Abstract

The boot fixing assembly, comprising front and rear clamps that are released when subjected to forces greater than those applied by their springs, has a supplementary release mechanism that is electronically controlled and equipped with an electric motor (17). The electric motor only initiates the clamp release movement, which is completed by the forces to which the front and rear clamps are subjected. One of the two clamps is mounted on a slider, and the supplementary release mechanism has a bar (10) that is moved lengthwise between open and closed positions by an actuator (14) in the electronic mechanism.

Description

La présente invention concerne un dispositif de fixation d'une chaussure sur un ski comportant un élément de retenue avant déclenchable et un élément de retenue arrière déclenchable, et comportant en outre des moyens d'ouverture supplémentaires de la fixation commandée électroniquement.The present invention relates to a device for attaching a boot to a ski comprising a releasable front retaining element and a releasable rear retaining element, and further comprising additional opening means of the electronically controlled fastener.

Le document WO 95/12440 décrit un tel dispositif. Dans ce document, le dispositif comprend un élément de retenue avant déclenchable, un élément de retenue arrière déclenchable et des moyens d'ouverture supplémentaires. Les éléments de retenue avant et arrière sont des éléments de fixation mécanique classique, butée avant et talonnière arrière, qui libèrent la chaussure lorsque celle-ci est soumise à des contraintes supérieures à un seuil donné. Le seuil de contrainte correspond à la valeur de précontrainte auxquels sont soumis des ressorts placés dans la butée et la talonnière.The document WO 95/12440 describes such a device. In this document, the device comprises a detachable front retaining element, a triggerable rear retaining element and additional opening means. The front and rear retaining elements are conventional mechanical fastening elements, front stop and rear heel, which release the shoe when it is subjected to stresses greater than a given threshold. The stress threshold corresponds to the prestressing value to which springs placed in the abutment and the heel piece are subjected.

Les moyens d'ouverture supplémentaires sont constitués par un loquet commandé électroniquement qui libère la chaussure en permettant la libre translation de la talonnière arrière dans une glissière. Le loquet est animé d'un mouvement de translation vertical. En position normale de repos il est maintenu en position basse par la force d'un ressort tandis que la position haute est générée par la mise sous pression d'une chambre annulaire entourant ledit loquet.The additional opening means are constituted by an electronically controlled latch which releases the shoe allowing the free translation of the rear heel in a slide. The latch is animated by a vertical translation movement. In the normal rest position it is held in the down position by the force of a spring while the high position is generated by pressurizing an annular chamber surrounding said latch.

Lors de la pratique du ski, mais également dans d'autres conditions, les chocs auxquels sont soumis les engins de glisse, c'est-à-dire les skis et les fixations, peuvent être très importants, par exemple lors des réceptions de sauts, de passage dans les bosses, de chute de matériel alors qu'il est entreposé, voire de dépose de matériel au sol. Avec un moyen de déclenchement à translation, le risque existe que celui-ci bouge intempestivement et, dans certains cas génère une libération intempestive de la chaussure alors que celle-ci n'est pas souhaitable.During the practice of skiing, but also in other conditions, the shocks to which the gliding machines, that is to say the skis and the bindings, are subjected, can be very important, for example during the jumping receptions. , passing through the bumps, falling equipment while it is stored, or even removal of equipment on the ground. With a translational triggering means, the risk exists that it moves unexpectedly and, in some cases generates an untimely release of the shoe while it is undesirable.

Le brevet EP 968 742 décrit également un dispositif similaire dans lequel les moyens de déclenchement supplémentaires comprennent un verrou commandé par un électro-aimant. Bien que le verrou soit articulé autour d'un axe et qu'il décrive un mouvement qui s'inscrit dans un cercle. On ne peut pas véritablement parler de mouvement rotatif dans la mesure où le mouvement de la portion du verrou qui est active dans le blocage, c'est-à-dire celle qui retient effectivement la platine, a un mouvement assimilable à une portion de droite. En fait le verrou a un mouvement d'articulation autour de son axe dont l'amplitude est largement inférieure à un quart de tour. Un tel verrou est quasiment identique à un verrou à déclenchement par translation et il sera également soumis au risque de déclenchement intempestif.The patent EP 968 742 also discloses a similar device wherein the additional triggering means comprises a latch controlled by an electromagnet. Although the latch is articulated around an axis and it describes a movement that fits into a circle. We can not truly speak of a rotary movement insofar as the movement of the portion of the latch that is active in the blockage, that is to say the one that actually holds the plate, has a movement comparable to a portion of the right . In fact the latch has a hinge movement about its axis whose amplitude is much less than a quarter of a turn. Such a lock is almost identical to a latch release by translation and it will also be subject to the risk of inadvertent tripping.

