Description

Domaine techniqueTechnical area

L'invention se rattache au domaine des sports de glisse sur neige, et plus particulièrement au ski alpin. Elle concerne plus spécifiquement les skis alpins dont la face supérieure au niveau de la zone patin n'est pas totalement plane, mais au contraire possède des évidements latéraux, au niveau des arêtes supérieures.The invention relates to the field of snow sliding sports, and more especially in downhill skiing. It relates more specifically to alpine skis whose upper face at the level of the skate zone is not totally flat, but on the contrary has lateral recesses, at the level of the upper edges.

Techniques antérieuresPrevious techniques

De façon générale, dans sa zone patin un ski alpin possède au moins une surface inférieure de glissement composée d'une semelle bordée de carres métalliques. Il comporte également une face supérieure sensiblement parallèle à la surface inférieure de glissement, de part et d'autre du plan longitudinal médian du ski.In general, in its skating zone an alpine ski has at least one lower sliding surface composed of a sole edged with edges metal. It also has an upper face substantially parallel to the lower sliding surface on either side of the median longitudinal plane of the ski.

Il existe deux familles principales de structures permettant de réaliser les skis alpins actuels. Dans une première famille, la structure comprend une coque de section générale trapézoïdale qui relie une carre à l'autre en coiffant les éléments constitutifs de la structure.There are two main families of structures for making skis current alpines. In a first family, the structure includes a shell of trapezoidal general section that connects a square to another by styling the elements constituent parts of the structure.

Dans une seconde famille, la structure comporte des éléments de renforcement latéraux qui forment au moins une partie des faces latérales du ski. Ces éléments de renforcement sont généralement apparents et forment les chants du ski sur toute ou partie de son épaisseur.In a second family, the structure includes elements of side reinforcements that form at least a portion of the side faces of the ski. These reinforcing elements are usually apparent and form the songs skiing on all or part of its thickness.

Ces éléments de renforcement sont situés à l'aplomb des carres, et plus précisément de la partie des carres la plus épaisse qui jouxte la semelle de glisse, également appelée "cordon". Grâce à ces éléments de renforcement, les appuis exercés sur la face supérieure du ski sont plus efficacement transmis sur les carres et donc permettent un meilleur accrochage.These reinforcing elements are located squarely on the edges, and more precisely the thickest part of the edges that adjoins the gliding sole, also called "cord". Thanks to these reinforcing elements, the supports exerted on the upper face of the ski are more effectively transmitted on the edges and therefore allow a better grip.

On a décrit dans le document FR 2 703 916, une planche de glisse présentant de tels éléments de renforcement, et qui possède également des évidements réalisés au niveau des faces latérales s'étendant entre la partie haute des éléments de renforcement et la face supérieure du ski. Document FR 2 703 916 describes a gliding board presenting such reinforcing elements, and which also has recesses made at the lateral faces extending between the upper part of the elements of strengthening and the upper face of the ski.

Plus précisément, le ski décrit dans ce document présente un décrochement de hauteur entre la partie centrale de sa face supérieure et les zones latérales. Ce décrochement forme un évidement réalisé au-dessus de l'élément de renforcement.More precisely, the ski described in this document presents a step of height between the central part of its upper face and the lateral zones. This recess forms a recess made above the reinforcing element.

Cet élément de renforcement possède une hauteur qui est sensiblement constante sur toute la longueur du ski de sorte que les évidements réalisés au niveau de la zone patin possèdent un fond sensiblement parallèle à la semelle de glisse.This reinforcing element has a height that is substantially constant over the entire length of the ski so that the recesses made at level of the pad area have a bottom substantially parallel to the sole of slips.

L'objectif de l'invention est de fournir un ski qui possède une géométrie dérivée de celle décrite ci-avant, et dont les qualités de comportement dynamique soient supérieures, notamment en ce qui concerne l'enchaínement des différentes phases d'un virage.The object of the invention is to provide a ski which has a geometry derived from that described above, and whose dynamic behavioral qualities be superior, especially as regards the sequence of different phases of a turn.

