Description

La présente invention a pour objet un dispositif de fermeture et de serrage pour chaussure de ski comprenant, d'une part, un levier-tendeur articulé sur un support autour d'un axe transversal à la direction de traction et relié à un tirant muni d'un premier moyen d'accrochage et, d'autre part, un second moyen d'accrochage auquel vient s'accrocher le premier moyen d'accrochage, l'un de ces moyens d'accrochage présentant plusieurs crans d'accrochage permettant d'ajuster le serrage, le dispositif comprenant en outre des moyens permettant d'allonger temporairement l'un des moyens d'accrochage.The present invention relates to a device for closure and tightening for ski boot comprising, on the one hand, a tensioning lever articulated on a support around an axis transverse to the direction of traction and connected to a tie rod provided with a first means of attachment and, on the other hand, a second attachment means to which the first attachment means is attached, one of these attachment means having several hooking notches to adjust the tightening, the device further comprising means allowing to temporarily extend one of the means hanging.

L'invention concerne plus particulièrement les chaussures de type dit à quatre crochets.The invention relates more particularly to shoes type says four hooks.

Dans les chaussures de ski comprenant une coque à volume variable et une tige en forme de collier fermée par deux boucles du type décrit dans le brevet US 4 051 611 il est généralement très difficile, en raison de la ri-, gidité relative du collier, d'accrocher du premier coup les deux moyens d'accrochage des boucles du collier dans la position correcte de serrage. Généralement, le skieur accroche tout d'abord les moyens d'accrochage de l'une des bouches dans le premier cran, puis ferme cette boucle ce qui a pour effet de rapprocher les moyens d'accrochage de l'autre bouche et de permettre d'engager ces moyens d'accrochage dans le cran désiré, puis, après avoir fermé cette bouche, il recommence l'opération de fermeture et de serrage de la première bouche. Le cas échéant, il répète également l'opération de serrage avec la seconde boucle et ainsi de suite jusqu'à obtention du serrage désiré. Lors de cette fermeture du collier, il est en outre nécessaire d'amorcer la fermeture du collier à la main en exerçant une pression sur le rabat du collier portant le crochet ou la dentière, ou sur les deux rabats simultanément, de manière à amener ce crochet, respectivement le premier cran de la dentière à portée de l'organe d'accrochage solidaire du levier-tendeur pour effectuer la première fermeture. Cette pression doit être relativement forte pour vaincre la rigidité du collier et elle rend parfois la fermeture du collier peu aisée.In ski boots with a volume shell variable and a collar-shaped rod closed by two loops of the type described in US Pat. No. 4,051,611 it is usually very difficult, due to the ri-, relative gidity of the necklace, to hang on the first try the two means of hooking the loops of the collar in the correct clamping position. Generally, the skier first of all hooks the hooking means of one of the mouths in the first notch, then closes this loop which has the effect of bringing the means of hooking the other mouth and allowing to engage these attachment means in the desired notch, then, after closing that mouth, he starts again the closing and tightening operation of the first mouth. If necessary, it also repeats the operation tightening with the second loop and so on until the desired tightening is obtained. During this closure of the collar, it is also necessary to initiate closing the collar by hand by applying pressure on the collar flap carrying the hook or the denture, or on both flaps simultaneously, so to bring this hook, respectively the first denture notch within reach of the latching member secured to the tensioning lever to perform the first closing. This pressure must be relatively strong to overcome the rigidity of the necklace and it sometimes makes closing the collar is not easy.

