Description

La présente invention concerne un dispositif d'appui d'une chaussure de ski sur un ski et plus particulièrement un perfectionnement destiné à un appui mobile au moins transversalement par rapport à l'axe longitudinal du ski.The present invention relates to a support device for a ski boot on a ski and more particularly an improvement intended for mobile support at least transversely to the axis longitudinal of the ski.

En général, la chaussure d'un skieur est retenue sur le ski de façon déclenchable par son extrémité avant grâce à une fixation avant appelée communément "butée", et par son extrémité arrière, et notamment son talon, grâce à une fixation arrière communément appelée "talonnière".In general, the shoe of a skier is retained on the ski so triggered by its front end thanks to a front fixing called commonly "stop", and by its rear end, and in particular its heel, thanks to a rear attachment commonly known as a "heel piece".

En cas d'efforts importants, la libération de la chaussure de ski, mettant en danger la jambe ou les articulations du skieur, se fait par libération soit de l'avant, soit du talon de la chaussure, soit des deux à la fois. A cet effet, la butée avant comprend, par exemple, une mâchoire pivotant au moins latéralement autour d'un axe vertical, tandis que la talonnière comprend généralement une mâchoire pivotant vers le haut autour d'un axe transversal, la mâchoire de la butée et celle de la talonnière étant chacune sollicitées par un ressort de déclenchement dont la compression est réglable pour assurer au skieur une valeur d'effort pour la libération de sa chaussure adaptée.In the event of significant efforts, the release of the ski boot, endangering the skier's leg or joints, is done by release either from the front or the heel of the shoe, or from both to the time. For this purpose, the front stop comprises, for example, a jaw pivoting at least laterally around a vertical axis, while the heel piece usually includes an upwardly swiveling jaw around a transverse axis, the jaw of the stopper and that of the each heel being acted upon by a trigger spring whose compression is adjustable to provide the skier with an effort value for the release of his adapted shoe.

Il est déjà connu de mettre sous l'avant de la chaussure un dispositif d'appui pour limiter le frottement de la surface inférieure de l'extrémité avant de la semelle sur le ski. Ce dispositif est donc fixé ou lié au ski et disposé à l'avant de la chaussure entre la semelle et la surface supérieure du ski. Ainsi, l'avant de la semelle ne repose pas directement sur le ski mais sur ce dispositif d'appui qui est, par exemple, constitué par un élément fixe comme une plaquette réalisée dans un matériau de faible coefficient de frottement comme en polytétrafluoréthylène, ou constitué par un élément mobile accompagnant latéralement l'extrémité de la chaussure lors de ses déplacements latéraux. Des dispositifs de ce genre sont décrits, par exemple, dans la demande de brevet FR 89 12761 publiée sous le numéro 2 652 508. Un tel dispositif, même s'il apporte déjà au skieur une amélioration de sa sécurité n'est toutefois pas parfait car il se peut que le déplacement de l'élément mobile sur son support soit contrarié de façon anarchique et incontrôlée. Un autre dispositif est décrit dans le brevet EP.A.0447 779 où un élément mobile accompagne le déplacement de la chaussure en prenant appui vers le bas sur un élément antifriction.It is already known to put under the front of the shoe a support device to limit the friction of the lower surface of the front end of the sole on the ski. This device is therefore fixed or linked on the ski and placed at the front of the boot between the sole and the surface superior of skiing. So the front of the sole does not rest directly on the ski but on this support device which is, for example, constituted by a fixed element such as a plate made of a material of low friction coefficient as in polytetrafluoroethylene, or made up by a movable element laterally accompanying the end of the shoe during its lateral movements. Devices of this kind are described, for example, in published patent application FR 89 12761 under the number 2 652 508. Such a device, even if it already provides However, improving your safety is not perfect because it may the displacement of the movable element on its support be upset anarchically and uncontrollably. Another device is described in patent EP.A.0447 779 where a movable element accompanies the movement of the shoe by bearing down on an anti-friction element.

La présente invention veut donc résoudre les inconvénients cités précédemment en proposant qu'il soit prévu un élément antifriction entre l'élément mobile et son support.The present invention therefore seeks to solve the drawbacks mentioned previously by proposing that an anti-friction element be provided between the movable element and its support.

