Abstract
Description
L'invention se rattache au domaine des sports de glisse sur neige, et plus précisément à celui du surf des neiges. Elle concerne plus particulièrement les fixations destinées à être montées sur des planches de surf, dont la conception les rend particulièrement ergonomiques.The invention relates to the field of snow sliding sports, and more precisely to that of snowboarding. It concerns more particularly the bindings to be mounted on surfboards, the design of which makes it particularly ergonomic.
Il existe de nombreux types de fixations de surf, chaque type étant plus spécifiquement adapté à une pratique particulière.There are many types of surf bindings, each type being more specifically adapted to a particular practice.
Ainsi, en ce qui concerne le surf dit "artistique", plus communément connu sous l'appellation de "free style", on utilise des chaussures relativement souples permettant à l'utilisateur une grande liberté de mouvements, autorisant de fortes angulations du tibia par rapport au pied. Ses qualités sont particulièrement appréciées pour la pratique du surf dans des pistes hémicylindriques plus connues sous le nom de "half pipe".Thus, with regard to so-called "artistic" surfing, more commonly known under the name of "free style", we use relatively soft shoes allowing the user great freedom of movement, allowing strong angulations of the tibia relative to the foot. His qualities are particularly appreciated for the practice of surfing in more well known hemicylindrical tracks under the name of "half pipe".
Grâce à la souplesse de ses chaussures, le surfeur peut adopter des positions particulièrement inclinées par rapport à la planche.Thanks to the flexibility of his shoes, the surfer can adopt positions particularly inclined relative to the board.
La relative souplesse des chaussures permet également une bonne perception des sensations en provenance de la planche.The relative flexibility of the shoes also allows a good perception sensations from the board.
L'emploi de telles chaussures souples nécessite d'utiliser des fixations qui présentent une certaine rigidité, notamment pour résister aux appuis orientés vers l'arrière.The use of such soft shoes requires the use of fasteners that have a certain rigidity, in particular to withstand the supports oriented towards the rear.
Ainsi, de telles fixations présentent une embase de montage sur la planche, et une tuile arrière formant une gouttière destinée à recevoir l'arrière de la tige de la chaussure de l'utilisateur. Une telle gouttière peut s'étendre jusqu'à mi-hauteur du mollet. Thus, such fasteners have a mounting base on the board, and a rear tile forming a gutter for receiving the back of the stem of the shoe of the user. Such a gutter can extend up to half the height of calf.
Pour des raisons d'encombrement, la majorité des fixations de ce type présentent une gouttière qui est montée de façon articulée par rapport à l'embase, ce qui permet de la rabattre en direction de la planche, pour le transport.For reasons of space, the majority of fasteners of this type have a gutter which is hingedly mounted relative to the base, which makes it possible to fold it in the direction of the board, for the transport.
Le document DE-U-91 13766.7 décrit une telle fixation. Cette fixation est équipée de deux butées symétriques disposées sur la gouttière, et destinées à limiter l'inclinaison de la gouttière vers l'arrière. Ces butées sont réglables en hauteur pour adapter la position la plus arrière de la gouttière aux souhaits de l'utilisateur.DE-U-91 13766.7 describes such a fixation. This fixation is equipped with two symmetrical stops arranged on the gutter, and intended to limit the inclination of the gutter to the rear. These stops are adjustable in height for adapt the rearmost position of the gutter to the wishes of the user.
On conçoit que la position verticale de la gouttière n'est pas optimale pour la prise des appuis lorsque la jambe est légèrement inclinée par rapport à une position perpendiculaire à la planche.It is conceivable that the vertical position of the gutter is not optimal for the taking the supports when the leg is slightly inclined with respect to a position perpendicular to the board.
Ceci est particulièrement sensible dans la pratique du surf dit "artistique", dans laquelle le surfeur adopte, dans certaines phases, une position très décalée par rapport à la position normale.This is particularly noticeable in the practice of so-called "artistic" surfing, in which the surfer adopts, in certain phases, a position very out of step with compared to the normal position.
