Description

Semelles de chaussures à plusieurs niveauxMulti-level shoe soles
La présente invention concerne une semelle intérieure pour chaussures ou souliers, en particulier pour chaussures de sport, y compris la partie chaussure de palmes de natation.The present invention relates to an insole for shoes or shoes, in particular for sports shoes, including the shoe part of swimming fins.
Dans les semelles intérieures de chaussures traditionnelles, la partie inférieure du pied, ou plante, repose sur la semelle plus ou moins selon un seul plan. Les orteils, les articulations métatarsiennes, la voûte plantaire et le talon reposent en effet essentiellement sur un même plan.In the inner soles of traditional shoes, the lower part of the foot, or sole, rests on the sole more or less in one plane. The toes, the metatarsal joints, the arch of the foot and the heel rest in fact essentially on the same plane.
Dans l'art antérieur, on a proposé de nombreuses variantes de semelles, éventuellement composites, aux formes complexes dans le but d'obtenir divers effets : meilleur comfort, traitement de la transpiration, absorption des vibrations etc.. Il s'agit parfois de semelles multi-couches où la plante du pied repose sur des niveaux ou des surfaces différents.In the prior art, numerous variants of soles, possibly composite, with complex shapes have been proposed in order to obtain various effects: better comfort, treatment of perspiration, absorption of vibrations, etc. These are sometimes: multi-layer soles where the sole of the foot rests on different levels or surfaces.
Il a maintenant été constaté de manière surprenante qu'une configuration particulièrement simple d'une semelle apporte à l'utilisateur un avantage considérable si elle est utilisée dans une chaussure de sport. En effet, cette semelle donne au pied une position qui améliore considérablement le rendement physique des membres inférieures, au moins dans certaines disciplines sportives.It has now surprisingly been found that a particularly simple configuration of a sole provides the user with a considerable advantage if it is used in a sports shoe. Indeed, this sole gives the foot a position which considerably improves the physical performance of the lower limbs, at least in certain sports.
En résumé, l'invention concerne une semelle intérieure pour, ou de, chaussures ou souliers présentant une épaisseur non uniforme. La semelle comprend au moins deux niveaux essentiellement plats et parallèles dont les plans sont séparés de 0,8 à 6,0 mm, de préférence de 1,0 à 3,0 mm. La plage de plus grosse épaisseur supporte au moins les orteils du pied, la plage de plus petite épaisseur supporte au moins le talon dudit pied. La semelle peut comprendre 2 à 4 niveaux qui résultent de couches de matière d'épaisseur identiques ou non. La semelle est plus particulièrement destinée à des chaussures de sport, en particulier pour le cyclisme .In summary, the invention relates to an insole for, or of, shoes or shoes having a non-uniform thickness. The sole comprises at least two essentially flat and parallel levels whose planes are separated by 0.8 to 6.0 mm, preferably 1.0 to 3.0 mm. The thicker range supports at least the toes of the foot, the thinner range supports at least the heel of said foot. The sole can comprise 2 to 4 levels which result from layers of material of identical or different thickness. The sole is more particularly intended for sports shoes, in particular for cycling.
L'invention propose donc une semelle intérieure de chaussures ou pour chaussures présentant sur sa longueur une épaisseur non uniforme. Elle comprend au moins deux niveaux essentiellement plats et parallèles dont les plans sont séparés par exemple de 0,8 à 6,0 mm selon la souplesse et le nombre de niveaux de la semelle. La plage de plus grosse épaisseur est apte à supporter au moins les orteils du pied, la plage de plus petite épaisseur étant apte à supporter au moins le talon dudit pied. Les plages s'étendent de part et d'autre de l'axe longitudinal pour former la semelle complète.The invention therefore provides an insole for shoes or for shoes having a non-uniform thickness along its length. It comprises at least two essentially flat and parallel levels, the planes of which are separated, for example, from 0.8 to 6.0 mm depending on the flexibility and the number of levels of the sole. The thicker range is able to support at least the toes of the foot, the thinner range being able to support at least the heel of said foot. The areas extend on either side of the longitudinal axis to form the complete sole.
Selon un mode de réalisation, la semelle selon l'invention comporte plusieurs niveaux plats superposés, formant plateaux, essentiellement parallèles, mais de longueur différentes, de sorte que l'épaisseur s'accroît vers l'avant de la semelle.According to one embodiment, the sole according to the invention comprises several superimposed flat levels, forming plates, essentially parallel, but of different length, so that the thickness increases towards the front of the sole.
Selon ce mode de réalisation, la semelle comporte ainsi un niveau inférieur occupant toute la longueur du pied et sur lequel pose toujours le talon. La semelle présente alors un ou des niveaux supérieurs de longueur plus courtes et différentes l'une de l'autre. Le niveau le plus élevé sert toujours à la pose des orteils. Suivant la longueur du ou des niveaux supérieurs, les articulations métatarsiennes et la voûte plantaire posent seules ou ensemble sur celui ou ceux-ci ou sur le niveau inférieur.According to this embodiment, the sole thus comprises a lower level occupying the entire length of the foot and on which the heel always rests. The sole then has one or more upper levels of shorter length which are different from each other. The highest level is always used for the installation of the toes. Depending on the length of the upper level (s), the metatarsal joints and the arch of the foot pose alone or together on this or these or on the lower level.
