Abstract

A ski boot consists of a shell (1) of plastics with variable volume, designed to cover the front of the foot and instep with two overlapping flaps (2, 3) with fixings (4, 5). The front end of the gap formed between the flaps is covered by an extension, either on the upper flap (3) or on the front fixing. When the boot is fastened, the front end of the gap is covered by the extension on the upper flap or on the strap forming part of the front fixing. <IMAGE>

Description

La présente invention a pour objet une chaussure de ski comprenant une coque en matière plastique à volume variable venant se refermer sur le devant du pied et du cou-de-pied par deux rabats superposés, des moyens de fermeture et de serrage de ces rabats et au moins une partie recouvrant au moins l'extrémité antérieure, c'est-à-dire proche du bout de pied, du rabat inférieur.The present invention relates to a ski boot comprising a plastic shell with variable volume which closes on the front of the foot and the instep by two superimposed flaps, means for closing and tightening these flaps and at least one part covering at least the anterior end, that is to say close to the toe, of the lower flap.

Les coques de chaussures à volume variable présentent, à l'extrémité antérieure des rabats, une fente transversale formée entre le bord transversal de la découpe de la coque et l'extrémité des rabats. Afin d'empêcher la neige et l'eau de pénétrer dans la chaussure par cette fente, il est usuel d'obturer cette fente au moyen d'une pièce en caoutchouc relativement tendre. Cette pièce en caoutchouc doit être toujours bien serrée lorsque la chaussure est fermée. Si la pièce en caoutchouc est relativement épaisse, ce but est atteint, mais la mise en place de la pièce en caoutchouc est peu commode. Une pièce en caoutchouc mince est plus facile à mettre en place, mais elle n'assure pas toujours l'étanchéité souhaitée. En outre, cette pièce en caoutchouc peut se déplacer lors de l'ouverture totale des rabats, de telle sorte qu'elle n'assure plus non plus l'étanchéité souhaitée.The variable-volume shoe shells have, at the anterior end of the flaps, a transverse slot formed between the transverse edge of the cut-out of the shell and the end of the flaps. In order to prevent snow and water from entering the shoe through this slit, it is usual to close this slit by means of a relatively soft piece of rubber. This rubber piece should always be tight when the shoe is closed. If the rubber part is relatively thick, this object is achieved, but the positioning of the rubber part is inconvenient. A thin piece of rubber is easier to install, but it does not always provide the desired seal. In addition, this rubber part can move when the flaps are fully opened, so that it also no longer provides the desired seal.

On connaît des chaussures dans lesquelles le rabat supérieur a été prolongé vers l'avant (CABER, Collection 86/87), mais seule la moitié de la fente est ainsi recouverte.Shoes are known in which the upper flap has been extended forward (CABER, Collection 86/87), but only half of the slit is thus covered.

Dans le modèle d'utilité japonais 4-45 522, il a été proposé d'assurer l'étanchéité de cette partie de la coque au moyen d'une pièce de couverture additionnelle fixée sur l'extrémité antérieure de la coque.In the Japanese utility model 4-45 522, it was proposed to seal this part of the hull by means of an additional cover piece fixed on the anterior end of the hull.

Dans le document EP-583 565 est en outre décrite une solution consistant à remplacer la pièce en caoutchouc habituelle par une plaque en matériau élastique s'étendant sous les deux rabats et fixée par une aile au rabat supérieur.In document EP-583,565 is also described a solution consisting in replacing the usual rubber part by a plate of elastic material extending under the two flaps and fixed by a wing to the upper flap.

La présente invention a pour but d'améliorer l'étanchéité de la coque à l'extrémité des rabats sans recourir à une pièce particulière additionnelle.The present invention aims to improve the tightness of the shell at the end of the flaps without resorting to an additional particular part.

La chaussure selon l'invention est caractérisée en ce que la partie recouvrant au moins l'extrémité antérieure du rabat inférieur est une partie de la chaussure participant à la fermeture et au serrage de la coque.The shoe according to the invention is characterized in that the part covering at least the front end of the lower flap is a part of the shoe participating in the closing and tightening of the shell.

Cette partie est constituée par une patte prolongeant l'extrémité du rabat supérieur ou par une extension latérale d'une sangle de fermeture et de serrage recouvrant, dans ce cas, également l'extrémité du rabat supérieur.This part is constituted by a tab extending the end of the upper flap or by a lateral extension of a closure and tightening strap covering, in this case, also the end of the upper flap.

Dans les chaussures munies d'une sangle de fermeture et de serrage, les deux solutions peuvent être utilisées simultanément, de telle sorte que l'étanchéité s'en trouve encore améliorée.In shoes with a closure and tightening strap, the two solutions can be used simultaneously, so that the seal is further improved.

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 partielle d'une chaussure de ski montrant une première forme d'exécution de l'invention.Figure 1 is a partial view of a shoe ski showing a first embodiment of the invention.

La figure 2 est une vue de détail de la figure 1.Figure 2 is a detail view of Figure 1.

La figure 3 est une vue partielle de côté d'une chaussure selon une seconde forme d'exécution.Figure 3 is a partial side view of a shoe according to a second embodiment.

