Abstract

The shoe with rapid lacing has an instep opening 3 whose two edges equipped with eyelets 8 to 11 or with loops 12 to 14 are connected by a lace 17 extending between them in a zig-zag manner. According to the invention, the lace 17 is fastened at 27 at its lower end relative to the upper 2, extends along a single zig-zag path through the eyelets or loops 12 to 14 and is wedged at any point of its free upper end by an automatic gripping means 25.

Description

Chaussure à laçage rapide.Quick lacing shoe.

La présente invention concerne une chaussure à laçage rapide. The present invention relates to a quick lacing shoe.

Les chaussures connues auxquelles s'applique l'invention présentent une ouverture de cou de pied dont les deux bords munis d'oeillets ou de passants sont reliés par un lacet. Le lacet traverse les deux oeillets inférieurs pour former un pont parallele au sol et se sépare, à partir de ce pont en deux brins qui s'étendent chacun en zigzag d'un bord à l'autre en traversant leurs oeillets, ces brins étant après serrage réunis à leurs extrémités libres supérieures par une rosette2
Le serrage de la chaussure sur le cou de
pied et la formation de la rosette, nécessitent que le
porteur ainsi chaussé ait les deux mains libres et se
baisse ou se courbe en deux, ce qui constitue une fati
gue ou une contrainte difficile à vaincre En particulier
pour les personnes âgées ouhandicapées.
The known shoes to which the invention applies have a instep opening, the two edges of which are provided with eyelets or loops are connected by a lace. The lace crosses the two lower eyelets to form a bridge parallel to the ground and separates, from this bridge into two strands which each extend in a zigzag from one edge to the other by crossing their eyelets, these strands being after clamping joined at their upper free ends by a rosette2
The tightening of the shoe on the neck of
foot and rosette formation, require that the
wearer thus fitted has both hands free and
drop or curve in half, which is a fati
hard or hard to overcome In particular
for the elderly or disabled.

Pour lever cette difficulté, il existe des
chaussures à fermeture à glissiere ou à bande dite
"velcro" qui peuvent être mises avec une-seule main,
mais le serrage du cou de pied adapté à la morphologie
de chacun est difficile..
To overcome this difficulty, there are
shoe with zipper or band
"velcro" which can be put on with one hand,
but the tightening of the instep adapted to the morphology
of each is difficult ..

La présente invention apour but de remédier
à ces inconvénients en utilisant un lacet qui juste
ment permet le serrage du cou de pied de proche en pro
che et en mettant en oeuvre des moyens tels qu'une seu
le main suffit , et sans avoir à se baisser , pour ef
fectuer ce serrage et le bloquer.
The present invention for the purpose of remedying
to these drawbacks by using a lace which just
allows tightening of the instep from close to pro
che and by implementing means such as a seu
the hand is enough, and without having to bend down, to ef
tighten and lock it.

Dans ce but et conformément à l'invention,
le lacet est fixé à son extrémité inférieure par rapport
à la tige, s 'étend suivant un cheminement en zigzag uni
que à travers les oeillets ou passants et est coince en
un point quelconque de son extrémité superieure libre
par un moyen de prise automatique.
For this purpose and in accordance with the invention,
the lace is fixed at its lower end relative to
at the stem, extends along a zigzag path
that through the eyelets or passers-by and is stuck in
any point on its free upper end
by means of automatic setting.

Suivant une forme de réalisation particulièrement avantageuse, le dispositif de prise automatique est un taquet coinceur fixe entre la tige et le garant, ce taquet comportant un manchon tubulaire à travers ie- quel est normalement engagé le lacet et ce manchon présentant une fente longitudinale de coincement en forme de V débouchant par sa base large sur l'extrémité dudit manchon opposée à celle située du côté de l'ouverture et par laquelle pénètre le lacet qui, en vue de son blocage, est inséré à force dans cette fente par traction dans une direction sensiblement opposée à celle dans laquelle s'exerce la traction pour serrer le lacet. According to a particularly advantageous embodiment, the automatic gripping device is a fixed cleat cleat between the rod and the guarantor, this cleat comprising a tubular sleeve through ie- which is normally engaged the lace and this sleeve having a longitudinal wedge slot V-shaped opening with its wide base on the end of said sleeve opposite to that located on the side of the opening and through which enters the lace which, for its locking, is force-fitted into this slot by traction in a direction substantially opposite to that in which traction is exerted to tighten the lace.

