Definitions
- the present invention relates to a power tightening device using a lace-type link and intended to equip an article of footwear used, in particular, but not limited to, to the practice of sport.
- This power tightening is more specifically intended for shoes, the upper of which is reinforced, and in particular used for the practice of snowboarding, inline skating, downhill skiing, ski touring and Telemark, ice skating. , ... etc.
- Document FR 2 752 686 proposes a first alternative by describing a variable section lace.
- the central portion is of small diameter in order to slide easily in the references and the ends of the lace have upper sections in order to bring more comfort for the hands.
- this system even if it allows to correctly tension the lace does not allow to maintain the tension because of a blocking of the lace by a knot. Indeed, during the time necessary for the execution of the knot the user is forced to release the tension in the lace.
- the system is expensive to implement because it requires specific means for the manufacture of the lace.
- the document FR 2 706 743 describes a tightening device where the lace of small section passes through references which minimize friction and form a loop.
- the lace is blocked by an independent blocker which slides along the lace outside the lacing area.
- the blocker keeps the tension in the lace.
- the user cannot put significant tension in the lace. Indeed, it is obliged to grasp with at least one finger the loop of the lace and to pull it which quickly causes shearing of the skin due to the small diameter of the lace.
- One of the aims of the present invention is to provide a tightening device for an article of footwear using a link which makes it possible to guarantee a powerful tightening, while retaining the comfort of the user during the tightening phase.
- Another object of the invention is to propose an inexpensive clamping device which does not require the implementation of specific means for the manufacture of the link.
- the tightening device comprises a link which connects by a predetermined route at least two reference elements arranged on different parts to be brought closer to the footwear, and which forms a loop located outside the
- the link is equipped at the loop with a gripping device which allows the user to effectively pull with at least one hand on the link.
- This gripping device includes a rigid frame allowing the tension of the link to be distributed over the hand.
- this clamping device comprises a locking means integrated in the return elements which are positioned at the junction of the lacing zone and the loop. Thus, the user can maintain the tension in the link and therefore in the lacing area during the blocking.
- the gripping device is positioned at one of the ends of the clamping zone.
- the gripping device is positioned perpendicular to the clamping zone.
- FIG. 1 represents a side view of an article of footwear equipped with the tightening device according to the first embodiment in a first tightening phase.
- FIG. 2 represents a side view of the footwear fitted with the tightening device according to the first embodiment in a second tightening phase.
- Figure 3 illustrates a front view of a detail of the gripping device.
- Figure 4 illustrates a three-quarter view from above of the clamping device according to the second embodiment.
- the footwear CH shown is a snowboard boot.
- the invention applies to any type of shoe whose flexible upper is reinforced either to increase the bending stiffness of the upper, or to protect the foot and the ankle from external shocks and attacks.
- the invention also applies to shoes provided with an external rigid shell made for example of plastic, in particular used for the practice of alpine skiing, snowboarding, in-line skating, ice skating, cross-country skiing hiking or telemark skiing.
- the footwear CH comprises an upper O which has two parts 12a and 12b intended to be brought closer to each other by the tightening device.
- This clamping device generally comprises a clamping zone 16 which here decomposes into two zones 16e and 16f.
- the clamping zone 16 comprises, in a conventional and known manner, return elements 50a to 54a and 50b to 54b positioned respectively on each of the two parts 12a and 12b.
- the link 15 can advantageously connect all the return elements to perfect the tightening.
- the link 15 forms a loop 2 which is located outside of the tightening zone 16.
- the clamping device also comprises a means 20 for blocking the link 15.
- Figure 1 illustrates more precisely the first tightening phase of the device which is intended to tighten a shoe with a high upper.
- This phase ensures the tightening of the lower tightening zone 16e which extends approximately from the metatarsophalangeal joint to the ankle while making it possible to firmly maintain the kick in the footwear CH.
- the lower clamping zone 16e comprises a series of return elements 53a and 53b advantageously having a device adapted to reduce the friction of the link 15 in said return elements.
- the lower clamping zone 16e ends in two reference elements 52a and 52b, arranged on each of the parts 12a and 12b, which possibly have specific functions detailed later, and which separate the two clamping zones 16e and 16f.
- This gripping device 1 allows the user of the footwear CH to easily catch loop 2, and easily exert on loop 2 an IF force generally oriented upwards.
- This force FI generates a tension in each strand of the link 15 which contributes to the clamping power of the present clamping device by bringing the two parts 12a and 12b together.
- the tension in each strand of the link 15 corresponding substantially to half of said force FI, it is important that the gripping device 1 ensures the comfort of the user during tightening.
- the gripping device 1 comprises a frame 3 which is rigid. This rigid nature makes it possible to distribute the tension of the link 15 on the user's hand by limiting the phenomenon of shearing of the link on the skin. Thus, the more the sensation of pain on the hand is removed, the more the user will be able to strongly pull on the gripping device 1.
- the rigid frame 3 may advantageously be made of a material which has a certain resistance to bending, such as in particular thermoplastic materials such as polyamide, polypropylene, and according to a suitable geometry which favors greater inertia according to the direction of the force FI .
