Definitions
- the invention relates to an accessory for skis intended to connect the two spatulas of a pair of skis to facilitate their guidance, comprising a connecting member articulated on two elements intended to be fixed to the front parts of the skis.
- the ski accessory according to the invention remedies this drawback and also allows better guidance of the skis in all their positions, so that its use can also be useful to skiers wishing to improve their control of the skis in the execution of the parallel turns.
- the accessory allows movement of the skis relatively independent of each other so as to make their relative movement possible in oblique or longitudinal directions.
- the ski accessory according to the invention is characterized in that the connecting member is constituted by an elastic blade, the ends of which are intended to be connected to said elements by an articulation, this articulation comprising a solid finger of an element, this finger being engaged in a hole provided in the blade, the elasticity of the blade allowing the skier to vary the orientation of the support surface of one ski relative to that of the other , by twisting and / or bending the blade.
- the connecting member is constituted by an elastic blade, the ends of which are intended to be connected to said elements by an articulation, this articulation comprising a solid finger of an element, this finger being engaged in a hole provided in the blade, the elasticity of the blade allowing the skier to vary the orientation of the support surface of one ski relative to that of the other , by twisting and / or bending the blade.
- Figure 1 shows the first embodiment
- Figures 2a, 2b and 2c show the connecting member according to a variant of the embodiment of the accessory shown in Figure 1.
- Figures 3a, 3b, 3c and 3d show the possibilities of relative movement between the skis with the accessory which comprises an elastically flexible connecting member.
- FIGS 4a and 4b show an alternative embodiment of an attachment element of the accessory according to the invention.
- FIGS 5a, 5b, 5c and 6a show other alternative embodiments.
- the ski accessory shown in FIG. 1 comprises a flexible bar 1 fixed to the spatulas 2 of a pair of skis by two rigid elements 3 or made of an elastically flexible material, for example rubber, made integral with the skis by a screw or another way.
- elastically flexible material is meant here a material which, once deformed, resumes its initial shape and which is endowed with a certain mechanical resistance.
- the bar 1 has four openings 4 which can each be engaged on the head 5 of one of the elements 3 to allow adjustment of the spacing between the two connected skis.
- the elasticity of the bar 1 and of the elements 3 makes possible the relative inclination of the two skis.
- the bar 1 can include any number of holes, in particular two holes.
- the variable spacing of the spatulas can also be obtained by a flexible bar as illustrated in FIGS. 2a, 2b and 2c.
- the bar 1 is in two parts 6 and 7, each part having an opening 8 for receiving the head of an element not shown, secured to a ski tip.
- Parts 6 and 7 also have a longitudinal slot 9 crossed by a screw 10, respectively 11.
- the screw 10 engages in a bore provided for this purpose in part 7 of the bar 1, while the screw 11 is for its part screwed to part 6 of this bar.
- These two parts 6, 7 are partially superimposed and urged towards each other by a spring 12 connecting the two screws 10 and 11. An effort of the skier's feet against the action of this spring 12 allows a slight separation of the two skis, by relative sliding of the parts 6 and 7, which return to their initial position when the effort ceases.
- Figures 3a to 3d show various possibilities of displacement relative to each other authorized by the embodiment according to Figure 1. Thanks to the different degrees of torsion to which the blade 1 can be subjected (Figure 3c) vary the relative orientation of the skis to guide them in an oblique ( Figure 3a) or parallel ( Figure 3b) position. The elasticity of the blade 1 ensures a relative variation in the spacing of the skis and it is possible to provide solutions of the kind already described with reference to FIGS. 2a to 2c to allow a wider variation of this spacing.
- the element 15 is made integral with a stirrup 16 provided with a clamping screw 17.
- the stirrup is then fixed to the tip of the ski by tightening the screw 17 (FIG. 4b).
- the accessory is thus easily removed from the skis and this arrangement avoids drilling thereof.
- FIGS. 5 to 5c show an alternative embodiment of a fixing element which consists of a block 18, for example made of synthetic resin, this block having a slot 19, intended to receive one end of an elastic blade 20.
