Definitions
- the invention relates to so-called safety fasteners for the practice of skiing, and in particular the safety fasteners comprising an adjustment to accommodate shoes having holding protrusions of different thicknesses.
- a safety binding for the practice of skiing must allow the release of the user's foot to avoid hurting the user during an accidental transverse movement of his foot, encountered for example during a fall or fall. In general, to prevent it from being injured when the forces exerted on the shoe exceed previously determined values.
- a ski touring binding must also allow rotation of the boot around an axis transverse to the ski located at the front of the boot during the climbs, so as to make possible a distance of the heel of the user compared skiing to exert optimum thrust effort.
- Such a binding must also make it possible to absorb significant torsional forces between the boot and the ski during the downhill phases.
- the ski touring binding marketed under the reference Diamir Freeride by the company Fritschi comprises a pivotally mounted plate relative to a front base.
- the front base is intended to be fixed rigidly to the ski.
- the binding also comprises a rear base intended to be fixed rigidly to the ski.
- the plate is selectively released or fixed on the rear base.
- a front stop is pivotally mounted about a vertical axis on the front end of the plate.
- the front stop has a laterally elongate body to form two transverse holding fins of the foot.
- a backgauge is fixed on the rear end of the plate.
- the body of the front stop being relatively compact and in a relatively high position, it allows a relatively large pivoting of the plate in the up position.
- a spring is housed inside the front end of the plate.
- the spring recalls the front stop body to a position of retaining the user's foot.
- the spring defines the transverse force of the user's foot beyond which the shoe of the user is released by the front stop. The shoe then pushes one of the fins and rotates the front stop body until it is released.
- the vertical support of the boot by the front stop is obtained by blocking a protuberance before between two supports.
- the front protuberance is held between a flange of the body forming an upper stop, and a bearing surface formed in the plate and forming a lower stop.
- the shoes of hiking and trail ski boots have protuberances before separate thicknesses.
- the body of the front stop is slidably mounted vertically relative to the plate. The rotation of a set screw makes it possible to lower or raise the front stop body relative to the plate.
- This attachment does not guarantee optimal guidance of the ski in the downhill position.
- the support of the plate forming the lower stop is at a distance of 40 mm from the surface of the ski to promote a forward pivoting of the plate.
- the ski boot is then maintained in a relatively high position, unfavorable to the guiding of the ski.
- No known solution allows to consider a lowering of the platen support without altering the size of the front stop and the tilting capacity of the front stop in the up position.
- ski touring bindings and downhill ski bindings present use constraints resulting in quite different designs. It is thus difficult to design components common to these different fasteners, which limits the possibility of economies of scale during their manufacture.
- the document DE 42 38 657 describes a fastener according to the preamble of claim 1.
- the binding comprises a lower support cooperating with the upper stop of the body to ensure vertical support of a shoe, the body being slidably mounted relative to the lower support so that the adjustment of the vertical position of the body changes the distance between the upper stop and the lower support.
- the adjustment stroke of the vertical position of the body allows to selectively define a spacing is less than 19mm or greater than 30mm between the upper stop and the lower support.
- the binding is intended for the practice of ski touring, and further comprises a plate whose front portion is pivotally mounted relative to a base, intended to be fixed to the ski, before a climb position and a descent position, the body being mounted sliding vertically on the plate.
- the distance between the upper face of the lower support and a ski on which the attachment is fixed is less than 30mm, preferably less than 28mm, and preferably less than 26mm.
- the adjusting device comprises a screw whose head is accessible in the upper part of the body and a threaded element fixed to the plate, the screw being pivotally mounted relative to the body and screwed into the threaded element.
- the attachment further comprises a rear base to be fixed to the ski, and a mechanism for securing and releasing alternately the rear base and the rear portion of the plate.
- the attachment comprises a heel mounted on the rear base and intended to be fixed to the rear base in a down position.
- the pivoting stroke of the plate relative to the front base is greater than or equal to 80 °, preferably greater than or equal to 85 °, and preferably greater than or equal to 90 °.
- the body has a projecting portion in its lower part
- the front base comprises a housing having a shape complementary to that of the protruding portion so as to guide the body according to its vertical sliding.
- the binding is intended for the practice of downhill skiing
- the front base (300) is intended to be fixed to the ski.
- the front base guides the body according to its vertical sliding.
- the body has a projecting portion in its lower part
- the front base comprises a housing having a shape complementary to that of the protruding portion so as to guide the body according to its vertical sliding.
- the invention also relates to a ski equipped with a binding as defined above.
- the X direction corresponds to the axial direction of a plate of the binding.
- the direction Y corresponds to the transverse direction of the ski, and the direction Z corresponds to the direction normal to the plate of the binding.
- the direction Z also designates the vertical direction within the meaning of the invention.
- the repository used is associated with the mounting plate.
- this frame of reference can be mobile relative to the ski, for example when the plate is pivotally mounted relative to the ski as is the case for use in ski touring.
- this reference system can also be fixed in relation to the ski when the plate is integral with the ski as is the case for use in downhill skiing.
