Description

L'invention se rapporte à un dispositif de retenue d'une chaussure sur une planche de glisse destinée à la pratique du surf sur la neige, et concerne plus particulièrement un dispositif à chaussage automatique.The invention relates to a device for retaining a shoe on a gliding board intended for the practice of snowboarding, and more specifically concerns a self-fitting device.

Lors de la pratique du surf sur neige, un utilisateur est souvent amené à chausser et à déchausser, par exemple pour utiliser divers moyens de remontées mécaniques ou pour retrouver son équilibre après une chute.When practicing snowboarding, a user is often required to put on and take off shoes, for example to use various means of ski lifts or to find its balance after a fall.

Le chaussage doit être compris comme étant l'opération consistant à solidariser une chaussure avec la planche, le déchaussage étant l'opération inverse.The footwear should be understood as the operation consisting in securing a shoe to the board, the heaving being the opposite operation.

Divers dispositifs ont été créés afin de faciliter les chaussages et les déchaussages.Various devices have been created to facilitate shoes and shoes.

Par exemple, le document WO 96/05894 divulgue un dispositif à chaussage automatique, c'est-à-dire un dispositif qui permet à l'utilisateur de solidariser la chaussure à la planche par la seule action du pied, le déchaussage se faisant quant à lui avec l'aide des mains.For example, document WO 96/05894 discloses a device for automatic footwear, i.e. a device which allows the user to secure the shoe to the board by the only foot action, heaving being done with using hands.

Le dispositif selon le document WO 96/05894 comprend une chaussure munie de deux inserts prévus pour coopérer avec une embase solidaire de la planche. Lors du chaussage, l'un des inserts situé sur un côté de la chaussure se loge dans une empreinte ouverte de l'embase, tandis que l'autre insert situé sur un autre côté de la chaussure se loge dans une empreinte de l'embase dont l'accès est contrôlé par un verrou.The device according to document WO 96/05894 comprises a shoe provided with two inserts intended to cooperate with a base secured to the board. When putting on one of the inserts located on one side of the shoe fits in a open footprint of the base, while the other insert located on another side of the shoe fits in an imprint of the base, access to which is controlled by a lock.

Lorsque l'utilisateur appuie avec le pied, les inserts s'immobilisent dans les empreintes. Au cours du chaussage, le verrou se déplace d'une position de déverrouillage vers une position de verrouillage. Une fois le chaussage effectué, le verrou est maintenu dans la position de verrouillage par exemple par l'action permanente d'un moyen élastique, par un mécanisme de charnière mobile, ou encore par un système à cliquet.When the user presses with the foot, the inserts come to rest in the footprints. During putting on, the latch moves from an unlocked position to a locking position. Once the boot is done, the lock is kept in the locked position for example by the permanent action of an elastic means, by a mechanism movable hinge, or by a ratchet system.

La chaussure est alors maintenue à une distance fixe de l'embase du côté de l'empreinte ouverte, et à une distance variable de l'embase du côté du verrou.The shoe is then kept at a fixed distance of the base on the side of the open impression, and at a distance variable of the base on the side of the lock.

Le dispositif selon le document WO 96/05894 présente un certain nombre d'inconvénients. The device according to document WO 96/05894 has a a number of drawbacks.

Tout d'abord, le contact entre la chaussure et l'embase est variable dans le temps par suite des variations d'épaisseur de la neige ou de la glace qui fond ou se désagrège pendant la pratique du surf. Par suite, la conduite de la planche par l'utilisateur est perturbée.First, the contact between the shoe and the base is variable over time due to variations in thickness of snow or ice that melts or breaks up during the surfing practice. As a result, driving the board by the user is disturbed.

D'autre part, l'utilisateur ne peut percevoir toutes les informations sensorielles avec les extrémités avant et arrière des pieds. En effet, à partir du moment où la neige ou la glace est fondue ou désagrégée, le contact entre la chaussure et l'embase se fait uniquement dans une zone centrale de la chaussure.On the other hand, the user cannot perceive all the sensory information with the front and rear ends feet. Indeed, from the moment when snow or ice is melted or disintegrated, the contact between the shoe and the base is made only in a central area of the shoe.

D'autre part encore, le dispositif ne permet pas un chaussage facile quand une épaisseur trop importante de neige ou de glace se trouve entre l'embase et la chaussure.On the other hand again, the device does not allow a boot easy when too thick snow or ice is located between the base and the shoe.

L'invention a pour but de remédier à ces inconvénients.The invention aims to remedy these drawbacks.

Pour ce faire, l'invention propose un dispositif de retenue d'une chaussure sur une planche de glisse destinée à la pratique du surf sur la neige, le dispositif comprenant au moins un moyen d'ancrage, et au moins un organe de retenue accueillant le moyen d'ancrage dans un logement de l'organe de retenue, un organe de verrouillage coopérant avec l'organe de retenue pour maintenir le moyen d'ancrage dans le logement, un moyen d'appui coopérant avec l'organe de retenue pour positionner l'organe de verrouillage par rapport au logement.To do this, the invention provides a retaining device a shoe on a sliding board intended for practice snowboarding, the device comprising at least one means anchor, and at least one retaining member accommodating the means anchoring in a housing of the retaining member, a interlock cooperating with the retaining member to maintain the anchoring means in the housing, a cooperating support means with the retaining member to position the retaining member locking in relation to the housing.

L'invention est caractérisée par le fait qu'une surface de l'organe de verrouillage coopère par contact avec une surface du moyen d'appui, les surfaces étant orientées de façon, d'une part, à se déplacer l'une par rapport à l'autre quand l'organe de verrouillage se déplace dans un sens de verrouillage, et d'autre part, à conserver une position fixe l'une par rapport à l'autre quand l'organe de verrouillage est sollicité dans un sens de déverrouillage.The invention is characterized in that a surface of the locking member cooperates by contact with a surface of the support means, the surfaces being oriented in a hand, to move relative to each other when the organ lock moves in a lock direction, and on the other hand, to keep a fixed position one with respect to the other when the locking member is stressed in a unlocking direction.

