Definitions

  • This invention relates to a ski with independent current generation, provided with integrated electric and electronic devices to the safety binders and the boots.
  • All safety devices, or boot binders, are of a mechanical type, whilst only the boots are provided in some cases with electric means which only consist of internal electric resistance heaters.
  • a consequent primary object is to provide skis with appropriate means of generating current controlled for a proper and advantageous operation.
  • Still another object is to provide a ski having both means of generating electric current and means of storing and utilizing that same current.
  • Still another object is to provide the ski with both electronic control means and service means as well as electric and/or electronic safety means.
  • a not least object is to provide a ski having devices adapted to allow a safer and more comfortable use thereof.
  • a ski characterized in that it comprises:
  • the upper surface is covered with a plurality of photovoltaic cells 2, which are suitably arranged in parallel strips 3 expediently arranged transversely to the ski length, and which may be of any suitable type, such as for example, photovoltaic cells of the "Philips" BPX 47/A or BPY 40-30 type.
  • strips of photovoltaic cells 3 may be expediently mounted to a layer of relatively elastic material 4 which overlies the structure 5 of the ski.
  • a transparent layer 6 preferably made of a plastics resistant to shock and abrasion, such as for example, polycarbonate material or a synthetic resin.
  • That plastics may be glued or cast over the ski structure so as to form a single body with it incorporating also all the various electric wires or printed conductors which flow into the solar cells.
  • Each of said groups 7,8 and 9 flow singly by means of electric wires into a control circuit 10 which has electronic devices adapted to verify the electric tension existing across each of the groups 7,8 and 9 to then effect either their putting in parallel or their putting in series or both such conditions by the sum of groups such that the voltage which appears at the output 11 is anyhow higher than the minimum charging voltage for the series of storage batteries 12.
  • the solar cells have electric characteristics which are a function of both the illumination they receive and the operating temperature.
  • said storage batteries 12 are arranged in a container 13 attached preferably in a removable manner at a rearward position with respect to the heel piece 14 of the ski binding.
  • an external recharging unit 15 which supplies the storage battery 12 with an external current source composed for example of the normal civil mains.
  • FIG. 4 there are diagrammatically illustrated three utilizations for the electric energy produced by the solar cells and/or stored in the storage batteries 12.
  • the electric current is sent to an electric resistance 17 placed below the insole of a ski boot 18 so as to heat the skier's foot.
  • the boot 18 will be provided of course with electric contacts adapted to cooperate with those provided in the heel piece of the ski binding 14.
  • a second embodiment evisages that both the heel piece indicated at 19 and the toe piece indicated at 20 where there is locked the ski boot 21 have one or more effort sensors respectively 22 and 23 adapted to sense the stress situations to which the boot is subjected in use.
  • the signals produced by said sensors are sent to a control and processing unit 24 on which there may be set some maximum admissible loads without damage for the skier.
  • actuator means connected to an electric power circuit 25 which utilized again current from the storage batteries 12 provide for opening the safety bindings with release of the boot.
  • the bindings shall have to be provided, for example with electro-mechanical means which, once released, release the mechanical devices which hold the boot locked.
  • the entire footwear and not only its rear or forward part may be controlled as a function of the efforts to which it is subjected thus making it possible to determine opening of the bindings and releasing of the boot in conditions of extreme safety for the skier.
  • control unit there may be also provided means of comparing actual loads to set data, provided with actuation delay, to prevent, for example, release of the skies by impulsive efforts of very short duration which anyhow could be absorbed without damage by the skier.
  • the binding opens instead surely even for lower efforts when that value is maintained for a time period deemed dangerous.
  • a device for controlling and measuring the speed of the skis with respect to the snow composed for example of a frequency emitter 27 cooperating with a receive 28 which by exploiting the Doppler effect, allows measuring by a suitable processing unit 29 of the frequency variation and therefore the relative velocity between the ski 26 and the ground which is displayed on a display 30.
  • a memory capable of processing the speed parameters and of displaying successively on the display either the peak speed in a certain period or the average speed over the same period.
  • the characteristics of the ski according to the invention which may be simply grouped in characteristics linked to the production and storage of electric energy as well as characteristics linked to the utilization of the same with service functions such as heating the foot and of control referred to the skier's safety and verification of performance.
  • the skis may be provided with means of measuring both the peak and instantaneous and average speed which may be memorized and successively displayed.
