Definitions
- the subject of the invention is a snowboard binding at automatic footwear and a shoe for the latter.
- the snowboard also called snowboard, is a snowboard more or less flexible elongated intended to slide on the snow.
- a binding comprising a base comprising side hooks, one of which is locked by a lever, in which snap two stirrups integral with the shoe.
- One of the stirrups is locked by a means of closure that allows passage during putting on and prevents return of the stirrup by its interposition during a vertical stress. If this fixation is satisfactory as for the automatic shoe, it is not for its comfort since the boot can be done only by a very directional arrival.
- this type of binding does not allow the use of a shoe rigid because the user's leg having the joints maintained does not provide the flexibility to allow the snap.
- EP-A-0 615 774 and US-A-5 299 823 describe self-fitting snowboard bindings.
- the object of the invention is to provide a fixing which does not not have the defects of existing fasteners and a shoe for the latter. These goals are achieved with the snowboard binding defined in claim 1.
- a binding according to the invention represents a compact set with a pleasant shape to watch.
- the attachment has a base plate 1, also called base, intended to be fixed on the surface upper of a snowboard.
- the mounting of the base 1 is done by means of screws passing through the holes 2, or by via a circular plate (not shown), which have notches to allow 360 ° angle adjustment and holes intended to receive fixing screws, not represented.
- the circular plate (not shown) is independent of the base 1 and has a rim with splines. We find identical grooves on the base 1 which allows to orient the binding in the desired manner. This device is known and is found on fasteners that is why it was not represented.
- the binding is formed by a base 1 comprising two side plates 3 and 4, having a spacing 5 substantially the width of a shoe.
- Each of said plates 3 and 4 has a vertical groove 6 respectively 7 at its center and a cam 8 respectively 9 movable on axes integral with said plates 3 and 4.
- These cams are intended to hold a transverse bar 10 at the bottom of the grooves 6 and 7 fixed under the sole of the shoe (see figure 8 and 9).
- the transverse bar 10 is snapped into the grooves 6 and 7 of the plates 3 and 4 of the base 1 and is retained by the cams 8 and 9.
- Said cams are self-tightening, that is to say that they can make up for any play left by the compaction of a layer of snow under the sole thanks to the cutouts 11.
- the shoe is released by simple pressure on a lateral lever 12, which by a transmission rod 13 held in the low position by a spring 14, opens the two cams 8 and 9 at the same time, which allows the removal of the bar 10, therefore of the shoe 15 (Fig 5).
- the bar 10 can be constituted by a straight bar or having folds.
- FIG. 5 will better understand the operation of the binding. Indeed, it is not necessary to present the shoe 15 horizontally laterally or longitudinally for the latching to be carried out.
- the cams 8 and 9 are independent despite their connection by the rod 13 by the presence of the slot 16.
- the binding can be used regardless of the orientation of the shoe.
- the fixing according to the invention can be made of light metal, for example sheet metal or aluminum alloy or of synthetic material of suitable strength. As can be seen in the figures, only the sole of the shoe has been shown, since the vamp and the upper can be of any shape and have no influence on the invention.
- a sole 1 of a shoe according to the invention comprises a front part 3 and a rear part called heel 2. Between the two parts 2 and 3 is a recess 4, which in the described embodiment is circular with a diameter of 110 mm and depth of 14 mm. These shapes and dimensions are given only by way of example.
- the recess can have any shape, for example: square, rectangular, elliptical, oval etc. to allow the attachment of a bar 5 between the front part 3 and the heel 2.
- This bar disposed transversely relative to the length of the sole has a length slightly greater than the width of the sole, so as to create hooking elements projecting, or substantially aligned with the external shapes of the upper of the shoe.
- the bar 5 is intended to be caught in a device provided (shown in Figures 1 to 7) on the attachment designed to cooperate with said shoe.
- the position of the bar 5 is substantially offset, relative to the middle of the sole, on the rear side, that is towards the heel 2. This positioning of the bar aims to create a better position for the user in order to obtain a more direct transmission of the forces.
- a sole 1 of a shoe according the invention comprises a front part 3 and a rear part called heel 2. Between the two parts 2 and 3 is a recess 4, which in the form of execution described is circular with a diameter of 110 mm and depth of 14 mm. These shapes and dimensions are given only by way of example.
