Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a sports shoe intended for the practice of a gliding sport such as cross-country skiing, (in particular the practice of skating (or skating)), of the type consisting of an outer sole and of a low rod provided with a rear buttress on which is articulated a rigid collar intended to surround the lower leg, and which extends upwards from the articulation, beyond the upper end of it.
  • a gliding sport such as cross-country skiing, (in particular the practice of skating (or skating)
  • a sports shoe intended for the practice of a gliding sport such as cross-country skiing, (in particular the practice of skating (or skating)), of the type consisting of an outer sole and of a low rod provided with a rear buttress on which is articulated a rigid collar intended to surround the lower leg, and which extends upwards from the articulation, beyond the upper end of it.
  • a sports shoe in particular for the practice of gliding sport (skating) of the type comprising an outer sole capable of being fixed on a sliding element and a rod provided with a rear buttress on which is articulated a rigid collar intended to surround the lower leg and which extends up the upper from the articulation, beyond its upper end, said shoe further comprising energized means for longitudinal angular control of the sliding element in l air, relative to the sole of the shoe during the return phase of the sliding element, which are arranged between a fixed point of the upper and a mobile point of the articulated collar and which comprise at least one elastic member constituting a energy source able to charge during a pushing phase on the sliding element and to be released during the brought back phase.
  • Such means consist in fact of a return energy between the articulated collar and the rod advantageously offering effective assistance of the leg in this phase of the practice of skating.
  • the feeling of heaviness of the ski at the level of the tip is significantly reduced, and it provides better anteroposterior support as well as an easier return of the ski. The recovery is then carried out in better conditions because the fatigue is less.
  • the object of the present invention is to remedy this drawback while preserving the advantages previously acquired.
  • the shoe shown by way of example in FIG. 1, is particularly suitable for skating or skating and has, externally, the appearance of a shoe originally made up of a low rod 10, c ' that is to say a rod whose rigid parts do not extend in height beyond the malleoli, an outer sole 11 and a closure system 20 for putting on or taking off the type known in self covering an internal lacing system.
  • a ski 30 is fixed to a front part 11a of the sole 11 by means of a fixing 16 shown diagrammatically.
  • the rod 10 is made of flexible material and is provided at the heel with a rear buttress 12 which can be produced in any way known per se.
  • This buttress 12 is preferably made of rigid synthetic material and extends over the entire rear part of the shoe all around the heel thereof.
  • This buttress 12 extends, in the region of the malleoli, to the top of the rod 10 for receiving an articulated collar 13, the latter being fixed, in a manner known per se, at the level of the malleoli.
  • the articulated collar 13 is constituted by a cuff made of rigid material and in particular of a synthetic material as known under the trade name Pébax.
  • This collar 13 extends up to the bottom of the calf and surrounds the entire lower leg. It is open at its front part to allow the positioning of the foot in the shoe and is also provided with clamping means (not shown) of a type known per se and constituted for example by hook-and-loop means.
  • This collar 13 is also provided at the rear with a notch 13a intended to facilitate the rearward rotation of this collar.
  • the large height of the collar 13 allows excellent lateral holding of the leg during skating, such a height also allowing greater distribution of the reaction forces over the leg and, consequently, , better comfort for the user.
  • the skating shoe according to the invention also includes energized means 40 for longitudinal angular control of the upper relative to the collar, that is to say of the ski 30, when it is in the air, relative to the sole 11 of the boot during the return phase of said ski 30, which makes it possible to remedy certain drawbacks encountered in the practice of skating and which have been set out above.
  • These means 40 are, in the case of FIGS. 1 to 4 arranged between a point A of the rod 10 and a point B of the articulated collar 13 and comprise an elastic member 41 constituting a source of energy, in this case a metal spring acting in compression between points A and B.
  • a source of energy in this case a metal spring acting in compression between points A and B.
  • this spring is loaded during a pushing phase of the ski 30 (see FIG. 2) and is released during the brought back phase (see FIG. 3), to tension to recall said rod 10 towards the collar 13 in a pivoting movement upwards in the direction F, consequently causing the automatic lifting of the front end or tip of the ski 30, when the latter is not in a driving phase .