Exposé de l'inventionPresentation of the invention

L'invention concerne donc une planche de glisse destinée à la pratique du ski alpin qui, de façon connue, présente au moins dans la zone patin :

  • une surface inférieure de glissement composée d'une semelle bordée de carres métalliques ;
  • une face supérieure sensiblement parallèle à la surface inférieure de glissement de part et d'autre du plan longitudinal médian de la planche ;
  • des éléments de renforcement latéraux situés à l'aplomb d'au moins une partie du cordon des carres métalliques ;
  • des faces latérales s'étendant entre la partie haute des éléments de renforcement et la face supérieure, ladite face latérale présentant des évidements situés en dessous du plan de la face supérieure et débouchant sur cette dernière.
The invention therefore relates to a gliding board for the practice of alpine skiing which, in a known manner, has at least in the pad area:
  • a lower sliding surface composed of a sole lined with metal edges;
  • an upper face substantially parallel to the lower sliding surface on either side of the median longitudinal plane of the board;
  • lateral reinforcing elements located at the base of at least a portion of the cord of the metal edges;
  • lateral faces extending between the upper part of the reinforcing elements and the upper face, said lateral face having recesses located below the plane of the upper face and opening on the latter.

Conformément à l'invention, cette planche se caractérise en ce que les évidements forment une zone en creux se raccordant aux éléments de renforcement, et en ce que la partie inférieure de ces évidements présente une pente inclinée longitudinalement par rapport à la surface inférieure de glisse et à la face supérieure.According to the invention, this plate is characterized in that the recesses form a hollow zone connecting to the reinforcing elements, and in that the lower part of these recesses has a slope inclined longitudinally with respect to the lower gliding surface. and on the upper side.

Autrement dit, les évidements caractéristiques forment une zone en creux à l'intérieur des éléments de renforcement latéraux qui présentent donc une hauteur réduite et variable au niveau de ces évidements. La planche présente donc au niveau de ces chants une diminution continue de son épaisseur. Cela induit une variation de raideur partielle et localisée dans la zone de l'évidement. Par conséquent, le comportement de la planche est modifié en fonction de la localisation du point d'application des forces exercées par le skieur, cette localisation dépendant notamment fortement de la position qu'adopte le skieur pendant les différentes phases d'un virage.In other words, the characteristic recesses form a recessed area at the inside of the lateral reinforcing elements which therefore have a height reduced and variable at these recesses. The board therefore presents level of these songs a continuous decrease in its thickness. This induces a partial stiffness variation and localized in the area of the recess. By therefore, the behavior of the board is changed according to the location of the point of application of the forces exerted by the skier, this depending particularly strongly on the position adopted by the skier during the different phases of a turn.

Les évidements caractéristiques peuvent épouser différentes formes.The characteristic recesses can take different forms.

Ainsi, la partie inférieure des évidements, c'est-à-dire leur fond, peut être inclinée soit vers l'avant et le bas du ski, soit vers l'arrière et le bas du ski. Dans ce dernier cas, l'inclinaison de la coupe longitudinale dans l'élément de renforcement latéral reporte la pression d'appui vers l'avant du ski durant le virage, puisque la raideur partielle du ski est plus importante à l'avant qu'à l'arrière de l'évidement. Ceci améliore donc la conduite du virage car la prise de carres lors du déclenchement du virage est plus efficace.Thus, the lower part of the recesses, that is to say their bottom, can be inclined either towards the front and the bottom of the ski, or towards the back and the bottom of the ski. In this last case, the inclination of the longitudinal section in the reinforcing element Laterally, the support pressure is applied towards the front of the ski during the turn, since the partial stiffness of the ski is more prominent at the front than at the rear of the recess. This improves the steering of the turn because the edge Turn initiation is more effective.

