Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf eine Schutzvorrichtung für einen Schuh, die auf einer einseitig mit Klebstoff beschichteten Kunststoffolie basiert, die lösbar auf einen zu schützenden Oberflächenbereich des Schuhs aufklebbar ist.The invention relates to a protective device for a shoe, which is based on a plastic film coated on one side with adhesive, which can be releasably attached to a surface area of the shoe to be protected.

Gerade Damenschuhe erweisen sich beim täglichen Tragen als äußerst empfindlich. An Bordsteinkanten, Kopfsteinpflaster und Gullies erfahren besonders die Spitzen und Absätze der Schuhe leicht Beschädigungen. Diese Beschädigungen sind häufig irreparabel, da die Struktur der entsprechenden Oberflächen zerstört wird. Einer weiteren Belastung sind die Schuhe auch beim Autofahren ausgesetzt. Schuhe, die häufiger beim Autofahren getragen werden, zeigen markante Abnutzungen am Absatz und am Obermaterial im Bereich der Ferse. Während des Winters treten zudem nach dem Gebrauch der Schuhe vielfach sogenannte Schneeränder auf. Diese Schneeränder sind bei einem Feuchtwerden des Obermaterials, sofern es sich um Leder handelt, nahezu unvermeidbar. Die Schneeränder lassen sich in der Regel nicht vollständig beseitigen und schädigen das Aussehen des Schuhs dauerhaft.Women's shoes in particular are extremely sensitive when worn every day. On curbs, cobblestones and gullies, the tips and heels of the shoes in particular are easily damaged. This damage is often irreparable because the structure of the corresponding surfaces is destroyed. The shoes are also exposed to a further load when driving. Shoes that are worn more often when driving show striking wear on the heel and upper in the area of the heel. During the winter, so-called snow edges often appear after using the shoes. These snow edges are almost inevitable when the upper material becomes damp, if it is leather. The snow edges cannot usually be completely removed and permanently damage the appearance of the shoe.

Eine Schutzvorrichtung für einen Schuh der eingangs beschriebenen Art ist bekannt. Die Schutzvorrichtung besteht aus einer selbstklebenden, transparenten Folie. Ein weitgehend streifenförmiger Abschnitt dieser Folie wird auf die rückwärtige Seite des Absatzes und auf das sich darüber erstreckende Obermaterial eines Schuhs geklebt, um diesen beim Autofahren vor Abnutzungen zu schützen. Die Folie kann nicht jeder Kontur des Schuhs folgen und liegt daher über Teilbereiche ihrer Ausdehnung nicht am Schuh an. Die Folie weist zudem eine nicht mit Klebstoff beschichtete kleine Fläche auf, die zum Abziehen der Folie vom Schuh nach dem Autofahren dient. Diese Schutzvorrichtung ist nicht für den dauernden Verbleib am Schuh bestimmt und geeignet, da sie nur leicht mit diesem verklebbar ist und seinen optischen Gesamteindruck verschlechtert. Sie ist deutlich als nicht zum Schuh gehöriges Provisorium zu erkennen.A protective device for a shoe of the type described above is known. The protective device consists of a self-adhesive, transparent film. A largely strip-shaped section of this film is glued to the rear side of the heel and to the upper material of a shoe that extends over it in order to protect it from wear and tear when driving. The film cannot follow every contour of the shoe and is therefore not in contact with the shoe over part of its extent. The film also has a small area that is not coated with adhesive and is used to pull the film off the shoe after driving. This protective device is not intended and suitable for permanent retention on the shoe, since it can only be glued easily to it and its visual appearance Overall impression worsened. It is clearly recognizable as a temporary that does not belong to the shoe.

Als Schutzvorrichtung für einen Schuh ist eine Gamasche bekannt. Die Gamasche deckt das Obermaterial des Schuhs vorwiegend im Bereich der Schnürung. Sie ist daher zur Schonung der besonders gefährdeten Bereiche des Schuhs wenig geeignet. Gamaschen entsprachen einmal dem Zeitgeschmack, sind aber heute völlig aus der Mode. Für Damenschuhe waren sie niemals von Bedeutung.A gaiter is known as a protective device for a shoe. The gaiter covers the upper of the shoe mainly in the lacing area. It is therefore not very suitable for protecting the particularly vulnerable areas of the shoe. Leggings once corresponded to the taste of the times, but are now completely out of fashion. They were never important for women's shoes.

