Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft einen Ski mit verstellbarer Vorspannung im Schaufelbereich nach dem Oberbegriff des Patentanspruchs 1.The present invention relates to a ski with adjustable preload in the blade area according to the preamble of patent claim 1.

Skier mit insbesondere im Bereich neben der Skibindung an der Oberseite des Skis angeordneten Spannvorrichtungen sind in vielen Sportbereichen einsetzbar. Hierunter zählen im Wintersportbereich, beispielsweise Skier zur Benutzung im Tiefschnee, spezielle Tourenski, Carvingski, etc. Eine andere Sportart, die derartige Ski erfordert, ist beispielsweise der Wasserskisport.Skis with in particular in the area next to the ski binding at the top of the ski arranged tensioning devices can be used in many sports areas. These include in winter sports, for example, skis for use in deep snow, special touring skis, carving skis, etc. Another sport that requires such skis, for example, the water skiing.

Im Stand der Technik sind bereits vielerlei verschiedene Ausführungsformen von Skiern bekannt, darunter auch Modelle, bei welchen Vorspannvorrichtungen sowie Abspannvorrichtungen am Ski montiert sind (z.B. WO 2008/110028 A1 ). Skier haben dabei in ihrer Längserstreckung einen wellenartigen, im Wesentlichen W-förmigen Verlauf, mit einer bezogen auf eine Fahrtrichtung des Skis vorne liegenden, angehobenen Spitze, die man auch als Schaufel bezeichnet und die an einem vorderen Kontaktpunkt am unteren Enden der Spitze endet, wo der Ski dann in einen nach oben gewölbten Bogen übergeht, ungefähr in dessen Mitte eine Skibindung vorgesehen ist. Dieser Bogen wiederum endet in einem hinteren Kontaktpunkt am hinteren, unten liegenden Ende des besagten Bogens, wobei der Ski dort wiederum in einen dann leicht nach oben verlaufenden Abschluss übergeht.In the prior art many different embodiments of skis are already known, including models in which biasing devices and guying devices are mounted on the ski (eg WO 2008/110028 A1 ). Skis have in their longitudinal extent a wave-like, substantially W-shaped course, with a relative to a direction of travel of the ski forward lying, raised tip, which is also referred to as a blade and which ends at a front contact point at the lower end of the tip, where The ski then merges into a curved arch, approximately in the middle of a ski binding is provided. This arch, in turn, terminates at a rear contact point at the rear, lower end of said arch, where the ski again merges into a then slightly upwardly extending end.

Es ist dabei bekannt, dass der Abstand der Kontaktpunkte zueinander und insbesondere der Abstand des vorderen Kontaktpunktes zum vorderen Ende der Skibindung das Fahrverhalten des Skis, insbesondere seine Wendigkeit bzw. Kurvenwilligkeit oder Drehfreudigkeit beeinflussen. Bei einem kleinen Abstand steigt die Wendigkeit bzw. die Kurvenwilligkeit/Drehfreudigkeit. Bei einem grösseren Abstand werden dabei die Geradeauslaufeigenschaften verbessert.It is known that the distance of the contact points to each other and in particular the distance of the front contact point to the front end of the ski binding affect the handling of the ski, in particular its maneuverability or cornering or Drehfreudigkeit. At a small distance increases the maneuverability or the curving / Drehfreudigkeit. At a greater distance while the straight-line characteristics are improved.

Um die Position der Kontaktpunkte des Skis zu verändern und um Schwingungen innerhalb des Skis zu dämpfen, werden im Stand der Technik mehrere unterschiedliche Vorspannvorrichtungen beschrieben. Darüber hinaus werden Konstruktionen für Skier diskutiert, bei denen die Steifigkeit des Skis im Bereich des vorderen oder hinteren Teils des Skis wahlweise zu verändern ist, z. B. um einen Ski an die unterschiedlichen Witterungsbedingungen, Pistenbedingungen oder Geländeformationen anzupassen.In order to change the position of the contact points of the ski and to dampen vibrations within the ski, several different pretensioning devices are described in the prior art. In addition, structures for skis are discussed in which the stiffness of the ski in the front or rear of the ski is to be changed optionally, for. B. to adapt a ski to the different weather conditions, slope conditions or terrain formations.