- the block 18 has a threaded bore 21 allowing it to be fixed to the tip of a ski by means of an appropriate screw, all so that the plane of the slot 19 is substantially parallel to the surface of the tip of the ski.
- This block 18 also has a blade 22, sufficiently thin to play the role of a leaf spring which pushes a finger 23 movable longitudinally to make it cross the slot 19 perpendicular to its plane. Under the action of the blade 22, this finger 23 can penetrate a hole in the elastic blade 20 and retain the latter in an articulated manner on the block 18.
- the blade 22 has a recess 24, allowing the user to act with the tip of his stick on this blade 22 to release the stud 23 which thus leaves the hole of the blade and thus allows the latter to be removed to release the spatulas if desired.
- FIGS. 6a to 6d show another embodiment in which the fastening element comprises a stud 25, having a head 26, on which a flexible blade 27 is engaged by pressure, thanks to its elasticity.
- the fastening element comprises a stud 25, having a head 26, on which a flexible blade 27 is engaged by pressure, thanks to its elasticity.
- FIG. 6a it can be seen that any torsional force of the flexible blade 27 relative to the stud 25 gives rise to a self-tightening effect or shear force exerted under the head 26 of the stud 25, which is reflected by greater retention of the blade on the nipple.
- This stud 25 also has a threaded bore 21 for fixing it to the ski. It is surrounded by a sleeve 28, pushed in the direction of the ski by a spring 29 arranged inside this sleeve and around the stud 25.
- a fork-shaped lever 30 is fixed under the stud by an elastic part 31, while that the two teeth 32 of the fork are placed under the sleeve 28.
- the teeth 32 of the fork raise the sleeve 28 which, in turn, pushes the blade elastic 27 upwards, thus freeing it from the head 26 of the stud 25, as seen in FIG. 6d.
- the connecting member has a point of articulation on each of the fastening elements, it is possible to advance a ski relative to the other and vice versa, which allows among other things to walk, although the step length is obviously limited by the connecting member.
- the flexibility of the accessory whether it is due to the presence of the elastomer pads as in FIG. 1 and / or to the flexibility of the connecting blade, also makes it possible to rest on the inner edges for snowplow turns, only on an inside edge and an outside edge for parallel turns. This elasticity and / or the joints also allow the skier to lift a ski relative to the other, the spatulas of course remaining linked to each other.
- the shape of the fastening elements can be any other than that shown and the ski connecting member can be held on the fixing elements by a mechanical obstacle of the nut or pin type, or even by pinching of the member. like a snap.
- the connecting member could have a ball or the like at one of its ends and a housing at its other end, the fastening elements on the skis obviously being shaped correspondingly.
- the ski accessory allows better guidance of the skis, while ensuring their relative independence. For training in better control of parallel guidance, provision may be made for the installation of an additional similar accessory on the heels of the skis.

Abstract
Description
L'invention se rapporte à un accessoire pour skis destiné à relier les deux spatules d'une paire de skis pour faciliter leur guidage, comprenant un organe de liaison articulé sur deux éléments destinés à être fixés aux parties avant des skis.The invention relates to an accessory for skis intended to connect the two spatulas of a pair of skis to facilitate their guidance, comprising a connecting member articulated on two elements intended to be fixed to the front parts of the skis.
On connaît déjà des accessoires de ce type visant essentiellement à faciliter l'exécution du chasse-neige par un skieur débutant. Ainsi le brevet US 3.703.299 prévoit de relier les spatules d'une paire de ski au moyen d'une sangle souple, ce qui évite de trop écarter les pointes, mais n'empêche pas de les croiser avec pour corollaire un risque de chute pouvant être dangereuse.Accessories of this type are already known which essentially aim to facilitate the execution of the snow plow by a beginner skier. Thus, US Pat. No. 3,703,299 provides for connecting the tips of a pair of skis by means of a flexible strap, which avoids spreading the tips too far, but does not prevent them from being crossed with the corollary of a risk of falling. can be dangerous.
