These bindings are not satisfactory, some are not central relative to the shoe and require a holding bracket at the front of the shoe, they do not offer a good distribution of the forces on the surf. They are lateral or very directional snap-fast which offer little comfort to the user. In addition, they are unusable for users of rigid, so-called shell shoes. For other types, the position during latching does not leave the fixing visible to the user and requires a lot of precision.

A lever (12) held in a predetermined position by a spring enables the cams to be moved in order to release the rod (10).

Description

Fixation de surf à neige à chaussage automatique et chaussure pour cette dernière. Self-fitting snowboard binding and shoe for the latter.
L'invention a pour obτet une fixation de surf à neige à chaussage automatique et une chaussure pour cette dernière. Le surf à neige, aussi dénommé planche à neige, est une planche allongée plus ou moins flexible destinée à glisser sur la neige.The invention has for obτet a snowboard binding with automatic boot and a shoe for the latter. Snowboarding, also known as snowboarding, is an elongated more or less flexible board intended to slide on snow.
Les surfs à neige sont chers relativement au temps pendant lequel ils sont utilisés. De plus, durant la période ou ils ne sont pas utilisés ils sont encombrants. Pour ces raisons beaucoup de sportifs occasionnels préfèrent louer des surfs a neige plutôt que de les acheter. Les fixations actuelles nécessitent un réglage selon les types de chaussures et les pointures. Les fixations de surf à chaussage automatique actuellement sur le marché, offrent peu de position de chaussage, ce qui est particulièrement incommode avec des chaussures à coques rigides, dite alpines.Snowboards are expensive relative to the time they are used. In addition, during the period when they are not used they are bulky. For these reasons many occasional athletes prefer to rent snowboards rather than buying them. The current bindings require adjustment according to the types of shoes and sizes. The self-fitting surf bindings currently on the market offer little fitting position, which is particularly inconvenient with shoes with rigid shells, called alpine.
En effet, les fixations à chaussage automatique actuelles comportent un encliquetage très directionnel. La plupart des fixations de surfs à chaussage automatique nécessitent une grande précision de la part de l'utilisateur pour les chausser. Ces fixations ne sont pas satisfaisantes, certaines ne sont pas centrales relativement à la chaussure et nécessitent un étrier de tenue à l'avant de la chaussure, elles n'offrent pas une bonnes répartition des efforts sur le surf. Elles sont à encliquetage latéral ou très directionnel ce qui offrent peu de confort à l'utilisateur. De plus, elles sont inutilisables pour les utilisateurs de chaussures rigides, dite à coque. Pour d'autres types la position lors de l' encliquetage ne laisse pas la fixation visible pour l'utilisateur et demande beaucoup de précision. Elles ne possèdent pas de possibilité de compensation automatique de serrage lors de la présence d'une épaisseur de neige sous la chaussure. La neige se tassant au gré des mouvements, laisse un vide générateur d'instabilités. Pour améliorer les fixations de surfs à chaussage automatique on a imaginé une fixation comprenant une embase comportant des crochets latéraux, dont l'un est verrouillé par un levier, dans lesquels viennent s'encliqueter deux étriers solidaires de la chaussure. L'un des étriers est verrouillé par un moyen de fermeture qui laisse le passage lors du chaussage et empêche le retour de l'étrier par son interposition lors d'une sollicitation verticale. Si cette fixation est satisfaisant quant au chaussage automatique, elle ne l'est pas pour son confort puisque le chaussage peut s'effectuer que par une arrivée très directionnelle. Pour les chaussures à coque ce type de fixation ne permet pas l'utilisation d'une chaussure rigide, car la jambe de l'utilisateur ayant les articulations maintenues n'offre pas la souplesse requise pour permettre 1'encliquetage. Un autre type de fixation comportant une plaque basse fixée sur le surf et l'empreinte femelle solidaire de la chaussure comportant les moyens de fermeture, offre les caractéristiques de fixation de surf à chaussage automatique mais a l'inconvénient d'occulter la pièce à encliqueter puisque cette dernière se situe sous la chaussure de l'utilisateur.Indeed, the current automatic shoe bindings include a very directional snap. Most self-fitting surfboard bindings require great precision from the user to put them on. These bindings are not satisfactory, some are not central relative to the shoe and require a holding bracket at the front of the shoe, they do not offer a good distribution of the forces on the surf. They are lateral or very directional snap-fast which offer little comfort to the user. In addition, they are unusable for users of rigid, so-called shell shoes. For other types, the position during latching does not leave the fixing visible to the user and requires a lot of precision. They do not have the possibility of automatic tightening compensation when there is a thickness of snow under the shoe. The snow settling with the movements, leaves a void generating instability. To improve the bindings of self-fitting surfboards, a binding has been devised comprising a base comprising lateral hooks, one of which is locked by a lever, into which two stirrups secured to the shoe snap. One of the stirrups is locked by a closing means which allows passage during the fitting and prevents the stirrup from returning by its interposition during a vertical stress. If this binding is satisfactory with regard to automatic booting, it is not so for its comfort since the booting can be carried out only by a very directional arrival. For shell shoes this type of fastening does not allow the use of a rigid shoe, since the user's leg having the joints maintained does not offer the flexibility required to allow the snap-fastening. Another type of binding comprising a low plate fixed on the surf and the female imprint integral with the shoe comprising the closing means, offers the characteristics of self-fitting surf binding but has the drawback of obscuring the part to be snapped since the latter is located under the user's shoe.
