Description

L'invention se rapporte au domaine des dispositifs de retenue d'une chaussure sur une planche de glisse, et concerne particulièrement des dispositifs utilisés dans la pratique du surf sur neige, ou snowboard.The invention relates to the field of devices for retaining a shoe on a board, and particularly relates to devices used in the practice of surfing on snow, or snowboard.

Le snowboard se pratique généralement avec une planche et des chaussures retenues sur la planche par des dispositifs de retenue.Snowboarding is usually done with a board and shoes on the board by restraints.

Certains dispositifs comprennent une embase, prévue pour être solidarisée à la planche, et des moyens de retenue de la chaussure sur l'embase.Some devices comprise a base, intended to be secured to the board, and means for retaining the boot on the base.

Des coussins, logés dans des cavités de l'embase de façon à contacter la semelle de la chaussure, permettent d'amortir des chocs liés à la conduite de la planche. Les structures des coussins et des cavités sont telles que chaque coussin est retenu dans une cavité par la planche quand l'embase est solidarisée à la planche. Lorsque l'embase est désolidarisée de la planche, chaque coussin peut être enlevé de sa cavité d'accueil.Cushions, housed in cavities of the base so as to contact the sole of the shoe, allow to dampen shocks related to driving the board. The structures of cushions and cavities are such that each cushion is held in a cavity by the board when the base is secured to the board. When the base is disengaged from the board, each cushion can be removed from its home cavity.

C'est par exemple le cas pour le dispositif selon le document WO 97/04843, dans lequel quatre petits coussins épaulés présentent chacun une face de contact avec la semelle d'une chaussure. La présence de la planche garantit la retenue des coussins dans les cavités. Son absence permet le retrait des coussins.This is for example the case for the device according to WO 97/04843, in which four small shoulder cushions each have a contact face with the sole of a shoe. The presence of the board guarantees the retention of the cushions in the cavities. His absence allows the removal of the cushions.

L'amovibilité des coussins rend leur remplacement facile en cas d'usure, mais gêne les opérations de montage, de réglage, ou d'entretien des dispositifs.Removable cushions make them easy to replace when worn, but assembly, adjustment, or maintenance of the devices.

Ce problème est particulièrement perceptible par les gens dont le métier est de louer des planches de glisse à des utilisateurs, car ces gens doivent fréquemment manipuler les dispositifs de retenue pour les régler et pour les entretenir.This problem is particularly perceptible to people whose job is to rent surfboards to users because these people must frequently manipulate retainers for adjusting and maintaining them.

Pour remédier à ce problème, les coussins sont collés dans les cavités. Il devient alors difficile et fastidieux de les changer quand ils sont usés.To remedy this problem, the cushions are glued in the cavities. It then becomes difficult and tedious to change them when they are worn.

L'invention a pour objet un dispositif de retenue sur lequel au moins un coussin peut être retenu de manière amovible sans qu'il soit difficile ou fastidieux de le changer.The subject of the invention is a retaining device on which at least one cushion can be removably retained without it being difficult or tedious to change it.

Pour cela, l'invention propose un dispositif de retenue d'une chaussure sur une planche de glisse, le dispositif comprenant une embase qui présente une face supérieure prévue pour accueillir la semelle de la chaussure et une face inférieure prévue pour prendre appui sur la planche, au moins une cavité étant ménagée dans l'épaisseur de l'embase entre la face supérieure et la face inférieure pour loger un coussin, le coussin faisant saillie en partie au moins par rapport à la face supérieure quand il est logé dans la cavité, un moyen permettant un accrochage amovible du coussin dans la cavité, le moyen permettant de manipuler le dispositif sans perdre le coussin.For this, the invention proposes a device for retaining a shoe on a board of slides, the device comprising a base which has an upper face provided for receive the sole of the shoe and a lower face provided to take support on the board, at least one cavity being formed in the thickness of the base between the face upper and lower face to accommodate a cushion, the cushion projecting in part from less compared to the upper face when it is housed in the cavity, a means allowing a detachable attachment of the cushion in the cavity, the means for manipulating the device without losing the cushion.

Le dispositif selon l'invention est caractérisé par le fait que le moyen comprend une forme en saillie par rapport à un bord périphérique de la cavité.The device according to the invention is characterized in that the means comprises a shape projecting from a peripheral edge of the cavity.

Cette disposition rend le changement du coussin facile et rapide à effectuer. De plus, il est également facile de monter, de régler, ou d'entretenir le dispositif.This arrangement makes the change of the cushion easy and quick to perform. In addition, it is also easy to mount, adjust, or maintain the device.

