Description

L'invention concerne tout ou partie d'une chaussure de sport comprenant une décoration, et est particulièrement adaptée aux chaussures pour planche de glisse telle que ski, surf ou chaussure de patinage, qui sont utilisées dans des environnements abrasifs. Elle concerne de plus aussi le procédé de fabrication d'une telle chaussure.The invention relates to all or part of a sports shoe comprising a decoration, and is particularly suitable for boards for gliding such as skiing, surfing or skating shoe, which are used in abrasive environments. It also relates to the method of manufacturing such a shoe.

Les chaussures pour sports de glisse nécessitent un bon compromis entre les contraintes de confort et de rigidité. Cette dernière est nécessaire afin de permettre à l'utilisateur de guider de manière précise l'engin de glisse et de ressentir la réponse de l'engin à ses sollicitations. Pour cela, les chaussures se composent en général d'une coque et d'un collier, dont une partie est dans un matériau plastique rigide. La décoration de telles chaussures est souvent sobre et réalisée par un marquage à chaud sur la surface extérieure de la coque ou du collier. Les décorations obtenues sont souvent endommagées par l'environnement abrasif lors de l'utilisation de la chaussure et dans le cas du ski ou du surf, elles subissent de plus des coups involontaires provoqués par les carres qui provoquent des rayures inesthétiques sur ces décorations. De telles décorations sont donc peu durables. De plus, un tel procédé de décoration est contraignant car il ajoute une étape longue et coûteuse au procédé de fabrication des chaussures de sport.Shoes for sliding sports require a good compromise between the constraints of comfort and rigidity. The latter is necessary in order to allow the user to precisely guide the gliding machine and feel the response of the machine to his solicitations. For this, the shoes generally consist of a shell and a collar, part of which is in a rigid plastic material. The decoration of such shoes is often sober and made by hot stamping on the outer surface of the shell or collar. The decorations obtained are often damaged by the abrasive environment during the use of the shoe and in the case of skiing or surfing, they also suffer unintentional blows caused by the edges that cause unsightly scratches on these decorations. Such decorations are therefore unsustainable. In addition, such a decorating process is restrictive because it adds a long and expensive step to the manufacturing process of sports shoes.

D'une manière plus générale, les procédés de décoration des chaussures de sport de l'art antérieur sont insatisfaisants, ce qui s'explique par la réunion d'un nombre important de contraintes parmi lesquelles :

  • la chaussure est destinée à un environnement abrasif et à une utilisation sportive entraînant des efforts importants subis par sa structure. Dans le cas du ski ou du surf, la chaussure est aussi soumise à des coups accidentels provoqués par les carres. Ces agressions extérieures rendent difficiles la disposition de décorations durables sur la chaussure ;
  • en outre, la chaussure présente une surface complexe, non plane, ce qui ne facilite pas sa décoration ;
  • la chaussure a de plus une structure complexe et coûteuse du fait des contraintes mécaniques et de confort et il n'est pas économiquement envisageable d'augmenter son coût de manière significative pour une contrainte supplémentaire d'ordre esthétique. Il n'est pas non plus envisageable de diminuer la rigidité et/ou le confort de la chaussure pour permettre de développer les solutions de décoration ;
  • la chaussure doit aussi avoir un poids minimal pour optimiser son rendement et son coût. Des solutions de décoration qui entraîneraient une augmentation du poids de la chaussure conviendraient donc mal.
In a more general manner, the decoration processes of sports shoes of the prior art are unsatisfactory, which is explained by the meeting of a large number of constraints including:
  • the shoe is intended for an abrasive environment and a sporting use involving significant efforts suffered by its structure. In the case of skiing or surfing, the shoe is also subjected to accidental blows caused by the edges. These external aggressions make difficult the provision of durable decorations on the shoe;
  • in addition, the shoe has a complex surface, not flat, which does not facilitate its decoration;
  • the shoe also has a complex and expensive structure due to mechanical stresses and comfort and it is not economically feasible to significantly increase its cost for an additional constraint of aesthetic order. It is also not possible to reduce the stiffness and / or comfort of the shoe to allow the development of decorative solutions;
  • the shoe must also have a minimum weight to optimize its performance and cost. Decoration solutions that would increase the weight of the shoe would therefore be poor.

