Description

La présente invention a pour objet un élément de renfort pour une chaussure de sport et notamment sport de glisse tel que le surf des neige.The subject of the present invention is a reinforcing element for a sports shoe and in particular a sliding sport such as snowboarding.

Dans de tels sports et notamment de surf des neige, ou snowboard, la chaussure qui assure la liaison du pied et de la jambe de l'utilisateur à l'engin de glisse, doit concilier des exigences de souplesse pour des buts de confort et de flexion dans certaines directions, mais également de rigidité dans d'autres directions pour limiter la flexion de la jambe dans lesdites directions, assurer une tenue suffisante de la cheville et du bas de jambe de l'utilisateur.In such sports and in particular snowboarding, or snowboarding, the boot which ensures the connection of the user's foot and leg to the gliding device, must reconcile requirements flexibility for comfort and flex in certain directions, but also stiffness in other directions to limit the flexion of the leg in said directions, ensure sufficient grip of the user's ankle and lower leg.

En ce qui concerne le surf des neige, les fonctions support, limitation de flexion sont généralement assurées par le système de fixation de la chaussure et la planche de surf, qui est constitué d'éléments rigides en forme de coque enveloppant plus ou moins la chaussure.With regard to snowboarding, the support, bending limitation functions are generally provided by the shoe fastening system and the surfboard, which is consisting of rigid shell-shaped elements more or less enveloping the shoe.

Ce type de fixation permet donc de conserver des chaussures très souples.This type of binding therefore makes it possible to keep very flexible shoes.

Par ailleurs, ces chaussures sont généralement constituées d'une chaussure, ou botte externe, comportant une semelle externe et une tige externe, et d'un chausson interne, c'est-à-dire d'une enveloppe extrêmement souple couvrant complètement le pied et le bas de jambe et destinée à procurer le confort nécessaire.Furthermore, these shoes generally consist of a shoe, or boot outer, comprising an outer sole and an outer upper, and an inner boot, that is to say an extremely flexible covering completely covering the foot and lower leg and intended to provide the necessary comfort.

Ces chaussons internes présentent l'inconvénient de s'affaisser au cours de leur utilisation du fait de la souplesse des matériaux les constituant et des sollicitations répétées dont ils sont l'objet, notamment lors du serrage de la chaussure et de la fixation. Diverses solutions ont été proposées pour remédier à ces inconvénients.These internal slippers have the drawback of sagging during use due to the flexibility of the materials constituting them and the repeated stresses of which they are the object, especially when tightening the shoe and fastening. Various solutions have been proposed to remedy these drawbacks.

Ainsi, il est commercialisé sous la dénomination commerciale Dakine un renfort plastique talon associé à une sangle de serrage cou de pied, destiné à être inséré dans une chaussure de surf entre le chausson interne et la tige externe afin de rigidifier la zone du talon et éviter l'affaissement du chausson provoqué par le serrage sur le dessus du chausson.Thus, it is marketed under the trade name Dakine a plastic reinforcement heel associated with a instep tightening strap, intended to be inserted in a shoe surf between the inner liner and the outer upper to stiffen the heel area and avoid sagging of the liner caused by tightening on the top of the liner.

Un tel renfort permet certes de résoudre un problème ponctuel d'affaissement du chausson au niveau du talon, mais ne résout pas les autres problèmes mentionnés ci-avant.Such reinforcement certainly solves a specific problem of sagging of the liner. in the heel, but does not solve the other problems mentioned above.

Le WO 97/45033 prévoit un dispositif de renforcement pour chaussure de ski ou de surf des neige ayant sensiblement un profil en forme de L et destiné à être inséré dans la chaussure de façon à s'étendre de façon continue sous la plante des pieds et à l'arrière du bas de jambe.WO 97/45033 provides a reinforcement device for ski or snowboard boots snow having a substantially L-shaped profile and intended to be inserted into the shoe so as to extend continuously under the soles of the feet and at the back of the lower leg.

Un tel dispositif permet certes d'augmenter la rigidité d'avant en arrière de la chaussure mais ne résout pas les autres problèmes évoqués ci-avant.Such a device certainly makes it possible to increase the stiffness from front to back of the shoe but does not solve the other problems mentioned above.

