Description

La présente invention concerne un système de fixation de chaussure sur une planche de surf des neiges et plus particulièrement sur une planche de surf des neiges de randonnée.The present invention relates to a shoe attachment system on a snowboard and more particularly on a board snowboard hiking.

Les planches de surf des neiges de randonnée ont la particularité d'être composés de deux sections de planches longitudinales qui forment, lorsqu'elles sont accolées, une planche de surf des neiges pour la descente de pentes enneigées. On parle alors de position de descente de la planche de surf des neiges de randonnée. Lorsque les deux sections de planches longitudinales sont détachées, elles forment deux skis de randonnée permettant la montée de pentes enneigées. On parle ici de position de randonnée de la planche de surf des neiges de randonnée.The snowboards for hiking snow have the distinction of being composed of two sections of longitudinal planks which form, when contiguous, a snowboard snowboard for the descent of snow-covered slopes. This is called the descent position of the snowboard hiking board. When the two sections of longitudinal planks are detached, they form two skis for hiking up snowy slopes. We are talking here about hiking position of snowboard hiking.

Généralement, la fixation des chaussures de surf des neiges sur une planche de surf des neiges de randonnée est réalisée au moyen d'une base configurée pour recevoir et maintenir chaque chaussure de surf des neiges, par exemple au moyen de sangles semi-rigides. La base comporte notamment un moyen de fixation, classiquement placé du côté orteil de la base, ce qui permet, en position de randonnée, de fixer la chaussure de surf des neiges sur une fixation standard de randonnée placée sur chaque sections de planches longitudinales.Generally, the attachment of the snowboard boots on a snowboard hiking is carried out by means of a base configured to receive and maintain each snowboard boot, for example by means of semi-rigid straps. The base comprises in particular a fastening means, conventionally placed on the toe side of the base, which allows, in the hiking position, to fix the snowboard boot on a standard binding of hiking placed on each section of longitudinal boards.

En position de descente, la fixation de la chaussure de surf des neiges est réalisée sur les deux sections de planche simultanément. Les demandes US5,984,324 ; US2010/0102522 et WO01/70349 montrent différents types de fixation de base sur une planche de surf des neiges de randonnée en position de descente. Ces demandes montrent notamment un système de fixation comportant une première interface fixée sur la planche de surf des neige et comportant deux demi-interfaces indépendantes et chacune fixée en vis-à-vis de l'autre sur une section de planche. Une seconde interface, placée sur la base, vient se fixer sur la première interface et fait la liaison entre les deux demi-interfaces en position de descente, permettant la fixation de la base sur la planche de surf des neiges et l'accolement et le maintien des sections de planche.In the downhill position, the binding of the snowboard boot is performed on both board sections simultaneously. The requests US5,984,324 ; US2010 / 0102522 and WO01 / 70349 show different types of basic fixation on a snowboard hiking snowboard in downhill position. These applications show in particular a fastening system comprising a first interface fixed to the snowboard and having two independent half-interfaces and each fixed vis-à-vis the other on a board section. A second interface, placed on the base, is fixed on the first interface and makes the connection between the two half-interfaces in the descent position, allowing the attachment of the base on the snowboard snowboard and the attachment and the maintaining board sections.

Les systèmes de fixation présentés dans les documents de l'art antérieur, ne sont cependant pas satisfaisants. En effet, ces systèmes peuvent présenter des éléments et pièces amovibles difficiles à manipulés avec des gants de ski et qui rendent le passage d'une position à une autre d'autant plus compliqué. De plus elles peuvent présenter des réglages de fixation restreints et compliqués, notamment en ce qui concerne l'application d'un angle de fixation par rapport à l'axe longitudinale de la planche de surf des neiges.The fastening systems presented in the documents of the prior art, however, are not satisfactory. Indeed, these systems may have removable elements and parts difficult to handle with ski gloves and make the transition from one position to another all the more complicated. In addition, they may have restricted and complicated fastening settings, in particular as regards the application of an angle of attachment relative to the longitudinal axis of the snowboard.

