Definitions
- the present invention relates to a frame for sliding sports article type roller skate, ice skate and a method of manufacturing such a frame.
- Such elements must ensure the connection between the gliding members or proper, namely ice skate blade or wheels, wheels, and the foot of the user.
- the frames are generally made of a bearing surface adapted to receive the shoe of the athlete and one or two lateral flanges for receiving the wheels, wheels or blade pad.
- the oldest manufacturing technique is to manufacture such frames from a folded sheet, U-shaped, as shown for example in the DE 10 33 569 .
- the request for EP-A-0 043 250 discloses a U-shaped frame with side flanges having fastening means for the gliding members.
- the shape of the frame is cut out of a metal flank.
- the side flanges have a rather narrow shape and holes for fixing the protection means are provided in the flanges.
- a thick metal sheet must be provided, which increases the weight of the frame.
- FR 943,511 describes a Y-shaped frame, its rigidity being due to the bending of the flanges and incidentally to returns of material formed at the periphery of the various cuts made therein.
- Chassis made of composite fibers are also known. Such frames can actually be made in almost all possible forms but they are extremely expensive to manufacture and difficult to industrialize. Moreover, such frames are certainly extremely rigid but lack flexibility and are therefore fragile and not “comfortable”.
- the object of the present invention is to overcome these drawbacks and to provide an improved chassis for sliding sports article and a method of manufacturing such a chassis that can solve the various problems stated above and which allows in particular to reconcile resistance characteristics mechanical, adaptability, flexibility of achievement, lightness and low manufacturing cost.
- a U-shaped frame for a gliding article comprising at least one bearing surface adapted to receive a shoe and two lateral flanges comprising means for fixing the gliding member or members, said frame comprising less a stiffening rib made on at least one of the flanges by stamping.
- the rib is elongated in a longitudinal direction of the frame in a region between at least two attachment means.
- each rib extends substantially over the entire length of the flange of the frame, or only on a limited central area of each flange, or at the ends of each flange.
- the frame according to the invention is made from a metal sheet and is generally in the form of two lateral flanges 2 connected to one another by two platforms 3, 4 conferring on the whole a substantially U-shaped cross section.
- Each of the platforms 3, 4 constitutes a bearing surface adapted to receive the athlete's footwear, the latter (not shown in the drawing) being fixed by any means known per se and in particular glue, rivets, screws, etc. .., but can also be removably attached by means of non-permanent connection.
- platforms 3, 4 are distinct and separated from one another by a cutout 5, and located at different levels in height, the platform 4 being lower than the platform 3, to account for the natural position, heel slightly raised, of a sportsman.
- Each flange 2 has an elongated shape and slightly curved arcuate in the longitudinal direction.
- each flange At the lower end of each flange, there are provided holes 6 for fixing rollers or, as the case may be, a skate blade.
- Each hole 6 is made in a cylindrical boss 7 that can be obtained by stamping.
- the holes 6 located in correspondence in the two flanges 2 are coaxial.
- Each flange 2 also has a pressed rib 8 extending substantially over the entire length of said flange 2, above the fixing holes 6 and generally arcuate.
- each rib 8 has a substantially constant thickness corresponding to that of the plate constituting the flanges 2 and each of the platforms 3, 4, and has a hollow shape, convex towards the outside, this recessed shape and the thickness constant being characteristic of a shape obtained by stamping.
- Each rib 8 also preferably follows the contour of the flanges 1, 2, on which it is stamped and therefore has in this case an elongated shape and also slightly curved in the longitudinal direction.
- Such a pressed rib 8 confers on the flange on which it is made a significant increase in the moment of inertia and the resistance to deformation both in longitudinal and vertical direction, this increase being related not only to the presence of each rib 8 and its shape but also the work hardening of the material at the rib during the stamping operation.
- Such a construction and manufacturing concept makes it practically possible to halve the thickness and therefore the weight of the sheet metal plate used to make the frame with respect to a folded, molded or profiled frame, while preserving or even increasing the characteristics. mechanical.
- the frame will be made from a rolled sheet whose fibers are oriented in the longitudinal direction of the frame.
- Such a characteristic also makes it possible to increase the strength qualities of the frame in the longitudinal direction, particularly with respect to an injected or cast alloy frame in which there is no fiber formation.
