Abstract

The ski has a rigid platform (9) at its central sliding zone. The lateral rigid edges (6,7) of the ski each have two projections (10,11,12,13) which are higher than the upper surface (14) of the ski and the platform is fixed to these. There is a layer of elastic or viscoelastic material between each projection and the base of the platform and they are bonded together. There can be one projection on each side to which the platform is fixed or the platform can be made in one piece with the projections.

Description

La présente invention se rapporte à une planche de glisse sur neige, tel qu'un ski, un monoski, un surf, etc..., qui comporte, dans sa zone de patin, une plateforme de réception et de surélévation des fixations de la chaussure du skieur.The present invention relates to a board of slides on snow, such as a ski, a monoski, a surf, etc ..., which includes, in its skating area, a platform reception and elevation of shoe bindings from skier.

Il est connu de rapporter sur un ski une plateforme de surélévation des fixations de la chaussure, sous forme d'une plaque de surélévation qui est rapportée dans la zone de patin et sur la surface supérieure du ski par l'intermédiaire d'une couche de matériau ayant des propriétés d'amortissement, typiquement d'une couche de matériau visco-élastique.It is known to bring a platform on a ski heightening of the shoe bindings, in the form of a raised plate which is added to the skate area and on the upper surface of the ski via a layer of material having damping properties, typically a layer of visco-elastic material.

Par "plateforme de surélévation", on entend une plateforme procurant une surélévation effective des fixations, et donc formée d'une plaque dont l'épaisseur totale, comprenant celle de la couche intermédiaire visco-élastique, est supérieure à 5 millimètres.By "raised platform" is meant a platform providing an effective elevation of the fasteners, and therefore formed of a plate whose total thickness, comprising that of the visco-elastic intermediate layer is greater to 5 millimeters.

Ces plaques de surélévation sont maintenant nécessaires en raison de la diminution actuelle au niveau de la zone de patin, de la largeur des skis alpins modernes dont une conséquence est alors un risque de ripage du ski en virage serré, car la chaussure, qui déborde latéralement, vient alors toucher la neige à chaque prise de carre forte. Avec une surélévation suffisante, la chaussure ne risque pratiquement plus de venir frotter sur la neige à chaque inclinaison latérale importante du ski, et le ski peut donc être utilisé normalement, notamment en slalom.These raised plates are now required due to the current decrease in the area of skate, the width of modern alpine skis including one consequence is then a risk of skidding the ski when cornering tight, because the shoe, which protrudes laterally, then comes touch the snow each time you take a sharp edge. With a sufficient elevation, the shoe practically no longer risks to come and rub on the snow at each lateral tilt important of skiing, and skiing can therefore be used normally, especially in slalom.

Outre ces fonctions de surélévation de la chaussure et d'amortissement des vibrations, cette plaque surélévatrice a, ou peut avoir, d'intéressantes fonctions annexes :

  • Elle a une fonction de débridage du ski. En effet, la butée avant et la talonnière du système de fixation viennent, pour maintenir la chaussure du skieur, exercer des poussées antagonistes sur la semelle rigide de la chaussure, ce qui a pour effet de cintrer et de rigidifier le ski,donc d'en modifier son comportement au cours de la pratique du ski.Cette tension due aux ressorts de la fixation vient exercer un moment de force qui, sans plaque intermédiaire, vient cintrer le ski. Dans ce cas, les fixations ont donc tendance à modifier les caractéristiques du ski, ce qui est très ennuyeux car le cambre du ski a été particulièrement étudié au stade de la conception de chaque ski par le producteur. Avec la plaque surélévatrice, ces efforts dûs aux fixations viennent alors s'exercer sur cette plaque qui est suffisamment rigide pour ne pas les retransmettre à la structure du ski.
  • A contrario, elle peut, pour des skis polyvalents par exemple, être conçue pour, en position de repos, exercer une pré-tension à chaque bout par deux butées réglables par vis, générant ainsi un effet de réglage de la cambrure du ski en fonction du poids du skieur ou de son niveau technique.
  • Elle peut aussi améliorer la précision du ski.
In addition to these functions of raising the shoe and damping vibrations, this raising plate has, or may have, interesting additional functions:
  • It has an unlocking function for the ski. Indeed, the front stop and the heel of the binding system come, to maintain the skier's shoe, exert antagonistic thrusts on the rigid sole of the shoe, which has the effect of bending and stiffening the ski, therefore modify its behavior during skiing. This tension due to the springs of the binding exerts a moment of force which, without an intermediate plate, bends the ski. In this case, the bindings therefore tend to modify the characteristics of the ski, which is very annoying because the camber of the ski has been particularly studied at the design stage of each ski by the producer. With the elevating plate, these forces due to the bindings then come to be exerted on this plate which is rigid enough not to retransmit them to the structure of the ski.
  • Conversely, it can, for versatile skis for example, be designed to, in the rest position, exert a pre-tension at each end by two stops adjustable by screws, thus generating an effect of adjustment of the camber of the ski in function the skier's weight or technical level.
  • It can also improve the accuracy of skiing.

