Abstract
Description
La présente invention concerne une surchaussure pour ski de fond.The present invention relates to an overshoe for cross-country skiing.
On sait que la pratique du ski de fond, et tout spécialement du ski de fond de compétition, impose au skieur le port de chaussures légères et à tige basse afin de permettre le fléchissement des chevilles au cours de la course. Ces chaussures présentent un inconvénient certain : elles ne protègent pratiquement pas le pied du skieur contre l'introduction de la neige, spécialement au niveau des chevilles ; les pieds des skieurs ne sont donc pas protégés contre l'action de l'humidité et du froid en résultant.We know that the practice of cross-country skiing, and especially of competitive cross-country skiing, requires the skier to wear light shoes and low toe to allow the ankles to flex during the race. These shoes have a certain drawback: they practically do not protect the skier's foot against the introduction of snow, especially at the ankles; skiers' feet are therefore not protected against the action of humidity and the resulting cold.
On utilise couramment des guêtres pour remédier au moins partiellement à cet inconvénient ces guêtres réalisées généralement en tissu enduit présentant une certaine extensibilité protègent relativement bien la cheville et le dessus du pied mais ne font que recouvrir la chaussure sans l'enserrer complètement ; leur solidari- sation à la chaussure est en général assurée par passage, sous la semelle, d'élastiques ou de languettes de fixation reliés à la partie supérieure de la guêtre qui n'empêchent pas l'introduction de la neige sous la chaussure.Gaiters are commonly used to at least partially remedy this drawback, these gaiters generally made of coated fabric having a certain extensibility protect the ankle and the top of the foot relatively well but only cover the shoe without completely enclosing it; their attachment to the shoe is generally ensured by passing, under the sole, elastic or fixing tabs connected to the upper part of the gaiter which do not prevent the introduction of snow under the shoe.
La présente invention s'est donnée pour but de fournir une surchaussure pour ski de fond qui, enserrant complètement la chaussure, protège parfaitement le pied du skieur contre le froid et l'humidité dus en particulier à l'introduction de la neige sur et sous la chaussure.The object of the present invention is to provide an overshoe for cross-country skiing which, completely enclosing the boot, perfectly protects the skier's foot against cold and humidity due in particular to the introduction of snow on and under the shoe.
C'est ainsi que l'invention a pour objet une surchaussure constituée par une chaussette tricotée de type classique dont l'originalité consiste en ce que le bout du pied présente une ouverture sensiblement circulaire, prévue pour laisser passer l'extrémité avant de la chaussure et bordée d'une bande élastique, prévue pour resserrer cette ouverture et la renforcer, et en ce que la semelle présente une fente médiane longitudinale prévue pour laisser passer la partie inférieure de la chaussure destinée à coopérer avec les moyens de guidage solidaires du ski.Thus, the invention relates to an overshoe consisting of a knitted sock of the conventional type, the originality of which is that the end of the foot has a substantially circular opening, intended to allow the front end of the shoe to pass through. and bordered by an elastic band, intended to tighten this opening and strengthen it, and in that the sole has a longitudinal central slot intended to allow the lower part of the shoe intended to cooperate with the integral guide means to pass ski.
La surchaussure est tricotée à partir de fils en fibres naturelles ou synthétiques ou en mélange de ces fibres, selon tout type de tricotage connu en soi et utilisé dans la fabrication de chaussettes.The overshoe is knitted from yarns of natural or synthetic fibers or a mixture of these fibers, according to any type of knitting known per se and used in the manufacture of socks.
La souplesse inhérente aux procédés classiques de tricotage utilisés pour la fabrication des chaussettes constituant les surchaussures jointe à la disposition de l'ouverture du bout de pied et à celle de la fente ménagée sous la semelle assure, par simple enfilage de la surchaussure sur une chaussure de ski de fond sa parfaite adaptation aux contours de la chaussure qu'elle enserre totalement, protégeant ainsi de façon très efficace le pied du skieur tant contre l'humidité que contre le froid.The inherent flexibility of the conventional knitting processes used for the manufacture of the socks constituting the overshoes combined with the provision of the opening of the toe and that of the slot made under the sole ensures, by simply threading the overshoe on a shoe cross-country ski its perfect adaptation to the contours of the shoe which it completely encloses, thus very effectively protecting the skier's foot against both humidity and cold.
La présente invention sera mieux comprise d'ailleurs et ses avantages ressortiront bien de la description qui suit, en référence au dessin schématique annexé représentant, à titre d'exemple non limitatif, une forme d'exécution de la surchaussure selon l'invention.
- Figure 1 est une vue de dessous de la surchaussure avant mise en place ;
- Figure 2 est une vue similaire à figure 1, représentant la surchaussure enfilée sur la chaussure ;
- Figure 3 est une vue en perspective d'une chaussure de ski de fond revêtue de la surchaussure ; et
- Figure 4 est une vue en coupe longitudinale d'une chaussure de ski de fond revêtue de la surchaussure.
- Figure 1 is a bottom view of the overshoe before implementation;
- Figure 2 is a view similar to Figure 1, showing the overshoe put on the shoe;
- Figure 3 is a perspective view of a cross-country ski boot coated with the overshoe; and
- Figure 4 is a longitudinal sectional view of a cross-country ski boot covered with the overshoe.
