Abstract
Description
La présente invention concerne un fermoir, notamment pour cordon ou lacet, destiné plus particulièrement à un système de laçage, notamment pour article chaussant du type dans lequel le lacet forme une boucle fermée.The present invention relates to a clasp, especially for cord or lace, intended more particularly to a lacing system, in particular for footwear of the type in which the lace forms a closed loop.
Des systèmes de laçage de ce type sont connus par exemple par le FR 2 706 744. Dans ce document est décrit un système de laçage dans lequel le lacet est ancré par chaque extrémité à l'extrémité d'une zone de laçage d'une chaussure, passe alternativement dans une série de passants disposés le long de la zone de laçage et se termine par une boucle formant une boucle de traction, sur laquelle est enfilé un bloqueur. Dans une telle construction, le serrage de la chaussure s'effectue par traction sur la boucle et blocage du coulissement du lacet à l'aide du bloqueur une fois la tension souhaitée atteinte.Lacing systems of this type are known for example from FR 2,706,744. document is described a lacing system in which the lace is anchored by each end to the end of a lacing zone of a shoe, passes alternatively in a series of loops arranged along the lacing zone and ends with a loop forming a loop traction, on which is threaded a blocker. In such a construction, the clamping of the shoe is made by pulling on the buckle and blocking the sliding of the lace with the help of blocker once the desired voltage is reached.
Dans d'autres modes de réalisation similaires, le lacet forme une boucle complètement fermée, les extrémités du lacet étant assemblées par coutures afin de former une boucle de traction. Dans ce type de construction où le lacet forme une boucle fermée, il devient difficile pour l'utilisateur de reconstituer le système de laçage lorsque le lacet casse. En effet il n'a pas à sa disposition de moyens permettant de joindre ensemble les deux extrémités du lacet par une couture solide.In other similar embodiments, the lace forms a full loop closed, the ends of the lace being stitched together to form a loop of traction. In this type of construction where the lace forms a closed loop, it becomes difficult for the user to restore the lacing system when the lace breaks. Indeed he does not have at its disposal means making it possible to join together the two ends of the lace by a sturdy seam.
Ce problème est encore amplifié lorsque les lacets utilisés sont des lacets très minces et présentant un faible coefficient de frottement sur leur surface externe, comme c'est le cas, par exemple, des lacets dits "Kevlar" (marque déposée) utilisés dans les systèmes de laçage dits rapides qui sont encore plus difficiles à coudre.This problem is further magnified when the laces used are very thin laces and having a low coefficient of friction on their external surface, as is the case, by example, laces known as "Kevlar" (registered trademark) used in the so-called lacing systems quick ones that are even harder to sew.
Un autre problème qui se pose dans les systèmes de laçage dans lequel le lacet forme une
boucle de traction ou préhension, est que la boucle présente un problème de sécurité. En effet
la boucle peut s'accrocher dans des branches, obstacles, etc..., et provoquer la chute d'un
coureur ou encore s'accrocher malencontreusement à l'intérieur d'un bateau, canoë, kayak,
etc..., ce qui peut être particulièrement dangereux dans la pratique de sport en eaux-vives où
l'embarcation peut se retourner et l'utilisateur rester accroché à son embarcation par les lacets.
Ce problème a été résolu en partie dans le brevet FR 2 772 244 au nom de la demanderesse
par la prévision d'une poche de rangement de la boucle du lacet et du bloqueur associé.
Cependant une telle poche n'est pas toujours suffisante pour éviter une sortie intempestive de
la boucle.Another problem that arises in lacing systems in which the lace forms a
Traction loop or gripping, is that the loop presents a security problem. Indeed
the loop can catch in branches, obstacles, etc ..., and cause the fall of a
runner or cling inadvertently inside a boat, canoe, kayak,
etc ..., which can be particularly dangerous in the practice of white water sports where
the boat can turn around and the user remains hooked to his boat by the laces.
This problem has been solved in part in the
Le but de la présente invention est de remédier à ces inconvénients et de fournir un fermoir, notamment pour cordon ou lacet, destiné plus particulièrement à un système de raccordement de deux extrémités d'un lacet, qui soit facile à utiliser, notamment en cas de casse du lacet, et puisse être défait rapidement en cas de danger.The object of the present invention is to overcome these disadvantages and to provide a clasp, especially for cord or lace, intended more particularly for a connection system two ends of a lace, which is easy to use, especially in case of breakage of the lace, and can be defeated quickly in case of danger.
