Description

L'invention a pour objet un dispositif de fixation de surf à neige. Elle est plus particulièrement relative à une amélioration des moyens de réglage de sa position angulaire.The invention relates to a snowboard fixing device. She is more particularly relating to an improvement in the means for adjusting its angular position.

Les fixations concernant une chaussure sur surf à neige sont connues, notamment par les brevets ou demandes de brevets suivants : FR 2 743 306, FR 2 726 480, FR 2 627 097, EP 0 761 261, EP 0 285 558, US 5 584 492.The bindings relating to a shoe on snowboard are known, in particular by patents or following patent applications: FR 2 743 306, FR 2 726 480, FR 2 627 097, EP 0 761 261, EP 0 285 558, US 5,584,492.

Dans la demande de brevet FR 2 743 306, il est décrit une fixation qui permet à l'utilisateur de choisir à sa convenance la position angulaire de ses pieds. Le dispositif de fixation comporte une platine destinée à recevoir et maintenir une chaussure, ladite platine présentant une ouverture circulaire dentée. La platine est maintenue sur le surf par un pivot comportant deux coulisseaux présentant une denture correspondant à celle de la platine et destinée à venir s'encliqueter dans la denture de cette dernière pour l'immobiliser dans une position déterminée. La commande des coulisseaux se fait au moyen d'un levier disposé au centre de la fixation, c'est-à-dire sous le pied de l'utilisateur. Cette disposition implique que pour changer la position angulaire de la fixation l'utilisateur doit quitter la fixation. De plus dans cette fixation, la platine est directement posée sur la surface du surf ce qui est peut être un inconvénient, des gravillons ou autres pouvant se glisser entre la platine et le surf et gêner ainsi son mouvement.In patent application FR 2 743 306, a fixing is described which allows the user to choose the angular position of his feet at his convenience. The fixing device comprises a plate intended to receive and maintain a shoe, said plate having an opening toothed circular. The plate is held on the surf by a pivot comprising two slides having a toothing corresponding to that of the plate and intended to snap into the teeth of the latter to immobilize it in a determined position. The order of runners are made by means of a lever placed in the center of the binding, i.e. under the foot of the user. This arrangement implies that to change the angular position of the attachment the user must leave the binding. In addition, in this fixing, the plate is placed directly on the surface of the surf which can be a disadvantage, gravel or other can be slide between the plate and the surf and thus hinder its movement.

La demande de brevet FR 2 627 797 décrit une fixation semblable à celle de la demande FR 2 743 306, mais un peu moins bonne en ce qui a trait à la protection de la denture de la platine.Patent application FR 2 627 797 describes a fixation similar to that of application FR 2 743,306, but a little less good as regards the protection of the toothing of the plate.

Le certificat d'utilité FR 2 726 480 divulgue un dispositif de fixation comportant notamment un dispositif de verrouillage permettant de changer de position sans avoir besoin de quitter la fixation. Dans cette réalisation, l'organe de verrouillage est constitué par un doigt coopérant avec une piste comportant des ouvertures. Cette disposition de part sa conception limite les possibilités de réglage et de plus, comme la piste ne s'étend pas sur le pourtour complet de l'embase, il ne sera pas possible qu'un gaucher et un droitier puisse utiliser la fixation sans que cette dernière soit réinstallée.The utility certificate FR 2 726 480 discloses a fastening device comprising in particular a locking device allowing to change position without having to leave the fixation. In this embodiment, the locking member is constituted by a finger cooperating with a track with openings. This provision due to its design limits the adjustment possibilities and more, as the track does not extend over the entire perimeter of the base, it will not be possible for a left-handed and right-handed person to use the fixing without the latter be reinstalled.

L'enseignement apporté par le document EP 0 761 261, nous apprend que la fixation peut être constituée d'un disque central ou pivot comportant une denture horizontale ou verticale d'une platine mobile en rotation autour dudit pivot, des leviers étant en prise avec la dite denture de manière à immobiliser la platine dans une position déterminée. Dans cette réalisation rien n'a été prévu pour protéger la denture.The teaching provided by document EP 0 761 261 teaches us that the fixation can be consisting of a central or pivot disc with a horizontal or vertical toothing of a movable plate rotating around said pivot, levers being engaged with said toothing so as to immobilize the plate in a determined position. In this realization nothing has been intended to protect the teeth.

