Abstract

The roller blade comprises a chassis (1) on which are mounted rollers (5,6,7,8) and a boot. The boot heel (2) which has a collar (3) can tip rearward relative to the chassis. A brake (18) which is mounted on a support lever (9) pivoted on the chassis is activated by tipping the heel. The brake support lever extends above the two rear rollers (7,8) and its end is pivoted on the chassis at a point (10) in front of the rear roller. The lever other end (11) is connected to the boot rear. The brake is located above the roller spindles so that rearward tipping of the boot heel and its collar applies the brake on the rear roller in a vertical direction.

Description

La présente invention concerne un patin à roulettes en ligne comprenant un châssis sur lequel sont montées, d'une part, au moins trois roulettes et, d'autre part, une chaussure dont la tige, éventuellement munie d'un collier, est capable de basculer vers l'arrière relativement au châssis, et un frein monté sur un support articulé sur le châssis autour d'un axe parallèle à l'axe des roulettes et actionné par le basculement de la tige, respectivement de son collier, vers l'arrière.The present invention relates to an inline roller skate comprising a chassis on which are mounted, on the one hand, at least three castors and, on the other hand, a shoe whose upper, possibly provided with a collar, is capable of tilt backwards relative to the chassis, and a brake mounted on a support articulated on the chassis around an axis parallel to the axis of the rollers and actuated by the tilting of the rod, respectively of its collar, towards the rear .

Par la suite, par "tige", on entendra aussi bien une tige équipée d'un collier qu'une tige sans collier.Subsequently, by "rod" is meant both a rod fitted with a collar and a rod without a collar.

De tels patins sont décrits dans les brevets US 5 435 579, 5 462 296 et 5 465 984 et dans le brevet EP 681 856. Tous ces patins comprennent un frein constitué d'un sabot monté à l'arrière du patin et destiné à freiner par frottement sur le sol. Ce sabot est articulé à l'arrière du châssis et il est actionné directement par le collier articulé sur la tige de la chaussure, par l'intermédiaire d'une barre de poussée. Le freinage exige un effort important de la jambe. D'autre part, lors du passage d'un obstacle, en particulier lors de la descente d'une marche d'escalier ou d'un trottoir, le sabot vient généralement buter sur la marche, ce qui non seulement provoque un freinage intempestif, mais se traduit par un choc sur le bas de la jambe.Such pads are described in US Patents 5,435,579, 5,462,296 and 5,465,984 and in Patent EP 681,856. All of these pads include a brake consisting of a shoe mounted on the back of the pad and intended to brake by friction on the ground. This shoe is articulated at the rear of the chassis and is actuated directly by the collar articulated on the upper of the shoe, via a push bar. Braking requires significant effort from the leg. On the other hand, when passing an obstacle, in particular when descending a staircase or a sidewalk, the shoe generally comes up against the step, which not only causes untimely braking, but results in a shock on the lower leg.

De la demande de brevet WO 96/01 139 on connaît un patin comprenant un frein également constitué d'un sabot monté à l'extrémité d'un double levier en L en arrière du châssis portant les roulettes, ce levier étant articulé sur l'axe de l'avant dernière roulette et présentant un bras relié à un collier entourant la jambe du patineur, au-dessus de la chaussure.Patent application WO 96/01 139 discloses a shoe comprising a brake also consisting of a shoe mounted at the end of a double L-shaped lever behind the chassis carrying the rollers, this lever being articulated on the axis of the penultimate caster and presenting an arm connected to a collar surrounding the skater's leg, above the shoe.

Du brevet EP 0 600 274, on connaît en outre un patin à roulettes en ligne équipé d'un frein constitué d'un sabot articulé autour d'un axe horizontal entre les deux roulettes arrières et relié, d'un côté, par un câble de traction, au collier de la chaussure et, de l'autre côté, à un ressort de rappel, de telle manière qu'il freine sur la roulette arrière lorsque la jambe fléchit vers l'avant et qu'il freine sur l'avant dernière roulette lorsque la jambe fléchit vers l'arrière.From patent EP 0 600 274, an in-line roller skate is also known, equipped with a brake consisting of a shoe articulated around a horizontal axis between the two rear rollers and connected, on one side, by a cable. traction, to the shoe collar and, on the other side, to a return spring, so that it brakes on the rear caster when the leg bends forward and that it brakes on the front last wheel when the leg bends backwards.

L'invention a pour but de réaliser un frein totalement intégré au châssis et actionnable par la tige de la chaussure avec un effort moindre et plus facile à doser.The invention aims to achieve a brake fully integrated into the chassis and actuable by the upper of the shoe with less effort and easier to dose.

