Description

La présente invention concerne un dispositif de retenue d'une chaussure sur une planche de glisse sur neige destinée plus particulièrement à la pratique du surf, encore appelé snowboard. Elle concerne plus particulièrement ses moyens de fixation au surf et ses moyens de réglage en position angulaire.The present invention relates to a device for retaining a shoe on a snowboard intended for more particularly in the practice of surfing, also called snowboarding. She relates more particularly to its means of attachment to the surf and its angular position adjustment means.

Les planches de glisse sur neige sont de différents types, à savoir, skis alpins, skis de randonnée, skis de fond, skis de sauts, skis pour le ski acrobatique.Snow boards are of different types, namely, Alpine skis, cross-country skis, cross-country skis, jump skis, skis for skiing acrobatic.

Mais il existe aussi des planches de glisse sur neige appelée «surf» dont la largeur est suffisamment large pour pouvoir retenir les deux chaussures du skieur, dans une position angulaire, c'est-à-dire en biais par rapport au plan de symétrie générale de la planche, l'extrémité avant des chaussures faisant face vers le droite pour un droitier, ou vers la gauche pour un gaucher. Ainsi, l'un des pieds est disposé devant l'autre pied, chacune des chaussures étant par ailleurs dans une position angulaire différente de l'autre chaussure. On notera aussi que chaque utilisateur souhaite pouvoir régler la position angulaire de ses chaussures, soit de façon définitive soit de façon à ce que ce réglage puisse être modifié.But there are also snow boards called "surf" whose width is wide enough to be able to hold the two skier's boots, in an angular position, that is to say at an angle relative to the general plane of symmetry of the board, the front end of the shoes facing right for a right-handed person, or to the left for a left-hander. So, one of the feet is placed in front of the other foot, each of the shoes also being in an angular position different from the other shoe. Note also that each user would like to be able to adjust the angular position of their shoes, i.e. definitively so that this setting can be changed.

Ainsi, les chaussures de l'utilisateur sont fixées au surf, par exemple, sur une platine qui est soit fixée de façon non réglable au ski dans la position angulaire choisie, soit montée sur un pivot comprenant des moyens de retenue qui permettent de régler la position angulaire, par rotation autour d'un axe vertical, et d'immobiliser ladite platine par verrouillage.Thus, the user's shoes are attached to the surf, by example, on a plate which is either fixed in a non-adjustable way to the ski in the angular position chosen, either mounted on a pivot comprising retaining means which make it possible to adjust the angular position, by rotation about a vertical axis, and to immobilize said plate by locking.

On connaít, par exemple, le dispositif divulgué par le brevet français n° 2 743 306 ou encore n° 2 726 480, n° 2 755 029, n° 2 752 169, WO 97/31688, n° 2 736 842 ou encore la demande de brevet européenne EP 0 351 298 ou allemande G 9 416 208.We know, for example, the device disclosed by the patent French No. 2,743,306 or No. 2,726,480, No. 2,755,029, No. 2,752,169, WO 97/31688, No. 2,736,842 or even the European patent application EP 0 351 298 or German G 9 416 208.

Mais tous les dispositifs de l'art antérieur ne sont pas très pratiques, et souvent peu fiables.But all the devices of the prior art are not very practical, and often unreliable.

La présente invention, propose un nouveau dispositif particulièrement simple, facile à mettre en oeuvre, et fiable.The present invention provides a new device particularly simple, easy to use, and reliable.

Ainsi, selon l'invention, le dispositif de retenue d'une chaussure sur une planche de glisse du type comprenant

  • une platine, munie des moyens de retenue pour la chaussure,
  • un corps de pivot situé dans la zone centrale de la platine, la retenant au moins verticalement, ledit pivot comportant une vis centrale ou un écrou central,
  • une embase fixée à la planche de glisse, comprenant un filetage destiné à coopérer avec la vis centrale ou l'écrou central du pivot, est caractérisé en ce que le corps de pivot comporte un logement central d'encastrement ouvert vers le bas, dans lequel est engagée l'embase, et en ce que la tige filetée de la vis centrale ou la partie filetée de l'écrou central fait saillie vers le bas dans le logement central d'encastrement, tandis que la longueur la tige filetée de la vis centrale ou la partie filetée de l'écrou central est égale ou inférieure à la profondeur du logement d'encastrement.
Thus, according to the invention, the device for retaining a boot on a sliding board of the type comprising
  • a plate, provided with retaining means for the shoe,
  • a pivot body located in the central zone of the plate, retaining it at least vertically, said pivot comprising a central screw or a central nut,
  • a base fixed to the gliding board, comprising a thread intended to cooperate with the central screw or the central nut of the pivot, is characterized in that the pivot body comprises a central recessing housing open downwards, in which is engaged the base, and in that the threaded rod of the central screw or the threaded part of the central nut projects downwards into the central recess, while the length of the threaded rod of the central screw or the threaded part of the central nut is equal to or less than the depth of the recess.