Ainsi, le dispositif d'appui d'une chaussure de ski sur un ski selon l'invention comprend un élément mobile d'appui pour la chaussure qui est mobile au moins en déplacement transversal sur un support et qui s'appuie sur ledit support vers le bas par l'intermédiaire d'au moins un élément antifriction et est caractérisé en ce que l'élément mobile d'appui s'appuie sur le support au moins vers l'avant et/ou vers l'arrière par l'intermédiaire d'au moins un élément antifriction. Bien entendu, on peut aussi prévoir que la retenue vers le haut de l'élément mobile d'appui se fasse par l'intermédiaire d'un élément antifriction.Thus, the device for supporting a ski boot on a ski according to the invention comprises a movable support element for the shoe which is movable at least in transverse displacement on a support and which is supported on said support downwards by means of at least one anti-friction element and is characterized in that the movable support element rests on the support at least forward and / or backward through at least one anti-friction element. Of course, we can also plan that the upward retention of the movable support element is done by through an anti-friction element.

Selon une caractéristique complémentaire, l'élément antifriction est réalisé en matériau de faible coefficient de frottement comme, par exemple, un matériau ayant un plus faible coefficient de frottement que celui dans lequel est réalisé le support et/ou l'élément mobile d'appui. Ainsi, il peut être réalisé en polytétrafluoréthylène ou en polyéthylène de haute densité, tandis que le support est en polypropylène ou polyamide et l'élément mobile d'appui (10) est réalisé en matière plastique telle qu'en résine acétale ou autre comme en matériau métallique.According to an additional characteristic, the anti-friction element is made of a material with a low coefficient of friction, such as example, a material with a lower coefficient of friction than the one in which the support and / or the movable support element is produced. Thus, it can be made of polytetrafluoroethylene or polyethylene of high density, while the support is made of polypropylene or polyamide and the movable support element (10) is made of plastic material such as acetal or other resin as in metallic material.

Selon une autre caractéristique, l'élément antifriction comprend une plaquette antifriction inférieure horizontale et au moins une plaquette antifriction avant. Dans un mode préféré, l'élément comprend aussi une plaquette antifriction arrière.According to another characteristic, the anti-friction element includes a horizontal bottom anti-friction pad and at least a front anti-friction plate. In a preferred mode, the element also includes a rear anti-friction pad.

Selon un des modes d'exécution, la plaquette antifriction avant et/ou arrière est solidaire et fait corps avec la plaquette antifriction inférieure, tandis que dans un autre mode d'exécution la plaquette antifriction avant et/ou arrière est indépendante de la plaquette antifriction inférieure.According to one embodiment, the front anti-friction plate and / or rear is integral and integral with the anti-friction plate lower, while in another embodiment the plate front and / or rear antifriction is independent of the pad lower antifriction.

Dans le mode de réalisation préféré mais donné à titre d'exemple, l'élément antifriction comprend au moins une plaquette antifriction inférieure horizontale disposée entre la face inférieure de l'élément mobile d'appui et la surface supérieure d'une rainure de déplacement dudit élément mobile d'appui, ledit élément antifriction comprenant, de plus, une plaquette antifriction frontale et une plaquette antifriction arrière, la plaquette antifriction frontale étant disposée entre la face arrière d'une gorge avant et la face avant d'une bordure avant de l'élément mobile d'appui, tandis que la plaquette antifriction arrière est disposée entre la face avant d'une gorge arrière et la face arrière dudit élément mobile d'appui. In the preferred embodiment but given as example, the anti-friction element comprises at least one plate horizontal lower friction placed between the underside of the movable support element and the upper surface of a groove of displacement of said movable support element, said anti-friction element further comprising a front anti-friction plate and a plate rear anti-friction, the front anti-friction plate being disposed between the back side of a front groove and the front side of a front edge of the movable support element, while the rear anti-friction plate is disposed between the front face of a rear groove and the rear face of said mobile support element.

Notons que l'élément mobile d'appui se déplace transversalement dans une rainure de coulissement courbe réalisée dans le support, tandis que l'élément mobile d'appui est un profil courbe de même courbure que ladite rainure. Ajoutons que selon une caractéristique complémentaire, le rayon de courbure est compris entre 150 et 300 millimètres, comme par exemple 230 millimètres.Note that the movable support element moves transversely in a curved sliding groove made in the support, while that the movable support element is a curved profile with the same curvature as said groove. Let us add that according to an additional characteristic, the radius of curvature is between 150 and 300 millimeters, as per example 230 millimeters.