Il ne permet notamment aucun maintien en direction transversale, et ne résout pas le problème d'affaissement du chausson. Un autre problème, que l'on rencontre notamment en snowboard, mais qui peut également se trouver dans d'autres sports de glisse est que selon les pratiques, half pipe, freeride, freestyle, exercées, l'utilisateur souhaite avoir des rigidités différentes de la chaussure à la fois en terme de direction et d'intensité.In particular, it does not allow any maintenance in transverse direction, and does not resolve the sagging problem of the liner. Another problem, which is encountered in particular in snowboarding, but which can also be found in other board sports is that according to practical, half pipe, freeride, freestyle, exercised, the user wishes to have rigidities different from the shoe both in terms of direction and intensity.

Le but de la présente invention est de remédier à ces inconvénients et de fournir un élément de renfort perfectionné permettant notamment de résoudre les problèmes d'affaissement du chausson et/ou de fournir une rigidité/résistance à la flexion améliorées dans des directions privilégiées.The object of the present invention is to remedy these drawbacks and to provide an element of improved reinforcement allowing in particular to resolve the problems of subsidence of the liner and / or provide improved stiffness / flexural strength in directions privileged.

Un autre but de la présente invention est également de permettre une adaptation facile d'une chaussure de sport de glisse et notamment de snowboard aux différents types de pratique.Another object of the present invention is also to allow easy adaptation a sliding sports shoe and in particular snowboard with different types of convenient.

Ce but est atteint par l'élément de renfort selon l'invention qui est du type comprenant une chaussure externe et un chausson interne, la chaussure externe comportant une semelle externe et une tige externe, le chausson interne comportant une enveloppe chaussante couvrant le pied et la jambe, le renfort comportant une partie basse formant contrefort talon et munie d'une sangle de serrage afin d'éviter l'affaissement de la tige et de maintenir le talon en place, par le fait que le renfort comporte également une partie haute s'étendant vers le haut depuis la partie basse et comportant une paroi dorsale et deux parois latérales entourant le bas de jambe.This object is achieved by the reinforcing element according to the invention which is of the type comprising a outer shoe and an inner shoe, the outer shoe having a sole outer and an outer upper, the inner boot having a footwear envelope covering the foot and the leg, the reinforcement comprising a lower part forming a heel counter and fitted with a tightening strap to prevent sagging of the upper and to keep the heel in place place, by the fact that the reinforcement also has a top part extending upwards from the lower part and comprising a back wall and two side walls surrounding the bottom leg.

En effet, un tel élément de renfort participe au maintien latéral du bas de jambe de l'utilisateur et tout en évitant l'affaissement du chausson notamment dans la zone talon.Indeed, such a reinforcing element participates in the lateral support of the lower leg of the user and while avoiding sagging of the liner, especially in the heel area.

Selon un mode de réalisation préféré, chacune des parois latérales est munie sur son bord avant de moyens de liaison au chausson. Une telle construction permet en effet d'augmenter la raideur de l'ensemble chausson/chaussure dans la direction longitudinale, -aussi bien vers l'avant que vers l'arrière- , par la solidarisation élément de renfort/chausson obtenue.According to a preferred embodiment, each of the side walls is provided on its edge before means of connection to the liner. Such a construction indeed makes it possible to increase the stiffness of the slipper / shoe assembly in the longitudinal direction, -as well towards forward and backward, by securing the reinforcing element / liner obtained.

De toute façon l'invention sera mieux comprise et d'autres caractéristiques de celle-ci seront mises en évidence à l'aide de la description qui va suivre en référence au dessin schématique annexé en illustrant à titre d'exemples non limitatifs plusieurs modes de réalisation et dans lesquels:

  • la figure 1 est une vue en perspective avec arraché partiel d'une chaussure incorporant un chausson et un élément de renfort,
  • la figure 2 est une vue en perspective d'un chausson et d'un élément de renfort avant assemblage,
  • la figure 3 est une vue similaire à la figure 2 d'un chausson et d'un élément de renfort après assemblage,

  • la figure 5 est une vue similaire à la figure 3 de l'ensemble chausson/élément de renfort de la figure 4,
  • la figure 6 est une vue similaire à la figure 1 montrant un autre exemple d'application de l'invention.
In any case, the invention will be better understood and other characteristics thereof will be highlighted with the aid of the description which follows with reference to the appended schematic drawing, illustrating by way of nonlimiting examples several modes of realization and in which:
  • FIG. 1 is a perspective view with partial cutaway of a shoe incorporating a liner and a reinforcing element,
  • FIG. 2 is a perspective view of a liner and of a reinforcing element before assembly,
  • FIG. 3 is a view similar to FIG. 2 of a liner and of a reinforcement element after assembly,

  • FIG. 5 is a view similar to FIG. 3 of the liner / reinforcement element assembly of FIG. 4,
  • Figure 6 is a view similar to Figure 1 showing another example of application of the invention.

