Abstract

The ski boot has a molded plastic shell (2) whose top includes a tongue (12) which folds across. This forms part of a flexible upper (1) and is attached to the shell at the front by an elastic strip (15).

Description

La présente invention a pour objet une chaussure de ski comprenant une coque à volume variable au moins partiellement en matière plastique moulée divisée, par une ligne d'ouverture longitudinale, en un côté externe et un côté interne, l'un de ces côtés présentant un rabat présentant un côté latéral antérieur et un côté latéral postérieur, ce rabat venant s'appliquer sur l'autre côté lors de la fermeture de la chaussure.The present invention relates to a ski boot comprising a variable volume shell at least partly of molded plastic divided by a longitudinal opening line, on an external side and an internal side, one of these sides having a flap with an anterior lateral side and a side posterior lateral, this flap being applied on the other side when closing the shoe.

Les chaussures de ski modernes à volume variable comprennent une coque se refermant sur le pied par deux rabats appliqués l'un sur l'autre par des moyens de fermeture et de serrage. Les extrémités antérieures de ces rabats définissent une fente transversale dans la partie avant de la coque afin de permettre aux rabats de s'ouvrir pour faciliter l'introduction du pied dans la chaussure. Pour assurer l'étanchéité de la coque à l'endroit de cette fente, on dispose généralement une garniture d'étanchéité sur une portée de la coque s'étendant sous les extrémités des rabats. Cette garniture présente en outre généralement des prolongement s'étendant au-delà des extrémités de la fente transversale de manière à assurer une bonne étanchéité aux extrémités de la fente. Toutefois, même à l'état écrasé, il s'est avéré qu'une telle garniture d'étanchéité n'empêche pas totalement l'infiltration d'eau à l'extrémité antérieure, particulièrement exposée, des rabats. Ceci est dû à la discontinuité de surface apparaissant au bord latéral du rabat inférieur recouvert par le rabat supérieur. Cette discontinuité crée un espace qui n'est jamais complètement occupé par le caoutchouc de la garniture d'étanchéité, celle-ci, même tendre, ne pouvant se déformer suffisamment pour obstruer totalement l'entrée de cet espace.Modern variable volume ski boots include a shell closing on the foot by two flaps applied to each other by means of closing and tightening. The anterior ends of these flaps define a transverse slot in the front part of the shell to allow the flaps to open to facilitate the introduction of the foot into the shoe. To seal the hull the location of this slot, we generally have a seal on a span of the hull extending under the ends of the flaps. This trim also generally has extension extending beyond the ends of the transverse slit so as to ensure good sealing at the ends of the slot. However, even in the crushed state, it turned out that such a garnish sealing does not completely prevent infiltration water at the anterior end, especially exposed, flaps. This is due to the discontinuity of surface appearing at the lateral edge of the lower flap covered by the upper flap. This discontinuity creates a space that is never completely occupied by the rubber of the seal, this one, even tender, unable to deform enough to completely block the entrance to this space.

L'utilisation d'une mousse synthétique à cellule ouverte et donc très compressible ne permet pas d'améliorer l'étanchéité, car il s'est avéré que l'humidité pénètre dans la mousse par effet de pompage puis pénètre ensuite à l'intérieur de la coque. Dans le modèle d'utilité DE 83 36 239, il a été proposé d'utiliser une pièce en matériau élastique présentant des nervures en regard des rabats, l'écrasement élastique de ces nervures par les rabats devant assurer une meilleure étanchéité. Cette amélioration ne permet toutefois pas de résoudre le problème évoqué plus haut.The use of synthetic cell foam open and therefore very compressible does not allow improve the seal, as it turned out that moisture enters the foam by pumping effect then enters the interior of the hull. In the utility model DE 83 36 239, it has been proposed to use a piece of elastic material having ribs facing the flaps, crushing elastic of these ribs by the flaps to ensure better sealing. This improvement only allows however, not to solve the problem mentioned above.

Dans le brevet EP 0 583 565 est décrite une pièce d'étanchéité présentant deux ailes, l'une de ces ailes s'étendant sous le rabat inférieur et en avant de celui-ci, tandis que l'autre aile s'étend entre les deux rabats. L'étanchéité est certes améliorée vers l'avant, mais une discontinuité est formée à l'arrière, en dessous du cou-de-pied. En outre, à l'avant, la surélévation du rabat supérieur crée une retenue de la neige peu favorable à l'étanchéité. Cette surépaisseur du rabat supérieur est également gênante latéralement.In patent EP 0 583 565 a part is described seal having two wings, one of these wings extending under the lower flap and in front of this one, while the other wing extends between the two flaps. Sealing is certainly improved towards the front, but a discontinuity is formed at the back, below the instep. In addition, at the front, the raising the upper flap creates a retention of the snow not very waterproof. This extra thickness of the upper flap is also troublesome laterally.

