Definitions
- the present invention relates to a competition ski, more particularly intended for the practice of special slalom.
- the runner has to pass through doors very close to each other at high speed and each demarcated by two pegs of the same color.
- This exercise requires great qualities of dynamism, judgment and responsiveness.
- One of the major difficulties consists in not straddling the internal stake at the turn while printing at the end of the tip of the internal ski, a path passing as close as possible to the stake. Any trajectory error leads irreparably to the fall and elimination of the runner.
- the object of the invention is to remedy this drawback by proposing an asymmetrical tip of new shape and design.
- the ski provided with such a part remains in contact with the snow, creating only a slight lateral displacement without consequence.
- the safety margin for the runner increases further and promotes performance.
- the subject of the invention is a piste ski for the practice of slalom, comprising a load-bearing central downstream part, ending in a front contact line, beyond which extends, in the area of the tip, a raised upstream part to which is added an asymmetrical tip of a spatula which extends it by a central part having the general shape of a horn the end of which is situated on a longitudinal axis offset inwards with respect to the longitudinal axis ski median.
- Tip includes a cantilevered side connecting to the central part and constituting a skirt on the side of the outer edge of the ski and the upper surface of which is intended to come into contact with the stake.
- the skirt is formed in such a way that the normal raised at any point on the upper surface thereof forms a positive, non-zero angle with a plane parallel to the ground when the ski is tilted outwards by a angle between 15 and 45 ° approximately when taking the edge.
- any impact of the skirt on the stake induces a reaction force whose vertical component is directed downwards; which keeps the end of the ski in permanent contact with the snow.
- the invention also relates to the tip deflecting stake of asymmetrical shape and adaptable to a piste ski which comprises a first central part having the general shape of a horn and the end of which is situated on a longitudinal axis offset from the median longitudinal axis of the ski and a second cantilevered lateral part, constituting a skirt connecting to the largest of the curved sides of the first central part.
- FIG. 1 illustrates the front of a left ski of the prior art using a traditional asymmetrical tip.
- the ski (1) comprises a central downstream part (10) constituting the bearing zone and a raised upstream part (11) partly constituting the tip zone (2).
- the upstream part (11) is extended continuously by a tip (3) of asymmetrical shape whose profile is slightly curved upwards.
- the tip includes an upper (30) and lower (31) surface having the general shape of a horn and which are connected to each other by an external edge (33) curved of cord C1 and an internal edge (32) curved of cord C2 smaller than C1.
- the edges (32, 33) meet at the end (34) of the end piece located on an axis (II, II ') which is offset inwards (INT) relative to the median longitudinal axis (I , I ') skiing.
- the advantage of such a construction is that it makes it possible, as shown in FIG. 3, to increase the safety distance by shifting the end (34) of the spatula inwards to favor the passage of the stake ( 24).
- the ski is in external edge grip and is inclined towards the inside of the turn by a certain angle ( ⁇ ) generally between 15 and 45 °.
- the impact takes place at a point (35) located on the outer edge (33) and, more particularly, near the edge lower (330) connecting the outer edge (33) to the lower surface (31) of the end piece, due to the bending of the end piece upwards.
- the force F of the ski is directed towards the outside (EXT or towards the inside of the turn) and down.
- the reaction R therefore induces a vertical component R1 directed upwards and which therefore tends to lift the end of the ski and cause it to lose its grip with the snow. This phenomenon is all the more accentuated, that in dynamic behavior, the stake bends slightly during the passage of the ski and slides along the lower edge (330) creating a ramp effect which progressively takes off the end of the ski.
- FIG. 4 illustrates the front of a ski (left) (1) according to the invention which also comprises a central downstream part (10) constituting the bearing zone and a substantially raised upstream part (11) constituting, at least in part , the spatula (2); the two parts being limited to each other by a contact line (12).
- a tip (3) is attached to the upstream part (11) and extends it.
- the end piece (3) comprises a first central part (4) formed by an upper (40) and lower (41) surface having the general shape of a horn.
- the upper (40) and lower (41) surfaces are connected by an internal edge (32) of curved shape on the inside of the ski and meets at the front by an end (34) located on a longitudinal axis (II, II ') offset towards the inside (INT or outside the turn) with respect to the median longitudinal axis (I, I') of the ski.
