Description

1 DOMAINE TECHNIQUE1 TECHNICAL AREA

Le domaine de l'invention est celui des équipements de sports d'hiver, et plus particulièrement des équipements de sports de glisse.The field of the invention is that of winter sports equipment, and more particularly board sports equipment.

2 ARRIERE-PLAN TECHNOLOGIQUE2 TECHNOLOGICAL BACKGROUND

On connaît de nombreux équipements de loisirs qui sont utilisés lors de la saison hivernale dans les stations de skis et qui permettent à un utilisateur de descendre les pistes de skis. L'utilisation de skis, de luges ou de vélo-skis est ainsi bien connue.Numerous recreational equipment are known which are used during the winter season in ski resorts and which allow a user to descend the ski slopes. The use of skis, sleds or bicycle-skis is thus well known.

Afin d'ouvrir cette pratique sportive aux personnes à mobilité réduite ou aux personnes handicapées, des sièges particuliers ont été développés pour permettre à ces personnes de descendre les pistes de skis.In order to open this sport to people with reduced mobility or people with disabilities, special seats have been developed to allow these people to go down the ski slopes.

Ces différents équipements de loisirs sont tous adaptés à une pratique différente des sports d'hiver. Ils ont donc tous été développés indépendamment les uns des autres. Ainsi, lorsqu'un utilisateur souhaite pratiquer plusieurs de ces sports ou activités, il est nécessaire d'acheter ou de louer chacun de ces équipements, ce qui peut s'avérer coûteux.These different leisure facilities are all suitable for a different practice of winter sports. They were therefore all developed independently of each other. Thus, when a user wishes to practice several of these sports or activities, it is necessary to buy or rent each of these equipments, which can prove to be expensive.

La solution technique décrite ci-après vise à faciliter l'utilisation de ces différents équipements.The technical solution described below aims to facilitate the use of these various pieces of equipment.

3 RESUME3 SUMMARY

Selon au moins un mode de réalisation, la technique proposée concerne un module adaptateur pour la fixation d'un dispositif d'accueil d'un utilisateur sur une paire de skis. Le module adaptateur comprend une embase centrale reliée à une paire de patins s'étendant parallèlement et destinés à être chacun fixé à un ski, l'embase centrale étant montée de manière articulée sur la paire de patins, et des moyens de freinage.According to at least one embodiment, the proposed technique relates to an adapter module for fixing a user reception device on a pair of skis. The adapter module comprises a central base connected to a pair of shoes extending in parallel and each intended to be fixed to a ski, the central base being mounted in an articulated manner on the pair of shoes, and braking means.

Selon la technique proposée, les moyens de freinage comprennent une griffe latérale droite et une griffe latérale gauche, chaque griffe étant actionnée par une pédale de frein indépendante.According to the proposed technique, the braking means comprise a right side claw and a left side claw, each claw being actuated by an independent brake pedal.

La technique proposée permet de fixer, aisément et sans modification du module adaptateur, différents équipements de loisirs sur une paire de skis tout en reproduisant les mouvements et la position des pieds d'un skieur lorsqu'il descend une piste de ski.The proposed technique makes it possible to fix, easily and without modification of the adapter module, various leisure equipment on a pair of skis while reproducing the movements and the position of the feet of a skier when he descends a ski slope.

Ainsi, le module adaptateur permet une prise d'angle lors des virages de sorte à assurer un pilotage aisé.Thus, the adapter module allows a corner grip during turns so as to ensure easy steering.

La solution proposée est en outre d'une grande simplicité de mise en œuvre et de fabrication.The proposed solution is also very simple to implement and manufacture.

Par ailleurs, la mise en œuvre de griffes latérales droite et gauche, chacune actionnée par un pédale de frein indépendante, permet de freiner le module adaptateur par friction.Furthermore, the use of right and left side claws, each actuated by an independent brake pedal, makes it possible to brake the adapter module by friction.

Ce pilotage indépendant des griffes permet également de faciliter le pilotage du module adaptateur dans les virages. En effet, la friction d'une des griffes lors d'un virage facilite l'inclinaison du module adaptateur par le pilote.This independent control of the claws also makes it easier to pilot the adapter module when cornering. Indeed, the friction of one of the claws during a turn facilitates the inclination of the adapter module by the pilot.

Selon un mode de réalisation particulier, le module adaptateur comprend des moyens de bascule configurés pour déplacer simultanément un premier des patins vers l'embase centrale et un deuxième des patins dans une direction opposée.According to a particular embodiment, the adapter module comprises rocking means configured to simultaneously move a first of the pads to the central base and a second of the pads in an opposite direction.

En d'autres termes, les moyens de bascule permettent de déplacer simultanément les patins dans des directions opposées de sorte à permettre la prise d'angle du module dans les virages.In other words, the rocking means make it possible to simultaneously move the pads in opposite directions so as to allow the module to take an angle when cornering.

Plus particulièrement, les moyens de bascule sont configurés pour, dans un premier mouvement de bascule, déplacer le premier patin vers le haut et le deuxième patin vers le bas et, dans un deuxième mouvement de bascule opposé au premier mouvement, de déplacer le premier patin vers le bas et le deuxième patin vers le haut.More particularly, the rocking means are configured to, in a first rocking movement, move the first pad up and the second pad down and, in a second rocking movement opposite to the first movement, to move the first pad down and the second shoe up.

