Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an internal ventilation device for footwear of the city or sport type allowing in particular the ventilation of the interior of the shoe as well as the evacuation of sweat.
  • Patent FR-B-2,472,354 proposed to limit this discomfort by proposing an article of footwear comprising compressible and deformable pneumatic chambers in the sole in communication with pneumatic chambers fitting the rear part of the foot.
  • this type of article considerably reduces the discomfort linked to heating by creating a certain flexibility of the footwear, it does not solve the problem linked to sweating itself. It is therefore advisable to propose a means making it possible to reduce both the inconveniences linked to this overheating but also those linked to sweating, by providing ventilation or air circulation inside the footwear.
  • Document FR-A-1,019,374 proposes a boot provided with a pocket which extends along the upper and is interposed between the insole and the sole. At the top of the upper, the pocket is provided with an air intake orifice and at the end of the pocket under the arch, it has one or more perforations towards the inside of the boot through which the air is evacuated during walking. However, when fitting the heel, air can either be sent to the arch of the foot or returned to the top of the upper. The air circulation is therefore random and therefore not very efficient.
  • Document US-A-2,741,038 proposes the same principle but by introducing valves into the pocket in order to circulate the air in one direction. Such an embodiment offers very limited walking comfort.
  • GB-A-2,189,679 describes a sole molded so as to constitute a pump, the air circulating in a direction according to the principle of compression / depression linked to the movement of movement thanks to valves provided in this sole.
  • the realization of such a sole is difficult to implement work and there is a risk of the upper part of the sole being crushed inside the recess made in the sole after a certain period of use.
  • European patent application EP-A-0,319,968 describes, for its part, a sole comprising an internal recess opened by an air intake orifice at the heel and provided with perforations under the arch of the foot. During the fitting of the heel, the air intake orifice is closed by compression and the air is evacuated towards the perforations and from there towards the inside of the footwear. Such a sole has the drawback of risking sagging of the upper part of the sole in the recess during use over time.
  • Document FR-A-2,695,303 proposes an integrated air circulation device at the heel of a sole, consisting of a chamber comprising a compressible upper wall, a non-return valve for air intake at the heel level and an air evacuation channel leading towards the front of the sole. Despite the non-return valve, when the compression is released under the arch of the arch, nothing prevents the evacuated air from returning to said compressible chamber via the evacuation channel and thus preventing an effective circulation of air from the heel towards the arch.
  • WO-A-93/07774 proposes a sole which comprises an air intake orifice at the level of the arch of the foot, the air then being introduced, by means of a non-return valve into a cavity formed in the heel and escaping outward via a non-return valve by a conduit extending along the upper of the shoe.
  • a sole which comprises an air intake orifice at the level of the arch of the foot, the air then being introduced, by means of a non-return valve into a cavity formed in the heel and escaping outward via a non-return valve by a conduit extending along the upper of the shoe.
  • the present invention provides a ventilation device independent of the footwear consisting of a first or wear sole and a rod, which allows one-way air circulation from the heel of the shoe. he article of footwear on the front part thereof which is easy and economical to make and assemble.
  • the ventilation device is characterized in that it comprises a compressible chamber made of flexible and waterproof material consisting of a reservoir provided with a cover, said cover comprising membranes forming a non-return valve allowing entry and the evacuation of air into the tank in a single direction of circulation, and an inner sole on which said compressible chamber is built-in, said inner sole comprising on one side a network of air circulation channels in communication with the compressible chamber and being provided with perforations communicating said channels with the opposite face of the insole.
  • the cover has on its inner face a recess and a diametrically opposite orifice and on its outer face a recess in which ends the orifice of the inner face and an orifice which ends in the recess on the outside, the membranes forming a non-return valve being placed in said recesses in order to promote a single possible direction of air circulation.
  • this device is introduced into an article of footwear whose outsole has a cavity capable of accommodating the compressible chamber.
  • said compressible chamber When the compressible chamber is placed in the cavity of the outsole, said compressible chamber advantageously has dimensions such that it must protrude slightly above the upper face of the outsole. Said compressible chamber being embedded in the insole, the latter is therefore also slightly raised above the heel area of the outsole and therefore does not rest completely on the sole. wear.
  • the compressible chamber undergoes a deformation of the walls of its reservoir under the effect of the compression exerted by the foot on the insole which comes to rest completely on the upper face.
  • an abrasion-resistant pad placed under the heel of the outsole slightly protruding from the surface of this heel in contact with the ground, contributes at the same time to the compression of the chamber in its lower part.
  • the compressed air then tends to escape from the compressible chamber and exerts pressure on the diaphragm forming a valve, at least one of which is mobile and allows the evacuation of the air.
  • the outer face of the cover of the compressible chamber advantageously has recesses on its edges which connect the air inlet and outlet orifices in the compressible chamber with the network of pipes present on one face of the inner sole.
