Definitions

  • the invention relates to the field of sliding sports. It aims more specifically a shoe intended for the practice of snowboarding. It relates to more particularly the connection between the shoe and the organs which on the shoe cooperate with the binding.
  • snowboard boots can be, depending of the type of practice, either rigid like a ski boot, or flexible.
  • the invention relates in particular, but not exclusively to this second family.
  • This type of shoe generally includes a flexible upper, relatively deformable to allow movement of the leg and be comfortable.
  • This upper is associated with a sole assembly which notably comprises a sole step, relatively flexible and deformable, so as to allow a good course of the foot during walking movements.
  • This sole assembly also includes cooperative bodies with complementary fixings. These cooperation members are mechanically anchored in this sole assembly, and in particular in a reinforcement piece associated with the sole.
  • cooperation bodies There are a large number of types of cooperation bodies, including the geometry and the architecture depend on the type of fixing used. So some fixings cooperate with the shoe at an axis or a transverse plate which protrudes on each side of the shoe. In other standards, fixing cooperates with inserts located on either side of the sole. In systems still different, the attachment may include jaws which come imprison a stud located under the sole of the shoe.
  • the sole assembly, and in particular the reinforcement piece in which are anchored the cooperation bodies with the fixation depends, of course, on the type of these organs.
  • This reinforcement piece can be located inside the shoe, above the tread, and take the form of a frame receiving the foot.
  • This reinforcement piece can also be smaller dimensions, and form a plate which can be optionally embedded inside of the tread, or embedded in a housing provided for this purpose in the outsole.
  • This anchoring creates a rigid mechanical connection allowing the transmission effective efforts from the user's foot to the gliding board.
  • the attachment between the cooperation members of the shoe and the binding is done in at least two points or two contact zones, so that the shoe is completely mechanically secured to the board when the binding is engaged.
  • This joining allows very good transmission of forces necessary for driving.
  • this firm and permanent hanging prohibited lateral movement of the shoe.
  • a problem which the invention therefore proposes to solve is to facilitate the lateral inclination of the leg while ensuring an effective and rigid attachment of the shoe on the binding.
  • the behavior sought is that observed with a strap fastening, the foot can be oriented inside the fastening following a rolling movement resulting from the deformation of the sole assembly combined with a swivel. This allows the foot to receive the sensations in provenance of the board over a relatively large area. In other words, it it is important that this rolling movement of the foot does not take place at the expense of ease of hanging the shoe on the binding.
  • Another problem which the invention seeks to solve is that to reconcile the ability to roll movement with a firm and easy attachment of the shoe on the self-fitting binding.
  • a fixing comprising two elements, namely a base secured to the attachment and a platform mounted on this base.
  • This platform is connected to the base by an axis longitudinal articulation allowing the lateral deflections of the platform, and so from the shoe she receives.
  • This binding has multiple disadvantages. Indeed, due to its architecture, this fixation only works for rigid shoes. Furthermore, only the fraction of the sole of the foot located vertically on the articulation axis can exert support, which translates by loss of sensation. In addition, this fixation keeps the foot relatively away from the board. More specifically, the shoe pivots about an axis which is located below the sole. However, for optimal practice, we rather seek to keep a permanent support.
  • a similar solution has been described in document DE-U-88 15173.5.
  • a such a device includes between the base and the pivoting platform, a layer of compressible material ensuring damping of the lateral movement.
  • This solution has the major drawback of requiring a large number of parts mechanical which increase the cost of fixing, and the risk of breakage mechanical.
  • such a fixing is not designed to trap the shoe by an automatic shoeing, but on the contrary requires manipulations on the part of the user.
  • the shoe After wear of this material, the shoe no longer carries laterally on the board, and therefore pivots freely relative to the longitudinal axes, thus inducing a feeling of instability.
  • the ability lateral movement of such a shoe is difficult to adjust, since it depends almost exclusively on the thickness of the compressible peripheral zone.
  • a problem which the invention proposes to solve is to allow a lateral movement of the shoe relative to the binding or a possibility of roll, while ensuring firm and effective support of the shoe relative to the board, and authorizing the boot automatically.
  • This shoe is characterized in that it comprises an element made of a material having elastic properties interposed between the cooperation members and the sole assembly, said element being able to deform to allow lateral movement or a rolling movement of the shoe in relation to the binding.
