 and 2 not shown) on the top of the front shaft portion 9 are attached. Of course, a different number of shoe fastener buckles is possible. Also completely different fixatives come into consideration. Alternatively, the fixing arrangement can also be realized on the back of the shoe in the form of a rear entry.

An additional, in particular lateral stabilization of the foot in the ski boot according to the invention takes place by means of a tension element arrangement. In the exemplary embodiment, this comprises a traction element 17 designed as a traction cable with an inner traction element section and an outer traction element section, wherein the inner traction element section or the inner traction cable section 171 extends essentially over the inner shoe area and the outer traction element section or the outer traction cable section 17r substantially extends the outer shoe area. The traction cable 17 extends from an inner upper articulation point 15l in the rear region of the upper shaft portion 11 via an inner deflecting element 191 to an inner front articulation point 13l, from there through a provided in the shoe sole 5 sole passage 23 (see Fig. 8 ) to an outer front articulation point 13r and from there again via an outer deflecting element 19r to the outer upper articulation point 15r in the rear region of the upper shaft region 11.

The upper pivot points 15l, 15r are arranged on an adjustable rocker arm 20. The rocker arm 20 can be switched between a tensioning and relaxation position (S or E). The traction cable 17 is in the tensioning position (S) in the region of the Zugseilabschnitte 17l and 17r on the front shaft portion 9 and thus follows the Schaftwaölbung. By tensioning the rocker arm 20 into the tensioning position (S) tensile forces act on and in the traction cable 17, so that the traction cable 17 in the area between the deflecting element 19l, 19r and front articulation point 131, 13r endeavors to assume as straight as possible a course. Such a rectilinear course of the traction cable, however, precludes the curvature of the front shoe upper in the region of the traction cable sections 17l, r. Because of the tension of the traction cable 17, therefore, the traction cable 17 exerted laterally inwardly on the wall of the shoe shaft acting compressive forces that stabilize the shoe upper. It is thus the rigidity and thus the stability of the shoe wall in the front lower shaft portion 9 improved, which causes the desired lateral stabilization of the foot within the shoe 1.

The deflection elements 19r and 191 which prevent upward tensioning of the tensioned traction cable sections contribute to the generation of the stabilizing compressive forces by determining on the one hand the course of the traction cable sections over the shoe upper sides. On the other hand, advantageously, a generation of laterally inwardly acting stabilizing compressive forces on the deflecting elements 19l, 19r itself can be provided, depending on the arrangement on the shoe upper in relation to the upper articulation points in the cocking position of the rocker arm 20.

To exit the foot from the shoe, the rocker arm 20 is moved to the relaxed position (E). Individually height-adjustable articulation points 15l (inner articulation point) and 15r (outer articulation point) are provided on the rocker arm 20. For example, a left or a right end of the traction cable 17 may be designed with a fastening element which can be inserted into a specific holding receptacle of a series of vertically staggered receptacles of the rocker arm 20, so as to engage the left traction cable section 171 and the right traction cable section 17r independently adjust the tension cable tension resulting in the tensioning position S. It was assumed in this case that the pull rope is fixed in a sole passage, so that for both Zugseilabschnitte independently of each other, the rope tension is adjustable. The individual adjustment of the stabilizing lateral pressure forces both inside and outside of the shoe wearer can customize the shoe specifically to his needs.

Alternatively, it is also conceivable as a simplified embodiment variant to provide a simplified adjustment mechanism in which a Independent positioning of the two upper pivot points 15l, 15r each other is not possible. It may be provided, for example, a left and right Zugseilabschnitt jointly associated upper pivot point.

Generally, it should be added that many possibilities exist for realizing the height adjustability of the upper articulation point or the upper articulation points. Thus, the rocker arm 20 may also be designed with an adjustment mechanism in which the height of the relevant pivot point is continuously adjustable. It can be used here on a variety of solutions in the context of ski boots, but according to the invention for a special new purpose, namely for the adjustability of the pull rope 17 (or generally the tension member) applied lateral stabilization forces, according to the invention on the shoe upper are exercised.

By tilting the upper shaft portion 11 forward relative to the lower shaft portion 9, the pressure forces acting inwardly by the tension member assembly are further enhanced so as to provide an additional stabilizing effect on the lateral stability of the foot in the ski boot. Such an additional stabilizing effect can be very advantageous. Another aspect that is important in the case of a ski boot is that the effect of the tension member assembly or the pull rope 17 of the embodiment at the same time as stiffening the ski boot against a relative tilt between the lower and the upper shaft in a presentation position (upper shaft portion 11 forward towards the lower shaft portion 9) represents. It can thus adjusted by adjusting the tension cable tension in the tensioning position by the height-adjustable articulation point or the height-adjustable articulation points on the rocker arm 20 and the stiffness of the ski boot against an adjustment in a presentation position and thus the template flexibility or template Flex are set. Moreover, it is very important for a very sporty skiing, on the one hand a good stability and Fixation of the foot in the shoe is achieved and on the other hand, the shoe has a sufficient rigidity with respect to the original position. Both are expediently made possible by the tension element arrangement according to the invention.

