Description

L'invention a pour objet une chaussure destinée à coopérer avec un article de sport, en particulier un ski, équipée de moyens d'identification gauche/droite par des moyens de détection.The subject of the invention is a shoe intended for cooperate with a sports item, especially a ski, equipped with left / right identification means by means of detection.

Une telle chaussure est connue du brevet EP 0 692 286. Elle est destinée à coopérer avec une fixation équipée de palpeurs actionnés de façon différenciée par la chaussure, palpeurs agissant sur un mécanisme à bascules modifiant le comportement symétrique de la fixation au déclenchement pour lui donner un comportement asymétrique de telle sorte que sa résistance au déclenchement ne soit pas la même dans un sens que dans l'autre pour tenir compte de la résistance différenciée du genou à la torsion dans un sens et dans l'autre. La fixation s'adapte ainsi automatiquement à la chaussure du pied gauche et du pied droit. Les moyens d'identification équipant la chaussure sont constitués d'une forme particulière asymétrique de la chaussure agissant mécaniquement sur les palpeurs. Dans une variante d'exécution, les moyens d'identification sont constitués d'une marque optique palpée par des moyens photoélectriques agissant sur les bascules par l'intermédiaire d'une unité de commande électronique et de deux électroaimants.Such a shoe is known from patent EP 0 692 286. It is intended to cooperate with a fitted attachment of sensors actuated in a differentiated manner by the shoe, feelers acting on a mechanism flip-flops modifying the symmetrical behavior of the fixing on trigger to give it a asymmetrical behavior so that its trip resistance is not the same in a sense that in the other to account for the differentiated knee resistance to torsion in a sense and in the other. The attachment thus adapts automatically to the shoe of the left foot and right foot. The means of identification equipping the shoe are made up of a particular shape asymmetrical shoe acting mechanically on feelers. In an alternative embodiment, the means identification consist of an optical mark palpated by photoelectric means acting on the scales via a control unit electronics and two electromagnets.

Des moyens d'identification mécanique nécessitent une modification de la forme de la chaussure, en particulier de son trottoir avant, c'est-à-dire la fabrication d'un nouveau moule. Quant aux repères optiques, ils peuvent être rendus illisibles par la neige, la salissure ou l'effacement.Mechanical identification means require modification of the shape of the shoe, particular of its front sidewalk, that is to say the manufacture of a new mold. As for the benchmarks optical, they can be made illegible by the snow, dirt or erasure.

L'invention a pour but de permettre d'équiper aisément, même par le détaillant, toutes chaussures, en particulier chaussures de ski, d'un moyen d'identification capable d'être identifié de manière sûre en toute circonstance par l'article de sport, en particulier une fixation de ski.The invention aims to allow to easily equip, even by the retailer, all shoes, particular ski boots, a way capable of being identified in a way safe in all circumstances by the sports article, in especially a ski binding.

La chaussure selon l'invention est caractérisée en ce que les moyens d'identification sont constitués d'au moins une pièce en matériau magnétique logée dans la semelle asymétriquement relativement à l'axe longitudinal médian de la chaussure.The shoe according to the invention is characterized in that that the means of identification consist of at least minus a piece of magnetic material housed in the sole asymmetrically relative to the axis longitudinal median of the shoe.

Cette pièce en matériau magnétique peut être logée dans un trou formé latéralement dans l'épaisseur de la semelle et fermé par un bouchon vissé de manière à pouvoir remplacer la pièce en matériau magnétique. Cette opération peut aisément être exécutée par un détaillant sur une chaussure conventionnelle.This piece of magnetic material can be housed in a hole formed laterally in the thickness of the sole and closed with a screw cap so that ability to replace part made of magnetic material. This can easily be done by a detailing on a conventional shoe.

Dans le cas d'une chaussure en plastique injecté, la pièce en matériau magnétique peut être insérée dans la semelle lors de l'injection.In the case of an injected plastic shoe, the piece of magnetic material can be inserted into the sole during injection.

Ni l'usure, ni la salissure, ni la neige ne gênent la détection de la présence de la pièce en matériau magnétique. Celle-ci est en outre parfaitement abritée et protégée. Neither wear, nor dirt, nor snow interfere with the detection of the presence of the material part magnetic. It is also perfectly sheltered and protected.

