Definitions

• the present invention relates to the field of sports shoes, including the field of sports shoes with a rigid shell for skiing, skate, etc..
• the present invention particularly relates to a sports shoe with an exogenous rigid shell and a removable inner boot hiking type.
• ski boots having an inner shoe and a rigid exogenous shell.
• the inner shoe can be extracted from the exogenous shell to walk more comfortably, or inserted into this hull to ski.
• An example of such a shoe is described in WO2009 / 097550.
• An object of the present invention is to provide a new improved exogenous hull sport shoe.
• exogenous shell whose dimensions allow to insert or extract said internal shoe, said exogenous shell for reinforcing said inner shoe and fix it on a sports article; said exogenous shell having a sole and a stem;
• said inner shoe having a protruding pivot on the outer face near the ankle
• said exogenous shell having a housing for housing the pivot.
• the exogenous shell may comprise a stem front portion adapted to pivot relative to the sole around a first joint, and / or a rear portion of rod adapted to pivot relative to said sole around a second joint .
• the inner shoe may be inserted into the exogenous shell respectively extracted from the exogenous shell by pivoting the rear portion of the shaft. Buckles may be provided to keep the stem front portion and the rod back portion closed and tightened against each other. This construction allows easy extraction or insertion of the inner shoe, and effective maintenance of the inner shoe at the ankle.
• the housing for the pivot can be opened respectively closed by rotating the front portion of the rod and / or the rear portion of the rod.
• a portion of the circumference of the housing may be formed by a notch on the front portion of the stem, and another portion of the
• this housing can be formed by a notch on the back of the rod.
• the protruding pivot on the inner shoe may include an annular groove to accommodate the notches. This construction allows a rigid connection between the pivot and the housing, and easy disconnection of these components, simply by opening the front or rear of the rod.
• the shoe may comprise an articulated axillary reinforcement relative to the sole of the exogenous shell and may be attached to the rear rod.
• the sole of the exogenous shell may comprise holes for the evacuation of water inside the shell.
• the exogenous shell has a largely open structure allowing to see the inner shoe and evacuate the water.
• the inner face of this sole may comprise a raised pattern, for example ribs and grooves, cooperating with a corresponding pattern under the sole of the inner shoe, so as to position laterally and height the inner shoe in the exogenous shell.
• This construction therefore provides another rigid attachment point (at least along the axis perpendicular to the foot) between the inner shoe and the exogenous shell.
• the invention also relates to an exogenous shell as described, and a sole internal shoe as described.
• Figure 1 illustrates a complete ski boot with the inner shoe and the closed exogenous shell.
• Figure 2 illustrates an exogenous shell alone in the closed position.
• Figure 3 illustrates an exogenous shell alone with the rear portion of the open shank.
• Figure 4 illustrates an exogenous shell alone with the rear portion and the front portion of the stem both open.
• Figure 5 illustrates an internal shoe only, adapted to cooperate with the exogenous shell of the previous figures.
• Figure 6 illustrates a detail of the attachment of the inner shoe to the exogenous shell.
• Figure 8 illustrates a bottom view of the sole of the exogenous shell.
• Figure 9 illustrates a top view of the sole of the exogenous shell.
• the illustrated sports shoe is a ski boot.
• the invention could also be applied to other types of sports shoes, for example skates, snowboard boots, etc.
• the sports shoe illustrated in Figure 1 comprises an inner shoe 3, shown in more detail in Figure 5, and an exogenous shell 1 shown in Figures 2 to 4.
• the inner shoe 3 is intended to hold the foot warm, and allow a comfortable walk in town, at the ski restaurant or in the snow.
• the exogenous shell 1 is intended to stiffen this internal shoe and allow to introduce it into a ski binding or other sporting article.
• the foot and ankle are held by the inner shoe, which has for example laces, and with greater pressure by the exogenous shell when it is closed.
• the inner shoe 3 comprises various soft padding materials 35 providing thermal insulation, impermeability and ensuring comfort.
• the sole of the inner shoe and reinforcement arches over the base and / or the upper may, however, be made of rigid synthetic materials.
• the inner shoe is however not fully protected by the exogenous shell 1 and must therefore be made of waterproof materials.
• the inner shoe can be made of leather, goretex, nylon etc., with soft padding of synthetic or natural materials.
• the outer shell 1 is on its side made of material
• the dimensions of the exogenous shell allow to insert or extract the inner shoe. As seen in Figure 2, it comprises a sole 10, a rod front portion 1 1 pivotable relative to the sole 10 around a first hinge 1 10, and a rear portion of rod 12 which can rotate relative to the sole 10 around a second hinge 120. In a variant not shown, it is also possible to have only one of the two rod parts that is hinged.
• the inner shoe can be inserted into the exogenous shell,
• the reference 18 illustrates an achillary reinforcement pivoting about an axis 180 connected to the base of the exogenous shell, and which is fixed in closed position against the inner face of the rear rod 12 by means of a pin 182 inserted in an opening in this back rod.
• the exogenous shell 1 can be closed and tightened by means of shoe loops, in this example two loops 1 12 1 13 which allow to stretch cables holding the rod before 1 1 tight against the rear rod 12.
• the internal shoe illustrated in Figure 5 comprises a base 31, a rod 30 and a sole 37.
• the reference 35 indicates the
• the inner shoe 3 further comprises a pivot 300 on the outer face of the ankle, which allows to fix it to the exogenous shell.
• a similar pivot could also be provided on the inner side of the ankle, but is inconvenient for walking, so that for many types of shoe it is better to give up.
• the exogenous shell has a housing 14 on the inner face of the peg to accommodate this pivot.
• the housing is constituted by a notch 140 in a semicircle on the front rod 1 1, and a notch 141 similar to the rear rod 12, which are slid into a groove 301 in the pivot 300.
• the housing 14 can be opened respectively closed by pivoting the front portion of the rod 1 1 and / or the rear portion of the rod 12 of the exogenous shell.
• the pivot 300 is therefore a rigid attachment point between the inner shoe 3 and the exogenous shell 1, for transmitting the forces effectively between these two parts of the shoe.
• the base 31 of the inner shoe is articulated relative to the stem 30 of the inner shoe around the two pivots, so as to allow limited flexion of the rod.
• Figures 8 and 9 illustrate two views of the sole 10 of the exogenous shell 1.
• the sole 10 comprises a front plate 102 and a rear plate 103 which constitute replaceable wear parts fixed under the sole. Holes 100 through the sole 10 allowing the water and snow accumulating inside the exogenous hull to escape.
• the inner face of the sole 10 is provided with a raised pattern, here constituted by ribs 101 separated by grooves and collaborating with grooves and corresponding ribs under the sole 37 of the inner shoe, to ensure a precise lateral positioning of the inner shoe 3 in the exogenous shell 1, and a transmission of forces between these two parts of the shoe.
• This construction also allows to guarantee a constant positioning of the inner shoe in the exogenous shell, even if the sole 37 wears out after walking; indeed the bottom of the grooves under the sole 37 is unlikely to wear, so that the vertical position of the inner shoe remains unchanged even if the ribs of the sole 37 wear out.
• the exogenous shell advantageously has a widely open structure allowing to see the inner shoe.
• the sole of the exogenous shell is composed of two parts welded, glued or mechanically joined to each other; by varying the longitudinal position of fixation, it is possible to produce soles of different sizes from a single mold.
