Abstract

The dance shoe has an insert of a semi-rigid material such as natural or synthetic rubber or plastic, comprising a toe section and a shank with lengthwise ribs. The ribs are designed to hold a reinforcing element in the form of a curved strip e.g. of glass or carbon fibre. The toe section has a cavity for the toes, a flat tip and a removable shock absorber of a paste, gel or viscoelastic material, or an airfilled pouch.

Description

La présente invention a pour objet un chausson de danse.The present invention relates to a slipper of dance.

Un chausson de danse comporte une tige en tissu, généralement de la toile satinée ou non, et une semelle renforcée longitudinalement par un cambrion et en extrémité par un embout creux dans lequel sont logés les orteils, le cambrion est réalisé en bois ou en carton, tandis que l'embout est dans la plupart des cas en carton ou en fibres végétales.A dance shoe has a fabric upper, usually satin fabric or not, and a sole reinforced longitudinally by a shank and at the end by a hollow tip in which the toes are housed, the shank is made of wood or cardboard, while the tip is in most cases made of cardboard or fibers vegetable.

Les chaussons d'une telle conception présentent de nombreux inconvénients qui créent un inconfort pour la danseuse, lequel s'ajoute aux traumatismes dus à la position sur pointes.The slippers of such a design have many disadvantages that create discomfort for the dancer, which adds to the trauma caused by the position on spikes.

En effet, le cambrion repose dans l'embout par l'une de ses extrémités avec pour conséquence une surépaisseur qui engendre une certaine gêne.Indeed, the shank rests in the tip by one of its ends resulting in a extra thickness which causes some discomfort.

D'autre part, le cambrion est très rigide, ce qui nécessite de lui donner une forme galbée afin d'obtenir une ligne parfaite du pied en pointe, ce qui par contre est préjudiciable à la stabilité du pied à plat.On the other hand, the shank is very rigid, which which requires giving it a curved shape in order to obtain a perfect line from the toe, which on the other hand is detrimental to the stability of the flat foot.

Afin de pallier ces inconvénients, il a été proposé, notamment dans les documents US-A-4.901.453 et DE-A-27.36.974, de construire un chausson de danse autour d'un insert en matière plastique, qui incorpore une partie embout et une partie cambrion, cette dernière étant de forme incurvée.In order to overcome these drawbacks, it was proposed, in particular in documents US-A-4,901,453 and DE-A-27,36,974, to build a ballet shoe around a plastic insert, which incorporates a tip part and a shank part, the latter being shaped curved.

L'insert de ce chausson comporte de plus une cavité inférieure permettant de bloquer un élément raidisseur qui s'étend de la pointe jusqu'au talon.The insert of this slipper also has a lower cavity to block an element stiffener that extends from the tip to the heel.

Les chaussons proposés dans ces documents présentent toutefois des inconvénients, en ce qui concerne d'une part leur confort et d'autre part leur coût de fabrication.The slippers proposed in these documents have drawbacks, however, with regard to on the one hand their comfort and on the other hand their cost of manufacturing.

En effet, lors de leur utilisation, la matière plastique dont est fait l'insert s'échauffe et se ramollie, en sorte que la partie embout s'évase avec pour conséquence une diminution du maintien qui se traduit par un inconfort.Indeed, during their use, the material plastic from which the insert is made heats up and softens, so that the tip part flares with consequence a decrease in support which results in discomfort.

D'autre part, les pieds sont de tailles et de formes très différentes, ce qui nécessite la réalisation de nombreux inserts différents pour créer une gamme complète de chaussons, ce qui revient très cher en terme de moules.On the other hand, the feet are of sizes and very different forms, which requires the realization of many different inserts to create a full range of slippers, which is very expensive in terms of molds.

De plus, les danseuses ont certaines exigences concernant soit la longueur de la partie cambrion, soit la taille et l'enveloppement de la partie embout, ce qui multiplie le nombre d'inserts, donc de moules, qu'il est nécessaire de réaliser.In addition, the dancers have certain requirements concerning either the length of the shank part, or the size and wrap of the tip part, which multiplies the number of inserts, therefore molds, that it is necessary to realize.

