Description

La présente invention concerne une chaussure de ski alpin à entrée par l'arrière, constituée par une coque rigide dont un bas de coque est surmonté d'une tige au moins partiellement articulée sur ce dernier et constituée elle-même d'une partie postérieure ou capot arrière rabattable par rapport à une partie antérieure ou capot avant, autour d'un axe transversal, ladite coque étant rembourrée intérieurement par un chausson souple. Ce chausson enveloppe le pied et le bas de jambe et est interposé entre ces derniers et la coque rigide. Il comprend notamment, d'une part une cale arrière apte à coiffer une ouverture d'introduction arrière et d'autre part une cale avant, les deux cales étant plaquées respectivement aux capots arrière et avant précités et réalisées en une mousse constituant un support recevant un habillage de confort déhoussable ou non.The present invention relates to an alpine ski boot with rear entry, constituted by a rigid shell of which a shell bottom is surmounted by a rod at least partially articulated on the latter and itself constituted by a rear part or rear cover which can be folded down with respect to a front part or front cover, around a transverse axis, said shell being padded internally by a flexible liner. This slipper envelops the foot and the lower leg and is interposed between the latter and the rigid shell. It comprises in particular, on the one hand a rear wedge capable of covering a rear introduction opening and on the other hand a front wedge, the two wedges being pressed respectively to the aforementioned rear and front covers and made of a foam constituting a receiving support comfort cover with or without removable cover.

Dans les chaussures connues de ce type, une difficulté majeure réside dans le fait de devoir assurer un glissement continu du talon, lors de l'introduction du pied dans le chausson ou de son extraction, sans aucun obstacle.In known shoes of this type, a major difficulty lies in the fact of having to ensure a continuous sliding of the heel, during the introduction of the foot into the liner or its extraction, without any obstacle.

En effet, dans le type de chaussure précitée l'ouverture arrière du chausson est délimitée à sa partie inférieure par un rebord constituant le haut du talon dudit chausson et à proximité duquel se trouve l'extrémité inférieure de la cale arrière, de manière à ce que celle-ci coiffe ladite ouverture, où le rebord de talon, lors de la fermeture du capot arrière sur le capot avant. Il est à noter cependant que si en position de fermeture l'extrémité inférieure de la cale arrière vient se placer sensiblement en continuité du rebord de talon du chausson, il n'en est pas de même en position d'ouverture, lors de l'introduction du pied précisément. En effet, ladite cale arrière étant entraînée par le capot arrière sur lequel elle est fixée, il se crée, dans la zone charnière de ce dernier avec le bas de coque, un décollement angulaire de l'extrémité inférieure de la cale arrière par rapport au rebord de talon, qui a pour conséquence de créer un vide rompant la continuité de l'ensemble. A l'usage, il a été constaté qu'un tel vide était de nature à favoriser la butée du talon du pied de l'utilisateur, lors de son introduction dans le chausson, contre le rebord précité de la partie arrière de celui-ci, et par conséquent de déformer progressivement ledit rebord et constituer par là, un point d'inconfort.In fact, in the aforementioned type of shoe, the rear opening of the boot is delimited at its lower part by a rim constituting the top of the heel of the boot and near which the lower end of the rear wedge is located, so that that it covers said opening, where the heel rim, when closing the rear cover on the front cover. It should be noted, however, that if in the closed position the lower end of the rear wedge comes to be placed substantially in continuity with the heel edge of the boot, it is not the same in the open position, during the introduction of the foot precisely. Indeed, said rear wedge being driven by the rear cover to which it is fixed, it creates, in the hinge zone of the latter with the bottom of the shell, an angular detachment of the lower end of the rear wedge relative to the heel rim, which has the effect of creating a vacuum breaking the continuity of the whole. In use, it has been found that such a vacuum is likely to favor the abutment of the heel of the user's foot, when it is inserted into the boot, against the aforementioned rim of the rear part thereof. , and therefore gradually deform said rim and thereby constitute a point of discomfort.

Pour remédier à cela il est connu de disposer une languette à la base arrière de la cale avant, plus précisément à la partie inférieure de l'ouverture arrière du chausson. Une telle languette est rapportée par collage ou par couture et comporte une extrémité libre dirigée vers le haut. Elle assure en fait l'enveloppement de la partie postérieure du talon et donc ferme par recouvrement l'ouverture précitée d'introduction du pied et favorise le serrage des bords latéraux de l'ouverture.To remedy this, it is known to have a tongue at the rear base of the front wedge, more precisely at the lower part of the rear opening of the boot. Such a tab is attached by gluing or sewing and has a free end directed upwards. It in fact ensures the wrapping of the posterior part of the heel and therefore closes by covering the aforementioned opening for introducing the foot and promotes tightening of the lateral edges of the opening.

