Description

L'invention concerne une plaquette interface pour la glissière d'un élément de fixation, notamment mais non exclusivement de fixation alpine.The invention relates to an interface plate for the slide of a fastening element, in particular but not exclusively of alpine fastening.

L'invention concerne également un ensemble constitué par une plaquette interface et la glissière d'un élément de fixation, notamment mais non exclusivement de fixation alpine.The invention also relates to an assembly consisting of an interface plate and the slide of a fixing element, in particular but not exclusively of alpine fixing.

Dans le cas du ski alpin, il est connu qu'une chaussure est retenue sur un ski par un élément de fixation avant et un élément de fixation arrière. Pour assurer l'adaptation du ski à des chaussures de longueur différente, et aussi pour permettre une libre flexion du ski, l'un des éléments de fixation, généralement l'élément arrière, est mobile longitudinalement le long d'une glissière.In the case of alpine skiing, it is known that a boot is retained on a ski by a front binding element and a rear binding element. To ensure the adaptation of the ski to boots of different length, and also to allow free flexing of the ski, one of the binding elements, generally the rear element, is movable longitudinally along a slide.

Certaines fixations, en particulier les fixations de location, présentent également un élément de fixation avant mobile le long d'une glissière solidarisée au ski. L'élément de fixation avant peut être placé dans des positions longitudinales différentes, ce qui permet l'adaptation à un large éventail de chaussures de longueur différente.Certain bindings, in particular rental bindings, also have a movable front binding element along a slide secured to the ski. The front binding element can be placed in different longitudinal positions, allowing adaptation to a wide range of shoes of different length.

Les glissières qui permettent le déplacement longitudinal d'un élément de fixation comprennent une partie fixe ou embase solidaire du ski, et une partie mobile qui peut être, selon les cas, une plaque de base sur laquelle l'embase de l'élément de fixation est assemblée, ou alors l'embase de l'élément de fixation, qui présente alors des patins pour assurer le guidage du corps de la fixation le long de l'embase.The slides which allow the longitudinal movement of a fastening element comprise a fixed part or base secured to the ski, and a mobile part which can be, as the case may be, a base plate on which the base of the fastening element is assembled, or else the base of the fixing element, which then has pads for guiding the body of the fixing along the base.

Etant donné que la glissière comprend un élément mobile relativement à un élément fixe, il se pose le problème de l'ajustement mécanique de ces deux éléments. Si le montage est trop serré, le déplacement de l'élément mobile le long de l'embase est difficile, ce qui gêne le réglage de la position longitudinale des éléments de fixation. En effet, le technicien qui assure ce réglage devra fournir un effort important pour déplacer l'élément de fixation. En outre, ce déplacement aura tendance à se faire par à-coups, et nécessitera plusieurs va-et-vient successifs pour placer l'élément de fixation dans sa position correcte. De tels réglages sont relativement fréquents pour les skis de location, et l'on comprend facilement qu'une fixation avec un tel ajustement serré ne sera pas appréciée par les utilisateurs. Un ajustement trop serré peut également gêner la flexion du ski lorsqu'il se localise entre l'élément de fixation arrière et sa glissière.Since the slide comprises a movable element relative to a fixed element, the problem arises of the mechanical adjustment of these two elements. If the mounting is too tight, the movement of the movable element along the base is difficult, which hinders the adjustment of the longitudinal position of the fastening elements. Indeed, the technician who makes this adjustment will have to make a significant effort to move the fastening element. In addition, this movement will tend to be done in spurts, and will require several successive back-and-forth movements to place the fastening element in its correct position. Such adjustments are relatively frequent for rental skis, and it is easily understood that a binding with such a tight fit will not be appreciated by users. A too tight fit can also hinder the flexing of the ski when it is located between the rear binding element and its slide.

