Embodiment Construction

[0021] figure 1 shows an embodiment according to the invention, said embodiment being a rigid tongue part as a main component of a tongue for a shoe, said tongue part preferably having an elongated and substantially longitudinal The shape is axisymmetric to the axis. In this case, there is preferably a deviation in axial symmetry, eg corresponding to a difference between the right and left foot. Thus, the tongue according to the invention can preferably be configured as a left tongue and as a right tongue.

[0022] The rigid tongue part 1 here has an upper, proximal end 2 and a lower, distal end 3 . Preferably, transverse grooves 4 are introduced on both sides in the upper third of the proximal end 2 from the side, said grooves together with the preferably introduced upper inner transverse slit 8 remaining between them. The flexible material connection 5 ensures an increase in the flexibility of the rigid tongue part 1 .

[0023] Preferably, also in the lower, distal third...

Abstract

The invention relates to an air-permeable tongue for shoes (1) which adapts to an individual instep and can be connected to shoes, the tongue comprising the following: a flexible yet rigid tongue part (1), which substantially represents the outwardly facing upper face of the tongue and which has an elongate tongue shape having a proximal end (2) and a distal end (3) and substantially consists of a rigid, solid material; and padding (14), which is arranged beneath the rigid tongue part (1) toward a foot in order to protect the foot from pressure points by the rigid tongue part (1) after the shoe has been fastened; the rigid tongue part (1) being characterized in that an inner elongate slot (6; 6a; 6b), and extending therefrom inner transverse slots (7), are introduced into the tongue part substantially in the center along the longitudinal axis of the rigid tongue part (1), whereby rigid segments, which in their interior are not interrupted by the elongate slot (6; 6a, 6b) or by transverse slots (7), are produced between said elongate slots and transverse slots, and whereby narrowed and thus flexible material webs (5) are also produced at connecting points between the rigid segments, wherein, by means of said material webs, the rigid tongue part (1) can be deformed and adapt to the instep, and being further characterized in that the padding (14) has an inner elongate slot (14b), which is substantially congruent with the elongate slot (6; 6a, 6b) in the rigid tongue part (1).

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a tongue for shoes according to the preamble of claim 1, said tongue being essentially a hard, solid tongue, however said tongue will be pressured by shoelaces Distributed evenly over the instep, the tongue is cushioned in the direction of the instep and preferably has at least one ventilation channel. Background technique [0002] Existing tongues for shoes only take into account the anatomy of the instep and the foot in an insufficient manner with respect to a constant form fit and force fit and with regard to a uniform force distribution on the instep. The tongue is either soft, which increases the pressure on the shoelace, or hard and hard, which no longer conforms to the individual shape of the instep and thus causes indentations. Especially in hiking shoes and in shoes that also have to be tightened more firmly, with which they are also used for long distances on uneven ground, indentations and pain. [0003] A breatha...
