Definitions

  • the invention relates to the field of snow sliding sports, and more precisely that of snowboarding. It relates more particularly to bindings intended to be mounted on surfboards, the design of which makes it particularly ergonomic.
  • surf bindings There are many types of surf bindings, each type being more specifically adapted to a particular practice.
  • the surfer can adopt positions particularly inclined with respect to the board.
  • the relative flexibility of the shoes also allows a good perception sensations coming from the board.
  • Such fasteners have a mounting base on the board, and a rear tile forming a gutter intended to receive the rear of the rod of the user's shoe.
  • a gutter can extend up to mid-height of the calf.
  • Document DE-U-91 13766.7 describes such a fixation.
  • This fixation is equipped with two symmetrical stops arranged on the gutter, and intended to limit the inclination of the gutter backwards. These stops are adjustable in height for adapt the rearmost position of the gutter to the user's wishes.
  • a problem which the invention proposes to solve is that of the rigidity of fixation, and its incompatibility with the need to optimize the inclination of legs relative to the board.
  • This binding is characterized in that it comprises means capable of adjusting the inclination of the mid-plane of the gutter relative to the underside of the base.
  • the gutter of this attachment can be oriented laterally by so as to adjust the inclination of the leg relative to the board, according to the movement commonly called in the field of surfing under the name of "canting".
  • the fasteners according to the invention allow the gutter, and therefore to the leg, to deviate from the perpendicular, which turns out particularly ergonomic, especially in certain "free style" practices.
  • the position of the leg is optimal for the surfer who benefits from the rigidity of the gutter of the binding to take support backwards in particular.
  • the invention covers all kinds of fastener design and for example those in which the gutter is rigidly mounted relative to the base, or even preferably those in which the gutter has a pivoting capacity relative to the base, perpendicular to its plane median of symmetry.
  • the gutter is mobile, and can be folded down on the base when the binding is removed.
  • the means capable of adjusting the inclination of the gutter with respect to the base consist of a plurality of positions of the axis of pivoting of the gutter relative to the base.
  • the plane is allowed of symmetry to adopt several orientations deviating from the perpendicular to the board.
  • the base comprises a plurality of housings capable of receiving fingers mounted on the gutter, said fingers serving pivot axis of the gutter relative to the base.
  • a series of housings can be provided either on one side only of the base, either on both sides, so as to allow inclinations on both sides and on the other side of the vertical. These housings can be arranged vertically, one above the others, or even on an axis slightly inclined with respect to the vertical.
  • the attachment comprises a connecting piece cooperating with the base and the gutter.
  • This connecting piece is mounted with ability to pivot relative to the base around a first axis.
  • This piece of connection is also able to adopt with respect to the gutter, a plurality of positions deduced from each other by pivoting around a second axis, the first and second pivot axes being spatially offset.
  • the attachment includes an element capable of pivoting, both by relative to the base and relative to the gutter, this element forming an eccentric so that its pivoting relative to the gutter shifts the position of the pivot axis of the gutter relative to the base, thereby modifying the inclination of the pivot axis of the gutter.
  • the attachment may include a single eccentric element located on one side of the attachment, or even two eccentric elements cooperating with the base and the gutter on each side of the attachment, to allow adjustment of the inclination of the plane of symmetry of the gutter on either side of the perpendicular to the board.
  • This eccentric connecting piece can be located either on the side outside of the base, either on the internal face of the gutter, or between the gutter and base.
  • the connecting piece has a raised area able to be embedded in a complementary housing of the gutter.
  • the position of the pivot axis of the eccentric relative to the base is modified.
  • the pivoting of the eccentric inside the housing of the gutter can be made continuously, or even discreetly.
  • the raised area may include a plurality of lobes identical, distributed on this periphery, the housing of the gutter having then a plurality of hollow zones of profile complementary to these lobes.
  • the number of lobes determines the number of positions that can take the eccentric with respect to the gutter, and therefore the precision of the canting adjustment.
  • the connecting piece can be secured to the gutter either by screwing means, or even temporarily by a cam mechanism actuated by a retractable lever, allowing the modification of the inclination without disassembly or the use of a particular tool.
  • Figure 1 is a summary perspective view of a fixing according to the invention.
  • Figure 2a is a front view of the same attachment, shown in the position in which the plane of symmetry of the gutter is perpendicular to the face of the board.
  • Figure 2b is the attachment of Figure 2a in which the gutter is inclined relative to the base.
  • Figure 3 is a front view of a fixing made according to a first variant.
  • Figure 4 is a side view of the base of a fixing made according to a second variant, showing the eccentric element on which the gutter pivots.
  • Figure 5 is a sectional view of Figure 4 along the axis IV-IV.
  • Figure 6 is a summary perspective view of the connecting piece eccentric.
  • Figure 7a is a summary perspective view of half of the base a fixing, in which the pivot axis of the eccentric element by relative to the gutter is at the same level as the pivot axis of the element eccentric to the base.
  • Figures 7b and 7c are variations of Figure 7a in which the axis of pivoting of the eccentric element with respect to the gutter is respectively above and below the pivot axis of the eccentric element with respect to at the base.
