Definitions

  • the invention relates to a lower end device of a sports stick, this device comprising in particular a mouthpiece and a basket. It also relates to a mouthpiece and a basket as such of such a lower end device of a sports stick. It also relates to a sports stick, including ski, including such a lower end device. Finally, it also relates to a method of manufacturing a sports stick equipped with such a lower end device.
  • a sports stick can be used for skiing, walking or running. The user uses it both for its stability and also to exert a thrust. Such a stick therefore undergoes high stresses. It includes a lower end, usually a tip, intended to come into contact with the ground, and a washer, intended to come into contact with the snow to control the depression of the stick in a layer of snow: according to the use of the stick , and especially depending on the floor covering, different lower ends may be recommended.
  • a general object of the present invention is therefore to propose an improved architecture of the lower end of a sports stick, which includes the advantages of the solutions of the state of the art described above but does not present all or part of of their disadvantages.
  • the invention is primarily intended to provide an adaptive solution of the lower end of a sports stick for use in various conditions, flexibly.
  • Its second object is to propose a simple, efficient and inexpensive solution.
  • the invention thus relates to a basket for a lower end device of a sports stick, characterized in that it comprises a tube having a through inner opening adapted for attachment to a lower end of a stick of sport and in that it includes an anti-rotational device to ensure its proper orientation around a sports stick.
  • the anti-rotational device may include at least one rib or groove or shoulder at an outer surface of the tube.
  • the basket may be in one-piece form of plastic material.
  • the basket may include a washer asymmetrically or symmetrically arranged around the tube.
  • the washer may have a non-planar surface, at least a portion of its periphery being curved downwards.
  • the tube may have a length of between 1 and 6 cm.
  • the invention also relates to a tip for lower end device of a sports stick intended to cooperate with a basket as described above, characterized in that it comprises an inner surface for housing a rod of a sports stick, a lower zone for the removable or non-removable attachment of a tip, a tubular surface for the removable reception of a basket tube, an anti-rotational device for guarantee the correct orientation of a basket around a sports stick, an upper stop for a basket and a fixing zone for receiving a ring for holding a basket.
  • the invention also relates to a lower end device for a sports stick, characterized in that it comprises a basket as described above removably mounted on a tip as described above, the basket being held by a ring positioned at least partially under the basket and fixed on the endpiece.
  • the length of the basket tube may be greater than or equal to 50% or even 60% of the total length of the nozzle, and / or the contact section between the ring and the basket may be at a height less than or equal to at 40% of the total height of the tip, or even less than or equal to 30% of this total height.
  • the ring may comprise an elastic zone at its contact with the basket.
  • the basket washer may include a downwardly curved surface that at least partially covers the ring.
  • the invention also relates to a sports stick, characterized in that it comprises a lower end device as described above.
  • the invention therefore relates to a sports stick 1 as represented by the figure 1 .
  • This sports stick 1 comprises a metal rod 2 equipped with a handle in its upper part, intended for its grip by a user, and provided with a strap 3. It further comprises a lower end device 5 in its part lower.
  • This lower end device 5 of which an advantageous embodiment is represented by the figure 2 , comprises a tip 10, a basket 20 and a ring 30.
  • the basket 20 is removable and allows adaptation to different practices of the lower end of the sports stick, as will be detailed later.
  • the tip 10 is intended for attachment to the lower end of the rod 2.
  • this attachment is final, that is to say non-removable. It can be implemented by any means, especially by gluing.
  • this attachment thus has no impact on the structure of the lower part of the rod 2, and requires in particular no drilling of the rod, which thus retains its intact mechanical properties.
  • a keying type system is implemented to facilitate this fixing operation of the tip on the end of the rod, for example by a tracking system for putting the tip in good position, in particular to ensure its proper orientation relative to the hand strap of the stick.
  • a tip 10 is particularly represented by the Figures 3 to 5 . It comprises a generally tubular shape, including in particular a cylindrical inner opening 11 accessible from above, provided with ribs 12 longitudinal. When it is attached to a rod 2, the rod 2 is inserted into the inner opening 11 until it reaches a lower stop 13, which is particularly visible in the sectional view of the figure 8 .
  • the longitudinal ribs 12 participate in maintaining the final fixing of the tip 10 on the rod 2 of the stick and reinforce, including a space for accommodating an adhesive between the two surfaces to be fixed.
  • the inner opening 11 is slightly conical, its section decreasing downwardly to ensure a stronger and stronger pressure during the insertion of the rod 2 to the final position.
  • the tip 10 comprises a longitudinal rib 14 on its outer surface, intended to cooperate with a groove 24 corresponding to a basket 20, as will be detailed later.
  • the tip 10 comprises an area of larger diameter 15 in its upper part, forming a stop 16 for a basket 20. It further comprises a threaded portion 17 in its lower part, for receiving a retaining ring 30.
  • it advantageously comprises a tip 18 at its lower end, possibly removable, intended to sink into the ground when using the stick.
