Definitions

  • the invention relates to a sports shoe, such as a ski boot, hiking or mountaineering.
  • a sports shoe comprises a lower part, called bottom shell and a high part, called necklace.
  • the shell bottom has a sole, from which two sides come from.
  • the bottom of the shell and the collar hold respectively the foot and the calf of the user.
  • the collar is hinged to the bottom of the shell to facilitate walking but it can be immobilized relative to it during the sporting activity to ensure the locking of the movements of the ankle of the user.
  • the bottom of the shell can be rigid or flexible. In the case of a soft shell bottom, it can be tightened around the foot of the user by means of a lace.
  • the lace devices are simple to put in place, they are light. However, when they include closed passersby, they interfere with the introduction of the foot by the user because even untied they partially obstruct the opening of the shoe.
  • the user In hiking, climbing or skiing, the user may be required to perform not hunted, pass through branches or climb by leaning on an internal or external side of his shoe.
  • the clamping means of the shell bottom of the current shoes are disposed on the side of the shell bottom, that is to say on a sidewall.
  • the clamping means are likely to be degraded or even disabled by external elements such as pebbles or branches during the sporting activity.
  • the invention more particularly intends to remedy by proposing a sports shoe with which the clamping means of the shell bottom are less exposed to external elements such as pebbles or branches.
  • the risk that the clamping means degrade or deactivate during the sporting activity is therefore lower.
  • the object of the invention is, on the other hand, a device which combines the advantages of clamping by a single lace and those of a more powerful clamping using several hooks.
  • the object of the invention is also to provide a shoe whose clamping means are simple to use, lighter than known devices and when they are not tight, do not interfere with the introduction of the foot.
  • the invention relates to a sports shoe, comprising a bottom of a rigid shell for holding a user's foot, comprising a sole and two lateral flanks coming from the sole, and means for tightening the bottom of the shell around the foot of the user, comprising a filamentary member for clamping the flanks towards each other, which is pivotally tightened by a lever.
  • the lever is designed to be pivoted in a notch of a rack, adapted to cap the two sides of the shell bottom in a tight configuration and to bend the flanks in the direction of the soleplate under the pivoting action of the the sink.
  • the rack is disposed on top of the shell bottom in a tight configuration.
  • the rack and the clamping lever are therefore less exposed to pebbles and branches during sports activities.
  • the lace gives the shoe a mountain style, appreciated by specialists.
  • the tightening of the shell bottom is effected simply by tilting the clamping lever since this implies, on the one hand, the tightening of the lace and, on the other hand, the bending of the two sides of the shell bottom around the foot of the shell. 'user.
  • the shoe 1 is a mountaineering shoe, which is adapted for the left foot of a user. This shoe 1 can be adapted for hiking or skiing.
  • the shoe 1 comprises a lower part 2 for receiving the foot of the user, which is provided to surround the foot of the latter.
  • This lower part 2 called “bottom hull", keeps the foot of the user during walking or skiing.
  • the lower part 2 is rigid, that is to say that it is made of a material having a modulus of elasticity greater than 500 MPa.
  • the bottom shell 2 can be made of plastic.
  • the bottom shell 2 extends along a longitudinal axis X2, which extends between the heel and the toes of the foot of the user when he has the shoe 1 to the foot.
  • the upper part of the shell bottom 2 forms a passage opening for the foot of the user.
  • a soft liner 8, foam or fabric, is disposed inside the shoe 1 for the comfort of the user.
  • the shell bottom 2 comprises a sole 6 and two sides 2a and 2b which extend generally upwards from the sole 6.
  • the sidewalls 2a and 2b are bent in the direction of the sole 6, that is to say say that they have a concavity turned towards the sole 6.
  • the flanks 2a and 2b define with the sole 6 a cavity for receiving the foot of the user.
  • the flank 2a is an internal flank, that is to say turned towards the right shoe of the user, while the flank 2b is an outer flank.
  • the flanks 2a and 2b are separated by an upper recess E2, they do not overlap as is the case in shoes called "overlap" or overlap.
  • the boot 1 also comprises a high part 4 for maintaining the calf of the user, which extends the bottom of the shell 2 and which is provided to surround the lower leg, that is to say the calf of the user.
  • This upper part called “collar” is hinged to the shell bottom 2, especially around an axis Y4 perpendicular to the longitudinal axis X2 and parallel to the sole 6.
  • the articulation between the collar 8 and the bottom of the hull 2 is in practice blocked during the sporting activity by means of a not shown locking mechanism, which is arranged at the rear of the collar 8.
  • a not shown locking mechanism which is arranged at the rear of the collar 8.
  • the shoe 1 comprises means M1 clamping the collar 4 around the calf of the user.
  • These means M1 include a clamping device with notches 100 and a self-gripping band 102.
  • the shoe 1 is also equipped with M2 clamping means of the bottom shell 2 around the foot of the user.
  • These clamping means M2 are manipulable by the user between completely loose configurations represented at Figures 2 and 3 , an intermediate configuration represented at figure 4 and a tight configuration represented in the figure 5 .
  • the clamping means M2 include a filiform element which, in the example, is a lace 10 which runs on the sidewalls 2a and 2b.
  • the lace 10 is a cloth cord which passes through loops 12 fixed on the sides 2a and 2b of the bottom shell 2.