Le document FR 2 853 254 décrit un dispositif de fixation traditionnel comportant des moyens de détachement radiocommandé piloté par des boutons placés sur les bâtons. Comme dans le dispositif décrit dans le document WO 95/12440 , les moyens de détachement radiocommandé n'assurent qu'une sécurité relative. En effet la commande de ces moyens nécessite, d'une part, que le skieur soit conscient, et attentif et qu'il prenne la bonne décision au bon moment et d'autre part, qu'il ait encore à la main la poignée de ses bâtons de ski. Il ne s'agit, en fait, pas d'un déclenchement supplémentaire de sécurité, lequel nécessite un actionnement rapide voire immédiat. En outre, la vitesse du déclenchement est assujettie à la vitesse de rotation du moteur. De plus, pour pouvoir déplacer l'élément de fixation, le moteur doit être actif tout au long du mouvement ce qui occasionne une consommation importante d'énergie.The document FR 2,853,254 describes a traditional fastening device comprising radio-controlled detachment means controlled by buttons placed on the sticks. As in the device described in the document WO 95/12440 , the means of detachment radio controlled only provide relative safety. Indeed, the control of these means requires, on the one hand, that the skier is aware, and attentive and that he takes the right decision at the right time and on the other hand, that he still has in hand the handle of his ski poles. It is not, in fact, an additional safety trigger, which requires a quick or immediate operation. In addition, the speed of the trip is subject to the speed of rotation of the engine. In addition, in order to move the fastener element, the motor must be active throughout the movement which causes a significant consumption of energy.

L'invention a pour objet de fournir un dispositif de fixation d'une chaussure sur un ski comportant un élément de retenue avant déclenchable et un élément de retenue arrière déclenchable, et comportant en outre des moyens d'ouverture supplémentaires de la fixation commandé électroniquement, dont le fonctionnement est plus stable.The object of the invention is to provide a device for attaching a boot to a ski comprising a trigger-engaging retaining element and a triggerable rear retaining element, and further comprising additional means of opening the electronically controlled fastener, whose operation is more stable.

Un moyen d'actionnement rotatif est moins soumis qu'un moyen de déclenchement translatif au déclenchement intempestifThe object of the invention is achieved by the provision of a fastening assembly of a boot on a ski comprising a front retaining retainer element when the forces to which said front retaining element is subjected are greater than the prestressing value. a first spring, a rear retaining element triggerable when the forces to which said rear retaining element is subjected are greater than the prestressing value of a second spring, and an additional electronically controllable triggering device characterized in that said device additional triggering means comprises a rotary actuating means.

De préférence le moteur électrique initie seulement le mouvement de déclenchement, la fin du mouvement de déclenchement étant généré par les efforts auxquels sont soumis ledit dispositif de retenue avant, respectivement ledit dispositif de retenue arrière. Dans la première phase du mouvement de déclenchement, le moteur est générateur du mouvement, dans la deuxième phase du mouvement, ce sont les efforts qui s'exercent sur le dispositif de retenue avant et sur le dispositif de retenue arrière qui le génèrent. Le moteur électrique subit la rotation.Preferably the electric motor initiates only the triggering movement, the end of the triggering movement being generated by the forces to which said front retainer and said rear retainer are subjected.

L'élément de retenue avant 2 est constitué par une butée avant classique à déclenchement mécanique, c'est-à-dire que l'élément de retenue avant 2 se déclenche lorsque les efforts auxquels il est soumis sont supérieurs à la valeur de précontrainte d'un premier ressort qui est placé dans l'élément de retenue avant 2.The front retaining element 2 is constituted by a conventional mechanical triggering front stop, that is to say that the front retaining element 2 is triggered when the forces to which it is subjected are greater than the prestress value d a first spring which is placed in the front retainer 2.

