Description

La présente invention a pour objet un dispositif de fermeture de deux parties d'une chaussure de sport, particulièrement destiné à fermer une chaussure de ski présentant deux parties latérales dont les bords sont recouverts par une partie ou languette médiane, ce dispositif comportant essentiellement un organe de liaison, par exemple une boucle, articulé sur un levier tendeur autour d'un axe autour duquel est monté un ressort ayant tendance à maintenir le levier tendeur et l'organe de liaison contre la chaussure.The present invention relates to a device for closing two parts of a sports boot, particularly intended for closing a ski boot having two lateral parts, the edges of which are covered by a middle part or tongue, this device essentially comprising a member. link, for example a loop, articulated on a tension lever around an axis around which is mounted a spring tending to hold the tension lever and the connecting member against the shoe.

Un dispositif de ce type est décrit dans le brevet US 4 051 611. Ce dispositif comprend un levier tendeur articulé sur un support fixé à l'une des parties de la chaussure et sur lequel est articulé un organe de liaison comportant une boucle destinée à s'accrocher dans une crémaillère fixée sur l'autre partie de la chaussure. Dans le cas d'une chaussure comportant deux parties latérales dont les bords sont recouverts par une partie médiane en forme de languette, la crémaillère et le levier tendeur doivent être fixés sur les deux parties latérales de la chaussure en deux points relativement très écartés l'un de l'autre de manière à pouvoir fermer la chaussure en rapprochant l'une de l'autre les deux parties latérales, sans que ce rapprochement soit gêné par la partie médiane de la chaussure. Ceci nécessite-l'emploi d'un long élément de liaison, c'est-à-dire d'une longue boucle. En position ouverte de la chaussure, cette longue boucle est embarrassante car elle risque de s'accrocher à l'autre chaussure ou à tout objet situé à proximité de la chaussure et de s'abîmer.A device of this type is described in US Pat. No. 4,051,611. This device comprises a tensioning lever articulated on a support fixed to one of the parts of the shoe and on which is articulated a connecting member comprising a loop intended for s 'hang in a rack attached to the other part of the shoe. In the case of a shoe comprising two lateral parts, the edges of which are covered by a middle part in the form of a tongue, the rack and the tensioning lever must be fixed on the two lateral parts of the shoe at two relatively distant points from one another so as to be able to close the shoe by bringing the two lateral parts closer to each other, without this approximation being hindered by the middle part of the shoe. This requires the use of a long connecting element, that is to say a long loop. In the open position of the shoe, this long loop is embarrassing because it may catch on the other shoe or any object located near the shoe and be damaged.

La présente invention a précisément pour but de permettre d'écarter les points de fixation du support du levier tendeur et du point de solidarisation de l'élément de liaison à l'autre partie de la chaussure sans allonger l'élément de liaison. A cet effet, dans le dispositif de fermeture selon l'invention, le levier tendeur est articulé à l'extrémité d'au moins un bras dont l'autre extrémité est articulée autour d'un axe sur un support destiné à être fixé à l'une des parties de la chaussure, en arrière de l'axe d'articulation du levier. En position fermée, l'axe d'articulation du levier sur le bras est donc situé au-dessus de la partie médiane de la chaussure. D'autre part, un ressort monté autour de l'axe d'articulation de l'organe de liaison sur le levier tendeur a tendance à maintenir l'organe de liaison contre la chaussure, de telle sorte qu'en position ouverte du dispositif le levier tendeur et l'organe de liaison ont tendance à être maintenus en appui contre la chaussure, en diminuant ainsi l'encombrement du dispositif en position ouverte. Le dispositif comporte en outre des moyens de verrouillage du levier tendeur à l'axe d'articulation du bras au support fixé à la chaussure et le levier est muni d'un dispositif de commande pour le déverrouiller.The object of the present invention is precisely to allow the attachment points of the support of the tensioning lever and the point of attachment of the connecting element to the other part of the shoe to be moved away without elongating the connecting element. To this end, in the closure device according to the invention, the tensioning lever is articulated at the end of at least one arm, the other end of which is articulated around an axis on a support intended to be fixed to the 'one of the parts of the shoe, behind the axis of articulation of the lever. In the closed position, the axis of articulation of the lever on the arm is therefore located above the middle part of the shoe. On the other hand, a spring mounted around the articulation axis of the connecting member on the tensioning lever tends to hold the connecting member against the shoe, so that in the open position of the device the tensioning lever and the connecting member tend to be held in abutment against the shoe, thereby reducing the size of the device in the open position. The device further comprises means for locking the tensioning lever to the articulation axis of the arm to the support fixed to the shoe and the lever is provided with a control device for unlock it.

