Description

La présente invention concerne une chaussure de ski comprenant au moins une talonnette amovible.The present invention relates to a ski boot comprising at least one removable heel.

Le document EP0199098 décrit un dispositif de fixation de ski de randonnée dont le dispositif de fixation avant repose sur deux bras articulés comprenant des pièces de serrage destinées à coopérer avec une chaussure de ski de randonnée. Les pièces de serrage présentent des formes en pointe qui coopèrent avec des parties creuses correspondantes aménagées latéralement dans la partie antérieure de la chaussure de ski de randonnée, afin de fixer la chaussure en autorisant uniquement son mouvement de rotation autour d'un axe transverse au ski. Une telle solution de fixation de chaussure de ski de randonnée est très répandue et souvent dénommée par l'expression générale de standard Dynafit®.The document EP0199098 discloses a ski touring attachment device whose front fixing device is based on two articulated arms comprising clamping pieces for cooperating with a ski touring boot. The clamping pieces have pointed shapes which cooperate with corresponding hollow parts arranged laterally in the front part of the touring ski boot, in order to fix the boot by only allowing its movement of rotation about an axis transverse to the ski. . Such a hiking ski shoe attachment solution is widespread and often referred to by the general expression of Dynafit® standard.

Le document EP1559457 décrit plus en détail une chaussure de ski de randonnée adaptée au dispositif de fixation décrit dans le document EP0199098 . Cette chaussure comprend un insert métallique, appelé couramment par sa dénomination anglo-saxonne d'insert « Lowtech », qui comprend sur ses parties latérales les parties creuses destinées à coopérer avec les pièces de serrage du dispositif de fixation, et qui comprend entre ces parties latérales une armature métallique rigide intermédiaire qui remplit la fonction de résistance aux efforts subis pendant la pratique du ski de randonnée.The document EP1559457 describes in more detail a touring ski boot adapted to the fixing device described in the document EP0199098 . This shoe comprises a metal insert, commonly known by its Anglo-Saxon name insert "Lowtech", which comprises on its side portions the hollow portions intended to cooperate with the clamping parts of the fixing device, and which comprises between these parts lateral rigid intermediate metal frame that performs the function of resistance to the forces experienced during the practice of ski touring.

D'autre part, il se pose toujours la question de faciliter et assurer la sécurité maximale de la phase de descente lors la pratique du ski de randonnée. La chaussure de ski alpin telle que normalisée est conçue de manière optimisée pour une telle descente, mais elle ne convient pas pour les phases de montée. Pour cela, le document WO2009003904 propose une solution dans laquelle une chaussure présente deux logements avant et arrière sous sa semelle, dans lesquels des inserts sont fixés pour finaliser la chaussure. Dans cette solution, deux jeux différents d'inserts avant et arrière permettent respectivement de former une chaussure soit conforme à la norme des chaussures de ski alpin soit adaptée à la pratique de la montée en ski de randonnée. L'avantage de cette solution est de permettre d'utiliser la même coque de chaussure pour les deux utilisations différentes. Ce document précise que l'insert antérieur de la chaussure destiné à former la chaussure de ski de randonnée est adapté au standard défini par le document EP0199098 , et comprend donc les deux parties creuses formées par un insert Lowtech.On the other hand, there is always the question of facilitating and ensuring the maximum safety of the downhill phase during the practice of ski touring. The alpine ski boot as standardized is designed to optimized for such a descent, but it is not suitable for climbing phases. For this, the document WO2009003904 proposes a solution in which a shoe has two front and rear housing under its sole, in which inserts are fixed to finalize the shoe. In this solution, two different sets of front and rear inserts respectively allow to form a shoe that conforms to the standard of alpine ski boots or adapted to the practice of hiking ski touring. The advantage of this solution is to allow the same shoe shell to be used for the two different uses. This document specifies that the front insert of the boot intended to form the ski touring boot is adapted to the standard defined by the document EP0199098 , and thus includes the two hollow portions formed by a Lowtech insert.

