Abstract

The fastener base consists of a slider (1) which is fixed to the ski and has a row of notches (4) lying parallel to the slider's axis. A plate (5) can slide along the slider and is equipped with a spring-loaded catch (6) which engages with at least one of the notches and fixes the plate relative to the slider. The catch also has a release lever (13) which is pivoted to the plate. The catch (6) is made from a component which is separate from the lever and slides transversely relative to the plate. The base has a moving element (16) to suppress the play between the plate and slider when actuated by the lever. The moving element is in the form of a shoe which slides in or beneath the plate on a level with the inner edge of the slider opposite the notches. The lever is connected kinematically to the shoe by a curved link (18).

Description

La présente invention concerne une embase de fixation de ski réglable longitudinalement comprenant une glissière fixée au ski et présentant une rangée de crans parallèle à l'axe de la glissière et une plaque montée coulissante sur la glissière et portant un verrou engagé, sous l'action d'un ressort, dans au moins un cran de la glissière de manière à immobiliser la plaque sur la glissière, ainsi qu'un levier de déverrouillage monté pivotant sur la plaque autour d'un axe perpendiculaire à la plaque.The present invention relates to a longitudinally adjustable ski binding base comprising a slide fixed to the ski and having a row of notches parallel to the axis of the slide and a plate mounted sliding on the slide and carrying an engaged lock, under the action of a spring, in at least one notch of the slide so as to immobilize the plate on the slide, as well as an unlocking lever pivotally mounted on the plate around an axis perpendicular to the plate.

De telles embases sont utilisées pour équiper les skis de démonstration et de location haut de gamme dans le but de permettre d'adapter rapidement la distance entre la fixation avant et la fixation arrière à la pointure de la chaussure de l'utilisateur en conservant le centre de la chaussure au même point sur le ski. A cet effet, il est nécessaire de déplacer aussi bien la fixation avant que la fixation arrière lors d'un changement de pointure.Such bases are used to equip high-end demonstration and rental skis in order to allow the distance between the front binding and the rear binding to be quickly adapted to the shoe size of the user while retaining the center the shoe at the same point on the ski. For this purpose, it is necessary to move both the front binding and the rear binding when changing the size.

On connaît une telle embase dans laquelle le verrou est constitué de dents formées directement sur le levier de déverrouillage sur lequel agit directement le ressort. Compte tenu des tolérances de fabrication et de montage d'une telle embase, la plaque supportant la fixation présente un jeu transversal qui, bien que léger, n'en est pas moins perçu par le skieur lors des changements de carre. Non seulement un tel jeu est inacceptable dans les skis haut de gamme, mais il donne au skieur un sentiment d'imprécision dans le guidage des skis.Such a base is known in which the lock consists of teeth formed directly on the unlocking lever on which the spring acts directly. Given the manufacturing and mounting tolerances of such a base, the plate supporting the binding has a transverse play which, although light, is nonetheless perceived by the skier during changes of edge. Not only is such play unacceptable in high-end skis, but it gives the skier a feeling of imprecision in guiding the skis.

L'invention a pour but de supprimer ce jeu.The invention aims to remove this game.

L'embase selon l'invention est caractérisée en ce que le verrou est constitué d'une pièce distincte du levier montée coulissante transversalement à la plaque et en ce que ladite embase comprend en outre un élément mobile de suppression de jeu entre la plaque et la glissière, cet élément mobile étant déplaçable par une action sur ledit levier de déverrouillage.The base according to the invention is characterized in that the lock consists of a separate part from the lever mounted to slide transversely to the plate and in that said base also comprises a movable element for removing play between the plate and the slide, this movable element being movable by an action on said unlocking lever.

Selon un mode d'exécution de l'invention, l'élément de suppression de jeu est constitué d'un sabot coulissant actionné par le levier de déverrouillage au moyen d'une articulation à genouillère.According to one embodiment of the invention, the clearance suppressing element consists of a sliding shoe actuated by the unlocking lever by means of a toggle joint.

Selon un autre mode d'exécution, la suppression du jeu se fait au moyen d'une came écartant verticalement la plaque et la glissière l'une de l'autre.According to another embodiment, the clearance is removed by means of a cam vertically separating the plate and the slide from one another.

Le dessin annexé représente, à titre d'exemple, deux modes d'exécution.The accompanying drawing shows, by way of example, two embodiments.

La figure 1 est une vue en plan d'une embase selon une première forme d'exécution.Figure 1 is a plan view of a base according to a first embodiment.

La figure 2 est une vue en coupe selon II-II de la figure 1.Figure 2 is a sectional view along II-II of Figure 1.

