Description

La présente invention concerne un dispositif d'interface entre un élément de retenue d'une chaussure et une planche de glisse. L'invention concerne également une planche de glisse équipée d'un tel dispositif d'interface.The present invention relates to an interface device between a shoe retainer and a gliding board. The invention also relates to a gliding board equipped with such an interface device.

Des dispositifs d'interface entre un élément de retenue d'une chaussure et une planche de glisse sont connus dans l'art antérieur. Ils servent notamment à isoler les éléments de retenue de la planche de glisse et ils permettent de surélever la chaussure. Ils servent également à permettre le réglage de position des éléments de retenue par rapport à la planche de glisse. D'autre part, ils sont souvent conçus de telle façon que les éléments de retenue gênent le moins possible la flexion du ski.Interface devices between a shoe retainer and a gliding board are known in the prior art. They serve in particular to isolate the retaining elements of the gliding board and they allow to elevate the shoe. They are also used to allow the position adjustment of the retaining elements with respect to the gliding board. On the other hand, they are often designed in such a way that the restraining elements interfere as little as possible with the flexing of the ski.

Le document DE 100 63 923 décrit un dispositif d'interface destiné à recevoir des éléments de fixation avant et arrière. Comme on peut le voir aux figures 3 et 4 de ce document, le dispositif d'interface est constitué par deux rails séparés et disposés parallèlement sur la planche de glisse et sur lesquels les éléments de fixation avant et arrière peuvent coulisser. Une telle construction pose le problème de déformation de la planche de glisse en torsion selon son axe longitudinal. De façon normalisée, on appelle les moments de torsion qui s'exercent suivant cet axe, des moments Mx.The document DE 100 63 923 discloses an interface device for receiving front and rear fasteners. As can be seen at Figures 3 and 4 of this document, the interface device is constituted by two separate rails and arranged parallel to the gliding board and on which the front and rear fastening elements can slide. Such a construction raises the problem of deformation of the gliding board in torsion along its longitudinal axis. In a standardized way, the moments of torsion which are exerted along this axis are called moments Mx.

Les documents EP 1 576 898 et FR 2 831 829 décrivent des dispositifs d'interface comportant des branches latérales reliées par une partie centrale plaquée sur la surface supérieure du ski.The documents EP 1 576 898 and FR 2,831,829 describe interface devices having lateral branches connected by a central portion plated on the upper surface of the ski.

La présente invention a pour objectif de fournir un dispositif d'interface entre un élément de retenue d'une chaussure et une planche de glisse qui permette de s'affranchir des limitations posées par les dispositifs connus dans l'art antérieur. Notamment, l'invention a pour objectif de fournir un dispositif d'interface entre un élément de retenue d'une chaussure et une planche de glisse qui assure une surélévation de la chaussure, qui ne change pas le comportement de la planche de glisse, notamment en flexion et améliore le comportement de la planche de glisse, notamment une meilleure résistance à la déformation de celle-ci aux efforts qui génèrent des moments de torsion selon son axe longitudinal (Mx), permettant notamment un guidage précis de la planche de glisse, une meilleure accroche sur toute la longueur de celui-ci tout en améliorant les capacités de réaction de la planche de glisse.The object of the present invention is to provide an interface device between a shoe retaining element and a gliding board which makes it possible to overcome the limitations posed by the devices known in the prior art. In particular, the invention aims to provide an interface device between a shoe retainer and a gliding board that ensures an elevation of the shoe, which does not change the behavior of the gliding board, in particular in flexion and improves the behavior of the gliding board, in particular a better resistance to the deformation thereof to the forces which generate moments of torsion along its longitudinal axis (Mx), notably allowing precise guidance of the gliding board, a better grip on the entire length of it while improving the reaction capabilities of the gliding board.

L'invention a également pour objectif de fournir un dispositif d'interface qui permette d'assurer un montage rapide des éléments de retenue sur la planche de glisse.Another object of the invention is to provide an interface device which makes it possible to rapidly mount the retaining elements on the gliding board.

L'invention a également pour objectif de fournir un dispositif d'interface qui améliore le comportement dynamique de la planche de glisse, en flexion et/ou en torsion.The invention also aims to provide an interface device that improves the dynamic behavior of the gliding board, in flexion and / or torsion.

