Abstract

Ski boot which consists of a shell (1) and of an upper (2) in the form of a collar and which is closed by at least one buckle (6, 7). These buckles are protected against impacts from the slalom poles by an auxiliary member (9) extending over the outer side of the boot in such a manner that the pole striking the boot is deflected from the trajectory of the buckles of the collar. This thus prevents the untimely opening of the buckles of the collar due to impacts from the poles. <IMAGE>

Description

La présente invention concerne une chaussure de ski constituée d'une coque et d'une tige en forme de collier articulée sur la coque, la tige étant fermée par au moins une boucle.The present invention relates to a ski boot consisting of a shell and a rod-shaped collar articulated on the shell, the rod being closed by at least one buckle.

On connaît déjà des chaussures de ski à quatre boucles dont la coque présente à l'avant une saillie en forme de rampe ayant pour effet d'empêcher que le piquet de slalom rencontré par la chaussure vienne buter contre la boucle antérieure de la chaussure, le piquet rencontré étant dévié par cette saillie. Les risques d'accrochage au piquet sont ainsi fortement réduits. Toute-fois, cette saillie n'empêche pas le piquet de venir frapper la tige de la chaussure et il arrive que les boucles de la tige s'ouvrent sous le choc.Ski boots with four loops are already known, the shell of which has a ramp-shaped projection at the front, the effect of which is to prevent the slalom stake encountered by the boot from coming up against the anterior loop of the boot, the picket encountered being deflected by this projection. The risks of sticking to the stake are thus greatly reduced. However, this projection does not prevent the stake from hitting the upper of the shoe and it sometimes happens that the loops of the upper open under impact.

La présente invention a pour but de protéger les boucles du collier contre les chocs des piquets de slalom.The object of the present invention is to protect the loops of the collar against the impacts of slalom poles.

La chaussure selon l'invention est caractérisée en ce que la chaussure comprend des moyens de protection de la boucle de la tige contre les chois des piquets de slalom constitués d'un organe auxiliaire s'étendant au moins sur le côté extérieur de la chaussure de telle manière que le piquet heurtant la chaussure est dévié de la trajectoire de la boucle de la tige.The shoe according to the invention is characterized in that the shoe comprises means for protecting the loop of the upper against the choice of slalom pegs consisting of an auxiliary member extending at least on the outside of the shoe so that the stake striking the shoe is deviated from the path of the loop of the upper.

Dans le cas d'une coque fermée par des boucles, l'organe auxiliaire est avantageusement porté, à une de ses extrémités, par la boucle antérieure de manière à ne pas gêner l'ouverture de cette boucle et il est conformé de manière à ne pas gêner l'ouverture de l'autre boucle de la coque.In the case of a shell closed by loops, the auxiliary member is advantageously carried, at one of its ends, by the front loop so as not to hinder the opening of this loop and it is shaped so as not to not hinder the opening of the other loop of the hull.

L'organe auxiliaire peut être constitué d'une simple barre recourbée de manière appropriée ou d'une plaque fixée sur une barre.The auxiliary member may consist of a simple bar curved appropriately or of a plate fixed to a bar.

Le dessin annexé représente, à titre d'exemple, deux formes d'exécution de l'invention.The accompanying drawing shows, by way of example, two embodiments of the invention.

La figure 1 est une vue de côté d'une chaussure droite à quatre boucles équipée d'un organe auxiliaire selon une première forme d'exécution.Figure 1 is a side view of a straight shoe with four loops equipped with an auxiliary member according to a first embodiment.

La figure 2 est une vue de trois quarts de cette même chaussure représentant l'organe auxiliaire en éclaté.Figure 2 is a three-quarter view of the same shoe showing the exploded auxiliary member.

La figure 3 représente une chaussure identique équipée d'un organe auxiliaire selon une seconde forme d'exécution.Figure 3 shows an identical shoe equipped with an auxiliary member according to a second embodiment.

La chaussure représentée aux figures 1 et 2 est une chaussure à volume variable de type connu, comprenant une coque 1 et une tige 2 en forme de collier articulée en un point 3 sur la coque et comprenant quatre boucles 4, 5, 6, 7, les boucles 4 et 5 servant à serrer la coque 1 sur le pied et les boucles 6 et 7 à fermer et serrer le collier 2 autour de la cheville et du bas de la jambe. La chaussure est en outre équipée, du côté extérieur, au niveau de l'articulation 3, de moyens de réglage du "canting" 8, c'est-à-dire de l'inclinaison latérale de la tige 2 relativement à la semelle.The shoe represented in FIGS. 1 and 2 is a shoe with variable volume of known type, comprising a shell 1 and a rod 2 in the form of a collar articulated at a point 3 on the shell and comprising four loops 4, 5, 6, 7, loops 4 and 5 used to tighten the shell 1 on the foot and loops 6 and 7 to close and tighten the collar 2 around the ankle and the bottom of the leg. The shoe is further equipped, on the outside, at the joint 3, with means for adjusting the "canting" 8, that is to say the lateral inclination of the upper 2 relative to the sole.

