Definitions

• the invention relates to a non-slip boot designed to be reversibly secured to a shoe.
• shoes have been proposed with a sole defining a number of crampons, after-ski type. This type of shoe is relatively heavy, bulky and is dedicated to the only end of walking on slippery surfaces.
• the invention is an anti-slip boot adapted to be reversibly secured to a shoe, regardless of the type of shoe.
• This slip-resistant boot consists of a net made of textile material, and in this case, made of knitted cords, said cords being themselves knitted together, so as to define the mesh of the netting. define crampons.
• both ends of the net are encapsulated in a strap, each defining a closed loop.
• the boot resulting from the invention is positioned easily on a shoe, and the crampons defined by the mesh of the net, are effective means to combat the risk of slipping.
• the liner is also provided with an additional loop able to extend over the user's foot after placing the liner, and optimizing the effective fastening of the liner on the shoe. of the user.
• the net is made of polyester or polyamide (or PP / PE), optionally coated with polyurethane and generally elastomer, suitable for optimizing the anti-slip characteristics of the liner.
• the net may be provided with staples or clips, positioned either at the junction of the cords defining the mesh of the net, or at any place of said cords, and for the sake of optimizing the characteristics anti-slip on hard surfaces, such as ice or ice.
• staples are made of metal or plastic, or even thermoplastic material.
• Figure 1 is a schematic perspective view of the shoe according to the invention, implemented in a shoe.
• Figure 2 is a schematic representation of the elastic cord implemented in the boot according to the invention provided with its two straps, respectively anterior and posterior.
• Figure 3 is a schematic representation illustrating the constituent net of the shoe, shown flat, and provided with its anterior and posterior straps.
• slip shoe according to the invention placed on a shoe. It will be noted that the shoe in this case is a very classic shoe, in this case a sports shoe, which allows precisely the boot of the invention.
• this liner is basically constituted of a net 1 made of textile material and defining a number of meshes 10, said mesh being intended to constitute crampons, suitable for ensuring the desired adhesion on a slippery surface and in particular on snow.
• the meshes 10 form as many protrusions, the typical height relative to the sole of the shoe is of the order of 3 to 8 mm.
• this net 1 is formed by knitting cords 16, themselves obtained by knitting.
• the operation of knitting the cords and the actual thread is carried out simultaneously, for example on knitting machines of the MULLER type or other, and more precisely on a knitting machine with square section double needle GWM or on a round single section knitting machine RD3 / MT3.
• the cords are made, as already said, by knitting and each comprise several strands, and for example from one to ten, the desired diameter of the cord and thus corollary the height of the crampons, being obtained by knitting and clamping the strands together.
• cords 16 are made of polyester or polyamide. The combination of high mechanical strength, good adhesion properties, and advantageously some resistance to abrasion is sought.
• mesh 10 whose dimensions are substantially standardized, and for example 40 x 40 mm which, when the net in question is placed on the shoe, has a square shape or in rhombus.
• the respectively anterior end 12 and posterior 11 end of the net are each encapsulated in an anterior strap respectively 3 and posterior 4, said straps being sewn edge to edge so as to avoid delamination of the net, that is to say ensure the stability of the net in time.
• These straps are for example made of polypropylene or polyester and each define a loop respectively 7 and 6, intended to allow the passage at this level of an elastic cord 2, also running at the mesh respectively 14 and 15 of the two side edges said net. In doing so, this elastic cord 2 ensures, because of its elasticity, fixing the boot on the shoe.
• this fastening is optimized by means of a strap or loop 8, one end of which is secured at one of the lateral strands of the elastic cord 2, and the other end of which is wrapped around the other side strand of said cord 2, and is folded onto said strap and reversibly attach to the latter for example by means of a system with loops and hooks 9 (such as for example Velcro®).
• the thread is also provided with staples or clips 13, for example formed at the junction areas of the cords defining the stitches, this location is not necessarily imperative.
• These clips or clips for example metal (stainless steel or galvanized steel), are intended to penetrate partially into a hard material, such as ice, to optimize the anti-slip properties of the shoe.
• the rear strap 4 is provided with a tongue 5 forming a loop, allowing the passage of a finger of the user to promote the insertion of the boot on the shoe.
• the crampons defined by the mesh of the net promote the adhesion of the coated shoe and the bootie, especially on the snow, without the need to provide specific organs or devices as described in the prior art of the type removable cleats .
• the extreme simplicity of implementation of the boot of the invention since it is sufficient to insert the shoe in the anterior area of the boot, defining at the area of cooperation of the front strap with the net, a housing provided for this purpose, and thanks to the elastic cords and the tongue 5, we just position the back of the boot correctly on the shoe.
