Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a sports shoe in which the functions of clamping and protection of the foot are carried out by the use of a clamping device cooperating with at least one movable flap external to the rod and intended to be applied against the latter.
  • Sports shoes known of this type such as those described in the patents GB 160 318, GB 363 008, FR 569 694, FR 2 694 167 and GB 1 545 475 have their stem usually with a front longitudinal opening on the top and are adjustable on the foot by bringing the edges of the opening, i.e. the sides of the stem, closer together means of a clamping device capable of implementing at least one movable flap.
  • Phone that taught, the and / or the movable flaps extend freely on the corresponding sides of the stem from a fastening zone distant from the anterior longitudinal opening, and located at the level of the sole of the shoe.
  • the wall of the shoe is provided of a double thickness at the place of the shutter because it is constituted by the wall of the side of the rod and that of the flap which overlap.
  • the wall of the shoe thus presents, at the place of each movable flap, an increased resistance notably improving the protection of the foot compared to the outside, especially against impact.
  • a movable flap also allows, and in a selective manner according to the rod area where it extends, to distribute a large part of the clamping stresses on this last instead of being basically and globally on the stem as is the case in classic shoes where the lacing exerts a direct pulling action on the latter.
  • these shoes with at least one movable flap ensure good protection and a tightening of the foot without direct pulling action on the rod at the location of the and / or flaps mobile since it is the latter which are subject to the clamping device.
  • the present invention aims to remedy these drawbacks of the aforementioned shoes and proposes in particular a clamping device cooperating with a movable flap making it possible to transmit almost the clamping force applied to it in the direction of the rod and therefore of the foot and does not having no projecting part on the side of the upper of the shoe.
  • Another object is to maintain at the location of the movable flap, a tightening function which is independent of the stem, that is to say without direct action on the latter, and which is referred more by compared to the sole thanks to the situation of the attachment zone of the flap close to the latter.
  • the invention also aims to reduce the friction which occurs between the movable flap and the rod to optimize the performance of the clamping device.
  • Yet another object is to produce a tightening assembly which can constitute a model of standard tightening for a certain number of shoe sizes.
  • the shoe has a sole on which is mounted a rod provided with a front longitudinal opening on the top, the rod being adjustable on the foot by approximation of the edges of the longitudinal opening by means of a clamping device works at least one movable flap which extends freely on the side of the rod from an area fastening located at the sole, and is characterized by the fact that the upper is on the side where the movable flap is located, a transverse cut of width at least greater than that of said flap and which goes from the sole to the anterior longitudinal opening where it opens. This cut transverse is closed from inside the rod by a thin flexible plate obtained in a relatively strong material, such as plastic for example.
  • the movable flap is housed in the transverse cut by applying to the thin flexible plate during a clamping action exerted on it by the clamping device and therefore no longer constitutes a protruding part on the side of the upper susceptible to premature wear with respect to the shoe considered as a whole.
  • the movable flap is obtained like the thin flexible plate, in a material plastic in order to reduce on the one hand, the friction which intervenes between it and the wall of the rod in correspondence, that is to say the flexible plate, and on the other hand, the risks of deformation, such as folds that could occur due to external tightening; as a result, the stem of the shoe lends itself better to tightening because the tightening force applied to the tightening device is almost entirely restored by the rod on the foot and the resistance of the wall of the rod by connection to the outside is preserved thanks to the use of plastic material for the flexible plate.
  • the shoe thus designed retains the advantages of known shoes comprising a device tightening using a movable flap as described above without presenting the disadvantages including those relating to the dosage of the clamping force on the foot and the deterioration of the movable flap.
  • the transverse cutout and the movable flap are located between the end and the rear of the shoe, substantially in correspondence of the instep area so that the tightening is more effective and in particular that it returns the heel of the wearer in the case of the back of the shoe.
  • the thin flexible plate and the movable flap each have a tab fixing directed on the side of the sole of the shoe which tab is intended to allow their mounting in engagement with the sole, at the latter.
