Definitions

  • the invention relates to a boot for cross-country skiing.
  • Such shoes can be used in areas such as cross-country skiing.
  • a shoe may comprise a high stem, that is to say which has a low portion and a high portion.
  • the lower portion covers the foot, and the upper portion surrounds the ankle of a user.
  • Some shoes are additionally provided with a collar that extends in part at least at the level of the upper portion. Generally the collar covers the upper portion, and is connected to the rest of the stem by a transverse joint.
  • the collar is used to provide transverse flexural strength.
  • the collar is opposed to a lateral inclination of the leg, which avoids certain injuries of the ankle.
  • the collar follows the movements of flexion or extension of the foot relative to the lower leg.
  • the collar flips freely according to its articulation, to approach or move away from the heel. This allows the user to push longitudinally and alternately with the legs.
  • the shoe generally comprises an elastic means which opposes an inclination of the collar towards the heel.
  • the elastic means is constrained.
  • the latter solicits the collar in a sense of distance from the heel, that is to say in a direction of flexion of the foot to the lower leg.
  • the consequence is to facilitate a lifting movement of the ski spatula. As a result, it takes less effort to bring the ski forward.
  • the energy accumulated by the elastic means, in a thrust phase with the leg is restored in a return phase of the ski forward.
  • the return assistance of the ski is not always adapted to the needs of the user.
  • the latter has indeed its own characteristics, such as size, weight, level of practice, or other.
  • the intensity of the stress exerted by the elastic means is not always perfectly adapted to the user.
  • the invention is particularly intended to make a shoe more versatile, that is to say, not or little specialized. This means that the invention wants to allow different practices, especially in driving styles, with the same shoe.
  • the invention also seeks to better adapt the behavior of a shoe to a given user, for a given driving style.
  • the invention provides a shoe comprising a sole and a upper, the shoe extending in length from a heel to a front end, in width between a lateral portion and a medial portion, and in height from the sole to an upper end, the stem comprising a lower portion, an upper portion, and a collar that extends at least partially at the level of the upper portion, the collar being connected to the rest of the stem by a transverse joint, the shoe comprising an elastic means which opposes an inclination of the collar towards the heel.
  • the shoe according to the invention is characterized in that it comprises means for releasably securing the elastic means to the rest of the rod.
  • the elastic means is secured to the rest of the rod in a reversible manner.
  • the user can wear the same shoe, which is provided or not with an elastic means. This is to say that it is possible to change the behavior of the shoe.
  • the same shoe can be adapted to several driving styles.
  • the shoe can be adapted to the needs of the user. This offers a better comfort of use, and reduces the budget necessary for several practices.
  • a cross-country ski boot 1 is provided to accommodate the user's foot.
  • the shoe 1 comprises a tread 2 and a shank 3.
  • the shoe 1 extends in length from a rear end or heel 4 to a front end or tip 5, and in width between a side portion 6 and a medial part 7.
  • the rod 3 comprises a lower portion 10, provided to surround the foot, and a high portion 11, provided to surround the ankle.
  • the boot 1 extends in height from the sole 2 to an upper end 12, that is to say up to the free end of the portion 11 or the rod 3 .
  • the shoe 1 is structured to allow a good flexion of the leg or a smooth running of the foot, as well as the transmission of sensory information or driving impulses. This is why the rod 3 is relatively flexible.
  • the sole can be relatively rigid or more flexible.
  • the shoe 1 further comprises a collar 13 which extends in part at least at the level of the upper portion, as is understood using the figures 1 and 2 .
  • the collar 13 comprises for example a lateral branch 14, a medial branch 15, and a bridge 16 which connects the branches 14, 15 to one another.
  • the bridge 16 is located at the height of the heel 4, that is to say towards the rear of the rod 3 or the upper portion 11. However it could have been placed in front of the upper portion.
  • the bridge 16 comprises, in a nonlimiting manner, a lower arch 17 and an upper arch 18, which brings both high mechanical rigidity and lightness to the collar 13.
  • the lateral branch 14, the medial branch 15 and the bridge 16 form a single piece. This includes for example a plastic material or any equivalent material.
  • the collar 13 further comprises a strap 19 which extends the bridge 16 to surround the upper portion 11 and the lower leg of the user.
  • the strap 19 can be tightened, loosened or opened by any means known to those skilled in the art.
  • the collar 13 is connected to the rest of the rod by a transverse articulation axis 23.
  • the collar 13 can pivot towards the heel 4 or towards the front end 5.
  • the articulation is made by any known technique, as can be seen in part on the figure 4 .
