Description

La présente invention a pour objet une chaussure de ski selon la revendication 1.The present invention relates to a ski boot according to claim 1.

Une chaussure selon le préambule de la revendication 1 est connue du brevet FR 2 649 594. Dans cette chaussure, le collier est muni d'un renfort constitué d'une plaque relativement rigide fixée de manière réglable et amovible sur la face intérieure du collier. Cette plaque est en matière synthétique, mais pourrait être en métal ou en fibres de verre ou de carbone. Elle a pour but d'améliorer la qualité de la transmission de l'effort latéral de la jambe au ski de manière à améliorer le contrôle des skis. Pour le reste, cette chaussure se comporte comme une chaussure non munie de renfort, en particulier en ce qui concerne le chaussage et le déchaussage.A shoe according to the preamble of claim 1 is known from patent FR 2,649,594. In this shoe, the collar is provided with a reinforcement consisting of a relatively rigid plate attached to adjustable and removable way on the inner side of the necklace. This plate is made of synthetic material, but could be made of metal or fiberglass or carbon. It aims to improve the quality of the transmission of the lateral force of the leg to the ski to improve skis control. For the rest, this shoe behaves like a shoe not provided with reinforcement, in particular as regards footwear and heaving.

Du brevet FR 2 742 026, on connaít par ailleurs une chaussure de ski dont le collier est muni d'une plaque frontale servant d'appui tibial. Dans le brevet EP 0685 178, il est en outre proposé d'utiliser des pièces auxiliaires de renfort de forme asymétrique permettant, selon leur position, d'améliorer les caractéristiques dynamiques de la chaussure soit pour le slalom et le ski sur glace, soit pour la descente. Ces pièces viennent se fixer amoviblement sous la partie antérieure du collier.From patent FR 2 742 026, there is also known a ski boot whose collar is provided with a plate frontal serving as tibial support. In the EP patent 0685 178, it is further proposed to use coins asymmetrical form reinforcement auxiliaries allowing, according to their position, to improve the characteristics dynamics of the shoe either for slalom and skiing on ice, either for the descent. These parts come fix themselves removably under the part front of the collar.

Du document EP-A-0302 414, on connaít par ailleurs une chaussure de ski dite à « entrée arrière », c'est-à-dire présentant deux pièces de forme approximativement semi-cylindrique articulées sur une coque et venant s'appliquer respectivement sur le devant et sur le dos de la jambe. La chaussure comprend en outre une pièce auxiliaire, également en forme approximativement semi-cylindrique et articulée sur la coque, sous la pièce avant. Cette pièce auxiliaire forme appui tibial et présente une forme particulière et des moyens de liaison mécanique avec la pièce avant, qui présente une fente d'élasticité verticale, pour permettre de modifier la flexibilité de la chaussure en flexion avant. On sait toutefois que les chaussures à entrée arrière ne présentent pas des performances comparables à celles des chaussures de type à collier faisant l'objet de la présente invention.From EP-A-0302 414, there is also known a so-called "rear entry" ski boot, that is to say presenting two pieces of approximately semi-cylindrical articulated on a hull and coming apply respectively on the front and back of the leg. The shoe further comprises a piece auxiliary, also in approximately semi-cylindrical shape and articulated on the hull, under the room before. This auxiliary piece forms tibial support and presents a particular form and means of mechanical connection with the front piece, which presents a slot of vertical elasticity, to allow modify the flexibility of the shoe in flexion before. We know, however, that entry shoes backward do not show comparable performance to those collared type shoes making the subject of the present invention.

La présente invention vise un but différent. Elle a pour but d'améliorer le confort et de faciliter le chaussage et le déchaussage de la chaussure sans porter préjudice aux performances de la chaussure, c'est-à-dire à ses caractéristiques dynamiques. En d'autres termes, l'invention consiste en la fabrication d'une chaussure utilisant des matériaux souples, donc confortables, dont les caractéristiques dynamiques, en particulier la prise d'appui vers l'intérieur et vers l'avant et la flexion, sont modifiées par l'adjonction du renfort.The present invention aims at a different purpose. She has aim of improving comfort and facilitating the donning and unhooking the shoe without wearing damage to the performance of the shoe, that is to say to its dynamic characteristics. In others terms, the invention consists in the manufacture of a shoe using soft materials so comfortable, whose dynamic characteristics, in particular the taking of support towards the interior and towards forward and flexion, are modified by the addition reinforcement.

La chaussure selon l'invention est définie à la revendication 1.The shoe according to the invention is defined at claim 1.

De cette manière, il est possible de réaliser une chaussure dont la coque est relativement souple et confortable, l'appui côté intérieur et l'appui tibial étant assurés par la pièce de renfort, lorsque le collier est fermé. Lorsque le collier est ouvert pour le chaussage ou le déchaussage, il libère la flexibilité de la coque, de telle sorte que celle-ci peut être plus facilement chaussée et déchaussée. In this way, it is possible to perform a shoe whose shell is relatively flexible and comfortable, support on the inside and tibial support being ensured by the reinforcement piece, when the collar is closed. When the collar is open for the boot or the heaving, it releases the flexibility of the hull, so that it can be more easily paved and barefoot.

