Description

Dispositif pour éviter la perte de ski, notamment en neige profondeDevice to avoid ski loss, especially in deep snow
Domaine techniqueTechnical area
L'invention concerne les dispositifs de sécurité destinés à récupérer les skis déchaussés en neige poudreuse ou profonde, et en particulier un dispositif pour éviter la perte de ski du type comportant une courroie reliant la chaussure du skieur à un enrouleur fixé au ski.The invention relates to safety devices intended to recover skis in loose snow or deep snow, and in particular a device for preventing ski loss of the type comprising a strap connecting the skier's boot to a reel attached to the ski.
Etat de la techniqueState of the art
Traditionnellement, afin d'éviter la perte d'un ski lors d'une chute, les skis étaient pourvus de lanières en cuir souple, ce qui était certes un bon moyen, mais tout de même dangereux pour le skieur qui, lors d'une chute importante, voire violente, risquait un grave accident.Traditionally, in order to avoid the loss of a ski during a fall, the skis were provided with flexible leather straps, which was certainly a good means, but all the same dangerous for the skier who, during a a serious or even violent fall risked a serious accident.
1'apparition du dispositif connu sous le nom de "stop-ski" consistant en une tige qui est dégagée lorsque le skieur déchausse et qui bloque la progression du ski dans la neige, a rendu une parfaite autonomie au skieur. Le "stop-ski" est malgré tout inefficace en neige poudreuse. Cependant, le ski a beaucoup évolué ces dernières années, et un skieur ayant atteint un niveau qu'il considère extrême sera toujours attiré par le ski hors pistes malgré les interdictions, les dangers et les conseils de prudence. Un autre système utilisé pour la récupération d'un ski déchaussé consiste à disposer d'un enrouleur fixé au ski et relié à la chaussure du skieur par une courroie qui se déroule tout en maintenant le ski accroché à la chaussure du skieur en cas de chute de celui-ci. Un tel système, bien qu'efficace, manque généralement de souplesse et n'est pas toujours fiable dans la mesure où la courroie peut se décrocher de l'enrouleur en cas de chute brutale, ce qui peut entraîner alors la perte du ski.The appearance of the device known as a "ski stop" consisting of a rod which is released when the skier takes off his shoes and which blocks the progress of the ski in the snow, has given the skier perfect autonomy. The "stop-ski" is nevertheless ineffective in powder snow. However, skiing has evolved a lot in recent years, and a skier who has reached a level which he considers extreme will still be attracted to off-piste skiing despite the prohibitions, dangers and safety advice. Another system used for recovering a loose ski consists of having a reel attached to the ski and connected to the skier's shoe by a strap which unwinds while keeping the ski attached to the skier's shoe in the event of a fall. of it. Such a system, although effective, generally lacks flexibility and is not always reliable insofar as the belt can come off the reel in the event of a sudden fall, which can then lead to the loss of the ski.
Exposé de 1 'invention C'est pourquoi le but de 1'invention est de fournir un dispositif pour éviter la perte de ski déchaussé qui soit souple flexible et fiable.Statement of the invention This is why the aim of the invention is to provide a device for avoiding the loss of loose ski which is flexible, flexible and reliable.
L'objet de l'invention est donc un dispositif pour éviter la perte de ski déchaussé en neige poudreuse ou profonde, du type comportant une courroie reliant la chaussure du skieur à un moyen enrouleur fixé au sk , dans lequel 1 'enrouleur est composé de deux blocs solidaires du ski reliés par un axe principal sur lequel est enroulée la courroie, chacun des blocs comportant un ressort du type spirale dont l'extrémité mobile est solidaire de l'axe, de sorte que, lorsque le skieur déchausse, la courroie est déroulée en maintenant le ski relié à la chaussure du skieur à une certaine distance de ce dernier.The object of the invention is therefore a device for avoiding the loss of ski boots in powdery or deep snow, of the type comprising a strap connecting the skier's boot to a rewinding means fixed to the sk, in which the reel is composed of two blocks integral with the ski connected by a main axis on which the belt is wound, each of the blocks comprising a spring of the spiral type whose movable end is integral with the axis, so that, when the skier takes off his shoes, the belt is held while keeping the ski connected to the skier's shoe at a certain distance from the latter.

