Description

La présente demande concerne une sangle de maintien et de serrage pour une chaussure de sport. Plus particulièrement, la présente invention concerne une sangle de serrage dite "bas de jambe", car elle maintient et serre la partie haute d'une chaussure de sport contre le bas de jambe d'un utilisateur. De telles sangles sont utilisées dans les chaussures de ski et notamment dans les chaussures qui comportent une coque rigide et un élément de confort interne appelé chausson interne.The present application relates to a retaining and tightening strap for a sports shoe. More particularly, the present invention relates to a so-called “lower leg” tightening strap, since it maintains and tightens the upper part of a sports shoe against the lower leg of a user. Such straps are used in ski boots and in particular in boots which have a rigid shell and an internal comfort element called an internal liner.

Dans la pratique du ski alpin de piste ou du ski alpin de randonnée, les phases de descente, à proprement parlé, nécessitent d'avoir un appui arrière solide au niveau du bas de jambe de l'utilisateur. C'est pourquoi la plupart des chaussures de ski comportent un collier dont au moins la portion arrière est rigide et prend appui mécaniquement sur le bas de coque. Outre les différents dispositifs de fermeture de la chaussure qui permettent d'ajuster la coque contre le pied de l'utilisateur, un dispositif de serrage est prévu pour relier le bas de jambe de l'utilisateur à la partie arrière du collier de la chaussure.In the practice of downhill skiing or alpine ski touring, the downhill phases, strictly speaking, require having a solid rear support at the lower leg of the user. This is why most ski boots include a collar, at least the rear portion of which is rigid and is mechanically supported on the bottom of the shell. In addition to the different closure devices of the shoe which allow the shell to be adjusted against the user's foot, a tightening device is provided for connecting the user's lower leg to the rear part of the collar of the shoe.

Dans l'art antérieur, ces sangles bas de jambe comprennent une première portion de sangle, par exemple ancrée sur le côté latéral du collier, une deuxième portion de sangle, alors ancrée sur le côté médial du collier, des moyens d'appariement des deux portions de sangle et des moyens de réglage en longueur d'une des deux portions de sangle. Le document EP 1 484 992 décrit un tel dispositif dans lequel les moyens d'appariement sont constitués d'une boucle fixée à une extrémité de la première portion de sangle et prévue pour recevoir le passage de la deuxième portion de sangle. Les moyens de réglage en longueur sont, quant à eux, constitués par deux portions complémentaires de bande auto-agrippante (velcro) fixées sur la deuxième portion de sangle.In the prior art, these lower leg straps comprise a first portion of strap, for example anchored on the lateral side of the collar, a second portion of strap, then anchored on the medial side of the collar, means for pairing the two strap portions and means for adjusting the length of one of the two strap portions. The document EP 1 484 992 describes such a device in which the pairing means consist of a loop fixed to one end of the first portion of strap and designed to receive the passage of the second portion of strap. The length adjustment means are, for their part, constituted by two complementary portions of self-gripping strip (Velcro) fixed to the second portion of strap.

Il a été proposé dans l'art antérieur d'inclure des éléments ou des portions élastiques dans les dispositifs de serrage bas de jambe. En fonction du module élastique des éléments élastiques présents dans les dispositifs de serrage, on obtiendra plus de confort ou plus de performance, mais il ne sera pas possible d'obtenir les deux à la fois. C'est notamment le cas dans la chaussure de ski divulguées dans le document EP 1 087 676 , dans laquelle la mise en place d'un dispositif de serrage à portion élastique est sensée apporter un surplus d'énergie améliorant la performance du skieur. En revanche si la portion élastique se révèle trop lâche, l'utilisateur bénéficiera d'un meilleur confort au détriment de la performance.It has been proposed in the prior art to include elastic elements or portions in the lower leg tightening devices. Depending on the elastic modulus of the elastic elements present in the clamping devices, more comfort or more performance will be obtained, but it will not be possible to obtain both at the same time. This is particularly the case in the ski boot disclosed in the document EP 1 087 676 , in which the implementation of a tightening device with an elastic portion is supposed to provide a surplus of energy improving the performance of the skier. On the other hand, if the elastic portion turns out to be too loose, the user will benefit from better comfort to the detriment of performance.

Le document WO2016/076621 décrit une sangle bas de jambe pour chaussure de ski qui prévoit des moyens pour empêcher une trop grande extension d'une portion élastique de sangle.The document WO2016 / 076621 describes a lower leg strap for a ski boot which provides means for preventing too great an extension of an elastic portion of the strap.

