The anchorage fins of the bars are oriented opposite to each other. Inextensible connection elements (220) e.g. nylon wires, connect the fins of the edges along a part of length of a structural beam that defines a longitudinal direction of the snowboard. The elements are oriented in extension of the fins. Connection segments e.g. blade (220a), are oriented in the extension and alignment of the fins.

Description

L'invention concerne une planche de glisse à carres latérales. Une telle planche de glisse peut être par exemple un ski pour la pratique du ski alpin ou une planche de surf de neige.The invention relates to a gliding board with side edges. Such a snowboard can be for example a ski for the practice of alpine skiing or a snowboard surf.

De façon connue, un ski présente une structure composite avec une semelle de glisse qui est bordée de deux carres latérales. Les carres sont en général métalliques, et chaque carre possède un corps de carre avec deux faces et une arête qui sont apparentes depuis l'extérieur. Autrefois les carres étaient vissées. Maintenant elles sont retenues par une ailette d'ancrage qui est encastrée dans la structure du ski.In known manner, a ski has a composite structure with a gliding sole which is bordered by two side edges. The edges are usually metallic, and each edge has a square body with two faces and one edge that are visible from the outside. Formerly the edges were screwed. Now they are held by an anchor wing which is embedded in the structure of the ski.

Les carres doivent être flexibles, d'une part pour suivre la ligne de cotes du ski, et d'autre part pour accompagner les mouvements de flexion du ski au cours de la glisse. Ainsi, usuellement, les ailettes d'ancrage sont ajourées afin de ne pas opposer de résistance majeure à la flexion. Certaines carres sont également construites en segments mis bout à bout.The edges must be flexible, on the one hand to follow the line of dimensions of the ski, and on the other hand to accompany the bending movements of the ski during the glide. Thus, usually, the anchoring fins are openwork so as not to oppose major resistance to bending. Some squares are also built in end-to-end segments.

Au cours de la glisse, les carres sont soumises à des sollicitations qui sont parfois intenses et brutales, par exemple en virage sur une neige gelée ou encore lorsque le ski rencontre une pierre. Le risque est alors un arrachement de la carre. Différents moyens ont été proposés pour renforcer l'encastrement de la carre dans la structure du ski. Par exemple le modèle d'utilité AT001880U1 propose par exemple des languettes d'ancrage qui sont recourbées, les demandes de brevet EP0887090 ou encore EP1297868 proposent des nervures ou des plots en saillie qui sont emprisonnés dans la structure du ski.During the glide, the edges are subjected to stresses which are sometimes intense and brutal, for example when turning on a frozen snow or when the ski meets a stone. The risk is then a tear of the edge. Various means have been proposed to reinforce the embedding of the edge in the structure of the ski. For example the utility model AT001880U1 proposes, for example, anchoring tabs which are bent, patent applications EP0887090 or EP1297868 propose protruding ribs or studs which are trapped in the structure of the ski.

Une autre solution est décrite dans le brevet US3297332 . Selon ce document, les deux carres sont reliées par des bandes de liaison en pont qui sont encastrées dans la structure du ski.Another solution is described in the patent US3297332 . According to this document, the two edges are connected by bridge connecting strips which are embedded in the structure of the ski.

Ce dernier mode de construction donne de bons résultats. Néanmoins il est adapté à une structure et une géométrie particulières du ski en termes de largeur et de longueur. De ce fait, la mise en oeuvre de cette solution est extrêmement complexe et coûteuse, notamment pour une gamme de ski de différentes longueurs, et elle impose au constructeur de ski de revoir complètement la conception du ski pour y intégrer les bandes de liaison. En outre la forme en pont des bandes de liaison n'est pas le mode de construction qui offre la meilleure résistance à l'arrachement pour les carres.This last mode of construction gives good results. Nevertheless it is adapted to a particular structure and geometry of the ski in terms of width and length. Therefore, the implementation of this solution is extremely complex and expensive, especially for a range of ski of different lengths, and it requires the ski manufacturer to completely review the design of the ski to incorporate the connecting strips. In addition the bridge form of the bands of Link is not the construction mode that offers the best tear resistance for the edges.

