Description

Domaine TechniqueTechnical area

L'invention se rattache au domaine des sports de glisse, et plus précisément du surf des neiges généralement appelé "snowboard". Elle concerne plus précisément un élément formant une plaque interface, destinée à être interposée entre la fixation proprement dite et la planche, de manière à optimiser la transmission des efforts et le comportement de la planche.The invention relates to the field of sliding sports, and more specifically snowboarding usually called "snowboarding". It concerns more precisely an element forming an interface plate, intended to be interposed between the attachment itself and the board, so as to optimize the transmission of effort and behavior of the board.

Techniques antérieuresPrevious techniques

De façon connue, les fixations de surf sont montées sur la planche de surf avec une certaine latitude de rotation, permettant de régler l'angle du plan longitudinal médian de la fixation correspondant à celui du pied, par rapport à l'axe longitudinal de la planche.In known manner, the surf bindings are mounted on the surfboard with a certain latitude of rotation, allowing to adjust the angle of the plane median length of fixation corresponding to that of the foot, with respect to the axis longitudinal of the board.

En effet, pour adopter une position la plus ergonomique possible, il peut être nécessaire que les pieds avant et arrière présentent une certaine orientation par rapport à la planche.Indeed, to adopt a position as ergonomic as possible, it can be necessary that the front and rear feet have a certain orientation report to the board.

Cette orientation peut être différente du pied avant par rapport au pied arrière, et peut varier également en fonction du type de pratique. Ainsi, dans la pratique du surf de "free-style", l'orientation des pieds, donc de la fixation, est plus éloignée de l'axe longitudinal de la planche que pour la pratique du surf alpin dans lequel les pieds sont plus proches de l'axe longitudinal de la planche.This orientation may be different from the front foot relative to the back foot, and may also vary depending on the type of practice. Thus, in the practice of surfing "free-style", the orientation of the feet, so the fixation, is further away from the longitudinal axis of the board only for the practice of alpine surfing in which the feet are closer to the longitudinal axis of the board.

Par ailleurs, il existe deux orientations possibles du pied par rapport à la perpendiculaire à l'axe longitudinal de la planche.In addition, there are two possible orientations of the foot compared to the perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the board.

En effet, certains surfeurs préfèrent disposer leur pied gauche du côté de l'avant de la planche. Les surfeurs, selon cette pratique, sont dénommés "regular". Indeed, some surfers prefer to have their left foot on the side of the front of the board. Surfers, according to this practice, are called "regular".

A l'inverse, certains surfeurs préfèrent disposer leur pied droit du côté de l'avant de la planche. De tels surfeurs sont dénommés "goofy". Comme le pied arrière est généralement plus perpendiculaire à l'axe longitudinal de la planche que le pied avant, il s'ensuit que la fixation peut adopter une angulation très variable selon qu'elle est utilisée par un surfeur "goofy" ou "regular".Conversely, some surfers prefer to have their right foot on the side of the front of the board. Such surfers are referred to as "goofy". Like the foot back is usually more perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the board than the front foot, it follows that the fixation can adopt a very variable angulation depending on whether it is used by a surfer "goofy" or "regular".

Par ailleurs, on a observé que les efforts sont généralement exercés depuis la fixation en direction de la planche localisés essentiellement au niveau des zones extrêmes de la fixation, correspondant à l'avant du pied pour les virages "front side" et à l'arrière du pied pour les virages "back side".Moreover, it has been observed that efforts are generally made since fastening towards the board located essentially at the level of the zones extremes of fixation, corresponding to the front of the foot for "forehead" turns side "and at the back of the foot for" back side "turns.

Autrement dit, en fonction de l'orientation de la fixation par rapport à la planche, les efforts sont exercés de façon décalée par rapport aux carres.In other words, depending on the orientation of the attachment relative to the board, the forces are exerted off the edges.

Plus le pied est écarté de la perpendiculaire, plus les appuis sont exercés dans une zone éloignée des carres, et donc moins l'appui est efficace.The farther the foot is from the perpendicular, the more the supports are exerted in a zone far from the edges, and therefore less support is effective.

Un premier problème que se propose de résoudre l'invention, est celui de l'optimisation de la localisation des appuis exercés depuis la fixation, quelle que soit l'orientation de la fixation par rapport à l'axe longitudinal de la planche.A first problem that the invention proposes to solve is that of the optimization of the location of the supports exerted since the fixation, whatever or the orientation of the attachment relative to the longitudinal axis of the board.

