Definitions
- the invention relates to an automatic snowboard binding and a shoe for the latter.
- Snowboarding also known as snowboarding, is an elongated board more or less flexible designed to slide on the snow.
- Snowboards are expensive relative to the time they are used. Moreover, during the period when they are not used they are bulky. For these reasons many casual sportsmen prefer to rent snowboards rather than buy them.
- Current bindings require adjustment according to shoe types and sizes.
- the auto-surfing bindings currently on the market offer little footwear position, which is particularly inconvenient with shoes rigid shell, so-called alpine.
- a binding comprising a base having side hooks, one of which is locked by a lever, in which are snapped two stirrups integral with the shoe.
- One of the stirrups is locked by a closure means which allows the passage during the boot and prevents the return of the stirrup by its interposition during a vertical bias. If this attachment is satisfactory in terms of automatic boot, it is not for comfort since the boot can be made only by a very directional arrival. For the shoes with shell this type of fixation does not allow the use of a rigid shoe, because the leg of the user having the maintained joints does not offer the required flexibility to allow the snap-fastening.
- Another type of fastener comprising a lower plate fixed on the surf and the female footprint integral with the boot comprising the closure means, offers the characteristics of automatically surfing surf binding but has the disadvantage of obscuring the part to be snapped. since the latter is located under the user's shoe.
- the object of the invention is to provide a fastener that does not have the defects of the existing fasteners and a boot for the latter. These objects are achieved with the snowboard binding defined in claim 1.
- a fastener according to the invention represents a compact assembly having a pleasant shape to look at.

Fixing the base 1 is done by means of screws passing through the holes 2, or by means of a circular plate (not shown), which have notches to allow 360 ° angle adjustment and holes for receiving fastening screws, not shown.
- the circular plate (not shown) is independent of the base 1 and has a flange with flutes. There are identical grooves on the base 1 which allows to guide the fixing in the desired manner. This device is known and is on existing fixings that is why it was not represented.
- the attachment is formed by a base 1 having two side plates 3 and 4, having a spacing substantially of the width of a shoe.
- Each of said plates 3 and 4 has a vertical groove 6 respectively 7 at its center and a cam 8 respectively 9 movable on integral axes of said plates 3 and 4.
- These cams are intended to hold at the bottom of the grooves 6 and 7 a transverse bar 10 attached under the sole of the shoe (see figure 8 and 9).
- the transverse bar 10 snaps 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-locking, that is to say they can make up any play left by the settlement of a layer of snow under the sole through the countersink 11.
- the release of the shoe is effected by simply pressing a lateral lever 12, which by a transmission rod 13 held in a low position by a spring 14, opens the two cams 8 and 9 at the same time, which allows the removal of the bar 10, so the shoe 15 (Fig 5).
- the bar 10 may be constituted by a straight bar or with bends.
- FIG. 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 is performed.

- the binding is usable regardless of the orientation of the shoe.
- the binding according to the invention can be made of light metal, for example sheet metal or aluminum alloy or synthetic material of suitable strength. As can be seen in the figures, only the sole of the shoe has been shown because the upper and the upper may be of any shape and have no influence on the invention.
- FIGS. 8 and 9 show that a sole 1 of a boot according to the invention comprises a front part 3 and a rear part called a 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 only given as examples.
- the recess can be any shape, for example: square, rectangular, elliptical, oval etc. to allow the attachment of a bar 5 between the front portion 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 projecting catch elements, or substantially aligned with the outer forms of the upper of the shoe.
- the bar 5 is intended to be caught in a device provided (shown in Figures 1 to 7) on the attachment designed to cooperate with said shoe.
- the position of the bar 5 is substantially off-center, relative to the middle of the sole, the rear side, that is to say towards the heel 2. This positioning of the bar is intended to create a better position of the user in order to obtain a more direct transmission of the efforts.
- FIGS. 1 and 2 show that a sole 1 of a shoe according to the invention comprises a front part 3 and a rear part called a heel 2.