Par ailleurs, la chaussure peut comporter un crochet situé en haut du côté.de l'ouverture, opposé à celui où se trouve le moyen de prise automatique du lacet ce crochet permettant de retenir l'extrémité libre dudit lacet sortant du dispositif de prise. Furthermore, the shoe may include a hook located at the top of the side of the opening, opposite to that where the means for automatically taking the lace is located, this hook making it possible to retain the free end of said lace leaving the grip device.

Elle peut également comporter un moyen de fixation de l'extrémité inférieure du lacet, relativement à la tige, ce moyen étant constitué par une pièce delimi tant un logement pour un noeud extrême du lacet et un passage longitudinal pour ce lacet, lequel forme entre, logement et passage, une boucle traversant l'oeillet inférieur situé du côté de l'ouverture opposé à celui où se trouve le moyen de prise automatique dudit lacet. It may also include a means for fixing the lower end of the lace, relative to the upper, this means being constituted by a delimited piece both a housing for an end knot of the lace and a longitudinal passage for this lace, which forms between, housing and passage, a loop passing through the lower eyelet located on the side of the opening opposite to that where the means for automatically gripping said lace is located.

Ainsi, le lacet étant posé en zigzag et son extrémité supérieure libre traversant le taquet coince, il suffit de tirer sur le lacet pour serrer le cou du pied portant la chaussure, d'engager en tirant latéralement cette extrémité du lacet dans la fente de coincement de ce taquet pour la bloquer et de passer l'extre- mité pendante dudit lacet dans le crochet opposé pour maintenir en place cette extrémité. Thus, the lace being placed in a zigzag and its free upper end passing through the cleat wedges, it suffices to pull on the lace to tighten the neck of the foot carrying the shoe, to engage by pulling laterally this end of the lace in the wedge slot of this cleat to block it and pass the hanging end of said lace through the opposite hook to hold this end in place.

Divers autres caractéristiques et avantages de l'invention ressortent d'ailleurs de la description détaillée qui suir.  Various other characteristics and advantages of the invention will also emerge from the detailed description which follows.

Une forme de réalisation de l'objet de l'invention est représentée, à titre d'exemple non limitatif sur le dessin annexe. An embodiment of the object of the invention is shown, by way of nonlimiting example in the accompanying drawing.

Sur ce dessin
- la figure I est une perspective vue de dessus montrant une chaussure de sport équipée du dispositif de laçage conforme à l'invention,
- les figures 2 à 4 sont des perspectives ou coupe illustrant le taquet coinceur, le moyen de fixation et le crochet de retenue respectivement de ce dispositif de laçage.
On this drawing
FIG. I is a perspective view from above showing a sports shoe equipped with the lacing device according to the invention,
- Figures 2 to 4 are perspectives or section illustrating the cleat cleat, the fixing means and the retaining hook respectively of this lacing device.

La chaussure représentée sur la figure I comporte une semelle 1 sur laquelle est montée une tige 2 qui présente une ouverture 3 s'étendant en regard du cou de pied depuis le bout 4 jusqu'à la bordure 5 sur laquelle elle débouche. A travers l'ouverture 3 apparaît une languette 6 et un garant 7 double le bord de cette ouverture pour le renforcer. The shoe shown in Figure I has a sole 1 on which is mounted a rod 2 which has an opening 3 extending opposite the instep from the end 4 to the edge 5 on which it opens. Through the opening 3 a tongue 6 appears and a guarantor 7 doubles the edge of this opening to reinforce it.