Par ailleurs, dans le cas le plus fréquent où la fixation n'est pas perpendiculaire à l'axe longitudinal de la planche, les deux zones de transmission des appuis de la fixation vers la planche, situées à l'avant et à l'arrière du pied, sont décalées longitudinalement par rapport à la planche. Il s'ensuit que la partie de la fixation située entre ces deux zones d'appui présente une rigidité qui s'additionne et se combine avec la rigidité intrinsèque de la planche.Moreover, in the most frequent case where fixation is not perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the board, the two transmission zones support of the attachment to the board, located at the front and the back of the foot, are offset longitudinally with respect to the board. It follows that the part of the fixation between these two support zones has a rigidity that adds up and combines with the intrinsic rigidity of the board.

Cette interférence vient modifier les caractéristiques mécaniques intrinsèques de résistance de la planche et l'éloigne de son comportement théorique. Une telle modification est préjudiciable à la résistance aux efforts de la planche.This interference modifies the intrinsic mechanical characteristics of resistance of the board and away from its theoretical behavior. Such a modification is detrimental to the resistance to the efforts of the board.

En effet, on a notamment observé de nombreux cas de rupture de la planche au niveau des zones extrêmes de la fixation de par l'apparition de trop fortes contraintes lors du cintrage de la planche. Indeed, we have observed in particular many cases of board breakage at the level of the extreme zones of fixation by the appearance of too strong constraints when bending the board.

Un autre problème que se propose de résoudre l'invention est celui du débridage de la fixation par rapport à la planche, et de la diminution de l'influence de la rigidité mécanique de la fixation sur les propriétés mécaniques intrinsèques de la planche.Another problem to be solved by the invention is that of the unclamping of the binding with respect to the board, and the diminution of the influence the mechanical rigidity of the fixation on the intrinsic mechanical properties of the board.

Le document NL-A-9 101 938 décrit une interface pour fixation de surf des neiges qui permet un tel débridage uniquement dans le sens longitudinal du surf.NL-A-9 101 938 discloses an interface for snowboard binding which allows such unclamping only in the longitudinal direction of the surf.

L'invention a donc pour objectif de permettre une optimisation des appuis exercés de la fixation en direction de la planche, tout en permettant un certain débridage de rigidité de la fixation et de la planche, tout en restant compatible avec la latitude de réglage d'orientation de la fixation par rapport à l'axe longitudinal de la planche, selon les différentes pratiques, et les différents types d'utilisateurs.The invention therefore aims to allow optimization of the supports applied in the direction of the board, while allowing a certain amount of debridement of rigidity of the binding and the board, while remaining compatible with the adjustment latitude of the attachment relative to the longitudinal axis of the board, according to the different practices, and the different types of users.

Exposé de l'inventionPresentation of the invention

L'invention concerne donc une plaque interface, destinée à être interposée entre une fixation de surf et la face supérieure d'une planche de surf.The invention therefore relates to an interface plate, intended to be interposed between a surfboard binding and the upper face of a surfboard.

Cette plaque se caractérise en ce qu'elle comporte :

  • une zone centrale sensiblement circulaire et apte à être traversée par les vis d'accrochage de la fixation sur la planche ;
  • deux zones extérieures de largeur inférieure au diamètre de la zone centrale, disposées symétriquement par rapport à la zone centrale, et dont les extrémités les plus éloignées de la zone centrale servent d'appui à des zones diamétralement opposées de la fixation de manière à transmettre les efforts exercés depuis la fixation en direction de la planche uniquement au niveau desdites zones extérieures, destinées à être localisées à proximité des carres.
This plate is characterized in that it comprises:
  • a substantially circular central zone and adapted to be traversed by the fastening screws of the fastener on the board;
  • two outer zones of width less than the diameter of the central zone, arranged symmetrically with respect to the central zone, and whose ends furthest from the central zone serve to support diametrically opposite zones of the fastening so as to transmit the forces exerted since the fixation in the direction of the board only at said outer areas, intended to be located near the edges.

Autrement dit, la plaque conforme à l'invention est destinée à être disposée de telle sorte que ces zones extérieures soient le plus proche des carres, ce qui correspond sensiblement à une position dans laquelle la plaque interface présente son plan longitudinal médian perpendiculaire à l'axe longitudinal de la planche.In other words, the plate according to the invention is intended to be disposed of such that these outer areas are closest to the edges, which substantially corresponds to a position in which the interface plate presents its median longitudinal plane perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the board.

