Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a device for retaining a shoe on a sporting article and relates more particularly to a enhancement of a strap retainer, or the like.
  • the invention is more specifically intended to retain a shoe on a pivoting plate for holding a shoe on a snowshoe, but it can be used for any type of snowshoe sport without departing from the scope of the invention, as example for a fixing for the practice of surfing, skiing, or other.
  • Snowshoes are gear known since very many years because used for centuries by the Scandinavian populations to move on the snow. Until our days, snowshoes were used for utilitarian or military purposes, to allow people and alpine troops to move on the snow in their movements necessitated by everyday life. Currently, snowshoes are used by walkers or sportsmen who go on hikes and walks, even competitions.
  • the devices for retaining the shoes of the users on the Known snowshoes most often include means of front retainer and rear retainer arranged on a plate articulated on the sieve. These devices of the prior art exhibit generally a good hold of the front end of the shoe on the plate, but nevertheless have disadvantages in the holding of the back end of the shoe. Indeed, if the means of restraint before snowshoes are usually provided to be able to adapt to any type of shoe while ensuring a good performance of the front of the foot, the rear retaining means, they do not present such characteristics.
  • the current straps are constituted by a textile strap comprising a length adjustment loop in order to adapt it to the dimension of the user's shoe and ensure effective tightening without play, especially at the level of the kick.
  • Textile straps are now often replaced by a rigid or semi-rigid strap made of a plastic material.
  • These straps are constituted by two portions interconnected by locking means of the type such as for example a ratchet device intended to cooperate in incrementation with a succession of teeth made on the other portion of the strap.
  • locking means allow to adapt the length of the strap to the volume of the shoe, including the kick perimeter, but also to ensure a correct tightening to have a satisfactory restraint of the shoe.
  • these straps do not allow to adapt to larger and at the smallest sizes and usually include presets with screws, which requires tooling and takes time
  • the present invention seeks to overcome the disadvantages of traditional systems through simple, reliable, inexpensive easy to implement in order to obtain a satisfactory performance of the shoe, a quick preset, as well as a simple set-up and convenient.
  • the retaining strap comprises first means or means for presetting the length of the strap and second means or means for final adjustment of the length of strap, tightening and locking ensuring the final adjustment of the length of the strap.
  • first means or presetting means are independent of the second means or final adjustment means.
  • a snowshoe according to the invention is constituted by a strap of restraint, and is characterized in that the strap comprises first means or means for presetting the length of the strap and second means or means for final adjustment of the strap length, tightening and locking mechanism ensuring the final adjustment of the length of the strap, the latter being independent of the presetting means, while that the kick strap is constituted by a main strap and a secondary strap.
  • the main strap comprises the second means or means for final adjustment of the strap length of tightening and locking ensuring the final adjustment of the length of the strap, while it is constituted by two portions of connected strap between them by locking means of the type comprising by example pivoting ratchet pivotally mounted on one of the portions of strap, intended to cooperate in incrementation with a succession of retaining teeth made on the other portion of the strap.
  • the main strap is made of semi-rigid material as for example plastic, and that the first portion main strap is connected to the secondary strap, while the other portion or second portion of the main strap is connected to the rear restraint.
  • the secondary strap comprises in combination with the main strap to which it is connected first adjusting means or means for presetting the length of the strap, said link being constituted by an adjustable link formed by a adjusting loop while said secondary strap is connected by its free end to the retainer, and that its other end is engaged in the adjustment loop, the latter being integral or constituting the end of the first portion of the main strap.
  • the secondary strap is a flexible textile strap, see in flexible plastic
  • the device of the invention makes it possible to have a precise adjustment and allows a release of the shoe very greatly favored, which in case of blockage of the final adjustment system for example in case of frost or snow accumulation is an undeniable advantage.
  • Figures 1 and 2 are respectively views, on the one hand, of above the snowshoe equipped with the restraint according to the invention, for FIG. 1, and on the other side, for FIG. same racket, FIG. 1 being shown without the boot for a Better comprehension.
