Abstract

The cross-country skiing assembly comprises a ski shoe and a ski binding for fixing the shoe on a ski. A toe block at the front end of the shoe has a fastening contour which is capable of cooperating with a complementary fastener on a shoe-retaining stirrup of the ski binding. A spring-loaded locking and releasing lever of the ski binding permits automatic positioning of the ski shoe by downward engagement. The shoe-retaining stirrup is pivotally mounted on a cross-pin which is adjacent to the front end face of the toe block.

Description

La présent invention a pour objet un ensemble pour ski de fond qui comprend une chaussure et un dispositif de fixation, de la partie avant de celle-ci sur un ski.The present invention relates to a set for cross-country skiing which comprises a boot and a device for fixing the front part thereof on a ski.

Dans les deux premiers modes de réalisation d'un ensemble de ski de fond décrit dans le brevet FR 824 863 (fig. 1 à 3 et fig. 4), la partie avant de la semelle est pourvue d'un élément rapporté comprenant deux pièces cylindriques disposées calement. Le dispositif de fixation comprend une planche fixée sur le ski et pourvue de deux tubes verticaux pret à recevoir les pièces cylindriques portées par la chaussure, par emboîtement de haut en bas. Après mise en place de la chaussure dans la fixation un petit ressort, qui coopère avec un trou ménagé dans l'élément rapporté de la chaussure, empêche le désemboîtement de cette dernière, de bas en haut.In the first two embodiments of a cross-country ski assembly described in patent FR 824 863 (fig. 1 to 3 and fig. 4), the front part of the sole is provided with an attached element comprising two parts cylindrically arranged. The binding device comprises a board fixed to the ski and provided with two vertical tubes ready to receive the cylindrical parts carried by the shoe, by interlocking from top to bottom. After fitting the shoe into the binding, a small spring, which cooperates with a hole in the insert of the shoe, prevents the latter from disengaging from the bottom up.

Ce type d'ensemble pour ski de fond est très intéressant en raison du mode de mise en place, par un mouvement naturel et commodee, de haut en bas, de la chaussure dans la fixation. Malheureusement cette commodité de chaussage n'est pas de complète du fait qu'il est nécessaire, manuellement,/maintenir écarté le petit ressort de verrouillage au cours de cette opération et de le relâcher après chaussage. D'autre part, durant la marche à skis, le soulèvement du talon est limité en raison de la rigidité de la liaison par emboîtement de l'avant de la chaussure dans la fixation. En cours d'utilisation cette liaison est soumise à des efforts relativement élevés, ce qui nécessite l'emploi de matériaux résistants (métal) et donc lourds et coûteux. Pour ces raisons, l'ensemble de ski de fond qui vient d'être décrit est mal adapté à l'époque actuelle, le skieur de fond moderne désirant un ensemble bon marché, léger, commode d'utilisation et performant, avec une grande amplitude de soulèvement du talon.This type of set for cross-country skiing is very interesting because of the mode of fitting, by a natural and convenient movement, from top to bottom, of the boot in the binding. Unfortunately, this convenience of fitting is not complete since it is necessary, manually, to keep the small locking spring apart during this operation and to release it after fitting. On the other hand, during ski walking, the heel lift is limited due to the rigidity of the connection by fitting the front of the boot into the binding. In use this connection is subjected to relatively high forces, which requires the use of resistant materials (metal) and therefore heavy and expensive. For these reasons, the cross-country ski assembly which has just been described is ill-suited to the present time, the modern cross-country skier desiring an inexpensive, light, convenient to use and efficient unit, with a large amplitude. heel lift.

