Abstract

The boot is constituted by an upper (2) with an external sole and a partially elastic lining (10). The lining defines a volume equal to the largest volume of foot which is to be fit in the boot. The lining volume is adjusted to adapt to the actual volume of foot in the boot by a double row of loops (16) with a lace passing through them. The lace has a pulling and locking tab (19) fixed to its upper loop and a self gripping fastener complementary to a similar fastener (7) on the boot tongue. The spacing of the double row of loops to define between the lining and the boot bottom, without lacing together the loops, a volume corresponding to the maximum foot volume to be introduced. When the loops are laced together the enclosed volume then corresponds to the minimum foot volume to be inserted.

Description

La présente invention a pour objet une chaussure destinée plus particulièrement à la pratique du sport, d'un type constitué d'une tige et d'une semelle externe ainsi que d'une doublure au moins partiellement élastique disposée à l'intérieur de la tige.The present invention relates to a shoe intended more particularly for the practice of sport, of a type consisting of an upper and an outer sole as well as an at least partially elastic lining disposed inside the upper .

L'utilisation de telles doublures élastiques, notamment dans les chaussures de sport, jouit d'une faveur de plus en plus grande pour les qualités proprioceptives qu'elles apportent.The use of such elastic linings, in particular in sports shoes, is enjoying increasing favor for the proprioceptive qualities which they bring.

Par exemple, le US 2 147 197 déposé en 1936 montre une chaussure de sport constituée d'une chaussette en jersey ancrée par son fond sur la semelle, et d'une tige externe entourant partiellement la chaussette et fixée sur la semelle de façon totalement indépendante de la chaussette, la structure tricotée de la chaussette conférant à celle-ci une certaine élasticité.For example, US 2,147,197 filed in 1936 shows a sports shoe consisting of a jersey sock anchored by its bottom to the sole, and an external rod partially surrounding the sock and fixed on the sole completely independently of the sock, the knitted structure of the sock giving it a certain elasticity.

Plus récemment, le US 4 736 531 déposé en 1987 montre une chaussure de sport, destinée plus particulièrement à la pratique de l'aérobic, qui comporte une sorte de demi-chaussette interne entourant complètement l'avant pied, et dont le fond est ancré sur la semelle externe, la chaussette étant libre "d'agripper" le pied indépendamment de la tige externe.More recently, US 4,736,531 filed in 1987 shows a sports shoe, intended more particularly for the practice of aerobics, which comprises a kind of internal half-sock completely surrounding the forefoot, and the bottom of which is anchored on the outer sole, the sock being free to "grab" the foot independently of the outer upper.

Dans ce cas, la chaussette est réalisée en un matériau extensible tel que celui connu sous la dénomination commerciale spandex, ce qui contrairement au US 2 147 197 permet réellement à la chaussette d'envelopper étroitement le pied et de suivre les mouvements de celui-ci.In this case, the sock is made of an extensible material such as that known under the trade name spandex, which unlike US 2,147,197 actually allows the sock to tightly wrap the foot and follow the movements thereof. .

Par le FR 2 711 896 au nom de la demanderesse ont également été proposées différentes constructions de chaussures de sport, destinées plus particulièrement à la pratique du ski de fond, et incorporant une doublure en matériau élastique disposée à l'intérieur d'une tige, dans le but d'augmenter les sensations du pied et de la cheville, et avoir une information précise sur leurs positions spatiales respectives indispensables à une bonne précision du geste.By FR 2 711 896 in the name of the plaintiff have also been proposed various constructions of sports shoes, intended more particularly for the practice of cross-country skiing, and incorporating a lining of elastic material placed inside a rod, in order to increase the sensations of the foot and ankle, and have precise information on their respective spatial positions essential for good precision of the gesture.

En fait, le type de chaussure connu par ces deux derniers brevets utilise les qualités proprioceptives de certaines parties du pied et de la cheville.In fact, the type of shoe known by these last two patents uses the proprioceptive qualities of certain parts of the foot and of the ankle.

