Description

DISPOSITIF DE DETERMINATION PAR REPERAGE VISUEL DE LA DEVICE FOR DETERMINING BY VISUAL LOCATION OF THE
POINTURE D'UNE CHAUSSURE EN FONCTION DE LASHOE SIZE ACCORDING TO THE
CONFIGURATION DU PIEDFOOT CONFIGURATION
La présente invention concerne un dispositif, couramment dénommé pédimètre, qui permet de mesurer la pointure d'une chaussure en fonction de la configuration du pied. Elle concerne plus particulièrement un dispositif de ce type dans lequel la mesure se fait par repérage visuel en fonction d'échelle graduée.The present invention relates to a device, commonly called a pedometer, which makes it possible to measure the size of a shoe as a function of the configuration of the foot. It relates more particularly to a device of this type in which the measurement is made by visual identification according to a graduated scale.
De manière classique, un pédimètre de ce type, comporte un support plan, une butée transversale pour l'appui du talon et une butée longitudinale pour l'appui du côté intérieur du pied, ainsi qu'une échelle graduée, le long de la butée longitudinale, pour la détermination de la taille du pied en fonction de sa longueur. Bien sûr les unités de l'échelle graduée correspondent à la relation entre la longueur du pied et la pointure de la chaussure.Conventionally, a pedometer of this type has a flat support, a transverse stop for the support of the heel and a longitudinal stop for the support on the inside of the foot, as well as a graduated scale, along the stop. longitudinal, for determining the size of the foot as a function of its length. Of course the units of the graduated scale correspond to the relationship between the length of the foot and the size of the shoe.
A moins de la réaliser totalement sur mesure, une chaussure fabriquée industriellement en série a une structure déterminée qui correspond à la structure du pied du consommateur moyen. Or il peut arriver que certains usagers aient une structure de pied qui soit relativement éloignée de cette structure moyenne. Par exemple si , pour une longueur donnée du pied, l'usager a une largeur de pied qui est nettement supérieure à la largeur du pied du consommateur moyen pour la même longueur, cet usager ne pourra pas porter la chaussure dont la pointure correspond à la longueur de pied. C'est pour cette raison que certains fabricants ont diversifié leurs gammes en proposant pour chaque pointure des chaussures de plusieurs largeurs différentes. Pour permettre la sélection entre ces chaussures de même pointure mais de largeurs différentes, on a déjà proposé un pédimètre, par repérage visuel, qui comprend une première échelle graduée correspondant à la mesure du pied pour ce qui est de sa longueur et deux courbes complémentaires pour la visualisation de la largeur du pied . Un tel pédimètre est décrit dans le document FR. A.2.652.995.Unless it is completely tailor-made, a shoe manufactured industrially in series has a determined structure which corresponds to the structure of the foot of the average consumer. However, it may happen that some users have a foot structure which is relatively far from this average structure. For example if, for a given length of the foot, the user has a foot width which is significantly greater than the width of the foot of the average consumer for the same length, this user will not be able to wear the shoe whose size corresponds to the foot length. It is for this reason that certain manufacturers have diversified their ranges by offering for each size shoes of several different widths. To allow the selection between these shoes of the same size but of different widths, a pedometer has already been proposed, by visual identification, which includes a first graduated scale corresponding to the measurement of the foot in terms of its length and two complementary curves for viewing the foot width. Such a pedometer is described in the document FR. A.2.652.995.
