Abstract

The sports boot comprises an upper (2), an external sole (3) and a fastener (5) intended to engage a fastener associated with the sports article. The upper has in its lower part a continuous peripheral girdle (4) on which each of the fasteners is fixed. The girdle can be placed inside or outside the upper.

Description

La présente invention a pour objet une chaussure de sport, notamment sport de glisse tel que le snowboard (ou surf des neiges) mais également ski ou patin... et comportant au moins un organe d'accrochage à un engin de glisse associé tel que la planche de snowboard, de ski, patin...etc.The subject of the present invention is a sports shoe, in particular a sliding sport such as as snowboarding (or snowboarding) but also skiing or skating ... and comprising at least an attachment member to an associated gliding device such as a snowboard or ski board, skate ... etc.

Dans le domaine du snowboard notamment se développent de plus en plus des fixations de type système, appelées "step-in", pour assurer la liaison de la chaussure à la planche de snowboard. Dans ce type de fixation, la chaussure comporte un organe d'accrochage destiné à coopérer avec un organe d'accrochage complémentaire fixé sur la planche de snowboard. De tels systèmes sont décrits par exemple dans le WO 96/03186.In the field of snowboarding in particular, more and more bindings are developing system type, called "step-in", to ensure the connection of the shoe to the board snowboard. In this type of fastening, the shoe includes a fastening member intended to cooperate with a complementary fastening member fixed on the snowboard. Of such systems are described for example in WO 96/03186.

Alors que dans les systèmes de fixation de snowboard traditionnels dits à coque, la chaussure est une chaussure relativement souple et est fixée à la planche via des coques plastiques solidaires de la planche et enserrant la chaussure par des sangles de serrage appelées straps, les systèmes de fixation de type step-in imposent une structure de semelle de chaussure rigide pour permettre un ancrage suffisant et solide du ou des organes d'ancrage de la chaussure destinés à coopérer avec les organes d'ancrage associés de la planche de snowboard.While in traditional so-called hull snowboard binding systems, the shoe is a relatively flexible shoe and is attached to the board via shells plastics integral with the board and enclosing the shoe by tightening straps called straps, step-in fastening systems impose a sole structure of rigid shoe to allow sufficient and solid anchoring of the anchoring member (s) the shoe intended to cooperate with the associated anchoring members of the board snowboard.

En effet contrairement aux systèmes dits à coque, où les efforts de liaison de la chaussure à la planche sont uniformément répartis via les straps plastiques, dans les fixations de type système, les efforts se concentrent au niveau du ou des organes d'accrochage de la chaussure et l'ancrage de ces derniers doit être particulièrement solide, et ceci d'autant plus que les efforts à transmettre sont élevés.In fact, unlike the so-called hull systems, where the connection efforts of the shoe to the board are evenly distributed via the plastic straps, in the bindings system type, the efforts are concentrated at the level of the attachment member (s) of the shoe and the anchoring of these must be particularly solid, and this all the more that the efforts to transmit are high.

Il s'ensuit que dans les chaussures de snowboard destinées à coopérer avec des fixations de type système, la semelle de la chaussure doit comporter une partie particulièrement rigide au moins dans la zone d'ancrage du ou des organes d'accrochage.It follows that in snowboard boots intended to cooperate with bindings system type, the sole of the shoe must have a particularly rigid part at least in the anchoring zone of the attachment member (s).

Ainsi dans le EP 774 217, un insert métallique est prévu dans toute la zone centrale de la semelle de la chaussure pour renforcer la zone d'ancrage.Thus in EP 774 217, a metal insert is provided throughout the central area of the sole of the shoe to strengthen the anchoring area.

Dans le WO-A-96/03186 ou le EP 719 505 un insert métallique est prévu en direction longitudinale sur toute la face inférieure de la semelle.In WO-A-96/03186 or EP 719 505 a metal insert is provided in the direction longitudinal over the entire underside of the sole.

De tels inserts métalliques dans la semelle présentent de nombreux inconvénients : rigidification excessive de la semelle préjudiciable à la marche, interférence de la neige ou de la glace avec l'insert métallique logé sous la semelle, interruption des transmissions des sensations par la présence des parties de semelle métallique ou rigide. Or cette transmission des sensations est particulièrement importante, notamment lorsque le sport de glisse est effectué sur des terrains accidentés, comme en ski ou en snowboard, car elle permet au sportif de réagir et d'effectuer les mouvements appropriés.Such metal inserts in the sole have many disadvantages: excessive stiffening of the sole, detrimental to walking, interference from snow or the glass with the metal insert housed under the sole, interruption of transmission of sensations by the presence of the metallic or rigid sole parts. Now this transmission sensations is particularly important, especially when the sliding sport is performed on uneven terrain, such as skiing or snowboarding, as it allows the athlete to react and perform the appropriate movements.