- the central part (4) is connected to a second cantilevered side part constituting a skirt and extending the upper (40) and lower (41) surfaces.
- the two parts (4) and (5) can be limited by a more or less sharp upper edge (6), as shown. However, it is in the spirit of the invention to provide for a gradual transition from one part to the other through a substantially rounded and more aesthetic area.
- the skirt (5) is formed in such a way that the normal identified at any point on its upper surface (50) forms a positive angle ( ⁇ ), not zero, with a plane (P) parallel to the ground (S) when the ski is inclined outwards by a certain angle ( ⁇ ) more particularly between 15 and 45 °.
- the point of application (35) of the stake on the tip moves along the upper surface (50) when the ski advances, which imparts a bending of the stake forward but the resultant (R1 ) always stays down.
- the ramp effect thus plays on the upper surface (50) of the skirt (5) to release the end of the ski from the stake while maintaining perfect grip of the edge (7) on the snow.
- the cutting of the side part or skirt (5) can be scalable but it is advantageously possible to provide a greater width towards the front of the end piece then a progressive reduction towards the rear so that the lateral edges of the end piece are connected substantially continuously with the side edges of the ski.
- FIG. 8 illustrates an example of how the end piece (3) is attached to the upstream part (11) of the ski.
- the end of this part is provided with lateral notches (13, 14) and takes position in a housing (36) of a shape complementary to that of the end piece (3) comprising lateral bosses (360, 361).
- the end piece can be made of elastic deformable material such as a flexible plastic material or of elastomer to allow a press fit, for example. To ensure a certain impact resistance, provision may be made for it made of plastic material loaded with short glass fibers or the like.
- Figures 9 and 10 illustrate another exemplary embodiment in which the end of the upstream part (11) is truncated and ends with a transverse edge (15).
- the central part (4) can be produced without housing and its lower surface (41) is fixed by any means such as screwing, gluing or riveting to the upper surface (110) of the upstream part (11) of the ski.
- This particular case has the advantage of being able to lighten the end of the ski by providing an end piece of material with a density less than the average density of the ski, for example.
- FIG. 11 illustrates a variant in which the skirt (5) comprises reinforcing ribs (52) connecting the lower surface (51) of the skirt to the lower surface (41) of the central part (4).
- the tip can be integrated into the structure of the ski during its production, by molding, for example.

Abstract
Description
La présente invention se rapporte à un ski de compétition, plus particulièrement destiné à la pratique du slalom spécial. Dans ce type d'épreuve de compétition, le coureur est amené à franchir à grande vitesse des portes très rapprochées les unes des autres et délimitées chacune par deux piquets de même couleur. Cet exercice réclame de grandes qualités de dynamisme, de jugement et de réactivité. Une des difficultés majeures consiste à ne pas enfourcher le piquet intérieur au virage tout en imprimant à l'extrémité de la spatule du ski interne, une trajectoire passant le plus près possible du piquet. Toute erreur de trajectoire conduit irrémédiablement à la chute et à l'élimination du coureur.The present invention relates to a competition ski, more particularly intended for the practice of special slalom. In this type of competition, the runner has to pass through doors very close to each other at high speed and each demarcated by two pegs of the same color. This exercise requires great qualities of dynamism, judgment and responsiveness. One of the major difficulties consists in not straddling the internal stake at the turn while printing at the end of the tip of the internal ski, a path passing as close as possible to the stake. Any trajectory error leads irreparably to the fall and elimination of the runner.