L'objectif de l'invention est obtenu par la fourniture d'un dispositif d'interface entre un élément de retenue d'une chaussure et une planche de glisse comportant:

  • une branche latérale droite comportant une surface inférieure susceptible d'être placée sur ladite planche de glisse,
  • une branche latérale gauche disposée parallèlement à ladite branche latérale droite et comportant une surface inférieure susceptible d'être placée sur ladite planche de glisse,
  • ladite branche latérale droite et ladite branche latérale gauche servant à supporter et à fixer ledit au moins un élément de retenue sur la planche de glisse;
caractérisé en ce qu'un pont est disposé entre ladite branche latérale droite et ladite branche latérale gauche.The object of the invention is obtained by providing an interface device between a shoe retaining element and a gliding board comprising:
  • a right lateral branch having a lower surface that can be placed on said gliding board,
  • a left lateral branch disposed parallel to said right lateral branch and having a lower surface that can be placed on said gliding board,
  • said right side branch and said left side branch for supporting and securing said at least one retainer on the gliding board;
characterized in that a bridge is disposed between said right side branch and said left side branch.

Dans un premier mode de réalisation de l'invention, le dispositif d'interface se compose d'une partie avant qui a deux branches latérale et d'une partie arrière qui comprend une pièce faite principalement d'un seul élément principal.In a first embodiment of the invention, the interface device consists of a front part which has two side branches and a rear part which comprises a part made mainly of a single main element.

De préférence, ledit pont est plus élevé que ladite surface inférieure de ladite branche latérale droite.Preferably, said bridge is higher than said lower surface of said right lateral branch.

De préférence, l'épaisseur du pont est inférieure à 40% de la valeur de l'épaisseur totale du dispositif d'interface.Preferably, the thickness of the bridge is less than 40% of the value of the total thickness of the interface device.

De préférence, la surface inférieure du pont a avec la surface inférieure du dispositif d'interface une élévation non nulle de telle façon que la surface inférieure du pont ne soit pas en contact avec la surface supérieure de la planche de glisse.Preferably, the lower surface of the bridge has a non-zero elevation with the lower surface of the interface device so that the bottom surface of the bridge is not in contact with the upper surface of the gliding board.

Dans un deuxième mode de réalisation de l'invention la partie avant du dispositif d'interface comprend une cale de rehausse et un raidisseur, ce dernier étant placé sous la cale de rehausse et assurant également une fonction de répartition des pressions exercées par le ski sur la neige. La cale de rehausse comprend deux branches parallèles sur chacune desquelles est aménagé un rail servant à la fixation des éléments de retenue, un pont reliant les deux branches pour améliorer la résistance à la déformation de l'ensemble planche de glisse et dispositif d'interface lorsque cet ensemble est soumis à des efforts transversaux au plan longitudinal de la planche de glisse. De préférence le pont fait partie du raidisseur et il est constitué par une portion surélevée du raidisseur.In a second embodiment of the invention, the front part of the interface device comprises a shim and a stiffener, the latter being placed under the shim and also providing a function of distribution of the pressures exerted by the ski on the snow. The brace comprises two parallel branches on each of which is arranged a rail for fixing the retaining elements, a bridge connecting the two branches to improve the resistance to deformation of the entire board and glide interface device when this assembly is subjected to transverse forces to the longitudinal plane of the gliding board. Preferably the bridge is part of the stiffener and is constituted by a raised portion of the stiffener.

Grâce à son extension longitudinale le raidisseur, à sa relative finesse, par rapport à la cale de rehausse, au fait qu'il soit réalisé dans un matériau de plus grande densité que la cale de rehausse et grâce au fait qu'il soit placé sous cette dernière, c'est-à-dire au plus près de la surface supérieure de la planche de glisse, et donc au plus près de la fibre neutre de la planche de glisse, le raidisseur n'en modifie que très peu le comportement dynamique. La cale de rehausse doit avoir le minimum d'effet sur le comportement du ski, malgré son épaisseur plus conséquente que celle du raidisseur.Due to its longitudinal extension the stiffener, at its relative fineness, relative to the wedge enhancement, the fact that it is made of a material of greater density than the wedge raises and thanks to the fact that it is placed under the latter, that is to say closer to the upper surface of the gliding board, and therefore closer to the neutral fiber of the gliding board, the stiffener does not change the dynamic behavior very little . The shim must have the minimum effect on the behavior of the ski, despite its thickness more consistent than that of the stiffener.

