Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a foot arch for footwear such as a sports shoe comprising a sole surmounted by a rod, provided with an opening to allow the passage of the foot of a user and having means of closure and tightening.
  • Said sole includes an external part intended to be in contact with the ground or with a sport accessory such as cross-country skiing, alpine skiing, classic skating or inline skating.
  • Such an article of footwear also generally comprises a part of the inner sole called an inner sole or of comfort disposed directly under the foot of the user. It is known to produce on this internal part of the sole a support zone for the arch of said user.
  • Such support parts of the arch are widely distributed and generally consist of a boss on the inner sole, made of a more or less flexible and elastic material but according to a standard profile for a given type of shoe.
  • the American patent n ° 2 075 942 proposes a support part of a plantar arch comprising adjustment means in a longitudinal direction so as to better adapt to the morphology of a given user.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide improved means for adjusting a plantar arch, in particular allowing better adaptation to the arch of each foot.
  • the present invention relates to this effect an article of footwear such as a sports shoe comprising a sole surmounted by a rod, the article of footwear comprising on an internal surface a support part of the arch of said user, characterized in that said support part is constituted by a flexible, elastically deformable element arranged in connection between the internal surface and an internal lateral flank of the rod, and in that it comprises means for adjusting the volume which it defines with the rod, along at least one plane transverse to the longitudinal axis of the footwear, to modify and adapt it to the benefit of the arch of a user as a function of the curve and the camber thereof, in the limits of a predetermined setting range.
  • the present invention also relates to the characteristics which will emerge during the description which follows, and which should be considered in isolation or according to all their possible technical combinations.
  • the sports shoe 1 shown in Figure 1 has a sole 2 designated as a whole, surmounted by a rod 3 (not shown in full in the figure).
  • the sole 2 and the rod 3 shown in the figures form a one-piece shell-shaped part.
  • These two shoe parts could also consist of completely separate elements subsequently assembled by gluing, sewing, etc..
  • the rod 3 could also be constituted by a so-called flexible rod.
  • Said sole 2 comprises an outer sole part 4 and an inner support surface 5 disposed directly under the foot and carrying a support part 6 of the arch of said user commonly called arch.
  • a so-called comfort insole (not shown in the drawing) can be interposed between said parts 5, 6, and the user's foot.
  • the support part 6 is constituted by a flexible, elastically deformable element, disposed between the internal surface 5 and an internal lateral flank 3a of said rod 3.
  • internal lateral flank here is meant the flank of the rod located on the medial side of the foot.
  • the support part 6 comprises means 10 for adjusting the volume which it defines with the internal surface 5 and the rod 3.
  • this profile is modified, hence the volume which it delimits to adapt it to the profile of the arch of the user as a function of the curve thereof, and this , within the limits of a predetermined setting range.
  • the support part 6 is constituted by a plurality of transverse support blades 7 and 8 elastically deformable and extending on either side of an arc-shaped part or longitudinal central arch 9, connecting these support blades 7, 8, the ends 7a, 8b, of these support blades being freely in contact with, on the one hand, the internal lateral wall 3a of the rod 3 and on the other hand, with the inner surface 5 on which they are able to slide freely, said arch 9 also being elastically deformable in transverse direction between two fixing end points 9a, 9b, arranged on the rod 3 or on the inner surface 5 by means of adjustment means 10 acting on at least one 16 of the support blades.
  • the adjustment means 10 are constituted by a control screw 11 housed transversely under the inner sole 5 and of which a head 12 is supported on a rigid fixed external part of the shoe 1, while its other threaded end 13 is in connection with a threaded end 15 of a control blade 16 also coming from the arch 9, so that an action on the control screw 11 in one direction or another, makes it possible to modify the position in transverse direction of the arch 9 and consequently allows said arch 9, and therefore the support blades 7 and 8 integral with the latter to be adapted to the transverse profile of the foot arch of the user.
  • control screw 11 passes through the sole 2 in its thickness and its head 12 is supported on a lateral edge thereof.
  • the freedom left at the ends of the blades 7 and 8 has the advantage of allowing them to deform freely to conform to the profile of the arch of the user and not to become annoying or even hurtful when the latter this increases its support, during a push for example.
  • control blade 16 is also elastically deformable but that it is of an elastic flexibility lower than that of the support blades 7 and 8.
  • the support blades 7 and 8 will be of variable length, decreasing towards the ends 9a, 9b, of the middle arch 9.
  • the support part 6 consisting of the arch 9, the support blades 7 and 8 and the control blade 16 is preferably obtained in one piece by cutting a flank of plastic material.
  • this support part 6 can be obtained by molding a plastic material.
  • the difference in rigidity of the various constituent parts can be obtained by varying the thicknesses.
  • the overall flexibility of the support part 6 will be determined in relation to the sport to be practiced and by playing as above on the thickness or the nature of the materials but also on the length, the arrangement and the number of blades 7 and 8 arranged on either side of the arch.
  • FIGS. 3 to 5 illustrate the incorporation of the adjustment system 20 of a plantar arch according to the invention into an internal sole 22, said internal sole 22 comprising an upper bearing surface intended to receive the foot and defining the surface d 'inner support 25 of said foot.
  • this sole 22 includes a deformable zone 26 constituted by transverse tongues 27 arranged in a fan shape and separated by slots 28.
  • This system 20 consists of a part 29 in the form of a flexible and elastically deformable arc, arranged along the contour of a plantar arch, below the deformable zone 26. This part 29 is anchored at each end, respectively at 29a, 29b, on either side of the arch area, on the underside 21 of the sole.
  • the anchors 29a, 29b are provided so as to allow a certain deformation of the arc-shaped part 29 in a direction perpendicular to the plane of the sole.
  • a control blade 36 extends substantially radially from the middle of the arc-shaped part 29, in a substantially transverse direction of the sole.
  • Locking means 36a for example of the self-gripping type, are provided at the free end of the control blade 36 and cooperate with complementary locking means of the internal face of the sole for immobilizing said blade relative to to said sole.
  • a traction along T on the control blade 36 that is to say in the direction of the external or lateral side (as opposed to medial) of the sole, will cause a setting under tension of the arc-shaped part 29 which will then deform in the vertical direction, that is to say upwards relative to the inner sole 22, consequently lifting the tabs 27 located above.
  • the deformation of the arch area of the sole can be modified and adapted to the morphology of the user.
  • Such an insole construction is particularly suitable for shoes with flexible upper.
  • the nature of the support offered by the arch area can be modified depending on the material and the shape of the arch.
