Abstract

The retainer (1) comprises a dorsal support (7) providing rear support for the lower leg. It has a base (8) which takes the boot sole. The dorsal support is articulated on the base along an axis (Y-Y'). A control peg (11,22) fixed to the boot (2) causes articulation of the dorsal support relative to the base by engaging an arm (18) in the dorsal support. This causes leverage relative to the Y-Y' axis. The dorsal support is articulated from an open position to a closed position in the direction from back to front when the sole is displaced towards the board during fitting. A spring (24) moves the dorsal support relative to the base in accordance with the front to back articulation. A stop (25) limits articulation of the dorsal support in the front to back direction. The dorsal support has an indentation (26) at the level of the boot heel.

Description

L'invention se rapporte au domaine des dispositifs de retenue d'une chaussure sur une planche de glisse destinée à la pratique du surf sur neige. L'invention concerne plus particulièrement des moyens de retenue d'une chaussure qui comprennent un élément d'appui arrière de bas de jambe.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.

Dans la pratique du surf, un utilisateur est amené à chausser et à déchausser de nombreuses fois, par exemple lors de l'utilisation de divers moyens de remontées mécaniques, ou encore après une chute. Par conséquent, il est important que chaque dispositif de retenue d'une chaussure sur la planche permette des chaussages et des déchaussages rapides et aisés. Bien entendu, le chaussage doit être considéré comme l'opération consistant à solidariser la chaussure à la planche, le déchaussage étant l'opération inverse.In the practice of surfing, a user is required to put on and take off many times, for example when using various means of ski lifts, or even after a fall. Consequently, it is important that each device for retaining a shoe on the board allows quick and easy putting on and taking off. Of course, the boot should be considered as the operation consisting in securing the shoe to the board, the heaving being the reverse operation.

L'art antérieur a proposé de nombreux dispositifs de retenue qui permettent des chaussages et des déchaussages rapides et aisés. De tels dispositifs étaient au départ utilisés avec des chaussures à tige relativement rigide, faites par exemple avec des coques en matière plastique. Généralement, ces dispositifs comprennent des moyens de solidarisation de la chaussure à la planche qui agissent sensiblement au niveau de la semelle, la tige servant au maintien du pied et au passage d'informations sensorielles au niveau du pied et du bas de jambe. Le chaussage se fait généralement soit par action manuelle, soit par la seule action du pied, ce qui évite dans ce cas à l'utilisateur d'avoir à se baisser pour intervenir avec les mains.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.

Une évolution plus récente des matériels consiste à associer des dispositifs de retenue à utilisation rapide avec des chaussures à tige relativement souple, afin que l'utilisateur puisse faire avec les jambes des mouvements suffisamment amples pour conduire la planche. Dans ce cas, un élément d'appui du bas de jambe est associé au dispositif de façon que l'utilisateur puisse facilement prendre appui sur la neige avec la carre arrière de son surf.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. In this case, 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.

Cependant, il est apparu que ces dispositifs ne sont pas réellement satisfaisants. En effet, l'élément d'appui du bas de jambe a généralement une forme courbe et ergonomique qui suit le profil de la jambe lorsque l'utilisateur est dans une position orthostatique.However, it appeared that these devices are not really satisfactory. Indeed, 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.

Il s'ensuit que l'utilisateur est gêné par l'élément d'appui pour chausser ou déchausser, perdant ainsi au moins en partie l'avantage procuré par un dispositif de retenue à utilisation rapide.It follows that the user is hampered by the support element for fitting or removing shoes, thus losing at least in part the advantage provided by a quick-use retaining device.

D'autre part, la présence de l'élément d'appui oblige l'utilisateur à déplacer et à incliner le pied vers l'avant par rapport à l'élément d'appui pour chausser, ce qui empêche un positionnement correct de la chaussure par rapport au dispositif de retenue.On the other hand, 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.