- the security fastener 1 illustrated in figure 1 is mixed-use, that is to say to selectively practice downhill skiing or ski touring.
- the safety binding 1 comprises a front base 400 intended to be fixed rigidly to a ski (not shown).
- the attachment 1 also comprises a plate 3 pivotally mounted relative to the front base 400 around a transverse axis.
- the attachment 1 further comprises a rear base 100 to be fixed rigidly to the ski.
- the plate 3 comprises a front base 300 forming its front end and pivotally mounted relative to the base 400 about a transverse axis.
- a front stop 7 is fixed on the front base 300.
- the plate 3 also comprises a rear base 360 forming its rear end.
- a heel 8 is fixed in a manner known per se on the rear base 360 and is intended to immobilize the heel of the user.
- the rear base 360 includes a rail 201 and an indentation (not shown) respectively for sliding the heel 8 and immobilize it with respect to the plate 3. Such adjustment is known to those skilled in the art and will not detailed further.
- the front stop 7 and the heel 8 are thus axially offset (the axial direction of the plate 3 is illustrated by the straight line 91) to allow the insertion of a shoe of the user.
- the front base 300 and the rear base 360 are secured by means of a connecting member 200.
- the attachment 1 is in the descent position.
- the rear base 360 of the plate 3 is pressed against the rear base 100.
- the rear base 360 is then attached to the rear base 100 to allow the transmission of forces between the heel of the user and the ski.
- the user's foot and the plate 3 can not then pivot relative to the ski.
- the rear base 360 is disengaged from the rear base 100 to allow the pivoting of the plate 3 and the foot of the user relative to the ski.
- the base 400 advantageously comprises a first element 420 and a second element 440.
- the element 420 is slidably mounted in the element 440.
- the elements 420 and 440 are fixed to the ski respectively by screws 460 and 450.
- a stirrup 401 extending vertically is formed in the element 420 of the base 400.
- the stirrup 401 comprises two faces offset transversely and between which the front base 300 is housed.
- a shaft 502 joins the two faces of the stirrup 401 at its upper part.
- the shaft 502 passes through bores 311 and 312 formed in the front end of the front base 300.
- the shaft 502 passing through the bores 311, 312 and joining the faces of the yoke 401 thus serves to guide the plate 3 in rotation around a transverse axis relative to the base 400.
- the front base 300 has a lower support 301 for the sole 601 of a ski boot 6 of the user.
- This lower support 301 can be integrated or reported in any appropriate manner (for example by screwing) to the base before 300. It is conceivable that the lower support 301 is mounted to move on the base before 300 in order to accompany the sole 601 when
- the front stop 7 comprises a body 700.
- the body 700 has a flange 761 intended to be placed in line with a protuberance 602 formed in the front portion of the sole 601 of the shoe. 6, when it is held by the fastener 1.
- the front base 300 and the body 700 are rigidly connected, so that the vertical movements of the shoe 6 relative to each other. at the attachment 1 are clamped.
- the body 700 also defines the axial position of a shoe 6.
- the vertical spacing between the flange 761 and the lower support 301 substantially corresponds to the distance between the upper part of the protuberance 602 and the bottom of the sole 601, to a close game.
- This distance is standardized, both for an alpine ski boot and for a hiking boot.
- This gap is 19 ⁇ 1mm for a runway ski boot, and 28 ⁇ 3mm for a hiking shoe.
- this spacing is adjustable to be able to alternately use the safety binding either with an alpine ski boot or with a ski touring boot.
- the adjustable spacing also makes it possible to use shoes with protuberances according to new standards that may come into force.
- the Figures 4 and 5 illustrate an adjustment of the attachment 1 respectively for an alpine ski boot and for a ski touring boot.
- the attachment 1 has means for adjusting the spacing between the flange 761 and the lower support 301.
- the adjustment is generally done when the binding is set in track ski configuration.
- the reference frame of the plate is substantially the same as that of the ski.
- a screw 501 is mounted to rotate relative to the body 700.
- the screw 501 passes through a vertical bore 765 formed in the body 700.
- a circlip 504 is engaged in a groove of the screw 501.
- the circlip 504 interferes with the body 700 for coupling the screw 501 vertically to the body 700.
- the head of the screw 501 is in contact with a face 766 in the upper part of the body 700.
- a nut 503 is housed permanently in a slot of the base before 300.
- the screw 501 is coupled to the nut 503.
- the nut 503 is thus immobilized with respect to the front base 300.
- By screwing or unscrewing the screw 501 defines the vertical position of the body 700 relative to the front base 300.
- the body 700 is guided in vertical sliding relative to the front base 300 by different surfaces mutually in contact.
- the front base 300 comprises a wall 325 delimiting a volume 324 intended to receive the lower part of the body 700.
- the wall 325 has a flat front face 321 and flat lateral surfaces 322 delimiting this volume 324.
- the front base 300 also comprises a block 323.
- the block 323 comprises a bore 313 intended to be traversed by the screw 501.
- the lower part of the body 700 comprises a wall 755 housed in the volume 324.
- the wall 755 has a front face 751 coming into contact with the face 321.
