Abstract

The boot is held by a body (1) that slides on a slide (4). A bolt (9), articulated on the body, has teeth (10) that engage in the slide to immobilize the body. It is released by a lever (20) which is operated by one finger. The lever has two lateral wings (21) which extend downwards on either side of the central region of the slide (4a).

Description

La présente invention concerne un dispositif de retenue d'une chaussure sur une planche de glisse, par exemple un ski, comprenant un corps monté coulissant sur une glissière, un verrou articulé sur ledit corps et immobilisant ce corps sur la glissière, le verrou et la glissière étant, à cet effet, munis de moyens d'accrochage mutuel le long de la région centrale de la glissière, moyens constitués, d'une part, de dents et, d'autre part, de logements dans lesquels les dents sont engagées, le verrou étant muni d'un levier de déverrouillage s'étendant au-dessus de la glissière, en direction de l'extérieur du corps, ce levier permettant de dégager manuellement le verrou de la glissière en engageant un doigt sous le levier.The present invention relates to a retaining device a shoe on a gliding board, for example a ski, comprising a body slidably mounted on a slide, a lock articulated on said body and immobilizing this body on the slide, latch and slide being, for this purpose, provided with means of mutual bonding along the central region of the slide, means consisting, on the one hand, of teeth and, on the other hand, of housings in which the teeth are engaged, the lock being provided with a lever unlocking extending above the slide, in direction from outside the body, this lever allowing manually release the slide lock by engaging a finger under the lever.

Un tel dispositif est connu du modèle d'utilité allemand 295 20 845. Les dents du verrou s'engagent dans une crémaillère de la glissière et le levier du verrou s'étend largement au-dessus de la glissière de manière à permettre une désolidarisation du verrou et de la crémaillère par soulèvement du levier sans l'aide d'outil. Le levier s'étend entre deux parois latérales parallèles du corps destinées à protéger le verrou contre un déverrouillage non désiré dû à un choc sur son levier, par exemple le choc lors du chargement des skis sur une télécabine. La sécurité du verrou exige donc un corps de fixation particulier.Such a device is known from the utility model German 295 20 845. The teeth of the lock engage in a rack of the slide and the lever of the latch extends widely above the slide so as to allow the lock to be detached and rack by lifting the lever without help tool. The lever extends between two side walls body parallels to protect the lock against an unwanted unlocking due to a shock on its lever, for example shock when loading skis on a gondola. Lock security requires therefore a particular fixing body.

Un autre dispositif du même type est connu du brevet français 2 735 699. Dans ce dispositif, les dents du verrou s'engagent dans des trous formés dans une zone centrale surélevée de la glissière et le levier du verrou est muni d'un organe de manoeuvre rapporté en forme de T. Cet organe de manoeuvre peut être avantageusement actionné en passant deux doigts sous la barre du T et en s'appuyant avec le pouce sur le corps de la fixation ou le levier de déchaussage, mais il est exposé aux chocs et risque donc de se déverrouiller intempestivement.Another device of the same type is known from the patent French 2,735,699. In this device, the teeth of the latch engage in holes formed in an area raised central slide and lever lock is provided with an actuating member reported in T-shape. This operating member can be advantageously operated by passing two fingers under the T bar and pressing with the thumb on the body of the attachment or the release lever, but it is exposed to shocks and therefore may unlock accidentally.

D'autres dispositifs sont connus du FR-A-2 638 653 et du FR-A- 2 614 545.Other devices are known from FR-A-2 638 653 and FR-A- 2 614 545.

La présente invention a pour but de réaliser un verrou possédant ses propres moyens de sécurité de telle sorte qu'il soit utilisable dans des corps de fixation existants.The object of the present invention is to produce a lock having its own security means so that it can be used in fixing bodies existing.

A cet effet, le dispositif de retenue selon l'invention est caractérisé en ce que le levier de déverrouillage est muni de deux ailes latérales s'étendant vers le bas, jusqu'à la glissière, de chaque côté de la région centrale de la glissière.To this end, the retaining device according to the invention is characterized in that the unlocking lever has two side wings extending towards the down to the slide on either side of the region center of the slide.

Des formes avantageuses de l'invention font l'objet des revendications dépendantes.Advantageous forms of the invention are the subject dependent claims.

Le levier de déverrouillage peut être une pièce distincte du verrou ou être venu d'une pièce avec le verrou.The release lever can be a part separate from the lock or come from a room with the lock.