La figure 1 montre une chaussure incorporant l'élément de renfort selon l'invention. Cette chaussure se compose d'une chaussure externe 10, de type botte, d'un chausson interne 20 et d'un élément de renfort 30. Figure 1 shows a shoe incorporating the reinforcing element according to the invention. This shoe consists of an external shoe 10, of the boot type, an internal shoe 20 and a reinforcing element 30.

La chaussure externe 10 est constituée d'une tige externe 11 et d'une semelle externe 12. La tige externe 11 est une tige haute qui monte au-dessus de la cheville et enveloppe le bas de jambe de l'utilisateur. Elle est munie à l'avant d'une ouverture longitudinale 13 destinée à permettre la mise en place/enlèvement du pied et munie de moyens de fermeture tels qu'un laçage 14.The outer shoe 10 consists of an outer upper 11 and an outer sole 12. The external rod 11 is a high rod which rises above the ankle and envelops the bottom of user's leg. It is provided at the front with a longitudinal opening 13 intended for allow the establishment / removal of the foot and provided with closing means such as a lacing 14.

La tige externe 11 est de préférence en un matériau souple tel que cuir/textile épais, présentant néanmoins des qualités de résistance à l'abrasion et à l'usure et une certaine tenue mécanique.The outer rod 11 is preferably made of a flexible material such as thick leather / textile, nevertheless exhibiting abrasion and wear resistance qualities and a certain resistance mechanical.

Comme le montrent notamment les figures 2 et 3, le chausson intérieur 20 est constitué d'une enveloppe chaussante comportant une partie basse 21 couvrant le pied et une partie haute 22 couvrant le bas de jambe, ces deux parties étant reliées de façon continue. A l'avant, le chausson 20 comporte par ailleurs une ouverture longitudinale 23 pour l'introduction du pied, à laquelle est associé un système de serrage 24 par laçage constitué d'une série de passants 25 fixés de chaque côté des bords de l'ouverture longitudinale 23, et recevant un lacet 26.As shown in particular in Figures 2 and 3, the inner liner 20 is constituted a footwear envelope comprising a lower part 21 covering the foot and a part upper 22 covering the lower leg, these two parts being connected continuously. In the front, the liner 20 also has a longitudinal opening 23 for the introduction of the foot, to which is associated a tightening system 24 by lacing consisting of a series of loops 25 fixed on each side of the edges of the longitudinal opening 23, and receiving a lace 26.

Selon un mode de réalisation préféré, quoique non obligatoire, un bloqueur de lacet 27 est associé à l'extrémité du lacet 26.According to a preferred embodiment, although not compulsory, a lace blocker 27 is associated with the end of the lace 26.

Bien entendu, un laçage traditionnel, sans bloqueur 27, peut également être envisagé, de même que d'autres moyens de serrage, -par exemple de type autoagrippant-, sans que l'on sorte pour autant du cadre de la présente invention.Of course, a traditional lacing, without blocker 27, can also be envisaged, from same as other clamping means, for example of the Velcro type, without so far from the scope of the present invention.

Le chausson 20 est réalisé en tout matériau procurant la souplesse et le confort souhaité et notamment en mousse PU, PE,...etc.The liner 20 is made of any material providing the desired flexibility and comfort and especially in PU, PE foam, etc.

L'élément de renfort 30 comporte une partie basse 40 formant contrefort talon et une partie haute 50.The reinforcing element 30 comprises a lower part 40 forming a heel counter and a part high 50.

La partie basse 40 comporte deux parois latérales 41 reliées par une partie semelle 42 destinée à être placée sous la partie pied 21 du chausson 20 et une ceinture arrière 43 entourant le dessus du talon et reliant les deux parois latérales 41 par l'arrière.The lower part 40 has two side walls 41 connected by a sole part 42 intended to be placed under the foot part 21 of the liner 20 and a rear belt 43 surrounding the top of the heel and connecting the two side walls 41 from the rear.

Chaque paroi latérale 41 s'étend verticalement le long du pied d'un utilisateur depuis sa zone plantaire jusqu'à sa zone cou de pied.Each side wall 41 extends vertically along the foot of a user from its plantar area up to the instep area.