  • the bodies for cooperation with the binding are connected to the rigid part of the shoe by an elastic connection which allows a slight relative displacement of these organs relative to the shoe, and therefore of the shoe compared to binding and board. So while maintaining a firm and permanent attachment of the shoe to the binding, the user has an additional degree of freedom allowing roll movement of the shoe with respect to the binding. This additional degree of freedom is conferred by the very structure of the shoe, as opposed to the systems of Art Anterior, in which the possible degrees of freedom result from the configuration of the interface between the shoe and the binding.
  • the deformation of the elastic element is done by compression or tensile in a vertical direction, and by shearing in a horizontal plane.
  • the combination of these two deformations of different natures makes it possible to obtain the Roll movement sought, favorable to the good perception of sensations.
  • this movement is called “rolling”, or preferably by the English expression of "rolling”. This movement results in a displacement vertical different from the two lateral edges of the shoe, with possibly a slight transverse translation.
  • the bodies that cooperate with the fixation can advantageously be anchored in the reinforcement piece.
  • the elastic element can be consisting either of an area of the tread, or also of an element additional interposed between the sole assembly and the cooperation members.
  • the bodies for cooperation with the fixation are placed in a recess in the sole, and the fraction of the sole included between the reinforcement piece and the cooperation members, acts as an element elastic.
  • the walking sole then has sufficient flexibility to deform under the effect of the forces exerted by the user.
  • the cooperation bodies are set up under an additional element, itself arranged under or on the sides of the sole Steps.
  • the shoe can comprise in addition means capable of limiting the movement of the cooperation bodies by compared to the sole assembly.
  • the range of motion of the cooperation bodies is limited, which is useful especially when putting on.
  • the user snaps his shoe into the binding, he exerts a vertical force oriented downwards, which tends to deform the elastic element. If this item elastic deforms too much, the interlocking of the cooperation in complementary fixture arrangements could prove in some difficult, if not impossible, cases.
  • the means for limiting the movement of the cooperation members allow a optimal and automatic fitting.
  • the shoe can comprise also means capable of ensuring pivoting of the cooperation members relative to the reinforcement piece.
  • the elastic element is forced to deform as a function of the pivoting movement of the cooperation members.
  • pivoting means ensure direct transmission of the forces exerted vertically, and which are not intended to induce an inclination of the leg. Screw with regard to these efforts, it is thus possible to avoid stressing the elastic element.
  • the element interposed between the reinforcement piece and the cooperation member may have viscoelastic properties making it possible to favor slow deformations while remaining nervous during deformations fast.
  • this element thus absorbs part of the transmitted vibrations. from the board towards the rest of the shoe.
  • the cooperation bodies may include a transverse axis whose ends are intended to be trapped by jaws of the fastener.
  • the shoe can have a plate covering the transverse axis to maintain the axis transverse under the tread.
  • the plate is secured to the reinforcement piece by the connecting members.
  • the plate can slide relative to these connecting members so as to authorize, but also to limit displacement cooperation members with respect to the reinforcement piece and therefore the underside of the outsole.
  • said axis comprises a bulge coming into contact with the plate, thus allowing the axis to pivot relative to the plate and therefore by relative to the reinforcing element.
  • the shoe according to the invention may include another type of member cooperation, consisting of a transverse plate whose ends are intended to be trapped by the fixation.
  • the shoe can then include connecting members through the plate, which are anchored in the reinforcement piece, and which thus allow the plate to slide relative to the connecting members.
  • This plate can be move relative to the reinforcement piece according to different modes of operation.
  • the material interposed between the plate and the tread works in compression.
  • this same material works in traction.
  • the invention can also be adapted to another type of cooperation device which include two cavity inserts each arranged on one side of the shoe, and intended to receive fixture arrangements, each insert being embedded in a housing formed in the element of material having properties elastic, said element itself being embedded in the tread.
  • the attachment includes levers, part of which is housed in the inserts, on each side of the shoe.
  • These inserts are mounted at inside the thickness of the tread, and are linked to the latter by the characteristic elastic element. These inserts therefore have a certain capacity movement inside the elastic element, which therefore allows the lateral movement of the shoe.
  • the elastic element can itself be embedded in a base itself secured to the reinforcement piece.
  • both bases, each receiving a side insert are integral with each other, which avoids excessive deformation of the sole, and improves the grip and cooperation with fixation.
