Definitions

  • the subject of the present invention is a sports shoe, such as a ski, ice skate, inline or classic roller skate shoe, etc., comprising a rod which surrounds the wearer's lower leg and relates to an adjustable support plate over a portion of the entrance perimeter of said rod to constitute support for the lower leg.
  • the support plates are especially intended, at the place of their fixing, to distribute the forces exerted between the concerned portion of the entrance perimeter of the upper and the area opposite the bottom of wearer's leg.
  • the plates also make it possible to perfect the adaptation of the upper of the shoe to the morphology of the wearer's lower leg, to locally strengthen the upper, for example to direct certain forces in a preferential direction, or else increase or decrease the height of the support they provide at the lower leg, for example to improve the perception of effort by the wearer, and thus give the latter the means to react more quickly and with more precision to certain solicitations.
  • the support plates are, in themselves, independent of the upper of the shoe, and are thus easily adjustable in position on the bottom of wearer's leg.
  • these support plates which are designed according to an undifferentiated one-piece structure, with a single mounting direction, do not allow the quality of the support and / or support they provide to be modulated, in flexibility or in stiffness in particular.
  • the support plates are, unlike the shoes mentioned above, fixed in an adjustable manner in position on the upper. In this way, the wearer can pre-adjust as he wishes the relative position of the plate on the rod, and therefore that of the support which it will give him on his lower leg.
  • changing the position of the plate on the rod either in height or transversely, only provides an adaptation of the position of the support and / or reinforcement of the rod. Indeed, it does not make it possible to modulate the quality of the support in flexibility and / or in stiffness that it provides to the area of the lower leg placed opposite. More precisely in the case of document EP 74 513, the support plate is provided flexible but this flexibility remains constant and cannot be modulated or eliminated.
  • This shoe has a shell surmounted by a rod, which is provided on its inner wall on a portion of its entrance perimeter with a support plate comprising two zones of different flexibility.
  • This support plate is angularly adjustable, using means ensuring its fixing to the rod, at least between two opposite positions, ie at 180 °, each corresponding to the implementation of one of its flexible zones. .
  • the support plate is quadrangular and the differentiation of its flexible zones is obtained by weakening cuts made in one of its sides. In such a shoe, it is therefore possible, unlike the shoes mentioned above, to modulate the flexibility and / or the stiffness of the support provided by the plate by placing one or the other of these zones beyond the edge. from the entrance perimeter of the rod to the place where it is fixed.
  • the support plate is rotatably mounted, more precisely rotatable on fixing means forming a pivot, which remain in the same place on the rod, it is not possible to adjust it, at the choice of the wearer , in height or laterally.
  • the fixing means constituting a rotary mounting of the plate the latter is not held in a constant and reliable manner in the angular position chosen. Indeed, no means blocks it in rotation and it remains free to pivot on itself.
  • the present invention proposes to remedy the drawbacks of sports shoes which have just been exposed by providing a shoe in which the support plate is pre-adjustable and immobilizable in position on the upper, in height and / or laterally, as well only angularly on itself in order to be able to provide, for each preset position, at least two different qualities of support and / or support, in flexibility, stiffness and / or damping.
  • the sports shoe has a shell surmounted by a rod, which is provided on its inner wall on a portion of its entrance perimeter with a support plate comprising at least two zones of different flexibility, this plate being angularly adjustable using means ensuring its fixing on the rod, between at least two angular positions each corresponding to the implementation of at least one flexible zone, and is characterized in that the means for fixing the support plate consist of at least two elements forming tenons with which cooperate an equal number of hollow parts such as holes.
  • the support plate can thus be immobilized in rotation for each of its adjustment positions relative to the rod, in height and laterally, and its angular adjustment is subject to the disengagement of said studs from the holes, then to the re-engagement of the studs in the holes put in correspondence.
  • the plate fixing means comprise a number of holes greater than that of the stud elements, and are spaced from each other by a distance of value "a" equal to that "a” separating said let's hold on.
  • the support plate can thus be adjusted in position to the "hole by hole” relative to the rod for as many positions as there are additional holes for the studs, and this, in addition to its possible angular adjustment intended to provide the minus two different support qualities.