Ainsi, un des buts de l'invention est de remédier au moins partiellement aux inconvénients de l'art antérieur et de proposer un système de fixation de chaussure sur une planche de surf des neiges de randonnée, en position de descente, amélioré et d'utilisation aisée.Thus, one of the aims of the invention is to remedy at least partially the drawbacks of the prior art and to propose a shoe attachment system on a snowboard hiking, in a downhill position, improved and easy use.

La présente invention concerne donc un système de fixation adapté pour la fixation d'une chaussure sur une planche de surf des neiges de randonnée, ladite planche de surf des neiges comportant deux sections de planche longitudinales accolées l'une à l'autre en position de descente et détachées en position de randonnée,
ledit système de fixation étant configuré pour être utilisé en position de descente et comportant :

  • une base configurée pour recevoir et maintenir une chaussure de surf des neiges,
  • une première interface fixée sur la planche de surf des neiges comportant notamment deux demi-interfaces indépendantes chacune fixée en vis-à-vis de l'autre sur une section de planche,
  • une seconde interface, placée liée à la base et venant se fixer sur la première interface et faisant la liaison entre les deux demi-interfaces en position de descente,
de sorte que :
  • ∘ chaque demi-interface comportant au moins un élément de couplage comprenant un corps surmonté d'une tête de blocage plus large que ledit corps,
  • ∘ la seconde interface comportant au moins deux ouvertures de réception et de blocage des éléments de couplage, lesdites ouvertures de réception et de blocage comportant deux portions contigües, une première portion de largeur suffisante pour permettre à la tête de blocage de traverser l'ouverture de réception et de blocage et une seconde portion, de largeur inférieure à la première portion, ne permettant que le passage du corps,
  • ∘ la seconde interface comprenant en outre au moins un système de verrouillage d'au moins un élément de couplage au sein de son ouverture de réception et de blocage associée.
The present invention therefore relates to a fastening system adapted for attaching a boot to a snowboard for hiking snow, said snowboard comprising two longitudinal board sections contiguous to each other in the downhill position and detached in a hiking position,
said fastening system being configured to be used in a descent position and comprising:
  • a base configured to receive and maintain a snowboard boot,
  • a first interface attached to the snowboard comprising in particular two independent half-interfaces each fixed vis-à-vis the other on a board section,
  • a second interface, linked to the base and being fixed on the first interface and making the connection between the two half-interfaces in the descent position,
so that :
  • Each half-interface comprising at least one coupling element comprising a body surmounted by a blocking head wider than said body,
  • The second interface comprising at least two openings for receiving and blocking the coupling elements, said receiving and locking openings comprising two contiguous portions, a first portion of sufficient width to allow the blocking head to pass through the opening of receiving and blocking and a second portion, of width less than the first portion, allowing only the passage of the body,
  • The second interface further comprising at least one locking system of at least one coupling element within its associated receiving and locking aperture.

Cette configuration des première et seconde interfaces permet une fixation et un détachement de la base aisés, qui ne nécessite aucun outillage particulier et qui peut même être réalisé sans déchausser la chaussure de ladite base. De plus, le système de fixation comporte moins de pièces mobiles et exposées et donc il est moins sensible à la neige qui pourrait s'accumuler au niveau des premières et secondes interfaces et qui pourraient bloquer voir empêcher la fixation.This configuration of the first and second interfaces allows easy fixing and detachment of the base, which does not require any particular tools and which can even be done without taking off the shoe of said base. In addition, the fastening system has fewer moving parts and exposed and therefore it is less sensitive to snow that could accumulate at the first and second interfaces and that could block or prevent fixation.

Selon un aspect de l'invention les deux demi-interfaces comportant chacune au moins un décrochement, ledit au moins un décrochement d'une demi-interface étant complémentaire du au moins un décrochement de l'autre interface de sorte qu'en position de descente, lesdits au moins un décrochements s'emboitent.According to one aspect of the invention the two half-interfaces each comprising at least one recess, said at least one recess of a half-interface being complementary to the at least one recess of the other interface so that in the descent position said at least one recesses fit together.

