Description

Article chaussant comprenant une tige destinée à recevoir le pied d'un utilisateur et un système de maintien du pied dans la tige  Footwear article comprising a shank for receiving a user's foot and a foot-holding system in the shank
L'invention concerne un article chaussant comprenant une tige destinée à recevoir le pied d'un utilisateur et un système de maintien dudit pied dans ladite tige. The invention relates to an article of footwear comprising a rod intended to receive the foot of a user and a system for holding said foot in said rod.
L'invention concerne en particulier un article chaussant pour le sport. Lors de la pratique d'un sport, il est nécessaire que le pied soit bien maintenu dans l'article chaussant. En effet, un mauvais maintien peut engendrer des frottements du pied contre l'intérieur de l'article chaussant et/ou augmenter le risque de torsion de la cheville, ce qui peut entraîner des blessures plus ou moins importantes. The invention particularly relates to an article of footwear for sports. When practicing a sport, it is necessary that the foot is well maintained in the footwear. Indeed, poor support can cause friction of the foot against the inside of the footwear and / or increase the risk of torsion of the ankle, which can lead to more or less significant injuries.
Pour éviter ces inconvénients, on connaît du document US-4 756 098 un article chaussant comprenant une tige montée sur une face supérieure d'une semelle et destinée à recevoir le pied d'un utilisateur, ainsi qu'un système de maintien du pied dans ladite tige, ledit système comprenant un ensemble souple de serrage qui comprend des sangles souples et inextensibles disposées par paires de part et d'autre de la partie extérieure de la tige correspondant au médio pied, chaque sangle étant fixée en partie inférieure à la semelle et comprenant en partie supérieure une ouverture dans laquelle coulisse un lacet de serrage. To avoid these drawbacks, document US Pat. No. 4,756,098 discloses an article of footwear comprising a rod mounted on an upper face of a sole and intended to receive the foot of a user, as well as a system for holding the foot in said rod, said system comprising a flexible clamping assembly which comprises flexible and non-extensible straps arranged in pairs on either side of the outer part of the rod corresponding to the midfoot, each strap being fixed in the lower part to the sole and comprising in the upper part an opening in which slides a tightening lace.
Ainsi, lorsque l'utilisateur enfile l'article chaussant et serre les lacets, il contraint les sangles souples à se plaquer autour du pied dudit utilisateur, ce qui permet de serrer la tige et la semelle respectivement contre le médio-pied et la plante dudit pied et ainsi d'assurer un maintien dudit pied dans ledit article chaussant. Thus, when the user puts on the article of footwear and tightens the laces, he forces the flexible straps to be pressed around the foot of said user, which makes it possible to tighten the shank and the sole respectively against the midfoot and the plant of said foot and thus ensure a maintenance of said foot in said footwear.
Cependant, cet article chaussant ne donne pas entière satisfaction, en ce que le serrage de la tige et plus particulièrement de la semelle contre le pied de l'utilisateur est relativement limité. En effet, les sangles sont fixées par couture sur la partie supérieure de la tige et sur chaque côté de la semelle, de sorte que l'effort de traction exercé par l'utilisateur sur le lacet est contraint par la rigidité de ladite tige et de ladite semelle. However, this footwear is not entirely satisfactory, in that the clamping of the rod and more particularly of the sole against the foot of the user is relatively limited. Indeed, the straps are fixed by sewing on the upper part of the rod and on each side of the sole, so that the tensile force exerted by the user on the lace is constrained by the rigidity of said rod and said sole.
En particulier, un tel article chaussant ne permet donc pas à l'utilisateur d'adapter de façon satisfaisante le serrage du système de maintien à la morphologie de son pied. In particular, such a footwear item therefore does not allow the user to satisfactorily adapt the tightening of the holding system to the morphology of his foot.
L'invention vise à perfectionner l'art antérieur en proposant un article chaussant agencé pour permettre à un utilisateur de bénéficier d'un maintien plus important de son pied dans ledit article, ledit maintien étant en outre plus adaptable à sa morphologie. The invention aims to improve the prior art by providing an article of footwear arranged to allow a user to benefit from greater support of his foot in said article, said maintenance being furthermore more adaptable to its morphology.
