Description

La présente invention a pour objet une chaussure, destinée notamment à la course à pied, et plus particulièrement à la course à pied en tout-terrain.The subject of the present invention is a shoe, intended in particular for running, and more specifically to cross-country running.

La course à pied en tout-terrain se pratique dans des courses particulières appelées "raid" et se déroulant généralement en terrain montagneux et sur une durée de plusieurs jours.All-terrain running is practiced in specific races called "raid" and generally taking place in mountainous terrain and over a period of several days.

Initialement les chaussures conçues pour de telles courses avaient une tige en cuir ou autres matériaux assez rigides de façon à protéger le pied contre les cailloux,...etc.Initially the shoes designed for such races had a leather or other upper fairly rigid materials so as to protect the foot against stones, ... etc.

Plus récemment, la demanderesse a proposé une chaussure spécifique "XA Series" conçue spécialement pour ce type de course et extrêmement légère, dont la tige est constituée simplement d'un matériau en maille très aérée.More recently, the applicant has proposed a specific shoe "XA Series" designed specially for this type of race and extremely light, of which the rod is made just a very airy mesh material.

Cette chaussure présente effectivement une aération optimale et sa construction permet d'évacuer l'eau dès que l'on traverse un ruisseau.This shoe actually has optimal ventilation and its construction allows drain the water as soon as you cross a stream.

L'inconvénient d'une telle chaussure est qu'elle ne peut réellement être portée sans chaussette, et que, même si la chaussure évacue bien l'eau, la chaussette a tendance à rester mouillée et le pied baigne dans l'humidité, se flétrit et devient plus fragile.The downside of such a shoe is that it cannot actually be worn without sock, and even if the shoe drains water well, the sock tends to stay wet and the foot is bathed in moisture, withers and becomes more fragile.

Le but de la présente invention est de remédier à ces inconvénients et de fournir une construction de chaussure qui favorise la ventilation et puisse être portée sans chaussettes, même dans des conditions très rudes de course.The object of the present invention is to remedy these drawbacks and to provide a shoe construction that promotes ventilation and can be worn without socks, even in very rough racing conditions.

Ce but est atteint dans la chaussure selon l'invention, qui est du type comportant une tige et un semelage, par le fait que la tige est constituée par un chausson assemblé selon une première couture d'assemblage longitudinale et une seconde couture d'assemblage verticale, les deux coutures longitudinale et verticale étant disposées sur le côté latéral de la chaussure et étant les seules coutures d'assemblage du chausson.This object is achieved in the shoe according to the invention, which is of the type comprising a rod and a sole assembly, by the fact that the upper is constituted by a liner assembled according to a first longitudinal assembly seam and a second vertical assembly seam, both longitudinal and vertical seams being arranged on the lateral side of the shoe and being the only assembly seams of the liner.

De ce fait, la tige, ou chausson, ne comporte côté intérieur que deux coutures d'assemblage, qui de plus sont disposées uniquement du côté latéral et sont donc quasiment imperceptibles pour le pied.As a result, the upper, or liner, has only two assembly seams on the inside, which are also arranged only on the lateral side and are therefore almost imperceptible for the foot.

De ce fait, la chaussure peut être portée sans chaussettes, même pendant de longues durées et avec un serrage conséquent, sans que le pied ne ressente aucune couture et ne soit blessé.As a result, the shoe can be worn without socks, even for long periods of time. and with a consequent tightening, without the foot feeling any seam and being injured.

De préférence, la tige est en un matériau extensible et aéré, la tige s'adapte donc parfaitement au pied et laisse celui-ci respirer.Preferably, the rod is made of a stretchy and ventilated material, the rod therefore adapts perfectly on the foot and let it breathe.

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 représentant à titre d'exemples non limitatifs plusieurs modes de réalisation préférés et dans lesquels :

  • la figure 1 est une vue en perspective éclatée d'une chaussure selon un premier exemple de réalisation,
  • la figure 2 est une vue en perspective éclatée de la chaussure de la figure 1,
  • la figure 3 est une vue à plat du patronage du chausson et du gousset,
  • la figure 4 est une vue similaire à la figure 1 d'une chaussure selon un autre mode de réalisation.
The invention will be better understood and other characteristics of it will be highlighted with the aid of the description which follows with reference to the appended schematic drawing showing by way of nonlimiting examples several preferred embodiments and which :
  • FIG. 1 is an exploded perspective view of a shoe according to a first embodiment example,
  • FIG. 2 is an exploded perspective view of the shoe of FIG. 1,
  • FIG. 3 is a flat view of the pattern of the liner and the gusset,
  • Figure 4 is a view similar to Figure 1 of a shoe according to another embodiment.

