Definitions
- the invention relates to a shoe, and relates in particular to a shoe for the practice of a sport.
- Such shoes can be used in areas such as walking, sports or not, or running on flat terrain or in the mountains, mountaineering, or wheeling, a ball sport, or other.
- a shoe may include a low or high shaft.
- the shoe can also be relatively flexible or on the contrary more rigid. However, whatever its general appearance or the activity practiced, the shoe must meet the expectations of a user.
- the shoe minimizes user fatigue. This naturally leads to providing a shoe structure whose mass is reduced. This characteristic is important in all areas mentioned before, especially those of running or walking. Indeed, a reduced mass is synonymous with low inertia, and therefore less fatigue.
- the wear layer which is intended to support the ground, is generally made of rubber, a material which has high adhesion capacity, but which is of high density. This is why openings may be provided to lighten the wear layer, and the entire shoe accordingly.
- transverse slots In the field of running or walking, it is for example known to make transverse slots in the wear layer. These slots alleviate the shoe and also promote longitudinal flexing of the outer sole, for a good unwinding of the foot.
- each opening is an interruption of the wear layer which forms a passage for any foreign body that could lodge there. It may be mineral portions, branches, any protruding relief, or small bodies such as pebbles, debris, or other. The introduction of a foreign body into an opening may cause deformation or deterioration of the outer sole, and possibly also trauma to the user's foot.
- the reinforcing layer is generally made of a thin synthetic material. This gives it both a puncture resistance and a reduced mass, to preserve the lightness of the sole.
- a shoe obtained by providing openings in its wear layer is both lighter and puncture resistant.
- it has the disadvantage of having a decreased ability to grip the ground. This means that it can, for example, skid when subjected to a solicitation that would be insufficient to derail a shoe of the same size without opening.
- This phenomenon of skidding, or accidental slippage can occur during ground support, especially on slopes, as well as during pulses related to acceleration, braking, or other. It follows that walking or running is less precise, less secure and, what is a paradox, a source of fatigue for the user.
- the general object of the invention is to improve the shoes according to the prior art.
- the aim sought above is to increase the adhesion to the ground, despite the decrease in the surface area of the wear / adhesion layer.
- Another object of the invention is to decline this adhesion in a broad manner, that is to say to obtain it as well on wet, wet, or soiled as on more land. predictable, such as dry land.
- a further object of the invention is to provide at the level of the outer sole a certain damping capacity.
- the invention seeks to optimize the behavior of the sole assembly during the entirety, or at least a significant part, of its contact with the ground, according to the activity practiced, and / or the terrain encountered.
- Another object of the invention is to improve the accuracy in the transmission of sensory information or pulses related to walking or running.
- a further object of the invention is to reduce as much as possible the mass of the outer sole.
- an object of the invention is to gather in a single shoe the ability of free and steady unfolding of the sole on the ground, sufficient adhesion on a regular floor, and sufficient adhesion or grip on a floor irregular. It means a versatile shoe, more effective in all situations, and on all terrains.
- the invention provides a shoe comprising an outer sole and a rod, according to claim 1.
- the damping layer dampens shocks, pulses related to running or walking, or sensory information that passes between the wear layer and the reinforcing layer.
- the damping layer serves as a mechanical filter.
- this layer allows small elastic displacements, which are reversibly, subdivisions or the entire wear layer relative to the reinforcing layer.
- the damping layer absorbs excess energy related to bearings, shocks, pulses, changes of terrain or relief, or the transit of sensory information. It follows that it is necessary to apply more energy to the outer sole, compared to a shoe without a damping layer, to obtain a slip or inadvertent sliding.
- the shoe according to the invention has a better adhesion to the ground that a shoe whose sole has no cushioning layer between the wear layer and the reinforcing layer.
- the improvement of the adhesion to the ground, for the shoe of the invention is obtained on diverse grounds, that is to say, wet, wet, or dry, flat or sloping and smooth or with reliefs, especially because of the effect "double crampon” or crampon size increased at the periphery of the openings.
- the damping layer improves the behavior of the sole assembly during a significant part, even the entirety, of its contact with the ground.
- the invention also improves the accuracy in the transmission of sensory information or pulses, because skidding is reduced or non-existent.
- the invention minimizes user fatigue by giving the outer sole a low mass, since the damping layer is light, and providing improved shock absorption.
- the shoe of the invention combines the ability of free unwinding and uniform grounding, sufficient adhesion on a regular floor, and adhesion or hanging on uneven ground.
- the shoe is therefore versatile, effective in all situations.
- the first embodiment that will be described after more specifically relates to shoes for walking or running flat or on rough ground.
- the invention applies to other fields such as those mentioned before.
- a walking shoe is provided to accommodate the foot of the user.
- the boot 1 comprises an outer sole 2, which extends in a longitudinal direction L between a rear end 3 and a front end 4, and in a transverse direction W between a lateral edge 5 and a medial edge 6.