Dans la construction décrite dans le modèle d'utilité DE 297 19 568, on a proposé d'améliorer l'étanchéité en supprimant la fente transversale sur l'un des côtés de la ligne d'ouverture longitudinale de telle sorte que l'on a pratiquement un seul rabat. La fente transversale subsistante est fermée par une garniture d'étanchéité présentant un profil variable. Les problèmes inhérents à la présence d'une garniture compressible subsistent. Dans le document EP 0 683 991 est proposée une construction exempte de garniture d'étanchéité. Comme dans le cas précédemment cité, la coque à volume variable est munie d'un seul rabat dont l'extrémité antérieure est prolongée par une patte venant recouvrir presque entièrement la partie frontale de la ligne d'ouverture. Dans ce cas, l'étanchéité est assurée par l'application de cette patte sur la coque. Il est évident qu'une telle fermeture n'est pas complètement étanche. Il subsiste en outre une fente transversale non recouverte. L'étanchéité peut être améliorée en recouvrant cette patte par une extension d'une sangle de fermeture.In the construction described in the utility model DE 297 19 568, it has been proposed to improve the sealing by removing the transverse slit on one side of the longitudinal opening line so that there is practically only one flap. Slot remaining cross is closed by a gasket seal with a variable profile. The inherent problems with a trim compressible remain. In document EP 0 683 991 a construction free of packing is proposed sealing. As in the previously cited case, the variable-volume hull has a single flap, the anterior end is extended by a leg almost completely covering the front of the opening line. In this case, the seal is ensured by the application of this tab on the hull. Obviously, such a closure is not completely waterproof. There is also a gap cross-section not covered. The seal can be improved by covering this tab with an extension a closure strap.

Du brevet US 6,021,589, au nom du demandeur, on connaít par ailleurs une chaussure de ski comprenant une tige souple en forme de botte entourée d'une armature en forme de berceau ajouré fixée à la tige souple par une matière plastique injectée autour de l'armature et à travers la semelle ajourée.US patent 6,021,589, in the name of the applicant, we know furthermore a ski boot comprising an upper flexible boot-shaped frame surrounded by perforated cradle shape fixed to the flexible rod by a plastic material injected around the frame and through the openwork sole.

La présente invention s'inspire de cette dernière construction pour réaliser une étanchéité au niveau du rabat sans garniture auxiliaire.The present invention is inspired by the latter construction to achieve a seal at the flap without auxiliary trim.

La chaussure selon l'invention est plus précisément caractérisée en ce que le dessus de la coque, dans lequel est formé le rabat et dans lequel est située la ligne d'ouverture longitudinale, fait partie d'une tige souple entourée, dans sa partie inférieure, par la matière plastique moulée et en ce que le côté latéral antérieur du rabat est relié à la tige par une partie élastique extensible.The shoe according to the invention is more precisely characterized in that the top of the hull, in which is formed the flap and in which is located the longitudinal opening line, part of a rod flexible surrounded, in its lower part, by the molded plastic and in that the lateral side front of the flap is connected to the rod by a part elastic stretch.

La partie élastique extensible est de préférence en tissu élastique, plus précisément bi-élastique.The elastic stretch part is preferably made of elastic fabric, more precisely bi-elastic.

Selon un mode d'exécution préféré de l'invention, la partie supérieure de la tige souple, destinée à entourer la cheville, est également reliée au rabat et à la partie opposée au rabat par des parties élastiques extensibles.According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, the upper part of the flexible rod, intended for surround the ankle, is also connected to the flap and to the part opposite the flap by elastic parts extensible.

Le dessin annexé représente, à titre d'exemple, un mode d'exécution de la chaussure selon l'invention.The accompanying drawing shows, by way of example, a mode of execution of the shoe according to the invention.

La figure 1 en représente une vue en perspective sans collier ni bouclerie.Figure 1 shows a perspective view without necklace or buckles.

La figure 2 est une vue en coupe selon II-II de la figure 1.Figure 2 is a sectional view along II-II of the figure 1.

La figure 3 représente la chaussure complète.Figure 3 shows the complete shoe.

La figure 4 est une vue en coupe selon IV-IV de la figure 3.Figure 4 is a sectional view along IV-IV of the figure 3.

