Definitions

  • the invention relates to the field of devices for supporting a shoe on a machine. sports, and more particularly relates to a device which allows rear supports with the lower leg.
  • Such devices can be used for the practice of snowboarding or snowboarding, skiing on snow or water, snowshoeing, roller skating, or other.
  • a device generally comprises means for supporting the shoe, for example retaining means, and a rear support element. This last allows a user to take supports with the back of the lower leg.
  • the rear support element longitudinally follows the lower leg between one end of attachment and a free end, and extends transversely between a lateral edge and an edge medial.
  • the rear support element has a support face opposite a free face, the support face being intended to receive the rear of the user's lower leg.
  • the element rear support When a rear leg support is substantially centered between the edges, the element rear support does not deform or deforms slightly towards the rear. So the information sensory related to driving pass through the device with little or no losses. The user can therefore drive the machine with precision.
  • the object of the invention is in particular to remove, or at least greatly reduce, the discomfort proven in driving by the user during rear presses at an edge of the element support.
  • the invention provides a device for supporting a shoe on a sport, the device comprising a seat associated with a rear support element, the element rear support extending longitudinally between a fastening end and an end free, and transversely between a lateral edge and a medial edge.
  • the device according to the invention is characterized in that it comprises a reinforcement means which reinforces the rear support element in torsion along a longitudinal axis of the support element back.
  • the reinforcing means opposes torsional deformations, along a longitudinal axis, of the rear support element. Torsional deformations are reduced or even prevented. he follows that during a rear support offset towards an edge, the rear support element deforms much less. This is particularly true towards the junction of the edge and the end free of the rear support element.
  • a support device 1 allows support on a plate 2 of a shoe not shown. According to the first example, the support device 1 also allows the removable retention of the shoe.
  • the support device 1 comprises a seat 3 which extends longitudinally between a rear end 4 and a front end 5.
  • the seat 3 has an upper face 6 designed to be opposite the sole of the shoe, and a lower face 7 intended to be above the board.
  • the seat 3 is retained on the board 2 by a means represented in the form of a disc 10, itself retained in plate 2 by screws 11.
  • the seat 3 is bordered laterally by a lateral flange 12 and a medial flange 13.
  • Each flanges 12, 13 respectively form a lateral or medial part of the device 1 for delimit a reception area 14 of the shoe.
  • the flanges 12, 13 run along the sole laterally.
  • it could be provided for something other than the flanges 12, 13 to form the lateral and medial parts.
  • simple lateral and medial stops could be suitable.
  • the flanges 12, 13 are connected by a hoop 15 at the rear end 4. From preferably, the seat 3, the flanges 12, 13 and the arch 15 form a single piece made for example in synthetic material. However, it could be expected that the flanges or the arch are parts secured to the base by any other means, such as gluing, welding, screwing, interlocking, or other.
  • a retaining means is also provided for removably retaining the boot on the seat 3, between the flanges 12, 13, in the reception area 14.
  • the retaining means comprises links, according to a non-limiting technique.
  • a first link 20 is located towards the front, at the level of the metatarsophalangeal joint when the foot is retained.
  • a second link 21 is located towards the rear, at the instep when the foot is retained.
  • Each of the links 20, 21 extends transversely between the flanges 12, 13. Of course, a different number of links could be provided.
  • the links 20 can each be tight, loose, or even open.
  • the device 1 also includes a rear support element 24, so that the user can take back support with the lower leg.
  • the rear support element 24 comprises a curved plate 25 which extends longitudinally between a fastening end 26 and a free end 27, transversely between a lateral edge 28 and a medial edge 29, and in thickness between a bearing face 30 and a free face 31.
  • the bearing face 30 is provided for receiving the rear of the lower leg of the user, the rear support element 24 and the seat 3 being associated accordingly.
  • the association results in the fact that the element rear support 24 is secured to the flanges 12, 13, for example by means of a hinge 32.
  • the latter is oriented substantially along a transverse axis 33 of the device 1.
  • the joint 32 may include any component such as a screw, a rivet, a washer, a nut, pin, or whatever.
  • the articulation 32 allows a movement of approximation of the rear support element 24 towards the seat 3.