Als Schutzvorrichtung für einen Schuh ist ein Überschuh bekannt. Überschuhe entsprechen übergroßen, dünnwandigen Stiefeln, die über den normalen Schuhen getragen werden. Sie schützen den eigentlichen Schuh zwar rundum, sind aber vom ästhetischen Eindruck und dem Tragekomfort absolut indiskutabel.An overshoe is known as a protective device for a shoe. Overshoes correspond to oversized, thin-walled boots that are worn over normal shoes. Although they protect the actual shoe all around, they are absolutely out of the question in terms of aesthetics and comfort.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Schutzvorrichtung der eingangs beschriebenen Art derart weiterzubilden, so daß sie den Schuh dauerhaft schützt, wobei das optische Erscheinungsbild des Schuhs hohen Ansprüchen genügt.The invention has for its object to develop a protective device of the type described above so that it permanently protects the shoe, the visual appearance of the shoe meeting high demands.

Erfindungsgemäß wird dies dadurch erreicht, daß die Schutzvorrichtung mindestens ein Formstück aus der Kunststoffolie aufweist, dessen Umriß ein formschlüssiges Aufkleben auf den zu schützenden Oberflächenbereich des Schuhs erlaubt, und daS die Kunststoffolie farbig und blickdicht ist. Für die neue Schutzvorrichtung finden Formstücke Verwendung, die von ihren Umrissen auf die zu schützenden Oberflächenbereiche des Schuhs abgestimmt sind. Dies bedeutet zum einen, daß der zu schützende Oberflächenbereich vollständig abgedeckt wird, zum anderen aber auch, daß sich die Umrisse in das Gesamterscheinungsbild des Schuhs einpassen. Die Kunststoffolie liegt bei der Verwendung der Schutzvorrichtung über ihre gesamte Ausdehnung formschlüssig an der Oberfläche des Schuhs an. Eine Tendenz zur Ablösung der Kunststoffolie wird so unterbunden. Bei gebogenen Oberflächenbereichen des Schuhs kann es notwendig sein, die Schutzvorrichtung während des Aufklebens zu erwärmen, so daß sie sich der Kontur der Oberfläche des Schuhs vollständig anpaßt. Kunststoffolie kann z. Bsp. durch einen üblicherweise zum Haartrocknen verwendeten Föhn auf Temperaturen erwärmt werden, bei denen sie plastisch wird. Durch die farbige und blickdichte Ausführung der Kunststoffolie wird nicht nur der Eindruck erweckt, die Kunststoffolie gehöre als fester Bestandteil zum Schuh, sondern auch die Möglichkeit eröffnet, schon bestehende Beschädigungen am Schuh zu überdecken. Damit wird eine Ausbreitung der vorhandenen Beschädigungen verhindert und ein optisch einwandfreier Zustand wiederhergestellt. Die Kunststoffolie wird in solchen Qualitäten verwendet, die deutlich unempfindlicher sind, als die üblichen polierten Lederflächen eines Schuhs. Im Falle einer Beschädigung ist es möglich, die Schutzvorrichtung gegen eine neue auszutauschen. Die Schutzvorrichtung erlaubt zudem, dem Schuh ein neues Erscheinungsbild zu verleihen. Dies geschieht z. Bsp. mittels farbiger oder metallisierter Kunststoffolie. Die Kantenbereiche der Formstücke, denen keine feste Anlage, wie z. Bsp. die Sohle zugeordnet ist, sind auch optisch attraktiv gestaltbar. Ein einzelner zu schützender Oberflächenbereich des Schuhs muß nicht notwendigerweise von einem Formstück abgedeckt werden. Ansprechende optische Effekte ergeben sich, wenn mehrere, sich teilweise überlappende Formstücke in ihrer Gesamtheit den Oberflächenbereich schützen. Die Kunststoffolie schützt den Schuh nicht nur vor mechanischen Verletzungen, sondern auch vor Feuchtigkeitseinwirkungen. Kunststoffolie ist wasserundurchlässig und hält so die Einwirkungen von Wasser und Schnee vom eigentlichen Obermaterial des Schuhs fern. Die Pflege der Kunststoffolie ist durch Abputzen mit einem feuchten Tuch abgetan. Es versteht sich, daß die Formstücke aus der Kunststoffolie nicht auf gefettete Oberflächenbereiche des Schuhs aufgeklebt werden können. Das Fett würde die Haftwirkung der Verklebung negativ beeinflussen, so daß kein dauerhafter Schutz des Schuhs möglich wäre.According to the invention, this is achieved in that the protective device has at least one shaped piece made of the plastic film, the outline of which allows a form-fitting gluing onto the surface area of the shoe to be protected, and that the plastic film is colored and opaque. Moldings are used for the new protective device, the shape of which is matched to the surface areas of the shoe to be protected. This means on the one hand that the surface area to be protected is completely covered, but on the other hand that the contours fit into the overall appearance of the shoe. The plastic film is with the Use of the protective device over its entire extent in a form-fitting manner on the surface of the shoe. This prevents a tendency to detach the plastic film. In the case of curved surface areas of the shoe, it may be necessary to heat the protective device during gluing so that it completely adapts to the contour of the surface of the shoe. Plastic film can e.g. For example, can be heated to temperatures at which it becomes plastic by a hair dryer that is usually used for drying hair. The colored and opaque design of the plastic film not only gives the impression that the plastic film is an integral part of the shoe, but also opens up the possibility of covering existing damage to the shoe. This prevents the existing damage from spreading and restores an optically perfect condition. The plastic film is used in qualities that are significantly less sensitive than the usual polished leather surfaces of a shoe. In the event of damage, it is possible to replace the protective device with a new one. The protective device also allows the shoe to be given a new look. This happens e.g. For example, using colored or metallized plastic film. The edge areas of the fittings, which no fixed system such. For example, the sole is assigned, can also be designed to be optically attractive. A single surface area of the shoe to be protected does not necessarily have to be covered by a molding. Appealing visual effects result when several, partially overlapping shaped pieces protect the surface area in their entirety. The plastic film not only protects the shoe from mechanical injuries, but also from the effects of moisture. Plastic film is impermeable to water and thus keeps the effects of water and snow away from the actual upper material of the shoe. The care of the plastic film is done by cleaning with a damp cloth. It it goes without saying that the molded pieces made of plastic film cannot be glued to greased surface areas of the shoe. The grease would adversely affect the adhesive effect of the bond, so that permanent protection of the shoe would not be possible.

