Description

SEMELLE ANTIDERAPANTE  NON-SLIP SOLE
DOMAINE TECHNIQUE DE L'INVENTION TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION
[0001] La présente invention concerne une semelle antidérapante. Elle concerne plus particulièrement une semelle comportant une pluralité de cavités occupées par des particules de remplissage. L'invention concerne également un procédé de fabrication d'une telle semelle. The present invention relates to a non-slip sole. It relates more particularly to a sole having a plurality of cavities occupied by filling particles. The invention also relates to a method of manufacturing such a sole.
ETAT DE LA TECHNIQUE ANTERIEURE STATE OF THE PRIOR ART
[0002] On connaît aujourd'hui de nombreux types de semelles de chaussures dotées de propriétés antidérapantes. [0002] Many types of shoe soles are known today with anti-slip properties.
[0003] On connaît par exemple le document FR2843685 qui décrit une chaussure aquatique pourvue d'une surface inférieure rugueuse. Cette surface comporte un état de surface antiglisse constitué par un tissu élastique enrobé dans une mince couche de matériau caoutchoutique. For example, document FR2843685 discloses an aquatic shoe provided with a rough bottom surface. This surface has a non-slip surface state consisting of an elastic fabric embedded in a thin layer of rubber material.
[0004] On connaît également le document FR 2722376 qui concerne une surface antidérapante du type comprenant un réseau de sculptures en relief. La solution décrite consiste en ce que lesdites sculptures sont formées d'un réseau transversal de canaux étroits s'étendant d'un bord à l'autre de façon discontinue, un canal étant défini par des lignes en forme de U. Also known is the document FR 2722376 which relates to a non-slip surface of the type comprising a network of relief sculptures. The described solution consists in that said sculptures are formed of a transverse network of narrow channels extending from one edge to the other discontinuously, a channel being defined by U-shaped lines.
[0005] Le document FR2709929 décrit une semelle antidérapante comportant des dents en saillie par rapport à la semelle et des plots élastiques également en saillie s'étendant entre les dents et ayant une hauteur au repos sensiblement égale à celle des dents. Document FR2709929 discloses a non-slip sole having teeth protruding from the sole and resilient studs also protruding extending between the teeth and having a height at rest substantially equal to that of the teeth.
[0006] Le document FR2661322 concerne une semelle rigide en polychlorure de vinyle (PVC) du type comprenant un corps de semelle muni d'au moins un insert en contact avec le sol et formant surface d'usure. Les inserts sont en polychlorure de vinyle de dureté moins élevée que celle du polychlorure de vinyle du corps de la semelle. The document FR2661322 relates to a rigid sole of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) of the type comprising a sole body provided with at least one insert in contact with the ground and forming a wear surface. The inserts are made of polyvinyl chloride of lower hardness than the polyvinyl chloride of the body of the sole.
[0007]Toutes ces solutions ont un point commun : l'efficacité des moyens antidérapants se dégrade au fur et à mesure de l'usure de la semelle. All these solutions have one thing in common: the effectiveness of non-slip means degrades as and when the wear of the sole.
[0008] Il existe donc un besoin pour une semelle ayant des propriétés antidérapantes efficaces et durables, malgré l'usure de la semelle. There is therefore a need for a sole having anti-slip properties effective and durable, despite the wear of the sole.
EXPOSE DE L'INVENTION SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
[0009] Tout d'abord, un premier objet de l'invention consiste à prévoir une semelle pourvue de caractéristiques de frottement conférant de bonnes caractéristiques antidérapantes, en particulier sur des sols très lisses, sur des sols mouillés, ou sur la glace sèche ou mouillée. First, a first object of the invention to provide a sole provided with friction characteristics conferring good slip characteristics, especially on very smooth floors, on wet floors, or on dry ice or wet.
[0010] Un autre objet de l'invention consiste à prévoir une semelle antidérapante pour chaussure dont les caractéristiques antidérapantes perdurent malgré l'usure de la semelle. Another object of the invention is to provide a non-slip shoe sole whose non-slip characteristics persist despite the wear of the sole.
[0011] Pour ce faire, l'invention prévoit une semelle de chaussure comportant une semelle extérieure, une semelle intérieure et une semelle intercalaire, s'étendant entre la semelle intérieure et la semelle extérieure, la semelle extérieure étant constituée d'un matériau élastomère comportant une pluralité de cavités remplies par des particules de remplissage de cavité qui sont à l'état solide à température ambiante, une pluralité de cavités ouvertes formant des microreliefs répartis sur la surface externe de la semelle extérieure à l'état neuf, et pendant l'usure de la semelle, du fait de la répartition des cavités dans la masse de celle-ci, de nouvelles cavités étant progressivement libérées. To do this, the invention provides a shoe sole comprising an outsole, an insole and a midsole, extending between the insole and the outsole, the outsole being made of an elastomeric material. having a plurality of cavities filled with cavity-filling particles which are in the solid state at ambient temperature, a plurality of open cavities forming micro-reliefs distributed over the external surface of the outsole in the new state, and during wear of the sole, due to the distribution of the cavities in the mass thereof, new cavities being gradually released.
