- a first example is that of a shoe that includes an outer shell, as the first element, and a shoe, as a second element.
- the outer casing has properties such as gait-related wear resistance, abrasion resistance, shock-absorbing ability, ability to cooperate with a crampon, sealing, or the like.
- the slipper meanwhile can provide a certain comfort with respect to the wrapping of the foot, thermal insulation, or other.
- the slipper can be equipped with a sole to walk in a mountain hut.
- a second example is that of a shoe that includes an outer shell, as the first element, and an inner shoe, as the second element.
- the outer shell is an overshoe which brings additional properties to the inner shoe.
- the outer casing may comprise a high stem and have a good seal.
- the inner shoe is sufficient for itself to practice walking or running, except in cases where additional ability such as sealing is necessary.
- an internal shoe according to the second example which can be low-stemmed, the user can adopt a sporting or intense practice.
- it can combine the first and second elements to adapt to different conditions, for example in the rain or in the snow.
- One advantage is to have the least weight on each foot when looking for performance.
- the known shoes provide a certain comfort, and allow transmission of impulses and sensory information. This makes walking, running or driving a globally efficient craft. However, it sometimes happens that the comfort is insufficient, and / or that the transmission of impulses and sensory information is incomplete.
- the prior art has for example provided to conform the outer envelope of the second element according to the inner envelope of the first element, so that one fits into the other. precisely. But despite the care given to such achievements, we still observe inadvertent movements of the second footwear element in the first.
- the invention generally aims to improve a shoe for practices mentioned in the preamble.
- the invention aims to optimize the comfort of the shoe. More precisely, the invention seeks to reduce, or even eliminate, unwanted movements of the second footwear element within the first.
- the invention seeks to optimize the transmission of impulses and sensory information.
- the invention proposes a shoe comprising a first footwear element and a second footwear element, the second footwear element being designed to be inserted into the first footwear element in a removable manner, the first footwear element extending in length. from a rear end to a front end, in width between a lateral side and a medial side, and in height from a base to an upper end, the second foot piece extending in length from a rear end to at a front end, in width between a lateral side and a medial side, and in height from a base to an upper end.
- the shoe according to the invention is characterized in that it comprises a retaining means of the rear end of the second footwear element at the rear end of the first footwear element.
- the retaining means retains with great precision, or even completely, the rear end of the second footwear element relative to the rear end of the first footwear element.
- the restraint is made according to the height, in a direction perpendicular to the base. It follows that the parasitic movements between the rear ends of the two elements, are very weak or even nonexistent.
- the second footwear element in its entirety is better maintained inside the first.
- the invention has improved a shoe intended for the practices mentioned in the preamble.
- the first embodiment that will be described after relates for example to a walking shoe or mountain to evolve on a regular floor or mountainous terrain.
- the invention applies to other fields such as those mentioned before.
- the first embodiment is described using the Figures 1 to 7 .
- a walking shoe 1 is provided to accommodate the foot of the user.
- the boot 1 comprises a first footwear element 2 and a second footwear element 3, the second footwear element 3 being provided to be inserted into the first footwear element.
- the first footwear element 2 is an outer element, directly exposed to possible contact with obstacles and can sometimes receive splashes of water, snow or ice.
- the second footwear element 3 is an inner member, adapted to be inserted into the first element removably. This means that the user can, at will, place the second element 3 in the first or, on the contrary, remove it.
- the first footwear element 2 extends in length, in a longitudinal direction L, from a rear end or heel 4 to a front end or point 5, in width, in a transverse direction W, between a lateral side 6 and a medial side 7, and in height from a base 8 to an upper end 9.
- the first footwear element 2 comprises a lower portion 10, provided to cover the foot, and a high portion 11, provided to cover the ankle and possibly a portion of the lower leg of the user. It could, alternatively, be provided only the lower portion 10 to the exclusion of any high portion. But, according to the first embodiment, the idea is to make the first footwear element 2 capable of protecting the second element and, more broadly, the foot and a part of the lower leg, against splashing water, snow , pieces of ice, or other foreign bodies.
