Description

FIXATIONS DE RAQUETTES A NEIGE DOMAINE TECHNIQUE DE ' INVENTION SNOWSHOE ATTACHMENTS TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION
La présente invention concerne un dispositif de fixation de chaussures pour raquettes à neige.The present invention relates to a shoe binding device for snowshoes.
A l'origine, les raquettes à neige étaient constituées d'un cadre de bois, de différentes formes, à l'intérieur duquel étaient tendues des sangles de peau ou des cordelettes constituant un tamis. De nos jours, les matières synthétiques et le métal ont remplacé le bois et les sangles, mais les formes générales des raquettes elles-mêmes sont restées pratiquement inchangées car elles donnent globalement satisfaction. Il en va tout autrement des moyens, généralement appelés fixations, destinés à solidariser les chaussures de l'utilisateur auxdites raquettes.Originally, the snowshoes consisted of a wooden frame, of different shapes, inside which were stretched skin straps or cords constituting a sieve. Nowadays, synthetic materials and metal have replaced wood and straps, but the general shapes of the rackets themselves have remained practically unchanged because they are generally satisfactory. It is quite different from the means, generally called bindings, intended to secure the user's shoes to said rackets.
En effet, particulièrement dans le cas des raquettes dites "canadiennes", la réalisation de ces fixations n'est pas aisée car la chaussure doit être immobilisée en translation longitudinale et latérale, par rapport à la raquette, tout en gardant la possibilité de se déplacer dans un plan vertical en tournant autour d'un axe fictif, sensiblement horizontal, situé à proximité du tamis, une ouverture, généralement appelée fenêtre, qui commence en avant de cet axe fictif étant ménagée dans ledit tamis pour dégager la zone balayée par l'avant-pied lors du basculement du pied pendant la foulée. Ainsi, le talon de la chaussure peut se soulever naturellement pendant la foulée sans soulever l'arrière de la raquette qui, lui, doit rester au maximum en contact avec le sol.Indeed, particularly in the case of so-called "Canadian" snowshoes, the realization of these bindings is not easy because the shoe must be immobilized in longitudinal and lateral translation, relative to the racket, while retaining the possibility of moving in a vertical plane by turning around a fictitious, substantially horizontal axis, located near the sieve, an opening, generally called window, which begins in front of this fictitious axis being formed in said sieve to clear the area swept by forefoot when tilting the foot during the stride. Thus, the heel of the shoe can be lifted naturally during the stride without lifting the rear of the racket which, for its part, must remain in contact with the ground as much as possible.
Les raquettes dites "françaises" de dimensions généralement inférieures aux précédentes se caractérisent, quant à elles, par un système d'attaches maintenant plaquée contre le tamis la semelle de la chaussure, sur toute sa longueur, en cherchant a éviter au maximum les déplacements en rotation ou en translation de la chaussure par rapport à la raquette et la raquette accompagne donc la chaussure dans tous ses mouvements.Snowshoes called "French" generally smaller than the previous ones are characterized by a system of fasteners now pressed against the sieve the sole of the shoe, over its entire length, seeking a avoid as much as possible the rotational or translational movements of the shoe relative to the racket and the racket therefore accompanies the shoe in all its movements.
En ce qui concerne donc la raquette canadienne, qui nous intéresse plus par iculièrment dans le cadre de cette invention, la fixation de la chaussure a tout d'abord été effectuée à l'aide de sangles de cuir avec lesquelles était confectionné un harnais, constitué d'une sorte de poche, dans laquelle venait se loger la partie avant de la chaussure, et d'une sangle, de longueur réglable par un système à boucles et dont les extrémités étaient attachées à la poche précitée, ladite sangle venant s'enrouler autour de la cheville de l'utilisateur afin d'éviter que la chaussure ne recule et ne sorte de la poche avant. De nos jours, dans ce type de fixation, le cuir a été remplacé par des sangles synthétiques, ou même par du caoutchouc, sans réussir cependant à corriger les défauts majeurs qu'il avait dès l'origine, et qui tiennent en fait à sa conception même, à savoir un manque de tenue latérale, rendant très difficile le contrôle en direction de la raquette, et une compression de la chaussure, sous la tension des sangles, entravant la circulation sanguine avec l' inconfort et tous les risques de gelure que cela peut entraîner en période hivernale.As for the Canadian racket, which interests us more iculièrment in the context of this invention, the fixing of the shoe was first carried out using leather straps with which was made a harness, consisting a sort of pocket, in which the front part of the shoe was housed, and a strap, of length adjustable by a buckle system and the ends of which were attached to the aforementioned pocket, said strap being wound up around the user's ankle to prevent the shoe from moving back and out of the front pocket. Nowadays, in this type of fastening, leather has been replaced by synthetic straps, or even by rubber, without however succeeding in correcting the major defects that it had from the start, and which are in fact due to its very design, namely a lack of lateral grip, making it very difficult to control towards the racket, and compression of the shoe, under the tension of the straps, hampering blood circulation with the discomfort and all the risks of frostbite that this can result in winter.