Pour avoir un rendu optimal, il est nécessaire que la doublure élastique enveloppe étroitement le pied et la cheville en constituant une sorte de seconde peau, quel que soit le pied mis à l'intérieur de la chaussure.To have an optimal rendering, it is necessary that the elastic lining tightly envelops the foot and the ankle by constituting a kind of second skin, whatever the foot put inside the shoe.

Une telle doublure élastique doit donc être conformée de façon à définir au repos un volume légèrement inférieur au volume du pied qu'elle est destinée à recevoir de façon à exercer sur ce dernier une légère pression uniforme, sans toutefois exercer un serrage excessif.Such an elastic lining must therefore be shaped so as to define at rest a volume slightly less than the volume of the foot that it is intended to receive so as to exert on the latter a slight uniform pressure, without however exerting excessive tightening.

En pratique, ces doublures élastiques sont donc conçues avec un volume légèrement inférieur au volume du pied le plus mince pouvant être mis à l'intérieur de la chaussure.In practice, these elastic linings are therefore designed with a volume slightly less than the volume of the thinnest foot that can be put inside the shoe.

Il en résulte, notamment pour les pieds plus gros, des difficultés lors du chaussage, ces difficultés étant d'autant plus grandes que la doublure élastique "monte" plus haut sur la cheville comme dans le cas des chaussures de sport faisant l'objet du FR 2 711 896.This results, in particular for the larger feet, in difficulties during putting on, these difficulties being all the greater as the elastic lining "rises" higher on the ankle as in the case of the sports shoes which are the subject of FR 2,711,896.

Certes, il est prévu dans le FR 2 711 896 précité, de munir la doublure élastique d'une fente permettant la mise en place du pied et pouvant être fermée par des moyens auto agrippants.Admittedly, provision is made in the aforementioned FR 2 711 896, to provide the elastic lining with a slot allowing the positioning of the foot and which can be closed by self-gripping means.

Cependant, une telle construction ne permet pas un réglage et une adaptation précis du volume de la chaussette ou doublure élastique au volume du pied.However, such a construction does not allow precise adjustment and adaptation of the volume of the sock or elastic lining to the volume of the foot.

De plus, cette construction avec fente d'ouverture n'est pas compatible avec l'utilisation d'une tige haute, fermée, ne fournissant qu'un accès très limité à l'intérieur de la chaussure et insuffisant pour ouvrir et fermer facilement la fente de la doublure.In addition, this construction with opening slot is not compatible with the use of a high, closed rod, providing only very limited access to the interior of the shoe and insufficient to easily open and close the lining slot.

Il peut également être prévu que le volume de la doublure élastique corresponde à celui d'un pied moyen devant être mis à l'intérieur de la chaussure. Dans un tel cas, le problème de chaussage des gros pieds demeure, tandis qu'un pied mince ne bénéficie plus de l'enveloppement étroit par la doublure élastique.It can also be provided that the volume of the elastic lining corresponds to that of a medium foot to be placed inside the shoe. In such a case, the problem of fitting the large feet remains, while a thin foot no longer benefits from the narrow wrapping by the elastic lining.

Enfin, il est également souhaitable de pouvoir conserver une structure de doublure élastique complètement fermée notamment pour des raisons d'étanchéité.Finally, it is also desirable to be able to keep a completely closed elastic lining structure, in particular for sealing reasons.

Le but de la présente invention est donc de remédier à ces inconvénients et de fournir une construction de chaussure à doublure élastique améliorée et conciliant notamment les problèmes antagonistes de facilité d'entrée du pied, d'adaptation précise au volume de ce dernier et d'étanchéité.The object of the present invention is therefore to remedy these drawbacks and to provide a shoe construction with an improved elastic lining and reconciling in particular the conflicting problems of ease of entry of the foot, of precise adaptation to the volume of the latter and of sealing.