Le patin selon l'invention est caractérisé en ce que le support de frein est un levier du deuxième genre, qui s'étend au-dessus des deux roulettes arrières et dont une extrémité est articulée sur le châssis en un point situé en avant de la roulette arrière et l'autre extrémité est reliée à l'arrière de la chaussure, et en ce que le frein est situé au-dessus des axes des roulettes, de telle manière que le basculement en arrière de la tige de la chaussure, respectivement de son collier, a pour effet d'appliquer le frein au moins sur la roulette arrière dans une direction au moins approximativement verticale.The shoe according to the invention is characterized in that the brake support is a lever of the second kind, which extends above the two rear rollers and one end of which is articulated on the chassis at a point situated in front of the rear caster and the other end is connected to the rear of the shoe, and in that the brake is located above the axes of the rollers, so that the rear tilting of the upper of the shoe, respectively its collar has the effect of applying the brake at least to the rear caster in an at least approximately vertical direction.

Le frein agit de préférence simultanément sur les deux roulettes arrière. Il est avantageusement constitué d'une paire de disques montés rotativement et présentant des faces en regard tronconiques pour leur entraînement par les roulettes, le freinage se faisant par frottement sur les parois du châssis.The brake preferably acts simultaneously on the two rear casters. It advantageously consists of a pair of rotatably mounted discs having frustoconical facing faces for their drive by the rollers, the braking being effected by friction on the walls of the chassis.

Le châssis étant généralement constitué d'une pièce profilée en U, le levier et le frein peuvent être montés à l'intérieur du châssis. Un tel frein est totalement intégré au châssis.The chassis generally being made up of a U-shaped part, the lever and the brake can be mounted inside the chassis. Such a brake is fully integrated into the chassis.

Contrairement au sabot freinant sur le sol, à l'arrière, le frein du patin selon l'invention peut avoir une course sensiblement plus faible, ce qui permet d'obtenir un freinage avec un déplacement réduit de la tige de la chaussure, c'est-à-dire un déplacement réduit de l'un des patins vers l'avant relativement à l'autre patin.Unlike the shoe braking on the ground, at the rear, the shoe brake according to the invention can have a significantly shorter stroke, which makes it possible to obtain braking with a reduced displacement of the upper of the shoe, it that is to say a reduced displacement of one of the pads forward relative to the other pad.

Le dessin annexé représente, à titre d'exemple, quelques modes d'exécution de l'invention.The accompanying drawing shows, by way of example, some embodiments of the invention.

La figure 1 est une vue de côté en position non freinée, d'un premier mode d'exécution.Figure 1 is a side view in the unbraked position, of a first embodiment.

La figure 5 est une vue partielle d'un troisième mode d'exécution.Figure 5 is a partial view of a third embodiment.

La figure 6 est une vue partielle d'un quatrième mode d'exécution.Figure 6 is a partial view of a fourth embodiment.

Le patin représenté aux figures 1 à 3 comprend un châssis 1, par exemple en aluminium, présentant un profil en U renversé formant deux plates-forme 1a et 1b sur lesquelles est fixée une chaussure comprenant une tige 2 sur laquelle est articulé un collier 3 autour d'un axe 4 dans la région malléolaire, ce collier étant destiné à entourer la cheville. Le châssis 1 est muni de quatre roulettes en ligne 5, 6, 7, 8. Entre les roulettes 6 et 7, approximativement au milieu du châssis 1 et entre les ailes de celui-ci est articulé, par l'une de ses extrémités, un levier 9 autour d'un axe 10 parallèle aux axes des roulettes et monté entre les ailes du châssis 1. L'autre extrémité du levier 9 est articulée en un point 11, à l'extrémité d'une barre 12 s'appuyant, par une portée 12a, sur une console 13 du collier 3 de la chaussure. La barre 12 traverse la console 13 par une partie 12b entourée d'un ressort 14 travaillant en compression entre une butée solidaire de la partie 12b et la console 13.The skate shown in Figures 1 to 3 comprises a frame 1, for example of aluminum, having an inverted U-shaped profile forming two platforms 1a and 1b on which is fixed a shoe comprising a rod 2 on which is hinged a collar 3 an axis 4 in the malleolar region, this collar being intended to surround the ankle. The chassis 1 is provided with four in-line rollers 5, 6, 7, 8. Between the rollers 6 and 7, approximately in the middle of the chassis 1 and between the wings of the latter is articulated, by one of its ends, a lever 9 around an axis 10 parallel to the axes of the rollers and mounted between the wings of the chassis 1. The other end of the lever 9 is articulated at a point 11, at the end of a bar 12 bearing, by a range 12a, on a console 13 of the collar 3 of the shoe. The bar 12 passes through the console 13 through a part 12b surrounded by a spring 14 working in compression between a stop secured to the part 12b and the console 13.