On comprend bien l'intérêt de l'invention qui permet d'améliorer le déplacement de l'élément mobile d'appui par diminution des frottements et surtout de les rendre constants. Ajoutons que la présence de l'élément antifriction entre l'élément mobile d'appui et le support, permettra d'obtenir une fiabilité des déclenchements de la fixation quels que soient les efforts appliqués par la chaussure sur le dispositif, et ce même en cas d'efforts vers l'avant et vers l'arrière, grâce aux plaquettes antifriction avant et arrièreWe understand the advantage of the invention which improves the displacement of the mobile support element by reducing the friction and above all to make them constant. Add that the presence the anti-friction element between the movable support element and the support, will allow to obtain a reliability of the releases of the fixation which whatever the forces applied by the shoe on the device, and this even with forward and backward efforts, thanks to the pads front and rear friction

La figure 16 est une vue similaire à la figure 4 illustrant une variante d'exécution.Figure 16 is a view similar to Figure 4 illustrating a variant.

Comme nous l'avons dit précédemment et comme cela apparaít sur les figures 1 et 2, la chaussure (1) du skieur est retenue sur le ski (2) de façon déclenchable par son extrémité avant (3) grâce à une fixation de sécurité avant (4) appelée communément "butée" et par son extrémité arrière et notamment son talon (5) grâce à une fixation de sécurité arrière (6) appelée "talonnière".As we said before and as it appears in FIGS. 1 and 2, the boot (1) of the skier is retained on the ski (2) of triggered by its front end (3) thanks to a fixing of front safety (4) commonly called "stop" and by its end rear and in particular its heel (5) thanks to a rear safety fastening (6) called "heel piece".

Ajoutons que l'extrémité avant de la chaussure (3) est en appui par sa surface inférieure (7) sur le dispositif d'appui (8) de l'invention.Add that the front end of the shoe (3) is in support by its lower surface (7) on the support device (8) of the invention.

Le dispositif, d'appui (8) selon l'invention est constitué par un support (9) et un élément mobile d'appui (10), ledit support (9) étant fixé au ski, tandis que l'élément mobile d'appui (10) est mobile par rapport audit support (9). Ajoutons que l'élément mobile d'appui (10) est en saillie par rapport à son support et que c'est sur cet élément d'appui (10) que la chaussure est en appui. Aussi, la surface supérieure (100) de l'élément mobile d'appui (10) est disposée en saillie par rapport à la surface supérieure (90) du support (9). The support device (8) according to the invention consists of a support (9) and a movable support element (10), said support (9) being fixed skiing, while the movable support element (10) is movable relative said support (9). Add that the movable support element (10) is in projecting from its support and that it is on this support element (10) that the shoe is in support. Also, the upper surface (100) of the movable support element (10) is arranged projecting relative to the upper surface (90) of the support (9).

La largeur (L9) du support (9) est sensiblement égale à la longueur (L2) du ski (2) et est constituée par une embase (11) sur laquelle est fixé un élément supérieur de support (12) ou couvercle, l'embase et l'élément supérieur de support étant, par exemple, en matière plastique de grande résistance comme, par exemple, en résine du type acétale, en polypropylène ou en polyamide. L'embase (11) est, par exemple, fixée au ski par collage, par des vis ou par sa liaison avec la fixation avant (4) comme, par exemple, avec sa plaque de base (40).The width (L9) of the support (9) is substantially equal to the length (L2) of the ski (2) and is constituted by a base (11) on which is fixed an upper support element (12) or cover, the base and the element support upper being, for example, of large plastic resistance such as, for example, acetal type resin, polypropylene or polyamide. The base (11) is, for example, fixed to the ski by gluing, by screws or by its connection with the front binding (4) like, for example, with its base plate (40).

