Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an article of footwear for the practice of a sport.
  • the extreme range of rotation in the transverse direction extends over 50 degrees to 70 degrees and the normal range of Rotation in the transverse direction extends 30 degrees to 50 degrees and is substantially centered with respect to the extreme range of rotation.
  • the normal range of rotation is sufficiently wide so that the user can freely flex the ankle in normal use of the article of footwear.
  • the "angular race” remaining to stop progressively the rotation movement before the risk of injury and the abutment is certainly reduced, but it is sufficient for a number of sports that do not require extreme protection.
  • the damping means comprise a flexible blade having a first end connected to one of the two shells and a second end moving freely in the normal range of rotation and abutting on the other shell between the normal range of rotation and the extreme range of rotation.
  • the flexible blade is bonded to said shell near the joint. This achievement offers a good comfort to the user.
  • the flexible blade has a curved portion extending around the hinge, which makes it easy to bind the flexible blade to the hull.
  • Figures 1 to 4 illustrate a boot 1 comprising a body 2 for receiving the foot of a user in the lower part, a rod 4 for receiving the leg of a user in the upper part, an inner liner 3 extending to inside the rod 4 and the body 2, a hinge device 6 connecting the rod 4 to the body 2 in the intermediate part, stop means 32, 34 and damper means 14.
  • the inner lining 3 is relatively flexible. It is advantageously made of traditional shoemaking, leather or synthetic material and ensures the comfort of the user.
  • the body 2 and the rod 4 in combination with the hinge device 6 provide protection for the user.
  • the body 2 and the rod 4 each comprise a relatively rigid shell, advantageously made of plastic material, intended to protect the lower limbs of the user. These shells can be locally perforated.
  • the body extends in a substantially horizontal direction of elongation 8 when the user places his foot on a horizontal ground, while the rod extends in a substantially vertical direction of elevation.
  • the direction of elongation 8 and the direction of elevation 10 define a median plane P parallel to the plane of representation of FIGS. 1 to 3.
  • the boot 1 also has a transverse direction 12 extending substantially perpendicular to the direction of elongation 8 and to the elevation direction 10.
  • the hinge device 6 ensures the rotation of the rod 4 relative to the body 2 in the transverse direction 12. It comprises two pivot pins 24, 26 arranged substantially symmetrically with respect to the plane P and extending in the transverse direction 12 through the body 2 and the rod 4.
  • the stop means 32, 34 comprise bending stop means 32 and extension stop means 34.
  • the bending stop means 32 and the extension stop means 34 each comprise a first part 32a. 34a connected to the body and a second portion 32b, 34b connected to the rod 4, said first and second portions of the stop means in flexion and extension abutting against each other to stop the rotation of the rod 4 relative to the body 2 in the transverse direction 12, respectively in flexion and extension.
  • the damping means 14 consist of two elastically deformable blades 16, 18 connected to the rod 4 each moving inside a housing 28 formed in the body 2 and defined by a bending stop surface 20, a surface pronation / supination stop 21 and an extended stop surface 22.
  • the housings 28 and in particular their flexion, pronation / supination, and extensional stop surfaces 22 are arranged substantially symmetrically with respect to the plane P.
  • the two deformable blades 16, 18 are integrated in a damping element 30, in one piece, of elastically deformable material, and further comprising a connecting element 36 holding said deformable blades relative to the rod 4.
  • the damping element 30 is also substantially symmetrical with respect to the median plane P.
  • the deformable blades 16 extend towards the axis of articulation and substantially in the direction of elevation. They each comprise a free end 16a, 18a and an end 16b, 18b linked to the connecting element 36.
  • the connecting element 36 has a substantially U-shaped shape comprising two branches 40a, 40b extending substantially in the direction d the elongation 8 interconnected by a base 42 extending substantially in the transverse direction 12.
  • the base 42 includes a retaining pin 38 inserted into the rod 4 in the direction of elongation 8, while the branches 40a, 40b each end with a curved portion 44a, 44b, substantially circular, extending in the transverse direction 12 about the pivots 24, 26, under the enlarged head of said pivots 24, 26.
  • the connecting member 36 and the end 16b, 18b of the flexible blades connected to the curved portions 44a, 44b are thus perfectly maintained relative to the rod 4 via the curved portions 44a, 44b and the retaining pin 38.
  • the elem The damper 30 can be easily disassembled and replaced by deforming the curved portions 44a, 44b. To avoid unintended disassembly and to protect it, the blades 16, 18 will advantageously be maintained in the housing 28 behind a cover (not shown).
  • the amplitude ⁇ 1 of the free bending movement allowed by the articulation device 6, without deformation of the flexible blades 16, 18 is approximately 20 degrees with respect to the initial position represented in FIG. Figure 1. Then, on an extreme flexion amplitude of about 5 additional degrees, the flexible blades 16, 18, by deforming in bending, oppose the continuation of the bending movement and thus dampen a possible shock on the means bending stop 32.
  • the amplitude ⁇ 2 of the free extension movement authorized by the articulation device 6 is approximately 25 degrees with respect to the initial position represented in FIG. Extreme extension of about 5 additional degrees, the flexible blades 16, 18, deforming in bending, oppose the continuation of the extension movement and thus dampen any impact on the stop means 34.
  • the extent of normal rotation allowing the user to move his ankle effortlessly in the transverse direction 12 is therefore substantially 45 degrees. It is advantageously between 30 and 50 degrees, while the extreme range of rotation between the abutment against the bending stop means 32 and the abutment against the extension stop means 34 is substantially centered on the normal rotation and advantageously between 50 degrees and 70 degrees.
  • the flexible blades 16, 18 advantageously act on a range of rotation of between 5 degrees and 20 degrees, both during the bending movement and during the extension movement of the ankle.
  • the embodiment illustrated in Figures 1 to 4 allows a rotation of the rod 4 relative to the body 2 in the direction of elongation 8, to allow pronation / supination of the ankle.
  • the passages formed in the body 2 and traversed by the pivots have an oblong shape extending in the direction of elevation. 10. Slight translational movements in the elevation direction between the shaft 4 and the body 2 are also possible to follow the movement of the malleolus of the user.
  • the amplitude of each of the free pronation and supination movements is about 10 degrees (ie a pronation / supination free amplitude of about 20 degrees) and it is still advantageously possible to rotate in the direction of elongation of about 5 degrees before reaching abutment along this direction of articulation.
  • FIG. 6 illustrates a boot 1 'differing essentially from the embodiment illustrated in FIGS. 1 to 4 in that the rod 4 can pivot only in the transverse direction and in that it comprises only a single flexible blade 16' .
