Definitions

  • the present invention relates to equipment for the practice of skiboard and water skiing in its most varied forms, such as ski jumping, speed skiing, slalom skiing, figure skiing, and more particularly binding equipment. from a skier to a skiboard or a water ski.
  • connection means has the particular disadvantage of not rigidly binding the skier to the skiboard and therefore limits the directional possibilities of the skiboard by the skier.
  • Conventional equipment for connecting a skier to one or more ski (s) is in the form of an envelope, generally made of rubberized material, fixed on a ski and into which the practitioner introduces his foot. It should be noted that such a holding means only envelops the practitioner's foot, possibly a part of the ankle or the entire ankle, and does not allow precise clamping of the foot in the envelope.
  • the guide of the ski (s) by the practitioner which is carried out by the foot and possibly a part of the ankle or the whole ankle, is relatively imprecise due to the absence of contribution of the lower leg in guiding the ski (s) and due to the flexibility of the rubberized material of the envelope.
  • the present invention overcomes these various drawbacks. More specifically, it consists of equipment allowing the practice of water skiing to a skier comprising, a water ski, a first and a second footwear body comprising respectively a first and a second flexible booties, respectively enveloping at most a first and a second feet, first and second ankles, and first and second lower legs of said skier, and first and second lockable rigid support structures respectively enveloping said first and second flexible booties respectively and having at least a first and a second sole respectively provided with a first and a second heel, a first and a second metatarsal belt, a first and a second instep belt, a first and a second upper, said first and second body footwear being placed respectively one behind the other on said s nautical ki, characterized in that said equipment comprises a first releasable rear safety stop, and a second releasable rear safety stop, said first and second releasable rear safety stops being mounted on said ski, for a rele
  • the present invention offers the advantage of involving the lower leg in guiding the ski, by means of the rigid rod, which makes it possible to obtain greater possibilities for driving the ski, in particular making tighter turns, which is advantageous.
  • the sole and its heel, the metatarsal belt and the instep belt, rigid participate in a rigid connection between the lower part of the lower limb and the ski, which results in particular in increased precision in guiding the ski , the whole of the support structure giving the skier the possibility of reacting with the entire part of the lower limb enveloped by said support structure by means of the liner, thus obtaining a better distribution of the forces, in particular during accelerations, straight in traction, or centripetal in turns.
  • the two releasable rear safety stops ensure the transmission of forces between the ski and the two support structures by rigid connection, this in complete safety in the event of a fall, by triggering said rear stops which release the ski support structures independently.
  • a practical advantage of the independence of the rear stops consists in allowing the practitioner after a fall to be able to engage the fixing means without external assistance while being in the water.
  • the means for engaging the rear stops offer on the one hand the possibility of a contiguous positioning of the footwear one behind the other, and on the other hand the total clearance of the space located immediately behind a footwear , by the rear stop.
  • the equipment for connecting a skier to a water ski comprises a first front stop, mounted on said ski, for the introduction therein of a first cover carried by a first front part of said first lockable rigid holding structure, said first front stop surrounding said first cover to allow contiguous positioning of said first and second footwear respectively one behind the other.
  • This characteristic advantageously and essentially makes it possible to clear the space located immediately in front of the footwear, while ensuring a rigid safety connection for the footwear, in cooperation with the releasable rear safety stop, and allowing contiguous positioning of the footwear. one behind the other.
  • Figure 1 shows a front view of a footwear body according to the invention comprising in particular a lockable rigid support structure with a flexible liner inside.
  • Figure 2 shows in perspective independent means for releasably securing a boot, mounted on a ski, said means being constituted by a front stop, and a releasable rear safety stop used in ski touring.
  • FIG. 3 represents a front view of a footwear body according to FIG. 1, fixed on a water ski by means of independent releasable fastening means according to FIG. 2.
  • FIG. 4 represents a front view of two footwear according to FIG. 1, fixed one behind the other on a water ski by means of independent releasable fastening means according to FIG. 2.
  • Figure 5 shows the independent releasable safety fixing means according to Figure 2 fixed on a skiboard, seen from above.