Un problème que se propose de résoudre l'invention est celui de la rigidité de la fixation, et son incompatibilité avec la nécessité d'optimiser l'inclinaison des jambes par rapport à la planche.A problem to be solved by the invention is that of the rigidity of fixation, and its incompatibility with the need to optimize the inclination of legs relative to the board.
L'invention concerne donc une fixation de surf comportant:
- une embase présentant une face inférieure destinée à être solidarisée à la planche ;
- une gouttière arrière destinée à recevoir l'arrière de la chaussure de l'utilisateur, ladite gouttière présentant un plan médian.
- a base having a lower face intended to be secured to the board;
- a rear gutter for receiving the rear of the user's shoe, said gutter having a median plane.
Cette fixation se caractérise en ce qu'elle comporte des moyens aptes à régler l'inclinaison du plan médian de la gouttière par rapport à la face inférieure de l'embase.This attachment is characterized in that it comprises means capable of adjusting the inclination of the median plane of the gutter with respect to the lower face of the base.
Autrement dit, la gouttière de cette fixation est orientable latéralement de manière à régler l'inclinaison de la jambe par rapport à la planche, selon le mouvement communément appelé dans le domaine du surf sous l'appellation de "canting". In other words, the gutter of this attachment is laterally adjustable from way to adjust the inclination of the leg relative to the board, according to the commonly known movement in the field of surfing under the name of "Canting".
Ainsi, contrairement à des fixations classiques dans lesquelles le plan de symétrie de la gouttière, qui inclut l'axe de la jambe, est perpendiculaire à l'embase et donc à la planche, les fixations conformes à l'invention permettent à la gouttière, et donc à la jambe, de s'écarter de la perpendiculaire, ce qui s'avère particulièrement ergonomique, notamment dans certaines pratiques de "free style".Thus, unlike conventional fasteners in which the plane of symmetry of the gutter, which includes the axis of the leg, is perpendicular to the base and therefore to the board, the fasteners according to the invention allow the gutter, and therefore to the leg, to deviate from the perpendicular, which turns out particularly ergonomic, especially in certain "free style" practices.
Ainsi, grâce à cette disposition, la position de la jambe est optimale pour le surfeur qui bénéficie de la rigidité de la gouttière de la fixation pour prendre des appuis vers l'arrière en particulier.Thus, thanks to this arrangement, the position of the leg is optimal for the surfer who enjoys the rigidity of the gutter fixation to take back supports in particular.
L'invention couvre toutes sortes de conception de fixations et par exemple celles dans lesquelles la gouttière est montée de façon rigide par rapport à l'embase, ou bien encore de façon préférée celles dans lesquelles la gouttière présente une capacité de pivotement par rapport à l'embase, perpendiculairement à son plan médian de symétrie.The invention covers all kinds of fastener design and for example those in which the gutter is mounted rigidly relative to the base, or even more preferably those in which the gutter has a pivoting capacity relative to the base, perpendicular to its plane median of symmetry.
En effet, pour des raisons d'encombrement, il est préférable que la gouttière soit mobile, et puisse être rabattue sur l'embase lorsque la fixation est déchaussée.Indeed, for reasons of space, it is preferable that the gutter is mobile, and can be folded on the base when the attachment is off.
Dans ce cas de figure, les moyens aptes à régler l'inclinaison de la gouttière par rapport à l'embase sont constitués par une pluralité de positions de l'axe de pivotement de la gouttière par rapport à l'embase.In this case, the means able to adjust the inclination of the gutter relative to the base are constituted by a plurality of positions of the axis of pivoting of the gutter relative to the base.
En effet, en autorisant une multiplicité de positions de cet axe, et plus précisément de son inclinaison par rapport au plan de la planche, on permet au plan de symétrie d'adopter plusieurs orientations s'écartant de la perpendiculaire à la planche.Indeed, by allowing a multiplicity of positions of this axis, and more precisely of its inclination with respect to the plane of the board, the plan is of symmetry to adopt several orientations deviating from the perpendicular to the board.
