Definitions
- the invention relates to the field of sliding sports, and more specifically to that of snowboarding also called snowboarding. It concerns more particularly a rear gutter for snowboard binding optimized for transmission of efforts.
- snowboarding can be practiced using different techniques who use either rigid shoes or shoes with flexible upper.
- the invention relates to bindings intended to secure flexible shoes to the surfboard.
- Such a fixing generally consists of a base, which is screwed onto the board, and on which the sole of the shoe rests.
- such a fixation also includes a rear gutter, mounted on the base, either direct, either via a rear arch passing behind the shoe.
- the gutter is preferably pivotally mounted by relation to the roll bar or the base so as to be folded forward to limit the size of the fastener when it is not used.
- This gutter comes into rear stop in its position of use, since the goal sought by the rear gutter is to provide rearward support, especially when the user makes turns on the rear edge, generally called “back side” turns.
- the shoe used being flexible for reasons of comfort, it has tendency to deform when the user exerts backward forces and is necessary that the fixing presents a part receiving these efforts for the transmit to the direction of the rear edge.
- the front foot is generally oriented more towards the front of the board, while that the rear foot can either be closer to the perpendicular or slightly facing forward, or slightly facing back.
- the solution described in this document is to give the gutter a asymmetrical geometry in which a protruding part is spared the outside of the gutter, in the upper half of the latter.
- the objective of such a geometry is to allow the resumption of the forces exerted in direction rear of the foot.
- the protruding area constitutes an element whose weight is not negligible, and which is added to the rest of the binding.
- this protruding area has a certain fragility since it is located beyond the body of the gutter.
- junction zone between this protruding part and the rest of the gutter turns out to be flexible, and therefore does not allow the gutter to provide all the desired rigidity, except at the cost of an increase in thickness disproportionate, which results in disadvantages in terms of weight and manufacturing.
- one of the problems which the invention proposes to solve is optimization of the geometry and architecture of the gutter, to combine with the times the necessary stiffness properties, optimal force transmission while retaining a certain ease of manufacture and the possibility of varying the rigidity of the gutter over its entire surface.
- the invention therefore relates to a rear gutter for snowboard binding. intended to come into contact with the rear part of the user's shoe to support the supports, and having a median longitudinal plane of symmetry.
- the gutter according to the invention is characterized in that it comprises a higher stiffness zone located asymmetrically with respect to its plane of longitudinal median symmetry.
- the gutter according to the invention is symmetrical in its shape, but its mechanical properties, notably its rigidity, have a asymmetry.
- the rigidity of the gutter is localized only at the places which allows the rest of the gutter to be kept a certain flexibility which can prove advantageous for questions of comfort.
- the zone of higher rigidity is located on the outside side of the foot, so as to optimize the supports.
- the zone of higher rigidity of the gutter can be formed by an element embedded inside the material of the gutter.
- This element can be either a glass cloth coated with a resin, or a grid metallic or any equivalent element.
- the gutter can be produced by multi-injection, one of the multi-injected zones then constituting the zone of greatest rigidity.
- the zone of higher rigidity can cross in part of the mid-plane of symmetry of the gutter, especially at the edge upper part of this gutter, in order to make this variation in rigidity progressive.
- the gutter according to the invention can be mounted on fixings, with or without the possibility of rotating it around a vertical axis.
- a snowboard binding has a gutter one of whose essential characteristics is to present a geometry symmetrical while its mechanical properties and in particular its rigidity are distributed asymmetrically.
- a surf (1) has a median longitudinal plane (2), which is not necessarily a plane of symmetry, but which more generally defines the direction of movement.
- the invention can be adapted to different types of surfing, that the board either asymmetrical or not.
- such a surfboard (1) receives two bindings (3, 4) which are arranged in the central area of the board.
- These fasteners (3, 4) generally have a median longitudinal plane (5, 6), which is not necessarily a plane of symmetry, but which defines the orientation of the foot.
- the rear foot can adopt different orientations. So in the variant illustrated in figure 1, the foot located on the heel side of the board, can be oriented towards the back of the board, which corresponds to the position generally called "duck stance”.
- the rear foot can be oriented either almost perpendicular to the longitudinal axis (2) of the board, or even oriented in the same direction as the front foot, towards the front of the board.
- the invention finds advantages in the various practices, and in particular in the "duck stance” position used in "free style".
- the gutter presents its plane of symmetry confused with that of the binding.
- the outer zones (8, 9) of the foot located to the left of the median longitudinal plane (5) of the fixation for the left foot, and to the right of the median plane (6) for the foot right, are the parts closest to the rear edge (10).
- the fasteners (3, 4) used have a gutter (28, 29), which can be pivoted on the outside of the foot. This pivoting takes place around an axis corresponding to that of the leg.
- the outer part (31, 32) of this the latter is in a position intended to oppose the forces exerted parallel to the median longitudinal plane (2) of the board in the direction of progression.
- This configuration allows the surfer to receive support allowing him to rebalance in particular during jump receptions. These supports are present on the left and right feet.
- the gutter (12) of the fixing (11) has greater rigidity on the outside.
- a fixing (11) comprises generally a base (13) and a gutter (12) which is mounted generally pivoting on the rear part of the base which can, for example not limiting, be made by a hoop (15) passing through the rear of the foot.
- the invention is not limited to this kind of fastenings but covers any other kind of architecture, from the moment the gutter (12) presents a asymmetry of its mechanical properties while maintaining symmetry geometric.
- the base (13) of the binding has a lower face (16) intended to come into contact either directly or indirectly via an interface element, on the upper face of the board.
- the gutter has a symmetry of geometry around a median longitudinal plane (20) itself perpendicular to the underside (16) of the base (13).
- the gutter has an area of higher rigidity arranged so asymmetrical with respect to the plane of symmetry.
- the area of higher rigidity is essentially localized in the upper part of the gutter (12), and most of the time located on the outside of the plane of symmetry (20) of the gutter.
- the region of greater rigidity (22) extends at least at the periphery (23) of the gutter (12), located in the upper part and exterior of the latter.
- this zone (22) of greater rigidity covers most of the perimeter (23) of the gutter, from the top (24) thereof, to about mid-height (25).
- Such a zone (22) of high rigidity also extends in the direction of the stop. (26) located at the rear of the gutter (12), on the longitudinal plane of symmetry (20), and which is intended to cooperate with the upper part of the arch (15) when the forces are exerted backwards by the surfer.
- This extension (27) constitutes a mechanical connection which allows good transmission of the supports from the top of the gutter (12) to the stop (20), and therefore the hoop (15) of the binding.
- a gutter can be made of a plastic material molded with a modulus of elasticity in bending between 1000 and 3000 Mpa.
- the zone of higher rigidity (22) can be constituted by a additional element, forming an insert inside the gutter, which can be made either of a glass fiber fabric coated with a resin, or even of a metal grid much stiffer than the rest of the gutter.
- the same mold can be used for making the right or left fixing gutters, only the installation of an insert the inside of the mold differing between the two sides.
- the same type of insert can be used for the left and right attachments, from when it is placed inside the mold according to one or other of the directions.
- the gutters can also be made entirely of material plastic, by a multi-injection technique.
- the area of higher rigidity is made of a different material of the rest of the gutter, and which for example has a modulus of elasticity in flexion between 6000 and 10,000 MPa, while the rest of the gutter has a modulus of elasticity in bending between 1000 and 3000 MPa.
- the area of higher rigidity can lead to the rear of the gutter so as to be visible. It can also be drowned inside of the material constituting the rest of the gutter.