L'élément de retenue arrière 3 est constitué par une talonnière arrière classique à déclenchement mécanique, c'est-à-dire que l'élément de retenue arrière 3 se déclenche lorsque les efforts auxquels il est soumis sont supérieurs à la valeur de précontrainte d'un deuxième ressort qui y est placé.The rear retaining element 3 is constituted by a conventional mechanical mechanical rear heel, that is to say that the rear retaining element 3 is triggered when the forces to which it is subjected are greater than the value of prestressing of a second spring which is placed there.

L'élément de retenue avant 2, respectivement l'élément de retenue arrière 3, est fixé sur un élément d'interface avant 5, respectivement un élément d'interface arrière 6, lequel est fixé sur le ski 1. Ces interfaces peuvent être supprimées.The front retaining element 2, respectively the rear retaining element 3, is fixed on a front interface element 5, respectively a rear interface element 6, which is fixed on the ski 1. These interfaces can be removed. .

Dans la configuration décrite ici, lorsque la jambe du skieur est soumise à des efforts orientés dans le plan horizontal du ski, y compris des efforts de torsion autour d'un axe vertical, c'est l'élément de retenue avant 2 qui déclenche et libère la chaussure. Lorsque la jambe du skieur est soumise à des efforts orientés dans un plan vertical, c'est l'élément de retenue arrière qui déclenche.In the configuration described here, when the skier's leg is subjected to forces oriented in the horizontal plane of the ski, including twisting forces around a vertical axis, it is the front retention element 2 which triggers and release the shoe. When the skier's leg is subjected to forces oriented in a vertical plane, it is the rear retaining element that triggers.

Bien entendu, cette configuration n'est pas limitative et toute configuration d'élément de retenue à déclenchement mécanique est envisageable.Of course, this configuration is not limiting and any configuration of retaining element mechanical trigger is possible.

L'élément de retenue arrière 3 comprend une glissière 7 dans laquelle le corps de l'élément de retenue arrière 3 peut coulisser.The rear retaining element 3 comprises a slideway 7 in which the body of the rear retaining element 3 can slide.

Le dispositif de déclenchement supplémentaire 4 comprend un boîtier actionneur 8, un boîtier de commande 9 et un capteur avant 11, respectivement arrière 12, placés dans l'élément d'interface avant 5, respectivement l'élément d'interface arrière 6.The additional trigger device 4 comprises an actuator box 8, a control unit 9 and a front sensor 11, respectively rear 12, placed in the front interface element 5, respectively the rear interface element 6.

Le boîtier de commande 9 comprend un circuit électronique et un dispositif d'interface homme/machine incluant un afficheur.The control box 9 comprises an electronic circuit and a man / machine interface device including a display.

Le boîtier actionneur 8 est relié au corps de l'élément de retenue arrière par une tringle 10 susceptible de se déplacer longitudinalement en entraînant le corps de l'élément de retenue arrière 3, lequel coulisse dans la glissière 7.The actuator housing 8 is connected to the body of the rear retaining element by a rod 10 capable of moving longitudinally by driving the body of the rear retaining element 3, which slides in the slideway 7.

Lorsque les capteurs avant 11 ou arrière 12 mesurent un effort dépassant un certain seuil, le circuit électronique du boîtier de commande génère un ordre d'actionnement de la tringle 10, laquelle éloigne le corps de l'élément de retenue arrière de l'élément de retenue avant 5, ce qui libère la chaussure.When the front 11 or rear 12 sensors measure a force exceeding a certain threshold, the electronic circuit of the control box generates an order of actuation of the rod 10, which moves the body away from the rear retaining element of the control element. hold before 5, which frees the shoe.

Les figures 2 et 3 décrivent le boîtier d'actionnement du dispositif d'actionnement en position "fermée" puis en position "ouverte".Figures 2 and 3 describe the actuating box of the actuating device in the "closed" position and then in the "open" position.