Selon un autre mode de réalisation particulier, les moyens de bascule comprennent un étrier en forme de "U" dont les deux extrémités sont chacune montées articulées par un bras de bascule sur l'un et l'autre des patins, la base de l'étrier étant montée mobile en rotation par rapport à l'embase centrale.According to another particular embodiment, the rocking means comprise a "U" shaped stirrup, the two ends of which are each articulated by a rocking arm on one and the other of the pads, the base of the stirrup being mounted movable in rotation relative to the central base.

La mise en œuvre d'un tel étrier, monté de manière articulée sur les patins, permet de synchroniser le déplacement des patins lors des mouvements de bascule.The use of such a stirrup, mounted in an articulated manner on the pads, makes it possible to synchronize the movement of the pads during rocking movements.

Selon un aspect particulier, le module adaptateur comprend des moyens de décalage des patins l'un par rapport à l'autre, les moyens de décalage étant configurés pour déplacer le premier patin vers l'avant du module adaptateur et le deuxième patin vers l'arrière du module adaptateur selon un premier mouvement de décalage, et pour déplacer le premier patin vers l'arrière du module adaptateur et le deuxième patin vers l'avant du module adaptateur selon un deuxième mouvement de décalage.According to a particular aspect, the adapter module comprises means for shifting the pads with respect to each other, the offset means being configured to move the first pad towards the front of the adapter module and the second pad towards the rear of the adapter module according to a first offset movement, and to move the first pad towards the rear of the adapter module and the second pad towards the front of the adapter module according to a second offset movement.

Plus particulièrement, le déplacement des patins est effectué de manière simultanée.More particularly, the movement of the pads is carried out simultaneously.

Ainsi, les virages peuvent être négociés plus aisément du fait du décalage des patins l'un par rapport à l'autre. Le guidage ou contrôle du module adaptateur est donc facilité.Thus, the turns can be negotiated more easily due to the offset of the pads relative to each other. Guidance or control of the adapter module is therefore facilitated.

Le fonctionnement simultané des moyens de bascule et des moyens de décalage permet une prise d'angle et un positionnement des patins sensiblement identiques à celui des pieds d'un skieur lors d'un virage.The simultaneous operation of the rocking means and of the shifting means allows an angle grip and a positioning of the pads substantially identical to that of the feet of a skier during a turn.

Selon un aspect particulier, les moyens de décalage comprennent une platine de direction avant et une platine de direction arrière situées aux extrémités opposées de l'embase centrale, chaque patin étant solidaire respectivement de la première et de la deuxième platine de direction par le biais d'une paire de bras articulés s'étendant sensiblement parallèlement l'un à l'autre.According to a particular aspect, the shifting means comprise a front steering plate and a rear steering plate located at opposite ends of the central base, each shoe being secured respectively to the first and to the second steering plate by means of 'a pair of articulated arms extending substantially parallel to each other.

Les patins sont donc déplacés simultanément. De plus, la mise en œuvre particulière des bras articulés permet de maintenir les patins parallèles l'un à l'autre et d'assurer une orientation similaire des patins, même lors de l'inclinaison du module adaptateur dans un virage.The pads are therefore moved simultaneously. In addition, the particular implementation of the articulated arms allows the pads to be kept parallel to each other. the other and to ensure a similar orientation of the pads, even when tilting the adapter module in a turn.

Selon un aspect particulier, les bras articulés sont fixés à la platine de direction et à un patin par une liaison rotule.According to a particular aspect, the articulated arms are fixed to the steering plate and to a shoe by a ball joint.

Une telle liaison, qui présente trois degrés de liberté en rotation, permet aux patins de se déplacer conformément aux mouvements de bascule et de décalage.Such a connection, which has three degrees of freedom in rotation, allows the skates to move in accordance with the rocking and shifting movements.

Selon un aspect particulier, l'embase centrale est solidaire des platines de direction par le biais d'une rotule de direction.According to a particular aspect, the central base is secured to the steering plates by means of a steering ball joint.

Ainsi, lors des mouvements de bascule et de décalage du module adaptateur, l'embase centrale peut s'incliner par rapport aux platines de direction de sorte à ce que le module adaptateur prenne de l'angle afin de faciliter le guidage ou contrôle du module adaptateur lors d'un virage.Thus, during rocking and shifting movements of the adapter module, the central base can tilt relative to the steering plates so that the adapter module takes an angle in order to facilitate guiding or controlling the module. adapter during a turn.

Selon un aspect particulier, les moyens de freinage comprennent un levier additionnel configuré pour être actionné manuellement par l'utilisateur de sorte à déplacer simultanément les griffes latérales gauche et droite.According to a particular aspect, the braking means comprise an additional lever configured to be actuated manually by the user so as to simultaneously move the left and right side claws.

5 DESCRIPTION DETAILLEE DE L'INVENTION5 DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

Les éléments identiques sur les différentes figures, portent les mêmes références et ne sont généralement décrits qu'une seule fois.Identical elements in the different figures have the same references and are generally only described once.