Si par contre, on laisse trop de jeu entre les deux éléments de la glissière, en l'absence de chaussure, l'élément mobile peut brimbaler par rapport à la partie fixe. Un tel mouvement provoque une usure prématurée de la glissière, et à long terme une dégradation du fonctionnement de l'élément de fixation. En outre, il faut reconnaître qu'un tel mouvement n'est pas agréable pour l'utilisateur, et qu'il nuit à une conduite précise du ski.If, on the other hand, too much play is left between the two elements of the slide, in the absence of a shoe, the movable element can wobble relative to the fixed part. Such a movement causes premature wear of the slide, and in the long term a degradation of the operation of the fastening element. In addition, it must be recognized that such a movement is not pleasant for the user, and that it hinders precise driving of the ski.

Pour remédier à cet inconvénient, la demande de brevet français publiée sous le n° 2 646 093 propose d'intercaler, entre les deux éléments mobiles de la glissière, une couche de matériau élastiquement déformable et compressible. Un tel dispositif est toutefois délicat à mettre en oeuvre.To remedy this drawback, the French patent application published under No. 2,646,093 proposes to interpose, between the two movable elements of the slide, a layer of elastically deformable and compressible material. Such a device is however difficult to implement.

Sur un autre plan, on peut rappeler que certains éléments de fixation sont équipés d'une plaquette interface, qui est située sous l'élément de fixation. Le rôle principal de cette plaquette est de pincer la partie filetée des vis d'assemblage, pour maintenir ces vis dans leur orifice prêtes à être vissées, jusqu'à l'opération d'assemblage de l'élément de fixation sur le ski. Une telle plaquette est par exemple décrite dans la demande de brevet japonais déposée sous le n° 51-138 254, et publiée sous le n° 53-65 130. Toutefois, le rôle de la plaquette se limite à un maintien des vis, et la plaquette n'a aucune autre fonction.On another level, it may be recalled that certain fastening elements are equipped with an interface plate, which is located under the fastening element. The main role of this plate is to pinch the threaded part of the assembly screws, to keep these screws in their orifice ready to be screwed, until the assembly operation of the binding element on the ski. Such a plate is for example described in the Japanese patent application filed under No. 51-138 254, and published under No. 53-65 130. However, the role of the plate is limited to holding the screws, and the board has no other function.

Un des buts de la présente invention est de réaliser un rattrapage de jeu entre les deux éléments mobiles de la glissière pour une fixation équipée d'une plaquette interface, non pas par un élément rapporté, mais par l'intermédiaire de la plaquette interface elle-même.One of the aims of the present invention is to make up a play between the two movable elements of the slide for a fixing equipped with an interface plate, not by an added element, but by means of the interface plate itself. even.

Un autre but de la présente invention est de proposer une plaquette interface qui en plus améliore l'étanchéité à la neige et aux salissures entre les deux éléments mobiles de la glissière.Another object of the present invention is to provide an interface plate which in addition improves the seal against snow and dirt between the two movable elements of the slide.

Un autre but de la présente invention est de proposer une plaquette interface qui soit simple à réaliser.Another object of the present invention is to propose an interface plate which is simple to produce.

D'autres buts et avantages de la présente invention apparaîtront au cours de la description qui va suivre, cette description étant toutefois donnée à titre indicatif, et non limitatif.Other objects and advantages of the present invention will appear during the description which follows, this description being however given by way of indication, and not limitation.

La plaquette interface selon l'invention est destinée à équiper la glissière d'un élément de fixation. Cette glissière comprend une embase fixe en forme de "Ω renversé" avec une partie centrale reliée solidairement au ski, deux ailes latérales surélevées par rapport à la surface supérieure du ski et s'étendant parallèlement à l'axe longitudinal du ski. La glissière comprend par ailleurs une plaque de base mobile qui présente une partie centrale et latéralement deux retours formant deux rainures symétriques en forme de "C" dont les ouvertures se font face, et à l'intérieur desquelles les ailes latérales de l'embase sont engagées. La plaquette interface est intercalée entre l'embase et la surface supérieure du ski et elle présente une zone centrale de largeur sensiblement égale à la largeur de la plaque de base de la glissière.The interface plate according to the invention is intended to equip the slide with a fixing element. This slide comprises a fixed base in the form of an "inverted Ω" with a central part connected integrally to the ski, two lateral wings raised relative to the upper surface of the ski and extending parallel to the longitudinal axis of the ski. The slide further comprises a movable base plate which has a central part and laterally two returns forming two symmetrical grooves in the shape of a "C" whose openings face each other, and inside which the lateral wings of the base are engaged. The interface plate is interposed between the base and the upper surface of the ski and it has a central zone of width substantially equal to the width of the base plate of the slide.