Un autre avantage de la chaussure selon l'invention est qu'elle est capable d'actionner directement des moyens mécaniques de positionnement d'une fixation de ski.Another advantage of the shoe according to the invention is that it is capable of directly operating means mechanical positioning of a ski binding.

Le matériau magnétique peut être un aimant permanent agissant sur une pièce en matériau magnétique de l'article de sport ou un matériau ferromagnétique dur ou doux ou encore un matériau ferrimagnétique coopérant avec un aimant permanent équipant l'article de sport, par exemple une fixation de ski.The magnetic material can be a permanent magnet acting on a piece of magnetic material sporting goods or hard ferromagnetic material or soft or a cooperating ferrimagnetic material with a permanent magnet fitted to the sporting goods, for example a ski binding.

La chaussure de sport pourrait être une chaussure destinée à être utilisée avec un autre article de sport tel qu'une bicyclette ou un surf.The sports shoe could be a shoe intended to be used with another sports article such as a bicycle or a surfboard.

Le dessin annexé représente, à titre d'exemple, un mode d'exécution de l'invention.The accompanying drawing shows, by way of example, a mode of the invention.

La figure 1 est une vue latérale de la partie avant d'une chaussure de ski.Figure 1 is a side view of the front part a ski boot.

La figure 2 est une vue de dessus dans laquelle on voit, en arraché, la pièce en matériau magnétique dans son logement.Figure 2 is a top view in which sees, in snatch, the piece of magnetic material in his accommodation.

Sur les figures, on reconnaít la partie avant d'une coque 1 d'une chaussure de ski comprenant une semelle 2 munie d'un trottoir avant 3 pour sa fixation au moyen d'une butée de fixation de ski. Dans l'épaisseur de la semelle 2, parallèlement au plan de cette semelle, est formé un trou borgne 4 situé dans la moitié gauche de la chaussure, c'est-à-dire asymétriquement relativement à l'axe longitudinal médian X de la chaussure. Dans le trou 4 est logé un aimant permanent 5 retenu dans le trou par un bouchon 6 vissé dans le trou 4.In the figures, we recognize the front part of a shell 1 of a ski boot comprising a sole 2 provided with a front sidewalk 3 for its fixing by means a ski binding stop. In the thickness of the sole 2, parallel to the plane of this sole, is formed a blind hole 4 located in the left half of the shoe, that is to say asymmetrically relatively to the median longitudinal axis X of the shoe. In the hole 4 is housed a permanent magnet 5 retained in the hole by a plug 6 screwed into hole 4.

L'aimant permanent 5 peut être détecté purement magnétiquement en actionnant directement une pièce mobile en matériau ferromagnétique ou munie d'un aimant permanent.Permanent magnet 5 can be detected purely magnetically by operating a part directly mobile in ferromagnetic material or fitted with a magnet permanent.

L'aimant peut être disposé en un endroit de la semelle différent de l'endroit représenté. De manière générale, l'aimant sera positionné en fonction de la position de l'organe de la fixation devant le détecter.The magnet can be placed at a location on the sole different from the place shown. Generally, the magnet will be positioned according to the position of the fastener to detect it.

La chaussure pourrait être équipée de plus d'un aimant, par exemple, dans le cas d'une chaussure de ski, d'un aimant à l'avant pour commander un élément de fixation avant et d'un second aimant à l'arrière pour commander un élément de fixation arrière.The shoe could be fitted with more than one magnet, for example, in the case of a ski boot, a magnet on the front to order a fastener front and a second magnet on the back to order a rear fixing element.

En variante, l'aimant permanent 5 pourrait être remplacé par une pièce en matériau ferromagnétique ou ferrimagnétique coopérant avec un aimant permanent monté dans la fixation de ski, par exemple sur une pièce mobile de la fixation.Alternatively, the permanent magnet 5 could be replaced by a piece of ferromagnetic material or ferrimagnetic cooperating with a permanent magnet mounted in the ski binding, for example on a moving part of the fixing.