De plus encore, la partie cambrion de ces chaussons, qui à la forme d'une semelle, est d'une part de trop grande largeur ce qui nuit à l'esthétique, et d'autre part trop longue ce qui constitue une gêne pour la position en demi-pointe.Furthermore, the shank part of these slippers, which in the shape of a sole, is on the one hand too wide which detracts from the aesthetics, and other part too long which is a nuisance for the position in half point.

De plus encore, le raidisseur est solidaire fixement de l'insert, notamment dans le document US-A-4.901.453, en sorte le galbe est difficilement réversible ce qui constitue également une gêne lorsque le pied est posé à plat, ou dans la position demi-pointe, et présente des risques de rupture du raidisseur.In addition, the stiffener is integral fixing the insert, in particular in document US-A-4,901,453, so the curve is hardly reversible this which also constitutes discomfort when the foot is placed flat, or in the half-tip position, and has risk of breaking the stiffener.

La présente invention a pour but de proposer un chausson de danse permettant de remédier à ces divers inconvénients.The object of the present invention is to provide a dance shoe to remedy these various disadvantages.

Le chausson de danse objet de la présente invention se caractérise essentiellement en ce qu'il comporte un insert, réalisé par moulage d'une matière semi-rigide, incorporant une partie embout et une partie cambrion de forme incurvée, ladite partie cambrion comportant à sa face inférieure un moyen de maintien dans le sens transversal d'un raidisseur, tandis que ladite partie embout est introduite dans une enveloppe de forme complémentaire et réalisée dans un matériau souple et peu déformable.The dance shoe object of this invention is essentially characterized in that it includes an insert, produced by molding a semi-rigid material, incorporating a tip part and a shank part of curved shape, said shank part comprising at its underside holding means in the direction transverse of a stiffener, while said end piece is placed in an envelope of complementary shape and made of a flexible and slightly deformable material.

Selon une caractéristique additionnelle du chausson selon l'invention, l'enveloppe est réalisée en cuir ou analogue. According to an additional characteristic of the liner according to the invention, the cover is made of leather or the like.

Conformément à l'invention, la partie cambrion est de faible largeur, et est susceptible d'être coupée à la longueur souhaitée.In accordance with the invention, the shank part is narrow, and can be cut to size desired length.

La présente invention permet ainsi de réaliser un chausson sur mesure qui, outre son confort, est d'un faible coût. En effet seulement quelques moules sont nécessaires, ceux-ci se différenciant par la largeur interne de la partie embout.The present invention thus makes it possible to carry out a custom slipper which, in addition to its comfort, is low cost. Indeed only a few molds are necessary, these being differentiated by the internal width of the end piece.

Après détermination de la taille de l'insert, le chausson est réalisé selon les choix de la danseuse, celle-ci pouvant choisir entre un cambrion plus ou moins long, un raidisseur plus ou moins rigide, et une enveloppe plus ou moins souple et plus ou moins enveloppante, c'est-à-dire que celle-ci peut ou non déborder la partie embout de l'insert.After determining the size of the insert, the slipper is made according to the dancer's choices, this one can choose between a longer or shorter shank, a more or less rigid stiffener, and a more or less less flexible and more or less enveloping, that is to say that this may or may not extend beyond the tip portion of the insert.

Les avantages et les caractéristiques de la présente invention ressortiront plus clairement de la description qui suit et qui se rapporte au dessin annexé, lequel en représente un mode de réalisation non limitatif.The advantages and features of the present invention will emerge more clearly from the description which follows and which relates to the appended drawing, which represents a non-limiting embodiment thereof.

Dans le dessin annexé :

  • la figure 1 représente une vue en perspective de dessous d'un insert pour chausson de danse selon l'invention.
  • la figure 2 représente une vue en perspective de dessus du même insert.
  • la figure 3 représente une vue partielle de profit du même dispositif.
In the attached drawing:
  • FIG. 1 represents a perspective view from below of an insert for a dance shoe according to the invention.
  • Figure 2 shows a perspective view from above of the same insert.
  • FIG. 3 represents a partial view of profit from the same device.