Selon une caractéristique complémentaire, la platine comprend un trou central destiné à recevoir et coopérer avec le pivot, ledit trou central comprenant par ailleurs un rebord périphérique dont la face transversale tournée vers le haut, comprend une denture circulaire constituée d'une succession de saillies et de creux radiaux, destinée à coopérer avec une denture circulaire constituée d'une succession de saillies et de creux radiaux réalisés sur la face inférieure transversale d'un rebord périphérique réalisé sur le corps de pivot.According to an additional characteristic, the plate comprises a central hole intended to receive and cooperate with the pivot, said central hole further comprising a peripheral rim whose transverse face facing upwards, includes a circular toothing consisting of succession of projections and radial recesses, intended to cooperate with a circular toothing consisting of a succession of projections and depressions radials made on the transverse underside of a flange peripheral produced on the pivot body.

Selon une autre caractéristique, la vis centrale, est retenue prisonnière du pivot grâce à une pièce élastique de retenue.According to another characteristic, the central screw is retained captive of the pivot thanks to an elastic retaining piece.

Ajoutons que l'embase a une épaisseur supérieure à 5 mm, et/ou supérieure à la moitié de l'épaisseur du corps de pivot.Add that the base has a thickness greater than 5 mm, and / or more than half the thickness of the pivot body.

Selon un mode d'exécution préféré l'embase est de forme générale carrée dont chacun des angles présentent chacun une saillie s'étendant de façon diagonale, tandis que le logement d'encastrement est de forme complémentaire empêchant le corps de pivot de se déplacer en translation et en rotation.According to a preferred embodiment, the base is of general shape square each of whose angles each have a projection extending from diagonally, while the recess is shaped complementary preventing the pivot body from moving in translation and rotating.

Notons aussi que selon ce même mode chacune des saillies diagonales comprend un trou destiné à recevoir les vis de fixation au surf.Note also that according to this same mode each of the projections diagonal includes a hole for receiving the screws for fixing to the surf.

Selon une variante, la tige filetée est sur l'embase tandis que le corps de pivot comprend un écrou fileté.Alternatively, the threaded rod is on the base while the pivot body includes a threaded nut.

On comprendra que grâce aux moyens de l'invention, le professionnel du montage des fixations, pourra préparer des surfs avec l'embase de l'invention et pourra y fixer différents type de platine, et ce en choisissant la platine désirée.It will be understood that thanks to the means of the invention, the professional mounting fixtures, can prepare surfboards with the base of the invention and can attach different types of plate to it, and choosing the desired deck.

L'invention concerne aussi le surf équipé des embases.The invention also relates to surfing equipped with bases.

    • Une planche de glisse (1) destinée à la pratique du surf, de plan vertical de symétrie générale (P), comprend deux dispositifs de retenue (2a, 2b) appelés aussi fixations pour retenir sur ledit surf les deux chaussures (30) de l'utilisateur. Les deux dispositifs de retenue sont fixés sur la surface supérieure (3) du surf (1) de façon à ce que leur plan général de symétrie respectif (T) soit en biais par rapport au plan vertical de symétrie générale (P) du surf (1), tel que cela est illustré aux figures 1, 2, et 3, mais comme cela apparaít plus particulièrement à la figure 1.A gliding board (1) intended for surfing, from plane vertical of general symmetry (P), includes two retaining devices (2a, 2b) also called fixings to retain on said surf both shoes (30) of the user. Both retainers are attached on the upper surface (3) of the surf (1) so that their general plane of respective symmetry (T) either at an angle to the vertical plane of general symmetry (P) of the surf (1), as illustrated in FIGS. 1, 2, and 3, but as appears more particularly in Figure 1.