Dans ce cas, la cale arrière est en fait constituée en deux parties, l'une plaquée sur le capot arrière et l'autre, la languette, disposée à l'arrière de la cale avant. Cela entraîne un aménagement particulier de la languette afin que sa jonction avec la partie de cale arrière solidaire du capot soit assurée sans discontinuité pour éviter les zones de relief blessantes.In this case, the rear wedge is in fact made up of two parts, one pressed against the rear cover and the other, the tongue, disposed at the rear of the front wedge. This results in a particular arrangement of the tongue so that its junction with the rear wedge part secured to the cover is ensured without discontinuity to avoid areas of offensive relief.

De plus et surtout, en ce qui concerne le confort d'utilisation lors du chaussage, il est souvent nécessaire d'intervenir manuellement sur cette languette pour l'écarter lors de l'introduction du pied, sinon elle a tendance à être entraînée vers le bas par celui-ci.In addition and above all, with regard to the comfort of use during putting on, it is often necessary to intervene manually on this tongue to spread it during the introduction of the foot, otherwise it tends to be driven towards the down by this one.

Pour remédier à ces inconvénients, il a également été envisagé de réaliser un chausson monobloc donc sans cale arrière articulée.To remedy these drawbacks, it has also been envisaged to produce a one-piece liner therefore without an articulated rear wedge.

Dans le cas d'une chaussure à entrée par l'arrière, il fallait néanmoins prévoir un débattement possible de la partie arrière du chausson monobloc pour permettre l'introduction du pied.In the case of a shoe with rear entry, it was nevertheless necessary to provide for a possible clearance of the rear part of the one-piece liner to allow the introduction of the foot.

Pour cela, il a été imaginé un chausson comportant deux plis latéraux formant soufflet permettant aux parties avant et arrière de celui-ci, de suivre les mouvements d'ouverture ou de fermeture des capots avant et arrière.For this, it has been imagined a liner comprising two lateral pleats forming a bellows allowing the front and rear parts thereof, to follow the opening or closing movements of the front and rear hoods.

Une telle technique, présente d'autres types d'inconvénients à savoir, la nécessité d'adapter une technique de moulage très sophistiquée, et de créer néanmoins d'autres zones d'inconfort, au niveau des plis cette fois.Such a technique has other types of drawbacks, namely the need to adapt a very sophisticated molding technique, and nevertheless to create other areas of discomfort, at the folds this time.

La présente invention a pour but de remédier à tous ces inconvénients et concerne à cet effet une chaussure du type précité caractérisée en ce que la cale arrière de chausson comporte à sa partie inférieure dirigée vers la cale avant un prolongement vers le bas constituant une languette de chaussage souple d'une longueur telle à pouvoir s'étendre sans discontinuité, à partir de ladite cale, au moins le long de la partie interne du talon du chausson.4.The object of the present invention is to remedy all of these drawbacks and to this end relates to a shoe of the aforementioned type, characterized in that the rear boot liner has at its lower part directed towards the hold before a downward extension constituting a tongue of flexible footwear of such a length that it can extend without discontinuity, from said wedge, at least along the internal part of the heel of the boot. 4.

De cette façon on comprend aisément que l'on évite le retournement de la partie arrière du chausson formant talon lors de l'introduction du pied.In this way it is easily understood that one avoids the reversal of the rear part of the liner forming the heel during the introduction of the foot.

Selon une autre caractéristique de l'invention, la languette de chaussage est d'une longueur telle à s'étendre le long de la partie interne du talon du chausson et d'une partie arrière de sa semelle interne constituant son fond.According to another characteristic of the invention, the boot tongue is of a length such as to extend along the internal part of the heel of the boot and of a rear part of its internal sole constituting its bottom.

Ainsi, c'est le talon même de l'utilisateur qui immobilise ladite languette tant dans sa partie verticale qu'horizontale. Préférentiellement, la languette de chaussage est obtenue par un prolongement de l'habillage de confort de la cale arrière.Thus, it is the heel of the user which immobilizes said tongue both in its vertical and horizontal part. Preferably, the boot tongue is obtained by an extension of the comfort trim of the rear wedge.

Selon une autre caractéristique de l'invention, la languette de chaussage comporte à son extrémité libre des moyens de fixation amovibles disposés sur sa face dirigée vers la semelle du chausson. et qui sont constitués par un système de boucles-crochets auto-agrippables, rapportés sur les parties en correspondance l'une de l'autre.According to another characteristic of the invention, the boot tongue comprises at its free end removable fixing means arranged on its face directed towards the sole of the boot. and which consist of a system of hook-and-loop hooks, attached to the parts in correspondence with one another.