Vu de l'arrière le levier de déverrouillage présente donc un profil en U renversé constituant un logement dans lequel un doigt peut être introduit aisément pour soulever le levier, ce profil étant cependant suffisamment étroit pour empêcher un déverrouillage non désiré. L'effet de protection peut en outre être augmenté en donnant une inclinaison aux faces latérales du levier de déverrouillage et au bord extérieur des ailes du profil. Une telle inclinaison a pour avantage d'engendrer, en cas de choc, des forces ayant tendance à plaquer le verrou contre la glissière .Seen from behind the unlocking lever present therefore an inverted U-shaped profile constituting a housing into which a finger can be easily inserted for lift the lever, this profile being however narrow enough to prevent unlocking longed for. The protective effect can also be increased by tilting the side faces the release lever and on the outside edge of the wings of the profile. The advantage of such an inclination to generate, in the event of an impact, forces tending to press the latch against the slide.

Compte tenu des tolérances de dimension admises dans la fabrication des composants de fixations de ski et nécessaires à une fabrication à un coût raisonnable, le verrou présente inévitablement un certain jeu dans la glissière. En descente, ce jeu se traduit par de légers déplacements accompagnés de bruits pouvant créer un sentiment d'instabilité. Le verrou selon l'invention permet de réduire, voire de supprimer ce jeu. En effet, si le levier de déverrouillage est venu d'une pièce avec le verrou ou s'il est monté sans jeu sur le verrou et si l'on admet que le jeu transversal entres les ailes du levier du verrou et la glissière est égal ou inférieur au jeu de l'accrochage, les ailes latérales du levier de déverrouillage étant situées à distance de la zone d'accrochage du verrou à la glissière selon la direction longitudinale de la glissière, elles ont pour effet de réduire sensiblement, voire de supprimer le jeu de l'accrochage. Ceci peut être mis en évidence géométriquement au moyen de deux triangles rectangles dont le sommet situé à l'extrémité inférieure de l'hypoténuse coïncide avec l'articulation du verrou et le petit côté opposé à ce sommet représente le jeu que l'on admet être le même pour l'accrochage et pour les ailes. En éloignant ce petit côté du sommet opposé, on constate que le jeu au niveau de l'accrochage du verrou est fortement réduit. Ce jeu peut être même totalement supprimé en utilisant une glissière présentant une région centrale surélevée et en donnant aux ailes du levier du verrou une inclinaison de telle sorte que les ailes soient divergentes et qu'elles viennent prendre appui contre les côtés de la région surélevée de la glissière. En pratique, par étampage, le profil de la région surélevée de la glissière sera trapézoïdal.Taking into account the dimensional tolerances allowed in the manufacture of ski binding components and necessary for manufacturing at a reasonable cost, the lock inevitably presents some play in the slide. Downhill, this game results in slight displacements accompanied by noises which can create a feeling of instability. The lock according to the invention allows you to reduce or even delete this game. if the release lever came in one piece with the lock or if it is mounted without play on the lock and if we admit that the transverse play between the wings of the lock lever and the slide is equal or lower than the hanging play, the side wings of the release lever being located at a distance from the area of attachment of the bolt to the slide according to the longitudinal direction of the slide, they have for effect of significantly reducing or even eliminating the hanging game. This can be highlighted geometrically by means of two right triangles whose apex located at the lower end of the hypotenuse coincides with the joint of the lock and the small side opposite this vertex represents the game that we admit to be the same for hanging and for wings. By moving this small side away from the opposite vertex, we finds that the clearance at the latching point is greatly reduced. This game can even be totally deleted using a slider with a raised central region and giving to the wings of the latch lever tilt so that the wings are divergent and they come to take leaning against the sides of the raised region of the slide. In practice, by stamping, the profile of the raised region of the slide will be trapezoidal.

Selon un autre mode d'exécution, la glissière présente deux rainures longitudinales situées de chaque côté de la région centrale et les ailes du levier du verrou sont parallèles et engagées dans lesdites rainures, la largeur de ces rainures étant sensiblement égales à l'épaisseur des ailes du verrou.According to another embodiment, the slide has two longitudinal grooves located on each side of the central region and the wings of the lock lever are parallel and engaged in said grooves, the width of these grooves being substantially equal to the thickness of the wings of the lock.