    Ainsi, le plan général de symétrie (T) de la fixation avant (2a) forme avec le plan vertical de symétrie générale (P) du surf, un angle aigu (A) ouvert vers l'avant (AV), tandis que le plan général de symétrie (T) de la fixation arrière (2b) forme, lui aussi, avec le plan (P) un angle aigu (B) ouvert vers l'avant (AV).Thus, the general plane of symmetry (T) of the front attachment (2a) forms with the vertical plane of general symmetry (P) of the surf, an acute angle (A) open towards the front (AV), while the general plane of symmetry (T) of the rear attachment (2b) also forms an acute angle (B) with the plane (P) open forward (AV).

    Le surf illustré à la figure 1 représente une disposition de fixation pour un droitier, c'est-à-dire que les angles (A) et (B) sont ouverts vers l'avant (AV) et vers la droite (DR). Pour un gaucher, les angles (A) et (B) seraient ouverts vers l'avant et vers la gauche (GA). On notera aussi que l'angle (A) de la fixation avant (2a), est différent de l'angle (B) de la fixation arrière (2b).The board illustrated in Figure 1 represents a fixing arrangement for a right-handed person, that is to say that the angles (A) and (B) are open towards front (AV) and to the right (DR). For a left-handed person, angles (A) and (B) would be open to the front and to the left (GA). Note also that the angle (A) of the front fixing (2a), is different from the angle (B) of the rear fixing (2b).

    On décrira ci-après, l'un des dispositifs de retenue de la chaussure que l'on désignera sous la référence générale (2), qui comprend des moyens permettant d'être retenu et fixé au surf dans une position angulaire choisie.One of the shoe retention devices will be described below. which will be designated under the general reference (2), which includes means for being retained and fixed to the surf in a position angular chosen.

    A cet effet, le dispositif de retenue (2) est constitué par une platine (4), ou plaque support sur laquelle est fixée la chaussure (30) de l'utilisateur par tout moyen approprié, ladite platine étant retenue sur le surf par sa partie centrale grâce à une pièce centrale de retenue ou pivot (5) circulaire et qui se présente sous la forme d'un disque d'axe vertical (X, X'), permettant à l'utilisateur de régler la position angulaire de sa platine, par rotation autour de l'axe vertical (X, X'), puis en assurer le verrouillage dans la position choisie.For this purpose, the retaining device (2) consists of a plate (4), or support plate on which the shoe (30) is fixed the user by any appropriate means, said plate being retained on the surfing through its central part thanks to a central retaining piece or pivot (5) circular and which is in the form of a disc with a vertical axis (X, X '), allowing the user to adjust the angular position of its plate, by rotation around the vertical axis (X, X '), then secure it in the chosen position.

    Selon le mode de réalisation décrit, la platine (4) se présente sous la forme d'une plaque allongée s'étendant horizontalement, sur laquelle, la chaussure est retenue par exemple par un organe de retenue avant (6) retenant l'avant de la chaussure, et un organe de retenue arrière (7) retenant ladite chaussure au niveau du coup de pied.According to the embodiment described, the plate (4) is presented under the form of an elongated plate extending horizontally, on which the shoe is retained for example by a front retaining member (6) retaining the front of the shoe, and a rear retaining member (7) retaining said shoe at the kick.

    L'organe de retenue avant (6) et l'organe de retenue arrière (7) sont, selon le mode d'exécution illustré à titre d'exemple, constitués par une sangle semi-rigide réalisée, par exemple, en matière plastique, comprenant avantageusement des moyens de réglage pour les adapter aux dimensions volumiques de ladite chaussure. Bien entendu, tout autre moyen de retenue de la chaussure peut être prévu, autre que des sangles semi-rigides, comme par exemple selon les moyens décrits dans le brevet français publié sous le N° 2 742 997.The front retaining member (6) and the rear retaining member (7) are, according to the embodiment illustrated by way of example, constituted by a semi-rigid strap made, for example, of plastic, comprising advantageously adjustment means to adapt them to the dimensions volumes of said shoe. Of course, any other means of shoe retention may be provided, other than semi-rigid straps, as for example according to the means described in the patent French published under N ° 2 742 997.