A titre d'état de la technique peuvent par exemple être cités les brevets US N° 3.260.532 et N° 2.550.002, ainsi que les documents FR-A-2.638.651 et EP-A-0.490.044.As a state of the art, for example, cited US Patents No. 3,260,532 and No. 2,550,002, as well as documents FR-A-2.638.651 and EP-A-0.490.044.

La présente invention se propose, en particulier, d'améliorer la transmission des efforts entre la fixation, supportée par la plateforme, et les carres, ou les arêtes latérales, inférieures du ski ou autre planche de glisse sur neige. Elle propose en outre un ski à plateforme surélevée et à chants latéraux pour lequel le moyen de support de cette plateforme est réalisé simplement, et harmonieusement du fait qu'il se marie bien avec la structure même du ski, s'intégrant pratiquement à cette dernière tout en supprimant les effets parasites des éléments intermédiaires.The present invention proposes, in particular, to improve the transmission of forces between the fixing, supported by the platform, and the edges, or the edges side, bottom of the ski or other board to glide on snow. It also offers a raised platform ski and side edges for which the support means of this platform is realized simply, and harmoniously because that it goes well with the very structure of the ski, integrating practically to the latter while removing the effects parasites of the intermediate elements.

Elle se rapporte à cet effet à un ski, ou autre planche de glisse sur neige, comportant au moins :

  • une semelle inférieure de glissement,
  • un noyau bordé de part et d'autre dans ladite zone de réception des fixations, par des chants latéraux rigides et distincts du noyau, ces chants latéraux (6, 7) formant des éléments de support de ladite plateforme (9),
  • une couche supérieure de protection et de décor, ces chants chants latéraux présentant chacun une ou plusieurs excroissances qui dépassent en hauteur du niveau supérieur de ladite couche supérieure de la planche de glisse et qui sont agencées pour constituer entièrement des pieds de support de ladite plateforme de réception et de surélévation des fixations de la chaussure.
It relates for this purpose to a ski, or other board for sliding on snow, comprising at least:
  • a slip sole,
  • a core bordered on either side in said area for receiving the fastenings, by rigid lateral edges and distinct from the core, these lateral edges (6, 7) forming support elements for said platform (9),
  • an upper protective and decorative layer, these side edge songs each having one or more protuberances which project in height from the upper level of said upper layer of the gliding board and which are arranged to entirely constitute support feet for said platform reception and elevation of shoe bindings.

L'invention sera bien comprise, et ses avantages et diverses caractéristiques ressortiront mieux, lors de la description suivante de quelques exemples non-limitatifs de réalisation, en référence au dessin schématique annexé dans lequel :