Si on se réfère aux figures 1 et 2, on peut voir un insert 1 destiné à la construction d'un chausson de danse selon l'invention, et qui sert d'ossature sur laquelle sont notamment fixées une tige et une doublure intérieure, non représentées.If we refer to Figures 1 and 2, we can see an insert 1 intended for the construction of a dance shoe according to the invention, and which serves as a framework on which are in particular fixed a rod and an inner lining, not represented.

L'insert 1, qui est réalisé en caoutchouc naturel ou synthétique, ou en matière plastique, comporte deux parties, une partie embout 10 et une partie cambrion 11.Insert 1, which is made of rubber natural or synthetic, or plastic, has two parts, one end piece 10 and one shank part 11.

La partie embout 10 comporte une paroi inférieure plate 12 et une paroi supérieure 13, l'ensemble formant une cavité 14, non visible sur la figure 1, destinée à loger les orteils, tandis que l'extrémité 15 est plate pour permettre la position sur pointe.The end piece 10 has a wall lower flat 12 and an upper wall 13, the assembly forming a cavity 14, not visible in FIG. 1, intended to accommodate the toes, while the end 15 is flat to allow position on tip.

La partie cambrion 11 consiste en un prolongement de la paroi 12 qui va en rétrécissant dans le sens de la largeur pour former une bande qui s'incurve dans le sens anatomique de la voûte plantaire.The shank part 11 consists of a extension of the wall 12 which narrows in the widthwise to form a strip which curves in the anatomical sense of the arch.

La face inférieure 16 du cambrion 11 comporte longitudinalement deux nervures 17 parallèles, non visibles sur la figure 2, destinées à maintenir dans le sens transversal un raidisseur 2, également non visible sur la figure 2, en étant placé entre celles-ci.The underside 16 of the shank 11 has longitudinally two ribs 17 parallel, not visible in Figure 2, intended to hold in the direction transverse a stiffener 2, also not visible on the Figure 2, being placed between them.

Le raidisseur 2 peut être réalisé dans différents matériaux, selon la dureté désirée, il peut être par exemple en fibre de verre ou en fibre de carbone.The stiffener 2 can be produced in different materials, depending on the desired hardness, it can be for example fiberglass or carbon fiber.

Les nervures 17 permettent uniquement le maintien du raidisseur 2 dans le sens transversal, son maintien contre l'insert 1 étant réalisé par la tige en tissu, non représentée, dont est recouvert l'insert, ce qui autorise le glissement, dans le sens longitudinal, du raidisseur 2 sur l'insert 1, afin de ne pas endommager le raidisseur 2 et d'en faciliter la flexion dans un sens ou dans l'autre.The ribs 17 only allow the holding the stiffener 2 in the transverse direction, its holding against the insert 1 being produced by the rod in fabric, not shown, with which the insert is covered, which allows the sliding, in the longitudinal direction, of the stiffener 2 on insert 1, so as not to damage the stiffener 2 and facilitate bending in one direction or in the other.

Il est à noter qu'avantageusement la partie embout 10, notamment la paroi supérieure 13, peut comporter des perçages, non représentés, permettant au pied de "respirer".It should be noted that advantageously the part end piece 10, in particular the upper wall 13, may include holes, not shown, allowing the foot to "breathe".

On notera également qu'il peut être prévu de réserver un espace dans le fond de la cavité 14, afin de permettre l'adaptation d'un élément amortisseur qui peut être soit un élément amovible, réalisé dans un matériau malléable de type pâte, gel, ou matériaux viscoélastiques, soit une poche remplie d'air.It should also be noted that provision may be made for reserve a space in the bottom of the cavity 14, in order to allow the adaptation of a damping element which can either be a removable element, made of a material malleable paste, gel, or viscoelastic materials, or a pocket filled with air.

