The top covering layer has a cover of material sensitive to the skin, such as leather, patent leather, plastic etc.

Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf eine orthopädische Schuheinlage mit einer Oberdeckschicht und einer Unterdeckschicht, welche Deckschichten einen Stützkern einschließen, wobei die Oberdeckschicht und die Unterdeckschicht mit einem Randbereich den Stützkern überragen und in dem Randbereich miteinander verbunden sind.The invention relates to an orthopedic shoe insert with a Upper cover layer and a lower cover layer, which cover layers one Include support core, with the top and bottom layers project over the support core in an edge region and with one another in the edge region are connected.

Eine derartige Schuheinlage ist aus der DE-PS 44 37 282 bekannt. Gemäß dieser Druckschrift verläuft die Herstellung der bekannten Schuheinlage derart, daß als Vorschnitte bezeichnete Deckschichten zusammen mit einem den Stützkern bildenden Formteil vorgeheizt werden, und zwar vorzugsweise klebstofffrei, wonach diese Teile zusammengefügt werden. Die untere Deckschicht wird daher vorzugsweise mit Klebstoff versehen. Eine andere Methode der Verbindung der beiden Deckschichten ist in der Druckschrift nicht erwähnt.Such a shoe insert is known from DE-PS 44 37 282. According to this Publication runs the production of the known shoe insert such that as Pre-cuts designated cover layers together with a support core forming molded part are preheated, preferably adhesive-free, after which these parts are put together. The bottom cover layer is therefore preferably provided with adhesive. Another method of connecting the the top layer is not mentioned in the document.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, die Schuheinlage so zu gestalten, daß sie sich mit einem wesentlich vereinfachten Verfahren herstellen läßt und dabei eine besondere innere Stabilität erhält. Erfindungsgemäß geschieht dies dadurch, daß sowohl die Oberdeckschicht und die Unterdeckschicht als auch der Stützkern aus einem thermoplastischen Material bestehen, wobei der Schmelzpunkt der drei Bestandteile der Schuheinlage, Stützkern und Ober- und Unterdeckschicht, einen annähernd gleichen Wert aufweist und diese Bestandteile durch Verpressen und Ausformen unter Anschmelzen der sich berührenden Oberflächen dauerhaft miteinander verbunden sind. The invention has for its object to design the shoe insert so that it can be produced with a much simplified process and thereby receives a special inner stability. According to the invention, this is done by that both the top and bottom layers and the support core consist of a thermoplastic material, the melting point of the three Components of the shoe insert, support core and top and bottom cover layer, one has approximately the same value and these components by pressing and Forming permanently by melting the touching surfaces are interconnected.

Bei der erfindungsgemäßen Schuheinlage liegt ein fester Verbund sowohl der Oberdeckschicht mit dem Stützkern als auch der Unterdeckschicht mit dem Stützkern sowie der über den Stützkern hinausragenden Randbereiche der Oberdeckschicht und der Unterdeckschicht vor, der durch eine Art Verschweißen der sich berührenden Oberflächen herbeigeführt ist, wobei zusätzlich der Stützkern seine endgültige therapeutisch erforderliche Form durch das Verpressen und das Ausformen erhält, so daß also die Schuheinlage in einem Verfahrensschritt unter dauerhafter Verbindung ihrer drei Bestandteile und diesem Ausformen entstanden ist. Die Schuheinlage ist damit das Ergebnis eines einzigen Schrittes, mit dem die unverformt lose in einer Preßform übereinandergelegten Bestandteile der Schuheinlage verpreßt werden, wobei gleichzeitig durch das Anschmelzen der sich berührenden Oberflächen die dauernde innere Verbindung der Bestandteile und durch das damit einhergehende Ausformen die endgültige Gestalt der Schuheinlage herbeigeführt wird. Entscheidend ist dabei, daß sämtliche Bestandteile der Schuheinlage aus einem thermoplastischen Material bestehen und der Schmelzpunkt der drei Bestandteile einen annähernd gleichen Wert aufweist, so daß der vorstehend geschilderte Vorgang in einem Schritt die Verbindung sämtlicher Bestandteile herbeiführen kann, die danach untrennbar die Schuheinlage mit jeweiliger Anpassung an die therapeutischen Gegebenheiten bilden.In the shoe insert according to the invention there is a firm bond of both Upper cover layer with the support core and the lower cover layer with the Support core and the edge areas of the The top cover layer and the bottom cover layer in front, by a kind of welding of the contacting surfaces is brought about, with the addition of Support core its final therapeutically required shape by pressing and the shaping, so that the shoe insert in one Process step with permanent connection of its three components and this Forming arose. The shoe insert is the result of one Step, with which the undeformed loosely laid in a mold Components of the shoe insert are pressed, at the same time by the Melting the touching surfaces the permanent inner connection of the components and, through the accompanying shaping, the final one Shape of the shoe insert is brought about. It is crucial that all components of the shoe insert made of a thermoplastic material exist and the melting point of the three components is approximately the same Has value, so that the above-described process in one step Can bring all components together, which are then inseparable Shoe insert with respective adaptation to the therapeutic conditions form.

