Definitions

  • the invention relates to an accessory intended to be positioned on a shoe, the accessory serving to add adjustment, closure and tightening-type functionalities, such as, for example, a lever-and-rack device as used for ski boots or surf.
  • the sports shoes consist of slippers and / or hulls whose flexibility is sought to allow them to marry at best the shape of the foot for the comfort of their users.
  • some accessories are necessarily added to the surfaces of these shoes, such as closing and clamping devices for example.
  • the latter consist for example of an attachment member connected to a tensioning lever attached to a first portion of a shoe, and intended to be hooked in a rack attached to a second portion of the shoe to bring these two parts together of shoe and get the closure and tightening of the shoe.
  • the racks of the closing and clamping devices of the prior art are rigid metal parts in order to obtain the resistance necessary for the effort they undergo when closing the boot and the length of which makes it possible to offer several possibilities of tightening the shoe to make it suitable for all kinds of foot and lower leg forms.
  • These racks have the disadvantage of inducing an opposite effect to the overall comfort sought by the rest of the shoe structure since their rigidity removes the flexibility of the shoe where they are placed, which can represent pain points for users . To limit this harmful effect, their length is reduced to a minimum, to the detriment of the adjustment possibilities of the shoe.
  • the invention relates to an accessory consisting of at least one part adapted for attachment of the accessory on a shoe and at least one adjustment part, to provide the type of closure and tightening proper to a shoe.
  • a general object of the present invention is to provide a shoe accessory which does not have the drawbacks of the prior art.
  • a first object of the present invention to provide a shoe accessory that has a good resistance to efforts to be compatible with the use for ski boots for example.
  • a second object of the present invention is to provide a sports shoe accessory that keeps the comfort of the shoe, which does not induce the pain points of the solutions of the prior art.
  • a third object of the present invention is to provide a shoe accessory that is suitable for all types of foot and ankle shapes.
  • a fourth object of the present invention is to provide a shoe accessory which is particularly suitable for use as a closure and clamping device for a ski boot.
  • the shoe accessory according to the invention comprises the features of claim 1.
  • the shoe accessory of the invention may comprise at least three parts movably connected to each other in pairs by an axis penetrating through corresponding openings of the two parts so as to allow rotation about the axis of the shoe. one part relative to the other.
  • the boot accessory according to the invention may comprise at least one link.
  • the accessory for sports shoe according to the invention is a rack whose toothed portion is divided into at least two movable parts relative to each other.
  • the first embodiment relates to an accessory 1 corresponding to a rack with five teeth of a device for closing and tightening a ski boot.
  • This rack 1, shown in FIG. figure 1 consists of a rigid portion 2, preferably of minimum length, for fixing the rack on the shoe by a fastening means of the rivet type, placed in an opening 6 provided for this purpose. It consists of more than one adjustment part 3 comprising the teeth of the rack and to fulfill the function of closing and tightening of the shoe.
  • the Adjustment portion 3 is divided into two parts 4 and 5, respectively comprising a tooth and four teeth of the rack. These two parts 4, 5 are connected in rotation with respect to each other via an extension 7 of the part 5 which enters an opening 8 of the end of the part 4. This end comprises two wings 9 around the opening 8, each wing comprising an opening 10.
  • the extension 7 of the part 5 comprises a corresponding opening 11.
  • connection of the parts 4 and 5 is effected by a transverse axis 12 which passes respectively through the openings 10 and 11 of the two parts 4, 5.
  • This connection can be easily understood and seen using the figure 3 which represents this geometry in a disassembled position, in a second embodiment which has similarities and whose same references are used for the same elements and which will be described later.
  • the figure 2 represents a second embodiment of an accessory being a rack and fastening device for a ski boot.
  • the adjustment part 3 of the rack consists of three parts: a part 5 having only three teeth, a link 13 of a single tooth, and the part 4 comprising a tooth. These three parts are interconnected in a manner similar to the link described above in the context of the first embodiment. Two axes 12 are used to connect these three parts 5, 13, 4.
  • the figure 3 represents the link 13 outside the accessory 1. It consists of a first portion representing a rack tooth, comprising an opening 8 surrounded by two wings 9 each having an opening 10, and a second portion corresponding to an extension 7 having an opening 11.
  • the opening 8 is intended to receive the extension 7 of the part 5 and its extension 7 is intended to be inserted in the opening 8 of the part 4, in the manner of a chain.
  • a link in the sense of the invention is more generally defined as being a small element comprising a male part and a female part that can be linked in a mobile manner to other elements so as to form a sport shoe accessory.
  • a link 13 of two rack teeth could be used without departing from the concept of the invention.
  • This second variant further increases the flexibility of the rack and thus reduces the adverse effects related to the rigidity of the racks of the prior art, while maintaining their strength.
  • a third embodiment not shown is to provide a rack composed only of links so as to form a flexible chain.
  • the rack could comprise four links 13. This embodiment would thus allow to obtain the maximum flexibility of the rack.
  • a further advantage of the invention and particularly the last two embodiments is that it is possible to easily add or remove links 13, to change the length of the rack according to the needs of users .
  • the solution thus brings the double advantage of a reduced length and a quasi-suppressed rigidity.
  • the principle of the invention can be applied to any accessory attaching to a sports shoe, such as the base of a buckle or lever, a device for advancing or flexing a shoe.
  • the figure 4 represents the implementation of the invention on an accessory for adjusting the advance of a ski boot.
  • a rack 1 of three teeth mounted on the stem 15 of the shoe consists of two links 13 of a tooth and an additional tooth connected to the attachment part 2 on the shoe. This rack allows adjustment of the angle of the rod 15 with respect to the shell 16 by the hooking of a fastening member 14 connected to the shell 16, the rod 15 being rotatable relative to the shell 16 about an axis 17.
  • the present invention therefore defines a sports boot accessory which has good resistance to effort, which makes it possible to maintain the comfort of the boot thanks to its flexibility and its reduced length, and which is suitable for all types of foot shape and ankle since its length is adapted.
