Description

SUPPORT DE MAINTIEN DE CHAUSSETTE DE SPORT DOMAINE TECHNIQUE DE L'INVENTION  SUPPORT FOR MAINTAINING A SPORTS SOCK TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION
[0001] La présente invention concerne un support de maintien pour membre inférieur. Elle se rapporte plus particulièrement à un support de maintien de chaussette lors de la pratique d'un sport. The present invention relates to a support for lower limb. It relates more particularly to a sock support during the practice of a sport.
ETAT DE LA TECHNIQUE ANTERIEURE STATE OF THE PRIOR ART
[0002] Les chaussettes sont utiles pour la pratique de certains sports, particulièrement le football et le rugby. Elles s'avèrent néanmoins parfois gênantes pour le joueur car, sous l'effet des chocs sur le sol lorsque le joueur se déplace, en particulier en courant, il se produit un effet de glissement de celle-ci vers le bas. Les chaussettes se retrouvent donc régulièrement en position basse le long de la cheville, ce qui occasionne de nombreuses difficultés. Ce désagrément est particulièrement gênant lors des compétitions sportives. Tout d'abord, le joueur, subit une gêne due au glissement. Il doit régulièrement voir à remonter les chaussettes, ce qui est non seulement désagréable, mais peut être source de distraction lors d'une phase de jeux importante. Outre un désagrément physique ressenti par le joueur, celui-ci se trouve également distrait et déconcentré. Enfin, certaines réglementations nationales ou internationales de certains sports (comme par exemple le football français, qui dispose de règles en la matière) disposent qu'il est interdit de cacher les signes d'identification tels que des symboles, des signes, couleurs, ou autres, apposés sur les vêtements, y compris les chaussettes. Ces règles visent à faciliter l'identification des joueurs par exemple par l'arbitre, et à éviter toute distraction de ce dernier. [0003] On connaît certains dispositifs permettant de maintenir les chaussettes en position haute. Les dispositifs existants conduisent à occulter les signes d'identifications des équipes qui ne sont alors plus visibles par l'arbitre. The socks are useful for the practice of certain sports, particularly football and rugby. However, they are sometimes inconvenient for the player because, under the effect of shocks on the ground when the player moves, especially when running, there is a sliding effect thereof down. The socks are therefore regularly found in the low position along the ankle, which causes many difficulties. This inconvenience is particularly troublesome during sports competitions. First of all, the player suffers an embarrassment due to the slip. He must regularly see to go up the socks, which is not only unpleasant, but can be distracting during a major game phase. In addition to a physical discomfort felt by the player, it is also distracted and deconcentrated. Finally, certain national or international regulations of certain sports (such as French football, which has rules in this area) provide that it is forbidden to hide the identification signs such as symbols, signs, colors, or other, affixed to clothing, including socks. These rules are intended to facilitate the identification of players for example by the referee, and to avoid any distraction of the latter. Some devices are known to maintain the socks in the high position. The existing devices lead to obscure the identification signs of teams that are no longer visible by the referee.
[0004] Il est connu du document US4326299 un brassard de protection de cheville rembourré fixé autour de celle-ci afin de protéger tant la cheville que le tendon d'Achille et plus généralement le pied du sportif. It is known from US4326299 a padded ankle protection armband fixed around it to protect both the ankle as the Achilles tendon and more generally the athlete's foot.
[0005] Il est également connu du document FR2896381 une chaussette à poche pour protège tibia à enfiler au dessus de la chaussette de football. Le dispositif est constitué d'une chaussette sur laquelle est cousu une poche en forme de protège tibia, que l'on referme à l'aide d'une bande refermable tel qu'une bande à boucles et crochets. It is also known from FR2896381 a pocket sock shin guards to put on top of the football sock. The device consists of a sock on which is sewn a pouch-shaped shin guard, which is closed with a resealable tape such as a band with loops and hooks.
[0006] Il est également connu du document FR2927772 une chaussette de football combinée avec un protège tibia. Le dispositif permet de combiner les protège-tibias et la chaussette. It is also known from FR2927772 a football sock combined with a shin guard. The device makes it possible to combine the shin guards and the sock.
[0007] Le document DE20010515 présente la particularité d'un mécanisme de maintien du protège tibia à l'aide de manchons. Ceux-ci sont mis en place par des élastiques resserrés en dessous et au-dessus du protège tibia. The document DE20010515 has the particularity of a mechanism for holding the shin guard using sleeves. These are put in place by elastics tightened below and above the shin guards.
