Definitions

  • the invention relates to the field of snow sliding sports. She aims more particularly a device mounted on a board, which is arranged for allow the stiffness of the board to be adapted according to the desired the user. In the rest of the description, the invention is more specifically described in her job on an alpine ski, but she could also find a application on snowboards.
  • alpine skis can be equipped with stiffening, and / or platforms for raising the binding.
  • a device stiffener generally consists of a rigid plate anchored on the plank at least two distant points, so that its own rigidity is added to that of the board.
  • Such devices like those described in documents FR 2 534 480 and EP 0 183 586 must be determined according to the properties intrinsic mechanics of the board, and their positioning is particularly sensitive.
  • binding raising platforms allow on the one hand, to enhance the fixing relative to the level of the board, and secondly, to remove the influence of the stiffness of the shoe from skiing on the intrinsic stiffness of the board.
  • Such a platform is essentially consisting of a metal plate on which the toe piece and heel piece of safety fasteners.
  • This metal plate rests on an elastomeric layer and is anchored on the board at its two front and rear ends. One of these ends has an oblong hole which allows a slight sliding of the platform by compared to the board.
  • This device allows amortization of part of the vibrations generated on the board, as well as a limitation of the influence of the stiffness of the user's shoe compared to that of the board. Such a platform, by providing some unclamping of the board, has a low affect the stiffness of the board.
  • this elongated light passes a fixing screw whose head can therefore move inside the light when the platform is moving slightly compared to the board. It is possible to authorize or not this sliding by placing a piece inside this elongated light additional which, when present, prohibits the movement of the screw inside the light, and therefore blocks the sliding.
  • DE 197 18 860 describes another device intended for be mounted on a gliding board, and likely to modify the stiffness of the board according to a setting made by the user. More specifically, this device essentially comprises a platform, the rear end of which has a sliding capacity in relation to the upper face of the board. This device also includes a movable lever, articulated relative to the face top of the board. A portion of this lever is at the same level vertical as the rear end of the platform, and can serve as a stop for block the sliding movement of the platform in relation to the board. Depending on the position of the lever, this stop effect occurs sooner or later in the bending of the board.
  • This device has a number of drawbacks. It presents indeed a complex shape and a multitude of parts that make it relatively fragile. In addition, by its architecture, this device is the seat of constraints important mechanical, since, whatever the position of the articulated lever, it undergoes significant efforts when it receives contact from the rear part of the platform.
  • the invention therefore proposes to provide a raising platform whose the influence on the stiffness of the board can be reconfigurable at any time, and for the user.
  • the invention therefore relates to a platform for raising the binding intended to be mounted on a gliding board, and one free end of which has a longitudinal sliding capacity in relation to the board.
  • the platform region that has a capacity to sliding relative to the board can be locked in a fixed position relative to to the latter by the action of the user which modifies the position of the organ mobile so that the latter cooperates or not with the fixed stud relative to the board.
  • the movable member when the movable member is in the locked position, the latter cooperates with the fixed stud so as to prevent the movement of the end of the platform.
  • the platform therefore adds its stiffness to that of the board.
  • the movable member when the movable member is in the so-called "free" position, it does not interfere with the stud fixed when the platform slides.
  • the stiffness of the latter has therefore only a very limited influence on the overall stiffness of the board.
  • the movable member can move relative to the platform either by pivoting, or by translation.
  • the portion abutting against the stud is directed opposite to the end of the platform, so as to prevent the sliding of this last in the direction towards its end.
  • the movable member abuts with respect to the front face of the stud, so as to prevent the rear end of the platform from rolling back.
  • the movable member can comprise a second portion abutting against the stud when the movable member is in locked position, so as to prevent movement of the end of the plate relative to the stud in the two longitudinal directions. In other words, in the locked position, the sliding end of the plate in relation to the board, forwards and backwards.
  • the zones abutting one against the other of the stud and of the movable member are cylindrical.
  • the two cylindrical profiles of the stud and the member mobile slide relative to each other.
  • the movable member can be embedded in a housing provided at this effect under the platform, which limits the total height of the device.
  • the platform can include further return means interposed between the platform and the movable member. These said means are capable of pressing the movable member against the stud in a direction perpendicular to the plate.