Cette structure permet de maintenir la chaussure sur la planche avec un contact constant dans le temps, indépendamment de variations d'épaisseur de la neige ou de la glace qui a pu se loger entre la chaussure et la planche. Il s'ensuit avantageusement que la conduite de la planche est stable dans le temps. This structure keeps the shoe on the board with constant contact over time, independently variations in thickness of snow or ice that may have fit between the shoe and the board. It follows advantageously that the driving of the board is stable in the time.

De plus, le contact entre la chaussure et la planche se fait sur une grande surface de la semelle de la chaussure, ce qui permet à l'utilisateur de percevoir toutes les informations sensorielles utiles à la conduite de la planche.In addition, the contact between the shoe and the board is made over a large area of the sole of the shoe, which allows the user to perceive all information useful for driving the board.

Le dispositif de retenue selon l'invention est également caractérisé par le fait qu'un moyen de positionnement solidaire de l'organe de verrouillage comprend un moyen de retenue et un moyen de commande, le moyen de retenue retenant le moyen d'ancrage dans le logement quand le moyen d'ancrage sollicite le moyen de retenue dans un sens de déverrouillage, le moyen de commande sollicitant l'organe de verrouillage vers une position de verrouillage quand le moyen d'ancrage se déplace dans le logement vers une position de verrouillage, le moyen de retenue et le moyen de commande étant situés à distance constante l'un de l'autre et de part et d'autre du moyen d'ancrage.The restraint device according to the invention is also characterized by the fact that an integral positioning means of the locking member comprises a retaining means and a control means, the retaining means retaining the means anchoring in the housing when the anchoring means biases the retaining means in an unlocking direction, the means of control urging the locking member towards a position locking when the anchoring means moves in the housing to a locked position, the retaining means and the control means being located at constant distance one on the other and on either side of the anchoring means.

Par conséquent, des efforts exercés par l'utilisateur vers la planche permettent à l'organe de verrouillage de se déplacer vers la planche, en particulier quand la neige ou la glace fond, sans pouvoir s en éloigner ensuite. De cette façon, la chaussure reste toujours bien en contact avec la planche, par l'intermédiaire éventuel d'une couche de neige et/ou de glace d'épaisseur variable.Consequently, efforts exerted by the user towards the board allow the locking member to move towards the board, especially when the snow or ice melts, without being able to move away from it. In this way, the shoe always stays in good contact with the board, for the possible intermediary of a layer of snow and / or ice of variable thickness.

Le dispositif est caractérisé encore par le fait que le moyen de commande limite le déplacement de l'organe de verrouillage dans le sens de verrouillage. Cette caractéristique doit être comprise comme signifiant que lorsque la neige a complètement fondu et que la semelle de la chaussure touche directement la planche, alors le moyen d'ancrage est maintenu en position dans un sens de verrouillage par le moyen de positionnement seul, sans toucher le fond du logement. Il s'ensuit avantageusement que le contrôle de la position du moyen d'ancrage est parfaite.The device is further characterized by the fact that the means control limit the movement of the locking member in the locking direction. This characteristic must be understood to mean that when the snow has completely melted and the sole of the shoe directly touches the board, then the anchoring means is held in position in a locking direction by the positioning means alone, without touching the bottom of the housing. It follows advantageously that the control of the position of the anchoring means is perfect.

Le dispositif est également caractérisé par le fait que le logement empêche une translation du moyen d'ancrage dans toute direction à l'exception de celle de verrouillage ou de déverrouillage, en même temps que le moyen de positionnement controle une translation du moyen d'ancrage uniquement dans la direction de verrouillage ou de déverrouillage.The device is also characterized in that the housing prevents translation of the anchoring means throughout direction except that of locking or unlocking, together with the positioning means controls a translation of the anchoring means only in the locking or unlocking direction.

Cette structure permet de dissocier les fonctions de guidage du moyen d'ancrage. Il s'ensuit avantageusement que l'utilisateur a une grande liberté de mouvement du pied au moment du chaussage, et que l'immobilisation en translation du moyen d'ancrage est totale dans toutes les directions après le chaussage.This structure makes it possible to dissociate the guidance functions anchoring means. It follows advantageously that the user has great freedom of movement from foot to when fitting, and that the immobilization in translation of the means of anchoring is total in all directions after the footwear.

Le dispositif de retenue selon l'invention est également caractérisé par le fait que l'organe de verrouillage est mobile en rotation selon un axe, et en ce que le moyen d'appui est mobile en rotation selon un axe différent de l'axe de rotation de l'organe de verrouillage.The restraint device according to the invention is also characterized by the fact that the locking member is movable in rotation along an axis, and in that the support means is movable in rotation along an axis different from the axis of rotation of the locking member.

La différence de localisation des axes permet de créer un effet de coincement entre l'organe de verrouillage et le moyen d'appui. Les deux axes et la zone de contact, obtenue par les surfaces de l'organe de verrouillage et du moyen d'appui, constituent trois sommets d'un triangle déformable d'une seule façon compte tenu de l'orientation des surfaces. Par conséquent, les fonctions du dispositif selon l'invention sont réalisées de manière très simple.The difference in location of the axes creates a jamming effect between the locking member and the means support. The two axes and the contact area, obtained by the surfaces of the locking member and of the support means, constitute three vertices of a deformable triangle of a single way given the orientation of the surfaces. Therefore, the functions of the device according to the invention are carried out by very simple way.

