Description

La présente invention a pour objet un ensemble chaussure-fixation et un dispositif de fixation d'une chaussure à un organe de glisse tel que ski de fond destiné plus particulièrement à la pratique du pas de patineur, mais également patin à glace, à roulettes, à roues en ligne, ou autre organe permettant la pratique d'un sport de glisse de type patinage.The subject of the present invention is a shoe-binding assembly and a device fastening a shoe to a sliding member such as cross-country ski intended more specifically for the practice of skating, but also ice skate, roller, in-line wheel, or other device for practicing a skating-type sliding sport.

Elle concerne plus spécifiquement un dispositif de fixation dans lequel la chaussure est fixée au ski ou à l'organe de glisse sensiblement au niveau de la zone d'articulation métatarso phalangienne ou en avant de celle-ci.It relates more specifically to a fixing device in which the boot is fixed to the ski or to the sliding member substantially at the level of the metatarsophalangeal joint zone or in front of it.

Par le FR 2 642 980, il est connu un dispositif de fixation polyvalent pour ski constitué d'une poutre articulée sur le ski, sur laquelle est ancrée la chaussure depuis l'extrémité avant de celle-ci jusque dans une zone située en avant de l'axe d'articulation métatarso phalangienne. Un tel dispositif assure, par l'intermédiaire de la poutre, une liaison articulée, mais rigide en direction transversale, de la chaussure au ski, plus particulièrement adaptée à la pratique du ski de randonnée dit nordique.By FR 2 642 980, a versatile binding device for skiing is known. consisting of a beam articulated on the ski, on which the boot is anchored from the front end of the latter to an area located in front of the axis metatarsophalangeal joint. Such a device ensures, through of the beam, an articulated connection, but rigid in transverse direction, of the ski boot, more particularly adapted to the practice of ski touring says Nordic.

Par ailleurs, il est prévu dans ce même brevet de solidariser la poutre au ski et de ne permettre la rotation de la chaussure qu'autour d'un seul axe de rotation situé à l'avant de la chaussure, dans le but de la pratique du ski de fond proprement dit, que ce soit en technique dite classique ou skating. Un tel dispositif de fixation polyvalent s'avère malheureusement de construction trop compliquée, lourde et coûteuse. Il n'est pas non plus très adapté à la pratique du skating.Furthermore, it is provided in this same patent to secure the beam to the ski and to allow the shoe to rotate only around a single axis of rotation located at the front of the boot, for the purpose of cross-country skiing proper, whether in the so-called classic or skating technique. Such a fixing device versatile unfortunately turns out to be too complicated, heavy and expensive. It is also not very suitable for skating.

Il a été également proposé, pour la pratique du pas de patineur en ski de fond ou skating, des dispositifs de fixation spéciaux maintenant toute la zone avant de la chaussure jusqu'à l'axe d'articulation métatarso-phalangienne.It has also been proposed, for the practice of skating steps in cross-country skiing or skating, special fasteners holding the entire front area of the shoe up to the metatarsophalangeal axis of articulation.

Un tel dispositif de fixation est par exemple décrit dans le FR 2 595 952 au nom de la demanderesse. Un tel système de fixation avec prise de la chaussure sur le ski sur toute sa zone avant jusqu'au niveau de l'axe d'articulation métatarso-phalangienne apporte un meilleur guidage du ski et une meilleure stabilité, une précision accrue, ainsi qu'un bon contact ski/chaussure et donc un bon touché de neige.Such a fixing device is for example described in FR 2,595,952 in the name of the plaintiff. Such a fastening system with grip of the shoe on the ski over its entire front area up to the level of the metatarsophalangeal axis of articulation provides better ski guidance and better stability, increased precision, as well as good ski / boot contact and therefore a good touch of snow.

L'inconvénient d'un tel dispositif de fixation est le problème de sécurité en cas de chute.The disadvantage of such a fastening device is the safety problem in the event of fall.

En effet, le pied du skieur étant maintenu jusqu'au niveau des métatarses, une chute peut provoquer des efforts très importants sur la partie du pied maintenue et donner lieu notamment à des fractures des orteils. Le même problème se pose dans les autres sports de glisse de type patinage.Indeed, the skier's foot being maintained up to the level of the metatarsals, a falling can cause very large forces on the part of the foot held and give rise in particular to fractures of the toes. The same problem arises in other sliding sports such as skating.