- the cutout 9, of oval shape and disposed centrally below the rib 8 makes it possible to reduce the bending stiffness of each flange 2 in the central zone of the frame and, in combination with the cutout 5, also arranged centrally. , also reduces the flexural stiffness of the entire chassis in this area.
- each frame may consist of two flanges of general cross section in the form of "L” and connected together by the small branch of each "L".
- stamping technique Another extremely advantageous characteristic of the stamping technique lies in the fact that the possibilities in terms of design are superior to those of the aluminum profile which does not allow any relief or shape on the sides of the profile necessarily planar.
- the method and the frame construction according to the invention offer great possibilities for varying the moment of inertia of the frame along the longitudinal axis thereof, by predicting the ribs, cuts or heights sidewall adapted to obtain a deformation of the frame and an optimum behavior of the pad depending on the type of desired practice.
- chassis described with reference to Figures 1 to 3 provides almost uniform rigidity over its entire length while the other two examples of chassis shown to Figures 4 to 6 and 7 to 10 allow to obtain different behaviors.
- the chassis 10 mounted to Figures 4 to 6 comprises as the chassis 1 two side flanges 12 but a single platform 13 extending over its entire length.
- the chassis 10 also has a shape that is clearly curved in an arc.
- Each flange 12 has at each end a cutout 15 and a perimeter shrinkage 14, giving it a certain flexibility and a low moment of inertia in these areas.
- each flange 12 is provided in its central region of two embossed ribs 18, 19 superimposed.
- Such a frame thus has a very high rigidity in the center, in the region of the ribs 18, 19, and relatively flexible ends.
- the chassis 20 shown to Figures 7 to 10 comprises as the chassis 10 two side plates 22 and a single platform 13 extending over its entire length.
- Such a chassis will be very rigid at the rear, very flexible in the center and moderately rigid in the front.
- each lateral flange 32 of the frame 30 is stamped over its entire surface and therefore constitutes a wide and single rib 38 slightly bent outwards.
- Such a chassis therefore has particularly uniform torsional and flexural stiffness characteristics over its entire length, the only more flexible zones being defined at the front and at the rear by indentations 34.
- figure 13 illustrates yet another example of cross-stamping lateral flanges 42 of a frame 40, in which each flange is pressed a first time outwards, then a second time inwards, thus defining two "ribs" outside 48 and an inner medial rib 49.
- the present invention is not limited to the exemplary embodiments shown above. It can be applied to any frame for sporting goods having to satisfy the same requirements.

Abstract
Description
La présente invention concerne un châssis pour article de sport de glisse de type patin à roulettes, patin à glace et un procédé de fabrication d'un tel châssis.The present invention relates to a frame for sliding sports article type roller skate, ice skate and a method of manufacturing such a frame.
De tels éléments doivent assurer la liaison entre le ou les organes de glisse proprement dit, à savoir lame de patin à glace ou roues, roulettes, et le pied de l'utilisateur.Such elements must ensure the connection between the gliding members or proper, namely ice skate blade or wheels, wheels, and the foot of the user.
Les châssis sont donc généralement constitués d'une surface d'appui apte à recevoir la chaussure du sportif et d'un ou deux flasques latéraux destinés a recevoir les roues, roulettes ou la lame du patin.The frames are generally made of a bearing surface adapted to receive the shoe of the athlete and one or two lateral flanges for receiving the wheels, wheels or blade pad.
Ils doivent par ailleurs présenter des caractéristiques de résistance mécanique importantes tout en étant le plus légers possible afin de ne pas entraîner d'efforts trop importants de la part du sportif.They must also have significant strength characteristics while being as light as possible so as not to cause too much effort on the part of the athlete.
Par ailleurs, la technicité croissante de ces articles de sport de glisse, notamment dans le cas des patins à roues en ligne, augmente encore les exigences, contradictoires, auxquelles doivent satisfaire les châssis de patin, et à savoir:
- une résistance mécanique et stabilité accrue, notamment pour les patins de vitesse mais également pour le patins dits de «Free ride», «Free style» ou hockey,
- une certaine flexibilité, notamment dans certaines zones du patin pour permettre une adaptation de la forme du patin à la trajectoire effectuée, notamment dans les courbes à grande vitesse,
- des formes variées et originales pour répondre aux exigences naissantes et changeantes de la mode,
- un coût de fabrication le plus bas possible.