Selon un mode d'exécution le dispositif comporte un crochet mobile monté dans le levier tendeur et soumis à l'action d'un ressort qui tend à le maintenir accroché à l'axe d'articulation du bras sur son support pour verrouiller le levier tendeur en position fermée, rabattue, le crochet étant muni d'un bras coopérant avec un bras auxiliaire articulé à l'extrémité libre du levier tendeur et prolongeant cette extrémité, pour dégager ledit crochet de l'axe d'articulation du bras lorsque le levier tendeur est soulevé par son extrémité constituée du levier auxiliaire. Le levier tendeur est ainsi verrouillé en position fermée par son crochet.According to one embodiment, the device comprises a movable hook mounted in the tensioning lever and subjected to the action of a spring which tends to keep it attached to the articulation axis of the arm on its support to lock the tensioning lever in the closed, folded position, the hook being provided with an arm cooperating with an auxiliary arm articulated at the free end of the tensioning lever and extending this end, to release said hook from the articulation axis of the arm when the tensioning lever is lifted by its end consisting of the auxiliary lever. The tensioning lever is thus locked in the closed position by its hook.

Il a certes déjà été proposé, dans le modèle d'utilité DE 80 02 933, de munir un levier tendeur d'un crochet destiné à s'accrocher dans un cran du.support du levier tendeur. Le cran étant situé à l'extrémité de la plaque recourbée constituant le support du levier tendeur, un tel dispositif ne peut être monté que sur une partie de chaussure de courbure déterminée. Ce n'est pas le cas du dispositif selon l'invention car le support du bras portant le levier tendeur peut avoir différentes inclinaisons sans influence sur la position de l'axe d'articulation auquel vient s'accrocher le crochet du levier tendeur.It has certainly already been proposed, in the utility model DE 80 02 933, to provide a tensioning lever with a hook intended to hang in a notch du.support of the tensioning lever. The notch being located at the end of the curved plate constituting the support of the tensioning lever, such a device can only be mounted on a part of a shoe of determined curvature. This is not the case for the device according to the invention because the support of the arm carrying the tensioning lever can have different inclinations without influence on the position of the articulation axis to which the hook of the tensioning lever is hooked.

Selon une exécution préférée de l'invention, l'organe de liaison est constitué par une boucle articulée sur le levier tendeur par l'intermédiaire d'un dispositif de réglage de longueur, cette boucle venant s'accrocher dans les dents d'une crémaillère fixée sur l'autre partie de la chaussure. Il est toutefois possible d'inverser ces éléments en utilisant une boucle articulée sur la partie de la chaussure opposée au levier tendeur, un crochet simple ou en forme de crémaillère étant articulé sur le levier tendeur pour l'accrochage de la boucle.According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, the connecting member is constituted by a loop articulated on the tensioning lever by means of a length adjustment device, this loop coming to hang in the teeth of a rack attached to the other part of the shoe. It is however possible to reverse these elements using a hinged loop on the part of the shoe opposite the tensioning lever, a simple hook or rack being articulated on the tensioning lever for hooking the buckle.

