Definitions

  • the invention relates to an adjustable sole for sliding sports and more particularly for snowboarding.
  • the fixing soles for snowboard adjustable to the size of the shoe and orientable relative to the longitudinal axis of the surf have been known for a few years and commonly used. These soles are designed either for a flexible shoe; in this case, they consist of a plastic shell, either for ski or trekking boots and then generally consist of a metal plate comprising front and rear stirrups allowing manual fitting but preventing any automatic release releasing the shoes in the event of a dangerous fall to the surfer's legs. It should be noted that these soles, as a whole, require a simple tool, a screwdriver or a key to carry out the adjustment of size and angulation, which can prove to be a handicap if one does not have this material to adjust or modify an inappropriate setting.
  • a safety fastening device described in patent application 89 04728 of the applicant requires fixing soles, on the snowboard, allowing on the one hand, the essential adjustments taking into account the size, the morphology and the technical level of the surfer, and on the other hand the rapid disassembly of the safety fixing device in order to facilitate the transport of the surf by reducing the size.
  • the object of the invention is to provide practical solutions to the problems thus posed.
  • Each plate has a manually actuated pin, the role of which is to cooperate closely with oblong perforations made in the plate transversely and on its longitudinal axis, so as to be able to immobilize each plate and its slide on the plate, as close as possible from the determined location corresponding to good positioning of the shoe.
  • Each bolt is designed to move up and down when locking and up and down when unlocking, and is held in place by elastic means in each of the two positions.
  • the means for immobilizing the plates on the plate offers, in addition to the advantage of fine and rapid adjustment, that of very high security. Indeed, as will be shown more precisely in advance, neither of the two bolts can be unlocked when the shoe is fixed on the sole according to the invention, because they are pressed in the low position, one by the heel and the other by the sole.
  • a fixing base can be, depending on the technical level and the morphology of the surfer, adjustable in orientation relative to the longitudinal axis of the surf and it is also necessary to take into account that a majority of surfers are right-handed, but that however, left-handers remain numerous.
  • the elongated plate is crossed, substantially in its geometric center, by a fairly large diameter screw, forming a pivot, which collaborates with a slide which can be positioned at different places of a slide secured to the surf, parallel to its longitudinal axis and thereon.
  • Figure 1 shows the assembly of an adjustable fixing sole for sliding sports according to the invention.
  • This sole comprises a plate 1, of elongated shape, substantially parallelepiped having its lateral edges parallel to the longitudinal axis and a profile capable of receiving, by its ends, two substantially identical sliders 2, coming to grip the lateral edges of the plate 1, so as to be able to slide on said plate in the longitudinal direction.
  • On the flat face and on the top of each slide 2 is firmly fixed a plate intended to support the shoe.
  • a plate 5 is fixed on the top of the second slide 2, of a shape suitable for receiving on the rear, on the one hand, a horizontal arch 15 supporting a targette 7, identical to the first, and on the other front hand, a rod 6 cooperating with an elastic ring 14, constituting the end of the front fixing bracket.
  • numerous perforations 8 formed perpendicular to this axis, and parallel to each other, can cooperate with the bolts 7 in order to allow adjustable positioning of the plates 3 and 5, so as to precisely adapt the rear heel piece and the stirrup before they support, to the size of the shoe to be maintained.
  • this plate 1 which it is possible to fix directly on the surf, can be equipped, quite advantageously, with a means allowing its adjustment in orientation relative to the longitudinal axis of the surf, at the same time as its longitudinal positioning.
  • the distance between the front foot and the rear foot is variable according to its size. A small surfer will have feet closer together than a large surfer; it is also very important, if the surf is intended to be used by different surfers, that the spacing between the feet can be adjustable. Then, it turns out that right-handed surfers place their right foot on the back of the board, while left-handers place their left foot there; which results in a significant change in the orientation of the fixing soles.
  • the practice of this sport shows that the orientations of the rear foot and the front foot relative to the longitudinal axis of the surf must be different, but that they evolve according to the technical level of the surfer and the type of descent performed.
  • a screw 10 forming a pivot passes through the plate 1, at its geometric center, to cooperate with a slide 11 which can move, when the screw 10 is sufficiently loosened, in the slide 9 which is fixed parallel to and on the longitudinal axis, using screws passing through the multiple perforations 19.
  • Perforations 18, formed on the longitudinal axis of the slide 9, at regular intervals, can each accommodate the end of the pivot screw 10 and position longitudinally and in a robust manner, on the surf, the fixing sole according to the invention.
  • a friction means, described further on, placed between the plate 1 and the slide 11 ensures a blocking, in orientation, of the plate, after the pivot screw 10 has been tightened. The latter thus performs a double function: that of positioning the adjustable sole at first on the slide 9 and that in a second phase, after taking care of positioning the plate 1 in orientation, of ensuring its blocking by appropriate tightening .
  • wedging pads 12 integral with the ends of the plate 1 and bearing on the surf contribute to the rigidity of the fixing of the adjustable sole on the surf while reducing the mechanical stresses in the environment of the pivot screw 10 .
