Description

Article chaussant à circulation d'air et son procédé de fabricationFootwear with air circulation and its manufacturing process
La présente invention concerne un article chaussant à circulation d'air et son procédé de fabrication.The present invention relates to an article of footwear with air circulation and its manufacturing process.
Le port d'articles chaussants, lors d'une station debout prolongée, de piétinements et/ou de déplacements plus ou moins longs à pied, entraîne souvent des sensations désagréables d' inconfort et de brûlure liées à la sudation pédieuse et au gonflement du pied.The wearing of footwear, during a prolonged standing, trampling and / or more or less long movements on foot, often causes unpleasant sensations of discomfort and burning related to sweating and swelling of the foot .
Afin de résoudre ce type de problème, on a proposé des articles chaussants à circulation d'air tels que ceux décrits dans FR-A-2 594 305, FR-A-2 052 268, FR-A-2 695 303, FR-A-2 684 525, EP-A-0 319 968, WO-A-8910073 et WO-A- 9513714. Les solutions proposées dans ces documents ne sont pas entièrement satisfaisantes dans la mesure où soit seul le dessous de la voûte plantaire est ventilé, soit l'air n'est pas complètement expulsé hors de la chaussure et se contente de circuler du talon à la voûte plantaire dans la semelle. En outre, certains de ces dispositifs, faisant appel à des éléments extérieurs tels qu'une pompe mise en place dans une cavité ménagée dans la semelle d'usure (GB-A-2 247 391) ou intégrée dans la masse de la semelle d'usure (EP-A-0 594 518), se révèlent coûteux.In order to solve this type of problem, air circulation footwear such as those described in FR-A-2 594 305, FR-A-2 052 268, FR-A-2 695 303, FR- has been proposed. A-2 684 525, EP-A-0 319 968, WO-A-8910073 and WO-A- 9513714. The solutions proposed in these documents are not entirely satisfactory insofar as either only the underside of the arch is ventilated, either the air is not completely expelled from the shoe and simply circulates from the heel to the arch of the foot in the sole. In addition, some of these devices, using external elements such as a pump placed in a cavity formed in the outsole (GB-A-2 247 391) or integrated into the mass of the sole d wear (EP-A-0 594 518), prove to be expensive.
Dans FR-A-2 723 822, on a proposé un article chaussant comportant un dispositif de circulation d'air propre à évacuer l'air depuis l'intérieur de l'article chaussant vers l'extérieur dudit article chaussant. Cet article chaussant comporte une semelle d'usure dans laquelle est ménagée une cavité compressible à l'avant et à l'arrière. Les cavités compressibles sont obtenues dans la semelle d'usure, par exemple, par moulage de celle-ci. La cavité compressible dans la partie avant est réalisée ouverte vers l'intérieur de l'article chaussant tandis que la cavité compressible dans le talon est fermée de manière à présenter uniquement une entrée d'air provenant de la partie avant de la semelle et une sortie d'air vers l'extérieur. Cette cavité compressible est en général close par collage d'une semelle de propreté dans l'article chaussant. On obtient avec ce dispositif une bonne circulation d'air au sein d'un article chaussant. Comme on l'a mentionné, la fermeture de la chambre compressible du talon se fait par la mise en place de la semelle de propreté sur la semelle d'usure. Il peut s'ensuivre, après un certain temps d'utilisation de l'article chaussant, une perte de 1 ' étanchéité au niveau de la cavité compressible du talon, diminuant alors l'efficacité du dispositif de circulation d'air et ce, par exemple, par usure de la semelle de propreté.In FR-A-2 723 822, an article of footwear has been proposed comprising an air circulation device capable of evacuating the air from the interior of the article of footwear to the exterior of said article of footwear. This article of footwear includes a outsole in which a compressible cavity is provided at the front and at the rear. The compressible cavities are obtained in the outsole, for example, by molding the latter. The compressible cavity in the front part is made open towards the inside of the footwear while the compressible cavity in the heel is closed so as to present only an air inlet coming from the front part of the sole and an outlet of air to the outside. This compressible cavity is generally closed by bonding a sockliner in the footwear. With this device, good air circulation is obtained within an article of footwear. As mentioned, the compressible chamber of the heel is closed by placing the insole on the outsole. It can follow, after a certain time of use of the footwear, a loss of tightness at the level of the compressible cavity of the heel, then reducing the efficiency of the air circulation device and this, by example, by wearing the insole.
