The mechanism is hinged relative to the base around a pivoting axis (7) parallel to the longitudinal middle plane of the binding, in order to move the part outwards when soft boots are fitted. The mechanism has a pivoting axis (8) to pivot the part in a folding movement toward the base.

Description

Domaine techniqueTechnical area

L'invention se rattache au domaine des sports de glisse, et plus particulièrement du surf des neiges. Elle concerne plus particulièrement des agencements d'une fixation de surf, et plus spécifiquement des mécanismes d'articulation des sangles de serrage par rapport à l'embase de la fixation. Dans la suite de la description, l'embase sera considérée comme la partie de la fixation qui est rigide, et qui vient directement ou indirectement en contact de la face supérieure de la planche, qui comporte des portions latérales remontant le long de la chaussure, et qui peut éventuellement inclure un arceau arrière sur lequel est généralement montée une gouttière.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. In the following description, 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.

Techniques antérieuresPrevious techniques

De façon générale, les fixations de surf des neiges destinées à recevoir des chaussures souples comportent donc une embase qui est fermement solidarisée à la planche de surf, et sur laquelle est maintenue la chaussure par l'intermédiaire d'une ou plus généralement deux sangles de serrage. Ces sangles de serrage sont situées d'une part au niveau du pied, et d'autre part, au niveau du cou de pied. Ces sangles assurent un serrage ferme du pied pour permettre la conduite de la planche. Ces sangles doivent présenter une capacité d'articulation latérale, pour permettre un mouvement de la sangle vers l'extérieur afin d'autoriser la mise en place de la chaussure.In general, 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.

Les sangles connues à ce jour sont fréquemment réalisées en un matériau souple et légèrement déformable, comme décrit dans le document EP 1 491 240 .The straps known to date are frequently made of a flexible and slightly deformable material, as described in document EP 1 491 240 .

C'est par la déformation d'une portion de la sangle que le mouvement d'articulation est ainsi obtenu. On conçoit toutefois que la rigidité nécessaire à la partie de la sangle s'oppose à une articulation libre de la sangle, et que cette dernière a donc tendance à revenir naturellement en position fermée au-dessus de l'embase. Ceci peut gêner l'utilisateur pour les opérations de chaussage, puisqu'il est nécessaire d'intervenir manuellement pour écarter la sangle du dessus de l'embase.It is by the deformation of a portion of the strap that the movement of articulation is thus obtained. However, it is understood that the rigidity required for the part of the strap is opposed to a free articulation of the strap, and that the latter therefore tends to naturally return to the closed position above the base. This can impede the user for the donning operations, since is necessary to intervene manually to spread the strap of the top of the base.

Le Demandeur a proposé dans le document FR 2 838 979 une solution à ce problème dans lequel les sangles présentent une certaine rigidité, et comportent une articulation constituée d'un axe rigide autour duquel peut pivoter la sangle. Des moyens de rappel assurent un maintien de la sangle dans une position stable, permettant ainsi l'introduction de la chaussure lors du chaussage, sans l'intervention manuelle de l'utilisateur.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.

Par ailleurs, les deux sangles de la fixation forment des éléments proéminents qu'il est peut-être avantageux de rabattre sur le dessus de l'embase, pour occuper un volume moindre lors du transport de la planche. Pour ce faire, les sangles possèdent généralement un point d'articulation supplémentaire, autorisant le pivotement autour d'un axe transversal, afin de permettre le rabattement de la sangle en direction de l'embase.Moreover, 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. To do this, 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.

Ainsi, dans les documents FR 2 838 979 et US 6 679 515 , la sangle comporte une double articulation à son extrémité montée sur l'embase. Une première articulation terminale permet le pivotement autour de l'axe transversal en vue du rabattement sur l'embase. Une seconde articulation décalée spatialement, permet l'ouverture de la sangle vers l'extérieur. La présence de ce double mécanisme constitue un point de fragilité, et ce d'autant plus que les sangles sont généralement fortement contraintes par un serrage important.Thus, in the documents FR 2,838,979 and US 6,679,515 , 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.

