Description

L'invention a pour objet un article chaussant comprenant une tige en matériau souple, étanche à l'eau et présentant une ouverture se fermant par la superposition au moins partielle d'au moins deux parties de la tige.The invention relates to an article of footwear comprising a rod made of flexible material, watertight with water and having an opening closing through the at least partial superimposition of at least two parts of the stem.

Généralement, les tiges souples sont constituées d'un matériau extérieur étanche ou doublé par un matériau barrière type GORTEX (marque déposée) et d'un matériau intérieur de confort tel que veloutine, doublant une mousse. Ce matériau de confort, en contact direct avec le pied, est de préférence hydrophobe pour deux raisons, d'une part, pour évacuer la transpiration le plus loin possible du pied et, d'autre part, pour éviter à l'eau extérieure de pénétrer à l'intérieur du chausson par capillarité. Par matériau hydrophobe, on entend aussi bien une matière plastique qu'un matériau tissé ou tricoté sans effet de mèche, c'est-à-dire n'absorbant pas l'eau par capillarité, par exemple un tissu de polypropylène.Generally, the flexible rods consist of a outer material waterproof or lined with a material barrier type GORTEX (registered trademark) and a material comfort interior such as veloutine, doubling a foam. This comfort material, in direct contact with the foot is preferably hydrophobic for two reasons, on the one hand, for evacuating perspiration on further away from the foot and, on the other hand, prevent outside water from getting inside the slipper by capillarity. By hydrophobic material, means both a plastic material and a material woven or knitted without wicking, i.e. not absorbing water by capillarity, for example a polypropylene fabric.

Parmi les chaussures de sport, on peut distinguer trois familles, celle constituée des chaussures à coque en matière plastique et chausson intérieur de confort, comprenant les chaussures de ski alpin, celle constituée des chaussures à tige souple et armature ou renforts comprenant notamment les chaussures de surf et les chaussures de patins et celle constituée des chaussures de marche et de montagne dans lesquelles la tige assure à la fois l'étanchéité et le confort.Among the sports shoes, we can distinguish three families, the one consisting of plastic material and interior comfort slipper, including alpine ski boots, the one consisting of soft-stemmed shoes and frame or reinforcements including surfing shoes and skate shoes and that made up of walking and mountain shoes in which the stem ensures both tightness and comfort.

Dans les chaussures de la première famille, l'étanchéité est généralement assurée par le contact entre les rabats de la coque et une garniture de caoutchouc à l'extrémité antérieure des rabats. Cette étanchéité est parfois complétée par une garniture s'étendant entre les rabats (EP-A-583 565) ou par une membrane rapportée formant une sorte de soufflet entre les rabats (FR-A-2 691 884, EP-A-0 572 775).La garniture d'étanchéité peut faire partie d'une pièce s'étendant sur l'avant et l'un des côtés de la chaussure (EP-A-0 517 219). Il a également été proposé d'améliorer l'étanchéité entre les rabats en formant ou en fixant une lèvre souple à l'extrémité de l'un des rabats (EP-A-0 615 703). La fermeture du chausson intérieur de confort n'est généralement pas étanche.In the shoes of the first family, the seal is usually provided by the contact between the flaps of the shell and a trim of rubber at the anterior end of the flaps. This sealing is sometimes complemented by a trim extending between the flaps (EP-A-583 565) or by a reported membrane forming a kind of bellows between the flaps (FR-A-2 691 884, EP-A-0 572 775) .La gasket can be part of a room extending on the front and one of the sides of the shoe (EP-A-0 517 219). It has also been proposed to improve the seal between the flaps by forming or by attaching a soft lip to the end of one of flaps (EP-A-0 615 703). The closure of the liner comfort interior is usually not waterproof.

En ce qui concerne les chaussures à tige souple, il est connu d'assurer l'étanchéité en assurant une continuité de la tige par un soufflet (FR-A-2 022 964). Cette solution a également été adoptée pour des chaussons intérieurs de chaussures de ski rigides (DE-A-27 31 450, FR-A-2 368 239, US-A-4 268 931). La construction à soufflet est également connue pour des bottes en caoutchouc (US 3 006 084).With regard to soft-stemmed shoes, it is known to ensure tightness by ensuring continuity of the stem by a bellows (FR-A-2 022 964). This solution was also adopted for slippers Rigid Ski Boot Interiors (DE-A-27 31,450, FR-A-2,368,239, US-A-4,268,931). The bellows construction is also known for rubber boots (US 3,006,084).

La construction à soufflet permet d'obtenir une bonne étanchéité, mais le soufflet replié forme une surépaisseur susceptible de créer une zone de compression localisée désagréable. Une réduction de la dimension du soufflet se fait au dépend de l'amplitude d'ouverture de la chaussure et donc du chaussage et du déchaussage. En outre, l'obtention d'un soufflet complique la fabrication de la chaussure. De plus, si le soufflet est rapporté par couture, cette couture constitue une zone de pénétration de l'eau.The bellows construction provides a good tightness, but the folded bellows form a overthickness likely to create a zone of unpleasant localized compression. A reduction of size of the bellows is at the expense of the amplitude opening of the boot and therefore of the boot and the heaving. In addition, obtaining a bellows complicates the manufacture of the shoe. Moreover, if the bellows is reported by sewing, this seam constitutes a zone of penetration of water.