  • the spring 41 will preferably be arranged so that at rest and in the absence of the foot in the shoe, the vertical axis I is slightly inclined in the direction of the position O 2 , so that the positioning of the foot in the shoe causes a slight prestressing of the spring at rest, thus eliminating any play at the start of the pivoting movement.
  • the declutching means 50 are constituted by an upper free end 41a of the spring 41 and by a stop member 42 also free disposed on a corresponding part of the collar 13 in positions relative such as to leave a minimum clearance "j", so that the cooperation of the parts 41a and 42 takes place only in a direction going from the middle position O to the position of end of extension O 1 .
  • the lower end 41b of the same spring 41 is integral, or at least in permanent support on a fixed part 43 of the rod 10.
  • the fixed part 43 is produced at the level of the buttress 12 of said rod 10 and the opposite stop member 42 is constituted by the bottom of a sheath 44 secured to the collar 13, in which the spring 41 is capable of sliding freely to form the declutching means 50, between the position O and the position O 2 of the collar 13 relative to the rod 10.
  • the spring 41 is mounted along a rod 46, articulated at 47 on the fixed part 43 and carrying the stop 41b for the lower end of the spring. This rod 46 then serves as a guide.
  • FIG. 5 essentially differs from the previous one in that the elastic member consists of a blade 61 which is elastically deformable, working in buckling, between a position I of rest and a position II of work corresponding to position O 1 above of the collar 13 with respect to the rod 10, the declutching means 60 being identical to the preceding 50.
  • the embodiment of FIG. 6 essentially differs from the previous ones in that the elastic member 71 is constituted by at least one elastically deformable bar, formed by two perpendicular branches, one of which horizontal 71a is integral with a corresponding housing 72 produced in a lateral part of the rod 10 and the other vertical 71b of which is free and capable of cooperating at its end 71c with a stop member 73, obtained on the side of the collar 13, during an inclination of the latter towards rear, beyond the middle position O.
  • the embodiment of FIG. 7 essentially differs from the previous ones in that the elastic member 81 is constituted by a deformable pin 82 fixed by its base 82c on each of the articulations 14 of the collar 13 relative to the rod 10, its upper branches 82a and lower 82b being respectively in connection with an upper movable stop 83 of the collar 13 and a lower fixed stop 84 of the rod 10, which pin 82 is capable of being compressed during an inclination of the collar 13 backwards at beyond the middle position O, the upper branch 82a being able to slide relative to the stop 83 to form the declutching means 80, in a direction of forward inclination of the collar 13 towards the position O2.
  • the pin 82 is formed by a double pin comprising upper branches 82a arranged on either side of the collar 13 to wrap it in its rear part 13a while the lower branches 82b are arranged on both sides. other side of the rod 10 to also wrap it in its rear part 12a at the level of the buttress 12.
  • the double pin can either be obtained for example in a single piece by molding of plastic material, or by conformation of a wire-like metallic element elastically deformable or other.
  • the embodiment of FIG. 8 essentially differs from the previous ones in that the elastic member 91 is constituted by at least one arm 92 coming from a lateral lower part of the collar 13A and is capable of coming into contact with a corresponding stop 93 produced on a rear part of the rod 10 at the level of the buttress 12, beyond the middle position O of the collar 13A in a rearward direction and to escape therefrom in a forward direction, to form the declutching means 90.
  • the embodiment of FIG. 9 essentially differs from the previous ones in that the elastic member 101 consists of at least one arm 102 coming from the buttress 12 of the rod 10 and is capable of coming into contact with a corresponding stop 103 produced on a lower part of the collar 13B, beyond the middle position O of the collar 13B in a rearward direction and to escape therefrom in a forward direction, to form the declutching means 100.
  • the arms 92 or 102 it is advantageous for the arms 92 or 102 to be doubled so as to be arranged on either side of the boot, the two parts thus formed being in connection to surround the rear of the upper and constitute thus a better support for the collar 13A or 13B on the stop 92 or on the arm 102.