Des progrés sensibles ont été accomplis réœmment en remplaçant ce harnais par une plaque rigide pouvant pivoter sur environ 270° autour d'un axe situé au voisinage du tamis et disposé perpendiculairement au plan de symétrie générale de la raquette. Si ce type de fixation a plaque pivotante permet de maîtriser le contrôle en direction de la raquette, il impose cependant l'utilisation de chaussures rigides car l'immobilisation de la chaussure sur ladite plaque s'opère soit en emprisonnant la semelle entre un étrier avant et un levier maintenant plaqué l'arrière de la chaussure sur la plaque, ce qui nécessite une grande rigidité de la semelle pour éviter que celle-ci n'échappe de ces moyens d'accrochage, soit en immobilisant ladite chaussure sur la plaque à l'aide de sangles qui doivent prendre appui sur une chaussure à coque rigide pour ne pas risquer de comprimer le pied lui-même à l'intérieur de la chaussure. Or ces chaussures se révèlent toujours très coûteuses à l'achat, et, bien souvent inconfortables et lourdes à l'utilisation.Significant progress has been made recently by replacing this harness with a rigid plate which can pivot about 270 ° around an axis located in the vicinity of the sieve and arranged perpendicular to the plane of general symmetry of the racket. If this type of attachment to a pivoting plate allows control in the direction of the racket to be controlled, it nevertheless requires the use of rigid shoes because the immobilization of the shoe on said plate takes place either by trapping the sole between a front stirrup and a lever now pressed the back of the shoe on the plate, which requires great rigidity of the sole to prevent it from escaping of these attachment means, either by immobilizing said shoe on the plate using straps which must bear on a shoe with a rigid shell so as not to risk compressing the foot itself inside the shoe. However, these shoes are always very expensive to buy, and very often uncomfortable and heavy to use.
La solution idéale, vers laquelle il faut tendre, consiste à utiliser des chaussures souples et imperméables, pour un meilleur confort et une plus grande légèreté de l'ensemble, telles que des chaussures de ski de fond avec une fixation appropriée.The ideal solution, towards which you should strive, consists in using flexible and waterproof boots, for better comfort and greater lightness of the whole, such as cross-country ski boots with an appropriate binding.
Les dimensions et les masses en mouvement, lors de la foulée, étant fondamentalement différentes entre ski de fond et raquette, ne permettent cependant pas l'utilisation d'un ensemble fixation de ski de fond et chaussure correspondante car l'axe de basculement se situe légèrement en avant du pied en ski de fond alors qu'il se situe au niveau de la tête du premier métatarsien en raquette à neige. Il n'est pas possible non plus d'envisager le simple montage de fixations de ski de fond sur une plaque pivotante car les mécanismes de verrouillage et de déverrouillage de ces fixations, situés en avant des moyens d'accrochage de l'extrémité avant de la chaussure, représentent alors une proéminence qui vient heurter le sol à chaque foulée, lors du basculement du pied, perturbant, de façon inacceptable, là marche du raquetteur et retirant, de ce fait, tout intérêt à cette disposition.The dimensions and the masses in movement, during the stride, being fundamentally different between cross-country skiing and snowshoeing, however, do not allow the use of a cross-country ski binding and corresponding boot assembly because the pivot axis is located slightly in front of the foot in cross-country skiing while it is at the level of the head of the first metatarsal in snowshoeing. It is also not possible to envisage the simple mounting of cross-country ski bindings on a pivoting plate because the locking and unlocking mechanisms of these bindings, located in front of the hooking means of the front end of the shoe, then represent a prominence which strikes the ground with each stride, during the tilting of the foot, disturbing, in an unacceptable manner, the walking of the snowshoer and thereby withdrawing any interest in this arrangement.