Dans cette dernière solution, l'insert est fixé au reste de la chaussure par des vis verticales. Cette solution présente les inconvénients suivants :

  • ces vis sont directement vissées dans le matériau plastique de la talonnette de la chaussure et ce dispositif n'est pas adapté à de nombreuses opérations de vissage/dévissage car le plastique s'use très vite, le filetage se dégrade et devient non opérationnel, ce qui augmente les risques d'arrachement tels que décrits ci-dessous ;
  • en effet, l'insert Lowtech subit des efforts importants exercés par l'intermédiaire du dispositif de fixation de la chaussure lors de la pratique du ski. Ces efforts se répercutent sur les vis de fixation de la talonnette et risquent d'induire l'arrachement de la talonnette ;
  • les vis sont positionnées hors de la zone de l'insert Lowtech et sont ainsi éloignées de la zone subissant les efforts importants, ce qui n'est pas favorable au meilleur maintien ;
  • de plus, les pointes du dispositif de fixation sont susceptibles de s'insérer entre la talonnette et le reste de la chaussure dans certaines configurations de chute, notamment les chutes combinant différents effets de torsion comme lors de chutes avant ou arrière par exemple, entraînant l'arrachement de la talonnette.
In the latter solution, the insert is attached to the rest of the shoe by vertical screws. This solution has the following drawbacks:
  • these screws are directly screwed into the plastic material of the heel of the shoe and this device is not suitable for many screwing / unscrewing operations because the plastic wears out very quickly, the thread is degraded and becomes non-operational, this which increases the risks of tearing as described below;
  • indeed, the Lowtech insert undergoes significant forces exerted through the shoe attachment device during the practice of skiing. These efforts have repercussions on the fastening screws of the heel and may induce tearing of the heel;
  • the screws are positioned outside the area of the Lowtech insert and are thus removed from the area undergoing significant efforts, which is not conducive to better maintenance;
  • in addition, the points of the fastening device are likely to be inserted between the heel and the rest of the shoe in certain fall configurations, including the falls combining different torsion effects such as for example in front or rear falls, resulting in tearing off the heel.

EP2 250 916 divulgue les caractéristiques du préambule de la revendication 1. Un objet général de l'invention consiste à proposer une chaussure de ski à talonnette ne comprenant pas tout ou partie des inconvénients de l'état de la technique, et notamment réduisant voire empêchant tout arrachement de la talonnette. EP2 250 916 discloses the features of the preamble of claim 1. A general object of the invention is to provide a heeled ski boot does not include all or part of the disadvantages of the state of the art, including reducing or even preventing any tearing of the heel.

L'invention repose sur un dispositif de fixation d'une talonnette à l'aide d'au moins une vis sensiblement horizontale. D'autre part, cette vis est avantageusement uniquement vissée dans un insert métallique de la coque.The invention is based on a device for fixing a heel piece using at least one substantially horizontal screw.

Dans la description suivante, nous utiliserons la direction longitudinale x pour la direction horizontale orientée de l'arrière vers l'avant par rapport à la chaussure, la direction transversale y pour la direction horizontale perpendiculaire, et la direction verticale z perpendiculaire aux deux précédentes, orientée vers le haut de la chaussure. D'autre part, les mêmes références seront utilisées pour les différentes variantes de réalisation pour désigner des mêmes caractéristiques.In the following description, we will use the longitudinal direction x for the horizontal direction oriented from back to front with respect to the shoe, the transverse direction y for the horizontal direction perpendicular, and the vertical direction z perpendicular to the two previous, oriented towards the top of the shoe. On the other hand, the same references will be used for the different embodiments to designate the same characteristics.