  • the shoes according to the invention can also accommodate another type of cooperation device, consisting of a stud located under the sole, and intended to be trapped by fixture arrangements, such as jaws.
  • the stud can for example be directly mounted in a obviously under the sole, which has an area of material below the stud elastic constituting the characteristic elastic connection.
  • the shoe can also receive a fully-fledged elastic pad, which is placed in a housing under the sole between the tread and the characteristic stud.
  • the invention is not limited to the only types of cooperation bodies described above, but also covers solutions in which the binding cooperates with the shoe at several points on each side of the shoe. We can thus provide two (or more) axes or transverse plates, or even two (or more) side inserts on each side of the shoe.
  • the invention relates to a surf shoe whose organs of cooperation with the binding are linked to the sole assembly (1), and more in particular to a reinforcement piece (2) associated with the sole, thanks to a connection elastic allowing lateral movement of the shoe.
  • the principle of the invention can be applied to shoes which have very diverse cooperation, each corresponding to different types of fixation.
  • FIGS 1 to 4 describe a shoe equipped with a first type of organs cooperation, taking the form of a transverse axis (5).
  • This transverse axis (5) is arranged at the middle level of the shoe, at the level of the clearance (3) of the sole. It protrudes laterally by its ends (6, 7) which are trapped by jaws or hooks (not shown) of the fastener. These ends (6, 7) are locked at a fixed level with respect to the board, so that the axis transverse (5) is held stationary relative to the binding and therefore the board.
  • This cylindrical axis (5) consists of a metal bar, with a diameter close to 10 millimeters.
  • this bar (5) is sheathed with a tube (10) made of an elastic or even viscoelastic material with a thickness close to a few millimeters or even a centimeter.
  • the bar (5) and the elastic sheath (10) are held integral with the shoe by a plate (12).
  • This plate (12) has at its central level a transverse groove (13) intended to accommodate the transverse axis (5).
  • the width of the groove (13) is slightly greater than the diameter of the transverse axis (5) and of the elastic sheath (10).
  • This plate (12) extends over a substantial part of the width of the sole (1), in the area where it is installed. However, in variants not shown, this plate could be replaced by several independent elements located side by side.
  • the plate (12) is secured to the sole (1), more precisely to the piece of reinforcement (2) by means of four fixing screws (15). These screws can be added during the assembly of the axis (5), or even be replaced by extensions forming an integral part of the reinforcement piece (2) located inside of the shoe.
  • the axis (15) is connected to the plate (12) by means of the elastic material (10) which is integral at the same time of the plate (12) and of the axis (15).
  • the plate (12) is then fixed under the assembly sole (1).
  • the shoe can then move in all directions, within the limits deformation of the elastic element (10).
  • the axis transverse (5) has, at its median level, a bulge (20) allowing it to come into contact with the underside (4) of the tread (1), and the plate (12).
  • the sheath (10) of elastic material is divided into two parts (21, 22) located on either side of the bulge (20).
  • the ends (6, 7) of the transverse axis (5) are trapped and constitute points fixed.
  • the reinforcement piece (2) therefore has a degree of freedom relative to the face top of the board. Indeed, when the user exerts a force F on one side of the reinforcement piece (2), for example when it inclines its leg laterally, the portion (21) of the elastic sheath located between the underside (4) of the sole and the transverse axis (5) tends to compress on the side where the forces are exerted.
  • the contact area between the bulge (20) and the underside (4) of the sole tread (1) forms a pivot point around which the tread (1) as well as the reinforcement piece (2) tend to pivot. So the opposite portion (22) of the elastic sheath tends to be stretched.
  • This deformation is accompanied by the crushing of the area or areas of the outsole which come into contact with the binding or the board.
  • the lateral areas of the tread sole located in front and behind the recess (3) are therefore made from a relatively deformable material.
  • this bulge (20) maintains a certain thickness of the elastic sheath (10) near the center of the axis (5).
  • This bulge ensures also a transmission of the forces exerted vertically from the shoe to the axis (5), and therefore to the attachment. So even when the user exercises significant efforts, by its weight for example, the bulge takes the place of always tilts and allows lateral movement of the shoe. This provision is particularly advantageous during putting on, because it allows the footwear without compression of the elastic element.
  • the plate mounting screws (15) include smooth portions (16) allowing the vertical sliding of the plate.
  • This provision turns out advantageous when fitting the binding.
