At least one two-segment tightening strip is provided extending from the reinforced zone. One segment of the tightening strip rises diagonally from the reinforced zone along the outer surface of the shoe leg to near the upper end of the latter at the back of the shoe, and continues substantially horizontally along the upper end of the inner surface of the shoe leg above the inner malleolus. A second segment rises diagonally from the reinforced zone, and extends across the frontal lacing area of the shoe toward the inner surface of the shoe leg. A provision is made for joining the two segments of the strip over the front and inner surface of the shoe leg so as to adjustably fasten the strip in position with a desired degree of tightness.

Description

La présente invention est relative à une chaussure de sports ou de loisirs à tige haute, du type de celle communément appelée chaussure de basket-ball et utilisée notamment pour la pratique de ce sport.The present invention relates to a sports or leisure shoe with a high upper, of the type commonly known as a basketball shoe and used in particular for the practice of this sport.

Les conditions de la pratique du basket-ball soumettent les chevilles du joueur à des efforts violents, dûs notamment aux nombreux mouvements en extension, suivis de contacts brutaux avec le sol, et aux nombreux démarrages pour le dribble ou la course suivis de phases d'arrêt brutales.The conditions of basketball practice subject the ankles of the player to violent efforts, due in particular to the numerous movements in extension, followed by brutal contact with the ground, and to the numerous starts for dribbling or racing followed by phases of brutal stop.

Il est donc important de pouvoir disposer de chaussures qui permettent d'assurer une tenue suffisante du pied dans la zone de la cheville, tant au niveau de la malléole interne que de la malléole externe tout en assurant une protection, par un rembourrage approprié, contre les chocs directs.It is therefore important to be able to have shoes which provide sufficient support for the foot in the ankle area, both at the level of the internal malleolus and the external malleolus while providing protection, by appropriate padding, against direct shocks.

On a ainsi proposé des chaussures comportant des bandes de renfort et/ou de serrage s'étendant sensiblement horizontalement autour de la tige. Par exemple, le brevet US-A-4411 077 décrit une chaussure de sports comportant deux larges bandes qui s'étendent à l'extérieur de la chaussure et peuvent être fixées l'une sur l'autre en enserrant la cheville.Shoes have thus been proposed comprising reinforcement and / or tightening bands extending substantially horizontally around the upper. For example, US-A-4411 077 describes a sports shoe having two wide bands which extend outside the shoe and can be fixed one on the other by enclosing the ankle.

Néanmoins, les chaussures ainsi réalisées n'assurent pas un maintien suffisant du pied et, dans la pratique, les joueurs continuent à utiliser des chevillères ou des bandes de maintien à l'intérieur de la chaussure.However, the shoes thus produced do not provide sufficient support for the foot and, in practice, players continue to use ankles or support bands inside the shoe.

La présente invention se propose de fournir une chaussure permettant d'éviter l'utilisation d'accessoires tels que des chevillères et offrant de très bonnes propriétés de tenue et de serrage du pied dans la partie haute de la tige de la chaussure.The present invention proposes to provide a shoe making it possible to avoid the use of accessories such as ankles and offering very good holding and tightening properties of the foot in the upper part of the upper of the shoe.

