Definitions

  • the invention relates to the field of snow sliding sports. She aims more specifically a raising device intended to be mounted on a board such as an alpine ski or the like. It allows, thanks to a unique device, to give several types of behavior to the board by playing on its stiffness.
  • Such devices generally include a plate or platform which is mounted on the upper face of the ski. This platform receives then by screwing the elements of the binding that are the stop and the heel piece.
  • Some of the existing platforms are therefore intended to provide unclamping the binding with respect to the ski. Others of these platforms provide the otherwise a stiffening of the board by adding the stiffness of the platform. These different types of platform have mechanical properties which are very different. The means for attaching these platforms to the board are also very varied.
  • a first problem which the invention proposes to solve is that of ability to change the degree of clamping of the ski with the same platform. In in addition, to achieve different behaviors, the hardware manufacturers are obliged to have an extended range whose management has certain drawbacks.
  • a second problem which the invention proposes to solve is that of the adaptability of the same enhancement platform to different practices of clamping.
  • the invention therefore relates to a raising device intended to be mounted on the upper face of a gliding board, comprising a platform capable of receive elements of a fixation.
  • the platform is connected to the upper face of the board by a part from which it can either slide or be firmly maintained. In this way, this area of the platform is allowed to be either fixed by compared to the board, or slightly sliding. So when the platform stays sliding relative to the slider, it promotes the unclamping of the platform by compared to skiing while maintaining a longitudinal guide of the plate relative to the board. Conversely, when the platform is firmly secured to the slide, we create an anchor point for the platform in relation to the board, which increases the clamping phenomenon.
  • the slides can advantageously be independent pieces reported on the board. They can also be integrated into the structure of the board during its manufacture.
  • the number of characteristic slides can be variable depending on the desired practice.
  • the device may have only one slide located near one end of the board.
  • the platform can be permanently secured to the board by the other end, or even by its median level.
  • the device can comprise two slides, each located near the end of the platform. In that case, it is possible to block the movement of the platform in relation to each of these sliders, namely either with respect to the front slider, or with respect to the rear slide, or even in relation to the two slides. We obtain so three different behaviors of the board, each one being more specifically suited to a type of practice.
  • this attachment zone can be very different.
  • the attachment zone can be constituted by a protuberance of the platform, capable of being secured to the upper face of the board.
  • the attachment zone can come into contact with a boss present on the upper face of the board and constituting an additional thickness.
  • the device according to the invention can include a spacer element interposed between the upper face of the board and the platform, to limit the bending of the latter.
  • a spacer element interposed between the upper face of the board and the platform, to limit the bending of the latter.
  • the slide may include a protruding area sliding inside a complementary shaped groove formed on the underside of the platform.
  • the invention also covers the reverse geometry in which the platform includes a prominent area which slides in a groove complementary to the slide.
  • the prominent area can be articulated with respect to the rest of the slide around an axis perpendicular to the plane median longitudinal of the platform, so as to facilitate sliding during bending forces.
  • the slide can have a deformation capacity which allows it to absorb the strong deformations of the board, to prevent the part of the slide sliding in the platform does not get stuck and causes therefore an unexpected clamping.
  • the groove may have at least one zone of wider opening allowing the introduction of the protruding zone of the slide in the groove when placing the platform on the slide. This arrangement therefore makes it possible to install the plate easily when the slides are already mounted on the board.
  • the device may include a viscoelastic element interposed between the slide and the platform, so as to ensure a certain comfort and a damping of part of the vibrations transmitting from the board to the platform.
  • the device may also include stops able to limit the sliding of the platform relative to the slide. This provision is particularly advantageous in the case where the platform is not connected to the board only by a single slide.
  • the invention relates to a device for raising the elements of a binding.
  • Many architectures can be adopted and the invention is in no way limited to the single embodiment illustrated in the figures.
  • the device comprises essentially a platform (1), on which the elements of the fixing (not shown), and two slides (2, 3) intended to be secured to the gliding board.
  • the slides (2, 3) include three openings (10, 11, 12) allowing the passage of hooking screws on the gliding board.
  • the slide front (3) is advantageously profiled so as not to extend laterally from the platform (1).
  • the slider (2) essentially consists a stud (13) whose lower face (17) comes into contact with the upper face of the gliding board, and a protrusion zone (14) present on part of the upper face of the stud (13).
  • This protruding area (14) includes an area of connection (15) with the stud (13) and a zone of greater width (16) in the form of Mountain peak.
  • the protruding area (14) is located respectively at the front of the rear slide, and at the rear of the slide front so as to free up on the upper face of the stud (13) a space allowing the passage of the hooking screw in the board.
