Abstract

The assembly consists of a rubber or polymer under sole (40), a sole reinforcing element (50), and an upper reinforcing element (20) that is connected to the sole reinforcing element so they are supple in a transverse direction. The connection between the two reinforcing elements is made by sticking them to an intermediate shock-absorbing sole (60). The upper reinforcing element is also attached to the shoe's upper.

Description

La présente invention est relative aux chaussures dont le semelage est réalisé suivant une structure stratifiée présentant plusieurs couches ou éléments remplissant des fonctions distinctes et se rapporte en particulier au couplage d'un élément de renfort de la tige avec l'un des éléments du semelage.The present invention relates to shoes whose sole assembly is carried out according to a laminated structure having several layers or elements fulfilling distinct functions and relates in particular to the coupling of a reinforcing element of the rod with one of the elements of the sole assembly.

Par le US 6,000,148 a été proposée une construction de chaussure comportant, d'une part, un semelage comprenant une semelle d'usure et un élément de renfort de semelage, et d'autre part, un élément de renfort de tige qui est couplé à l'élément de renfort de semelage, une couche de renfort amortissante et élastique du semelage étant interposée entre la tige et ledit élément de renfort de semelage.Speak US 6,000,148 a has been proposed a shoe construction comprising, on the one hand, a sole comprising a outsole and a sole reinforcement element, and secondly, a rod reinforcement element which is coupled to the reinforcing element. a sole, a cushioning and elastic reinforcing layer of the sole assembly being interposed between the rod and said sole reinforcing element.

Une autre construction a été proposée par WO 02/07555 .Another construction was proposed by WO 02/07555 .

Le couplage des éléments de renfort de tige et de renfort de semelage permet une transmission optimum des mouvements du pied à la semelle.The coupling of the rod reinforcement elements and the sole reinforcement allows optimum transmission of the movements of the foot to the sole.

Une telle construction est particulièrement intéressante pour la marche ou la course sur des terrains accidentés car elle permet d'améliorer la stabilité du pied, la précision des appuis dans l'interface semelage / sol tout en permettant le déroulement du pied.Such a construction is particularly interesting for walking or running on uneven ground because it improves the stability of the foot, the precision of the supports in the interface sole / soil while allowing the unfolding of the foot.

Une telle construction de chaussure est donc particulièrement indiquée pour des applications de type "raid", c'est-à-dire impliquant de la course à pied dans des terrains accidentés.Such a shoe construction is therefore particularly suitable for "raid" type applications, that is to say involving running in rugged terrain.

Bien que très satisfaisante et apportant une excellente tenue et stabilité en direction transversale, une telle construction de chaussure s'avère cependant trop rigide, notamment en direction transversale pour certains utilisateurs privilégiant l'aspect course et/ou ayant des exigences moins élevées en ce qui concerne l'aspect stabilité transversale.Although very satisfactory and providing excellent strength and stability in the transverse direction, such a shoe construction is however too rigid, especially in the transverse direction for some users favoring the racing aspect and / or having lower requirements with regard to relates to the transverse stability aspect.

Le but de la présente invention est de remédier à ces inconvénients et de perfectionner une chaussure du type précitée.The object of the present invention is to overcome these disadvantages and to improve a shoe of the aforementioned type.

Ce but est atteint dans la chaussure selon la revendication 1.This object is achieved in the shoe according to claim 1.

En effet, le couplage souple en direction transversale de l'élément de renfort de semelage et de l'élément de renfort de tige permet d'assouplir la chaussure pour une application course tout en conservant une excellente transmission des mouvements du pied à la semelle via la tige.Indeed, the flexible coupling in the transverse direction of the sole reinforcing element and the stem reinforcing element makes it possible to soften the boot for a race application while maintaining excellent transmission of the movements of the foot to the sole via the stem.

Une telle construction est donc toujours adaptée à une utilisation en terrain accidenté, tout en étant plus optimisée pour une application course.Such a construction is therefore always suitable for use in rough terrain, while being more optimized for a race application.