  • FIG. 2 shows, in longitudinal section, the assembly of the fixing plate according to the invention, where the locking means, in the position and at the location of the plate 1 on the slide 9, are clearly represented.
  • the pivot screw 10, constituting the sole means of assembling the plate 1 on the slide 9, passes through said plate through a cylindrical orifice 23 arranged, substantially at the geometrical center thereof, to cooperate with a threaded cylindrical bush 25, fixed substantially at the center of the slide 11, and the upper part of which is partly engaged in the orifice 23.
  • a washer 24, of fan type or similar, of fairly large dimensions cooperates with notches arranged on the underside of the plate 1 and on the top of the slide 11, in such a way that when the pivot screw 10 is tightened, the fins of the washer 24, embedded in said notches prohibit any relative movement between the plate 1 and the slide 11.
  • a slight loosening of the pivot screw 10 is sufficient to release them in rotation, to modify their relative positioning.
  • the spacing of the notches and the number of fins of the washer 24 determine the number of desired positions; the more they are numerous and the more the adjustment, ie the minimum angle between two positions will be fine.
  • the slide 11, which moves between the parallel edges and folded upwards of the slide 9 can, according to another variant, have its lateral and parallel edges folded downwards, so as to cooperate with a rail fixed to the surf, in a similar manner to the slide 9, by screws passing through the perforations 18.
  • This rail will also, like the slide 9, on its longitudinal axis, perforations 19 suitable for receiving the end of the pivot screw 10 ensuring the longitudinal adjustment of the sole on the surf.
  • a targette comprising a cap 7, of a shape suitable for being used as a pusher and a vertical zipper, which partially covers it, and whose flat part 7a cooperates respectively, on the one hand with the arches 15 and 17 of the plates 5 and 3 and on the other hand, with the perforations 8 made in the slides 2 and the perforations 8 made in the plate 1.
  • the flat 7a of the front plate 5 is engaged, in the locked position, in one of the perforations 8, that the top of the cap 7 of the targette is flush with the top of the plate 5 and that the arch 15 is at the top of the oblong opening of the targette .
  • each bolt 7 corresponds to an unlocked position, position in which the plates 3 and 5 are immobilized on the plate 1, at the chosen location relating to the size of the shoe to be maintained. It will be noted that the arches 15 and 17 are rigidly fixed on their respective plate.
  • the bent rod of the stirrup 6 cooperates with an elastic stud 14, of oblong shape, and in a recess arranged in said plate, so that the stirrup rod 6 can move forward and in the longitudinal axis of the plate 1, and benefit from the elastic return of the stud 14 towards the rear.
  • FIG. 3 shows a slide 11, suitable for moving in a slide 9, not shown, collaborating with its parallel lateral edges 28, equipped, substantially at the geometric center of its upper face, with a washer 24, of the so-called fan type, with overlapping external toothing centered on a threaded fixing sleeve 25 which projects so as to cooperate with the orifice 23 (fig.2) of the plate 1 to ensure proper centering of the latter on the slide 11.
  • the washer 24 constitutes a means of immobilizing, in rotation, the plate 1 on the slide 11 after tightening of the pivot screw 10 (fig.1). Any sliding being to be avoided, notches 29 in which take place the leading edges of the fins 27 constituting the overlapping toothing of the washer 24 are formed on the upper face of the slide 11 and on the lower face of the plate 1 (fig .2).
  • the number of notches 29 made on the plate 1 and on the slide 11 may be a multiple of the number of fins 27, so as to allow finer angular adjustment than with an equal number of notches and fins.
  • the washer 24, which has an outer diameter slightly less than the width of the plate 1, and an inner diameter slightly greater than the sleeve 25, may alternatively receive in addition to its overlapping outer toothing, lying for example at right one overlapping toothing lying on the left, or vice versa, so as to reinforce its immobilizing capacity.
  • This washer 24 will preferably be made of high-strength steel.
  • FIG. 4 finally shows an exploded view of the blocking pin in which the cap 7 receives in a recess 30, formed at its base and on its lateral flanks, on the one hand, the flat 7a, formed in a vertically elongated P, and on the other hand, the arch 17 which crosses it transversely and horizontally.
  • the flat 7a constituting the essential element of the bolt can, as has already been seen, move vertically on the hoop 17 which debates inside the housing 34 by supporting it and limiting its vertical stroke.
  • An orifice 33 placed on the rear face of the flat 7a, cooperating with a lug arranged inside the cap 7, ensures the fixing of the flat and the cap, after the latter has been put in place.
  • the lateral slots of the recess 30 leaving passage to the arch 17, are provided, on the front, with a slightly projecting part 31 placed at mid-height and giving each slot, at this location, a width less than the diameter of the arch 17. It results from this arrangement, that by using the elastic effect of the cap 7, a slight blocking of the bolt in the high or low position is obtained, constituting a security in the low position and a convenience in the adjustment. and disassembly in the high position.
  • a projecting part 32 provided with fine transverse grooves, is arranged on the front of the cap 7 of each bolt in order to facilitate manual lifting.