Afin d'augmenter les chances du coureur pour franchir les portes, il a été prévu de rapporter sur l'extrémité de la spatule du ski ou sur une partie relevée, partiellement ou totalement tronquée, une pièce courbe relevée en forme de corne, présentant une asymétrie qui prolonge le ski et déplace la pointe de la spatule vers l'extérieur du virage. Un tel dispositif est décrit dans le brevet CH 504 214 par exemple. Le brevet FR 2 617 729 propose un perfectionnement consistant même à prévoir que la pièce rapportée se prolonge vers l'avant par une partie en porte-à-faux par rapport à la partie relevée sur laquelle elle est fixée.In order to increase the chances of the runner to cross the doors, it has been planned to attach to the end of the ski tip or on a raised part, partially or totally truncated, a curved piece raised in the shape of a horn, having a asymmetry which prolongs the ski and moves the tip of the tip towards the outside of the turn. Such a device is described in patent CH 504,214 for example. The
Tous les dispositifs de l'art antérieur ont apporté des solutions imparfaites au problème technique posé. L'effet de dissymétrie a permis effectivement de déplacer avantageusement la pointe de la spatule vers l'extérieur du virage et d'augmenter la marge de sécurité en augmentant la distance de la pointe par rapport au piquet. En revanche, un choc de la pièce sur le piquet conduit dans la plupart des cas au soulèvement du ski intérieur au virage conduisant à une perte d'adhérence du ski avec la neige et à une perte des appuis du coureur dans le virage. Le croisement des skis et le déséquilibre du coureur sont les conséquences immédiates et inéluctables de ce type d'erreur.All the devices of the prior art have provided imperfect solutions to the technical problem posed. The asymmetry effect effectively made it possible to advantageously move the tip of the tip towards the outside of the turn and to increase the safety margin by increasing the distance of the tip from the stake. On the other hand, a shock of the part on the stake leads in most cases to the lifting of the interior ski at the turn, leading to a loss of grip of the ski with the snow and to a loss of the rider's support during the turn. Crossing skis and the runner's imbalance are the immediate and inevitable consequences of this type of error.
L'invention a pour but de remédier à cet inconvénient en proposant un embout dissymétrique de forme et de conception nouvelle. Lors d'un choc avec le piquet, le ski muni d'une telle pièce reste en contact avec la neige, ne créant qu'un faible déplacement latéral sans conséquence. Ainsi, la marge de sécurité pour le coureur augmente encore et favorise la réalisation de performances.The object of the invention is to remedy this drawback by proposing an asymmetrical tip of new shape and design. During an impact with the stake, the ski provided with such a part remains in contact with the snow, creating only a slight lateral displacement without consequence. Thus, the safety margin for the runner increases further and promotes performance.
Pour cela, l'invention a pour objet un ski de piste pour la pratique du slalom, comprenant une partie aval centrale portante, se terminant par une ligne de contact avant, au-delà de laquelle se prolonge, dans la zone de la spatule, une partie amont relevée sur laquelle est rapportée un embout de spatule dissymétrique qui la prolonge par une partie centrale ayant la forme générale d'une corne dont l'extrémité est située sur un axe longitudinal décalée vers l'intérieur par rapport à l'axe longitudinal médian du ski. L'embout comprend une partie latérale en porte-à-faux se raccordant à la partie centrale et constituant une jupe du côté du bord externe du ski et dont la surface supérieure est destinée à entrer en contact avec le piquet.For this, the subject of the invention is a piste ski for the practice of slalom, comprising a load-bearing central downstream part, ending in a front contact line, beyond which extends, in the area of the tip, a raised upstream part to which is added an asymmetrical tip of a spatula which extends it by a central part having the general shape of a horn the end of which is situated on a longitudinal axis offset inwards with respect to the longitudinal axis ski median. Tip includes a cantilevered side connecting to the central part and constituting a skirt on the side of the outer edge of the ski and the upper surface of which is intended to come into contact with the stake.
De préférence, la jupe est formée de telle façon que la normale relevée en tout point sur la surface supérieure de celle-ci forme un angle positif et non nul avec un plan parallèle au sol lorsque le ski est incliné vers l'extérieur d'un angle compris entre 15 et 45° environ lors de la prise de carre. Ainsi tout choc de la jupe sur le piquet induit une force de réaction dont la composante verticale est dirigée vers le bas ; ce qui maintient l'extrémité du ski en contact permanent avec la neige.Preferably, the skirt is formed in such a way that the normal raised at any point on the upper surface thereof forms a positive, non-zero angle with a plane parallel to the ground when the ski is tilted outwards by a angle between 15 and 45 ° approximately when taking the edge. Thus, any impact of the skirt on the stake induces a reaction force whose vertical component is directed downwards; which keeps the end of the ski in permanent contact with the snow.
