Description

L'invention est du domaine du sport et elle a plus particulièrement pour objet un ski.The invention is in the field of sport and more particularly it relates to a ski.

Le ski est élaboré, tant dans sa forme que dans sa structure, pour procurer le meilleur effet de glissement en fonction des nombreuses et diverses tensions auxquelles il est soumis, telles que vibrations, frottements, torsions et flexions. Le ski est couramment élaboré à partir de matériaux stratifiés divers, tels que résine, colle, polymère, enrobant d'autres matériaux plus ou moins durs, tels qu'acier, bois, céramique ou fibre de verre qui forment l'âme du ski.Skiing is developed, both in its shape only in its structure, to provide the best effect slip as a function of the many and various tensions to which it is subjected, such as vibrations, friction, twists and bends. Skiing is commonly developed from various laminated materials, such as resin, glue, polymer, coating other more or less hard materials, such as steel, wood, ceramic or fiberglass which form the soul of skiing.

Des étriers de fixation d'au moins une chaussure sur le ski sont conçus pour permettre la libération de la chaussure en cas de choc afin de préserver l'utilisateur de dommages corporels.Attachment brackets least one shoe on the ski are designed to allow the release of the shoe in the event of an impact in order to preserve user of personal injury.

Un problème à resoudre réside dans la liaison entre les étriers et le ski. Couramment, les étriers sont fixés sur le ski par l'intermédiaire d'une platine rapportée sur ce dernier au moyen d'une pluralité de vis. Ce mode de fixation des étriers entraíne une détérioration de la plaque, notamment par le perçage des trous de passage des vis, ce qui induit d'une part une dénaturation de l'architecture du ski, et d'autre part des altérations des surfaces ainsi exposées à l'humidité et à l'oxydation des vis. En outre, ce mode de fixation des étriers consiste en une liaison pluriponctuelle inadéquate avec les tensions considérées et la structure complexe du ski.A problem to solve in the connection between the stirrups and the ski. Commonly, stirrups are fixed on the ski by means of a plate attached to the latter by means of a plurality of screw. This method of fixing the stirrups leads to deterioration of the plate, in particular by drilling the screw through holes, which on the one hand induces a denaturing of the architecture of the ski, and on the other hand alterations to surfaces thus exposed to moisture and oxidation of the screws. In addition, this method of fixing stirrups consists of an inadequate pluripunctual link with the tensions considered and the complex structure of the ski.

Un premier but de l'invention est de remédier aux inconvénients cités et de proposer un ski dont la liaison avec au moins un étrier de fixation d'une chaussure n'entraíne pas une dénaturation de la structure du ski. A first object of the invention is to remedy the disadvantages mentioned and to offer a ski whose connection with at least one stirrup for fixing a shoe does not cause a denaturation of the structure of the ski.

Un deuxième but de l'invention est de permettre l'interchangeabilité simple et rapide d'une pluralité d'étriers de fixation pour un même ski. On connaít par la publication du brevet EP 0035343 (SHEKTER), un ski incorporant un relief allongé par rapport à sa face supérieure, le dit relief allongé présentant des faces latérales opposées, à savoir les petites faces, c'est à dire les faces transversales, participantes de moyens de liaison en emboítement avec une platine d'un étrier au moins, la dite platine présentant à cette fin un relief correspondant.A second object of the invention is to allow simple and rapid interchangeability of a multiple fixing brackets for the same ski. We know by the publication of patent EP 0035343 (SHEKTER), a ski incorporating a relief elongated with respect to its upper face, the said relief elongated with opposite side faces, namely the small faces, that is to say the transverse faces, participants of interlocking means of connection with a plate of at least one stirrup, said plate having this end a corresponding relief.