Le couplage de l'élément de renfort de semelage et de l'élément de renfort de tige est effectué via une semelle intermédiaire amortissante.The coupling of the sole reinforcing member and the stem reinforcing member is effected via a damping midsole.

De toute façon, l'invention sera mieux comprise et d'autres caractéristiques de celle-ci seront mises en évidence à l'aide de la description qui suit en référence au dessin schématique annexé, en illustrant à titre d'exemples non limitatifs plusieurs modes de réalisation et dans lequel :

  • la figure 1 est une vue en perspective avant d'une chaussure comportant un renfort de tige et de semelage selon l'invention,
  • la figure 2 est une vue de dessous de l'ensemble renfort de semelage / semelle intermédiaire,
  • la figure 3 est une vue en perspective éclatée du semelage complet avant assemblage,
  • la figure 4 est une vue en coupe selon IV-IV de la figure 2,
  • la figure 5 est une vue en coupe selon V-V de la figure 2,
  • la figure 6 est une vue en perspective d'un élément de renfort du semelage et de tige selon un second mode de réalisation.
Anyway, the invention will be better understood and other characteristics thereof will be highlighted with the aid of the description which follows with reference to the schematic drawing annexed, illustrating by way of nonlimiting examples several embodiments and in which:
  • the figure 1 is a front perspective view of a shoe comprising a rod and sole reinforcement according to the invention,
  • the figure 2 is a bottom view of the sole reinforcement / midsole assembly,
  • the figure 3 is an exploded perspective view of the complete assembly before assembly,
  • the figure 4 is a sectional view along IV-IV of the figure 2 ,
  • the figure 5 is a sectional view according to VV of the figure 2 ,
  • the figure 6 is a perspective view of a reinforcing element of the sole and rod according to a second embodiment.

La chaussure 1 représentée à titre d'exemple non limitatif sur la figure 1 comporte une tige 10 munie d'un renfort de tige 20 et un semelage 30 comportant une structure stratifiée décrite ci-après en référence aux figures 2 à 5.The shoe 1 represented by way of non-limiting example on the figure 1 comprises a rod 10 provided with a rod reinforcement 20 and a sole assembly 30 comprising a laminated structure described hereinafter with reference to Figures 2 to 5 .

Ainsi que le montre plus particulièrement la figure 3, le semelage 30 est constitué, du bas vers le haut, d'une semelle d'usure 40, d'un élément de renfort de semelage 50 et d'une semelle intermédiaire 60.As shown more particularly by the figure 3 , the sole 30 consists, from bottom to top, of a wear sole 40, a sole reinforcing element 50 and a midsole 60.

La semelle d'usure 40, également appelée semelle de marche est en un matériau adhérent et résistant à l'usure tel que de préférence du caoutchouc, mais aussi du polyuréthane ou polymère sur base thermoplastique.The outsole 40, also called outsole is made of an adherent material and resistant to wear such as preferably rubber, but also polyurethane or polymer on thermoplastic base.

La semelle intermédiaire 60 est en un matériau amortissant tel que EVA, polyuréthane ou alliage de polymères thermodurcissables.The midsole 60 is made of a damping material such as EVA, polyurethane or thermosetting polymer alloy.

Elle est fixée directement sur la tige 10 de la chaussure et s'étend sur toute la surface du semelage. L'élément de renfort de semelage 50 est constitué par une plaque en matériau relativement rigide et présentant de préférence des caractéristiques d'élasticité, tel que polyamide, polyuréthane, PEBE, PEBA, PBT.It is fixed directly on the upper 10 of the boot and extends over the entire surface of the sole. The soleing reinforcing element 50 is constituted by a plate of relatively rigid material and preferably having elastic characteristics, such as polyamide, polyurethane, PEBE, PEBA, PBT.

