Description

SKI COURT ET LARGE , A PROFIL PARTICULIER, MUNI D'UNE PLAQUE DE RETENUE AMOVIBIE la présente invention concerne les dispositifs permettant d'évoluer sur neige vierge ou damée, soit en montée, soit en descente ou à plat, ainsi qu'en traversée. The present invention relates to devices which make it possible to operate on virgin or groomed snow, either uphill, downhill or flat, as well as through.
Les dispositifs actuellement utilisés sont de plusieurs sortes : les raquettes permettent la marche pas à pas, évitant tout glissement, mais limitent l'évolution à des pentes de moins de 18 degrés ; l'apprentissage est facile, mais l'utilisation relativement fastidieuse et leurs possibilités limitées - le ski de fond, ski étroit et long, de largeur inférieure à 5 centimètres et de longueur de 1,80 mètres environ, est utilisable à plat ou sur des pentes limitées en montée et en descente ; le ski de fond est difficile à utiliser en neige non damée, pour laquelle il nécessite un apprentissage long et fastidieux - les skis de descente sont relativement plus larges et moins longs, d'une largeur de 7 centimètres environ et d'une longueur de 1,80 mètres environ pour les skis longs et de 1,50 mètres environ pour les skis compacts, sont adaptés à la descente seulement. Ils nécessitent un apprentissage long et fastidieux, un matériel sophistiqué tel que des chaussures spéciales, et des aptitudes relativement sportives de l'utilisateur. Ils sont utilisables en montée par adaptation sous la semelle du ski d'une peluche amovible anti-recul. les utilisations en montée sont limitées à des pentes inférieures à 25 degrés environ. On constate que chacun des dispositifs connus est précisément adapté à une utilisation particulière, descente, plat ou montée. Tous ces dispositifs présentent des limites d'utilisation qui restreignent leur usage par le plus grand nombre d'utilisateurs sans aptitude physique particulière. A des dates récentes, on a tenté de rendre accessible au plus grand nombre les skis de descente, en diminuant leur longueur et en augmentant leur largeur, proposant ainsi des skis compacts d'une longueur de 1,50 mètres environ et d'une largeur de 8 à 9 centimètres, plus faciles à utiliser. Toutefois on constate que, après une période d'engouement, les utilisateurs ont peu à peu choisi des skis plus longs, plus adaptés à une utilisation sur piste damée. La présente invention a notamment pour objet d'éviter les inconvénients des dispositifs connus en proposant un nouveau type de skis courts et larges, à profil particulier, utilisables pratiquement sans apprentissage,à plat, en montée, en descente ou en traversée. L'invention n'a pas pour objet de permettre les performances des équipements connus, pour chacun dans leur domaine d'application, mais offre une synthèse satisfaisante pour une évolution en toute neige : montée, descente et traversée de pentes jusqu'à 45 degrés ; pas glissés sur plat comme le ski de fond, le profil particulier du ski assurant en outre sans fart ni plaque de retenue une progression sans recul en montée sur des pentes allant jusqu'à 20 degrés ; évolution en descente sur toutes neiges par glissement comme le ski de descente.The devices currently used are of several kinds: snowshoes allow walking step by step, avoiding any slipping, but limit the evolution to slopes of less than 18 degrees; the learning is easy, but the relatively tedious use and their limited possibilities - the cross-country ski, narrow and long ski, of width less than 5 centimeters and length of about 1.80 meters, can be used flat or on limited uphill and downhill slopes; cross-country skiing is difficult to use in ungroomed snow, for which it requires a long and tedious learning process - downhill skis are relatively wider and shorter, with a width of around 7 centimeters and a length of 1 , About 80 meters for long skis and about 1.50 meters for compact skis, are suitable for downhill only. They require long and tedious learning, sophisticated equipment such as special shoes, and relatively sporty skills of the user. They can be used uphill by adaptation under the ski sole of a removable anti-recoil plush. uphill use is limited to slopes less than about 25 degrees. It is found that each of the known devices is precisely adapted to a particular use, descent, flat or climb. All these devices have limits of use which restrict their use by the greatest number of users without any particular physical aptitude. On recent dates, attempts have been made to make downhill skis accessible to as many people as possible, by reducing their length and increasing their width, thus offering compact skis with a length of approximately 1.50 meters and a width 8 to 9 centimeters, easier to use. However, we note that, after a period of enthusiasm, users have gradually chosen longer skis, more suitable for use on groomed slopes. The object of the present invention is in particular to avoid the drawbacks of known devices by proposing a new type of short and wide skis, with a particular profile, usable practically without learning, flat, uphill, downhill or crossing. The invention is not intended to allow the performance of known equipment, for each in their field of application, but offers a satisfactory synthesis for an evolution in any snow: ascent, descent and crossing slopes up to 45 degrees ; not slid on flat like cross-country skiing, the particular profile of the ski also ensuring without wax or retaining plate progression without recoil uphill on slopes up to 20 degrees; downhill evolution on all snow by sliding like downhill skiing.
