20090119952 | BOOT WITH IMPROVED TIGHTENING OF THE UPPER - A boot including a sole and an upper, the boot extending lengthwise from a heel to a front end, widthwise between a lateral portion and a medial portion, and height-wise from the sole to an upper end. The boot includes a reinforcement that is more rigid than the upper, at least in the region of the instep, the reinforcement including a lateral wall and/or a medial wall, and extending beneath the instep, the boot further including a transverse linkage provided to tighten the instep zone, the linkage extending from the lateral portion to the medial portion in a transverse plane of the boot. | 05-14-2009 |
20110088283 | FOOTWEAR WITH IMPROVED TIGHTENING OF UPPER - An article of footwear including a sole, an upper, a first tightening device for tightening the lateral portion and the medial potion of the article of footwear, as well as a second tightening device for tightening a rear portion. The second tightening device includes a linkage, such as a lace, the linkage including a first inextensible portion and an elastic mechanism, the first inextensible portion extending along the rear portion, as well as along at least one of the lateral and medial portions, the elastic mechanism biasing the first inextensible portion in a direction reducing the length of the linkage, the article of footwear further including a reversible immobilization mechanism for immobilizing the inextensible portion with respect to the upper. | 04-21-2011 |
20120291242 | LOCKING DEVICE FOR LACE STRANDS, TIGHTENING SYSTEM HAVING SUCH DEVICE, AND FOOTWEAR HAVING SUCH SYSTEM - A device for locking strands of laces, including a hollow body demarcating a cavity, the cavity defining at least one passageway for passage of the lace strands, the locking device including a locking member, the locking member being movable between a locking position and a release position, the locking device operating via cooperation of the locking member with each passageway to lock each lace strand by a wedging effect, an elastic mechanism biasing the locking member towards the locking position. The locking device acts for at least three lace strands, and at least one passageway is adapted to receive two superposed lace strands. | 11-22-2012 |
20130086818 | FOOTWEAR WITH IMPROVED TIGHTENING OF UPPER - An article of footwear, such as a boot, including an outer sole assembly and an upper, the boot extending lengthwise from a heel to a tip, widthwise between a lateral portion and a medial portion, and heightwise from the outer sole assembly to an upper end, the boot having an opening for inserting the foot, and including a reinforcement which is integral with the upper and is more rigid than the remainder of the upper, at least in the region of the instep, the reinforcement including a lateral and/or a medial edge extending over a reduced length of the boot at least plumb with the instep, the boot including a transverse linkage provided to tighten the instep zone, the linkage extending from the lateral portion to the medial portion. The linkage includes a first subdivision extending in the longitudinal direction of the boot, over a distance between 25% and 70% of the length thereof. | 04-11-2013 |
20130091737 | FOOTWEAR WITH IMPROVED UPPER - An article of footwear, such as a boot, including an outer sole assembly and an upper, the boot extending lengthwise from a rear end to a front end, widthwise between a lateral side and a medial side, and heightwise from the outer sole assembly to an upper end of the upper, the upper including a lateral quarter and a medial quarter, the boot including a first tightening device, which itself includes a linkage and a quick-locking device, the boot including a cover flap.
