Tous les dispositifs de chauffage connus qu ils soient du type électrique ou à combustible liquide ou ga­ zeux présentent l inconvénient qu une fois le chauffage mis en marche l arret de ce chauffage ne peut etre obtenue que par intervention manuelle du porteur de la chaussure Autre ment dit celui ci doit penser à couper le chauffage lors qu il quitte sa chaussure et il peut évidemment arriver qu il oublie de procéder à cette manoeuvre ce qui se tra duit alors par une poursuite du chauffage de la chaussure déchaussée d où un épuisement rapide de la source d énergie utilisée et un gaspillage de cette énergieAll known heating devices whether electric or liquid fuel or gas They have the disadvantage that once the heating is switched on, the stopping of this heating can only be obtained by manual intervention of the wearer of the shoe. In other words, the latter must remember to switch off the heating when he leaves his shoe and he can Obviously it happens that he forgets to carry out this maneuver, which then translates into further heating of the bare shoe, resulting in a rapid exhaustion of the energy source used and a waste of this energy.

La présente invention vise à remédier à ces inconvé nients en procurant une chaussure pourvue de moyens provo quant automatiquement la coupure de l alimentation en éner gie aussitot que le porteur de la chaussure desserre la tige de celle ciThe present invention seeks to remedy these drawbacks by providing a shoe provided with means which automatically cut off the supply of energy as soon as the wearer of the shoe loosens the upper thereof.

La platine de commande manuelle 19 comprend égale ment à sa partie supérieure une patte 19d s étendant vers le haut et agissant sur un cliquet 28 qui est articulé sur la partie supérieure de la platine 21 d actionnement du robinet autour d un axe horizontal et transversal 29 Ce cliquet 28 est réalisé sous la forme d un levier à deux branches s étendant en direction de la paroi postérieure de la tige 12 La branche inférieure 28a du cliquet 28 est en contact à son extrémité avec l extrémité supérieure de la patte d actionnement 19d et la branche supérieure 28b de ce cliquet s étend vers le haut jusqu à la paroi postérieure de la tige 12 Le cliquet 28 est sollicité dans le sens des aiguilles d une montre par un ressort 31 si bien que sa branche supérieure 28b est repoussée constamment en direc­tion de la paroi postérieure de la tige 12The manual control plate 19 also comprises at its upper part a tab 19d extending upwards and acting on a pawl 28 which is articulated on the upper part of the plate 21 for actuating the tap around a horizontal and transverse axis 29 This pawl 28 is produced in the form of a lever with two branches extending in the direction of the rear wall of the rod 12 The lower branch 28a of the pawl 28 is in contact at its end with the upper end of the actuating tab 19d and the upper branch 28b of this pawl extends upwards to the rear wall of the rod 12 The pawl 28 is urged clockwise by a spring 31 so that its upper branch 28b is constantly pushed in the direction of the posterior wall of the rod 12

