Definitions

  • the invention relates to the field of board sports, especially on water and on snow. It relates more specifically to a shoe intended for the practice of snowboarding or downhill skiing. In what follows, the invention will be described in more detail in its application to snowboarding, although it is immediately transposable for the practice of alpine skiing.
  • the oldest shoes used to practice surfing are derived from those used for downhill skiing, that is to say having a rigid shell, allowing a limited inclination of the leg forward.
  • These shoes fit on bindings comprising two elements, namely a fixed stirrup in which the heel of the shoe comes to be embedded, and a front stop articulated in the shape of a stirrup, capable of hooking the front portion of the point of the shoe.
  • this type of shoe proves to be too rigid, in particular in disciplines requiring large angulations of the tibia relative to the foot, such as the practice in "half-pipes".
  • this type of shoe proves poorly suited for walking.
  • a third type of binding is known, associating a stud fixed on the board and which cooperates with complementary arrangements, advantageously retractable, integral with the shoe.
  • a relatively rigid boot either close to a traditional ski boot, or having a sole made of hard material and a rigid rear rod to allow the rear supports.
  • a boot type surf boot inside which a shell is inserted, interposed between the outer upper and the inner liner.
  • This shell comprises a sole intended to receive the sole of the foot of the user and a rear gutter intended to grip the back of the bottom of the leg of the user up to the height of the bottom of the calf.
  • This gutter is articulated on the rear rising part of the sole so as to allow the transverse inclination of this gutter.
  • this solution is not entirely satisfactory in the sense that the intermediate shell is simply placed inside the rod and is in no way rigidly connected to the board. The transmission of forces from the binding is therefore done through the straps for attaching the boot and the flexible sole.
  • the invention overcomes these drawbacks.
  • the problem which the invention proposes to solve is the use of a shoe which can be coupled to a simple fixing, of the snap-on type, this shoe being flexible towards the front while having stiffness towards the rear. to allow support to be taken.
  • Another problem which the invention proposes to solve is that of the effective transmission of forces from the board to the foot of the user, in order to allow a good perception of the sensations coming from the surf.
  • This shoe is characterized in that the sole-gutter assembly has capacities of inclination of the gutter towards the front of the sole and a rigidity capable of limiting the inclination of the gutter towards the rear, and in that the arrangements intended to cooperate with the fastening are fixed to the sole of the shell, through the flexible boot.
  • the shoe according to the invention has a shell serving as a frame and having a capacity of articulation in the longitudinal direction only oriented towards the front.
  • This frame is firmly and rigidly associated with the fastening members for attachment through the sole of the flexible boot serving as an outer envelope, preferably at the level of the arch of the foot, or even in the heel or toe area.
  • the invention provides a flexible shoe, therefore practical for walking, able to mate with a simple attachment, and combining flexibility towards the front with rigidity backwards and optimal transmission of forces.
  • the arrangements intended to cooperate with the binding are fixed to the shell of the shoe through the boot, either at the arch of the foot, or at the heel, or jointly at the front end and the heel.
  • the connection piece with the binding is secured by screwing or any other means, directly with the rigid shell, and not on the boot, which makes it possible to use a more flexible material for the latter.
  • This arrangement allows a direct transmission of forces between the foot and the binding, by eliminating the flexibility of the boot, which improves the sensations of the user.
  • the lower edge of the gutter is integral and follows the outline of at least the rear part of the sole while the upper edge of the gutter is free, so that the upper part of the gutter has a radius of curvature much greater than that of the lower part.
  • the gutter has a general curvature facing the front of the sole, which prevents deformations oriented towards the rear.
  • the difference in curvature between the top and the bottom of the gutter favors its flexibility towards the front.
  • the shape of the gutter combines the two functions of flexibility and rigidity.
  • the shoe is equipped with articulation means able to allow the inclination of the gutter towards the front of the sole and means capable of limiting the inclination of the gutter towards the back.
  • articulation means able to allow the inclination of the gutter towards the front of the sole and means capable of limiting the inclination of the gutter towards the back.
