Description

La présente invention concerne une chaussure de sport à laçage à tige haute comprenant une partie interne semi-rigide entourant le talon, la cheville et partiellement le pied et une partie externe relativement souple, entourant la partie interne.The present invention relates to a high-stemmed lacing sport shoe comprising a semi-rigid inner portion surrounding the heel, the ankle and partially the foot and a relatively flexible outer portion surrounding the inner portion.

Une chaussure de ce type est connue du brevet US 3 807 062. Dans cette chaussure, les parties interne et externe sont moulées. La partie interne est destinée à donner une certaine rigidité à la chaussure, tandis que la partie externe, moulée autour de la partie interne, est généralement flexible. Pour permettre la flexion de la jambe vers l'avant, la partie interne présente de chaque côté, au niveau de la malléole du pied, des découpes s'étendant vers l'arrière. Si l'effet recherché, à savoir la flexibilité de la tige de la chaussure vers l'avant est bien obtenu, un effet indésirable est également obtenu, à savoir un gonflement transversal de la chaussure dans la zone où se produit la flexion. Ce gonflement a pour effet de réduire la tenue du pied dans la chaussure.A shoe of this type is known from US Pat. No. 3,807,062. In this shoe, the inner and outer parts are molded. The inner portion is intended to give a certain rigidity to the shoe, while the outer portion, molded around the inner portion, is generally flexible. To allow flexion of the leg forward, the inner portion has on each side, at the malleolus of the foot, cuts extending rearwardly. If the desired effect, namely the flexibility of the upper of the shoe forward is well obtained, an undesirable effect is also obtained, namely a transverse swelling of the shoe in the area where bending occurs. This swelling has the effect of reducing the holding of the foot in the shoe.

Des mesures ont déjà été prises pour obvier à cet inconvénient. Toutes les mesures connues consistent à munir la chaussure d'une armature empêchant l'écartement des deux côtés de la chaussure. Ces armatures ont pour inconvénient d'alourdir la chaussure et si elles peuvent être acceptables pour des chaussures de ski alpin, elles le sont beaucoup moins pour d'autres chaussures telles que des chaussures pour la pratique du surf à neige.Steps have already been taken to overcome this disadvantage. All known measures are to provide the shoe with a frame preventing the spacing of both sides of the shoe. These frames have the disadvantage of weighing down the shoe and if they can be acceptable for alpine ski boots, they are a lot less for other shoes such as shoes for snowboarding.

Une chaussure de sport comprenant les caractéristiques du préambule de la revendication 1 est connue du document US 2001/0054240 A.A sports shoe comprising the features of the preamble of claim 1 is known from US 2001/0054240 A.

L'invention a pour but d'éviter un gonflement de la chaussure en flexion avant sans recours à une armature auxiliaire.The object of the invention is to prevent swelling of the boot in front flexion without recourse to an auxiliary reinforcement.

Ce problème est résolu par la chaussure de sport selon l'invention telle que définie dans la partie caractérisante de la revendication 1.This problem is solved by the sports shoe according to the invention as defined in the characterizing part of claim 1.

La première partie et la seconde partie peuvent être réalisées en un matériau composite comprenant deux couches de feutre liées par un mélange comprenant de l'éthylène acétate de vinyle (EVA) et du polyéthylène (PE).The first part and the second part may be made of a composite material comprising two layers of felt bound by a mixture comprising ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA) and polyethylene (PE).

L'épaisseur des couches de feutre de la première partie est supérieure à l'épaisseur des couches de feutre de la second partie.The thickness of the felt layers of the first portion is greater than the thickness of the felt layers of the second portion.

Selon un mode d'exécution de l'invention, la partie externe est essentiellement en cuir et la partie interne est fixée, par exemple par couture, à la partie externe.According to one embodiment of the invention, the outer part is essentially leather and the inner part is fixed, for example by sewing, to the outer part.

L'effort exercé par le laçage sur la tige est avantageusement au moins essentiellement supporté par la partie interne, de telle sorte que le cuir n'est pas sollicité.The force exerted by the lacing on the rod is advantageously at least substantially supported by the inner part, so that the leather is not stressed.

Le dessin annexé représente, à titre d'exemple, un mode d'exécution de l'invention.The appended drawing represents, by way of example, an embodiment of the invention.

La figure 1 est une vue de face, oblique, d'une chaussure de surf, languette rabattue vers l'avant.Figure 1 is a front view, oblique, of a surf boot, tongue folded forward.

La figure 2 est une vue ¾ arrière de la partie interne de la chaussure représentée à la figure 1.Figure 2 is a rear view of the inner part of the shoe shown in Figure 1.

La figure 3 est une vue ¾ avant de cette même partie interne.Figure 3 is a front view of this same internal part.