Du brevet EP 401 202, conformément au préambule de la revendication 1, on connaít un dispositif de fermeture et de serrage comprenant un levier-tendeur agissant sur un tirant présentant deux lumières oblongues traversées par une barrette du levier-tendeur de telle sorte que ce tirant présente deux points d'articulation différents sur le levier-tendeur. L'articulation est déterminée par les extrémités des lumières. Le tirant est en outre muni d'un organe de verrouillage permettant de verrouiller le tirant en position rétractée dans le levier-tendeur. Un tel tendeur permet donc d'allonger temporairement l'un des moyens d'accrochage du dispositif de fermeture et de serrage. L'utilisation d'un tel levier-tendeur dans une boucle de fermeture d'un collier permettrait donc d'atteindre moins difficilement le cran désiré, mais la longueur des lumières serait généralement trop faible pour atteindre facilement le cran désiré. A cet effet, il serait nécessaire d'allonger les lumières, ce qui obligerait à allonger démesurément le tirant et le levier-tendeur.From patent EP 401,202, in accordance with the preamble of claim 1, we know a closing device and clamping device comprising an active tensioning lever on a tie rod with two oblong lights crossed by a bar of the tensioning lever of such so that this tie rod has two points of articulation different on the tensioner lever. The joint is determined by the ends of the lights. Pulling it is further provided with a locking member allowing to lock the tie rod in the retracted position in the tensioning lever. Such a tensioner therefore allows temporarily extend one of the attachment means of the closing and tightening device. Use of such a tensioning lever in a closing loop a necklace would therefore make it less difficult to reach the notch desired, but the length of the lights would generally be too weak to reach easily the desired notch. For this purpose, it would be necessary to lengthen the lights, which would require lengthening excessively the tie rod and the tensioner lever.

Du brevet FR 2 609 604 on connaít par ailleurs une bouclerie comprenant un levier-tendeur muni d'une lumière longitudinale dans laquelle coulisse librement l'extrémité d'une boucle. L'extrémité de la lumière la plus proche de l'axe de pivotement du levier-tendeur correspond au point d'attache usuel de la boucle au levier-tendeur assurant une traction de serrage sur la boucle. Un tel levier-tendeur permet d'obtenir un allongement considérable de la boucle constituant l'un des moyens d'accrochage du dispositif de fermeture et de serrage, mais il nécessite un levier-tendeur relativement très long. En outre, lors de la fermeture, dans la première partie de la rotation du levier-tendeur, l'effet de levier est nul, ce qui nécessite un effort particulier de la part de l'utilisateur qui exerce pratiquement une traction directe sur l'organe d'accrochage alors que le rayon de serrage du levier-tendeur est d'autant plus court que la lumière s'étend près de l'axe d'articulation du levier-tendeur sur son support.From patent FR 2 609 604 we also know a buckles comprising a tensioning lever provided with a light longitudinal in which the end slides freely of a loop. The most light end close to the pivot axis of the tensioner lever corresponds at the usual point of attachment of the loop to the tensioner lever ensuring tightening traction on the buckle. Such a tensioning lever makes it possible to obtain an elongation considerable of the loop constituting one of the means attachment of the closing and tightening device, but it requires a relatively very tensioning lever long. In addition, when closing, in the first part of the tensioner lever rotation, leverage is zero, which requires a special effort of on the part of the user who exercises practically a direct traction on the fastening member while the tightening radius of the tensioner lever is all the more short as the light extends near the axis of articulation of the tensioning lever on its support.

Du modèle d'utilité DE-U-94 06 540, on connaít un dispositif de fermeture et de serrage pour chaussure à entrée arrière comprenant un levier-tendeur pouvant se déplacer le long d'un support dans lequel il est guidé dans un mouvement de roto-translation, le mouvement se terminant par une rotation pure comme les leviers-tendeurs traditionnels. Ce dispositif permet d'allonger la course du moyen d'accrochage relié au levier-tendeur. Appliqué à la fermeture d'un collier, un tel dispositif permettrait d'aller chercher d'emblée le cran désiré, mais comme dans l'exécution citée précédemment, l'effet de levier est nul pendant le déplacement en translation du levier-tendeur. Ce dispositif nécessite en outre un support de levier-tendeur relativement volumineux.From the utility model DE-U-94 06 540, we know a device shoe closure and tightening rear entry including a tensioning lever which can be move along a support in which it is guided in a rotational movement, the movement is ending with a pure rotation like the tensioning levers traditional. This device makes it possible to lengthen the stroke of the attachment means connected to the tensioning lever. Applied to the closure of a necklace, such device would allow us to immediately seek the notch desired, but as in the execution cited above, leverage is zero during displacement in translation of the tensioning lever. These measures also requires a relatively tight tension lever support bulky.

