Abstract

The present invention relates to a safety binding of a boot on a ski comprising two lateral clamps (4) movably mounted under the action of an elastic member (28) parallel to the plane of the ski (3) between a closed position in which the clamps coact with the sole of the boot and an open position. Each clamp (4) is connected to one end of a longitudinally slidable strip (45) by means of articulatedly interconnected rods. The other end of the strip coacts with a crank (29-30) subjected to the action of the resilient member, whereby this crank has two stable positions corresponding to the respective open and closed positions of the clamps.

Description

La présente invention concerne une fixation de sécurité d'une chaussure sur un ski à mâchoires latérales, c'est-à-dire dans laquelle deux mâchoires latérales sont montées déplaçables parallèlement au plan du ski, sous l'effet d'un organe élastique, entre une position fermée pour laquelle elle coopère avec la semelle de la chaussure et une position ouverte pour laquelle celle-ci est complètement libérée.The present invention relates to a safety binding of a boot on a ski with side jaws, that is to say in which two side jaws are mounted movable parallel to the plane of the ski, under the effect of an elastic member, between a closed position for which it cooperates with the sole of the shoe and an open position for which the latter is completely released.

Le principe des fixations à mâchoires latérales est connu depuis plusieurs années, notamment par les brevets FR-A 1411638 et 2021 237, mais n'ont jusqu'à présent pas fait l'objet de réalisations suffisamment satisfaisantes et sûres pour être commercialisées avec succès.The principle of lateral jaw fasteners has been known for several years, in particular by patents FR-A 1411638 and 2021 237, but until now have not been the subject of sufficiently satisfactory and safe embodiments to be successfully marketed.

On connaît également déjà, notamment du brevet FR-A 2332773, des fixations de sécurité du type précité, dans lesquelles chaque mâchoire est portée par un bras dont l'extrémité libre est articulée sur un coulisseau axial d'actionnement, une biellette étant en outre articulée d'un côté sur une mâchoire et de l'autre sur le ski. Cette disposition présente l'inconvénient de limiter les possibilités de dégagement latéral de la chaussure, l'ouverture des mâchoires latérales étant relativement faible par rapport à la course axiale nécessaire du coulisseau d'actionnement.Also known, in particular from patent FR-A 2332773, safety fasteners of the aforementioned type, in which each jaw is carried by an arm whose free end is articulated on an axial actuating slide, a connecting rod being furthermore articulated on one side on a jaw and on the other on the ski. This arrangement has the drawback of limiting the possibilities of lateral release of the boot, the opening of the lateral jaws being relatively small compared to the necessary axial travel of the actuating slide.

En outre, le brevet FR-A 2445730 divulgue une fixation de sécurité du type précité, qui comporte, entre le ressort d'actionnement et l'organe de liaison, un tringlage constitué par deux biellettes articulées l'une avec l'autre et servant à assurer le passage de la position ouverte à la position fermée de service des mâchoires, et réciproquement. Toutefois, cette solution est désavantageuse, en ce sens que l'allongement du tringlage pour obtenir la position de service fermée se fait contre l'action du ressort d'actionnement, lequel est donc comprimé en position de service.In addition, patent FR-A 2,445,730 discloses a safety attachment of the aforementioned type, which comprises, between the actuating spring and the connecting member, a linkage constituted by two rods articulated with one another and serving to ensure the passage from the open position to the closed service position of the jaws, and vice versa. However, this solution is disadvantageous in the sense that the lengthening of the linkage to obtain the closed service position is effected against the action of the actuating spring, which is therefore compressed in the service position.

En conséquence, le but de cette invention est d'améliorer la fiabilité de fonctionnement des fixations de sécurité du type précité, et par là d'augmenter la sécurité des skieurs, en fournissant une fixation dans laquelle d'une part une ouverture maximale des mâchoires peut être obtenue avec un déplacement axial minimal de l'élément de liaison, et d'autre part un organe basculant permet d'obtenir quasiment instantanément le passage d'une position à l'autre, ceci avec un ressort d'actionnement qui n'est dans son état comprimé qu'en position ouverte hors-service.Consequently, the object of this invention is to improve the operating reliability of safety bindings of the aforementioned type, and thereby increase the safety of skiers, by providing a binding in which, on the one hand, a maximum opening of the jaws can be obtained with a minimal axial displacement of the connecting element, and on the other hand a tilting member makes it possible to obtain almost instantaneously the passage from one position to the other, this with an actuating spring which does not is in its compressed state only in the open position out of service.

Le but précité est atteint avec la fixation de sécurité selon l'invention, qui est caractérisée par le fait que chaque mâchoire est portée par un bras dont l'extrémité libre est montée pivotante sur le ski, et est reliée à l'extrémité avant d'une tringle coulissant longitudinalement au moyen de deux biellettes articulées l'une avec l'autre, par le fait que l'autre extrémité de la tringle coopère avec une bascule soumise à l'action de l'organe élastique, de telle sorte que cette bascule présente deux positions stables correspondant aux positions respectivement ouverte et fermée des mâchoires et par le fait que cette bascule comporte un premier élément pivotant sur un axe transversal fixe et présentant deux autres axes transversaux mobiles disposés en triangle avec ledit axe fixe, l'un de ces deux axes mobiles étant en prise avec l'extrémité arrière de la tringle et l'autre axe mobile étant articulé avec un second élément coopérant avec l'organe élastique.The above object is achieved with the safety binding according to the invention, which is characterized in that each jaw is carried by an arm whose free end is pivotally mounted on the ski, and is connected to the front end d '' a rod sliding longitudinally by means of two rods hinged to each other, by the fact that the other end of the rod cooperates with a rocker subjected to the action of the elastic member, so that this rocker has two stable positions corresponding to the respectively open and closed positions of the jaws and by the fact that this rocker comprises a first element pivoting on a fixed transverse axis and having two other movable transverse axes arranged in a triangle with said fixed axis, one of these two movable axes being engaged with the rear end of the rod and the other movable axis being articulated with a second element cooperating with the elastic member.