L'élément mobile d'appui (10) qui peut être, par exemple, métallique ou en toute autre matière comme, notamment en résine acétale, s'étend avantageusement et en tous cas comme sur le mode d'exécution illustré, sur toute la largeur du support et est mobile par rapport à ce dernier au moins transversalement à droite (DR) ou à gauche (GA) par rapport au plan longitudinal (XX') de symétrie générale. Selon une caractéristique complémentaire, le déplacement de l'élément mobile d'appui se fait transversalement selon une trajectoire transversale (T) circulaire de rayon (R) centré en un point (O) situé dans le plan de symétrie générale (XX'), le rayon (R) étant, par exemple, compris entre 150 et 300 mm et égal, par exemple, à 230 mm.The movable support element (10) which can be, for example, metallic or any other material such as, in particular resin acetal, extends advantageously and in any case as on the mode illustrated, over the entire width of the support and is movable by relation to the latter at least transversely to the right (DR) or to left (GA) with respect to the longitudinal plane (XX ') of general symmetry. According to an additional characteristic, the displacement of the element mobile support is done transversely along a transverse trajectory (T) circular of radius (R) centered at a point (O) located in the plane of general symmetry (XX '), the radius (R) being, for example, between 150 and 300 mm and equal, for example, to 230 mm.

A cet effet, l'élément mobile d'appui (10) est un profil de forme légèrement courbe et se déplace transversalement pour coulisser dans une rainure de coulissement (13) de forme correspondante réalisée dans le support (9). Notons qu'en position de repos l'élément mobile d'appui est centré et maintenu dans cette position grâce à un système élastique tandis qu'il peut se déplacer par coulissement dans la rainure vers la droite (DR) ou vers la gauche (GA) contre l'action dudit système élastique constitué, par exemple, par un ressort de compression (14).For this purpose, the movable support element (10) is a shape profile slightly curved and moves transversely to slide in a sliding groove (13) of corresponding shape produced in the support (9). Note that in the rest position the movable support element is centered and held in this position thanks to an elastic system while it can slide by sliding in the groove towards the right (DR) or left (GA) against the action of said elastic system constituted, for example, by a compression spring (14).

La rainure de coulissement (13) s'étend sur toute la largeur du support, a la forme générale d'un T renversé pour déboucher vers le haut (HA) et latéralement vers la gauche (GA) et vers la droite (DR) et comprend une partie centrale (130) ouverte vers le haut (HA) et deux gorges, une gorge avant (131a) et une gorge arrière (131r), pour constituer deux saillies de retenue verticale vers le haut de l'élément mobile d'appui (10), à savoir, une saillie avant (132a) et une saillie arrière (132r) (voir notamment figure 7). Notons que la rainure est courbe.The sliding groove (13) extends over the entire width of the support, has the general shape of an inverted T to open up (HA) and laterally to the left (GA) and to the right (DR) and includes a central part (130) open upwards (HA) and two grooves, a front groove (131a) and a rear groove (131r), to constitute two vertical retaining projections towards the top of the movable support element (10), namely, a front projection (132a) and a rear projection (132r) (see in particular figure 7). Note that the groove is curved.

L'élément mobile d'appui (10) est quant à lui constitué par un profil transversal dont la section correspond à la section de la rainure (13) correspondante. L'élément mobile d'appui (10) s'étend avantageusement, par exemple, sur toute la largeur du support et a la forme d'un T renversé. Il est constitué par un corps transversal (101) dont la partie inférieure est prolongée à l'avant par un rebord inférieur avant (102a) et à l'arrière par un rebord inférieur arrière (102r) (voir notamment figure 10). Notons que lesdits rebords inférieurs avant et arrière (102a, 102r) sont destinés à être engagés dans les gorges avant et arrière (131a, 131r) correspondantes du support.The movable support element (10) consists of a transverse profile whose cross section corresponds to the cross section of the groove (13) corresponding. The movable support element (10) extends advantageously, for example, over the entire width of the support and at the shaped like an inverted T. It is constituted by a transverse body (101) whose the lower part is extended at the front by a lower front edge (102a) and at the rear by a rear lower edge (102r) (see in particular figure 10). Note that said lower front edges and rear (102a, 102r) are intended to be engaged in the front grooves and rear (131a, 131r) corresponding to the support.

