Description

ARTICLE CHAUSSANT D’ESCALADE MULTI-POINTURES  MULTI-SIZE CLIMBING FOOTWEAR
Domaine technique  Technical area
La présente invention concerne un article chaussant notamment de type chausson ou ballerine, prévu plus spécifiquement pour l'escalade en montagne, falaise, rocher ou structure artificielle.  The present invention relates to an article of footwear, in particular of the slipper or ballerina type, intended more specifically for climbing in the mountains, cliffs, rocks or artificial structures.
Elle vise à permettre une utilisation d’un même article pour une pluralité d’individus de pointures différentes.  It aims to allow the use of the same article for a plurality of individuals of different sizes.
Une application privilégiée est la formation à la pratique de l’escalade, car l’invention permet à plusieurs personnes de pointures différentes, en cours d’apprentissage, d’utiliser un même article chaussant d’escalade, ce qui évite d’avoir à investir dans un nombre conséquent d’articles chaussants de différentes pointures. Cette pratique peut avoir lieu dans des collectivités diverses, telles que le milieu scolaire, les associations sportives...  A preferred application is training in the practice of climbing, because the invention allows several people of different sizes, during training, to use the same article of climbing shoes, which avoids having to invest in a significant number of footwear of different sizes. This practice can take place in various communities, such as schools, sports associations ...
Art antérieur  Prior art
Le chausson est un élément fondamental de l'équipement du grimpeur. C'est en effet celui-ci qui fait l’interface entre le pied du grimpeur et la paroi à escalader, et qui doit transmettre avec précision toutes les sensations et efforts.  The bootie is a fundamental element of the climber's equipment. It is indeed this one which makes the interface between the foot of the climber and the wall to climb, and which must transmit with precision all the sensations and efforts.
A l'origine les chaussures d'escalade étaient en fait des chaussures de montagne avec semelle rigide ne permettant de grimper qu’à partir de prises et nécessitant de ce fait le recours à de nombreux accessoires de grimpe tels que pitons, chevilles, clous,...etc., pour fournir des prises de taille suffisante.  Originally climbing shoes were in fact mountain shoes with rigid sole allowing climbing only from holds and therefore requiring the use of many climbing accessories such as pitons, ankles, nails, ... etc., to provide catches of sufficient size.
Peu à peu se sont développées des techniques de grimpe basées essentiellement sur l’utilisation de l’adhérence entre la chaussure d’escalade et la paroi, et éliminant quasiment tout recours aux accessoires de grimpe traditionnels évoqués ci-avant, puisque les prises peuvent alors avoir une taille beaucoup plus réduite, voir être absentes.  Gradually, climbing techniques developed, essentially based on the use of grip between the climbing shoe and the wall, and eliminating almost all recourse to the traditional climbing accessories mentioned above, since the grips can then have a much smaller size, or even be absent.
De nouvelles chaussures d'escalade, appelées généralement chaussons, ont alors été développées, à la fois beaucoup plus souples et légères que les chaussures de montagne traditionnelles, munies d'une semelle lisse et revêtues de matériau élastomère ou caoutchouc jusque sur la tige pour améliorer l'adhérence.  New climbing shoes, generally called slippers, were then developed, both much more flexible and light than traditional mountain shoes, provided with a smooth sole and covered with elastomer or rubber material up to the upper to improve grip.
Pour le maintien des pieds des utilisateurs dans ces chaussures, il est usuel que ces dernières soient équipées de lacets ou de sangles auto-agrippantes de type attache velcro pour la fermeture latérale, le pied étant en outre maintenu à l’arrière par le contrefort des chaussures. Le brevet FR2848390 propose la mise en œuvre d’une sangle élastique qui vient agir sur le talon de Putilisatcur, en l’enveloppant, qui permet de mieux répartir les efforts appliqués au niveau du talon. Les inventeurs de ce brevet FR2848390 indiquent aussi qu’un chausson équipé de la sanglé élastique décrite, peut être utilisé par des individus de pointures différentes du fait de la tension variable amenée par la sangle. Mais, en pratique, la gamme de pointures est très limitée, comme décrit d’ailleurs dans le brevet (exemple d’une variation de pointure de 39 à 41), avec l’absence de garantie sur le confort optimal. For the maintenance of the feet of the users in these shoes, it is usual that the latter are equipped with laces or hook-and-loop straps of the velcro fastener type for the lateral closure, the foot being moreover held at the rear by the buttress of the shoes. The patent FR2848390 proposes the implementation of an elastic strap which comes to act on the heel of the user, by enveloping it, which makes it possible to better distribute the forces applied at the heel. The inventors of this patent FR2848390 also indicate that a liner equipped with the elastic strap described, can be used by individuals of different sizes due to the variable tension brought by the strap. But, in practice, the range of sizes is very limited, as described elsewhere in the patent (example of a variation of size from 39 to 41), with the absence of a guarantee on optimal comfort.