De la sorte, le contact entre la fixation et la planche est prépondérant au niveau de ces zones extérieures de la plaque, qui se situent à proximité des carres. In this way, the contact between the binding and the board is preponderant to the level of these outer areas of the plate, which are close to the edges.

Les appuis exercés depuis la fixation sur la planche sont donc principalement concentrés à proximité des carres, ce qui améliore la précision et la conduite du surf.The supports exerted since the fixation on the board are therefore mainly concentrates close to the edges, which improves the accuracy and surf.

En outre, grâce à la plaque caractéristique, l'influence mécanique de la fixation sur la planche est essentiellement limitée à une zone réduite dans le sens longitudinal de la planche. De la sorte, l'incidence de la rigidité de la fixation est relativement faible lors du cintrage de la planche. Celle-ci conserve donc ses propriétés mécaniques intrinsèques et son comportement optimal.In addition, thanks to the characteristic plate, the mechanical influence of the fixation on the board is essentially limited to a reduced area in the sense longitudinal of the board. In this way, the incidence of the rigidity of the fixation is relatively weak when bending the board. So it keeps its intrinsic mechanical properties and its optimal behavior.

En fonction de l'orientation de la fixation par rapport à la planche, les extrémités de la plaque les plus éloignées de la zone centrale servent d'appui à des zones diamétralement opposées de la fixation, disposées en diagonale par rapport à cette dernière.Depending on the orientation of the binding relative to the board, the the ends of the plate farthest from the central area serve as support for diametrically opposite zones of the fixation, arranged diagonally with respect to the latter.

Autrement dit, la plaque interface reste fixe par rapport à la planche et les zones de contact de la plaque par rapport à la fixation évoluent selon l'orientation de la fixation par rapport à la planche. Cependant, les zones de transmission des efforts, correspondant aux zones extérieures de la plaque caractéristique restent toujours à proximité des carres, quelle que soit l'orientation de la fixation.In other words, the interface plate remains fixed with respect to the board and the areas of contact of the plate with respect to the attachment evolve according to the orientation fixing relative to the board. However, the transmission zones of efforts, corresponding to the outer areas of the characteristic plate remain always close to the edges, regardless of the orientation of the binding.

La géométrie de la plaque est déterminée de telle sorte que l'orientation de la fixation puisse varier dans une grande plage angulaire, tout en recouvrant la plaque caractéristique pour bénéficier de la transmission des appuis au niveau des carres.The geometry of the plate is determined so that the orientation of the fixation can vary over a wide angular range, while covering the plate characteristic to benefit from the transmission of supports at the edges.

Selon une autre caractéristique de l'invention, la plaque interface peut être associée à un joint périphérique disposé sensiblement à l'aplomb du contour extérieur de l'embase de la fixation, de manière à empêcher l'entrée de la neige sous ladite embase.According to another characteristic of the invention, the interface plate can be associated with a peripheral seal disposed substantially in line with the contour outside the base of the binding, so as to prevent the entry of snow under said base.

Ce joint périphérique peut être soit incorporé à la fixation, soit encore être une pièce indépendante dont la position est modifiée avec l'orientation de la fixation. This peripheral seal may be incorporated in the fastener or may be an independent piece whose position is modified with the orientation of the fixation.

Ceci évite que la neige vienne s'accumuler sous l'embase, et constituer lorsqu'elle est gelée, une cale rigide qui permettrait la transmission des efforts depuis la fixation jusqu'à la planche et ce, en dehors des zones privilégiées que constituent les zones extérieures de la plaque.This prevents the snow from accumulating under the base, and constituting when frozen, a rigid wedge that would allow the transmission of efforts from the fixation to the board and this, outside the privileged areas that constitute the outer areas of the plate.

Avantageusement en pratique, la zone centrale peut comporter une excroissance cylindrique, disposée en son centre, et destinée à coopérer avec une ouverture cylindrique complémentaire ménagée à cet effet dans l'embase de la fixation. Dans ce cas, la plaque est plus destinée à être employée avec des fixations qui présentent une embase monolithique, qui est intégralement pivotée lors du réglage de l'orientation de la fixation.Advantageously in practice, the central zone may comprise a cylindrical protrusion, arranged at its center, and intended to cooperate with a complementary cylindrical opening provided for this purpose in the base of the fixation. In this case, the plate is more intended to be used with fasteners which have a monolithic base, which is completely rotated during the adjusting the orientation of the binding.