[0008] Le document DE29706358, quant à lui, présente également un système de manchons maintenant le protège-tibia à l'aide d'un système refermable tel qu'une bande à boucles et crochets. The document DE29706358, meanwhile, also has a sleeve system now the shin guard using a resealable system such as a loop band and hooks.
[0009] Pour autant, ces différentes solutions ne règlent pas la problématique du glissement de la chaussette du sportif lors de la pratique du sport. En outre, ces solutions présentent l'inconvénient d'occulter la chaussette sur laquelle ils sont installés. [0009] However, these different solutions do not solve the problem of the sliding of the sock of the sportsman during the practice Sport. In addition, these solutions have the disadvantage of obscuring the sock on which they are installed.
[0010] Il est également connu du document WO03063622 une chaussette équipée de deux cordons bloqués par deux arrêts cordons positionnés derrière la chaussette. Ces cordons sont reçus dans des gaines horizontales disposée l'une sous le genou et l'autre au niveau de la cheville espacée verticalement d'une hauteur légèrement supérieure à celle d'un protège tibia et ressortent à l'arrière par un œillet. Quand l'utilisateur exerce une pression sur les arrêts cordons et une tension sur les deux extrémités des deux cordons ronds, ces deux cordons viennent fixer à la convenance la chaussette. It is also known from WO03063622 a sock equipped with two cords blocked by two cord stops positioned behind the sock. These cords are received in horizontal sheaths arranged one under the knee and the other at the vertically spaced ankle of a height slightly greater than that of a shin guard and emerge at the rear by an eyelet. When the user exerts pressure on the cords and tension on both ends of the two round cords, these two cords come to fix the sock suitably.
[0011] L'inconvénient d'un tel mécanisme est qu'il ne s'adapte pas à toutes les chaussettes et nécessite donc l'achat de plusieurs paires de chaussettes pourvues du mécanisme. The disadvantage of such a mechanism is that it does not fit all socks and therefore requires the purchase of several pairs of socks provided with the mechanism.
[0012] Il est également connu du document FR2837359 un dispositif pour maintenir la chaussette du footballeur sous le genou à l'aide d'un ruban élastique et d'un lacet. Le ruban élastique est situé juste en dessous du genou et est incisé de façon verticale, de manière à y glisser un lacet. Le lacet, une fois inséré à l'intérieur du ruban élastique est noué. Il permet un maintien de la chaussette au dessous du genou lors de la course du joueur. It is also known from FR2837359 a device for maintaining the sock of the footballer under the knee using an elastic tape and a lace. The elastic band is located just below the knee and is vertically incised to slip a lace. The lace, once inserted inside the elastic band is tied. It allows the sock to be held below the knee during the player's run.
[0013] Néanmoins, la solution présente l'inconvénient d'être chronophage pour le joueur. En outre, il persiste un risque de délaçage pendant la pratique du sport rendant plus difficile encore la remise en place de la chaussette. Cette solution présente également l'inconvénient d'occulter les éventuels repères ou autres indications visuelles utiles au bon déroulement du match. [0014] Il est également connu du document FR2831066 un dispositif de renfort de maintien de protège-tibias. Ce dispositif permet de maintenir un ajustement vertical et horizontal efficace des protège-tibias sans avoir recours à une bande adhésive. Ce dispositif est constitué d'un bandeau de cheville de forme cylindrique s'enfilant comme une chaussette. Le bandeau est fabriqué dans une matière élastique et notamment avec une face interne qui accroche et ne glisse pas sur le textile employé pour la confection des chaussettes. Cet agencement assure le maintien du textile au niveau souhaité de la cheville durant la course notamment. However, the solution has the disadvantage of being time-consuming for the player. In addition, there is still a risk of delamination during the practice of the sport making it even more difficult to put back the sock. This solution also has the disadvantage of obscuring any benchmarks or other visual indications useful to the smooth running of the match. It is also known from FR2831066 a reinforcement device for maintaining shin guards. This device makes it possible to maintain an effective vertical and horizontal adjustment of the shin guards without using an adhesive tape. This device consists of a cylindrical ankle headband donning like a sock. The headband is made of an elastic material and in particular with an internal face that hangs and does not slip on the textile used for making socks. This arrangement ensures the maintenance of the textile at the desired level of the ankle during the race in particular.
[0015] La solution présente l'inconvénient d'obstruer le visuel du vêtement porté par le joueur par l'apposition d'un équipement opaque sur la chaussette. The solution has the disadvantage of obstructing the visual clothing worn by the player by affixing an opaque equipment on the sock.