La plaquette est caractérisée par le fait que la zone centrale de la plaquette est bordée latéralement par deux rebords parallèles qui présentent chacun vers l'extérieur une face verticale constituant une surface de guidage et de frottement contre laquelle les bords inférieurs des retours de la plaque de base mobile viennent prendre appui et frotter lors des mouvements de translation de la plaque de base.The plate is characterized by the fact that the central zone of the plate is bordered laterally by two parallel edges which each have towards the outside a vertical face constituting a guide and friction surface against which the lower edges of the returns of the plate mobile base come to bear and rub during translational movements of the base plate.

L'ensemble constitué par une plaquette interface et la glissière d'un élément de fixation est caractérisé par le fait que la zone centrale de la plaquette est bordée latéralement par deux rebords parallèles qui présentent chacun vers l'extérieur une face verticale constituant une surface de guidage et de frottement contre laquelle les bords inférieurs des retours de la plaque de base mobile viennent prendre appui et frotter lors des mouvements de translation de la plaque de base, et que la distance entre lesdits bords inférieurs est égale ou sensiblement inférieure à la distance entre les faces verticales des rebords de la plaquette interface, alors que la distance entre les faces verticales en fond de rainure est supérieure à la distance entre les faces verticales d'extrémité latérale des ailes.The assembly constituted by an interface plate and the slide of a fastening element is characterized in that the central zone of the plate is bordered laterally by two parallel flanges which each present towards the outside a vertical face constituting a surface of guidance and friction against which the lower edges of the returns of the movable base plate come to bear and rub during the translational movements of the base plate, and that the distance between said lower edges is equal to or substantially less than the distance between the vertical faces of the edges of the interface plate, while the distance between the vertical faces at the bottom of the groove is greater than the distance between the vertical faces of the lateral end of the wings.

L'invention sera mieux comprise en se référant à la description ci-dessous, ainsi qu'aux dessins en annexe qui en font partie intégrante.The invention will be better understood by referring to the description below, as well as to the accompanying drawings which form an integral part thereof.

Pour illustrer l'invention, on a représenté dans la figure 1, un ski 1 sur lequel est assemblé une glissière 2. La glissière 2 comprend principalement une embase fixe 3, qui est solidarisée à la surface supérieure du ski, et une plaque de base mobile 4, qui peut coulisser le long de l'embase 3 parallèlement à la direction longitudinale définie par le ski.To illustrate the invention, there is shown in Figure 1, a ski 1 on which is assembled a slide 2. The slide 2 mainly comprises a fixed base 3, which is secured to the upper surface of the ski, and a base plate mobile 4, which can slide along the base 3 parallel to the longitudinal direction defined by the ski.

La plaque de base 4 est destinée à recevoir un accessoire de ski, tel qu'un élément de fixation avant ou arrière, ou un frein, ou tout autre accessoire, dont la position longitudinale le long du ski est variable. Egalement, il peut être prévu des moyens pour immobiliser la plaque de base mobile 4 par rapport à l'embase 3 dans des positions longitudinales définies. Si ces moyens sont nécessaires, il seront d'un type connu, et ils ne nécessitent pas de description particulière.The base plate 4 is intended to receive a ski accessory, such as a front or rear binding element, or a brake, or any other accessory, the longitudinal position of which is along the ski is variable. Also, means may be provided for immobilizing the movable base plate 4 relative to the base 3 in defined longitudinal positions. If these means are necessary, they will be of a known type, and they do not require any particular description.