Ce pivotement s'effectue donc au-dessus de la plaque interface caractéristique dont l'excroissance sert de point fixe.This pivoting takes place above the characteristic interface plate whose outgrowth serves as a fixed point.

A l'inverse, la plaque caractéristique peut être utilisée avec une autre catégorie de fixation, dont l'embase comporte en son centre un évidement apte à recevoir un disque indexé, monté sur la planche à travers la plaque caractéristique, sans capacité de rotation. Dans ce cas de figure, le reste de l'embase de la fixation est orienté par rapport à ce disque central fixe.Conversely, the characteristic plate can be used with another fixation category, whose base comprises at its center a recess suitable for receive an indexed disc, mounted on the board through the characteristic plate, without the ability to rotate. In this case, the rest of the base of the fixation is oriented relative to this fixed central disk.

Avantageusement en pratique, la plaque caractéristique comporte des trous traversant de passage des vis d'accrochage de la fixation.Advantageously in practice, the characteristic plate has holes passing through fastening screws of the fastener.

Par ailleurs, il peut s'avérer intéressant de régler la position longitudinale de la fixation en fonction de l'ergonomie et de la position optimale souhaitée par l'utilisateur.In addition, it may be interesting to adjust the longitudinal position of fixing according to the ergonomics and the optimal position desired by the user.

Un tel réglage, appelé réglage de "stance" est obtenu grâce au fait que les trous traversant de la plaque caractéristique forment des lumières élargies, de manière à permettre le décalage par translation de la plaque par rapport la face supérieure de la planche, qui comporte les taraudages d'accrochage de la fixation. Such a setting, called a "stance" setting, is obtained by virtue of the fact that holes through the characteristic plate form enlarged lights, in order to allow the displacement by translation of the plate with respect to the face upper board, which includes tapping holes attachment.

De la sorte, lorsque l'utilisateur souhaite décaler longitudinalement la position de la fixation, il décale à la fois l'embase de la fixation et la plaque caractéristique en translatant ces deux éléments selon la direction des lumières élargies.In this way, when the user wishes to shift the position longitudinally of the fixation, it shifts both the base of the binding and the characteristic plate by translating these two elements according to the direction of the widened lights.

Par ailleurs, dans certaines pratiques, il peut s'avérer avantageux que la jambe présente une certaine orientation par rapport à la verticale, notamment dans les pratiques de "free style". Dans ce cas, la plaque caractéristique peut présenter des faces supérieures et inférieures qui forment un angle compris entre deux et huit degrés, ce qui décale d'autant l'inclinaison ou "canting" de la fixation par rapport à la verticale.Moreover, in certain practices, it may be advantageous for the leg has a certain orientation with respect to the vertical, especially in free style practices. In this case, the characteristic plate may have upper and lower faces that form an angle between two and eight degrees, which offsets the inclination or "canting" of the binding relative to the vertical.

    Comme déjà dit, l'invention concerne une plaque interface, destinée à être interposée entre l'embase de la fixation et la planche de surf, de manière à privilégier la transmission des appuis depuis la fixation vers la planche, à un même niveau longitudinal, et le plus près possible des carres.As already stated, the invention relates to an interface plate intended to be interposed between the base of the binding and the surfboard, so as to favor the transmission of the supports from the fixation to the board, to the same longitudinal level, and as close as possible to the edges.

    Une telle plaque permet également d'assurer un bon débridage de la fixation par rapport à la planche. Such a plate also ensures a good unclamping of the fastener compared to the board.

    Chacune de ces zones extérieures (3, 4) présentent une forme sensiblement trapézoïdale ou bien encore rectangulaire ou carrée, dont les côtés présentent une longueur sensiblement voisine de la moitié du diamètre de la zone centrale (2).Each of these outer zones (3, 4) have a shape substantially trapezoidal or even rectangular or square, the sides of which have a length substantially close to half the diameter of the central zone (2).

    Ces zones extérieures s'étendent jusqu'à proximité de la périphérie de la fixation, pour recevoir les appuis uniquement sur ses zones extérieures (3, 4).These outer areas extend to near the periphery of the fixation, to receive the supports only on its outer areas (3, 4).