Celui-ci comprend un bloc 13 recevant les différentes pièces constituant le boîtier actionneur 8. Le bloc 13 comprend un logement longitudinal dans lequel la tringle 10 peut pénétrer. A la fin de ce logement se trouve un puits vertical recevant un déclencheur 14.This comprises a block 13 receiving the various parts constituting the actuator housing 8. The block 13 comprises a longitudinal housing in which the rod 10 can penetrate. At the end of this housing is a vertical well receiving a trigger 14.

Le déclencheur 14 est un déclencheur rotatif. Sa partie supérieure comprend une encoche 15 et sa partie inférieure comprend une première roue dentée 16.The trigger 14 is a rotary trigger. Its upper part comprises a notch 15 and its lower part comprises a first toothed wheel 16.

Le moyen d'actionnement du dispositif de déclenchement supplémentaire est constitué par un moteur électrique 17 rotatif, dont l'arbre de sortie porte une deuxième roue dentée 18. L'alimentation du moteur se fait grâce à une pile électrique 19.The means for actuating the additional tripping device is constituted by a rotary electric motor 17 whose output shaft carries a second gear wheel 18. The motor is supplied by an electric battery 19.

Un pion cylindrique 21 est fixé à l'extrémité de la tringle 10. En position fermée, ce pion 21 est reçu dans l'encoche 15 du déclencheur 14.A cylindrical pin 21 is fixed to the end of the rod 10. In the closed position, this pin 21 is received in the notch 15 of the trigger 14.

Le dispositif de déclenchement supplémentaire est représenté à la figure 2 en position "fermée". Dans cette position le déclencheur 14 a une position angulaire telle que le pion 21 ne peut s'échapper de l'encoche 15. Lorsqu'on se trouve dans cette disposition, la fixation de la chaussure sur le ski se comporte comme dans le cas d'une fixation classique. C'est-à-dire que la chaussure sera libérée lorsque les contraintes auxquelles elle sera soumise dépasseront les valeurs de précontrainte des ressorts.The additional triggering device is shown in FIG. 2 in the "closed" position. In this position the trigger 14 has an angular position such that the pin 21 can not escape the notch 15. When in this arrangement, the attachment of the boot on the ski behaves as in the case of a classic fixation. That is, the shoe will be released when the stresses to which it will be subjected will exceed the spring prestressing values.

Les capteurs avant 11, capteurs arrière 12 et le boîtier actionneur 8 sont reliés au boîtier de commande 9. A tout moment, les capteurs avant 11 et arrière 12 transmettent au boîtier de commande les contraintes auxquelles ils sont soumis. Le boîtier de commande 9 traite cette information et décide s'il y a lieu de relâcher la chaussure en ouvrant le dispositif de déclenchement supplémentaire 4.The front sensors 11, rear sensors 12 and the actuator box 8 are connected to the control box 9. At all times, the front 11 and rear 12 sensors transmit to the control box the stresses to which they are subjected. The control box 9 processes this information and decides whether to release the boot by opening the additional trigger device 4.

Dès que le boîtier de commande a décidé que la situation nécessite la libération de la chaussure, un ordre est passé au moteur 17, lequel se met en rotation. La rotation de la deuxième roue dentée 18 entraîne la rotation de la première roue dentée 16 avec laquelle elle est en prise. Le déclencheur 14 tourne d'un quart de tour et se retrouve dans la position décrite à la figure 3, c'est-à-dire de telle façon que l'encoche soit ouverte en direction de l'élément de retenue arrière 3. Dans cette position, le pion 21 n'est plus retenu et peut sortir de l'encoche 15. L'élément de retenue arrière 3 est par conséquent libre de coulisser vers l'arrière sous l'effet des efforts s'exerçant sur la chaussure, ce qui la libère.Once the control unit has decided that the situation requires the release of the shoe, an order is passed to the motor 17, which is rotated. Rotation of the second gear 18 causes rotation of the first gear 16 with which it is engaged. The trigger 14 rotates a quarter turn and is found in the position described in Figure 3, that is to say, such that the notch is open towards the rear retaining element 3. In this position, the pin 21 is no longer retained and can come out of the notch 15. The rear retention element 3 is therefore free to slide rearward under the effect of the forces exerted on the shoe, which frees her.