  • the loops 12 are screwed on the sides 2a and 2b but they can also be welded or glued .
  • the tightening of the lace 10 makes it possible to bring the flanks 2a and 2b closer to one another and to tighten the upper recess E2.
  • the clamping means M2 also include a rack 17 and a clamping lever 14. In the tight and intermediate configurations, the lever 14 is engaged in the rack 17. A loosened configuration is conducive to the installation of the user's foot in the shoe 1 since the means M2 do not then oppose the elastic deformation of the shell bottom 2 for the passage of the foot of the user.
  • the rack 17 extends transversely to the axis X2 and comprises a notched metal piece 16 for receiving the lever 14 and a rigid tongue 18, which supports the toothed piece 16.
  • the rigid tongue 18 is curved, with a concavity turned towards the sole 6 when the clamping means M2 are in the intermediate configuration or tight, that is to say that its center of curvature is disposed on the side of the sole 6.
  • the toothed piece 16 can be glued or welded to the tongue 18 It is provided with notches 160.
  • the rack 17 is articulated on the side 2a of the shell bottom 2 by means of a hinge 20. This hinge 20 is fixed below a proximal end 18a of the tongue 18 and comprises a 200 hook taking a cleft ring triangular screwed to the flank 2a.
  • the lever 14 comprises a hinge shaft 140, which is intended to be housed in a notch 160 of the toothed part 16. As visible in FIG. figure 3 , the lever 14 comprises two arms 142 which define two through holes O14 aligned with each other. The hinge shaft 140 also passes through the arms 142 of the lever 14 and is rotatable about its axis. The orifices O14 are passage holes of the lace 10. The lever 14 is thus threaded on the lace 10. Therefore, the tightening of the lace 10 is effected by pivoting the lever 14 in a notch 160 of the rack 17. Moreover, the lever 14 is detached from the shell bottom 2 and is free to slide along the lace 10.
  • the user starts by clearing the rack 17 by tilting it around the end of the tree caught by the hook 200.
  • the lace 10 is also loosened and the user can insert his foot inside. of shoe 1 without difficulty.
  • the user folds the rack 17 towards the side 2b, as represented by the arrow R1 at the figure 2 . Then, the user pulls the lace 10 and takes the lever 14 towards the toothed piece 16, as shown by arrow R2 to the figure 2 . The user engages the articulation shaft 140 of the lever 14 in a notch 160 of the toothed part 16. The clamping means M2 are then in the intermediate configuration of the figure 4 .
  • the tightening of the foot of the user inside the shell bottom 2 is all the more important that the notch in which is engaged the shaft 140 is close to the side 2a.
  • the tilting of the lever 14 is represented at figure 4 by an arrow R3.
  • the clamping means M2 then arrive in the tight configuration of the figure 5 .
  • the tilting of the lever 14 jointly causes a tension T1 on the lace 10 and a traction force T2 of the rack 17 towards the side 2b.
  • the tension T1 applying to the lace 10 makes it possible to tighten the lace 10 and to bring the flanks 2a and 2b closer to one another.
  • the lace 10 thus makes it possible to tighten the foot of the user in the direction of the width.
  • the rack 17 caps, or overlaps, the flanks 2a and 2b under the pulling force T2 of the lever 14.
  • the rack 17 bridges the flanks 2a and 2b.
  • the rack 17, or more exactly the rigid tongue 18, is supported both on the side 2a, through the hinge 20 and on the side 2b via the distal end 18b of the tongue 18.
  • the rack spans and passes through the recess E2.
  • the rack 17 is disposed in the center and on the top of the bottom shell 2. This has the advantage that it is less exposed to branches and pebbles during climbing or passage between branches.
  • the pulling force T2 on the rack 17 makes it possible to bend the flanks 2a and 2b towards the sole 6, which has the effect of compressing the user's foot in the direction of the height. More precisely, it is the rigid tongue 18 which hems the sides 2a and 2b of the bottom shell 2. The tongue 18 pulls on the one hand on the side 2a and on the other hand supports the side 2b.
  • the recess E2 gives a certain flexibility to the bottom shell 2, which allows to elastically deform the shell bottom 2 under the pivoting action of the lever 14.
  • F1 and F2 designate the bending forces of the rack 17, respectively on flanks 2a and 2b.
  • the bending efforts F1 and F2 are directed towards the sole 6, that is to say that they make it possible to accentuate the curvature of the flanks 2a and 2b.
  • the bending forces F1 and F2 are equivalent, that is to say that the rack 17 substantially substantially evenly rests on the sides 2a and 2b of the shell bottom 2. The user does not have the feeling of have one side tighter than the other.
  • the tilting of the lever 14 also causes the lace 10 to be housed in a notch 160 of the toothed part 16. More specifically, the holes O14 lace passage 10 are separated from the hinge shaft 140 by a distance d1 corresponding to the distance d2 between two notches of the toothed part 16. Thus, the lace 10 is automatically locked in the toothed part 16 by tilting the lever 14.
  • the two receiving notches of the shaft 140 and the lace 10 are separated by an empty screen.
  • the lever 14 can be slid immovably onto the lace 10.
  • lever 14 is attached to the shell bottom 2.
  • the lace 10 and the lever 14 may be bonded by welding points.
  • the toothed piece 16 and the rigid tongue 18 are in one piece.
  • the lace 10 is replaced by a wire rope, which is also a filiform element.