L'embase 3 s'étend le long de la direction longitudinale définie par le ski. Elle présente une longueur qui est approximativement égale à la longueur de la plaque de base 4 augmentée de l'amplitude de son déplacement.The base 3 extends along the longitudinal direction defined by the ski. It has a length which is approximately equal to the length of the base plate 4 increased by the amplitude of its displacement.

L'embase 3 présente une partie centrale 5 qui est assemblée à la surface supérieure du ski par tout moyen approprié, et par exemple par des vis. Une vis a été schématisée en 6.The base 3 has a central part 5 which is assembled to the upper surface of the ski by any suitable means, and for example by screws. A screw has been shown diagrammatically in 6.

De chaque côté de la partie centrale 5, l'embase 3 présente deux ailes 7 et 8, qui sont surélevées par rapport à la surface supérieure du ski, et qui s'étendent parallèlement à la direction longitudinale définie par le ski. Les ailes latérales 7 et 8 présentent respectivement une surface supérieure sensiblement horizontale 7a, 8a, une surface inférieure sensiblement horizontale 7b, 8b, et une surface latérale 7c, 8c, orientée vers l'extérieur. C'est sur ces différentes faces horizontales 7a, 7b, 8a, 8b que la plaque de base mobile 4 se guide verticalement, c'est-à-dire que ces faces empêchent un mouvement de la plaque de base 4 vers le haut ou vers le bas.On each side of the central part 5, the base 3 has two wings 7 and 8, which are raised relative to the upper surface of the ski, and which extend parallel to the longitudinal direction defined by the ski. The lateral wings 7 and 8 respectively have a substantially horizontal upper surface 7a, 8a, a substantially horizontal lower surface 7b, 8b, and a lateral surface 7c, 8c, oriented towards the outside. It is on these different horizontal faces 7a, 7b, 8a, 8b that the movable base plate 4 is guided vertically, that is to say that these faces prevent movement of the base plate 4 upwards or towards the bottom.

Les ailes sont reliées à la partie centrale 5 par deux bandes 9 et 10 qui, dans l'exemple illustré, sont orientées de façon oblique, l'ensemble ayant en coupe une forme approximative de "Ω renversé".The wings are connected to the central part 5 by two bands 9 and 10 which, in the example illustrated, are oriented obliquely, the assembly having in section an approximate shape of "inverted Ω".

L'embase 3 est réalisée en tout matériau approprié, et par exemple, il peut s'agir d'une feuille de métal mise en forme par emboutissage.The base 3 is made of any suitable material, and for example, it may be a metal sheet formed by stamping.

La plaque de base mobile 4 présente également une partie centrale 12 sur laquelle l'accessoire est assemblé. Si cet accessoire est un élément de fixation, il se peut que cette plaque de base mobile 4 fasse partie du corps de l'élément de fixation, c'est-à-dire qu'elle constitue un ensemble monobloc avec le corps dont elle forme la partie inférieure.The movable base plate 4 also has a central part 12 on which the accessory is assembled. If this accessory is a fixing element, it is possible that this movable base plate 4 is part of the body of the fixing element, that is to say that it constitutes a monobloc assembly with the body of which it forms. the bottom part.

De chaque côté de la partie centrale 12, la plaque mobile 4 présente deux retours symétriques 13 et 14, en forme de "C", dont les ouvertures se font face. Ces retours 13 et 14 définissent des rainures à l'intérieur desquelles sont engagées les ailes 7 et 8 de l'embase 3. Les rainures ainsi définies présentent une face supérieure sensiblement horizontale 13a, 14a, une face inférieure sensiblement horizontale 13b, 14b, et une face latérale 13c, 14c.On each side of the central part 12, the movable plate 4 has two symmetrical returns 13 and 14, in the shape of a "C", the openings of which face each other. These returns 13 and 14 define grooves inside which the wings 7 and 8 of the base 3 are engaged. The grooves thus defined have a substantially horizontal upper face 13a, 14a, a substantially horizontal lower face 13b, 14b, and a lateral face 13c, 14c.