    Ainsi, la plaque caractéristique (1) est disposée de telle sorte que son axe longitudinal médian (6) soit perpendiculaire à l'axe longitudinal médian (7) de la planche. De telle sorte, les extrémités des zones extérieures (3, 4), sont situées le plus près possible des carres (9, 10), ce qui améliore le transfert des appuis exercés par le surfeur et donc la précision de la conduite de la planche.Thus, the characteristic plate (1) is arranged so that its axis longitudinal axis (6) is perpendicular to the median longitudinal axis (7) of the board. In this way, the ends of the outer zones (3, 4) are located on the as close as possible to the edges (9, 10), which improves the transfer of the supports by the surfer and therefore the precision of the conduct of the board.

    En outre, puisque les deux zones extérieures (3, 4) sont situées sensiblement au même niveau longitudinal par rapport à la planche, la fraction de la planche contrainte du fait de la présence de la fixation est relativement peu étendue longitudinalement. Il s'ensuit que la contribution de la rigidité de la fixation dans la rigidité complète de la planche est faible, et à tout le moins minimisée.In addition, since the two outer zones (3, 4) are located substantially at the same longitudinal level with respect to the board, the fraction of the board stress due to the presence of fixation is relatively small longitudinally. It follows that the contribution of the stiffness of the fixation in the Full rigidity of the board is low, and at the very least minimized.

    En conséquence, le comportement de la planche équipée des fixations se rapproche du comportement théorique de la planche seule, déterminée selon les caractéristiques intrinsèques de sa structure mécanique.As a result, the behavior of the board equipped with the bindings approximates the theoretical behavior of the board alone, determined according to intrinsic characteristics of its mechanical structure.

    La présence des deux zones extérieures (3, 4) situées symétriquement par rapport au centre (5) de la plaque, permet un léger mouvement de cintrage de la planche par rapport à la fixation. The presence of the two outer zones (3, 4) located symmetrically by relative to the center (5) of the plate, allows a slight bending movement of the board relative to the binding.

    Dans le cas le plus fréquent où la fixation présente une orientation par rapport à l'axe longitudinal de la planche qui est différente de la perpendiculaire, les zones extérieures (3, 4) de la plaque sont situées à l'aplomb de régions diagonalement opposées de la fixation.In the most frequent case where the fastener has a relative orientation to the longitudinal axis of the board that is different from the perpendicular, the areas exterior (3, 4) of the plate are located vertically diagonally opposite of the fixation.

    Ainsi, malgré cette orientation du pied, les efforts sont néanmoins transmis en direction de la planche uniquement au niveau des zones extérieures (3, 4), et donc à proximité des carres (9, 10), sans générer de contraintes sur la planche au niveau de l'étendue longitudinale de la fixation.Thus, despite this orientation of the foot, efforts are nonetheless transmitted in direction of the board only at the level of the outer areas (3, 4), and therefore to proximity of the edges (9, 10), without generating constraints on the board at the level of the longitudinal extent of the fixation.

    La plaque caractéristique (1) peut être réalisée en différents matériaux, et notamment en métal ou en matière plastique relativement rigide, telle que polyamide, polyuréthanne ou polypropylèneThe characteristic plate (1) can be made of different materials, and metal or relatively rigid plastic, such as polyamide, polyurethane or polypropylene

    La plaque caractéristique peut également recevoir une couche de matériau viscoélastique destinée à amortir une partie des vibrations engendrées par la planche, pour éviter que celles-ci se transmettent depuis la planche jusqu'à la fixation.The characteristic plate can also receive a layer of material viscoelastic intended to damp some of the vibrations generated by the board, to prevent them from being transmitted from the board to the fixation.

    Une telle plaque caractéristique (1) présente une épaisseur de quelques millimètres, préférentiellement comprise entre deux et trois millimètres.Such a characteristic plate (1) has a thickness of a few millimeters, preferably between two and three millimeters.

    Selon une autre caractéristique de l'invention, cette plaque peut présenter une pente qui confère à la fixation une certaine inclinaison par rapport à la face supérieure de la planche pour régler l'inclinaison latérale de la fixation, appelée "canting".According to another characteristic of the invention, this plate may have a slope which gives the fixing a certain inclination with respect to the face top of the board to adjust the lateral inclination of the binding, called "Canting".

    Plus précisément, les faces supérieure et inférieure de la plaque (1) peuvent former entre elles un angle de quelques degrés, par exemple de trois ou de six degrés.More specifically, the upper and lower faces of the plate (1) can form between them an angle of a few degrees, for example three or six degrees.

