Abstract

The apparatus (1) has a flat upper supporting part (12) arranged opposite to a narrow and tapered lower ski part (11). Width of the upper supporting part and distance from the upper supporting part to the lower ski part are synchronized with each other. A connecting line of outer edges of the lower ski part and the upper supporting part forms an angle to a running surface of the lower part, where the angle ranges between 30 and 60 degrees. A rear half of the lower ski part is hingedly connected with a front part, where an upper side of the lower ski part is provided with adhesive coating.

Description

Beschreibung description

[0001 ] Gegenstand der vorliegenden Erfindung ist ein Schneesportgerät, welches sowohl für Tiefschnee als auch für harte Pisten optimal geeignet ist. The present invention is a snow sports equipment, which is optimally suitable for deep snow as well as for hard slopes.

[0002] Auf harten Skipisten haben relativ schmale und stark taillierte Skis das beste Fahrverhalten, während für Tiefschnee breite und nur wenig taillierte Skis besser geeignet sind. Dass der schmale Ski im Tiefschnee stärker einsinkt und das Fahren dadurch erschwert ist ebenso plausibel wie die Tatsache, dass der breite Ski auf der harten Piste viel schwieriger und nur mit grossem Kraftaufwand aufgekantet werden kann, so dass ein sauberes Traversenfahren und Schwingen nahezu unmöglich ist. On hard ski slopes have relatively narrow and heavily waisted skis the best handling, while for deep snow wide and only slightly tailored skis are better suited. The fact that the narrow ski sinks deeper in deep snow and makes it difficult to drive is just as plausible as the fact that the wide ski on the hard runway can be much more difficult and can only be folded up with great effort, so that a clean crossbeam and swinging is almost impossible.

[0003] Das Ziel der vorliegenden Erfindung besteht darin, beide Skitypen so zu vereinen, dass bei allen Schnee- und Pistenverhältnissen ein optimales Fahren und Schwingen möglich ist. The aim of the present invention is to combine the two types of skis so that optimal snowing and snow conditions optimum driving and swinging is possible.

[0004] Erfindungsgemäss wird diese Aufgabe dadurch gelöst, dass das Schneesportgerät dergestalt doppelstöckig ausgebildet ist, dass sich unten der für das Fahren auf der Piste bestimmt, schmale und taillierte Bereich befindet, während in einem Abstand davon, auf einer höheren Ebene, der Tiefschneebereich vorgesehen ist. According to the invention, this object is achieved in that the snow sports device is designed such a double-storey that determines the bottom of the intended for driving on the slope, narrow and waisted area, while provided at a distance thereof, at a higher level, the deep snow area is.

[0005] Eine sehr einfache Ausführungsform des erfindungsgemässen Schneesportgerätes besteht darin, auf einem normalen Pistenski an mindestens je einer Stelle vor und hinter der Bindung Distanzteile anzubringen, aufweichen eine sich über die ganze Skilänge erstreckende Platte angebracht wird, die deutlich breiter ist als der darunter liegende Pistenski, jedoch nicht so breit, dass die Seitenränder der Platte beim Schwingen auf der Piste und der hierfür entstehenden Schrägstellung der Skis störend wirkt. Die erwähnte Platte, sozusagen das obere Deck, soll also lediglich im Tiefschnee dadurch wirksam werden, dass sie die Tragfläche vergrössert und dadurch ein tieferes Einsinken des Skis verhütet. Die Höhe der Tiefschnee-Platte über dem Pistenteil muss in Abstimmung mit ihrer Breite so gewählt werden, dass die Platte im Tiefschnee möglichst früh zum Tragen kommt und das Einsinken verhindert, andererseits aber das Kurven- und Traversenfahren auf harter Piste problemlos gewährleistet ist. A very simple embodiment of the inventive snow sports equipment is to install on a normal ski slope at least one point before and behind the bond spacers, softening over the entire ski length extending plate is mounted, which is significantly wider than the underlying Piste skis, but not so wide that the side edges of the plate when swinging on the slope and the resulting skewing of the skis is disturbing. The above-mentioned plate, so to speak the upper deck, should therefore only be effective in deep snow by enlarging the bearing surface and thereby preventing a deeper sinking in of the ski. The height of the deep snow plate above the runner part must be selected in accordance with their width so that the plate in deep snow comes to fruition as early as possible and prevents sinking, but on the other hand, the cornering and Traversenfahren on hard piste is easily guaranteed.

