Abstract

The boot consists of an inner liner (2) in direct contact with the foot, and an outer cover (3) which is shaped to receive the inner and is joined to the skate. The components are linked by a lace which is passed round hooks (8) and through eyelets (7). Each of the two sections has an aperture (5, 6) for inserting the foot, and both are tightened at the same time by the lace, which criss-crosses on top of the wearer's foot.

Description

La présente invention concerne un ensemble chaussant pour la pratique du sport, et notamment une chaussure de patin à roulettes ou roues en ligne. Cet ensemble est du type comprenant deux éléments dont l'un "interne", à savoir un chausson ou une chaussure, est en contact direct avec le pied et enveloppe celui-ci, et dont l'autre externe, à savoir respectivement une coque de chaussure ou un support de chaussure issu du patin, est destiné à recevoir et à maintenir l'élément interne. Dans un tel ensemble, au moins l'élément externe comporte des moyens de fermeture et de liaison de l'ensemble, constitués par des crochets ou un lacet ou câble reliant entre eux, selon un parcours alternatif déterminé, une série de crochets ou oeillets de renvoi disposés sur les bords d'un quartier interne et d'un quartier externe de l'élément externe délimitant une ouverture d'introduction du pied d'un utilisateur pour constituer une zone de laçage. De cette manière, lors d'une traction sur les brins du lacet, celui-ci agit en serrage sur lesdits quartiers pour les rapprocher l'un de l'autre et les maintenir en position de serrage sur le pied.The present invention relates to a footwear assembly for practicing sport, and in particular a roller skate shoe or inline wheels. This set is of the type comprising two elements, one of which "internal", namely a slipper or a shoe, is in direct contact with the foot and envelops it, and of which the other external, namely respectively a shoe shell or a shoe support from the skate, is intended to receive and maintain the internal element. In such an assembly, at least the external element comprises means for closing and connecting the assembly, constituted by hooks or a lace or cable connecting together, according to a determined alternative route, a series of hooks or eyelets arranged on the edges of an internal quarter and a quarter external of the external element delimiting an opening for introducing the foot of a user to form a lacing area. In this way, when pulling on the strands of the lace, this acts in clamping on said quarters to bring them closer to each other and maintain them in clamping position on the foot.

Dans les ensembles connus de ce type, qu'il s'agisse d'une chaussure de sport munie d'un chausson ou d'une chaussure destinée à être solidarisée à un châssis, il est toujours fastidieux pour l'utilisateur de devoir effectuer un premier laçage de l'élément interne, en fait le chausson dans un patin à roues en ligne, puis le laçage de l'élément externe, en fait la coque.In known sets of this type, whether it is a sports shoe provided with a slipper or a shoe intended to be secured to a frame, it is always tiresome for the user to have to perform a first lacing of the internal element, in fact the liner in an inline skate, then lacing the external element, makes the shell.

Le document US 3,837,098 concerne une tige de chaussure ayant deux portions de tige superposées coopérant au serrage de manière croisée de façon à favoriser la répartition des serrages autour du pied et éviter tout risque de flottement du pied. Pour obtenir un tel résultat, les portions de tiges sont liées à la semelle de manière résistante à la traction sur l'élément de serrage. La tige interne entoure toutefois partiellement l'avant-pied seulement. Une telle tige ne peut donc pas être utilisée en dehors de la chaussure.Document US 3,837,098 relates to a shoe upper having two portions of upper superimposed cooperating in the tightening in a crossed way so as to favor the distribution of tightenings around the foot and avoid any risk of the foot floating. To get such a result, the portions of the uppers are linked to the sole so as to be resistant to traction on the element of Tightening. The internal stem, however, only partially surrounds the forefoot. Such a rod therefore cannot be used outside the shoe.

