Description

La présente invention concerne une chaussure haute à lacets.The present invention relates to a high shoe with laces.

On connaît différents modes de réalisation de chaussures hautes à lacets à crochets et leviers pour serrer le pied à l'aide de tirants et plaques d'appui ; ces chaussures sont destinées à des applica­tions les plus différentes telles que certains sports comme le ski, la haute montage, le parachutisme, etc (FR 75 35 488, DOS 27 08 358, FR 77 33 834, FR 76 13 689, FR 77 33 834).Various embodiments are known of tall shoes with laces with hooks and levers for tightening the foot using tie rods and support plates; these shoes are intended for the most different applications such as certain sports such as skiing, high mountaineering, parachuting, etc. (FR 75 35 488, DOS 27 08 358, FR 77 33 834, FR 76 13 689, FR 77 33 834).

Dans tous les cas, ces chaussures doivent être relativement rigides pour l'exercice du sport. Par contre, lorsqu'elles sont utilisées en phase in­termédiaire, par exemple en phase d'approche de mar­che, il serait souhaitable que ces chaussures soient aussi souples que possibles.In all cases, these shoes must be relatively rigid for the exercise of the sport. On the other hand, when they are used in the intermediate phase, for example in the walking approach phase, it would be desirable for these shoes to be as flexible as possible.

Or, les réalisations actuelles ne permettent pas une telle combinaison de rigidité et de souplesse.However, current embodiments do not allow such a combination of rigidity and flexibility.

On connaît notamment selon la revue Ski Ma­gazine, page 93 (Mars 1988), une chaussure de ski mu­nie d'un lacet passant sur le coup de pied et prenant appui sur celui-ci par une plaquette à répartition de pression. L'inconvénient de cette chaussure est que la répartition des efforts ne tient pas compte de l'ana­tomie très irrégulière du pied et risque de traumati­ ser les parties du pieds dépassant de la surface d'ap­pui.According to the magazine Ski Magazine, page 93 (March 1988), a ski boot is provided with a lace passing over the kick and bearing on it by a pressure distribution plate. The disadvantage of this shoe is that the distribution of forces does not take into account the very irregular anatomy of the foot and risk of trauma. tighten the parts of the feet protruding from the support surface.

La présente invention a pour but de créer une chaussure notamment de sport ou plus généralement une chaussure technique qui, au gré de l'utilisateur, peut être relativement souple pour faciliter la marche normale et, par ailleurs, être rendue rigide pour fa­ciliter la pratique de certains exercices ou travaux ; et qui, de plus, soit d'une mise en oeuvre facile pour l'utilisateur.The object of the present invention is to create a shoe, in particular a sport shoe or more generally a technical shoe which, at the option of the user, can be relatively flexible to facilitate normal walking and, moreover, be made rigid to facilitate the practice of certain exercises or works; and which, moreover, is easy to implement for the user.

Selon la figure 1, 1a chaussure haute se compose d'une semelle 1 et d'une tige 2 ainsi que d'un dessus 3.According to FIG. 1, the high shoe consists of a sole 1 and a upper 2 as well as a top 3.

De part et d'autre de la chaussure, un en­semble de lacets 4, 5, 6 relie différentes parties de la chaussure comme cela sera explicité ci-après, pour en assurer le serrage ou le desserage.On either side of the shoe, a set of laces 4, 5, 6 connects different parts of the shoe as will be explained below, to ensure tightening or loosening.

La chaussure comporte un ensemble de support et de commande 7, décrite de manière détaillée ci-­après, qui sert à tendre et à détendre les lacets pour serrer la chaussure sur le pied ou l'ouvrir et permet­tre de dégager le pied. De manière habituelle, une chaussure de ski comporte une tige formée schématique­ment d'une partie avant et d'une partie arrière mobi­les l'une par rapport à l'autre pour permettre le chaussage. La présente chaussure possède une structure de ce type. La chaussure comporte également un élément de rigidification débrayable 8.The shoe has a support assembly and control 7, described in detail below, which serves to tension and relax the laces to tighten the shoe on the foot or open it and allow to release the foot. Usually, a ski boot has a rod formed schematically with a front part and a rear part which can move relative to one another to allow the boot to be put on. The present shoe has a structure of this type. The shoe also includes a disengageable stiffening element 8.