Le but de la présente invention est également d'améliorer les aspects conforts et sensations proprioceptives d'une telle chaussure.The object of the present invention is also to improve the comfort aspects and proprioceptive sensations of such a shoe.

Ce but est atteint dans la chaussure selon l'invention qui est du type constituée d'une tige, d'une semelle externe et d'une doublure au moins partiellement élastique disposée à l'intérieur de la chaussure, par le fait que la doublure élastique définit au repos un volume correspondant au moins à celui du plus grand volume de pied destiné à être reçu dans la chaussure, et qu'elle comporte des moyens de réglage de son volume en vue d'une adaptation de celui-ci au volume réel du pied mis à l'intérieur de la chaussure.This object is achieved in the shoe according to the invention which is of the type consisting of a rod, an outer sole and an at least partially elastic lining disposed inside the shoe, by the fact that the lining elastic defines at rest a volume corresponding at least to that of the largest foot volume intended to be received in the shoe, and that it comprises means for adjusting its volume with a view to adapting it to the actual volume of the foot inside the shoe.

Une telle construction permet de conserver une doublure élastique complètement fermée, tout en permettant une mise en place facile du pied du fait du volume plus grand de cette doublure, et en offrant une possibilité d'adaptation précise à chaque pied, et par conséquent de plus grandes qualités proprioceptives.Such a construction makes it possible to keep a completely closed elastic lining, while allowing an easy installation of the foot because of the greater volume of this lining, and by offering a possibility of precise adaptation to each foot, and consequently more great proprioceptive qualities.

Selon un mode de réalisation avantageux, les moyens de réglage du volume sont constitués par une double rangée de passants disposés en vis à vis dans une zone limitée de la doublure élastique et écartés d'une valeur correspondant sensiblement à la différence de volume maximale de pied, et par un lacet en boucle passant à travers les passants et associé à un moyen de traction et de blocage de ce lacet.According to an advantageous embodiment, the volume adjustment means consist of a double row of loops placed opposite one another in a limited area of the elastic lining and separated by a value corresponding substantially to the difference in maximum foot volume , and by a loop lace passing through the passers-by and associated with a means of traction and blocking of this lace.

Ainsi, il suffit d'exercer une traction sur la boucle du lacet pour rapprocher les deux rangées de passants et de bloquer cette boucle dans la position souhaitée pour diminuer le volume de la doublure élastique à la valeur désirée.Thus, it suffices to pull the loop of the lace to bring the two rows of loops together and to block this loop in the desired position to reduce the volume of the elastic lining to the desired value.

Selon un autre aspect de l'invention, la chaussure est munie d'une languette, et la languette est sollicitée élastiquement par la doublure élastique contre le pied de l'utilisateur.According to another aspect of the invention, the shoe is provided with a tongue, and the tongue is urged elastically by the elastic lining against the foot of the user.

Avec une telle construction, la languette est appliquée sur toute la partie dessus de pied, cou de pied de l'utilisateur, ce qui permet, d'une part, d'augmenter la surface du pied sollicitée par la doublure élastique et donc d'augmenter les sensations et informations proprioceptives reçues par le pied, et d'autre part, de répartir, par le biais de la languette faisant office de plaque de répartition de pression, l'ensemble de la pression élastique exercée par la doublure élastique sur toute la partie du pied en contact avec ladite languette, c'est-à-dire aussi bien le dessus du pied que la partie avant du tibia, et par conséquent obtenir une répartition de pression plus homogène et plus confortable pour le pied.With such a construction, the tongue is applied over the entire upper part of the foot, instep of the user, which allows, on the one hand, to increase the surface of the foot stressed by the elastic lining and therefore increase the sensations and proprioceptive information received by the foot, and on the other hand, distribute, by means of the tongue acting as a pressure distribution plate, all of the elastic pressure exerted by the elastic lining over the entire part of the foot in contact with said tongue, that is to say both the top of the foot and the front part of the tibia, and consequently obtain a more homogeneous and more comfortable pressure distribution for the foot.