Afin de remédier à ces inconvénients, l'invention propose un dispositif de retenue d'une chaussure sur une planche de glisse, le dispositif comprenant notamment un élément d'appui dorsal pour assurer l'appui arrière du bas de jambe et une embase destinée à recevoir en partie au moins la semelle de la chaussure, l'élément d'appui dorsal étant articulé sur l'embase selon un axe Y-Y' sensiblement transversai du dispositif.In order to remedy these drawbacks, 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.

Le dispositif selon l'invention est caractérisé par le fait qu'au moins un moyen de commande engendre un mouvement d'articulation de l'élément d'appui dorsal par rapport à l'embase selon l'axe Y-Y', d'une position d'ouverture vers une position de fermeture dans un sens postéro-antérieur, quand la semelle se déplace vers la planche lors de l'opération de chaussage.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.

Cette structure permet à l'utilisateur d'amener l'élément d'appui sensiblement au contact du bas de jambe par la seule action du pied au moment du chaussage.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.

Il suffit qu'un mouvement préalable du pied ait écarté l'élément d'appui dorsal pour que le chaussage soit facile et précis. Par conséquent, l'élément d'appui ne constitue plus une gêne au moment du chaussage.It is sufficient that a prior movement of the foot has moved the back support element apart for the boot to be easy and precise. Consequently, the support element no longer constitutes a discomfort during putting on.

Le dispositif selon l'invention est de préférence caractérisé par le fait qu'un moyen élastique sollicite l'élément d'appui dorsal par rapport à l'embase selon l'axe Y-Y', selon un mouvement d'articulation dans un sens antéro-postérieur.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.

Il s'ensuit que l'élément d'appui dorsal est naturellement écarté de la trajectoire de la chaussure au moment du chaussage, rendant ainsi le chaussage encore plus rapide.It follows that the back support element is naturally moved away from the path of the shoe at the time of putting on, thus making the putting on even faster.

Le dispositif selon l'invention est caractérisé encore par le fait qu'un moyen d'arrêt limite le mouvement d'articulation de l'élément d'appui dorsal par rapport à l'embase selon l'axe Y-Y', dans le sens antéro-postérieur.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.

Par conséquent, un mouvement de la chaussure de faible amplitude suffit à amener l'élément d'appui dorsal dans une position d'utilisation après chaussage, ce qui a l'avantage de faciliter encore le chaussage.Consequently, a movement of the shoe of small amplitude is sufficient to bring the back support element into a position of use after fitting, which has the advantage of further facilitating the fitting.

De préférence, le dispositif selon l'invention est caractérisé par le fait que l'élément d'appui dorsal présente une échancrure au niveau du talon de la chaussure.Preferably, the device according to the invention is characterized in that the back support element has a notch at the heel of the shoe.

Cette structure permet à l'utilisateur de transmettre des efforts spécifiques au dispositif de retenue, notamment dans le cas de prise de carre arrière. En effet, l'appui se fait au niveau de bas de jambe, donnant à l'utilisateur plus de force et de précision dans la conduite de la planche. Un avantage supplémentaire est que l'échancrure facilite le passage du talon de la chaussure au moment du chaussage.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.

Selon un premier mode de réalisation, le dispositif est caractérisé par le fait que le moyen de commande est un pion solidaire de la chaussure, le pion coopérant avec un bras de l'élément d'appui dorsal pour créer un effet de levier par rapport à l'axe Y-Y'. Le déplacement de l'élément d'appui dorsal est avantageusement corrélé au déplacement de la chaussure au moment du chaussage.According to a first embodiment, 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.

De préférence, le pion de la chaussure coopère avec un moyen de guidage solidaire de l'embase, le moyen de guidage étant une cavité délimitée en partie au moins par une surface de positionnement du pion . Cette structure a l'avantage d'être simple et facile à fabriquer. De plus, elle permet d'amener l'élément d'appui dorsal dans une position précise après le chaussage.Preferably, 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.

