Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a gliding device adapted for the practice of ski touring.
  • the climbing phases require a fixation of the ski boot functionally very different from the downhill phases. This results in requirements in terms of safety and holding of the binding and kinematics of the shoe variable from one phase to another.
  • the binding must ensure a very good support of the boot on the ski with, preferably, triggering the binding in case of a fall so as not to hurt the skier.
  • it is necessary to allow a rotation of the boot around a transverse axis substantially at the front of the sole of the shoe. The shoe is therefore not immobilized with respect to the ski and there is no need to trigger the attachment uphill.
  • a first solution is to adapt a binding designed for descent.
  • This attachment is assembled on a rotary plate which is released, during the phases of rise, and blocked, during the phases of descent. As a result, it is the same retainers of the shoe that are used uphill and downhill.
  • a disadvantage of this design is that, generally, these restraints are relatively heavy to move, during climbing phases. Such fastenings are described in the documents EP-A-1438993 , DE-10 2007 038506 or EP-A-2 399 654 .
  • a second solution is to adapt a fastener designed for climbing.
  • the abutment is lightened and incorporates a hooking mechanism of the shoe defining a hinge axis around which pivots the boot when climbing.
  • the shoe is held at the front by the same stop and, at the rear, by a complementary heel. Lateral release is usually performed by the heel.
  • the design of the stop must meet the requirements for holding during the descent phases which makes it complex and weighs down the device.
  • a third alternative solution proposes fasteners having two separate stops, one being dedicated to climbing, the other being dedicated to the descent.
  • the document EP-A-0 620 029 describes a thrust piece ensuring the climbing stop and a clamp-sole forming the abutment stop.
  • the sole clamp consists of a clamping bracket that folds between the stopper and the rear retainer. This solution involves, during the climbing phases, to accommodate the abutment of descent under the shoe. Thus, this configuration imposes a positioning of the upper shoe, by compared to the sole of the ski, when climbing. This positioning height of the shoe is unfavorable for the stability and support of the skier.
  • the document FR-A-2,567,409 discloses another variant incorporating a configurable front retainer comprising a lever mechanism for alternately activating a mounting stop or a stopper.
  • the downstop incorporates a lateral release mechanism which weighs down the front restraint. To make active one of the two stops, the mechanism causes the displacement of the stops which makes it relatively complex. The activation of a stop acts on the withdrawal of the other and vice versa.
  • the kinematics of the climbing abutment is complex because the arms, including points cooperating with the sole to form the axis of articulation of the shoe, move, both longitudinally and transversely (bringing points together). The abutment of descent rotates about an axis transverse to the ski.
  • the stop in the inactive position, extends vertically (rotation of 90 °).
  • This constraint is disadvantageous because it hinders the rotation of the boot during the climbing phases, it can hardly rotate more than 45 ° because the retracted stop limit this rotation.
  • This fixation is therefore not optimum for the climbing phases where the skier needs to rotate his shoe with respect to skiing more than 65 °.
  • the front retainer In the mounted configuration, the front retainer is unsightly, cumbersome. In addition, it can be offensive or accumulate snow which can disrupt the operation of the lever mechanism.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a gliding machine with fasteners solving the previous problems.
  • One goal is to offer an improved gliding gear that optimizes both the ascent and descent.
  • Another goal is to facilitate the configuration of the gliding device for climbing or descent.
  • Another goal is to provide a compact and easy to use switchable attachment.
  • the invention provides a gliding apparatus comprising a gliding board, a first front retainer for a shoe provided for climbing the slope and a second front retainer of said shoe intended for the descent.
  • the first front retainer comprises a first attachment mechanism of the shoe defining a hinge axis about which pivots the shoe during the climb.
  • the second front retainer comprises a second attachment mechanism of the shoe comprising a movable part incorporating an interface surface adapted to come into contact with a front part of the boot, the movable part being distinct from the first attachment mechanism.
  • the second front retainer is configurable in a first configuration, said inactive, for which the interface surface is remote from the front part of the shoe and a second configuration, said active, for which the interface surface is in contact with the front part of the shoe.
  • the gliding apparatus is characterized in that the first attachment mechanism of the boot is able to cooperate with the moving part of the second front retainer so as to maintain the second front retainer in its active configuration.
  • This construction makes it possible to have a gliding machine comprising two compact interchangeable front retainers.
  • the use of the attachment mechanism of the first retainer is optimized since it allows, on the one hand, to actuate the first front retainer and secondly, to hold in position the second front retainer in active configuration. Ergonomics for locking the second retainer in its active configuration is then simple and intuitive. Indeed, the user needs to use only one simple mechanism: the attachment mechanism of the first retainer.