L'invention concerne également l'embout déviateur de piquet de forme dissymétrique et adaptable sur un ski de piste qui comprend une première partie centrale ayant la forme générale d'une corne et dont l'extrémité est située sur un axe longitudinal décalée par rapport à l'axe longitudinal médian du ski et une seconde partie latérale en porte-à-faux, constituant une jupe se raccordant sur le plus grand des côtés incurvés de la première partie centrale.The invention also relates to the tip deflecting stake of asymmetrical shape and adaptable to a piste ski which comprises a first central part having the general shape of a horn and the end of which is situated on a longitudinal axis offset from the median longitudinal axis of the ski and a second cantilevered lateral part, constituting a skirt connecting to the largest of the curved sides of the first central part.

La figure 1 illustre l'avant d'un ski gauche de l'art antérieur utilisant un embout asymétrique traditionnel. Le ski (1) comprend une partie aval centrale (10) constituant la zone portante et une partie amont relevée (11) constituant en partie la zone de spatule (2). La partie amont (11) est prolongée de façon continue par un embout (3) de forme dissymétrique dont le profil est légèrement incurvé vers le haut. L'embout comprend une surface supérieure (30) et inférieure (31) ayant la forme générale d'une corne et qui sont reliées entre elles par un bord externe (33) incurvé de corde C1 et un bord interne (32) incurvé de corde C2 plus petite que C1. Les bords (32, 33) se rejoignent à l'extrémité (34) de l'embout situé sur un axe (II, II') qui est décalé vers l'intérieur (INT) par rapport à l'axe longitudinal médian (I, I') du ski. L'avantage d'une telle construction est qu'elle permet, comme le montre la figure 3, d'augmenter la distance de sécurité en décalant l'extrémité (34) de la spatule vers l'intérieur pour favoriser le passage du piquet (24). Lors du virage, le ski est en prise de carre externe et est incliné vers l'intérieur du virage d'un certain angle (α) compris généralement entre 15 et 45°. Si la trajectoire du ski est telle que l'extrémité avant rencontre le piquet (24), l'impact s'effectue en un point (35) situé sur le bord externe (33) et, plus particulièrement, à proximité de l'arète inférieure (330) reliant le bord externe (33) à la surface inférieure (31) de l'embout, en raison de l'incurvation de l'embout vers le haut. Ainsi, la force F du ski est dirigée vers l'extérieur (EXT ou vers l'intérieur du virage) et vers le bas. La réaction R induit donc une composante verticale R1 dirigée vers le haut et qui a donc tendance à soulever l'extrémité du ski et à lui faire perdre son adhérence avec la neige. Ce phénomène est d'autant plus accentué, qu'en comportement dynamique, le piquet fléchit légèrement lors du passage du ski et glisse le long de l'arète inférieure (330) créant un effet de rampe qui décolle progressivement l'extrémité du ski.Figure 1 illustrates the front of a left ski of the prior art using a traditional asymmetrical tip. The ski (1) comprises a central downstream part (10) constituting the bearing zone and a raised upstream part (11) partly constituting the tip zone (2). The upstream part (11) is extended continuously by a tip (3) of asymmetrical shape whose profile is slightly curved upwards. The tip includes an upper (30) and lower (31) surface having the general shape of a horn and which are connected to each other by an external edge (33) curved of cord C1 and an internal edge (32) curved of cord C2 smaller than C1. The edges (32, 33) meet at the end (34) of the end piece located on an axis (II, II ') which is offset inwards (INT) relative to the median longitudinal axis (I , I ') skiing. The advantage of such a construction is that it makes it possible, as shown in FIG. 3, to increase the safety distance by shifting the end (34) of the spatula inwards to favor the passage of the stake ( 24). During the turn, the ski is in external edge grip and is inclined towards the inside of the turn by a certain angle (α) generally between 15 and 45 °. If the ski trajectory is such that the front end meets the stake (24), the impact takes place at a point (35) located on the outer edge (33) and, more particularly, near the edge lower (330) connecting the outer edge (33) to the lower surface (31) of the end piece, due to the bending of the end piece upwards. Thus, the force F of the ski is directed towards the outside (EXT or towards the inside of the turn) and down. The reaction R therefore induces a vertical component R1 directed upwards and which therefore tends to lift the end of the ski and cause it to lose its grip with the snow. This phenomenon is all the more accentuated, that in dynamic behavior, the stake bends slightly during the passage of the ski and slides along the lower edge (330) creating a ramp effect which progressively takes off the end of the ski.
