Definitions
- the present invention relates to a semi-rigid tongue for a high-top sports shoe, especially a sliding sports shoe, and more especially a shoe for surfing with a reinforcement extending from above the foot to above the ankle.
- the first ski boots in leather, were relatively flexible. They offered good comfort. In order to ensure a good transmission of the forces between foot and skiing, that is to say to reduce the capacity deformation of the shoe, the sole and the upper shoes have become more and more rigid, as a result becoming less and less comfortable. With the appearance of plastic shoes fitted with a comfort slipper, shoes and so the rods and the tabs became particularly rigid. To do this, the tabs have a reinforcement. For a number years, we seek to improve the comfort of ski boots, we are looking in particular at improve the comfort of the tabs.
- a tongue of surf boot having a reinforcement attached to a only one of its ends. The other end can be move into a housing provided on the tongue. This mode of connection of the reinforcement to the tongue allows remove the crease that the tongue makes when bending of the leg which results in a compression in the instep area.
- the object of the invention is to produce a tongue for a high-top sports shoe, particular, a sliding sports shoe overcoming this disadvantage.
- the invention is suggests making a shoe tongue with which one does not feel a compression line painful on the shin at the top of the tongue.
- bending stiffness is meant the relationship between the bending moment applied to the tongue and tongue deformation induced by this moment flexing when bending the skier's leg. This deformation is defined with respect to the shape that the tongue occupies at rest.
- the tongue according to the invention is characterized in that which it presents at the top of its upper part center, an area of flexural rigidity less than the bending stiffness of the rest of the tongue and that the reinforcement includes a central element and two side elements working together. Thanks to such reinforcement architecture, most tongue efforts on the leg are taken up by the side members exerting pressure on the leg on either side of the tibia and thus avoiding a discomfort felt by the user which would be due to a pressure of the tongue on the tibia.
- the reinforcement present at instep level an area of flexural rigidity greater than the bending stiffness of the rest of the reinforcement.
- the tongue deforms little at this place preventing the fold of the tongue causing a painful pressure area.
- the central reinforcement has the form of a relatively flexible known tongue extending noticeably lower than the finished tongue. he can be less rigid than the side elements.
- the areas of different flexural stiffnesses are obtained by varying the thickness of the reinforcement and / or by the use of different materials.
- the variations in the thickness of the reinforcement allow vary the quadratic moment of the reinforcement or its elements.
- the two lateral elements are sufficiently rigid and have a tight shape, at the instep to serve as reinforcement for the flexible tongue, and spread apart on the top to avoid the pressure of a rigid element on the tibia while presenting good support on each side and in the center thanks to the cooperation of the two rigid lateral elements and the central element.
- This central element in fact prevents the lateral elements from moving away from each other, forcing them to flex.
- the lateral reinforcing elements may have, at the level of the instep, an S shape such that these side elements approach each other on the central element.
- the central element and the lateral elements can consist of one piece.
- the reinforcement can be fixed on the face outside of the tongue or in the tongue.
- these different elements can be fixed on the face outside of the tongue and / or in the tongue.
- the reinforcement or the various elements constituting it are preferably sewn or glued on the tongue or in the tongue.
- Figure 1 is a developed view of a tab according to the invention.
- Figure 2 is a developed view, in section longitudinal of the tongue according to plane III-III of Figure 1.
- Figure 3 is a developed view of the central element reinforcement.
- Figure 4 is a plan view of a side member of the reinforcement.
- Figure 5 is a perspective view of a shoe provided with a tab according to the invention.
- the tongue 10 shown in Figures 1 and 2 comprises a reinforcement consisting of a central element 2 and two side elements 1.
- the internal face of the tongue 10, being in contact with the sock of the user, consists of a foam 4 covered of a knit 5.
- the outer face of the tongue 10 is covered with a knit 3 covering the central element 2 of the reinforcement and the foam 4 on which it is glued or sewn.
- a seam 11 binds knitting 3 to the foam 4 around the central element 2.
- the elements are glued or sewn side 1 of the reinforcement.
- Other layers of materials for example a layer of an impermeable material, can be added to ensure various functions.
- This tongue 10 is intended to equip a shoe 8 as shown in Figure 5. It comes in effect closing the lacing notch whose function is to allow the shoe to be adapted to the foot of the user.
- the various elements 1, 2 shown in Figures 3 and 4 and constituting the reinforcement are made of material plastic.
- the central element 2 of the reinforcement comes substantially to the bottom of the tongue and stops substantially before the top of the tongue 10. It has a section in the instep area 6 scaled down.
- the lateral elements 1 fixed on either side of the central element 2 extend from the middle of the part bottom of the tongue to the top of the tongue. In region 7 of the instep, these side elements have an S shape so to get closer to each other, which has the effect of reduce the flexibility of the tongue at the kick.
- the tongue does not have no reinforcement at the top of its upper part, center.
- a zone 9 having a bending stiffness less than stiffness bending of the rest of the tongue 10 and a pressure, source of discomfort, tongue on the shin of the user.
- the tongue therefore present in the instep region, an area of flexural rigidity greater than the bending stiffness of the rest of the reinforcement obtained by the cooperation of the section of the central element 2 and particular shapes 7 of the side elements of reinforcement 1.

Abstract
Description
Cet élément central évite en effet aux éléments latéraux de s'écarter l'un de l'autre, obligeant ceux-ci à fléchir.
