Description

La présente invention se rapporte à un dispositif destiné à la fixation d'une chaussure sur un ski de fond, ce ski de fond étant du type présentant dans sa zone située sous la chaussure du skieur, une nervure longitudinale limitée par une face supérieure et par deux faces latérales inclinées qui raccordent cette face supérieure à deux chants de hauteur réduite.The present invention relates to a device intended for attaching a shoe to a cross-country ski, this cross-country ski being of the type having in its zone located under the skier's shoe, a longitudinal rib limited by an upper face and by two inclined side faces which connect this upper face to two edges of reduced height.

Dans le document EP-A- O 167 462, la demanderesse a décrit notamment un dispositif de fixation avec chaussure adaptée destinés à un ski de fond du type défini ci-dessus. Selon ce document, un tel dispositif comporte un étrier, porté par le ski de fond, dont les deux branches s'étendent de part et d'autre de la nervure longitudinale du ski et sont réunies par une traverse située au-dessus de la nervure. Ces deux branches sont articulées sur le ski autour d'un axe transversal traversant la nervure, et la partie de l'étrier située au-dessus de la nervure est conformée pour l'emboîtement d'une partie complémentaire, ou nez, formé à l'avant de la chaussure. De façon à assurer l'immobilisation de l'avant de la chaussure sur l'étrier, celui-ci supporte des moyens de verrouillage.In document EP-A-0 167 462, the applicant has described in particular a binding device with suitable boot intended for cross-country skiing of the type defined above. According to this document, such a device comprises a stirrup, carried by the cross-country ski, the two branches of which extend on either side of the longitudinal rib of the ski and are joined by a crosspiece located above the rib . These two branches are articulated on the ski around a transverse axis crossing the rib, and the part of the stirrup located above the rib is shaped for the interlocking of a complementary part, or nose, formed at the front of the shoe. In order to ensure the immobilization of the front of the shoe on the stirrup, the latter supports locking means.

Les moyens de verrouillage servant à l'immobilisation de l'avant de la chaussure sur l'étrier pivotant sont, dans ce document, constitués par un levier à genouillère, articulé sur l'étrier par un élément intermédiaire autour d'un axe parrallèle à l'axe de pivotement de cet étrier, et comportant une partie apte à être appuyée fortement sur le moyen d'assemblage en forme de queue d'aronde formé à l'avant de la chaussure.The locking means used to immobilize the front of the shoe on the pivoting stirrup are, in this document, constituted by a toggle lever, articulated on the stirrup by an intermediate element around an axis parallel to the pivot axis of this stirrup, and comprising a part capable of being pressed strongly on the assembly means in the form of a dovetail formed at the front of the shoe.

A l'usage, il s'est avéré que le dispositif décrit ci-dessus présen­tait un système de blocage associé relativement peu pratique à mettre en oeuvre.In use, it has been found that the device described above has an associated blocking system which is relatively impractical to implement.

La présente invention a pour but de perfectionner ce genre de dispositif en fournissant des moyens de verrouillage de maniement plus aisé. Pour cela, l'étrier est équipé de deux moyens complémentaires :
- l'un destiné, après engagement du nez de la chaussure, à soulever ce nez de manière à bien l'engager dans l'étrier,
- l'autre pour maintenir fixement le nez de la chaussure et l'étrier dans leur position relative de coopération.The present invention aims to improve this type of device by providing easier handling locking means. For this, the caliper is equipped with two complementary means:
one intended, after engagement of the nose of the shoe, to lift this nose so as to properly engage it in the stirrup,
- the other to fix the nose of the shoe and the stirrup in their relative position of cooperation.