On connaît les chaussures de surf à neige comportant à leurs deux extrémités des rebords ou des pièces complexe sous la semelle destinées à permettre leur maintien sur le surf ou sur le ski. La plupart de ces chaussures donnent satisfaction à leurs utilisateurs, toutefois dans certaines situations elles présentent des difficultés pour être fixées sur le surf ou sur le ski, notamment lorsque de la neige s'est fixée sur le surf ou le ski ou sous la chaussure, pour les chaussures à fixation intégralement sous la semelle notamment. De plus, pour les chaussures dont la fixation se fait à l'avant et à l'arrière ou dans les zones latérales en porte-à-faux, la transmission des efforts n'est pas optimum.Snowboard boots are known comprising at their two ends edges or complex parts under the sole intended to allow them to be held on the surf or on the ski. Most of these shoes give satisfaction to their users, however in certain situations they present difficulties to be fixed on the surf or on the ski, in particular when snow is fixed on the surf or the ski or under the shoe, for shoes with integral fixation under the sole in particular. In addition, for shoes whose attachment is made at the front and at the rear or in the cantilevered lateral zones, the transmission of forces is not optimum.
D'autres chaussures présentent des creusures au niveau de la semelle dans la zone médiane pour permettre leur maintien par des griffes. Ces fixations sont relativement compliquées et peu fiables. De plus, les creusures des chaussures peuvent se remplir de neige ou la chaussure ou la fixation peut être couvert de neige, ce qui rend difficile le chaussage.Other shoes have recesses at the level of the sole in the middle zone to allow their maintenance by claws. These fasteners are relatively complicated and little reliable. In addition, the recesses in the shoes may fill with snow or the shoe or the binding may be covered with snow, which makes it difficult to put on the shoes.
L'invention a pour objet de fournir une fixation qui ne présente pas les défauts des fixations existantes et une chaussure pou cette dernière. Ces buts sont atteint avec la fixation de surf à neige définie à la revendication 1 et avec la chaussure définie a la revendication 5.The object of the invention is to provide a binding which does not have the defects of existing bindings and a shoe for the latter. These objects are achieved with the snowboard binding defined in claim 1 and with the boot defined in claim 5.
L' invention sera mieux comprise a la lecture de la description de formes d'exécution données a titre d'exemple en regard des dessins sur lesquels:The invention will be better understood on reading the description of embodiments given by way of example with reference to the drawings in which:
la figure 1 représente une vue en perspective d'une forme d'exécution de la fixation de surf selon l'invention.Figure 1 shows a perspective view of an embodiment of the surfboard binding according to the invention.
la figure 2 représente une vue de la fixation représentée a la figure 1 en vue par-dessus.2 shows a view of the attachment shown in Figure 1 seen from above.
la figure 3 représente une vue de la fixation représentée a la figure 1 en vue de face.Figure 3 shows a view of the binding shown in Figure 1 in front view.