  • FIGS. 1 to 9 illustrate some specific features of construction of the invention and in particular the arrangement and kinematics envisaged for the two restraint devices prior to the invention, a device being designed for the ascent of slope and the other for the descent of slope.
  • the figure 10 represents a construction similar to that illustrated in Figures 1 to 7 but incorporating the specificity for maintaining the second retainer in its active configuration.
  • the figures 11 and 12 represent a second embodiment of the invention.
  • the invention is illustrated through a gliding apparatus 1 comprising a gliding board 2 supporting a front retainer 4 of a shoe 3, designed for the climb, a front retainer 5 designed for the descent and a device rear retainer, not shown.
  • the ski touring boot 3, adapted for the gliding apparatus 1, comprises a sole 32, disposed under the foot, and an upper portion 33, called rod, covering the rest of the foot.
  • the sole 32 has a lower face 323 intended to be in contact with the ground or an element of the upper face of the ski board.
  • the sole In its front portion, the sole extends slightly forwardly relative to the rod 33, thus forming a front edge.
  • This front rim comprises an anterior face 321 and an upper face 322.
  • the anterior face 321 covers the edge of the rim and extends partially on the front part of the lateral vertical faces of the sole 32.
  • the rod 33 also comprises an anterior face 331 It covers the front of the rod and extends partially on the front part of the lateral vertical faces of the rod.
  • the illustrated hiking shoe further comprises two lateral housings 31a, 31b disposed on either side of the front portion of the sole 32 shoe 3 and aligned along an axis transverse to the longitudinal axis of the sole. These housings are cylindrical and intended to receive fastening members 41a, 41b of the stopper.
  • the first front retaining device 4 intended for mounting, comprises two attachment members 41a, 41b, with axes A41a, A41b, able to cooperate with two lateral housings 31a, 31b, with axes A31a, A31b, arranged on either side the front portion of the sole 32 of the boot 3.
  • This cooperation corresponds to the engagement of the upstop 4.
  • the axes A31a, A31b, A41a, A41b are substantially aligned along a hinge axis A transverse to the longitudinal axis of the gliding machine, when the stopper 4 is engaged.
  • the shoe 3 can then rotate around this axis of articulation A.
  • the axes A41a, A41b are not necessarily aligned.
  • the attachment members are movable transversely to the ski so as to bring them closer or apart. When they are close to each other, the attachment members can cooperate with the lateral housing. The stopper is then engaged. When they separate from each other, the attachment members do not cooperate with the lateral housing. The shoe is released. The climb stop is then triggered.
  • the mounting stopper 4 comprises an elastic means 45 exerting a spreading force or approximation on the fastening members 41a, 41b.
  • the attachment members 41a, 41b are cylindrical pins of axis A41a, A41b. Other fasteners may be considered as cones, points, domes ... Each alternative hook member takes a form of revolution.
  • Each pin 41a, 41b is mounted respectively on a bracket 42a, 42b.
  • Each bracket 42a, 42b is disposed at a side edge of the gliding board.
  • An arm 421a, 421b of the "L" of the bracket extends substantially towards the median part of the board while the other arm 422a, 422b of the "L” of the bracket extends substantially upwards, away from the board.
  • the two brackets 42a, 42b are arranged symmetrically with respect to the median plane P of the board. They are vis-à-vis.
  • Each pin 41a, 41b is fixed on the inner face of the arm 422a, 422b, that is to say the face oriented towards the middle part of the board. Each pin is also close to the free end of the arm 422a, 422b. Each pin 41a, 41b extends towards the middle part of the board.
  • Each bracket 42a, 42b also comprises a bore passing through the width of the bracket at the junction between its arms 421a / 422a, 421a / 422b.
  • Each bore 423a, 423b is intended to receive a shaft 43a, 43b, axis A43a, A43b, mounted on a yoke 44a, 44b.
  • the yoke 44a, 44b is arranged so that the axes A43a, A43b are substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis of the ski. Accordingly, each bracket 42a, 42b can pivot about the longitudinal axis A43a, A43b. These rotations make it possible to move the pins 41a, 41b towards each other or to move them away from one another.
  • the arms 421a, 421b are connected by the elastic means 45.
  • Two stable angular positions are sought: a setting position for which the pins 41a, 41b are able to cooperate with the lateral housings 31a, 31b and a rest position for which the pieces are sufficiently distant from each other to release the shoe 3.
  • the resilient means is a flexible metal blade, each end of which is respectively inserted into the arm 421a, 421b of the bracket 42a, 42b.
  • the metal blade whose resting length is greater than the distance separating the two arms 421a, 421b vis-à-vis when the brackets 42a, 42b are assembled respectively in their yoke 44a, 44b.