La pente inclinée du fond des évidements peut également présenter diverses géométries. Ainsi, la partie inférieure des évidements peut présenter une pente qui est soit sensiblement constante sur la majeure partie de sa longueur, soit encore variable sur la longueur de l'évidement. Autrement dit, le fond incliné de l'évidement peut être soit plan, soit courbe.The inclined slope of the bottom of the recesses may also have various geometries. Thus, the lower part of the recesses may have a slope which is either substantially constant over most of its length, or variable over the length of the recess. In other words, the inclined bottom of the recess can be either plane or curve.

Selon une autre caractéristique de l'invention, les zones latérales de la planche peuvent inclure des matériaux différents, et ce en avant et en arrière de l'évidement caractéristique. Le choix de matériaux différents permet de conférer des propriétés mécaniques différentes aux zones directement en avant et en arrière de l'évidement caractéristique.According to another characteristic of the invention, the lateral zones of the board may include different materials, both in front and behind the recess feature. The choice of different materials makes it possible to confer properties different mechanics to the zones directly in front of and behind the recess feature.

Ainsi, dans une première forme de réalisation, un des matériaux présents dans une des zones latérales peut être de nature viscoélastique, de manière à conférer des propriétés d'amortissement à la zone latérale en question. Thus, in a first embodiment, one of the materials present in one of the lateral zones may be of a viscoelastic nature, so as to confer damping properties at the lateral area in question.

A l'inverse, un des matériaux présents dans les zones latérales peut être de nature élastique, de manière à conférer des propriétés de dynamisation à la zone latérale en question.Conversely, one of the materials present in the lateral zones may be of elastic nature, so as to impart dynamisation properties to the zone lateral in question.

Ces matériaux particuliers peuvent être incorporés dans les zones latérales selon des géométries différentes. Ainsi, lorsqu'il s'agit par exemple de matériau viscoélastique, celui-ci peut être incorporé dans le ski sous forme d'un fuseau disposé au-dessus de l'élément de renforcement latéral.These particular materials can be incorporated in the lateral zones according to different geometries. So, when it comes for example of material viscoelastic, it can be incorporated into the ski in the form of a spindle disposed above the lateral reinforcing element.

Lorsqu'il s'agit d'un matériau essentiellement élastique, ce dernier peut former plusieurs éléments localisés à l'intérieur de fentes ménagées dans la zone latérale en question. De la sorte, lorsque la planche se cintre, les différentes fentes ont tendance à se refermer en comprimant le matériau qu'elle renferme. Lorsque la cause du cintrage disparaít, les éléments élastiques qui se situent à l'intérieur des fentes, exercent un effort qui a tendance à ré-écarter la fente pour qu'elle retrouve sa géométrie initiale. Cette accélération de retour en position se traduit donc par une dynamisation de la planche qui favorise une pratique plus sportive du ski.When it is a material essentially elastic, the latter can form several elements located inside slots in the lateral zone in question. In this way, when the board hinges, the different slots have tend to close by compressing the material it contains. When the cause of the bending disappears, the elastic elements which are located inside the slots, exert an effort that tends to re-discard the slot for it to find its initial geometry. This acceleration of return to position therefore translates into a dynamisation of the board which favors a sportier practice of skiing.

En pratique, les fentes peuvent présenter un profil en V ou en Y, ou un profil rectangulaire, ou bien encore une combinaison de ces différentes géométries.In practice, the slots can have a profile in V or Y, or a profile rectangular, or even a combination of these different geometries.

Selon le type de comportement que l'on souhaite obtenir, on localise la zone présentant des propriétés amortissantes soit à l'avant, soit à l'arrière de l'évidement, et la zone latérale présentant des propriétés de dynamisation soit à l'arrière, soit à l'avant de l'évidement.Depending on the type of behavior one wishes to obtain, one locates the zone having damping properties either at the front or at the rear of the recess, and the side area having energizing properties either at the back or at the front of the recess.

Dans une forme particulière d'exécution, les évidements caractéristiques peuvent présenter une largeur, mesurée transversalement à la planche, qui est variable sur la longueur de l'évidement. On peut ainsi optimiser la variation de raideur partielle de la planche.In a particular embodiment, the characteristic recesses may have a width, measured transversely to the board, which is variable over the length of the recess. We can thus optimize the variation of partial stiffness of the board.