  • An advantage which results from this is to facilitate storage.
  • the rear support element is secured to the flanges 12, 13 without the possibility of movement.
  • rear support element 24 could also be secured to the arch 15 or to the seat 3. Or it could be provided that the rear support element 24 is secured directly to the machine, in this case board 2. Just position it on the machine to allow the rear supports with the lower leg.
  • a stop 34 limits the rearward rotation of the eponymous support element 24.
  • the stop 34 comprises at least one part projecting from the free face 31.
  • the stop 34 is secured to the rear support element 24, fixedly or adjustable, by any means known to those skilled in the art.
  • the stop 34 can form with the support element 24 a single piece.
  • the stop 34 operates by resting on the hoop 15. It can nevertheless be expected that it works differently, for example by resting on machine 2. In all cases the stop 34 allows the user to press backwards with the lower leg, limiting rotation towards the rear of the support element.
  • the stop could be made otherwise, for example from a cable. In this case this the latter can be attached to the flanges 12, 13 and bypass the rear support element 24.
  • a reinforcement means reinforces the rear support element 24 in torsion, according to a longitudinal axis L of the rear support element.
  • the reinforcement means comprises a first elongate reinforcement 40 of width less than the width of the plate 25 of the rear support element 24.
  • the first reinforcement 40 extends substantially from the lateral edge 28 to the medial edge 29.
  • a first end 41 of the reinforcement 40 is closer to the attachment end 26 of the rear support element 24, while a second end 42 of the reinforcement 40 is closer to the free end 27 of the element support 24.
  • first reinforcement 40 is oriented obliquely with respect to the length and the width of the rear support element 24. This orientation allows it to oppose the deformations in torsion, along the longitudinal axis L, of the rear support element 24. Consequently when the user presses backwards at the second end 42 of the first reinforcement 40, the rear support element 24 deforms little or not at all.
  • the first reinforcement 40 is oriented along a diagonal of the rear support element 24.
  • a diagonal resembles a line which passes substantially through the junction of the attachment end 26 with one of the lateral edges 28 and medial 29, and by the junction of the free end 27 with the other of the lateral 28 and medial edges 29.
  • This orientation of the reinforcement 40, substantially along a diagonal of the support element rear 24, allows maximum increase in torsional strength. Indeed, the torsional stresses are oriented along the length of the reinforcement 40.
  • the first reinforcement 40 is produced in the form of a rib, in projecting from the free face 31. On this side of the rear support element 24, the rib does not does not interfere with the support of the lower leg.
  • the first reinforcement 40 forms with the plate 25 of the rear support element 24 a single piece.
  • the reinforcement 40 is an insert by any means such as bonding, welding, snap-fastening, interlocking, over-injection, bi-injection, or other.
  • the reinforcing means comprises a second elongated reinforcement 50 of width less than the width of the element rear support 24.
  • the second reinforcement 50 also extends from the lateral edge 28 to the medial edge 29.
  • a first end 51 of the reinforcement 50 is closer to the attachment end 26 of the rear support element 24, while a second end 52 of the reinforcement 50 is closer of the free end 27 of the support element 24.
  • the second reinforcement 50 is oriented obliquely by relative to the length and width of the rear support element 24.
  • the second reinforcement 50 is oriented along a diagonal of the support element rear 24.
  • the second reinforcement 50 is also made, without limitation, under the shape of a rib projecting from the free face 31.
  • the two reinforcements 40, 50 are each arranged along a diagonal of the support element rear 24. Therefore, the reinforcing means has the general appearance of an X.
  • the use of two reinforcements 40, 50 gives the rear support element 24 greater resistance to deformation on both sides, i.e. both towards the lateral edge 28 and towards the edge medial 29.
  • the sensory information related to driving passes in the same way at the lateral edge 28 or the medial edge 29.
  • the reinforcements 40, 50 each have a substantially constant width and thickness.
  • the width can be understood between 5 and 50 mm, the thickness between 1 and 10 mm.
  • the width and the thickness varies along each of the reinforcements 40, 50.