Les figures 3, 4 et 5 illustrent, au moyen d'une variante d'exécution, le fonctionnement du premier mode d'exécution.Figures 3, 4 and 5 illustrate, by means of an alternative embodiment, the operation of the first embodiment.

La figure 6 est une vue en plan d'une seconde forme d'exécution dans laquelle la plaque de dessus a été coupée pour laisser apparaître le mécanisme de verrouillage et de suppression de jeu.Figure 6 is a plan view of a second embodiment in which the top plate has been cut to reveal the mechanism for locking and removing play.

La figure 7 est une vue en coupe selon VII-VII de la figure 6.Figure 7 is a sectional view along VII-VII of Figure 6.

La figure 8 est une vue partielle d'une variante d'exécution de la seconde forme d'exécution.Figure 8 is a partial view of an alternative embodiment of the second embodiment.

L'embase représentée aux figures 1 et 2 comprend une glissière 1 constituée d'une plaque métallique découpée et pliée de telle manière que sur une partie de sa longueur les bords 2 et 3 sont relevés de manière à former la glissière proprement dite, comme ceci ressort de la figure 2. Dans le corps de cette glissière 1, est formée, par emboutissage, une rangée de crans trapézoïdaux 4. Sur la glissière 2 est montée une plaque 5 sur laquelle vient se fixer la fixation du ski, dans l'exemple considéré, une butée avant. La plaque 5 est une plaque moulée présentant des logements et des guidages sur sa face inférieure.The base shown in Figures 1 and 2 comprises a slide 1 consisting of a metal plate cut and folded so that over part of its length the edges 2 and 3 are raised so as to form the slide itself, like this spring of Figure 2. In the body of this slide 1, is formed by stamping, a row of trapezoidal notches 4. On the slide 2 is mounted a plate 5 on which is fixed the binding of the ski, in the example considered, a front stop. The plate 5 is a molded plate having housings and guides on its underside.

A la figure 1, la plaque 5 a été partiellement arrachée de manière à laisser voir les mécanismes de verrouillage et de rattrapage de jeu. Le verrouillage est assuré par un verrou 6 constitué d'une pièce montée coulissante transversalement dans un logement de la face inférieure de la plaque 5. Ce verrou 6 est muni de deux dents trapézoïdales 7 s'engageant entre au moins deux crans 4 sous la poussée d'un ressort 8 pénétrant latéralement dans une découpe 9 de la plaque 5 et travaillant en compression entre le verrou 6 et le bord 10 de la découpe 9. Le verrou 6 présente un bras 11 traversant le ressort 8.In FIG. 1, the plate 5 has been partially torn off so as to reveal the locking and backlash mechanisms. The locking is ensured by a latch 6 consisting of a part mounted to slide transversely in a housing on the lower face of the plate 5. This lock 6 is provided with two trapezoidal teeth 7 engaging between at least two notches 4 under the thrust of a spring 8 penetrating laterally in a cutout 9 of the plate 5 and working in compression between the lock 6 and the edge 10 of the cutout 9. The lock 6 has an arm 11 passing through the spring 8.

Sur la face inférieure de la plaque 5, est en outre monté, pivotant autour d'un axe 12, un levier 13 muni d'un côté d'un bec 14 et à l'autre extrémité d'une poignée 15 accessible pour la manoeuvre du levier 13. Le levier 13 est en outre relié cinématiquement à un sabot 16 monté coulissant obliquement dans une rainure prévue dans la face inférieure de la plaque 5 et débouchant sur le côté de la plaque 5 opposé au verrou 6, au niveau du bord vertical 17 de la glissière 1 (figure 2), par une biellette 18, légèrement courbe, articulée sur le levier 13 autour d'un axe 19 et constituant une genouillère avec le levier 13.On the underside of the plate 5, is further mounted, pivoting about an axis 12, a lever 13 provided on one side with a spout 14 and at the other end with a handle 15 accessible for operating the lever 13. The lever 13 is also kinematically connected to a shoe 16 mounted sliding obliquely in a groove provided in the underside of the plate 5 and opening onto the side of the plate 5 opposite the latch 6, at the vertical edge 17 of the slide 1 (FIG. 2), by a slightly curved link 18, articulated on the lever 13 around an axis 19 and constituting a toggle joint with the lever 13.

