Abstract

The boot (1) which has a fixing (4) for a snowboard (3) comprises a rear support cover (7). The boot has a relatively supple upper (6) which fits in the rear cover support. The upper has means for dividing the pressure exerted on the bottom of the wearer's leg when the upper is supported in the cover. These devices are constituted by a rigid plate (8) fastened to a rear zone more flexible than the upper and insulated from the boot rigid part. The pressure distributing plate is located in a central zone of the upper rear part.

Description

La présente invention concerne une chaussure de sport destinée à être associée à une planche de glisse, pour la pratique du surf sur la neige, la chaussure comprenant une tige solidaire d'une semelle destinée à coopérer avec la planche.The present invention relates to a sports shoe intended to be associated with a gliding board, for the practice of snowboarding, the shoe comprising a rod secured to a sole intended to cooperate with the board.

Pour la pratique de cette discipline, il existe plusieurs types de chaussures.For the practice of this discipline, there are several types of shoes.

C'est ainsi que sont connues des chaussures rigides, attachées à la planche par un système d'étrier avant et arrière et dont la commande de verrouillage est située sur l'un des étriers avec une action manuelle ou automatique.This is how rigid shoes are known, attached to the board by a front and rear stirrup system and the locking control of which is located on one of the stirrups with manual or automatic action.

Sont également connues des chaussures souples, s'insérant dans une coque fixée à la planche, cette coque comportant un certain nombre de sangles destinées à solidariser la chaussure et la coque.Are also known flexible shoes, fitting into a shell fixed to the board, this shell comprising a number of straps intended to secure the shoe and the shell.

L'inconvénient lié aux chaussures rigides consiste essentiellement en ce qu'elles ne permettent pas d'obtenir certaines laxités nécessaires pour la pratique du surf. Par ailleurs, le confort est très aléatoire du fait de leur concept et des matériaux rigides utilisés. De plus, la fonction "marche" est inadaptée alors qu'elle est particulièrement nécessaire et utile à un surfeur. Dans le deuxième cas, si les chaussures souples s'avèrent particulièrement confortables pour la marche, en revanche, la complémentarité chaussures souples avec des coques rigides est peu satisfaisante du fait du volume dissuasif des coques sur la planche et un certain inconfort directement lié à la mauvaise tenue de pied et à la présence de contacts ponctuels entre la tige souple et les parties rigides de la coque.The drawback associated with rigid shoes consists essentially in that they do not make it possible to obtain certain laxities necessary for the practice of surfing. In addition, comfort is very uncertain due to their concept and the rigid materials used. In addition, the "walking" function is unsuitable when it is particularly necessary and useful for a surfer. In the second case, if flexible shoes prove to be particularly comfortable for walking, on the other hand, the complementarity of flexible shoes with rigid shells is unsatisfactory due to the dissuasive volume of the shells on the board and a certain discomfort directly linked to the poor footing and the presence of punctual contacts between the flexible rod and the rigid parts of the shell.

Une solution proposée dans le brevet américain n° 5 356 170 vise à trouver un compromis permettant l'utilisation d'une chaussure souple avec une coque liée à la planche qui est d'un encombrement limité.A solution proposed in US Patent No. 5,356,170 aims to find a compromise allowing the use of a flexible shoe with a shell linked to the board which is of limited size.

En fait, le dispositif proposé consiste à prévoir à l'arrière d'un dispositif de fixation de la chaussure un capot d'appui arrière relativement rigide, solidaire de la planche par l'intermédiaire des moyens de fixation permettant ainsi à l'utilisateur d'y prendre appui lors d'une prise de carre arrière.In fact, the proposed device consists in providing at the rear of a device for fixing the boot a relatively rigid rear support cover, integral with the board by means of the fixing means thus allowing the user to support it when taking a rear edge.

Ceci apporte des avantages certains dans la pratique de ce sport mais néanmoins certains inconvénients sont apparus a l'usage.This brings certain advantages in the practice of this sport but nevertheless certain disadvantages have appeared with use.