EXPOSE DE L'INVENTIONSTATEMENT OF THE INVENTION
La présente invention veut résoudre les inconvénients précités et propose une conception originale et nouvelle de fixations pour raquettes à neige solutionnant à la fois les problèmes de tenue de la chaussure, de contrôle en direction de la raquette, de poids et d'inconfort d'utilisation des systèmes classiques. La fixation selon l'invention est constituée d'une plaque, mobile en rotation, sur environ 280°, autour d'un axe disposé sensiblement perpendiculairement au plan de symétrie générale de la raquette, au voisinage immédiat de la face supérieure de la raquette, ladite fixation, comportant, à proximité de son extrémité avant, des moyens d'accrochage permettant d'immobiliser en translation par rapport à la plaque mobile une chaussure dont la partie avant est munie de moyens de retenue correspondants, cette fixation se caractérisant en ce que le dispositif de commande manuelle de verrouillage et de déverrouillage desdits moyens d'accrochage est situé en arrière de l'axe de rotation de la plaque mobile.The present invention seeks to solve the aforementioned drawbacks and proposes an original and new design of bindings for snowshoes solving at the same time the problems of holding the shoe, of control in direction of the racket, of weight and of discomfort of use conventional systems. The binding according to the invention consists of a plate, movable in rotation, over approximately 280 °, around an axis disposed substantially perpendicular to the plane of general symmetry of the racket, in the immediate vicinity of the upper face of the racket, said binding, comprising, near its front end, hooking means making it possible to immobilize in translation relative to the movable plate a shoe whose front part is provided with corresponding retaining means, this binding being characterized in that the manual control device for locking and unlocking said attachment means is located behind the axis of rotation of the movable plate.
Selon un mode de réalisation , les moyens d'accrochage solidarisant la partie avant de la chaussure à la plaque mobile sont tels que l'extrémité avant de cette chaussure est immobilisée en translation ainsi qu'en rotation par rapport à la plaque mobile, le degré de souplesse en flexion dans le sens longitudinal de la chaussure autorisant ou non le soulèvement plus ou moins accentué du talon par rapport à ladite plaque mobile lors de la foulée.According to one embodiment, the attachment means securing the front part of the shoe to the movable plate are such that the front end of this shoe is immobilized in translation as well as in rotation relative to the movable plate, the degree flexibility in flexion in the longitudinal direction of the shoe allowing or not the more or less accentuated lifting of the heel relative to said movable plate during the stride.
Selon une disposition avantageuse , le mécanisme commandant l'ouverture et la fermeture des moyens de solidarisation de l'extrémité avant de la chaussure à la plaque mobile est positionné dans le plan de symétrie de la raquette, en arrière de la position qu'occupe le talon de la chaussure de l'utilisateur lorsque la semelle de cette dernière est ramenée sensiblement parallèle à la face supérieure de la partie arrière de la raquette. Le mécanisme précité est alors fixé soit directement sur la plaque mobile au voisinage de son extrémité arrière, soit sur la raquette elle-même. Ce mécanisme peut cependant aussi être positionné en dehors du plan de symétrie général de la raquette, sur la partie droite ou gauche de la raquette, au voisinage de l'axe de rotation de la plaque et légèrement en arrière de ce dernier. Selon une autre possibilité de l'invention, l'extrémité avant de la plaque mobile se situe à une distance comprise entre trois centimètres et dix centimètres de l'axe de rotation de cette plaque, tandis que son extrémité arrière se situe à une distance comprise entre zéro centimètre et quarante centimètres de ce même axe de rotation.According to an advantageous arrangement, the mechanism controlling the opening and closing of the means for securing the front end of the boot to the movable plate is positioned in the plane of symmetry of the racket, behind the position occupied by the heel of the user's shoe when the sole of the latter is brought substantially parallel to the upper face of the rear part of the racket. The above mechanism is then fixed either directly on the movable plate in the vicinity of its rear end, or on the racket itself. This mechanism can however also be positioned outside the general plane of symmetry of the racket, on the right or left part of the racket, in the vicinity of the axis of rotation of the plate and slightly behind the latter. According to another possibility of the invention, the front end of the movable plate is located at a distance between three centimeters and ten centimeters from the axis of rotation of this plate, while its rear end is located at a distance between zero and forty centimeters of this same axis of rotation.