Le principe général de l'invention repose sur la mise en œuvre d'un module adaptateur qui permet la fixation d'un dispositif d'accueil d'un utilisateur sur une paire de skis. L'ensemble paire de skis, module adaptateur et dispositif d'accueil de l'utilisateur forme un système.The general principle of the invention is based on the implementation of an adapter module which allows the attachment of a user reception device on a pair of skis. The pair of skis, adapter module and user reception device forms a system.

Le dispositif d'accueil d'un utilisateur peut se présenter sous la forme d'un vélo-ski, d'une luge ou d'un siège pour handicapé, par exemple.The user reception device can be in the form of a bicycle-ski, toboggan or seat for the disabled, for example.

La structure particulière du module adaptateur permet la fixation de différents équipements de loisirs sur une paire de skis.The special structure of the adapter module allows the attachment of various leisure equipment on a pair of skis.

En outre, le module adaptateur est prévu pour reproduire la position des pieds d'un skieur lorsqu'il descend une piste de ski. Ainsi, le module adaptateur est configuré pour permettre une prise d'angle du système lors des virages de sorte à assurer un pilotage aisé.In addition, the adapter module is intended to reproduce the position of the feet of a skier when he descends a ski slope. Thus, the adapter module is configured to allow the system to be taken at an angle during turns so as to ensure easy steering.

Les figures 1 à 5 ainsi que les figures 10 et 11 présentent un module adaptateur 1 conforme à l'invention.The Figures 1 to 5 as well as figures 10 and 11 present an adapter module 1 according to the invention.

Le module adaptateur présente une embase centrale 10 sensiblement rectiligne. La surface supérieure 100 de l'embase centrale 10 présente des moyens de solidarisation 101 d'un dispositif d'accueil 9 d'un utilisateur (représenté sur les figures 6 à 9) sur le module adaptateur 1.The adapter module has a substantially straight central base 10. The upper surface 100 of the central base 10 has means 101 for securing a reception device 9 for a user (shown in the figures 6 to 9 ) on the adapter module 1.

Les moyens de solidarisation 101 comprennent deux mécanismes de solidarisation 102 disposés sensiblement aux extrémités opposées de l'embase centrale 10. Chaque mécanisme de solidarisation 102 comprend deux parois parallèles 103 formant une rainure 104 (visible sur la figure 2) ainsi qu'un moyen de verrouillage 105 qui, dans cet exemple, se présente sous la forme d'une attache rapide bien connue dans le domaine des cycles.The joining means 101 comprise two joining mechanisms 102 arranged substantially at opposite ends of the central base 10. Each joining mechanism 102 comprises two parallel walls 103 forming a groove 104 (visible on the figure 2 ) and a locking means 105 which, in this example, is in the form of a quick coupler well known in the field of cycles.

Le moyen de verrouillage 105 est destiné à coopérer avec, d'une part, des ouvertures ménagées dans les parois 103 du mécanisme de solidarisation 102 et, d'autre part, dans un logement correspondant ménagé dans un mécanisme de fixation 900 du dispositif d'accueil 9 d'un utilisateur.The locking means 105 is intended to cooperate with, on the one hand, openings made in the walls 103 of the securing mechanism 102 and, on the other hand, in a corresponding housing formed in a fixing mechanism 900 of the device. reception 9 of a user.

La surface inférieure (non visible sur les figures) de l'embase centrale 10 présente une paroi 106 s'étendant sensiblement perpendiculairement à la surface inférieure de l'embase centrale 10.The lower surface (not visible in the figures) of the central base 10 has a wall 106 extending substantially perpendicular to the lower surface of the central base 10.

Le module adaptateur 1 présente une paire de patins 13a, 13b s'étendant parallèlement de part et d'autre de l'embase centrale 10. Plus précisément, un premier patin 13a est disposé à droite de l'embase centrale 10 (le patin droit) et un deuxième patin 13b est disposé à gauche de l'embase centrale 10 (le patin gauche).The adapter module 1 has a pair of pads 13a, 13b extending parallel on either side of the central base 10. More specifically, a first shoe 13a is disposed to the right of the central base 10 (the right shoe ) and a second shoe 13b is arranged to the left of the central base 10 (the shoe left).

Chacun des patins 13a, 13b est destiné à être fixé sur un ski d'une paire de skis. Pour ce faire, les patins 13a, 13b présentent une forme sensiblement identique à celle que l'on retrouve sur les chaussures de skis. Ainsi, il est possible d'utiliser des fixations de ski classique ou standard pour fixer le module adaptateur 1 sur une paire de skis.Each of the pads 13a, 13b is intended to be fixed to a ski of a pair of skis. To do this, the pads 13a, 13b have a shape substantially identical to that which is found on ski boots. Thus, it is possible to use classic or standard ski bindings to fix the adapter module 1 on a pair of skis.

Afin de faciliter la glisse des skis et le pilotage du système, l'embase centrale 10 et les patins 13a, 13b s'étendent parallèlement.In order to facilitate the sliding of the skis and the steering of the system, the central base 10 and the pads 13a, 13b extend in parallel.