Ainsi que le montrent plus particulièrement les figures 1 et 2, la chaussure de sport 1 selon l'invention est constituée d'un semelage 10, d'un système de laçage 20 et d'une tige 30, en l'occurrence une tige basse.As shown more particularly in Figures 1 and 2, the sports shoe 1 according to the invention consists of a sole assembly 10, a lacing system 20 and a rod 30, in the occurrence of a low stem.

Comme le montrent plus particulièrement les figures 2 et 3, la tige 30 est essentiellement constituée d'un chausson 40 constitué à partir d'un patronage en une seule pièce et définissant à la fois une empeigne 41 et un fond ou semelle 42, ainsi qu'une ouverture de passage du pied et de laçage 45, et un bord supérieur 46.As shown more particularly in Figures 2 and 3, the rod 30 is essentially consisting of a liner 40 formed from a single piece pattern and defining both an upper 41 and a bottom or sole 42, as well as a foot passage opening and lacing 45, and an upper edge 46.

Comme on le verra plus en détail plus loin, le chausson 40 est assemblé à l'aide de deux seules coutures, à savoir d'une couture verticale zig zag 43 qui joint à plat les deux extrémités 41c, 41b de l'empeigne, et d'une couture longitudinale strobel 44 qui assemble le bord libre 42a de la semelle avec le bord inférieur 41c de l'empeigne.As will be seen in more detail below, the liner 40 is assembled using two only seams, namely a vertical zig zag 43 seam which joins the two ends flat 41c, 41b of the vamp, and of a longitudinal strobel seam 44 which assembles the free edge 42a of the sole with the lower edge 41c of the upper.

Comme le montre la figure 2, la couture strobel 44 se situe uniquement du côté latéral de la chaussure, de même que la couture zig zag 43.As shown in Figure 2, the strobel seam 44 is located only on the lateral side of the shoe, as well as the zig zag seam 43.

Ces deux coutures 43, 44 sont les deux seules coutures d'assemblage du chausson 40 proprement dit, et se retrouvent côté intérieur de celui-ci.These two seams 43, 44 are the only two seams for assembling the liner 40 proper, and end up on the inner side of it.

Comme il s'agit de coutures à plat et qu'elles sont situées côté latéral du chausson, elles ne constituent pas une gêne pour le pied, même si celui-ci est nu et si la chaussure est portée pendant de longues heures et dans des conditions extrêmes de course.Since these are flat seams and they are located on the lateral side of the liner, they do not do not cause discomfort to the foot, even if it is bare and the shoe is worn for long hours and in extreme racing conditions.

Une languette de confort 47 est assemblée par son extrémité basse 47a à l'extrémité basse de l'ouverture de laçage 45.A comfort tab 47 is assembled by its lower end 47a at the lower end lacing opening 45.

Un empiècement 31 est assemblé à la tige dans la zone du talon de façon à former un gousset dans lequel sera mis en place un contrefort talon 32. L'empiècement ou gousset 31 est fixé par son bord supérieur 31a au bord supérieur 46 de la tige par une couture retournée (non représentée sur le dessin) de façon à ne pas créer de couture à l'intérieur du chausson. Il est ensuite fixé en prise de montage par son bord inférieur 31c à la tige et au semelage 10.A yoke 31 is assembled to the upper in the heel area so as to form a gusset in which heel counter 32 will be placed. The yoke or gusset 31 is fixed by its upper edge 31a to the upper edge 46 of the rod by an inverted seam (not shown in the drawing) so as not to create a seam inside the liner. It is then fixed in mounting socket by its lower edge 31c to the rod and to the sole assembly 10.

De préférence, le gousset 31 est également cousu au chausson le long de ses bords verticaux 31b par une couture de type piqûre simple non perceptible, de façon à ne pas constituer de couture gênante pour le pied à l'intérieur du chausson. Le gousset 31 pourrait être également collé pour garantir toute absence de couture. Il peut être aussi simplement cousu par son bord supérieur 31a.Preferably, the gusset 31 is also sewn to the liner along its edges vertical 31b by a simple stitching type not perceptible, so as not to constitute an embarrassing seam for the foot inside the liner. Gusset 31 could also be glued to ensure no seams are present. It can also be simply sewn by its upper edge 31a.