Dans une première forme de réalisation, l'embase comporte une pluralité de logements aptes à recevoir des doigts montés sur la gouttière, lesdits doigts servant d'axe de pivotement de la gouttière par rapport à l'embase. In a first embodiment, the base comprises a plurality of housings adapted to receive fingers mounted on the channel, said fingers serving pivot axis of the gutter relative to the base.
Une série de logements peut être ménagée soit d'un côté seulement de l'embase, soit des deux côtés, de manière à permettre des inclinaisons de part et d'autre de la verticale. Ces logements peuvent être agencés verticalement, les uns au-dessus des autres, ou bien encore selon un axe légèrement incliné par rapport à la verticale.A series of dwellings may be provided on one side only of the base, or on both sides, so as to allow tilting of sides and other of the vertical. These housings can be arranged vertically, one above the others, or on a slightly inclined axis with respect to the vertical.
Dans une autre forme de réalisation, la fixation comporte une pièce de liaison coopérant avec l'embase et la gouttière. Cette pièce de liaison est montée avec capacité de pivotement par rapport à l'embase autour d'un premier axe. Cette pièce de liaison est également apte à adopter par rapport à la gouttière, une pluralité de positions se déduisant les unes des autres par pivotement autour d'un second axe, le premier et le second axes de pivotement étant décalés spatialement.In another embodiment, the fastener comprises a connecting piece cooperating with the base and the gutter. This connecting piece is mounted with pivoting capacity relative to the base around a first axis. This piece link is also suitable for adopting a plurality of positions derived from each other by pivoting about a second axis, the first and second pivot axes being spatially offset.
Autrement dit, la fixation inclut un élément apte à pivoter, à la fois par rapport à l'embase et par rapport à la gouttière, cet élément formant un excentrique de telle sorte que son pivotement par rapport à la gouttière décale la position de l'axe de pivotement de la gouttière par rapport à l'embase, modifiant par là-même l'inclinaison de l'axe de pivotement de la gouttière.In other words, the attachment includes an element capable of pivoting, both by relative to the base and relative to the gutter, this element forming an eccentric so that its pivoting relative to the gutter shifts the position of the pivot axis of the gutter relative to the base, thereby modifying the inclination of the pivot axis of the gutter.
La fixation peut comporter un seul élément excentrique situé d'un côté de la fixation, ou bien encore deux éléments excentriques coopérant avec l'embase et la gouttière de chaque côté de la fixation, pour permettre un réglage de l'inclinaison du plan de symétrie de la gouttière de part et d'autre de la perpendiculaire à la planche.The fastener may comprise a single eccentric element located on one side of the fixation, or else two eccentric elements cooperating with the base and the gutter on each side of the binding, to allow adjustment of the inclination of the plane of symmetry of the gutter on both sides of the perpendicular to the board.
Cette pièce de liaison formant excentrique peut être située soit sur le côté extérieur de l'embase, soit sur la face interne de la gouttière, soit encore entre la gouttière et l'embase.This eccentric connecting piece can be located on the side outside the base, either on the inner face of the gutter, or between the gutter and the base.
En pratique, la pièce de liaison présente une zone en relief apte à s'encastrer dans un logement complémentaire de la gouttière.In practice, the connecting piece has an area in relief suitable for embedding in a housing complementary to the gutter.
De la sorte, en fonction de la position de cette zone en relief dans le logement de la gouttière, la position de l'axe de pivotement de l'excentrique par rapport à l'embase est modifiée. Le pivotement de l'excentrique à l'intérieur du logement de la gouttière peut s'effectuer de façon continue, ou bien encore de façon discrète. In this way, depending on the position of this area in relief in the housing of the gutter, the position of the pivot axis of the eccentric relative to the base is modified. The pivoting of the eccentric inside the housing of the gutter can be carried out continuously, or even discreetly.