La tige de la chaussure représentée à la figure est constituée d'une partie externe 1 essentiellement en cuir et d'une partie interne 2 en matière synthétique semi-rigide sur laquelle le cuir est fixé par des coutures, telles que les coutures 3. Vers l'avant, la tige présente une large découpe 4 occupée par une languette 5 fixée à la tige en un point proche de l'extrémité avant du pied. De chaque côté jusque dans la région du cou de pied, la languette est en outre reliée à la tige par un tissu imprégné étanche formant soufflet et assurant l'étanchéité de la chaussure au niveau de la découpe 4. La chaussure comporte en outre une semelle 6 en matière plastique injectée sur la tige. La chaussure est enfin munie d'un laçage 7 serrant la chaussure au moyen de passants en tissu 8 dans la zone de laçage située sur le pied et au moyen de passants 9 en matière plastique dans la zone supérieure de laçage à partir du cou de pied.The upper of the shoe represented in the figure consists of an outer part 1 essentially made of leather and an inner part 2 of semi-rigid synthetic material on which the leather is fixed by seams, such as seams 3. To the front, the rod has a large cutout 4 occupied by a tongue 5 attached to the rod at a point near the front end of the foot. On each side up to the region of the instep, the tongue is further connected to the upper by a waterproof impregnated fabric forming a bellows and sealing the shoe at the cut 4. The shoe further comprises a sole 6 plastic injected on the rod. The shoe is finally provided with a lacing 7 tightening the shoe by means of fabric loops 8 in the lacing zone located on the foot and by means of plastic loops 9 in the upper lacing zone from the instep .

La partie interne 2 est représentée aux figures 2 et 3. Elle se présente elle-même sous la forme d'une botte semi-rigide constituée essentiellement d'un premier matériau 21 entourant le talon, partiellement le pied et le bas de jambe, et d'un second matériau 22. A l'avant, cette partie interne est fermée et renforcée par une pièce 23 relativement rigide en forme de capot. Les matériaux 21 et 22 comprennent deux couches de feutre liées par un mélange d'éthylène acétate de vinyle (EVA) et de polyéthylène (PE).The inner portion 2 is shown in Figures 2 and 3. It is itself in the form of a semi-rigid boot consisting essentially of a first material 21 surrounding the heel, partially the foot and the lower leg, and a second material 22. At the front, this inner portion is closed and reinforced by a relatively rigid piece 23 in the form of a cover. Materials 21 and 22 comprise two layers of felt bonded by a mixture of ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA) and polyethylene (PE).

Le premier matériau composite 21 comprend des couches de feutre de 1,8 mm d'épaisseur. Le second matériau composite comprend des couches de feutre de 1,3 mm d'épaisseur. Le second matériau est, par conséquent, moins rigide que le premier. Le recto et/ou le verso des matériaux composites peuvent être enduits du mélange permettant de lier les couches de feutre.The first composite material 21 comprises layers of felt 1.8 mm thick. The second composite material comprises layers of felt 1.3 mm thick. The second material is, therefore, less rigid than the first. The front and / or back of composite materials can be coated with the mixture to bind the layers of felt.

Ces matériaux composites présentent l'avantage de ne pas absorber l'humidité.These composite materials have the advantage of not absorbing moisture.

La partie réalisée grâce au premier matériau 21 est constituée à partir de panneaux formés et assemblés par des coutures 24 et 25. Les deux matériaux 21 et 22 sont également fixés ensemble par des coutures 26.The part made by the first material 21 is formed from panels formed and assembled by seams 24 and 25. The two materials 21 and 22 are also fixed together by seams 26.

De chaque côté du pied, dans la région malléolaire, la partie formée du matériau 21 présente des découpes 27 s'étendant vers l'arrière, ces découpes étant destinées à conférer une flexibilité à la botte en flexion vers l'avant. En allant vers l'avant de la botte, les découpes 27 se poursuivent par une très large échancrure s'étendant dans la zone située sur le pied. On voit dans le dessin que les découpes 27, et la large échancrure qui suit, sont occupées par le matériau 22. Ce matériau 22 est préformé, au moins dans la zone du cou de pied, c'est-à-dire dans la zone des découpes 27, de telle manière que lorsque la botte est entraînée en flexion vers l'avant, les zones 27 ont tendance à se rapprocher au lieu de s'écarter comme c'est le cas habituellement d'une chaussure. Ceci a pour effet d'améliorer la tenue du pied en flexion au lieu de la réduire.On each side of the foot, in the malleolar region, the portion formed of the material 21 has cutouts 27 extending rearwardly, these cutouts being intended to impart flexibility to the boot flexing forward. Going towards the front of the boot, the cuts 27 continue with a very large notch extending in the area on the foot. It can be seen in the drawing that the cutouts 27, and the wide notch that follows, are occupied by the material 22. This material 22 is preformed, at least in the area of the instep, that is to say in the area cutouts 27, such that when the boot is flexed forward, the zones 27 tend to move closer instead of away as is usually the case of a shoe. This has the effect of improving the resistance of the foot in flexion instead of reducing it.

Les passants 8 sont fixés exclusivement au matériau 22 par des rivets 10. Quant aux passants 9, ils sont fixés à travers le cuir au matériau 21 par des rivets 11. Lors du serrage du lacet, il n'y a donc pas d'effort sur le cuir.The loops 8 are fixed exclusively to the material 22 by rivets 10. As for the loops 9, they are fixed through the leather to the material 21 by rivets 11. When tightening the lace, so there is no effort on the leather.