Selon une forme préférentielle de réalisation, ce dispositif com­porte un levier qui forme un étrier extérieur au premier étrier. Cet étrier extérieur est articulé sur l'étrier intérieur, et il porte une traverse ou barre excentrée par rapport à leur axe d'articulation et passant à travers au moins une lumière en arc de cercle percée dans l'étrier intérieur et concentrique à cet axe d'articulation, de telle sorte que, lorsque l'on ferme la fixation, la partie complémentaire, ou nez, formé à l'avant de la chaussure se trouve pincé entre la traverse mobile de l'étrier extérieur et la traverse fixe de l'étrier intérieur, des moyens étant prévus pour maintenir les deux étriers de la fixation en position de verrouillage.According to a preferred embodiment, this device comprises a lever which forms a stirrup outside the first stirrup. This stirrup exterior is articulated on the interior stirrup, and it carries a cross member or bar eccentric with respect to their axis of articulation and passing through at least one light in an arc of a circle pierced in the interior stirrup and concentric with this axis of articulation, so that, when the binding is closed, the complementary part, or nose, formed at the front of the shoe is pinched between the movable cross member of the external stirrup and the fixed cross member of the stirrup inside, means being provided to maintain the two stirrups of the fixing in the locked position.

Préférentiellement, la traverse mobile est montée sur l'étrier extérieur par l'intermédiaire de tampons élastiques.Preferably, the movable cross member is mounted on the external bracket by means of elastic buffers.

Préférentiellement encore, les bases de chacune des branches de l'étrier intérieur sont réunies par une traverse décalée en direction de la chaussure et profilée de manière à épouser étroitement le contour de la nervure longitudinale du ski sur laquelle elle vient reposer, et à être épousée par la rainure de la semelle de la chaussure.Also preferably, the bases of each of the branches of the inner stirrup are joined by a crossmember offset in the direction of the boot and profiled so as to closely match the contour of the longitudinal rib of the ski on which it comes to rest, and to be married by the groove in the sole of the shoe.

Avantageusement, les moyens pour maintenir les deux étriers en position de fermeture de la fixation comportent une palette d'encliquetage à bascule associée à un dispositif de rappel élastique de cette palette en position d'encliquetage.Advantageously, the means for holding the two stirrups in the closed position of the fastening comprise a rocking latching pallet associated with an elastic return device for this pallet in the latching position.

L'invention sera bien comprise, et tous ses avantages et caracté­ristiques ressortiront, au cours de la description suivante d'un exemple non limitatif de réalisation, en référence aux dessins annexés dans lesquels :

  • Figure 1 est une vue en perspective du dispositif de l'invention ;
  • Figure 2 est une vue latérale en coupe partielle montrant l'en­gagement de la chaussure dans la fixation, avant fermeture de cette fixation ;
  • Figure 3 est de même une vue latérale montrant la chaussure en position sur le ski après blocage de cette fixation.
The invention will be clearly understood, and all of its advantages and characteristics will emerge during the following description of a nonlimiting exemplary embodiment, with reference to the appended drawings in which:
  • Figure 1 is a perspective view of the device of the invention;
  • Figure 2 is a side view in partial section showing the engagement of the shoe in the binding, before closing this binding;
  • Figure 3 is also a side view showing the boot in position on the ski after locking of this binding.

En se reportant aux figures 1 et 2, on reconnaît un ski de fond 1, avec nervure longitudinale de section trapézoïdale traversée par un axe transversal 6 qui sert d'articulation du dispositif de fixation 7 de la chaussure 2. Ce dispositif 7 comporte un étrier 8 à section en forme de U renversé, avec deux branches latérales 9 et 10 et une branche transversale ou traverse 11 assez haute pour que la partie complémentaire, ou nez 3, formé à l'avant de la chaussure 2 puisse s'engager librement sous cette traverse 11.Referring to Figures 1 and 2, we recognize a cross-country ski 1, with a longitudinal rib of trapezoidal section crossed by a transverse axis 6 which serves as an articulation of the fastening device 7 of the boot 2. This device 7 includes a stirrup 8 with an inverted U-shaped section, with two lateral branches 9 and 10 and a transverse branch or cross member 11 high enough so that the complementary part, or nose 3, formed at the front of the shoe 2 can engage freely under this cross 11.