Les figures la et lb représentent le dispositif destiné à être monté sur le ski derrière le talon, donc en deçà du centre de gravité du ski, en place figure la et ski déchaussé figure lb.Figures la and lb show the device intended to be mounted on the ski behind the heel, therefore below the center of gravity of the ski, in place figure la and barefoot ski figure lb.
Le socle 1 représenté sur la figure 2 peut être réalisé en tout matériau rigide tel qu'une matière plastique rigide ou en matériau composite léger. De forme rectangulaire, il comporte à ses extrémités deux emplacements creux 2 où viennent se positionner les deux blocs 3, de préférence en alliage, et permettant ainsi le centrage du mécanisme. La figure 3 représente le dispositif dans sa totalité. Il est caractérisé par les deux blocs en alliageThe base 1 shown in Figure 2 can be made of any rigid material such as a rigid plastic or a lightweight composite material. Rectangular in shape, it has at its ends two hollow locations 2 where the two blocks 3, preferably made of alloy, are positioned, and thus allowing the mechanism to be centered. Figure 3 shows the entire device. It is characterized by the two alloy blocks
3, de forme droite vue de profil, et inclinés latéralement jusqu'à une base plus large afin de leur donner une meilleure assise. Ils sont percés en leur sommet d'un diamètre égal à celui d'une tête de vis 4 jusqu'à moitié de leur hauteur afin de former une butée, percés ensuite du fond de cette gorge jusqu'à leur base du diamètre de la vis 5 elle même, ces deux vis 5 maintiennent le dispositif ainsi que le socle 1 sur le ski. Les deux blocs 3 sont percés face à face d'un diamètre d'environ 10mm et d'une profondeur équivalente pour y introduire des ressorts 6, illustrés sur la figure3, straight in profile view, and tilted laterally to a wider base to give them a better seat. They are drilled at their top with a diameter equal to that of a screw head 4 up to half their height in order to form a stop, then drilled from the bottom of this groove to their base of the diameter of the screw 5 itself, these two screws 5 hold the device and the base 1 on the ski. The two blocks 3 are drilled face to face with a diameter of about 10mm and an equivalent depth to introduce springs 6, illustrated in the figure
4, ainsi que des roulements à billes étanches 7, illustrés sur la figure 5 et ayant un orifice central 6a d'environ 4mm.4, as well as sealed ball bearings 7, illustrated in FIG. 5 and having a central orifice 6a of approximately 4mm.
Les évidements résultant du percement sont pourvus d'une fente 8 d'environ 0,8mm d'épaisseur et d'une hauteur d'environ 6mm destinée à recevoir l'extrémité fixe 9a du ressort 6 et de la fixer.The recesses resulting from the drilling are provided with a slot 8 of approximately 0.8 mm thick and a height about 6mm intended to receive the fixed end 9a of the spring 6 and to fix it.
On doit noter que" le ressort utilisé de préférence est du type ressort plat en spirale, taré de manière à lui donner une capacité de résistance égale à environ 3kg. Mais il est évident que tout autre ressort ou mécamisme équivalent produisant le même effet pourrait être utilisé.It should be noted that "the spring preferably used is of the flat spiral spring type, calibrated so as to give it a resistance capacity equal to approximately 3 kg. But it is obvious that any other spring or equivalent mechanism producing the same effect could be used.
Les deux roulements 7 de la figure 5 ont des orifices centraux 7a par lesquels passe un axe 11 pourvu d'une fente à chacune de ses extrémités, d'une épaisseur d'environ 0,25mm et d'une profondeur d'environ 6mm où est introduite la languette centrale mobile 9b (voir figure 4) du ressort 6.The two bearings 7 in FIG. 5 have central orifices 7a through which passes an axis 11 provided with a slot at each of its ends, with a thickness of approximately 0.25mm and a depth of approximately 6mm where is introduced the movable central tongue 9b (see Figure 4) of the spring 6.