Afin de pallier ces inconvénients, la présente invention propose un article chaussant à circulation d'air dans lequel le dispositif de circulation d'air est totalement intégré dans la semelle et ce, de manière économique, en limitant le nombre d'éléments constituant ledit dispositif de circulation d'air. A cet effet, la présente invention a pour objet un article chaussant présentant une semelle d'usure, une semelle de propreté pourvue de perforations dans sa partie avant et une tige, ladite semelle d'usure comportant au moins une chambre compressible dans sa partie avant ouverte vers l'intérieur de l'article chaussant et au moins une chambre compressible dans le talon muni d'au moins une première valve anti-retour ne permettant le passage de l'air que vers l'extérieur de l'article chaussant, la chambre compressible dans la partie avant étant reliée à la chambre compressible du talon par l'intermédiaire d'un conduit comportant une seconde valve anti-retour permettant la circulation d'air seulement de l'avant vers l'arrière de la semelle d'usure, caractérisé en ce que la semelle d'usure est moulée et comporte une couche de confort surmoulée sur ladite semelle d'usure, ladite semelle d'usure et la couche de confort définissant entre elles les chambres compressibles et formant ou emprisonnant un conduit reliant lesdites chambres et pourvu de la seconde valve anti-retour pour le passage de l'air de la partie avant vers le talon ainsi qu'au moins un orifice et/ou un conduit reliant la chambre du talon à l'extérieur et muni de la première valve anti-retour.In order to overcome these drawbacks, the present invention provides an article of footwear with air circulation in which the air circulation device is completely integrated in the sole and this, in an economical manner, by limiting the number of elements constituting said device. air circulation. To this end, the subject of the present invention is an article of footwear having a outsole, a sockliner provided with perforations in its front part and a rod, said outsole comprising at least one compressible chamber in its front part. open towards the inside of the footwear and at least one compressible chamber in the heel provided with at least a first non-return valve allowing the passage of air only towards the outside of the footwear, the compressible chamber in the front part being connected to the compressible chamber of the heel by means of a conduit comprising a second non-return valve allowing the circulation of air only from the front to the rear of the outsole , characterized in that the outsole is molded and has a comfort layer molded onto said outsole, said outsole and the comfort layer defining between them the compressible chambers and form ant or trapping a conduit connecting said chambers and provided with the second non-return valve for the passage of air from the front part to the heel as well as at least one orifice and / or a conduit connecting the chamber from the heel to the exterior and fitted with the first non-return valve.