Le but de la présente invention est donc de fournir un dispositif et ensemble chaussure-fixation amélioré de fixation d'une chaussure à un organe de glisse de type skating patinage et apportant une sécurité accrue, tout en étant de conception simple, légère et adaptée à la pratique du sport de glisse.The object of the present invention is therefore to provide a device and improved shoe-binding assembly from a shoe to a skating type skating and providing increased security, while being simple, lightweight and suitable for practicing board sports.

Ce but est atteint dans l'ensemble chaussure-fixation selon l'invention pour la fixation de la partie avant d'une chaussure à un organe de sport de glisse de type patinage, la partie arrière de la chaussure restant libre, constitué d'une embase, d'une chaussure munie de moyens de verrouillage complémentaires de moyens de verrouillage du dispositif de fixation montés non pivotants sur l'embase, les moyens de verrouillage de la chaussure étant disposés sensiblement au niveau de la zone d'articulation métatarso-phalangienne ou en avant de celle-ci, les moyens de verrouillage complémentaires de la chaussure et de la fixation étant conçus de façon à permettre une libération de la chaussure au delà d'un effort prédéterminé s'exerçant sur ces moyens de verrouillage, la chaussure et le dispositif de fixation comportant des moyens de calage complémentaires de l'extrémité avant de la chaussure contre le ski.This object is achieved in the shoe-binding assembly according to the invention for the attachment of the front part of a shoe to a sliding sport member of the type skating, the rear part of the shoe remaining free, consisting of a base, a shoe provided with complementary locking means of means of locking of the fixing device mounted non-pivotally on the base, the means for locking the shoe being arranged substantially at the level of the zone metatarsophalangeal joint or in front of it, the means of additional locking of the boot and the binding being designed to so as to allow a release of the shoe beyond a predetermined effort acting on these locking means, the shoe and the fastening device comprising complementary wedging means of the front end of the shoe against skiing.

Un tel ensemble chaussure-fixation combine donc les avantages d'une prise ou ancrage de la chaussure au niveau des métatarses, à savoir guidage, stabilité et précision accrus tout en permettant une libération ou déclenchement des moyens de verrouillage et donc une sécurité accrue.Such a shoe-binding assembly therefore combines the advantages of a grip or anchoring of the shoe at the metatarsal level, namely guidance, stability and increased precision while allowing a release or triggering of the means locking and therefore increased security.

Selon une forme de réalisation préférée, les moyens de calage sont constitués par des seconds moyens de verrouillage non libérables, coopérant avec des seconds moyens de verrouillage de la chaussure, ces seconds moyens de verrouillage étant disposés au niveau de l'extrémité avant de la chaussure.According to a preferred embodiment, the wedging means are constituted by second non-releasable locking means, cooperating with second shoe locking means, these second means of lock being arranged at the front end of the shoe.

Ce mode de réalisation permet de conserver la sécurité fournie par la possibilité de déclenchement des premiers moyens de verrouillage, tout en offrant la sécurité supplémentaire d'éviter la perte de l'organe de glisse, ce qui :

  • en compétition, permet un gain de temps non négligeable,
  • apporte vis à vis des tiers une sécurité accrue puisqu'on évite ainsi que
l'organe de glisse ne s'échappe dans une pente et aille percuter une tierce personne.This embodiment allows the security provided by the possibility of triggering the first locking means to be preserved, while offering the additional security of avoiding the loss of the sliding member, which:
  • in competition, saves a considerable amount of time,
  • provides vis-à-vis third parties increased security since it avoids and
the sliding member does not escape on a slope and goes to strike a third person.

Il est à noter qu'avec la disposition des seconds moyens de verrouillage dans la zone d'extrémité avant de la chaussure, il est assuré que les orteils ne seront pas comprimés lors d'une chute, du fait du déclenchement des premiers moyens d'ancrage, et qu'une libération suffisante de la chaussure est ainsi obtenue.It should be noted that with the arrangement of the second locking means in the front end area of the shoe, it is ensured that the toes will not tablets during a fall, due to the triggering of the first means anchoring, and that sufficient release of the shoe is thus obtained.

Avantageusement aussi les premiers moyens de verrouillage sont conçus de façon à permettre un verrouillage automatique, ce qui permet un chaussage de la fixation très simple, les seconds moyens de verrouillage, disposés à l'avant de la chaussure étant tout d'abord engagés mutuellement et verrouillés, et les premiers moyens de verrouillage étant ensuite verrouillés automatiquement par simple appui du pied vers le bas.Advantageously also the first locking means are designed to so as to allow automatic locking, which allows the boot to be very simple fixing, the second locking means, arranged at the front of the shoe first being mutually engaged and locked, and the first locking means then being locked automatically by simple press from the foot down.