Die bisher bekannten Ausführungsformen der Skier weisen dabei alle den Nachteil auf, dass sie keine gezielte und exakte Verstellbarkeit der Position des vorderen Kontaktpunktes des Skis ermöglichen.The hitherto known embodiments of the skis have all the disadvantage that they do not allow targeted and exact adjustability of the position of the front contact point of the ski.

Der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt daher die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen Ski dahingehend weiterzuentwickeln, dass die Position insbesondere des vorderen Kontaktpunktes des Skis gezielt zu beeinflussen ist, um so den Ski bedarfsgerecht z. B. drehfreudiger zu gestalten, so dass sie für einen Benutzer gezielt einstellbar ist, um den Ski für verschiedene Skisportdisziplinen oder entsprechend den Fähigkeiten des Benutzers universell und flexibel einsetzbar zu machen.The present invention is therefore based on the object to further develop a ski to the effect that the position in particular of the front contact point of the ski is targeted to influence so as to meet the ski needs z. B. more revolving, so that it is specifically adjustable for a user to make the ski for various ski disciplines or according to the abilities of the user universally and flexibly.

Der erfindungsgemäße Ski hat die Merkmale gemäß dem beigefügten Hauptanspruch. Insbesondere weist er eine an der Oberseite des Skis angeordnete Skibindung und mindestens eine Spannvorrichtung auf, die als Spannseil ausgebildet ist und sich aus dem Bereich von einem Ende der Skibindung bis zum Bereich des vorderen Endes des Skis erstreckt. Dabei ist zwischen dem Ski und der Spannvorrichtung eine Stütze angeordnet, wobei die Stütze entlang der Längsachse des Skis verschiebbar ist, so dass der Kontaktpunkt des Skis mit dem Untergrund einstellbar ist.The ski according to the invention has the features according to the attached main claim. In particular, it has a ski binding arranged on the upper side of the ski and at least one tensioning device which is designed as a tensioning cable and extends from the region from one end of the ski binding to the region of the front end of the ski. In this case, a support is arranged between the ski and the tensioning device, wherein the support is displaceable along the longitudinal axis of the ski, so that the point of contact of the ski with the ground is adjustable.

Bei der bisher bekannten Spannvorrichtung wurde durch eine Veränderung der Spannung lediglich ein Hochziehen oder Absenken insbesondere der vorderen Spitze des Skis bewirkt. Eine gezielte Positionierung des Kontaktpunktes ist dabei aber nicht möglich.In the tensioning device known hitherto, merely a pulling up or lowering, in particular of the front tip of the ski, has been brought about by a change in the tension. However, a targeted positioning of the contact point is not possible.

Ein wesentlicher Vorteil des erfindungsgemäßen Skis besteht deshalb in einer verschiebbaren Stütze, die zwischen dem Ski und der Spannvorrichtung angebracht ist. Durch das Verschieben der Stütze wird es ermöglicht, die Position des Kontaktpunktes des Skis mit dem Untergrund genau anzupassen, da durch die Position der Stütze ein zusätzlicher Kraftübertragungspunkt zwischen Ski und Spannvorrichtung bewirkt wird und somit die Skispitze bei einer Spannungserhöhung um diesen Kraftübertragungspunkt herum nach oben geschwenkt wird.A significant advantage of the ski according to the invention therefore consists in a displaceable support which is mounted between the ski and the tensioning device. By moving the support, it is possible to adjust the position of the contact point of the ski with the ground exactly because the position of the support an additional force transmission point between the ski and tensioning device is effected and thus pivoted the ski tip at a voltage increase around this power transmission point around becomes.

