Description

La présente invention a pour objet une chaussure de ski à coque en matière synthétique constituée d'un bas de coque destiné à entourer le pied et la talon, d'une tige articulée sur ce bas de coque et comprenant une partie postérieure basculable en arrière et d'un chaus­son intérieur de confort, et comprenant une paire de cales amovibles disposées dans des logements à l'ar­rière de la chaussure, dans la tige, au-dessus du talon, de chaque côté de la partie médiane de la tige s'étendant en face du tendon d'Achille, pour le calage du talon.The present invention relates to a shell ski boot made of synthetic material consisting of a shell bottom intended to surround the foot and the heel, a rod articulated on this shell bottom and comprising a rear part which can be tilted back and an inner comfort liner, and comprising a pair of removable wedges arranged in housings at the rear of the boot, in the upper, above the heel, on each side of the middle part of the upper extending in front of the Achilles tendon, for wedging the heel.

Pour la pratique du ski, il est essentiel que le talon soit maintenu aussi fermement que possible dans la chaussure, aussi bien pour le guidage du ski que lors de la flexion de la jambe de sorte que le talon ne se soulève pas du fond de la chaussure. Il est connu de caler le talon au moyen de pièces de rembourrage fixées latéralement sur le chausson intérieur ou introduites dans des poches latérales, comme décrit par exemple dans le brevet FR-2 342 039.For skiing, it is essential that the heel is held as firmly as possible in the boot, both for guiding the ski and when bending the leg so that the heel does not lift from the bottom of the shoe. It is known to wedge the heel by means of padding pieces fixed laterally on the inner liner or introduced into side pockets, as described for example in patent FR-2,342,039.

On a également proposé de remplacer ces pièces de rem­bourrage amovibles par des cales en forme de U aux branches d'épaisseurs différentes contenues dans des logements prévus dans le rembourrage solidaire de la partie postérieure de la tige. Une telle construction est décrite dans le brevet FR-2 608 384. Les logements sont fermés extérieurement par la partie postérieure de la tige. Pour avoir accès aux cales, il est donc néces­saire de séparer tout d'abord le rembourrage de la par­tie postérieure de la tige. Les cales ayant une forme de cavalier, leur section doit être au moins approxima­ tivement rectangulaire. Or une telle section n'est pas idéale pour le confort de la cheville et nécessite dans tous les cas l'interposition d'un rembourrage important.It has also been proposed to replace these removable pieces of padding with U-shaped shims with branches of different thicknesses contained in housings provided in the padding integral with the rear part of the rod. Such a construction is described in patent FR-2 608 384. The housings are closed externally by the rear part of the rod. To gain access to the shims, it is therefore necessary to first separate the padding from the rear part of the rod. The wedges having a jumper shape, their section must be at least approxima tively rectangular. However, such a section is not ideal for the comfort of the ankle and in all cases requires the interposition of significant padding.

La présente invention a pour but de rendre les cales immédiatement accessibles de manière à permettre au skieur de changer de cales sur le champ.The present invention aims to make the wedges immediately accessible so as to allow the skier to change wedges on the field.

La chaussure selon l'invention est caractérisée par le fait que les cales sont constituées par des corps oblongs logés dans des poches sensiblement verticales prévues sur le chausson.The shoe according to the invention is characterized in that the wedges are formed by oblong bodies housed in substantially vertical pockets provided on the liner.

Il suffit d'écarter la partie postérieure de la tige pour avoir accès aux cales, ce qui permet à l'utilisa­teur de changer de cales, même sans déchausser. Le skieur peut porter sur lui quelques cales de différen­tes sections qui lui permettront d'obtenir le calage convenable de son talon. Le calage peut être différen­cié de chaque côté du talon.It is enough to move aside the posterior part of the rod to have access to the wedges, which allows the user to change wedges, even without loosening. The skier can carry with him a few wedges of different sections which will allow him to obtain the correct wedging of his heel. The wedging can be differentiated on each side of the heel.

Dans le cas oû le bas de coque est muni d'une languette arrière, les poches seront de préférence fixées sur une languette du chausson, elle-même pourvue d'une poche venant coiffer la languette de las coque.In the case where the bottom of the shell is provided with a rear tongue, the pockets will preferably be fixed on a tongue of the liner, itself provided with a pocket which covers the tongue of the shell.

