Description

La présente invention concerne un bâton de marche et plus particulièrement son élément d'appui au sol.The present invention relates to a walking stick and more particularly its ground support element.

Dans la marche nordique, appelée aussi Nordic Walking ou Marche Active, le pratiquant utilise un bâton pour prendre appui avec ses bras afin de s'aider dans sa progression ou afin de s'équilibrer dans ses mouvements. Les fabricants ont pour ce sport spécifique développé des patins spécifiques de bâtons destinés à s'adapter aux conditions d'utilisation de ce sport et aux contraintes subies pendant l'utilisation.In Nordic Walking, also known as Nordic Walking or Active Walking, the practitioner uses a stick to support his arms to help him progress or to balance his movements. The manufacturers have for this specific sport developed specific pads of sticks designed to adapt to the conditions of use of the sport and to the stresses undergone during use.

On connaît plusieurs types de bâton de marche nordique, comme par exemple un bâton muni à son extrémité d'une simple pointe, ou encore muni d'un patin d'appui. Un bâton muni d'une pointe permet un bon accrochage sur sol meuble mais n'est pas performant et bruyant sur un sol dur. Un bâton muni d'un patin d'appui est bien sur un sol dur mais pas performant sur un sol meuble. On connaît des bâtons dont l'extrémité est conçue pour pouvoir être changée. Les constructeurs, ont une préférence pour un patin conçu avec une surface d'appui sous la forme d'une portion circulaire et disposée de manière excentrée par rapport à l'axe du bâton de marche. Un tel agencement a notamment comme avantage, par rapport à d'autres solutions de patins d'appui sous la forme de diabolos, de permettre d'avoir un appui plus longtemps avec le sol : en effet, la surface du patin en contact avec le sol reste identique, quelle que soit l'inclinaison du bâton par rapport au sol. Toutefois ce type de bâton présente des inconvénients et notamment celui de n'être pas performant sur tous les types de terrains. En effet au début de l'appui ce dernier n'est pas véritablement efficace et en fin de pas il dérape sur certains sols.Several types of Nordic walking sticks are known, such as for example a stick provided at its end with a single point, or provided with a support pad. A stick with a tip allows a good grip on soft ground but is not powerful and noisy on hard ground. A stick with a support pad is on hard ground but not performing on soft ground. We know sticks whose end is designed to be changed. The manufacturers have a preference for a pad designed with a bearing surface in the form of a circular portion and disposed eccentrically with respect to the axis of the walking stick. Such an arrangement has the particular advantage, compared to other solutions of support pads in the form of diabolos, to allow to have a longer support with the ground: in fact, the surface of the pad in contact with the ground remains the same, regardless of the inclination of the stick relative to the ground. However, this type of stick has drawbacks and in particular that of not performing on all types of terrain. Indeed at the beginning of the support the latter is not really effective and at the end of it skids on some soils.

De plus, en marche nordique pour avoir une bonne accroche, il est généralement nécessaire d'intervertir les pointes selon le type de sol. Sur sol meuble, une pointe d'appui et sur sol dur, un patin. L'invention proposée évite ce changement de pointe lors d'un changement de type de sol, ce nouveau patin d'appui étant efficace que ce soit sur une surface meuble ou une surface dure.In addition, in Nordic walking to have a good grip, it is usually necessary to invert the tips depending on the type of soil. On soft ground, a point of support and on hard ground, a skate. The proposed invention avoids this change of tip during a change of soil type, this new support pad being effective whether on a loose surface or a hard surface.

Le but de l'invention est de proposer un patin d'appui pour bâton de marche, efficace sur tous les terrains et confortable pour l'utilisateur, que ce soit pour la marche nordique ou pour la randonnée, voire la simple marche d'agrément.The object of the invention is to provide a support pad for walking stick, effective on all terrains and comfortable for the user, whether for Nordic walking or hiking, or even the simple walk amenity .

