The base plate (2) is intended to be secured to the ski by means of screws (14, 15). The ski brake has a base piece (10) superposed on the base plate (2), and the assembly of the base piece to the base plate is effected by the interaction of tenons (18, 19) and mortices (20, 21) of the base plate (2). The brake (8) is, moreover, assembled to the base plate (2) by means of a removable bolt (23). The front screws for assembling the binding to the ski pass through both the base piece (10) of the brake (8) and the front part of the base plate (2), and their head bears on the base plate (10) of the brake. The binding is delivered with the brake assembled and, subsequently, it is possible to dismantle the brake by unscrewing the front screws (14) and by opening the bolt (23). <IMAGE>

Description

L'invention concerne une fixation de ski alpin. Plus précisément, l'invention concerne une fixation de ski alpin qui comprend une plaque de base de forme générale allongée, sur laquelle sont assemblés un élément de retenue de la chaussure et un frein de ski.The invention relates to an alpine ski binding. More specifically, the invention relates to an alpine ski binding which comprises a base plate of generally elongated shape, on which are assembled a shoe retaining element and a ski brake.

De façon usuelle, une chaussure est retenue en appui sur un ski alpin par un élément de fixation avant et un élément de fixation arrière. Le frein de ski qui équipe quasiment toutes les fixations de ski est associé le plus souvent à l'élément de fixation arrière.Usually, a boot is retained in abutment on an alpine ski by a front binding element and a rear binding element. The ski brake which is fitted to almost all ski bindings is most often associated with the rear binding element.

L'élément de fixation arrière comprend un corps qui est assemblé à la plaque de base, et qui porte un organe de retenue de la chaussure.The rear binding element includes a body which is assembled to the base plate, and which carries a shoe retainer.

La plaque de base est solidarisée au ski par l'intermédiaire de vis qui la plaquent et la retiennent en appui contre la surface supérieure du ski.The base plate is secured to the ski by means of screws which flatten it and hold it in abutment against the upper surface of the ski.

De façon connue, le frein de ski qui est associé à la fixation comprend au moins un bras de frein qui est mobile par rapport à une embase solidarisée au ski entre une position active de freinage, et une position inactive de repos.In known manner, the ski brake which is associated with the binding comprises at least one brake arm which is movable relative to a base secured to the ski between an active braking position and an inactive rest position.

Pour certaines fixations actuellement existantes, l'embase du frein fait partie intégrante de la plaque de base de la fixation. Une telle fixation est par exemple décrite dans le brevet américain US 4,729,577 ou la demande de brevet français publiée sous le numéro FR 2 613 243. Pour ces fixations, le frein est monté sur le ski avec la plaque de base, ce qui représente une économie de temps au montage. En effet, le montage de la fixation dans son ensemble se fait en une seule fois. Toutefois, si à la suite d'un problème technique, on souhaite échanger le frein, il est nécessaire de démonter l'ensemble de la fixation, et de changer à la fois le frein et la plaque de base de la fixation.For some currently existing bindings, the brake base is an integral part of the base plate of the binding. Such a binding is for example described in American patent US 4,729,577 or the French patent application published under the number FR 2 613 243. For these bindings, the brake is mounted on the ski with the base plate, which represents an economy. of assembly time. Indeed, the mounting of the entire binding is done in one go. However, if following a technical problem, you want to exchange the brake, it is necessary to disassemble the entire binding, and to change both the brake and the base plate of the binding.

Pour d'autres fixations existantes, l'embase du frein est distincte de la plaque de base de la fixation. La demande de brevet allemand publiée sous le numéro 27 25 184 montre une telle fixation. Pour ces fixations, la plaque de base est d'abord assemblée au ski avec le corps de la fixation, puis le frein est assemblé par son embase à la plaque de base de la fixation. En cas de problème technique sur le frein, l'échange du frein est possible. Toutefois, le montage de la fixation sur le ski nécessite une opération supplémentaire qui est le montage du frein sur la plaque de base de la fixation.For other existing fixings, the brake base is separate from the fixing base plate. The German patent application published under the number 27 25 184 shows such a fixation. For these bindings, the base plate is first assembled to the ski with the body of the binding, then the brake is assembled by its base to the base plate of the binding. In the event of a technical problem with the brake, replacement of the brake is possible. However, the mounting of the binding on the ski requires an additional operation which is the mounting of the brake on the base plate of the binding.

