The tangent plane has an angle, which is equal to 90[deg]. The closing device further comprises a cable and a strap, which are mounted on the swiveling lever and the buckles are fixed at different ends of the cable and the strap. The buckles are maintained by a clamp that comprises a slide (10) cooperated with a chute that is spared to the shoe side. An independent claim is included for a sport shoe, which is equipped with a closing device.

Description

La présente invention concerne les dispositifs de fermeture d'une chaussure de sport. Notamment, l'invention concerne les dispositifs de fermeture d'une chaussure de ski.The present invention relates to closing devices of a sports shoe. In particular, the invention relates to the closing devices of a ski boot.

Il est connu dans l'art antérieur d'utiliser des dispositifs de fermeture permettant de générer une force importante. De tels dispositifs sont appelés crochets de fermeture. Le document EP 1 142 497 A1 décrit une chaussure de ski équipée de quatre de ces crochets. Les crochets sont tous sensiblement similaires, ils comprennent une embase fixée sur la coque sur laquelle est monté pivotant un levier. L'axe d'articulation du levier sur l'embase est parallèle à la coque. Un tirant est monté pivotant par l'une de ses extrémités sur le levier et est relié à une boucle par l'autre de ses extrémités. La boucle est prévue pour venir en prise avec une crémaillère. Deux des crochets sont placés dans la partie haute de la chaussure et ils sont disposés de telle façon qu'ils exercent leur effort de fermeture dans un plan de serrage qui est sensiblement horizontal. Dans ce cas l'axe d'articulation du levier est orienté sensiblement verticalement et la manipulation du crochet qui se fait par le basculement du levier nécessite un mouvement circulaire exercé dans un plan horizontal. Il est très difficile pour un utilisateur d'effectuer un tel mouvement tout en exerçant une force importante.It is known in the prior art to use closure devices to generate a large force. Such devices are called closing hooks. The document EP 1 142 497 A1 describes a ski boot equipped with four of these hooks. The hooks are all substantially similar, they include a base attached to the hull on which is pivoted a lever. The axis of articulation of the lever on the base is parallel to the hull. A tie rod is pivotally mounted at one of its ends on the lever and is connected to a loop by the other of its ends. The loop is intended to engage with a rack. Two of the hooks are placed in the upper part of the boot and they are arranged in such a way that they exert their closing force in a clamping plane which is substantially horizontal. In this case the axis of articulation of the lever is oriented substantially vertically and the manipulation of the hook which is done by the tilting of the lever requires a circular movement exerted in a horizontal plane. It is very difficult for a user to perform such a movement while exerting a significant force.

La présente invention a pour objectif de fournir un dispositif de fermeture qui permette de s'affranchir des limitations posées par les dispositifs connus dans l'art antérieur. Notamment, l'invention a pour objectif de fournir un dispositif de fermeture dont l'ergonomie d'utilisation est améliorée.The present invention aims to provide a closure device that allows to overcome the limitations posed by the devices known in the prior art. In particular, the invention aims to provide a closure device whose ergonomics of use is improved.

L'invention a également pour objectif de fournir une chaussure de sport équipée d'au moins un dispositif de fermeture qui permet à l'utilisateur d'exercer une force de serrage maximale tout en lui garantissant une position ergonomique.The invention also aims to provide a sports shoe equipped with at least one closure device that allows the user to exert maximum clamping force while ensuring an ergonomic position.

