DE4417563A1 - Football boot with additional grips on sole - Google Patents

Abstract

The football boot (10), in addition to the normal studs (12), has additional grip elements (14) at the edge of the sole (11) in the ball and toe regions. The additional elements are shorter than the studs and the surface areas of their free ends are individually and collectively smaller than the studs' respective individual and collective areas. They can be integral to the sole or detachable, and be conical or wedge shaped with their minimum cross sectional area at their free ends. The additional elements can be perpendicular or angled to the sole.

Description

The invention relates to a soccer shoe with a Sole, the gripping elements designed as studs or cams has detachably connected to the sole or in one piece can be permanently molded onto the sole.

The soles of previously known soccer shoes are regarding their gripping elements (studs or cams) are optimal for the following actions of a soccer player: running, fast acceleration and stopping as well as quick direction changes.

Extreme types of movement are meanwhile in the conception known soccer shoes are not taken into account. This is how z. B. a goalkeeper in the game, especially at low altitude balls flying at high speed, often forced to "pike" sideways or forward flat over the ground to to be able to fend off such balls. For this is a strong one Jump in a strong incline (or strong inclination to the front) required.

The same applies to field players, if they z. B. a so-called flight header when arriving at a low altitude Want to attach the ball.  

The well-known football is for such extreme movements shoes with their normal studs (or cams) only a little suitable. The sole or its normal gripping elements are capable only insufficient for the necessary support of the Care on the floor, so that an optimal push off not possible and thus the jumping ability of the player, e.g. B. of the goalkeeper. Often there is even Danger of slipping away in the last phase of the kick.

The object of the present invention is generally the suitability of soccer shoes for jumping and accelerating movements, also improve those from an extreme position.

According to the invention, the task with a soccer shoe the genus described at the outset solved in that on the soles edge, in the ball and toe area of the sole, further here lying on the outside than the lug-shaped or cam-shaped Gripping elements, additional gripping elements are arranged that a lower height than the lug-shaped or cam-shaped Have gripping elements.

The measures according to the invention improve the jumping and Accelerating ability of the player, by also at Ab jumps of the player in a steep incline (to the side or to the side front), d. H. with so-called "pike" optimal slip-proof Ensure the shoe is anchored and anchored in the ground.

Due to the design and arrangement of the invention additional gripping elements only come with the oblique push off to engage with the surface. A Be hindrance of the player, e.g. B. Goalkeeper, with the others (initially ) movements are not carried out. It also happens no obstacles in contact with the ball and in the shot, and it there is no additional risk to other players.

In an advantageous embodiment of the invention, it is proposed that that each individual additional gripping element has a smaller stand  surface has as each individual lug-shaped (or cams shaped) gripping element. The additional gripping elements should but, at least in its entirety, a smaller footprint have as the entirety of the stud-shaped (or cams shaped) gripping elements in the front sole area.

All of these measures ensure that the effect the "normal" gripping elements (studs, cams) are not hindered becomes. In particular, this ensures that the "normal" Gripping elements, regardless of the additional according to the invention Gripping elements that can penetrate into soft ground as well, as they do with normal soccer shoes (i.e. without do additional gripping elements).

Basically, it is quite conceivable or useful that the to additional gripping elements, preferably by means of screw threads are releasably connected to the sole. You could then - depending on Space - different additional gripping elements insert, replace worn additional gripping elements or optionally some or all of the additional gripping elements omitting.

For the sake of simpler and cost-saving production is, however, in an advantageous development of the invention integral molding of the additional gripping elements to the Sole material preferred.

According to an advantageous embodiment of the invention, before struck that the additional gripping elements wedge-shaped / long with a minimal cross-section at the free end (footprint) formed and parallel or substantially parallel to each lige point of the sole edge are arranged. The elongated Flanks of the additional gripping elements according to the invention give a particularly good penetration into the underground Grip.

Alternatively, the additional gripping elements can also conical with minimal cross-section at the free end (stand area). A conical geometry of the  Additional gripping elements has the advantage that it does not become one (unwanted) stiffening of the sole in the longitudinal direction can. The conical additional gripping elements have in particular especially then a very positive effect in the sense of the present the invention when - for example, on a hard pitch surface - not able to penetrate the subsurface significantly.

