Description

L'invention se rapporte au domaine des dispositifs de retenue d'une chaussure sur une planche de glisse, et concerne particulièrement un dispositif pour planche destinée à la pratique du surf sur neige.The invention relates to the field of devices for retaining a shoe on a gliding board, and particularly relates to a board device intended for snowboarding.

Parmi les dispositifs connus, certains sont prévus pour retenir une chaussure souple et présentent la structure suivante.Among the known devices, some are provided for retaining a flexible shoe and have the following structure.

Le dispositif comprend une embase et un élément d'appui arrière, l'embase présentant une assise qui s'étend entre une extrémité avant et une extrémité arrière selon une direction longitudinale du dispositif, l'embase présentant deux bords latéraux solidarisés à l'assise, les bords étant reliés l'un à l'autre du côté de l'extrémité arrière de l'assise par une arche, l'élément d'appui arrière étant articulé sur l'embase selon un axe d'articulation sensiblement transversal du dispositif. La chaussure est retenue sur le dispositif par exemple au moyen de sangles.The device comprises a base and a rear support element, the base having a seat which extends between a front end and a rear end in a direction longitudinal of the device, the base having two lateral edges secured to the seat, the edges being connected to each other on the side of the rear end of the seat by an arch, the element rear support being articulated on the base along a substantially transverse articulation axis of the device. The shoe is retained on the device for example by means of straps.

Sur ce type de dispositif l'élément d'appui arrière, qui s'étend au contact de la chaussure au niveau du bas de jambe d'un utilisateur, présente une souplesse qui gêne la conduite en ce qui concerne la précision.On this type of device, the rear support element, which extends in contact with the shoe at the level of a user's lower leg, has a flexibility which hinders the conduct with regard to accuracy.

Le manque de précision se manifeste notamment lors d'un appui arrière avec le bas de jambe, l'élément d'appui fléchissant exagérément, notamment au niveau de son extrémité supérieure.The lack of precision is manifested in particular during a rear press with the bottom of leg, the support element flexing excessively, in particular at its end superior.

Pour obtenir une précision de conduite suffisante, l'art antérieur a proposé de rigidifier l'élément d'appui arrière par des moyens tels que des renforts. La précision de conduite s'est améliorée, mais le dispositif est devenu inconfortable au point de rendre la conduite douloureuse pour l'utilisateur.To obtain sufficient driving precision, the prior art has proposed to stiffen the rear support element by means such as reinforcements. Driving precision has improved, but the device became uncomfortable to the point of making driving painful for the user.

L'invention a notamment pour objet un dispositif de retenue d'une chaussure souple, qui permet une conduite précise, et qui offre un niveau de confort suffisant pour ne pas gêner un utilisateur.The invention particularly relates to a device for retaining a flexible shoe, which allows precise driving, and which offers a level of comfort sufficient not to interfere an user.

Un dispositif de retenue d'une chaussure sur une planche de glisse selon l'invention comprend une embase et un élément d'appui arrière, l'embase présentant une assise qui s'étend entre une extrémité avant et une extrémité arrière selon une direction longitudinale du dispositif, l'embase présentant deux bords latéraux solidarisés à l'assise, les bords étant reliés l'un à l'autre du côté de l'extrémité arrière de l'assise par une arche, l'élément d'appui arrière étant articulé sur l'embase selon un axe d'articulation sensiblement transversal du dispositif.A device for retaining a boot on a sliding board according to the invention comprises a base and a rear support element, the base having a seat which extends between a front end and a rear end in a longitudinal direction of the device, the base having two lateral edges secured to the seat, the edges being connected to each other on the side of the rear end of the seat by an arch, the rear support element being articulated on the base along a substantially transverse articulation axis of the device.

Le dispositif selon l'invention est caractérisé par le fait que l'élément d'appui arrière comprend deux parties, un arceau articulé sur l'embase, et une manchette solidarisée à l'arceau, la manchette présentant une rigidité plus grande que l'arceau, l'arceau coopérant avec l'arche pour limiter un mouvement d'articulation antéro-postérieur de l'élément d'appui arrière par rapport à l'embase.The device according to the invention is characterized in that the rear support element includes two parts, a hoop articulated on the base, and a cuff secured to the arch, the cuff having greater rigidity than the arch, the arch cooperating with the arch to limit an anteroposterior articulation movement of the rear support element relative to the base.