Der zu schützende Oberflächenbereich kann der untere Abschnitt des Absatzes des Schuhs sein. Der untere Abschnitt des Absatzes, insbesondere eines Damenschuhs, ist durch Kopfsteinpflaster und Gullies besonders gefährdet. Dieser Oberflächenbereich des Schuhs ist derjenige, an dem am häufigsten Beschädigungen vorgefunden werden. Das entsprechende Formstück aus der Kunststoffolie erstreckt sich im angebrachten Zustand von der Sohle am Grund des Absatzes bis in einen Bereich des Absatzes, der nur noch wenig gefährdet ist. Dort kann das Formstück z. Bsp. mit einer Zierkante enden. Das Formstück aus der Kunststoffolie fängt die mechanischen Einwirkungen auf den Absatz ab und kann, sofern es selbst beschädigt wird, problemlos ausgetauscht werden.The surface area to be protected can be the lower portion of the heel of the shoe. The lower section of the heel, especially a women's shoe, is particularly at risk from cobblestones and gullies. This surface area of the shoe is the one where damage is most commonly found. The corresponding molded piece made of plastic film extends from the sole at the bottom of the heel to an area of the heel that is only slightly endangered. There the fitting z. For example, end with a decorative edge. The molded piece from the plastic film absorbs the mechanical effects on the heel and, if it is damaged itself, can be easily replaced.

