Description

La présente invention concerne un perfectionnement pour chaussure et plus particulièrement pour chaussure de sport destinée à parcourir confortablement des terrains très irréguliers, comme par exemple ceux que l'on trouve en montagne, notamment en descente, avec des cailloux des souches, des racines ou autres.The present invention relates to an improvement for shoes and more particularly for sports shoes designed to comfortably travel over very uneven terrain, such as those found in the mountains, especially downhill, with pebbles stumps, roots or other .

De façon connue en soi, les chaussures comportent une tige montée sur une semelle externe, et l'on trouve sur le marché un choix important de chaussures de sport, de façon à ce que l'utilisateur puisse choisir le type de chaussure adapté à l'utilisation qu'il envisage.
US 2003/172548 A1 décrit un assemblage de semelle intermédiaire pour chaussure qui comprend un premier élément ayant une première dureté et un second élément ayant une deuxième dureté. Le premier élément est positionné au-dessous du second élément au niveau du talon et de la section médiane de l'assemblage et est positionné au-dessus du second élément dans l'avant-pied grâce au découpage qui permet d'interconnecter les premier et second éléments. Cette construction procure une rigidité différente/amortissement pour le pied d'un utilisateur dans les différents endroits de la chaussure.
Référence du site web : « http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Creepers » décrit une chaussure avec une partie supérieure fermée et une épaisse semelle dans laquelle la semelle extérieure a une surface inférieure plate et une partie centrale de hauteur essentiellement homogène. La hauteur sous talon est généralement plus importante que la hauteur à l'avant du pied. Ces chaussures étaient à la mode dans les années 70 - 80. Référence du site web : «www.underground-cybershop.co.uk/double-sole-wulfrun-creepers-black-suede » divulgue une chaussure similaire.
US2011 / 113646 A1 décrit une chaussure avec des portions avant et arrière incurvées et où l'épaisseur de la semelle est non uniforme.In a manner known per se, the shoes comprise a rod mounted on an outsole, and there is on the market a large choice of sports shoes, so that the user can choose the type of shoe adapted to the use it envisages.
US 2003/172548 A1 discloses a shoe midsole assembly which includes a first member having a first hardness and a second member having a second hardness. The first element is positioned below the second element at the heel and the median section of the assembly and is positioned above the second element in the forefoot thanks to the cutting that interconnects the first and second elements. This construction provides a different stiffness / damping for the foot of a user in the different areas of the shoe.
Web site reference: "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Creepers" describes a shoe with a closed upper part and a thick sole in which the outsole has a flat bottom surface and a central part of substantially uniform height . The height under heel is generally greater than the height at the front of the foot. These shoes were fashionable in the 70's - 80's. Website reference: "www.underground-cybershop.co.uk/double-sole-wulfrun-creepers-black-suede" discloses a similar shoe.
US2011 / 113646 A1 describes a shoe with curved front and back portions and where the sole thickness is non-uniform.

Toutefois bien que perfectionnées les chaussures de sport présentent un certain nombre d'inconvénients que la chaussure selon l'invention entend supprimer.However, although improved sports shoes have a number of disadvantages that the shoe according to the invention intends to remove.

Grâce à la chaussure selon l'invention et notamment grâce à la géométrie de la face inférieure de la semelle, ainsi que grâce au volume et à la nature de cette semelle, le déroulement du pied se fait naturellement, et ce quel que soit le type de parcours, qu'il soit en montée, en descente ou sur du plat. En effet grâce à la semelle il y a continuité du contact et progressivité du déroulé.Thanks to the shoe according to the invention and in particular thanks to the geometry of the underside of the sole, as well as thanks to the volume and the nature of this sole, the unwinding of the foot is done naturally, whatever the type. course, whether uphill, downhill or flat. Indeed thanks to the sole there is continuity of contact and progressiveness of the unwinding.

A la lecture de la description qui va suivre, on comprendra que le bénéfice cité précédemment existe tout en respectant la position naturelle du pied.Upon reading the description which follows, it will be understood that the benefit mentioned above exists while respecting the natural position of the foot.

On comprendra aussi que grâce à sa semelle, la chaussure de l'invention encaisse particulièrement bien les terrains irréguliers.It will also be understood that, thanks to its sole, the shoe of the invention is particularly suited to the irregular terrain.

