Description

La présente invention concerne un élément de confort thermoformable pour chaussure de sport, tel qu'un chausson, une tige ou une semelle intérieure, comprenant une mousse intercalée entre une paroi externe en contact avec l'intérieur de la chaussure et une paroi interne en contact avec le pied de l'utilisateur.The present invention relates to a comfort element thermoformable for sports shoes, such as a slipper, shank or insole, comprising a foam interposed between a wall external contact with the inside of the shoe and an inner wall in contact with the foot of the user.

En particulier, les chaussures de sport de glisse doivent être suffisamment rigides pour permettre une bonne transmission des efforts du pied et de la jambe de l'utilisateur vers l'engin de glisse et permettre en conséquence un bon guidage de l'engin mais aussi une bonne sensation du comportement de l'engin par l'utilisateur. Cette contrainte a provoqué l'abandon des chaussures de ski en cuir, qui présentaient pour principal avantage celui d'être confortables, au profit de chaussures de ski très rigides et réalisées à partir de coques en matière plastique moulées. Ces chaussures en matière plastique moulée sont munies d'éléments de rembourrage appelés chaussons et adaptant la structure rigide de la chaussure à la morphologie du pied et du bas de jambe de l'utilisateur. Les chaussons permettent de répartir le plus uniformément possible la pression de la chaussure sur le pied et le bas de jambe de l'utilisateur et d'éviter l'existence de zones où la pression serait gênante ou risquerait de blesser l'utilisateur. Ceci est également vrai pour tous les types de chaussures comprenant une enveloppe rigide et un rembourrage interne.In particular, slip sports shoes must be sufficiently rigid to allow good transmission of the efforts of the foot and the leg from the user to the gliding machine and allow consequently a good guidance of the machine but also a good feeling of the behavior of the machine by the user. This constraint caused the abandonment leather ski boots, which presented for main advantage of being comfortable at benefit from very rigid and realized ski boots from molded plastic shells. These molded plastic shoes are provided padding elements called slippers and adapting the rigid structure of the shoe to the morphology of the foot and lower leg of the user. The slippers allow to distribute the more evenly possible the pressure of the shoe on the foot and lower leg of the user and avoid the existence of areas where the pressure would be annoying or could injure the user. This is also true for all types of shoes including a hard shell and padding internal.

Les chaussons sont en général mis en place dans la chaussure de manière à pouvoir en être retirés. Ils sont très souvent constitués par une enveloppe réalisée en matériau souple ou semi-rigide à l'intérieur de laquelle se trouve emprisonné un matériau compressible.Slippers are usually put in place in the shoe so that they can be removed. They very often consist of an envelope made of flexible or semi-rigid material to inside of which is imprisoned a compressible material.

Afin d'augmenter le confort des chaussures, on a imaginé de modeler le chausson, c'est-à-dire de modifier l'épaisseur de matériau compressible. Différents moyens et procédés connus permettent ce modelage.In order to increase the comfort of the shoes, we have imagined to model the slipper, that is to say modify the thickness of compressible material. Various known means and methods allow this modeling.

On peut par exemple réaliser un chausson présentant une enveloppe munie d'ouvertures par lesquelles, on peut insérer ou retirer des plaques de matériau compressible de différentes épaisseurs et ainsi faire varier localement l'épaisseur du chausson.For example, it is possible to make a slipper presenting an envelope provided with openings through which one can insert or remove plates of material compressible of different thicknesses and so do vary locally the thickness of the slipper.

On connaít du brevet EP 0 237 526 un procédé et des moyens permettant de mouler un chausson in situ. Ce chausson est constitué d'une enveloppe mise en position dans la chaussure autour du pied de l'utilisateur et dans laquelle on injecte un produit moussant remplissant tout le volume libre entre le pied et la chaussure. On obtient alors un chausson parfaitement adapté à la morphologie de l'utilisateur. EP 0 237 526 discloses a method and means for molding a slipper in situ. This slipper consists of an envelope placed position in the shoe around the foot of the user and into which a product is injected foaming filling all the free volume between the foot and shoe. We then get a slipper perfectly adapted to the morphology of the user.