L'embase centrale 10 est montée de manière articulée sur les patins 13a, 13b. Plus précisément, l'embase centrale 10 est montée sur les patins 13a, 13b par le biais de moyens de bascule 11 et de moyens de décalage 14.The central base 10 is hingedly mounted on the pads 13a, 13b. More specifically, the central base 10 is mounted on the pads 13a, 13b by means of rocking means 11 and offset means 14.

Les moyens de bascule 11 sont configurés pour permettre le déplacement, dans un premier mouvement de bascule, du premier patin 13a vers l'embase centrale 10, c'est-à-dire vers le haut, et du deuxième patin 13b dans une direction opposée, c'est-à-dire vers le bas.The rocking means 11 are configured to allow the movement, in a first rocking movement, of the first shoe 13a towards the central base 10, that is to say upwards, and of the second shoe 13b in an opposite direction , that is to say down.

Dans un deuxième mouvement de bascule, le premier patin 13a est déplacé dans une direction opposée à l'embase centrale 10, c'est-à-dire vers le bas, et le deuxième patin 13b est déplacé vers l'embase centrale 10, c'est-à-dire vers le haut.In a second rocking movement, the first shoe 13a is moved in a direction opposite to the central base 10, that is to say downward, and the second shoe 13b is moved towards the central base 10, c that is to say up.

Lors des premiers et deuxième mouvements de bascule, les patins 13a, 13b sont déplacés simultanément.During the first and second rocking movements, the pads 13a, 13b are moved simultaneously.

Pour ce faire, les moyens de bascule 11 comprennent un étrier 110 en forme de U dont la base du U est montée mobile en rotation sur la paroi 106 de l'embase centrale 10.To do this, the rocking means 11 comprise a U-shaped stirrup 110, the base of the U of which is rotatably mounted on the wall 106 of the central base 10.

Les extrémités de l'étrier 110 sont chacune reliées à un patin 13a, 13b par le biais d'un bras de bascule 111. Chaque bras de bascule 111 est monté mobile ou articulé au niveau d'une extrémité de l'étrier 110 et d'un patin 13a, 13b par le biais d'une articulation 112 du type liaison rotule, c'est-à-dire une liaison présentant trois degrés de liberté en rotation.The ends of the stirrup 110 are each connected to a shoe 13a, 13b by means of a rocker arm 111. Each rocker arm 111 is mounted movable or articulated at one end of the stirrup 110 and d 'a pad 13a, 13b by means of a joint 112 of the ball joint type, that is to say a link having three degrees of freedom in rotation.

Ainsi, lors d'un virage à droite, par exemple, l'étrier 110 bascule selon le premier mouvement de bascule (dans le sens antihoraire) de sorte que le premier patin 13a (patin droit) se déplace vers l'embase centrale 10 (vers le haut) et que le deuxième patin 13b (patin gauche) se déplace dans la direction opposée, en s'éloignant de l'embase (vers le bas).Thus, during a right turn, for example, the stirrup 110 switches according to the first rocking movement (counterclockwise) so that the first shoe 13a (right shoe) moves towards the central base 10 (upwards) and that the second shoe 13b (left shoe) moves in the opposite direction , moving away from the base (down).

On comprend bien évidemment que pour un virage à gauche, les déplacements ci-dessus sont inversés. Plus précisément, l'étrier 110 bascule selon le deuxième mouvement de bascule (dans le sens horaire) de sorte que le deuxième patin 13b (patin gauche) se déplace vers l'embase centrale 10 (vers le haut) et que le premier patin 13a (patin droit) se déplace dans la direction opposée, en s'éloignant de l'embase (vers le bas). Cette situation ou position est illustrée sur la figure 10.It is of course understood that for a left turn, the above displacements are reversed. More specifically, the stirrup 110 rocks according to the second rocking movement (clockwise) so that the second shoe 13b (left shoe) moves towards the central base 10 (upwards) and that the first shoe 13a (right shoe) moves in the opposite direction, away from the base (down). This situation or position is illustrated on the figure 10 .

Un tel basculement permet donc à l'utilisateur du module adaptateur 1 de négocier un virage de manière plus aisée et sécurisée. En effet, ce basculement permet l'inclinaison des patins 13a, 13b et des skis, ce qui facilite le déplacement dans les courbes d'une piste de ski.Such a tilting therefore allows the user of the adapter module 1 to negotiate a turn more easily and securely. Indeed, this tilting allows the inclination of the pads 13a, 13b and the skis, which facilitates movement in the curves of a ski slope.

Ce basculement permet donc à l'utilisateur du module adaptateur de négocier aisément des virages relativement serrés.This tilting therefore allows the user of the adapter module to easily negotiate relatively tight turns.

Afin de limiter les basculements intempestifs du module adaptateur 1, la base de l'étrier 110 comprend une jambe 113, s'étendant perpendiculairement à la base de l'étrier 110, sur laquelle est monté un ou plusieurs éléments élastiques 114. Plus précisément, l'élément élastique 114 est monté entre la jambe 113 de l'étrier 110 et la surface inférieure de l'embase centrale 10 de sorte à améliorer la stabilité du module adaptateur 1 en fonctionnement.In order to limit untimely tilting of the adapter module 1, the base of the stirrup 110 comprises a leg 113, extending perpendicular to the base of the stirrup 110, on which one or more elastic elements 114. is mounted. the elastic element 114 is mounted between the leg 113 of the stirrup 110 and the lower surface of the central base 10 so as to improve the stability of the adapter module 1 in operation.

