Selon l'invention, la raquette à neige, portant la référence générale (1) est constituée par un tamis (2) qui forme par sa face inférieure (3), la surface portante de la raquette.According to the invention, the snowshoe, with the general reference (1) is constituted by a sieve (2) which forms by its lower face (3), the bearing surface of the racket.

Le tamis (2) se présente avantageusement sous la forme d'une plaque ajourée qui peut être rigide, sensiblement rigide ou souple du moins sur une partie, qui comporte sous sa face inférieure (3) un ensemble de parois et d'éléments d'accroche qui font saillie vers le bas (BA) destinés à renforcer la tenue de la raquette à neige sur la neige, et permettre ainsi la progression de l'utilisateur en toute sécurité.The screen (2) is advantageously in the form of a perforated plate which can be rigid, substantially rigid or flexible at least on a part, which comprises under its lower face (3) a set of walls and elements of hangs that protrude downward (BA) to enhance the snowshoe's holding on the snow, and thus allow the progression of the user safely.

Le tamis (2) est de forme allongée et présente un axe longitudinal (X, X') s'étendant de l'avant (AV) vers l'arrière (AR), l'avant comprenant une spatule (20) courbe, relevée vers haut, constituant le talon (21) de la raquette.The sieve (2) has an elongate shape and has a longitudinal axis (X, X ') extending from the front (AV) towards the rear (AR), the front comprising a curved spatula (20), raised upwards, constituting the heel (21) of the racket.

Bien entendu, la raquette à neige (1) de l'invention comporte des moyens de retenue de la chaussure (5) destinés à solidariser la chaussure à la raquette. Ces moyens de retenue présentent une configuration qui permet au moins au talon de la chaussure (5) de pivoter vers le haut selon F au cours de sa progression. Ces moyens de retenue peuvent être de tout type notamment comme par exemple ceux décrits dans la demande de brevet français N° 14 53466 .Of course, the snowshoe (1) of the invention comprises retaining means of the shoe (5) for securing the shoe to the racket. These retaining means have a configuration that allows at least the heel of the shoe (5) to pivot upwards along F during its progression. These retaining means may be of any type, for example, for example those described in French Patent Application No. 14 53466 .

Selon le mode préféré, la surface inférieure (3) du tamis (2) comprend au moins dans la zone située sous la chaussure des moyens d'accroche qui font saillie vers le bas sous la surface inférieure (3) dudit tamis de façon à présenter un profil d'accroche sur la surface du terrain.According to the preferred embodiment, the lower surface (3) of the sieve (2) comprises at least in the zone under the shoe attachment means which project downwards under the lower surface (3) of said sieve so as to present a grip profile on the surface of the ground.

Ainsi les moyens d'accroche sont constitués de moyens d'accroche avant (60a, 60b) et de moyens d'accroche arrière (6a, 6b).Thus the attachment means are constituted by front attachment means (60a, 60b) and rear attachment means (6a, 6b).

Selon le mode préféré, ce ou ces moyens d'accroche (60a, 60b, 6a, 6b) est/sont constitué(s) par des crampons avantageusement métalliques faisant saillie vers la bas (BA) et disposés de part et d'autre de l'axe longitudinal (X, X') de symétrie générale du tamis (2). Il va de soit que tous autres moyens d'accrochage pourraient être adoptés, comme par exemple des parois, ou encore par des griffes métalliques.According to the preferred embodiment, this or these attachment means (60a, 60b, 6a, 6b) is / are constituted by advantageously metal studs projecting downwards (BA) and arranged on either side of the longitudinal axis (X, X ') of general symmetry of the sieve (2). It goes without saying that other means of attachment could be adopted, such as walls, or by metal claws.

Selon la caractéristique principale de l'invention, la raquette (1) comprend des moyens de réglage de la position longitudinale des moyens d'accroche arrière et qui selon le mode préféré illustré, sont des crampons (6a, 6b).According to the main feature of the invention, the racket (1) comprises means for adjusting the longitudinal position of the rear hooking means and which according to the preferred embodiment shown, are crampons (6a, 6b).