  • the invention relates to a surfboard binding (1), which comprises in a known manner a base (2) and a gutter (3).
  • the base (2) has a lower face (4), which is intended to come into contact with the board, possibly via a platform for orienting the binding relative to the longitudinal axis of the board.
  • Such a base (2) therefore comprises a plate (5) substantially parallel to the upper face of the board, and two lateral flanks (7, 8) extending to the rear by a hoop (9).
  • FIG. 1 does not represent the means for attaching the boot to the fixing itself, since multiple solutions can be used without interfering with the principle of the invention.
  • the binding (1) therefore comprises, connected to the base, a gutter (3), rising substantially at mid-height of the leg, and intended to form a tile receiving the back of the user's boot.
  • fasteners are intended to serve for the feet right or left indifferently, so that they present a symmetry by relation to the longitudinal median plane, at least as regards the part cooperating with the back of the shoe.
  • the base (2) and the gutter (3) themselves have a median plane of symmetry (10) which, as illustrated in FIG. 2a, is perpendicular to the underside (4) of the base (2), and therefore perpendicular to the gliding board.
  • This provision corresponds to the orientation existing on the fixings of Art prior.
  • the invention is not limited to symmetrical fastenings, but also covers fasteners with asymmetrical geometry, and in particular an asymmetrical gutter.
  • the binding is as it includes means for adjusting the inclination of the median plane (10) of the gutter (3) relative to the underside (4) of the base (2).
  • the fixing illustrated in FIG. 2a can, thanks to this arrangement, be find in the geometry illustrated in Figure 2b, in which the gutter (3) is slightly inclined to the vertical.
  • the fixings illustrated in the appended figures all have a gutter which is mounted with a pivoting capacity relative to the base.
  • the invention also covers variants not shown in which this gutter is not pivotally mounted relative to the base, while retaining a lateral tilting ability of the gutter.
  • the pivoting of the gutter (3) can be ensured by the cooperation of two fingers (20, 21), placed each on the outer face (22, 23) of the gutter, at the level of the area look of the base (2), as well as two complementary housings (24, 25), in which penetrate the fingers (20, 21).
  • the base (2) has a plurality of housings (24-29) arranged one above the other others.
  • the pivoting of the gutter (3) relative to the base (2) is produced by means of a connecting piece (40) cooperating with the base (2) and the gutter (3).
  • such a connecting piece (40) consists of a reduced thickness disc (41), and a raised area (42) of constant thickness, and comprising four lobes (43-46) arranged symmetrically relative to the central point (47) of said raised area (42).
  • This raised area (42) is intended to be embedded in a housing complementary (50) formed on the lower part of the gutter.
  • the housing provided in the gutter also has a shape including four lobes, so that the connecting piece (40) can assume four positions deduced from each other by a quarter-turn rotation around the axis perpendicular to the disc (41) and passing through the center (47) of the raised area (42).
  • the invention is not limited to the illustrated geometry, but covers variants in which the number of lobes and their shape are markedly different.
  • the relief area with a finer notch to adjust the position of the workpiece connection with respect to the gutter more precisely.
  • this intermediate piece can be done continuously.
  • the connecting piece (40) has a hole intended to receive a finger (51) serving as a pivot axis of the gutter by compared to the base.
  • this finger consists of a bolt (52) whose head comes into contact with the disc (41) of the connecting piece (40) and whose rod extends through the piece of connection (40) and all or part of the lateral flank (7) of the base (2).
  • the bolt nut is camouflaged between two walls (54, 55) constituting the side of the base, for aesthetic reasons.
  • the bolt can pass through the entire base to appear laterally, so as to facilitate position adjustment operations.
  • the finger (51) constituting the axis of pivoting between the gutter (3) and the base (2) is offset from the center (47) of the connecting piece (40). Thanks to this arrangement, when the connecting piece (40) is pivoted in its housing (50), the finger (51) is moved.
  • Figures 7a to 7c illustrate for clarity several positions of the part connecting (40) and the gutter (3) relative to the base (2).
  • the eccentric connecting piece (40) is arranged in such a way so that the finger (51) passing through the base is at the same level as the center (47) of the connecting piece.
  • the eccentric part (40) is pivoted so that the center (47) of the connecting piece, which is fixed relative to the gutter, is located higher that the finger (51) forming the pivot axis relative to the base.
  • the gutter (3) is slightly raised, and the pivot axis of the gutter (3) relative to the base (2) is therefore inclined to the main face.
  • FIG. 7c illustrates a position of the attachment, in which the eccentric part (40) is pivoted so that the center (47) of the part link is below the level of the finger (51).
  • the pivot axis of the gutter relative to the base therefore has a inclination opposite to that illustrated in FIG. 7b.
  • the junction zone between the side (7) of the base (2) and the plate (5) is hollowed out to allow the passage of the disc (41) of the eccentric (40) when the latter is pivoted in the low position, as illustrated in the figure 7c.
  • the binding can be equipped with one or two elements eccentric (40).
  • each side of the base includes a eccentric (40)
  • the inclination of the gutter can be doubled compared to embodiments in which the attachment comprises only an eccentric.
