Definitions
- the subject of the invention is a ski boot essentially consisting of a shell-shaped lower part with variable volume surrounding the foot and the heel and of a collar-shaped rod articulated on the shell, shell and collar being provided with closing and tightening means.
- the boot acts as an interface between the ski and the skier's leg. So that the reaction of the ski on the snow surface is transmitted to the leg immediately and precisely and, conversely, that the orders transmitted by the skier to the ski via the leg and the interface are also transmitted immediately and precisely, the foot and the bottom of the leg must be perfectly held by the boot, the sole of which is rigidly connected to the ski by the binding. The ideal would of course be that the shoe is one with the foot and the bottom of the leg.
- the upper of the boot should therefore meet two requirements which are not very compatible, namely, firstly, a high rigidity so as to transmit the forces from the leg to the ski as well as possible, and vice versa, and, secondly, a sufficient flexibility for its opening, so as to allow putting on and taking off, and its closing and tightening around the leg, as well as to allow bending of the leg.
- a compromise had to be adopted in order to satisfy these two requirements, this at the expense of the precision of the control of the skis.
- the position of the loop of the lower half-collar, arranged so as to ensure a diagonal tightening of the shoe along a diagonal passing through the instep and the heel, is such that during the bending of the leg, the half - lower collar immediately presses on the shell and, under the effect of the flexion which continues despite everything, this pressure on the shell, just below the instep, has the effect of causing a transverse swelling of the shell which reduces the holding of the foot and therefore the control of the ski.
- the diagonal tightening of the heel has become a myth which seems to have arisen with the appearance of the so-called rear entry shoes comprising a shell with fixed volume in which the support of the foot is ensured by a diagonal tightening internal to the by means of a shaped piece resting on the instep and pulled by a cable towards the heel.
- This myth is such that the buyer of a pair ski boots, when trying on a pair of boots, try to lift the heel to control the foot.
- the diagonal tightening of the very punctual heel does not correspond to the modern technique of skiing for which tightening well distributed around the foot is preferable.
- the present invention aims to improve the hold of the lower leg by the collar constituting the upper of the shoe without it being necessary to increase the apparent rigidity of the collar, that is to say the rigidity that the user can see when putting on and taking off, and without the possibility of forward bending being reduced relative to a conventional collar and without the phenomenon of swelling being favored.
- the ski boot according to the invention is characterized in that the collar comprises a lower leg belt surrounding the shell above the articulation of the collar on the shell and provided with a closure loop and clamping, the clamping direction of which passes over said articulation.
- This belt therefore surrounds and tightens the bottom of the leg at approximately the same height as the lower loop of a traditional collar, preferably slightly lower, and presses the foot against the sole.
- the belt may consist of an additional piece and, for its maintenance, it is preferably crossed by the axes of articulation of the rod on the shell, but it could be held in place by other means.
- the belt could constitute a part of the collar, in particular the lower part of the collar, in an embodiment of the collar in two materials of different rigidity obtained by a bi-injection process.
- the tightening direction of the belt buckle is preferably slightly inclined towards the rear so that the tightening force has a component towards the sole.
- This component acts with a reaction component due to the enveloping shape of the rear of the shell, these two components contributing to press the heel against the sole of the shoe.
- Figure 1 shows a shoe in the closed position seen from the outside of the foot.
- Figure 2 shows the lower leg belt.
- the shoe shown comprises a variable-volume shell 1 comprising the sole and surrounding the foot and the heel, shell on which is mounted a rod consisting of a collar 2 articulated on the shell 1 in a known manner at two points located approximately at the height malleoli, one of these joints 3 being visible in the drawing.
- This articulation is constituted by a metallic axis constituted for example by a rivet.
- the shell 1 is provided with two tightening loops 4 and 5, the loop 5 having in this case a particular shape defining an extension extending forward.
- the collar 2 is provided with a closure and tightening loop 6 situated just below its upper end, which is furthermore provided with a strap 7 with VELCRO closure (registered trademark) coming to bear at the front on a tongue 8 of an inner comfort shoe 9 in order to ensure, in known manner, the tibial support.
- a closure and tightening loop 6 situated just below its upper end, which is furthermore provided with a strap 7 with VELCRO closure (registered trademark) coming to bear at the front on a tongue 8 of an inner comfort shoe 9 in order to ensure, in known manner, the tibial support.
- the shoe is also provided with a belt 10 surrounding the collar 2 just above its articulation 3 on the shell the belt 10 therefore also surrounds the shell.