[0012] Les microreliefs générés par les portions de cavités présents en surface de la semelle procure un effet mécanique augmentant le coefficient de frottement de la semelle. Cet effet est particulièrement avantageux sur sol lisse, sur sol humide ou mouillé, et même sur la glace (sèche ou mouillée). The microreliefs generated by the cavities portions present on the surface of the sole provides a mechanical effect increasing the coefficient of friction of the the sole. This effect is particularly beneficial on smooth ground, wet or wet ground, and even on ice (dry or wet).
[0013] Lorsque la semelle est neuve, une pluralité de cavités sont présentes à la surface, augmentant le coefficient de frottement de la semelle. Pendant l'usure, du fait que les cavités sont réparties dans la masse de la semelle, de nouvelles cavités sont libérées progressivement, assurant le maintient du coefficient de frottement favorable. Il se produit ainsi un effet auto-régénérant des cavités qui assure une durabilité des propriétés d'adhérence, malgré l'usure de la semelle. When the sole is new, a plurality of cavities are present on the surface, increasing the coefficient of friction of the sole. During wear, because the cavities are distributed in the mass of the sole, new cavities are released gradually, ensuring the maintenance of the favorable coefficient of friction. There is thus a self-regenerating effect of the cavities which ensures a durability of the adhesion properties, despite the wear of the sole.
[0014] En plus de avantages liés aux performances anti-glissement, contrairement aux semelles mousses qui sont compressibles, les semelles selon l'invention forment une structure non compressible, procurant de nombreux avantages en terme de comportement mécanique. In addition to advantages related to anti-slip performance, unlike foam soles which are compressible, the soles according to the invention form a non-compressible structure, providing many advantages in terms of mechanical behavior.
[0015] Selon un mode de réalisation avantageux, les particules de remplissage de cavité sont solubles à l'eau. Ce mode de réalisation permet de réaliser une semelle dont la surface de contact avec le sol est parsemée de microcavités procurant un effet d'adhérence avec le sol. Dès que la semelle s'use, de nouvelles cavités et particules sont libérées afin de permettre la continuité des propriétés d'adhérence liées aux cavités. According to an advantageous embodiment, the cavity filling particles are soluble in water. This embodiment allows for a sole whose contact surface with the ground is dotted with microcavities providing a gripping effect with the ground. As soon as the sole wears out, new cavities and particles are released to allow continuity of the adhesion properties related to the cavities.
[0016] De manière avantageuse, les particules de remplissage sont des sels. Ce type de particules présente l'avantage d'une grande facilité de mélange avec les matériaux élastomères. [0016] Advantageously, the filling particles are salts. This type of particle has the advantage of great ease of mixing with the elastomeric materials.
[0017] Selon un mode de réalisation avantageux, les particules de remplissage sont choisies parmi la liste comprenant des chlorates ou perchlorate, des sulfates de potassium, d'ammonium, ou de magnésium et en particulier le MgS04 et plus préférentiellement le sulfate de magnésium anhydré. According to an advantageous embodiment, the filler particles are chosen from the list comprising chlorates or perchlorate, potassium, ammonium or magnesium sulphates and in particular MgSO 4 and more preferably anhydrous magnesium sulphate. .
[0018] Selon encore un mode de réalisation avantageux, le diamètre moyen des particules est compris entre 0,01 mm et 1 mm et plus préférentiellement entre 0,01 mm et 0,3mm et encore plus préférentiellement entre 0.01 et 0.1 mm. According to another advantageous embodiment, the average diameter of the particles is between 0.01 mm and 1 mm and more preferably between 0.01 mm and 0.3 mm and even more preferably between 0.01 and 0.1 mm.
[0019] De manière avantageuse, les cavités sont réparties dans le matériau élastomère de façon sensiblement homogène. Advantageously, the cavities are distributed in the elastomeric material in a substantially homogeneous manner.
[0020] Egalement de manière avantageuse, les particules de remplissage occupent entre 15% et 60% du volume de la semelle extérieure, et plus préférentiellement entre 25% et 35% du volume de la semelle extérieure. Also advantageously, the filling particles occupy between 15% and 60% of the volume of the outsole, and more preferably between 25% and 35% of the volume of the outsole.
