Abstract

The boot has two lacing zones (Z1, Z2), each with two pairs of lace-passage sections. The zones allow differentiated, separate tightening and adjustment of the lacing by a user, irrespective of lacing units. The zones extend between attachment and rapid tightening units to form an intermediate linking and pulling part. The part allows differentiated tightening and adjustment of the boot by gripping the intermediate part.

Description

L'invention se rattache au secteur technique des chaussures et plus spécifiquement à leur laçage.The invention relates to the technical sector of shoes and more specifically to their lacing.

La plupart des chaussures de ville, de sports, de randonnées, de montagnes, sont équipées avec des zones de laçage par crochets, oeillets, disposés sur des garants situés de part et d'autre de la zone d'ouverture de la chaussure pour faciliter l'introduction du pied de l'utilisateur.Most of the city shoes, sports, hiking, mountains, are equipped with lacing areas by hooks, eyelets, arranged on guards located on both sides of the opening area of the shoe to facilitate the introduction of the user's foot.

La zone de fixation du lacet comprend ainsi, selon l'application de la chaussure, plusieurs rangées de couples de crochets ou oeillets qui permettent de tenir le pied dans la chaussure. Le réglage du serrage reste largement uniforme et intangible et dépend de l'effort de tension effectué sur les deux brins du lacet.The fastening area of the lace thus comprises, depending on the application of the shoe, several rows of pairs of hooks or eyelets that hold the foot in the shoe. The adjustment of the clamping remains largely uniform and intangible and depends on the tension force made on the two strands of the lace.

Par ailleurs, et à titre d'exemple, dans l'utilisation de chaussures pour la pratique de randonnées sportives, les pieds du sportif sont très largement sollicités d'une part selon les contraintes du terrain, avec des effets de basculement latéral, effets qui peuvent être préjudiciables, et d'autre part, par le glissement du pied dans la chaussure elle-même.Moreover, and by way of example, in the use of shoes for the practice of sporting hikes, the feet of the sportsman are very much solicited on the one hand according to the constraints of the ground, with lateral tilting effects, effects which can be detrimental, and secondly, by the sliding of the foot in the shoe itself.

Pour améliorer le confort de la chaussure, certains fabricants ont déplacé les zones réceptrices des oeillets et/ou crochets ou similaires sur les côtés latéraux de l'empeigne de la chaussure, sensiblement à mi-hauteur, en agrandissant ainsi la zone de laçage.To improve the comfort of the shoe, some manufacturers have moved the receiving areas of the eyelets and / or hooks or the like on the lateral sides of the upper of the shoe, substantially at mid-height, thus enlarging the lacing area.

Les pieds peuvent plus facilement glisser latéralement à l'intérieur de la chaussure et assurer un confort meilleur.
Cependant, le laçage reste unique pour la chaussure prise en elle-même, de sorte que la pression de serrage reste la même sur tout le long de la chaussure pendant toute la période d'utilisation. Dans l'hypothèse où la pression serait hétérogène à l'origine du laçage, on a constaté qu'en pratique, sur un temps d'utilisation, la pression s'uniformise sur toute la zone de serrage.The feet can more easily slide laterally inside the shoe and ensure better comfort.
However, the lacing remains unique for the shoe itself, so that the clamping pressure remains the same along the entire shoe during the entire period of use. In the hypothesis that the pressure would be heterogeneous at the origin of the lacing, it was found that in practice, over a period of use, the pressure becomes uniform over the entire clamping zone.

Les documents US-A-4 584 783 et US-A-6 148 489 décrivent une chaussure comportant un double lacet. Il convient cependant dans chacun d'entre eux de procéder au laçage individuel de chacun des deux lacets.US-A-4,584,783 and US-A-6,148,489 disclose a shoe having a double lace. It is however appropriate in each of them to proceed to the individual lacing of each of the two laces.