L'accessoire pour skis selon l'invention remédie à cet inconvénient et permet de surcroît un meilleur guidage des skis dans toutes leurs positions, de sorte que son usage peut également être utile à des skieurs voulant perfectionner leur contrôle des skis dans l'exécution des virages parallèles. L'accessoire permet un mouvement des skis relativement indépendant l'un de l'autre de façon à rendre possible leur déplacement relatif dans des directions obliques ou longitudinales. A cet effet, l'accessoire pour skis selon l'invention est caractérisé en ce que l'organe de liaison est constitué par une lame élastique, dont les extrémités sont destinées à être reliées auxdits éléments par une articulation, cette articulation comprenant un doigt solidaire d'un élément, ce doigt étant engagé dans un trou prévu dans la lame, l'élasticité de la lame permettant au skieur de faire varier l'orientation de la surface d'appui d'un ski par rapport à celle de l'autre, par torsion et/ou flexion de la lame.The ski accessory according to the invention remedies this drawback and also allows better guidance of the skis in all their positions, so that its use can also be useful to skiers wishing to improve their control of the skis in the execution of the parallel turns. The accessory allows movement of the skis relatively independent of each other so as to make their relative movement possible in oblique or longitudinal directions. To this end, the ski accessory according to the invention is characterized in that the connecting member is constituted by an elastic blade, the ends of which are intended to be connected to said elements by an articulation, this articulation comprising a solid finger of an element, this finger being engaged in a hole provided in the blade, the elasticity of the blade allowing the skier to vary the orientation of the support surface of one ski relative to that of the other , by twisting and / or bending the blade.
Les dessins annexés représentent, schématiquement et à titre d'exemple, une forme d'exécution et des variantes de l'objet de l'invention.The accompanying drawings show, schematically and by way of example, an embodiment and variants of the subject of the invention.
La figure 1 montre la première forme d'exécution.Figure 1 shows the first embodiment.
Les figures 2a, 2b et 2c montrent l'organe de liaison selon une variante de la forme d'exécution de l'accessoire représenté à la figure 1.Figures 2a, 2b and 2c show the connecting member according to a variant of the embodiment of the accessory shown in Figure 1.
Les figures 3a, 3b, 3c et 3d montrent les possibilités de déplacement relatif entre les skis avec l'accessoire qui comprend un organe de liaison élastiquement flexible.Figures 3a, 3b, 3c and 3d show the possibilities of relative movement between the skis with the accessory which comprises an elastically flexible connecting member.
Les figures 4a et 4b montrent une variante d'exécution d'un élément de fixation de l'accessoire selon l'invention.Figures 4a and 4b show an alternative embodiment of an attachment element of the accessory according to the invention.
Les figures 5a, 5b, 5c et 6a montrent d'autres variantes d'exécution.Figures 5a, 5b, 5c and 6a show other alternative embodiments.