Selon une première réalisation de l'invention, la bascule est constituée d'une biellette coudée dont une extrémité coopère avec la tringle et l'autre extrémité est reliée par une biellette droite articulée à un piston soumis à l'action de l'organe élastique, cet élément étant pivoté par sa portion coudée sur un levier d'actionnement.According to a first embodiment of the invention, the lever consists of a bent link, one end of which cooperates with the rod and the other end is connected by a straight link articulated to a piston subjected to the action of the elastic member. , this element being pivoted by its bent portion on an actuating lever.

Selon une seconde réalisation de l'invention, la bascule est constituée par un levier d'actionnement pivotant sur un axe transversal fixe coopérant avec un boîtier contenant l'organe élastique, qui présente une première partie pivotant sur un autre axe transversal fixe et une seconde partie articulée sur le levier d'actionnement, les deux parties formant le boîtier coulissant l'une dans l'autre longitudinalement.According to a second embodiment of the invention, the rocker is constituted by an actuating lever pivoting on a fixed transverse axis cooperating with a housing containing the elastic member, which has a first part pivoting on another fixed transverse axis and a second part articulated on the actuating lever, the two parts forming the housing sliding one inside the other longitudinally.

La fixation de sécurité selon l'invention peut en outre comporter un dispositif de fermeture automatique agissant sur la bascule de ladite fixation.The safety binding according to the invention may also include an automatic closing device acting on the rocker of said binding.

En référence tout d'abord aux figures 1 à 4, la fixation de sécurité comporte deux plaques de base 1, 2 fixées sur un ski 3 et entre lesquelles sont montées deux mâchoires latérales 4, 4' déplaçables latéralement sous l'action d'un organe élastique contenu dans un boîtier 5 fixé sur le ski, l'organe élastique pouvant être actionné par un levier 6. Chaque mâchoire 4, 4' comporte dans la forme d'exécution illustrée à tire d'exemple une portion 7, 7' dirigée de bas en haut et de l'extérieur vers l'intérieur et faisant avec le plan du ski un angle aigu croissant d'avant en arrière de manière à conférer à cette portion une allure légèrement vrillée. L'angle minimum a peut être de l'ordre d'environ 30°, alors que l'angle maximum peut être de l'ordre d'environ 60°.Referring firstly to Figures 1 to 4, the safety binding comprises two base plates 1, 2 fixed on a ski 3 and between which are mounted two side jaws 4, 4 'movable laterally under the action of a elastic member contained in a housing 5 fixed on the ski, the elastic member being able to be actuated by a lever 6. Each jaw 4, 4 ′ comprises in the embodiment illustrated by way of example a portion 7, 7 ′ directed from bottom to top and from outside to inside and making an increasing acute angle from front to back with the plane of the ski so as to give this portion a slightly twisted appearance. The minimum angle a may be on the order of approximately 30 °, while the maximum angle may be on the order of approximately 60 °.

Selon une variante représentée en traits mixtes sur la figure 1, chaque mâchoires 4 peut présenter une portion médiane 7a évidée ne laissant que les deux portions externes 7b, 7c formant des sortes de griffes.According to a variant shown in phantom in Figure 1, each jaw 4 may have a recessed middle portion 7a leaving only the two outer portions 7b, 7c forming kinds of claws.

La chaussure de ski 8 destinée à coopérer avec les mâchoires décrites ci-dessus comporte une semelle 9, dont la partie médiane 10 présente des rebords latéraux 11, 11' formant de chaque côté de la semelle une rampe faisant avec le plan de celle-ci un angle aigu croissant d'avant en arrière et lui conférant une forme corespondante à celle de l'espace compris entre les mâchoires 4, 4' en position fermée. Ainsi, dans le position de service illustrée sur la figure 1, les mâchoires 4,4' épousent exactement les rampes latérales 11, 11 de la partie médiane 10 de la semelle 9 de la chaussure 8.The ski boot 8 intended to cooperate with the jaws described above comprises a sole 9, the middle part 10 of which has lateral flanges 11, 11 ′ forming on each side of the sole a ramp forming with the plane of the latter an increasing acute angle from front to back and giving it a shape corresponding to that of the space between the jaws 4, 4 'in the closed position. Thus, in the service position illustrated in FIG. 1, the jaws 4, 4 ′ exactly match the lateral ramps 11, 11 of the middle part 10 of the sole 9 of the shoe 8.