Le au moins un décrochement sur chaque demi-interface permet de limiter les mouvements de cisaillement entre les sections de planche en position de descente et ainsi rigidifie la planche de surf des neiges de randonnée en position de descente.The at least one recess on each half-interface makes it possible to limit the shearing movements between the plank sections in the down position and thus stiffens the snowboard for hiking snow in a downhill position.

Selon un autre aspect de l'invention, les éléments de couplages ont une forme convergente situés sur un même axe et pointant dans la même direction et que les ouvertures de réception et de blocage ont également une forme sensiblement triangulaire.According to another aspect of the invention, the coupling elements have a convergent shape located on the same axis and pointing in the same direction and that the receiving and locking openings also have a substantially triangular shape.

Selon un autre aspect de l'invention, chaque demi-interface comporte une encoche en arc de cercle, lesdites encoches en arc de cercle étant concentriques et que les éléments de couplages comportent un moyen de serrage dans ladite encoche en arc de cercle permettant à l'état desserré son coulissement le long de ladite encoche en arc de cercle et bloquant à l'état serré ledit élément de couplage.According to another aspect of the invention, each half-interface comprises an arcuate notch, said arcuate notches being concentric and that the coupling elements comprise a clamping means in said notch in a circular arc allowing the state loosened its sliding along said arcuate notch and blocking said coupling element in a tight state.

Selon un autre aspect de l'invention, le système de verrouillage comporte au moins un doigt de verrouillage mobile autour d'un axe entre :

  • une position de verrouillage où une extrémité dudit doigt de verrouillage est en contact avec un élément de couplage de sorte à bloquer ce dernier à l'intérieur de son ouverture de réception et de blocage associée au niveau de sa seconde portion, et
  • une position de déverrouillage où l'extrémité dudit doigt de verrouillage s'écarte de l'élément de couplage, ce dernier pouvant accéder à la première portion de son ouverture de réception et de blocage associée depuis la seconde portion.
According to another aspect of the invention, the locking system comprises at least one movable locking finger about an axis between:
  • a locking position where one end of said locking finger is in contact with a coupling element so as to lock the latter inside its associated receiving and locking opening at its second portion, and
  • an unlocking position where the end of said locking finger deviates from the coupling element, the latter being able to access the first portion of its associated receiving and locking opening from the second portion.

Selon un autre aspect de l'invention, le au moins un doigt de verrouillage est en liaison avec une manette de déverrouillage commandant son passage de sa position de verrouillage à sa position de déverrouillage.According to another aspect of the invention, the at least one locking finger is connected to an unlocking lever controlling its passage from its locking position to its unlocking position.

Selon un autre aspect de l'invention, le système de verrouillage comporte en outre un élément élastique relié à au moins un doigt de verrouillage de sorte que ce dernier est ramené automatiquement en position de verrouillage.According to another aspect of the invention, the locking system further comprises a resilient element connected to at least one locking finger so that the latter is automatically returned to the locking position.

Selon un autre aspect de l'invention, la tête de blocage du au moins un élément de blocage, en liaison avec le au moins un doigt de verrouillage, comporte au moins un renfoncement de sorte que ledit élément de blocage puisse traverser l'ouverture de réception et de blocage alors que le au moins un doigt de blocage est en position de verrouillage.According to another aspect of the invention, the locking head of the at least one blocking element, in connection with the at least one locking pin, comprises at least one recess so that said blocking element can pass through the opening of receiving and locking while the at least one locking finger is in the locking position.

Selon un autre aspect de l'invention, le système de blocage comporte deux doigts de verrouillage assurant le verrouillage d'un même élément de blocage, leurs extrémités destinées à entrer en contact avec l'élément de blocage étant écartées l'une de l'autre en position de déverrouillage et rapprochées l'une de l'autre en position de verrouillage.According to another aspect of the invention, the locking system comprises two locking fingers ensuring the locking of the same locking element, their ends intended to come into contact with the locking element being spaced apart from one of the other in the unlocking position and brought closer to one another in the locked position.