D'autres caractéristiques et avantages de l'invention seront mieux compris à l'aide de la description qui va suivre, en regard du dessin annexé illustrant, par un exemple non limitatif, comment l'invention peut être réalisée et dans lequel :

  • la figure 1 est une vue en perspective d'un dispositif selon l'invention,
  • la figure 2 est une vue en perspective éclatée d'une partie du dispositif,
  • la figure 3 est une coupe selon III-III de la figure 1,
  • la figure 4 est une coupe selon IV-IV de la figure 1,
  • la figure 5 est une vue en perspective éclatée d'un dispositif selon une variante de réalisation de l'invention.
Other features and advantages of the invention will be better understood from the following description, with reference to the accompanying drawing illustrating, by a non-limiting example, how the invention may be implemented and in which:
  • FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a device according to the invention,
  • FIG. 2 is an exploded perspective view of a part of the device,
  • FIG. 3 is a section along III-III of FIG. 1,
  • FIG. 4 is a section along IV-IV of FIG. 1,
  • Figure 5 is an exploded perspective view of a device according to an alternative embodiment of the invention.

Un exemple de réalisation de l'invention est décrit à l'aide des figures 1 à 4.An exemplary embodiment of the invention is described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 4.

Un dispositif de retenue 1, visible sur la figure 1, permet de retenir une chaussure 2 sur une planche 3.A retaining device 1, visible in FIG. 1, makes it possible to retain a boot 2 on a board 3.

Le dispositif 1 comprend une embase 4 retenue sur la planche 3 par un moyen de retenue, bien connu de l'homme du métier, représenté sous la forme d'un disque 5 et de vis 6, 7, 8, 9. La planche 3 est représentée en partie seulement pour des raisons de commodité.The device 1 comprises a base 4 retained on the board 3 by means of retained, well known to those skilled in the art, represented in the form of a disc 5 and screws 6, 7, 8, 9. Plate 3 is shown in part only for convenience.

Un moyen de retenue 10 est solidarisé à l'embase 4 pour retenir la chaussure 2 sur l'embase 4.A retaining means 10 is secured to the base 4 to hold the shoe 2 on the base 4.

Le moyen de retenue 10 est représenté sous la forme d'une structure qui permet une solidarisation amovible d'un moyen d'ancrage 11, lui-même solidarisé à la chaussure 2 par tout moyen convenable.The retaining means 10 is shown in the form of a structure which allows a removable attachment of an anchoring means 11, itself secured to the shoe 2 by any suitable means.

Il s'ensuit que la chaussure 2, représentée en pointillé pour une meilleure compréhension, peut être retenue de façon amovible sur l'embase 4.It follows that the shoe 2, shown in dotted line for better understanding, can be removably retained on the base 4.

Le moyen de retenue 10 et la chaussure 2 associée au moyen d'ancrage 11 sont connus par le document FR 96 13158 et ne seront pas décrits plus en détail ici.The retaining means 10 and the shoe 2 associated with the anchoring means 11 are known by the document FR 96 13158 and will not be described in more detail here.

Le dispositif 1 présente des coussins avant 12 et arrière 13 prévus pour contacter la semelle 14 de la chaussure 2 quand cette dernière est retenue sur l'embase 4.The device 1 has front and rear cushions 12 and 13 intended to contact the sole 14 of the shoe 2 when the latter is retained on the base 4.

Les coussins 12, 13 sont retenus sur l'embase 4 de façon amovible comme on le comprend mieux à l'aide des figures 2, 3 et 4.The cushions 12, 13 are retained on the base 4 removably as it is better understand using Figures 2, 3 and 4.

La vue partielle en perspective de la figure 2 montre que le coussin 12 peut être introduit dans une cavité 15 de l'embase 4, pour être retenu dans la cavité 15.The partial perspective view of FIG. 2 shows that the cushion 12 can be introduced into a cavity 15 of the base 4, to be retained in the cavity 15.

Comme on le comprend mieux à l'aide de la figure 3, le coussin 12 a la forme d'une plaque qui présente une face supérieure 16 prévue pour contacter l'embase 4, et une face inférieure 17 prévue pour contacter la planche 3.As can be better understood from FIG. 3, the cushion 12 has the shape of a plate which has an upper face 16 provided to contact the base 4, and a face lower 17 provided to contact the board 3.