Pour pouvoir rechausser, l'utilisateur doit réarmer le dispositif de déclenchement supplémentaire. Pour ce faire, il fait coulisser l'élément de retenue arrière 3 en direction de l'élément de retenue avant 2. La tringle 10 est également translatée dans cette même direction jusqu'à ce que le pion 21 vienne se loger dans l'encoche 15. Au moment où le pion 21 est dans l'encoche 15, la tringle actionne un contacteur 22 qui se trouve placé latéralement. Le contacteur 22 est à l'origine d'une nouvelle commande de mise en rotation du moteur électrique d'un quart de tour de telle façon que le déclencheur reprenne la position décrite à la figure 2, c'est-à-dire la position "fermée".To be able to retract, the user must reset the additional triggering device. To do this, it slides the rear retaining element 3 towards the front retaining element 2. The rod 10 is also translated in the same direction until the pin 21 comes to be housed in the notch 15. When the pin 21 is in the notch 15, the rod actuates a switch 22 which is placed laterally. The switch 22 is at the origin of a new command for rotating the electric motor a quarter of a turn so that the trigger returns to the position described in FIG. 2, that is to say the position "closed".

Un interrupteur 20 est placé sur le bloc 13 pour pouvoir éteindre le dispositif et neutralise le dispositif de déclenchement supplémentaireA switch 20 is placed on the block 13 to be able to turn off the device and neutralizes the additional trigger device

Les figures 4 et 5 décrivent le boîtier d'actionnement 8 selon un deuxième mode de réalisation de l'invention. Pour des raisons de simplicité, seules les pièces qui se distinguent du premier mode de réalisation seront décrites ici.Figures 4 and 5 describe the actuator housing 8 according to a second embodiment of the invention. For the sake of simplicity, only parts that differ from the first embodiment will be described here.

Le boîtier d'actionnement 8 comprend un bloc 13 qui reçoit les différentes pièces, et notamment un chariot 23 coulissant dans une direction longitudinale. Une platine 24 est montée dans le chariot et peut tourner autour d'un axe principal 28 orienté verticalement. A la base de cette platine 24 se trouve une première roue dentée 16, non visible sur les figures 4 et 5 car elle est cachée par la platine 24 qui a un diamètre plus important.The actuating housing 8 comprises a block 13 which receives the different parts, and in particular a carriage 23 sliding in a longitudinal direction. A plate 24 is mounted in the carriage and is rotatable about a main axis 28 oriented vertically. At the base of this plate 24 is a first gear 16, not visible in Figures 4 and 5 because it is hidden by the plate 24 which has a larger diameter.

Un moteur électrique 17 est également fixé dans le chariot 23. Il comprend sur son arbre de sortie, orienté verticalement, une deuxième roue dentée 18 en prise avec la première roue dentée 16. Le moteur constitue le moyen d'actionnement rotatif de la platine, et on le verra plus loin, du dispositif de déclenchement supplémentaire.An electric motor 17 is also fixed in the carriage 23. It comprises on its output shaft, oriented vertically, a second gear 18 engaged with the first gear wheel 16. The motor is the rotary actuating means of the plate, and will be seen later, the additional trigger device.

Une première biellette 25 est fixée dans une entaille inférieure 26 ménagée dans la platine 24. Cette première biellette 25 est montée rotative par la première de ses extrémités autour d'un premier axe secondaire orienté verticalement 27. La deuxième extrémité de la première biellette 25 est fixée sur le bloc. Par la rotation de la platine 24, le point d'attache de la première extrémité de la biellette 25 se déplace autour de l'axe principal 28 d'une distance égale au double de la distance séparant l'axe principal et le premier axe secondaire 27. Cela a pour effet le coulissement du chariot 23 dans le bloc 13.A first link 25 is fixed in a lower notch 26 formed in the plate 24. This first link 25 is rotatably mounted by the first of its ends around a first vertically oriented secondary axis 27. The second end of the first link 25 is fixed on the block. By the rotation of the plate 24, the point of attachment of the first end of the rod 25 moves around the main axis 28 by a distance equal to twice the distance separating the main axis and the first secondary axis 27. This has the effect of sliding the carriage 23 in the block 13.