- the wall 755 has lateral faces 752 coming into contact with the lateral faces 322.
- the wall 755 also delimits a cavity 754 intended to receive the block 323.
- Oblong bores 711 are formed in the wall 755 at the side faces 752.
- the oblong bores 711 extend vertically.
- the oblong bores are traversed by the shaft 502.
- the oblong bores 711 allow the body 700 to pivot relative to the axis 502, while being able to slide vertically with respect to the front base 300 and the shaft 502.
- the spacing between the flange 761 and the lower support 301 corresponds to an alpine ski boot.
- the shaft 502 is disposed at the top of the oblong bore 711.
- the spacing between the flange 761 and the lower support 301 corresponds to a ski touring boot.
- the shaft 502 is disposed in the bottom of the oblong bore 711.
- the adjustment of the spacing between the flange 761 and the lower support 301 is advantageously achieved by displacement of the front stop 7, the lower support 301 remaining for its part always at the same vertical position relative to the ski in the down position .
- Such a setting makes it possible to maintain the spacing between the ski and the foot of the user to an invariable and reduced value, which favors the driving of the ski in a downhill position.
- the head of the screw 501 is advantageously accessible vertically, at the upper part of the body 700. Such access allows easy adjustment of the spacing without interference with other components of the fastener 1.
- the figure 7 is a top view of the front portion of the attachment 1.
- the figure 8 is a sectional view from above of the same front portion of the attachment 1.
- the body 700 is provided with a housing 728.
- a helical compression spring 726 is disposed transversely in the housing 728.
- the ends of the spring 726 are in contact with respective pistons 707 and 708 disposed at respective transverse ends of the spring 726.
- the pistons 707 and 708 are slidably mounted in the housing 728.
- the pistons 707 and 708 serve as seats at the ends of the spring 726.
- Levers 701 and 702 are pivotally mounted about vertical axes 703, 704 with respect to the body 700.
- the vertical axes 703 and 704 are constituted by shafts passing respectively through bores 763 and 764 formed in the body 700.
- the levers 701 and 702 are arranged on either side of the protrusion 602 before the sole 601 in the holding position.
- the levers 701 and 702 respectively comprise cam portions 715 and 716 projecting from their pivot axes 703 and 704.
- the levers 701 and 702 respectively comprise parts 717 and 718 for the lateral retention of the protrusion 602.
- the parts cam 715 and 716 and the lateral holding portions 717 and 718 are disposed on either side respectively axes 703 and 704.
- Pistons 707 and 708 have guide faces. These guide faces are maintained in contact respectively against the cam parts 715 and 716 by the return force exerted by the spring 726.
- the corresponding lever pivots about its axis. During this pivoting, the cam portion of the lever biases the contact face of the corresponding piston. The piston is then slidably urged to urge one end of the spring 726. The spring 726 is then compressed sufficiently to allow additional pivoting of the lever, thus allowing the release of the protuberance 602 of the boot 6.
- the attachment 1 illustrated is provided with a device for adjusting a preload of the spring 726.
- the adjustment of the preload of the spring 726 makes it possible to define the release threshold of the front stop 1.
- the adjustment of the prestressing is carried out by the The intermediate of a screw 720.
- the adjustment of the prestressing is known in itself to the skilled person and will not be detailed further.
- the disposition of the spring 726 inside the body 700 and in the transverse position has a certain number of advantages.
- Such an arrangement allows on the one hand to bring closer to the lower support 301 of the ski, avoiding a provision of the spring under this support.
- driving the ski downhill position is optimized.
- the distance between the ski and the support 301 can thus be less than 30mm, preferably less than 28mm, and optimally less than 26mm.
- Such an arrangement also makes it possible to obtain a stop before 7 having a particularly small axial space requirement.
- the forward travel can thus be optimized, which improves the user-friendliness in the climb position.
- the figure 9 is a perspective view of two components of the front part of a binding 1 for the practice of ski trail.
- a fastener 1 does not have means allowing the pivot about a transverse axis and therefore does not allow the climb.
- Only the body 700 of the front stop 7 is illustrated.
- the stop before 7 is also identical to the stop before the embodiment of the Figures 1 to 8 and will not be detailed further.
- the abutment 7 comprises in particular a set screw held by a circlip.
- the attachment 1 comprises a front base or front base 300 intended to be fixed to the ski by a recess connection.
- the base 300 has rear holes 341 and front holes 342 to be traversed by fixing screws.
- the front base 300 has a support 301 in its rear part, intended to form a lower stop for the shoe 6 of a user.
- the front base 300 has a flat lower bearing surface 340 for distributing the forces transmitted by the user to the ski.
- the body 700 is guided in vertical sliding relative to the front base 300 by different surfaces mutually in contact.
- the front base 300 comprises a wall 325 delimiting a volume 324 intended to receive the lower part of the body 700.
- the wall 325 has a flat front face 321 and flat lateral surfaces 322 delimiting this volume 324.
- the front base 300 also comprises a block 323.
- the block 323 has a bore 313 to be traversed by the screw 501.
- the wall 755 of the body 700 is housed in the volume 324.