Selon un autre aspect de l'invention, la seconde portion de l'ouverture de réception et de blocage est réalisée par fixation d'une butée à la seconde interface.According to another aspect of the invention, the second portion of the receiving and locking opening is made by fixing a stop at the second interface.

La présente invention concerne également une planche de surf des neiges comportant deux sections de planche longitudinales accolées l'une à l'autre en position de descente et détachées en position de randonnée comportant un système de fixation comme décrit précédemment pour chaque chaussure.The present invention also relates to a snowboard with two longitudinal board sections contiguous to each other in the down position and detached in the hiking position comprising a fastening system as described above for each shoe.

La présente invention concerne également un kit de fixation comprenant deux systèmes de fixation comme décrit précédemment et deux fixations standards de ski de randonnée.The present invention also relates to a fastening kit comprising two fastening systems as described above and two standard ski touring bindings.

La fixation des demi-interfaces 7a, 7b peut être réalisée par vissage sur des orifices taraudés 30 placés classiquement dans le domaine des fixations des planches de surf des neiges permettant de régler l'écartement entre les deux systèmes de fixations.The fastening system 1 also comprises a first interface 7 fixed to the snowboard 3, in particular comprising two independent half-interfaces 7a, 7b and each fixed in relation to the other on a board section 3a. , 3b. Each half-interface 7a, 7b comprises at least one coupling element 11. The fixing of the half-interfaces 7a, 7b can be carried out by screwing on tapped orifices 30 conventionally placed in the field of snowboard binding bindings making it possible to adjust the spacing between the two fastening systems.

Le système de fixation 1 comporte en outre une seconde interface 9, lié à la base 5 et venant se fixer sur la première interface 7 et faisant la liaison entre les deux demi-interfaces 7a, 7b en position de descente. La seconde interface 9 comporte au moins une ouverture de réception et de blocage 90 qui, en liaison avec le au moins un élément de couplage 11, permet la fixation de la première interface 7 avec la seconde interface et par conséquent la fixation de la base 5 avec la planche de surf des neiges 3.The fastening system 1 further comprises a second interface 9, connected to the base 5 and being fixed on the first interface 7 and making the connection between the two half-interfaces 7a, 7b in the descent position. The second interface 9 comprises at least one receiving and locking opening 90 which, in connection with the at least one coupling element 11, allows the attachment of the first interface 7 with the second interface and therefore the attachment of the base 5 with the snowboard 3.

La figure 2 montre en perspective une représentation d'une demi-interface 7a, 7b. La demi-interface 7a, 7b comportent au moins un décrochement 71, ledit au moins un décrochement 71 de la demi-interface 7a, 7b est complémentaire d'au moins un décrochement 71 porté par l'autre demi-interface 7a, 7b de sorte qu'en position de descente, lesdits au moins un décrochement 71 s'emboitent. Le au moins un décrochement 71 est réalisé sur une tranche de la demi-interface 7a, 7b qui est sensiblement parallèle aux côtés longitudinaux de la planche de surf des neiges 3.The figure 2 shows in perspective a representation of a half-interface 7a, 7b. The half-interface 7a, 7b comprise at least one recess 71, said at least one recess 71 of the half-interface 7a, 7b is complementary to at least one recess 71 carried by the other half-interface 7a, 7b so in downhill position, said at least one recess 71 fit together. The at least one recess 71 is formed on a slice of the half-interface 7a, 7b which is substantially parallel to the longitudinal sides of the snowboard 3.

Le au moins un décrochement 71 sur chaque demi-interface 7a, 7b, permet de limiter les mouvements de cisaillement entre les sections de planche 3a, 3b en position de descente et ainsi rigidifie la planche de surf des neiges de randonnée 3 en position de descente.The at least one recess 71 on each half-interface 7a, 7b makes it possible to limit the shearing movements between the plank sections 3a, 3b in the down position and thus stiffens the snowboard for hiking snow 3 in a downhill position. .