Cette traverse 11 présente, sur une grande partie de la largeur, d'une part une rainure transversale supérieure 120, et d'autre part une rainure transversale inférieure 121. Les branches latérales 9 et 10 sont percées chacune à leur partie inférieure d'une lumière 13 en arc de cercle concentrique à un pivot servant d'axe d'articulation à un levier, ou étrier extérieur 15, qui a lui aussi une forme de U renversé et emprisonne les branches latérales de l'étrier intérieur 8.This cross member 11 has, over a large part of the width, on the one hand an upper transverse groove 120, and on the other hand a lower transverse groove 121. The lateral branches 9 and 10 are each pierced at their lower part with a lumen 13 in an arc of a circle concentric with a pivot serving as hinge pin to a lever, or external stirrup 15, which also has an inverted U shape and traps the lateral branches of the internal stirrup 8.

Une barre ou traverse mobile 16 est portée par l'étrier extérieur 15 de manière à pouvoir se mouvoir dans les arcs de cercle formés par les lumières 13. Cette traverse mobile 16 est montée sur le levier 15 par l'intermédiaire de deux tampons élastiques 27. Dans la position représentée sur la figure 1, l'étrier extérieur 15 est en position basse, et par suite la traverse mobile 16 est dans sa position qui est à la fois la plus basse et la plus reculée. En soulevant manuellement l'étrier extérieur 15 vers le haut, on le fait tourner autour des pivots 14, et la traverse mobile 16 se déplace dans les lumières 13, en avançant et en montant à la fois, ce qui a pour effet de compriner les tampons élastiques 27 quand la traverse mobile 16 s'appuie sous le nez de la chaussure. Ce nez 3 est muni d'une nervure transversale supérieure 4 ainsi que d'une nervure transversale inférieure 5.A movable bar or cross member 16 is carried by the external bracket 15 so as to be able to move in the arcs of a circle formed by the slots 13. This movable cross member 16 is mounted on the lever 15 by means of two elastic buffers 27 In the position shown in Figure 1, the outer bracket 15 is in the lower position, and therefore the movable cross member 16 is in its position which is both the lowest and the most remote. By manually lifting the outer stirrup 15 upwards, it is rotated around the pivots 14, and the movable cross member 16 moves in the slots 13, advancing and ascending at the same time, which has the effect of compressing the elastic pads 27 when the movable cross member 16 rests under the nose of the shoe. This nose 3 is provided with an upper transverse rib 4 as well as with a lower transverse rib 5.

Une palette à bascule 20 est articulée autour d'un axe transversal 21 sur la branche transversale supérieure 22 du levier 15. Cette palette comporte un levier d'appui 23 et un taquet coinceur 24, passant à travers une lumière 25 de la traverse 22 et apte à venir s'enficher dans la rainure 120 de l'étrier. La palette 20 est maintenue en position de fermeture par un tampon en caoutchouc 26, ou autre dispositif élastique de rappel.A rocker pallet 20 is articulated around a transverse axis 21 on the upper transverse branch 22 of the lever 15. This pallet comprises a support lever 23 and a cleat cleat 24, passing through a lumen 25 of the crosspiece 22 and able to be inserted in the groove 120 of the stirrup. The pallet 20 is held in the closed position by a rubber pad 26, or other elastic return device.

Les deux bases 18 de chacune des deux branches 9,10 de l'étrier intérieur 8, traversées par les deux extrémités de l'axe 6, sont réunies par une traverse 19, décalée par rapport à l'étrier intérieur 8 en direction de la chaussure. La traverse 19 est de faible épaisseur, et elle est profilée pour épouser étroitement le contour de la nervure longitudinale 1 du ski sur laquelle elle repose. Par sa faible épaisseur, elle épouse également la forme de la rainure inférieure de la chaussure 2, et n'introduit donc aucune gêne.The two bases 18 of each of the two branches 9, 10 of the internal stirrup 8, crossed by the two ends of the axis 6, are joined by a cross-member 19, offset with respect to the internal stirrup 8 in the direction of the shoe. The cross member 19 is thin, and it is profiled to closely match the contour of the longitudinal rib 1 of the ski on which it rests. By its small thickness, it also follows the shape of the lower groove of the shoe 2, and therefore does not introduce any discomfort.