De préférence encore, le dispositif selon ce premier mode de réalisation est caractérisé par le fait qu'un moyen de verrouillage est apte à coopérer avec le pion, de façon que le pion soit simultanément sensiblement en contact avec la surface de positionnement de la cavité et avec le bras de l'élément d'appui dorsal. Le moyen de verrouillage comprend un crochet articulé sur l'embase contre l'action d'un moyen élastique.More preferably, 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.

Cette structure permet un verrouillage simultané du talon de la chaussure et de l'élément d'appui dorsal. De plus, le verrouillage se fait automatiquement après que le pion a atteint la surface de positionnement. L'avantage est que les efforts de conduite transmis à l'élément d'appui dorsal sont intégralement absorbés par le dispositif de retenue.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.

Selon un second mode de réalisation, le dispositif selon l'invention est caractérisé par le fait que le moyen de commande est une barre solidaire de l'élément d'appui dorsal. Cette structure permet avantageusement d'utiliser des chaussures conventionnelles.According to a second embodiment, 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.

Selon le second mode de réalisation encore, le dispositif est caractérisé par le fait que la barre relie deux bras de l'élément d'appui dorsal, la barre étant apte à coopérer avec la semelle de la chaussure pour créer un effet de levier par rapport à l'axe Y-Y'. Cette structure est telle que les efforts de conduite transmis à l'élément d'appui dorsal sont intégralement absorbés par la semelle de la chaussure, la semelle étant elle-même solidarisée à l'embase par tout moyen connu. L'avantage est que cette construction est très simple et peu coûteuse à fabriquer.According to the second embodiment again, 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.

L'élément d'appui dorsal 7 et l'embase 8 sont liés l'un à l'autre par un moyen d'articulation, représenté ici sous la forme d'un rivet 9 d'axe 10, l'axe 10 étant orienté sensiblement dans une direction transversale de la chaussure 2 et du dispositif 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.

De préférence, comme le montre la figure 2, le moyen d'articulation de l'élément d'appui dorsal 7 par rapport à l'embase 8 comprend deux rivets 9 ayant chacun un axe 10, l'un des rivets 9 étant situé d'un côté du dispositif 1, tandis que l'autre est situé du côté opposé, par rapport à une direction longitudinale de la chaussure 2 et du dispositif 1. La direction longitudinale doit être comprise comme étant sensiblement parallèle à la longueur d'un pied, c'est-à-dire orientée des orteils vers le talon ou inversement.Preferably, as shown in FIG. 2, 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.

On peut remarquer que la direction longitudinale du dispositif 1 est sensiblement perpendiculaire aux axes 10 des rivets 9, de façon à permettre un mouvement d'articulation de l'élément d'appui dorsal 7 par rapport à l'embase 8, dans un sens antéro-postérieur ou dans un sens postéro-antérieur. Le sens antéro-postérieur correspond à une extension du pied par rapport à la jambe, le sens postéro-antérieur correspondant à un mouvement inverse obtenu par exemple quand un utilisateur fléchit les jambes.It can be noted that 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.

La figure 2 montre également deux pions latéraux 11, 12 qui sont partie intégrante de la chaussure 2. Les pions 11, 12 sont par exemple des cylindres reliés entre eux par une barre 13, les pions 11, 12 et la barre 13 formant un bloc qui peut être en métal tel qu'un acier, le bloc étant de préférence noyé dans la semelle 6 au moment de la fabrication.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.

Pour une meilleure compréhension de l'invention, la chaussure 2 est représentée de manière symbolique, comme un objet transparent, à l'exception des pions 11, 12 et de la barre 13.For a better understanding of the invention, the shoe 2 is represented symbolically, like a transparent object, with the exception of the pins 11, 12 and the bar 13.

Les pions 11, 12 sont respectivement en appui sur des surfaces de positionnement 14, 15 situées dans des cavités ouvertes 16, 17 de l'embase 8. Les pions 11, 12 sont en contact avec les surfaces 14, 15 parce que la chaussure 2 est dans une position d'utilisation du dispositif 1. On remarque que dans ce cas il existe un espace S entre la semelle 6 et l'embase 8. Cet espace permet à la chaussure 2 de coopérer avec le dispositif 1 dans tous les cas, même en présence de corps étrangers, comme de la neige ou de la glace.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.