L'accessoire pour skis représenté à la figure 1 comporte une barre souple 1 fixée aux spatules 2 d'une paire de skis par deux éléments 3 rigides ou en une matière élastiquement flexible, par exemple du caoutchouc, rendus solidaires des skis par une vis ou un autre moyen. Par matière "élastiquement flexible", on entend ici une matière qui, une fois déformée, reprend sa forme initiale et qui est douée d'une certaine résistance mécanique.The ski accessory shown in FIG. 1 comprises a
La barre 1 présente quatre ouvertures 4 susceptibles d'être engagées chacune sur la tête 5 de l'un des éléments 3 pour permettre un réglage de l'écartement entre les deux skis reliés. L'élasticité de la barre 1 et des éléments 3 rend possible l'inclinaison relative des deux skis.The
Il est clair que la barre 1 peut comporter un nombre quelconque de trous, notamment deux trous. Par ailleurs, l'écartement variable des spatules peut également être obtenu par une barre souple telle qu'illustrée aux figures 2a, 2b et 2c. Selon cette variante, la barre 1 est en deux parties 6 et 7, chaque partie présentant une ouverture 8 pour recevoir la tête d'un élément non représenté, solidaire d'une spatule de ski. Les parties 6 et 7 présentent par ailleurs une fente longitudinale 9 traversée par une vis 10, respectivement 11. La vis 10 s'engage dans un alésage prévu a cet effet dans la partie 7 de la barre 1, tandis que la vis 11 est pour sa part vissée à la partie 6 de cette barre. Ces deux parties 6, 7 sont partiellement superposées et sollicitées l'une vers l'autre par un ressort 12 reliant les deux vis 10 et 11. Un effort des pieds du skieur contre l'action de ce ressort 12 permet un léger écartement des deux skis, par coulissement relatif des parties 6 et 7, lesquelles reviennent à leur position initiale lorsque cesse l'effort.It is clear that the
Il y a lieu de remarquer qu'un effet amortisseur du coulissement est obtenu en raison du frottement entre les parties 6 et 7, frottement qui peut être modifié en serrant plus ou moins les vis 10 et 11. Une plaquette de matière différente pourrait être intercalée entre les parties 6 et 7 pour adapter le coefficient de frottement à l'effort désiré.It should be noted that a sliding damping effect is obtained due to the friction between the
Les figures 3a à 3d montrent diverses possibilités de déplacement l'un par rapport à l'autre autorisées par la forme d'exécution selon la figure 1. Grâce aux différents degrés de torsion auxquels peut être soumise la lame 1 (figure 3c) ont peut varier l'orientation relative des skis pour les guider en position oblique (figure 3a) ou parallèle (figure 3b). L'élasticité de la lame 1 assure une variation relative de l'écartement des skis et on peut prévoir des solutions du genre déjà décrit en référence aux figures 2a à 2c pour permettre une variation plus large de cet écartement.Figures 3a to 3d show various possibilities of displacement relative to each other authorized by the embodiment according to Figure 1. Thanks to the different degrees of torsion to which the
Dans la variante d'exécution d'un élément de fixation représentée aux figures 4a et 4b, l'élément 15 est rendu solidaire d'un étrier 16 muni d'une vis de serrage 17. L'étrier est alors fixé à la pointe du ski par serrage de la vis 17 (figure 4b). L'accessoire est ainsi facilement enlevé des skis et cet arrangement évite un perçage de ces derniers.In the alternative embodiment of a fixing element shown in FIGS. 4a and 4b, the
Les figures 5 à 5c montrent une variante d'exécution d'un élément de fixation qui est constitué par un bloc 18, par exemple en résine synthétique, ce bloc présentant une fente 19, destinée à recevoir une extrémité d'une lame élastique 20. Le bloc 18 présente un alésage fileté 21 permettant sa fixation sur la spatule d'un ski au moyen d'une vis appropriée, le tout de façon que le plan de la fente 19 soit sensiblement parallèle à la surface de la spatule du ski. Ce bloc 18 présente encore une lame 22, suffisamment mince pour jouer le rôle d'une lame de ressort qui pousse un doigt 23 déplaçable longitudinalement pour le faire traverser la fente 19 perpendiculairement à son plan. Sous l'action de la lame 22, ce doigt 23 peut pénétrer dans un trou de la lame élastique 20 et retenir cette dernière de façon articulée sur le bloc 18. La lame 22 présente un creusure 24, permettant à l'usager d'agir avec la pointe de son bâton sur cette lame 22 pour libérer le téton 23 qui sort ainsi du trou de la lame et permet ainsi d'enlever cette dernière pour libérer les spatules si on le désire.FIGS. 5 to 5c show an alternative embodiment of a fixing element which consists of a
