Description

L'invention est relative à un dispositif de suspension d'articles chaussants, et trouvera une application particulière pour la présentation sur leurs lieux de vente d'articles chaussants, tels que notamment des mules, des chaussons ou des tongs.The invention relates to a suspension device for footwear, and will find a particular application for the presentation on their places of sale of footwear, such as including mules, slippers or flip flops.

Afin de présenter des articles chaussants dans les rayonnages de supermarché ou autre surface de vente, il est connu de suspendre ces articles par paire aux tringles du rayonnage.In order to present footwear items in the supermarket shelves or other sales area, it is known to suspend these items in pairs to the rails of the shelving.

A cet effet, on connaît par exemple du document FR 2.690.323 , ou encore du document EP 1.421.880 , un support plastique comprenant une tige centrale, dont l'une des extrémités est terminée par un crochet et dont l'autre extrémité constitue une zone de jonction de deux branches latérales dudit dispositif.For this purpose, for example, document is known FR 2.690.323 , or the document EP 1.421.880 , a plastic support comprising a central rod, one end of which is terminated by a hook and whose other end constitutes a junction zone of two lateral branches of said device.

Ces branches sont dirigées vers le crochet, de part et d'autre de ladite tige centrale, afin de pouvoir enfiler respectivement sur celles-ci deux articles chaussants à suspendre.These branches are directed towards the hook, on either side of said central rod, so as to thread respectively on them two footwear items to suspend.

Le dispositif avec les chaussants peut être alors suspendu, via le crochet, aux barres des rayonnages des surfaces de vente. Typiquement, ces supports en matière plastique sont obtenus par les techniques de moulage par injection.The device with the footwear can then be suspended, via the hook, the bars of the shelves of the sales areas. Typically, these plastic supports are obtained by injection molding techniques.

On connaît également, du document US 2007/0023370 , un dispositif de suspension d'articles chaussants qui peut être obtenu à partir d'un flan de carton après diverses opérations de découpe et de pliage. Un tel dispositif qui nécessite diverses opérations de mise en forme lors de la fabrication augmente le coût de revient de ce dispositif.It is also known from the document US 2007/0023370 , a footwear suspension device that can be obtained from a cardboard blank after various cutting and folding operations. Such a device that requires various formatting operations during manufacture increases the cost of this device.

Le but de la présente invention est de proposer un dispositif de suspension d'articles chaussants à très faible coût de revient par rapport aux dispositifs de l'état de l'art, et qui présente une cinétique de biodégradation supérieure à un dispositif plastique.The object of the present invention is to provide a suspension device footwear very low cost compared to devices of the state of the art, and has a kinetics of biodegradation greater than a plastic device.

The invention will be better understood on reading the following description accompanied by the appended drawings among which:
  • the figure 1 is a front view of an exemplary embodiment according to the invention,
  • the figure 2 is a view of the edge of the device as shown in figure 1 .
  • The figure 3 is a front view of an exemplary embodiment according to the invention according to a second embodiment, unfinished, the hook of the flat member is intended to be reinforced by a second thickness of cardboard,
  • the figure 4 is a view of the edge of the device as shown in figure 3 .

L'invention concerne un dispositif 1 de suspension d'articles chaussants, tels que notamment mules ou chaussons, comprenant un crochet 31 et deux branches 4,5 sur lesquelles peuvent être assujettis lesdits articles chaussant.The invention relates to a device 1 for suspending footwear, such as mules or slippers, comprising a hook 31 and two branches 4,5 on which may be subject said footwear.

Selon l'invention, le dispositif est sensiblement plan, mince, constitué essentiellement d'un élément plat Ca, en carton, rigide ou semi rigide, et découpé afin de matérialiser ledit crochet 31 et lesdites branches 4,5.According to the invention, the device is substantially flat, thin, consisting essentially of a flat element Ca, made of cardboard, rigid or semi-rigid, and cut in order to materialize said hook 31 and said branches 4,5.

Avantageusement, le dispositif (1), mince et sensiblement plan, est d'encombrement réduit et peut être stocké aisément et en grand nombre, par exemple en les empilant/superposant.Advantageously, the device (1), thin and substantially flat, is compact and can be stored easily and in large numbers, for example by stacking / superimposing.

