Definitions
- the invention relates to a front ski binding element, which is intended to retain the end of a boot bearing on a ski, and to release this end when it exerts excessive stress on the binding element.
- the front ski binding elements which are currently known usually comprise a base which is intended to be secured to the ski, a body which is carried by this base, in which is generally housed an elastic return mechanism.
- the body itself carries a retaining member, which, most often, consists of a vertical stop or sole clamp which retains the end of the shoe vertically, and two lateral wings which retain the end of the shoe laterally. The stresses on the shoe are transmitted to the elastic return device via the retaining member.
- the invention relates more particularly to those which have a body movable vertically, but not laterally, the body being connected to the base in the front part of the binding.
- Such a fixing is for example known, from the French patent application published under No. 2,640,516.
- This fixing has a body movable vertically relative to the base, against the restoring force of an elastic device which is housed inside the body.
- An elastically deformable zone located in the front part of the fixing element, continuously connects the body to the base.
- the wings are articulated relative to the body, and they are movable laterally against the force of (call of an energy spring.
- the means which ensure the vertical return of the body include a vertical rod, which is connected to an articulated rocker.
- the rocker itself has a branch which is in abutment against a piston.
- the energy spring is stressed by the vertical elevation of the body, or by the lateral opening of the wings
- the body is therefore movable vertically in response to a vertical stress on the shoe, against the return force of the spring which is transmitted to it by the rocker and the rod.
- the elevation of the body allows either an automatic adaptation of the fastening element to the thickness of the sole, or allows to facilitate the release of the boot in the event of a fall towards the rear of the skier.
- Another object of the invention is to add an elastic means for vertical return of the body which is easily integrated into the fixing element, that is to say a means whose nature and size allow it to 'exercise the desired function, that is to say the recall of the body, without disturbing the operation of the fastener and without requiring significant transformations of the element.
- One of the aims of the present invention is to provide a fastening element of this type, in which the elastic return of the body, in a vertical direction, is ensured by a device which is simpler and therefore more economical to manufacture.
- the front ski binding element comprises a base by which the element is assembled to the ski. It also comprises a body movable relative to the base, parallel to the vertical and longitudinal median plane of the ski.
- the body carries a member for retaining the end of the shoe, which is constituted by a sole clamp connected integrally to the body for vertical movement, and two lateral wings movable relative to the body against the restoring force d '' an energy device that is housed in the body or base.
- the body and the base are connected to each other in their anterior parts, so as to allow the body to tilt parallel to the vertical and longitudinal median plane of the ski, in response to a vertical stress on the boot on the clamp. -sole.
- an elastic return means independent of the elastic return device which recalls the wings, connects the rear part of the body to the base, and elastically recalls the rear part of the body in the direction of the base.
- Figure 1 shows a side view, and in section of a fixing element before, according to a non-limiting implementation of the invention.
- FIG. 2 is a sectional view II-II of the device shown in FIG. 1.
- FIG. 3 is a sectional view through a plane III-III of the device of FIG. 1.
- Figure 4 shows in perspective an elastic return means of the body towards the base, according to a non-limiting mode of implementation of the invention.
- Figure 4a corresponds to an alternative embodiment of this elastic return means.
- FIG. 5 is an alternative embodiment of the device of FIG. 4.
- FIG. 6 illustrates an alternative embodiment of the fixing element shown in FIG. 1.
- Figure 7 illustrates another alternative embodiment of the elastic return means of the body.
- FIG. 8 shows in perspective the elastic return means of the device shown in FIG. 7.
- FIGS 1 to 3 show a fastening element 1 which is assembled on a ski 2.
- the fastening element 1 shown has many characteristics similar to those which have already been described in French patent application No. 2 640 516 au name of the applicant.
- the fixing element 1 has a base 3 by which the fixing element is assembled to the ski by any suitable means, and for example by screws 4.
- the base 3 is extended towards the rear by a plate d 'support 5 on which the front end of the boot rests when skiing. Seen from above, the base 3 has a U shape open towards the rear, which creates a recess 6 in its central part.
- the fastening element 1 also comprises a body 8, which is connected to the base 3 by an elastically deformable zone 10.
- This zone 10 continuously connects the body 8 and the base 3, so so that these three elements in fact form only one single piece. In the adopted representation, this zone is located in the front part of the fixing element.
