Description

L'invention concerne un dispositif de fermeture d'une chaussure, notamment d'une chaussure de ski.The invention relates to a device for closing a boot, in particular a ski boot.

De façon connue, de tels dispositifs sont utilisés pour resserrer deux pans ou deux rabats d'une coque autour d'un chausson dans lequel se trouve le pied du skieur.In known manner, such devices are used to tighten two sides or two flaps of a shell around a liner in which the skier's foot is located.

L'invention se rapporte aux dispositifs de fermeture qui mettent en oeuvre un levier de manoeuvre à genouillère d'une part, et une crémaillère d'autre part, qui permet de réaliser un réglage au moins grossier de la longueur du dispositif.The invention relates to closing devices which use a toggle operating lever on the one hand, and a rack on the other hand, which makes it possible to achieve at least coarse adjustment of the length of the device.

Egalement de manière connue, de tels dispositifs comportent des moyens de réglage complémentaires de la position de la crémaillère par rapport au lever, permettant d'augmenter sa capacité de serrage s'ajoutant à celle obtenue classiquement par le choix d'une dent ou d'une autre avec laquelle est susceptible de coopérer un organe d'accrochage, lui-même relié au levier de manoeuvre.Also in a known manner, such devices include means for complementary adjustment of the position of the rack relative to the lever, making it possible to increase its clamping capacity adding to that obtained conventionally by the choice of a tooth or another with which is capable of cooperating a fastening member, itself connected to the operating lever.

Le brevet européen n° 545 965 décrit un dispositif de fermeture du type précité dans lequel l'on obtient un réglage complémentaire de la position de la crémaillère par l'intermédiaire d'une excentrique dont l'axe peut être déplacé dans un sens longitudinal et dans le sens transversal d'un organe de traction, ledit excentrique étant lié par ailleurs à un élément cranté pouvant être bloqué ou libéré par un organe de serrage.European patent n ° 545 965 describes a closing device of the aforementioned type in which a complementary adjustment of the position of the rack is obtained by means of an eccentric, the axis of which can be moved in a longitudinal direction and in the transverse direction of a traction member, said eccentric being linked moreover to a notched element which can be blocked or released by a clamping member.

Ce dispositif présente l'inconvénient majeur de devoir desserrer un organe, une vis par exemple, avant d'effectuer le retournement de l'excentrique. De plus, cela implique de disposer d'un outil approprié qui s'ajoute à la contrainte de l'intervention s'effectuant selon un temps plus ou moins long. Par ailleurs, un tel système implique de devoir aligner les crans de l'excentrique avant resserrage de l'ensemble.This device has the major drawback of having to loosen an organ, a screw for example, before performing the reversal of the eccentric. In addition, this implies having an appropriate tool which adds to the constraint of the intervention taking place over a more or less long time. Furthermore, such a system involves having to align the notches of the eccentric before tightening the assembly.

Le certificat d'utilité français n° 2 561 503 décrit en ce qui le concerne un dispositif de réglage de crans situés à sa partie inférieure et coopérant avec un moyen d'arrêt agissant dans le sens de la traction d'un tirant auquel elle est reliée, le maintien dans une position choisie s'effectuant grâce à un moyen de poussée élastique. Un tel système est non seulement très coûteux par le nombre de pièces à mettre en oeuvre mais présente également l'inconvénient d'être peu fiable du fait que les chocs qu'il est susceptible de recevoir dans une zone aussi exposée peuvent conduire à une désolidarisation de la crémaillère par rapport à ses moyens d'immobilisation et de réglage.French utility certificate no. 2,561,503 describes, as far as it is concerned, a notch adjustment device situated at its lower part and cooperating with a stop means acting in the direction of the pulling of a tie rod to which it is connected, the maintenance in a chosen position being effected by means of elastic thrust. Such a system is not only very costly in terms of the number of parts to be used, but also has the drawback of being unreliable since the shocks it is liable to receive in such an exposed area can lead to separation. of the rack relative to its immobilization and adjustment means.

