Description

La présente invention concerne une chaussure, en particulier une chaussure de sports, comprenant un dispositif de serrage.The present invention relates to a shoe, in particular a sports shoe, comprising a clamping device.

Une chaussure, et plus particulièrement une chaussure de sports, peut être soumise à des sollicitations mécaniques importantes. Lors de la pratique de sports, tels que le tennis, il est important que la chaussure assure un maintien de la cheville pendant les nombreux déplacements latéraux exigés par ce type de sport. En effet, les chevilles sont fortement sollicitées lors de transfert de masse, suite à des reprises d'appuis.A shoe, and more particularly a sports shoe, can be subjected to significant mechanical stresses. When practicing sports, such as tennis, it is important that the shoe provides ankle support during the many lateral movements required by this type of sport. Indeed, the dowels are strongly solicited during mass transfer, following resumption of support.

Un dispositif de serrage connu est constitué d'un câble passant sur la partie arrière de la chaussure de manière à contourner la cheville et, ainsi, à en épouser la forme. Ce câble de serrage peut être actionné par un disque, placé sur la languette. Une partie de ce type de câble peut également faire office de lacet. Par activation de ce disque, on procède au serrage de la partie arrière de la chaussure contre la cheville et, plus généralement, au serrage de la chaussure sur le pied de l'utilisateur.A known clamping device consists of a cable passing over the rear part of the boot so as to bypass the ankle and, thus, to marry its shape. This clamping cable can be operated by a disc, placed on the tongue. Part of this type of cable can also be used as a lace. By activation of this disc, one proceeds to tighten the rear part of the shoe against the ankle and, more generally, the tightening of the shoe on the foot of the user.

Toutefois, un tel dispositif de serrage exerce une pression contre le tendon d'Achille. Cette pression est essentiellement longitudinale selon un axe défini le long de la chaussure. Des contraintes s'exercent alors sur le tendon d'Achille de sorte que le risque de l'endommager est substantiel.However, such a clamping device exerts pressure against the Achilles tendon. This pressure is essentially longitudinal along a defined axis along the shoe. Constraints are then exerted on the Achilles tendon so that the risk of damaging it is substantial.

Le but de la présente invention est de prévoir un dispositif de serrage exerçant une pression contre le tendon d'Achille très inférieure par rapport à la pression exercée par un dispositif de serrage de l'art antérieur, tout en garantissant un maintien satisfaisant de la cheville lors d'une sollicitation latérale.The object of the present invention is to provide a clamping device exerting a pressure against the Achilles tendon much lower compared to the pressure exerted by a clamping device of the prior art, while ensuring a satisfactory maintenance of the ankle during a lateral solicitation.

A cet effet, l'invention a pour objet une chaussure, en particulier une chaussure de sports, comprenant :

  • un corps avant, propre à recueillir des phalanges d'un pied,
  • un corps arrière, propre à recueillir un talon du pied,
  • un corps latéral intérieur et un corps latéral extérieur reliant le corps avant et le corps arrière,
  • une semelle sur laquelle sont disposés ces corps, la semelle définissant un axe longitudinal,
  • un dispositif de serrage, propre à maintenir le pied dans la chaussure,
caractérisée en ce que le dispositif de serrage est propre à exercer une pression de manière essentiellement latérale sur le corps arrière, selon un axe transversal sensiblement perpendiculaire à l'axe longitudinal,
caractérisée en ce que le dispositif de serrage comprend un organe de serrage et des moyens de pincement du corps arrière, propres à coopérer avec l'organe de serrage, les moyens de pincement comprenant deux organes de pincement distincts disposés latéralement de part et d'autre de l'axe longitudinal, les deux organes étant séparés par une bande médiane appartenant au corps arrière, la bande médiane étant, à la fois, propre à être disposée contre le tendon d'Achille et propre à être pincée par activation de l'organe de serrage.For this purpose, the invention relates to a shoe, in particular a sports shoe, comprising:
  • a front body, capable of collecting knuckles of one foot,
  • a rear body, suitable for collecting a heel of the foot,
  • an inner lateral body and an outer lateral body connecting the front body and the rear body,
  • a sole on which these bodies are arranged, the sole defining a longitudinal axis,
  • a clamping device, adapted to hold the foot in the shoe,
characterized in that the clamping device is adapted to exert a substantially lateral pressure on the rear body, along a transverse axis substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis,
characterized in that the clamping device comprises a clamping member and clamping means of the rear body, adapted to cooperate with the clamping member, the clamping means comprising two separate clamping members arranged laterally on either side of the longitudinal axis, the two members being separated by a median band belonging to the rear body, the median band being at the same time suitable for being placed against the Achilles tendon and capable of being pinched by activation of the organ Clamping.