- the second footwear element 3 in turn, extends in length, in the longitudinal direction L, from a rear end or heel 14 to a front end or tip 15, in width, in the transverse direction W, between a lateral side 16 and a medial side 17, and in height from a base 18 to an upper end 19.
- the second footwear element 3 comprises a lower portion 12, provided to cover the foot, and a high portion 13, provided to cover the ankle and possibly a portion of the lower leg of the user. It could, alternatively, be provided only the lower portion 12 to the exclusion of any high portion.
- the upper portion 13 of the second element 3 is less high than the upper portion 11 of the first element 2. This allows the latter to grip the lower leg directly above the second element for a better seal .
- the second footwear element 3 when used alone, allows better sports performance, because its reduced height generates a reduction in mass, compared to an equivalent element but the height would be greater.
- the shoe 1 comprises a retaining means 20 of the rear end 14 of the second footwear element 3 at the rear end 4 of the first footwear element 2.
- This means 20 which will be detailed later, strongly limits, or completely prevents, relative movements of the respective ends 4, 14 of the first 2 and second 3 footwear elements. That is to say that by the invention the second footwear element 3 is better maintained in the first footwear element 2, in comparison with a shoe according to the prior art.
- the resulting benefits include reduced user fatigue, better sports performance, and increased safety.
- the retaining means 20 comprises a first part 21 associated with the first footwear element 2, as well as a second component 22 associated with the second footwear element 3 , the first piece 21 and the second piece 22 having complementary shapes. It will be seen better later that the complementarity of the shapes of the parts 21, 22 allows one to be supported on the other, or vice versa, so that the mechanical games are minimal or even zero. This advantageously optimizes the transmission of pulses and sensory information at the first 2 and second 3 elements.
- the first piece 21 is an internal abutment, which protrudes forwardly, inside the first footwear element 2.
- the abutment 21 here is a square, which comprises a first branch 23, secured to the rear end 4 of the first footwear element 2, and a second leg 24, provided to cooperate with the second footwear element 3 as will be seen.
- the second piece 22 is a tip, which protrudes rearwardly, outside the second footwear element 3.
- the second element 3 comprises an outer sole 25 and a stem. 26.
- the rear nozzle 22 is a subdivision of the outer sole 25, which subdivision projects rearwardly beyond the rod 26.
- the tip 22 has an active face 27, intended to come into contact with the stop 21.
- the active face 27 is here parallel to the outer sole 25.
- the introduction of the second footwear element 3 in the first 2, or its withdrawal is at the rear end 4 thereof. It is why the first footwear element 2 has a rear opening 30.
- the introduction of the second element 3 in the first 2 is made by the opening 30, when it is disengaged, in the longitudinal direction L.
- the withdrawal of the second element 3, meanwhile, is made also by the opening but towards the back. Introduction and withdrawal are natural movements that are easy to perform.
- the structure of the front part of the first footwear element 2 is continuous, for a better seal.
- the lower portion 10 has a continuous structure, that is to say without opening, in front of the upper portion 11. It advantageously follows that the foreign bodies can in no way enter the first footwear element 2 during the walk.
- the opening 30 is a wide cut, to facilitate the passage of the second footwear element 3.
- the opening has a width equal to or greater than three centimeters.
- the width of the opening may be equal to the width of the first footwear element 2, at the rear end 4.
- the first footwear element 2 comprises a tongue 31 for closing the opening, as well as connecting means 32, 33 of the tongue to the rest of the first footwear element. It is thus possible to maintain the second element 3 in the first 2 after introduction.
- the connecting means 32, 33 comprise two zippers, namely a lateral closure 32 and a medial closure 33.
- Each closure 32, 33 extends in the direction of the height from the base 8 to the upper end 9. This allows a total clearance of the tongue 31 backwards, for easier passage of the second footwear element 3 through the opening 30.
- figure 5 it is observed that when the second footwear element 3 is housed in the first 2, with the tongue 31 held by the slideways in the closed position of the opening 30, then the stop 21 is in contact with the endpiece 22. In fact closing the opening 30 causes immobilization of the heel 14 of the second footwear element 3 relative to the heel 4 of the first footwear element 2. This allows precise transmission of the pulses and sensory information at the heel of the user.