En effet, la difficulté réside dans le fait de trouver un juste compromis dans le rayon de courbure dans un plan de coupe horizontal dudit capot d'appui arrière. En effet, si celui-ci est trop enveloppant par rapport à la tige de la chaussure, celle-ci ne pourra pas bénéficier d'une laxité latérale suffisante dans certaines positions lors de la pratique du surf.Indeed, the difficulty lies in finding a fair compromise in the radius of curvature in a horizontal section plane of said rear support cover. Indeed, if the latter is too enveloping with respect to the upper of the shoe, the latter will not be able to benefit from sufficient lateral laxity in certain positions during the practice of surfing.

Par contre, si pour éviter cet inconvénient on donne à la section correspondante du capot en question une forme relativement plate, dans ce cas la tige souple de la chaussure s'appuyant contre une zone plate va concentrer une pression importante sur une surface de contact faible correspondant globalement à une génératrice de la tige de la chaussure de rayon beaucoup plus faible, d'où une pression importante sur le bas de jambe synonyme d'inconfort et de douleurs.On the other hand, if, to avoid this drawback, the corresponding section of the hood in question is given a relatively flat shape, in this case the flexible upper of the shoe pressing against a flat area will concentrate significant pressure on a small contact surface generally corresponding to a generative of the upper of the shoe with a much smaller radius, hence a significant pressure on the lower leg synonymous with discomfort and pain.

On pourrait également penser que les chaussures, type chaussures de ski de fond à collier rigide articulé, pourraient remédier aux inconvénients précités en supprimant le capot d'appui arrière cité. En fait, il n'en serait rien, car que de telles chaussures soient associées ou non à un capot d'appui arrière rigide, il n'en reste pas moins vrai que la rigidité du collier de celles-ci limite de manière trop importante les laxités latérales nécessaires à la pratique du surf. De plus, ces chaussures sont beaucoup moins adaptées à l'exercice de la marche en raison de la présence du collier qui rigidifie la tige de la chaussure.One might also think that boots, such as cross-country ski boots with an articulated rigid collar, could remedy the aforementioned drawbacks by eliminating the cited rear support cover. In fact, this would not be the case, because whether or not such shoes are associated with a rigid rear support hood, the fact remains that the rigidity of the collar thereof limits too much the lateral laxities necessary for the practice of surfing. In addition, these shoes are much less suitable for walking because of the presence of the collar which stiffens the upper of the shoe.

Il n'a pas été possible de trouver un compromis satisfaisant pour résoudre lse problèmes qui viennent d'être énoncés.It has not been possible to find a satisfactory compromise to resolve the problems which have just been stated.

La présente invention permet d'y parvenir en proposant une chaussure de sport destinée à être associée à une planche de glisse pour la pratique du surf sur la neige, par l'intermédiaire d'un moyen de fixation comprenant un capot d'appui arrière relativement rigide, ladite chaussure comprenant une tige relativement souple susceptible de coopérer avec le capot d'appui arrière, caractérisée en ce que la tige comporte des moyens de répartition de la pression exercée sur le bas de jambe de l'utilisateur lors d'une prise d'appui de la tige sur ledit capot, ces moyens étant constitués par une plaque relativement rigide rapportée dans une zone arrière plus souple de la tige et isolée de toute partie rigide de la chaussure, de manière à préserver la souplesse de la tige.The present invention makes it possible to achieve this by proposing a sports shoe intended to be associated with a gliding board for the practice of snowboarding, by means of a fixing means comprising a relatively rear support cover. rigid, said shoe comprising a relatively flexible rod capable of cooperating with the rear support cover, characterized in that the rod comprises means for distributing the pressure exerted on the user's lower leg when the rod is supported on said cover, these means being constituted by a relatively rigid plate attached to a more flexible rear region of the upper and isolated from any rigid part of the shoe, so as to preserve the flexibility of the upper.

On comprend bien qu'avec une telle chaussure dont on a laissé à sa tige le maximum de zone souple, celle-ci conserve une liberté de mouvement dans toutes les directions, autorisant ainsi toute laxité latérale lors de la pratique du surf et toute sa souplesse pour la marche.It is easy to understand that with such a shoe, the maximum flexible zone of which has been left to its upper, it retains freedom of movement in all directions, thus allowing any lateral laxity during the practice of surfing and all its flexibility. for walking.