La figure 4 illustre l'avant d'un ski (gauche) (1) selon l'invention qui comprend également une partie aval centrale (10) constituant la zone portante et une partie amont sensiblement relevée (11) constituant, en partie au moins, la spatule (2); les deux parties étant limitées l'une de l'autre par une ligne de contact (12). Un embout (3) est rapporté sur la partie amont (11) et la prolonge. L'embout (3) comprend une première partie centrale (4) formée d'une surface supérieure (40) et inférieure (41) ayant la forme générale d'une corne. Les surfaces supérieure (40) et inférieure (41) sont reliées par un bord interne (32) de forme incurvée du côté intérieur du ski et se rejoigne à l'avant par une extrémité (34) située sur un axe longitudinal (II, II') décalé vers l'intérieur (INT ou extérieur au virage) par rapport à l'axe longitudinal médian (I, I') du ski. Du côté du bord externe du ski, la partie centrale (4) se raccorde à une seconde partie latérale en porte-à-faux constituant une jupe et prolongeant les surfaces supérieure (40) et inférieure (41). Les deux parties (4) et (5) peuvent être limitées par une arète supérieure (6) plus ou moins nette, comme représentée. Mais, il est dans l'esprit de l'invention, de prévoir une transition progressive d'une partie à l'autre par une zone sensiblement arrondie et plus esthétique.FIG. 4 illustrates the front of a ski (left) (1) according to the invention which also comprises a central downstream part (10) constituting the bearing zone and a substantially raised upstream part (11) constituting, at least in part , the spatula (2); the two parts being limited to each other by a contact line (12). A tip (3) is attached to the upstream part (11) and extends it. The end piece (3) comprises a first central part (4) formed by an upper (40) and lower (41) surface having the general shape of a horn. The upper (40) and lower (41) surfaces are connected by an internal edge (32) of curved shape on the inside of the ski and meets at the front by an end (34) located on a longitudinal axis (II, II ') offset towards the inside (INT or outside the turn) with respect to the median longitudinal axis (I, I') of the ski. On the side of the outer edge of the ski, the central part (4) is connected to a second cantilevered side part constituting a skirt and extending the upper (40) and lower (41) surfaces. The two parts (4) and (5) can be limited by a more or less sharp upper edge (6), as shown. However, it is in the spirit of the invention to provide for a gradual transition from one part to the other through a substantially rounded and more aesthetic area.
Comme le montre plus particulièrement la figure 7, la jupe (5) est formée de telle façon que la normale repérée en tout point sur sa surface supérieure (50) forme un angle (β) positif, non nul, avec un plan (P) parallèle au sol (S) lorsque le ski est incliné vers l'extérieur d'un certain angle (α) plus particulièrement compris entre 15 et 45°. Ainsi, lorsque le piquet (24) entre en contact avec l'embout (3), le point d'impact (35) se situe sur la surface supérieure (50) de la jupe (5). La résultante verticale (R1) de la force de réaction (R) du piquet dont le point d'application est un point d'impact (35) pouvant être situé à un endroit quelconque sur la surface supérieure (50) est dirigée vers le bas, tendant ainsi à plaquer le ski et plus particulièrement la carre externe (7) sur la neige. En comportement dynamique, le point d'application (35) du piquet sur l'embout se déplace le long de la surface supérieure (50) lorsque le ski avance, ce qui imprime une flexion du piquet vers l'avant mais la résultante (R1) reste toujours dirigée vers le bas. L'effet de rampe joue ainsi sur la surface supérieure (50) de la jupe (5) pour dégager du piquet l'extrémité du ski en maintenant une parfaite adhérence de la carre (7) sur la neige.As shown more particularly in FIG. 7, the skirt (5) is formed in such a way that the normal identified at any point on its upper surface (50) forms a positive angle (β), not zero, with a plane (P) parallel to the ground (S) when the ski is inclined outwards by a certain angle (α) more particularly between 15 and 45 °. Thus, when the stake (24) comes into contact with the end piece (3), the point of impact (35) is located on the upper surface (50) of the skirt (5). The vertical result (R1) of the reaction force (R) of the stake whose point of application is an impact point (35) which can be located anywhere on the upper surface (50) is directed downwards , thus tending to flatten the ski and more particularly the outer edge (7) on the snow. In dynamic behavior, the point of application (35) of the stake on the tip moves along the upper surface (50) when the ski advances, which imparts a bending of the stake forward but the resultant (R1 ) always stays down. The ramp effect thus plays on the upper surface (50) of the skirt (5) to release the end of the ski from the stake while maintaining perfect grip of the edge (7) on the snow.