Compte tenu de cet état de la technique, il existe un besoin pour une planche de glisse de structure traditionnelle, dont la résistance des carres à l'arrachement est améliorée.Given this state of the art, there is a need for a gliding board of traditional structure, the edge resistance to tearing is improved.

Ce but et d'autres buts et avantages qui apparaîtront au cours de la description qui va suivre sont atteints par l'objet de l'invention.This and other objects and advantages which will become apparent from the following description are achieved by the subject of the invention.

La planche de glisse selon l'invention comprend une poutre structurelle ayant une semelle de glisse bordée de chaque côté par une carre latérale, chaque carre possédant un corps de carre et une ailette d'ancrage, les ailettes d'ancrage des deux carres étant orientées en vis-à-vis.The gliding board according to the invention comprises a structural beam having a gliding sole bordered on each side by a lateral edge, each edge having a body of edge and an anchoring fin, the anchoring fins of the two edges being oriented. in vis-à-vis.

Selon l'invention, un élément de liaison inextensible relie les ailettes d'ancrage, et cet élément est orienté dans le prolongement de chacune des ailettes.According to the invention, an inextensible connecting element connects the anchoring fins, and this element is oriented in the extension of each of the fins.

L'invention sera mieux comprise en se référant à la description ci-dessous et aux dessins en annexe qui lui sont rattachés.

  • La figure 1 montre une vue générale d'un ski.
  • La figure 2 est une vue en section du ski de la figure 1.
  • La figure 3 illustre un premier mode de mise en oeuvre de l'invention.
  • La figure 4 est relative à un autre mode de mise en oeuvre de l'invention.
  • La figure 5 montre une variante de construction.
The invention will be better understood by reference to the description below and attached drawings attached thereto.
  • The figure 1 shows a general view of a ski.
  • The figure 2 is a sectional view of the ski from the figure 1 .
  • The figure 3 illustrates a first embodiment of the invention.
  • The figure 4 relates to another embodiment of the invention.
  • The figure 5 shows a construction variant.

En se référant à la figure 1, le ski 1 représenté est une poutre allongée définissant une direction longitudinale et comprenant une zone centrale 2 ou patin, une spatule recourbée 3 et un talon 4. Dans le sens de la longueur la poutre est cambrée, avec un patin surélevé par rapport à un plan horizontal sur lequel reposerait le ski.Referring to the figure 1 , the ski 1 shown is an elongated beam defining a longitudinal direction and comprising a central zone 2 or skid, a curved spatula 3 and a heel 4. In the longitudinal direction the beam is arched, with a skid raised relative to a horizontal plane on which the ski would rest.

La poutre du ski est structurelle, c'est à dire qu'elle est constituée de plusieurs composants qui contribuent à lui donner des propriétés mécaniques déterminées statiques et dynamiques.The beam of the ski is structural, that is to say that it consists of several components that contribute to give it specific static and dynamic mechanical properties.

En section la structure du ski de la figure 2 est formée par un noyau central 6 qui repose sur un sous-ensemble inférieur 7 et qui est recouvert d'un sous-ensemble supérieur 8. Le noyau forme une sorte d'entretoise entre les deux sous-ensembles.In section the ski structure of the figure 2 is formed by a central core 6 which rests on a lower subset 7 and which is covered with an upper subassembly 8. The core forms a kind of spacer between the two subsets.