Quelles que soient les combinaisons utilisées, il est apparu que c'est toujours la position du talon sur le niveau inférieur, par rapport aux orteils sur le niveau le plus élevé, qui augmente la puissance ou le rendement des membres inférieurs.Whatever combinations were used, it appeared that it is always the position of the heel on the lower level, relative to the toes on the higher level, which increases the power or the yield of the lower limbs.
On a constaté qu'une différence d'un millimètre par niveau est déjà suffisante pour influencer favorablement et de manière substantielle le rendement physique des membres inférieurs, par exemple lorsqu'une force importante doit être exercée sur la pédale d'un vélo.It has been found that a difference of one millimeter per level is already sufficient to favorably and substantially influence the physical performance of the lower limbs, for example when a large force must be exerted on the pedal of a bicycle.
La longueur, le nombre, l'épaisseur et le contour des niveaux supérieurs peuvent varier en fonction des types de chaussures de sport, du sport pratiqué ou du confort souhaité. On comprendra que des variations sensibles hors de la planéité peuvent être envisagées, en particulier en dehors des zones d'appui, sans sortir du cadre de 1 ' invention.The length, number, thickness and outline of the upper levels may vary depending on the types of sports shoes, the sport practiced or the comfort desired. It will be understood that appreciable variations outside the flatness can be envisaged, in particular outside the support zones, without departing from the scope of the invention.
Les sports les plus adaptés pour l'invention sont le vélo, en particulier les compétitions dites "tout terrain" (VTT) pour lesquels la puissance du pied sur les pédales a une grande importance. L'augmentation de la puissance a été vérifiée dans diverses circonstances en utilisant un dynamomètre, cette augmentation variant de 5 à 25 %. On a par ailleurs constaté également un effet très favorable si une semelle selon 1 ' invention est adaptée à une paire de palmes, ou plus encore, à une monopalme.The most suitable sports for the invention are cycling, in particular the so-called "all terrain" (MTB) competitions for which the power of the foot on the pedals is of great importance. The increase in power was checked in various circumstances using a dynamometer, this increase varying from 5 to 25%. It has also been found also a very favorable effect if a sole according to one invention is suitable for a pair of fins, or more still, a single fin.
La matière utilisée pour la semelle de chaussures de sport peut varier mais est généralement identique à celle de semelles traditionnelles dont la semelle est faite, par exemple en cuir mince, liège, latex, mousse de polyuréthanne, caoutchouc ou plastique. La matière de manière connue, peut comprendre une surface ou texture plus ou moins rugueuse ou présenter des perforations.The material used for the sole of sports shoes can vary but is generally identical to that of traditional soles whose sole is made, for example of thin leather, cork, latex, polyurethane foam, rubber or plastic. The material, in a known manner, can comprise a more or less rough surface or texture or have perforations.
Une semelle selon l'invention peut être obtenue par exemple par collage, à l'avant d'une semelle classique monocouche en cuir mince peu rigide, d'un élément plat en latex d'un millimètre ou plus d'épaisseur recouvrant entièrement environ le quart avant de l'extrémité de la semelle originale .A sole according to the invention can be obtained for example by gluing, at the front of a conventional monolayer sole made of thin, slightly rigid leather, of a flat element of latex of a millimeter or more thickness entirely covering approximately the front quarter of the end of the original sole.
On comprendra que, étant donné sa flexibilité, la semelle peut généralement être placée dans le soulier soit la face plate, sans niveau, vers le bas, soit la face plate vers le haut .It will be understood that, given its flexibility, the sole can generally be placed in the shoe either the flat face, without level, down, or the flat face up.
Selon une variante plus conforme aux productions en grande série, la semelle selon l'invention peut être fabriquée directement par moulage d'une pièce. Les épaississements peuvent être symétriques ou asymétrique par rapport à un plan central contenant la partie arrière non épaissie de la semelle selon l'invention.According to a variant more in line with mass production, the sole according to the invention can be manufactured directly by molding a part. The thickenings can be symmetrical or asymmetrical with respect to a central plane containing the non-thickened rear part of the sole according to the invention.
De même les passages de niveaux peuvent être plus ou moins progressifs ou arrondis, tout en conservant des plateaux essentiellement parallèles. Selon un mode de réalisation, une ou plusieurs parties de la semelle peuvent présenter une surface non plate, par exemple complémentaire à la surface du pied.Similarly, the level crossings can be more or less progressive or rounded, while retaining essentially parallel plates. According to one embodiment, one or more parts of the sole may have a non-flat surface, for example complementary to the surface of the foot.
Trois cyclistes sportifs, de puissance et de niveau semblables, ont testé une semelle plate selon l'invention présentant trois plateaux, c'est à dire une épaisseur supplémentaire de 1 mm sous les phalanges métatarsiennes et encore une épaisseur supplémentaire de 1 mm sous les orteils. Un dynamomètre est fixé d'une part à un point d'accrochage statique et d'autre part au niveau de la selle d'un vélo. Les souliers sont des souliers de cyclistes professionnels clipsés à la pédale (pédale automatique) . Les forces de traction maximales ont été mesurées à deux reprises. Les résultats sont reproduits ci-dessous.Three sports cyclists, of similar power and level, tested a flat sole according to the invention having three plates, that is to say an additional thickness of 1 mm under the metatarsal phalanges and another additional thickness of 1 mm under the toes. . A dynamometer is fixed on the one hand to a static attachment point and on the other hand at the saddle of a bicycle. The shoes are shoes for professional cyclists clipped to the pedal (automatic pedal). The maximum tensile forces were measured twice. The results are reproduced below.