L'invention a pour but d'assurer une bonne étanchéité d'un article chaussant à tige souple par des moyens simples et sans soufflet.The invention aims to ensure a good seal an article of footwear with a flexible upper by means simple and without bellows.

L'article chaussant selon l'invention est défini par la revendication 1.The article of footwear according to the invention is defined by the claim 1.

Les parties de la tige qui viennent se superposer lors de la fermeture peuvent être aussi bien des rabats qu'une languette et les bords de l'échancrure fermée par cette languette.The parts of the stem which are superimposed during of the closure can be both flaps that a tongue and the edges of the notch closed by this tongue.

L'article chaussant comprendra de préférence deux, voire trois bourrelets formant deux, voire trois barrières successives à l'eau.The article of footwear will preferably comprise two, even three beads forming two or three successive barriers to water.

Comme la matière constituant la tige, ces bourrelets sont souples et déformables, en particulier par compression, de telle sorte qu'ils assurent un contact continu et étanche entre les deux parties superposées.Like the material constituting the stem, these bulges are flexible and deformable, in particular by compression, so that they ensure contact continuous and waterproof between the two superimposed parts.

En ce qui concerne les rabats, bien qu'une distinction soit faite entre les chaussures comportant deux rabats identifiables comme tels et les chaussures comprenant un seul rabat, la zone de la tige recouverte par un rabat peut être assimilée à un rabat. With regard to flaps, although a distinction be made between shoes with two flaps identifiable as such and the shoes comprising a single flap, the area of the stem covered by a flap can be likened to a flap.

La formation des bourrelets sur les rabats d'une chaussure en matière plastique injectée est difficile en raison des difficultés de démoulage. Ces bourrelets peuvent par contre être aisément obtenus par thermoformage ou thermo compression à plat, par exemple par le procédé décrit dans la demande de brevet CH 1 414/98.The formation of the beads on the flaps of a Injected plastic shoe is difficult because of the difficulties of demolding. These beads can be easily obtained by thermoforming or flat thermo-compression, for example by the process described in the patent application CH 1 414/98.

Le dessin annexé représente, à titre d'exemple, trois modes d'exécution de l'article chaussant selon l'invention.The appended drawing represents, by way of example, three modes of execution of the article of footwear according to the invention.

La figure 1 représente une chaussure de ski alpin ajourée à tige souple en position fermée.Figure 1 shows an alpine ski boot perforated with flexible rod in closed position.

La figure 2 représente la tige de la même chaussure en position ouverte.Figure 2 shows the stem of the same shoe in open position.

La figure 3 représente une coupe verticale transversale de la tige représentée à la figure 2.Figure 3 shows a vertical cross section of the rod shown in Figure 2.

La figure 4 représente un chausson à languette extérieure.Figure 4 shows a slipper with tongue exterior.

La figure 5 représente un chausson à languette intérieure.Figure 5 shows a slipper with tongue interior.

La chaussure représentée à la figure 1 est constituée essentiellement d'une tige souple 1, d'une armature 2 et d'un collier 3 articulé sur l'armature dans la région malléolaire en un point 4 et en un point opposé situé de l'autre côté de la chaussure.The shoe represented in FIG. essentially a flexible rod 1, a frame 2 and a hinged collar 3 on the frame in the malleolar area at a point 4 and at an opposite point located on the other side of the shoe.

La tige souple 1 est une tige haute en matériau étanche à l'eau, revêtue d'un rembourrage intérieur par exemple en tissu de polypropylène. Elle s'ouvre sur le devant, presque jusqu'à son extrémité. A cet effet, elle présente deux rabats 5 et 6, mieux visibles à la figure 2. Au moins la face intérieure du rabat 5 est constituée d'un matériau n'absorbant pas l'eau par capillarité. Toute la tige pourrait être munie d'une doublure intérieure en matériau hydrophobe. Le rabat 6 présente, sur sa face extérieure, un premier bourrelet 7 s'étendant de manière continue le long du rabat, en suivant approximativement le contour du bord du rabat 6, et un second bourrelet 8 situé à une certaine distance du bourrelet 7, mais de manière à être recouvert par le rabat 5 lorsque la chaussure est fermée. Lorsque le rabat 5 est appliqué sur le rabat 6 par la boucle de fermeture et de serrage 17, les bourrelets 7 et 8 jouent le rôle de garnitures d'étanchéité. L'étanchéité est principalement assurée par le bourrelet 7, mais le bourrelet 8 constitue une première barrière. Il serait bien entendu possible de prévoir un troisième bourrelet, soit sur le rabat 6, entre les bourrelets 7 et 8, soit sur le rabat 5. Au niveau du cou de pied, la tige présente une partie souple 9 formant soufflet et assurant une continuité entre le rabat 5 et la partie supérieure 10 de la tige tout en permettant la flexion aisée de la tige à ce niveau. The flexible rod 1 is a high stem made of waterproof material with water, covered with interior padding for example made of polypropylene fabric. It opens on the front, almost to the end. For this purpose she has two flaps 5 and 6, better visible in the figure 2. At least the inside face of the flap 5 is made of a material that does not absorb water by capillarity. The whole stem could be equipped with a inner lining of hydrophobic material. The flap 6 present, on its outer face, a first bead 7 extending continuously along the flap, in following approximately the contour of the edge of the flap 6, and a second bead 8 located at a certain distance from the bead 7, but so as to be covered by the flap 5 when the shoe is closed. When the flap 5 is applied to the flap 6 by the closing and tightening loop 17, the beads 7 and 8 act as trimmings sealing. Watertightness is mainly ensured by the bead 7, but the bead 8 constitutes a first barrier. It would of course be possible to provide a third bead, or on the flap 6, between the beads 7 and 8, or on the flap 5. Au level of the instep, the stem presents a part flexible 9 forming bellows and ensuring continuity between the flap 5 and the upper part 10 of the rod while allowing easy bending of the rod at this level.

