Description

DISPOSITIF DE FIXATION A ACCROCHAGE INTÈGRE FIXING DEVICE WITH INTEGRATED LOCKING
L'invention se rapporte à un dispositif de fixation d'une chaussure à un article de sport.The invention relates to a device for attaching a shoe to a sports article.
L'invention pourra s'appliquer notamment à des dispositifs de fixation d'une chaussure sur un ski. Elle pourra notamment être mise en œuvre pour la conception de fixations de ski de fond, de ski de randonnée alpine, de ski de randonnée nordique ou de ski Telemark. Elle pourra aussi être mise en œuvre pour la conception de fixations de patins à glace, de patins à roulettes, ou de raquettes.The invention may be applied in particular to devices for attaching a boot to a ski. It can in particular be implemented for the design of cross-country ski bindings, alpine ski touring, Nordic ski touring or Telemark ski. It can also be used for the design of ice skate, roller skate or racket attachments.
Un exemple d'un tel type de fixation est décrit dans la demande de brevet WO00/13755 à laquelle on se référera utilement pour une compréhension globale du fonctionnement d'une telle fixation. Un dispositif du même genre, plus spécifiquement dédié à la randonnée alpine et au Télémark est décrit dans la demande de brevet EP-A1 -890.379.An example of such a type of attachment is described in patent application WO00 / 13755 to which reference will usefully be made for a global understanding of the operation of such a attachment. A device of the same kind, more specifically dedicated to alpine hiking and Telemark is described in patent application EP-A1 -890,379.
Le principe de ces dispositifs est de permettre une fixation de la chaussure sur le ski qui soit parfaitement rigide en torsion mais qui permette un libre soulèvement du talon de la chaussure. Le dispositif décrit dans le document WO00/13755 est un perfectionnement des systèmes de fixation actuellement utilisés par exemple en ski de fond ou en ski de randonnée dans lesquels la chaussure est articulée par son extrémité avant autour d'un axe transversal par rapport au ski. En effet, le mouvement du pied par rapport au ski, lors du soulèvement du talon, est un mouvement qui n'est plus une simple rotation et qui se rapproche le plus possible du mouvement naturel de déroulement du pied. L'invention pourra aussi être mise en œuvre dans le cadre d'un dispositif de fixation du type de ceux décrits dans le document O96/37269.The principle of these devices is to allow a fixation of the boot on the ski which is perfectly rigid in torsion but which allows free lifting of the heel of the boot. The device described in document WO00 / 13755 is an improvement on the binding systems currently used, for example in cross-country skiing or in ski touring in which the boot is articulated by its front end around an axis transverse to the ski. In fact, the movement of the foot relative to the ski, when the heel is raised, is a movement which is no longer a simple rotation and which is as close as possible to the natural movement of the foot. The invention may also be implemented in the context of a fixing device of the type described in document O96 / 37269.
Dans tous les cas, la chaussure n'est plus accrochée à l'article de sport par un ou plusieurs points fixes, mais elle est accrochée (et solidaire) d'un organe de liaison qui, lui, peut se déplacer par à rapport à l'article de sport. Ce déplacement peut être une simple rotation mais, dans les exemples cités ci-dessus, il s'agit plutôt d'un déplacement complexe mêlant des mouvements de rotation et de translation.In all cases, the shoe is no longer attached to the sporting article by one or more fixed points, but it is attached (and secured) to a connecting member which, for its part, can move relative to sports article. This displacement can be a simple rotation but, in the examples cited above, it is rather a complex displacement mixing rotational and translational movements.
Dans tous les cas, ces types de fixation peuvent comporter des moyens de rappel élastique qui ramènent l'organe de liaison vers sa position basse qui correspond à la position qu'il occupe lorsque la chaussure à laquelle il est lié est en appui à l'avant et à l'arrière sur le ski. De tels moyens de rappel élastique seront par exemple très utiles lorsque le dispositif de fixation est destiné à la pratique du ski de fond, du patin à glace, du patin à roulettes.In all cases, these types of fastening may include elastic return means which bring the connecting member back to its low position which corresponds to the position which it occupies when the shoe to which it is linked is in contact with the front and back on the ski. Such elastic return means will for example be very useful when the binding device is intended for the practice of cross-country skiing, ice skating, roller skating.
