Description

La présente invention concerne une chaussure, notamment une chaussure de sport.The present invention relates to a shoe, especially a sports shoe.

Une telle chaussure peut être utilisée notamment pour le tennis, le badminton, le volleyball, le football, le baseball, le basketball ou la boxe. Ces sports comportent des risques de lésions de la cheville, par exemple des entorses.Such a shoe can be used especially for tennis, badminton, volleyball, football, baseball, basketball or boxing. These sports involve risks of ankle injuries, such as sprains.

US 4,513,520 divulgue une chaussure de ski qui comprend une coque externe rigide. US 4,513,520 discloses a ski boot that includes a rigid outer shell.

US-B-8,302,329 divulgue une chaussure de basketball équipée d'une bande de maintien ancrée du côté latéral de la chaussure et entourant la partie arrière de la chaussure. Cette bande est attachée à l'avant du pied par des lacets. La bande de maintien permet à la partie arrière de la chaussure, en cas de mouvement latéral du pied, de maintenir le pied de manière à le stabiliser. US-B-8302329 discloses a basketball shoe with a support strap anchored to the side of the shoe and surrounding the rear portion of the shoe. This band is attached to the front of the foot by laces. The support band allows the rear part of the shoe, in case of lateral movement of the foot, to maintain the foot so as to stabilize it.

La bande de maintien limite les entorses de la cheville, en s'opposant au mouvement d'inversion du pied, qui porte la face plantaire vers l'intérieur, c'est-à-dire en médial, en soulevant le bord médial du pied. Cette action de la bande de maintien ne permet pas, en cas de début de mouvement d'inversion du pied, d'éviter que ce mouvement s'amplifie et amène le pied dans une position susceptible d'entrainer une lésion de la cheville. Lorsque la cheville se tord brutalement, la bande de maintien n'est pas assez efficace pour empêcher la cheville de se tordre.The retaining band limits sprains of the ankle, by opposing the inversion movement of the foot, which carries the plantar surface inward, that is to say medially, by lifting the medial edge of the foot . This action of the holding band does not allow, in case of beginning of inversion movement of the foot, to prevent this movement amplifies and brings the foot into a position likely to cause an injury to the ankle. When the ankle twists sharply, the support band is not effective enough to prevent the ankle from bending.

C'est à ces inconvénients qu'entend plus particulièrement remédier l'invention en proposant une chaussure permettant d'éviter l'apparition de lésions de la cheville. L'invention cherche aussi à améliorer la proprioception, c'est-à-dire à amener un utilisateur à mieux percevoir les informations sensorielles en provenance du sol vers le pied, la cheville, ou le bas de jambe. Il s'agit de rendre plus perceptibles les interactions entre le sol et la chaussure.It is these drawbacks that the invention more particularly intends to remedy by proposing a shoe that makes it possible to prevent the appearance of ankle injuries. The invention also seeks to improve proprioception, that is to say to lead a user to better perceive the sensory information from the ground to the foot, ankle, or lower leg. It is to make more perceptible the interactions between the soil and the shoe.

Pour ce faire, l'invention propose un article chaussant qui comprend les caractéristiques de la revendication 1. A cet effet, l'invention a pour objet une chaussure, comprenant :

  • un semelage,
  • une tige comprenant une première enveloppe qui comprend :
  • une portion basse, prévue pour entourer le pied d'un utilisateur,
  • une portion haute, prévue pour entourer la cheville ou la cheville et une partie du bas de jambe de l'utilisateur.
To do this, the invention provides an article of footwear which comprises the features of claim 1. For this purpose, the subject of the invention is a shoe, comprising:
  • a sole,
  • a stem comprising a first envelope which comprises:
  • a low portion, intended to surround the foot of a user,
  • a high portion, intended to surround the ankle or ankle and part of the lower leg of the user.

La chaussure comprend une bande de transmission d'information qui comprend :

  • une première portion solidarisée au semelage et/ou à la portion basse de la première enveloppe par des moyens de fixation, s'étendant le long de la première portion,
  • une deuxième portion apte à s'enrouler autour de la portion haute de la première enveloppe, prolongeant la première portion et comportant des premiers moyens d'accrochage aptes à coopérer avec des seconds moyens d'accrochage solidaires de la portion haute de la première enveloppe.
The shoe includes an information transmission band that includes:
  • a first portion secured to the sole assembly and / or the lower portion of the first casing by attachment means, extending along the first portion,
  • a second portion capable of wrapping around the upper portion of the first envelope, extending the first portion and having first hooking means adapted to cooperate with second fastening means secured to the upper portion of the first envelope.

On verra par la suite que, selon des formes de réalisation décrites, la première portion de la bande s'étend du côté latéral de la chaussure.It will be seen later that, according to embodiments described, the first portion of the band extends on the lateral side of the shoe.

