These asperities (233) in the shape of a half-moon are open towards the mouth of the duct (153) and solid towards the closed part of the duct (353). When the conduit (3) is introduced into the hole (2), the latter slides easily to its bottom.

The protrusions (233) then block the conduit (3) in the hole (2) and prevent its removal so that the conduit (3) is made integral with the sole (2) permanently.

According to the embodiment illustrated in Figure 12, the retention of the conduit (3) in the hole (2) of the sole (1) can advantageously be further reinforced with glue. The duct (3) can be fixed, for example to the sole (1) by another adhesive fixing means, cement, by welding or by other fusion techniques.

According to another preferred embodiment of the invention illustrated in FIGS. 13 to 15, the external face of the conduit comprises barbs (fins) (333) to form a means for anchoring the conduit (3) in the hole (112,212) of the sole (1) and allow the conduit (3) to be fixed to the sole (1) to secure them definitively. These barbs (333) are adapted to prevent the conduit (3) from being removed from the hole (2) after being inserted therein.

As can be seen in Figure 14, the inner wall (102) of the hole (2) in the sole can be smooth and only the outer part of the conduit 3 contains barbs (333).

As can be seen in FIG. 15, according to another embodiment, the internal wall (202) of the hole (2) contains the same barbs (202) which cooperate with barbs (333) on the external part of the conduit (3) to anchor and fix the conduit (3) to the sole (1) and secure them definitively.

According to the embodiments illustrated in Figures 14-16, The retention in the hole (2) of the sole (1) can advantageously be further reinforced with glue.

According to another preferred embodiment of the invention illustrated in FIG. 16, the conduit (3) comprises at the end situated near the bottom of the hole (232), a

-15 flexible system of several pointed elements (433), preferably four elements (433). During the introduction of the conduit into the hole (2), the pointed elements (433) which are flexible can fold down towards the inside of the conduit (3) in order to facilitate its insertion into the hole (2). By then inserting a cylinder (not shown) in the conduit (3), during the manufacture of the shoe, the various pointed elements (433) move outward and come to freeze in the sole (1) to remain blocked there and thus fix the conduit (3) to the sole (1) and secure them definitively.

According to the embodiment illustrated in Figure 16, the retention in the hole (2) of the sole (1) can advantageously be further reinforced with glue.

The means for anchoring the conduit (3) of the illustrated embodiments can be combined with one another.

According to another preferred embodiment of the invention illustrated in FIG. 17, the duct is smooth (133) and is fixed in the hole (2) of the sole (1) by means of glue. The conduit (3) and the sole (1) are permanently secured only by glue.

Description and fixing of the cover on the duct:

FIGS. 18 to 27 illustrate the cover (4) hermetically closing the opening of the duct (3) to allow a robust fixing between the cover (4) and the duct (3) and to make the housing watertight.

Preferably, the cover (4) comprises a first fixing part and the duct (3) comprises a second fixing part, the first and second fixing parts being arranged to cooperate together. This makes it possible to obtain a robust and tight fixing between the cover (4) and the conduit (3).

-16In a preferred embodiment of the invention illustrated in FIG. 18, the cover (4) comprises flexible toric lamellae (114) on the external face adapted to cooperate with a conduit (3) whose inner face of conduit (3) is smooth (143).

The cover (4) comprises flexible toric strips (114) on the external face. By inserting the cover (4) into the duct (3) until it comes into contact with the mouth of the duct (153) and the base of the cover (Î04), the strips (114) can bend slightly, thus creating a resistance which makes extraction of the cover (4) difficult for a child while ensuring the tightness of the housing.

To remove the cover (4), it suffices for the person to pull it strongly thanks to a grip (414) located on the base of the cover (104).

In a preferred embodiment of the invention illustrated in FIG. 21, the cover (4) is produced from a lever closure system (134) adapted to cooperate with a conduit (3) whose inner face of the conduit is smooth (143).

