Description

Gegenstand der Erfindung ist eine Sandale, bestehend aus einem Schuhoberteil und einer Schuhsohle, wobei das Schuhoberteil an der Schuhsohle befestigt ist und die Schuhsohle aufgebaut ist aus einer Außensohle, einer Mittelsohle und einem darauf angeordneten Fußbett, das herausnehmbar ist.The invention relates to a sandal, comprising a shoe upper and a shoe sole, wherein the shoe upper is attached to the shoe sole and the shoe sole is constructed of an outsole, a midsole and a footbed thereon, which is removable.

Schuhe, insbesondere Sportschuhe, weisen zunehmend aufwendige Sohlenkonstruktionen auf. Der Sohlenaufbau soll dabei sowohl zur Stabilisierung des Fußes als auch zur Dämpfung beim Gehen dienen. Übliche Sohlenaufbauten sind deshalb 3-teilig und bestehen aus einer Außensohle, einer Mittelsohle und einer Innensohle. Die Außensohle dient dazu, den Schuh und den Träger des Schuhes vor Kälte und Schmutz zu schützen und beispielsweise durch ein geeignetes Profil die Trittsicherheit und Rutschfestigkeit des Schuhes zu erhöhen. Zudem schützen Außensohlen den Schuh gegen einen Verschleiß der Sohle. Die auf der Außensohle angeordnete Mittelsohle wird häufig dafür genutzt, zusätzliche Stabilitätseigenschaften oder Dämpfungseigenschaften in die Sohlenkonstruktion einzubringen. Auf der Mittelsohle ist üblicherweise eine Innensohle angeordnet, die dem Tragekomfort des Nutzers dient und zu einem angenehmen Tragegefühl führen soll.Shoes, especially sports shoes, have increasingly complex sole constructions. The sole construction is intended to serve both for stabilization of the foot and for damping while walking. Usual sole structures are therefore 3-piece and consist of an outsole, a midsole and an insole. The outsole serves to protect the shoe and the wearer of the shoe from cold and dirt and to increase, for example, by a suitable profile, the slip resistance and skid resistance of the shoe. In addition, outsoles protect the shoe against wear on the sole. The midsole on the outsole is often used to add additional stability or cushioning properties to the sole construction. On the midsole usually an insole is arranged, which serves the comfort of the user and should lead to a comfortable fit.

Bei Sportschuhen, Wanderschuhen und anderen Schuhen, die einer hohen Belastung ausgesetzt sind und die bei großer körperlicher Aktivität getragen werden, verschmutzt die Innensohle mit zunehmender Tragedauer, insbesondere durch Fußschweiß. Hierdurch kommt es zu einer Geruchsbildung und einer Verschlechterung des Tragekomforts.For athletic shoes, hiking boots and other shoes that are subjected to high levels of stress and that are worn during periods of physical activity, the insole foultens with increasing wearing time, especially foot sweat. This leads to an odor and a deterioration of wearing comfort.

Teilweise werden deshalb Einlegesohlen genutzt, die den Schweiß aufnehmen sollen und hierdurch die Geruchsbildung verringern. Diese Einiegesohlen haben jedoch den Nachteil, dass sie leicht im Schuh verrutschen und den durch die Innensohle bzw. das Fußbett bedingten Tragekomfort verschlechtern. Zudem müssen auch die Einlegesohlen nach einer Zeit ausgetauscht werden und bieten keine dauerhafte Lösung.In some cases, therefore, insoles are used to absorb the sweat and thereby reduce odors. However, these insoles have the disadvantage that they slip easily in the shoe and worsen the comfort caused by the insole or the footbed. In addition, the insoles must be replaced after a time and provide no permanent solution.