- the internal volume of the lower portion 10 of the first footwear element 2 is equal to, or barely greater than, the external volume of the lower portion 12 of the second footwear element 3. This allows a precise maintenance of the second footwear element 3 in the first 2. Good results have been obtained when the internal volume mentioned above is between 100 and 110% of the external volume also mentioned. The precise adjustment of the volumes requires precision to enter the second footwear element 3 in the first 2.
- the shoe 1 comprises a guide 34 for the introduction of the second element 3 in the first.
- the guide 34 is a rigid plate located at the rear end 4 of the first footwear element 2.
- the guide is secured to the tongue 31, above the stop 21. This means that the guide 34 is further away from the base 8 than is the stop.
- the guide 34 has the function of pushing the tip 22 forward of the stop, when the heel 14 of the second footwear element 3 is lowered towards the base 8 of the first footwear element 2.
- the heel 14 is lowered while the slides 32, 33 are in the open position, with the tongue 31 released back.
- the tip 22 is sufficiently lowered towards the base 8, as on the figure 5 it can cooperate with the stop 21 as we have seen.
- the guide 34 thus assists in donning and, as such, plays the role of a shoehorn.
- the guide 34 and the first piece 21 of the retaining means 20 are connected to each other.
- the guide 34 and the stop 21 which are linked to each other. This facilitates their cooperation.
- the shoe 1 can be used in its entirety, that is to say that the user can walk when the second footwear element 3 is inserted in the first 2, or alternatively, be used partially. In this case the user evolves with the only second footwear element.
- a sports machine such as a crampon 41.
- the crampon 41 comprises, within the meaning of the standard NF EN 893: 2011-01, a body 42 which extends in length from a rear end 44 to a front end 45, in width from a first transverse edge 46 to at a second transverse edge 47, and in height between a bearing face 48 and a receiving face 49.
- the bearing face carries tips 50, designed to anchor in the ground, and the receiving face 49 receives the boot 1.
- the crampon 41 comprises a fastener, with a front retaining means 51 and a rear retaining means 52.
- the rear retaining means 52 comprises a mechanism locking 53 with, in particular, a jaw 54 intended to cooperate with the shoe 1 as we will see.
- the first footwear element 2 comprises an outer stopper 61 designed to receive the jaw 54.
- the outer stopper 61 is constituted by the second limb 24 of the internal stop 21.
- the second branch 24 has two opposite faces, one of which forms the internal stop 21, and the other forms the external stop 61.
- This allows a direct transmission of the driving pulses. , as well as sensory information, between the rear retention means 52 and the second footwear element 3.
- the ground support is therefore precise and reliable.
- the internal abutment 21, the outer abutment 61 and the guide 34 form a one-piece piece, made for example of synthetic material, such as a reinforced plastic material or not.
- the one-piece piece is a subdivision of a rear portion 31 of the first member 2, this part here being the tongue.
- FIG. 8 there is a shoe 1 with, in particular, the first footwear element 2 and the one-piece piece.
- the rear opening is a slot 65.
- This can be closed by any appropriate means but, according to the second embodiment, a zipper 66 closes the slot 65. This simplifies the manufacturing. It is observed that the slot 65, as well as the slide 66, are in an oblique position at the rear of the shoe.
- the first footwear element 2 has a front opening 67, closed by any appropriate means such as a slide 68 , the front opening 67 being for example a slot.
- Any stem or sole structure may be provided for each of the footwear elements 2, 3, with possibly stem clamping devices.

Abstract
Description
L'invention se rapporte à une chaussure comprenant un premier élément chaussant ainsi qu'un deuxième élément chaussant, le deuxième élément chaussant étant prévu pour être inséré dans le premier élément chaussant. L'invention se rapporte aussi à un ensemble comprenant un crampon ainsi qu'une chaussure à deux éléments chaussants.The invention relates to a shoe comprising a first footwear element and a second footwear element, the second footwear element being intended to be inserted into the first footwear element. The invention also relates to an assembly comprising a crampon and a shoe with two footwear elements.