- mechanical strength and increased stability, especially for speed skates but also for skates called "Free ride", "Free style" or hockey,
- a certain flexibility, especially in certain areas of the pad to allow an adaptation of the shape of the pad to the trajectory performed, especially in high speed curves,
- varied and original shapes to meet the rising and changing demands of fashion,
- a manufacturing cost as low as possible.
Les techniques de fabrication de châssis connues actuellement ne permettent pas de satisfaire à toutes ces exigence, tout en conservant un coût de fabrication raisonnable.The known chassis manufacturing techniques currently do not meet all these requirements, while maintaining a reasonable manufacturing cost.
En effet, la technique de fabrication la plus ancienne consiste à fabriquer de tels châssis à partir d'une tôle pliée, en forme de U, comme montré par exemple dans le
Un tel principe de fabrication, certes peu coûteux, ne permet cependant pas d'obtenir des formes très variées, ni des châssis de grande résistance mécanique sauf à augmenter de façon importante l'épaisseur de la tôle et donc son poids.Such a manufacturing principle, certainly inexpensive, however, does not allow to obtain very varied forms, nor chassis of high mechanical strength except to significantly increase the thickness of the sheet and therefore its weight.
La demande de
Afin d'améliorer la résistance mécanique, on a d'abord essayé d'abandonner la forme en U du châssis pour la remplacer par des formes en T ou Y.In order to improve the mechanical resistance, it was first tried to abandon the U-shape of the frame and replace it with T or Y shapes.
Ces réalisations qui sont complexes à fabriquer ne résolvent que partiellement le problème de rigidité et ne répondent pas aux exigences actuelles de fabrication du châssis, tant au point de vue mécanique qu'au point de l'esthétique.These achievements which are complex to manufacture only partially solve the problem of rigidity and do not meet the current requirements of manufacture of the frame, both mechanically and aesthetically.
Une autre technique couramment utilisée consiste à réaliser les châssis par moulage à partir de matériau synthétique ou encore métallique. Le moulage offre l'avantage de permettre des formes assez variées, mais présente par ailleurs de nombreux inconvénients :
- coûts des moules,
- choix limité de matériaux pouvant être moulés,
- faibles caractéristiques de résistance mécanique de ces matériaux de moulage, même lorsqu'il s'agit de matériaux métalliques,
- précision insuffisante du moulage obligeant à des reprises d'usinage notamment en ce qui concerne l'alignement des trous de fixation des roues ou de la lame du patin pour un châssis à deux flasques.
- mussel costs,
- limited choice of materials that can be molded,
- weak mechanical strength characteristics of these molding materials, even in the case of metallic materials,
- Insufficient precision of the molding necessitating reworking, in particular as regards the alignment of the fixing holes of the wheels or the blade of the pad for a frame with two flanges.
On connaît également des châssis réalisés en fibres composites. De tels châssis peuvent effectivement être réalisés dans quasiment toutes les formes possibles mais ils sont d'une fabrication extrêmement coûteuse et difficile à industrialiser. Par ailleurs de tels châssis sont certes extrêmement rigides mais manquent de souplesse et sont donc fragiles et peu "confortables".Chassis made of composite fibers are also known. Such frames can actually be made in almost all possible forms but they are extremely expensive to manufacture and difficult to industrialize. Moreover, such frames are certainly extremely rigid but lack flexibility and are therefore fragile and not "comfortable".
Enfin, il a été proposé par le
Un tel procédé de fabrication est encore ici très coûteux, du fait du temps d'usinage nécessaire et de la quantité de matière devant être enlevée. Il ne permet pas non plus une grande liberté au niveau de la forme ou du profil du châssis.Such a manufacturing process is still very expensive here, because of the necessary machining time and the amount of material to be removed. It also does not allow much freedom in the shape or profile of the chassis.
Le but de la présente invention est de remédier à ces inconvénients et de fournir un châssis amélioré pour article de sport de glisse et un procédé de fabrication d'un tel châssis qui permette de résoudre les différents problème énoncés ci-avant et qui permette notamment de concilier des caractéristiques de résistance mécanique, d'adaptabilité, de souplesse de réalisation, de légèreté et de faible coût de fabrication.The object of the present invention is to overcome these drawbacks and to provide an improved chassis for sliding sports article and a method of manufacturing such a chassis that can solve the various problems stated above and which allows in particular to reconcile resistance characteristics mechanical, adaptability, flexibility of achievement, lightness and low manufacturing cost.
