Abstract

At least part of the profiled tread blocks (14) on the sole are laminated. The laminations are divided from each other by cuts crosswise to the direction of stress applied to the sole and depending on the terrain. The height of the laminations corresponds to the height of the profiled blocks and their width corresponds to a fraction of the height of the lamination. The profiled blocks have gaps crosswise to the lengthwise direction of the laminations. The laminations are formed by incisions (22) in the profiled blocks and end alternately on the rim of the sole of the shoe or spaced apart from the rim (20) of the sole. <IMAGE>

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Schuhsohle aus elastomerem Material mit einem durch Profilblöcke gebildeten Laufprofil.The invention relates to a shoe sole made of elastomeric material with a tread formed by tread blocks.

Derartige Schuhsohlen sind von festen Wanderschuhen oder Winterschuhen her bekannt. Die Schuhsohlen sind profiliert ausgebildet, damit die Sohlen rutschfest sind und dem Träger der Schuhe eine gute Standfestigkeit verleihen. Derartige Sohlen verlieren jedoch ihre Rutschfestigkeit auf glatten, nassen Unterlagen wie PVC-Belägen, Fliesen oder insbesondere auf verschneiten oder vereisten Böden. Bei verschneiten oder vereisten Unterlagen führen geringe Rutschbewegungen an der Kontaktfläche zur Bildung eines Keils aus Wasser zwischen der Auflagefläche der Sohle und der Bodenoberfläche, so daß die Reibung stark abnimmt und Stürze sich oft nicht mehr vermeiden lassen.Such shoe soles are known from firm hiking shoes or winter shoes. The soles of the shoes are profiled so that the soles are non-slip and give the wearer of the shoes good stability. However, such soles lose their slip resistance on smooth, wet surfaces such as PVC coverings, tiles or in particular on snow-covered or icy floors. In the case of snow-covered or icy surfaces, slight sliding movements on the contact surface lead to the formation of a wedge of water between the contact surface of the sole and the surface of the floor, so that the friction decreases greatly and falls can often no longer be avoided.

Um hier eine Verbesserung zu schaffen, wurden spezielle Schneesohlen entwickelt, die auch beim Trekking zum Einsatz kommen. Diese Sohlen weisen eine Vielzahl von Profilstollen auf, wobei zwischen den Profilstollen Freiräume liegen. Der Flächenanteil der Freiräume ist dabei recht hoch, so daß die Flächenpressung der Profilstollen auf den Boden erhöht ist, wodurch eine verbesserte Rutschfestigkeit gegeben ist. Derartige Sohlen haben jedoch den Nachteil, daß durch die höhere Materialbeanspruchung aufgrund der höheren Flächenpressung der Abrieb und Verschleiß der Schuhsohle stark erhöht ist. Er kann nicht durch größere Materialhärten kompensiert werden, da dadurch die Reibungskoeffizienten in der Regel reduziert würden. Auch werden die Kontaktflächen mit zunehmendem Verschleiß breiter, so daß die Rutschfestigkeit insbesondere auf nassem, glattem Untergrund reduziert ist.In order to improve this, special snow soles have been developed that are also used for trekking. These soles have a variety of treads with free spaces between the tread lugs. The area share of the free spaces is quite high, so that the surface pressure of the tread lugs on the floor is increased, which results in improved slip resistance. However, such soles have the disadvantage that the abrasion and wear of the shoe sole is greatly increased by the higher material stress due to the higher surface pressure. It cannot be compensated for by greater material hardness, as this would generally reduce the coefficient of friction. The contact surfaces also become wider with increasing wear, so that the slip resistance is reduced, particularly on wet, smooth surfaces.

Ausgehend von diesem Stand der Technik ist es Aufgabe der Erfindung, eine Schuhsohle mit verbesserter Rutschfestigkeit bei unterschiedlicher Bodenbeschaffenheit bereitzustellen.Starting from this prior art, it is an object of the invention to provide a shoe sole with improved slip resistance with different types of soil.