Le but de la présente invention est donc de remédier à ces inconvénients et en particulier de proposer une nouvelle construction de chaussure conciliant les avantages d'une fixation à coque de type traditionnel, à savoir notamment la transmission des sensations, avec ceux d'une fixation de type système ou step-in, notamment la fixation rapide de la chaussure à la planche.The object of the present invention is therefore to remedy these drawbacks and in particular to propose a new construction of shoe reconciling the advantages of an attachment to hull of the traditional type, namely in particular the transmission of sensations, with those a system or step-in attachment, in particular the rapid attachment of the shoe to the board.

Un autre but de la présente invention est également de proposer une construction de chaussure compatible avec la marche.Another object of the present invention is also to propose a construction of shoe compatible with walking.

Enfin l'invention doit également être applicable à toute chaussure de sport, pour laquelle se posent les mêmes problèmes d'accrochage à un engin de sport, ainsi que les problèmes de transmission des sensations et problèmes de facilité de marche, et notamment à des chaussures telles que chaussure de ski, de patin ...etc.Finally, the invention must also be applicable to any sports shoe, for which there are the same problems of attachment to a sports machine, as well as the problems of transmission of sensations and problems of ease of walking, and in particular to shoes such as ski boot, skate boot ... etc.

Ce but est atteint dans la chaussure de sport selon l'invention qui comporte une tige, une semelle externe et au moins un organe d'accrochage destiné à coopérer avec un organe d'accrochage associé d'un article de sport, par le fait que la tige est munie à sa partie inférieure d'une ceinture uniquement périphérique continue, au moins semi-rigide, et que chaque organe d'accrochage de la chaussure est fixé sur ladite ceinture périphérique.This object is achieved in the sports shoe according to the invention which comprises a rod, a outer sole and at least one fastening member intended to cooperate with a member associated attachment of a sports article, by the fact that the rod is provided at its part bottom of a continuous peripheral belt, at least semi-rigid, and that each shoe attachment member is fixed to said peripheral belt.

En effet la ceinture externe au moins semi-rigide permet l'ancrage du ou des organes d'accrochage, indépendamment de la semelle de marche et est donc compatible avec une semelle de marche en matériau souple transmettant les sensations et permettant réellement la marche.Indeed the at least semi-rigid external belt allows the anchoring of the organ (s) of attachment, independently of the tread and is therefore compatible with a outsole made of flexible material transmitting sensations and really allowing the market.

La ceinture périphérique peut être disposée à l'intérieur ou à l'extérieur de la tige.The peripheral belt can be arranged inside or outside the rod.

De toute façon, l'invention sera mieux comprise et d'autres caractéristiques de celle-ci seront mises en évidence à l'aide de la description qui suit en référence aux dessins schématiques annexés en représentant à titre d'exemple non limitatifs plusieurs modes de réalisation préférés et dans lesquels :

  • la figure 1 est une vue en perspective éclatée d'une chaussure selon l'invention,
  • la figure 2 est une vue en coupe selon II-II de la figure 1,
  • la figure 3 est une vue de côté de la figure 1,
  • la figure 4 est une vue similaire à la figure 2 selon un autre mode de réalisation,
  • la figure 5 est une vue similaire à la figure 1 selon un autre mode de réalisation,
  • la figure 6 est une vue similaire à la figure 2 selon un autre mode de réalisation,
In any case, the invention will be better understood and other characteristics thereof will be highlighted with the aid of the description which follows with reference to the appended schematic drawings, representing by way of nonlimiting example several modes of preferred realization and in which:
  • FIG. 1 is an exploded perspective view of a shoe according to the invention,
  • FIG. 2 is a sectional view along II-II of FIG. 1,
  • FIG. 3 is a side view of FIG. 1,
  • FIG. 4 is a view similar to FIG. 2 according to another embodiment,
  • FIG. 5 is a view similar to FIG. 1 according to another embodiment,
  • FIG. 6 is a view similar to FIG. 2 according to another embodiment,

Ainsi que le montre particulièrement la figure 1, la chaussure de sport 1 selon l'invention est constituée d'une tige 2, d'une semelle externe 3 et d'une ceinture uniquement périphérique continue 4 disposée au niveau de l'extrémité inférieure 2a de la tige 2.As shown particularly in Figure 1, the sports shoe 1 according to the invention consists of a upper 2, an outer sole 3 and a belt only peripheral continuous 4 disposed at the lower end 2a of the rod 2.