Dans la partie basse rétrécie 3a de l'ouverture 3, quatre oeillets 8 à I i sont poses à travers le garant 7 et la tige 2,en étant disposés deux à deux en regard (8 et 9, 10 et 11) et deux à deux le long des bords de cette partie rétrécie 3a de l'ouverture (8 et 10, 9 et 11)-
Dans la partie restante haute élargie 3b de l'ouverture sont montés des passants 12 à 14 au nombre de trois dans l'exemple choisi. Ces passants sont en matiere plastique moulée et comportent un arceau 15 en forme de U à branches divergentes et de section arrondie, cet arceau étant solidaire d'une patte de fixation 16. Chaque patte 16 est insérée entre le garant 7 et la tige 2, puis est fixée par la couture reliant ceux-ci et éventuellement par collage.Ces passants sont disposés en quinconce le long des bords de cette partie élargie 3b pour faire saillie dans l'ouverture 3 sans toutefois pouvoir s' ali- gner entre eux même lorsque la tige est serrée sur le plus petit cou de pied.
In the narrowed lower part 3a of the opening 3, four eyelets 8 to I i are placed through the guarantor 7 and the rod 2, being arranged two by two opposite (8 and 9, 10 and 11) and two to two along the edges of this narrowed part 3a of the opening (8 and 10, 9 and 11) -
In the remaining enlarged upper part 3b of the opening, passers-by 12 to 14 are mounted, three in number in the example chosen. These passers-by are made of molded plastic and include a U-shaped hoop 15 with divergent branches and of rounded section, this hoop being secured to a fixing lug 16. Each lug 16 is inserted between the guarantor 7 and the rod 2, then is fixed by the seam connecting these and optionally by gluing. These loops are staggered along the edges of this enlarged part 3b to protrude into the opening 3 without however being able to align with each other even when the upper is tightened on the smallest instep.

les oeillets 8 à 11 et les passants 12 à 14 coopèrent avec un lacet 17 qui les traverse en formant avec un seul brin
- deux branches transversales inférieures apparentes 18,19 entre les oeillets 8 et 9, respectivement 10 et 11,- ces branches droites étant reliées par une branche inclinée sous-jacente 20 entre les oeillets 9 et 10,
- quatre branches en biais 21 à 24 entre l'oeillet 11, les passants 12 à 14 et un taquet coinceur 25 (figures I et 2) respectivement.
the eyelets 8 to 11 and the loops 12 to 14 cooperate with a lace 17 which passes through them forming with a single strand
two visible lower transverse branches 18, 19 between the eyelets 8 and 9, respectively 10 and 11, these straight branches being connected by an underlying inclined branch 20 between the eyelets 9 and 10,
- Four slanting branches 21 to 24 between the eyelet 11, the loops 12 to 14 and a cleat 25 (Figures I and 2) respectively.

L'extrémité inférieure 26 du lacet 17 est fixée relativement à la tige, d'une façon démontable pour permettre le remplacement de ce lacet lorsqu'il est usé ou cassé. Dans l'exemple représenté sur les figures 1 et 3, la fixation est réalisée au moyen d'une pièce 27, en matière plastique moulée, qui, elle aussi, est solidaire d'une patte 16 inséréeentre le garant 7 et la tige 2, puis fixée par la couture reliant ceux-ci et éventuellement par collage. The lower end 26 of the lace 17 is fixed relative to the upper, in a removable manner to allow the replacement of this lace when it is worn or broken. In the example shown in FIGS. 1 and 3, the fixing is carried out by means of a part 27, of molded plastic, which, too, is integral with a tab 16 inserted between the guarantor 7 and the rod 2, then fixed by the seam connecting them and possibly by gluing.

Cette pièce 27 délimite, d'une part un logement épaulé . 28 destiné à recevoir un noeud terminal 29 du lacet et, d'autre -part, un passage longitudinal 30 pour la branche 18 de ce lacet. Ledit lacet'étant engagé dans le logement 29 et arrêté par un noeud 29, il est introduit dans l'oeillet 8 en formant une boucle 31, puis il est inséré dans le passage 30 et introduit dans l'oeillet 9 pour former ensuite la branche inclinée 20. This part 27 delimits, on the one hand a shouldered housing. 28 intended to receive a terminal node 29 of the lace and, on the other hand, a longitudinal passage 30 for the branch 18 of this lace. Said lace being engaged in the housing 29 and stopped by a knot 29, it is introduced into the eyelet 8 by forming a loop 31, then it is inserted into the passage 30 and introduced into the eyelet 9 to then form the branch tilted 20.

Au cours de cette opération de montage du lacet 17 par laquelle l'extrémité inférieure 26 de celui-ci se trouve fixée relativement à la tige, la pièce 27 s'étend contre la languette 6 dans la partie rétrécie 3a de l'ouverture et ne présente aucune aspérité risquant de marquer ou de blesser le pied à travers ladite languette. During this mounting operation of the lace 17 by which the lower end 26 of the latter is fixed relative to the rod, the part 27 extends against the tongue 6 in the narrowed part 3a of the opening and does not has no roughness that could mark or injure the foot through said tongue.