En outre, la partie inférieure de chaque retour présente une face verticale 15, 16, orientée vers l'intérieur, dont le rôle sera décrit ultérieurement. Les faces 15 et 16 sont en regard l'une de l'autre.In addition, the lower part of each return has a vertical face 15, 16, facing inwards, the role of which will be described later. The faces 15 and 16 are opposite one another.

La plaque de base est réalisée en tout matériau approprié, par exemple en métal ou en une matière plastique éventuellement armée ou chargée de fibres.The base plate is made of any suitable material, for example metal or a plastic material possibly reinforced or loaded with fibers.

Une plaquette interface 20 se trouve intercalée entre l'embase 3 et la surface supérieure du ski. La plaquette présente une longueur sensiblement égale à la longueur de l'embase, et elle présente par ailleurs une zone centrale 21, dont la largueur est sensiblement égale à la partie centrale 5 de l'embase. Avantageusement, cette zone centrale 21 présente, au niveau des vis d'assemblage, des moyens tels que des dents élastiques situées dans un plan horizontal, qui viennent pincer la partie filetée des vis afin de les maintenir dans leur orifice de l'embase 3 jusqu'à l'assemblage de l'embase à la surface supérieure du ski. De telles dents ont été schématisées en 22 dans la figure 1.An interface plate 20 is interposed between the base 3 and the upper surface of the ski. The plate has a length substantially equal to the length of the base, and it also has a central zone 21, the width of which is substantially equal to the central part 5 of the base. Advantageously, this central zone 21 has, at the level of the assembly screws, means such as elastic teeth situated in a horizontal plane, which pinch the threaded part of the screws in order to maintain them in their orifice of the base 3 until 'to the assembly of the base to the upper surface of the ski. Such teeth have been shown diagrammatically at 22 in FIG. 1.

La zone centrale 21 de la plaque de base 20 est bordée latéralement par deux rebords parallèles 23 et 24, qui s'étendent vers l'extérieur par rapport à la partie centrale 5 de l'embase 3. Dans l'exemple illustré, vus de dessus, les rebords 23 et 24 s'étendent sous les bandes de liaison 9 et 10, et sous une partie des ailes 7 et 8 de l'embase 3.The central zone 21 of the base plate 20 is bordered laterally by two parallel flanges 23 and 24, which extend outwards relative to the central part 5 of the base 3. In the example illustrated, seen from above, the flanges 23 and 24 extend under the connecting strips 9 and 10, and under a portion of the wings 7 and 8 of the base 3.

De préférence, les rebords épousent l'inclinaison des bandes de liaison 9 et 10. Chacun des rebords 23 et 24 présente, en outre, vers l'extérieur une face verticale 25, 26 parallèle à la direction longitudinale définie par le ski.Preferably, the flanges follow the inclination of the connecting strips 9 and 10. Each of the flanges 23 and 24 has, in addition, outwards a vertical face 25, 26 parallel to the longitudinal direction defined by the ski.

C'est sur ces faces verticales 25 et 26 que les faces inférieures 15 et 16 des deux retours 13 et 14 viennent prendre appui et frotter lors des mouvements longitudinaux de la plaque de base 4. C'est donc à ce niveau que sont réalisés l'ajustement et le rattrapage de jeu entre la plaque de base 4 et l'embase 3. Ainsi que cela est visible dans les figures, un léger jeu existe, par ailleurs, à l'intérieur des retours 13 et 14, entre les faces latérales en regard 13c et 7c, 14c et 8c de l'embase et de la plaque de base. Il existe également un léger jeu selon une direction verticale à ce niveau, ce jeu vertical n'est toutefois pas très nuisible pour la précision de conduite du ski.It is on these vertical faces 25 and 26 that the lower faces 15 and 16 of the two returns 13 and 14 come to bear and rub during the longitudinal movements of the base plate 4. It is therefore at this level that the 'adjustment and backlash between the base plate 4 and the base 3. As can be seen in the figures, a slight clearance exists, moreover, inside the returns 13 and 14, between the side faces opposite 13c and 7c, 14c and 8c of the base and the base plate. There is also a slight play in a vertical direction at this level, this vertical play is not however very harmful for the precision of driving of the ski.

