Shoe sole device and shoe comprising such a sole device

Abstract

The invention relates to a shoe sole device comprising two superposed chassis articulated relative to one another. For preference, movement-absorbing means, which notably absorb pivoting movements of the chassis relative to one another are provided. The invention also covers a shoe having such a shoe sole device and an assembly rig for manufacturing such a shoe.

1 . A sole assembly for a shoe comprising two frame members located one above the other, and articulated with respect to each other. 
     
     
         2 . The sole assembly according to  claim 1 , comprising means for damping movement, in particular pivoting of the frame members relative to each other. 
     
     
         3 . The sole assembly according to  claim 2 , wherein the movement damping means comprise two pieces of resilient material interposed between the two frame members located one above the other. 
     
     
         4 . The sole assembly according to  claim 3 , wherein the pieces of resilient material are received in complementary housings dug in at least one of the two frame members, preferably in the two frame members. 
     
     
         5 . The sole assembly according to  claim 3 , wherein the two frame members are articulated at a pivot point disposed between the two pieces of resilient material. 
     
     
         6 . The sole assembly according to  claim 1 , wherein the two frame members are articulated by means of a component forming two cylinders, each cylinder being received in a complementary housing formed in each one of the two frame members, at least one of the two cylinders being of circular section. 
     
     
         7 . The sole assembly according to  claim 6 , wherein the component forming two cylinders is made of resilient material. 
     
     
         8 . The sole assembly according to  claim 7 , wherein the component forming two cylinders also form a tongue of resilient material between the two cylinders. 
     
     
         9 . The sole assembly according to  claim 1 , wherein a first one of the two frame members has a cylindrical projection of circular cross-section and the other frame member has a housing complementary to the cylindrical projection of the first frame member, to allow the articulation the two frame members one relative to the other. 
     
     
         10 . The sole assembly according to  claim 1 , wherein outsoles are fixed on one of the two frame members. 
     
     
         11 . The sole assembly according to  claim 1 , wherein a first comfort padding is fixed on one of the two frame members, different, where appropriate, from the frame member to which outsoles are fixed. 
     
     
         12 . A shoe comprising:
 a sole assembly comprising two frame members located one above the other, and articulated with respect to each other,   a shoe upper, and   means for securing the shoe upper onto the sole assembly.   
     
     
         13 . The shoe according to  claim 12 , wherein the means for securing the shoe upper onto the sole assembly are detachable, preferably manually. 
     
     
         14 . The shoe according to  claim 13 , wherein the means for securing the shoe upper onto the sole assembly comprise screws, preferably quarter-turn screws. 
     
     
         15 . The shoe according to  claim 14 , wherein a plate is fixed to one of two frame members, the plate having holes adapted to receive the screws. 
     
     
         16 . A ready-to-assemble kit comprising:
 a first and a second frame member,   means for articulating the first frame member relative to the second frame member when the two frame members are located one above the other,   means for damping movement of the frame members relative to each other,   a shoe upper, and   means for securing the shoe upper onto one of the first and second frame members.