En effet, il est maintenant interdit dans certains sites d'utiliser des pointes aciers sur des sentiers en terre. Les randonneurs sont obligés d'utiliser des embouts en caoutchouc qui sont dépourvus d'accroche sur ce type de terrain et pouvant s'avérer dangereux. Ce nouveau patin d'appui pallie aux inconvénients précités puisqu'il permet une bonne accroche sans toutefois détériorer les sentiers.Indeed, it is now forbidden in some sites to use steel tips on dirt trails. Hikers are obliged to use rubber tips that have no grip on this type of terrain and can be dangerous. This new support pad overcomes the aforementioned drawbacks because it allows good grip without damaging the trails.

Ainsi, le patin d'appui pour bâton de marche, qui se présente, sous la forme d'une tige constituée par un profilé tubulaire longitudinal d'axe dont l'extrémité supérieure est équipée d'une poignée avec une dragonne de retenue et dont l'extrémité inférieure comprend le patin d'appui, tandis que la tige avec son appui présente un plan vertical de symétrie générale, tandis qu'il comprend un avant et un arrière en position d'utilisation, l'avant correspondant à l'avant lors de l'utilisation du bâton, et l'arrière correspondant à l'arrière lors de l'utilisation, est caractérisé en ce que la périphérie de la face d'appui du patin d'appui comprend une pluralité de saillies d'appui et d'accrochage, les saillies étant déformables élastiquement pour revenir dans leur position initiale après déformation.Thus, the support pad for walking stick, which is in the form of a rod consisting of a longitudinal tubular profile axis whose upper end is equipped with a handle with a retaining strap and the lower end comprises the support pad, while the rod with its support has a vertical plane of general symmetry, while it comprises a front and a rear in the use position, the front corresponding to the front when using the stick, and the rear corresponding to the rear during use, is characterized in that the periphery of the support surface of the support pad comprises a plurality of support projections and hooking, the projections being elastically deformable to return to their initial position after deformation.

Selon une caractéristique complémentaire, le nombre de saillies est supérieur à 3.According to a complementary feature, the number of projections is greater than 3.

Selon un mode de réalisation, le plan d'appui et d'accrochage défini par les extrémités des saillies est perpendiculaire à l'axe longitudinal de la tige de bâton.According to one embodiment, the support plane and attachment defined by the ends of the projections is perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the rod rod.

Selon un autre mode de réalisation, le plan d'appui et d'accrochage défini par les extrémités des saillies n'est pas perpendiculaire à l'axe longitudinal de la tige de bâton.According to another embodiment, the support plane and attachment defined by the ends of the projections is not perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the rod rod.

Selon un mode d'exécution, la longueur des saillies est identique tout autour de la périphérie d'appui.According to one embodiment, the length of the projections is identical all around the support periphery.

Selon un autre mode d'exécution, la longueur de chacune des saillies n'est pas identique tout autour de la périphérie d'appui.According to another embodiment, the length of each of the projections is not identical all around the support periphery.

Selon une caractéristique, le patin d'appui est constitué par un corps de patin portant les saillies d'appui.According to one characteristic, the support pad is constituted by a pad body bearing the bearing projections.

Selon la caractéristique précédente, l'ensemble constitué par le corps de patin et les saillies d'appui est une ensemble monobloc réalisé en matériau déformable élastiquement.According to the preceding characteristic, the assembly constituted by the skate body and the bearing projections is a one-piece assembly made of elastically deformable material.

Selon une caractéristique particulière, les saillies d'appui sont portées par une couronne montée sur une pièce d'assemblage.According to a particular characteristic, the bearing projections are carried by a ring mounted on an assembly part.

Selon un mode de réalisation, le corps de patin est réalisé dans un matériau rigide tandis que les saillies avec la pièce d'assemblage peuvent être en matériau déformable élastiquement.According to one embodiment, the skate body is made of a rigid material while the projections with the assembly part may be of elastically deformable material.

Selon un autre mode de réalisation, le corps de patin et la pièce d'assemblage sont en matériau rigide, tandis que la couronne avec les saillies est en matériau mou déformable.According to another embodiment, the skate body and the assembly part are made of rigid material, while the crown with the projections is of deformable soft material.

Selon un mode d'éxécution, la pièce d'assemblage est réalisée avec un matériau rigide tandis que le corps de patin et les saillies sont en matériau déformable élastiquement.According to one embodiment, the assembly part is made of a rigid material while the shoe body and the projections are of elastically deformable material.