Indem der Kraftübertragungspunkt in seiner Position geändert wird, wird also auch der Drehpunkt für die vordere Spitze geändert, wobei dieser Drehpunkt letztlich dem Kontaktpunkt entspricht, dessen Position damit präzise einstellbar ist. Damit ist dann ein Ski den Randbedingungen wie beispielsweise Schneebeschaffenheit, Gewicht, Statur des Skifahrers, Pistenart, Geländeformation etc., gezielt anzupassen. Zusätzlich kann der Ski durch das Verschieben der Stütze entlang seiner Längsachse den Fahrgewohnheiten und Fahrfähigkeiten des Skifahrers angepasst werden. Er kann die Drehfreudigkeit des Skis durch die exakte Positionierung der Stütze und damit des Kontaktpunktes gezielt beeinflussen.By changing the force transmission point in position, so also the fulcrum for the front tip is changed, this fulcrum ultimately corresponds to the contact point, the position of which is precisely adjustable. This is then a ski the boundary conditions such as snow conditions, weight, stature of the skier, type of slope, terrain, etc., specifically adapted. In addition, by moving the support along its longitudinal axis, the ski can be adapted to the skier's driving habits and driving skills. It can specifically influence the ability of the ski to spin through the exact positioning of the support and thus of the contact point.

Der Ski ist vorzugsweise derart ausgestaltet, dass die Stütze auch während der Benutzung des Skis entlang der Längsachse des Skis verschiebbar ist. Dies ermöglicht es, die Eigenschaften des Skis vor Ort gezielt den Umgebungsbedingungen anzupassen, welche beispielsweise durch verschiedene Schneebeschaffenheiten oder Witterungsbedingungen variieren können.The ski is preferably designed such that the support is also displaceable during the use of the ski along the longitudinal axis of the ski. This makes it possible to specifically adapt the characteristics of the ski on site to the environmental conditions, which can vary, for example, due to different snow conditions or weather conditions.

Die Spannvorrichtung ist im Bereich der Skibindung mit den in Fahrtrichtung des Skis vorne an der Skibindung angeordneten zu dieser gehörenden Vorderbacken koppelbar. Dies führt zu einer konstruktiv einfachen und kostengünstigen Ausgestaltung der Spannvorrichtung.The tensioning device can be coupled in the region of the ski binding with the front jaws arranged at the front of the ski binding in the direction of travel of the ski. This leads to a structurally simple and cost-effective design of the clamping device.

Da bei der Montage der erfindungsgemäßen Vorrichtung in diesem Bereich keine zusätzlichen Bauteile erforderlich sind, vereinfacht sich hierdurch die Montage. Hinsichtlich der Materialbeanspruchung werden so im Skimaterial auch weniger Spannungsspitzen erzeugt, die durch das Anbringen zusätzlicher Bauteile auftreten würden.Since no additional components are required in the assembly of the device according to the invention in this area, thereby simplifying the assembly. In terms of material stress, so less in the ski material Generates voltage spikes that would occur by attaching additional components.

Vorzugsweise ist die Spannvorrichtung aus einem metallischen Werkstoff ausgebildet. Hierfür eignet sich bevorzugt Edelstahl, da dieser Wertstoff eine hohe Stabilität und - je nach Zusammensetzung - gegebenenfalls nichtrostende Eigenschaften aufweist.Preferably, the clamping device is formed of a metallic material. For this purpose, preferably stainless steel, as this valuable material has a high stability and - depending on the composition - optionally stainless properties.

Wesentlich für die Materialwahl der Spannvorrichtung ist, dass die Spannvorrichtung eine ausreichende Härte aufweist, so dass sie sich nicht nachhaltig plastisch verformt.Essential for the choice of material of the clamping device is that the clamping device has a sufficient hardness, so that they do not deformed permanently plastic.

Abgesehen davon können kostengünstige Materialien verwendet werden.Apart from that, inexpensive materials can be used.

Die Spannvorrichtung ist als Seil ausgebildet. Dies erlaubt eine konstruktiv einfache unaufwändige Ausgestaltung. Eine Ausgestaltung in Seilform bietet den Vorzug einer einfachen Handhabung und die Vorspannung eines Seils ist auch einfach zu regulieren.The tensioning device is designed as a rope. This allows a structurally simple, inexpensive configuration. An embodiment in rope form has the advantage of easy handling and the bias of a rope is also easy to regulate.

Das Seil der Spannvorrichtung ist vorteilhafterweise entweder aus Kunststoff oder aus Edelstahl ausgebildet. Falls das Seil aus einem Kunststoff besteht, wird durch die Materialwahl eine kostengünstige Ausgestaltung erzielt. Üblicherweise verfügen Kunststoffe dabei zudem über gute Dämpfungseigenschaften, was für das Fahrverhalten eines entsprechenden ausgerüsteten Skis von Vorteil ist.The rope of the clamping device is advantageously formed either of plastic or stainless steel. If the rope is made of a plastic, a cost-effective design is achieved by the choice of material. Usually plastics also have good damping properties, which is advantageous for the handling of a corresponding equipped ski.

