Abstract

1. Plantar support for ski boots comprising a rigid shaped member (4) having its top surface lined with a flexible material (5), characterized by the fact that said lining (5) comprises at least one integral lateral lug (6, 7, 8, 9) disposed externally of said top surface wherein said lug may be either disposed between the foot and the boot so as to reduce the inner width of the boot or removed by cutting or folding back under the plantar support so as to increase the width of the boot.

Description

La présente invention a pour objet un support plantaire pour chaussure de ski constitué d'une pièce profilée rigide dont la face supérieure est revêtue d'une garniture en matière souple.The present invention relates to a plantar support for ski boots consisting of a rigid profiled part, the upper face of which is coated with a lining made of flexible material.

La plupart des chaussures de ski actuelles sont constituées d'une coque en matière plastique relativement rigide dont le fond est plat et d'épaisseur approximativement constante pour des raisons de moulage. Pour la pratique du ski il est toutefois nécessaire d'avoir une certaine inclinaison de la partie supportant le pied. A cet effet on dispose à l'intérieur de la coque un support plantaire constitué d'une pièce profilée rigide en matériau léger, par exemple en matériau synthétique cellulaire, revêtu d'une garniture en feutre pour le confort du pied.Most current ski boots consist of a relatively rigid plastic shell, the bottom is flat and of approximately constant thickness for molding reasons. For skiing it is however necessary to have a certain inclination of the part supporting the foot. For this purpose, there is a plantar support inside the shell consisting of a rigid profiled piece of light material, for example of cellular synthetic material, covered with a felt lining for the comfort of the foot.

Ces chaussures sont munies d'un chausson intérieur amovible et il est connu d'adapter la largeur de la chaussure au pied du skieur en introduisant ou en enlevant des pièces tissus ou de feutre dans des poches prévues dans le chausson (FR 2 342 039 et CH 645 255). On connaît par ailleurs une chaussure à coque à volume invariable dans laquelle la tenue du pied est assurée par des sangles venues d'une pièce avec un support plantaire ou rapportées sur celui-ci (FR-A 2 354 065). Cette chaussure ne comprend pas de moyen d'adaptation de sa largeur intérieure.These shoes are provided with a removable inner bootie and it is known to adapt the width of the boot to the skier's foot by introducing or removing pieces of fabric or felt in pockets provided in the bootie (FR 2 342 039 and CH 645 255). There is also known a shoe with an invariable volume shell in which the holding of the foot is ensured by straps coming from a part with a plantar support or attached thereon (FR-A 2 354 065). This shoe does not include a means of adapting its internal width.

La présente invention a également pour but de permettre une adaption de la largeur intérieure de la chaussure au pied du skieur en utilisant à cet effet le support plantaire.The present invention also aims to allow an adaptation of the internal width of the boot at the foot of the skier using for this purpose the plantar support.

Selon l'invention, la garniture du support plantaire est munie d'au moins une patte latérale, de préférence deux ou quatre, située en dehors de la face supérieure de la pièce rigide.According to the invention, the lining of the plantar support is provided with at least one lateral tab, preferably two or four, located outside the upper face of the rigid part.

La supression de la patte latérale, respectivement des pattes latérales, soit en la coupant au moyen d'un ciseau, soit en la repliant sous le support plantaire, permet d'élargir la chaussure, soit dans la région du pied, soit dans la région du talon.The removal of the lateral leg, respectively of the lateral legs, either by cutting it with a scissor, or by folding it under the plantar support, makes it possible to widen the shoe, either in the region of the foot, or in the region heel.

La chaussure équipée d'un support plantaire selon l'invention est donc destinée à un pied étroit. Le support plantaire est de préférence muni d'au moins deux pattes latérales opposées vers la région du pied, de telle sorte que pour un pied plus large on supprime ou escamote une ou deux pattes selon la largeur du pied.The shoe fitted with a plantar support according to the invention is therefore intended for a narrow foot. The plantar support is preferably provided with at least two lateral legs opposite towards the region of the foot, so that for a wider foot one or two legs are removed or retracted depending on the width of the foot.

Dans la région du talon on opère de la même manière, mais il est également possible de replier les deux pattes l'une sur l'autre pour augmenter la hauteur du support plantaire sous le talon, c'est-à-dire augmenter légèrement l'inclinaison initiale du pied vers I'avant.In the heel region, we operate in the same way, but it is also possible to fold the two legs one over the other to increase the height of the plantar support under the heel, i.e. slightly increase the initial tilt of the foot forward.

