The clasp has two hook-shaped ends (9a, 9b), and is connected to the lever arm by a plate (11) and an eccentric pivot (12). The pivot allows the clasp to be set in two positions, projecting by different amounts from the end of the lever arm.

Description

L'invention concerne un dispositif de fermeture d'une chaussure, notamment d'une chaussure de ski. De façon connue, de tels dispositifs sont utilisés pour resserrer deux pans ou deux rabats d'une coque autour d'un chausson dans lequel se trouve le pied du skieur.The invention relates to a device for closing a boot, in particular a ski boot. In known manner, such devices are used to tighten two sides or two flaps of a shell around a liner in which the skier's foot is located.

L'invention se rapporte aux dispositifs de fermeture qui mettent en oeuvre un levier de manoeuvre à genouillère d'une part, et une crémaillère d'autre part, qui permet un réglage au moins grossier de la longueur du dispositif.The invention relates to closing devices which use a toggle operating lever on the one hand, and a rack on the other hand, which allows at least coarse adjustment of the length of the device.

Le brevet italien n° 61 930 B88 décrit un dispositif du type précité dans lequel la crémaillère comprend un certain nombre de dents avec l'une au moins desquelles coopère un organe d'accrochage en liaison avec le lever de manoeuvre par l'intermédiaire d'un tirant inextensible.Italian Patent No. 61,930 B88 describes a device of the aforementioned type in which the rack comprises a number of teeth with at least one of which cooperates a hooking member in connection with the operating lever by means of an inextensible tie.

Selon ce document, l'organe d'accrochage est constitué par une pièce dont les extrémités sont repliées par rapport à une surface plane de référence pour former un U, ses extrémités formant des crans aptes a coopérer soit individuellement avec l'une des dents de la crémaillère, ou soit simultanément avec deux dents d'extrémité d'un groupe de dents de ladite crémaillère. Dans ce dernier cas, l'écartement des crans de l'organe d'accrochage en U aura un pas égal au nombre de dents de la crémaillère qu'il coiffe.According to this document, the fastening member is constituted by a part whose ends are folded relative to a flat reference surface to form a U, its ends forming notches capable of cooperating either individually with one of the teeth of the rack, or either simultaneously with two end teeth of a group of teeth of said rack. In the latter case, the spacing of the notches of the U-shaped fastening member will have a pitch equal to the number of teeth of the rack which it covers.

Un tel agencement est destiné à procurer un réglage pouvant s'effectuer selon une valeur égale à la course correspondant au nombre de dents de la crémaillère à laquelle valeur s'ajoute celle du pas de l'organe d'accrochage, tant lorsqu'il se trouve dans une position de desserrage maximum par l'un des crans d'extrémité, sur une première dent de la crémaillère, que lorsqu'il se trouve dans une position de serrage maximum par l'autre cran d'extrémité dudit organe de verrouillage sur une dernière dent de la crémaillère.Such an arrangement is intended to provide an adjustment that can be made according to a value equal to the stroke corresponding to the number of teeth of the rack to which value is added that of the pitch of the fastening member, both when it is in a position of maximum loosening by one of the end notches, on a first tooth of the rack, only when it is in a position of maximum tightening by the other end notch of said locking member on one last tooth of the rack.

Si un tel dispositif augmente effectivement la course de réglage, celle-ci a néanmoins ses limites, car la longueur de l'organe de verrouillage doit rester raisonnable pour des questions d'encombrement, mais également d'esthétique.If such a device actually increases the adjustment stroke, it nevertheless has its limits, because the length of the locking member must remain reasonable for reasons of space, but also aesthetics.

Un autre dispositif de ce type est décrit dans le brevet d'invention français n° 2 373 981 dans lequel l'organe d'accrochage est constitué par un élément réversible par rotation autour d'un axe transversal parallèle au plan de la longueur de la chaussure, ledit élément étant asymétrique par rapport audit axe, et venant en appui par l'une ou l'autre de ses extrémités sur une partie fixe d'un des rabats de la chaussure. Dans ce cas, la crémaillère portée par l'autre rabat permet une plage de réglage égale au nombre de ses dents, augmentée de la valeur de l'asymétrie de l'élément réversible.Another device of this type is described in the French invention patent no. 2 373 981 in which the attachment member is constituted by an element reversible by rotation about a transverse axis parallel to the plane of the length of the shoe, said element being asymmetrical with respect to said axis, and coming to bear by one or the other of its ends on a fixed part of one of the flaps of the shoe. In this case, the rack carried by the other flap allows an adjustment range equal to the number of its teeth, increased by the value of the asymmetry of the reversible element.