La figure 1 représente l'embase en position verrouillée et jeu supprimé. Dans cette position, l'axe 19 est légèrement à droite de la ligne droite reliant l'axe 12 à l'articulation de la biellette 18 sur le sabot 16. La biellette 18 est légèrement fléchie élastiquement de telle sorte que le sabot 16 est pressé contre le côté de la glissière 1, de telle sorte que la plaque 5 ne peut pas se déplacer latéralement sur la glissière 1. Ce blocage a pour effet de supprimer également le jeu vertical.Figure 1 shows the base in the locked position and removed play. In this position, the axis 19 is slightly to the right of the straight line connecting the axis 12 to the articulation of the link 18 on the shoe 16. The link 18 is slightly flexed elastically so that the shoe 16 is pressed against the side of the slide 1, so that the plate 5 cannot move laterally on the slide 1. This blocking also has the effect of eliminating the vertical play.

Si l'on veut libérer axialement la plaque 5 relativement à la glissière 1, on fait pivoter le levier 13 dans le sens horaire. Lors de ce pivotement, on doit tout d'abord exercer une force suffisante pour passer le point dur de la genouillère. Le bec 14 vient ensuite repousser en arrière le verrou 6 de manière à dégager ses dents des crans 4. Dès qu'on relâche le levier 13, le ressort 8 pousse à nouveau le verrou dans les crans 4. Pour supprimer le jeu, on repousse ensuite le levier 13 dans la position représentée au dessin.If the plate 5 is to be released axially relative to the slide 1, the lever 13 is pivoted clockwise. During this pivoting, you must first exert sufficient force to pass the hard point of the knee lifter. The spout 14 then pushes back the lock 6 so as to release its teeth from the notches 4. As soon as the lever 13 is released, the spring 8 pushes the lock again in the notches 4. To remove the play, it is pushed back then the lever 13 in the position shown in the drawing.

On remarque que le sabot 16 s'appuie obliquement contre la glissière de telle sorte que la réaction engendrée présente une composante parallèle à l'axe de la glissière. Cette composante a pour effet de supprimer le jeu axial qui pourrait exister. En outre si, lorsqu'on relâche le levier de déverrouillage, les dents 7 viennent par hasard buter sur les dents formées entre les crans 4, cette composante axiale favorise l'engagement des dents 7 sur les crans.Note that the shoe 16 bears obliquely against the slide so that the reaction generated has a component parallel to the axis of the slide. This component has the effect of eliminating the axial play that could exist. In addition if, when the unlocking lever is released, the teeth 7 accidentally come up against the teeth formed between the notches 4, this axial component promotes the engagement of the teeth 7 on the notches.

Les trois phases décrites ci-dessus sont illustrées aux figures 3, 4 et 5 qui représentent en même temps une variante d'exécution du premier mode d'exécution.The three phases described above are illustrated in Figures 3, 4 and 5 which at the same time represent an alternative embodiment of the first embodiment.

On trouve à nouveau un verrou 20 monté coulissant transversalement et muni de deux dents venant s'engager dans une denture 21 de la glissière sous la poussée d'un ressort 22. Ce verrou présente un bec 23 et un talon 24 proche des dents. Un levier de déverrouillage 25 est articulé autour d'un axe 26 et il est relié à un sabot 27, analogue au sabot 16, par une biellette 28.There is again a lock 20 mounted sliding transversely and provided with two teeth engaging in a toothing 21 of the slide under the thrust of a spring 22. This lock has a spout 23 and a heel 24 close to the teeth. An unlocking lever 25 is articulated around an axis 26 and it is connected to a shoe 27, similar to shoe 16, by a link 28.

La figure 3 représente le dispositif en position déverrouillée, une force étant exercée sur le levier 25 comme indiqué par la flèche. Dans cette position, un bec 29 du levier 25 vient repousser le verrou 20 par son bec 23 en comprimant le ressort 22.Figure 3 shows the device in the unlocked position, a force being exerted on the lever 25 as indicated by the arrow. In this position, a spout 29 of the lever 25 pushes the latch 20 by its spout 23 by compressing the spring 22.

Lorsque le levier 25 est relâché, le ressort 22 repousse le verrou 20 en position verrouillée. Le levier 25 prend une position médiane (figure 4).When the lever 25 is released, the spring 22 pushes the latch 20 back into the locked position. The lever 25 takes a middle position (Figure 4).