  • Figure 1 est une vue en perspective éclatée, avec coupe partielle, de la zone de patin d'un ski selon l'invention, la plateforme n'étant pas encore rapportée sur le ski, et ce dernier étant un ski traditionnel.
  • Figure 2 est une vue en perspective non éclatée, semblable à la figure 1, et montrant la plateforme définitivement rapportée sur le ski.
  • Figure 3 est une vue en coupe selon la ligne brisée III-III de la figure 2.
  • Figures 4 à 6 sont des vues respectivement semblables aux figures 1 à 3, et montrant une variante de réalisation de ce même ski.
  • Figures 7 à 9 sont des vues respectivement semblables aux figures 1 à 3, et illustrant une autre forme de réalisation.
  • Figures 10 et 11 sont respectivement une vue partielle en perspective éclatée et une vue latérale de la zone de patin d'un ski qui est une variante du ski selon les figures 7 à 9.
  • Figures 12 et 13 sont toutes deux des vues semblables à la figure 11, et illustrant deux autres variantes du ski selon les figures 7 à 9.
The invention will be well understood, and its advantages and various characteristics will emerge more clearly from the following description of some non-limiting exemplary embodiments, with reference to the appended schematic drawing in which:
  • Figure 1 is an exploded perspective view, with partial section, of the skate area of a ski according to the invention, the platform not yet being attached to the ski, and the latter being a traditional ski.
  • Figure 2 is an unexploded perspective view, similar to Figure 1, and showing the platform permanently attached to the ski.
  • Figure 3 is a sectional view along the broken line III-III of Figure 2.
  • Figures 4 to 6 are views respectively similar to Figures 1 to 3, and showing an alternative embodiment of the same ski.
  • Figures 7 to 9 are views respectively similar to Figures 1 to 3, and illustrating another embodiment.
  • Figures 10 and 11 are respectively a partial exploded perspective view and a side view of the skate area of a ski which is a variant of the ski according to Figures 7 to 9.
  • Figures 12 and 13 are both views similar to Figure 11, and illustrating two other variants of the ski according to Figures 7 to 9.

En se reportant tout d'abord aux figures 1 à 3, il s'agit d'un ski traditionnel, dit à structure "sandwich", dont seule la zone de patin (c'est-à-dire la zone sensiblement médiane qui reçoit les fixations de la chaussure) est ici représentée.Referring first to Figures 1 to 3, it this is a traditional ski, known as a "sandwich" structure, only the skate area (i.e. the area substantially middle which receives the shoe bindings) is here represented.

La structure de ce ski traditionnel comporte classiquement :

  • Une semelle de glissement 1 bordée de part et d'autre par des carres métalliques inférieures 2,3.
  • Un élément inférieur de renfort 4.
  • Un noyau massif 5 bordé de part et d'autre par des chants latéraux massifs 6 et 7.
  • Un élément supérieur de renfort 24.
  • Une couche supérieure de protection et de décor 8.
The structure of this traditional ski conventionally includes:
  • A sliding sole 1 bordered on either side by lower metal edges 2,3.
  • A lower reinforcement element 4.
  • A solid core 5 bordered on both sides by massive lateral edges 6 and 7.
  • An upper reinforcing element 24.
  • A top layer of protection and decoration 8.

Une plaque ou plateforme rigide 9 est prévue pour recevoir les fixations de la chaussure, ces fixations n'étant pas représentées sur le dessin.A rigid plate or platform 9 is provided for receive the shoe bindings, these bindings not being shown in the drawing.

Cette plaque rigide 9 est centrée sur la zone de patin, dont elle occupe d'ailleurs la quasi-totalité.This rigid plate 9 is centered on the skate area, almost all of which it occupies.

Conformément à l'invention, les chants latéraux 6 et 7 présentent chacun, ici dans la zone de patin, deux excroissances, respectivement 10,11 et 12,13, qui dépassent en hauteur du niveau supérieur de la surface supérieure 14 du ski, et qui sont positionnées et conformées pour constituer les quatre pieds de support de la plaque ou plateforme rigide 9.According to the invention, the side edges 6 and 7 each have, here in the skate area, two growths, respectively 10.11 and 12.13, which exceed in height of the upper level of the upper surface 14 of the ski, and which are positioned and shaped to constitute the four support feet for the rigid plate or platform 9.

Comme on le voit sur le dessin, la couche supérieure 8 est localement interrompue pour laisser la place aux excroissances 10 à 13.As seen in the drawing, the upper layer 8 is locally interrupted to make way for outgrowths 10 to 13.

La plateforme 9 est, selon les figures 2 et 3, rapportée sur ces quatre pieds 10 à 13 par collage. Ce collage peut avantageusement être réalisé à l'aide d'une couche 15 de matière visco-élastique ou de matière élastique, ce qui permet d'améliorer la souplesse de la liaison ski-plateforme, ainsi que de constituer un élément d'amortissement des vibrations.The platform 9 is, according to Figures 2 and 3, reported on these four feet 10 to 13 by gluing. This collage can advantageously be made using a layer 15 of material visco-elastic or elastic material, which allows improve the flexibility of the ski-platform connection, as well as to constitute a vibration damping element.