Pour ces fixations, il faut remarquer que le frein est retenu au reste de la fixation, et donc au ski que par des moyens d'assemblage amovibles, de façon à pouvoir démonter le frein facilement. En d'autres termes, les vis de fixation sur la plaque de base sur le ski n'exercent aucun rôle sur l'assemblage du frein au reste de la fixation. Cet assemblage est pourtant soumis à des sollicitations élevées, lorsque le frein devient actif. Il est donc nécessaire de prévoir des moyens d'assemblage du frein à la plaque de base qui sont très résistants.For these bindings, it should be noted that the brake is retained on the rest of the binding, and therefore on the ski only by removable assembly means, so that the brake can be removed easily. In other words, the fixing screws on the base plate on the ski have no role in assembling the brake to the rest of the binding. However, this assembly is subjected to high stresses when the brake becomes active. It is therefore necessary to provide means for assembling the brake to the base plate which are very resistant.

Un des buts de l'invention est de proposer une fixation qui se monte très rapidement sur le ski, en une seule fois.One of the aims of the invention is to provide a binding which can be mounted very quickly on the ski, all at once.

Un des buts de l'invention est de proposer une fixation dent le frein est démontable de façon simple par rapport à la plaque de base de la fixation.One of the objects of the invention is to propose a fixing tooth the brake is removable in a simple way with respect to the base plate of the fixing.

Un autre but de l'invention est de proposer une fixation dont les vis d'assemblage de la plaque de base au ski exercent également une action sur l'assemblage de l'embase du frein sur la plaque de base.Another object of the invention is to provide a binding whose assembly screws of the base plate to the ski also exert an action on the assembly of the brake base on the base plate.

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.

La fixation de ski alpin selon l'invention est définie par la revendication 1.The alpine ski binding according to the invention is defined by claim 1.

L'invention sera mieux comprise en se référant à la description ci-dessous, ainsi qu'aux dessins en annexe qui en font partie intégrante.The invention will be better understood by referring to the description below, as well as to the accompanying drawings which form an integral part thereof.

La figure 1 est une vue générale, en perspective, qui représente une fixation de ski alpin, avec un élément de retenue de la chaussure et un frein, selon un mode non limitatif de mise en oeuvre de l'invention.Figure 1 is a general perspective view showing an alpine ski binding, with a boot retainer and a brake, according to a non-limiting embodiment of the invention.

Les figures 2 à 4 illustrent de façon schématique les différentes opérations de montage ou de démontage de la fixation représentée dans la figure 1.FIGS. 2 to 4 schematically illustrate the various operations for mounting or dismounting the fastener shown in FIG. 1.

La fixation 1 qui est représentée dans la figure 1 présente une plaque de base 2, de forme générale allongée, sur laquelle est assemblé un élément de retenue 3 pour une chaussure de ski.The binding 1 which is shown in FIG. 1 has a base plate 2, of generally elongated shape, on which a retaining element 3 is assembled for a ski boot.

Il est visible dans la figure 1 que l'élément de retenue représenté est destiné à retenir l'extrémité arrière d'une chaussure, et qu'il comprend un corps 4, ainsi qu'une mâchoire de retenue 5 portée par le corps. De façon connue, le corps 4 s'étend sur une partie de la longueur de la plaque de base 2. Il peut coulisser le long de la plaque de base 2, ou bien pour adapter sa position à la longueur de la chaussure, ou bien lors de la pratique du ski à la suite des flexions du ski.It is visible in Figure 1 that the retainer shown is intended to retain the rear end of a shoe, and that it comprises a body 4, and a retaining jaw 5 carried by the body. In known manner, the body 4 extends over part of the length of the base plate 2. It can slide along the base plate 2, either to adapt its position to the length of the shoe, or when skiing after bending the ski.