- the front face 751 comes into contact with the face 321.
- the side faces 752 come into contact with the side faces 322
- the cavity 754 of the body 700 receives the block 323.
- the wall 325 comprises bores 311 and 312 passing through its lateral faces 322. These bores 311 and 312 are traversed by an unillustrated shaft, also passing through the oblong bores 711 of the body 700.
- the only degree of freedom of the body 700 is vertical sliding.
- An unillustrated nut is housed permanently in a slot of the front base 300, in line with the bore 313.
- the adjusting screw is coupled to the nut. By screwing or unscrewing the adjustment screw, the vertical position of the body 700 with respect to the front base 300 is defined.
- Such a fastener 1 has advantages similar to those of the hiking attachment illustrated in FIGS. Figures 1 to 8 .
- This attachment thus has a front base 300 provided with a support 301 at a very short distance from the ski. The distance between the foot and the ski is thus reduced, which favors an optimal driving of the ski.
- the height adjustment between the support 301 and the flange 761 makes it possible to use other types of shoes, in particular if the norm concerning the dimensions of the protuberance before 602 were to evolve.
- new thicker protuberances be marketed for the runway ski boots.
- Such protuberances 602 have in particular an inclined lower face, with a thinned end. Such protuberances 602 would facilitate walking, favoring a course of the foot.
- the safety binding 1 for downhill skiing can advantageously share many components with the ski touring attachment shown in FIGS. Figures 1 to 8 .
- the front stop 7, including the body 700, the spring 726, the height adjustment mechanism and the fins 701 and 702, can be integrated indifferently in a safety binding for downhill skiing or a safety binding for ski touring.
- the front base 300 is always linked to the ski.
- the front base 300 rotates relative to the ski, thanks to a pivot connection between the front base 300 and the plate 400 directly attached to the ski.
- the front base 300 is directly attached to the ski, thanks to a connection type embedding.
- the vertical sliding of the body relative to the front base 300 is a movement to change the spacing between the stop upper 761 and the lower support 301. This spacing does not vary in use once set.
- the lower support 301 is preferably secured to the front base 300 which allows a direct adjustment of the spacing because the position of the upper stop 761, supported by the body 700, is adjustable relative to the front base 300.
- the screw 501 is also used to secure a friction piece with the body 700 of the abutment.
- a friction piece is made of a suitable material, that is to say, having a good coefficient of friction with a conventional constituent material of a shoe.
- a suitable material is, for example, POM.
- the body 700, for its part, must be stronger and is generally made of a polyamide loaded with glass fibers, having a coefficient of friction less favorable.
- the friction piece must not be easily detached from the body. This involves additional means of anchoring the friction piece on the body.
- the proposed solution in this case, is compact and dimensionally optimized since it does not require specific anchoring means for the friction piece, the fastening of this part being provided by the screw 501 also used for height adjustment. of the body 700 of the stop.
- the friction piece may comprise a perforated plate with a hole slightly greater than the diameter of the screw 501, the plate being intended to be housed in a slot of the body 700 transverse to the vertical bore 765. Once assembled on the body, the hole of the perforated plate is aligned with the bore 765. Thus, when the screw 501 is mounted in the body, it prevents the withdrawal of the perforated plate and thus secures the friction piece with the body 700.
- the invention also relates to skis equipped with bindings as described above.

L'invention concerne les fixations dites de sécurité pour la pratique du ski, et en particulier les fixations de sécurité comportant un réglage pour accueillir des chaussures présentant des protubérances de maintien de différentes épaisseurs.The invention relates to so-called safety fasteners for the practice of skiing, and in particular the safety fasteners comprising an adjustment to accommodate shoes having holding protrusions of different thicknesses.
Une fixation de sécurité pour la pratique du ski doit permettre la libération du pied de l'utilisateur pour éviter de blesser celui-ci lors d'un mouvement transversal accidentel de son pied, rencontré par exemple à l'occasion d'une chute ou de manière générale, pour éviter que celui-ci ne se blesse lorsque les efforts exercés sur la chaussure dépassent des valeurs préalablement déterminés.A safety binding for the practice of skiing must allow the release of the user's foot to avoid hurting the user during an accidental transverse movement of his foot, encountered for example during a fall or fall. In general, to prevent it from being injured when the forces exerted on the shoe exceed previously determined values.
Les fixations de sécurité pour la pratique du ski de randonnée doivent notamment répondre à ces contraintes de libération. Une fixation de ski de randonnée doit par ailleurs permettre une rotation de la chaussure autour d'un axe transversal au ski situé à l'avant de la chaussure durant les montées, de façon à rendre possible un éloignement du talon de l'utilisateur par rapport au ski pour exercer un effort optimal de poussée. Une telle fixation doit également permettre d'absorber des efforts de torsion importants entre la chaussure et le ski durant les phases de descente.The safety bindings for the practice of ski touring must in particular respond to these release constraints. A ski touring binding must also allow rotation of the boot around an axis transverse to the ski located at the front of the boot during the climbs, so as to make possible a distance of the heel of the user compared skiing to exert optimum thrust effort. Such a binding must also make it possible to absorb significant torsional forces between the boot and the ski during the downhill phases.