Dans un autre mode de réalisation, proposé par le document FR. A.708.794, le pédimètre comporte deux échelles graduées l'une pour le repérage visuel de la longueur du pied et l'autre pour le repérage visuel de la largeur du pied. Lors de l'utilisation de ce pédimètre, le vendeur de chaussures peut ainsi déterminer , en repérant sur les deux échelles graduées quelle est la valeur la plus importante, la pointure de la chaussure qui convient à l'usager. En pratique, le demandeur a cependant constaté qu'il subsiste une proportion non négligeable d'usagers qui ne sont pas satisfaits par la mise en oeuvre d'un tel pédimètre, la chaussure qu'ils essayent et qui correspond à la pointure ainsi déterminée, s'avérant trop petite. En d'autres termes la détermination de la pointure d'une chaussure, basée sur la longueur et la largeur du pied n'est pas totalement satisfaisante. Ceci est également vrai pour les chaussures pour enfants , dont habituellement on ne détermine la taille qu'en fonction de la longueur du pied et non en fonction de la largeur.In another embodiment, proposed by document FR. A.708.794, the pedometer has two graduated scales, one for visual identification of the foot length and the other for visual identification of the foot width. When using this pedometer, the shoe seller can thus determine, by locating on the two graduated scales which is the most important value, the shoe size which is suitable for the user. In practice, the applicant has however noted that there remains a non-negligible proportion of users who are not satisfied with the use of such a pedometer, the shoe they are trying on and which corresponds to the size thus determined, proving to be too small. In other words, determining the size of a shoe, based on the length and width of the foot, is not entirely satisfactory. This is also true for children's shoes, the size of which is usually only determined by the length of the foot and not by the width.
Le but que s'est fixé le demandeur est de proposer un pédimètre c'est-à-dire un dispositif pour la détermination, par repérage visuel, de la pointure d'une chaussure en fonction de la configuration du pied, qui pallie les inconvénients précités en ce qu'il donne satisfaction à tous les usagers, pour lesquels la détermination par repérage visuel de la longueur du pied , voire même de la largeur , n'est pas satisfaisante. Certes dans le cas où l'essai de la chaussure se fait sur le lieu de vente , cette insatisfaction n'est guère rédhibitoire dans la mesure où elle nécessite simplement d'essayer une nouvelle paire de chaussures de pointure supérieure. Cependant cette insatisfaction devient un obstacle majeur lorsque l'essai ne se passe pas sur le lieu de vente et en particulier lorsqu'il s'agit de ventes par correspondance. Ceci entraîne des retours en nombre important avec toutes les répercutions financières et psychologiques qui s'en suivent.The aim set by the applicant is to propose a pedometer, that is to say a device for determining, by visual identification, the size of a shoe according to the configuration of the foot, which overcomes the disadvantages mentioned above in that it gives satisfaction to all users, for whom the determination by visual location of the length of the foot, or even of the width, is not satisfactory. Certainly in the case where the test of the shoe is done at the point of sale, this dissatisfaction is hardly prohibitive insofar as it simply requires trying a new pair of shoes of higher size. However, this dissatisfaction becomes a major obstacle when the test does not take place at the point of sale and in particular when it is a matter of mail-order sales. This leads to large returns with all the financial repercussions and the psychological ones that follow.
Le but visé par le demandeur est parfaitement atteint par le pédimètre qui selon l'invention comporte, de manière connue, un support plan, une butée transversale pour l'appui du talon et une butée longitudinale pour l'appui du côté intérieur du pied.The aim sought by the applicant is perfectly achieved by the pedometer which according to the invention comprises, in known manner, a flat support, a transverse stop for the support of the heel and a longitudinal stop for the support on the inside of the foot.
De manière caractéristique ce pédimètre comporte, rapportés sur le support plan , au moins deux jeux concourants de N bandes rectilignes et adjacentes, à savoir : a) un premier jeu, partant de la butée longitudinale, de N bandes de largeur a, parallèles à la butée transversale et b) un deuxième jeu de N bandes de largeur b, prolongeant le premier jeu en oblique d'un angle a vers la butée transversale, l'intersection des deux dits jeux se faisant selon une ligne oblique de sorte que la longueur moyenne de chaque bande du premier jeu augmente au fur et à mesure de son éloignement de la butée transversale.Typically, this pedometer comprises, attached to the planar support, at least two concurrent sets of N rectilinear and adjacent bands, namely: a) a first set, starting from the longitudinal stop, of N bands of width a, parallel to the transverse stop and b) a second set of N strips of width b, extending the first set obliquely by an angle a towards the transverse stop, the intersection of the two said sets being made in an oblique line so that the average length of each strip of the first set increases as it moves away from the transverse stop.