Grâce à la possibilité de pouvoir positionner les moyens d'accroche arrière (6a, 6b), l'utilisateur peut positionner ces moyens d'accroche là où ils doivent être positionnés pour permettre un accrochage optimal. Ainsi, grâce aux moyens de réglage en position longitudiale, l'utilisateur a la possibilité de positionner les moyens d'accroche sous le talon de sa chaussure quel que soit la pointure et donc la longueur de la chaussure.Thanks to the possibility of positioning the rear attachment means (6a, 6b), the user can position these attachment means where they must be positioned to allow optimal attachment. Thus, thanks to the adjustment means in the longitudinal position, the user has the opportunity to position the attachment means under the heel of his shoe regardless of the size and therefore the length of the shoe.

Les figures 4a et 4b sont des vues latérales de la raquette avec une chaussure de grande taille.The Figures 4a and 4b are side views of the racket with a large shoe.

Les figures 5a et 5b sont des vues latérales de la raquette avec une chaussure de petite taille.The Figures 5a and 5b are side views of the racket with a small shoe.

Les crampons (6a, 6b) constituant les moyens d'accroche sont montés sur une pièce indépendante mobile (7) qui est fixée de façon amovible au tamis (2), pour pouvoir être déplacée longitudinalement pour être positionnée sous le talon de la chaussure, quelle que soit sa taille, c'est-à-dire sa longueur.The cleats (6a, 6b) constituting the attachment means are mounted on a movable independent piece (7) which is removably attached to the sieve (2), to be movable longitudinally to be positioned under the heel of the shoe, whatever its size, that is, its length.

Ainsi, la pièce indépendante mobile (7) est par exemple fixée au tamis (2) grâce à des vis de fixation, respectivement (8a, 8b) qui sont engagées dans des trous de fixation (10) réalisés dans le tamis. A cet effet le tamis (2) comprend une succession de trous de fixation (10) permettant de fixer la pièce indépendante mobile (7) à différents endroits, et ce à des positions longitudinales choisies en fonction de la longueur de la chaussure.Thus, the movable independent piece (7) is for example fixed to the screen (2) by means of fixing screws, respectively (8a, 8b) which are engaged in fixing holes (10) made in the screen. For this purpose the screen (2) comprises a succession of fixing holes (10) for fixing the movable independent part (7) in different places, and this to longitudinal positions chosen according to the length of the shoe.

Selon le mode de réalisation donné à titre d'exemple, la pièce indépendante mobile (7) est réalisée en matière plastique et comprend deux crampons métalliques (6a, 6b). Par ailleurs les crampons sont logés dans des saillies de retenue pour y être fixés par les vis de fixation (8a, 8b) afin de rendre les crampons (6a, 6b) solidaires de la pièce indépendante mobile. Les vis assurant à la fois la retenue des crampons et la fixation de la pièce indépendante mobile au tamis.According to the embodiment given by way of example, the movable independent piece (7) is made of plastic material and comprises two metal cleats (6a, 6b). Furthermore the studs are housed in retaining projections to be fixed by the fixing screws (8a, 8b) to make the crampons (6a, 6b) integral with the movable independent part. The screws ensuring both the retention of the crampons and the attachment of the mobile independent part to the sieve.

Afin d'assurer la stabilité de la pièce indépendante mobile (7) sa partie supérieure (12) coopère avec un logement (13) pratiqué dans le tamis, la coopération se faisant par une ou plusieurs forme(s) complémentaire (s) en saillie (13) engagée(s) dans le logement correspondant.To ensure the stability of the movable independent part (7) its upper part (12) cooperates with a housing (13) formed in the sieve, the cooperation being made by one or more complementary shape (s) projecting (13) engaged in the corresponding dwelling.

Bien entendu afin de pouvoir fixer la pièce indépendante mobile (7) dans différentes positions en fonction de la longueur de la chaussure de l'utilisateur, le tamis comprend une succession de logement (13). Chacun des logements (13) ayant une forme complémentaire à celle des saillies (11a, 11b) de la pièce indépendante mobile (7).Of course in order to be able to fix the movable independent piece (7) in different positions depending on the length of the shoe of the user, the screen comprises a housing succession (13). Each of the housings (13) having a shape complementary to that of the projections (11a, 11b) of the movable independent part (7).