Dans ce cas, la zone en relief peut comporter une pluralité de lobes identiques, distribués sur cette périphérie, le logement de la gouttière présentant alors une pluralité de zones en creux de profil complémentaire à ces lobes.In this case, the area in relief may comprise a plurality of lobes identical, distributed on this periphery, the housing of the gutter presenting then a plurality of recessed areas of profile complementary to these lobes.
Le nombre de lobes détermine le nombre de positions que peut adopter l'excentrique par rapport à la gouttière, et donc la précision du réglage du canting.The number of lobes determines the number of positions that can be adopted the eccentric with respect to the gutter, and thus the precision of the tuning of the canting.
Avantageusement en pratique, la pièce de liaison peut être solidarisée à la gouttière soit par des moyens de vissage, ou bien encore de façon temporaire par un mécanisme de came actionné par un levier escamotable, permettant la modification de l'inclinaison sans démontage ni l'utilisation d'un outil particulier.Advantageously in practice, the connecting piece can be secured to the gutter either by means of screwing, or even temporarily by a cam mechanism actuated by a retractable lever, allowing the modification of the inclination without disassembly or the use of a particular tool.
La manière de réaliser l'invention, ainsi que les avantages qui en découlent
ressortiront bien de la description des modes de réalisation qui suivent, à l'appui
des figures annexées dans lesquelles :
L'invention concerne une fixation de surf (1), qui comprend de façon connue une embase (2) et une gouttière (3).The invention relates to a surf binding (1) which comprises in a known manner a base (2) and a gutter (3).
Plus précisément, embase (2) présente une face inférieure (4), qui est destinée à venir au contact de la planche, éventuellement par l'intermédiaire d'une plate-forme permettant d'orienter la fixation par rapport à l'axe longitudinal de la planche.More specifically, base (2) has a lower face (4), which is intended to come into contact with the board, possibly via a platform to orient the attachment relative to the longitudinal axis of the board.
Une telle embase (2) comporte donc une platine (5) sensiblement parallèle à la face supérieure de la planche, et deux flancs latéraux (7, 8) se prolongeant à l'arrière par un arceau (9).Such a base (2) thus comprises a plate (5) substantially parallel to the upper face of the board, and two lateral flanks (7, 8) extending to the back by a bow (9).
Néanmoins, d'autres architectures peuvent également être adoptées, sans sortir du cadre de l'invention.Nevertheless, other architectures can also be adopted without depart from the scope of the invention.
La figure 1 ne représente pas les moyens d'accrochage de la chaussure sur la fixation proprement dite, puisque de multiples solutions peuvent être employées sans interférer avec le principe de l'invention.FIG. 1 does not represent the attachment means of the shoe on the fixation itself, since multiple solutions can be used without interfering with the principle of the invention.
La fixation (1) comporte donc, reliée à l'embase, une gouttière (3), remontant sensiblement à la mi-hauteur de la jambe, et destinée à former une tuile recevant l'arrière de la botte de l'utilisateur.The binding (1) therefore comprises, connected to the base, a gutter (3), going up substantially at the mid-height of the leg, and intended to form a tile receiving the back of the user's boot.
De façon générale, de telles fixations sont destinées à servir pour les pieds droit ou gauche indifféremment, de sorte qu'elles présentent une symétrie par rapport au plan médian longitudinal, au moins en ce qui concerne la partie coopérant avec l'arrière de la chaussure. In general, such fasteners are intended to be used for the feet right or left indifferently, so that they present a symmetry by relative to the longitudinal median plane, at least as regards the cooperating with the back of the shoe.
Ainsi, l'embase (2) et la gouttière (3) présentent elles-mêmes un plan médian
de symétrie (10) qui, comme illustré à la figure 2a, se trouve perpendiculaire à la
face inférieure (4) de embase (2), et donc perpendiculaire à la planche de glisse.
Cette disposition correspond à l'orientation existant sur les fixations de l'Art
antérieur.Thus, the base (2) and the trough (3) themselves have a median plane of symmetry (10) which, as shown in Figure 2a, is perpendicular to the lower face (4) of the base (2). , and therefore perpendicular to the gliding board.