Un tel mode de réalisation est particulièrement intéressant dans le cas de chaussures de type montagne ou sécurité, pourvues d'une tige externe relativement rigide et d'une languette également relativement rigide, la languette étant du fait de sa relative rigidité, appliquée dans sa totalité sur les parties correspondantes du pied et de la cheville.Such an embodiment is particularly advantageous in the case of mountain or safety type shoes, provided with a relatively rigid external upper and a tongue which is also relatively rigid, the tongue being due to its relative rigidity, applied in its entirety. on the corresponding parts of the foot and ankle.

De toute façon, l'invention sera mieux comprise et d'autres caractéristiques de celle-ci seront mises en évidence à l'aide de la description qui suit, en référence aux dessins schématiques annexés, en illustrant quelques modes de réalisation préférés, et dans lequel:

  • la figure 4 est une vue similaire à celle de la figure 2 d'une chaussure selon un second mode de réalisation,
  • la figure 5 est une vue similaire à celle de la figure 2 d'une chaussure selon un troisième mode de réalisation.
In any case, the invention will be better understood and other characteristics thereof will be highlighted with the aid of the description which follows, with reference to the appended schematic drawings, illustrating some preferred embodiments, and in which:
  • FIG. 1 is a perspective view of three front quarters with a partial cutaway of a shoe incorporating the invention,

Les figures 1 et 2 montrent l'application de l'invention à une chaussure de sport de type marche/montagne.Figures 1 and 2 show the application of the invention to a walking / mountain type sports shoe.

Une telle chaussure est constituée, de façon connue en soi, d'une semelle de marche 1 surmontée d'une tige 2 externe dite haute puisque montant au delà de l'articulation de la cheville.Such a shoe consists, in a manner known per se, of a walking sole 1 surmounted by a so-called external upper 2 since it rises beyond the ankle joint.

Comme montré plus particulièrement à la figure 2, la tige 2 ne possède qu'une ouverture 3 disposée uniquement à son extrémité supérieure, et présente la forme d'une botte "large" qui peut être serrée autour du pied et de la jambe au moyen d'un laçage 4 s'étendant sur le dessus du pied, depuis le bout 5 de la chaussure jusqu'à l'ouverture 3 de la tige 2.As shown more particularly in Figure 2, the rod 2 has only an opening 3 disposed only at its upper end, and has the shape of a "wide" boot which can be tightened around the foot and the leg by means a lacing 4 extending over the top of the foot, from the tip 5 of the shoe to the opening 3 of the upper 2.

La chaussure comporte par ailleurs, à l'intérieur de la tige 2, une languette 6, de type connu en soi, munie sur sa face supérieure de moyens auto agrippants 7 et dont le rôle sera expliqué ultérieurement, et une doublure au moins partiellement élastique 10.The shoe also comprises, inside the upper 2, a tongue 6, of a type known per se, provided on its upper face with self-gripping means 7 and whose role will be explained later, and an at least partially elastic lining. 10.

Dans le cas représenté aux figures 1 et 2, la doublure élastique 10 est constituée par une bande demi circulaire en matériau élastique s'étendant de façon continue sur toute la partie cou de pied de la chaussure en passant au-dessus de la languette 6, et fixée de façon connue en soi à la tige 2 et à la semelle externe 1 par chacune de ses extrémités inférieures 11 dans la zone 8 d'assemblage de la tige et de la semelle, et appelée communément "prise de montage".In the case shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the elastic lining 10 is constituted by a semi-circular strip of elastic material extending continuously over the entire instep part of the shoe passing over the tongue 6, and fixed in a manner known per se to the upper 2 and to the outer sole 1 by each of its lower ends 11 in the area 8 of assembly of the upper and the sole, and commonly called "mounting socket".