On connait également, par le brevet US 4 191 396, un ensemble pour ski de fond dans lequel la partie avant de la semelle présente un prolongement important venant se loger dans un boîtier de forme complémentaire articulé sur le ski. Cette articulation permet un soulèvement correct du talon durant la marche à skis. Toutefois la position de l'axe d'articulation, en avant du prolongement de semelle et, par conséquent bien en avant de la pointe du pied ne permet pas une marche naturelle et efficace du skieur. En effet, des essais pratiques montrent que l'emplacement idéal de l'axe de pivotement de la chaussure sur le ski de fond se trouve juste à la pointe du pied. Par ailleurs, la mise en place de la chaussure dans la fixation est réalisée d'arrière en avant, ce qui est peu commode car le ski risque d'avancer durant cette opération. Enfin, il convient de noter que la présence d'un prolongement de semelle est inesthétique et constitue une gêne pour le skieur lorsqu'il n'est pas sur ses skis, notamment pour la marche et la conduite automobile.We also know, from US Patent 4,191,396, an assembly for cross-country skiing in which the front part of the sole has a significant extension which is received in a housing of complementary shape articulated on the ski. This joint allows correct heel lifting during ski walking. However, the position of the articulation axis, in front of the sole extension and therefore well in front of the toe does not allow natural and efficient walking by the skier. Indeed, practical tests show that the ideal location of the pivot axis of the boot on the cross-country ski is just at the tip of the foot. Furthermore, the installation of the boot in the binding is carried out from back to front, which is inconvenient since the ski risks advancing during this operation. Finally, it should be noted that the presence of a sole extension is unsightly and constitutes a discomfort for the skier when he is not on his skis, in particular for walking and driving.

Pour être complet, on citera également dans l'état de la technique les brevets CH 201 026, FR 2 200 026 et US 4 165 888, qui concernent des fixations de ski de fond dont l'étrier de retenue de la chaussure est articulé sur le ski en une zone-voisine de la pointe du pied. Aucun de ces documents ne prévoit une mise en place automatique de haut en bas de la chaussure dans la fixation.For completeness, the state of the art also includes the patents CH 201 026, FR 2 200 026 and US 4 165 888, which relate to cross-country ski bindings, the shoe retaining stirrup of which is articulated on skiing in an area close to tiptoe. None of these documents provides for automatic fitting from top to bottom of the shoe in the binding.

L'invention se propose de réaliser un ensemble pourski de fond dans lequel, comme dans le brevet FR 824 863 précité, la mise en place de la chaussure dans la fixation est réalisée par emboîtement de haut en bas, cette mise en place se faisant tout-à-fait automatiquement, c'est-à-dire sans intervention manuelle du skieur, tandis qu'une fois la chaussure en place dans la fixation, celle-ci peut pivoter sur le ski en une zone voisine du bout du pied, avec une amplitude élevée.The invention proposes to produce a cross-country ski assembly in which, as in the aforementioned patent FR 824 863, the fitting of the boot in the binding is carried out by fitting from top to bottom, this fitting being done while -to be done automatically, that is to say without manual intervention of the skier, while once the boot in place in the binding, the latter can pivot on the ski in a zone close to the end of the foot, with a high amplitude.

A cet effet, l'ensemble pour ski de fond objet de la présente, invention, dans lequel la partie antérieure de la chaussure présente en vue de dessus un contour d'accrochage mâle ou femelle, tandis que le dispositif de fixation comporte un étrier de retenue de forme complémentaire, est caractérisé par le fait que l'étrier de retenue est articulé sur le ski autour d'un axe transverval disposé juste à l'avant de la pointe de la chaussure et qu'il est prévu un organe de verrouillage sollicité par un organe élastique et agencé pour coopérer avec la partie avant de la chaussure de manière à autoriser sa mise en place automatique par emboîtement de haut en bas dans l'étrier de retenue et à en

Pour repousser l'organe de verrouillage au cours du chaussage de la fixation, il est possible de prévoir une face inclinée à l'avant de la chaussure, tandis qu'à la fin du chaussage une encoche ménagée au-dessus de la face inclinée sert à l'encliquetage d'un bec porté par l'organe de verrouillage.To push back the locking member during the fitting of the binding, it is possible to provide an inclined face at the front of the shoe, while at the end of the fitting a notch formed above the inclined face serves when a spout is carried by the locking member.

Avantageusement, le contour d'accrochage de la partie antérieure de la chaussure comprend une paire de rainures latérales s'étendant verticalement, dans lesquelles pénètrent des saillies complémentaires de l'étrier de retenue.Advantageously, the attachment contour of the front part of the shoe comprises a pair of lateral grooves extending vertically, into which penetrate complementary projections of the retaining stirrup.

Le dispositif de fixation comporte de préférence un élément élastiquement déformable, agencé pour opposer une résistance progressivement croissante au mouvement de pivotement de l'étrier de retenue. Cet élément est de préférence amovible.The fixing device preferably comprises an elastically deformable element, arranged to oppose a progressively increasing resistance to the pivoting movement of the retaining stirrup. This element is preferably removable.

