Description

La présente invention a pour objet un chausson intérieur de confort pour chaussure de ski à tige articulée sur un bas de coque, dont une partie est destinée à entourer le pied et le talon et présente une languette de cou-de-pied.The subject of the present invention is an inner comfort boot for ski boot with an articulated upper on a shell, part of which is intended to surround the foot and the heel and has a instep tongue.

On connaît divers types de chausson de confort adaptés aux différents types de chaussures.Various types of comfort booties are known which are suitable for different types of shoes.

Les chaussures comportant une tige en forme de collier articulée sur un bas de coque à volume variable et munies de trois à cinq boucles de serrage sont équipées d'un chausson en forme de botte échancrée à l'avant et munie d'une languette de cou-de-pied fermant cette échancrure. Ces chaussons entourent le pied, le talon, ainsi que l'arrière et les côtés de la cheville de manière uniforme sans discontinuité et remplissent parfaitement leur fonction qui est d'assurer le confort et le maintien du pied et de la cheville. De tels chaussons sont décrits, par exemple, dans les brevets US 4 523 392 et 4 499 676.Shoes with a collar-shaped upper articulated on a variable volume shell bottom and fitted with three to five tightening loops are fitted with a boot-shaped bootie notched at the front and fitted with a neck tongue -foot closing this notch. These slippers surround the foot, the heel, as well as the back and the sides of the ankle in a uniform manner without discontinuity and perfectly fulfill their function which is to ensure the comfort and the maintenance of the foot and the ankle. Such slippers are described, for example, in US Patents 4,523,392 and 4,499,676.

L'apparition de chaussures dites à entrée arrière, c'est-à-dire comportant une tige présentant une partie arrière basculable vers l'arrière pour faciliter le chaussage, a conduit à utiliser des chaussons en forme de botte fendue à l'arrière de haut en bas, tels que décrits dans les documents EP-A-0 066 133 (US 4 428 130) et EP-A-0 107 841. Lors de la pratique du ski, la tenue du talon dans la chaussure est essentielle pour une conduite précise des skis. Or, de tels chaussons, en raison de la fente arrière, n'assurent pas une bonne retenue du talon vers le haut.The appearance of shoes said to have rear entry, that is to say comprising a upper having a rear part that can be tilted back to facilitate putting on, has led to the use of boot-shaped slippers split at the rear of top to bottom, as described in documents EP-A-0 066 133 (US 4 428 130) and EP-A-0 107 841. When skiing, holding the heel in the boot is essential for precise handling of skis. However, such slippers, due to the rear slit, do not provide good retention of the heel upwards.

Plus récemment est apparu un nouveau type de chaussure réalisant un compromis entre les chaussures à entrée arrière et les chaussures dites à quatre boucles. Ce sont les chaussures dites MID ENTRY décrites dans le brevet US 4 839 973. Ces chaussures sont équipées d'un chausson comprenant une partie supérieure, en forme de collier, articulée au niveau des malléoles sur une partie inférieure entourant le pied et le talon. Un tel chausson présente plusieurs inconvénient : l'articulation des deux parties nécessite des rivets ou autres moyens auxiliaires qui constituent des points durs dans une zone très sensible et qui sont par conséquent source de gêne et de compressions pouvant être douloureuses. La partie supérieure articulée du chausson vient se superposer à la partie inférieure juste au-dessus du talon, dans la région également sensible du tendon d'Achille, en créant une surépaisseur et une discontinuité également source de compressions locales pouvant être douloureuses. Cette superposition ne peut pas être déplacée vers le haut, car le basculement vers l'arrière de la partie supérieure du chausson ne serait plus possible. Ce basculement implique au contraire des contraintes, l'arc décrit par le bord inférieur de la partie articulée devant épouser le mieux possible la courbure du chausson dans la région du talon. En outre, un espace doit être laissé entre la coque de la chaussure et le chausson dans cette région du talon pour permettre le basculement de la partie supérieure du chausson. Or, un tel espace est incompatible avec un bon maintien du talon dans la chaussure.More recently, a new type of shoe has appeared, achieving a compromise between rear entry shoes and so-called four-buckle shoes. These are the so-called MID ENTRY shoes described in US Pat. No. 4,839,973. These shoes are equipped with a slipper comprising an upper part, in the form of a collar, articulated at the malleoli on a lower part surrounding the foot and the heel. Such a boot has several drawbacks: the articulation of the two parts requires rivets or other auxiliary means which constitute hard points in a very sensitive area and which are therefore a source of discomfort and compressions which can be painful. The articulated upper part of the slipper is superimposed on the lower part just above the heel, in the region also sensitive to the Achilles tendon, creating an excess thickness and a discontinuity also source of local compressions which can be painful. This overlap cannot be moved upwards, as it would no longer be possible to tilt the upper part of the boot backwards. This tilting, on the contrary, involves constraints, the arc described by the lower edge of the articulated part having to conform as best as possible to the curvature of the boot in the heel region. In addition, a space must be left between the shell of the shoe and the liner in this region of the heel to allow tilting of the upper part of the liner. However, such a space is incompatible with good support of the heel in the shoe.