La chaussure représentée est constituée d'une tige souple 1 en forme de botte s'ouvrant sur le devant et d'une coque 2 injectée en plastique relativement rigide, la tige 1 et la coque 2 étant solidarisées par l'injection, par le bas, d'une matière plastique souple 3 injectée entre la tige souple 1 et la coque 2 comme décrit dans le brevet US 6,021,589. La tige 1 est essentiellement constituée d'un matériau textile. Dans sa partie supérieure destinée à entourer le bas de la jambe, la tige 1 est doublée de plastique 4. La coque 2 présente des ajours tels que 5 destinés à réduire son poids. A travers l'ajour 5 on peut voir la tige 1. Le plastique souple 3 forme une zone intermédiaire entre le bord de la coque 2 s'étendant sur le dessus du pied et la tige 1. De manière connue, la semelle est munie à l'arrière d'une talonnette 6 en caoutchouc dur et à l'avant d'une plaque correspondante 7 en même matériau.The shoe shown consists of an upper flexible 1 boot-shaped opening on the front and a relatively injected plastic shell 2 rigid, the rod 1 and the shell 2 being secured by injection from the bottom of a flexible plastic material 3 injected between the flexible rod 1 and the shell 2 as described in US Patent 6,021,589. Rod 1 is essentially made of a textile material. In its upper part intended to surround the bottom of the leg, rod 1 is lined with plastic 4. Shell 2 has openings such as 5 intended to reduce its weight. Through the opening 5 we can see the rod 1. The flexible plastic 3 forms an intermediate zone between the edge of the shell 2 extending over the top of the foot and the upper 1. In known manner, the sole is provided with the back of a hard rubber heel 6 and the front of a corresponding plate 7 of the same material.

Un collier non représenté vient s'articuler sur la coque 2 dans les zones 8 et deux boucles viennent se fixer sur la coque 2, en avant de la zone 8.A necklace, not shown, is articulated on the shell 2 in zones 8 and two loops come fix on hull 2, in front of zone 8.

Dans la partie de la tige 1 s'étendant sur le pied, celle-ci présente une ligne d'ouverture longitudinale 9 s'arrêtant sur une ligne transversale 10.In the part of the rod 1 extending over the foot, this has a longitudinal opening line 9 stopping on a transverse line 10.

La ligne d'ouverture 9 divise le dessus de la tige 1 en deux rabats 11 et 12. L'extrémité antérieure du rabat 11 est entièrement reliée à la partie 13 de la tige s'étendant en avant de la ligne transversale 10 de telle sorte que seul le côté postérieur 14 du rabat 11 présente une certaine liberté. Au niveau de la ligne transversale 10, la chaussure se comporte donc comme si elle ne comportait qu'un seul rabat 12. Ce rabat 12 est relié à la ligne transversale 10 par un matériau élastique bi-extensible 15 tel que du LYCRA (marque déposée). Le rabat 12 destiné à s'appliquer sur le rabat 11 et à recevoir la pression des boucles est doublé de mousse et le matériau élastique 15 s'étend sous le rabat en formant une doublure.The opening line 9 divides the top of the rod 1 into two flaps 11 and 12. The front end of the flap 11 is fully connected to part 13 of the rod extending in front of transverse line 10 of so that only the rear side 14 of the flap 11 presents a certain freedom. At the line level transverse 10, the shoe therefore behaves as if it had only one flap 12. This flap 12 is connected to the transverse line 10 by a material bi-stretch elastic 15 such as LYCRA (brand Mark). The flap 12 intended to be applied on the flap 11 and to receive the pressure of the loops is lined with foam and elastic material 15 extends under the flap forming a lining.

La partie de la tige destinée à entourer le bas de jambe est découpée de manière à former deux rabats 16 et 17. Le rabat 16 est relié au rabat 11 par un tissu bi-élastique 18 identique au matériau de la partie 15. De même, le rabat 17 est relié au rabat 12 par une partie 19 bi-élastique de même matériau que les parties 15 et 18.The part of the stem intended to surround the bottom of leg is cut so as to form two flaps 16 and 17. The flap 16 is connected to the flap 11 by a fabric bi-elastic 18 identical to the material of part 15. Similarly, the flap 17 is connected to the flap 12 by a bi-elastic part 19 of the same material as the parts 15 and 18.

Les parties élastiques 15, 18 et 19 permettent d'avoir des rabats 12, 16 et 17 relativement très larges et permettant, par conséquent, une grande ouverture de chaussage, tout en assurant une continuité de la tige de chaque côté de la ligne d'ouverture en assurant ainsi une bonne étanchéité de la chaussure. La chaussure allie ainsi confort de chaussage et déchaussage et étanchéité.The elastic parts 15, 18 and 19 make it possible to have relatively wide flaps 12, 16 and 17 and allowing, therefore, a large opening of footwear, while ensuring continuity of the upper on each side of the opening line ensuring thus a good seal of the shoe. The shoe thus combines shoe comfort and heaving and waterproofing.

La chaussure complète est représentée aux figures 3 et 4. Elle comprend un collier 20 articulé dans les zones 8 de la coque 2 en deux points opposés situés sur une droite transversale à la chaussure, l'un de ces points, 21, étant visible à la figure 3.The complete shoe is shown in Figures 3 and 4. It includes a collar 20 articulated in the zones 8 of the shell 2 at two opposite points located on a right across the shoe, one of these points, 21, being visible in FIG. 3.