Ce but est atteint dans le procédé de fabrication selon l'invention par le fait qu'il s'agit d'un châssis en forme de U pour article des sport de glisse et du type comportant au moins une surface d'appui apte à recevoir une chaussure et deux flasques latéraux comportant des moyens de fixation du ou des organes de glisse, et en ce qu'il comprend les étapes consistant à
- découper dans un flanc de métal une forme correspondant sensiblement à la forme développée d'au moins une partie du châssis
- à réaliser par emboutissage dans ladite partie du châssis au moins une nervure de rigidification allongée dans une direction longitudinale du châssis dans une région entre au moins deux moyens de fixation.
- cutting into a metal flank a shape substantially corresponding to the developed shape of at least a portion of the frame
- to be produced by stamping in said portion of the frame at least one stiffening rib elongate in a longitudinal direction of the frame in a region between at least two fastening means.
Ce but est également atteint grâce à un châssis en forme de U pour article de glisse comportant au moins une surface d'appui apte à recevoir une chaussure et deux flasques latéraux comportant des moyens de fixation du ou des organes de glisse, ledit châssis comportant au moins une nervure de rigidification réalisée sur au moins un des flasques par emboutissage. La nervure est allongée dans une direction longitudinale du châssis dans une région entre au moins deux moyens de fixation.This object is also achieved by virtue of a U-shaped frame for a gliding article comprising at least one bearing surface adapted to receive a shoe and two lateral flanges comprising means for fixing the gliding member or members, said frame comprising less a stiffening rib made on at least one of the flanges by stamping. The rib is elongated in a longitudinal direction of the frame in a region between at least two attachment means.
En effet, le fait de rigidifier le châssis à l'aide de nervures par emboutissage permet, à poids égal par rapport à un châssis simplement obtenu par pliage, une augmentation importante des caractéristiques de rigidité et de résistance à la déformation du fait d'une part de la présence de telles nervures mais également du fait de l'écrouissage localisé de matériau obtenu au niveau des dites nervures lié au mode d'obtention par emboutissage.Indeed, the fact of stiffening the frame by means of ribs by stamping allows, at equal weight compared to a frame simply obtained by folding, a significant increase in the characteristics of rigidity and resistance to deformation due to part of the presence of such ribs but also because of the localized hardening of material obtained at said ribs related to the mode of obtaining by stamping.
En fonction du résultat recherché on peut prévoir que chaque nervure s'étende sensiblement sur toute la longueur du flasque du châssis, ou uniquement sur une zone centrale limitée de chaque flasque, ou encore au niveau des extrémités de chaque flasque.Depending on the desired result can be provided that each rib extends substantially over the entire length of the flange of the frame, or only on a limited central area of each flange, or at the ends of each flange.
De tout façon, l'invention sera mieux comprise et d'autres caractéristiques de celle-ci seront mises en évidence à l'aide de la description qui suit en référence au dessin schématique annexé représentant à titre d'exemples non limitatifs, plusieurs formes de réalisation de châssis, et dans lequel :

Ainsi que le montrent les
Chacune des plates-formes 3, 4, constitue une surface d'appui apte à recevoir la chaussure du sportif, cette dernière (non représentée sur le dessin) étant fixée par tout moyen connu en soi et notamment colle, rivets, vis, etc..., mais pouvant être également fixée de façon amovible par des moyens de liaison non permanente.Each of the
On notera également que les plates-formes 3, 4, sont distinctes et séparées l'une de l'autre par une découpe 5, et situées à des niveaux différents en hauteur, la plate-forme 4 étant plus basse que la plate-forme 3, pour tenir compte de la position naturelle, talon légèrement surélevé, d'un sportif.It will also be noted that the
Chaque flasque 2 présente une forme allongée et légèrement cintrée en arc de cercle dans la direction longitudinale.Each flange 2 has an elongated shape and slightly curved arcuate in the longitudinal direction.
