A reinforcement element (12) is provided for forming an inner sole which is arranged at the outer sole, and is fastened to a turned away upper-lateral surface (44) of the central sole.

Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft ein Gehgerät gemäss dem Oberbegriff des Patentanspruchs 1.The present invention relates to a walking device according to the preamble of patent claim 1.

Gehgeräte dieser Art sind unter dem Namen Masai Barefoot Technology, kurz MBT genannt, und auch unter dem Label Swiss Masai bekannt. Kennzeichnend für die MBT-Gehgeräte ist eine konvex in Laufrichtung abgerundete Solenform mit einem in eine Ausnehmung einer Mittelsohle eingefügten Fersenweichteil, dem sogenannten "Masai-Sensor". Die Mittelsohle weist ein in sie integriertes Verstärkungselement - "Shank" genannt - auf, welches die Mittelsohle derart verstärkt, dass sie auch in ihrem oberhalb des Fersenweichteils befindenden Abschnitt im wesentlichen biegesteif ist. Bedingt durch die dadurch absichtlich weich und destabilisierend gemachte Schuhbodenkonstruktion des MBT-Gehgeräts, verliert der Fuss den für die physiologische Fortbewegung kennzeichnenden Halt und Stütze. Dies wirkt sich auf grössere Teile der Halte- und Stützmuskulatur aus, weil der Körper jetzt aktiv im Gleichgewicht gehalten werden muss. Aufgrund dieser ständig erforderlichen minimalen Ausgleichsbewegungen und Anspannungen der Fussmuskulatur auf der Suche nach einem sicheren Stand, wird durch das Tragen von MBT-Schuhen eine Art permanentes sensomotorisches Training absolviert und werden zusätzliche Teile der Skelettmuskulatur beansprucht. Insbesondere werden vernachlässigte Muskeln trainiert, die Haltung und das Gangbild verbessert sowie der Körper gestrafft und geformt. Weiter kann das Tragen von MBT-Schuhen bei Rücken-, Hüft-, Bein- oder Fussbeschwerden, bei Gelenk-, Muskel-, Bänder- oder Sehnenverletzungen helfen sowie Hüft- und Kniegelenke entlasten. Die bekannten Schuhböden der MBT-Schuhe weisen eine erhebliche Dicke auf.Walkers of this type are known under the name Masai Barefoot Technology, MBT for short, and also under the label Swiss Masai. Characteristic of the MBT walkers is a convex rounded in the direction of brine form with a inserted into a recess of a midsole heel soft part, the so-called "Masai sensor". The midsole has a reinforcing element integrated therein - called a "shank" - which reinforces the midsole so that it is also substantially rigid in its portion located above the heel area. Due to the deliberately soft and destabilizing shoe bottom construction of the MBT walker, the foot loses the characteristic of the physiological locomotion support and support. This affects larger parts of the support and support muscles because the body must now be actively kept in balance. Due to this constant minimum balancing and tension of the foot muscles in search of a secure footing, the wearing of MBT shoes is a kind of permanent sensorimotor training completed and additional parts of the skeletal muscles are claimed. In particular, neglected muscles are trained, the posture and gait are improved, and the body is toned and shaped. Furthermore, the wearing of MBT shoes for back, hip, leg or foot complaints, Help with joint, muscle, ligament or tendon injuries and relieve hip and knee joints. The known shoe bottoms of the MBT shoes have a considerable thickness.

Es ist eine Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung, ein gattungsgemässes Gehgerät mit einem Schuhboden geringerer Dicke zu schaffen, welches weiterhin die bekannten Eigenschaften des gattungsgemässen Gehgeräts aufweist.It is an object of the present invention to provide a generic walker with a shoe bottom lesser thickness, which further has the known characteristics of the generic walker.

Diese Aufgabe wird mit einem Gehgerät gelöst, welches die Merkmale des Patentanspruchs 1 aufweist.This object is achieved with a walker having the features of claim 1.