A partir de la position représentée à la figure 4, si l'on repousse le levier 25 de l'autre côté, comme représenté à la figure 5, la genouillère constituée par la biellette 28 articulée sur le levier 25 presse le sabot 27 contre la glissière et la genouillère 28, qui a dépassé le point dur, est bloquée dans cette position. Le bec 29 du levier 25 vient en outre au moins approximativement en contact avec le talon 24 du verrou 20, verrouillant ainsi à son tour le verrou 20. Le talon 24 empêche également que l'on puisse verrouiller le système lorsque les dents du verrou 20 ne sont pas engagées dans les crans.From the position shown in FIG. 4, if the lever 25 is pushed back on the other side, as shown in FIG. 5, the toggle formed by the link 28 articulated on the lever 25 presses the shoe 27 against the slide and the toggle joint 28, which has passed the hard point, is locked in this position. The beak 29 of the lever 25 also comes at least approximately into contact with the heel 24 of the latch 20, thereby in turn locking the latch 20. The heel 24 also prevents the system from being able to be locked when the teeth of the latch 20 are not engaged in the notches.

Le jeu peut être supprimé d'une manière sensiblement différente, comme ceci est illustré par la seconde forme d'exécution représentée aux figures 6 et 7.The play can be eliminated in a substantially different way, as illustrated by the second embodiment shown in Figures 6 and 7.

On retrouve dans cette forme d'exécution une glissière 1 identique à la première forme d'exécution. Sur cette glissière 1 est montée une plaque métallique 31 revêtue ici d'une garniture 32 en matière synthétique. Un verrou 33 est poussé dans les crans 4 de la glissière par un ressort 34 travaillant en flexion entre un plot 35 du verrou 33 et un plot 36 de la plaque 31. Le verrou 33 est actionnable par un levier 37 monté pivotant autour d'un axe 38 et muni d'un bec 39 s'engageant dans une découpe en V du verrou 33. Ce verrou est dès lors pratiquement articulé à l'extrémité du levier 37. Le levier 37 est traversé par un axe 40 s'étendant parallèlement à la plaque 31 et muni, à l'une de ses extrémités, d'une palette 41 et, à son autre extrémité, d'une came 43 formée ou rapportée sur l'axe 40.We find in this embodiment a slide 1 identical to the first embodiment. On this slide 1 is mounted a metal plate 31 coated here with a lining 32 of synthetic material. A lock 33 is pushed into the notches 4 of the slide by a spring 34 working in bending between a pad 35 of the lock 33 and a pad 36 of the plate 31. The lock 33 can be actuated by a lever 37 mounted pivoting around a axis 38 and provided with a spout 39 engaging in a V-shaped cutout of the lock 33. This lock is therefore practically articulated at the end of the lever 37. The lever 37 is crossed by an axis 40 extending parallel to the plate 31 and provided, at one of its ends, with a pallet 41 and, at its other end, with a cam 43 formed or attached to the axis 40.

Dans la position représentée à la figure 6, la palette 41 est rabattue dans une rainure 42 prévue à cet effet dans la face supérieure de la plaque 32 et la came 43 est orientée perpendiculairement à la plaque 31, comme représenté en trait mixte en 43' à la figure 7, de telle manière qu'elle écarte la plaque 31 de la glissière 1. Ceci a pour effet de plaquer fortement les rebords 31a de la plaque 31 contre les rebords la de la glissière 1. Ce contact métal sur métal immobilise par frottement la plaque 31 sur la glissière en supprimant tout jeu, aussi bien latéral que vertical.In the position shown in Figure 6, the pallet 41 is folded into a groove 42 provided for this purpose in the upper face of the plate 32 and the cam 43 is oriented perpendicular to the plate 31, as shown in phantom in 43 ' in FIG. 7, so that it separates the plate 31 from the slide 1. This has the effect of strongly pressing the edges 31a of the plate 31 against the edges la of the slide 1. This metal-to-metal contact immobilizes the plate 31 on the slide by friction, eliminating any play, both lateral and vertical.

La suppression du jeu peut être assurée sans égard aux forces de frottement si l'on donne une certaine pente aux bords la et 31a, comme représenté à la figure 8 où ces bords sont désignés par 1'a et 31'a.The removal of the play can be ensured without regard to the friction forces if a certain slope is given to the edges la and 31a, as shown in FIG. 8 where these edges are designated by 1'a and 31'a.

Pour libérer la plaque 31, il suffit de relever la palette 41 perpendiculairement à l'embase, ce qui permet d'actionner le levier 37 au moyen de la palette 41. Cette dernière est ensuite rabattue dans la rainure 42.To release the plate 31, it suffices to raise the pallet 41 perpendicular to the base, which makes it possible to actuate the lever 37 by means of the pallet 41. The latter is then folded back into the groove 42.

La palette 41 pourrait être remplacée par toute autre poignée permettant d'entraîner l'ensemble du levier de déverrouillage en rotation et l'axe 40 en rotation.The pallet 41 could be replaced by any other handle making it possible to drive the whole of the unlocking lever in rotation and the axis 40 in rotation.