L'objectif de l'invention est obtenu par la fourniture d'un dispositif de fermeture destiné à rapprocher deux pans d'une chaussure de sport comportant d'une part un levier monté pivotant autour d'un premier axe d'articulation par rapport au premier desdits pans et agissant sur un élément d'accroche et d'autre part un élément d'ancrage fixé sur le deuxième desdits pans, ledit élément d'accroche et ledit élément d'ancrage étant prévu pour venir en prise l'un avec l'autre, le premier axe d'articulation étant orienté dans une direction qui n'est pas parallèle au plan tangent audit premier pan dans la zone de montage dudit levier.The object of the invention is obtained by providing a closure device for bringing together two sections of a sports boot comprising on the one hand a lever pivoted about a first axis of articulation relative to the first of said panels and acting on an attachment element and on the other hand an anchoring element fixed on the second of said panels, said attachment element and said anchoring element being designed to engage one with the other. the other, the first axis of articulation being oriented in a direction which is not parallel to the plane tangent to said first part in the mounting area of said lever.

De préférence, le premier axe d'articulation est orienté dans une direction faisant avec le plan tangent audit premier pan dans la zone de montage du levier, un angle compris entre 45° et 90°.Preferably, the first hinge axis is oriented in a direction making with the plane tangent to said first pan in the lever mounting area, an angle between 45 ° and 90 °.

L'objectif de l'invention est également obtenu par la fourniture d'une chaussure de sport comportant au moins deux pans et équipée d'au moins un dispositif de fermeture destiné à rapprocher lesdits deux pans de la chaussure et comportant d'une part un levier monté pivotant autour d'un premier axe d'articulation par rapport au premier desdits pans et agissant sur un élément d'accroche et d'autre part un élément d'ancrage fixé sur le deuxième desdits pans, ledit élément d'accroche et ledit élément d'ancrage étant prévu pour venir en prise l'un avec l'autre, caractérisé en ce que le premier axe d'articulation est orienté dans une direction qui n'est pas parallèle au plan tangent audit premier pan dans la zone de montage dudit levier.The object of the invention is also obtained by the provision of a sports shoe comprising at least two sides and equipped with at least one closure device intended to bring said two parts of the shoe together and comprising on the one hand a lever mounted pivoting about a first axis of articulation relative to the first of said panels and acting on a fastening element and secondly an anchoring element fixed on the second of said said hooking member and said anchoring member being adapted to engage one with the other, characterized in that the first hinge axis is oriented in a direction which is not parallel to the plane tangent to said first pan in the mounting area of said lever.

De préférence, le dispositif de fermeture est disposé sur la chaussure de façon à ce que le plan de serrage soit horizontal et des moyens de maintien de l'élément d'accroche dans ledit plan de serrage sont prévus.Preferably, the closure device is disposed on the boot so that the clamping plane is horizontal and means for holding the fastening element in said clamping plane are provided.

La figure 1 montre une chaussure de sport équipée de dispositifs de fermeture selon l'art antérieur. Il s'agit en l'occurrence d'une chaussure de ski comportant quatre dispositifs de fermeture à crochet et une sangle de serrage bas-de-jambe. La chaussure de ski, comprend une coque rigide constituée d'un bas-de-coque et d'un collier. Les dispositifs de fermeture sont quasiment identiques les uns aux autres et comprennent une embase sur laquelle est monté pivotant un levier. L'axe d'articulation du levier sur l'embase est, pour chacun des crochets, parallèle au plan tangent à la coque de la chaussure, à l'endroit de fixation de l'embase sur celle-ci. En d'autres termes, on pourrait dire, que le premier axe d'articulation est parallèle à la coque de la chaussure, à l'endroit de fixation de l'embase sur celle-ci. Pour les crochets qui sont placés sur le bas-de-coque, l'axe d'articulation des crochets est sensiblement horizontal. Une telle disposition est bonne d'un point de vue ergonomique dans la mesure où l'utilisateur doit faire un mouvement de haut en bas pour fermer le crochet et un mouvement de bas en haut pour l'ouvrir. En revanche, pour les crochets placés sur le collier, ils sont disposés de telle façon que leur plan de serrage soit sensiblement horizontal et l'axe d'articulation du levier y est orienté sensiblement verticalement. Ceci signifie que le mouvement que doit effectuer l'utilisateur pour fermer le crochet est un mouvement de rotation inscrit dans un plan horizontal. Un tel mouvement est très mauvais ergonomiquement.Figure 1 shows a sports shoe equipped with closure devices according to the prior art. This is a ski boot with four hook closure devices and a lower leg strap. The ski boot, comprises a rigid shell consisting of a bottom-of-shell and a necklace. The closing devices are almost identical to each other and comprise a base on which is pivotally mounted a lever. The axis of articulation of the lever on the base is, for each of the hooks, parallel to the plane tangent to the shell of the shoe, at the mounting location of the base thereon. In other words, it could be said that the first axis of articulation is parallel to the shell of the boot, at the location of attachment of the base thereon. For the hooks which are placed on the bottom-of-shell, the axis of articulation of the hooks is substantially horizontal. Such an arrangement is good from an ergonomic point of view insofar as the user must make a movement from top to bottom to close the hook and a movement from bottom to top to open it. In contrast, for the hooks placed on the collar, they are arranged so that their clamping plane is substantially horizontal and the hinge axis of the lever is oriented substantially vertically. This means that the movement that the user must make to close the hook is a movement of rotation inscribed in a horizontal plane. Such a movement is very bad ergonomically.