La chaussure peut être utilisée dans des domaines tels que la marche ou la course sur un terrain horizontal ou en montagne, l'alpinisme, le ski sur neige, la raquette à neige, ou autre.The shoe can be used in areas such as walking or running on horizontal terrain or in the mountains, mountaineering, skiing on snow, snowshoeing, or whatever.
Pour les utilisations envisagées il s'agit d'accueillir le pied avec un confort suffisant, tout en permettant une transmission précise des impulsions et des informations sensorielles liées à la marche, à la course, ou à la conduite d'un engin. C'est important par exemple en marche ou en alpinisme, activités pour lesquelles les performances d'un utilisateur sont conditionnées entre autres par ces facteurs.For the intended uses it is to accommodate the foot with sufficient comfort, while allowing accurate transmission of impulses and sensory information related to walking, running, or driving a machine. This is important for example when walking or mountaineering, activities for which the performance of a user is conditioned among other things by these factors.
Il est connu depuis longtemps de fabriquer une chaussure qui comprend un premier élément chaussant ainsi qu'un deuxième élément chaussant, le deuxième élément chaussant étant prévu pour être inséré dans le premier élément chaussant de manière amovible.It has long been known to manufacture a shoe that includes a first footwear element and a second footwear element, the second footwear element being adapted to be inserted into the first footwear removably.
Un premier exemple est celui d'une chaussure qui comprend une enveloppe externe, en tant que premier élément, ainsi qu'un chausson, en tant que deuxième élément. L'enveloppe externe présente des propriétés comme une résistance à l'usure liée à la marche, une résistance à l'abrasion, une aptitude à amortir des chocs, une aptitude à coopérer avec un crampon, une certaine étanchéité, ou autre. Le chausson quant à lui peut apporter un certain confort en ce qui concerne l'enveloppement du pied, une isolation thermique, ou autre. Le chausson peut être muni d'un semelage pour marcher dans un refuge en montagne.A first example is that of a shoe that includes an outer shell, as the first element, and a shoe, as a second element. The outer casing has properties such as gait-related wear resistance, abrasion resistance, shock-absorbing ability, ability to cooperate with a crampon, sealing, or the like. The slipper meanwhile can provide a certain comfort with respect to the wrapping of the foot, thermal insulation, or other. The slipper can be equipped with a sole to walk in a mountain hut.
Un deuxième exemple est celui d'une chaussure qui comprend une enveloppe externe, en tant que premier élément, ainsi qu'une chaussure interne, en tant que deuxième élément. Ici l'enveloppe externe est une surchaussure qui apporte des propriétés supplémentaires à la chaussure interne. Notamment l'enveloppe externe peut comprendre une tige haute et présenter une bonne étanchéité. La chaussure interne, quant à elle, se suffit à elle-même pour pratiquer la marche ou la course, sauf dans les cas où une aptitude supplémentaire telle que l'étanchéité est nécessaire. Avec une chaussure interne selon le deuxième exemple, qui peut être à tige basse, l'utilisateur peut adopter une pratique sportive ou intense. Alternativement, si nécessaire, il peut associer les premier et deuxième éléments pour s'adapter à des conditions différentes, par exemple sous la pluie ou dans la neige. Un avantage est d'avoir le minimum de poids à chaque pied lorsqu'il recherche des performances.A second example is that of a shoe that includes an outer shell, as the first element, and an inner shoe, as the second element. Here the outer shell is an overshoe which brings additional properties to the inner shoe. In particular, the outer casing may comprise a high stem and have a good seal. The inner shoe, in turn, is sufficient for itself to practice walking or running, except in cases where additional ability such as sealing is necessary. With an internal shoe according to the second example, which can be low-stemmed, the user can adopt a sporting or intense practice. Alternatively, if necessary, it can combine the first and second elements to adapt to different conditions, for example in the rain or in the snow. One advantage is to have the least weight on each foot when looking for performance.