Le premier jeu de N bandes correspond à l'échelle graduée traditionnelle , pour la détermination de la pointure de la chaussure basée sur la longueur du pied. Le deuxième, quant à lui, permet la détermination de la pointure de la chaussure en fonction de l'emplacement des orteils. En effet le demandeur a constaté, à partir de ses observations auprès des usagers insatisfaits, que ceux-ci présentent, par rapport à la structure moyenne du pied du consommateur moyen , une disposition particulière des orteils s'étendant , pour une longueur voire une largeur donnée, au-delà de l'encombrement moyen. Bien sûr les orteils dont il est question pour ce deuxième jeu de N bandes n'incluent pas le gros orteil et éventuellement l'orteil qui lui est immédiatement adjacent qui sont pris en compte dans le cadre de la détermination de la pointure de la chaussure au titre de la longueur du pied, à l'aide du premier jeu de N bandes.The first set of N bands corresponds to the traditional graduated scale, for determining the shoe size based on the length of the foot. The second, meanwhile, allows the determination of the shoe size according to the location of the toes. Indeed, the plaintiff has noted, from his observations with dissatisfied users, that these present, with respect to the average structure of the foot of the average consumer, a particular arrangement of the toes extending, for a length or even a width given, beyond the average size. Of course the toes in question for this second set of N bands do not include the big toe and possibly the toe which is immediately adjacent to it which are taken into account when determining the size of the shoe at the title of the length of the foot, using the first set of N bands.
Il est à noter que s'agissant de chaussures pour enfants, le dispositif précité avec ses deux jeux de N bandes est suffisant pour obtenir la détermination adéquate de la taille de la chaussure.It should be noted that for children's shoes, the said device with its two sets of N bands is sufficient to obtain the adequate determination of the size of the shoe.
S'agissant d'un pédimètre destiné également aux adultes, il est préférable que celui-ci comporte un troisième jeu de N bandes de largeur ç_, ladite largeur étant inférieure à b, prolongeant le deuxième jeu vers la butée transversale, tout en s'écartant légèrement de la butée longitudinale, la longueur moyenne de chaque bande du deuxième jeu augmentant au fur et à mesure de son éloignement de la butée transversale. Ce troisième jeu de N bandes permet de déterminer la pointure de la chaussure en fonction de la largeur du pied.Being a pedometer also intended for adults, it is preferable that it includes a third set of N bands of width ç_, said width being less than b, extending the second set towards the transverse stop, while s slightly deviating from the longitudinal stop, the average length of each strip of the second set increasing as it moves away from the transverse stop. This third set of N bands makes it possible to determine the shoe size as a function of the width of the foot.
Les différents paramètres entrant dans la constitution du pédimètre de l'invention vont varier en fonction d'une part de la morphologie générale des pieds des utilisateurs et d'autre part du système chaussant utilisé.The various parameters entering into the constitution of the pedometer of the invention will vary depending on the one hand on the general morphology of the feet of the users and on the other hand on the footwear system used.