Les deux parois 41 sont munies, au niveau de leur bord supérieur 45, de moyens d'accrochage, en l'occurrence un système de sangles 44 autoagrippantes, qui s'étendent dans la zone du cou de pied de l'utilisateur et permettent un serrage autour du pied par rapprochement relatif des bords 45 de ces parois.The two walls 41 are provided, at their upper edge 45, with means hooking, in this case a system of hook-and-loop straps 44, which extend in the user instep area and allow tightening around the foot by bringing together relative of the edges 45 of these walls.

On notera que la zone de la partie basse 40 correspondant au talon proprement dit comporte un évidemment 46 pour plus de confort.Note that the area of the lower part 40 corresponding to the heel proper comprises an obviously 46 for more comfort.

La partie haute 50 du contrefort comporte deux parois latérales 51 s'étendant verticalement depuis l'évidement 46 et la ceinture arrière 43, de façon à entourer et soutenir le bas de jambe de l'utilisateur. Les deux parois latérales 51 sont reliées à l'arrière par une paroi dorsale 52. The upper part 50 of the buttress has two side walls 51 extending vertically from the recess 46 and the rear belt 43, so as to surround and support the lower leg of the user. The two side walls 51 are connected at the rear by a back wall 52.

Chacune des parois latérales 51 comporte sur son bord avant des moyens de liaison au chausson 20 constitués en l'occurrence par des moyens de passage du lacet 26 du chausson 20, à savoir des passants 55.Each of the side walls 51 has on its front edge means for connection to the liner 20 in this case formed by means of passage of the lace 26 of liner 20, namely passersby 55.

Ces passants 55 peuvent ainsi coopérer en serrage avec le lacet 26 du chausson, celui-ci passant alternativement sur les passants 25 du chausson et ceux 55 de l'élément de renfort 30.These passers-by 55 can thus cooperate in tightening with the lace 26 of the liner, the latter passing alternately on the loops 25 of the liner and those 55 of the reinforcing element 30.

De cette manière, la partie haute 50 du renfort 30 participe non seulement à un maintien latéral, c'est-à-dire en direction transversale, de la cheville et du bas de jambe, mais fournit également, du fait de sa participation au serrage du chausson, une résistance à une flexion, aussi bien vers l'avant que vers l'arrière, de la jambe.In this way, the upper part 50 of the reinforcement 30 not only participates in maintaining lateral, i.e. in transverse direction, from the ankle and lower leg, but provides also, due to its participation in tightening the liner, resistance to bending, both forwards and backwards, from the leg.

La partie haute 50 permet donc également de moduler la raideur, en flexion avant/arrière, de la chaussure, ainsi que de fournir un appui arrière.The upper part 50 therefore also makes it possible to modulate the stiffness, in front / rear bending, of the shoe, as well as providing rear support.

En effet, en l'absence de l'élément de renfort 30 la chaussure peut être très souple, tandis que l'adjonction de cet élément de renfort permet de raidir celle-ci aussi bien en direction transversale, qu'en direction longitudinale.In fact, in the absence of the reinforcing element 30, the shoe can be very flexible, while that the addition of this reinforcing element makes it possible to stiffen it as well in the direction transverse, than in longitudinal direction.

Selon le mode de surf pratiqué, différents éléments de renfort 30, avec des raideurs variées aussi bien en direction longitudinale que transversale, pourront être prévus pour adapter la raideur de la chaussure au type de pratique. Dans tous les cas la raideur de l'élément de renfort 30 sera supérieure à celle du chausson 20 dans au moins une direction longitudinale ou transversale.According to the surfing mode practiced, different reinforcing elements 30, with varying stiffnesses both in longitudinal and transverse direction, can be provided to adapt the stiffness of the shoe to the type of practice. In all cases the stiffness of the reinforcing element 30 will be greater than that of the liner 20 in at least one longitudinal direction or transverse.

On notera également que la partie dorsale 52 est de préférence munie de fentes latérales verticales 54 à sa partie supérieure 53 de façon à fournir un appui arrière progressif.It will also be noted that the dorsal part 52 is preferably provided with lateral slots vertical 54 at its upper part 53 so as to provide progressive rear support.

Les figures 4 à 5 montrent l'application du renfort selon l'invention à une chaussure de surf du même type que celle des figures 1 à 3, les éléments similaires ou équivalents étant désignés par les mêmes références, la seule différence résidant dans le fait que le chausson interne 20 est du type injecté avec ouverture latérale et dépourvu de moyens de laçage.Figures 4 to 5 show the application of the reinforcement according to the invention to a surf boot of the same type as that of FIGS. 1 to 3, similar or equivalent elements being designated by the same references, the only difference being that the inner liner 20 is of the injected type with lateral opening and devoid of lacing means.

