Abstract

The top edge of the upper (4) of the boot is equipped with two lugs (14, 15) which each have an eyelet (16, 17) for the passage of a belt (18) for the fastening of the inner boot (10). This construction is intended to improve the holding of the leg when leaning forward, without limiting comfort. <IMAGE>

Description

La présente invention a pour objet une chaussure de ski munie d'un chausson intérieur de confort dépassant l'extrémité supérieure de la tige en matière synthé­tique semi-rigide munie d'au moins une boucle pour son serrage autour de la jambe, et comportant une courroie pour le serrage de la partie dépassante du chausson autour de la jambe.The subject of the present invention is a ski boot provided with an inner comfort boot exceeding the upper end of the rod in semi-rigid synthetic material provided with at least one loop for its tightening around the leg, and comprising a strap for tightening the protruding part of the boot around the leg.

De telles chaussures ont été mises sur le marché par plusieurs fabricants. On peut citer à titre d'exemple, le modèle TSI PREFIT de LANGE et le modèle NR 981 de NORDICA. Le prolongement du chausson au-dessus de la tige, sur l'avant de celle-ci, a pour but d'améliorer le confort du skieur dont la jambe lorsqu'elle est en flexion, vient s'appuyer en avant contre le chausson. La courroie a pour but d'assurer une tenue suffisante du chausson lors de cet appui en avant. Dans toutes les chaussures connues la courroie serrant la partie dépassante du chausson est indépendante de la tige de la chaussure et agit uniquement sur le chausson. La qualité de l'appui est toutefois limité par la souplesse du chausson qui a tendance à fléchir trop facilement vers l'avant, réduisant ainsi la tenue du pied et le guidage du ski.Such shoes have been put on the market by several manufacturers. By way of example, mention may be made of the TSI PREFIT model from LANGE and the NR 981 model from NORDICA. The extension of the liner above the upper, on the front thereof, aims to improve the comfort of the skier whose leg when in flexion, comes to rest forward against the liner. The purpose of the strap is to ensure sufficient hold of the liner during this forward pressing. In all known shoes, the strap tightening the protruding part of the boot is independent of the upper of the shoe and acts only on the boot. The quality of the support is however limited by the flexibility of the boot which tends to flex too easily forwards, thus reducing the holding of the foot and the guiding of the ski.

La présente invention a pour but d'améliorer la tenue de la jambe au niveau de la partie dépassante du chaus­son, sans pour autant limiter le confort de l'appui avant du tibia contre le bord supérieur de la tige de la chaussure.The object of the present invention is to improve the holding of the leg at the level of the protruding part of the boot, without however limiting the comfort of the front support of the tibia against the upper edge of the upper of the shoe.

La chaussure de ski selon l'invention est caractérisée par le fait que le bord supérieur de la tige de la chaussure est muni de deux oreilles prolongant la tige de chaque côté de la chaussure, ces oreilles étant munies chacune d'un passant pour le passage de la courroie de retenue du chausson en appui avant.The ski boot according to the invention is characterized in that the upper edge of the upper of the shoe is provided with two ears extending the upper on each side of the shoe, these ears being each provided with a pass for the passage of the liner retaining strap in front support.

La courroie étant attachée à la tige de la chaussure,le chausson ne peut plus se déplacer vers l'avant sans la tige, d'où une meilleures tenue de la jambe en appui avant. Par ailleurs, la souplesse de la courroie et la possibilité de régler la tension de cette courroie permet d'obtenir, sans restriction, le confort souhaité.The strap being attached to the upper of the shoe, the liner can no longer move forward without the upper, resulting in better hold of the leg in front support. Furthermore, the flexibility of the belt and the possibility of adjusting the tension of this belt makes it possible to obtain, without restriction, the desired comfort.

La courroie est de préférence fixée sous tension par accrochage de l'une de ses faces sur l'autre face par un système du type VELCRO (marque déposée).The belt is preferably fixed under tension by hooking one of its faces to the other face by a system of the VELCRO type (registered trademark).

Le dessin présenté à titre d'exemple, a deux formes d'exécution d'invention.