S'agissant de la morphologie, on peut admettre que des groupes d'utilisateurs, définis par exemple en terme de race ou de lieu géographique, puissent avoir une structure de pied moyenne qui diffère de celle d'autres groupes. Le demandeur a par exemple remarqué que les habitants du sud est asiatique ont de manière générale un pied plus large et plus court que les européens. Cette différence morphologique est prise en compte dans le pédimètre de l'invention à travers la valeur de l'angle a entre le premier et le deuxième jeux de N bandes et éventuellement la valeur de l'angle β entre le deuxième et le troisième jeux de N bandes. S'agissant toujours du problème de morphologie, la structure moyenne du pied des utilisateurs diffère également selon que les utilisateurs sont des enfants, des hommes ou des femmes. La même remarque concernant la valeur de l'angle a et éventuellement de l'angle β s'applique également dans ce cas. L'angle a que font les bandes du deuxième jeu par rapport aux bandes du premier jeu est de préférence de l'ordre de 1 20 à 140 ° . De préférence, la ligne oblique , correspondant à l'intersection entre le premier et le deuxième jeux, coupe la face intérieure de la butée transversale à une distance d. de l'ordre de 5 à 20mm de la butée longitudinale. Bien sûr il serait possible d'envisager toute une panoplie de pédimètres en fonction des groupes morphologiques précités. Par exemple dans le cas d'un pédimètre pour enfant du type européen l'angle a est avantageusement de l'ordre de 1 38 ° et la ligne oblique d'intersection entre le premier et le deuxième jeux de N bandes coupe la butée transversale à une distance d de l'ordre de 1 9mm de la butée longitudinale.With regard to morphology, it can be assumed that user groups, defined for example in terms of race or geographic location, may have a medium foot structure which differs from that of other groups. The applicant has for example noticed that the inhabitants of South East Asia generally have a wider and shorter foot than Europeans. This morphological difference is taken into account in the pedometer of the invention through the value of the angle a between the first and the second set of N bands and possibly the value of the angle β between the second and the third set of N bands. Still being the problem of morphology, the average structure of the users' feet also differs according to whether the users are children, men or women. The same remark concerning the value of the angle a and possibly of the angle β also applies in this case. The angle a made by the strips of the second set with respect to the strips of the first set is preferably of the order of 1 to 140 ° . Preferably, the oblique line, corresponding to the intersection between the first and the second set, intersects the inner face of the transverse stop at a distance d. on the order of 5 to 20mm from the longitudinal stop. Of course it would be possible to envisage a whole panoply of pedometers according to the aforementioned morphological groups. For example, in the case of a European type children's pedometer, the angle a is advantageously of the order of 1 38 ° and the oblique line of intersection between the first and second sets of N bands intersects the transverse stop at a distance d of the order of 1 9mm from the longitudinal stop.
S'agissant d'un pédimètre regroupant les hommes, femmes et grands enfants de type européen, l'angle a est avantageusement de l'ordre de 1 26 ° et la ligne oblique d'intersection entre le premier et le deuxième jeux de N bandes coupe la butée transversale à une distance d. de l'ordre de 6,5mm de la butée longitudinale. Pour ce même pédimètre, l'angle β est de l'ordre de 150 ° et la ligne oblique d'intersection entre le deuxième et le troisième jeux de N bandes coupe la butée transversale à une distance D de l'ordre de 27mm de la butée longitudinale.As this is a pedometer grouping together men, women and large children of the European type, the angle a is advantageously of the order of 1 26 ° and the oblique line of intersection between the first and the second set of N bands cuts the transverse stop at a distance d. of the order of 6.5 mm from the longitudinal stop. For this same pedometer, the angle β is of the order of 150 ° and the oblique line of intersection between the second and the third set of N bands intersects the transverse stop at a distance D of the order of 27mm from the longitudinal stop.
En ce qui concerne le système chaussant, on connaît en fonction des régions du monde différents types de systèmes. Celui utilisé en France met en oeuvre le point de Paris dont le pas est de 6,66mm. Le point anglais a un pas qui fait 1 /3 d'Inch. Il existe également le point américain et le mondo point. Le choix d'un système chaussant déterminé va influer, comme paramètre dans le tracé du pédimètre de l'invention, sur la largeur a et b des bandes du premier et du deuxième jeux et éventuellement la largeur ç des bandes du troisième jeu.Regarding the footwear system, different types of systems are known depending on the regions of the world. The one used in France uses the Paris stitch, the pitch of which is 6.66mm. The English point has a step which makes 1/3 of Inch. There is also the American point and the mondo point. The choice of a specific footwear system will influence, as a parameter in the layout of the pedometer of the invention, the width a and b of the bands of the first and second set and possibly the width ç of the bands of the third set.