  • the metal blade will systematically seek a stable position where the length of the blade is its length of rest.
  • the stopper offers two stable positions corresponding to two flexions of the metal blade. In the first stable position, the blade is curved upwardly or outwardly of the board relative to a plane passing through the two axes A43a, A43b pivot brackets. In this configuration, the climb stop is triggered. The shoe is released.
  • This configuration is represented in figures 1 , 4 and 5 .
  • the stiffness and the rest length of the blade sizing the holding force of the attachment members on the shoe as well as the handling effort to actuate or trigger the climb stop.
  • the blade connecting the brackets may be carbon fiberglass.
  • the elastic means may be a helical spring.
  • the two brackets 42a, and 42b can be interconnected to form a single piece. The junction between the two brackets is then dimensioned so as to allow bending and sufficient energy to obtain the two stable positions described above.
  • the first attachment mechanism 40 of the shoe 3 therefore comprises the pins 41a, 41b, the brackets 42a, 42b, the shafts 43a, 43b, the clevises 44a, 44b and the metal blade 45.
  • a lock could complete the first mechanism to secure the maintenance in a stable configuration, for example, the climb configuration or the pawns must not deviate.
  • a circular plate-shaped lever 424 is attached to the "free" end of the arm 422b of one of the two brackets 42b.
  • This plate 424 extends the "free” end of the bracket and extending transversely outwardly of the board.
  • the plate is oriented to be parallel to the surface of the ski sole.
  • the plate 424 is slightly curved downwards and thus forms a hollow on its upper face, in order to receive the tip of a ski pole. Consequently, the skier, by pressing the plate with his stick, causes the rotation of a bracket 42b, in one direction, but also the rotation of the other bracket 42a, in the opposite direction, thanks to the metal blade 45 connecting the two squares. This action causes the spacing of the pins 41a, 41b and therefore the release of the shoe 3.
  • lever 424 provides the same effects.
  • the front retainer must include a first attachment mechanism of the boot defining a hinge axis about which pivots the shoe during the climb. Examples of applicable climb stop are illustrated in the documents EP-A-0 199 098 or FR-A-2 945 185 .
  • the attachment members may be on the shoe and the complementary housing at the stop of rise.
  • the attachment of the boot will be composed of a second front retainer 5 provided for the descent and a rear retainer, not shown. Only the stopper 5 will be detailed, the heel is not the subject of the invention.

  • the stem grip means that the jaw of the downstop comes into contact with the anterior face 331 of the upper 33 of the boot.
  • the jaw generally forms a "V" with each wing pressing on part of the anterior face 331.
  • the shoe is thus locked longitudinally and transversely at the level of the stop.
  • the sole grip is similar to the shank grip except that the jaw wings of the descent abutment press on the anterior face 321 of the sole 32 of the shoe. The contact between the downstop and the shoe is lower.
  • the downstop 5 resumes the operating principle of the rod grip.

  • the gliding device 1 will either be configured for the descent or configured for climbing. If the downstop is in its inactive configuration, the front of the boot will be retained by the climbing stop 4. If the downstop is in its active configuration, the front of the boot will be retained by the downstop 5.
  • the downstop 5 is activated when the interface surface 5121a, 5121b, 5122a, 5122b is in contact with the front part of the shoe as previously described. To change the configuration and deactivate the stop of downhill 5, simply move the interface surface away from the front of the shoe. For this, the part 51 integrating the interface surface is movable.
  • a shaft 515, of axis A515, is mounted clamping on the body 511 of the movable part 51.

Indeed, in these two specific positions, the support of one end of the spring 53 on one of the plates 5111, 5112 is more marked than for the other intermediate positions, which allows the indexing of the movable part 51.

  • To lock / unlock the moving part it is necessary, at the end of rotation backwards, slightly move the movable piece backwards so that the protrusion 542 can come to settle in the housing 5161.
  • the latch 516 is made of a material and is designed to facilitate the activation of the lock and / or to compensate for variations in the height of the sole H inherent to the manufacturing tolerance of the shoes 3.
  • This mechanism for securing the retention of the moving part 51 in its first position incorporating the latch 516 is optional in the case where it is provided that the first attachment mechanism 40 is able to cooperate with the moving part 51 so as to maintain the second retainer 5 in its active configuration. It could nevertheless be retained to improve the robustness of the attachment in the case where the first attachment mechanism would be defective. The latch would then maintain the second retainer 5 in its active configuration.
  • first and second front retainers are continuously secured to the gliding apparatus. This construction eliminates the risk of losing an element of the binding. The skier is sure to always have the appropriate fixation for each phase of the ski touring practiced, ascent or descent.
