Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a device making it possible to connect two skis so as in particular to avoid the crossing of the spatulas, while giving them certain degrees of mutual freedom and capable of being quickly and easily fitted or removed on the spatulas, even with skis on.
  • Document FR 79 14681 describes a joining device comprising a connecting rod, each of whose ends is articulated, by means of a ball joint, in a retaining cage, previously fixed on a ski.
  • the first of these lies in the fact that the distance given to the two spatulas is immutable, since it is determined by the length of the connecting rod. Consequently, it is not possible to vary this difference according to the snow conditions (groomed snow or deep snow), or the possibilities of the user (beginner or confirmed skier) or even the ski mode that he wants to practice (ski touring or ski racing). Furthermore, even if provision is made for the possibility of dismantling the connecting rod, this disassembly is impractical and requires significant time, and can not be performed on skis especially since said retaining cages are necessarily threaded on the bent tips of the skis because they can not be placed elsewhere.
  • Document DE 1 945 977 relates to a device comprising two connecting bars mounted side by side in a sliding manner, so as to form a connection of adjustable length, the junction with the skis being carried out using a system with ball joint and cage secured to the end of the skis.
  • This device has the advantage of adjusting the spacing between the tips but, although being removable, cannot in fact be removed or replaced by the skier during his ski session and, in any case, does not can absolutely not be removed on skis.
  • This system has the drawback of not being in practice removable on skis.
  • this system requires the attachment of the device to the internal edge of the skis (col. 3, lines 24-25) in order to allow (FIG. 7) an angle of 90 ° between the skis and the connecting rod, which results in asymmetry of the skis causing wear twice as fast.
  • connection system between the rod and the skis all have, for various reasons, disadvantages in terms of safety, the amplitude of the degrees of freedom authorized, handling and are all fragile and do not resist not to shocks because of the rigid connections between the various organs.
  • the object of the invention is precisely to overcome these various drawbacks by proposing a device for connecting the two skis with a connecting bar of variable length and connected to the spatulas by means suitable for combining, on the one hand, efficiency and safety. of the connection and, on the other hand, the ease and speed of assembly and disassembly, in particular skis on feet, of the device on the tips while preserving the aesthetics of the skis as well as the safety of the skier.
  • the subject of the invention is a device for connecting two skis, easily removable with the skis on, comprising a bar connecting means of variable length, provided at its two ends with means of articulation according to several degrees of freedom , themselves connected to the ski tips, by securing-detaching means constituted by a male part and a female part, integral, one, of said articulation means and, the other, of said spatulas, said parts being lockable-unlockable by interlocking then rotation, of a determined amplitude, about an axis perpendicular to the plane of the spatulas, of the part secured to the above articulation means, characterized in that said articulation means are constituted by a part in the form of a diabolo or the like, made of elastic material, at least one of the ends of which is mounted in a swivel, and in that the connecting bar consists of a rod provided with ends of enlarged sliding diameter freely in cylindrical sleeves connected to one end of said diabolo-shaped part.
  • Such a device thanks to the articulation means in the form of an elastic diabolo and to the instantaneous and automatic adaptation of the length of the connecting bar, allows degrees of freedom in all directions, with amplitude, flexibility and quite remarkable comfort.
  • connection also allows the device to withstand, without damage, forces and shocks which, applied to known devices, would inevitably lead to their rupture.
  • the device shown in Figures 1 to 3 comprises a connecting bar 1 whose ends 2 of enlarged diameter (Figure 2), in the form of pistons, can freely slide in two cylindrical sleeves 3 each extended laterally and at their lower part by a part 4 in which a ferrule 5 freely pivots whose axis 6 is perpendicular both to the axis of the bar 1 and to the plane of the ski tip 7, at the center of which the device is mounted.