De plus, des éléments mobiles en rotation sont moins susceptibles de se bloquer à cause du gel, par rapport à des mécanismes où les pièces sont mobiles en translation.In addition, rotating mobile elements are less likely to freeze due to frost, compared to mechanisms where the parts are movable in translation.

Le dispositif est caractérisé encore par le fait que l'axe de rotation du moyen d'appui est situé sur l'organe de retenue sensiblement entre le logement et l'axe de rotation de l'organe de verrouillage.The device is further characterized by the fact that the axis of rotation of the support means is located on the retaining member substantially between the housing and the axis of rotation of the member lock.

De cette façon, la cinématique du dispositif est très simple.In this way, the kinematics of the device is very simple.

De plus, l'encombrement du dispositif est réduit dans le sens d'un éloignement par rapport à la planche, car le logement et les axes de rotation sont proches de la planche.In addition, the size of the device is reduced in the direction a distance from the board, because the housing and the axes of rotation are close to the board.

Selon une variante de réalisation, le dispositif est caractérisé par le fait que l'axe de rotation du moyen d'appui et l'axe de rotation de l'organe de verrouillage sont situés sur l'organe de retenue de façon à être chacun à proximité de la chaussure quand le dispositif retient celle-ci sur la planche, l'axe de rotation de l'organe de verrouillage étant plus près de la planche que l'axe de rotation du moyen d'appui.According to an alternative embodiment, the device is characterized by the fact that the axis of rotation of the support means and the axis of rotation of the locking member are located on the retaining member so as to be each close to the shoe when the device retains it on the board, the axis of rotation of the locking member being closer to the board as the axis of rotation of the support means.

Dans ce cas, la cinématique du dispositif'reste très simple, mais l'encombrement du dispositif est réduit dans un sens d'éloignement de la chaussure, car le logement et les axes de rotation sont proches de la chaussure. In this case, the kinematics of the device remain very simple, but the size of the device is reduced in one direction distance from the shoe, because the housing and the axes of rotation are close to the shoe.

Le dispositif est caractérisé encore par le fait qu'un moyen élastique sollicite en permanence l'un par rapport à l'autre l'organe de verrouillage et le moyen d'appui, dans un sens tel que la surface de l'organe de verrouillage est en contact avec la surface du moyen d'appui quand l'organe de verrouillage est dans une position de verrouillage.The device is further characterized by the fact that a means elastic constantly stresses one relative to the other the locking member and the support means, in such a direction that the surface of the locking member is in contact with the surface of the support means when the locking member is in a locked position.

De cette façon, le verrouillage du dispositif est garanti en absence de toute sollicitation manuelle de déverrouillage.In this way, the locking of the device is guaranteed by absence of any manual unlocking request.

Le dispositif est caractérisé encore par le fait qu'un moyen d'arrêt maintient dans une position fixe l'un par rapport à l'autre l'organe de verrouillage et le moyen d'appui quand l'organe de verrouillage est dans une position de déverrouillage.The device is further characterized by the fact that a means stop keeps in a fixed position one relative to the other the locking member and the support means when the locking member is in a position of unlocking.

Par conséquent, l'utilisateur peut chausser sans utiliser les mains.Therefore, the user can put on shoes without using the hands.

Enfin, le dispositif est caractérisé par le fait que le moyen d'ancrage de la chaussure est situé sur un côté de la chaussure.Finally, the device is characterized by the fact that the means shoe anchor is located on one side of the shoe.

Par conséquent, le chaussage est facile quelle que soit l'épaisseur de neige ou de glace, car le pied de l'utilisateur a une plus grande liberté de mouvement.Therefore, the shoe is easy whatever the thickness of snow or ice, because the user's foot has greater freedom of movement.

Un premier mode de réalisation de l'invention est représenté à l'aide des figures 1 à 8.A first embodiment of the invention is shown in using figures 1 to 8.

Les figures 1 à 4 sont des vues schématisées d'un dispositif de retenue 1 d'une chaussure 2 sur une planche de glisse 3. Sur ces figures, la chaussure 2 est symbolisée en traits mixtes et représentée selon une direction qui peut être soit une vue arrière soit une vue avant.Figures 1 to 4 are schematic views of a device retaining 1 of a shoe 2 on a gliding board 3. On these figures, shoe 2 is symbolized in phantom and represented in a direction which can be either a view rear or front view.

Le dispositif 1 comprend d'une part un moyen d'ancrage 4 solidaire de la chaussure 2, et d'autre part un organe de retenue 5 du moyen d'ancrage 4 solidaire de la planche 3.The device 1 comprises on the one hand an anchoring means 4 integral with shoe 2, and on the other hand a retainer 5 of the anchoring means 4 secured to the board 3.

De manière complémentaire mais non indispensable, il est prévu une embase 9 intercalée entre le dispositif 1 et la planche 3, l'embase 9 pouvant servir par exemple à éloigner le dispositif 1 de la planche 3, ou à régler la position de la chaussure 2 par rapport à la planche 3. L'embase 9 est solidarisée à la planche 3 par tout moyen connu tel qu'une liaison vis/écrou.In addition but not essential, it is planned a base 9 interposed between the device 1 and the board 3, the base 9 can be used for example to distance the device 1 board 3, or to adjust the position of shoe 2 by relative to the board 3. The base 9 is secured to the board 3 by any known means such as a screw / nut connection.

Le moyen d'ancrage 4, représenté sous la forme d'un fil métallique, est positionné latéralement par rapport à la chaussure 2, et à proximité de la semelle 6 de la chaussure 2. Le fil 4 est situé sensiblement à mi-chemin entre une extrémité arrière et une extrémité avant non représentées de la chaussure 2, et s'étend en partie dans une direction sensiblement parallèle à la semelle 6.The anchoring means 4, represented in the form of a wire metallic, is positioned laterally with respect to the shoe 2, and near the sole 6 of shoe 2. Wire 4 is located substantially halfway between one end rear and a front end not shown of the shoe 2, and partly extends in a direction substantially parallel to the sole 6.