La structure de l'élément d'appui arrière est telle que, pendant la conduite, celui-ci se déforme très légèrement au niveau de l'arceau tout en restant indéformable au niveau de la manchette. Il s'ensuit que le dispositif permet une conduite précise, et offre un niveau de confort suffisant pour ne pas gêner un utilisateur.The structure of the rear support element is such that, while driving, it deforms very slightly at the level of the arch while remaining undeformable at the level of the cuff. It follows that the device allows precise driving, and offers a level of sufficient comfort so as not to annoy a user.

L'invention se rapporte également à une planche munie d'un dispositif au moins.The invention also relates to a board provided with at least one device.

D'autres caractéristiques et avantages de l'invention seront mieux compris à l'aide de la description qui va suivre, en regard du dessin annexé illustrant, par un exemple non limitatif, comment l'invention peut être réalisée et dans lequel :

  • la figure 1 est une vue en perspective arrière d'un dispositif de retenue selon l'invention,
  • la figure 2 est une vue arrière du dispositif de la figure 1,
  • la figure 3 est une coupe selon III-III de la figure 2,
  • la figure 4 est une coupe selon IV-IV de la figure 3.
Other characteristics and advantages of the invention will be better understood with the aid of the description which follows, with reference to the appended drawing illustrating, by a non-limiting example, how the invention can be implemented and in which:
  • FIG. 1 is a rear perspective view of a retaining device according to the invention,
  • FIG. 2 is a rear view of the device of FIG. 1,
  • FIG. 3 is a section on III-III of FIG. 2,
  • FIG. 4 is a section on IV-IV of FIG. 3.

Un mode de réalisation privilégié de l'invention est décrit ci-après à l'aide des figures 1 à 4.A preferred embodiment of the invention is described below with the aid of Figures 1 to 4.

Comme on le comprend par exemple à l'aide de la figure 1, un dispositif 1 est prévu pour retenir une chaussure sur une planche de glisse 2, la chaussure n'étant pas représentée pour des raisons de commodité.As can be understood for example with the aid of FIG. 1, a device 1 is provided to retain a shoe on a gliding board 2, the shoe not being shown for convenience.

Le dispositif 1 comprend une embase 3 et un élément d'appui arrière 4. L'embase 3 présente une assise 5 qui s'étend entre une extrémité avant 6 et une extrémité arrière 7 selon une direction longitudinale du dispositif 1.The device 1 comprises a base 3 and a rear support element 4. The base 3 has a seat 5 which extends between a front end 6 and a rear end 7 along a longitudinal direction of the device 1.

Il doit être compris que la direction longitudinale du dispositif 1 est une direction qui est sensiblement la même que la direction longitudinale de la chaussure quand celle-ci est retenue sur le dispositif 1.It should be understood that the longitudinal direction of the device 1 is a direction which is substantially the same as the longitudinal direction of the shoe when it is retained on the device 1.

L'embase 3 présente eux bords latéraux 8, 9 qui sont prévus pour retenir la chaussure selon une direction transversale du dispositif 1. Il doit être compris que la direction transversale est une direction sensiblement perpendiculaire à la direction longitudinale, et sensiblement parallèle à l'assise 5.The base 3 has them side edges 8, 9 which are provided to retain the shoe in a transverse direction of the device 1. It should be understood that the direction transverse is a direction substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal direction, and substantially parallel to the seat 5.

Une arche 10 relie les bords 8, 9 du côté de l'extrémité arrière 7 de l'assise 5.An arch 10 connects the edges 8, 9 on the side of the rear end 7 of the seat 5.

L'arche 10 est un bord qui est situé vers l'arrière du dispositif 1 en surélévation par rapport à l'assise 5.The arch 10 is an edge which is situated towards the rear of the device 1 in elevation by report to the seat 5.

De préférence, l'assise 5, les bords 8, 9, et l'arche 10 forment une pièce monobloc, ce qui permet de fabriquer l'embase 3 selon un procédé simple. Par exemple, l'embase 3 peut être faite avec une matière plastique ou métallique introduite dans un moule, comme un polyamide armé de fibres de verre.Preferably, the seat 5, the edges 8, 9, and the arch 10 form a single piece, this which makes it possible to manufacture the base 3 according to a simple process. For example, the base 3 can be made with a plastic or metallic material introduced into a mold, such as a polyamide reinforced with glass fibers.

L'embase 3 est retenue sur la planche 2 par tout moyen connu de l'homme du métier, comme par exemple un disque 11 lui-même solidarisé à la planche 2 par tout moyen convenable.The base 3 is retained on the board 2 by any means known to those skilled in the art, such as a disc 11 itself secured to the board 2 by any means suitable.