    Selon une autre caractéristique de l'invention la plaque caractéristique est associée avec un joint périphérique (20) situé à l'aplomb de la périphérie de l'embase de la fixation, et est essentiellement destinée à éviter l'introduction de neige entre l'embase et la planche. According to another characteristic of the invention, the characteristic plate is associated with a peripheral seal (20) located at the periphery of the periphery of the base of the binding, and is essentially intended to prevent the introduction of snow between the base and the board.

    En effet, l'introduction de neige pourrait engendrer la formation d'une cale de glace dont la rigidité viendrait modifier la zone de transmission des appuis de la fixation vers la planche, et donc corrompre l'utilité de la plaque caractéristique (1).Indeed, the introduction of snow could cause the formation of a wedge of the rigidity of which would modify the zone of transmission of the supports of the fixing to the board, and thus corrupt the utility of the characteristic plate (1).

    Un tel joint (20) est constitué d'une matière facilement compressible, pour ne pas constituer un élément permettant la transmission des appuis depuis la fixation vers la planche, fonction qui est uniquement réservée à la plaque caractéristique (1). Ainsi, un tel joint (20) peut être réalisé en une mousse compressible.Such a seal (20) consists of an easily compressible material, so that not constitute an element allowing the transmission of the supports since the fixation to the board, a function that is only reserved for the characteristic plate (1). Thus, such a seal (20) can be made of a compressible foam.

    Comme illustré aux figures 2 à 5, la plaque caractéristique permet d'assurer la transmission des efforts optimale à proximité des carres, pour une très grande variété d'orientations de la fixation par rapport à l'axe longitudinal médian de la planche.As illustrated in FIGS. 2 to 5, the characteristic plate makes it possible to ensure transmission of optimal forces near the edges, for a very large variety of orientations of fixation with respect to the median longitudinal axis of the board.

    Ainsi, on sait que les orientations des fixations peuvent varier d'un pied à l'autre, comme illustré aux figures 2 et 3, le pied avant étant généralement plus proche de l'axe longitudinal de la planche que le pied arrière.Thus, it is known that the orientations of the bindings can vary from one foot to the other, as illustrated in FIGS. 2 and 3, the front foot being generally more close to the longitudinal axis of the board as the back foot.

    Ainsi, la forme de la plaque caractéristique, et notamment la relative étroitesse des zones extérieures (3, 4) permet à la fixation de pivoter, tout en restant au-dessus des zones extérieures (3, 4), permettant ainsi la transmission des appuis au niveau de ces dernières.Thus, the shape of the characteristic plate, and in particular the relative narrow outer areas (3, 4) allows the attachment to pivot, while remaining above the outer zones (3, 4), thus allowing the transmission of the supports at the level of the latter.

    Par ailleurs, la géométrie symétrique de la plaque caractéristique (1) permet également de l'utiliser pour les deux types d'orientation de la fixation utilisée, selon que l'utilisateur est qualifié de "regular" ou "goofy", comme on le voit à la comparaison des figures 2 et 5 ou 3 et 4.Moreover, the symmetrical geometry of the characteristic plate (1) allows It should also be used for both types of orientation of the fastener used, according to that the user is described as "regular" or "goofy", as seen in comparison of Figures 2 and 5 or 3 and 4.

    Le profil intérieur (21) du joint périphérique (20) est défini de telle manière qu'il permet l'orientation de la fixation pour une plage d'orientation allant de - 30° à + 30° entre les axes longitudinaux médians de la fixation et de la plaque.The inner profile (21) of the peripheral seal (20) is defined in such a way it allows the orientation of the attachment for an orientation range from -30 ° to + 30 ° between the median longitudinal axes of the fixation and the plate.

    Bien entendu, une géométrie différente, et notamment des zones extérieures (3, 4) plus étroites peut conduire à une couverture d'orientation encore plus étendue. Of course, a different geometry, including outside areas (3, 4) narrower can lead to even more orientation coverage extended.

    Pour limiter le pivotement de la fixation dans la plage déterminée en fonction de la géométrie de la plaque et du joint, on peut prévoir l'adjonction sous l'embase de la fixation, de deux ergots de limitation (25, 26), destinés à venir au contact de la plaque (1) lorsque la fixation atteint sa position , maximale d'un côté ou de l'autre.To limit the pivoting of the binding in the determined range according to the geometry of the plate and the joint, we can provide the addition under the base of the fixing, two limiting pins (25, 26) intended to come into contact with the plate (1) when the attachment reaches its position, maximum on one side or the other.