De manière plus détaillée, l'organe de sup­port et de commande 7 se compose d'un châssis 9 situé devant la jambe et coopérant avec un élément d'appui arrière 10 recevant le mollet. Cet élément 10 est re­lié au châssis par l'intermédiaire du lacet 4.In more detail, the support and control member 7 consists of a chassis 9 located in front of the leg and cooperating with a rear support element 10 receiving the calf. This element 10 is connected to the chassis via the lace 4.

Un berceau souple 11 est relié de manière mobile au châssis 9. Ce berceau souple 11 est consti­tué par une nappe de matière souple de préférence non extensible ou difficilement extensible et qui forme un appui venant contre la partie avant de la jambe. Le berceau 11 évite que la partie avant de la jambe ne puisse rencontrer le châssis 9. Le berceau souple 11 est relié au châssis 9 par l'intermédiaire de deux points de fixation 12 dont un seul est représenté, d'un côté de la chaussure, l'autre se trouvant de l'autre côtré. Le châssis 9 porte également un berceau 11′ venant coiffer le coup de pied. Le berceau 11′ est relié au châssis 9 par des points de fixation 12′.A flexible cradle 11 is movably connected to the chassis 9. This flexible cradle 11 is constituted by a sheet of flexible material, preferably non-extensible or hardly extensible and which forms a support coming against the front part of the leg. The cradle 11 prevents the front part of the leg from meeting the chassis 9. The flexible cradle 11 is connected to the chassis 9 by means of two fixing points 12, only one of which is shown, on one side of the shoe , the other being on the other side. The chassis 9 also carries a cradle 11 ′ which covers the kick. The cradle 11 ′ is connected to the chassis 9 by fixing points 12 ′.

Ce levier de commande est monté pivotant autour de l'axe 14 sur le châssis 9.The chassis 9 also carries a control lever 13 shown in solid lines in the raised position and in dotted lines 13 ′ in the lowered position. This control lever is pivotally mounted around the axis 14 on the chassis 9.

Le châssis 9 est par exemple en une partie en forme de coquille entourant l'avant du pied ou en­ core en deux parties reliées par l'axe 14 du levier de commande 13.The frame 9 is for example in a shell-shaped part surrounding the front of the foot or in core in two parts connected by the axis 14 of the control lever 13.

Le premier lacet 4 relie un point fixe 15′ en partie haute du châssis 9 à un point fixe 15 du le­vier 13. Ce lacet 4 traverse le châssis 9 par un pas­sage situé sensiblement dans sa partie médiane 16 et l'appui arrière 10 par un passage 101. Le lacet 4 peut coulisser dans les passages 16 et 101 lors des mouve­ments de serrage et de desserrage de la chaussure.The first lace 4 connects a fixed point 15 ′ in the upper part of the chassis 9 to a fixed point 15 of the lever 13. This lace 4 crosses the chassis 9 by a passage located substantially in its middle part 16 and the rear support 10 by a passage 101. The lace 4 can slide in the passages 16 and 101 during the tightening and loosening movements of the shoe.

Le second lacet 5 relie un point 51 situé à l'arrière de la chaussure au niveau du talon à un point fixe 52 du châssis 9, au niveau du coup de pied.The second lace 5 connects a point 51 located at the rear of the shoe at the heel to a fixed point 52 of the chassis 9, at the kick.

Le troisième lacet 6 relie un point fixe 61 de la chaussure au niveau de la semelle près de l'ar­ticulation 17 du pied à un second point fixe 62 du châssis 9 également au niveau du coup de pied. Selon un mode de réalisation préférentiel, les deuxième et troisième lacets 5, 6 sont croisés en position de ser­rage, ce qui facilite la mise en tension des lacets.The third lace 6 connects a fixed point 61 of the shoe at the sole near the articulation 17 of the foot to a second fixed point 62 of the frame 9 also at the kick. According to a preferred embodiment, the second and third laces 5, 6 are crossed in the clamping position, which facilitates the tensioning of the laces.

Il est à remarquer que le terme "lacet" à une signification générale et désigne un fil ou câble susceptible de s'allonger très peu dans les conditions d'utilisation. Ce lacet peut être relativement rigide.It should be noted that the term "lace" has a general meaning and designates a wire or cable capable of elongating very little under the conditions of use. This lace can be relatively rigid.

De même, les termes "point fixe" sont utili­sés pour désigner l'accrochage des extrémités des la­cets par opposition à des passages permettant le cou­lissement.Likewise, the terms "fixed point" are used to designate the attachment of the ends of the laces as opposed to passages allowing sliding.