La chaussure de ski représentée sur la figure 1 est pourvue de moyen de serrage de sa tige 12 autour du bas de la jambe du skieur Dans cette forme d exécution ces moyens de serrage sont constitués par des cables 32 entourant la partie supérieure de la tige et qui sont reliés à un dispo sitif de serrage de tout type connu manoeuvrable manuelle ment par le skieur Les cables 32 du serrage de bas de jambe s étendent en arrière d une partie 33 de la paroi postérieu re de la tige 12 qui est découpée de manière à constituer un volet mobile Plus particulièrement ce volet 33 est délimité par une découpe en U il reste attenant à la partie supé rieure de la paroi postérieure de la tige 12 et il est déta ché du restant de la paroi de la tige 12 le long de ses deux bords latéraux et verticaux et de son bord inférieur hori zontal et transversal 33a ce bord inférieur étant destiné à constituer une butée pour l extrémité de la branche supé rieure 28b du cliquet 28 Le volet 33 présente sur sa par tie où prennent appui les cables 32 de serrage du bas de jambe une épaisseur allant en croissant vers le bas si bien que le volet 33 a en coupe verticale et longitudinale sensiblement la forme d un trapèze dont la grande base cons titue le bord inférieur 33a formant butée du volet 33. Par ailleurs ce volet 33 est solicité par un ressort 34 qui tend à le repousser vers l extérieur En position de repos c est-à-dire lorsque la tige 12 n est pas serrée autour du bas de jambe du skieur le volet 33 se trouve dans la posi tion représentée sur la figure 3 et dans cette position sa face interne 33b est à fleur avec la face interne de la paroi postérieure de la tige 12 tandis que sa face externe 33c s étend en saillie vers l extérieur et vers le bas Le ressort de rappel 34 du volet 33 est avantageusement consti­tué par un ressort à lame cambré qui est fixé à son extrémi té supérieure par exemple au moyen d'un rivet 35 à la partie supérieure de la paroi postérieure de la tige 12 et dont la partie inférieure cambrée à concavité tournée vers le volet 33 est en appui contre la face interne 33b du volet de blocage 33The ski boot shown in FIG. 1 is provided with means for tightening its upper 12 around the bottom of the skier's leg. In this embodiment, these means clamping devices consist of cables 32 surrounding the upper part of the rod and which are connected to a clamping device of any known type which can be operated manually by the skier. The cables 32 for clamping the lower leg extend behind a part 33 of the rear wall of the rod 12 which is cut so as to constitute a movable flap More particularly this flap 33 is delimited by a U-shaped cutout, it remains attached to the upper part of the rear wall of the rod 12 and it is detached from the rest of the wall of the rod 12 along its two lateral and vertical edges and from its horizontal and transverse lower edge 33a, this lower edge being intended to constitute a stop for the end of the upper branch 28b of the pawl 28 The flap 33 has, on its part where the cables 32 for tightening the lower leg bear, a thickness going downwards increasing so that the flap 33 has a cut e vertical and longitudinal substantially the shape of a trapezium whose large base constitutes the lower edge 33a forming a stop for the flap 33. Furthermore this flap 33 is solicited by a spring 34 which tends to push it outwards In the rest position c that is to say when the rod 12 is not tightened around the lower leg of the skier, the flap 33 is in the position shown in FIG. 3 and in this position its internal face 33b is flush with the internal face of the rear wall of the rod 12 while its outer face 33c extends outwardly and downward The return spring 34 of the flap 33 is advantageously constituted by a cambered leaf spring which is fixed at its upper end by example by means of a rivet 35 at the upper part of the rear wall of the rod 12 and the lower arched part of which has a concavity facing the flap 33 is in abutment against the internal face 33b of the block flap age 33

Lorsque le skieur, après avoir chaussé sa chaussure serre la tige 12 de celle ci autour de son bas de jambe au moyen des cables 32 l action exercée par ces cables 32 sur la face externe 33c du volet 33 provoque l enfoncement de ce volet 33 à l intérieur de la tige comme il est représenté sur la figure 2 Dans cette position la branche supérieure 28b du cliquet 28 qui est en appui contre la partie infé­rieure de la face interne 33b du volet 33 est repoussée de ce fait, légèrement vers l'intérieur et le dispositif 16 de commande d alimentation en gaz se trouve normalement en position de fermeture. La platine de commande manuelle 19 est en effet repoussée dans sa position extreme supérieure par le ressort 25 position dans laquelle son aile inférieure 19b est en contact avec la saillie 22 Par ailleurs la pla­tine 21 d actionnement du robinet 13 est également repous sée par le ressort 25 en position extreme supérieure et sa patte inférieure 15 maintient le doigt 14 d actionnement du robinet 13, dans sa position extreme supérieure correspon dant à la fermeture de ce robinet.When the skier, after putting on his shoe tightens the rod 12 thereof around his lower leg by means of the cables 32 the action exerted by these cables 32 on the external face 33c of the flap 33 causes the depression of this flap 33 inside the rod as shown in FIG. 2 In this position the upper branch 28b of the pawl 28 which is in abutment against the lower part of the internal face 33b of the flap 33 is thus pushed back slightly the interior and the gas supply control device 16 is normally in the closed position. The manual control plate 19 is in fact pushed back into its extreme upper position by the spring 25 position in which its lower wing 19b is in contact with the projection 22 Furthermore the plate 21 for actuating the tap 13 is also pushed back by the spring 25 in the upper extreme position and its lower tab 15 maintains the finger 14 for actuating the valve 13, in its upper extreme position corresponding to the closing of this valve.

