Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a ski, such as an alpine ski, a cross-country ski, a monoski or a snowboard. It relates more particularly to an improvement to this type of ski and in particular of its area for mounting the bindings.
  • ski consist of an elongated beam, the front end of which is curved upwards to form a spatula, the rear end also being more slightly to form the heel.
  • the structure generally comprises peripheral protective elements, internal resistance elements to resist the flexural and torsional stresses, and a core. These elements are assembled by gluing or by injection, the assembly generally being carried out hot in a mold having the final shape of the ski, with a front part strongly raised in a tip, a rear part slightly raised in the heel, a central arched part. .
  • the present invention therefore seeks to resolve these drawbacks by proposing a ski whose damping device is integrated into its structure.
  • the ski according to the invention has the form of an elongated beam constituted by a core, a lower reinforcement and an upper reinforcement and comprising in the mounting area of the bindings at least one damping element characterized in that said damping element is arranged on the first upper reinforcement and under a second central upper reinforcement.
  • the second upper reinforcement is covered with a top surface covering layer extending forward and backward to cover beyond the mounting zone the first upper reinforcement.
  • the first upper reinforcement and the second central upper reinforcement consist of layers of composite materials or of metal alloy, while the core is a synthetic foam, wood or honeycomb, and that the surface covering layer is in polyamide or thermoplastic material.
  • the damping element consists of a strip of elastically deformable material, and for example of viscoelastic material.
  • the damping element consists of at least two independent elements, at least one of which has dimensional and / or mechanical and physical characteristics different from the other. For example, it consists of three independent elements.
  • the fitted ski is such that the binding retaining screws are anchored both in the first upper reinforcement and in the second central upper reinforcement.
  • the ski according to the invention makes it possible to satisfy at least three functions: the damping of the structure, a better tolerance of the distribution of pressures and a significant improvement in the suspension of the skier vis-à-vis the shocks received by the ski.
  • the damping elements are positioned at the places where the deformation is maximum, that is to say at the front and at the rear of the mounting area.
  • the goal is to have a damping gradient all along the mounting area with maximum damping at the ends and minimum in the center. In order to dissipate the energy of the damping element, it is sandwiched between two rigid elements thus causing it to shear.
  • Figure 1 is a side view of a first embodiment of a ski according to the invention.
  • Figure 2 is a top view of Figure 1.
  • Figure 3 is a cross section along III-III of Figure 1.
  • Figure 4 is a cross section along IV-IV of Figure 1.
  • Figure 5 is a partial view on a larger scale in a longitudinal section of the central part of the ski and its area for mounting the bindings.
  • Figure 5a shows a detail.
  • FIGS 6 to 11 are views similar to Figure 5 showing alternative embodiments.
  • FIG. 1 represents a ski according to a first embodiment according to the invention.
  • the body of the ski has, in known manner, the shape of an elongated beam having a lower sliding surface (1) and an upper surface (2).
  • the slightly arched central part extends on the one hand to the front by an anterior part (3) raised to form the tip (4) and on the other hand by a posterior part (5) slightly raised to form the heel of the ski .
  • the rear part (5) being relatively short and of low lift, and the front part (3) being longer and much more arched, as is known per se and shown in the figure.
  • the structure of the ski body can be of the sandwich type or of the box type or of any other type.
  • a preferred structure is shown comprising a first rigid upper reinforcement (6) in the form of a shell with "U" section forming a top wall (7) and two side walls (8 and 9), covering a core (10), the assembly being closed at its lower part by a lower element (11) comprising the metal edges (12,13), a sliding layer (14) generally made of polyethylene as well as lower reinforcement elements (15.16).
  • An upper surface layer (17) covers the upper reinforcement to form the decoration.
  • the reinforcing layers (6,15,16) can be of any type such as layers of composite materials such as fiberglass, carbon fiber with epoxy or polyester resin, or a metal alloy.
  • the core (10) can be filled or unloaded foam, wood or aluminum honeycomb.
  • the surface layer providing the decoration can be made of polyamide. or other such as in thermoplastic material. It can be monolayer or made up of several layers.
  • the ski comprises in its mounting area (18) bindings (19,20) a damping element (21).
  • this damping element (21) is arranged in the central part of the ski, at the level of the mounting area (18) of the bindings, on the one hand on the upper reinforcement (6) and more precisely on the upper surface of its upper wall (7) and on the other hand, under a second reinforcement central superior (22). Said damping element is therefore sandwiched between two layers of rigid reinforcement (7,22).
  • the damping element (21) consists of a strip of resilient material advantageously of the viscoelastic type.
  • This strip of thickness between 0.5 to 6 mm can therefore be made of thermosetting or thermoplastic synthetic viscoelastic rubber or filled PVC:
  • This strip located in the central part (18) at the level of the mounting area of the fasteners does not does not extend longitudinally over the entire length of the ski, but only partially and has a length "X" which depends on the length "L” of the ski.
  • the length "X" of the damping element can for example be between 400 and 1000 millimeters.
  • the material used to constitute the damping element can be elastic with a hardness of between 60 and 90 shore A, or a viscoelastic material having a damping value of 0.1 to 0.8 (values for a temperature of 20 ° and a frequency of 15 Hz).
  • the second upper reinforcement (22) is in a technical layer of composite materials such as fiberglass or carbon with epoxy or polyester resin, or a metal sheet such as steel or aluminum. This layer can be monolayer or made up of several layers.
  • This second upper reinforcement disposed on the damping element (21) and integral with the latter by gluing or welding has for example a thickness of between 0.5 and 2 mm.
  • the damping element (21) is also glued to the upper wall (7) of the reinforcement (6).
  • the damping element (21) is arranged on the upper reinforcement layer (7) which extends over the entire length of the ski, the mounting area (18) of the bindings is projecting from in the upper general plane of the ski to form a platform (23) of length "X" and height "h".
  • the surface layer (17) covering the top of the second central upper reinforcement (22) extends forwards and backwards to cover beyond the platform, the first upper reinforcement (6,7 ).
  • the screws (24) intended to retain the fixings are anchored both in the first upper reinforcement (7) and in the second central upper reinforcement (22) covering the damping element (21) as shown on Figure 5a ..
  • the thickness "e" of the strip constituting the damping element is constant, but it could be otherwise, as shown in Figures 6 and 7.
  • the thickness "e" of the damping element (21) is greater at the front (AV) to decrease progressively towards the rear (AR).
  • the variation is opposite and the thickness "e" of the damping element (21) is greater at the rear (AR) to decrease progressively forward (AV).
  • FIG. 8 is a variant according to which the second central upper reinforcement (22) extends forwards (AV) and rearwards (AR) beyond the damping element (21) to be integral with the front and rear by its front (220) and rear (221) ends at the upper wall (7) of the first upper reinforcement (6).
  • FIG. 9 is another variant according to which the lower part of the central part (210) of the damping element (21) comprises a succession of hollow transverse profiles (211). these hollow profiles being intended to give better flexibility to the central part of the damping element.
  • the damping element (21) consisting of a single element in the embodiments described above, can also be constituted by two or three distinct elements ( Figures 10 and 11).
  • the damping element can consist of three independent elements (21a, 21b, 21c) at least one of which is made of a material different from the other two.
  • the front element (21a) can be arranged under the front attachment (19) while the rear element (21c) is arranged under the rear attachment (20), the median element (21b) being in turn, disposed between said front element (21a) and said rear element (21c).