les figures 6A et 6B représentent une variante de la fixation représentée à la figure 1 respectivement avant et après chaussage. Les figures 7A et 7B représentent une autre variante de la fixation de la figure 1, respectivement avant et après chaussage.Figures 6A and 6B show a variant of the binding shown in Figure 1 respectively before and after fitting. Figures 7A and 7B show another variant of the binding of Figure 1, respectively before and after fitting.
la figure 8 représente en vue perspective le dessous de la semelle d'une chaussure selon l'invention.Figure 8 shows in perspective view the underside of the sole of a shoe according to the invention.
la figure 9 représente en vue perspective éclatée de la semelle de la chaussure de la figure 8.FIG. 9 is an exploded perspective view of the sole of the shoe of FIG. 8.
Comme on le voit sur la figure 1 une fixation selon l'invention représente un ensemble compact ayant une forme agréable à regarder. La fixation comporte une plaque de base 1, aussi dénommée embase, destinée à être fixée sur la surface supérieure d'un surf à neige. La fixation de l'embase 1 se fait au moyen de vis passant à travers les percements 2, ou par l'intermédiaire d'une plaque circulaire (non représentée), qui comportent des crans pour permettre le réglage d'angle sur 360° et des perçages destinés à recevoir des vis de fixation, non représentées. La plaque circulaire (non représentée) est indépendante de l'embase 1 et comporte un rebord avec des cannelures. On retrouve des cannelures identiques sur l'embase 1 ce qui permet d'orienter la fixation de la manière désirée. Ce dispositif est connu et se trouve sur des fixations existantes c'est pourquoi il n'a pas été représenté.As can be seen in FIG. 1, a binding according to the invention represents a compact assembly having a shape which is pleasant to look at. The binding comprises a base plate 1, also known as a base, intended to be fixed to the upper surface of a snowboard. The base 1 is fixed by means of screws passing through the holes 2, or by means of a circular plate (not shown), which have notches to allow angle adjustment over 360 ° and holes intended to receive fixing screws, not shown. The circular plate (not shown) is independent of the base 1 and has a flange with grooves. We find identical grooves on the base 1 which allows to orient the fixing in the desired manner. This device is known and is found on existing fasteners, which is why it has not been shown.
La fixation est formée par une embase 1 comportant deux plaques latérales 3 et 4, possédant un écartement 5 sensiblement de la largeur d'une chaussure. Chacune desdites plaques 3 et 4 présente une gorge verticale 6 respectivement 7 en son centre et une came 8 respectivement 9 mobile sur des axes solidaires desdites plaques 3 et 4. Ces cames sont destinées à maintenir au fond des gorges 6 et 7 une barre transversale 10 fixée sous la semelle de la chaussure (voir figure 8 et 9) . La barre transversale 10 vient s'encliqueter dans les gorges 6 et 7 des plaques 3 et 4 de l'embase 1 et est retenue par les cames 8 et 9. Lesdites cames sont autoserrantes, c'est-à-dire qu'elles peuvent rattraper un éventuel jeu laissé par le tassement d'une couche de neige sous la semelle grâce aux fraisures 11. La libération de la chaussure s'effectue par simple pression sur un levier latéral 12, qui par une tige de transmission 13 maintenue en position basse par un ressort 14, ouvre les deux cames 8 et 9 en même temps, ce qui permet le retrait de la barre 10, donc de la chaussure 15 (Fig 5) . La barre 10 peut être constituée par une barre droite ou comportant des pliages.The binding is formed by a base 1 comprising two side plates 3 and 4, having a spacing 5 substantially the width of a shoe. Each of said plates 3 and 4 has a vertical groove 6 respectively 7 in its center and a cam 8 respectively 9 movable on axes integral with said plates 3 and 4. These cams are intended to hold a transverse bar 10 at the bottom of the grooves 6 and 7 fixed under the sole of the shoe (see figure 8 and 9). The crossbar 10 is snapped into the grooves 6 and 7 of the plates 3 and 4 of the base 1 and is retained by the cams 8 and 9. Said cams are self-tightening, that is to say that they can make up for any play left by the compaction of a layer of snow under the sole thanks to the cutouts 11. The shoe is released by simple pressure on a lateral lever 12, which by a transmission rod 13 held in position low by a spring 14, opens the two cams 8 and 9 at the same time, which allows the removal of the bar 10, therefore of the shoe 15 (Fig 5). The bar 10 can be constituted by a straight bar or having folds.