Dans une variante de réalisation préférée, d'un pédimètre permettant la détermination d'une pointure selon le point de Paris, les largeurs a, .b, ç des bandes du premier, deuxième et troisième jeux sont respectivement de 6,66mm, 5mm et 2,5mm.In a preferred embodiment, of a pedometer allowing the determination of a size according to the Paris point, the widths a, .b, ç of the bands of the first, second and third sets are 6.66mm, 5mm and 2.5mm respectively.
Partant de ce concept à trois jeux de N bandes concourantes, tel qu'il vient d'être exposé ci-dessus, le demandeur est parti des données statistiques recueillies dans le cadre d'enquêtes sur la structure de pied d'un échantillon d'usagers, pour calculer les différents paramètres relatifs aux trois jeux de bandes, en particulier l'angle a entre le premier et le deuxième jeux , l'angle β entre le deuxième et le troisième jeux , ainsi que la longueur moyenne des différentes bandes des premier et deuxième jeux. Cependant le demandeur a néanmoins constaté une distorsion entre les mesures théoriques et les réactions des usagers au porter , en ce qui concerne la largeur du pied. Il semblerait, selon le demandeur , que la détermination , en statique, de la pointure de la chaussure en fonction de la largeur conduise à sélectionner une chaussure d'une pointure donnée qui , à l'usage, s'avère trop large. Une explication à ce constat pourrait consister dans la capacité de compression du pied en largeur qui est acceptée par l'usager sans impression de gêne. Ceci a conduit le demandeur à éloigner, par rapport à son tracé théorique, le troisième jeu de N bandes, de la butée longitudinale d' environ 4-5mm.Starting from this concept with three sets of N concurrent bands, as it has just been exposed above, the applicant started from the statistical data collected within the framework of investigations on the foot structure of a sample of users, to calculate the different parameters relating to the three sets of bands, in particular the angle a between the first and second sets, the angle β between the second and third sets, as well as the average length of the different bands of the first and second games. However, the applicant has nevertheless noted a distortion between the theoretical measurements and the reactions of the users when wearing it, with regard to the width of the foot. It would seem, according to the applicant, that the static determination of the shoe size as a function of the width leads to selecting a shoe of a given size which, in use, turns out to be too wide. An explanation for this observation could consist in the capacity of compression of the foot in width which is accepted by the user without feeling of discomfort. This led the applicant to distance, with respect to its theoretical layout, the third set of N bands, from the longitudinal stop by approximately 4-5mm.
De manière caractéristique , le pédimètre de l'invention peut également comporter un quatrième jeu de N bandes pour la lecture de la pointure de la chaussure, prolongeant le troisième jeu, chaque bande comportant la mention de la pointure correspondante.Typically, the pedometer of the invention may also include a fourth set of N bands for reading the size of the shoe, extending the third set, each band having the mention of the corresponding size.
La présente invention sera mieux comprise à la lecture de la description qui va être faite du pédimètre à quatre jeux de N bandes , illustré par le dessin annexé dans lequel la figure unique est une représentation schématique en plan dudit pédimètre.The present invention will be better understood on reading the description which will be given of the pedometer with four sets of N bands, illustrated by the appended drawing in which the single figure is a diagrammatic plan view of said pedometer.
Le dispositif de détermination par repérage visuel de la pointure d'une chaussure, en fonction de la configuration du pied, qui fait l'objet de la présente invention ou pédimètre 1 se présente sous la forme d'un support plan 2 et comporte une butée transversale 3, pour le placement du talon et une butée longitudinale 4 pour le placement du côté interne du pied.The device for determining by visual identification of the size of a shoe, according to the configuration of the foot, which is the subject of the present invention or pedometer 1 is in the form of a flat support 2 and includes a stop transverse 3, for the placement of the heel and a longitudinal stop 4 for the placement of the internal side of the foot.