La figure 2 montre un dispositif de fermeture selon un premier mode de réalisation de l'invention, en position ouverte. Le dispositif de fermeture comprend une embase 3, fixée sur un premier pan 1 d'une chaussure grâce à deux rivets 4. De préférence, l'embase 3 est disposée de telle façon que l'action du dispositif de fermeture s'effectue dans un plan de serrage qui est horizontal. Bien entendu on pourra envisager toute autre disposition. De même que la fixation de l'embase 3 sur le premier pan 1 peut être faite par tout autre moyen que des rivets, comme par exemple, des vis. D'autre part, dans un mode de réalisation altematif de l'invention, non décrit sur les figures, l'embase est intégrée au pan de la chaussure, c'est-à-dire que le levier est directement monté pivotant sur le premier pan 1.Figure 2 shows a closure device according to a first embodiment of the invention, in the open position. The closure device comprises a base 3, fixed on a first leg 1 of a shoe by means of two rivets 4. Preferably, the base 3 is arranged in such a way that the action of the closure device is effected in a clamping plane that is horizontal. Of course we can consider any other provision. As the fixing of the base 3 on the first pan 1 can be made by any means other than rivets, such as screws. On the other hand, in an alternative embodiment of the invention, not described in the figures, the base is integrated in the pan of the shoe, that is to say that the lever is directly pivoted on the first pan 1.

Un levier 5 est monté pivotant sur l'embase 3 autour d'un premier axe d'articulation 6 de façon à pouvoir faire un demi tour autour de ce premier axe d'articulation 6. La rotation du levier 5 est limitée dans une des directions par la butée 7.A lever 5 is pivotally mounted on the base 3 around a first hinge axis 6 so as to be able to make a half turn around this first hinge axis 6. The rotation of the lever 5 is limited in one of the directions by the stop 7.

Le premier axe d'articulation 6 n'est pas parallèle au plan tangent au premier pan 1 à l'endroit de montage du levier 5 sur l'embase 3. En fait, il y est sensiblement perpendiculaire.The first hinge axis 6 is not parallel to the plane tangent to the first panel 1 at the mounting location of the lever 5 on the base 3. In fact, there is substantially perpendicular.

Un câble 9 est fixé, au niveau de la première de ses extrémités, sur le levier 5 avec la possibilité de pivoter autour d'un deuxième axe d'articulation 8. Des moyens de maintien de l'élément d'accroche dans un plan de serrage sont fixés à la deuxième extrémité du câble 9. Ces moyens de maintien comprennent un coulisseau 10 coopérant avec une glissière 11.A cable 9 is fixed, at the first of its ends, on the lever 5 with the possibility of pivoting about a second hinge axis 8. Means for holding the fastening element in a plane of These clamping means comprise a slide 10 cooperating with a slide 11.

