Description
L'invention se rapporte à un chausson pour chaussure de sport et, plus particulièrement, un chausson intérieur pour chaussure de ski alpin, de ski de fond ou de snowboard.The invention relates to a slipper for sports shoe and, more particularly, an inner boot for alpine ski boot, cross-country ski or snowboard.
Certaines chaussures de sport et, notamment, les chaussures de ski alpin, sont équipées d'un chausson intérieur présentant, d'une part, des propriétés d'isolation thermique et comportant, d'autre part, des moyens de protection du pied du skieur tant contre les chocs que vis à vis des contraintes d'appui exercées par la coque extérieure rigide de la chaussure.Some sports shoes and, in particular, alpine ski boots, are equipped with an inner liner having, on the one hand, thermal insulation properties and having, on the other hand, means for protecting the skier's foot. both against the shocks that vis-a-vis the support constraints exerted by the rigid outer shell of the shoe.
Ce chausson, destiné à être positionné à l'intérieur de la coque de la chaussure, est généralement amovible et est destiné à améliorer le confort du skieur tout en assurant un calage du pied pour assurer un contrôle efficace et sensible ainsi qu'une transmission précise des appuis mécaniques sur les skis via les chaussures.This liner, intended to be positioned inside the shell of the shoe, is generally removable and is intended to improve the comfort of the skier while ensuring a wedging of the foot to ensure effective and sensitive control and a precise transmission mechanical support on the skis via the shoes.
De façon générale, la coque extérieure relativement rigide de la chaussure présente un collier articulé sur une tige et dans certains modes de réalisation la coque extérieure est équipée d'un système de verrouillage du pivotement du collier vers l'arrière en mode ski et de déverrouillage de son pivotement vers l'arrière en mode marche pour permettre le pivotement du collier vers l'arrière et faciliter la marche à pied du skieur malgré la rigidité et le poids de la chaussure.In general, the relatively rigid outer shell of the shoe has a hinged collar on a rod and in some embodiments the outer shell is equipped with a locking system for pivoting the collar backwards in ski mode and unlocking its pivoting backwards in running mode to allow the pivoting of the collar to the rear and facilitate the walk of the skier despite the rigidity and weight of the shoe.
Les chaussons traditionnels, bien que beaucoup plus souples que la coque, ne permettent pas cependant de suivre complètement le mouvement de pivotement du collier vers l'arrière relativement à la tige ce qui a tendance à limiter le débattement du collier vers l'arrière et à occasionner ainsi une gêne pour le skieur lors de la marche.The traditional slippers, although much more flexible than the hull, do not allow however to follow completely the pivoting movement of the collar backwards relative to the rod which tends to limit the movement of the collar backwards and forwards. thus causing discomfort for the skier when walking.
Il existe des chaussons tels que celui décrit dans le

Tous ces chaussons présentent l'inconvénient, soit de provoquer une déformation non contrôlée par écrasement des parties haute et/ou basse qui bloque la flexion du chausson vers l'arrière lors de la marche et qui est susceptible de conduire à une amorce de rupture, soit de provoquer une gêne pour la jambe de l'utilisateur, la zone inférieure de la partie haute du chausson, rigide, venant en contact avec l'arrière du bas de jambe.All these slippers have the disadvantage of either causing an uncontrolled deformation by crushing of the upper and / or lower parts which blocks the bending of the liner backwards when walking and which is likely to lead to a beginning of rupture, either to cause discomfort for the leg of the user, the lower zone of the upper part of the liner, rigid, coming into contact with the back of the lower leg.
La présente invention a pour but de résoudre les problèmes techniques posés par l'art antérieur en proposant un chausson articulé notamment vers l'arrière avec un débattement plus important, offrant ainsi un meilleur confort de la jambe et permettant également une mise en oeuvre simplifiée.The present invention aims to solve the technical problems of the prior art by providing a hinged slipper including rearward with greater movement, thus providing better comfort of the leg and also allowing a simplified implementation.
Ce but est atteint selon l'invention au moyen d'un chausson selon la revendication 1, qui est caractérisé en ce qu'il comporte une série de lamelles délimitant une zone de pliage surélevée en formant sur la partie basse une languette s'étendant vers le haut et centrée sur l'axe médian du talon.This object is achieved according to the invention by means of a liner according to
Les lamelles sont séparées par des fentes.The slats are separated by slits.
Ces fentes sont traversantes et leurs extrémités suivent les contours de ladite zone de pliage.These slots are through and their ends follow the contours of said folding zone.
