Definitions

  • the invention relates to the field of sliding sports and more especially downhill skiing. It is more specifically aimed at alpine skis equipped with platforms for raising the elements of the binding.
  • This type of platform fulfills several functions, in particular that of raise the level of the abutment and the attachment to, for example, prevent sides of the shoe come into contact with the snow when the board is inclined.
  • Platforms are, in the vast majority of cases, produced by manufacturers different from those who develop and market skis. Moreover, these platforms are, most often, sold to be mounted on any ski market regardless of its brand and characteristics.
  • a constant concern with this kind of platform lies in the interaction of the stiffness of the platform with the intrinsic stiffness of the board. Indeed, in particular function of its anchoring on the upper face of the ski, the platform inevitably increases the stiffness of the whole and thus disturbs the stiffness intrinsic of the board studied in structure and dimensions to present certain mechanical properties.
  • a problem that the invention proposes to solve is that of integrating the rigidity characteristics of the platform to that of the ski, from the conception of this one.
  • the platform being an additional piece reported on the ski, the means of anchoring to the ski, as well as the connecting surfaces between the ski and the platform must meet a number of constraints.
  • a problem that the invention proposes to solve is that of ensuring a controlled rigidity of the board / platform assembly, while allowing anchoring platform that is mechanically reliable and efficient.
  • the invention relates to an alpine ski having a mark or midpoint of shoe, indicating the position of the middle of the shoe, and equipped with a platform raising element comprising front, central and rear zones.
  • the platform comes to bear on the board at the level of three points forming support wedges whose thicknesses are determined for avoid annoying the natural camber of the board whose thickness is maximum with regard to the central area of the platform.
  • the feet of the platform may consist of additional independent elements forming a support wedge and placed between the underside of the platform and the upper face of the board, or even be an integral part of the platform and form protuberances under the face lower of the latter.
  • the anchoring points at the central and front of the platform are separated longitudinally by a distance between 200 and 230 millimeters.
  • the positioning of the platform on the ski determines the stiffness distribution.
  • the central anchor is advantageously arranged in front of the center shoe mark traced on the ski, that is to say between 5 and 50 millimeters forward in the direction of the spatula and advantageously between 20 and 35 millimeters.
  • the ski may comprise a second stud in elastic material coming into contact with the rear end of the platform, and being also able to be compressed during the relative movements of the platform by relative to the upper face of the board.
  • the platform may include an anchor back, that is to say located close to the rear foot, this anchoring point being be expected to link with or advantageously without sliding the back of the ski platform. In the latter case, it is a question of maintaining the back of the platform resting on the top of the ski, to maintain the lateral guidance but allow longitudinal movement to the ski at this anchor point.
  • the stud or pads may have a hardness between 40 Shore A and 95 Shore A.
  • the hardness of the front stud may be greater than that of the rear block, which allows a stiffening of the front of the ski, which is interesting because it is the front of the ski which, by registering firmly in the snow allows good cornering accuracy (without skidding or chatter).
  • the invention relates to an alpine ski equipped with a platform of raising the attachment.
  • the gliding board (1) receives the platform (2) at its skate zone.
  • This platform (2) is constituted a metal plate that has a constant width on almost all its length.
  • the invention is not limited to this geometry but covers other variants in which the width of the platform can be variable.
  • the platform (2) comprises of each side two extensions (3, 4) coming substantially in contact with the face upper (5) of the board (1).
  • these extensions come to bear on shims made of viscoelastic material or ABS.
  • the platform (2) can be made according to different techniques. So, he can be a profile with longitudinal cavities intended to lighten the platform itself.
  • the platform can also be made from of a massive plate or other.
  • the platform (2) rests on the upper face (5) of the ski by three feet (10, 11, 12), respectively at the level of the rear area (6), central (7) and front (8) of the platform.