Dans ce cas, bien qu'obtenant une augmentation de la course de réglage, un inconvénient majeur réside dans le fait qu'il impose en fait un réglage à deux niveaux, l'un au niveau de la crémaillère portée par l'un des rabats, l'autre sur l'organe d'accrochage porté par l'autre rabat, ce qui rend la manipulation fastidieuse et plus longue.In this case, although obtaining an increase in the adjustment stroke, a major drawback lies in the fact that it in fact imposes an adjustment on two levels, one at the level of the rack carried by one of the flaps , the other on the hooking member carried by the other flap, which makes the handling tedious and longer.

De plus, ce dispositif va à l'encontre d'une tendance technologique recherchant une intégration maximum des moyens de commande par rapport à la surface d'enveloppement de la chaussure.In addition, this device goes against a technological trend seeking maximum integration of the control means with respect to the wrapping surface of the shoe.

Ce n'est pas le cas du dispositif qui vient d'être crié dans lequel le retournement de l'organe d'accrochage s'effectue dans un espace correspondant à sa rotation.This is not the case with the device which has just been shouted in which the turning of the attachment member takes place in a space corresponding to its rotation.

La présente invention a donc pour but de proposer un dispositif permettant d'obtenir une augmentation de la course de réglage en plus ou en moins s'ajoutant ou se retranchant au réglage nominal pour procurer une plage totale élargie, tant lors d'une opération de serrage que de desserrage de la chaussure et ceci tout en restant le plus près possible de la surface d'enveloppement de la chaussure afin de ne pas accentuer les risques de détérioration du fait de sa situation en relief.The present invention therefore aims to provide a device for obtaining an increase in the adjustment stroke in addition or in addition to or subtract from the nominal setting to provide a wider total range, both during an operation of tightening that loosening the shoe and this while remaining as close as possible to the wrapping surface of the shoe so as not to increase the risk of deterioration due to its raised position.

A cet effet l'invention concerne un dispositif de fermeture d'une chaussure notamment une chaussure de ski, destiné à maintenir rapproché deux pans de la chaussure et comprenant d'une part un levier de manoeuvre porté par une platine reliée solidairement à l'un des pans à rapprocher, et d'autre part, sur l'autre pan une crémaillère dans l'une des dents de laquelle est destinée à s'engager un organe d'accrochage, lequel organe est relié au levier de manoeuvre par un tirant inextensible, caractérisé en ce que l'organe d'accrochage est relié au tirant par l'intermédiaire d'un plot de liaison sur un axe duquel il est rotatif de manière asymétrique, dans un plan sensiblement parallèle à celui de la surface de la chaussure.To this end, the invention relates to a device for closing a boot, in particular a ski boot, intended to keep two sections of the boot close together and comprising on the one hand an operating lever carried by a plate integrally connected to one sides to be brought together, and on the other hand, on the other pan, a rack in one of the teeth of which is intended to engage a fastening member, which member is connected to the operating lever by an inextensible tie rod , characterized in that the attachment member is connected to the tie rod by means of a connecting stud on an axis of which it is rotated asymmetrically, in a plane substantially parallel to that of the surface of the shoe.

La présente invention concerne également les caractéristiques qui ressortiront au cours de la description qui va suivre, et qui devront être considérées isolément ou selon toutes leurs combinaisons techniques possibles.The present invention also relates to the characteristics which will emerge during the description which follows, and which should be considered in isolation or according to all their possible technical combinations.

Cette description donnée à titre d'exemple non limitatif, fera mieux comprendre comment l'invention peut être réalisée, en référence aux dessins annexés sur lesquels :

  • la figure 1 est une vue latérale globale du dispositif de fermeture d'une chaussure, selon un mode de réalisation non limitatif, représenté dans une position de serrage minimum,
  • la figure 2 est une vue selon la figure 1 dans laquelle le dispositif est représenté dans une position de serrage intermédiaire,
  • la figure 3 est une vue selon la figure 1 dans laquelle le dispositif est représenté dans une position de serrage maximum,
  • la figure 4 est une vue latérale d'un dispositif de fermeture selon un second mode de réalisation,
  • la figure 5 est une vue de dessus du dispositif selon la figure 4.
This description given by way of nonlimiting example will make it easier to understand how the invention can be implemented, with reference to the attached drawings in which:
  • FIG. 1 is a general side view of the device for closing a shoe, according to a nonlimiting embodiment, shown in a minimum tightening position,
  • FIG. 2 is a view according to FIG. 1 in which the device is shown in an intermediate clamping position,
  • FIG. 3 is a view according to FIG. 1 in which the device is shown in a position of maximum tightening,
  • FIG. 4 is a side view of a closure device according to a second embodiment,
  • FIG. 5 is a top view of the device according to FIG. 4.