En outre, pour assurer un dégagement latéral aisé de la chaussure 8 lorsque les mâchoires sont en position ouvertes, soit à la suite d'une chute, soit volontairement, la semelle 9 présente encore deux gorges transversales 12, 13 délimitant respectivement vers l'avant et vers l'arrière la partie médiane 10. L'extrémité postérieure de cette partie médiane 10 présente en plus un retrait 14, situé sur l'axe longitudinal de la semelle et qui est destiné à coopérer, en position de service, avec un cône de centrage 15 fixé sur la plaque supérieure 2 de la fixation, en arrière par rapport aux mâchoires latérales 4, 4' et sur l'axe longitudinal médiane du ski.In addition, to ensure easy lateral release of the shoe 8 when the jaws are in the open position, either following a fall, or voluntarily, the sole 9 still has two transverse grooves 12, 13 respectively delimiting forward and towards the rear the middle part 10. The rear end of this middle part 10 also has a recess 14, located on the longitudinal axis of the sole and which is intended to cooperate, in the service position, with a cone centering 15 fixed on the upper plate 2 of the binding, back with respect to the lateral jaws 4, 4 'and on the median longitudinal axis of the ski.

Une première réalisation du dispositif d'actionnement des mâchoires latérales 4, 4' sera maintenant décrite en référence aux figures 5 à 8. Les mâchoires 4, 4' dont la forme en plan ici est conique, s'évasant vers l'arrière, comporte en plus des portions d'accrochage 7, 7' coopérant en position de service avec la semelle de la chaussure des portions horizontales 16, 16' constituant les prolongements de deux bras 17,17'. Ces bras 17, 17' sont montés pivotants sur la plaque 1 de la fixation sur des axes verticaux 18, 18', de telle sorte que les mâchoires 4, 4' se déplacent par pivotement des bras 17, 17' parallèlement à la. surface du ski entre une position ouverte (figures 5 et 6) et une position fermée (figures 7A, 7B et 8), les portions d'accrochage 7, 7' des mâchoires 4, 4' enserrant dans cette position fermée les rebords de la portion médiane de la semelle de la chaussure.A first embodiment of the device for actuating the lateral jaws 4, 4 ′ will now be described with reference to FIGS. 5 to 8. The jaws 4, 4 ′, the shape of which in plan here is conical, widening towards the rear, comprises in addition to the hooking portions 7, 7 'cooperating in the service position with the sole of the shoe, horizontal portions 16, 16' constituting the extensions of two arms 17, 17 '. These arms 17, 17 'are pivotally mounted on the plate 1 of the attachment on vertical axes 18, 18', so that the jaws 4, 4 'move by pivoting the arms 17, 17' parallel to the. surface of the ski between an open position (FIGS. 5 and 6) and a closed position (FIGS. 7A, 7B and 8), the attachment portions 7, 7 ′ of the jaws 4, 4 ′ enclosing the edges of the middle portion of the sole of the shoe.

Comme montré sur les figures 5 et 7A, une tringle 19 est montée coulissante longitudinalement entre les deux bras 17, 17' portant les mâchoires 4, 4', le mouvement de coulissement étant centré grâce à un téton 20 solidaire de la plaque 1 coopérant avec une fente longitudinale pratiquée dans cette tringle 19. L'extrémité antérieure de cette tringle 19 est reliée aux mâchoires latérales 4, 4', plus particulièrement à leurs portions horizontales 16, 16', au moyen de deux paires de bielletes 22, 23; 22', 23'. Chaque paire comprend une première biellette 22,22' dont une extrémité est articulée à l'extrémité de la tringle 19, l'autre extrémité de cette biellette 22, 22' étant elle-même articulée sur une seconde biellette 23, 23', laquelle est articulée sur la portion horizontale 16, 16' de la mâchoire 4, 4'. Les différentes articulations sont réalisées grâce à des axes de pivotement verticaux respectivement 24, 24'; 25, 25'; 26, 26'. Enfin, le bord externe de chaque seconde biellette 23, 23' est en contact avec un galet 27, 27' fixé sur la plaque 1 et muni d'une bague tournante de manière à guider et à faciliter le passage d'une position à l'autre.As shown in FIGS. 5 and 7A, a rod 19 is slidably mounted longitudinally between the two arms 17, 17 ′ carrying the jaws 4, 4 ′, the sliding movement being centered thanks to a stud 20 secured to the plate 1 cooperating with a longitudinal slot made in this rod 19. The front end of this rod 19 is connected to the lateral jaws 4, 4 ', more particularly to their horizontal portions 16, 16', by means of two pairs of rods 22, 23; 22 ', 23'. Each pair comprises a first link 22,22 ', one end of which is articulated on the end of the rod 19, the other end of this link 22, 22' being itself articulated on a second link 23, 23 ', which is articulated on the horizontal portion 16, 16 'of the jaw 4, 4'. The different joints are produced by vertical pivot axes 24, 24 'respectively; 25, 25 '; 26, 26 '. Finally, the outer edge of each second link 23, 23 'is in contact with a roller 27, 27' fixed on the plate 1 and provided with a rotating ring so as to guide and facilitate the transition from one position to the 'other.

