Abstract
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 to cooperate with a sporting article, in particular a ski, equipped with left / right identification means by detection means.
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 binding equipped with feelers actuated in a differentiated manner by the boot, feelers acting on a rocking mechanism modifying the symmetrical behavior of the binding upon release to give it asymmetrical behavior so that its resistance to release is not the same in one direction as in the other to take into account the differentiated resistance of the knee to twist in one direction and the other. The binding thus automatically adapts to the shoe of the left and right feet. The identification means equipping the shoe consist of a particular asymmetrical shape of the shoe acting mechanically on the feelers. In an alternative embodiment, the identification means consist of an optical mark palpated by photoelectric means acting on the scales by means of an electronic control unit 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 a modification of the shape of the shoe, in 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 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 object of the invention is to allow any shoe, in particular ski boot, to be easily fitted, even by the retailer, with an identification means capable of being identified in any circumstance by the article of sport, in particular 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 the identification means consist of at least one piece of magnetic material housed in the sole asymmetrically relative to the median longitudinal axis 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 by a screw cap so as to be able to replace the piece of magnetic material. This can easily be done by a retailer 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, dirt, nor snow interfere with the detection of the presence of the part made of magnetic material. 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 boot according to the invention is that it is capable of directly actuating mechanical means for positioning 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 of the sports article or a hard or soft ferromagnetic material or else a ferrimagnetic material cooperating with a permanent magnet equipping the sport article, for example a fixing of ski.
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 board.
Le dessin annexé représente, à titre d'exemple, un mode d'exécution de l'invention.
- La figure 1 est une vue latérale de la partie avant d'une chaussure de ski.
- La figure 2 est une vue de dessus dans laquelle on voit, en arraché, la pièce en matériau magnétique dans son logement.
- Figure 1 is a side view of the front part of a ski boot.
- Figure 2 is a top view in which there is seen, broken away, the piece of magnetic material in its housing.
Sur les figures, on reconnaît 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 of 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 the 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.The permanent magnet 5 can be detected purely magnetically by directly actuating a moving part made of ferromagnetic material or provided with a permanent magnet.
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 location shown. Generally, the magnet will be positioned as a function of the position of the fixing member that has 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 boot could be equipped with more than one magnet, for example, in the case of a ski boot, a magnet at the front to control a front fastening element and a second magnet at 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 or ferrimagnetic material cooperating with a permanent magnet mounted in the ski binding, for example on a movable part of the binding.