Le document WO 89/04126 se rapporte à une chaussure de ski de fond comprenant une tige basse interne et une tige haute externe entourant la tige basse. Un système de laçage commun à la tige basse et la tige haute agit sur cette dernière au niveau du pli de flexion du pied. Le laçage est cependant opéré de manière successive sur la tige basse dans la partie basse de la chaussure, puis sur la tige haute dans la partie haute de la chaussure. La tige basse est reliée à la semelle de manière fixe et permanente sans possibilité de séparation.Document WO 89/04126 relates to a cross-country ski boot comprising an upper internal lower and an external upper rod surrounding the lower rod. A common lacing system to the lower upper and the upper upper acts on the latter at the bend of the foot. The lacing is however operated successively on the lower rod in the lower part of the shoe, then on the upper upper in the upper part of the shoe. The lower rod is connected to the sole permanently and permanently without the possibility of separation.

D'autres documents enseignent des systèmes de serrage de portions superposées de chaussures tels que les documents US 2,096,677 ; DE 11 91 717 ; US 3,837,098 ou encore US 4,571,856.Other documents teach clamping systems for overlapping portions of shoes such as documents US 2,096,677; DE 11 91 717; US 3,837,098 or even US 4,571,856.

Le but de la présente invention est de remédier aux inconvénients de l'art antérieur en proposant un ensemble chaussant offrant le serrage desdits deux éléments facilement et rapidement pour un serrage tout aussi efficace.
A cet effet, elle concerne un ensemble chaussant pour la pratique du sport notamment pour patin à roues en lignes; du type comprenant:

  • un élément chaussant interne ayant une ouverture, définie au moins en partie par une paire de portions de bords latéralement opposées dans une portion avant du pied ;
  • un élément externe ayant une taille et une forme adaptée pour y recevoir, en partie au moins, ledit élément interne, ledit élément externe ayant une ouverture, définie au moins en partie par une paire de portions de bords opposées dans une portion avant du pied ;
  • une zone de laçage définie par une série d'éléments de laçage sur chacune des portions de bords de l'élément chaussant interne et une série d'éléments de laçage sur chacune des portions de bords de l'élément externe, ladite zone de laçage étant exclusivement pourvue dans la portion avant du pied ; et
  • un lacet ou câble formant deux brins connectés l'un à l'autre, ledit lacet ou câble s'étendant le long et connectant les éléments de laçage dans un pas alternatif prédéterminé, de sorte qu'une traction sur lesdits deux brins du lacet exerce un rapprochement desdites portions de bords opposées pour les maintenir dans une position de serrage, caractérisé en ce que,
  • l'élément chaussant interne a une taille et une forme adaptée pour recevoir à l'intérieur l'ensemble d'un pied, et est positionné de manière détachable à l'intérieur dudit élément externe.
    • The object of the present invention is to remedy the drawbacks of the prior art by proposing a footwear assembly offering the tightening of said two elements easily and quickly for an equally effective tightening.
    To this end, it relates to a footwear assembly for the practice of sport, in particular for inline skating; of the type comprising:
  • an internal footwear element having an opening, defined at least in part by a pair of laterally opposite edge portions in a front portion of the foot;
  • an outer member having a size and shape adapted to receive therein, at least in part, said inner member, said outer member having an opening, defined at least in part by a pair of opposite edge portions in a front portion of the foot;
  • a lacing zone defined by a series of lacing elements on each of the edge portions of the internal footwear element and a series of lacing elements on each of the edge portions of the external element, said lacing zone being exclusively provided in the front portion of the foot; and
  • a lace or cable forming two strands connected to each other, said lace or cable extending along and connecting the lacing elements in a predetermined alternating pitch, so that a pull on said two strands of the lace exerts bringing said portions of opposite edges together to maintain them in a clamping position, characterized in that,
  • the internal footwear element has a size and a shape adapted to receive the whole of a foot inside, and is detachably positioned inside said external element.

    • D'autres modes particuliers de réalisation selon l'invention sont indiqués dans les revendications 2-6.Other particular embodiments according to the invention are indicated in claims 2-6.

    La présente invention concerne également les caractéristiques qui ressortiront au cours de la description qui va suivre et qui devront être considérées isolément ou selon toutes leurs combinaisons techniques possibles.The present invention also relates to the characteristics which will emerge during the description which follows and which must be considered in isolation or according to all their possible technical combinations.

