Description

La présente invention concerne une raquette à neige et plus particulièrement son dispositif de retenue pour la chaussure.The present invention relates to a snowshoe and more particularly its retaining device for the shoe.

Les raquettes à neige sont des engins connus depuis de très nombreuses années car utilisées depuis plusieurs siècles par les populations Scandinaves pour se déplacer sur la neige. Jusqu'à nos jours, les raquettes à neige étaient utilisées à des fins utilitaires ou militaires pour permettre aux populations et aux troupes alpines de se déplacer sur la neige pour leurs déplacements nécessités par la vie quotidienne. Actuellement, les raquettes à neige sont plutôt utilisées par des sportifs qui font des randonnées et des promenades, voire même des compétitions. Mais les sportifs, bien que pratiquant pour leur plaisir, sont de plus en plus exigeants pour le matériel qu'ils utilisent, et il est vrai que les produits actuellement vendus ne donnent pas entière satisfaction.Snowshoes have been known for many years because they have been used for centuries by the Scandinavian populations to travel on snow. Until today, snowshoes were used for utility or military purposes to allow the populations and the Alpine troops to move on snow for their displacements necessary for the daily life. Currently, snowshoes are rather used by sportsmen who go for hikes and walks, or even competitions. But athletes, although practicing for their pleasure, are more and more demanding for the equipment they use, and it is true that the products currently sold are not entirely satisfactory.

En effet, dans la plupart des cas, la retenue de la chaussure n'est pas suffisante ce qui cause des désagréments lors de la progression. De plus, tous les dispositifs de retenue de la chaussure sont peu commodes à mettre en oeuvre pour l'utilisateur qui est souvent maladroit dans ses manipulations.In fact, in most cases, the retention of the shoe is not sufficient, which causes inconvenience during progression. In addition, all the shoe retaining devices are inconvenient to implement for the user who is often clumsy in his handling.

La présente invention se propose de résoudre les inconvénients des dispositifs connus en proposant un dispositif qui allie simplicité, commodité, sécurité et fiabilité.The present invention proposes to solve the drawbacks of known devices by proposing a device which combines simplicity, convenience, security and reliability.

Ainsi, la raquette à neige comprend un dispositif de retenue de la chaussure du type comprenant une plaque portant des moyens de retenue avant et des moyens de retenue arrière et est, selon l'invention, caractérisée en ce que lesdits moyens de retenue arrière sont disposés coulissants sur ladite plaque et sont reliés à la plaque par des moyens de traction, de façon à ce que la tension et le verrouillage desdits moyens de retenue arrière provoquent le déplacement vers l'avant de ceux-ci.Thus, the snowshoe comprises a shoe retaining device of the type comprising a plate carrying front retaining means and rear retaining means and is, according to the invention, characterized in that said rear retaining means are arranged sliding on said plate and are connected to the plate by traction means, so that the tension and the locking of said rear retaining means cause them to move forwards.

Selon des caractéristiques complémentaires, les moyens de retenue avant sont constitués en partie par des éléments fixes solidaires de l'extrémité avant de la plaque et en partie par au moins un élément mobile, tandis que les moyens de retenue arrière comprennent une pièce arrière mobile en coulissement sur la plaque, ledit élément mobile étant relié à la pièce arrière mobile par les moyens de traction.According to additional characteristics, the front retaining means are formed in part by fixed elements integral with the front end of the plate and in part by at least one movable element, while the rear retaining means comprise a movable rear part in sliding on the plate, said movable element being connected to the movable rear part by the traction means.

Selon une autre caractéristique complémentaire, l'élément mobile est un capot pivotant autour d'un axe sur deux bras latéraux solidaires de l'extrémité avant de la plaque, ledit capot comprenant deux bras latéraux de pivotement reliés par une paroi de retenue et comprenant chacun un trou de passage, respectivement destiné à recevoir une courroie avant.According to another additional characteristic, the mobile element is a cover pivoting about an axis on two lateral arms secured to the front end of the plate, said cover comprising two lateral pivot arms connected by a retaining wall and each comprising a through hole, respectively intended to receive a front belt.