De préférence, chaque moyen de verrouillage de la chaussure est constitué par un axe transversal et chaque moyen de verrouillage du dispositif de fixation est constitué par une mâchoire mobile coopérant avec une contre mâchoire fixe pour le verrouillage de l'axe associé de la chaussure.Preferably, each means of locking the boot consists of a transverse axis and each locking means of the fixing device is constituted by a movable jaw cooperating with a fixed counter jaw for the locking of the associated axis of the shoe.

Le dispositif de fixation selon l'invention est, quant à lui, défini dans la revendication indépendante 15. The fixing device according to the invention is, in turn, defined in the claim independent 15.

De toute façon, l'invention sera mieux comprise et d'autres caractéristiques de celle-ci seront mises en évidence à l'aide de la description qui suit en référence au dessin schématique annexé dans lequel :

  • la figure 1 est une vue partiellement en coupe d'un ensemble fixation/chaussure selon un premier mode de réalisation,
  • les figures 2 et 3 sont des vues similaires à la figure 1 montrant le dispositif de fixation respectivement en position ouverte et en position de déclenchement,
  • la figure 4 est une vue similaire à la figure 1 d'un ensemble fixation/chaussure selon un second mode de réalisation.
In any case, the invention will be better understood and other characteristics thereof will be highlighted with the aid of the description which follows with reference to the appended schematic drawing in which:
  • FIG. 1 is a partially sectioned view of a binding / shoe assembly according to a first embodiment,
  • FIGS. 2 and 3 are views similar to FIG. 1 showing the fixing device respectively in the open position and in the release position,
  • Figure 4 is a view similar to Figure 1 of a binding / shoe assembly according to a second embodiment.

Les figures 1 à 3 montrent l'utilisation d'un dispositif de fixation avec une chaussure associée 10 comportant deux axes de verrouillage 11, 12, transversaux disposés, l'un 11, sensiblement au niveau de la zone d'articulation métatarso-phalangienne et, l'autre 12, à l'extrémité avant de la chaussure. Selon un mode de réalisation préféré, l'axe de verrouillage 11 est disposé dans une zone située entre 30 et 60 mm à l'arrière de l'extrémité avant 14 de la chaussure.Figures 1 to 3 show the use of a fixing device with a associated shoe 10 comprising two locking axes 11, 12, transverse arranged, one 11, substantially at the level of the metatarsophalangeal articulation zone and, the other 12, at the front end of the shoe. According to a mode of preferred embodiment, the locking pin 11 is arranged in an area between 30 and 60 mm behind the front end 14 of the shoe.

Le dispositif de fixation 20 est constitué essentiellement d'une embase 21 destinée à être fixée sur un ski ou autre organe de glisse, et d'un chariot de verrouillage 30 commandé par un système de verrouillage 40.The fixing device 20 essentially consists of a base 21 intended to be fixed on a ski or other sliding member, and a carriage locking 30 controlled by a locking system 40.

Le chariot de verrouillage 30 est monté déplaçable longitudinalement (d'une façon non représentée dans le dessin) sur l'embase 21. Son déplacement est commandé par un levier 41 qui est articulé en 42 sur ce chariot de verrouillage et qui est relié à l'embase 21 par l'intermédiaire d'un fil ressort 43 en forme de U. Ce fil ressort 43 est articulé par chacune de ses extrémités 44 au levier de verrouillage 41 et à l'embase 21 par sa partie médiane 45.The locking carriage 30 is mounted movable longitudinally (from a not shown in the drawing) on the base 21. Its displacement is controlled by a lever 41 which is articulated at 42 on this locking carriage and which is connected to the base 21 by means of a U-shaped spring wire 43. This spring wire 43 is articulated by each of its ends 44 to the locking lever 41 and to the base 21 by its middle part 45.

L'ensemble ressort 43, levier 41 constituent un système de verrouillage à genouillère dont les axes sont constitués par les axes d'articulation 42, 44, 45, les deux axes 42, 45, définissant la ligne de point mort de la genouillère.The spring assembly 43, lever 41 constitute a locking system with knee brace whose axes are constituted by the articulation axes 42, 44, 45, the two axes 42, 45, defining the dead center line of the toggle.

De façon connue en soi, le blocage de la genouillère est obtenu lorsque l'axe d'articulation défini par 44 passe en dessous de la ligne de point mort définie par les axes 42, 45.In a manner known per se, the blocking of the kneepad is obtained when the axis articulation defined by 44 passes below the neutral line defined by axes 42, 45.