La platine comprend également une entaille supérieure 29. La première extrémité d'une deuxième biellette 30 est montée rotative autour d'un deuxième axe secondaire 31 dans cette entaille supérieure 29.The plate also comprises an upper notch 29. The first end of a second link 30 is rotatably mounted about a second secondary axis 31 in this upper slot 29.

Le deuxième axe secondaire 31 est diamétralement opposé au premier axe secondaire 27 par rapport à l'axe principal.The second secondary axis 31 is diametrically opposed to the first secondary axis 27 with respect to the main axis.

La deuxième extrémité de la deuxième biellette 30 est fixée à la tringle 10 (non représentée sur cette figure), laquelle est comme pour le mode de réalisation précédent reliée au corps de l'élément de retenue arrière.The second end of the second link 30 is fixed to the rod 10 (not shown in this figure), which is as for the previous embodiment connected to the body of the rear retaining element.

La rotation de la platine 24, générée par le moteur entraîne le déplacement de la première extrémité de la deuxième biellette d'une distance égale au double de la distance séparant l'axe principal 28 du deuxième axe secondaire 31.The rotation of the plate 24, generated by the motor causes the displacement of the first end of the second rod by a distance equal to twice the distance separating the main axis 28 from the second secondary axis 31.

Le mécanisme représenté à la figure 4, l'est en position "fermée", c'est-à-dire lorsque l'élément de retenue arrière est contre la chaussure de ski. Dans cette position l'axe principal 28, le premier axe secondaire 27 et le deuxième axe secondaire 31 ne sont pas rigoureusement alignés. En effet le deuxième axe secondaire est légèrement au-delà de la position d'équilibre instable qu'il aurait si ces trois axes étaient alignés. Etant donné que l'élément de retenue arrière exerce au travers de la tringle 10 une force de traction sur la deuxième biellette, la platine 24 ne peut rester dans la disposition représentée à la figure 4 que dans la mesure où une butée 32, solidaire de la platine, stoppe la rotation de la platine 24 lorsque celle-ci est au contact de la deuxième biellette 30.The mechanism shown in Figure 4, is in the "closed" position, that is to say when the rear retaining element is against the ski boot. In this position the main axis 28, the first secondary axis 27 and the second secondary axis 31 are not strictly aligned. Indeed the second secondary axis is slightly beyond the unstable equilibrium position it would have if these three axes were aligned. Since the rear retaining element exerts through the rod 10 a traction force on the second rod, the plate 24 can remain in the arrangement shown in Figure 4 only to the extent that a stop 32, integral with the plate, stops the rotation of the plate 24 when it is in contact with the second link 30.

Lorsqu'un ordre de déclenchement est fourni au boîtier d'actionnement par le boîtier de commande, le moyen d'actionnement rotatif du dispositif de déclenchement supplémentaire constitué par le moteur fait tourner la platine 24 suffisamment pour qu'elle dépasse le point d'équilibre instable constitué par l'alignement des trois axes 27, 28 et 31. La platine 24 est alors automatiquement entraînée en rotation par la traction qu'exerce sur elle l'élément de retenue arrière via la tringle 10 et la deuxième biellette 30. A la fin de la rotation, le dispositif se trouve dans la disposition représentée à la figure 5. Dans cette disposition, les trois axes 27, 28 et 31 sont alignés.When a trip command is provided to the actuation box by the control box, the rotary actuating means of the additional triggering device constituted by the motor rotates the plate 24 sufficiently that it exceeds the point of equilibrium. unstable constituted by the alignment of the three axes 27, 28 and 31. The plate 24 is then automatically rotated by the traction exerted on it the rear retaining element via the rod 10 and the second link 30. A la end of rotation, the device is in the arrangement shown in Figure 5. In this arrangement, the three axes 27, 28 and 31 are aligned.