Sur les figures, 2 désigne la surchaussure présentant en bout de pied une ouverture 3 bordée par une bande élastique 4 et sous la semelle une fente 5 renforcée par les coutures 6, 7 la chaussure de ski de fond.In the figures, 2 denotes the overshoe having at the end of the foot an
Comme on le voit sur la figure 1, la surchaussure 2 est constituée par une chaussette, réalisée selon des procédés classiques de tricotage de ce type d'articles ; elle est tricotée à partir de fils de toute nature, naturelle, artificielle ou synthétique, ou à partir de mélanges de ces fibres. On unit généralement la laine et au moins une fibre synthétique pour réunir les propriétés favorables de chacune de ces fibres tant au point de vue pouvoir adiathermique'que résistance physique. Ces fils ont éventuellement été soumis, comme il est connu en soi, à un traitement d'imperméabilisation appliqué soit avant, soit après tricotage.As can be seen in FIG. 1, the
Selon l'invention, une ouverture 3 est ménagée à l'extrémité avant de la surchaussure 2, soit par découpe de la chaussette tombant de métier, soit au cours du tricotage lui-même, par omission de l'opération de fermeture du bout de pied. Dans tous les cas, cette ouverture 3 est munie par couture ou tout autre moyen classique, d'une bande élastique 4 qui d'une part évite tout démaillage du tricot lors des opérations de mise sous tension qu'il subira à l'usage, et d'autre part, communique à ladite ouverture 3 de bonnes propriétés élastiques lui permettant de s'adapter étroitement, comme on le verra ci-après, à l'extrémité avant de la chaussure.According to the invention, an
Une fente longitudinale 5 est d'autre part ménagée dans la partie médiane de la semelle de la surchaussure 2 ; dans le cas prévu au dessin cette fente 5 est ménagée entre la base du talon et le milieu de la semelle afin de laisser passer la partie évidée 10 du talon de la chaussure 7 destinée à coopérer avec une nervure guide ménagée dans la plaque de guidage arrière de la fixation du ski de fond.A
La fente 5 pourra bien entendu, sans sortir du cadre de l'invention, se prolonger plus ou moins dans la partie médiane de la semelle de la surchaussure 2 selon la configuration tant de la semelle de la chaussure que des moyens de guidage solidaires du ski destinés à coopérer avec ladite semelle. Cette fente résulte d'une coupure pratiquée dans toute l'épaisseur de la semelle, le long d'une colonne de mailles. Afin également d'éviter tout défilement du tricot lors de l'utilisation et de consolider la fente 5, ladite fente est bordée d'une couture fixant les fils en position.The
Afin de prévenir une usure prématurée des parties de la surchaussure soumises au frottement de la neige, et spécialement de la neige glacée, des éléments de renfort localisés éventuellement amovibles, sont prévus en 13 ; comme on le voit sur les figures, ces éléments 13, placés aux parties les plus exposées à l'usure recouvrent à la fois une partie de la semelle et des côtés de la surchaussure 2.In order to prevent premature wear of the parts of the overshoe subjected to the friction of snow, and especially frozen snow, localized reinforcement elements which may be removable, are provided at 13; as can be seen in the figures, these
Sur les figures 2, 3 et 4, on voit une chaussure de ski de fond 7 équipée de la surchaussure 2 selon l'invention.In FIGS. 2, 3 and 4, a cross-country ski boot 7 is seen equipped with the
Il suffit au skieur, une fois chaussé, d'enfiler la surchaussure 2 par-dessus la chaussure 7, d'introduire dans l'ouverture 3 bordée de la bande 4 l'avancée 8 de l'extrémité avant de la chaussure 7 et d'emboîter le talon 11 de la surchaussure 2 sur le talon 12 de la chaussure 7 ; la fente 5 ménagée dans la semelle de la surchaussure s'agrandit alors sous l'effet de la tension exercée et laisse apparaître l'évidement 10 ménagé sous la base 9 du talon 11 de la chaussure 7, et qui est destiné à coopérer avec une nervure guide ménagée dans la plaque de guidage arrière de la fixation du ski de fond (non représentée).It is sufficient for the skier, once fitted, to put on the
Il ressort bien des figures que la surchaussure 2 recouvre parfaitement la chaussure 7 à l'exception bien entendu de l'avancée 8 et de l'évidement 5 et assure à celle-ci une protection parfaite contre le froid et l'humidité.It is clear from the figures that the
La tige de la chaussette réalisée, de façon classique, en bords côte contribue à la protection en maintenant l'extrémité supérieure de la surchaussure serrée contre la jambe du skieur et évitant, toute introduction de neige dans le haut de la chaussure.The upper of the sock produced, in a conventional manner, at the ribbing edges contributes to protection by keeping the upper end of the overshoe tight against the skier's leg and preventing any introduction of snow into the top of the shoe.
Comme il va de soi, et comme il ressort de ce qui précède, la présente invention ne se limite pas à la seule forme d'exécution décrite ci-dessus à titre d'exemple ; elle en embrasse, au contraire, toutes les variantes de réalisation, quels que soient notamment la nature et le titre des fils utilisés pour le tricotage, l'armure et la jauge utilisée pour le tricotage de la surchaussure et les dimensions respectives de l'ouverture 3 et de la fente 5.As is obvious, and as is clear from the above, the present invention is not limited to the single embodiment described above by way of example; on the contrary, it embraces all the variant embodiments thereof, whatever the nature and the title of the threads used for knitting, the weave and the gauge used for knitting the overshoe and the respective dimensions of the