La plaque de base 2 se prolonge vers l'avant, au-delà du corps 4, par une plate-forme 6, qui est destinée à recevoir un frein 8. Le frein 8 présente une embase 10, qui est destinée à se superposer à la plate-forme 6.The base plate 2 is extended forward, beyond the body 4, by a platform 6, which is intended to receive a brake 8. The brake 8 has a base 10, which is intended to be superposed on platform 6.

De façon connue, le frein 8 comprend par ailleurs au moins un bras de frein, et dans le cas présent deux bras 11 et 12 qui sont articulés par rapport à l'embase 10, et qui sont actionnés par l'intermédiaire d'une pédale 13 entre une position inactive de repos dans laquelle les bras de frein sont remontés au-dessus de la surface supérieure du ski, et une position active de travail dans laquelle les bras de frein s'entendent sous la surface inférieure du ski.In known manner, the brake 8 also comprises at least one brake arm, and in the present case two arms 11 and 12 which are articulated relative to the base 10, and which are actuated by means of a pedal 13 between an inactive rest position in which the brake arms are raised above the upper surface of the ski, and an active working position in which the brake arms are heard under the lower surface of the ski.

De façon connue, des moyens rappellent élastiquement les bras de frein dans leur position active de freinage. Dans le cas présent, ces moyens sont constitués par le fil lui-même qui constitue les bras de frein, et qui est sollicité à la torsion lorsque le frein est actionné en position inactive.In known manner, means resiliently recall the brake arms in their active braking position. In the present case, these means consist of the wire itself which constitutes the brake arms, and which is subjected to torsion when the brake is actuated in the inactive position.

La plaque de base 2 est équipée de moyens qui assurent l'assemblage de la fixation à un ski. Dans l'exemple illustré, ces moyens sont représentés sous la forme de vis, deux vis avant 14, qui seront décrites ultérieurement, et deux vis arrières 15. Les vis arrières 15 sont situées sur les bords de la plaque de base 2, et ils traversent celle-ci de part en part. Un logement est prévu pour chaque vis, de telle façon que la tête de vis prenne appui sur le dessus de la plaque de base 2 lorsque la vis est serrée dans le ski.The base plate 2 is equipped with means which assemble the binding to a ski. In the example illustrated, these means are represented in the form of screws, two front screws 14, which will be described later, and two rear screws 15. The rear screws 15 are located on the edges of the base plate 2, and they go right through it. A housing is provided for each screw, so that the screw head is supported on the top of the base plate 2 when the screw is tightened in the ski.

De préférence, les vis arrières 15 sont pré-posées, c'est-à-dire que, avant assemblage, des moyens de maintien maintiennent les vis 15 assemblées à l'embase 2 de préférence avec la pointe de vis qui fait saillie sous la plaque de base. Ces moyens sont d'un type connu et ne seront pas décrits en détail.Preferably, the rear screws 15 are pre-laid, that is to say that, before assembly, holding means hold the screws 15 assembled to the base 2 preferably with the screw tip which projects under the base plate. These means are of a known type and will not be described in detail.

Le frein 8 présente de son côté, des moyens d'assemblage de son embase 10 à la plaque de base 2. Dans l'exemple illustré, ces moyens sont constitués par des languettes 18 et 19 qui sont situées dans la partie avant de l'embase 10 et orientées vers l'avant, et qui coopèrent à la manière de tenons avec des mortaises 20 et 21 situées dans la partie avant de la plate-forme 6. Les mortaises 20 et 21 sont portées en fait par deux ailes à l'avant de la plate-forme repliées à 90° vers le haut.The brake 8 has, for its part, means for assembling its base 10 to the base plate 2. In the example illustrated, these means consist of tongues 18 and 19 which are located in the front part of the base 10 and oriented towards the front, and which cooperate in the manner of tenons with mortises 20 and 21 located in the front part of the platform 6. The mortises 20 and 21 are in fact carried by two wings at the front of the platform folded 90 ° upwards.