Pour assurer le rattrapage de jeu selon une direction transversale, la distance entre les deux faces verticales 25 et 26 de la plaquette interface est égale ou très légèrement supérieure à la distance entre les faces verticales 15 et 16 de la partie inférieure des retours 13 et 14.To ensure backlash in a transverse direction, the distance between the two vertical faces 25 and 26 of the interface plate is equal to or very slightly greater than the distance between the vertical faces 15 and 16 of the lower part of the returns 13 and 14 .

La figure 3 illustre un mode préférentiel de réalisation de la plaquette interface, selon lequel les faces verticales 25 et 26 présentent localement des renflements 27 à 32 orientés vers l'extérieur. Ils sont réalisés par une accumulation de matière, et avantageusement, au niveau de ces renflements, la zone centrale 21 de la plaquette 20 présente des ajours oblongs 33 à 38 qui s'étendent le long des rebords 25 et 26. De cette façon, au niveau des renflements 27 à 32, les rebords 25 et 26 peuvent se déformer localement et élastiquement vers l'intérieur. Ces renflements 27 à 32, avec les ajours 33 à 38 assurent un rattrapage de jeu automatique et élastique entre l'embase et la plaque de base.FIG. 3 illustrates a preferred embodiment of the interface plate, according to which the vertical faces 25 and 26 have locally bulges 27 to 32 oriented towards the outside. They are produced by an accumulation of material, and advantageously, at the level of these bulges, the central zone 21 of the plate 20 has oblong openings 33 to 38 which extend along the edges 25 and 26. In this way, at level of bulges 27 to 32, edges 25 and 26 can be deform locally and elastically inward. These bulges 27 to 32, with the openings 33 to 38 ensure an automatic and elastic backlash between the base and the base plate.

On peut ajouter que l'ajustement réalisé entre les faces verticales de la plaquette interface 20 et les parties inférieures des retours 13 et 14 permettent d'améliorer l'étanchéité, en réduisant le risque d'infiltration de neige ou de salissure entre les deux éléments de la glissière.It can be added that the adjustment made between the vertical faces of the interface plate 20 and the lower parts of the returns 13 and 14 makes it possible to improve the seal, reducing the risk of snow infiltration or soiling between the two elements. of the slide.

Cette étanchéité est encore améliorée par les parois verticales 41 et 42 que la plaquette présente à l'avant et à l'arrière, les parois épousant en effet la forme intérieure de la plaque de base mobile 4. En se référant à la figure 2, il est visible que la paroi 42 obture l'espace compris entre l'embase 3 et la plaque de base 4. Il en est de même pour la paroi 41. Le volume délimité par l'embase 3 et la plaque de base 4 est ainsi protégé des salissures.This tightness is further improved by the vertical walls 41 and 42 that the plate has at the front and at the rear, the walls in fact matching the internal shape of the movable base plate 4. With reference to FIG. 2, it is visible that the wall 42 closes the space between the base 3 and the base plate 4. It is the same for the wall 41. The volume delimited by the base 3 and the base plate 4 is thus protected from dirt.

La plaquette interface 20 est réalisée en tout matériau approprié. Avantageusement, elle peut être réalisée en une matière synthétique injectable ou formable qui présente de préférence un bon coefficient de frottement. On a obtenu de bon résultats avec une plaquette réalisée en polyéthylène, ou un matériau commercialisé sous le nom "DELRIN".The interface plate 20 is made of any suitable material. Advantageously, it can be made of an injectable or formable synthetic material which preferably has a good coefficient of friction. Good results have been obtained with a wafer made of polyethylene, or a material sold under the name "DELRIN".