Dans ce mode de réalisation, le moteur ne fait qu'initialiser le mouvement de la platine. Dès que le point d'équilibre est dépassé, le moteur électrique n'est plus générateur du mouvement, il le subit.In this embodiment, the motor only initializes the movement of the plate. As soon as the equilibrium point is exceeded, the electric motor is no longer generating motion, it undergoes it.

Grâce à un tel dispositif, la course de translation de l'élément de retenue arrière 3 est égale au double de la distance séparant l'axe principal du premier axe secondaire additionné du double de la distance séparant l'axe principal 28 du second axe secondaire 31.With such a device, the translation travel of the rear retaining element 3 is equal to twice the distance separating the main axis from the first secondary axis plus double the distance separating the main axis 28 from the second secondary axis 31.

Les figures 6 et 7 représentent un troisième mode de réalisation de l'invention. Ce dernier diffère du mode de réalisation précédent par le fait que la platine 24 est entraînée en rotation par un moteur électrique 17 dont l'arbre de sortie supporte une vis sans fin 33. Le fonctionnement en est similaire à la différence qu'il n'est pas nécessaire de prévoir une butée pour arrêter la rotation de la platine. En effet, c'est la vis sans fin qui empêche la rotation.Figures 6 and 7 show a third embodiment of the invention. The latter differs from the previous embodiment in that the plate 24 is rotated by an electric motor 17 whose output shaft supports a worm 33. The operation is similar to the difference that it does not. it is not necessary to provide a stop to stop the rotation of the plate. Indeed, it is the worm that prevents rotation.

Le boîtier d'actionnement 8 comprend un bloc 13 qui reçoit les différentes pièces, et notamment un chariot 23 coulissant dans une direction longitudinale. Une platine 24 est montée dans le chariot et peut tourner autour d'un axe principal 28 orienté verticalement. A la base de cette platine 24 se trouve une première roue dentée 16.The actuating housing 8 comprises a block 13 which receives the different parts, and in particular a carriage 23 sliding in a longitudinal direction. A plate 24 is mounted in the carriage and is rotatable about a main axis 28 oriented vertically. At the base of this plate 24 is a first toothed wheel 16.

Un moteur électrique 17 est également fixé dans le chariot 23. Il comprend sur son arbre de sortie, orienté horizontalement, une vis sans fin 33 en prise avec la première roue dentée 16. Le moteur constitue le moyen d'actionnement rotatif de la platine, et on le verra plus loin, du dispositif de déclenchement supplémentaire.An electric motor 17 is also fixed in the carriage 23. It comprises on its output shaft, oriented horizontally, a worm 33 engaged with the first gear wheel 16. The motor is the rotary actuating means of the plate, and will be seen later, the additional triggering device.

Une première biellette 25 est fixée dans une entaille inférieure 26 ménagée dans la platine 24. Cette première biellette 25 est montée rotative par la première de ses extrémités autour d'un premier axe secondaire orienté verticalement. La deuxième extrémité de la première biellette 25 est fixée sur le bloc. Par la rotation de la platine 24, le point d'attache de la première extrémité de la platine se déplace autour de l'axe principal 28 d'une distance égale au double de la distance séparant l'axe principal et le premier axe secondaire 27. Cela a pour effet le coulissement du chariot 23 dans le bloc 13.A first rod 25 is fixed in a lower notch 26 formed in the plate 24. This first rod 25 is rotatably mounted by the first of its ends around a first vertical axis oriented vertically. The second end of the first link 25 is fixed on the block. By the rotation of the plate 24, the point of attachment of the first end of the plate moves around the main axis 28 by a distance equal to twice the distance separating the main axis and the first secondary axis 27 This has the effect of sliding the carriage 23 in the block 13.

La platine comprend également une entaille supérieure 29. La première extrémité d'une deuxième biellette 30 est montée rotative autour d'un deuxième axe secondaire 31 dans cette entaille supérieure 29.The plate also comprises an upper notch 29. The first end of a second link 30 is rotatably mounted about a second secondary axis 31 in this upper slot 29.

Le deuxième axe secondaire 31 est diamétralement opposé au premier axe secondaire 27 par rapport à l'axe principal.The second secondary axis 31 is diametrically opposed to the first secondary axis 27 with respect to the main axis.