La présence de ce relief permet de rapporter l'étrier sur le ski sans avoir à percer ce dernier ; toutefois, le choix des petites faces du relief comme faces participantes des moyens de liaison entraíne plusieurs inconvénients :

  • 1.- la surface globale de liaison entre le ski et l'étrier est insuffisante pour permettre une fixation correcte,
  • 2.- la mise en place de l'étrier s'effectuant transversalement par rapport à l'axe longitudinal du ski, l'étrier est positionné de manière déterminé suivant la longueur du ski et de manière imprécise suivant sa largeur ; il résulte de ces dispositions:
  • a.- que la position de l'étrier suivant la longueur du ski ne peut être ajustée au gré de l'utilisateur,
  • b.- que la distance séparant un couple d'étriers avant et arrière ne peut être ajustée en fonction de la taille de l'utilisateur,
  • c.- qu'un mauvais positionnement des étriers par rapport à l'axe médian du ski est rendu possible.
    • The presence of this relief makes it possible to bring the stirrup to the ski without having to pierce the latter; however, the choice of the small faces of the relief as participating faces of the connection means entails several disadvantages:
  • 1.- the overall connection surface between the ski and the stirrup is insufficient to allow correct fixing,
  • 2.- the installation of the stirrup being carried out transversely with respect to the longitudinal axis of the ski, the stirrup is positioned in a determined manner according to the length of the ski and imprecisely according to its width; it follows from these provisions:
  • a.- that the position of the stirrup along the length of the ski cannot be adjusted at the discretion of the user,
  • b.- that the distance separating a couple of front and rear stirrups cannot be adjusted according to the size of the user,
  • c.- a bad positioning of the stirrups relative to the median axis of the ski is made possible.

    • Un troisième but de l'invention est de remédier aux inconvénients sus visés.A third object of the invention is to remedy the disadvantages mentioned above.

    Selon l'invention, un ski du type de ski conformé en une plaque composée d'éléments de structure stratifiés et destiné à recevoir sur l'une de ses faces, dite supérieure, au moins un étrier de fixation, le ski incorporant à cette fin au moins un relief allongé en saillie par rapport à sa face supérieure, le dit relief allongé présentant des faces latérales opposées participantes de moyens de liaison en emboítement avec une platine du dit étrier au moins, la dite platine présentant à cette fin un relief correspondant, est principalement caractérisé en ce que les faces du relief allongé participantes des dits moyens de liaison sont l'une au moins de ses grandes faces, c'est à dire ses faces longitudinales, de telle sorte que l'étrier soit positionné, d'une part de façon déterminé suivant le sens transversal du relief, et d'autre part de façon ajustable suivant le sens longitudinal du relief.According to the invention, a ski of the type ski shaped into a plate composed of elements of laminate structure and intended to receive on one of its faces, called upper, at least one fixing bracket, the ski incorporating for this purpose at least one elongated relief in protruding from its upper face, the said relief elongated with opposing participating side faces connecting means interlocking with a plate of said at least one stirrup, said plate having for this purpose a corresponding relief, is mainly characterized in that that the participating faces of the elongated relief of said means at least one of its large faces is at say its longitudinal faces, so that the stirrup either positioned on the one hand in a determined manner according to the transverse direction of the relief, and on the other hand so adjustable in the longitudinal direction of the relief.

    De préférence, le dit relief allongé est de type mâle par rapport au relief correspondant de l'étrier ; selon une forme alternative de réalisation, non préférée, le dit relief allongé est de type femelle par rapport au relief complémentaire de la platine de l'étrier et est formé d'une paire de parois en vis à vis.Preferably, the said relief elongated is of the male type with respect to the corresponding relief stirrup; according to an alternative embodiment, not preferred, said elongated relief is of female type by relative to the complementary relief of the stirrup plate and is formed by a pair of facing walls.

    Selon une forme préférée de réalisation, le dit relief allongé présente une section en queue d'aronde, ses grandes faces latérales surplombant la face supérieure du ski ; selon une autre forme de réalisation, le dit relief allongé est globalement conformé en parallélépipède.According to a preferred form of realization, said elongated relief has a section in dovetail, its large side faces overhanging the upper face of the ski; according to another form of realization, said elongated relief is generally conformed in parallelepiped.