Un premier objet de la présente invention consiste à proposer une chaussure de sport comprenant une décoration, cette dernière étant éventuellement de grande taille, de forme quelconque, pouvant comprendre un nombre important de couleurs, et étant résistante aux contraintes imposées par l'utilisation de la chaussure de sport et adaptée à la forme complexe de la surface de la chaussure.A first object of the present invention is to provide a sports shoe comprising a decoration, the latter possibly being large, of any shape, which may comprise a large number of colors, and being resistant to the constraints imposed by the use of the sports shoe and adapted to the complex shape of the shoe surface.

Un second objet de la présente invention consiste à proposer une chaussure de sport avec décoration dont le procédé de fabrication est simple et le surcoût reste négligeable.A second object of the present invention is to provide a sports shoe with decoration whose manufacturing process is simple and the additional cost remains negligible.

Un troisième objet de la présente invention consiste à proposer une chaussure de sport avec décoration dont le poids reste minimal.A third object of the present invention is to provide a sports shoe with decoration whose weight remains minimal.

Selon le concept de l'invention, la chaussure de sport comprend au moins une partie de paroi transparente ayant une décoration sur sa surface intérieure, de sorte qu'elle soit visible depuis l'extérieur et protégée des agressions extérieures.According to the concept of the invention, the sports shoe comprises at least a transparent wall portion having a decoration on its inner surface, so that it is visible from the outside and protected from external aggressions.

Ainsi, la chaussure de sport selon l'invention est telle qu'énoncée dans la revendication 1.Thus, the sports shoe according to the invention is as set forth in claim 1.

La décoration peut être un marquage par sérigraphie et/ou laque et/ou vernis appliqué sur la face intérieure de la paroi.The decoration may be a screen printing and / or lacquer and / or varnish imprint on the inner face of the wall.

La décoration peut aussi se composer d'un support comprenant la décoration et fixé sur la face intérieure de la paroi par un moyen adhésif. Le support peut être le moyen adhésif, être un autocollant ou être de type décalcomanie.The decoration may also consist of a support comprising the decoration and fixed on the inner face of the wall by an adhesive means. The support can be the adhesive medium, be a sticker or decal type.

La décoration peut aussi résulter d'un transfert à chaud à partir d'un ruban ou d'une étiquette.The decoration can also result from a hot transfer from a ribbon or label.

La chaussure de sport peut être une chaussure de ski, la partie de la chaussure étant la coque en polyuréthane et la décoration étant disposée sur les parties latérales de la coque.The sports shoe can be a ski boot, the part of the shoe being the polyurethane shell and the decoration being disposed on the side parts of the shell.

La décoration peut être de type alphanumérique et/ou quadrichromique.The decoration may be alphanumeric and / or four-color.

Elle peut contenir une information permettant la gestion de la chaussure de sport, par l'intermédiaire d'une partie de type code-barre par exemple.It may contain information for managing the sports shoe, for example by means of a barcode type part.

L'invention concerne aussi le procédé de fabrication d'une chaussure de sport, telle qu'énoncé dans la revendication 8:

  • fabrication d'une partie de paroi sur une partie de la chaussure de type coque ou manchette à l'aide d'un matériau transparent ;
  • réalisation d'une décoration sur la face intérieure de la partie de paroi transparente.
The invention also relates to the method of manufacturing a sports shoe, as stated in claim 8:
  • manufacturing a wall portion on a portion of the shell or cuff type shoe using a transparent material;
  • performing a decoration on the inner face of the transparent wall portion.