Erfindungsgemäss ist das Verstärkungselement nicht mehr in die Mittelsohle integriert sondern als separates Bauteil hergestellt und dann an der Mittelsohle, beispielsweise durch Verkleben, befestigt. Beim erfindungsgemässen Gehgerät bildet somit das Verstärkungselement eine Brandsohle.According to the invention, the reinforcing element is no longer integrated into the midsole but manufactured as a separate component and then attached to the midsole, for example by gluing. In the case of the walking device according to the invention, the reinforcing element thus forms an insole.

Bei den bekannten gattungsgemässen Gehgeräten weist das Verstärkungselement im Fersenbereich und Mittelfussbereich eine Dicke von ca. 6 mm auf und ist das Verstärkungselement oben als auch unten vom Material der Mittelsohle überdeckt. Die oben liegende Überdeckung der Mittelsohle, auf welcher gegebenenfalls eine dünne Decksohle angeordnet sein kann, bildet das Fussbett. Im Gegensatz dazu weist das erfindungsgemässe Gehgerät oberhalb des Verstärkungselements keine Überdeckung durch Material der Mittelsohle auf und bildet vorzugsweise das Verstärkungselement, auf welchem gegebenenfalls eine dünne Decksohle angeordnet sein kann, das Fussbett. Überdies lässt sich das Verstärkungselement, insbesondere bereichsweise, dünner ausbilden. Dies führt insgesamt zu einem Gehgerät mit einem Schuhboden geringerer Höhe.In the known generic walkers, the reinforcing element in the heel and midfoot region has a thickness of about 6 mm and the reinforcing element is covered at the top and bottom of the material of the midsole. The upper covering of the midsole, on which optionally a thin insole may be arranged, forms the footbed. In contrast, the walker according to the invention above the reinforcing element no overlap by material of the midsole and preferably forms the reinforcing element, on which optionally a thin insole can be arranged, the footbed. Moreover, the reinforcing element, in particular regions, can be made thinner. Overall, this leads to a walker with a shoe lower height.

In bevorzugter Weise ist der Schaft des Gehgeräts am Verstärkungselement befestigt. Dies ermöglicht die Herstellung des Schafts zusammen mit dem Verstärkungselement als Baueinheit, welche dann mit dem Schuhboden verbunden wird.Preferably, the shaft of the walker is attached to the reinforcing element. This allows the production of the shaft together with the reinforcing element as a structural unit, which is then connected to the shoe bottom.

Bei diesem Verbinden ist es möglich, nur das Verstärkungselement direkt an der Mittelsohle zu befestigen, vorteilhafterweise wird jedoch dabei auch der Schaft direkt an der Mittelsohle befestigt.In this connection, it is possible to attach only the reinforcing element directly to the midsole, but advantageously also the shaft is attached directly to the midsole.

Eine besonders einfache Herstellung des erfindungsgemässen Gehgeräts wird dadurch erzielt, dass das Verstärkungselement die oberseitige Oberfläche der Mittelsohle wenigstens annähernd vollständig überdeckt.A particularly simple production of the inventive walker is achieved in that the reinforcing element covers the top surface of the midsole at least approximately completely.

Durch die Ausbildung von wenigstens einer Verstärkungsrippe am Verstärkungselement kann dieses in den übrigen Bereichen sehr dünnwandig ausgebildet werden, ohne dabei die Eigenstabilität und die Biegesteifigkeit zu verlieren.As a result of the formation of at least one reinforcing rib on the reinforcing element, it can be designed to be very thin-walled in the remaining regions, without losing the intrinsic stability and the bending stiffness.

Weitere bevorzugte Ausbildungsformen des erfindungsgemässen Gehgeräts sind in den weiteren abhängigen Patentansprüchen definiert.Further preferred embodiments of the inventive walking device are defined in the further dependent claims.

Dieser, zusammen mit dem Verstärkungselement 12, sind am Schuhboden 10, beispielsweise durch Verkleben, befestigt.The embodiment shown in the drawing of an inventive walker has a in the Fig. 1 to 9 Shoe bottom 10 shown, a reinforcing element 12 according to the 10 to 12 and a well-known shaft 14, as in Fig. 13 is indicated. The reinforcing element 14 forms an insole, to which the shaft 14 is attached in a known manner. This, together with the reinforcing element 12, are attached to the shoe bottom 10, for example by gluing.