Dans sa partie située à l'intérieur du châssis 1, le levier 9 est muni d'un support 15 dirigé vers le bas et portant un axe transversal 16 parallèle aux axes des roulettes. Sur cet axe 16 sont montés rotativement deux disques identiques 17 et 18 présentant des faces en regard tronconiques et des faces extérieures planes munies d'une garniture de frein. Les extrémités de l'axe 16 sont engagées dans deux lumières verticales 19 et 20 formées dans le châssis 1 à égale distance des axes des deux roulettes arrières 7 et 8.In its part located inside the chassis 1, the lever 9 is provided with a support 15 directed downwards and carrying a transverse axis 16 parallel to the axes of the rollers. On this axis 16 are rotatably mounted two identical discs 17 and 18 having frustoconical facing faces and flat outer faces provided with a brake lining. The ends of the axis 16 are engaged in two vertical slots 19 and 20 formed in the chassis 1 at equal distance from the axes of the two rear rollers 7 and 8.

Lors du basculement du collier de la chaussure vers l'arrière, la barre 12 actionne le levier 9, ce qui a pour effet d'appliquer les faces tronconiques des disques 17 et 18 sur les roulettes 7 et 8. Les disques 17 et 18 sont écartés par ces roulettes et appliqués contre les ailes du châssis 1 tout en étant entraînés en rotation par les roulettes. Le freinage se fait par friction contre le châssis. Lors du redressement du collier 3, le ressort 14 entraîne la barre 12 et avec elle le levier 9 vers le haut. Les disques n'appuient plus sur les roulettes et ils ne sont donc plus entraînés en rotation.When the shoe collar is tilted towards the rear, the bar 12 actuates the lever 9, which has the effect of applying the frustoconical faces of the discs 17 and 18 on the rollers 7 and 8. The discs 17 and 18 are separated by these rollers and applied against the wings of the chassis 1 while being driven in rotation by the rollers. Braking is done by friction against the chassis. When the collar 3 is straightened, the spring 14 drives the bar 12 and with it the lever 9 upwards. The discs no longer press on the rollers and they are therefore no longer rotated.

Les lumières 19 et 20 peuvent être utilisées pour guider l'axe 16 selon la médiatrice de la droite reliant les axes des roulettes 7 et 8. L'axe 16 pourrait dès lors être monté avec un jeu latéral dans le support 15, par exemple dans une lumière horizontale. L'axe d'articulation 10 du levier 9 pourrait alors être rapproché du frein, au-dessus de la roulette 7 de manière à augmenter l'effet de levier, tout en conservant une pression égale sur les roulettes 7 et 8.The lights 19 and 20 can be used to guide the axis 16 along the perpendicular bisector of the straight line connecting the axes of the rollers 7 and 8. The axis 16 could therefore be mounted with lateral play in the support 15, for example in a horizontal light. The articulation axis 10 of the lever 9 could then be brought closer to the brake, above the caster 7 so as to increase the leverage, while maintaining equal pressure on the rollers 7 and 8.

Le levier 9 et la barre 12 pourraient être en une seule pièce présentant une flexibilité suffisante au coude correspondant à l'articulation 11.The lever 9 and the bar 12 could be in one piece having sufficient flexibility at the elbow corresponding to the joint 11.

Si la chaussure est fixée amoviblement au patin, la liaison entre le levier 9 et la chaussure doit pouvoir être supprimée. Un mode d'exécution satisfaisant cette condition est représenté partiellement à la figure 4, la partie non représentée étant identique à la figure 1. Le levier 9 est articulé à une barre filetée 21 vissée dans une douille 22 munie à son extrémité supérieure d'une barrette cylindrique transversale 23 venant s'engager, avec un certain pincement, dans un logement 24 du collier 3 formant cran d'accrochage et articulation pour la douille 22. La barrette 23 est introduite dans son logement 24 par une simple pression et elle peut être retirée de son logement par une simple traction radiale sur la barrette 23. La désolidarisation du collier et de la douille 22 est également exécutée pour le réglage de la longueur de la biellette, formée par la barre 21 et la douille 23, par la rotation de la douille 22.If the shoe is removably attached to the shoe, the connection between the lever 9 and the shoe must be able to be removed. An embodiment satisfying this condition is partially shown in Figure 4, the part not shown being identical to Figure 1. The lever 9 is articulated to a threaded bar 21 screwed into a socket 22 provided at its upper end with a transverse cylindrical bar 23 coming to engage, with a certain pinching, in a housing 24 of the collar 3 forming a hooking notch and articulation for the socket 22. The bar 23 is inserted into its housing 24 by a simple pressure and it can be removed from its housing by a simple radial pull on the bar 23. The separation of the collar and the bush 22 is also carried out for adjusting the length of the rod, formed by the bar 21 and the bush 23, by the rotation of the bush 22.

