Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a clamping device intended to equip an article footwear, such as a shoe or a sandal, intended in particular, but not restrictive, to the practice of sport.
  • the invention specifies elements relating to elements of the clamping device on which the clamping means proper is fixed.
  • the means of tightening a shoe is most often fixed directly on the stem, at the level of the quarters intended to be brought together. So that the means clamp can properly hold the foot, the rod should be as flexible as possible. Yes it is too flexible, the rod can no longer distribute the clamping pressure which may turn out to be painful for the foot. Conversely, a rigid rod allows the pressure to be well distributed tightening but at the expense of comfort and support of the foot, which must be compensated by the use of an internal liner which fills the residual space between the upper and the foot.
  • Document EP 521 287 describes an internal tightening applied to a walking shoe in Mountain.
  • the clamping device is more precise than the previous device because it is closer to the foot.
  • this internal tightening which is carried out by flexible elements, retains the disadvantages mentioned above which arise from the use of a flexible structure.
  • the document FR 2 694 167 describes an external tightening device for a shoe. mountain hike which includes a rigid flap positioned on the side, at level of the instep, on the outer side of the shoe. This component allows to keep plated, by means of tightening, the foot against the medial side of the upper of the shoe.
  • this device has a discontinuity between the upper end of the flap rigid and the most flexible rod located on the other lateral part of the foot.
  • This discontinuity on the top of the instep, can be very painful for the user because the device clamping does not distribute the clamping pressure. Indeed, the clamping system is anchored directly on the end of the rigid flap.
  • Document DE 42 29 036 describes a mountain hiking shoe, the two of which quarters of said rod have an overlap, in particular at the instep, and are fitted with a lace tightening system.
  • This device makes it possible in particular to simplify the opening of the shoe while ensuring the waterproofness thereof.
  • the stem having a substantially identical flexibility in the two areas, does not allow to distribute comfortably the clamping pressure on the foot.
  • the two stem quarters are deform substantially symmetrically to grip the foot and the clamping device therefore does not press the foot against a predetermined quarter of the rod.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide an improved clamping device resolving in particular the drawbacks exposed above of the prior art.
  • One of the aims of the present invention is to provide a clamping device intended to equipping an article of footwear which makes it possible to keep the foot pressed against one of the sides of the footwear, while ensuring a distribution on the foot of the pressure generated by the clamping system.
  • Another object of the invention is to propose a clamping device which improves the rigidity in torsion of the footwear while respecting as much as possible the bending of said article fit.
  • the clamping device comprises a lower flap and a flap upper comprising an overlapping area which partially covers the lower flap.
  • a clamping means comprising at least An anchor on each of the flaps
  • the upper flap is more flexible than the lower flap.
  • the anchor located at the upper flap is positioned in the area of overlap.
  • the flaps constitute the upper of the footwear.
  • the flaps being positioned outside the rod of the footwear, form an external tightening device.
  • the flaps being positioned inside the rod of the footwear, form an internal tightening device.
  • the upper flap is an integral part of the rod footwear.
  • the footwear CH shown is a sandal.
  • the sandal does not include no full shank, but the user's foot is held on the sole 100 directly by the clamping device according to the present invention.
  • Said clamping device maintains the foot vertically and laterally by flaps 1, 2.
  • the clamping device is completed, at heel level, rear support.
  • This additional means of maintenance is not not essential, the footwear thus obtained then being a mule type sandal which leave the heel free.
  • the rear support here consists of a strap 26 which is fixed to one flaps 1, and which passes through a reference 27 fixed on the other flap 2.
  • the strap 26b which includes fixing means, in particular of the hook-and-loop type, making it possible to fix the back 26b on strap 26.
  • the clamping device comprises a lower flap 1 and an upper flap 2 arranged on each of the lateral and medial sides of the footwear CH.
  • the upper flap 2 covers in part of the lower flap 1 at an overlap zone 5.
  • the flaps 1, 2, directly constitute the rod of the footwear CH, and are fixed on the sole 100.
  • the lower flap 1 comprises at level of the lower end 1b of the fixing means capable of securing said flap 1 to the sole 100.
  • the upper flap 2 comprises, at the level of the lower end 2b, fixing means capable of securing the upper flap 2 to the sole 100.
  • the sole 100 includes a outsole 100a surmounted by a sole damping intermediate 100b, the means for fixing the flaps 1, 2, in particular of bonding type, used to fix said flaps 1, 2, on the midsole depreciation 100b.
  • These fixing means may advantageously be covered by a 100d comfort sole, in particular in leather, intended to be in contact with the foot and to cover the top of sole 100.
  • the clamping device also comprises a clamping means 4 which comprises at at least one anchor 11, 12, positioned on each of the flaps 1, 2.
  • This clamping means allows to bring the two flaps 1, 2 together, in order to enclose the foot against the sole 100.