- the sole assembly 2 comprises a rear portion, or heel 7, and a front portion 8.
- the sole assembly 2 is in one piece, in the direction in which the heel 7 and the front portion 8 extend. one another.
- these parts 7, 8 could be separated and spaced from each other.
- the shoe 1 comprises a rod 9 disposed on the sole.
- the rod 9 comprises a lower portion 10, provided to surround the foot, excluding an upper portion.
- the stem also comprises an upper portion.
- the rod 9 is not shown in detail.
- the rod 9 may comprise in particular a lateral quarter 12, a medial quarter 13, and a tongue.
- the latter not visible in the figures, connects the one to the other quarters 12, 13 to give the rod 9 its continuity. However, it could be planned not to use a tab. In this case, the neighborhoods 12, 13 may remain separate or superimposed.
- a clamping device is generally provided for clamping the rod 9 reversibly.
- the shoe 1 could be devoid of clamping device.
- the outer sole 2 has a contact face 20 with the ground.
- This face 20 is by definition intended to make contact with the ground or with various supports. More concretely, as we see better on the figure 2 the outer soleing 2 comprises a wear layer 21 provided to bear on the ground. It is this wear layer 21 which defines the contact face 20.
- the wear layer 21 is a one-piece piece, which extends from the rear end 3 to the front end 4, and from the side edge 5 to the medial edge 6. In fact the wear layer 21 extends along the entire contact face 20.
- the wear layer 21 is made of rubber. This material indeed offers good characteristics of adhesion to the ground. However, other synthetic materials offering equal or equivalent adhesion properties may also be suitable.
- the wear layer 21 has at least one through opening 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37. This means that the wear layer 21 is perforated, in the direction of its thickness, at each opening 31 to 37.
- the wear layer 21 has seven openings 31 to 37, but could alternatively have a lower number or a larger number. The openings lighten the outer sole 2.
- the latter further comprises at least one reinforcing layer 41 disposed between the wear layer 21 and the rod 9, the reinforcing layer 41 extending at least partially at the opening 31 to 37. More specifically, as regards the embodiment of the invention, the reinforcing layer 41 closes each opening 31 to 37 of the wear layer 21 on its side 42 opposite to the contact face 20. This provides resistance to perforations or intrusions for all openings 31 to 37.
- a damping layer 45 is disposed between the wear layer 21 and the reinforcing layer 41.
- the damping layer 45 dampens shocks, pulses or other stresses that pass through the outer sole assembly 2, particularly between the wear layer 21 and the reinforcing layer 41. Indeed, all or subdivisions of the damping layer 45 are deformed, elastically and reversibly, to allow a relative displacement of the wear layer 21 or subdivisions of this layer relative to the reinforcing layer 41.
- the deformations of the damping layer dissipate energy which, by corollary, increases the intensity of stress required to derail the shoe. They also allow a better adaptation of the layer of wear to various forms and terrain reliefs. In other words, the ground adhesion is better with the shoe of the invention.
- the damping layer 45 has at least one opening 51, 52, 53, 54, 55, 56 or 57. This gives this layer 45 a minimum mass. As a result, the shoe 1 remains light, and the wearer fatigue is reduced.
- At least one opening 51 to 57 of the damping layer 45 coincides with an opening 31 to 37 of the wear layer 21.
- an opening of the damping layer 45 is aligned. with an opening of the wear layer 21 in the direction of the thickness of the outer soleplate 2.
- the reinforcing layer 41 closes the open cavity formed together by an opening of the wear layer 21 and an opening of the Damping layer 45. It follows that the damping layer 45 dampens shocks or pulses at the periphery of an opening, or even all. This allows good adhesion of the shoe on uneven ground, especially when the wear layer 21 contacts a relief of the ground at an opening.
- each opening 51 to 57 of the damping layer 45 coincides with an opening 31 to 37 of the wear layer 21. Since the respective openings of the Damping layers 45 and wear 21 are distributed over the entire outer sole 2, the damping is efficient everywhere under the shoe.
- At least one opening 31 to 37 of the wear layer 21 is a transverse slot, that is to say oriented in the transverse direction W.
- This slot has a generally oblong shape having a certain dimension in the direction longitudinal, but could alternatively be rectangular, have a diamond shape, or other. In all cases, the slot promotes longitudinal bending of the outer sole 2, for a smooth running of the foot.
- each slot 31 to 37 is an open cavity on the side of the contact face 20, which cavity cooperates with the reliefs of rough terrain for better grip. Indeed, each circumference of a slot 31 to 37 forms an obstacle to inadvertent sliding, by cooperation with the relief.
- At least one opening 51 to 57 of the damping layer 45 is a transverse slot.
- the longitudinal flexion of the outer sole 2 is favored, for a smooth running of the foot.
- at least one slot of the damping layer is aligned with a slot of the wear layer.