Der Schuhboden 10 weist eine Mittelsohle 16, ein in einer Ausnehmung 18 der Mittelsohle 16 angeordnetes Fersenweichteil 20 und eine Laufsohle 22 auf. Die Laufsohle 22 weist - im unbelasteten Zustand - vom hinteren Schuhbodenende 24 bis zum in Laufrichtung L vorderen Schuhbodenende 26 eine konvex in Laufrichtung L kontinuierlich abgerundete Form auf. Sie ist von der Mittelsohle 16 und dem Fersenweichteil 20 in dieser Form gehalten. Diese Form ist für Schuhböden 10 von MBT-Schuhen (MBT ist eine eingetragene Marke der Masai Marketing und Trading AG, Romanshorn) typisch und beispielsweise auch in WO 01/15560 offenbart.The shoe bottom 10 has a midsole 16, a heel piece 20 disposed in a recess 18 of the midsole 16, and an outsole 22. The outsole 22 has - in the unloaded state - from the rear shoe bottom end 24 to the front in the direction L shoe bottom 26 a convex in the direction of L continuously rounded shape. It is held by the midsole 16 and the soft heel part 20 in this form. This shape is typical for shoe bottoms 10 of MBT shoes (MBT is a registered trademark of Masai Marketing and Trading AG, Romanshorn) and, for example, also in WO 01/15560 disclosed.

Die Laufsohle 22 ist vorzugsweise aus einem abriebfesten gummielastischen Material hergestellt. Ihre konvexe Form weist in einem, in Schuhlängsrichtung L gesehen, hinten liegenden Fersenbereich 30 einen Krümmungsradius von etwa 160mm auf. In einem, in Laufrichtung L, an den Fersenbereich 30 anschliessenden Mittelfussbereich 32 ist die Krümmung der Laufsohle 22 geringer und weist einen Krümmungsradius von etwa 280mm auf. In einem, in Laufrichtung L, vorne angeordneten, an den Mittelfussbereich 32 anschliessenden Ballen- und Zehenbereich 34 ist der Krümmungsradius, bis wenigstens annähernd zum vorderen Schuhbodenende 26 hin, etwas grösser als im Mittelfussbereich 32 und beträgt etwa 390mm. Die oben angegebenen Daten und weiter unten angegebenen Dicken betreffen ein Gehgerät der Grösse EUR 37. Sie können sich entsprechend der Grösse des Gehgeräts ändern, wobei vorzugsweise das Verhältnis der genannten Krümmungsradien von ca. 1:1,75:2,44 etwa erhalten bleibt. In bevorzugter Weise weist die Krümmung der Laufsohle im Fersenbereich einen Radius von etwa 150mm bis 200mm, im Mittelfussbereich von etwa 250mm bis 350mm und im Ballenzehenbereich von etwa 350mm bis 480mm auf. Der Fersenbereich 30, Mittelfussbereich 32 sowie Ballen- und Zehenbereich 34 erstrecken sich etwa je über einen Drittel der Länge des Schuhbodens 10. Die Mittelsohle 16 erstreckt sich ununterbrochen über diese Bereiche.The outsole 22 is preferably made of an abrasion-resistant rubber-elastic material. Its convex shape has a radius of curvature of about 160 mm in a rear region of the heel 30 seen in the shoe longitudinal direction L. In one, in the direction of L, to the heel region 30 subsequent midfoot region 32, the curvature of the outsole 22 is lower and has a radius of curvature of about 280mm. In a, in the direction of L, arranged at the front, to the midfoot region 32 subsequent bale and toe 34 is the radius of curvature, to at least approximately to the front shoe bottom end 26, slightly larger than in the midfoot region 32 and is about 390mm. The data given above and the thicknesses given below relate to a walker of size EUR 37. They may vary according to the size of the walker, with preferably the ratio of said radii of curvature of approximately 1: 1.75: 2.44 being maintained. Preferably, the curvature of the outsole in the heel region has a radius of about 150mm to 200mm, in the midfoot region of about 250mm to 350mm, and in the ball toe region of about 350mm to 480mm. The heel region 30, midfoot region 32 and the ball and toe region 34 each extend approximately one third of the length of the shoe bottom 10. The midsole 16 extends uninterruptedly over these regions.

