Definitions

  • the invention relates to the field of means for retaining a shoe on a gliding board intended for the practice of snowboarding.
  • the invention relates more particularly to means for retaining a shoe which allows movements of flexion or inclination of the leg relative to the foot of a user.
  • the user is always required to make movements with the body and the limbs to manage his balance at the same time as he is driving the board. It turns out to be very difficult to perfectly coordinate the management of balance and the handling of the board in curved trajectories, in turns or on a bump.
  • This change in inclination generally has the effect of suddenly modifying the contact surface of the board on the ground.
  • the driving is disturbed and the trajectory control is random, because the reaction forces of the ground on the board vary in considerable proportions.
  • the prior art has proposed devices which give a certain flexibility of positioning between each foot and the board.
  • document FR 2 650 752 This is for example the case of document FR 2 650 752, the aim of which is to allow the user to place himself in the most comfortable and balanced position during the changes, thanks to flexible joints arranged between the feet. and the board.
  • the device according to document FR 2 650 752 does not, however, allow the user to manage the support variations. Indeed, the flexibility of the joints does not favor precise guidance and does not allow the user to correctly identify the sensory information he receives. Therefore, this system is not really satisfactory and control of curved trajectories is difficult, if not impossible.
  • Document DE 89 02 125 proposes a device for retaining a shoe on a board comprising a shell articulated on a base along a transverse axis. The articulation allows a range of the device for transport.
  • a removable elastic means is able to hold the shell relative to the base in a position of use. The elastic means acts to imitate a flexing movement from the lower leg to the foot. It follows that the user can easily take support with the forefoot.
  • the object of the invention is to remedy the drawbacks listed above. To do this, it proposes a device for retaining a boot on a gliding board, the device notably comprising a back support element for ensuring the rear support of the lower leg and a base intended to receive the sole of the shoe, the back support element being articulated on the base along a substantially transverse axis YY 'of the device.
  • the invention is characterized in that at least one braking means opposes an articulation movement of the dorsal support element relative to the base along the axis Y-Y ', in at least a sense of articulation.
  • This structure makes it possible to damp the articulation movement in each direction in which the braking means acts; in movement in this sense, only sensory information useful for driving pass through the device, while parasitic vibrations are absorbed. The user can therefore advantageously drive the board with better control.
  • the device according to the invention is also characterized in that a return means keeps the back support element substantially in contact with the lower leg. It follows that the back support element is permanently in contact with the lower leg. Consequently, the braking means acts, in each of the possible directions, as soon as the lower leg moves.
  • the advantage is that the driving test is instantaneous.
  • the device according to the invention is preferably characterized in that the braking means opposes the articulation movement relative to the axis YY ′ of the back support element relative to the base in one direction anteroposterior.
  • the back support position returns gradually.
  • the user can advantageously take his rear supports with good progressiveness.
  • the invention is characterized in that the back support element is in one piece. This structure gives the device a lateral stiffness with respect to the foot which is suitable for cornering.
  • the invention is characterized in that the back support element comprises a shell and a hoop articulated relative to each other along an axis XX 'situated in a substantially longitudinal plane of the device.
  • This structure gives the device a degree of lateral freedom of the lower leg relative to the foot which is suitable for the execution of figures of style.
  • the invention is also characterized by the fact that a stop means limits the articulation movement of the back support element relative to the base along the axis YY 'in a direction of extension from the bottom leg relative to the foot or anteroposterior sense.
  • the invention is characterized in that at least one elastic means cooperates with the braking means.
  • the elastic means permanently urges the dorsal support element relative to the base in a hinge movement along the axis Y-Y 'in a postero-anterior direction.
  • This structure favors the bending movements of the legs of the user who can advantageously lean forward with vivacity.
  • the device according to the invention is characterized in that the elastic means is a compression spring, one end of which urges the back support element and the other end of which requests the base, in one direction distance, and in that the braking means is a fluid contained in a sheath.