Sur l'exemple illustré, le pédimètre 1 est conçu pour accepter soit le pied droit, soit le pied gauche soit simultanément les deux pieds. La description qui va être faite par la suite le sera exclusivement pour la portion du pédimètre correspondant au placement du pied droit, sachant que l'autre portion est strictement symétrique par rapport à l'axe médian PP de la butée longitudinale 4.In the example illustrated, the pedometer 1 is designed to accept either the right foot, the left foot or both feet simultaneously. The description which will be made subsequently will be exclusively for the portion of the pedometer corresponding to the placement of the right foot, knowing that the other portion is strictly symmetrical with respect to the median axis PP of the longitudinal stop 4.
Sur le support plan 2 sont portés, par tout moyen approprié, notamment par impression au moins deux jeux 5 et 6 concourants de N bandes, parallèles et adjacentes. Dans l'exemple illustré, le nombre N de bandes de chaque jeu 5, 6 est égal à vingt-cinq. Chaque bande 7 du premier jeu 5 a la même largeur a, est parallèle à la butée transversale 3 et a son premier bord 7a qui jouxte la butée longitudinale 4 tandis que le second bord 7t) , a une direction oblique par rapport aux deux butées transversale 3 et longitudinale 4. Tous les seconds bords 7b de toutes les bandes 7 du premier jeu 5 sont alignés selon une ligne oblique 8.On the flat support 2 are carried, by any appropriate means, in particular by printing at least two sets 5 and 6 concurrent of N bands, parallel and adjacent. In the example illustrated, the number N of bands of each set 5, 6 is equal to twenty-five. Each strip 7 of the first set 5 has the same width a, is parallel to the transverse stop 3 and has its first edge 7a which adjoins the longitudinal stop 4 while the second edge 7t), has an oblique direction relative to the two transverse stops 3 and longitudinal 4. All the second edges 7b of all the strips 7 of the first set 5 are aligned along an oblique line 8.
Dans le deuxième jeu 6, chacune des vingt-cinq bandes 9 se trouve exactement dans le prolongement des vingt-cinq bandes correspondantes 7 du premier jeu 5, ce prolongement n'étant pas rectiligne mais formant un angle a, de sorte que les seconds bords 9b de chaque bande 9 du deuxième jeu se rapprochent de la butée transversale 3 par rapport aux premiers bords 9a qui se confondent avec les seconds bords 7b des bandes 7 du premier jeu selon la ligne oblique 8. Un pédimètre , ayant cette configuration restreinte à uniquement deux jeux 5, 6 de N bandes, est suffisant pour la détermination de la pointure de la chaussure d'un enfant.In the second set 6, each of the twenty-five strips 9 is exactly in the extension of the corresponding twenty-five strips 7 of the first set 5, this extension not being straight but forming an angle a, so that the second edges 9b of each strip 9 of the second set approach the transverse stop 3 relative to the first edges 9a which merge with the second edges 7b of the strips 7 of the first set along the oblique line 8. A pedimeter, having this configuration restricted to only two sets 5, 6 of N bands, is sufficient for determining the size of a child's shoe.
Cette détermination se fait par repérage visuel en fonction de la configuration du pied. L'usager, l'enfant en l'occurrence, pose son pied sur le support plan 2, en calant le talon contre la butée transversale 3 et le côté interne du pied contre la butée longitudinale 4. Ce faisant, le pied, au niveau des orteils, recouvre en partie les bandes 7 , 9 des deux jeux 5, 6.This determination is made by visual identification according to the configuration of the foot. The user, the child in this case, places his foot on the flat support 2, wedging the heel against the transverse stop 3 and the inner side of the foot against the longitudinal stop 4. In doing so, the foot at of the toes, partially covers the bands 7, 9 of the two sets 5, 6.