De préférence, le raidisseur, et par conséquent le pont est réalisé dans un matériau plus noble que la cale de rehausse. Par exemple en aluminium, ou bien en matériau composite, quand la cale de rehausse est réalisée en matière plastique. Ou encore, le raidisseur peut être réalisé dans une matière plastique plus rigide et ayant une densité plus importante que la matière plastique utilisée pour réaliser la cale de rehausse.Preferably, the stiffener, and therefore the bridge is made of a material more noble than the wedge raiser. For example in aluminum, or in composite material, when the raising wedge is made of plastic. Or, the stiffener may be made of a more rigid plastic material having a higher density than the plastic material used to make the wedge.

La figure 1 montre un ski équipé d'un dispositif d'interface selon l'art antérieur. Deux rails latéraux sont ancrés parallèlement dans le ski et qui servent à la fixation des deux éléments de retenue avant et arrière : la butée avant et la talonnière arrière, lesquelles sont montrées en traits interrompus fins sur cette figure.The figure 1 shows a ski equipped with an interface device according to the prior art. Two lateral rails are anchored in parallel in the ski and serve for fixing the two front and rear retaining elements: the front stop and the rear heel, which are shown in fine broken lines in this figure.

La figure 2 décrit le dispositif d'interface selon un premier mode de réalisation de l'invention. Le dispositif d'interface 51 comprend une partie avant 91 et une partie arrière 101. La partie arrière 101 est constituée comme une interface pleine, c'est-à-dire que les deux rails latéraux font partie d'une même pièce. Il s'agit d'un élément de surélévation obtenu par injection de matière plastique. La partie arrière 101 est fixée à la planche de glisse par quatre vis.The figure 2 describes the interface device according to a first embodiment of the invention. The interface device 51 comprises a front portion 91 and a rear portion 101. The rear portion 101 is constituted as a solid interface, that is to say that the two side rails are part of the same room. This is an elevation element obtained by plastic injection. The rear portion 101 is fixed to the gliding board by four screws.

Afin d'empêcher que la partie arrière 101 ne gêne la flexion de la planche de ski, les deux vis arrière 25 de la partie arrière 101 ont la possibilité de se déplacer en translation longitudinale par rapport à la partie arrière 101, tandis que les deux vis avant 24 sont fixes.In order to prevent the rear portion 101 from interfering with the flexing of the ski board, the two rear screws 25 of the rear part 101 have the possibility of moving in longitudinal translation relative to the rear part 101, while the two front screws 24 are fixed.

Pour assurer la translation des vis arrière 25 par rapport à la partie arrière 101, on les installe dans une coulisse 26 qui est susceptible de se translater dans un logement qui traverse l'extrémité de la partie arrière 101. La coulisse 26 comprend un bloc surmonté d'une plaque 27, dont les ailes latérales prennent appui sur les rails arrière 28 de la partie arrière 101.To ensure the translation of the rear screws 25 relative to the rear portion 101, they are installed in a slide 26 which is capable of translating into a housing which passes through the end of the rear portion 101. The slide 26 comprises a block surmounted a plate 27, whose lateral wings bear on the rear rails 28 of the rear portion 101.

La partie arrière 101 comprend deux rails arrière 28 qui s'étendent longitudinalement sur toute la longueur de celle-ci. De façon connue, ces rails arrière sont utilisés pour la mise en place de l'élément de retenue arrière, lequel comprend à sa base une plaque prévue pour coulisser sur lesdits rails arrière 28.The rear portion 101 includes two rear rails 28 which extend longitudinally along the entire length thereof. In known manner, these rear rails are used for the introduction of the rear retaining element, which comprises at its base a plate provided for sliding on said rear rails 28.

La partie avant 91 comprend deux branches latérales 15, 16 indépendantes l'une de l'autre. Chacune des branches 15, 16 comprend une pluralité d'entailles 141 qui empêche la partie avant 91 de gêner les mouvements de flexion de la planche de glisse. La partie avant est fixée à la planche de glisse grâce à une pluralité de pions 17, lesquels sont collés dans des trous ménagés dans la planche de glisse. On pourra également remplacer ces pions par des vis ou par tout autre principe permettant de solidariser la partie avant 91 au ski.The front portion 91 comprises two lateral branches 15, 16 independent of one another. Each of the branches 15, 16 comprises a plurality of notches 141 which prevents the front portion 91 from interfering with the bending movements of the gliding board. The front portion is attached to the gliding board through a plurality of pins 17, which are glued into holes in the gliding board. We can also replace these pins by screws or any other principle to secure the front portion 91 to the ski.