- a pot 11 In the lower part of the body is a pot 11, preferably provided with a peripheral lining 12.
- the stud 11 extends vertically in the direction of the base, where it is engaged between the two lateral legs of the U. Laterally , the pot has a dimension which corresponds substantially to the width of the recess 6. The pot 11 guides the body 8 relative to the base 3 during its vertical movements.
- the elastically deformable zone 10, in cooperation with the stud 11, allows the body 8 to tilt, parallel to the vertical and longitudinal median plane of the ski, that is to say the plane of FIG. 1.
- this mode of connection between the body and the base is not limiting, any other suitable means could indeed be appropriate, in particular an articulation by means of a transverse axis located between the body and the base, or the cooperation of shapes in protrusion and relief of the body and the base, which create an axis of rotation of the body relative to the base.
- a fastening element of this type is for example described in French patent application No. 2,642,656 in the name of the applicant.
- the body 8 In its rear part, the body 8 carries a retaining member 15.
- the retaining member is intended to retain the end of the boot bearing on the ski, and therefore, to oppose, the stresses of the boot which have a vertical upward, lateral, or longitudinal forward direction.
- the retaining member 15 comprises in particular a sole clamp 16, which provides the front toe of the shoe with a horizontal bearing surface ensuring the vertical retention of the latter.
- the sole clamp 16 is an insert, which is assembled to the body by the cooperation of corresponding shapes and by a pin shown diagrammatically at 17.
- the retaining member 15 further comprises two lateral retaining wings 20 and 21, which are articulated relative to the body about an approximately vertical axis 22 and 23.
- the wings have, beyond the axes 22 and 23 , a small arm the end of which is supported on a piston 25, this piston being guided inside the body 8 for movement in a longitudinal direction.
- the movement of the piston 25, which takes place during the stress upon opening one of the wings, takes place against the elastic return force of a spring 26.
- the preload of the spring can be adjusted in a known manner by means of a screw 27.
- an elastic return means connects the rear part of the body to the base, to elastically oppose such movements.
- This elastic return means is independent of the energy means which ensures the elastic return of the lateral wings 20 and 21, that is to say, the spring 26.
- the vertical elastic return means of the body is a coil spring 30, which is more easily visible in Figure 4.
- the coil spring 30 is housed partly in the recess 6 of the base 3, and partly in a recess of the body located behind the pot 11.
- the spring has two symmetrical lateral windings 31 and 32, which are interconnected by a horizontal and raised central part 33 which, preferably, is offset substantially backwards relative to the windings 31 and 32
- This central part 33 is intended to fit into the lower part of a downward extension 34 of the sole clamp 16, which has the shape of a hook 36.
- this central part 33 is connected to the body by the intermediate of the sole clamp 16 for all vertical movements, in particular those upwards.
- the dimensions in section of the extension 34 are provided to support at least the maximum restoring force developed by the spring 30.
- the free ends of the spring 30 are also provided with means for hooking to the base. These means are shown in the form of an end bent laterally outward 37, 38. The ends 37 and 38 are engaged in housings 39, 40 that the base has in its two lateral branches to receive these ends.
- the base 3 ensures the resumption of the return efforts of the springs that the vertical movements of the body 8 generate.
- Figure 4a shows an end 37a which is extended by a bent segment extending longitudinally rearward.
- the housings of the base then have a corresponding shape to receive these doubly bent ends. This distributes over a greater length of the base the forces that the ends of the spring 30 transmit to the base.
- the return energy of the spring is developed not only by the deformation of the turns, but also by the twisting of the ends 37a.
- the number of turns of each winding 31 and 32 is not limiting. It is about one and a half turns in the example shown.
- FIG. 5 shows an alternative embodiment, according to which the spring 40 works in reverse, that is to say in the winding.
- This spring has windings 41 and 42 in opposite directions to the windings 31 and 32. It also has a central part 43 and free ends 47 and 48 similar to the elements 33, 37 and 38 of the spring 30.
- FIG. 6 presents another variant according to which the spring 50 has windings the direction of which is similar to that of the spring 30.
- the central part 53 is largely offset upwards relative to the windings, in order to catch on the body , in the upper part thereof, in a housing 54 which is located approximately at the height of the horizontal surface of the sole clamp.