Un moyen de solidarisation du fil 4 à la chaussure 2 est visible par exemple à la figure 5. Le fil 4 a une forme de crochet dont les extrémités sont reliées à une plaque 7 par tout moyen tel qu'une soudure. La plaque 7 est solidarisée à la semelle 6 de la chaussure 2 par exemple par des rivets, symbolisés par quatre traits d'axes 8. De préférence, la plaque 7 est fixée sous la chaussure 2 dans une encoche non représentée de la semelle 6, l'encoche étant située de manière traditionnelle entre l'extrémité arrière et l'extrémité avant de la chaussure 2.A means of securing the wire 4 to the shoe 2 is visible for example in Figure 5. The wire 4 has a shape of hook whose ends are connected to a plate 7 by all medium such as a weld. Plate 7 is secured to the sole 6 of shoe 2, for example by rivets, symbolized by four lines of axes 8. Preferably, the plate 7 is fixed under the shoe 2 in a not shown notch of the sole 6, the notch being located so traditional between the rear end and the front end of shoe 2.

Le fil 4 est à même de coopérer avec l'organe de retenue 5, comme il est montré par exemple en coupe latérale à la figure 6, sur laquelle le dispositif 1 se trouve dans une position de verrouillage. La semelle 6 est en contact avec l'embase 9, le fil 4 étant maintenu en position de verrouillage par rapport à la planche 3 par l'organe de retenue 5. Le fil 4 est logé dans une fente 10 de l'organe de retenue 5, et maintenu dans la fente 10 par un organe de verrouillage 11 représenté sous la forme d'un verrou articulé selon un axe 12 de l'organe de retenue 5. Le verrou 11 est immobilisé par un moyen d'appui 13 représenté sous la forme d'un levier articulé selon un axe 14 de l'organe de retenue 5.The wire 4 is able to cooperate with the retaining member 5, as shown for example in side section in FIG. 6, on which the device 1 is in a position of locking. The sole 6 is in contact with the base 9, the wire 4 being held in the locked position relative to the board 3 by the retaining member 5. The wire 4 is housed in a slot 10 of the retaining member 5, and held in the slot 10 by a locking member 11 shown in the form a lock articulated along an axis 12 of the retaining member 5. The lock 11 is immobilized by a support means 13 shown in the form of a lever articulated along an axis 14 of the organ retainer 5.

Le maintien en position du fil 4 se fait comme suit. L'axe d'articulation 14 du levier 13 est situé sensiblement entre le fil 4 et l'axe d'articulation 12 du verrou 11. Un moyen élastique 15, représenté sous la forme d'un ressort, sollicite en permanence l'un par rapport à l'autre le verrou 11 et le levier 13 de façon qu'ils tendent à tourner l'un par rapport à l'autre selon leurs axes respectifs 12, 14 dans des sens contraires. En effet, une extrémité du ressort 15 est solidarisée à une barre 16 du levier 13, tandis que l'autre extrémité du ressort 15 est solidarisée au verrou 11, par des moyens représentés successivement par un rivetage sur la barre 16 et un accrochage dans une encoche du verrou 11.The wire 4 is held in position as follows. The axis hinge 14 of lever 13 is located substantially between the wire 4 and the hinge pin 12 of the lock 11. A means elastic 15, represented in the form of a spring, biases permanently relative to each other the latch 11 and the lever 13 so that they tend to turn one relative to the other along their respective axes 12, 14 in directions contrary. Indeed, one end of the spring 15 is secured to a bar 16 of the lever 13, while the other end of the spring 15 is secured to the latch 11, by means successively represented by a riveting on the bar 16 and an attachment in a notch of the lock 11.

Le levier 13 et le verrou 11 sont en appui l'un sur l'autre par une surface 17 du levier 13 et une surface 18 du verrou 11.The lever 13 and the latch 11 are supported one on the other by a surface 17 of the lever 13 and a surface 18 of the latch 11.

D'autre part, le verrou 11 coopère avec le fil 4 par un moyen de positionnement ou fourche 19 comprenant un moyen ou bras de retenue 20 et un moyen ou bras de commande 21. Lorsqu'un effort exercé sur le fil 4 par la chaussure 2 sollicite le verrou 11 par l'intermédiaire du bras de retenue 20 dans un sens de sortie du fil 4 de la fente 10, le verrou 11 reste immobile parce que les surfaces 17 du levier 13 et 18 du verrou 11 sont orientées de façon à empêcher tout mouvement du verrou 11 dans un tel cas.On the other hand, the latch 11 cooperates with the wire 4 by a means positioning or fork 19 comprising a means or arm of retainer 20 and a control means or arm 21. When an effort exerted on the wire 4 by the shoe 2 requests the bolt 11 via the retaining arm 20 in an exit direction of wire 4 of slot 10, lock 11 remains stationary because surfaces 17 of lever 13 and 18 of latch 11 are oriented so as to prevent any movement of the latch 11 in such a case.

Cela revient à dire qu'un utilisateur ne peut pas déchausser par suite des efforts induits par la pratique du surf.This is like saying that a user cannot take off his shoes as a result of the efforts induced by the practice of surfing.

Les différents éléments constitutifs de l'organe de retenue 5 sont positionnés les uns par rapport aux autres comme on peut l'expliquer à l'aide des figures 5, 6, 7 et 8.The various constituent elements of the retaining member 5 are positioned relative to each other as we can explain it using figures 5, 6, 7 and 8.