Selon une caractéristique avantageuse, la zone de pliage comporte des coutures entourant les fentes de façon à contrôler leur ouverture lors de la déformation de la zone de pliage.According to an advantageous characteristic, the folding zone has seams surrounding the slots so as to control their opening during the deformation of the folding zone.
Avantageusement, les lamelles s'étendent de part et d'autre de l'axe médian du talon.Advantageously, the slats extend on either side of the median axis of the heel.
Selon une autre caractéristique, le chausson comporte, en outre, un élément de renfort et de protection rapporté couvrant la face extérieure du chausson, au moins sur la zone de pliage.According to another characteristic, the liner further comprises a reinforcing and protective insert element covering the outer face of the liner, at least on the folding zone.
Selon une variante spécifique, cet élément de renfort présente une languette qui se prolonge latéralement par deux pattes ascendantes latérales.According to a specific variant, this reinforcing element has a tongue which extends laterally by two lateral ascending legs.
De préférence, cet élément de renfort est positionné à cheval sur les parties haute et basse.Preferably, this reinforcing element is positioned astride the upper and lower parts.
En outre, il est prévu que l'élément de renfort soit fixé à la partie haute au moins au moyen des mêmes coutures que celles entourant les fentes.In addition, it is expected that the reinforcing element is attached to the upper part at least by means of the same seams as those surrounding the slots.
Par ailleurs, la partie haute et la partie basse sont positionnées bord à bord et maintenues par une couture en zigzag.In addition, the upper part and the lower part are positioned edge to edge and held by a zigzag seam.
Selon une autre caractéristique, la zone de pliage est située au niveau de la zone en regard du tendon d'Achille.According to another characteristic, the folding zone is situated at the level of the zone facing the Achilles tendon.
Selon une première variante, les lamelles sont situées dans la partie supérieure de la partie basse.In a first variant, the slats are located in the upper part of the lower part.
Selon une seconde variante, les lamelles sont situées dans une pièce intercalaire de liaison située entre les parties haute et basse.According to a second variant, the slats are located in an intermediate connecting piece located between the upper and lower parts.
Selon encore une autre variante, le dispositif comporte, en outre, un élément de garnissage intérieur recouvrant au moins la face interne de ladite zone de pliage.According to yet another variant, the device further comprises an inner lining element covering at least the inner face of said folding zone.
Selon une variante spécifique de l'invention, le chausson est composé d'une couche externe et d'au moins un élément de garnissage intercalé entre la couche externe et une doublure interne d'habillage.According to a specific variant of the invention, the liner is composed of an outer layer and at least one lining element interposed between the outer layer and an inner lining lining.
De préférence, lesdites lamelles sont réalisées sur la couche externe.Preferably, said lamellae are made on the outer layer.
Un autre objet de l'invention est une chaussure équipée d'un chausson présentant au moins l'une des caractéristiques définies ci-dessus.Another object of the invention is a shoe equipped with a shoe having at least one of the characteristics defined above.
Le chausson de l'invention offre une bonne flexibilité de la zone de pliage formant la liaison articulée souple et élastiquement déformable entre sa partie haute et sa partie basse procurant ainsi à son utilisateur un grand confort lors de la marche.The liner of the invention provides good flexibility of the folding zone forming the flexible and elastically deformable articulated connection between its upper part and its lower part thus providing the user with great comfort when walking.
En effet, lors du pivotement de la partie haute du chausson, alternativement vers l'avant et vers l'arrière, l'extension et le repli de la zone fendue formée de lamelles verticales s'effectue de façon régulière et sans écrasement de matière ce qui évite toute gêne et écarte les risques de blessures de l'arrière de la jambe.Indeed, during the pivoting of the upper part of the liner, alternately forwards and backwards, the extension and the folding of the slit zone formed of vertical slats is effected in a regular manner and without crushing of material. which prevents discomfort and eliminates the risk of injury to the back of the leg.
Cet avantage présente un grand intérêt pour faciliter la marche des skieurs équipés de chaussures à coque rigide dont le collier pivote.This advantage is of great interest to make it easier for skiers equipped with hard-shell shoes whose collar pivots.
En outre, l'invention permet de faciliter le chaussage grâce à une plus grande déformation de la zone du chausson la plus sollicitée lors de l'insertion du talon dans la chaussure.In addition, the invention facilitates the boot due to greater deformation of the area of the most solicited slipper when inserting the heel in the shoe.

