Definitions

  • the invention relates to the field of devices for retaining a boot on a gliding board intended for the practice of snowboarding.
  • the invention relates more particularly to means for retaining a shoe which comprise a rear lower leg support element.
  • each device for retaining a shoe on the board allows quick and easy putting on and taking off.
  • the boot should be considered as the operation consisting in securing the shoe to the board, the heaving being the reverse operation.
  • the prior art has proposed numerous retaining devices which allow quick and easy putting on and taking off. Such devices were initially used with shoes with a relatively rigid upper, made for example with plastic shells. Generally, these devices include means for securing the boot to the board which act substantially at the level of the sole, the upper serving to maintain the foot and the passage of sensory information at the level of the foot and the lower leg.
  • the boot is generally made either by manual action, or by the sole action of the foot, which in this case avoids the user having to bend down to intervene with the hands.
  • a more recent evolution of the materials consists in associating fast-use restraint devices with shoes with a relatively flexible upper, so that the user can make with the legs movements sufficiently large to drive the board.
  • a lower leg support element is associated with the device so that the user can easily take support on the snow with the rear edge of his board.
  • the lower leg support element generally has a curved and ergonomic shape which follows the profile of the leg when the user is in an orthostatic position.
  • the presence of the support element obliges the user to move and tilt the foot forward with respect to the support element for fitting, which prevents correct positioning of the shoe. relative to the retainer.
  • the invention provides a device for retaining a boot on a gliding board, the device notably comprising a back support element for ensuring the rear support of the lower leg and a base intended for receive in part at least the sole of the shoe, the back support element being articulated on the base along an axis YY 'substantially transverse of the device.
  • the device according to the invention is characterized in that at least one control means generates a movement of articulation of the back support element relative to the base along the axis Y-Y ', d' an open position to a closed position in a posterior-anterior direction, when the sole moves towards the board during the fitting operation.
  • This structure allows the user to bring the support element substantially into contact with the lower leg by the sole action of the foot when putting on.
  • the device according to the invention is preferably characterized in that an elastic means biases the dorsal support element relative to the base along the axis Y-Y ', according to an articulation movement in one direction anteroposterior.
  • the device according to the invention is further characterized by the fact that a stop means limits the articulation movement of the dorsal support element relative to the base along the axis Y-Y ', in the anteroposterior direction.
  • the device according to the invention is characterized in that the back support element has a notch at the heel of the shoe.
  • This structure allows the user to transmit specific forces to the retaining device, especially in the case of rear edge grip. Indeed, the support is done at the lower leg, giving the user more strength and precision in the handling of the board.
  • An additional advantage is that the notch facilitates the passage of the heel of the shoe when putting on.
  • the device is characterized in that the control means is a pin integral with the shoe, the pin cooperating with an arm of the back support element to create a leverage effect with respect to the axis Y-Y '.
  • the movement of the back support element is advantageously correlated to the movement of the shoe at the time of putting on.
  • the shoe pin cooperates with a guide means integral with the base, the guide means being a cavity delimited in part at least by a surface for positioning the pin.
  • This structure has the advantage of being simple and easy to manufacture. In addition, it allows the back support element to be brought into a precise position after putting on.
  • the device according to this first embodiment is characterized in that a locking means is able to cooperate with the pin, so that the pin is simultaneously substantially in contact with the positioning surface of the cavity and with the arm of the back support element.
  • the locking means comprises a hook articulated on the base against the action of an elastic means.
  • This structure allows simultaneous locking of the heel of the shoe and the back support element. In addition, the locking is done automatically after the pin has reached the positioning surface.
  • the advantage is that the driving forces transmitted to the back support element are fully absorbed by the retaining device.
  • the device according to the invention is characterized in that the control means is a bar secured to the back support element.
  • This structure advantageously allows the use of conventional shoes.
  • the device is characterized in that the bar connects two arms of the back support element, the bar being able to cooperate with the sole of the shoe to create a leverage effect with respect to to the axis Y-Y '.
  • This structure is such that the driving forces transmitted to the back support element are fully absorbed by the sole of the shoe, the sole being itself secured to the base by any known means.
  • the advantage is that this construction is very simple and inexpensive to manufacture.
  • FIG. 1 is a partial view of a device 1 for retaining a boot 2 on a gliding board 3, according to a first embodiment.
  • the shoe 2 comprises a rod 5 secured by any known means to a sole 6, the rod 5 bearing on a back support element 7 of the device 1, while the sole 5 is positioned on a base 8 of the device 1.
  • the back support element 7 and the base 8 are linked to each other by an articulation means, represented here in the form of a rivet 9 of axis 10, the axis 10 being oriented substantially in a transverse direction of the shoe 2 and the device 1.
  • the means of articulation of the back support element 7 with respect to the base 8 comprises two rivets 9 each having an axis 10, one of the rivets 9 being located d one side of the device 1, while the other is located on the opposite side, with respect to a longitudinal direction of the boot 2 and of the device 1.
  • the longitudinal direction should be understood as being substantially parallel to the length of a foot , i.e. oriented from the toes towards the heel or vice versa.