    Selon une caractéristique de l'invention, le pivot (5) est fixé de façon amovible par une vis centrale (8) sur une embase (9), fixée au surf (1), par exemple, par quatre vis de fixation (10a, 10b, 10c, 10d).According to a characteristic of the invention, the pivot (5) is fixed so removable by a central screw (8) on a base (9), fixed to the surface (1), by example, by four fixing screws (10a, 10b, 10c, 10d).

    Par ailleurs, la platine (4) comprend un trou central (11) destiné à recevoir et coopérer avec le pivot (5). Ce trou central comprend par ailleurs un rebord périphérique (12) comprenant sur sa face transversale tournée vers le haut, une denture circulaire (13a) constituée d'une succession de saillies et de creux radiaux dont on expliquera la fonction.Furthermore, the plate (4) comprises a central hole (11) intended to receive and cooperate with the pivot (5). This central hole includes elsewhere a peripheral rim (12) comprising on its transverse face facing up, a circular toothing (13a) consisting of succession of projections and radial hollows, the function of which will be explained.

    L'embase (9), réalisée par exemple en matière plastique ou en toute autre matière, comme par exemple en aluminium, ou autre est de forme générale carrée dont chacun des angles présentent chacun une saillie angulaire (14a, 14b, 14c, 14d) s'étendant de façon diagonale, tandis que chacune des saillies diagonales comprend un trou de passage (15a, 15b, 15c, 15d) destiné à recevoir les vis de fixation au surf (10a, 10b, 10c, 10d).The base (9), made for example of plastic or in any other material, such as aluminum, or the like is shaped general square of which each of the angles each have a projection angular (14a, 14b, 14c, 14d) extending diagonally, while each of the diagonal projections includes a through hole (15a, 15b, 15c, 15d) intended to receive the fixing screws to the surf (10a, 10b, 10c, 10d).

    L'embase (9) est, par ailleurs, percée d'un trou central (160) comprenant un filetage (161) porté par un écrou fileté (16).The base (9) is, moreover, pierced with a central hole (160) comprising a thread (161) carried by a threaded nut (16).

    Le pivot est constitué principalement par un corps de pivot (5), de forme générale circulaire et comprend un logement central d'encastrement (17) dans lequel est engagée l'embase (9). Aussi, ce logement est de formes et de dimensions correspondantes à celles de l'embase (9), du moins en ce qui concerne sa périphérie.The pivot mainly consists of a pivot body (5), of generally circular in shape and includes a central recess (17) in which is engaged the base (9). Also, this accommodation is of forms and of dimensions corresponding to those of the base (9), at least in this which concerns its periphery.

    On notera que le corps de pivot (5) comprend une paroi périphérique circulaire de pivotement (18a) assurant par coopération avec la paroi circulaire correspondante (18b) du trou central (11) de la platine (4), le pivotement de cette dernière.Note that the pivot body (5) includes a wall circular pivoting device (18a) ensuring by cooperation with the corresponding circular wall (18b) of the central hole (11) of the plate (4), the pivoting of the latter.

    La retenue verticale de la platine (4) est assurée par le pivot grâce à un rebord périphérique (12b) faisant saillie vers l'extérieur, destiné à coopérer avec le rebord périphérique (12) du trou central (11) de ladite platine. The vertical retention of the plate (4) is ensured by the pivot thanks to a peripheral rim (12b) projecting outwards, intended to cooperate with the peripheral rim (12) of the central hole (11) of said platinum.

    Le verrouillage du corps de pivot (5) sur l'embase (9) permet donc la retenue vers le haut de la platine par coopération du rebord périphérique (12b) avec le rebord périphérique (12) du trou central (11), mais aussi le verrouillage dans la position angulaire choisie lors du montage. A cet effet, la face inférieure transversale du rebord périphérique (12b) du pivot comprend une denture circulaire (13b) constituée d'une succession de saillies et de creux radiaux destinés à coopérer avec la denture circulaire (13a) correspondante réalisée sur la face supérieure du rebord périphérique (12) du trou central (11) de la platine.Locking the pivot body (5) on the base (9) therefore allows retaining up the plate by cooperation of the flange peripheral (12b) with the peripheral rim (12) of the central hole (11), but also the locking in the angular position chosen during the mounting. For this purpose, the transverse underside of the peripheral rim (12b) of the pivot comprises a circular toothing (13b) consisting of succession of projections and radial recesses intended to cooperate with the corresponding circular toothing (13a) produced on the upper face of the peripheral edge (12) of the central hole (11) of the plate.