  • the articulation comprises, on the side of the lateral part 6, a pivot 24. This is a part of revolution which comprises a body 25 and a head 26. At the opposite of the head 26, the body 25 is structured to to be secured to the side portion 6 of the rod 3.
  • the body 25 has a free end 27 split and shouldered.
  • the lateral branch 14 of the collar 13 has an orifice 29 intended to be traversed by the body 25 of the pivot 24. This is why the lateral branch 14 pivots along the transverse axis 23. A similar arrangement is provided on the medial side, for the branch 15. Finally the collar pivots along the axis 23.
  • the transverse articulation axis 23 comprises a lateral pivot 24 and a medial pivot, one being coaxial with the other, and that this same articulation has an orifice 29 formed in the lateral branch 14 and a non-referenced orifice formed in the medial branch 15.
  • the lateral and medial pivots may not be coaxial. However, their alignment facilitates the rotation of the collar 13.
  • the joint is located towards the ankle, that is to say towards the boundary between the low and high portions 11, so that the collar 13 accompanies the movement of flexion or extension of the foot relative to the bottom of the leg.
  • the collar 13 keeps the lower leg transversely relative to the foot, especially when the strap 19 is tightened.
  • the one-piece piece of the collar 13 is more rigid than the rest of the rod, in this case more rigid than the lateral part 6 and the medial part 7.
  • the shoe 1 further comprises an elastic means 30, which opposes an inclination of the collar 13 towards the heel 4.
  • the elastic means 30 comprises a lower arch 31 and an upper arch 32 connected to each other at a vertex 33.
  • the latter has a lateral subdivision 34 and a medial subdivision 35.
  • Each arch 31, 32 is provided to bypass the heel 4 above the sole 2.
  • the arches 31, 32 are extended at each other at the subdivisions 34, 35, so that the elastic means forms a single piece. This includes for example a plastic material.
  • the elastic means 30 In the state of rest, the elastic means 30 has the appearance of an open mouth.
  • the boot 1 comprises means for releasably securing the elastic means 30 to the rest of the rod.
  • This allows to associate the elastic means 30 to the rest of the rod reversibly.
  • the user can choose whether or not to use the elastic means 30 and, when using it, can select it from a range of elastic means different stiffnesses. The user can therefore determine some of the characteristics of the shoe. This allows in particular to adapt the shoe to a driving style.
  • the removable fastening means use a joint.
  • This uses the same transverse axis 23 as the articulation of the collar 13.
  • the articulation of the collar 13 and the articulation of the removable fastening means are coaxial.
  • the lateral and medial pivots 24 are common to both joints. This arrangement simplifies the structure of the shoe 1, which reduces manufacturing costs.
  • it may alternatively be considered to shift the joints relative to each other, that is to say to organize them according to two separate axes, parallel to each other or not.
  • the articulation of the removable fastening means comprises the lateral pivot 24 and the medial pivot.
  • Each pivot 24 has a length sufficient to guide, in rotation, both the collar 13 and the elastic means 30.
  • the articulation of the removable means has a lateral orifice 36 formed in the lateral subdivision 34 of the vertex 33 and a medial orifice 37 formed in the medial subdivision 35 of the crown.
  • the lateral orifice 36 is in the form of a circular hole 38 extended towards the arches 31, 32 by a slot 39.
  • the width of the slot 39 is smaller than the diameter of the hole 38.
  • medial orifice 37 is in the form of a circular hole 40 extended towards the arches 31, 32 by a slot 41.
  • the width of the slot 41 is smaller than the diameter of the hole 40.
  • the upper portion 11 of the rod 3 occupies a natural position. This corresponds to an orthostatic position of the user's leg.
  • the collar 13 is not inclined towards the heel 4 or towards the front end 5.
  • the rod 3 comprises a rear stop 50, at the level of the heel 4.
  • the stop made for example by extension of material of the heel, supports if necessary the lower arch 31 of the elastic means 30.
  • the upper arch 32 for its part, bears on the collar 13. In fact the upper arch bears on the bridge 16 of the collar, by example at its lower arch 17.
  • the upper arch 32 of the elastic means 30 partially bypasses the lower arch 17 of the bridge 16 of the collar 13.
  • the upper arch 32 of the elastic means 30 cooperates with the collar 13 by friction.
  • an inclination according to the arrow d towards the heel 4, of the upper portion 11, induces the inclination of the collar 13, also towards the heel 4.
  • This inclination corresponds to a bending towards the rear of the upper portion 11, in correlation with an extension of the foot compared to the lower leg.
  • the collar 13 could have a more regular shape.
  • the attachment means of the elastic means could employ removable pivots, or any equivalent.