    Cette description donnée à titre d'exemple non limitatif fera mieux comprendre comment l'invention peut être réalisée, en référence aux dessins annexés sur lesquels :

    • la figure 1 représente, en perspective, un patin à roues en ligne selon un exemple d'application du dispositif de laçage selon l'invention,
    • la figure 2 représente, à échelle agrandie, l'élément interne ou chaussure composant le patin, selon la figure 1,
    • la figure 3 représente, à échelle agrandie, l'élément externe ou support issu d'un châssis du patin selon la figure 1,
    • la figure 4 représente, à échelle agrandie, l'élément interne ou chaussure disposé dans l'élément externe ou support dont l'ensemble constitue le patin selon la figure 1, selon un premier type de laçage,
    • la figure 5 représente, à échelle agrandie, l'élément interne ou chaussure disposé dans l'élément externe ou support dont l'ensemble constitue le patin selon la figure 1, selon un second type de laçage.
    This description given by way of nonlimiting example will make it easier to understand how the invention can be implemented, with reference to the accompanying drawings in which:
    • FIG. 1 represents, in perspective, an inline skate wheel according to an example of application of the lacing device according to the invention,
    • FIG. 2 represents, on an enlarged scale, the internal element or shoe making up the skate, according to FIG. 1,
    • FIG. 3 represents, on an enlarged scale, the external element or support coming from a frame of the skate according to FIG. 1,
    • FIG. 4 represents, on an enlarged scale, the internal element or shoe disposed in the external element or support, the assembly of which constitutes the pad according to FIG. 1, according to a first type of lacing,
    • FIG. 5 represents, on an enlarged scale, the internal element or shoe disposed in the external element or support, the assembly of which constitutes the shoe according to FIG. 1, according to a second type of lacing.

    Le patin à roues en ligne 1 désigné sur les figures n'est cité qu'à titre d'exemple concret de réalisation. Il est évident qu'il pourrait s'agir de tout autre type de chaussure de sport.The inline skate 1 designated in the figures is cited only as a concrete example of production. It is obvious that it could be any other type of sports shoe.

    Il s'agit d'un ensemble chaussant comprenant deux éléments, à savoir un élément interne 2, en fait un chausson ou une chaussure de marche relativement souple, et un élément externe 3, en fait un support relativement rigide solidaire du châssis 4 du patin 1 et apte à recevoir le chausson ou chaussure souple 2.It is a footwear set comprising two elements, namely an internal element 2, in fact a relatively flexible bootie or walking shoe, and an external element 3, makes it a relatively rigid support integral with the chassis 4 of the shoe 1 and capable of receiving the slipper or soft shoe 2.

    Chacun de ces éléments interne 2 ou externe 3, donc la chaussure et son support, comporte une ouverture d'introduction du pied respectivement 5 et 6.Each of these internal 2 or external 3 elements, therefore the shoe and its support, comprises an opening for introducing the foot respectively 5 and 6.

    Ces ouvertures 5 et 6 sont chacune délimitée par un quartier interne respectivement 5A, 6A, et un quartier externe respectivement 5B, 6B.These openings 5 and 6 are each delimited by an internal quarter respectively 5A, 6A, and an outer quarter respectively 5B, 6B.

    Sur chacun des bords de l'ouverture 5 de l'élément interne 2 sont disposés des paires d'oeillets 7, 7A, alors que sur chacun des bords de l'ouverture de l'élément externe 3 sont disposés des crochets 8. Un câble ou un lacet 9 unique passe alternativement sur les oeillets 7, 7A, et les crochets 8 des différents quartiers 5A, 5B, 6A, 6B, par ses deux brins respectivement 9a, 9b.On each of the edges of the opening 5 of the internal element 2 are arranged pairs of eyelets 7, 7A, while on each of the edges of the opening of the external element 3 are arranged hooks 8. A cable or a single lace 9 passes alternately over the eyelets 7, 7A, and the hooks 8 of the different quarters 5A, 5B, 6A, 6B, through its two strands respectively 9 a , 9 b .