- the indentation can have any shape, for example: square, rectangular, elliptical, oval to allow the fixing of a bar 5 between the front part 3 and the heel (2).
- This bar arranged transversely relative to the sole length has a length slightly greater than the width of the sole, so as to create elements hanging, or substantially aligned with the shapes of the upper of the shoe.
- the bar 5 is intended to be caught in a device provided (not shown) on the attachment designed to cooperate with the said shoe.
- the position of the bar 5 is noticeably off center, relative to the middle of the sole, rear side, that is towards the heel 2. This positioning of the bar aims to create a better position for the user in order to obtain a more direct transmission of efforts.
- Bar 5 will be held against the sole by any means known. In the example described it is held by a plate 6 screwed by four screws 7.
- the sole 1 of the shoe can also have a groove 9 to improve the maintenance of the bar 5.
- the bar 5 will present to its two ends extending beyond the sole 1 of the elbows this for gain height.
- the invention is not limited to the defined forms of execution, but on the contrary contains all the variants that the man of art could adapt to it in terms of dimensions, shapes and positions of the reinforcements and the bar 5.

Abstract
Description
L'invention a pour objet une fixation de surf à neige à chaussage automatique et une chaussure pour cette dernière. Le surf à neige, aussi dénommé planche à neige, est une planche allongée plus ou moins flexible destinée à glisser sur la neige.The subject of the invention is a snowboard binding at automatic footwear and a shoe for the latter. The snowboard, also called snowboard, is a snowboard more or less flexible elongated intended to slide on the snow.
Les surfs à neige sont chers relativement au temps pendant lequel ils sont utilisés. De plus, durant la période ou ils ne sont pas utilisés ils sont encombrants. Pour ces raisons beaucoup de sportifs occasionnels préfèrent louer des surfs à neige plutôt que de les acheter. Les fixations actuelles nécessitent un réglage selon les types de chaussures et les pointures. Les fixations de surf à chaussage automatique actuellement sur le marché, offrent peu de position de chaussage, ce qui est particulièrement incommode avec des chaussures à coques rigides, dite alpines.Snowboards are expensive for the time being which they are used. In addition, during the period when they do not are not used they are bulky. For these reasons many casual athletes prefer to rent surfboards from snow rather than buying them. Current fixings require adjustment according to the types of shoes and sizes. Self-fitting surf bindings currently on the market, offer little footwear, which is particularly inconvenient with rigid shell shoes, called alpine.
En effet, les fixations à chaussage automatique actuelles comportent un encliquetage très directionnel. La plupart des fixations de surfs à chaussage automatique nécessitent une grande précision de la part de l'utilisateur pour les chausser. Ces fixations ne sont pas satisfaisantes, certaines ne sont pas centrales relativement à la chaussure et nécessitent un étrier de tenue à l'avant de la chaussure, elles n'offrent pas une bonnes répartition des efforts sur le surf. Elles sont à encliquetage latéral ou très directionnel ce qui offrent peu de confort à l'utilisateur. De plus, elles sont inutilisables pour les utilisateurs de chaussures rigides, dite à coque. Pour d'autres types la position lors de l'encliquetage ne laisse pas la fixation visible pour l'utilisateur et demande beaucoup de précision. Elles ne possèdent pas de possibilité de compensation automatique de serrage lors de la présence d'une épaisseur de neige sous la chaussure. La neige se tassant au gré des mouvements, laisse un vide générateur d'instabilités. Indeed, the current automatic shoe bindings have a very directional snap. Most of self-fitting surfboard bindings require high precision on the part of the user when fitting them. These fixings are not satisfactory, some are not central relative to the shoe and require a stirrup held at the front of the shoe, they do not provide good distribution of efforts on the surf. They are at lateral or very directional snap-on which offers little comfort to the user. In addition, they cannot be used for users of rigid, so-called shell shoes. For other types the position during latching does not leave fixing visible to the user and requires a lot of precision. They have no possibility of automatic tightening compensation when a snow depth under the shoe. Snow settling in thanks to the movements, leaves a void generating instabilities.
