Description

Domaine technique de l'inventionTechnical field of the invention

L'invention est relative à une chaussure de sport à tige équipée d'un dispositif de maintien du pied comprenant :

  • une languette centrale en matière déformable reliée par des premiers moyens de liaison à une paire de soufflets, lesquels sont solidarisés à deux quartiers de tige par des deuxièmes moyens de liaison,
  • et un système de laçage frontal pour le serrage des deux quartiers de tige après chaussage.
The invention relates to a sports shoe with an upper equipped with a foot support device comprising:
  • a central tongue made of deformable material connected by first connecting means to a pair of bellows, which are secured to two rod quarters by second connecting means,
  • and a front lacing system for tightening the two quarters of the upper after putting on.

Etat de la techniqueState of the art

Un premier type chaussure utilise les soufflets de part et d'autre de la languette centrale pour assurer l'étanchéité, empêchant l'entrée de corps étrangers à l'intérieur de la chaussure. Lors du chaussage, il est nécessaire de bien positionner les soufflets par rapport à la languette centrale pour éviter les plis. Le problème n'est pas résolu pour autant lors de la marche en raison des mouvements du pied dans la chaussure. Les soufflets ont tendance à se mettre en vrac, avec formation de plis se traduisant par des points douloureux sur le pied. A first type of shoe uses the bellows on either side of the tongue central for sealing, preventing the entry of foreign bodies to inside the shoe. When fitting, it is necessary to properly position the bellows relative to the central tab to avoid creases. The However, the problem is not resolved when walking due to foot movements in the shoe. The bellows tend to fall loose, with folds forming, resulting in painful spots on the foot.

Un deuxième type de chaussure à tige basse prévoit la mise en place automatique de la languette centrale en attachant les bords latéraux à des élastiques, mais le montage ne permet pas la présence de soufflets d'étanchéité.A second type of shoe with a low upper provides for the installation automatic central tab by attaching the side edges to elastic, but the mounting does not allow the presence of bellows sealing.

Le document US 5829169 concerne une chaussure ayant des brides élastiques rattachées par leurs extrémités supérieures à une languette située à l'extérieur de la chaussure. Une partie des brides reste toujours agencée à l'extérieur de la tige. Cette chaussure est dépourvue de soufflets d'étanchéité.Document US 5829169 relates to a shoe having elastic straps attached by their upper ends to a tab located outside of the shoe. A part of the flanges always remains arranged outside the rod. This shoe has no sealing bellows.

Selon une variante, la bride et le soufflet sont conformés dans une pièce élastique monobloc en Y, laquelle est connectée respectivement à la base de la tige, au quartier de tige correspondant, et à la languette.According to a variant, the flange and the bellows are shaped in one piece monobloc elastic in Y, which is connected respectively to the base of the stem, to the corresponding stem quarter, and to the tongue.

Chaque bride élastique peut comporter une pluralité de branches attachées en différents endroits de la tige pour exercer sur le soufflet des efforts de traction dans différentes directions obliques.Each elastic flange may have a plurality of branches attached in different places of the rod to exert tensile forces on the bellows in different oblique directions.

Préférentiellement, la languette déformable comporte une feuille externe accolée à un coussin de rembourrage à base de mousse avec interposition d'une armature semi-rigide.Preferably, the deformable tongue comprises an attached external sheet to a foam-based padding cushion with the interposition of a semi-rigid frame.

Selon une autre caractéristique, le coussin de rembourrage est constitué, en partie au moins, d'une mousse auto-conformable s'adaptant à la forme du cou-de-pied de l'utilisateur, de manière à ce que l'appui exercé par la languette sur le cou-de-pied se répartisse de façon optimale.According to another characteristic, the padding cushion is made, in at least part of a self-conforming foam adapting to the shape of the instep of the user, so that the support exerted by the tongue on the instep is distributed optimally.

Selon une autre caractéristique, la mousse du rembourrage de la languette est réalisée à l'aide d'un matériau réversiblement déformable lorsqu'il est en contact avec la chaleur du pied, et gardant la forme acquise précédemment lorsqu'il se refroidit, de telle manière que ladite mousse conserve entre deux utilisations de la chaussure l'empreinte du cou-de-pied de l'utilisateur pour une meilleure adaptation morphologique et un confort immédiat dès le second chaussage.According to another characteristic, the foam of the tongue padding is made with a reversibly deformable material when in contact with the warmth of the foot, and keeping the shape acquired previously when it cools, so that said foam keeps between two uses of the shoe imprints the user's instep for better morphological adaptation and immediate comfort from the second boot.

Selon une autre caractéristique de l'invention, le système de laçage comporte une série de passants montés le long de chaque quartier de tige, chaque passant étant semi-encastré de manière à exercer des tensions de laçage dirigées transversalement sur la languette dans le prolongement des quartiers de tige. Il en résulte un coulissement aisé du lacet facilitant le serrage de la chaussure lors du laçage. According to another characteristic of the invention, the lacing system comprises a series of passers-by mounted along each quarter of the rod, each loop being semi-recessed so as to exert lacing tensions directed transversely on the tongue in the extension of the quarters rod. This results in an easy sliding of the lace facilitating the tightening of the shoe when lacing.