Si le skieur désire mettre en marche le dispositif de chauffage il appuie vers le bas sur le bouton de com mande 24 ce qui a pour effet de provoquer la descente des deux platines 19 et 21 à l encontre de l action du ressort de rappel 25. La descente de la patte 15 libère le doigt 14 qui est alors repoussé en position inférieure d ouverture par le ressort 14a si bien que le robinet 13 s ouvre et que le gaz peut s écouler en direction du bruleur 3 En poursui vant temporairement le mouvement de descente du bouton de commande 24 au-dela de la position intermédiaire d ouver ture la platine 19 repousse par son aile inférieure 19b le poussoir 17 de l allumeur piézo électrique 18 ce qui provoque alors la production d une étincelle à l électrode 8 pour allumer le gaz Après relachement du bouton de commande 24 celui ci se replace automatiquement sous l action du ressort de rappel 25 dans la position d ouverture intermé diaire qui est représentée sur la figure 1. Il est retenu dans cette position du fait que le cliquet 28 se trouve alors verrouillé, ainsi qu il est représenté sur la figure 1 En effet au cours du mouvement de descente de la platine 21 d actionnement du robinet 13, la branche supérieure 28a du cliquet 28 glisse sur la face interne 33b du volet 33 et lorsqu elle arrive juste en dessous du bord inférieur 33a de ce volet le cliquet 28 pivote dans le sens des aiguilles d une montre autour de son axe 29 sous l'action du ressort 31 et l extrémité supérieure de la branche supérieure 28a du cliquet 28 vient s engager sous le bord inférieur 33a du volet 33 en étant ainsi immobilisée par ce dernier. Le cli quet 28 étant ainsi verrouillé sa branche inférieure 28b constitue une butée fixe contre laquelle est appliquée la patte supérieure 19d de la platine 19 ce qui empêche ainsi le retour automatique des deux platines 19 et 21 en position de fermeture Le skieur peut toutefois couper à tout moment le chauffage, en tirant le bouton de commande 24 vers le haut Dans ce cas la patte 19d force sur le cliquet 28 et le fait pivoter dans le sens inverse des aiguilles d une montre autour de l axe 29 en dégageant ainsi la branche supérieure 28b du bord 33a du volet 33 A partir de ce moment les deux platines 19,21 peuvent coulisser automatiquement vers le haut sous l'action du ressort de rappel 25 pour passer en position de fermeture de l alimentation en gaz.If the skier wishes to switch on the heating device, he presses down on the control button 24 which has the effect of causing the two plates 19 and 21 to descend against the action of the return spring 25. The descent of the tab 15 releases the finger 14 which is then pushed back into the lower opening position by the spring 14a so that the valve 13 opens and the gas can flow towards the burner 3 By temporarily continuing the movement of lowering of the control button 24 beyond the intermediate opening position the plate 19 pushes by its lower wing 19b the pusher 17 of the piezoelectric igniter 18 which then causes the production of a spark at the electrode 8 to ignite the gas After releasing the control button 24, this is automatically replaced by the action of the return spring 25 in the intermediate opening position which is shown in FIG. 1. It is retained in ns this position due to the fact that the pawl 28 is then locked, as shown in FIG. 1 Indeed during the downward movement of the plate 21 for actuating the valve 13, the upper branch 28a of the pawl 28 slides on the internal face 33b of the flap 33 and when it arrives just below the lower edge 33a of this flap the pawl 28 pivots clockwise around its axis 29 under the action of the spring 31 and the upper end of the upper branch 28a of the pawl 28 engages under the lower edge 33a of the flap 33 in thus being immobilized by the latter. The cli quet 28 thus being locked its lower branch 28b constitutes a fixed abutment against which the upper tab 19d of the plate 19 is applied, thereby preventing the automatic return of the two plates 19 and 21 to the closed position. The skier can however cut at heating at any time, by pulling the control button 24 upwards In this case the lug 19d forces on the pawl 28 and makes it rotate anticlockwise around the axis 29 thereby freeing the upper branch 28b of the edge 33a of the shutter 33 From this moment the two plates 19, 21 can slide automatically upwards under the action of the return spring 25 to pass into the closed position of the gas supply.