Pour ce faire, l'invention propose un article chaussant comprenant une tige destinée à recevoir le pied d'un utilisateur, ladite tige étant montée sur une face supérieure d'une structure de semelle, ledit article chaussant comportant un système de maintien du pied dans la tige qui comprend au moins un ensemble souple de serrage qui s'étend de part et d'autre d'une partie extérieure de la tige, ledit ensemble étant agencé pour pouvoir être tendu et maintenu en état tendu autour de ladite partie extérieure afin d'assurer un serrage de ladite partie extérieure sur la zone du pied qui est destinée à être disposée en regard, le système de maintien comprenant en outre un insert structurel présentant une plaque de base qui s'étend continûment entre la structure de semelle et la tige, ladite plaque de base étant bordée de part et d'autre par respectivement un flanc disposé en regard d'un côté de la tige, l'ensemble souple étant associé à chacun desdits flancs de sorte que ledit ensemble en état tendu exerce un effort de traction sur lesdits flancs. To do this, the invention provides a footwear comprising a rod for receiving the foot of a user, said rod being mounted on an upper face of a sole structure, said footwear comprising a foot support system in a the rod which comprises at least one flexible clamping assembly which extends on either side of an outer portion of the rod, said assembly being arranged to be taut and held in a tight state around said outer portion so as to clamping said outer portion to the area of the foot that is intended to be disposed opposite, the holding system further comprising a structural insert having a base plate that extends continuously between the sole structure and the stem , said base plate being bordered on either side by a flank disposed opposite one side of the rod respectively, the flexible assembly being associated with each of said sidewalls said assembly in tensioned condition exerts a tensile force on said flanks.
D'autres particularités et avantages de l'invention apparaîtront dans la description qui suit, faite en référence aux figures annexées, dans lesquelles : Other features and advantages of the invention will appear in the description which follows, made with reference to the appended figures, in which:
- la figure 1 est une représentation schématique en perspective éclatée d'un article chaussant selon un mode de réalisation de l'invention ; - la figure 2 est une représentation schématique en perspective de l'article chaussant de la figure 1 ; - Figure 1 is a schematic perspective exploded view of an article of footwear according to one embodiment of the invention; - Figure 2 is a schematic perspective view of the footwear of Figure 1;

En relation avec ces figures, on décrit ci-dessous un article chaussant comprenant une tige 1 destinée à recevoir le pied d'un utilisateur. De façon connue, la tige 1 est montée sur une face supérieure 2 d'une structure de semelle, par exemple au moyen d'une première de montage 13. In relation to these figures, an article of footwear comprising a stem 1 intended to receive the foot of a user is described below. In known manner, the rod 1 is mounted on an upper face 2 of a sole structure, for example by means of a first mounting 13.
En particulier, la structure de semelle comprend une semelle intermédiaire 3 qui comprend une face supérieure 2 sur laquelle la tige 1 est montée et une face inférieure équipée d'une semelle d'usure 4, ladite semelle d'usure étant destinée à être en contact avec le sol. In particular, the sole structure comprises a midsole 3 which comprises an upper face 2 on which the rod 1 is mounted and a lower face equipped with a midsole 4, said midsole being intended to be in contact with the ground.
En outre, une semelle première de propreté peut être disposée dans la tige 1 pour être interposée entre la plante du pied de l'utilisateur et la première de montage 13. In addition, a first insole may be disposed in the rod 1 to be interposed between the sole of the user's foot and the first mounting 13.
L'article chaussant comprend en outre un système de maintien du pied dans la tige 1 qui comprend au moins un ensemble souple 5 de serrage qui s'étend de part et d'autre d'une partie extérieure de la tige 1 et qui est agencé pour pouvoir être tendu et maintenu en état tendu autour de la partie extérieure de la tige 1 qu'il entoure, afin d'assurer un serrage de ladite partie extérieure sur la zone du pied qui est destinée à être disposée en regard. The article of footwear further comprises a system for holding the foot in the rod 1 which comprises at least one flexible clamping assembly 5 which extends on either side of an outer part of the rod 1 and which is arranged to be taut and maintained in a tight state around the outer portion of the rod 1 it surrounds, to ensure a clamping of said outer portion on the foot area which is intended to be disposed opposite.
Par ailleurs, le système de maintien comprend un insert structurel 6 auquel l'ensemble de serrage 5 est associé, ledit insert présentant une plaque de base 7 qui s'étend continûment entre la structure de semelle et la tige 1 . Furthermore, the holding system comprises a structural insert 6 to which the clamping assembly 5 is associated, said insert having a base plate 7 which extends continuously between the sole structure and the rod 1.
En relation avec les figures 1 et 2, la plaque 7 est montée sur la face supérieure 2 en s'étendant continûment entre la semelle intermédiaire 3 et la tige 1 . En particulier, lors de la fabrication de l'article chaussant, la plaque de base 7 de l'insert 6 est disposée sous la première de montage qui permet d'associer la tige 1 sur la face supérieure 2 de la semelle intermédiaire 3. Par ailleurs, la figure 3 représente schématiquement un autre mode de réalisation, dans lequel la plaque de base 7 s'étend continûment entre l'ensemble tige - semelle intermédiaire 3 et la semelle d'usure 4. In relation to FIGS. 1 and 2, the plate 7 is mounted on the upper face 2 while extending continuously between the midsole 3 and the rod 1. In particular, during the manufacture of the footwear, the base plate 7 of the insert 6 is disposed under the first mounting which allows to associate the rod 1 on the upper face 2 of the midsole 3. Moreover 3 schematically shows another embodiment, wherein the base plate 7 extends continuously between the rod - midsole assembly 3 and the outsole 4.