Dans les documents WO00/13755 et WO96/37269, il n'est pas décrit comment la chaussure est destinée à être accrochée à l'organe de liaison.In documents WO00 / 13755 and WO96 / 37269, it is not described how the shoe is intended to be hung on the connecting member.
En effet, lorsqu'on veut que la chaussure puisse être détachée de l'article de sport, il faut prévoir que la manœuvre d'accrochage et de décrochage se fasse de la manière la plus simple possible pour l'utilisateur. Le mécanisme d'accrochage doit donc être à la fois simple, fiable et léger, et il doit notamment comporter un minimum de pièces pour demeurer compact et peu coûteux à produire. Dans ce but, l'invention propose un dispositif de fixation d'une chaussure à un article de sport, du type comportant un organe de liaison à la chaussure qui est susceptible de se déplacer par rapport à l'article de sport entre une position basse et une position haute, et du type comportant des moyens de rappel élastique de l'organe de liaison vers sa position basse, caractérisé en ce que l'organe de liaison comporte un verrou qui est mobile entre une position ouverte et une position fermée dans laquelle le verrou coopère avec un moyen d'ancrage lié à la chaussure pour assurer l'accrochage de la chaussure sur l'organe de liaison, et en ce que le verrou est ramené élastiquement vers sa position fermée par les moyens de rappel élastique de l'organe de liaison vers sa position basse. D'autres caractéristiques et avantages de l'invention apparaîtront à la lecture de la description détaillée qui suit ainsi qu'à la vue des dessins annexés dans lesquels : la figure 1 est une vue schématique, en coupe selon le plan longitudinal et vertical I-I indiqué à la figure 2, d'un dispositif de fixation conforme aux enseignements de l'invention, illustré en position basse ; - la figure 2 est une vue schématique de dessus du dispositif de fixation de la figure 1 ; la figure 3 est une vue similaire à celle de la figure 1, dans laquelle le dispositif de fixation est illustré en position basse, avec une chaussure en cours d'accrochage sur le dispositif ; la figure 4 est figure similaire à celle de la figure 3 dans laquelle la chaussure est accrochée sur le dispositif ; la figure 5 est une figure similaire à celle de la figure 5 dans laquelle la. chaussure a entraîné le dispositif vers sa position haute ; les figures 6, 7, 8 sont des vues similaires, respectivement, aux figures 1, 3 et 5 illustrant un deuxième mode de réalisation de l'invention. Le dispositif de fixation 10 illustré sur les figures 1 à 5 comporte une embase 12 qui est destinée à être fixée sur un article de sport (non représenté), mais qui pourrait aussi être directement intégrée dans ce dernier. Le dispositif de fixation 10 comporte aussi un organe de liaison 14 sur lequel la chaussure est destinée à être accrochée.In fact, when it is desired that the shoe can be detached from the sporting article, provision must be made for the attachment and detachment maneuver to be carried out in the simplest possible way for the user. The attachment mechanism must therefore be both simple, reliable and light, and in particular it must include a minimum of parts to remain compact and inexpensive to produce. To this end, the invention provides a device for attaching a shoe to a sporting article, of the type comprising a member for connecting to the shoe which is capable of moving relative to the sporting article between a low position. and a high position, and of the type comprising elastic return means of the connecting member to its low position, characterized in that the connecting member comprises a latch which is movable between an open position and a closed position in which the lock cooperates with an anchoring means linked to the shoe to ensure the attachment of the shoe on the connecting member, and in that the lock is returned elastically to its closed position by the elastic return means of the connecting member to its low position. Other characteristics and advantages of the invention will appear on reading the detailed description which follows, as well as on seeing the appended drawings in which: FIG. 1 is a schematic view, in section along the indicated longitudinal and vertical plane II in Figure 2, a fixing device according to the teachings of the invention, illustrated in the lower position; - Figure 2 is a schematic top view of the fixing device of Figure 1; FIG. 3 is a view similar to that of FIG. 1, in which the fastening device is illustrated in the low position, with a shoe being hooked on the device; Figure 4 is a figure similar to that of Figure 3 in which the shoe is hung on the device; Figure 5 is a figure similar to that of Figure 5 in which the. shoe has driven the device to its upper position; Figures 6, 7, 8 are views similar, respectively, to Figures 1, 3 and 5 illustrating a second embodiment of the invention. The fastening device 10 illustrated in FIGS. 1 to 5 comprises a base 12 which is intended to be fixed to a sports article (not shown), but which could also be directly integrated into the latter. The fastening device 10 also includes a connecting member 14 on which the shoe is intended to be hung.