Il est à noter que la transmission, aux carres 2 et 3 et donc à la neige, des efforts exercés par la chaussure du skieur est ici excellente car les carres, les chants, et les pieds de la plateforme forment, de chaque côté du ski, un ensemble solidaire et pratiquement rigide.It should be noted that the transmission, at edges 2 and 3 and therefore in the snow, efforts exerted by the skier's shoe is excellent here because the edges, the edges, and the feet of the platform form, on each side of the ski, a set united and practically rigid.

En pratique, les excroissances 10 à 13 qui forment les quatre pieds de la plateforme 9 dépassent de quelques millimètres de la surface supérieure 14 du ski.In practice, the growths 10 to 13 which form the four feet from platform 9 protrude a few millimeters from the upper surface 14 of the ski.

La réalisation selon ces figures 1 à 3 prévoit quatre pieds distincts 10 à 13 pour la plateforme 9. Ceci n'est pas limitatif et, à titre d'exemple, les figures 4 à 6 illustrent une réalisation semblable à celle qui vient d'être décrite, mais pour laquelle les chants 6 et 7 ne comportent chacun qu'une longue excroissance respective 16,17 qui remplace les deux pieds précédents, respectivement 10,11 et 12,13, en comblant l'espace longitudinal qui les sépare. La plaque 9 est alors supportée par deux pieds 16,17 au lieu de quatre, ces deux pieds étant simplement très allongés, d'une longueur ici voisine de celle de la plaque 9. Cette forme de réalisation a l'avantage de la simplicité, mais la réalisation précédente paraít néanmoins préférentielle car elle entraíne un bridage plus faible du ski.The embodiment according to these figures 1 to 3 provides for four separate legs 10 to 13 for platform 9. This is not limiting and, by way of example, FIGS. 4 to 6 illustrate a similar achievement to that just described, but for which songs 6 and 7 each have only one respective long protrusion 16.17 which replaces the two previous feet, respectively 10.11 and 12.13, filling in the longitudinal space which separates them. Plate 9 is then supported by two feet 16.17 instead of four, these two feet being simply very elongated, of a length here close of that of plate 9. This embodiment has the advantage simplicity, but the previous realization nevertheless appears preferential because it results in a lower clamping of the ski.

Une variante de réalisation qui s'attache à réduire au maximum ce bridage du ski est représentée sur les figures 7 à 9.An alternative embodiment which seeks to reduce the maximum this clamping of the ski is represented in FIGS. 7 to 9.

Dans ce cas, la plaque ou plateforme 9 est prévue d'une seule pièce avec les excroissances 18,19 et des portions 6A,7A des chants 6,7 du ski.In this case, the plate or platform 9 is provided in one piece with the growths 18,19 and portions 6A, 7A of the songs 6,7 of the ski.

La plaque 9 n'est portée par ces excroissances ou pieds 18,19 que par une de ses deux extrémités longitudinales 9A, l'autre extrémité 9B étant libre et étant en porte-à-faux, et reposant sur une cale 20 qui est insérée entre la face inférieure 9C de cette extrémité libre 9B et la surface supérieure 14 du ski.Plate 9 is not carried by these growths or feet 18,19 only by one of its two longitudinal ends 9A, the other end 9B being free and being cantilevered, and resting on a shim 20 which is inserted between the underside 9C of this free end 9B and the upper surface 14 of the ski.

Les parties restreintes 6A,7A des chants qui comportent les excroissances 18,19 se raccordent aux chants 6,7 par collage ou par tout autre moyen équivalent.Restricted parts 6A, 7A of songs which include the protrusions 18.19 are connected to the edges 6.7 by gluing or by any other equivalent means.

La cale 20 est préférentiellement en matière élastique, ou plutôt visco-élastique, ce qui lui laisse une grande liberté de mouvement et amenuise donc le bridage du ski tout en ayant un efficace effet d'amortissement des vibrations.The shim 20 is preferably made of elastic material, or rather visco-elastic, which gives it great freedom of movement and therefore reduces the clamping of the ski while having an effective vibration damping effect.