  • the tip 18 is in a very strong material, for example carbide.
  • the axis of the tip 10 corresponds to the axis of the rod 2.
  • the tip 18 is not arranged around this same axis, it is off-axis and has a particular orientation with respect to the entire stick.
  • the tip 10 is formed of rigid plastic material, for example a polyamide, a polyurethane, optionally a fiber-loaded plastic, or metal. It can be in one-piece form. It can be formed by an injection step in a mold. It forms an intermediate element between the rod 2 of the stick and the basket 20, allowing a removable connection with a basket 20, which is described in detail below.
  • the lower end of the rod 2 of the sports stick could include a tip-like shape directly adapted to the receipt of a basket, in which case a separate intermediate tip would not be necessary.
  • the figure 6 represents a view from above of a basket 20 according to one embodiment of the invention, in addition to the perspective view of the figure 2 .
  • This basket 20 comprises a tube 22 forming a cylindrical inner opening 21 extending over the entire height of the basket 20, in a longitudinal direction. This opening is through.
  • This opening comprises a groove 24 of shape corresponding to the rib 14 of the nozzle 10.
  • the inner diameter of this inner opening 21 corresponds to the outer diameter of the tubular central portion of the nozzle 10.
  • the length L 20 of the tube 22 corresponds to likewise to the length L 10 of the tubular central part of the nozzle 10.
  • the tube 22 of the basket 20 is provided for insertion around the tip 10, as will be detailed later.
  • the basket 20 further comprises a washer 25 arranged in its lower part.
  • This washer 25 extends over only a portion of the circumference of the tube 22. It is not symmetrically distributed around the tube 22, but it is asymmetrical.
  • the washer 25 is oriented same side of the stick as the strap 3.
  • the washer 25 is connected to the tube 22 of the basket 20 by at least one reinforcing rib 26 extending longitudinally upwards.
  • the washer 25 according to the embodiment of the figure 6 has a substantially circular shape, in top view, whose center is offset from the axis of the tube 22.
  • the washer 25 is not flat, its peripheral ends are bent downwards. This geometry makes it possible to offer a better attachment of the washer 25 on the ground and / or the snow.
  • the washer could have a circular shape, arranged around the axis of the tip.
  • the basket 20 is intended for mounting on a tip 10 as described above.
  • An assembled configuration is illustrated by the figures 7 and 8 .
  • its tube 22 is inserted from the bottom around the tubular portion of the nozzle 10, until its upper end abuts against the stop 16 of the nozzle 10.
  • the diameter of this abutment 16 corresponds to the outside diameter of the tube 22, so as to obtain a continuous outer surface at the junction between the two elements in their assembled position.
  • the groove 24 of the tube 22 is associated with the rib 14 of the nozzle 10, guiding the positioning of the basket 20 and thus determining its orientation in a unique manner around the tip 10, and more generally around the stick.
  • the groove 24 has dimensions (width and thickness) of the order of a millimeter.
  • the orientation of the basket 20 is such that the washer 25 of the basket 20 extends generally in a direction opposite to the orientation of the tip 18 of the tip 10 , and in the same direction as the wrist strap 3 of the sports stick 1.
  • the orientation of the tip 18 towards the front allows of gain amplitude when planting the stick.
  • the tip sinks into the ground without being impeded by the washer, since the portion of the tube 22 facing forward is free of any washer surface.
  • the washer 25 then prevents the stick from sinking too much, which facilitates its disengagement from the ground.
  • the basket 20 has a relatively simple shape, adapted to its manufacture by a plastic material injection step. It is thus advantageously in one-piece form.
  • the washer and the tube are advantageously formed in one piece, and in a single material, preferably plastic.
  • This material may for example be a polyamide, a polyurethane, or any other plastic material with or without composite fibers.
  • the basket material 20 may be a metallic material.
  • the assembly is finalized by screwing a ring 30 into the threaded portion 17 of the nozzle 10.
  • the ring 30 is in a one-piece form, mainly made of a single plastic material, which may for example be a polyamide , a polyurethane, or any other plastic material with or without composite fibers.
  • the material of the ring 30 may be a metallic material.
  • the ring 30 is inserted through the lower end of the tip 10, so the sports stick. The arrangement is such that the ring 30 thus abuts against the lower surface of the tube 22 of the basket 20, to ensure its longitudinal locking, below, on the tip 10 and more generally on the sports stick.
  • the ring 30 is screwed onto the tip 10 by cooperation of its threaded inner surface 32 with the threaded portion 17 of the tip.
  • the diameter of the ring is such that its outer surface comes in continuity with the tube 22.
  • the ring 30, particularly visible on the figure 10 comprises an elastic element 31, for example of highly deformable material such as an elastomer, in its part upper contacting the basket 20 to dampen any shocks and stresses suffered at the contact with the basket 20, to avoid damaging the latter.