Selon une autre possibilité de l'invention, la partie supérieure de la plaque mobile, et, le cas échéant, de la raquette elle-même, en contact avec la semelle de la chaussure est (sont) munie(s) d'au moins un bossage en saillie venant épouser au moins une empeinte correspondante ménagée dans la semelle de la chaussure.According to another possibility of the invention, the upper part of the movable plate, and, where appropriate, of the racket itself, in contact with the sole of the shoe is (are) provided with at least a protruding boss coming to marry at least one corresponding imprint formed in the sole of the shoe.
Selon un mode de réalisation , le verrouillage des moyens, permettant la solidarition à la plaque mobile de la partie avant de la chaussure, peut être effectué sans intervention manuelle, l'ergot de verrouillage, incliné en forme de rampe sur sa face extérieure, étant simplement repoussé par le dispositif d'accrochage correspondant de la partie avant de la chaussure que l'utilisateur guide vers son logement d'immobilisation en lui transmettant une force de haut en bas ou d'arrière en avant, selon la direction de la gorge d'amenée à la position d'immobilisation, un ressort assurant le retour de l'ergot de verrouillage en position verrouillée aussitôt que l'avant de la chaussure est correctement positionné dans son logement de solidarisation à la plaque mobile.According to one embodiment, the locking of the means, allowing the attachment to the movable plate of the front part of the shoe, can be carried out without manual intervention, the locking lug, inclined in the form of a ramp on its outer face, being simply pushed back by the corresponding hooking device of the front part of the shoe that the user guides towards its immobilization housing by transmitting a force from top to bottom or from back to front, according to the direction of the throat d brought to the immobilization position, a spring ensuring the return of the locking lug in the locked position as soon as the front of the shoe is correctly positioned in its housing for securing to the movable plate.
Selon une autre caractéristique de l'invention, la première partie de la course d'action du mécanisme manuel de déverrouillage assure le recul partiel de l'élément de verrouillage permettant ainsi la libération de la chaussure qui peut alors être retirée de son logement de solidarisation à la plaque. Si l'utilisateur accentue son appui sur le mécanisme précité, le recul total de l'élément de verrouillage assure l'expulsion forcée, hors de son logement d'immobilisation, du dispositif d'accrochage correspondant situé en partie avant de la chaussure et donc la désolidarisation forcée de la chaussure et de la raquette à neige.According to another characteristic of the invention, the first part of the action stroke of the manual unlocking mechanism provides partial retraction of the locking element thus allowing the release of the shoe which can then be removed from its securing housing to the plate. If the user increases his support on the aforementioned mechanism, the total retraction of the locking element ensures the forced eviction, from its immobilization housing, of the corresponding attachment device located in the front part of the boot and therefore the forced separation of the boot and the snowshoe.
Selon une autre possibilité de l'invention, en plus des moyens de solidarisation précités destinés à l'accrochage, par l'avant seulement, d'une chaussure adéquate du type chaussure de ski de fond, afin de permettre également l'utilisation de la raquette avec une chaussure de marche classique la plaque mobile en rotation pourra être munie, d'une part, dans sa partie avant, d'un étrier retenant latéralement et verticalement, si besoin à l'aide de sangles, la partie avant de ce type de chaussure de marche et d'autre part d'un dispositif arrière assurant à l'aide de sangles ou à l'aide de tirant latéraux collaborant avec un levier, le blocage latéral, vertical et longitudinal de ladite chaussure par rapport à la plaque mobile sur laquelle elle repose. L'étrier avant et le dispositif arrière susmentionnés pourront constituer un ensemble monolithique avec la plaque mobile en rotation ou au contraire être réalisés à l'aide d'éléments rapportés, solidarisés à ladite plaque mobile, de façon temporaire ou définitive, par clipsage, vissage, collage ou rivetage. Dans le cas d'utilisation de chaussure de marche à large semelle, si la plaque mobile est munie, sur sa face supérieure, de bossages centraux de guidage visant à assurer le bon positionnement latéral des chaussure du type chaussures de ski de fond en collaborant avec des empreintes correspondantes ménagées dans la semelle de ces dernières, des bossage latéraux d'appui seront disposés aux emplacements requis pour assurer une bonne assise de la semelle lors de l'utilisation de chaussures de marche. Ces bossages latéraux d'appui, d'une hauteur, par rapport à la face supérieure de la plaque, au moins égale à celle des bossages centraux de guidage précités, seront situés de part et d'autre de ces derniers à une distance latérale suffisante pour ne pas perturber le fonctionnement des chaussures du type chaussures de ski de fond utilisant le principe des plots centraux