Un organe d'accrochage, de type connu en soi, 5 est fixé latéralement sur la ceinture périphérique 4, sensiblement dans la zone centrale de la chaussure au moyen de vis ou rivets 6.A fastening member, of a type known per se, 5 is fixed laterally on the belt peripheral 4, substantially in the central zone of the shoe by means of screws or rivets 6.

La tige 2 est réalisée par tout procédé connu en soi et peut notamment être obtenue par un montage strobel, c'est-à-dire sous la forme d'un chausson fermé par une couture périphérique 7 basse comme montrée sur les figures 2 et 4, ou par un montage traditionnel sur forme avec première de montage comme montré sur la figure 6. Bien évidemment d'autres procédés de montage de tige sont également possibles. La tige peut également comporter un liner ou chausson interne distinct (non représenté sur le dessin).The rod 2 is produced by any process known per se and can in particular be obtained by a strobel mounting, that is to say in the form of a slipper closed by a seam peripheral 7 low as shown in Figures 2 and 4, or by a traditional mounting on form with first assembly as shown in Figure 6. Obviously others Rod mounting methods are also possible. The rod may also include a liner or separate inner liner (not shown in the drawing).

La semelle externe 3 peut être monomatière ou multimatière, par exemple en caoutchouc EVA, caoutchouc PU... et possède des qualités d'amortissement des chocs et d'adhérence pour la marche. Elle est également de préférence en matériau relativement souple, et non rigide.The outer sole 3 can be single or multi-material, for example in EVA rubber, PU rubber ... and has shock absorption qualities and grip for walking. It is also preferably made of a relatively flexible material, and not rigid.

La ceinture périphérique 4 est constituée par un élément continu, réalisé à part, et assemblé ensuite par collage à l'extrémité inférieure 2a de la tige. Un procédé d'assemblage par collage tel que connu par le FR 96 12869 (S 573) peut être utilisé pour fixer ladite ceinture périphérique 4. L'assemblage de la ceinture 4 est réalisée de préférence après collage de la semelle externe 3. La ceinture périphérique 4 peut être également injectée directement sur la tige.The peripheral belt 4 is constituted by a continuous element, produced separately, and then assembled by gluing to the lower end 2a of the rod. An assembly process by gluing as known from FR 96 12869 (S 573) can be used to fix said belt peripheral 4. The assembly of the belt 4 is preferably carried out after gluing of the outer sole 3. The peripheral belt 4 can also be injected directly onto the rod.

Cette ceinture 4 est au moins semi-rigide, c'est-à-dire d'une rigidité suffisante pour permettre un ancrage satisfaisant de l'organe d'accrochage 5.This belt 4 is at least semi-rigid, that is to say of a rigidity sufficient to allow satisfactory anchoring of the attachment member 5.

A titre d'exemple non limitatif, elle peut être réalisée dans du PU de dureté de l'ordre de 60 Shores D. Selon les applications souhaitées et les efforts à transmettre lors de la pratique du portde la chaussure, elle pourra être plus ou moins rigide.By way of nonlimiting example, it can be produced in PU of hardness of the order of 60 Shores D. Depending on the desired applications and the efforts to be transmitted during the practice wearing the shoe, it can be more or less rigid.

La rigidité de la ceinture 4 en direction périphérique sera également modulée par des variations d'épaisseurs appropriées, notamment pour obtenir une plus grande souplesse à l'avant, afin de ne pas perturber le déroulement du pied lors de la marche, et une plus grande rigidité à l'arrière.The rigidity of the belt 4 in the peripheral direction will also be modulated by appropriate thickness variations, in particular to obtain greater flexibility in the front, so as not to disturb the course of the foot when walking, and greater stiffness at the back.

De préférence et ainsi que le montrent particulièrement les figures 2 et 3, l'assemblage de la ceinture périphérique 4 au niveau de l'organe d'accrochage 5 peut être renforcé par des coutures appropriées 8 ou tout autre moyen de renforcement tel que des rivets.Preferably and as particularly shown in Figures 2 and 3, the assembly of the peripheral belt 4 at the hooking member 5 can be reinforced by appropriate seams 8 or any other means of reinforcement such as rivets.