Das Fersenweichteil 20 weist in Ansicht, wie dies insbesondere aus den Fig. 1, 3, 5 und 6 hervorgeht, einen im Wesentlichen konvex-konvex-linsenförmigen Querschnitt auf, welcher in Richtung quer zur Laufrichtung L von der Innenseite 42 zur Aussenseite 40 des Schuhbodens 10 mit wenigstens annähernd gleich bleibendem Querschnitt verläuft. Es ist vorzugsweise aus einem offenporigen Polyurethan-Elastomer-Schaum hergestellt und bezüglich den übrigen Teilen des Schuhbodens 10 weich ausgebildet. Wie dies den Fig. 4 und 7 entnehmbar ist, ist das Fersenweichteil 20 an seiner an die Laufsohle 22 anschliessenden Unterseite 36 - quer zur Laufrichtung L - breiter ausgebildet, als an seiner der Mittelsohle 16 zugewandten Oberseite 38. Sowohl auf der Aussenseite 40 als auch Innenseite 42 des Schuhbodens 10 sind die Seitenwände 43 des Fersenweichteils 20 konvex geformt. Diese Ausführungsform des Fersenweichteils 20 vermittelt eine etwas bessere Querstabilität als bei einer Ausführungsform mit gleich breiter Unterseite 36 und Oberseite 38 des Fersenweichteils 20, insbesondere wenn die Laufsohle 22 im Mittelfussbereich 42 tailliert ausgebildet ist.The heel piece 20 has in view, as shown in particular from Fig. 1, 3rd . 5 and 6 shows a substantially convex-convex-lenticular cross-section which extends in the direction transverse to the direction L from the inner side 42 to the outer side 40 of the shoe bottom 10 with at least approximately constant cross-section. It is preferably made of an open-pored polyurethane elastomer foam and soft with respect to the other parts of the shoe bottom 10. Like this Fig. 4 and 7 can be removed, the heel piece 20 is at its subsequent to the outsole 22 underside 36 - formed transversely to the direction L - wider than at its midsole 16 facing top 38. Both on the outside 40 and inside 42 of the shoe bottom 10, the side walls 43 of the soft heel part 20 convex. This embodiment of the soft heel part 20 conveys a slightly better lateral stability than in an embodiment with the same width underside 36 and upper side 38 of the soft heel part 20, in particular when the outsole 22 is formed waisted in the midfoot region 42.

Weiter ist in bevorzugter Weise, wie dies insbesondere der Fig. 7 entnehmbar ist, die Dicke des Fersenweichteils 20 auf der Aussenseite 40 kleiner als auf der Innenseite 42, sodass im Fersenbereich 30 die Laufsohle 22 eine entsprechend diagonale Verwindung aufweist.Next is in a preferred manner, as in particular the Fig. 7 can be removed, the thickness of the soft heel part 20 on the outside 40 smaller than on the inside 42, so that in the heel area 30, the outsole 22 has a corresponding diagonal twisting.

Das Fersenweichteil 20 füllt die Ausnehmung 18 zwischen der Mittelsohle 16 und der Laufsohle 22 vollständig aus und erstreckt sich von annähernd dem hinteren Schuhbodenende 24, in Laufrichtung L, über den Fersenbereich 30 bis annähernd zur Mitte des Schuhbodens 10. In seinem Mittelbereich weist das Fersenweichteil 10 eine Dicke von etwa 20mm auf.The heel piece 20 completely fills the recess 18 between the midsole 16 and the outsole 22 and extends from approximately the back of the shoe bottom 24, in the direction L, over the heel portion 30 to approximately the middle of the shoe bottom 10. In its midregion, the heel piece 10 has a thickness of about 20mm.