  • the means of tightening 4 presently illustrated is of the lace tightening type comprising a link 30 which connects alternately anchors 11, 12, which are here yaw references which are fixed to the flaps 1, 2 and which, by allowing the link 30 to slide, transmitting the tightening forces to said shutters (1, 2).
  • the clamping means 4 also comprises a locking means, not shown in the figure, which can be a knot or in particular a blocker mounted on the link 30, making it possible to maintain the tension in the link 30.
  • the anchors 12, 12a located at the level of the upper flap 2, are positioned in the overlapping area 5.
  • This area of overlap 5 is defined by the overlap of the flaps 1, 2, when the tightening is closed around a foot. It extends from the upper end 2a of the flap 2 in direction of the sole 100.
  • the anchors 11, located on the lower flap 1 are positioned outside the projection of the overlapping zone 5 on the flap 1.
  • flaps 1, 2 will be advantageously arranged at the instep so as to enclose this part of the foot. Similarly, it is preferable that the flaps 1, 2, do not extend at the joint metatarsophalangeal and at the malleolus of the ankle joint so as not to not hinder the flexion of said joints.
  • One solution among others is to position the flaps 1, 2, between the two areas of the foot previously mentioned. Respect for this constructive arrangement guarantees maximum comfort for the foot while respecting the biomechanics of the foot and ankle joint.
  • both flaps also meet at the back of the leg and are integral with each other especially at level of the calf muscle or at the back of the ankle.
  • FIG. 1a which represents a cross section of the first embodiment
  • the upper flap 2 is distinguished from lower flap 1 in particular by the fact that the upper flap 2 has greater flexibility compared to the lower flap 1.
  • This asymmetry of flexibility allows, among other things, to predetermine a reference component, in this case the component more rigid which is here the lower flap 1, against which the foot will be immobilized by the this clamping device.
  • the upper flap 2 being the most flexible, will deform more than the lower flap 1.
  • the upper flap 2 will therefore come press against the foot and optionally move the foot laterally towards the lower flap 1 until the foot comes to rest against the lower flap 1.
  • the rigidity of the lower flap 1 also makes it possible to better distribute over the foot the pressure generated by the clamping device 4.
  • the clamping means 4 generates known manner a primary force F1 which tends to bring the two flaps 1, 2 together, and to stabilize laterally the foot.
  • this F1 force is invariably accompanied by a secondary force F2 which is perpendicular to the primary force F1 and which tends to press the foot P on the sole (100, 100b).
  • the primary force F1 is substantially horizontal and oriented transversely to the footwear CH, while the secondary force F2 is substantially vertical and oriented downwards.
  • the clamping means 4 at the level of the upper flap 2, being located on the overlapping zone 5, said forces (F1, F2) apply directly to the lower flap 1.
  • the rigidity of the lower flap 1 allows to control the bending of the flap 1, and therefore to limit the downward deformation which is induced by the secondary force F2. Compliance with this constructive provision makes it possible to obtain a powerful lateral support of the foot P against the lower flap 1 while not generating uncomfortable overpressure on the top of the foot.
  • the flexibility of the upper flap 2 is obtained by recesses 24a, 24b, on the upper flap 2 which make it possible to soften and ventilate said flap 2.
  • the upper flap 2 can advantageously comprise at least one recess 24b which opens onto the sole 100, and which delimits a front branch 25 in the flap 2.
  • the branch 25 is fixed to the sole 100 at the joint metatarsophalangeal to provide good lateral support of the foot.
  • the upper pane 2 may also include at least one recess 24a which remains included in shutter 2.
  • This recess 24a advantageously has an elongated shape whose large dimension is oriented substantially in the curvilinear direction D1, D2, perpendicular to the upper edge of the foot, and connecting at the instep the upper edge of the foot to the sole 100. Even, the recess 24a will advantageously be positioned between two curvilinear directions D1, D2, which pass through two constituent anchors 12, 12a, located on the upper flap 2. Thus, the holding force exerted by the link 30 on the anchors 12, 12a, is well transmitted directly to the sole 100, without the recess 24a altering the power of the Tightening.
  • the presence of the recesses 24a, 24b in the upper flap 2 also allows soften the shutter 2 and therefore use the same material for the upper shutter 2 and the shutter lower 1.
  • these recesses 24a, 24b can be combined with other measures described later, making it possible to soften the upper flap 2 as in particular the use of a softer or thinner material for the upper flap 2. All combinations of the recesses 24a, 24b, with other means remain in accordance with the invention as long as the upper flap 2 has greater flexibility than the lower flap 1.
  • This element of comfort can be an internal lining positioned punctual at the edge 1a of the flap 1, or in particular an internal sock positioned under flaps 1, 2, and connected on both sides to said flaps 1, 2, or to the sole