de guidage pour leur positionnement latéral.According to another possibility of the invention, in addition to the aforementioned securing means intended for hooking, from the front only, an adequate boot of the cross-country ski boot type, in order also to allow the use of the snowshoeing with a classic walking shoe the movable plate in rotation can be provided, on the one hand, in its front part, with a stirrup retaining laterally and vertically, if necessary using straps, the front part of this type walking shoe and on the other hand a rear device ensuring by means of straps or by means of lateral tie collaborating with a lever, the lateral, vertical and longitudinal locking of said shoe relative to the movable plate on which it is based. The aforementioned front stirrup and rear device may constitute a monolithic unit with the movable plate in rotation or, on the contrary, be produced using attached elements, secured to said movable plate, temporarily or definitively, by clipping, screwing , bonding or riveting. In the case of using a walking shoe with a large sole, if the movable plate is provided, on its upper face, with central guide bosses intended to ensure the correct lateral positioning of the boots of the cross-country ski boot type by collaborating with corresponding footprints made in the sole of the latter, lateral support bosses will be arranged at the locations required to ensure good seating of the sole when using walking shoes. These lateral support bosses, with a height relative to the upper face of the plate, at least equal to that of the aforementioned central guide bosses, will be located on either side of the latter at a sufficient lateral distance. so as not to disturb the functioning of the shoes cross-country ski boot type using the principle of the central guide pads for their lateral positioning.
Ces bossages latéraux d'appui pourront constituer un ensemble monolithique avec la plaque mobile ou, au contraire, faire partie des dispositifs eventuellent amovibles destinés à assurer le blocage, sur la plaque mobile, des chaussures du type chaussures de marche lorsque celles-ci sont utilisées à la place des chaussures du type chaussures de ski de fond.These lateral support bosses may constitute a monolithic assembly with the movable plate or, on the contrary, be part of the removable eventuellent devices intended to ensure the blocking, on the movable plate, of shoes of the walking shoe type when these are used instead of cross-country ski boots.
Selon une autre possibilité encore de l'invention, sur chaque fixation est ménagée au moins une zone, solidaire de la plaque mobile en rotation, dont la surface est, si nécessaire, couverte, partiellement au moins, de dispositifs anti-dérapants tels, par exemple, que des reliefs en forme de stries, de picots ou au contraire des creusures, ladite zone étant d'emplacement et de dimensions appropriés pour permettre d'appliquer un appui sensiblement perpendiculaire à la plaque mobile, soit à l'aide de l'autre chaussure, soit à l'aide de la pointe d'un bâton, afin d'éviter le déplacement de la raquette et le basculement vers l'avant de la plaque mobile lors du "chaussage" de la raquette, c'est à dire pendant l'introduction et le verrouillage de l'extrémité avant de la chaussure dans son logement de solidarisation avec la plaque mobile. Cette zone, localisée en arrière de l'axe de rotation autour de laquelle tourne la plaque mobile, est située à un emplacement visible du haut lorsque la raquette est posée à plat sur le sol et donc en dehors de la surface de la plaque mobile cachée par la chaussure en position verrouillée , sa semelle étant parallèle à la raquette. Cette zone peut avantageusement être repérée par une indication visuelle.According to yet another possibility of the invention, on each attachment is provided at least one zone, integral with the movable plate in rotation, the surface of which is, if necessary, covered, at least partially, with non-slip devices such as example, that reliefs in the form of ridges, spikes or, on the contrary, hollows, said zone being of suitable location and dimensions to allow applying a support substantially perpendicular to the movable plate, either using the another shoe, either using the tip of a stick, in order to avoid the racket moving and the movable plate tilting forward when the racket is "put on", that is to say during the introduction and locking of the front end of the shoe in its housing for securing with the movable plate. This zone, located behind the axis of rotation around which the movable plate rotates, is located in a visible location from the top when the racket is placed flat on the ground and therefore outside the surface of the hidden movable plate. by the shoe in the locked position, its sole being parallel to the racket. This area can advantageously be identified by a visual indication.
Enfin la face supérieure, au moins, de la plaque mobile peut ne pas être droite dans le sens longitudinal mais au contraire être concave, de concavité dirigée vers le haut. DESCRIPTION SOMMAIRE DES DESSINSFinally, the upper face, at least, of the movable plate may not be straight in the longitudinal direction but on the contrary be concave, of concavity directed upwards.