  • the inclination limiting means consist of two inextensible lateral webs connecting an edge of the connecting portion, the rear part of the sole and the front of an edge of the gutter.
  • the complementary portion of the gutter is articulated on said gutter along a transverse axis so as to switch between two positions whether or not allowing the stopper with the projection, and this complementary portion has return means bringing it back into the stop position, so that the inclination limiting means are disengageable upon action by the user.
  • the part of the complementary portion opposite the projection is retracted by simple pressure and the gutter regains its freedom of rotation towards the rear relative to the sole.
  • the shell is removable and extractable from the boot.
  • the lower part of the boot is molded onto the shell.
  • the frame can be removed from the boot for use thereof for other activities.
  • the sole extends at the front at the level and slightly set back from the metatarsophalangeal joint.
  • the sole has at the level and slightly set back from the metatarsophalangeal joint, a zone of reduced thickness intended to facilitate articulation of the front of the sole.
  • the groove has clamping means around the bottom of the calf.
  • the sole has means for holding the foot at the instep.
  • the sole of the boot has an area of reduced thickness at the attachment of said arrangements cooperating with the binding.
  • the sole can also include metallic or composite inserts, male or female, intended to serve as attachment points.
  • the material used to make the shell of polyurethane or polyethylene or any other similar or even composite plastic material can choose different materials for the various parts of the shell, namely the sole and the gutter.
  • Figure 1 is a summary perspective view showing the different sub-assemblies of the invention.
  • FIG. 2 is a summary perspective view of a single-piece shell having a particular form of articulation, a variant of which is illustrated, in summary perspective in FIG. 3.
  • Figure 4 is a summary perspective view of a hull in two articulated parts.
  • FIG. 5 is a sectional view of a detail for adjusting the articulation of a shell of the type of that of FIG. 4.
  • Figure 6 is a sectional view of a detail of the articulation of a shell of the type of that of Figure 4, illustrating the disengagement of the tilt limiting means.
  • Figures 7 and 8 are summary perspective views of alternative embodiments of hulls having capacities for longitudinal articulation forward and also transverse.
  • Figure 9 is a sectional view of the shoe and the binding showing the cooperation between these two elements.
  • FIG. 10 is a sectional view along the plane X-X 'of FIG. 9.
  • Figures 11 to 15 are summary perspective views of the underside of the shoe having three types of arrangements fixed on the sole of the shell and intended to cooperate with bindings.
  • the objective of the invention is to provide a surf shoe having a forward flexing capacity as well as a strong rear stiffness to allow the supports.
  • the shoe (1) is broken down into three essential sub-assemblies, namely, a flexible boot (2), a removable internal shell (3) and an inner boot (4).
  • the flexible boot (2) has a conventional outer shape known in the field of surfing.
  • this boot comprises in its lower part, a sole (5) having a heel (6), and in its upper part, a rod (7) having two lateral flanks (8, 9), each of these flanks having in its front part, a lacing zone (10) making it possible to cover an internal tab (11).
  • the rod (7) is slightly oriented forward.
  • the internal shell (3) (in thick dashed lines in Figure 1) which breaks down into two main parts, namely a sole (12) and a gutter (13) .
  • the sole (12) has a general anatomical shape. It has edges that match the contours of the foot going up slightly to ensure good support.
  • the sole (12) must simultaneously allow the grip of the rear supports when practicing surfing and the articulation of the forefoot during the walking phases.
  • the front end of the sole (12) is slightly set back from the level of the metatarsophalangeal joint.
  • the sole (12) extends under the entire underside of the foot but has, at the metatarsophalangeal joint, a zone (39) of lesser thickness facilitating the articulation of the front of the foot (see figure 3).
  • the gutter (13) is a curved plate, the lower edge (40) is connected to the rear of the sole by surrounding the heel to the height of the middle of the arch plantar.
  • the radius of curvature of this portion is less than 5 centimeters.