La doublure élastique 10 pourrait également être fixée par ses extrémités inférieures 11 uniquement à la tige 2, éventuellement à des niveaux en hauteur différent de cette tige de façon à obtenir des effets de serrage différenciés.The elastic lining 10 could also be fixed by its lower ends 11 only to the rod 2, possibly at different height levels from this rod so as to obtain differentiated tightening effects.

On notera que le bord arrière 12 de la doublure élastique 10 s'étend jusqu'au niveau du talon de la chaussure pour obtenir des sensations allant du cou de pied jusqu'au talon.Note that the rear edge 12 of the elastic lining 10 extends to the heel of the shoe to obtain sensations from the instep to the heel.

Comme représenté plus particulièrement sur les figures 1 et 3, la doublure élastique 10 définit au repos un volume au moins égal à celui du plus grand volume du pied destiné à être reçu dans la chaussure et comporte sur sa partie dessus de cou de pied des moyens 15 de réglage de son volume.As shown more particularly in Figures 1 and 3, the elastic lining 10 defines at rest a volume at least equal to that of the largest volume of the foot intended to be received in the shoe and comprises on its instep part of the instep 15 for adjusting its volume.

Ces moyens de réglage 15 sont constitués par une double rangée de passants 16 et d'un lacet 17 coopérant avec des passants 16, ces derniers étant disposés sur la doublure élastique 10 sensiblement selon l'axe longitudinal de la chaussure et écartés mutuellement d'une valeur correspondant sensiblement à la différence maximale entre les volumes de pied pouvant être reçus dans la chaussure.These adjustment means 15 consist of a double row of loops 16 and a lace 17 cooperating with loops 16, the latter being arranged on the elastic lining 10 substantially along the longitudinal axis of the shoe and spaced apart from one another. value corresponding substantially to the maximum difference between the foot volumes that can be received in the shoe.

En d'autre termes, l'écartement de ces deux rangées de passant 16 est tel que le volume défini entre la doublure élastique et le fond de la chaussure à l'état repos, c'est-à-dire sans rapprochement des passants, correspond au volume maximal de pied pouvant être reçu, tandis que le volume défini par cette doublure à l'état serré, c'est-à-dire lorsque les passants 16 sont rapprochés au maximum les uns des autres par le lacet 17, correspond au volume minimal de pied pouvant être reçu. Comme montré plus particulièrement sur la figure 3, le lacet 17 forme une boucle fermée dont l'extrémité libre 18 est munie d'une patte 19 munie sur sa face inférieure de moyens auto agrippants 20 complémentaires des moyens auto agrippants 7 de la languette 6 pour permettre l'accrochage sur cette dernière de la patte 19.In other words, the spacing of these two rows of loops 16 is such that the volume defined between the elastic lining and the bottom of the shoe in the rest state, that is to say without bringing together the passers-by, corresponds to the maximum foot volume that can be received, while the volume defined by this lining in the tight state, that is to say when the loops 16 are brought as close together as possible by the lace 17, corresponds to the minimum foot volume that can be received. As shown more particularly in FIG. 3, the lace 17 forms a closed loop whose free end 18 is provided with a tab 19 provided on its underside with self-gripping means 20 complementary to the self-gripping means 7 of the tongue 6 for allow hooking on the latter of the tab 19.

Le fonctionnement de l'ensemble est très simple. Tout d'abord, pour la mise en place du pied à l'intérieur de la chaussure, la patte 19 sera décrochée de la languette 6 et les passants 16 de la doublure élastique 16 seront écartés au maximum de façon à libérer un volume maximal pour ladite doublure élastique. Ainsi, l'introduction du pied à l'intérieur de la chaussure pourra être effectuée sans problème, même pour un "gros" pied, c'est-à-dire un pied ayant un fort cou de pied, l'ouverture délimitée par les bords arrière 12 de la doublure élastique 10 pouvant au besoin être encore agrandie à l'aide de la languette 6 disposée en-dessous de cette doublure élastique 10 et faisant alors office d'organe de manoeuvre.The operation of the assembly is very simple. First, for the establishment of the foot inside the shoe, the tab 19 will be detached from the tongue 6 and the loops 16 of the elastic lining 16 will be spread apart as much as possible so as to release a maximum volume for said elastic lining. Thus, the introduction of the foot inside the shoe can be carried out without problem, even for a "big" foot, that is to say a foot having a strong instep, the opening delimited by the rear edges 12 of the elastic lining 10 which can be further enlarged if necessary with the aid of the tongue 6 disposed below this elastic lining 10 and then acting as an operating member.