Cette cale 20 peut aussi être en matière semi-rigide, ou même rigide. Afin de ne pas brider la plateforme 9, et donc le ski, elle peut alors n'être fixée, par exemple collée, que par une seule de ses deux grandes faces, c'est-à-dire n'être fixée que soit seulement sur la face inférieure 9C de la plateforme, soit seulement sur la face supérieure 14 du ski. Elle peut aussi être fixée par ses deux grandes faces, mais par l'intermédiaire d'au moins une couche élastique ou visco-élastique sur les deux couches d'adhésivage.This wedge 20 can also be made of semi-rigid material, or even rigid. In order not to restrain the platform 9, and therefore the ski, it can then be fixed, for example glued, only by only one of its two large faces, i.e. not be fixed that it is only on the lower face 9C of the platform, or only on the upper face 14 of the ski. She can also be fixed by its two large faces, but via at least one elastic or visco-elastic layer on both adhesive layers.

A noter que la figure 7 est un éclaté réalisé pour la bonne compréhension, et non pas un éclaté de montage des éléments : il est bien évident que l'ensemble monobloc 9,18,19,6A,7A est posé dans le moule de fabrication avant que n'y soient posés les parties restantes 6,7 des chants ainsi que la couche de décor 8.Note that Figure 7 is an exploded view taken for the good understanding, not an exploded assembly elements: it is obvious that the one-piece assembly 9,18,19,6A, 7A is placed in the manufacturing mold before the remaining parts 6.7 of the edges are placed there as well as the decor layer 8.

Dans la réalisation selon les figures 7 à 9, où le porte-à-faux 9B de la plateforme 9 est orienté vers l'avant du ski, la plateforme 9 est toujours centrée sur la zone de patin, de sorte que les portions de chant 7A et 6A, qui sont ici réalisées symétriques par rapport à leur excroissance unique 19 et 18, sont en fait décalées vers l'arrière du ski par rapport à cette zone de patin.In the embodiment according to Figures 7 to 9, where the overhang 9B of the platform 9 is oriented towards the front of the ski, platform 9 is always centered on the skate area, so that the edge portions 7A and 6A, which are produced here symmetrical with respect to their unique outgrowth 19 and 18, are actually shifted towards the rear of the ski with respect to this skate area.

Ceci n'est nullement obligatoire, et les pièces 6A et 7A pourraient très bien être dissymétriques par rapport à leurs excroissances 18 et 19 pour rester ainsi, au moins en grande majorité, comprises dans la zone de patin.This is by no means obligatory, and parts 6A and 7A could very well be asymmetrical compared to their growths 18 and 19 to stay that way, at least in large majority, included in the skating area.

En ce qui concerne la forme de réalisation illustrée aux figures 7 à 9, il n'est pas absolument indispensable que la plateforme 9 soit réalisée d'une seule pièce avec les portions de chant 6A,7A et leurs excroissances 18,19.With regard to the embodiment illustrated in Figures 7 to 9, it is not absolutely essential that the platform 9 is made in one piece with the portions edge 6A, 7A and their growths 18.19.

A ce propos, les figures 10 et 11 illustrent une variante de réalisation pour laquelle la plaque 9 est rapportée, par exemple par collage (éventuellement à l'aide d'une couche élastique ou visco-élastique 21) sur ces deux excroissances 18 et 19.In this regard, Figures 10 and 11 illustrate a variant embodiment for which the plate 9 is attached, for example by bonding (possibly using a layer elastic or visco-elastic 21) on these two protuberances 18 and 19.

Pour plus de clarté, la partie avant du ski est indiquée par une flèche F sur la figure 11.For clarity, the front part of the ski is indicated by an arrow F in Figure 11.

Bien d'autres variantes de réalisation de la forme d'exécution selon les figures 7 à 9 sont envisageables.Many other variants of the form of execution according to FIGS. 7 to 9 are conceivable.

A ce sujet, la figure 12 montre une réalisation semblable à celle selon la figure 8, mais pour laquelle le porte-à-faux 9B de la plateforme 9 est orienté vers l'arrière du ski. Les portions de chant 6A et 7A sont alors décalées vers l'avant du ski par rapport à la zone de patin qui contient la plateforme 9.In this regard, Figure 12 shows an embodiment similar to that according to figure 8, but for which the overhang 9B of platform 9 is oriented towards the rear of the ski. The edge portions 6A and 7A are then shifted towards the front of the ski in relation to the skate area which contains the platform 9.