Selon une caractéristique, une saillie arrière centrale est disposée dans le plan vertical, une saillie avant est disposée diamétralement par rapport à la saillie arrière, tandis que l'ensemble des saillies est constitué de la saillie arrière, de la saillie avant, et de plusieurs saillies latérales.According to one feature, a central rear projection is disposed in the vertical plane, a front projection is disposed diametrically with respect to the rear projection, while all of the projections consist of the rear projection, the front projection, and a plurality of projections. lateral projections.

Selon une autre caractéristique, le corps de patin de forme conique, comprend un trou central destiné à loger l'extrémité inférieure de la tige du bâton.According to another characteristic, the conical shaped skate body comprises a central hole intended to house the lower end of the rod of the stick.

Selon une autre caractéristique, le patin d'appui comprend une saillie arrière centrale disposée dans le plan vertical, et une saillie avant disposée diamétralement par rapport à la saillie arrière, et de plusieurs saillies latérales.According to another feature, the support pad comprises a central rear projection disposed in the vertical plane, and a front projection disposed diametrically with respect to the rear projection, and a plurality of lateral projections.

Ajoutons que la saillie arrière centrale qui est la saillie d'attaque est plus longue et plus large que les autres saillies qui sont d'une longueur diminuant progressivement de chaque côté du plan vertical jusqu'à la saillie avant centrale diamétralement opposée à la saillie d'attaque.Let us add that the central rear protrusion which is the protrusion of attack is longer and wider than the other protrusions which are of a progressively decreasing length on each side of the vertical plane until the central front protrusion diametrically opposed to the protrusion of the protrusion. 'attack.

Précisons que selon un mode de réalisation, les saillies d'accrochage s'étendent à la périphérie inférieure d'un corps de patin, tandis que les saillies d'appui et d'accrochage sont réalisées dans une matière plastique plus souple que le corps de patin.It should be noted that according to one embodiment, the attachment protrusions extend at the lower periphery of a skate body, while the support and hooking projections are made of a softer plastic material than the body of the skate body. skate.

Le bâton n'est illustré que partiellement par son extrémité inférieure équipée du patin d'appui selon l'invention.The stick is only partially illustrated by its lower end equipped with the support pad according to the invention.

Selon l'invention, le bâton d'appui, comprenant le patin d'appui de l'invention (2), est du type destiné aux marcheurs de marche nordique, aux randonneurs ainsi qu'aux simples marcheurs.According to the invention, the support stick, comprising the support pad of the invention (2), is of the type intended for Nordic walking walkers, hikers and simple walkers.

Le bâton de marche se présente, de manière connue en soi, sous la forme d'une tige (1) constituée par un profilé tubulaire longitudinal d'axe (X, X') ou d'un assemblage réglable de profilés longitudinaux dont l'extrémité supérieure est équipée d'une poignée de retenue et dont l'extrémité inférieure comprend le patin d'appui (2). La poignée est avantageusement équipée de façon connue d'une dragonneThe walking stick is, in a manner known per se, in the form of a rod (1) constituted by a tubular longitudinal profile of axis (X, X ') or an adjustable assembly of longitudinal profiles of which the upper end is provided with a holding handle and the lower end of which includes the support pad (2). The handle is advantageously equipped in known manner with a hand strap

Ajoutons que le bâton et notamment sa tige (1) avec son patin d'appui (2) présentent un plan vertical de symétrie générale (V, V), tandis qu'il comprend un avant (AV) et un arrière (AR) en position d'utilisation, l'avant correspondant à l'avant lors de l'utilisation du bâton, et l'arrière correspondant bien entendu à l'arrière lors de l'utilisation.Let us add that the stick and especially its rod (1) with its support pad (2) have a vertical plane of general symmetry (V, V), while it comprises a front (AV) and a rear (AR) in use position, the front corresponding to the front when using the stick, and the back corresponding of course in the back during use.