This arrangement corresponds to the existing orientation on the fasteners of the prior art.
Néanmoins, l'invention ne se limite pas aux fixations symétriques, mais couvre également des fixations qui présentent une géométrie asymétrique, et notamment une gouttière asymétrique.Nevertheless, the invention is not limited to symmetrical fixings, but also covers fasteners that have asymmetrical geometry, and especially an asymmetrical gutter.
Conformément à une caractéristique essentielle de l'invention, la fixation est telle qu'elle comporte des moyens permettant de régler l'inclinaison du plan médian (10) de la gouttière (3) par rapport à la face inférieure (4) de l'embase (2).According to an essential characteristic of the invention, the attachment is such that it comprises means for adjusting the inclination of the median plane (10) of the gutter (3) relative to the lower face (4) of the base (2).
Ainsi, la fixation illustrée à la figure 2a peut, grâce à cette disposition, se retrouver dans la géométrie illustrée à la figure 2b, dans laquelle la gouttière (3) est légèrement inclinée par rapport à la verticale.Thus, the fixation illustrated in FIG. 2a can, thanks to this arrangement, be find in the geometry illustrated in Figure 2b, in which the gutter (3) is slightly inclined to the vertical.
Les fixations illustrées dans les figures annexées présentent toutes une gouttière qui est montée avec une capacité de pivotement par rapport à l'embase. Néanmoins, l'invention couvre également les variantes non représentées dans lesquelles cette gouttière n'est pas montée pivotante par rapport à embase, tout en conservant une capacité d'inclinaison latérale de la gouttière.The fasteners illustrated in the attached figures all have a gutter which is mounted with a pivoting capacity relative to the base. Nevertheless, the invention also covers variants not shown in which this gutter is not pivotally mounted relative to the base, while retaining a lateral inclination capacity of the gutter.
Dans la forme de réalisation illustrée à la figure 3, le pivotement de la gouttière (3) peut être assuré par la coopération de deux doigts (20, 21), placés chacun sur la face extérieure (22, 23) de la gouttière, au niveau de la zone en regard de l'embase (2), ainsi que deux logements (24, 25) complémentaires, dans lesquels viennent pénétrer les doigts (20, 21).In the embodiment illustrated in FIG. 3, the pivoting of the gutter (3) can be provided by the cooperation of two fingers (20, 21), placed each on the outer face (22, 23) of the gutter, at the level of the zone in view of the base (2), and two housing (24, 25) complementary, in which penetrate the fingers (20, 21).
L'embase (2) présente une pluralité de logements (24-29) disposés les uns au-dessus des autres.The base (2) has a plurality of housings (24-29) arranged one above others.
En fonction du logement dans lequel le doigt (20, 21) de la gouttière s'encastre, l'inclinaison de l'axe de pivotement (30) de la gouttière (3) par rapport à l'embase (2) varie. Depending on the housing in which the finger (20, 21) of the gutter flush, the inclination of the pivot axis (30) of the gutter (3) relative to the base (2) varies.
Dans une autre forme d'exécution illustrée aux figures 4 à 7c, le pivotement de la gouttière (3) par rapport à l'embase (2) est réalisé grâce à une pièce de liaison (40) coopérant avec l'embase (2) et la gouttière (3).In another embodiment illustrated in FIGS. 4 to 7c, pivoting of the gutter (3) relative to the base (2) is achieved through a connecting piece (40) cooperating with the base (2) and the gutter (3).
Plus précisément, comme illustré à la figure 6, une telle pièce de liaison (40) se compose d'un disque d'épaisseur réduite (41), et une zone en relief (42) d'épaisseur constante, et comprenant quatre lobes (43-46) disposés symétriquement par rapport au point central (47) de ladite zone en relief (42).More precisely, as illustrated in FIG. 6, such a connecting piece (40) consists of a disc of reduced thickness (41), and an area in relief (42) of constant thickness, and comprising four lobes (43-46) arranged symmetrically relative to the center point (47) of said raised area (42).