- This function is provided by a locking means 22 which is integrated with the return elements 52a and 52b. These elements 52a and 52b simultaneously provide a sliding function in one direction, and a locking function in another direction.
- the return elements 52a, 52b can in particular be constructed as described in FR 2 757 026. In order to combine these two functions, it is possible to orient, in a suitable manner, the reference elements 52a and 52b on the rod O, so that the action of the force FI on the link 15 allows the link to slide in the elements. 52a and 52b, and also allows to exercise a non-return action.
- the reference elements 52a, 52b, 53a and 53b which are located in the lower clamping zone 16e, include guide means suitable for do not let the link 15 escape during the loosening.
- One way of implementing these guiding means consists in using return elements which include a tunnel from which the link 15 cannot escape inadvertently.
- FIG. 2 illustrates the second and final tightening phase of the footwear CH which is still a shoe intended for the practice of snowboarding.
- This tightening phase makes it possible to tighten the upper tightening zone 16f by bringing the parts 12a and 12b closer to the rod O.
- the present tightening device therefore makes it possible to dissociate the tightenings and their intensities for the lower tightening zone 16e and the zone of upper clamping 16f. Indeed, the tightening of the upper clamping area 16f has no effect on the tightening of the lower clamping area 16e thanks to the blocking function of the link 15 which is integrated with the reference elements 52a and 52b.
- the user begins by manually positioning the link 15 in the reference elements 51a and 50a and their symmetrical elements, located on the opposite part 12b.
- the user crosses the link 15, in known manner, going up from the return element 52a to the return element 50a.
- the return elements 50a, 50b, 51a and 51b, located in the upper clamping zone 16f are of the hook type. That is to say, they are open so as to retain the link 15 in the direction which brings the two parts 12a and 12b closer to the rod O.
- the reference elements 50a and 50b which are positioned at the end of the clamping zone 16 and at the junction of the upper clamping zone 16f and the loop 2, incorporate a locking means 23.
- This locking means is substantially similar to locking means 22 disposed on the reference elements 52a and 52b and described above.
- the user can block the link 15 by pulling in the direction of the force F3 if the reference elements 50a and 50b are arranged on the rod O in a specific orientation. Otherwise, the user pulls on the gripping device 1 with the force F3 then moves forward in a direction F4 said device 1 to ensure the locking of the link 15 according to a mechanism previously described.
- the blocking means 20 can be integrated in an independent blocking element 21 which is slidably mounted on the loop 2.
- the locking element 21 is preferably slidably mounted simultaneously on the two strands of the loop 2.
- the locking means 20 can be produced by two sliding blockers respectively on each of the strands of the loop 2. In this case, the user will have to move the two blockers in order to obtain blocking of the link 15.
- FIG. 2 illustrates this combination with blocking means 23 integrated into the reference elements 50a and 50b and the blocking element 21 mounted on the loop 2 of the link 15.
- the tension obtained by the rigid frame 3 of the gripping device 1 is so great that, in the case of a traditional lace or even a cord, the user would spend his energy to deform the lace instead of bring the two parts 12a and 12b together.
- the best results have been obtained with a link produced with a kevlar or aramid link, and the outside diameter of which is between 2 and 4 mm.
- FIG. 3 illustrates a detail of the clamping device at the level of the gripping device 1 and of its rigid frame 3.
- This frame 3 has a contact surface 4 which is complementary to at least three fingers 25x, 25y and 25z of the hand M.
- This contact surface 4 has three receptacles 4x, 4y and 4z which respectively match the morphology of the fingers 25x, 25y and 25z in the folded position around the frame 3. Tests have shown that to obtain better clamping power, the fingers used are preferably the index, middle and ring fingers.
- the framework 3 also serves to close the loop 2 formed by the link 15.
- the gripping device 1 comprises hooking means 5c and 5d which are able to cooperate respectively with the two ends 15c and 15d of the link 15.
- the attachment means 5c, 5d can be constituted by a wall 100, perpendicular to the link 15, which is an integral part of the rigid frame 3. In this wall 100 is arranged a hole 101 through which the end 15c of the link 15 passes. This end 15c is equipped with a locking means such as a node 102 whose diameter is greater than the diameter of the hole 101.
- the link 15 can also cross the framework 3 right through.
- the ends 15c and 15d of the link 15 are connected to reference elements 54a and 54b situated substantially at the ends of the tightening zone 16.
- the loop 2 which comprises the framework 3 is not located at one end of the clamping area 16.
- the loop 2 is located outside the clamping area 16 but extends substantially perpendicular to the plane defined by the clamping area 16 so as to split said area 16 into two sub - clamping zones 105 and 106.
- the gripping device can be provided with an improvement not illustrated.
- the gripping device comprises a means for hooking complementary to the footwear which makes it possible to store said gripping device on the footwear.
- This attachment means can advantageously be of the self-gripping type or else in the form of a press button.
- the footwear may also be provided with a pocket or a strap forming a loop in which the gripping device could be housed outside the tightening and loosening phases.
- the gripping device may advantageously include comfort elements, made of a material that is less hard than that of the frame, and positioned at the level of the contact surface intended to be in contact with the fingers of the hand.
