Definitions

  • the invention relates to a ski of the alpine type.
  • Skis of this type have three essential zones: a tip zone, a central zone and a heel zone.
  • a tip 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.
  • the tip 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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 jumping to facilitate sliding skiing on the snow.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • the invention relates to an alpine ski, of the type comprising in spatula an element which is manufactured independently of the body of the ski and whose originality lies in the fact that its central zone ends, at the front , by a transverse edge located at the end of a short area which is very slightly arched in the longitudinal direction and to which is removably attached the element which is made of a flexible and elastic material and constitutes in itself the ski tip.
  • this tip element has essential properties: its total independence from the ski, its advantageously made in one piece and its removable attachment to the ski.
  • this element is made of a molded synthetic resin, for example elastomeric material, thermoplastic or thermosetting material. It can be in one piece or consist of several pieces assembled fixedly or movably, 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, including screwing, riveting ...
  • (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.
  • 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.
  • spatula area (4) is associated with an independent element (6) which really plays the role of spatula.
  • This element (6) is made of a relatively flexible material.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