Les pions 11, 12 remplissent simultanément plusieurs fonctions : ils positionnent la chaussure 2 par rapport à l'embase 8 en même temps qu'ils appuient respectivement sur des bras 18, 19 de l'élément d'appui dorsal 7.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.

La figure 4 montre, par l'intérieur du dispositif 1, le pion 11 à la fois en position sur la surface de positionnement 14 de la cavité 16 et en appui sur le bras 18 de l'élément d'appui dorsal 7. Pour des raisons de commodité, la chaussure 2 n'est pas représentée.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. For for convenience, shoe 2 is not shown.

La figure 4 montre également un moyen de verrouillage verrouillant le pion 11 dans la cavité 16 contre l'action d'un moyen élastique. Le moyen de verrouillage est représenté par une extrémité 20 en forme de crochet d'un fil métallique tel qu'un fil d'acier.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.

Le moyen élastique est représenté par l'autre extrémité en forme de ressort 21 du même fil que celui formant le crochet 20. Par conséquent, le crochet 20 sert à la fois à maintenir le pion 11 en position fixe par rapport à l'embase 8 et à empêcher une rotation de l'élément d'appui dorsal 7 par rapport a l'embase 8 dans un sens antéro-postérieur. L'élément d'appui dorsal 7 est maintenu dans une position de fermeture, représentée en trait fort, par le crochet 20.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.

Bien entendu, un autre crochet et un autre ressort agissent de façon similaire pour le pion 12 dans la cavité 17 et pour le bras 19 de l'élément d'appui dorsal 7.Of course, another hook and another spring act similarly for the pin 12 in the cavity 17 and for the arm 19 of the back support element 7.

Ainsi, lorsque l'utilisateur donne des impulsions avec le bas de jambe vers l'arrière, c'est l'ensemble du dispositif 1 qui tend à accompagner la chaussure 2, permettant par conséquent à l'utilisateur de prendre de bons appuis du côté arrière R de la planche 3.Thus, when the user gives impulses with the lower leg towards the rear, it is the whole of the device 1 which tends to accompany the shoe 2, consequently allowing the user to take good support from the side back R of board 3.

Les pions 11, 12 de la chaussure 2 se mettent en place dans les cavités 16, 17 quand l'utilisateur approche le pied du dispositif 1. La forme du crochet 20 permet au pion 11 d'écarter le crochet 20 contre l'action du ressort 21 au moment du chaussage.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.

Le même processus a lieu pour le pion 12 et le crochet associé.The same process takes place for pin 12 and the associated hook.

La forme de chaque crochet empêche chaque pion 11, 12 de quitter ensuite la cavité dans laquelle il est maintenu.The shape of each hook prevents each pin 11, 12 from leaving the cavity in which it is held.

Si l'utilisateur veut dégager la partie arrière de la chaussure 2 du dispositif 1, il peut agir sur les crochets.If the user wants to release the rear part of the shoe 2 from the device 1, he can act on the hooks.

La figure 3 montre en coupe un exemple de moyen permettant de déverrouiller un pion.Figure 3 shows in section an example of a means for unlocking a pawn.

Pour des raisons de commodité, seule une moitié du dispositif 1 est représentée. Cette moitié correspond au côté de la chaussure 2 portant le pion 11, mais une structure similaire existe du côté de la chaussure 2 portant le pion 12.For convenience, only half of the device 1 is shown. This half corresponds to the side of the shoe 2 carrying the pin 11, but a similar structure exists on the side of the shoe 2 carrying the pin 12.

La figure 3 montre que le fil, constituant à la fois le ressort 21 et le crochet 20, est prolongé du côté du crochet 20 en passant à travers une fente 22 de l'embase 8 pour se loger dans un doigt 23.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.