Comme montré sur les figures 6, 7B et 8, la tringle 19 est reliée par son extrémité postérieure à un organe élastique constitué ici par un ressort 28 monté fixe par rapport au ski, longitudinalement en arrière la ladite tringle 19. Cette liaison est assurée par une bascule 29 constituée dans cette première réalisation par une pièce coudée dont l'une des extrémités coopère avec la tringle 19 et l'autre extrémité est reliée par une biellette 30 à un piston 31 solidaire du ressort 28. Plus particulièrement, et comme illustré sur la figure 7B, un axe transversal 32, fixé entre les extrémités correspondantes de deux bascules 29, 29' disposées latéralement parallèlement l'une à l'autre, coopère avec la gorge formée entre deux saillies transversales 33, 33' dont est munie l'extrémité postérieure de la tringle 19. De même, chacune des deux bascules 29, 29' est reliée au piston 31 par une biellette 30, 30', un axe transversal 34 étant fixé à l'articulation entre les bascules 29, 29' et les biellettes 30, 30' et un axe transversal 35 dont les extrémités servent d'articulation aux biellettes 30, 30' coopère avec ledit piston 31. Une tige de guidage 36 est de plus fixée longitudinalement par l'une de ses extrémités au piston 31, passe à traverse le ressort 28 et vient se loger par son autre extrémité librement dans un écrou de réglage 37, destiné à régler la force élastique du ressort 28 par visage ou dévissage de celui-ci dans la paroi du boîtier 5. Enfin, l'axe transversal 38 reliant les portions coudées des deux bascules 29, 29' parallèles est pivoté dans les parois latérales du boîtier 5.As shown in FIGS. 6, 7B and 8, the rod 19 is connected by its rear end to an elastic member constituted here by a spring 28 mounted fixed relative to the ski, longitudinally behind said rod 19. This connection is ensured by a rocker 29 constituted in this first embodiment by a bent piece, one of the ends of which cooperates with the rod 19 and the other end is connected by a link 30 to a piston 31 secured to the spring 28. More particularly, and as illustrated on FIG. 7B, a transverse axis 32, fixed between the corresponding ends of two rockers 29, 29 'arranged laterally parallel to one another, cooperates with the groove formed between two transverse projections 33, 33' which is provided with the rear end of the rod 19. Similarly, each of the two rockers 29, 29 'is connected to the piston 31 by a link 30, 30', a transverse axis 34 being fixed to the articulation between the rockers 29, 29 'and the biel lettes 30, 30 'and a transverse axis 35, the ends of which act as an articulation for the links 30, 30' cooperates with said piston 31. A guide rod 36 is moreover fixed longitudinally by one of its ends to piston 31, passes through the spring 28 and is housed at its other end freely in an adjustment nut 37, intended to adjust the elastic force of the spring 28 by face or unscrewing it in the wall of the housing 5. Finally, the transverse axis 38 connecting the bent portions of the two parallel rockers 29, 29 ′ is pivoted in the side walls of the housing 5.

Le mécanisme de liaison entre la tringle 19 et l'organe élastique 28 permet grâce à la présence des bascules 29, 29' de définir deux positions stables correspondant aux positions respectivement ouverte et fermée (figures 6 et 8) des mâchoires latérales 4, 4' .The linkage mechanism between the rod 19 and the elastic member 28 makes it possible, thanks to the presence of the latches 29, 29 ′, to define two stable positions corresponding to the respectively open and closed positions (FIGS. 6 and 8) of the lateral jaws 4, 4 ′ .

Comme illustré sur la figure 1, le levier de manipulation 6 est monté pivotant autour des extrémités de l'axe 38 à l'extérieur du boîtier 5, et est percé de chaque côté d'une ouverture 40 légèrement arquée dans laquelle se déplacent les extrémités de l'axe transversal 34 servant d'articulation entre les deux bascules 29, 29' et les deux biellettes 30, 30'.As illustrated in FIG. 1, the manipulation lever 6 is pivotally mounted around the ends of the axis 38 outside the housing 5, and is pierced on each side with a slightly arched opening 40 in which the ends move of the transverse axis 34 serving as an articulation between the two rockers 29, 29 'and the two links 30, 30'.

Le fonctionnement de la fixation de sécurité telle qu'elle vient d'être décrite en référence aux figures 1 à 8 est le suivant.The operation of the safety fastener as it has just been described with reference to Figures 1 to 8 is as follows.

La fixation de la chaussure 8 sur le ski 3 est obtenue en disposant celle-ci entre les mâchoires latérales 4, 4' ouvertes, de telle sorte que la chaussure soit centrée grâce au cône de centrage 15 coopérant avec le retrait 14 correspondant pratiqué à l'arrière de la partie médiane 10 de la semelle 9. Puis il suffit de tirer sur le levier de tension 6 pour le lever et provoquer ainsi l'inversion de la position des bascules 29, 29' ce qui provoque le déplacement vers l'arrière de la tringle 19 (voir figure 8) et par là la fermeture des mâchoires 4,4' sur la partie médiane 10 de la semelle 9 de la chaussure 8.The binding of the boot 8 on the ski 3 is obtained by placing the latter between the lateral jaws 4, 4 ′ open, so that the boot is centered thanks to the centering cone 15 cooperating with the corresponding withdrawal 14 made in the 'rear of the middle part 10 of the sole 9. Then it is enough to pull on the tension lever 6 to lift it and thus cause the reversal of the position of the rockers 29, 29' which causes the rearward movement of the rod 19 (see FIG. 8) and thereby the closing of the jaws 4,4 ' on the middle part 10 of the sole 9 of the shoe 8.