Dans cet exemple, l'élément élastique 114 se présente sous la forme d'un amortisseur à ressort. On pourrait également proposer un amortisseur du type amortisseur à gaz ou amortisseur hydraulique. Tout autre type d'élément élastique permettant de limiter les basculements non souhaités peut être mis en œuvre sans s'écarter du principe général de l'invention.In this example, the elastic element 114 is in the form of a spring damper. One could also propose a shock absorber of the gas shock absorber or hydraulic shock absorber type. Any other type of elastic element making it possible to limit unwanted tilting can be implemented without departing from the general principle of the invention.

Concernant les moyens de décalage 14, ils sont configurés pour déplacer, dans un premier mouvement de décalage, le premier patin 13a (le patin droit) vers l'avant et le deuxième patin 13b (le patin gauche) dans une direction opposée, c'est-à-dire vers l'arrière. Le premier mouvement de décalage survient lors d'un virage à droite.Regarding the offset means 14, they are configured to move, in a first offset movement, the first pad 13a (the right pad) towards the front and the second shoe 13b (the left shoe) in an opposite direction, that is to say towards the rear. The first shift movement occurs during a right turn.

Dans un deuxième mouvement de décalage, le premier patin 13a est déplacé vers l'arrière et le deuxième patin 13b est déplacé vers l'avant. Le deuxième mouvement de décalage survient lors d'un virage à gauche. Cette situation ou position est illustrée sur la figure 11.In a second offset movement, the first shoe 13a is moved backwards and the second shoe 13b is moved forward. The second shift movement occurs during a left turn. This situation or position is illustrated on the figure 11 .

Lors des premiers et deuxième mouvements de décalage, les patins 13a et 13b sont déplacés simultanément.During the first and second offset movements, the pads 13a and 13b are moved simultaneously.

Pour ce faire, les moyens de décalage 14 comprennent une platine de direction avant 141a et une platine de direction arrière 141b situées sensiblement aux extrémités opposées de l'embase centrale 10, les platines 141a 141b étant situées face à la surface inférieure de l'embase centrale 10.To do this, the shifting means 14 comprise a front steering plate 141a and a rear steering plate 141b situated substantially at the opposite ends of the central base 10, the plates 141a 141b being located opposite the lower surface of the base. central 10.

Comme illustré sur la figure 3 notamment, les platines de direction avant 141a et arrière 141b sont chacune solidaires de l'embase centrale 10 par le biais d'un support de platine 115 situé sur la surface inférieure de l'embase centrale 10.As illustrated in the figure 3 in particular, the front 141a and rear 141b steering plates are each secured to the central base 10 by means of a plate support 115 located on the lower surface of the central base 10.

Plus précisément, l'embase centrale 10 est montée de manière articulée sur les platines de direction 141a, 141b. Pour ce faire, les platines de direction 141a, 141b présentent chacune une rotule de direction (non visible sur les figures) qui coopère avec un logement correspondant ménagé dans le support de direction 115.More specifically, the central base 10 is hingedly mounted on the steering plates 141a, 141b. To do this, the steering plates 141a, 141b each have a steering ball joint (not visible in the figures) which cooperates with a corresponding housing formed in the steering support 115.

Ainsi, lors d'un virage, l'embase centrale 10 peut s'incliner (c'est-à-dire changer d'angle par rapport aux platines de direction 141a, 141b) de sorte à permettre les mouvements de bascule et de décalage décrits précédemment.Thus, during a turn, the central base 10 can tilt (that is to say change the angle relative to the steering plates 141a, 141b) so as to allow rocking and shifting movements described previously.

En complément de la rotule de direction, un élément élastique 116 est mis en œuvre entre le support de platine 115 et les platines 141a, 141b afin d'amortir les changements d'angles brutaux de l'embase centrale 10.In addition to the steering ball joint, an elastic element 116 is implemented between the plate support 115 and the plates 141a, 141b in order to dampen the sudden changes in angles of the central base 10.

Par exemple, l'élément élastique se présente sous la forme d'un Silentbloc (marque déposée).For example, the elastic element is in the form of a Silentbloc (registered trademark).

Chaque platine de direction 141a, 141b est reliée aux patins droit 13a et gauche 13b par une paire de bras articulés 142. Les bras articulés 142 d'une même paire de bras s'étendent parallèlement et sont fixés, à une première extrémité, sur le platine de direction et, à une deuxième extrémité, sur un montant 132 faisant saillie depuis le patin.Each turntable 141a, 141b is connected to the right pads 13a and left 13b by a pair of articulated arms 142. The articulated arms 142 of the same pair of arms extend parallel and are fixed, at a first end, on the steering plate and, at a second end, on an upright 132 protruding from the skate.

En d'autres termes, chaque patin 13a, 13b est solidaire des deux platines de direction 141a, 141b, la solidarisation d'un patin à chaque platine de direction étant assurée par une paire de bras articulés 142 parallèles.In other words, each shoe 13a, 13b is integral with the two steering plates 141a, 141b, the attachment of one shoe to each steering plate being ensured by a pair of articulated arms 142 parallel.