A l'extrémité inférieure de chaque flasque, sont prévus des trous 6 pour la fixation de roulettes ou selon le cas, d'une lame de patin.At the lower end of each flange, there are provided
Chaque trou 6 est réalisé dans un bossage cylindrique 7 pouvant être obtenu par matriçage. Les trous 6 situés en correspondance dans les deux flasques 2 sont coaxiaux.Each
Chaque flasque 2 présente par ailleurs une nervure emboutie 8 s'étendant sensiblement sur toute la longueur dudit flasque 2, au dessus des trous de fixation 6 et d'allure générale arquée.Each flange 2 also has a pressed
Comme le montrent plus particulièrement les
Chaque nervure 8 suit par ailleurs de préférence le contour des flasques 1, 2, sur lequel elle est emboutie et présente donc en l'occurrence une forme allongée et également légèrement cintrée en direction longitudinale.Each
Une telle nervure emboutie 8 confère au flasque sur lequel elle est réalisée une augmentation importante du moment d'inertie et de la résistance à la déformation aussi bien en direction longitudinale que verticale, cette augmentation étant liée non seulement à la présence de chaque nervure 8 et à sa forme mais également à l'écrouissage du matériau au niveau de la nervure lors de l'opération d'emboutissage.Such a
Un tel concept de construction et de fabrication permet pratiquement de diviser par deux l'épaisseur et donc le poids de la plaque de tôle utilisée pour réaliser le châssis par rapport à un châssis plié, moulé ou profilé, tout en conservant voire en augmentant les caractéristiques mécaniques.Such a construction and manufacturing concept makes it practically possible to halve the thickness and therefore the weight of the sheet metal plate used to make the frame with respect to a folded, molded or profiled frame, while preserving or even increasing the characteristics. mechanical.
Par ce procédé, on obtient donc un châssis extrêmement léger, résistant et peu coûteux.By this method, we thus obtain an extremely lightweight frame, resistant and inexpensive.
Avantageusement, le châssis sera réalisé à partir d'une tôle laminée dont les fibres se trouvent orientées selon la direction longitudinale du châssis. Une telle caractéristique permet également d'augmenter les qualités de résistance du châssis en direction longitudinale, notamment par rapport à un châssis en alliage injecté ou coulé dans lequel il n'y a pas de formation de fibres.Advantageously, the frame will be made from a rolled sheet whose fibers are oriented in the longitudinal direction of the frame. Such a characteristic also makes it possible to increase the strength qualities of the frame in the longitudinal direction, particularly with respect to an injected or cast alloy frame in which there is no fiber formation.
Par ailleurs, il est possible de modifier/moduler le moment d'inertie du châssis par la prévision de découpes telles que 5, 9, appropriées.Furthermore, it is possible to modify / modulate the moment of inertia of the chassis by the provision of cuts such as 5, 9, appropriate.
Dans le cas présent, la découpe 9, de forme ovale et disposée centralement en dessous de la nervure 8, permet de diminuer la raideur en flexion de chaque flasque 2 dans la zone centrale du châssis et, en combinaison avec la découpe 5 également disposée centralement, permet également de diminuer la raideur en flexion de l'ensemble du châssis dans cette zone.In the present case, the
Un tel châssis peut être obtenu très simplement et de façon monobloc à partir d'un flanc métallique par la succession d'étapes suivantes :
- tout d'abord le flanc est prédécoupé à une forme correspondant à la forme développée du châssis avec une surface augmentée au niveau de la zone de chaque nervure pour tenir compte du phénomène de retrait de matière au moment de l'emboutissage,
- au cours de cette première opération, toutes les découpes telles que 5
et 9 sont également réalisées, - ensuite les deux nervures 8 des deux flaques 1, 2 sont réalisées par emboutissage,
- puis les trous 6 sont réalisés par filage et sont éventuellement taraudés, après une opération préalable de matriçage des bossages 7,
- et enfin la tôle est pliée en U.
- firstly, the blank is precut to a shape corresponding to the developed form of the chassis with an increased surface at the zone of each rib to take into account the phenomenon of shrinkage of material at the time of stamping,
- during this first operation, all the cuts such as 5 and 9 are also made,
- then the two
ribs 8 of the two pans 1, 2 are made by stamping, - then the
holes 6 are made by spinning and are optionally threaded, after a preliminary operation for stamping the bosses 7, - and finally the sheet is folded in U.