Selon une variante illustrée en traits mixtes sur les figures 2 et 3, le rebord supérieur de la portion 7 de chaque mâchoire 4 peut présenter deux encoches ouvertes 50, de forme approximativement carrée ou rectangulaire, et dont les parois latérales internes sont évasées, avec des pentes d'environ 45°, de l'extérieur vers l'intérieur. Ces encoches 50 sont destinées à coopérer en position de service avec des taquets 51 de forme correspondante auxdites encoches. Avec cette variante, l'effort de torsion en cas de chute est mieux transmis aux mâchoires, et de plus le centrage de la chaussure est amélioré.According to a variant illustrated in phantom in Figures 2 and 3, the upper rim of the portion 7 of each jaw 4 may have two open notches 50, of approximately square or rectangular shape, the internal side walls of which are flared, with slopes of about 45 °, from the outside to the inside. These notches 50 are intended to cooperate in the service position with tabs 51 of shape corresponding to said notches. With this variant, the torsional force in the event of a fall is better transmitted to the jaws, and moreover the centering of the shoe is improved.

La conception de la liaison tringle 19 - organe élastique 28 au moyen d'un système de bascule permettant un déplacement de l'axe d'appui de la biellette reliée audit organe élastique constitue un bras de levier se modifiant de manière graduelle, diminuant ainsi graduellement le moment de force nécessaire pour passer de la position ouverte à la position fermée et inversément. L'ouverture, respectivement la fermeture, des mâchoires est donc réalisée automatiquement immédiatement après le passage du point d'équilibre de la bascule (point d'inversion). On peut constater que le ressort 28 est moins comprimé en position de service (figure 8) qu'en position ouverte (figure 6), et par conséquent moins sollicité mécaniquement, ce qui tend à lui assurer un plus grande longévité.The design of the linkage rod 19 - elastic member 28 by means of a rocker system allowing a displacement of the support axis of the link connected to said elastic member constitutes a lever arm modifying gradually, thus gradually decreasing the moment of force necessary to pass from the open position to the closed position and vice versa. The opening, respectively closing, of the jaws is therefore carried out automatically immediately after passing the balance point of the rocker (reversal point). It can be seen that the spring 28 is less compressed in the operating position (FIG. 8) than in the open position (FIG. 6), and therefore less stressed mechanically, which tends to give it greater longevity.

De plus, le système de bielletes 22, 22'; 23, 23' pour assurer la liaison entre l'extrémité avant de la tringle 19 et les mâchoires 4, 4' permet une ouverture de celles-ci maximale pour un déplacement longitudinal très réduit de la tringle 19 et par là du ressort 28. Ceci est important pour permettre le dégagement complet de la chaussure lorsque les mâchoires sont en position ouvertes, soit par une manipulation volontaire du levier 6 obtenue en l'abaissant, par exemple en appuyant la pointe du bâton de ski dans l'encoche 41 prévue à cet effet à l'extrémité supérieure dudit levier 6 et en poussant vers le bas celui-ci, soit à cause d'une chute ayant conduit au fonctionnement du système de sécurité. En effet, la longueur de la partie médiane 10 de la semelle 9 étant inférieure à la distance minimale entre les mâchoires 4, 4' en position ouverte, la chaussure 8 peut effectuer une rotation de 90° de chaque côté du ski au-dessus de ces mâchoires 4, 4' grâce à la présence des gorges transversales 12, 13 délimitant en avant et en arrière cette partie médiane 10, ce qui permet le dégagement de la chaussure dans n'importe quelle position.In addition, the rod system 22, 22 ' ; 23, 23 ' to ensure the connection between the front end of the rod 19 and the jaws 4, 4' allows a maximum opening thereof for a very reduced longitudinal displacement of the rod 19 and thereby the spring 28. This is important to allow complete release of the boot when the jaws are in the open position, either by voluntary manipulation of the lever 6 obtained by lowering it, for example by pressing the tip of the ski pole into the notch 41 provided for this effect at the upper end of said lever 6 and pushing it down, either because of a fall having led to the operation of the security system. In fact, the length of the middle part 10 of the sole 9 being less than the minimum distance between the jaws 4, 4 ′ in the open position, the boot 8 can rotate 90 ° on each side of the ski above these jaws 4, 4 ′ by virtue of the presence of the transverse grooves 12, 13 delimiting forwards and backwards this middle part 10, which allows the shoe to be released in any position.

Ainsi, l'utilisation de biellettes articulées permet d'obtenir une durée de vie supérieure du dispositif, les frottements étant nettement réduits par rapport aux systèmes connus.Thus, the use of articulated links makes it possible to obtain a longer service life of the device, the friction being significantly reduced compared to known systems.