Dans certaines variantes, la planche de glisse peut comporter plusieurs évidements réalisés du même côté de la planche. Ces évidements, au nombre de 2 ou 3, peuvent présenter des inclinaisons orientées dans le même sens, ou dans une forme préférée dans des sens opposés. In certain variants, the gliding board may comprise several recesses made on the same side of the board. These recesses, 2 in number or 3, may have inclinations oriented in the same direction, or in a preferred form in opposite directions.

Ainsi, dans un mode de réalisation particulier, la planche possède deux évidements sur chacun des côtés. L'évidement situé à l'avant présente une inclinaison orientée vers le bas et vers l'avant. L'évidement situé à l'arrière présente quant à lui une inclinaison orientée vers le haut et vers l'avant (ou de manière équivalente vers le bas et vers l'arrière).Thus, in a particular embodiment, the board has two recesses on each side. The recess at the front shows a tilt down and forward. The recess located at the rear presents for its part, an inclination directed upwards and forwards (or so equivalent downward and backward).

Une telle planche peut notamment être équipée d'une plate-forme de rehaussement de la fixation, qui comporte des portions latérales dont le bord inférieur vient en contact ou en regard du fond de l'évidement, avec une pente inclinée complémentaire de celle du fond de l'évidement.Such a board can in particular be equipped with a platform of raising the attachment, which has side portions whose edge lower contact with or against the bottom of the recess, with a slope inclined complementary to that of the bottom of the recess.

Plus précisément, comme illustré à la figure 1, le ski (1) comprend une zone patin (2), une zone talon (3), et une zone spatule (4). As already stated, the invention relates to a ski which has a particularity of structure in its skate zone. More precisely, as illustrated in FIG. (1) comprises a shoe area (2), a heel area (3), and a spatula area (4).

    Dans la zone patin (2), le ski comporte une face supérieure (5) qui est destinée à recevoir la butée et la talonnière de la fixation, éventuellement par l'intermédiaire d'une plate-forme de rehaussement. Cette face supérieure (5) est sensiblement plane de part et d'autre du plan longitudinal médian du ski.In the skid zone (2), the ski has an upper face (5) which is intended to receive the stop and the heel of the fixation, possibly by via an elevation platform. This upper face (5) is substantially flat on both sides of the median longitudinal plane of the ski.

    De chaque côté, le ski (1) comporte un élément de renforcement (6) formant le chant du ski. Cet élément de renforcement latéral (6) s'étend sur la majeure partie de la longueur de la planche, de la zone talon (3) jusqu'à la zone spatule (4). Cet élément de renforcement latéral (6) est situé à l'aplomb des carres (7) présentes sur les arêtes inférieures du ski. Cet élément de renforcement latéral (6) permet la transmission des appuis depuis la face supérieure (5) du ski en direction des carres (7), et plus précisément le cordon (8) de ces carres, qui constitue la portion des carres (7) venant directement en contact de la neige et présent sur l'arête inférieure de la planche.On each side, the ski (1) comprises a reinforcing element (6) forming the song of the ski. This lateral reinforcing element (6) extends over the major part of the length of the board, from the heel area (3) to the spatula area (4). This lateral reinforcing element (6) is located vertically above the edges (7) present on the lower edges of the ski. This lateral reinforcing element (6) allows the transmission of supports from the upper face (5) of the ski towards the edges (7), and more precisely the cord (8) of these edges, which constitutes the portion of edges (7) coming directly into contact with the snow and present on the lower edge of the board.

    Comme illustré à la figure 1, la planche comprend des faces latérales (10) qui s'étendent entre la partie haute des éléments de renforcement (6) et la face supérieure (5) de la planche.As illustrated in FIG. 1, the board comprises lateral faces (10) which extend between the upper part of the reinforcing elements (6) and the face upper (5) of the board.

