Abstract

An alpine ski has an independent element forming the shovel and tip of the ski, this element being secured to the front end of the ski body which is provided with a slightly upwardly turned transverse edge abutting a shoulder upon a rear part of this element where it is attached to the ski.

Description

L'invention a pour objet un ski du type alpin.The invention relates to a ski of the alpine type.

Les skis de ce type comportent trois zones essentielles: une zone de spatule, une zone centrale et une zone de talon. Considérant la zone de spatule, sa surface va en diminuant vers l'avant pour se terminer par une pointe qui est plus ou moins effilée ou plus ou moins arrondie, mais qui est toujours située très au-dessus de la surface de la neige. La spatule ne contribue donc pas au glissement du ski sur la neige; elle est cependant nécessaire, d'une part, pour permettre au ski de franchir les irrégularités de la surface de la neige et, d'autre part, pour éviter au skieur le croisement de ses deux skis.Skis of this type have three essential zones: a tip zone, a central zone and a heel zone. Considering the spatula area, its surface decreases towards the front and ends with a point which is more or less tapered or more or less rounded, but which is always located very above the surface of the snow. The spatula therefore does not contribute to the sliding of the ski on the snow; it is however necessary, on the one hand, to allow the ski to cross the irregularities of the snow surface and, on the other hand, to prevent the skier from crossing his two skis.

Etant située pour sa plus grande partie au-dessus de la neige, la spatule constitue une masse relativement rigide qui est suspendue et dont l'inertie joue un rôle important dans l'amplitude des vibrations auxquelles la structure du ski est soumise par suite des multiples chocs se produisant lors de l'utilisation du ski.Being located for the most part above the snow, the tip constitutes a relatively rigid mass which is suspended and whose inertia plays an important role in the amplitude of the vibrations to which the structure of the ski is subjected as a result of the multiples shocks occurring when using the ski.

De par sa forme, la spatule d'un ski est en outre dangereuse à l'usage; et de par son agencement et sa forme, la spatule est enfin, dans un ski, la zone dont la fabrication est la plus complexe et la plus fragile, notamment dans les skis modernes qui sont constitués par un empilage de couches de divers matériaux dont la liaison est souvent difficile, particulièrement dans la zone courbe constituée par la spatule.By its shape, the tip of a ski is also dangerous to use; and by its arrangement and its shape, the tip is finally, in a ski, the area whose manufacture is the most complex and the most fragile, in particular in modern skis which are constituted by a stacking of layers of various materials whose bonding is often difficult, particularly in the curved area formed by the spatula.

Il a certes été proposé de fabriquer la spatule indépendamment du corps du ski. Il en est ainsi dans le cas de skis conformes au DE-A-2556841, au US-A-3 066 326 et au FR-A-2 040 352.It has certainly been proposed to manufacture the tip independently of the body of the ski. This is the case in the case of skis conforming to DE-A-2556841, to US-A-3 066 326 and to FR-A-2 040 352.

Le DE-A-2 556 841 prévoit en effet d'incorporer, dans la zone de spatule, un élément de spatule qui est fabriqué indépendamment du corps du ski et peut être constitué en une résine synthétique. Il faut toutefois observer que même si cet élément de spatule est réalisé en une matière flexible, l'ensemble de la spatule se comporte comme une spatule habituelle, car en réalité l'ensemble de la spatule est réalisé par stratification de diverses couches de matériau de part et d'autre de l'élément qui a été préalablement fabriqué de façon indépendante. Une telle spatule de ski est donc aussi difficile à fabriquer et donne lieu aux mêmes vibrations que les spatules traditionnelles.DE-A-2 556 841 indeed plans to incorporate, in the tip region, a tip element which is manufactured independently of the ski body and can be made of a synthetic resin. However, it should be noted that even if this spatula element is made of a flexible material, the whole spatula behaves like a usual spatula, because in reality the whole spatula is produced by laminating various layers of material. on either side of the element which was previously manufactured independently. Such a ski spatula is therefore as difficult to manufacture and gives rise to the same vibrations as traditional spatulas.