La figure 5 illustre une variante de réalisation selon laquelle la plaquette interface assure en plus une fonction d'absorption des frottements, et de rattrapage de jeu selon une direction verticale. En se référant à cette figure, la partie supérieure des rebords 43, 44 de la plaquette 40 est prolongée vers l'extérieur par deux lèvres 48 et 49 qui s'étendent parallèlement dans un plan sensiblement horizontal. Ainsi que cela est visible dans la figure 6, les lèvres sont destinées à être engagées à l'intérieur de l'ouverture d'un retour, entre les faces horizontales inférieures du retour de l'aile. L'épaisseur des lèvres est sensiblement égale à l'amplitude du jeu qui existe à ce niveau.FIG. 5 illustrates an alternative embodiment according to which the interface plate additionally performs a function of absorbing friction, and of taking up play in a vertical direction. Referring to this figure, the upper part of the flanges 43, 44 of the plate 40 is extended outwards by two lips 48 and 49 which extend parallel in a substantially horizontal plane. As can be seen in FIG. 6, the lips are intended to be engaged inside the opening of a return, between the lower horizontal faces of the return of the wing. The thickness of the lips is substantially equal to the amplitude of the play which exists at this level.

Selon un mode préférentiel de réalisation, les lèvres 48 et 49 présentent localement des ondulations orientées selon une direction verticale. Des ondulations 50 et 51 sont visibles dans la figure 5. Ces déformations locales sont élastiquement déformables selon une direction verticale, et elles sont donc capables d'assurer un rattrapage de jeu automatique entre la plaque de base 4 et la glissière 3.According to a preferred embodiment, the lips 48 and 49 locally have undulations oriented in a vertical direction. Corrugations 50 and 51 are visible in FIG. 5. These local deformations are elastically deformable in a vertical direction, and they are therefore capable of ensuring automatic backlash between the base plate 4 and the slide 3.

La figure 7 illustre une autre variante de réalisation et représente partiellement une plaquette 60 avec un rebord 63 équipée d'une lèvre horizontale 68 de rattrapage de jeu vertical.FIG. 7 illustrates another alternative embodiment and partially represents a plate 60 with a flange 63 fitted with a horizontal lip 68 for taking up vertical play.

Dans ce cas, la lèvre est située dans la partie inférieure de chaque rebord 63, et c'est la surface de dessous des deux retours 13 et 14 qui vient porter et frotter sur les lèvres selon une direction verticale vers le bas. Comme dans le cas précédent, les lèvres 68 assurent un rattrapage de jeu vertical. Elles peuvent aussi présenter des ondulations pour réaliser un rattrapage de jeu élastique.In this case, the lip is located in the lower part of each rim 63, and it is the bottom surface of the two returns 13 and 14 which comes to bear and rub on the lips in a vertical downward direction. As in the previous case, the lips 68 ensure a vertical play take-up. They may also have corrugations to make up for elastic backlash.

Naturellement, la présente invention n'est pas limitée aux différents modes d'exécution qui viennent d'être décrits, et de nombreuses variantes sont possibles. En particulier, l'invention peut trouver des applications dans d'autres domaines que le ski alpin, et notamment le ski de fond, le surf, le monoski. En outre, comme cela a été dit précédemment, la plaque de base 4 peut être aménagée pour recevoir l'accessoire, ou bien elle peut faire partie intégrante de cet accessoire. Enfin, des moyens peuvent être ajoutés pour immobiliser la plaque de base par rapport à l'embase dans des positions longitudinales définies.Naturally, the present invention is not limited to the various embodiments which have just been described, and numerous variants are possible. In particular, the invention can find applications in fields other than alpine skiing, and in particular cross-country skiing, surfing, monoskiing. In addition, as has been said previously, the base plate 4 can be arranged to receive the accessory, or it can be an integral part of this accessory. Finally, means can be added to immobilize the base plate relative to the base in defined longitudinal positions.