  • the elastic means is a compression spring, one end of which urges the back support element and the other end of which requests the base, in one direction distance
  • the braking means is a fluid contained in a sheath.
  • An alternative embodiment of the device according to the invention is characterized in that the elastic means is a compression spring, one end of which urges the back support element and the other end of which urges the base, in a direction of distance, and in that the braking means is a friction joint integral with a bar and rubbing inside a sheath.
  • the advantage is that the spring eliminates the snow wedges and that the shock absorber is simple to manufacture.
  • the elastic means is a torsion spring, one end of which is linked to the back support element and the other end of which is linked to the base, and in that the means of braking comprises at least one layer of a viscoelastic material associated with two toothed wheels.
  • the advantage of this structure is that the viscoelastic material makes the device insensitive to moisture.
  • Another alternative embodiment of the invention is characterized in that the elastic means is a torsion spring, one end of which is linked to the back support element and the other end of which is linked to the base, and in that the braking means is a friction disc associated with two toothed wheels.
  • This alternative embodiment has the advantage of a small footprint.
  • FIGS 1 and 1a show a gliding board 1 on top of which are fixed two retaining devices 2 of the shoes 3 of a user.
  • Each device 2 comprises a base 4 for maintaining the foot and a back support element 5 for taking support, in particular when cornering where the user leans on the rear edge and has his back facing the slope.
  • the devices 2 are oriented respectively in a substantially transverse direction of the board 1, so that the ends of the feet are close to a longitudinal front side 6, and the heels are close to a longitudinal dorsal side 7 of the board 1 .
  • Each device 2 comprises means for retaining the boot 3 on the device 2, represented in the form of straps 8, 9, the straps 8, 9 holding the boot 3 on the base 4 at the level of the foot, and comprises a means of the back support element on the lower leg, shown in the form of a strap 10 holding the shoe 3 on the back support element 5 at the lower leg.
  • the back support element 5 is articulated relative to the base 4 by an articulation means, represented here in the form of rivets 11, so that the back support element 5 can pivot relative to the base 4 about an axis YY 'substantially transverse of the device 2.
  • the axis YY' is transverse relative to a longitudinal direction of the device 2 s extending substantially from the fingers to the heel of the foot.
  • an elastic means permanently biases the back support element 5 relative to the base 4 according to a rotational movement relative to the axis YY ′ in a direction of bending of the lower leg towards the foot.
  • This elastic means can be a compression spring 12 visible in FIGS. 1, 1a, 2, 3, 4.
  • the spring 12 is guided by a bar 13 of cylindrical section.
  • the spring 12 is supported by one of its ends on a cup 14 secured to the bar 13 by any suitable means such as a weld 15.
  • the spring 12 is supported by the other end on a plug 16 itself fixed on a sheath 17, for example by means of a thread 18.
  • the plug 16 is pierced in its center by a reamed hole 19 which serves to guide the rod 13 in a direction of compression or extension of the spring 12.
  • the sheath 17 is extended at its end opposite to the plug 16 by a flat 20 pierced with a hole 21 with an axis 22.
  • the bar 13 is extended at its end exiting by the reamed hole 19 by a flat 23 pierced with a hole 24 d axis 25.
  • the bar 13 is therefore able to penetrate into the sheath 17 against the action of the spring 12 while being guided in the sheath 17 by the reamed hole 19 of the plug 16.
  • the sleeve 17 is articulated by the axis 22 common to a pin 26, to the hole 21 of the plate 20, and to two orifices of a base 27, on the element back support 5.
  • the bar 13 is articulated by the axis 25 common to a pin 28, to the hole 24 of the plate 23, and to two orifices of a base 29, on the base 4.
  • a braking means permanently damps a reentry movement of the bar 13 in the sheath 17; this braking means is shown here in the form of a circular lip seal 30, the lip being oriented in a direction which opposes the entry of the bar 13, but which does not retain its exit.