Sur la figure 2 on voit que l'embase 1 est de forme compacte occupant peu de place sur la planche. On peut y remarquer la tige de transmission 13, commandant l'ouverture des cames 8 et 9. On y remarque en position fermée la barre 10 retenue par les cames 8 et 9 ce qui constitue un moyen de fermeture simple et efficace.In Figure 2 we see that the base 1 is compact in shape occupying little space on the board. One can notice there the transmission rod 13, controlling the opening of the cams 8 and 9. There one notices in the closed position the bar 10 retained by the cams 8 and 9 which constitutes a simple and effective closing means.
La figure 5 permettra de mieux comprendre le fonctionnement de la fixation. En effet, il n'est pas nécessaire de présenter la chaussure 15 horizontalement latéralement ou longitudinalement pour que l'encliquetage soit réalisé. Les cames 8 et 9 sont indépendantes malgré leur liaison par la tige 13 par la présence de la fente 16.Figure 5 will better understand the operation of the binding. Indeed, it is not necessary to present the shoe 15 horizontally laterally or longitudinally for the latching to be achieved. The cams 8 and 9 are independent despite their connection by the rod 13 by the presence of the slot 16.
Par sa conception, la fixation est utilisable quelle que soit l'orientation de la chaussure.By design, the binding can be used regardless of the orientation of the shoe.
La fixation selon l'invention peut être réalisée en métal léger par exemple en tôle ou en alliage d'aluminium ou en matière synthétique de résistance appropriée.The fixing according to the invention can be made of light metal, for example sheet metal or aluminum alloy or of synthetic material of suitable strength.
Comme on le voit sur les figures, seule la semelle de la chaussure a été représentée, car l'empeigne et la tige peuvent être de forme quelconque et n'ont aucune influence sur l' invention.As can be seen in the figures, only the sole of the shoe has been shown, since the vamp and the upper can be of any shape and have no influence on the invention.
On voit sur les figures 8 et 9 qu'une semelle 1 d'une chaussure selon l'invention comporte une partie avant 3 et une partie arrière dénommée talon 2. Entre les deux parties 2 et 3 se trouve un renfoncement 4, qui dans la forme d'exécution décrite est circulaire avec un diamètre de 110 mm et profondeur de 14 mm. Ces formes et ces dimensions ne sont données qu'à titre d'exemple. Le renfoncement peut avoir toute forme, par exemple: carrée, rectangulaire, elliptique, ovale etc. pour permettre la fixation d'un barre 5 entre la partie avant 3 et le talon 2. Cette barre disposée transversalement relativement à la longueur de la semelle a une longueur légèrement supérieure à la largeur de la semelle, de manière à créer des éléments d'accrochage en saillie, ou sensiblement aligné sur les formes extérieures de la tige de la chaussure.We see in Figures 8 and 9 that a sole 1 of a shoe according to the invention has a front part 3 and a rear part called heel 2. Between the two parts 2 and 3 is finds a recess 4, which in the embodiment described is circular with a diameter of 110 mm and depth of 14 mm. These shapes and dimensions are given only by way of example. The recess can have any shape, for example: square, rectangular, elliptical, oval etc. to allow the attachment of a bar 5 between the front part 3 and the heel 2. This bar disposed transversely relative to the length of the sole has a length slightly greater than the width of the sole, so as to create elements of hooking projecting, or substantially aligned with the outer shapes of the upper of the shoe.
La barre 5 est destinée à venir se prendre dans un dispositif prévu (représenté sur les figures 1 à 7) sur la fixation conçue pour coopérer avec la dite chaussure. La position de la barre 5 est sensiblement décentrée, par rapport au milieu de la semelle, du côté arrière, c'est-à-dire vers le talon 2. Ce positionnement de la barre a pour but de créer une meilleure position de l'utilisateur à fin d'obtenir une transmission plus directe des efforts.The bar 5 is intended to be caught in a device (shown in Figures 1 to 7) on the binding designed to cooperate with said shoe. The position of the bar 5 is substantially offset, relative to the middle of the sole, on the rear side, that is to say towards the heel 2. The aim of this positioning of the bar is to create a better position for the user in order to obtain a more direct transmission of the forces.
contre la semelle par tout moyen connu. Dans l'exemple décrit La barre 5 sera maintenue Comme on le voit sur les figures, seule la semelle de la chaussure a été représentée, car l'empeigne et la tige peuvent être de forme quelconque et n'ont aucune influence sur l'invention.against the sole by any known means. In the example described The bar 5 will be maintained As seen in the figures, only the sole of the shoe has been shown, since the vamp and the upper can be of any shape and have no influence on the invention .