  • their mounting in socket with the sole is made on the first assembly. So when the movable flap is implemented by the clamping device, the clamping effect transmitted by the flap on the rod is felt on the foot from the level of the sole and gradually to the instep.
  • plastic materials used for the movable shutter and the thin flexible plate are designed to be compatible with that constituting the sole when they are assembled by a common bonding process.
  • the thin flexible plate has on the one hand, side edges which extend under the edges which delimit the transverse cut and which are intended to allow fixing it by any known means, such as stitching, gluing, etc., and on the other hand, a border upper which constitutes at least a portion of the corresponding edge of the longitudinal opening anterior of the stem.
  • this upper edge of the flexible plate is extended and on the other side of the transverse opening and comprises, outside the area occupied by the movable flap, at least one loop at the eyelet for a lacing link of the tightening device.
  • An embodiment consists in particular of making a flexible plate with an upper border which, extending over all the length of the anterior longitudinal opening constitutes one of the edges of the latter.
  • the upper edge of the flexible plate is provided with several loops or eyelets, in particular on the side of the toe and in the area above the instep, commonly known as the bend fold area.
  • the thin flexible plate comprises at least one bead which follows at minus the contour of the edges which delimit the transverse cut, this bead interposed between the respective edges of the transverse cut and the movable flap and having a height substantially corresponding to the thickness of the wall of the rod at the location of the transverse cut and to the thickness of the wall of the movable flap.
  • a clamping device using at least one flap movable on a transverse cut closed by a thin flexible plate, as described above, is located on each side of the upper of the shoe.
  • the shoe has a structure overall consisting of three parts, that is to say a tip that covers the forefoot, a rear that fits the heel, and a clamping assembly which, interposed between the toe and the back ensures the assembly of the whole stem. It follows from such a structure that it suffices to vary the dimension of the end and the back of the shoe, and of the sole obviously, to cover several sizes without it being necessary to change the dimension of the clamping assembly.
  • the clamping assembly can therefore constitute a standard model of tightening for a certain number of shoe sizes.
  • the two plates thin flexible parts with a flat and elongated part, of contour substantially corresponding to that of the foot, which constitutes "the first assembly".
  • This flat and elongated part can obviously have, on at least a portion of its contour, a lateral reinforcing rim for the rod, forming possibly the buttress when this rim is placed in the heel area.
  • an extremely efficient tightening assembly is obtained because a real synergy and / or interaction between him and the "first assembly” part which is, in fact, the "floor” of the shoe.
  • the shoe can also be produced with a single thin flexible plate obtained of a part with the part constituting the first assembly.
  • Figure 1 shows, in perspective view, the shoe with a tightening device with a flap movable on each side of the rod in the closed position.
  • Figure 2 shows illustrates, in partial exploded view, the shoe of Figure 1 with some of his characteristics.
  • Figure 3 is a sectional view along line III-III of the shoe of Figure 1 showing a detail of construction.
  • FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view of the shoe of FIG. 1, along the line IV-IV, illustrating a movable flap in position pressed against the corresponding flank of the rod and a movable flap in the open position.
  • FIG. 5 illustrates an embodiment of a characteristic element of the invention.
  • the shoe shown by way of example in FIG. 1 is of the so-called "multi-activity" type and comprises, in known manner, an outer sole 1 on which is mounted a rod 2 having a toe 11 which covers the forefoot and a rear 12 which fits the heel.
  • Rod 2 has an opening anterior longitudinal 3 on top, delimited by edges 4 and 5 which form the end upper sidewalls 6 and 7 of the rod 2.
  • This opening 3 is intended to allow the passage of the foot of the wearer, not shown, during putting on and taking off and allowing the adjustment of the upper 2 on the foot by bringing its edges 4 and 5 together by means of a tightening device 8, with a lace 9 and eyelets 22, 23, 24, 25, implementing on each of the sides 6 and 7 a movable flap 10.
  • Each movable flap 10 extends freely on the corresponding flank 6, 7 of the rod 2 from a zone of mounting 41 located at the level of the sole 1, that is to say remote from the longitudinal opening 3.
