Definitions
- the invention relates to a member protection assembly, in particular a part forming the stem of a motorcycle boot intended to protect the shin of a motorcyclist.
- a member protection assembly in particular a part forming the stem of a motorcycle boot intended to protect the shin of a motorcyclist.
- Protections of the type comprising: a substantially tabular body extending in a longitudinal direction, intended to be adjusted around said member and having a slot extending in the longitudinal direction,
- a rigid tongue intended to cover a front part of the body extending on either side of said slot, - a flange extending transversely to the longitudinal direction, between the edges of the slot, said flange being linked to the body on either side of the slot in an adjustable manner in order to adjust the spacing between the edges of the slot.
- the geometry of the boot must be adaptable with a fairly generous adjustment range. Of course, it is desirable that maximum protection is provided for all users.
- the assembly must be relatively simple. Since the solutions of the prior art are hardly satisfactory on all of these different points, the invention proposes that said tongue be carried by the flange on which it is mounted to slide freely and in that the tongue and the body cooperate together to automatically center the tab relative to the slot. Thus, the protective tabs do not shift inward (one toward the other) when the user has a large calf or outward otherwise. Effective protection is thus obtained independently of the morphological characteristics of the user. In addition, this solution is simple and therefore inexpensive and light, and does not require any particular attention from the user when tightening the boot.
- the assembly further comprises blocking means having an inactive position in which they allow free sliding of the tongue on the flange and an active position in which they oppose said sliding, and the locking means are placed in the active position when the tongue is applied against said front region.
- the use of the assembly is always easy, but in addition even in the event of a violent impact, the protective tab remains effectively positioned.
- the blocking means include:
- a pawl having a shape complementary to that of the grooves made in the flange for engaging therein, said pawl coming elastically in the inactive position in the absence of any external force and forming a projection relative to said tongue in the direction of said front zone when it is in said inactive position.
- the invention proposes that:
- said front part has a non-circular shape in cross section, and - Said tab has in cross section a shape complementary to that of the front part.
- said front zone has a substantially parabolic cross section.
- the tongue comprises two plastic parts assembled together.
- FIG. 1 is a side view of a motorcycle boot according to the invention
- FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view along the line marked II-II in FIG. 1,
- FIG. 3 is a sectional view along the line marked III-III in Figure 2 of the tongue and the flanges alone.
- Figures 1 to 3 illustrate a motorcycle boot 1 comprising a body 2 intended to receive the leg of a motorcyclist and articulated with respect to a base part 4 intended to receive the foot of the motorcyclist.
- the body 2 is defined by a rigid shell of substantially tubular shape extending in a longitudinal direction 6.
- This body 4 has a slot 8 extending in the longitudinal direction 6 over at least most of the length of the body 2.
- the boot 1 also comprises a rigid protective tongue 10 also extending in the longitudinal direction 6 and covering the slot 8.
- This tongue is carried by two flanges (upper and lower) 12 extending transversely to the longitudinal direction 6 and passing through the tongue 10 while allowing free sliding of the tongue on the flanges 12.
- Each of these flanges 12 is linked to a first end 12a, by means of a clamping lever 14 (also used for loosening) to the body 2 and has, at a second end 12b, opposite the first 12a, notches 16 cooperating with a pawl of tightening 18.
- the clamping levers 14 and the clamping pawls 18 are arranged on either side of the slot 8 and are connected to one another by the flanges 12.
- the different notches 16 of the flanges allow adjust the width of the slot 8, in other words the distance between the edges 8a and 8b of the slot, by varying the distance between the clamping levers 14 and the clamping pawls 18.
- the tabs 10 are received by a front part 22 of the body 2 extending on either side of the slot 8.
- This front part 22 has in cross section a substantially parabolic shape corresponding to the curve of the calf of a user in the tibial part.
- the tongues 10 have in cross section a shape complementary to the front part 22 on which they are applied when the boot is tightened using the notches 16, the tightening pawls 18 and the tightening levers 14.
- the assembly further comprises means for locking in the centered position of the tongue.
- These means comprise grooves forming teeth 24 formed on the flanges 12 and a locking pawl 26 of complementary shape linked to the tongue 10.
- This locking pawl 26 is resiliently movable between an inactive position illustrated in FIG. 3 in which the pawl is away from the teeth 24 and an active position in which the pawl engages in the teeth 14 to prevent sliding of the tongue 10 relative to the flanges 12.
- the locking pawl 24 is positioned in the inactive position, and protrudes from the tongue in the direction of the front part 22.
- the tongue 10 When the flanges 12 are tightened, the tongue 10 is pressed against the front surface 22 which then comes into contact with the locking pawl 26, thus bringing it into the active position.
- the tongue 10 comprises two plastic parts 10a, 10b assembled together, here by clipping. They are connected by ribs 28 and reserve spaces between them, including two passages 20 intended to receive the flanges 12 carrying the tongue.
- the locking pawl 26 is obtained by molding with the tongue and more precisely here with the plastic part 10a.