Le brevet d'invention français n° 2 109 080 enseigne d'effectuer un réglage complémentaire dans un dispositif de fermeture, mais à la différence des précédents, la crémaillère est portée par le levier de manoeuvre lui-même, et les moyens de réglage complémentaires sont réalisés sur une embase d'un étrier d'accrochage au niveau de sa fixation sur l'autre pan de la chaussure. Dans ce cas, le réglage du serrage s'effectue sur chaque pan de la chaussure et nécessite de désolidariser l'étrier d'accrochage de la crémaillère du lever pour permettre son réglage complémentaire, ce qui implique de larges mouvements de la part de l'utilisateur, pas toujours aisés à effectuer.French patent No. 2 109 080 teaches to carry out an additional adjustment in a closing device, but unlike the previous ones, the rack is carried by the operating lever itself, and the additional adjustment means. are made on a base of a hooking stirrup at its attachment to the other side of the shoe. In this case, the adjustment of the tightening is carried out on each side of the shoe and requires to separate the hooking stirrup from the lever of the lever to allow its additional adjustment, which implies large movements on the part of the user, not always easy to perform.

La présente invention a pour objectif de remédier aux différents inconvénients ressortant des dispositifs connus cités ci-dessus, en prévoyant notamment un double réglage du serrage sur une seule pièce montée sur un pan de la chaussure.The present invention aims to remedy the various drawbacks arising from the known devices mentioned above, in particular by providing a double adjustment of the tightening on a single piece mounted on a side of the shoe.

A cet effet, elle concerne un dispositif de fermeture d'une chaussure, notamment d'une chaussure de ski, destiné à maintenir rapproché deux pans de la chaussure et comprend d'une part, un levier de manoeuvre porté par une platine reliée solidairement à l'un des pans à rapprocher de l'autre, et d'autre part, sur l'autre pan une crémaillère comportant des moyens de réglage complémentaires de sa position par rapport au levier permettant d'augmenter sa capacité de serrage, crémaillère dans l'une des dents de laquelle est susceptible de s'engager un organe d'accrochage, lui-même relié au levier de manoeuvre par un tirant inextensible caractérisé en ce que les moyens de réglage de la crémaillère sont constitués par une zone de réglage comportant une lumière oblongue en forme de boutonnière réalisée sur le pan de la chaussure au droit d'une face inférieure de la crémaillère et délimitée par deux zones d'extrémité circulaires dont le diamètre est égal à celui d'un pion de verrouillage solidaire de la face inférieure de la crémaillère et traversant ladite boutonnière pour y être retenu axialement, lesdites zones circulaires étant reliées entre elles par une partie droite à bords parallèles, écartés l'un de l'autre selon une valeur égale à celle d'une partie méplate du pion de la crémaillère qui est réalisée dans un sens perpendiculaire à l'axe longitudinal de déplacement de cette dernière, de manière à ce que celle-ci puisse être déplacée, en vue de son réglage, d'une extrémité à l'autre de la boutonnière, après une rotation à 90° par rapport à son axe longitudinal pour permettre le libre coulissement de la zone méplate du pion d'où celui de la crémaillère dans l'une ou l'autre des zones circulaires d'extrémité, par une rotation de 90° en sens inverse, ramenant la crémaillère dans une position longitudinale fonctionnelle.To this end, it relates to a device for closing a boot, in particular a ski boot, intended to keep two sections of the boot close together and comprises, on the one hand, an operating lever carried by a plate connected integrally to one of the sides to be brought closer to the other, and on the other hand, on the other pan, a rack comprising means for complementary adjustment of its position relative to the lever making it possible to increase its clamping capacity, rack in the 'one of the teeth of which is capable of engaging a fastening member, itself connected to the operating lever by an inextensible tie rod characterized in that the adjustment means of the rack consist of an adjustment zone comprising a oblong hole in the shape of a buttonhole made on the side of the shoe in line with a lower face of the rack and delimited by two circular end zones whose diameter is equal to that ui of a locking pin integral with the underside of the rack and passing through said buttonhole to be retained axially therein, said circular zones being connected to each other by a straight part with parallel edges, spaced from one another according to a value equal to that of a flat part of the pin of the rack which is made in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of displacement of the latter, so that the latter can be moved, for its adjustment, from one end to the other of the buttonhole, after a 90 ° rotation relative to its longitudinal axis to allow free sliding of the flat area of the pin, hence that of the rack in one or the other circular end zones, by a rotation of 90 ° in the opposite direction, bringing the rack into a functional longitudinal position.

La présente invention concerne également les caractéristiques qui ressortiront au cours de la description qui va suivre, et qui devront être considérées isolément ou selon toutes leurs combinaisons techniques possibles.The present invention also relates to the characteristics which will emerge during the description which follows, and which should be considered in isolation or according to all their possible technical combinations.

Selon le mode d'exécution représenté sur les figures, le dispositif de fermeture 1 globalement désigné, est destiné à assurer le rapprochement de deux pans de chaussure 2 et 3.According to the embodiment shown in the figures, the closure device 1 generally designated, is intended to ensure the bringing together of two sections of shoe 2 and 3.

