Description

La présente invention concerne une chaussure de sport comprenant, de manière traditionnelle, une semelle externe sur laquelle est montée une tige délimitant une zone centrale d'introduction du pied en relation avec une ouverture pratiquée sur sa partie supérieure antérieure qui est délimitée par deux quartiers interne et externe, sur lesquels est susceptible d'agir en serrage un lacet ou câble formant deux brins qui les relient par l'intermédiaire d'éléments de renvoi tels qu'oeillets, passants ou crochets.The present invention relates to a sports shoe comprising, so traditional, an outer sole on which is mounted a rod defining a central area of introduction of the foot in relation to an opening made on its upper part anterior which is bounded by two inner and outer quarters, on which is likely act by tightening a lace or cable forming two strands which connect them via return elements such as eyelets, loops or hooks.

L'invention concerne une chaussure de ce type comprenant en outre un dispositif d'immobilisation ou bloqueur en liaison avec les brins du lacet à proximité de leurs extrémités libres.The invention relates to a shoe of this type further comprising a device immobilizer or blocker in connection with the strands of the lace close to their ends free.

La présence d'un bloqueur constitue un avantage connu en soi en ce sens qu'il permet un serrage rapide par traction sur les lacets et immobilisation immédiate en déplaçant ledit bloqueur vers une position de blocage.The presence of a blocker is an advantage known in itself in that it allows a quick tightening by pulling on the laces and immediate immobilization by moving said blocker to a blocking position.

De tels bloqueurs sont particulièrement intéressants dans des conditions de course car ils garantissent un serrage constant et remédient aux problèmes de desserrage intempestifs se produisant avec les systèmes de serrage traditionnels par noeud.Such blockers are particularly interesting in racing conditions because they ensure constant tightening and remedy untimely loosening problems producing with traditional knot tightening systems.

Néanmoins, si les bloqueurs apportent un avantage certain dans le domaine de la chaussure de sport, ils induisent par ailleurs un inconvénient majeur en ce qui concerne l'extrémité des brins formés par le lacet qui deviennent libres au-delà du bloqueur et qui présentent un réel danger, par la possibilité d'accrochage qu'ils représentent, pour la marche ou pour la pratique de tout sport si l'on n'assure pas leur rangement d'une manière ou d'une autre.However, if the blockers provide a definite advantage in the field of footwear sports, they also induce a major drawback with regard to the end of the strands formed by the lace which become free beyond the blocker and which present a real danger, by the possibility of attachment that they represent, for walking or for the practice of any sport if one does not ensure their storage in one way or another.

C'est ainsi que sont connus des bloqueurs permettant le rangement des extrémités du lacet à l'intérieur même du corps qui le constitue, mais cela conduit à concevoir un ensemble relativement volumineux et lourd, peu performant et pouvant constituer une gêne dans la pratique de certains sports.This is how blockers are known for storing the ends of the lace at the very interior of the body that constitutes it, but this leads to the conception of a whole relatively bulky and heavy, inefficient and which may constitute discomfort in the practice of certain sports.

Le modèle d'utilité allemand G 88 10 872.4 décrit bien un dispositif de rangement de l'extrémité des lacets ou plus précisément des boucles formées par celle-ci après avoir effectué un noeud, qui est constitué par un volet rabattable disposé dans cette zone et se refermant sur une partie correspondante par l'intermédiaire de moyens auto-agrippants disposés de part et d'autre et agissant réciproquement.The German utility model G 88 10 872.4 describes a storage device for the end of the laces or more precisely of the loops formed by the latter after having carried out a knot, which is constituted by a folding flap arranged in this area and closing on a corresponding part by means of hook-and-loop means arranged on the one hand and else and acting reciprocally.

Un tel dispositif de rangement présente l'inconvénient, de par la présence même des moyens auto-agrippants, de nécessiter des lacets spéciaux ne s'y accrochant pas.Such a storage device has the drawback, by the very presence of the means Velcro fasteners, to require special laces not hanging on it.

Par ailleurs, le dispositif décrit dans ce modèle d'utilité concerne uniquement une chaussure à lacets ne comportant pas de dispositif de blocage, et n'est donc pas adapté au rangement d'un bloqueur de lacet, plus volumineux, qui ne peut coopérer avec les moyens autoagrippants. F fait, le but de ce dispositif de rangement est d'éviter le desserrage du noeud, problème qui ne pose pas dans un système de serrage par bloqueur. Furthermore, the device described in this utility model relates only to a shoe with laces without a locking device, and is therefore not suitable for storing a larger yaw locker which cannot cooperate with hook-and-loop fasteners. F fact, the purpose of this storage device is to avoid loosening the knot, a problem that not installed in a clamping system by blocker.