[0016] Le document US1635298 décrit un protège chaussette s'étendant depuis le pied jusqu'au mollet, pourvu d'une bande renforçante portée en position haute et assurant le maintien du protège chaussette. Pour assurer sa fonction de protection, il couvre la totalité de la chaussette. The document US1635298 describes a sock protector extending from the foot to the calf, provided with a reinforcing band carried in the upper position and ensuring the maintenance of the sock protector. To ensure its protective function, it covers the entire sock.
[0017] Le document KR200446275 décrit un support pour chaussette sous forme d'une bande opaque comprenant sur la face interne des rainures et projections destinées à produire un effet anti-glissement. Ces éléments rendent le dispositif complexe et coûteux. The document KR200446275 describes a support for sock in the form of an opaque strip comprising on the inner face grooves and projections intended to produce an anti-slip effect. These elements make the device complex and expensive.
[0018] Le document FR1560487 décrit un support à chaussette sous forme d'une bande opaque pourvue d'une couche d'adhérence et de protubérances. Ces éléments rendent le dispositif complexe et coûteux. Document FR1560487 describes a sock carrier in the form of an opaque strip provided with a layer of adhesion and protuberances. These elements make the device complex and expensive.
[0019] Pour pallier ces différents inconvénients, l'invention prévoit différents moyens techniques. EXPOSE DE L'INVENTION To overcome these disadvantages, the invention provides different technical means. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
[0020] Tout d'abord, un premier objet de l'invention consiste à prévoir un support de chaussette permettant une utilisation dans le domaine sportif, et notamment lors des matchs ou compétitions sportives. First, a first object of the invention is to provide a sock support for use in the sports field, and in particular during games or sports competitions.
[0021] Un autre objet de l'invention consiste à maintenir non seulement la chaussette du joueur en position haute afin d'éviter tout glissement lors de la pratique du sport mais éventuellement également un dispositif de protection de type protège-tibias. Another object of the invention is to maintain not only the sock of the player in the up position to prevent slippage during the practice of sports but possibly also a protective device type shin guards.
[0022] Un autre objet de l'invention consiste à assurer le maintien sans risque de gêne par serrage, en situation de port par l'utilisateur. Another object of the invention is to ensure the maintenance without risk of discomfort by clamping, port situation by the user.
[0023]Aussi, un autre objet de l'invention consiste à assurer cette fonction de maintien pour le joueur en présentant l'avantage de ne pas affecter le visuel du vêtement porté. Also, another object of the invention is to provide this maintenance function for the player with the advantage of not affecting the visual of the worn garment.
[0024] Pour ce faire, l'invention prévoit un support de chaussette, susceptible d'être positionné en surépaisseur d'une chaussette portée par un utilisateur, le dit support étant de forme cylindrique, ouvert aux deux extrémités afin d'être mis en place par le pied, constitué d'un matériau élastique et pourvu de parois lisses et transparentes, et étant agencé pour couvrir uniquement la position haute d'une chaussette portée par un utilisateur, au niveau du mollet, sans affecter la visibilité des signes ou symboles apposés dans la zone recouverte. To do this, the invention provides a sock support, capable of being positioned in excess of a sock carried by a user, said support being of cylindrical shape, open at both ends to be put into operation. placed by the foot, made of an elastic material and provided with smooth and transparent walls, and being arranged to cover only the upper position of a sock worn by a user, at the calf, without affecting the visibility of signs or symbols affixed in the covered area.
[0025] Du fait de ses parois lisses et transparentes, le support permet l'obtention d'une excellente visibilité des signes ou symboles apposés sur le vêtement recouvert par le support. Les parois lisses et transparentes évitent de créer des effets de diffraction pouvant affecter la visibilité. [0026] De manière avantageuse, le support est de forme conique. Cette forme présente une grande ergonomie et un excellent confort, en plus d'un maintien optimal. Because of its smooth and transparent walls, the support provides excellent visibility of the signs or symbols affixed to the garment covered by the support. Smooth and transparent walls avoid creating diffraction effects that can affect visibility. Advantageously, the support is of conical shape. This shape presents a great ergonomics and an excellent comfort, in addition to an optimal maintenance.
[0027] Le support selon l'invention présente également l'avantage de s'adapter sur toutes les chaussettes de joueurs. The support of the invention also has the advantage of adapting to all the socks of players.
