Definitions

  • the invention relates to a footwear item which opens from the front and which has a protective tab on the top of the foot and relates in particular to a tongue comfort intended to come directly into contact with the top of the foot, and to its fixing system on the footwear.
  • Known footwear of this type relates generally to all shoes flexible for walking and running and so-called "hard shell” shoes such as ski, ice and roller skate shoes, mountaineering, etc ... which have a comfort liner which is housed inside their shell.
  • the known tongue fastening systems determine a fixed longitudinal mounting position or provide several adjustment possibilities between two extreme longitudinal positions either continuously or in a adjustable, in particular using woven ribbons that grip on contact.
  • patent EP 0317 798 teaches a liner with a tongue sliding between two extreme longitudinal positions determined by means of a assembly pin which is freely mounted through an oblong hole.
  • the tongue is supposed to move automatically against the front part of the leg the user when the shell of the shoe is closed on the liner.
  • its longitudinal displacement is essentially carried out under the side walls of the liner, and that it results from the stress exerted by the closing elements of the shell on the slipper, there is significant friction between it and these contiguous parts of the liner and shell that hinder its sliding.
  • it's the user of the shoe who, manually, must ensure the adjustment of the tongue against the front part of the leg.
  • the tongue connecting tapes therefore make it possible to adjust the footwear volume at the feet of the user without causing problems that could affect comfort. Furthermore, the fact that the fixing of the tongue results simply from the interweaving of the wires woven ribbons together, there is a multitude of possibilities for adjusting the position longitudinal of the tongue. Of course, the more the contact surface of the woven ribbons important the more the adjustment possibilities are numerous.
  • the footwear opening from the front and comprising a tongue of protection of the top of the foot which is attached to its anterior end via an adjustable fastening system, comprising woven ribbons which grip by contact is characterized by the fact that the fastening system consists of at least one flexible strip thin, oriented in the longitudinal axis of the footwear, which is fixed by a tip on the anterior end of the latter and which is folded on itself, by its other free end, to form a tongue retaining loop, woven ribbons being secured to the flexible strip on the side where it is folded to ensure the closure of the loop thus formed.
  • the position of the tongue in the longitudinal direction of the article footwear can be adjusted by simply changing the hanging position of the woven ribbons between them and this, continuously considering the fact that the woven threads of the ribbons can almost overlap with each other at all points.
  • the present fixing system with woven ribbons gripping by contact allows easy replacement of the tongue since it does not require the destruction of any element of the footwear.
  • the folding thereof to form the tongue hooking loop can be done with a small radius that does not increase significantly the external volume of the anterior end of the footwear.
  • the flexible strip has a certain surface, the possible pressures which could be applied on it would be distributed over this surface.
  • the system of binding is therefore easy to integrate into the overall structure of a footwear item in particular when it is a comfort liner housed in the shell of a shoe thanks to its thinness, flexibility and suppleness as well as the extent of its contact surface.
  • the protective tab present at its front end a transverse attachment means on which the flexible band is looped.
  • the tongue can thus pivot in a vertical plane thanks to its hooking means which turns in the loop formed by the flexible strip. This avoids the formation of folds at the end front of the tongue, which usually occurs with the use of shoes in the sewn and / or fixed tabs with woven ribbons which constitute an extension of the tabs as previously described.
  • This attachment means is, for example, constituted by a bar transverse to the axis longitudinal of the footwear.
  • the attachment means is consisting of a ring, a portion of which extends over the flexible band transversely to the longitudinal axis of the footwear.
  • an opening with a closed contour corresponding substantially to the profile transverse flexible band is obtained in the front end of the tongue and contiguous way by hooking.
  • the flexible strip can be passed through, by its free end, at the same time as it loops on the medium hanging; this assembly makes it possible to limit the subsequent displacements of the tongue in translation in the longitudinal direction of the footwear and towards the front of the latter because the tongue then finds additional support at the level of the loop formed by the strip flexible through the periphery of the opening which it comprises and which abuts on the loop.
  • the entire surface of the flexible strip which is directed to the side where the latter is folded is dressed by woven ribbons.
  • the ribbons woven together in several places between two positions extreme longitudinal reciprocal attachment.