Dans tous les cas où le deuxième élément chaussant est en place dans le premier, les chaussures connues apportent un certain confort, et permettent une transmission d'impulsions et d'informations sensorielles. Cela rend la marche, la course ou la conduite d'un engin globalement efficace. Cependant, il arrive parfois que le confort soit insuffisant, et/ou que la transmission d'impulsions et d'informations sensorielles soit incomplète.In all cases where the second footwear element is in place in the first, the known shoes provide a certain comfort, and allow transmission of impulses and sensory information. This makes walking, running or driving a globally efficient craft. However, it sometimes happens that the comfort is insufficient, and / or that the transmission of impulses and sensory information is incomplete.
Cela se produit par exemple lorsque le deuxième élément chaussant bouge à l'intérieur du premier, avec des petits déplacements qui nuisent au confort et à la précision.This happens for example when the second footwear element moves inside the first, with small displacements that affect comfort and accuracy.
Pour maintenir le deuxième élément chaussant dans le premier, l'art antérieur a par exemple prévu de conformer l'enveloppe externe du deuxième élément en fonction de l'enveloppe interne du premier élément, pour que l'un s'emboîte dans l'autre avec précision. Mais malgré les soins apportés à de telles réalisations, on observe encore des déplacements intempestifs du deuxième élément chaussant dans le premier.To maintain the second footwear element in the first, the prior art has for example provided to conform the outer envelope of the second element according to the inner envelope of the first element, so that one fits into the other. precisely. But despite the care given to such achievements, we still observe inadvertent movements of the second footwear element in the first.
Il apparaît donc que les chaussures selon l'art antérieur ne sont pas totalement satisfaisantes, dans le sens où elles n'apportent pas un confort suffisant dans toutes les situations, et dans le sens où elles ne permettent pas une transmission totale des impulsions et des informations sensorielles.It therefore appears that the shoes according to the prior art are not totally satisfactory, in the sense that they do not provide sufficient comfort in all situations, and in the sense that they do not allow a total transmission of the pulses and the sensory information.
Par rapport à cela l'invention a pour but général d'améliorer une chaussure destinée aux pratiques évoquées en préambule. Notamment l'invention a pour but d'optimiser le confort de la chaussure. Plus précisément l'invention cherche à réduire, voire à supprimer, les mouvements intempestifs du deuxième élément chaussant à l'intérieur du premier.In relation to this the invention generally aims to improve a shoe for practices mentioned in the preamble. In particular, the invention aims to optimize the comfort of the shoe. More precisely, the invention seeks to reduce, or even eliminate, unwanted movements of the second footwear element within the first.
Dans le même esprit l'invention cherche à optimiser la transmission des impulsions et des informations sensorielles.In the same spirit the invention seeks to optimize the transmission of impulses and sensory information.
Pour ce faire, l'invention propose une chaussure comprenant un premier élément chaussant ainsi qu'un deuxième élément chaussant, le deuxième élément chaussant étant prévu pour être inséré dans le premier élément chaussant de manière amovible, le premier élément chaussant s'étendant en longueur depuis une extrémité arrière jusqu'à une extrémité avant, en largeur entre un côté latéral et un côté médial, et en hauteur depuis une base jusqu'à une extrémité supérieure, le deuxième élément chaussant s'étendant en longueur depuis une extrémité arrière jusqu'à une extrémité avant, en largeur entre un côté latéral et un côté médial, et en hauteur depuis une base jusqu'à une extrémité supérieure.To do this, the invention proposes a shoe comprising a first footwear element and a second footwear element, the second footwear element being designed to be inserted into the first footwear element in a removable manner, the first footwear element extending in length. from a rear end to a front end, in width between a lateral side and a medial side, and in height from a base to an upper end, the second foot piece extending in length from a rear end to at a front end, in width between a lateral side and a medial side, and in height from a base to an upper end.
La chaussure selon l'invention est caractérisée par le fait qu'elle comprend un moyen de retenue de l'extrémité arrière du deuxième élément chaussant à l'extrémité arrière du premier élément chaussant.The shoe according to the invention is characterized in that it comprises a retaining means of the rear end of the second footwear element at the rear end of the first footwear element.