- each slot 51 to 57 of the damping layer 45 is the extension of a slot 31 to 37 of the wear layer, in the direction of the thickness of the sole assembly 2.
- the contact face 20 advantageously has several lines or alignments of successive bumps and hollows as will be seen later, namely a first line 61, a second line 62, and a third 63, oriented in the longitudinal direction L. It could alternatively be provided only two lines or, conversely, more than three. For example four or five lines. In all cases the contact face 20 has a first line 61, the first line 61 having alternating bumps 71 to 78 and recesses 81 to 87.
- the contact face 20 has a second line 62, the second line 62 having an alternation of bumps 91 to 98 and hollows 101 to 107, the bumps 71 to 78 and the hollows 81 to 87 of the first line 61 being arranged alternately with respect to the bumps 91 to 98 and the recesses 101 to 107 of the second line 62.
- at least one hollow 101 to 107 of a line 62 is delimited, at its perimeter, by an opening 31 to 37 of the wear layer 21 and an opening 51 to 57 of the outer layer. 45.
- the second line 62 is contiguous with the first line 61, a bump of the second line being beside a hollow of the first line, and a hollow of the second line being adjacent to a hump of the second line.
- the hollows and bumps contiguous type are shifted in the longitudinal direction. This allows the outer sole 2 to unfold regularly and freely on a regular floor, to adhere sufficiently on this soil, and also to adhere or hang, reversibly, on uneven ground.
- the shoe according to the first embodiment is therefore versatile.
- the reinforcing layer 41 extends completely at the level of at least one opening 31 to 37 of the wear layer 21 and the associated opening 51 to 57 of the damping layer 45. This optimizes the resistance of the sole assembly 2 to the perforations and also protects the user's foot from contact with pebbles, reliefs.
- the damping layer 45 extends along the entire contact face 20.
- the damping layer 45 extends from the end 3 to the front end 4, as well as from the lateral edge 5 to the medial edge 6. This makes the behavior of the outer sole 2 homogeneous over the entire contact face 20.
- the damping layer 45 is made of a plastic foam. It may for example be EVA, acronym for ethyl vinyl acetate, or any equivalent material.
- the reinforcing layer 41 extends longitudinally at a value of between 30% (for example, the plate is only at the front) and 100% of the length of the sole assembly 2. This makes it possible to close the openings 31 to 37, and 51 to 57, without however occupying a zone devoid of opening. Here again it is a question of reducing as much as possible the mass of the outer soleing 2.
- the reinforcing layer 41 is made of a synthetic material. This is for example polyurethane, polyamide, or any comparable material.
- the thickness of the reinforcement 41 is between 0.1 and 2 mm, knowing that values between 0.2 and 0.6 mm have given good results. This combines puncture resistance and bending ability. The smooth running of the foot is preserved.
- a comfort layer 110 may also be arranged along the reinforcing layer 41 on the other side of the cushioning layer 45. In fact, this comfort layer 110 takes place between the damping layer 45 and a first mounting layer 111. It is a matter of optimizing the compromise between the transmission of pulses or sensory information and the comfort of the user's foot. It can have the same thickness as the cushioning layer 45 or be thicker to ensure the comfort of the foot.
- a cushioning layer 45 of an outer sole 2 with its ends 3, 4 and edges 5, 6.
- What is specific to the second embodiment is the manner in which the openings are closed. It is here used several layers of reinforcement, namely a first 121 and a second 122, arranged one towards the front of the sole assembly 2, and the other rearward. Each of these reinforcing layers 121, 122 can go to the medial edge 6, lateral 5 of the sole.
- This solution is suitable for a sole assembly that has a reduced number of openings or slots.
- a comfort layer 110 is also provided.
- the reinforcing layer 121, 122 extends longitudinally, for example, according to a value between 20 and 45% of the length of the sole assembly 2.
- the invention is made from materials and according to techniques of implementation. known to those skilled in the art.
Description
L'invention se rapporte à une chaussure, et concerne notamment une chaussure destinée à la pratique d'un sport.The invention relates to a shoe, and relates in particular to a shoe for the practice of a sport.
De telles chaussures peuvent être utilisées dans des domaines tels que la marche, sportive ou non, ou la course sur terrain plat ou en montagne, l'alpinisme, ou encore la planche à roues, un sport de balle, ou autre.Such shoes can be used in areas such as walking, sports or not, or running on flat terrain or in the mountains, mountaineering, or wheeling, a ball sport, or other.
Une chaussure peut comprendre une tige basse ou une tige haute. La chaussure peut aussi être relativement souple ou au contraire plus rigide. Cependant, quel que soit son aspect général ou l'activité pratiquée, la chaussure doit répondre aux attentes d'un utilisateur.A shoe may include a low or high shaft. The shoe can also be relatively flexible or on the contrary more rigid. However, whatever its general appearance or the activity practiced, the shoe must meet the expectations of a user.