La chaussure selon l'invention est du type dans lequel la partie haute de la tige est réalisée en matériau rembourré et des bandes de serrage sont fixées à l'extérieur de la chaussure en enserrant la cheville, d'après US-A-4411 077, ladite chaussure se caractérisant par le fait qu'elle comporte une zone en matériau de renfort sur la face extérieure de la chaussure sensiblement au niveau de la malléole externe, au moins une bande de serrage s'étendant depuis ladite zone de renfort, la bande de serrage comprenant une première branche remontant depuis ladite zone de renfort en biais le long de la face extérieure de la tige jusqu'au voisinage de l'extrémité supérieure de celle-ci à l'arrière de la chaussure, et se prolongeant sensiblement horizontalement le long de l'extrémité supérieure de la face intérieure de la tige au-dessus de la malléole interne, et une seconde branche remontant depuis ladite zone de renfort en biais au travers de la zone de fermeture frontale de la chaussure vers la face intérieure de la tige, et des moyens de liaison des deux branches de la bande sur la face intérieure de la tige pour immobiliser la bande dans une position de serrage définie.The shoe according to the invention is of the type in which the upper part of the upper is made of padded material and tightening bands are fixed to the outside of the shoe by enclosing the ankle, according to US-A-4411 077 , said shoe being characterized by the fact that it comprises a zone of reinforcement material on the external face of the shoe substantially at the level of the external malleolus, at least one tightening band extending from said reinforcement zone, the band tightening comprising a first branch rising from said biasing reinforcement zone along the outer face of the upper to the vicinity of the upper end thereof at the rear of the shoe, and extending substantially horizontally the along the upper end of the inner face of the upper above the internal malleolus, and a second branch rising from said reinforcement zone at an angle through the front closure zone of the shoe towards the has inner face of the rod, and means for connecting the two branches of the band on the inner face of the rod to immobilize the band in a defined clamping position.

De préférence les moyens de liaison comprennent une boucle fixée à l'extrémité libre de la première branche sur la face intérieure de la tige de la chaussure, la seconde branche de la bande de serrage comportant sur sa face extérieure deux zones de matières complémentaires susceptibles d'adhérer l'une à l'autre sous l'effet d'une pression et pouvant se séparer sous l'effet d'une traction, ladite ladite seconde branche s'engageant dans ladite boucle puis étant repliée de manière à amener en contact mutuel pour la fermeture les deux zones en matières complémentaires.Preferably the connecting means comprise a loop fixed to the free end of the first branch on the inner face of the upper of the shoe, the second branch of the tightening band comprising on its outer face two zones of complementary materials capable of '' adhere to each other under the effect of a pressure and being able to separate under the effect of a traction, said second branch engaging in said loop then being folded so as to bring into mutual contact for closing the two zones in complementary materials.

En d'autres termes dans le mode de réalisation, la seconde branche de la bande de serrage est munie de moyens de fermeture rapide du type connu sous la dénomination de "Velcro" (une marque déposée).In other words, in the embodiment, the second branch of the tightening band is provided with rapid closing means of the type known under the name of "Velcro" (a registered trademark).

Dans un mode de réalisation préféré de l'invention, la chaussure comporte à la partie arrière de la tige des moyens de positionnement et de guidage de la première branche de la bande de serrage, lesdits moyens étant avantageusement réalisés sous la forme d'un passant disposé verticalement et dans lequel s'engage ladite première branche de la bande à l'arrière de la chaussure. Le passant peut être rapporté sur la face extérieure de la chaussure ou, dans une variante préférée, être obtenu par découpe du matériau constitutif de la face arrière de la tige.In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the shoe comprises, at the rear part of the upper, means for positioning and guiding the first branch of the tightening band, said means being advantageously produced in the form of a loop arranged vertically and in which engages said first branch of the band at the rear of the shoe. The passer-by can be attached to the outer face of the shoe or, in a preferred variant, can be obtained by cutting the material of the rear face of the upper.

On comprend que la bande de serrage selon l'invention, en position ouverte de la chaussure, n'est fixée à celle-ci que dans la zone de renfort au niveau de la malléole externe, et de ce fait, lorsqu'on exerce sur l'extrémité libre de la seconde branche une traction puis on immobilise cette extrémité libre après liaison des deux branches, la bande fait un tour complet de la chaussure, et assure un serrage important du pied au niveau de la cheville, le matériau constitutif de la bande assurant en outre un effet de renfort. Les orientations de la bande, en biais sur la face extérieure de la tige et en biais au travers de la zone frontale de fermeture de la chaussure, se révélent à l'expérience particulièrement favorables à la résistance aux effort violents liés à la pratique du basket-ball.It is understood that the tightening band according to the invention, in the open position of the shoe, is fixed to the latter only in the reinforcement zone at the level of the external malleolus, and therefore, when exercising on the free end of the second branch a traction then this free end is immobilized after connection of the two branches, the band makes a complete turn of the shoe, and ensures a significant tightening of the foot at the ankle, the material constituting the strip also providing a reinforcing effect. The orientations of the band, at an angle on the outside face of the upper and at an angle through the front closing area of the shoe, appear in experience to be particularly favorable to resistance to violent stresses linked to the practice of basketball -ball.

