   DESCRIPTION



   La présente invention a pour objet une chaussure de ski constituée d'une partie inférieure comprenant la semelle et entourant le pied et le talon et d'une tige articulée sur la partie inférieure et se fermant par-devant par un rabat au moyen d'un dispositif de fermeture à tendeur comprenant une partie solidaire de la partie latérale de la tige et d'une partie solidaire du rabat.



   Ce type de chaussure est largement répandu sur le marché. Le dispositif de fermeture est constitué, par exemple, d'une boucle reliée à un levier tendeur et venant s'accrocher sur un crochet. La chaussure peut comporter d'autres boucles de fermeture et de serrage ou tout autre dispositif de serrage du pied.



   Ces chaussures sont munies d'une tige relativement haute s'adaptant plus ou moins bien à la morphologie de la cheville et du mollet du skieur. Or cette morphologie peut varier dans une mesure relativement grande. On relève notamment des différences notables dans la longueur et l'épaisseur des muscles du mollet ainsi que dans le diamètre de la cheville, cela indépendamment de la longueur du pied.



  La tige, de dimension standard, s'adapte parfois mal à certaine morphologie. Cette inadaptation peut être douloureuse, notamment lorsque la tige de la chaussure comprime le bas du mollet.



   La présente invention a pour but de permettre une certaine adaptation d'une chaussure standard aux différentes morphologies de la cheville et du mollet.



   A cet effet, la chaussure de ski selon l'invention est caractérisée par le fait que l'une au moins des parties du dispositif de fermeture de la tige est fixée sur la tige par des moyens de fixation ajustables en hauteur.



   Les moyens de fixation ajustables sont de préférence prévus sur le côté ou à l'arrière de la tige, mais ils pourraient également être prévus sur le rabat ou même simultanément sur le rabat et sur le côté de la tige.



   La modification de   l'un    des points de fixation du dispositif de fermeture permet de modifier la direction de la force de traction exercée sur le rabat et par conséquent la hauteur et l'orientation de ce rabat. Il est ainsi possible de décharger le bas du mollet et d'exercer la pression la plus forte a la hauteur du cou-de-pied ou, inversement, d'assurer une fermeture plus serrée dans la partie supérieure de la tige, immédiatement au-dessus du cou-de-pied.



   Le dessin annexé représente, à titre d'exemple, une forme d'exécution de l'invention.



   La figure 1 représente schématiquement la chaussure munie de son dispositif de fermeture de la tige dans une position médiane.



   La figure 2 représente la même chaussure avec le dispositif de fermeture en position haute.



   La figure 3 représente la même chaussure avec le dispositif de fermeture de la tige en position basse.



   La chaussure représentée est constituée d'une coque 1 en matière synthétique relativement rigide comprenant la semelle 2 et entourant le pied et le talon, et d'une tige 3 en une pièce, articulée sur la coque 1 à la hauteur de la malléole autour d'un axe 4. La chaussure est munie d'un chausson intérieur rembourré S dont la tige s'ouvre en deux parties respectivement antérieure et postérieure. La tige 3 de la chaussure s'ouvre en avant et elle est munie d'un rabat 6 venant s'appliquer sur le côté extérieur de la tige pour fermer celle-ci. La fermeture est assurée par un dispositif de fermeture constitué d'une boucle 7 articulée sur un support 8 solidaire de la partie latérale postérieure de la tige et d'un tendeur 9 articulé sur le rabat 6 et muni sur sa face intérieure de plusieurs crochets dans   l'un    desquels vient s'accrocher la boucle 7.

  Le support 8 de la boucle 7 est fixé au moyen d'une vis 10 sur une plaquette métallique   1 1    fixée sensiblement verticalement au moyen de rivets sur le côté de la tige 3, près du dos de celle-ci. Cette plaquette   1 1    présente plusieurs trous taraudés tels que 12 et 13 dans lesquels il est possible de visser la vis 10. Il est ainsi possible de fixer le support 8 à des hauteurs différentes sur la tige 3.