Un bossage 18 forme saillie sur la face supérieure 16 de la plaque, le bossage 18 présentant une face de contact 19 prévue pour contacter la chaussure 2, et un bord périphérique 20 reliant la face de contact 19 à la face supérieure 16.A boss 18 protrudes on the upper face 16 of the plate, the boss 18 having a contact face 19 provided to contact the shoe 2, and an edge device 20 connecting the contact face 19 to the upper face 16.

La cavité 15 traverse l'épaisseur t de l'embase 4, la cavité 15 présentant une portion supérieure 21 qui accueille le bossage 18 du coussin 12, et une portion inférieure 22 qui accueille la plaque du coussin 12.The cavity 15 passes through the thickness t of the base 4, the cavity 15 having a portion upper 21 which accommodates the boss 18 of the cushion 12, and a lower portion 22 which welcomes the cushion plate 12.

Comme on le comprend également à l'aide de la figure 2, la portion supérieure 21 de la cavité 15 présente un bord périphérique 23 dont la longueur est sensiblement égale à la longueur du bord périphérique 20 du bossage 18 du coussin 12.As can also be understood from FIG. 2, the upper portion 21 of the cavity 15 has a peripheral edge 23 whose length is substantially equal to the length of the peripheral edge 20 of the boss 18 of the cushion 12.

Ainsi le coussin 12 peut être introduit dans la cavité 15 du côté d'une face inférieure 24 de l'embase 4, la face 24 étant prévue pour prendre appui sur la planche 3. Des portions 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30 de la plaque, délimitant la face supérieure 16, empêchent tout déplacement du coussin 12 dans un sens allant de la face inférieure 24 vers une face supérieure 31 de l'embase 4.Thus the cushion 12 can be introduced into the cavity 15 on the side of a lower face 24 of the base 4, the face 24 being provided to bear on the board 3. Portions 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30 of the plate, delimiting the upper face 16, prevent any displacement cushion 12 in a direction from the lower face 24 to an upper face 31 of the base 4.

Un déplacement du coussin 12 par rapport à l'embase 4, dans n'importe quel sens sensiblement parallèle à la face supérieure 31, est empêché par contact du bord périphérique 20 sur le bord périphérique 23.A displacement of the cushion 12 relative to the base 4, in any direction substantially parallel to the upper face 31, is prevented by contact with the peripheral edge 20 on the peripheral edge 23.

Des moyens d'accrochage s'opposent à un déplacement du coussin 12 par rapport à l'embase 4 dans un sens allant de la face supérieure 31 vers la face inférieure 24, c'est-à-dire dans un sens de désolidarisation du coussin 12 par rapport à l'embase 4.Fastening means oppose a displacement of the cushion 12 with respect to the base 4 in a direction from the upper face 31 to the lower face 24, that is to say in a direction of separation of the cushion 12 with respect to the base 4.

Ces moyens d'accrochage sont représentés sous la forme de bossages en saillie par rapport au bord périphérique 23 de la portion supérieure 21 de la cavité 15, tels que les bossages 32, 33.These attachment means are represented in the form of bosses protruding by relative to the peripheral edge 23 of the upper portion 21 of the cavity 15, such as the bosses 32, 33.

L'interaction des bossages du bord périphérique 23 avec le coussin 12 est expliquée à l'aide de la figure 4. Sur cette figure, des bossages 33 et 34 du bord 23 se logent respectivement dans des encoches 35, 36 de réception des bossages 33, 34, les encoches 35, 36 étant ménagées dans le bord périphérique 20 du coussin 12.The interaction of the bosses of the peripheral edge 23 with the cushion 12 is explained in using Figure 4. In this figure, bosses 33 and 34 of the edge 23 are lodged respectively in notches 35, 36 for receiving the bosses 33, 34, the notches 35, 36 being formed in the peripheral edge 20 of the cushion 12.

Le logement des bossages 33, 34 dans les encoches 35, 36 est possible grâce à la nature des matériaux constitutifs de l'embase 4 et des coussins 12, 13.The housing of the bosses 33, 34 in the notches 35, 36 is possible thanks to the nature of the materials constituting the base 4 and the cushions 12, 13.

L'embase 4 est réalisée avec un matériau relativement rigide, c'est-à-dire un matériau qui se déforme très peu sous l'action d'efforts exercés par un utilisateur au cours de la conduite de la planche 3. Un alliage métallique ou une matière plastique armée ou non, comme un polyamide armé de fibres de verre, convient très bien.The base 4 is made of a relatively rigid material, that is to say a material which deforms very little under the action of forces exerted by a user during the course of driving of plate 3. A metal alloy or a reinforced plastic material or not, as a polyamide reinforced with glass fibers, is very suitable.