La partie avant 91 est réalisée par injection d'une matière plastique. Bien entendu on pourra réaliser cette dernière avec d'autres matériaux ainsi qu'avec d'autres méthodes de fabrication.The front portion 91 is made by injection of a plastic material. Of course we can achieve the latter with other materials and other manufacturing methods.

Chacune des branches latérales de la partie avant comprend un rail avant 29 qui s'étend longitudinalement sur toute la longueur de celle-ci. Comme pour les rails arrière 28 décrits précédemment, ces rails avant 29 sont utilisés pour la mise en place de l'élément de retenue avant sur le dispositif d'interface.Each of the side branches of the front portion comprises a front rail 29 which extends longitudinally along the entire length thereof. As for the rear rails 28 described previously, these front rails 29 are used for positioning the front retainer on the interface device.

Le dispositif d'interface 51 selon le premier mode de réalisation de l'invention comprend également une lame 30 servant à bloquer longitudinalement les éléments de retenue avant et arrière sur les rails avant et arrière.The interface device 51 according to the first embodiment of the invention also includes a blade 30 for longitudinally locking the front and rear retainers on the front and rear rails.

Un pont 231 est placé entre les deux branches latérales 15, 16. Ce pont comprend trois projections 35 sur chacun de ses bords latéraux. Les projections 35 du bord latéral droit viennent s'insérer dans des fentes 36 correspondantes ménagées horizontalement dans la branche latérale droite 15, tandis que les projections 35 du bord latéral gauche viennent s'insérer dans des fentes 36 correspondantes ménagées horizontalement dans la branche latérale gauche 16. De préférence, les fentes 36 sont légèrement plus longues que les projections 35 de façon à permettre un mouvement de coulissement d'une certaine amplitude du pont 231 par rapport à la partie avant 91.A bridge 231 is placed between the two lateral branches 15, 16. This bridge comprises three projections 35 on each of its lateral edges. The projections 35 of the right lateral edge are inserted into corresponding slots 36 formed horizontally in the right lateral branch 15, while the projections 35 of the left lateral edge are inserted into corresponding slots 36 formed horizontally in the left lateral branch. Preferably, the slots 36 are slightly longer than the projections 35 so as to allow a sliding movement of a certain amplitude of the bridge 231 with respect to the front portion 91.

Bien entendu le nombre de projections n'est pas limitatif et on pourra utiliser un pont ayant une, deux, quatre ou un nombre plus important de projection sur chacun de ses bords latéraux.Of course the number of projections is not limiting and we can use a bridge having one, two, four or a larger number of projections on each of its side edges.

La figure 3 montre une vue en coupe du dispositif de la figure 2. Le pont 231 a une épaisseur E3 relativement faible par rapport à l'épaisseur du dispositif d'interface. L'épaisseur E3 du pont est inférieure à 40% de l'épaisseur totale du dispositif d'interface. La surface du pont 231 présente une élévation H3 par rapport à la surface de base des branches latérales 15, 16, c'est-à-dire par rapport à la surface supérieure de la planche de glisse sur laquelle le dispositif d'interface est placé. La surface inférieure du pont 231 a une élévation H4 par rapport à la surface de base des branches latérales 15, 16. L'élévation H4 n'est pas nulle. Ainsi la surface inférieure du pont n'est pas en contact avec la surface supérieure de la planche de glisse. Le pont 231 permet la reprise des efforts ayant une composante transversale au plan longitudinal de la planche de glisse; et réduit les déformations en torsion du dispositif d'interface et de la planche de glisse.The figure 3 shows a sectional view of the device of the figure 2 . The bridge 231 has a thickness E3 relatively small compared to the thickness of the interface device. The thickness E3 of the bridge is less than 40% of the total thickness of the interface device. The surface of the bridge 231 has an elevation H3 with respect to the base surface of the side branches 15, 16, that is to say with respect to the upper surface of the gliding board on which the interface device is placed . The lower surface of the bridge 231 has an elevation H4 with respect to the base surface of the lateral branches 15, 16. The elevation H4 is not zero. Thus the lower surface of the bridge is not in contact with the upper surface of the gliding board. The bridge 231 allows the recovery of forces having a component transverse to the longitudinal plane of the gliding board; and reduces torsional deformations of the interface device and the gliding board.