La partie basse 1 peut être réalisée en une seule pièce ou, peut éventuellement être constituée de deux flancs 1a et 1b respectivement gauche et droit, assemblés bord à bord par couture ou collage selon leur axe vertical médian, comme illustré par les
La partie haute 2 peut également être prolongée par une pièce rapportée 2a comme illustré sur la
La couche externe 4, représentée à plat sur la
La zone de liaison 12 entre les parties haute et basse du chausson peut être de forme ondulée ou rectiligne selon le mode de réalisation envisagé. Dans le mode de réalisation de l'invention illustré ici, notamment par la
Dans un autre mode de réalisation (non illustré), il est prévu que la zone - de liaison 12 entre les parties haute et basse du chausson s'étende sur une surface délimitée par une hauteur comprise entre 5 et 50 millimètres.In another embodiment (not shown), it is provided that the connecting
Cette zone de liaison 12 pourrait, en particulier, être supportée par une pièce intercalaire distincte, en matériau de type textile éventuellement renforcé, positionnée entre les parties haute et basse.This
Au cours de la marche, le chausson qui est au contact du pied doit pouvoir s'adapter au pivotement du collier de la chaussure relativement à la tige en particulier vers l'arrière pour ne pas gêner la marche.During the walk, the boot which is in contact with the foot must be able to adapt to the pivoting of the boot collar relative to the rod, particularly towards the rear so as not to hinder walking.
A cet effet, le chausson est doté lui-aussi d'une zone d'articulation située à proximité de la zone de liaison 12, entre la partie haute 2 et la partie basse 1.To this end, the liner also has an articulation zone located near the
Selon l'invention, cette zone d'articulation est située, soit, dans la partie supérieure de la partie basse, soit, selon une variante de l'invention, dans une zone intermédiaire entre ces deux parties, par exemple, sur une pièce intercalaire de jonction qui serait rapportée, soit encore dans la partie supérieure de la partie basse, en dessous de cette zone intermédiaire.According to the invention, this hinge zone is located, either in the upper part of the lower part or, according to a variant of the invention, in an intermediate zone between these two parts, for example, on an intermediate part. junction that would be reported, is still in the upper part of the lower part, below this intermediate zone.
Selon l'invention, la partie basse 1 du chausson est pourvue localement, sous la ligne de liaison 12a avec la partie haute 2, d'une zone de pliage élastiquement déformable 13 formant articulation qui est pourvue, à cet effet, d'une série de lamelles 11 sensiblement verticales délimitées par des fentes 10 qui s'étendent avantageusement de façon également verticale, de part et d'autre de l'axe médian X du talon.According to the invention, the
De préférence, l'axe desdites lamelles est perpendiculaire à l'axe de pliage du chausson provoqué par la rotation de sa partie haute par rapport à sa partie basse.Preferably, the axis of said slats is perpendicular to the axis of folding of the slipper caused by the rotation of its upper part relative to its lower part.
Les fentes 10 pénètrent ici au travers de l'épaisseur de la zone de pliage 13 et sont réalisées par découpe sans enlèvement de matière et sont donc à bords jointifs en position de repos.The
Selon une variante non représentée, les lamelles 11 seront espacées par des ouïes d'une largeur prédéterminée réalisées, dans ce cas, avec enlèvement de matière.According to a variant not shown, the
Les fentes 10 débouchent donc de part et d'autre de la partie basse 1 du chausson avant assemblage des autres pièces et/ou couches constitutives du chausson.The
Les fentes 10 sont pratiquées dans la couche externe 4 sur différentes longueurs ou hauteurs de façon à ce que leurs extrémités 10a suivent les contours de la zone 13 comme illustré par la
La largeur et la hauteur des lamelles 11 dépendent de la taille du chausson. Par exemple, la hauteur des lamelles est comprise entre 0,5 et 8 cm, de préférence comprise entre 0,6 et 4 cm, et la largeur des lamelles est comprise entre 0,5 et 2 cm, de préférence entre 0,8 et 1,2 cm.The width and height of the
Les dimensions des fentes 10 dépendent également de la taille du chausson, et leur longueur est comprise entre 0,5 et 8 cm, de préférence comprise entre 0,6 et 4 cm, et leur nombre est compris entre 2 et 12, de préférence 8.The dimensions of the
Lors de la rotation de la partie haute du chausson vers l'arrière, les lamelles fléchissent et les fentes, jointives dans une position de repos, s'écartent progressivement en fonction de la déformation.When rotating the upper part of the liner backward, the lamellae flex and the slots, contiguous in a rest position, gradually move away depending on the deformation.