Comme nous l'avons dit précédemment, un ressort (14) permet de maintenir en position centrée l'élément mobile d'appui, les déplacements latéraux dudit élément mobile d'appui se faisant contre l'action de ce ressort (14). Notons que le ressort est, par sa moitié inférieure, logé dans un logement inférieur du ressort (15) réalisé dans le support et plus particulièrement dans la surface supérieure (133) de la rainure (13), ladite surface supérieure (133) de la rainure (13) étant constituée par ladite embase (11) dans le mode d'exécution proposé. Par ailleurs, le ressort (14) est, par sa montée supérieure, logé dans un logement supérieur de ressort (16) réalisé dans la surface inférieure (103) de l'élément mobile d'appui (10). Le logement supérieur de ressort (16) est de longueur égale à la longueur du logement inférieur de ressort (15) et égale à la longueur du ressort ayant subi une légère compression lors de son montage, pour être précontraint quand l'élément mobile d'appui est en position centrée. Lors du déplacement latéral de l'élément mobile d'appui (10), ce dernier comprime le ressort soit d'un côté, soit de l'autre, pour assurer le rappel dudit élément mobile dans sa position centrée.As we said earlier, a spring (14) allows keep the movable support element in a centered position, lateral displacements of said movable support element being made against the action of this spring (14). Note that the spring is, by its half lower, housed in a lower spring housing (15) made in the support and more particularly in the upper surface (133) of the groove (13), said upper surface (133) of the groove (13) being constituted by said base (11) in the proposed embodiment. Through elsewhere, the spring (14) is, by its upper rise, housed in a upper spring housing (16) made in the lower surface (103) of the movable support element (10). The upper spring housing (16) is equal in length to the length of the lower spring housing (15) and equal to the length of the spring which was slightly compressed during of its mounting, to be prestressed when the movable support element is in centered position. When moving the movable element sideways support (10), the latter compresses the spring either on one side or on the other, to ensure the recall of said movable member in its centered position.

Bien entendu, il est prévu des moyens de butée de limitation du déplacement latéral de l'élément mobile d'appui (10) constitués par un système de butées. Ainsi, il est prévu sur le support, et plus particulièrement sur l'embase, deux butées, à savoir, une butée droite (17a) limitant le déplacement vers la droite de l'élément mobile d'appui (10) et une butée gauche (17r) limitant le déplacement vers la gauche de l'élément mobile d'appui (10), les deux butées (17a, 17r) coopérant avec une butée correspondante (18a, 18b) réalisée sur l'élément mobile d'appui (10). Les deux butées (18a, 18b) sont, par exemple, constituées grâce à un dégagement (19a, 19b) réalisé dans les rebords respectivement (102a, 102b).Of course, there are provided stop means for limiting the lateral movement of the movable support element (10) constituted by a stop system. Thus, it is provided on the support, and more particularly on the base, two stops, namely, a straight stop (17a) limiting the movement to the right of the movable support element (10) and a left stop (17r) limiting the movement to the left of the movable support element (10), the two stops (17a, 17r) cooperating with a corresponding stop (18a, 18b) produced on the movable support element (10). The two stops (18a, 18b) are, for example, formed by a clearance (19a, 19b) produced in the edges respectively (102a, 102b).

Selon l'invention, il est prévu au moins un élément antifriction de glissement entre l'élément mobile d'appui (10) et le support (9). Cet élément est destiné à favoriser et contrôler les déplacements latéraux de l'élément mobile d'appui (10) par rapport au support. L'élément de glissement est réalisé en matériau de faible coefficient de frottement comme, par exemple, en polytétrafluoréthylène (PTFE) ou en polyéthylène de haute densité, voire en un matériau tel que du polytétrafluoréthylène chargé de billes de bronze, ou tout autre matériau approprié. L'élément antifriction est dans un matériau de plus faible coefficient de frottement que le matériau dont est réalisé le support (9) et plus particulièrement le matériau de la rainure de coulissement (13). L'élément antifriction (20) est aussi et avantageusement réalisé dans un matériau de plus faible coefficient de frottement que le matériau dont est réalisé l'élément mobile d'appui (10).According to the invention, there is provided at least one anti-friction element of sliding between the movable support element (10) and the support (9). This element is intended to favor and control the lateral displacements of the movable support element (10) relative to the support. The element of sliding is made of low friction material such as, for example, polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) or high density polyethylene, or even a material such as polytetrafluoroethylene loaded with bronze beads, or any other material appropriate. The anti-friction element is in a weaker material coefficient of friction as the material from which the support (9) is made and more particularly the material of the sliding groove (13). The anti-friction element (20) is also and advantageously made in a material with a lower coefficient of friction than the material of which made the movable support element (10).