  • the transverse axis (25) comes into contact with the additional fixture arrangements. The user exerting an effort towards the bottom, the transverse axis (25) therefore approaches the underside (4) of the sole Steps.
  • the sliding capacity of the plate (26) relative to the sole allows the plate to follow the movement of the transverse axis (25), and thus to prevent the elastic sheath (10) connecting the transverse axis (25) the plate (26) from is too strongly stretched.
  • the element made of material elastic (30) can be interposed directly between the upper face of the axle transverse (31) and the underside (4) of the walking sole (1).
  • the transverse axis (31) and the plate (32) are integral one and the other, for example by welding or screwing.
  • the plate (32) has openings (33) inside which passes a smooth part (34) of the fixing screws (35) on the reinforcement piece (2). Thanks to this sliding capacity of the plate (32) by compared to the fixing screws (35), the transverse axis (32) has a capacity of displacement.
  • the axis (31) may also include a bulge similar to the one illustrated in figure 3.
  • Figures 6 to 8 relate to shoes fitted with another type of bodies for cooperation with the fixing, consisting of a transverse plate (45). Nevertheless, certain operating principles stated for the variant previous are also respected.
  • the members for cooperation with the attachment consist of a transverse plate (45).
  • This plate (45) has a length, measured in the longitudinal direction of the shoe on the order of a few centimeters.
  • the dimension of the plate in the transverse direction corresponds substantially to the width of the sole (41).
  • the lateral ends (46, 47) of this plate (45) are located directly above the lateral zones (43) of the sole (41).
  • housings (48, 49) intended to accommodate the fixing jaws or hooks (not shown).
  • the underside of the tread (41) receives an element (50) in elastic material such as natural or synthetic rubber, of hardness between 30 Shore A and 60 Shore D, which comes by its face upper (51) in contact with the tread (41).
  • This element (50) in elastic material has a slightly pyramidal shape to form the lateral housings (48, 49) into which the arrangements of fixation, while maintaining a sufficient volume of material to ensure the effect elastic desired.
  • the invention is not limited to this single form elastic element but covers other variants of geometry.
  • This elastomeric element (50) may be an element added at the time of mounting the cooperation plate. It can also be an integral part of the outsole and be molded with it.
  • the elastic element can also be partially inserted inside a cavity (not shown) provided for this purpose under the tread.
  • the transverse plate (45) has one or more openings (52) allowing the passage of connecting members (53) with the reinforcement piece (42) integral with the sole (41) of the shoe. These openings (52) are made in recesses (56) set back from the lower face (57) of the plate (45), to allow the accommodation of the connecting members (53).
  • These liaison bodies (53) may be screws or any other similar means secured to the reinforcement piece when mounting the cross plate. These liaison bodies can also be downward extensions of the reinforcement piece (42), and have ends allowing the establishment of the transverse plate.
  • the openings (52) in the transverse plate (45) have a sufficient diameter to allow lateral movement of the transverse plate (45) when the latter inclines relative to the underside (44) of the tread (41).
  • the lower end (54) of the connecting members (53) is wide enough to cooperate with the bottom of the recesses (56) provided in the plate (45) and thus prohibit any movement of the plate (45) below of a certain level.
  • the connecting members are therefore arranged to limit this stretching, and avoid possible tearing or at least takeoff of the elastic element (50) relative to the underside of the sole.
  • the connecting members (53) include a shoulder (58) against which abuts the upper face of the plate (45) when the elastic element (50) is very compressed. This limits the crushing of the elastic element when the shoe is highly stressed, and in particular during the operations of boot.
  • the reinforcement piece (62) can assume a shape as it extends downwards to open out under the tread.
  • the elastic element (60) is put in place under the protuberance (63) of the reinforcement piece (62).
  • the plate (65) located under the elastic element (60) is anchored in the reinforcement piece (62) by means of screws which can advantageously include shoulders (68) identical to those described in the Figure 7.
  • the shape of the protrusion (63) of the reinforcement piece (62) and the plate (65) define the lateral housings (69) into which the fastening arrangements (not shown).
  • the plate transverse may have a bulge ensuring its pivoting relative to the sole assembly, like the bulge (30) illustrated in FIG. 3.
