Definitions

  • a safety shoe in which one Protective cap with an inward flange in the front shoe area under a lining and an insole connected to it.
  • At the the front end of the toe of the shoe bottom has a thickness of Flange with the corresponding lining, in which the flange of the protective cap is arranged.
  • the object of the invention is to overcome the disadvantages mentioned above avoid and a safety shoe of the type mentioned continue to develop that the toe space between the protective cap and the Insole, regardless of the load condition of the shoe and the Movement of the wearer is restricted as little as possible.
  • a safety shoe in its Toe a substantially dome-shaped protective cap and one Forefoot stiffening plate are arranged, the stiffening plate one Forms part of the shoe sole and is the ratio of the length of the Stiffening plate and the length of the shoe sole as well as the length of the Protective cap and the length of the stiffening plate is 0.3 to 0.7 each.
  • the pivot point of the drawer floor for example when the Wearer, is at the end of the shoe facing away from the Stiffening plate that extends significantly further towards the center of the shoe than the rear upper edge of the protective cap.
  • the space between the protective cap and the insole in the area of the rear upper edge of the The protective cap thus remains even when the wearer is crouching largely unchanged, because the bending radius of the shoe bottom through the arrangement and design of the stiffening plate is enlarged.
  • the ratio of the length of the stiffening plate and the Length of the shoe sole as well as the length of the protective cap and the length of the Stiffening plate 0.5 each.
  • the rear border of the protective cap can be on the toe of the shoe facing away from a cushion part, which in a substantially congruent designed protrusion of the protective cap is arranged, which itself extends upwards from the sole of the shoe.
  • the advantage here is that the upper limit of the toe area free of erratic Changes in direction and the space between the protective cap and the Not insole despite the cushion part at the rear upper end of the protective cap is reduced.
  • the protective cap and the stiffening plate preferably form one pre-assembled unit.
  • the stiffening plate in Forefoot area is arranged inside or outside the protective cap.
  • the Pre-assembled unit is preferred through a positive connection reached between protective cap and stiffening plate.
  • the toe cap can - viewed in longitudinal section - from the toe of the shoe a constantly increasing distance to the rear boundary Have shoe sole. This configuration also contributes significantly Solution of the task at.
  • the free height between the inside of the Protective cap and the insole is therefore also with a curved shoe sole essentially constant and an undesirable touch of the rear top edge of the protective cap with your foot in the area of the toe roots locked out.
  • the Shoe sole includes an insole that extends into the protective cap and is connected to the protective cap by means of the stiffening plate. Since the Protective cap the pressure on the base of the shoe sole transmits, this must be firmly connected to the protective cap.
  • the insole is preferably non-positive with the preassembled unit consisting of Protective cap and stiffening plate connected, the protective cap and the stiffening plate, for example by a snap-on connection are fixed to each other.
  • the stiffening plate can - viewed in plan view - essentially be crescent-shaped. This will make the Safety shoe increases without losing the benefits in terms of Freedom of movement of the foot would be restricted. It is also through the crescent shape of the stiffening plate is advantageous that the Stiffness change gradually from the toe to the rear. The Stiffness decreases smoothly from the forefoot area towards the heel.
  • the stiffening plate can preferably have an edge in the area of the protective cap have with a circumferentially extending recess in which congruently designed, inward flanging of the edge of the Protective cap is arranged.
  • the flanging is preferably essentially arranged flush in the recess.
  • the ratio of the thickness of the stiffening plate and the thickness of the The insole is essentially one.
  • the advantage here is that also Safety shoes with comparatively thin soles are the most advantageous Have usage properties of the claimed safety shoe.
  • the Thickness of the insole and the thickness of the stiffening plate in the area outside the recesses is preferably 2.5 mm, for example.
  • the stiffening plate preferably consists of a polymeric material. It is advantageous that the stiffening plate, for example, in the hot-melt process through a hot melt adhesive with adjacent components can be connected.
  • the rear edge of the stiffening plate facing away from the tip of the shoe can have a chamfer on the side facing away from the insole. hereby there is a continuous transition from the stiffening plate to Insole.
  • the advantage here is that no undesirably high Notch effects occur in the area of the shoe sole and the risk of breakage The sole of the shoe is reduced to a minimum.
  • the Chamfer avoided that the contours of the stiffening plate on the Press off the insole and the wearing comfort is reduced.
  • the safety shoe according to the invention it is advantageous that at kneeling and crouching work, such as laying tiles that rear upper edge 8 of the protective cap 2 by the large bending radius Bend line of the shoe sole 4 does not press into the toe roots. Pressure points and This causes bruises and also partial skin injuries locked out.
  • the design of the safety shoe will Volume in the toe area compared to safety shoes from a standing start the technology significantly increased, so that the foot even with flexion (flexion) of the Toes, which is generally between 30 ° and 35 ° to the horizontal, does not come into contact with the protective cap 2.
  • Figure 1 an embodiment of the entire safety shoe is shown.
  • the toe 1 is in the essentially by the dome-shaped protective cap 2, the insole 12 and the forefoot stiffening plate 3 is formed, with the protective cap 2 from the shaft 19 is enclosed, which is connected to the outsole 20.
  • the arrangement of the stiffening plate 3 in the shoe sole 4th and their assignment to protective cap 2 of crucial importance is about 0.5.
  • the rear limit 8 of the protective cap 2 is with provided with a cushion part 9 in order to also at a bending angle of for example, to avoid more than 60 ° injuries to the toe roots.
  • the cushion part 9 is partially in the example shown here with the rear Boundary 8 connected, for example glued.
  • the angle between the front boundary 21 and the upper boundary 22 of the protective cap 2 is in any case more than 90 ° in order to have a larger free space for the foot to reach.
  • the geometric dimensions are enlarged Excerpt from Figure 1 shown.
  • Figure 2 is the forefoot area of a shoe shown, the protective cap 2 and the insole 12 by means of Stiffening plate 3 are interconnected.
  • the ratio of the length 5 of the stiffening plate 3 and the length 6 of the shoe sole 4 and the length 7 of the protective cap 2 and the length 5 of the stiffening plate 3 is here embodiment shown each about 0.5.
  • the stiffening plate 3 is on the side facing the protective cap 2 with a circumferential direction extending recess 13 provided in the congruent designed after internally directed, flange-shaped flange 14 of the edge of the protective cap 2 is arranged.
  • this corresponds to Thickness 16 of the insole 12, the thickness 15 of the stiffening plate 3 and each about 2.5 mm.
  • the stiffening plate 3 is in the region of the recess 13 in contrast, only 1.5 mm thick.
  • the flange 14 is essentially arranged flush with the surface in the recess 13.
  • On the protective cap 2 facing away from the stiffening plate 3 is provided with a chamfer 18 to get a gradual transition to the insole 12.
  • FIG. 3 shows a top view of the stiffening plate 3 from FIG. 2.
  • the length 5 of the stiffening plate 3 corresponds approximately to half the length 6 of the Shoe sole 4.
  • the recess 13 is arranged, on the other hand, on the rear edge 17 of the stiffening plate 3, the chamfer 18.