Le dispositif 1 peut notamment présenter une épaisseur comprise entre 2mm et 6mm, tel que par exemple 2,5mm ou 5mm. A cet effet l'élément plat peut être un carton plein d'épaisseur comprise entre 2mm et 6mm, par exemple 2,5mm ou 5mm. Alternativement ledit élément plat peut être un carton stratifié d'épaisseur comprise entre 2mm et 6mm, obtenu notamment par collage et superposition de plusieurs feuilles de carton. Le cas échéant, un antivol, puce RFID ou similaire peut être intégré dans le dispositif notamment prévu prisonnier entre deux couches du carton stratifié.The device 1 may in particular have a thickness of between 2 mm and 6 mm, such as for example 2.5 mm or 5 mm. For this purpose the flat element may be a solid board of thickness between 2mm and 6mm, for example 2.5mm or 5mm. Alternatively said flat element may be a laminated board of thickness between 2mm and 6mm, obtained in particular by gluing and superposition of several sheets of cardboard. If necessary, an anti-theft device, RFID chip or the like may be integrated into the device, in particular provided for prisoner between two layers of laminated cardboard.

A l'exception de l'antivol, le cas échéant, le dispositif peut être réalisé entièrement en carton dans un souci environnemental.With the exception of the lock, if necessary, the device can be made entirely of cardboard for environmental reasons.

Au moins l'une des deux faces 18,19, planes, de l'élément plat Ca peut être pourvue d'un imprimé notamment par encre. L'imprimé peut être obtenue par impression direct sur le carton de l'élément plat, ou encore obtenue en superposant et en collant une feuille imprimé conforme audit élément plat Ca.At least one of the two planar faces 18, 19 of the flat element Ca may be provided with a printed material, in particular by ink. The print can be obtained by direct printing on the cardboard of the flat element, or obtained by superimposing and gluing a printed sheet conforming to said flat element Ca.

Avantageusement un imprimé publicitaire peut être ainsi pourvu sur l'une, voire chaque face plane 18 ; 19 de l'élément plat Ca.Advantageously, an advertising print can be provided on one or even each flat face 18; 19 of the flat element Ca.

Selon un mode de réalisation illustré aux figures, l'élément plat Ca matérialise une tige centrale 3 dont l'une des extrémités est terminée par ledit crochet 31 et dont l'autre extrémité constitue une zone de jonction 32 des deux branches 4,5.According to an embodiment illustrated in the figures, the flat element Ca materializes a central rod 3, one end of which is terminated by said hook 31 and the other end of which constitutes a junction zone 32 of the two branches 4,5.

Les branches 4,5 sont dirigées vers le crochet 31 et sont latérales, disposées de part et d'autre de ladite tige centrale 3. Selon ce mode de réalisation il est possible d'assujettir les chaussants auxdites branches en enfilant les articles chaussants sur les branches 4,5.The branches 4,5 are directed towards the hook 31 and are lateral, disposed on either side of said central rod 3. According to this embodiment it is possible to secure the footwear to said branches by putting the footwear on the branches 4,5.

Le dispositif de suspension conforme à l'invention peut être fabriqué aisément, la forme de l'élément plat Ca étant obtenue par au moins une opération de découpe dans un flan de carton.The suspension device according to the invention can be easily manufactured, the shape of the flat element Ca being obtained by at least one cutting operation in a blank of cardboard.

Avantageusement, la feuille de carton découpée qui matérialise le crochet, voire la tige, ainsi que les deux branches, notamment latérales, peut être obtenue par les techniques de découpe par emboutissage, en un seul coup de presse. A cet effet, il suffit de prévoir une matrice de découpe par emboutissage dont le dessin correspond à la forme du dispositif (crochet, branches et autres détails précédemment ou ci- après décrits notamment).Advantageously, the cut cardboard sheet which materializes the hook, or even the rod, as well as the two branches, in particular the lateral ones, can be obtained by stamping cutting techniques in a single press stroke. For this purpose, it is sufficient to provide a stamping die die whose design corresponds to the shape of the device (hook, branches and other details previously or hereinafter described in particular).