La figure 5 est une coupe passant sensiblement par les axes 12 et 14 du verrou 11 et du levier 13, ainsi que par le fil 4. L'organe de retenue 5 comprend deux profils symétriques 23, 24 solidarisés à l'embase par des moyens de solidarisation représentés sous la forme de vis 25. Les profils 23, 24, réalisés par exemple en tôle emboutie et pliée, définissent des butées 26, 27 pour le contrôle de la position de la chaussure 2 dans le sens de sa longueur.Figure 5 is a section passing substantially through the axes 12 and 14 of the latch 11 and of the lever 13, as well as by the wire 4. The retaining member 5 comprises two symmetrical profiles 23, 24 secured to the base by means of attachment represented in the form of screws 25. Profiles 23, 24, made for example from stamped and folded sheet metal, define stops 26, 27 for controlling the position of shoe 2 along its length.

Des moyens d'articulation, représentés sous la forme de rivets 28 pour l'axe 14 et 29 pour l'axe 12, permettent respectivement au levier 13 et au verrou 11 de pivoter dans un plan sensiblement perpendiculaire à la planche 3, ce plan se situant entre les profils 23 et 24 de l'organe de retenue 5.Articulation means, represented in the form of rivets 28 for axis 14 and 29 for axis 12, allow respectively lever 13 and latch 11 to pivot in a plane substantially perpendicular to plate 3, this plane being located between the profiles 23 and 24 of the retaining member 5.

Comme on le comprend mieux à l'aide de la figure 8, le verrou 11 peut pivoter autour de son axe 12 à travers une fente 30 du levier 13.As can be better understood using FIG. 8, the lock 11 can pivot about its axis 12 through a slot 30 in the lever 13.

Comme il est apparent sur les figures 1, 2, 3, 4 et 6, la chaussure 2 est retenue sur la planche 3 par un seul fil 4 situé en position latérale sur la chaussure 2.As is apparent in Figures 1, 2, 3, 4 and 6, the shoe 2 is retained on board 3 by a single wire 4 located in the lateral position on the shoe 2.

De préférence, un moyen d'appui 31, visible sur les figures 1, 2, 3, 4, 6 et 7, permet une gestion de la position de la chaussure 2 par rapport à la planche 3 dans un sens de rotation par rapport au fil 4. Ce moyen d'appui 31, bien visible par exemple à la figure 7, est une plaque d'appui comprenant deux extensions 32, 33 solidarisées sur les profils 23, 24 par exemple au moyen de rivets 34, 35.Preferably, a support means 31, visible in FIGS. 1, 2, 3, 4, 6 and 7, allows management of the position of the shoe 2 relative to board 3 in a direction of rotation relative to the wire 4. This support means 31, clearly visible by example in Figure 7, is a support plate comprising two extensions 32, 33 secured to the profiles 23, 24 by example by means of rivets 34, 35.

La plaque d'appui 31 peut être faite d'un matériau relativement rigide pour empêcher ou limiter fortement une rotation de la chaussure 2 autour du fil 4 par rapport à la planche 3. Dans ce cas, un métal ou un matériau plastique rigide convient. The support plate 31 can be made of a material relatively rigid to prevent or severely limit a rotation of the shoe 2 around the wire 4 relative to the plate 3. In this case, a metal or rigid plastic material agrees.

La plaque d'appui 31 peut également être faite d'un matériau relativement souple pour tolérer une rotation de la chaussure 2 autour du fil 4 par rapport à la planche 3. Dans ce cas, un caoutchouc ou une matière plastique souple convient.The support plate 31 can also be made of a material relatively flexible to tolerate rotation of the shoe 2 around wire 4 in relation to plate 3. In this case, a rubber or flexible plastic is suitable.

Le fonctionnement du dispositif 1 est le suivant. L'utilisateur peut mettre l'organe de retenue 5 dans la position d'ouverture montrée à la figure 1 en sollicitant manuellement le levier 13. Il lui suffit d'appuyer sur la barre 16 de façon à faire pivoter le levier 13 autour de l'axe 14 dans un sens de rapprochement de la barre 16 vers la planche 3. Cette opération se fait contre l'action du ressort 15. Lorsque le levier 13 pivote et que le fil 4 ne retient pas le verrou 11 dans la position de verrouillage de la figure 6 par action sur le bras de commande 21, alors le verrou 11 pivote dans le même sens que le levier 13 jusqu'à la position d'ouverture.The operation of the device 1 is as follows. The user can put the retaining member 5 in the position shown in Figure 1 by manually urging the lever 13. It suffices to press bar 16 so as to rotate the lever 13 around the axis 14 in a direction of approximation of the bar 16 towards the board 3. This operation is against the action of the spring 15. When the lever 13 pivots and the wire 4 does not retain the latch 11 in the Figure 6 locking position by action on the arm 21, then the latch 11 pivots in the same direction as lever 13 to the open position.

La position d'ouverture est stable parce que le levier 13 coopère avec un moyen d'arrêt 36, représenté sous la forme d'une encoche délimitant en partie la surface 18 du verrou 11.The open position is stable because the lever 13 cooperates with a stop means 36, shown in the form of a notch partially defining the surface 18 of the latch 11.

En position d'ouverture, le ressort 15 est sensiblement dans un état de tension maximale, la barre 16 du levier 13 est maintenue au contact de l'encoche 36, et la fourche 19 est dans une position d'ouverture, c'est-à-dire la position la plus éloignée de la planche 3.In the open position, the spring 15 is substantially in a state of maximum tension, the bar 16 of the lever 13 is held in contact with the notch 36, and the fork 19 is in an open position, i.e. the most open position away from the board 3.

L'utilisateur peut donc approcher la chaussure 2 pour chausser.The user can therefore approach shoe 2 to put on.