Or, l’inventeur a pu mettre à jour une problématique nouvelle qui nécessiterait d’avoir des articles chaussants pour l’escalade qui soient multi-pointures dans une gamme élargie.  However, the inventor was able to uncover a new problem which would require having climbing footwear that is multi-size in a wider range.
En effet, lorsque la pratique de l’escalade a lieu en collectivités, notamment lors de séances d’initiation en milieu scolaire, le nombre de paires d’articles chaussants de pointures différentes à acheter et à gérer, peut être très conséquent pour un exploitant.  Indeed, when the practice of climbing takes place in communities, in particular during initiation sessions in a school environment, the number of pairs of footwear of different sizes to buy and manage can be very substantial for an operator. .
A l’échelle d’une école, collège ou lycée, ce nombre peut même être trop important, car l’investissement requis pour le temps d’utilisation peut être une barrière pour l’intendance.  At the scale of a school, college or high school, this number may even be too large, since the investment required for the time of use can be a barrier for stewardship.
Aussi, de fait, un exploitant achète un nombre de paires d’articles limité et les utilisateurs doivent se les échanger en cours de pratique.  Also, in fact, an operator buys a limited number of pairs of items and users must exchange them during practice.
Par exemple, des élèves en initiation à l’escalade doivent attendre qu’un élève de même pointure de pied en est fini avec son parcours, qu’il se déchausse pour pouvoir s’en équiper.  For example, students in climbing initiation must wait until a student of the same foot size is finished with their course, that he takes off his shoes to be able to equip himself with it.
Au final, le temps consacré à l’escalade par individu peut être réduit par le temps nécessaire aux déchaussage/rechaussages consécutifs.  In the end, the time spent on climbing per individual can be reduced by the time required for consecutive heaving / relaunching.
Il existe par conséquent un besoin pour améliorer les articles chaussants d’escalade notamment en permettant à un même article de pouvoir être chausser par une pluralité de pointures de pieds dans une gamme assez large, typiquement jusqu’à sept ou huit pointures consécutives.  There is therefore a need to improve climbing footwear, in particular by allowing the same item to be able to be fitted by a plurality of shoe sizes in a fairly wide range, typically up to seven or eight consecutive sizes.
Le but de l’invention est de répondre au moins en partie à ce besoin. The object of the invention is to meet this need at least in part.
Exposé de l’invention Statement of the invention
Pour ce faire, l’invention concerne un article chaussant d’escalade, comprenant: To do this, the invention relates to a climbing shoe, comprising:
- une semelle, - une tige fixée sur le dessus de la semelle, la tige étant ouverte sur l’arrière en étant dépourvue de contrefort, et - a sole, a rod attached to the top of the sole, the rod being open at the rear and without a buttress, and
- au moins une sangle de serrage, fixée par au moins l’une de ses extrémités sur la tige et adaptée pour maintenir par serrage un pied chaussé entre la semelle et la tige, la sangle de serrage étant réglable en longueur de sorte à permettre le maintien de différentes pointures de pied chaussé.  - at least one tightening strap, fixed by at least one of its ends on the upper and adapted to hold by tightening a shod foot between the sole and the upper, the tightening strap being adjustable in length so as to allow the maintenance of different shoe sizes.
Autrement dit, l’invention consiste à définir un article chaussant d’escalade qui est en quelque sorte tronqué sur l’arrière avec l’absence de contrefort et de préférence l’absence au moins partielle de talon, mais qui est muni d’une sangle de serrage fixée sur la tige et dont le réglage permet de chausser une pluralité de pointures consécutives.  In other words, the invention consists in defining a climbing shoe which is somewhat truncated on the back with the absence of a buttress and preferably the at least partial absence of heel, but which is provided with a tightening strap fixed on the rod and the adjustment of which allows the fitting of a plurality of consecutive sizes.
Ainsi, la solution selon l’invention permet d’utiliser un même article chaussant pour un grand nombre d’utilisateurs qui ont des pointures de pied différentes.  Thus, the solution according to the invention allows the same footwear to be used for a large number of users who have different foot sizes.
