Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an anti-slip shoe sole. It relates more particularly to a shoe sole intended for use in environments where the ground is particularly slippery.
  • the document EP2762027 relates to a shoe comprising a sole comprising grooves.
  • the soles generally include a plurality of grooves formed in at least a portion of the outsole, extending from a lateral side of the sole to an inner side of the sole.
  • the grooves can be linear or curved and extend angularly.
  • the grooves have variable depths depending on whether they are located at the perimeter of the sole or in the center of the sole.
  • the grooves located in the center of the sole have a greater depth than at the edge of the sole.
  • WO2011138639 describes a sole and a liner assembled to form a shoe in which the toes are in separate compartments.
  • the sole is thin and has different tread elements. This sculptural arrangement is an improved version of the body's own skin.
  • the multiple elements of the sole allow a greater range of movement, giving the feeling of being barefoot.
  • the finesse of the sole also improves the environmental sensations perceived by the foot and the body. Such sensations allow the body to make adjustments or corrections that can improve the balance and stability of an individual during a given exercise.
  • the document US4571852 relates to a non-slip sole made of rubber or similar material.
  • This sole has an overall lower surface which is substantially flat. Due to the spiral shape of the ribs, air, water or other liquid can escape without forming an air draw and therefore allows the sole to adhere perfectly to the ground, thus making it fully anti- slip-resistant.
  • the patent application EP1637051 relating to a model of a safety shoe sole, provides a non-slip shoe for shoes, which comprises a heel insert made of a first elastomer and a sole made of a second elastomer which partially incorporates said heel insert, so that the latter remains exposed in the heel zone of said sole.
  • the hardness of the elastomer in the first heel piece is less than that of the second elastomer in the sole.
  • the document further describes a process for the production of said anti-slip sole by molding, or by casting an elastomer.
  • the document EP0383489 referring to the field of the kitchen, describes an anti-slip sole composed of hollowed out lines, intersecting by defining a pattern of studs with non-linear edges. This sole provides an anti-slip effect suitable for tiled surfaces covered with cooking oils or grease.
  • the document US5725823A describes a method of forming a shoe sole comprising a co-molded non-slip insert.
  • the raw materials of unvulcanized rubber sheets of the insert and the main part of the sole are placed in a mold and heated together in order to be melted, with the aim of vulcanizing the rubber and thus producing a non-slip pattern on the rubber. the room.
  • the material of the insert is essentially the same as that of the main part of the sole, except for its color. This however has the look and texture of a separate insert.
  • the invention provides various technical means.
  • a first object of the invention consists in providing a sole allowing use on slippery surfaces.
  • Another object of the invention is to provide treads for activities on frozen soils, such as curling.
  • Yet another object of the invention resides in the provision of soles adapted to the nautical environment.
  • Another object of the invention is to provide treads for professional activities, such as in the medical sector and more specifically in the hospital, where the floors are often slippery.
  • the sole has particularly advantageous grip characteristics, in particular on certain coverings on which soles of known type are appreciably less effective, such as, for example, surfaces covered with a layer of ice.
  • Such a sole can also have particularly advantageous anti-slip characteristics on wet surfaces. So during nautical activities, for example, it is essential to wear shoes suitable for navigation, in particular during the anchoring and mooring phases.
  • the floor of the boat can in this case be the subject of water projections, making the deck slippery. Wearing non-slip footwear is therefore necessary and ensures the safety of the occupants.
  • Wearing such insoles can also be advantageous in certain professional activities, such as for example in the health sector, since the linoleum, PVC or other plastic floor coverings of a hospital environment are often cleaned and therefore moistened for use. reasons of safety and hygiene, which is likely to generate significant risks of loss of adhesion.
  • the soles according to the invention can also find particularly useful applications in sliding sports, such as for example “curling”.
  • a "curling” match in particular after a few innings of play and after several intense sweeping sequences, the surface of the ice presents multiple forms of abrasion often covered with microparticles of ice which tend to melt. , making the floor particularly slippery.
  • the textured areas are present in particular on the sole favoring grip, that is to say the right sole for a right-handed person.
  • this type of anti-slip sole has the advantage of wearing out only minimally since their use remains confined to specific activities on particular soils, very little or even non-abrasive.
  • the contact zone provided with textures is located on the front portion of the sole.
  • the contact zone provided with textures is located on the heel of the sole.
  • the texture covers the majority, for example at least 80%, of the surface in contact with the ground.
  • the textures are arranged so as to provide an anti-slip effect.
  • At least 30% of the protruding elements of the texture form an angle ⁇ greater than 40 ° with respect to a plane tangent to the contact surface and at most 25% of the protruding elements of the texture form an angle ⁇ less than 20 ° with respect to the tangent plane.
  • some of the protruding elements form parallelepipeds with a side between 0.05 mm and 0.5 mm, with a height of between 0.05 mm and 0.5 mm, the distance between two adjacent parallelepipeds in the texture being between 0.05 mm and 0.5 mm.
  • the protruding elements have in texture varying shapes and distances between the protruding elements.
  • part of the hollow elements form openings on the sole and the texture comprises a plurality of openings, said openings being distributed in the texture according to a density at least equal to one opening per square millimeter (mm 2 ), these openings having equivalent diameters of between 0.03 mm and 1.2 mm on the sole.
  • the invention also provides a shoe comprising a sole as previously described.
  • anti-slip sole is understood to mean a type of sole designed to adhere to the ground, and in particular wet or icy ground.