Pour améliorer les fixations de surfs à chaussage automatique on a imaginé une fixation comprenant une embase comportant des crochets latéraux, dont l'un est verrouillé par un levier, dans lesquels viennent s'encliqueter deux étriers solidaires de la chaussure. L'un des étriers est verrouillé par un moyen de fermeture qui laisse le passage lors du chaussage et empêche le retour de l'étrier par son interposition lors d'une sollicitation verticale. Si cette fixation est satisfaisant quant au chaussage automatique, elle ne l'est pas pour son confort puisque le chaussage peut s'effectuer que par une arrivée très directionnelle. Pour les chaussures à coque ce type de fixation ne permet pas l'utilisation d'une chaussure rigide, car la jambe de l'utilisateur ayant les articulations maintenues n'offre pas la souplesse requise pour permettre l'encliquetage. Un autre type de fixation comportant une plaque basse fixée sur le surf et l'empreinte femelle solidaire de la chaussure comportant les moyens de fermeture, offre les caractéristiques de fixation de surf à chaussage automatique mais a l'inconvénient d'occulter la pièce à encliqueter puisque cette dernière se situe sous la chaussure de l'utilisateur.To improve bindings on self-fitting surfboards we imagined a binding comprising a base comprising side hooks, one of which is locked by a lever, in which snap two stirrups integral with the shoe. One of the stirrups is locked by a means of closure that allows passage during putting on and prevents return of the stirrup by its interposition during a vertical stress. If this fixation is satisfactory as for the automatic shoe, it is not for its comfort since the boot can be done only by a very directional arrival. For shell shoes this type of binding does not allow the use of a shoe rigid because the user's leg having the joints maintained does not provide the flexibility to allow the snap. Another type of fastening with a plate low fixed on the surf and the female footprint attached to the shoe with the closure means, offers the self-fitting surf binding features but has the drawback of obscuring the part to be snapped on since the latter is located under the user's shoe.
On connait les chaussures de surf à neige comportant à leurs deux extrémités des rebords ou des pièces complexe sous la semelle destinées à permettre leur maintien sur le surf ou sur le ski. La plupart de ces chaussures donnent satisfaction à leurs utilisateurs, toutefois dans certaines situations elles présentent des difficultés pour être fixées sur le surf ou sur le ski, notamment lorsque de la neige s'est fixée sur le surf ou le ski ou sous la chaussure, pour les chaussures à fixation intégralement sous la semelle notamment. De plus, pour les chaussures dont la fixation se fait à l'avant et à l'arrière ou dans les zones latérales en porte-à-faux, la transmission des efforts n'est pas optimum.We know snowboard boots with their two ends of ledges or intricate pieces under the sole intended to allow their maintenance on the surf or on ski. Most of these shoes satisfy their users, however in some situations they have difficulty getting fixed on the surf or on skiing, especially when snow has settled on the surf or skiing or under the shoe, for shoes with binding fully under the sole in particular. In addition, for shoes which are attached at the front and back or in the cantilevered lateral zones, the transmission of efforts is not optimum.
D'autres chaussures présentent des creusures au niveau de la semelle dans la zone médiane pour permettre leur maintien par des griffes. Ces fixations sont relativement compliquées et peu fiables. De plus, les creusures des chaussures peuvent se remplir de neige ou la chaussure ou la fixation peut être couvert de neige, ce qui rend difficile le chaussage.Other shoes have recesses at the level of the sole in the middle zone to allow their maintenance by claws. These fasteners are relatively complicated and little reliable. In addition, the recesses in the shoes can be fill with snow or the shoe or binding can be covered with snow, which makes it difficult to put on.
Les document EP-A-0 615 774 et US-A-5 299 823 décrivent des fixations de surf a neige à chaussage automatique.EP-A-0 615 774 and US-A-5 299 823 describe self-fitting snowboard bindings.