Die Mittelsohle 16 ist als vorzugsweise homogener Körper ohne Verstärkungselement 12 ausgebildet und beispielsweise aus einem Polyurethan-Elastomer-Schaum oder einem Ethylenvinylacetat (EVA) hergestellt. Ihre oberseitige Oberfläche 44 hat die Form ähnlich eines Fussbetts, ist jedoch mit einer, in Laufrichtung L sich erstreckenden Vertiefung 46 versehen. Diese weist die grösste Tiefe im Mittelfussbereich 32 auf und erstreckt sich, mit geringer werdenden, auslaufender Tiefe, um etwa 2/3 in den Fersenbereich 30 hinein und verläuft mit rascher abnehmender Tiefe in den hinteren Endbereich des Ballen- und Zehenbereichs 34 hinein.The midsole 16 is formed as a preferably homogeneous body without reinforcing element 12 and made for example of a polyurethane elastomer foam or an ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA). Its top surface 44 has the shape similar to a footbed, but is provided with a recess 46 extending in the direction L. This has the greatest depth in the midfoot region 32 and extends, with decreasing, expiring depth, about 2/3 into the heel region 30 and extends with decreasing depth into the rear end region of the ball and toe region 34.

Die geringste Dicke der Mittelsohle 16, gemessen zwischen dem Fersenweichteil 20 und der oberseitigen Oberfläche 44 ist sehr gering und beträgt beispielsweise ca. 1 mm. Die Mittelsohle 16 selber ist somit in ihrem oberhalb der Ausnehmung 18 liegenden Abschnitt 47, mit sehr geringer Eigenstabilität, sehr biegsam ausgebildet.The minimum thickness of the midsole 16 measured between the heel piece 20 and the top surface 44 is very small and is for example about 1 mm. The midsole 16 itself is thus very flexible in its portion 47 located above the recess 18, with very little intrinsic stability.

Beim in Laufrichtung L vorne liegenden Ende der Ausnehmung 18 bildet die Mittelsohle 16 ein quer, vorzugsweise wenigstens annähernd rechtwinklig zur Laufrichtung L verlaufende Kippkante 48. In diesem Bereich weist die Mittelsohle 16 die grösste Dicke von etwa 29mm auf und ist dort wesentlich biegesteifer als im Mittelbereich der Ausnehmung 18; vergleiche dazu Fig. 7 und 8, welche auch den Querschnitt der Vertiefung 46 zeigen.When lying in the direction L end of the recess 18, the midsole 16 forms a transversely, preferably at least approximately perpendicular to the running direction L extending tilting edge 48. In this area, the midsole 16 has the largest thickness of about 29mm and there is much more rigid than in the central region the recess 18; compare to this FIGS. 7 and 8 which also show the cross section of the recess 46.

Die Mittelsohle 16 ist härter ausgebildet als das Fersenweichteil 20, welches beim Auftreten und Stehen somit stark verformt wird und Schläge aufnimmt und dämpft. Beim Abrollen ergibt sich dann das für diese Art Gehgeräte bekannte Abkippen über die Kippkante 48.The midsole 16 is harder than the soft heel part 20, which is thus greatly deformed upon occurrence and standing and absorbs and absorbs shocks. When rolling then results for this type of walker known tipping over the tilting edge 48th

Der Vollständigkeit halber sei erwähnt, dass die Mittelsohle 16 einen umlaufenden, gegen oben gerichteten Kragen 50, aufweist, welcher der Verbindung mit dem Schaft 14 dient.For the sake of completeness, it should be mentioned that the midsole 16 has a peripheral, upwardly directed collar 50, which serves to connect to the shaft 14.

Wie dies insbesondere aus den Fig. 7 bis 9 hervorgeht, ist die Breite des mit dem Boden 52 zusammenwirkenden Bereichs der Laufsohle 22 und somit auch des daran anschliessenden, untenliegenden Teils der Mittelsohle 16 im in Laufrichtung L vorne liegenden Endbereich der Ausnehmung 18 und etwa in der Mitte des Schuhbodens 10 wesentlich geringer als in etwa der Mitte des Fersenbereichs (Fig. 7) und des Ballen- und Zehenbereichs 34 (Fig. 9). Der Schuhboden 10 ist tailliert ausgebildet.As this particular from the Fig. 7 to 9 shows, the width of the cooperating with the bottom 52 area of the outsole 22 and thus also adjoining, underlying part of the midsole 16 in the direction L forward lying end portion of the recess 18 and approximately in the middle of the shoe bottom 10 is substantially less than approximately the middle of the heel area ( Fig. 7 ) and the ball and toe area 34 (FIG. Fig. 9 ). The shoe bottom 10 is formed waisted.