  • the upper part (14) is of smaller width. It constitutes a free end whose radius of curvature is much larger. The configuration of this gutter therefore allows it to flex easily forward while tilting back is impossible.
  • the gutter has a general shape inscribed in a vertical cylinder, with a part (14) open towards the front.
  • the width of this opening is determined to facilitate the installation of the liner (4) as well as for questions of comfort.
  • the shell (2) consists of a single piece, the gutter (13) and the sole (12) being connected by a flexible portion (15) of small dimensions, located at the level of the Achilles tendon. This flexible portion (15) allows the inclination of the gutter (13) forward.
  • the shell also has a cable (16) which connects the sole (12) to the gutter (13).
  • This object can also be achieved by connecting the edges (41,42) of the gutter and the facing facing, by a textile veil (28) or a sheet of inextensible and flexible material.
  • the two ends (17,18) of the cable (16) are connected to the middle part of the sole, in the lateral zones, while the cable (16) runs through the rear of the gutter (13 ) by resting on anchoring studs (19).
  • the length of the cable is determined so that it is in the stretched position when the gutter (13) is in the maximum rear position.
  • the invention covers all the variants of cable passage (16) making it possible to limit this inclination towards the rear.
  • the sole (12) and the gutter (13) form two separate elements connected by a conventional joint. It may for example be a combination (20) of pivots and lights advantageously placed at the malleoli.
  • this articulation (20) allows the relative orientation of the gutter (13) relative to the sole (12).
  • the rear support is obtained by the presence of a portion (21) projecting from the rear of the sole (12) on which the rear end (22) of the gutter comes to bear.
  • the shell can be given the possibility of adjustment by positioning the rear stop (21) at a variable height.
  • the rear part of the sole has holes (29) into which the stop (21) fitted with a hooking finger is inserted.
  • this adjustment can be achieved by any other known means such as screwed studs or crenellated surface.
  • a variant of the invention illustrated in Figure 6 provides the possibility of disengaging the tilt limiting means.
  • the gutter has a portion (40) articulated by means of a yoke (45).
  • a spring (44) is placed between the gutter and the upper end of the articulated portion, so that the lower end (46) of this articulated portion (40) faces the projection (21) of the sole ( 12).
  • the lower end (42) is retracted and projects beyond the projection (21), which disengages the stop mechanism. This improves the comfort of the user when putting on and walking.
  • another characteristic of the invention is to allow good support for the foot, whether on the sole, by a strap (23) located at the instep, or even at the level of the lower leg thanks to a strap (24) connecting the two inclined faces (25,26) of the gutter (13).
  • these straps can be made of an elastic material, or else of a rigid strip, or even as illustrated, with an adjustment system (27) making it possible to adjust the shoe to the foot of the user.
  • this shell (3) being in place inside the boot (2), it is intended to receive the liner (4).
  • the sole (12) of the shell has a part (71) rising backwards and surrounding the heel.
  • This rising part (71) comprises a rivet (73) upwards ensuring the articulation of a stirrup (72).
  • This rivet (73) is arranged longitudinally so as to allow the transverse pivoting of the stirrup (72).
  • this stirrup (72) has two branches (74) extending to the level of the malleoli.
  • this stirrup (72), and more precisely the branches (74) have at their ends rivets (75) ensuring the attachment and articulation of the gutter (13), at the level of its lateral extensions (76).
  • the two rivets (75) therefore constitute a virtual axis of articulation oriented transversely relative to the shoe. They therefore allow the inclination of the gutter (13) in the longitudinal direction.
  • the use of the stirrup (72) ensures, by virtue of its articulation with the sole (12), the possibility of transverse inclination of the gutter (13).
  • lugs (77) arranged in projection on the outer face of the lateral extensions (76) of the gutter, and which come into contact with the upper edge of the stirrup (72) in the maximum rear tilt position.
  • lugs (78) are arranged laterally on the rising part (71) of the sole (12) to limit the transverse inclination of the stirrup (72).