  • Figure 2 in the form of pistons
  • the ferrule 5 is integral with a part 8 in the form of a diabolo, made of elastic material, of the type of parts constituting the feet of the windsurf mast, itself integral with a substantially cubic block 9 (FIG. 6 to 9) itself locked on a plate 10 fixed permanently on the upper face of said spatula 7.
  • the device is of course symmetrical with respect to the vertical median plane parallel to the two skis 7.
  • the diabolo-shaped part 8 is fixed to the ferrule 5 and to the block 9 by any appropriate means such as threaded rods 11 anchored in the part 8.
  • Such an arrangement allows a rotation of the bar 1 by 360 ° around the axis 6 as well as a rotation of a large amplitude, both upwards and downwards, in any vertical plane comprising the axis 6, of the made of the elasticity of the part 8 whose axis coincides with said axis 6.
  • the assembly constituted by the bar 1, the end sleeves 3 and the articulation means 5,8 can be secured or separated from the spatula 7 very easily and very quickly, at will, by providing, between the spatula 7 and said articulation means, securing-decoupling means constituted by the part 9 secured to said articulation means 5,8 and by the part 10 integral with the spatula 7, these two parts carrying mutual interlocking means of the male and female type with rotation locking of the movable part (9) around the axis 6, of a determined amplitude.
  • the fixed part 10 permanently integral with the spatula consists ( Figures 4,5) of a square plate, for example metallic, screwed on the upper face of the spatula and carrying on its upper face a projection 12 of low height, rectangular in shape whose longitudinal axis is parallel to that of the ski.
  • the projection 12 has, in lateral view (FIG. 5,6), a general shape of a dovetail defining two inclined internal flanks 13 whose role will be explained below.
  • the projection 12 is intended to be received in a housing 14 provided for this purpose in the block 9 and opening by an opening 15 of generally rectangular shape formed in the underside of said block 9.
  • the housing 14 is shaped so as to receive said projection 12 and to allow it to rotate, inside its housing, by an angle for example of 45 °, as shown in FIG. 7 where is symbolized, at 16, the axis of the rectangular opening for introducing the projection 12 and, at 17, the axis of the final, locked position, of the projection in the housing 14, this axis 17 being parallel to the axis longitudinal of the spatula 7.
  • the housing 14 has two opposite inclined internal faces 18, in correspondence with the inclined faces 13 of the projection 12.
  • the rotation of the block 9 is very easy and does not require any rotation of the assembly 1 to 4 thanks to the ferrule 5.
  • the cooperating inclined faces or ramps 13 and 18 ensure, by elastic friction, effective retention in the final position, this retention being able to be locked, for example, by a known type end-of-stroke snap-in system.
  • the block 9 can be maneuvered simply by hand, by the squatting skier, who has no need to take off his skis to install or remove the device according to the invention.
  • FIGS. 10 and 11 To further facilitate the operation of the skis at the feet of the device, a special fork-shaped tool shown in FIGS. 10 and 11 can be used.
  • This tool comprises an elongated body 20 provided at one end with two parallel fingers 21 provided on their opposite face with two projections 22 capable of cooperating with two recesses 23 formed on two opposite faces of the blocks 9.
  • These opposite faces preferably parallel to the axis of the skis, comprise, in addition to the recesses 23, recesses 24 for receiving and blocking the fingers 21 of the fork, facilitating the correct positioning and operation of the fork 20,21.
  • the bottom of said recesses 24 has depressions 25 ( Figure 9) at the insertion ends of the fingers 21 to facilitate their insertion.
  • the fork tool 20,21 is of reduced size, light (for example made of plastic) and can be easily carried on oneself, for example using a pin 26 allowing it to be hung in a pocket in the manner of 'pen.
  • the fork tool can have a greater length and have, for example, a telescopic or foldable handle to facilitate its storage.
  • the blocks 9 can also be rotated using the point of one of the ski poles, which point can for example engage in a hole made for this purpose at an appropriate place in said blocks 9 or in an extension of these, this hole being frustoconical and of inclined axis and turned towards the skier to facilitate inserting the end of said stick.