Das in den Fig. 10 bis 12 gezeigte Verstärkungselement 12 ist beispielsweise aus einer Mischung von thermoplastischem Polyurethan-Elastomer (TPU) und Glasfasern hergestellt und im Mittelfussbereich 32 sowie in dem Fersenbereich 30 hinein derart biegesteif ausgebildet, dass es sich unter Belastung beim Stehen und Gehen nur gering verbiegen kann. Dazu weist es im Mittelfussbereich 32 und Fersenbereich 30 eine gegengleich der Vertiefung 46 der Mittelsohle 16 geformte, in Richtung gegen unten vorstehende Verstärkungsrippe 54 auf; dies ist auch der Fig. 8 entnehmbar, in welcher das Verstärkungselement 12 mit einer gestrichelten Linie angedeutet ist.That in the 10 to 12 shown reinforcing element 12 is made for example of a mixture of thermoplastic polyurethane elastomer (TPU) and glass fibers and formed in the midfoot region 32 and in the heel region 30 in such a rigid that it can bend only slightly under load when standing and walking. For this purpose, in the midfoot region 32 and the heel region 30, a reinforcing rib 54 which projects in the opposite direction to the depression 46 of the midsole 16 and projects in the downward direction is provided. this is also the Fig. 8 removed, in which the reinforcing element 12 is indicated by a dashed line.

Im Ballen- und Zehenbereich 34, insbesondere etwa in der in Laufrichtung L vorderen Hälfte dieses Bereichs, ist das Verstärkungselement 12 biegbar ausgebildet. Es weist hier keine Verstärkungsrippe 54 auf und kann, beispielsweise durch die Verwendung einer weicheren, elastischeren Materialkomponente, biegsamer ausgebildet sein. Zur Herstellung eines derartigen Verstärkungselements 12 bietet sich das Zwei- oder Mehrkomponentenspritzgiessverfahren an. Wie dies in der Fig. 10 mit der Linie 56 angedeutet ist, wird der Teil des Verstärkungselements 12 mit der Verstärkungsrippe 54 aus einer Hartkomponente 58 gespritzt und anschliessend wird eine Weichkomponente 60 angespritzt; es ist auch denkbar, diese Reihenfolge umzukehren. Bei der Hartkomponente 58 und Weichkomponente 60 handelt es sich um affine Kunststoffe, welche sich im Spritzgiessen miteinander äusserst stabil verbinden. Als Hartkomponente 58 und Weichkomponente 60 eignen sich insbesondere eine Mischung von thermoplastischem Polyurethan-Elastomer (TPU) und Glasfasern beziehungsweise thermoplastisches Polyurethan-Elastomer (TPU).In the ball and toe region 34, in particular approximately in the front half of this region in the running direction L, the reinforcing element 12 is designed to be bendable. It has no reinforcing rib 54 here and can be made more flexible, for example by using a softer, more elastic material component. For producing such a reinforcing element 12, the two-component or multi-component injection molding process is suitable. Like this in the Fig. 10 is indicated by the line 56, the part of the reinforcing element 12 is injected with the reinforcing rib 54 of a hard component 58 and then a soft component 60 is injected; it is also possible to reverse this order. The hard component 58 and soft component 60 are affine plastics which bond together extremely stably in injection molding. As hard component 58 and soft component 60 are particularly suitable a mixture of thermoplastic polyurethane elastomer (TPU) and glass fibers or thermoplastic polyurethane elastomer (TPU).