D après la description qui précède on voit que pour que le cliquet 28 puisse etre verrouillé en position et constituer une butée pour maintenir les platines 19 et 21 en position d ouverture du gaz il est nécessaire que le volet 33 soit enfoncé à l intérieur de la tige 12, autrement dit que les cables 32 soient serrés autour de la tige 12. Par conséquent si le skieur oublie de couper préalablement le chauffage lorsqu'il ouvre la tige de sa chaussure la cou pure de l alimentation en gaz du bruleur 3 s effectue auto matiquement. En effet le volet de blocage 33 qui est alors repoussé vers l'extérieur dès que les cables 32 sont des­serrés sous l action de son ressort de rappel 34, vient occuper la position illustrée sur la figure 3 dans laquelle sa face interne 33b est à fleur avec la face interne de la paroi postérieure de la tige 12 Par conséquent, si le dis positif 16 de commande de l alimentation en gaz se trouvait être précédemment en position d ouverture dans laquelle il était retenu par le cliquet 28 en butée contre le bord infé­rieur 33a du volet 33 le cliquet 28 échappe alors à la butée que constitue le bord inférieur 33a du volet 33 ce qui permet aux deux platines 19 21 de coulisser automatique ment vers le haut sous l'action du ressort de rappel 25 pour passer en position de fermeture de l alimentation en gaz.From the foregoing description, it can be seen that for the pawl 28 to be locked in position and to constitute a stop to keep the plates 19 and 21 in the gas opening position, the flap 33 must be pressed inside the rod 12, in other words that the cables 32 are tightened around the rod 12. Consequently if the skier forgets to cut the heating beforehand when he opens the rod of his shoe the pure neck of the gas supply to the burner 3 is carried out automatically. Indeed the blocking flap 33 which is then pushed outwards as soon as the cables 32 are loosened under the action of its return spring 34, comes to occupy the position illustrated in FIG. 3 in which its internal face 33b is flush with the internal face of the rear wall of the rod 12 Consequently, if the device 16 for controlling the gas supply was previously in the open position in which it was retained by the pawl 28 in abutment against the lower edge 33a of the flap 33 the pawl 28 then escapes the stop that constitutes the lower edge 33a of the flap 33 ce which allows the two plates 19 21 to slide automatically upwards under the action of the return spring 25 to pass into the closed position of the gas supply.

Dans la variante d exécution représentée sur les figures 4 et 5 la chaussure est du type à entrée avant et le serrage de la tige 12 de la chaussure est réalisé au moyen d un câble 36 entourant l avant de la tige et qui est accroché à un levier pivotant 37 pourvu de plusieurs crans d'accrochage 38 pour obtenir divers degrés de serrage Le levier de serrage 37 est articulé autour d un axe 39 sur une chape extérieure 41 qui peut coulisser horizontalement par rapport à la paroi de la tige 12. L âme de la chape 41 est traversée par un rivet 42 qui s'étend à travers une lumière horizontale 43 ménagée dans la paroi de la tige 12 Le rivet 42 est fixé, à l intérieur de la tige 12 à une extrémité antérieure d un bracelet d appui 44 qui s étend le long de la face interne de la tige 12 Ce bracelet d'appui 44 comprend une partie postérieure 44a qui s étend au dessus du cliquet 28 du dispositif 16 de commande de l alimentation en gaz. A cet endroit la paroi postérieure de la tige 12 forme un bourrelet 45 en saillie vers l'extérieur et qui déli­mite une rainure interne 46 dont la section transversale correspond à celle du bracelet d'appui 44, afin que la par tie postérieure 44a de ce bracelet 44 puisse venir s escamo ter dans la rainure 46. Le bracelet d'appui 44 est normale ment sollicité vers l arrière par un ressort de compression 47 Ce ressort 47 est logé dans une lumière horizontale 48 ménagée dans la partie antérieure du bracelet d appui 44 et il prend appui, à son extrémité antérieure, sur un épaule ment 49 faisant saillie dans la lumière 48 et issu de la paroi de la tige 12. Le ressort 47 prend appui à son extré mité postérieure, sur le bord postérieur de la lumière 48.In the variant shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the boot is of the front entry type and the upper of the boot 12 is tightened by means of a cable 36 surrounding the front of the upper and which is hooked to a pivoting lever 37 provided with several hooking notches 38 to obtain various degrees of tightening The tightening lever 37 is articulated around an axis 39 on an outer yoke 41 which can slide horizontally relative to the wall of the rod 12. The core of the yoke 41 is crossed by a rivet 42 which extends through a horizontal lumen 43 formed in the wall of the rod 12 The rivet 42 is fixed, inside the rod 12 to an anterior end of a support strap 44 which extends along the internal face of the rod 12 This support strap 44 comprises a rear part 44a which extends above the pawl 28 of the device 16 for controlling the gas supply. At this point, the rear wall of the rod 12 forms a bead 45 projecting outwards and which delimits an internal groove 46 whose cross section corresponds to that of the support strap 44, so that the rear part 44a of this bracelet 44 can be retracted into the groove 46. The support bracelet 44 is normally biased towards the rear by a compression spring 47 This spring 47 is housed in a horizontal slot 48 formed in the front part of the support bracelet 44 and it is supported, at its anterior end, on a shoulder 49 projecting into the lumen 48 and coming from the wall of the rod 12. The spring 47 is supported at its posterior end, on the posterior edge of the lumen 48.