La demi-interface 7a, 7b comporte également au moins un élément de couplage 11. Ledit élément de couplage 11 comprend un corps 111 surmonté d'une tête de blocage 113 plus large que ledit corps 111. La demi-interface 7a, 7b comporte des orifices de fixation 75, préférentiellement quatre, qui permettent le passage d'une vis de fixation se vissant dans des orifices taraudés 33 d'une section de planche 3 a, 3b.The half-interface 7a, 7b also comprises at least one coupling element 11. Said coupling element 11 comprises a body 111 surmounted by a locking head 113 wider than said body 111. The half-interface 7a, 7b comprises fixing holes 75, preferably four, which allow the passage of a fastening screw screwing into tapped holes 33 of a board section 3a, 3b.

La demi-interface 7a, 7b comporte également au moins une encoche en arc de cercle 70 qui, en liaison avec un moyen de serrage 115, permet la liaison entre un élément de couplage 11 et ladite demi-interface. Ainsi à l'état desserré l'élément de serrage 115 permet à l'élément de couplage 11 de coulisser le long de l'encoche en arc de cercle 70 et à l'état serré il bloque tout mouvement dudit élément de couplage 11. L'élément de serrage 115 peut ainsi être placé entre la demi-interface 7a, 7b et la section de planche 3a, 3b à laquelle elle est fixée, dans un logement sous l'encoche en arc de cercle. L'élément de couplage est quant à lui posé sur la demi-interface 7a, 7b et lié à l'élément de serrage 115, par exemple au moyen d'une ou plusieurs vis.The half-interface 7a, 7b also comprises at least one arcuate notch 70 which, in connection with a clamping means 115, allows the connection between a coupling element 11 and said half-interface. Thus, in the loosened state, the clamping element 115 allows the coupling element 11 to slide along the arcuate notch 70 and in the tightened state it blocks any movement of the said coupling element 11. clamping member 115 can thus be placed between the half-interface 7a, 7b and the board section 3a, 3b to which it is fixed, in a housing under the notch in a circular arc. The coupling element is placed on the half-interface 7a, 7b and linked to the clamping element 115, for example by means of one or more screws.

La demi-interface 7a, 7b peut être de forme de demi-cercle, concentrique avec l'encoche en arc de cercle 70 et peut comporter sur sont bord extérieure un épaulement 72. Cet épaulement 72 peut servir de guide et de second point de liaison entre la demi-interface 7a, 7b et l'élément de couplage 11. Ce dernier peut ainsi comporter un prolongement 116 comprenant une encoche 118 dans laquelle s'insère l'épaulement 72.The half-interface 7a, 7b may be of semicircular shape, concentric with the arcuate notch 70 and may have on its outer edge a shoulder 72. This shoulder 72 may serve as a guide and a second connection point between the half-interface 7a, 7b and the coupling element 11. The latter can thus comprise an extension 116 comprising a notch 118 in which the shoulder 72 is inserted.

Comme le montrent la figure 1 ainsi que la figure 3a, les deux demi-interfaces 7a, 7b sont en vis-à-vis l'une de l'autre en position de descente. Les encoches en arc de cercle 70 de chaque demi-interfaces 7a, 7b sont concentriques. Les éléments de couplage 11 peuvent également être de forme sensiblement convergente, par exemple triangulaire, situés sur un même axe A et pointant dans une même direction.As shown by figure 1 as well as figure 3a , the two half-interfaces 7a, 7b are vis-à-vis each other in the down position. The arcuate notches 70 of each half-interfaces 7a, 7b are concentric. The coupling elements 11 may also be of substantially convergent shape, for example triangular, located on the same axis A and pointing in the same direction.

Le réglage de l'angle de fixation par rapport à l'axe longitudinale de la planche de surf des neiges peut ainsi être aisément effectué par desserrage des éléments de couplage 11, qui peuvent ainsi coulisser au sein de leur encoche en arc de cercle 70, et par pivotement de la base 5.The adjustment of the angle of attachment relative to the longitudinal axis of the snowboard can thus be easily effected by loosening the coupling elements 11, which can thus slide within their arcuate notch 70, and by pivoting the base 5.