On ajoutera que grâce à son rebord latéral, la semelle procure une excellente stabilité latérale, protégeant ainsi des chocs.It will be added that thanks to its lateral rim, the sole provides excellent lateral stability, thus protecting against shocks.

D'autres caractéristiques et avantages de l'invention se dégageront de la description qui va suivre en regard des dessins annexés qui ne sont donnés qu'à titre d'exemples non limitatifs.

  • La figure 1 est une vue latérale de la chaussure selon l'invention
  • La figure 2 est une vue de dessus
  • La figure 3 représente la semelle selon une vue en perspective.
  • Les figures 4A, 4B, 4C sont des vues selon des coupes transversales respectivement selon A-A, B-B, C-C.
Other features and advantages of the invention will become apparent from the description which follows with reference to the accompanying drawings which are given by way of non-limiting examples.
  • The figure 1 is a side view of the shoe according to the invention
  • The figure 2 is a view from above
  • The figure 3 represents the sole in a perspective view.
  • The Figures 4A, 4B, 4C are views in cross sections respectively along AA, BB, CC.

La chaussure de l'invention portant la référence générale (1) comprend de façon connue une tige (2) montée sur une semelle externe (3).The shoe of the invention bearing the general reference (1) comprises in known manner a rod (2) mounted on an outer sole (3).

La tige est constituée par une enveloppe (4) dans laquelle le pied de l'utilisateur y est retenu. Ainsi, cette tige qui est réalisée par exemple avec un matériau souple a sensiblement la forme du pied de l'utilisateur, et comprend des moyens de retenue tel que par exemple un lacet.The stem is constituted by an envelope (4) in which the foot of the user is retained. Thus, this rod which is made for example with a flexible material has substantially the shape of the foot of the user, and comprises retaining means such as for example a lace.

Selon une caractéristique la tige (2) surmonte la semelle externe (3) pour y être encastrée par sa partie basse. La tige est bien entendu solidarisée à sa semelle par tout moyen approprié connu tel que collage et autre, et est retenue par sa partie basse par un rebord périphérique (5) constitué par une paroi s'étendant vers la haut entourant donc la partie basse de la tige. En d'autres termes, la semelle comprend une cuvette centrale (6) constituée par un profil en creux ouvert vers le haut destiné à recevoir la tige, ladite cuvette étant formée par le rebord périphérique.According to one feature the rod (2) overcomes the outer sole (3) to be recessed by its lower part. The rod is of course secured to its sole by any appropriate means known as gluing and the like, and is retained by its lower part by a peripheral rim (5) constituted by an upwardly extending wall thus surrounding the lower part of the stem. In other words, the sole comprises a central bowl (6) constituted by an upwardly open recessed profile intended to receive the rod, said bowl being formed by the peripheral rim.

Notons que selon des coupes transversales la tige présente au niveau de sa solidarisation avec la semelle, des largeurs (L1) tandis que selon ces mêmes coupes transversales, la largeur de la semelle au niveau de son appui sur le sol présente des largeurs (L2) supérieures à la largeur (L1) de la tige.Note that according to cross sections the rod has at its attachment to the sole, widths (L1) while according to these same cross sections, the width of the sole at its support on the ground has widths (L2) greater than the width (L1) of the rod.

Ainsi, selon une caractéristique de la chaussure de l'invention le rapport entre la valeur de la largeur (L2) de la semelle au niveau de son appui sur le sol avec la largeur (L1) est un coefficient K1 compris entre 1,5 et 1,8.Thus, according to a characteristic of the shoe of the invention, the ratio between the value of the width (L2) of the sole at its support on the ground with the width (L1) is a coefficient K1 of between 1.5 and 1.8.

Par ailleurs, la semelle présente une épaisseur (H1) comprise entre 20 mm et 55 mm tandis que la hauteur (H2) d'encastrement de la tige dans la semelle est comprise entre 20 et 30 mm.Furthermore, the sole has a thickness (H1) of between 20 mm and 55 mm while the height (H2) of embedding of the rod in the sole is between 20 and 30 mm.