Les figures illustrent une partie inférieure de chaussure de ski. Pour une raison de simplification de la visualisation, seule la partie inférieure de la coque 1 de la chaussure est représentée, de manière à visualiser des inserts métalliques de maintien 2, 7, 8 et 9 intégrés au niveau de la surface inférieure de la coque 1. Cette coque 1 comprend une semelle incomplète et deux logements pour recevoir une talonnette avant 10 et une talonnette arrière 20, qui sont des éléments distincts de la coque 1, qui se fixent de manière amovible dans ces logements de la coque 1 pour finaliser la coque et la chaussure de ski. Cette partie basse de chaussure finalisée est notamment visible sur la figure 3 en vue de côté. De manière traditionnelle, la coque est formée en matériau plastique, par une ou plusieurs étapes d'injection. Elle peut par exemple se présenter dans un polyuréthane de dureté comprise entre 45 et 55 ShD.The figures illustrate a lower part of a ski boot. For reasons of simplification of the visualization, only the lower part of the shell 1 of the shoe is shown, so as to display metal inserts 2, 7, 8 and 9 integrated at the bottom surface of the shell 1 This shell 1 comprises an incomplete sole and two housings for receiving a front heel 10 and a rear heel 20, which are distinct elements of the shell 1, which are fixed removably in these housing of the shell 1 to finalize the hull. and the ski boot. This bottom part of finalized shoe is notably visible on the figure 3 in side view. Traditionally, the shell is formed of plastic material, by one or more injection steps. It may for example be in a polyurethane hardness between 45 and 55 ShD.

Naturellement, la chaussure de ski peut comprendre aussi un collier articulé sur la coque 1. Un chausson de confort est inséré dans la tige rigide de cette chaussure.Naturally, the ski boot may also include a hinged collar on the shell 1. A comfort boot is inserted into the rigid upper of this shoe.

La talonnette avant 10 comprend un insert métallique de fixation 12, qui peut être un insert Lowtech par exemple, qui forme les deux parties creuses de fixation 11 permettant à la chaussure de coopérer avec un dispositif de fixation de la chaussure sur un ski de randonnée, notamment de manière compatible avec le standard Dynafit®, à titre non limitatif. Elle comprend ainsi une hauteur suffisante pour l'intégration de l'insert métallique de fixation 12. Ce dernier est particulièrement visible sur la coupe transversale de la figure 6. La talonnette intègre aussi une paroi extrême frontale 13 de hauteur telle qu'elle forme ainsi tout ou au moins une partie significative du trottoir avant de la chaussure, de préférence au moins 75% de la hauteur du trottoir avant de la chaussure. Cette talonnette se présente avantageusement en un matériau plastique, formé par surinjection sur l'insert métallique de fixation 12. En variante, deux matériaux plastiques de rigidité différente peuvent être utilisés, par un procédé de fabrication à deux injections.The front heel 10 comprises a metal fastening insert 12, which may be a Lowtech insert for example, which forms the two hollow fastening portions 11 allowing the shoe to cooperate with a device for fixing the boot on a touring ski, in particular in a manner compatible with the Dynafit® standard, without limitation. It thus comprises a height sufficient for the integration of the metal fastening insert 12. The latter is particularly visible on the cross section of the figure 6 . The heel also incorporates a front end wall 13 of height such that it thus forms all or at least a significant portion of the front sidewalk of the shoe, preferably at least 75% of the height of the front sidewalk of the shoe. This heel is advantageously made of a plastic material, formed by over-injection on the metal fixing insert 12. In a variant, two plastic materials of different rigidity can be used, by a two-injection manufacturing method.

La talonnette arrière 20 se présente de même en matériau plastique injecté. Elle comprend une paroi extrême arrière 23 de hauteur telle qu'elle forme tout ou au moins une partie significative du trottoir arrière de la chaussure, de préférence au moins 75% de la hauteur du trottoir arrière de la chaussure. Elle comprend aussi un insert métallique 22 logé au niveau d'un évidement 21 de sa surface arrière, formant un élément de coopération avec un dispositif de fixation d'un ski de randonnée.The rear heel 20 is likewise made of injected plastic material. It comprises a rear end wall 23 of height such that it forms all or at least a significant portion of the rear sidewalk of the shoe, preferably at least 75% of the height of the rear sidewalk of the shoe. It also comprises a metal insert 22 housed at a recess 21 of its rear surface, forming a cooperation element with a device for fixing a touring ski.

