Description

L'invention concerne un dispositif de fixation d'une chaussure sur un article de sport. Elle sera plus particulièrement mise en oeuvre dans des dispositifs dans lesquels la chaussure est fixée sur l'article de sport par sa partie avant mais dans lesquels le talon reste libre de se soulever par rapport à l'article de sport. Un tel type dispositif de fixation est par exemple utilisé en ski de fond.The invention relates to a device for attaching a shoe to a sports article. She will be more particularly implemented in devices in which the shoe is attached to the sports article by its front part but in which the heel remains free to lift relative to the sporting item. Such a type of fastening device is for example used in cross-country skiing.

L'invention sera plus particulièrement décrite dans son application à un dispositif de fixation du type décrit par exemple dans les documents FR-2.645.758, FR-2.645.759, FR-2.645.760, FR-2.645.761, documents auxquels on se refera utilement pour une description détaillée de ces dispositifs. Elle s'appliquera aussi aux dispositifs de fixation de ski de fond du type de ceux commercialisés par la demanderesse sous les dénominations commerciales "SNS Profil" et "SNS Pilot".The invention will be more particularly described in its application to a device for fixing of the type described for example in the documents FR-2.645.758, FR-2.645.759, FR-2.645.760, FR-2.645.761, documents which will be usefully referred to for a description detailed of these devices. It will also apply to the cross-country ski binding devices of the type of those sold by the plaintiff under the trade names "SNS Profile "and" SNS Pilot ".

Dans ces systèmes, la chaussure comporte un organe d'accrochage, par exemple une tige transversale, et le dispositif de fixation comporte un logement dans lequel l'organe d'accrochage peut être reçu, le logement étant ouvert ou fermé en fonction de la position d'un verrou. Ce verrou se déplace en effet entre une position ouverte dans laquelle l'organe d'accrochage peut être introduit ou dégagé du logement, et une position fermée dans laquelle le verrou empêche le dégagement de l'organe d'accrochage. Ce déplacement est par exemple un coulissement longitudinal. Le passage de la position ouverte à la position fermée se fait, dans l'exemple qui sera décrit plus bas, selon un mouvement d'avance du verrou, mais on peut prévoir que ce mouvement soit un mouvement de recul (par rapport à un sens avant/arrière de l'article de sport sur lequel est monté le dispositif de fixation).In these systems, the shoe comprises a fastening member, for example a rod transverse, and the fixing device comprises a housing in which the member attachment can be received, the housing being open or closed depending on the position of a lock. This lock indeed moves between an open position in which the member hooking can be introduced or released from the housing, and a closed position in which the lock prevents the release of the latching member. This displacement is for example longitudinal sliding. The passage from the open position to the closed position is done, in the example which will be described below, according to a movement of advance of the lock, but we can provide that this movement is a backward movement (compared to a forward / backward direction of the sports article on which the fastening device is mounted).

Dans les dispositifs connus jusqu'à présent, le déplacement du verrou entre ses positions ouverte et fermée est commandé par un système de manoeuvre qui fait généralement appel à un levier articulé autour d'un axe transversal. Eventuellement, le système de manoeuvre peut comporter un mécanisme de genouillère interposé entre le levier de manoeuvre et le verrou pour garantir le blocage en position fermée du verrou. Un tel système de commande, relativement sophistiqué, fonctionne parfaitement mais présente l'inconvénient d'être relativement cher à fabriquer. Lorsque le dispositif de fixation est destiné à une utilisation dans laquelle les efforts imposés au dispositif sont faibles, par exemple pour des fixations spécialement destinées aux enfants, une telle construction peut s'avérer trop chère par rapport aux performances nécessaires.In the devices known until now, the displacement of the lock between its positions open and closed is controlled by an operating system which generally uses a lever articulated around a transverse axis. Optionally, the operating system can include a toggle mechanism interposed between the operating lever and the latch to guarantee locking in the closed position of the lock. Such a control system, relatively sophisticated, works perfectly but has the disadvantage of being relatively expensive to manufacture. When the fastening device is intended for use in which the forces imposed on the device are low, for example for fastenings specially designed for children, such a construction may prove to be too expensive compared to the necessary performance.

L'invention a pour objet de proposer un dispositif de fixation qui soit particulièrement simple tant en termes de fabrication, et donc de coûts, qu'en termes d'utilisation.The object of the invention is to propose a fixing device which is particularly simple both in terms of manufacturing, and therefore of costs, as in terms of use.

