Definitions

  • the invention relates to a snowboard boot insert as well as to a snowboard boot equipped with such an insert more particularly adapted to the practice of disciplines such as "free-ride” or "free-style”.
  • the surfer who practices the new disciplines is led to take support and adopt a very reclining attitude forward or backward. He needs then strongly bend one of the legs inward in the direction of a bringing one knee closer to the board. The other leg also undergoes a less pronounced lateral inclination outwards. To facilitate flexing of the leg inward while maintaining a certain balance, the surfer can bend the knee; which causes the lower leg to flex from back to front.
  • EP-A1-646334 relates to a snowboard boot which includes a flexible inner part in the shape of a shoe, an outer part also in the shape of a shoe, with a flexible upper, and is disposed between these two parts, a rigid insert on which is articulated at the height of the foot joint and from the lower leg along an axis passing through the longitudinal plane of the shoe, a rigid dorsal part which encloses the calf.
  • This shoe has the advantage of favoring the taking of turns “back side “very efficiently thanks to the rigid dorsal part with support rear and which is inserted directly into the shoe while maintaining a certain lateral laxity, either on the interior or exterior side, to allow the surfer to adopt more or less bent leg positions.
  • the shoe also retains the comfort of a boot of the flexible type by the presence of a internal liner and an external flexible upper. This comfort is appreciable especially when using the shoe for walking.
  • the rigid articulated insert has several major drawbacks.
  • the rear support part pivots during combined stresses in postero-anterior flexion of the leg and in lateral flexion; which causes a twisting of the insert which affects the rod and can cause problems comfort.
  • such an insert is not suitable for controlling the amplitude postero-anterior flexion; which can lead to tendon trauma due to hyperflexion.
  • the insert does not bring not a satisfactory solution in the need to concretely manage a asymmetry of internal / external lateral laxity. In other words, we realized that it is necessary that the upper of a snowboard boot has a laxity lateral more important on the internal side in particular than on the external side and that the solution of document EP-A1-646334 does not take it into account.
  • the present invention therefore presents itself as an improvement to the inserts intended to equip boots or shoes of the 'flexible' type in particular appreciated in the modern practice of snowboarding.
  • the invention aims to solve the aforementioned drawbacks by proposing a solution that is both simple and functional and which adapts to any type of existing boot or shoe.
  • Such an insert retains the essential rear support function but is articulated differently and is therefore no longer subject to a twisting phenomenon in accompanying the combined postero-anterior and lateral flexion of the leg of much more natural way.
  • said stop means constitutes also a means of controlling the tilting amplitude of the side wings around the axis to limit their forward tilt during posteroanterior flexion of the leg.
  • the upper of the shoe can bend forward until a certain value of angulation necessary for the realization of certain figures related to snowboarding but not beyond, so as to avoid bending too large from which the risk of trauma becomes real.
  • one of the two wings side has a lower portion and an upper portion connected between them by a second means of articulation situated above the first means articulation, substantially at ankle height, which allows an inclination lateral of the inner and / or outer side of said upper portion during the flexion on the side of the leg.
  • the lateral laxity is favored from one side to the less to adapt the flexibility of the shoe to the specific needs related to the snowboarding.
  • the insert according to the invention is intended to equip a snowboard shoe or boot 9 of the flexible type.
  • the boot has a sole part 90, a rod part 91 made of material flexible, internal slipper 92, preferably fabric or leather-based and padded flexible foam.
  • the upper part is connected to the sole part by any means known means of the state of the art such as gluing, sewing, etc.
  • the insert 1 is interposed between the internal shoe 92 and the rest of the shoe. It is anchored by means of fixing such as rivets, staples or the like on the sole portion 90 for immobilize it firmly inside the boot.
  • the insert comprises a U-shaped base element 2, rigid, having a base part in the form of an elongated plate 20 and extending upwards by two opposite side parts 21, 22.
  • Each part 21, 22 forms with the plate base 20 an angle close to 90 ° or slightly greater than 90 ° to hold account of the particular shape of the base of the slipper.
  • Element thickness 2 is small, around 2 to 5 mm, but the element should be sufficient rigid to absorb the different bending and torsional forces that it causes undergo.
  • the base plate 20 is crossed by several bores 200, 201, 202 in order to be able to be fixed with an element of the sole part, of preferably a metal or composite reinforcement insole based on fibers.
  • the base plate is oriented transversely to the direction longitudinal of the shoe shown in Figure 2 by the line AR-AV.
  • the length of the plate 20 must be substantially less than the width of the internal space of the sole of the shoe and slightly greater the width of the bootie, so that it can be inserted correctly.
  • Two lateral wings 3, 4 each connect to one of the plate parts side 21, 22 of the base element 2.
  • each wing 3, 4 is able to pivot relative to the element of base around the axis (I-I ') when the leg flexes in a longitudinal direction in the postero-anterior direction and vice versa.