Par ailleurs, les moyens de traction sont avantageusement constitués par une sangle ou courroie arrière comprenant un verrou de fermeture dont la partie médiane est engagée autour d'un organe d'accrochage solidaire de la plaque et dont les portions latérales sont engagées dans un passant de la pièce arrière mobile, lesdits moyens de traction assurant l'immobilisation du talon de la chaussure sur la pièce arrière mobile.Furthermore, the traction means are advantageously constituted by a rear strap or strap comprising a closing latch, the middle part of which is engaged around a fastening member secured to the plate and the lateral portions of which are engaged in a loop of the movable rear part, said traction means ensuring the immobilization of the heel of the shoe on the movable rear part.

Selon une disposition préférée, la pièce arrière mobile est constituée par une paroi d'emboîtement solidaire d'un support arrière coulissant, ladite paroi d'emboîtement formant une cavité arrière pour recevoir l'extrémité arrière de la chaussure, tandis que l'extrémité avant de la plaque comprend deux parois latérales parallèles s'étendant vers le haut et prolongées vers l'avant par deux parois frontales convergentes.According to a preferred arrangement, the movable rear part is constituted by an interlocking wall integral with a sliding rear support, said interlocking wall forming a rear cavity to receive the rear end of the shoe, while the front end of the plate comprises two parallel side walls extending upward and extended forward by two converging front walls.

D'autres caractéristiques et avantages de l'invention se dégageront de la description qui va suivre en regard des dessins annexés qui ne sont donnés qu'à titre d'exemples non limitatifs.Other characteristics and advantages of the invention will emerge from the description which follows with reference to the appended drawings which are given only by way of nonlimiting examples.

La raquette destinée à être équipée du dispositif selon la présente invention peut, bien entendu, être de tout type et, par exemple, comme cela est représenté aux figures 1 et 2.The racket intended to be equipped with the device according to the present invention can, of course, be of any type and, for example, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2.

Ainsi, la raquette désignée par la référence générale (1) se présente telle qu'illustrée sous la forme d'une plaque ajourée qui comprend un cadre extérieur (2) constitué par une paroi périphérique délimitant une zone intérieure (3) formant le tamis proprement dit qui comprend un ensemble de sangles transversales (4). Ledit cadre a une forme générale allongée qui peut être légèrement relevé à l'avant pour constituer une spatule avant (5).Thus, the racket designated by the general reference (1) is as illustrated in the form of a perforated plate which comprises an outer frame (2) constituted by a peripheral wall delimiting an inner zone (3) forming the screen properly. said which includes a set of transverse straps (4). Said frame has a generally elongated shape which can be raised slightly at the front to form a front spatula (5).

La chaussure (6) de l'utilisateur est retenue à la raquette proprement dite par une fixation constituant le dispositif de retenue selon l'invention et portant la référence générale (7).The user's shoe (6) is retained on the racket itself by a fixing constituting the retaining device according to the invention and bearing the general reference (7).

Selon un mode préféré de l'invention, le dispositif de retenue (7) est constitué principalement par une plaque fixée à la raquette de façon à être articulée sur le cadre (2) autour d'un axe transversal (XX') pour pouvoir pivoter de façon connue en soi vers le haut comme cela est représenté par la flèche "F1".According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, the retaining device (7) consists mainly of a plate fixed to the racket so as to be articulated on the frame (2) around a transverse axis (XX ') in order to be able to pivot in a manner known per se upwards as represented by the arrow "F1".

Le dispositif de retenue (7) de la chaussure (6) est donc constitué par une plaque (8) comprenant des moyens de retenue pour la chaussure (6). A savoir, des moyens de retenue avant (9) et des moyens de retenue arrière (10), lesdits moyens de retenue avant étant destinés à retenir l'extrémité avant (11) de la chaussure, tandis que lesdits moyens de retenue arrière (10) sont destinés à en retenir l'extrémité arrière (12). Selon une caractéristique de l'invention, les moyens de retenue arrière (10) sont disposés coulissants sur la plaque (8) et sont reliés à la plaque (8) par moyens de traction (13) de façon à ce que le verrouillage desdits moyens de retenue arrière (10) provoque le déplacement vers l'avant selon F2 et contre l'arrière de la chaussure desdits moyens de retenue arrière (10), lesdits moyens de traction constituant en partie les moyens de retenue arrière.The shoe retaining device (7) (6) therefore consists of a plate (8) comprising retaining means for the shoe (6). Namely, front retaining means (9) and rear retaining means (10), said front retaining means being intended to retain the front end (11) of the shoe, while said rear retaining means (10 ) are intended to retain the rear end (12). According to a characteristic of the invention, the rear retaining means (10) are arranged sliding on the plate (8) and are connected to the plate (8) by traction means (13) so that the locking of said means retaining means (10) causes the forward movement along F2 and against the rear of the shoe of said rear retaining means (10), said traction means constituting in part the rear retaining means.