On connaít enfin des chaussons dont le matériau compressible est une mousse thermoformable. Ces chaussons sont adaptés à la morphologie de l'utilisateur par thermoformage de cette mousse au moment de la vente des chaussures à l'utilisateur. Pour ce faire, on chauffe la mousse du chausson grâce à un dispositif insufflant de l'air chaud dans le chausson préalablement mis en place dans la chaussure. Lorsque la mousse a atteint une température permettant sa mise en forme, l'utilisateur introduit son pied dans la chaussure afin que la forme de la mousse s'adapte à sa morphologie.Finally, we know slippers whose material compressible is a thermoformable foam. These slippers are adapted to the morphology of the user by thermoforming this foam at moment of sale of the shoes to the user. To do this, we heat the foam of the slipper thanks to a device blowing hot air into the slipper previously put in place in the shoe. When the foam has reached a temperature its formatting, the user introduces his foot in the shoe so that the shape of the foam adapts to its morphology.

Ces trois procédés d'adaptation du chausson à la morphologie de l'utilisateur présentent des avantages et inconvénients.These three processes of adaptation of the slipper to the morphology of the user have advantages and disadvantages.

Le dernier procédé présente plusieurs inconvénients. D'abord le temps de chauffage du chausson est long. En effet, il faut environ 10 min pour amener un chausson de la température ambiante à la température à laquelle on peut le mettre en forme. Ceci a pour conséquence de rendre difficile son utilisation dans les magasins de matériel de sport. Ensuite, le chauffage n'est pas homogène. On a constaté que la zone atteinte directement par le flux d'air chaud présente une température très supérieure au reste du chausson.The last method has several disadvantages. First, the heating time of the shoe is long. In indeed, it takes about 10 min to bring a slipper from the ambient temperature to the temperature at which we can put it in shape. This has the consequence of make it difficult to use in sport material. Then the heating is not homogeneous. It was found that the affected area directly by the hot air flow presents a temperature much higher than the rest of the shoe.

L'invention a pour but de réaliser un élément de confort thermoformable palliant les inconvénients précités. L'invention se propose en particulier de réaliser un élément de confort thermoformable présentant une structure lui permettant d'être chauffé de manière homogène et d'être rapidement amené à une température lui permettant d'être mis en forme.The object of the invention is to produce an element of thermoformable comfort overcomes the disadvantages supra. The invention proposes in particular create a thermoformable comfort element having a structure allowing it to be heated in a homogeneous way and to be quickly brought to a temperature allowing it to be shaped.

L'élément de confort selon l'invention est caractérisé en ce que la paroi interne comprend un tissu tridimensionnel thermoformable présentant deux faces tissées parallèles, reliées l'une à l'autre par des fils s'étendant sensiblement perpendiculairement aux deux faces tissées.The comfort element according to the invention is characterized in that the inner wall comprises a fabric three-dimensional thermoformable having two sides parallel weaves, connected to each other by wires extending substantially perpendicular to the two woven faces.

Grâce à sa structure, ce tissu se comporte comme une gaine répartissant l'air chaud issu d'un dispositif de chauffage, sur l'ensemble de la surface intérieure du tissu tridimensionnel thermoformable. Ceci a pour conséquences de permettre un chauffage plus homogène et plus rapide du tissu que ce ne l'est habituellement lors de l'utilisation de mousse thermoformable. D'autre part, ce tissu étant directement en contact avec le pied, l'air chaud n'a plus de doublure à traverser.Thanks to its structure, this fabric behaves like a sheath distributing the hot air from a cooling device heating, over the entire inner surface of the three-dimensional thermoformable fabric. This has for consequences of allowing more homogeneous heating and faster the fabric than it usually is when using thermoformable foam. On the other hand, this fabric is directly in contact with the foot, the warm air has no more lining to cross.

