Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a snowboard boot whose stem is closed by means of two transverse flaps which overlap with a tongue which extends over the anterior part of the foot and the lower leg of the surfer.
  • snowboard boots have this type of rod structure with a lacing closure system, that the boot is obtained from a piece, that is to say with an outer casing provided with padding. comfort, or in two pieces, that is to say with an outer shell and a removable boot comfort.
  • the upper is designed to have a relatively large forward flexing capability as well as some resistance to movement from a bent position. Indeed, the feet of the surfer being in position transverse to the surf, the need to bring the vertical center of gravity on the central axis of the surf imposes bending of the ankles.
  • the stems of the surf boots are generally constructed and dressed with relatively soft materials, quite easily deformable, but practically not elastic such as leather, canvases, fabrics, etc., which are possibly coatings for sealing or protection against wear.
  • These materials also allow multiple combinations of assembly and thus very diverse and more or less flexible rod constructions, adapted according to the practice for which the surf boots are more specifically intended, for example for practices on all terrain and all snow, or tracks such as those arranged in the form of a half tube.
  • the surf boots thus constructed have the disadvantage of being relatively difficult to fasten to the foot especially at their stem with the transverse flaps that overlap the tongue.
  • the abovementioned materials such as leather, fabrics, canvases, etc., which constitute and / or dress the stem present in their usual state a voluntarily rough and slightly slippery surface texture which considerably increases the friction between the tongue and the transverse flaps.
  • the closure of the rod therefore requires a relatively large tightening force on the lacing system to bring the transverse flaps together and thus press the tab against the foot and / or the lower leg of the surfer.
  • This need for energetic tightening is not only restrictive but also the source of hand injuries because the lace of the lacing system offers only a very small grip surface while the effort of traction applied to it is important. The same problem arises with shoes in the case of two-piece boots.
  • the present invention aims to facilitate the subjection of the surf boot at the foot of the surfer while maintaining a rod or shoe construction made of deformable materials capable of easily conforming to the foot, such as leather, canvases , fabrics, ... etc.
  • the invention proposes to significantly reduce the value of the friction between the flaps and the tongue that ensure the closure of the surf boot or slipper.
  • the upper of the surf boot is provided, in the area where the transverse flaps overlap the tongue, at least one layer of low friction material, particularly with respect to the materials that dress it.
  • it is a film or film that is deposited for example by coating, or a sheet of a material having a slippery surface that is reported just in the overlap area of the flaps on the tongue.
  • This layer of material is also arranged indifferently on the flaps and / or on the tongue.
  • the layer of material extends over the entire area where the transverse flaps overlap the tongue or only partially, especially to obtain a differentiated support for example between the foot and the lower leg of the surfer.
  • the same construction can be applied to the shoe in the case of a shoe in two pieces, at least one of the flaps, or the tongue if there is one, being provided with such a low friction layer.
  • a low friction material has been used in EP-A-0 551 704 to reduce the friction between the flaps of the in-line pad cuff and the tongue of the pad removable boot.
  • FIG. 1 shows, in perspective three quarter front view, a surf boot obtained in one piece and whose upper comprises a layer of material with a low coefficient of friction according to the invention.
  • Figure 2 shows, viewed from above, the surf boot of Figure 1 in the closed position.
  • FIG. 3 is a plan view of a surf boot comprising a liner and an outer casing, the latter being provided at its upper with a layer of material with a very low coefficient of friction.
  • the surf boot 1, shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 is obtained in one piece, that is to say with an outer shell 2 and a comfort padding 3.
  • the latter provides the interface between the outer shell and the foot-lower leg of the surfer indicated by the reference numeral 5 in Figure 2.
  • the outer casing 2 is provided with a sole 10 and has a rod 4 which closes to the using two transverse flaps 4 'which overlap with a tongue 6 which extends over the anterior part of the foot and the lower leg 5 of the surfer.
  • a lacing closure system 7 comprising a lace 8 and passers 9 arranged on the flaps 4 'of the rod 4, is provided to allow the adjustment and securing of the boot 1 on the foot and lower leg 5 of the surfer.
  • the upper 4 of the boot 1 is advantageously dressed and / or constructed of deformable materials such as leather, fabrics, canvas, etc., which have what is commonly known as lending, that is to say which can to a certain extent stretch, extend before the appearance of elastic behavior.
  • the transverse flaps 4 'and the tongue 6 are dressed with these materials and, in accordance with the invention, at least one of these elements is provided with a layer 11 of material with a low coefficient of friction in the area where they overlap. More specifically, in the present embodiment, the layer 11 of material is arranged-fixed on the transverse flaps 4 ', the side directed towards the tongue 6. Moreover, the layer 11 extends only in the upper part 12 of the boot 1 corresponding to the lower leg of the surfer, that is to say above the lower part 13 which shoes the foot itself.
  • the implementation of the lacing system 7 provides a differentiated maintenance between the lower part 13 which surrounds the foot and the upper part 12 which surrounds the lower leg, because the layer 11 promotes the sliding of the flaps 4 'on the tongue 6 only at its location. Therefore, the tightening of the upper part 12 is facilitated.
  • the surf boot 31 shown in FIG. 3 differs from the previous boot 1 essentially in that it is generally obtained in two main parts, namely an outer shell 32 and a removable comfort boot 33. All the other components being identical to those of the surf boot 1 of Figures 1 and 2, their description and / or operation are not included.
  • the removable comfort liner 33 may, itself, be provided with a layer of material 11 with a very low coefficient of friction in its closure zone.
  • the boot 33 can be closed like the surf boot 31, that is to say with a pair of transverse flaps 34 which cover a tongue 36. It can also be closed simply by means of two flaps 34 which overlap each other, i.e. without the presence of a tongue 36. In this case, the layer of material 11 with a low coefficient of friction is fixed on only one of the flaps 34 in the overlap zone.
  • a layer of material 11 with a low coefficient of friction is disposed between the tongue 36 of the shoe 33 and the tongue 6 and / or the flaps 4 'of the rod 4 of the surf boot.
  • the removable comfort boot 33 may be provided with a closure zone disposed more or less laterally to the rod.
  • the surf boot 1 or 31 can be made in other ways without departing from the scope of the invention.
  • the layer 11 of low friction material may be attached to the tongue 6, the side directed to the flaps 4 ', and / or extend over the entire area where there is overlap between said flaps 4 'and said tongue 6.
  • the layer 11 of low friction material can be implemented only on one of the two transverse flaps 4 '.
  • the layer 11 of low friction material may be constituted by the deposition of a film on the area where the flaps 4 'overlap the tongue 6 and the realization of this deposit is, for example, obtained by coating, soaking ... etc.
  • the layer 11 may also be constituted by a sheet or a more or less narrow strip, having a slippery surface, which is attached to the flaps 4 'and / or the tongue 6 in the overlap area.
  • low coefficient of friction layer is meant a layer whose coefficient of friction is lower than that of the surrounding materials so as to facilitate the mutual sliding of said materials.