- the boot subjects the front binding element to stresses, in particular to vertical stresses upwards. These stresses are transmitted to the body 8, via the sole clamp, and cause the upward tilting of the body around the elastically deformable zone 10, both against the elastic restoring force, or the elastic restoring moment which is generated by this area, and the elastic restoring force which is developed by the spring 30, 40 or 50. It should also be emphasized that this latter elastic return force is independent of the energy spring 26, and therefore of the adjustment of the spring 26 for the lateral opening movement of the wings.
- FIG. 7 represents an alternative embodiment of the invention according to which the elastic return means of the body is a spring 60 which works mainly with torsion.
- the spring 70 is visible in perspective in FIG. 8. It has a horizontal and raised central part 63 which is housed in the hook-shaped lower part 66 of an attached element identical to the sole clamp 16 of FIG. 1.
- the spring 60 On each side of the central part 63, the spring 60 has a doubly bent part 61, 62, the two parts being symmetrical with respect to each other.
- Each doubly bent portion 61, 62 has a longitudinal segment 61a, 62a, a torsion segment 61b, 92b oriented transversely and a longitudinal end segment 61c, 62c.
- the end segments 61c, 62c and part of the torsion segments 61b, 62b are embedded in housings 64 and 65 of the two lateral branches of the base 67.
- the spring 60 thus connects the body via the hook 66, to the base 3 via the housings 64 and 65.
- the vertical movements of the body mainly stress the spring 60 to torsion at the level of the transverse torsion segments 61b and 62b.
- the spring 60 ensures the elastic return of the body in the direction of the base, and the return force that it develops is independent of the return force of the energy spring which recalls the wings.
- the spring 26 and the piston 25 could be placed and guided in a housing of the base, instead of a housing of the body.
- the sole clamp could be constituted by the upper part of the retaining wings.
- the wings being articulated relative to the body about approximately vertical axes, they transmit directly to the body the vertical forces to which the shoe subjects them.
- the spring could be replaced by another elastic return means, for example a damping device.
Abstract
Description
L'invention concerne un élément avant de fixation de ski, qui est destinée à retenir l'extrémité d'une chaussure en appui sur un ski, et à libérer cette extrémité lorsqu'elle exerce sur l'élément de fixation une sollicitation excessive.The invention relates to a front ski binding element, which is intended to retain the end of a boot bearing on a ski, and to release this end when it exerts excessive stress on the binding element.
Les éléments avant de fixation de ski qui sont actuellement connus comprennent, habituellement, une embase qui est destinée à être solidarisée au ski, un corps qui est porté par cette embase, dans lequel est logé généralement un mécanisme de rappel élastique. Le corps porte luimême un organe de retenue, qui, le plus souvent, est constitué par une butée verticale ou serre-semelle qui retient l'extrémité de chaussure verticalement, et deux ailes latérales qui retiennent l'extrémité de chaussure latéralement. Les sollicitations de la chaussure sont transmises au dispositif de rappel élastique par l'intermédiaire de l'organe de retenue.The front ski binding elements which are currently known usually comprise a base which is intended to be secured to the ski, a body which is carried by this base, in which is generally housed an elastic return mechanism. The body itself carries a retaining member, which, most often, consists of a vertical stop or sole clamp which retains the end of the shoe vertically, and two lateral wings which retain the end of the shoe laterally. The stresses on the shoe are transmitted to the elastic return device via the retaining member.
Parmi les éléments de fixation actuellement connus, l'invention concerne plus particulièrement ceux qui présentent un corps mobile verticalement, mais pas latéralement, le corps étant relié à l'embase dans la partie avant de la fixation.Among the currently known fixing elements, the invention relates more particularly to those which have a body movable vertically, but not laterally, the body being connected to the base in the front part of the binding.