Au lieu d'une liaison détachable, il est possible de réaliser un actionnement du levier par le collier sans liaison. Un mode d'exécution satisfaisant cette condition est représenté à la figure 5.Instead of a detachable connection, it is possible to actuate the lever by the collar without connection. An embodiment satisfying this condition is shown in FIG. 5.

Le levier 9 n'est pas relié à la chaussure, mais à une pièce de transmission 25 s'étendant à l'arrière de la chaussure, au-dessus de la plateforme 1b, en direction du collier 3 en épousant l'arrondi de la tige 2. Cette pièce 25 présente une découpe 26 dans laquelle est logé un ressort 27 travaillant en compression entre le fond de la découpe et la plateforme 1b. La pièce 25 est retenue par le levier 9 dont l'articulation 11 vient en butée contre la plateforme 1b. La retenue pourrait également se faire par la venue en butée des disques 17 et 18 contre la plateforme 1b. Lors de son basculement en arrière, le collier 3 vient buter sur une portée 25a de la pièce de transmission 25 par son bord 3a et actionner le levier 9. La pièce 25 a donc la fonction d'un poussoir.The lever 9 is not connected to the shoe, but to a transmission part 25 extending at the rear of the shoe, above the platform 1b, in the direction of the collar 3 by following the rounding of the rod 2. This part 25 has a cutout 26 in which is housed a spring 27 working in compression between the bottom of the cutout and the platform 1b. The part 25 is retained by the lever 9, the articulation 11 of which abuts against the platform 1b. The retention could also be done by the abutment of the discs 17 and 18 against the platform 1b. When tilting back, the collar 3 abuts on a surface 25a of the transmission part 25 by its edge 3a and actuate the lever 9. The part 25 therefore has the function of a pusher.

L'absence de liaison permanente entre le frein et le collier permet en outre à ce dernier d'osciller librement, en particulier vers l'avant, sans être gêné par frein.The absence of a permanent link between the brake and the collar also allows the latter to oscillate freely, in particular forwards, without being hindered by brake.

Dans le mode d'exécution représenté à la figure 6, le levier 9 n'est pas relié au collier 3, mais il est articulé à une barre poussoir 28 guidée à travers une console 29 de la tige 2 de la chaussure et munie d'une tête 30. Un ressort 31, monté entre cette tête 30 et la console 29 maintient la barre 28 et le levier 9 en position haute. La longueur active de la barre 28 peut être modifiée à son articulation 11 avec le levier 9. Cette articulation est constituée d'une noix 32 articulée entre les bras du levier 9 et traversée par l'extrémité filetée 28a de la barre 28 sur laquelle est monté un écrou circulaire moleté 33 retenu axialemement dans la noix 32 selon une construction connue. Lors de son basculement en arrière, le collier 3 vient presser sur la tête 30 et actionner le frein.In the embodiment shown in Figure 6, the lever 9 is not connected to the collar 3, but it is articulated to a push bar 28 guided through a console 29 of the upper 2 of the shoe and provided with a head 30. A spring 31, mounted between this head 30 and the console 29 maintains the bar 28 and the lever 9 in the high position. The active length of the bar 28 can be modified at its articulation 11 with the lever 9. This articulation consists of a nut 32 articulated between the arms of the lever 9 and crossed by the threaded end 28a of the bar 28 on which is mounted a knurled circular nut 33 axially retained in the nut 32 according to a known construction. When tilting back, the collar 3 presses on the head 30 and actuates the brake.

L'invention est également applicable à une chaussure dont la tige n'est pas munie d'un collier, pour autant que la tige présente une souplesse suffisante permettant son basculement vers l'arrière.The invention is also applicable to a shoe, the upper of which is not provided with a collar, provided that the upper has sufficient flexibility allowing it to tilt backwards.