Il est ainsi prévu un élément antifriction (20) comprenant au moins une plaquette antifriction inférieure horizontale (200) disposée entre la face inférieure (103) de l'élément mobile d'appui (10) et la surface supérieure (133) de la rainure (13) de déplacement dudit élément mobile d'appui. Par ailleurs, et selon une caractéristique complémentaire, l'élément antifriction (20) comprend, en plus, une plaquette antifriction frontale (201a) et une plaquette antifriction arrière (201r). La plaquette antifriction frontale (201a) étant disposée entre la face arrière (133a) de la gorge avant (131a) et la face avant (104a) de la bordure avant (102a) de l'élément mobile d'appui (10), tandis que la plaquette antifriction arrière (201r) est disposée entre la face avant (133r) de la gorge arrière (131r) et la face arrière (104r) dudit élément mobile d'appui (10). La plaquette antifriction frontale (201a) est l'élément antifriction disposé entre l'élément mobile d'appui (10) et le support (9) par l'intermédiaire duquel s'appuie vers l'avant (AV) l'élément mobile d'appui (10), l'élément antifriction avant (201a) servant de butée vers l'avant pour l'élément mobile d'appui (10), tandis que la plaquette antifriction arrière (201r) est l'élément antifriction disposé entre l'élément mobile d'appui (10) et le support (9) par l'intermédiaire duquel s'appuie vers l'arrière (AR) l'élément mobile d'appui (10) et sert de butée vers l'arrière pour ce dernier.An anti-friction element (20) is thus provided comprising at less a horizontal lower anti-friction plate (200) arranged between the underside (103) of the movable support element (10) and the upper surface (133) of the groove (13) for moving said element mobile support. Furthermore, and according to an additional characteristic, the anti-friction element (20) further comprises an anti-friction plate front (201a) and a rear anti-friction plate (201r). The brochure frontal antifriction (201a) being disposed between the rear face (133a) of the front groove (131a) and the front face (104a) of the front edge (102a) of the movable support element (10), while the rear anti-friction plate (201r) is disposed between the front face (133r) of the rear groove (131r) and the rear face (104r) of said movable support element (10). The brochure frontal antifriction (201a) is the antifriction element placed between the movable support element (10) and the support (9) through which leans forward (AV) the movable support element (10), the element front anti-friction (201a) serving as a forward stop for the element support mobile (10), while the rear anti-friction plate (201r) is the anti-friction element arranged between the movable support element (10) and the support (9) through which backs (AR) the movable support element (10) and serves as a rearward stop for this latest.

De façon avantageuse, les deux plaquettes antifriction frontale (201a) et arrière (201r) sont des prolongements de la plaquette antifriction inférieure (200) pour former avec elle une seule et même pièce qui est fixée dans la rainure (13) de déplacement de l'élément mobile d'appui (10) et est rendue solidaire du support (9) par tout moyen tel que soudage, collage ou encastrement. Dans la réalisation proposée, l'élément antifriction (20) est retenu dans la rainure grâce à deux saillies latérales (110a, 110r) et une saillie centrale (110r).Advantageously, the two front anti-friction pads (201a) and rear (201r) are extensions of the plate lower antifriction (200) to form with it one and the same part which is fixed in the groove (13) for moving the element mobile support (10) and is made integral with the support (9) by any means such as welding, gluing or embedding. In the proposed realization, the anti-friction element (20) is retained in the groove by two projections side (110a, 110r) and a central projection (110r).

Il va de soi que les deux plaquettes antifriction frontale (201a) et arrière (201r) pourraient être indépendantes de la plaquette antifriction inférieure (200) tel que cela est illustré aux figures 11 et 11a. Dans ce cas, chacune des plaquettes, à savoir, la plaquette frontale (201a) et la plaquette arrière (201r) est engagée dans une rainure transversale correspondante (111a, 111r) réalisée dans l'embase (11).It goes without saying that the two front anti-friction pads (201a) and rear (201r) could be independent of the friction plate lower (200) as illustrated in Figures 11 and 11a. In that case, each of the pads, i.e., the front pad (201a) and the rear plate (201r) is engaged in a transverse groove corresponding (111a, 111r) produced in the base (11).