La fixation de ski de randonnée commercialisée sous la référence Diamir Freeride par la société Fritschi comprend une platine montée pivotante par rapport à une embase avant. L'embase avant est destinée à être fixée de façon rigide au ski. La fixation comprend également une embase arrière destinée à être fixée de façon rigide au ski. La platine est sélectivement libérée ou fixée sur l'embase arrière. Une butée avant est montée pivotante autour d'un axe vertical sur l'extrémité avant de la platine. La butée avant présente un corps s'allongeant latéralement pour former deux ailettes de maintien transversal du pied. Une butée arrière est fixée sur l'extrémité arrière de la platine.The ski touring binding marketed under the reference Diamir Freeride by the company Fritschi comprises a pivotally mounted plate relative to a front base. The front base is intended to be fixed rigidly to the ski. The binding also comprises a rear base intended to be fixed rigidly to the ski. The plate is selectively released or fixed on the rear base. A front stop is pivotally mounted about a vertical axis on the front end of the plate. The front stop has a laterally elongate body to form two transverse holding fins of the foot. A backgauge is fixed on the rear end of the plate.
Le corps de la butée avant étant relativement compact et dans une position relativement élevée, il permet un pivotement assez important de la platine en position de montée.The body of the front stop being relatively compact and in a relatively high position, it allows a relatively large pivoting of the plate in the up position.
Un ressort est logé à l'intérieur de l'extrémité avant de la platine. Le ressort rappelle le corps de butée avant vers une position de retenue du pied de l'utilisateur. Le ressort définit l'effort transversal du pied de l'utilisateur au-delà duquel la chaussure de l'utilisateur est libérée par la butée avant. La chaussure repousse alors l'une des ailettes et fait pivoter le corps de butée avant jusqu'à sa libération.A spring is housed inside the front end of the plate. The spring recalls the front stop body to a position of retaining the user's foot. The spring defines the transverse force of the user's foot beyond which the shoe of the user is released by the front stop. The shoe then pushes one of the fins and rotates the front stop body until it is released.
Le maintien vertical de la chaussure par la butée avant est obtenu par blocage d'une protubérance avant entre deux appuis. A cet effet, la protubérance avant est maintenue entre un rebord du corps formant une butée supérieure, et une surface d'appui ménagée dans la platine et formant une butée inférieure. Les chaussures de randonnée et les chaussures de ski de piste présentent des protubérances avant d'épaisseurs distinctes. Afin de permettre d'utiliser cette fixation à la fois avec des chaussures de randonnée et des chaussures de ski de piste, le corps de la butée avant est monté coulissant verticalement par rapport à la platine. La rotation d'une vis de réglage permet d'abaisser ou de relever le corps de butée avant par rapport à la platine.The vertical support of the boot by the front stop is obtained by blocking a protuberance before between two supports. For this purpose, the front protuberance is held between a flange of the body forming an upper stop, and a bearing surface formed in the plate and forming a lower stop. The shoes of hiking and trail ski boots have protuberances before separate thicknesses. In order to allow this attachment to be used both with hiking boots and track ski boots, the body of the front stop is slidably mounted vertically relative to the plate. The rotation of a set screw makes it possible to lower or raise the front stop body relative to the plate.
Cette fixation ne garantit pas un guidage optimal du ski en position de descente. En effet, l'appui de la platine formant la butée inférieure est à une distance de 40 mm par rapport à la surface du ski afin de favoriser un pivotement vers l'avant de la platine. La chaussure de ski est alors maintenue dans une position relativement élevée, défavorable au guidage du ski. Aucune solution connue ne permet d'envisager un rabaissement de l'appui de la platine sans altérer l'encombrement de la butée avant et la capacité de basculement de cette butée avant en position de montée.This attachment does not guarantee optimal guidance of the ski in the downhill position. Indeed, the support of the plate forming the lower stop is at a distance of 40 mm from the surface of the ski to promote a forward pivoting of the plate. The ski boot is then maintained in a relatively high position, unfavorable to the guiding of the ski. No known solution allows to consider a lowering of the platen support without altering the size of the front stop and the tilting capacity of the front stop in the up position.
Par ailleurs, des fixations de ski de randonnée et des fixations de ski de piste présentent des contraintes d'utilisation aboutissant à des conceptions assez différentes. Il s'avère ainsi délicat de concevoir des composants communs à ces différentes fixations, ce qui limite la possibilité de faire des économies d'échelle lors de leur fabrication.Moreover, ski touring bindings and downhill ski bindings present use constraints resulting in quite different designs. It is thus difficult to design components common to these different fasteners, which limits the possibility of economies of scale during their manufacture.

Selon une autre variante, la course de réglage de la position verticale du corps permet de définir sélectivement un écartement soit inférieur à 19mm soit supérieur à 30mm entre la butée supérieure et l'appui inférieur.According to another variant, the adjustment stroke of the vertical position of the body allows to selectively define a spacing is less than 19mm or greater than 30mm between the upper stop and the lower support.