Grâce à l'invention, lorsque le pied de l'utilisateur commence un mouvement d'inversion, l'utilisateur reçoit, par l'intermédiaire de la bande, une information relative à la position de sa cheville. De manière automatique, l'utilisateur corrige son mouvement afin d'éviter que le mouvement d'inversion ne s'amplifie. De cette manière, la bande évite les lésions de la cheville, en particulier les entorses, de manière préventive, c'est à dire que l'utilisateur corrige par lui-même son mouvement avant que la lésion ne s'initie.Thanks to the invention, when the foot of the user begins an inversion movement, the user receives, via the tape, information relating to the position of his ankle. Automatically, the user corrects his movement to prevent the inversion movement from increasing. In this way, the band avoids lesions of the ankle, in particular sprains, in a preventive manner, that is to say that the user corrects by itself its movement before the lesion is initiated.

Selon des aspects avantageux mais non obligatoires de l'invention, une telle chaussure peut incorporer une ou plusieurs des caractéristiques suivantes, prises dans toute combinaison techniquement admissible :

  • La deuxième portion de la bande est mobile entre une première position, où la deuxième portion de la bande n'est pas accrochée à la première enveloppe, et une deuxième position, où la deuxième portion de la bande entoure au moins partiellement la portion haute de la première enveloppe.
  • Dans la deuxième position, les premiers moyens d'accrochage coopèrent avec les seconds moyens d'accrochage.
  • Dans la deuxième position, la deuxième portion de la bande décrit une portion d'arc de cercle d'angle supérieur à 180°, de préférence supérieur à 270°.
  • Dans la deuxième position, la bande s'étend du côté latéral de la chaussure, au-delà d'un plan médian longitudinal de la chaussure.
  • La bande est moins élastique que la première enveloppe.
  • Les moyens d'accrochage sont constitués par des bandes autoagrippantes.
  • Une première extrémité de la bande est fixée au niveau de la jonction entre la tige et le semelage, par exemple au moyen d'une couture ou par collage.
  • Une première extrémité de la première portion de la bande est fixée du côté latéral de la chaussure, au niveau d'une zone de la chaussure prévue pour recevoir les métatarses du pied de l'utilisateur, la zone s'étendant, le long d'un axe longitudinal de la chaussure, entre une première borne et une deuxième borne situées respectivement à une première distance et à une deuxième distance d'un talon de la chaussure. La première distance est supérieure ou égale à 60% de la longueur totale de la chaussure. La deuxième distance étant inférieure ou égale à 85% de la longueur totale de la chaussure, la première distance étant strictement inférieure à la deuxième distance.
According to advantageous but non-mandatory aspects of the invention, such a shoe may incorporate one or more of the following features, taken in any technically permissible combination:
  • The second portion of the strip is movable between a first position, where the second portion of the strip is not attached to the first envelope, and a second position, where the second portion of the strip at least partially surrounds the upper portion of the strip. the first envelope.
  • In the second position, the first hooking means cooperate with the second attachment means.
  • In the second position, the second portion of the strip describes an arcuate portion of an angle greater than 180 °, preferably greater than 270 °.
  • In the second position, the band extends from the lateral side of the shoe, beyond a longitudinal median plane of the shoe.
  • The band is less elastic than the first envelope.
  • The attachment means are constituted by self-gripping strips.
  • A first end of the band is fixed at the junction between the rod and the sole, for example by means of a seam or by gluing.
  • A first end of the first portion of the band is attached to the lateral side of the shoe, at an area of the shoe provided to receive the metatarsal foot of the user, the area extending along a longitudinal axis of the shoe, between a first terminal and a second terminal respectively at a first distance and at a second distance from a heel of the boot. The first distance is greater than or equal to 60% of the total length of the shoe. The second distance being less than or equal to 85% of the total length of the shoe, the first distance being strictly less than the second distance.

L'extrémité libre 62.1 de la portion haute 62 définit une ouverture pour le passage du pied de l'utilisateur, lorsqu'il enfile la chaussure 1. Lorsque le pied est en place à l'intérieur de la chaussure 1, la partie supérieure 62 entoure le bas de la jambe et la cheville.The free end 62.1 of the upper portion 62 defines an opening for the passage of the foot of the user, when he puts on the shoe 1. When the foot is in place inside the shoe 1, the upper portion 62 surrounds the lower leg and ankle.

Une bande 7 de transmission d'information comprend une première extrémité 7.1 fixée au niveau de la jonction entre la tige 2 et le semelage 3, par exemple au moyen d'une couture ou par collage. La première extrémité 7.1 est située du côté latéral 13 de la chaussure, au niveau d'une zone Z de la chaussure 1 prévue pour recevoir les métatarses du pied de l'utilisateur.An information transmission band 7 comprises a first end 7.1 fixed at the junction between the rod 2 and the sole assembly 3, for example by means of a seam or by gluing.