- the invention is not limited to the sole embodiment of this surf binding auto-boot, which was described above by way of example, but embraces all variants of execution , in particular as regards the shape of the base of the support plates or the material used for the production.
Abstract
Description
L'invention a pour objet 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 relates to an automatic snowboard binding and a shoe for the latter. Snowboarding, also known as snowboarding, is an elongated board more or less flexible designed to slide on the 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 à 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. Moreover, during the period when they are not used they are bulky. For these reasons many casual sportsmen prefer to rent snowboards rather than buy them. Current bindings require adjustment according to shoe types and sizes. The auto-surfing bindings currently on the market, offer little footwear position, which is particularly inconvenient with shoes rigid shell, so-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.Indeed, the current automatic fasteners have a very directional snap. Most auto-surfing bindings require high precision from the user to fit them. These bindings are not satisfactory, some are not central to the shoe and require a stirrup holding at the front of the shoe, they do not offer a good distribution of effort on the surf. They are snap side or very directional which offer little comfort to the user. In addition, they are unusable for users of rigid shoes, called hull. For other types the position when snapping does not leave the attachment visible to the user and requires a lot of precision. They do not have the possibility of automatic compensation of tightening when there is a snow depth under the shoe. The snow settling at the discretion of the movements, leaves a void generating instabilities.
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 l'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.To improve the bindings surfs automatic boot was imagined a binding comprising a base having side hooks, one of which is locked by a lever, in which are snapped two stirrups integral with the shoe. One of the stirrups is locked by a closure means which allows the passage during the boot and prevents the return of the stirrup by its interposition during a vertical bias. If this attachment is satisfactory in terms of automatic boot, it is not for comfort since the boot can be made only by a very directional arrival. For the shoes with shell this type of fixation does not allow the use of a rigid shoe, because the leg of the user having the maintained joints does not offer the required flexibility to allow the snap-fastening. Another type of fastener comprising a lower plate fixed on the surf and the female footprint integral with the boot comprising the closure means, offers the characteristics of automatically surfing surf binding but has the disadvantage of obscuring the part to be snapped. since the latter is located under the user's shoe.
On connait 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.We know snowboarding shoes having at their two ends flanges or complex parts under the sole designed to allow them to stay on the surf or on the ski. Most of these shoes give satisfaction to their users, however in some situations they have difficulties to be fixed on the surf or on the ski, especially 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 in the front and rear or in the side cantilevered areas, the transmission of efforts 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 sole in the middle zone to allow their maintenance by claws. These fasteners are relatively complicated and unreliable. In addition, the hollows of the shoes can be filled with snow or the shoe or binding can be covered with snow, which makes it difficult to put on.

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 seen in Figure 1 a fastener according to the invention represents a compact assembly having a pleasant shape to look at. The binding comprises a
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 attachment is formed by a
The
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
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.
Par sa conception, la fixation est utilisable quelle que soit l'orientation de la chaussure.Figure 5 will better understand the operation of the binding. Indeed, it is not necessary to present the
By its design, the binding is usable 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.
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.The binding according to the invention can be made of light metal, for example sheet metal or aluminum alloy or synthetic material of suitable strength.
As can be seen in the figures, only the sole of the shoe has been shown because the upper and the upper may 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.FIGS. 8 and 9 show that a sole 1 of a boot according to the invention comprises a
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 projecting catch elements, or substantially aligned with the outer forms 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

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 à créer des éléments d'accrochage en saillie, ou sensiblement aligné sur les formes extérieures de la tige de la chaussure.FIGS. 1 and 2 show that a sole 1 of a shoe according to the invention comprises a
Le barreau 5 est destiné à 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
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
Dans certaines formes d'exécution la barre 5 présentera à ses deux extrémités dépassant la semelle 1 des coudes ceci pour gagner de la hauteur.In some embodiments the
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 contains all the variants that the person skilled in the art could adapt therein with regard to the dimensions, the shapes and the positions of the reinforcements and the
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.As it goes by itself, the invention is not limited to the sole embodiment of this surf binding auto-boot, which was described above by way of example, but embraces all variants of execution , in particular as regards the shape of the base of the support plates or the material used for the production.