    La coopération de la denture (13b) du pivot (5) avec la denture (13a) de la platine (4) permet de condamner la rotation de l'embase lorsque le pivot est fixé sur l'embase, tel que cela est illustré à la figure 11.The cooperation of the toothing (13b) of the pivot (5) with the toothing (13a) of the plate (4) allows to condemn the rotation of the base when the pivot is fixed on the base, as illustrated in figure 11.

    Le centre du pivot comprend la vis centrale de fixation (8) dont la tige filetée (8a) fait saillie vers le bas (BA), dans le logement central d'encastrement (17), tandis que ladite vis est solidaire du pivot. En effet, la vis de fixation (8) est retenue prisonnière du pivot grâce à une pièce élastique de retenue (20).The center of the pivot includes the central fixing screw (8), the threaded rod (8a) projects downwards (BA), in the central housing embedding (17), while said screw is integral with the pivot. Indeed, the fixing screw (8) is held captive of the pivot by a piece retaining elastic (20).

    Ladite pièce élastique de retenue (20) est réalisée, par exemple, à l'aide d'une tôle fine d'acier et présente une première branche transversale (20a) dont les extrémités sont fixées au pivot grâce à, par exemple, des rivets (25) et une deuxième branche transversale (20b) s'étendant perpendiculairement à la première branche. La partie centrale (20c) comprend un trou central (20d) bordé de lamelles élastiques (20e) destinées à s'engager par déformation dans une gorge circulaire (8b) de la tige (8a) de la vis (8). Cette dernière est ainsi prisonnière du pivot grâce à la pièce élastique de retenue (20). Said elastic retaining part (20) is made, for example, at using a thin sheet of steel and has a first transverse branch (20a), the ends of which are fixed to the pivot by, for example, rivets (25) and a second transverse branch (20b) extending perpendicular to the first branch. The central part (20c) includes a central hole (20d) bordered by elastic strips (20th) intended to engage by deformation in a circular groove (8b) of the rod (8a) of the screw (8). The latter is thus trapped in the pivot thanks to the elastic retaining part (20).

    On ajoutera que la deuxième branche transversale (20b) est plus courte que la première branche et est courbe en position de repos pour solliciter élastiquement vers le haut le pivot lors d'un démontage.We will add that the second transverse branch (20b) is more short than the first branch and is curved in the rest position for stress the pivot elastically upwards during disassembly.

    On notera aussi que le pivot (5) comprend un capot décoratif (22) enfermant la pièce élastique de retenue qui est pris en sandwich entre le corps de pivot et le capot décoratif. Ladite pièce élastique de retenue (20) comprend un trou central (20d), tandis que la tête (8d) de la vis est apparente au-dessus du capot, tandis-que sa tige filetée (8a) fait saillie vers le bas dans le logement central d'encastrement (17) sur une longueur (H1). Ajoutons que le capot décoratif (22) est fixé au corps de pivot (5), par exemple, par les rivets (25), tandis qu'il retient en même temps la pièce élastique de retenue (20). On ajoutera que le capot (22) comprend un trou axial (22a) permettant le âssage de la tige filetée (8a) de la vis (8).It will also be noted that the pivot (5) comprises a decorative cover (22) enclosing the elastic retaining piece which is sandwiched between the pivot body and decorative cover. Said elastic retaining part (20) includes a central hole (20d), while the head (8d) of the screw is visible above the hood, while its threaded rod (8a) projects towards the bottom in the central recess (17) over a length (H1). Add that the decorative cover (22) is fixed to the pivot body (5), by example, by the rivets (25), while it simultaneously retains the part retaining elastic (20). We will add that the cover (22) includes a hole axial (22a) allowing the threaded rod (8a) of the screw (8) to be wired.

    Ainsi, la vis centrale de fixation (8) est solidaire du pivot (5), tandis que ledit pivot (5) avec sa vis (8) forme un ensemble solidaire constituant le sous-ensemble de retenue (50), formé aussi dans l'exemple de réalisation par l'assemblage avec le corps de pivot, de la pièce élastique de retenue de vis (20), et du capot décoratif (22).Thus, the central fixing screw (8) is integral with the pivot (5), while that said pivot (5) with its screw (8) forms an integral assembly constituting the retaining sub-assembly (50), also formed in the exemplary embodiment by assembling with the pivot body, the elastic retaining piece of screws (20), and the decorative cover (22).