Cette zone en relief (42) est destinée à venir s'encastrer dans un logement complémentaire (50) ménagé sur la partie basse de la gouttière.This relief zone (42) is intended to be embedded in a dwelling complementary (50) provided on the lower part of the gutter.
Le logement prévu dans la gouttière présente également une forme incluant quatre lobes, de sorte que la pièce de liaison (40) peut adopter quatre positions différentes se déduisant l'une de l'autre par une rotation d'un quart de tour autour de l'axe perpendiculaire au disque (41) et passant par le centre (47) de la zone en relief (42).The housing provided in the gutter also has a shape including four lobes, so that the connecting piece (40) can adopt four positions different from each other by rotating a quarter of a turn around the axis perpendicular to the disk (41) and passing through the center (47) of the area in relief (42).
Bien évidemment, l'invention ne se limite pas à la géométrie illustrée, mais couvre les variantes dans lesquelles le nombre de lobes et leur forme sont nettement différentes.Obviously, the invention is not limited to the illustrated geometry, but covers variants in which the number of lobes and their shape are clearly different.
Pour assurer un réglage plus précis de la pièce de liaison (40), on peut doter la zone en relief d'un crantage plus fin permettant de régler la position de la pièce de liaison par rapport à la gouttière de façon plus précise.To ensure a more precise adjustment of the connecting piece (40), it is possible to provide the raised area with a finer notch to adjust the position of the piece of link to the gutter more precisely.
En variante, en cas d'absence de lobes, le réglage de cette pièce intermédiaire peut se faire de façon continue.Alternatively, in the absence of lobes, the adjustment of this intermediate piece can be done continuously.
Comme illustré aux figures 5 et 6, la pièce de liaison (40) possède un trou destiné à recevoir un doigt (51) servant d'axe de pivotement de la gouttière par rapport à l'embase. As illustrated in FIGS. 5 and 6, the connecting piece (40) has a hole for receiving a finger (51) serving as a pivot axis of the gutter by compared to the base.
Ainsi, ce doigt est constitué d'un boulon (52) dont la tête vient au contact du disque (41) de la pièce de liaison (40) et dont la tige s'étend à travers la pièce de liaison (40) et tout ou partie du flanc latéral (7) de l'embase (2).Thus, this finger is constituted by a bolt (52) whose head comes into contact with the disc (41) of the connecting piece (40) and whose rod extends through the piece of link (40) and all or part of the lateral flank (7) of the base (2).
Dans la forme illustrée à la figure 5, l'écrou du boulon est camouflé entre deux parois (54, 55) constituant le flanc de l'embase, pour des raisons esthétiques.In the form shown in Figure 5, the nut of the bolt is camouflaged between two walls (54, 55) constituting the flank of the base, for aesthetic reasons.
Néanmoins, dans d'autres variantes non représentées, le boulon peut traverser l'intégralité de l'embase pour apparaítre latéralement, de manière à faciliter les manoeuvres de réglage de position.Nevertheless, in other variants not shown, the bolt can cross the entire base to appear laterally, so as to facilitate the position adjustment maneuvers.
Selon une caractéristique de l'invention, le doigt (51) constituant l'axe de pivotement entre la gouttière (3) et l'embase (2), est décalé par rapport au centre (47) de la pièce de liaison (40). Grâce à cette disposition, lorsque la pièce de liaison (40) est pivotée dans son logement (50), le doigt (51) se trouve déplacé.According to one characteristic of the invention, the finger (51) constituting the axis of pivoting between the gutter (3) and the base (2) is offset from the center (47) of the connecting piece (40). With this arrangement, when the connecting piece (40) is rotated in its housing (50), the finger (51) is moved.
Lorsque les deux mécanismes situés de chaque côté de la gouttière (3) sont pivotés de façon différente, l'axe de pivotement de la gouttière (3) par rapport à l'embase (2) est donc incliné par rapport à la face supérieure de la planche, ce qui confère à la gouttière (3) une certaine inclinaison de canting.When the two mechanisms located on each side of the gutter (3) are differently pivoted, the pivot axis of the gutter (3) relative to the base (2) is inclined relative to the upper face of the board, which gives the gutter (3) a certain inclination of canting.