  • the air expelled from the compressible chamber is evacuated towards the front of the insole by the circulation channels then, during the compression of the front part of the outsole and of the insole, the air is evacuated to the inside front part of the footwear.
  • the air cannot return to the compressible chamber and is therefore expelled entirely towards the inside of the footwear.
  • An air circulation device has therefore been produced in a simple design and which does not require a particular and complicated shape of the outsole as was the case in the prior art.
  • the outsole may present, it is just necessary that the latter have on its upper face an open cavity for receiving the tank of the ventilation device.
  • the invention also relates to an article of footwear consisting of a outsole to which a rod is fixed by any means known per se, characterized in that said outsole has on its upper face, at the heel, a cavity open suitable for accommodating a ventilation device consisting of a compressible chamber provided with non-return valves and embedded in an insole comprising, on its face facing the outsole, a network of pipes in communication with the compressible chamber and provided with perforations opening onto the opposite surface of the insole.
  • the invention also relates to a method of manufacturing such footwear comprising this ventilation device.
  • a compressible chamber 1 of the device according to the invention preferably of oval cross section, comprises a reservoir 2 on which a cover 3 fits and which has a tongue 2 ', horizontal or oblique (see FIG. 9), at one of its ends.
  • This cover 3 has a groove 4 at its periphery in which is housed the upper rim 5 of the reservoir 2 of the compressible chamber 1 so as to obtain a tight closure.
  • the cover 3 On its outer face E, the cover 3 has a recess 6 and an orifice 7 preferably located diametrically opposite. On its inner face I, the cover 3 has a recess 8 in which the orifice 7 ends, while it has an orifice 9 diametrically opposite the recess 8 and which ends in the recess 6.
  • the recesses 6 and 8 are made so as to respectively accommodate membranes forming a valve 10 and 11 which admit only one direction of air circulation respectively.
  • the orifices 7 and 9 ending in the recesses 6 and 8 are closed by the membranes forming a valve 10 and 11.
  • the air can be evacuated from the compressible chamber 1 only by means of the valve 11 which can be moved under the effect of an air push due to compression of the chamber compressible 1.
  • the air is admissible in said chamber only through the valve 10 displaced by the air entering the tank 2 when the pressure is released. There is thus thus a single direction of entry and exit of the air into the chamber 1.
  • the cover 3 also has recesses 12 and 13 on its outer face.
  • the recess 12 is located between the edge of the cover 3 and the orifice 7 while the recess 13 extends from the recess 6 towards the edge of the cover 3.
  • These recesses 12, 13 provide air passages when the compressible chamber 1 is fitted on the insole 14.
  • the sole 14 has, on its underside, facing the outsole during fitting into a footwear item, a network of pipes 15 which allow the air coming from the compressible chamber 1 to circulate under the insole 14. In places, said sole 14 has perforations 16 which allow air to escape towards the interior of the article of footwear through said sole 14.
  • the rear of the sole 14 has a cavity 17 in which the compressible chamber 1 is built-in.
  • the ventilation device according to the invention constituted by the compressible chamber 1 and the insole 14, is introduced into an article of footwear 19 consisting of a first wear sole 20 to which is fixed by any means known per se a rod 21.
  • the outsole 20 has on its upper face a cavity 22 in which is housed the compressible chamber 1.
  • the dimensions of the compressible chamber 1 are such that the sole 14 on which it is embedded is not fully supported on the sole wear 20.
  • a pad 23 made of a material having a high abrasion resistance is disposed on the underside of the outsole 20, at the heel and facing the cavity 22, slightly protruding with respect to the surface of the sole 20. This increases the impact force of the heel when walking which allows to exert a compression on the lower part of the compressible chamber 1.
  • the air contained in said compressible chamber 1 escapes, under the pressure thus exerted, by the valve 10 towards the network of pipes 15 of the insole 14.
  • the air escapes through the perforations 16 towards the inside of the footwear.
  • the pressure being released on the heel the walls of the compressible chamber 1 are put back in place and the chamber 1 admits, again an air inlet by means of the valve 11, the air being then collected at the heel in the footwear.
  • the tongue 2 ′ made of flexible material, present at the end of the reservoir 2 of the compressible chamber 1 can be produced so as to be oblique so that when the compressible chamber is introduced into the cavity 22 of the sole d 'wear 20, the end of said tongue 2' rests on the outsole 20 as shown in FIG. 9.
  • the invention also relates to a manufacturing method which uses a mounting form of the type shown in FIG. 10a and which includes a protrusion under the heel in order to produce a outsole 20 having a cavity 22.
  • This form is preferably used for an assembly of the so-called "slip" type, the first assembly having pre-cut slots so as to allow the protuberance of the form to pass, as can be seen in FIG. 10b.
  • the outsole 20 obtained After injection, the outsole 20 obtained has the cavity 22 into which the compressible chamber 1 can be inserted.