Le noyau est de tout type approprié. Il peut être un noyau en forme obtenu par exemple par usinage, et réalisé en bois ou en mousse de polyuréthane. Ou bien le noyau peut être injecté dans un moule de fabrication du ski après mise en place des différents composants du ski. De façon classique le sous-ensemble inférieur comprend une semelle de glisse inférieure 9 bordée de deux carres latérales 10 et 11. La semelle de glisse est en tout matériau approprié, par exemple en polyéthylène éventuellement chargé de poudres additionnelles.The kernel is of any suitable type. It may be a shaped core obtained for example by machining, and made of wood or polyurethane foam. Or the core can be injected into a ski-making mold after placing the different components of the ski. Conventionally the lower subassembly comprises a lower gliding sole 9 bordered by two side edges 10 and 11. The gliding sole is made of any suitable material, for example polyethylene optionally loaded with additional powders.

La semelle de glisse est recouverte par la structure de renfort inférieure 12 qui comprend une ou plusieurs couches de renfort superposées. La ou les couches de renfort sont de tout type approprié. Par exemple elles sont formées par un renfort en fibres noyé dans une matrice de résine, ou encore en des lames métalliques. Comme fibres on peut prendre des fibres de verre, de carbone, d'aramide ou tout autre matière appropriée. Les renforts peuvent mettre en oeuvre des fibres de nature différente. Comme renfort en métal on peut utiliser une lame en alliage d'aluminium, en acier ou en métal amorphe.The gliding sole is covered by the lower reinforcing structure 12 which comprises one or more superposed reinforcing layers. The reinforcing layer or layers are of any suitable type. For example they are formed by a fiber reinforcement embedded in a resin matrix, or metal blades. As fibers can be taken glass fiber, carbon, aramid or any other suitable material. The reinforcements may use fibers of different types. As metal reinforcement can be used a blade of aluminum alloy, steel or amorphous metal.

Le sous-ensemble supérieur comprend une couche externe de décor qui est par exemple réalisée en une matière thermoplastique, notamment en polyuréthane, polyamide-11, polyamide-12, ou autres, ou encore en ABS ou en ABS / PU. La couche de décor peut être complexe c'est-à-dire être formée de la superposition de films unitaires. Elle est décorée par tout moyen approprié, notamment par sérigraphie ou par sublimation.The upper subassembly comprises an outer decorative layer which is for example made of a thermoplastic material, in particular polyurethane, polyamide-11, polyamide-12, or others, or in ABS or ABS / PU. The decorative layer can be complex, that is to say be formed of the superposition of unit films. It is decorated by any appropriate means, including screen printing or sublimation.

Sous la couche de décor 14 le sous-ensemble supérieur 8 comprend une structure de renfort supérieure 15 formée d'une ou plusieurs couches de renfort. Comme pour le sous-ensemble inférieur, les couches de renfort peuvent être composites ou métalliques ou une combinaison de ces matières.Under the decorative layer 14 the upper subassembly 8 comprises an upper reinforcing structure 15 formed of one or more reinforcing layers. As for the lower subset, the reinforcing layers can be composite or metallic or a combination of these materials.

A noter que pour les structures de renfort inférieure et supérieure on peut avoir localement des feuilles de renfort additionnelles, notamment dans la zone du patin.Note that for the lower and upper reinforcement structures can be locally additional reinforcing sheets, especially in the pad area.

De façon classique, les différents composants du ski sont placés dans un moule, et ils sont assemblés entre eux à l'aide de la résine qui forme la matrice des couches de renforts, et/ou à l'aide de feuilles de colle qui sont intercalées entre les différentes couches, ou encore à l'aide de la matière du noyau pour un ski à noyau injecté.Conventionally, the various components of the ski are placed in a mold, and they are assembled together with the aid of the resin which forms the matrix of the reinforcing layers, and / or with the aid of glue sheets which are interleaved between the different layers, or using the material of the core for an injected core ski.

La structure du ski n'est pas limitative, et d'autres modes de construction du ski peuvent aussi convenir.The structure of the ski is not limiting, and other ski construction methods may also be suitable.

De façon classique, les carres sont réalisées en métal, ou un autre matériau qui est différent des matériaux utilisés pour les autres composants du ski.Typically, the edges are made of metal, or another material that is different from the materials used for the other components of the ski.

