Definitions

  • the invention relates to the field of snow sports, and more particularly snowboarding. It relates more particularly to arrangements of a surfboard binding, and more specifically to the articulation mechanisms of the tightening straps relative to the base of the binding.
  • the base will be considered as the part of the binding which is rigid, and which comes directly or indirectly in contact with the upper face of the board, which has side portions up along the shoe, and which may optionally include a rear arch on which is usually mounted a gutter.
  • snowboard bindings intended to receive soft shoes therefore comprise a base which is firmly secured to the surfboard, and on which the shoe is held by means of one or more generally two straps. Tightening. These tightening straps are located on the one hand at the level of the foot, and secondly, at the level of the instep. These straps ensure a firm grip of the foot to allow the driving of the board. These straps must have a lateral articulation capacity, to allow movement of the strap to the outside to allow the establishment of the shoe.
  • the straps known to date are frequently made of a flexible and slightly deformable material, as described in document EP 1 491 240 .
  • the Applicant has proposed in the document FR 2,838,979 a solution to this problem in which the straps have a certain rigidity, and comprise a joint consisting of a rigid axis around which the strap can pivot. Returning means ensure a maintenance of the strap in a stable position, thus allowing the introduction of the boot when donning, without the manual intervention of the user.
  • the two straps of the binding form prominent elements that it may be advantageous to fold down on the top of the base, to occupy a smaller volume during transport of the board.
  • the straps generally have an additional point of articulation, allowing pivoting about a transverse axis, to allow the folding of the strap towards the base.
  • the strap has a double joint at its end mounted on the base.
  • a first terminal joint allows pivoting about the transverse axis for folding on the base.
  • a second articulation offset spatially, allows the opening of the strap to the outside. The presence of this double mechanism is a point of weakness, and especially as the straps are generally strongly constrained by a significant tightening.
  • the document W0 96/24412 discloses a fastener having a complex base, the two lateral flanks are articulated relative to the central portion of the base. These flanks are themselves connected to portions acting as a pedal, to automatically fold the straps on the foot when the user shoes fastener.
  • the object of the invention is to propose an alternative solution to this architecture, with the aim of allowing this double articulation movement by means of a simple and compact mechanism.
  • the invention therefore relates to snowboard binding.
  • This attachment comprises in known manner a base on which is mounted a clamping strap of the foot, and more precisely on the front part of the foot, or the instep.
  • This strap has a movement capacity around a transverse axis, to allow the folding of the strap towards the base.
  • at least a portion of the strap has a pivoting capacity relative to the base, to allow the movement of the strap to the outside, during the donning maneuvers.
  • this part of the strap is connected to the base by means of a mechanism which is articulated with respect to the base around an axis substantially perpendicular to the median longitudinal plane of the binding, to allow the movement of this part of the strap to the outside.
  • This mechanism also comprises a pivot joint with the relevant portion of the strap, to allow the pivoting of this portion of the strap in a folding movement towards the base.
  • the axis of pivoting of the mechanism relative to the base is concurrent with the axis of pivoting of the portion of the mobile strap relative to the characteristic mechanism.
  • the attachment according to the invention includes a strap which is directly articulated relative to the base to allow the opening of the strap by pivoting outwards. This articulation is extended by a second articulation pivoting allowing the folding of the strap on the base.
  • the invention consists in gathering within the same mechanism the two pivot joints.
  • the pivot axis of the strap for its folding movement on the base which is therefore substantially transverse to the binding, passes in the direct vicinity, or even crosses the pivot axis of the strap allowing the opening of the latter.
  • the mechanism may comprise return means at its articulation on the base, so as to force the strap to remain in the open position.
  • the characteristic mechanism may comprise a spring acting on the hinge mounted directly on the base, so as to maintain the strap in an open or stable position.
  • the mechanism may comprise means for limiting the amplitude of its movement in articulation relative to the base.
  • the characteristic mechanism prevents too much opening of the strap to the outside, and this so that the strap does not tilt in a fully folded position on the board when it is open, but, on the contrary, it remains easily manipulated.
  • this amplitude limitation can be obtained by a protruding portion, secured to the end of the strap, and which comes into contact to abut on the base when the strap reaches its maximum open position.
  • the mechanism according to the invention may comprise means for forcing its hinge movement relative to the base, and cause the folding of the strap towards the foot, under the effect of the descent of the shoe to the base.
  • the attachment comprises a mechanism that automatically closes the strap on the foot when the shoe is introduced into the binding, as described in the document WO 96/24412 .
  • these means for forcing the articulation movement of the mechanism may comprise a lever, secured to the end of the strap at its hinge, and extending towards the inside of the base.
  • the strap may comprise a telescopic device, connected to the hinge mechanism, allowing the adjustment of the length of the strap, the size and size of the shoe.
  • the characteristic mechanism may also comprise means for limiting the pivoting movement of the strap towards the front towards the rear.
  • the characteristic mechanism can be provided to allow the full folding of the strap forward, but on the contrary prevent the strap can be folded backwards in order to facilitate the introduction of the strap in boot position.
  • the attachment (1) mainly comprises a base (2), comprising a lower part (3), side flanks (4) and a bow (5).
  • the lower part (3) is intended to come into contact with the board, and is laterally extended by portions (4) up along the side flanks of the shoe.
  • the two portions (4) receive the rear arch (5) surrounding the heel, and supporting a hinged gutter (6).
  • the binding (1) comprises a strap (10) intended to ensure the tightening of the shoe by fixing at the instep.