La figure 4 est une vue partielle de face de cette même chaussure.Figure 4 is a partial front view of the same shoe.

La figure 5 est une vue partielle en perspective de cette même chaussure vue de l'arrière et du côté interne du pied.Figure 5 is a partial perspective view of the same shoe seen from the rear and the inner side of the foot.

Sur la figure 1 on reconnaît la partie avant d'une coque 1 d'une chaussure de ski. Cette coque 1 est du type à volume variable, c'est-à-dire qu'elle se ferme sur le pied et sur le cou-de-pied par deux rabats 2 et 3, le rabat 2 étant le rabat inférieur et le rabat 3 le rabat supérieur. Les rabats sont maintenus l'un sur l'autre et la coque est serrée au moyen de deux boucles 4 et 5. Dans leur partie supérieure non représentée, les rabats 2 et 3 sont recouverts par le collier de la chaussure.In Figure 1 we recognize the front part of a shell 1 of a ski boot. This shell 1 is of the variable volume type, that is to say that it closes on the foot and on the instep by two flaps 2 and 3, the flap 2 being the lower flap and the flap 3 the upper flap. The flaps are held one on the other and the shell is tightened by means of two loops 4 and 5. In their upper part, not shown, the flaps 2 and 3 are covered by the collar of the shoe.

Contrairement aux chaussures traditionnelles, l'extrémité du rabat inférieur 2 proche du bout de pied n'est pas formée par une fente transversale à la ligne médiane 6 de la coque, mais le bord latéral 7 du rabat inférieur 2, coïncidant ici avec la ligne médiane 6, est relié à l'origine 8 du rabat supérieur 3 par une découpe 9 de forme arrondie tangente au bord 7 et au bord frontal 10 du rabat supérieur 3. En outre, l'extrémité du rabat supérieur 3 est prolongée par une patte 11 recouvrant l'extrémité du rabat inférieur 2, en particulier la découpe 9. La patte 11 est en forme de palette et s'étend également latéralement au-delà du bord longitudinal du rabat supérieur 3. Seule une courte partie rectiligne incisée 12 de la coque, permettant une bonne ouverture du rabat supérieur 3, n'est pas recouverte. Cette partie est toutefois très courte et l'incision est suffisamment refermée en position fermée de la coque.Unlike traditional shoes, the end of the lower flap 2 close to the toe is not formed by a slit transverse to the center line 6 of the shell, but the lateral edge 7 of the lower flap 2, coinciding here with the line median 6, is connected to the origin 8 of the upper flap 3 by a cutout 9 of rounded shape tangent to the edge 7 and to the front edge 10 of the upper flap 3. In addition, the end of the upper flap 3 is extended by a tab 11 covering the end of the lower flap 2, in particular the cutout 9. The tab 11 is in the form of a pallet and also extends laterally beyond the longitudinal edge of the upper flap 3. Only a short straight incised part 12 of the shell, allowing good opening of the upper flap 3, is not covered. This part is however very short and the incision is sufficiently closed in the closed position of the shell.

On notera que dans le cas où le rabat inférieur 2 présenterait un bord frontal s'étendant de l'autre côté de la ligne médiane 6, la patte 11 recouvrirait également l'extrémité du rabat inférieure.Note that in the case where the lower flap 2 has a front edge extending from the other side of the center line 6, the tab 11 would also cover the end of the lower flap.

Dans la seconde forme d'exécution représentée aux figures 3 à 5, la coque 1 est munie, en lieu et place des boucles 4 et 5, de deux sangles 13 et 14 en matière plastique semi-rigide issues d'une bande commune 15 fixée à la semelle du côté interne du pied. Ces sangles sont équipées chacune d'une boucle dont on distingue le levier 16, respectivement 17 monté dans une découpe des sangles, ces boucles permettant d'accrocher et de tendre les sangles sur le côté externe de la coque 1. Ces boucles sont du type décrit dans le brevet CH 504 850. La sangle inférieure 14 est munie d'une extension latérale 18 s'étendant en direction de la pointe de la chaussure en épousant la forme de la coque et en recouvrant les extrémités des rabats 2 et 3. L'extrémité des rabats peut être exécutée de façon traditionnelle ou selon la première forme d'exécution.In the second embodiment shown in Figures 3 to 5, the shell 1 is provided, in place of the loops 4 and 5, with two straps 13 and 14 of semi-rigid plastic material from a common band 15 fixed to the sole of the inner side of the foot. These straps are each equipped with a loop of which there is a lever 16, respectively 17 mounted in a cutout of the straps, these loops allowing the straps to be hung and tightened on the external side of the shell 1. These loops are of the described in patent CH 504,850. The lower strap 14 is provided with a lateral extension 18 extending in the direction of the toe of the shoe by conforming to the shape of the shell and by covering the ends of the flaps 2 and 3. L he end of the flaps can be executed in the traditional way or according to the first embodiment.

Sur la figure 5, on distingue une partie du collier 19 articulée en 20 sur la coque 1.In FIG. 5, there is a part of the collar 19 articulated at 20 on the shell 1.