  • Figure 3 is a perspective view illustrating the invention better.
  • Figure 4 is a perspective view, showing the racket with its swivel plate equipped with the shoe retainer according to the invention.
  • the racket designated by the general reference (1) is in the form of a perforated plate of general plane of symmetry (P), fixed under the shoe and which consists of a main frame (2) and a sieve (4) comprising a set of walls supporting the retainer (5) of the shoe (6) of the user, as shown in Figures 1 and 2.
  • P general plane of symmetry
  • Said sieve (4) with its set of internal walls forms a general lower surface of support on the snow allowing the user not to sink too much in the snow, thanks to the bearing surface relatively important.
  • the retaining device (5) of the shoe (6) is, according to the illustration given by way of example, articulated by compared to the sieve (4) of the racket itself, along an axis transverse (XX ').
  • the retainer bearing the general reference (5) is advantageously constituted by an articulated plate (9) comprising retaining means for the boot, namely, retaining means front (10) and rear retaining means (11).
  • the front end (12) of the shoe retained by the front retaining means (10) is, for example, constituted by a stirrup before (13), while its rear end (14) is, thanks to one of rear retaining means (11) comprising a rear retaining piece (15).
  • the rear retaining means (11) comprise a clamping device for clamping and thus fixing, and the lateral and vertical restraint of the rear end (14) of the shoe (6) against or inside a forward-facing housing formed by a set of walls of the rear retaining piece (15).
  • the invention is not limited to a system whose front of the shoe is retained by a stirrup, because the invention can be applied to a fixation of a any other kind.
  • the rear retaining piece (15) is mounted sliding and adjustable in position on the plate (9) and comprises a wall interlocking (150) heel, and it is against this wall that is retained heel of the shoe thanks to the device of the invention.
  • the shoe is retained in the rear retaining piece (15) thanks to a strap (21) known as a kick strap.
  • a strap (21) known as a kick strap.
  • the retaining strap (21) comprises first means or means for presetting the length of the strap (R1), and second means or means for final adjustment of the strap length, tightening and locking mechanism ensuring the final adjustment of the length of the strap (R2), the latter being independent of the presetting means.
  • the kick strap (21) is constituted by a strap main (21a) and a secondary strap (21b).
  • the main strap (21a) comprises the second means (R2) or means for final adjustment of the length of the tightening strap and locking ensuring the final adjustment of the length of the strap.
  • This main strap (21a) is constituted by two portions of strap (210, 211) interconnected by locking means of type comprising for example with pivoting ratchet (22) pivotally mounted on one of the portions strap (211, or 210) for incrementally cooperating with a succession of retaining teeth (23) made on the other portion of strap (210, or 211).
  • locking means make it possible to adapt the length of the strap to the volume of the shoe, to ensure a tightening correct to have a satisfactory restraint of the shoe.
  • the main strap (21a) is made of semi-rigid material as for example plastic.
  • the first portion of strap (211) is connected to the secondary strap (21b), while the other portion (210) or second portion of main strap is connected to the workpiece rear retainer (15).
  • the secondary strap (21b) comprises in combination with the main strap to which it is connected the first means of adjustment (R1), or means for presetting the length of the strap.
  • connection of the secondary strap (21b) with, for example, the first portion of the main strap (211) is constituted by a connection adjustable formed by an adjusting loop (24).
  • this secondary strap (21b) is connected by its free end to the retaining piece (15), and more particularly to its nesting wall (150), while its other end is engaged in the adjustment loop (24), the latter being integral or constituting the end of the first portion (211) of the main strap.
  • the user will operate a presetting length by the first adjustment means or presetting means (R1), to adapt the binding to the size of the shoe and center the main strap (21a) on the kick, and at each he will only have to use the second means or means of final adjustment (R2) of the tightening and locking strap length to ensure the final adjustment of the length of the strap, allowing the restraint of the shoe.