Vorteilhaft wird die Oberdeckschicht mit einer hautfreundlichen Auflage versehen, wozu Leder, Kunstleder, Kunststoff, oder dergleichen verwendet werden kann.The top layer with a skin-friendly layer is advantageous provided what leather, synthetic leather, plastic, or the like used can be.

Für die Ausbildung des Stützkernes kann man ein homogenes Material, z.B. eine an ihren Rändern abgeflachte Kunststoffplatte, verwenden. Es ist aber auch möglich und besonders vorteilhaft, den Stützkern durch zwei aufeinander liegende Platten auszubilden, bei denen es sich jeweils um ein verflossenes Schüttgut handelt. Hierfür kommt ein feines Kunststoffgranulat in Frage, das durch Erhitzung verfließt und nach Erkalten eine Platte bildet. Hierzu wird das Kunststoffgranulat in eine Form geschüttet, in der es durch Erhitzen verfließt und dabei hinsichtlich seiner Kontur durch die Form begrenzt wird. So lassen sich in bekannter Weise Platten gewünschter Dicke und Kontur herstellen, die dann aufeinander gelegt werden, wobei zur Ausbildung des Stützkernes die untere Platte gegenüber der oberen Platte eine geringere Längsausdehnung aufweist. Die untere Platte bildet dabei im wesentlichen das Stützteil der Schuheinlage aus, die dann endgültig durch das Ausformen und Verpressen die gewünschte Form hinsichtlich der notwendigen therapeutischen Gestaltung erhält.A homogeneous material, e.g. a flattened plastic plate at the edges, use. It is also possible and particularly advantageous, the support core by two superimposed Form plates, each of which is a flowed bulk material acts. For this, a fine plastic granulate can be considered Heating dissipates and forms a plate after cooling. For this, the Poured plastic granulate into a form in which it flows through heating and is limited in terms of its contour by the shape. So can be in known manner to produce plates of desired thickness and contour, which then are placed on top of each other, the lower one being used to form the support core Plate has a smaller longitudinal expansion compared to the upper plate. The lower plate essentially forms the support part of the shoe insert, the then finally the desired shape by molding and pressing with regard to the necessary therapeutic design.