La solidarisation des bras articulés 142 au niveau de la platine de direction 141a, 141b et du montant 132 du patin 13a, 13b est obtenue au moyen d'une liaison rotule 143, c'est-à-dire une liaison présentant trois degrés de liberté en rotation.The articulation of the articulated arms 142 at the level of the steering plate 141a, 141b and the upright 132 of the shoe 13a, 13b is obtained by means of a ball joint 143, that is to say a link having three degrees of freedom in rotation.

Chaque paire de bras articulés 142 forme, avec une platine de direction 141a, 141b et un montant 132 d'un patin 13a, 13b un parallélogramme qui permet de maintenir les deux patins 13a, 13b parallèles et inclinés selon le même angle.Each pair of articulated arms 142 forms, with a steering plate 141a, 141b and an upright 132 of a shoe 13a, 13b, a parallelogram which makes it possible to maintain the two shoes 13a, 13b parallel and inclined at the same angle.

Ainsi, les virages peuvent être négociés par l'utilisateur de manière aisée et sécurisée.Thus, turns can be negotiated by the user easily and securely.

Il est à noter que le premier mouvement de bascule (c'est-à-dire lorsque le patin droit 13a monte) et le premier mouvement de décalage (c'est-à-dire lorsque le patin droit 13a avance) sont coordonnés ou synchronisés lors d'un virage à droite. En d'autres termes, lors d'un virage à droite, le premier patin 13a (patin droit) monte et avance tandis que le deuxième patin 13b (patin gauche) descend et recule.It should be noted that the first rocking movement (that is to say when the right shoe 13a goes up) and the first shift movement (that is to say when the right shoe 13a advances) are coordinated or synchronized during a right turn. In other words, during a right turn, the first pad 13a (right pad) rises and advances while the second pad 13b (left pad) descends and moves back.

De même, le deuxième mouvement de bascule (c'est-à-dire lorsque le patin gauche 13b monte) et le deuxième mouvement de décalage (c'est-à-dire lorsque le patin gauche 13b avance) sont coordonnés ou synchronisés lors d'un virage à gauche. En d'autres termes, lors d'un virage à gauche, le premier patin 13a (patin droit) descend et recule tandis que le deuxième patin 13b (patin gauche) monte et avance, tel qu'illustré sur la figure 11.Similarly, the second rocking movement (that is to say when the left shoe 13b goes up) and the second shift movement (that is to say when the left shoe 13b advances) are coordinated or synchronized during 'a left turn. In other words, during a left turn, the first shoe 13a (right shoe) goes down and backwards while the second shoe 13b (left shoe) goes up and advances, as illustrated on the figure 11 .

La combinaison de moyens de bascule 11 et de moyens de décalage 14 des patins 13a, 13b permet un guidage ou pilotage aisé du module adaptateur 1.The combination of tilting means 11 and means 14 for shifting the pads 13a, 13b allows easy guidance or piloting of the adapter module 1.

La coordination des mouvement de bascule et de décalage permet d'améliorer davantage le guidage ou contrôle du module adaptateur 1.The coordination of rocking and shifting movements further improves the guidance or control of the adapter module 1.

En effet, l'inclinaison des patins 13a, 13b ainsi que leur décalage permet de reproduire sensiblement le mouvement et la position des pieds d'un skieur lors d'un virage.Indeed, the inclination of the pads 13a, 13b as well as their offset makes it possible to substantially reproduce the movement and the position of the feet of a skier during a turn.

Afin de sécuriser davantage l'utilisation du module adaptateur 1, des moyens de freinage 15 optionnels sont prévus.In order to further secure the use of the adapter module 1, optional braking means 15 are provided.

Les moyens de freinage 15 comprennent deux pédales 151 latérales (pédale droite et pédale gauche) situées au niveau de l'extrémité avant des patins 13a, 13b. Chaque pédale 151 est configurée, lorsqu'elle est actionnée, pour déplacer une griffe 153 située au niveau de l'extrémité arrière des patins 13a, 13b.The braking means 15 comprise two lateral pedals 151 (right pedal and left pedal) located at the front end of the pads 13a, 13b. Each pedal 151 is configured, when actuated, to move a claw 153 located at the rear end of the pads 13a, 13b.

Ainsi, l'actionnement de la pédale 151 droite permet le déplacement de la griffe 153 droite et l'actionnement de la pédale 151 gauche permet le déplacement de la griffe 153 gauche.Thus, the actuation of the pedal 151 right allows the movement of the claw 153 right and the actuation of the pedal 151 left allows the displacement of the claw 153 left.

Lorsqu'une pédale 151 est actionnée par le pied de l'utilisateur, un mécanisme de biellettes 154 permet de transmettre ce déplacement de la pédale 151 jusqu'à la griffe 153 correspondante. Ainsi, la griffe 153 s'abaisse et se plante dans la neige pour freiner, par friction, le module adaptateur 1. Lorsque la pédale 151 est relâchée, un ressort de rappel permet de remonter la griffe 153.When a pedal 151 is actuated by the foot of the user, a link mechanism 154 makes it possible to transmit this movement of the pedal 151 to the corresponding claw 153. Thus, the claw 153 lowers and crashes in the snow to brake, by friction, the adapter module 1. When the pedal 151 is released, a return spring makes it possible to raise the claw 153.