Cet accrochage, objet de l'invention, est de préférence un système de type "step-in" dans lequel l'accrochage de la chaussure sur l'organe de liaison 14 s'effectue de manière automatique, par simple contact entre les deux. Le décrochage imposera une action manuelle de l'utilisateur.This attachment, object of the invention, is preferably a "step-in" type system in which the attachment of the shoe to the connecting member 14 takes place automatically, by simple contact between the two. Dropping out will require manual user action.
Comme décrit dans le document WOOO/13755, l'organe de liaison 14 est prévu pour être fixé sous la partie avant de la chaussure et pour basculer entre une position basse illustrée à la figure 4 (l'organe de liaison est alors sensiblement horizontal) et une position haute illustrée à la figure 5 lorsque le talon de l'utilisateur se soulève par rapport au ski.As described in document WOOO / 13755, the connecting member 14 is designed to be fixed under the front part of the shoe and to switch between a low position illustrated in FIG. 4 (the connecting member is then substantially horizontal) and a high position illustrated in FIG. 5 when the user's heel is raised relative to the ski.
Dans le mode de réalisation représenté, l'organe de liaison 14, d'orientation longitudinale, est lié à l'embase par une biellette 16 qui est montée à rotation autour de deux axes transversaux Al et A2 d'une part sur un plot 13 de l'embase 12, et d'autre part sur l'organe de liaison 14. La biellette 16 est elle aussi d'orientation longitudinaleIn the embodiment shown, the connecting member 14, of longitudinal orientation, is linked to the base by a link 16 which is mounted for rotation about two axes transverse Al and A2 on the one hand on a stud 13 of the base 12, and on the other hand on the connecting member 14. The rod 16 is also of longitudinal orientation
Dans l'exemple illustré, la biellette 16 est articulée par son extrémité arrière (par rapport au sens longitudinal de l'article de sport) sur l'embase 12 et par son extrémité avant sur l'extrémité avant de l'organe de liaison 14 de sorte que, en position basse, la biellette 16 et l'organe de liaison 14 sont imbriqués l'un dans l'autre.In the example illustrated, the link 16 is articulated by its rear end (relative to the longitudinal direction of the sports article) on the base 12 and by its front end on the front end of the connecting member 14 so that, in the low position, the link 16 and the connecting member 14 are nested one inside the other.
Pour cela, on peut par exemple prévoir que, tel que cela est illustré sur la figure 2, l'organe de liaison 14 est constitué en fait de deux éléments longitudinaux parallèles 15 décalés transversalement et réunis par des entretoises, la biellette 16 étant alors reçue entre les deux éléments parallèles. La biellette 16 illustrée sur la figure 3 est elle aussi conçue sous la forme de deux éléments longitudinaux parallèles 17 entretoisés.For this, one can for example provide that, as illustrated in Figure 2, the connecting member 14 is in fact made up of two parallel longitudinal elements 15 offset transversely and joined by spacers, the rod 16 then being received between the two parallel elements. The link 16 illustrated in FIG. 3 is also designed in the form of two parallel longitudinal elements 17 braced.
On peut aussi prévoir que la biellette 16 soit constituée de deux éléments parallèles disposés de part et d'autre de l'organe de liaison 14. On peut encore mettre en œuvre l'invention en disposant la biellette en avant de l'organe de liaison, c'est à-dire en l'articulant par son extrémité avant sur l'embase et par son extrémité arrière sur l'extrémité avant de l'organe de liaison.It is also possible to provide for the link 16 to be made up of two parallel elements arranged on either side of the connecting member 14. It is also possible to implement the invention by placing the link in front of the connecting member. , that is to say by articulating it by its front end on the base and by its rear end on the front end of the connecting member.
En position basse, l'organe de liaison 14 est en appui, directement ou indirectement, sur l'embase 12 par son extrémité arrière 18.In the low position, the connecting member 14 is supported, directly or indirectly, on the base 12 by its rear end 18.