L'objectif de la présente invention est de fournir un dispositif de serrage bas de jambe qui améliorera alternativement le confort ou la performance.The object of the present invention is to provide a lower leg tightening device which will in turn improve comfort or performance.

L'objectif de la présente invention est également de fournir un dispositif de serrage du bas de jambe pour une chaussure de sport qui permette une plus grande modularité d'utilisation pour l'utilisateur.The objective of the present invention is also to provide a device for tightening the lower leg for a sports shoe which allows greater modularity of use for the user.

Enfin, l'objectif de l'invention est également de simplifier l'utilisation du dispositif de serrage du bas de jambe pour l'utilisateur.Finally, the objective of the invention is also to simplify the use of the lower leg tightening device for the user.

L'invention est définie par les caractéristiques de la revendication indépendante 1. Les revendications dépendantes 2 à 10 définissent des modes d'exécution particuliers de la chaussure selon l'invention.The invention is defined by the characteristics of independent claim 1. Dependent claims 2 to 10 define particular embodiments of the shoe according to the invention.

This third anchoring means may comprise a flange and possibly a loop through which the second portion of strap passes.

Dans un mode de réalisation de l'invention, le deuxième moyen d'ancrage comprend un anneau solidaire de la coque et dans lequel passe la deuxième portion de sangle.In one embodiment of the invention, the second anchoring means comprises a ring integral with the shell and through which passes the second portion of strap.

Dans un mode de réalisation alternatif, le deuxième moyen d'ancrage comprend un crochet solidaire de l'un des deux éléments suivants ; la coque ou la deuxième portion de sangle, ledit crochet coopérant avec un anneau solidaire de l'autre desdits deux éléments.In an alternative embodiment, the second anchoring means comprises a hook integral with one of the following two elements; the shell or the second portion of strap, said hook cooperating with a ring integral with the other of said two elements.

Les moyens d'appariement et de réglage en longueur pourront se présenter sous toute forme connue pour ce type de moyen. A titre d'exemple et de manière non limitative, on pourra notamment envisager les deux configurations suivantes :

  • moyens d'appariement sous forme d'une boucle et moyens de réglage en longueur sous forme de bande auto-agrippante de type Velcro,
  • moyens d'appariement et de réglage en longueur combinés sous la forme d'une boucle à griffe.
The means for pairing and adjusting in length may be in any form known for this type of means. By way of example and in a nonlimiting manner, the following two configurations can in particular be considered:
  • matching means in the form of a loop and length adjustment means in the form of a Velcro-type hook-and-loop strip,
  • combined matching and length adjustment means in the form of a loop claw.

Le bas de coque 22 et le collier 21 sont par exemple obtenus par injection de matière plastique de type PA, PU, PE ou toute autre matière injectable. Ils peuvent également être réalisés à l'aide de matériaux composites, notamment à l'aide de fibres (carbones, verre..........) noyées dans une résine thermodurcissable ou thermoplastique. Un chausson interne 3 est inséré à l'intérieur de la coque 2 afin d'assurer le confort de l'utilisateur. Le chausson est composé d'un assemblage, collé et/ou cousu et/ou soudé de différents éléments dont le détail ne sera pas repris dans cette description.The ski boot 1 consists of a rigid shell 2, itself comprising a bottom shell 22 surmounted by a collar 21. The bottom shell 22 and the collar 21 are for example obtained by injection of plastic material of the type PA, PU, PE or any other injectable material. They can also be produced using composite materials, in particular using fibers (carbon, glass, etc.) embedded in a thermosetting or thermoplastic resin. An internal liner 3 is inserted inside the shell 2 in order to ensure the comfort of the user. The liner is made up of an assembly, glued and / or sewn and / or welded, of various elements, the details of which will not be repeated in this description.

Cette partie postérieure 211 se prolonge respectivement du côté médial et du côté latéral par des overlaps médial et radial 212, 213. Le glissement de l'overlap médial 212 sur l'overlap radial 213 permet d'adapter la circonférence du collier 21 à l'utilisateur.The figures 2 and 4 describe a partial section of the boot along a substantially horizontal plane. The collar 21 comprises a rear part 211 intended to be located opposite the rear part of the user's lower leg. This posterior part 211 is extended respectively on the medial side and on the lateral side by medial and radial overlaps 212, 213. The sliding of the medial overlap 212 on the radial overlap 213 makes it possible to adapt the circumference of the collar 21 to the user.