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

  • La figure 1 est une vue en perspective du support plantaire selon l'invention, la coque de la chaussure de ski étant représentée en trait fin en transparence.
  • La figure 2 est une vue de dessous d'une variante d'exécution montrant deux pattes repliées sous le support plantaire.
  • La figure 1 représente un support plantaire 1 en trait fort placé dans le fond d'une coque 2 représentée en trait fin d'une chaussure de ski en matière plastique venu d'une pièce avec une semelle 3.
The accompanying drawing shows, by way of example, an embodiment of the invention.
  • Figure 1 is a perspective view of the plantar support according to the invention, the shell of the ski boot being shown in thin lines in transparency.
  • Figure 2 is a bottom view of an alternative embodiment showing two legs folded under the plantar support.
  • FIG. 1 represents a plantar support 1 in strong lines placed in the bottom of a shell 2 shown in thin lines in a ski boot made of plastic material made in one piece with a sole 3.

Le support plantaire 1 comprend une pièce profilée rigide 4 en matière synthétique cellulaire légère. La face supérieure de la pièce 4, inclinée vers l'avant, est plane et elle est revêtue d'une garniture 5 constituée par une feuille de feutre collée sur la pièce 4.The plantar support 1 comprises a rigid profiled part 4 made of light cellular synthetic material. The upper face of the part 4, inclined towards the front, is flat and it is coated with a lining 5 constituted by a sheet of felt glued to the part 4.

Cette garniture 5 est munie à l'avant de deux pattes latérales opposées 6 et 7 et à l'arrière, de chaque côté du talon, de deuxpattes latérales 8 et 9. Lors que le support plantaire 1 est en dehors de la chaussure, les pattes s'étendent de chaque côté du support dans le même plan que le reste de la garniture 5. Lorsque le support plantaire 1 est disposé dans la chassure comme représenté à la figure 1, les pattes 6 à 9 se relèvent et viennent s'appliquer contre la paroi intérieure de la coque 2 en réduisant la largeur intérieure de cette coque. Dans cette position, la chaussure est adaptée à un pied relativement très étroit.This lining 5 is provided at the front with two opposite lateral tabs 6 and 7 and at the rear, on each side of the heel, with two lateral tabs 8 and 9. When the plantar support 1 is outside the shoe, the tabs extend on each side of the support in the same plane as the rest of the lining 5. When the plantar support 1 is disposed in the frame as shown in FIG. 1, the tabs 6 to 9 are raised and are applied against the interior wall of the shell 2 by reducing the interior width of this shell. In this position, the shoe is adapted to a relatively very narrow foot.

Si l'utilisateur, par exemple l'acheteur, a un pied plus large, il suffit d'éliminer une ou deux pattes latérale, en avant et/ou en arrière pour donner davantage de place au pied.If the user, for example the purchaser, has a wider foot, it suffices to eliminate one or two lateral legs, in front and / or behind to give more space to the foot.

D'autre part, en repliant sur le support plantaire une ou deux pattes 8 ou 9 ou en repliant l'une sur l'autre les deux pattes 8 et 9 on peut augmenter la hauteur du support plantaire au niveau du talon.On the other hand, by folding over the plantar support one or two legs 8 or 9 or by folding one over the other the two legs 8 and 9 one can increase the height of the plantar support at the heel.

D'une manière générale le support plantaire pourra comporter au moins une patte latérale à l'avant ou à l'arrière.In general, the plantar support may include at least one lateral tab at the front or at the rear.

Selon une variante d'exécution représentée à la figure 2, qui montre le support plantaire 1 vu de dessous, les pattes latérales, par exemple les pattes latérales 6 et 7 représentées, peuvent être repliées sous le support plantaire dans des dégagement formé par des creusures 10 et 11 ménagées dans la pièce profilée 4. Cette disposition permet d'escamoter les pattes latérales sans les couper, ce qui permet d'élargir ou de rétrécir la chaussure à volonté, ce qui peut être utile si la chaussure est utilisée par différentes personnes, comme c'est le cas par exemple des chaussures de location.According to an alternative embodiment shown in FIG. 2, which shows the plantar support 1 seen from below, the lateral tabs, for example the lateral tabs 6 and 7 shown, can be folded under the plantar support in a clearance formed by recesses 10 and 11 formed in the profiled part 4. This arrangement makes it possible to retract the lateral tabs without cutting them, which makes it possible to widen or shrink the shoe at will, which can be useful if the shoe is used by different people , as is the case for example with rental shoes.

La garniture 5 peut bien entendu être en toute matière souple.The lining 5 can of course be made of any flexible material.