D'une manière générale, les bourrelets peuvent être formés sur l'un ou l'autre rabat ou sur les deux rabats.In general, the beads can be formed on either flap or on both flaps.

L'armature 2, réalisée de préférence en polyuréthanne, constitue un berceau pour la tige 1. Ce berceau comprend le talon 11 de la chaussure muni d'un trottoir arrière 12. A l'avant, le berceau présente un trottoir avant 13. La tige 1 et l'armature 2 sont solidarisées par l'injection d'une matière plastique souple 14. L'armature 2 présente en outre deux parties latérales ascendantes, telles que la partie 15, munies de deux pattes 16 et 17 destinées à recevoir une boucle de fermeture et de serrage 18. Le collier 3 est également muni d'une paire de pattes destinées à recevoir une boucle 19 et, à sa partie supérieure, il présente deux passants, tels que le passant 20, pour le passage d'une courroie 21 servant, de manière connue, d'appui tibial.The frame 2, preferably made of polyurethane, is a cradle for the stem 1. This cradle includes the heel 11 of the shoe with a sidewalk back 12. At the front, the cradle has a sidewalk before 13. Rod 1 and frame 2 are joined together by the injection of a flexible plastic material 14. The frame 2 further has two side parts ascending, such as Part 15, equipped with two tabs 16 and 17 for receiving a loop of closing and tightening 18. The collar 3 is also provided with a pair of legs for receiving a loop 19 and, at its upper part, it presents two passersby, such as passerby 20, for the passage of a belt 21 serving, in known manner, tibial support.

La chaussure est en outre munie, de manière connue, d'une plaquette de talon 22 et d'une plaquette avant 23 toutes deux en caoutchouc dur.The shoe is further provided, in known manner, a heel plate 22 and a front plate 23 both made of hard rubber.

La tige pourrait être amovible, c'est-à-dire séparable d'une armature. Dans ce cas, cette armature se présente comme une coque plus ou moins découpée et ajourée.The stem could be removable, that is to say separable of an armature. In this case, this frame is presented like a shell more or less cut and openwork.

L'une des parties de la tige assurant la fermeture peut être une languette. Les figures 4 et 5 illustrent deux exemples de fermeture par une languette. Les articles chaussants représentés peuvent être aussi bien un chausson intérieur de confort qu'une partie de chaussure dont le bas et la semelle seraient réalisés de la même manière que dans le premier mode d'exécution décrit.One of the parts of the closing rod can to be a tongue. Figures 4 and 5 illustrate two examples of closure by a tongue. The articles footwear represented may be as well a Inner comfort slipper that part of shoe whose bottom and sole would be made in the same way as in the first execution mode described.

La tige 24 du chausson représenté à la figure 4 présente une échancrure frontale 25 fermée par une languette extérieure 26 venant recouvrir les bords de l'échancrure 25. Les surfaces extérieures des zones marginales de l'échancrure 25 présentent un bourrelet 27. En position de fermeture, la languette 26 vient s'appliquer sur ce bourrelet 27.The stem 24 of the liner shown in FIG. has a frontal notch 25 closed by a outer tongue 26 coming to cover the edges of the notch 25. The outer surfaces of the zones marginal of the notch 25 have a bead 27. In the closed position, the tab 26 comes apply on this bead 27.

La tige 28 du chausson représenté à la figure 5 présente également une échancrure frontale, mais celle-ci est fermée par une languette intérieure 29. La surface intérieure des zones marginales de l'échancrure présente un bourrelet 30 s'étendant, comme le bourrelet 27, tout le long de la ligne de fermeture . En position fermée, les bords de l'échancrure viennent s'appliquer à la manière de rabats sur la languette 29.The stem 28 of the liner shown in FIG. also has a frontal notch, but this one is closed by an inner tongue 29. The inner surface of the marginal areas of the indentation has a bead 30 extending, like the bead 27, all along the closing line. In position closed, the edges of the notch come to apply in the manner of flaps on the tongue 29.

L'invention concerne aussi bien un chausson de confort qu'une tige de chaussure munie d'un chausson intérieur.The invention also relates to a comfort slipper a shoe upper with an inner boot.