Le chariot de verrouillage 30 comporte deux crochets 31, 32, ayant sensiblement la forme d'un C ouvert vers l'arrière.The locking carriage 30 has two hooks 31, 32, having substantially the shape of a C open towards the back.

Chacun des crochets 31, 32, coopère à la façon d'une mâchoire/contre mâchoire avec une face d'appui fixe respectivement 21, 22, pour le verrouillage d'un axe associé respectivement 11, 12, de la chaussure.Each of the hooks 31, 32 cooperates in the manner of a jaw / against jaw with a fixed bearing face respectively 21, 22, for locking an axis associated respectively 11, 12, of the shoe.

Ainsi que le montrent les figures, la face d'appui 22 est verticale, du moins en partie, tandis que la face d'appui 21 présente une légère pente, de façon à permettre un déclenchement ainsi qu'on le verra plus loin. Ces deux faces d'appui 21, 22, sont réalisées sur une partie fixe 23 solidaire de l'embase 21. Le crochet 31 comporte également une légère rampe 34 formant avec la face d'appui 21 une sorte de Vé permettant un chaussage automatique.As the figures show, the bearing face 22 is vertical, at least in part, while the bearing face 21 has a slight slope, so that allow a trigger as we will see later. These two bearing faces 21, 22, are produced on a fixed part 23 integral with the base 21. The hook 31 comprises also a slight ramp 34 forming with the bearing face 21 a kind of Vee allowing automatic fitting.

Le crochet 32 est solidaire du chariot de verrouillage 30, tandis que le crochet 31 est monté déplaçable en direction longitudinale sur ce chariot 30.The hook 32 is integral with the locking carriage 30, while the hook 31 is mounted movable in longitudinal direction on this carriage 30.

Un ressort 35 sollicite en permanence le crochet 31 vers l'arrière de la fixation, c'est-à-dire en direction de la face d'appui 21, dans la position de verrouillage de l'axe 11.A spring 35 permanently urges the hook 31 towards the rear of the binding, that is to say in the direction of the bearing face 21, in the locking position of axis 11.

Par ailleurs, le chariot de verrouillage 30 comporte un épaulement vertical 36 destiné à coopérer avec une saillie verticale 37 du crochet 31 pour entraíner ce crochet 31 dans la position de déverrouillage de l'axe 11 lors du déplacement du chariot vers l'avant.Furthermore, the locking carriage 30 has a vertical shoulder 36 intended to cooperate with a vertical projection 37 of the hook 31 to drive this hook 31 in the unlocking position of the axis 11 when moving the carriage forward.

Les figures 2 et 3 illustrent le fonctionnement du dispositif de fixation de la figure 1.Figures 2 and 3 illustrate the operation of the fixing device of Figure 1.

Dans la position d'ouverture, illustrée à la figure 2, le levier de verrouillage 41 est pivoté vers le haut, autour de son axe 42 et entraíne le chariot 30 en translation dans la direction opposée aux faces d'appui 21, 22, c'est-à-dire vers la gauche sur la figure.In the open position, illustrated in FIG. 2, the locking lever 41 is pivoted upwards around its axis 42 and drives the carriage 30 in translation in the direction opposite to the bearing faces 21, 22, i.e. to the left on the figure.

On notera que dans ce mouvement d'ouverture le crochet mobile 31 est également entraíné par le chariot 30 par le biais de l'épaulement 36 coopérant avec la saillie 37 de ce crochet.Note that in this opening movement the movable hook 31 is also driven by the carriage 30 through the shoulder 36 cooperating with the projection 37 of this hook.

Les deux crochets 31, 32, délimitent alors avec les faces d'appui 21, 22, des logements aptes à recevoir les deux axes de verrouillage 11, 12, de la chaussure. Une fois ces axes 11, 12, en place dans leurs logements associés, il suffit de faire pivoter le levier 41 vers le bas, c'est-à-dire dans le sens horaire, pour repousser le chariot 30 dans la position de verrouillage représentée à la figure 1, chacun des crochets 31, 32, venant verrouiller l'axe de chaussure associé 11, 12, contre la face d'appui associée respectivement 21, 22.The two hooks 31, 32 then delimit, with the bearing faces 21, 22, housings capable of receiving the two locking pins 11, 12, of the boot. Once these axes 11, 12, in place in their associated housings, it suffices to make pivot the lever 41 down, that is to say clockwise, to push the carriage 30 in the locking position shown in Figure 1, each of hooks 31, 32, locking the associated shoe axis 11, 12, against the face associated support 21, 22 respectively.

Comme expliqué précédemment, un verrouillage fiable des axes est alors obtenu par le système à genouillère 41, 43.As explained above, a reliable locking of the axes is then obtained by the toggle system 41, 43.