Les figures 6a à 6d représentent une autre forme d'exécution dans laquelle l'élément de fixation comprend un téton 25, présentant une tête 26, sur laquelle on engage par pression une lame flexible 27, grâce à son élasticite. En se reportant à la figure 6a, on voit que tout effort de torsion de la lame flexible 27 par rapport au téton 25 donne lieu à un effet d'autoserrage ou effort de cisaillement exercé sous la tête 26 du téton 25, ce qui se traduit par une plus grande retenue de la lame sur le téton. Ce téton 25 présente également un alésage fileté 21 pour sa fixation sur le ski. Il est entouré par un manchon 28, poussé en direction du ski par un ressort 29 disposé à l'intérieur de ce manchon et autour du téton 25. Un levier 30 en forme de fourche est fixé sous le téton par une partie élastique 31, tandis que les deux dents 32 de la fourche sont placées sous le manchon 28. Ainsi, en exerçant une pression sur l'extrémité 33 du levier 30, les dents 32 de la fourche soulèvent le manchon 28 qui, à son tour, vient pousser la lame élastique 27 vers le haut, le dégageant ainsi de la tête 26 du téton 25, comme on le voit à la figure 6d.Figures 6a to 6d show another embodiment in which the fastening element comprises a
Grâce au fait que l'organe de liaison présente un point d'articultion sur chacun des éléments de fixation, il est possible d'avancer un ski par rapport à l'autre et inversement, ce qui permet entre autre de marcher, bien que la longueur des pas soit évidemment limitée par l'organe de liaison. En outre, la flexibilité de l'accessoire, qu'elle soit due à la présence des tampons en élastomère comme à la figure 1 et/ou à la flexibilité de la lame de liaison, permet aussi bien de prendre appui sur les carres intérieures pour les virages en chasse-neige, que sur une carre intérieure et une carre extérieure pour les virages parallèles. Cette élasticité et/ou les articulations permettent également au skieur de soulever un ski par rapport à l'autre, les spatules restant bien entendu liées l'une à l'autre.Thanks to the fact that the connecting member has a point of articulation on each of the fastening elements, it is possible to advance a ski relative to the other and vice versa, which allows among other things to walk, although the step length is obviously limited by the connecting member. In addition, the flexibility of the accessory, whether it is due to the presence of the elastomer pads as in FIG. 1 and / or to the flexibility of the connecting blade, also makes it possible to rest on the inner edges for snowplow turns, only on an inside edge and an outside edge for parallel turns. This elasticity and / or the joints also allow the skier to lift a ski relative to the other, the spatulas of course remaining linked to each other.
Il est bien entendu que l'invention ne se limite pas aux formes d'exécution représentées. En particulier, la forme des éléments de fixation peut être tout autre que celle représentée et l'organe de liaison des skis peut être maintenu sur les éléments de fixation par une entrave mécanique du type écrou ou goupille, ou encore par pincement de l'organe à la manière d'un bouton-pression.It is understood that the invention is not limited to the embodiments shown. In particular, the shape of the fastening elements can be any other than that shown and the ski connecting member can be held on the fixing elements by a mechanical obstacle of the nut or pin type, or even by pinching of the member. like a snap.
Selon une variante, l'organe de liaison pourrait présenter une rotule ou analogue à une de ses extrémités et un logement à son autre extrémité, les éléments de fixation sur les skis étant évidemment conformés de façon correspondante.Alternatively, the connecting member could have a ball or the like at one of its ends and a housing at its other end, the fastening elements on the skis obviously being shaped correspondingly.
L'accessoire pour skis permet un meilleur guidage des skis, tout en assurant leur indépendance relative. Pour un entraînement à un meilleur contrôle du guidage parallèle, on peut prévoir l'installation d'un accessoire analogue supplémentaire sur les talons des skis.The ski accessory allows better guidance of the skis, while ensuring their relative independence. For training in better control of parallel guidance, provision may be made for the installation of an additional similar accessory on the heels of the skis.
Il est bien entendu que l'accessoire décrit est intéressant, non seulement pour la pratique du ski sur neige, mais également pour l'exercice du ski nautique.It is understood that the accessory described is interesting, not only for skiing on snow, but also for exercising water skiing.