Un autre avantage important de l'invention est la possibilité, à partir d'une souplesse minimale de la coque, par exemple 54 Shore D, et d'un collier relativement souple, de réaliser des chaussures de différentes rigidités par l'adjonction d'un renfort plus ou moins rigide. Ceci facilite dans une grande mesure la gestion des stocks.Another important advantage of the invention is the possibility, from a minimum flexibility of the hull, for example 54 Shore D, and a necklace relatively flexible, to make shoes of different rigidities by the addition of a reinforcement more or less rigid. This facilitates in a big way measures inventory management.

Selon un mode préféré de l'invention, le côté intérieur du bord supérieur de la coque présente une encoche en V et l'élément de renfort présente, sur sa face intérieure, une saillie en forme de coin venant s'emboíter, en position fermée de la chaussure, dans l'encoche en V. L'encoche en V a pour effet de faciliter l'ouverture de la coque pour le chaussage, la saillie en forme de coin de l'élément de renfort venant supprimer cette flexibilité supplémentaire une fois chaussé.According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, the side inside the upper edge of the hull presents a V-notch and the reinforcing element present, on its inner face, a wedge-shaped protrusion to engage, in the closed position of the shoe, in the notch in V. The notch in V has the effect of facilitate the opening of the hull for the boot, the wedge-shaped protrusion of the reinforcing element remove that extra flexibility once floor.

En outre, la pièce de renfort vient avantageusement s'appuyer frontalement contre le bord supérieur de la coque en assurant une continuité d'épaisseur, ainsi qu'une continuité de la face intérieure de la coque.In addition, the reinforcement piece is advantageously lean frontally against the upper edge of the shell ensuring a continuity of thickness, as well a continuity of the inner side of the hull.

Le dessin annexé représente, à titre d'exemple, un mode d'exécution de l'invention et une variante de celui-ci.The attached drawing represents, as an example, a embodiment of the invention and a variant thereof.

La figure 1 est une vue en éclaté de la coque, du collier et de l'élément de renfort. FIG. 1 is an exploded view of the hull, collar and reinforcing element.

La figure 2 est une vue en coupe verticale, à plus grande échelle, à travers l'une des articulations du collier sur la coque.FIG. 2 is a vertical sectional view, at most large scale, through one of the joints of the collar on the hull.

La figure 3 représente une variante d'exécution.Figure 3 shows an alternative embodiment.

La chaussure représentée est constituée d'une coque 1 constituant, de manière connue, la tige 2 se fermant sur le devant de la chaussure par deux rabats et la semelle 3 de la chaussure, d'un collier 4 articulé sur la coque 1, de chaque côté de celle-ci, en deux points opposés, tels que le point 5, au moyen d'un rivet 6 (figure 2), et d'un élément de renfort 7. Toutes ces pièces sont des pièces injectées, par exemple en polyuréthanne avec ajout d'un additif de manière à obtenir une rigidité plus ou moins grande, ceci de manière bien connue.The shoe shown is made of a shell 1 constituting, in known manner, the stem 2 closing on the front of the shoe by two flaps and the sole 3 of the shoe, a collar 4 articulated on the hull 1, on each side of it, in two points opposed, such as point 5, by means of a rivet 6 (Figure 2), and a reinforcing element 7. All these parts are injected parts, for example in polyurethane with the addition of an additive so as to to obtain a greater or less rigidity, this of well known way.

Le matériau de la coque 1 présente, par exemple, une rigidité de 54 Shore D, ce qui est approximativement la dureté minimale pour cette application. Lé collier 4 est relativement souple, alors que l'élément de renfort 7 présente une rigidité supérieure à celle de la coque 1.The material of the shell 1 has, for example, a stiffness of 54 Shore D, which is approximately the minimum hardness for this application. The necklace 4 is relatively flexible, while the reinforcing element 7 has a higher stiffness than the hull 1.

L'élément de renfort 7 s'étend sur un peu plus de la moitié du pourtour du collier 4. Il est muni, à l'avant, d'un téton 8 venant s'emboíter, de l'intérieur du collier 4, dans un trou 9 de ce collier et, à l'arrière, d'un second téton 10 venant s'emboíter dans un trou 11 prévu dans le dos du collier 4. L'élément de renfort 7 s'étend donc de chaque côté du trou 11, de telle sorte qu'il vient entourer partiellement le bas du mollet.The reinforcing element 7 extends over a little more than the half of the perimeter of the collar 4. It is provided with the front, a nipple 8 coming to fit, from the inside of the necklace 4, in a hole 9 of this necklace and, the back of a second nipple 10 coming to fit into a hole 11 provided in the back of the necklace 4. The element of reinforcement 7 therefore extends on each side of the hole 11, so that it comes to partially surround the bottom calf.