De cette manière, on évite un retournement de la languette lors du déchaussage. De plus, la cale arrière reste indépendante et amovible par rapport au reste du chausson. Dans une telle configuration la languette procure un confort supplémentaire, notamment au droit du bourrelet du talon de chausson et constitue dans cette zone, une charnière souple.In this way, it prevents a reversal of the tongue during heaving. In addition, the rear wedge remains independent and removable from the rest of the liner. In such a configuration, the tongue provides additional comfort, in particular at the level of the bead of the heel of the liner and in this zone constitutes a flexible hinge.

La description qui va suivre faite en regard des dessins annexés fera mieux comprendre comment l'invention peut être réalisée.The following description made with reference to the appended drawings will make it easier to understand how the invention can be implemented.

La figure 1 est une vue en perspective selon une coupe longitudinale d'une chaussure pourvue d'une cale arrière selon l'invention.Figure 1 is a perspective view along a longitudinal section of a shoe provided with a rear wedge according to the invention.

La figure 2 est une vue de détail à échelle agrandie de la partie arrière de la chaussure selon la figure 1.FIG. 2 is a detail view on an enlarged scale of the rear part of the shoe according to FIG. 1.

La figure 3 est une vue en plan d'une cale arrière selon l'invention, extraite de la chaussure.Figure 3 is a plan view of a rear wedge according to the invention, extracted from the shoe.

La figure 4 est une vue en coupe longitudinale partielle de la chaussure, munie de la cale arrière.Figure 4 is a partial longitudinal sectional view of the shoe, provided with the rear wedge.

Conformément à l'invention, la chaussure de ski 1 représentée sur la figure 1 comporte une coque rigide 2 dont un bas de coque 3 est surmonté d'une tige 4, au moins partiellement articulée sur ce dernier par l'intermédiaire de moyens d'articulation latéraux ou d'une zone de flexion non représentés.According to the invention, the ski boot 1 shown in FIG. 1 comprises a rigid shell 2 of which a shell bottom 3 is surmounted by a rod 4, at least partially articulated on the latter by means of means lateral articulation or flexion zone not shown.

Dans cet exemple de construction la tige 4 est constituée elle-même par une partie postérieure 5 ou capot arrière, rabattable par rapport à une partie antérieure 6 ou capot avant, autour d'un axe transversal 7 traversant des extensions latérales inférieures de ladite coque 2 à sa partie arrière.In this example of construction, the rod 4 is itself constituted by a rear part 5 or rear cover, which can be folded down relative to a front part 6 or front cover, around a transverse axis 7 crossing lower lateral extensions of said shell 2 at its back.

La coque 2 est rembourrée intérieurement par un chausson souple 8 qui enveloppe le pied et le bas de jambe, et qui est interposé entre ceux-ci et la coque rigide 2. Il comprend, d'une part une cale arrière 8b apte à coiffer une ouverture 9 d'introduction arrière dudit chausson 8, et d'autre part une cale avant 8a. Les deux cales 8b et 8a sont associées respectivement aux capots arrière 5 et avant 6. La cale 8a est dans cet exemple de construction, retenue par emboîtement dans le capot avant 6 et le bas de coque 3 et la cale 8b par l'intermédiaire d'un clip 10 traversant à la fois celle-ci et le capot 5.The shell 2 is padded internally by a flexible liner 8 which envelops the foot and the lower leg, and which is interposed between these and the rigid shell 2. It comprises, on the one hand a rear wedge 8b capable of styling a opening 9 for rear introduction of said liner 8, and on the other hand a front wedge 8a. The two wedges 8b and 8a are respectively associated with the rear cowls 5 and front 6. The wedge 8a is in this construction example, retained by fitting into the front cowl 6 and the bottom of the shell 3 and the wedge 8b by means of d '' a clip 10 crossing both the latter and the cover 5.

Le chausson 8 est réalisé de manière connue en soi, en une mousse coulée ou moulée, par exemple, constituant un support à un habillage interne 11 de confort, déhoussable ou non. L'habillage 11 se décompose en une partie 11a recouvrant simultanément la cale avant 8a et la semelle 8c constituant le fond du chausson 8, et en une partie 11b recouvrant la cale arrière 8b. Cet habillage de confort peut par exemple être constitué d'un tissu à mailles type "Jersey".The liner 8 is produced in a manner known per se, in a molded or molded foam, for example, constituting a support for an internal covering 11 of comfort, removable or not. The covering 11 is broken down into a part 11a simultaneously covering the front wedge 8a and the sole 8c constituting the bottom of the liner 8, and a part 11b covering the rear wedge 8b. This comfort covering may for example consist of a "Jersey" type mesh fabric.