  • an elastomer material may be directly overmolded on the ring 30, to form the elastic member 31: the latter is then directly attached to the ring 30, which is in a monolithic form.
  • the ring 30 is at least partially covered by the washer 25 of the basket, because of its curvature downwards, which thus protects against external aggression and thus inadvertent unscrewing.
  • a portion of the ring 30 can come inside the tube 22 of the basket 20 in its screwed configuration, in a position protected from external aggression.
  • the holding function of the basket 20 could be obtained by any means other than the ring 30 screwed by any means for maintaining the basket 20 between two upper stops 16 and lower.
  • a retaining ring could be fixed in the lower part of the tip, in support (or bottom stop) under the basket 20, by any means other than screwing, clipping for example. This means is however reversible to be able to disassemble and reassemble the basket easily on the tip of the stick.
  • the removable holding member of the basket may be a plugged ring or clipped, or a piece with tabs snapping into recesses made on the tip.
  • the element holding the basket is fixed on the tip from below the tip. It is preferably positioned at least partially under the basket during its maintenance of the basket.
  • the removable holding member of the basket may be a pin or a circlip, or a screw or clipped piece.
  • the holding element of the basket is fixed laterally on the tip. It is preferably positioned at least partially under the basket during its maintenance of the basket.
  • the holding member may comprise a contact with the basket during its maintenance of the basket and an elastic zone at its contact with the basket.
  • the tip includes a fastening area for receiving the holding member.
  • the holding function of the basket is thus implemented by the cooperation of the holding member and the endpiece, which both have complementary shapes for the removable attachment of the holding member on the tip.
  • the basket holding member comprises a lower stop surface, ie a surface supporting the support of the basket when attempting to move the basket downwards, thus blocking the downward movement of the basket. basket on the tip.
  • the basket 20 and the tip 10 could have other forms than those shown.
  • the basket 20 comprises a tube 22 of length L 20 such that it presents a high mechanical resistance.
  • This length preferably corresponds to at least 50% of the total length Lt of the tip 10 (off point 18), or is greater than or equal to 60% of this length.
  • the length L 20 is between 1 and 6 cm.
  • the contact section between the ring 30 and the basket 20, forming a lower holding abutment of the basket 20, is in the lower part of the tip 10, preferably at a height L 30 less than or equal to 40% of the height. total Lt of the tip 10, or even less than or equal to 30%. In the embodiment shown, this height L 30 thus extends to the top of the thread of the threaded portion 17.
  • the basket 20 and the tip 10 may include any other arrangement to ensure and maintain the orientation of the basket 20 relative to the tip 10 or the sports stick 1.
  • This arrangement could have other shapes than a groove / rib pair, which is optional, like any other anti-rotational device.
  • the variants represented on the Figures 11 to 14 show embodiments in which the upper surfaces in contact respectively of the basket 20 and the tip 10, at the abutment 16, are not in a transverse plane, and preferably asymmetric, to thereby form another anti-bonding solution -rotationnelle.
  • the stop 16 of the tip 10 thus forms an asymmetrical shoulder.
  • the upper surface of the basket tube has a non-planar shape forming a shoulder corresponding to the stop 16 of the tip.
  • this surface is curved and continuous, and on the second variant of the figure 14 it is discontinuous, forms steps. Any other geometry is possible, curved, straight, triangular, etc. In these variants, the elements are simplified and the set gains in strength and reduces wear.
  • the sports stick 1 according to the embodiment can be modified by the simple change of a basket.
  • this basket has a very simple shape, it is inexpensive.
  • the correct alignment between the tip and the stick is done directly in the factory, which facilitates the rapid use of the stick by the user, who does not have to worry about the orientation of the tip towards the before, opposite the wrist strap.
  • the basket is easy to assemble and disassemble.
  • the forces transmitted by the ground contact are directly transmitted on the rod 2 of the stick, via the end piece 10, relatively independently of the basket 20. The latter undergoes only the possible secondary supports, for example on the snow, and therefore does not support too much effort.
  • FIGs 9a to 9c illustrate as examples of different configurations of the same sports stick, on which different baskets 20 were mounted on the same end 10. These baskets are alternatives to the basket described above, in particular represented by the figure 7 .
  • three distinct baskets are provided, represented respectively by the Figures 7, 9a and 9b , which are differentiated from each other by the overall surface and the shape of their washer 25.
  • These baskets are provided for use of the sports stick for skiing, for respectively less and less hard snow.
  • baskets with large washers are intended to be used for fresh snow but also very wet snow, and baskets with washers of smaller diameters are intended for harder snow.
  • FIG. 9c illustrates a particular fourth basket, which does not include a washer.
  • This basket 20 is reduced to its tube 22, and is particularly suitable for walking, or practice skiing on wheels or roller skiing, especially on a snow-covered path. All separate baskets include an identical tube 22.
  • the invention thus also relates to a sports stick equipped with a series of separate baskets, preferably at least three or four, to provide sufficient possibilities for modifications.