Les deux faces tissées sont, de préférence, espacées de 4 à 6 mm.The two woven faces are preferably spaced apart from 4 to 6 mm.

Ce tissu tridimensionnel peut être constitué de fils en fibres de polyester. Les fils peuvent être parallèles mais ils sont avantageusement croisés pour empêcher que les deux faces du tissu ne glissent l'une par rapport à l'autre et conserver un effet ressort. This three-dimensional fabric may consist of threads made of polyester fibers. The threads can be parallel but they are advantageously crossed for prevent both sides of the fabric from slipping off relative to each other and maintain a spring effect.

Le dessin annexé représente, à titre d'exemple, un mode de réalisation du chausson selon l'invention.The attached drawing represents, by way of example, a embodiment of the liner according to the invention.

La figure 1 est une vue en coupe verticale du chausson selon l'invention.Figure 1 is a vertical sectional view of the slipper according to the invention.

La figure 2 est une vue schématique en coupe de la zone A repérée à la figure 1 et détaillant la structure de la paroi interne du chausson.FIG. 2 is a schematic sectional view of the zone A identified in Figure 1 and detailing the structure of the inner wall of the liner.

Le chausson 1 représenté à la figure 1 contient le pied 2 de l'utilisateur et est en position dans une chaussure de ski (non représentée). Ce chausson est constitué d'une partie inférieure formant une semelle et d'une partie supérieure.The liner 1 shown in FIG. foot 2 of the user and is in position in a ski boot (not shown). This slipper is consisting of a lower part forming a sole and an upper part.

La partie inférieure est constituée d'une semelle extérieure 6, d'une semelle intérieure rigide 7 définissant la forme du fond du chausson et d'un élément de confort 8 recouvrant la semelle intérieure. Il a pour fonction d'amortir les chocs dus à la marche et d'adapter la chaussure à la morphologie du pied de l'utilisateur. Certains de ces éléments sont liés entre eux ainsi qu'à la partie supérieure par collage et/ou par couture.The lower part consists of a sole 6 outside, a rigid insole 7 defining the shape of the bottom of the bootie and a comfort element 8 covering the insole. Its function is to cushion shocks caused by walking and adapt the shoe to the morphology of the foot of the user. Some of these elements are related between them and the upper part by gluing and / or by sewing.

La partie supérieure présente une mousse 4 contenue dans une enveloppe présentant une paroi interne 3 et une paroi externe 5. Les parois externe et interne sont liées entre elles par une couture en haut du chausson et au niveau de la liaison entre la partie inférieure et supérieure de la semelle.The upper part has a foam 4 contained in an envelope having an inner wall 3 and an outer wall 5. The outer and inner walls are tied together by a seam at the top of the slipper and at the level of the connection between the party lower and upper sole.

Sans sortir du cadre de l'invention, la mousse peut être en matériau thermoformable tel qu'une mousse d'hévéa connue de l'art antérieur.Without departing from the scope of the invention, the foam can be of thermoformable material such as a foam Hevea known from the prior art.