Lorsque la tige 12 de la chaussure est serrée sur le bas de jambe du skieur, le levier de serrage 37 est appli quée contre la tige 12, comme il est représenté sur la fi gure 5 et dans cette position sa chape d articulation 41 est décalée vers l'avant. Le mouvement vers l'avant de cette chape 31 est transmis, par le rivet 42 à la partie extrême antérieure du bracelet d'appui 44 qui se trouve être donc tiré, de ce fait vers l avant à l encontre de l action du ressort 47 comprimé d avantage sur l'épaulement 49. La par tie postérieure 44a du bracelet d appui 44 se trouve alors sortie de la rainure 46 et dans cette position sortie elle située juste au-dessus de l extrémité de la branche supé rieure 28b du cliquet 28 pour constituer une butée permet tant le verrouillage du dispositif 16 de commande de l ali mentation en gaz en position d ouverture, comme dans le cas de la forme d'exécution précédemment décrite en référence aux figures 1 à 3When the upper 12 of the boot is tightened on the lower leg of the skier, the tightening lever 37 is applied against the upper 12, as shown in FIG. 5 and in this position its articulation yoke 41 is offset forward. The forward movement of this yoke 31 is transmitted by the rivet 42 to the end part front of the support strap 44 which is therefore pulled, thereby forwards against the action of the spring 47 compressed more on the shoulder 49. The rear part 44a of the support strap 44 is then out of the groove 46 and in this out position it is located just above the end of the upper branch 28b of the pawl 28 to constitute a stop so that the device 16 for controlling the gas supply in position is locked opening, as in the case of the embodiment previously described with reference to Figures 1 to 3

Si le dispositif de chauffage étant en fonctionne ment, le skieur desserre sa tige 12 en oubliant de couper l alimentation en gaz, le desserrage de la tige 12, par passage du levier 37 dans la position indiquée en trait mixte sur la figure 5, provoque la libération du bracelet d appui 44. Ce bracelet 44 est alors repoussé vers l arrière sous l'action du ressort 47 ce déplacement étant rendu possible par le coulissement du rivet 42 dans la lumière 43. Du fait de ce déplacement vers l'arrière la partie posté rieure 44a du bracelet d'appui 44 vient s escamoter dans la rainure 46 prévue dans la paroi de la tige 12, et du fait de l'effacement de la butée qu'elle constitue le cliquet 28 est libéré et la platine 21 peut alors coulisser vers le haut en fermant, par sa patte 15 le robinet d'alimentation 13.If the heating device is in operation, the skier loosens his rod 12 forgetting to cut off the gas supply, the loosening of the rod 12, by passing the lever 37 into the position indicated in dashed lines in FIG. 5, causes the release of the support strap 44. This strap 44 is then pushed backwards under the action of the spring 47, this movement being made possible by the sliding of the rivet 42 in the slot 43. Due to this rearward movement the lower post 44a of the support strap 44 is retracted into the groove 46 provided in the wall of the rod 12, and due to the erasure of the stop it constitutes the pawl 28 is released and the plate 21 can then slide upwards by closing, by its tab 15, the supply tap 13.