Le doigt 23 est situé à l'extérieur du dispositif 1 et permet à l'utilisateur de déplacer l'extrémité du fil dans la fente 22. Il s'ensuit que le crochet 20 peut se déplacer dans un sens de déverrouillage contre l'action du ressort 21.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.

Quand chaque crochet a libéré le pion avec lequel il est associé, l'utilisateur peut soulever la partie arrière de la chaussure 2 pour déchausser. Bien entendu, l'utilisateur peut aussi être amené à désolidariser toute autre partie de la chaussure 2 qui serait maintenue sur l'embase 8 par tout moyen connu de l'homme de l'art.When each hook has released the pin with which it is associated, the user can lift the rear part of the shoe 2 to take off the shoes. Of course, the user can also be led to separate any other part of the shoe 2 which would be held on the base 8 by any means known to those skilled in the art.

Lorsque les pions 11, 12 ne sont plus en place sur le dispositif 1, la chaussure 2 n'est plus en contact avec l'embase 8 et l'élément d'appui dorsal 7 n'est plus en contact avec la tige 5 au niveau du bas de jambe de l'utilisateur.When the pins 11, 12 are no longer in place on the device 1, the shoe 2 is no longer in contact with the base 8 and the back support element 7 is no longer in contact with the rod 5 at user's lower leg level.

Dans ce cas, comme le montre par exemple la figure 4 en pointillé, l'élément d'appui dorsal 7 se place dans une position d'ouverture grâce aux actions d'un moyen élastique et d'un moyen d'arrêt. Le moyen élastique est représenté sous la forme d'un ressort hélicoïdal 24 enroulé autour du rivet 9, une extrémité du ressort 24 étant solidarisée à l'embase 8 et l'autre extrémité du ressort 24 étant solidarisée à l'élément d'appui dorsal, par tout moyen connu tel que le passage dans un orifice. Le ressort 24 sollicite l'élément d'appui dorsal 7 dans un sens de rotation antéro-postérieur par rapport à l'embase 8. Le moyen d'arrêt qui limite le déplacement de l'élément d'appui dorsal 7 est représenté sous la forme d'une partie en saillie de l'embase 8, ou butée 25.In this case, as shown for example in FIG. 4 in dotted lines, 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.

Le ressort 24 et la butée 25 permettent à l'élément d'appui dorsal 7 d'être suffisamment écarté de la trajectoire que suit la chaussure 2 pendant le chaussage, pour ne pas gêner le chaussage. Comme il est prévu que le dispositif 1 soit utilisé de préférence avec tout autre moyen de retenue d'une autre partie de la chaussure 2 qui permet la retenue par la seule action du pied, le dispositif offre le double avantage d'un chaussage facile et précis. Bien entendu, l'opération de déchaussage est également facilitée par le dégagement de l'élément d'appui dorsal 7.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. As it is intended that 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.

La figure 1 montre également en pointillé la position d'ouverture qu'occupe l'élément d'appui dorsal 7 après un déchaussage. Afin de faciliter encore le mouvement de la chaussure 2 par rapport au dispositif, il est prévu une échancrure 26 dans l'élément d'appui dorsal 7.Figure 1 also shows in dotted lines the open position occupied by the back support element 7 after heaving. In order to further facilitate the movement of the shoe 2 relative to the device, a notch 26 is provided in the back support element 7.

Comme le montre la figure 2, l'échancrure 26 est en grande partie délimitée par les bras 18, 19 de l'élément d'appui dorsal 7, de façon que le passage du talon de la chaussure 2 soit libre. En fait, l'élément d'appui dorsal 7 vient en contact avec la tige 5 uniquement au niveau du bas de jambe de l'utilisateur. De cette façon, le passage d'informations sensorielles se fait de manière plus perceptible par l'utilisateur.As shown in Figure 2, 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. In fact, 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.