Notamment, il est souhaitable que la chaussure minimise la fatigue de l'utilisateur. Cela amène naturellement à prévoir une structure de chaussure dont la masse est réduite. Cette caractéristique est importante dans tous les domaines évoqués avant, et particulièrement ceux de la course ou de la marche. En effet, une masse réduite est synonyme de faible inertie, et donc de moindre fatigue.In particular, it is desirable that the shoe minimizes user fatigue. This naturally leads to providing a shoe structure whose mass is reduced. This characteristic is important in all areas mentioned before, especially those of running or walking. Indeed, a reduced mass is synonymous with low inertia, and therefore less fatigue.
Afin de réduire la masse d'une chaussure, il est connu de ménager des ouvertures traversantes dans la couche d'usure (semelle de marche). Cette dernière, qui est prévue pour prendre appui au sol, est généralement constituée de caoutchouc, matériau qui comporte de grandes capacités d'adhérence, mais qui est de densité importante. C'est pourquoi des ouvertures peuvent être prévues pour alléger la couche d'usure, et la chaussure entière par voie de conséquence.To reduce the mass of a shoe, it is known to provide through openings in the wear layer (outsole). The latter, which is intended to support the ground, is generally made of rubber, a material which has high adhesion capacity, but which is of high density. This is why openings may be provided to lighten the wear layer, and the entire shoe accordingly.
Dans le domaine de la course ou dans celui de la marche, il est par exemple connu de réaliser des fentes transversales dans la couche d'usure. Ces fentes allègent la chaussure et favorisent aussi des flexions longitudinales du semelage externe, pour un bon déroulement du pied.In the field of running or walking, it is for example known to make transverse slots in the wear layer. These slots alleviate the shoe and also promote longitudinal flexing of the outer sole, for a good unwinding of the foot.
Les ouvertures de la couche d'usure sont cependant la source occasionnelle d'un problème de perforation. En effet, chaque ouverture constitue une interruption de la couche d'usure qui forme un passage pour tout corps étranger qui pourrait s'y loger. Il peut s'agir de portions minérales, de branches, de tout relief en saillie, ou encore de petits corps tels que des cailloux, des débris, ou autre. L'introduction d'un corps étranger dans une ouverture peut provoquer une déformation ou une détérioration du semelage externe, et éventuellement aussi des traumatismes au pied de l'utilisateur.The openings of the wear layer are, however, the occasional source of a perforation problem. Indeed, each opening is an interruption of the wear layer which forms a passage for any foreign body that could lodge there. It may be mineral portions, branches, any protruding relief, or small bodies such as pebbles, debris, or other. The introduction of a foreign body into an opening may cause deformation or deterioration of the outer sole, and possibly also trauma to the user's foot.
Pour pallier le problème de perforation, il est connu de boucher le fond d'une ouverture, en partie au moins, à l'aide d'une couche de renfort disposée entre la couche d'usure et le reste du semelage de la chaussure. La couche de renfort est généralement constituée d'une matière synthétique de faible épaisseur. Cela lui confère à la fois une résistance aux perforations et une masse réduite, pour préserver la légèreté du semelage.To overcome the problem of perforation, it is known to plug the bottom of an opening, at least in part, with a reinforcing layer disposed between the wear layer and the rest of the sole of the shoe. The reinforcing layer is generally made of a thin synthetic material. This gives it both a puncture resistance and a reduced mass, to preserve the lightness of the sole.
Au final une chaussure obtenue en ménageant des ouvertures dans sa couche d'usure est à la fois plus légère et résistante aux perforations. Cependant, elle présente l'inconvénient d'avoir une capacité d'adhérence au sol diminuée. Cela signifie qu'elle peut, par exemple, déraper lorsqu'elle est soumise à une sollicitation qui serait insuffisante pour faire déraper une chaussure de même pointure dépourvue d'ouverture. Ce phénomène de dérapage, ou de glissement intempestif, peut se produire lors de prises d'appuis au sol, notamment en pente, ainsi que lors d'impulsions liées à des accélérations, des freinages, ou autre. Il s'ensuit que la marche ou la course est moins précise, moins sûre et, ce qui est un paradoxe, source de fatigue pour l'utilisateur.Finally a shoe obtained by providing openings in its wear layer is both lighter and puncture resistant. However, it has the disadvantage of having a decreased ability to grip the ground. This means that it can, for example, skid when subjected to a solicitation that would be insufficient to derail a shoe of the same size without opening. This phenomenon of skidding, or accidental slippage, can occur during ground support, especially on slopes, as well as during pulses related to acceleration, braking, or other. It follows that walking or running is less precise, less secure and, what is a paradox, a source of fatigue for the user.