Grâce à la chaussure selon l'invention, une pression transversale est exercée de part et d'autre de la cheville. Le maintien de la cheville est ainsi assuré sans solliciter de manière excessive le tendon d'Achille.With the shoe according to the invention, a transverse pressure is exerted on both sides of the ankle. The maintenance of the ankle is thus ensured without unduly stressing the Achilles tendon.

La fixation des organes de pincement peut être intégrale de manière à ce que chacun des organes soit solidaire du corps arrière 4 et/ou du corps latéral respectif lorsque ce corps se déforme. Chaque organe de pincement 22, 24 est une coque pouvant être composée en matériau de type TPU (Thermoplastique Polyuréthane).The clamping means 14 comprise two distinct clamping members 22 and 24, arranged on either side of the plane I. At least a portion of the clamping members 22, 24 are fixed on the rear body 4 of the boot 1, a another part that can be secured to the corresponding lateral body 7 or 8. The attachment can be provided by gluing or sewing. Fixing pinch members may be integral so that each of the members is integral with the rear body 4 and / or the respective lateral body when the body is deformed. Each pinch member 22, 24 is a shell that can be made of TPU (Thermoplastic Polyurethane) type material.

Le corps arrière 4 de la chaussure 1 comprend une bande médiane 26, représentée sur la figure 2. La bande médiane 26 est disposée entre les deux organes de pincement 22, 24 et s'étend sensiblement dans le plan I jusqu'à la semelle 8. Ainsi, le pincement de la bande par les organes de pincement 22, 24 est facilité. On notera que, au moins dans sa partie supérieure, la bande médiane 26 a une forme sensiblement en V, en vue de dessus, de sorte qu'elle définit deux ailes 261, 262. A titre d'exemple, cette bande médiane 26 peut comprendre une mousse ou un matériau textile souple, tel que de l'élasthanne.The rear body 4 of the boot 1 comprises a median band 26, represented on the figure 2 . The median strip 26 is disposed between the two gripping members 22, 24 and extends substantially in the plane I to the sole 8. Thus, the nip of the strip by the gripping members 22, 24 is facilitated. It will be noted that, at least in its upper part, the median strip 26 has a substantially V shape, seen from above, so that it defines two wings 26 1 , 26 2 . By way of example, this median strip 26 may comprise a foam or a flexible textile material, such as elastane.

De manière avantageuse, les organes de pincement 22, 24 sont formés d'un matériau d'une dureté bien supérieure à la dureté du matériau de la bande médiane 26. Ainsi, les organes de pincement 22, 24 sont à même de pincer la bande médiane 26, comme on le verra plus en détail dans ce qui suit. Les coques 22 et 24 sont renforcées longitudinalement, à savoir dans la direction de l'axe X-X. Pour ce faire, chacune des coques 22, 24 comprend respectivement une nervure 25, 27 s'étendant sensiblement selon l'axe longitudinal X-X. Chacune des surépaisseurs 25, 27 permet de favoriser une déformation selon un axe sensiblement parallèle à l'axe X-X, tout en limitant une déformation selon un axe perpendiculaire à l'axe X-X dans le plan I. Cela permet de définir une rigidité longitudinale des coques. De plus, les organes de pincement 22, 24 ont également pour fonction de donner une forme propre au corps arrière 4, lui permettant ainsi d'épouser le talon de l'utilisateur.Advantageously, the clamping members 22, 24 are formed of a material of a hardness much greater than the hardness of the material of the median strip 26. Thus, the clamping members 22, 24 are able to pinch the strip median 26, as will be seen in more detail in the following. The shells 22 and 24 are reinforced longitudinally, namely in the direction of the axis XX. To do this, each of the shells 22, 24 respectively comprises a rib 25, 27 extending substantially along the longitudinal axis XX. Each of the extra thicknesses 25, 27 makes it possible to promote a deformation along an axis substantially parallel to the axis XX, while limiting a deformation along an axis perpendicular to the axis XX in the plane I. This makes it possible to define a longitudinal rigidity of the shells . In addition, the pinch members 22, 24 also have the function of giving a shape to the rear body 4, thus allowing him to marry the heel of the user.

