L'invention sera mieux comprise à la lecture de la description qui va suivre, donnée uniquement à titre d'exemple et faite en se référant aux figures annexées, parmi lesquelles :

  • la figure 1 est une vue en perspective d'une chaussure de ski selon un exemple de mode de réalisation de l'invention ;
  • la figure 2 est une vue éclatée de la chaussure de la figure 1 ;
  • la figure 3 est une vue en coupe d'une partie avant de la chaussure de la figure 1 ;
  • la figure 4 est une vue en perspective d'un chausson équipant la chaussure de la figure 1.
The invention will be better understood on reading the following description, given solely by way of example and made with reference to the appended figures, among which:
  • the figure 1 is a perspective view of a ski boot according to an exemplary embodiment of the invention;
  • the figure 2 is an exploded view of the shoe from the figure 1 ;
  • the picture 3 is a sectional view of a front part of the shoe of the figure 1 ;
  • the figure 4 is a perspective view of a liner fitted to the shoe of the figure 1 .

On a représenté, sur la figure 1, une chaussure de ski 10 selon un exemple de mode de réalisation de l'invention.We have represented, on the figure 1 , a ski boot 10 according to an exemplary embodiment of the invention.

La chaussure de ski comporte une coque 12, destinée à recevoir le pied d'un utilisateur. La coque 12 est rigide, notamment fabriquée en matière plastique, et comporte une semelle 14 rigide destinée à être insérée dans un dispositif de fixation d'un ski.The ski boot comprises a shell 12, intended to receive the foot of a user. The shell 12 is rigid, in particular made of plastic material, and comprises a rigid sole 14 intended to be inserted into a ski binding device.

La coque 12 comporte un bout 16 destiné à recevoir des orteils du pied de l'utilisateur, un montant arrière 18 et des parties latérales 20 s'étendant entre le bout 16 et le montant arrière 18.The shell 12 comprises a toe 16 intended to receive the toes of the user's foot, a rear upright 18 and lateral parts 20 extending between the toe 16 and the rear upright 18.

Comme cela est particulièrement visible sur la figure 2, la coque 12 présente une ouverture supérieure 22 délimitée vers l'avant par le bout 16, sur les côtés par les parties latérales 20, et vers l'arrière par le montant arrière 18. On définira pour la suite de la description un premier bord 24 délimitant l'ouverture supérieure 22.As is particularly visible on the figure 2 , the shell 12 has an upper opening 22 delimited forwards by the end 16, on the sides by the parts side 20, and towards the rear by the rear upright 18. For the remainder of the description, a first edge 24 delimiting the upper opening 22 will be defined.

La chaussure de ski 10 comporte par ailleurs un capot 26, relié au bout 16 de la coque 12 par l'intermédiaire d'une première liaison pivot 28. Ainsi, le capot 26 est propre à basculer autour de la première liaison pivot 28, entre une position fermée (représentée sur la figure 1), dans laquelle il recouvre en partie l'ouverture supérieure 22, et une position ouverte dans laquelle il libère l'ouverture supérieure 22.The ski boot 10 also comprises a cover 26, connected to the end 16 of the shell 12 by means of a first pivot connection 28. Thus, the cover 26 is capable of tilting around the first pivot connection 28, between a closed position (shown on the figure 1 ), in which it partially covers the upper opening 22, and an open position in which it releases the upper opening 22.

Ainsi, en position ouverte, il est très aisé d'insérer un pied dans la coque 12, en engageant le pied pointe en avant dans le bout 16, puis en basculant sans effort le pied de haut en bas.Thus, in the open position, it is very easy to insert a foot into the shell 12, by engaging the foot point forward in the end 16, then by rocking the foot effortlessly from top to bottom.

Le capot 26 comporte une partie avant 29 recouvrant en partie le bout 16 en position fermée, et une partie supérieure 30 recouvrant en partie l'ouverture supérieure 22 en position fermée.The cover 26 comprises a front part 29 partly covering the end 16 in the closed position, and an upper part 30 partly covering the upper opening 22 in the closed position.

La partie avant 29 présente une forme épousant celle du bout 16, de manière à autoriser le basculement du capot 26 sur ce bout 16.The front part 29 has a shape matching that of the end 16, so as to allow the tilting of the cover 26 on this end 16.