[0021] L'invention prévoit également un procédé de fabrication d'une semelle de chaussure telle que préalablement décrite, dans lequel une pluralité de particules de remplissage sont incorporées dans un matériau élastomère et mélangées avec ce dernier afin de constituer un mélange sensiblement uniforme, le mélange obtenu étant ensuite vulcanisé dans un moule en forme de semelle extérieure spécifiquement prévu à cet effet. The invention also provides a method of manufacturing a shoe sole as previously described, in which a plurality of filler particles are incorporated in an elastomeric material and mixed with the latter to form a substantially uniform mixture, the resulting mixture is then vulcanized in an outer sole-shaped mold specifically provided for this purpose.
[0022] Ce procédé permet de fabriquer des semelles telles que préalablement décrites de façon simple et économique. This method makes it possible to manufacture insoles such as previously described simply and economically.

DEFINITIONS DEFINITIONS
[0024] Par « semelle extérieure » on entend la semelle d'usure, c'est-à-dire la partie de la semelle qui est en contact avec le sol. By "outsole" means the outsole, that is to say the part of the sole which is in contact with the ground.
Par « semelle intercalaire » ou « semelle intermédiaire », on entend la partie de la semelle qui s'étend sensiblement sous tout le pied, contre la semelle extérieure, et entre cette dernière et la semelle intérieure ou première. By "midsole" or "midsole" means the part of the sole which extends substantially under the entire foot, against the outsole, and between the latter and the insole or first.
Par « semelle intérieure » ou « première » ou « première de montage », on entend la partie de la semelle en contact avec le pied sous laquelle s'étendent successivement la semelle intercalaire et la semelle extérieure. By "insole" or "first" or "first of assembly" means the part of the sole in contact with the foot under which successively extend the midsole and the outsole.
[0025] La figure 2 illustre un exemple de semelle 1 de chaussure selon l'invention. Cette semelle comprend une semelle extérieure 2, une semelle intérieure 4 et une semelle intercalaire 3, s'étendant entre la semelle intérieure 4 et la semelle extérieure 2. La figure 1 illustre de façon schématique un agrandissement en élévation d'une semelle extérieure seule. [0025] Figure 2 illustrates an example of sole 1 of the shoe according to the invention. This sole comprises an outsole 2, an insole 4 and a midsole 3, extending between the insole 4 and the outsole 2. Figure 1 schematically illustrates an enlargement in elevation of a sole sole.
[0026] Une pluralité de particules 6 de remplissage occupent une partie du volume de la semelle. A température ambiante, ces particules sont à l'état solide. Chacune des cavités est généralement occupée par une particule unique. Occasionnellement, plusieurs particules peuvent occuper une même cavité. Les particules sont réparties sensiblement uniformément dans le corps de la semelle. Les particules 6 de remplissage occupent entre 15% et 60%, et plus préférentiellement entre 25% et 35 % du volume de la semelle. A plurality of filling particles 6 occupy part of the volume of the sole. At room temperature, these particles are in the solid state. Each of the cavities is usually occupied by a single particle. Occasionally, several particles may occupy the same cavity. The particles are distributed substantially uniformly in the body of the soleplate. The filling particles 6 occupy between 15% and 60%, and more preferably between 25% and 35% of the volume of the sole.
[0027] Une semelle non usée comporte une pluralité de cavités. Celles qui sont à la surface externe 8 de la semelle procurent des microreliefs, augmentant le coefficient de frottement de la semelle. Les arrêtes produites par les cavités ouvertes mises à jour à la surface de la semelle contribuent à l'augmentation du coefficient de frottement de la semelle. An unfused sole has a plurality of cavities. Those on the outer surface 8 of the sole provide microreliefs, increasing the coefficient of friction of the sole. The edges produced by the cavities Updated open areas on the sole surface contribute to the increased coefficient of friction of the sole.
[0028]Au fur et à mesure de l'usure, les cavités « en réserve » à l'intérieur de la semelle extérieure sont progressivement libérées. De nouveaux microreliefs apparaissent ainsi régulièrement, procurant un niveau élevé d'adhérence. Ainsi, malgré l'usure, les propriétés avantageuses de la semelle sont conservées sans dégradation des performances jusqu'à ce que la totalité des cavités en réserve aient été consommées. As and when wear, cavities "in reserve" inside the outsole are gradually released. New microreliefs appear regularly, providing a high level of adhesion. Thus, despite the wear, the advantageous properties of the sole are retained without degradation of performance until all the cavities in reserve have been consumed.
[0029]Selon un premier mode de réalisation de l'invention, les particules 6 de remplissage de cavité 5 sont solubles à l'eau. Avec l'usure progressive de la semelle, de nouvelles cavités sont peu à peu libérées. Les particules sont alors mises en contact avec l'environnement. Dès que la semelle est en présence d'eau ou d'humidité, les particules sont évacuées par dissolution. According to a first embodiment of the invention, the cavity filling particles 5 are soluble in water. With the progressive wear of the sole, new cavities are gradually released. The particles are then brought into contact with the environment. As soon as the sole is in the presence of water or moisture, the particles are removed by dissolution.