Ainsi, on définit une semelle d'un article chaussant se décomposant en une semelle d'usure dans sa partie inférieure pourvue d'une couche de confort dans sa partie supérieure, la semelle d'usure et la couche de confort définissant entre elles les chambres compressibles du dispositif de circulation d'air, les seuls éléments rapportés dudit dispositif pouvant être le conduit pourvu de sa valve anti-retour assurant le passage de l'air de la partie avant vers la partie arrière de la semelle d'usure ainsi que la valve anti-retour mise en place dans la chambre compressible du talon pour permettre l'expulsion de l'air hors de ladite chambre vers l'extérieur de l'article chaussant. En conséquence, on obtient une chambre compressible au niveau du talon pratiquement totalement close au sein de la semelle de l'article chaussant, seule une entrée d'air étant autorisée au niveau du conduit mis en place ou formé entre ladite chambre du talon et la chambre compressible de la partie avant et une sortie d'air étant autorisée vers l'extérieur au travers de la première valve anti-retour. On évite ainsi tout risque de fuites d'air vers l'intérieur de l'article chaussant au niveau de ladite chambre compressible dans le talon ce qui pourrait nuire à l'efficacité de la circulation d'air.Thus, a sole of a footwear item is defined which decomposes into a outsole in its lower part provided with a comfort layer in its upper part, the outsole and the comfort layer defining between them the chambers. compressible of the air circulation device, the only added elements of said device being the duct provided with its non-return valve ensuring the passage of air from the front part to the rear part of the outsole as well as the non-return valve placed in the compressible chamber of the heel to allow the expulsion of air from said chamber towards the outside of the footwear. Consequently, a compressible chamber is obtained at the heel which is practically completely closed within the sole of the footwear, only an air intake being authorized at the level of the duct put in place or formed between said heel chamber and the compressible chamber of the front part and an air outlet being authorized towards the outside through the first non-return valve. This avoids any risk of air leaks into the interior of the footwear at said compressible chamber in the heel which could affect the efficiency of air circulation.
De préférence, la semelle d'usure peut être moulée de manière à présenter sur sa face inférieure externe des crans faisant saillie par rapport à la surface de ladite face inférieure externe de telle sorte que, lors de la marche, ces crans s'enfoncent et exercent une pression sur l'air renfermé dans les chambres compressibles.Preferably, the outsole can be molded so as to have notches protruding from the surface of said external underside on its outer underside so that, when walking, these notches sink and put pressure on the air contained in the compressible chambers.
Selon une forme préférée de réalisation, les chambres compressibles au niveau de la partie avant et/ou du talon sont réalisées sous forme d'évidements correspondant aux crans dépassant légèrement de la face inférieure de la semelle. Ces évidements définissent de petites chambres compressibles qui sont en communication les unes avec les autres pour que l'air circule entre elles. Ainsi, chaque évidement est pourvu de parois qui se déforment sous l'effet de la pression exercée par le pied et permettent la mise à niveau des crans avec la face inférieure de la semelle.According to a preferred embodiment, the compressible chambers at the level of the front part and / or of the heel are produced in the form of recesses corresponding to the notches protruding slightly from the underside of the sole. These recesses define small compressible chambers which are in communication with each other so that the air circulates between them. Thus, each recess is provided with walls which deform under the effect of the pressure exerted by the foot and allow the notches to be leveled with the underside of the sole.
De préférence, on utilise du polyuréthanne pour réaliser la semelle d'usure et la couche de confort est réalisée en polyuréthanne expansé.Preferably, polyurethane is used to make the outsole and the comfort layer is made of expanded polyurethane.
Un article chaussant selon l'invention propose en outre une circulation d'air améliorée dans la mesure où, au niveau de la chambre compressible dans le talon, la paroi supérieure et la paroi inférieure de la chambre compressible peuvent l'une et l'autre subir une déformation et exercer une pression sur l'air enfermé dans ladite chambre.An article of footwear according to the invention also provides improved air circulation insofar as, at the level of the compressible chamber in the heel, the upper wall and the lower wall of the compressible chamber can both undergo deformation and exert pressure on the air trapped in said chamber.
L'admission d'air dans l'article chaussant de l'invention peut se faire au niveau du bord supérieur de la tige ou bien au travers d'orifices d'admission d'air prévus dans la tige, en particulier au niveau du cou-de-pied. Par ailleurs, l'intérieur de la tige est, de préférence, tapissé d'un matériau perméable à l'air mais imperméable à l'humidité qui est associé à une mousse alvéolaire à pores totalement ouverts. Ainsi, l'air entrant par le bord supérieur de la tige peut circuler le long de toute la face interne de la tige aérant le pied.The air intake in the footwear of the invention can be done at the upper edge of the upper or through air intake holes provided in the upper, in particular at the neck -of foot. Furthermore, the inside of the rod is preferably lined with an air permeable but impermeable to moisture material which is associated with a cellular foam with completely open pores. Thus, the air entering through the upper edge of the rod can circulate along the entire internal face of the rod ventilating the foot.