La figure 3 a montre également plus en détail la seconde interface 9. Ladite seconde interface, placée sur la base 5, comporte au moins deux ouvertures de réception et de blocage 90 des éléments de couplage 11. Les ouvertures de réception et de blocage 90, préférentiellement pratiquées dans la base 5, comportent deux portions 90a, 90b contigües. La première portion est de largeur suffisante pour permettre à la tête de blocage 113 de traverser l'ouverture de réception et de blocage 90. La seconde portion 90b, de largeur inférieure à la première portion 90a, ne permettant que le passage du corps 111 au travers de l'ouverture de réception et de blocage 90. De même que les éléments de couplage 11, les ouvertures de réception et de blocage 90 peuvent avoir une forme sensiblement convergente, par exemple triangulaire.The figure 3 also shows in more detail the second interface 9. Said second interface, placed on the base 5, comprises at least two receiving and locking openings 90 of the coupling elements 11. The receiving and locking openings 90, preferably made in the base 5, have two portions 90a, 90b contiguous. The first portion is of sufficient width to allow the locking head 113 to pass through the receiving and locking opening 90. The second portion 90b, of smaller width than the first portion 90a, allowing only the passage of the body 111 to through the receiving and locking aperture 90. Like the coupling elements 11, the receiving and locking apertures 90 may have a substantially convergent shape, for example triangular.

Comme le montre les figures 3a à 3c, représentant les première 7 et seconde 9 interfaces à l'état détaché (figure 3a) et fixé (figure 3b), la fixation de ces interfaces s'effectue ainsi :

  • la base 5 et sa seconde interface 9 sont amenées au dessus de la première interface 7, les ouvertures de réception et de blocage 90 étant alignées avec les éléments de couplage 11,
  • la base 5 est approchée de la première l'interface 7 de sorte que les têtes de blocage 113 des éléments de couplage 11 traversent les premières portions 90a des ouvertures de réception et de blocage 90 comme le montre la figure 3b,
  • un mouvement de translation le long de l'axe A est appliqué à la base 5 de sorte que les corps 111 des éléments de couplage 11 passent dans les secondes portions 90b des ouvertures de réception et de blocage 90, bloquant les têtes de blocage 113 comme le montre la figure 3c.
As shown by Figures 3a to 3c , representing the first 7 and second 9 interfaces in the detached state ( figure 3a ) and fixed ( figure 3b ), these interfaces are fixed as follows:
  • the base 5 and its second interface 9 are brought above the first interface 7, the receiving and locking openings 90 being aligned with the coupling elements 11,
  • the base 5 is approached from the first interface 7 so that the locking heads 113 of the coupling elements 11 pass through the first portions 90a of the receiving and locking openings 90 as shown in FIG. figure 3b ,
  • a translation movement along the axis A is applied to the base 5 so that the bodies 111 of the coupling elements 11 pass into the second portions 90b of the receiving and locking apertures 90, blocking the locking heads 113 as shows it figure 3c .

La base 5 peut également comporter des cales 51 qui viennent en appuis sur la planche de surf des neiges de randonnée pour stabiliser la fixation entre la première 7 et seconde 9 interface.The base 5 may also include wedges 51 which support the hiking snowboard to stabilize the binding between the first 7 and second 9 interface.

Comme illustré sur la figure 4 en vue de dessous, la seconde portion 90d des ouvertures de réception et de blocage 90 peut être réalisée par la fixation d'une butée 93 sur la seconde interface 9. L'utilisation d'une butée 93 permet, dans le cas où la tête de blocage 113 de l'élément de couplage est de hauteur égale à l'épaisseur de la base 5 et que la butée 93 est de hauteur égale à celle du corps 111, d'avoir une bonne stabilité et une fixation optimale des interfaces entre-elles car les jeux entre ces dernières sont limités, ainsi qu'une base 5 plane.As illustrated on the figure 4 in view from below, the second portion 90d of the receiving and locking openings 90 can be achieved by fixing a stop 93 on the second interface 9. The use of a stop 93 allows, in the case where the head blocking 113 of the coupling element is of height equal to the thickness of the base 5 and that the stop 93 is of height equal to that of the body 111, to have good stability and optimal attachment interfaces between- they because the games between them are limited, and a base flat.