Lors du mouvement de soulèvement du talon, lorsque l'organe de liaison 14 passe de sa position basse à sa position haute, l'organe de liaison 14 est en appui sur l'embase par son extrémité avant qui présente, sur une partie au moins, un profil courbe 20. Par un dessin optimal du profil courbe 20, et par un choix judicieux de la longueur et de l'angle initial de la biellette 16, on conditionne le mouvement relatif de l'organe de liaison 14 par rapport à l'embase 12 lors de la phase de soulèvement du talon. Dans l'exemple illustré, on voit en comparant les figures 4 et 5 que le mouvement angulaire de la biellette 16 est faible, par exemple de l'ordre de 10 à 20 degrés lorsque l'organe de liaison 14 bascule d'un angle de l'ordre d'une soixantaine de degrés, et que, compte tenu de l'angle initial de la biellette, il se traduit par un déplacement vers l'avant faible mais réel de l'axe A2. On notera que le mouvement de soulèvement du talon s'effectue grâce à un mouvement de roulement avec glissement du profil courbe 20 sur l'embase 12.During the heel lifting movement, when the connecting member 14 passes from its low position to its high position, the connecting member 14 is supported on the base by its front end which has, on at least part , a curved profile 20. By an optimal design of the curved profile 20, and by a judicious choice of the length and the initial angle of the rod 16, the relative movement of the connecting member 14 is conditioned relative to the 'base 12 during the heel lifting phase. In the example illustrated, it can be seen by comparing FIGS. 4 and 5 that the angular movement of the link 16 is small, for example of the order of 10 to 20 degrees when the connecting member 14 swivels by an angle of the order of sixty degrees, and that, taking into account the initial angle of the link, it results in a small but real forward displacement of the axis A2. It will be noted that the heel lifting movement is carried out by means of a rolling movement with sliding of the curved profile 20 on the base 12.
Le dispositif de fixation 10 comporte aussi des moyens de rappel élastique de l'organe de liaison 14 vers sa position basse.The fastening device 10 also comprises means for elastic return of the connecting member 14 to its low position.
Dans le premier exemple de réalisation de l'invention illustré aux figures 1 à 5, les moyens élastiques comportent un ressort de compression 22 qui est lié à l'organe de liaison 14 et qui est actionné par un levier 24 articulé sur un autre élément du dispositif 10. Dans cet exemple, le ressort de compression 22 est un ressort en fil d'acier hélicoïdal, mais il pourrait aussi être réalisé selon toute autre manière équivalente, par exemple sous la forme d'un tampon en matériau élastique. De même, sur les figures, le ressort 22 est un ressort unique, mais on peut prévoir que le ressort soit réalisé sous la forme de plusieurs éléments montés en parallèle. Le ressort de compression 22 est lié à l'organe de liaison 14 de manière à en suivre tous les mouvements. En position basse de l'organe de liaison, le ressort s'étend selon une direction longitudinale sensiblement horizontale. Comme cela sera expliqué plus en détail plus bas, une extrémité longitudinale avant du ressort 22 est en appui sur un verrou 23 de l'organe de liaison tandis que son extrémité arrière est prévue pour coopérer avec le levier 24. Dans l'exemple illustré, le levier 24 est réalisé sous la forme de deux éléments longitudinaux parallèles qui sont décalés transversalement de chaque côté d'un plan de symétrie longitudinal et vertical du dispositif 10 de manière à encadrer le ressort 22, et qui sont réunis à leur extrémité arrière par un élément transversal 30 sur lequel le ressort prend appui. Le ressort 22 et le verrou 23 sont montés sur une tige de guidage 26, solidaire de l'organe de liaison 14, de manière à pouvoir glisser et coulisser librement sur la tige. Le verrou 23 peut donc se déplacer entre une position (avancée) de fermeture et une position (reculée) d'ouverture. La tige de guidage 26 permet notamment d'éviter que le ressort 22 ne se déforme de manière trop importante en flambement. La tige de guidage 26 est ici rectiligne, mais elle pourrait aussi être courbe (dans le plan longitudinal et vertical de la figure). On remarque que, dans le mode de réalisation illustré, la tige 26 comporte un épaulement 25 qui limite vers l'avant la possibilité de déplacement du verrou 23, donc la possibilité pour le ressort 22 de se détendre.In