Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a snowshoe and more particularly the device for retaining the boot thereon.
  • 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 walkers or sportsmen who go for hikes and walks, or even competitions.
  • the snowshoe according to the invention solves the problem of retaining the boot and is of the type comprising a front retaining member in which the front end of the said boot is retained which is stressed therein by at least one traction member towards the characterized in that the front retaining device is an elastic envelope constituted by a set of walls of flexible material forming a retaining cavity at least open towards the rear, and is characterized in that the retaining cavity comprises two walls retaining lateral converging forward and whose convergence and their distance from each other is such that the front end of the shoe is held laterally by these walls at two lateral points distant from each other from a greater distance possible.
  • the distance between the two lateral retention points of the shoe is between half the width of the shoe and the width of the latter, so that the end of the shoe is retained by its lateral zones outside the central front end area.
  • the elastic envelope comprises a front hole.
  • it may include a more distant front wall or made of a more flexible material or of a reduced thickness.
  • the traction member consists of an elastic loop whose lateral traction straps are extensions of the respective side walls.
  • the upper wall of the envelope is constituted by the covering of two tongues which are the respective extensions of the corresponding side walls and which are integral with one another by connecting means.
  • Figure 1 is a top view of a racket equipped with the shoe retention device.
  • Figure 2 is a side view with the shoe.
  • Figure 3 is a rear perspective view of the retaining device according to the invention.
  • Figure 4 is a side view of the restraining device in its rest position of non-use with, in broken lines, its active restraint position.
  • Figure 5 is a top view of the retaining device in its active position of use with, in dashed lines, its active position of retention.
  • Figures 6, 7 and 8 are schematic top views with partial cutaway for views 7 and 8, showing the device in more detail, Figure 6 being a view in the rest position, Figure 7 being a view in an intermediate position where the front of the shoe is engaged, while Figure 8 illustrates the retaining position.
  • Figure 9 shows in more detail the front end of the shoe.
  • Figure 10 is an alternative embodiment with adjustment.
  • FIGS 11, 12, 13 and 14 show another embodiment.
  • Figure 11 is a view similar to Figure 3.
  • Figure 12 is an illustration that the two upper cover tabs are disconnected.
  • Figures 13 and 14 are cross-sectional views according to two different width settings.
  • Figure 15 illustrates an execution detail
  • FIGS 16 and 17 illustrate alternative embodiments.
  • FIGS 18 and 19 illustrate another alternative embodiment.
  • 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.
  • the racket designated by the general reference (1) is in the form of an openwork plate of general plane of symmetry (P) fixed under the shoe and which consists of a main frame (2), consisting of a wall peripheral (3) delimiting an interior zone (4), comprising a set of internal walls supporting the retaining device more commonly called attachment (5), intended to retain the shoe (6) of the user.
  • Said main frame has, for example, a generally elongated shape extending at the rear by a tail (7) of reduced width, while the front is raised and of substantially pointed shape to constitute the front spatula (8).
  • the racket can have any other shape without departing from the scope of the invention.
  • the user's shoe (6) is retained on the racket proper by the retaining device according to the invention bearing the general reference (5), and which consists mainly of a front retaining member (9) in which is retains the front end (10) of the shoe (6). Furthermore, said shoe is urged forward (AV) in the front retaining member (9) by a forward pulling member (11).
  • the retaining device (5) is a one-piece assembly of walls, made of flexible material such as rubber or elastomer.
  • said device comprises the front retaining member (9) which is extended laterally and rearward, by two traction straps (12a, 12b) joining at the rear to form a one-piece retaining loop (13) for the shoe.
  • Said loop (13) being such that the traction straps (12a, 12b) are arranged laterally to the shoe to pass behind the heel (14) of the latter.
  • the loop in the retracted rest position, as illustrated in Figures 4, 5, 6 and 7, the loop has a retracted length (L1) while in the retaining position as illustrated in Figures 4, 5 and 8 , its stretched length (L2) is greater than its retracted length (L1).
  • L1 retracted length
  • L2 stretched length
  • the front retaining member (9) is formed by a set of walls made of flexible elastic and deformable material (15a, 15b, 15c, 15d). Namely, a lower wall (15a), two side walls (15b, 15c) and an upper wall (15d), the assembly of these walls thus constituting an elastic envelope (16) forming a cavity (17) at least open towards the rear (AR) in which is engaged the front end (10) of the shoe.
  • the two side walls (15b, 15c) converge forward at a point O and the lateral dimensions of the cavity (17) are such that the front end (10) of the shoe is held laterally at two lateral points (A, B) distant by the greatest possible distance (d).
  • the distance (d) being, for example, between half the width (l: 2) of the shoe and the width of the latter (l).
  • the side walls (15b, 15c) are such that the front of the shoe is retained in priority, or even only by its lateral zones (18a, 18b) but not by its central front end zone (18c).
  • the shoe is retained in a substantially horizontal plane along three retention points (A, B, C) forming a retention triangulation making it possible to avoid any lateral pivoting of the rear retention point C of the shoe according to R1 or R2 and thus ensure precise lateral support of the shoe on the racket.
  • the front elastic casing (16) advantageously includes a front hole (19) so that the central front end zone (18c) of the shoe can not be in support at the front of the envelope and that the maintenance of the front of the shoe is done at two lateral points A, B, as according to the invention.
  • the buckle can have an adjustable length, as illustrated in FIG. 10.
  • the strap constituting the buckle is in two parts joining together comprising an adjustment system (20) which can be of any type and in particular like that represented by way of example.
  • the rear retaining loop (13) is provided in elastic material, but it could be otherwise.
  • the strap (s) constituting it may be made of non-elastic material but nevertheless flexible and deformable, comprising means for adjusting the length or only an elastic part.
  • FIGS. 11 to 14 illustrate an alternative embodiment according to which the volume dimension and, in particular the width between the two side walls (15b, 15c), is adjustable.
  • the upper wall (15d) is constituted by the covering of the two tongues (151, 152), secured in an adjustable manner with each other, by adjustable connecting means (21).
  • the first of the tongues (15) is formed by an extension of the first side wall (15b), while the second of the tongues (152) is formed by an extension of the second side wall (15c).
  • the two tongues overlap at least partially as illustrated in FIGS.
  • the lateral retention of the front end of the shoe can be done with a front casing which includes a front hole (19) as shown in Figures 1 to 14 and in Figure 15, but also with a envelope comprising a front wall (190), as illustrated in FIGS. 16 and 17.
  • the front wall is sufficiently distant from the central front end zone (18c) so that it there is a space (e) between said front wall (190) and the front (18c) of the shoe.
  • FIG. 17 illustrates an alternative embodiment according to which the envelope does not have a front hole (19) as before, but an elastic front wall (190) of thickness thinner than the thickness of the side walls (15b, 15c ) so that the central front end zone (18c) of the shoe can be supported therewith without said front wall exerting a significant effort on the shoe or at least a much less effort.
  • FIGS 18 and 19 illustrate another alternative embodiment according to which the traction loop (13) comprises a rear fitting part (25) made of rigid material such as plastic. Said rear fitting part (25) being connected to the rear part of the elastic loop and comprising two side walls (25a, 25b) retaining the rear end of the shoe. Furthermore, this said part may advantageously include a gripping projection (25c) extending rearward (AR) allowing the user to more easily pull on the buckle during putting on.
  • a gripping projection 25c
  • AR rearward