  • the seal 30 is retained on the bar 13 by any suitable means, such as two rings 31, 32 themselves immobilized on the bar 13 by two pins 33, 34.
  • Means for stopping the movement of the back support element 5 relative to the base 4 in a direction of extension of the foot is produced for example by the combination of the bottom 35 of the sheath and the tip 36 of the bar 13. When the bottom 35 and the tip 36 are in contact, the spring 12 is in a state of maximum compression.
  • the retaining device 2 allows a user to flex the legs quickly and easily while urging the longitudinal dorsal side 7 of the board 1 towards the ground, thanks to the permanent action of the spring 12. As a result, permanent contact is made between the dorsal side 7 and the ground in turns or on bumps where the user has his back facing the slope of the terrain. The movements of the body and legs made to maintain balance therefore do not disturb the handling of board 1.
  • the plug 16 could be made of bronze, the bar 13 made of steel, the spring 12 made of alloy steel.
  • the lip seal 30 is preferably made of rubber or molded polyurethane.
  • the back support element 5 comprises a shell 37 and a hoop 38 forming a single block, obtained for example from injected plastic.
  • the back support element 5 comprises a shell 39 articulated on a hoop 40 along an axis XX ′ substantially longitudinal of the shoe; the articulation can be done using a rivet or any other means and facilitates lateral inclinations of the lower leg, along the axis XX '.
  • the spirit of the invention is unchanged.
  • the spring 12 always biases the lower leg in flexion relative to the foot in the direction of the arrow F, by acting permanently between the arch 38 or 40 and the base 4 in a respective direction of separation.
  • FIGS. 5 and 6 Another embodiment of the invention is proposed using FIGS. 5 and 6. For reasons of convenience, the same parts are designated by the same references.
  • a back support element 5 comprising a shell 37 and a hoop 38 articulated on a base 4 along a substantially transverse axis Y-Y '.
  • a torsion spring 41 acts permanently between the base 4 and the arch 38 to urge the arch 38 and maintain contact between the shoe 3 and the shell 37.
  • ends 42 and 43 of the spring 41 are secured respectively to the base 4 and to the arch 38 passing through holes in the base 4 and the arch 38.
  • the spring 41 remains in place thanks to the permanent stress an elastic washer 44 which is interposed between the base 4 and a shoulder 45 of a rivet 46 of axis Y-Y '.
  • the rivet 46 serves to hold the base 4 and the arch 38 relative to each other, and also serves as a guide in rotation to a wheel 47, a wheel 48 and a disc 49, all drilled in their center. for the passage of the rivet 46, and all located between the base 4 and the arch 38.
  • the wheel 47 comprises a flat side 50 secured to the base 4 by any means such as bonding, and a toothed side 51 opposite the flat side 50.
  • the wheel 48 includes a toothed side 52 whose profile is complementary to the side 51 of the wheel 47, and a flat side 53 secured to the disc 49 by any means such as bonding.
  • the disc 49 comprises a side 54 secured to the wheel 48, and a side 55 capable of rubbing on the hoop 38.
  • the toothed wheels 47 and 48 behave like a ratchet freewheel allowing only one direction of rotation relative to the axis Y-Y '.
  • the disc 49 behaves like a brake which dissipates energy by friction.
  • a movement of the arch 38 relative to the base 4 in the direction of the arrow F in FIG. 5 is quick and easy, while a reverse movement is slowed down by the friction exerted between the surfaces common to the disc 49 and roll bar 38.
  • the teeth of the wheels 47 and 48 are able to move relative to each other when the arch 38 moves so as to allow bending of the foot, because the elasticity of the washer 44 allows a slight relative movement in a direction of separation from the walls constituting the arch 38 and the base 4 following the action of the teeth.
  • the inclination of the teeth acts in one direction.
  • the rivet 46, the base 4 and the arch 38 can be made of metal or of synthetic material shaped by any known means such as injection or machining.
