Definitions

  • the present invention relates generally to a sports shoe such as sports sliding, or other sport requiring the transmission of specific efforts, more particularly adapted to skiing on snow, ice skating, or even skating on hard ground using classic roller skates or inline skates.
  • the shoe In the case of skating, whether on snow, ice or hard ground, the shoe has generally an outer sole intended to be made integral with the upper plate of a frame, on which the wheels are arranged, and from which extends a rod covering the foot and extending toward a skater's ankle.
  • This loss of rigidity of the shell is an essential criterion for good transmission of forces. and good stability.
  • Some shoes provide an answer to this problem by overmolding in the bottom of the shell a rigid insert tending to restore thereto the loss of rigidity caused by the elevation of aforementioned temperature.
  • Document FR 2 668 072 shows a shoe comprising an outer sole intended to be rendered integral with a sports article, a rod covering the foot and comprising an internal comfort element, the rod being composed of two parts, the first of which is made of a material constituting a cradle forming a rear envelope for housing the user's heel in the area of the heel, a second part of the upper being made of a relatively flexible material constituting a slap covering the user's foot intended to be fixedly attached to the envelope back.
  • a basketball type shoe on which a rigid reinforcement is attached such shoe is relatively expensive to manufacture).
  • the object of the present invention is to remedy the above drawbacks, and in particular to reconcile the comfort and the rigidity necessary in certain parts of the shoe with minimum costs.
  • a sports shoe in particular a sliding sport, comprising an external sole intended to be made integral with a sports article, and from which extends a rod covering the foot and comprising an element of internal comfort, the upper being made up of two parts, the first of which is made of a material relatively rigid constituting a cradle forming a rear envelope intended for housing the heel of the user and integral with the sole in the heel area, a second part of the rod being made of a relatively flexible material constituting a slap covering the the user's forefoot, intended to be fixedly attached, at its peripheral edge lower and lateral, on the one hand with the free front part of the sole and on the other hand the rim lateral peripheral of the rear casing which is integral therewith, by means of connection means.
  • Such a concept allows, without losing the qualities of wrapping and holding the foot, in a way general, to have a rigidity of the lower part of the rod or shell, and an insensitivity to temperature while having improved comfort and a more flexible and less expensive manufacturing, allowing by example of modulating the characteristics of the front and rear parts of the rod or shell according to the user and the type of practice.
  • the present invention also relates to the characteristics which will emerge during the description which will follow and which should be considered in isolation or in all their combinations possible techniques.
  • the inline skate 1 designated as a whole and shown in Figure 1, comprises a shoe 2 consisting of an outer sole 3 extending over the entire length of the foot and intended for be made integral with the upper plate 4 of a chassis 5 on which the wheels 6 are arranged, sole 3 from which extends a rod portion 7 covering the entire foot and extending towards the skater's ankle by a collar 20.
  • the sole 3 of the shoe 2 is made integral with the chassis 5 forming the upper plate horizontal 4 on which said sole 3 is fixed by means of fixing means, in the occurrence of the screws 8 passing through the plate 4 to be screwed into the lateral edges of the sole 3.
  • the chassis 5 also includes a lower part perpendicular to the plate 4 along its axis longitudinal, which is for example constituted by two vertical lateral wings 10, mutually parallel and arranged on either side of the longitudinal axis.
  • the lateral wings 10 extend respectively at their upper part by a return perpendicular 11, each of them being directed outwards and defining a plane corresponding to the horizontal plate 4.
  • the vertical lateral wings 10 define generally with the sole 3 of the shoe 2, an inverted U between the wings of which are arranged a plurality of wheels 6, for example four in number, via the transverse hinge pins 12, integral with the chassis 4 to constitute a running gear.
  • the rod 7 / sole 3 assembly is composed of two parts, a first of which 7A, 3, is made of a relatively rigid material, and constitutes a cradle forming a rear envelope 13 intended for the housing of the skater's heel and integral with the sole 3 in this zone.
  • sole 3 extends freely forwardly with respect to said rod portion 7A by part 3A.
  • a second part of this rod 7 / sole 3 assembly is constituted by a monobloc shell end-piece made of a relatively flexible material comprising a sole part 3B and a slap part 7B intended to cover the skater's forefoot.
  • the sole portion 3B is preferably designed as a half sole intended to receive the front part or plantar support area of the foot. It can also be limit to a peripheral edge of the flap 7B for its assembly to the sole 3A.