    Conformément à l'invention, ces faces latérales (10) comportent des évidements (12) débouchant sur la face supérieure (5). Selon une caractéristique de l'invention, ces évidements (12) forment une zone en creux (13) à l'intérieur des éléments de renforcement (6), comme illustré à la figure 2. Cet évidement (12) est délimité de façon principale par trois surfaces, à savoir une première surface (15) sensiblement verticale, et dont la partie haute rejoint la face supérieure (5) du ski. L'évidement (12) comporte également un fond (16) qui forme une pente inclinée par rapport à la surface de glissement (9) et à la face supérieure du ski (5). Ce fond incliné (16) se prolonge à l'arrière par une portion (17) qui se raccorde à la face supérieure du ski (5) à l'arrière de l'évidement (12).According to the invention, these lateral faces (10) comprise recesses (12) opening on the upper face (5). According to a characteristic of the invention, these recesses (12) form a recessed area (13) inside the reinforcement elements (6), as shown in FIG. 2. This recess (12) is delimited principally by three surfaces, namely a first surface (15) substantially vertical, and whose upper part joins the upper face (5) of the ski. The recess (12) also has a bottom (16) which forms an inclined slope relative to the sliding surface (9) and to the upper face of the ski (5). This background inclined (16) is extended at the rear by a portion (17) which connects to the face upper ski (5) at the rear of the recess (12).

    La zone (18) la plus profonde de l'évidement forme la limite entre la pente inclinée (16) et la portion (17) de raccordement à la face supérieure (5).The deepest zone (18) of the recess forms the boundary between the slope inclined (16) and the portion (17) of connection to the upper face (5).

    Comme illustré à la figure 3, on observe les limites (19, 20) de la zone en creux (13) formée dans l'élément de renforcement latéral (6). En pratique, ces limites (19, 20) peuvent être dissimulées sous une couche de protection non représentée, ayant pour objectif essentiel éviter que de l'eau ne s'immisce entre l'élément de renforcement latéral (6) et le reste de la structure.As illustrated in FIG. 3, the limits (19, 20) of the zone in hollow (13) formed in the lateral reinforcing element (6). In practice, these limits (19, 20) can be concealed under a non-protective layer represented, with the essential objective of preventing water from interfering with the lateral reinforcing element (6) and the rest of the structure.

    En pratique, la pente du fond incliné (16) de l'évidement (12), mesurée par rapport à la surface de glisse (9) est comprise entre 1 et 20°, et préférentiellement entre 2° et 5°.In practice, the slope of the inclined bottom (16) of the recess (12), measured by relative to the sliding surface (9) is between 1 and 20 °, and preferentially between 2 ° and 5 °.

    Ainsi, comme illustré en comparant les figures 4 et 5 constituant des coupes selon les plans respectivement IV-IV' et V-V' de la figure 3, l'épaisseur e1 de la planche, mesurée au niveau de ses chants, sensiblement au niveau le plus bas (18) de l'évidement (12), est inférieure à l'épaisseur e2 mesurée plus en avant de l'évidement.Thus, as illustrated by comparing Figures 4 and 5 constituting sections according to the plans respectively IV-IV 'and V-V' of Figure 3, the thickness e1 of the board, measured at the level of its edges, substantially at the lowest level (18) of the recess (12) is smaller than the thickness e2 measured further forward of the recess.

    Dans le premier cas, illustré à la figure 4, l'épaisseur e1 correspond à l'épaisseur de l'élément de renforcement latéral (6) à laquelle se rajoute l'épaisseur du cordon (8) des carres (7), dans lesquels se positionne la semelle (25). L'élément de renforcement latéral (6) est généralement moins large que l'évidement (12), et possède par exemple une largeur équivalente à celle du cordon de carre (8).In the first case, illustrated in FIG. 4, the thickness e1 corresponds to the thickness of the lateral reinforcing element (6) to which the thickness is added cord (8) edges (7), in which is positioned the sole (25). The element lateral reinforcement (6) is generally narrower than the recess (12), and has for example a width equivalent to that of the edge cord (8).

