Translation of "Flex zone" in German

What is a flex zone and how do I recognize it?

What happens if I return my bike away from stations or outside the flex zone?

The functional flex-zone at the temple is the epitome of perfect technical sophistication.

What is a flex zone?

With Bend-X Technology, young fans of Mikaela and Marcel can make controlled turns even earlier, because the special flex zone in the binding area allows the ski to bend with less effort.

Associated technologies as Actilift System, Smart Compression System, Free Flex Zone, Laser Aerocaps and Excellium provide enhaced swimming performance.

The pre-shaped tongue construction, 2-zone lacing and integrated Soft Flex Zone support the anatomical shape of the foot and its natural rolling movement.

Bikes can only be returned at official station except for Deezernextbike Berlin, sz-bike Dresden, WK-Bike Bremen  and KVB-Rad Köln  where you can return your bike at every public street within the flex zone.

Run Profiler features different proprietary footwear technologies, including a Flex-Zone which optimizes the natural movement of the foot, a medium Arch-Support to restore natural foot function and an X-torsion system to improve foot stability.

Description Beuchat Crawl C500 is designed to meet both triathletes and outdoor swimmers expectations of comfort and efficiency.Swimming and hydrodynamic are highly improved through Actilift System and Radial Compression System, Free Flex Zone and Excellium.

The Neutron 2 remains Scarpa's do-it-all, sweet-spot trail running shoe, featuring an open forefoot flex zone, Vibram® outsole for traction and durability, and a supportive yet unrestrictive design capable of everything from short after-work jaunts to rocky, more technical terrain.

The flexing zone can be made integral with at least a part of the material of the tongue.

In the region of the flexing zone 23 the padded layer 35 is recessed.

Therefore the flexing zone can narrow towards the foot-outside edge of the tongue.

Due to the reasons mentioned above the flexing zone preferably extends to the foot-inside edge of the tongue.

Through varying those parameters we can easily create different flex zones within a board.

By means of the flexing zone the tongue puts up a lower flexural resistance to the lower leg pressing to the front during a walking motion.

In conventional shoes the contact between the lower leg and the tongue loosens considerably, so that the tongue can easily slip towards one side, whereas in the solution in accordance with the invention the flexing zone enables the tongue to remain in a permanent contact with the lower leg thus stabilizing the foot-inside the shoe.

In particular in shoes with ankle height it is expedient for stabilizing the foot in the portion of the upper edge of the shoe, when the flexing zone is spaced from the edge of the tongue close to the shin and said tongue is terminated by an edge zone at its edge close to the shin, said edge zone being flexurally stronger than the flexing zone.

In a preferred embodiment of the invention the flexing zone extends only over a part of the width of the tongue between the foot-inside edge of the tongue and the foot-outside edge of the tongue.

This guarantees that a portion of the tongue lying above the flexing zone towards the tibia and a portion of the tongue lying beneath the flexing zone towards the metatarsus are connected by a flexurally stronger connecting strip, left open by the flexing zone, so that the overall shape of the tongue remains unchanged and the two mentioned portions of the tongue do not move relative to each other.

It is therefore proposed that said flexing zone is formed asymmetrically relative to a midline of the tongue in the middle between the foot-inside edge of the tongue and the foot-outside egde.

In tongues in which the flexing zones extend only over part of the width of the tongue this asymmetry can particularly consist in the fact that the flexing zone is offset towards the foot-inside edge of the tongue relative to the midline of the tongue.

For it has shown that the position-stabilizing effect of the flexing zone acting on the tongue occurs in particular when the flexural strength in the foot-inside portion of the tongue is diminished.

Likewise the flexing zone will expediently terminate at a distance from the foot-outside edge of the tongue, however, it has proven favourable when the flexing zone extends at least over the instep apex.

The tongue can be stabilized further by the fact that at its foot-outside edge the tongue comprises an edge reinforcing structure extending over at least a portion opposite to the flexing zone.

Such edge reinforcing structure has proven expediently when the flexing zone extends close to the foot-outside edge of the tongue.

It is conceivable that the tongue comprises at least one further flexing zone spaced from the flexing zone.

Good results can be achieved when said further flexing zone is offset relative to said first mentioned flexing zone towards the foot-outside edge of the tongue.

When said further flexing zone extends to the foot-outside edge of the tongue, it is recommended that said further flexing zone is arranged offset relative to the first mentioned flexing zone away from the edge of the tongue close to the shin.

In this multi-layered design of the tongue at least one of the layers of the tongue, preferably the padded layer, can be recessed in the region of the flexing zone for the formation of the flexing zone.

As an alternative it is also conceivable that a separately made flexing insert is inserted in a recess of the tongue for the formation of the flexing zone and is there connected with the tongue.