Grâce à la traverse 19, l'étrier 8 est très rigide et le berceau ainsi réalisé renforce l'idée d'associer à la fois la nervure 1 du ski, la rainure de la semelle de la chaussure 2, et la fixation 7 intégrée au ski suivant un axe de rotation 6 situé dans la nervure du ski.Thanks to the crosspiece 19, the stirrup 8 is very rigid and the cradle thus produced reinforces the idea of associating both the rib 1 of the ski, the groove of the sole of the boot 2, and the binding 7 integrated into the ski along an axis of rotation 6 located in the rib of the ski.

Sur la figure 2 est schématisée la première étape de mise en oeuvre de ce dispositif. Le skieur positionne sa chaussure 2 à cheval sur le ski 1 de manière à ce que le nez 3 de cette chaussure vienne grossièrement s'encastrer dans l'étrier 8. Dans cette position, la nervure inférieure 5 du nez 3 est en aval de l'axe transversal 16, le levier 15 étant bien entendu supposé être en position basse comme représenté ; la nervure supérieure 4 du nez 3 est située sous la rainure 121 de forme complémentaire aménagée dans la branche transversale 11 de l'étrier.In Figure 2 is shown schematically the first step of implementation of this device. The skier positions his shoe 2 astride the ski 1 so that the nose 3 of this boot coarsely fits into the stirrup 8. In this position, the lower rib 5 of the nose 3 is downstream of the transverse axis 16, the lever 15 being indeed heard assumed to be in the low position as shown; the upper rib 4 of the nose 3 is located under the groove 121 of complementary shape arranged in the transverse branch 11 of the stirrup.

En se reportant maintenant à la figure 3, on réalise le blocage de la fixation 7 en relevant vers le haut l'étrier extérieur 15. Ceci entraîne le relevage de la traverse mobile 16, guidée dans les lumières 13. Dans son mouvement circulaire ascendant, la traverse mobile 16 se cale derrière la nervure 5 du nez 3 et par suite sous la partie avant protubérante 3 de la chaussure 2, et soulève cette partie 3 de manière à ce que sa nervure supérieure 4 vienne s'encastrer étroitement dans la lumière 121 de la traverse 11 de l'étrier. Le nez 3 de la chaussure 2 est alors pincé entre la traverse mobile 16 de l'étrier extérieur 15 et la traverse fixe 11 de l'étrier intérieur 8. En fin de course, le levier 23 de la palette 20, s'enclenche élastiquement par son taquet 24 dans la rainure 120 de l'étrier 8 ; ainsi est réalisé le blocage de la fixation 7.Referring now to FIG. 3, the fixing 7 is blocked by raising the external stirrup 15 upwards. This results in the lifting of the movable cross member 16, guided in the slots 13. In its upward circular movement, the movable cross member 16 is wedged behind the rib 5 of the nose 3 and consequently under the protruding front part 3 of the shoe 2, and raises this part 3 so that its upper rib 4 comes to be fitted tightly into the lumen 121 of the cross member 11 of the stirrup. The nose 3 of the shoe 2 is then pinched between the movable cross member 16 of the outer stirrup 15 and the fixed cross member 11 of the inner stirrup 8. At the end of the race, the lever 23 of the pallet 20, engages elastically by its cleat 24 in the groove 120 of the stirrup 8; thus the blocking of the fixing 7 is achieved.

Pour débloquer ultérieurement la fixation, il suffit d'appuyer sur l'extrémité arrière du levier 23 pour dégager son taquet 24 hors de l'étrier, et simultanément de faire basculer le levier 15 vers l'avant.To subsequently unlock the binding, it suffices to press the rear end of the lever 23 to release its cleat 24 from the stirrup, and simultaneously to tilt the lever 15 forwards.