Par ailleurs, on notera que selon une caractéristique complémentaire la paroi latérale (7) de la semelle est bombée pour rejoindre le point haut (7a) au point bas (7b) tel que cela apparaît aux figures 4A, 4B, 4C.Moreover, it will be noted that, according to a complementary characteristic, the lateral wall (7) of the sole is curved to join the high point (7a) at the low point (7b) as it appears at Figures 4A, 4B, 4C .

Ajoutons que la surface inférieure (8) de la semelle comprend une partie centrale (9) sensiblement plate, prolongée à l'avant par une partie avant relevée courbe (9a), et à l'arrière par une partie arrière relevée courbe (9b).It should be added that the bottom surface (8) of the sole comprises a substantially flat central portion (9), extended at the front by a curved raised front portion (9a), and at the rear by a curved raised rear portion (9b). .

Notons que la partie centrale (9) s'étend sur une longueur (L3) dont la valeur est comprise entre 40 et 70 %, de la valeur de la longueur totale (L) de la semelleNote that the central portion (9) extends over a length (L3) whose value is between 40 and 70%, of the value of the total length (L) of the soleplate

Sachant que la longueur (L4) de la partie avant relevée courbe (9a) a une valeur comprise entre 25 et 40 % de la valeur de la longueur totale (L) de la semelle, tandis que la longueur (L5) de la partie arrière relevée courbe (9b) a une valeur comprise entre 15 et 30 % de la valeur de la longueur totale (L) de la semelle (3).Knowing that the length (L4) of the raised front curve (9a) has a value between 25 and 40% of the value of the total length (L) of the sole, while the length (L5) of the rear part raised curve (9b) has a value between 15 and 30% of the value of the total length (L) of the sole (3).

Notons aussi que la hauteur (H3) du relevé de la partie avant relevée (9a) a une valeur comprise entre 30 et 40 % de la longueur (L4) de cette même partie avant relevée (9a)Note also that the height (H3) of the reading of the raised front part (9a) has a value between 30 and 40% of the length (L4) of the same raised front part (9a).

Par ailleurs, on notera que la partie centrale (9) sensiblement plate s'étend en partie en arrière du point d'appui (10) du talon et en partie en avant de ce point, jusqu'au niveau des métatarses.Furthermore, it should be noted that the substantially flat central portion (9) extends partly behind the point of support (10) of the heel and partly in front of this point, up to the level of the metatarsals.

On notera aussi que la hauteur (H4) du relevé de la partie arrière relevée (9b) a une valeur inférieure à la valeur de la hauteur (H3) du relevé de la partie avant relevée (9a).It should also be noted that the height (H4) of the reading of the raised rear part (9b) has a value lower than the value of the height (H3) of the reading of the raised front part (9a).

De façon avantageuse la semelle est en matériau de type EVA (Copolymère éthylène vinyle acétal) dont la dureté shore "D" est par exemple comprise entre 50 et 70.Advantageously, the sole is made of material of the EVA (ethylene vinyl acetal copolymer) type whose shore hardness "D" is for example between 50 and 70.

En ce qui concerne l'épaisseur de la semelle, pour une chaussure de longueur de semelle (L) d'environ 300 mm, cette dernière est au niveau de l'appui du talon (H1c) comprise entre 30 et 55 mm, et au niveau de l'avant pied (H1a) comprise entre 20 et 40 mm. Ce qui signifie que la hauteur (H1a) est comprise entre 5 et 15 % de la longueur (L) et que la hauteur (H1c) est comprise entre 10 et 20 % de la longueur (L).With regard to the thickness of the sole, for a shoe with a sole length (L) of approximately 300 mm, the latter is at the level of the heel support (H1c) of between 30 and 55 mm, and level of the forefoot (H1a) between 20 and 40 mm. This means that the height (H1a) is between 5 and 15% of the length (L) and the height (H1c) is between 10 and 20% of the length (L).

Bien entendu, l'invention n'est pas limitée aux modes de réalisation décrits et représentés à titre d'exemples, mais elle comprend aussi tous les équivalents techniques ainsi que leurs combinaisons.Of course, the invention is not limited to the embodiments described and represented by way of examples, but it also includes all the technical equivalents as well as their combinations.