L'opération de chaussage consiste à positionner la chaussure 2 par rapport à l'organe de retenue 5 de façon que le fil 4 entre dans la fourche 19 au-dessus de la fente 10, puis à appuyer vers la planche 3 avec le pied, une action manuelle n'étant pas nécessaire. L'appui du pied provoque l'entrée dans la fente 10 du fil 4, qui à son tour provoque une rotation du verrou 11 par action sur le bras de commande 21 du verrou 11. La rotation du verrou 11 entraíne la rotation du levier 13 grâce à la tension du ressort 15.The fitting operation consists in positioning the shoe 2 relative to the retaining member 5 so that the wire 4 enters in the fork 19 above the slot 10, then press towards board 3 with the foot, manual action not being necessary. Pressing the foot causes entry into the slot 10 wire 4, which in turn causes the latch 11 to rotate by action on the control arm 21 of the latch 11. The rotation of the latch 11 causes the lever 13 to rotate thanks to the tension spring 15.

Lorsque le fil 4 est suffisamment descendu dans la fente 10, la barre 16 du levier 13 sort de l'encoche 36 du verrou 11 et la surface 17 du levier 13 entre en contact avec la surface 18 du verrou 11. A cet instant, le dispositif 1 est dans une position de verrouillage. When the wire 4 has gone down enough into the slot 10, the bar 16 of the lever 13 comes out of the notch 36 of the latch 11 and the surface 17 of lever 13 comes into contact with surface 18 of latch 11. At this instant, the device 1 is in a position lock.

Les formes des surfaces 17 et 18 permettent un ajustement progressif de la position du fil 4 dans la fente 10. Le dispositif 1 permet de s'affranchir des contraintes liées à la présence de cales de neige et/ou de glace.The shapes of surfaces 17 and 18 allow adjustment progressive position of the wire 4 in the slot 10. The device 1 overcomes constraints related to the presence of snow and / or ice wedges.

La figure 2 est un exemple de position de verrouillage du dispositif 1 dans le cas d'une cale de neige 37 épaisse. Le dispositif 1 est verrouillé car le verrou 11 et le levier 13 sont en contact par leurs surfaces respectivement 18 et 17. La fourche 19 du verrou 11 est dans une position de verrouillage haute. Le fil 4, et par suite la chaussure 2, sont retenus sur la planche 3.Figure 2 is an example of the locking position of the device 1 in the case of a thick snow hold 37. The device 1 is locked because the lock 11 and the lever 13 are in contact by their surfaces respectively 18 and 17. The fork 19 of lock 11 is in a locked position high. The wire 4, and consequently the shoe 2, are retained on Plate 3.

La figure 3 correspond à une position de verrouillage du dispositif 1 dans le cas d'une cale de neige 38 fine. La semelle 6 est plus près de la planche 3 et la barre 16 du levier 13 est plus éloignée de la planche 3 que dans le cas de la figure 2.Figure 3 corresponds to a locking position of the device 1 in the case of a fine snow hold 38. The sole 6 is closer to the board 3 and the bar 16 of the lever 13 is further from the board 3 than in the case of FIG. 2.

Enfin la figure 4 correspond à une position de verrouillage du dispositif 1 dans le cas où toute la neige a fondu. La semelle 6 prend appui directement sur l'embase 9, la barre 16 du levier 13 est dans sa position la plus éloignée de la planche 3, et la fourche 19 est dans sa position de verrouillage la plus proche de la planche 3.Finally Figure 4 corresponds to a locking position of the device 1 if all the snow has melted. The sole 6 bears directly on the base 9, the bar 16 of the lever 13 is in its position furthest from plate 3, and the fork 19 is in its closest locked position from plate 3.

Les figures 1 à 4 ont permis de comprendre le fonctionnement du dispositif 1. La chaussure 2 peut se déplacer vers la planche 3 au fur et à mesure que la cale de neige fond ou se désagrège, mais ne peut pas remonter, sauf si l'utilisateur provoque manuellement un déverrouillage.Figures 1 to 4 helped understand how it works of device 1. Shoe 2 can move towards the board 3 as the wedge of snow melts or disintegrates, but cannot go back up unless the user causes manually unlocking.

Par conséquent, l'utilisateur garde avantageusement un appui permanent et homogène de la semelle 6 sur la planche 3, indépendamment des variations d'épaisseur de la partie intermédiaire constituée par la cale de neige ou de glace 37, 38.Consequently, the user advantageously retains a support permanent and homogeneous of the sole 6 on the board 3, regardless of variations in part thickness intermediate formed by the snow or ice wedge 37, 38.

Un second mode de réalisation de l'invention est représenté à l'aide des figures 9 et 10. Pour des raisons de commodité, les mêmes pièces sont désignées par les mêmes références.A second embodiment of the invention is shown in using Figures 9 and 10. For convenience, the same parts are designated by the same references.

Un dispositif de retenue 50 de la chaussure 2 sur la planche 3 comprend d'une part le fil 4 et d'autre part un organe de retenue 51. Comme pour le premier mode, l'embase 9 peut être intercalée entre le dispositif 50 et la planche 3. A shoe 50 retainer 2 on board 3 comprises on the one hand the wire 4 and on the other hand a retainer 51. As for the first mode, the base 9 can be interposed between the device 50 and the board 3.