Pour simplicité de construction on peut donner à l'organe de verrouillage la forme d'un levier, articulé sur le même axe que l'étrier de.retenue. Dans ce cas l'étrier de retenue et l'organe de verrouillage tournent en bloc durant la marche à skis ; il est alors possible de faire agir l'élément déformable élastiquement contre l'organe de verrouillage, pour s'opposer au pivotement de l'ensemble.For simplicity of construction, the locking member can be given the form of a lever, articulated on the same axis as the stirrup de.retenue. In this case, the retaining stirrup and the locking member rotate as a unit during ski touring; it is then possible to make the deformable element act elastically against the locking member, to oppose the pivoting of the assembly.

L'organe de verrouillage est avantageusement pourvu d'un évidement accessible par la pointe d'un bâton de ski en vue de faciliter le déchaussage de la fixation.The locking member is advantageously provided with a recess accessible by the tip of a ski pole in order to facilitate the release of the binding.

Pour bien immobiliser la chaussure en direction latérale dans l'étrier de retenue, il est possible de prévoir sur celui-ci une paire de nervures longitudinales adaptées pour coopérer avec des flancs latéraux formés dans la semelle de la chaussure.To properly immobilize the shoe in the lateral direction in the retaining stirrup, it is possible to provide thereon a pair of longitudinal ribs adapted to cooperate with lateral sides formed in the sole of the shoe.

Le dispositif de fixation de ski, appelé plus simplement "fixation", représenté aux figures 1 et 2, comprend une plaque de base 1 fixée sur un ski S au moyen de trois vis 2. Il comprend aussi un étrier de retenue 3 qui est constitué d'une plaque horizontale 4 délimitée par des rebords latéraux 5, 6, s'étendant verticalement le long des chants du ski. Les rebords avant 6 (dirigés vers la gauche des figures) sont plus hauts que les rebords arrière 5. La partie arrière des rebords 6 qui surplombe les rebords 5 est repliée à angle droit vers l'intérieur du ski pour former des saillies verticales et transversales 7.The ski binding device, more simply called "binding", represented in FIGS. 1 and 2, comprises a base plate 1 fixed on a ski S by means of three screws 2. It also comprises a retaining bracket 3 which is constituted a horizontal plate 4 delimited by lateral edges 5, 6, extending vertically along the edges of the ski. The front edges 6 (directed to the left of the figures) are higher than the rear edges 5. The rear part of the edges 6 which overhangs the edges 5 is folded at right angles towards the inside of the ski to form vertical and transverse projections 7.

La plaque de base 1 est pourvue d'une paire de joues latérales 8, s'étendant verticalement, que les rebords 6 de l'étrier 3 embrassent à la manière d'une chape. Une tige transversale 9 traverse les joues 8 et les rebords 6 de l'étrier 3 pour servir d'axe de pivotement à ce dernier. Entre les joues 8 est monté un organe de verrouillage 10 en forme de levier qui est également articulé sur l'axe 9. On notera que l'axe 9 est situé à faible distance au-dessus du ski S. Dans le dessus du levier 10 est creusée une cuvette 11 ouverte vers le haut et vers l'arrière du ski tandis que la partie arrière du levier 10 porte une proéminence, ou bec 12.The base plate 1 is provided with a pair of side cheeks 8, extending vertically, which the edges 6 of the stirrup 3 embrace in the manner of a yoke. A transverse rod 9 crosses the cheeks 8 and the edges 6 of the stirrup 3 to serve as a pivot axis for the latter. Between the cheeks 8 is mounted a locking member 10 in the form of a lever which is also articulated on the axis 9. It will be noted that the axis 9 is located a short distance above the ski S. In the top of the lever 10 is hollowed out a bowl 11 open towards the top and towards the rear of the ski while the rear part of the lever 10 carries a prominence, or spout 12.