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

  • La figure 1 est une vue en perspective d'une chaussure dont la tige est représentée en transparence.
  • La figure 2 représente la bas de coque et le chausson séparés l'un de l'autre.
  • La figure 3 représente une cale vue en largeur.
  • La figure 4 représente trois cales d'épaisseurs diffé­rentes.
The accompanying drawing shows, by way of example, an embodiment of the invention.
  • Figure 1 is a perspective view of a shoe whose upper is shown in transparency.
  • Figure 2 shows the shell bottom and the liner separated from each other.
  • Figure 3 shows a wedge viewed in width.
  • FIG. 4 represents three shims of different thicknesses.

La chaussure représentée à la figure 1 est une chaus­sure à coque en matière synthétique comprenant un bas de coque 1 incluant la semelle et entourant le pied et le talon et une tige articulée sur le bas de coque 1 et constituée d'une partie avant 2 et d'une partie arrière 3 à l'intérieur de laquelle est fixé un rembourrage 4. Le bas de coque 1 est en outre muni, à l'arrière, d'une languette 5 reliée au bas de coque par un rétrécisse­ment 6 et capable de fléchir aussi bien vers l'avant que vers l'arrière. L'intérieur de la chaussure est occupé par un chausson de confort 7 ouvert vers l'ar­rière au-dessus du talon. Ce chausson 7 est muni à l'arrière, au-dessus du talon, d'une languette 8 s'é­tendant sensiblement verticalement et transversalement à la direction du pied. Dans sa partie supérieure, cette languette 8 est munie d'une poche 9 dont l'ouver­ture 10 est dirigée vers le bas. La dimension de cette poche 9 correspond à celle de la languette 5 de la coque qui vient d'introduire dans cette poche 9, de telle sorte que cette poche est maintenue en place par la languette 5. De chaque côté de la languette 8 est fixée une poche 11, respectivement 12, s'étendant sen­siblement verticalement. Ces poches 11 et 12 sont des­tinées à recevoir une paire de cales 13 et 14 consti­tuées par de petites barres en caoutchouc ou en matière synthétique plus ou moins dure. Les cales 13 et 14 s'étendent donc au-dessus du talon, de chaque côté du tendon d'Achille du skieur. Entre le milieu et les extrémités, les cales présentent des rainures 15 et 16 qui donnent une certaine souplesse aux extrémités des cales, comme représenté à la figure 3.The shoe represented in FIG. 1 is a shell shoe made of synthetic material comprising a shell bottom 1 including the sole and surrounding the foot and the heel and a rod articulated on the shell bottom 1 and consisting of a front part 2 and a rear part 3 inside which is fixed a padding 4. The bottom of the shell 1 is further provided, at the rear, with a tongue 5 connected to the bottom of the shell by a narrowing 6 and capable of flex both forwards and backwards. The interior of the shoe is occupied by a comfort boot 7 open towards the rear above the heel. This liner 7 is provided at the rear, above the heel, with a tongue 8 extending substantially vertically and transversely to the direction of the foot. In its upper part, this tongue 8 is provided with a pocket 9, the opening 10 of which is directed downwards. The size of this pocket 9 corresponds to that of the tongue 5 of the shell which has just introduced into this pocket 9, so that this pocket is held in place by the tongue 5. On each side of the tongue 8 is fixed a pocket 11, respectively 12, extending substantially vertically. These pockets 11 and 12 are intended to receive a pair of shims 13 and 14 constituted by small bars of rubber or of more or less hard synthetic material. The wedges 13 and 14 therefore extend above the heel, on each side of the skier's Achilles tendon. Between the middle and the ends, the wedges have grooves 15 and 16 which give flexibility to the ends of the wedges, as shown in FIG. 3.

Le skieur disposera de préférence sur lui d'un jeu de cales de différentes épaisseurs et/ou largeurs, par exemple trois épaisseurs différentes comme représenté à la figure 4. Il pourra donc en tout temps ajuster le calage de son talon en choisissant la cale adéquate, et ceci de façon différenciée pour chaque côté du talon.The skier will preferably have a set of wedges of different thicknesses and / or widths on him, for example three different thicknesses as shown in FIG. 4. He can therefore at any time adjust the setting of his heel by choosing the appropriate wedge , and this in a differentiated way for each side of the heel.

Il serait bien entendu possible de fixer les poches 11 et 12 sur un chausson d'un autre type ne comportant pas la languette 8.It would of course be possible to fix the pockets 11 and 12 on a shoe of another type which does not have the tongue 8.