Les moyens d'assemblage de l'embase 10 à la plaque de base 2 comprennent par ailleurs un verrou mobile entre une position active et une position inactive. Dans la position active, le verrou assure en coopération avec les tenons et mortaises précédents, l'assemblage de l'embase 10 à la plaque de base 2. En position inactive, le verrou permet le dégagement de l'embase 10 par un mouvement de bascule puis de translation de l'embase 10 pour dégager les tenons 18 et 19 hors des mortaises 20 et 21.The means for assembling the base 10 to the base plate 2 also comprise a movable lock between an active position and an inactive position. In the active position, the lock ensures, in cooperation with the previous tenons and mortises, the assembly of the base 10 to the base plate 2. In the inactive position, the lock allows the base 10 to be released by a movement of rocker then translation of the base 10 to release the pins 18 and 19 out of the mortises 20 and 21.

Dans l'exemple illustré, le verrou est représenté sous la forme d'une vis courte 23, dont la partie filetée s'engage dans un orifice taraudé 24 de la plaque de base 2, au niveau de la plate-forme 6. La longueur de la vis est déterminée pour que la pointe de la vis ne dépasse pas sous la plaque de base 2, lorsque l'embase 10 est assemblée à la plaque de base 2 et que la vis 23 est serrée.In the example illustrated, the lock is represented in the form of a short screw 23, the threaded part of which engages in a threaded orifice 24 of the base plate 2, at the level of the platform 6. The length of the screw is determined so that the tip of the screw does not protrude under the base plate 2, when the base 10 is assembled to the base plate 2 and the screw 23 is tightened.

Dans la figure 1, où le frein est représenté à part par rapport à la plaque de base 2, les vis 14 qui permettent l'assemblage de la fixation au ski sont portées par l'embase du frein 8. la plaque de base 2 présente quant à elle des orifices 30 et 31 que traversent les parties filetées des vis 14. Ces orifices 30 et 31 et ceux de l'embase 10 se superposent lorsque l'embase est en position au dessus de la plaque de base 2.In FIG. 1, where the brake is shown separately with respect to the base plate 2, the screws 14 which allow the binding of the ski binding to be assembled are carried by the base of the brake 8. the base plate 2 has as for the orifices 30 and 31 through which the threaded parts of the screws 14 pass. These orifices 30 and 31 and those of the base 10 are superimposed when the base is in position above the base plate 2.

En d'autres termes, lorsque les vis 14 sont serrées dans le ski, leur tête prend appui sur l'embase 10 du frein, et agissent indirectement sur la plaque de base 2 par pincement transmis par l'embase 10.In other words, when the screws 14 are tightened in the ski, their head is supported on the base 10 of the brake, and act indirectly on the base plate 2 by pinching transmitted by the base 10.

D'une façon connue, les vis 14 et 15 d'assemblage de la fixation au ski présentent une longueur suffisante pour permettre un assemblage de la fixation sur le ski dans de bonnes conditions de tenue.In a known manner, the screws 14 and 15 for assembling the binding to the ski have a length sufficient to allow assembly of the binding to the ski under good conditions of behavior.

De préférence, la tête des vis 14 et de la vis 23 présente des empreintes d'entraînement différentes, et de préférence incompatibles. C'est-à-dire qu'il faut des outils différents pour manoeuvrer les vis 14 ou bien la vis 23 et qu'il est impossible de manoeuvrer l'ensemble des vas avec le même outil. Par exemple, l'empreinte des vis 14 est du type connu sous le nom "POZIDRIV" et l'empreinte de la vis 23 est du type à six lobes internes connu sous le nom "TORX".Preferably, the head of the screws 14 and of the screw 23 has different drive impressions, and preferably incompatible. That is to say that different tools are required to operate the screws 14 or else the screw 23 and that it is impossible to operate all of the vas with the same tool. For example, the imprint of the screws 14 is of the type known under the name "POZIDRIV" and the imprint of the screw 23 is of the type with six internal lobes known under the name "TORX".