Das Verstärkungselement 12 erstreckt sich über die gesamte oberseitige Oberfläche 44 der Mittelsohle 16 bis zum umlaufenden Kragen 50 hin, wobei zwischen diesem und dem Verstärkungselement 12 nur ein schmaler, umlaufender Spalt für das Material des Schafts 14 frei bleibt, vergleiche Fig. 13. In bevorzugter Weise weist das Verstärkungselement 12 auf seiner Unterseite 61 eine entlang seines Randes verlaufende Randausnehmung 62 auf. Diese dient der Aufnahme und Befestigung des Materials des Oberschafts 64 und Futterschafts 66.The reinforcing element 12 extends over the entire top surface 44 of the midsole 16 to the circumferential collar 50, between which and the reinforcing element 12 only a narrow, circumferential gap for the material of the shaft 14 remains free, see Fig. 13 , Preferably, the reinforcing element 12 has on its underside 61 an edge recess 62 extending along its edge. This serves to receive and attach the material of the upper 64 and feed 66.

In bekannter Art und Weise wird der Schaft 14 hergestellt und dann dessen Schaftrand 68 durch Verkleben in der Randausnehmung 62 mit dem Verstärkungselement 12 fest verbunden. Anschliessend wird die Baueinheit Schaft 14 und Verstärkungselement 12 zwischen dem Kragen 50 an die oberseitige Oberfläche 44 der Mittelsohle 16 angelegt und mit dieser vollflächig, inklusive dem Kragen 50, verklebt.In a known manner, the shank 14 is produced and then its shank edge 68 firmly connected by gluing in the edge recess 62 with the reinforcing element 12. Subsequently, the assembly of shank 14 and reinforcing element 12 between the collar 50 is applied to the upper-side surface 44 of the midsole 16 and adhered to the entire surface, including the collar 50.

Das Verstärkungselement 14 bildet das Fussbett; allenfalls ist auf ihm noch eine dünne Decksohle befestigt. Das Verstärkungselement 12 vermittelt dem Gehgerät, insbesondere im Mittelfussbereich 32 und Fersenbereich 30, die Stabilität, damit das Gehgerät an sich die in Folge des Fersenweichteils absichtlich weichen und destabilisierenden Eigenschaften aufweist.The reinforcing element 14 forms the footbed; if necessary, a thin insole is still attached to it. The reinforcing element 12 imparts stability to the walker, in particular in the midfoot region 32 and the heel region 30, so that the walker device inherently has the soft and destabilizing properties intentionally due to the soft heel part.

Das Fersenweichteil 20 kann aus demselben Material, wie die Mittelsohle 16 oder einem Material mit ähnlichen Eigenschaften, ausgeführt sein, wobei die weichelastischen Eigenschaften durch Hohlräume, beziehungsweise Ausnehmungen, erzielbar sind. Das Fersenweichteil 20 ist bei Belastung durch Stehen und Gehen stark deformierbar; Schläge werden dadurch gedämpft und sowohl beim Gehen als auch beim Stehen wird insbesondere die Skelettmuskulatur infolge der Instabilität des Fersenbereichs 30 beansprucht und trainiert.The soft heel part 20 may be made of the same material as the midsole 16 or a material having similar properties, wherein the soft elastic properties by cavities, or recesses, can be achieved. The soft heel part 20 is greatly deformed under load from standing and walking; Shocks are thereby dampened and both when walking as Even when standing, the skeletal muscles in particular are stressed and trained as a result of the instability of the heel area 30.

Das Verstärkungselement 12 kann anstelle von einer einzigen Verstärkungsrippe 54 mehrere Verstärkungsrippen aufweisen, welche wenigstens annähernd parallel in Laufrichtung L verlaufen; es ist auch denkbar, dass mehrere sich kreuzende Rippen vorgesehen werden.The reinforcing element 12 may have, instead of a single reinforcing rib 54, a plurality of reinforcing ribs which extend at least approximately parallel in the running direction L; It is also conceivable that several intersecting ribs are provided.

Der Vollständigkeit halber sei erwähnt, dass es denkbar ist, den Schaft 14 nur mit dem Verstärkungselement 12 zu verbinden und nur dieses direkt am Schuhboden 10 zu befestigen.For the sake of completeness it should be mentioned that it is conceivable to connect the shank 14 only to the reinforcing element 12 and only to fix this directly to the shoe bottom 10.