Dans le document EP 0 285 558, il est décrit une fixation de surf à neige simplifiée. En effet, cette dernière est constituée par une couronne présentant une denture intérieure fixée directement sur la surface du surf à l'intérieur de laquelle est disposé mobile en rotation un noyau central faisant partie de la platine. Le noyau central étant maintenu sur le surf par une seconde couronne fixée sur la première et présentant une largeur sensiblement supérieure. Un coulisseau à l'intérieur dudit noyau est maintenu en permanence en prise avec la denture de la première couronne de manière à fixer la platine dans une position déterminée. Cette réalisation n'est pas sûr ou alors il est très difficile de modifier la position angulaire de la platine. En effet, le coulisseau est maintenu dans sa position en prise par un ressort, si ce dernier n'est pas assez fort la fixation se décrochera ou si ce dernier est suffisamment fort il ne sera pas possible de le repousser pour changer l'angle d'orientation de la platine.In document EP 0 285 558, a simplified snowboard binding is described. Indeed, the latter is constituted by a crown having an internal toothing fixed directly on the surface of the surfboard inside which is disposed rotatably a central core being part of the deck. The central core being held on the surf by a second crown attached to the first and having a substantially greater width. A slide to the interior of said core is kept permanently engaged with the teeth of the first crown so as to fix the plate in a determined position. This achievement is not safe or it is very difficult to change the angular position of the plate. Indeed, the slide is held in its engaged position by a spring, if the latter is not strong enough the attachment will come off or if the latter is strong enough it will not be possible to push back to change the orientation angle of the plate.

Le dispositif de fixation selon l'invention a pour buts de fournir un dispositif de fixation d'une chaussure sur un surf à neige ne présentant pas les défauts relevés ci-devant, c'est-à-dire une fixation présentant une rigidité accrue avec de meilleures conditions de protection pour son mécanisme dans les meilleures conditions de coût et mécaniquement plus fiable. La force rotative produite par l'effort de conduite lors de l'utilisation ne repousse pas le ressort de tenue du levier mais au contraire agi sur la denture jusqu'à déformation du matériel.The purpose of the fixing device according to the invention is to provide a device for fixing a shoe on a snowboard that does not have the faults noted above, that is to say a binding with increased rigidity with better protection conditions for its mechanism in the best cost conditions and mechanically more reliable. Strength rotary produced by the driving force during use does not push back the holding spring lever but on the contrary acted on the teeth until the material is deformed.

Le dispositif de fixation d'une chaussure sur un surf à neige selon l'invention défini à la revendication 1 atteint les buts spécifiés ci-devant.The device for attaching a shoe to a snowboard according to the invention defined in claim 1 achieves the goals specified above.

L'invention sera mieux comprise et ses caractéristiques et ses avantages apparaítront plus clairement à la lecture de la description d'une forme d'exécution donnée uniquement à titre d'exemple en regard des dessins sur lesquels :

  • La figure 1 représente une vue schématique en perspective éclatée d'une réalisation du dispositif selon l'invention,
  • La figure 2 représente une vue en plan du dispositif représenté à la figure 1,
  • Les figures 3 et 4 représentent deux coupes du dispositif de la figure 1, respectivement en position verrouillée et en position déverrouillée.
    • The invention will be better understood and its characteristics and advantages will appear more clearly on reading the description of an embodiment given solely by way of example with reference to the drawings in which:
  • FIG. 1 represents a schematic exploded perspective view of an embodiment of the device according to the invention,
  • FIG. 2 represents a plan view of the device represented in FIG. 1,
  • Figures 3 and 4 show two sections of the device of Figure 1, respectively in the locked position and in the unlocked position.

    • Dans toutes les figures les différents éléments constituant le dispositif ont été désignés par les mêmes signes de référence.In all the figures the various elements constituting the device have been designated by the same reference signs.