    Avantageusement, le dit relief allongé comporte sur l'une au moins de ses grandes faces des moyens de positionnement discrets (discontinus) de l'étrier, constitués par exemple d'une pluralité de crans équirépartis, tels qu'une crémaillère et/ou des trous borgnes, les dits moyens étant en outre de façon avantageuse apte à coopérer avec les moyens d'assujettissement habituels des étriers sur un ski.Advantageously, the said relief elongated has on at least one of its large faces discrete (discontinuous) positioning means of the stirrup, consisting for example of a plurality of evenly spaced notches, such as a rack and / or blind holes, the so-called means also being advantageously able to cooperate with the usual means of securing the stirrups on a ski.

    Accessoirement, le dit relief incorpore au moins un élément ferromagnétique destiné à coopérer avec un élément ferromagnétique correspondant supporté par l'étrier.Incidentally, the said relief incorporates at least one ferromagnetic element intended for cooperate with a corresponding ferromagnetic element supported by the stirrup.

    Les moyens de liaison entre le ski et les étriers peuvent être appliqués à tous les genres de skis du type de ceux susvisés, quelle que soit leur largeur, tels que par exemple, le ski de fond, le ski alpin, le monoski, le surf, le ski nautique, et d'une manière plus générale les skis et planches utilisés dans les sports de glisse et nautiques.The means of connection between the ski and stirrups can be applied to all kinds of skis of the type of those mentioned above, whatever their width, such as for example, cross-country skiing, alpine skiing, monoskiing, surfing, water skiing, and more general skis and boards used in sports sliding and nautical.

    Ainsi, un ski de l'invention pourra comporter une glissière unique dans le cas où celui-ci est d'une faible largeur, tel que pour un ski de fond et/ou un ski alpin, ou un couple de glissières pour les skis plus larges, tels que les monoski et surf, les glissières pouvant être soit l'une à côté de l'autre pour le monoski par exemple, soit dans le prolongement l'une de l'autre pour le surf par exemple.So a ski of the invention may include a single slide in case it is of small width, such as for cross-country skiing and / or an alpine ski, or a couple of slides for more skis wide, such as monoski and surf, the slides can be either side by side for the monoski by example, either as an extension of each other for the surf for example.

    Par ailleurs, selon des formes alternatives de réalisation d'un ski de l'invention en fonction de son application, le relief allongé est soit rectiligne, soit circulaire, et peut s'étendre suivant la longueur du ski et/ou de façon oblique.Besides, according to forms alternatives for making a ski of the invention in depending on its application, the elongated relief is either straight, or circular, and can extend according to the length of the ski and / or obliquely.

    La présente invention sera mieux comprise et des détails en relevant apparaítront à la description qui va être faite de formes préférées de réalisation en relation avec les figures des planches annexées dans lesquelles :

  • la fig.1 est une représentation schématique en perspective d'un ski relevant de l'art antérieur,
  • les fig.2 à 4 sont des vues schématiques respectivement de face, de dessus et en coupe d'une forme de réalisation préférée d'un ski de l'invention,

  • les fig.17 à 20 sont des vues en coupe illustrant différents moyens respectifs d'obtention d'un ski de l'invention,
    • The present invention will be better understood and details will be apparent from the description which will be given of preferred embodiments in relation to the figures of the appended plates in which:
  • FIG. 1 is a schematic perspective representation of a ski belonging to the prior art,
  • FIGS. 2 to 4 are schematic views respectively from the front, from above and in section of a preferred embodiment of a ski of the invention,
  • FIGS. 5 to 7 are schematic views from the front, from above and in section respectively of another embodiment,

  • Figs. 12 to 16 are respective illustrations of different applications,
  • FIGS. 17 to 20 are sectional views illustrating different respective means for obtaining a ski of the invention,

    • Sur la fig.1, un ski 2 est doté d'un relief 4 destiné à coopérer par emboítement avec un relief correspondant 6 ménagé dans la platine 8 d'étriers de fixation 10 et 12, tel que cela l'a été décrit par le brevet EP 0035343 (SHEKTER)In Fig. 1, a ski 2 has a relief 4 intended to cooperate by fitting with a corresponding relief 6 formed in the plate 8 of stirrups of attachment 10 and 12, as described by the patent EP 0035343 (SHEKTER)

    Ce relief est en saillie sur la face supérieure 14 du ski 2 destinée à recevoir les étriers 10 et 12, les faces transversales 16 et 18 du dit relief 4 participant des moyens de liaison entre le ski 2 et la platine 8 des étriers 10 et 12.This relief is protruding on the upper face 14 of ski 2 intended to receive the stirrups 10 and 12, the transverse faces 16 and 18 of said relief 4 participating in the connection means between ski 2 and the plate 8 of brackets 10 and 12.