Chaque carre présente un corps de carre, respectivement 11 a, 10a et une ailette d'ancrage, respectivement 11 b, 10b. Les corps de carre ont une section polygonale, et ils possèdent des faces 11 c, 11 d, 10c, 10d visibles de l'extérieur, qui forment entre elles une arête 11e, 10e.Each edge has a edge body, respectively 11a, 10a and an anchor fin, respectively 11b, 10b. The edge bodies have a polygonal section, and they have faces 11c, 11d, 10c, 10d visible from the outside, which form between them an edge 11e, 10e.

Les ailettes d'ancrage 11 b, 10b sont surélevées par rapport à la surface de glisse définie par la surface inférieure de la semelle, et elles sont orientées en vis-à-vis parallèlement au plan défini par la semelle de glisse. Les ailettes d'ancrage 11 b, 10b ont des échancrures 11f, 10f réparties de façon régulière le long de chacune des carres. Ces échancrures sont plus particulièrement visibles dans la figure 3. Les échancrures peuvent être ouvertes ou fermées. Dans le mode de réalisation illustré en figure 3, elles sont ouvertes.The anchoring fins 11b, 10b are raised relative to the sliding surface defined by the lower surface of the sole, and they are oriented vis-à-vis parallel to the plane defined by the gliding sole. The anchoring fins 11b, 10b have indentations 11f, 10f distributed evenly along each edge. These notches are more particularly visible in the figure 3 . The notches can be opened or closed. In the embodiment illustrated in figure 3 they are open.

Un élément de liaison relie les carres 10 et 11 par l'intermédiaire des ailettes d'ancrage. L'élément de liaison est orienté dans le prolongement des ailettes, c'est à dire qu'il est orienté parallèlement au plan des ailettes, et qu'il s'étend dans leur alignement, ou qu'il repose sur leur face supérieure et/ou sur leur face inférieure. L'élément de liaison est formé d'une succession de segments de liaison dont chaque extrémité est accrochée à l'ailette d'ancrage d'une carre à des endroits distants les uns des autres de façon à former une sorte de maillage entre les carres. D'une carre à l'autre, les segments sont orientés transversalement, c'est à dire perpendiculairement à la direction longitudinale définie par la poutre du ski, ou bien ils sont orientés en oblique. Les segments peuvent aussi se croiser. Les segments sont des éléments unitaires indépendants, ou alors plusieurs segments peuvent être issus d'un sous-ensemble commun. Pour une paire de ski, les segments de liaison de chacun des skis peuvent avoir une disposition asymétrique relativement à la direction longitudinale du ski, et ils peuvent avoir une disposition symétrique d'un ski à l'autre.A connecting element connects the edges 10 and 11 through the anchoring fins. The connecting element is oriented in the extension of the fins, that is to say that it is oriented parallel to the plane of the fins, and that it extends in alignment, or that it rests on their upper face and / or on their underside. The connecting element is formed of a succession of connecting segments, each end of which is hooked to the anchor fin of a square at locations distant from each other so as to form a sort of mesh between the edges. . From one edge to another, the segments are oriented transversely, that is to say perpendicular to the longitudinal direction defined by the beam of the ski, or they are oriented obliquely. Segments can also intersect. Segments are independent unit elements, or more than one segment may be from a common subset. For a pair of skis, the connecting segments of each of the skis may have an asymmetric disposition relative to the longitudinal direction of the ski, and they may have a symmetrical disposition from one ski to another.