Des dispositions particulières assurent la stabilité du ski. de la présente invention malgré sa faible longueur, et augmentent sa portance en neige non tassée ; en outre, elles assurent une fonction anti-recul en montée qui permet l'utilisation du ski sans plaque de retenue sur des pentes jusqu'à 20 degrés environ, l'arrière du ski tendant à s'enfoncer dans la neige. Elles permettent également le freinage en descente, sans plaque de retenue, par inclinaison du corps de l'utilisateur vers l'arrière.Special provisions ensure the stability of the ski. of the present invention despite its short length, and increase its bearing capacity in packed snow; in addition, they provide an anti-reverse uphill function which allows the use of the ski without a retaining plate on slopes up to approximately 20 degrees, the rear of the ski tending to sink into the snow. They also allow braking downhill, without a retaining plate, by tilting the user's body backwards.
Pour atteindre ces objets ainsi que d'autres, la présente invention prévoit de réaliser un ski dont la largeur est sensiblement le double de celle d'un ski de descente ou de randonnée, c'est à dire une largeur comprise entre 12 et 15 centimètres ; en outre, la longueur du ski doit être comprise entre cinq et sept fois sa largeur. Ces proportions sont très différentes de celles utilisées pour les skis habituels. Le ski ainsi réalisé, d'une longueur de 80 centimètres environ, est considérablement plus court que tous les skis proposés jusqu'à ce jour, ce qui est contraire à l'évolution actuellement constatée d'allongement des skis et d'abandon progressif des skis compacts.To achieve these and other objects, the present invention provides a ski whose width is substantially double that of a downhill or touring ski, that is to say a width between 12 and 15 centimeters ; in addition, the length of the ski must be between five and seven times its width. These proportions are very different from those used for usual skis. The ski thus produced, with a length of about 80 centimeters, is considerably shorter than all the skis offered to date, which is contrary to the currently observed evolution of elongation of skis and progressive abandonment of compact skis.
De façon connue, le ski selon la présente invention comporte une spatule avant, une zone portante et des fixations. La zone portante est cambrée pour former une surface inférieure concave. Selon une autre caractéristique de l'invention, la surface inférieure de la zone portante comprend une portion avant sensible ment plane définissant un plan de référence ; la portion avant se raccorde vers l'avant avec la spatule et vers l'arrière avec une portion cambrée généralement concave disposée au dessus du plan de référence ; la portion cambrée se raccorde vers l'arrière avec une partie arrière plane descendant en dessous du plan de référence.In known manner, the ski according to the present invention comprises a front tip, a bearing area and bindings. The bearing area is arched to form a concave bottom surface. According to another characteristic of the invention, the lower surface of the bearing zone comprises a sensitive front portion plane plane defining a reference plane; the front portion is connected forwards with the spatula and backwards with a generally concave arched portion disposed above the reference plane; the arched portion is connected rearward with a flat rear part descending below the reference plane.