Les documents
Par rapport à cela, l'invention a pour but général d'améliorer les chaussures selon l'art antérieur. Notamment un but de l'invention est de faire en sorte qu'une chaussure, dont la couche d'usure du semelage externe présente au moins une ouverture traversante et une couche de renfort qui s'étend pour partie au moins au niveau de l'ouverture, présente des caractéristiques d'adhérence au sol au moins égales à celles d'une chaussure de même pointure, mais dont la couche d'usure ne présente pas d'ouverture traversante. En termes plus concis le but ci-avant recherché est d'augmenter l'adhérence au sol, malgré la diminution de surface de la couche d'usure/d'adhérence.With respect to this, the general object of the invention is to improve the shoes according to the prior art. In particular, it is an object of the invention to ensure that a shoe, the wear layer of the outer sole assembly has at least one through opening and a reinforcing layer which extends at least partially at the level of the opening, has characteristics of adhesion to the ground at least equal to those of a shoe of the same size, but whose wear layer does not have a through opening. In more concise terms, the aim sought above is to increase the adhesion to the ground, despite the decrease in the surface area of the wear / adhesion layer.
On verra par la suite qu'un autre but de l'invention est de décliner cette adhérence de manière large, c'est-à-dire de l'obtenir aussi bien sur des terrains mouillés, humides, ou souillés que sur des terrains plus prévisibles, tels que des terrains secs.It will be seen later that another object of the invention is to decline this adhesion in a broad manner, that is to say to obtain it as well on wet, wet, or soiled as on more land. predictable, such as dry land.
Un but encore de l'invention est d'apporter au niveau du semelage externe une certaine capacité d'amortissement. L'invention cherche à optimiser le comportement du semelage pendant l'intégralité, ou au moins une partie significative, de son contact avec le sol, en fonction de l'activité pratiquée, et/ou du terrain rencontré.A further object of the invention is to provide at the level of the outer sole a certain damping capacity. The invention seeks to optimize the behavior of the sole assembly during the entirety, or at least a significant part, of its contact with the ground, according to the activity practiced, and / or the terrain encountered.
Un autre but de l'invention est d'améliorer la précision dans la transmission des informations sensorielles ou des impulsions liées à la marche ou à la course.Another object of the invention is to improve the accuracy in the transmission of sensory information or pulses related to walking or running.
Un but encore de l'invention est de réduire autant que possible la masse du semelage externe.A further object of the invention is to reduce as much as possible the mass of the outer sole.
Enfin un but de l'invention est de rassembler en une seule chaussure les aptitudes de déroulement libre et régulier du semelage au sol, de l'adhérence suffisante sur un sol régulier, et de l'adhérence suffisante ou de l'accroche sur un sol irrégulier. Cela veut dire une chaussure polyvalente, plus efficace dans toutes les situations, et sur tous les terrains.Finally, an object of the invention is to gather in a single shoe the ability of free and steady unfolding of the sole on the ground, sufficient adhesion on a regular floor, and sufficient adhesion or grip on a floor irregular. It means a versatile shoe, more effective in all situations, and on all terrains.
Pour ce faire l'invention propose une chaussure comprenant un semelage externe et une tige, suivant la revendication 1. La couche d'amortissement amortit les chocs, les impulsions liées à la course ou à la marche, ou encore les informations sensorielles qui transitent entre la couche d'usure et la couche de renfort. En d'autres termes la couche d'amortissement sert de filtre mécanique. A ce titre cette couche permet de petits déplacements élastiques, qui se font de manière réversible, de subdivisions ou de la totalité de la couche d'usure par rapport à la couche de renfort.To do this, the invention provides a shoe comprising an outer sole and a rod, according to
Parce qu'elle se déforme élastiquement de manière réversible, notamment en compression et/ou en cisaillement, la couche d'amortissement absorbe des excès d'énergie liés à des appuis, à des chocs, à des impulsions, à des changements de terrain ou relief, ou au transit d'informations sensorielles. Il s'ensuit qu'il faut appliquer plus d'énergie au semelage externe, par rapport à une chaussure dépourvue de couche d'amortissement, pour obtenir un dérapage ou un glissement intempestif.Because it elastically deforms in a reversible manner, especially in compression and / or in shear, the damping layer absorbs excess energy related to bearings, shocks, pulses, changes of terrain or relief, or the transit of sensory information. It follows that it is necessary to apply more energy to the outer sole, compared to a shoe without a damping layer, to obtain a slip or inadvertent sliding.
Parmi les avantages qui en résultent, la chaussure selon l'invention présente une meilleure adhérence au sol qu'une chaussure dont le semelage est dépourvu de couche d'amortissement entre la couche d'usure et la couche de renfort.Among the advantages that result, the shoe according to the invention has a better adhesion to the ground that a shoe whose sole has no cushioning layer between the wear layer and the reinforcing layer.
L'amélioration de l'adhérence au sol, pour la chaussure de l'invention, est obtenue sur des terrains diversifiés, c'est-à-dire mouillés, humides, ou secs, plats ou en pente et lisses ou avec des reliefs, notamment du fait de l'effet "double crampon" ou crampon de taille augmentée au niveau du pourtour des ouvertures.The improvement of the adhesion to the ground, for the shoe of the invention, is obtained on diverse grounds, that is to say, wet, wet, or dry, flat or sloping and smooth or with reliefs, especially because of the effect "double crampon" or crampon size increased at the periphery of the openings.
