Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for distributing the pressure of a ski, such as in particular an alpine ski, over its sliding surface.
  • the invention also relates to a set of front and rear alpine ski binding elements, as well as an alpine ski, equipped with such a device.
  • the skis which are used for the practice of alpine skiing consist of relatively long boards, on which the skier's shoes are retained by front and rear fastening elements.
  • the boot and the binding elements are located approximately in the middle region of the ski, which is commonly called the skate.
  • the skis have in themselves, at rest, a natural camber, by which the skate is raised naturally relative to the front end of the ski, or tip, and the rear end of the ski, or heel.
  • the skis have flexibility, which is due to their internal structure. When skiing, I ski deforms elastically in response to the various stresses to which it is subjected on the part of the skier, but also on the part of the terrain on which it slides.
  • the main stress to which the ski is subjected is constituted by the weight of the skier, and by the reaction to which the sliding surface subjects the ski.
  • the ski is also stressed by the binding elements. It is indeed known that the fastening elements pinch the shoe in a longitudinal direction. The reaction to this pinching action is transmitted by the binding elements to the ski. This reaction, however, has a different nature depending on the method of assembling the rear binding element to the ski. Indeed, some rear binding elements are assembled directly to the ski, while others are assembled to the front binding element by an inextensible link, such as a metal blade which extends under the boot.
  • Skiing is also influenced by the position of the skier over his boots, depending on whether he carries his weight forward or backward.
  • the behavior of the ski on snow can be modified, in particular its ease of initiation when cornering, its quality of driving when cornering or in a straight line, by influencing the camber of the ski, or even by playing on the longitudinal distribution of the ski pressure on the snow.
  • this pressure distribution it is known that one can make the ski more or less pivoting or more or less guiding, that is to say that one can promote its ability to turn easily, and to have great driving stability.
  • the pressure distribution of the ski on the snow is mainly determined by the internal structure of the ski, and by the method of assembly of the binding elements to the ski, that is to say with or without connecting blade between the front and rear elements.
  • the pressure distribution can also be influenced by the intensity of thrust given to the recoil springs which determines the toe-in of the shoe between its fastening elements.
  • European patent application No. 183,586 describes a blade of material elastic spring blade type attached above the ski, between the binding elements and the ski. This blade has, at its front and rear ends, sliders through which vertically passes part of the forces to which the ski is subjected.
  • This device however has the disadvantage of having modest performance for a large size. It is suitable for the case where both feet of the skier are in support for the same ski, to avoid that the whole weight of the skier is concentrated in the skate area. On the other hand, it is ill-suited in the case of a pair of traditional skis.
  • One of the aims of the invention is to propose a device which makes it possible to modify, dynamically, the pressure distribution of a ski on its sliding surface, that is to say which takes account, during the glide, the position of the skier on his skis, and the vertical pushing effort due to the skier on his skis.
  • Another object of the present invention is to provide a device which also gives the shoe a suspension effect during gliding.
  • Another object of the invention is to propose a device which makes it possible to compensate for momentary increases in the pressure that a part of the ski exerts on snow, by transferring this additional pressure to another part of the ski.
  • Another object of the invention is to provide a device which also has damping qualities at the ends of the ski for vertical vibrations.
  • the device according to the invention aims to modify the pressure distribution of a ski such as in particular an alpine ski on its sliding surface.
  • the ski is equipped with at least one fastening element intended to retain a boot bearing on the ski in its central area of the skate, and at least one bearing element on which the shoe sole rests.
  • Said ski also comprises a lower base, the front end of which is raised to form the tip, and a stiffening blade which extends freely above the base in its central part, and the two ends of which are linked to the base in front and behind the skate area.
  • the device according to the invention is characterized in that it also comprises: a feeler member in contact with the shoe sole, capable of sensing the vertical stresses of at least part of the shoe sole,

  • FIG. 1 there is shown, to illustrate the invention, a ski 1 which is equipped in particular with a front fixing element 2, and a rear fixing element 3. These two fixing elements 2 e 3 are intended to retain the front and rear ends of a boot on the ski.
  • the ski 1 is composed of two elements, a lower base 4, and an upper stiffening blade 5
  • the lower base 4 has an elongated shape, and it is it which is in contact with the snow. So front end 6 is raised to form the ski tip. Its rear end 7 constitutes the talo ski.
  • the fastening elements 2 and 3 are secured to the base in its central zone 8, which is also called the shoe.
  • the stiffening blade 5 also has an elongated shape, and it extends above the base 4. According to FIG. 2, the width of the stiffening blade 5 is constant and less than that of the base 4. This is not limiting, and the stiffening blade 5 could have a variable width over its length. The thickness of the stiffening blade 5 can also be variable over the length of this blade, and in the figures, the thickness of the stiffening blade 5 is reduced in the area of the shoe. This is also not limiting.