Um der Schuheinlage bei Erhaltung ihrer Biegesteifigkeit eine hohe Festigkeit zu geben, bildet man zweckmäßig eine der beiden Deckschichten oder sowohl die Ober- als auch die Unterdeckschicht aus einem Zwei-Lagen-Material aus, bei dem die innere Lage (dem Stützkern zugewandt) aus einem Gewebenetz besteht, das durch eine thermoplastische Kunststofffaser gebildet ist. Die äußere Lage besteht aus einer thermoplastischen Kunststoffolie, wobei der Schmelzpunkt des Gewebenetzes und der Kunststoffolie demjenigen der drei Bestandteile, also Oberdeckschicht, Stützkern und Unterdeckschicht, entspricht. Durch die Verwendung des Gewebenetzes erhält die Schuheinlage in ihrer Längsausdehnung eine ganz erhebliche Festigkeit, ohne dabei an Biegesteifigkeit zu verlieren, so daß die Schuheinlage sich beim Gehen nach wie vor ohne weiteres einem sich abbiegenden Schuh anpassen kann. Das Gewebenetz sorgt darüber hinaus dafür, daß auch dem Stützkern, der normalerweise einen vom Fuß weg gerichteten Hohlraum bildet, eine hohe Elastizität gegeben wird, da die Belastung der Schuheinlage durch den Fuß in diesem Fall nicht nur von dem Stützkern allein, sondern auch von dem Gewebenetz aufgefangen wird.To give the shoe insert high strength while maintaining its flexural rigidity give, one expediently forms one of the two cover layers or both The top and bottom layers are made of a two-layer material the inner layer (facing the support core) consists of a mesh that is formed by a thermoplastic fiber. The outer layer is there made of a thermoplastic film, the melting point of Mesh and the plastic film that of the three components, that is Upper cover layer, support core and lower cover layer corresponds. Through the The use of the fabric mesh preserves the length of the shoe insert a very considerable strength without losing rigidity, so that the shoe insert is still easy to see when walking can adjust the turning shoe. The fabric network also ensures that also the support core, which usually points one away from the foot Cavity forms, a high elasticity is given, because the load of the Shoe insert by the foot in this case not only from the support core alone, but is also caught by the mesh.

In der Fig. 1 ist die Schuheinlage 1 in perspektivischer Sicht dargestellt, von der die Deckschicht 2 sichtbar ist, die in bekannter Weise in den Längsrandbereichen 3 und 4 leicht hochgewölbt ist. Die Schuheinlage 1 enthält den durch die gestrichelte Linie angedeuteten Stützkern 5, der im Sinne der oben geschilderten Ausbildung aus zwei Platten das Unterstück 6 enthält, das eine geringere Längs- und Querausdehnung als der gesamte Stützkern 5 aufweist, so daß sich die Stützkraft des Unterstückes 6 insbesondere auf das Längsgewölbe des Fußes auswirkt.In Fig. 1, the shoe insert 1 is shown in perspective, from the the cover layer 2 is visible, which is known in the longitudinal edge areas 3 and 4 is slightly arched. The shoe insert 1 contains the by Dashed line indicated support core 5, in the sense of the above Formation of two plates contains the lower part 6, which has a lower longitudinal and Has transverse expansion as the entire support core 5, so that the Support force of the lower part 6 in particular on the longitudinal arch of the foot affects.

Die in der Fig. 1 dargestellte Schuheinlage endet normalerweise bei dem Rand 7 in der Höhe des Mittelfußes. Es ist aber auch möglich, die Schuheinlage 1 so zu gestalten, daß sie sich über den gesamten Fuß erstreckt, was durch den Vorderlappen 8 mit strich-punktierter Umrandung angedeutet ist. In diesem Bereich 8 besteht die Schuheinlage lediglich aus der Verbindung der beiden oben erwähnten Deckschichten (siehe Fig. 2), ohne daß in diesem Bereich eine Stützkraft ausgeübt wird und daher der Stützkern auch nur auf den hinteren Bereich der Schuheinlage konzentriert ist.The shoe insert shown in FIG. 1 normally ends at the edge 7 at the level of the midfoot. But it is also possible to insert the shoe insert 1 in this way shape that it extends over the entire foot, which by the Front lobe 8 with dash-dotted outline is indicated. In this Area 8, the shoe insert consists only of the connection of the two above mentioned cover layers (see Fig. 2) without a in this area Support force is exerted and therefore the support core only on the rear Area of the shoe insert is concentrated.