the first embodiment of the invention illustrated in Figures 1 to 5, the elastic means comprise a compression spring 22 which is linked to the connecting member 14 and which is actuated by a lever 24 articulated on another element of the device 10. In this example, the compression spring 22 is a helical steel wire spring, but it could also be produced in any other equivalent manner, for example in the form of a pad made of elastic material. Similarly, in the figures, the spring 22 is a single spring, but provision can be made for the spring to be produced in the form of several elements mounted in parallel. The compression spring 22 is linked to the connecting member 14 so as to follow all its movements. In the lower position of the connecting member, the spring extends in a substantially horizontal longitudinal direction. As will be explained in more detail below, a front longitudinal end of the spring 22 is supported on a latch 23 of the connecting member while its rear end is designed to cooperate with the lever 24. In the example illustrated, the lever 24 is produced in the form of two parallel longitudinal elements which are offset transversely on each side of a longitudinal and vertical plane of symmetry of the device 10 so as to frame the spring 22, and which are joined at their rear end by a transverse element 30 on which the spring bears. The spring 22 and the latch 23 are mounted on a guide rod 26, integral with the connecting member 14, so as to be able to slide and slide freely on the rod. The latch 23 can therefore move between a (advanced) closed position and a (retracted) open position. The guide rod 26 makes it possible in particular to prevent the spring 22 from being deformed excessively in buckling. The guide rod 26 is here rectilinear, but it could also be curved (in the longitudinal and vertical plane of the figure). Note that, in the illustrated embodiment, the rod 26 has a shoulder 25 which limits forward the possibility of movement of the latch 23, therefore the possibility for the spring 22 to relax.
Dans l'exemple illustré, le levier 24 est articulé, par son extrémité avant, sur l'embase autour de l'axe Al, c'est-à-dire l'axe d'articulation de la biellette 16 sur l'embase 12. Cependant, on peut aussi prévoir que le levier 24 soit articulé sur l'embase autour d'un autre axe transversal ou qu'il soit articulé sur un autre élément du dispositif. Ainsi, le levier 24 pourrait être articulé sur la biellette 16 autour d'un axe transversal agencé entre les axes Al et A2. L'extrémité arrière 30 du levier 24 est montée de manière coulissante sur la tige de guidageIn the example illustrated, the lever 24 is articulated, by its front end, on the base around the axis Al, that is to say the axis of articulation of the rod 16 on the base 12 However, it can also be provided that the lever 24 is articulated on the base around another transverse axis or that it is articulated on another element of the device. Thus, the lever 24 could be articulated on the link 16 around a transverse axis arranged between the axes A1 and A2. The rear end 30 of the lever 24 is slidably mounted on the guide rod
26 et prend appui sur l'extrémité arrière du ressort 22. Des jeux de fonctionnement sont prévus pour empêcher tout coincement du mécanisme. Ainsi, lorsque l'organe de liaison se déplace entre ses positions haute et basse, il entraîne avec lui l'extrémité arrière 30 du levier. Comme le seul mouvement possible pour le levier 24 est un mouvement de rotation autour de l'axe Al, mouvement qui est donc différent de celui de l'organe de liaison (qui , suit un mouvement de rotation autour de l'axe A2, lequel est un axe mobile en fonction de la position angulaire de l'organe de liaison), il apparaît donc un mouvement différentiel entre l'extrémité arrière du levier 24 et l'organe de liaison 14. Ce mouvement différentiel se traduit donc par une trajectoire de l'extrémité arrière du levier le long de la tige de guidage 26 De par la géométrie des pièces, on peut voir sur les figures 4 et 5 que, lorsque l'organe de liaison 14 passe de sa position basse à sa position haute, l'extrémité arrière 30 du levier 24 se rapproche de la surface de butée 25, en comprimant le ressort 22 (le verrou 23 se trouvant plaqué vers l'avant). On voit que l'extrémité avant de la tige 26 forme un T dont la partie transversale assure la fonction de tige d'articulation d'axe A2 entre l'organe de liaison 14 et la biellette 16. De la sorte, on voit que la force de poussée exercée