[0028] De manière avantageuse ledit support de chaussette exerce une pression contre le mollet de l'utilisateur en position de maintien inférieure ou égale à 20 Hg, soit 27,1 HPa. Au delà de cette pression, le support risque de créer un effet de garrot. Advantageously said sock support exerts pressure against the user's calf in the holding position of less than or equal to 20 Hg, or 27.1 HPa. Beyond this pressure, the medium may create a tourniquet effect.
[0029] De manière avantageuse ledit support de chaussette est réalisé en matériau élastomère thermoplastique ou polymère. Advantageously, said sock support is made of thermoplastic or polymeric elastomer material.
[0030] Selon une autre variante de réalisation ledit support de chaussette est constitué d'élastomère thermoplastique. According to another embodiment of said sock support consists of thermoplastic elastomer.
[0031] Le support de chaussette selon l'invention est avantageusement obtenu par thermoformage, extrusion ou injection. The sock support according to the invention is advantageously obtained by thermoforming, extrusion or injection.

DESCRIPTION DETAILLEE DE L'INVENTION DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
[0033] La figure 1 présente le support 1 de chaussette 2 selon l'invention en situation de port par l'utilisateur. Le support 1 présente l'avantage d'être transparent laissant les symboles 9 à la vue de l'arbitre et autres joueurs. Le support s'insère par le pied de l'utilisateur et se hisse jusqu'au mollet 3 de celui-ci. Figure 1 shows the support 1 sock 2 according to the invention in port situation by the user. The support 1 has the advantage of being transparent leaving the symbols 9 in the view of the referee and other players. The support is inserted by the foot of the user and is raised to the calf 3 of it.
[0034] Les figures 2 et 3 montrent schématiquement un exemple de support 1 de chaussette présentant une forme conique. Dans cet exemple de réalisation, la hauteur 6 du cylindre est supérieure ou égale à deux centimètres, les diamètres inférieurs 5 et supérieurs 4 sont au minimum de trois centimètres. Ces dimensions sont données à des fins d'exemple, et dépendent de nombreux facteurs tels que la taille du joueur, le matériau utilisé, etc. Figures 2 and 3 show schematically an example of support 1 sock having a conical shape. In this exemplary embodiment, the height 6 of the cylinder is greater than or equal to two centimeters, the lower and upper diameters 4 and 5 are at least three centimeters. These dimensions are given for purposes of example, and depend on many factors such as the size of the player, the material used, etc.
[0035] Le support 1 de chaussette 2 comporte des parois internes et externes lisses et uniformes procurant une parfaite transparence, afin de ne pas entraver la visibilité de l'apparence du textile, et plus précisément des symboles 9 (tels que des signes, couleurs ou autres) permettant par exemple d'identifier facilement l'appartenance à une équipe. Cette caractéristique est particulièrement importante car il est notamment prohibé d'occulter ce type de symboles lors de certaines compétitions sportives. [0036]Comme le montre les figures 3, 4A et 4B, le diamètre supérieur 4 est avantageusement supérieur au diamètre inférieur 5. En effet, cette forme conique est avantageusement adaptée à la morphologie de la zone des chevilles aux mollets 3. Dans un exemple de réalisation, le support a un diamètre supérieur de 8,4 centimètres et un diamètre inférieur de 7,8 centimètres. The support 1 sock 2 has smooth and uniform internal and external walls providing a perfect transparency, so as not to hinder the visibility of the appearance of the textile, and more precisely symbols 9 (such as signs, colors or others) allowing, for example, easy identification of team membership. This characteristic is particularly important because it is particularly prohibited to hide this type of symbols during certain sports competitions. As shown in Figures 3, 4A and 4B, the upper diameter 4 is preferably greater than the lower diameter 5. Indeed, this conical shape is advantageously adapted to the morphology of the area of the ankles calves 3. In one example embodiment, the support has a diameter greater than 8.4 centimeters and a diameter of less than 7.8 centimeters.
[0037] Le support 1 est avantageusement constitué de polymère et/ou d'élastomère thermoplastique, ce qui lui confère un caractère élastique. L'élasticité du support 1 de chaussette 2 permet non seulement d'exercer une pression sur le mollet 3 de l'utilisateur afin de maintenir la chaussette lorsque l'utilisateur effectue des mouvements, mais également de pouvoir facilement mettre en place et ajuster le support. The support 1 is advantageously made of polymer and / or thermoplastic elastomer, which gives it an elastic character. The elasticity of the support 1 sock 2 not only to exert pressure on the calf 3 of the user to maintain the sock when the user performs movements, but also to easily set up and adjust the support .