Diese Aufgabe wird gelöst durch das kennzeichnende Merkmal des Anspruchs 1. Mit dieser in Anspruch 1 aufgezeigten Lösung ergibt sich in überraschender Weise insbesondere auf glatten, nassen Unterlagen eine stark erhöhte Rutschfestigkeit der erfindungsgemäßen Schuhsohle; denn zum einen ist durch die Lamellen die Bildung eines Wasserkeils zwischen Sohlenauflagefläche und Unterlage verhindert, da das Wasser durch die Lamellenzwischenräume auspreßbar ist. Zum anderen verbiegen sich die Lamellen bei Belastung, so daß durch die Lamellen viele Profilkanten gebildet sind, die die Kontaktfläche des Profilblocks auf dem Boden bilden. Gegenüber einer Sohle mit glatter Profilblockkontaktfläche ist die Rutschfestigkeit bei der erfindungsgemäßen Sohle stark erhöht.This object is achieved by the characterizing feature of claim 1. This solution, which is set out in claim 1, surprisingly results in a greatly increased slip resistance of the shoe sole according to the invention, particularly on smooth, wet surfaces; because on the one hand, the formation of a water wedge between the sole contact surface and the underlay is prevented by the lamellae, since the water can be squeezed out through the lamella spaces. On the other hand, the lamellae bend under load, so that many lamella edges are formed by the lamellae, which form the contact surface of the profile block on the floor. Compared to a sole with a smooth tread block contact surface, the slip resistance of the sole according to the invention is greatly increased.

Weiter vorteilhaft ist, daß die Kanten der Lamellen sich im Laufe der Zeit durch Abrieb abschleifen, so daß auch im unbelasteten Zustand, also wenn die Lamellen nicht verbogen sind, die Oberfläche der Profilblöcke uneben ist. Damit ist auch bei nicht so starker Belastung der Schuhsohle, beispielsweise beim Aufsetzen der Schuhsohle, bereits eine bessere Rutschfestigkeit aufgrund dieser unebenen Oberfläche gegeben. Insgesamt führt die erfindungsgemäße Ausgestaltung zu einer erheblichen Verbesserung der Sohleneigenschaften hinsichtlich ihrer Rutschfestigkeit.It is also advantageous that the edges of the lamellas are abraded over time, so that even in the unloaded condition, i.e. if the slats are not bent, the surface of the profile blocks is uneven. This means that even with less stress on the shoe sole, for example when putting the shoe sole on, there is already better slip resistance due to this uneven surface. Overall, the configuration according to the invention leads to a considerable improvement in the sole properties with regard to their slip resistance.

Die erfindungsgemäße Schuhsohle wird aufgrund der lamellierten Profilblöcke weicher sein, da die Lamellen bei Bodenunebenheiten und Drehbewegungen des Trägers sich verbiegen. Die Gelenke werden dann weniger belastet.The shoe sole according to the invention will be softer due to the laminated tread blocks, since the slats bend due to uneven floors and rotational movements of the wearer. The joints are then less stressed.

Die Ausgestaltung der Schuhsohle nach der Erfindung und die dadurch bewirkte erhöhte Rutschfestigkeit eröffnet die Möglichkeit, billigere oder in der Produktion rationeller einsetzbare Materialien für die Schuhsohle einzusetzen, ohne dabei die Rutschfestigkeit zu beeinträchtigen, da in kritischen Situationen bei Verwendung von geeigneten Materialien, wie PU, die Rutschfestigkeit von Gummi zu erreichen ist.The design of the shoe sole according to the invention and the resulting increased slip resistance open up the possibility of using cheaper or more economically usable materials for the shoe sole without impairing the slip resistance, since in critical situations when using suitable materials, such as PU, the slip resistance of rubber can be achieved.

Wenn die Lamellen sich gemäß Anspruch 2 quer zur Sohlenhauptbelastungsrichtung erstrecken, können sie sich leicht verbiegen und ihre Wirkungen besonders vorteilhaft entfalten.If, according to claim 2, the lamellae extend transversely to the main sole loading direction, they can bend easily and have a particularly advantageous effect.

Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen der Lamellenabmessungen sind Gegenstand der Ansprüche 3 und 4.Advantageous configurations of the lamella dimensions are the subject of claims 3 and 4.

In der Ausgestaltung nach Anspruch 5 sind in die Profilblöcke quer zur Lamellenlängsrichtung verlaufende Spalte eingeformt, so daß ein Profilblock mehrere Lamellengruppen aufweist.In the embodiment according to claim 5, gaps extending transversely to the longitudinal direction of the slats are formed in the profile blocks, so that a profile block has a plurality of slat groups.

Gemäß Anspruch 6 sind die Lamellen in einfachster Weise durch in die Profilblöcke eingebrachte Einschnitte gebildet.According to claim 6, the slats are formed in the simplest way by incisions made in the profile blocks.

Weitere vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen sind Gegenstand der Ansprüche 7 bis 9.Further advantageous refinements are the subject of claims 7 to 9.