Une fois le pied à l'intérieur de la chaussure, il suffit d'ajuster le contour de la doublure élastique 10 à celui du pied en rapprochant les passants 16 par une traction exercée sur le lacet 17.Once the foot is inside the shoe, it suffices to adjust the contour of the elastic lining 10 to that of the foot by bringing together the loops 16 by a pull exerted on the lace 17.

Une fois le réglage souhaité obtenu pour la doublure élastique 10, il suffit d'accrocher la patte 18 à l'endroit voulu sur la languette 6 pour maintenir la tension du lacet 17 et le volume de doublure élastique à la valeur souhaitée.Once the desired setting obtained for the elastic lining 10, it suffices to hang the tab 18 at the desired location on the tongue 6 to maintain the tension of the lace 17 and the volume of elastic lining at the desired value.

On obtient de cette manière et très simplement une adaptation parfaite de la doublure élastique au contour du pied formant véritablement une seconde peau, tout en conservant les caractéristiques élastiques de celle-ci en dehors de la zone de réglage 16, 17.In this way and very simply a perfect adaptation of the elastic lining is obtained to the contour of the foot truly forming a second skin, while retaining the elastic characteristics of the latter outside of the adjustment zone 16, 17.

Une meilleure transmission et sensation des informations venant du sol est donc obtenue, ainsi qu'une meilleure sensation de la position spatiale du pied par rapport à la cheville. La fermeture de la chaussure est ensuite complétée par un serrage de la tige externe autour du pied, nécessaire pour une bonne tenue de celui-ci.A better transmission and feeling of information coming from the ground is therefore obtained, as well as a better feeling of the spatial position of the foot relative to the ankle. The closure of the shoe is then completed by a tightening of the external rod around the foot, necessary for a good hold of the latter.

On notera que ce réglage du volume de la doublure peut s'accompagner de la formation de légers plis 21 dans la zone de réglage 16, 17. Mais de tels plis ne s'avèrent en fait pas gênants:

  • du fait de la présence de la languette 6 interposée entre le pied et la doublure,
  • du fait de la faible tension exercée par la doublure élastique sur le pied.
It will be noted that this adjustment of the volume of the lining may be accompanied by the formation of slight folds 21 in the adjustment zone 16, 17. But such folds do not in fact prove to be troublesome:
  • due to the presence of the tongue 6 interposed between the foot and the lining,
  • due to the low tension exerted by the elastic lining on the foot.

La languette 6 n'a pas été particulièrement décrite car connue en soi, il s'agit en fait d'un élément de confort, rembourré et fixé à la tige soit au niveau de l'extrémité avant du laçage 4, soit même en bout de la chaussure.The tongue 6 has not been particularly described because known per se, it is in fact a comfort element, padded and fixed to the rod either at the front end of the lacing 4, or even at the end of the shoe.

Le mode de réalisation du système de réglage sous la forme de passants plats coopérant avec un lacet est intéressante car offrant un mode de réalisation particulièrement plat, nécessaire afin d'éviter toute surpression ou formation de point dur sur le pied lors du serrage de la tige externe. Bien entendu, d'autres moyens de réglage pourraient être envisagés dans la mesure où ils ne créent pas de surpression.The embodiment of the adjustment system in the form of flat loops cooperating with a lace is advantageous since it offers a particularly flat embodiment, necessary in order to avoid any overpressure or formation of hard point on the foot when tightening the rod. external. Of course, other means of adjustment could be envisaged insofar as they do not create an overpressure.

