Definitions

  • the present invention relates to snowshoes and skis hiking, which is used for progression on snow by a walking movement.
  • the mounting plate articulated ski is blocked on the upper face of the ski by a system locking device which retains the rear end of the plate to close to the upper ski face.
  • the locking device is generally a sliding drawer, sliding longitudinally on the ski.
  • Some snowshoes also have a hook plate locking device pivoting on the racket body along a transverse axis parallel to the upper side of racket, and coming to engage in a groove cross section of the fixing plate. These devices have either difficulty in maneuvering when unlocking or locking when the latching is rigid, i.e. locking efficiency insufficient when leaving flexibility or residual play at locking.
  • a fixing ski with articulated plate and locking wedge comprising a elongated body mounted to pivot about a perpendicular intermediate axis on the upper face of the ski.
  • the body has a narrow elongated shape, having a first end with an inclined face intended to retain selectively also tilted rear end of a plate of fixing, and a second end carrying an elastic stop in the form a spring with a removable rigid rod.
  • the shim can be placed in a first position to lock the plate by its first end, a second position rotated 180 ° to form a wedge elastic under the plate, and a third transverse position releasing selectively the mounting plate.
  • the wedge body held by a bolt, tightened by a top nut, slides in rotation on a circular plate fixed on the upper surface of the ski.
  • a structure hold does not have sufficient mechanical strength, in particular to withstand biased or laterally oriented forces on the body in the hold position.
  • the device described in this document does not provide good locking efficiency.
  • document US-A-4 392 666 describes a ski binding with locking wedge, the wedge body consisting of a strip folded and narrow metal, which is not likely to have a sufficient mechanical resistance for oblique or lateral forces in wedge position.
  • the problem proposed by the present invention is to design a new locking wedge structure presenting to the excellent locking efficiency, very easy maneuverability, high mechanical resistance, compatible lightness with the current conditions of use, and a low production cost and adaptation.
  • the climbing wedge structure must have sufficient mechanical strength capable of withstanding oblique or lateral forces in the wedge position, without deformation or abnormal wear.
  • the invention thus aims to achieve a particular structure of connection between the cleat and the racket or ski body, providing the benefits sought.
  • a snowshoe snow or a ski is provided with a boot binding articulated around an anterior transverse axis of rotation, and is provided a retaining wedge on the upper face of the snowshoe or ski.
  • the shim includes a shim body mounted to pivot about an axis intermediate perpendicular to the upper surface of snowshoe or ski, the wedge body being shaped to selectively retain near the the upper face of snowshoe or ski the rear end of binding or shoe in a functional orientation of body locking, to selectively release the fixation and shoe in a functional unlocking orientation of the body, and to form selectively support under the posterior end of binding or shoe in a functional setting orientation of the body ;
  • the wedge body comprises, on its underside, at least one first circular rib, centered on the intermediate axis, taking support by its crest on the upper surface of snowshoe or ski for form a wide support base for the hold body taking up the efforts of body flexion away from the intermediate axis both in the direction longitudinal than in
  • the circular base rib can advantageously be formed of a ring attached to the surface snowshoe or ski upper, fitted with positioning lugs protruding from its lower edge and engaging in holes snowshoe or ski upper face, ring and wedge bodies being made of plastics having identical or similar mechanical strengths with good anti-wear properties.
  • the first and second circular ribs are connected by at least one boss cooperating with notches in the base rib to ensure braking in rotation of the hold body in the functional orientations for locking, unlocking and wedging.
  • the circular groove comprises four bosses cooperating with four notches in the base rib, the bosses and notches being oriented obliquely crosswise with respect to the axis longitudinal of the snowshoe or ski.
  • a lockable climbing block 1 is adapted to a snowshoe 2 provided with a fixing plate 3 articulated around a axis of rotation 4 transverse anterior.
  • Plate 3 is provided with a stop anterior 5 fixed, and a posterior stop 6 whose position longitudinal is adjustable and lockable on a rack 7 of the plate 3. It is thus possible to fit shoe size 3 on the plate different.