Le taquet coinceur 25 précité comporLe, dans l'exemple représenté sur les figures 1 et 2, un manchon tubulaire 33, en matière plastique moulée, solidaire, comme les autres eléments rapportés 12 à 14 et 27, d'une patte 16 insérée entre le garant 7 et la tige 2, puis fixée par la couture reliant ceux-ci et éventue- lement par collage. Le manchon 33 présente une fente longitudinale de coincement 34 en forme de V s'évasant vers l'extrémité 35 dudit manchon sur laquelle elle débouche, cette extrémité 35 étant opposée à celle 36 qui est située près de l'ouverture 3 et par laquelle le lacet 17 pénètre. The above-mentioned jamming cleat 25 comprises, in the example shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, a tubular sleeve 33, of molded plastic material, secured, like the other added elements 12 to 14 and 27, with a tab 16 inserted between the guarantor 7 and rod 2, then fixed by the seam connecting them and optionally by gluing. The sleeve 33 has a longitudinal V-shaped wedge slit widening towards the end 35 of said sleeve on which it opens, this end 35 being opposite that 36 which is located near the opening 3 and through which the lace 17 enters.

Les branches en biais 21 à 24 du lacet décrites dans ce qui précède constituent un brin unique en zigzag tel que si l'on tire sur son extrémité supérieure libre 32, on tend à redresser le zigzag et ainsi à rapprocher les bords de la partie élargie 3b de l'ouver- ture 3, ce qui a pour effet de serrer la tige sur le cou de pied. Cette extrémité supérieure libre 32 traverse le manchon 33 du taquet coinceur 25, de sorte que le serrage étant effectué, il suffit alors de rabattre l'extrémité 32 dans la direction opposée pour qu'elle se loge dans la fente 34 et de tirer pour qu'elle se coince. The angled branches 21 to 24 of the lace described in the above constitute a single zigzag strand such that if one pulls on its free upper end 32, one tends to straighten the zigzag and thus to bring the edges of the widened part closer together. 3b of the opening 3, which has the effect of tightening the rod on the instep. This free upper end 32 passes through the sleeve 33 of the jamming cleat 25, so that the tightening being carried out, it suffices then to fold the end 32 in the opposite direction so that it fits in the slot 34 and to pull so 'it gets stuck.

Pour exécuter cette opération de serrage et de coincement, une seule main suffit. Mais l'extrémité libre 32 du lacet pend et peut occasionner une chute si l'on marche dessus avec l'autre pied ou le desserrage de la chaussure si elle est retenue par une ronce par exemple. De toute façon, cette présentation du lacet est inesthétique. Pour remédier à cela, un crochet 37 peut être monté en haut de l'ouverture 3 du côté opposé à celui où se trouve le taquet coinceur 25. Dans l'exemple illustré par les figures 1 et 4, le crochet 37 est en matière plastique moulée et solidaire d'une patte 16 insérée entre le garant 7 et la tige 2, puis fixée par a couture re liant ceux-ci et éventuellement par collage. Dans ce cas, lorsque le lacet 17 est coincé, son extrémité supérieure libre 32 est glissée sous le crochet 37 avec la main ayant déjà opéré le serrage. To perform this tightening and clamping operation, one hand is sufficient. But the free end 32 of the lace hangs and can cause a fall if you walk on it with the other foot or the loosening of the shoe if it is retained by a bramble for example. Anyway, this presentation of the lace is unsightly. To remedy this, a hook 37 can be mounted at the top of the opening 3 on the side opposite to that where the cleat stopper 25 is located. In the example illustrated by FIGS. 1 and 4, the hook 37 is made of plastic. molded and secured to a lug 16 inserted between the guarantor 7 and the rod 2, then fixed by a seam re-linking them and possibly by gluing. In this case, when the lace 17 is jammed, its free upper end 32 is slid under the hook 37 with the hand having already operated the tightening.

Les pattes 16 peuvent être réunies entre elles afin de former un voile porteur des pièces constitutives 12 à 14, 25, 27 et 37 du dispositif de laçage. The tabs 16 can be joined together to form a veil carrying the constituent parts 12 to 14, 25, 27 and 37 of the lacing device.

Par ailleurs ces pièces peuvent être en une autre matière, métalliques par exemple, et fabriquées puis montées par d'autres techniques, emboutissage et agrafage par exemple.  Furthermore, these parts can be made of another material, metallic for example, and manufactured and then mounted by other techniques, stamping and stapling for example.