Alternatively, a distance D2 of less than or equal to 75% can be provided.

La distance D1 est strictement inférieure à la distance D2.The distance D1 is strictly less than the distance D2.

La zone Z est une zone d'ancrage de la première extrémité 7.1 de la bande 7, c'est-à-dire que la première extrémité 7.1 de la bande 7 est incluse dans la zone Z. Ainsi, la largeur de la bande 7, au niveau de la première extrémité 7.1, est inférieure ou égale à la longueur D2 - D1 de la zone Z.The zone Z is an anchoring zone of the first end 7.1 of the strip 7, that is to say that the first end 7.1 of the strip 7 is included in the zone Z. Thus, the width of the strip 7 , at the first end 7.1, is less than or equal to the length D2 - D1 of the zone Z.

La bande 7 comprend une première portion 71 qui s'étend à partir de la première extrémité 7.1 et qui est située entre l'enveloppe extérieure 4 et le chausson intérieur 6 de la tige 2. La première portion 71 est fixée au chausson intérieur 6 par des moyens de fixation s'étendant le long de la première portion 71, par exemple au moyen de coutures 74.The band 7 comprises a first portion 71 which extends from the first end 7.1 and which is located between the outer shell 4 and the inner liner 6 of the rod 2. The first portion 71 is fixed to the inner liner 6 by fixing means extending along the first portion 71, for example by means of seams 74.

La première portion 71 est dissimulée sous l'enveloppe extérieure 4 et s'étend selon une direction D qui comprend une composante axiale A parallèle à l'axe X et dirigée dans un sens allant de l'extrémité avant 12 vers le talon 11. La direction D comprend également une composante B parallèle à un axe Y globalement perpendiculaire au plan du semelage 3. L'axe Y est globalement parallèle à la jambe de l'utilisateur. La composante B est orientée vers le haut le long de l'axe Y lorsque la chaussure 1 repose sur une surface horizontale.The first portion 71 is concealed under the outer shell 4 and extends in a direction D which comprises an axial component A parallel to the axis X and directed in a direction from the front end 12 to the heel 11. The direction D also comprises a component B parallel to a Y axis generally perpendicular to the plane of the sole 3. The Y axis is generally parallel to the leg of the user. The component B is oriented upwards along the Y axis when the shoe 1 rests on a horizontal surface.

La bande 7 comprend une deuxième portion 72 qui prolonge la première portion 71, à l'extérieur de l'enveloppe extérieure 4, et qui n'est pas fixée à la tige 2. La deuxième portion est prévue pour s'enrouler autour de la portion haute 62 du chausson intérieur 6, de manière à enserrer la portion haute 62 et le bas de la jambe de l'utilisateur. La deuxième portion 72 se termine par une extrémité libre 7.2, opposée à la première extrémité 7.1.The band 7 comprises a second portion 72 which extends the first portion 71, outside the outer casing 4, and which is not fixed to the rod 2. The second portion is provided to wrap around the upper portion 62 of the inner liner 6, so as to grip the upper portion 62 and the bottom of the leg of the user. The second portion 72 ends with a free end 7.2, opposite to the first end 7.1.

La face intérieure de la deuxième portion 72 est pourvue, du côté de l'extrémité libre, de premiers moyens d'accroche 73.1, tels que des crochets d'une bande autoaggripante ou Velcro (marque déposée), prévus pour s'accrocher à des deuxièmes moyens d'accroche 73.2 solidaires du chausson intérieur 6, tels que du velours d'une deuxième bande autoaggripante.The inner face of the second portion 72 is provided, on the free end side, with first attachment means 73.1, such as hooks of a self-gripping tape or Velcro (registered trademark), intended to hold on to the ends of the free end. second attachment means 73.2 secured to the inner liner 6, such as the velvet of a second self-gripping band.

L'enveloppe extérieure 4 de la tige 2 est fabriquée à partir d'un matériau relativement souple tel qu'une couche ou une superposition de plusieurs couches, lesquelles peuvent être en matière naturelle ou synthétique. De manière non limitative, une couche peut être faite de cuir, de polyuréthane en feuille ou de matière équivalente, de fils assemblés les uns aux autres mécaniquement, ou autre.The outer shell 4 of the rod 2 is made from a relatively soft material such as a layer or a superposition of several layers, which may be of natural or synthetic material. Without limitation, a layer may be made of leather, polyurethane sheet or equivalent material, son assembled to each other mechanically, or other.