Un autre but de la présente invention est de proposer un fermoir qui puisse être ouvert et fermé facilement en cas de besoin.Another object of the present invention is to provide a clasp that can be opened and closed easily when needed.
Ce but est atteint dans le fermoir notamment pour cordon ou lacet selon l'invention, par le fait qu'il comporte une partie mâle et une partie femelle comportant des moyens de connexion mutuelle, en ce que chaque partie mâle / femelle comporte des moyens de raccordement à une extrémité associée du cordon / lacet et en ce que chaque partie mâle / femelle comporte des moyens de guidage complémentaires en vue de faciliter leur engagement / dégagement.This object is achieved in the clasp, particularly for a cord or lace according to the invention, by the it comprises a male part and a female part comprising connection means mutual, in that each male / female part has connection means to a associated end of the cord / yaw and in that each male / female part has complementary guide means to facilitate their engagement / release.
Ce système de raccordement permet de changer facilement un lacet en cas de casse, puisque la boucle peut être reformée très simplement en utilisant le système de raccordement des extrémités. Selon un mode de réalisation préféré, les moyens de connexion mutuelle sont de type à encliquetage.This connection system makes it easy to change a lace in case of breakage, since the loop can be reformed very simply using the connection system ends. According to a preferred embodiment, the means of mutual connection are snap type.
Le fait que le système de raccordement fonctionne par encliquetage permet également d'offrir une sécurité, puisqu'il s'ouvrira en cas d'effort important.The fact that the connection system operates by snapping also allows to offer security, since it will open in case of major effort.
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 suit en référence au dessin schématique annexé, qui en illustre, à titre d'exemple non limitatif, un mode de réalisation préféré et dans lequel :
- la figure 1 est une vue en perspective d'un système de laçage incorporant un fermoir selon l'invention en position fermée,
- la figure 2 est une vue similaire à la figure 1 en position ouverte du fermoir,
- la figure 3 est une vue en coupe selon III-III de la figure 1,
- la figure 4 est une vue similaire à la figure 3 en position d'ouverture du fermoir,
- les figures 5 et 6 sont des vues similaires à la figure 4 illustrant la mise en place des extrémités du lacet dans le fermoir.
- FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a lacing system incorporating a clasp according to the invention in the closed position,
- FIG. 2 is a view similar to FIG. 1 in the open position of the clasp,
- FIG. 3 is a sectional view on III-III of FIG. 1,
- FIG. 4 is a view similar to FIG. 3 in the open position of the clasp,
- Figures 5 and 6 are views similar to Figure 4 illustrating the establishment of the ends of the lace in the clasp.
La figure 1 montre une chaussure 1 munie d'un lacet 2 équipé d'un fermoir 3 selon
l'invention.FIG. 1 shows a
Le lacet 2 passe alternativement dans une série de passants 5 disposés de part et d'autre
d'une ouverture de chaussage 4 et ses extrémités 2a sont reliées ensemble par le fermoir 3.The
Un bloqueur de lacet 6 de type connu en soi, et décrit par exemple dans le FR 2 706 743,
est monté sur les deux brins du lacet au niveau de l'extrémité supérieure de l'ouverture de
chaussage 4 de façon à bloquer le coulissement du lacet 2 lorsque la tension de serrage
souhaitée est obtenue. Bien entendu tout autre type de bloqueur pourrait être utilisé.A
La partie du lacet 2 située au-delà du bloqueur 6 forme une boucle fermée 2b formant
boucle de traction et permettant d'exercer l'effort de traction nécessaire au serrage de la
chaussure 1, le fermoir 3 servant en même temps de moyen de liaison des extrémités 2a du
lacet et d'élément répartiteur de pression pour exercer un effort sur la boucle de traction 2b.The part of the
La figure 2 montre la même chaussure 1, le fermoir 3 étant ouvert. Le lacet 2 est de
préférence quoique non limitativement un lacet rond, c'est-à-dire un lacet à section
transversale circulaire.Figure 2 shows the
Il pourrait également s'agir d'un lacet plat, c'est-à-dire à section transversale rectangulaire.It could also be a flat lace, that is to say a rectangular cross section.