Le Demandeur a voulu obvier à ces inconvénients et améliorer le confort et la tenue du pied de l'utilisateur à tout moment de l'exercice de l'effort, et ce, par une adaptabilité des effets de serrage en fonction de la zone du pied, cou de pied, cheville, métatarse notamment.
Le Demandeur avait pour objectif de proposer une solution rapide et simple à mettre en oeuvre pour moduler la pression de serrage en fonction des parties de pied, et que cette pression reste constante sur une zone de serrage défini tout au long de l'activité.
Un autre but recherché selon l'invention était d'élargir la zone de serrage du pied pour une augmentation du confort et de la tenue du pied en permettant à la chaussure de s'adapter à toutes configurations de terrain parcouru par le sportif et utilisateur en général. Ces buts et d'autres encore ressortiront bien de la suite de la description.The Applicant wanted to obviate these disadvantages and improve the comfort and the holding of the foot of the user at any time of the exercise of the effort, and this, by an adaptability of the effects of tightening according to the foot zone , ankle, ankle, metatarsal including.
The Applicant's objective was to propose a quick and simple solution to implement to modulate the clamping pressure according to the foot parts, and that this pressure remains constant over a defined clamping area throughout the activity.
Another object sought after according to the invention was to widen the zone of tightening of the foot for an increase of the comfort and the holding of the foot while allowing the shoe to adapt to all configurations of ground traversed by the sportsman and user in general. These and other goals will be apparent from the rest of the description.

Selon une première caractéristique de l'invention telle que définie dans la revendication 1, la chaussure est remarquable en ce qu'elle comprend au moins deux zones de laçage différentes, successives, permettant un serrage et réglage différencié et indépendant du laçage choisi et adapté par l'utilisateur lui-même, et quel que soit le moyen de laçage, et en ce que pour chaque zone de laçage, un moyen d'attache et de serrage rapide est associé sur le lacet ou partie d'extrémité du lacet, et en ce que entre les moyens d'attache et de serrage rapide, les zones de laçage sont prolongées pour constituer une partie intermédiaire de liaison et de tirage permettant, par une action unique de saisie desdites parties intermédiaires, le serrage et le réglage différencié de la chaussure au niveau des zones de laçage concernées par le positionnement de chaque moyen d'attache.According to a first characteristic of the invention as defined in claim 1, the boot is remarkable in that it comprises at least two lacing zones. different, successive, allowing a tightening and adjustment differentiated and independent of the lacing chosen and adapted by the user himself, and whatever the means of lacing, and in that for each lacing area, a means of attachment and rapid clamping is associated on the lace or end portion of the lace, and in that between the fastening means and fast clamping, the lacing areas are extended to form an intermediate connecting portion and draw allowing, by a single action for gripping said intermediate parts, clamping and differentiated adjustment of the shoe at the lacing areas concerned by the positioning of each attachment means.

Selon une autre caractéristique, la chaussure est remarquable en ce qu'elle comprend au moins deux zones de laçage différenciées, en incluant un seul lacet, et en ce que ledit lacet reçoit au moins deux moyens d'attache et de serrage rapide, en nombre correspondant au nombre de zones de laçage et permettant, par une action unique de saisie du lacet, dans la zone située entre lesdits moyens d'attache, le serrage et réglage différencié de la chaussure au niveau des zones de laçage concernées, par le positionnement de chaque moyen d'attache.According to another characteristic, the boot is remarkable in that it comprises at least two differentiated lacing zones, including a single lace, and in that said lace receives at least two fastening means and fast clamping, in number corresponding to the number of lacing zones and allowing, by a single action of seizing the lace, in the zone between said attachment means, the clamping and differentiated adjustment of the shoe at the lacing zones concerned, by the positioning of each attachment means.

Ces caractéristiques et d'autres encore ressortiront bien de la suite de la description.These and other characteristics will be apparent from the rest of the description.

Afin de rendre plus concret l'objet de l'invention, on le décrit maintenant d'une manière non limitative illustrée aux figures des dessins.In order to make the object of the invention more concrete, it is now described in a nonlimiting manner illustrated in the figures of the drawings.

L'invention s'applique à tous types de chaussures. Pour la compréhension de l'invention, on a illustré une chaussure de sport pour la pratique de randonnées, montagnes, courses d'orientation, qui est référencée dans son ensemble par (1). Elle présente d'une manière usuelle sur sa partie de dessus une ouverture (1a) avec une languette (1b) et autour, une zone de laçage qui peut être établie à partir de crochets, oeillets, ou autres moyens disposés en plusieurs rangées successives dans la partie garant autour de ladite ouverture. Le nombre de couples de moyens (1c) de passage des lacets tels que de crochets, oeillets, est quelconque et varie selon la destination d'utilisation de la chaussure. Pour la compréhension de l'invention, il a été représenté quatre couples de moyens de passage des lacets.The invention applies to all types of shoes. For the understanding of the invention, there is illustrated a sports shoe for the practice of hiking, mountains, orienteering, which is referenced as a whole by (1). It has in a usual manner on its top part an opening (1a) with a tongue (1b) and around, a lacing zone which can be established from hooks, eyelets, or other means arranged in several successive rows in the guarantor portion around said opening. The number of pairs of means (1c) for passage of the laces such as hooks, eyelets, is any and varies depending on the destination of use of the shoe. For the understanding of the invention, it has been shown four pairs of laces passage means.