Une telle fixation est par exemple connue, d'après la demande de brevet français publiée sous le n° 2 640 516. Cette fixation présente un corps mobile verticalement par rapport à l'embase, contre la force de rappel d'un dispositif élastique qui est logé à l'intérieur du corps. Une zone élastiquement déformable, située dans la partie avant de l'élément de fixation, relie de façon continue le corps à l'embase. Pour cette fixation, les ailes sont articulées par rapport au corps, et elles sont mobiles latéralement contre la force de (appel d'un ressort d'énergie. Les moyens qui assurent le rappel vertical du corps comprennent une tige verticale, qui est connectée sur un basculeur articulé. Le basculeur présente lui-même une branche qui est en appui contre un piston. C'est par l'intermédiaire de ce piston que le ressort d'énergie est sollicité par l'élévation verticale du corps, ou bien par l'ouverture latérale des ailes. Le corps est donc mobile verticalement en réponse à une sollicitation verticale de la chaussure, contre la force de rappel du ressort qui lui est transmise par le basculeur et la tige.Such a fixing is for example known, from the French patent application published under No. 2,640,516. This fixing has a body movable vertically relative to the base, against the restoring force of an elastic device which is housed inside the body. An elastically deformable zone, located in the front part of the fixing element, continuously connects the body to the base. For this attachment, the wings are articulated relative to the body, and they are movable laterally against the force of (call of an energy spring. The means which ensure the vertical return of the body include a vertical rod, which is connected to an articulated rocker. The rocker itself has a branch which is in abutment against a piston. It is by means of this piston that the energy spring is stressed by the vertical elevation of the body, or by the lateral opening of the wings The body is therefore movable vertically in response to a vertical stress on the shoe, against the return force of the spring which is transmitted to it by the rocker and the rod.
L'élévation du corps permet ou bien une adaptation automatique de l'élément de fixation à l'épaisseur de la semelle, ou bien permet de faciliter la libération de la chaussure en cas de chute vers l'arrière du skieur.The elevation of the body allows either an automatic adaptation of the fastening element to the thickness of the sole, or allows to facilitate the release of the boot in the event of a fall towards the rear of the skier.
Cette construction donne de bons résultats, mais sa mise en oeuvre nécessite plusieurs pièces mécaniques, réalisées avec des tolérances relativement strictes.This construction gives good results, but its implementation requires several mechanical parts, produced with relatively strict tolerances.
Un autre but de l'invention est d'adjoindre un moyen élastique de rappel vertical du corps qui s'intègre aisément à l'élément de fixation, c'est-à-dire un moyen dont la nature et l'encombrement lui permettent d'exercer la fonction recherchée, c'est-à-dire le rappel du corps, sans perturber le fonctionnement de l'élément de fixation et sans nécessiter de transformations importantes de l'élément.Another object of the invention is to add an elastic means for vertical return of the body which is easily integrated into the fixing element, that is to say a means whose nature and size allow it to 'exercise the desired function, that is to say the recall of the body, without disturbing the operation of the fastener and without requiring significant transformations of the element.
Un des buts de la présente invention est de proposer un élément de fixation de ce type, dans lequel le rappel élastique du corps, selon une direction verticale, est assuré par un dispositif plus simple et donc plus économique à fabriquer.One of the aims of the present invention is to provide a fastening element of this type, in which the elastic return of the body, in a vertical direction, is ensured by a device which is simpler and therefore more economical to manufacture.
D'autres buts et avantages de l'invention apparaîtront au cours de la description qui va suivre, cette description étant toutefois donnée à titre indicatif et non limitatif.Other objects and advantages of the invention will appear during the description which follows, this description being however given by way of non-limiting indication.
L'élément avant de fixation de ski comprend une embase par laquelle l'élément est assemblé au ski. Il comprend par ailleurs un corps mobile par rapport à l'embase, parallèlement au plan vertical et longitudinal médian du ski. Le corps porte un organe de retenue de l'extrémité de la chaussure, qui est constitué par un serre-semelle relié de façon solidaire au corps pour un mouvement vertical, et de deux ailes latérales mobiles par rapport au corps contre la force de rappel d'un dispositif d'énergie qui est logé dans le corps ou l'embase. Le corps et l'embase sont reliés l'un à l'autre dans leur parties antérieures, de façon à permettre un basculement du corps parallèlement au plan vertical et longitudinal médian du ski, en réponse à une sollicitation verticale de la chaussure sur le serre-semelle.The front ski binding element comprises a base by which the element is assembled to the ski. It also comprises a body movable relative to the base, parallel to the vertical and longitudinal median plane of the ski. The body carries a member for retaining the end of the shoe, which is constituted by a sole clamp connected integrally to the body for vertical movement, and two lateral wings movable relative to the body against the restoring force d '' an energy device that is housed in the body or base. The body and the base are connected to each other in their anterior parts, so as to allow the body to tilt parallel to the vertical and longitudinal median plane of the ski, in response to a vertical stress on the boot on the clamp. -sole.