par le ressort 22 sur l'organe de liaison est toujours dirigée en direction de l'axe A2. On voit aussi que cette force tend à créer, sur l'ensemble biellette/organe de liaison, un couple de rotation par rapport à l'axe Al qui force la rampe 20 en appui contre l'embase 12, quelle que soit la position angulaire de l'ensemble.26 and is supported on the rear end of the spring 22. Operating clearances are provided to prevent any jamming of the mechanism. Thus, when the connecting member moves between its high and low positions, it carries with it the rear end 30 of the lever. As the only possible movement for the lever 24 is a rotational movement around the axis A1, a movement which is therefore different from that of the connecting member (which follows a rotational movement around the axis A2, which is a movable axis as a function of the angular position of the connecting member), there therefore appears a differential movement between the rear end of the lever 24 and the connecting member 14. This differential movement therefore results in a trajectory of the rear end of the lever along the guide rod 26 From the geometry of the parts, it can be seen in FIGS. 4 and 5 that, when the connecting member 14 passes from its low position to its high position, the the rear end 30 of the lever 24 approaches the abutment surface 25, compressing the spring 22 (the bolt 23 being pressed forward). It can be seen that the front end of the rod 26 forms a T, the transverse part of which performs the function of an articulation rod of axis A2 between the connecting member 14 and the connecting rod 16. In this way, it can be seen that the pushing force exerted by the spring 22 on the connecting member is always directed towards the axis A2. It can also be seen that this force tends to create, on the link / connecting member assembly, a torque relative to the axis Al which forces the ramp 20 to bear against the base 12, whatever the angular position from the whole.
Par réaction, l'extrémité arrière du ressort crée sur le levier 24 un couple autour de l'axe Al qui force l'extrémité arrière du levier vers le bas. Comme l'extrémité arrière du levier 24 est liée à l'organe de liaison 14 par l'intermédiaire de la tige de guidage 26, le levier 24 force l'extrémité arrière de l'organe de liaison en appui contre l'embase 12. Cette conception des moyens de rappel élastique est particulièrement intéressante par sa compacité.By reaction, the rear end of the spring creates on the lever 24 a torque around the axis A1 which forces the rear end of the lever down. As the rear end of the lever 24 is linked to the connecting member 14 by means of the guide rod 26, the lever 24 forces the rear end of the connecting member to bear against the base 12. This design of the elastic return means is particularly interesting by its compactness.
On décrira maintenant plus en détails les moyens qui assurent l'accrochage de la chaussure sur l'organe de liaison.We will now describe in more detail the means which ensure the attachment of the shoe on the connecting member.
Dans l'exemple illustré, la chaussure 11 comporte deux moyens d'ancrages 31, 32 qui sont agencés dans la semelle de la chaussure de manière à affleurer en dessous de celle-ci. Des moyens d'ancrage 31, 32 de ce type sont décrits dans les demandes de brevet EP-A-913.102 et EP-A-913.103 auxquelles on se référera utilement pour plus de détails. Ainsi, il s'agit ici de deux barrettes cylindriques de révolution agencées en travers d'une gorge longitudinale aménagée dans la face inférieure de la semelle. La barrette avant 31 est par exemple située au niveau de l'extrémité avant de la semelle et la barrette arrière 32 est décalée vers l'arrière d'environ 50 millimètres. Cependant, l'invention pourrait être mise en œuvre avec des moyens d'ancrage présentant une autre géométrie.In the example illustrated, the shoe 11 comprises two anchoring means 31, 32 which are arranged in the sole of the shoe so as to be flush with the latter. Anchoring means 31, 32 of this type are described in patent applications EP-A-913.102 and EP-A-913.103 to which reference will usefully be made for more details. Thus, these are two cylindrical bars of revolution arranged across a longitudinal groove arranged in the underside of the sole. The front bar 31 is for example located at the front end of the sole and the rear bar 32 is offset backwards by about 50 millimeters. However, the invention could be implemented with anchoring means having another geometry.