Le dispositif de serrage à option 4 du bas de jambe de l'utilisateur selon la premier mode de réalisation comporte une première portion de sangle 41 fixée à l'aide d'un premier moyen d'ancrage 43 au collier 21. Dans le cas précis, le premier ancrage 43 est fixé de manière solidaire et de manière essentiellement permanente sur le côté médial du collier. Le premier moyen d'ancrage 43 peut par exemple comprendre un rivet ou un ensemble vis-écrou. Dans une variante non représentée, des moyens sont prévus pour modifier la position précise du premier moyen d'ancrage. Par exemple, une position haute et une position basse pourra être prévue pour une meilleure adaptation à la morphologie de l'utilisateur. Bien qu'une modification de la position du premier moyen d'ancrage puisse être prévue, on considère néanmoins que la fixation du premier moyen d'ancrage est essentiellement permanente dans la mesure où la première portion de sangle sera toujours ancrée sur le collier, quelle qu'en soit la position précise.The optional tightening device 4 of the user's lower leg according to the first embodiment comprises a first portion of strap 41 fixed by means of a first anchoring means 43 to the collar 21.

In the first embodiment described in figures 2 and 3 , the third anchoring means 47 consists of a loop 471 fixed to one end of a flange 472. The other end of the flange 472 is fixed to the collar 21.

Dans le deuxième mode de réalisation décrit aux figures 4 et 5, le troisième moyen d'ancrage consiste en une simple bride 472 dont l'une des extrémités est fixée à la deuxième portion de sangle 42 et l'autre extrémité de la bride est fixée au collier 21.In the second embodiment described in figures 4 and 5 , the third anchoring means consists of a simple flange 472, one end of which is fixed to the second portion of strap 42 and the other end of the flange is fixed to the collar 21.

Le troisième moyen d'ancrage 47 garantit, entre autre, un meilleur positionnement de la deuxième portion de sangle 42, notamment dans la configuration de la sangle à option qui va être décrite ci-après en référence aux figures 3 et 5.The third anchoring means 47 guarantees, among other things, better positioning of the second portion of strap 42, in particular in the configuration of the optional strap which will be described below with reference to figures 3 and 5 .

Dans la configuration de la sangle à option décrite aux figures 2 et 4, le deuxième moyen d'ancrage est dans un état « connecté » et la sangle se comporte comme une sangle bas de jambe de l'art antérieur. L'utilisateur exerce une traction sur l'extrémité libre 424 de la deuxième portion de sangle 42. Cette traction est transmise, d'une part, à la partie médiale du collier 21, par l'intermédiaire des moyens d'appariement 44 et de la première portion de sangle 41 et, d'autre part, à la partie latérale du collier par l'intermédiaire des deuxièmes moyen d'ancrage 46. Lorsque la circonférence désirée est atteinte, l'utilisateur rabat l'extrémité libre 424 de sorte que les deux bandes velcro des moyens de réglage en longueur 45 s'interconnectent l'une avec l'autre et que le serrage soit maintenu.In the optional strap configuration described in figures 2 and 4 , the second anchoring means is in a “connected” state and the strap behaves like a lower leg strap of the prior art. The user exerts a traction on the free end 424 of the second portion of strap 42. This traction is transmitted, on the one hand, to the medial part of the collar 21, by means of the pairing means 44 and of the first portion of strap 41 and, on the other hand, to the lateral part of the collar by means of the second anchoring means 46. When the desired circumference is reached, the user folds the free end 424 so that the two velcro strips of the length adjustment means 45 interconnect with one another and that the tightening is maintained.

L'utilisateur choisira de préférence cette configuration lorsqu'il souhaitera de la performance, c'est-à-dire notamment pour skier plus rapidement et de manière plus engagée. Dans cette configuration, le chausson, et par conséquent le bas de jambe de l'utilisateur, sont fermement tenus dans la coque rigide. En termes de proprioception, le skieur a conscience du soutien que lui offre la coque 2 simultanément vers l'avant et vers l'arrière.The user will preferably choose this configuration when he wants performance, that is to say in particular for skiing more quickly and in a more committed manner. In this configuration, the liner, and therefore the user's lower leg, are firmly held in the hard shell. In terms of proprioception, the skier is aware of the support offered by the shell 2 simultaneously forwards and backwards.