Le galbe de la partie cambrion 11, du fait de la souplesse du matériau utilisé, et selon la nature du raidisseur 2, s'accentue en position pointe, et la partie cambrion 10 épouse la voûte plantaire et constitue un appui pour celle-ci.The curve of the shank 11, due to the flexibility of the material used, and depending on the nature of the stiffener 2, increases in tip position, and the part Cambrion 10 hugs the arch and provides support for this one.

Les dimensions de la partie cambrion 11, à savoir sa longueur, sa largeur et son épaisseur, sont choisies en fonction de l'anatomie du pied, afin de respecter les arcs longitudinaux et transversal que comporte la voûte plantaire.The dimensions of the shank part 11, to know its length, its width and its thickness, are chosen according to the anatomy of the foot, in order to respect the longitudinal and transverse arcs the arch of the foot.

La partie cambrion 11 prend ainsi place entre les arcs longitudinaux, tandis que son extrémité 18 doit coincider avec l'arc transversal en avant du talon, ce qui est obtenu en coupant la partie cambrion 11 à la longueur désirée, cette coupe étant de préférence faite en sifflet.The shank portion 11 thus takes place between the longitudinal arcs, while its end 18 must coincide with the transverse arch in front of the heel, which is obtained by cutting the shank part 11 to length desired, this cut being preferably made as a whistle.

On notera que le matériau utilisé permet une taille aisée, en sorte que même la face supérieure de la partie cambrion peut être travaillée.Note that the material used allows a easy size, so that even the top side of the shank part can be worked.

Dans la position pied à plat, la partie cambrion 11 ne constitue pas une gène comme c'est le cas avec les chaussons de type traditionnel, d'autant plus qu'elle ne conserve pas son galbe, du fait d'une part que le raidisseur 2 ne lui est pas solidarisé fixement, et d'autre part de la souplesse du matériau dont est fait l'insert 1.In the flat foot position, the shank part 11 does not constitute a gene as is the case with traditional slippers, especially since it does not not retain its shape, on the one hand that the stiffener 2 is not fixedly attached to it, and on the other hand flexibility of the material from which insert 1 is made.

De plus, le raidisseur 2 ne s'étend pas sous la partie embout 10 afin de permettre la position en demi-pointe.In addition, the stiffener 2 does not extend under the end piece 10 to allow the half-point position.

D'autre part, on notera que le bord de la paroi supérieure 13 comporte dans sa région médiane une échancrure 19, qui permet, lors de position sur pointe, la sortie de la base des orteils, avec pour conséquence une meilleure expression de la pointe.On the other hand, it will be noted that the edge of the wall upper 13 has in its middle region a notch 19, which allows, when positioned on tip, the exit of the base of toes, resulting in better tip expression.

Si on se réfère maintenant à la figure 3, on peut voir que la partie embout 10 de l'insert 1 est recouverte d'une enveloppe 3 de forme complémentaire, laquelle qui est de préférence réalisée en cuir.If we now refer to Figure 3, we can see that the tip part 10 of the insert 1 is covered with an envelope 3 of complementary shape, which is preferably made of leather.

L'enveloppe 3 permet de contenir l'évasement de la partie embout 10, qui peut se produire lors de l'échauffement de la matière dont est fait l'insert.Envelope 3 contains the flaring of the end piece 10, which can occur during the heating of the material from which the insert is made.

L'enveloppe 3 peut être réalisée d'une part dans des cuirs de souplesses différentes, et d'autre part dans des dimensions différentes, de manière que, selon le choix de la danseuse, elle puisse recouvrir totalement ou partiellement la partie embout 10 de l'insert 10.The envelope 3 can be produced on the one hand in leathers of different suppleness, and on the other hand in different dimensions, so that, depending on the choice of the dancer, it can completely cover or partially the tip part 10 of the insert 10.

Il est également possible que l'enveloppe 3 déborde la partie embout pour se prolonger sur le pied, ainsi, la partie extrême du chausson demeure rigide, tandis que la partie médiane est souple et enveloppante, ce qui en accroit le confort.It is also possible that envelope 3 extends beyond the end piece to extend over the foot, thus, the extreme part of the liner remains rigid, while that the middle part is flexible and enveloping, which increases comfort.