Le chausson intérieur 6 est fabriqué à partir d'un matériau relativement et légèrement élastique, comprenant par exemple des fils de matière synthétique assemblés les uns aux autres mécaniquement, selon des techniques telles que le tissage, le tricotage, ou autres, de manière à suivre les mouvements du pied et de la cheville.The inner liner 6 is made from a relatively and slightly elastic material, including for example synthetic yarns joined together mechanically, according to techniques such as weaving, knitting, or the like, so as to follow the movements of the foot and ankle.

La bande 7 est fabriquée à partir d'un matériau souple et inextensible, par exemple une sangle tressée ou tissée, une bande de matière synthétique, ou autre. En variante, la bande 7 est faiblement extensible, ce qui procure un meilleur confort à l'utilisateur. Dans tous les cas, la bande 7 est moins élastique que le chausson intérieur 6 auquel elle est fixée.The strip 7 is made from a flexible and inextensible material, for example a braided or woven webbing, a plastic web, or the like. Alternatively, the band 7 is slightly extensible, which provides better comfort to the user. In all cases, the band 7 is less elastic than the inner shoe 6 to which it is attached.

Le fonctionnement est le suivant. L'utilisateur détache l'extrémité libre 7.2 de la bande 7 des deuxièmes moyens d'accroche, puis insère son pied dans le chausson intérieur 6, au niveau de l'extrémité libre. Une fois le pied en place dans le chausson intérieur 6, l'utilisateur attrape l'extrémité libre 7.2 de la bande 7 pour l'enrouler autour de la portion haute 62 du chausson intérieur 6, de manière à enserrer sa cheville et le bas de sa jambe. Puis, l'utilisateur fait coopérer les premier et les deuxième moyens d'accroche, par exemple en exerçant une pression sur les premiers moyens d'accroche.The operation is as follows. The user detaches the free end 7.2 of the band 7 of the second attachment means, and then inserts his foot into the inner liner 6, at the free end. Once the foot in place in the inner liner 6, the user catches the free end 7.2 of the band 7 to wrap around the upper portion 62 of the inner liner 6, so as to grip his ankle and the bottom of his leg. Then, the user makes cooperate the first and second attachment means, for example by exerting pressure on the first attachment means.

Ainsi, la bande 7 est mobile entre une première position, représentée à la figure 2, où l'extrémité libre 7.2 de la bande 7 n'est pas accrochée au chausson intérieur 6, et une deuxième position, représentée à la figure 1, où la bande 7 entoure au moins partiellement la portion haute 62 du chausson intérieur 6 et est accrochée à la portion haute 62.Thus, the strip 7 is movable between a first position, represented at figure 2 , where the free end 7.2 of the strip 7 is not attached to the inner liner 6, and a second position, shown in FIG. figure 1 , where the band 7 at least partially surrounds the upper portion 62 of the inner liner 6 and is attached to the upper portion 62.

Dans la deuxième position, la deuxième portion 72 de la bande 7 décrit une portion d'arc de cercle, autour de l'axe Y, d'angle α supérieur à 180°, de préférence supérieur à 270°.In the second position, the second portion 72 of the strip 7 describes a circular arc portion, around the Y axis, of angle α greater than 180 °, preferably greater than 270 °.

Dans la deuxième position, la bande 7 s'étend du côté latéral de la chaussure 1, au-delà d'un plan médian longitudinal P de la chaussure, qui passe par l'axe X et qui partage la chaussure 1 en une partie latérale et une partie médiale.In the second position, the band 7 extends on the lateral side of the shoe 1, beyond a longitudinal median plane P of the shoe, which passes through the X axis and which shares the shoe 1 in a lateral part and a medial part.

Lors de l'utilisation de la chaussure 1, par exemple pour la pratique du tennis, lorsque le pied de l'utilisateur commence un mouvement d'inversion, la bande 7, qui est peu ou pas élastique, est sollicitée mécaniquement par le pied de l'utilisateur. Cette contrainte mécanique est transmise à la cheville et au bas de la jambe par l'intermédiaire de la bande 7. Ainsi, l'utilisateur reçoit, par l'intermédiaire de la bande 7, une information relative à la position de sa cheville. De manière automatique, l'utilisateur peut corriger son mouvement afin d'éviter que le mouvement d'inversion ne s'amplifie. De cette manière, la bande 7 évite les lésions de la cheville, en particulier les entorses, de manière préventive, c'est à dire que l'utilisateur corrige par lui-même son mouvement avant que la lésion ne s'initie.When using the shoe 1, for example for the practice of tennis, when the foot of the user begins a reversal movement, the band 7, which is little or not elastic, is mechanically stressed by the foot of the user. This mechanical stress is transmitted to the ankle and the lower leg via the band 7. Thus, the user receives, through the band 7, information relating to the position of his ankle. Automatically, the user can correct his movement to prevent the inversion movement increases. In this way, the band 7 avoids lesions of the ankle, in particular sprains, preventively, that is to say that the user corrects by itself its movement before the lesion is initiated.
