Definitions

  • the invention relates to footwear elements which comprise an envelope intended to cover the foot. More particularly, the invention relates to athletic or walking shoes whose stem comprises an envelope. Such shoes can be used in areas such as snowboarding or snowboarding, snowshoeing, snow skiing, walking, running on flat or hilly terrain, ball sports, or whatever.
  • each shoe includes an outer sole and a rod. It itself includes a side area, a medial area, and a reversible clamping device neighborhoods. In known manner this arrangement allows either to loosen the rod, to put on or off, or on the contrary to tighten, to maintain the foot and sometimes the ankle, or even the lower leg.
  • the shoe presented above is adapted to the practice of snowboarding, in the sense that it allows to perform the movements or to give the impulses necessary to the driving of a board.
  • it has the disadvantage of poor clamping distribution. In other words, when the lace is held in tension, some parts of the foot and / or the lower leg are too tight, while other parts are not too tight. This is because the lace follows a very long path related to the size of the shoe.
  • the clamping device comprises a first lace, for reversibly clamping a first zone of the rod, and a second lace, for reversibly clamping a second zone of the rod.
  • Each of the laces comprises an attachment end to the rod.
  • the clamping device comprises a tensioning handle for each lace, which makes two handles. And it is also necessary to organize the pathways of the two laces to avoid that one and the other do not interfere.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a shoe having an improved clamping device.
  • the invention particularly aims to simplify the structure, and also the use of the reversible clamping device of the stem of a footwear element.
  • the invention also aims to optimize the distribution of tensions related to the tightening of the rod.
  • the invention provides a footwear element which comprises an outer sole and a rod, the upper comprising a first casing, the first casing comprising a lateral quarter, a medial quarter and a reversible clamping device of the lateral and medial quarters, the clamping device comprising a lace which extends between an end of attachment to the casing and a free end, and a first reversible locking device of the lace, the first locking device being secured to the casing.
  • the tightening device of the footwear element according to the invention is characterized in that it comprises a second reversible lace locking device, secured to the casing and designed to reversibly block a subdivision of the lace located between the first blocking device and the free end.
  • the invention thus makes it possible to obtain two clamping zones for a single lace.
  • the first zone is that between the attachment end and the first locking device.
  • the second zone is that between the first and second locking devices.
  • the two clamping zones are therefore located one after the other.
  • the first blocking device makes it possible to adjust the clamping level of the rod in the first zone
  • the second blocking device makes it possible to adjust the level of clamping of the rod in the second zone.
  • these clamping levels are those that are best for the user, and are generally different from each other.
  • the invention therefore provides a differentiated clamping along a clamping device which comprises two clamping zones traversed by a lace.
  • Using a yarn strand and, by corollary, attaching the strand to the stalk, is simpler than using two or more strands, as well as two or more straps.
  • the invention thus simplifies the structure of a clamping device, which also means that the structure of the footwear element is simplified. It will be seen later that the use of the clamping device is simplified.
  • the invention combines the two advantages that are, on the one hand, the simplicity of the clamping device, in its structure and in its use and, on the other hand, the desired distribution of the clamping tensions within the various areas of the device.
  • a snowboard boot 1 is provided to accommodate the foot of the user.
  • the shoe 1 is a footwear element which comprises an outer sole 2 and a rod 3 secured to the sole.
  • the shoe extends in length, in a longitudinal direction L, between a rear end or heel 4 and a front end or tip 5, and in width, in a transverse direction W, between a lateral side 6 and a medial side 7.
  • the rod 3 comprises a lower portion 10, provided to cover the foot, and a high portion 11, provided to surround the ankle and possibly the lower leg.
  • the invention also applies to a footwear element comprising only a low portion.
  • the rod 3 has a top 12 at the lower portion 10, and an upper end 13 or free end at the upper portion 11.
  • the shoe extends in height since the soleing external 2 to the top 12 on the side of the tip 5, and from the outer sole 2 to the upper end 13 of the side of the heel 4.