Selon le mode d'exécution représenté sur les figures, le dispositif de fermeture 1 globalement désigné, est destiné à assurer le rapprochement de deux pans 5 de chaussure, 2 et 3.According to the embodiment shown in the figures, the generally designated closure device 1 is intended to bring together two sections of shoe 5, 2 and 3.

Le dispositif 1 comprend un levier de manoeuvre à genouillère 4. Un tel lever 4 est connu et comprend un bras 5 relié au pan 3 de la chaussure par l'intermédiaire d'une platine 6. Un tirant inextensible 7 est fixé de manière articulée sur le bras 5 du lever 4 et est destiné à être relié à une crémaillère 8 par l'intermédiaire d'un organe d'accrochage 9 apte à coopérer avec au moins l'une des dents 8a, 8b, 8c,..., de celle-ci. Ladite crémaillère 8 est fixée sur l'autre pan 2 de la chaussure grâce à des rivets 10, de manière connue en soi.The device 1 includes a knee lever operating lever 4. Such a lever 4 is known and includes an arm 5 connected to the side 3 of the shoe by means of a plate 6. An inextensible tie rod 7 is articulated on the arm 5 of the lever 4 and is intended to be connected to a rack 8 via a hooking member 9 able to cooperate with at least one of the teeth 8a, 8b, 8c, ..., this one. Said rack 8 is fixed to the other side 2 of the shoe by means of rivets 10, in a manner known per se.

Selon l'invention, le dispositif de fermeture d'une chaussure, notamment une chaussure de ski, est destiné à maintenir rapproché deux pans 2,3, de la chaussure et comprend d'une part, un lever de manoeuvre 4 porté par une platine 6 reliée solidairement à l'un des pans 3 à rapprocher, et d'autre part, sur l'autre pan 2 une crémaillère 8, 8A, dans l'une des dents 8a, 8b, 8c,...., de laquelle est destinée à s'engager un organe d'accrochage 9, lequel organe est relié au lever de manoeuvre 4 par un tirant inextensible 7. L'organe d'accrochage 9 est relié au tirant 7 par l'intermédiaire d'un plot de liaison 11 sur un axe 12 duquel il est rotatif de manière asymétrique, dans un plan sensiblement parallèle à celui de la surface de la chaussure.According to the invention, the device for closing a boot, in particular a ski boot, is intended to keep two sections 2,3 of the boot close to the boot and comprises, on the one hand, an operating lever 4 carried by a plate 6 connected integrally to one of the sides 3 to be brought together, and on the other hand, on the other pan 2 a rack 8, 8A, in one of the teeth 8a, 8b, 8c, ...., of which is intended to engage a fastening member 9, which member is connected to the operating lever 4 by a inextensible tie rod 7. The hooking member 9 is connected to the tie rod 7 by means of a connecting stud 11 on an axis 12 of which it is rotated asymmetrically, in a plane substantially parallel to that of the surface of the shoe.

Comme le montre les figures, l'axe de rotation 12 de l'organe d'accrochage 9 sur le plot 11 est interposé entre ceux-ci de manière perpendiculaire à leur plan et assure leur liaison articulée.As shown in the figures, the axis of rotation 12 of the fastening member 9 on the stud 11 is interposed between them perpendicular to their plane and ensures their articulated connection.

Dans ce cas, l'axe de rotation 12 de l'organe d'accrochage 9 est monté fixement sur le plot 11, mais bien entendu, de manière inverse, il pourrait être fixé sur l'organe d'accrochage 9 et libre en rotation dans le plot 11.In this case, the axis of rotation 12 of the fastening member 9 is fixedly mounted on the stud 11, but of course, conversely, it could be fixed on the fastening member 9 and free to rotate in plot 11.

En fait, le pot 11 est un élément relativement plat s'étendant parallèlement à l'organe d'accrochage 9, l'une de ses extrémités portant l'axe de rotation 12 de ce dernier, alors que l'autre extrémité dudit plot 11 est traversée dans un sens également parallèle au plan de la surface de la chaussure par une tige transversale 7a d'accrochage du tirant 7.In fact, the pot 11 is a relatively flat element extending parallel to the hooking member 9, one of its ends carrying the axis of rotation 12 of the latter, while the other end of said stud 11 is crossed in a direction also parallel to the plane of the surface of the boot by a transverse rod 7a for hooking the tie rod 7.