    Comme illustré à la figure 5, et plus en avant de l'évidement (12), la planche comprend non seulement l'élément de renforcement latéral (6) pris dans sa hauteur maximale, mais également une partie (24) de la structure interne (23) de la planche, qui s'étend au-dessus des éléments de renforcement (6).As illustrated in FIG. 5, and further in front of the recess (12), the board comprises not only the lateral reinforcing element (6) taken in its height maximum, but also a portion (24) of the internal structure (23) of the board, which extends above the reinforcing elements (6).

    Dans les formes illustrées aux figures 4 et 5, la planche comprend dans sa structure interne un renfort supérieur (28) qui épouse des formes différentes le long de la planche et qui s'étend plus ou moins latéralement, comme le montre la comparaison des figures 4 et 5.In the forms illustrated in FIGS. 4 and 5, the board comprises in its internal structure an upper reinforcement (28) that marries different shapes along of the board and which extends more or less laterally, as shown in comparison of Figures 4 and 5.

    Bien entendu, l'invention n'est pas limitée aux seules formes de réalisation illustrées, mais couvre également les variantes dans lesquelles la pente inclinée du fond de l'évidement est orientée dans le sens opposé, c'est-à-dire vers l'arrière et vers le haut. Dans ce cas, la zone la plus profonde de l'évidement est située plutôt en partie avant de ce dernier, alors que dans les figures illustrées, cette zone la plus profonde (18) est située plutôt à l'arrière de l'évidement (12). Of course, the invention is not limited to the embodiments alone illustrated, but also covers variants in which the inclined slope of the bottom of the recess is oriented in the opposite direction, that is to say towards the back and to the top. In this case, the deepest area of the recess is located rather in front of the latter, while in the illustrated figures, this area most deep (18) is located at the rear of the recess (12).

    L'invention couvre également d'autres variantes dans lesquelles la largeur des évidements n'est pas constante, mais variable sur la longueur de l'évidement.The invention also covers other variants in which the width of the recesses is not constant, but varies over the length of the recess.

    L'invention n'est pas non plus limitée à la forme illustrée à la figure 2 dans laquelle le fond (16) de l'évidement (12) est sensiblement plan, mais elle embrasse au contraire toutes les variantes concernant la géométrie du fond de l'évidement, et par exemple un fond courbe, dès lors que le fond de cet évidement n'est pas parallèle à la surface de glisse et à la face supérieure du ski.The invention is not limited to the form illustrated in FIG. which the bottom (16) of the recess (12) is substantially flat, but it embraces on the contrary all variants concerning the geometry of the bottom of the recess, and for example a curved bottom, since the bottom of this recess is not parallel to the sliding surface and to the upper face of the ski.

    Dans la forme illustrée à la figure 1, la planche possède également quatre bossages (11a,11b,11c,11d) disposés en avant et en arrière de chaque évidemment (12). Ces bossages optionnels reportent les appuis de la zone patin en direction des zones spatule et talon.In the form shown in Figure 1, the board also has four bosses (11a, 11b, 11c, 11d) disposed forward and backward of each obviously (12). These optional bosses postpone the support of the skating zone in the direction of spatula and heel areas.

    Selon un autre aspect de l'invention, le ski conforme à l'invention présente, en avant et en arrière de l'évidement (12), des zones latérales qui incluent des matériaux différents.According to another aspect of the invention, the ski according to the invention has, in forward and backward of the recess (12), lateral zones which include different materials.

    Ainsi, et comme illustré à la figure 6, le ski comprend en avant de l'évidement (12) un fuseau (30) incluant un matériau viscoélastique.Thus, and as illustrated in FIG. 6, the ski comprises in front of the recess (12) a spindle (30) including a viscoelastic material.

    Comme illustré à la figure 7, ce fuseau (30) peut être inséré au-dessus de l'élément de renforcement (6) et en dessous de la portion (31) formant le haut de la structure de la planche.As shown in FIG. 7, this spindle (30) can be inserted above the reinforcing element (6) and below the portion (31) forming the top of the structure of the board.