De manière optionnelle, les moyens de freinage 15 comprennent en outre un ou deux leviers additionnels 152 actionnables manuellement par l'utilisateur.Optionally, the braking means 15 also comprise one or two additional levers 152 which can be actuated manually by the user.

Selon une première variante, un seul levier additionnel 152 est mis en œuvre et permet, lorsqu'il est actionné par l'utilisateur, de déplacer les deux griffes 153 simultanément pour procéder au freinage du module adaptateur 1.According to a first variant, a single additional lever 152 is implemented and allows, when actuated by the user, to move the two claws 153 simultaneously to brake the adapter module 1.

Selon une deuxième variante, deux leviers additionnels 152 sont mis en œuvre. Plus précisément les leviers additionnels sont situés de part et d'autre de l'embase centrale 10 ou du dispositif d'accueil 9 de l'utilisateur. Dans ce cas, chaque levier additionnel 152 permet le déplacement d'une griffe 153.According to a second variant, two additional levers 152 are implemented. More specifically, the additional levers are located on either side of the central base 10 or of the user reception device 9. In this case, each additional lever 152 allows the movement of a claw 153.

Les figures 6 à 9 illustrent différents modes de réalisation d'un système comprenant un module adaptateur 1 conforme à l'invention sur lequel est monté un dispositif d'accueil 9 d'un utilisateur. Afin de faciliter la compréhension des figures, la paire de skis n'est pas illustrée. On comprend bien évidement que les skis sont fixés au module adaptateur 1 au niveau des patins 13a, 13b.The figures 6 to 9 illustrate various embodiments of a system comprising an adapter module 1 according to the invention on which is mounted a reception device 9 for a user. In order to facilitate the understanding of the figures, the pair of skis is not illustrated. It is clearly understood that the skis are fixed to the adapter module 1 at the pads 13a, 13b.

La figure 6 illustre un premier mode de réalisation du système dans lequel le dispositif d'accueil 9 d'un utilisateur prend la forme d'un module 94 constitué d'une assise 941 et d'un guidon 942. Dans cet exemple, l'assise 941 prend la forme d'une selle.The figure 6 illustrates a first embodiment of the system in which the reception device 9 of a user takes the form of a module 94 consisting of a seat 941 and a handlebar 942. In this example, the seat 941 takes the shape of a saddle.

Le dispositif d'accueil 9 comprend un mécanisme de fixation 900 qui permet de fixer le dispositif d'accueil 9 sur l'embase centrale 10 au niveau des moyens de solidarisation 101 du module adaptateur 1. Le mécanisme de fixation 900 présente donc, d'une part, une forme adaptée pour coopérer avec la rainure 104 et, d'autre part, un logement coopérant avec les moyens de verrouillage 105.The reception device 9 comprises a fixing mechanism 900 which makes it possible to fix the reception device 9 on the central base 10 at the level of the means 101 for securing the adapter module 1. The fixing mechanism 900 therefore has, on the one hand, a shape adapted to cooperate with the groove 104 and, on the other hand, a housing cooperating with the locking means 105.

La figure 7 illustre un deuxième mode de réalisation du système dans lequel le dispositif d'accueil 9 d'un utilisateur prend la forme d'une luge 92. Dans cet exemple, la luge 92 présente un ou deux manches d'actionnement manuel 921 permettant d'actionner les pédales 151 des moyens de freinage 15.The figure 7 illustrates a second embodiment of the system in which the reception device 9 of a user takes the form of a sledge 92. In this example, the sledge 92 has one or two manual actuation handles 921 making it possible to actuate the pedals 151 of the braking means 15.

De façon identique au premier mode de réalisation décrit précédemment, la luge 92 présente un mécanisme de fixation 900 coopérant avec les moyens de solidarisation 101 du module adaptateur 1.Similarly to the first embodiment described above, the sledge 92 has a fixing mechanism 900 cooperating with the means 101 for securing the adapter module 1.

La figure 8 illustre un troisième mode de réalisation du système dans lequel le dispositif d'accueil 9 d'un utilisateur prend la forme d'un siège 93 adapté pour recevoir une personne handicapée.The figure 8 illustrates a third embodiment of the system in which the reception device 9 of a user takes the form of a seat 93 adapted to receive a disabled person.

De façon identique aux modes de réalisation décrits précédemment, le siège 93 pour personne handicapée présente un mécanisme de fixation 900 coopérant avec les moyens de solidarisation 101 du module adaptateur 1. Dans cet exemple, le mécanisme de fixation 900 comprend, en outre, un amortisseur 901 permettant d'améliorer le confort de la personne qui prend place dans le siège 93.Similarly to the embodiments described above, the seat 93 for a disabled person has a fixing mechanism 900 cooperating with the attachment means 101 of the adapter module 1. In this example, the fixing mechanism 900 further comprises a shock absorber 901 to improve the comfort of the person who sits in the seat 93.