Afin de maintenir les éléments de couplage 11 au sein des ouvertures de réception et de blocage 90, la seconde interface 9 comporte au moins un système de verrouillage 13, comme illustré aux figures 4 et 5. Le système de verrouillage 13 comporte au moins un doigt de verrouillage 130 mobile autour d'un axe B entre :

  • une position de verrouillage où une extrémité dudit doigt de verrouillage 130 est en contact avec un élément de couplage 11 de sorte à bloquer ce dernier à l'intérieur de son ouverture de réception et de blocage 90 associée au niveau de sa seconde portion 90b comme illustré en figure 5, et
  • une position de déverrouillage où l'extrémité dudit doigt de verrouillage 130 s'écarte de l'élément de couplage 11, ce dernier pouvant accéder à la première portion 90a de son ouverture de réception et de blocage 90 associée depuis la seconde portion 90b.
In order to maintain the coupling elements 11 within the receiving and locking apertures 90, the second interface 9 comprises at least one locking system 13, as illustrated in figures 4 and 5 . The locking system 13 comprises at least one locking pin 130 movable about an axis B between:
  • a locking position where one end of said locking pin 130 is in contact with a coupling member 11 so as to lock the latter within its associated receiving and locking aperture 90 at its second portion 90b as illustrated in figure 5 , and
  • an unlocking position where the end of said locking pin 130 deviates from the coupling element 11, the latter being able to access the first portion 90a of its associated receiving and locking opening 90 from the second portion 90b.

Le au moins un doigt de verrouillage 13 peut passer d'une position à une autre au moyen d'une manette de déverrouillage 132. Le fait de tirer la manette de déverrouillage 132 fait pivoter le doigt de verrouillage 13 autour de son axe B de sorte à le faire passer en position de déverrouillage. Le système de verrouillage peut également comporter un élément élastique (non représenté), par exemple un ressort, qui est en liaison avec le doigt de verrouillage 13 et qui le ramène automatiquement en position de verrouillage. L'élément élastique permet également, du fait de la liaison entre le au moins un doigt de verrouillage et la manette de déverrouillage 132, un retour automatique de celle-ci.The at least one locking finger 13 can move from one position to another by means of an unlocking lever 132. Pulling the unlocking lever 132 rotates the locking finger 13 about its axis B so that to move it to the unlocking position. The locking system may also comprise an elastic element (not shown), for example a spring, which is in connection with the locking pin 13 and which automatically returns it to the locking position. The elastic element also allows, due to the connection between the at least one locking pin and the release lever 132, an automatic return thereof.

Comme le montrent les figures 2, 3b et 3c, au moins un élément de couplage 11 peut comporter au moins un renfoncement 117 de sorte que ledit élément de blocage 11 puisse traverser l'ouverture de réception et de blocage 90 alors que le au moins un doigt de blocage 130 est en position de verrouillage.As shown by figures 2 , 3b and 3c at least one coupling element 11 may comprise at least one recess 117 so that said locking element 11 can pass through the opening of receiving and locking 90 while the at least one locking pin 130 is in the locking position.

Cette configuration des première 7 et seconde 9 interfaces permet une fixation et un détachement de la base 5 aisés, qui ne nécessite aucun outillage particulier et qui peut même être réalisé sans déchausser la chaussure de ladite base 5. De plus, le système de fixation 1 comporte moins de pièces mobiles et exposées et donc il est moins sensible à la neige qui pourrait s'accumuler au niveau des premières 7 et secondes interfaces 9 et qui pourraient bloquer voir empêcher la fixation. Le verrouillage du fait de l'élément élastique est automatique ce qui simplifie encore plus l'utilisation du système de fixation 1, le déverrouillage s'effectuant simplement en tirant sur la manette de déverrouillage 132.This configuration of the first 7 and second 9 interfaces allows easy attachment and detachment of the base 5, which does not require any particular tools and which can even be performed without taking off the boot of said base 5. In addition, the fastening system 1 has fewer moving and exposed parts and therefore it is less sensitive to the snow that could accumulate at the first 7 and second 9 interfaces and that could block or prevent fixation. The locking due to the elastic element is automatic which further simplifies the use of the fastening system 1, the unlocking being effected simply by pulling on the release lever 132.