Dans ce cas, l'élément de renfort 30 comporte outre les passants 55, un lacet 56, auquel est associé un bloqueur de lacet 57. Cette disposition permet de serrer l'élément de renfort 30 sur le chausson 20, même en l'absence de moyens de serrage sur ce dernier, et de conserver les fonctions de raidissement vers l'avant et vers l'arrière et d'appui arrière évoquées précédemment.In this case, the reinforcing element 30 comprises, in addition to the loops 55, a lace 56, to which is associated with a lace blocker 57. This arrangement makes it possible to tighten the reinforcement element 30 on the liner 20, even in the absence of tightening means on the latter, and to keep the stiffening functions forwards and backwards and rear support mentioned previously.

Dans les deux modes de réalisation décrits, le système de laçage est un système de laçage rapide avec lacet, respectivement 26, 56, bloqueur de lacet, respectivement 27, 57. Dans ce cas, la désolidarisation de l'élément de renfort 30 relativement au chausson par desserrage peut être obtenue très facilement et rapidement en débloquant le bloqueur respectivement 56, 57, et en le remontant le long du lacet respectivement 26, 27, ce qui permet alors d'assouplir considérablement le haut de la chaussure, et de lui rendre sa flexibilité avant/arrière pour une marche à pied plus confortable et facile.In the two embodiments described, the lacing system is a lacing system fast with yaw, respectively 26, 56, yaw locker, respectively 27, 57. In this case, the separation of the reinforcing element 30 relative to the liner by loosening can be obtained very easily and quickly by unlocking the blocker respectively 56, 57, and by raising it along the lace respectively 26, 27, which then makes it possible to soften considerably the top of the shoe, and give it back / front flexibility for a more comfortable and easy walking.

Bien entendu, d'autres moyens de serrage pouffaient être prévus sans que l'on sorte pour autant du cadre de la présente invention. On peut notamment envisager un serrage par lacet normal, c'est-à-dire sans bloqueur de lacet, ou tout autre mode de serrage, par exemple par moyens autoagrippants, câbles,...etc.Of course, other clamping means could be provided without leaving for as much of the scope of the present invention. One can in particular consider a tightening by lace normal, i.e. without yaw lock, or any other method of tightening, for example by Velcro fasteners, cables, ... etc.

Selon un dernier mode de réalisation avantageux représenté à la figure 6 dans lequel les éléments similaires ou équivalents sont désignés par les mêmes références augmentées de 100, le renfort 130 peut être prévu de façon à être disposé à l'extérieur de la chaussure externe 110, c'est-à-dire entre celle-ci et le dispositif de fixation 100. Dans ce cas, le renfort 130 pourra également comporter des passants 155 apte à coopérer avec des moyens de laçage 114 de la chaussure externe 110 pour une participation au serrage de la chaussure.According to a last advantageous embodiment represented in FIG. 6 in which the similar or equivalent elements are designated by the same references increased by 100, the reinforcement 130 can be provided so as to be disposed outside of the external shoe 110, that is to say between the latter and the fixing device 100. In this case, the reinforcement 130 may also include passers-by 155 capable of cooperating with lacing means 114 of the external shoe 110 for participation in tightening the shoe.

Bien entendu, la présente invention n'est pas limitée aux exemples de réalisation décrits ci-avant à titre d'exemples non limitatifs mais englobe tous les modes de réalisation similaires ou équivalents. Elle n'est notamment pas limitée à une application à une chaussure de snowboard, mais s'étend à tout type de chaussure de sport, et notamment sport de glisse tel que ski, patin à roulette, patin à glace,...etc., pour laquelle on cherche à remédier aux différents problèmes et notamment à faire varier facilement la raideur de la tige de la chaussure en direction longitudinale et/ou transversale en fonction du type de pratique recherché.Of course, the present invention is not limited to the exemplary embodiments described above by way of nonlimiting examples but encompasses all similar embodiments or equivalent. In particular, it is not limited to an application to a snowboard boot, but extends to any type of sports shoe, and in particular a sliding sport such as skiing, skating, roulette, ice skate, ... etc., for which we seek to remedy the various problems and in particular to easily vary the stiffness of the upper of the shoe towards longitudinal and / or transverse depending on the type of practice sought.