Aussi, la couche d'amortissement améliore le comportement du semelage pendant une partie significative, voire l'intégralité, de son contact avec le sol.Also, the damping layer improves the behavior of the sole assembly during a significant part, even the entirety, of its contact with the ground.
L'invention améliore aussi la précision dans la transmission des informations sensorielles ou des impulsions, parce que les dérapages sont réduits, voire inexistants.The invention also improves the accuracy in the transmission of sensory information or pulses, because skidding is reduced or non-existent.
L'invention minimise la fatigue de l'utilisateur, en conférant au semelage externe une masse faible, car la couche d'amortissement est légère, et en procurant un amortissement amélioré des chocs.The invention minimizes user fatigue by giving the outer sole a low mass, since the damping layer is light, and providing improved shock absorption.
On verra mieux par la suite que, au moins pour une forme de réalisation, la chaussure de l'invention rassemble les aptitudes de déroulement libre et régulier du semelage au sol, de l'adhérence suffisante sur un sol régulier, et de l'adhérence suffisante ou de l'accroche sur un sol irrégulier. La chaussure est donc polyvalente, efficace dans toutes les situations.It will be seen later that, at least for one embodiment, the shoe of the invention combines the ability of free unwinding and uniform grounding, sufficient adhesion on a regular floor, and adhesion or hanging on uneven ground. The shoe is therefore versatile, effective in all situations.

La première forme de réalisation qui va être décrite après concerne plus spécialement des chaussures pour la marche ou la course à plat ou en terrain mouvementé. Cependant l'invention s'applique à d'autres domaines tels que ceux évoqués avant.The first embodiment that will be described after more specifically relates to shoes for walking or running flat or on rough ground. However, the invention applies to other fields such as those mentioned before.
La première forme est décrite ci-après à l'aide des
Comme le montrent les
De manière connue et générale, la chaussure 1 comprend un semelage externe 2, lequel s'étend selon une direction longitudinale L entre une extrémité arrière 3 et une extrémité avant 4, et selon une direction transversale W entre un bord latéral 5 et un bord médial 6. Le semelage 2 comprend une partie arrière, ou talon 7, ainsi qu'une partie avant 8. Selon la première forme de réalisation le semelage 2 est monobloc, dans le sens où le talon 7 et la partie avant 8 se prolongent l'un l'autre. Cependant, ces parties 7, 8 pourraient être séparées et espacées l'une de l'autre.In known and general manner, the
En complément la chaussure 1 comprend une tige 9 disposée sur le semelage. Telle que représentée la tige 9 comprend une portion basse 10, prévue pour entourer le pied, à l'exclusion d'une portion haute. Cependant, il pourrait être également prévu que la tige comprenne aussi une portion haute. La tige 9 n'est pas représentée de façon détaillée.In addition, the
La tige 9 peut comprendre notamment un quartier latéral 12, un quartier médial 13, et une languette. Cette dernière, non visible sur les figures, relie l'un à l'autre les quartiers 12, 13 pour donner à la tige 9 sa continuité. Cependant, il pourrait être prévu de ne pas utiliser de languette. Dans ce cas, les quartiers 12, 13 peuvent rester séparés ou se superposer.The
Un dispositif de serrage, non détaillé ici, est généralement prévu pour serrer la tige 9 de manière réversible. Cependant, la chaussure 1 pourrait être dépourvue de dispositif de serrage.A clamping device, not detailed here, is generally provided for clamping the
Quelle que soit la structure de la tige, le semelage externe 2 présente une face de contact 20 avec le sol. Cette face 20 est par définition destinée à prendre contact avec le sol ou avec divers supports. De manière plus concrète, comme on le voit mieux sur la
Selon l'invention, la couche d'usure 21 est une pièce monobloc, qui s'étend depuis l'extrémité arrière 3 jusqu'à l'extrémité avant 4, et depuis le bord latéral 5 jusqu'au bord médial 6. En fait, la couche d'usure 21 s'étend selon la totalité de la face de contact 20.According to the invention, the
De manière non limitative, la couche d'usure 21 est constituée de caoutchouc. Ce matériau offre en effet de bonnes caractéristiques d'adhérence au sol. Cependant d'autres matières synthétiques offrant des propriétés d'adhérence égales ou équivalentes peuvent également convenir.Without limitation, the
Selon la forme de réalisation décrite, la couche d'usure 21 présente au moins une ouverture traversante 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37. Cela signifie que la couche d'usure 21 est ajourée, dans le sens de son épaisseur, au niveau de chaque ouverture 31 à 37. Ici la couche d'usure 21 présente sept ouvertures 31 à 37, mais pourrait alternativement en présenter un nombre inférieur ou un nombre supérieur. Les ouvertures allègent le semelage externe 2.According to the embodiment described, the