L'invention a pour but de faciliter l'amorçage de la fermeture du collier. The invention aims to facilitate the initiation of the collar closure.

A cet effet, le dispositif selon l'invention est caractérisé en ce que les moyens permettant d'allonger temporairement l'un des moyens d'accrochage sont constitués d'un organe d'accrochage auxiliaire déployable et escamotable.To this end, the device according to the invention is characterized in that the means for temporarily lengthening one of the hanging means are constituted a deployable auxiliary hooking member and retractable.

L'escamotage de l'organe d'accrochage auxiliaire peut se faire notamment par rotation et rabattement ou par coulissement.The retraction of the auxiliary fastening member can be done in particular by rotation and folding or by sliding.

L'organe d'accrochage auxiliaire pouvant être replié, rabattu ou rétracté sur, respectivement dans le tirant, respectivement la dentière ou la crémaillère, il peut être aussi long que le tirant du levier-tendeur, respectivement que la dentière ou crémaillère fixée à la chaussure sans que l'encombrement du dispositif de fermeture soit augmenté.The auxiliary fastening member being able to be folded back, folded or retracted on, respectively in the tie rod, respectively the denture or the rack, it can be as long as the tensioner lever, respectively that the denture or rack fixed to the shoe without the bulk of the closure device be increased.

Lorsque l'organe d'accrochage auxiliaire est déployé, sa longueur est telle qu'il est extrêmement facile de l'amener à portée de l'autre moyen d'accrochage. Une traction peut ensuite être exercée sur l'organe d'accrochage auxiliaire en utilisant toute la force du levier-tendeur. L'autre boucle du collier peut ensuite être accrochée et fermée avec l'aide ou sans l'aide d'un moyen d'accrochage auxiliaire. L'utilisateur revient ensuite à la première boucle pour l'ouvrir, escamoter l'organe d'accrochage auxiliaire puis refermer la boucle normalement en utilisant ses moyens d'accrochage.When the auxiliary fastening member is deployed, its length is such that it is extremely easy to bring it within reach of the other attachment means. A traction can then be exerted on the fastening member auxiliary using all the force of the tensioner lever. The other loop of the necklace can then be hung and closed with help or without help an auxiliary attachment means. User returns then at the first loop to open it, retract the auxiliary fastening member and then close the loop normally using its attachment means.

L'opération de fermeture du collier est ainsi grandement facilitée. The operation of closing the collar is thus greatly facilitated.

  • Les figures 1 et 2 représentent une crémaillère constituée d'une plaquette 1 dans laquelle sont découpés des crans 2 ainsi qu'un trou 3 pour la fixation de la crémaillère à la chaussure au moyen d'un rivet. Dans cette crémaillère vient s'accrocher un crochet 4 solidaire d'un tirant articulé sur un levier-tendeur non représenté. A l'extrémité de la crémaillère 1 en regard du crochet 4, est articulé une boucle auxiliaire 5 autour d'un axe 6 transversal à la crémaillère. Cette boucle 5 est ici constituée de deux bras parallèles 7 et 8 reliés à leur extrémité par une barrette 9, le tout définissant une boucle de forme sensiblement rectangulaire.Figures 1 and 2 show a rack made up a plate 1 in which are cut notches 2 as well as a hole 3 for fixing the rack to the shoe by means of a rivet. In this rack hooks a hook 4 secured of a tie rod articulated on a tensioning lever not shown. At the end of rack 1 opposite the hook 4, an auxiliary loop 5 is articulated around an axis 6 transverse to the rack. This loop 5 here consists of two parallel arms 7 and 8 connected at their end by a bar 9, the whole defining a loop of substantially rectangular shape.