The Fig. 3 and 4 show a second embodiment of the shoe according to the invention in the form of a ski boot 1 ', which differs from the first embodiment by a further inner deflecting 21'l and another outer deflecting 21'r. By means of the further deflecting elements 21'l, 21'r, by means of the tensile forces generated by the tensioning element arrangement, additional inwardly acting pressure forces exerted on the shaft outer side by the pulling cable 17 'are produced both in the region between the further deflecting element 21'l, 21'r and the deflecting element 19'l, 19'r and in the area between the further deflecting element 21'l, 21'r and the front articulation point 13'l, 13'r generated. In this way, the lateral stability of the shoe upper and thus the stability of the foot in the shoe 1 'in the middle and forefoot area is further improved. The inner and outer further deflecting element 21'l, 21'r is mounted on the upper side of the front lower shaft region 9 ', so that the traction cable 17' from the respective upper articulation point 15'l, 15'r via the deflecting element 19'l, 19'r to the further deflecting 21'l, 21'r and from there to the front pivot point 13'l, 13'r, as in the Fig. 3 and 4 shown is guided.

The operation of the Zugelementanordnung in connection with the deflecting elements in the second embodiment in principle as in the first embodiment, wherein the additional outer deflecting 21'l and 21'r, however, force a different course of the pull rope on the shaft outside. As a result, the traction cable 17 'in the front shaft region is guided slightly higher than in the first embodiment over the shaft side, so that the tendency of the traction cable 17' under its tension to take a straight as possible course, stabilizing over a broader side region of the shaft outside Generates compressive forces that are exerted on the shaft outside.

The Fig. 5 and 6 show a candidate, more detailed structure of the inner and outer further deflecting 21'l, 21'r. As in Fig. 5 The inner and outer further deflecting elements 21'l, 21'r are shown in the manner of a strap and are arranged one above the other in the transverse direction on the upper side of the front shaft region 9 '. Both the outer and the inner further deflecting element 21'l, 21'r each have a slot-shaped opening 25'l, 25'r for performing a clamping element in the form of a screw 26 '.

For fastening the two further deflecting elements 21'l, 21'r on the shoe upper, the screw 26 'is guided through the two slot-shaped openings 25'l, 25'r of the further deflecting elements 21'l, 21'r and into one of a plurality of in the longitudinal direction on the upper side of the front shaft portion 9 'arranged threaded bores 27' screwed. In this way, the screw 26 'presses the two further deflection elements 21'l, 21'r on top of the front shaft region, so that there the desired fixation is achieved.

Preferably, the fixation is effected by a positive fixing by means of latching contours 31'l, 31'r, which are each arranged on the upper side of the inner further deflecting element 21'l or on the underside of the outer further deflecting element 21'r. The two latching contours 31'l, 31'r are brought by pressing on the top of the front shaft portion by means of the screw 26 'into engagement. In this way, a particularly high stabilization in the transverse direction is achieved. Since, during tensioning of the traction cable 17 ', the tensile forces generated by the traction element arrangement and acting on the deflecting elements likewise act in the transverse direction of the shoe, they at least partially compensate each other. As a result of the tensioning of the two deflecting elements 21 '1, 21''between the shank and the head of the screw 26', then at most only a small retaining force needs to be applied. A "slippage" of the two other deflection 21'l, 21'r to each other and relative to the shaft by tensioning the pull cable 17 'and by means of the tensile forces thus generated can be reliably avoided.

In a variant, it can also be provided to provide an additional latching engagement between the surface of the front lower shaft region 9 'and the respective further deflecting element (21' l or 21'r) resting thereon so as to fix the two further deflecting elements 21 '. l, 21'r on the front lower shaft portion 9 'in addition to reinforce.

By means of a variation of the position of the two further deflection elements 21'l, 21'r relative to one another and absolutely in relation to the surface of the front lower shaft region 9 ', there are various possibilities for varying the inwardly acting pressure forces generated by the tension element arrangement, by: the height of the position of the two further deflection elements 21'l, 21'r relative to the shoe sole and thus the course of the pull cable 17 'is adjusted. In addition, a variation of the position of the further deflection elements 21'l, 21'r be provided in the longitudinal direction. In the exemplary embodiment, threaded bores 27 'arranged at a spacing in the longitudinal direction are realized for this purpose in the region of the upper side of the front lower shaft region 9', as in FIG Fig. 5 to recognize. Depending on the desired longitudinal position, the fixing of the two further deflecting elements 21l ', 21'r by means of the screw 21' takes place in a threaded bores 27 'indicated at the desired longitudinal position.