Selon encore une variante, la fixation est destinée à la pratique du ski de randonnée, et comprend en outre une platine dont la partie avant est montée pivotante par rapport à une embase, destinée à être fixée au ski, avant entre une position de montée et une position de descente, le corps étant monté coulissant verticalement sur la platine.According to another variant, the binding is intended for the practice of ski touring, and further comprises a plate whose front portion is pivotally mounted relative to a base, intended to be fixed to the ski, before a climb position and a descent position, the body being mounted sliding vertically on the plate.
Selon une autre variante, la distance entre la face supérieure de l'appui inférieur et un ski sur lequel la fixation est fixée est inférieure à 30mm, de préférence inférieure à 28mm, et avantageusement inférieure à 26mm.According to another variant, the distance between the upper face of the lower support and a ski on which the attachment is fixed is less than 30mm, preferably less than 28mm, and preferably less than 26mm.
Selon encore une autre variante, le dispositif de réglage comprend une vis dont la tête est accessible dans la partie supérieure du corps et un élément fileté fixé à la platine, la vis étant montée pivotante par rapport au corps et vissée dans l'élément fileté.According to yet another variant, the adjusting device comprises a screw whose head is accessible in the upper part of the body and a threaded element fixed to the plate, the screw being pivotally mounted relative to the body and screwed into the threaded element.
Selon une variante, la fixation comprend en outre une embase arrière destinée être fixée au ski, et un mécanisme permettant de fixer et de libérer alternativement l'embase arrière et la partie arrière de la platine.Alternatively, the attachment further comprises a rear base to be fixed to the ski, and a mechanism for securing and releasing alternately the rear base and the rear portion of the plate.
Selon encore une variante, la fixation comprend une talonnière montée sur l'embase arrière et destinée à se fixer à l'embase arrière dans une position de descente.According to another variant, the attachment comprises a heel mounted on the rear base and intended to be fixed to the rear base in a down position.
Selon une autre variante, la course de pivotement de la platine par rapport à l'embase avant est supérieure ou égale à 80°, de préférence supérieure ou égale à 85°, et avantageusement supérieure ou égale à 90°.According to another variant, the pivoting stroke of the plate relative to the front base is greater than or equal to 80 °, preferably greater than or equal to 85 °, and preferably greater than or equal to 90 °.
Selon encore une autre variante, le corps présente une partie saillante dans sa partie inférieure, et le socle avant comporte un logement présentant une forme complémentaire de celle de la partie saillante de façon à guider le corps selon son coulissement vertical.According to another variant, the body has a projecting portion in its lower part, and the front base comprises a housing having a shape complementary to that of the protruding portion so as to guide the body according to its vertical sliding.
Selon une variante, la fixation est destinée à la pratique du ski de piste, le socle avant (300) est destinée à être fixée au ski.According to one variant, the binding is intended for the practice of downhill skiing, the front base (300) is intended to be fixed to the ski.
Selon une autre variante, le socle avant guide le corps selon son coulissement vertical.According to another variant, the front base guides the body according to its vertical sliding.

La platine 3 comprend un socle avant 300 formant son extrémité avant et monté pivotant par rapport à l'embase 400 autour d'un axe transversal. Une butée avant 7 est fixée sur le socle avant 300. La platine 3 comprend également un socle arrière 360 formant son extrémité arrière. Une talonnière 8 est fixée de façon connue en soi sur le socle arrière 360 et est destinée à immobiliser le talon de l'utilisateur. Le socle arrière 360 comporte un rail 201 et une indentation (non illustrée) permettant respectivement de faire coulisser la talonnière 8 et de l'immobiliser par rapport à la platine 3. Un tel réglage est connu en soi de l'homme du métier et ne sera pas détaillé davantage. La butée avant 7 et la talonnière 8 sont ainsi décalées axialement (la direction axiale de la platine 3 est illustrée par la droite en trait discontinu 91) pour permettre l'insertion d'une chaussure de l'utilisateur. Le socle avant 300 et le socle arrière 360 sont solidarisés par l'intermédiaire d'un organe de liaison 200.The plate 3 comprises a

Comme illustré à la
Le socle avant 300 présente un appui inférieur 301 pour la semelle 601 d'une chaussure de ski 6 de l'utilisateur. Cet appui inférieur 301 peut-être intégré ou rapporté de toute manière appropriée (par exemple par vissage) au socle avant 300. On peut envisager que l'appui inférieur 301 soit monté mobile sur le socle avant 300 afin de pouvoir accompagner la semelle 601 lors d'une libération de la chaussure 6. La butée avant 7 comprend un corps 700. Le corps 700 comporte un rebord 761 destiné à être placé à l'aplomb d'une protubérance 602 ménagée dans la partie avant de la semelle 601 de la chaussure 6, lorsque celle-ci est maintenue par la fixation 1. Durant l'utilisation de la fixation de sécurité 1, le socle avant 300 et le corps 700 sont liés de façon rigide, de sorte que les mouvements verticaux de la chaussure 6 par rapport à la fixation 1 sont bridés. Le corps 700 définit également la position axiale d'une chaussure 6.The
L'écartement vertical entre le rebord 761 et l'appui inférieur 301 correspond sensiblement à la distance entre la partie supérieure de la protubérance 602 et le fond de la semelle 601, à un jeu près. Cette distance est standardisée, à la fois pour une chaussure de ski alpin et pour une chaussure de randonnée. Cet écartement est de 19±1mm pour une chaussure de ski de piste, et de 28±3mm pour une chaussure de randonnée. Selon l'invention, cet écartement est réglable pour pouvoir utiliser alternativement la fixation de sécurité soit avec une chaussure de ski alpin, soit avec une chaussure de ski de randonnée. L'écartement réglable permet également d'utiliser des chaussures munies de protubérances selon de nouvelles normes pouvant entrer en vigueur.The vertical spacing between the

En pratique, le réglage se fait généralement quand la fixation est réglée en configuration ski de piste. Ainsi, le référentiel de la platine est sensiblement le même que celui du ski.In practice, the adjustment is generally done when the binding is set in track ski configuration. Thus, the reference frame of the plate is substantially the same as that of the ski.