  • This toe cap is intended to be fixedly attached to the free front part 3A of the sole. 3 by its sole part 3B, on the one hand, and with lateral edges 13a of the rear casing 13 of the rod part 7A by its slap part 7B, on the other hand, by means of connection means 14.
  • the connecting means of the two parts 7A, 7B, of rod 7 or parts 3A, 3B, of the sole 3 consist of rivets 14.
  • rivets 14 could be perfectly replaced by glue, welding to ultrasound, sewing, or by any other means of connection.
  • the slap 7B for covering the forefoot has lateral notches 15 made from its lower peripheral edge or sole 3B in the direction of its upper longitudinal axis in order to provide softening and aeration of the rod 7 in the manner of a sandalette.
  • Said notches 15 generate tongues 16 whose free ends 16a are intended to be connected with the corresponding edge of the cradle 7A, 3A.
  • the upper central zone of the flexible slap 7B has an opening longitudinal 17 delimiting two transverse flaps provided with clamping means 18 intended for grip the foot after insertion into the shoe.
  • the envelope 13 of the heel constituting with the sole 3 the cradle has lateral zones on which are articulated axes 19 of the collar 20 for tightening a lower leg of a skater, extending upward in extension of the rod 7 on which it is fixed.
  • the slap 7B extends in its part upper by a collar 20A for tightening a lower leg extending upwards, beyond the malleoles of the skater, said collar 20A being in connection with the envelope 13 of the rigid part 7A or cradle, by means of articulation pins 19 arranged on lateral zones of said envelope 13.
  • both the rigid part 7A forming a cradle and the flexible slap 7B are identical and are interconnected by identical connecting means also in the embodiment described and illustrated by FIG. 2.
  • the bending of the collar 20A relative to the slap 7B is obtained thanks to a notch 21 giving a certain elasticity of the collar 20A with respect to the flap 7B, said notch 21 being disposed at the flexion fold of the user's foot.
  • the slap assembly 7B / sole 3B is produced in a material flexible enough to ensure perfect wrapping of the foot from the flexion fold of the user's foot to the toe area.
  • Said shell end piece not having to ensure rigidity and the quality of the supports, allows the use of materials at low cost, while the whole rod 7 / sole 3 is made of a sufficiently rigid material and not sensitive to variations in temperature, to ensure the quality of the necessary supports and the transmission of forces, especially in the push phase.
  • the slap 7B for covering the forefoot is closed at its lower part directed towards the sole 3, by a plantar support 3B doubling the latter over its entire length and extending to the heel by a rear portion 3C.
  • the the sole parts 3A, 3B are joined together in the front zone 3A of said sole 3, simultaneously with the assembly of part 7A with said slap 7B.
  • the rear part 3C of the plantar support 3B remains free in the direction of the envelope 13 of the heel of the rigid cradle 7A by compared to sole 3.
  • an anti-vibration device 22, constituted by a viscoelastic material is interposed between the sole 3 from the cradle 7A and the rear part 3C of the plantar support 3B coming from the slap 7B, at the level of the heel. This allows shock absorption over a larger area of the foot.
  • a device 23 for adjusting the position angle of the skater's foot with respect to the ground, acting on the height difference ⁇ h between the support of the heel T and the plantar support 3B of the skater's foot, is interposed between the sole 3 coming from the cradle 7A and the rear part 3C of the plantar support 3B coming from the vamp 7B, at the heel.
  • the adjustment device 23 is constituted by a wedge-shaped wedge 24, interposed between the sole 3 of the rigid cradle 7A and a part 25 corresponding under the rear part 3C of the plantar support 3B from the slap 7B.
  • Said wedge 24 is capable of being actuated in a longitudinal direction by means of a member maneuvered 26 passing through a rear part of the casing 13 and bearing on it.
  • the plantar support 3B coming from the slap 7B defines longitudinal ribs 27 open upwards and at the front of the flap 7B is provided a zone 28 for external air capture, in relation to said ribs 27 which constitute means air channeling to the internal volume of the rod 7 with which they communicate.
  • the slap 7B is obtained at starting from a relatively flexible material in a single piece with the sole part 3B. She can also be made at least partially of fabric.
  • the fabric can be with large mesh forming a net.
  • the cradle 7A is made of a material rigid plastic.
  • the rod 7 has an internal comfort element (not shown).
  • This element of comfort can be a removable one-piece liner.