Le document W0 96/24412 décrit une fixation possédant une embase complexe, dont les deux flancs latéraux sont articulés par rapport à la partie centrale de l'embase. Ces flancs sont eux-mêmes reliés à des portions jouant le rôle de pédale, pour rabattre automatiquement les sangles sur le pied lorsque l'utilisateur chausse la fixation.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.

L'objectif de l'invention est de proposer une solution alternative à cette architecture, avec pour but de permettre ce double mouvement d'articulation au moyen d'un mécanisme simple et compacte.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.

Exposé de l'inventionPresentation of the invention

L'invention concerne donc une fixation de surf des neiges. Cette fixation comporte de façon connue une embase sur laquelle est montée une sangle de serrage du pied, et plus précisément sur la partie avant du pied, soit du cou de pied.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.

Cette sangle présente une capacité de mouvement autour d'un axe transversal, afin de permettre le rabattement de la sangle en direction de l'embase. Complémentairement, au moins une partie de la sangle possède une capacité de pivotement par rapport à l'embase, pour permettre le mouvement de la sangle vers l'extérieur, pendant les manoeuvres de chaussage.This strap has a movement capacity around a transverse axis, to allow the folding of the strap towards the base. Complementarily, 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.

Conformément à l'invention, cette partie de la sangle est reliée à l'embase par l'intermédiaire d'un mécanisme qui est articulé par rapport à l'embase autour d'un axe sensiblement perpendiculaire au plan longitudinal médian de la fixation, de manière à autoriser le mouvement de cette partie de la sangle vers l'extérieur. Ce mécanisme comporte également une articulation pivot avec la partie concernée de la sangle, pour autoriser le pivotement de cette partie de la sangle selon un mouvement de rabattement en direction de l'embase. Avantageusement, pour améliorer la compacité de l'ensemble, l'axe de pivotement du mécanisme par rapport à l'embase est concourant à l'axe de pivotement de la partie de la sangle mobile par rapport au mécanisme caractéristique.According to the invention, 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. Advantageously, to improve the compactness of the assembly, 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.

Autrement dit, la fixation conforme à l'invention inclut une sangle qui est directement articulée par rapport à l'embase pour autoriser l'ouverture de la sangle par un pivotement vers l'extérieur. Cette articulation se prolonge par une seconde articulation en pivotement permettant le rabattement de la sangle sur l'embase. En d'autres termes, l'invention consiste à rassembler au sein d'un même mécanisme les deux articulations de pivotement. Ainsi, contrairement aux dispositifs existants, et notamment ceux décrits dans les documents US 6 679 515 et FR 2 838 979 , c'est l'intégralité de la sangle selon l'invention qui est articulée en pivotement par l'extérieur. On obtient ainsi une double articulation plus compacte, et donc moins fragile et moins encombrante. En effet, l'axe de pivotement de la sangle pour son mouvement de rabattement sur l'embase, qui est donc sensiblement transversal à la fixation, passe à proximité directe, voire même traverse l'axe de pivotement de la sangle en permettant l'ouverture de cette dernière.In other words, 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. In other words, the invention consists in gathering within the same mechanism the two pivot joints. Thus, unlike existing devices, and particularly those described in the documents US 6,679,515 and FR 2,838,979 it is the entirety of the strap according to the invention which is pivotally articulated from the outside. This gives a double joint more compact, and therefore less fragile and less cumbersome. Indeed, 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.

Avantageusement, le mécanisme peut comporter des moyens de rappel au niveau de son articulation sur l'embase, de manière à forcer la sangle à rester en position ouverte. Autrement dit, le mécanisme caractéristique peut comporter un ressort qui agit sur l'articulation montée directement sur l'embase, de manière à maintenir la sangle dans une position ouverte ou stable.Advantageously, the mechanism may comprise return means at its articulation on the base, so as to force the strap to remain in the open position. In other words, 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.

Selon une autre caractéristique de l'invention, le mécanisme peut comporter des moyens pour limiter l'amplitude de son mouvement en articulation par rapport à l'embase. Autrement dit, le mécanisme caractéristique empêche l'ouverture trop importante de la sangle vers l'extérieur, et cela afin que la sangle ne bascule pas dans une position totalement rabattue sur la planche lorsqu'elle est ouverte, mais, qu'au contraire, elle reste facilement manipulable.According to another characteristic of the invention, the mechanism may comprise means for limiting the amplitude of its movement in articulation relative to the base. In other words, 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.