DESCRIPTION DES MODES DE REALISATION PREFERESDESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
La fixation de raquette à neige selon l'invention, portant la référence générale (1) , comporte une plaque (2) , pouvant pivoter autour d'un axe (3) relié par ses extrémités à la raquette à neige proprement dite (4). L'extrémité avant de la plaque (2), remontant vers le haut, de façon quasiment verticale en forme de butée (15), et descendant obliquement vers le bas en forme de bêche (23) terminée par des dents inférieures, contient également les moyens d'accrochage constitués d'un élément coulissant longitudinalement (20) colaborant avec deux echancrures (10) aménagées dans les deux flancs verticaux retombants du capot (23) en forme de l_l renversé coiffant la cavité dans laquelle se déplace l'élément coulissant (20). Le dispositif, permettant de commander manuellement le déplacement vers l'arrière de l'élément coulissant (20), est situé en arrière du talon de la chaussure (5) sur la plaque (2). Il comprend un boitier (17) traversé par un axe (18) autour duquel peut tourner un levier (16) relié par l'intermédiaire d'un tirant (19), constitué d'un cable ou d'une tringle métallique, à l'élément coulissant (20). La chaussure (5) possède, quant à elle, à son extrémité avant, un axe transversal (6) dont les deux extrémités sont noyées dans la semelle (7) dans laquelle est ménagée une rainure longitudinale (8) venant épouser un bossage (9) de forme correspondante solidaire de la plaque (2). Le verrouillage de la chaussure (5) sur la plaque (2) s'effectue en engageant l'axe (6) dans les echancrures (10). En exerçant une force de haut en bas avec l'extrémité avant de la chaussure, l'axe (6) glisse sur la rampe supérieure inclinée (22) de l'ergot d'accrochage (11) en repoussant vers l'arrière l'élément coulissant (20) qui recule en comprimant le ressort (12). Lorsque l'axe (6) est parvenu au fond des échancrure (10), l'ergot de verrouillage (11) revient à sa position initiale sous la poussée du ressort (12) et il assure alors l'immobilisation en translation horizontale et verticale de la chaussure (5) par rapport à la plaque (2), la partie frontale (13), sensiblement verticale, de la semelle (7) maintenue en contact étroit avec la face verticale (14) de la butée (15) située à l'extrémité avant de la plaque (2) interdisant par ailleurs toute rotation de la chaussure (5), par rapport à la plaque (2), autour de l'axe (6). Ainsi, lors de la foulée, la plaque (2) pivote autour de son axe (3) et seule la partie arrière de la chaussure (5) peut s'écarter dans le plan vertical de la plaque (2), la partie avant de la semelle de la chaussure (5) restant en contact avec la plaqueThe snowshoe binding according to the invention, bearing the general reference (1), comprises a plate (2), which can pivot around an axis (3) connected at its ends to the snowshoe itself (4) . The front end of the plate (2), rising upwards, almost vertically in the form of a stop (15), and descending obliquely downwards in the form of a spade (23) terminated by lower teeth, also contains the attachment means consisting of a longitudinally sliding element (20) collaborating with two notches (10) arranged in the two vertical falling sides of the cover (23) in the shape of an inverted l_l covering the cavity in which the sliding element moves ( 20). The device, allowing manual control of the rearward movement of the sliding element (20), is located behind the heel of the shoe (5) on the plate (2). It comprises a housing (17) crossed by an axis (18) around which a lever (16) can turn connected by means of a tie rod (19), consisting of a cable or a metal rod, to the 'sliding element (20). The shoe (5) has, for its part, at its front end, a transverse axis (6), the two ends of which are embedded in the sole (7) in which is formed a longitudinal groove (8) coming to marry a boss (9 ) of corresponding shape integral with the plate (2). The shoe (5) is locked on the plate (2) by engaging the pin (6) in the notches (10). By exerting a force from top to bottom with the front end of the shoe, the axis (6) slides on the inclined upper ramp (22) of the hooking lug (11) by pushing back the sliding element (20) which recedes by compressing the spring (12). When the axis (6) has reached the bottom of the notches (10), the locking pin (11) returns to its initial position under the thrust of the spring (12) and it then ensures immobilization in horizontal and vertical translation of the shoe (5) relative to the plate (2), the substantially vertical front part (13) of the sole (7) maintained in close contact with the vertical face (14) of the stop (15) located at the front end of the plate (2) moreover preventing any rotation of the boot (5), relative to the plate (2), around the axis (6). Thus, during the stride, the plate (2) pivots about its axis (3) and only the rear part of the shoe (5) can deviate in the vertical plane of the plate (2), the front part of the sole of the shoe (5) remaining in contact with the plate
(2).(2).