  • the racket body 8 has a rigid rear range 9, shaped to receive and hold the locking ascender 1 according to the invention.
  • the wedge 1 is formed of a monobloc body 10, mounted to pivot about an axis intermediate 11 generally perpendicular to the underside 12 of the wedge 1 or face intended to bear against the upper face 13 of the racket as shown in Figure 2.
  • the intermediate axis 11 is perpendicular to the upper face 13 of the racket.
  • the one-piece body 10 comprises, in the embodiment shown, a first peripheral zone 14 comprising a part upper 15 radially protruding, i.e. relatively distant from axis 11, connected by a lower shoulder 16 to a lower part 17 radially set back, that is to say closer to the axis 11.
  • the body 10 includes a second peripheral zone 18 radially entirely set back, and a third peripheral zone 19 radially prominent, i.e. relatively distant from the axis intermediate 11.
  • the third radially prominent peripheral zone 19 of wedge is diametrically opposite the first peripheral zone 14.
  • the first peripheral zone 14 includes a first face upper 20, generally planar and parallel to the lower face 12 or slightly inclined, and separated from said lower face 12 by a distance constituting a wedge at a first height H1, for example about 15 millimeters.
  • the third radially prominent peripheral zone 19 has a second upper face 21 which is generally flat and inclined, constituting a wedge at a second height H2, for example around 35 millimeters.
  • the upper faces 20 and 21 of the protruding parts or protruding are advantageously inclined substantially according to the inclination of the fixing plate 3 which bears on them.
  • the one-piece body 10 comprises, on its lower face 12, concentric circular ribs and grooves centered on the axis intermediate 11, such as the ribs 23 and 24, and the groove 26, engaging in corresponding concentric grooves and ribs of the upper face 13 of racket.
  • the range rear 9 of the racket 2 comprises a concentric rib 28, before engaging in the groove 26 of the wedge 1. This engagement is better shown in figure 10.
  • the outer rib 24 of the one-piece body 10 preferably has a outer diameter of at least 40 millimeters, preferably 50 approximately millimeters, defining a wide support base of the body 10 for effectively withstand the stresses suffered by the hold.
  • the body 10 of the hold 1 is retained on the racket 2 or the ski by a central rotation shaft 29 such as screws, rivets, bolts or insert.
  • the body 10 of wedge has a blind hole 111, open on its underside, and in which screws in force the rod of a screw 29 forming the central shaft of rotation.
  • the screw rod crosses with clearance a corresponding hole 100 of the racket 2.
  • Racket 2 has an upper central rib 27 concentric, bordering the upper hole of the racket hole 100, and a concentric lower central rib 127, bordering the lower orifice of the racket hole 100.
  • the wedge body 10 has a lower barrel 22, cylindrical with circular section, centered on the intermediate axis 11, and length suitable for crossing the racket hole 100 and coming in flush with the lower central rib 127.
  • the barrel 22 is separated of the intermediate rib 23 by a circular groove 25.
  • the head of the screw 29 bears against the edge of the lower barrel 22, and is in sliding support on the edge of the lower central rib 127, possibly with the interposition of a washer. Screw head 29 thus retains the screw under the underside of the racket 2.
  • At least one of the concentric grooves for example the groove 26 of the shim 1, comprises at least one boss such as the boss 30, cooperating with notches such as the notch 31 of the rib corresponding 28, to ensure braking in rotation of the wedge 1 in its functional locking, unlocking and wedging.
  • four notches 31 are arranged crosswise and oriented obliquely to the axis longitudinal and to the transverse axis of the racket body, for example at 45 °.
  • the bosses 30 of the body 10 holds are four in number, and according to the same orientations to 45 °.
  • the rotation of the wedge 1 away from the functional orientations is authorized by the elastic deformation of the upper face 13 of racket, in the posterior range 9, deformation which allows the exit bosses 30 outside the corresponding notches such as the notch 31 during a forced rotation of the hold 1.
