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 made up basically a lower shaped variable volume shell surrounding the foot and heel and a collar-shaped rod hinged on the shell, shell and collar being provided with closure means and tightening.

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 plays in some way so the role of 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 so immediate and precise and, conversely, that orders transmitted by the skier to the ski through the leg and interface is also passed from immediate and precise, the foot and the bottom of the leg should be perfectly held by the shoe the sole of which is rigidly connected to the ski by binding. Ideally, of course, the shoe becomes one with the foot and the bottom of the leg. The upper of the shoe should therefore satisfy two inconsistent requirements, namely, a apart, great rigidity so as to transmit the the efforts of the leg when skiing as well as possible, and, on the other hand, sufficient flexibility to its opening, so as to allow putting on and heaving, and its closing and tightening around of the leg, as well as to allow the flexion of the leg. For necklaces generally made in one piece, a compromise had to be adopted in order to satisfy these two requirements, at the expense of precision ski control.

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 judged insufficient and we looked for ways to improve this one. Thus, under the brand MUNARI has been proposed in 1980 a shoe whose collar is made in three parts, namely a front tongue extending also on the hull, an articulated lower half-collar on the shell and an upper half-collar surrounding the lower leg and connected at the back to the half-collar inferior. The lower half-collar is provided a loop passing over the instep and ensuring a diagonal tightening towards the heel. The realization three-part necklace allows for parts of different stiffness, the lower collar being able be more rigid than the upper collar without interfering too much the opening of the upper for putting on and taking off. The position of the loop of the lower half-collar, arranged to provide 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 lower half-clamp presses immediately on the hull and, under the effect of the bending which continues despite everything, this pressure on the shell, just below the instep, has the effect cause transverse hull swelling which reduces foot hold and therefore control ski.

Il convient de relever ici que le serrage diagonal du talon est devenu un mythe qui paraít 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 that appears to have originated with the appearance of so-called entry shoes rear with a fixed volume shell in which foot support is ensured by diagonal tightening internal by means of a shaped part resting on the instep and pulled by a cable towards heel. This myth is such that the buyer of a pair ski boots, when trying on a pair of shoes, try to lift your heel to control foot hold. Now, the diagonal tightening of the heel very punctual does not correspond to modern technique ski for which tightening is well distributed around the foot is preferable.

Sous la marque DOLOMITE on connaít 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 brand DOLOMITE we also know a shoe from 1983 whose upper consists of a necklace surrounding the front of the leg substantially above instep and whose variable volume shell 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 shell. This belt provides good diagonal tightening of the shell in direction of the heel, but its low position does not of influence on the hold at the lower leg. In addition, the articulation of the collar is offset upwards so that it no longer fits at all with the natural leg joint 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 holding lower leg by the collar constituting the rod the shoe without the need to increase the apparent stiffness of the collar, i.e. the stiffness that the user can see when putting on and heaving, and without the possibility of bending forward be reduced relative to a collar conventional and without the phenomenon of swelling be 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 juste au-dessus de ladite articulation.The ski boot according to the invention is characterized in that the collar includes a bottom sash leg surrounding the shell above the joint of the collar on the shell and fitted with a closure loop and tightening whose tightening direction goes just above of said joint.

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 surrounds and therefore tightens the lower leg approximately the same height as the lower loop a traditional necklace, preferably slightly lower, and press 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 can consist of an additional piece and, for its maintenance, it is preferably crossed by the articulation axes of the rod on the shell, but it could be held in place by other ways.

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 be part of the necklace, especially the lower part of the collar, in an embodiment of the necklace in two stiffness materials different 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 buckle of the belt is preferably slightly inclined towards the rear so that the clamping force is present a component towards the sole. This component acts with a reaction component due to the enveloping shape of the back of the hull, these two components helping 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.

  • La figure 1 représente une chaussure en position fermée vue du côté extérieur du pied.
  • La figure 2 représente la ceinture de bas de jambe.
    • The accompanying drawing shows, by way of example, an embodiment of the invention.
  • Figure 1 shows a shoe in the closed position seen from the outside of the foot.
  • 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 represented comprises a volume shell variable 1 including the sole and surrounding the foot and the heel, shell on which a rod is mounted consisting of a collar 2 articulated on the shell 1 of known manner at two points approximately at the level of the malleoli, one of these joints 3 being visible in the drawing. This joint is constituted by a metallic axis constituted for example a rivet. The shell 1 is provided with two loops of tightening 4 and 5, the loop 5 having in this case a particular shape defining a extending extension forward. The collar 2 is provided with a buckle closing and tightening 6 located just below its upper end, which is further provided a strap 7 with VELCRO closure (registered trademark) coming lean on the front on a tab 8 of a inner comfort liner 9 to ensure, so known, tibial support.

    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 further provided with a belt 10 surrounding the collar 2 just above its joint 3 on the hull the belt 10 therefore also surrounds shell. In the example shown, the belt 10 extends into an area about 4 cm above from the center of the joint 3. This belt 10 has a closing and tightening loop 11 similar to loop 6 and whose tightening direction passes over joint 3. The direction of tightening is tilted slightly backwards. In the example shown this tilt is about 8 °. It is preferably included in 5 ° and 15 °. The belt 10 is crossed by joints 3 and it is therefore held on the shell 1 and the collar 2 by these joints.

    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 belt 10 is shown alone in FIG. 2. We see in this figure that it has two holes circulars 12 and 13 for the passage of joints of the collar 2 on the shell 1.

    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.Belt 10 exerts a clamping force on the front of the leg with a slightly inclined force F backwards with an inclination of about 8 °. This force breaks down into a force F1 transverse to the collar and a force F2 directed towards the sole. Due to the enveloping shape of the back of the shell, the clamping force generates a reaction having a component F3 directed obliquely in the direction of the sole. The components F2 and F3 have tendency to press the heel against the sole. The belt 10 therefore fully performs its improvement function support of the lower leg while contributing to maintain, perfectly sufficient, the heel in the shoe.

    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 belt 10 could have a different inclination of the inclination shown. This tilt will preferably be between 5 ° and 15 °. The belt 10 could however be horizontal and ensure still its function of maintaining the lower leg.

    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 does not have to be crossed by the joints of the collar on shell. Indeed, the belt could be retained vertically on the collar 2 by other means, by example at the back by a rivet or a lug or laterally by a groove or stops.

    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 reinforcing strip 14 passing by the joints of the collar, under the belt 10, behind the hull and extending obliquely towards the front of each side of the hull, towards the sole. Such a strip 14, made of a plastic rigid, 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 EP 0 380 444 in the name of the applicant.

    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 necklace in a bi-material realization. In in this case, the belt will advantageously constitute any the lower part of the collar surrounding the upper part of the hull and crossed by the articulation axes of the collar on the shell.