De préférence, la semelle est dépourvue au moins partiellement d’un talon. Preferably, the sole is at least partially devoid of a heel.
Avantageusement, la ou les extrémités de la au moins une sangle de serrage est(sont) fixée(s) sur la tige de sorte à permettre un serrage de la sangle au-dessus du calcanéum de l’arrière du pied chaussé. Advantageously, the end or ends of the at least one tightening strap is (are) fixed (s) on the rod so as to allow a tightening of the strap above the calcaneus of the rear of the shod foot.
Selon un mode de réalisation avantageux, l’article chaussant comprend deux sangles de serrage, dont une est fixée par l’une de ses extrémités à l’intérieur d’une première partie latérale de la tige et l’autre est fixée par l’une de ses extrémités à l’extérieur d’une deuxième partie latérale de la tige, en regard de la première partie latérale, l’autre des extrémités de l’une et/ou l’autre sangle de serrage étant munie d’un moyen de serrage des deux sangles entre elles selon une longueur réglable.  According to an advantageous embodiment, the footwear comprises two tightening straps, one of which is fixed by one of its ends inside a first lateral part of the upper and the other is fixed by the one of its ends outside a second lateral part of the rod, opposite the first lateral part, the other of the ends of one and / or the other tightening strap being provided with a means tightening the two straps together according to an adjustable length.
Le moyen de serrage peut être une boucle fixée à l’autre des extrémités d’un des deux sangles de serrage.  The tightening means can be a loop fixed to the other end of one of the two tightening straps.
De préférence, la ou les sangles de serrage est(sont) fixée(s) à la tige en l’(les) orientant de quelques degrés au-dessus de l’horizontale.  Preferably, the tightening strap (s) is (are) fixed (s) to the rod by orienting it (them) a few degrees above the horizontal.
Selon une variante de réalisation, la ou les sangles de serrage est(sont) cousue(s) directement à la tige.  According to an alternative embodiment, the tightening strap (s) is (are) sewn (s) directly to the rod.
De préférence, la ou les sangles de serrage présente(nt) une largeur comprise entre 1 et 5 cm, de préférence encore entre 2 et 4cm. L’invention a également pour objet l’utilisation d’un article chaussant tel que décrit précédemment, en tant qu’accessoire à la pratique de l’escalade en collectivité, telle qu’en milieu scolaire. Preferably, the tightening strap or straps have a width of between 1 and 5 cm, more preferably between 2 and 4 cm. The invention also relates to the use of an article of footwear as described above, as an accessory to the practice of climbing in a community, such as in a school environment.
Description détaillée  detailed description
D’autres avantages et caractéristiques de l’invention ressortiront mieux à la lecture de la description détaillée d’exemples de mise en œuvre de l’invention faite à titre illustratif et non limitatif en référence aux figures suivantes parmi lesquelles :  Other advantages and characteristics of the invention will emerge more clearly on reading the detailed description of examples of implementation of the invention made by way of illustration and not limitation, with reference to the following figures among which:
- la figure 1 est une vue schématique de côté de l’extérieur d’un exemple d’un chausson d’escalade selon l’invention ;  - Figure 1 is a schematic side view of the exterior of an example of a climbing shoe according to the invention;
- la figure 2 est une vue schématique en coupe longitudinale d’un chausson d’escalade selon la figure 1.  - Figure 2 is a schematic view in longitudinal section of a climbing shoe according to Figure 1.
On précise ici dans l’ensemble de la présente demande, les termes « inférieur», « supérieur », « dessus », « dessous », « intérieur », « extérieur », « « interne », « externe» sont à comprendre par référence à un chausson d’escalade selon l’invention en configuration sensiblement à l’horizontal.  It is specified here throughout the present application, the terms "lower", "upper", "above", "below", "interior", "exterior", "" internal "," external "are to be understood by reference to a climbing shoe according to the invention in a substantially horizontal configuration.
Tel qu’illustré en figures 1 et 2, un chausson d’escalade selon l’invention, globalement désigné par la référence 1 comprend, comme usuellement une semelle 2 et une tige 3 fixée sur le dessus de la semelle.  As illustrated in Figures 1 and 2, a climbing shoe according to the invention, generally designated by the reference 1 comprises, as usual a sole 2 and a rod 3 fixed on the top of the sole.