Notons que le patin d'appui (2) se présente sous la forme générale d'un cône ouvert vers le bas dont la périphérie inférieure comprend une pluralité de saillies d'accrochage périphérique (3a, 3b, 3'b, 3c, 3'c, 3d, 3'd, 3e), les dites saillies étant déformables élastiquement. Le nombre de saillies est avantageusement supérieur à 3, et par exemple au nombre de 8, comme selon le mode de réalisation donné à titre d'exemple.Note that the support pad (2) is in the general form of a downwardly open cone whose lower periphery comprises a plurality of peripheral attachment projections (3a, 3b, 3'b, 3c, 3 ' c, 3d, 3'd, 3e), said projections being elastically deformable. The number of projections is advantageously greater than 3, and for example the number of 8, as in the embodiment given by way of example.

Selon le mode préféré de l'invention, les saillies d'accrochage (3a, 3b, 3'b, 3c, 3'c, 3d, 3'd, 3e) s'étendent à la périphérie inférieure d'un corps de patin (5). Notons que selon le mode préféré illustré, la périphérie inférieure d'appui est avantageusement circulaire.According to the preferred embodiment of the invention, the attachment protrusions (3a, 3b, 3'b, 3c, 3'c, 3d, 3'd, 3e) extend at the lower periphery of a skate body (5). Note that according to the preferred embodiment illustrated, the lower periphery of support is advantageously circular.

Le corps de patin (5) de forme conique, est par exemple réalisé en matière plastique, tandis que son centre comprend un trou central (6) destiné à loger l'extrémité inférieure de la tige (1) du bâton.The skate body (5) of conical shape, for example made of plastic, while its center comprises a central hole (6) for housing the lower end of the rod (1) of the stick.

L'extrémité de l'ensemble des saillies (3a, 3b, 3'b, 3c, 3'c, 3d, 3'd, 3e) constitue un plan d'appui et d'accrochage (P) qui selon un mode de l'invention n'est pas perpendiculaire à l'axe (X, X') de la tige (1) du bâton. Ainsi le plan (P) forme par exemple un angle (A) d'environ 15° par rapport à la perpendiculaire (T, T') à l'axe (X, X'). Bien entendu il pourrait en être autrement et dans ce cas le plan (P,) pourrait être perpendiculaire à l'axe (X, X') de la tige (1) du bâton, tel qu'illustré à la figure 10. Par ailleurs sur ce même mode de réalisation la longueur des saillies est identique tout autour de la périphérie d'appui, mais il pourrait en être autrement la longueur de chacune des saillies (3a, 3b, 3'b, 3c, 3'c, 3d, 3'd, 3e) n'est pas identique tout autour de la périphérie d'appui, tel qu'explicité plus en détail dans la suite de la description, et illustré aux figures 1 à 8, pour le mode de réalisation où le plan d'appui et d'accrochage (P) n'est pas perpendiculaire à l'axe (X, X') de la tige (1) du bâton.The end of the set of projections (3a, 3b, 3'b, 3c, 3'c, 3d, 3'd, 3e) constitutes a support plane and hooking (P) which according to a mode of the invention is not perpendicular to the axis (X, X ') of the rod (1) of the stick. Thus the plane (P) forms for example an angle (A) of about 15 ° relative to the perpendicular (T, T ') to the axis (X, X'). Of course it could be otherwise and in this case the plane (P,) could be perpendicular to the axis (X, X ') of the rod (1) of the stick, as illustrated in FIG. figure 10 . Moreover, in this same embodiment, the length of the projections is identical all around the support periphery, but it could be otherwise the length of each of the projections (3a, 3b, 3'b, 3c, 3'c, 3d, 3'd, 3e) is not identical all around the periphery of support, as explained in more detail in the remainder of the description, and illustrated in FIGS. Figures 1 to 8 , for the embodiment where the support plane and attachment (P) is not perpendicular to the axis (X, X ') of the rod (1) of the stick.

