Description

La présente invention a pour objet une embase de fixation de ski réglable longitudinalement, comprenant un rail destiné à être fixé sur un ski, une rangée de dents s'étendant parallèlement à l'axe du rail, une plaque, destinée à porter un élément de fixation de ski, montée coulissante sur le rail et portant un verrou déplaçable transversalement au rail et muni de dents destinées à venir s'engager sélectivement dans les dents de la rangée de dents pour immobiliser la plaque sur le rail dans une position sélectionnée, un levier d'entraínement du verrou monté pivotant sur la face inférieure de la plaque et des moyens de maintien du verrou en position verrouillée comprenant un sabot relié au levier par une biellette formant genouillère avec le levier, de telle sorte qu'en position verrouillée, le sabot est pressé contre un appui et le levier est maintenu en position de verrouillage.The present invention relates to a ski binding base longitudinally adjustable, comprising a rail intended to be fixed on a ski, a row of teeth extending parallel to the axis of the rail, a plate, intended to carry a ski binding element, mounted sliding on the rail and carrying a movable lock transversely to the rail and provided with teeth intended to engage selectively in the teeth of the row of teeth to immobilize the plate on the rail in a selected position, a lever for driving the pivotally mounted lock on the underside of the plate and means for holding the lock in the locked position comprising a shoe connected to the lever by a connecting rod knee lever with lever, so that in the locked position the shoe is pressed against a support and the lever is held in position lock.

Une telle embase de fixation est connue du brevet FR 2 739 572 (US 5 794 962). Dans cette exécution, le rail et la rangée de dents sont formés dans une tôle emboutie, les dents étant formées par découpage et repoussage de la tôle dans une zone comprise entre l'un des bords et le milieu du rail, la plaque supportant l'élément de fixation venant recouvrir les bords du rail. En outre, le profil des dents du rail et du verrou s'étend horizontalement, c'est-à-dire parallèlement au plan de l'embase. L'épaisseur des dents est donc limitée par l'épaisseur de la tôle et la hauteur disponible à l'intérieur de l'embase. Pour offrir une résistance suffisante à la poussée sur la plaque, les dents sont relativement larges et le verrou ne comporte que deux dents. La finesse du réglage est donc limitée. Le verrou est en outre poussé par un ressort dans sa position de verrouillage. Une augmentation de la finesse du réglage ne peut se faire sans risquer d'affaiblir par trop les dentures.Such a mounting base is known from patent FR 2 739 572 (US 5,794,962). In this version, the rail and the row of teeth are formed in a stamped sheet, the teeth being formed by cutting and pushing the sheet in an area between one of the edges and the middle of the rail, the plate supporting the fastening element coming cover the edges of the rail. In addition, the profile of the teeth of the rail and bolt extends horizontally, i.e. parallel to the plane of the base. The thickness of the teeth is therefore limited by the thickness of the sheet and height available inside the base. To offer a sufficient resistance to thrust on the plate, the teeth are relatively wide and the lock has only two teeth. The fine adjustment is therefore limited. The lock is further pushed by a spring in its locked position. An increase in fine adjustment cannot be done without risking unduly weakening the toothings.

Du brevet US 5 732 968, on connaít par ailleurs une embase réglable comportant un rail présentant une denture verticale grossière et une plaque coulissante munie d'un verrou à deux dents poussé transversalement en position de verrouillage par un ressort et déverrouillable au moyen d'un levier-came monté sur le côté de l'embase. Du fait de la conception des moyens des verrouillage, la course du verrou est relativement très courte et il en est donc de même de la longueur des dents mesurée transversalement au rail. Par conséquent, il n'est pas possible de réduire le pas du réglage, c'est-à-dire la dimension des dents, sans affaiblir par trop le dispositif.From US patent 5,732,968, we also know an adjustable base comprising a rail having a coarse vertical toothing and a sliding plate fitted with a pushed two-tooth lock transversely in the locking position by a spring and unlockable by means of a cam lever mounted on the side of the base. Due to the design of the locking means, the bolt stroke is relatively very short and so it is the same the length of the teeth measured transversely to the rail. Through therefore, it is not possible to reduce the adjustment step, i.e. the size of the teeth, without weakening the device too much.