Le moyen de retenue retient avec une grande précision, voire totalement, l'extrémité arrière du deuxième élément chaussant par rapport à l'extrémité arrière du premier élément chaussant. Notamment la retenue se fait selon la hauteur, dans une direction perpendiculaire à la base. Il en découle que les mouvements parasites, entre les extrémités arrière des deux éléments, sont très faibles ou même inexistants. De manière complémentaire on observe que le deuxième élément chaussant dans sa totalité est mieux maintenu à l'intérieur du premier. Parmi les avantages qui en découlent, on peut citer un meilleur confort global de la chaussure selon l'invention, ainsi qu'une meilleure perception des appuis et une meilleure transmission des informations sensorielles.The retaining means retains with great precision, or even completely, the rear end of the second footwear element relative to the rear end of the first footwear element. In particular the restraint is made according to the height, in a direction perpendicular to the base. It follows that the parasitic movements between the rear ends of the two elements, are very weak or even nonexistent. In a complementary manner it is observed that the second footwear element in its entirety is better maintained inside the first. Among the advantages that result therefrom include better overall comfort of the shoe according to the invention, as well as a better perception of support and better transmission of sensory information.
On peut dire d'une manière générale que l'invention a amélioré une chaussure destinée aux pratiques évoquées en préambule.In general, it can be said that the invention has improved a shoe intended for the practices mentioned in the preamble.

La première forme de réalisation qui va être décrite après concerne par exemple une chaussure de marche ou de montagne, pour évoluer sur un sol régulier ou sur un terrain montagneux. Cependant l'invention s'applique à d'autres domaines tels que ceux évoqués avant.The first embodiment that will be described after relates for example to a walking shoe or mountain to evolve on a regular floor or mountainous terrain. However, the invention applies to other fields such as those mentioned before.
La première forme de réalisation est décrite à l'aide des
Comme le montrent notamment les
Le premier élément chaussant 2 s'étend en longueur, selon une direction longitudinale L, depuis une extrémité arrière ou talon 4 jusqu'à une extrémité avant ou pointe 5, en largeur, selon une direction transversale W, entre un côté latéral 6 et un côté médial 7, et en hauteur depuis une base 8 jusqu'à une extrémité supérieure 9.The
Tel que représenté le premier élément chaussant 2 comprend une portion basse 10, prévue pour couvrir le pied, ainsi qu'une portion haute 11, prévue pour couvrir la cheville et éventuellement une partie du bas de jambe de l'utilisateur. Il pourrait, alternativement, être prévu seulement la portion basse 10 à l'exclusion de toute portion haute. Mais, selon la première forme de réalisation, l'idée est de rendre le premier élément chaussant 2 apte à protéger le deuxième élément et, plus largement, le pied et une partie du bas de jambe, contre les projections d'eau, de neige, de morceaux de glace, ou autres corps étrangers.As shown in the
D'autres particularités du premier élément chaussant 2 seront abordées après.Other features of the
Le deuxième élément chaussant 3, quant à lui, s'étend en longueur, selon la direction longitudinale L, depuis une extrémité arrière ou talon 14 jusqu'à une extrémité avant ou pointe 15, en largeur, selon la direction transversale W, entre un côté latéral 16 et un côté médial 17, et en hauteur depuis une base 18 jusqu'à une extrémité supérieure 19.The
Tel que représenté le deuxième élément chaussant 3 comprend une portion basse 12, prévue pour couvrir le pied, ainsi qu'une portion haute 13, prévue pour couvrir la cheville et éventuellement une partie du bas de jambe de l'utilisateur. Il pourrait, là encore alternativement, être prévu seulement la portion basse 12 à l'exclusion de toute portion haute. On note cependant que la portion haute 13 du deuxième élément 3 est moins haute que la portion haute 11 du premier élément 2. Cela permet à ce dernier d'enserrer directement le bas de jambe, au-dessus du deuxième élément, pour une meilleure étanchéité. Par corollaire le deuxième élément chaussant 3, lorsqu'il est utilisé seul, permet de meilleures performances sportives, car sa hauteur réduite engendre une réduction de masse, par rapport à un élément équivalent mais dont la hauteur serait plus grande.As shown in the