La réalisation de la décoration peut se faire par une méthode de type sérigraphie et/ou par application d'une laque et/ou d'un vernis.The realization of the decoration can be done by a method of screen printing type and / or by application of a lacquer and / or varnish.

En variante, la réalisation de la décoration peut se faire par une étape de marquage à chaud.Alternatively, the realization of the decoration can be done by a hot stamping step.

Selon une autre variante, la réalisation de la décoration peut consister à disposer un support contenant la décoration à l'aide d'un moyen adhésif sur la face intérieure de la paroi. Pour cela, cette étape peut consister à enlever une feuille du support de décoration afin d'obtenir l'effet adhésif du moyen adhésif. Ainsi, la réalisation de la décoration peut comprendre une étape de collage d'un autocollant, le support de décoration étant un autocollant.According to another variant, the embodiment of the decoration may consist in arranging a support containing the decoration by means of an adhesive means on the inside face of the wall. For this, this step may consist in removing a sheet of the decoration medium in order to obtain the adhesive effect of the adhesive means. Thus, the realization of the decoration may comprise a sticking step of a sticker, the decoration medium being a sticker.

Ces objets, caractéristiques et avantages de la présente invention seront exposés en détail dans la description suivante d'un mode d'exécution particulier fait à titre non-limitatif en relation avec les figures jointes parmi lesquelles :

  • La figure 1 est une vue en perspective d'une chaussure selon l'invention ;
  • La figure 2 est une vue en coupe selon A-A de la chaussure de la figure 1;
  • La figure 3 est une vue en coupe selon A-A d'une chaussure similaire à celle de la figure 1 selon une variante d'implémentation de l'invention ;
These objects, features and advantages of the present invention will be set forth in detail in the following description of a particular embodiment made in a non-limiting manner in relation to the appended figures among which:
  • Figure 1 is a perspective view of a shoe according to the invention;
  • Figure 2 is a sectional view along AA of the shoe of Figure 1;
  • Figure 3 is a sectional view along AA of a shoe similar to that of Figure 1 according to an alternative embodiment of the invention;

Le mode de réalisation décrit ci-après en référence aux figures 1 et 2 concerne une chaussure de ski 1 essentiellement constituée d'une semelle 2, d'une coque 3, d'une manchette 4 articulée sur la coque 3 dans la région malléolaire en un point 5. Cette coque 3 et cette manchette 4 reçoivent un chausson de confort 6. La coque comporte une décoration 8.The embodiment described hereinafter with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2 relates to a ski boot 1 consisting essentially of a sole 2, a shell 3, a sleeve 4 hinged to the shell 3 in the malleolar region of a point 5. This shell 3 and this sleeve 4 receive a comfort slipper 6. The shell has a decoration 8.

La figure 2 montre en coupe la structure de la coque 3. Elle se compose essentiellement d'une paroi 11 transparente ou translucide dans un matériau plastique, par exemple un polyuréthane, comprenant une décoration 8 directement réalisée sur sa face intérieure 12, visible depuis l'extérieur grâce à la transparence de la couche 11.FIG. 2 shows in section the structure of the shell 3. It consists essentially of a transparent or translucent wall 11 made of a plastic material, for example a polyurethane, comprising a decoration 8 directly made on its inner face 12, visible since the outside thanks to the transparency of layer 11.

Cette décoration 8 peut être réalisée par une impression sérigraphique, voire toute autre technique d'impression. Notamment, tous les procédés de marquage utilisés aujourd'hui pour décorer les faces extérieures des chaussures de sport restent compatibles avec le concept de l'invention et peuvent être appliqués sur la face intérieure de la paroi transparente.This decoration 8 can be achieved by a screen printing, or any other printing technique. In particular, all the marking processes used today to decorate the outer faces of sports shoes remain compatible with the concept of the invention and can be applied to the inner face of the transparent wall.