De tels moyens, sont décrits, par exemple, dans le brevet US 4 334 368.Such means are described, for example, in US patent 4,334,368.

La chaussure est équipée d'une plaque antichoc 9 fixée sur une barre 10 recourbée de manière à obtenir une position adéquate de la plaque 9 et de permettre le passage de la boucle 5 lors de son ouverture. Cette plaque est fixée sur la barre 10 au moyen de rivets sur trois élargissements 11, 12 et 13 de la barre 10. L'extrémité postérieure de la barre 10 est fixée dans une pièce 14 en matière synthétique présentant une fente 15 dans laquelle la barre 10 est introduite à force. La fente 15 débouche dans un logement 16 de section approximativement circulaire. La pièce 14 est logée dans une rainure 17 du dispositif 8. L'extrémité antérieure 10b de la barre 10 est chassée dans une partie tubulaire 18 d'une pièce de liaison 19 présentant d'autre part une tige 20 fixée dans le trou d'un plot 21 monté sur le tirant 22 du levier de la première boucle 4.The shoe is equipped with an impact-resistant plate 9 fixed to a curved bar 10 so as to obtain an adequate position of the plate 9 and to allow the passage of the buckle 5 when it is opened. This plate is fixed to the bar 10 by means of rivets on three widenings 11, 12 and 13 of the bar 10. The rear end of the bar 10 is fixed in a piece 14 of synthetic material having a slot 15 in which the bar 10 is introduced by force. The slot 15 opens into a housing 16 of approximately circular section. The part 14 is housed in a groove 17 of the device 8. The front end 10b of the bar 10 is driven into a tubular part 18 of a connecting part 19 having on the other hand a rod 20 fixed in the hole a stud 21 mounted on the tie rod 22 of the lever of the first loop 4.

Le montage de l'extrémité antérieur 10b de la barre 10 permet d'ouvrir et de fermer les boucles 4 et 5 sans difficulté en position fermée, telle que représenté à la figure 1. Un piquet venant buter contre la chaussure est dévié par la plaque 9, de telle sorte qu'il ne vient pas buter ni sur les boucles 6 et 7 ni sur le collier lui-même et donc ne risque pas de provoquer son ouverture.The mounting of the front end 10b of the bar 10 makes it possible to open and close the loops 4 and 5 without difficulty in the closed position, as shown in FIG. 1. A stake coming up against the shoe is deflected by the plate 9, so that it does not abut either on the loops 6 and 7 or on the collar itself and therefore does not risk opening it.

La pièce 14 pourrait faire partie du dispositif de réglage du "canting".The part 14 could be part of the "canting" adjustment device.

Selon la seconde forme d'exécution représentée à la figure 3, l'organe auxiliaire antichoc est constitué simplement d'une barre métallique 23 recourbée de manière à lui donner une forme adéquate. L'extrémité antérieure de cette barre est engagée sous un pont 24 où elle est fixée au moyen d'une vis 25. La barre 23 est supportée en un point intermédiaire par un plot 26 monté sur le tirant 22 de la boucle antérieure 4. Elle forme ensuite un arceau en forme de pare-chocs sur le bout de la chaussure et son autre extrémmité est fixée dans une surépaisseur 27 de la denture de la première boucle 4. Le point de fixation 27 peut être un point de pivotement de manière à faciliter l'ouverture de la boucle 4. On voit qu'il est possible de donner la forme la plus adéquate à la partie de la barre 23 située entre le pont 24 et le plot 26.According to the second embodiment shown in Figure 3, the shockproof auxiliary member simply consists of a metal bar 23 bent so as to give it an adequate shape. The front end of this bar is engaged under a bridge 24 where it is fixed by means of a screw 25. The bar 23 is supported at an intermediate point by a stud 26 mounted on the tie rod 22 of the anterior loop 4. It then forms a bumper-shaped hoop on the toe of the shoe and its other end is fixed in an extra thickness 27 of the teeth of the first loop 4. The attachment point 27 can be a pivot point so as to facilitate the opening of the loop 4. It can be seen that it is possible to give the most suitable shape to the part of the bar 23 located between bridge 24 and stud 26.

La barre 23, aussi bien que la barre 10 de la première forme d'exécution, pourrait être supportée sur la coque au moyen d'une pièce particulière indépendante de la boucle 4.The bar 23, as well as the bar 10 of the first embodiment, could be supported on the shell by means of a particular piece independent of the loop 4.

L'organe auxiliaire, par exemple la barre 23, pourrait bien entendu posséder ses propres organes de fixation sur la coque et/ou sur le collier.The auxiliary member, for example the bar 23, could of course have its own fixing members on the shell and / or on the collar.
