Abstract

A ski having a sandwich-like construction including rods and slit stops for changing a radial geometry of the ski. When the ski flexes, the rods and the ski change their respective radii differentially, causing changes in the slit stops. In turn, the slit stops spread or constrict to change maneuvering characteristics of the ski.

Description

L'invention est relative à un ski équipé d'un système mécanique de modification de sa géométrie radiale.The invention relates to a ski equipped with a mechanical system for modifying its radial geometry.

Le terme ski utilisé dans le présent texte couvre également les planches de glisse dites snowboards.The term ski used in this text also covers snowboards called snowboards.

L'état de la technique comprend le document DE-A-32 23 413, relatif à un ski comportant un système mécanique de modification de sa géométrie radiale.The state of the art comprises the document DE-A-32 23 413, relating to a ski having a mechanical system for modifying its radial geometry.

Précisément, avec ce système mécanique connu, d'une part, chacune des deux rives du ski est équipée d'une care montée pivotante autour d'un axe qui suit la direction longitudinale de la rive et, d'autre part, ces deux cares sont accouplées à un dispositif d'actionnement sensible à la charge que le ski reçoit d'un dispositif de maintien d'une chaussure sur ledit ski.Specifically, with this known mechanical system, on the one hand, each of the two sides of the ski is equipped with a care pivotally mounted about an axis which follows the longitudinal direction of the shore and, on the other hand, these two cares are coupled to a load-responsive actuator that the ski receives from a shoe-holding device on said ski.

Lorsque le ski n'est pas sollicité, les cares s'étendent latéralement au plan de la surface de glissement du ski, tandis que lorsque le ski reçoit une charge qui dépasse une valeur prédéterminée, les cares sont proportionnellement déplacées en saillie par rapport à ladite surface de glissement.When the ski is not stressed, the cares extend laterally to the plane of the sliding surface of the ski, whereas when the ski receives a load which exceeds a predetermined value, the cares are proportionally displaced projecting from said sliding surface.

Un résultat que l'invention vise à obtenir est un ski équipé d'un système mécanique du type précité qui permet de modifier sa géométrie radiale dans les zones avant et arrière dudit ski et non pas sur toute la longueur des rives dudit ski.A result that the invention aims to obtain is a ski equipped with a mechanical system of the aforementioned type which allows to modify its radial geometry in the front and rear areas of said ski and not along the entire length of the banks of said ski.

A cet effet, l'invention a pour objet un ski équipé d'un système mécanique de modification de sa géométrie radiale, selon la revendication 1.For this purpose, the subject of the invention is a ski equipped with a mechanical system for modifying its radial geometry, according to claim 1.

Le système mécanique selon l'invention comprend quatre éléments de base.The mechanical system according to the invention comprises four basic elements.

Le premier étant deux tiges (1) en matière flexible et non compressible dont une des extrémités est composée d'un tendeur et l'autre d'une partie conique.The first being two rods (1) of flexible and non-compressible material, one end is composed of a tensioner and the other of a conical portion.

Le deuxième élément est une butée fendue (2) constituée d'une pièce rapportée ou intégrée au ski sur sa surface supérieure à la hauteur de la spatule ou du talon, ou des deux. Cette pièce est en forme d'aile de raie fendue partiellement par le centre et comprenant un alésage conique dans l'axe du ski prévu pour recevoir l'extrémité conique de la pièce (1).The second element is a split stop (2) consisting of an insert or integrated into the ski on its upper surface at the height of the spatula or heel, or both. This piece is in the form of a line wing partially split by the center and comprising a conical bore in the axis of the ski provided to receive the conical end of the piece (1).

Le troisième est un système de tendeur (3) situé sur l'axe de la tige (1) et qui permet d'ajuster la longueur active de celle-ci.The third is a tensioner system (3) located on the axis of the rod (1) and which adjusts the active length thereof.

Le dernier élément (4) est un ou plusieurs guides placés le long du ski pour stabiliser la tige (1).The last element (4) is one or more guides placed along the ski to stabilize the rod (1).

Mécaniquement, la modification de la géométrie radiale du ski est engendrée lors de la flexion longitudinale de celui-ci. Cette flexion provoque une modification différente des rayons de la tige et du ski ce qui entraîne une avancée de la partie conique de la tige 1 dans l'alésage conique de la partie 2. Ce mouvement provoque l'ouverture de la partie 2 en agissant directement sur la géométrie radiale du ski.Mechanically, the modification of the radial geometry of the ski is generated during the longitudinal bending thereof. This bending causes a different modification of the spokes of the rod and the ski which causes an advance of the conical portion of the rod 1 in the conical bore of the part 2. This movement causes the opening of the part 2 by acting directly on the radial geometry of the ski.

Les avantages du système selon l'invention sont les suivants :

  • à plat la géométrie radiale du ski est légèrement convexe tandis qu'en courbe cette géométrie devient progressivement concave, ce qui améliore le comportement du ski en conduite et facilite son déclenchement,
  • le système offre la possibilité d'adapter les caractéristiques du ski aux conditions, par un réglage de la longueur active de la tige ou par son remplacement par une tige mieux adaptée.
The advantages of the system according to the invention are the following:
  • flat the radial geometry of the ski is slightly convex while in curve this geometry gradually becomes concave, which improves the behavior of the ski while driving and facilitates its release,
  • the system offers the possibility to adapt the characteristics of the ski to the conditions, by adjusting the active length of the rod or by replacing it with a better adapted rod.

Le système atténue les vibrations par l'ensemble de cette construction. Une géométrie favorisant un rendement optimal du ski dans toutes les situations.The system attenuates the vibrations by the whole of this construction. A geometry that promotes optimal ski performance in all situations.

Avec le système, l'effet "carving" est accentué pour une taille semblable.With the system, the carving effect is accentuated for a similar size.

Un mode de réalisation de l'invention est représenté par les croquis A,B,C.One embodiment of the invention is represented by sketches A, B, C.

On note la construction des deux tiges en fibre de carbone (1). A l'une des extrémités est collé un cône métallique à l'autre une douille collée et comportant un filetage extérieur.Note the construction of the two carbon fiber rods (1). At one end is glued a metal cone to the other a socket glued and having an external thread.

La pièce (2) en forme d'aile de raie est en matière composite réalisée par moulage et intégrée au ski par collage. Son alésage conique est un élément rapporté résistant à l'usure.The piece (2) in the form of a line wing is made of composite material made by molding and integrated into the ski by gluing. Its tapered bore is a wear-resistant insert.

La pièce (3) est un tendeur muni d'un filetage venant se viser sur la tige (1) et prenant appui sur la plaque du ski ou la fixation.The piece (3) is a tensioner provided with a thread coming to be aimed on the rod (1) and bearing on the ski plate or the binding.

Les guides de tiges sont en matière synthétique (4) et sont collés sur la face supérieur du ski.The rod guides are made of synthetic material (4) and are glued to the upper face of the ski.

Les pièces (2) et (4) sont fixées sur le ski aux endroits déterminés, puis les tiges (1) et les tendeurs (3) sont montés. Dessin (B). La longueur active étant ajustée par les tendeurs (3).The pieces (2) and (4) are fixed on the ski at the determined locations, then the rods (1) and the tensioners (3) are mounted. Drawing (B). The active length being adjusted by the tensioners (3).

Claims (8)

  2. Ski according to claim 1, characterised in that the rods can be multiple.
  3. Ski according to claim 1, characterised in that the stops can be multiple.
  4. Ski according to claim 1, characterised in that the rod is of one piece over the entire length of the ski.
  5. Ski according to claim 1, characterised in that the shape of the rod is variable.