Les figures 3 et 5 montrent la chaussure de ski dans une deuxième configuration. Le deuxième moyen d'ancrage 46 est dans un état « déconnectés ». En effet, le crochet 461 n'est plus prisonnier de l'anneau 462. Si bien que, sur le côté latéral de la chaussure, il n'y a plus liaison entre le collier et la deuxième portion de sangle. Par conséquent, même lorsque le dispositif de serrage bas de jambe est serré, le bas de jambe bénéficie d'une certaine laxité car le chausson 3 n'est plus plaqué contre la partie postérieure 211 du collier.The figures 3 and 5 show the ski boot in a second configuration. The second anchoring means 46 is in a “disconnected” state. In fact, the hook 461 is no longer a prisoner of the ring 462. So that, on the lateral side of the boot, there is no longer any connection between the collar and the second portion of the strap. Consequently, even when the lower leg tightening device is tight, the lower leg enjoys a certain laxity because the liner 3 is no longer pressed against the rear part 211 of the collar.

L'utilisateur choisira de préférence cette configuration lorsqu'il souhaitera plus de confort. Dans cette configuration, le chausson, et par conséquent la jambe de l'utilisateur, conserve le support de la partie avant de la coque.The user will preferably choose this configuration when he wants more comfort. In this configuration, the liner, and therefore the user's leg, retains the support of the front part of the shell.

Les figures 6 et 7 décrivent partiellement un troisième mode de réalisation de l'invention. Le troisième mode de réalisation se distingue du deuxième mode de réalisation, premièrement par des moyens d'appariement 44 de la première portion de boucle 41 avec la deuxième portion de boucle 42, ainsi que des moyens de réglage 45 qui sont différents de ceux présents dans le deuxième mode de réalisation.The figures 6 and 7 partially describe a third embodiment of the invention. The third embodiment differs from the second embodiment, firstly by means of pairing 44 of the first loop portion 41 with the second loop portion 42, as well as by adjustment means 45 which are different from those present in the second embodiment.

En effet, dans le troisième mode de réalisation de l'invention, les moyens d'appariement 44 et les moyens de réglage en longueur 45 se trouvent réunis sur un même élément appelé boucle à griffe.In fact, in the third embodiment of the invention, the pairing means 44 and the length adjustment means 45 are found united on the same element called the claw buckle.

La boucle à griffe comprend une boucle 441 fixée à l'extrémité libre de la deuxième portion de sangle 42, et une griffe 451 qui est montée pivotante dans la boucle, de telle manière que lorsqu'on tire la première portion de sangle 41 dans le sens du serrage, la griffe 451 pivote pour laisser coulisser la sangle alors que lorsque la sangle tente de glisser dans la direction du desserrage, la griffe se place de telle façon qu'elle obstrue le passage et empêche le coulissement.The claw buckle includes a buckle 441 attached to the free end of the second strap portion 42, and a claw 451 which is pivotally mounted in the buckle, such that when pulling the first strap portion 41 into the direction of tightening, the claw 451 rotates to allow the strap to slide while when the strap attempts to slide in the direction of loosening, the claw positions itself in such a way that it obstructs the passage and prevents sliding.

Deuxièmement, le troisième mode de réalisation se distingue également du deuxième mode de réalisation par le deuxième moyen d'ancrage. En effet celui-ci n'est plus constitué que par un simple anneau 462 à travers lequel passe (cf. figure 6) ou ne passe pas (cf. figure 7) la première portion de sangle 41.Second, the third embodiment is also distinguished from the second embodiment by the second anchoring means. In fact, this one is no longer constituted by a simple ring 462 through which passes (cf. figure 6 ) or does not pass (cf. figure 7 ) the first portion of strap 41.

Un troisième moyen d'ancrage est prévu entre la deuxième portion de sangle 42 et le collier. Ce troisième moyen d'ancrage est permanent. Dans le cas d'espèce, le troisième moyen d'ancrage 47 consiste en une bride 472 fixée d'une part à la deuxième portion de sangle 42 et d'autre part, au collier 21.A third anchoring means is provided between the second portion of strap 42 and the collar. This third means of anchoring is permanent. In the present case, the third anchoring means 47 consists of a flange 472 fixed on the one hand to the second portion of strap 42 and on the other hand to the collar 21.