Fig. 2 zeigt die in Fig. 1 dargestellte Schuheinlage 1 im Längsschnitt. Die Schuheinlage 1 weist die Oberdeckschicht 9 und die Unterdeckschicht 10 auf, zwischen denen der Stützkern 5 mit dem darunter liegenden Unterstück 6 eingeschlossen ist. Diese drei Bestandteile der Schuheinlage, nämlich Oberdeckschicht 9, Unterdeckschicht 10 und Stützkern 5/6, sind durch Anschmelzen und Verpressen der Oberflächen fest miteinander verbunden, da sie aus thermoplastischem Kunststoff bestehen, dessen Schmelzpunkt bei allen Bestandteilen dieser Schuheinlage etwa bei dem gleichen Wert liegt. Die Rohlinge, aus denen die Oberdeckschicht 9, Unterdeckschicht 10 und Stützkern 5/6 gebildet werden, werden hierzu in einem Heizofen in einer Weise übereinander gelegt, die ihrer endgültigen Lage entspricht, und in dem Heizofen so weit erhitzt, daß die einander zugewandten Oberflächen anschmelzen. Daraufhin werden diese Rohlinge in eine Presse überführt, die die Konturen der fertigen orthopädischen Schuheinlage aufweist. In der Presse werden die so übereinander gelegten Bestandteile verpreßt, wobei sich die angeschmolzenen Oberflächen der Bestandteile innig miteinander verbinden und damit insgesamt eine durchgehend fest verbundene Schuheinlage bilden. Bei diesem Verpressen kann es sich auch um ein Tiefziehen handeln, je nach dem, wie weit die Längsränder der fertigen Schuheinlage hochgezogen sind. Die Schuheinlage nimmt damit ihre in den Figuren 1 und 2 dargestellte Gestaltung an, in der sie nach Abkühlung stabil und belastbar bleibt.Fig. 2 shows the shoe insert 1 shown in Fig. 1 in longitudinal section. The Shoe insert 1 has the top cover layer 9 and the bottom cover layer 10, between which the support core 5 with the lower part 6 below is included. These three components of the shoe insert, namely Upper cover layer 9, lower cover layer 10 and support core 5/6 are through Melting and pressing the surfaces firmly together as they consist of thermoplastic material, the melting point of all Components of this shoe insert is approximately the same value. The Blanks that make up the top cover layer 9, bottom cover layer 10 and support core 5/6 are formed in a heating oven in a manner placed on top of each other, which corresponds to their final position, and in the heating furnace heated so far that the facing surfaces melt. Thereupon these blanks are transferred to a press which the contours of the finished orthopedic shoe insert. They are like that in the press superimposed components pressed, whereby the melted Connect the surfaces of the components intimately and thus overall form a firmly connected shoe insert. During this pressing it can also be a deep drawing, depending on how far the Longitudinal edges of the finished shoe insert are pulled up. The shoe insert thus assumes the design shown in Figures 1 and 2, in which it remains stable and resilient after cooling.

In der Fig. 3 ist der durch den Kreis 11 gemäß Fig. 2 dargestellte Ausschnitt in vergößerter Darstellung wiedergegeben. Gemäß dieser Darstellung ist das gezeigte Ausführungsbeispiel in besonderer Weise versteift, nämlich dadurch, daß sowohl die Oberdeckschicht 9 als auch die Unterdeckschicht 10 jeweils aus einem Zwei-Lagen-Material besteht, bei dem die jeweils innere Lage 12 bzw. 13 aus einem Gewebenetz besteht, das hier durch die als Punkte gezeichneten Schußfäden und die darum herum gelegten Kettfäden gebildet ist. Die Gewebenetze 12 und 13 bestehen aus einer thermoplastischen Kunststoffaser, die etwa den gleichen Schmelzpunkt besitzt wie die anderen Bestandteile der Schuheinlage. Nach außen hin wird das Zwei-Lagen-Material jeweils durch eine thermoplastische Kunststoffolie 14 bzw. 15 abgedeckt, deren Schmelzpunkt ebenfalls demjenigen der anderen Bestandteile der Schuheinlage entspricht. Durch das Gewebenetz 12 bzw. 13 wird der Kunststoffeinlage unter Beibehaltung ihrer Biegesteifigkeit ein hoher Widerstand gegen Dehnung gegeben, womit insbesondere in den Längsrandstreifen der Schuheinlage, die mehr oder minder stark hochgezogen sind, eine hohe Elastizität gegeben wird.FIG. 3 shows the detail represented by the circle 11 according to FIG. 2 in FIG reproduced enlarged representation. According to this representation, that is shown embodiment stiffened in a special way, namely in that both the top cover layer 9 and the bottom cover layer 10 each consist of one There is two-layer material, in which the respective inner layer 12 or 13 a fabric network, which is shown here by the dots Weft threads and the warp threads placed around them are formed. The Fabric nets 12 and 13 consist of a thermoplastic synthetic fiber has about the same melting point as the other components of the Shoe insert. To the outside, the two-layer material is covered by one thermoplastic film 14 or 15 covered, the melting point also corresponds to that of the other components of the shoe insert. By the fabric net 12 or 13 is the plastic insert while maintaining it Bending rigidity given a high resistance to elongation, with what especially in the longitudinal edge strips of the shoe insert, the more or less are pulled up high, a high elasticity is given.