    Selon une caractéristique de l'invention, la longueur (H1) de la tige filetée (8a) de la vis centrale de fixation (8) faisant saillie vers le bas dans le logement central d'encastrement (17), est égale ou inférieure à la profondeur (H2) dudit logement d'encastrement (17).According to a characteristic of the invention, the length (H1) of the rod threaded (8a) of the central fixing screw (8) projecting downwards into the central mounting housing (17), is equal to or less than the depth (H2) of said embedding housing (17).

    Les figures 8, 9, 10 et 11 sont des vues, en coupe diamétrale du pivot, de l'embase et de la platine, illustrant l'approche, la mise en place et la fixation du pivot (4) sur l'embase (9), préalablement fixée au surf par ses vis de fixation (10a, 10b, 10c, 10d).Figures 8, 9, 10 and 11 are views, in diametral section of the pivot, of the base and of the plate, illustrating the approach, the installation and the fixing of the pivot (4) on the base (9), previously fixed to the surf by its fixing screws (10a, 10b, 10c, 10d).

    La figure 8 est une vue montrant les différents éléments avant montage, à savoir :

    • le sous-ensemble de retenue (50) avec sa vis centrale (8) son capot (22), sa pièce élastique de retenue (20), son corps de pivot (5),
    • la platine (4),
    • l'embase (9), et son écrou fileté (16), les vis de fixation (10a, 10b, 10c, 10d) n'étant pas représentées.
    FIG. 8 is a view showing the various elements before mounting, namely:
    • the retaining sub-assembly (50) with its central screw (8) its cover (22), its elastic retaining part (20), its pivot body (5),
    • the plate (4),
    • the base (9), and its threaded nut (16), the fixing screws (10a, 10b, 10c, 10d) not being shown.

    La figure 9 est une vue au début de la mise en place de la platine avec son pivot. Sur cette figure on s'aperçoit que l'encastrement de l'embase (9) dans le logement central d'encastrement (17) se fait avant que la vis centrale de fixation (8) n'accoste et vienne en prise avec le filetage de l'embase (9), c'est-à-dire avant que le filetage (8a) de la vis (8) ne vienne en prise avec le filetage (161) de l'embase. Ce qui permet une mise en place particulièrement précise et facile du pivot sur l'embase, ceci étant du au fait que la vis centrale de fixation (8) est solidaire du corps de pivot (5) et au fait que la longueur (H1) de la tige filetée (8a) de la vis centrale de fixation (8) faisant saillie vers le bas dans le logement central d'encastrement (17), est égale ou inférieure à la profondeur (H2) dudit logement d'encastrement (17).Figure 9 is a view at the beginning of the establishment of the plate with its pivot. In this figure we see that the embedding of the base (9) in the central housing (17) is made before the central fixing screw (8) does not come into contact with the thread of the base (9), that is to say before the thread (8a) of the screw (8) comes into taken with the thread (161) of the base. What allows a set up particularly precise and easy to pivot on the base, this being due to the central fixing screw (8) is integral with the pivot body (5) and the fact that the length (H1) of the threaded rod (8a) of the central screw fixing (8) projecting downwards in the central housing embedding (17), is equal to or less than the depth (H2) of said installation housing (17).

    Selon le mode préféré, on choisira la solution selon laquelle, la longueur (H1) de la tige filetée (8a) de la vis centrale de fixation (8) faisant saillie vers le bas dans le logement central d'encastrement (17), est inférieure à la profondeur (H2) du logement d'encastrement (17). According to the preferred mode, the solution according to which, the length (H1) of the threaded rod (8a) of the central fixing screw (8) making protruding down into the central recess (17), is less than the depth (H2) of the mounting housing (17).

    Bien entendu, dans le cas ou la longueur (H1) de la tige filetée (8a) de la vis centrale de fixation (8) faisant saillie vers le bas dans le logement central d'encastrement (17), serait égale à la profondeur (H2) du logement d'encastrement (17), il serait prévu à l'entrée du trou (160) de l'embase (9) un dégagement d'entrée (162) de profondeur appropriée, tel que cela apparaít sur la figure 12.Of course, in the case where the length (H1) of the threaded rod (8a) the central fixing screw (8) projecting downwards into the housing central installation (17), would be equal to the depth (H2) of the housing mounting (17), it would be provided at the entrance of the hole (160) of the base (9) an entry clearance (162) of appropriate depth, such as that appears in Figure 12.