Selon une première disposition de l'invention, celle-ci vise à introduire à partir des moyens de laçage (2), au moins deux zones indépendantes de laçage successives, égales ou variables en importance, pour permettre une différenciation de l'effort de serrage et de son réglage selon les parties de pied et au gré du confort requis par l'utilisateur. Ainsi, dans la mise en oeuvre illustrée, deux zones de laçage (Z1, Z2) ont été déterminées avec chacune deux couples de moyens de passage de lacets. Le laçage peut s'effectuer de toute manière appropriée et par exemple de manière conventionnelle.According to a first provision of the invention, this is intended to introduce from the lacing means (2), at least two successive independent lacing zones, equal or variable in importance, to allow differentiation of the clamping force and its adjustment according to the foot parts and at the discretion of the comfort required by the user. So, in setting illustrated work, two lacing zones (Z1, Z2) have been determined with each two pairs of lace passage means. The lacing can be carried out in any appropriate manner and for example in a conventional manner.

Sur la figure 2, on a représenté une mise en oeuvre qui ne forme pas partie de l'invention à partir de l'utilisation de deux lacets, tandis que la figure 3 illustre la mise en oeuvre optimisée de l'invention avec un seul lacet pour assurer la fonction recherchée d'un laçage avec effort différencié de serrage.FIG. 2 shows an implementation which does not form part of the invention from the use of two laces, while FIG. 3 illustrates the optimized implementation of the invention with a single lace. to ensure the desired function of a lacing with differentiated effort clamping.

Dans l'hypothèse où la chaussure comprend deux zones de laçage avec deux lacets, outre le laçage traditionnel, un moyen d'attache (3) rapide est associé à chaque lacet. Dans l'hypothèse où la chaussure ne comprend qu'un seul lacet, celui-ci reçoit comme représenté figure 1 deux moyens d'attache rapide.Assuming that the shoe comprises two lacing zones with two laces, in addition to the traditional lacing, a fast attachment means (3) is associated with each lace. In the event that the shoe comprises only one lace, it receives as shown in Figure 1 two quick attachment means.

En pratique, le moyen d'attache rapide est connu en soi. A titre d'exemple, on a représenté l'un d'entre eux. Il comprend un corps fixe définissant un volume intérieur dans lequel se déplace, à l'encontre d'un moyen élastique de rappel, un poussoir (3a). Le corps et le poussoir sont agencés pour rester liés entre eux. Le corps et le poussoir présentent respectivement des ouvertures (3b) qui, dans une certaine position du poussoir par rapport au corps et à l'encontre du moyen élastique de rappel, laissent le passage pour l'enfilement des brins du lacet ou des lacets. D'autres réalisations de moyens d'attache rapide assurant la même fonction peuvent être utilisées.In practice, the quick coupling means is known per se. By way of example, one of them is represented. It comprises a fixed body defining an interior volume in which moves, against an elastic return means, a pusher (3a). The body and the pusher are arranged to remain interconnected. The body and the pusher respectively have openings (3b) which, in a certain position of the pusher relative to the body and against the elastic return means, leave the passage for the threading of the strands of the lace or laces. Other embodiments of quick coupling means providing the same function can be used.