Selon une autre caractéristique, le ski est relativement raide ; sa raideur est choisie de façon qu'une force de 1200 Newton environ, appliquée perpendiculairement au milieu de sa face supérieure, produise une flexion de 1 à 3 centimètres de la zone centrale, les deux extrémités étant bloquées. Cette raideur est nettement plus grande que celle des skis connus.According to another characteristic, the ski is relatively steep; its stiffness is chosen so that a force of about 1200 Newton, applied perpendicularly to the middle of its upper face, produces a bending of 1 to 3 centimeters from the central area, the two ends being blocked. This stiffness is significantly greater than that of known skis.
Selon une autre caractéristique de l'invention, le dispositif comprend en outre une plaque inférieure amovible, de forme sensiblement rectangulaire, comportant des crampons dépassant de sa face inférieure et des moyens pour la fixer et l'adapter sous la semelle du ski. Sa longueur est sensiblement égale au quart de la longueur du ski, et se fixe en recouvrant le troisième quart arrière de la semelle du ski.According to another characteristic of the invention, the device further comprises a removable lower plate, of substantially rectangular shape, comprising studs protruding from its lower face and means for fixing and adapting it under the sole of the ski. Its length is substantially equal to a quarter of the length of the ski, and is fixed by covering the third rear quarter of the sole of the ski.
D'autres caractéristiques et avantages de la présente invention ressortiront de la description suivante d'un mode de réalisation particulier, faite en relation avec les figures jointes, parmi lesquelles :Other characteristics and advantages of the present invention will emerge from the following description of a particular embodiment, given in conjunction with the attached figures, among which:
- la figure 1 représente une vue de profil du ski selon la présente invention ; - la figure 2 représente une vue en perspective de la plaque de retenue ;- Figure 1 shows a profile view of the ski according to the present invention; - Figure 2 shows a perspective view of the retaining plate;
- la figure 3 représente une vue de dessus du ski avec plaque de retenue ; et- Figure 3 shows a top view of the ski with retaining plate; and
- la figure 4 représente une vue en coupe transversale partielle du ski et de la plaque de retenue.- Figure 4 shows a partial cross-sectional view of the ski and the retaining plate.
Comme le représentent les figures, le ski selon la présente invention comporte une spatule avant 1 , une zone portante 2, et des fixations, non représentées sur les figures, permettant l'adaptation d'une chaussure sur la surface supérieure du ski. La zone portante 2 est cambrée pour former une surface inférieure 3 concave.As shown in the figures, the ski according to the present invention comprises a front tip 1, a carrying zone 2, and bindings, not shown in the figures, allowing the adaptation of a boot on the upper surface of the ski. The bearing zone 2 is arched to form a concave lower surface 3.
La largeur du ski selon la présente invention est sensiblement le double de celle d'un ski de descente ou de randonnée actuel, c'est à dire qu'elle est comprise entre 12 et 15 centimètres. Sa longueur est comprise entre cinq et sept fois sa. largeur. De préférence, on pourra définir un modèle standard de longueur 81 centimètres, largeur 14 centimètres et un modèle junior de longueur 76 centimètres, largeur 13 centimètres, les nombreux essais effectués ont montré que ces proportions réalisent le meilleur compromis d'utilisation en toutes neiges et toutes pentes.The width of the ski according to the present invention is substantially double that of a downhill or touring ski current, that is to say that it is between 12 and 15 centimeters. Its length is between five and seven times its. width. Preferably, we can define a standard model of length 81 centimeters, width 14 centimeters and a junior model of length 76 centimeters, width 13 centimeters, the numerous tests carried out have shown that these proportions achieve the best compromise of use in all snow conditions and all slopes.
La zone portante 2 du ski, ou plus précisément sa surface inférieure, comprend une portion avant 4 sensiblement plane qui définit un plan de référence 6. La portion avant 4 se raccorde vers l'avant avec la spatule 1 , et réalise une surface de bon glissement. La portion avant 4 se raccorde vers l'arrière, par l'intermédiaire d'une zone convexe, avec une portion cambrée 3 généralement concave se développant au dessus du plan de référence 6. La portion cambrée 3 se raccorde vers l'arrière avec une partie arrière 5 plane descendant au dessous du plan de référence.The carrying zone 2 of the ski, or more precisely its lower surface, comprises a substantially flat front portion 4 which defines a reference plane 6. The front portion 4 is connected forward with the spatula 1, and provides a good surface slip. The front portion 4 is connected towards the rear, by means of a convex zone, with a generally concave arched portion 3 developing above the reference plane 6. The arched portion 3 is connected towards the rear with a rear part 5 plane descending below the reference plane.