  • FIGS. 9 and 10 illustrate an alternative embodiment operating on a particular type of shoe, such as that described in the document FR 2 786 371 of the Applicant. More specifically, these are flexible shoes whose the reinforcement piece (112) has protrusions sinking into the sole of step (111). More precisely, and as illustrated in FIG. 9, the rigid reinforcement (112) has four zones crossing part of the thickness of the sole of step (111), to come close to the underside of the latter. These protruding zones form four studs (115-118) by which the supports exercised by the user are effectively transmitted to the board. These studs come into contact with the board or binding when the shoe is held by the fixing.
  • the stiffness of the reinforcement (112) prevents the tread (111) to deform as for the variants described above.
  • the plaque transverse (45) can therefore move relative to the tread (111) under tensile forces generated, especially when the user tilts his shoe around a side edge.
  • the reinforcement (112) has two portions (113,114) descending nearby of the underside (119) of the tread (111).
  • the background (120,121) of these portions (113,114) is drilled to let connecting members pass (122,123) which cross the tread (111) to anchor in the plate transverse (45).
  • the connecting members In their upper part, the connecting members have a stop (124,125) blocking the upper part of a spring (126,127) working in compression.
  • These springs (126,127) also rest on the bottom (120,121) of the protruding areas (113,114).
  • the shape of the protruding areas (113,114) may differ from that drawn in FIG. 10, as soon as the reinforcement has an area against which can compress the spring.
  • the spring could be replaced by another elastic means such as a pad of elastomeric material for example.
  • the traction mode described above can also be transposed to other types of cooperation body, such as in particular the axis transverse described in Figures 1 to 5.
  • the tread (111) can at level of the support pads, have a transverse curvature facing upwards.
  • the binding (130) has a similar curvature, so that the tread (111) can more easily move laterally, depending on the roll movement mentioned above.
  • the protruding studs (115-118) located under the rigid reinforcement (112) have a lower face (131,132) which is not parallel to the upper plane (133) of the board, but oriented according to the curvature of the underside of the tread (111). In this way, when a vertical force F is exerted on one side of the shoe, the component F ⁇ parallel to the underside (134) of the walking sole (111) induces a slight transverse movement participating in the rolling movement.
  • Figures 12 and 13 relate to shoes fitted with another type bodies for cooperation with fixation, more particularly consisting of inserts lateral (75) housed in the thickness of the tread (71).
  • the walking sole (71) of the shoe includes, approximately at the median level of its length, a reinforcement piece (72) which extends on either side of the shoe.
  • This piece of reinforcement (72) receives the user's foot on its upper face (79).
  • this reinforcement piece (72) receives two lateral inserts (75).
  • These inserts (75) consist of metallic or plastic parts forming a cavity, substantially parallelepiped shape, and having an opening (78) oriented on the outside of the sole (71).
  • These inserts (75) are intended to receive the end of a jaw forming part of the attachment (not shown).
  • inserts (75) are embedded inside a housing (79) formed in the element of elastic material (70) which comes into contact with the insert (75) on all the faces of the latter located inside the volume of the tread (71).
  • the thickness of this element of elastic material (70) is of the order of a few millimeters on the upper (73) and lower (76) faces of the insert (75) and on the order of 1 millimeter on the front and back sides and on the inside (74) of the insert (75).
  • the elements (75) of elastic material are embedded in a base (80) made up of a metallic or plastic part which follows the external contour of the elastic element (70), on all the faces of the latter located inside the volume of the tread (71). However, in some forms particular, this base may only be present on the upper, inner faces and lower of the elastic element (70), excluding the front and rear faces of this last.
  • the two bases (80, 81) are each embedded in the part of reinforcement (72) which is either embedded inside the tread (71), as in the form illustrated, either placed above the latter inside the shoe ..

  • the upper face (96) of this stud (95) comes to contact of the underside (97) of an element (90) of elastic material, which comes itself in contact with the underside (94) of the tread (91).
  • the shape of the elastic element (90) can be variable depending on that of the stud (95).
  • This element can therefore adopt for example a cylindrical configuration, resting on the upper face (96) of the stud (95).
  • this stud can also be partly embedded in a housing provided for this purpose under the tread (91).
  • This stud can also be part integral with the outsole by constituting a downward extension obtained by multi-injection techniques

So when efforts are exerted by the user on the reinforcement piece (102), and that the latter are not parallel to the connecting member (108), the latter pivots relative to the stud (105) causing the crushing of one side of the elastic element (100). The shoe therefore undergoes a lateral movement sought.