Comme la ceinture 4 est uniquement périphérique et ne comporte aucune partie s'étendant en direction horizontale par rapport à la chaussure, tous les efforts ou sensations S provenant du sol ou de l'organe de glisse sont transmis directement et intégralement au pied P de l'utilisateur via la semelle 3 et sans aucun effet de filtration lié à la présence d'une partie rigide interposée entre ladite semelle 3 et la tige.As the belt 4 is only peripheral and has no parts extending in horizontal direction with respect to the shoe, all efforts or sensations S from the ground or the sliding device are transmitted directly and completely to the foot P of the user via the sole 3 and without any filtration effect linked to the presence of a part rigid interposed between said sole 3 and the upper.

Une telle chaussure permet donc de concilier un ancrage efficace de l'organe d'accrochage et une bonne transmission des sensations et compatibilité avec la marche.Such a shoe therefore makes it possible to reconcile an effective anchoring of the organ grip and good transmission of sensations and compatibility with walking.

Une telle construction est compatible avec la prévision de un ou plusieurs organes d'accrochage 5. Ceux-ci peuvent également être disposés à tous autres endroits de la chaussure, et notamment aux extrémités de celle-ci.Such a construction is compatible with the provision of one or more organs 5. These can also be placed in any other places of the shoe, and in particular at the ends thereof.

La figure 4 illustre un second mode de réalisation dans lequel la semelle externe 3 remonte par un bord périphérique vertical 3a sur le côté externe de la tige 2 et de la ceinture rigide 4. FIG. 4 illustrates a second embodiment in which the outer sole 3 goes up by a vertical peripheral edge 3a on the external side of the rod 2 and the belt rigid 4.

Ce mode de réalisation a l'avantage de garantir une certaine étanchéité de la liaison tige 2 / semelle 3. Dans ce cas, la semelle externe 3 est assemblée à la tige après mise en place de la ceinture 4.This embodiment has the advantage of guaranteeing a certain tightness of the rod connection 2 / sole 3. In this case, the outer sole 3 is assembled to the upper after positioning of the belt 4.

Dans le mode de réalisation de la figure 5, deux volets de serrage latéral 10, associés à des moyens de serrage 11 de type laçage, velcro, etc, sont prévus à partir de la ceinture périphérique 4.In the embodiment of FIG. 5, two lateral tightening flaps 10, associated with clamping means 11 of lacing, velcro, etc. type, are provided from the belt device 4.

Chaque volet de serrage 10 s'étend en direction verticale depuis le bord supérieur 4a de la ceinture 4 jusqu'au niveau du dessus de tige. Ces volets de serrage 10 sont prévus dans la zone de cou de pied. Ils permettent d'améliorer le serrage du pied.Each clamping flap 10 extends in a vertical direction from the upper edge 4a of the belt 4 to the level of the upper of the rod. These clamping flaps 10 are provided in the instep area. They improve the tightening of the foot.

Un seul volet 10 peut également être prévu pour un serrage asymétrique du pied.A single flap 10 can also be provided for asymmetrical tightening of the foot.

Enfin, la figure 6 illustre un dernier mode de réalisation dans lequel la ceinture périphérique 4 est disposée à l'intérieur de la tige 2. Cette disposition présente l'avantage que la ceinture 4 est cachée.Finally, FIG. 6 illustrates a final embodiment in which the belt device 4 is arranged inside the rod 2. This arrangement has the advantage that the belt 4 is hidden.

Dans ce mode réalisation, la tige 2 est montée sur forme F selon le processus traditionnel à l'aide d'une première de montage 12 sur laquelle est fixée l'extrémité inférieure de la tige 2 par de la colle 14 et des clous / agrafes....etc. Bien évidement il pourrait également s'agir d'un montage strobel.In this embodiment, the rod 2 is mounted on form F according to the process traditional using a first assembly 12 on which is fixed the lower end rod 2 with glue 14 and nails / staples .... etc. Obviously he could also be a strobel assembly.

La présente invention n'est pas limitée aux seuls exemples de réalisation décrits ci-avant à tire d'exemples non limitatifs, mais en englobe tous les modes de réalisation similaires ou équivalents. Comme indiqué précédemment, elle s'applique aussi à toute chaussure de sport pour laquelle des problèmes similaires doivent être résolus.The present invention is not limited to the exemplary embodiments described above. from nonlimiting examples, but encompasses all similar embodiments thereof or equivalents. As indicated above, it also applies to any sports shoe for which similar problems need to be resolved.