Par ailleurs, on ne sortirait pas du cadre de l'invention si le dispositif ne comprenait, en plus de la plaquette antifriction inférieure (200) que la plaquette frontale (201a), comme cela est illustré aux figures 12 et 12a, ou alors que la plaquette arrière (201r), comme cela est illustré aux figures 13 et 13a.Furthermore, it would not go beyond the scope of the invention if the device only included, in addition to the lower friction pad (200) than the front plate (201a), as illustrated in the figures 12 and 12a, or while the rear plate (201r), as illustrated in Figures 13 and 13a.

Notons aussi que les plaquettes antifriction frontale (201a) et arrière (201r) pourraient être disposées entre les saillies avant (132a) et arrière (132r) et les flancs latéraux respectivement avant (101a) et arrière (101r) du corps transversal (101), comme cela est représenté schématiquement à la figure 14.Note also that the frontal anti-friction pads (201a) and rear (201r) could be arranged between the front projections (132a) and rear (132r) and the lateral flanks respectively front (101a) and rear (101r) of the transverse body (101), as shown schematically in Figure 14.

Ajoutons que la largeur de l'élément antifriction est sensiblement égale à la largeur de la rainure de coulissement et à la largeur de l'élément mobile d'appui. Ainsi, l'élément antifriction est totalement à l'abri dans la rainure de coulissement et est ainsi protégé des salissures ou rayures éventuelles, ce qui améliore, bien entendu, les conditions de fonctionnement du produit, mais aussi son vieillissement.Add that the width of the anti-friction element is substantially equal to the width of the sliding groove and the width of the movable support element. Thus, the anti-friction element is totally the shelter in the sliding groove and is thus protected from dirt or possible scratches, which improves, of course, the conditions of functioning of the product, but also its aging.

Par ailleurs, les éléments antifriction avant (201a, 201r) sont avantageusement logés sous les saillies (132a, 132r) de retenue verticale de l'élément mobile d'appui.Furthermore, the front anti-friction elements (201a, 201r) are advantageously housed under the vertical retaining projections (132a, 132r) of the movable support element.

Il va de soi que l'élément mobile d'appui (10) pour la chaussure peut être aussi retenu vers le haut (HA) par au moins un élément antifriction. Les figures 15 et 15a illustrent un mode de réalisation comprenant un élément antifriction retenant vers le haut l'élément mobile d'appui. Il est ainsi prévu un élément antifriction avant (20a) et un élément antifriction arrière (20r), constitués par un profil transversal en forme de U constituant chacun l'appui vers le bas (200a, 200r), l'appui avant et arrière (201a, 201r) faisant butée et l'appui supérieur avant et arrière (202a, 202r).It goes without saying that the movable support element (10) for the shoe can also be held up (HA) by at least one element antifriction. Figures 15 and 15a illustrate an embodiment comprising an anti-friction element retaining the element upwards mobile support. There is thus provided a front anti-friction element (20a) and a rear anti-friction element (20r), constituted by a transverse profile in U shape each constituting the downward support (200a, 200r), the support front and rear (201a, 201r) making stop and the upper front support and rear (202a, 202r).

La figure 16 est une variante d'exécution de la réalisation de la figure 4 selon laquelle l'élément mobile d'appui (2a) est constitué d'un élément mobile d'appui avant (20a) et d'un élément mobile d'appui arrière (20r), les deux éléments mobiles d'appui étant indépendants et non solidaires.Figure 16 is an alternative embodiment of the embodiment of the Figure 4 according to which the movable support element (2a) consists of a mobile front support element (20a) and a mobile support element rear (20r), the two mobile support elements being independent and not united.

On ne sortirait pas du cadre de l'invention si le support (9) constituait lui-même l'élément mobile d'appui. Ainsi et comme cela est illustré à la figure 17, l'embase (11) est réalisée directement en matériau antifriction de faible coefficient de frottement.It would not go beyond the scope of the invention if the support (9) itself constituted the movable support element. So and as it is illustrated in Figure 17, the base (11) is made directly of material antifriction with low coefficient of friction.

Bien entendu, l'invention n'est pas limitée aux modes de réalisation décrits et représentés à titre d'exemples, mais elle comprend aussi tous les équivalents techniques ainsi que leurs combinaisons.Of course, the invention is not limited to the modes of realization described and represented as examples, but it includes also all technical equivalents and their combinations.