Dans le cas où la tige externe serait une tige dite basse, c'est-à-dire ne s'étendant guère au delà des malléoles, la fixation de la patte d'accrochage 19 des moyens de réglage 15 pourrait s'effectuer sur l'extérieur de la tige externe 2 au lieu de la languette 6.In the case where the external rod is a so-called low rod, that is to say hardly extending beyond the malleoli, the attachment of the lug 19 of the adjustment means 15 could be carried out on the outside the external rod 2 instead of the tongue 6.

Par ailleurs, l'invention est particulièrement intéressante dans une application à une chaussure ayant une tige en forme de "botte" telle que représentée sur les figures 1 et 2, du fait de l'ouverture 3 réduite fournie par une telle botte n'offrant qu'un accès réduit à l'intérieur et de la difficulté en résultant d'avoir un serrage interne proprement dit.Furthermore, the invention is particularly advantageous in an application to a shoe having a "boot" shaped rod as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, due to the reduced opening 3 provided by such a boot not offering reduced access to the interior and the resulting difficulty in having an internal tightening proper.

Le mode de réalisation de la figure 4 se différencie de celui des figures 1 et 2 par une doublure élastique en deux parties, à savoir comportant une partie cou de pied 10 munie de moyens de réglage 15, similaire de celle décrite en liaison avec les figures 1 et 2, et une partie cheville 30 destinée à entourer la cheville de l'utilisateur.The embodiment of FIG. 4 differs from that of FIGS. 1 and 2 by an elastic lining in two parts, namely comprising a instep part 10 provided with adjustment means 15, similar to that described in connection with the figures. 1 and 2, and an ankle portion 30 intended to surround the ankle of the user.

Dans ce cas, la partie cheville 30 est également conçue de façon à offrir un volume au moins égal à celui du plus grand volume de pied (le terme "pied" englobant ici à la fois le pied proprement dit et la cheville) destiné à être reçu dans la chaussure, et comporte sur sa partie des moyens de réglage de son volume constitués d'une double rangée de passants 36 et du lacet 17.In this case, the ankle part 30 is also designed so as to offer a volume at least equal to that of the largest foot volume (the term "foot" here including both the foot proper and the ankle) intended to be received in the shoe, and comprises on its part means for adjusting its volume consisting of a double row of loops 36 and the lace 17.

Dans le cas représenté, le même lacet 17 coopère donc avec les passants 16, 36, pour le réglage du volume des deux parties de la doublure élastique et vient s'accrocher par sa patte 19 à la languette 6.In the case shown, the same lace 17 therefore cooperates with the passers-by 16, 36, for adjusting the volume of the two parts of the elastic lining and is hooked by its tab 19 to the tongue 6.

Il est également possible de prévoir deux lacets distincts avec des zones d'accrochage différentes.It is also possible to provide two separate laces with different attachment zones.

Enfin, les deux parties de doublure 10, 30, peuvent être solidaires et former une seule pièce comme représenté sur la figure 4, ou être au contraire réalisées en plusieurs parties avec un ou plusieurs lacets de réglage.Finally, the two lining parts 10, 30 can be integral and form a single piece as shown in FIG. 4, or on the contrary be made in several parts with one or more adjustment laces.

Le mode de réalisation montré à la figure 5 diffère des deux modes de réalisation précédents par le fait que la languette 6 est assemblée directement à la partie doublure élastique 10, qui se réduit en l'occurrence en deux bandes élastiques 10a disposées de part et d'autre de la languette, et reliant celle-ci élastiquement à la semelle. Chaque bande élastique 10a est fixée, d'une part, à son extrémité supérieure 10b, à la languette 6, et d'autre part, à son extrémité inférieure 11 dans la zone 8 d'assemblage de la tige 2 et de la semelle 1 ou sur la tige elle-même.The embodiment shown in FIG. 5 differs from the two previous embodiments in that the tongue 6 is assembled directly to the elastic lining part 10, which in this case is reduced to two elastic bands 10a arranged on the side and d 'other of the tongue, and connecting it elastically to the sole. Each elastic band 10a is fixed, on the one hand, at its upper end 10b, to the tongue 6, and on the other hand, at its lower end 11 in the zone 8 of assembly of the upper 2 and the sole 1 or on the stem itself.