Du brevet US 6 065 895, on connaít une embase de fixation de ski comportant une plaque coulissante munie d'une denture transversale oblique coopérant avec une pièce de verrouillage munie d'une denture correspondante et déplaçable transversalement au ski dans une fenêtre rectangulaire. Cette construction permet certes d'effectuer un réglage fin, mais seulement dans une petite plage, c'est-à-dire aux alentours d'une fixation arrière. Une telle embase ne se prête par conséquent pas à un réglage rapide comme cela est demandé pour la location, en particulier.From US patent 6,065,895, there is known a ski binding base comprising a sliding plate provided with transverse teeth oblique cooperating with a locking piece provided with a toothing corresponding and movable transversely to the ski in a window rectangular. This construction certainly allows for adjustment fine, but only in a small beach, i.e. around a rear attachment. Such a base is therefore not suitable not a quick setting as required for rental, in particular.

L'invention a pour but d'augmenter sensiblement la finesse de réglage sans fragiliser le verrouillage, c'est-à-dire sans réduire la capacité de charge des dents.The invention aims to significantly increase the fineness of adjustment without weakening the lock, i.e. without reducing the load bearing capacity of the teeth.

A cet effet, l'embase selon l'invention est caractérisée en ce que le profil des dents de la rangée de dents et du verrou est orienté perpendiculairement au plan de la plaque, que les dents du rail s'étendent transversalement au rail en occupant au moins la majeure partie de la moitié de la largeur du rail à partir d'un bord du rail, que le verrou comporte un nombre de dents sensiblement supérieur à deux, et que le verrou est déplaçable au moins approximativement d'un côté à l'autre du rail.To this end, the base according to the invention is characterized in that the tooth profile of the row of teeth and the latch is oriented perpendicular to the plane of the plate, that the teeth of the rail extend transversely to the rail occupying at least the major part of half the width of the rail from one edge of the rail, that the lock has a number of teeth substantially greater than two, and the lock is movable at least approximately across the rail.

La longueur du verrou mesurée transversalement au rail est de préférence sensiblement égale à la largeur de la rangée de dents.The length of the lock measured transversely to the rail is preferably substantially equal to the width of the row of teeth.

Lorsque le verrou est engagé dans les dents de la rangée de dents, la poussée des dents du verrou sur les dents de la rangée de dents, résultant de la poussée de la chaussure sur l'élément de fixation porté par la plaque, se répartit sur plusieurs dents, de préférence sur une longueur de dents sensiblement égale à la moitié de la largeur du rail, ce qui a pour effet de réduire la pression spécifique sur les dents.When the latch is engaged in the teeth of the row of teeth, the thrust of the latch teeth on the teeth of the row of teeth, resulting from the thrust of the shoe on the worn fastening element by the plate, is distributed over several teeth, preferably on a length of teeth substantially equal to half the width of the rail, which has the effect of reducing the specific pressure on the teeth.

Pour passer de la position verrouillée à la position déverrouillée, il est nécessaire que le verrou puisse se déplacer d'une distance sensiblement égale à la largeur du rail. Ceci a été rendu possible en supprimant le ressort que l'on trouve dans les dispositifs de l'art antérieur.To move from the locked position to the unlocked position, it is necessary that the lock can move a distance substantially equal to the width of the rail. This was made possible by removing the spring found in art devices prior.

Il est ainsi possible d'obtenir un pas de réglage inférieur à 3 millimètres, par exemple 2,5 mm.It is thus possible to obtain an adjustment step of less than 3 millimeters, for example 2.5 mm.

La rangée de dents est avantageusement formée sur une plaque fixée sur le rail ou déplaçable relativement au rail.The row of teeth is advantageously formed on a fixed plate on the rail or movable relative to the rail.

Le verrou et la plaque portant la rangée de dents sont avantageusement réalisés en matière synthétique moulée, telle qu'un polyamide armé de fibres de verre.The lock and the plate carrying the row of teeth are advantageously made of molded synthetic material, such as a polyamide reinforced with glass fibers.

