  • FIG. 1 shows, seen from above a snowboard 1 intended for the practice of sliding on snow or ice.
  • the snowboard 1 is equipped in its central zone with retaining elements 2 and 3 for retaining one next to the other the shoes of a surfer.
  • the snowboard 1 comprises a long, basic structure 4 in the form of a plate, the thickness of which is approximately constant.
  • the basic structure shown is symmetrical with respect to a vertical and longitudinal plane, the trace of which is shown diagrammatically by a longitudinal axis 5 in FIG. 1. This is not limiting, and as will be described later, the basic structure can also have an asymmetrical shape.
  • the front end 4a of the basic structure 4 is raised to form the spatula.
  • the rear end 4b is situated substantially in the same plane as the basic structure. This is not limiting, and the rear end can also be spatulated.
  • the basic structure 4 has two lateral edges 6 and 7. These lateral edges have a curved shape according to what is commonly called a dimension line. The curvature of the dimension lines can be more or less pronounced. This is within the reach of the skilled person. Generally, the minimum width of the basic structure is between the retaining elements 2 and 3, and it is close to the length of a shoe, possibly a little narrower.
  • the snowboard 1 has two retaining elements 2 and 3 which are intended to hold the shoes of the surfer in abutment on the basic structure.
  • These retaining elements are of any suitable type and will not be described in detail.
  • they each have a slender plate fitted with two retaining stirrups which grip the shoe by its front and rear tips. This is known to those skilled in the art.
  • the plates of the retaining elements 2 and 3 define the orientation of the shoes of the surfer relative to the longitudinal axis 5 of the base structure 4. These directions of orientation have been shown diagrammatically at 8 for element 2, and 9 for element 3.
  • the orientation of the retaining elements 2 and 3, that is to say directions 8 and 9 relative to the longitudinal axis 5 is adjustable.

  • the mounting zones correspond to the surface of the basic structure covered by the retaining elements over their entire adjustment range in longitudinal position and in orientation relative to the longitudinal direction 5.
  • the centers 17 and 18 of the mounting zones are 40 to 50 centimeters apart along the direction 5. This however is not limiting. This distance can also be adjustable. Alignment with direction 5 is also not limiting, and the mounting zones could be offset transversely with respect to this direction 5.
  • the basic structure has a traditional construction, in particular a box type structure or a sandwich type structure, or a combination of these two types of construction.
  • the basic structure is deformed in flexion and torsion in the front zone, in the rear zone, and in the central zone, between the retaining elements.
  • the surfer can act on the bending or twisting of the central area. It is known, for example, that a voluntary torsion of the central zone facilitates the initiation of a turn. Also, bending the central area promotes the effect produced by the surfer's back and forth movement to move the support areas of the board on the snow.
  • a voluntary flexion of the central zone before a jump increases the energy of relaxation which is released during the jump.
  • the gliding board has local reinforcement in at least one of the front or rear areas of the basic structure.
  • the reinforcement extends over only part of the surface of the front and / or rear zone, and / or central from the end or the vicinity of the end of the zone, up to the mounting zone of the element of fixing located on the side of the front or rear area, or the vicinity of this mounting area.
  • the geometry, stiffness and location of the reinforcement are determined so as to increase the torsional or bending stiffness of a surface covering the surface of the front and / or rear area up to at least the element mounting area front and / or rear fixing.
  • the gliding board is produced starting from a basic structure of traditional construction, but appreciably more flexible and lighter than a traditional structure.
  • the basic structure defines the geometric shape of the gliding board, that is to say its length, its width, the shape of its dimension lines, if necessary the relief of its gliding sole.
  • the basic structure is then reinforced by a reinforcement.
  • the stiffness, the geometry and the location of the reinforcement are determined as a function of the desired effect, depending on whether one wishes to reinforce the front area and / or the rear area in torsion and / or bending, and / or the area central of the basic structure. In this way, the geometry of the gliding board and its mechanical stiffness characteristics are made more independent than in traditional constructions.
  • the reinforced surface covers at least in part the mounting areas of the fastening elements, so that the surfer can control, and if necessary control from his shoes the action of the reinforcements on bending and / or the twist of the board.
  • the stiffness of the reinforcement is maximum towards the mounting zone situated on the side of the zone, and it decreases towards the end of the zone.
  • the reinforcement has a relatively weak or zero action, so as not to excessively impede the bending and twisting of the board in this zoned.
  • the reinforcement is made of any suitable material.
  • it consists of a sheet of high performance aluminum alloy of the type which is used in the construction of traditional basic structures. It can also be produced by a composite structure of fibers coated with a thermosetting resin, the fibers being additionally oriented in a defined direction, if necessary. Any other suitable material is also suitable.
  • the stiffness of the reinforcement can be determined by the geometry of its profile, mainly its width and thickness, and by the nature and orientation of the material used.

  • FIG. 3 represents a section of the gliding board of FIG. 2 at the border between the zones 12 and 13, in the case where the reinforcement is attached to the upper surface of the base structure 4.
  • This view illustrates the fact that the reinforcement 20 may have a constant thickness, or else, as shown, have a thickness graduated over its width, due for example to the local superposition of different reinforcement layers. The thickness can also vary gradually. In the lengthwise direction, the thickness of the reinforcement can vary in the same way.
  • Such a reinforcement profile acts mainly on the flexion of the front zone and the rear zone which is stiffer.
  • the gliding board retains a certain flexibility in torsion. This flexibility is especially concentrated in the central zone 12.

  • the width of the branches then decreases towards the ends of the front and rear zones. Between the mounting zones 15 and 16, the reinforcement has a relative minimum of width.
  • the thickness of the reinforcement 25 can be constant over its width, or vary gradually, or, as shown in FIG. 5, vary gradually. Such a gradual or graduated thickness variation can also act lengthwise.
  • Such reinforcement mainly reinforces the torsional stiffness of the front, rear and central areas. However, the reinforcement action is relatively weaker between the mounting zones 15 and 16.
  • the reinforcement is mainly active along the lateral edges of the board, in particular it makes the board more stable in driving, and gives it better grip. in turns.
