Abstract

The shoelace (1) has a flexible envelope for covering an elastic core which is constituted of rubber threads. The envelope has a twisted loop (12) stretched under a traction action applied to the lace on both sides of the twisted loop for lacing and tightening a shoe on a foot. The twisted loop is reformed after relaxation of the traction action for maintaining the tightening of the shoe using the lace.

Description

La présente invention concerne un lacet de chaussure, extensible,The present invention relates to a shoe lace, extensible,

autobloquant, qui permet d'avoir le pied maintenu dans son intégralité et en permanence, quelque soit son utilisation, sans avoir à nouer le lacet. Le maintien d'un pied avec une chaussure à lacet, est traditionnellement effectué avec un lacet non extensible, ce qui oblige l'utilisateur à contrôler et modifier le serrage durant la journée. Ce lacet doit être noué en effectuant un simple ou parfois un double noeud pour maintenir le pied. Lors du premier serrage de la journée, le pied est à une pression normale mais au bout de quatre heures (voire avant), la pression du pied n' est plus la même car, avec la circulation sanguine du pied, ce dernier a légèrement gonflé à cause du serrage qui n 'est plus adapté à la nouvelle pression du pied, ce qui rend désagréable le serrage de la chaussure. Pour finir, aujourd'hui, combien de personne s 'abaissent dans la journée pour refaire son lacet ! Selon l'invention, le lacet extensible autobloquant permet de remédier à ces inconvénients. Il comporte en effet selon une première caractéristique, une partie élastique pour le maintien du pied et une partie autobloquante pour l'utilisation de la chaussure.  self-locking, which allows to have the foot maintained in its entirety and permanently, whatever its use, without having to tie the lace. The maintenance of a foot with a lace-up shoe, is traditionally performed with a non-stretch lace, which requires the user to control and change the tightening during the day. This lace must be knotted by performing a simple or sometimes a double knot to maintain the foot. During the first tightening of the day, the foot is at a normal pressure but after four hours (or even before), the pressure of the foot is no longer the same because, with the blood circulation of the foot, it has slightly inflated because of the tightening that is no longer suitable for the new pressure of the foot, which makes uncomfortable tightening of the shoe. Finally, today, how many people lower themselves during the day to remake his shoelace! According to the invention, the self-locking expandable lace makes it possible to remedy these drawbacks. It comprises in fact according to a first characteristic, an elastic part for the maintenance of the foot and a self-locking part for the use of the shoe.

Ce lacet peut équiper tous modèles de chaussures ; oeillets, passants, anneaux, boucles et crochets. Ce lacet est plus ou moins grand selon la taille et la spécificité de la chaussure. Il est décoré par une large gamme de coloris.  This lace can equip all models of shoes; eyelets, loops, rings, buckles and hooks. This lace is larger or smaller depending on the size and specificity of the shoe. It is decorated by a wide range of colors.

Ce lacet présente les avantages suivants : - plus de noeuds à faire -meilleure circulation du sang - sensation de bien-être durant de longues marches - répartition du serrage suivant la morphologie du pied - plus besoin de se baisser pour refaire son lacet - plus de lacets trop longs -effet autobloquant pour les sportifs Selon les modes particuliers de réalisation : - le lacet a un diamètre de 4 mm et les fausses boules 7 mm - l'effet autobloquant est fait à l'aide de fausses boules ( fig. 5.1 ) -ces fausses boules sont espacées de 1 cm - du faite de la spécificité du lacet ( extensible ), il faut installer le lacet 40 le pied déjà dans la chaussure pour que l'on puisse avoir un maintien idéal et confortable, ainsi, le lacet aura pris l'empreinte exacte du pied.  This lace has the following advantages: - more knots to make - better circulation of the blood - feeling of well-being during long walks - distribution of tightening according to the morphology of the foot - no need to bend down to redo its lace - more than laces too long-self-locking effect for athletes Depending on the particular embodiments: - the lace has a diameter of 4 mm and false balls 7 mm - the self-locking effect is made using false balls (Fig 5.1) -These false balls are spaced 1 cm apart - because of the specificity of the lace (expandable), it is necessary to install the lace 40 the foot already in the shoe so that one can have an ideal and comfortable support, thus, the lace will have taken the exact footprint.