L'embase peut être conçue pour supporter un élément de fixation de ski, par exemple un élément de fixation avant ou faire partie d'un ensemble supportant les éléments de fixation avant et arrière avec possibilité d'un déplacement symétrique tel que décrit dans les brevets FR 2 673 847 et 2 771 941 ou dans le brevet DE 41 35 899. The base can be designed to support a fixing element of ski, for example a front binding element or be part of a assembly supporting the front and rear fixing elements with possibility of symmetrical displacement as described in patents FR 2 673 847 and 2 771 941 or in patent DE 41 35 899.

  • La figure 1 représente partiellement une pièce de base 1 destinée à être fixée sur un ski. Sur cette pièce de base 1 est fixé un rail métallique 2 en forme de glissière au bords relevés et coudés à l'extérieur de manière connue. La plaque 3 représentée aux figures 2 à 5 est montée coulissante sur le rail 2.FIG. 1 partially represents a basic part 1 intended for be attached to a ski. On this basic part 1 is fixed a rail metallic 2 in the form of a slide with raised and bent edges the exterior in a known manner. The plate 3 shown in Figures 2 to 5 is slidably mounted on the rail 2.

    A l'intérieur du rail 2, guidée par un bord 4 de la pièce de base 1, est montée une plaque dentée 5 de largeur sensiblement égale à la moitié de l'espace intérieur du rail 2 et munie d'une denture transversale à l'axe du rail 2. Cette plaque dentée est en matière synthétique moulée, par exemple en polyamide armé de fibres de verre. La plaque dentée 5 est solidaire d'une première crémaillère 9 reliée par un prolongement 10 au support (non représenté) de l'élément de fixation arrière. La crémaillère 9 engrène, de manière connue, avec un pignon central 8 d'axe vertical engrenant du côté opposé avec une seconde crémaillère 7 munie d'un bras 6 relié à la plaque 3 supportant l'élément de fixation avant. L'ensemble constitue une embase à réglage symétrique de l'écartement des éléments de fixation avant et arrière. Cette application n'est donnée qu'à titre d'exemple.Inside the rail 2, guided by an edge 4 of the base part 1, is mounted a toothed plate 5 of width substantially equal to half of the interior space of the rail 2 and provided with transverse teeth to the axis of the rail 2. This toothed plate is made of molded synthetic material, for example in polyamide reinforced with glass fibers. Toothed plate 5 is integral with a first rack 9 connected by an extension 10 to the support (not shown) of the rear fixing element. The rack 9 meshes, in known manner, with a central pinion 8 vertical axis meshing on the opposite side with a second rack 7 provided with an arm 6 connected to the plate 3 supporting the element of front fixing. The assembly constitutes a base with symmetrical adjustment the spacing of the front and rear fasteners. This application is given only as an example.

    Sur la face inférieure de la plaque 3 est monté un verrou 11 constitué d'une plaquette rectangulaire munie d'une denture 12 analogue et correspondant à la denture de la plaque 5 et s'étendant, comme elle, transversalement au rail 2, c'est-à-dire à l'axe longitudinal 13 de la plaque 3. Le verrou 11 est guidé dans une creusure 14 de la plaque 3 et il présente, sur sa face supérieure, deux dégagements 15 pour deux zones 16 et 17 d'épaisseur initiale de la plaque 3 destinées à recevoir des vis de fixation de l'élément de fixation de ski. Le verrou 11 comporte douze dents dans l'exemple représenté et sa largeur, mesurée dans le sens transversal à la plaque 3, est sensiblement égale à la moitié de la largeur intérieure du rail 2. Le verrou 11 peut se déplacer d'une extrémité à l'autre de la creusure 14. Dans l'exemple représenté, le pas des dentures est égal à 2,5 mm. On the underside of the plate 3 is mounted a lock 11 constituted a rectangular plate provided with a similar toothing 12 and corresponding to the teeth of plate 5 and extending, like it, transverse to rail 2, i.e. to the longitudinal axis 13 of the plate 3. The lock 11 is guided in a recess 14 in the plate 3 and it has, on its upper face, two clearances 15 for two zones 16 and 17 of initial thickness of the plate 3 intended to receive fixing screws of the ski binding element. The lock 11 has twelve teeth in the example shown and its width, measured in the transverse direction to the plate 3, is substantially equal at half the interior width of the rail 2. The lock 11 can be move from one end to the other of the recess 14. In the example shown, the pitch of the teeth is equal to 2.5 mm.