Ainsi la plaque proprement dite (8) portant les moyens de retenue est constituée par une paroi horizontale (14) bordée latéralement par deux profils cylindriques de guidage (15, 16). La partie avant de la plaque comprenant deux saillies latérales cylindriques (17, 18) d'axe (XX') et portant les moyens de retenue avant (9).Thus the actual plate (8) carrying the retaining means is constituted by a horizontal wall (14) bordered laterally by two cylindrical guide profiles (15, 16). The front part of the plate comprising two cylindrical lateral projections (17, 18) of axis (XX ') and carrying the front retaining means (9).

Lesdits moyens de retenue avant (9) sont constitués en partie par des éléments fixes solidaires de l'extrémité avant de la plaque et en partie par un élément mobile relié à cette dernière.Said front retaining means (9) consist partly of fixed elements integral with the front end of the plate and partly by a movable element connected to the latter.

Ainsi les éléments fixes solidaires de la plaque sont constitués par deux parois latérales parallèles (19, 20) s'étendant vers le haut prolongées vers l'avant par deux parois frontales convergentes (21a, 21b). Par ailleurs, les deux parois latérales (19, 20) sont reliées à leur extrémité inférieure respective à la plaque tandis que leur extrémité supérieure est reliée par une paroi frontale (65) courbe qui comprend une languette centrale (66) s'étendant vers l'arrière et vers le haut. L'élément mobile est quant à lui constitué par un capot pivotant (25) retenu de façon pivotante sur les deux parois latérales (19, 20) autour d'un axe (X1X'1). Ainsi ledit capot (25) comprend deux bras latéraux de pivotement (26, 27) reliés transversalement par une paroi de retenue (28). Chacun des bras latéraux de pivotement (26, 27) est articulé sur la paroi latérale (19, 20) correspondant autour d'un axe, respectivement (29, 30). Par ailleurs, chacun desdits bras latéraux comprend un trou de passage (31, 32) dans lequel est destinée à être engagée une sangle de retenue (33) comprend des moyens de verrouillage tels qu'une boucle (330), ladite courroie (33) passant sous la plaque (8) pour former une boucle.Thus the fixed elements integral with the plate are constituted by two parallel side walls (19, 20) extending upwardly extended forward by two converging front walls (21a, 21b). Furthermore, the two side walls (19, 20) are connected at their respective lower end to the plate while their upper end is connected by a curved front wall (65) which comprises a central tongue (66) extending towards the 'back and up. The mobile element is itself constituted by a pivoting cover (25) pivotally retained on the two side walls (19, 20) around an axis (X1X'1). Thus said cover (25) comprises two lateral pivot arms (26, 27) connected transversely by a retaining wall (28). Each of the lateral pivot arms (26, 27) is articulated on the corresponding side wall (19, 20) about an axis, respectively (29, 30). Furthermore, each of said lateral arms comprises a passage hole (31, 32) in which is intended to be engaged a retaining strap (33) comprises locking means such as a buckle (330), said belt (33) passing under the plate (8) to form a loop.