Selon un mode de réalisation préféré, de la mousse (non représentée sur le dessin) est interposée entre la paroi externe du chausson 40 et le contrefort talon 32 avant la fermeture du gousset 30. Le contrefort talon 32 de même que la mousse peuvent être maintenus en place par collage.According to a preferred embodiment, foam (not shown in the drawing) is interposed between the outer wall of the liner 40 and the heel counter 32 before the closure of the gusset 30. The heel counter 32 as well as the foam can be held in place by collage.

Le chausson 40 est en un matériau très souple, extensible et aéré de façon à bien s'adapter au contour du pied, à être confortable et agréable à porter et bien évacuer l'humidité et la transpiration. Ce matériau est également traité contre les bactéries et est de préférence en un matériau évacuant l'humidité. Comme montré sur la figure 2, ce matériau 50 a de préférence une structure tridimensionnelle, à savoir deux nappes textiles 51, 53 reliées par une couche de fils de liaison 52 s'étendant essentiellement perpendiculairement à ces deux nappes 51, 53.The liner 40 is made of a very flexible, extensible and ventilated material so as to adapt well around the foot, to be comfortable and comfortable to wear and to wick away moisture and sweat. This material is also treated against bacteria and is preferably in a moisture-wicking material. As shown in FIG. 2, this material 50 preferably has a three-dimensional structure, namely two textile layers 51, 53 connected by a layer of connecting wires 52 extending essentially perpendicular to these two plies 51, 53.

Selon un mode de réalisation préféré, la nappe 51 située du côté de la peau est en un mélange de nylon et de polyester, les fils de la couche de liaison 52 sont en polyester et la nappe externe 53 est également en polyester de type connu sous la dénomination commerciale "coolmax".According to a preferred embodiment, the ply 51 located on the side of the skin is in one mixture of nylon and polyester, the wires of the tie layer 52 are made of polyester and the outer ply 53 is also made of polyester of the type known under the trade name "Coolmax".

Le chausson 40 est par ailleurs recouvert à l'avant par une couche externe de protection 33, constituée en l'occurrence par un filet à mailles très fines. Le filet de la couche de protection 33 est de préférence en matériau indéformable tel que du nylon. La couche de protection 33 recouvre le chausson 40 depuis son extrémité avant jusqu'au niveau des bords verticaux 31b du gousset 31.The boot 40 is also covered at the front by an external protective layer 33, constituted in this case by a very fine mesh net. The protective layer net 33 is preferably made of a non-deformable material such as nylon. The protective layer 33 covers the liner 40 from its front end to the level of the vertical edges 31b pocket 31.

Le but premier de la couche de protection 33 est d'éviter, à l'avant, toute pénétration à l'intérieur du chausson d'éléments étrangers tels que sable, poussières,...etc.The primary purpose of the protective layer 33 is to prevent any penetration at the front. the interior of the boot from foreign elements such as sand, dust, etc.

En effet, la chaussure étant destinée à être portée sans chaussettes, il est primordial d'arrêter toute pénétration de corps étrangers. A l'arrière la fonction de protection est assurée par le gousset 31 et l'ensemble contrefort 32 / mousse situés à l'intérieur dudit gousset.Indeed, the shoe being intended to be worn without socks, it is essential to stop any penetration of foreign bodies. At the rear, the protection function is ensured by the gusset 31 and the buttress 32 / foam assembly located inside said gusset.

De façon à limiter les coutures, la couche de protection 33 est assemblée au chausson 40 seulement pas une couture le long de l'ouverture de laçage 45 et au niveau de la liaison chausson/gousset. Le bas de la couche de protection 33 est par ailleurs assemblé à la tige et au semelage 10 lors du montage proprement dit.In order to limit the seams, the protective layer 33 is assembled to the liner 40 only not a seam along the lacing opening 45 and at the connection boot / pocket. The bottom of the protective layer 33 is also assembled to the rod and to the sole assembly 10 during the actual assembly.