  • the means for fixing the plate comprise hollow parts formed by oblong slots parallel to each other, and tenons formed by cylindrical portions of diameter adjusted to the width of said slots.
  • the support plate can thus be adjusted "continuously" relative to the rod as a function of the length of the oblong slots.
  • the oblong slots can be provided in various orientations relative to the rod.
  • the oblong slots are provided oriented vertically.
  • the oblong slots are then provided oriented in the envisaged direction.
  • assembly parts such as screws, bolts, pins, etc.
  • the assembly parts are screws or bolts, and it is the cylindrical rod of these which constitutes the elements forming tenons.
  • the different flexibility zones of the support plate are obtained by making at least one of said zones of the weakening cuts. They are also obtained by using at least two separate materials, one being more flexible and / or more compressible than the other. Preferably, the zones of different flexibility are located on either side of the means for fixing the support plate.
  • the upper of the shoe equipped with the support plate can be of the type in the form of a collar with transverse flaps which overlap each other, or of the type comprising a front cover and a rear cover.
  • FIGS. 1 and 2 illustrate, in perspective views, sports boots such as ski boots fitted with a support plate, FIG. 1 showing a boot of the type whose upper has a front cover and a rear cover, and Figure 2 a shoe whose upper is of the collar type with transverse closure flaps.
  • Figure 3 is a partial view of the flap of the upper of the shoe of Figure 2 which is equipped with the support plate with the aid of fixing means arranged according to one embodiment, and shows, in broken broken lines , different adjustment positions in position relative to the rod.
  • Figure 4 shows the support plate of Figure 3 in a second support adjustment position where it is the most flexible area which is implemented near the entrance perimeter of the rod.
  • FIGS. 5 and 6 illustrate a support plate comprising two zones of different flexibility obtained by the use of two distinct materials, and another embodiment of the means for fixing said plate.
  • FIGS 7, 8 and 9 show different embodiments of the means for fixing the support plate and its flexible zones.
  • the shoe illustrated in Figure 1 consists of a shell 1 surrounding the foot and the heel, a sole 7, and a rod 2 of the type comprising a rear cover 3 and a front cover 4. Closing elements and holding the known foot 5 are arranged on the rod 2 and on the shell 1.
  • the front 4 and rear 3 covers of the rod 2 are articulated around connecting pivots 6 on the shell 1 on each side thereof. the area approximately corresponding to that of the wearer's malleoli.
  • the support plate 8 is fixed on a portion of the entrance perimeter of the rod 2 such as on the inside of the front cover 4 in order to serve as support for the front part of the lower leg.
  • Fastening means 9 having elements 10 forming tenons, which are integral with the front cover 4 and which are spaced apart by a distance of value "a", cooperate with corresponding hollow parts 11. These hollow parts are constituted by oblong slots oriented vertically and spaced by a distance of value "a” identical to that separating the tenons 10.
  • the support plate 8 is thus locked in rotation when it is mounted on the tenons , but retains the possibility of vertical displacement given by the orientation of the oblong slots 11, and limited by the length of said slots.
  • an additional pair of oblong slots 11 is produced at a distance and parallel to the first pair of lights 11.
  • the support plate 8 is more or less centered relative to the front part of the front cover 4, and offers, by way consequently, more or less lateral support at the lower leg.
  • the support plate 8 is made with two zones 18 and 19 of different flexibility. To this end, weakening cuts 19 ′ are obtained only in the border delimiting the area 19, which is thus made more flexible than the area 18.
  • the most flexible zone 19 is directed downwards under the front cover 4, and the least flexible zone 18 substantially exceeds the upper edge of said cover 4, that is to say that it extends above the perimeter rod 2 input.
  • the support provided at the lower leg is, in this case, firm support.
  • the ski boot has, as in the boot of FIG. 1, a shell 1 surrounding the foot and the heel and a sole 7, but the upper 12 is, this time, of the type of collar which closes on its front part by overlapping flaps 14 and 14 '.
  • the outer flap 14 is obtained with two clamps 13 which are provided and / or subjected to the action of the clamping and closing elements 5.