Ein Schuhwerk mit einer Einlegesohle, die gegen Verrutschen befestigt wird, ist aus der EP 0 225 285 B1 bekannt. Die Einlegesohle weist dabei eine lösbare Befestigung auf, so dass die Einlegesohle mittels eines Druckknopfes an der Mittelsohle befestigt werden kann. Die Druckknöpfe sind zumindest teilweise aus Metall gefertigt. Die relativ filigranen Strukturen haben den Nachteil, dass sie bei hoher Beanspruchung leicht beschädigt werden können. Zudem sind Metallteile in Schuhen zurzeit häufig nicht gewünscht, da sie Probleme bei der Flughafenkontrolle geben können.A footwear with an insole that is attached to prevent slipping is from the EP 0 225 285 B1 known. The insole has a releasable attachment so that the insole can be attached by means of a push button on the midsole. The snaps are at least partially made of metal. The relatively filigree structures have the disadvantage that they can be easily damaged at high stress. In addition, metal parts in shoes are currently often undesirable, as they can give problems in airport control.

Anders als bei geschlossenen Schuhen, wie Sportschuhen, können bei Sandalen auch wenn es sich um sportliche Sandalen oder Trekkingsandalen handelt, keine Einlegesohlen eingesetzt werden. Während ein geschlossener Schuh einen "Rahmen" hat, in dem die Einlegesohle ruht und hierdurch Halt hat, existiert ein solcher Rahmen bei Sandalen nicht. Entsprechend hätte eine normale Einlegesohle in einer Sandale keinen Halt. Durch den fehlenden Rahmen würde die Einlegesohle hin und her rutschen und daher zu einer erheblichen Verschlechterung des Tragekomforts führen.Unlike closed-top shoes, such as sports shoes, sandals can not use insoles, even when it comes to athletic sandals or trekking sandals. While a closed shoe has a "frame" in which the insole rests and thus has hold, such a frame does not exist with sandals. Accordingly, a normal insole in a sandal would have no hold. Due to the missing frame, the insole would slip back and forth and therefore lead to a significant deterioration in wearing comfort.

Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ist es, eine Sandale bereitzustellen, bei der das Fußbett leicht gereinigt werden kann, gleichzeitig einen stabilen Halt in der Sandale hat und nicht verrutscht und somit einen hohen Tragekomfort bietet.Object of the present invention is to provide a sandal in which the footbed can be easily cleaned, at the same time has a stable grip in the sandal and does not slip and thus provides a high level of comfort.

Die Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß gelöst durch eine Sandale, bestehend aus einem Schuhoberteil und einer Schuhsohle, die mit dem Schuhoberteil verbunden ist, wobei die Schuhsohle aufgebaut ist aus einer Außensohle, ggf. einer Mittelsohle und einem auf der Mittelsohle angeordneten Fußbett, das herausnehmbar ist, dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass

  • das Fußbett mindestens zwei Rastelemente aufweist, ein vorderes Rastelement an der Vorderseite des Fußbetts und ein hinteres Rastelement an der Unterseite des Fußbetts in dessen Fersenbereich,
  • die Außensohle oder die Mittelsohle im vorderen Bereich ein Element zur Aufnahme des vorderen Rastelementes aufweist und
  • die Außensohle und die Mittelsohle eine Öffnung aufweisen zur Aufnahme des zweiten Rastelementes, wobei die Öffnung durch die gesamte Sohlendicke reicht.
The object is achieved by a sandal, consisting of a shoe upper and a shoe sole, which is connected to the shoe upper, wherein the shoe sole is constructed of an outsole, possibly a midsole and arranged on the midsole footbed, which is removable, characterized marked that
  • the footbed has at least two locking elements, a front locking element on the front of the footbed and a rear locking element on the underside of the footbed in the heel area,
  • the outsole or the midsole in the front region has a member for receiving the front locking element and
  • the outsole and the midsole have an opening for receiving the second locking element, wherein the opening extends through the entire sole thickness.

Weitere Ausführungsformen sind Gegenstand der Unteransprüche oder nachstehend beschrieben.Further embodiments are the subject matter of the subclaims or described below.