    A la figure 1, la boucle auxiliaire 5 est représentée en position déployée, de telle sorte que sa barrette 9 est à proximité du crochet 4. Dans cette position déployée il est alors aisé d'accrocher le crochet 4 sur la barrette 9 de la boucle 5.In Figure 1, the auxiliary loop 5 is shown in the deployed position, so that its bar 9 is near the hook 4. In this deployed position it is then easy to hang the hook 4 on the bar 9 of the loop 5.

    Après fermeture du levier-tendeur agissant sur le crochet 4, l'autre boucle du collier est fermée de la même manière, puis la boucle représentée est à nouveau ouverte, le crochet 4 est décroché et la boucle 5 est rabattue autour et sur la crémaillère 1 comme représenté à la figure 2. Dans cette position, on remarquera que l'encombrement en longueur de la crémaillère 1 n'est pas augmenté.After closing the tensioning lever acting on the hook 4, the other loop of the collar is closed in the same way way, then the loop shown is opened again, hook 4 is off and buckle 5 is folded down around and on rack 1 as shown in Figure 2. In this position, we will notice that the overall length of the rack 1 is not not increased.

    La figure 3 représente un exemple d'exécution dans laquelle l'organe d'accrochage auxiliaire se déploye par coulissement. Cette figure représente à nouveau une crémaillère constituée d'une plaquette 10 dans laquelle sont découpés des crans 11 et un trou 12 pour la fixation de la crémaillère à la chaussure. L'organe d'accrochage auxiliaire est constitué ici d'une boucle rectangulaire 13 constituée d'un fil d'acier dont les extrémités s'étendent de chaque côté de la crémaillère en passant dans deux tunnels de guidage 14 et 15. Les extrémités du fil d'acier 13 sont ancrées dans deux coulisseaux 16 et 17 pouvant coulisser dans des rainures 18 ménagées sur une partie de la longueur des deux côtés de la plaquette 10. A l'extrémité de chacun des coulisseaux 16 et 17 opposée à la boucle 13, sont accrochées les extrémités d'un ressort à boudin 19 logé dans une gorge ménagée dans la face inférieure de la plaquette 10, à l'extrémité de celle-ci entourant son trou de fixation 12. Cette gorge délimite un appui 20 en demi-cercle autour duquel s'enroule le ressort 19. Les coulisseaux 16 et 17 présentent une surface cannelée ou rugueuse facilitant leur entraínement à la main. En position de repos, la boucle 13 est rétractée sous la traction du ressort 19. Lorsque le skieur désire utiliser la boucle auxiliaire 13 pour une première fermeture de la boucle de la chaussure, il saisit les coulisseaux 16 et 17 entre le pouce et l'index et tire ceux-ci contre l'action du ressort 19 de manière à déployer la boucle 13 comme représenté en trait mixte, références 13', 16'. Le relâchement de la traction fait que sous l'action du ressort 19 la boucle auxiliaire 13 est ramenée automatiquement en position rétractée.FIG. 3 represents an exemplary embodiment in which the auxiliary fastening member is deployed by sliding. This figure again represents a rack consisting of a plate 10 in which are cut notches 11 and a hole 12 for fixing from the rack to the shoe. The attachment member auxiliary here consists of a rectangular loop 13 made of a steel wire whose ends extend on each side of the rack in passing through two guide tunnels 14 and 15. The ends steel wire 13 are anchored in two slides 16 and 17 can slide in grooves 18 spanned over part of the length of the two sides of the plate 10. At the end of each of the slides 16 and 17 opposite the loop 13, are hooked the ends of a coil spring 19 housed in a groove in the underside of the plate 10, at the end thereof surrounding its fixing hole 12. This groove defines a support 20 in a semicircle around which the spring 19 is wound. The slides 16 and 17 have a grooved surface or rough facilitating their training by hand. In the rest position, the loop 13 is retracted under the tension of the spring 19. When the skier wishes use the auxiliary loop 13 for a first closing the shoe buckle, he grabs the slides 16 and 17 between thumb and forefinger and pulls these against the action of the spring 19 so as to deploy loop 13 as shown in phantom, references 13 ', 16'. The relaxation of the traction that under the action of the spring 19 the auxiliary loop 13 is automatically returned to the retracted position.