L'élément de renfort 7 présente, sur sa face intérieure, une saillie 12 en forme de coin orienté sensiblement verticalement. Cette saillie 12 est constituée d'une surépaisseur de la matière de l'élément de renfort. De son côté, le bord supérieur de la coque 1, du côté correspondant à l'intérieur du pied, présente une encoche 13 également en forme de V géométriquement semblable à la forme de la saillie 12 et sensiblement de même étendue. Lorsque les pièces représentées sont assemblées, la saillie 12 est engagée dans l'encoche 13.The reinforcing element 7 has on its face interior, a protrusion 12 in the shape of an angled corner substantially vertically. This protrusion 12 is consisting of an extra thickness of the material of the reinforcing element. For its part, the upper edge of the shell 1, the corresponding side inside the foot, has a notch 13 also V-shaped geometrically similar to the shape of the protrusion 12 and of substantially the same extent. When the coins represented are assembled, the projection 12 is engaged in the notch 13.

L'encoche 13 a pour effet d'augmenter la capacité de déformation de la partie supérieure de la coque 1 et par conséquent de faciliter le chaussage et le déchaussage de la chaussure en libérant les rabats de la coque. Par contre, lorsque le collier 4 est serré autour de la jambe, l'encoche 13 est occupée par la saillie 12 de telle sorte que la coque devient indéformable et que la flexibilité est fortement réduite. Ainsi, au moyen d'un renfort unique, on améliore simultanément l'appui avant intérieur, donc la conduite du ski, et la rigidité dynamique de la chaussure.Notch 13 has the effect of increasing the capacity of deformation of the upper part of the shell 1 and therefore, to facilitate the fitting and removing the shoe by releasing the flaps of shell. On the other hand, when the collar 4 is tight around the leg, the notch 13 is occupied by the protrusion 12 so that the shell becomes indeformable and that flexibility is strongly scaled down. Thus, by means of a single reinforcement, one simultaneously improves the front support interior, so the skiing, and the dynamic rigidity of the shoe.

A la figure 2, on voit que l'élément de renfort 7 présente une partie inférieure amincie 7a entourant le bord supérieur de la coque 1. Au-dessus de cette partie amincie, l'élément de renfort 7 présente une zone relativement épaisse 7b venant s'appuyer frontalement contre le bord supérieur 14 de la coque 1 de manière à assurer une continuité de la face intérieure 15 de la coque. En outre, au-dessus du bord inférieur de la partie 7a, la coque va en s'amincissant légèrement et il en est de même du collier 4. Une certaine continuité de l'épaisseur totale se trouve ainsi assurée dans la zone de superposition de la coque, du collier et de l'élément de renfort.In FIG. 2, it can be seen that the reinforcing element 7 has a lower, thinned portion 7a surrounding the upper edge of the hull 1. Above this part thinned, the reinforcing element 7 has a zone relatively thick 7b coming from a frontal support against the upper edge 14 of the shell 1 so as to ensure continuity of the inner face 15 of the shell. In addition, above the lower edge of the part 7a, the hull is thinning slightly and it is the same with the necklace 4. A certain continuity total thickness is thus ensured in the superposition area of the hull, collar and the reinforcing element.

La chaussure est bien entendu munie de moyens de serrage conventionnels tels que des boucles, ainsi que d'un chausson intérieur de confort.The shoe is of course provided with means of conventional tightening such as loops, as well as an inner comfort slipper.

Selon une variante d'exécution, l'angle de l'encoche 13 pourrait être plus grand que l'angle formé par la saillie 12 et l'espace subsistant entre au moins un côté de l'encoche 13 et la saillie pourrait être rempli d'un matériau élastomère. L'angle de l'encoche 13 pourrait être agrandi seulement vers l'avant, de sorte que l'élastomère serait seulement en avant de la saillie, conférant ainsi une certaine élasticité au collier lors de la flexion de la jambe.According to an alternative embodiment, the angle of the notch 13 could be larger than the angle formed by the projection 12 and the remaining space between at least one side of the notch 13 and the protrusion could be filled an elastomeric material. The angle of the notch 13 could be enlarged only forward, so that the elastomer would be only in front of the protrusion, thus giving some elasticity to the collar during flexion of the leg.

La figure 3 représente une variante d'exécution dans laquelle la saillie 12 est remplacée par un téton 16 et l'encoche en V 13 est remplacée par une lumière 17 découpée dans la coque 2, en arc de cercle centré sur l'articulation 5. La partie antérieure de cette lumière 17 est occupée par un matériau élastomère 18, tel que du caoutchouc, laissant libre un trou 19 dans lequel vient s'engager le téton 16 lors de la fermeture du collier. En flexion avant, le matériau élastique 18 confère au collier une plus grande flexibilité.FIG. 3 represents an execution variant in which the projection 12 is replaced by a pin 16 and the notch V 13 is replaced by a light 17 cut in the shell 2, in a circular arc centered on the joint 5. The anterior part of this light 17 is occupied by an elastomeric material 18, such as rubber, leaving free a hole 19 in which just engage the nipple 16 when closing the necklace. In forward flexion, the elastic material 18 gives the collar greater flexibility.

La lumière 17 pourrait être remplacée par un trou correspondant au trou 19.Light 17 could be replaced by a hole corresponding to the hole 19.
