Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a slipper of dance.
  • a dance shoe has a fabric upper, usually satin fabric or not, and a sole reinforced longitudinally by a shank and at the end by a hollow tip in which the toes are housed, the shank is made of wood or cardboard, while the tip is in most cases made of cardboard or fibers vegetable.
  • slippers of such a design have many disadvantages that create discomfort for the dancer, which adds to the trauma caused by the position on spikes.
  • the shank rests in the tip by one of its ends resulting in a extra thickness which causes some discomfort.
  • the shank is very rigid, which which requires giving it a curved shape in order to obtain a perfect line from the toe, which on the other hand is detrimental to the stability of the flat foot.
  • the insert of this slipper also has a lower cavity to block an element stiffener that extends from the tip to the heel.
  • the material plastic from which the insert is made heats up and softens, so that the tip part flares with consequence a decrease in support which results in discomfort.
  • the feet are of sizes and very different forms, which requires the realization of many different inserts to create a full range of slippers, which is very expensive in terms of molds.
  • the dancers have certain requirements concerning either the length of the shank part, or the size and wrap of the tip part, which multiplies the number of inserts, therefore molds, that it is necessary to realize.
  • shank part of these slippers which in the shape of a sole, is on the one hand too wide which detracts from the aesthetics, and other part too long which is a nuisance for the position in half point.
  • stiffener is integral fixing the insert, in particular in document US-A-4,901,453, so the curve is hardly reversible this which also constitutes discomfort when the foot is placed flat, or in the half-tip position, and has risk of breaking the stiffener.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide a dance shoe to remedy these various disadvantages.
  • the dance shoe object of this invention is essentially characterized in that it includes an insert, produced by molding a semi-rigid material, incorporating a tip part and a shank part of curved shape, said shank part comprising at its underside holding means in the direction transverse of a stiffener, while said end piece is placed in an envelope of complementary shape and made of a flexible and slightly deformable material.
  • the cover is made of leather or the like.
  • the shank part is narrow, and can be cut to size desired length.
  • the present invention thus makes it possible to carry out a custom slipper which, in addition to its comfort, is low cost. Indeed only a few molds are necessary, these being differentiated by the internal width of the end piece.
  • the slipper is made according to the dancer's choices, this one can choose between a longer or shorter shank, a more or less rigid stiffener, and a more or less less flexible and more or less enveloping, that is to say that this may or may not extend beyond the tip portion of the insert.
  • Insert 1 which is made of rubber natural or synthetic, or plastic, has two parts, one end piece 10 and one shank part 11.
  • the end piece 10 has a wall lower flat 12 and an upper wall 13, the assembly forming a cavity 14, not visible in FIG. 1, intended to accommodate the toes, while the end 15 is flat to allow position on tip.
  • the shank part 11 consists of a extension of the wall 12 which narrows in the widthwise to form a strip which curves in the anatomical sense of the arch.
  • the underside 16 of the shank 11 has longitudinally two ribs 17 parallel, not visible in Figure 2, intended to hold in the direction transverse a stiffener 2, also not visible on the Figure 2, being placed between them.
  • the stiffener 2 can be produced in different materials, depending on the desired hardness, it can be for example fiberglass or carbon fiber.
  • the ribs 17 only allow the holding the stiffener 2 in the transverse direction, its holding against the insert 1 being produced by the rod in fabric, not shown, with which the insert is covered, which allows the sliding, in the longitudinal direction, of the stiffener 2 on insert 1, so as not to damage the stiffener 2 and facilitate bending in one direction or in the other.
  • part end piece 10 in particular the upper wall 13, may include holes, not shown, allowing the foot to "breathe”.
  • a damping element which can either be a removable element, made of a material malleable paste, gel, or viscoelastic materials, or a pocket filled with air.
  • shank part 11 to know its length, its width and its thickness, are chosen according to the anatomy of the foot, in order to respect the longitudinal and transverse arcs the arch of the foot.
  • the shank portion 11 thus takes place between the longitudinal arcs, while its end 18 must coincide with the transverse arch in front of the heel, which is obtained by cutting the shank part 11 to length desired, this cut being preferably made as a whistle.
  • the shank part 11 does not constitute a gene as is the case with traditional slippers, especially since it does not not retain its shape, on the one hand that the stiffener 2 is not fixedly attached to it, and on the other hand flexibility of the material from which insert 1 is made.
  • stiffener 2 does not extend under the end piece 10 to allow the half-point position.
  • edge of the wall upper 13 has in its middle region a notch 19, which allows, when positioned on tip, the exit of the base of toes, resulting in better tip expression.
  • Envelope 3 contains the flaring of the end piece 10, which can occur during the heating of the material from which the insert is made.
  • the envelope 3 can be produced on the one hand in leathers of different suppleness, and on the other hand in different dimensions, so that, depending on the choice of the dancer, it can completely cover or partially the tip part 10 of the insert 10.
  • envelope 3 extends beyond the end piece to extend over the foot, thus, the extreme part of the liner remains rigid, while that the middle part is flexible and enveloping, which increases comfort.