Ce lacet peut avoir un diamètre plus ou moins important. Dans le cas illustré sur les figures il s'agit de préférence d'un lacet de faible diamètre, de l'ordre de 1,5 mm en matériau résistant tel que des fibres aramides. Il peut également s'agir d'un cordon de type de ceux utilisés pour le serrage de vêtements.This lace may have a larger or smaller diameter. In the case illustrated in the figures it is preferably a lace of small diameter, of the order of 1.5 mm in resistant material such as aramid fibers. It can also be a type cord of those used for tightening clothes.
Le fermoir 3 est représenté de façon détaillée dans les figures 3 à 6.The
Il est formé d'une partie mâle 10 et d'une partie femelle 20 présentant chacun une
enveloppe externe respectivement 17, 27. Chaque partie mâle 10 / femelle 20 comporte des
moyens de raccordement identiques respectivement 11, 21 à une extrémité associée 2a du
lacet / cordon 2, ainsi que des moyens de guidage et de connexion mutuels respectivement 15,
16 ; 25, 26, qui seront décrits ultérieurement.It is formed of a
Les moyens de raccordement 11, 21 comportent chacun un conduit débouchant
respectivement 12, 22 de forme cylindrique ayant un diamètre d1 égal ou légèrement supérieur
au diamètre du lacet 2 de façon à permettre le passage dudit lacet.The connection means 11, 21 each comprise a duct opening
respectively 12, 22 of cylindrical shape having a diameter d1 equal to or slightly greater
to the diameter of the
Bien entendu si le lacet 2 est de type lacet plat, chaque conduit 12, 22 aura une forme
associée, par exemple rectangulaire et de dimensions appropriées. Chaque conduit 12, 22
débouche d'une part à l'extérieur de la partie mâle / femelle associée par un orifice de même
dimension respectivement 12a, 22a, et d'autre part à l'intérieur de ladite partie mâle / femelle
associée, par un épaulement respectivement 13, 23, dans une première cavité, respectivement
14, 24, de dimensions supérieures.Of course if the
Dans le cas représenté, les cavités 14, 24 sont également des cavités cylindriques ayant un
diamètre d2 suffisant pour recevoir un noeud 2c formé à chaque extrémité 2a du lacet 2. Bien
entendu si le lacet 2 est de type lacet plat les cavités 14, 24 auront une forme appropriée.In the case shown, the
Comme le montrent les figures 5 et 6, la combinaison des conduits 12, 22 / épaulements
13, 23 permet très simplement d'assurer le raccordement de chaque partie respectivement mâle
/ femelle à une extrémité associée du lacet 2. Il suffit en effet de faire passer chacune de ces
extrémités 2a dans le conduit de raccordement respectivement 12, 22 associé depuis
l'extérieur, puis de faire un noeud 2c à l'extrémité dudit lacet.As shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, the combination of the
Par traction sur le lacet 2 dans le sens T, chaque noeud 2c vient en butée contre
l'épaulement associé respectivement 13, 23, réalisant ainsi le raccordement de la partie mâle
10, femelle 20 à ladite extrémité 2a.By pulling on the
Les moyens de guidage de la partie mâle 10 sont constitués par un manchon 15, ayant une
dimension transversale D1 et une longueur L1 et s'étendant à l'opposé, en direction
longitudinale, des moyens de raccordement 12, 13.The guide means of the
Le manchon 15 a de préférence une forme cylindrique de diamètre D1, mais il pourrait
également avoir une autre forme extérieure et par exemple parallélépipédique.The
Le manchon 15 est par ailleurs percé de part en part par la première cavité 14 de façon à
permettre le passage de l'extrémité 2a du lacet 2.The
Le manchon 15 a une longueur L1 en direction longitudinale qui est au moins égale à la
dimension D1 de façon à fournir un guidage et faciliter son engagement / dégagement de la
partie femelle 20. The
De préférence, L1 est cependant égale au moins au double de la valeur de D1 de façon à présenter des conditions de guidage optimales.Preferably, however, L1 is at least twice the value of D1 so as to present optimal guiding conditions.