  • the blocks 9 can also have one or more projections or recesses allowing a practical and effective direct manual grip.
  • Figures 12 and 13 illustrate an embodiment in which the part 9 ⁇ , homologous to the part 9 of the embodiment of Figures 1 to 10, has a low height and is provided with a horizontal lateral extension 27 allowing easy manual gripping to rotate the assembly 8-9 ⁇ by 45 ° with respect to the plate 10 ⁇ (counterpart of the plate 10) permanently fixed to the ski tip (not shown).
  • the plate 10 ⁇ has on its upper face (FIG. 13) a protrusion 12 ⁇ in the shape of a cross similar to the protrusion 12 and cooperating with a housing of the type of the housing 14 (FIG. 7) but arranged to receive the protrusion in cross 12 ⁇ , formed on the underside of the part 9 ⁇ .
  • the assembly 1 to 9 When the assembly 1 to 9 is removed, there only remains on the skis the plates 10, 10 ⁇ with their projection 12, 12 ⁇ , the assembly (10.10 ⁇ ; 12, 12 ⁇ ) being of very modest dimensions and making little protrusion, so that it does not harm the aesthetics of the skis, their performance or qualities, or the safety of the skier who does not risk, for example, being injured on contact with said elements in the event of fall and heaving of skis.
  • the plates 10, 10 ⁇ can also be produced in the form of inserts integrated into the mass of the spatulas 7, the upper face of the plates flush with that of the spatulas.
  • the spacing between the two skis 7 is of course automatically adjustable by sliding the parts 2 of the bar in the sleeves 3, this spacing being able to vary by example between 60 and 210 mm.
  • the device of the invention is mounted at the front of the skis between the tip and the binding of the boots.
  • a second, identical device can be mounted at the rear of the binding.
  • the parts 8 are integral with the parts 9.9 ⁇ and the ferrules 5 rotate in the sleeves 3, but one could just as easily reverse the arrangement and provide the parts 8 integral, at their upper end, with sleeves 3 and, at their lower end, a ferrule similar to the ferrule 5 and pivotally mounted in the parts 9, 9 ⁇ .
  • the coupling between the parts 9, 9 ⁇ and 10, 10 ⁇ is of the bayonet type, but other embodiments of this type of connection are of course possible as well as, in general, any type of connection by mutual nesting then locking by relative rotation of the members thus assembled.
  • the various parts of the device of the invention can be made of various suitable materials (plastic, aluminum, rubber, composite materials, etc.).
  • the connecting bar 1 (solid or hollow) can be made of a relatively flexible plastic material also allowing the bar to absorb shock and vibration and give more flexibility to the device.
  • the parts 3,4 are preferably made from two molded half-shells, assembled for example by gluing or screwing along a joint plane coincident with the vertical plane of symmetry of the assembly 1,2,3. Before assembly, of course, the internal elements are mounted on the half-shells, namely the pistons 2 and the ferrules 5.
  • the device according to the invention can be easily placed in the standby position on a single ski, in particular to allow the problem-free use of the ski lifts.
  • one end of the device is detached from one of the skis and secured to the other ski, which is provided at the appropriate place with a second plate 10, 10 ⁇ on the projection 12, 12 ⁇ from which the device is positioned and locked, parallel to the ski.
  • the invention is obviously not limited to the embodiments shown and described above, but on the contrary covers all variants thereof, in particular as regards the nature, shapes and arrangements of the two parts of said means for securing-decoupling the ski with the articulation means carrying the link bar, as well as the nature, shapes and arrangements of the diabolo-shaped parts 8, these may in particular have a shape moving away from that of a diabolo while offering the same possibilities.
  • the diabolo-shaped part 8 can be provided with fins, in the same material, as shown in dashed lines at 28 in FIG. 3.
  • the part 8 thus has, for example, a cylindrical external appearance and resists better against aggressions from the edge of the opposite ski when the device is out of service.