En cas d'un effort trop important s'exerçant sur les axes 11, 12, et notamment en direction verticale, par exemple en cas de chute, l'axe 11 peut glisser vers le haut le long de la rampe 21 en repoussant le crochet mobile 21 vers l'avant jusqu'à être libéré de son logement.In the event of an excessive force exerted on the axes 11, 12, and in particular in vertical direction, for example in the event of a fall, axis 11 can slide upwards along the ramp 21 by pushing the movable hook 21 forward until it is released from his home.

A ce moment, la chaussure peut alors pivoter librement autour de l'axe avant 12, sans risque de blessure pour l'utilisateur. La possibilité de libération de l'axe arrière 11 de la chaussure permet donc d'augmenter la sécurité de l'utilisateur.At this moment, the shoe can then pivot freely around the front axis 12, without risk of injury to the user. The possibility of axis release rear 11 of the shoe therefore increases the safety of the user.

Par ailleurs, comme l'axe avant 12 reste verrouillé, l'organe de glisse n'est pas perdu et ne risque pas de s'échapper et d'aller blesser un autre sportif. Furthermore, as the front axle 12 remains locked, the sliding member is not lost and not in danger of escaping and injuring another sportsman.

Ce verrouillage permanent de l'axe avant 12 permet également un rechaussage plus facile.This permanent locking of the front axle 12 also allows a raising easier.

En effet, les rampes associées 34, 21, du crochet 31 et de sa face d'appui, ainsi que le montage élastique de ce crochet 31 permettent un verrouillage automatique de l'axe arrière 11 par simple introduction de celui-ci dans le Vé de chaussage délimité par les rampes et exercice d'un effort vertical sur cet axe 11 jusqu'à repoussement du crochet 31 vers l'avant et introduction de l'axe 11 dans son logement.Indeed, the associated ramps 34, 21, of the hook 31 and of its bearing face, thus that the elastic mounting of this hook 31 allow automatic locking of the rear axle 11 by simple introduction thereof into the shoe V delimited by the ramps and exercise of a vertical force on this axis 11 up to pushing the hook 31 forwards and introducing the pin 11 into its housing.

L'exemple de réalisation de l'invention montré à la figure 4 se distingue de l'exemple précédent par le remplacement de l'axe avant 12 et du crochet de verrouillage associé 32 par une face d'appui verticale 13 de la chaussure et une butée verticale associée 39 du chariot de verrouillage de sorte que la chaussure n'est verrouillée que par son axe arrière 11.The exemplary embodiment of the invention shown in FIG. 4 differs from the previous example by replacing the front axle 12 and the hook associated lock 32 by a vertical bearing face 13 of the boot and a associated vertical stop 39 of the locking carriage so that the shoe is locked only by its rear axle 11.

Tous les autres éléments sont désignés par des références identiques.All other elements are designated by identical references.

Les butées 13, 39, coopèrent ensemble pour assurer un calage de l'extrémité avant de la chaussure contre l'organe de glisse et garantir un contact sans jeu de la chaussure avec celui-ci sur tout l'avant de la chaussure.The stops 13, 39 cooperate together to secure the end front of the shoe against the sliding member and guarantee a contact without play of the shoe with it on the entire front of the shoe.

Ces butées verticales 13, 39, pourraient également être remplacées par des butées horizontales par exemple entre la face inférieure de la chaussure et la face supérieure du chariot du dispositif de fixation.These vertical stops 13, 39 could also be replaced by horizontal stops for example between the underside of the shoe and the face top of the carriage of the fixing device.

Par rapport à une telle solution, les butées verticales présentent l'avantage de ne pas être soumises aux problèmes d'usure.Compared to such a solution, the vertical stops have the advantage of not be subject to wear problems.

La butée verticale 39 pourra également être prévue en un matériau élastique de façon à compenser les inévitables jeux de fabrication.The vertical stop 39 may also be provided in an elastic material of in order to compensate for the inevitable manufacturing games.

On notera également que les systèmes de verrouillage à axe, crochet décrits pourraient être remplacés par tout système de verrouillage équivalent.It will also be noted that the locking systems with axis, hook described could be replaced by any equivalent locking system.

Toutefois le système de verrouillage de type charnière décrit est préféré puisqu'il permet une rotation facile de la chaussure autour de l'axe 12 en cas de verrouillage de l'axe 11 lors d'une chute.However, the hinge type locking system described is preferred since it allows easy rotation of the shoe around the axis 12 in case of axis 11 locked during a fall.