  • the recall means are designed to maintain contact and cooperation between the movable member and the stud to ensure in particular the permanence of the blocking, in particular when the organ mobile abuts against the stud.
  • the platform may include at least one light elongated longitudinally, inside which is capable of sliding an anchor point on the board, such as in particular a screw.
  • the characteristic stud is secured to the board by this anchor point, which can for example cross part of the stud before being screwed inside the structure of the board.
  • the pad or the movable member may have means to prevent the free movement of the movable member, that is to say to keep the movable member in the "locked” position , or in the "free” position. In other words, the position of the movable member can be locked to prevent the latter from moving unexpectedly during use.
  • these means of preventing free movement can be formed by bosses present on the stud, and intended to cooperate with at least an edge of the portion of the movable member abutting against said pad.
  • bosses present on the stud, and intended to cooperate with at least an edge of the portion of the movable member abutting against said pad.
  • these bosses form zones in excess thickness that the organ mobile must overcome to pass from the free position to the locked position and Conversely. The effort required to move from one position to another requires user intervention, and cannot be the result of simple vibration.
  • the means to prevent the free displacement of the movable member include a leaf spring secured to the stud cooperating with a portion of the movable member.
  • the two positions "free” and “Blocked” correspond to configurations in which the blade comes out is practically unconstrained. However, to move from a position to the other, it is necessary to exert a minimum effort sufficient to counter the effect of this leaf spring. This minimum effort is determined so as not to have any unexpected movement of the movable member.
  • the invention relates to a raising platform intended to be mounted on a sliding board such as an alpine ski, and which receives mounting the toe and heel piece of the safety binding.
  • this platform (1) comprises a metal plate (2) whose upper face (3) is intended to accommodate the stop and the heel of the binding (not shown).
  • the platform (1) is secured to the board (4) at level of its front end (not shown) and at its median level by by means of two screws passing through circular lights (5), made at through the metal plate (2). In this way, the attachment of the front end and of the median level of the platform is done without any sliding capacity compared to the board.
  • the rear end (6) of the platform (1) is equipped with two openings (7, 8) elongated longitudinally. These two elongated openings (7, 8) receive the passage of two screws (9, 10) screwed inside the board (4).
  • the heads (11, 12) of these screws (9, 10) have a substantially equal diameter the width of the elongated lights (7, 8). However, this diameter is less than the length of these elongated lights (7, 8), which allows a slight sliding longitudinal of the platform in relation to the board, at the level where the anchor is anchored the screws (7, 8) in the board.
  • this platform (1) also includes a stud (20) which is fixedly mounted relative to the ski as well as a movable member (40) accessible to the user.
  • this stud (20) has a plate (21) which comes into contact with the upper face of the ski (4), and a zone in protuberance (22) forming the stud proper.
  • the plate (21) has two holes (23, 24) crossed by the anchoring screws (9, 10), so that the plate (21) and therefore the stud (22), are firmly secured to the board (4) and therefore constitute a fixed point relative to to the latter.
  • this plate (21) is extended by a zone in protuberance (22) which arises on the upper face (25) of the plate (21).
  • This protuberance (22) is located at the rear of the plate (21), and has a shape substantially square.
  • the front side (26) of this projection (22) has a cylindrical profile, centered on the pivot axis (27) of the movable member (40).
  • the middle zone (41) is extended at the front by the zone front (43), which has a generally cylindrical shape, slightly in diameter greater than the diameter of the front side (26) of the stud (22).
  • This front zone (43) has a height substantially equal to the height of the characteristic stud (22).
  • the rear face (44) of the front zone (43) of the member mobile (40) comes into contact with the front face (26) of the stud (22), when the member mobile (40) is in the locked position, as illustrated in FIG. 1.
  • the upper zone (42) of the movable member (40) is broken down into a first cylindrical part (46), located directly above the middle zone flat (41).
  • This cylindrical zone (46) has a diameter corresponding to that an opening (14) pierced on the plate (2).
  • This cylindrical portion (46) is extends upwards by a gripping area (47) which can be tightened by the user to cause the movable member (40) to pivot.
  • This area of grip (47) may also have a transverse slot (48) allowing the use of a screwdriver or equivalent tool to pivot the the movable member (40).