Ces différents avantages n'excluent pas d'éviter, grâce à la présence de la plaque de répartition de pression, une concentration de cette pression à l'arrière de la chaussure provoquant généralement douleur et mauvais confort dans cette zone du mollet de l'utilisateur.These various advantages do not exclude avoiding, thanks to the presence of the pressure distribution plate, a concentration of this pressure at the back of the shoe generally causing pain and poor comfort in this area of the user's calf. .

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 should 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 est une vue en perspective arrière d'une chaussure selon l'invention;
  • la figure 2 est une vue de la chaussure selon la figure 1 montée sur une planche de glisse par l'intermédiaire de moyens de fixation amovibles et comportant un capot d'appui arrière;
  • la figure 3 est une vue de dessus selon la figure 2.
This description given by way of nonlimiting example will make it easier to understand how the invention can be implemented, with reference to the attached drawings in which:
  • Figure 1 is a rear perspective view of a shoe according to the invention;
  • Figure 2 is a view of the boot according to Figure 1 mounted on a gliding board by means of removable fastening means and comprising a rear support cover;
  • FIG. 3 is a top view according to FIG. 2.

La chaussure 1 représentée sur les figures est constituée par une semelle externe 2 destinée à être fixée sur une planche de glisse 3 par l'intermédiaire d'un dispositif de fixation constitué par un berceau rigide intermédiaire disposé entre la semelle 2 de la chaussure 1 et la planche 3.The shoe 1 shown in the figures is constituted by an outer sole 2 intended to be fixed on a gliding board 3 by means of a fixing device constituted by a rigid intermediate cradle disposed between the sole 2 of the shoe 1 and Plate 3.

La semelle externe 2 de la chaussure 1 est surmontée d'un contrefort arrière de talon 5 pouvant être rigide ou semi-rigide, se prolongeant vers le bas de jambe d'un utilisateur par une tige 6 relativement souple, susceptible de coopérer avec un capot d'appui arrière 7 relativement rigide, solidaire de la planche 3 par l'intermédiaire du dispositif de fixation 4 formant berceau. Le rôle du contrefort 5, connu en soi, est essentiellement celui d'une pièce résistante à l'usure. Il peut être en cuir, caoutchouc ou plastique.The outer sole 2 of shoe 1 is surmounted by a rear heel counter 5 which may be rigid or semi-rigid, extending down the leg of a user by a relatively flexible rod 6, capable of cooperating with a relatively rigid rear support cover 7, integral with the board 3 by means of the fixing device 4 forming a cradle. The role of the buttress 5, known per se, is essentially that of a wear-resistant part. It can be leather, rubber or plastic.

Le dispositif de fixation 4 associé au capot d'appui arrière 7 est du type décrit dans le brevet américain n° 5 356 170 et par conséquent, il ne sera pas plus amplement décrit ici. La forme du capot d'appui 7, en coupe selon un plan horizontal, est légèrement galbé, sans être trop enveloppant pour permettre une libre flexion latérale de la chaussure.The fastening device 4 associated with the rear support cover 7 is of the type described in US Patent No. 5,356,170 and therefore will not be described more fully here. The shape of the support cover 7, in section along a horizontal plane, is slightly curved, without being too enveloping to allow free lateral bending of the shoe.

Selon l'invention, la tige 6 comporte des moyens de répartition de la pression exercée sur le bas de jambe de l'utilisateur lors d'une prise d'appui arrière de la tige 6 sur le capot 7.According to the invention, the rod 6 comprises means for distributing the pressure exerted on the lower leg of the user when the rear rod 6 is supported on the cover 7.

Ces moyens sont constitués par une plaque relativement rigide 8 rapportée dans une zone arrière souple de la tige 6.These means consist of a relatively rigid plate 8 attached to a flexible rear region of the rod 6.

La plaque rigide de répartition 8 est isolée de toute autre partie rigide de la chaussure comme par exemple, du contrefort 5.The rigid distribution plate 8 is isolated from any other rigid part of the shoe, for example from the buttress 5.

Ceci est essentiel à l'invention de manière à préserver la souplesse de la tige d'où sa liberté de mouvement dans toutes les directions et plus particulièrement en laxité latérale.This is essential to the invention so as to preserve the flexibility of the rod, hence its freedom of movement in all directions and more particularly in lateral laxity.

Comme déjà évoqué, la chaussure conservera également toutes ses caractéristiques de souplesse nécessaire à une marche aisée et confortable.As already mentioned, the shoe will also retain all of its flexibility characteristics necessary for easy and comfortable walking.