Là encore d'autres particularités du deuxième élément chaussant 3 seront abordées après.Here again other particularities of the
Selon l'invention, comme on le comprend à l'aide des
A titre d'exemple non limitatif, toujours selon la première forme de réalisation de l'invention, le moyen de retenue 20 comprend une première pièce 21 associée au premier élément chaussant 2, ainsi qu'une deuxième pièce 22 associée au deuxième élément chaussant 3, la première pièce 21 et la deuxième pièce 22 présentant des formes complémentaires. On verra mieux plus loin que la complémentarité des formes des pièces 21, 22 permet à l'une de prendre appui sur l'autre, ou vice versa, de façon que les jeux mécaniques soient minimes, voire nuls. Cela, avantageusement, optimise la transmission des impulsions et des informations sensorielles au niveau des premier 2 et deuxième 3 éléments.By way of nonlimiting example, still according to the first embodiment of the invention, the retaining means 20 comprises a
A titre d'exemple la première pièce 21 est une butée interne, laquelle fait saillie vers l'avant, à l'intérieur du premier élément chaussant 2. La butée 21 est ici une équerre, qui comprend une première branche 23, solidarisée à l'extrémité arrière 4 du premier élément chaussant 2, ainsi qu'une deuxième branche 24, prévue pour coopérer avec le deuxième élément chaussant 3 comme on va le voir. Dans l'idée de la complémentarité la deuxième pièce 22 est un embout, qui fait saillie vers l'arrière, à l'extérieur du deuxième élément chaussant 3. On prévoit par exemple que le deuxième élément 3 comprenne un semelage externe 25 et une tige 26. Dans ce cas l'embout arrière 22 est une subdivision du semelage externe 25, subdivision qui fait saillie vers l'arrière au-delà de la tige 26. L'embout 22 présente une face active 27, prévue pour entrer en contact avec la butée 21. La face active 27 est ici parallèle au semelage externe 25. On verra mieux par la suite que, lorsque le deuxième élément chaussant 3 est totalement inséré dans le premier élément chaussant 2, la deuxième branche 24 de la butée 21 est à même de prendre appui sur la face active 27 de l'embout 22. Cela empêche le soulèvement du talon 14 du deuxième élément chaussant 3 à l'intérieur du premier élément chaussant 2. En d'autres termes cela évite que l'embout 22 ne s'éloigne de la base 8 du premier élément.By way of example, the
A titre d'exemple il est prévu que l'introduction du deuxième élément chaussant 3 dans le premier 2, ou son retrait, se fasse au niveau de l'extrémité arrière 4 de celui-ci. C'est pourquoi le premier élément chaussant 2 présente une ouverture arrière 30. Comme on peut le comprendre notamment à l'aide des
On remarque que l'ouverture 30 est une découpe large, pour faciliter le passage du deuxième élément chaussant 3. Par exemple, l'ouverture présente une largeur égale ou supérieure à trois centimètres. La largeur de l'ouverture peut être égale à la largeur du premier élément chaussant 2, au niveau de l'extrémité arrière 4. Le premier élément chaussant 2 comprend une languette 31 pour obturer l'ouverture, ainsi que des moyens de liaison 32, 33 de la languette au reste du premier élément chaussant. Il est ainsi possible de maintenir le deuxième élément 3 dans le premier 2 après introduction.Note that the
Selon la première forme de réalisation de l'invention, les moyens de liaison 32, 33 comprennent deux fermetures à glissière, à savoir une fermeture latérale 32 et une fermeture médiale 33. Chaque fermeture 32, 33 s'étend dans le sens de la hauteur, depuis la base 8 jusqu'à l'extrémité supérieure 9. Cela permet un dégagement total de la languette 31 en arrière, pour un passage plus facile du deuxième élément chaussant 3 par l'ouverture 30. Sur la