  • the slide (2) cooperates with the platform (1) to allow the latter either to slide longitudinally, or to be kept fixed and movable relative to the board.
  • the platform (1) illustrated in Figure 2 has a metallic structure tubular comprising a plurality of cavities (20, 21) as well as ribs (22, 23) stiffening.
  • the invention is not limited to this alone platform geometry, but covers many other structures.
  • the platform (1) comprises a longitudinal groove (25), at least in the area of cooperation with the slide (2, 3).
  • This groove receives the protruding part (14) of the slide (2, 3).
  • the opening (26) of this groove (25) is tightened to keep the area in protuberance (15) trapped in the throat (25). In this way, any movement towards the top of the platform (1) is impossible.
  • the throat opening (25) is widened in an area adjacent to that in which is the slide (2, 3).
  • the throat opening (27) in this area is slightly greater than the width of the flared zone (16) of the zone in protuberance (14). Thus, it is in this zone (27) of greater width of the groove (25) that the slide (2,3) is introduced and then translated into its working area.
  • the platform (1) is placed on the slides presenting the zone (27) of the throat (25) widest with regard to the slides (2, 3).
  • the platform (1) is slightly translated so that the area in projection (14) of the slides is trapped by the region of the groove (25) corresponding.
  • the raising device comprises at the central level two parts (4, 5) forming a spacer.
  • These parts (4, 5) are studs secured to the face upper of the gliding board by hooking screws (29) passing through the three holes (28).
  • These studs (4, 5) are of generally parallelepiped shape, and receive on their upper face, the contact of the lower face of the platform (1).
  • the platform is secured to these parts (4, 5) by means of hooking screws (30) passing through openings (31) provided for this purpose on the platform (1). In this way, the platform (1) is firmly attached to the gliding board at its median level.
  • spacer elements (4, 5) are interposed between the platform (1) and the face upper of the gliding board, so as to avoid excessive bending of the board if it rested only on the two slides (2, 3).
  • the studs (4, 5) can be replaced by a protuberance from the platform directed downward, which would come into contact with the upper face of the board.
  • These outgrowths may consist of ribs extending to contact of the upper face of the board.
  • the studs (4, 5) can be replaced by a boss present on the upper face of the board, and whose thickness would be such that it comes into contact with the underside of the platform.
  • a boss present on the upper face of the board and whose thickness would be such that it comes into contact with the underside of the platform.
  • mixed solutions including a thinner boss on the board and a protruding area under the platform can be considered.
  • the shape of the slide (2, 3) allows the platform (1) to slide longitudinally in relation to the slide, and therefore in relation to the gliding board to which the latter is secured.
  • This sliding movement is particularly interesting when the platform has a fixed point by compared to the board, and the board bends.
  • the free end of the platform does not follow the bending movement of the board, but on the contrary slides slightly in relation to the upper face of the board thanks to the characteristic slide. This limits the influence of the rigidity of the platform and the sole of the shoe on that of the sole board. We therefore limit the clamping of the board.
  • the protruding part (40) of the slide (41) is then consisting of a piece independent of the stud (42). She climbed with a degree of articulation with respect to the latter.
  • the part (40) entering the groove (25) has a foot (43) which is embedded in a complementary housing (44) of the stud (42). This foot (43) has an axis transverse (45) perpendicular to the median longitudinal plane of the platform.
  • This transverse axis (45) can for example be placed laterally with respect to the stud.
  • the protruding part (40) thus has a pivoting capacity which allows its upper face to tilt slightly relative to the rest of the stud (41), and therefore to remain parallel to the platform (1) when the latter inclines very slightly compared to the stud and therefore to the board.
  • the protuberance zone (40) can also wear a layer of viscoelastic material (46) ensuring contact between the slide and platform. Damping is therefore obtained, with a feeling comfort for the user.
  • the platform (1) can either be left sliding with respect to the sliders (2, 3), or being secured to the latter, as illustrated in figure 6.
  • hooking screws (32, 34) pass through the platform (1) through the openings (33, 35) and are screwed into housings (18) present in the slide (2, 3).
  • the ends of the platform (1) are kept fixed relative to the slides (2, 3) and therefore to the board.
  • the stiffness of the platform (1) between the slide and the central anchor point (1) (4, 5) combines with that of the board. We obtain therefore a clamping of the ski which can prove to be interesting to increase the stiffness of this last, especially for sporting and aggressive practices.
  • the user can modulate the position and the number of attachment points.
  • it can either secure the front end or the end rear, either still the ends, or neither of them.
  • the invention also covers variants not shown in which one end is permanently fixed on the board by via a stud similar to the studs (4, 5) of Figure 1, or solutions equivalent.