L'invention a pour objet de fournir une fixation qui ne
présente pas les défauts des fixations existantes et une
chaussure pour cette dernière. Ces buts sont atteint avec la
fixation de surf à neige définie à la revendication 1.The object of the invention is to provide a fixing which does not
not have the defects of existing fasteners and a
shoe for the latter. These goals are achieved with the
snowboard binding defined in

Comme on le voit sur la figure 1 une fixation selon l'invention
représente un ensemble compact ayant une forme agréable à
regarder. La fixation comporte une plaque de base 1, aussi
dénommée embase, destinée à être fixée sur la surface
supérieure d'un surf à neige. La fixation de l'embase 1 se fait
au moyen de vis passant à travers les percements 2, ou par
l'intermédiaire d'une plaque circulaire(non représentée), qui
comportent des crans pour permettre le réglage d'angle sur 360°
et des perçages destinés à recevoir des vis de fixation, non
représentées. La plaque circulaire (non représentée)est
indépendante de l'embase 1 et comporte un rebord avec des
cannelures. On retrouve des cannelures identiques sur l'embase
1 ce qui permet d'orienter la fixation de la manière désirée.
Ce dispositif est connu et se trouve sur des fixations
existantes c'est pourquoi il n'a pas été représenté.As seen in Figure 1 a binding according to the invention
represents a compact set with a pleasant shape to
watch. The attachment has a
La fixation est formée par une embase 1 comportant deux plaques
latérales 3 et 4, possédant un écartement 5 sensiblement de la
largeur d'une chaussure. Chacune desdites plaques 3 et 4
présente une gorge verticale 6 respectivement 7 en son centre
et une came 8 respectivement 9 mobile sur des axes solidaires
desdites plaques 3 et 4. Ces cames sont destinées à maintenir
au fond des gorges 6 et 7 une barre transversale 10 fixée sous
la semelle de la chaussure (voir figure 8 et 9). La barre
transversale 10 vient s'encliqueter dans les gorges 6 et 7 des
plaques 3 et 4 de l'embase 1 et est retenue par les cames 8 et
9. Lesdites cames sont autoserrantes, c'est-à-dire qu'elles
peuvent rattraper un éventuel jeu laissé par le tassement d'une
couche de neige sous la semelle grâce aux fraisures 11. La
libération de la chaussure s'effectue par simple pression sur
un levier latéral 12, qui par une tige de transmission 13
maintenue en position basse par un ressort 14, ouvre les deux
cames 8 et 9 en même temps, ce qui permet le retrait de
la barre 10, donc de la chaussure 15 (Fig 5).
La barre 10 peut être constituée par une barre droite ou
comportant des pliages.The binding is formed by a
The
Sur la figure 2 on voit que l'embase 1 est de forme compacte
occupant peu de place sur la planche. On peut y remarquer la
tige de transmission 13, commandant l'ouverture des cames 8 et
9. On y remarque en position fermée la barre 10 retenue par les
cames 8 et 9 ce qui constitue un moyen de fermeture simple et
efficace.In Figure 2 we see that the
La figure 5 permettra de mieux comprendre le fonctionnement de
la fixation. En effet, il n'est pas nécessaire de présenter la
chaussure 15 horizontalement latéralement ou longitudinalement
pour que l'encliquetage soit réalisé. Les cames 8 et 9 sont
indépendantes malgré leur liaison par la tige 13 par la
présence de la fente 16.
Par sa conception, la fixation est utilisable quelle que soit
l'orientation de la chaussure.Figure 5 will better understand the operation of the binding. Indeed, it is not necessary to present the
By design, the binding can be used regardless of the orientation of the shoe.
La fixation selon l'invention peut être réalisée en métal léger
par exemple en tôle ou en alliage d'aluminium ou en matière
synthétique de résistance appropriée.
Comme on le voit sur les figures, seule la semelle de la
chaussure a été représentée, car l'empeigne et la tige peuvent
être de forme quelconque et n'ont aucune influence sur
l'invention.The fixing according to the invention can be made of light metal, for example sheet metal or aluminum alloy or of synthetic material of suitable strength.
As can be seen in the figures, only the sole of the shoe has been shown, since the vamp and the upper can be of any shape and have no influence on the invention.
On voit sur les figures 8 et 9 qu'une semelle 1 d'une chaussure
selon l'invention comporte une partie avant 3 et une partie
arrière dénommée talon 2. Entre les deux parties 2 et 3 se
trouve un renfoncement 4, qui dans la forme d'exécution décrite est circulaire
avec un diamètre de 110 mm et profondeur de 14 mm. Ces formes et ces
dimensions ne sont données qu'à titre d'exemple. Le renfoncement peut avoir
toute forme, par exemple: carrée, rectangulaire, elliptique, ovale etc. pour
permettre la fixation d'un barre 5 entre la partie avant 3 et le talon 2.