Le collier 20 est en partie constitué des rabats 16 et 17 de la tige souple 1. Plus précisément, le collier 20 est constitué en partie d'une pièce 22 en plastique semi-rigide qui n'entoure que partiellement la tige, c'est-à-dire la jambe en position fermée de la chaussure, et en partie des rabats 16 et 17. La partie semi-rigide en plastique 22 est fixée au rabat 16 par un rivet 23 et au rabat 17 par un rivet 24 servant simultanément de point d'attache d'une sangle 25 portant une crémaillère 26 sur laquelle vient s'accrocher un crochet 27 faisant partie d'une bouclerie comprenant un levier-tendeur 28 monté sur la partie en plastique semi-rigide 22. On peut voir sur le dessin que la hauteur de la partie semi-rigide 22 du collier diminue à partir des côtés du collier en allant vers l'avant. Les extrémités antérieures de la partie semi-rigide 22 du collier ne viennent donc pas se superposer comme c'est le cas des colliers selon l'art antérieur entièrement en matière plastique semi-rigide, mais le collier vient se fermer par les rabats souples 16 et 17 de telle sorte que le collier vient entourer et serrer la jambe en s'adaptant mieux à la morphologie de la jambe, sans créer de pression localisée douloureuse. La souplesse des rabats 16 et 17 permet en outre d'ouvrir plus facilement et complètement le collier pour le chaussage et le déchaussage. On relève que le rabat souple 17, c'est-à-dire le rabat correspondant au côté interne du pied, vient recouvrir, sur le devant du collier, la partie en matière plastique semi-rigide 22 en position fermée de la chaussure, comme ceci est visible à la figure 4. A la figure 3, la partie recouvrante a été enlevée pour montrer la forme de la partie semi-rigide et le rivet 23. The collar 20 is partly made up of the flaps 16 and 17 of the flexible rod 1. More precisely, the collar 20 partly consists of a plastic part 22 semi-rigid which only partially surrounds the rod, that is to say the leg in the closed position of the shoe, and part of the flaps 16 and 17. The part semi-rigid plastic 22 is fixed to the flap 16 by a rivet 23 and to the flap 17 by a rivet 24 serving simultaneously from the attachment point of a strap 25 bearing a rack 26 on which comes hook a hook 27 part of a fittings comprising a tensioning lever 28 mounted on the semi-rigid plastic part 22. We can see on the drawing that the height of the semi-rigid part 22 of the collar decreases from the sides of the collar going forward. The front ends of the part semi-rigid 22 of the collar therefore do not come superimpose as is the case with necklaces according to art front entirely in semi-rigid plastic, but the collar is closed by the flexible flaps 16 and 17 so that the collar surrounds and tighten the leg by adapting better to the morphology of the leg, without creating localized pressure painful. The flexibility of the flaps 16 and 17 allows besides opening the door more easily and completely collar for putting on and taking off. We note that the flexible flap 17, that is to say the flap corresponding to the inner side of the foot, covers, on the front of the necklace, the material part semi-rigid plastic 22 in the closed position of the shoe, as shown in Figure 4. At the Figure 3, the covering part has been removed to show the shape of the semi-rigid part and the rivet 23.

Au lieu d'utiliser pour la tige souple un matériau textile doublé de plastique dans la partie supérieure comprenant les rabats 16 et 17, il est possible d'utiliser un autre matériau souple tel que du cuir naturel ou du similicuir ou tout autre matériau souple.Instead of using a flexible material textile lined with plastic at the top including flaps 16 and 17, it is possible to use another flexible material such as leather natural or imitation leather or any other flexible material.

Les moyens de fermeture et de serrage de la chaussure comprennent en outre une sangle 29 dont une extrémité est fixée sur le côté intérieur du collier 20 sur la partie semi-rigide 22, cette sangle passant sur une barrette 30 d'une boucle 31 pour venir se fixer sur elle-même par un fixation Velcro (marque déposée). Les moyens de fermeture et de serrage comprennent en outre deux boucles à sangles 32 et 33 analogues à la sangle 25.The means of closing and tightening the shoe further include a strap 29, one end of which is fixed on the inside of the collar 20 on the semi-rigid part 22, this strap passing over a bar 30 of a loop 31 to come fix on itself by a Velcro fastening (registered trademark). The closure and tightening means further comprise two strap loops 32 and 33 similar to the strap 25.

La partie en plastique semi-rigide 22 du collier pourrait s'étendre sur une partie du pourtour du collier inférieure à la partie représentée au dessin. La partie 22 peut être ajourée comme représenté en 34. Sur le dessin on distingue en outre un chausson de confort 35.The semi-rigid plastic part 22 of the collar could extend over part of the perimeter of the lower collar than the part shown in the drawing.