  • the shoe 1 is structured to allow inclinations of the lower leg during the driving of a board, a good unwinding of the foot during walking, transmissions sensory information, and impulse transmissions for supports or receptions. This is why the outer sole 2 and the rod 3 are relatively flexible.
  • the rod 3 comprises a first casing 14, which constitutes the outer part of the rod 3.
  • the first casing 14 thus delimits the heel 4, the tip 5, as well as the lateral 6 and medial sides 7 of the rod 3
  • the rod 3 comprises a second envelope 15 inserted into the first.
  • the second envelope 15 is for example a comfort slipper, removable or permanently mounted in the first envelope 14. It is however specified that the shoe 1 may be devoid of slipper, especially when the user seeks a more precise or sportier driving. In this case the rod 3 consists of the only first envelope 14. This may nevertheless include an inner lining, intended to provide a minimum of comfort.
  • the first envelope 14 comprises a lateral portion 21, connected to the outer sole 2 at the lateral side 6, as well as a medial portion 22, connected in turn to the outer sole 2 at the medial side 7.
  • the medial quarter 22 extends from the outer sole 2 to the top 12 of the rod 3 at the lower portion 10, remaining set back from a longitudinal plane P of the shoe or footwear element, which is medial quarter and perpendicular to the outer sole 2.
  • the medial quarter 22 also remains set back from the longitudinal plane P at the high portion 11.
  • the lateral portion 21 also extends beyond the medial plane P, to partially cover the medial area 22 when the first envelope 14 is tightened, at the level of the upper portion 11.
  • the footwear element or shoe 1 further comprises a reversible clamping device 25 of the lateral 21 and medial 22, which device will be described in more detail later.
  • a reversible clamping device 25 of the lateral 21 and medial 22 which device will be described in more detail later.
  • it comprises a lace 26 which extends between an attachment end 27 to the first envelope 14 and a free end 28, as well as a first reversible locking device 31 of the lace 26.
  • the first blocking device 31 which will be described in more detail later, is secured to the first casing 14.
  • the reversible clamping device 25 of the footwear element 1 comprises a second reversible locking device 32 of the lace 26, secured to the first casing 14, and provided for reversibly locking a subdivision of the lace 26 located between the first locking device 31 and the free end 28.
  • each of the levels can be chosen as the highest or the lowest.
  • the clamping device 25 is now described in more detail.
  • the attachment end 27 of the lace 26 comprises a knotted buckle 35.
  • the clamping device 25 comprises a fastener 36 made here in the form of a pierced wing.
  • the passer 36 is a flat piece, flexible and inextensible, made for example from leather, a layer of synthetic material, or any equivalent material.
  • the loop 36 is located at the limit of the sole 2 and the rod 3. It is therefore easy to form the loop 35 to attach the lace 26 to the passer 36. This is located on the medial side 7 of the shoe 1, forward of the heel 4, at a distance between 30 and 70% of the length of the sole 2, knowing that a distance between 40 and 60% is satisfactory.
  • the attachment end 27 of the lace 26 is located on the medial side 7. It will be better understood later that it facilitates the tightening of the rod 3 by pulling the lateral portion 21 towards the medial side 7. Still corollary the attachment end 27 of the lace 26 is situated in front of the heel 4, at a distance of between 30 and 70% of the length of the sole assembly 2, knowing that a distance of between 40 and 60% is satisfactory. In fact, the attachment end 27 is approximately perpendicular to the instep of the user, when a boot is made. It will be seen later that this location of the attachment end 27 improves the holding of the foot in the rod 3 at the instep.
  • the clamping device 25 comprises loops 37, 38, 39 arranged between the fastening end 27 of the lace strand 26 and the first locking device 31.
  • the number of loops is equal to three, but it could alternatively be smaller or bigger. For example, there can be provided one, two, four, five or six loops between the attachment end 27 and the device 31.
  • a set of three loops 37, 38, 39 is a good compromise to reduce the friction associated with tightening while ensuring a uniform distribution of the tightening.
  • the first pass 37 is secured to the side portion 21
  • the second pass 38 is secured to the medial area 22
  • the third pass 39 is secured to the side portion 21. This causes the lace 26 to pass alternately from one quarter to another, for a more homogeneous tightening.