Le but de la présente invention est de remédier aux inconvénients des bloqueurs de lacet cités ci-avant et notamment de fournir un système amélioré de protection du bloqueur et des extrémités du lacet.The object of the present invention is to remedy the drawbacks of the lace blockers mentioned. above and in particular to provide an improved system for protecting the blocker and ends of the lace.

A cet effet, elle concerne une chaussure de sport comprenant une semelle externe sur laquelle est montée une tige délimitant une zone centrale d'introduction du pied, et comportant une zone de laçage constituée d'un lacet ou câble formant deux brins qui relient entre eux par un parcours déterminé des éléments de renvoi de la zone de laçage, et qui sont en liaison à proximité de leurs extrémités libres avec un dispositif d'immobilisation ou bloqueur, caractérisée en ce qu'elle comporte, à proximité de la zone d'introduction du pied, à l'extrémité de la zone de laçage, une poche de rangement apte à recevoir à la fois les extrémités libres des brins du lacet, s'étendant au-delà du bloqueur après serrage des quartiers, ainsi que le bloqueur proprement dit.To this end, it relates to a sports shoe comprising an outer sole on which a rod is mounted delimiting a central zone for introducing the foot, and comprising a zone lacing consisting of a lace or cable forming two strands which connect to each other by a route determined return elements of the lacing area, and which are in close proximity to their free ends with an immobilizer or blocker, characterized in that it includes, near the foot insertion area, at the end of the lacing area, a storage pocket capable of receiving both the free ends of the strands of the lace, extending beyond the blocker after tightening the quarters, as well as the blocker itself.

La présente invention permet ainsi de dissocier totalement les fonctions de blocage assurées par le bloqueur, et de rangement "anti-accrochage" assurées par la poche, et donc d'assurer une sécurité parfaite en protégeant totalement le système de blocage, et en empêchant l'accrochage intempestif des brins libres du lacet.The present invention thus makes it possible to completely dissociate the blocking functions provided. by the blocker, and "anti-latching" storage provided by the pocket, and therefore ensuring a perfect security by fully protecting the locking system, and preventing it from catching untimely free strands of the lace.

La présente invention concerne également les caractéristiques qui ressortiront au cours de la description qui va suivre et qui devront être considérées isolément ou selon toutes leurs combinaisons techniques possibles.The present invention also relates to the characteristics which will emerge during the description which will follow and which should be considered in isolation or according to all their possible technical combinations.

Cette description, donnée à titre d'exemple non limitatif, fera mieux comprendre comment l'invention peut être réalisée, en référence au dessin schématique annexé en illustrant un mode de réalisation préféré et sur lesquel :

  • la figure 1 représente en perspective une chaussure de sport comportant une poche de rangement selon l'invention,
  • la figure 2 est, à échelle agrandie, une vue en perspective de la zone de la chaussure de la figure 1 comportant la poche de rangement, après rangement du bloqueur et du lacet,
  • la figure 3 est une vue latérale schématique de la partie de chaussure selon la figure 2, à vide,
  • la figure 4 est une vue en coupe longitudinale partielle de la figure 3.
This description, given by way of nonlimiting example, will make it easier to understand how the invention can be produced, with reference to the appended schematic drawing illustrating a preferred embodiment and on which:
  • FIG. 1 represents in perspective a sports shoe comprising a storage pocket according to the invention,
  • FIG. 2 is, on an enlarged scale, a perspective view of the zone of the shoe of FIG. 1 comprising the storage pocket, after storage of the blocker and the lace,
  • FIG. 3 is a schematic side view of the shoe part according to FIG. 2, when empty,
  • FIG. 4 is a view in partial longitudinal section of FIG. 3.