Ainsi, dans la mise en oeuvre d'une chaussure incluant deux zones de laçage avec deux lacets recevant chacune un moyen d'attache rapide, il suffit de déplacer chaque moyen d'attache à la manière d'un curseur pour assurer la fermeture et le serrage désiré. On peut donc différencier l'effort de serrage des deux moyens et faire varier la pression de serrage aux endroits désirés de la chaussure de manière indépendante. Lorsque les moyens (3) d'attache et de serrage rapide sont positionnés, les brins d'extrémités libres (2a-2b) de chaque lacet peuvent être laissés flottants ou être fixés sur une bande de fixation (4) sous forme de languette auto-agrippante ou autres disposés sur l'un des côtés de la chaussure, ou dans une pochette disposée près de la languette ( 1b). En variante, les deux brins d'extrémité (2a-2b) peuvent être solidarisés entre eux par couture, soudure ou autre, de façon exercer un effort de traction homogène et régulier sur les deux brins.Thus, in the implementation of a shoe including two lacing zones with two laces each receiving a quick coupling means, it is sufficient to move each attachment means in the manner of a slider to ensure the closing and the desired tightening. It is therefore possible to differentiate the clamping force of the two means and to vary the clamping pressure at the desired locations of the boot independently. When the means (3) for fastening and fast clamping are positioned, the free end strands (2a-2b) of each lace can be left floating or fixed on a fastening strip (4) in the form of a self-locking tongue. -grip or other arranged on one side of the shoe, or in a pouch arranged near the tongue (1b). Alternatively, the two end strands (2a-2b) can be secured together by sewing, welding or otherwise, so as to exert a uniform and regular tensile force on the two strands.

Dans une mise en oeuvre optimisée représentée aux figures 3 et 5-6 selon deux variantes, l'action de serrage et de réglage différenciée de la chaussure au niveau des zones de laçage concernées s'effectue d'une manière unique à partir de la préhension d'une partie intermédiaire de liaison constituée d'au moins une ou des parties de lacet en prolongement des zones de laçage.In an optimized implementation represented in FIGS. 3 and 5-6 according to two variants, the differentiated clamping and adjustment action of the boot at the level of the lacing zones concerned is effected in a unique manner from the grip an intermediate connecting portion consisting of at least one or more yaw portions extending the lacing areas.

La mise en oeuvre optimisée de l'invention dans une première mise en oeuvre illustrée figure 3 vise l'utilisation d'un seul lacet (2) recevant les deux moyens (3) d'attache rapide dans l'hypothèse de deux zones de laçage. Dans ce cas, les deux moyens sont avantageusement disposés dans la partie médiane du lacet en étant séparés l'un de l'autre par une partie (2c) de brin de lacet susceptible de constituer un moyen de préhension et de tirage, flèche (F), pour le transport de la paire de chaussures, et ce, quel que soit l'écartement entre lesdits moyens d'attache et de serrage. Dans cette mise en oeuvre, l'enfilement du lacet dans chaque zone s'effectue pour chaque extrémité libre du lacet que traverse chaque moyen de passage du laçage, crochet, oeillet ou autre, puis après enfilement global de l'ensemble, l'extrémité libre (2a-2b) restante du lacet est à son tour enfilée dans le moyen d'attache et de serrage (3). L'opérateur peut ensuite sans difficulté assurer l'opération de serrage et de réglage différencié appropriée à des niveaux identiques ou différents. La partie (2c) de préhension peut être ensuite maintenue latéralement sur la zone d'accrochage (4) prévue à cet effet. Les brins (2a-2b) sont avantageusement solidarisés entre eux par couture, soudure ou équivalent et sont liés à la partie de préhension (2c).The optimized implementation of the invention in a first implementation illustrated in FIG. 3 aims at the use of a single lace (2) receiving the two means (3) of fast attachment in the hypothesis of two lacing zones. . In this case, the two means are advantageously arranged in the middle part of the lace being separated from each other by a portion (2c) of lace strand may constitute a gripping means and draw, arrow (F ), for the transport of the pair of shoes, and this, regardless of the spacing between said fastening means and clamping. In this implementation, the threading of the lace in each zone is carried out for each free end of the lace through which each lacing passage means, hook, eyelet or other, then after overall threading of the assembly, the end free (2a-2b) remaining lace is in turn threaded into the fastening and clamping means (3). The operator can then, without difficulty, provide the appropriate differentiated clamping and adjusting operation at identical or different levels. The gripping portion (2c) can then be held laterally on the attachment zone (4) provided for this purpose. The strands (2a-2b) are advantageously joined together by stitching, welding or the like and are connected to the gripping portion (2c).