Le dispositif 1 comprend, dans cet exemple, un lever de manoeuvre 4 de type à genouillère. Un tel levier 4 est connu et comprend un bras 5 relié au pan 3 de la chaussure par l'intermédiaire d'une platine 6. Un tirant inextensible 7 est fixé de manière articulé sur le bras 5 du lever 4, et est destiné à être relié à une crémaillère 8 par l'intermédiaire d'un organe d'accrochage inextensible 9 apte à coopérer avec au moins l'une des dents 8a, 8b, 8c,..., de celle-ci.The device 1 comprises, in this example, an operating lever 4 of the toggle type. Such a lever 4 is known and includes an arm 5 connected to the pan 3 of the shoe via a plate 6. An inextensible tie rod 7 is articulated on the arm 5 of the lever 4, and is intended to be connected to a rack 8 via an inextensible hooking member 9 able to cooperate with at least one of the teeth 8a, 8b, 8c, ..., of the latter.

La crémaillère 8 est fixée sur le pan 2 de la chaussure alors que le levier 4 est fixé sur l'autre pan 3 à rapprocher.The rack 8 is fixed on the pan 2 of the shoe while the lever 4 is fixed on the other pan 3 to be brought together.

La crémaillère 8 comporte des moyens de réglage complémentaires de sa position par rapport au levier 4 afin d'augmenter sa capacité de serrage s'ajoutant à celui obtenu par la coopération de l'une de ses dents 8a, 8b, 8c,..., avec l'organe d'accrochage 9.The rack 8 includes complementary adjustment means for its position relative to the lever 4 in order to increase its clamping capacity adding to that obtained by the cooperation of one of its teeth 8a, 8b, 8c, ... , with the attachment member 9.

Selon l'invention, ces moyens de réglage sont constitués d'une manière générale par une lumière oblongue en forme de boutonnière 10 réalisée dans une zone de réglage du pan 2 de la chaussure au droit d'une face inférieure de la crémaillère 8 et délimitée par deux zones d'extrémité circulaires 11, 12, dont les diamètres respectivement D1, D2, sont identiques et égaux à celui d'un pion de verrouillage 13 solidaire de la face inférieure de la crémaillère 8. Le pion 13 traverse ladite boutonnière 10 pour y être retenu axialement. Les zones circulaires 11, 12, et la boutonnière 10 sont reliées entre elles par une partie droite 14 à bords parallèles 15 et 16, écartés l'un de l'autre selon une valeur B égale à celle B' d'une partie méplate 17 du pion 13 de la crémaillère 8 qui est orientée dans un sens perpendiculaire Y-Y' à l'axe longitudinal X-X' de déplacement de cette dernière lorsqu'elle est verrouillée. De cette manière, ladite crémaillère 8 peut être déplacée selon F, en vue de son réglage, d'une extrémité 11 à l'autre 12 de la boutonnière 10, après une rotation R à 90° par rapport à son axe longitudinal X-X' pour permettre le libre coulissement de la zone méplate 17 du pion 13 dans la partie droite 14 de la boutonnière 10 et le verrouillage de ce dernier 13 d'où celui de la crémaillère 8 dans l'une ou l'autre des zones circulaires d'extrémité 11 et 12, par une rotation de 90° en sens inverse, ramenant la crémaillère 8 dans une position longitudinale fonctionnelle.According to the invention, these adjustment means are generally constituted by an oblong hole in the form of a buttonhole 10 produced in an adjustment zone of the pan 2 of the shoe in line with a lower face of the rack 8 and delimited by two circular end zones 11, 12, the diameters of which D1 and D2 respectively are identical and equal to that of a locking pin 13 secured to the underside of the rack 8. The pin 13 passes through said buttonhole 10 to be retained axially. The circular zones 11, 12, and the buttonhole 10 are connected together by a straight part 14 with parallel edges 15 and 16, spaced from one another by a value B equal to that B 'of a flat part 17 of the pin 13 of the rack 8 which is oriented in a direction perpendicular YY 'to the longitudinal axis XX' of displacement of the latter when it is locked. In this way, said rack 8 can be moved along F, for its adjustment, from one end 11 to the other 12 of the buttonhole 10, after a rotation R at 90 ° relative to its longitudinal axis XX 'for allow free sliding of the flat area 17 of the pin 13 in the straight part 14 of the buttonhole 10 and the locking of the latter 13 hence that of the rack 8 in one or other of the circular end zones 11 and 12, by a 90 ° rotation in the opposite direction, bringing the rack 8 back into a functional longitudinal position.