La deuxième extrémité de la deuxième biellette 30 est fixée à la tringle 10 (non représentée sur cette figure), laquelle est comme pour le mode de réalisation précédent reliée au corps de l'élément de retenue arrière.The second end of the second link 30 is fixed to the rod 10 (not shown in this figure), which is as for the previous embodiment connected to the body of the rear retaining element.

La rotation de la platine 24, générée par le moteur entraîne le déplacement de la première extrémité de la deuxième biellette d'une distance égale au double de la distance séparant l'axe principal 28 du deuxième axe secondaire 31.The rotation of the plate 24, generated by the motor causes the displacement of the first end of the second rod by a distance equal to twice the distance separating the main axis 28 from the second secondary axis 31.

Le mécanisme représenté à la figure 6, l'est en position "fermée", c'est-à-dire lorsque l'élément de retenue arrière est contre la chaussure de ski. Dans cette position l'axe principal 28, le premier axe secondaire 27 et le deuxième axe secondaire 31 sont dans la mesure du possible rigoureusement alignés. Etant donné que l'élément de retenue arrière exerce via la tringle 10 une force de traction sur la deuxième biellette 30, cette disposition particulière de l'alignement des trois axes est théoriquement instable. Cependant, elle est rendue stable par la liaison entre la vis sans fin 33 et la première roue dentée 16.The mechanism shown in Figure 6, is in the "closed" position, that is to say when the rear retaining element is against the ski boot. In this position the main axis 28, the first secondary axis 27 and the second secondary axis 31 are as far as possible strictly aligned. Since the rear retainer exerts via the bead wire 10 a pulling force on the second link 30, this particular arrangement of the alignment of the three axes is theoretically unstable. However, it is made stable by the connection between the worm 33 and the first toothed wheel 16.

Lorsqu'un ordre de déclenchement est fourni au boîtier d'actionnement par le boîtier de commande, le moyen d'actionnement rotatif du dispositif de déclenchement supplémentaire constitué par le moteur fait tourner la platine 24 suffisamment pour qu'elle sorte de la position d'équilibre constituée par l'alignement des trois axes 27, 28 et 31. La platine 24 est alors automatiquement entraînée en rotation par la traction qu'exerce sur elle l'élément de retenue arrière via la tringle 10 et la deuxième biellette 30. A la fin de la rotation, le dispositif se trouve dans la disposition représentée à la figure 5. Dans cette disposition, les trois axes 27, 28 et 31 sont à nouveau alignés, dans une autre configuration, qui est stable.When a trip command is supplied to the actuation box by the control box, the rotary actuating means of the additional triggering device constituted by the motor rotates the plate 24 sufficiently to leave the position of balance constituted by the alignment of the three axes 27, 28 and 31. The plate 24 is then automatically rotated by the traction exerted on it the rear retaining element via the rod 10 and the second link 30. A la end of the rotation, the device is in the arrangement shown in Figure 5. In this arrangement, the three axes 27, 28 and 31 are again aligned in another configuration, which is stable.

Grâce à un tel dispositif, la course de translation de l'élément de retenue arrière 3 est égale au double de la distance séparant l'axe principal du premier axe secondaire additionné du double de la distance séparant l'axe principal 28 du second axe secondaire 31.With such a device, the translation travel of the rear retaining element 3 is equal to twice the distance separating the main axis from the first secondary axis plus double the distance separating the main axis 28 from the second secondary axis 31.

L'invention ne se limite pas aux quelques modes de réalisations décrits ci-dessus à titre d'exemple. On pourra par exemple envisager que le dispositif de déclenchement supplémentaire n'agira non plus en translatant l'élément de retenue arrière, mais en le faisant pivoter; ou bien en translatant, ou en le faisant pivoter, l'élément de retenue avant; ou encore en agissant sur l'élément de retenue avant et sur l'élément de retenue arrière.The invention is not limited to the few embodiments described above as an example. It may for example be envisaged that the additional triggering device will not act either by translating the rear retention element, but by rotating it; or by translating, or rotating, the front retainer; or by acting on the front retainer and the rear retainer.