En variante, cette décoration peut être réalisée par l'intermédiaire d'un support 7 de décoration 8, représenté sur la figure 2, qui peut être un papier autocollant classique, composé d'une face contenant la décoration 8 ainsi qu'un moyen adhésif, cette face étant recouverte par une feuille protectrice qui est enlevée juste avant la disposition du support 7 sur la chaussure. Ce support 7 est directement collé sur la face intérieure 12 de la paroi transparente 11 de la chaussure. Le support 7 de la décoration 8 est choisi peu épais et souple, en papier, en plastique ou en un élément collant naturel ou synthétique par exemple, de manière à pouvoir épouser la surface non plane de la paroi 11 de la coque 3. La décoration 8 peut être obtenue très simplement par une impression à partir d'une imprimante d'ordinateur.Alternatively, this decoration can be achieved by means of a support 7 decoration 8, shown in Figure 2, which can be a conventional sticker paper, consisting of a face containing the decoration 8 and an adhesive means this face being covered by a protective sheet which is removed just before the arrangement of the support 7 on the shoe. This support 7 is directly bonded to the inner face 12 of the transparent wall 11 of the shoe. The support 7 of the decoration 8 is chosen thin and flexible, paper, plastic or a sticky element natural or synthetic for example, so as to marry the non-flat surface of the wall 11 of the shell 3. The decoration 8 can be obtained very simply by printing from a computer printer.

Selon une autre variante, la décoration peut être disposée selon la méthode de la décalcomanie, qui consistera donc à appliquer le support sur la paroi 11 de la chaussure en enlevant la feuille du dessous de la décoration.According to another variant, the decoration may be arranged according to the decal method, which will therefore consist in applying the support on the wall 11 of the shoe by removing the sheet from below the decoration.

Selon une autre variante, la décoration peut être obtenue par la méthode de transfert à chaud à partir d'une étiquette ou d'un rubanAccording to another variant, the decoration can be obtained by the method of hot transfer from a label or a ribbon

La coque représentée sur la figure 2 comprend par endroit une seconde paroi 10 en polyuréthane, éventuellement superposée à la paroi 11, selon une combinaison connue de l'art antérieur pour améliorer la rigidité et le confort de la chaussure.The shell shown in Figure 2 comprises in place a second wall 10 of polyurethane, optionally superimposed on the wall 11, according to a known combination of the prior art to improve the rigidity and comfort of the shoe.

En variante illustrée sur la figure 3, la partie transparente de la paroi 11 peut être réduite à une simple fenêtre 13 correspondant à l'emplacement de la décoration 8.As a variant illustrated in FIG. 3, the transparent part of the wall 11 can be reduced to a simple window 13 corresponding to the location of the decoration 8.

L'invention concerne en outre le procédé de fabrication de la chaussure de ski 1, telle qu'énoncé dans la revendication 8.The invention further relates to the method of manufacturing the ski boot 1, as set forth in claim 8.

La partie de paroi 11 transparente remplit donc la double fonction d'être un élément constitutif principal de la coque, dont la fonction principale est plus précisément la rigidité et le confort, tout en remplissant la fonction de support et de protection de la décoration, puisqu'elle représente une barrière vis à vis des agressions extérieures pour la décoration.The transparent wall portion 11 thus fulfills the dual function of being a main constituent element of the shell, the main function of which is more precisely rigidity and comfort, while fulfilling the function of supporting and protecting the decoration, since it represents a barrier against external aggression for decoration.

Dans ce mode de réalisation, la décoration a été disposée sur la partie latérale de la coque de la chaussure. Toutefois, elle pourrait être disposée sur une autre surface de la coque 3 ou sur la manchette 4.In this embodiment, the decoration has been arranged on the lateral part of the shell of the shoe. However, it could be placed on another surface of the shell 3 or on the sleeve 4.