Chacune des N bandes correspond à une pointure donnée, dont la valeur augmente au fur et à mesure que la bande s'éloigne de la butée transversale 3. La détermination de la pointure de la chaussure s'obtient simplement en repérant quelle est la bande la plus éloignée de la butée transversale 3 qui est recouverte au moins partiellement par l'un des orteils de l'usager que cette bande fasse partie du premier 5 ou du deuxième jeu 6 . Cette configuration du pédimètre à uniquement deux jeux 5, 6 de bandes est adaptée pour les enfants, dans la mesure où la largeur du pied n'est pas un paramètre déterminant. Bien sûr dans le cas d'un pédimètre pour enfant , le nombre de bandes sera nettement inférieur à vingt-cinq, par exemple treize bandes allant , en points de Paris, du 1 5 au 27. S'agissant d'un pédimètre pour adulte, il comporte également un troisième jeu 10 de N bandes , prolongeant les seconds bords 9b des bandes 9 du deuxième jeu 6 dans une direction qui s'éloigne sensiblement de la butée longitudinale 4. Les bandes 9 du deuxième jeu 6 ont une longueur moyenne qui augmente au fur et à mesure que l'on s'éloigne des butées, c'est-à-dire que la pointure augmente.Each of the N bands corresponds to a given size, the value of which increases as the band moves away from the transverse stop 3. The determination of the shoe size is obtained simply by identifying which band is the further from the transverse stop 3 which is at least partially covered by one of the user's toes, whether this strip is part of the first 5 or of the second set 6. This configuration of the pedometer with only two sets 5, 6 of bands is suitable for children, since the width of the foot is not a determining parameter. Of course in the case of a pedometer for children, the number of bands will be significantly less than twenty-five, for example thirteen bands ranging, in Paris points, from 1 5 to 27. As it is a pedometer for adults , it also includes a third set 10 of N strips, extending the second edges 9b of the strips 9 of the second set 6 in a direction which moves away substantially from the longitudinal stop 4. The strips 9 of the second set 6 have an average length which increases as one moves away from the stops, that is to say that the size increases.
Dans un exemple précis de réalisation d'un pédimètre en point de Paris pour des utilisateurs hommes, femmes et grands enfants, la largeur a de chaque bande 7 du premier jeu est de 6,66mm, la largeur b de chaque bande 9 du deuxième jeu 6 est de 5 mm et la largeur ç de chaque bande 1 1 du troisième jeu 10 est de 2,5mm. La ligne oblique 8 qui relie les angles au sommet des bords extrêmes 7b et 9a des bandes 7 et 9 du premier 5 et deuxième jeux 6 coupe l'axe des abscisses correspondant à la face 3a de la butée transversale 3 contre laquelle vient s'appuyer le talon à une distance d de l'ordre de 6,5mm par rapport à la butée longitudinale 4.In a specific example of a Paris point pedometer for men, women and older children, the width a of each band 7 of the first set is 6.66mm, the width b of each band 9 of the second set 6 is 5 mm and the width ç of each strip 1 1 of the third set 10 is 2.5 mm. The oblique line 8 which connects the angles at the top of the extreme edges 7b and 9a of the bands 7 and 9 of the first 5 and second sets 6 intersects the x-axis corresponding to the face 3a of the transverse stop 3 against which comes to bear. the heel at a distance d of the order of 6.5 mm relative to the longitudinal stop 4.
La ligne oblique 1 2 qui est analogue à la ligne 8 pour ce qui est du deuxième 6 et troisième 10 jeux coupe le même axe des abscisses à une distance D de l'ordre de 27 mm par rapport à la butée longitudinale 4.The oblique line 1 2 which is analogous to line 8 as regards of the second 6 and third 10 sets intersects the same abscissa axis at a distance D of the order of 27 mm relative to the longitudinal stop 4.
L'angle a que font entre-elles les bandes 7 et 9 du premier 5 et du deuxième 6 jeux est de l'ordre de 126,5 " . L'angle β que font entre- elles les bandes 9 et 1 1 du deuxième 6 et troisième 10 jeux est de l'ordre de 1 50 ° .The angle a that the bands 7 and 9 of the first 5 and the second 6 games make between them is of the order of 126.5 ". The angle β that do between them the bands 9 and 11 of the second 6 and third 10 games is around 1 50 ° .