In Figur 1 und 2 ist eine Schuhsohle 10 gezeigt, die aus einem elastomeren Material, wie Gummi, Polyurethan, PVC oder dergleichen, besteht. Die Schuhsohle 10 weist ein Laufprofil 12 auf, das aus Profilblöcken 14 und 16 gebildet ist. Zwischen den Profilblöcken 14, 16 ist ein Freiraum 18 gebildet. Die Profilblöcke 14 sind im wesentlichen quaderförmig ausgestaltet und parallel zum Rand 20 der Schuhsohle 10 angeordnet. Die vom Rand 20 entfernt liegenden Profilblöcke 16 sind in diesem Ausführungsbeispiel in ihrer Draufsicht kreuzförmig ausgebildet (Fig. 2).In Figures 1 and 2, a shoe sole 10 is shown, which consists of an elastomeric material such as rubber, polyurethane, PVC or the like. The shoe sole 10 has a tread 12, which is formed from tread blocks 14 and 16. A free space 18 is formed between the profile blocks 14, 16. The tread blocks 14 are essentially cuboid and are arranged parallel to the edge 20 of the shoe sole 10. The profile blocks 16 located away from the edge 20 are in this exemplary embodiment, it is formed in a cross shape in its plan view (FIG. 2).

In Figur 3 ist einer der Profilblöcke 14 in einer Seitenansicht gezeigt. Der Profilblock 14 ist durch Einschnitte 22, die sich vom Rand 20 wegerstrecken, in Lamellen 24 aufgeteilt. Die Lamellen 24 erstrecken sich somit im wesentlichen quer zur lokaltypischen Sohlenbelastungsrichtung. Die Lamellenhöhe H entspricht in etwa der Profilblockhöhe. Die Breite B der Lamellen 24 entspricht einem Bruchteil der Lamellenhöhe H. Dadurch ist gewährleistet, daß die Lamellen 24 sich, wie in Figur 4 dargestellt, bei Belastung verbiegen können. Für abgenützte Sohlen oder bei geringen Lamellentiefen H, die kleiner als B sind, läßt die Wirkung nach, da die Lamellen immer weniger "verbogen" werden. Die unteren Ränder 26 der Lamellen 24 bilden im unbelasteten Zustand die Auflagefläche des Profilblocks 14 (Fig. 3). Bei Belastung der Schuhsohle 10 liegt aufgrund des Verbiegens der Lamellen 24 die Auflagefläche des Profilblocks 14 nur noch linienförmig mit ihren Kanten 28 der Lamellen 24 (Fig. 4) auf dem Boden auf. Dabei sind durch die Lamellen 24, die Lamellenränder 26 und -kanten 28 Kanäle 30 gebildet. Durch die Kanäle 30 kann sich bildendes oder schon vorhandenes Wasser in die Freiräume 18 gepreßt werden.In Figure 3, one of the profile blocks 14 is shown in a side view. The profile block 14 is divided into slats 24 by cuts 22 which extend away from the edge 20. The slats 24 thus extend essentially transversely to the local sole loading direction. The slat height H corresponds approximately to the profile block height. The width B of the slats 24 corresponds to a fraction of the slat height H. This ensures that the slats 24, as shown in FIG. 4, can bend under load. For worn soles or with small slat depths H, which are smaller than B, the effect diminishes because the slats are less and less "bent". The lower edges 26 of the slats 24 form the bearing surface of the profile block 14 in the unloaded state (FIG. 3). When the shoe sole 10 is loaded, the contact surface of the tread block 14 only lies linearly with its edges 28 of the slats 24 (FIG. 4) on the floor due to the bending of the slats 24. Channels 30 are formed by the slats 24, the slat edges 26 and edges 28. Forming or already existing water can be pressed into the free spaces 18 through the channels 30.

Nach einer gewissen Benutzungsdauer der Schuhsohle 10 sind die Kanten 28 der Lamellen 24 abgeschliffen und haben eine, wie in Figur 5 dargestellt, abgerundete Form. Damit ist auch im unbelasteten Zustand der Schuhsohle 10 die Auflagefläche des Profilblocks 14 nicht mehr eben (Fig. 5). So sind im unbelasteten, bzw. wenig belasteten Zustand der Schuhsohle 10 bereits Kanäle 32 gebildet, durch die zwischen der Auflagefläche und der Unterlage gelangtes Wasser in die Freiräume 18 abfließen kann.After a certain period of use of the shoe sole 10, the edges 28 of the slats 24 are ground off and have a rounded shape, as shown in FIG. 5. This means that the contact surface of the tread block 14 is no longer flat even when the shoe sole 10 is unloaded (FIG. 5). Thus, in the unloaded or lightly loaded state of the shoe sole 10, channels 32 are already formed, through which water that has passed between the contact surface and the base can flow into the free spaces 18.