- the belt 10 extends in an area located approximately 4 cm above the center of the joint 3.
- This belt 10 is provided with a closure and tightening loop 11 similar to the loop 6 and the clamping direction of which passes over the joint 3.
- the clamping direction is slightly inclined towards the rear. In the example shown, this inclination is approximately 8 °. It is preferably included in 5 ° and 15 °.
- the belt 10 is crossed by the joints 3 and it is therefore held on the shell 1 and the collar 2 by these joints.
- the belt 10 is shown alone in FIG. 2. It can be seen in this figure that it is provided with two circular holes 12 and 13 for the passage of the joints of the collar 2 on the shell 1.
- the belt 10 exerts a tightening force on the front of the leg with a force F slightly inclined towards the rear with an inclination of approximately 8 °. This force is broken down into a force F1 transverse to the collar and a force F2 directed towards the sole. Due to the enveloping shape of the rear of the shell, the clamping force generates a reaction with an F3 component directed obliquely towards the sole. The components F2 and F3 tend to press the heel against the sole.
- the belt 10 therefore fully performs its function of improving the support of the lower leg while contributing to the maintenance, perfectly sufficient, of the heel in the shoe.
- the belt 10 could have a different inclination from the inclination shown. This inclination will preferably be between 5 ° and 15 °. The belt 10 could however be horizontal and still perform its function of holding the lower leg.
- the lower leg belt must not necessarily be crossed by the joints of the collar on the shell. Indeed, the belt could be retained vertically on the collar 2 by other means, for example at the rear by a rivet or a lug or laterally by a groove or stops.
- the lower leg belt could be used in combination with a reinforcing strip 14 passing through the joints of the collar, under the belt 10, behind the shell and extending obliquely forward on each side of the shell, towards the sole.
- a reinforcing strip 14 passing through the joints of the collar, under the belt 10, behind the shell and extending obliquely forward on each side of the shell, towards the sole.
- a strip 14 made of rigid plastic, opposes the swelling of the shell caused by the pressure of the collar 2 on the shell during the bending of the leg.
- Such a band is described in patent EP 0 380 444 in the name of the applicant.
- the belt could be a part of the collar in a bi-material embodiment.
- the belt will advantageously constitute the entire lower part of the collar surrounding the upper part of the shell and crossed by the axes of articulation of the collar on the shell.

Abstract
Description
L'invention a pour objet une chaussure de ski constituée essentiellement d'une partie inférieure en forme de coque à volume variable entourant le pied et le talon et d'une tige en forme de collier articulé sur la coque, coque et collier étant munis de moyen de fermeture et de serrage.The subject of the invention is a ski boot essentially consisting of a shell-shaped lower part with variable volume surrounding the foot and the heel and of a collar-shaped rod articulated on the shell, shell and collar being provided with closing and tightening means.
Ce type de chaussure bien connu est décrit par exemple dans les brevets EP 0 358 599, EP 0 371 915 et EP 0 379 836.This well-known type of shoe is described, for example, in patents EP 0 358 599, EP 0 371 915 and EP 0 379 836.
Lors de la pratique du ski, la chaussure joue en quelque sorte le rôle d'une interface entre le ski et la jambe du skieur. Afin que la réaction du ski sur la surface de la neige soit transmise à la jambe de façon immédiate et précise et, inversement, que les ordres transmis par le skieur au ski par l'intermédiaire de la jambe et de l'interface soit également transmis de façon immédiate et précise, le pied et le bas de la jambe doivent être parfaitement tenus par la chaussure dont la semelle, quant à elle est rigidement reliée au ski par la fixation. L'idéal serait bien entendu que la chaussure fasse corps avec le pied et le bas de la jambe. La tige de la chaussure devrait dès lors satisfaire deux exigences peu compatibles, à savoir, d'une part, une grande rigidité de manière à transmettre le mieux possible les efforts de la jambe au ski et inversement, et, d'autre part, une souplesse suffisante pour son ouverture, de manière à permettre le chaussage et le déchaussage, et sa fermeture et son serrage autour de la jambe, ainsi que pour permettre la flexion de la jambe. Pour les colliers réalisés généralement en une pièce, un compromis a dû être adopté de manière à satisfaire ces deux exigences, ceci au dépens de la précision du contrôle des skis.When skiing, the boot acts as an interface between the ski and the skier's leg. So that the reaction of the ski on the snow surface is transmitted to the leg immediately and precisely and, conversely, that the orders transmitted by the skier to the ski via the leg and the interface are also transmitted immediately and precisely, the foot and the bottom of the leg must be perfectly held by the boot, the sole of which is rigidly connected to the ski by the binding. The ideal would of course be that the shoe is one with the foot and the bottom of the leg. The upper of the boot should therefore meet two requirements which are not very compatible, namely, firstly, a high rigidity so as to transmit the forces from the leg to the ski as well as possible, and vice versa, and, secondly, a sufficient flexibility for its opening, so as to allow putting on and taking off, and its closing and tightening around the leg, as well as to allow bending of the leg. For the collars generally made in one piece, a compromise had to be adopted in order to satisfy these two requirements, this at the expense of the precision of the control of the skis.