  • each passer 37, 38, 39 is structured so that the lace 26 is guided parallel to the first envelope 14, that is to say also parallel to the subdivision of the lateral quarter 21 or the medial area 22 on which it is subject.
  • a passer 37 is a guide that has the general shape of a crescent.
  • the loop 37 comprises a body 40, made for example of plastic material, hollowed by a corridor 41 in the shape of a crescent.
  • the lace 26 slides in the corridor 41.
  • the section of the latter 41 is circular, but could have any other suitable form.
  • the passer 37 also includes a protective cover 42, not mandatory, which also plays a role of aesthetic improvement.
  • the footwear element 1 comprises a securing means, for example made in the form of a seam 43.
  • any other securing means such as a collage, may be provided. snapping, riveting, or other, or a combination of these means.
  • the invention provides that the first reversible locking device 31 is a blocking pass. This one, presented in more detail on the figure 6 , is placed following the loops 37, 38, 39 following the lace 26 in a direction away from the attachment end 27, as will be seen later.
  • the blocker 31 is a guide that has the general shape of a crescent. It is made identically or similarly to that described in the document EP 0 848 917-B1 incorporated in the description by reference. However, it is specified that the blocking loop 31 comprises a body 50, made for example of plastic, having a peripheral sliding path 51 which is crescent-shaped. This path 51 is convex in its general shape, and concave in any section, to facilitate the guiding of the lace 26. It is observed that a first subdivision 52 of the path 51, placed on the side of the passers 37, 38, 39 mentioned above, presents a regular surface. This makes it easy to slide the lace 26.
  • a second subdivision 53 of the path 51, placed on the opposite side to the loops 37, 38, 39, has an irregular surface, intended to jam, that is to say in fact block, the sliding of the lace 26 along the path 51.
  • the subdivision 53 has for example teeth 54 projecting inside the path 51. It will be better understood later that a pull on the lace 26, exerted so as to separate it from the teeth 54, for example according to the arrow F1, allows a tensioning of a first clamping zone, between the attachment end 27 and the first locking device 31. Then the drawdown of the lace 26, according to the arrow F2, in the subdivision 53, which is provided with the teeth 54, allows the maintenance of clamping. Indeed, the lace 26 is stuck by the teeth: the locking effect is obtained.
  • first 52 and second 53 subdivisions of the path 51 are open, in the sense that the lace 26 can be removed, but that the boundary between the first 52 and second 53 comprises a bridge 55 which locally gives the path 51 appearance of a tube. This maintains the lace 26 at the locking device, and facilitates tightening or loosening of the device 25, as will be better understood later.
  • the clamping device 25 includes a guide 60 located between the first locking device 31 and the second locking device 32.
  • the number of loops is equal to one, but it could alternatively be larger. For example, two, three, four, or five loops may be provided between the locking devices 31, 32. Only one 60 is sufficient to achieve a clamping effect.
  • the passer 60 located between the first locking device 31 and the second locking device 32, is secured to the side portion 21. This facilitates a folding of the latter on the medial area 22.
  • the loop 60 is structured so that the lace 26 is guided parallel to the first envelope 14, also parallel to the subdivision of the side portion 21 on which it is subject.
  • the structure of the passer 60 is detailed at figure 7 .
  • the passer 60 is an open guide that has the general shape of a crescent. Again it 60 comprises a body 61, made for example of plastic material, which delimits a sliding path 62 in the form of a crescent for guiding the lace 26.
  • the sliding path 62 is open, in the sense that it allows a clearance of the lace 26 when it is relaxed, as will be seen later.
  • the invention provides that the second reversible locking device 32 is a blocking pass. This one, presented in more detail with the Figures 8 and 9 , is placed following the loops 37, 38, 39, the first locking device 31, and the passing 60 just before, following the lace 26 in a direction away from the attachment end 27.
  • the second reversible locking device 32 is also in the spirit of the document EP 0 848 917-B1 .
  • a body 70 made for example of plastic, having a peripheral holding path 71 which is crescent-shaped.