De manière générale, l'utilisation d'un siège 93 pour personne handicapée nécessite un accompagnateur qui dirige/pilote le système. En ce sens, le siège 93 illustré dans cet exemple ne présente pas de manche d'actionnement des moyens de freinage 15 du module adaptateur 1. On comprend évidemment qu'un tel manche d'actionnement peut être ajouté au siège 93.In general, the use of a disabled person seat 93 requires an attendant who directs / controls the system. In this sense, the seat 93 illustrated in this example does not have an actuating handle for the braking means 15 of the adapter module 1. It is obviously understood that such an actuating handle can be added to the seat 93.

La figure 9 illustre un quatrième mode de réalisation du système dans lequel le dispositif d'accueil 9 d'un utilisateur prend la forme d'un vélo-ski 91 (partiellement illustré). Dans cet exemple, le vélo-ski 91 présente un système de freinage intégré qui permet d'actionner le levier additionnel 152 du module adaptateur 1.The figure 9 illustrates a fourth embodiment of the system in which the reception device 9 of a user takes the form of a bicycle-ski 91 (partially illustrated). In this example, the bike-ski 91 has an integrated braking system which makes it possible to actuate the additional lever 152 of the adapter module 1.

De façon identique aux modes de réalisation décrits précédemment, le vélo-ski 91 présente un mécanisme de fixation 900 coopérant avec les moyens de solidarisation 101 du module adaptateur 1.Similarly to the embodiments described above, the bike-ski 91 has a fixing mechanism 900 cooperating with the means 101 for securing the adapter module 1.

Les modes de réalisation du système décrits et illustrés sur les figures 6 à 9 ne sont pas exhaustifs. On comprend bien évidemment que d'autres dispositifs d'accueil 9 d'un utilisateur peuvent être fixés sur le module adaptateur 1 de l'invention. On comprend également que le dispositif d'accueil 9 d'un utilisateur peut être remplacé par un équipement de loisir ou un équipement de secours comme un brancard, par exemple.The embodiments of the system described and illustrated on the figures 6 to 9 are not exhaustive. It is of course understood that other reception devices 9 for a user can be fixed to the adapter module 1 of the invention. It is also understood that the reception device 9 of a user can be replaced by recreational equipment or emergency equipment such as a stretcher, for example.

Autres aspects et variantesOther aspects and variants

Comme illustré sur les figures 1 à 5, le module adaptateur comprend des repose-pieds 133 qui, dans cet exemple, sont fixés sur les montants 132 situés à l'avant du module adaptateur 1. Ces repose-pieds 133 sont situés à proximité des pédales 151 de frein afin de faciliter l'actionnement des pédales 151 par l'utilisateur.As illustrated on Figures 1 to 5 , the adapter module comprises footrests 133 which, in this example, are fixed to the uprights 132 located at the front of the adapter module 1. These footrests 133 are located near the brake pedals 151 in order to facilitate the actuation of the pedals 151 by the user.

Dans une variante (non illustrée), les pédales 151 sont substituées, ou complétées, par des leviers ou poignées destiné(e)s à être actionné(e)s manuellement par l'utilisateur. De façon similaire aux pédales 151, les leviers ou poignées sont actionné(e)s de manière indépendante pour agir au choix sur la griffe droite ou la griffe gauche.In a variant (not shown), the pedals 151 are replaced, or supplemented, by levers or handles intended to be actuated manually by the user. Similar to pedals 151, the levers or handles are actuated independently to act on the right claw or the left claw as desired.

Les leviers ou poignées sont relié(e)s aux griffes de freinage 153 par un système de câbles classique, par exemple.The levers or handles are connected to the brake shoes 153 by a conventional cable system, for example.

Lorsque ces leviers ou poignées sont ajoutées en complément des pédales 151, l'utilisateur a la possibilité d'actionner les griffes de freinage, soit avec ses pieds, soit avec ses mains.When these levers or handles are added in addition to the pedals 151, the user has the possibility of actuating the brake claws, either with his feet or with his hands.

Lorsque les leviers ou poignées se substituent aux pédales 151, alors les griffes de freinage 153 ne peuvent être actionnées que manuellement par l'utilisateur.When the levers or handles replace the pedals 151, then the brake claws 153 can only be actuated manually by the user.

Le module adaptateur 1 peut être fabriqué dans de nombreux matériaux.The adapter module 1 can be made from many materials.

Par exemple, les différentes pièces du module adaptateur 1 peuvent être fabriquées en carbone, en titane, en acier, en aluminium ou en plastique. Une combinaison de certains de ces matériaux peut également être prévue.For example, the different parts of the adapter module 1 can be made of carbon, titanium, steel, aluminum or plastic. A combination of some of these materials may also be provided.

On comprend bien évidemment que les pièces peuvent être fabriquées dans d'autres matériaux, sans s'écarter du principe général de l'invention.It is of course understood that the parts can be made of other materials, without departing from the general principle of the invention.

Le module adaptateur 1 selon l'invention présente des dimensions adaptées pour que ce dernier puisse être rangé et transporté dans un sac à dos, par exemple. Son faible encombrement lui permet donc d'être emporté facilement.The adapter module 1 according to the invention has suitable dimensions so that the latter can be stored and transported in a backpack, for example. Its small footprint therefore allows it to be carried easily.