Dans une première position, dite d'introduction, représentée sur les figures 1 et 2, le dispositif de serrage n'est pas activé. En d'autres termes, l'organe de serrage 12 n'exerce aucune pression sur les moyens de pincement 14. Ainsi, le pied peut être introduit dans la chaussure 1. Le cou du pied est alors en contact avec une languette 28 de la chaussure 1 et le talon est coiffé par le corps arrière 4 de la chaussure 1.In a first position, called introduction, represented on the Figures 1 and 2 , the clamping device is not activated. In other words, the clamping member 12 exerts no pressure on the clamping means 14. Thus, the foot can be introduced into the shoe 1. The neck of the foot is then in contact with a tongue 28 of the shoe 1 and the heel is capped by the rear body 4 of the shoe 1.

Dans une deuxième position, dite de serrage, représentée sur la figure 3, le dispositif de serrage est activé afin d'assurer le maintien du pied par la chaussure 1. Pour ce faire, l'extrémité libre 18 de la bande 16 est introduite dans le premier anneau. L'extrémité 18 est ensuite ramenée en direction du cou du pied selon la flèche F1. Cette extrémité 18 est alors fixée sur la bande 16 par l'intermédiaire d'une bande auto-agrippante 291, 292.In a second position, called clamping, represented on the figure 3 , the clamping device is activated in order to maintain the foot by the shoe 1. To do this, the free end 18 of the band 16 is introduced into the first ring. The end 18 is then brought towards the neck of the foot according to the arrow F 1 . This end 18 is then fixed on the strip 16 by means of a self-gripping strip 29 1 , 29 2 .

L'extrémité 20 est en outre introduite dans le deuxième anneau. Cette extrémité 20 est ensuite ramenée sur le corps arrière 4 selon la flèche F2. La solidarisation avec le corps arrière 4 peut être à nouveau assurée par une bande auto-agrippante 311, 312. Les deux bandes auto-agrippantes sont de type VELCRO par exemple, collées ou cousues sur la bande 16. Il est avantageux d'utiliser ce type de moyen de serrage puisqu'il est progressif et réglable. Il s'adapte ainsi aisément au souhait de l'utilisateur.The end 20 is further introduced into the second ring. This end 20 is then brought back to the rear body 4 along the arrow F 2 . The fastening with the rear body 4 can again be provided by a self-gripping strip 31 1 , 31 2 . The two self-gripping strips are VELCRO type for example, glued or sewn on the strip 16. It is advantageous to use this type of clamping means since it is progressive and adjustable. It adapts easily to the wishes of the user.

Avant l'introduction de l'extrémité libre 20 dans le deuxième anneau, l'utilisateur fait glisser cette extrémité sur les deux organes de pincement 22, 24. Le dispositif de serrage est alors en phase d'activation, ce qui va entraîner un rapprochement des organes de pincement 22, 24, selon les flèches F3, F4. Le sens de déplacement peut être défini par un axe transversal Y-Y sensiblement perpendiculaire au plan I et donc à l'axe médian X-X. La bande médiane 26 est ainsi pincée latéralement contre le tendon d'Achille du pied, ce qui provoque un rapprochement des ailes 261, 262 l'une vers l'autre. Le dispositif de serrage exerce une pression de manière essentiellement latérale sur le corps arrière 4. En effet, la pression s'exerce de manière plus importante, depuis les organes de pincement 22, 24 vers la bande médiane 26 selon l'axe transversal Y-Y, que depuis le corps arrière 4 vers la languette 28 selon l'axe médian X-X. Les coques se déformant de manière préférentielle selon un axe parallèle à l'axe X-X, la pression exercée par le dispositif de serrage permet d'opérer un mouvement de rapprochement de la partie supérieure des deux coques selon l'axe Y-Y et de réaliser ainsi le serrage du talon.Before the introduction of the free end 20 into the second ring, the user slides this end on the two pinch members 22, 24. The clamping device is then in the activation phase, which will bring about a rapprochement pinching members 22, 24, according to the arrows F 3 , F 4 . The direction of movement can be defined by a transverse axis YY substantially perpendicular to the plane I and thus to the median axis XX. The median band 26 is thus pinched laterally against the Achilles tendon of the foot, causing the wings 26 1 , 26 2 to approach each other. The clamping device exerts a substantially lateral pressure on the rear body 4. In fact, the pressure is exerted more significantly, from the clamping members 22, 24 towards the central band 26 along the transverse axis YY, than from the rear body 4 to the tongue 28 along the median axis XX. The shells deform preferably in an axis parallel to the axis XX, the pressure exerted by the clamping device makes it possible to operate a movement of approximation of the upper part of the two shells along the YY axis and thus achieve the tightening of the heel.