Le dispositif représenté au dessin comprend un levier tendeur 1 articulé en des points 2 et 3 à deux bras parallèles 4 et 5 et entre ces deux bras, les autres extrémités des bras 4 et 5 étant articulées autour d'un axe 6 sur les deux joues d'un étrier 7 fixé sur une partie latérale 8 d'une chaussure de ski comportant une autre partie latérale 9 et une troisième partie 10 recouvrant les bords opposés des parties latérales 8 et 9. Le levier tendeur 1 est en forme de fourche entre les doigts de laquelle est articulée une tige 11 autour d'un axe 12. La tige 11 présente une partie filetée 11a sur laquelle est vissé un bloc 13 sur lequel est articulée une boucle 14 destinée à s'accrocher à un crochet multiple 15 en forme de crémaillère fixé par un rivet à la partie latérale 9 de la chaussure. Un ressort en cor de chasse 16 monté autour de l'axe 12, a tendance à maintenir le levier 1 et la tige 11 appliqués contre la chaussure.The device shown in the drawing comprises a tensioning lever 1 articulated at points 2 and 3 with two parallel arms 4 and 5 and between these two arms, the other ends of the arms 4 and 5 being articulated around an axis 6 on the two cheeks of a stirrup 7 fixed on a lateral part 8 of a ski boot comprising another lateral part 9 and a third part 10 covering the opposite edges of the lateral parts 8 and 9. The tensioning lever 1 is in the form of a fork between the fingers of which a rod 11 is articulated around an axis 12. The rod 11 has a threaded portion 11a on which is screwed a block 13 on which is articulated a loop 14 intended to be hooked to a multiple hook 15 in the form of rack fixed by a rivet to the lateral part 9 of the shoe. A hunting horn spring 16 mounted around the axis 12, tends to keep the lever 1 and the rod 11 applied against the shoe.

Dans un évidement du levier tendeur 1 de largeur sensiblement égale a la distance séparant les deux bras du levier tendeur, est monté un crochet 17 articulé autour d'un axe 18 et muni d'un bras 17a s'étendant en direction de l'extrémité du levier tendeur 1 et venant s'appuyer à l'extrémité d'un levier auxiliaire 19 articulé autour d'un axe 20 à l'extrémité du levier tendeur 1 et présentant un prolongement 19a pour son actionnement par le doigt de l'utilisateur. Un ressort en cor de chasse 21 est monté autour de l'axe 18, ses extrémités s'appuyant respectivement sur le levier tendeur et sur le crochet 17, de manière à maintenir celui-ci appuyé contre l'extrémité du levier 19.In a recess of the tensioning lever 1 of width substantially equal to the distance separating the two arms of the tensioning lever, there is mounted a hook 17 articulated around an axis 18 and provided with an arm 17a extending towards the end of the tensioning lever 1 and coming to bear at the end of an auxiliary lever 19 articulated around an axis 20 at the end of the tensioning lever 1 and having an extension 19a for its actuation by the user's finger. A hunting horn spring 21 is mounted around the axis 18, its ends pressing respectively on the tensioning lever and on the hook 17, so as to keep the latter pressed against the end of the lever 19.

Dans la position fermée représentée aux figures 2 et 4, le crochet 17 est accroché à l'axe d'articulation 6 des bras 4 et 5. Pour ouvrir le dispositif, l'utilisateur soulève le levier tendeur par le bras 19a du levier auxiliaire, ce qui a pour effet de faire pivoter le crochet 17 et de le dégager de l'axe 6. L'utilisateur peut alors ouvrir le dispositif comme représenté à la figure 3. Dans cette position ouverte, la tige de l'organe de liaison est rabattue sur la chaussure grâce au'ressort 16. Lorsque l'utilisateur relâche le levier tendeur, l'extrémité du levier tendeur vient également s'appuyer sur la chaussure grâce au même ressort 16. Dans cette position, le dispositif, bien qu'en position ouverte, présente un encombrement réduit. Dans tous les cas, les bras 4 et 5 ne basculent pas vers l'extérieur de la chaussure (vers la droite si l'on considère la figure 3) et la tige 11, avec sa boucle 14, est également empêchée d'être projetée loin de la chaussure, mais reste au contraire appuyée contre la chaussure sans risquer de s'accrocher accidentellement et d'être endommagée.In the closed position shown in FIGS. 2 and 4, the hook 17 is hooked to the articulation axis 6 of the arms 4 and 5. To open the device, the user lifts the tensioning lever by the arm 19a of the auxiliary lever, which has the effect of pivoting the hook 17 and disengaging it from the axis 6. The user can then open the device as shown in FIG. 3. In this open position, the rod of the connecting member is folded back on the shoe thanks to the spring 16. When the user releases the tensioning lever, the end of the tensioning lever also comes to rest on the shoe thanks to the same spring 16. In this position, the device, although in open position, has a small footprint. In all cases, the arms 4 and 5 do not tilt towards the outside of the shoe (to the right if we consider FIG. 3) and the upper 11, with its loop 14, is also prevented from being thrown away from the shoe, but instead remains pressed against the shoe without the risk of accidentally catching and being damaged.

