Abstract

The invention concerns a sole whereof the front part is associated with an extensible material for easily fitting feet of different sizes; the invention also concerns the shoe equipped with such a sole and the method for mounting said shoe. It consists on a sole base (1) comprising openings (4) wherein are urged to be tightly positioned the projections (3) of an extensible part (2). The mounting insole (5) comprises a deformable structure (6) in its front foot part. When the user's foot wears an article provided with such a complex, it exerts a pressure of the edges of the upper (10) causing the sole to be deformed. This deformability of the sole eliminates the sensation that the foot is compressed. The inventive device is particularly designed to produce footwear capable of being adapted to feet with different shapes.

Description

Semelle à structure extensible, article chaussant muni d'une telle semelle et son procédé de montage Sole with extensible structure, footwear provided with such a sole and its mounting method
La présente invention concerne une semelle de chaussure permettant de chausser avec aisance différentes largeurs de pieds ; elle concerne également la chaussure équipée d'une telle semelle ainsi que le procédé de montage de cette chaussure. Les chaussures sont traditionnellement fabriquées avec une largeur choisie par le fabricant. Cette largeur est plus ou moins importante mais elle est prédéterminée; elle ne varie pas en fonction de la largeur du pied de l'utilisateur.The present invention relates to a shoe sole for fitting with ease different widths of feet; it also relates to the shoe fitted with such a sole as well as the method of mounting this shoe. The shoes are traditionally made with a width chosen by the manufacturer. This width is more or less important but it is predetermined; it does not vary depending on the width of the user's foot.
On sait aussi s'adapter à plusieurs largeurs de pieds en fabriquant une partie supérieure en matière élastique, mais sans pouvoir élargir la partie inférieure en contact avec le sol.We also know how to adapt to several foot widths by manufacturing an upper part in elastic material, but without being able to widen the lower part in contact with the ground.
Le dispositif selon l'invention permet de remédier à ces inconvénients. Il comporte en effet selon une première caractéristique, une semelle comprenant au moins une zone extensible dans la partie avant pied; ainsi, lors de l'utilisation, la chaussure fabriquée épouse la largeur anatomiqύe du pied sur sa partie inférieure. Dans la semelle de chaussure conforme à l'invention, la partie avant-pied extensible transversalement est obtenue par moulage (ou collage) sur un fond de semelle d'un ou plusieurs inserts d'un matériau à structure deformable doté d'un potentiel d'élasticité et d'une mémoire de forme adapté au confort souhaité. Cet insert extensible est plat sur la face supérieure et pourvu d'une ou plusieurs saillies sur la face inférieure. Ces saillies sont destinées à s'encastrer dans le fond de semelle.The device according to the invention overcomes these drawbacks. According to a first characteristic, it comprises a sole comprising at least one extendable zone in the forefoot part; thus, during use, the manufactured shoe conforms to the anatomical width of the foot on its lower part. In the shoe sole according to the invention, the transversely extendable forefoot part is obtained by molding (or gluing) on a sole base one or more inserts of a material with a deformable structure endowed with a potential d elasticity and shape memory adapted to the desired comfort. This extendable insert is flat on the upper face and provided with one or more projections on the lower face. These projections are intended to be embedded in the bottom of the sole.
Selon une autre caractéristique, le fond de semelle est fabriqué à partir d'une matière de type classique tel que cuir, élastomère, caoutchouc, polyuréthanne ou tout autre matière traditionnellement utilisée dans la fabrication de semelle de chaussure et présentant des caractéristiques normales de résistance à l'abrasion. Selon une autre caractéristique, le fond de semelle comporte des ouvertures destinées à recevoir les saillies de la face inférieure de l'insert extensible, tout en préservant l'étanchéité de la liaison entre les deux matériaux.According to another characteristic, the sole base is made from a material of the conventional type such as leather, elastomer, rubber, polyurethane or any other material traditionally used in the manufacture of shoe soles and having normal characteristics of resistance to abrasion. According to another characteristic, the sole base has openings intended to receive the projections of the lower face of the extendable insert, while preserving the tightness of the connection between the two materials.