En complément, dans l'esprit de l'invention, le volume interne de la portion basse 10 du premier élément chaussant 2 est égal, ou à peine supérieur, au volume externe de la portion basse 12 du deuxième élément chaussant 3. Cela permet un maintien précis du deuxième élément chaussant 3 dans le premier 2. De bons résultats ont été obtenus lorsque le volume interne ci-avant évoqué est compris entre 100 et 110% du volume externe lui aussi évoqué. L'ajustement précis des volumes nécessite de la précision pour rentrer le deuxième élément chaussant 3 dans le premier 2. Afin de faciliter l'introduction, la chaussure 1 comprend un guide 34 pour la mise en place du deuxième élément 3 dans le premier.In addition, in the spirit of the invention, the internal volume of the
A titre d'exemple, le guide 34 est une plaque rigide située au niveau de l'extrémité arrière 4 du premier élément chaussant 2. Le guide est solidarisé à la languette 31, au-dessus de la butée 21. Cela signifie que le guide 34 est plus éloigné de la base 8 que ne l'est la butée. Le guide 34 a pour fonction de repousser l'embout 22 en avant de la butée, lorsque le talon 14 du deuxième élément chaussant 3 est abaissé vers la base 8 du premier élément chaussant 2. Comme on le comprend notamment à l'aide des
De manière non limitative, le guide 34 et la première pièce 21 du moyen de retenue 20 sont liés l'un à l'autre. En pratique ce sont ici le guide 34 et la butée 21 qui sont liés l'un à l'autre. Cela facilite leur coopération.In a nonlimiting manner, the
Ce qui précède montre que la chaussure 1 peut être utilisée dans son intégralité, c'est-à-dire que l'utilisateur peut marcher lorsque le deuxième élément chaussant 3 est inséré dans le premier 2, ou bien, alternativement, être utilisée partiellement. Dans ce cas l'utilisateur évolue avec le seul deuxième élément chaussant. Cependant il existe une autre possibilité, qui consiste à utiliser la chaussure dans son intégralité ensemble avec un engin de sport, tel qu'un crampon 41.The above shows that the
Un ensemble est présenté à l'aide des
Dans cette idée de coopération, le premier élément chaussant 2 comprend une butée externe 61 prévue pour recevoir la mâchoire 54. De manière non limitative, toujours selon la première forme de réalisation de l'invention, la butée externe 61 est constituée par la deuxième branche 24 de la butée interne 21. Cela revient à dire que la deuxième branche 24 présente deux faces opposées, dont l'une forme la butée interne 21, et l'autre forme la butée externe 61. Cela permet une transmission directe des impulsions de conduite, ainsi que des informations sensorielles, entre le moyen de retenue arrière 52 et le deuxième élément chaussant 3. La prise d'appuis au sol est donc précise et fiable.In this idea of cooperation, the
Afin de simplifier la fabrication de la chaussure 1, la butée interne 21, la butée externe 61 et le guide 34 forment une pièce monobloc, réalisée par exemple en matière synthétique, comme une matière plastique armée ou non.In order to simplify the manufacture of the
Toujours dans l'esprit de simplification, mais aussi d'efficacité, la pièce monobloc est une subdivision d'une partie arrière 31 du premier élément 2, cette partie étant ici la languette.Still in the spirit of simplification, but also of efficiency, the one-piece piece is a subdivision of a
Les autres formes de réalisation de l'invention sont présentées ci-après sommairement à l'aide des
Pour la deuxième forme, selon la
Pour la troisième forme, selon la
Dans tous les cas l'invention est réalisée à partir de matériaux et selon des techniques de mise en oeuvre connus de l'homme du métier.In all cases the invention is made from materials and according to processing techniques known to those skilled in the art.
Bien entendu l'invention n'est pas limitée aux formes de réalisation ci-avant décrites, et comprend tous les équivalents techniques pouvant entrer dans la portée des revendications qui vont suivre.Naturally, the invention is not limited to the embodiments described above, and includes all technical equivalents that fall within the scope of the claims that follow.
En particulier, on peut prévoir d'autres structures pour réaliser les butées 21, 61, et le guide 34.In particular, other structures may be provided for producing the
On peut prévoir toute structure de tige ou de semelage pour chacun des éléments chaussants 2, 3, avec le cas échéant des dispositifs de serrage de tige.Any stem or sole structure may be provided for each of the