Il peut également être constitué par un insert textile de préférence inextensible et résistant à l'abrasion, telle que polyester, polyamide, rigidifié par de la colle, telle que colle polyuréthane, thermofusible ou néoprène.It may also consist of a textile insert that is preferably inextensible and resistant to abrasion, such as polyester, polyamide, stiffened with glue, such as polyurethane, hot melt or neoprene glue.

Chacun des éléments 40, 50, 60 formant le semelage forme une couche s'étendant sensiblement sur toute la surface dudit semelage et/ou du pied de l'utilisateur. Notamment l'élément de renfort 50 s'étend sur pratiquement toute la longueur du semelage correspondant à celle du pied de l'utilisateur, et comporte des découpes destinées à assouplir ledit renfort en direction transversale et/ou longitudinale afin de permettre un meilleur déroulement du pied, et plus de sensations en direction transversale.Each of the elements 40, 50, 60 forming the sole formation forms a layer extending substantially over the entire surface of said sole and / or the foot of the user. In particular, the reinforcing element 50 extends over substantially the entire length of the sole assembly corresponding to that of the user's foot, and includes cutouts for softening said reinforcement in the transverse and / or longitudinal direction so as to allow a better progress of the foot, and more sensations in transverse direction.

Ainsi l'élément de renfort 50 comporte à l'avant des fentes 51 en forme de chevrons et s'étendant jusqu'au bord médial de l'élément de renfort 50. Chaque fente 51 comporte une grande branche 52 orientée sensiblement selon l'axe d'articulation métatarsophalangienne du pied et s'étendant sur à peu près la moitié de la surface transversale de l'élément de renfort 50.Thus, the reinforcing element 50 has at the front slits 51 in the form of chevrons and extending to the medial edge of the reinforcing element 50. Each slot 51 comprises a large branch 52 oriented substantially along the axis of metatarsophalangeal articulation of the foot and extending over approximately half of the transverse surface of the reinforcing element 50.

Ces fentes 52 sont destinées à faciliter la flexion dudit élément de renfort 50, suivant la direction de l'axe d'articulation métatarsophalangienne, et donc de faciliter le déroulement du pied.These slots 52 are intended to facilitate the bending of said reinforcing element 50, in the direction of the axis of metatarsophalangeal articulation, and thus to facilitate the unwinding of the foot.

Chaque grande branche 52 de chaque fente 51 se prolonge jusqu'au bord médial de l'élément de renfort 50 par une petite branche 53 s'étendant sensiblement à 90° par rapport à la direction de ladite grande branche 52.Each large branch 52 of each slot 51 extends to the medial edge of the reinforcing element 50 by a small branch 53 extending substantially 90 ° to the direction of said major branch 52.

Le but des petites branches ou fentes 53 est d'assouplir l'élément de renfort 50 sur le bord médial pour de meilleures sensations du terrain.The purpose of the small branches or slots 53 is to soften the reinforcing element 50 on the medial edge for better feeling of the ground.

De petites fentes 54 orientées dans le prolongement des fentes 52 et donc symétriquement aux fentes 53 par rapport à l'axe longitudinal L de l'élément de renfort 50, s'étendent quant à elles jusqu'au bord latéral de l'élément de renfort 50, de façon à assouplir ce bord latéral de l'élément de renfort pour de meilleures sensations du terrain.Small slots 54 oriented in the extension of the slots 52 and therefore symmetrically to the slots 53 with respect to the longitudinal axis L of the reinforcing element 50, extend as for them to the lateral edge of the reinforcing element 50, so as to soften this side edge of the reinforcing element for better feeling of the ground.

Au niveau du talon, l'élément de renfort 50 se subdivise en deux branches respectivement médiale 55 et latérale 56, de façon à assouplir l'élément de renfort 50 en direction transversale et fournir de meilleures sensations, d'un bord médial à l'autre latéral du semelage et inversement. Au niveau de la voûte plantaire, l'élément de renfort est aminci et présente des bords droits ou légèrement concaves 58.At the level of the heel, the reinforcing element 50 is subdivided into two branches, respectively medial 55 and lateral 56, so as to soften the reinforcing element 50 in the transverse direction and to provide better sensations, from a medial edge to the other side of the sole and vice versa. At the level of the arch, the reinforcing element is thinned and has straight or slightly concave edges 58.