  • the wing 3 located on the internal side (INT) of the shoe is provided with a lower portion 30, and an upper portion 31 interconnected by a second articulation means 80 situated above the first means 50, substantially at ankle height.
  • This second means 80 allows the portion upper 31 to tilt laterally on the inner side of the shoe when sagging of the leg laterally. The upper portion is therefore pushed by the lower leg which flexes inwards above the joint of the ankle ( Figure 4).
  • wing 4 on the outer side is more rigid in flexion lateral than wing 3 located on the internal side (INT).
  • wing 4 provides support more important external lateral which can be sought in the practice of snowboard to be able to promote recovery.
  • the upper rigidity of the wing 4 only moderately affects the internal flexion displacement of wing 3 in the since the construction of the shoe upper is flexible and deformable.
  • this second articulation means 80 consists of a thickness reduction zone separating the two portions over the entire width of the side wing 3.
  • the insert also includes stop means 60, 61 which block the tilting or the anteroposterior inclination of the wings 3, 4 during a rear leg support and which also serves as a means of controlling the tilt amplitude or tilt around (I-I ') to limit the maximum tilt ⁇ forward when posterior-anterior flexion of the leg ( Figure 5).
  • This means of stop and control 60, 61 consists of an oblong hole 600 which passes through the lower portion 30, 40 of each lateral wing 3, 4 and a lug 601 engaged with said oblong hole 600 which is fixed relative to the lateral part 21, 22.
  • stop and control 60, 61 consists of an oblong hole 600 which passes through the lower portion 30, 40 of each lateral wing 3, 4 and a lug 601 engaged with said oblong hole 600 which is fixed relative to the lateral part 21, 22.
  • Figure 3 shows in detail the connection between the element of base 20 and one of the wings 3.
  • the lug 601 comprises a part of the rod riveted to a end on the side plate part 21 and a shouldered head at the other end for holding the lug in the oblong hole, even in the event of sagging significant lateral wing 3.
  • the insert also includes a flexible and inextensible rear support means 7 consisting of a connecting element of the collar or strap type, each end of which 70, 71 is connected to one of the upper portions 31, 41 of the lateral wings 3, 4 and that surrounds the calf.
  • the flexible nature of the insert allows support for deformation of the insert during lateral bending, without creating any discomfort zone for the lower leg.
  • the difference in inclination created between the inner wing 3 provided with articulation means 80 and the outer wing 4 without articulation means is easily absorbed by the flexible rear support means 7.
  • this means must be inextensible, or at least not very extensible to provide support effective rear.
  • a means will be chosen from a flexible band or strap of narrow width in textile, leather or plastic for example.
  • the link with the wings 3, 4 are made by any known means allowing the articulation such as a rivet, for example.
  • FIGS 6, 6A, 7 and 7A show a variant of the invention with means stopping and controlling the tilting amplitude of the wings 60, 61 which are different in their design.
  • each lateral wing 3, 4 is articulated on each respective lateral part 21, 22 of the basic element 2 by an articulation means 50, 51.
  • the lower part 30, 40 of each wing is housed in a recess 602 formed in each lateral part.
  • the recess includes a rear edge 603 on which the rear edge bears. of the lower wing to provide rear support during a weak inclination of the wing backwards (AR) ( Figures 6 and 6A).
  • the recess includes also a front edge 604 on which the front edge of the lower part is supported of the wing to stop the stroke within the fixed angle of inclination angle ⁇ ( Figures 7 and 7A).
  • the insert can be easily integrated into a flexible type shoe or boot construction, which includes a bootie internal flexible foam for example, a rod 91 formed of several layers flexible 910, 920.
  • the wings 3, 4 of the insert are housed in a pocket between the internal layer 910 and external layer 920 of the rod.
  • the pockets are closed by sewing, welding 922 or any other means of the layers 910, 920 therebetween. So the movement of the wings causes a general deformation of the flexible structure of the shoe.
  • FIG. 8 also shows that each lateral wing 3, 4 has a low inertia according to the axis A-A conducive to lateral bending while the inertia along the axis B-B is maximum to favor a resistant rear support even in case of transfer of significant practitioner's weight backwards.
  • the upper portions of the wings are not necessarily plates flat but can be slightly curved.
  • the curve can be given for improve comfort but also to increase the rigidity in lateral bending of wings.
  • the wings 3, 4 can ultimately have various general shapes significantly different from those shown by way of example. They can also be perforated for example partly in the region of the upper portion to allow passage of the malleolus and avoid any problem of discomfort.
  • the basic element and the lateral wings which are articulated on this element are of preferably made of rigid or semi-rigid plastic material reinforced or not.
  • the insert also comprises two wires or traction strips 93, 94 one end of which is connected to one of the upper portions 31, 41 of the wings side 3, 4 and the other end is connected to a shoe element located at near the forefoot.