Dans ce mode de réalisation, la talonnette avant 10 est fixée à la coque 1 par un agencement très résistant qui permet d'empêcher l'arrachement involontaire de la talonnette avant 10. Pour cela, cette fixation est obtenue par l'intermédiaire de quatre vis verticales 14 et deux vis horizontales 15. Toutes ces vis coopèrent avec des filetages d'inserts métalliques 2, 7 intégrés dans la partie inférieure de la coque 1. L'insert antérieur 2 se présente en forme de U horizontal, présentant une surface horizontale 4 formant deux ailes latérales d'où s'étendent vers le bas dans une direction sensiblement verticale deux oreilles 5. Cette structure permet de former deux ouvertures filetées au sein de la surface horizontale 4, d'axe vertical, pour recevoir deux vis de fixation verticales 14. En remarque, ces deux vis verticales 14 traversent des ouvertures de l'insert métallique 12 pour assurer un maintien global de l'ensemble. Elles traversent aussi des ouvertures 34 formées dans la surface inférieure de la paroi plastique de la coque 1, au-delà desquelles sont insérées les deux oreilles 5 de l'insert 2 s'étendant vers le bas, qui pénètrent dans des logements usinés dans la talonnière. De plus, cette structure de l'insert métallique 2 antérieur permet de former deux ouvertures latérales d'axe horizontal transversal munies d'un filetage et d'une épaisseur suffisante dans la direction transversale y, pour recevoir deux vis de fixation horizontales 15. L'insert métallique arrière 7 forme uniquement deux logements pour la réception de deux vis de fixation verticales 14.In this embodiment, the front heel 10 is fixed to the shell 1 by a very strong arrangement that prevents the involuntary tearing of the front heel 10. For this, this fixing is obtained by means of four screws vertical 14 and two horizontal screws 15. All these screws cooperate with threads of metal inserts 2, 7 integrated into the lower part of the shell 1. The front insert 2 is in the shape of a horizontal U, having a horizontal surface 4 forming two lateral wings from which extend downwards in a substantially vertical direction two ears 5. This structure makes it possible to form two threaded openings within the horizontal surface 4, of vertical axis, to receive two vertical fixing screws 14. Note that these two vertical screws 14 through openings of the metal insert 12 to ensure overall maintenance of the assembly. They also go through apertures 34 formed in the lower surface of the plastic wall of the shell 1, beyond which are inserted the two ears 5 of the insert 2 extending downwards, which penetrate into housing machined in the heel. In addition, this structure of the prior metal insert 2 makes it possible to form two lateral openings of horizontal transverse axis provided with a thread and of sufficient thickness in the transverse direction y, to receive two horizontal fixing screws 15. L Rear metal insert 7 forms only two housings for receiving two vertical fixing screws 14.

De manière similaire, la talonnette arrière 20 est fixée à la coque par l'intermédiaire de quatre vis de fixation verticales 14 et deux vis de fixation horizontales 15, par l'intermédiaire de deux inserts métalliques de maintien 8, 9 de formes similaires aux inserts utilisés pour la talonnette avant. Tous ces inserts métalliques de maintien sont plus particulièrement représentés sur les figures 7 et 8. En remarque, les oreilles 5 de l'insert 9 s'étendent vers le haut, ce qui évite de prévoir un logement au sein de la talonnière et permet la fixation de cette dernière par une vis 15 disposée la plus haute possible.Similarly, the rear heel 20 is fixed to the shell by means of four vertical fixing screws 14 and two horizontal fixing screws 15, by means of two metal holding inserts 8, 9 of shapes similar to the inserts. used for the front heel. All these metal inserts of maintenance are more particularly represented on the Figures 7 and 8 . Note, the ears 5 of the insert 9 extend upwards, which avoids providing a housing within the heel and allows the attachment of the latter by a screw 15 arranged as high as possible.