L'axe 11 comporte une fente lia en son centre sur une longueur de 15mm environ pour y fixer la courroie. Sur cet axe, deux bagues 14 entre lesquelles est enroulée la courroie, sont serties et ont pour but de pousser en butée les deux roulements contre les ressorts et ainsi positionner les deux blocs en alliage à égale distance pour être vissés sur leur socle.The axis 11 has a slot 11a in its center over a length of about 15mm for fixing the strap there. On this axis, two rings 14 between which the belt is wound, are crimped and are intended to push the two bearings into abutment against the springs and thus position the two alloy blocks at equal distance to be screwed on their base.
La courroie 13, illustrée sur la figure 6, de préférence en Nylon tressé de 1mm d'épaisseur, mais pouvant être en tout autre matière de même robustesse, est fixée dans la fente centrale de l'axe 11 et s'enroule autour de celui-ci tout en étant contenue dans le couvercle 15 qui recouvre tout le dispositif. La courroie 13 sort du couvercle 15 par la fente 16. Pour la relier au skieur, la courroie est munie à son extrémité d'une tige 17 réalisée en matière plastique rigide ou en matériau composite, d'une épaisseur de 4mm et d'une largeur de 20 à 24 mm , donc plus large que la fente 16, ce qui lui permet de rester à l'extérieur et d'être utilisée à volonté.The strap 13, illustrated in FIG. 6, preferably in braided nylon 1 mm thick, but which may be made of any other material of the same robustness, is fixed in the central slot of the axis 11 and is wound around that -this while being contained in the cover 15 which covers the entire device. The belt 13 leaves the cover 15 through the slot 16. To connect it to the skier, the belt is provided at its end with a rod 17 made of rigid plastic or composite material, with a thickness of 4mm and a width of 20 to 24 mm, therefore wider than the slot 16, which allows it to stay outside and be used at will.
La tige 17 se trouvant à l'extrémité de la courroie 13 est destinée à se placer dans un petit boîtier-tiroir 18 représenté sur la figure 7 riveté à 1 'arrière de chaque chaussure de ski. La tige 17 vient se positionner dans l'ouverture centrale du boîtier 18 et est bloquée par le tiroir 20 qui maintient la tige en butée. Pour être accessible, le tiroir 20 comporte une bordure plus large que lui-même. Lorsque ie tiroir est sollicité pour son ouverture, deux petits ergots (non montrés) sont prévus à 1'intérieur de la boite afin de 1'empêcher de sortir en fin de course. Le tout est moulé en usine pour ne former qu'une seule et unique pièce.The rod 17 located at the end of the belt 13 is intended to be placed in a small drawer-box 18 shown in FIG. 7 riveted to the rear of each ski boot. The rod 17 is positioned in the central opening of the housing 18 and is blocked by the drawer 20 which keeps the rod in abutment. To be accessible, the drawer 20 has a wider border than itself. When the drawer is requested to open, two small pins (not shown) are provided inside the box in order to prevent it from coming out at the end of the stroke. The whole is molded in the factory to form a single piece.
On doit noter que le couvercle 15, généralement de forme semi-cylindrique, destiné à assurer la protection du dispositif, peut être réalisé en matière plastique rigide ou en matériau composite, en ne formant qu'une seule pièce avec le socle. La jointure de ces deux éléments est étanche. la fixation peut être réalisée à l'aide de simples vis sur les côtés après avoir perforé auparavant les deux blocs en alliage sur leur côté, ou par simple encliquetage par des ergots concaves et convexes moulés respectivement sur le socle et le boîtier.It should be noted that the cover 15, generally of semi-cylindrical shape, intended to ensure the protection of the device, can be made of rigid plastic or of composite material, forming only one piece with the base. The joint of these two elements is waterproof. the fixing can be carried out using simple screws on the sides after having previously perforated the two alloy blocks on their side, or by simple snap-fastening by concave and convex lugs molded respectively on the base and the housing.