  • the footwear body 3 shown in Figure 1 comprises a flexible bootie 31, capable of wrapping a foot, an ankle, and a lower leg of a practitioner, who introduces his foot into said bootie in a conventional manner, the latter being advantageously locked by any known means, once the practitioner's foot is introduced.
  • the liner 31 can advantageously be made of spongy material, in order to be able to constitute a mattress soaked with water at a temperature close to that of the practitioner's body, in use, so as to have good thermal comfort .
  • the footwear body 3 according to FIG. 1 further comprises a rigid support structure 30, advantageously made of plastic material, enveloping the flexible bootie 31, having a rigid sole 301 comprising a rigid heel 307, a rigid metatarsal belt 305 advantageously lockable, a rigid instep belt 306 advantageously also lockable, a rigid rod 302, likewise advantageously lockable, having a joint 308, passing through an axis of rotation substantially equal to that defined by the ankle during forward bending.
  • a rigid support structure 30, advantageously made of plastic material enveloping the flexible bootie 31, having a rigid sole 301 comprising a rigid heel 307, a rigid metatarsal belt 305 advantageously lockable, a rigid instep belt 306 advantageously also lockable, a rigid rod 302, likewise advantageously lockable, having a joint 308, passing through an axis of rotation substantially equal to that defined by the ankle during forward bending.
  • This characteristic advantageously and essentially makes it possible to clear the space located immediately in front of the footwear, while ensuring a rigid safety connection for the footwear, in cooperation with the releasable rear safety stop, and allowing contiguous positioning of the footwear. one behind the other.
  • Another embodiment of the invention provides, according to the features of claim 9, safety fastenings on a skiboard along axes not parallel to the axis of the skiboard.
  • Figure 1 shows a front view of a footwear body according to the invention comprising in particular a lockable rigid support structure with a flexible liner inside.
  • Figure 2 shows in perspective independent means for releasably securing a boot, mounted on a ski, said means being constituted by a front stop, and a releasable rear safety stop used in ski touring.
  • FIG. 3 represents a front view of a footwear body according to FIG. 1, fixed on a water ski by means of independent releasable fastening means according to FIG. 2.
  • FIG. 4 represents a front view of two footwear according to FIG. 1, fixed one behind the other on a water ski by means of independent releasable fastening means according to FIG. 2.
  • Figure 5 shows the independent releasable safety fixing means according to Figure 2 fixed on a skiboard, seen from above.
  • the footwear body 3 shown in Figure 1 comprises a flexible bootie 31, capable of wrapping a foot, an ankle, and a lower leg of a practitioner, who introduces his foot into said bootie in a conventional manner, the latter being advantageously locked by any known means, once the practitioner's foot is introduced.
  • the liner 31 can advantageously be made of spongy material, in order to be able to constitute a mattress soaked with water at a temperature close to that of the practitioner's body, in use, so as to have good thermal comfort .
  • the footwear body 3 according to FIG. 1 further comprises a rigid support structure 30, advantageously made of plastic material, enveloping the flexible bootie 31, having a rigid sole 301 comprising a rigid heel 307, a rigid metatarsal belt 305 advantageously lockable, a rigid instep belt 306 advantageously also lockable, a rigid rod 302, likewise advantageously lockable, having a joint 308, passing through an axis of rotation substantially equal to that defined by the ankle during forward bending.
  • the two foot belts, metatarsal and instep ensure the support of the parts of the foot concerned, respectively on the sole and the heel of the support structure, through the liner so as to get footwear (not shown) can advantageously be similar to the footwear 3 shown in FIG. 4.
  • the releasable safety fastening means comprise two flanges 21 and two releasable rear safety stops 22 for independently binding two footwear respectively to the skiboard 1.
  • Each footwear body is advantageously linked to the skiboard as shown in FIG. 3.
  • the flange 21 and the rear stop 22 for each footwear body are fixed to the skiboard 1 advantageously by means of a plate 23, the essential purpose of which is to allow both a possibility of modification of the relative angular orientation of the longitudinal axes A1 and A2 of the footwear therebetween, and a possibility of modification of the angular orientation of the latter relative to a longitudinal axis A3 of the skiboard.