Le US-A-3 066 326 prévoit d'associer à un ski en bois une spatule métallique. Le ski et la spatule sont donc fabriqués indépendamment l'un de l'autre. Le but à atteindre étant ici la fabrication d'un ski nautique, il est possible d'associer à un ski plan, sur toute sa longueur, et constitué par du bois, une spatule constituée par un corps creux métallique, rigide et emboîtant l'une des extrémités du ski. Un tel agencement n'est pas applicable à un ski de neige dont la spatule mérite au contraire d'être légère et souple pour réduire les vibrations, et dont la liaison avec le corps du ski doit être faite sans discontinuité et sans ressaut pour faciliter le glissement du ski sur la neige.US-A-3,066,326 plans to associate a metal ski with a wooden ski. The ski and the tip are therefore produced independently of each other. The goal to be achieved here is the manufacture of a water ski, it is possible to associate with a flat ski, over its entire length, and consisting of wood, a spatula formed by a hollow metal body, rigid and fitting the one end of the ski. Such an arrangement is not applicable to a snow ski whose tip deserves on the contrary to be light and flexible to reduce vibrations, and whose connection with the body of the ski must be made without discontinuity and without projection to facilitate the sliding of the ski on the snow.

Le FR-A-2 040 352 prévoit aussi une fabrication indépendante du corps du ski et d'un élément de spatule. Il s'agit bien ici d'un ski de neige dans lequel une continuité rigoureuse est respectée entre le ski et sa spatule; mais le but visé n'est ni d'alléger la spatule pour en réduire les vibrations, ni de simplifier la fabrication du ski, ni de diminuer les conséquences d'une rupture de la spatule, ni d'abaisser les risques de blessure des skieurs par la spatule; le but visé est essentiellement d'améliorer la fixation de l'extrémité avant des deux carres latérales du ski dans la zone de spatule. Ce but est atteint en réalisant le corps du ski et l'élément de spatule indépendamment l'un de l'autre et en prévoyant, dans l'élément de spatule, des moyens d'accrochage des extrémités des deux carres. Cette indépendance du corps du ski et de l'élément de spatule n'est toutefois que passagère. En effet, c'est finalement après mise en place de couches supérieures sur le ski et sur l'élément de spatule que l'ensemble est lié par collage. Une telle spatule de ski est donc aussi lourde, aussi fragile, aussi dangereuse et aussi difficile à fabriquer et à réparer qu'une spatule traditionnelle.FR-A-2 040 352 also provides for independent manufacture of the ski body and of a tip element. This is indeed a snow ski in which rigorous continuity is respected between the ski and its tip; but the aim is not to lighten the tip to reduce vibrations, neither to simplify the manufacture of the ski, nor to reduce the consequences of a break in the tip, nor to reduce the risk of injury to skiers by the spatula; the aim is essentially to improve the fixation of the front end of the two lateral edges of the ski in the tip region. This object is achieved by making the ski body and the tip element independently of one another and by providing, in the tip element, means for hooking the ends of the two edges. This independence of the ski body and the tip element is however only temporary. Indeed, it is finally after the establishment of upper layers on the ski and on the tip element that the assembly is bonded. Such a ski spatula is therefore as heavy, as fragile, as dangerous and as difficult to manufacture and repair as a traditional spatula.

L'invention apporte précisément une solution aux divers problèmes posés par les spatules des skis de neige, à savoir notamment: leur difficulté de réalisation, leur fragilité, leur difficulté de réparation, leur poids assez élevé, les vibrations qui en résultent, et le danger qu'elles entrainent pour les skieurs en raison de leur rigidité.The invention provides precisely a solution to the various problems posed by the tips of snow skis, namely in particular: their difficulty of production, their fragility, their difficulty of repair, their fairly high weight, the vibrations which result therefrom, and the danger that they train for skiers because of their rigidity.

Pour résoudre ces problèmes, l'invention a pour objet un ski alpin, du type comportant en spatule un élément qui est fabriqué indépendamment du corps du ski et se raccorde à une extrémité faiblement arquée de ce corps; et son originalité réside dans le fait que cet élément constitue à lui seul la spatule proprement dite, est fixé de façon amovible à l'extrémité arquée du corps du ski et est réalisé en un matériau souple et élastique.To solve these problems, the subject of the invention is an alpine ski, of the type comprising in spatula an element which is manufactured independently of the body of the ski and is connected to a slightly arched end of this body; and its originality lies in the fact that this element alone constitutes the actual tip, is removably attached to the arched end of the ski body and is made of a flexible and elastic material.

Les propriétés essentielles de cet élément de spatule sont: son indépendance totale par rapport au ski, sa fabrication avantageusement en une seule pièce et sa fixation amovible sur le ski.The essential properties of this tip element are: its total independence from the ski, its advantageously made in one piece and its removable attachment to the ski.