Die Sohle der erfindungsgemäßen Sandale ist, wie bei Sportsandalen oder Outdoorsandalen allgemein üblich, mehrteilig aufgebaut. Auf einer Außensohle ist ggf. eine Mittelsohle angeordnet, die nach oben zur Sandaleninnenseite durch ein Fußbett, das auch als Innensohle bezeichnet werden kann, abgeschlossen wird. Die erfindungsgemäße Sandale ist z.B. eine Sport- oder Trekkingsandale, da das System besonders vorteilhaft ist bei Sandalen, bei denen durch körperliche Aktivität viel Fußschweiß entsteht. Die erfindungsgemäße Sandale weist in einer Ausführungsform eine Sohle auf, die nur aus einer Außensohle und einem Fußbett aufgebaut ist. Die Außensohle ist dann z.B. eine Gummisandalensohle.The sole of the sandal according to the invention is, as is common practice in sports sandals or outdoor sandals, constructed in several parts. On an outsole, if necessary, a midsole is arranged, which is closed at the top to the sandal inside by a footbed, which can also be referred to as insole. The sandal of the invention is e.g. a sports or trekking sandal, as the system is particularly beneficial for sandals where physical activity creates a lot of foot sweat. In one embodiment, the sandal according to the invention has a sole, which is constructed only from an outsole and an insole. The outsole is then e.g. a rubber sole.

Der besondere Vorteil der erfindungsgemäßen Sandale ist, dass das Fußbett leicht, mit wenigen Handgriffen, herausnehmbar ist. Wenn das Fußbett verschmutzt ist oder, beispielsweise durch Schweiß, zunehmend zur Geruchsbildung neigt, kann dieses leicht aus der Sandale entnommen werden. Das herausgenommene Fußbett lässt sich dann waschen, wobei es bevorzugt sogar in der Waschmaschine waschbar ist.The particular advantage of the sandal according to the invention is that the footbed is easy, with a few simple steps, removable. If the footbed is dirty or, for example due to sweat, increasingly tends to form an odor, it can easily be removed from the sandal. The removed footbed can then be washed, whereby it is preferably even washable in the washing machine.

Nach der Wäsche lässt sich das Fußbett mit wenigen Handgriffen einfach in die Sandale zurückführen und sitzt dort sicher und gegen Verrutschen geschützt, so dass keine Beeinträchtigung des Tragekomforts entsteht.After washing, the footbed can be easily returned to the sandal with just a few simple steps, where it sits securely and protected against slipping so that it does not impair wearer comfort.

Das Fußbett der erfindungsgemäßen Sandale wird im vorderen Bereich durch ein vorderes Rastelement gehalten, das bevorzugt eine umlaufende Feder ist aber auch wie das hintere Rastelemente oder ähnlich gestaltet sein kann. Dieses Rastelement greift in ein Aufnahmeelement im vorderen Bereich der Mittelsohle oder der Außensohle ein, das bevorzugt eine Nut ist. Im hinteren Bereich wird das erfindungsgemäße Fußbett durch ein zweites Rastelement gehalten, das bevorzugt zapfenförmig ist. Dieses zweite Rastelement greift durch eine Öffnung der Außensohle und ggf. der Mittelsohle, bevorzugt im Fersenbereich. Diese Öffnung reicht durch die gesamte Sohlendicke, so dass ein "Loch" in der Sohle vorhanden ist und nicht nur eine Einkerbung oder Einbuchtung. Bevorzugt ist das hintere Rastelement eine unter der Ferse liegende Auswölbung, die sich zunächst mittig verjüngt und am Ende wieder ringförmig vergrößert. Zur Konterung des Fußbetts ist die ringförmige Vergrößerung bevorzugt größer als die Öffnung in der Mittel- und Außensohle. Wenn die Sandale eine Mittelsohle aufweist, weist diese zusätzliche die Öffnung auf. Bei Sandalen, die keine Mittelsohle haben, befindet sich die Öffnung entsprechend nur in der Außensohle. Die Öffnung ist bevorzugt eine kreisförmige Ausnehmung in der Sohle.The footbed of the sandal according to the invention is held in the front region by a front locking element, which is preferably a circumferential spring but also how the rear locking elements or similar can be designed. This locking element engages in a receiving element in the front region of the midsole or the outsole, which is preferably a groove. In the rear area, the footbed according to the invention is held by a second catch element, which is preferably pin-shaped. This second locking element engages through an opening of the outsole and possibly the midsole, preferably in the heel area. This opening extends through the entire Sole thickness so that there is a "hole" in the sole and not just a notch or indentation. Preferably, the rear locking element is located below the heel bulge, which initially tapers in the middle and at the end again increases annularly. To counter the footbed, the annular enlargement is preferably larger than the opening in the middle and outsole. If the sandal has a midsole, this additional has the opening. For sandals that have no midsole, the opening is located only in the outsole. The opening is preferably a circular recess in the sole.

