Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the field of sports shoes; in particularly the field of technical footwear of the hiking, surfing type snow, inline skating, paragliding, etc.
  • a sports shoe of the aforementioned type traditionally comprises a sole and an upper provided with an opening for the passage of the foot and comprising on either side of this opening return means or passers-by who cooperate with one or more tightening means such as a lace to ensure by tightening, the partial closing of the opening.
  • the return means located on the top of a part of the stem are under pressure under various circumstances.
  • Some snowboard boots, for example, are intended to cooperate with a binding comprising transverse straps which exert pressure on the above the foot; and therefore compress the referral means or passersby. It has been found that bulky and rigid passers-by such as metal or plastic hooks, loops or eyelets can cause hard spots; which can cause a foot pain problem and also deform the strap in places more or less permanently.
  • the document EP-A-0717942 describes a passer-by for lace made up of an external envelope and a viewfinder.
  • the internal part of the rod comprises return means which undergo a pressure from an external rod part after tightening of the latter by different means (lacing, velcro, zipper, ..). These pressures again cause discomfort or distortion of the shoe that is best avoided.
  • the clamping performance is not optimum.
  • the friction undergone by the lace is high.
  • the lace distorts the strip narrowing its width due to the deflection angle which creates additional friction and can lead to premature wear of the loop, or even at the break of it.
  • the aim of the present invention is therefore to provide a satisfactory solution to the disadvantages set out above.
  • a referral means or element which includes a guide element connected to said loop and having a surface of sliding for the passage of the clamping means inside the loop according to a passage plan P; the guide element having sufficient rigidity in plane P to resist deformation when the power is turned on clamping means.
  • Such a return means has the advantages of a limited size and significant flexibility while reducing friction with the lace; him thus ensuring a good yield and a long service life.
  • Shoe 1 is a snowboard boot comprising a flexible upper or semi-flexible 10 and a clamping device 11 of the rod.
  • the boot In the configuration shown, the boot is in position in a traditional surf binding 2 which has the particularity of comprising a base 20 intended to be attached to a board (not shown) and two straps 20, 21 which firmly hold the boot in base 20.
  • the straps 20, 21 therefore exert significant pressure locally on the clamping device; hence the need to provide suitable return means to avoid the risks of discomfort and others previously mentioned.
  • the solution involves the use of means of return 3 comprising a closed loop 30 made of flexible material resistant to traction.
  • the shoe of figure 2 has been deliberately simplified so as not to bring out that the essence of the invention.
  • the rod has a portion 110; in the anterior portion or upper, which is provided with an opening 12 delimiting two quarters 110a, 110b to be tightened.
  • the return means are distributed in opposite directions on either side of opening 12 on each quarter 110a, 110b.
  • a tightening means such as a lace 4 is provided to circulate through each loop 30 according to a crossed circuit and alternating a return means and its opposite, for example; which brings the neighborhoods towards one the other.
  • FIG. 3 which illustrates the prior art, shows the major fault caused on the means of reference.
  • the loop 30 which is in the form of a portion of strap connected to the rod portion 110, undergoes significant traction from the tightening means or lace 4.
  • the angle of return 'a' being relatively small when the loops are brought together, there is deformation of the strap by reduction of width and therefore appearance of frictional forces which oppose the sliding of the lace in the loop. This may have consequence of affecting the uniformity of the tightening, in particular at the end, when we pull on the ends of the lace. Then tighten again by pulling new on each lace strand between two loops. The operation of lacing can thus become tedious and long.
  • Figure 4 shows the solution of the invention.
  • Means of reference 3 shown includes a closed loop identical to that of Figure 3 but which is associated with a guide element 31.
  • the guide element 31 has a surface of sliding 310 for the passage of the clamping means 4 inside the loop flexible 30 along a passage plane P.
  • the function of this surface is to facilitate the passage and sliding of the clamping means 4.
  • the plane P is taken for reference in order to facilitate the explanations and corresponds approximately to the plan of the path of the lace 4 in the vicinity of each return means.
  • the plan P may vary from region to region of shoe due to the curved shape of the stem.
  • the guide element has a certain rigidity in the plane P thus defined. This rigidity must be such that the setting under tension of the clamping means cannot cause lateral deformation of the guide element and therefore does not affect the width of the strap of the loop. Thus, the guide element will have a width at least equal to that of the loop.
  • Figures 6 and 7 show the particular shape of the sliding surface intended to guide the clamping means 4 to sliding.
  • the sliding surface of the guide element has a generator of convex shape in the plane of passage P and a generator of concave shape in the plane P 'perpendicular to P.
  • the sliding is improved by the convexity according to P.
  • the throat shape thus defined in general terms is not, however, the only one possible. It is also possible to provide a tubular shape of the surface in order to guarantee yaw guidance in any radial direction.
  • the thicknesses of the lateral edges 310a, 310b of the element guidance will be provided depending on the material used so as to present a some deformability in compression in the direction along the plane P '. From this fact, the hard point phenomenon already mentioned disappears completely.
  • the guide element has a light 311 making it possible to pass the strap portion 30 to the through the guide element and its connection with the guide element.
  • the light passes through the element from one edge 310a to the other 310b.
  • This means of connection has the advantage of being the most resistant and the simplest that can be put in artwork.
  • other means of connection can be envisaged such as riveting, clipping / pinching, stapling, ....
  • each loop has a part connected to one of the districts and a part including said guide element which projects beyond the quarter on the opening 12.
  • the guide element takes position in the thickness of the quarter in the event of pressure exerted on the clamping device by an external element; and this in part thanks to the flexibility of the loop. This reduces the risk of point hard.
  • the strap portion is chosen from textile material because of its flexibility and tensile strength properties. In some cases, could possibly consider using portions of strips in rubber or leather.
  • the strap portion is connected to the upper by sewing, preference, or by other means such as riveting, stapling, or a combination of several means. It is also part of the invention of provide a portion of strap as a continuous part of a piece of fabric of the stem.
  • the guide element is, of course, made of a material of low coefficient of friction. Different materials are likely to be suitable.
  • the guide element is made of a plastic material chosen from PTFE, PTFCE, FEP, nylons, polyamides, polyethylenes, polyacethals.
  • the element can be made in one piece or on the contrary in several mechanically assembled or molded parts.