Die Lamellen können auch im Abstand nebeneinander angeordnet sein. Dadurch sind bereits im nicht abgenutzten Zustand der Schuhsohle Kanäle zur Wasserabführung zwischen den Lamellen gebildet. Bei dieser Schuhsohle können die Lamellen bereits in der Gußform der Schuhsohle vorgesehen sein.The slats can also be arranged next to one another at a distance. As a result, channels for water drainage between the lamellae are formed even when the shoe sole is not worn. In this shoe sole, the lamellae can already be provided in the mold of the shoe sole.

Die Lamellen 24 können in ihrer Längsrichtung eben ausgebildet sein, wie in Figur 2 gezeigt. Hier enden die geraden Einschnitte am Sohlenrand. Stattdessen kann vorgesehen sein, daß die Lamellen, oder ein Teil der Lamellen, die in Figur 6A mit 24' bezeichnet sind, im Abstand vor dem Sohlenrand 20 enden.The slats 24 can be flat in their longitudinal direction, as shown in Figure 2. Here the straight cuts end at the sole edge. Instead, it can be provided that the lamellae, or a part of the lamellae, which are denoted by 24 'in FIG. 6A, end at a distance in front of the sole edge 20.

Gemäß Ausführungsbeispiel 6B können die Lamellen 24 und 24' abwechselnd am Sohlenrand bzw. im Abstand vom Sohlenrand 20 enden. Dies empfiehlt sich insbesondere an Stellen, die stark beansprucht sind, wie am hinteren Absatz oder an der Schuhspitze.According to exemplary embodiment 6B, the lamellae 24 and 24 ′ can end alternately at the sole edge or at a distance from the sole edge 20. This is particularly recommended in places that are subject to heavy wear, such as on the rear heel or on the toe.

Gemäß Ausführungsbeispiel 6C kann zusätzlich zu den Lamellen 24 bzw. 24 und 24'' ein parallel zum Sohlenrand 20 verlaufender Einschnitt 25 vorgesehen sein, der eine zusätzliche Kante gegen Ausrutschen in Querrichtung bietet.According to exemplary embodiment 6C, in addition to the slats 24 or 24 and 24 ″, an incision 25 running parallel to the sole edge 20 can be provided, which provides an additional edge to prevent it from slipping in the transverse direction.

Die Lamellen können auch eine wellenförmige Ausgestaltung aufweisen, die fertigungstechnisch etwas aufwendiger ist. Dies ist in Figur 6D bei 24'' schematisch angedeutet. Eine wellenförmige Ausgestaltung würde den Profilblöcken auch in Längsrichtung der Lamellen eine gewisse Biegeelastizität geben. Beim Verschleiß wird ein unterschiedlicher Abtrag auch an der Längsrichtung vorgenommen. Dadurch ergibt sich an der Sohlenoberfläche eine Vielzahl von Punkten erhöhter Flächenpressung, die durch Verschleiß nicht nachläßt.The lamellae can also have a wave-shaped configuration which is somewhat more complex in terms of production technology. This is indicated schematically in FIG. 6D at 24 ″. A wave-shaped configuration would also give the profile blocks a certain bending elasticity in the longitudinal direction of the slats. In the case of wear, a different removal is also carried out on the longitudinal direction. This results in a large number of points of increased surface pressure on the sole surface, which does not subside due to wear.

Eine derartige Biegeelastizität in Längsrichtung kann auch durch quer zur Längsrichtung verlaufende und in den Profilblöcken vorgesehene Spalte bewirkt werden.Such a bending elasticity in the longitudinal direction can also be brought about by gaps running transversely to the longitudinal direction and provided in the profile blocks.

Die beschriebene Schuhsohle ist auch bei Freizeit-, Sport- und Alltagsschuhen mit Erfolg einsetzbar. Denn eine Verbesserung der Rutschfestigkeit der Schuhsohlen ist insbesondere bei nasser und glitschiger Bodenbeschaffenheit von großem Wert, um die Unfallsicherheit zu erhöhen.The sole of the shoe described can also be used successfully in leisure, sports and everyday shoes. Because an improvement in the slip resistance of the shoe soles is of great value, especially in wet and slippery conditions, in order to increase the safety against accidents.