De plus, le procédé de décoration selon l'invention peut être combiné avec les procédés classiques de décoration de l'art antérieur, basés sur des décorations de la surface extérieure des parois des chaussures. Il est ainsi possible d'augmenter les effets esthétiques possibles en obtenant par exemple des reliefs par deux décorations superposées se trouvant dans des plans différents.In addition, the decoration method according to the invention can be combined with the conventional decoration methods of the prior art, based on decorations of the outer surface of the walls of the shoes. It is thus possible to increase the possible aesthetic effects by obtaining for example reliefs by two superposed decorations being in different planes.

En variante, la décoration peut être plus qu'une simple décoration et contenir des informations utiles à la gestion des chaussures de sport pour les loueurs par exemple. Ainsi, la décoration peut être de type code-barre ou tout équivalent afin d'indiquer un numéro d'identification de la chaussure. Elle peut aussi permettre l'identification du loueur qui est propriétaire de la chaussure de sport. Cela peut lui permettre d'automatiser le procédé de location de chaussure grâce à une étape d'identification rapide de la chaussure. Il peut aussi identifier facilement et de manière sûre les chaussures lui appartenant.Alternatively, the decoration can be more than just a decoration and contain information useful for the management of sports shoes for rental companies for example. Thus, the decoration can be barcode type or any equivalent to indicate an identification number of the shoe. It can also allow the identification of the lessor who owns the sports shoe. This can enable him to automate the shoe rental process through a step of rapid identification of the shoe. He can also easily and securely identify his own shoes.

Finalement, la solution atteint bien les objets mentionnés précédemment et présente les avantages suivants :

  • comme la décoration peut être réalisée par une multitude de moyens, et notamment par l'intermédiaire d'un support simple, elle est adaptée aux formes quelconques et de toute taille. Elle peut aussi comprendre tout type d'impression complexe de type alphanumérique ou quadrichromique, incluant des couleurs, des marquages, des hologrammes... Comme elle peut être réalisée très simplement, le procédé de fabrication de la chaussure est adapté aux petites séries ;
  • comme la décoration est disposée sur la face intérieure de la chaussure, elle est protégée des agressions extérieures ;
  • l'invention ne nécessite aucune protection spécifique et supplémentaire à ajouter sur la coque pour protéger la décoration : elle se contente d'intégrer une décoration sur une chaussure dont la structure est classique et ne nécessite pas de modification, outre la transparence de la paroi au niveau de la décoration ;
  • du fait des explications précédentes, l'augmentation du poids et du coût de la chaussure selon l'invention par rapport à une chaussure sans décoration se limite simplement au poids et au coût de la décoration ajoutée, ce qui est négligeable ;
  • le procédé de fabrication d'une telle chaussure est simple, il suffit de disposer la décoration par tout moyen sur la paroi intérieure de la chaussure ;
  • l'invention permet aussi d'augmenter les effets esthétiques possibles, par exemple par la possibilité de combiner le procédé de décoration selon l'invention avec les procédés existants afin d'obtenir des reliefs.
Finally, the solution achieves the objects mentioned above and has the following advantages:
  • as the decoration can be achieved by a multitude of means, including through a simple support, it is suitable for any shape and any size. It can also include any type of alphanumeric or quadrichromic type complex printing, including colors, markings, holograms, etc. As it can be done very simply, the method of manufacturing the shoe is suitable for small series;
  • as the decoration is arranged on the inside of the shoe, it is protected from external aggressions;
  • the invention does not require any specific and additional protection to be added to the shell to protect the decoration: it merely incorporates a decoration on a shoe whose structure is conventional and does not require modification, in addition to the transparency of the wall at level of decoration;
  • because of the above explanations, the increase of the weight and the cost of the shoe according to the invention compared to a shoe without decoration is simply limited to the weight and cost of the added decoration, which is negligible;
  • the method of manufacturing such a shoe is simple, it is sufficient to have the decoration by any means on the inner wall of the shoe;
  • the invention also makes it possible to increase the possible aesthetic effects, for example by the possibility of combining the decoration method according to the invention with the existing methods in order to obtain reliefs.