Ce dernier comprend en plus au moins une couche de renfort 41 disposée entre la couche d'usure 21 et la tige 9, la couche de renfort 41 s'étendant pour partie au moins au niveau de l'ouverture 31 à 37. Plus précisément, en ce qui concerne la forme de réalisation de l'invention, la couche de renfort 41 obture chaque ouverture 31 à 37 de la couche d'usure 21 de son côté 42 opposé à la face de contact 20. Cela apporte une résistance aux perforations ou aux intrusions pour l'ensemble des ouvertures 31 à 37.The latter further comprises at least one reinforcing
Selon l'invention, une couche d'amortissement 45 est disposée entre la couche d'usure 21 et la couche de renfort 41. La couche d'amortissement 45 amortit les chocs, les impulsions ou autres sollicitations qui transitent dans le semelage externe 2, notamment entre la couche d'usure 21 et la couche de renfort 41. En effet, la totalité ou des subdivisions de la couche d'amortissement 45 se déforment, élastiquement et de manière réversible, pour permettre un déplacement relatif de la couche d'usure 21 ou de subdivisions de cette couche par rapport à la couche de renfort 41. Les déformations de la couche d'amortissement dissipent de l'énergie ce qui, par corollaire, accroît l'intensité de sollicitation nécessaire pour faire déraper la chaussure. Elles permettent également une meilleure adaptation de la couche d'usure aux divers formes et reliefs de terrain. En d'autres termes, l'adhérence au sol est meilleure avec la chaussure de l'invention.According to the invention, a damping
Selon la forme de réalisation toujours, comme on le comprend à l'aide de l'ensemble des
D'une manière générale, au moins une ouverture 51 à 57 de la couche d'amortissement 45 coïncide avec une ouverture 31 à 37 de la couche d'usure 21. Cela signifie qu'une ouverture de la couche d'amortissement 45 est alignée avec une ouverture de la couche d'usure 21 dans le sens de l'épaisseur du semelage externe 2. En conséquence la couche de renfort 41 bouche la cavité ouverte formée ensemble par une ouverture de la couche d'usure 21 et une ouverture de la couche d'amortissement 45. Il s'ensuit que la couche d'amortissement 45 amortit les chocs ou les impulsions à la périphérie d'une ouverture, voire de toutes. Cela permet une bonne adhérence de la chaussure sur des terrains accidentés, notamment quand la couche d'usure 21 contacte un relief du sol au niveau d'une ouverture.In general, at least one
Afin d'optimiser cette notion d'amortissement, et de manière non limitative, chaque ouverture 51 à 57 de la couche d'amortissement 45 coïncide avec une ouverture 31 à 37 de la couche d'usure 21. Etant donné que les ouvertures respectives des couches d'amortissement 45 et d'usure 21 sont réparties sur l'ensemble du semelage externe 2, l'amortissement est efficient partout sous la chaussure.In order to optimize this notion of damping, and in a nonlimiting manner, each opening 51 to 57 of the damping
On observe qu'au moins une ouverture 31 à 37 de la couche d'usure 21 est une fente transversale, c'est-à-dire orientée selon la direction transversale W. Cette fente présente une forme générale oblongue ayant une certaine dimension en direction longitudinale, mais pourrait alternativement être rectangulaire, avoir une forme de losange, ou autre. Dans tous les cas, la fente favorise une flexion longitudinale du semelage externe 2, pour un bon déroulement du pied. Aussi, chaque fente 31 à 37 est une cavité ouverte du côté de la face de contact 20, cavité qui coopère avec les reliefs des terrains accidentés pour une meilleure accroche. En effet, chaque pourtour d'une fente 31 à 37 forme un obstacle aux glissements intempestifs, par coopération avec le relief.It is observed that at least one
Par corollaire, dans le but d'optimiser les caractéristiques mécaniques du semelage externe 2, au moins une ouverture 51 à 57 de la couche d'amortissement 45 est une fente transversale. Là encore la flexion longitudinale du semelage externe 2 est favorisée, pour un bon déroulement du pied. Selon la première forme de réalisation il est prévu, comme précisé avant de manière générale, qu'au moins une fente de la couche d'amortissement soit alignée avec une fente de la couche d'usure. De manière non limitative en fait chaque fente 51 à 57 de la couche d'amortissement 45 est le prolongement d'une fente 31 à 37 de la couche d'usure, dans le sens de l'épaisseur du semelage 2.By corollary, in order to optimize the mechanical characteristics of the outer