Dans ce cas, un jeu des ailes dans les rainures est inévitable, mais comme expliqué plus haut, ce jeu, du même ordre de grandeur que le jeu de l'accrochage, a pour effet de réduire le jeu de l'accrochage.In this case, a clearance of the wings in the grooves is inevitable, but as explained above, this game, same order of magnitude as the hanging game, has the effect of reducing the play of the catch.

Selon un mode d'exécution préféré de l'invention, l'articulation du verrou dans le corps du dispositif de retenue est assuré par deux pattes latérales du verrou par lesquelles le verrou est retenu et articulé sur le corps.According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, the joint of the lock in the body of the device retention is ensured by two lateral tabs of the lock by which the lock is retained and articulated on the body.

Selon un mode d'exécution préféré de l'invention, dans lequel le dispositif de retenue comprend un ressort de recul s'appuyant sur une extrémité du verrou coudée vers le haut, cette extrémité coudée présente elle-même un coude approximativement à mi-hauteur de telle sorte que le ressort de recul, s'appuie essentiellement contre une face inclinée en direction du levier du verrou de manière à créer un couple plaquant le verrou contre la glissière dans la zone d'accrochage. According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, in which the retainer includes a spring recoil resting on one end of the angled lock upwards, this bent end presents itself an elbow approximately halfway up so that the recoil spring, essentially rests against an inclined face towards the lever of the lock so as to create a couple pressing the lock against the slide in the hanging area.

Le dessin annexé représente, à titre d'exemple, un mode d'exécution de l'invention.The accompanying drawing shows, by way of example, a mode of the invention.

La figure 1 est une vue en bout, de l'arrière, d'un élément de fixation du talon d'une chaussure ou talonnière.Figure 1 is an end view, from the rear, of a fastening element for the heel of a shoe or heel.

La figure 2 est une vue en coupe axiale selon II-II de la figure 1, c'est-à-dire dans le plan de symétrie.Figure 2 is an axial sectional view along II-II of Figure 1, that is to say in the plane of symmetry.

La figure 3 est une vue en coupe selon II-II du corps de la fixation seul, c'est-à-dire sans aucun autre composant de la talonnière.Figure 3 is a sectional view along II-II of the body fixing alone, i.e. without any other component of the heel piece.

La figure 4 est une vue partielle en perspective du corps de la talonnière et du verrou, illustrant l'articulation du verrou sur le corps.Figure 4 is a partial perspective view of the body of the heel piece and the bolt, illustrating the joint of the lock on the body.

A l'exception du verrou, la talonnière représentée étant d'un type bien connu, elle ne sera pas décrite en détail.With the exception of the bolt, the heel piece shown being of a well known type, it will not be described in detail.

La talonnière représentée est essentiellement constituée d'un corps de fixation 1 et d'un agrippetalon 2 articulé autour d'un axe 3 sur le corps 1 et sollicité par un ressort de déclenchement contenu dans le corps 1.The heel piece shown is essentially consisting of a fixing body 1 and a gripper 2 articulated around an axis 3 on the body 1 and solicited by a trigger spring contained in the body 1.

.De manière à être ajustable longitudinalement, le corps 1 est monté sur une glissière 4 constituée d'un profil métallique aux bords latéraux recourbés vers l'intérieur et dans laquelle le corps 1 est engagé par deux talons 5 et 6. La glissière 4 est fixée au moyen de vis sur le ski ou sur une plaque de surélévation. Elle est entourée d'un habillage 27 en matière plastique. La glissière 4 présente, dans sa partie centrale, une bande surélevée 4a dans laquelle sont formées deux rangées de trous 7. Cette bande présente, naturellement, un profil trapézoidal dû à l'étampage. Au-dessus de la glissière 4, le corps 1 présente un dégagement 8 en forme de tunnel dans lequel est monté un verrou 9 muni de dents 10 s'engageant dans certains des trous 7 et un ressort de recul 11 travaillant en compression entre le fond 12 du dégagement 8 et le verrou 9..To be adjustable longitudinally, the body 1 is mounted on a slide 4 consisting of a profile metallic with side edges curved towards the interior and in which the body 1 is engaged by two heels 5 and 6. The slide 4 is fixed by means screws on the ski or on a raised plate. It is surrounded by a covering 27 in material plastic. Slide 4 presents, in its part central, a raised strip 4a in which are formed two rows of holes 7. This strip presents, naturally, a trapezoidal profile due to stamping. Above the slide 4, the body 1 has a clearance 8 in the form of a tunnel in which is mounted a lock 9 provided with teeth 10 engaging in certain holes 7 and a recoil spring 11 working in compression between the bottom 12 of the clearance 8 and the lock 9.