    Comme on peut le voir sur la figure 1 un dispositif selon l'invention comprend une embase 2 destinée à être fixée sur la surface 20 (voir figure 3) du surf dénommé aussi planche à neige (pour plus de détails sur les surfs ou planches à neige quant à leurs caractéristiques et à la manière de les utiliser on consultera avantageusement le document FR 2 743 306). Cette embase est de forme circulaire et comporte une gorge circulaire 6 en forme de U anguleux, c'est-à-dire un U avec une base plate et deux branches montantes 17 et 25.
    La branche externe 25 présente sur sa paroi externe une denture 7, dans la forme d'exécution représentée la denture 7 est une denture conique, dont le sommet du cône se trouve sur l'axe 24 avec un angle au sommet compris entre 40° et 90°. Dans une variante il est prévu que la denture est torique, c'est-à-dire est inscrite à l'intérieur d'un secteur de tore. La denture dans tout son pourtour est couverte par un rebord 22 qui empêche la neige ou des impuretés de se déposer sur les dents et d'altérer la préhension du levier de blocage 10. L'embase 2 comprend encore une ouverture centrale 9 destinée au centrage du capuchon ou pivot 3, et des perçages 8 destinés à recevoir des vis permettant de la fixer sur la surface du surf 20 (fig 3 et 4). Ces vis passent à travers les perçages 19 du capuchon ou pivot 3 de manière à fixer ce dernier avec l'embase 2.    As can be seen in FIG. 1, a device according to the invention comprises a base 2 intended to be fixed on the surface 20 (see FIG. 3) of the surf also called snowboard (for more details on the surfboards or snow as to their characteristics and the manner of using them, advantageously consult the document FR 2 743 306). This base is circular in shape and has a circular groove 6 in the form of an angular U, that is to say a U with a flat base and two rising branches 17 and 25.
    The external branch 25 has on its external wall a toothing 7, in the embodiment shown the toothing 7 is a conical toothing, the apex of the cone is on the axis 24 with an apex angle between 40 ° and 90 °. In a variant, it is provided that the toothing is toroidal, that is to say is inscribed inside a toroid sector. The toothing in its entire periphery is covered by a flange 22 which prevents snow or impurities from settling on the teeth and from altering the grip of the locking lever 10. The base 2 also includes a central opening 9 intended for centering of the cap or pivot 3, and of the holes 8 intended to receive screws making it possible to fix it to the surface of the surf 20 (FIGS. 3 and 4). These screws pass through the holes 19 of the cap or pivot 3 so as to fix the latter with the base 2.

    Le dispositif comprend aussi une platine 1, qui présente une partie 21 en forme de couronne, visible sur les figures 3 et 4, destinée à être disposée dans la gorge 6 de l'embase 2 et une bordure de protection 22.The device also comprises a plate 1, which has a part 21 in the form of a crown, visible in Figures 3 and 4, intended to be disposed in the groove 6 of the base 2 and a protective edge 22.

    L'embase 2 présente en son centre une ouverture 16 dont la paroi constitue la face interne de la partie 21 en forme de couronne, qui est destinée à venir en appui contre la branche interne 17 de la gorge en forme de U. Tandis que la face externe de la partie 21 en forme de couronne viendra en appui contre la branche externe 25 de la gorge en forme de U. Cette disposition permet à la platine d'avoir un mouvement que l'on peut qualifier de mécanique relativement à l'embase. En effet la platine peut tourner pratiquement sans frottement. Dans la forme d'exécution représentée la platine 1 comporte une pièce 23 qui est une partie des éléments nécessaires au maintien de la chaussure. Dans le cas présent ces éléments appartiennent à une fixation dite à chaussage automatique ou « step-in ». La pièce 23 comprend des perçages 14 destinés à permettre sa fixation sur la platine, par exemple aux moyens de vis non représentées. Elle comporte aussi des parties verticales 15 sur lesquelles viendront se fixer les autres éléments de la fixation « step-in ». Il est bien entendu que la platine pourrait être conçue pour recevoir d'autres éléments connus permettant de maintenir la chaussure sur la platine, comme par exemple une coque.The base 2 has in its center an opening 16 whose wall constitutes the internal face of the part 21 in the form of a crown, which is intended to come into abutment against the internal branch 17 of the U-shaped groove. While the outer face of the crown-shaped part 21 will come resting against the outer branch 25 of the U-shaped groove. This arrangement allows the platinum to have a movement that can be described as mechanical relative to the base. In indeed the stage can turn practically without friction. In the embodiment shown the plate 1 comprises a part 23 which is a part of the elements necessary for maintaining the shoe. In the present case, these elements belong to a so-called shoe binding. automatic or "step-in". The part 23 includes holes 14 intended to allow its attachment to the plate, for example by means of screws not shown. It also includes vertical parts 15 on which the other elements of the step-in fixing will be fixed ". It is understood that the plate could be designed to receive other elements known to maintain the shoe on the plate, such as a shell.