  • the support plate 8 is fixed on the upper flange 13 by fastening means 9, similar to those described above with reference to the shoe of Figure 1, and is thus sandwiched between the flaps 14 and 14 '. By this assembly, the plate 8 is automatically moved away from the anterior region of the rod 12 when the flap 14 is moved apart, as shown in phantom, in order to allow passage of the foot during putting on and / or taking off.
  • Figures 3 and 4 illustrate the different possibilities of adjusting the support plate 8 on the outer flap 14 of the upper 12 of the shoe.
  • the fixing means 9, constituted by the tenons 10 and the hollow parts 11, are located on the upper flange 13.
  • the tenons 10 are spaced apart by a distance of value "a” and the oblong slots 11 are spaced , through pair, with a distance of value "a” identical to that of the tenons 10.
  • the support plate 8 is provided, as explained with reference to FIG. 1, two zones 18 and 19 of different flexibility which are located on either side of the fixing means 9, and which can be implemented as desired by simple inversion of the plate 8 at 180 °.
  • the plate 8 can still be moved and adjusted continuously in the vertical direction indicated by the arrow 15 thanks to the length of the lights 11, and also laterally, as indicated by the arrow 16, by changing the pair of lights 11 which cooperates with the tenons 10.
  • the zones 29, 30, of different flexibility are determined not by weakening cuts, but by the use of materials with characteristics different in suppleness, flexibility, and / or elastic compressibility, ... etc. Furthermore, these zones 29, 30, of different flexibility can be arranged asymmetrically with respect to the fixing means 59 of the plate 28.
  • the fixing means 59 comprise, as before, elements 50 forming tenons which are located on the rod of the shoe, not shown, with which hollow parts 51 cooperate, constituted in this case by cylindrical holes.
  • the pins 50 are spaced horizontally by a distance of value "a" corresponding to that of the holes 51.
  • the pins 50 are six in number, at the rate of three pairs arranged horizontally, and at the 'inside which the studs are spaced from each other by a value "b", the central pair being offset vertically with respect to the other two by a distance of value "b / 2".
  • the holes 51 are arranged in groups of three pairs corresponding to the pins 50.
  • a seventh hole 51 is added to the pair of holes 51 which is central and is shifted vertically at a distance of value "b".
  • FIGS 7, 8 and 9, which follow show alternative embodiments of the means for fixing the support plate and / or its zones of differentiated flexibility.
  • the support plate 38 is provided with fixing means 59 constituted by a multitude of cylindrical holes 50 spaced from each other by a value "a", as much in the horizontal as in the vertical direction, and two studs 51 spaced from each other by a corresponding "a” value.
  • the support plate 38 is thus adjustable as before in a lateral-transverse direction relative to the rod 2, 12, and in a vertical direction for two positions for adjusting the quality of the support it provides by turning 180 ° on itself, but also for two other positions by angular mounting at 90 °. This arrangement is advantageous if more than two positions for adjusting the quality of the support provided by the plate 38 are desired, even if the latter has only two zones 48, 49, of differentiated flexibility.
  • the plate 38 is provided with an inflexible zone 48 and with a flexible zone 49
  • FIG. 8 an embodiment of fastening means 9 is shown, the pins 10 of which are on the support plate 58, while the hollow parts 11 are produced in the wall of the rod 2-12.
  • the means for fixing the plate 68 are simply summed up by two studs 10, situated on the upper of the shoe, not shown, and three hollow parts 11 aligned and spaced apart from each other. a value "a" similar to that separating the tenons 10. In this case, there are nevertheless two lateral or vertical adjustment positions, depending on the direction of arrangement of the tenons relative to the upper of the shoe and two positions of adjustment of the quality of the support provided by the plate.
  • the means for fixing the support plate can be constituted by elements other than studs, and in particular by the cylindrical rod of known assembly parts such as screws, bolts, pinned pins , etc ..., preferably removable, but can nevertheless be constituted by parts which can be dismantled by destruction and which can be replaced on demand, such as rivets.
  • the support plate have at least two different flexibility zones, but it can also be obtained with an elastically compressible part.
  • the support plate is not limited to its use on the front part of the upper of the shoe, but can be fixed in any location close to the edge of the entrance perimeter of said upper, whether at rear and / or on the sides.