Selon la figure 13, l'ensemble monobloc 7A,6A,18,19,9 est réalisé totalement symétrique, longitudinalement, par rapport aux excroissances 18,19 de sorte que cet ensemble monobloc est centré sur la zone de patin et que la plateforme 9, qui est elle-aussi symétrique longitudinalement par rapport aux excroissances 18 et 19, se compose de deux parties en porte-à-faux et de mêmes dimensions : une partie 9D dirigée vers l'avant du ski et une partie 9E dirigée vers l'arrière du ski.According to FIG. 13, the one-piece assembly 7A, 6A, 18.19.9 is completely symmetrical, longitudinally, with respect to to the growths 18.19 so that this one-piece assembly is centered on the skate area and that platform 9, which is also symmetrical longitudinally with respect to growths 18 and 19, consists of two cantilevered parts and of the same dimensions: a 9D part directed towards the front of the ski and a part 9E directed towards the rear of the ski.

Pour la réalisation selon cette figure 13, on pourra assez facilement ne pas prévoir de cales de soutien, semblables à la cale 20 de la figure 8, entre les parties en porte-à-faux 9D,9E et la surface supérieure du ski, de telles cales pouvant de toute façon toujours être rajoutées par le détaillant si le skieur le désire.For the realization according to this figure 13, we can quite easily do not provide support wedges, similar at the shim 20 of FIG. 8, between the cantilever parts 9D, 9E and the upper surface of the ski, such chocks being able to anyway always be added by the retailer if the skier wants it.

Comme il va de soi, l'invention n'est pas limitée aux exemples de réalisation qui viennent d'être décrits. C'est ainsi par exemple que les excroissances des chants du ski ou autre planche de glisse sur neige, peuvent être dissymétriques, d'un chant à l'autre, par rapport au plan longitudinal médian du ski, c'est-à-dire par rapport au plan orthogonal à la semelle de glissement et passant par l'axe longitudinal médian du ski. En particulier, afin de débrider le ski en flexion, il pourrait être prévu moins d'excroissances, donc moins de pieds pour la plateforme, ou moins de longueur d'excroissance, du côté intérieur du ski lorsque les deux skis sont chaussés aux pieds du skieur que de l'autre côté (ou côté extérieur).It goes without saying that the invention is not limited to examples of embodiments which have just been described. This is how for example that the excrescences of the ski edges or other snow gliding board, can be asymmetrical, of a edge to edge, relative to the median longitudinal plane of the ski, that is to say in relation to the plane orthogonal to the sole of sliding and passing through the median longitudinal axis of the ski. In particular, in order to unleash the ski in flexion, it could be expected fewer growths, so fewer feet for the platform, or less protrusion length, on the side inside of the ski when both skis are fitted of the skier than on the other side (or outside side).

C'est ainsi également que la plateforme 9 pourrait être elle-même l'embase, classiquement réalisée sous forme de glissière, de la fixation de la chaussure, cette plateforme et glissière recevant donc le corps de la butée avant et/ou de la talonnière.This is also how platform 9 could be itself the base, conventionally produced in the form of slide, fastening the shoe, this platform and slide therefore receiving the body of the front stop and / or the heel piece.

On sait en effet qu'une fixation traditionnelle comporte généralement une embase formant glissière, et donc à section en forme de "U fermé", cette embase permettant, par glissement, au corps de la fixation (butée avant et/ou talonnière) de se déplacer longitudinalement vers l'avant ou vers l'arrière pour en particulier régler la fixation en fonction de la pointure de la chaussure du skieur. Selon cette particularité de l'invention, c'est donc cette plateforme de surélévation 9 qui sert également de glissière.We know that a traditional fixation includes generally a base forming a slide, and therefore with a cross-section form of "closed U", this base allowing, by sliding, to body of the binding (front and / or heel stop) to move longitudinally forward or backward to in particular adjust the binding according to the size of the skier's shoe. According to this feature of the invention, it is therefore this elevation platform 9 which also serves of slide.

La planche de glisse considérée n'est pas obligatoirement munie de carres métalliques. Il pourrait très bien s'agir d'une planche de glisse ne possédant pas de carres sur ses arêtes latérales inférieures, comme c'est le cas actuellement pour une grande majorité des skis de fond.The gliding board considered is not must have metal edges. He could very well be a board with no edges on its lower side edges, as is the case currently for a large majority of cross-country skis.