    La platine 1 qui est de forme oblongue présente sur un de ses grands côté un logement 18 destiné à recevoir un levier 4. Ce levier 4 présente deux bras, un premier bras 10 comportant à son extrémité une denture correspondante à la denture 7 disposée sur la partie extérieure de la branche 25 dudit U de l'embase 2, et un deuxième bras 11 formant organe de commande.
    Le levier 4 est articulé autour d'un axe 12 matérialisé par une pièce 13 disposée sur un élément 5 destiné à être fixé dans le logement 18.    The plate 1 which is oblong has on one of its long sides a housing 18 intended to receive a lever 4. This lever 4 has two arms, a first arm 10 having at its end a toothing corresponding to the toothing 7 arranged on the external part of the branch 25 of said U of the base 2, and a second arm 11 forming a control member.
    The lever 4 is articulated around an axis 12 materialized by a part 13 disposed on an element 5 intended to be fixed in the housing 18.

    On va maintenant expliquer le fonctionnement du dispositif en regard des figures 3 et 4. Les figures 3 et 4 représentent une coupe selon A-A sur la figure 1. Sur la figure 3 le dispositif est en position verrouillée, tandis que sur la figure 4 le dispositif est en position déverrouillée par abaissement de l'organe de manoeuvre 11. La dentition 10 libère en rotation la couronne dentée 7 solidaire de l'embase 2, qui permet à l'utilisateur de tourner à volonté la platine 1. En relâchant l'organe de manoeuvre 11 lorsque l'angle désiré est atteint le levier 10 fixe la position choisie. Pour l'usage en location, l'organe de manoeuvre 11 peut être supprimé. Le réglage s'effectuera au moyen d'un objet tel qu'une tige appropriée que l'on introduit dans un percement aménagé dans le levier 4. Ce dans le but d'éviter des réglages intempestifs.We will now explain the operation of the device with reference to Figures 3 and 4. The Figures 3 and 4 show a section along A-A in Figure 1. In Figure 3 the device is locked position, while in FIG. 4 the device is in the unlocked position by lowering the operating member 11. The teeth 10 release the toothed crown 7 in rotation integral with the base 2, which allows the user to turn the plate 1 as desired. By releasing the operating member 11 when the desired angle is reached the lever 10 fixes the chosen position. For rental use, the operating member 11 can be omitted. The adjustment will be made by means of an object such as an appropriate rod which is introduced into a fitted hole in lever 4. This is to avoid untimely adjustments.

    La fixation selon l'invention peut être réalisée en métal léger par exemple en alliage d'aluminium ou en matière synthétique de résistance appropriée.The fixing according to the invention can be made of light metal, for example of alloy aluminum or synthetic material of appropriate strength.

    Comme il va de soit, l'invention ne se limite pas à la seule forme d'exécution de cette fixation de surf, qui a été décrite ci-devant à titre d'exemple, mais embrasse toutes les variantes d'exécution, que l'homme de l'art pourrait y apporter notamment en ce qui a trait à la forme de l'embase des plaques ou de la matière utilisée pour la réalisation.It goes without saying that the invention is not limited to the sole embodiment of this fixing of surf, which has been described above by way of example, but embraces all of the variant embodiments, that a person skilled in the art could bring to it, in particular as regards the shape of the base of the plates or material used for the realization.