Le choix de la largeur des lamelles et de la largeur des fentes, ainsi que leurs hauteurs et longueurs respectives, permet d'obtenir la souplesse voulue de la zone de pliage 13.The choice of the width of the slats and the width of the slits, as well as their respective heights and lengths, makes it possible to obtain the desired flexibility of the
Lors de la marche, la zone de la jambe la plus sollicitée se situe au niveau du tendon d'Achille, à hauteur de l'articulation de la cheville, approximativement au niveau de l'articulation entre la tige et le collier de la chaussure.During walking, the area of the most stressed leg is located at the level of the Achilles tendon, at the level of the ankle joint, approximately at the joint between the stem and the collar of the shoe.
Pour positionner la zone de pliage 13 dans la zone la plus sollicitée pendant la marche, il est prévu de surélever la zone pliable 13 en formant, sur la partie basse 1, une languette, s'étendant vers le haut et centrée sur l'axe médian X du talon comme illustré par la
Le chausson de l'invention comporte, en outre, un élément de renfort et de protection 3 qui est rapporté sur la zone de liaison 12 et qui est destiné à couvrir la face extérieure du chausson, au moins en correspondance avec la zone pliable 13.The liner of the invention further comprises a reinforcing and
Plus précisément, l'élément 3 est positionné en regard de la zone de pliage 13 et permet ainsi d'éviter le frottement des lamelles 11 sur la coque de la chaussure, pour obtenir un fonctionnement optimal et pour éviter l'usure des lamelles dans le temps.More precisely, the
L'élément 3 assure aussi l'étanchéité de la zone de liaison 12 entre la partie haute et la partie basse 1 et permet d'obturer les fentes 10. Il est constitué d'un matériau souple et élastique pour ne pas entraver leur déformation.The
Cet élément 3 est réalisé, par exemple, en PVC, en PU, en microfibres ou en toute matière textile imperméable utilisée généralement comme revêtement et avec un profil et une géométrie adaptés à la zone de pliage 13 et plus particulièrement à la surface délimitée par les lamelles 11.This
C'est ainsi que l'élément 3 comporte une languette centrale 3a et des pattes latérales 3b qui suivent les contours de la zone de pliage 13, comme illustré par les
La zone de pliage 13 comporte, en outre, des coutures 15 entourant et contournant les fentes 10 de façon à contrôler leur ouverture lors de la déformation de la partie basse 1 du chausson et à éviter leur déchirure éventuelle susceptible de se produire par propagation de l'amorce de rupture, matérialisée par la fragilisation de la matière au niveau des fentes en améliorant ainsi la tenue du chausson dans le temps.The
Les coutures 15 traversent à la fois l'épaisseur de l'élément 3 et celle de la partie basse 1 et sont, de préférence, à points droits en délimitant des bourrelets 15a, comme illustré par la
Ces coutures ont donc une double fonction consistant, d'une part, à consolider la zone de pliage 13 et à solidariser, d'autre part, l'élément de renfort 3.These seams therefore have a dual function consisting, on the one hand, of consolidating the
La zone de pliage 13 comporte également des coutures à points en zig-zag 14 réalisées au moins à la liaison jointive bord à bord de la partie basse 1 avec la partie haute 2 sur la ligne de liaison 12a et sur l'axe médian vertical X, comme illustré par la
Les points en zigzag permettent de renforcer les parties suturées sur une surface plus importante que les points droits.The zigzag stitches reinforce the sutured parts on a larger surface than the straight stitches.
Le chausson tel qu'illustré par la
De plus, dans le but d'améliorer encore le confort et d'ajuster le chausson au volume intérieur de la chaussure, des éléments de garnissage 5 sont intercalés, en cours de fabrication, entre la couche externe 4 et la doublure interne 6 du chausson.In addition, in order to further improve the comfort and adjust the liner to the interior volume of the shoe, packing
Cette variante peut être réalisée avec ou sans l'élément de renfort 3.This variant can be made with or without the reinforcing
L'élément de garnissage 5 formant rembourrage intérieur recouvre au moins la face interne de la zone de pliage 13 tel que représenté sur la
Cet élément de garnissage est réalisé, par exemple, en PE, en EPDM, en EVA, en aggloméré, ou en toute matière utilisée généralement dans un objectif de rembourrage.This packing element is made, for example, of PE, EPDM, EVA, agglomerate, or any material generally used in a padding lens.
Cet élément de garnissage intérieur peut être réalisé sous forme monobloc ou en plusieurs parties, et, de préférence, en deux parties, respectivement, une partie supérieure rigide 5a, par exemple en PE de densité comprise entre 90 et 110 kg/m3, et une partie inférieure plus souple 5b, par exemple, en EPDM de densité comprise entre 65 et 110 kg/m3.This inner lining element may be made in one-piece form or in several parts, and preferably in two parts, respectively, a rigid