Toujours selon la forme de réalisation de l'invention, la face de contact 20 présente avantageusement plusieurs lignes ou alignements de bosses et creux successifs ainsi qu'on le verra plus loin, à savoir une première ligne 61, une deuxième ligne 62, et une troisième 63, orientées selon la direction longitudinale L. Il pourrait alternativement être prévu seulement deux lignes ou, au contraire, plus de trois. Par exemple quatre ou cinq lignes. Dans tous les cas la face de contact 20 présente une première ligne 61, la première ligne 61 présentant une alternance de bosses 71 à 78 et de creux 81 à 87. La face de contact 20 présente une deuxième ligne 62, la deuxième ligne 62 présentant une alternance de bosses 91 à 98 et de creux 101 à 107, les bosses 71 à 78 et les creux 81 à 87 de la première ligne 61 étant disposés en alternance par rapport aux bosses 91 à 98 et aux creux 101 à 107 de la deuxième ligne 62. De plus au moins un creux 101 à 107 d'une ligne 62 est délimité, au niveau de son périmètre, par une ouverture 31 à 37 de la couche d'usure 21 et par une ouverture 51 à 57 de la couche d'amortissement 45. La deuxième ligne 62 est contigüe à la première ligne 61, une bosse de la deuxième ligne étant à côté d'un creux de la première ligne, et un creux de la deuxième ligne étant à côté d'une bosse de la première ligne. Les creux et bosses de type contigüe sont donc décalés en direction longitudinale. Cela permet au semelage externe 2 de se dérouler régulièrement et librement sur un sol régulier, d'adhérer suffisamment sur ce sol, et d'adhérer aussi ou d'accrocher, de manière réversible, sur un sol irrégulier. La chaussure selon la première forme de réalisation est donc polyvalente.Still according to the embodiment of the invention, the
En complément on observe que la couche de renfort 41 s'étend en totalité au niveau d'au moins une ouverture 31 à 37 de la couche d'usure 21 et de l'ouverture associée 51 à 57 de la couche d'amortissement 45. Cela optimise la résistance du semelage 2 aux perforations et protège également le pied de l'utilisateur du contact avec des cailloux, des reliefs.In addition, it can be observed that the reinforcing
A l'instar de la couche d'usure 21, la couche d'amortissement 45 s'étend selon la totalité de la face de contact 20. En d'autres termes, la couche d'amortissement 45 s'étend depuis l'extrémité arrière 3 jusqu'à l'extrémité avant 4, ainsi que depuis le bord latéral 5 jusqu'au bord médial 6. Cela rend le comportement du semelage externe 2 homogène sur toute la face de contact 20.Like the
De manière non limitative, la couche d'amortissement 45 est constituée d'une mousse de matière plastique. Il peut par exemple s'agir d'EVA, acronyme d'éthyle-vinyle-acétate, ou de tout matériau équivalent.In a nonlimiting manner, the damping
La couche de renfort 41, quant à elle, s'étend longitudinalement selon une valeur comprise entre 30% (par exemple la plaque est seulement à l'avant) et 100% de la longueur du semelage 2. Cela permet d'obturer les ouvertures 31 à 37, et 51 à 57, sans toutefois occuper une zone dépourvue d'ouverture. Là encore il s'agit de réduire autant que possible la masse du semelage externe 2.The reinforcing
De manière non limitative, la couche de renfort 41 est constituée d'une matière synthétique. Il s'agit par exemple de polyuréthane, de polyamide, ou de tout matériau comparable. L'épaisseur du renfort 41 est comprise entre 0,1 et 2 mm, sachant que des valeurs comprises entre 0,2 et 0,6 mm ont donné de bons résultats. Cela conjugue résistance aux perforations et aptitude à la flexion. Le bon déroulement du pied est donc préservé.In a nonlimiting manner, the reinforcing
Comme on le voit sur les
La deuxième forme de réalisation, qui ne fait pas partie de l'invention, est présentée ci-après à l'aide de la
On retrouve une couche d'amortissement 45 d'un semelage externe 2, avec ses extrémités 3, 4 et ses bords 5, 6. Ce qui est spécifique à la deuxième forme de réalisation, c'est la manière dont sont obturées les ouvertures. Il est ici fait appel à plusieurs couches de renfort, à savoir une première 121 et une deuxième 122, disposées l'une vers l'avant du semelage 2, et l'autre vers l'arrière. Chacune de ces couches de renfort 121, 122 peut aller jusqu'au bord respectivement médial 6, latéral 5 de la semelle. Cette solution convient à un semelage qui présente un nombre d'ouvertures, ou de fentes, réduit. Bien entendu une couche de confort 110 est également prévue.There is a
Dans chaque cas la couche de renfort 121, 122 s'étend longitudinalement, par exemple, selon une valeur comprise entre 20 et 45% de la longueur du semelage 2. L'invention est réalisée à partir de matériaux et selon des techniques de mise en oeuvre connues de l'homme du métier.In each case the reinforcing
Bien entendu l'invention n'est pas limitée à la forme de réalisation ci-avant décrite, et comprend tous les équivalents techniques pouvant entrer dans la portée des revendications qui vont suivre.Naturally, the invention is not limited to the embodiment described above, and includes all technical equivalents that fall within the scope of the claims that follow.