  • This path is convex in its general shape, and concave in any section, to facilitate the reversible locking of the lace 26.
  • the majority of the path 71 has an irregular surface, designed to wedge, that is to say in is blocked, the lace 26 in the path 71.
  • the latter has for example teeth 72 projecting therein, to cooperate with the lace 26. It will be better understood later that a setting up by winding of the lace 26 in the path 71 allows reversible blocking.
  • the free end 28 of the lace 26 comprises a handle 78.
  • This is for example made of rigid plastic material, with a shape that allows easy gripping. This is of course a T-shape. It may of course alternatively be provided to replace the handle with a loop, a node, or even leave the end 78 as it is, without adding or modifying.
  • the end 28 remains free, despite the presence of the handle 78, in the sense that its position is not fixed relative to the rod 3.
  • the first reversible locking device 31 is disposed on the medial quarter 22, in line with the upper end 13 of the rod 3.
  • the first locking device 31 is also located at the separation limit of the low portion 10 and high 11 of the rod 3. This causes the locking device 31 to maintain the tightness of the lower portion 10, especially above the metatarsal and instep.
  • the tensioning is obtained by manual pulling towards the upper end 13 and slightly behind, in the spirit of a pull along the arrow F1 of the figure 6 . Maintaining the tension, that is to say the locking of the lace 26 by the device 31, is obtained after having folded the lace 26 according to the arrow F2 always of the figure 6 .
  • the user acts to tighten the upper portion 11 of the rod 3. To do this it passes the lace 26 in the loop 60, then the edge of the second locking device 32. There a manual pull of the lace 26 to the backward, according to arrow F3 of the figure 8 , squeezes the high portion 11. Again with reference to the figure 2 it is observed that the tightening is maintained because the lace 26 is folded to engage the teeth 72 of the path 71.
  • the handle 78 is for example removably wedged at the upper end 13 of the rod 3. To do this, it 78 may be provided with a side tab, not visible in the figure.
  • the lace free length 26, which extends beyond the second device 32 after total tightening of the device 25, is shorter than it would have been if the strand had been in permanent engagement with all the loops and devices. locking 31, 32. This facilitates the storage of the free length, because its size is reduced.
  • the second reversible locking device 32 is disposed on the medial quarter 22, in line with the upper end 13 of the rod 3. Also, the second locking device 32 is located on the upper portion 11 of the rod 3. This arrangement makes it possible to obtain the reversible clamping of the upper portion 11, by pulling the lateral quarter 21 in a covering direction of the medial quarter 22. It can also be said that by acting on the lace 26 at the level of the second locking device 32, we obtain the reversible clamping of the second clamping zone between the first 31 and second 32 locking devices.
  • the lateral quarter 21 is superimposed on the medial quarter 22. This confers on the casing 14 continuity of structure, useful for the shoe 1 to be easily introduced into a device retainer on a board, which device holds the boot 1 with the help of straps.
  • the attachment end 27, the first locking device 31, the second locking device 32 and the loops 37, 38, 39, 60 are all located on the medial side 7. This allows to tighten the upper of a left shoe with the right hand, or vice versa. You can also tighten a left shoe with your left hand, or a right shoe with your right hand. We can of course use one hand to tighten every shoe rod. In the end the user sees the donning and loosening operations, that is to say tightening and loosening, simplified and faster.
  • the lace 26 is unique.
  • the first envelope 14 is tightened or loosened using the single lace 26. This arrangement gives the first envelope 14 its simplicity of structure and use.
  • the footwear element 1 comprises a tongue 80. This one, visible on the figure 1 extends in the longitudinal direction L in the upper region 12 and the front of the upper portion 11, under the lateral quarter 21.
  • the tongue 80 provides a certain comfort for the foot holding.
  • the lateral portion 21 has a low notch 81, located in front of the boundary between the low and high portions 11 and 11, and a notch 82, located above the boundary between the low portions 10 and 11 high.
  • These notches 81, 82 define a front flap 83, a central flap 84, and a rear flap 85 of the lateral quarter 21.