Edelstahl als Werkstoff für das Seil der Spannvorrichtung zu verwenden bietet den Vorteil, dass eine hohe Stabilität gewährleistet ist. Rostfreier Edelstahl hat dabei den besonderen Vorteil, dass die Spannvorrichtung hochwertig ausgebildet ist und vor Rostbildung geschützt wird.Using stainless steel as a material for the rope of the tensioning device offers the advantage that a high stability is ensured. Stainless steel has the particular advantage that the clamping device is of high quality and is protected against rust formation.

Die Bezeichnung "Ski" ist nicht nur auf Skier im herkömmlichen Sinne wie beispielsweise Carvingski oder dergleichen beschränkt, sondern umfasst ebenfalls Snowboards.The term "ski" is not limited to skis in the conventional sense such as carving skis or the like, but also includes snowboards.

Weitere Vorteile und Merkmale der vorliegenden Erfindung ergeben sich aus der folgenden Beschreibung eines Ausführungsbeispiels. Dabei zeigt: Figur 1: eine schematische Darstellung des erfindungsgemäßen Skis, umfassend eine Skibindung und eine Spannvorrichtung.Further advantages and features of the present invention will become apparent from the following description of an embodiment. 1 shows a schematic representation of the ski according to the invention, comprising a ski binding and a tensioning device.

Figur 1 zeigt anhand einer schematischen Darstellung einen erfindungsgemäßen Ski 1, umfassend eine Skibindung 2, die an der Oberfläche des Skis 3 angeordnet ist, sowie eine Spannvorrichtung 4, bestehend aus einem Spannseil 5 und einer Stütze 6.Figure 1 shows a schematic representation of a ski 1 according to the invention, comprising a ski binding 2, which is arranged on the surface of the ski 3, and a tensioning device 4, consisting of a tensioning cable 5 and a support. 6

Der Verlauf des Skis 1 ist in der gewählten Darstellung nur schematisch ausgebildet. Tatsächlich weist der Ski 1 einen im Wesentlichen W-förmigen Verlauf auf. Ein Kontaktpunkt 8 befindet sich in einem in Fahrtrichtung des Skis 1 hinteren Endbereich des Skis 1, jedoch nicht an dessen äußersten Kante. Ein weiterer Kontaktpunkt 8 befindet sich in einem Bereich in einen - in Fahrtrichtung des Skis - vorderen Ende des Skis 1. Die Position dieses vorderen Kontaktpunktes 8 soll mithilfe des erfindungsgemäßen Skis 1 eingestellt werden. Der Bereich ausgehend von dem vorderen Kontaktpunkt 8 des Skis 1 bis zum vorderen Ende des Skis 1 wird als Skispitze 9 oder auch als "Schaufel" bezeichnet. Diese Skispitze 9 ist von Untergrund angehoben und verläuft in einem nach oben gezeigten Bogen.The course of the ski 1 is formed only schematically in the selected representation. In fact, the ski 1 has a substantially W-shaped course. A contact point 8 is located in a rear end region of the ski 1 in the direction of travel of the ski 1, but not at its outermost edge. Another contact point 8 is located in an area in a - in the direction of travel of the ski - the front end of the ski 1. The position of this front contact point 8 is to be adjusted by means of the ski 1 according to the invention. The area starting from the front contact point 8 of the ski 1 to the front end of the ski 1 is referred to as ski tip 9 or as a "shovel". This ski tip 9 is raised from the ground and runs in an upward bow.

Der Bereich zwischen den beiden Kontaktpunkten 8 ist nach oben gewölbt und verläuft bogenförmig. In diesem Bereich, vorzugsweise in dessen Mitte, ist die Skibindung 2 angeordnet.The area between the two contact points 8 is curved upward and extends arcuately. In this area, preferably in the middle, the ski binding 2 is arranged.