Une vis 501 est montée à rotation par rapport au corps 700. A cet effet, la vis 501 traverse un alésage vertical 765 ménagé dans le corps 700. Un circlips 504 est engagé dans une gorge de la vis 501. Le circlips 504 interfère avec le corps 700 pour accoupler la vis 501 verticalement au corps 700. La tête de la vis 501 est en contact avec une face 766 dans la partie supérieure du corps 700.A
Un écrou 503 est logé à demeure dans une fente du socle avant 300. La vis 501 est accouplée à l'écrou 503. L'écrou 503 est ainsi immobilisé par rapport au socle avant 300. Par vissage ou dévissage de la vis 501, on définit la position verticale du corps 700 par rapport au socle avant 300.A
Le corps 700 est guidé en coulissement vertical par rapport au socle avant 300 par différentes surfaces mutuellement en contact. Comme illustré à la
Des alésages oblongs 711 sont ménagés dans la paroi 755 au niveau des faces latérales 752. Les alésages oblongs 711 s'étendent verticalement. Les alésages oblongs sont traversés par l'arbre 502. Les alésages oblongs 711 permettent au corps 700 de pivoter par rapport à l'axe 502, tout en pouvant coulisser verticalement par rapport au socle avant 300 et à l'arbre 502.Oblong bores 711 are formed in the
Dans l'exemple de la
Le réglage de l'écartement entre le rebord 761 et l'appui inférieur 301 est avantageusement réalisé par déplacement de la butée avant 7, l'appui inférieur 301 restant pour sa part toujours à une même position verticale par rapport au ski en position de descente. Un tel réglage permet de maintenir l'écartement entre le ski et le pied de l'utilisateur à une valeur invariable et réduite, ce qui favorise la conduite du ski en position de descente.The adjustment of the spacing between the
Comme illustré, la tête de la vis 501 est avantageusement accessible verticalement, au niveau de la partie supérieure du corps 700. Un tel accès permet un réglage aisé de l'écartement sans interférences avec d'autres composants de la fixation 1.As illustrated, the head of the

Les leviers 701 et 702 sont disposés de part et d'autre de la protubérance avant 602 de la semelle 601 en position de maintien. Les leviers 701 et 702 comportent respectivement des parties de came 715 et 716 en saillie par rapport à leurs axes de pivotement 703 et 704. Les leviers 701 et 702 comportent respectivement des parties 717 et 718 pour le maintien latéral de la protubérance 602. Les parties de came 715 et 716 et les parties de maintien latéral 717 et 718 sont disposées de part et d'autre respectivement des axes 703 et 704.The
Les pistons 707 et 708 présentent des faces de guidage. Ces faces de guidage sont maintenues en contact respectivement contre les parties de cames 715 et 716 par l'effort de rappel exercé par le ressort 726.