On voit sur les figures 1 et 2 qu'une semelle 1 d'une chaussure selon l'invention comporte une partie avant 3 et une partie arrière dénommée talon 2. Entre les deux parties 2 et 3 se trouve un renfoncement 4, qui dans la forme d'exécution décrite est circulaire avec un diamètre de 110 mm et profondeur de 14 mm. Ces formes et ces dimensions ne sont données qu'à titre d'exemple. Le renfoncement peut avoir toute forme, par exemple: carrée, rectangulaire, elliptique, ovale pour permettre la fixation d'un barreau 5 entre la partie avant 3 et le talon (2) . Ce barreau disposé transversalement relativement à la longueur de la semelle a une longueur légèrement supérieure à la largeur de la semelle, de manière a créer des éléments d'accrochage en saillie, ou sensiblement aligne sur les formes extérieures de la tige de la chaussure.We see in Figures 1 and 2 that a sole 1 of a shoe according to the invention comprises a front part 3 and a rear part called heel 2. Between the two parts 2 and 3 is a recess 4, which in the described embodiment is circular with a diameter of 110 mm and depth of 14 mm. These shapes and dimensions are given only by way of example. The recess can have any shape, for example: square, rectangular, elliptical, oval to allow the fixing of a bar 5 between the front part 3 and the heel (2). This bar disposed transversely relative to the length of the sole has a length slightly greater than the width of the sole, so as to create hooking elements projecting, or substantially aligned with the external shapes of the upper of the shoe.
Le barreau 5 est destiné a venir se prendre dans un dispositif prévu (non représenté) sur la fixation conçue pour coopérer avec la dite chaussure. La position du barreau 5 est sensiblement décentrée, par rapport au milieu de la semelle, du côté arrière, c'est-à-dire vers le talon 2. Ce positionnement du barreau a pour but de créer une meilleure position de l'utilisateur à fin d'obtenir une transmission plus directe des efforts.The bar 5 is intended to be caught in a device (not shown) on the binding designed to cooperate with said shoe. The position of the bar 5 is substantially offset, relative to the middle of the sole, on the rear side, that is to say towards the heel 2. This positioning of the bar aims to create a better position for the user to end of obtaining a more direct transmission of forces.
La barre 5 sera maintenue contre la semelle par tout moyen connu. Dans l'exemple décrit elle est maintenue par une plaque 6 vissée par quatre vis 7. La semelle 1 de la chaussure peut aussi présenter une gorge 9 pour améliorer le maintien de la barre 5.The bar 5 will be held against the sole by any known means. In the example described, it is held by a plate 6 screwed by four screws 7. The sole 1 of the shoe can also have a groove 9 to improve the retention of the bar 5.
Dans certaines formes d'exécution la barre 5 présentera a ses deux extrémités dépassant la semelle 1 des coudes ceci pour gagner de la hauteur.In certain embodiments the bar 5 will have at its two ends projecting beyond the sole 1 of the elbows this to gain height.
L'invention n'est pas limitée aux formes d'exécutions définies, mais au contraire comporte toutes les variantes que l'homme de l'art pourrait y adapter en ce qui concerne les dimensions, les formes et les positions des renforcements et de la barre 5.The invention is not limited to the defined forms of execution, but on the contrary comprises all the variants which a person skilled in the art could adapt to it with regard to the dimensions, the forms and the positions of the reinforcements and of the bar 5.
Comme il va de soit, l'invention ne se limite pas à la seule forme d'exécution de cette fixation de surf à chaussage automatique, qui a été décrite ci-devant à titre d'exemple, mais embrasse toutes les variantes d'exécution, notamment en ce qui a trait à la forme de l'embase des plaques d'appui ou de la matière utilisée pour la réalisation. It goes without saying that the invention is not limited to the sole embodiment of this self-fitting surf binding, which has been described above by way of example, but embraces all of the variant embodiments. , in particular with regard to the shape of the base of the support plates or of the material used for the production.