   Tel que représenté à la figure 1, le support 8 est fixé dans une position intermédiaire et le dispositif de fermeture agit dans une direction correspondant approximativement à la direction dans laquelle agissent la plupart des boucles des chaussures connues. Dans cette position, I'avant du rabat 14 est sensiblement parallèle au dos 15 de la tige, la tige fermée constituant une enveloppe sensiblement cylindrique.



   Dans le cas d'un mollet long ou fort, la pression dans la partie supérieure de la tige peut être relativement forte et douloureuse, alors que la pression dans la partie inférieure de la tige peut être insuffisante. Compte tenu de la douleur, I'utilisateur aura tendance à desserrer le dispositif de fermeture, ce qui aura pour effet de relâcher encore la cheville, de telle sorte que cette dernière ne sera plus maintenue de façon suffisante pour une pratique convenable du ski. Dans ce cas, I'utilisateur fixera le support 8 de la boucle dans une position plus haute sur la plaquette 11, comme représenté à la figure 2. Dans cette position, lors de la fermeture, le rabat 6 vient d'abord buter contre la tige par son bord inférieur et la pression vient s'exercer principalement en 16, dans la région du cou-de-pied, tandis que le haut de la tige est libéré.

  Le chausson 5 peut s'ouvrir davantage dans sa partie supérieure, et le bas du mollet ne supporte plus qu'une pression réduite.



   Par contre, si le mollet est court et la cheville mince, un meilleur maintien de la cheville sera obtenu en fixant le support 8 de la boucle en position basse sur sa plaquette 11, comme représenté à la figure 3. Dans cette position, c'est le bord supérieur du rabat 6 qui vient presser d'abord sur la partie supérieure de la tige 3 et le serrage s'exerce essentiellement autour de la partie supérieure de la cheville en 17. La tige de la chaussure prend une forme conique, comme cela ressort de la figure 3.



   Au lieu du moyen de réglage représenté au dessin, il est bien entendu possible d'utiliser tout autre moyen de fixation ajustable.



  Par exemple, en utilisant un support 8 muni d'un trou vertical fileté monté sur une tige filetée supportée par deux paliers et muni d'un poulet moleté, il est possible de réaliser un réglage continu. Il est également possible de réaliser un moyen de fixation ajustable à plusieurs positions discrètes en utilisant une tige présentant une alternance de sections différentes et traversant un passage de section appropriée du support 8, les sections étant telles que le support 8 peut être déplacé d'une section à une autre dans une certaine position angulaire relativement à l'axe de la tige. Tous ces modes de fixation réglable sont bien connus en soi.

 

   De la même manière, il serait possible de monter le support du tendeur 9 de telle sorte que la position de ce support puisse être modifiée en hauteur de manière à modifier le point d'action de la force de traction sur le rabat 6. Les deux supports de la boucle et du levier tendeur pourraient être simultanément ajustables. 



  
 



   DESCRIPTION



   The present invention relates to a ski boot consisting of a lower part comprising the sole and surrounding the foot and the heel and of a rod articulated on the lower part and closing in front by a flap by means of a tensioner closure device comprising a part secured to the lateral part of the rod and a part secured to the flap.



   This type of shoe is widely used on the market. The closure device consists, for example, of a loop connected to a tensioning lever and coming to hang on a hook. The shoe may include other closure and tightening loops or any other device for tightening the foot.



   These shoes are provided with a relatively high upper adapting more or less well to the morphology of the ankle and the calf of the skier. However, this morphology can vary to a relatively large extent. There are notably notable differences in the length and thickness of the calf muscles as well as in the diameter of the ankle, regardless of the length of the foot.



  The stem, of standard size, sometimes does not adapt well to certain morphology. This inadequacy can be painful, especially when the upper of the shoe compresses the bottom of the calf.



   The present invention aims to allow a certain adaptation of a standard shoe to the different morphologies of the ankle and the calf.



