    • A63C9/00—Ski bindings

Definitions

  • the invention relates to an interface device between a ski and front and rear binding elements which are intended to retain a boot bearing on the ski.
  • a shoe is retained in abutment on the ski generally by a front binding element and a rear element, which each retain an end piece of the shoe sole.
  • the binding elements are assembled directly on the upper surface of the ski.
  • the boot and the binding elements exert an influence on the flexibility of the ski beam, and on its behavior on snow.
  • the behavior of skiing on snow is also different depending on the type of skiing, slalom, downhill, giant slalom, etc., and depending on the skier's size.
  • the behavior of a ski is assessed in different skiing phases, and in particular in the phases of initiating a turn and driving a ski.
  • an interface device which tends to reduce the influence of the binding elements and of the boot, so that the ski has a regular curve in flexion, as close as possible of its curvature in the naked state.
  • Such a device gives good results, but it does not give a pressure distribution of the ski on the snow which is optimal in the different ski phases, that is to say in the trigger phase and in the driving phase. In addition, the pressure distribution is not progressive as a function of the flexion of the ski.
  • One of the aims of the invention is to provide an interface device between a ski and binding elements, which makes it possible to improve the pressure distribution of the ski on the snow, in particular to improve the behavior of the ski in the different phases of turning and driving.
  • Another object of the invention is to propose an interface device which reacts in an evolutionary manner as a function of the flexion of the ski.
  • Another object of the present invention is to provide an interface device which provides damping of the flexions of the ski in a vertical and longitudinal plane.
  • the interface device is located between a ski and front and rear binding elements which are intended to retain the ends of a boot, the binding elements being located in a central zone of the ski which is called the skate, and each comprising a base by which they are connected to the ski.
  • Figure 1 shows schematically, in side view and in section through different planes, a ski in its skate area, equipped with the interface device and fixing element, according to a first non-limiting implementation of the invention .
  • Figure 2 shows in perspective the device of Figure 1 without the fixing elements.
  • Figure 1 shows the middle part of a ski 1, which is usually called the skate.
  • a boot 2 is retained in abutment on the ski 1 by a front binding element 3 and a rear binding element 4.
  • the front fastening element 3 has a jaw 5 for retaining the front end of the shoe.
  • the jaw 5 is carried by a body 7, which is connected to the ski via a base 8.
  • the base 8 is extended towards the rear by a plate of support 9 on which the shoe sole rests in its front zone.
  • the rear binding element 4 has a jaw 10 for retaining the rear end of the boot, which is carried by a body 11.
  • the body 11 is itself connected to the ski by means of a base 12.
  • the base 12 has in its front part a support plate 13 on which the rear end of the shoe sole rests. In known manner, the body can slide along the base 12, towards the rear against the return force of a spring called a recoil spring.
  • the fastening elements 3 and 4 are connected to the ski 1 via an interface device 14 which will now be described in more detail.
  • the interface device 14 mainly comprises an elongated plate 15 which extends between the binding elements and the ski, in the area of the ski skid.
  • the plate is rigid, it is made of any suitable material, for example aluminum or composite material.
  • the plate 15 is raised relative to the upper surface of the ski over most of its length. In its rear part, it has a lowered end 16 which touches the upper surface of the ski.
  • the plate 15 is assembled to the ski at its end 16 behind the rear binding element 4, by a connecting means which allows free sliding of the end of the plate relative to the upper surface of the ski according to a longitudinal direction.
  • a stop hinders the sliding movement of the plate with respect to the ski beyond a determined amplitude of movement, which corresponds to a determined flexion of the ski.
  • the plate 15 has at its end 16 two oblong holes 17 which are oriented in the longitudinal direction defined by the ski.
  • the holes 17 are crossed by screws 18, which are carried by a cover 19.
  • the cover is preferably equipped with barrels 20 which pass through the oblong holes 17, and which have a height slightly greater than the thickness of the end 16 of the plate, so as to leave a slight play in a vertical direction.
  • an anti-friction plate is located between the end 16 of the plate and the upper surface of the ski, so as to facilitate the sliding movement at this level.
  • the screws 18 and the barrels 20, cooperating with the front edges 17a of the oblong orifices 17 constitute a stop which limits the relative movement of sliding of the plate towards the rear during ski flexions.
  • the screws and barrels 20 are in the central part of the oblong holes.
  • the base 12 of the rear fixing element 4 is integrally mounted on the plate 15, at a mounting area 15b which is arranged for this purpose.