L'organe de retenue 51 comprend un verrou 52 supporté par un arbre 53 d'axe 54. L'arbre 53 est guidé en translation par un alésage 55 d'un châssis 56 de l'organe de retenue 51. L'orientation de l'axe 54 permet à l'arbre 53 et au verrou 52 de se déplacer dans une direction sensiblement perpendiculaire à la planche 3, en coopérant d'une part avec un ressort 57 et d'autre part avec un moyen d'appui 58 représenté sous la forme d'une cale.The retaining member 51 comprises a latch 52 supported by a shaft 53 with axis 54. The shaft 53 is guided in translation by a bore 55 of a chassis 56 of the retaining member 51. The orientation of the axis 54 allows the shaft 53 and the latch 52 to move in a direction substantially perpendicular to the plate 3, cooperating on the one hand with a spring 57 and on the other share with a support means 58 shown in the form of a hold.

Le ressort 57 sollicite en permanence l'arbre 53 dans un sens d'éloignement de la planche 3 en prenant appui sur un épaulement 59 de l'arbre 53 et sur un fond 60 de l'alésage 55.The spring 57 permanently biases the shaft 53 in one direction distance from board 3 by resting on a shoulder 59 of the shaft 53 and on a bottom 60 of the bore 55.

La cale 58 est mobile en translation dans un alésage 61 d'axe 62 du châssis 56, dans une direction sensiblement perpendiculaire à l'axe 54 de l'arbre 53. Un ressort 63 sollicite en permanence la cale 58 dans un sens de rapprochement du verrou 52 en prenant appui sur la cale 58 et sur un fond 64 de l'alésage 61.The wedge 58 is movable in translation in a bore 61 of axis 62 of chassis 56, in a direction substantially perpendicular to the axis 54 of the shaft 53. A spring 63 permanently requests wedge 58 in a direction of approach of the latch 52 by bearing on the wedge 58 and on a bottom 64 of bore 61.

Le verrou 52 et la cale 58 ont des profils complémentaires. Le verrou 52 comprend une face sensiblement rectiligne 65 inclinée par rapport à l'axe 54 de l'arbre 53, la face 65 étant délimitée par une encoche 66 à une extrémité du verrou 52 opposée à l'extrémité comprenant la fourche 19 d'accueil du fil 4. La cale 58 comprend une face inférieure inclinée 67 sensiblement parallèle à la face 65 du verrou 52, la face 67 coupant une extrémité 68 de la cale 58.The lock 52 and the wedge 58 have complementary profiles. The latch 52 includes a substantially straight inclined face 65 relative to the axis 54 of the shaft 53, the face 65 being delimited by a notch 66 at one end of the latch 52 opposite to the end comprising the fork 19 for receiving the wire 4. The wedge 58 includes an inclined lower face 67 substantially parallel to the face 65 of the latch 52, the face 67 intersecting a end 68 of the wedge 58.

Le fonctionnement du dispositif 50 est le suivant.The operation of the device 50 is as follows.

Tout d'abord, l'utilisateur peut mettre l'organe de retenue 51 dans la position d'ouverture montrée à la figure 9.First, the user can put the retainer 51 in the open position shown in Figure 9.

Pour cela, il lui suffit de comprimer le ressort 63 en tirant sur un bouton 69 qui éloigne la cale 58 de la fente 10 de l'organe de retenue 51 par l'intermédiaire d'une barre 70. En l'absence de retenue du verrou 52 par action du fil 4 dans la fourche 19, le verrou 52 s'éloigne de la planche 3 jusqu'à ce que l'extrémité 68 de la cale 58 se loge dans l'encoche 36 du verrou 52. A cet instant, l'organe de retenue 51 est dans une position d'ouverture stable.For this, it suffices to compress the spring 63 by pulling on a button 69 which moves the shim 58 away from the slot 10 the retaining member 51 by means of a bar 70. In the absence of retention of the latch 52 by action of the wire 4 in the fork 19, the lock 52 moves away from the board 3 until that the end 68 of the wedge 58 is housed in the notch 36 of the latch 52. At this instant, the retaining member 51 is in a stable opening position.

Pour chausser, l'utilisateur peut alors amener la chaussure 2 près du dispositif 50 de façon que le fil 4 entre dans la fourche 19 du verrou 52 au-dessus de la fente 10. To put the shoe on, the user can then bring the shoe 2 near the device 50 so that the wire 4 enters the fork 19 of latch 52 above slot 10.

Une position de chaussage est représentée à la figure 10 dans un cas où la cale de neige a complètement fondue. L'utilisateur a poussé avec le pied vers la planche 3. Le verrou 52 est dans une position basse et la cale 58 s'est approchée du fil 4 sous l'action du ressort 63. Par suite, le verrou 52 et la cale 58 sont en contact par leurs faces inclinées respectives 65 et 67, car en se déplaçant, le verrou 52 a permis à l'extrémité 68 de la cale 58 de sortir de l'encoche 66 du verrou 52.A fitting position is shown in Figure 10 in a case where the snow hold has completely melted. The user pushed with your foot towards board 3. Lock 52 is in a low position and the wedge 58 approached the wire 4 under the action of the spring 63. As a result, the latch 52 and the shim 58 are in contact by their respective inclined faces 65 and 67, because by moving, the latch 52 allowed the end 68 to the wedge 58 out of the notch 66 of the latch 52.

La chaussure 2 est retenue car le fil 4 est retenu dans la fente 10 par la fourche 19 du verrou 52, en raison de l'inclinaison des faces 65 et 67 et du coefficient de frottement d'une face sur l'autre.Shoe 2 is retained because wire 4 is retained in the slot 10 by the fork 19 of the lock 52, due to the inclination of the faces 65 and 67 and the coefficient of friction from one side to the other.

Les faces 65 et 67 du verrou 52 et de la cale 58 forment un système irréversible. La cale 58 peut glisser progressivement vers le fil 4 sous l'action du ressort 63 quand le verrou 52 s'approche de la planche 3, mais le phénomène inverse ne peut se produire.The faces 65 and 67 of the latch 52 and of the shim 58 form a irreversible system. Wedge 58 can slide gradually towards the wire 4 under the action of the spring 63 when the latch 52 approaches board 3, but the opposite phenomenon cannot be produce.