Dans ce but, l'invention propose un dispositif de fixation d'une chaussure sur un article de sport, du type comportant un logement qui est destiné à recevoir un organe d'accrochage de la chaussure, et qui est muni d'un verrou mobile susceptible de se déplacer entre une position ouverte, dans laquelle l'organe d'accrochage peut être introduit ou dégagé du logement, et une position fermée dans laquelle le verrou empêche le dégagement de l'organe d'accrochage, et du type dans lequel le déplacement du verrou est commandé par un système de manoeuvre, caractérisé en ce que le système de manoeuvre comporte un organe de préhension qui est mobile en coulissement, et une bielle qui est liée par ses deux extrémités d'une part au verrou et d'autre part à l'organe de préhension.To this end, the invention provides a device for attaching a shoe to an article of sport, of the type comprising a housing which is intended to receive a fastening member for the shoe, and which is provided with a movable lock capable of moving between a position open, in which the fastening member can be inserted or released from the housing, and a closed position in which the lock prevents the release of the latching member, and of the type in which the movement of the lock is controlled by an operating system, characterized in that the operating system comprises a gripping member which is movable in sliding, and a connecting rod which is linked by its two ends on the one hand to the lock and secondly to the gripping member.

On a illustré sur les figures 1 à 5 un dispositif 10 de fixation d'une chaussure 12 sur un ski de fond 14. Le dispositif 10 est fixé sur une face supérieure du ski 14. Les notions géométriques de haut, bas, avant, arrière, etc.. se rapportent à la disposition des objets en utilisation normale tels qu'illustrés sur les figures, et les termes correspondants utilisés ci-dessous ne doivent pas être considérés comme étant des restrictions à la portée de l'invention.Is illustrated in Figures 1 to 5 a device 10 for fixing a shoe 12 on a ski 14. The device 10 is fixed on an upper face of the ski 14. The concepts top, bottom, front, back, etc. relate to the arrangement of objects in normal use as illustrated in the figures, and the corresponding terms used below should not be considered as restrictions on the scope of the invention.

La chaussure 12 comporte, à l'extrémité avant de sa semelle 16, une tige d'accrochage transversale 18. Cette tige 18 est cylindrique et, lorsqu'elle est retenue enfermée dans un logement correspondant 20 délimité dans un corps fixe 21 du dispositif 10, elle est destinée à former un axe d'articulation de la chaussure sur le ski 14, ce qui permet notamment au talon de la chaussure de se soulever du ski. De manière connue, ce logement 20 est aménagé en avant d'un moyen de guidage incorporé au dispositif 10, lequel moyen de guidage comprend par exemple au moins une arête 22. L'arête 22 s'étend en relief sur le ski 14, longitudinalement vers l'arrière, et la semelle 16 de la chaussure comporte une gorge 24 de forme complémentaire, ouverte vers le bas pour chevaucher l'arête 22 et pour participer au guidage transversal de la chaussure par rapport au ski 14. Le dispositif de fixation 10 illustré sur les figures comporte aussi un tampon élastique 23 qui est solidaire du corps fixe 21 et qui est destiné à coopérer avec une surface de butée formée à l'avant de la semelle 16 de la chaussure 12.The shoe 12 comprises, at the front end of its sole 16, a hooking rod transverse 18. This rod 18 is cylindrical and, when it is retained enclosed in a corresponding housing 20 delimited in a fixed body 21 of the device 10, it is intended to form an axis of articulation of the boot on the ski 14, which in particular allows the heel from the shoe to lift off the ski. In a known manner, this housing 20 is arranged in front of a guide means incorporated in the device 10, which guide means comprises for example at least one edge 22. The edge 22 extends in relief on the ski 14, longitudinally backwards, and the sole 16 of the shoe has a groove 24 of shape complementary, open downwards to overlap edge 22 and to participate in guidance transverse of the boot relative to the ski 14. The fastening device 10 illustrated on the Figures also includes an elastic pad 23 which is integral with the fixed body 21 and which is intended to cooperate with a stop surface formed at the front of the sole 16 of the shoe 12.

La tige 18 s'étend en travers de la gorge 24, à l'extrémité avant de celle-ci. Le logement 20 est ouvert transversalement des deux côtés et il est aussi ouvert vers le haut pour permettre l'engagement de la tige 18 du haut vers le bas dans le logement 20. Il est destiné à être refermé vers le haut par un verrou 26 qui est mobile entre une position ouverte illustrée à la figure 1 et une position fermée illustrée à la figure 2. En position fermée du verrou 26, la tige 18 ne peut plus sortir du logement 20, ce qui assure une fixation fiable de la chaussure 12 sur le ski 14. Dans l'exemple illustré, le verrou 26 coulisse longitudinalement (dans un plan horizontal) de l'avant vers l'arrière de sa position ouverte vers sa position fermée. Pour commander le déplacement du verrou 26, le dispositif de fixation 10 comporte un système de manoeuvre permettant une manipulation aisée par l'utilisateur.The rod 18 extends across the groove 24, at the front end thereof. Housing 20 is open transversely on both sides and is also open upward to allow the engagement of the rod 18 from top to bottom in the housing 20. It is intended to be closed upwards by a lock 26 which is movable between an open position illustrated in FIG. 1 and a closed position illustrated in FIG. 2. In the closed position of the latch 26, the rod 18 cannot plus exit the housing 20, which ensures reliable attachment of the boot 12 on the ski 14. In the example illustrated, the latch 26 slides longitudinally (in a horizontal plane) by front to back from its open position to its closed position. To order the displacement of the bolt 26, the fixing device 10 comprises an operating system allowing easy handling by the user.

