Definitions

  • a device as indicated at the beginning whose length is substantially perpendicular to the axial direction of the shoe and which is intended to cover when in the closed position only partially the lace, in particular, partially loops of a lace knot, when the latter is knotted.
  • This device makes it possible to maintain the flexibility of the shoe, which may often be necessary for the sporting discipline, in addition its limited size makes it possible to simplify the manufacture, and the design of the device according to the invention assures a time of installation, closing and opening reduced.
  • the mutual attachment means of said left side of the laces covering device to the right side are mutual self-gripping means.
  • the opening and closing of the device according to the invention is simplified.
  • the series of lace-passing orifices comprises a plurality of lace-passing orifices.
  • the device according to the invention comprises at least one lace passage opening of said series which is slit-shaped.
  • the invention advantageously further comprises a series of lace passage orifices, two orifices of which are slit-shaped and two orifices are substantially circular, said slits being located one above the other parallel to a long side.
  • said laces covering device, the two substantially circular orifices being located, in particular, on either side of the two slots with respect to said long side of said device.
  • said strip is formed of a piece of leather, textile, flexible plastic material, articulated metal or any deformable material to bring the band into its closed position.
  • flexible band as used herein means any substantially planar portion of material having a relatively elongated thickness, including for example a rectangle, a trapezium, an ellipse, etc.
  • This assembly is characterized in that the anti-delamination device is an integral part of the shoe's tongue.
  • Such an embodiment has the advantage that the user never risks losing his anti-delamination device, even when the laces are completely removed.
  • the assembly is characterized in that the anti-delamination device and the orifices are cut in at least one layer of material constituting said tongue. This advantage simplifies the manufacture of the assembly.
  • the figure 1 illustrates the anti-delamination device 1 according to the invention.
  • This comprises a flexible and deformable strip, such as for example leather, textile, plastic, nylon, ... or a rigid and modulable band and / or deformable, such as metal, articulated metal, aluminum, rigid plastic, etc., the materials used being limited. It may further comprise a band in a combination of the two kinds of materials: a flexible part and a rigid part.
  • the device according to the invention is provided with fastening means (2) for a shoe (4), close to the knot (8) and / or loops (5) of the lace (3).
  • This device further comprises mutual fixing means (6, 7) (staples, self-gripping means, pressure buttons, as well as any other kind of closures possible in a non-limiting manner), for its holding in closed position (illustrated in FIG. Fig. 2 ).
  • the strip 1 comprises a central portion 11 and two ends 12 and 13. Under the assumption of the 'self-gripping' system, one end 12 of the strip 1 comprises looped fibers 6, while the other end is provided with hooks 7 coming to grip in the looped fibers. This makes it possible to obtain a sleeve-type folding that traps said loops 5.
  • the band 1 can be brought into a plane state (open position) as visible at the figure 1 , or in a folded state (closed position) as visible in figure 2 .
  • the device according to the invention 1 can be made of any material, in particular leather, faux leather (imitation), textile, nylon, flexible plastic and / or rigid, articulated metal, aluminum, and all other non-limiting materials.
  • the device according to the invention has a length of between 5 cm and 10 cm, and more particularly about 6.5 cm and a width of between 1 cm and 5 cm, preferably about 2 cm or about 4.5 cm. according to the models.
  • the material will be chosen according to the targeted use and / or the desired aesthetic effect, so that it may be of texture or color identical or different from those of the tongue 9 of the shoe 4 itself, even if the band 1 is incorporated in the tongue 9 of the shoe (4).
  • It may include decorative motifs, logos, advertising, etc., especially when seeking an aesthetic effect, promotional, advertising or other, or to obtain an effect for singling or identifying shoes.
  • the band 1 can be made of articulated metal in the manner of bracelets to obtain a luxurious appearance, consistent with the character of some high-end shoes.
  • the band can pass from a flat position, that is to say from its open position ( Fig. 1 ) to a folded position, ie to its closed position ( Fig. 2 ), and conversely, without any difficulty and that this operation can be renewed, without considerable risk of deterioration.
  • the band 1 is made in the form of a piece of cut leather having substantially the appearance of a rectangular strip in which have been cut two orifices (2) of symmetrical shape.
  • this band 1 is in fact hooked to the lace 3 of the boot 4 by simply passing the two strands of the lace 3 in one and the other of the two orifices (2) of the band, during the lacing.