Par conséquent, le dispositif de réalisation de l'invention selon le second mode remplit les mômes fonctions que pour le premier mode.Consequently, the device for carrying out the invention according to the second mode fulfills the same functions as for the first mode.

Un troisième mode de réalisation de l'invention est schématisé à l'aide des figures 11 et 12. Pour des raisons de commodité, les mêmes pièces sont désignées par les mêmes références.A third embodiment of the invention is shown schematically using Figures 11 and 12. For convenience, the same parts are designated by the same references.

Un dispositif de retenue 80 comprend un verrou 81 articulé selon un axe 82, et un moyen d'appui 83 articulé selon un axe 84 sur un organe de retenue 85. Le verrou 81 comprend une fourche 19 prévue pour coopérer avec le fil 4 de la chaussure 2, ainsi qu'une surface 86 prévue pour coopérer avec une surface 87 du moyen d'appui 83. Un ressort 88 sollicite en permanence l'un vers l'autre le verrou 81 et le moyen d'appui 83, une extrémité du ressort 88 étant solidarisée au verrou 81, tandis que l'autre extrémité est solidarisée au moyen d'appui 83.A retaining device 80 comprises a hinged lock 81 along an axis 82, and a support means 83 articulated along an axis 84 on a retaining member 85. The lock 81 comprises a fork 19 provided to cooperate with the wire 4 of the shoe 2, as well that a surface 86 provided to cooperate with a surface 87 of the support means 83. A spring 88 permanently stresses one towards the other the latch 81 and the support means 83, one end of the spring 88 being secured to the latch 81, while the other end is secured by means of support 83.

La figure 11 symbolise le dispositif 80 dans une position d'ouverture. Une extrémité 89 de la surface 87 du moyen d'appui 83 est en appui dans une encoche 90 du verrou 81.Figure 11 symbolizes the device 80 in a position opening hours. One end 89 of the surface 87 of the support means 83 is supported in a notch 90 of the lock 81.

Le ressort 88 est en extension forte. L'utilisateur peut chausser d'une manière analogue à ce qui a été décrit avant, pour amener le dispositif 80 dans une position de verrouillage montrée à la figure 12. The spring 88 is in strong extension. User can fit in a manner analogous to what has been described before, to bring the device 80 into a locked position shown in Figure 12.

Le fil 4 est retenu dans une fente 91 de l'organe de retenue 85, l'extrémité 89 de la surface 87 du moyen d'appui 83 est sortie de l'encoche 90 du verrou 81, et les surfaces 86 du verrou 81 et 87 du moyen d'appui 83 sont en contact.The wire 4 is retained in a slot 91 of the retaining member 85, the end 89 of the surface 87 of the support means 83 is outlet of the notch 90 of the lock 81, and the surfaces 86 of the latch 81 and 87 of the support means 83 are in contact.

Le dispositif de réalisation de l'invention selon le troisième mode remplit les mêmes fonctions que les modes précédents.The device for carrying out the invention according to the third mode performs the same functions as the previous modes.

Bien entendu, l'invention n'est pas limitée aux modes de réalisation ainsi décrits, et comprend tous les équivalents techniques pouvant entrer dans l'étendue des revendications qui vont suivre.Of course, the invention is not limited to the modes of realization thus described, and includes all the equivalents techniques which may fall within the scope of the claims which will follow.

Les premier et troisième modes de réalisation ont combiné des mouvements de rotation du verrou 11, 81 et du levier 13, 83. Le second mode de réalisation a combiné des mouvements de translation du verrou 52 et de la cale 58.The first and third embodiments combined rotational movements of the latch 11, 81 and of the lever 13, 83. The second embodiment combined movements of translation of the lock 52 and of the shim 58.

On peut prévoir d'autres dispositifs combinant des mouvements de rotation ou de translation des pièces utiles à l'immobilisation du fil 4 dans la fente 10.Other devices combining movements can be provided of rotation or translation of the parts useful for immobilization of the wire 4 in the slot 10.

D'autre part, les différentes pièces pourraient être conformées différemment. Par exemple, le moyen d'ancrage 4 pourrait avoir une forme non circulaire, les axes du verrou 11 et du levier 13 pourraient être disposés ailleurs sur l'organe de retenue 5, le moyen élastique pourrait avoir une autre structure.On the other hand, the different pieces could be shaped differently. For example, the anchoring means 4 could have a non-circular shape, the axes of the lock 11 and lever 13 could be arranged elsewhere on the member retainer 5, the elastic means could have another structure.

D'autre part encore, on pourrait prévoir plusieurs moyens d'ancrage 4 d'un même côté de la chaussure 2 associés respectivement à plusieurs organes de retenue 5, 51.On the other hand, there could be several means anchor 4 on the same side of the shoe 2 associated respectively to several retaining members 5, 51.

On peut aussi envisager différentes qualités des surfaces de contact entre le verrou 11, 52, 81 et le moyen d'appui 13, 58, 83.We can also consider different qualities of the surfaces of contact between the latch 11, 52, 81 and the support means 13, 58, 83.

Sur les exemples illustrés par les figures 1 à 12, les surfaces de contact sont sensiblement lisses et continues.In the examples illustrated in Figures 1 to 12, the contact surfaces are substantially smooth and continuous.

La figure 13 montre qu'on pourrait prévoir des surfaces de contact brisées. Par exemple pour le premier mode de réalisation, une crémaillère 100 sur le verrou 11 coopère avec une dent 101 du levier 13.Figure 13 shows that we could provide surfaces of broken contact. For example for the first mode of embodiment, a rack 100 on the latch 11 cooperates with a tooth 101 of the lever 13.