Cette barre disposée transversalement relativement à la longueur de la semelle
a une longueur légèrement supérieure à la largeur de la semelle, de manière à
créer des éléments d'accrochage en saillie, ou sensiblement aligné sur les
formes extérieures de la tige de la chaussure.We see in Figures 8 and 9 that a sole 1 of a shoe according to the invention comprises a
This bar disposed transversely relative to the length of the sole has a length slightly greater than the width of the sole, so as to create hooking elements projecting, or substantially aligned with the external shapes of the upper of the shoe.
La barre 5 est destinée à venir se prendre dans un dispositif prévu (représenté
sur les figures 1 à 7) sur la fixation conçue pour coopérer avec la dite
chaussure. La position de la barre 5 est sensiblement décentrée, par rapport au
milieu de la semelle, du côté arrière, c'est-à-dire vers le talon 2. Ce
positionnement de la barre a pour but de créer une meilleure position de
l'utilisateur à fin d'obtenir une transmission plus directe des efforts.The
Comme on le voit sur les figures, seule la semelle de la chaussure a été représentée, car l'empeigne et la tige peuvent être de forme quelconque et n'ont aucune influence sur l'invention.As can be seen in the figures, only the sole of the shoe has been shown, because the vamp and the upper can be of any shape and do not have no influence on the invention.
On voit sur les figures 1 et 2 qu'une semelle 1 d'une chaussure selon
l'invention comporte une partie avant 3 et une partie arrière dénommée talon 2.
Entre les deux parties 2 et 3 se trouve un renfoncement 4, qui dans la forme
d'exécution décrite est circulaire avec un diamètre de 110 mm et profondeur de
14 mm. Ces formes et ces dimensions ne sont données qu'à titre d'exemple. Le
renfoncement peut avoir toute forme, par exemple: carrée, rectangulaire,
elliptique, ovale pour permettre la fixation d'un barreau 5 entre la partie avant
3 et le talon (2). Ce barreau disposé transversalement relativement à la
longueur de la semelle a une longueur légèrement supérieure à
la largeur de la semelle, de manière à créer des éléments
d'accrochage en saillie, ou sensiblement aligné sur les formes
extérieures de la tige de la chaussure.We see in Figures 1 and 2 that a sole 1 of a shoe according
the invention comprises a
Le barreau 5 est destiné à venir se prendre dans un dispositif
prévu (non représenté) sur la fixation conçue pour coopérer
avec la dite chaussure. La position du barreau 5 est
sensiblement décentrée, par rapport au milieu de la semelle, du
côté arrière, c'est-à-dire vers le talon 2. Ce positionnement
du barreau a pour but de créer une meilleure position de
l'utilisateur à fin d'obtenir une transmission plus directe des
efforts.The
La barre 5 sera maintenue contre la semelle par tout moyen
connu. Dans l'exemple décrit elle est maintenue par une plaque
6 vissée par quatre vis 7. La semelle 1 de la chaussure peut
aussi présenter une gorge 9 pour améliorer le maintien de la
barre 5.
Dans certaines formes d'exécution la barre 5 présentera à ses
deux extrémités dépassant la semelle 1 des coudes ceci pour
gagner de la hauteur.In certain embodiments the
L'invention n'est pas limitée aux formes d'exécutions définies,
mais au contraire comporte toutes les variantes que l'homme de
l'art pourrait y adapter en ce qui concerne les dimensions, les
formes et les positions des renforcements et de la barre 5.The invention is not limited to the defined forms of execution,
but on the contrary contains all the variants that the man of
art could adapt to it in terms of dimensions,
shapes and positions of the reinforcements and the
Comme il va de soit, l'invention ne se limite pas à la seule forme d'exécution de cette fixation de surf à chaussage automatique, qui a été décrite ci-devant à titre d'exemple, mais embrasse toutes les variantes d'exécution, notamment en ce qui a trait à la forme de l'embase des plaques d'appui ou de la matière utilisée pour la réalisation.It goes without saying that the invention is not limited to the sole embodiment of this boot binding automatic, which has been described above by way of example, but embraces all variants of execution, in particular in that which relates to the shape of the base of the support plates or of the material used for the realization.