Selon l'invention, le système de manoeuvre comporte pour l'essentiel un organe de préhension 28 qui est mobile en coulissement (c'est-à-dire en translation) par rapport au corps fixe 21, et une bielle 30 qui est liée par ses deux extrémités d'une part au verrou 26 et d'autre part à l'organe de préhension 28. Dans le cas présent, l'organe de préhension coulisse selon une direction non parallèle à la direction de déplacement du verrou 26, et la bielle 30 est liée au verrou 26 et à l'organe de préhension 28 par des articulations d'axe transversal.According to the invention, the operating system essentially comprises a grip 28 which is movable in sliding (that is to say in translation) relative to the body fixed 21, and a connecting rod 30 which is linked by its two ends on the one hand to the latch 26 and on the other part to the gripping member 28. In the present case, the gripping member slides according to a direction not parallel to the direction of movement of the latch 26, and the connecting rod 30 is linked to the lock 26 and to the gripping member 28 by articulations of transverse axis.

Dans l'exemple illustré, l'organe de préhension 28 est agencé à l'avant du dispositif de fixation 10 et il présente la forme d'un champignon dont le pied 29 est monté mobile dans le corps fixe 21 du dispositif de fixation selon une direction de coulissement inclinée, vers le haut et vers l'avant, d'un angle de l'ordre de 45 degrés par rapport à l'horizontale. Le pied 29 présente la forme d'un cylindre (éventuellement de révolution) qui est guidé dans un alésage de section correspondante formé dans le corps fixe 21, lequel peut bien entendu être formé de plusieurs pièces. Le pied 29 est surmonté par exemple d'une demi-boule 31 munie de prises 33 pour une préhension facile.In the example illustrated, the gripping member 28 is arranged at the front of the device for attachment 10 and it has the shape of a mushroom whose foot 29 is movably mounted in the fixed body 21 of the fixing device in an inclined sliding direction, towards the up and forward, at an angle on the order of 45 degrees from the horizontal. Foot 29 has the shape of a cylinder (possibly of revolution) which is guided in a bore of corresponding section formed in the fixed body 21, which can of course be formed of Several pieces. The foot 29 is surmounted for example by a half-ball 31 provided with sockets 33 for easy gripping.

Pour ouvrir le logement 20, il faut tirer sur l'organe de préhension 28 vers le haut et vers l'avant (dans un plan longitudinal et vertical). Pour le refermer, il suffit d'exercer la manoeuvre inverse, à savoir repousser l'organe de préhension 28 vers le bas et vers l'arrière. Ainsi, ne serait-ce que par la position de la demi-boule 31, l'utilisateur et les personnes alentour peuvent voir très facilement si le verrou est ouvert ou fermé.To open the housing 20, it is necessary to pull the gripping member 28 upwards and towards the front (in a longitudinal and vertical plane). To close it, just exercise the maneuver reverse, namely pushing the gripping member 28 down and back. So don't if by the position of the half-ball 31, the user and the people around can very easily see if the lock is open or closed.