    Ce fuseau (30) peut reposer par exemple sur l'élément de renforcement latéral (6) ou bien être inséré à l'intérieur d'une zone en creux réalisée dans cet élément de renforcement, ou bien encore reposer sur l'élément de renforcement latéral pour former une zone en creux dans la portion de structure (31).This spindle (30) can rest for example on the lateral reinforcing element (6) or be inserted inside a recessed area made in this element of reinforcement, or else rest on the lateral reinforcing element for forming a recessed area in the structural portion (31).

    La présence de ce fuseau (30) en matériau viscoélastique confère des propriétés amortissantes à cette zone localisée de la planche. De la sorte, une partie des vibrations transitant par cette zone sont absorbées par ce fuseau (30). En outre, ce fuseau (30) absorbe une partie de l'énergie nécessaire au cintrage du ski dans la zone dans laquelle il est implanté, ce qui modifie 1a raideur locale du ski. Dans le cas où ce fuseau (30) est implanté comme dans la forme illustrée aux figures 6 et 7 en avant de l'évidement, cette raideur partielle modifiée facilite l'entrée dans le virage, et améliore le confort.The presence of this spindle (30) of viscoelastic material confers damping properties at this localized area of the board. In this way, some vibrations passing through this zone are absorbed by this zone (30). In addition, this spindle (30) absorbs part of the energy required to bend the ski in the zone in which it is implanted, which modifies the local stiffness of the ski. In the where this spindle (30) is implanted as in the form illustrated in FIGS. 6 and 7 in front of the recess, this modified partial stiffness facilitates entry into the turn, and improves comfort.

    Dans la forme illustrée à la figure 7, la zone latérale (37) du ski présente en arrière de l'évidement, différentes fentes (35) emplies d'un matériau élastique (36). Ces différentes fentes (35) sont creusées en étant légèrement orientées vers l'arrière et le haut de la planche.In the form illustrated in FIG. 7, the lateral zone (37) of the ski presents rear of the recess, different slots (35) filled with an elastic material (36). These different slots (35) are hollowed out slightly towards the back and the top of the board.

    Dans la forme illustrée, ces fentes présentent une forme générale en U, comportant deux parois principales parallèles, mais l'invention couvre également les variantes dans lesquelles ces fentes possèdent une section en V ou en Y. Ces deux géométries ou d'autres non représentées peuvent être mixées à l'intérieur d'un même ensemble de fentes.In the illustrated form, these slots have a generally U-shaped shape, having two parallel main walls, but the invention also covers variants in which these slots have a section V or Y. These two geometries or others not shown can be mixed inside a same set of slots.

    Le matériau utilisé pour emplir les fentes (35) peut être un matériau élastique tel que du caoutchouc ou un élastomère de polyuréthanne. Dans ce cas, lorsque le ski se cintre, les parois d'une même fente (35) ont tendance à se rapprocher en comprimant le matériau (36) qu'elles emprisonnent. Ce matériau (36) a donc tendance à s'opposer à cette déformation. Lorsque la cause du cintrage disparaít, c'est-à-dire lorsque le ski se retrouve à plat notamment après l'impulsion donnée par le skieur pour déclencher de virage, le matériau (36) a tendance à provoquer le ré-écartement des parois des fentes (35) et donc un retour en position plus rapide de la planche vers sa courbure initiale. Par courbure initiale, on entend la courbure de la planche lorsque le ski est chargé uniquement par le poids du skieur, de façon statique.The material used to fill the slots (35) can be an elastic material such as rubber or polyurethane elastomer. In this case, when the ski hinges, the walls of the same slot (35) tend to come closer in compressing the material (36) that they trap. This material (36) therefore tendency to oppose this deformation. When the cause of bending disappears, that is to say when the ski is flat especially after the given pulse by the skier to initiate a turn, the material (36) tends to cause the re-spacing of the walls of the slots (35) and thus a return to a faster position from the board to its initial curvature. By initial curvature, we mean the curvature of the board when the ski is loaded solely by the weight of the skier, so static.