  • This type of sole has anti-slip textures, the coefficient of friction of which on the surfaces described in the present document is appreciably higher compared to the zones devoid of such textures. According to the invention, these characteristics of higher coefficient of friction are effective at iso-materials, and therefore essentially come under the specific architecture of the textures provided and described below. In fact, it has been observed that the very small dimensions of the textures, coupled with the characteristics of the shapes, make it possible to obtain significantly improved behavior of the soles compared to the already known soles.
  • the figure 1 illustrates a first embodiment of the invention.
  • the underside of the sole 1 comprises a plurality of contact zones 2 taking the form of sculptures defined by a top 3 configured so as to be in contact with the ground and the bases 4 of the sculptures, adjacent to the tops, and set back relative to the ground. to the latter, so as to provide a free space between said bottoms 4 and the tops 3.
  • the sculptures can be arranged in an almost infinite number of configurations, in which the profiles and / or the dimensions can vary according to the soles.
  • the tread tops 3 are provided with anti-slip textures 10, as described below.
  • the sculptural backgrounds 4 and the camber 6 are the only areas devoid of such textures 10.
  • the textures 10 are represented by hatching, so as to illustrate the visual effect of strong contrast between the textured areas, at the top 3 of the sculpture, and those non-textured, at the bottom 4 of the sculpture.
  • the front section of the sole has a frontal sculpture, at the very front of the sole, and respectively three and four sculptures on the inner and outer sides.
  • three lateral sculptures on each side occupy most of the heel, the rear comprising a single sculpture over the entire width.
  • Each of the vertices 3 is delimited by a background 4 immediately adjacent to the vertex. 3 vertices are highlighted by 10 textures, creating a noticeable visual effect. Therefore, the sole of the shoe can go a long way in enhancing and enhancing the overall appearance of the shoe.
  • the example of the figure 2 is similar to that of the figure 1 for part of the sculptures of the front sector and the back of the heel.
  • the other heel sculptures feature tops devoid of textures.
  • the same is true for three of the sculptures in the front area, three on the exterior side and one on the interior side.
  • the arch 6 of the sole is also devoid of textures 10.
  • the textures are potentially subject to wear.
  • the shoes are used correctly according to the recommendations provided in this document, such as for example on the deck of a sailboat, on an ice rink possibly covered with a film of water, on a hospital PCV floor, etc. ., where the coefficient abrasion is very low, the level of wear is modest and allows normal use of the shoes for a period comparable to that of conventional shoes.
  • the previously mentioned contrast effect comes from the fact that the luminance level of the zones provided with textures 10 (such as the vertices 3) is lower than that of the zones devoid of textures (such as the vertices of the sculpture elements).
  • textures 10 such as the vertices 3
  • the zones devoid of textures such as the vertices of the sculpture elements.
  • Various arrangements or configurations of textures make it possible to produce such an effect, as described below, in relation to the figures 3 to 8 .
  • the figures 3 to 8 illustrate examples of textures that can be placed on the sole according to the invention.
  • the figure 3 illustrates an embodiment in which the texture comprises a plurality of strands 11.
  • the strands 11 are distributed in the texture according to a density at least equal to one strand per mm 2 , each strand having an average section S of between 0.0005 mm 2 and 1 mm 2 . It is noted that the average section of each strand corresponds to the average of the sections S measured at regular intervals from the base of the strand.
  • the strands 106 have a generally conical shape with a section decreasing in the height Hb of these strands.
  • the figure 4 illustrates an embodiment in which the texture comprises a plurality of blades 12 parallel to each other, the pitch of the blades 12 in the texture being at most equal to 0.5 mm, each blade 12 having an average width of between 0.02 mm and 0.5 mm. It is noted that the average width corresponds to the average of the widths l measured at regular intervals in the height Hl of the blade, the height of each blade being between 0.05 and 0.5 mm.
  • the texture comprises a combination of strands 11 and / or and blades 12.
  • the blades 12 of the figure 4 may be discontinuous. They have a flat part between them. They may also have cross-sectional differences between them.
  • the blades can have curvatures or angles, in particular in their length. They can also be of variable length.
  • the textures have a parallelepipedal section 13 of side C between 0.05 mm and 0.5 mm, with a height Hp between 0.05 mm and 0.5 mm, the distance Dp between two adjacent cavities in the texture being included between 0.05 mm and 0.5 mm.
  • the section of the textures can be circular, polygonal (for example hexagonal). With square or polygonal structures, it is possible to organize the elements more easily with respect to each other so as to limit the area of the intermediate zones between the elements.
  • the elements 14 have variable shapes and distances between them. This variant makes it possible to enter the details of the texture less visible.
  • the figure 7 illustrates a texture according to another non-limiting variant embodiment.
  • the texture is formed by a plurality of cavities 16.
  • the cavities 16 are here in the form of cones which extend in the depth of the surface and open out on this surface, forming circular openings 15.
  • the cavities 16 have thus a section which decreases in depth.
  • the openings 11 of the cavities 16 do not touch each other.
  • the openings 11 are separated by intermediate zones 17.
  • the openings 11 are regularly distributed so that the distance d between each opening is generally similar.
  • the figure 8 is an enlarged view of the texture of the figure 7 . All or part of the cavities here has at least one wall 18 which, in a sectional view, forms a angle ⁇ between 10 ° and 60 ° with respect to a direction Z perpendicular to the texture.