L'organe de liaison comporte, à son extrémité avant, un crochet fixe 34 qui délimite une gorge 36 ouverte longitudinalement vers l' arrière et qui est prévu pour recevoir la barrette cylindrique avant 31 de la chaussure. Le crochet 34 est aménagé au-dessus de la face supérieure de l'organe de liaison 14. Le verrou 23 présente lui aussi une forme de crochet, mais il délimite une gorge 38 ouverte vers l'avant. La face supérieure du verrou 23 présente un pan 40 incliné vers le bas et vers l'avant.The connecting member comprises, at its front end, a fixed hook 34 which delimits a groove 36 open longitudinally towards the rear and which is designed to receive the front cylindrical bar 31 of the shoe. The hook 34 is arranged above the upper face of the connecting member 14. The lock 23 also has a hook shape, but it delimits a groove 38 open towards the front. The upper face of the lock 23 has a pan 40 inclined downward and forward.
Au repos, comme on peut le voir sur la figure 1, le ressort 22 pousse le verrou 23 en appui vers l'avant contre la surface de butée 25. Cette surface de butée est positionnée de telle sorte que, lorsqu'on engage la barrette avant de la chaussure dans le crochet avant 34, la barrette arrière 32 se trouve juste à l'aplomb du verrou 23 (voir figure 3). De la sorte, lorsque la barrette arrière est abaissée verticalement vers le bas, par pivotement autour de la barrette avant 31, la barrette arrière vient en appui contre le pan incliné 40 et provoque le recul du verrou 23 par rapport à l'organe de liaison 14, en comprimant le ressort 22, jusqu'à ce que le verrou soit complètement effacé. La barrette arrière se trouve alors en regard de la gorge 38 et le verrou peut de nouveau avancer sous l'action de rappel du ressort 22 jusqu'à ce que la barrette arrière se retrouve enfermée dans la gorge. La barrette ne peut alors plus se soulever vers le haut par rapport à l'organe de liaison 14. De préférence, la barrette arrière 32 est alors bloquée longitudinalement vers l'arrière non seulement par le fond de la gorge 38 du verrou, mais aussi par une surface de blocage 42 aménagée sur l'organe de liaison. Ainsi, le blocage longitudinal vers l'arrière se fait par une butée mécanique, indépendamment de la force du ressort 22. Dans cette position, la barrette avant 31 se trouve donc elle aussi bloquée au fond de la gorge 36 du crochet 34. De la sorte, les deux barrettes étant bloquées, la chaussure 11 est parfaitement accrochée sur l'organe de liaison 14. Pour décrocher la chaussure, on peut par exemple prévoir qu'une tirette (non représentée) soit liée au verrou 23 pour le solliciter vers l'arrière à l' encontre du ressort 22 ; permettant ainsi dans un premier temps le dégagement de la barrette arrière 32, verticalement vers le haut, et dans un second temps le dégagement de la barrette avant 31, longitudinalement vers l'arrière.At rest, as can be seen in FIG. 1, the spring 22 pushes the latch 23 bearing forwards against the abutment surface 25. This abutment surface is positioned so that, when the bar is engaged front of the shoe in the front hook 34, the rear bar 32 is just below the latch 23 (see Figure 3). In this way, when the rear bar is lowered vertically downwards, by pivoting around the front bar 31, the rear bar comes to bear against the inclined face 40 and causes the lock 23 to recede relative to the connecting member. 14, by compressing the spring 22, until the lock is completely removed. The rear bar is then opposite the groove 38 and the bolt can again advance under the return action of the spring 22 until the rear bar is locked in the groove. The bar can no longer be lifted upwards relative to the connecting member 14. Preferably, the rear bar 32 is then blocked longitudinally towards the rear not only by the bottom of the groove 38 of the bolt, but also by a blocking surface 42 arranged on the connecting member. Thus, the longitudinal rearward locking is done by a mechanical stop, independently of the force of the spring 22. In this position, the front bar 31 is therefore also blocked at the bottom of the groove 36 of the hook 34. From the so, the two bars being locked, the shoe 11 is perfectly hooked on the connecting member 14. To unhook the shoe, one can for example provide that a zipper (not shown) is linked to the lock 23 to urge it towards the 'rear against spring 22; thus allowing firstly the release of the rear bar 32, vertically upwards, and secondly the release of the front bar 31, longitudinally rearward.
Le système d'accrochage ainsi conçu est particulièrement simple et fait appel à un nombre limité de pièces spécifiques. De plus, avec cette conception, on voit que, lorsque le talon est décollé, c'est-à-dire lorsque l'organe de liaison 14 est basculé en position haute, la force exercée par le ressort sur le verrou 23 tend augmenter dans le sens d'une confirmation du verrouillage.The hanging system thus designed is particularly simple and uses a limited number of specific parts. In addition, with this design, it can be seen that, when the heel is detached, that is to say when the connecting member 14 is tilted in the high position, the force exerted by the spring on the latch 23 tends to increase in the meaning of a lock confirmation.