Enfin, comme déjà indiqué, l'ensemble des lacets se compose de lacets prévus de part et d'autre de la chaussure ; seuls les lacets apparaissant d'un côté ont été représentés et décrits.Finally, as already indicated, the set of laces is made up of laces provided on either side of the shoe; only the laces appearing on one side have been represented and described.

Pour faciliter les mouvements et améliorer la tenue, il est intéressant que le lacet 4 entoure l'arrière de la chaussure en allant du côté extérieur de la chaussure vers le côté intérieur. Dans ces con­ ditions, l'autre premier lacet décrira un chemin symé­trique et les deux premiers lacets se croiseront à l'arrière de la chaussure. Cette disposition favorise également l'effet de laçage.To facilitate movement and improve hold, it is advantageous for the lace 4 to surround the rear of the shoe, going from the outside of the shoe to the inside. In these con ditions, the other first lace will describe a symmetrical path and the first two laces will cross at the back of the shoe. This arrangement also promotes the lacing effect.

Comme indiqué ci-dessus, le lacet 4 est ac­croché au levier 13 ; lorsque ce levier occupe la po­sition représentée en trait plein, le lacet est tendu alors que s'il occupe la position rabattue 13′, le la­cet est détendu. Dans l'une des positions, la chaussu­re est serrée sur le pied, dans l'autre elle est des­serrée et peut s'ouvrir pour permettre le dégagement du pied.As indicated above, the lace 4 is hooked to the lever 13; when this lever occupies the position shown in solid lines, the lace is tensioned while if it occupies the folded position 13 ′, the lace is relaxed. In one of the positions, the shoe is tightened on the foot, in the other it is loose and can open to allow the release of the foot.

Dans le mode de réalisation décrit ci-­dessus, le levier 13 passe par une position métastable lorsqu'il est forcé de la position de fermeture à la position d'ouverture ou inversement. Cette position métastable qui résulte simplement de l'exercice de la tension sur les lacets assure la stabilité du levier de commande en évitant, sauf cas exceptionnel, son ou­verture intempestive.In the embodiment described above, the lever 13 passes through a metastable position when it is forced from the closed position to the open position or vice versa. This metastable position, which simply results from the exercise of tension on the laces, ensures the stability of the control lever by preventing, except in exceptional cases, its untimely opening.

Il est également intéressant que l'axe d'ar­ticulation (ou les deux axes d'articulation du levier 13 sur la coquille 9 surtout si cette coquille est en deux parties, soit dirigé de façon telle que lorsque le levier 13 est en position 13′, les deux parties de la coquille 9 s'écartent pour faciliter le chaussage ou le déchaussage.It is also interesting that the articulation axis (or the two articulation axes of the lever 13 on the shell 9 especially if this shell is in two parts, is directed in such a way that when the lever 13 is in position 13 ′ , the two parts of the shell 9 move apart to facilitate putting on or taking off.

Dans sa partie inférieure, la chaussure com­porte une talonnière 18 souple reliant la face arrière de la chaussure au niveau 181 de la cheville à la par­tie inférieure du châssis 9, de part et d'autre du coup de pied en un point fixe 182.In its lower part, the shoe comprises a flexible heel piece 18 connecting the rear face of the shoe at level 181 of the ankle to the lower part of the chassis 9, on either side of the kick at a fixed point 182.

Lors de son introduction dans la chaussure, le pied appuie sur cette talonnière 18 et tire sur le châssis 9 entraînant la fermeture de la tige de la chaussure. Comme représenté, la talonnière se compose d'une partie arrière se poursuivant par un fond lui­même relié aux points 182 par deux branches.When it is inserted into the shoe, the foot presses on this heel piece 18 and pulls on the chassis 9 causing the stem of the shoe. As shown, the heel piece consists of a rear part continuing with a bottom itself connected to the points 182 by two branches.

L'élément de rigidification débrayable 8 est destiné à assurer la rigidité de la chaussure au ni­veau de son articulation 17 et surtout de l'articula­tion malléolaire non représentée.The disengageable stiffening element 8 is intended to ensure the rigidity of the shoe at its articulation 17 and especially of the malleolar articulation not shown.