La chaussure est retenue de façon amovible sur l'embase 3 par un moyen représenté sous la forme de sangles 29, 30, qui sont également bien connues de l'homme du métier. The shoe is detachably retained on the base 3 by a means shown in the form of straps 29, 30, which are also well known to those skilled in the art.

Les sangles 29, 30 maintiennent la chaussure de façon que la semelle soit plaquée sur l'assise 5, et que le talon soit plaqué sur l'arche 10 ou situé à proximité de l'arche 10.The straps 29, 30 hold the shoe so that the sole is pressed against the seat 5, and that the heel is pressed against the arch 10 or located near the arch 10.

L'élément d'appui arrière 4 comprend deux parties distinctes qui sont un arceau 12 et une manchette 13.The rear support element 4 comprises two separate parts which are an arch 12 and a cuff 13.

Comme on le comprend mieux à l'aide de la figure 2, l'arceau 12 de l'élément d'appui arrière 4 présente deux bras 14, 15 situés respectivement dans le prolongement des bords latéraux 8, 9. L'arceau 12 est articulé sur l'arche 10 selon un axe sensiblement transversal Y-Y' du dispositif 1.As can be better understood with the help of FIG. 2, the arch 12 of the support element rear 4 has two arms 14, 15 located respectively in the extension of the edges side 8, 9. The arch 12 is articulated on the arch 10 along a substantially transverse axis Y-Y ' of device 1.

Il doit être compris que l'axe Y-Y' est orienté dans la direction transversale du dispositif 1.It should be understood that the axis Y-Y 'is oriented in the transverse direction of the device 1.

L'articulation de l'arceau 12 sur l'arche 10 est réalisée par un moyen représenté sous la forme de deux vis 16, 17 sensiblement coaxiales, selon une technique bien connue de l'homme du métier. La manchette 13 est solidarisée à l'arceau 12 par un moyen représenté sous la forme de rivets, par exemple deux rivets 18, 19 situés respectivement d'un côté et de l'autre de l'élément d'appui arrière 4.The articulation of the arch 12 on the arch 10 is carried out by a means shown under the form of two screws 16, 17 substantially coaxial, according to a technique well known to man of career. The cuff 13 is secured to the arch 12 by a means shown in the form rivets, for example two rivets 18, 19 respectively located on one side and the other of the rear support element 4.

Comme on le comprend mieux à l'aide de la figure 1, une butée réglable 20 limite un mouvement d'articulation antéro-postérieur de l'élément d'appui arrière 4 par rapport à l'embase 3.As will be better understood with the aid of FIG. 1, an adjustable stop 20 limits a anteroposterior articulation movement of the rear support element 4 relative to the base 3.

Le mouvement d'articulation antéro-postérieur doit être compris comme étant un mouvement au cours duquel une extrémité supérieure 21 de la manchette 13 s'éloigne de l'extrémité avant 6 de l'assise 5. L'extrémité supérieure 21 est commune à la manchette 13 et à l'élément d'appui arrière 4.The anteroposterior articulation movement must be understood as being a movement during which an upper end 21 of the cuff 13 moves away from the front end 6 of the seat 5. The upper end 21 is common to the cuff 13 and to the rear support element 4.

La butée 20 est visible en coupe sur les figures 3 et 4.The stop 20 is visible in section in FIGS. 3 and 4.

Comme on le voit à la figure 3, la butée 20 présente un secteur denté 22 prévu pour coopérer avec un secteur denté 23 de l'arceau 12, de façon que la butée 20 soit rapportée sur l'arceau 12 dans une position sélectionnée.As seen in Figure 3, the stop 20 has a toothed sector 22 provided for cooperate with a toothed sector 23 of the arch 12, so that the stop 20 is attached to the arch 12 in a selected position.

Il est possible d'approcher ou d'éloigner la butée 20 d'une extrémité inférieure 24 de la manchette 13 en déplaçant l'un par rapport à l'autre les secteurs 22 et 23.It is possible to approach or move the stop 20 from a lower end 24 of the cuff 13 by moving sectors 22 and 23 relative to each other.

Il suffit pour cela de dévisser une vis de maintien 25 de la butée 20 sur l'élément d'appui arrière 4, de positionner les secteurs 22, 23 l'un par rapport à l'autre, puis de visser la vis 25.To do this, simply unscrew a retaining screw 25 from the stop 20 on the element rear support 4, to position the sectors 22, 23 relative to each other, then to screw the screw 25.