De cette manière, et comme le montre particulièrement bien la figure 5, la crémaillère 8 pourra être placée dans une position P1 ou P2 différente selon une valeur de déplacement X.In this way, and as shown particularly well in FIG. 5, the rack 8 can be placed in a different position P1 or P2 according to a displacement value X.

Un avantage particulièrement intéressant de l'invention réside dans le fait qu'une fois réglée, la crémaillère 8 peut se débattre angulairement par rapport à l'axe longitudinal de son support, lui permettant ainsi un auto-alignement avec le levier de manoeuvre 4 lorsque les pans 2 et 3 se déforment lors de la manoeuvre de serrage, ou lors de la pratique du ski, en fonction des mouvements du pied du skieur et des déformations éventuelles de la coque de la chaussure.A particularly advantageous advantage of the invention lies in the fact that once adjusted, the rack 8 can be angularly struggled relative to the longitudinal axis of its support, thus allowing it to self-align with the operating lever 4 when the sides 2 and 3 are deformed during the tightening maneuver, or when skiing, depending on the movements of the skier's foot and possible deformations of the boot shell.

De manière à renforcer la zone de réglage sur laquelle est réalisée la boutonnière 8, celle-ci est constituée par un surmoulage d'une matière plastique relativement rigide effectuée sur le pan 2 concerné de la chaussure.So as to reinforce the adjustment zone on which the buttonhole 8 is produced, it is constituted by an overmolding of a relatively rigid plastic material carried out on the relevant pan 2 of the shoe.

Selon l'exemple de réalisation représenté sur les figures 1 et 2, la zone de réglage sur laquelle est réalisée la boutonnière 10 est constituée par une plaque support rigide 20 relativement plane sur laquelle est préalablement fixée la crémaillère 8 de manière coulissante, et qui est rapportée sur le pan 2 de la chaussure par l'intermédiaire de deux rivets de fixation 21 et 22 à ses extrémités, ledit pan 2 de la chaussure étant lui-même muni d'une ouverture 23 le traversant sur toute son épaisseur et apte à permettre le libre débattement du pion 13 de la crémaillère 8 lors d'un réglage ultérieur.According to the embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the adjustment zone on which the buttonhole 10 is made consists of a rigid support plate 20 relatively flat on which is previously fixed the rack 8 in a sliding manner, and which is attached to the pan 2 of the shoe by means of two fastening rivets 21 and 22 at its ends, said pan 2 of the shoe itself being provided with 'An opening 23 passing through it over its entire thickness and capable of allowing the free movement of the pin 13 of the rack 8 during a subsequent adjustment.

Selon l'exemple de la figure 3, la zone de réglage sur laquelle est réalisée la boutonnière 8 est constituée par une plaque support rigide 24 en forme d'oméga dont une partie centrale de profil en U renversé est destinée à se loger dans une ouverture transversale 25 du pan 2A de la chaussure, une partie relativement plane supérieure 26 constituant la branche horizontale du U comporte la boutonnière 10 dans laquelle est préalablement fixée de manière coulissante la crémaillère 8, et effleure la surface extérieure du pan 2A de la chaussure. Les branches latérales 27 et 28 de l'oméga s'étendant dans des directions opposées se logent dans des évidements 29 et 30 réalisés sur la surface interne du pan 2A de la chaussure et reçoivent deux rivets de fixation 31 et 32 le traversant de part en part.According to the example of FIG. 3, the adjustment zone on which the buttonhole 8 is made is constituted by a rigid support plate 24 in the shape of an omega, a central part of which has an inverted U profile is intended to be housed in an opening. transverse 25 of the pan 2A of the shoe, a relatively flat upper part 26 constituting the horizontal branch of the U comprises the buttonhole 10 in which the rack 8 is slidably fixed beforehand, and grazes the outer surface of the pan 2A of the shoe. The lateral branches 27 and 28 of the omega extending in opposite directions are housed in recesses 29 and 30 made on the internal surface of the pan 2A of the shoe and receive two fixing rivets 31 and 32 passing through it in go.