Le coulisseau 10 comprend un corps principal et un plot 13, prévu pour se déplacer dans une glissière 11. L'extrémité du plot a une dimension plus importante que la glissière 11 de façon à ce qu'il y soit maintenu grâce à un épaulement ménagée dans cette dernière.The slider 10 comprises a main body and a stud 13, designed to move in a slide 11. The end of the stud has a greater dimension than the slide 11 so that it is held there by a shoulder arranged in the latter.

Un élément d'accroche constitué par une boucle 12 est fixée sur le coulisseau 10 sur le coté opposé à celui où est fixé le câble 9. La boucle 12 est prévue pour venir en prise avec un élément d'ancrage constitué par une crémaillère 14, laquelle est fixée sur un deuxième pan 2 de la chaussure.A fastening element consisting of a loop 12 is fixed on the slider 10 on the opposite side to the one where the cable 9 is fixed. The buckle 12 is designed to engage with an anchoring element consisting of a rack 14, which is attached to a second pan 2 of the shoe.

Bien entendu le fait que l'élément d'accroche soit constitué dans ce mode de réalisation par une boucle et que l'élément d'ancrage soit constitué par une crémaillère ne sont des caractéristiques limitatives, et on pourra remplacer boucle et/ou crémaillère par des éléments équivalents.Of course the fact that the fastening element is constituted in this embodiment by a loop and that the anchor element is constituted by a rack are limiting characteristics, and can be replaced loop and / or rack by equivalent elements.

La présence du coulisseau 10 et de la glissière 11 assure le positionnement de l'élément d'accroche, même lorsque celle-ci n'est pas en prise avec l'élément d'ancrage. Ceci est particulièrement intéressant lorsque l'action du dispositif de fermeture s'effectue dans un plan horizontal.The presence of the slider 10 and the slide 11 ensures the positioning of the attachment element, even when it is not in engagement with the anchoring element. This is particularly interesting when the action of the closing device is carried out in a horizontal plane.

Les moyens de maintien de l'élément d'accroche peuvent également se présenter sous la forme d'un passant fixé sur le premier pan et à travers duquel passe le câble.The holding means of the attachment element may also be in the form of a loop fixed on the first panel and through which the cable passes.

Les figures 3 et 4 montrent le dispositif de fermeture de la figure 1, en position fermée. Le levier 5 a fait un demi tour et vient en appui contre la butée 7. Le mouvement du levier 5 a généré une translation du deuxième pan 2 par rapport au premier pan 1.Figures 3 and 4 show the closure device of Figure 1, in the closed position. The lever 5 is half a turn and abuts against the stop 7. The movement of the lever 5 has generated a translation of the second panel 2 relative to the first panel 1.

Lors de la phase de manoeuvre du levier 5, les efforts les plus importants à fournir par l'utilisateur sont ceux qui interviennent à la fin de la trajectoire circulaire du levier 5. Compte tenu de la disposition horizontale du dispositif de fermeture, la fin de la trajectoire du levier 5 demande à l'utilisateur d'effectuer ses efforts suivant une direction D principalement verticale. Dans cette direction, l'utilisateur bénéficie d'une force maximale, car il agit selon une direction qui lui est ergonomique. C'est la même chose lorsqu'il s'agit d'ouvrir le dispositif de fermeture. L'effort maximal que devra fournir l'utilisateur se fera également selon une direction verticale.During the operation phase of the lever 5, the most important efforts to be provided by the user are those that occur at the end of the circular trajectory of the lever 5. Given the horizontal disposition of the closing device, the end of the trajectory of the lever 5 requires the user to perform his efforts in a predominantly vertical direction D. In this direction, the user enjoys maximum strength, because it acts in a direction that is ergonomic. It's the same thing when it comes to opening the closing device. The maximum effort to be provided by the user will also be in a vertical direction.