Avec cette première réalisation de la fixation selon l'invention, il est également possible de prévoir un système de chaussage automatique, évitant à l'utilisateur de manipuler le levier. Contrairement aux systèmes connus, qui sont basés sur la retenue de l'organe élastique, l'organe de fermeture automatique illustré sur les figures 9 et 10 est destiné à pousser légèrement la tringle 19 pour inverser la position de tension grâce à la présence de la bascule. Cet organe de fermeture automatique peut être formé par exemple d'un levier 42 articulé sur un axe transversal 43 fixe par rapport au ski et présentant un talon 44 coopérant en position ouverte des mâchoires avec la saillie transversale antérieure 33 de la tringle 19 (voir figure 9). Pour enclencher automatiquement la fixation, il suffit alors d'abaisser le levier42 en appuyant le talon de la chaussure 8 sur son extrémité avant libre. Ce mouvement provoque une poussée du talon 44 contre la saillie transversale 33 et par là le déplacement dans l'arrière de la tringle 19 (voirfigure 9), ce qui a pour effet de faire basculer le dispositif jusqu'à la position de service fermée avec la tringle 19 dans sa position tirée en arrière (voirfigure 10).With this first embodiment of the binding according to the invention, it is also possible to provide an automatic fitting system, avoiding the user to manipulate the lever. Unlike known systems, which are based on the retention of the elastic member, the automatic closing member illustrated in FIGS. 9 and 10 is intended to slightly push the rod 19 to reverse the tension position thanks to the presence of the rocking. This automatic closing member can be formed for example of a lever 42 articulated on a transverse axis 43 fixed relative to the ski and having a heel 44 cooperating in the open position of the jaws with the front transverse projection 33 of the rod 19 (see figure 9). To automatically engage the binding, it suffices to lower the lever 42 by pressing the heel of the shoe 8 on its free front end. This movement causes the heel 44 to push against the transverse projection 33 and thereby the displacement in the rear of the rod 19 (see FIG. 9), which has the effect of tilting the device to the closed service position with the rod 19 in its pulled back position (see Figure 10).

La fixation illustrée sur les figures 11 et 12 consiste en une variante de la forme d'exécution du dispositif d'actionnement des mâchoires décrit précédemment en référence aux figures 5 à 8.The binding illustrated in FIGS. 11 and 12 consists of a variant of the embodiment of the jaw actuation device described above with reference to FIGS. 5 to 8.

Dans cette variante, la tringle coulissante 45 est reliée aux bras 46, 46' portant les mâchoires 4, 4' par l'entremise de deux paires de biellettes, plus particulièrement aux portions antérieures 47, 47' de ces bras dont les rebords latéraux forment les mâchoires 7b, 7c. Chaque paire de biellettes comprend une biellette droite 48, 48' articulée à l'extrémité antérieure de la tringle 45 et une biellette 49, 49' coudée à angle droit. Cette biellette 49, 49' est pivotée au niveau de sa portion coudée autour d'un téton 50a, 50a' solidaire de la plaque de base 1. Elle est de plus articulée par l'une de ses extrémités à l'extrémité antérieure de la biellette droite 48, 48' d'une part, et par son autre extrémité à un téton 50b, 50b' solidaire de la portion antérieure 47, 47' des mâchoires 4, 4' d'autre part, ce téton 50b, 50b' coopérant plus particulièrement avec une ouverture 51 alongée longitudinalement pratiqué à l'extrémité de ladite biellette coudée 49, 49', de manière à permettre l'ouverture latérale des mâchoires 4, 4' sous l'effet d'un mouvement de translation longitudinal vers l'avant de la tringle 45.In this variant, the sliding rod 45 is connected to the arms 46, 46 ′ carrying the jaws 4, 4 ′ by means of two pairs of rods, more particularly to the anterior portions 47, 47 ′ of these arms, the lateral edges of which form the jaws 7b, 7c. Each pair of links comprises a straight link 48, 48 'articulated at the front end of the rod 45 and a link 49, 49' bent at a right angle. This link 49, 49 'is pivoted at its portion bent around a stud 50a, 50a ' secured to the base plate 1. It is moreover articulated by one of its ends to the anterior end of the straight link 48, 48' on the one hand, and by its other end to a stud 50b, 50b 'integral with the front portion 47, 47' of the jaws 4, 4 'on the other hand, this stud 50b, 50b' cooperating more particularly with an opening 51 elongated longitudinally formed at the end of said bent rod 49, 49 ', so as to allow the lateral opening of the jaws 4, 4 ' under the effect of a longitudinal translational movement towards the front of the rod 45.

Avec cette variante les zones de frottements sont encore diminués ce qui améliore la qualité de fonctionnement du mécanisme et sa durée de vie. Pour le reste, le fonctionnement du dispositif est le même que celui décrit précédemment, les organes correspondants portant les mêmes chiffres de référence que dans la réalisation des figures 5 à 8.With this variant, the friction zones are further reduced, which improves the quality of operation of the mechanism and its lifespan. For the rest, the operation of the device is the same as that described above, the corresponding members bearing the same reference numbers as in the embodiment of FIGS. 5 to 8.

En outre, sur cette variante est représentée une butée réglable 52 qui peut être prévue en avant des mâchoires 4, 4' de la fixation. Cette butée réglable comporte un plot 53 solidaire de l'extrémité antérieure d'une lame 54 montée coulissante longitudinalement dans une ouverture axiale 55 prévue au-dessous de la plaque de base 2' de la fixation. Cette lame 54 est munie de crans 56 destinés à coopérer avec un organe de verrouillage 57 actionnable depuis l'extérieur en vue de fixer la position longitudinale de la butée réglable. Ainsi, cette butée présente d'une part l'avantage de faciliter au skieur le chaussage de la fixation en déterminant la position avant contre laquelle doit être placée l'extrémité avant de la semelle de la chaussure et permet d'autre part, grâce à la forme extérieure aérodynamique donnée au plot 53 de faire dévier la neige sur les côtés et éviter l'accumulation de celle-ci contre la pointe de la chaussure.In addition, on this variant is shown an adjustable stop 52 which can be provided in front of the jaws 4, 4 'of the attachment. This adjustable stop comprises a stud 53 secured to the front end of a blade 54 slidably mounted longitudinally in an axial opening 55 provided below the base plate 2 'of the binding. This blade 54 is provided with notches 56 intended to cooperate with a locking member 57 actuable from the outside in order to fix the longitudinal position of the adjustable stop. Thus, this stop has on the one hand the advantage of making it easier for the skier to put on the binding by determining the front position against which the front end of the sole of the shoe must be placed and, on the other hand, allows the aerodynamic outer shape given to the pad 53 to deflect the snow on the sides and avoid the accumulation of it against the tip of the shoe.

