Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a device for attaching a boot to a sports article such as a ski or a snowshoe, of the type comprising a coupling element for connection to the boot, intended to be attached to the boot.
  • sport article which can be associated with a fastening element secured to the shoe in an area between the toe ends and the "metatarsal-phalangeal" joint, and which has a flexibility such that it can freely lift the heel of the shoe compared to the sporting article once the coupling is achieved.
  • a fixation on the upper ski face allowing the pivoting of the boot around a hinge axis, so that the heel of said boot can be lifted freely relative to the ski.
  • the axis of articulation of the shoe is normally located at the front end of the shoe, which causes a unnatural unwind when the heel is lifted from the ski, because the natural part of a foot is held between the tips of the toes and the so-called metatarsophalangeal joint. This results in excessive energy expenditure and premature fatigue of the skier. These adverse effects are particularly troublesome when practicing the so-called classic style where the skier unrolls his foot before the impulse.
  • the WO 84/03225 proposes a combination of a bottom attachment and a shoe adapted to the latter in which the coupling element for the connection to the shoe is located in the area thereof corresponding to the eminence of the big toe.
  • this known attachment has drawbacks in that the portion of the shoe in front of the connection zone loses contact with the ski each time the skier practices a stride. It is therefore only the coupling element to the shoe that must resume all efforts, either transverse or longitudinal, when the rear portion of the shoe is raised. This results in fatigue of the material in the connection zone, either on the fixing side or on the insole side.
  • control and guidance of the ski during the lifting of the heel of the boot is therefore not optimal.
  • the present invention therefore aims to provide an improved attachment device that improves the control of the sport article by the foot, while allowing the natural course of the foot of the user.
  • the central idea of the invention is to improve the control of the sports article by the foot of the skier in a type of attachment known by the WO 84/03225 by creating a more effective cooperation between the sole of the shoe and the binding and the article of sport, in the zone of the shoe corresponding to the zone of the foot between the tip of the toes and the connection zone.
  • the fixing device is provided with control means allowing permanent contact, direct or indirect, of the part of the sole of the shoe located in front of the connection area with the sport article when raising the heel of the shoe.
  • the control means may comprise an abutment limiting the maximum vertical bending of the coupling element relative to the ski. This stop therefore limits the maximum angle formed by the sole of the boot and the upper surface of the ski.
  • the control means may include transverse guidance of the coupling member to provide cross-directional control of the coupling member.
  • the control means can also be formed by determining the bending curve of the coupling element, said bending curve ensuring a permanent contact of the part of the sole of the shoe located in front of the fitting point with the ski when you release the heel of the shoe.
  • FIG. 1 and 2 is represented the front of a shoe 1 which is connected to a sports article such as a cross-country ski or hiking 2 by means of a fastening device 3 according to the present invention.
  • the fixing device 3 comprises a control device 4 of the opening-closure known type, which in the example described is based on the principle of a toggle. Such a controller is already described in the FR 2,638,974 in the name of the plaintiff. Rotation of a control lever 5 of the control member 4 causes translation, inside a hollow front portion 25 of a guide edge 25, 26, of a coupling element which the example described consists of a bent wire 6.
  • the guide edge 25, 26, cooperates in a manner known per se with an associated groove 8a formed in the sole 8 of the shoe.
  • the coupling element 6 may be constituted by any other elastic means such as for example by a leaf spring having a certain flexibility with respect to a flexion in a longitudinal and vertical plane with respect to the upper face. ski.
  • This wire 6 is bent in the shape of a "U” and fixed on the control member 4, on the front side of the ski, by its free ends 19. It extends essentially parallel to the ski 2 to end in a bent section forming a hook 7.
  • the length of the coupling element 6 is chosen such that the hook 7 is below an area of the sole 8 of the shoe 1 corresponding to a foot zone included between the tip of the toes and the so-called metatarsophalangeal part.
  • the bending of the coupling element 6 corresponds to the natural unwinding of a foot.
  • the outer sole 8 of the shoe is provided with a corresponding attachment means 9 adapted to the cooperation with the coupling element.
  • This attachment means 9 may consist of a circular section axis, a rectangular section beam, a notch, etc.
  • the attachment means is constituted by a metal axis 9 having a circular section.
  • the boot 1 is placed on the upper face 10 of the ski so that the attachment pin 9 integral with the outer sole of the boot 1 is inserted into a transverse groove 11 of the guide edge 25, 26, of the 3.