D'après ce qui précède, il ressort que le frein 8 peut être assemblé à la plaque de base 2 en usine, par vissage de la vis 23 dans l'orifice 24. Dans cette position qui est illustrée dans la figure 2, l'ensemble des vis d'assemblage 14 et 15 se trouve en position de prépose, c'est-à-dire prêtes à être vissées, avec de préférence, les pointes de vis qui dépassent légèrement sous la plaque de base 2. Les fixations sont livrées dans ce cas avec le frein assemblé à la plaque de base 2, ce qui rend leur montage sur le ski 33 très rapide et très simple.From the above, it appears that the brake 8 can be assembled to the base plate 2 at the factory, by screwing the screw 23 into the orifice 24. In this position which is illustrated in FIG. 2, the set of assembly screws 14 and 15 is in the preposition position, that is to say ready to be screwed, with preferably the screw tips which protrude slightly under the base plate 2. The fixings are delivered in this case with the brake assembled to the base plate 2, which makes their mounting on the ski 33 very quick and very simple.

La figure 3 représente la fixation 1 de la figure précédente assemblée sur un ski 33. Dans cette position, les vis 14 et 15 sont serrées dans le ski. Il convient de remarquer que les vis avant 14 exercent leur action de façon directe sur l'embase 10 du frein 8 qui, à son tour, exerce un pincement sur la partie avant de la plaque de base 2. Le frein est donc assemblé au ski par les moyens d'assemblage de son embase 10 à la plaque de base 2 et aussi par les vis 14. Cet élément est donc très résistant.Figure 3 shows the binding 1 of the previous figure assembled on a ski 33. In this position, the screws 14 and 15 are tightened in the ski. It should be noted that the front screws 14 exert their action directly on the base 10 of the brake 8 which, in turn, exerts a pinch on the front part of the base plate 2. The brake is therefore assembled to the ski by the means of assembling its base 10 to the base plate 2 and also by the screws 14. This element is therefore very resistant.

La figure 4 illustre le démontage du frein 8, par exemple dans le but de le changer. Ainsi que cela est schématisé dans cette figure, le démontage du frein 8 nécessite que les vis avant 14, et la vis de verrouillage 23 soient desserrées. Le frein peut alors être déboîté de la plaque de base 2. Un nouveau frein peut être mis en place et être assemblé à la plaque de base 2 et au ski par le serrage des vis avant 14 et de la vis 23 qui joue le rôle de verrou.Figure 4 illustrates the disassembly of the brake 8, for example in order to change it. As shown in this figure, disassembly of the brake 8 requires that the front screws 14 and the locking screw 23 be loosened. The brake can then be removed from the base plate 2. A new brake can be put in place and be assembled to the base plate 2 and to the ski by tightening the front screws 14 and the screw 23 which plays the role of lock.

Ainsi, le frein qui équipe la présente fixation est démontable de façon simple, mais d'un autre côté, il se trouve déjà assemblé au reste de la fixation lorsque celle-ci est montée pour la première fois sur le ski. On se rend compte que l'embase du frein occupe une place importante sur la plaque de base, et que le montage des vis qui est adopté ici assure une bonne tenue du frein et de la plaque de base à la fixation sur le ski, et d'autre part une possibilité de démontage du frein.Thus, the brake which equips the present binding is removable in a simple manner, but on the other hand, it is already assembled to the rest of the binding when the latter is mounted for the first time on the ski. We realize that the base of the brake occupies an important place on the base plate, and that the mounting of the screws which is adopted here ensures good resistance of the brake and the base plate to the attachment to the ski, and on the other hand a possibility of disassembling the brake.

Naturellement, la présente description n'est donnée qu'à titre indicatif.Naturally, this description is given for information only.

En particulier, il va de soi que l'invention s'applique également à un élément de fixation avant auquel un frein serait associé.In particular, it goes without saying that the invention also applies to a front fastening element with which a brake would be associated.