Une des particularités du dispositif selon l'invention est de disposer d'une courroie suffisamment longue pour qu'en cas de chute et déchaussement du ski, ce dernier se trouve écarté du skieur de manière à ce que celui-ci ne soit pas blessé par le ski si la chute se prolonge du fait de la pente. Il faut donc prévoir une courroie de 80cm ou plus. Avec une courroie de 80cm, le nombre de tours autour de 1'axe reliant les deux blocs est d'environ 15, ce qui représente un diamètre de 32mm lorsque la courroie est enroulée.One of the peculiarities of the device according to the invention is to have a strap long enough so that in the event of the ski falling and loosening, the latter is moved away from the skier so that the latter is not injured by skiing if the fall is prolonged due to the slope. It is therefore necessary to provide a strap of 80cm or more. With an 80cm belt, the number of turns around the axis connecting the two blocks is about 15, which represents a diameter of 32mm when the belt is wound.
De façon à disposer d'une courroie la plus longue possible pour un encombrement et un poids minimum, on peut alors utiliser un système d'enroulement à deux axes tel qu'illustré sur la figure 8, le premier axe 11 étant, comme dans le dispositif illustré sur les figures précédentes, pourvu à ses extrémités d'un ressort de rappel et fait fonction d'axe moteur, alors que le deuxième axe 12 fait seulement fonction d'axe guide. Le fait d'enrouler la courroie sur deux axes permet d'utiliser une courroie bien plus longue, par exemple de 1,5m, tout en gagnant de la place sur la hauteur du dispositif par rapport au socle.In order to have the longest possible belt for space and minimum weight, it is then possible to use a two-axis winding system as illustrated in FIG. 8, the first axis 11 being, as in the device illustrated in the preceding figures, provided at its ends with a return spring and acts as a motor axis, while the second axis 12 acts only as a guide axis. Winding the belt on two axes allows the use of a good belt longer, for example 1.5m, while saving space on the height of the device relative to the base.
Contrairement aux dispositifs de la technique antérieure utilisant un simple enrouleur de courroie, le dispositif de l'invention permet de répartir sur deux ressorts l'effort brutal qui peut avoir lieu lors de la chute du skieur. Pour une même force de tension souhaitée, on peut donc avoir des ressorts ayant une tension moitié moindre et donc obtenir une meilleure souplesse de l'ensemble. Cette souplesse peut empêcher la rupture de la fixation de la courroie qui pouvait se produire avec les simples enrouleurs utilisés auparavant. En outre, l'effort exercé par la courroie lorsqu'elle se déroule brutalement au moment de la chute, s'équilibre donc à tout instant sur les deux extrémités de l'axe, ce qui permet d'obtenir une grande flexibilité. Enfin, l'existence de deux blocs disposant chacun d'un ressort, augmente considérablement la fiabilité de l'ensemble dans la mesure où, même dans en cas de rupture de l'un des deux ressorts, le dispositif continuera à fonctionner grâce au deuxième ressort. Unlike the devices of the prior art using a simple belt reel, the device of the invention makes it possible to distribute over two springs the sudden force which can take place during the fall of the skier. For the same desired tension force, it is therefore possible to have springs having half the tension and therefore obtain better flexibility of the assembly. This flexibility can prevent breakage of the belt attachment which could occur with the simple reels used previously. In addition, the force exerted by the belt when it takes place suddenly at the time of the fall, is therefore balanced at all times on the two ends of the axis, which makes it possible to obtain great flexibility. Finally, the existence of two blocks, each having a spring, considerably increases the reliability of the assembly insofar as, even in the event of one of the two springs breaking, the device will continue to operate thanks to the second spring.