Il est caractérisé par le fait qu'un moyen de rappel élastique indépendant du dispositif de rappel élastique qui rappelle les ailes, relie la partie arrière du corps à l'embase, et rappelle élastiquement la partie arrière du corps en direction de l'embase.It is characterized by the fact that an elastic return means independent of the elastic return device which recalls the wings, connects the rear part of the body to the base, and elastically recalls the rear part of the body in the direction of the base.

Les figures 1 à 3 représentent un élément de fixation 1 qui est assemblé sur un ski 2. L'élément de fixation 1 représenté présente de nombreuses caractéristiques semblables à celles qui ont déjà été décrites dans la demande de brevet français n° 2 640 516 au nom de la demanderesse.Figures 1 to 3 show a
Notamment, l'élément de fixation 1 présente une embase 3 par lequel l'élément de fixation est assemblé au ski par tout moyen approprié, et par exemple par des vis 4. L'embase 3 se prolonge vers l'arrière par une plaque d'appui 5 sur laquelle repose l'extrémité avant de la chaussure lors de la pratique du ski. Vue de dessus, l'embase 3 présente une forme de U ouvert en direction de l'arrière, ce qui crée dans sa partie centrale un évidement 6.In particular, the
L'élément de fixation 1 comprend par ailleurs un corps 8, qui est relié à l'embase 3 par une zone élastiquement déformable 10. Cette zone 10 relie de façon continue le corps 8 et l'embase 3, de telle façon que ces trois éléments ne forment en fait qu'une seule pièce monobloc. Dans la représentation adoptée, cette zone est située dans la partie avant de l'élément de fixation.The
Dans la partie inférieure du corps se trouve un pot 11, muni de préférence d'une garniture périphérique 12. Le plot 11 s'étend verticalement en direction de l'embase, où il se trouve engagé entre les deux jambes latérales du U. Latéralement, le pot présente une dimension qui correspond sensiblement à la largeur de l'évidement 6. Le pot 11 guide le corps 8 par rapport à l'embase 3 lors de ses mouvements verticaux.In the lower part of the body is a
La zone élastiquement déformable 10, en coopération avec le plot 11, permet un basculement du corps 8, parallèlement au plan vertical et longitudinal médian du ski, c'est-à-dire le plan de la figure 1. Toutefois, ce mode de liaison entre le corps et l'embase n'est pas limitatif, tout autre moyen approprié pourrait en effet convenir, notamment une articulation par l'intermédiaire d'un axe transversal situé entre le corps et l'embase, ou bien la coopération de formes en saillie et en relief du corps et de l'embase, qui créent un axe de rotation du corps par rapport à l'embase. Un élément de fixation de ce type est par exemple décrit dans la demande de brevet français n° 2 642 656 au nom de la demanderesse.The elastically
Dans sa partie arrière, le corps 8 porte un organe de retenue 15. L'organe de retenue est destiné à retenir l'extrémité de la chaussure en appui sur le ski, et donc, à s'opposer, aux sollicitations de la chaussure qui présentent une direction verticale vers le haut, latérale, ou longitudinale vers l'avant. L'organe de retenue 15 comprend en particulier un serre-semelle 16, qui offre à l'embout avant de la chaussure, une surface d'appui horizontale assurant la retenue verticale de celle-ci. Dans l'exemple représenté, le serre-semelle 16 est une pièce rapportée, qui est assemblée au corps par la coopération de formes correspondantes et par une goupille schématisée en 17.In its rear part, the
L'organe de retenue 15 comprend, par ailleurs, deux ailes de retenue latérale 20 et 21, qui sont articulées par rapport au corps autour d'un axe approximativement vertical 22 et 23. Les ailes présentent, au-delà des axes 22 et 23, un petit bras dont l'extrémité est en appui sur un piston 25, ce piston étant guidé à l'intérieur du corps 8 pour un déplacement selon une direction longitudinale. Le mouvement du piston 25, qui a lieu lors de la sollicitation à l'ouverture de l'une des ailes, se fait contre la force de rappel élastique d'un ressort 26. La précontrainte du ressort peut être réglée d'une manière connue au moyen d'une vis 27.The retaining
