Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for retaining a boot on a sliding board, especially on a snowboard.
  • the invention also relates to a shoe for the practice of sliding, in particular the snowboarding, as well as a retainer.
  • Snowboarding is a sliding sport that is practiced by means of a board in the shape of plate, the front end of which is raised to form the spatula. Some boards also have the rear end raised.
  • the skier is connected to the board via two elements restraint that hold each of his shoes.
  • the retainers are generally offset along the median longitudinal axis of the plate and they form with this axis an angle of 5 to 90 degrees on either side of this axis. This angle as well as the distance - between the two retaining elements can be adjustable.
  • the retaining elements generally include a plate on which the sole of shoe is in support. At each end of the plate, the shoe is retained by a stirrup which takes hold of the front or rear toe of the shoe.
  • Such a device is for example known from the French patent application published under number 2 669 237.
  • Another device of this type is known from the published European patent application under number 396 133.
  • This device further comprises an intermediate plate which is connected to the gliding board by a trigger type link.
  • the shoe is however retained on the plate by traditional stirrups.
  • the device includes a seat hollowed out in the ski which is designed to releasably trigger an interface 2, itself fixedly attached to the shoe.
  • the interface is retained in the seat by retaining cavities located at the front and rear of the seat which cooperate with the front and rear ends of the interface and by a central positioning member which also acts as a vertical pivot between the seat and interface.
  • Triggering is carried out either by pivoting the seat around the positioning or retracting a lock calibrated by a spring, which is located at the rear of the interface.
  • the currently known retaining elements have the drawback of being bulky, either in the direction of the length of the shoe or in the direction of the height.
  • the currently known retaining elements occupy a large area of the board, and thereby disturb its flexion and / or torsion during the glide.
  • One of the aims of the invention is to propose a device for retaining a shoe on a gliding board which has a reduced bulk.
  • Another object of the invention is to propose a retaining device towards the board which ensures good transmission of the forces produced by the surfer during the glide.
  • Another object of the invention is to propose a retaining device whose construction is particularly simple.
  • Another object of the invention is to propose a retaining device which can be adapted without special adjustment to shoes of different length and volume.
  • the retaining device, the shoe and the retaining element according to the invention are defined in the claims independent 1, 17 and 19 respectively.
  • Dependent claims 2 to 16 and 18 give forms of particular achievements.
  • FIG 1 there is shown schematically seen from above a surfboard of snow 1.
  • the board is in the form of an elongated plate in a direction longitudinal median 2.
  • the lateral edges of the board are most often curved following what is commonly called dimension lines.
  • the front end 3 of the board is raised to form the spatula.
  • the rear end can also be raised, depending on the nature of the gliding discipline practiced.
  • the surfer is connected to board 1 by means of his two shoes which are retained on the upper surface of the board by retaining devices.
  • the surfer's shoes are retained next to each other in the longitudinal direction median 2, in the central area of the board, at a distance of approximately 45 centimeters from each other.
  • Both shoes are oriented respectively in directions 6 and 7 which are oriented obliquely to direction 2.
  • the angles of orientation vary depending on the case between 90 and 5 degrees on one side or on the other of the longitudinal direction depending on whether the surfer is "goofy" or "regular” in nature. In general, these angles are adjustable.
  • the shoe spacing can also be adjustable.
  • the width of the board in the central area is close to the length of the shoe or less than this length.
  • each shoe is retained on the board by a retaining device.
  • the retainer includes an element associated with the shoe and an element associated with the board.
  • One of the elements has a rib-forming means, the other element has a means forming a groove.
  • the rib and the groove have, in section, complementary forms to fit into each other. Preferably, these shapes provide an automatic backlash.
  • the device further comprises a locking means to keep the rib fitted into the groove.
  • FIG. 2 schematically illustrates a first implementation of the invention. This figure shows in perspective a retaining element 10 associated with the board and an element retainer 11 associated with the shoe sole.
  • the retaining element 10 is in the form of a rib 12 oriented along the longitudinal direction defined by the sole of the shoe, with in its lower part a base 13 intended for securing the element to the board.
  • the retaining element 11 has a longitudinal groove 15 which, in the example illustrated leads forwards and backwards. This is intended to facilitate the evacuation of snow and is not limiting.
  • the rib 12 and the groove 15 have a similar length. This length is of the same order of magnitude as the length of the shoe.
  • Figure 3 shows in cross section the element 11 fitted on the element 10.
  • the lateral flanks 17, 18 of the rib 12 are inclined relative to a vertical plane, so that the rib widens downwards.
  • the lateral flanks 19 and 20 of the rib are also inclined in a complementary manner.
  • the widths of the rib and the groove are determined so that the fit and the support between the rib and the groove in a vertical direction is done by the relative support of their respective lateral flanks.
  • the vertical support between the two elements could also be produced by cooperation of the top 21 of the rib with the bottom 22 of the groove, or else by the edges 23 of the groove with the lateral edges of the base 13, or any other suitable means.
  • the lateral edges 23 of the groove could be fitted at least locally with strips or pads 25 of elastically deformable material which ensure both a partial recovery of forces vertical, a backlash, and if necessary a slight elastic play during the slide. These bands or skates can also be useful during walking.
  • the device illustrated in the figures also comprises a locking means for holding the interlocking of the rib and the groove.

  • the zipper could also be replaced by a side lever or by any other suitable means for operate the targette, in particular a flexible means such as a cable.
  • the targette 31 has an inclined upper surface which allows a automatic engagement of the profile in the notch by vertical pressure of the profile on the targette. If necessary, the bottom surface of the bolt is slightly inclined to ensure automatic play take-up on the profile 28.
  • the face of the notch opposite the bolt may have an opening in which the end of the bolt engages in the closed position of the notch.
  • the notch in section has dimensions very close to those of the profile 28 to ensure its retention almost without play.
  • the mode of use of the device is as follows.
  • the element 11 associated with the shoe constitutes by example the lower part of a shoe sole, which is surmounted by a shell or a rod appropriate. This shell or this rod are not shown in the various figures.
  • the element 10 is secured to the surface of the gliding board in a desired orientation. Solidarity is carried out by any appropriate means.
  • the orientation of the element 10 relative to the longitudinal longitudinal direction 2 of the board is adjustable. Any other setting can also be added in particular an inclination adjustment of the shoe relative to a direction perpendicular to the board, or an adjustment of the distance separating the element 10 from the other retaining element from the other shoe.
  • the surfer When putting on, the surfer places his shoe so that it fits on the rib 12, and the profile 28 is presented at the opening of the notch 30. If necessary, it can facilitate this positioning by a rocking movement from front to back of his shoe. By a vertical pressure of his shoe, the surfer forces the targette 31 to open, allowing penetration and then locking the profile in the notch.