Pour être léger et économique, cet élément est réalisé en une résine synthétique moulée, par exemple matériau élastomère, matière thermoplastique ou thermodurcissable. Il peut être monobloc ou être constitué de plusieurs pièces assemblées de façon fixe ou de façon mobile, ce qui, dans ce dernier cas, permet de règler à volonté la longueur de la spatule et sa hauteur par rapport à la neige. Quant à sa fixation sur le ski, elle peut être faite par tous moyens, notamment vissage, rivetage ....To be light and economical, this element is made of a molded synthetic resin, for example elastomeric material, thermoplastic or thermosetting material. It can be in one piece or be made up of several pieces assembled in a fixed or mobile manner, which, in the latter case, allows the length of the spatula and its height relative to the snow to be adjusted as desired. As for its attachment to the ski, it can be done by any means, in particular screwing, riveting, etc.

Quelle que soit la forme d'exécution adoptée, cet agencement apporte de nombreux avantages parmi lesquels il convient de citer:

  • - une diminution considérable de la masse de la spatule et donc de l'amplitude des vibrations du ski,
  • - une sécurité accrue, d'une part, pour le skieur, car la spatule étant souple risque moins de se planter dans la neige, et, d'autre part, pour les tiers, car la spatule étant souple les dangers de blessure sont diminués,
  • - une simplification importante dans la fabrication des skis, car l'élément indépendant constitué par la spatule est de fabrication très facile,
  • - la possibilité d'apporter une grande variété dans la présentation des skis, car des éléments de spatule ayant des formes, des couleurs et des décors très variés peuvent être montés sur des skis identiques ou différents quant à leur structure et quant à leur présentation,
  • - et en cas de bris de la spatule, la possibilité de la changer très facilement et très rapidement.
Whatever the form of execution adopted, this arrangement brings many advantages among which it is worth mentioning:
  • - a considerable reduction in the mass of the tip and therefore in the amplitude of the vibrations of the ski,
  • - increased safety, on the one hand, for the skier, because the spatula being flexible is less likely to crash in the snow, and, on the other hand, for third, because the spatula being flexible the danger of injury is reduced
  • - a significant simplification in the manufacture of skis, because the independent element constituted by the spatula is very easy to manufacture,
  • - the possibility of bringing a great variety in the presentation of the skis, because spatula elements having very varied shapes, colors and decors can be mounted on identical or different skis as regards their structure and their presentation,
  • - and in case of breakage of the spatula, the possibility of changing it very easily and very quickly.

L'invention sera bien comprise, d'ailleurs, à l'aide de la description qui suit, en référence au dessin schématique annexé dans lequel:

  • Figure 1 est une vue partielle de côté en élévation d'un ski comportant une spatule conforme à l'invention;
  • Figures 2 et 3 sont des vues respectivement en plan par dessus et en coupe longitudinale suivant 3/3 de figure 2 d'une première forme d'exécution de l'élément de spatule entrant dans la constitution de cette spatule;
  • Figures 4, 5 et 6 sont des vues respectivement de côté en élévation et en plan par dessus d'une deuxième forme d'exécution de cet élément de spatule, les figures 5 et 6 montrant la spatule dans deux positions d'utilisation.
The invention will be well understood, moreover, with the aid of the description which follows, with reference to the appended schematic drawing in which:
  • Figure 1 is a partial side view in elevation of a ski comprising a spatula according to the invention;
  • Figures 2 and 3 are views respectively in plan from above and in longitudinal section along 3/3 of Figure 2 of a first embodiment of the spatula element forming part of this spatula;
  • Figures 4, 5 and 6 are side views respectively in elevation and in plan from above of a second embodiment of this spatula element, Figures 5 and 6 showing the spatula in two positions of use.

Dans ce dessin, (1) désigne le corps d'un ski dont la structure peut être quelconque. Ce corps est divisé en une zone centrale (2) et une zone de talon non visible, qui ont les dispositions et les proportions habituelles, et en une zone de spatule (4) qui est particulièrement peu accentuée et ne présente pas la forme et les dimensions d'une spatule habituelle. En effet, cette zone (4) est très courte; elle n'est que très peu arquée dans le sens longitudinal; et son extrémité est constituée par un bord transversal rectiligne (5) situé à une faible hauteur au-dessus de la surface sur laquelle le ski repose par sa semelle. Cette hauteur est de l'ordre de 10 à 25 mm.In this drawing, (1) denotes the body of a ski, the structure of which can be arbitrary. This body is divided into a central zone (2) and a non-visible heel zone, which have the usual arrangements and proportions, and into a spatula zone (4) which is particularly weak and does not have the shape and dimensions of a usual spatula. Indeed, this zone (4) is very short; it is only very slightly arched in the longitudinal direction; and its end is constituted by a rectilinear transverse edge (5) situated at a low height above the surface on which the ski rests by its sole. This height is of the order of 10 to 25 mm.