Pour désolidariser la chaussure (5) de la plaque (2) il suffit d'appliquer une force de direction sensiblement verticale sur l'extrémité du levier (16), la rotation du levier (16) autour de son axe (18) se traduit alors par une traction sur le tirant (19), qui à son tour entraine vers l'arrière, contre l'action du ressort (12), l'élément coulissant (20). Dès que le recul de l'élément coulissant (20) est suffisant pour que l'ergot d'accrochage (11) ait dégagé les echancrures (10), l'axe (6) de la chaussure (5) peut quitter sa position verrouillée et l'utilisateur peut ainsi désolidariser sa chaussure (5) de la plaque (2). Si la force appliquée sur le levier (16) est suffisante pour comprimer davantage le ressort (12), le recul complet de l'élément coulissant (20) amène la rampe (21) en contact avec l'axe (6) et lui transmet une poussée dirigée vers le haut obligeant l'axe (6) à sortir des echancrures latérales (10) et assurant ainsi la séparation forcée de la chaussure (5) et de la plaque (2).To separate the shoe (5) from the plate (2), it suffices to apply a substantially vertical steering force to the end of the lever (16), the rotation of the lever (16) around its axis (18) then results in a pull on the tie rod (19), which in turn drives backwards, against the action of the spring (12), the sliding element (20). As soon as the retraction of the sliding element (20) is sufficient for the latching lug (11) to have released the notches (10), the axis (6) of the shoe (5) can leave its locked position and the user can thus separate his shoe (5) from the plate (2). If the force applied to the lever (16) is sufficient to compress the spring (12) further, the complete retraction of the sliding element (20) brings the ramp (21) into contact with the axis (6) and transmits to it a thrust directed upwards forcing the axis (6) out of the lateral notches (10) and thus ensuring the forced separation of the shoe (5) and the plate (2).
Notons encore que la plaque (2) munie du bossage central (9) peut posséder des plots latéraux d'appui (24) et (25) prolongés, le cas échéant, vers le haut par des ailes (26) et (27) disposées sensiblement verticalement, pour permettre l'immobilisation, par rapport à la plaque (2), des chaussures de marche (28), grâce à un étrier avant (30) et à un étrier arrière (31) mis sous tension par un levier (29).Note also that the plate (2) provided with the central boss (9) may have lateral support pads (24) and (25) extended, if necessary, upwards by wings (26) and (27) arranged substantially vertically, to allow immobilization, with respect to the plate (2), of the walking shoes (28), by virtue of a front stirrup (30) and a rear stirrup (31) tensioned by a lever (29 ).
Selon une disposition avantageuse, le dispositif de commande manuelle de verrouillage et de déverrouillage du mécanisme d'accrochage de la chaussure (5) est disposé sur la plaque mobile (2) au voisinage de son extrémité arrière. En alternative, le dispositif de commande manuelle de verrouillage et de déverrouillage du mécanisme d'accrochage de la chaussure (5) est disposé sur la face supérieure de la raquette (4) . De préférence, la fixation (1) comporte au moins une zone d'appui, solidaire de la plaque mobile (2) et située en arrière de l'axe (3), qui est munie d'une creusure pour positionner l'extrémité d'un bâton qui reste visible lorsque la chaussure est en position horizontale verrouillée sur la plaque mobile (2) .According to an advantageous arrangement, the manual control device for locking and unlocking the shoe hooking mechanism (5) is disposed on the movable plate (2) in the vicinity of its rear end. Alternatively, the manual control device for locking and unlocking the shoe hooking mechanism (5) is arranged on the upper face of the racket (4). Preferably, the binding (1) comprises at least one bearing zone, integral with the movable plate (2) and situated behind the axis (3), which is provided with a recess to position the end d 'a stick which remains visible when the shoe is in the horizontal position locked on the movable plate (2).
Bien entendu, l'invention n'est pas limitée aux modes de réalisation décrits et représentés à titres d'exemples, mais elle comprend aussi tous les équivalents techniques ainsi que leurs combinaisons. Of course, the invention is not limited to the embodiments described and represented by way of examples, but it also includes all the technical equivalents as well as their combinations.