Selon le mode de réalisation illustré aux figures 1 à 8, la longueur de chacune des saillies (3a, 3b, 3'b, 3c, 3'c, 3d, 3'd, 3e) n'est pas identique tout autour de la périphérie d'appui. Ainsi, la saillie arrière centrale (3a) disposée dans le plan vertical (V, V') qui est la saillie d'attaque est plus longue et plus large que les autres saillies (3b, 3'b, 3c, 3'c, 3d, 3'd, 3e) qui sont d'une longueur diminuant progressivement de chaque côté du plan vertical (V) jusqu'à la saillie avant centrale (3e) diamétralement opposée à la saillie d'attaque (3a), et donc disposée dans le plan (V, V'). Précisons que l'ensemble des saillies est constitué de la saillie arrière (3a) de la saillie avant (3e) et de plusieurs sailles latérales (3b, 3c, 3d - 3'b, 3'c, 3'd).According to the embodiment illustrated in Figures 1 to 8 the length of each of the projections (3a, 3b, 3'b, 3c, 3'c, 3d, 3'd, 3e) is not identical all around the support periphery. Thus, the central rear projection (3a) disposed in the vertical plane (V, V ') which is the protruding projection is longer and wider than the other projections (3b, 3'b, 3c, 3'c, 3d, 3'd, 3e) which are of progressively decreasing length on each side of the vertical plane (V) to the central front projection (3e) diametrically opposed to the attack projection (3a), and thus arranged in the plane (V, V '). It should be noted that all the projections consist of the rear projection (3a) of the front projection (3e) and of several lateral projections (3b, 3c, 3d-3'b, 3'c, 3'd).

Selon un autre mode de réalisation tel qu'illustré à la figure 10, les saillies (3b, 3'b, 3c, 3'c, 3d, 3'd, 3e) sont de mêmes longueurs.According to another embodiment as illustrated in figure 10 the projections (3b, 3'b, 3c, 3'c, 3d, 3'd, 3e) are of the same length.

Selon un autre mode de réalisation, les saillies sont avantageusement placées indifféremment autour du corps de patin (5).According to another embodiment, the projections are advantageously placed indifferently around the pad body (5).

Précisons que selon une caractéristique de l'invention, que les saillies d'appui et d'accrochage (3a, 3b, 3'b, 3c, 3'c, 3d, 3'd, 3e) sont déformables élastiquement, et sont par exemple réalisées dans une matière plastique, plus molle que le corps de patin (5).It should be noted that according to one characteristic of the invention, the support and hooking protrusions (3a, 3b, 3'b, 3c, 3'c, 3d, 3'd, 3e) are elastically deformable, and are example made of a plastic material, softer than the pad body (5).

Ainsi, le corps de patin est réalisé avec une matière rigide telle qu'en polyamide ou autre comme par exemple en polypropylène, tandis que les saillies (3a, 3b, 3'b, 3c, 3'c, 3d, 3'd, 3e) sont réalisées avec un matériau mou élastique comme par exemple en polyuréthanne ou en caoutchouc.Thus, the skate body is made of a rigid material such as polyamide or other such as polypropylene, while the projections (3a, 3b, 3'b, 3c, 3'c, 3d, 3'd, 3e) are made of a soft elastic material such as polyurethane or rubber.

A cet effet selon une construction particulière, qui est illustrée à la figure 7, au corps de patin (5) est fixé par exemple par clipsage, une couronne (7) portant les saillies d'appui et d'accrochage (3a, 3b, 3'b, 3c, 3'c, 3d, 3'd, 3e). Bien entendu, le patin d'appui peut être réalisé par injection bi-matière.For this purpose according to a particular construction, which is illustrated in figure 7 , to the skate body (5) is fixed for example by clipping, a ring (7) bearing the bearing and hooking projections (3a, 3b, 3'b, 3c, 3'c, 3d, 3'd , 3rd). Of course, the support pad can be made by bi-material injection.

Notons que selon le mode de réalisation donné à titre d'exemple, les saillies (3b, 3'b, 3c, 3'c, 3d, 3'd, 3e) qui s'étendent vers le bas sont prolongées vers le haut par des prolongements (30b, 30'b, 30c, 30'c, 30d, 30'd, 30e) qui prennent appui sur le corps de patin (5).Note that according to the embodiment given by way of example, the projections (3b, 3'b, 3c, 3'c, 3d, 3'd, 3e) which extend downward are extended upward by extensions (30b, 30'b, 30c, 30'c, 30d, 30'd, 30e) resting on the pad body (5).

Les figures 8a, 8b, 8c illustrent le bâton, du moins son extrémité, en cours d'utilisation. Le sens du déplacement de l'utilisateur lors de la marche est indiqué par la flèche (D).The Figures 8a, 8b, 8c illustrate the stick, at least its end, in use. The direction of movement of the user when walking is indicated by the arrow (D).