En pratique, cette limitation d'amplitude peut être obtenue par une portion en excroissance, solidaire de l'extrémité de la sangle, et qui vient au contact pour buter sur l'embase lorsque la sangle atteint sa position d'ouverture maximale.In practice, 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.

Complémentairement, le mécanisme conforme à l'invention peut comporter des moyens pour forcer son mouvement d'articulation par rapport à l'embase, et provoquer le rabattement de la sangle en direction du pied, sous l'effet de la descente de la chaussure vers l'embase.Complementarily, 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.

Autrement dit, la fixation comporte un mécanisme qui referme automatiquement la sangle sur le pied lorsque la chaussure est introduite dans la fixation, à l'instar de ce qui est décrit dans le document WO 96/24412 .In other words, 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 .

En pratique, ces moyens pour forcer le mouvement d'articulation du mécanisme peuvent comporter un levier, solidaire de l'extrémité de la sangle au niveau de son articulation, et qui s'étend en direction de l'intérieur de l'embase.In practice, 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.

Selon une autre caractéristique de l'invention, la sangle peut comporter un dispositif télescopique, relié au mécanisme d'articulation, permettant le réglage de la longueur de la sangle, à la pointure et à la taille de la chaussure.According to another characteristic of the invention, 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.

Complémentairement, le mécanisme caractéristique peut également comporter des moyens de limitation du mouvement d'articulation pivot de la sangle vers l'avant vers l'arrière. Autrement dit, le mécanisme caractéristique peut être prévu pour autoriser le rabattement complet de la sangle vers l'avant, mais au contraire empêcher que la sangle ne puisse être rabattue vers l'arrière dans le but de faciliter la mise en place de la sangle en position de chaussage.Complementarily, the characteristic mechanism may also comprise means for limiting the pivoting movement of the strap towards the front towards the rear. In other words, 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.

Selon un mode de construction particulier, le mécanisme peut comporter :

  • ■ un axe d'articulation solidaire de l'embase,
  • ■ et une chape intermédiaire, comportant deux pattes montées sur cet axe d'articulation et une partie centrale comportant une portion formant l'axe de pivotement sur lequel est montée la sangle.
  • ■ un capot monté avec capacité de pivotement sur la chape intermédiaire, ce capot étant solidaire du reste de la sangle.
According to a particular mode of construction, the mechanism may comprise:
  • A hinge pin secured to the base,
  • And an intermediate clevis, comprising two lugs mounted on this hinge pin and a central portion having a portion forming the pivot axis on which is mounted the strap.
  • ■ A hood mounted with pivoting capacity on the intermediate yoke, this cover being secured to the rest of the strap.

Manière de réaliser l'inventionWay of realizing the invention

Comme illustré à la figure 1, la fixation (1) comprend principalement une embase (2), comportant une partie basse (3), des flancs latéraux (4) et un arceau (5). La partie basse (3) est destinée à venir au contact de la planche, et se prolonge latéralement par des portions (4) remontant le long des flancs latéraux de la chaussure. Les deux portions (4) reçoivent vers l'arrière l'arceau (5) entourant le talon, et supportant une gouttière articulée (6).As illustrated in figure 1 , 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).

Conformément à l'invention, la fixation (1) comporte une sangle (10) destinée à assurer le serrage de la chaussure par la fixation au niveau du cou de pied. Bien entendu, l'invention ne se limite pas uniquement à la sangle coopérant avec le cou de pied, mais couvre également les sangles avant non représentées.According to the invention, the binding (1) comprises a strap (10) intended to ensure the tightening of the shoe by fixing at the instep. Of course, the invention is not limited only to the strap cooperating with the instep, but also covers the front straps not shown.

Cette sangle (10) comporte une partie centrale formant un coussin rembourré de serrage (11). Ce coussin (11) est relié à un dispositif télescopique (12) assurant la liaison avec la partie rigide de la sangle. Cette partie rigide comporte deux bras (13) reliés au mécanisme caractéristique (20) permettant l'articulation de la sangle (10) par rapport à l'arceau (5).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).