    L'action en serrage sur les quartiers internes 5A, 6A, et externes 5B, 6B, respectifs délimitant chacune desdites ouvertures 5 et 6, s'effectue simultanément par traction sur le lacet ou câble unique 9 reliant entre eux, selon un parcours alternatif déterminé, les crochets 8 ou oeillets 7, 7A, précités de la manière qui sera décrite ci-après pour constituer des moyens de fermeture et de liaison unique de l'ensemble chaussant, lors d'une traction sur les brins 9a et 9b du lacet 9 agissant alors en serrage sur lesdits quartiers 5A, 6A, et 5B, 6B, pour les rapprocher l'un de l'autre et les maintenir en position de serrage sur le pied. Comme montré sur la figure 1, des échancrures 10 peuvent être prévues entre chaque partie de l'élément extérieur 3 présentant un crochet de façon à réaliser des pattes 11 de serrage portant ces crochets, et plus facilement déformables en vue d'un serrage plus facile de l'élément interne 2.The clamping action on the inner 5A, 6A, and outer 5B, 6B, respective quarters delimiting each of said openings 5 and 6, is carried out simultaneously by pulling on the lace or single cable 9 connecting together, according to a determined alternative route, the hooks 8 or eyelets 7, 7A, aforementioned in the manner which will be described below to constitute means of closure and single connection of the footwear assembly, when pulling on the strands 9a and 9b of the lace 9 then acting in clamping on said quarters 5A, 6A, and 5B, 6B, for the move closer to each other and hold them in the clamping position on the foot. As shown in Figure 1, notches 10 may be provided between each part of the element outside 3 having a hook so as to produce clamping lugs 11 carrying these hooks, and more easily deformable for easier clamping of the internal element 2.

    Comme le montrent plus particulièrement les figures 2 à 5, la zone de laçage de l'élément externe 3 s'étend au delà et à une certaine distance de la zone de laçage de l'élément respectivement interne 2, chaque crochet 8 étant disposé entre deux oeillets 7, 7A, d'une même paire et en retrait par rapport à ceux-ci. Ceci permet à une portion, respectivement "a" ou "b", de brin 9a ou 9b reliant deux oeillets successifs respectivement 7, 7A, d'un des quartiers 5A, 5B, de l'élément interne 2 d'être saisie et étendue par traction vers un crochet 8 réalisé sur un quartier 6A, 6B, de l'élément externe 3 et se positionnant entre ces deux oeillets successifs 7, 7A, comme montré sur la figure 4, ou entre deux oeillets successifs d'un quartier opposé 5A, 5B, de l'élément interne 2, comme montré sur la figure 5.As shown more particularly in FIGS. 2 to 5, the lacing zone of the external element 3 extends beyond and at a certain distance from the lacing zone of the respectively internal element 2, each hook 8 being disposed between two eyelets 7, 7A, of the same pair and recessed with respect thereto. This allows a portion, respectively "a" or "b", of strand 9 a or 9 b connecting two successive eyelets respectively 7, 7A, of one of the quarters 5A, 5B, of the internal element 2 to be grasped and extended by traction towards a hook 8 produced on a quarter 6A, 6B, of the external element 3 and positioned between these two successive eyelets 7, 7A, as shown in FIG. 4, or between two successive eyelets of a quarter opposite 5A, 5B, of the internal element 2, as shown in FIG. 5.

    En fait, la figure 4 montre selon un premier exemple de serrage, une extension des portions "a" ou "b" des brins 9a ou 9b, situées entre deux oeillets successifs 7, 7A, vers un crochet 8 situé du même côté que ces oeillets, alors que la figure 5 montre une extension des mêmes portions "a" et "b" vers un crochet 8 situé sur le quartier opposé.In fact, Figure 4 shows according to a first example of tightening, an extension of the portions "a" or "b" of the strands 9a or 9b, situated between two successive eyelets 7, 7A, towards a hook 8 located on the same side as these eyelets, while Figure 5 shows an extension of the same portions "a" and "b" to a hook 8 located on the opposite quarter.

    Il en découle un confort différent qui sera laissé au choix de l'utilisateur.This results in a different comfort which will be left to the choice of the user.

    Préférentiellement, la portion "a", "b", de brin 9a, 9b, reliant deux oeillets successifs 7, 7A, passe au-dessus du quartier correspondant 5A, 5B, de l'élément interne 2, de manière à faciliter sa préhension. Preferably, the portion "a", "b", of strand 9a, 9b, connecting two successive eyelets 7, 7A, passes over the corresponding quarter 5A, 5B, of the internal element 2, so as to facilitate gripping.

