Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a sports shoe comprising in known manner a outer sole on which is mounted a rod having a foot introduction zone and a posterior upper zone comprising a medial quarter and a lateral quarter connected between them by a clamping system.
  • Known clamping systems are constituted by a flexible link connecting them according to a determined alternative route, a series of deflection elements, fixedly arranged on either side and other of said districts near their edges to define a lacing area.
  • Known clamping systems of this type are generally arranged outside the shoe, which has the disadvantage of not offering a perfect seal against external elements, and in particular snow, ice, water, stones, etc., despite the presence of a internal covering tab of the foot.
  • the return elements arranged in relief on the external faces of the districts constitute as many prominences on the top of the shoe, adversely promoting the risk of snagging during the practice of sport, in particular for the practice of more or less "aggressive" sports such as cycling, walking in assembly, ... etc.
  • the present invention overcomes all of these drawbacks, and relates to this effect a sports shoe comprising an outer sole on which is mounted a upper comprising a foot introduction zone and an anterior upper zone comprising a medial quarter and a lateral quarter linked together by a tightening system constituted by a flexible link connecting them, according to a determined alternative route, a series return elements, fixedly arranged on either side of said neighborhoods near their edges, to define a lacing zone, characterized in that the return elements associated with the flexible link generally constituting the clamping system, are arranged on the faces of the medial and lateral quarters of the stem, directed towards the foot, to form a system clamping rod, acting from the inside thereof.
  • the present invention also relates to the characteristics which will emerge during the description which follows, and which should be considered in isolation or according to all their possible technical combinations.
  • the sports shoe 1 generally designated in the figures comprises an outer sole 2 on which is mounted a rod 3 comprising an insertion zone 4 of the foot and a zone anterior superior 5 comprising a medial quarter 6, that is to say located on the medial side of the shoe, and a lateral quarter 7, that is to say located on the lateral side of the shoe, connected between them by a clamping system 8 constituted by a flexible link 9 connecting together, according to a determined alternative route, a series of deflection elements 10 fixedly arranged on the side and other of said districts 6 and 7 near their edges respectively 6b, 7b, for define a lacing area 11.
  • the return elements 10 associated with the link 9 generally constituting the tightening system 8 are arranged on the internal faces 6a, 7a of the medial 6 and lateral 7 quarters, that is to say directed towards the foot to constitute a system for tightening the rod 3, acting from the inside of the latter.
  • the medial 6 and lateral 7 quarters are interconnected by a strip of elastic material 12 joining said edges 6c, 7c of each of them to form a rod closed extendable with the passage of the foot, in order to facilitate its introduction onto said foot, for then exert a clamping on it by pulling on said quarters 6 and 7 by via link 9 and internal reference elements 10.
  • the strip of elastic material makes it possible to maintain a clean and "taut" appearance of the anterior upper zone 5 of the rod 3, regardless of the volume, fine or strong, of the foot contained in the shoe.
  • the return elements 10 comprise a base 10a and a sliding part 10b, also called free end, intended for receive and allow the sliding of the tightening link 9.
  • These return elements 10 are fixed by their base 10a on the internal faces 6a, 7a of the quarters 6 and 7, this in particular by crimping 13. They are extended by their free end portion 10b intended to cooperate with the link 9 bypassing or crossing, while positioning itself next to a housing corresponding 14 practiced in said districts 6 and 7, so as to avoid excess thickness.
  • Return elements 10 may have a sliding part 10b is either open or closed.
  • each of the housings 14 in which position the free end parts 10b of the deflection elements 10 is blind.
  • each of the blind housings 14 of the reference 10 is obtained by a circular cutout 15 made on either side of the edges 6c, 7c of the quarters 6 and 7 of the rod 3, then by sealing said cutout 15 via a cabochon 16 internally hollowed out, made peripherally integral with the quarters 6 and 7 rod 3.
  • the cabochons 16 are connected between them by a bar 16.
  • they are preferably made of material transparent plastic so as to allow viewing of the return elements 10, or opaque.
  • the shoe 1 also comprises a comfort tongue 17 extending under the lacing zone 11, which is integral on the one hand by its base 17a of an area of the upper 3 located at the front of said lacing area 11, and integral on the other hand by its lateral sides 17b, 17c of corresponding lateral zones of the rod 3 located at the sole 2, by means of elastic straps 18 and 19, of so as to ensure the return to the initial position of the comfort tab 17, after having exercised a pull on its free end 17d, in order to relax the lacing during heaving.
  • a comfort tongue 17 extending under the lacing zone 11, which is integral on the one hand by its base 17a of an area of the upper 3 located at the front of said lacing area 11, and integral on the other hand by its lateral sides 17b, 17c of corresponding lateral zones of the rod 3 located at the sole 2, by means of elastic straps 18 and 19, of so as to ensure the return to the initial position of the comfort tab 17, after having exercised a pull on its free end 17d, in order to relax the lacing during he
  • the comfort tab 17 is itself made of a padded material and comprises in its free end zone 17a a manual gripping element 20 allowing to exert a traction on said tongue 17.
  • the manual gripping element 20 is constituted by a hole forming a ring of dimension and shape suitable for allowing the introduction of a finger.
  • the flexible link 9 cooperates with the return element 10 along a path closing in on itself and is associated with a quick clamping system 21 acting on the external parts of the link 9 located outside the lacing area 11.
  • the quick clamping system 21 is constituted by a sliding blocker on two strands 9a, 9b of the flexible link 9.
  • Such a blocker is for example described in patent FR 2 706 743 in the name of Applicant.
  • the rapid clamping system 21 could also consist of a system integral with the shoe and actuated by a tensioning lever in connection with the strands of the flexible link 9.
  • the rod 3 comprises from its front end zone 5, and extending to the level of the introduction zone 4, an extension 22 made integral by stitching of the strip of elastic material 12 joining the edges of each of the quarters medial 6 and 7.
  • This extension 22 also includes at its end directed towards the top of the foot a gripping loop 23 obtained by folding back on itself so as to facilitate the footwear, by pulling on said end 23 of the extension 22 of the upper 3 so as to more widely open the foot introduction zone 4 by pulling on the strip of material elastic 12.
  • the stem quarters 6, 7 have at internal side, a lining respectively 6a, 6b on which are fixed the elements of return 10, and external side, an external face 6b on which are fixed the housings 14 for the deflection elements 10.
  • a lining respectively 6a, 6b on which are fixed the elements of return 10 and external side, an external face 6b on which are fixed the housings 14 for the deflection elements 10.
  • quarters 6, 7 can be monolayers.
  • the present invention is not limited to the embodiment described above, but encompasses all similar or equivalent embodiments.
  • the material elastic 12 can, like the rest of the rod, be made of impermeable material for a perfect waterproofness of the shoe.