Une autre variante illustrée sur les figures 13 et 14 se distingue de la précédente en ce qu'elle comporte en plus un dispositif de fermeture automatique («step in») des mâchoires déclenché par la mise en position de service de la chaussure de ski (non montrée) sur la fixation. Contrairement à la réalisation des figures 9 et 10 nécessitant la présence d'un organe de fermeture particulier supplémentaire, on utilise dans la variante des figures 13 et 14 le mouvement de remise en position horizontale du dispositif de freinage du ski («stopper»).Another variant illustrated in FIGS. 13 and 14 differs from the previous one in that it further comprises an automatic closing device (“step in”) of the jaws triggered by the placing in the service position of the ski boot ( not shown) on the mounting. Contrary to the embodiment of FIGS. 9 and 10 requiring the presence of an additional particular closing member, in the variant of FIGS. 13 and 14, the movement of resetting the horizontal braking device of the ski ("stop") is used.

En effet, les deux branches latérales 56,56' du stopper sont montées solidaires en rotation sur deux cylindres 57, 57' montés pivotants sur leur axe dans les parois latérales du boîtier 5, chaque cylindre étant muni d'un téton d'actionnement 58, 58' perpendiculaire à l'axe dudit cylindre 57, 57'. Ainsi, dans la position hors-service de la fixation (non illustrée), c'est-à-dire lorsque les mâchoires 4, 4' sont ouvertes et la tringle 45' en position avancée, le stopper est dans sa position active avec la portion antérieure 59 de celui-ci en position relevée, comme montré en traits mixtes sur la figure 13, et les branches faisant saillie sous le ski. Lorsque le skieur rechausse ses skis, il doit donc avec sa chaussure venir appuyer sur cette portion antérieure 59 du stopper pour remettre celui-ci dans sa position horizontale inactive illustrée, ce qui provoque une rotation des cylindres transversaux 57, 57' dans le sens opposé à celui des aiguilles d'une montre, de telle sorte que les tétons 58, 58' entrent en contact avec des ailettes transversales 60, 60' dont est munie la tringle 45' et poussent celle-ci vers l'arrière pour provoquer le basculement de la bascule 29-30 et ainsi la fermeture des mâchoires 4,4'.Indeed, the two lateral branches 56, 56 ′ of the stopper are mounted integral in rotation on two cylinders 57, 57 ′ pivotally mounted on their axis in the side walls of the housing 5, each cylinder being provided with an actuating pin 58 , 58 'perpendicular to the axis of said cylinder 57, 57'. Thus, in the out-of-service position of the binding (not shown), that is to say when the jaws 4, 4 ′ are open and the rod 45 ′ in the advanced position, the stop is in its active position with the anterior portion 59 thereof in the raised position, as shown in phantom in Figure 13, and the branches projecting under the ski. When the skier raises his skis, he must therefore with his shoe come to press on this front portion 59 of the stopper to return it to its inactive horizontal position illustrated, which causes a rotation of the transverse cylinders 57, 57 'in the opposite direction to that of the hands of a watch, so that the pins 58, 58 'come into contact with transverse fins 60, 60' which are provided with the rod 45 'and push the latter rearward to cause the tilting of the rocker 29-30 and thus the closing of the jaws 4,4 '.

Dans la forme d'exécution représentée sur les figures 15 et 16, le dispositif de bascule constitué par des biellettes dans les réalisations déjà décrites est remplacé par une autre construction dans laquelle le levier d'actionnement 61 joue le rôle de la biellette coudée et le système bascule est assuré par le fait que le boîtier 62 contenant le ressort 61 de la fixation est monté pivotant. Plus particulièrement, le boîtier-ressort pivotant 62 est constitué de deux parties 63, 64, la partie avant 63 pouvant se déplacer par coulissement sur la partie arrière 64, de manière à agir comme piston pour comprimer le ressort 28, la force de celui-ci étant ajustable au moyen d'une vis de réglage 65 accessible depuis l'arrière du dispositif.In the embodiment shown in FIGS. 15 and 16, the tilting device constituted by rods in the embodiments already described is replaced by another construction in which the actuating lever 61 plays the role of the bent rod and the tilting system is ensured by the fact that the housing 62 containing the spring 61 of the binding is pivotally mounted. More particularly, the pivoting spring-housing 62 consists of two parts 63, 64, the front part 63 being able to move by sliding on the rear part 64, so as to act as a piston to compress the spring 28, the force of this- ci being adjustable by means of an adjustment screw 65 accessible from the rear of the device.