    Bien entendu, les différentes fentes (35) peuvent être remplies d'un matériau qui possèdent également des propriétés viscoélastiques, telles que le VIBTENE®. Dans ce cas, la zone incluant la pluralité de fentes possède des propriétés amortissantes.Of course, the different slots (35) can be filled with a material which also have viscoelastic properties, such as VIBTENE®. In this case, the area including the plurality of slots has properties damping.

    Bien entendu, l'invention couvre les différentes variantes de positionnement des zones amortissantes et dynamisantes décrites précédemment. Ainsi, comme illustré à la figure 8, la planche comporte une zone (34) comprenant des fentes parallèles disposées en avant de l'évidement (12). Cette planche comprend également un fuseau (38) disposé à l'arrière de l'évidement (12). Of course, the invention covers the various positioning variants damping and energizing zones described above. So, as illustrated in FIG. 8, the board comprises a zone (34) comprising slots parallel disposed forward of the recess (12). This board includes also a spindle (38) disposed at the rear of the recess (12).

    Dans certaines variantes, il est possible d'utiliser deux zones comportant des fentes telles que décrites précédemment, l'une de ces zones étant situées à l'avant de l'évidement, l'autre étant située à l'arrière.In certain variants, it is possible to use two zones comprising slots as described above, one of these areas being located at the front of the recess, the other being located at the back.

    De la même manière, le ski peut également inclure deux fuseaux différents, étant situés à l'avant de l'évidement, l'autre étant situé à l'arrière.In the same way, the ski can also include two different time zones, being located at the front of the recess, the other being located at the rear.

    Une autre variante de réalisation est illustrée schématiquement à la figure 9. Dans ce cas, la planche possède deux évidements (53, 54) réalisés de chacun des côtés de la planche. Chacun de ces évidements (53, 54) est de conception analogue à ceux décrits ci-avant. Dans la forme particulière illustrée, le fond (55) de l'évidement avant (53) présente une inclinaison orientée vers le bas et vers l'avant. Le fond (56) de l'évidement arrière (54) présente une inclinaison orientée vers le haut et vers l'avant (ou de façon équivalente vers le bas et vers l'arrière).Another variant embodiment is illustrated schematically in FIG. 9. In this case, the board has two recesses (53, 54) made of each of the sides of the board. Each of these recesses (53, 54) is of similar design to those described above. In the particular form illustrated, the bottom (55) of the front recess (53) has a downward and forward inclination. The bottom (56) of the rear recess (54) has an inclination towards the up and forward (or equivalently down and back).

    La longueur (ℓ) de la portion (57) sensiblement horizontale séparant les deux évidements (53, 54) est variable selon les pentes et les longueurs des évidements (53, 54). Elle peut même être réduite à une valeur nulle, de sorte que ces deux évidements sont alors contigus.The length (ℓ) of the substantially horizontal portion (57) separating the two recesses (53, 54) is variable depending on the slopes and the lengths of the recesses (53, 54). It can even be reduced to zero, so these two recesses are then contiguous.

    Il ressort de ce qui précède que la planche de glisse conforme à l'invention présente de nombreux avantages, et notamment une répartition de la raideur dans la zone patin qui permet de concentrer le maximum de puissance au niveau des carres, et donc le maximum d'accrochage du ski sous le pied lors du déclenchement du virage.It follows from the foregoing that the gliding board according to the invention has many advantages, including a distribution of stiffness in the pad area which allows to concentrate the maximum power at the level of edges, and therefore the maximum grip of the ski underfoot when triggering of the turn.

    En outre, dans le cas où l'inclinaison de l'évidement caractéristique est orientée vers l'avant et vers le haut, comme dans les formes illustrées, on constate un report de la pression des points d'appui vers l'avant du ski durant le virage, et donc l'amélioration de la conduite du virage proprement dit.In addition, in the case where the inclination of the characteristic recess is forward and upward, as in the illustrated forms, a postponement of the pressure of the points of support towards the front of the ski during the turn, and therefore improving the driving of the turn itself.