    On notera que chaque quartier interne 5A et externe 5B de l'élément interne 2 comporte un nombre identique de paires d'oeillets successifs 7, 7A, réalisés en vis-à-vis les uns des autres de façon symétrique, et que chaque quartier interne 6A et externe 6B de l'élément externe 3 comporte autant de crochets 8 que de paires d'oeillets 7, 7A, disposés symétriquement entre ceux-ci et suivant un décalage prédéterminé vers l'extérieur par rapport aux oeillets 7, 7A, de l'élément interne 2.It will be noted that each internal 5A and external 5B quarter of the internal element 2 has a identical number of pairs of successive eyelets 7, 7A, made facing one another symmetrically, and that each internal 6A and external 6B quarter of the external element 3 has as many hooks 8 as pairs of eyelets 7, 7A, arranged symmetrically between these and following a predetermined offset towards the outside with respect to the eyelets 7, 7A, of the internal element 2.

    Selon les exemples représentés, et comme montré notamment sur la figure 2, mais non obligatoirement, le passage de chacun des brins 9a, 9b, d'un côté à l'autre des quartiers 5A, 5B, de l'élément interne 2 s'effectue de manière croisée au-dessus du pied de l'utilisateur entre chaque paire d'oeillets 7, 7A.According to the examples shown, and as shown in particular in Figure 2, but not obligatorily, the passage of each of the strands 9a, 9b, from one side to the other of the quarters 5A, 5B, of the internal element 2 is carried out crosswise above the foot of the user between each pair of eyelets 7, 7A.

    Egalement, selon l'exemple déjà cité de la figure 5, l'extension de deux portions "a", "b" de brins 9a, 9b, reliant deux paires d'oeillets successifs 7, 7A, de l'élément intérieur 2 disposés en vis-à-vis, vers deux crochets intermédiaires 8 correspondant de l'élément extérieur réalisés sur des quartiers opposés, permet d'obtenir un laçage croisé entre l'élément interne 2 et l'élément externe 3, s'ajoutant au laçage croisé propre à l'élément interne 2.Also, according to the example already cited in Figure 5, the extension of two portions " a ", " b " of strands 9a, 9b, connecting two pairs of successive eyelets 7, 7A, of the inner element 2 arranged vis-à-vis, towards two intermediate hooks 8 corresponding to the external element produced on opposite quarters, makes it possible to obtain a crossed lacing between the internal element 2 and the external element 3, in addition to the crossed lacing specific to the internal element 2.

    Selon une première application, l'élément interne 2 est constitué par un chausson apte à être inséré de manière amovible dans la coque d'une chaussure constituant l'élément externe 3.According to a first application, the internal element 2 is constituted by a liner capable of being inserted removably into the shell of a shoe constituting the external element 3.

    Selon une seconde application, l'élément interne 2 est constitué par une chaussure apte à se positionner de manière amovible dans un support issu d'un patin et constituant l'élément externe 3, de manière à pouvoir le dissocier aisément du patin en vue de constituer une chaussure de marche.According to a second application, the internal element 2 is constituted by a shoe capable of being releasably position in a support from a shoe and constituting the element external 3, so that it can be easily dissociated from the skate in order to constitute a walking shoe.

    Le mode de liaison entre le châssis 4 d'un patin et l'élément interne 2, de type chausson, chaussure, selon l'invention, est particulièrement avantageux puisqu'ils ne nécessite qu'un seul type de moyens de serrage et un seul lacet ou câble de serrage.The mode of connection between the chassis 4 of a shoe and the internal element 2, of the liner type, shoe according to the invention is particularly advantageous since they require only one type of tightening means and a single lace or tightening cable.

    Par ailleurs, les modes de réalisation décrits ci-avant pourraient bien entendu être inversés, c'est-à-dire que les paires d'oeillets pourraient être disposées sur l'élément externe et les crochets sur l'élément interne.Furthermore, the embodiments described above could of course be reversed, that is, the pairs of eyelets could be arranged on the external element and the hooks on the internal element.