   To this end, the ski boot according to the invention is characterized in that at least one of the parts of the rod closure device is fixed to the rod by fixing means which are adjustable in height.



   The adjustable fixing means are preferably provided on the side or at the rear of the rod, but they could also be provided on the flap or even simultaneously on the flap and on the side of the rod.



   The modification of one of the fastening points of the closure device makes it possible to modify the direction of the tensile force exerted on the flap and consequently the height and the orientation of this flap. It is thus possible to unload the bottom of the calf and to exert the strongest pressure at the height of the instep or, conversely, to ensure a tighter closure in the upper part of the rod, immediately above the instep.



   The accompanying drawing shows, by way of example, an embodiment of the invention.



   FIG. 1 schematically represents the shoe provided with its device for closing the upper in a middle position.



   Figure 2 shows the same shoe with the closure device in the high position.



   FIG. 3 represents the same shoe with the device for closing the upper in the low position.



   The shoe shown consists of a shell 1 of relatively rigid synthetic material comprising the sole 2 and surrounding the foot and the heel, and of a rod 3 in one piece, articulated on the shell 1 at the height of the malleolus around 'an axis 4. The shoe is provided with a padded inner boot S whose upper opens in two parts, respectively front and rear. The upper 3 of the shoe opens forward and is provided with a flap 6 which is applied to the outside of the upper to close the latter. The closure is ensured by a closure device consisting of a loop 7 articulated on a support 8 secured to the rear lateral part of the rod and of a tensioner 9 articulated on the flap 6 and provided on its inner face with several hooks in one of which hooks loop 7.

  The support 8 of the loop 7 is fixed by means of a screw 10 on a metal plate 1 1 fixed substantially vertically by means of rivets on the side of the rod 3, near the back of the latter. This plate 11 has several tapped holes such as 12 and 13 in which it is possible to screw the screw 10. It is thus possible to fix the support 8 at different heights on the rod 3.



   As shown in FIG. 1, the support 8 is fixed in an intermediate position and the closure device acts in a direction corresponding approximately to the direction in which most of the buckles of known shoes act. In this position, the front of the flap 14 is substantially parallel to the back 15 of the rod, the closed rod constituting a substantially cylindrical envelope.



   In the case of a long or strong calf, the pressure in the upper part of the rod may be relatively strong and painful, while the pressure in the lower part of the rod may be insufficient. In view of the pain, the user will tend to loosen the closure device, which will have the effect of still loosening the ankle, so that the latter will no longer be sufficiently maintained for proper skiing. In this case, the user will fix the support 8 of the loop in a higher position on the plate 11, as shown in FIG. 2. In this position, when closing, the flap 6 comes first to abut against the stem by its lower edge and the pressure is exerted mainly in 16, in the region of the instep, while the top of the stem is released.

  The liner 5 can open further in its upper part, and the bottom of the calf only supports reduced pressure.



   On the other hand, if the calf is short and the ankle is thin, better ankle support will be obtained by fixing the support 8 of the buckle in the low position on its plate 11, as shown in FIG. 3. In this position, it is the upper edge of the flap 6 which first presses on the upper part of the upper 3 and the tightening is carried out essentially around the upper part of the ankle at 17. The shoe upper takes a conical shape, as this is shown in Figure 3.



   Instead of the adjustment means shown in the drawing, it is of course possible to use any other adjustable fixing means.



  For example, using a support 8 provided with a vertical threaded hole mounted on a threaded rod supported by two bearings and provided with a knurled chicken, it is possible to carry out a continuous adjustment. It is also possible to produce a fixing means adjustable to several discrete positions by using a rod having an alternation of different sections and passing through a passage of appropriate section of the support 8, the sections being such that the support 8 can be moved by one section to another in a certain angular position relative to the axis of the rod. All of these adjustable fastening methods are well known per se.

 

   In the same way, it would be possible to mount the support of the tensioner 9 so that the position of this support can be modified in height so as to modify the point of action of the tensile force on the flap 6. Both buckle and tension lever supports could be simultaneously adjustable.