Lors de l'utilisation, le skieur peut adopter des attitudes plus ou moins penchées en avant ou en arrière. Lors de la montée, une attitude légèrement penchée en arrière favorise la pénétration de la partie arrière 5 dans la neige, évitant le recul. Lors de la descente, une position arrière favorise un certain freinage par pénétration de la partie arrière 5, tandis qu'une position plus avancée favorise le glissement en reportant le poids sur la portion plane 4. De façon préférée, la partie arrière 5 plane de la zone portante 2 forme avec le plan de référence 6 un angle compris entre 3° et δ° en l'absence de déformation, c'est à dire lorsque le ski est à l'état de repos. On a pu constater que ces valeurs réalisent un bon compromis entre là glisse en descente et la fonction antirecul.During use, the skier can adopt more or less leaning forward or backward attitudes. During the ascent, an attitude slightly leaning back favors the penetration of the rear part 5 into the snow, avoiding recoil. During the descent, a rear position favors a certain braking by penetration of the rear part 5, while a more advanced position favors the sliding by transferring the weight to the flat portion 4. Preferably, the flat rear part 5 of the bearing zone 2 forms with the reference plane 6 an angle between 3 ° and δ ° in the absence of deformation, that is to say when the ski is in the rest state. We have seen that these values achieve a good compromise between there sliding downhill and the anti-rollback function.
La portion avant 4 plane de la zone portante 2 a une longueur comprise entre le tiers et la moitié de la longueur totale du ski.The flat front portion 4 of the bearing zone 2 has a length of between one third and half of the total length of the ski.
La raideur du ski est choisie de façon qu'une force de 1200 Newton environ, appliquée perpendiculairement au milieu de sa face supérieure, produise une flexion de 1 à 3 centimètres de la zone centrale, les extrémités étant bloquées. La structure du ski comprend une âme en polyester armé de fibres de verre ou de fibres de carbone, comportant des nervures supérieures longitudinales et transversales 7 représentées en pointillés sur la figure 3. Un couvercle supérieur 8, représenté sur la figure 4, est rapporté et solidarisé à l'âme en polyester 9. La solidarisation peut être effectuée à chaud par thermo-formage, ou par tout autre moyen tel que collage, soudure.The stiffness of the ski is chosen so that a force of approximately 1200 Newton, applied perpendicularly to the middle of its upper face, produces a bending of 1 to 3 centimeters from the central zone, the ends being blocked. The structure of the ski comprises a polyester core reinforced with glass fibers or carbon fibers, comprising longitudinal and transverse upper ribs 7 shown in dotted lines in FIG. 3. An upper cover 8, represented in FIG. 4, is attached and joined to the polyester core 9. The joining can be carried out hot by thermoforming, or by any other means such as bonding, welding.