Bien entendu, la forme décrite ci-avant de l'élément de renfort peut être différente en fonction des effets recherchés. La forme décrite ci-avant est conçue spécifiquement pour une application course, d'où la souplesse en déroulement et les découpes destinées à favoriser les sensations.Of course, the form described above of the reinforcing element may be different depending on the desired effects. The form described above is designed specifically for a race application, hence the flexibility in unwinding and cutting to promote sensations.

La semelle d'usure 40 s'étend essentiellement sur toute la surface du semelage et présente des découpes 41 destinées essentiellement à visualiser l'élément de renfort 50.The outsole 40 extends essentially over the entire surface of the sole and has cutouts 41 intended essentially to visualize the reinforcing element 50.

L'élément de renfort de tige 20 est constitué dans le cas présent d'un élément tridimensionnel sensiblement en forme de U 21, comportant à chacune de ses extrémités un retour 22.The rod reinforcement element 20 is constituted in this case by a substantially U-shaped three-dimensional element 21, comprising at each of its ends a return 22.

La partie en forme de U 21 de l'élément de renfort de tige 20 est destinée à entourer la partie talon de la semelle intermédiaire 60 et de la tige 10 de la chaussure, et à y être fixée par collage.The U-shaped portion 21 of the rod reinforcing member 20 is intended to surround the heel portion of the midsole 60 and the upper 10 of the shoe, and to be fixed by gluing.

Chacun des retours 22 de l'élément de renfort 20 s'étend transversalement vers l'intérieur par rapport à la partie en forme de U, de façon à venir bord à bord contre les bords 58 de l'élément de renfort de semelage 50 au niveau de la zone de la voûte plantaire tout en laissant un jeu compris entre 0 et 5mm environ.Each of the returns 22 of the reinforcing member 20 extends transversely inwardly with respect to the U-shaped portion, so as to abut against the edges 58 of the sole reinforcing member 50 at level of the arch area while leaving a clearance of between 0 and 5mm approximately.

Le couplage de l'élément de renfort 20 à l'élément de renfort 50 s'effectue via la semelle intermédiaire 60 sur laquelle ces deux éléments sont fixés, par exemple par collage.The coupling of the reinforcing element 20 to the reinforcing element 50 is effected via the midsole 60 on which these two elements are fixed, for example by gluing.

De préférence, la semelle EVA comporte en creux une empreinte correspondant au profil/contour des deux éléments de renfort 20, 50 et dont la profondeur correspond à l'épaisseur desdits éléments de renfort.Preferably, the EVA sole includes an indentation corresponding to the profile / contour of the two reinforcing elements 20, 50 and whose depth corresponds to the thickness of said reinforcing elements.

Lors du montage de la chaussure, les deux éléments de renfort 20, 50 sont mis en place dans les empreintes associées de la semelle intermédiaire 60 et assemblés à cette dernière par collage. La semelle d'usure 40 est également collée à l'ensemble et le semelage 30 ainsi constitué est assemblé par collage à la tige 10 de la chaussure, la partie supérieure du U 21 de l'élément de renfort 20 étant également collé à la tige.During the mounting of the shoe, the two reinforcing elements 20, 50 are put in place in the associated footprints of the midsole 60 and assembled to the latter by gluing. The outsole 40 is also glued to the assembly and the sole 30 thus formed is assembled by gluing to the upper 10 of the boot, the upper part of the U 21 of the reinforcing element 20 being also glued to the upper. .