Comme on le comprend à l'aide de la figure 4, des dents des secteurs 22 et 23 sont toujours en prise quelle que soit la position de la butée 20 par rapport à l'arceau 12. En effet, la vis 25 traverse une fente 26 de la butée 20 au niveau du secteur 22, la largeur de la fente 26 étant inférieure à celle du secteur 22, les secteurs 22 et 23 présentant une largeur voisine. Bien entendu, la largeur des secteurs 22 et 23 s'étend sensiblement parallèlement à l'axe transversal Y-Y'. As can be understood from FIG. 4, teeth of sectors 22 and 23 are always engaged whatever the position of the stop 20 relative to the arch 12. In fact, the screw 25 passes through a slot 26 of the stop 20 at sector 22, the width of the slot 26 being less than that of sector 22, sectors 22 and 23 having a neighboring width. Well of course, the width of the sectors 22 and 23 extends substantially parallel to the transverse axis Y-Y '.

Comme on le comprend en regardant par exemple la figure 3, la butée 20 limite le mouvement d'articulation antéro-postérieur de l'élément d'appui arrière 4 par rapport à l'embase 3 par contact d'une face 27 de la butée 20 sur une face 28 de l'arche 10.As can be understood by looking for example in FIG. 3, the stop 20 limits the anteroposterior articulation movement of the rear support element 4 relative to the base 3 by contact with a face 27 of the stop 20 on a face 28 of the arch 10.

Dans ce cas, le dispositif 1 est dans une position d'utilisation qui permet la conduite de la planche 2. Dans la position d'utilisation, qui correspond à une position extrême de l'élément d'appui arrière 4 dans le sens d'articulation antéro-postérieur, l'arceau 12 et l'arche 10 sont situés sur le dispositif 1 plus en arrière que la manchette 13.In this case, the device 1 is in a position of use which allows the driving of board 2. In the position of use, which corresponds to an extreme position of the element rear support 4 in the antero-posterior articulation direction, the arch 12 and the arch 10 are located on the device 1 further back than the cuff 13.

De préférence, comme on le comprend à l'aide de la figure 2, la manchette 13 s'étend en partie au moins devant l'arche 10, si l'on prend pour référence la direction longitudinale.Preferably, as can be understood with the aid of FIG. 2, the cuff 13 extends partly at least in front of the arch 10, if the longitudinal direction is taken for reference.

Les matériaux et les dimensions de l'arceau 12 et de la manchette 13 sont définis de façon que la manchette 13 présente une rigidité plus grande que l'arceau 12.The materials and dimensions of the arch 12 and the cuff 13 are defined by so that the cuff 13 has greater rigidity than the arch 12.

Par exemple, la manchette 13 peut être fabriquée avec des nappes de tissus de fibres de verre noyées dans une matrice de polypropylène. La manchette 13 est sensiblement indéformable sous l'action d'efforts exercés par l'utilisateur en cours de conduite.For example, the cuff 13 can be fabricated with webs of woven fiber fabrics. glass embedded in a polypropylene matrix. The cuff 13 is substantially non-deformable under the action of efforts exerted by the user while driving.

L'arceau 12 est quant à lui de préférence réalisé par moulage d'un polyuréthanne chargé de fibres de verte. L'arceau est très légèrement déformable sous l'action des efforts exercés par l'utilisateur en cours de conduite.The arch 12 is preferably made by molding a polyurethane loaded with green fibers. The roll bar is very slightly deformable under the action of forces exercised by the user while driving.

Ainsi, lorsque l'utilisateur sollicite la manchette 13 vers l'arrière du dispositif 1 en prenant des appuis avec le bas de jambe, l'élément d'appui arrière 4 se déforme très légèrement à proximité de l'arche 10.Thus, when the user requests the cuff 13 towards the rear of the device 1 in taking support with the lower leg, the rear support element 4 deforms very slightly near the arch 10.

La déformation est suffisamment faible pour que l'utilisateur puisse prendre des appuis fermes. La déformation est également suffisante pour que les prises d'appui soient amorties et n'engendrent pas de douleur dans les jambes.The deformation is small enough that the user can take support firm. The deformation is also sufficient for the support points to be absorbed and do not cause pain in the legs.

La structure du dispositif 1 selon l'invention permet à l'élément d'appui arrière 4 de se déformer dans une région éloignée de son extrémité supérieure 21.The structure of the device 1 according to the invention allows the rear support element 4 to be deform in a region distant from its upper end 21.

La rigidité de la manchette 13 permet à l'utilisateur de garder un bon contact avec l'élément d'appui arrière 4 au niveau du bas de jambe.The rigidity of the cuff 13 allows the user to keep good contact with the rear support element 4 at the lower leg.