La chaussure de sport représentée sur la figure 1, comprend une semelle externe 10 sur laquelle est montée une tige 11, en l'occurrence une tige fermée, munie à son extrémité supérieure d'une zone centrale 9 d'introduction du pied, et comportant un quartier interne 12 et un quartier externe 13 reliés entre eux par un système de serrage 14. Ce système de serrage 14 est constitué par un lacet ou câble formant deux brins 15a et 15b en liaison avec un dispositif de blocage ou bloqueur 20 et reliant entre eux selon un parcours déterminé, une série d'éléments de renvoi ou passants, oeillets ou crochets 1 à 8 disposés fixement sur les bords respectifs 11b situés en vis-à-vis des quartiers 12, 13. Ces bords 11b définissent entre eux une zone de laçage 16, de manière que lors d'une action en traction sur les brins 15a et 15b du lacet 15, celui-ci agisse en serrage sur les quartiers 12, 13, par l'intermédiaire des éléments de renvoi 1 à 8. Ainsi, lesdits bords 11b des quartiers 12, 13, sont rapprochés l'un de l'autre et sont maintenus en position de serrage sur le pied, par l'intermédiaire du bloqueur 20.The sports shoe shown in Figure 1, includes an outer sole 10 on which is mounted a rod 11, in this case a closed rod, provided at its end upper of a central zone 9 for introducing the foot, and comprising an internal quarter 12 and an outer quarter 13 interconnected by a clamping system 14. This clamping system 14 consists of a lace or cable forming two strands 15a and 15b in connection with a device for blocker or blocker 20 and connecting together a determined series of elements of return or passers-by, eyelets or hooks 1 to 8 fixedly arranged on the respective edges 11b located opposite the districts 12, 13. These edges 11b define between them a lacing zone 16, so that during a traction action on the strands 15a and 15b of the lace 15, the latter acts in clamping on the quarters 12, 13, by means of the return elements 1 to 8. Thus, said edges 11b of the quarters 12, 13, are brought closer to one another and are maintained in the clamping position on the foot, by means of the blocker 20.

La description et le fonctionnement d'un tel bloqueur correspond par exemple à celui ayant fait l'objet du brevet d'invention FR-A- 2 706 743 (EP-A-0 629 793) déposé précédemment par la demanderesse et qui ne sera donc pas décrit plus avant.The description and operation of such a blocker corresponds for example to that having is the subject of patent FR-A- 2,706,743 (EP-A-0 629 793) previously filed by the applicant and which will therefore not be described further.

Selon l'invention, la chaussure comporte, à proximité de la zone d'introduction 9 du pied, à l'extrémité supérieure de la zone de laçage 16, une poche de rangement 30 apte à recevoir à la fois les extrémités libres des brins 15a, 15b, du lacet 15, s'étendant au-delà du bloqueur 20 après serrage des quartiers 12, 13, ainsi que le bloqueur 20 proprement dit.According to the invention, the shoe comprises, near the insertion zone 9 of the foot, at the upper end of the lacing zone 16, a storage pocket 30 capable of receiving at the times the free ends of the strands 15a, 15b, of the lace 15, extending beyond the blocker 20 after tightening of the quarters 12, 13, as well as the blocker 20 itself.

Selon le présent exemple de réalisation, la poche de rangement 30 est réalisée en un matériau souple déformable rapporté à cheval sur les bords supérieurs des deux quartiers 12, 13, de la tige 11, à l'extrémité supérieure de la zone de laçage 16, pour la coiffer et délimiter avec elle un logement clos 31 accessible de l'extérieur par l'intermédiaire d'un système d'ouverture 32.According to the present embodiment, the storage pocket 30 is made of a material flexible deformable attached astride the upper edges of the two quarters 12, 13, of the rod 11, at the upper end of the lacing zone 16, to cover it and define with it a enclosed housing 31 accessible from the outside via an opening system 32.

Préférentiellement, le système d'ouverture de la poche de rangement 30 est disposé sur une paroi antérieure qui est libre par rapport au pied ou la chaussure proprement dite.Preferably, the opening system of the storage pocket 30 is arranged on a anterior wall which is free with respect to the foot or the shoe proper.