La présente invention a pour but de réaliser un chausson assurant confort et parfaite tenue du talon, comme les chaussons en forme de botte, tout en offrant la facilité de chaussage des chaussons pour chaussures à entrée arrière et MID ENTRY.The object of the present invention is to produce a bootie ensuring comfort and perfect heel hold, like boot booties, while offering the ease of fitting booties for shoes with rear entry and MID ENTRY.

Le chausson de confort selon l'invention est caractérisé en ce qu'il présente à l'arrière une échancrure verticale dont le fond est situé sensiblement au-dessus du calcaneum, dans la zone du tendon d'Achille.The comfort liner according to the invention is characterized in that it has a vertical notch at the rear, the bottom of which is situated substantially above the calcaneum, in the area of the Achilles tendon.

Le fond de l'échancrure sera généralement situé à une hauteur comprise entre 8 et 15 cm au-dessus de la semelle de la chaussure.The bottom of the notch will generally be located at a height of between 8 and 15 cm above the sole of the shoe.

Selon un mode d'exécution préféré de l'invention, la partie destinée à entourer le talon présente une languette arrière s'étendant vers le haut sur une partie au moins de l'échancrure verticale.According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, the part intended to surround the heel has a rear tongue extending upwards over at least part of the vertical notch.

La languette assure la continuité du chausson dans la région du tendon d'Achille, tout en s'écartant aisément lors du chaussage. Le chausson peut comporter, de manière connue en soi, une partie indépendante, en forme de demi-collier, fixée à la tige et destinée à venir s'appuyer contre le bas du mollet. En position fermée, la partie indépendante du chausson vient de préférence se superposer à la languette en créant une discontinuité, mais celle-ci n'est pas gênante, car elle est située dans une partie du bas de la jambe où il n'y a pas de pression notable ni d'appui localisé.The tongue ensures the continuity of the liner in the region of the Achilles tendon, while easily deviating when putting on. The liner may comprise, in a manner known per se, an independent part, in the form of a half-collar, fixed to the upper and intended to come to bear against the bottom of the calf. In the closed position, the independent part of the bootie preferably comes to be superimposed on the tongue, creating a discontinuity, but this is not a problem, since it is located in a part of the lower leg where there is no no significant pressure or localized support.

Selon une forme d'exécution préférée de l'invention, le chausson présente des zones de plus grande compressibilité dans la région sensible des malléoles.According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, the liner has areas of greater compressibility in the sensitive region of the malleoli.

Le dessin annexé représente, à titre d'exemple, une forme d'exécution de l'invention.The accompanying drawing shows, by way of example, an embodiment of the invention.