Les moyens de retenue arrière (10) ou talonnière sont constitués par une pièce arrière (67) mobile en coulissement vers l'avant selon F2 et vers l'arrière selon F3 sur la plaque (8). Ladite pièce arrière mobile (67) est formée principalement par une paroi d'emboîtement (34) solidaire d'un support arrière coulissant (35). La paroi d'emboîtement (34) est sensiblement verticale et comprend une partie arrière (36) en portion de cylindre prolongée latéralement par deux parois de retenue latérale arrière (37, 38) sensiblement parallèles. Par ailleurs, le support arrière coulissant (35) comprend une paroi horizontale d'appui (39) pour la chaussure et deux logements de coulissements (40, 41), chacun de ceux-ci étant destiné à recevoir le profil cylindrique de guidage correspondant (15, 16).The rear (10) or heel retention means consist of a rear part (67) movable in sliding forwards along F2 and backwards according to F3 on the plate (8). Said movable rear part (67) is formed mainly by an interlocking wall (34) integral with a sliding rear support (35). The interlocking wall (34) is substantially vertical and comprises a rear portion (36) in cylinder portion extended laterally by two substantially parallel rear rear retaining walls (37, 38). Furthermore, the sliding rear support (35) comprises a horizontal support wall (39) for the boot and two sliding housings (40, 41), each of these being intended to receive the corresponding cylindrical guide profile (15, 16).

Notons que la retenue du talon de la chaussure (6) dans la cavité arrière (42) formée par le support (35) et la paroi d'emboîtement (34) est assurée par une courroie arrière (13) constituant les moyens de traction et qui est engagée dans un passant (44) solidaire de la paroi arrière (36), ladite courroie comprenant un verrou de fermeture (45). Dans la position chaussée, la courroie arrière (13) entoure le coup de pied (46) de l'utilisateur. Il est prévu sur la plaque (8) un organe d'accrochage (47) pour retenir et servir d'appui aux moyens de tractions (13) c'est-à-dire pour recevoir la sangle de traction (13). L'organe d'accrochage (47) disposé sur la plaque (8) est formé, par exemple, par une branche transversale centrale (47) dans laquelle est engagée la partie médiane (135) de la sangle de traction (13) dont les deux portions libres (130a, 130b) sont engagées dans le passant (44) en se croisant pour ensuite faire saillie latéralement de part et d'autre du corps de pied (46) de l'utilisateur.Note that the heel of the shoe (6) is retained in the rear cavity (42) formed by the support (35) and the interlocking wall (34) is provided by a rear belt (13) constituting the traction means and which is engaged in a pass (44) integral with the rear wall (36), said belt comprising a closing latch (45). In the road position, the rear strap (13) surrounds the kick (46) of the user. There is provided on the plate (8) a hooking member (47) for retaining and serving as support for the traction means (13), that is to say for receiving the traction strap (13). The attachment member (47) disposed on the plate (8) is formed, for example, by a central transverse branch (47) in which is engaged the middle part (135) of the traction strap (13) whose two free portions (130a, 130b) are engaged in the passer-by (44) crossing each other and then protruding laterally on either side of the foot body (46) of the user.

Les deux extrémités (131a, 131b) étant solidarisées sur le dessus dudit coup de pied (46) grâce à la bouche de verrouillage (45) comme cela est plus particulièrement illustré à la figure 13. Le rapprochement des deux extrémités (131a, 131b) provoque le déplacement vers l'avant selon F2 des moyens de retenue arrière (10) par traction de la sangle de traction (13), la chaussure étant ainsi sollicitée vers l'avant contre la butée avant, le talon étant retenu dans la talonnière par la même sangle. Notons à cet effet que la sangle de traction (13) qui est accrochée sur la plaque (8) par la branche de retenue (47) est telle que ses deux brins passent de chaque côté de la chaussure pour se rejoindre au-dessus du coup de pied et être retenus l'un avec l'autre comme décrit précédemment.The two ends (131a, 131b) being secured on top of said kick (46) thanks to the locking mouth (45) as is more particularly illustrated in Figure 13. The bringing together of the two ends (131a, 131b) causes the rear retention means (10) to move forward according to F2 by pulling the traction strap (13), the shoe being thus urged forward against the front stop, the heel being retained in the heel piece by the same strap. Note for this purpose that the traction strap (13) which is hung on the plate (8) by the retaining branch (47) is such that its two strands pass on each side of the shoe to meet above the blow foot and be retained with each other as described above.

Les figures 12 et 13 illustrent le fonctionnement du dispositif.Figures 12 and 13 illustrate the operation of the device.