Autour de l'axe 9 est disposé un ressort de torsion 13 dont l'une des branches d'extrémité prend appui contre la plaque 1 et l'autre contre le levier 10. Ce ressort sollicite le levier 10 pour le faire pivoter autour de l'axe 9, dans le sens des aiguilles d'une montre. Ce pivotement est limité du fait que la partie 14 du levier 10 qui est située sous le bec 12vient en butée contre la plaque 4 de l'étrier 3, laquelle est elle-même en appui contre le ski. Le ressort 13 est situé à l'intérieur d'une cavité 15 qui est isolée du milieu extérieur (neige, glace, boue ...) au moyen de deux languettes d'étanchéité superposées 16, 17 formées respectivement sur la plaque de base 1 et sur le levier de verrouillage 10. Dans les parois des joues 8, vers l'intérieur du ski, sont creusées des rainures 18 formant glissières, disposées légèrement en oblique par rapport à la verticale. Un élément 19 en matériau élastiquement déformable tel qu'un caoutchouc synthétique est enfiché dans les glissières 18 de manière à occuper l'espace compris entre les joues 8. A sa partie inférieure, l'élément 19 porte une patte élastique 20 qui pénètre dans un trou de la plaque de base 1 pour en assurer la retenue.Around the axis 9 is disposed a torsion spring 13, one of the end branches of which bears against the plate 1 and the other against the lever 10. This spring biases the lever 10 to rotate it around the 'axis 9, clockwise. This pivoting is limited because the part 14 of the lever 10 which is located under the spout 12 comes into abutment against the plate 4 of the stirrup 3, which is itself in abutment against skiing. The spring 13 is located inside a cavity 15 which is isolated from the outside environment (snow, ice, mud ...) by means of two superimposed sealing tongues 16, 17 formed respectively on the base plate 1 and on the locking lever 10. In the walls of the cheeks 8, towards the inside of the ski, grooves 18 are formed forming slides, arranged slightly obliquely relative to the vertical. An element 19 of elastically deformable material such as synthetic rubber is inserted in the slides 18 so as to occupy the space between the cheeks 8. At its lower part, the element 19 carries an elastic tab 20 which penetrates into a hole in base plate 1 to retain it.

Le dessous de la partie arrière de l'élément élastique 19 est évidé, si bien que cette partie affecte la forme d'une languette 21 qui s'étend au-dessus du ski, en direction du levier de verrouillage 10. Les bords latéraux 21a de la languette 21 sont légèrement plus longs que sa partie centrale 21b.The underside of the rear part of the elastic element 19 is hollowed out, so that this part takes the form of a tongue 21 which extends above the ski, in the direction of the locking lever 10. The lateral edges 21a of the tongue 21 are slightly longer than its central part 21b.

La chaussure de ski de fond destinée à coopérer avec la fixation qui vient d'être décrite est représentée aux figures 3 et 4. Cette chaussure C comporte une partie antérieure 22 formant partie intégrante de la semelle 23 et débordant légèrement à l'avant de l'empeigne 24. La partie antérieure 22, qui a une hauteur nettement supérieure à celle de la semelle 23, est creusée de deux fentes latérales 25 constituant un contour d'accrochage destiné à coopérer avec les saillies 7 de la fixation, comme il sera expliqué plus loin. La partie 22 présente une face frontale 26 légèrement en pente vers l'arrière lorsqu'on se dirige de haut en bas. Sur le dessus de la partie 22 est creusée une encoche centrale 27.The cross-country ski boot intended to cooperate with the binding which has just been described is shown in FIGS. 3 and 4. This boot C has a front part 22 forming an integral part of the sole 23 and projecting slightly at the front of the vamp 24. The front part 22, which has a height significantly greater than that of the sole 23, is hollowed out by two lateral slots 25 constituting a hooking contour intended to cooperate with the projections 7 of the binding, as will be explained further. Part 22 has a front face 26 slightly sloping backwards when moving from top to bottom. On the top of the part 22 is hollowed out a central notch 27.

L'ensemble fonctionne comme suit.The assembly works as follows.