Lorsque la tige souple 6 prend appui sur le capot arrière 7 en un point P, symbolisant en fait une génératrice verticale de contact, lors d'une prise de carre arrière par exemple, cette pression, au lieu d'être transmise selon ladite génératrice, sera en fait répartie sur la plaque de répartition 8.When the flexible rod 6 bears on the rear cover 7 at a point P, in fact symbolizing a vertical contact generator, during a rear edge grip for example, this pressure, instead of being transmitted according to said generator, will actually be distributed on the distribution plate 8.

A noter également que la plaque 8 est conformée de façon à pouvoir épouser plus ou moins la forme du mollet pour une répartition de pression importante et améliorer le confort.Note also that the plate 8 is shaped so that it can more or less match the shape of the calf for a significant pressure distribution and improve comfort.

En règle générale, plus la forme de la plaque sera enveloppante par rapport à celle du mollet, plus la pression susceptible d'être supportée par l'utilisateur sera grande.In general, the more enveloping the shape of the plate relative to that of the calf, the greater the pressure likely to be supported by the user.

En conséquence, la plaque de répartition 8 sera plus galbée que le capot d'appui arrière, en section selon un plan horizontal.Consequently, the distribution plate 8 will be more curved than the rear support cover, in section along a horizontal plane.

Selon une autre caractéristique de l'invention, la plaque de répartition 8 sera située dans une zone relativement centrale de la partie arrière de la tige 6.According to another characteristic of the invention, the distribution plate 8 will be located in a relatively central area of the rear part of the rod 6.

Egalement, selon une autre caractéristique de l'invention, la plaque rigide 8 se développe suivant une surface telle à permettre une répartition suffisante de la pression, tout en préservant suffisamment de surface souple de la tige 6 pour que celle-ci conserve une souplesse maximum relative.Also, according to another characteristic of the invention, the rigid plate 8 develops along a surface such as to allow a sufficient distribution of the pressure, while preserving sufficient flexible surface of the rod 6 so that the latter retains maximum flexibility relative.

Selon l'exemple de réalisation représenté sur les figures, la plaque de répartition de la pression 8 est rapportée fixement sur la tige 6.According to the embodiment shown in the figures, the pressure distribution plate 8 is fixedly attached to the rod 6.

En fait, la plaque de répartition 8 est cousue sur la tige 6 par l'intermédiaire d'une couture 10.In fact, the distribution plate 8 is sewn onto the rod 6 by means of a seam 10.

Bien entendu, la fixation de la plaque de répartition 8 pourra être collée sur la tige 6 plutôt que cousue.Of course, the fixing of the distribution plate 8 can be glued to the rod 6 rather than sewn.

L'invention envisage également de rapporter la plaque de répartition de la pression 8 sur la tige 6, de manière amovibleThe invention also contemplates bringing the pressure distribution plate 8 onto the rod 6, removably

Dans ce cas, la plaque de répartition de la pression 8 est rapportée sur la tige 6 par des moyens de clippage (non représentés) disposés complémentairement, d'une part sur la face interne de ladite plaque 8 et sur la face arrière externe de la tige 6 d'autre part.In this case, the pressure distribution plate 8 is attached to the rod 6 by clipping means (not shown) arranged additionally, on the one hand on the internal face of said plate 8 and on the external rear face of the rod 6 on the other hand.

Toujours selon le principe d'une plaque de répartition 8 pouvant être rendue amovible, celle-ci est rapportée dans une poche correspondante (non représentée) réalisée sur la face arrière externe de la tige 6.Still according to the principle of a distribution plate 8 which can be made removable, it is attached in a corresponding pocket (not shown) produced on the external rear face of the rod 6.

La plaque de répartition 8 peut être prévue dans des matériaux plastiques présentant un faible coefficient de frottement afin de limiter les frottements entre la chaussure et le capot d'appui arrière 7 et diminuer l'usure de cette région de la chaussure, en particulier de la partie de tige au contact de la plaque 8.The distribution plate 8 can be provided in plastic materials having a low coefficient of friction in order to limit the friction between the shoe and the rear support cover 7 and reduce the wear of this region of the shoe, in particular of the part of rod in contact with plate 8.