Les coussins 12, 13 sont réalisés avec un matériau relativement souple, c'est-à-dire un matériau qui peut se déformer lorsqu'il est exercé sur lui une pression manuelle, et qui reprend sa forme initiale quand la pression disparaít.The cushions 12, 13 are made of a relatively flexible material, that is to say a material that can become deformed when manual pressure is exerted on it and its initial shape when the pressure disappears.

Ainsi, comme on le comprend à l'aide des figures 2, 3, 4, le coussin 12 est emboíté à la main dans la cavité 15 quand le dispositif 1 n'est pas retenu sur la planche 3.Thus, as can be understood from FIGS. 2, 3 and 4, the cushion 12 is fitted to the hand in the cavity 15 when the device 1 is not retained on the board 3.

Il suffit de faire passer le bossage 18 dans la cavité 15 jusqu'à ce que la face supérieure 16 du coussin 12 contacte l'embase 4. A partir de ce moment là, les bossages 33, 34 sont logés dans les encoches 35, 36 et maintiennent le coussin 12 en place sur l'embase 4. Il est alors facile de manipuler le dispositif 1 sans perdre le coussin. Les opérations de montage, de démontage, d'entretien, ou de réglage du dispositif sont facilitées.It is sufficient to pass the boss 18 in the cavity 15 until the upper face 16 of the cushion 12 contacts the base 4. From this moment, the bosses 33, 34 are housed in the notches 35, 36 and hold the cushion 12 in place on the base 4. It is then easy to handle the device 1 without losing the cushion. The assembly operations, Disassembly, maintenance, or adjustment of the device are facilitated.

La séparation du coussin 12 et de l'embase 4 se fait facilement quand le dispositif 1 n'est pas retenu sur la planche 3. Il suffit de pousser à la main le bossage 18 de façon à éloigner la face supérieure 16 du coussin 12 de l'embase 4. Cette opération se fait facilement grâce à la souplesse du matériau constitutif du coussin 12. La souplesse du coussin 12 est accrue par la présence d'une cavité 37 du coussin 12 qui débouche sur la face inférieure 17.The separation of the cushion 12 and the base 4 is easily done when the device 1 is not retained on the board 3. Just push the boss 18 by hand so as to remove the upper face 16 of the cushion 12 of the base 4. This operation is easily done thanks to the flexibility of the material constituting the cushion 12. The flexibility of the cushion 12 is increased by the presence of a cavity 37 of the cushion 12 which opens on the lower face 17.

L'avantage est que le remplacement du coussin 12 est très facile et très rapide. The advantage is that the replacement of the cushion 12 is very easy and very fast.

Bien entendu, comme le montre par exemple la figure 3, le coussin 12 ne peut pas sortir de la cavité 15 quand le dispositif 1 est retenu sur la planche 3. Ainsi, le coussin 12 peut amortir des chocs de la chaussure 2 sur l'embase 4.Of course, as shown for example in Figure 3, the cushion 12 can not out of the cavity 15 when the device 1 is retained on the board 3. Thus, the cushion 12 can damping shocks of the shoe 2 on the base 4.

Bien entendu, l'invention n'est pas limitée au mode de réalisation ainsi décrit, 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 embodiment thus described, and includes all technical equivalents that fall within the scope of the claims that will follow.

En particulier, le nombre de bossages du bord périphérique 23 n'est pas limité.In particular, the number of bosses of the peripheral edge 23 is not limited.

Les bossages du bord 23 peuvent avoir toute forme convenable, comme celle d'un prisme, d'une portion de sphère, d'un cylindre, d'un cône ou autre.The bosses of the edge 23 may have any suitable shape, such as that of a prism, a portion of sphere, a cylinder, a cone or other.

Les bossages pourraient être disposés sur le bord périphérique 20 du coussin 12.The bosses could be arranged on the peripheral edge 20 of the cushion 12.

Les encoches telles que les encoches 35, 36 ne sont pas indispensables.Notches such as notches 35, 36 are not essential.

La présence de la cavité 37 n'est pas indispensable.The presence of the cavity 37 is not essential.

La plaque délimitant la face supérieure 16 et la face inférieure 17 pourrait présenter un aspect continu, c'est-à-dire avec de la matière joignant les portions 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30.The plate delimiting the upper face 16 and the lower face 17 could have a continuous appearance, that is to say with material joining the portions 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30.