Les figures 7a à 7c illustrent pour plus de clarté plusieurs positions de la pièce de liaison (40) et la gouttière (3) par rapport à l'embase (2).FIGS. 7a to 7c illustrate, for greater clarity, several positions of the part link (40) and the gutter (3) relative to the base (2).
Ainsi, à la figure 7a, la pièce de liaison excentrique (40) est disposée de telle sorte que le doigt (51) traversant l'embase est au même niveau que le centre (47) de la pièce de liaison.Thus, in FIG. 7a, the eccentric connecting piece (40) is disposed of so that the finger (51) passing through the base is at the same level as the center (47) of the connecting piece.
A la figure 7b la pièce excentrée (40) est pivotée de telle sorte que le centre (47) de la pièce de liaison, qui est fixe par rapport à la gouttière, est située plus haut que le doigt (51) formant l'axe de pivotement par rapport à l'embase.In FIG. 7b the eccentric piece (40) is pivoted so that the center (47) of the connecting piece, which is fixed relative to the gutter, is located above that the finger (51) forming the axis of pivot relative to the base.
De la sorte, de ce côté de la fixation, la gouttière (3) est légèrement surélevée, et l'axe de pivotement de la gouttière (3) par rapport à l'embase (2) se trouve donc incliné par rapport à la face principale. In this way, on this side of the attachment, the gutter (3) is slightly raised, and the axis of pivoting of the gutter (3) relative to the base (2) is therefore inclined with respect to the main face.
A l'inverse, la figure 7c illustre une position de la fixation, dans laquelle la pièce excentrique (40) est pivotée de telle sorte que le centre (47) de la pièce de liaison se trouve en dessous du niveau du doigt (51).Conversely, FIG. 7c illustrates a position of the attachment, in which the eccentric piece (40) is pivoted so that the center (47) of the workpiece link is below the level of the finger (51).
L'axe de pivotement de la gouttière par rapport à l'embase, possède donc une inclinaison opposée à celle illustrée à la figure 7b.The axis of pivoting of the gutter relative to the base, therefore has a opposite inclination to that shown in Figure 7b.
Comme illustré à la figure 7c, la zone de jonction entre le flanc (7) de l'embase (2) et la platine (5) est évidé pour permettre le passage du disque (41) de l'excentrique (40) lorsque celui-ci est pivoté en position basse, comme illustré à la figure 7c.As illustrated in FIG. 7c, the junction zone between the flank (7) of the base (2) and the plate (5) is hollowed out to allow the passage of the disc (41) of the eccentric (40) when the latter is pivoted in the lower position, as illustrated in FIG. Figure 7c.
Comme déjà dit, la fixation peut être équipée d'un ou deux éléments excentriques (40). Dans le cas où chaque flanc de l'embase comprend un excentrique (40), l'inclinaison de la gouttière peut être doublée par rapport aux formes de réalisation dans lesquelles la fixation ne comporte qu'un excentrique.As already said, the attachment can be equipped with one or two elements eccentric (40). In the case where each flank of the base comprises a eccentric (40), the inclination of the gutter can be doubled compared to embodiments in which the attachment comprises only one eccentric.
Il ressort de ce qui précède que la fixation de surf conforme à invention présente de multiples avantages et notamment:
- la possibilité de régler l'inclinaison latérale de la gouttière par rapport à l'embase, ou autrement dit le "canting", pour conférer à la fixation une géométrie ergonomique ;
- la possibilité de régler cette inclinaison dans une plage continue de valeur, avec une extrême précision ;
- la possibilité de régler la position longitudinale de la gouttière.
- the possibility of adjusting the lateral inclination of the gutter relative to the base, or in other words the "canting", to give the fastener an ergonomic geometry;
- the ability to adjust this inclination in a continuous range of value, with extreme precision;
- the possibility to adjust the longitudinal position of the gutter.
