Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for attaching a shoe to a sports article. It will be more particularly implemented in devices in which the shoe is attached to the sports article by its front part but in which the heel remains free to lift relative to the sporting article. Such a type of attachment device is for example used in cross-country skiing.
  • the invention will be more particularly described in its application to a fixing device of the type described for example in documents FR-2.645.758, FR-2.645.759, FR-2.645.760, FR-2.645.761, documents to which will be useful for a detailed description of these devices. It will also apply to cross-country ski binding devices of the type marketed by the applicant under the trade names "SNS Profil” and "SNS Pilot".
  • the boot comprises a fastening member, for example a transverse rod
  • the fastening device comprises a housing in which the fastening member can be received, the housing being open or closed depending on the position.
  • a lock This latch moves in fact between an open position in which the latching member can be introduced or released from the housing, and a closed position in which the latch prevents the release of the latching member.
  • This displacement is for example a longitudinal sliding.
  • the passage from the open position to the closed position is, in the example to be described below, according to a movement of advance of the lock, but it can be expected that this movement is a recoil movement (with respect to a direction front / rear of the sports article on which the fixing device is mounted).
  • the movement of the lock between its open and closed positions is controlled by an operating system which generally uses a lever articulated about a transverse axis.
  • the operating system may include a toggle mechanism interposed between the operating lever and the latch to ensure locking in the closed position of the lock.
  • Such a control system relatively sophisticated, works perfectly but has the disadvantage of being relatively expensive to manufacture.
  • the fixing device is intended for use in which the forces imposed on the device are low, for example for fasteners specifically intended for children, such a construction may be too expensive compared to the performance required.
  • Such a device is described in FR-A-2578168.
  • the object of the invention is to propose a fastening device that is particularly simple both in terms of manufacture, and therefore of costs, and in terms of use.
  • the invention proposes a device for attaching a boot to a sports article, of the type comprising a housing which is intended to receive a fastening member of the boot, and which is provided with a movable lock. capable of moving between an open position, in which the attachment member can be introduced or disengaged from the housing, and a closed position in which the latch prevents the release of the latching member, and of the type in which the movement of the lock is controlled by an operating system, characterized in that the operating system comprises a gripping member which is slidably movable in a direction not parallel to the direction of movement of the lock.
  • FIGS. 1 to 5 show a device 10 for attaching a boot 12 to a cross-country ski 14.
  • the device 10 is fixed on an upper face of the ski 14.
  • the geometrical notions of high, low, front and rear etc. relate to the arrangement of objects in normal use as illustrated in the figures, and the corresponding terms used below should not be considered as restrictions to the scope of the invention.
  • the boot 12 comprises, at the front end of its sole 16, a transverse fastening member 18 in the form of a rod.
  • This rod 18 is cylindrical and when it is enclosed in a corresponding housing 20 delimited in a fixed body 21 of the device 10, it is intended to form a hinge axis of the boot on the ski 14, which allows in particular at the heel of the shoe to lift off the ski.
  • this housing 20 is arranged in front of a guide means incorporated in the device 10, which guide means comprises for example at least one edge 22.
  • the edge 22 extends in relief on the ski 14, longitudinally rearward, and the sole 16 of the shoe has a groove 24 of complementary shape, open downwards to overlap the edge 22 and to participate in the transverse guidance of the boot relative to the ski 14.
  • the fastener 10 illustrated in the figures also comprises an elastic buffer 23 which is integral with the fixed body 21 and which is intended to cooperate with an abutment surface formed in front of the sole 16 of the boot 12.
  • the rod 18 extends across the groove 24 at the front end thereof.
  • the housing 20 is open transversely on both sides and it is also open upwards to allow the engagement of the rod 18 from top to bottom in the housing 20. It is intended to be closed upwards by a lock 26 which is movable between an open position shown in Figure 1 and a closed position shown in Figure 2. In the closed position of the lock 26, the rod 18 can not leave the housing 20, which ensures a reliable attachment of the boot 12 on the ski 14.
  • the lock 26 slides longitudinally (in a horizontal plane) from front to rear of its open position towards its closed position.
  • the fixing device 10 comprises an operating system allowing easy handling by the user.
  • the maneuvering system essentially comprises a gripping member 28 which is movable in sliding (that is to say in translation) relative to the fixed body 21, and a connecting rod 30 which is connected by its two ends on the one hand to the lock 26 and on the other hand to the gripping member 28.
  • the gripping member slides in a direction not parallel to the direction of movement of the lock 26, and the connecting rod 30 is connected to the lock 26 and to the gripping member 28 by transverse axis joints.
  • the gripping member 28 is arranged at the front of the fixing device 10 and has the shape of a mushroom whose foot 29 is mounted to move in the fixed body 21 of the fixing device according to a direction of sliding inclined, upwards and forwards, an angle of about 45 degrees to the horizontal.
  • the foot 29 has the shape of a cylinder (possibly of revolution) which is guided in a bore of corresponding section formed in the fixed body 21, which can of course be formed of several parts.
  • the foot 29 is surmounted for example by a half-ball 31 provided with sockets 33 for easy gripping.
  • the connecting rod 30 is in the form of a metal frame of substantially rectangular contour comprising two longitudinal lateral strands 32 and two transverse end strands 34 by which it is articulated with a side on the gripping member and the other side on the lock 26.
  • the rod 30 In the closed position of the operating system, the rod 30 extends substantially in a horizontal plane, in the extension of the sliding direction of the lock 26
  • the connecting rod 30 extends forwardly with respect to the lock 26 so that it is articulated by its rear end on the lock 26 and by its front end on the foot 29 of the locking member. gripping.
  • the front end of the connecting rod 30 is raised relative to its rear end.
  • the connecting rod 30, and in particular its longitudinal strands 32, is dimensioned to be able to work both in tension (during opening) and in compression (during closing).
  • these means consist of elements which allow the operating system to occupy only two stable positions, the two open and closed positions corresponding to the open and closed positions of the lock 26.
  • the rod 30 extends into a compartment 36 defined inside the fixed body 21.
  • This compartment 36 is defined in particular transversely by two longitudinal outer partitions 38 along which move the two longitudinal strands 32 of the rod 30 when manipulating the operating system between its open position and its closed position.
  • Each of these external partitions 38 has a lug 40 that extends transversely inwards so as to be located across the vertical component of the trajectory of the connecting rod 30.
  • these lugs 40 are arranged so as to cooperate with each other. with the forward end of the rod 30.
  • the upper and lower edges of the lugs 40 are chamfered.
  • the connecting rod 30 passes above or below the lugs 40 by elastic deformation of the longitudinal strands 32 which, because of the profiles of the lugs, can not remain in equilibrium on the lugs.
  • the longitudinal strands 32 necessarily pivot on one side or the other of these lugs, thus bringing the latch to its open position or to its closed position.
  • This system could also work with a single lug.