Ainsi, les sollicitations latérales de la chaussure sur l'organe de retenue 15 sont transmises au ressort 26, et selon leur intensité, l'une des ailes s'ouvre jusqu'à permettre la libération de l'extrémité de chaussure.Thus, the lateral stresses of the shoe on the retaining
Par contre, les sollicitations verticales vers le haut sont captées par le serre-semelle 16. Ce serre-semelle étant solidaire du corps 8, ces sollicitations tendent à élever le corps 8, c'est-à-dire à faire basculer le corps 8 par rapport à la zone élastiquement déformable 10.On the other hand, the vertical upward stresses are picked up by the
Selon l'invention, un moyen de rappel élastique relie la partie arrière du corps à l'embase, pour s'opposer élastiquement à de tels mouvements. Ce moyen de rappel élastique est indépendant du moyen d'énergie qui assure le rappel élastique des ailes latérales 20 et 21, c'est-à-dire, le ressort 26.According to the invention, an elastic return means connects the rear part of the body to the base, to elastically oppose such movements. This elastic return means is independent of the energy means which ensures the elastic return of the
Dans le mode de réalisation des figures 1 à 3, le moyen de rappel élastique vertical du corps est un ressort à boudin 30, qui est plus facilement visible dans la figure 4. Le ressort à boudin 30 est logé en partie dans l'évidement 6 de l'embase 3, et en partie dans un évidement du corps situé en arrière du pot 11.In the embodiment of Figures 1 to 3, the vertical elastic return means of the body is a
En se référant à cette figure, le ressort présente deux enroulements latéraux symétriques 31 et 32, qui sont reliés entre eux par une partie centrale horizontale et surélevée 33 qui, de préférence, est décalée sensiblement vers l'arrière par rapport aux enroulements 31 et 32. Cette partie centrale 33 est destinée à s'emboiter dans la partie inférieure d'un prolongement 34 vers le bas du serre-semelle 16, qui présente une forme de crochet 36. Ainsi, cette partie centrale 33 est reliée au corps par l'intermédiaire du serre-semelle 16 pour tous les mouvements verticaux, en particulier ceux vers le haut. Les dimensions en coupe du prolongement 34 sont prévues pour supporter au moins la force maximale de rappel développée par le ressort 30.Referring to this figure, the spring has two symmetrical
Les extrémités libres du ressort 30 sont par ailleurs pourvues de moyens d'accrochage à l'embase. Ces moyens sont représentés sous la forme d'une extrémité coudée latéralement vers l'extérieur 37, 38. Les extrémités 37 et 38 sont engagées dans des logements 39, 40 que l'embase présente dans ses deux branches latérales pour recevoir ces extrémités. L'embase 3 assure la reprise des efforts de rappel des ressorts que les mouvements verticaux du corps 8 engendrent.The free ends of the
En variante, la figure 4a représente une extrémité 37a qui se prolonge par un segment coudé s'étendant longitudinalement vers l'arrière. Les logements de l'embase ont alors une forme correspondante pour recevoir ces extrémités doublement coudées. Ceci répartit sur une plus grande longueur de l'embase les efforts que les extrémités du ressort 30 transmettent à l'embase. En outre, l'énergie de rappel du ressort est développée non seulement par la déformation des spires, mais aussi par la torsion des extrémités 37a.Alternatively, Figure 4a shows an end 37a which is extended by a bent segment extending longitudinally rearward. The housings of the base then have a corresponding shape to receive these doubly bent ends. This distributes over a greater length of the base the forces that the ends of the
Le nombre de spires de chaque enroulement 31 et 32 n'est pas limitatif. Il est de un tour et demi environ dans l'exemple représenté.The number of turns of each winding 31 and 32 is not limiting. It is about one and a half turns in the example shown.