In a further embodiment variant, it is also conceivable to fasten the inner or outer further deflecting element 21 '1, 21' by means of two screws 26 'or other tightening or fixing elements at different longitudinal positions of the front lower shaft region 9' and, for example, each with a Fixing raster on the surface of the front lower shaft portion 9 'to fix.

The Fig. 7 and 8th show a sectional view and a perspective view of the front lower shaft portion 9 'of the second embodiment. In Fig. 7 it is shown how the traction cable 17 'of the tension element assembly is guided from the inner front articulation point 13'l through the sole passage 23' in the shoe bottom 3 'to the outer front articulation point 13'r. In this case, the pull cable 17 'is fixed in the region of the sole passage 23' on the shoe bottom 3 '. This fixation is, as already mentioned, necessary if the inner and outer Zugseilabschnitt 17'l, 17'r should be independently clamped, so that a variety of variations with respect to the pressure forces generated by the two Zugelementabschnitte are possible. The fixation of the pull cable 17 'can be realized for example by means of a simple clamping device. Alternatively, the fixation can also be done by an adhesive.

In a variant of the second embodiment, it may also be provided to dispense with a fixation of the traction cable 17 'in the region of the sole passage 23' so that the traction cable 17 'remains movable within the sole passage 23'. However, in such a simplified embodiment, the possibility of the independent tensioning of the inner or outer Zugseilabschnitts 17'l, 17'r lost. The in the Fig. 7 and 8th shown arrangement of Zugseilbereichs in the sole passage 23 'is also in the in the Fig. 1 and 2 realized first embodiment realized.

By means of the tension element arrangements explained in the two embodiments, it is possible to generate pressure forces acting inwards on the shaft wall in a variety of ways, in particular in the front lower shaft area 9 or 9 '. Thus, in many ways, the freedom of movement and accordingly the stability of the foot can be adjusted in the shoe. In this way, the shoe construction according to the invention makes it possible to increase the shoe hardness or shoe rigidity by means of a single tension element arrangement according to the invention that despite the use of lightweight and thin-walled shank materials in terms of their rigidity, the effect of shoes with much thicker walled and stiffer shank materials can be achieved. Thus, a stability of the foot can be achieved in the shoe, which was previously possible only with much thick-walled shank materials.

The Fig. 9 shows a variant of the first embodiment of the shoe according to the invention in the form of a ski boot 1 ", in which the pull cable 17" from an arranged at the upper shaft portion 11 "inner and outer upper deflection point 15" l, 15 "r to an inner or outer Anlenkpunkt 16 "l, 16" r of the rocker arm 20 "is continued. The upper shaft region 11 "associated deflection point 15" l, 15 "r can be designed in the form of an eyelet into which the pull cable 17" is mounted. The tensioning of the traction cable 17 "takes place by tilting the adjustable rocker arm 20" in the clamping position (S) downwards.

The tensioning of the traction cable 17 "by tilting the adjustable rocker arm 20" down the shoe wearer facilitates the clamping operation, since the foot can be supported with the shoe in the downward direction on the ground. In this way, a possible undesired lifting of the shoe 1 "when moving the rocker arm 20" in the clamping position (S) is avoided.

In Fig. 10 A further variant 1 "" of the first embodiment is shown, in which the traction cable 17 "'in the region between the inner deflecting element 19"' and the upper upper portion 11 "'associated inner upper deflection point 15"' l in a in the upper shaft region Similarly, the traction cable 17 '' extends between the outer deflecting element 19 '' r and the deflecting point 15 '' r associated with the upper shaft region 11 '' likewise in a passage arranged in the upper shaft region 11 '' , As a deflection point 15 "', 15"' r associated with the upper shaft region 1 "', a respective pull cable outlet opening of the respective bushing is to be identified It is not necessary to form the inner or outer deflection point 15 '', 15 '' r in the form of an eyelet associated with the upper shaft region 11 ''. In this variant, the surface of the upper shaft region 11 '' stands for further components. For example, additional buckles of the ski boot 1 "'available.

In a further variant, it is also conceivable to define the region between an inner or outer front articulation or deflection point (see articulation points 13l, 13r and 13'l, 13'r of the first and second embodiments described above) and the inner or outer articulation point. outer deflecting element (see 19l, 19r, 19'l, 19'r) likewise to be provided with a passage inside the front shaft region (compare 9, 9 '), through which the pulling cable can be guided. The inner and outer deflecting elements can be embodied integrally with such a feedthrough and can be realized, for example, by a deflectable course of the feedthrough. It could also be provided through openings between the upper deflecting elements and the front articulation or deflection points.