    L'organe auxiliaire d'accrochage peut également être monté du côté du levier-tendeur. Les figures 4 et 5 illustrent deux exemples d'exécution.The auxiliary attachment member can also be mounted on the side of the tensioning lever. Figures 4 and 5 illustrate two examples of execution.

    La figure 4 représente un organe d'accrochage 21 relié par un tirant 22 à un levier-tendeur non représenté. Cet organe d'accrochage 21 est constitué d'une pièce présentant sur au moins une partie de sa longueur un profil en U renversé. A l'extrémité de la pièce 21, les ailes du profil en U sont reliées par une barrette 23 constituant le crochet proprement dit, barrette destinée à venir s'engager entre les dents d'une dentière non représentée, fixée sur le rabat opposé du collier constituant la tige de la chaussure. La barrette 23 constitue simultanément l'axe d'articulation de l'extrémité d'une boucle auxiliaire 24 constituée, comme dans la première forme d'exécution, de deux bras parallèles reliés par une barrette 25. En position de non utilisation, la boucle 24 est rabattue sur l'organe d'accrochage 21. Dans cette position rabattue les bras de la boucle auxiliaire 24 viennent se placer de chaque côté de l'organe d'accrochage 21, en épousant le profil de ce dernier et la barrette 25 vient se loger dans une gorge 26 de l'organe d'accrochage 21. Le déployement de la boucle auxiliaire 24 s'effectue par rotation. Une position intermédiaire 24', 25' est représentée en trait mixte.FIG. 4 represents a hooking member 21 connected by a tie rod 22 to a tension lever not shown. This attachment member 21 consists of a part having over at least part of its length a inverted U profile. At the end of room 21, the wings of the U-profile are connected by a bar 23 constituting the hook proper, bar intended coming to engage between the teeth of a denture not shown, attached to the opposite flap of the collar constituting the upper of the shoe. Bar 23 simultaneously constitutes the axis of articulation of the end an auxiliary loop 24 constituted, as in the first embodiment, two parallel arms connected by a bar 25. In the no position use, the loop 24 is folded over the member hooking 21. In this folded position the arms of the auxiliary loop 24 are placed from each side of the fastening member 21, matching the profile of the latter and the bar 25 is housed in a groove 26 of the hooking member 21. The deployment of the auxiliary loop 24 is performed by rotation. A intermediate position 24 ', 25' is shown in mixed line.

    La figure 5 représente une dentière 27 constituant l'organe d'accrochage relié par un tirant à un levier-tendeur non représenté et destinée à venir s'accrocher sur un crochet non représenté. La dentière 27 est donc vue de dessous. L'organe auxiliaire d'accrochage est constitué ici d'une barre 28, de profil rectangulaire, montée coulissante longitudinalement au milieu de la dentière 27 et munie à son extrémité d'une dent 29 présentant un profil identique au profil des dents 30 de la dentière 27. A son autre extrémité, la barre 28 présente un élargissement 31 coulissant dans une rainure présentant un profil en T s'ouvrant sur le dessus de la dentière 27 (en-dessous dans le dessin). L'extrémité visible de cette rainure 32 forme butée pour la partie 31 de la barre représentée dans sa position déployée. La partie 31 présente, vu en bout, également un profil en T (figure 6) de manière à présenter une partie 33 faisant légèrement saillie sur la dentière 11 de manière à permettre l'entraínement de la barre 28 au moyen du doigt. FIG. 5 represents a dentiere 27 constituting the attachment member connected by a tie rod to a tensioning lever not shown and intended to hang on on a hook not shown. The denture 27 is therefore view from below. The auxiliary attachment member is here consisting of a bar 28, of rectangular profile, sliding climb longitudinally in the middle of the dentiere 27 and provided at its end with a tooth 29 having a profile identical to the profile of the teeth 30 of the denture 27. At its other end, the bar 28 has a widening 31 sliding in a groove with a T profile opening on the top of the dentiere 27 (below in the drawing). The end visible from this groove 32 forms a stop for the part 31 of the bar shown in its deployed position. Part 31 presents, seen at the end, also a profile in T (figure 6) so as to present a part 33 slightly protruding from the denture 11 so to allow the training of the bar 28 by means on point.