So it can be useful for soles for different Different geometries for additional purposes To provide gripping elements. For example, it can be beneficial be soles with screw studs that are in soft, deep place ratios are used with wedge-shaped / elongated to to equip additional gripping elements. This is opposed to soles with numerous fixed cams, mainly on hard courts are used, rather a configuration with conical additional gripping elements along the edge of the sole are useful his.

In a further advantageous embodiment of the invention, the additional gripping elements at regular intervals or in individual groups, here the lug-shaped gripping elements surrounded by a ring, on the inner edge of the sole, on the outer edge of the sole and arranged at the tip of the sole. Such an arrangement has yourself for the purposes of the invention (see above the task) proven to be optimal.

A special variant that meets the limited space at the edge of the sole, is characterized in that - Seen in the circumferential direction of the sole edge - in each case between two cleat-shaped gripping elements an additional gripping device element or a group of additional gripping elements arranged is.

Basically it will (for the reasons already explained above) be useful, additional gripping elements on the edge of the sole to provide one another in a uniform manner. To optimize the due to the special movement sequences (flat side pike or shallow pike forward) with simultaneous bowing  it can, however, consider subjective individual desires also prove to be useful, on the inner edge of the sole and on the sole Outer edge of each additional conical gripping elements and the sole tip is wedge-shaped / elongated additional gripping elements to arrange.

In general, the additional gripping elements should be vertical or essentially perpendicular to the sole surface (sub side of the sole). For special purposes, it can however, may also be advantageous and may be preferable, if the additional gripping elements, related to the sole edge, are each spread outward.

To put other players at risk and problems with Avoiding ball contact should, however, be the additional Gripping elements should only be spread out so far that they - seen in top view of the sole - overall still inside the sole periphery.

Further refinements and variants of the invention are known claims 11 and 15.

In the sense of the object on which the invention is based, a Football boot to be designed so that the jump and acceleration player's ability is improved, but also affects another measure according to the invention, which is distinguished by blowing up the ver in the manufacture of the shoe applied lasts, mainly relating to the arch of the sole and extends the heel portion of the sole such that an increase in the heel area of the sole compared to the Floor area results, and further in that - to compensate this heel rise - on the heel end of the sole a corresponding paragraph is arranged.

Special blasting of the shoe last to increase the Jumping and acceleration are known per se, but so far only for sprint, long jump and high jump shoes in athletics, but not in football shoes.  

The last blast known in athletics sports shoes is extreme, d. H. it's not just a very high one Heel explosion, but also around a very high toe blowing up. Such an extreme groin blast is for football not suitable for purposes. Especially with soccer shoes although there is basically a certain toe blasting, but not be very high so that the shot may not be affected by the player.

After all, the one inguinal blast differ Pointing well-known athletics shoes from the invention appropriate football boot also in that the latter Heel rise is offset by a heel at which known athletics shoes, however, not, at least not for short distance shoes.

In an advantageous embodiment of the invention in question it is proposed that the groin blast in Heel area about half that of athletics sport shoes heel explosion. In particular, can the inguinal blast here be chosen so that to compensate the resulting heel rise is a paragraph with a height up to 20 mm, preferably 5 to 15 mm, is required.

The heel located in the heel area of the sole can become extend over the entire heel area or - preferably (to save weight) - island-like on the heel side Gripping elements (cleats or cams) surrounding sole areas restrict.

The measures in question (groin blasting in the soles arch and heel area) increase the readiness to jump and the player's ability to accelerate by acting for a Ensure the Achilles' heel is preloaded. The last shape of a such special soccer shoes, especially the heels detonation of the last, shortened by the raised heel the Achilles tendon and thereby leaves the muscles faster react.  

In the drawing, embodiments of the invention are shown provided, which are explained in more detail below. It shows:

FIG. 1, the inclination of a soccer shoe according to the invention (viewed from the front) at the start of a union since jumping motion ( "sideways pike") of a goalkeeper,

Fig. 2, the inclination of a football shoe according to the invention (partial view, viewed from the side) at the beginning of a forward jumping movement ("forward pike") of the player concerned, z. B. gate wait,

Fig. 3 shows a comparison with the embodiment of Fig. 1 modified variant of a soccer shoe, in front view,

Fig. 4 considered the front portion of a soccer shoe sole, in plan view from below,

Fig. 5 shows another embodiment of a soccer shoe sole, in view corresponding to Fig. 4

Fig. 6 - in side view - form three different lasts for sports shoes, and

Fig. 7 - also in side view - an embodiment of a soccer shoe, for the manufacture of which a last according to the type shown in Fig. 6 in a solid line has been used.

