Definitions

  • the invention relates to the field of devices for retaining a shoe on a board, and particularly relates to devices used in the practice of surfing on snow, or snowboard.
  • Snowboarding is usually done with a board and shoes on the board by restraints.
  • Some devices comprise a base, intended to be secured to the board, and means for retaining the boot on the base.
  • Cushions housed in cavities of the base so as to contact the sole of the shoe, allow to dampen shocks related to driving the board.
  • the structures of cushions and cavities are such that each cushion is held in a cavity by the board when the base is secured to the board. When the base is disengaged from the board, each cushion can be removed from its home cavity.
  • Removable cushions make them easy to replace when worn, but assembly, adjustment, or maintenance of the devices.
  • This problem is particularly perceptible to people whose job is to rent surfboards to users because these people must frequently manipulate retainers for adjusting and maintaining them.
  • the subject of the invention is a retaining device on which at least one cushion can be removably retained without it being difficult or tedious to change it.
  • the invention proposes a device for retaining a shoe on a board of slides, the device comprising a base which has an upper face provided for receive the sole of the shoe and a lower face provided to take support on the board, at least one cavity being formed in the thickness of the base between the face upper and lower face to accommodate a cushion, the cushion projecting in part from less compared to the upper face when it is housed in the cavity, a means allowing a detachable attachment of the cushion in the cavity, the means for manipulating the device without losing the cushion.
  • the device according to the invention is characterized in that the means comprises a shape projecting from a peripheral edge of the cavity.
  • This arrangement makes the change of the cushion easy and quick to perform. In addition, it is also easy to mount, adjust, or maintain the device.
  • a retaining device 1, visible in FIG. 1, makes it possible to retain a boot 2 on a board 3.
  • the device 1 comprises a base 4 retained on the board 3 by means of retained, well known to those skilled in the art, represented in the form of a disc 5 and screws 6, 7, 8, 9. Plate 3 is shown in part only for convenience.
  • a retaining means 10 is secured to the base 4 to hold the shoe 2 on the base 4.
  • the retaining means 10 is shown in the form of a structure which allows a removable attachment of an anchoring means 11, itself secured to the shoe 2 by any suitable means.
  • the retaining means 10 and the shoe 2 associated with the anchoring means 11 are known by the document FR 96 13158 and will not be described in more detail here.
  • the device 1 has front and rear cushions 12 and 13 intended to contact the sole 14 of the shoe 2 when the latter is retained on the base 4.
  • the cushions 12, 13 are retained on the base 4 removably as it is better understand using Figures 2, 3 and 4.
  • FIG. 2 shows that the cushion 12 can be introduced into a cavity 15 of the base 4, to be retained in the cavity 15.
  • the cushion 12 has the shape of a plate which has an upper face 16 provided to contact the base 4, and a face lower 17 provided to contact the board 3.
  • a boss 18 protrudes on the upper face 16 of the plate, the boss 18 having a contact face 19 provided to contact the shoe 2, and an edge device 20 connecting the contact face 19 to the upper face 16.
  • the cavity 15 passes through the thickness t of the base 4, the cavity 15 having a portion upper 21 which accommodates the boss 18 of the cushion 12, and a lower portion 22 which welcomes the cushion plate 12.
  • the upper portion 21 of the cavity 15 has a peripheral edge 23 whose length is substantially equal to the length of the peripheral edge 20 of the boss 18 of the cushion 12.
  • the cushion 12 can be introduced into the cavity 15 on the side of a lower face 24 of the base 4, the face 24 being provided to bear on the board 3. Portions 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30 of the plate, delimiting the upper face 16, prevent any displacement cushion 12 in a direction from the lower face 24 to an upper face 31 of the base 4.
  • a displacement of the cushion 12 relative to the base 4, in any direction substantially parallel to the upper face 31, is prevented by contact with the peripheral edge 20 on the peripheral edge 23.
  • Fastening means oppose a displacement of the cushion 12 with respect to the base 4 in a direction from the upper face 31 to the lower face 24, that is to say in a direction of separation of the cushion 12 with respect to the base 4.
  • attachment means are represented in the form of bosses protruding by relative to the peripheral edge 23 of the upper portion 21 of the cavity 15, such as the bosses 32, 33.
  • bosses 33 and 34 of the edge 23 are lodged respectively in notches 35, 36 for receiving the bosses 33, 34, the notches 35, 36 being formed in the peripheral edge 20 of the cushion 12.
  • the base 4 is made of a relatively rigid material, that is to say a material which deforms very little under the action of forces exerted by a user during the course of driving of plate 3.
  • a metal alloy or a reinforced plastic material or not, as a polyamide reinforced with glass fibers, is very suitable.
  • the cushions 12, 13 are made of a relatively flexible material, that is to say a material that can become deformed when manual pressure is exerted on it and its initial shape when the pressure disappears.
  • the cushion 12 is fitted to the hand in the cavity 15 when the device 1 is not retained on the board 3.
  • the separation of the cushion 12 and the base 4 is easily done when the device 1 is not retained on the board 3. Just push the boss 18 by hand so as to remove the upper face 16 of the cushion 12 of the base 4. This operation is easily done thanks to the flexibility of the material constituting the cushion 12.
  • the flexibility of the cushion 12 is increased by the presence of a cavity 37 of the cushion 12 which opens on the lower face 17.
  • the advantage is that the replacement of the cushion 12 is very easy and very fast.
  • the cushion 12 can not out of the cavity 15 when the device 1 is retained on the board 3.
  • the cushion 12 can damping shocks of the shoe 2 on the base 4.
  • the number of bosses of the peripheral edge 23 is not limited.
  • the bosses of the edge 23 may have any suitable shape, such as that of a prism, a portion of sphere, a cylinder, a cone or other.
  • the bosses could be arranged on the peripheral edge 20 of the cushion 12.
  • Notches such as notches 35, 36 are not essential.
  • the presence of the cavity 37 is not essential.
  • the plate delimiting the upper face 16 and the lower face 17 could have a continuous appearance, that is to say with material joining the portions 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30.
  • Each cushion 12, 13 may have an appropriate shape such as that of an ellipse, a circle, a polygon or other.
  • the cavity 15 could be non-through and the mounting of the cushion could be done side of the upper face 31.
  • the means for detachable attachment of the cushion 12 may have a structure different from that using bosses.
  • nails could cross the cushion 12 between the faces 16 and 17 to be planted in the base 4.
  • the head of the nails is facing the board 3.
  • the flexibility of the cushion 12 allows it to deform to let the heads of the nails into the material constituting the cushion 12. From more, the nails and the base 4 can be monobloc.
  • the device comprises a cushion 40 and a base 41.
  • the cushion 40 has two bosses 42, 43 intended to be housed respectively in two cavities 44, 45 of the base 41.
  • a retaining means 46 and a disc 47 serve respectively to retain a shoe on the base 41 and retain the base 41 on a board.
  • the cushion 40 has an orifice 48 which allows the disc 47 to cooperate with the board for holding the base 41.
  • the cushion 40 has an upper face 49 on which the base 41 is supported. when the latter is retained on the board. That is to say that when the device is retained on the board, the base 41 is not in contact with the board, because the base 41 takes support on the cushion 40.
  • bosses 42, 43 are protruded by relative to an upper face 51 of the base 41. This allows the bosses 42, 43 to contact the sole of the shoe to cushion shocks or vibrations of the shoe compared to the device. It could be provided, in an alternative embodiment, a number of bosses greater than two to contact the sole of the shoe.
  • Each of the peripheral edges 52, 53 of the cavities 44, 45 has means latches shown in the form of bosses 54, 55, 56 and 57.