Il est possible de gérer un mouvement de l'élément d'appui dorsal 7 par rapport à l'embase 8 par d'autres modes de réalisation, comme celui montré à la figure 5.It is possible to manage a movement of the back support element 7 relative to the base 8 by other embodiments, such as that shown in FIG. 5.

Pour des raisons de commodité, les mêmes éléments sont désignés par les mêmes références.For the sake of convenience, the same elements are designated by the same references.

Ce second exemple de réalisation se distingue du précédent par les différences ci-après ;

  • la chaussure 2 ne comprend pas de pions,
  • l'embase 8 ne comprend pas de moyens de positionnement et de verrouillage de pions,
  • les bras 18, 19 situés chacun d'un côté du dispositif 1 sont reliés l'un à l'autre à leurs extrémités respectives par une poutre 27.
This second exemplary embodiment differs from the previous one by the differences below;
  • shoe 2 does not include pawns,
  • the base 8 does not include means for positioning and locking pins,
  • the arms 18, 19 each located on one side of the device 1 are connected to each other at their respective ends by a beam 27.

Les autres parties du dispositif 1 sont semblables à celles du premier mode de réalisation.The other parts of the device 1 are similar to those of the first embodiment.

Selon le second mode, lorsque l'utilisateur vient chausser la chaussure 2 dans le dispositif 1, la semelle 6 pousse la poutre 27 vers la planche 3 contre l'action du ressort 24. A la fin du chaussage, la semelle 6 maintient la poutre 27 contre la partie de l'embase 8 située sur la planche de glisse 3.According to the second mode, when the user comes to put the shoe 2 on in the device 1, 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.

De préférence, les pièces sont dimensionnées de façon qu'il reste un espace S entre la semelle 6 et l'embase 8 pour les mêmes raisons que dans le cas précédent.Preferably, 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.

A la fin du chaussage encore, l'élément d'appui dorsal 7 est en contact avec la tige 5 au niveau du bas de jambe de l'utilisateur.At the end of the boot again, the back support element 7 is in contact with the rod 5 at the user's lower leg.

Au moment du déchaussage, la semelle 6 s'éloigne de l'embase 8, et le ressort 24 permet à son tour un éloignement de l'élément d'appui dorsal 7 de la tige 5. Là encore, la butée 25 limite l'amplitude du déplacement de l'élément d'appui dorsal 7.At the time of heaving, 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.

Dans ce second mode de réalisation, il est nécessaire que la semelle 6 soit maintenue plaquée sur la poutre 27 par tout moyen connu et non représenté sur la figure, tel qu'un système de verrouillage automalique de semelle.In this second embodiment, it is necessary for the sole 6 to be held pressed against the beam 27 by any known means and not shown in the figure, such as an automatic locking system for the sole.

Quel que soit le mode de réalisation, les matériaux utilisés seront ceux employés traditionnellement. En particulier, on pourra réaliser l'embase 8 et l'élément d'appui dorsal 7 en matières plastiques armées ou non, ou en alliage métallique.Whatever the embodiment, the materials used will be those traditionally used. In particular, the base 8 and the back support element 7 may be produced from reinforced or unarmoured plastics, or from a metal alloy.

Bien entendu, l'invention n'est pas limitée aux modes de réalisation ainsi décrits, et comprend tous les équivalents techniques pouvant entrer dans la portée des revendications suivantes.Of course, the invention is not limited to the embodiments thus described, and includes all the technical equivalents which may fall within the scope of the following claims.

En particulier, on peut prévoir d'insérer une entretoise entre l'embase 8 et la planche 3, l'entretoise pouvant comporter des moyens de réglage de sa position par rapport à la planche 3.In particular, provision may be made to insert a spacer between the base 8 and the board 3, the spacer possibly comprising means for adjusting its position relative to the board 3.

On peut également prévoir un dispositif de verrouillage et de déverrouillage simultané des pions 11, 12 dans le cas du premier mode de réalisation.It is also possible to provide a device for simultaneously locking and unlocking the pins 11, 12 in the case of the first embodiment.