Unter Vorderseite wird jeweils der Bereich der Sandale verstanden, der sich vor der Fußmitte, insbesondere im Bereich der Zehen und des Ballens befindet. Unter Fersenbereich wird der Bereich der Sandale verstanden, der sich hinter der Fußmitte, insbesondere im hinteren Drittel des Schuhs befindet. Die Begriffe oben und unten sind jeweils relativ zum Boden, auf dem der Schuh steht, verstanden.Under front is understood in each case the area of the sandal, which is located in front of the foot center, in particular in the area of the toes and the bale. By heel area is meant the area of the sandal that is located behind the middle of the foot, especially in the back third of the shoe. The terms top and bottom are each relative to the ground on which the shoe is understood.

Das Fußbett besteht bevorzugt aus einem elastischen Material, beispielsweise aus 100% Ethylenvinylacetat (EVA), bevorzugt einem aus einem Stück geformten EVA-Element. Das Fußbett der erfindungsgemäßen Sandale kann zusätzlich gelocht sein und/oder Einkerbungen aufweisen, um für eine Luftzirkulation zu sorgen und eine Wasserabführung zu gewährleisten.The footbed is preferably made of an elastic material, for example 100% ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA), preferably a one-piece molded EVA element. The footbed of the sandal according to the invention may additionally be perforated and / or have notches to provide for air circulation and to ensure water removal.

Um das Fußbett in die erfindungemäße Sandale einzubringen, wird das Fußbett nach dem Waschen von hinten in die vordere Nut eingeführt, so dass das vordere Rastelement in der Nut zum Liegen kommt. Das Fußbett wird dann nach unten in Richtung der Außensohle gedrückt, wobei das hintere Rastelement in die Öffnung im Fersenbereich der Mittel- und Außensohle gedrückt wird.In order to introduce the footbed into the inventive sandal, the footbed is inserted after washing from behind into the front groove, so that the front locking element comes to rest in the groove. The footbed is then forced downwardly toward the outsole, with the rear detent member pressed into the aperture in the heel region of the mid and outsole.

Zum Herausnehmen des Fußbetts wird entsprechend zunächst das hintere Rastelement nach oben gedrückt, so dass es aus der Öffnung befreit wird. Wenn das Rastelement aus einem elastischen Material besteht und eine ringförmige Vergrößerung aufweist, entsteht bei einem leichten Druck auf das hintere Rastelement zunächst keine Veränderung. Mit zunehmendem Druck verbiegt sich die ringförmige Verbreiterung, so dass sie nicht mehr die Mittel- bzw. die Außensohle umschließt, sondern in die Öffnung hineingleitet. Wenn das hintere Rastelement keine ringförmige Verbreiterung aufweist, ist es lediglich formschlüssig gehalten und kann durch den Druck nach oben leicht aus der Öffnung befreit werden, da es nur durch die Reibung von Mittel-und Außensohle gehalten wird. Das Fußbett wird dann nach hinten gezogen, so dass auch das vordere Rastelement aus der Nut herausgeleitet wird.To remove the footbed, the rear detent element is first pushed upwards so that it is released from the opening. If the latching element consists of an elastic material and has an annular enlargement, initially no change occurs with a slight pressure on the rear latching element. With increasing pressure, the annular widening bends, so that it no longer surrounds the middle or the outsole, but in the opening slides into it. If the rear locking element has no annular widening, it is only held in a form-fitting manner and can be easily freed from the opening by the pressure upwards, since it is held only by the friction of the middle and outsole. The footbed is then pulled back, so that the front locking element is led out of the groove.