In der Fig. 4 ist eine Draufsicht auf die Schuheinlage dargestellt, bei der das Unterstück 6 eine etwas andere Randform besitzt als das Unterstück 6 gemäß Fig. 1. Hierbei handelt es sich um eine gewollte Anpassung an eine bestimmte Indikation für die Behandlung eines Fußes.4 is a plan view of the shoe insert, in which the Bottom piece 6 has a slightly different edge shape than the bottom piece 6 according to FIG. 1. This is a deliberate adaptation to a specific one Indication for the treatment of a foot.

Aus Fig. 4 ist ersichtlich, daß über den Stützkern 5 hinaus die Ränder der Oberdeckschicht und Unterdeckschicht hinausragen, also insbesondere die Längsränder 3 und 4 sowie die in der Fig. 4 deutlich sichtbaren Querränder 16 und 17.From Fig. 4 it can be seen that beyond the support core 5, the edges of the The top and bottom layers protrude, in particular those Longitudinal edges 3 and 4 and the transverse edges 16 clearly visible in FIG. 4 and 17th

In dem Bereich dieser Ränder 4, 6, 16 und 17 sind die Oberdeckschicht und die Unterdeckschicht fest miteinander verschweißt. Im übrigen erstreckt sich diese Verschweißung, wie oben dargelegt, natürlich über die gesamte Oberfläche des Stützkerns 5 mit seinem Unterstück 6.In the area of these edges 4, 6, 16 and 17 are the top cover layer and the Bottom layer welded together. Otherwise, this extends Welding, as explained above, of course over the entire surface of the Support core 5 with its lower part 6.

In der Figur 4 ist weiterhin das in Figur 3 eingezeichnete Gewebenetz 12 dargestellt, und zwar aus Gründen der Vereinfachung der Darstellung konzentriert auf den mittleren Bereich der Schuheinlage und den Bereich der Ferse und des Vorderfusses. Dabei ist das Gewebenetz durch gestrichelte, sich kreuzende Linien angedeutet. Das Gewebenetz erstreckt sich insgesamt über die gesamte Fläche der Oberdeckschicht und der Unterdeckschicht (siehe Figur 3).FIG. 4 also shows the fabric network 12 shown in FIG. 3 shown, concentrated for the sake of simplifying the presentation on the middle area of the shoe insert and the area of the heel and the Forefoot. The mesh is represented by dashed, intersecting lines indicated. The fabric network extends over the entire area of the Upper cover layer and the lower cover layer (see Figure 3).

Es sei noch darauf hingewiesen, daß ggf. auch auf die Anordnung eines Gewebenetzes verzichtet werden kann, so daß dieses dann nur entweder in der Oberdeckschicht oder der Unterdeckschicht vorhanden ist. Im Falle der Verwendung des Gewebenetzes in beiden Deckschichten erhält man jedoch eine entsprechend erhöhte Elastizität der Schuheinlage.It should also be pointed out that the arrangement of a Tissue network can be dispensed with, so that this is then either only in the Upper cover layer or the lower cover layer is present.