En relation avec la figure 1 , la plaque de base 7 présente une échancrure avant 7a et/ou une échancrure arrière 7b permettant d'adapter sa rigidité. In connection with Figure 1, the base plate 7 has a notch front 7a and / or a rear notch 7b to adapt its rigidity.
En outre, la face supérieure 2 de la semelle intermédiaire 3 présente une empreinte 8 en creux dans laquelle la plaque de base 7 est disposée, ladite empreinte présentant une forme complémentaire de celle de ladite plaque. En relation avec la figure 1 , l'empreinte 8 présente deux ponts de matière 8a, 8b qui présentent chacun une forme complémentaire de respectivement l'échancrure avant 7a et l'échancrure arrière 7b de la plaque 7. In addition, the upper face 2 of the midsole 3 has a cavity recess 8 in which the base plate 7 is disposed, said cavity having a shape complementary to that of said plate. In relation with FIG. 1, the impression 8 has two material bridges 8a, 8b which each have a shape complementary to the front notch 7a and the rear notch 7b respectively of the plate 7.
La plaque de base 7 est bordée de part et d'autre par respectivement un flanc 9 disposé en regard d'un côté de la tige 1 , l'ensemble souple 5 étant associé à chacun desdits flancs de sorte que ledit ensemble en état tendu exerce un effort de traction suivant la direction T1 sur lesdits flancs. The base plate 7 is bordered on either side by a flank 9 respectively facing one side of the rod 1, the flexible assembly 5 being associated with each of said flanks so that said set in the stretched condition exerts a traction force in the direction T1 on said flanks.
En outre, l'insert 6 présente une certaine tenue mécanique, notamment pour transmettre aux flancs 9 les efforts de plaquage que la plaque 7 exerce sur la plante du pied de l'utilisateur, ce qui permet d'améliorer le serrage et donc le maintien dudit pied dans l'article chaussant. Pour ce faire, l'insert 6 peut notamment être réalisé à base d'un matériau polymère thermoplastique, comme le polyuréthane thermoplastique (TPU). In addition, the insert 6 has a certain mechanical strength, in particular to transmit to the sidewalls 9 the plating forces that the plate 7 exerts on the sole of the user's foot, which makes it possible to improve the tightening and therefore the maintenance said foot in the footwear article. To do this, the insert 6 may in particular be made of a thermoplastic polymer material, such as thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU).
Selon un mode de réalisation, les flancs 9 sont équipés d'au moins une fente 9a dans laquelle l'ensemble souple 5 est associé. Par ailleurs, l'ensemble souple 5 comprend au moins une paire de deux sangles souples 10 qui s'étendent respectivement contre un côté de la partie extérieure de la tige 1 , plus précisément respectivement contre le quartier médial et le quartier latéral de ladite partie extérieure de la tige 1 . Les sangles présentent chacune une extrémité inférieure 10a associée à respectivement un flanc 9 et une extrémité supérieure 10b, lesdites extrémités supérieures étant équipées d'un moyen de serrage qui est agencé pour pouvoir tendre et maintenir en état tendu les sangles 10 autour de ladite partie extérieure. En particulier, le moyen de serrage comprend un lacet 1 1 qui relie entre elles les extrémités supérieures 10b des sangles 10, lesdites extrémités comprenant chacune un œillet 12 dans lequel ledit lacet est disposé en coulissement. According to one embodiment, the sidewalls 9 are equipped with at least one slot 9a in which the flexible assembly 5 is associated. Furthermore, the flexible assembly 5 comprises at least one pair of two flexible straps 10 which respectively extend against one side of the outer part of the rod 1, more precisely respectively against the medial quarter and the lateral portion of said outer portion of the stem 1. The straps each have a lower end 10a associated respectively with a sidewall 9 and an upper end 10b, said upper ends being provided with a clamping means which is arranged to be able to tension and maintain in a tight state the straps 10 around said outer part . In particular, the clamping means comprises a lace 1 1 which interconnects the upper ends 10b of the straps 10, said ends each comprising an eyelet 12 in which said lace is slidably disposed.