La partie supérieure 30 est formée de deux pans 30A, 30B, l'un des pans recouvrant l'autre. Grâce à ces deux pans 30A, 30B, la partie supérieure 30 peut être serrée efficacement sur la jambe de l'utilisateur.The upper part 30 is formed of two sections 30A, 30B, one of the sections covering the other. Thanks to these two sections 30A, 30B, the upper part 30 can be tightened effectively on the leg of the user.

Conformément au mode de réalisation décrit, le capot 26 comporte un levier de verrouillage 32, relié au capot 26 par une deuxième liaison pivot 34, et comprenant une partie de préhension 32A d'un côté de la liaison pivot et une partie de verrouillage 32B de l'autre côté de la deuxième liaison pivot 34.In accordance with the embodiment described, the cover 26 comprises a locking lever 32, connected to the cover 26 by a second pivot link 34, and comprising a gripping part 32A on one side of the pivot link and a locking part 32B on the the other side of the second pivot link 34.

La deuxième liaison pivot 34 est par exemple agencée sur la partie supérieure 30 du capot 26.The second pivot link 34 is for example arranged on the upper part 30 of the cover 26.

Avantageusement, le levier 32 est formé en deux parties de levier articulées entre elles, chaque partie s'étendant sur un côté du capot 26. Ces deux parties de levier sont similaires, si bien que tout ce qui est décrit pour une partie de levier est valable pour l'autre. L'articulation entre les parties de levier permet de déformer le levier 32 lors du serrage de la chaussure de ski 10.Advantageously, the lever 32 is formed in two lever parts hinged together, each part extending on one side of the cover 26. These two lever parts are similar, so that all that is described for a lever part is valid for the other. The articulation between the lever parts makes it possible to deform the lever 32 when tightening the ski boot 10.

Ainsi, chaque partie de levier porte une partie de la deuxième liaison pivot 34, agencée sur un pan 30A, 30B respectif.Thus, each lever part carries part of the second pivot link 34, arranged on a respective side 30A, 30B.

La partie de verrouillage 32B comprend, pour chaque partie de levier, un crochet 36.The locking part 32B comprises, for each lever part, a hook 36.

Le levier de verrouillage 32 est mobile autour de la deuxième liaison pivot 34 entre une position de verrouillage, dans laquelle chaque crochet 36 coopère avec un élément de verrouillage complémentaire 38 porté par la coque 12, et une position de déverrouillage, dans laquelle chaque crochet 36 est libéré de l'élément de verrouillage 38 correspondant.The locking lever 32 is movable around the second pivot connection 34 between a locking position, in which each hook 36 cooperates with a complementary locking element 38 carried by the shell 12, and a locking position. unlocking, in which each hook 36 is released from the corresponding locking element 38.

Le déverrouillage est donc effectué simplement en prenant le levier 32 par sa partie de préhension 32A, et en faisant basculer ce levier autour de la deuxième liaison pivot 34.Unlocking is therefore carried out simply by taking the lever 32 by its gripping part 32A, and by tilting this lever around the second pivot link 34.

Il est à noter que le levier 32, ainsi maintenu par l'utilisateur, peut alors être utilisé pour faire basculer le capot 26 autour de la première liaison pivot 28 vers sa position d'ouverture.It should be noted that the lever 32, thus held by the user, can then be used to tilt the cover 26 around the first pivot link 28 towards its open position.

Avantageusement, la coque 12 comporte des boucles de fixation et de serrage 40, de type classique, portées par la coque 12, notamment par ses parties latérales 20, et surmontant la partie supérieure 30 du capot 26.Advantageously, the shell 12 comprises fastening and clamping loops 40, of the conventional type, carried by the shell 12, in particular by its lateral parts 20, and surmounting the upper part 30 of the cover 26.

Dans le mode de réalisation décrit, les boucles de fixation et de serrage 40 surmontent le levier 32.In the embodiment described, the fastening and tightening loops 40 overcome the lever 32.