Un système de sangles de serrage 4, typiquement à serrage auto-agrippant, de type Velcro® est cousu à l’intérieur de la tige 3 du chausson. Comme usuellement, ces sangles 4 assurent le réglage de la largeur d’un pied et la fermeture latérale de l’avant pied dans le chausson en le calant sur la semelle 2.  A system of tightening straps 4, typically with self-gripping tightening, of the Velcro® type is sewn inside the upper 3 of the liner. As usual, these straps 4 ensure the adjustment of the width of a foot and the lateral closure of the forefoot in the boot by wedging it on the sole 2.
Selon l’invention, la tige 3 est ouverte sur l’arrière en étant dépourvue de contrefort. De préférence, le chausson 1 est également dépourvu de talon, au moins partiellement. Autrement dit, l’extrémité arrière 20 de la semelle 2 est destinée à ne pas supporter au moins partiellement un talon de pied chaussé dans le chausson 1.  According to the invention, the rod 3 is open on the rear, being without a buttress. Preferably, the liner 1 is also devoid of heel, at least partially. In other words, the rear end 20 of the sole 2 is intended not to at least partially support a foot heel fitted in the boot 1.
Selon l’invention également, il est prévu un système de sangles de serrage 5, fïxée(s) par au moins Tune de ses extrémités sur la tige 3.  According to the invention also, a system of tightening straps 5 is provided, fixed by at least one of its ends on the rod 3.
Ce système 5 est adapté pour maintenir par serrage un pied chaussé entre la semelle 2 et la tige 3. La ou les sangles de serrage 50, 51 sont réglables en longueur de sorte que différentes pointures de pied chaussé peuvent être maintenues dans le chausson.  This system 5 is adapted to hold a shod foot between the sole 2 and the upper by tightening. The tightening strap or straps 50, 51 are adjustable in length so that different sizes of shod foot can be held in the boot.
Dans l’exemple illustré, le système 5 comprend deux sangles de serrage 50, 51. La sangle 50 est cousue par l’une de ses extrémités à l’intérieur d’une première partie latérale de la tige 3. In the example illustrated, the system 5 comprises two tightening straps 50, 51. The strap 50 is sewn by one of its ends inside a first lateral part of the rod 3.
L’autre sangle 51 est fixée par l’une de ses extrémités à l’extérieur d’une deuxième partie latérale de la tige 3, en regard de la première partie latérale.  The other strap 51 is fixed by one of its ends to the outside of a second lateral part of the rod 3, opposite the first lateral part.
L’autre des extrémités de la sangle de serrage 51 est munie d’une boucle de serrage 52 des deux sangles entre elles selon une longueur réglable.  The other end of the tightening strap 51 is provided with a tightening loop 52 of the two straps between them according to an adjustable length.
Typiquement, avec un tel système de serrage 5, un même chausson d’escalade peut servir à chausser une gamme de sept à huit pointures consécutives, par exemple d’une taille 35 à 41 ou d’une taille 38 à 45.  Typically, with such a tightening system 5, the same climbing shoe can be used to fit a range of seven to eight consecutive sizes, for example from a size 35 to 41 or from a size 38 to 45.
La mise en œuvre du système de serrage selon l’invention, n’a aucune influence sur les autres caractéristiques des parties du chausson que l’on recherche pour atteindre les objectifs techniques sur les prises, inhérents à l’escalade, telles que l’utilisation de la pointe avant, l’utilisation de la carre interne...  The implementation of the tightening system according to the invention has no influence on the other characteristics of the parts of the boot that are sought to achieve the technical objectives on the holds, inherent in climbing, such as use of the front point, use of the internal edge ...
On veillera ainsi à fabriquer une semelle 2, typiquement en gomme, avec une pointe large et qui soit suffisamment rigide pour compenser le manque de tenue du chausson si dépourvu de talon.  Care will therefore be taken to manufacture a sole 2, typically of rubber, with a wide toe and which is rigid enough to compensate for the lack of holding of the bootie if it does not have a heel.
D’autres variantes et avantages de l’invention peuvent être réalisés sans pour autant sortir du cadre de l’invention.  Other variants and advantages of the invention can be achieved without departing from the scope of the invention.
L’invention n’est pas limitée aux exemples qui viennent d’être décrits ; on peut notamment combiner entre elles des caractéristiques des exemples illustrés au sein de variantes non illustrées.  The invention is not limited to the examples which have just been described; one can in particular combine together characteristics of the examples illustrated within variants not illustrated.