  • the bent wire 6 orthogonally crosses the bottom 13 of this groove 11.
  • the hook 7 of the bent wire 6 is entirely withdrawn towards the rear of the ski, that is to say right in the drawing, in an associated housing 12 located in the rear zone 26 of the guide edge 25, 26.
  • the operating lever 5 is actuated to thereby cause translation of the bent wire 6 and the hook 7 towards the front of the ski, that is to say say left on the drawing, thus leaving the hook 7 of the housing 12.
  • the hook 7 is in the groove 11.
  • the axis 9 of the sole 8 of the shoe 1 is then completely locked between the hook 7 and a wall 15 limiting the transverse groove 11 towards the front of the ski.
  • the shoe 1 is then fixed to the ski 1 by means of the fastening device in this closed position of the control member 4.
  • the axis 9 slides up the wall (ramp) 15 of the groove 11, said wall 15 having a shape corresponding essentially to an arc of a circle centered on the front 25a of the guide edge 25 corresponding to a zone "recess" of the bent wire 6.
  • the bent wire 6 is bent upwardly within a housing 14 formed in the portion of the guide edge 25 extending from the groove 11 towards the front of the ski 1.
  • This housing 14 has a ramp-like upper wall 14a extending from the front end 25a of the guide ramp up to the level of the groove 11, to allow bending and possibly guiding the wire bent 6 during heel lift.
  • the upper wall 17 of the guide edge 25 closes the housing 14 upwards.
  • the rear end of the upper wall 17 thus constitutes a stop 18 limiting the maximum bending towards the top of the wire 6, as shown in FIG. figure 3 .
  • the maximum uplift of the heel of the boot 1 and thus the maximum angle between the sole of the boot 1 and the upper surface of the ski are thus limited by the stop 18, which allows improved control during the entire lifting phase.
  • the abutment of the wire 6 against the abutment 18 allows the recovery of efforts, and thus relieves the attachment 19 of the wire 6 front side of the ski.
  • the bent wire 6 in the example described is formed by two longitudinal and substantially parallel branches 20, 21, which are connected to one another by a bent crossbar forming the hook 7 in cross section ( Figures 1 to 3 ).
  • each longitudinal branch 20, 21 is housed inside a separate housing 14 or 14 'respectively.
  • the walls 22, 23, delimiting the housings 14, 14 ', inwards are inclined, upwardly, outwardly, so that the longitudinal branches 20, 21, connected to each other by the 7 are also bent outwardly of the ski in a plane substantially parallel to the ski surface during bending of the wire 6 upwards.
  • the branches 20, 21, tend permanently to reach their initial position at the bottom of the housing 14, 14 ', and therefore a restoring force which tends to return the ski 1 or other sport article plated against the heel .
  • the bending energy of the wire 6 is restored at the end of the pulse.
  • the recessed wire 6 then serves both to conserve the return energy of the ski and to lock the axis 9 secured to the boot 1.
  • the vertical walls of the housing 14, 14 ', furthermore form a transverse guide of the coupling element 6, which allows improved control of the ski or sports article during the entire heel lifting phase.
  • transverse guidance of the coupling element 6 can be constituted by any other means having transverse guiding properties, such as grooves, tips, etc.
  • the bending curve of the wire 6 is determined by factors, such as, for example, the shape of the housings 14, 14 ', particularly the shape and orientation of their internal walls 22, 23, the characteristics of the material of the wire 6, and the way it is fixed and guided in 19, 25.
  • the bending of the wire 6 is defined by said parameters in such a way that the part 24 of the sole 8 of the boot 1 situated in front of the attachment means (axis) 9 remains constantly in direct or indirect contact with the when this effect can be obtained by a rounding 24a of said portion 24 of the shoe 1, which is adapted to the bending curve of the coupling element 6.
  • control and referencing of the article of sport and in this case skiing which are improved compared to the prior art through the continuous cooperation between the front part of the sole and the surface skiing during all phases of a typical stride of cross-country skiing, both in classic skating.
  • the sole 8 comprises a longitudinal groove cooperating with the guide edge 25, 26.
  • the guide edge 25, 26 During the course of the portion 24 of the shoe, not only the axis 9 but also the guide edge 25, 26, take up transversal efforts.