Der zu schützende Oberflächenbereich kann die Spitze des Schuhs sein. Die Spitze eines Schuhs wird auf vielfältige Weise strapaziert. Nicht nur ungewollte Berührungen mit Bordsteinkanten oder Treppenstufen, sondern auch das Übereinanderschlagen unter einem Schreibtischstuhl können dazu beitragen. Vor entsprechenden Beschädigungen schützt das Formstück aus der Kunststoffolie, das der Spitze des Schuhs genau angepaßt ist. Es deckt den Oberflächenbereich des Schuhs von der Sohle beginnend bis in eine Höhe ab, in der Beschädigungen nur selten sind. Dort kann das Formstück mit einer Zierkante enden.The surface area to be protected can be the tip of the shoe. The tip of a shoe is strained in a variety of ways. Not only unintentional contact with curbs or steps, but also hitting under a desk chair can help. The molded piece of plastic film, which is precisely adapted to the tip of the shoe, protects against corresponding damage. It covers the surface area of the shoe from the sole to a height where damage is rare. There the fitting can end with a decorative edge.

Der zu schützende Oberflächenbereich kann ein an die Sohle angrenzender und entlang dieser verlaufender Streifen des Obermaterials des Schuhs sein. Der sohlennahe Oberflächenbereich des Schuhs ist derjenige, der in der Regel von Schneerändern bedeckt wird. Dies kann durch die Formstücke aus der Kunststoffolie verhindert werden, wenn sie auf eben diesen Streifen des Obermaterials des Schuhs aufgeklebt werden.The surface area to be protected can be a strip of the upper material of the shoe which adjoins and runs along the sole. The close to the sole Surface area of the shoe is the one that is usually covered by snow edges. This can be prevented by the molded pieces from the plastic film, if they are glued to this very strip of the upper material of the shoe.

Der zu schützende Oberflächenbereich kann der, der Ferse entsprechende Abschnitt des Obermaterials des Schuhs sein. Der Bereich der Ferse wird beim Schuh insbesondere während des Autofahrens stark belastet. Das Formstück aus der Kunststoffolie, das geeignet ist, diese Belastung fernzuhalten, beginnt an der Sohle und erstreckt sich über den der Ferse entsprechenden Abschnitt des Obermaterials, wobei es in Abstimmung mit dem optischen Gesamtbild des Schuhs endet.The surface area to be protected can be the section of the upper material of the shoe corresponding to the heel. The area of the heel of the shoe is particularly stressed while driving. The molded piece of plastic film, which is suitable for keeping this load away, begins at the sole and extends over the section of the upper material corresponding to the heel, ending in coordination with the overall visual appearance of the shoe.

Figur 1 zeigt die Schutzvorrichtung in einer Ausführungsform für einen Absatz. Die Schutzvorrichtung besteht aus einem Formstück 1 aus Kunststoffolie 2. Die Kunststoffolie ist einseitig mit Klebstoff 3 beschichtet. Das Formstück 1 weist eine Anlagekante 4 für die Sohle am Grund des Absatzes des Schuhs auf. Der weitere Umriß des Formstücks 1 wird durch die Zierkante 5 bestimmt. Die Zierkante 5 ist vorwiegend nach ästhetischen Aspekten ausgerichtet. Der zu schützende Oberflächenbereich des Absatzes wird durch einen Zentralbereich 6 des Formstückes 1 abgedeckt. Der Zentralbereich 6 nimmt so mechanische Einwirkungen auf die Rückseite des Absatzes auf. Die einseitig mit Klebstoff 3 beschichtete Kunststoffolie 2, aus der das Formstück 1 besteht, kann ein oder mehrfarbig bzw. auch mit einer metallischen Oberfläche versehen sein. Die Wahl der Oberfläche erfolgt nach optischen Gesichtspunkten.Figure 1 shows the protective device in an embodiment for a paragraph. The protection device consists of a Shaped part 1 made of plastic film 2. The plastic film is coated on one side with adhesive 3. The molding 1 has a contact edge 4 for the sole at the bottom of the heel of the shoe. The further outline of the molding 1 is determined by the decorative edge 5. The decorative edge 5 is mainly oriented to aesthetic aspects. The surface area of the shoulder to be protected is covered by a central area 6 of the molding 1. The central area 6 thus absorbs mechanical effects on the rear of the heel. The plastic film 2 coated on one side with adhesive 3, from which the molded piece 1 is made, can be provided in one or more colors or also with a metallic surface. The choice of surface is made according to optical aspects.