Les figures 5 et 6 décrivent une chaussure de ski équipée de dispositifs de fermeture selon un deuxième et un troisième mode de réalisation de l'invention. La chaussure 15 comprend un bas-de-coque 16 et un collier 17. Le bas-de-coque est fermé par deux dispositifs de fermeture conforme à l'art antérieur, lesquels ne seront pas décrits plus en détails dans cette demande.Figures 5 and 6 describe a ski boot equipped with closure devices according to a second and a third embodiment of the invention. The shoe 15 comprises a lower shell 16 and a collar 17. The bottom shell is closed by two closure devices according to the prior art, which will not be described in more detail in this application.

Le collier 17 est fixé sur le bas-de-coque 16 et dispose de trois moyens de fermeture, à savoir deux dispositifs de fermeture selon l'invention et d'une sangle bas-de-jambe 24 positionnée au sommet de la chaussure 15. Les deux dispositifs de fermeture selon l'invention seront appelés dans la suite de cette description, le dispositif supérieur 18 et le dispositif inférieur 19.The collar 17 is fixed on the lower shell 16 and has three closure means, namely two closure devices according to the invention and a lower leg strap 24 positioned at the top of the shoe 15. The two closure devices according to the invention will be called later in this description, the upper device 18 and the lower device 19.

Le dispositif supérieur 18, qui constitue un deuxième mode de réalisation de l'invention, comprend une embase 31, fixée sur un premier pan 1 du collier. Un levier supérieur 51 est monté pivotant sur l'embase 31 autour d'un premier axe d'articulation de façon à pouvoir faire un demi tour autour de ce premier axe d'articulation. Dans ce mode de réalisation, on appellera ce premier axe d'articulation, l'axe supérieur 61. La rotation du levier 51 est limitée dans une des directions par la butée 7.The upper device 18, which constitutes a second embodiment of the invention, comprises a base 31, fixed on a first side 1 of the collar. An upper lever 51 is pivotally mounted on the base 31 around a first axis of articulation so as to be able to make a half turn around this first axis of articulation. In this embodiment, this first hinge axis is called the upper axis 61. The rotation of the lever 51 is limited in one of the directions by the stop 7.

Une bande supérieure 21 est fixée, au niveau de la première de ses extrémités, sur le levier 51 avec la possibilité de pivoter autour d'un deuxième axe d'articulation 8, lequel est sensiblement parallèle à l'axe supérieur 61. Un coulisseau 10 est fixé à la deuxième extrémité de la bande 21.An upper band 21 is fixed, at the first of its ends, on the lever 51 with the possibility of pivoting about a second hinge axis 8, which is substantially parallel to the upper axis 61. A slider 10 is attached to the second end of the band 21.

Comme dans le mode de réalisation précédent le coulisseau 10 comprend un plot 13, prévu pour se déplacer dans une glissière 11. Un crochet 23 est fixé sur le coulisseau 10 sur le côté opposé à celui où est fixée la bande supérieure 21. Le crochet 23 est prévu pour venir en prise avec une crémaillère 14, laquelle est fixée sur un deuxième pan 2 du collier.As in the previous embodiment the slider 10 comprises a stud 13, designed to move in a slide 11. A hook 23 is fixed on the slider 10 on the opposite side to the one where the upper band 21 is fixed. The hook 23 is provided to engage with a rack 14, which is fixed on a second pan 2 of the collar.

Le dispositif inférieur 19, qui constitue un troisième mode de réalisation de l'invention, comprend une embase 32, fixée sur un premier pan 1 du collier. Un levier inférieur 52 est monté pivotant sur l'embase 32 autour d'un premier axe d'articulation de façon à pouvoir faire un demi-tour autour de ce premier axe d'articulation. Dans ce mode de réalisation, on appellera ce premier axe d'articulation, l'axe inférieur 62. La rotation du levier 52 est limitée dans une des directions par la butée 7.The lower device 19, which constitutes a third embodiment of the invention, comprises a base 32, fixed on a first side 1 of the collar. A lower lever 52 is pivotally mounted on the base 32 around a first axis of articulation so as to be able to turn around this first axis of articulation. In this embodiment, will call this first axis of articulation, the lower axis 62. The rotation of the lever 52 is limited in one of the directions by the stop 7.