Une semelle de propreté est installée à l'intérieur de l'article chaussant et repose sur la couche de confort de la semelle d'usure. Cette semelle de propreté comporte sur sa partie avant des perforations mettant en communication l'intérieur de l'article chaussant avec la chambre compressible de la partie avant de la semelle d'usure.A sockliner is installed inside the footwear and rests on the comfort layer of the outsole. This sockliner has perforations on its front part which put the interior of the footwear in communication with the compressible chamber of the front part of the outsole.
Ainsi, au cours de la marche, l'air vicié entrant dans la chambre compressible de la partie avant se trouve isolé dans cette chambre lorsque l'utilisateur pose la partie avant du pied, bloquant l'admission d'air depuis l'intérieur de l'article chaussant au travers des perforations de la semelle de propreté. L'air soumis à cette pression dans ladite chambre de la partie avant est expulsé au travers du conduit et de la valve anti-retour vers le talon. Le talon ensuite est posé et la chambre compressible du talon est alors soumise à une contrainte exercée par le sol et une contrainte exercée par le pied de l'utilisateur de l'article chaussant. Le conduit comportant une valve anti-retour empêchant la circulation d'air du talon vers l'avant de la semelle, l'air est expulsé au travers de la valve anti-retour prévue dans la chambre compressible du talon et admettant le passage de 1 ' air vers l'extérieur de la semelle.Thus, during walking, the stale air entering the compressible chamber of the front part is isolated in this room when the user puts the front part of the foot, blocking the admission of air from inside the article of footwear through the perforations of the insole. The air subjected to this pressure in said chamber of the front part is expelled through the conduit and the non-return valve towards the heel. The heel is then placed and the compressible chamber of the heel is then subjected to a stress exerted by the ground and a stress exerted by the foot of the user of the footwear. The duct having a non-return valve preventing air circulation from the heel towards the front of the sole, the air is expelled through the non-return valve provided in the chamber compressible heel and admitting the passage of air to the outside of the sole.
L'invention concerne également un procédé de fabrication d'un article chaussant présentant une semelle d'usure, une semelle de propreté pourvue de perforations dans sa partie avant et une tige, ladite semelle d'usure comportant au moins une chambre compressible dans sa partie avant ouverte vers l'intérieur de l'article chaussant et au moins une chambre compressible dans le talon munie d'au moins une première valve anti-retour ne permettant le passage de l'air que vers l'extérieur de l'article chaussant, la chambre compressible dans la partie avant étant reliée à la chambre compressible du talon par l'intermédiaire d'un conduit comportant une seconde valve anti-retour permettant la circulation d'air seulement de l'avant vers l'arrière de la semelle d'usure selon l'invention caractérisé en ce qu'on moule une semelle d'usure présentant au moins une cavité avant, précurseur de la chambre compressible, dans la partie avant et au moins une cavité arrière, précurseur de la chambre compressible dans le talon, lesdites cavités étant ouvertes vers la face supérieure de ladite semelle d'usure, la cavité du talon comportant au moins un orifice et/ou un conduit débouchant sur l'extérieur de la semelle d'usure, chaque cavité présentant un orifice recevant l'extrémité d'un conduit reliant lesdites cavités et pourvu d'une valve anti-retour ne permettant le passage de l'air que de la partie avant de la semelle vers le talon, et on surmoule ladite semelle d'usure par une couche de confort définissant avec la semelle d'usure une chambre compressible fermée dans le talon et une chambre compressible ouverte dans la partie avant de la semelle de l'article chaussant et emprisonnant le conduit reliant les deux chambres compressibles, une valve anti-retour étant mise en place dans l'orifice et/ou le conduit de la chambre compressible du talon de manière à autoriser uniquement le passage d'air de la chambre vers l'extérieur. Cette valve anti-retour peut être mise en place dans l'orifice et/ou le conduit de la cavité arrière avant ou après le surmoulage de la couche de confort sur la semelle d' usure.The invention also relates to a method of manufacturing an article of footwear having a outsole, a sockliner provided with perforations in its front part and a rod, said outsole comprising at least one compressible chamber in its part. front open towards the