    La figure 10 est une vue en cours de fixation du pivot sur l'embase. Dans cette étape l'utilisateur peut tranquillement agir sur la vis centrale (8) pour fixer le sous-ensemble de retenue (50) sur l'embase (9) et assurer ainsi la retenue de la platine (4), et placer l'ensemble dans la position de retenue verrouillée illustrée à la figure 11.Figure 10 is a view during fixing of the pivot on the base. In this step the user can calmly act on the central screw (8) to fix the retaining sub-assembly (50) on the base (9) and thus ensure retaining the plate (4), and place the assembly in the retaining position locked shown in Figure 11.

    Dans la position de la figure 10 l'utilisateur peut faire pivoter l'embase (4) pour la placer dans la position angulaire choisie, car les dentures (13a, 13b) ne sont pas encore engagéesIn the position of figure 10 the user can rotate the base (4) to place it in the angular position chosen, because the teeth (13a, 13b) are not yet engaged

    Lors du verrouillage, il y a mise en prise et en coopération de la denture (13b) du corps de pivot, avec la denture correspondante (13a) de la platine. Bien entendu, avant bridage complet, l'utilisateur, par pivotement de la platine autour de l'axe vertical (X, X') la place dans la position angulaire appropriée. Position, qu'il peut à tout moment modifier en dévissant partiellement la vis centrale de fixation (8) jusqu'à libération de la coopération des dentures respectives (13a, 13b).When locking, the locking and engagement of the toothing (13b) of the pivot body, with the corresponding toothing (13a) of platinum. Of course, before complete clamping, the user, by pivoting of the plate around the vertical axis (X, X ') places it in the appropriate angular position. Position, which he can change at any time by partially unscrewing the central fixing screw (8) until release of the cooperation of the respective teeth (13a, 13b).

    Il va de soi que le trou (160) de l'embase (9) pourrait être directement fileté sans qu'il y ait un écrou indépendant tel que l'écrou (16) représenté précédemment. Par ailleurs, les vis de fixations (10a, 10b, 10c, 10d) pourraient être préposées sur l'embase, c'est-à-dire mise en place et retenue dans leurs trous respectifs (15a, 15b, 15c, 15d) de façon à ce que seul la pointe ne fasse saillie sous la face inférieure (90), tel que cela est illustré à la figure 16.It goes without saying that the hole (160) in the base (9) could be directly threaded without an independent nut such as the nut (16) previously shown. Furthermore, the fixing screws (10a, 10b, 10c, 10d) could be attached to the base, that is to say installation and retained in their respective holes (15a, 15b, 15c, 15d) so that only the point protrudes under the underside (90), as is illustrated in figure 16.

    On notera que la forme générale de la périphérie (91) de l'embase (9) et la forme générale de la périphérie (50) du logement d'encastrement correspondant (17) peuvent avoir d'autres formes que celle illustrée. L'essentiel étant d'avoir des formes complémentaires empêchant le corps de pivot de se déplacer par rapport à l'embase, aussi bien en translation qu'en rotation. Dans la réalisation préférée illustrée la coopération entre l'embase et le corps de pivot se fait par une succession de profils en saillie et en creux, respectivement (170a, 170b, 170c, 170d- 92a, 92b, 92c, 92d).Note that the general shape of the periphery (91) of the base (9) and the general shape of the periphery (50) of the mounting housing corresponding (17) may have other forms than that illustrated. The main thing is to have complementary forms preventing the body pivot to move relative to the base, both in translation than in rotation. In the preferred embodiment illustrated the cooperation between the base and the pivot body is made by a succession of projecting profiles and intaglio, respectively (170a, 170b, 170c, 170d- 92a, 92b, 92c, 92d).