Dans ce mode de réalisation, la partie de doublure élastique 10 n'est pas pourvue de moyens de réglage de son volume, et le volume défini par la languette et ladite partie de doublure élastique est prévu de façon à s'ajuster au volume minimal de pied destiné à être reçu à l'intérieur de la chaussure.In this embodiment, the elastic lining part 10 is not provided with means for adjusting its volume, and the volume defined by the tongue and said elastic lining part is provided so as to adjust to the minimum volume of foot intended to be received inside the shoe.

Dans un tel mode de réalisation, la présence de la languette 6 répartissant la pression permet d'éviter tout risque de surpression sur le pied, même pour un pied de gros volume.In such an embodiment, the presence of the tongue 6 distributing the pressure makes it possible to avoid any risk of overpressure on the foot, even for a foot of large volume.

Une telle construction est particulièrement intéressante et avantageuse pour les chaussures de type montagne ou sécurité, à savoir les chaussures munies d'une tige externe en matériau épais et résistant, et difficile à adapter d'une façon précise au volume du pied, car elle permet à faible coût d'avoir un excellent enveloppement du pied et de la cheville, et donc d'augmenter les sensations proprioceptives et la transmission d'informations sur les positions spatiales de ceux-ci.Such a construction is particularly interesting and advantageous for mountain or safety type shoes, namely shoes provided with an external upper made of thick and resistant material, and difficult to adapt precisely to the volume of the foot, because it allows at low cost to have an excellent wrapping of the foot and ankle, and therefore to increase the proprioceptive sensations and the transmission of information on the spatial positions thereof.

Une relative rigidité de la languette est dans un tel cas également indispensable pour obtenir une bonne répartition de pression sur la zone de dessus de pied, cheville concernée, et éviter la formation d'une pression localisée et gênante à l'emplacement des bandes élastiques 10a. Par ailleurs, une telle rigidité relative de la languette 6 facilite les manipulations de celle-ci et son ouverture ainsi que celle de la doublure élastique 10 en vue de la mise en place du pied. Bien entendu, cette relative rigidité sera déterminée de façon à ne pas gêner l'utilisation de la chaussure et notamment la marche à pied.Relative rigidity of the tongue is also essential in this case to obtain a good pressure distribution over the toe area, ankle concerned, and to avoid the formation of localized and annoying pressure at the location of the elastic bands 10a. . Furthermore, such a relative rigidity of the tongue 6 facilitates the handling of the latter and its opening as well as that of the elastic lining 10 with a view to the positioning of the foot. Of course, this relative rigidity will be determined so as not to hinder the use of the shoe and in particular walking.

Bien entendu, la présente invention n'est pas limitée aux exemples de réalisation décrits ci-avant à titre non limitatifs. C'est ainsi que par exemple les moyens d'accrochage du lacet pourraient être constitués par une succession de crochets dans lesquels on peut engager la boucle supérieure du lacet.Of course, the present invention is not limited to the exemplary embodiments described above by way of non-limiting example. This is how, for example, the hooking means of the lace could be constituted by a succession of hooks in which the upper loop of the lace can be engaged.

De même, les moyens de réglage du volume et en particulier les moyens de traction et de blocage du lacet pourraient être réalisés d'une autre façon sans que l'on sorte pour autant du cadre de la présente invention.Likewise, the means for adjusting the volume and in particular the means for pulling and locking the lace could be produced in another way without departing from the scope of the present invention.