Les dessins annexés illustrent l'invention : La figure 1 : représente le lacet en position d'attente d'installation et/ou installé sur la chaussure, avec les boules autobloquantes espacées de 1 cm La figure 2 : représente le lacet avec les boules effacées. Une tension de part et d'autre du lacet efface automatiquement les fausses boules La figure 3 : représente la coupe du lacet de face (a) et de côté (b ) La figure 4 : représente le lacet installé sur une chaussure La figure 5 : représente le lacet bloqué uniquement au milieu du laçage En référence au dessin de la figure 3, le lacet extensible autobloquant comporte à l'intérieur plusieurs micro élastiques en caoutchouc (1), le nombre de micro élastiques est en fonction de l'utilisation du lacet c'est-à-dire, plus il y a de micro élastiques, plus le lacet sera ferme. A titre d'exemple, il y aura 5 micro élastiques pour un usage normal et 7 pour un usage sportif. Les micro élastiques sont enrobés de polyester tressé (2) terminé aux deux extrémités par un embout en plastique dur (3). Les fausses boules autobloquantes (4) sont faites en même temps que le tressage du lacet, et le fait de ralentir le tressage du lacet avec la machine, crée automatiquement les fausses boules autobloquantes.  The attached drawings illustrate the invention: FIG. 1 shows the lace in the position of waiting for installation and / or installed on the shoe, with the self-locking balls spaced 1 cm apart FIG. 2: represents the lace with the balls erased . A tension on either side of the lace automatically clears the false balls. Figure 3: shows the cut of the lace of face (a) and side (b) Figure 4: represents the lace installed on a shoe Figure 5: represents the lace blocked only in the middle of the lacing With reference to the drawing of FIG. 3, the self-locking stretch lace has inside several rubber micro-elastics (1), the number of microelastics is depending on the use of the lace that is to say, the more micro elastics, the more the lace will be firm. For example, there will be 5 micro elastics for normal use and 7 for sports use. The microelastics are coated with braided polyester (2) terminated at both ends by a hard plastic tip (3). The false self-locking balls (4) are made at the same time as the braiding of the lace, and slowing the braiding of the lace with the machine, automatically creates the false self-locking balls.

L'installation du lacet sera faite le pied déjà dans la chaussure. Laçage droit ou croisé, le principe est le même. On passe le lacet comme un lacet normal en effaçant à chaque passage ( oeillets, passants, crochets, anneaux ou boucles) les fausses boules ( figure 2 ) et une fois le lacet passé, les fausses boules réapparaissent, ce qui le rend autobloquant et évite de nouer le lacet. Ainsi, ce lacet permet de retirer la chaussure et de la remettre sans toucher le lacet. C'est le seul lacet connu aujourd'hui, qui peut être bloqué à n'importe quel endroit du laçage ( 5 ), les boules qui sont bloquées par les trous (7) en position serrée (pour la pratique du sport) sont 1,5 fois plus grosses que celles qui maintiennent le pied (6). Cette particularité est d'autant plus intéressante que l'élastique le plus perfectionné aujourd'hui est incapable de le faire et encore moins un lacet normal.  The installation of the lace will be done already in the shoe. Lacing straight or crossed, the principle is the same. One passes the lace like a normal lace by erasing with each passage (eyelets, loops, hooks, rings or loops) the false balls (figure 2) and once the lace passed, the false balls reappear, which makes it self-locking and avoids to tie the lace. Thus, this lace allows to remove the shoe and put it back without touching the lace. This is the only lace known today, which can be blocked at any point of the lacing (5), the balls that are blocked by the holes (7) in tight position (for the practice of sport) are 1 , 5 times larger than those that hold the foot (6). This particularity is all the more interesting as the most advanced elastic today is unable to do it and even less a normal lace.

Le lacet à mémoire de forme selon l'invention est particulièrement destiné à toutes personnes, jeunes ou âgées, sportif ou pas, et toutes personnes à mobilité réduite.40  The shape memory lace according to the invention is particularly intended for all persons, young or old, sporty or not, and all persons with reduced mobility.