Bien entendu, la suite d'opérations décrite ci-avant n'est applicable que si le châssis est réalisé en une seule pièce à partir d'un même flanc métallique. Il peut également être obtenu en plusieurs parties assemblées par tous moyens connus en soi tels que vis, rivet, soudures,... etc.Of course, the sequence of operations described above is only applicable if the frame is made in one piece from the same metal flank. It can also be obtained in several parts assembled by any means known per se such as screws, rivets, welds, etc.
Plus particulièrement, chaque châssis peut être constitué de deux flasques de section transversale générale en forme de « L » et reliés ensemble par la petite branche de chaque « L ».More particularly, each frame may consist of two flanges of general cross section in the form of "L" and connected together by the small branch of each "L".
Par rapport à un châssis aluminium en alliage obtenu par injection au moulage, une telle technique de fabrication par emboutissage, et éventuellement matriçage, pliage, est beaucoup plus précise, ne nécessite pas d'opération d'usinage ultérieure et permet de disposer d'un choix de matériau plus important et avec des caractéristiques plus intéressantes. En effet, le nombre des matières disponibles pour l'injection ou le moulage est très limité et ces matières sont généralement cassantes et ne donnent pas lieu à la formation de fibres.Compared with an aluminum alloy chassis obtained by injection molding, such a technique of manufacturing by stamping, and possibly stamping, folding, is much more precise, does not require a subsequent machining operation and allows to have a choice of material more important and with more interesting features. Indeed, the number of materials available for injection or molding is very limited and these materials are generally brittle and do not give rise to the formation of fibers.
Par ailleurs, les techniques de moulage, injection n'étant pas assez précises, des reprises d'usinage toujours longues et coûteuses seraient nécessaires pour réaliser par exemple let trous de fixation du ou des organes de glisse.Moreover, the molding techniques, injection is not accurate enough, always expensive and time-consuming machining remakes would be necessary to achieve for example the fixing holes of the gliding members.
On notera également que les qualités géométriques d'un châssis embouti sont nettement supérieures à celles d'un châssis en matière plastiques, pour lequel on est confronté du fait des retraits importants de la matière, à des phénomènes de vrillage et d'alignement des trous de fixation des roues nécessitant des opérations de reprise d'usinage.It should also be noted that the geometrical qualities of a stamped frame are clearly superior to those of a plastic frame, for which we are confronted by the large shrinkage of the material, twisting and alignment of the holes fixing wheels requiring machining operations.
A titre indicatif, les temps nécessaires pour produire un châssis dans les différentes techniques peuvent être évalués comme suit :
matière plastique 15 secondes- aluminium profilé + usiné 180 secondes
- aluminium coulé 85 secondes
- aluminium embouti 6 secondes.
-
plastic material 15 seconds - profiled aluminum + machined 180 seconds
- cast aluminum 85 seconds
- stamped
aluminum 6 seconds.
On constate donc le triple gain au niveau temps et coût de fabrication, caractéristiques du matériau et légèreté, réalisé en employant la technique d'emboutissage selon l'invention.There is therefore the triple gain in time and cost of manufacture, characteristics of the material and lightness, achieved by employing the stamping technique according to the invention.
Une autre caractéristique extrêmement avantageuse de la technique d'emboutissage réside dans le fait que les possibilités en terme de design sont supérieures à celles du profilé d'aluminium qui ne permet aucun relief ou forme sur les flancs du profilé obligatoirement plans.Another extremely advantageous characteristic of the stamping technique lies in the fact that the possibilities in terms of design are superior to those of the aluminum profile which does not allow any relief or shape on the sides of the profile necessarily planar.
Par ailleurs, le procédé et la construction de châssis selon l'invention offrent de grandes possibilités pour faire varier le moment d'inertie du châssis le long de l'axe longitudinal de celui-ci, par la prévision des nervurages, découpes ou encore hauteurs de flanc adaptés, afin d'obtenir une déformée du châssis et un comportement optimum du patin en fonction du type de pratique souhaitée.Furthermore, the method and the frame construction according to the invention offer great possibilities for varying the moment of inertia of the frame along the longitudinal axis thereof, by predicting the ribs, cuts or heights sidewall adapted to obtain a deformation of the frame and an optimum behavior of the pad depending on the type of desired practice.