L'organe d'accrochage 9 comporte à ses extrémités, situées dans l'axe de traction du tirant 7, deux crans 9a, 9b, recourbés et dirigés vers la crémaillère 8, 8A, avec laquelle ils sont destinés à coopérer et réalisés asymétriquement par rapport à l'axe de rotation 12 dudit organe d'accrochage 9. Dans cet exemple, le cran 9a est distant de l'axe 12 d'une valeur X supérieure à celle Y du cran 9b. Ainsi, la coopération de l'un ou l'autre des crans 9a, 9b, après retournement dudit organe de 180° autour de l'axe 12, avec une dent donnée 8a, 8b, 8c,...., de la crémaillère 8, 8A, procure respectivement deux réglages de serrage, dont la différence est égale à celle de l'excentration X-Y desdits crans 9a, 9b, par rapport à l'axe 12, la plage globale de réglage entre un maximum et un minimum étant égale à celle procurée par action sur le levier de manoeuvre 4 à laquelle s'ajoute la différence d'excentration X-Y.The attachment member 9 comprises at its ends, located in the axis of traction of the tie rod 7, two notches 9a, 9b, bent and directed towards the rack 8, 8A, with which they are intended to cooperate and produced asymmetrically by relative to the axis of rotation 12 of said fastening member 9. In this example, the notch 9a is distant from the axis 12 by a value X greater than that Y of the notch 9b. Thus, the cooperation of one or other of the notches 9a, 9b, after turning said member 180 ° around the axis 12, with a given tooth 8a, 8b, 8c, ...., of the rack 8, 8A, respectively provides two tightening adjustments, the difference of which is equal to that of the XY eccentricity of said notches 9a, 9b, relative to the axis 12, the overall adjustment range between a maximum and a minimum being equal to that provided by action on the operating lever 4 to which is added the difference in offset XY.

On comprend bien que l'on pourra donner toutes valeurs de rapport entre la grande longueur X correspondant à la distance séparant l'extrémité 9a de l'axe 12, et la plus petite longueur Y séparant l'extrémité 9b du même axe 12.It is clear that we can give any ratio values between the long length X corresponding to the distance separating the end 9a from the axis 12, and the shortest length Y separating the end 9b from the same axis 12.

Il est important de noter ici qu'un tel agencement s'il permet un gain de réglage de X-Y, ce même gain est en fait disponible tant lors d'un serrage minimum que lors d'un serrage maximum de la chaussure par traction sur ses pans 2 et 3.It is important to note here that such an arrangement if it allows an adjustment gain of XY, this same gain is in fact available both during a minimum tightening and during a maximum tightening of the shoe by traction on its panels 2 and 3.

Selon le présent exemple de réalisation, l'organe d'accrochage 9 est constitué par une pièce en tôle relativement plate dont les crans 9a, 9b, sont constitués par deux rabats d'extrémités transversaux aptes à coopérer avec des dents 8a, 8b, 8c,...., de la crémaillère 8.According to the present embodiment, the fastening member 9 is constituted by a relatively flat sheet metal part, the notches 9a, 9b of which consist of two flaps of transverse ends capable of cooperating with teeth 8a, 8b, 8c , ...., of the rack 8.

Pour une meilleure accroche de ceux-ci, un angle inférieur à 90° leur est donné par rapport au plan supérieur de l'organe d'accrochage 9.For a better grip of these, an angle of less than 90 ° is given to them relative to the upper plane of the fastening member 9.

Selon une variante de réalisation montrée sur la figure 4, l'organe d'accrochage 9 est constitué par une pièce en tôle relativement plate dont les crans 9a, 9b, sont aptes à coopérer avec des trous 13 pratiqués dans un élément plat 8A formant crémaillère, les trous 13 constituant l'équivalent des crans 8a, 8b, 8c,....According to an alternative embodiment shown in FIG. 4, the attachment member 9 is constituted by a relatively flat sheet metal part, the notches 9a, 9b of which are capable of cooperating with holes 13 made in a flat element 8A forming a rack , the holes 13 constituting the equivalent of the notches 8a, 8b, 8c, ...

D'autres variantes sont également possibles. Ainsi, par exemple, l'organe d'accrochage 9 pourrait avoir la forme d'une boucle ou d'une plaque de tôle munie de deux lumières transversales pour coopérer avec la crémaillère 8.Other variations are also possible.
