Definitions

  • the subject of the present invention is a cross-country ski which belongs to the aforementioned type and in which the rib is used not only because of the advantages mentioned above, but also because of the additional effects discovered by the Applicant.
  • the rib of the ski is traversed right through by an axis which is located below the upper face of the ski and which is used for the direct or indirect articulation of a boot comprising over the entire length of its sole a groove complementary to the rib of the ski.
  • the ski rib has in its thickness a transverse sheath, and the sole of the boot has, on either side of its longitudinal groove, two holes coaxial which come into alignment with this sheath and serve, with it, bearings to a removable transverse axis, means being provided for gripping this axis and for immobilizing it relative to the shoe.
  • the ski comprises two cylindrical pins which project on either side of its rib and cooperate with two corresponding housings arranged on either side of the ski.
  • a stirrup is provided between the ski and the boot, the two branches of which extend on either side of the longitudinal rib of the ski and are joined by a crosspiece located above the rib, are articulated on the ski about a transverse axis crossing said rib, the part of the stirrup located above the rib being shaped for the interlocking of a complementary part formed at the front of a shoe, and the stirrup further supporting locking means for immobilizing the front of the shoe on this stirrup.
  • (1) denotes the whole of the cross-country ski, the body of which is constituted by a lower face (2) coated with a sliding sole (3), by lateral edges (4 ) having a very reduced height, by oblique faces (5) and by a flat upper face (6).
  • This hollow body defines a housing containing the core (7) of the ski.
  • Two lugs (8) which are arranged transversely and coaxially with respect to each other are integral with the body of this ski. These pins are intended for the direct and final articulation of the shoe.
  • the sole (10) of the shell (9) has over its entire length a groove (13) whose profile and dimensions correspond to those of the rib which is formed over the entire length of the ski by the oblique faces (5) and by the upper face (6) of this body. Inside the sole (10) are arranged two coaxial housings (14) whose profile and dimensions correspond to those of the two lugs (8) which are integral with the ski.
  • connection and articulation of the boot and the ski are possible.
  • This connection and this articulation are obtained by means of an axis (19) which is in the manner of a cylindrical key which can be introduced from one of the two lateral faces of the sole (16) of the shoe.
  • One of the channels (18), namely that located on the inner side of the sole with respect to its longitudinal central groove (20) can be blind, while the other channel (18) opens right through from the central groove (20) to the other lateral face of the sole, namely preferably its outer face.
  • Means are provided to facilitate the installation and removal of the key pin (19) as well as the correct positioning of this axis when the boot has been put on the ski.
  • These means can consist, for example, of a keying system; and the key pin (19) is advantageously provided, at its free end, with a finger or the like (21) facilitating its handling. Means may be provided so that in the position of use, this finger is retracted inside a notch provided for this purpose in the external lateral face of the sole (16).
  • Figures 4 to 12 show a third embodiment in which the connection and articulation of the boot with the ski are carried out by means of an intermediate piece.
  • This part is a pivoting stirrup (23), formed of two lateral branches (24) joined by a crosspiece (25).
  • the two branches (24) extend on either side of the longitudinal rib (6) of the ski (1) and each have an angled "L" shape, clearly visible in FIGS. 7 to 9.
  • the crosspiece ( 25) extends above the rib (6) of the ski (1).
  • the stirrup (23) is pivotally mounted about an axis (26) transverse to the ski (1), which crosses the rib (6) and is secured to the lower ends of the legs (24) of the stirrup (23) .
  • the pivot axis (26) is mounted to rotate in two symmetrical bearings (22) applied against the inclined side faces (5) of the rib (6). This axis is located at a distance between 3 and 15 mm from the vertical plane passing through the front of the upper of the shoe. It should be noted that in the normal lowered position of the stirrup (as shown in Figures 4 to 8), all this stirrup (23) is behind its pivot axis (26) on the ski (1).
  • the two lateral branches (24) of the stirrup (23) only very slightly exceed the width (L) of the sole (3) of the ski (1), in their lower part, which appears clearly on the figure 5.
  • the upper part of the stirrup (23) is shaped to allow, by a dovetail assembly, the fitting of the front of the shoe (27).
  • the zones close to the upper ends of the two lateral branches (24) of the stirrup (23) have inclined faces (28), symmetrical and facing the rear of the ski (1), as well as two symmetrical facets (29) facing the front of the ski (1) - see in particular Figures 4 and 5.
  • the boot (27) has a special sole (31), under which is formed a longitudinal recess (32) whose profile corresponds to that of the rib (6) of the ski (1), so that the boot (27) s' fits exactly on this rib (6).
  • the sole (31) is extended by a part (33) in the form of a dovetail, with two lateral protuberances (34) - see FIGS. 4 and 6.
  • the projecting part (33) of the shoe (27) is designed to be fitted onto the stirrup (23) by a substantially vertical movement, during which regions of the front edge of the sole (31) of the shoe come into bearing against the two inclined faces (28) of the stirrup, while the two protuberances (34) of the part (33) come to hang in front of the facets (29). During this movement, a wedging effect is obtained thanks to slightly conical shapes for the complementary parts which come to fit into each other.
  • Figures 4, 5 and 7 show the fixation in positioi. open, the lever (30) being moved away from the stirrup (23) and resting, turned towards the front of the ski (1), on the upper face of the rib (6) of the ski.
  • the stirrup (23) can freely pivot with the boot (27) around the axis (26), to a position in which the heel of the boot is strongly lifted out of the ski ( 1), the amplitude of the pivoting being able to be greater than 70 ° - see figure 9.
  • two blocks of elastically compressible material (44, 45) are housed in the passage (42) of oblong section of the insert (41), on either side of the flattened part (43) of the axis (26).
  • the elastic blocks (44, 45) are held by two fixed fingers (46, 47), and pressed against the two opposite faces of the flattened part (43) of the axis.
  • These elastic blocks (44, 45) ensure not only the retention of the stirrup (23) towards the end of its lifting movement, but also the recall of this stirrup (23).
  • These blocks can be made of an elastomer, be perforated and be fixed on the one hand on the axis, and on the other hand, on the outer housing. They can be interchangeable and allow the return torque to be adjusted, depending on their properties and their cut-out.
