Description

La présente invention concerne un article de sport sur neige nommé diversement planche à neige, mono-ski, ou encore ski-surf.The present invention relates to a snow sports article variously named snowboard, mono-ski, or ski-surf.

Cet article de sport, nommé par la suite mono- ski, est en fait constitué d'un seul ski, d'environ deux fois la largeur d'un ski normal, muni au milieu de sa longueur des deux butées avant et arrière pour la fixation du ski au soulier du skieur. Un mono-ski de ce genre est par exemple décrit dans les brevets CH-A-548215, US-A-3947049 ou la demande WO-A-8002232.This sports article, hereinafter called mono-ski, is in fact made up of a single ski, approximately twice the width of a normal ski, provided in the middle of its length with two front and rear stops for the attachment of the ski to the skier's shoe. A mono-ski of this kind is for example described in the patents CH-A-548215, US-A-3947049 or the application WO-A-8002232.

Le but de la présente invention est de donner à ce mono-ski

  • - une meilleure conduite en ligne droite
  • - diminuer la tendance au survirage
  • - améliorer son aérodynamisme dans le cas de la neige profonde.
The purpose of the present invention is to give this mono-ski
  • - better driving in a straight line
  • - reduce the tendency to oversteer
  • - improve its aerodynamics in the case of deep snow.

Ces buts sont atteints avec le mono-ski selon l'invention défini dans la revendication principale.These aims are achieved with the mono-ski according to the invention defined in the main claim.

L'invention est décrite plus en détail en regard du dessin annexé dans lequel:

  • - La fig. 1 représente le mono-ski vu de profil fixé au soulier du skieur.
  • - La fig. 2 représente le mono-ski vu de dessus, mais sans les souliers.
The invention is described in more detail with reference to the appended drawing in which:
  • - Fig. 1 shows the mono-ski seen in profile attached to the skier's shoe.
  • - Fig. 2 represents the mono-ski seen from above, but without the shoes.

Le mono-ski a la forme d'une planche recourbée vers le haut à l'extrémité avant 2. Dans sa forme actuelle le mono-ski présente des difficultés de conduite en ligne droite. Pour y remédier, la planche est munie d'une ouverture 6 de forme allongée située à la partie avant du ski. Cette ouverture 6 s'étend sur environ % de la longueur du ski et est située environ à mi-distance entre l'extrémité avant 2 et les butées de fixation avant 7, sa largeur maximale étant d'environ % de la largeur de la planche.The mono-ski has the shape of a board curved upwards at the front end 2. In its current form, the mono-ski presents difficulties of driving in a straight line. To remedy this, the board is provided with an elongated opening 6 located at the front of the ski. This opening 6 extends over approximately% of the length of the ski and is situated approximately halfway between the front end 2 and the front fixing stops 7, its maximum width being approximately% of the width of the board. .

Dans sa forme actuelle, le mono-ski a aussi une tendance très prononcée au survirage dans le cas de traversée. Pour y remédier, la planche est munie d'une ouverture 5 de forme allongée qui s'étend depuis l'extrémité arrière dans la direction avant de la planche sur une longueur d'environ % de sa longueur. La largeur maximale de l'ouverture est d'environ ¼ de celle de la planche.In its current form, the mono-ski also has a very pronounced tendency to oversteer in the case of crossing. To remedy this, the board is provided with an elongated opening 5 which extends from the rear end in the front direction of the board over a length of approximately% of its length. The maximum width of the opening is approximately ¼ that of the board.

Les deux ouvertures sont reliées par une rainure 9 située dans la semelle et sur l'axe de symétrie de la planche.The two openings are connected by a groove 9 located in the sole and on the axis of symmetry of the board.

Dans le cas de neige profonde, vu la largeur de la planche, la neige a tendance à se tasser contre l'avant des fixations, et entre les souliers, surtout entre les tiges montantes de ces derniers. Cet amoncellement devient une gêne pour le skieur. L'ouverture 6 pare déjà à cet inconvénient en provoquant une sorte de soufflage qui diminue cet amoncellement.In the case of deep snow, given the width of the board, the snow tends to settle against the front of the bindings, and between the shoes, especially between the uppers of the latter. This heap becomes an embarrassment for the skier. The opening 6 already overcomes this drawback by causing a kind of blowing which reduces this heap.

Toutefois pour l'éviter complètement il s'est avéré efficace de munir le mono-ski d'une plaque 3 (en métal, ou en plastique) en forme de triangle qui couvre une partie de la planche devant les butées avant, les butées elles-mêmes et l'avant des souliers. Cette plaque est prolongée par une autre plaque 4 qui épouse en partie les deux jambes du skieur et est fixée par une articulation 10 soit à la première plaque, soit à la planche elle-même. La plaque 3 peut être fixée à la planche par exemple au moyen des mêmes vis que celles des butées avant. Il est aussi possible d'envisager d'intégrer la plaque 3 d'un bloc avec la planche et les fixations. Cette façon de faire permettrait de renforcer la partie centrale de la planche à l'endroit des fixations pour en éviter l'arrachement dû aux forces particulièrement élevées à cet endroit de la planche dans le cas du mono-ski.However, to completely avoid it, it has proven effective to provide the mono-ski with a plate 3 (made of metal or plastic) in the shape of a triangle which covers part of the board in front of the front stops, the stops themselves -same and the front of the shoes. This plate is extended by another plate 4 which partly marries the two legs of the skier and is fixed by a joint 10 either to the first plate, or to the board itself. The plate 3 can be fixed to the board for example by means of the same screws as those of the front stops. It is also possible to consider integrating the plate 3 of a block with the board and the fixings. This procedure would strengthen the central part of the board at the location of the bindings to avoid tearing due to the particularly high forces at this location of the board in the case of mono-ski.