Le pont 231 est réalisé en aluminium ou dans une autre matière suffisamment rigide pour qu'il puisse assurer sa fonction de reprise des efforts. On pourra également le réaliser en matière plastique, en fibre (verre, carbone, etc..).The bridge 231 is made of aluminum or another material sufficiently rigid so that it can perform its function recovery efforts. It can also be made of plastic, fiber (glass, carbon, etc. ..).

Une version alternative du premier mode de réalisation de l'invention, qui n'est pas représentée sur le dessin, comprend une partie arrière construite de façon similaire de la partie avant, c'est-à-dire qu'elle comprend deux branches indépendantes reliées entre elles par un pont.An alternative version of the first embodiment of the invention, which is not shown in the drawing, comprises a similarly constructed rear portion of the front portion, i.e. it comprises two independent branches. interconnected by a bridge.

Les figures 5, 7 montrent des vues en coupe de versions alternatives du premier mode de réalisation de l'invention montrant que le pont peut prendre différente configuration.The Figures 5, 7 show sectional views of alternative versions of the first embodiment of the invention showing that the bridge can take different configuration.

Les figures 4, 6, 8 ne sont partie de l'invention.The Figures 4, 6, 8 are not part of the invention.

La figure 9 décrit un exemple qui ne fait pas partie de l'invention. Le dispositif d'interface 52 comprend une partie avant 92 et une partie arrière 102. La partie arrière 102 est constituée comme une interface classique. Il s'agit d'un élément de surélévation obtenu par injection de matière plastique. La partie arrière 102 est fixée à la planche de glisse par quatre vis.The figure 9 describes an example which does not form part of the invention. The interface device 52 includes a front portion 92 and a rear portion 102. The rear portion 102 is constituted as a classic interface. This is an elevation element obtained by plastic injection. The rear portion 102 is fixed to the gliding board by four screws.

Afin d'empêcher que la partie arrière 102 ne gêne la flexion de la planche de ski, les deux vis arrière 25 de la partie arrière 102 ont la possibilité de se déplacer en translation longitudinal par rapport à la partie arrière 102, tandis que les deux vis avant 24 sont fixes.In order to prevent the rear portion 102 from interfering with the flexing of the ski board, the two rear screws 25 of the rear portion 102 have the possibility of moving longitudinally relative to the rear portion 102, while the two front screws 24 are fixed.

Pour assurer la translation des vis arrière 25 par rapport à la partie arrière 102, on les installe dans une coulisse 26 qui est susceptible de se translater dans un logement qui traverse l'extrémité de la partie arrière 102. La coulisse 26 comprend un bloc surmonté d'une plaque 27, dont les ailes latérales prennent appui sur les rails arrière 28 de la partie arrière 102.To ensure the translation of the rear screws 25 relative to the rear portion 102, they are installed in a slide 26 which is capable of translating into a housing which passes through the end of the rear portion 102. The slide 26 comprises a block surmounted a plate 27, whose lateral wings bear on the rear rails 28 of the rear portion 102.

La partie arrière 102 comprend deux rails arrière 28 qui s'étendent longitudinalement sur toute la longueur de celle-ci. De façon connue, ces rails arrière sont utilisés pour la mise en place de l'élément de retenue arrière, lequel comprend à sa base une plaque prévue pour coulisser sur lesdits rails arrière 28.The rear portion 102 includes two rear rails 28 which extend longitudinally along the entire length thereof. In known manner, these rear rails are used for the introduction of the rear retaining element, which comprises at its base a plate provided for sliding on said rear rails 28.