Le matériau de renfort constituant la zone sur la face extérieure de la tige à partir de laquelle s'étend la bande de serrage, ainsi que le matériau constitutif de la bande de serrage, peuvent être de tout type approprié, notamment du cuir naturel ou synthétique.The reinforcing material constituting the area on the outer face of the rod from which the tightening band extends, as well as the material constituting the tightening band, can be of any suitable type, in particular natural or synthetic leather .

Dans le but de mieux faire comprendre l'invention on va maintenant en décrire à titre d'exemple en aucune manière limitif un mode de réalisation en se référant au dessin annexé dans lequel:

  • - la figure 1 est une vue en élévation d'une chaussure selon l'invention montrant le côté extérieur de celle-ci,
  • - la figure 2 est une vue en élévation de la chaussure selon l'invention montrant le côté intérieur de celle-ci, - la figure 3 est une vue fragmentaire de la chaussure montrant la face intérieure de la tige avant serrage,
  • - la figure 4 est une vue fragmentaire arrière de la chaussure,
  • - la figure 5 est une vue fragmentaire de- dessus de la chaussure avant serrage,
  • - la figure 6 est une vue fragmentaire frontale de la chaussure avant serrage, et
  • - la figure 7 est une vue correspondant à la figure 6 après serrage.
In order to better understand the invention, an embodiment will now be described by way of example in no way limiting, with reference to the appended drawing in which:
  • FIG. 1 is an elevation view of a shoe according to the invention showing the outer side thereof,
  • FIG. 2 is an elevation view of the shoe according to the invention showing the interior side thereof, FIG. 3 is a fragmentary view of the boot showing the inside of the upper before tightening,
  • FIG. 4 is a fragmentary rear view of the shoe,
  • FIG. 5 is a fragmentary view from above of the shoe before tightening,
  • FIG. 6 is a fragmentary front view of the shoe before tightening, and
  • - Figure 7 is a view corresponding to Figure 6 after tightening.

La chaussure selon l'invention, du type utilisé pour la pratique de basket-ball, comprend de manière conventionnelle une semelle 1, une empeigne désignée globalement par 2 et une tige haute désignée globalement par 3 et réalisée en matériau rembourrée.The shoe according to the invention, of the type used for the practice of basketball, conventionally comprises a sole 1, an upper designated overall by 2 and a high upper generally designated by 3 and made of padded material.

Dans la partie frontale de l'empeigne et de la tige est réalisée de manière conventionnelle, une zone de fermeture 4, la fermeture de la chaussure dans ce mode de réalisation étant assurée par des lacets, non représentés, s'engageant dans des oeillets 5 disposés de part et d'autre de l'ouverture frontale de la chaussure dans laquelle est montée de façon habituelle une languette 6.In the front part of the upper and of the upper is produced in a conventional manner, a closure zone 4, the closure of the shoe in this embodiment being provided by laces, not shown, engaging in eyelets 5 arranged on either side of the front opening of the shoe in which a tongue 6 is mounted in the usual way.

La chaussure selon l'invention comporte sur sa face extérieure, sensiblement au niveau de la malléole externe, une zone en matériau de renfort 7, notamment en cuir qui, dans le mode de réalisation illustré, présente des prolongements 7a, 7b, 7c, 7d sensiblement allignés deux-à-deux à partir de la partie centrale de la zone de renfort.The shoe according to the invention comprises on its outer face, substantially at the level of the external malleolus, an area made of reinforcing material 7, in particular leather which, in the illustrated embodiment, has extensions 7a, 7b, 7c, 7d substantially aligned two-by-two from the central part of the reinforcement zone.

Selon l'invention il est prévu une bande de serrage formée de deux branches 8 et 9, également réalisées en cuir.According to the invention there is provided a tightening band formed by two branches 8 and 9, also made of leather.