  • the materials used to make the rear support element 24 with the reinforcements 40, 50 are plastics, armed or not. However, provision may be made to use metal, or any other suitable material.
  • the second example is shown in FIG. 3.
  • the rear support element 60 of a device support comprises a plate 61.
  • the latter extends longitudinally from one end of attachment 62 to a free end 63, transversely from a lateral edge 64 to a medial edge 65, and in thickness between a bearing face 66 and a free face 67.
  • the reinforcing means comprises a first elongated reinforcement 70 which extends substantially from the lateral edge 64 to the medial edge 65.
  • a first end 71 of the reinforcement 70 is closer to the attachment end 62 of the rear support element 60, while that a second end 72 of the reinforcement 70 is closer to the free end 63 of the element 60.
  • the first reinforcement 70 is oriented obliquely relative to the length of the plate 61 of the rear support element 60.
  • the first end 71 of the reinforcement 70 is located towards the junction of the attachment end 62 with the lateral edge 64.
  • the second end 72 of the reinforcement 70 is situated towards the medial edge 65, set back with respect to the free end 63 of the support element 60.
  • the reinforcement means comprises a second elongate reinforcement 80 which extends substantially from the medial edge 65 to the lateral edge 64.
  • a first end 81 of the reinforcement 80 is closer to the attachment end 62 of the rear support element 60, while a second end 82 of the reinforcement 80 is closer to the free end 63 of the element 60.
  • the second reinforcement 80 is oriented obliquely relative to the length of the plate 61 of the rear support element 60.
  • the first end 81 of the reinforcement 80 is located towards the junction of the attachment end 62 with the medial edge 65.
  • the second end 82 of the reinforcement 80 is situated towards the lateral edge 64, set back with respect to the free end 63 of the support element 60.
  • the reinforcing means has the general appearance of an X, the top of which is set back from the free end 63.
  • This structure of the reinforcing means allows moderate reinforcement of the rear support element 60. The latter deforms relatively little, during rear supports, but however more than in the case where the reinforcements join the free end of the element rear support. The advantage is to preserve an ability to dampen pulses which pass through the rear support element.
  • the third example is shown in FIG. 4.
  • the rear support element 90 of a device support comprises a plate 91.
  • the latter extends longitudinally from one end of attachment 92 to a free end 93, transversely from a lateral edge 94 to a medial edge 95, and in thickness between a bearing face 96 and a free face 97.
  • the reinforcing means comprises a first elongated reinforcement 100, which is unique.
  • the reinforcement 100 is oriented obliquely along a first diagonal of the element rear support 90.
  • the reinforcement 100 has a first end 101 located towards the junction of the attachment end 92 with the lateral edge 94, and a second end 102 located towards the junction of the free end 93 with the medial edge 95.
  • This arrangement reinforces the rear support element 90 in torsion along a longitudinal axis, with a preponderance on the medial side.
  • the second end 102 of the reinforcement 100 joins the free end 93 towards the medial edge 95.
  • the deformations of the support element 90 are less on the medial side than on the lateral side. This allows to differentiate the nature of the rear supports on the lateral side and on the medial side.
  • the fourth example is shown in FIGS. 5 and 6.
  • the rear support element 110 of a support device comprises a plate 111, which has a fastening end 112, a free end 113, a lateral edge 114, a medial edge 115, a bearing face 116, and a free face 117.
  • the reinforcing means comprises a first 120 and a second 121 reinforcements each arranged along a diagonal of the plate 111 of the rear support element 110.
  • the reinforcements 120, 121 may be strips, made from metal or materials synthetic, the latter comprising or not comprising composite fibers.
  • the fifth example is shown in Figure 7. It is similar to the fourth, except that reinforcements 130, 131 are flush with a support face 132 of a plate 133 of a support element rear 134.
  • the sixth example is shown in Figure 8. It is similar to the fourth and fifth examples, except that reinforcements 140, 141 are embedded in the plate 142 of the element rear support 143.
  • the invention is made from materials and according to implementation techniques known to those skilled in the art.
  • transverse asymmetries may be provided in the arrangement of the reinforcements, section variations within the same reinforcement, several reinforcements of dimensions different or different materials, or whatever.