Tous les inserts métalliques 2, 7, 8, 9 sont fixés sur la surface inférieure de la coque, par exemple par clippage, voire encastrés par tout moyen, pour assurer leur maintien stable à l'intérieur de la coque de la chaussure. En variante, ils pourraient être fixés par tout moyen mécanique ou non, voire simplement posés dans un logement dans la coque.All the metal inserts 2, 7, 8, 9 are fixed on the lower surface of the shell, for example by clipping, or even recessed by any means, to ensure their stable retention inside the shell of the shoe. Alternatively, they could be fixed by any mechanical means or not, or simply placed in a housing in the hull.

En variante, les inserts pourraient naturellement se présenter sous une autre forme, tant qu'ils forment des parties filetées sensiblement horizontales et sensiblement verticales pour recevoir les vis de fixation mentionnées. En variante, les orientations des vis peuvent varier de plus ou moins 20 degrés par rapport aux directions verticale et/ou horizontale. Nous entendrons donc par vis de fixation horizontale ou verticale une vis s'étendant dans une direction sensiblement horizontale ou verticale, à plus ou moins 20 degrés. Naturellement, le nombre de ces vis peut aussi varier. Toutefois, selon ce mode de réalisation, au moins une vis de fixation verticale et au moins une vis de fixation horizontale sont utilisée. D'autre part, la vis de fixation horizontale s'étend dans une direction sensiblement transversale dans le mode de réalisation, deux vis transversales symétriquement réparties de part et d'autre de la chaussure étant implémentées. Naturellement, une vis de fixation horizontale pourrait en variante s'étendre dans une direction longitudinale, voire toute autre direction intermédiaire entre les directions longitudinale et transversale.Alternatively, the inserts could of course be in another form, as long as they form substantially horizontal and substantially vertical threaded portions to receive the mentioned fastening screws. In a variant, the orientations of the screws can vary moreover or minus 20 degrees from the vertical and / or horizontal directions. We therefore mean by horizontal or vertical fixing screw a screw extending in a substantially horizontal or vertical direction, plus or minus 20 degrees. Of course, the number of these screws can also vary. However, according to this embodiment, at least one vertical fixing screw and at least one horizontal fixing screw are used. On the other hand, the horizontal fixing screw extends in a substantially transverse direction in the embodiment, two transverse screws symmetrically distributed on either side of the shoe being implemented. Naturally, a horizontal fixing screw could alternatively extend in a longitudinal direction, or any other direction intermediate between the longitudinal and transverse directions.

Selon un aspect avantageux de ce mode de réalisation de l'invention, les vis de fixation horizontales 15 sont entièrement vissées dans l'insert métallique de maintien correspondant, ne sont pas vissées dans le matériau plastique formant la coque. Cela permet d'éviter l'usure mentionnée avec les solutions de l'état de la technique. Cette caractéristique apparaît sur les coupes transverses des figures 4 et 5 au niveau de ces vis de fixation horizontales et transversales. Il apparaît bien que les vis traversent des ouvertures 3 de la paroi latérale de la coque 1, sans contact ou quasiment sans contact avec ces parois, pour venir coopérer avec le filetage métallique correspondant agencé dans l'insert de maintien, comme cela est notamment visible sur la figure 5. Selon ce mode de réalisation, la même configuration est aussi appliquée pour les vis de fixation verticales 14.According to an advantageous aspect of this embodiment of the invention, the horizontal fixing screws 15 are entirely screwed into the corresponding metal holding insert, are not screwed into the plastic material forming the shell. This makes it possible to avoid the wear mentioned with the solutions of the state of the art. This characteristic appears on cross sections of Figures 4 and 5 at these horizontal and transverse fixing screws. It appears that the screws pass through openings 3 of the side wall of the shell 1, without contact or virtually without contact with these walls, to cooperate with the corresponding metal thread arranged in the holding insert, as is particularly visible on the figure 5 . According to this embodiment, the same configuration is also applied for the vertical fixing screws 14.