En outre, les extrémités supérieures 10b des sangles 10 sont disposées de part et d'autre d'une partie de coup de pied de la tige 1 et les extrémités inférieures 10a d'une paire de sangles 10 sont associées en coulissement à respectivement un flanc 9 en étant reliées par une bande supérieure 10c qui s'étend autour d'une partie de coup de pied de la tige 1 . Ainsi, les sangles 10 sont libres en coulissement par rapport à la tige 1 , ce qui permet à l'utilisateur d'effectuer un serrage qui soit parfaitement adapté à sa morphologie, et donc de bénéficier d'un meilleur maintien de son pied dans l'article chaussant. In addition, the upper ends 10b of the straps 10 are disposed on either side of a kick portion of the rod 1 and the lower ends 10a of a pair of straps 10 are slidably associated with one side respectively. 9 being connected by an upper band 10c which extends around a kick portion of the rod 1. Thus, the straps 10 are free sliding relative to the rod 1, which allows the user to perform a tightening that is perfectly adapted to its morphology, and thus to benefit from a better support of his foot in the body. footwear.
En relation avec les figures, les sangles 10 d'une paire sont formées d'une seule pièce avec la bande supérieure 10c qui relie entre elles les extrémités inférieures 10b desdites sangles, ladite pièce étant montée coulissante dans une première et une deuxième fentes 9a de respectivement un flanc 9. In connection with the figures, the straps 10 of a pair are formed in one piece with the upper band 10c which interconnects the lower ends 10b of said straps, said piece being slidably mounted in a first and a second slot 9a of respectively a flank 9.
Ainsi, lorsque l'utilisateur tire sur chaque extrémité du lacet 1 1 , il exerce une tension sur chaque extrémité supérieure 10b d'une paire de sangles 10, ladite tension étant transmise à la bande supérieure 10c qui vient en appui supérieur suivant la direction D1 et en appui latéral suivant respectivement les directions D2 et D3 sur la partie de coup de pied de la tige 1 . En outre, la tension est transmise à chaque flanc 9 par l'intermédiaire de la fente 9a dudit flanc dans laquelle coulisse une extrémité inférieure 10a, ce qui génère un effort de traction T1 vers le haut sur ledit flanc et une légère courbure de la plaque de base 7. De ce fait, l'insert 6 se déforme de sorte à épouser la forme de la zone de la plante du pied en regard de laquelle il est disposé, ce qui confère un meilleur maintien dudit pied au niveau de ladite zone. Thus, when the user pulls on each end of the lace 1 1, he exerts a tension on each upper end 10b of a pair of straps 10, said tension being transmitted to the upper band 10c which comes in upper support in the direction D1 and in lateral support respectively along the directions D2 and D3 on the kick part of the rod 1. In addition, the voltage is transmitted to each side 9 via the slot 9a of said side in which slides a lower end 10a, which generates a pulling force T1 upwards on said side and a slight curvature of the plate 7. As a result, the insert 6 deforms so as to match the shape of the zone of the sole of the foot opposite which it is arranged, which confers a better maintenance of said foot at said zone.
Par ailleurs, en nouant le lacet 1 1 , l'utilisateur contraint les extrémités supérieures 10b d'une paire de sangles 10 à se rapprocher l'une de l'autre et à venir en appui contre la partie de coup de pied de la tige 1 , ce qui permet à ladite partie de venir au contact du pied et d'améliorer le maintien dudit pied dans l'article chaussant. Moreover, by knotting the lace 1 1, the user forces the upper ends 10b of a pair of straps 10 to come closer to each other and to bear against the kick portion of the rod 1, which allows said portion to come into contact with the foot and improve the maintenance of said foot in the footwear.
Dans le mode de réalisation représenté, l'ensemble souple 5 comprend plusieurs paires de deux sangles 10 qui sont réparties le long d'une partie de médio-pied de la tige 1 . Ainsi, l'article chaussant permet d'apporter un maintien important sur la zone de médio-pied. In the embodiment shown, the flexible assembly 5 comprises several pairs of two straps 10 which are distributed along a midfoot portion of the rod 1. Thus, the article of footwear makes it possible to provide significant support on the midfoot area.
Pour un meilleur maintien du pied, l'ensemble souple 5 peut également comprendre une paire de deux sangles arrière (non représentées) dont les extrémités inférieures sont associées en coulissement à respectivement un flanc 9, lesdites extrémités inférieures étant reliées par une bande arrière qui s'étend autour d'une partie d'arrière-pied de la tige 1 . En particulier, la bande arrière est destinée à entourer la partie de talon de la tige. For better support of the foot, the flexible assembly 5 may also comprise a pair of two rear straps (not shown) whose lower ends are slidably associated with a sidewall 9 respectively, said lower ends being connected by a rear band which is extends around a rearfoot portion of the rod 1. In particular, the back band is intended to surround the heel portion of the stem.