Selon un mode de réalisation représenté (fi­gures 1 et 2), cet élément de rigidification débraya­ble se compose de deux éléments latéraux 81 rigides situés de chaque côté de la chaussure et reliés entre eux à l'arrière de la chaussure par un élément articu­lé 82. Cet élément articulé 82 peut être soit une sim­ple articulation portée par la partie arrière de la tige de la chaussure, soit une pièce munie d'une arti­culation pour chaque élément latéral 81. Dans ce der­nier cas, les articulations peuvent être avancées la­téralement. Un organe formant butée 83 est fixé à l'a­vant de la chaussure pour coopérer avec chacun des éléments latéraux. Cet organe 83 qui constitue une bu­tée élastique contre laquelle s'appuient les éléments 81 lorsque l'utilisateur effectue un mouvement de flexion vers l'avant, comporte des moyens de guidage 84 et un moyen d'accrochage escamotable 85.According to an embodiment shown (FIGS. 1 and 2), this disengageable stiffening element consists of two rigid lateral elements 81 situated on each side of the shoe and connected together at the rear of the shoe by an articulated element 82. This articulated element 82 can be either a simple articulation carried by the rear part of the upper of the shoe, or a part provided with an articulation for each lateral element 81. In the latter case, the articulations can be advanced laterally. A stop member 83 is fixed to the front of the shoe to cooperate with each of the lateral elements. This member 83 which constitutes an elastic stop against which the elements 81 bear when the user performs a forward bending movement, comprises guide means 84 and a retractable hooking means 85.

Selon le mode de réalisation non représenté, les organes de guidage 84 contre lesquels s'appuient les éléments rigides 81 en position embrayée, sont montés coulissant contre l'action d'un ressort de rap­pel. Ce ressort peut également rappeler l'organe d'ac­crochage.According to the embodiment not shown, the guide members 84 against which the rigid elements 81 bear in the engaged position, are mounted to slide against the action of a return spring. This spring can also recall the fastening member.

Suivant une variante du mode de réalisation ci-dessus, le guidage se fait sur deux tiges fixées à l'avant de la chaussure et dirigées vers l'arrière, de manière inclinée pour être sensiblement dans le pro­longement des éléments rigides mis en position em­ brayée. Dans ce cas, les organes de guidage 84 sont portés par un élément coulissant sur les deux tiges portant chacune au moins un ressort de dureté régla­ble. Il est également possible de prévoir un ressort de part de d'autre de l'élément coulissant.According to a variant of the above embodiment, the guidance is on two rods fixed to the front of the shoe and directed towards the rear, in an inclined manner so as to be substantially in the extension of the rigid elements placed in the em position. crossed out. In this case, the guide members 84 are carried by a sliding element on the two rods each carrying at least one spring of adjustable hardness. It is also possible to provide a spring on either side of the sliding element.

L'élément de rigidification 8 est complété par un organe de liaison et de guidage 86 par exemple en forme de boucle de câble élastique. Les deux extré­mités 87 de la boucle sont reliées aux extrémités des éléments latéraux 81 et le corps de la boucle 86 est guidé dans son mouvement d'avancée et de recul (flèche A) par les moyens de guidage 84.The stiffening element 8 is completed by a connecting and guiding member 86 for example in the form of an elastic cable loop. The two ends 87 of the loop are connected to the ends of the lateral elements 81 and the body of the loop 86 is guided in its forward and backward movement (arrow A) by the guide means 84.

Le moyen d'accrochage escamotable 85 est pi­votant élastiquement dans la direction de la flèche B. Cet organe 85 comporte un bord d'accrochage 85A autour duquel vient se mettre la boucle de l'organe 86 pour s'y accrocher large, l'organe 85 est relevé.The retractable hooking means 85 is pivoted elastically in the direction of the arrow B. This member 85 has a hooking edge 85A around which comes the loop of the member 86 to hang wide, the member 85 is raised.

Pour décrocher la boucle, il suffit d'enfon­cer l'élément 85 en appuyant sur la surface 85B.To unhook the buckle, simply push in the element 85 by pressing on the surface 85B.