[0038] En outre, la matière polymère et/ou élastomère offre la particularité d'être flexible, facilitant sa pose sur le membre inférieur du joueur et gainant la chaussette 2 et un éventuel équipement de protection tel un protège-tibia. En effet, son élasticité permet de l'étirer pour l'insertion sur le membre inférieur du joueur. Le cylindre étiré reprend ensuite sa forme initiale. In addition, the polymeric material and / or elastomer offers the particularity of being flexible, facilitating its installation on the lower limb of the player and sheathing the sock 2 and a possible protective equipment such as a shin guard. Indeed, its elasticity allows to stretch for insertion on the lower limb of the player. The drawn cylinder then resumes its original shape.
[0039] Egalement, ce type de matière polymère et/ou élastomère présente l'avantage d'être très résistant, d'être réutilisable et lavable sans risque de détérioration. Also, this type of polymeric material and / or elastomer has the advantage of being very resistant, reusable and washable without risk of deterioration.
[0040] L'architecture du support 1 de forme cylindrique et plus précisément de forme conique tronquée droite, ouverte en ses deux extrémités 7 et 8 a pour but de permettre une mise en place simple et rapide du support 1 sur la chaussette 2. Cet agencement permet à l'utilisateur d'enfiler le support 1 par le pied et de l'ajuster sur son mollet 3. Le support 1 , lorsqu'il est installé en position haute, exerce une pression suffisamment forte pour maintenir la chaussette 2 sujette aux mouvements de l'utilisateur. La pression n'est pas source de gêne pour l'utilisateur dès lors que l'utilisateur peut placer le support en position sensiblement haute en fonction de la morphologie de son mollet 3. The architecture of the support 1 of cylindrical shape and more precisely truncated conical right, open at both ends 7 and 8 is intended to allow a simple and quick introduction of the support 1 on the sock 2. This arrangement allows the user to thread the support 1 by the foot and to adjust it on his calf 3. The support 1, when installed in the raised position, exerts a pressure strong enough to keep the sock 2 subject to the movements of the user. The pressure is not a source of inconvenience for the user since the user can place the support in a substantially higher position according to the morphology of his calf 3.
[0041]Comme on le voit à la figure 2, 3, 4A et 4B, le support 1 de maintien de chaussette 2 présente une forme cylindrique et conique. Cette forme peut être obtenue par différents procédés de fabrication selon le matériau utilisé. As seen in Figure 2, 3, 4A and 4B, the sock support 1 1 has a cylindrical and conical shape. This form can be obtained by different manufacturing processes depending on the material used.
[0042] Plusieurs modes de fabrication peuvent être utilisés. Selon un premier mode, on utilise le thermoformage. Ce procédé vise à soumettre une feuille de plastique à la chaleur, laquelle une fois ramollie, va épouser la forme du moule choisi afin d'obtenir la forme souhaitée en l'occurrence cylindrique. La pièce moulée de forme conique est ensuite refroidie puis découpée de façon à prévoir des ouvertures au niveau de l'extrémité supérieure 7 et inférieure 8. [0042] Several modes of manufacture can be used. In a first mode, thermoforming is used. This method is to subject a plastic sheet to heat, which once softened, will match the shape of the mold chosen to obtain the desired shape in this case cylindrical. The conical shaped molded part is then cooled and then cut to provide openings at the upper end 7 and lower 8.
[0043] Selon un second mode, on utilise l'extrusion. L'extrusion peut être envisagée en présence de matériaux polymériques visqueux, qu'il est possible d'extruder, pour produire une certaine longueur tubulaire en mode continu. Ces tubes peuvent ensuite être découpés afin d'obtenir plusieurs supports 1 de chaussette 2. Ce mode de fabrication est particulièrement avantageux, puisqu'il permet de produire une grande quantité de supports, de façon simple, rapide et économique. In a second embodiment, the extrusion is used. Extrusion can be envisaged in the presence of viscous polymeric materials, which can be extruded to produce a certain tubular length in continuous mode. These tubes can then be cut to obtain several supports 1 sock 2. This method of manufacture is particularly advantageous, since it allows to produce a large amount of media, simple, fast and economical way.
[0044] Le support 1 de chaussette 2 peut également être obtenu par injection dans le cadre de l'utilisation de matériaux thermoplastiques. Le matériau est injecté dans un moule qui détermine la forme conique du support, et éventuellement les ouvertures au niveau des extrémités du cône. Numéros de référence utilisés sur les figures The support 1 sock 2 can also be obtained by injection in the context of the use of thermoplastic materials. The material is injected into a mold which determines the conical shape of the support, and possibly the openings at the ends of the cone. Reference numbers used in the figures
