Description

On a déjà proposé, dans le brevet CH 466 770, de réaliser une chaussure permettant de rebondir élastiquement. Cette chaussure est constituée de deux semelles rigides solidaires de deux manchons télescopiques et entre lesquels sont disposés trois ressorts. Une telle chaussure, destinée à remplacer un trempolin est relativement lourde et coûteuse. En outre, il n'est pas possible pour l'usager de modifier la force élastique des ressorts.It has already been proposed, in patent CH 466,770, to produce a shoe making it possible to rebound elastically. This shoe consists of two rigid soles integral with two telescopic sleeves and between which are arranged three springs. Such a shoe, intended to replace a trampolin is relatively heavy and expensive. In addition, it is not possible for the user to modify the elastic force of the springs.

La présente invention a pour but de réaliser un article de sport du type susmentionné aussi léger que possible, de fabrication simple et bon marché et dont la force élastique puisse être modifiée par l'utilisateur.The present invention aims to achieve a sports article of the above type as light as possible, simple and inexpensive to manufacture and whose elastic force can be changed by the user.

L'article de sport selon l'invention est caractérisé par le fait qu'il est constitué d'une enveloppe gonflable munie d'une valve, présentant au moins une face approximativement plane destinée à s'appliquer contre la semelle d'une chaussure et des moyens de fixation à la chaussure.The sports article according to the invention is characterized in that it consists of an inflatable envelope provided with a valve, having at least one approximately flat face intended to be applied against the sole of a shoe and ways to attachment to the shoe.

Le dessin annexé représente, à titre d'exemple, une forme d'exécution de l'invention.The accompanying drawing shows, by way of example, an embodiment of the invention.

La figure 1 en représente une vue en élévation, avec une chaussure.Figure 1 shows an elevational view, with a shoe.

La figure 2 en représente une vue en plan, sans chaussure.Figure 2 shows a plan view, without shoe.

L'enveloppe gonflable est en élastomère ou en plastomère, par exemple un élastomère à haute résistance tel qu'utilisé pour la fabrication de bateaux pneumatiques. L'enveloppe gonflée présente ici la forme d'un segment de cylindre, c'est-à-dire deux faces latérales 1 et 2 légèrement bombées, mais assimilées à deux surfaces planes parallèles, une surface supérieure 3 approximativement plane destinée à recevoir la semelle d'une chaussure 4 et une partie 5 de forme cylindrique. Les différentes parties 1, 2, 3 et 5, sont constituées par des feuilles soudées entre elles. Sur la face 3 est fixée une valve retractable 6 permettant à l'utilisateur de gonfler l'enveloppe à la bouche. En position retractée, la valve 6 occupe la position 6' à l'intérieur de l'enveloppe. Sur les deux longs côtés de la face supérieure 3 sont en outre fixés des oeillets 7 à 14 pour le passage d'une cordelette 15 pour la fixation de l'enveloppe à la chaussure. Ces oeillets peuvent être simplement découpés dans des languettes venues d'une pièce avec les parties 1 et 2 de l'enveloppe ou rapportés et soudés simultanément aux éléments de l'enveloppe. Ces oeillets peuvent être également renforcés par un oeillet métallique.The inflatable envelope is made of elastomer or plastomer, for example a high resistance elastomer as used for the manufacture of inflatable boats. The inflated envelope here has the shape of a cylinder segment, that is to say two side faces 1 and 2 slightly curved, but assimilated to two parallel flat surfaces, an upper surface 3 approximately flat intended to receive the sole. a shoe 4 and a part 5 of cylindrical shape. The different parts 1, 2, 3 and 5 are formed by sheets welded together. On the face 3 is fixed a retractable valve 6 allowing the user to inflate the envelope to the mouth. In the retracted position, the valve 6 occupies position 6 ′ inside the envelope. On the two long sides of the upper face 3 are further fixed eyelets 7 to 14 for the passage of a cord 15 for fixing the envelope to the shoe. These eyelets can be simply cut from tabs coming from one piece with parts 1 and 2 of the envelope or attached and welded simultaneously to the elements of the envelope. These eyelets can also be reinforced with a metal eyelet.

A l'état dégonflé, l'article de sport décrit ci-dessus peut être plié et transporté dans une poche de vêtement. Lorsqu'on désire l'utiliser, il suffit de gonfler les enveloppes à la bouche et de les fixer à ses chaussures. Selon son poids et la force élastique désirée, l'utilisateur peut gonfler plus ou moins les enveloppes.In the deflated state, the sports article described above can be folded and transported in a garment pocket. When you want to use it, simply inflate the envelopes by mouth and attach them to your shoes. Depending on its weight and the desired elastic force, the user can inflate the envelopes more or less.

La matière plastique permet d'inombrables variantes d'exécution en ce qui concerne la forme. Il est notamment possible de réaliser des enveloppes en forme de calotte sphérique, de parallélépépipède rectangulaire ou de disque. Quant à la valve 6, elle peut être placée à tout autre endroit de l'enveloppe. Comme moyen de fixation à la chaussure, il est possible d'utiliser tout autre moyen connu, telles que boucle, courroie avec boucle à ardillon ou lanière munie de bande VELCRO (marque déposée).The plastic allows countless variants in terms of shape. It is in particular possible to produce envelopes in the form of a spherical cap, of a rectangular parallelepepiped or of a disc. As for the valve 6, it can be placed at any other place in the envelope. As a means of attachment to the shoe, it is possible to use any other known means, such as a buckle, strap with pin buckle or strap provided with VELCRO band (registered trademark).