    Un léger ressort pourrait être disposé entre l'élargissement 31 de la barre 28 et l'extrémité de la rainure 32 pour assurer la rétraction automatique de la dent auxiliaire 29. En position rétractée, cette dent 29 vient se loger dans le créneau formé dans la première dent 30 de la dentière pour le passage de la barre 28 de manière à occuper exactement la matière enlevée à cette première dent.A light spring could be placed between the enlargement 31 of bar 28 and the end of the groove 32 to ensure automatic tooth retraction auxiliary 29. In the retracted position, this tooth 29 comes to lodge in the niche formed in the first tooth 30 of the denture for the passage of the bar 28 so as to occupy exactly the material removed at that first tooth.

    La dent auxiliaire 29 pourrait être également déployée par une traction directe sur cette dent au moyen du doigt.The auxiliary tooth 29 could also be deployed by direct traction on this tooth by means of the finger.

    Une cinquième forme d'exécution est représentée aux figures 7 et 8. Ces figures présentent un crochet fixe constitué d'une première plaque 34 présentant une découpe rectangulaire 35 constituant le crochet proprement dit et formant boíte avec une seconde plaque 34' présentant un trou 36 pour sa fixation à la chaussure au moyen d'un rivet. Ce crochet est destiné à coopérer avec un autre crochet actionné par un levier-tendeur. A l'intérieur de la boíte formée par les plaques 34 et 34' est formé un logement 38 de forme trapézoïdale. Dans ce logement 38 est logé un anneau fendu 37 en acier, également de forme trapézoïdale. Cet anneau constitue l'organe d'accrochage auxiliaire. Son extrémité d'accrochage est recourbée. Dans une zone 39, la boíte formée par les plaques 34 et 34' est resserrée verticalement de manière à former deux guidages 40 et 41 pour l'anneau fendu 37.A fifth embodiment is shown in the figures 7 and 8. These figures show a fixed hook consisting of a first plate 34 having a cutout rectangular 35 constituting the hook properly said and forming box with a second plate 34 ' having a hole 36 for its attachment to the shoe by means of a rivet. This hook is intended to cooperate with another hook activated by a tensioning lever. AT the inside of the box formed by the plates 34 and 34 'is formed a housing 38 of trapezoidal shape. In this housing 38 is housed a split ring 37 in steel, also trapezoidal. This ring constitutes the auxiliary fastening member. Its end hooking is bent. In an area 39, the box formed by the plates 34 and 34 'is tightened vertically so as to form two guides 40 and 41 for the split ring 37.

    Dans la position rétractée représentée à la figure 8, l'anneau fendu 37 est de préférence déjà pré-tendu de telle manière qu'il à tendance à s'ouvrir. La forme trapézoïdale du logement a donc tendance à empêcher l'anneau fendu de sortir de son logement. Lorsque le skieur à besoin d'utiliser l'anneau auxiliaire 37, il le déploye en exerçant une traction sur celui-ci. Après usage, l'anneau fendu 37 est repoussé dans son logement. La forme trapézoïdale du ressort et de son logement a pour effet de faciliter ou d'accompagner ce retrait.In the retracted position shown in Figure 8, the split ring 37 is preferably already pre-tensioned with such that it tends to open. The form trapezoidal housing therefore tends to prevent the split ring to come out of its housing. When the skier needs to use the auxiliary ring 37, it deploys by exerting traction on it. After use, the split ring 37 is pushed back into its housing. The trapezoidal shape of the spring and its housing has the effect of facilitating or accompanying this withdrawal.

    Dans les exemples décrits, la crémaillère peut être remplacée par une dentière et inversement. Par ailleurs, une dentière peut être considérée comme étant une forme particulière de crémaillère.In the examples described, the rack can be replaced by a denture and vice versa. Otherwise, a denture can be considered to be a particular form of rack.