La figure 8a représente le début de l'appui et c'est alors la saillie arrière centrale (3a) qui est en appui et qui se déforme.The figure 8a represents the beginning of the support and it is then the central rear protrusion (3a) which is in support and which is deformed.

La figure 8c représente la fin du mouvement du bâton et donc de l'appui au sol, dans cette position c'est la saillie avant centrale (3e) qui est en appui et qui se déforme.The figure 8c represents the end of the movement of the stick and thus of the support on the ground, in this position it is the central forward projection (3e) which is in support and which is deformed.

La figure 8b représente une position intermédiaire qui montre que l'ensemble des saillies sont en appui et se déforment.The figure 8b represents an intermediate position which shows that all the projections are in support and deform.

Selon un autre mode de réalisation illustré à la figure 9, le patin d'appui (2) est monté sur l'extrémité inférieure (10) de la tige (1) du bâton, par l'intermédiaire d'une rotule, tel que cela est illustré schématiquement à la figure 8, et ce afin que l'appui accompagne les mouvements du bâton lors de la marche de l'utilisateur en s'adaptant à ces mouvements. La rotule est dans ce cas constituée par une boule (8) solidaire de l'extrémité inférieure (10) de la tige (1) du bâton destinée à coopérer avec un logement sphérique (9) réalisé dans le corps de patin (5).According to another embodiment illustrated in figure 9 , the support pad (2) is mounted on the lower end (10) of the rod (1) of the stick, via a ball joint, as schematically illustrated in FIG. figure 8 so that the support accompanies the movements of the stick during the walk of the user by adapting to these movements. The ball is in this case constituted by a ball (8) integral with the lower end (10) of the rod (1) of the stick for cooperating with a spherical housing (9) formed in the pad body (5).

On a compris que la périphérie de la face d'appui du patin d'appui comprend une pluralité de saillies d'appui et d'accrochage (3a, 3b, 3'b, 3c, 3'c, 3d, 3'd, 3e), et que ces saillies sont déformables élastiquement pour revenir dans leur position initiale après déformation.It has been understood that the periphery of the bearing surface of the support pad comprises a plurality of bearing and hooking projections (3a, 3b, 3'b, 3c, 3'c, 3d, 3'd, 3e), and that these projections are elastically deformable to return to their initial position after deformation.

La figure 11 est une vue éclatée de détails. Ainsi le patin d'appui est composé du corps de patin (5) d'une pièce d'assemblage (7) et de l'ensemble des saillies solidaire par exemple d'une couronne. Notons que l'ensemble constitué par le corps de patin et ses saillies pourrait être mono matière. Mais notons que le corps de patin peut être réalisé dans un matériau rigide tandis que les saillies avec la pièce d'assemblage peuvent être en matériau déformable élastiquement. Notons aussi que le corps (5) et la pièce d'assemblage (7) peuvent être en matériau rigide, tandis que la couronne avec les saillies peut être en matériau mou déformable. Selon une autre variante la pièce d'assemblage (7) peut être réalisée avec un matériau rigide tandis que le corps de patin (5) et les saillies sont en matériau déformable élastiquement. Précisons que l'ensemble portant les saillies est avantageusement démontable du corps de patin, afin que l'utilisateur puisse remplacer les saillies en cas d'un usage intensif les ayant détériorées.The figure 11 is an exploded view of details. Thus the support pad is composed of the pad body (5) of an assembly piece (7) and all the projections secured for example a ring. Note that the assembly constituted by the skate body and its projections could be mono material. But note that the skate body can be made of a rigid material while the projections with the assembly part can be of elastically deformable material. Note also that the body (5) and the connecting piece (7) may be of rigid material, while the crown with the projections may be deformable soft material. According to another variant the assembly piece (7) can be made of a rigid material while the pad body (5) and the projections are of elastically deformable material. Note that the assembly bearing the projections is advantageously removable from the skate body, so that the user can replace the projections in case of intensive use having deteriorated.

Notons que les saillies sont avantageusement de toutes formes et ont avantageusement des largeurs et hauteurs différentes, ainsi que des espacements différents.Note that the projections are advantageously of all shapes and preferably have different widths and heights, and different spacings.