[0006] Um das Gewicht und die Herstellkosten möglichst tief zu halten, wird eine serienmässige Ausführungsform vorzugsweise so ausgelegt sein, dass die obere Tragplatte in den darunter liegenden Pistenteil integriert ist, beispielsweise durch Verwendung eines speziell ausgebildeten Aluminiumprofiles. In order to keep the weight and the manufacturing costs as low as possible, a standard embodiment is preferably designed so that the upper support plate is integrated into the underlying run part, for example by using a specially trained aluminum profile.

[0007] Es wird auch an eine Ausführungsform des erfindungsgemässen Schneesportgerätes gedacht, welches sowohl zum Fahren wie auch zum Steigen verwendet werden kann. Dabei ist das untere Deck, d.h. der Pistenteil, im mittleren Bereich zweigeteilt und nur die vordere Hälfte des Pistenteils ist mit dem oberen Deck fest verbunden, während die hintere Hälfte des Pistenteils scharnierartig mit dem vorderen derart verbunden ist, dass sie um 180 Grad vorn der Abfahrtsposition nach vorne in die Steigposition geschwenkt werden kann. Weil die hintere Hälfte auf ihrer oberen Seite mit einem Haftbelag, z.B. einem Steigfell bekannter Art versehen ist, verhindert dieser Haftbelag in der Steigstellung das Rückwärtsrutschen, während dieselbe hintere Hälfte in der um 180 Grad nach hinten geklappten Position deshalb die Abfahrt ermöglicht, weil auf ihrer Unterseite ein Gleitbelag bekannter Art vorgesehen ist. Geeignete Arretiermechanismen bekannter Art ermöglichen das einfache Verriegeln und Entriegeln in der Abfahrtsstellung einerseits und in der Steigstellung andererseits. It is also intended to an embodiment of the inventive snow sports equipment, which can be used both for driving and for climbing. Where the lower deck, i. the runner part, split in the middle area and only the front half of the runner part is fixedly connected to the upper deck, while the rear half of the runner part is hinged to the front so as to be pivoted 180 degrees forward from the downhill running position to the climbing position can be. Because the back half is covered on its upper side with an adhesive coating, e.g. a climbing skin of known type is provided, this adhesive coating in the climbing position prevents the backward slide, while the same rear half in the 180 degrees backward folded position therefore allows the departure, because on its underside a sliding coating of known type is provided. Suitable locking mechanisms known type allow easy locking and unlocking in the downhill position on the one hand and in the climbing position on the other.

[0008] Von Bedeutung könnte ferner eine Anwendung dieses Funktionsprinzips an einem neuartigen Schneeschuh oder Kurzski sein, welcher zum Gehen, Steigen und Fahren geeignet ist. Of importance could also be an application of this principle of operation on a novel snowshoe or short ski, which is suitable for walking, climbing and driving.

[0009] Schliesslich wird noch an eine Ausführungsform gedacht, bei welcher die obere Tragplatte nur im Skibindungsbereich vorgesehen ist und einerseits die hiervor beschriebene Auftriebsfunktion im Tiefschnee erfüllt, andererseits aber auch dazu dienen kann, auf harter Piste Stürze zu verhindern, welche durch das Berühren des Hanges mit der Aussenseite des Skischuhs in dessen breitestem Bereich entstehen können, d.h. die berüchtigten Innenschuhstürze. Die obere Tragplatte wirkt dann als zweite Kante bei extremer Schräglage (Fig. 3 und 4). Finally, it is still thought of an embodiment in which the upper support plate is provided only in ski binding area and on the one hand fulfills the above-described buoyancy function in deep snow, but on the other hand can also serve to prevent falls on hard slope, which by touching the Hang with the outside of the ski boot can occur in its widest range, ie the infamous liner crashes. The upper support plate then acts as a second edge in extreme oblique position (Figures 3 and 4).