Une bande inférieure 22 est fixée, au niveau de la première de ses extrémités, sur le levier 52 avec la possibilité de pivoter autour d'un deuxième axe d'articulation 8. Un coulisseau 10 est fixé à la deuxième extrémité de la bande inférieure 22.A lower band 22 is fixed at the first of its ends to the lever 52 with the possibility of pivoting about a second hinge axis 8. A slider 10 is attached to the second end of the lower band 22 .

Comme dans le mode de réalisation précédent le coulisseau 10 comprend un plot 13, prévu pour se déplacer dans une glissière 11. Un crochet 23 est fixé sur le coulisseau 10 sur le côté opposé à celui où est fixée la bande inférieure 22. Le crochet 23 est prévu pour venir en prise avec une crémaillère 14, laquelle est fixée sur un deuxième pan 2 du collier.As in the previous embodiment the slider 10 comprises a stud 13, designed to move in a slide 11. A hook 23 is fixed on the slider 10 on the opposite side to that where the lower strip 22 is fixed. The hook 23 is provided to engage with a rack 14, which is fixed on a second pan 2 of the collar.

La figure 7 représente une vue en coupe schématique du collier suivant un plan vertical passant l'axe d'articulation inférieur 61 et l'axe d'articulation supérieur 62. On peut y voir que l'axe d'articulation supérieur 61 est orienté selon une direction faisant avec le plan tangent au premier pan 1 un angle a sensiblement égal à 90°. Ce qui a pour conséquence que le mouvement du levier supérieur 51 se fait dans un plan P1 qui est sensiblement parallèle au plan tangent au premier pan 1 à l'endroit de montage du levier supérieur 51.FIG. 7 represents a schematic sectional view of the collar in a vertical plane passing through the lower hinge axis 61 and the upper hinge axis 62. It can be seen that the hinge pin 61 is oriented according to a direction making with the plane tangent to the first pan 1 an angle substantially equal to 90 °. This has the consequence that the movement of the upper lever 51 is in a plane P1 which is substantially parallel to the plane tangent to the first panel 1 at the mounting location of the upper lever 51.

L'axe d'articulation inférieur 62 fait, avec le plan tangent au premier pan 1, un angle β, qui n'est pas sensiblement égal à 90°. Ce qui a pour conséquence que le mouvement du levier inférieur 52 se fait dans un plan P2 qui est sécant avec le plan tangent au premier pan 1. L'angle β est choisi de telle façon que le levier inférieur 52 ne soit pas gêné dans son mouvement par le levier supérieur 51. En pratique, l'angle β est inférieur à 45°.The lower hinge axis 62 is, with the plane tangent to the first panel 1, an angle β, which is not substantially equal to 90 °. This has the consequence that the movement of the lower lever 52 is in a plane P2 which is secant with the tangent plane to the first pan 1. The angle β is chosen such that the lower lever 52 is not obstructed in its movement by the upper lever 51. In practice, the angle β is less than 45 °.

La figure 8 décrit une chaussure de ski équipée d'un dispositif de fermeture selon un quatrième mode de réalisation de l'invention. La chaussure 15 comprend un bas-de-coque 16 et un collier 17. Le bas-de-coque est fermé par deux dispositifs de fermeture conforme à l'art antérieur.FIG. 8 describes a ski boot equipped with a closure device according to a fourth embodiment of the invention. The boot 15 comprises a lower shell 16 and a collar 17. The lower shell is closed by two closure devices according to the prior art.