De manière avantageuse, la bande médiane 26 comprend un matériau de type mousse d'une dureté comprise entre 60 Shore A et 90 Shore A, et de préférence comprise entre 75 Shore A et 85 Shore A. Ainsi, le pincement de la bande médiane 26 s'effectue sans produire de plis dans la bande même. En effet, la présence de tels plis est peu confortable pour l'utilisateur. A titre de variante, la bande peut être également constituée de LYCRA.Advantageously, the median strip 26 comprises a foam-like material having a hardness of between 60 Shore A and 90 Shore A, and preferably between 75 Shore A and 85 Shore A. Thus, the nip of the median strip 26 is performed without producing folds in the same band. Indeed, the presence of such folds is uncomfortable for the user. Alternatively, the band may also consist of LYCRA.

La figure 4 représente un exemple d'organe de pincement 22, destiné à être disposé sur le corps latéral extérieur 7 de la chaussure 1. L'organe de pincement 22 comprend une zone de guidage 32 destinée à recevoir l'extrémité libre 20 de la bande 16, afin de faciliter la mise en place de l'extrémité libre 20 de la bande médiane 16 et, notamment, son passage dans le deuxième anneau. La zone de guidage 32 est délimitée par deux bordures, comme on le verra dans ce qui suit.The figure 4 represents an example of pinch member 22, intended to be arranged on the outer lateral body 7 of the shoe 1. The pinch member 22 comprises a guide zone 32 intended to receive the free end 20 of the strip 16, to facilitate the establishment of the free end 20 of the central band 16 and, in particular, its passage in the second ring. The guide zone 32 is delimited by two borders, as will be seen in what follows.

L'organe 22 comprend en outre une zone de fixation 34 propre à être fixée sous la semelle 8. De manière avantageuse, l'épaisseur de cette zone de fixation 34 est plus faible que l'épaisseur du reste de l'organe 22 de sorte que, à la fois, son introduction sous la semelle 8 soit facilitée et aucune gêne ne soit générée entre la semelle 8 et le corps de la chaussure 1. Typiquement, la zone de fixation 34 a une épaisseur comprise entre 1 mm et 1.5 mm.The member 22 further comprises a fastening zone 34 adapted to be fixed under the soleplate 8. Advantageously, the thickness of this fastening zone 34 is smaller than the thickness of the remainder of the member 22 so that both its introduction under the sole 8 is facilitated and no discomfort is generated between the sole 8 and the body of the shoe 1. Typically, the attachment zone 34 has a thickness of between 1 mm and 1.5 mm.

La figure 5 représente un organe de pincement 24 propre à être disposé sur le corps latéral intérieur 6 de la chaussure 1. Cet organe 24 comporte une zone de fixation 38 destinée à s'engager sous la semelle 8. Pour des raisons identiques à celles évoquées dans le paragraphe précédent, l'épaisseur de la zone de fixation 38 est plus faible que l'épaisseur du reste de l'organe 24.The figure 5 represents a gripping member 24 adapted to be disposed on the inner lateral body 6 of the shoe 1. This member 24 comprises a fastening zone 38 intended to engage under the sole 8. For reasons identical to those mentioned in the paragraph previous, the thickness of the attachment zone 38 is smaller than the thickness of the rest of the member 24.

De manière avantageuse, pour assurer sa fonction de manière satisfaisante, l'organe de pincement 22, 24 a une longueur sensiblement égale à un tiers de la longueur de la chaussure 1.Advantageously, to ensure its function satisfactorily, the clamping member 22, 24 has a length substantially equal to one third of the length of the boot 1.

Avantageusement, l'organe de pincement 22, 24 est en matériau d'une dureté comprise entre 40 Shore D et 70 Shore D, et de préférence comprise entre 50 Shore D et 60 Shore D. L'organe de pincement 22, 24 dispose ainsi d'une consistance suffisante pour permettre le pliage de la bande médiane 26.Advantageously, the gripping member 22, 24 is made of a material having a hardness of between 40 Shore D and 70 Shore D, and preferably between 50 Shore D and 60 Shore D. The gripping member 22, 24 thus provides of sufficient consistency to permit folding of the middle band 26.