In Figur 2 ist ein Schuh 7 dargestellt, an dessen Absatz 8 das Formstück 1 gemäß Figur 1, als Schutzvorrichtung angebracht ist. Die Kunststoffolie 2 aus der das Formstück 1 im wesentlichen besteht, haftet dabei mittels des Klebstoffs 3 auf der Oberfläche 9 des Absatzes 8. Die Anlagekante 4 liegt an der Sohle 10 des Absatzes 8 an. Das Formstück 1 endet auf der Vorderseite 11 des Absatzes 8. Die Vorderseite 11 des Absatzes 8 ist normalerweise nicht sichtbar. Mechanische Einwirkungen auf den unteren Bereich des Absatzes 8 können durch das Formstück 1 sicher aufgenommen werden. Sofern das Formstück 1 beschädigt werden sollte, kann es problemlos gegen ein anderes ausgetauscht werden.FIG. 2 shows a shoe 7, on the heel 8 of which the molded part 1 according to FIG. 1 is attached as a protective device. The plastic film 2 from which the molded part 1 essentially consists adheres to the surface 9 of the heel 8 by means of the adhesive 3. The contact edge 4 lies against the sole 10 of the heel 8. The molding 1 ends on the front 11 of the paragraph 8. The front 11 of the paragraph 8 is normally not visible. Mechanical effects on the lower area of paragraph 8 can be safely absorbed by the molded part 1. If the molding 1 should be damaged, it can be easily replaced with another.

Figur 3 zeigt die Schutzvorrichtung in einer Ausführungsform für die Spitze 12 des Schuhs 7.FIG. 3 shows the protective device in one embodiment for the tip 12 of the shoe 7.

Figur 4 zeigt eine weitere Ausführungsform der Schutzvorrichtung, wie sie zur Vermeidung von Schneerändern eingesetzt wird. Das Formstück 1 erstreckt sich als schmaler Streifen oberhalb der Sohle 10 des Schuhs 7. Die Anlagekante 4 des Formstücks 1 ist dementsprechend lang ausgebildet. Das Formstück 1 schützt die Oberflächenbereiche des Schuhs 7, die durch Feuchtigkeit auf den Gehwegen besonders gefährdet sind. Dieses Formstück 1 ist als Präventivmaßnahme besonders im Winter sinnvoll. Sofern schon Schneeränder an dem Schuh 7 vorhanden sind, kann das Formstück 1 diese bei ganzjähriger Verwendung überdecken und damit unsichtbar machen.FIG. 4 shows a further embodiment of the protective device as it is used to avoid snow edges. The molding 1 extends as a narrow strip above the sole 10 of the shoe 7. The contact edge 4 of the molding 1 is accordingly long. The Shape 1 protects the surface areas of the shoe 7 that are particularly at risk from moisture on the sidewalks. This fitting 1 is particularly useful as a preventive measure in winter. If there are already snow edges on the shoe 7, the molded piece 1 can cover these during year-round use and thus make them invisible.

In Figur 5 ist der Schuh 7 mit den drei bisher dargestellten Ausführungsformen der Schutzvorrichtung dargestellt; die Formstücke 1 schützen die Spitze 12, den Bereich oberhalb der Sohle 10 und den Absatz 8. Außerdem ist ein weiteres Formstück 1 abgebildet, das im Abschnitt 13, der der Ferse eines nicht dargestellten Fußes zuzuordnen ist, das Obermaterial 14 des Schuhs 7 beispielsweise beim Autofahren schützt. Durch verschiedenfarbige Gestaltung der einzelnen Formstücke 1 kann der Schuh 7 optisch aufgewertet werden. Es ist auch möglich, den Schuh 7 mit unterschiedlichsten Erscheinungsbildern zu versehen. Formstücke 1, die aus einseitig mit Klebstoff beschichteter Kunststoffolie in Schuhfarbe bestehen, erhalten ein schlichtes Erscheinungsbild. Durch z. Bsp. goldfarbige Kunststoffolie kann ein sehr auffälliges Erscheinungsbild des Schuhs 7 hervorgerufen werden.In Figure 5, the shoe 7 is shown with the three previously shown embodiments of the protective device; the molded pieces 1 protect the tip 12, the area above the sole 10 and the heel 8. In addition, a further molded piece 1 is shown, which in the section 13, which is to be assigned to the heel of a foot (not shown), the upper material 14 of the shoe 7, for example when Driving protects. The shoe 7 can be optically upgraded by the different colored design of the individual shaped pieces 1. It is also possible to provide the shoe 7 with a wide variety of appearances.