La partie arrière 64 du boîtier-piston 62 est montée pivotante sur ses axes 66, 66' transversaux dans deux parois latérales 67, 67' fixées verticalement sur la surface supérieure du ski 3. Quant à la partie arrière 63 de ce boîtier 62, elle est montée pivotante sur ses axes 68, 68' transversaux dans les parois latérales du levier 61, celui-ci étant monté pivotant sur ses axes 69, 69' dans les parois latérales 67, 67' fixées au ski 3.The rear part 64 of the piston housing 62 is pivotally mounted on its transverse axes 66, 66 ′ in two side walls 67, 67 ′ fixed vertically on the upper surface of the ski 3. As for the rear part 63 of this housing 62, it is pivotally mounted on its axes 68, 68 'transverse in the side walls of the lever 61, the latter being pivotally mounted on its axes 69, 69' in the side walls 67, 67 ' fixed to the ski 3.

Sur les figures 15 et 16 est représentée la position du dispositif correspondant à la position de serivce avec mâchoires fermées. Lorsque le levier 61 est volontairement poussé vers le bas, ou en cas d'ouverture des mâchoires provoquées par une chute par exemple, alors le boîtier-ressort 62 se déplace simultanément au levier 61 vers le bas en pivotant sur les axes 66, 66', et les axes 68, 68' reliant le levier 61 au boîtier 62 décrivent un arc de cercle, ceci provoquant la compression du ressort 28 et l'inversion de la bascule; ainsi la tige transversale 32 dont est munie l'extrémité inférieure du levier 61 tend à pousser la tringle 45 d'actionnement des mâchoires 4, 4' vers l'avant en coopérant avec la formation 33 que présente la tringle 45 à son extrémité postérieure.In Figures 15 and 16 is shown the position of the device corresponding to the position of service with closed jaws. When the lever 61 is deliberately pushed down, or in the event of the jaws opening caused by a fall for example, then the spring housing 62 moves simultaneously with the lever 61 downwards by pivoting on the axes 66, 66 ' , and the axes 68, 68 'connecting the lever 61 to the housing 62 describe an arc of a circle, this causing the compression of the spring 28 and the reversal of the rocker; thus the transverse rod 32 which is provided with the lower end of the lever 61 tends to push the rod 45 for actuating the jaws 4, 4 'forwards while cooperating with the formation 33 which the rod 45 has at its rear end.

Enfin, la forme d'exécution schématisée sur les figures 17 et 18 se distingue des précédentes par le fait que l'organe élastique est disposé en avant des mâchoires latérales. Comme illustré la chaussure de ski 9 est fixée sur la surface du ski par les mâchoires latérales 4, 4', celles-ci étant soumises à l'action d'un ressort (non montré) disposé dans un boîtier 105 fixé en avant de la pointe de la chaussure 8. Comme précédemment, les mâchoires 104,104' sont porées par des bras 146, 146' montés pivotants sur le ski (voir figures 11 et 12), et sont reliées à une tringle 145 par l'entremise de biellette 148, 148'; 149, 149', la tringle 145 coulissant longitudinalement et coopérant par son extrémité avant avec l'organe élastique (non représenté) par l'entremise d'un dispositif à bascule qui peut être similaire à celui décrit en référence aux figures 11 et 12, l'axe de pivotement 138 du levier 106 étant bien entendu déplacé pour que cleui-ci se trouve en position basse (voir figure 18) lorsque la fixation est fermée (position de service).Finally, the embodiment shown diagrammatically in FIGS. 17 and 18 differs from the previous ones by the fact that the elastic member is arranged in front of the lateral jaws. As illustrated, the ski boot 9 is fixed to the ski surface by the side jaws 4, 4 ', these being subjected to the action of a spring (not shown) disposed in a housing 105 fixed in front of the tip of the boot 8. As before, the jaws 104, 104 'are carried by arms 146, 146' pivotally mounted on the ski (see FIGS. 11 and 12), and are connected to a rod 145 by means of rod 148, 148 '; 149, 149 ′, the rod 145 sliding longitudinally and cooperating at its front end with the elastic member (not shown) by means of a rocking device which may be similar to that described with reference to FIGS. 11 and 12, the pivot axis 138 of the lever 106 being of course moved so that it is in the low position (see FIG. 18) when the binding is closed (service position).

En plus des avantages déjà mentionnés, à savoir simplicité de construction et de fonctionnement, dégagement assuré de la chaussure en cas de chute, durée de vie plus importante dûe à la diminution des frottements, le dispositif de fixation selon l'invention présente en outre l'avantage de pouvoir être facilement combiné avec un système automatique de chaussage de cette fixation. En effet, étant donné qu'il suffit pour passer de la position ouverte des mâchoires a leur position fermée d'agir sur la bascule, il convient donc de prévoir un organe agissant sur cette bascule, ou sur la tringle qui y est reliée, pouvant être par exemple actionné par la mise en place de la chaussure de ski. Ainsi, cet organe peut être combiné à un dispositif de freinage, ou «stopper», dont est équipé le ski, par exemple comme illustré sur les figures 11 et 12, ou de toute autre manière non spécifiquement décrite ici.In addition to the advantages already mentioned, namely simplicity of construction and operation, guaranteed release of the boot in the event of a fall, longer service life due to the reduction in friction, the fastening device according to the invention furthermore presents the advantage of being able to be easily combined with an automatic fitting system for this binding. Indeed, since it suffices to move from the open position of the jaws to their closed position to act on the rocker, it is therefore necessary to provide a member acting on this rocker, or on the rod which is connected thereto, which can be for example actuated by the establishment of the ski boot. Thus, this member can be combined with a braking device, or “stop”, with which the ski is equipped, for example as illustrated in FIGS. 11 and 12, or in any other way not specifically described here.