La figure 9 représente une vue de dessous de la chaussure assemblée. On distingue la forme de la semelle finalisée, adaptée au ski de randonnée, notamment la phase de montée de la randonnée. Chaque talonnette 10, 20 est fixée par quatre vis de fixation verticales 14.The figure 9 represents a bottom view of the assembled shoe. We distinguish the shape of the finalized sole, adapted to the ski of hiking, especially the climbing phase of the hike. Each heel 10, 20 is fixed by four vertical fixing screws 14.

La figure 10 représente une vue de côté selon une coupe par le plan longitudinal médian. On distingue les quatre inserts 2, 7, 8, 9 positionnés sur la surface inférieure de la coque 1. Il apparaît aussi qu'en position assemblée, la hauteur des parois extrêmes frontale 13 et arrière 23 des talonnettes respectives avant 10 et arrière 20 forme la totalité de la hauteur des trottoirs de la chaussure. Pour faciliter l'assemblage, ces surfaces 13, 23 présentent une partie creuse dans laquelle vient se positionner une extension longitudinale de la coque 1. Cela facilite le bon positionnement relatif des talonnettes et de la coque, et participe à leur maintien.The figure 10 represents a side view in a section through the median longitudinal plane. There are four inserts 2, 7, 8, 9 positioned on the lower surface of the shell 1. It also appears that in the assembled position, the height of the front end walls 13 and rear 23 respective front heel 10 and rear 20 form the entire height of the sidewalks of the shoe. To facilitate assembly, these surfaces 13, 23 have a hollow portion in which is positioned a longitudinal extension of the shell 1. This facilitates the relative positioning of heelettes and the shell, and helps maintain them.

Les figures 11 et 12 montrent les mêmes vues que les figures 9 et 10, dans lesquelles les talonnettes ont été retirées. Cela permet de visualiser les ouvertures 34 de la paroi inférieure plastique de la coque, permettant le passage des vis de fixation verticales vers les inserts métalliques de maintien 2, 7, 8, 9.The Figures 11 and 12 show the same views as the figures 9 and 10 , in which the heels were removed. This makes it possible to visualize the openings 34 of the plastic bottom wall of the shell, allowing the vertical fixing screws to pass through to the metal holding inserts 2, 7, 8, 9.

L'invention porte aussi sur une chaussure équipée de plusieurs ensembles de talonnettes amovibles de géométries différentes, mais aptes à une association avec la semelle incomplète de la tige rigide de la chaussure. Ainsi, une chaussure de ski formée par l'utilisation d'un premier ensemble de semelle amovible la rendant conforme à la norme ISO 5355 du ski alpin peut être transformée à l'aide d'un second ensemble de semelle amovible de manière à obtenir une semelle conforme à la norme ISO 9523 pour la pratique du ski de randonnée. Un résultat obtenu par cet effet technique est de permettre d'avoir un ensemble chaussant peu encombrant dont l'utilisation est prévue pour une transformation permettant une utilisation pour le ski alpin et le ski de randonnée.The invention also relates to a shoe equipped with several sets of removable heelettes of different geometries, but suitable for association with the incomplete sole of the rigid upper of the shoe. Thus, a ski boot formed by the use of a first set of removable sole making it conform to the ISO 5355 standard of the alpine ski can be transformed using a second set of removable sole so as to obtain a sole complies with the ISO 9523 standard for the practice of ski touring. A result obtained by this technical effect is to allow to have a footwear assembly space-saving whose use is provided for a transformation allowing use for downhill skiing and ski touring.