En compétition, cette précision a rapidement été jugée insuffisante et l'on a cherché des moyens d'améliorer celle-ci. Ainsi, sous la marque MUNARI a été proposée en 1980 une chaussure dont le collier est réalisé en trois parties, à savoir une languette avant s'étendant également sur la coque, un demi-collier inférieur articulé sur la coque et un demi-collier supérieur entourant le bas de jambe et relié à l'arrière au demi-collier inférieur. Le demi-collier inférieur est muni d'une boucle passant sur le cou-de-pied et assurant un serrage diagonal en direction du talon. La réalisation du collier en trois parties permet d'avoir des parties de rigidité différentes, le collier inférieur pouvant être plus rigide que le collier supérieur sans trop gêner l'ouverture de la tige pour le chaussage et le déchaussage. La position de la boucle du demi-collier inférieur, disposée de manière à assurer un serrage diagonal de la chaussure selon une diagonale passant par le cou-de-pied et le talon, est telle que lors de la flexion de la jambe, le demi-collier inférieur presse immédiatement sur la coque et, sous l'effet de la flexion qui se poursuit malgré tout, cette pression sur la coque, juste en-dessous du cou-de-pied, a pour effet de provoquer un gonflement transversal de la coque qui réduit la tenue du pied et par conséquent le contrôle du ski.In competition, this precision was quickly deemed insufficient and we looked for ways to improve it. Thus, under the MUNARI brand, a shoe was proposed in 1980, the collar of which is produced in three parts, namely a front tongue also extending over the shell, a lower half-collar articulated on the shell and an upper half-collar. surrounding the lower leg and connected at the rear to the lower half-collar. The lower half-collar is provided with a loop passing over the instep and ensuring diagonal tightening towards the heel. The production of the collar in three parts makes it possible to have parts of different rigidity, the lower collar being able to be more rigid than the upper collar without too much hindering the opening of the upper for putting on and taking off. The position of the loop of the lower half-collar, arranged so as to ensure a diagonal tightening of the shoe along a diagonal passing through the instep and the heel, is such that during the bending of the leg, the half - lower collar immediately presses on the shell and, under the effect of the flexion which continues despite everything, this pressure on the shell, just below the instep, has the effect of causing a transverse swelling of the shell which reduces the holding of the foot and therefore the control of the ski.
Il convient de relever ici que le serrage diagonal du talon est devenu un mythe qui paraît avoir pris naissance avec l'apparition des chaussures dites à entrée arrière comportant une coque à volume fixe dans laquelle le maintien du pied est assuré par un serrage diagonal interne au moyen d'une pièce de forme s'appuyant sur le cou-de-pied et tirée par un câble en direction du talon. Ce mythe est tel que l'acheteur d'une paire de chaussures de ski, lorsqu'il essaie une paire de chaussures, essaie de soulever le talon afin de contrôler la tenue du pied. Or, le serrage diagonal du talon très ponctuel ne correspond pas à la technique moderne du ski pour laquelle un serrage bien réparti autour du pied s'avère préférable.It should be noted here that the diagonal tightening of the heel has become a myth which seems to have arisen with the appearance of the so-called rear entry shoes comprising a shell with fixed volume in which the support of the foot is ensured by a diagonal tightening internal to the by means of a shaped piece resting on the instep and pulled by a cable towards the heel. This myth is such that the buyer of a pair ski boots, when trying on a pair of boots, try to lift the heel to control the foot. However, the diagonal tightening of the very punctual heel does not correspond to the modern technique of skiing for which tightening well distributed around the foot is preferable.
