Definitions

  • the invention relates to the field of sports articles comprising a retaining or tightening link of a foot or a shoe.
  • the invention relates more particularly to a device for retaining a foot or a shoe on a sports machine, or a shoe as such.
  • Such articles are used for the practice of various sports, such as sliding, rolling, or walking sports. It can be snowboarding or snowboarding, skiing on snow or water, snowshoeing, rollerblading, walking, or whatever.
  • a link In the case of a device for retaining a boot on a snowboard, a link generally comprises a first portion, a second portion, and a clamping mechanism secured to the second portion.
  • the clamping mechanism may comprise a pawl.
  • the length of the link is adjusted by moving the first portion relative to the second by means of the clamping mechanism.
  • a mechanism lever shortens the link, the ratchet preventing elongation when the lever does not act. If necessary the lengthening of the link, or its opening by separating the first portion and the second, is obtained by acting on the pawl with a release button. This operation is an act desired by a user of the device, that is to say by a person who practices snowboarding and who wants to either reduce the tension of the link, or release a shoe from the retainer.
  • the user can, conversely, seek to close the link. In this case, it must introduce a free end of the first portion of the link in the clamping mechanism. Simply take each portion with one hand, then perform an approach maneuver. After the introduction of the free end, in the clamping mechanism, an action on the lever causes a shortening of the link.
  • the invention is particularly intended to facilitate the establishment of the free end of the first portion in the clamping mechanism of a link.
  • the invention also aims to ensure the establishment of the free end, guide the free end to the clamping mechanism, simplify the establishment, and make the latter faster.
  • the invention provides an article comprising a retaining or clamping link of a foot or boot, the link comprising a first portion, a second portion, and a clamping mechanism secured to the second portion.
  • the article according to the invention is characterized in that it comprises a means for attracting the first portion towards the clamping mechanism.
  • the attraction means attracts the free end of the first portion of the link to the clamping mechanism.
  • the free end is biased towards and / or against the clamping mechanism. This keeps the first portion in the introductory position. In other words the establishment of the free end is facilitated, since it is no longer necessary to fumble to correctly position the free end.
  • the means of attraction improves or guarantees the establishment of the free end of the first portion.
  • the attraction means guides or attracts the free end towards the clamping mechanism, despite a possible lack of visibility for the user. In practice, the commitment of the free end, for the article according to the invention, is simpler and faster than for an article according to the prior art.
  • the first embodiment is presented using FIGS. 1 to 6.
  • a sporting article 1 or retainer allows the temporary retention on a machine 2 of a shoe not shown.
  • the machine 2 is for example a board for the practice of snowboarding.

  • the drive lever 93 and the release button 100 are articulated on the same axis 104, between the flanges 84, 85.
  • An elastic means not shown, such as a spring, constantly urges the lever 93 so that the handling end 94 is pushed to the bridge 86.
  • the ratchet 90 opposes an extension of the link 51. This means that the end 56 of the first portion 52 can move in a direction that goes from an inner edge 105 to an outer edge 106 of the base 83.
  • the user can loosen the link, or even release the shoe by opening the link. For this it is sufficient for it to act, for example with a finger, on the handling end 103 of the release button 100.