Ainsi, comme illustré à la figure 2, le dispositif télescopique (12) comporte sous sa face interne trois gorges (13, 14 ,15) susceptibles d'accueillir une tige transversale (17) selon trois positions. La pièce (12) est elle-même solidarisée à la partie centrale ou coussin (11) de la sangle (10) par un système de glissage non représenté, et qui permet lorsqu'il est désolidarisé de disposer la tige transversale (17) dans la gorge (13-15) appropriée.Thus, as illustrated in figure 2 , 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).

La tige transversale (17) est reliée au mécanisme caractéristique (20) par l'intermédiaire de deux tiges longitudinales parallèles (18), formant une boucle montée dans un capot (23) formée à l'extrémité de la sangle (11), et reliée au mécanisme caractéristique (20).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).

La construction de ce mécanisme apparaît plus clairement à la figure 3 dans laquelle on retrouve la pièce (12) recevant la tige transversale (17) montée à l'extrémité des tiges longitudinales (18) reliées en U insérées à l'intérieur d'une gorge (24) du capot (23). Ce capot (23) comporte en son centre une ouverture (25) recevant du côté extérieur la vis (27), et du côté intérieur le cylindre fileté (28) de la chape (30). La vis (27) maintient le capot (23) solidaire de la chape (30), tandis que le capot (23) peut tourner en rotation autour du cylindre (28) de la chape (30). La portion (31) de la chape (30) reçoit sur sa face interne deux pattes (35) parallèles l'une à l'autre, et percées chacune d'une ouverture (36).The construction of this mechanism appears more clearly in figure 3 in which there is the piece (12) receiving the transverse rod (17) mounted at the end of the longitudinal rods (18) U-connected inserted inside a groove (24) of the cover (23). This cover (23) has in its center an opening (25) receiving the outer side of the screw (27), and the inner side the threaded cylinder (28) of the yoke (30). The screw (27) holds the cover (23) integral with the yoke (30), while the cover (23) can rotate around the cylinder (28) of the yoke (30). The portion (31) of the yoke (30) receives on its inner face two lugs (35) parallel to each other, and each pierced by an opening (36).

Ces ouvertures (36) sont destinées à recevoir un axe (40) pour permettre le mouvement en rotation de la chape (30) par rapport audit axe (40). Cet axe (40) présente des évidements (41) à chacune de ses extrémités afin d'être installé au niveau d'une zone (50) de montage sur l'embase. Plus précisément, cette zone (50) comporte un évidement (51) permettant une mise en place des pattes (36) de la chape. Ce logement (51) est délimité par des portions de la paroi (52) de l'embase qui s'emmanchent dans les évidements (41) de l'axe (40). Un système de goupille ou de vissage peut être prévu pour traverser des perçages (53, 43) présents sur l'embase et l'axe (40). L'axe (40) peut également être issu de moulage avec l'embase, et recevoir la chape intermédiaire par encliquetage.
Ce mécanisme (20) présente deux axes de rotation concourants, à savoir un premier axe (7) permettant l'articulation de la sangle de l'intérieur vers l'extérieur (et vice versa), et un second axe (8) permettant la rotation de la sangle de l'avant vers l'arrière (et vice versa).These 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).

Un ressort de rappel (56) peut être prévu sur l'axe (40), pour être inséré entre les pattes (36) de la chape (30). Ce ressort (56) coopère d'une part, sur la portion (31) de la chape (30), et d'autre part, sur la face extérieure de l'embase, dans la zone de montage (50), de manière à forcer la chape (30) à pivoter autour de l'axe (40), dans un sens de l'ouverture de la sangle vers l'extérieur, selon la flèche E.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.

Complémentairement, le mécanisme comporte un levier (60) présentant un perçage (61) destiné à recevoir l'axe (40) lorsqu'il est mis en place entre les pattes (36) de la chape (30). Une face (62) de ce levier est destinée à venir au contact de la portion (31) de la chape (30) pour pivoter avec cette dernière. Le levier (60) présente une portion (63) agencée pour recevoir le contact de la chaussure de l'utilisateur, et en particulier la face latérale de la chaussure, lorsqu'elle est introduite dans la fixation.Complementarily, 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.