D'après ce qui précède, on comprend que les mouvements verticaux du corps vers le haut sollicitent chaque enroulement 31 et 32 du ressort 30 à l'extension, autrement dit au déroulement.From the above, it is understood that the vertical movements of the body upwards urge each winding 31 and 32 of the
La figure 5 représente une variante de réalisation, selon laquelle le ressort 40 travaille de manière inverse, c'est-à-dire à l'enroulement. Ce ressort présente des enroulements 41 et 42 de sens opposés aux enroulements 31 et 32. Il présente, par ailleurs, une partie centrale 43, et des extrémités libres 47 et 48 semblables aux éléments 33, 37 et 38 du ressort 30.Figure 5 shows an alternative embodiment, according to which the
La figure 6 présente une autre variante selon laquelle le ressort 50 présente des enroulements dont le sens est semblable à celui du ressort 30. Par contre, la partie centrale 53 est largement décalée vers le haut par rapport aux enroulements, pour s'accrocher au corps, dans la partie supérieure de celui-ci, dans un logement 54 qui est situé approximativement à la hauteur de la surface horizontale du serre-semelle.FIG. 6 presents another variant according to which the
Le fonctionnement du dispositif qui vient d'être décrit est le suivant. Lors de la pratique du ski, la chaussure soumet l'élément de fixation avant à des sollicitations, en particulier à des sollicitations verticales vers le haut. Ces sollicitations sont transmises au corps 8, par l'intermédiaire du serre-semelle, et provoquent le basculement vers le haut du corps autour de la zone élastiquement déformable 10, à la fois contre la force de rappel élastique, ou le moment de rappel élastique qui est engendré par cette zone, et la force de rappel élastique qui est développée par le ressort 30, 40 ou 50. Il faut, en outre, souligner que cette dernière force de rappel élastique est indépendante du ressort d'énergie 26, et donc du réglage du ressort 26 pour le mouvement d'ouverture latérale des ailes.The operation of the device which has just been described is as follows. When skiing, the boot subjects the front binding element to stresses, in particular to vertical stresses upwards. These stresses are transmitted to the
La figure 7 représente une variante de réalisation de l'invention selon laquelle le moyen de rappel élastique du corps est un ressort 60 qui travaille principalement à la torsion.FIG. 7 represents an alternative embodiment of the invention according to which the elastic return means of the body is a
L'élément de fixation représenté en figure 7 est par ailleurs semblable à celui qui a été décrit relativement aux figures 1 à 3. Il ne sera donc pas décrit en détail.The fastener shown in Figure 7 is also similar to that which has been described in relation to Figures 1 to 3. It will therefore not be described in detail.
Le ressort 70 est visible en perspective dans la figure 8. Il présente une partie centrale horizontale et surélevée 63 qui est logée dans la partie inférieure en forme de crochet 66 d'un élément rapporté identique au serre-semelle 16 de la figure 1.The spring 70 is visible in perspective in FIG. 8. It has a horizontal and raised
De chaque côté de la partie centrale 63, le ressort 60 présente une partie doublement coudée 61, 62, les deux parties étant symétriques l'une par rapport à l'autre.On each side of the
Chaque partie doublement coudée 61, 62 présente un segment longitudinal 61a, 62a, un segment de torsion 61b, 92b orienté transversalement et un segment d'extrémité longitudinal 61c, 62c.Each doubly
Les segments d'extrémité 61c, 62c et une partie des segments de torsion 61b, 62b sont encastrés dans des logements 64 et 65 des deux branches latérales de l'embase 67.The
Le ressort 60 relie ainsi le corps par l'intermédiaire du crochet 66, à l'embase 3 par l'intermédiaire des logements 64 et 65.The
Les mouvements verticaux du corps sollicitent principalement le ressort 60 à la torsion au niveau des segments de torsion transversaux 61b et 62b. Comme dans les cas précédents, le ressort 60 assure le rappel élastique du corps en direction de l'embase, et la force de rappel qu'il développe est indépendante de la force de rappel du ressort d'énergie qui rappelle les ailes.The vertical movements of the body mainly stress the
Naturellement, la présente description n'est donnée qu'à titre indicatif, et on pourrait adopter d'autres mises en oeuvre de l'invention sans pour autant sortir du cadre de celle-ci.Naturally, the present description is given for information only, and other implementations of the invention could be adopted without departing from the scope thereof.
En particulier, le ressort 26 et le piston 25 pourraient être placés et guidés dans un logement de l'embase, au lieu d'un logement du corps.In particular, the
De même, le serre-semelle pourrait être constitué par la partie supérieure des ailes de retenues. Les ailes étant articulées par rapport au corps autour d'axes approximativement verticaux, elles transmettent directement au corps les efforts verticaux auxquels la chaussure les soumet.Similarly, the sole clamp could be constituted by the upper part of the retaining wings. The wings being articulated relative to the body about approximately vertical axes, they transmit directly to the body the vertical forces to which the shoe subjects them.
Enfin, le ressort pourrait être remplacé par un autre moyen de rappel élastique, par exemple un dispositif amortisseur.Finally, the spring could be replaced by another elastic return means, for example a damping device.