Les figures 3A, 3B montrent une autre va­riante de réalisation de l'élément de rigidification débrayable 8. Cette figure ne montre qu'une partie de cet élément, à savoir l'élément latéral 81′ terminé par une encoche 81′A et l'organe formant butée 83′. L'organe de liaison 86′ porté par l'organe 83′ compor­te deux bras 86′A, 86′B terminés par des crochets des­tinés à se loger dans les encoches 81′A.FIGS. 3A, 3B show another alternative embodiment of the disengageable stiffening element 8. This figure shows only part of this element, namely the lateral element 81 ′ terminated by a notch 81′A and the stop member 83 ′. The connecting member 86 ′ carried by the member 83 ′ comprises two arms 86′A, 86′B terminated by hooks intended to be housed in the notches 81′A.

Le verrouillage et le déverrouillage néces­sitent que l'on appuie sur l'une ou l'autre des par­ties 86′C, 86′D pour faire basculer l'organe 86′ dans un sens ou dans l'autre.Locking and unlocking require that one presses on one or the other of the parts 86′C, 86′D in order to tilt the member 86 ′ in one direction or the other.

Les figures 3A, 3B montrent également les ressorts 90 donnant l'élasticité à la butée 83′.FIGS. 3A, 3B also show the springs 90 giving the elasticity to the stop 83 ′.

Quel que soit le mode de réalisation, l'élé­ment de rigidification peut prendre deux états.Whatever the embodiment, the stiffening element can take two states.

Le fonctionnement de la chaussure décrite ci-dessus est le suivant, d'abord lors du chaussage puis lors du déchaussage.The operation of the shoe described above is as follows, first during putting on and then during taking off.

Dans l'un des états, la chaussure est rigi­difiée, dans l'autre, elle est souple et l'articula­tion 17 peut pleinement jouer.In one of the states, the shoe is stiffened, in the other, it is flexible and the joint 17 can fully play.

Cet élément de rigidification 8 et surtout la partie avant 83 comportent un moyen élastique per­mettant une certaine élasticité à la compression pour les mouvements de flexion de la chaussure tout en conservant la rigidité de la partie de la semelle.This stiffening element 8 and especially the front part 83 comprise an elastic means allowing a certain elasticity in compression for the flexion movements of the shoe while retaining the rigidity of the part of the sole.

Chaussage : Footwear :

La chaussure est ouverte : l'utilisateur y glisse son pied et enfonce par ce mouvement la talon­nière 18 qui fait basculer le châssis 9 sous l'effet également de la poussée du pied contre le berceau 11′. Les lacets 5, 6 sont alors tendus et le pied est main­tenu d'autant plus que le mouvement du châssis 9 a également commandé la fermeture de la partie haute de la tige.The shoe is open: the user slides his foot into it and pushes in this movement the heel piece 18 which causes the chassis 9 to tilt, also under the effect of the push of the foot against the cradle 11 ′. The laces 5, 6 are then stretched and the foot is maintained all the more since the movement of the chassis 9 has also commanded the closing of the upper part of the upper.

Pour compléter la fermeture, il suffit de relever le levier 13 en passant au delà de sa position métastable.To complete the closure, it suffices to raise the lever 13 passing beyond its metastable position.

L'utilisateur peut maintenant bloquer com­plètement la chaussure et la transformer en chaussure de ski en effectuant un mouvement de fléchissement de la jambe. L'organe de liaison 86 avant et s'accroche à l'organe d'accrochage 85 de sorte que l'élément de ri­gidification est alors bloqué. Seule subsiste l'élas­ticité de l'élément de rigidification.The user can now completely block the boot and transform it into a ski boot by bending the leg. The connecting member 86 before and hooks to the hooking member 85 so that the stiffening element is then blocked. Only the elasticity of the stiffening element remains.

Pour débloquer la chaussure, il suffit d'es­camoter l'organe d'accrochage 85 pour libérer l'organe de liaison 86 et débrayer l'élément de rigidification 8. La chaussure présente alors une certaine souplesse.To unlock the shoe, it suffices to retract the fastening member 85 to release the connecting member 86 and disengage the stiffening element 8. The shoe then has a certain flexibility.

Il est possible d'avoir encore plus de sou­ plesse en abaissant le levier 13.It is possible to have even more money crashes by lowering the lever 13.

Déchaussage : Heaving :

L'organe 8 étant débrayé et le levier 13 abaissé, le lacet 4 est distendu. Le pied peut sortir de la chaussure, la libération de la talonnière 18 fa­cilitant l'ouverture complète de la chaussure.The member 8 being disengaged and the lever 13 lowered, the lace 4 is distended. The foot can come out of the shoe, the release of the heel piece 18 facilitating the complete opening of the shoe.