Le dispositif comprend en outre une plaque inférieure amovible 10 destinée à être rapportée sur la surface inférieure du ski. Cette plaque 10, représentée sur la figure 2, est de forme sensiblement rectangulaire, et comporte des crampons 11 dépassant de sa face inférieure, et des moyens de fixation pour l'adapter et la fixer sous la semelle du ski. Deux pattes de guidage 12 et 13 en crochet sont disposées sur la partie antérieure 14 de la face supérieure de la plaque, et sont conformées pour permettre le passage du ski entre elles et son maintien comme le représentent les figures. La plaque comporte en outre, sur la partie postérieure 16 de sa face supérieure, deux pattes verticales longitudinales 17 et 18 d'écartement légèrement supérieur à la largeur du ski, comme le représente la figure 2. Le dispositif de fixation de la plaque sur le ski comprend en outre deux butées 19 et 20 rapportées sur la surface supérieure du ski, et contre lesquelles viennent s'appuyer les pattes de guidage 12 et 13 comme le représente la figure 3. Le ski comporte en outre deux cornières supérieures 21 et 22 rapportées sur la surface supérieure. Lorsque la plaque est en position, en appui contre les butées 19 et 20, les pattes verticales arrières 17 et 18 de la plaque viennent en regard des cornières 21 et 22. Les pattes 18 et 17, et les cornières 21 et 22 sont munies de trous correspondants 23 et 24, comme le représente la figure 4, pour le passage de tiges d'assemblage 25 et 26 reliées par un élastique 27 passant derrière un pion de tension 28 rapporté sur la surface supérieure de la partie arrière 5 du ski.The device further comprises a removable bottom plate 10 intended to be attached to the bottom surface of the ski. This plate 10, shown in Figure 2, is of substantially rectangular shape, and has studs 11 protruding from its underside, and fixing means for adapting it and fixing it under the sole of the ski. Two hooked guide tabs 12 and 13 are disposed on the front part 14 of the upper face of the plate, and are shaped to allow the ski to pass between them and its maintenance as shown in the figures. The plate further comprises, on the rear part 16 of its upper face, two longitudinal vertical tabs 17 and 18 of spacing slightly greater than the width of the ski, as shown in FIG. 2. The device for fixing the plate to the ski further comprises two stops 19 and 20 attached to the upper surface of the ski, and against which bear the guide tabs 12 and 13 as shown in Figure 3. The ski further comprises two upper angles 21 and 22 reported on the upper surface. When the plate is in position, pressing against the stops 19 and 20, the rear vertical tabs 17 and 18 of the plate come opposite the angles 21 and 22. The tabs 18 and 17, and the angles 21 and 22 are provided with corresponding holes 23 and 24, as shown in FIG. 4, for the passage of assembly rods 25 and 26 connected by an elastic band 27 passing behind a tension pin 28 attached to the upper surface of the rear part 5 of the ski.
L'adaptation de la plaque sur le ski est effectuée de la façon suivante : on glisse la partie avant du ski entre les pattes de guidage 12 et 13 de la plaque, et, lorsque ces pattes sont en appui contre les butées 19 et 20, on plaque la surface supérieure de la plaque contre la surface inférieure du ski, mettant en rapport les trous 23 et 24, on insère les tiges 25 et 26 qui sont recourbées comme le représentent les figures, et on passe l'élastique 27 derrière le pion 28,The adaptation of the plate to the ski is carried out as follows: the front part of the ski is slid between the guide tabs 12 and 13 of the plate, and, when these tabs are in abutment against the stops 19 and 20, the upper surface of the plate is pressed against the lower surface of the ski, bringing together the holes 23 and 24, the rods 25 and 26 are inserted which are bent as shown in the figures, and the elastic 27 is passed behind the pin 28,
La plaque 10 peut être réalisée par tout moyen, et par exemple par découpage et pliage de portions d'une tôle formant plaque.The plate 10 can be produced by any means, and for example by cutting and folding portions of a plate forming a plate.
Les fixations, non représentées sur les figures, peuvent être des fixations de ski de descente, mais de préférence des fixations de randonnée ou de ski de fond avec possibilité de blocage du talon de chaussure sur le ski pour la descente.The bindings, not shown in the figures, can be downhill ski bindings, but preferably touring or cross-country bindings with the possibility of blocking the boot heel on the ski for the descent.
De façon préférée, la plaque 10 a une longueur sensiblement égale au quart de la longueur du ski, et les butées 19, 20 et cornières 21, 22 sont disposées de façon que la plaque se positionne pour recouvrir le troisième quart arrière de la semelle du ski. Da présente invention n'est pas limitée aux modes de réalisation qui ont été explicitement décrits, mais elle en inclut les diverses variantes et généralisations contenues dans le domaine des revendications ci-après. Preferably, the plate 10 has a length substantially equal to a quarter of the length of the ski, and the stops 19, 20 and angles 21, 22 are arranged so that the plate is positioned to cover the third rear quarter of the sole of the ski. The present invention is not limited to the embodiments which have been explicitly described, but it includes the various variants and generalizations thereof contained in the field of claims below.