En variante, la chaussure de ski 10 ne comporte pas de levier 32. Dans ce cas, les boucles de fixation et de serrage 40 ont également une fonction de verrouillage du capot 26.As a variant, the ski boot 10 does not include a lever 32. In this case, the fixing and tightening loops 40 also have a function of locking the hood 26.

Dans cette variante, le capot 26 comporte optionnellement une languette de préhension, de préférence fixée à la partie supérieure 30, grâce à laquelle l'utilisateur peut aisément faire basculer le capot 26 vers sa position d'ouverture.In this variant, the cover 26 optionally comprises a grip tab, preferably fixed to the upper part 30, thanks to which the user can easily tilt the cover 26 towards its open position.

Avantageusement, la chaussure de ski 10 selon l'invention comporte des moyens d'étanchéité entre la coque 12 et le capot 26, pour empêcher le passage d'eau ou de neige vers l'intérieur de la chaussure de ski 10.Advantageously, the ski boot 10 according to the invention comprises sealing means between the shell 12 and the cover 26, to prevent the passage of water or snow towards the inside of the ski boot 10.

Les moyens d'étanchéité comportent une nervure d'étanchéité 41 s'étendant entre le bout 16 et le capot 26, sensiblement sur toute la largeur du capot 26, pour empêcher le passage d'eau ou de neige entre le bout 16 et le capot 26 depuis l'avant de la chaussure. Dans l'exemple décrit, la nervure d'étanchéité est ménagée sur le bout 16, mais elle pourrait en variante être ménagée sous le capot 26.The sealing means comprise a sealing rib 41 extending between the end 16 and the cover 26, substantially over the entire width of the cover 26, to prevent the passage of water or snow between the end 16 and the cover. 26 from the front of the shoe. In the example described, the sealing rib is provided on the end 16, but it could alternatively be provided under the cover 26.

Avantageusement, le capot 26 étant délimité par un second bord 43, ce second bord 43 recouvre le premier bord 24 en position fermée du capot 26, comme cela est représenté sur la figure 3, qui est une vue en coupe de la figure 2, coupée au niveau d'une boucle de fixation et de serrage 40. De préférence, les premier 24 et second 43 bords présentent des formes complémentaires d'emboîtement, de sorte que l'un des premier 24 et second 43 bords est emboîté dans l'autre, contribuant ainsi au bon positionnement du capot 26 par rapport à la coque 12, et à une bonne étanchéité.Advantageously, the cover 26 being delimited by a second edge 43, this second edge 43 covers the first edge 24 in the closed position of the cover 26, as shown in the picture 3 , which is a sectional view of the figure 2 , cut at the level of a fastening and tightening loop 40. Preferably, the first 24 and second 43 edges have complementary nesting shapes, so that one of the first 24 and second 43 edges is nested in the another, thus contributing to the correct positioning of the cover 26 with respect to the shell 12, and to a good seal.

De manière optionnelle, un joint d'étanchéité est agencé entre les premier 24 et second 43 bords, améliorant ainsi l'étanchéité.Optionally, a seal is arranged between the first 24 and second 43 edges, thus improving the seal.

La chaussure de ski 10 selon l'invention comprend par ailleurs une partie supérieure de tige 42, recouvrant le montant arrière 18 de la coque 12. La partie supérieure de tige 42 est destinée à serrer la cheville de l'utilisateur.The ski boot 10 according to the invention also comprises an upper upper part 42, covering the rear upright 18 of the shell 12. The upper upper part 42 is intended to grip the user's ankle.

La partie supérieure de tige 42 comprend deux volets latéraux avants 42A, 42B destinés à recouvrir la partie supérieure 30 du capot 26 en position fermée. Ces volets latéraux 42A, 42B sont pourvus d'éléments 44 de serrage et de fixation de type classique, pour la fixation de ces deux volets latéraux 42A, 42B l'un sur l'autre.The upper stem part 42 comprises two front side flaps 42A, 42B intended to cover the upper part 30 of the cover 26 in the closed position. These side flaps 42A, 42B are provided with clamping and fixing elements 44 of the conventional type, for fixing these two side flaps 42A, 42B one on the other.

