Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a binding for retaining a boot on a snowshoe and more particularly to an improvement which allows good lateral hold of the heel and which makes it easier for the user to put them on.
  • the invention also relates to the snowshoe equipped with the binding of the invention.
  • Snowshoes have been known for many years, as they have been used for several centuries by people, especially Scandinavians, to move on snow.
  • snowshoes are also used by users who hike and walk, and even compete. But users are of course looking for safety, performance, and in particular comfort, but also ease of fitting.
  • retaining devices intended to be fitted to snowshoes are known, such as articulated plates comprising elements for fixing the shoe.
  • These elements include in particular front and rear binding elements configured to respectively retain the front end and the heel of the boot.
  • bindings are for example those described by US20160144266 And WO9628227 .
  • the fitting of the boot and its retention are generally done by a set of flexible or semi-rigid straps comprising tightening buckles, their tightening lengthening the footwear.
  • the present invention brings an improvement by proposing a binding for snowshoes which is easy to put on, while ensuring good hold of the shoe.
  • the forward movable interlocking wall coupled with the forward traction means allows for simplified fitting, and its movable nature allows the interlocking wall to accommodate a greater range of shoe sizes.
  • the binding according to the invention may also have one or more of the following characteristics.
  • the side links can be mounted hinged at their lower ends to the bottom of the binding, the translation of the interlocking wall being ensured by the tilting of the side links.
  • the side links can also be mounted hinged at their upper ends to the interlocking wall.
  • the lateral connections may comprise at their upper ends translation guides through which the lateral portions of the interlocking wall pass.
  • the side links can be mounted hinged at their lower ends to the bottom of the binding.
  • the interlocking wall may be elastically deformable, the transition from the shoe retaining position to the rest and release position taking place by elastic deformation of the interlocking wall, the shoe retaining position corresponding to a configuration of least deformation of the interlocking wall.
  • the interlocking wall and the lateral connections can be made in the form of a one-piece assembly of elastically deformable material, the transition from the retaining position of the shoe to the rest and release position taking place by elastic deformation of the interlocking wall and the side connections.
  • each of the side links can be located forward relative to the central rear portion
  • the reel may be a ratchet reel.
  • the binding may comprise lateral holding pieces, arranged laterally on either side, at the level of the metatarsals of the user's foot, behind in relation to the organ of front restraint, comprising passages for the traction cables and fixed at their lower end to the bottom of the binding.
  • the side holding pieces may include passages for the traction cables oriented towards the rear retaining member at the rear, and towards the retractor at the front.
  • the bottom of the binding may consist of a sieve of the snowshoe or else of a plate articulated with respect to the sieve of the snowshoe.
  • the invention also relates to a snowshoe, characterized in that it comprises a binding as previously described.
  • THE figures 1 to 5 show a first embodiment of attachment (1) implemented in a snowshoe (2), once in the position of rest and release of a boot (CH).
  • THE figures 1 and 2 show the snowshoe (2) in profile, the figures 3 and 4 show the snowshoe (2) in rear three-quarter view, the figure 5 shows the snowshoe (2) seen from above.
  • the snowshoe designated under the general reference (2) which comprises the binding (1) according to the invention, is in the form of an elongated plate of dimensions greater than those of the shoe, advantageously perforated forming in a known manner a sieve (18) of the racket, of general plane of symmetry (P) comprising a set of walls supporting the binding (1) of the invention, intended to hold the shoe (CH) of the user.
  • This hinged plate can be adjustable in length, so the binding can cover more shoe sizes.
  • Said sieve (18) with its set of internal walls forms a general lower support surface on the snow allowing the user not to sink too far into the snow and this, thanks to the bearing surface, of dimensions greater than the lower surface of the sole without sieve (18).
  • the binding (1) for retaining the shoe (CH) on the sieve (18) of the snowshoe (2) is for example fixed on the sieve (18) comprising means for retaining the front of the shoe (CH), and rear boot retaining means (CH).
  • Each of the retaining means being constituted by a retaining member (4, 5) of the boot (CH), namely a front retaining member (4) and a rear retaining member (5).
  • the front (AV) is located towards the user's toes, while the rear (AR) is located towards the user's heel.
  • the rear retaining member (5) is movable between a position of rest and release of the shoe (CH) shown in figure 1 , and a shoe holding position (CH) shown at figure 2 .
  • the passage from one position to the other is carried out either by elastic deformation or by pivoting.
  • the rear retaining member (5) is a deformable element, made for example of plastic material of the expanded and reticulated polyurethane type. It consists of an interlocking wall (8) forming a cavity open towards the front (AV), formed by a central rear portion (9) whose lateral ends are extended by respectively lateral portions (10a, 10b) s extending forward (AV).
  • each of the lateral links (11a, 11b) are located forward relative to the central rear portion (9), whether in the barefoot position ( figure 1 ) or in the shod position ( picture 2 ).
  • the lateral connections (11a, 11b) bear against the lateral part of the user's heel.
  • the lateral connections (11a, 11b) are in particular connected at their upper end to the interlocking wall (8) at its lateral portions (10a, 10b).
  • each of the lateral links (11a, 11b) are according to a first embodiment, represented in the figures 1 to 5 , pivotally mounted on the bottom of the binding (1), which here is the sieve (18), so that the interlocking wall (8) of the rear retaining member (5) is pivotable around the transverse axis (X, X').
  • the front/rear inclination of the lateral links (11a, 11b) makes it possible to translate the interlocking wall (8) carried by the upper end of the said lateral links (11a, 11b).