Ce levier (60) est réalisé de préférence en matériau souple. En effet, ce levier doit être suffisamment long pour être efficace avec des chaussures de moindre largeur, mais ne doit pas gêner au chaussage des chaussures plus larges. Dans ce cas, le levier s'escamote par déformation élastique le long des cotés de l'embase.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.

La figure 4 illustre une autre caractéristique de l'invention, résultant d'une portion particulière du capot (23). Ainsi, le capot (23) possède une portion en excroissance (28), disposée à l'opposé du reste de la sangle, et dont une face (29) est configurée pour venir au contact de la face extérieure de l'embase lorsque la sangle est ouverte. On évite ainsi que la sangle ne pivote trop fortement vers l'extérieur, et ne vienne reposer sur la face supérieure de la planche.The figure 4 illustrates another characteristic of the invention, resulting from a particular portion of the hood (23). Thus, 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.

La figure 4 illustre également les gorges (24) moulées dans le capot (23). Ces gorges sont destinées à recevoir les tiges longitudinales (18) à l'extrémité desquelles est fixée la tige transversale (17) du mécanisme télescopique de réglage de la longueur de la sangle. Les bras (26) du capot (23) permettent de rigidifier en la flexion les tiges (18), pour plus d'efficacité d'ouverture du système d'articulation.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.

Après montage due capot (23) sur la chape caractéristique (30), le capot (23) vient pivoter autour de l'axe du cylindre (28), non visible à la figure 4, présent sur la face extérieure de la portion (31) de la chape. Un ergot (32) est disposé sur la circonférence de la partie circulaire de la portion (31), pour venir en butée avec des épaulements (21,22) formés sur le capot (23). Le mouvement de rotation du capot par rapport à la chape est donc limité dans son amplitude, pour éviter que la sangle ne pivote trop fortement vers l'arrière, lorsqu'elle vient donc au contact de l'épaulement (22).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).

En revanche, l'épaulement (21) est réalisé dans une position où il autorise le pivotement de sa sangle vers l'avant jusqu'à ce qu'elle puisse venir au contact de la fixation ou de la planche.In contrast, 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.

La figure 6 illustre l'extrémité de la sangle montée en incluant la chape (30) sur l'axe (40), le ressort de rappel (56), à l'exception du levier (60), mais intégrant les tiges longitudinales (18) et la pièce (12) sur laquelle est fixée la partie rembourrée (11) de la sangle. On constate donc que la chape peut pivoter autour de l'axe (40) qui est lui fixe par rapport à l'embase. Cette articulation permet donc le mouvement d'ouverture de la sangle pour permettre l'introduction du pied, puis la fermeture de la sangle lorsque celle-ci est ensuite rabattue sur la chaussure.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.

Complémentairement, le capot (23) pivote par rapport à son axe de montage (8) sur la chape (30), cet axe (8) étant dans les formes représentées, concourant avec l'axe de révolution (7) de l'axe (40) solidaire de l'embase. L'ensemble de ces deux mouvements d'articulation est donc assuré par l'intermédiaire d'un mécanisme unique et compact. Bien entendu, un tel mécanisme peut être utilisé pour les sangles avant et arrière de manière indifférente. Il peut être utilisé sur l'un et/ou l'autre côté de la sangle. Ainsi, il peut être utilisé comme illustré à la figure 7, pour le montage de la partie de la sangle qui comporte la crémaillère (70) destinée à coopérer en vue du serrage avec le mécanisme de cliquet présent sur l'autre portion de la sangle. Dans ce cas, le mécanisme caractéristique se réduit à l'axe (40) et la chape (30), dans la mesure où l'extrémité articulée de la crémaillère joue le rôle du capot (23) précédemment décrit.Complementarily, 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. Of course, such a 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. In this case, 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.

Un tel dispositif présente donc l'avantage de rassembler au niveau d'une zone très localisée les deux mouvements de l'articulation permettant d'une part, l'ouverture de la sangle, et d'autre part, son rabattement sur l'embase lors du transport.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.