This system (134) comprises a pin (1134) connected between a patch (2134), at the lower base (3134), and a lever (4134), at the head of the bar (5134). Between these two parts are positioned an O-ring (6134) in rubber and a blocking part (7134) in contact with the mouth of the conduit (153). When the closure system (134) is in contact with the mouth of the conduit (153) and therefore that the body of the part (8134) is introduced into the conduit (3), by pivoting the lever (4134) by 90 degrees relative to the conduit (3), the patch (2134) approaches the locking piece (7134) and thus compresses the rubber O-ring (6134). The diameter of the latter increases and thus tightly blocks the lever closure system (134) in the conduit (3).

In a preferred embodiment of the invention illustrated in FIGS. 19, 20, 22, the cover (4) comprises a first thread on the external face (214) and the conduit (3) comprises a second thread on the internal face around the opening (243), so as to correspond to the first screw pitch when the cover (4) closes the mouth of the duct (153).

-17The first thread (214) is screwed into the second thread (243) when the cover (4) is screwed on the opening (243) and this screwing allows to obtain a tight fixing, easy to open for an adult, but relatively difficult for a child. Preferably, the cover (4) comprises means (164) for rotating the cover (4) relative to the sole (1). This makes screwing and unscrewing easier. The means (164) for rotating the cover relative to the sole includes a slot (164) for inserting a coin or a screwdriver.

In a preferred embodiment of the invention illustrated in FIG. 23, the attachment comprises a bayonet closure system (144). The end of the conduit (3) contains grooves (443). The cover has two tabs (1144). By coupling the conduit (3) and the cover (4) with bayonet closing system (144), the two tabs (1144) are in contact with the grooves (443). By pivoting the cover, the two tabs (1144) are blocked in the grooves (443) to allow a robust fixing between the cover (4) and the conduit (3) and to make the case waterproof.

Preferably, the cover (4) according to the embodiment illustrated in FIG. 23 comprises means for rotating the cover (4) relative to the sole (1). This makes screwing and unscrewing easier. The means for rotating the cover relative to the sole includes a slot for inserting a coin or a screwdriver (164).

In a preferred embodiment of the invention illustrated in FIGS. 24 and 25, the cover (4) comprises a flange (204) with a first internal thread (314) and the conduit (213) comprises a second screw disposed around the opening on the external face (343), so as to correspond to the first screw pitch when the cover (4) closes the mouth of the duct (153), with the duct slightly longer than the hole in the sole and projecting slightly outside the sole (213).

This screwing makes it possible to obtain a robust and waterproof fixing, easy to open for an adult, but relatively difficult for a child.

Preferably, the cover (4) according to the embodiment illustrated in FIG. 25 comprises a means for rotating the cover (4) relative to the sole (1). This makes screwing and unscrewing easier. The means for rotating the cover relative to the sole includes a slot (164) for inserting a coin or a screwdriver.

In a preferred embodiment of the invention illustrated in Figures 26-28, the conduit (3) is fully inserted into the sole (113). At the mouth of the conduit (153) the diameter of the hole (132) of the sole is slightly greater than the outside diameter (253) of the hole of the conduit in order to allow the passage of the cover (4) during screwing.

The cover (4) comprises a flange (204) with a first screw pitch on the inside of the cover (314) and the duct (113) comprises a second screw pitch arranged around the opening on the outside (343), so as to correspond to the first thread when the cover closes the mouth of the conduit (153).

This screwing makes it possible to obtain a robust and waterproof fixing, easy to open for an adult, but relatively difficult for a child.

Preferably, the cover (4) according to the embodiment illustrated in FIG. 27 comprises means (164) for rotating the cover (4) relative to the sole (1). This makes screwing and unscrewing easier. The means (164) for rotating the cover relative to the sole includes a slot for inserting a coin or a screwdriver.

The base of the cover (104) which contains the slot advantageously has a diameter of 3 mm greater than that of the body of the cover.

When the cover (4) is screwed onto the duct (3), the base of the cover (104) is in contact with the sole (1) and thus prevents any dirt or liquid from entering between the sole (1 ) and the conduit (3).