Pour parfaire l'étanchéité du chausson 40, une guêtre d'étanchéité 34 est fixée le long du bord supérieur 46 et de l'ouverture de laçage 45 dudit chausson.To complete the tightness of the boot 40, a sealing gaiter 34 is fixed along the upper edge 46 and the lacing opening 45 of said liner.

Le but de cette guêtre 34, de même que le filet 33, est essentiellement d'éviter toute pénétration de corps étrangers à l'intérieur du chausson 40, et donc d'éviter la venue de tels corps étrangers au contact direct du pied. Cette guêtre 34 est en un matériau à maille très fine, élastique tel que du lycra. Elle se comporte comme une chaussette fixée au bord supérieur du chausson. Cette guêtre 34 est munie dans la zone de laçage d'un trou 35 dont le but sera expliqué ultérieurement. Le trou 35 se trouve "bouché" par la languette 47 située en dessous et ne porte donc pas préjudice à l'étanchéité du chausson. Un embout de protection 38 est par ailleurs fixé, de préférence par collage, en bout du chausson 40.The purpose of this gaiter 34, like the net 33, is essentially to avoid any penetration of foreign bodies inside the boot 40, and therefore to prevent the arrival of such foreign bodies in direct contact with the foot. This gaiter 34 is made of a very fine mesh material, elastic such as lycra. It behaves like a sock attached to the upper edge of the slipper. This gaiter 34 is provided in the lacing area with a hole 35 whose purpose will be explained later. The hole 35 is "plugged" by the tongue 47 located below and therefore does not affect the tightness of the boot. A protective cap 38 is by elsewhere fixed, preferably by gluing, at the end of the boot 40.

Le système de laçage 20 comporte deux quartiers de serrage 21 disposés symétriquement du côté latéral et médial de la chaussure. Chaque quartier de serrage 21 est en l'occurrence formé de plusieurs languettes 22, ayant chacune une forme de Vé et montées sur une bride talon 25 s'étendant en oblique depuis le semelage à l'avant du quartier, jusqu'au-dessus du contrefort talon 32 à l'arrière en entourant ledit talon.The lacing system 20 comprises two clamping quarters 21 arranged symmetrically lateral and medial side of the shoe. Each clamping quarter 21 is in this case formed of several tongues 22, each having a V shape and mounted on a flange heel 25 extending obliquely from the sole assembly at the front of the quarter, to above the heel counter 32 at the rear surrounding said heel.

Un contrefort talon externe 27 peut par ailleurs être associé au système de laçage 20. Chaque languette de serrage 22 est munie à son extrémité supérieure d'un passant 23 destiné à recevoir un lacet 24 ou similaire, le serrage étant effectué par exemple à l'aide d'un bloqueur 28. L'ensemble des languettes 22 / bride talon 25 est de préférence assemblé à la tige 30 en prise de montage par son bord inférieur 26.An external heel counter 27 can also be associated with the lacing system 20. Each clamping tab 22 is provided at its upper end with a loop 23 intended to receiving a lace 24 or similar, the tightening being effected for example using a blocker 28. The set of tongues 22 / heel flange 25 is preferably assembled to the rod 30 in mounting socket by its lower edge 26.

Néanmoins, des coutures d'assemblage 25a au chausson 40 peuvent être prévues par exemple au niveau de la bride talon 25.However, assembly seams 25a to the liner 40 can be provided by example at the heel strap 25.

Bien entendu, d'autres moyens de serrage tel que système auto-agrippant peuvent être prévus. Les deux quartiers de serrage 21 peuvent être parfaitement symétriques ou être différents, le quartier de serrage médial étant par exemple plus important pour avoir en même temps un effet support de voûte plantaire.Of course, other clamping means such as a hook-and-loop system can be provided. The two clamping quarters 21 can be perfectly symmetrical or be different, the medial tightening quarter being for example more important to have at the same time an arch support effect.

Le trou 35 de la guêtre est destiné au passage du lacet 24 et de son bloqueur 28 de façon à garantir le rangement de ce dernier à l'intérieur de ladite guêtre 34 et empêcher tout risque de ballottement de celui-ci à l'extérieur.The hole 35 of the gaiter is intended for the passage of the lace 24 and of its blocker 28 so as to guarantee the storage of the latter inside said gaiter 34 and prevent any risk of sloshing of it outside.