inside of the footwear and at least one compressible chamber in the heel provided with at least one first non-return valve allowing the passage of air only towards the outside of the footwear, the compressible chamber in the front part being connected to the compressible chamber of the heel by means of a conduit comprising a second non-return valve allowing the circulation of air only from the front to the rear of the sole. wear according to the invention characterized in that a wear sole is molded having at least one front cavity, precursor of the compressible chamber, in the front part and at least one rear cavity, precursor of the with a compressible chamber in the heel, said cavities being open towards the upper face of said outsole, the heel cavity comprising at least one orifice and / or a conduit opening onto the outside of the outsole, each cavity having an orifice receiving the end of a conduit connecting said cavities and provided with a non-return valve allowing the passage of air only from the front part of the sole to the heel, and said sole is overmolded wear by a layer of comfort defining with the outsole a compressible chamber closed in the heel and a compressible chamber open in the front part of the sole of the footwear and trapping the conduit connecting the two compressible chambers, an anti valve -return being placed in the orifice and / or the duct of the compressible chamber of the heel so as to allow only the passage of air from the chamber to the outside. This non-return valve can be placed in the orifice and / or the duct of the rear cavity before or after the molding of the comfort layer on the outsole.
Le conduit pourvu d'une valve anti-retour reliant les chambres compressibles de la semelle d'usure peut être formé au cours du surmoulage de la couche de confort, la valve étant mise en place avant le surmoulage.The conduit provided with a non-return valve connecting the compressible chambers of the outsole can be formed during the overmolding of the comfort layer, the valve being put in place before overmolding.
Dans le cas où la chambre compressible de la partie avant est constituée de plusieurs évidements, la couche de confort est surmoulée et présente des perforations en regard desdits évidements de la chambre compressible.In the case where the compressible chamber of the front part is made up of several recesses, the comfort layer is overmolded and has perforations opposite said recesses of the compressible chamber.
On décrira maintenant plus en détail un exemple de réalisation de l'invention en référence au dessin dans lequel la figure unique représente une vue en coupe longitudinale d'une semelle d'un article chaussant selon l'invention.An embodiment of the invention will now be described in more detail with reference to the drawing in which the single figure represents a view in longitudinal section of a sole of an article of footwear according to the invention.
Une semelle 1 d'un article chaussant selon l'invention comporte une semelle d'usure 2 présentant une couche de confort 3.A sole 1 of an article of footwear according to the invention comprises an outsole 2 having a comfort layer 3.
La semelle d'usure 2 est obtenue de préférence par moulage de polyuréthanne. Cette semelle d'usure 2 comporte une cavité arrière précurseur d'une chambre compressible 4 au niveau du talon et une cavité avant précurseur d'une chambre compressible 5 au niveau de sa partie avant. Les deux cavités sont formées au cours du moulage de manière à être ouvertes sur la face supérieure de la semelle d'usure 2.The outsole 2 is preferably obtained by molding polyurethane. This outsole 2 includes a rear cavity precursor of a compressible chamber 4 at the heel and a front cavity precursor of a compressible chamber 5 at its front part. The two cavities are formed during molding so as to be open on the upper face of the outsole 2.
Chaque cavité comporte un orifice débouchant dans ladite cavité, chaque orifice recevant une extrémité d'un conduit 6 reliant lesdites cavités et plus tard les chambres 4, 5. Au cours du moulage de la semelle d'usure 2, on ménage un orifice 7 débouchant dans la cavité arrière précurseur de la chambre 4. Cet orifice 7 accueille par la suite une valve anti-retour (non représentée) ou bien encore un conduit pourvu de ladite valve anti-retour.Each cavity has an orifice opening into said cavity, each orifice receiving one end of a conduit 6 connecting said cavities and later the chambers 4, 5. During the molding of the outsole 2, an orifice 7 is formed which opens into the precursor rear cavity of the chamber 4. This orifice 7 subsequently accommodates a non-return valve (not shown) or else a conduit provided of said non-return valve.