  • a layer of elastically compressible material 22 is interposed between the plate and the upper surface of the ski. This layer extends at least under the base 12 of the rear fixing element 4, and in the example illustrated it extends forward towards the front fixing element. This layer absorbs the vertical stresses which pass between the area of the rear end of the shoe.
  • the material which constitutes the layer 22 has damping characteristics of the viscoelastic type.
  • the plate 15 extends forwards beyond the front fixing element 3.
  • the fixing element 3 is connected to the ski by means of a wedge 21 which is integrally connected skiing, and on which the fastening element 3 is assembled by means of its base 8.
  • the wedge 21 is integrally connected to the ski by any suitable means and for example by screws. It has two main parts, a support part for the base 8 of the front fixing element, and a support and guide part for the plate 15.
  • the support part is constituted by two lateral studs 23 and 24 on which the base 8 of the fixing element rests.
  • the height of the studs 23 and 24 is slightly greater than the thickness of the plate 15 at this level, so as to allow free sliding of the plate between the studs.
  • the length of the studs is sufficient to support both the base 8 of the fastening element, and the support plate 9 on which the shoe rests.
  • the studs 23 and 24 pass through the thickness of the plate at the openings 25 and 26 which have a length greater than the length of the studs.
  • the wedge 21 has a base 28 which provides support for the plate 15 in a vertical downward direction. In addition, the plate is guided laterally between the studs 23 and 24.
  • the support of the front end of the boot on the ski is a direct support.
  • This support is direct for all the stresses that the front end of the boot exerts on the ski, which are oriented downwards, in particular the purely vertical stresses, and the stresses which correspond to a rolling movement of the shoe with respect to skiing. There is thus a good transmission of the steering forces that the boot transmits to the ski.
  • the plate 15 In its front part, the plate 15 is connected to the ski by an elastically deformable connection means in the longitudinal direction which is defined by the ski.
  • the front end 30 of the plate 15 is kept raised relative to the upper surface of the ski. It overhangs a support 31, which is integral with the upper surface of the ski, and which advantageously consists of the front part of the wedge 21.
  • Glue can also be added between the studs 23 and 24.
  • the glue which is used here has the particularity of 'have adhesive qualities, on the one hand, and elastic deformation qualities in particular for a stress which is exerted during shearing.
  • the layer 33 behaves like a damper oriented longitudinally.
  • the material has viscoelastic properties. Good results have been obtained with a layer of such an adhesive, the thickness of which is close to 2 millimeters.
  • a stop hinders the relative movement of the front end of the plate 30 relative to its support 31, for a longitudinal movement oriented towards the rear of the ski.
  • this stop is constituted by the front face 23a, 24a of the studs 23 and 24 which cooperates with the front edge 25a, 26a of the openings 25 and 26.
  • the interface device works in two stages. At first, for a weak ski flexion the rear end of the plate 15 moves rearward relative to the screws 18. If the flexion increases and has a large amplitude, the screws 18 come into abutment on the front 17a of the oblong holes 17, then it is the front of the plate which moves forward with respect to the wedge 21, against the force of resistance which the layer 33 opposes to it. When the bending ceases, the ends of the plate are brought back to their initial position.
  • the interface device exhibits two different behaviors as a function of the flexion of the ski, depending on whether or not the screws 18 are in abutment against the ends 17a of the oblong holes 17.
  • the transfer from one to the other behavior can be made gradual by placing in the oblong holes blocks of elastically compressible material which act as shock absorbers, or by any other suitable means. Also, by the position of the screws 18 or the barrels 20 relative to the end 17a of the oblong holes 17, it is possible to control the amplitude of the ski at which the transition from one to the other behavior takes place. For example, one could use different covers 19, with cannons 20 of oblong shape and of different lengths, or insert shims in the oblongs 17.
  • the boot retains direct support on the ski in a vertical direction downwards at the level of the support plate 9.
  • the plate finds direct support against a stop which is integral with the ski. This stop is constituted at the front by the front face of the studs 23 and 24 and the front edge 25a, 26a of the openings 25, 26, then at the rear by the assembly screws 18, and the front ends 17a of the holes oblongs 17. In deflection, the plate moves in its rear part with respect to the screws 18. On the other hand, the front end of the plate does not stress the shear layer 33 because it is in abutment against the studs 23, 24.
  • the plate 15 has at least one oblong orifice 35 that passes through a shoulder washer 36.
  • a screw 37 secures the shoulder washer 36 relative to the ski. This assembly allows movement of the plate in a longitudinal direction. On the other hand, it prevents the central part from rising relative to the upper surface of the ski and prevents lateral movement of the plate.