La détermination de la pointure d'une chaussure pour un adulte est équivalente à la méthode qui a été décrite ci-dessus pour l'enfant exception faite qu'il faut prendre également en considération les bandes 1 1 du troisième jeu 1 0 , qui correspond à la configuration du pied en largeur au niveau des phalanges. En définitive , la détermination exacte de la pointure de la chaussure se fait en prenant la valeur de pointure de la bande la plus extérieure de l'un des trois jeux 5, 6 , 10. La pointure pourra donc être déterminée en fonction de la configuration du pied soit basée sur la longueur de celui-ci au niveau du gros orteil ou éventuellement de l'orteil qui lui est adjacent s'il s'agit d'une bande 7 du premier jeu 5, soit basée sur la configuration des autres orteils s'il s'agit d'une bande 9 du deuxième jeu 6 soit basée sur la largeur du pied prise au niveau des phalanges , s'il s'agit d'une bande 1 1 du troisième jeu 1 0.The determination of the shoe size for an adult is equivalent to the method which has been described above for the child except that it is also necessary to take into account the bands 1 1 of the third game 1 0, which corresponds the configuration of the foot in width at the level of the phalanges. Ultimately, the exact determination of the shoe size is done by taking the size value of the outermost band of one of the three sets 5, 6, 10. The size can therefore be determined according to the configuration of the foot either based on the length thereof at the big toe or possibly the toe which is adjacent to it if it is a strip 7 of the first set 5, or based on the configuration of the other toes if it is a strip 9 of the second set 6 is based on the width of the foot taken at the phalanxes, if it is a strip 1 1 of the third set 1 0.
Pour permettre une lecture plus facile de la valeur de la pointure, correspondant à chaque bande des trois jeux , il peut être prévu, comme illustré sur la figure , un quatrième jeu 1 2 de N bandes , prolongeant les bandes 1 1 du troisième jeu 10, chaque bande comportant la mention de la pointure correspondante.To allow an easier reading of the size value, corresponding to each band of the three sets, a fourth set 1 2 of N bands can be provided, as illustrated in the figure, extending the bands 1 1 of the third set 10 , each strip including the mention of the corresponding size.
Il est à noter que le tracé du pédimètre a été réalisé en sorte que l'emplacement précis , sur le support plan 2, des bandes 1 1 du troisième jeu 1 0 soit éloigné de la face 4a de la butée longitudinale 4 d'une distance de l'ordre de 5mm soit deux fois la largeur ç_, dans le cas du point de Paris par rapport au tracé théorique basé sur les données statistiques de mesure en statique. Cette disposition particulière a été adoptée , par le demandeur , du fait de l'insatisfaction de certains usagers , pour lesquels le tracé théorique du troisième jeu 1 0 de bandes 1 1 donnait une pointure de chaussure qui s'avérait trop large en pratique.It should be noted that the layout of the pedometer has been made so that the precise location, on the flat support 2, of the bands 1 1 of the third set 1 0 is distant from the face 4a of the longitudinal stop 4 by a distance of the order of 5mm, ie twice the width ç_, in the case of the Paris point compared to the theoretical layout based on the statistical measurement data in static. This particular provision has been adopted by the applicant, owing to the dissatisfaction of certain users, for whom the theoretical layout of the third set 1 0 of bands 1 1 gave a shoe size which proved too wide in practice.
La présente invention n'est pas limitée au mode de réalisation qui vient d'être décrit à titre d'exemple non exhaustif. Par exemple s'agissant d'un pédimètre pour enfant, à deux jeux de bandes 5,6, l'angle a est de préférence de l'ordre de 1 38 ° et la ligne oblique 8 entre les deux jeux coupe l'axe des abscisses correspondant à la face 3a de la butée transversale 3 à une distance d qui est de l'ordre de 19mm de la butée longitudinale 4. The present invention is not limited to the embodiment which has just been described by way of non-exhaustive example. For example, in the case of a children's pedometer, with two sets of bands 5,6, the angle a is preferably of the order of 1 38 ° and the oblique line 8 between the two games intersects the axis of the abscissa corresponding to the face 3a of the transverse stop 3 at a distance d which is of the order of 19mm from the longitudinal stop 4.