[0030] Selon un second mode de réalisation, les particules ne sont pas nécessairement solubles à l'eau. Celles-ci sont alors évacuées par un effet mécanique. Les particules nouvellement libérées, lors des phases de contact et de frottement avec le sol, sont éjectées. Même si certaines particules restent accrochées plus longtemps, avec l'usure de la semelle autour d'elles, l'effet de maintien s'amenuise et les particules quittent alors les portions de cavités restantes. According to a second embodiment, the particles are not necessarily soluble in water. These are then evacuated by a mechanical effect. The newly released particles, during contact and soil friction phases, are ejected. Even if some particles remain hooked longer, with the wear of the sole around them, the holding effect diminishes and the particles then leave the remaining cavity portions.
[0031] Ces deux modes de réalisation, qui sont avantageusement combinés, procurent un effet auto-régénérant, libérant progressivement de nouvelles cavités lorsque les particules sont libérées. Cette architecture permet d'assurer la pérennité des propriétés d'adhérence liées aux cavités. These two embodiments, which are advantageously combined, provide a self-regenerating effect, gradually releasing new cavities when the particles are released. This architecture makes it possible to ensure the durability of the adhesion properties related to the cavities.
[0032] Lorsqu'elles sont libérées, les particules sont évacuées des cavités soit par dissolution avec un milieu humide et/ou par un arrachement dû au frottement de la semelle avec le sol. Les microreliefs ainsi créés peuvent alors pleinement entrer en contact avec le sol. Chaque cavité contribue alors à augmenter le coefficient de frottement. La forte densité de cavités libérées à la surface de la semelle contribue à produire une semelle particulièrement adhérente. When released, the particles are removed from the cavities either by dissolution with a wet medium and / or by tearing due to the friction of the sole with the ground. The microreliefs thus created can then fully enter in contact with the ground. Each cavity then contributes to increasing the coefficient of friction. The high density of cavities released on the surface of the sole contributes to producing a particularly adherent sole.
[0033] Des sels, de préférence solubles dans l'eau, peuvent être utilisés pour réaliser les particules 6 de remplissage. On utilise par exemple des sels tels que des chlorates (NaCI) ou perchlorate, des sulfates de potassium, d'ammonium, ou de magnésium et en particulier le MgSO4 et plus préférentiellement le sulfate de magnésium anhydré. Salts, preferably soluble in water, can be used to make the filling particles 6. For example, salts such as chlorates (NaCl) or perchlorate, potassium, ammonium or magnesium sulphates and in particular MgSO 4 and, more preferably, anhydrous magnesium sulphate are used.
[0034]Le diamètre moyen des particules 5 est compris entre 0,01 mm et 1 mm et plus préférentiellement entre 0,01 mm et 0,3mm et encore plus préférentiellement entre 0.01 et 0.1 mm. The mean diameter of the particles 5 is between 0.01 mm and 1 mm and more preferably between 0.01 mm and 0.3 mm and even more preferably between 0.01 and 0.1 mm.
[0035] L'invention prévoit également un procédé de fabrication d'une semelle extérieure de chaussure telle que décrite dans les paragraphes précédents. The invention also provides a method of manufacturing an outer sole of a shoe as described in the preceding paragraphs.
[0036] Une des phases clés du procédé concerne l'incorporation au mélange élastomère cru d'une pluralité de particules 6 de remplissage. Le matériau élastomère avec les particules ajoutées sont mélangés afin de constituer un matériau hybride sensiblement uniforme. One of the key phases of the process concerns the incorporation of a plurality of filler particles 6 into the green elastomer mixture. The elastomeric material with the added particles is mixed to form a substantially uniform hybrid material.
[0037] Le mélange obtenu est ensuite placé dans un moule en forme de semelle pour y être vulcanisé. Les températures et les temps de vulcanisation sont sensiblement les mêmes que pour une semelle conventionnelle. The resulting mixture is then placed in a mold-shaped sole to be vulcanized. The temperatures and vulcanization times are substantially the same as for a conventional sole.
[0038] Les particules de remplissage ajoutées au matériau élastomère occupent chacune un volume qui permet, lors de la phase de vulcanisation, de générer des microcavités. Ces microcavités sont réparties dans la semelle extérieure. La présence des particules permet de former des cavités sans avoir besoin d'utiliser d'additifs chimiques générateurs de bulles lors de la phase de vulcanisation. Numéros de référence employés sur les figures The filler particles added to the elastomeric material each occupy a volume that allows, during the vulcanization phase, to generate microcavities. These microcavities are distributed in the outsole. The presence of the particles makes it possible to form cavities without the need to use chemical additives that generate bubbles during the vulcanization phase. Reference numbers used in the figures