  • the stiffening blade is made of any suitable material capable of transmitting a compression stress over its length.
  • the material of the blade is chosen so that the blade also has elasticity in bending in a vertical plane.
  • it is made of composite material possibly loaded with fibers.
  • the stiffening blade 5 extends above the base 4, from an area which is located in the front part of the ski, that is to say between the tip 6 and the shoe 8, up to a zone located in the rear part of the ski, that is to say between the heel 7 and the shoe 8.
  • the stiffening blade 5 extends freely above the base in its central zone, and it is secured to the base 4 at its ends.
  • the stiffening blade 5 is secured, at its front end 10 and its rear end 12, to the upper surface of the base 4, these areas being located approximately at the front quarter and the rear quarter of the ski.
  • the ends of the blade 5 are secured to the base 4 by any suitable means, for example by screwing, gluing or welding. They can also be secured by end caps linked to the base against which they abut. Also, a layer of material having damping characteristics can be interposed between the ends of the stiffening blade and the upper surface of the base.
  • the front 2 and rear 3 fastening elements are integrally connected to the base 4 of the ski.
  • Figures 3 to 5 show that the front fastening element 2 is mounted on a base plate 13, which has in cross section a shape of jumper.
  • This base plate 13 overlaps the stiffening blade 5, it rests on the upper surface of the base 4 by its lateral edges.
  • the base plate 13 has, in its lower part, a longitudinal recess 17 inside which the stiffening blade 5 can slide freely in a longitudinal direction.
  • screws 18 secure the front fixing element 2 and the base plate 13 to the base. Any other suitable means, however, may also be suitable.
  • FIGS. 3 and 6 also show that the rear binding element 3 is mounted on the ski by means of a base plate 14 which is secured to the base 4 by any appropriate means, and in the example illustrated, by screws 20 located on the lateral edges of the base plate.
  • the rear base plate 14 has a longitudinal recess 21 inside which the stiffening blade 5 is engaged in a longitudinal direction, and can slide freely.
  • the element 21 is closed, in its upper part, only on the rear by a transverse strip 22 which connects the two lateral edges of the base 14.
  • the base plates 13 and 14 provide the connection between the fastening elements 2 and 3 and the base 4 of the ski, but also their role is to vertically retain the stiffening lam 4 to avoid buckling, and therefore to keep it close to the upper surface of the base.
  • the base plates 13 and 14 are integral with the base 4, and no of the blade 5.
  • the support plates associated with the fastening elements 2 and 3, on which the shoe rests, and the The binding elements themselves which retain the boot are therefore also connected to the base of the ski. Good driving qualities of the ski are thus retained because the forces between the base and the boot pass directly without passing through the blade 5.
  • the stiffening blade 5 influences the bending of the base 4 in different ways.
  • the stiffening blade 5 by its front part and its rear part, brings back, in the area of the shoe, the bending stresses of the front end o the rear end of the base.
  • the front part of the stiffening blade 5 brings back, in the area of the skate, this flexion request, which can result in the form of a longitudinal sliding of the blade relative to the low amplitude base or of a compression stress brought back by the blade. It is the same for the heel.
  • the blade 5 can generate bending stresses on the front end or the rear end of the ski.
  • a longitudinal forward thrust, exerted on the front part of the blade 5 is transmitted to the base 4, in its front region, in the form of a bending moment which tends to cause it to plunge towards the snow the front end of the ski.
  • a longitudinal rearward thrust which would be exerted in the rear part of the stiffening blade 5 this thrust would generate a bending moment of the rear end of the ski which would tend to plunge this end towards the snow.
  • the bending moment is exerted mainly on the ski at the ends 10 and 12 of the blade which are integral with the base 4.
  • the stiffening blade 5 is made up of two parts which do not constitute a one-piece assembly in a longitudinal direction, the stresses picked up by each of the parts are brought back into the area of the skid; conversely, it is possible to generate, from the skate area, longitudinal thrust forces on the front or rear part of the blade, which in turn generate bending moments of the front end or the end rear of the base.
  • the front and rear parts of the stiffening blade 5 respectively have elastic flexibility in the vertical and longitudinal plane defined by the ski. They therefore also play, on the front and rear parts of the base 4, a damping role for vertical vibrations.
  • the device which is the subject of the present invention also has a feeler member, which is in connection with the shoe sole, and which is capable of sensing at least the vertical downward stresses exerted on it by the sole.
  • the device also comprises connecting means between the feeler member and the stiffening blade 5, which transform the vertical stresses of the shoe into one or two longitudinal thrust forces at the stiffening blade 5, oriented towards the front end and / or rear end thereof.