  • La figure 1 est une vue partielle d'une chaussure selon la première forme d'exécution.
  • La figure 2 est une vue de la partie modifiée selon la seconde forme d'exécution.
  • La figure 3 est une vue partielle de la figure 1 avec une courroie de retenue.
The drawing presented by way of example has two embodiments of the invention.
  • Figure 1 is a partial view of a shoe according to the first embodiment.
  • Figure 2 is a view of the modified part according to the second embodiment.
  • Figure 3 is a partial view of Figure 1 with a retaining strap.

La figure 1 représente partiellement une chaussure de ski en matière synthétique comprenant une partie infé­rieure ou empeigne munie de deux boucles de serrage 2 et 3 et une tige 4 munie de deux colliers 5 et 6 ser­rables au moyen de deux boucles 7 et 8 sur une languet­te 9 solidaire de la partie 1. A l'intérieur de la chaussure est disposé un chausson de confort 10 muni d'une languette 11. Ce chausson de confort, en matière souple et moelleuse, dépasse le bord supérieur de la tige 4 relativement rigide, pour empêcher que la jambe vienne s'appuyer directement sur le bord de cette tige, en particulier le bord intérieur 12, en créant des pressions localisées douloureuses. La partie supérieure du chausson est munie extérieurement d'un revêtement extérieur en plastique.FIG. 1 partially represents a ski boot made of synthetic material comprising a lower part or upper provided with two tightening loops 2 and 3 and a rod 4 provided with two collars 5 and 6 which can be tightened by means of two loops 7 and 8 on a tongue 9 attached to part 1. Inside the shoe is arranged a comfort bootie 10 provided with a tongue 11. This comfort bootie, made of flexible and soft material, exceeds the upper edge of the relatively rigid rod 4, to prevent the leg from coming to bear directly on the edge of this rod, in particular the inner edge 12, by creating painful localized pressures. The upper part of the bootie has an external plastic covering on the outside.

La tige 4 de la chaussure est munie à l'arrière d'un spoiler 13 pour l'appui arrière de la jambe. La tige 4 est en outre munie de deux oreilles 14 et 15 prolongant la tige vers le haut de chaque côté de celle-ci, légèrement en avant de l'axe de la tige 4. Ces oreilles 14 et 15 sont munies d'une fente verticale 16, respec­tivement 17, formant passant dans lesquelles passe une courroie 18 (fig. 3) dont une extrémité est munie d'un plot de retenue 19, retenant cette extrémité de la courroie 18 contre l'oreille 15 lorsqu'on tire sur la courroie. La courroie 18 est de préférence du type VELCRO (marque déposée), c'est-à-dire que l'une de ses faces est couverte de microcrochets venant s'accrocher dans les microboucles recouvrant l'autre face. La courroie est non élastique, par exemple en matière plastique telle que du PVC souple. La courroie étant fixée à la tige, elle assure un appui non élastique de la jambe vers l'avant, et par conséquent une bonne tenue de la jambe.The upper 4 of the shoe is provided at the rear with a spoiler 13 for the rear support of the leg. The rod 4 is further provided with two ears 14 and 15 extending the rod upwards on each side thereof, slightly in front of the axis of the rod 4. These ears 14 and 15 are provided with a slot vertical 16, respectively 17, forming a pass through which a strap 18 (fig. 3) passes, one end of which is provided with a retaining stud 19, retaining this end of the strap 18 against the ear 15 when the belt. The belt 18 is preferably of the VELCRO (registered trademark) type, that is to say that one of its faces is covered with micro-hooks which hook onto the microboubles covering the other face. The strap is non-elastic, for example made of plastic such as flexible PVC. The strap being attached to the rod, it provides a non-elastic support of the leg forward, and therefore a good hold of the leg.

Dans la seconde forme d'exécution représentée dans la figure 2, les fentes verticales 16 et 17 sont rempla­cées par des boucles métalliques 18 et 19 montées sur des charnières 20 et 21 fixées aux oreilles 14 et 15 par des rivets 22 et 23. Les boucles 18 et 19 étant en avant des oreilles 14 et 15, ces dernières seront de préférence situées un peu plus en arrière que dans la première forme d'exécution.In the second embodiment shown in Figure 2, the vertical slots 16 and 17 are replaced by metal loops 18 and 19 mounted on hinges 20 and 21 fixed to the ears 14 and 15 by rivets 22 and 23. The loops 18 and 19 being in before the ears 14 and 15, the latter will preferably be located a little further back than in the first embodiment.