Eventuellement, le dessin de la matrice peut être à une seule forme, voire avantageusement multiformes et reprendre plusieurs formes de dispositifs selon l'invention, permettant d'obtenir plusieurs feuilles de carton découpées à la forme du dispositif, en un seul coup de presse.Optionally, the design of the matrix may be in one form, or even advantageously multiform and take several forms of devices according to the invention, to obtain several sheets of cardboard cut to the shape of the device, in a single stroke of the press.

Dans le cas d'un élément plat constitué d'un carton plein, cette matrice multiforme permet d'obtenir autant de dispositifs que le nombre de formes de ladite matrice.In the case of a flat element made of solid cardboard, this multiform matrix makes it possible to obtain as many devices as the number of shapes of said matrix.

Dans le cas d'un élément plat constitué d'un carton stratifié, plusieurs feuilles ainsi embouties peuvent être superposées et collées pour obtenir ledit élément plat Ca.In the case of a flat element consisting of a laminated cardboard, several sheets thus stamped can be superimposed and glued to obtain said flat element Ca.

Selon l'invention, le dispositif de suspension est adapté à la présentation d'articles chaussants dits légers, tels que notamment des mules, des chaussons, des tongs ou similaires.According to the invention, the suspension device is suitable for the presentation of so-called lightweight footwear, such as in particular mules, slippers, flip-flops or the like.

Par ailleurs et tel qu'illustré selon l'exemple des figures 1, 2 ou 3, chacune des branches latérales 4,5 peut présenter une largeur 21 comprise entre 3,5 cm et 5,5 cm par exemple 4,5 cm. Une telle largeur des branches permet d'éviter, lorsque les branches sont enfilées à l'intérieur de l'empeigne d'une mule notamment, d'éviter la rotation des articles chaussants selon leur axe longitudinal, assurant ainsi le maintien des articles chaussants suivant un même plan de présentation. Les semelles des articles peuvent être présentées suivant un même plan.Moreover, and as illustrated by the example of Figures 1, 2 or 3 each of the lateral branches 4,5 may have a width 21 of between 3.5 cm and 5.5 cm, for example 4.5 cm. Such a width of the branches makes it possible to avoid, when the branches are threaded inside the vamp a mule in particular, to avoid the rotation of the footwear along their longitudinal axis, thus ensuring the maintenance of footwear following a same layout plan. The soles of the articles can be presented according to the same plan.

Selon l'exemple des figures, chacune des branches latérales 5, peut par ailleurs présenter une hauteur 22 comprise entre 8 cm et 12 cm notamment en particulier 11 cm (110mm tel qu'illustré à la figure 3).According to the example of the figures, each of the lateral branches 5 may also have a height 22 of between 8 cm and 12 cm, in particular in particular 11 cm (110 mm as illustrated in FIG. figure 3 ).

Avantageusement, l'espace entre le bord intérieur 6 ;7 de chacune des branches latérales 4 ;5 et le bord opposé 8 ;9 de la tige centrale 3 peut constituer une fente 10 ;11 destinée pour le pincement de l'empeigne d'un article chaussant, et notamment de l'empeigne d'une mule.Advantageously, the space between the inner edge 6; 7 of each of the lateral branches 4; 5 and the opposite edge 8; 9 of the central rod 3 may constitute a slot 10; 11 intended for gripping the upper of a footwear, and in particular the upper of a mule.

La largeur sera ainsi dimensionnée afin d'obtenir un pincement léger de l'empeigne sans toutefois altérer l'article chaussant. A cet effet, chacune des fentes 10,11 peut présenter une largeur comprise entre 4 mm et 6 mm, en particulier 5 mm.The width will be sized to obtain a slight nip of the upper without altering the footwear. For this purpose, each of the slots 10, 11 may have a width of between 4 mm and 6 mm, in particular 5 mm.

Afin d'augmenter le maintien des articles chaussants au dispositif, chacune des fentes peut avantageusement présenter une trajectoire courbe, au moins sur une partie 12 ;13 de la fente 10 ;11. Telle qu'illustrée aux figures sur les parties 12 et 13, la courbure de la fente constitue une chicane pour favoriser le maintien de l'article chaussant par une déformation légère de son empeigne.In order to increase the support of the footwear to the device, each of the slots may advantageously have a curved path, at least on a portion 12; 13 of the slot 10; 11. As illustrated in the figures on parts 12 and 13, the curvature of the slot constitutes a baffle to promote the maintenance of the article of footwear by a slight deformation of its upper.