On réalise ensuite la couche de confort 3 par surmoulage de la semelle d'usure 2. On utilise de préférence du polyuréthanne expansé.Next, the comfort layer 3 is produced by molding the outsole 2. Preferably, expanded polyurethane is used.
Au cours du surmoulage, la couche de confort 3 recouvre la cavité arrière précurseur de la chambre 4 de manière à former la chambre compressible fermée 4 dans le talon tandis que la chambre compressible 5 de la partie avant est conservée ouverte vers la face supérieure de la semelle 1.During overmolding, the comfort layer 3 covers the precursor rear cavity of the chamber 4 so as to form the compressible chamber closed 4 in the heel while the compressible chamber 5 of the front part is kept open towards the upper face of the sole 1.
Ainsi, la chambre compressible 4 du talon présente uniquement une entrée d'air par le conduit 6 et une sortie d'air par la valve anti-retour montée dans l'orifice 7. Toutes les parois de la chambre compressible 4 sont constituées en un matériau élastiquement déformable assurant une bonne déformation lors de la compression exercée sur ladite chambre 4 lors de la pose du talon au cours de la marche. Cette déformation est par conséquent propre à expulser convenablement l'air contenu dans la chambre 4.Thus, the compressible chamber 4 of the heel has only an air inlet through the duct 6 and an air outlet through the non-return valve mounted in the orifice 7. All the walls of the compressible chamber 4 are constituted by a elastically deformable material ensuring good deformation during the compression exerted on said chamber 4 when laying the heel during walking. This deformation is therefore suitable for properly expelling the air contained in the chamber 4.
La semelle d'usure 2 comporte, de préférence, sur sa face inférieure des découpes de forme géométrique constituant des crans 9 procurant une bonne adhérence des semelles en particulier sur des terrains boueux ou mouillés. En outre, certains de ces crans (non représentés) sont réalisés en saillie par rapport à la surface inférieure de la semelle 2 de telle sorte que, lors de la marche, ils s'enfoncent vers l'intérieur et exercent une pression sur l'air enfermé dans les chambres compressibles 4 et 5 permettant l'évacuation de l'air hors desdites chambres 4 et 5. Afin de favoriser la circulation de l'air dans l'article chaussant, le conduit 6 comporte une valve anti-retour 8 permettant la circulation d'air depuis la chambre compressible 5 vers la chambre compressible 4 et empêchant une circulation inverse.The outsole 2 preferably comprises, on its underside, cutouts of geometric shape constituting notches 9 providing good adhesion of the soles, in particular on muddy or wet grounds. In addition, some of these notches (not shown) are projecting from the bottom surface of the sole 2 so that, when walking, they sink inward and exert pressure on the air enclosed in the compressible chambers 4 and 5 allowing the evacuation of the air from said chambers 4 and 5. In order to promote the circulation of air in the footwear, the conduit 6 comprises a non-return valve 8 allowing the circulation of air from the compressible chamber 5 to the compressible chamber 4 and preventing reverse circulation.
Ainsi, on a réalisé un article chaussant dans lequel la circulation d'air est parfaitement assurée à l'aide d'un dispositif totalement intégré dans la semelle d'un article chaussant se composant d'une semelle d'usure pourvue d'une couche de confort, faisant appel à un minimum d'éléments constitutifs et qui se révèle donc simple à réaliser et économiquement avantageux. Thus, an article of footwear has been produced in which the circulation of air is perfectly ensured by means of a device completely integrated into the sole of an article of footwear consisting of an outsole provided with a layer. comfort, using a minimum of constituent elements and which therefore proves to be simple to produce and economically advantageous.