La branche 8 est fixée par une extrémité 8a au prolongement 7c de la zone de renfort 7, ou est réalisée d'un seul tenant avec lui. La branche 8 n'est ainsi fixée à la tige de la chaussure que par son extrémité 8a.The branch 8 is fixed by one end 8a to the extension 7c of the reinforcement zone 7, or is made in one piece with it. The branch 8 is thus fixed to the upper of the shoe only by its end 8a.

Comme on le voit sur le dessin et notamment aux figures 2 et 3, l'extrémité opposée 8b de la branche 8 comporte une boucle 10. La branche 8 s'étend depuis la zone de renfort 7 en remontant en biais le long de la face extérieure de la tige, s'engage dans un passant 11 à la partie arrière de la tige, passant rapporté sur la tige ou formé en réalisant des découpes 12 dans le matériau constitutif de la paroi arrière de la tige, puis s'étend sur la face intérieure de la tige sensiblement parallèlement au bord supérieur de celle-ci, de manière que la boucle se trouve dans la partie avant de la face intérieure de la tige comme on le voit notamment sur les figures 2 et 3.As can be seen in the drawing, and in particular in FIGS. 2 and 3, the opposite end 8b of the branch 8 has a loop 10. The branch 8 extends from the reinforcement zone 7, rising at an angle along the face outside of the rod, engages in a passage 11 at the rear part of the rod, passing attached to the rod or formed by making cutouts 12 in the material constituting the rear wall of the rod, then extends over the inner face of the rod substantially parallel to the upper edge thereof, so that the loop is in the front part of the inner face of the rod as seen in particular in FIGS. 2 and 3.

La branche 9 de la boucle qui, comme on le voit notamment sur la figure 1, s'étend à partir du prolongement 7b de la zone de renfort, remonte, comme on la voit le mieux sur la figure 6, en biais au travers de la zone de fermeture 4 de le chaussure, s'engage dans la boucle 10 puis est rabattue sur elle-même comme on le voit le mieux sur la figure 7.The branch 9 of the loop which, as seen in particular in FIG. 1, extends from the extension 7b of the reinforcement zone, rises, as best seen in FIG. 6, at an angle through the closure zone 4 of the shoe, engages in the loop 10 and is then folded back on itself as best seen in FIG. 7.

Dans une variante non représentée, la branche 9 peut se prolonger sous la zone de renfort 7 jusque sous le prolongement 7a de celle-ci par une longueur de bande élastique.In a variant not shown, the branch 9 can extend under the reinforcement zone 7 as far as the extension 7a thereof by a length of elastic band.

Pour assurer un blocage de la bande la branche 9 comporte sur sa face externe deux zones successives 13 et 14 en matières complémentaires susceptibles d'adhérer sous l'effet d'une pression.To ensure blocking of the strip, the branch 9 has on its external face two successive zones 13 and 14 made of complementary materials capable of adhering under the effect of pressure.

Ainsi, la zone 13 peut être constituée d'éléments analogues à des crochets et la zone 14 peut être réalisée en une matière analogue à du feutre.Thus, the zone 13 can be made of elements similar to hooks and the zone 14 can be made of a material similar to felt.

On comprend que, pour la mise en oeuvre de l'invention, après avoir fermé, notamment par laçage, la chaussure, il suffit d'exercer une traction sur l'extrémité libre de la branche 9 puis, après avoir atteint le degré de serrage voulu, rabattre cette extrémité libre sur la partie de la branche disposée en travers de la zone de fermeture de la chaussure pour immobiliser la bande dans la position de serrage voulue.It is understood that, for the implementation of the invention, after having closed, in particular by lacing, the shoe, it suffices to exert a traction on the free end of the branch 9 then, after having reached the degree of tightening desired, fold this free end over the part of the branch arranged across the closing area of the shoe to immobilize the band in the desired tightening position.

En cours d'utilisation cette opération peut être répétée pour modifier le degré de serrage.During use this operation can be repeated to modify the degree of tightening.