    Selon une autre caractéristique de l'invention, la plaque (1) peut présenter en son centre des lumières (30, 31) permettant le passage de vis d'accrochage de la fixation sur la planche.According to another characteristic of the invention, the plate (1) can present in its center of the lights (30, 31) allowing the passage of fastening screws of the fixing on the board.

    De telles lumières (30, 31) peuvent adopter une géométrie qui permet un léger décalage transversal ou longitudinal de la plaque (1), et donc de la fixation, en fonction de la position optimale souhaitée par l'utilisateur.Such lights (30, 31) can adopt a geometry that allows a slight transverse or longitudinal offset of the plate (1), and therefore of the fastening, depending on the optimal position desired by the user.

    Ainsi, si l'utilisateur souhaite décaler longitudinalement la position de la fixation par rapport aux trous (33) de perçage réalisés dans la planche, il peut légèrement décaler la plaque (1) de telle manière que les trous de vissage (33) soient situés dans la lumière longitudinale (31).Thus, if the user wishes to longitudinally shift the position of the fixation relative to the drilling holes (33) made in the board, it can slightly offset the plate (1) so that the screw holes (33) are located in the longitudinal lumen (31).

    De la même manière, s'il souhaite légèrement décaler transversalement la fixation, c'est la lumière transversale (30) qui sera alors utilisée.In the same way, if he wishes to slightly shift transversely fixation, it is the transverse light (30) which will then be used.

    Selon une autre caractéristique de l'invention, la plaque caractéristique (1) peut comporter en son centre une zone en excroissance (36), destinée à coopérer avec la fixation pour en faciliter le pivotement.According to another characteristic of the invention, the characteristic plate (1) may comprise at its center a protruding zone (36) intended to cooperate with the attachment to facilitate pivoting.

    Une telle géométrie, illustrée à la figure 6, permet à l'utilisateur de faire varier l'orientation de la fixation en la faisant pivoter autour de la plaque, et plus précisément autour de l'excroissance centrale.Such geometry, illustrated in Figure 6, allows the user to vary the orientation of the fixture by rotating it around the plate, and more precisely around the central outgrowth.

    Dans ce cas de figure, la fixation (40) présente des lumières (37) en forme d'arc de cercle, à l'intérieur de laquelle pénètrent les vis (38) de fixation. Selon l'orientation de la fixation les vis (38) occupent une position variable à l'intérieur de la lumière (37). Dans ce cas, la plaque comporte uniquement les 4 ou 3 trous correspondant à la position des inserts de montage de la fixation de la planche. In this case, the attachment (40) has lights (37) shaped of arc of circle, inside which penetrate the screws (38) of fixation. according to the orientation of the fixing the screws (38) occupy a variable position inside light (37). In this case, the plate has only the 4 or 3 holes corresponding to the position of the mounting inserts of the binding of the board.

    Dans l'autre forme de fixation illustrée à la figure 7, l'embase (43) comporte un disque central (45), restant fixe par rapport à la planche, et autour duquel peut se déplacer en rotation le reste (44) de l'embase, la coopération entre le disque (45) et l'embase (44) assurant un indexage et un maintien en position de l'embase dans l'orientation souhaitée. Dans ce cas, la plaque possède les mêmes capacités de réglage que celles du disque afin de lui permettre de suivre le déplacement de ce dernier.In the other form of attachment illustrated in FIG. 7, the base (43) comprises a central disc (45), remaining fixed relative to the board, and around which can be moving in rotation the rest (44) of the base, the cooperation between the disc (45) and the base (44) ensuring indexing and holding in position of the base in the desired orientation. In this case, the plate has the same capabilities of setting that those of the disk to allow him to follow the movement of this latest.

    Il ressort de ce qui précède que la plaque caractéristique conforme à l'invention présente de multiples avantages, à savoir :

    • il permet la transmission des efforts essentiellement au niveau proche des carres ;
    • il permet un débridage rigide de la fixation et de la planche.
    It follows from the foregoing that the characteristic plate according to the invention has many advantages, namely:
    • it allows the transmission of forces essentially at the level close to the edges;
    • it allows a rigid unclamping of the binding and the board.