Sous la marque DOLOMITE on connaît par ailleurs une chaussure de 1983 dont la tige est constituée d'un collier entourant le devant de la jambe sensiblement au-dessus du cou-de-pied et dont la coque à volume variable est munie d'une ceinture passant, d'une part, sur le cou-de-pied et, d'autre part, en arrière de la coque au-dessus du talon et sous la coque. Cette ceinture permet d'obtenir un bon serrage diagonal de la coque en direction du talon, mais sa position basse n'a pas d'influence sur la tenue au niveau du bas de la jambe. En outre, l'articulation du collier se trouve déportée vers le haut de telle sorte qu'elle ne correspond plus du tout avec l'articulation naturelle de la jambe au niveau des malléoles.Under the DOLOMITE brand, there is also known a shoe from 1983, the upper of which consists of a collar surrounding the front of the leg substantially above the instep and the variable-volume shell of which is provided with a belt. passing, on the one hand, on the instep and, on the other hand, behind the hull above the heel and under the hull. This belt provides good diagonal tightening of the shell towards the heel, but its low position has no influence on the hold at the bottom of the leg. In addition, the articulation of the collar is offset upwards so that it no longer corresponds at all with the natural articulation of the leg at the level of the malleoli.
La présente invention a pour but d'améliorer la tenue du bas de jambe par le collier constituant la tige de la chaussure sans qu'il soit nécessaire d'augmenter la rigidité apparente du collier, c'est-à-dire la rigidité que l'utilisateur peut constater lors du chaussage et du déchaussage, et sans que la possibilité de flexion vers l'avant soit réduite relativement à un collier conventionnel et sans que le phénomène de gonflement soit favorisé.The present invention aims to improve the hold of the lower leg by the collar constituting the upper of the shoe without it being necessary to increase the apparent rigidity of the collar, that is to say the rigidity that the user can see when putting on and taking off, and without the possibility of forward bending being reduced relative to a conventional collar and without the phenomenon of swelling being favored.
La chaussure de ski selon l'invention est caractérisée en ce que le collier comprend une ceinture de bas de jambe entourant la coque au-dessus de l'articulation du collier sur la coque et munie d'une boucle de fermeture et de serrage dont la direction de serrage passe au-dessus de ladite articulation.The ski boot according to the invention is characterized in that the collar comprises a lower leg belt surrounding the shell above the articulation of the collar on the shell and provided with a closure loop and clamping, the clamping direction of which passes over said articulation.
Cette ceinture entoure et serre donc le bas de la jambe approximativement à la même hauteur que la boucle inférieure d'un collier traditionnel, de préférence légèrement plus bas, et plaque le pied contre la semelle.This belt therefore surrounds and tightens the bottom of the leg at approximately the same height as the lower loop of a traditional collar, preferably slightly lower, and presses the foot against the sole.
La ceinture peut être constituée d'une pièce additionnelle et, pour son maintien, elle est de préférence traversée par les axes d'articulation de la tige sur la coque, mais elle pourrait être maintenue en place par d'autres moyens.The belt may consist of an additional piece and, for its maintenance, it is preferably crossed by the axes of articulation of the rod on the shell, but it could be held in place by other means.
La ceinture pourrait constituer une partie du collier, en particulier la partie inférieure du collier, dans une réalisation du collier en deux matériaux de rigidité différente obtenue par un procédé de bi-injection.The belt could constitute a part of the collar, in particular the lower part of the collar, in an embodiment of the collar in two materials of different rigidity obtained by a bi-injection process.
En outre, la direction de serrage de la boucle de la ceinture est de préférence légèrement inclinée vers l'arrière de telle manière que la force de serrage présente une composante en direction de la semelle. Cette composante agit avec une composante réactionnelle due à la forme enveloppante de l'arrière de la coque, ces deux composantes contribuant à plaquer le talon contre la semelle de la chaussure.In addition, the tightening direction of the belt buckle is preferably slightly inclined towards the rear so that the tightening force has a component towards the sole. This component acts with a reaction component due to the enveloping shape of the rear of the shell, these two components contributing to press the heel against the sole of the shoe.
Le dessin annexé représente, à titre d'exemple, une forme d'exécution de l'invention.The accompanying drawing shows, by way of example, an embodiment of the invention.
La figure 1 représente une chaussure en position fermée vue du côté extérieur du pied.Figure 1 shows a shoe in the closed position seen from the outside of the foot.
La figure 2 représente la ceinture de bas de jambe.Figure 2 shows the lower leg belt.