Comme on peut le voir notamment sur la figure 5, la bielle 30 se présente sous la forme d'un cadre métallique de contour sensiblement rectangulaire comportant deux brins latéraux longitudinaux 32 et deux brins transversaux d'extrémités 34 par lesquels elle est articulée d'un côté sur l'organe de préhension et de l'autre côté sur le verrou 26. En position de fermeture du système de manoeuvre, la bielle 30 s'étend sensiblement dans un plan horizontal, dans le prolongement de la direction de coulissement du verrou 26. En l'occurrence, la bielle 30 s'étend vers l'avant par rapport au verrou 26 de sorte qu'elle est articulée par son extrémité arrière sur le verrou 26 et par son extrémité avant sur le pied 29 de l'organe de préhension. En position d'ouverture, l'extrémité avant de la bielle 30 est relevée par rapport à son extrémité arrière. En effet, alors que l'extrémité arrière de la bielle ne se déplace que selon la direction horizontale, comme le verrou, l'extrémité avant de la bielle se déplace selon une trajectoire qui comprend une composante horizontale et une composante verticale. Ceci résulte bien entendu de l'inclinaison de la direction de coulissement de l'organe de préhension. La bielle 30, et notamment ses brins longitudinaux 32, est dimensionnée pour pouvoir travailler aussi bien en traction (lors de l'ouverture) qu'en compression (lors de la fermeture). As can be seen in particular in Figure 5, the rod 30 is in the form a metal frame with a substantially rectangular outline comprising two lateral strands longitudinal 32 and two transverse strands of ends 34 by which it is articulated with a side on the gripping member and on the other side on the latch 26. In the closed position of the operating system, the connecting rod 30 extends substantially in a horizontal plane, in the extension of the sliding direction of the lock 26. In this case, the connecting rod 30 extends forward relative to latch 26 so that it is hinged at its end rear on the latch 26 and by its front end on the foot 29 of the gripping member. In open position, the front end of the connecting rod 30 is raised relative to its end back. Indeed, while the rear end of the connecting rod only moves in the direction horizontal, like the bolt, the front end of the connecting rod moves along a path which has a horizontal component and a vertical component. This of course results the inclination of the sliding direction of the gripping member. The connecting rod 30, and in particular its longitudinal strands 32, is dimensioned to be able to work equally well in traction (when opening) than compression (when closing).

Selon un autre aspect de l'invention, il est prévu des moyens pour s'assurer que le verrou est soit en position ouverte, soit en position fermée, et pas dans une position intermédiaire. Dans l'exemple illustré, ces moyens sont constitués d'éléments qui ne permettent au système de manoeuvre d'occuper que deux positions stables, les deux positions d'ouverture et de fermeture correspondant aux positions ouverte et fermée du verrou 26.According to another aspect of the invention, means are provided to ensure that the lock is either in the open position or in the closed position, and not in an intermediate position. In the example illustrated, these means consist of elements which do not allow the system maneuver to occupy only two stable positions, the two open positions and closure corresponding to the open and closed positions of the lock 26.

Comme on peut le voir par exemple sur la figure 5, la bielle 30 s'étend dans un compartiment 36 délimité à l'intérieur du corps fixe 21. Ce compartiment 36 est notamment délimité transversalement par deux cloisons longitudinales externes 38 le long desquelles se déplacent les deux brins longitudinaux 32 de la bielle 30 lorsqu'on manipule le système de manoeuvre entre sa position d'ouverture et sa position de fermeture. Chacune de ces cloisons externes 38 comporte un ergot 40 qui s'étend transversalement vers l'intérieur de manière à se trouver en travers de la composante verticale de la trajectoire de la bielle 30. Bien entendu, ces ergots 40 sont disposés de manière à coopérer avec l'extrémité avant de la bielle 30. Comme on peut le voir sur les figures 3 et 4, les bords supérieurs et inférieurs des ergots 40 sont chanfreinés. Lorsque le système est manoeuvré, la bielle 30 passe en dessus ou en dessous des ergots 40 par déformation élastique des brins longitudinaux 32 lesquels, du fait des profils des ergots, ne peuvent rester en équilibre sur les ergots. Ainsi, les brins longitudinaux 32 basculent forcément d'un côté ou de l'autre de ces ergots, emmenant ainsi le verrou soit vers sa position ouverte, soit vers sa position fermée. Ce système pourrait aussi fonctionner avec un seul ergot.As can be seen for example in Figure 5, the rod 30 extends in a compartment 36 delimited inside the fixed body 21. This compartment 36 is in particular delimited transversely by two external longitudinal partitions 38 along which are move the two longitudinal strands 32 of the connecting rod 30 when handling the system maneuver between its open position and its closed position. Each of these partitions external 38 has a lug 40 which extends transversely inwards so as to be find across the vertical component of the path of the connecting rod 30. Of course, these pins 40 are arranged so as to cooperate with the front end of the connecting rod 30. As we can see in Figures 3 and 4, the upper and lower edges of the pins 40 are chamfered. When the system is operated, the connecting rod 30 passes above or below the lugs 40 by elastic deformation of the longitudinal strands 32 which, due to the profiles of the lugs, cannot remain balanced on the lugs. Thus, the longitudinal strands 32 necessarily tilt on one side or the other of these lugs, thus taking the lock either towards its open position, or towards its closed position. This system could also work with a single lug.

Bien entendu, d'autres moyens peuvent être prévus pour assurer le blocage du système de manoeuvre dans l'une ou l'autre de ses positions d'ouverture ou de fermeture, ou, comme décrit ci-dessus, dans l'une et l'autre de ces positions.Of course, other means can be provided to block the system of maneuver in either of its open or closed positions, or, as described above, in either of these positions.