  • the platform also includes a wavy washer (50) which is interposed between the movable member (40) and the plate (4). More specifically, this wavy washer (50) is located between the upper face of the middle zone (41) of the movable member (40) and the underside (15) of the plate (4).
  • This corrugated washer (50) or more generally any spring system or return, exerts a force moving the movable member (40) away from the plate (4), and therefore plate the movable member (40) on the stud (20).
  • the movable member (40) is embedded under the plate (4) in a housing (17) provided for this purpose.
  • This housing (17) has a general shape allowing the movable member (40) to pivot 180 °, that is to say between the position illustrated in Figure 2 corresponding to the free position, up to the position illustrated in Figure 3 corresponding to the locked position, or even to a position not shown, but corresponding to a pivoting of the additional 90 ° movable member, in which the movable member (40) is located in a symmetrical position with respect to its axis of rotation, in comparison with the representation of figure 2.
  • the front region (43) of the movable member (40) comes almost in contact with the border (18) of the housing made in the plate for eliminate mechanical play.
  • the height of the front region (43) of the movable member (40) is such that the latter is flush with the underside (15) of the plate (4) without protruding.
  • the protruding portion (22) of the fixed stud (20) also penetrates inside the housing (17) produced in the plate (4). To facilitate understanding, only one half of the fixed stud (20) has been shown in this figure.
  • the movable member (40) when the movable member (40) is in the position illustrated in the Figure 6, after being rotated 90 °, the front portion (43) of the movable member (40) is located in a lateral area of the platform, and therefore appears hidden in figure 6.
  • This position corresponds in top view to the representation of Figure 9.
  • the movable member (40) can move longitudinally with respect to the stud (20) without abutting against the latter.
  • the space (51) located between the front face (26) of the stud (22) and the border (18) of the housing (17) produced in the plate (4), can decrease.
  • the characteristic pad has two bosses (30, 31) located on either side of the median longitudinal plane. These bosses (30, 31) are spaced apart by a distance substantially corresponding to the width of the front zone (43) of the movable member (40). So when the organ mobile is in the locked position illustrated in Figure 7, these bosses (30, 31) oppose the free pivoting of the latter. To move from the locked position to the free position, that is to say from the position illustrated in FIG. 7 to that illustrated in Figure 9, it is necessary that the front area (43) of the movable member surmounts the boss (30). When the movable member (40) is in the so-called "free" position, the face (32) of the boss (30) opposes its movement in the direction of the position blocked.
  • the locking function provided by the bosses can be made by equivalent means such as return spring blades arranged in suitable places to lock the movable member in its free and blocked positions.
  • the part in projection (22) of the stud (20) may include a housing of general shape oblong (60).
  • This oblong housing (60) has its largest dimension according to the longitudinal axis of the board.
  • This housing (60) accommodates on one of its faces lateral a spring (61) formed of a steel rod or of the piano string type U-shaped.
  • This spring (61) has a deformation capacity transverse, and is therefore slightly separated from the side (62) of the housing (60) opposite from which it is located.
  • This housing (60) accommodates a protruding portion (64) located under the middle area (41) of the movable member (40). This portion in outgrowth has a generally square shape.
  • this protruding portion has two sides (65, 66) substantially straight, and oriented 90 ° from each other. These two sides (65, 66) come opposite the spring (61) in one or the other of the two locked positions or free from the movable member (40). More specifically, and in the form illustrated, when the movable member (42) is in the locked position, the side (65) of the portion (64, 65) comes into contact with the spring (61). To go into the free position, it is necessary to perform a 90 ° rotation of the movable member (40). During this movement, the corner (67) of the protruding portion (64), located at the intersection sides (65, 66) deforms the spring blade (61) which opposes this movement.
  • outgrowth (64) may be different from that illustrated, since it ensures a blocking of the movable member (40) in the two positions locked and free.
  • the invention is described above in detail for an embodiment in which the movable member pivots about a vertical axis, but it covers also variants in which the movable member moves by translation horizontal or vertical when the principle of the invention is respected, that is to say that this movable member can take two positions, one in which it blocks or more generally limits the movement of the end of the platform, and another position in which the sliding of the latter is free.
  • the platform according to the invention has multiple advantages, including the possibility of adjusting the stiffness of the board very easy for the user.