Selon un mode préféré de réalisation, représenté sur les figures, le système d'ouverture 32 de la poche de rangement 30 est constitué par un rebord inférieur libre 30a de sa paroi antérieure, appliqué de façon permanente contre la tige 11 l'extrémité supérieure de la zone de laçage 16, par l'intermédiaire d'un matériau élastique 32a incorporé audit rebord 30a, de manière à permettre, d'une part son soulèvement par préhension manuelle correspondant à une ouverture de la poche 30 en vue du rangement dans celle-ci des extrémités 15a, 15b du lacet 15 après blocage et du bloqueur 20 proprement dit, et d'autre part son retour contre la tige 11, s'effectuant automatiquement par rappel élastique après relâchement de ladite action manuelle.According to a preferred embodiment, shown in the figures, the opening system 32 of the storage pocket 30 is constituted by a free lower rim 30a of its front wall, permanently applied against the upper 11 the upper end of the lacing zone 16, by means of an elastic material 32a incorporated into said rim 30a, so as to allow, on the one hand its lifting by manual gripping corresponding to an opening of the pocket 30 for storage therein of the ends 15a, 15b of the lace 15 after blocking and of the blocker 20 proper, and on the other hand its return against the rod 11, performed automatically by elastic return after release of said manual action.

Bien entendu, d'autres systèmes de fermeture pourraient également être envisagés, et il pourrait s'agir par exemple d'un système de fermeture à glissière ou encore de fermeture par lacets ou cordons disposé à un quelconque endroit de la paroi antérieure de la poche 30, après y avoir pratiqué une ouverture.Of course, other closure systems could also be envisaged, and it could for example be a zipper system or even closure by laces or cords arranged at any point on the anterior wall of the pocket 30, after there to have made an opening.

C'est ainsi que le matériau élastique 32a pourra être constitué par un élastique incorporé dans un ourlet réalisé à proximité du rebord libre 30a, en pratiquant une couture 33. Un tel élastique pourra également être remplacé par une bande élastique cousue dans la même zone.This is how the elastic material 32a can be constituted by an elastic incorporated in a hem made near the free edge 30a, by making a seam 33. Such an elastic could also be replaced by an elastic band sewn in the same area.

Par ailleurs, selon le présent exemple de réalisation, les bords périphériques de la poche de rangement 30 sont, à l'exclusion de son rebord antérieur inférieur 30a, rapportés par couture sur des zones d'extrémité supérieure des quartiers 12, 13 et sur des zones adjacentes de l'ouverture centrale 9 s'étendant de part et d'autre des quartiers 12, 13.Furthermore, according to the present embodiment, the peripheral edges of the pocket storage 30 are, excluding its lower front edge 30a, attached by stitching on upper end zones of quarters 12, 13 and on adjacent zones of the opening central 9 extending on either side of the districts 12, 13.

Dans le cas d'une construction de tige de type classique, c'est-à-dire munie d'une ouverture de chaussage longitudinale et d'une languette disposée au-dessous de ladite ouverture, la poche de rangement 30 pourra être disposée à l'extrémité supérieure de la languette de la chaussure. Dans une telle construction de tige ouverte, le système de serrage 14 sert également de système de fermeture de la tige. Dans tous les cas l'application élastique du bord inférieur libre 30a de la poche contre la tige 11 est particulièrement intéressante car elle permet de garantir un maintien en position des extrémités du lacet et du bloqueur à l'intérieur de ladite poche.In the case of a conventional type rod construction, that is to say provided with an opening of longitudinal footwear and a tongue disposed below said opening, the pocket storage 30 may be disposed at the upper end of the tongue of the shoe. In such an open rod construction, the clamping system 14 also serves as a system rod closure. In all cases the elastic application of the free lower edge 30a of the pocket against the rod 11 is particularly advantageous because it guarantees a maintenance in position of the ends of the lace and the blocker inside said pocket.

Une telle poche permet donc non seulement de garantir la sécurité en empêchant toute sortie du bloqueur et des extrémités de lacet, mais également de protéger le mécanisme du bloqueur contre des agressions extérieures.Such a pocket therefore not only guarantees security by preventing any exit blocker and lace ends, but also to protect the blocker mechanism against external aggressions.

Selon une autre caractéristique de l'invention, l'ouverture de la poche de rangement 30, s'effectuant par soulèvement de son rebord antérieur inférieur élastique 30a, s'effectue par l'intermédiaire d'un élément de préhension 34, solidaire de sa paroi antérieure libre.According to another characteristic of the invention, the opening of the storage pocket 30, by lifting its elastic lower front edge 30a, is carried out by by means of a gripping element 34, integral with its free anterior wall.

Concernant cet élément de préhension 34, il pourra s'agir comme le montrent les figures, d'une boucle souple en forme de dragonne, mais également de tout type de moyen de préhension.Regarding this gripping element 34, it may be as shown in the figures, a flexible loop in the shape of a wrist strap, but also any type of means of gripping.