  • the stirrup (72) is articulated by its rivets (75) on two vertical extensions (80, 81) of the sole (12), located substantially at the level of the malleoli. Additionally, the groove (13) has an extension (82) covering the Achilles tendon. This extension (82) is articulated on the stirrup (72) by the rivet (83).
  • this similar architecture makes it possible to obtain the same transverse and lateral inclination capacities as those illustrated in FIG. 7.
  • the lugs (87,88) replace the lugs (77,78) of the reinforcement illustrated in figure 7.
  • Another essential objective of the invention is to allow the use of this shoe on particularly simple bindings (30) and to ensure optimal transmission of forces from the board to the foot.
  • the binding is in the general form of a platform (31) comprising a set of articulated arms (32,33) intended to grip a prominent portion (34) of the shoe (see figures 9 and 10).
  • This prominent part (34) of the shoe is in the form of a conical or trapezoidal stud whose upper face (35) is in contact with the sole (5), the stud (34) being integral with the sole (5 ).
  • Two of the side faces (36,37) have shapes or inclinations cooperating with the attachment (33,32) for its attachment.
  • This stud is advantageously inserted in the space at the front of the heel, so that it does not exceed the underside of the sole, and does not cause any discomfort during walking.
  • the invention embraces all variants of this type of binding, that is to say having a single localized attachment zone of the type described above, or similar to the advanced bindings used on bicycle pedals, by opposition to conventional bindings which hold the shoe by its front and rear ends.
  • Figure 11 shows a platform (50) which is fixed on the sole (12), at the arch of the foot, through the boot (2) by screws (54). On this platform (50) is mounted a stud (51) which has two axes (52,53) protruding from its two lateral faces. These axes (52,53) are intended to cooperate with a complementary fixing.
  • the cooperation with the binding is carried out jointly by an anterior tongue (60) and by a pair of pins (62, 63) emerging from the lateral faces of a platform (61) fixed on the sole. (12) through the heel of the boot.
  • the arch of the boot receives a platform (65) integral with the sole (12) and having two studs (66,67) trapping the two ends of a longitudinal axis (68 ).
  • the platform is part of the sole (12) of the shell (3) and passes through the sole of the boot by a light provided for this purpose.
  • the arch of the boot receives a transverse wedge (90) of a width greater than that of the sole (5) and whose lateral overhangs (91,92) are intended to cooperate with the fixing located on the board.
  • the sole (12) is associated with a part (95) which has two lateral housings (96) at the level of the lateral zones of the arch of the foot. These housings (96) are intended to accommodate the fixing jaws (not shown).
  • One of the essential characteristics of the invention is therefore to allow the attachment of this stud (34) or equivalent bodies (50,60,61,65,90,95) directly on the rigid sole by crossing the flexible boot (2) at an area of reduced thickness.
  • This attachment preferably removable, is done by any known means, in particular by screwing.
  • the sole (5) is pre-drilled and the sole (12) may have inserts (38) for screwing in aluminum or light alloy.
  • the removable nature allows the interchangeability of the stud to adapt it to different types of fixing as well as the possibility of replacement in case of wear.
  • the support (34) can constitute an extension of the sole (12) which passes through the sole of the boot.
  • the sole (12) passes through the sole of the boot.
  • one may be faced with sealing problems.
  • the boot in two stages, one of which consists in over-injecting the lower part in rubber or PVC, around the shell (3). This eliminates sealing problems at the passage of the arrangements (34,37) through the sole of the boot.
  • the surf shoe according to the invention has multiple advantages, including in particular the possibility of using a shoe having a flexibility oriented towards the front and a rigidity for the rear supports, all in combination with a single point attachment. It should also be noted that the connection directly to the sole of the attachment stud allows fundamentally improving the sensations thanks to a direct transmission of the forces from the foot to the surf.
  • the invention has been described in detail in its application to a surf boot, but thanks to the flexibility combined with a certain rear stiffness and the direct transmission of the forces from the board to the foot, it can naturally find advantages of being used for traditional ski boots.