Pour mettre en place sa chaussure dans la fixation, le skieur présente la partie antérieure 22 de sa chaussure au-dessus de l'étrier 3 de sorte que les fentes 25 soient en regard des saillies 7 de l'étrier. Il presse la pointe du pied vers le bas, les fentes 25 s'engageant sur les saillies 7 tandis que la face frontale inclinée 26, qui agit à la manière d'une rampe, repousse le levier de verrouillage 10 vers l'avant, à l'encontre du ressort 13. Lorsque le dessous 28 de la partie avant de la semelle, qui est légèrement renfoncée pour compenser l'épaisseur de la plaque 4 de l'étrier 3, vient en contact avec cette dernière, le bec de verrouillage 12 vient s'encliqueter automatiquement dans l'encoche 27, sous la poussée du ressort 13.To put his shoe in place in the binding, the skier presents the front part 22 of his shoe above the stirrup 3 so that the slots 25 are opposite the projections 7 of the stirrup. He presses the tip of the foot down, the slots 25 engaging on the projections 7 while the inclined front face 26, which acts like a ramp, pushes the locking lever 10 forward, against the spring 13. When the underside 28 of the front part of the sole, which is slightly recessed to compensate for the thickness of the plate 4 of the stirrup 3, comes into contact with the latter, the locking spout 12 automatically snaps into the notch 27, under the thrust of the spring 13.

Cette opération est représentée aux figures 5 et 6.This operation is shown in Figures 5 and 6.

Pendant la marche à skis, représentée à la figure 7, le soulèvement du talon du skieur provoque le pivotement de l'étrier de retenue 3 et de l'organe de verrouillage 10 aurtour de l'axe 9, dans le sens contraire à celui des aiguilles d'une montre. Durant cette phase le ressort 13 est d'abord sollicité. Ensuite la paroi avant du levier 10 rencontre les bords 21a de la languette 21, provoquant leur déformation relativement aisée, puis la languette 21 elle-même, provoquant sa flexion progressive. La résistance élastique s'opposant au soulèvement du talon est donc de plus en plus forte ; l'amplitude de soulèvement du talon est limitée à un angle d'environ 90 degrés, angle pour lequel la languette 21 est fléchie et comprimée au maximum. A la fin du pas, la languette 21 se détend, aidant le talon de la chaussure à redescendre sur le ski.During the ski tour, represented in FIG. 7, the lifting of the heel of the skier causes the pivoting of the retaining stirrup 3 and of the locking member 10 around the axis 9, in the opposite direction to that of the Clockwise. During this phase the spring 13 is first stressed. Then the front wall of the lever 10 meets the edges 21a of the tongue 21, causing their relatively easy deformation, then the tongue 21 itself, causing its progressive bending. The elastic resistance opposing the lifting of the heel is therefore increasingly strong; the amplitude of lifting the heel is limited to an angle of approximately 90 degrees, angle for which the tongue 21 is bent and compressed to the maximum. At the end of the step, the tongue 21 relaxes, helping the heel of the boot to descend onto the ski.

On remarquera que la partie avant de la semelle présente des flancs verticaux 29 qui, en position chaussée, sont encastrés entre les rebords 5 de l'étrier 3. Grâce à cette disposition la chaussure est parfaitement maintenue en direction latérale dans l'étrier 3 et le guidage du ski est excellent.It will be noted that the front part of the sole has vertical sides 29 which, in the road position, are embedded between the edges 5 of the stirrup 3. Thanks to this arrangement, the shoe is perfectly maintained in the lateral direction in the stirrup 3 and ski guidance is excellent.

Pour procéder au déchaussage de la fixation il suffit de repousser le levier de déchaussage 10 vers l'avant, soit à la main, soit par pression de la pointe du bâton dans la cuvette 11, et d'extraire la partie antérieure de la chaussure de l'étrier 3 en soulevant la pointe de la chaussure, le talon étant en appui sur le ski.To take off the binding, simply push the release lever 10 forward, either by hand or by pressing the tip of the stick into the bowl 11, and extract the front part of the shoe. the stirrup 3 by lifting the tip of the boot, the heel resting on the ski.

Cet ensemble de fond est à la fois simple et performant. La position de l'axe de pivotement 9, juse à la pointe de la chaussure et très bas sur le ski est idéale. Le débord avant de la partie antérieure 22 est de faible longueur et ne gêne nullement le skieur dans ses activités autres que le ski.This background set is both simple and efficient. The position of the pivot axis 9, up to the tip of the boot and very low on the ski is ideal. The front overhang of the front part 22 is of short length and does not in any way hamper the skier in his activities other than skiing.