La figure 1 représente le chausson.Figure 1 shows the slipper.

La figure 2 est une vue en coupe longitudinale d'une chaussure équipée du chausson représenté à la figure 1.FIG. 2 is a view in longitudinal section of a shoe fitted with the liner shown in FIG. 1.

Le chausson de confort représenté à la figure 1, comprend une partie 1 entourant le pied et le talon. Cette partie 1 est constituée de panneaux 2, 3, 4, 5 cousus ensembles, chacun de ces panneaux étant par exemple constitué d'un tricot synthétique collé sur un panneau en matière synthétique, de préférence cellulaire. Les coutures, telles que les coutures 7, sont telles qu'une parfaite continuité est assurée entre les panneaux. Les panneaux pourraient être réalisés de toute autre manière connue, par exemple comme décrit dans les brevets US 5 050 319, 4 893 417 ou 4 723 364.The comfort liner shown in Figure 1, includes a portion 1 surrounding the foot and the heel. This part 1 is made up of panels 2, 3, 4, 5 sewn together, each of these panels being for example made of a synthetic knitted fabric glued to a panel of synthetic material, preferably cellular. The seams, such as the seams 7, are such that perfect continuity is ensured between the panels. The panels could be produced in any other known manner, for example as described in US Patents 5,050,319, 4,893,417 or 4,723,364.

La partie inférieure 1 présente, à l'arrière, une languette 8 prolongeant le panneau 3 et s'étendant au-dessus du talon, dans la zone correspondant au tendon d'Achille, plutôt dans la zone où celui-ci se raccorde au muscle. Cette languette 8 peut être repliée sans effort vers l'arrière. A l'avant, la partie inférieure 1 est munie d'une languette de cou-de-pied 9. Cette languette, de conception usuelle, est en plastique semi-rigide revêtue intérieurement d'un rembourrage. Les coutures 7 reliant les panneaux 4 et 5 aux panneaux 2 et 3 forment, sur le panneau 3, des échancrures dégageant les malléoles et les panneaux 4 et 5 présentent un rembourrage plus important que les panneaux 2 et 3 de manière à mieux protéger les malléoles contre les effets de la pression de la coque sur celles-ci.The lower part 1 has, at the rear, a tongue 8 extending the panel 3 and extending above the heel, in the zone corresponding to the Achilles tendon, rather in the zone where the latter connects to the muscle. . This tongue 8 can be folded back effortlessly. At the front, the lower part 1 is provided with an instep tab 9. This tab, of conventional design, is made of semi-rigid plastic coated internally with padding. The seams 7 connecting the panels 4 and 5 to the panels 2 and 3 form, on the panel 3, notches freeing the malleoli and the panels 4 and 5 have a greater padding than the panels 2 and 3 so as to better protect the malleoli against the effects of hull pressure on them.

Le chausson de confort comporte en outre une partie supérieure 10 indépendante de la partie inférieure 1. Cette partie 10 est en forme de demi-collier. Il est réalisé de même manière que la languette 9. Cette partie 10 est munie dans sa partie supérieure d'une poche 11 destinée à la fixation de cette partie 10 sur la tige de la chaussure, celle-ci venant s'enfiler dans la poche 11.The comfort liner also has an upper part 10 independent of the lower part 1. This part 10 is in the form of a half-collar. It is produced in the same way as the tongue 9. This part 10 is provided in its upper part with a pocket 11 intended for the fixing of this part 10 on the upper of the shoe, the latter coming to slip into the pocket 11.