Die Stütze 6 ist vertikal ausgerichtet und ist vorteilhafterweise quaderförmig ausgebildet. Ihre vertikalen Abmessungen sind im Vergleich zu ihren horizontalen Abmessungen groß, so dass sie auch als "schlank" bezeichnet werden kann. Die Stütze 6 ist zwischen der Oberfläche des Skis 3 und dem Spannseil 5 angeordnet. Sie ist entlang der Längsachse L des Skis 1 in beide Richtungen innerhalb des Verstellbereichs 7 verschiebbar. Je nach Position der Stütze 6 wird die Position des Kontaktpunktes 8 variiert.The support 6 is vertically aligned and is advantageously formed cuboid. Their vertical dimensions are large compared to their horizontal dimensions, so they can also be called "slim". The support 6 is arranged between the surface of the ski 3 and the tensioning cable 5. It is within the longitudinal axis L of the ski 1 in both directions within the adjustment 7 slidably. Depending on the position of the support 6, the position of the contact point 8 is varied.

Durch die Positionierung der Stütze 6 entsteht ein zusätzlicher Kraftübertragungspunkt zwischen dem Ski 1 und der Spannvorrichtung 4. Bei einer Erhöhung der Spannung wird die Skispitze 9 um diesen Kraftübertragungspunkt nach oben geschwenkt. Hierdurch wird der Drehpunkt für die Skispitze 9 geändert. Der beschriebene Drehpunkt entspricht genau genommen dem vorderen Kontaktpunkt 8, welcher somit durch die exakte Positionierung der Stütze 6 präzise einstellbar ist.The positioning of the support 6 creates an additional force transmission point between the ski 1 and the tensioning device 4. When the tension is increased, the ski tip 9 is pivoted upwards about this force transmission point. As a result, the pivot point for the ski tip 9 is changed. The pivot described corresponds exactly to the front contact point 8, which is thus precisely adjustable by the exact positioning of the support 6.

Die Skispitze 9 ändert ihre Position in Richtung der Pfeile M1 bzw. M2. Bei einer Aufbiegung der Skispitze 9 in Richtung der Pfeilspitze M1 wird der Kontaktpunkt 8 eigentlich in Richtung auf die Skibindung 2 verschoben, hierdurch erhöht sich die Drehfreudigkeit bzw. Wendigkeit des Skis 1. Wird durch ein Nachlassen der Spannung in der Spannvorrichtung die Skispitze in Richtung M2 verlagert, verbessern sich hingegen die Geradeauslaufeigenschaften des Skis, da der vordere Kontaktpunkt des Skis von der Skibindung 2 wegverlagert wird.The ski tip 9 changes its position in the direction of the arrows M1 and M2. In a bending of the tip of the ski 9 in the direction of the arrowhead M1, the contact point 8 is actually displaced in the direction of the ski binding 2, thereby increasing the rotational ability or maneuverability of the ski 1. Is by a decrease in the tension in the tensioning device, the ski tip in the direction of M2 In contrast, the straight-running characteristics of the ski improve as the front contact point of the ski is shifted away from the ski binding 2.

Durch die Stütze 6 wird jetzt bewirkt, dass sich der Kontaktpunkt nicht nur aufgrund der an der Spitze des Skis aufgebrachten Kräfte wie beschrieben verlagert, sondern die Position des Kontaktpunktes ist durch die Position der Stütze auf dem Ski konkret festgelegt. Damit wird auch verhindert, dass der Kontaktpunkt durch unterschiedliches Einfedern des Skis im Betrieb sich entlang des Skis undefiniert verschiebt. Die Fahreigenschaften des Skis sind somit auch belastungsunabhängig.By the support 6 is now causes the contact point not only due to the forces applied to the top of the ski as described moves, but the position of the contact point is determined by the position of the support on the ski concretely. This also prevents the contact point from shifting in an undefined manner along the ski as a result of different compression of the ski during operation. The driving characteristics of the ski are therefore also load-independent.

Die Skibindung 2 und die Spannvorrichtung 4 sind miteinander gekoppelt. Hierdurch müssen keine separaten Befestigungen am Ski vorgesehen werden und Spannungsspitzen, die durch solche Befestigungen im Ski verursacht werden könnten, werden sicher vermieden.The ski binding 2 and the tensioning device 4 are coupled together. As a result, no separate fasteners must be provided on the ski and spikes that could be caused by such fasteners in the ski are safely avoided.