Selon le présent exemple de réalisation, la cale arrière 8b du chausson 8 comporte à sa partie inférieure 8d dirigée vers la cale avant 8a, un prolongement qui s'étend vers le bas et qui constitue une languette de chaussage 11c. Avantageusement, cette languette de chaussage 11c est obtenue par un prolongement de la partie 11b de l'habillage de confort 11 de ladite cale arrière 8b.According to the present embodiment, the rear wedge 8b of the liner 8 has at its lower part 8d directed towards the front wedge 8a, an extension which extends downwards and which constitutes a boot tongue 11c. Advantageously, this boot tongue 11c is obtained by an extension of the part 11b of the comfort covering 11 of said rear wedge 8b.

L'habillage de confort 11 étant, dans le cas présent en tissu du type jersey, la languette de chaussage 11c ainsi obtenue est par conséquent souple et donc apte à épouser la conformation de la partie interne du talon 8e du chausson 8 par habillage 11a interposé. Par ailleurs, la longueur de la languette 11c est telle à présenter une extrémité libre 11d apte à pouvoir s'étendre, sans discontinuité, également sur une partie arrière de la semelle 8c constituant le fond du chausson 8. Bien entendu, la languette de chaussage 11c pourra très bien être obtenue également à partir d'un prolongement du support en mousse constituant la cale arrière 8b.The comfort covering 11 being, in the present case in jersey type fabric, the boot tongue 11c thus obtained is consequently flexible and therefore capable of conforming to the conformation of the internal part of the heel 8e of the liner 8 by covering 11a interposed . Furthermore, the length of the tongue 11c is such that it has a free end 11d capable of being able to extend, without discontinuity, also on a rear part of the sole 8c constituting the bottom of the bootie 8. Of course, the boot tongue 11c may very well also be obtained from an extension of the foam support constituting the rear wedge 8b.

On comprend aisément par ce qui précède et avec l'aide des figures 1, 2 et 4 que le vide 12, formé dans la zone charnière de la cale arrière 8b et du bas de coque 3, se trouve ainsi recouvert et ôte tout risque au pied en chaussage, de venir en butée contre le rebord 8f du talon 8e du chausson 8.It is easy to understand from the above and with the help of FIGS. 1, 2 and 4 that the void 12, formed in the hinge zone of the rear wedge 8b and of the bottom of the hull 3, is thus covered and removes any risk from foot in boot, to come into abutment against the rim 8f of the heel 8e of the boot 8.

La partie d'extrémité libre 11d de la languette 11c comporte des moyens de fixation amovibles disposés sur sa face dirigée vers la semelle 8c du chausson 8 et plus précisément vers la partie 11a de l'habillage 11 le revêtant. Ces moyens de fixation sont constitués par un système de crochets 13 disposés sur un support rapporté sur la languette 11c et auto-agrippables sur des boucles non visibles qui sont, soit rapportées sur un support solidarisé de la semelle 8c ou de la partie 11a de l'habillage 11, soit constituées par le matériau même dudit habillage, d'une texture appropriée.The free end part 11d of the tongue 11c comprises removable fixing means arranged on its face directed towards the sole 8c of the liner 8 and more precisely towards the part 11a of the covering 11 covering it. These fixing means are constituted by a system of hooks 13 arranged on a support attached to the tongue 11c and self-gripping on non-visible loops which are either attached to a support secured to the sole 8c or to the part 11a of the 'covering 11, or consist of the same material of said covering, of an appropriate texture.

Bien entendu, les moyens de fixation amovibles de la languette de chaussage 11c peuvent également, selon une variante d'exécution non représentée, être constitués par un système d'emboîtement élastique d'un bouton pression de la languette 11c, dans une cavité correspondante de la semelle interne 8c du chausson 8 constituant son fond.Of course, the removable fixing means of the boot tongue 11c can also, according to an alternative embodiment not shown, be constituted by a system elastic fitting of a pressure button of the tongue 11c, in a corresponding cavity of the inner sole 8c of the liner 8 constituting its bottom.

Comme le montrent les figures, le confort de l'utilisateur est encore amélioré par une semelle de confort amovible 14 rapportée à l'intérieur du chausson 8 en recouvrement de la semelle 8a de celui-ci constituant son fond interne. Il s'effectue ainsi un pincement de l'extrémité libre 11d de la languette 11c munie des moyens de fixation 13, entre lesdites semelles 8c et 14, lors d'une pression du talon du pied, en utilisation. Cela tend à parfaire le maintien de la languette 11c et à éviter son retournement lors du déchaussage.As the figures show, the comfort of the user is further improved by a removable comfort sole 14 attached to the inside of the liner 8 covering the sole 8a thereof constituting its internal bottom. There is thus a pinching of the free end 11d of the tongue 11c provided with the fixing means 13, between said soles 8c and 14, when the heel of the foot is pressed, in use.