Lorsque la chaussure 6 exerce sur une partie de maintien latéral un effort transversal dépassant un seuil de déclenchement, le levier correspondant pivote autour de son axe. Lors de ce pivotement, la partie de came du levier sollicite la face de contact du piston correspondant. Le piston est alors entraîné en coulissement pour solliciter une extrémité du ressort 726. Le ressort 726 est alors comprimé suffisamment pour permettre un pivotement supplémentaire du levier, permettant ainsi la libération de la protubérance 602 de la chaussure 6.When the
La fixation 1 illustrée est munie d'un dispositif de réglage d'une précontrainte du ressort 726. Le réglage de la précontrainte du ressort 726 permet de définir le seuil de déchaussage de la butée avant 1. Le réglage de la précontrainte est effectué par l'intermédiaire d'une vis 720. Le réglage de la précontrainte est connu en soi de l'homme du métier et ne sera pas détaillé davantage.The attachment 1 illustrated is provided with a device for adjusting a preload of the
La disposition du ressort 726 à l'intérieur du corps 700 et en position transversale présente un certain nombre d'avantages. Une telle disposition permet d'une part de rapprocher au maximum l'appui inférieur 301 du ski, en évitant une disposition du ressort sous cet appui. Ainsi, la conduite du ski en position de descente est optimisée. La distance entre le ski et l'appui 301 peut ainsi être inférieure à 30mm, de préférence inférieure à 28mm, et de façon optimale inférieure à 26mm. Une telle disposition permet d'autre part d'obtenir une butée avant 7 présentant un encombrement axial particulièrement réduit. Le débattement vers l'avant peut ainsi être optimisé, ce qui améliore l'agrément d'utilisation en position de montée. On peut notamment prévoir une course de rotation de la platine 3 d'au moins 80°, de préférence supérieure ou égale à 85°, et avantageusement supérieure ou égale à 90°, particulièrement avantageuse en position de montée de la fixation 1.The disposition of the

Le corps 700 est guidé en coulissement vertical par rapport au socle avant 300 par différentes surfaces mutuellement en contact. Le socle avant 300 comporte une paroi 325 délimitant un volume 324 destiné à recevoir la partie inférieure du corps 700. La paroi 325 comporte une face avant 321 plane et des surfaces latérales 322 planes délimitant ce volume 324. Le socle avant 300 comporte également un bloc 323. Le bloc 323 comporte un alésage 313 destiné à être traversé par la vis 501. La paroi 755 du corps 700 se loge dans le volume 324. La face avant 751 vient en contact avec la face 321. Les faces latérales 752 viennent en contact avec les faces latérales 322. La cavité 754 du corps 700 reçoit le bloc 323. La paroi 325 comporte des alésages 311 et 312 traversant ses faces latérales 322. Ces alésages 311 et 312 sont traversés par un arbre non illustré, traversant également les alésages oblongs 711 du corps 700.The
Ainsi, une fois que le corps 700 est assemblé au socle avant 300, le seul degré de liberté du corps 700 est un coulissement vertical. Un écrou non illustré est logé à demeure dans une fente du socle avant 300, à l'aplomb de l'alésage 313. La vis de réglage est accouplée à l'écrou. Par vissage ou dévissage de la vis de réglage, on définit la position verticale du corps 700 par rapport au socle avant 300.Thus, once the

Le socle avant 300 est toujours lié au ski. Dans le premier mode de réalisation des
Au sens de l'invention, le coulissement vertical du corps par rapport au socle avant 300 est un mouvement permettant de modifier l'écartement entre la butée supérieur 761 et l'appui inférieur 301. Cet écartement ne varie pas en usage une fois réglé.Within the meaning of the invention, the vertical sliding of the body relative to the
L'appui inférieur 301 est préférentiellement solidaire du socle avant 300 ce qui permet un réglage direct de l'écartement du fait que la position de la butée supérieur 761, supporté par le corps 700, est réglable par rapport au socle avant 300.The
Avantageusement, la vis 501 est également utilisée pour solidariser une pièce de frottement avec le corps 700 de la butée. En effet, pour assurer le bon déclenchement latéral de la chaussure en cas de choc afin de répondre aux exigences normatives, il est nécessaire que l'extrémité avant de la chaussure puisse glisser transversalement par rapport au corps 700. Pour cela, il faut qu'au niveau de la zone de frottement entre la chaussure et le corps 700, le glissement soit facilité. Pour cela, une solution consiste à incorporer une pièce de frottement dans cette zone du corps 700. Cette pièce de frottement est constituée d'un matériau adapté, c'est-à-dire, ayant un bon coefficient de frottement avec un matériau usuel constitutif d'une chaussure. Un matériau adapté est, par exemple, du POM. Le corps 700, quant à lui, doit être plus résistant et est généralement constitué d'un polyamide chargé de fibres de verre, ayant un coefficient de frottement moins favorable.Advantageously, the
Pour des raisons de sécurité et normatives, la pièce de frottement ne doit pas se désolidariser facilement du corps. Cela implique des moyens d'ancrage supplémentaires de la pièce de frottement sur le corps. La solution proposée, dans le cas présent, est compacte et optimisée dimensionnellement puisqu'elle ne nécessite pas de moyens d'ancrage spécifique pour la pièce de frottement, la solidarisation de cette pièce étant assurée par la vis 501 également utilisée pour le réglage en hauteur du corps 700 de la butée.For safety and normative reasons, the friction piece must not be easily detached from the body. This involves additional means of anchoring the friction piece on the body. The proposed solution, in this case, is compact and dimensionally optimized since it does not require specific anchoring means for the friction piece, the fastening of this part being provided by the
Concrètement, la pièce de frottement peut comprendre une plaque perforée d'un trou légèrement supérieur au diamètre de la vis 501, la plaque étant destinée à se loger dans une fente du corps 700 transversale à l'alésage vertical 765. Une fois assemblée sur le corps, le trou de la plaque perforée est aligné avec l'alésage 765. Ainsi, lorsque la vis 501 est montée dans le corps, celle-ci empêche le retrait de la plaque perforée et solidarise donc la pièce de frottement avec le corps 700.Specifically, the friction piece may comprise a perforated plate with a hole slightly greater than the diameter of the