  • the feet (10, 11, 12) can be formed as in the form illustrated by independent support blocks, added during the mounting of the platform (2) on the board (1). They may also, in a form not shown, be constituted by two protuberances forming an integral part of the platform. These feet (10, 11, 12) allow to ensure the elevation of the platform (2) itself.
  • the foot (11) situated at the level of the central zone (7) has a height h 2 less than the heights h 1 , h 3 of the feet (10, 12) situated at the level of the zones respectively rear (6) and front (8) of the platform.
  • each foot is measured between the underside of the foot (10, 11, 12) and the upper face of the platform (2).
  • the difference in height between the central foot (11) and the two front and rear feet (10, 12), is of the order of 1 millimeter. In this way, the camber natural ski is not disturbed when setting up the platform (2).
  • the raising platform (2) is secured to the board (1) by screwing at least the front zone (8) and the central zone (7). More precisely, in the form illustrated in FIG. 2, the platform (2) comprises at the level of the central zone (7) two orifices (15, 16) receiving two screws (17, 18). These two screws (17, 18) have a head whose thickness is housed inside the platform. The diameter of these screws corresponds substantially to the openings therethroughs (19, 20) in the shim (11), so that the screws (17, 18) are set up on the board with a minimum of play compared to the platform.
  • the two screws (17, 18) are arranged in front of the mark (9) located on the ski, materializing the middle position of the shoe. More specifically, in the illustrated example, the two screws (17, 18) are away from the point (9) of the middle of the boot by a distance d1, of 27 millimeters direction of the spatula.
  • the platform comprises two other orifices (23, 24) receiving two screws (25, 26). These two screws (25, 26) pass through the shim (12) with a minimum of mechanical play to come to anchor in the structure of the board (1).
  • the screws (25, 26) are distant from the screws (17, 18) of the central zone (7) by a distance d2 equal to 223 millimeters.
  • d2 equal to 223 millimeters.
  • the platform includes two lights elongate through-holes (30, 31) within which screws (32, 33) penetrate. These lights (30, 31) comprise a shoulder intended to prevent any movement of the platform (2) upwards.
  • the lights (30, 31) are elongated in a longitudinal direction to allow a slight sliding of the rear area (6) of the platform relative to the anchoring point that constitutes the screws (32, 33).
  • the screws (32, 33) pass through the rear wedge (10) by lights which can be either lengthened if the wedge is secured to the platform, or of a diameter identical to that of the screws (32, 33) if the shim is free with respect to the platform (2).
  • the rear area (6) of the platform can also be firmly anchored to the board, and therefore have three zones of solidarity on the board, which increases the stiffness of the whole.
  • the ski comprises two studs (40, 41) coming into contact with the end of the platform (2). More precisely, the front stud (40) has a rear face (42) which comes into contact from the front end of the platform (2).
  • the geometry of the stud (40) can be adapted according to that of the platform (2), for example to increase the contact area.
  • the stud (40) is associated with a stop (44) which is secured to the face top of the board, so as to constitute a fixed area of the ski against which supports the front face (46) of the stud (40).
  • the stud (40) is compressed between the front end (42) of the platform and the rear face (46) of the stop (44). In this way, some of the stresses generated on the screws (25, 26) is supported by the stud (40), which limits the risk of shearing the fastening screws (25, 26).
  • the stop may also be formed by a boss formed in the same structure of the ski's upper face.
  • the invention is not limited to the sole embodiment in which both ends of the platform are equipped with a pad of material elastic, but it also covers variants in which only one of these studs is present.
  • the studs (40, 41) consist of an elastic material of the type natural rubber whose stiffness has an impact on the behavior of the ski.
  • the ski according to the invention has a relatively comfortable behavior, especially for a versatile practice.
  • the rubber used has a hardness between 70 and 95 Shore A (corresponding to 45 Shore D)
  • the skiing behavior is more steep, and therefore destines such a ski to a competitive practice.
  • the ski has two front and rear studs, mixes in the hardnesses of the studs optimize the behavior.