  • the shutter 10 is subjected to a tightening action of the tightening device 8 with lace 9 to which it is connected via its eyelets 25, it is pressed against the side 6, 7 causing the tightening of the latter towards the foot, and this without exerting a direct pulling action on the rod 2.
  • the rod 2 comprises, on each side 6, 7, and facing each movable flap 10, a transverse cut 13 closed from inside the rod 2 by a thin flexible plate 18.
  • the edges 14 and 15 of this cutout transverse 13, are spaced apart by a width A at least greater than that A ′ of the lateral edges 16 and 17 of the movable flap 10 so that during the clamping action on the flap 10 it fits in the cutout 13 and comes flush with the outer surface of the rod 2 while tightening the sidewall 6, 7, this by pressing against the flexible plate 18 placed below, as shown in detail in the figure 3.
  • the thin flexible plate 18 is obtained, like the flap 10, from a relatively material resistant such as plastic, and its lateral edges 19, 20, extend under the edges 14 and 15 of the cutout 13 to allow its fixing by any known means such as by gluing, stitching, ... etc.
  • the upper edge 21 of each flexible plate 18 extends on either side edges 14 and 15 of the transverse cut 13 and constitutes almost all of the corresponding edge 4 or 5 of the longitudinal opening 3 so that passers-by or eyelets 22, 23 and / or 24 can be reported and fixed on it.
  • the upper edge 21 of the plate flexible 18 is in particular provided with a pass 22 located on one side of the end 11 of the rod 2 and a loop 23 located towards the rear 12 in the area of the bending fold indicated by the reference 28, that is to say above the instep.
  • the transverse cut 13 extends from the sole 1 up to the longitudinal opening 3, as illustrated in FIG. 2, so that the flexible plate 18 as well as the movable flap 10 can be mounted, 41, in engagement with the sole 1 and at its level for example by via a fixing lug respectively 26, 27.
  • the thin flexible plate 18 and the movable flap 10 are mounted on the "first assembly" 42.
  • the clamping device 8 implements the movable flap 10
  • the clamping effect is felt on the foot at from the level of sole 1 which serves as a reference.
  • the rod 2 of the shoe is actually divided into three separate parts, that is to say a toe part shoe 11, a rear part 12 and an intermediate part consisting of a "tightening assembly" on each side 6, 7, this assembly comprising the cutout 13, the plate 18 and the movable flap 10.
  • each transverse cut 13 is made, on each flank 6, 7, between the end 11 and the rear 12 of the rod 2 in correspondence of the instep area. Of the so tightening has the effect of returning the heel of the wearer in the socket of the rear 12.
  • the thin flexible plate 18 has a bead 31 which follows at least the contour of the edges 14 and 15 of the transverse cut 13.
  • This bead 31 is interposed laterally between the edges 14 and 15 of the cutout 13 and those 16 and 17 of the movable flap 10 and has a height substantially corresponding to the thickness of the wall of the rod 2 at the location of the cutout 13 and at the thickness of the wall of the movable flap 10.
  • shoe according to the invention may have an inner lining 33 of comfort as shown in Figures 2 and 3.
  • aeration-ventilation means or systems may obviously be adapted to the described clamping assembly and in particular to the thin flexible plate 18 without departing from the scope of the invention.
  • at least a thin flexible plate 18 can be obtained in one piece with a flat and elongated part 43, of contour substantially corresponding to that of the foot, which constitutes "the first mounting".
  • a clamping device 8 with movable flap 10 and flexible plate 18 is implemented on each side 6, 7, these are the two flexible plates 18 which are obtained in one piece with the part 43 forming the first assembly. This gives a very homogeneous tightening assembly because its different components, flap 10, plate 18, device 8 and first of cleanliness 43 interact between them.
  • the shape of the cutout 13 and / or of the movable flap 10 is limited by edges 14, 15 and 16, 17, which can, as desired, be parallel or not, one 14, 16, with respect to the other 15, 17, or some 14, 15, compared to others 16, 17.
  • the opening 13 as the flap 10 may have a shape which will widen from the sole 1 towards the opening 3 towards the end 11 and / or the rear 12 of the rod 2.