Pour fermer le dispositif, on accroche la boucle 14 au crochet 15 et l'on rabat le levier tendeur 1. Lors de ce rabattement, la rampe 17b du crochet 17 glisse sur l'axe 6 et le crochet 17 vient s'accrocher sous cet axe 6.To close the device, the loop 14 is hooked to the hook 15 and the tensioning lever 1 is folded down. this folding down, the ramp 17b of the hook 17 slides on the axis 6 and the hook 17 comes to hang under this axis 6.

Il ressort de la figure 4 que l'axe d'articulation 2 du levier tendeur 1 sur son support est situé au-dessus de la partie médiane 10 de la chaussure et que l'élément de liaison constitué par la tige 11 et la boucle 14 est maintenu relativement court, alors que cet élément de liaison serait beaucoup plus long si le levier tendeur était articulé autour de l'axe 6 comme c'est le cas des boucles de l'art antérieur. En outre, le verrouillage du levier tendeur est indépendant de l'inclinaison du support 7 relativement au levier tendeur. Le dispositif peut être dégagé complètement de la languette médiane 10 de la chaussure.It appears from FIG. 4 that the hinge pin 2 of the tensioning lever 1 on its support is located above the middle part 10 of the shoe and that the connecting element constituted by the upper 11 and the buckle 14 is kept relatively short, while this connecting element would be much longer if the tensioning lever was articulated around the axis 6 as is the case with the loops of the prior art. In addition, the locking of the tensioning lever is independent of the inclination of the support 7 relative to the tensioning lever. The device can be released completely from the central tongue 10 of the shoe.

Le dispositif peut faire l'objet de nombreuses variantes sans sortir du cadre de l'invention. Par exemple, le crochet 17 pourrait être coulissant au lieu d'être pivotant. Dans ce cas, il peut être dégagé par un poussoir ou par tout autre moyen, par exemple deux pièces mobiles montées de chaque côté du levier tendeur et reliées à une barrette solidaire du crochet. Le levier tendeur et les bras d'articulation pourraient être réalisés différemment. Par exemple, les bras pourraient être articulés à l'intérieur du levier tendeur et non à l'extérieur.The device can be the subject of numerous variants without departing from the scope of the invention. For example, the hook 17 could be sliding instead of being pivoting. In this case, it can be released by a pusher or by any other means, for example two moving parts mounted on each side of the tensioning lever and connected to a bar secured to the hook. The tensioning lever and the articulation arms could be made differently. For example, the arms could be articulated inside the tensioning lever and not outside.

Selon une autre forme d'exécution, le crochet 17 pourrait être pivoté sur le support 7, par exemple autour de l'axe 6, et venir s'accrocher dans le levier tendeur 1. Le dégagement d'un tel crochet pourrait se faire de la même manière que représenté à la figure 2. Dans cette variante d'exécution, comme dans l'exécution représentée, l'axe 6 est utilisé simultanément pour l'articulation des bras et pour le verrouillage.According to another embodiment, the hook 17 could be pivoted on the support 7, for example around the axis 6, and come to hang in the tensioning lever 1. The release of such a hook could be done by the same way as shown in Figure 2. In this alternative embodiment, as in the illustrated embodiment, the axis 6 is used simultaneously for the articulation of the arms and for locking.