  • the feeler member, the connecting means and the stiffening blade 5 are capable of generating bending moments of the front end and / or the rear end of the ski from the vertical stresses that the boot exerts on the feeler organ. This is superimposed on the front-rear transmission function which has been described previously. Therefore, a bending moment can be generated at one end of the ski, or by a bending stress which occurs at the other end, or by a vertical stress on the boot.
  • the feeler member is constituted by the support plate 25, which is associated with the rear fastening element 3, and on which the rear end of the shoe sole rests.
  • the body of the rear fastening element 3 is slidably mounted along a slide 26, and the support plate 25, which constitutes the feeler member, extends the slide 26 which is also connected to the base plate 14, in its rear part, by a horizontal and transverse articulation axis 28.
  • the base plate 14 in fact has two longitudinal and vertical wings 29 and 30, between which the stiffening blade 5 passes, and between which is located the base plate 14. These wings carry the axis 28 in their rear part.
  • the slide 26, and therefore the feeler member 25, have a rotational movement around the axis 28 in the vertical and longitudinal median plane defined by the ski. On the other hand, the axis 28 does not allow a rolling movement of the probe 25.
  • the vertical stresses of the boot are absorbed by the vertical movement of the feeler 25 around the axis 28.
  • the transverse roll stresses are on the other hand transmitted directly to the base 4 of the ski.
  • the axis 28 is not limiting, and any other means of assembling the fixing element 3 which ensures vertical movement of the feeler member 25 may be suitable.
  • the rotational movement of the slide 26 is limited downwards and upwards.
  • the limiting means are represented in the figures by a horizontal and transverse pin 32, located in the front part of the slide 26.
  • the ends of the pin 32 circulate in vertically oriented slots 33 and 34 which are carried respectively by the wings 29 and 30 of the base plate 14.
  • the rotational movement is limited by the abutment of the ends of the pin 32 in the upper part or the lower part of the slots 33 and 34.
  • a spring or a damping block can be placed between the slide 26 and the base plate 14 to bias the slide upwards and to counteract or dampen its downward movement.
  • the connecting means which connect the feeler member 25 to the connecting blade 5 are notably visible in FIG. 7.
  • the stiffening blade 5 is in two parts, that is to say a front slat 37 and a rear batten 38 which meet at the level of the feeler member 25.
  • the connecting means comprise a rocker 35 which, seen from the side, has approximately an L shape with a vertical branch 35a and a horizontal branch 35b.
  • the rocker 35 is suspended around an axis 36 which is located in the upper part of its vertical branch 35a.

  • the pin 36 passes through the front end of the rear slat 38 which preferably has at this level a piece of end piece 42. The pin 36 thus ensures the connection between the rear slat and the connecting means.
  • An axis 43 is also located in the central part of the rocker 35, that is to say below the level of the axis 36, at the junction of the vertical and horizontal branches.
  • the axis 43 provides the articulation connection between the rocker 35 and the rear end of the front batten 37.
  • the rocker 35 also includes, at the free end of its horizontal branch 35b, a bearing zone 45 on which the feeler member 25 comes to rest in a vertical direction by means of the slide 26.
  • the support zone 45 is in two parts which are situated on either side of the front end 42 of the rear batten 38. The slide comes to rest, in a vertical direction, on the support zones 45 by two lateral pads 46.

  • the lateral pads 46 of the slide 26 are in abutment on the zones 45 of the rocker 35, and cause its rotation about its axis 36 which is carried by the oblong holes 39 and 40.
  • the rotational movement of the rocker 35, resulting from a downward movement of the feeler member 25, causes a relative distance of the front and rear slats 37 and 38 in a longitudinal direction.
  • the relative approximation of the slats 35 and 38 corresponds to the rotation of the rocker in the opposite direction, and to the ascent of the feeler member 25.
  • the slats transmit to the rocker a compression preload which tends to keep the body member 25 in the high position.
  • Abutment means further limit the relative approximation of the slats 37 and 38, that is to say ensure a securing of the slats for a longitudinal movement in the direction of approximation.
  • the axis 36, around which the rocker 35 is suspended, is located at a sufficient height relative to the upper surface of the base 4, so that the rotation of the rocker 35 and the translational movements of the front and rear slats 37 and 38 can be done without interference with the upper surface of the base 4.

  • the feeler member could also be independent of the front and rear support plates on which the shoe rests. For example, it could be placed at the central part of the shoe between its front and rear supports.
  • toggle joint which allows the blade 5 to be prestressed and the variants of the connecting means could be fitted to any of the embodiments which have been described.