Le collier 17 est fixé sur le bas-de-coque 16 et dispose de deux moyens de fermeture, à savoir un dispositif de fermeture selon l'invention et un dispositif de serrage bas-de-jambe positionné au sommet de la chaussure 15.The collar 17 is fixed on the lower shell 16 and has two closure means, namely a closure device according to the invention and a lower-leg clamping device positioned at the top of the shoe 15.

Le dispositif de serrage bas-de-jambe 24 comprend un lacet 25 et un bloqueur 27, tous deux fixés sur un premier pan 1 du collier 17. Un passant 26 est fixé sur le deuxième pan 2 du collier 17. Pour assurer le serrage, l'utilisateur doit faire passer le lacet 25 dans le passant 26, puis dans le bloqueur 27. Il peut ensuite générer une traction sur le lacet 25 à l'aide de la poignée 28. Un tel dispositif de serrage bas de jambe peut générer une force de serrage bien plus importante qu'une sangle de serrage bas de jambe telle que connue dans l'art antérieur car, entre autre, l'utilisateur l'actionne par une traction verticale et le contact du lacet avec le passant 26 n'occasionne que peu de frottements.The lower leg clamping device 24 comprises a lace 25 and a blocker 27, both of which are fixed on a first side 1 of the collar 17. A loop 26 is fixed on the second side 2 of the collar 17. To ensure the clamping, the user must pass the lace 25 in the loop 26, then in the blocker 27. It can then generate a traction on the lace 25 with the handle 28. Such a lower leg clamp device can generate a much greater clamping force than a lower leg clamping strap as known in the prior art because, inter alia, the user actuates it by a vertical pull and the contact of the lace with the passer 26 does not occure that little friction.

Le dispositif de fermeture selon le quatrième mode de réalisation comprend une embase 3, fixée sur le collier 17. Un levier 5 est monté pivotant sur cette embase 3 autour d'un premier axe d'articulation 6. Le levier est constitué d'une plaque dont l'extrémité est retournée pour pouvoir être utilisé comme palette d'actionnement du levier 5.The closure device according to the fourth embodiment comprises a base 3, fixed on the collar 17. A lever 5 is pivotally mounted on this base 3 around a first hinge axis 6. The lever consists of a plate the end of which is turned over so that it can be used as an operating pallet for the lever 5.

Le premier axe d'articulation 6, est orienté suivant une direction perpendiculaire au premier pan 1 à l'endroit ou l'embase 3 est fixée sur celui-ci.The first hinge axis 6 is oriented in a direction perpendicular to the first panel 1 at the location where the base 3 is fixed thereon.

Un tirant 29 est monté, à la première de ses extrémités, pivotant sur le levier 5 autour d'un deuxième axe d'articulation 8, parallèle au premier axe d'articulation 6. Une boucle 12 est fixée à la deuxième extrémité du tirant 29.A tie rod 29 is mounted, at the first of its ends, pivoting on the lever 5 around a second hinge axis 8, parallel to the first hinge pin 6. A loop 12 is fixed to the second end of the tie rod 29 .

L'utilisation de cette chaussure est particulièrement ergonomique dans la mesure où la manipulation du levier 5 et la traction sur la poignée 28 se font dans un plan vertical. D'autre part, le dispositif de serrage bas-de-jambe étant particulièrement efficace, il peut être suffisant de ne mettre qu'un seul dispositif de fermeture sur le collier.The use of this shoe is particularly ergonomic insofar as the manipulation of the lever 5 and the traction on the handle 28 are in a vertical plane. On the other hand, the lower leg clamping device being particularly effective, it may be sufficient to put only one closure device on the collar.

L'invention ne se limite pas aux quelques modes de réalisation décrit ici à titre d'exemple mais comprend également toute réalisation équivalente.The invention is not limited to the few embodiments described here by way of example but also includes any equivalent embodiment.