Selon une autre caractéristique, une première de montage est constituée d'une ou plusieurs zones ajourées dans sa partie avant-pied et d'une partie arrière rigide. Cette structure de la partie avant de la première de montage permet la déformation transversale de la zone avant-pied.According to another characteristic, a first assembly consists of one or more perforated zones in its forefoot part and a rigid rear part. This structure of the front part of the first mounting allows the transverse deformation of the forefoot area.
D'autres modes de réalisation de la première de montage peuvent être envisagés. La partie deformable de l'avant-pied pourra être réalisée uniquement par la juxtaposition de fentes longitudinales. Selon un autre mode de réalisation, la partie deformable de l'avant-pied pourra être obtenue par la réalisation d'une ou plusieurs ouvertures longitudinales, celles-ci étant comblées ou non par le moulage ou le collage d'un ou plusieurs inserts en matière extensible.Other embodiments of the first assembly can be envisaged. The deformable part of the forefoot can be produced only by the juxtaposition of longitudinal slots. According to another embodiment, the deformable part of the forefoot can be obtained by making one or more longitudinal openings, these being filled or not by molding or gluing one or more inserts of extensible material.
L'invention concerne aussi l'article chaussant équipé de la semelle extensible venant d'être décrite. Selon une forme de réalisation préférée, cet article chaussant est constitué d'une tige, de la première de montage avec une partie avant-pied deformable et une partie arrière rigide, d'une première de propreté non collée dans sa partie périphérique et de la semelle à insert extensible conforme à la présente invention. Lorsque l'utilisateur chausse un article muni d'un tel complexe, son pied exerce une pression sur les bords de la tige induisant la déformation de la première de montage et de la semelle. Cette capacité de la semelle et de la première de montage à se déformer évite les sensations de compression du pied.The invention also relates to the footwear article fitted with the extensible sole just described. According to a preferred embodiment, this article of footwear consists of a rod, of the first mounting with a deformable forefoot part and a rigid rear part, of a first of cleanliness not glued in its peripheral part and of the sole with extensible insert according to the present invention. When the user puts on an article fitted with such a complex, his foot exerts pressure on the edges of the upper inducing the deformation of the first mounting and of the sole. This ability of the sole and the first mounting to deform prevents feelings of compression of the foot.
Le procédé de montage de cet article chaussant consiste à préparer une première de montage avec une partie rigide à l'arrière et une partie deformable dans la zone avant-pied. Au moyen d'une forme de largeur standard, la tige est montée sur ladite première de montage et collée sur la semelle équipée de son insert extensible.The mounting method for this footwear consists in preparing a first fitting with a rigid part at the rear and a deformable part in the forefoot area. By means of a standard width form, the rod is mounted on said first mounting and glued to the sole fitted with its extendable insert.
On place enfin la première de propreté à l'intérieur de la chaussure.Finally, the first cleanliness is placed inside the shoe.
L'invention est illustrée, sans être aucunement limitée, par la description d'un mode de réalisation particulier, donné à titre d'exemple et représenté sur les dessins annexés dans lesquels : La figure 1 représente la semelle en vue du dessous.The invention is illustrated, without being in any way limited, by the description of a particular embodiment, given by way of example and shown in the appended drawings in which: FIG. 1 shows the sole seen from below.
La figure 2 est une vue en coupe longitudinale de la semelle. La figure 3 est une vue éclatée de l'ensemble fond de semelle, insert élastique et première de montage.Figure 2 is a longitudinal sectional view of the sole. Figure 3 is an exploded view of the bottom of the sole assembly, elastic insert and first assembly.
La figure 4 est une vue en coupe et en perpective d'une chaussure équipée du système.Figure 4 is a sectional and perspective view of a shoe equipped with the system.