Les figures 6 et 7 représentent respectivement une première bordure de retenue en saillie 40 et une deuxième bordure de retenue en saillie 42 délimitant la zone de guidage 32. Ces deux bordures sont disposées de manière sensiblement parallèle sur l'organe de pincement 22.The Figures 6 and 7 respectively represent a first projecting retaining rim 40 and a second projecting retaining rim 42 delimiting the guiding zone 32. These two rims are arranged substantially parallel to the nip member 22.

Afin de s'assurer que l'extrémité libre 20 de la bande 16 reste en position, la bordure 40 présente dans sa zone médiane une épaisseur E40 supérieure à son épaisseur e40 sur les extrémités axiales. Il en est de même pour la bordure 42 qui présente dans sa zone médiane une épaisseur E42 supérieure à son épaisseur e42 sur ses extrémités axiales. A titre d'exemple, la première bordure 40 et la deuxième bordure 42 ont respectivement pour première épaisseur E40 3.50 mm et pour deuxième épaisseur E42 6 mm, en leur partie médiane et pour épaisseur e40, e42 1.50 mm sur leur deux extrémités.To ensure that the free end 20 of the strip 16 remains in position, the edge 40 has in its central zone a thickness E 40 greater than its thickness e 40 on the axial ends. It is the same for the edge 42 which has in its central zone a thickness E 42 greater than its thickness e 42 on its axial ends. By way of example, the first edge 40 and the second edge 42 have a first thickness E 40 of 3.50 mm and a second thickness E 42 6 mm respectively, in their middle portion they have a thickness e 40 , e 42 1.50 mm on their two sides. ends.

On peut noter que chacune des bordures 40 et 42 présentent une surépaisseur dans le prolongement de la nervure 25. Chacune des surépaisseurs favorisent donc le pincement du corps arrière 4.It may be noted that each of the borders 40 and 42 have an extra thickness in the extension of the rib 25. Each of the extra thicknesses therefore favor the pinching of the rear body 4.

Les bordures 40, 42 peuvent être réalisées, par exemple, soit par thermoformage, soit par collage sur l'organe de pincement 22. De manière avantageuse, ces bordures 40, 42 sont disposées sur une zone supérieure de l'organe 22. En effet, une telle disposition permet un serrage satisfaisant, à savoir un maintien satisfaisant de la cheville dans la chaussure 1.The borders 40, 42 can be made, for example, either by thermoforming or by gluing on the nip member 22. Advantageously, these edges 40, 42 are arranged on an upper zone of the member 22. Indeed such an arrangement allows a satisfactory tightening, namely a satisfactory maintenance of the ankle in the shoe 1.

A titre de variante non représentée, il peut être prévu l'utilisation de crochets de serrage, de type crochets utilisés sur les chaussures de ski, en lieu et place du moyen de serrage constitué de la bande 16.As a variant not shown, it can be provided the use of clamping hooks, hooks type used on the ski boots, in place of the clamping means consisting of the band 16.

On pourrait de même prévoir une molette disposée sur la languette 28, la molette pouvant alors actionner le serrage d'un câble faisant office de bande et éventuellement de lacet. Il est à noter que cette molette peut être disposée sur les organes de pincement 22, 24.One could also provide a wheel disposed on the tongue 28, the wheel can then actuate the clamping of a cable acting band and possibly yaw. It should be noted that this wheel can be arranged on the nipper members 22, 24.

Par ailleurs, l'organe de serrage 12 peut être composé de trois parties distinctes : la partie centrale 17 ainsi que de deux parties libres collées ou cousues respectivement de part et d'autre de cette partie centrale.Furthermore, the clamping member 12 may be composed of three distinct parts: the central portion 17 and two free parts glued or stitched respectively on either side of this central portion.

En outre, il peut être prévu que les organes de pincement 22, 24 soient intégrés dans le corps arrière 4 même. En d'autres termes, ils peuvent être disposés dans le matériau de composition du corps arrière 4. Deux ouvertures peuvent alors être prévues sur la partie supérieure tournée vers l'extérieur du corps arrière 4. Ainsi, les bordures de retenue en saillie 40, 42 peuvent traverser ces deux ouvertures pour permettre le passage de la bande auto-agrippante.In addition, it can be provided that the clamping members 22, 24 are integrated in the rear body 4 itself. In other words, they can be arranged in the composition material of the rear body 4. Two openings can then be provided on the upper part facing outwardly of the rear body 4. Thus, the projecting retaining edges 40, 42 can pass through these two openings to allow the passage of the self-gripping tape.