La figure 2 représente une chaussure de type MID ENTRY équipée du chausson représenté à la figure 1. Cette chaussure est du même type que celle décrite dans le brevet US 4 839 973. On reconnaît un bas de coque 12 sur lequel est articulée une partie inférieure de tige 13, en forme d'étrier, autour d'un axe 14 et une partie supérieure de tige 15, en forme de collier, articulée sur le bas de coque 12 autour d'un axe 16 correspondant approximativement à la position occupée par les malléoles. Les parties 15 et 13 sont reliées par une biellette 17. On reconnaît également un cliquet 18 monté sur l'étrier 13 et destiné à verrouiller la tige de la chaussure en position de descente.FIG. 2 represents a shoe of the MID ENTRY type equipped with the liner shown in FIG. 1. This shoe is of the same type as that described in US Pat. No. 4,839,973. We recognize a shell bottom 12 on which a lower part is articulated rod 13, in the shape of a stirrup, around an axis 14 and an upper part of rod 15, in the form of a collar, articulated on the bottom of the shell 12 around an axis 16 corresponding approximately to the position occupied by the malleoli. The parts 15 and 13 are connected by a link 17. We also recognize a pawl 18 mounted on the stirrup 13 and intended to lock the upper of the shoe in the descent position.

Il ressort du dessin que la partie inférieure 1 du chausson enveloppe parfaitement le talon, sans discontinuité et, ce qui est essentiel pour le maintien du talon dans le sens vertical, également largement au-dessus du talon. La partie arrière 3 vient en outre s'appuyer de façon uniforme contre la paroi intérieure de la coque. Cet appui assure le maintien du talon sans créer de zones de pression localisées. La languette 8 assure la continuité avec la partie supérieure 10 du chausson dont on voit, à la figure 2, la poche 11 enfilée sur le collier 15.It appears from the drawing that the lower part 1 of the liner wraps the heel perfectly, without discontinuity and, which is essential for maintaining the heel in the vertical direction, also largely above the heel. The rear part 3 also bears uniformly against the inner wall of the shell. This support maintains the heel without creating localized pressure zones. The tongue 8 ensures continuity with the upper part 10 of the liner, the pocket 11 of which is seen in FIG. 2, threaded onto the collar 15.

Pour chausser et déchausser, le collier 15 et l'étrier 13 sont basculés vers l'arrière. La souplesse de la languette 8 permet aisément d'introduire le pied dans le chausson ou de le retirer.To put on and take off, the collar 15 and the stirrup 13 are tilted backwards. The flexibility of the tongue 8 makes it easy to introduce the foot into the liner or remove it.

On remarquera que le rembourrage de la partie supérieure 10 du chausson vient s'intercaler entre la languette 19 du bas de coque 1 et la languette 8 du chausson, de telle sorte que le porteur à l'impression que la languette 8 est elle-même munie d'un rembourrage.It will be noted that the padding of the upper part 10 of the liner is interposed between the tongue 19 of the shell bottom 1 and the tongue 8 of the liner, so that the wearer has the impression that the tongue 8 is himself fitted with padding.

L'invention n'est pas limitée à la forme d'exécution décrite ci-dessus. Selon une autre forme de réalisation, la pièce 10 passe devant la languette 8 du chausson de telle sorte que la languette est entraînée en arrière par la pièce 10 lors de l'ouverture de la tige de la chaussure. Selon une autre forme d'exécution, la languette 8 pourrait être supprimée. Selon une autre forme d'exécution, la languette 8 et les parties latérales 4 et 5 pourraient s'étendre jusqu'au haut de la tige de telle manière que la partie indépendante 10 peut être supprimée, celle-ci étant essentiellement remplacée par la languette, celle-ci étant, dans ce cas, pourvue de moyens de fixation à la partie postérieure de la tige.The invention is not limited to the embodiment described above. According to another embodiment, the part 10 passes in front of the tongue 8 of the liner so that the tongue is driven back by the part 10 when the upper of the shoe is opened. According to another embodiment, the tongue 8 could be deleted. According to another embodiment, the tongue 8 and the lateral parts 4 and 5 could extend to the top of the rod so that the independent part 10 can be omitted, the latter being essentially replaced by the tongue , the latter being, in this case, provided with means for fixing to the rear part of the rod.