La forme du verrou 9 est clairement visible à la figure 4. Il est constitué d'une pièce métallique étampée présentant une base plane 13 sous laquelle sont formées des dents 10 et qui présente deux pattes latérales 14 et 15 servant à l'articulation du verrou 9 dans le corps 1. A cet effet, le corps 1 présente, dans les faces latérales intérieures du dégagement 8, des rainures d'accrochage 16 dans lesquels viennent s'engager les pattes 14 et 15 et dont le fond sert de paliers aux pattes 14 et 15. Du côté du ressort 11, le verrou 9 présente une partie coudée vers le haut. Cette partie coudée présente elle-même un coude 17, de telle sorte que la partie coudée forme un dièdre 18, 19 sensiblement symétrique relativement à un plan horizontal et dont l'arête est située un peu au-dessus de l'axe du ressort 11, de telle sorte que ce ressort s'appuie sur le coude 17, de manière à créer, autour de l'axe d'articulation du verrou 9, un couple qui a tendance à faire tourner le verrou 9 dans le sens des aiguilles d'une montre, figure 2, c'est-à-dire de plaquer sa partie dentée contre la glissière 4 et par conséquent à maintenir le verrou en position verrouillée.The shape of the lock 9 is clearly visible in the figure 4. It consists of a stamped metal part having a flat base 13 under which are formed teeth 10 and which has two lateral tabs 14 and 15 used for the articulation of the lock 9 in the body 1. For this purpose, the body 1 presents, in the interior side faces of clearance 8, hanging grooves 16 in which come engage lugs 14 and 15 and the bottom of which serves bearings at legs 14 and 15. On the side of spring 11, the latch 9 has a bent part upwards. This bent part itself has a bend 17, such so that the bent part forms a dihedral 18, 19 substantially symmetrical relative to a plane horizontal and whose edge is located a little above of the axis of the spring 11, so that this spring rests on the elbow 17, so as to create, around the hinge pin 9, a torque which has tendency to turn lock 9 clockwise clockwise, figure 2, i.e. press its toothed part against the slide 4 and by therefore keep the lock in position locked.

En direction de l'arrière de la talonnière, c'est-à-dire en direction de l'extérieur du corps 1, le levier 9 présente une partie surélevée 20 s'étendant au-dessus de la glissière et formant un levier pour le dégagement des dents 10 de leurs logements 7. Ce levier 20 est muni de deux ailes latérales 21 et 22 s'étendant vers le bas, parallèlement à l'axe longitudinal de la glissière. Ces ailes 21, 22 sont légèrement inclinées vers l'extérieur de telle sorte que le levier 20 et ses ailes 21 et 22 forment un profil trapézoïdal clairement visible à la figure 1. L'écartement des ailes 21 et 22 à leur racine est inférieur à la largeur de la partie centrale surélevée 4a de la glissière 4 tandis que l'écartement des ailes 21 et 22 à leurs extrémités est légèrement supérieur à la largeur de la face supérieure de la zone centrale 4a. On relèvera en outre que les ailes 21 et 22 sont distantes des dents 10, c'est-à-dire de la zone d'accrochage du verrou à la glissière.Towards the back of the heel, i.e. towards the outside of the body 1, the lever 9 has a raised portion 20 extending above of the slide and forming a lever for the release teeth 10 of their housings 7. This lever 20 is provided with two lateral wings 21 and 22 extending towards the bottom, parallel to the longitudinal axis of the slide. These wings 21, 22 are slightly inclined outward so that lever 20 and its wings 21 and 22 form a clearly trapezoidal profile visible in Figure 1. The spacing of the wings 21 and 22 at their root is less than the width of the part raised central 4a of the slide 4 while the spacing of the wings 21 and 22 at their ends is slightly greater than the width of the upper face of the central zone 4a. It should also be noted that the wings 21 and 22 are distant from teeth 10, that is to say from the latching area of the lock to the slide.

