DOMPATENT VON KREISLER SELTING WERNER - PARTNERSCHAFT VON PATENT- UND RECHTSANWÄLTEN MBB
摘要：
A reinforcement element that is suitable in particular for shoes, bags or orthopedic applications includes a carrier layer (10) and a reinforcement layer (12). According to the invention, the carrier layer (10) is designed so as to at least partly protrude laterally beyond the reinforcement layer (12) in order to form an edge region (14, 16, 18). The invention further relates to a manufacturing process for a reinforcement element of this type.
技术问题语段：
The technical problem addressed in this patent is the creation of a stiffening element for shoes, bags, and other applications that has different stiff areas. This is achieved by using a powdered material that is bonded together by applying pressure and/or heat. The stiffening element has a carrier layer and a stiffening layer, with the carrier layer having a protruding edge region that is more rigid than the stiffening layer. The materials used for the carrier layer and stiffening layer can be the same or similar, and multiple layers can be used. The stiffening element can be produced by punching or cutting out the layers from sheet or roll material, or by using powdered thermoplastic material. The invention provides a solution for creating stiffening elements with different stiff areas.
技术功效语段：
The invention is about a stiffening element that can be used in shoes, bags, orthopedic applications, and other products. The stiffening element has a carrier layer and a stiffening layer that are bonded together by pressure and/or heat. The stiffening layer can have different areas with different levels of stiffness, creating a stiffening element that is particularly suitable for shoes. The stiffening element can be made from powdered materials that are shaped and bonded without waste. The technical effect of the invention is to provide a stiffening element that has areas of different stiffness, making it more flexible and comfortable while still providing support where needed.
权利要求：
1. Reinforcing element, in particular for shoes, bags or orthopedic applications, comprising a support layer (10), and a reinforcing layer (12) surface-connected with the support layer (10), wherein the support layer (10) protrudes at least in parts laterally beyond the reinforcing layer (12) to form an edge region (14, 16, 18), characterized in that the support layer (10) and the reinforcing layer (12) are produced from different powdery materials.
2. Reinforcing element of claim 1, characterized in that the edge region (14, 16, 18) surrounds the reinforcing layer (12) completely.
3. Reinforcing element of claim 1 or 2, characterized in that the edge region (14, 16, 18) has a substantially constant width.
4. Reinforcing element of one of claims 1 to 3, characterized in that an outer contour of the support layer (10) and/or the reinforcing layer (12) is obtained by punching and/or cutting.
5. Reinforcing element of one of claims 1 to 4, characterized in that an outer contour of the support layer and/or the reinforcing layer (12) is obtained directly during manufacture.
6. Reinforcing element of one of claims 1 to 5, characterized in that an adhesive layer (20) is provided on an outer side (18) of the support layer (10) and/or the reinforcing layer (12).
7. Reinforcing element of one of claims 1 to 6, characterized in that the reinforcing layer (12) is produced in a 3D printing method.
8. Method for producing a reinforcing element of one of claims 1 to 7, in particular for shoes, bags or orthopedic applications, in which a reinforcing layer (12) is connected with a support layer (10) and an edge region (14, 16, 16) is formed such that the support layer (10) protrudes at least in part laterally beyond the reinforcing layer (12), wherein the support layer (10) and/or the reinforcing layer (12) are made from a powdery material, wherein the support layer (10) and the reinforcing layer (12) are produced together.
9. Method for producing a reinforcing element of claim 8, in which the edge region (14, 16, 18) surrounds the reinforcing layer (12) completely.
10. Method for producing a reinforcing element of one of claims 8 to 9, in which the edge region (14) has a substantially constant width.
11. Method for producing a reinforcing element of one of claims 8 to 10, in which powder particles are arranged in one layer at least substantially in the final shape of an outer contour of the support layer (10) and/or the reinforcing layer (12).
12. Method for producing a reinforcing element of claim 11, in which a layer of powder particles for forming the reinforcing layer (16) is arranged on the support layer (10) formed by powder particles.
13. Method for producing a reinforcing element of claim 8 to 12, in which the powder particles are compounded in particular by applying heat and/or pressure.
14. Method for producing a reinforcing element of one of claims 8 to 13, in which the support layer (10) and/or the reinforcing layer (12) are produced separately and the support layer (10) is connected with the reinforcing layer (12).
15. Method for producing a reinforcing element of one of claims 8 to 14, in which the reinforcing layer (12) is arranged on the support layer (10) by depositing a layer of powder particles.
16. Method for producing a reinforcing element of one of claims 8 to 15, in which the reinforcing layer (12) is produced preferably directly on the support layer (10) using a 3D printing method.