In Fig. 1-3, 10 denotes the upper and 11 the sole of a soccer shoe, which is particularly well suited for goalkeepers. The sole 11 is equipped in the usual way with gripping elements 12 , which can be designed as screw studs or can be integrally connected to the sole 11 (so-called cam sole). Of course, the sole 11 , in addition to the two gripping elements 12 shown, can also have other similar gripping elements, but their representation has been omitted in FIGS . 1 to 3 for the sake of simplicity. At 13 , the surface of a sports field, for. B. grass field, figured.

In the embodiment of FIG. 1, additional gripping elements 14 are now arranged on both sides of the sole edge, such as. B. provided in the embodiment of FIG. 1, can be integrally formed on the sole 11 . The additional Greifele elements 14 have a lower height than the "normal" gripping elements 12 , so that they do not touch the field surface 13 in the normal position (horizontal position) of the shoe (see Fig. 3). In addition, the additional gripping elements 14 are tapered towards the free end, so that there is a comparatively small and narrow tread surface of the additional Greifele elements 14 , which in certain situations ( Fig. 1) allows easy penetration into the bottom 13 .

Such a special situation is e.g. B. given (and illustrated in Fig. ) When the player, e.g. B. Goalkeeper, dives flat to the side. In this case, he mainly finds the required hold in the ground by means of the additional gripping elements 14 to absorb the reaction forces caused by the strong jump. In order to achieve the desired effect, it should generally be sufficient if the additional gripping elements 14 are made approximately half as high as the "normal" gripping elements 12 .

Fig. 2 illustrates another, also typical situation: the goalkeeper must flat against an incoming ball (or opposing player), or a field player wants to attach a so-called flight header. This requires a strong jump forward, with the shoe assuming the position shown in FIG. 2. Fig. 2 shows that the shoe in this extreme position by the "normal" gripping elements 12 hardly finds any hold in the floor 13 . Remedy here are additional gripping elements, which are arranged at the front end of the sole and are designated 15 . These other additional gripping elements 15 should (as well as the side additional gripping elements 14 ) shorter a) s, the "normal" gripping elements 12 (z. B. about half as high as the latter), so that they are normal running and jumping movements are not a hindrance to the player.

However, if the shoe assumes the extreme position required for a shallow jump forward, as shown in FIG. 2, the player finds the desired support for the jump through the front additional gripping elements 15 .

With regard to the shape (strong taper towards the end, so that small and narrow tread surfaces and easy penetration into the floor 13 ), essentially the same applies to the front gripping elements 15 as for the additional lateral gripping elements 14 . In addition, however, there is another special feature of the front additional gripping elements 15 , which can be seen in FIG. 2: namely, the additional gripping elements 15 , starting from the sole surface, are bevelled from the front / top to the rear / bottom. This ensures that there is no obstruction to the player during normal running and shooting.

A further special feature and variant of the invention can be seen in FIG. 3. In this embodiment, additional gripping elements 16 are formed on the side of the sole, inside and outside, which are spread out comparatively wide, so that optimum grip is ensured with an extremely sideways-edged shoe ( FIG. 1). As a rule, however, it will suffice for the special concerns of a player if the additional gripping elements - e.g. B. 14 in Fig. 1 and 3 - are only spread out so far that they are still within the periphery formed by the sole edge.

The embodiment of Fig. 3 - with different width ge spreading additional gripping elements 14 , 16 - has the advantage, however, that the player then angles the shoe at different edging always an optimal and relatively uniform engagement effect of the additional gripping elements 14 , 16 be sure can.

Fig. 4 shows a possible grouping of "normal" Greifele elements 12 and additional gripping elements 14 and 15 on the underside of the soccer shoe sole 11 in question . There are four "normal" gripping elements 12 are provided in the front sole area, as is common practice. B. can be designed as screw studs. On the inner edge of the sole - 17 - a group of two additional gripping elements 14 is arranged between the two gripping elements 12 there. On the outer sole edge - 18 - the two gripping elements 12 there are arranged at a somewhat greater distance from one another than on the inner sole edge 17 , so that a group of a total of three additional gripping elements 14 can be accommodated.