  • the band 1 is directly attached to the shoe 4 and / or the tongue 9 of the article of footwear 4 by means of the lace 3 and comprises, for this purpose, fixing means, in particular the orifices 2 receiving each of the two strands of the lace.
  • This first embodiment is more particularly intended to equip footwear already marketed, since the band 1 is autonomous and can be easily associated with the lace 3 of a shoe 4, without the need to make any modification or accessory to these footwear items 4 of commerce.
  • the band 1 not on the lace 3, but directly on the rod 14 of the footwear 4, for example on the quarter external, near the last eyelet located at the top of the rod 14, or on the side of the rod 14, just below the opening of the footwear 4 for receiving the foot, or near the last eyelet, to serve as both an anti-delageing device and a means of promotion and / or advertising (for example with logos, decorative motifs, special forms ... not limiting).
  • the band 1 can be fixed permanently by stitching or removably coupled to the rod for example by stapling, self-gripping or snaps (not shown).
  • the band 1 is directly attached to the tongue 9 of the article of footwear 4, close to the knot 8 and / or the loops 5 of the lace 3, this fastening being definable (sewn, stapled, etc.). or removable (pressure buttons, self-gripping means, hooks, etc .... not limiting).
  • the band 1 is fixed near the node 8 of the lace 3 so as to act as an anti-delamination device, after winding on the loops 5 of the lace 3.
  • FIGS. Figures 6, 7, 8, 9 Various embodiments of the orifices 2 are illustrated in FIGS. Figures 6, 7, 8, 9 .
  • the figure 6 illustrates a band 1 comprising 4 substantially circular orifices 2 distributed symmetrically on the central portion 11.
  • the laces 3 can be threaded into these orifices 2 from left to right or vice versa, but also in the form of a cross.
  • the figure 7 illustrates a strip 1 comprising 4 orifices 2, two of which are substantially circular and situated on either side of the two other slot-shaped ones symmetrically distributed over the central portion 11.
  • the laces 3 can be threaded into these orifices 2 of left to right or vice versa ( Fig 7a ), but also in the shape of a cross ( Fig 7b ).
  • the figure 8 illustrates a strip 1 comprising twice the illustrated pattern of the orifices at the figure 7 .
  • the laces 3 can be threaded into these orifices 2 from left to right or vice versa ( Fig 8a ), but also in the shape of a cross ( Fig 8b ).
  • the figure 9 illustrates a band 1 comprising two holes 2 in the form of a slot. This embodiment is particularly suitable for threading the laces 3 crosswise.
  • the strip 1 is entirely or partially cut out, and therefore completely or partially integrated ( Fig. 10 ) in the tongue 9 of the article of footwear 4.
  • the central portion 11 of the band 1 forming an integral part of the tongue 9, and thus being fixed.
  • Both ends 12 and 13 comprise the attachment means 6 and 7, ends 12, 13 which can be detached ( figure 11 ) of the tongue 9.
  • the cut ends 12, 13 are not necessarily cut through all the layers of material constituting said tongue 9 of the boot 4. For example, the last layer (inside of the boot) is not not started by the cutting and therefore, it provides 10 a higher resistance to the tongue of the shoe.
  • the two ends 12, 13 of the band 1 with the mutual fixing means 6, 7 can therefore be folded into a sheath shape ( Fig. 12 ) to maintain the loops 5 of the lace 3 as long as the lace 3 has been passed through the lace holes (2).
  • One end 12,13 of this band 1 can be fixedly attached (sewn on or forming part of the article of footwear 4) or in a removable manner (with hooks, self-gripping means, snap buttons, etc.) to the footwear.
  • the other end 13,12 may be attached and / or hung on the other side of the article of footwear by means of a hook (s), self-gripping means, pressure buttons, etc.
  • the ends are positioned and / or fastened on each side of the kick, below or between the eyelets through which the lace 3 passes, and at the height of the node 8 and / or loops 5.
  • this device can be done during the production of the article of footwear (4), or can even be applied to shoes 4 already marketed by adding fastening means (hooks, snaps, Velcro etc.) that are to be placed on the article of footwear 4, for example by stapling, perforating, attaching, etc., which are not limiting, these fastening means.
  • fastening means hooks, snaps, Velcro etc.
  • This last embodiment can be extended by adding small pockets, with or without closure, to contain for example one or keys, one or chips used during, among other sports events (marathons ).
  • These pockets can be on the ends of the support, on or next to the band 1.
  • Rigid reinforcement may be provided to or integrated in the support to ensure the stability of said support.