  • the wedge 1 When it is adapted to the racket 2, the wedge 1 is positioned on the upper face 13 of racket 2 with its axis intermediate 11 located at a distance from the rear end 32 of fixing plate 3 which is greater than the eccentricity of the parts in shrinkage 17 or 18 and less than the offset of the parts protruding 15 or protruding 19 of wedge. Thus positioned, wedge 1 can be pivoted around its axis 11 between several orientations functional.
  • Figures 11 and 12 illustrate a first orientation functional locking, in which the first peripheral zone 14 of shim is oriented towards the fixing plate 3. In this position, the rear end 32 of the fixing plate 3 is engaged and retained under the lower shoulder 16 of the first peripheral zone 14 wedge, for its locking, preventing the lifting of the plate fixing 3.
  • Figures 13 and 14 illustrate a second orientation function of the hold 1, or orientation of release or unlocking.
  • the wedge 1 is pivoted with its second peripheral zone 18 oriented towards the fixing plate 3.
  • the end posterior 32 of the fixing plate 3 can be lifted freely. We thus allows the free pivoting of the fixing plate 3 around its transverse axis 4.
  • Figures 15 and 16 illustrate another orientation of the hold 1, or first functional orientation of wedging.
  • the shim 1 is pivoted with its first zone device 14 oriented towards the fixing plate 3, but the attachment 3 being previously lifted.
  • the end posterior 32 of the fixing plate 3 is above the wedge 1, and can pivot around its transverse axis 4 until it comes to rest on the upper face 20 of the first peripheral zone 14.
  • Figures 17 and 18 illustrate another orientation of the hold 1, or second functional orientation of wedging.
  • the shim 1 is pivoted with its zone radially prominent peripheral 19 oriented towards the plate fixing 3, the fixing plate 3 being previously raised above of the wedge 1.
  • the rear end 32 of the plate attachment 3 can lift freely and allow the pivoting of the plate 3 around its transverse axis 4, until it comes to rest on the upper face 21 of the radially prominent peripheral zone 19.
  • hold 1 ensures both great ease of maneuvering of the hold 1 by simple rotation, the wedge being always accessible for an operation by hand. Also, the particular shape of the wedge body 10 ensures a effective hold of the hold 1 on the racket or the ski, and allows a good recovery of mechanical stresses undergone by the hold during use.
  • the circular base rib 28, having the notches 31, is formed a ring 128 attached to the upper surface 13 of the racket or ski, fitted with positioning pins 129 protruding from its lower edge and engaging in corresponding holes 229 of the upper face 13 snowshoeing or skiing.
  • the ring 128 and the body 10 are produced in mechanically resistant plastics with good anti-wear properties. This prevents the bosses 30 causing a premature wear or premature deformation of the base rib circular 28, when the racket or ski body 2 is formed of a plastic material which is malleable or exhibits less resistance to wear and abrasion.
  • the base rib 28 carries by its crest in the bottom of the groove 26.
  • assembly of the wedge body 10 on the racket body 2 is carried out by the screw 29, the rod of which is forcibly screwed into the blind hole 111 of the wedge body 10.
  • a washer 130 made of elastic material compressible, is inserted between the head of the screw 29 and a shoulder inside 131 of the racket hole 100.
  • the lower central rib 127 racket contains the spring washer 130 radially.
  • Two washers rigid 133 and 134 axially contain the elastic washer 130.
  • the controlled compression of the elastic washer 130 allows a slight vertical movement of the wedge body 10, during rotation maneuvers, to allow the bosses 30 to exit from the notches 31.
  • the wedge body 10 includes upper faces 20 and 21 flat and wide with projecting parts 15 or prominent 19, inclined substantially according to the inclination of the fixing surface 3 or shoe which bears on them, and which can advantageously be partially coated with a layer 132 of elastic material, for example in the form of a button snapped into a suitable hole.