La partie avant 92 comprend un raidisseur longitudinal 82 et une cale de rehausse 72. La cale de rehausse 72 comprend deux branches latérales 15, 16 reliées entre elles par leur extrémité la plus proche de la partie arrière 102. La cale de rehausse 72 comprend une épaisseur moyenne d'environ 10 mm. L'épaisseur se rétrécie vers l'avant de la cale de rehausse et elle s'accroît légèrement vers l'arrière de celle-ci. Bien entendu, une épaisseur de 10 mm n'est pas une caractéristique limitative de l'invention et on pourra réaliser des cales de rehausse ayant des épaisseurs plus importantes ou plus faibles en fonction de la planche de glisse sur laquelle le dispositif d'interface sera fixé et en fonction de la pratique envisagée, ski slalom, ski de descente, ski freestyle, ski freeride, snowboard, ski de fond, télémark, ski de randonnée, etc....The front portion 92 comprises a longitudinal stiffener 82 and a shim 72. The shim 72 comprises two lateral branches 15, 16 interconnected by their end closest to the rear portion 102. The shim 72 includes a average thickness of about 10 mm. The thickness narrows towards the front of the lift block and increases slightly towards the rear of the latter. Of course, a thickness of 10 mm is not a limiting feature of the invention and it will be possible to make shims of elevation having greater or smaller thicknesses depending on the board of gliding on which the interface device will be fixed and according to the envisaged practice, slalom skiing, downhill skiing, freestyle skiing, freeride skiing, snowboarding, cross-country skiing, telemark, ski touring, etc.

Chacune des branches latérales droite et gauche 152, 162 comprend une pluralité d'entailles 142 qui empêche la cale de rehausse 72 de gêner les mouvements de flexion de la planche de glisse. La cale de rehausse est fixée à la planche de glisse grâce à une pluralité de pions 17, lesquels sont collés dans des trous ménagés dans la planche de glisse. On pourra également remplacer ces pions par des vis.Each of the right and left side branches 152, 162 includes a plurality of notches 142 which prevents the upstand 72 from interfering with the bending movements of the gliding board. The shim is attached to the gliding board through a plurality of pins 17, which are glued into holes in the gliding board. We can also replace these pins with screws.

Le raidisseur 82 est constitué par une plaque en aluminium d'une épaisseur d'environ 1 mm. Elle comprend des ouvertures 18, prévues pour être traversées par les pions 17 de la cale de rehausse 72. Le raidisseur est donc fixé à la planche de glisse par l'intermédiaire de la cale de rehausse 72.The stiffener 82 is constituted by an aluminum plate with a thickness of about 1 mm. It comprises openings 18, designed to be traversed by the pins 17 of the shim 72. The stiffener is thus fixed to the gliding board via the shim 72.

Le raidisseur 82 pourrait également être plus épais que 1 mm et notamment avoir une épaisseur non constante et éventuellement avoir des formages ou des bossages permettant de régler sa rigidité.The stiffener 82 could also be thicker than 1 mm and in particular have a non-constant thickness and possibly have formings or bosses to adjust its rigidity.

La figure 10, qui ne fait pas partie de l'invention, montre une vue en coupe de la partie avant 92 du dispositif d'interface 52. Sur cette figure, on peut voir que l'épaisseur E2 de la cale de rehausse 72 est supérieure à celle E1 du raidisseur 82.The figure 10 , which does not form part of the invention, shows a sectional view of the front part 92 of the interface device 52. In this figure, it can be seen that the thickness E2 of the upstand 72 is greater than that E1 of the stiffener 82.

Le raidisseur 82 comprend une première portion plane 19 qui est prévue pour être posée sur la planche de glisse et qui supporte là branche latérale droite 152 de la cale de rehausse 72 ainsi qu'une deuxième portion plane 20 qui est prévue pour être posée sur la planche de glisse et qui supporte la branche latérale gauche 16.The stiffener 82 comprises a first planar portion 19 which is intended to be placed on the gliding board and which supports the right lateral branch 152 of the upstand block 72 and a second flat portion 20 which is intended to be placed on the gliding board and supporting the left side branch 16.

Le raidisseur 82 comprend deux portions sécantes 21 qui prolongent chacune des première et deuxième portions planes 19, 20 vers l'extérieur et font un angle α sensiblement égal à 90° avec lesdites première et deuxième portions planes.The stiffener 82 comprises two secant portions 21 which extend each of the first and second planar portions 19, 20 outwards and make an angle α substantially equal to 90 ° with said first and second planar portions.