Furthermore, two (beveled) additional gripping elements 15 are arranged at the tip of the sole 11, numbered 19 (cf. also FIG. 2).

The additional gripping elements 14 and 15 according to FIG. 4 are each characterized by a wedge-shaped / elongated shape, so that narrow and small contact surfaces - indicated by hatching in FIG. 4 and numbered 20 and 21 respectively - result.

In the variant according to FIG. 5, a different type of grouping and - partially - also a different type of design of the gripping elements inserted there is provided. First, a total of eight "normal" gripping elements 12 are arranged in the front sole area, which can be screw studs or inseparably connected to the sole 11 so-called cams. At the sole tip 19 , between the two foremost "normal" gripping elements 12 , in turn (similar to the embodiment according to FIG. 4), two wedge-shaped / elongated and beveled forward ( FIG. 2) additional gripping elements 15 are arranged. In the rear areas of the inner sole edge 17 and the outer sole edge 18, however , the additional gripping elements provided there and numbered 22 are , in contrast to the embodiment according to FIG. 4, conical. Here too, however, there are very small contact areas, which are indicated by hatching in FIG. 5 and denoted by 23 .

A further peculiarity of the variant of FIG. 5 is that - on the inner and on the outer sole edge 17 and 18 - in order to the circumferential direction of the sole 11 between two "normal" gripping elements 12, an additional gripping element 22 is arranged. Here too, the additional gripping elements 22 , like the additional gripping elements 14 according to FIG. 4, are arranged radially further outward, ie closer to the sole edge ( 17 , 18 ) than the "normal" gripping elements 12 .

Common to all the embodiments shown is that the additional union gripping elements 14 , 15 , 16 and 22 consistently have a lower height than the "normal" gripping elements 12 . The height of which is denoted by H in Fig. 2, while the height of the additional gripping elements 14 and 15 in Fig. 1 and Fig. 2 is marked with H 'marked.

In Fig. 6, the dash-dotted line shows a conventional soccer shoe last 24 , the sole surface 25 of which is essentially flat and level (parallel to the ground 26 ). A "detonation" is not provided in this last 24 either in the heel or in the toe area. (“Explosion” in the case of a last is to be understood as the height difference between the tip of the shoe or the heel and the ball of the foot (lowest point). In the case of a shoe produced using such a last 24 , the result is a flat foot position, as also in Sports shoes are common for long-distance runners.

The dashed line denotes a last 27 of a sprint or jumping shoe that athletes use who have to perform an unusual jumping or acceleration performance at very short notice. A very high "detonation" can be seen both in the toe area and in the heel area. In the heel area, the blasting is shown as an increase h 'of the heel relative to the floor 26. The last 27 brings the foot into a rolling position from the outset and shortens the Achilles tendon due to the raised heel. Both, ie "tip and heel detonation" make the muscles react quickly and thus enable the athlete to jump and accelerate for a short time. The last 27, however, is not suitable for shoes by athletes, such as soccer players, who have to do intensive mileage over a long period of time.

Finally, the solid line in FIG. 6 denotes a last 28 with the features of the invention. The last 28 has no heel in the toe region 29 , but an heel in the heel region 30 , which is illustrated by the distance h from the floor 26 . A comparison with the last 27 shows that the heel drop (h) in the last 28 according to the invention is only about half as large as in the last 27 (see the dimension h 'there). The last 28 according to the invention enables the production of a soccer shoe which allows the player to achieve an intensive mileage over 90 minutes (and longer), but at the same time also enables him to jump and accelerate.

An embodiment of such a soccer shoe according to the invention is shown in Fig. 7 and numbered 31 in total. Because of the heel blast h there is a need to provide a corresponding height (h) between the sole 32 and the cleat 33 , which is denoted by 34 in FIG. 7.

The shoulder 34 can be made of the same material as the (remaining) sole 32 and can accordingly be formed in one piece on the sole 32 . (A dividing line between sole 32 and paragraph 34 is therefore only indicated by dashed lines.)

The dimension h of the heel heel (= height of heel 34 ) can be up to approx. 20 mm as required, but should - preferably, - be within the range of 5 to 15 mm.