Dans la seconde mise en oeuvre optimisée représentée aux figures 5 et 6, les extrémités libres (2a-2b) de chaque lacet situées au delà du moyen d'attache et de serrage (3) sont introduites, positionnées et maintenues dans un fourreau (5) de grande longueur constituant un moyen de préhension. Ce fourreau peut être comme représenté figure 5 conformé selon une pièce enroulable sur elle-même avec des moyens auto-agrippants (5a) de liaison et de fermeture. Ainsi, les extrémités libres (2a-2b) des lacets se trouvent maintenues serrées dans le fourreau. Celui-ci peut alors être saisi par l'utilisateur de la manière identique à l'action unique effectuée dans la mise en oeuvre décrite selon la figure 3.In the second optimized embodiment shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, the free ends (2a-2b) of each lace located beyond the fastening and clamping means (3) are introduced, positioned and held in a sheath (5). ) of great length constituting a gripping means. This sleeve may be as shown in Figure 5 shaped according to a roll-up piece on itself with self-gripping means (5a) connecting and closing. Thus, the free ends (2a-2b) of the laces are kept tight in the sheath. This can then be entered by the user in the same way as the single action performed in the implementation described in FIG.

En égard de l'objet de l'invention, des buts recherchés à l'origine d'un meilleur confort et tenue du pied de l'utilisateur en fonction des contraintes exercées, une solution particulière des moyens de passage des lacets est illustrée aux figures 2 et 3. Lesdits moyens de passage (1c) de lacet sont réalisés à partir d'une pluralité de passants sous forme de brins en matériau textile ou autre, dont les extrémités sont fixées et solidarisées au niveau de la semelle (1d) de la chaussure. Cette liaison est effectuée par couture, collage ou autre. Chaque passant donne ainsi une forme en V, dont la partie de fond sert au renvoi du lacet. Chaque passant peut présenter une certaine capacité élastique de déformation pour être mis en tension en fonction de l'effort de serrage. On peut envisager qu'un ou des passants soient ainsi disposés latéralement au niveau de la zone arrière du pied.In view of the object of the invention, the desired aims at the origin of a better comfort and holding of the foot of the user according to the stresses exerted, a particular solution of the means of passage of the laces is illustrated in FIGS. 2 and 3. Said lace passage means (1c) are made from a plurality of straps in the form of strands of textile material or other, the ends of which are fixed and secured at the sole (1d) of the shoe. This connection is made by sewing, gluing or other. Each passer and gives a V shape, the bottom portion is used to return the lace. Each passer can have a certain elastic deformation capacity to be tensioned according to the tightening force. It may be envisaged that one or more passers-by are thus disposed laterally at the level of the rear zone of the foot.

En toutes hypothèses, cette mise en oeuvre est très pratique et permet au pied de l'utilisateur de s'adapter en position dans le corps de la chaussure au gré des contraintes et sollicitations extérieures. Le serrage du pied est parfaitement maintenu. Le pied est mieux maintenu dans la chaussure et on diminue le risque de blessures.In all cases, this implementation is very practical and allows the foot of the user to adapt in position in the body of the shoe according to the constraints and external stresses. The tightening of the foot is perfectly maintained. The foot is better held in the shoe and the risk of injury is reduced.

Chaque utilisateur peut donc, par un mouvement très rapide, assurer le réglage en position des moyens (3) de réglage et adapter, pendant une activité de marche, de randonnée, course d'orientation ou autres, les effets de serrage des parties de la chaussure en fonction des situations de l'instant.Each user can therefore, by a very fast movement, ensure the adjustment in position of the means (3) of adjustment and adapt, during a walking activity, hiking, orienteering or other, the effects of tightening parts of the shoe according to the situations of the moment.

Les avantages ressortent bien de l'invention. On souligne la simplicité de mise en oeuvre de l'invention, son adaptabilité à toute chaussure existante et ce, quels que soient les moyens de passage des lacets.The advantages are apparent from the invention. It emphasizes the simplicity of implementation of the invention, its adaptability to any existing shoe and regardless of the means of passage laces.

Par ailleurs, et par la mise en oeuvre de l'invention, à tout moment de l'utilisation, les pressions exercées respectives dans les zones de laçage restent identiques.Moreover, and by the implementation of the invention, at any time during use, the respective pressures exerted in the lacing zones remain identical.

Sans sortir du cadre de l'invention, les moyens de laçage peuvent être utilisés pour recevoir plusieurs passants de liaison régulièrement disposés autour de la chaussure. Toute combinaison de positions de passants est possible sur la chaussure pour assurer la meilleur confort et tenue du pied.Without departing from the scope of the invention, the lacing means can be used to receive several binding loops regularly arranged around the shoe. Any combination of passers-by positions is possible on the shoe to ensure the best comfort and hold of the foot.