L'élément de liaison présente une épaisseur faible, il est souple par exemple il s'agit d'un fil ou d'une tresse, ou rigide par exemple c'est une bande de métal. En passant d'une carre à l'autre, le fil forme une succession de segments de liaison qui relient les deux carres. De cette façon, il s'intègre dans la structure du ski sans nécessiter un aménagement particulier de la structure et il est flexible selon la direction longitudinale du ski, pour accompagner les mouvements de flexion du ski sans opposer une résistance significative. Les segments de liaison sont inextensibles et ils sont tendus entre les deux carres de préférence sans précontrainte au repos, si bien que l'élément de liaison retient les deux carres l'une relativement à l'autre et qu'il s'oppose à l'arrachement local d'une carre en renvoyant directement les sollicitations d'arrachement sur l'autre carre qui elle-même s'appuie sur la structure du ski.The connecting element has a low thickness, it is flexible for example it is a wire or a braid, or rigid for example it is a metal strip. Moving from one edge to another, the wire forms a succession of connecting segments that connect the two edges. In this way, it integrates into the structure of the ski without requiring a particular arrangement of the structure and is flexible in the longitudinal direction of the ski, to accompany the bending movements of the ski without opposing a significant resistance. The link segments are inextensible and they are stretched between the two edges preferably without prestressing at rest, so that the connecting element holds the two edges relative to one another and it opposes the local tearing of a square by directly returning the pulling stresses on the another square which itself is based on the structure of the ski.

La figure 3 illustre un premier mode de mise en oeuvre de l'invention. Un fil 20 est tendu entre les carres, le fil est accroché dans les becs 10g, 11 g qui délimitent les échancrures 10f, 11f des carres et il forme entre les carres un zigzag par une succession continue de segments d'ancrage 20a qui s'étendent dans le prolongement des ailettes, et dont les extrémités se situent tantôt sur le dessus et tantôt sur le dessous de l'ailette.The figure 3 illustrates a first embodiment of the invention. A wire 20 is stretched between the edges, the wire is hooked in the beaks 10g, 11g which delimit the notches 10f, 11f of the edges and it forms between the edges a zigzag by a continuous succession of anchoring segments 20a which extend in the extension of the fins, and whose ends are sometimes on the top and sometimes on the underside of the fin.

Il se peut que les échancrures soient fermées, dans ce cas le fil est enfilé dans les trous des échancrures.It may be that the notches are closed, in this case the thread is threaded into the holes of the indentations.

Tout type de fil ou de tresse peut convenir, notamment un fil de nylon, une tresse de fibres d'aramide, une tresse métallique ou autre encore. Le fil peut être simple comme cela est représenté, ou bien on peut avoir un fil croisé, à la manière d'un lacet de chaussure. Le fil s'étend sur tout ou partie de la longueur des carres, et dans ce dernier cas il couvre de préférence au moins la zone du patin qui est la zone du ski la plus exposée. Egalement, sur la longueur du ski il est possible de faire varier l'angle que forment les différents segments de liaison avec la direction longitudinale du ski en sautant un nombre plus ou moins important d'échancrures entre deux zones d'accrochage successives. Les extrémités du fil sont attachées par tout moyen approprié, et par exemple à l'aide d'un noeud. Il est possible également de réaliser un noeud au niveau du passage dans les échancrures des carres.Any type of wire or braid may be suitable, such as nylon wire, aramid fiber braid, metal braid or the like. The thread can be simple as shown, or it can have a cross thread, in the manner of a lace shoe. The wire extends over all or part of the length of the edges, and in the latter case it preferably covers at least the area of the pad which is the area of the most exposed ski. Also, over the length of the ski it is possible to vary the angle formed by the different connecting segments with the longitudinal direction of the ski by jumping a more or less significant number of notches between two successive attachment areas. The ends of the wire are attached by any appropriate means, for example by means of a node. It is also possible to make a knot at the passage in the notches of the edges.