  • a strap 10 intended to ensure the tightening of the shoe by fixing at the instep.
  • the invention is not limited only to the strap cooperating with the instep, but also covers the front straps not shown.
  • the strap (10) has a central portion forming a padded cushion (11).
  • This cushion (11) is connected to a telescopic device (12) ensuring the connection with the rigid part of the strap.
  • This rigid part has two arms (13) connected to the characteristic mechanism (20) allowing the articulation of the strap (10) relative to the arch (5).
  • the telescopic device (12) has under its internal face three grooves (13, 14, 15) capable of receiving a transverse rod (17) in three positions.
  • the piece (12) is itself secured to the central part or cushion (11) of the strap (10) by a slip system not shown, and which allows when it is detached to arrange the transverse rod (17) in the appropriate throat (13-15).
  • the transverse rod (17) is connected to the characteristic mechanism (20) by means of two parallel longitudinal rods (18), forming a loop mounted in a hood (23) formed at the end of the strap (11), and connected to the characteristic mechanism (20).
  • openings (36) are intended to receive an axis (40) to allow the rotational movement of the yoke (30) relative to said axis (40).
  • This axis (40) has recesses (41) at each of its ends to be installed at a mounting zone (50) on the base. More specifically, this zone (50) has a recess (51) allowing the tabs (36) of the screed to be put in place.
  • This housing (51) is delimited by portions of the wall (52) of the base which are engaged in the recesses (41) of the axis (40).
  • a pin system or screwing can be provided to pass through holes (53, 43) present on the base and the axis (40).
  • the axis (40) can also be derived from molding with the base, and receive the intermediate clevis snap.
  • This mechanism (20) has two concurrent axes of rotation, namely a first axis (7) allowing the articulation of the strap from the inside to the outside (and vice versa), and a second axis (8) allowing the rotation of the strap from front to back (and vice versa).
  • a return spring (56) can be provided on the shaft (40) to be inserted between the tabs (36) of the yoke (30). This spring (56) cooperates on the one hand, on the portion (31) of the yoke (30), and on the other hand, on the outer face of the base, in the mounting zone (50), so forcing the yoke (30) to pivot about the axis (40), in one direction of the opening of the strap to the outside, according to the arrow E.
  • the mechanism comprises a lever (60) having a bore (61) for receiving the axis (40) when it is placed between the tabs (36) of the yoke (30).
  • a face (62) of this lever is intended to come into contact with the portion (31) of the yoke (30) to pivot with the latter.
  • the lever (60) has a portion (63) arranged to receive the contact of the shoe of the user, and in particular the side face of the shoe when it is introduced into the binding.
  • This lever (60) is preferably made of flexible material. Indeed, this lever must be long enough to be effective with shoes of lesser width, but must not interfere with the fitting of larger shoes. In this case, the lever is retracted by elastic deformation along the sides of the base.
  • the figure 4 illustrates another characteristic of the invention, resulting from a particular portion of the hood (23).
  • the cover (23) has a protruding portion (28), disposed opposite the rest of the strap, and a face (29) is configured to come into contact with the outer face of the base when the strap is open. This prevents the strap from pivoting too strongly outwards, and does not come to rest on the upper face of the board.
  • the figure 4 also illustrates the grooves (24) molded in the hood (23). These grooves are intended to receive the longitudinal rods (18) at the end of which is fixed the transverse rod (17) of the telescopic mechanism for adjusting the length of the strap.
  • the arms (26) of the cover (23) stiffen the bending (18) in bending, for more efficient opening of the articulation system.
  • the cover (23) After mounting cover (23) on the characteristic yoke (30), the cover (23) is pivoted about the axis of the cylinder (28), not visible at the figure 4 , present on the outer face of the portion (31) of the yoke.
  • a lug (32) is disposed on the circumference of the circular portion of the portion (31), to abut with shoulders (21,22) formed on the cover (23). The rotational movement of the cover relative to the yoke is limited in its amplitude, to prevent the strap from pivoting too strongly rearward, when it comes into contact with the shoulder (22).
  • the shoulder (21) is made in a position where it allows the pivoting of its strap forward until it can come into contact with the binding or the board.
  • the figure 6 illustrates the end of the strap mounted including the clevis (30) on the axis (40), the return spring (56), except the lever (60), but integrating the longitudinal rods (18) and the part (12) on which the padded part (11) of the strap is attached. It is therefore found that the yoke can pivot about the axis (40) which is fixed to it relative to the base. This articulation thus allows the opening movement of the strap to allow the introduction of the foot, then the closure of the strap when it is then folded on the shoe.
  • the cover (23) pivots with respect to its mounting axis (8) on the yoke (30), this axis (8) being in the forms represented, concurant with the axis of revolution (7) of the axis (40) integral with the base. All of these two movements of articulation is ensured by means of a unique and compact mechanism.
  • a unique and compact mechanism can be used for the front and rear straps indifferently. It can be used on one and / or the other side of the strap. So, it can be used as illustrated in the figure 7 , for mounting the portion of the strap which comprises the rack (70) intended to cooperate for clamping with the pawl mechanism present on the other portion of the strap.
  • the characteristic mechanism is reduced to the axis (40) and the yoke (30), insofar as the articulated end of the rack plays the role of the cover (23) described above.
  • Such a device therefore has the advantage of gathering at a very localized area the two movements of the joint allowing on the one hand, the opening of the strap, and on the other hand, its folding on the base during transport.