    La forme générale de l'embase (9), notamment sa périphérie, qui est illustrée selon une forme générale carrée, pourrait, bien entendu avoir toutes autres forme, telle que triangulaire, ovale, voire ronde avec des creux ou des saillies, voire une denture périphérique coopérant avec des saillies, des creux, une denture réalisée dans le logement d'encastrement afin de condamner en position d'utilisation la rotation du corps de pivot. Rappelons que la pièce élastique de retenue (20) assure la retenue de la vis centrale (8), mais qu'elle permet grâce à la deuxième branche transversale, de solliciter vers le haut le sous-ensemble (50) dès que l'utilisateur dévisse la vis centrale (8).The general shape of the base (9), in particular its periphery, which is illustrated in a generally square shape, could of course have any other shape, such as triangular, oval, or even round with hollow or protrusions, or even a peripheral toothing cooperating with projections, recesses, toothing produced in the recess in order to lock in rotation the rotation of the pivot body. Remember that the elastic retaining part (20) ensures the retention of the screw central (8), but which it allows thanks to the second transverse branch, to urge upwards the sub-assembly (50) as soon as the user unscrews the central screw (8).

    Ajoutons que l'embase (9) a une épaisseur supérieure à 5 mm, et/ou supérieure à la moitié de l'épaisseur du corps de pivot (5).Add that the base (9) has a thickness greater than 5 mm, and / or greater than half the thickness of the pivot body (5).

    Pour procéder au montage du pivot il suffit pour l'opérateur de présenter le sous-ensemble de retenue (50) au-dessus de l'embase, qui a été préalablement fixée au surf, pour que l'embase (9) trouve rapidement et sans encombre le logement d'encastrement (17), puis l'opérateur n'a plus qu'à visser la vis centrale (8), et obtenir ainsi le verrouillage après avoir mis la platine (4) dans la position angulaire appropriée.To install the pivot, the operator just has to present the retaining sub-assembly (50) above the base, which has been previously attached to the surfboard, so that the base (9) finds quickly and safely the installation housing (17), then the operator no longer has that to screw the central screw (8), and thus to obtain the locking after having put the plate (4) in the appropriate angular position.

    Pour modifier la position angulaire de la platine, l'utilisateur, ou l'opérateur, n'a qu'à dévisser la vis centrale (8) jusqu'à libération de la coopération des dentures, puis faire pivoter la platine ainsi libérée, autour de l'axe vertical (X, X'), puis procéder à nouveau au verrouillage, par revissage de la vis centrale.To modify the angular position of the plate, the user, or the operator only has to unscrew the central screw (8) until the cooperation of the teeth, then rotate the plate thus released, around vertical axis (X, X '), then lock again, by screwing in the central screw.

    On remarquera également que la forme choisie de l'embase (9) a été définie autour du standard de montage sur le surf à quatre vis, mais il va de soi que la forme de l'embase pourrait être définie autour du standard de montage à trois vis, tel que cela est illustré par l'exemple de réalisation figure 17.It will also be noted that the chosen shape of the base (9) has been defined around the mounting standard on the four screw surf, but it's going of course the shape of the base could be defined around the standard mounting with three screws, as illustrated by the embodiment figure 17.

    Les figures 13, 14, 15 sont des vues similaires aux figures 9, 10, 11, mais sans la platine, montrant une variante de réalisation selon laquelle, c'est l'embase (9) qui comprend la tige filetée (8'a) et le sous-ensemble (50) l'écrou (80) correspondant, qui est retenu sur le corps de pivot (5), et qui comprend le filetage de la partie filetée (80a). Figures 13, 14, 15 are views similar to Figures 9, 10, 11, but without the plate, showing an alternative embodiment according to which, it is the base (9) which includes the threaded rod (8'a) and the sub-assembly (50) the corresponding nut (80), which is retained on the pivot body (5), and which includes the thread of the threaded part (80a).

    On ajoutera à ce qui précède que la forme de l'embase (9), a l'avantage de permettre à l'utilisateur, et notamment le monteur, de choisir plusieurs positions d'orientation du corps de pivot (5).We will add to the above that the shape of the base (9), has the advantage of allowing the user, and in particular the fitter, to choose several orientation positions of the pivot body (5).

    Bien entendu, l'invention n'est pas limitée aux modes de réalisation décrits et représentés à titre d'exemples, mais elle comprend aussi tous les équivalents techniques ainsi que leurs combinaisons.Of course, the invention is not limited to the embodiments described and shown as examples, but it also includes all of the technical equivalents and their combinations.