Enfin le manchon 15 présente à son extrémité libre, c'est-à-dire celle opposée aux moyens
de raccordement 11, une gorge d'encliquetage 16. Cette gorge d'encliquetage 16 est de
préférence périphérique, elle peut également être constituée par des portions de gorge
périphérique.Finally, the
Les moyens de guidage de la partie femelle 20 sont constitués par une deuxième cavité 25
s'étendant à l'opposé des moyens de raccordement 21. Cette seconde cavité 25 est destinée à
recevoir et loger le manchon 15 de la partie mâle 10 et présente donc une dimension
transversale D2 et une longueur L2 complémentaires de celles D1, L1 du manchon 15. En
l'occurrence D2 et L2 seront légèrement supérieures aux dimensions D1, L1.The guiding means of the
La cavité 25 a également une géométrie complémentaire de celle du manchon 15, de
préférence cylindrique, mais qui pourrait également être parallélépipédique en fonction de la
forme du manchon 15.The
Dans le cas représenté la cavité 25 a un diamètre D2 ou dimension transversale supérieur à
celui d2 de la première cavité 24. Cependant ces deux dimensions pourraient être identiques,
la première cavité 24 se confondant alors avec la cavité 25.In the case shown, the
A son extrémité située du côté de la première cavité 24, la cavité 25 présente une saillie 26
destinée à coopérer avec la gorge 16 du manchon 15, pour l'encliquetage de la partie mâle
dans la partie femelle.At its end located on the side of the
De même que précédemment la saillie 26 peut être circulaire ou interrompue ponctuellement.As previously the projection 26 may be circular or interrupted punctually.
Le mode de réalisation avec parties mâle / femelle ayant des formes géométriques cylindriques complémentaires et des moyens d'encliquetage, de type gorge / saillie, périphériques ou annulaires / circulaires, est préféré car il permet une rotation mutuelle de ces parties mâle / femelle après assemblage et est donc moins susceptible de créer des tensions au niveau du lacet / cordon dont il permet la connexion des extrémités.The embodiment with male / female parts having geometric shapes complementary cylinders and latching means, groove / projection type, peripheral or annular / circular, is preferred because it allows a mutual rotation of these male / female parts after assembly and is therefore less likely to create tension at level of the lace / cord which it allows the connection of the ends.
Bien entendu les formes d'encliquetage pourraient être réparties de façon inverse, c'est-à-dire la gorge sur la partie femelle et la saillie sur la partie mâle sans que l'on sorte pour autant du cadre de la présente invention.Of course the snap shapes could be distributed in the opposite way, that is to say the groove on the female part and the protrusion on the male part without one so far of the scope of the present invention.
L'encliquetage permet un accouplement facile des parties mâles / femelles du fermoir et permet également un désaccouplement de sécurité lorsque par exemple la boucle du lacet est prise dans un obstacle. Les moyens de guidage sont importants pour permettre un engagement / désengagement plus facile des parties mâle / femelle.The snap allows easy coupling of the male / female parts of the clasp and also allows a safety disconnection when for example the loop of the lace is caught in an obstacle. Guiding means are important to enable commitment / easier disengagement of the male / female parts.
Les moyens de guidage (i.e. longueur du manchon et de la cavité), pourraient cependant être réduits voire éventuellement supprimés, par exemple pour des raisons d'encombrement, l'aspect sécurité / déclenchement étant alors privilégié.The guiding means (i.e. length of the sleeve and the cavity), however, could reduced or even eliminated, for example for reasons of space, the security / trigger aspect being then privileged.
La présente invention est particulièrement intéressante pour l'application décrite à un lacet de chaussure. The present invention is particularly interesting for the application described in a lace shoe.
Le fermoir selon la présente invention peut cependant être utilisé pour d'autres applications dans lesquelles les mêmes problèmes de sécurité et / ou facilité d'utilisation doivent être résolus. Par exemple ce fermoir peut être utilisé pour relier une extrémité d'un cordon, par exemple de gant, à une manche, de façon à fournir un moyen de connexion déclenchable mais facile à utiliser, du fait des moyens de guidage prévus.The clasp according to the present invention can, however, be used for other applications in which the same safety problems and / or ease of use must be resolved. For example this clasp can be used to connect one end of a cord, for example example of a glove, with a sleeve, so as to provide a triggerable connection means but easy to use, because of the guide means provided.