On a illustré sur les figures 6 à 8 un second mode de réalisation de l'invention qui reprend la plupart des éléments précédemment décrits, lesquels ne sont pas décrits à nouveau et reprennent les mêmes numéros de référence. Toutefois, dans cette seconde version, le verrou 123 n'est plus mobile en translation mais en rotation par rapport à l'organe de liaison 14, et le ressort de rappel 122 est un simple ressort de traction. Dans ce mode de réalisation, le levier 24 et la barre de guidage 26 ne sont pas prévus.A second embodiment of the invention has been illustrated in FIGS. 6 to 8 which incorporates most of the elements previously described, which are not described again and use the same reference numbers. However, in this second version, the latch 123 is no longer movable in translation but in rotation relative to the connecting member 14, and the return spring 122 is a simple tension spring. In this embodiment, the lever 24 and the guide bar 26 are not provided.
En effet, on peut voir que le verrou 123 peut pivoter sur l'organe de liaison 14 autour d'un axe transversal A3 entre une position ouverte illustrée à la figure 7 et une position fermée illustrée à la figure 8. Le ressort de traction 122 est accroché d'une part sur l'embase 12, par exemple au niveau de l'axe Al, et d'autre part sur le verrou 123 de manière à le faire pivoter en direction de sa position fermée. On remarque que, de la même manière que pour le premier mode de réalisation, l'organe de liaison 14 comporte une butée 125 contre laquelle le verrou vient en appui lorsque la chaussure n'est pas accrochée sur le dispositif de fixation. Le verrou est alors dans une position d'attente, prêt à coopérer avec la barrette arrière 31 de la chaussure.Indeed, it can be seen that the lock 123 can pivot on the connecting member 14 about a transverse axis A3 between an open position illustrated in FIG. 7 and a closed position illustrated in FIG. 8. The tension spring 122 is hung on the one hand on the base 12, for example at the axis Al, and on the other hand on the latch 123 so as to rotate it in the direction of its closed position. It is noted that, in the same way as for the first embodiment, the connecting member 14 includes a stop 125 against which the lock comes to bear when the shoe is not hung on the fastening device. The lock is then in a waiting position, ready to cooperate with the rear bar 31 of the shoe.
On retrouve, dans ce second mode de réalisation de l'invention, les mêmes avantages de simplicité du mécanisme d'accrochage, à savoir que l'on utilise une seule source d'énergie élastique pour assurer d'une part le rappel de l'organe de liaison vers sa position basse et d'autre part le rappel du verrou vers sa position de fermeture. L'invention pourra bien entendu aussi être mise en œuvre lorsque les moyens élastiques sont conçus de manière différente des deux exemples ci-dessus. En effet, ces moyens élastiques peuvent aussi être réalisés sous la forme d'un ressort à action angulaire agencé entre l'organe de liaison et la biellette, autour de l'axe A2. D'autres variantes de réalisation peuvent encore être conçues sans sortir du cadre de l'invention. Ainsi, les deux exemples de réalisations décrits ci-dessus font appel à un crochet avant 34 qui est fixe. Cependant, le système de retenue avant pourrait être conçu différemment, et il pourrait notamment comporter un verrou muni d'un système d'ouverture, lequel permettrait un décrochage de la chaussure par ouverture du système de retenue avant. We find, in this second embodiment of the invention, the same advantages of simplicity of the attachment mechanism, namely that one uses a single elastic energy source to ensure on the one hand the recall of the connecting member to its low position and on the other hand the return of the lock to its closed position. The invention may of course also be implemented when the elastic means are designed differently from the two examples above. Indeed, these elastic means can also be produced in the form of an angular action spring arranged between the connecting member and the link, around the axis A2. Other alternative embodiments can also be designed without departing from the scope of the invention. Thus, the two exemplary embodiments described above use a front hook 34 which is fixed. However, the front restraint system could be designed differently, and it could in particular include a lock provided with an opening system, which would allow the shoe to be released by opening the front restraint system.
