Description

La présente invention concerne une boucle de chaussure, telle que définie au préambule de la revendication 1, particulièrement une boucle de chaussure de ski.The present invention relates to a shoe buckle, as defined in the preamble of claim 1, especially a ski boot buckle.

Une telle boucle est, par exemple, connue du brevet US 5 509 180 (EP 0 657 117). Dans cette boucle, la pièce d'accrochage est constituée d'une crémaillère destinée à s'accrocher sur une barrette pour fermer et serrer la chaussure. Dans d'autres exécutions, la pièce d'accrochage présente une échancrure fermée par une barrette transversale destinée à venir s'accrocher dans l'une des dents d'une crémaillère.Such a loop is, for example, known from the US patent 5,509,180 (EP 0 657 117). In this loop, the piece fastening system consists of a rack intended to hang on a bar to close and tighten the shoe. In other executions, the piece of hanging has a notch closed by a transverse bar designed to hang in one of the teeth of a rack.

Jusqu'ici, les barrettes d'accrochage ont toujours été fixées par rivetage. Cela suppose que la forme de la pièce sur laquelle est rivetée, la barrette, est telle qu'elle permet d'effectuer un rivetage. Ceci oblige pratiquement à adopter une forme rectangulaire ou dans tous les cas à bords plats et parallèles au niveau de la barrette d'accrochage. Or, les boucles jouent un rôle important dans l'esthétique de la chaussure, de sorte qu'il serait souhaitable de pouvoir donner aux boucles une forme particulière, notamment une forme arrondie. Or, la fixation par rivetage d'une barrette d'accrochage dans des zones fortement arrondies d'une boucle s'avère très difficile.So far, the shackles have always been secured by riveting. This assumes that the form of the piece on which is riveted, the bar, is such that it allows to perform a riveting. This virtually forces to adopt a rectangular shape or in any case to flat and parallel edges at the level of snap bar. But loops play a role important in the aesthetics of the shoe, so that it would be desirable to be able to give the loops a particular shape, especially a rounded shape. Or the fixing by riveting a bar in highly rounded areas of a loop is very difficult.

L'invention a pour but de pallier à cet inconvénient. Elle part de la constatation qu'il n'y a pas d'effort axial sur la barrette rivetée.The invention aims to overcome this disadvantage. It starts from the observation that there is no effort axial on the riveted bar.

La boucle de chaussure selon l'invention est définie par la partie caractérisante de la revendication 1.The shoe buckle according to the invention is defined by the characterizing part of claim 1.

Une telle fixation peut se faire sur n'importe quelle forme de boucle ou d'élément de boucle. Au moyen d'un outil de même section ou de section inférieure à celle de la barrette, il est possible de cacher complètement la tête dans son logement.Such a fixation can be done on any loop shape or loop element. By means of a tool with the same section or section smaller than of the bar, it is possible to hide completely head in his dwelling.

Le dessin annexé représente, à titre d'exemple, un mode d'exécution de l'invention.

  • La figure 1 en représente une vue en perspective.
  • La figure 2 représente la barrette d'accrochage avant sa fixation sur la pièce d'accrochage.
    • The appended drawing represents, by way of example, an embodiment of the invention.
  • Figure 1 shows a perspective view.
  • Figure 2 shows the latching bar before attachment to the attachment piece.

    • La boucle de chaussure de ski représentée comprend une embase 1 destinée à être fixée sur l'un des rabats d'une chaussure, en particulier une chaussure de ski. Cette embase 1 présente une partie 2 en forme de U dans laquelle est articulé un levier-tendeur 3, ici en deux parties. Ce levier-tendeur 3 présente une échancrure en U dans laquelle est engagé un tirant 4 articulé sur le levier-tendeur 3 au moyen d'un axe 5. L'autre extrémité du tirant 3 est articulée sur une pièce d'accrochage 6 au moyen d'un axe 7. La pièce d'accrochage 6 présente une découpe axiale rectangulaire 8 fermée par une barrette 9 destinée à venir s'accrocher dans l'une des dents 10 d'une crémaillère 11 destinée à être fixée sur le rabat opposé de la chaussure.The ski shoe buckle shown includes a base 1 intended to be fixed on one of the flaps of a shoe, in particular a ski boot. This base 1 has a U-shaped portion 2 in which is articulated a lever-tensioner 3, here in two parts. This tensioning lever 3 has an indentation in U in which is engaged a tie rod 4 articulated on the lever-lever 3 by means of an axis 5. The other end of the tie rod 3 is hinged to an attachment piece 6 by means of an axis 7. The attachment piece 6 presents a rectangular axial cut 8 closed by a bar 9 intended to hang in one of the teeth 10 of a rack 11 to be fixed on the opposite flap of the shoe.

    De chaque côté de la découpe 8, la pièce d'accrochage 6 présente un contour arrondi, rappelant le contour de la partie 3a du levier-tendeur 3, ces formes arrondies ayant pour effet de conférer une esthétique particulière à la boucle, esthétique qui s'adapte notamment à la forme arrondie de la coque d'une chaussure de ski. La barrette 9 est fixée par introduction à force dans la pièce 6. Comme on peut le voir à la figure 2, la barrette 9 présente une tête 9a allant en s'élargissant de façon tronconique. Cette tête est en outre striée longitudinalement. Lors de la fixation de la barrette 9, la tête 9a entre en force dans la pièce 6 en déformant cette dernière. On each side of the cutout 8, the attachment piece 6 has a rounded outline, recalling the outline of the part 3a of the tensioning lever 3, these rounded shapes having the effect of conferring an aesthetic particular to the buckle, aesthetic that fits particular to the rounded shape of the hull of a ski boot. The bar 9 is fixed by forced introduction into the room 6. As can be see Figure 2, the bar 9 has a head 9a widening in a frustoconical way. This head is also striated longitudinally. When fixing the bar 9, the head 9a comes into force in the piece 6 by deforming the latter.

    Les axes 5 et 7 pourraient également être constitués d'une barrette similaire à la barrette 9 et fixés par introduction à force.Axes 5 and 7 could also consist of a bar similar to the bar 9 and fixed by introduction to force.

    Dans certains cas, il pourrait être intéressant d'utiliser des barrettes de section non cylindrique, par exemple pour en augmenter l'inertie dans la direction d'un effort de traction, notamment en utilisant des barrettes de section rectangulaire qui permettent d'avoir un moment d'inertie important dans le sens de l'effort tout en conservant une épaisseur relativement faible de manière à ne pas augmenter l'épaisseur de la boucle.In some cases, it might be interesting to use bars of non-cylindrical section, for example to increase the inertia in the direction of a tensile stress, particularly in using rectangular section bars that allow for a significant moment of inertia in the sense of effort while maintaining a thickness relatively low so as not to increase the thickness of the loop.