  • the longitudinal direction of the device 1 is substantially perpendicular to the axes 10 of the rivets 9, so as to allow an articulation movement of the back support element 7 relative to the base 8, in an antero direction -posterior or in a postero-anterior direction.
  • the antero-posterior direction corresponds to an extension of the foot relative to the leg
  • the postero-anterior direction corresponding to a reverse movement obtained for example when a user bends the legs.
  • Figure 2 also shows two lateral pins 11, 12 which are an integral part of the shoe 2.
  • the pins 11, 12 are for example cylinders connected together by a bar 13, the pins 11, 12 and the bar 13 forming a block which can be made of metal such as steel, the block preferably being embedded in the sole 6 at the time of manufacture.
  • the shoe 2 is represented symbolically, like a transparent object, with the exception of the pins 11, 12 and the bar 13.
  • the pins 11, 12 are respectively supported on positioning surfaces 14, 15 located in open cavities 16, 17 of the base 8.
  • the pins 11, 12 are in contact with the surfaces 14, 15 because the shoe 2 is in a position for using the device 1. It will be noted that in this case there is a space S between the sole 6 and the base 8. This space allows the shoe 2 to cooperate with the device 1 in all cases, even in the presence of foreign bodies, such as snow or ice.
  • the pins 11, 12 simultaneously fulfill several functions: they position the shoe 2 relative to the base 8 at the same time as they respectively support arms 18, 19 of the back support element 7.
  • FIG. 4 shows, from inside the device 1, the pin 11 both in position on the positioning surface 14 of the cavity 16 and in abutment on the arm 18 of the back support element 7.
  • shoe 2 is not shown.
  • FIG. 4 also shows a locking means locking the pin 11 in the cavity 16 against the action of an elastic means.
  • the locking means is represented by a hook-shaped end 20 of a metal wire such as a steel wire.
  • the elastic means is represented by the other spring-shaped end 21 of the same wire as that forming the hook 20. Consequently, the hook 20 serves both to keep the pin 11 in a fixed position relative to the base 8 and to prevent rotation of the support element dorsal 7 relative to the base 8 in an anteroposterior direction.
  • the back support element 7 is held in a closed position, shown in strong lines, by the hook 20.
  • the pins 11, 12 of the shoe 2 are placed in the cavities 16, 17 when the user approaches the foot of the device 1.
  • the shape of the hook 20 allows the pin 11 to spread the hook 20 against the action of the spring 21 when putting on.
  • each hook prevents each pin 11, 12 from leaving the cavity in which it is held.
  • Figure 3 shows in section an example of a means for unlocking a pawn.
  • FIG. 3 shows that the wire, constituting both the spring 21 and the hook 20, is extended on the side of the hook 20 by passing through a slot 22 of the base 8 to be housed in a finger 23.
  • the finger 23 is located outside the device 1 and allows the user to move the end of the wire into the slot 22. It follows that the hook 20 can move in an unlocking direction against the action of spring 21.
  • the back support element 7 is placed in an open position thanks to the actions of an elastic means and a stop means.
  • the elastic means is shown in the form of a helical spring 24 wound around the rivet 9, one end of the spring 24 being secured to the base 8 and the other end of the spring 24 being secured to the back support element. , by any known means such as passing through an orifice.
  • the spring 24 biases the back support element 7 in an anteroposterior direction of rotation relative to the base 8.
  • the stop means which limits the movement of the back support element 7 is shown in the form of a projecting part of the base 8, or stop 25.
  • the spring 24 and the stop 25 allow the back support element 7 to be sufficiently spaced from the path that the shoe 2 follows during the fitting, so as not to hinder the fitting.
  • the device 1 is preferably used with any other means of retaining another part of the shoe 2 which allows the retention by the sole action of the foot, the device offers the double advantage of easy donning and specific. Of course, the heaving operation is also facilitated by the release of the back support element 7.
  • Figure 1 also shows in dotted lines the open position occupied by the back support element 7 after heaving.
  • a notch 26 is provided in the back support element 7.
  • the notch 26 is largely delimited by the arms 18, 19 of the back support element 7, so that the passage of the heel of the shoe 2 is free.
  • the back support element 7 comes into contact with the rod 5 only at the level of the user's lower leg. In this way, the passage of sensory information is made more perceptible by the user.
  • the other parts of the device 1 are similar to those of the first embodiment.
  • the sole 6 pushes the beam 27 towards the board 3 against the action of the spring 24. At the end of the fitting, the sole 6 holds the beam 27 against the part of the base 8 located on the gliding board 3.
  • the parts are dimensioned so that there remains a space S between the sole 6 and the base 8 for the same reasons as in the previous case.
  • the back support element 7 is in contact with the rod 5 at the user's lower leg.
  • the sole 6 moves away from the base 8, and the spring 24 in turn allows a distancing of the dorsal support element 7 from the rod 5. Again, the stop 25 limits the amplitude of movement of the back support element 7.
  • the materials used will be those traditionally used.
  • the base 8 and the back support element 7 may be produced from reinforced or unarmoured plastics, or from a metal alloy.