L'élément élastique 19 étant amovible, par déclip- sage dans la plaque de base 1, il est possible de le remplacer par un autre élément de dureté différente afin de l'adapter au style du skieur et/ou au tracé du parcours.The elastic element 19 being removable, by unclipping it in the base plate 1, it is possible to replace it with another element of different hardness in order to adapt it to the style of the skier and / or to the course layout.

Les figures 8 à 10 représentent une autre forme de réalisation du présent dispositif de fixation. Dans celle-ci il est prévu un organe élastique 19a qui assume, à lui seul, les fonctions dévolues précédemment à l'élément élastique 19 et au ressort 13, et qui, à la marche travaille à la compression et non pas à la flexion.Figures 8 to 10 show another embodiment of the present fixing device. In it there is provided an elastic member 19a which alone assumes the functions previously assigned to the elastic element 19 and the spring 13, and which, when walking, works on compression and not on bending.

Cependant la conception générale du dispositif de fixation reste la même que précédemment, de sorte que les différents éléments constitutifs de ce dispositif sont désignés par les mêmes chiffres de référence affectés de l'indice "a".However, the general design of the fixing device remains the same as previously, so that the various constituent elements of this device are designated by the same reference numbers assigned to the index "a".

L'organe élastique unique 19a prévu dans cette forme de réalisation est constitué par un tampon en matière élastique, par exemple en polyuréthane cellulaire. Ce tampon est disposé au-dessus de la plaque de base 1a du dispositif correspondant et son-extrémité avant 30 est engagée à l'intérieur d'un embout de retenue 3, faisant corps avec cette plaque de base. Cet organe élastique tend à repousser le levier de verrouillage 10a en position de retenue de la chaussure C, ce qui rend superflue la présence d'un ressort additionnel, tel que le ressort 13 prévu dans la précédente forme de réalisation.The single elastic member 19a provided in this embodiment consists of a pad made of elastic material, for example cellular polyurethane. This buffer is disposed above the base plate 1a of the corresponding device and its front end 30 is engaged inside a retaining end piece 3, integral with this base plate. This elastic member tends to push the locking lever 10a back into the retention of the shoe C, which makes the presence of an additional spring superfluous, such as the spring 13 provided in the previous embodiment.

Cependant cet organe élastique a également pour fonction d'assurer le rôle dévolu à l'élément élastique 19 existant dans cette précédente forme de réalisation. Durant la marche à skis, le soulèvement du talon de la chaussure provoque le pivotement de l'étrier de retenue 3a et de l'organe de verrouillage 10a autour de l'axe 9a, dans le sens contraire à celui des aiguilles d'une montre. L'étrier 3a et l'organe de verrouillage 10a font ainsi pression sur le tampon élastique 19a qui se trouve comprimé. La résistance élastique s'opposant au soulèvement du talon est donc de plus en plus forte. A la fin du pas, le tampon élastique 19a se détend, aidant le talon de la chaussure à redescendre sur le ski.However, this elastic member also has the function of ensuring the role assigned to the elastic element 19 existing in this previous embodiment. During ski touring, the lifting of the heel of the boot causes the retaining stirrup 3a and the locking member 10a to pivot about the axis 9a, counterclockwise. . The stirrup 3a and the locking member 10a thus press on the elastic pad 19a which is compressed. The elastic resistance opposing the lifting of the heel is therefore increasingly strong. At the end of the step, the elastic buffer 19a relaxes, helping the heel of the boot to descend onto the ski.

Comme dans la forme de réalisation précédente, le déchaussage de la fixation est réalisé en repoussant le levier 10a vers l'avant, soit à la main, soit par pression de la pointe d'un bâton dans la cuvette 11a de ce levier. Cette manoeuvre est évidemment effectuée à l'encontre de la pression exercée par l'organe élastique unique 19a prévu dans cette forme de réalisation.As in the previous embodiment, the release of the binding is achieved by pushing the lever 10a forward, either by hand or by pressing the tip of a stick in the bowl 11a of this lever. This maneuver is obviously carried out against the pressure exerted by the single elastic member 19a provided in this embodiment.

Le dispositif de fixation correspondant présente donc les mêmes caractéristiques et avantages de fonctionnement que celui représenté aux figures 1 à 7.The corresponding fixing device therefore has the same operating characteristics and advantages as that shown in FIGS. 1 to 7.