A cette courte, mais caractéristique, zone de spatule (4) est associé un élément indépendant (6) qui joue réellement le rôle de spatule. Cet élément (6) est constitué en une matière relativement souple.With this short, but characteristic, spatula area (4) is associated an independent element (6) which actually plays the role of spatula. This element (6) is made of a relatively flexible material.

Dans la forme d'exécution représentée aux figures 2 et 3, cet élément (6) est monobloc, est réalisé par moulage et présente une forme longitudinale courbe comme celle d'une spatule de ski. Cet élément comporte une zone arrière (7) de forme rectangulaire et une zone avant (8) de forme générale circulaire raccordée à la précédente par une zone intermédiaire (9) présentant une fenêtre (10) qui allège l'ensemble. Dans sa face inférieure, la zone (7) est munie d'un redent (11 ) qui délimite la surface par laquelle l'élément de spatule (6) prend appui sur la courte zone de spatule (4). Ce redent (11 ) est rectiligne pour venir en appui sur le bord transversal rectiligne (5) de la zone de spatule (4); et les dimensions transversales de la zone arrière (7) de l'élément de spatule (6) sont identiques à celles de la zone correspondante (4) du ski. La fixation de l'élément de spatule (6) sur cette zone (4) est faite par exemple par des vis ou par des rivets.In the embodiment shown in Figures 2 and 3, this element (6) is in one piece, is produced by molding and has a longitudinal curved shape like that of a ski tip. This element comprises a rear zone (7) of rectangular shape and a front zone (8) of generally circular shape connected to the previous one by an intermediate zone (9) having a window (10) which lightens the assembly. In its lower face, the zone (7) is provided with a recess (11) which delimits the surface by which the spatula element (6) bears on the short spatula zone (4). This redent (11) is rectilinear to come to bear on the rectilinear transverse edge (5) of the spatula area (4); and the transverse dimensions of the rear zone (7) of the tip element (6) are identical to those of the corresponding zone (4) of the ski. The attachment of the spatula element (6) on this area (4) is made for example by screws or by rivets.

La fixation de l'élément de spatule (6) sur la zone de spatule (4) du ski permet la réalisation, à l'extrémité avant du ski, d'une véritable spatule, car la face inférieure des zones avant (8) et intermédiaire (9) prolonge de façon rigoureuse la semelle du ski.The attachment of the tip element (6) to the tip area (4) of the ski allows the realization, at the front end of the ski, of a real tip, because the underside of the front areas (8) and intermediate (9) rigorously extends the sole of the ski.

Dans la variante d'exécution représentée aux figures 4 à 6, l'élément de spatule est constitué par deux pièces indépendantes, à savoir:

  • - une embase (13) qui ne nécessite pas d'être réalisée en une matière souple et est destinée à la fixation de l'élément sur la zone de spatule (4) du ski,
  • - et une partie avant (14) qui est réalisée en matière souple et est reliée à l'embase (13) au moyen de deux tiges (15) qui sont montées coulissantes, mais à frottement dur, dans des canaux (16) de l'embase (13) et permettent de régler la position longitudinale de la partie avant (14) par rapport à l'embase (13) et donc la hauteur de la spatule.
In the variant shown in FIGS. 4 to 6, the spatula element consists of two independent parts, namely:
  • - a base (13) which does not need to be made of a flexible material and is intended for fixing the element to the tip region (4) of the ski,
  • - And a front part (14) which is made of flexible material and is connected to the base (13) by means of two rods (15) which are mounted sliding, but with hard friction, in channels (16) of the 'base (13) and adjust the longitudinal position of the front part (14) relative to the base (13) and therefore the height of the spatula.

La figure 5 représente l'élément de spatule dans une position relativement allongée; la figure 6 le représente en position de longueur minimale. Quelle que soit la position, la face inférieure de la partie (14) est toujours située dans le prolongement de la semelle du ski.Figure 5 shows the spatula element in a relatively extended position; Figure 6 shows it in minimum length position. Whatever the position, the underside of the part (14) is always located in the extension of the sole of the ski.