  • the binding (2) is mounted on an articulated plate (3) which forms the bottom of the binding (1) instead of the sieve (18).
  • the articulated plate (3) is in particular articulated with respect to the sieve (18) around a transverse axis (X-X') at the level of the front tip of the shoe (CH).
  • the traction means consist of traction cables (16a, 16'a - 16b, 16'b) forming lateral links (13a, 13b) connecting the front ends of the lateral links (10a, 10b) of the wall of fitting (8) to the front retainer (4), and in particular to a retractor (14) located on a cover (15) of the front retainer (4).
  • Cover is understood here to mean a plate or tab bearing against the top of the foot at the level of the metatarsals, at the front.
  • connections are advantageously and by way of example of execution, constituted by traction cables (16a, 16'a - 16b, 16'b), of which at least one of the ends is intended to be wound around a winder (14).
  • Said retractor (14) is manipulated by the user to move the interlocking wall from its rest position, as illustrated in figure 1 , 3 And 6 , towards its shoe retaining position as illustrated in figure 2 , 4 , 7 and 8 , and vice versa from this position to its shoe release rest position (CH).
  • the retractor (14) can in particular be a ratchet retractor, allowing the release only by actuating a button for example, while the tightening is carried out by rotation of the retractor (14).
  • the retractor (14) is advantageously of the "Boa” (registered trademark) type and is arranged on a cover (15) of the front retainer (4).
  • the movement from the rest and release position of the shoe to the retaining position is achieved by simple elastic deformation.
  • the lower parts of the lateral links (11a, 11b) will not be pivotally mounted but simply secured to the sieve (18).
  • the traction cables (16a, 16'a - 16b, 16'b), the interlocking wall (8) and the front retainer (5) form a tight loop, when the reel is actuated , on the top of the user's foot and around his ankle.
  • the boot (CH) is then perfectly pressed against the bottom of the binding (1).
  • the fitting is nevertheless easier and faster than in the case of straps to be wrapped around the foot and ankle before tightening.
  • the interlocking wall (8) and possibly the side portions (10a, 10b) are then elastic, and the retaining position corresponds to the state of least deformation.
  • each side a lateral retaining piece (17a, 17b), fixed at their lower end to the bottom of the binding (1), that is that is to the articulated plate (3) or to the sieve (18).
  • Each of the side holding pieces (17a, 17b) has passages for the traction cables (16a, 16'a and 16b, 16'b).
  • Each side piece (17a, 17b) serves as a guide for the traction cables (16a, 16'a and 16b, 16'b), with passages for the traction cables (16a, 16'a and 16b, 16'b ) oriented towards the rear retaining member (4) at the rear, and towards the forward traction means, here the retractor (14), at the front.
  • the side holding pieces (17a, 17b) thus form an angled transmission for the traction cables (16a, 16'a and 16b, 16'b), these transmissions make it possible to maintain said traction cables (16a, 16'a and 16b, 16'b) lowered at the level of the metatarsals and thus to avoid friction of the traction cables (16a, 16'a and 16b, 16'b) against the ankle of the user.
  • side retaining parts (17a, 17b) are arranged between the front retainer (4) and the rear retainer (5) on the path of the traction cables.
  • the interlocking wall (9) with its two side portions (10a, 10b) as well as the two side connections (11a, 11b) is an assembly made of a deformable material. It will be noted that this assembly is held vertically in a natural way thanks to the two lateral links (11a, 11b) which extend upwards (HA), so that the central rear portion (9) of the interlocking wall (8) stands at a height (H) of between 3 and 9 cm, relative to the plane of the support of the boot (CH) on the bottom of the binding (1), which is either the sieve (18) or the articulated plate (3) according to construction, so that in the retaining position this central rear portion (9) comes to press forwards on the upper part of the heel of the shoe (CH).
  • the rear retaining element is a one-piece assembly made of deformable material, the lower end of the lateral links (11a - 11b) of which are fixed according to the embodiments, either to the sieve (18) or to the articulated plate ( 3).
  • the forward movement of the central rear portion (9) of the interlocking wall (8) against the top of the heel of the boot (CH) takes place in this case by deformation of the entire rear retainer ( 5).
  • FIG 10 represents a variant embodiment of the figure 9 , according to which the lower ends of the lateral links (11a - 11b) are hinged to the bottom of the binding (2), that is to say according to the embodiments, either to the sieve (18), or to the plate articulated (3).
  • the forward movement of the central rear portion (9) of the interlocking wall (8) against the top of the heel of the shoe is done in this case mainly by rotation and tilting of the lateral links (11a - 11b) .
  • figure 11 represents another variant of execution of the figure 9 And 10 , in which the upper ends of the lateral links (11a - 11b) are articulated on the lateral portions (10a, 10b).
  • the side portions (10a, 10b) are slidably mounted on the upper ends of the side links (11a - 11b) which comprise translation guides through which the side portions (10a, 10b) of the interlocking wall (8) pass .
  • the bindings (1) according to the invention are adjustable in length, which makes it possible to have a greater range of adjustment of sizes adapted to different shoe sizes.
  • the fitting of the racket (2) by means of the bindings (1) according to the invention is also done in a natural and simple way, the lateral connections (11a - 11b) allowing a pre-positioning of the interlocking wall (8) , thus ensuring easy handling, because the interlocking wall (8) is then raised and ready to be gripped.
  • the traction means (16a, 16'a - 16b, 16'b) are actuated, for example by means of the retractor (14).
  • the interlocking wall (8) is then driven towards the front retaining member (4), which locks and holds the shoe (CH) in the binding (1).