La découpe de la partie latérale ou jupe (5) peut être évolutive mais on peut avantageusement prévoir une largeur plus importante vers l'avant de l'embout puis une diminution progressive vers l'arrière afin que les bords latéraux de l'embout se raccordent de façon sensiblement continue avec les bords latéraux du ski.The cutting of the side part or skirt (5) can be scalable but it is advantageously possible to provide a greater width towards the front of the end piece then a progressive reduction towards the rear so that the lateral edges of the end piece are connected substantially continuously with the side edges of the ski.
La figure 8 illustre un exemple de mode d'accrochage de l'embout (3) sur la partie amont (11) du ski. L'extrémité de cette partie est munie d'encoches latérales (13, 14) et prend position dans un logement (36) de forme complémentaire à celle de l'embout (3) comprenant des bossages latéraux (360, 361).FIG. 8 illustrates an example of how the end piece (3) is attached to the upstream part (11) of the ski. The end of this part is provided with lateral notches (13, 14) and takes position in a housing (36) of a shape complementary to that of the end piece (3) comprising lateral bosses (360, 361).
L'embout peut être réalisé en matériau déformable élastique tel qu'un matériau plastique souple ou en élastomère pour permettre un emmanchement à force, par exemple. Pour assurer une certaine résistance au choc, on peut prévoir de le réaliser en matière plastique chargée de fibres courtes de verre ou autres.The end piece can be made of elastic deformable material such as a flexible plastic material or of elastomer to allow a press fit, for example. To ensure a certain impact resistance, provision may be made for it made of plastic material loaded with short glass fibers or the like.
Les figures 9 et 10 illustrent un autre exemple de réalisation dans lequel l'extrémité de la partie amont (11) est tronquée et se termine par un bord transversal (15). Dans ce cas, la partie centrale (4) peut être réalisée sans logement et sa surface inférieure (41) est fixée par tout moyen tel que vissage, collage ou rivetage à la surface supérieure (110) de la partie amont (11) du ski. Ce cas particulier présente comme avantage de pouvoir alléger l'extrémité du ski en prévoyant un embout en matériau de densité inférieure à la densité moyenne du ski, par exemple.Figures 9 and 10 illustrate another exemplary embodiment in which the end of the upstream part (11) is truncated and ends with a transverse edge (15). In this case, the central part (4) can be produced without housing and its lower surface (41) is fixed by any means such as screwing, gluing or riveting to the upper surface (110) of the upstream part (11) of the ski. . This particular case has the advantage of being able to lighten the end of the ski by providing an end piece of material with a density less than the average density of the ski, for example.
La figure 11 illustre une variante dans laquelle la jupe (5) comprend des nervures de renfort (52) reliant la surface inférieure (51) de la jupe à la surface inférieure (41) de la partie centrale (4).FIG. 11 illustrates a variant in which the skirt (5) comprises reinforcing ribs (52) connecting the lower surface (51) of the skirt to the lower surface (41) of the central part (4).
On peut prévoir enfin que l'embout soit intégré à la structure du ski lors de sa réalisation, par moulage, par exemple.Finally, provision can be made for the tip to be integrated into the structure of the ski during its production, by molding, for example.
Bien entendu, l'invention n'est pas limitée aux exemples de réalisation qui viennent d'être décrits et comprend tous les équivalents.Of course, the invention is not limited to the exemplary embodiments which have just been described and includes all the equivalents.