Pour une qualité de confort et une efficacité optimale, la partie supérieure de tige 42 est reliée au montant arrière 18 de la coque 12 par une troisième liaison pivot 46. La coque 12 comprend alors une butée réglable 48 coopérant avec la partie supérieure de tige 42 pour régler une inclinaison de cette partie supérieure de tige 42 par rapport au montant arrière 18.For a quality of comfort and optimum efficiency, the upper part of the rod 42 is connected to the rear upright 18 of the shell 12 by a third pivot connection 46. The shell 12 then comprises an adjustable stop 48 cooperating with the upper part of the rod 42 to adjust an inclination of this upper rod part 42 relative to the rear upright 18.

La chaussure de ski 10 selon l'invention comporte par ailleurs un chausson amovible 50 destiné à être inséré dans la coque 12. Ce chausson amovible 50 est représenté plus en détail sur la figure 4.The ski boot 10 according to the invention also comprises a removable liner 50 intended to be inserted into the shell 12. This removable liner 50 is shown in more detail on the figure 4 .

Le chausson amovible 50 est destiné à être chaussé par l'utilisateur préalablement à l'insertion du pied dans la chaussure de ski 10.The removable liner 50 is intended to be put on by the user prior to inserting the foot into the ski boot 10.

Avantageusement, le chausson amovible 50 comporte une semelle de marche 52 et un revêtement étanche 54 recouvrant au moins en partie la tige du chausson amovible 50. Ainsi, le chausson amovible 50 peut être utilisé pour conduire et/ou pour marcher dans la neige, ce qui permet de faciliter l'accès aux pistes de ski pour l'utilisateur, qui n'a pas besoin de marcher avec ses chaussures de ski pour y accéder.Advantageously, the removable liner 50 includes a walking sole 52 and a waterproof coating 54 covering at least part of the upper of the removable liner 50. Thus, the removable liner 50 can be used for driving and/or for walking in the snow, this which facilitates access to the ski slopes for the user, who does not need to walk with his ski boots to access them.

La semelle de marche 52 est avantageusement renforcée, et comporte des formes anti-dérapantes.The outsole 52 is advantageously reinforced, and has anti-slip shapes.

Le chausson amovible 50 présente par ailleurs un talon renforcé, afin de résister à la manœuvre d'insertion du chausson amovible 50 dans la coque 12.The removable liner 50 also has a reinforced heel, in order to resist the maneuver of inserting the removable liner 50 into the shell 12.

Le revêtement étanche 54 s'étend par exemple sur une partie du chausson amovible 50, par exemple jusqu'au-dessus des chevilles, ou en variante s'étend sur l'intégralité du chausson amovible.The waterproof coating 54 extends for example over part of the removable liner 50, for example up to above the ankles, or as a variant extends over the entirety of the removable liner.

De manière optionnelle, le revêtement étanche 54 est amovible, auquel cas le revêtement étanche 54 peut être enfilé par-dessus le chausson 50, et maintenu sur celuici par des moyens de maintien adaptés, par exemple par une fermeture par glissière étanche.Optionally, the waterproof covering 54 is removable, in which case the waterproof covering 54 can be slipped over the liner 50, and held thereon by suitable holding means, for example by a waterproof zipper.

L'intérieur du chausson amovible 50 et quant à lui similaire à celui d'un chausson intérieur classique de chaussure de ski.The inside of the removable liner 50 is similar to that of a conventional inner ski boot liner.

Ce chausson amovible 50 comporte deux volets rabattables l'un sur l'autre 50A, 50B, et une languette centrale 50C entre les volets rabattables 50A, 50B. Un élément de serrage 56 est prévu pour le serrage de l'un des volets rabattables sur l'autre. Cet élément de serrage 56 est par exemple formé par une lanière munie d'une part de fixation Velcro®.This removable liner 50 comprises two folding flaps one over the other 50A, 50B, and a central tongue 50C between the folding flaps 50A, 50B. A clamping element 56 is provided for clamping one of the folding flaps on the other. This clamping element 56 is for example formed by a strap provided with a Velcro ® fastening part.

On notera que l'invention n'est pas limitée au mode de réalisation précédemment décrit, mais pourrait présenter diverses variantes complémentaires couvertes par les revendications annexées.It will be noted that the invention is not limited to the embodiment described above, but could have various additional variants covered by the appended claims.