Enfin, le semelage 10 est constitué d'une semelle externe 11 définie en fonction de l'usage prévu de la chaussure. Par exemple, cette semelle externe 11 aura des crampons adaptés au type d'utilisation et sera plus ou moins raide selon l'usage souhaité. Cette semelle externe 11 qui n'est pas détaillée de façon plus approfondie pourra notamment être en plusieurs parties.Finally, the sole assembly 10 consists of an outer sole 11 defined according to the use expected from the shoe. For example, this outer sole 11 will have studs adapted to the type of use and will be more or less stiff depending on the desired use. This outsole 11 which is not detailed in more detail may in particular be in several parts.

Le semelage 10 comporte également une semelle de confort 12 en matériau amortissant et de préférence aéré tel que de la mousse connue sous la dénomination commerciale Brock.The sole assembly 10 also includes a comfort sole 12 made of shock absorbing material and preferably airy, such as foam known under the trade name Brock.

Cette semelle de confort 12 remplace avantageusement les semelles de confort disposées en général à l'intérieur de la tige, mais est ici prévue à l'extérieur de façon à ne pas constituer à l'intérieur du chausson 40 un bord qui constituerait une rupture de la surface d'appui et serait susceptible d'être source de blessure pour un pied nu.This comfort sole 12 advantageously replaces the comfort soles arranged generally inside the rod, but is here provided outside so as not to constitute inside the liner 40 an edge which would constitute a rupture of the bearing surface and would likely to cause injury to a bare foot.

En fait, la construction de chaussure expliquée ci-avant est une sorte de construction inversée, un maximum de coutures étant reportées à l'extérieur du chausson, de même que la semelle interne. Il en résulte une chaussure très confortable et agréable à porter, même pieds nus, et garantissant néanmoins une bonne tenue de pied et accroche sur le terrain,In fact, the shoe construction explained above is a kind of construction reverse, a maximum of seams being carried outside the boot, as well as the insole. The result is a shoe that is very comfortable and comfortable to wear, even on feet. naked, and nevertheless guaranteeing good footing and grip on the ground,

Par ailleurs, le gain de poids en supprimant des chaussettes est de l'ordre d'au minimum 80g par paire, notamment vis à vis de chaussettes mouillées, ce qui est extrêmement important pour des courses de longue durée.In addition, the weight gain by removing socks is of the order of at least 80g per pair, especially with wet socks, which is extremely important for long races.

Comme on l'aura compris également, un maximum d'éléments de la chaussure est également assemblé entre la tige 30 et le semelage 10, lors du montage, c'est-à-dire du collage du semelage, en prise de montage, et c'est notamment le cas du gousset 31, du contrefort 32, du filet de protection 33, de l'embout 38 et du système de laçage 20.As will also have been understood, a maximum of elements of the shoe is also assembled between the rod 30 and the sole assembly 10, during assembly, that is to say bonding sole assembly, in mounting, and this is particularly the case of the gusset 31, the buttress 32, the protective net 33, the end piece 38 and the lacing system 20.

La figure 4 illustre un autre mode de réalisation dans lequel les mêmes éléments sont désignés par les mêmes références ou des références similaires.FIG. 4 illustrates another embodiment in which the same elements are designated by the same or similar references.

La seule différence entre la chaussure de cette figure et celles des figures 1 à 3 réside dans le fait que le système de laçage, en l'occurrence les languettes 22a, 22b et la bride talon 25 sont également cousues sur le chausson 40 par des coutures 29.The only difference between the shoe in this figure and those in Figures 1 to 3 is in the fact that the lacing system, in this case the tabs 22a, 22b and the heel strap 25 are also sewn onto the liner 40 by seams 29.

Par ailleurs, les languettes sont légèrement différentes, les deux premières 22a étant évidées tandis que la dernière 22b est pleine. Furthermore, the tongues are slightly different, the first two 22a being hollowed out while the last 22b is full.

Bien entendu, la présente invention n'est pas limitée aux exemples de réalisation décrits ici à titre d'exemples non limitatifs mais en englobe tous les modes de réalisation similaires ou équivalents. Elle s'applique également à tout type de chaussure pour laquelle des problèmes similaires ou identiques devraient être résolus.Of course, the present invention is not limited to the exemplary embodiments described here by way of nonlimiting examples but encompasses all similar embodiments thereof or equivalents. It also applies to any type of shoe for which problems similar or identical should be resolved.