Sous la poussée du ressort 11, la partie dentée du verrou 9 est non seulement plaquée contre la glissière 4, mais les ailes 21 et 22 du levier 20 s'appuient sur les côtés inclinés de la zone centrale surélevée 4a de la glissière 4, de telle sorte que le levier 20 est appliqué sans jeu latéral sur la glissière 4. Under the thrust of the spring 11, the toothed part of the lock 9 is not only pressed against the slide 4, but the wings 21 and 22 of the lever 20 are based on the inclined sides of the raised central zone 4a of the slide 4, so that the lever 20 is applied without lateral play on the slide 4.

En outre, le bord extérieur, relativement au corps 1, 23, 24, des ailes 21 et 22 est incliné de bas en haut en direction des dents 10, c'est-à-dire de la zone d'accrochage, de telle manière qu'un choc sur ces bords, par exemple un coup de carre d'un ski ou lors du chargement sur une télécabine, ne risque pas de soulever le levier 20 et par conséquent de déverrouiller le verrou 9, mais a, au contraire, tendance à plaquer le verrou contre la glissière.In addition, the outer edge, relative to the body 1, 23, 24, wings 21 and 22 is tilted from bottom to top in the direction of teeth 10, i.e. the area hooking, so that a shock on these edges, for example a edge of a ski or when loading on a cable car, does not risk lift lever 20 and therefore unlock the lock 9, but has, on the contrary, tendency to press the lock against the slide.

Dans le cas où les faces latérales de la zone surélevée 4a de la glissière seraient perpendiculaires au plan de la glissière, les ailes 21 et 22 s'appuieraient sur les arêtes formées par les bords de la zone surélevée.In the case where the side faces of the raised area 4a of the slide would be perpendicular to the plane of the slide, the wings 21 and 22 would rest on the edges formed by the edges of the raised area.

La glissière 4 pourrait ne pas présenter de zone centrale surélevée. Dans ce cas, il convient de prévoir deux rainures longitudinales s'étendant de chaque côté de la zone centrale perforée ou dentée et les ailes 22 et 23, qui pourraient être parallèles, et dont l'épaisseur serait sensiblement égale à la largeur des rainures, s'engageraient dans ces rainures avec un jeu inhérent aux tolérances de fabrication. Si ce jeu est du même ordre de grandeur que le jeu des dents 10 dans les trous 7, le jeu du verrou dans la glissière est réduit pour les raisons géométriques exposées plus haut.Slide 4 may not have a zone raised central. In this case, provision should be made two longitudinal grooves extending on each side of the perforated or toothed central zone and the wings 22 and 23, which could be parallel, and of which the thickness would be substantially equal to the width of the grooves, would engage in these grooves with a clearance inherent in manufacturing tolerances. If this game is of the same order of magnitude as the set of teeth 10 in the holes 7, the play of the bolt in the slide is reduced for the geometric reasons explained more high.

Les ailes 22 et 23 on également pour effet d'empêcher un actionnement intempestif du verrou par le choc latéral d'un objet. L'inclinaison des ailes a également pour effet, en cas de choc latéral, d'obtenir une force qui a tendance à plaquer les ailes contre la glissière.The wings 22 and 23 also have the effect of preventing accidental actuation of the lock by impact side of an object. The inclination of the wings also the effect, in the event of a side impact, of obtaining a force which tends to press the wings against the slide.

La glissière pourrait présenter tout autre profil, par exemple un profil tel que représenté dans le modèle d'utilité DE 295 20 845.The slide could have any other profile, for example example a profile as shown in the model utility DE 295 20 845.

Au lieu de trous, la glissière pourrait présenter une crémaillère, par exemple une crémaillère telle que représentée dans le modèle d'utilité DE 295 20 845. Le verrou pourrait présenter des trous coopérant avec des dents ou une crémaillère de la glissière.Instead of holes, the slide could have a rack, for example a rack such as shown in the utility model DE 295 20 845. The lock could have holes cooperating with teeth or a slide rack.

Le dispositif selon l'invention est bien entendu applicable à un élément de fixation de l'avant de la chaussure,The device according to the invention is of course applicable to a fastener on the front of the shoe,

Le levier de déverrouillage pourrait être une pièce distincte du verrou, fixée sur le verrou ou articulée sur le verrou et prenant appui sur la glissière.The release lever could be a part separate from the lock, fixed on the lock or articulated on the latch and bearing on the slide.