Par cette construction, on obtient, via le collage sur la semelle intermédiaire 60, un couplage souple de l'élément de renfort de tige 30 avec l'élément de renfort de semelage 50. En fait, l'élément de renfort de tige 20 est à la fois un élément de renfort de tige 20 et de renfort du semelage 30.By this construction, via bonding on the midsole 60, a flexible coupling of the stem reinforcing member 30 with the soleing reinforcing member 50 is achieved. In fact, the stem reinforcing member 20 is both a rod reinforcement element 20 and a reinforcement of the sole assembly 30.

Ce couplage souple des deux types de renforts 20, 50 permet de concilier les exigences contradictoires de rigidité, tenue latérale du pied sur terrain accidenté et souplesse liée aux exigences de la course à pied.This flexible coupling of the two types of reinforcements 20, 50 makes it possible to reconcile the contradictory requirements of rigidity, lateral resistance of the foot on uneven ground and flexibility related to the requirements of running.

La figure 6 décrit un autre mode de réalisation dans lequel les éléments de renfort de tige et de semelle sont intégrés côté médial et latéral. Dans ce cas, l'élément de renfort de semelage 150 est constitué de deux parties respectivement médiale 160, 170 et latérale 180, 190. La partie médiale comporte une partie allongée sensiblement plane 160 s'étendant sur une demi-moitié, en direction longitudinale, du semelage, et une branche 170 entourant à moitié le talon côté médial. La branche 170 comporte une patte verticale 171 s'élevant à partir de la partie plane 160 au niveau de la zone de la voûte plantaire et s'arrondissant par une patte 172 en demi U autour d'une première moitié de talon, côté médial. L'autre partie 180, 190 de l'élément de renfort comporte de façon symétrique une partie allongée sensiblement plane 180 et s'étendant sur une demi-moitié, en direction longitudinale, du semelage, et une branche 190 entourant à moitié le talon côté latéral par une patte verticale 192 et une patte en demi U 192.The figure 6 discloses another embodiment in which the rod and sole reinforcement elements are integrated medial and lateral side. In this case, the soleing reinforcing element 150 consists of two medial portions 160, 170 and 180, 190. The medial portion comprises a substantially flat elongate portion 160 extending over half a half, in the longitudinal direction. , sole, and a branch 170 half surrounding the heel medial side. The branch 170 has a vertical tab 171 rising from the flat portion 160 at the area of the arch and rounding with a leg 172 half U around a first half of the heel, medial side. The other portion 180, 190 of the reinforcing member symmetrically comprises a substantially flat elongated portion 180 and extending for half a half, longitudinally, of the sole, and a branch 190 half-circling the side heel. lateral by a vertical leg 192 and a leg in half U 192.

Les deux parties planes 160, 180 comportent des pattes transversales respectivement 161, 181, imbriquées les unes dans les autres.The two flat portions 160, 180 have transverse tabs respectively 161, 181, nested one inside the other.

Le couplage des deux parties de renfort médiale et latérale est effectué comme précédemment via le collage de chacune de ces deux parties sur la semelle intermédiaire au niveau de leurs parties plane 160, 180, et au niveau de la tige via leurs branches 170, 190.The coupling of the two medial and lateral reinforcement portions is carried out as previously via the gluing of each of these two parts on the midsole at their flat portions 160, 180, and at the stem via their branches 170, 190.

Le couplage s'effectue donc essentiellement en direction longitudinale, avec un effet au niveau transversal selon la longueur des pattes transversales 161, 181.The coupling is therefore essentially in the longitudinal direction, with an effect at the transverse level according to the length of the transverse tabs 161, 181.

Ce mode de réalisation présente l'avantage de permettre des rigidités différentes des éléments de renfort 160, 170, et 180, 190, et donc de fournir une rigidité/renfort asymétriques côté médial et latéral selon l'effet recherché.This embodiment has the advantage of allowing different stiffnesses of the reinforcing elements 160, 170, and 180, 190, and therefore of providing asymmetrical stiffness / reinforcement on the medial and lateral side depending on the desired effect.