La chaussure représentée comprend une coque à volume variable 1 comprenant la semelle et entourant le pied et le talon, coque sur laquelle est montée une tige constituée d'un collier 2 articulé sur la coque 1 de manière connue en deux points situés approximativement à la hauteur des malléoles, l'une de ces articulations 3 étant visible sur le dessin. Cette articulation est constituée par un axe métallique constitué par exemple d'un rivet. La coque 1 est munie de deux boucles de serrage 4 et 5, la boucle 5 ayant en l'occurrence une forme particulière définissant un prolongement s'étendant vers l'avant. Le collier 2 est muni d'une boucle de fermeture et de serrage 6 située juste en dessous de son extrémité supérieure, laquelle est en outre munie d'une sangle 7 à fermeture VELCRO (marque déposée) venant s'appuyer à l'avant sur une languette 8 d'un chausson intérieur de confort 9 afin d'assurer, de manière connue, l'appui tibial.The shoe shown comprises a variable-
La chaussure est en outre munie d'une ceinture 10 entourant le collier 2 juste au-dessus de son articulation 3 sur la coque la ceinture 10 entoure donc également la coque. Dans l'exemple représenté, la ceinture 10 s'étend dans une zone située à environ 4 cm au-dessus du centre de l'articulation 3. Cette ceinture 10 est munie d'une boucle de fermeture et de serrage 11 analogue à la boucle 6 et dont la direction de serrage passe au-dessus de l'articulation 3. La direction de serrage est légèrement inclinée vers l'arrière. Dans l'exemple représenté cette inclinaison est d'environ 8°. Elle est de préférence comprise en 5° et 15°. La ceinture 10 est traversée par les articulations 3 et elle est donc maintenue sur la coque 1 et le collier 2 par ces articulations.The shoe is also provided with a
La ceinture 10 est représentée seule à la figure 2. On voit sur cette figure qu'elle est munie de deux trous circulaires 12 et 13 pour le passage des articulations du collier 2 sur la coque 1.The
La ceinture 10 exerce une force de serrage sur le devant de la jambe avec une force F légèrement inclinée vers l'arrière avec une inclinaison d'environ 8°. Cette force se décompose en une force F1 transversale au collier et une force F2 dirigée en direction de la semelle. En raison de la forme enveloppante de l'arrière de la coque, la force de serrage engendre une réaction présentant une composante F3 dirigée obliquement en direction de la semelle. Les composantes F2 et F3 ont tendance à plaquer le talon contre la semelle. La ceinture 10 assure dès lors pleinement sa fonction d'amélioration du maintien du bas de jambe tout en contribuant au maintien, parfaitement suffisant, du talon dans la chaussure.The
La ceinture 10 pourrait présenter une inclinaison différente de l'inclinaison représentée. Cette inclinaison sera de préférence comprise entre 5° et 15°. La ceinture 10 pourrait cependant être horizontale et assurer encore sa fonction de maintien du bas de jambe.The
La ceinture de bas de jambe ne doit pas être impérativement traversée par les articulations du collier sur la coque. En effet, la ceinture pourrait être retenue verticalement sur le collier 2 par d'autres moyens, par exemple à l'arrière par un rivet ou un ergot ou latéralement par une gorge ou des butées.The lower leg belt must not necessarily be crossed by the joints of the collar on the shell. Indeed, the belt could be retained vertically on the
La ceinture de bas de jambe pourrait être utilisée en combinaison avec une bande de renforcement 14 passant par les articulations du collier, sous la ceinture 10, derrière la coque et s'étendant obliquement vers l'avant de chaque côté de la coque, en direction de la semelle. Une telle bande 14, réalisée en un plastique rigide, s'oppose au gonflement de la coque provoqué par la pression du collier 2 sur la coque lors de la flexion de la jambe. Une telle bande est décrite dans le brevet EP 0 380 444 au nom du demandeur.The lower leg belt could be used in combination with a
Comme indiqué plus haut, la ceinture pourrait être une partie du collier dans une réalisation bi-matière. Dans ce cas, la ceinture constituera avantageusement toute la partie inférieure du collier entourant la partie supérieure de la coque et traversée par les axes d'articulation du collier sur la coque.As indicated above, the belt could be a part of the collar in a bi-material embodiment. In this case, the belt will advantageously constitute the entire lower part of the collar surrounding the upper part of the shell and crossed by the axes of articulation of the collar on the shell.