La paroi externe 4 est constituée par un tissu ou un tricot ou encore un matériau semi-rigide et est destinée à venir en contact avec la carcasse de la chaussure. La paroi interne est quant à elle réalisée en un tissu tridimensionnel 3 dont la structure est représentée schématiquement à la figure 2. Ce tissu présente la particularité de présenter deux faces tissées 3a et 3b parallèles reliées l'une à l'autre par des fils s'étendant essentiellement perpendiculairement aux deux faces tissées et participant au tissage de celles-ci. Ces fils, sensiblement perpendiculaires aux faces parallèles 3a et 3b, parallèles ou croisés, définissent une zone compressible 3c d'environ 5 mm d'épaisseur intercalée entre celles-ci. Cette zone 3c possède en outre la particularité de permettre une excellente circulation de gaz dans les directions parallèles aux faces tissées 3a et 3b. Les fils de ce tissu sont par exemple réalisés en fibres de polyester.The outer wall 4 is constituted by a fabric or a knit or a semi-rigid material and is intended to come into contact with the carcass of the shoe. The inner wall is realized in a three-dimensional fabric 3 whose structure is schematically shown in Figure 2. This fabric has the distinction of presenting two faces woven 3a and 3b parallel connected to each other by wires extending essentially perpendicular to both woven faces and participating in the weaving of these. These wires, substantially perpendicular to the parallel faces 3a and 3b, parallel or crossed, define a zone compressible 3c approximately 5 mm thick interspersed between them. This zone 3c also has the particularity to allow excellent circulation of gas in the directions parallel to the faces woven 3a and 3b. The threads of this fabric are by example made of polyester fibers.

De préférence le tissu est en contact avec le pied mais il serait possible de prévoir une doublure décorative bien que ceci soit préjudiciable au bon chauffage du tissu. Preferably the fabric is in contact with the foot but it would be possible to provide a lining decorative although this is detrimental to the good heating the fabric.

Pour permettre l'adaptation d'une chaussure de sport à la morphologie du pied d'un utilisateur par l'utilisation du chausson selon l'invention, on procède comme on le ferait avec un chausson à mousse thermoformable connu.To allow the adaptation of a sports shoe to the morphology of a user's foot by the use of the slipper according to the invention, proceeds as one would do with a foam bootie thermoformable known.

On met en place le chausson dans la chaussure destinée à le recevoir. On chauffe ensuite ce chausson grâce à un dispositif permettant d'envoyer de l'air chaud dans le volume destiné à recevoir le pied de l'utilisateur. Et, finalement, on équipe l'utilisateur de cette chaussure et on serre celle-ci sur son pied pendant plusieurs minutes. Le chausson a alors pris la forme du pied de l'utilisateur.We put in place the shoe in the shoe intended to receive it. This shoe is then heated by a device to send hot air in the volume intended to receive the foot of the user. And, finally, we equip the user with this shoe and we tighten it on his foot during several minutes. The slipper then took the form of the user's foot.

En utilisant un tissu tridimensionnel thermoformable pour réaliser la paroi interne du chausson, on constate que le temps nécessaire pour amener la température du tissu tridimensionnel thermoformable à une température suffisante pour pouvoir la mettre en forme est considérablement réduit. Il suffit de chauffer le chausson pendant une durée d'environ 2 minutes. Ceci est dû au fait que, grâce à sa structure, la zone compressible 3c favorise la diffusion de l'air chaud dans le tissu tridimensionnel et en particulier sur toute l'étendue des faces tissées 3a et 3b, après que celui-ci, mis en mouvement par le dispositif de chauffage, a traversé la face tissée 3a. Le tissu tridimensionnel possède de plus une faible inertie thermique Using a three-dimensional thermoformable fabric to make the inner wall of the liner, one notes that the time required to bring the temperature of the three-dimensional fabric thermoformable to a temperature sufficient to be able to put it in form is greatly reduced. Simply heat the slipper for a duration of about 2 minutes. This is because, thanks to its structure, the compressible zone 3c favors the diffusion of warm air in three-dimensional tissue and in particular all over the faces woven 3a and 3b, after this one, set in motion by the heater, went through the face woven 3a. The three-dimensional fabric has more low thermal inertia

De la même manière il est possible de confectionner une semelle intérieure.In the same way it is possible to make an insole.

L'invention a été décrite appliquée à une chaussure de ski, mais elle peut bien entendu s'appliquer à d'autres chaussures de sport telles que les chaussures de patinage, d'après-ski, de randonnée, etc.The invention has been described applied to a shoe of ski, but it can of course apply to other sports shoes such as shoes skating, après-ski, hiking, etc.