    Les déplacements du verrou 11 s'opèrent au moyen d'un levier 18 monté rotativement sur un pivot 19. Ce levier 18 est muni d'une extrémité arrondie 20 engagée dans le verrou 11 pour l'entraínement de ce verrou. L'autre bras du levier 18 présente une partie coudée 18a encastrée dans une pièce 21 en matière synthétique formant poignée d'actionnement du levier 18. Cette poignée 21 présente elle-même une gorge 22 en arc de cercle coopérant avec une partie de forme conjuguée 23 de la plaque 3 pour son guidage.The movements of the lock 11 are effected by means of a lever 18 rotatably mounted on a pivot 19. This lever 18 is provided with a rounded end 20 engaged in the lock 11 for the drive of this lock. The other arm of the lever 18 has a bent portion 18a embedded in a piece 21 of synthetic material forming a handle actuating the lever 18. This handle 21 itself has a groove 22 in an arc of a circle cooperating with a form part conjugate 23 of the plate 3 for its guidance.

    Le levier 18 est en outre muni d'une biellette 24 articulée sur le levier 18 autour d'un axe 25 et munie d'un sabot 26 articulé sur la biellette autour d'un axe 27 et logé dans un logement 28 de la plaque 3 dans lequel il est guidé par un côté 29 perpendiculaire à l'axe 13 et un côté 30 oblique relativement à cet axe.The lever 18 is further provided with a link 24 articulated on the lever 18 around an axis 25 and provided with a shoe 26 articulated on the link around an axis 27 and housed in a housing 28 of the plate 3 in which it is guided by a side 29 perpendicular to the axis 13 and a side 30 oblique to this axis.

    L'embase est représentée en position verrouillée. Comme on peut le voir à la figure 1, le verrou 11 est totalement sur la plaque dentée 5, c'est-à-dire entièrement situé dans la moitié de la largeur du rail 2, avec sa denture totalement engagée dans la denture de la plaque 5. Dans cette position, l'extrémité 20 du levier exerce une poussée sur le verrou de manière à appuyer ce verrou contre l'extrémité de la creusure 14, tandis que le sabot 26 est pressé, en sens opposé, contre les côtés de son logement 28. La genouillère formée par le levier 18 et la biellette 24 est dimensionnée de telle manière qu'une pression est maintenue, d'une part, sur le verrou et, d'autre part, sur le sabot 26, l'axe 25 étant situé à droite de la droite reliant les axes 19 et 27, c'est-à-dire du côté du verrou 11.The base is shown in the locked position. As we can see in FIG. 1, the latch 11 is completely on the toothed plate 5, that is to say entirely located in half the width of the rail 2, with its teeth fully engaged in the teeth of the plate 5. In this position, the end 20 of the lever pushes on the lock so as to press this lock against the end of the recess 14, while shoe 26 is pressed, in opposite direction, against the sides of its housing 28. The toggle formed by the lever 18 and the rod 24 is dimensioned so that pressure is held, on the one hand, on the bolt and, on the other hand, on the shoe 26, axis 25 being located to the right of the right connecting axes 19 and 27, that is to say on the lock side 11.

    Le déverrouillage s'opère par la poignée 21. Le verrou 11 est déplacé de manière à être situé entièrement dans l'autre moitié de la largeur intérieure du rail 2.The unlocking takes place by the handle 21. The lock 11 is moved so as to be located entirely in the other half of the width inside of rail 2.

    Dans le cas d'une embase sans réglage symétrique, la plaque dentée 5 serait fixée sur le rail.In the case of a base without symmetrical adjustment, the toothed plate 5 would be fixed on the rail.

    Le rail et la denture pourraient être en une seule pièce.The rail and the teeth could be in one piece.
