Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a sports shoe, especially for walking, running or jumping.
  • Existing sports shoes can be painful for the user when they are used more or less intensively, and even generate phlyctenes, inflammation, bruising or other pathologies in specific places of the foot, know at the level of the internal face and in front part of the heel, at the level of the first and fifth metatarsal heads and at the level of the end of the toes.
  • the present invention aims to remedy these drawbacks by providing a sports shoe providing perfect foot comfort in all circumstances, and in particular when the user is in motion, this shoe must, in addition, have perfect resistance to wear.
  • the stiffening element is shaped so as to impart relative rigidity to the sole along a horizontal transverse axis, that is to say in front-rear bending of the sole, and around the longitudinal axis thereof, that is to say in torsion of its front part relative to its rear part, while allowing the pivoting of its front part relative to its rear part about a vertical axis located approximately at the level of the calcaneo-cuboid joint of the foot.
  • the side walls of the upper of the shoe have relative flexibility in a horizontal plane, substantially at the level of said articulation.
  • this phenomenon seems to have the role, on the one hand, by tending the plantar fascia, to stiffen the bony arch of the foot, which makes it possible to avoid its crushing and to absorb the shock of the foot against the ground. , and, on the other hand, to orient the plantar fascia so that the heel is placed substantially in the axis of the stroke, which makes it possible to optimize the grip and the transmission of the impulse.
  • the sole comprises two grooves arranged longitudinally on either side of the stiffening element, giving it flexibility in a horizontal plane necessary for the aforementioned pivoting, that is to say allowing the compression of its constituent material of the side towards which its front and rear parts pivot and the stretch of its constituent material on the opposite side, and this while retaining material along the lateral edges of the sole to provide support and protection for the foot at this location.
  • the grooves are arranged in the upper face of the sole while the stiffening element is housed in a cavity formed in the lower part of the sole.
  • the stiffening element is contained in a housing made of relatively flexible material whose central part, centered on the pivot axis is narrowed and shaped to have a certain elastic flexibility in a horizontal plane, in order to be able to follow the pivoting of the front and rear parts of the sole around said axis, and the end parts of which are flared and have rigid side walls which the side walls of the stiffening element meet when the front and rear parts of the sole pivot, these side walls playing the role of stops limiting the pivoting of said front and rear parts of the sole.
  • the housing is advantageously shaped so that its lateral walls allow the front and rear parts of the sole to pivot by substantially 15 ° on either side of the longitudinal axis of the sole.
  • the end walls of the housing have a concave shape of constant curvature substantially centered on the pivot axis of the front and rear parts of the sole, and the stiffening element has convex end walls with the same radius of curvature as the end walls of the housing, along which they slide when the front and rear parts of the sole pivot.
  • the figures represent, from different angles, a sport shoe 1, in particular walking, running or jumping.
  • the grooves 2 are located along the lateral edges of the sole 3. They are substantially centered on the axis of the calcaneo-cuboid joint of the foot and have a generally curved shape towards the interior of the sole 3.
  • the walls of the latter, which externally delimit the grooves 2, comprise a plurality of notches 7 arranged substantially perpendicular to them.
  • the cavity 4 is also substantially centered on the axis of the calcaneo-cuboid joint and has a narrowed shape in the central part and flared at its ends, whose lateral edges more or less follow the walls of the sole 3 which internally delimit the grooves 2.
  • the walls of the sole 3 delimiting the ends of the cavity 4 have a concave shape of constant curvature, substantially centered on the axis of the calcaneo-cuboid joint. Cavity 4 is further extended by two recesses 10 of less depth than it.
  • the housing 5 consists of a bottom 11 and a cover 12 of relatively flexible plastic material, in which the bottom 11 can be interlocked, this cover 12 having two longitudinal ears 13, of shape corresponding to that of the recesses 10.
  • the bottom 11 and the cover 12 have a shape which corresponds to that of the cavity 4, in which they can be inserted without play, the ears 13 of the cover 12 being positioned in the recesses 10.
  • the stiffening element 6 is made of rigid plastic and has a general shape which corresponds to that of the housing 5, except that the angle formed by the rectilinear side walls 6a of each of its flared ends is less than approximately 15 ° at the angle formed by the corresponding side walls 11a of the ends of the bottom 11, so that each aforementioned side wall 6a of the stiffening element 6 delimits, with the corresponding side wall 11a facing it, a space 20 in the form of a sector of a circle with an angle of approximately 7.5 °.
  • the stiffening element 6 has a notch 21 which engages around said projecting wall 15 of the housing 5, the shape of this notch 21 being such that it delimits between the stiffening element 6 and the projecting wall 15, two spaces 22 substantially in the form of a sector of a circle, each of which is at an angle of approximately 7.5 °.
  • the lateral walls of the upper of the shoe have, moreover, lateral inserts 23 of extensible material, giving them relative flexibility in a horizontal plane, substantially at the level of said articulation.
  • the shoe 1 may comprise a band 24 bearing under the midsole 3 at or near the pivoting zone and enclosing the instep, this band 24 being able to be stretched by the laces in order to clamp the shoe 1 and hold the sole 3 against the foot.
  • the efficiency of shoe 1 is significantly increased thanks to this clamping.
  • the latter gives relative rigidity to the sole 3 along a transverse horizontal axis, that is to say in front-rear bending of the sole 3, and around a longitudinal axis thereof, that is to say -tell in torsion of its front part relative to its rear part, while allowing, in combination with the grooves 2, the pivoting of the front part of the sole 3 relative to its rear part around a substantially coincident vertical axis with the axis of the calcaneo-cuboid joint of the foot, as shown in Figure 6.
  • the grooves 2 allow, in effect, the compression of the constituent material of the sole on the side towards which the front and rear parts thereof pivot and the stretching of its constituent material on the opposite side, and this while retaining flexible material along the lateral edges of the sole 3 to provide support and protection for the foot at this location.
  • the aforementioned spaces 20, 22 allow the housing 5 to follow the pivoting of the front and rear parts of the sole around the axis of the aforementioned articulation, the side walls 11a having the bottom 11 or the projecting wall 15 playing the role of limit stops for pivoting of the front and rear parts by an amplitude of the order of 15 ° on either side of the longitudinal axis of shoe 1.
  • the housing 5 also makes it possible to protect the stiffening element 6, and participates in the elastic return of the front and rear parts of the sole 3, as well as in the stiffening of these in flexion and in torsion.
  • the shoe according to the invention thanks to its possibility of pivoting around the aforementioned axis, can adapt to the natural deformation of the foot during sports activities, while providing perfect comfort to the shoe at the level of the pivot axis, because the flexibility of the sole is obtained without making recesses in it limiting the protection of the foot.
  • the sole 3 has a perfect visual appearance.
  • the mounting as above of the stiffening element 6 in the sole 3 provides significant bonding surfaces which eliminate any risk of wear, and in particular of shearing of the sole 3 at the level of the attachment of the element 6 to that here, the housing 5 constituting an interface between the rigid material of the stiffening element 6 and that, flexible, of the sole 3.
  • the sole could include a cavity housing a series of successive links articulated to each other in a horizontal plane in the manner of the vertebrae of a spine, but linked to each other rigidly in flexion in a vertical plane and in torsion , along the axis of the series, which would provide the aforementioned rigidity along the transverse and longitudinal axes mentioned above and the possibility of pivoting of its front and rear parts in a horizontal plane.