La figure 12 montre le dispositif dans sa position ouverte. Dans cette position, les moyens de retenue arrière (10) étant en position de recul tandis que le capot mobile de retenue (25) des moyens de retenue avant (9) est pivoté vers le haut autour de l'axe (X1X'1) selon F4 la courroie avant (33) ainsi que la sangle de traction (13) étant relâchées. Dans la position de recul des moyens de retenue arrière (10) et d'ouverture du capot avant (25) il est alors possible d'introduire la chaussure (6) entre lesdits moyens avant de retenue (9) et lesdits moyens arrière de retenue (10) jusqu'à ce que le dessous (60) de la chaussure (6) soit en appui, d'une- part, sur la surface (14) de la plaque (8) et, d'autre part, sur la paroi d'appui (39).Figure 12 shows the device in its open position. In this position, the rear retaining means (10) being in the retracted position while the movable retaining cover (25) of the front retaining means (9) is pivoted upward about the axis (X1X'1) according to F4 the front belt (33) as well as the traction strap (13) being released. In the rearward position of the rear retaining means (10) and of opening the front cover (25) it is then possible to introduce the boot (6) between said front retaining means (9) and said rear retaining means (10) until the bottom (60) of the shoe (6) is in contact, on the one hand, on the surface (14) of the plate (8) and, on the other hand, on the support wall (39).

Il suffit alors (voir figure 13) pour l'utilisateur de tirer sur les brins libres (131a, 131b) de la courroie de traction (13) pour provoquer le déplacement vers l'avant selon F2 des moyens de retenue arrière (10) et en particulier la pièce arrière mobile (67), et ce, par traction des moyens de traction (13). Le déplacement vers l'avant des moyens de retenue arrière (10) sollicite l'extrémité avant de la chaussure en appui sur l'ensemble des parois avant de la plaque (8). L'utilisateur n'a ensuite qu'à verrouiller sur le coupe de pied (46) la sangle (13) grâce à la boucle de verrouillage (45) après avoir entouré son coup de pied (46) afin de retenir le talon de la chaussure dans la pièce arrière mobile, puis à resserrer la sangle avant (33) ce qui provoque la fermeture du capot avant (25) sur la chaussure, et à la verrouiller grâce à la boucle (330), la chaussure étant alors parfaitement retenue sur la plaque pivotante (8). La chaussure est ainsi retenue fermement.It then suffices (see FIG. 13) for the user to pull on the free strands (131a, 131b) of the traction belt (13) to cause the rearward retention means (10) to move forward along F2 and in particular the movable rear part (67), and this, by traction of the traction means (13). The forward movement of the rear retaining means (10) urges the front end of the shoe to bear on all of the front walls of the plate (8). The user then only has to lock the strap (13) on the foot cutter (46) using the locking loop (45) after having surrounded his kick (46) in order to retain the heel of the shoe in the rear movable part, then tighten the front strap (33) which causes the front cover (25) to close on the shoe, and lock it with the buckle (330), the shoe then being perfectly retained on the pivoting plate (8). The shoe is thus firmly retained.

Notons que la position de l'axe pivotant (X1, X'1) du capot (25) peut être réglable et notamment réglable en hauteur par rapport à la surface (14) de la plaque. On peut ainsi prévoir plusieurs trous (75, 75a, 75b) pour les axes (29, 30) comme cela est représenté à la figure 12.Note that the position of the pivoting axis (X1, X'1) of the cover (25) can be adjustable and in particular adjustable in height relative to the surface (14) of the plate. It is thus possible to provide several holes (75, 75a, 75b) for the axes (29, 30) as shown in FIG. 12.

La figure 15 illustre une variante d'exécution selon laquelle la sangle de traction (13) est constituée par deux portions de sangles indépendantes (13a, 13b).FIG. 15 illustrates an alternative embodiment according to which the traction strap (13) is constituted by two portions of independent straps (13a, 13b).

Bien entendu, l'invention n'est pas limitée aux modes de réalisation décrits et représentés à titre d'exemples, mais elle comprend aussi tous les équivalents techniques ainsi que leurs combinaisons.Of course, the invention is not limited to the embodiments described and shown by way of examples, but it also includes all the technical equivalents and their combinations.