Selon l'exemple de la figure 4, la zone de réglage sur laquelle est réalisée la boutonnière 10 est constituée par une plaque support rigide 33 relativement plane sur laquelle est préalablement fixée la crémaillère 8 de manière coulissante, et qui est rapportée dans un logement 34 de forme et d'épaisseur correspondantes réalisé sur la surface extérieure du pan 2B de la chaussure pour y être fixé par l'intermédiaire de deux rivets 35 et 36 à ses extrémités, ledit pan 2B comportant au droit de la boutonnière 10 un logement borgne 37 de dimensions aptes à permettre le libre débattement du pion 13 porté par la crémaillère 8 lors d'un réglage ultérieur de celle-ci.According to the example of FIG. 4, the adjustment zone on which the buttonhole 10 is made is constituted by a relatively flat rigid support plate 33 on which the rack 8 is slidably fixed beforehand and which is attached to a housing 34 of corresponding shape and thickness made on the outer surface of the pan 2B of the shoe to be fixed thereto by means of two rivets 35 and 36 at its ends, said pan 2B comprising, to the right of the buttonhole 10, a blind housing 37 of dimensions suitable for allowing the free movement of the pin 13 carried by the rack 8 during a subsequent adjustment thereof.

Ce mode de réalisation offre de nombreux avantages, à savoir :

  • le pan 2B n'est pas ouvert de part en part, donc moins de risque de fragilisation, de déformation au serrage et de manque d'étanchéité,
  • aucune partie visible à l'intérieur de la chaussure hormis les rivets de fixation 35 et 36,
  • la plaque support 33 est particulièrement simple,
  • possibilité d'un montage séparé d'un sous-ensemble complet.
This embodiment offers many advantages, namely:
  • the pan 2B is not open right through, therefore less risk of embrittlement, deformation when tightened and lack of tightness,
  • no visible part inside the shoe except the fastening rivets 35 and 36,
  • the support plate 33 is particularly simple,
  • possibility of separate mounting of a complete sub-assembly.

Selon l'exemple des figures 1 à 4, la retenue axiale du pion de verrouillage 13 et de la crémaillère 8 sur le pan 2 de la chaussure dans la zone de réglage s'effectue par l'intermédiaire d'une zone circulaire élargie 38 dudit pion 13 prenant appui sous la boutonnière de réglage 10, et dont les dimensions D3 sont au moins supérieures à celles D1, D2, des zones circulaires d'extrémité 11 et 12 de cette demière.According to the example of FIGS. 1 to 4, the axial retention of the locking pin 13 and of the rack 8 on the side 2 of the boot in the adjustment zone is effected by means of an enlarged circular zone 38 of said pin 13 bearing under the adjustment buttonhole 10, and whose dimensions D3 are at least greater than those D1, D2, of the circular end zones 11 and 12 of this latter.

Dans ce cas, le pion 13 est obtenu distinctement de la crémaillère 8 et forme à sa base une collerette constituant la zone d'appui élargie 38. La liaison d'un tel pion 13 sur la crémaillère 8, de manière coulissante, s'effectue par l'intermédiaire d'un axe perpendiculaire 39 issu de la face inférieure de la crémaillère 8 et traversant un alésage axial 40 du pion 13 pour en être rendu solidaire.In this case, the pin 13 is obtained distinctly from the rack 8 and forms at its base a flange constituting the enlarged support area 38. The connection of such a pin 13 on the rack 8, in a sliding manner, takes place by means of a perpendicular axis 39 from the underside of the rack 8 and passing through an axial bore 40 of the pin 13 to be made integral therewith.

La liaison et l'immobilisation en rotation du pion 13 sur l'axe 39 de la crémaillère 8 s'effectue par rivetage de l'extrémité dudit axe 39. Ainsi, la plaque support 20, 24 ou 33, est prise en sandwich entre la collerette 38 dudit pion 13 et la face inférieure de la crémaillère 8.The connection and immobilization in rotation of the pin 13 on the axis 39 of the rack 8 is effected by riveting the end of said axis 39. Thus, the support plate 20, 24 or 33, is sandwiched between the flange 38 of said pin 13 and the underside of the rack 8.

Selon une variante de réalisation (figure 7), le pion 13A (méplats 17) est obtenu solidairement de la crémaillère 8A. La zone élargie de retenue axiale dudit pion 13A d'où de la crémaillère 8A est constituée dans ce cas par une rondelle circulaire 41 rapportée sur la base libre 42 du pion 13A, après insertion dans la boutonnière 10, par l'intermédiaire d'une vis 43 se vissant dans un trou fileté axial 44 de celui-ci.According to an alternative embodiment (Figure 7), the pin 13A (flats 17) is obtained integrally from the rack 8A. The enlarged axial retention zone of said pin 13A from which rack 8A is constituted in this case by a circular washer 41 attached to the free base 42 of the pin 13A, after insertion into the buttonhole 10, by means of a screw 43 which is screwed into an axial threaded hole 44 thereof.
