The invention relates to a shoe, in particular for sports purposes, including a provided with at least two bandages flexible shaft, a central lock with rotatable locking member and an actuated by means of the closure element, closing the flexible shaft on the bandages cable. Such footwear is known from WO-A-9,209,216th

DE-A-39 32 023.5 a shoe is already known in which the actual shoe body is connected to a closure part made as a separate element. This closure portion contains an average of one zone and two lateral lobes existing bolt carrier, said on the tongue, the rotatable closure element of a central shutter is attached, which is connected via a cable to the lateral flaps together.

In the shoe known from WO-A-9209216 the rotatable closure element of the central closure is arranged on the formed in the usual manner tongue of the shoe, where the cable with two lateral bandages is engaged, which are arranged on the areas adjacent to the tongue side shaft parts ,

For footwear of the aforementioned type appropriate central locking systems are known for example from EP-A-0393380 and EP-A-0412290.

The invention addresses the problem of further developing a shoe of the type mentioned as meaning that its production is simplified and made cheaper.

This object is achieved in that the central closure is arranged on one of the two bandages.

Useful embodiments of the invention are the subject of the dependent claims and are explained in connection with the description of some of illustrated in the drawings exemplary embodiments.

In the Figures 1 to 4 is shown with a closed shank 1 (as a "shank" of the whole, located above the shoe sole 2, flexible part of the shoe body is in this case) as a first embodiment of the invention, a preferably suitable as a leisure shoe shoe.

The closure system of this shoe consists essentially of three parts, namely the central lock 3, a central lock 3 supporting the first drum 4 and a second strap fifth

The central lock 3 contains a rotatable closure member 3a and an actuatable by means of this cable closure element 3a 3b, that closes the flexible shaft 1 via the two lateral bandages 4 and 5. FIG.

The central closure 3 is arranged on the side provided on the shoe outside bandage 4th This band 4 includes - in particular Figure 4 reveals - in its rear region a first guide member 6, which has a rectangular recess 6a enclosing for receiving the free end 7a of the heel region of the shaft 1 clamping part 7 of the second drum 5 serves ,

The central shutter 3-supporting first strap 4 further includes in its front region a second guide element 8 has a recess 8a, which serves to receive the free end 9a of the arch area of ​​the shank 1 which surrounds the tension member 9 of the second bandage fifth

The two guide elements 6 and 8 are arranged in approximately straight extension of cooperating with them clamping portions 7, 9 of the second strap. 5

The central shutter 3 supporting first strap 4 also includes an obliquely forwardly facing mounting part 10 which is connected at the bottom of the shaft. 1 It is highlighted in Figure 2 by the dashed line 11, at which points the first bandage 4 is preferably fixedly connected to the shaft 1, namely in the central closure is 3 bearing area and in the lower part of the fixing member 10. In contrast, the second guide member 8 forming part of the bandage 4, as well as to the subsequent thereto forward upper portion of the fixing member 10 to the shaft is not firmly connected.

The second bandage 5 contains further to the already mentioned, running over the instep area of ​​the upper clamping member 9 has an obliquely running back fixing part 12 and an obliquely forwardly facing mounting part 13 (see FIG. 3 shows), both of which in its lower region are firmly connected to the shaft. 1 The attachment points are marked by the dashed lines 14 and 15. FIG.

Furthermore, part of the second strap 5 of the aforementioned chip part 7 that surrounds the heel area of ​​the shaft. 1 It is formed as a separate element in the illustrated embodiment and is connected via a hinge 16 to the remaining part of the second strap fifth The openings for receiving a pivot joint 16 forming eyelet are designated in the illustration shown in Figure 4 by the reference numerals 17a and 17b.

The cable 3b is fixed at one end in the rear region of the first binding 4 (attachment point 18. See Figure 4). The cable 3b then passes through a slot 7a 'in the free end 7a of the clamping part 7. Then joins the cable 3b of the recess 6a of the first guide member 6 and in the recess 8a of the second guide element 8 a. There, the cable runs 3b by a corresponding groove 9a 'in the free end 9a of the tension member 9. The second end of the cable 3b is on the cable drum of the rotatable locking member 3a secured. The details of the central closure 3 require no explanation, since they are known in other contexts already.

Suitably at least the area covered by the cable 3b ends 7a, 9a of the two clamping members 7, 9 of the second brace 5, the guide elements 6 and 8 of the first drum 4 and of the central lock 3-supporting region of the first drum 4 made of plastic are made, provided that the bandages are manufactured entirely of plastic.

In this embodiment, the thus provided on the outside of the shaft first strap 4 serves as a support of the central closure 3 and surrounds the other hand, a portion of the midfoot. The second, fixed to the inside of the shaft bandage 5 summarizes the remaining part of the midfoot; from here makes a part of the drum 5 (namely, the clamping portion 9) over the instep, while another part, namely, the clamping portion 7, around the heel is guided.

If the central lock 3 is closed by turning the closure element 3a, the ends 7a, 9a of the clamping parts 7, 9 is pulled in the guide elements 6 and 8, in the direction of the central lock 3 are. The shaft 1 thus encloses the user with a uniform, adjustable to the desired value pressure foot.

The central shutter 3 can be solved in a simple manner from the drum 4 and replace if necessary.

Figure 5 shows a modification of Ausführvngsbeispieles according to Figures 1 to 4. This shoe includes a slotted shaft 1 ', the two slot 19 overlap like overlapping stem areas 1a', having 1'b.

The central shutter 3-supporting first strap 4 contains, besides the first guide member 6, a second deflection element 22 for the cable 3b and an attachment point 24 for attachment to a cable end.

The second bandage 5 contains apart from the heel area surrounding clamping part 7, a first deflection element 21 and a third deflector 23 for the cable.

The cable 3b thus runs from the rotatable closure element 3a of the central closure 3 via the free end 7a of the clamping portion 7 of the drum 5 and the three deflection elements 21, 22, 23 to the attachment site 24. When closing the central lock 3 is thus 3b via the cable pull the bandage 5 used in the bandage 4, so that the shaft 1 'of the user's foot encloses with adjustable pressure.

The central shutter 3 supporting bandage 4 includes a second and fourth deflection element 32 or 34 for the cable 3b and an attachment point 35 for fixing the cable end. The second drum 5 carries a first and third deflector 31 or 33 for the cable. The cable 3b thus runs from the rotatable closure element of the central closure 3 via the four deflection elements 31, 32, 33, 34 to the attachment point 35. When clamping of the central closure 3 the bandage 5 3b via the cable used to the brace 4, and the shaft is closed.

In this embodiment, the second bandage contains 5 not the heel area of ​​the shaft enclosing clamping part 7 (as the two embodiments explained above). Accordingly, also the rear guide member 6 of the aforementioned embodiments is done away with.

It may be appropriate, only the central shutter 3 and the four deflection elements 31, 32, 33, 34 and the fastening point 35 bearing regions 4a and 5a of the drums 4 and 5 of relatively bending-resistant material such as plastic to manufacture, whereas the remaining area 4b and 5b of both drums 4, 5 of a relatively flexible material such as leather or leatherette.

7 shows as a further embodiment of the invention, a child's shoe, wherein the are arranged on the first drum 4 central lock 3 is provided centrally on the shaft first The central shutter 3 connecting with the second strap 5 cable 3b here is designed as a simple, short loop. In the drum 5 expediently designed grooves 37 are provided for receiving the control cable 3b.

The two drums 4 and 5 are functional only in the lower region of its fastening lugs (approximately along the line 38, 39) connected to the shaft first