Un fil souple est avantageux car la longueur des segments de liaison s'ajuste d'elle même en fonction de l'écartement des points d'accrochage aux carres. Ainsi, un même type de fil peut être utilisé pour une gamme de ski de longueurs différentes, ou pour des skis qui ont des lignes de cotes différente. Egalement du fait de sa souplesse, le fil n'oppose pas de résistance à la flexion du ski. Sa présence ne modifie donc pas les propriétés mécaniques du ski. A la fabrication du ski, le fil s'intègre et s'encastre dans le ou les éléments qui sont au contact des ailettes d'ancrage et sur lesquelles les ailettes prennent appui. Par exemple, le fil s'encastre dans une couche de renfort, un couche de colle, ou alors dans le noyau pour un ski à noyau injecté.A flexible yarn is advantageous because the length of the connecting segments adjusts itself according to the spacing of the points of attachment to the edges. Thus, the same type of yarn can be used for a ski range of different lengths, or for skis that have different sidecuts. Also because of its flexibility, the wire does not oppose resistance to the bending of the ski. Its presence therefore does not modify the mechanical properties of the ski. In the manufacture of the ski, the wire integrates and fits into the element or elements that are in contact with the anchoring fins and on which the fins are supported. For example, the wire is embedded in a reinforcing layer, a layer of glue, or in the core for an injected core ski.

La figure 4 est relative à un autre mode de mise en oeuvre de l'invention. Les deux carres 110 et 111 sont reliées localement par un élément de liaison 120 formé par une succession de lames de liaison indépendantes 120a qui forment chacune un segment de liaison. Les lames ont une faible épaisseur, elles sont orientées transversalement, leurs extrémités sont engagées et sont accrochées dans les échancrures 110f et 111f des carres. Par exemple les extrémités sont pliées de façon à former un crochet, ou bien l'accrochage est réalisé à l'aide d'un plot métallique rapporté. Les lames reposent indifféremment sur le dessus ou le dessous des ailettes d'ancrage. D'autres moyens d'accrochage conviennent également.The figure 4 relates to another embodiment of the invention. The two edges 110 and 111 are connected locally by a connecting element 120 formed by a succession of independent connecting blades 120a which each form a connecting segment. The blades have a small thickness, they are oriented transversely, their ends are engaged and are hooked into the notches 110f and 111f of the edges. For example, the ends are folded so as to form a hook, or the hooking is carried out using a metal stud reported. The blades rest indifferently on the top or bottom of the anchor fins. Other attachment means are also suitable.

Comme dans le cas précédent, on peut placer les lames 120a à des distances variables en sautant un nombre plus ou moins important d'échancrures entre deux lames successives. Les lames peuvent être orientées en oblique.As in the previous case, the blades 120a can be placed at varying distances by jumping a greater or lesser number of notches between two successive blades. The blades can be oriented obliquely.

Une variante de construction est illustrée en figure 5. Les échancrures 210f et 211f des carres 210 et 211 sont ouvertes. La lame 220a de l'élément de liaison 220 a une tête d'accrochage 220b, 220c à chacune de ses extrémités qui s'emboîte dans une échancrure de l'une ou l'autre des carres à la manière d'une pièce de puzzle. De cette façon la lame est dans le prolongement et dans l'alignement des ailettes de carres.A variant of construction is illustrated in figure 5 . The notches 210f and 211f of the edges 210 and 211 are open. The blade 220a of the connecting element 220 has a fastening head 220b, 220c at each of its ends which fits into a notch of one or other of the edges in the manner of a puzzle piece. . In this way the blade is in line with and in alignment with the edge fins.

D'autres modes de constructions sont encore possibles.Other modes of construction are still possible.

Naturellement la présente description n'est donnée qu'à titre indicatif et l'on pourrait adopter d'autres mises en oeuvre de l'invention sans pour autant sortir du cadre de celle-ci. En particulier l'invention s'applique également aux planches de surf de neige, et de façon générale à toute planche de glisse pourvues de carres latérales.Naturally, the present description is given only as an indication and other embodiments of the invention could be adopted without departing from the scope thereof. In particular, the invention also applies to snowboard surfboards, and generally to any gliding board provided with side edges.

Egalement l'invention s'applique aux planches dont les carres sont formées par une succession de segments de carres mis bout à bout.The invention also applies to boards whose edges are formed by a succession of edge segments placed end to end.