Dans l'exemple représenté sur les figures 3a à 3c et 4, le système de verrouillage 13 comporte deux doigts de verrouillage 130 assurant le verrouillage d'un même élément de blocage 11. Les extrémités desdits doigts de verrouillage 13 destinées à entrer en contact avec l'élément de blocage 11 sont écartées l'une de l'autre en position de déverrouillage afin de laisser passer ledit élément de blocage 11 et sont rapprochées l'une de l'autre en position de verrouillage afin de le bloquer. La manette de déverrouillage 132 est en liaison directe par contact avec un premier doigt de verrouillage 130 afin de le faire pivoter autour de son axe B pour le mettre en position de déverrouillage et est en liaison par l'intermédiaire d'une bielle 134 avec le second doigt de verrouillage 130 de sorte à le faire pivoter autour de son axe B dans un sens opposé au premier doigt de verrouillage 13 0.In the example shown on the Figures 3a to 3c and 4 , the locking system 13 comprises two locking fingers 130 ensuring the locking of a same blocking element 11. The ends of said locking fingers 13 intended to come into contact with the locking element 11 are spaced apart from each other. other in the unlocking position in order to let said blocking element 11 and are brought closer to each other in the locking position in order to block it. The unlocking lever 132 is in direct connection by contact with a first locking pin 130 in order to rotate it about its axis B to put it in the unlocking position and is connected via a connecting rod 134 with the second locking pin 130 so as to rotate about its axis B in a direction opposite to the first locking pin 130.

La base 5 peut en outre comporter un système de fixation supplémentaire (non représenté) configuré pour être utilisé en position de randonnée. Ce système de fixation supplémentaire, placé à l'avant de la base 5, c'est-à-dire côté pointe du pied de l'utilisateur, est destiné à venir en relation avec une fixation standard de ski de randonnée (non représentée) placée sur chaque section de planche 3a, 3b.The base 5 may further include an additional attachment system (not shown) configured to be used in a hiking position. This additional fastening system, placed at the front of the base 5, that is to say the tip of the user's foot, is intended to come into connection with a standard fixation of ski touring (not shown) placed on each board section 3a, 3b.

La présente invention concerne également un kit de fixation comprenant deux systèmes de fixation 1 comme décrit précédemment, un par chaussure, et deux fixations standards de ski de randonnée.The present invention also relates to a fastening kit comprising two fastening systems 1 as described above, one per shoe, and two standard bindings of ski touring.

Il est également possible d'imaginer une utilisation alternative du système de fixation 1 selon l'invention dans laquelle ledit système de fixation 1, ou plus précisément la première interface 7 est liée à une planche des neiges standard. L'utilisateur utilise la base 5 avec à la fois pour venir se fixer sur la planche des neiges standard mais également pour venir se fixer sur une fixation standard de ski de randonnée installée sur un ski de randonné standard pour effectuer un trajet d'approche.It is also possible to imagine an alternative use of the fastening system 1 according to the invention wherein said fastening system 1, or more precisely the first interface 7 is linked to a standard snowboard. The user uses the base 5 with both to be fixed on the standard snowboard but also to be fixed on a standard mount of ski touring installed on a standard ski touring to make a path of approach.

Ainsi, on voit bien que le système de fixation 1 selon l'invention, du fait de la configuration des première 7 et seconde 9 interfaces permet une fixation simple des sections de planches 3a, 3b entre elles en position de descente ainsi qu'un déverrouillage aisé pour passer en position de randonnée.Thus, it is clear that the fastening system 1 according to the invention, because of the configuration of the first 7 and second 9 interfaces allows simple attachment of the sections of boards 3a, 3b between them in the down position and unlocking easy to switch to hiking position.