Chaque coussin 12, 13 peut présenter une forme appropriée comme celle d'une ellipse, d'un cercle, d'un polygone ou autre.Each cushion 12, 13 may have an appropriate shape such as that of an ellipse, a circle, a polygon or other.

La cavité 15 pourrait être non traversante et le montage du coussin pourrait se faire du côté de la face supérieure 31.The cavity 15 could be non-through and the mounting of the cushion could be done side of the upper face 31.

Encore, le moyen permettant un accrochage amovible du coussin 12 peut présenter une structure différente de celle utilisant des bossages. Par exemple, des clous pourraient traverser le coussin 12 entre les faces 16 et 17 pour se planter dans l'embase 4. Dans ce cas, la tête des clous fait face à la planche 3. Pour enlever ou mettre le coussin 12 sur le dispositif 1, il n'est pas nécessaire d'enlever les clous. En effet, la souplesse du coussin 12 permet à celui-ci de se déformer pour laisser passer les têtes des clous dans la matière constitutive du coussin 12. De plus, les clous et l'embase 4 peuvent être monobloc.Again, the means for detachable attachment of the cushion 12 may have a structure different from that using bosses. For example, nails could cross the cushion 12 between the faces 16 and 17 to be planted in the base 4. In this case, the head of the nails is facing the board 3. To remove or put the cushion 12 on the device 1, it is not no need to remove the nails. Indeed, the flexibility of the cushion 12 allows it to deform to let the heads of the nails into the material constituting the cushion 12. From more, the nails and the base 4 can be monobloc.

Il est également possible de réaliser l'invention comme il est montré à la figure 5.It is also possible to realize the invention as shown in FIG.

Selon cette variante de réalisation, le dispositif comprend un coussin 40 et une embase 41. Le coussin 40 présente deux bossages 42, 43 prévus pour être logés respectivement dans deux cavités 44, 45 de l'embase 41. Un moyen de retenue 46 et un disque 47 servent respectivement à retenir une chaussure sur l'embase 41 et à retenir l'embase 41 sur une planche.According to this variant embodiment, the device comprises a cushion 40 and a base 41. The cushion 40 has two bosses 42, 43 intended to be housed respectively in two cavities 44, 45 of the base 41. A retaining means 46 and a disc 47 serve respectively to retain a shoe on the base 41 and retain the base 41 on a board.

Le coussin 40 présente un orifice 48 qui permet au disque 47 de coopérer avec la planche pour retenir l'embase 41.The cushion 40 has an orifice 48 which allows the disc 47 to cooperate with the board for holding the base 41.

Le coussin 40 présente une face supérieure 49 sur laquelle prend appui l'embase 41 quand cette dernière est retenue sur la planche. Cela revient à dire que lorsque le dispositif est retenu sur la planche, l'embase 41 n'est pas en contact avec la planche, car l'embase 41 prend appui sur le coussin 40.The cushion 40 has an upper face 49 on which the base 41 is supported. when the latter is retained on the board. That is to say that when the device is retained on the board, the base 41 is not in contact with the board, because the base 41 takes support on the cushion 40.

Seule une face inférieure 50 du coussin 40, opposée à la face supérieure 49 par rapport à l'épaisseur du coussin 40, vient en contact avec la planche. Only a lower face 50 of the cushion 40, opposed to the upper face 49 relative to to the thickness of the cushion 40, comes into contact with the board.

Bien entendu, lorsque le dispositif est assemblé, les bossages 42, 43 sont en saillie par rapport à une face supérieure 51 de l'embase 41. Cela permet aux bossages 42, 43 de contacter la semelle de la chaussure pour amortir des chocs ou des vibrations de la chaussure par rapport au dispositif. Il pourrait être prévu, dans une variante de réalisation, un nombre de bossages supérieur à deux pour contacter la semelle de la chaussure.Of course, when the device is assembled, the bosses 42, 43 are protruded by relative to an upper face 51 of the base 41. This allows the bosses 42, 43 to contact the sole of the shoe to cushion shocks or vibrations of the shoe compared to the device. It could be provided, in an alternative embodiment, a number of bosses greater than two to contact the sole of the shoe.

Chacun des bords périphériques 52, 53 des cavités 44, 45 présente des moyens d'accrochage représentés sous la forme de bossages 54, 55, 56 et 57.Each of the peripheral edges 52, 53 of the cavities 44, 45 has means latches shown in the form of bosses 54, 55, 56 and 57.