Ajoutons que selon le mode de réalisation donné à titre d'exemple, les deux saillies de retenue des crampons, sont reliées par une paroi transversale en saillie (14). Cette paroi améliore d'une part la résistance des saillies de retenue, et d'autre part les qualités d'accroche dans la neige de la raquette.Add that according to the embodiment given by way of example, the two retaining projections of the crampons are connected by a projecting transverse wall (14). This wall improves on the one hand the resistance of the retaining projections, and on the other hand the qualities of grip in the snow of the racket.

La figure 7 illustre une variante de réalisation des moyens d'accroche, selon laquelle les crampons du mode de réalisation décrits précédemment sont remplacés par deux lames métalliques (61a, 61b) s'étendant longitudinalement voir sensiblement longitudinalement, ou transversalement, dont la bordure inférieure comprend une succession de dents (60).The figure 7 illustrates an alternative embodiment of the attachment means, wherein the crampons of the embodiment described above are replaced by two metal blades (61a, 61b) extending longitudinally or substantially longitudinally or transversely, the lower edge comprises a succession teeth (60).

Les figures 8a et 8b illustrent schématiquement un perfectionnement selon lequel une cale de montée (20) est associée à la pièce indépendante mobile (7) afin qu'elle soit positionnée exactement sous le talon de la chaussure, comme le sont les moyens d'accroche (6a, 6b).The Figures 8a and 8b schematically illustrate an improvement according to which a climbing wedge (20) is associated with the moving independent piece (7) so that it is positioned exactly under the heel of the shoe, as are the attachment means (6a, 6b).

La figure 8a est une vue avec la cale de montée escamotée, tandis que la figure 8b est une illustration avec la cale de montée en position d'utilisation. On a compris que la cale est par exemple constituée par un étrier monté pivotant sur la pièce indépendante mobile pour pouvoir prendre deux positions, à savoir une position escamotée telle qu'illustrée par la figure 8a et une position active d'utilisation telle qu'illustrée à la figure 8b.The figure 8a is a view with the slip-up wedge, while the figure 8b is an illustration with the hold wedge in use position. It is understood that the wedge is for example constituted by a stirrup pivotally mounted on the movable independent part to take two positions, namely a retracted position as illustrated by the figure 8a and an active use position as illustrated in FIG. figure 8b .

Dans la position escamotée la cale de montée est hors du champ de la chaussure, tandis que dans la position active d'utilisation elle se trouve sous le talon de la chaussure.In the retracted position the climbing wedge is out of the field of the shoe, while in the active position of use it is under the heel of the shoe.

Ajoutons qu'un patin d'amortissement, tel que celui décrit dans le brevet français publié sous le numéro 2 760 378, peut être prévu, et monté sur la surface supérieure de la pièce indépendante mobile.Add that a damping pad, such as that described in the French patent published under No. 2,760,378, may be provided, and mounted on the upper surface of the movable independent part.

Selon le mode de réalisation décrit à titre d'exemple la pièce mobile indépendante comprend deux crampons (6a, 6b), mais il pourrait en être autrement avec un nombre de crampons supérieur à deux.According to the embodiment described by way of example, the independent moving part comprises two studs (6a, 6b), but it could be otherwise with a number of crampons greater than two.

Bien entendu, l'invention n'est pas limitée aux modes de réalisation décrits et représentés à titre d'exemples, mais elle comprend aussi tous les équivalents techniques ainsi que leurs combinaisons.Of course, the invention is not limited to the embodiments described and represented by way of examples, but it also includes all the technical equivalents as well as their combinations.

Ainsi et par exemple, les moyens de réglage en position longitudinale des moyens d'accroche peuvent être de type à réglage rapide sans nécessité d'un outillage particulier, comme par exemple un réglage de type à crémaillère avec un verrou mobile, coopérant avec la dite crémaillère.Thus, and for example, the means for adjusting the longitudinal position of the attachment means can be of rapid adjustment type without the need for special tools, such as a rack type adjustment with a movable latch cooperating with the said rack.

Il va de soit aussi que la raquette (1) peut être tout ou partie en plastique, voir en métal ou être constituée par un cadre métallique périphérique avec une paroi interne en matière plastique ou en toile plastique ou autre.It is also true that the racket (1) may be all or part of plastic, see metal or be constituted by a peripheral metal frame with an inner wall of plastic or plastic cloth or other.