La semelle représentée sur les figures 1 et 2 est constituée d'un fond de semelle (1) et d'un insert en matière extensible (2) assemblés par moulage ou par collage afin d'assurer l'étanchéité entre les deux matériaux. Les saillies (3) de Pinsert extensible se positionnent dans les ouvertures (4) pratiquées dans le fond de semelle. Dans l'exemple de réalisation représenté, ce type d'implantation en parallèle permet l'addition des élasticités de chaque saillie (3) . Ce complexe, fond de semelle rigide et insert extensible permet d'obtenir une semelle suffisamment structurée pour s'adapter à une fabrication soudée traditionnelle.The sole shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 consists of a sole base (1) and an insert of extensible material (2) assembled by molding or by gluing in order to ensure sealing between the two materials. The protruding pinsert (3) are positioned in the openings (4) made in the bottom of the sole. In the embodiment shown, this type of parallel installation allows the addition of the elasticities of each projection (3). This complex, rigid sole base and extensible insert provides a sufficiently structured sole to adapt to traditional welded manufacturing.
La figure 3 représente un empilement de supports indépendants avec des propriétés déformables et extensibles. Le fond de semelle (1) en matière rigide est rendu deformable de par les ouvertures (4) pratiquées dans la zone avant-pied. L'insert (2) dont les saillies (3) viennent s'encastrer dans les ouvertures (4) du fond de semelle (1) est un joint d'étanchéité extensible. La première de montage (5) est équipée d'une partie avant-pied rendue deformable par la présence des fentes longitudinales (6) et d'une partie arrière rigide (7) Dans l'ensemble de réalisation représenté sur la figure 4, cette configuration permet de garder l'élasticité sur tous les étages une fois le montage terminé. Le fond de semelle (1), l'insert (2) et la première de montage (5) présentent des caractéristiques extensibles en dehors des zones de collage (9)- . La première intérieure (8) non collée sur sa périphérie ne bloque pas la déformation des couches inférieures. C'est la pression du pied s'appliquant sur les bords extérieurs de la tige (10) qui induit la déformation de l'ensemble des couches extensibles superposées.FIG. 3 represents a stack of independent supports with deformable and extensible properties. The bottom of the sole (1) made of rigid material is made deformable by the openings (4) made in the forefoot area. The insert (2) whose projections (3) are embedded in the openings (4) of the base of the sole (1) is an expandable seal. The first mounting (5) is equipped with a forefoot portion made deformable by the presence of the longitudinal slots (6) and a rigid rear portion (7) In the assembly shown in FIG. 4, this configuration allows to keep the elasticity on all the floors once the assembly is finished. The bottom of the sole (1), the insert (2) and the first mounting (5) have extendable characteristics outside the bonding zones (9) -. The first interior (8) not bonded on its periphery does not block the deformation of the lower layers. It is the pressure of the foot applied to the outer edges of the rod (10) which induces the deformation of all of the superimposed stretch layers.
A titre d'exemple non limitatif, les dimensions de l'insert au niveau des saillies seront de l'ordre de 3.5 mm en épaisseur et de 7mm en largeur. Bien entendu, ces dimensions ne sont qu'indicatives; elles peuvent varier en fonction de la pointure et du confort que l'on désire donner à la chaussure.By way of nonlimiting example, the dimensions of the insert at the level of the projections will be of the order of 3.5 mm in thickness and 7 mm in width. Of course, these dimensions are only indicative; they can vary depending on the size and comfort that you want to give the shoe.
Cette structure de chaussure donne un confort de marche qui convient particulièrement aux "articles pieds sensibles", mais bien entendu cette structure extensible peut-être envisagée pour d'autres types de montage que le soudé ou d'autres types d'articles chaussants. La présente invention est particulièrement destinée à la fabrication de chaussures ayant la capacité de s'adapter à différentes largeurs de pieds. This shoe structure gives a walking comfort which is particularly suitable for "sensitive feet articles", but of course this extensible structure may be envisaged for other types of mounting than the welded or other types of footwear. The present invention is particularly intended for the manufacture of shoes having the capacity to adapt to different widths of feet.