  • these two positions extremes are indicated on the front part of the footwear and / or on the band flexible, for example by a mark, to warn of the limits not to be exceeded to guarantee a minimum gripping surface in grip and thus a certain solidity of the retaining-fixing of the tongue on the footwear.
  • the tongue extends under the flaps cross-section of the footwear, in particular under the tightening and / or support, such as lacing devices, which secure the flaps on the foot. More precisely, the tongue has at least its lateral edges which extend under the flaps transverse of the footwear while its front end, provided with the means hanging, spring outside said flaps on the front end of the article footwear.
  • the footwear shown in Figures 1 and 2 is a comfort boot 1 which opens from the front and which has a comfort tab 2 intended to come directly into contact of the top of the foot, not shown.
  • the tongue 2 is attached to the anterior end 3 of the liner 1 via a fastening system 4, adjustable using woven ribbons 5, 6 which grip by contact.
  • This fixing system 4 consists of a flexible strip and thin 7 which is provided with woven ribbons 5 and 6 and which is folded on itself so as to form a loop 8 intended to retain a hooking means 9 provided at the front end 10 of the tongue 2.
  • the woven ribbons 5 and 6 are secured to the flexible strip 7 on the side where it is folded in order to ensure the closure of the loop 8 which it forms.
  • the flexible strip 7 is oriented in the longitudinal axis of the latter and is fixed by its end 11 on the anterior end 3 thereof. This way you just have to change the position hooking the free end 12 relative to the fixed end 11 to cause the movement of the loop 8 which is perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the footwear 1.
  • the hooking means 9 of the tongue 2 is also provided, with an axis perpendicular to the longitudinal one of footwear 1; in this way the tongue 2 remains free to debate in the vertical direction by pivoting on its hooking means 9, which makes it easier to put on the shoes.
  • At least one mark 15, fixed on the front part 3 of the article fit 1 indicates and / or identifies the limits for adjusting the free end 12 of the flexible strip 7 not to be exceeded to be sure of having this minimum of gripping surface in taken.
  • marks 16 are produced on the flexible strip 7 in order to make the and / or the longitudinal adjustment positions of the loop 8 more visible and therefore of the tongue 2 by means of its hooking means 7.
  • an opening 18 with a contour closed is obtained in the front end 10 of the tongue 2, the hooking means 7 of this last delimiting this opening 18 on the side directed towards the anterior end 3 of the article footwear 1.
  • the closed outline of the opening 18 is determined to correspond approximately to the transverse profile of the flexible strip 7 so that the tongue 2 does not cannot move in translation later on.
  • the tongue 2 bears directly on the loop 8 before applying the woven ribbons 5 and 6; this arrangement makes such a fastening system 4 significantly more efficient in holding than the fastening systems where the woven ribbons are partly arranged on the tongue and partly on the footwear as is the case in the state of the art.
  • the lateral edges 22 of the tongue 2 extend under the transverse flaps 19 of the footwear 1 while its front end 10 provided with the hooking means 9 spring on the anterior end 3 of said footwear item 1.
  • This arrangement makes it possible to give the front end 10 of the tongue 2 an overall shape. similar to a T whose cross bar, provided with the hooking means 9, extends beyond relatively transverse flaps 19 at this location of the fastening system 4 while the vertical bar of the T is adjusted to the spacing thereof.
  • This mounting the front end 10 of the tongue 2 obviously reinforces its retention in position on the footwear 1.
  • the footwear item 21 shown is a flexible walking shoe. She includes, in the same way as for footwear 1 exposed with reference to Figures 1 and 2 a tongue 2, attached to the anterior end 3 of the footwear 21, by through a fastening system 4 comprising woven ribbons 5, 6. All the elements components used to fix the tongue 2 and adjust it being similar, their description is therefore not included.
  • the attachment means 9 of the tongue 2 can be constituted by a hanging bar or by a hanging ring.
  • the ring can advantageously be of approximately oval shape, like an O, and be mounted on the front end 10 of the tongue 2 transversely to the longitudinal axis of the article fitting 1, 21 so that the ends of the O extend beyond the transverse flaps 19 of this latest.
  • the tongue 2 which is preferably arranged under the transverse flaps 19 of the article of footwear so as to ensure the most effective protection possible, despite everything be arranged over these flaps 19.