La première portion plane 19 et la deuxième portion plane 20 sont reliées entre elles par un pont 232, lequel est surélevé par rapport auxdites portions planes 19, 20. C'est-à-dire si l'on considère que l'élévation de la surface supérieure des première et deuxième portions planes 19 et 20 par rapport à la surface supérieure de la planche de glisse est égale à H1, alors l'élévation de la surface supérieure du pont 232 est H2, laquelle est supérieure à H1. L'épaisseur du pont 232, E4, est relativement faible par rapport à l'épaisseur totale du dispositif d'interface, laquelle est égale à "E1 + E2". Dans le cas présent, l'épaisseur E4 est sensiblement égale à E1. La surface inférieure du pont 232 a une élévation, H5, par rapport à la surface inférieure du dispositif d'interface. L'élévation H5 n'est pas égale à zéro. Ainsi la surface inférieure du pont 232 n'est pas au contact de la surface supérieure de la planche de glisse.The first flat portion 19 and the second flat portion 20 are interconnected by a bridge 232, which is raised relative to said planar portions 19, 20. That is to say, if it is considered that the elevation of the upper surface of the first and second flat portions 19 and 20 relative to the upper surface of the gliding board is equal to H1, then the elevation of the upper surface of the bridge 232 is H2, which is greater than H1. The thickness of the bridge 232, E4, is relatively small compared to the total thickness of the interface device, which is equal to "E1 + E2". In the present case, the thickness E4 is substantially equal to E1. The lower surface of the bridge 232 has an elevation, H5, with respect to the lower surface of the interface device. The elevation H5 is not equal to zero. Thus the bottom surface of the bridge 232 is not in contact with the upper surface of the gliding board.

La surélévation du pont 232 par rapport aux portions planes 19, 20 a pour effet d'accroître la résistance à la torsion du dispositif d'interface.The elevation of the bridge 232 relative to the planar portions 19, 20 has the effect of increasing the torsional strength of the interface device.

De plus, chacune des branches droite et gauche 15, 16 prend appui sur le pont 232. Ce qui améliore la tenue du dispositif d'interface lorsque les éléments de retenue qui y sont fixés sont soumis à des efforts ayant une composante transversale au plan longitudinal de la planche de glisse.In addition, each of the right and left branches 15, 16 is supported on the bridge 232. This improves the holding of the interface device when the retaining elements attached thereto are subjected to forces having a component transverse to the longitudinal plane of the gliding board.

La figure 11, qui ne fait pas partie de l'invention, montre une vue de dessus du raidisseur 82. On peut y voir que le pont 232 n'est présent que dans la zone centrale du raidisseur. Les deux portions planes 19 et 20 sont également reliées l'une à l'autre à l'extrémité arrière du raidisseur 82. Bien entendu, on pourra envisager que les deux portions planes soient reliées l'une à l'autre sur toute leur longueur. En plus des ouvertures 18, le raidisseur 82 est également traversé par des découpes d'allègement 31.The figure 11 , which does not form part of the invention, shows a view from above of the stiffener 82. It can be seen that the bridge 232 is present only in the central zone of the stiffener. The two planar portions 19 and 20 are also connected to each other at the rear end of the stiffener 82. Of course, it can be envisaged that the two planar portions are connected to one another over their entire length. . In addition to the openings 18, the stiffener 82 is also traversed by lightening cuts 31.

La cale de rehausse 72 comprend deux rails avant 29 qui s'étendent longitudinalement sur toute la longueur de celle-ci. Comme pour les rails arrière 28 décrits précédemment, ces rails avant 29 sont utilisés pour la mise en place de l'élément de retenue avant sur le dispositif d'interface.The shim 72 includes two rails 29 which extend longitudinally along the entire length thereof. As for the rear rails 28 described above, these front rails 29 are used for placing the front retainer on the interface device.

Le dispositif d'interface 52 selon le deuxième mode de réalisation de l'invention comprend également une lame 30 servant à bloquer longitudinalement les éléments de retenue avant et arrière sur les rails avant et arrière.The interface device 52 according to the second embodiment of the invention also includes a blade 30 for longitudinally locking the front and rear retainers on the front and rear rails.

L'invention ne se limite pas aux quelques modes de réalisation décrits ici à titre d'exemple, mais couvre également toutes les réalisations équivalentes. Notamment, bien que l'on n'ait décrit ici que des dispositifs d'interface équipés de rails sur lesquels les éléments de retenue peuvent coulisser, permettant un réglage de position de ces derniers, l'invention peut aussi bien s'appliquer aux dispositifs d'interface pour lesquels les éléments de retenue sont fixés par des vis ou par tout autres moyens de fixation.The invention is not limited to the few embodiments described here by way of example, but also covers all equivalent embodiments. Notably, although only interface devices equipped with rails on which the retaining elements are slidable, permitting positional adjustment of the latter, have been described, the invention can also be applied to the interface devices for which the retaining elements are fixed by screws or by any other means of attachment.