Selon l'exemple des figures, chacune des fentes 10 ;11 présente une trajectoire courbe sur une partie 12 ou 13 seulement de la fente 10 ou 11 à sa partie inférieure, la partie supérieure étant rectiligne. Entre les parties 12 et 13, la courbure de la fente est telle que la partie inférieure de la tige 3 est de largeur supérieure à sa partie supérieure, constituant ainsi un renfort à la flexion au niveau de la partie élargie.According to the example of the figures, each of the slots 10; 11 has a curved trajectory on a part 12 or 13 only of the slot 10 or 11 at its lower part, the upper part being rectilinear. Between the parts 12 and 13, the curvature of the slot is such that the lower part of the rod 3 is wider than its upper part, thus constituting a bending reinforcement at the widened part.

En outre, selon un mode de réalisation illustré aux figures, le bord supérieur 16 ou 17 de chacune des branches 4 ou 5 peut présenter une encoche 14 ou 15 débouchante. Ces encoches 14,15 trouveront une application particulière pour la suspension d'articles chaussants et en particulier des tongs. Ces encoches 14,15 permettent notamment de suspendre des tongs par accrochage de leur bride.In addition, according to an embodiment illustrated in the figures, the upper edge 16 or 17 of each of the branches 4 or 5 may have a notch 14 or 15 opening. These notches 14,15 will find a particular application for the suspension of footwear and in particular flip flops. These notches 14,15 allow in particular to hang flip flops by hooking their flange.

Comme précédemment développé, les deux faces 18 ,19 de l'élément plat Ca peuvent éventuellement être pourvues d'un imprimé par encre, notamment publicitaire. Il a par ailleurs été constaté par l'inventeur qu'imprimer directement les deux faces du carton de l'élément plat Ca permettait d'augmenter la rigidité du dispositif et ainsi la résistance à la flexion du dispositif.As previously developed, the two faces 18, 19 of the flat element Ca may optionally be provided with an ink print, including advertising. It has also been found by the inventor that directly printing the two sides of the carton of the flat element Ca could increase the rigidity of the device and thus the bending strength of the device.

Selon un mode de réalisation illustré à la figure 3, le crochet en carton matérialisé par ledit élément plat Ca peut être renforcé par une seconde épaisseur de carton 40.According to an embodiment illustrated in figure 3 , the cardboard hook materialized by said flat member Ca can be reinforced by a second thickness of cardboard 40.

Cette disposition permet d'augmenter la résistance à la déchirure du crochet 31, grâce une seconde épaisseur de carton 40 qui peut être rapportée et collée sur le crochet 31 matérialisé par l'élément plat Ca, sans pour autant augmenter l'épaisseur du dispositif sur les autres parties de l'élément plat Ca (branches 4,5 voire tige 3).This arrangement makes it possible to increase the tear strength of the hook 31, thanks to a second thickness of cardboard 40 which can be attached and glued to the hook 31 materialized by the flat element Ca, without increasing the thickness of the device on the other parts of the flat element Ca (branches 4,5 or rod 3).

Selon l'exemple de figure cette seconde épaisseur peut être obtenu lors du procédé d'emboutissage précédemment décrit par une partie 42 attenante au niveau d'une ligne de pliure 41 au crochet 31 matérialisé par l'élément plat Ca, conforme à ce crochet 31. Pour obtenir le crochet final, il suffit de rabattre la partie 42 sur le crochet 31 de l'élément plat Ca et d'assujettir des parties par collage. Afin de faciliter le pliage une découpe, (matérialisée par les pointillés) peut être prévue au niveau de la ligne de pliure 41.According to the example of the figure, this second thickness can be obtained during the drawing process previously described by an adjoining portion 42 at a fold line 41 to the hook 31 materialized by the flat member Ca, conforming to this hook 31 To obtain the final hook, simply fold down the portion 42 on the hook 31 of the flat member Ca and fasten parts by gluing. To facilitate folding a cut, (shown by the dotted lines) can be provided at the fold line 41.

Naturellement, d'autres modes de réalisation auraient pu être envisagés par l'Homme du Métier sans pour autant sortir du cadre de l'invention définie par les revendications ci-après.Of course, other embodiments could have been envisaged by those skilled in the art without departing from the scope of the invention defined by the claims below.