    Il apparaít de façon évidente qu'une tel structure de ski offre des surfaces de liaison avec des étriers de fixation 10 et 12 insuffisantes, et ne permet ni d'ajuster 1 la position de la platine 8 suivant la longueur du ski 2, ni d'ajuster 3 la position d'étriers avant 12 et arrière 10 l'un par rapport à l'autre en vue de régler celle-ci en fonction de la taille de l'utilisateur, ni de guider 5 les étriers 10 et 12 transversalement au ski 2 en vue du réglage de leur position par rapport à l'axe longitudinal médian de celui-ci.It is obvious that such a ski structure offers connecting surfaces with insufficient fixing brackets 10 and 12, and do not allows neither to adjust 1 the position of the plate 8 according to the length of ski 2, nor to adjust 3 the position of front stirrups 12 and rear 10 relative to each other to adjust depending on the size of the user, or guide 5 the stirrups 10 and 12 transversely to the ski 2 in view of the adjustment of their position relative to the axis longitudinal median thereof.

    Les fig.2 à 20 illustrent un ski 2 présentant un relief allongé 20, en saillie par rapport à la face supérieure 14 du ski 2, les grandes faces 22,24 et 26 du dit relief allongé 20 étant participantes des moyens de liaison avec les étriers. On comprendra par grandes faces les faces longitudinales du relief allongé, tant ses faces latérales 22 et 24 que sa face supérieure 26. Figs. 2 to 20 illustrate a ski 2 having an elongated relief 20, projecting from the upper face 14 of the ski 2, the large faces 22, 24 and 26 of said elongated relief 20 being participants means of link with the stirrups. We will understand by large faces the longitudinal faces of the elongated relief, both its faces side 22 and 24 as its upper face 26.

    On remarquera sur les fig.2 à 4 d'une part et sur les fig.5 à 7 d'autre part que le relief allongé 20 peut être soit de type mâle (fig.2 à 4), soit de type femelle (fig.5 à 7) par rapport au relief complémentaire de l'étrier, le relief allongé 20 étant formé dans ce dernier cas de deux parois 28 et 30 en vis en vis.Note in figs. 2 to 4 on the one hand and in figs. 5 to 7 on the other hand that the relief elongated 20 can be either of the male type (fig. 2 to 4), or of female type (fig. 5 to 7) in relation to the complementary relief of the stirrup, the elongated relief 20 being formed in the latter case of two walls 28 and 30 facing each other.

    Sur les fig.8 à 11, le relief allongé 20 comporte des moyens de positionnement discrets (discontinus) des étriers, les dits moyens étant destinés à coopérer avec les moyens d'assujettissement dont sont généralement pourvus les étriers. Ces moyens de positionnement et d'assujettissement sont par exemple constitués d'une crémaillère 32 (fig.8 et 9) et/ou de trous borgnes, tels que 34 (fig.10 et 11), ménagés sur les faces latérales 22 et 24 (fig.8 et 10) ou supérieure 26 (fig.9 et 11) du relief allongé 20.In figs. 8 to 11, the relief elongated 20 comprises discrete positioning means (discontinuous) stirrups, said means being intended for cooperate with the means of subjugation which are generally provided with stirrups. These means of positioning and subjugation are for example consisting of a rack 32 (fig. 8 and 9) and / or holes blind, such as 34 (fig. 10 and 11), arranged on the faces side 22 and 24 (fig. 8 and 10) or upper 26 (fig. 9 and 11) elongated relief 20.

    Sur les fig.2 à 7, le relief allongé 20 présente une section en queue d'aronde, ses grandes races latérales 22 et 24 surplombant la face supérieure 14 du ski 2, tandis que sur les fig.8 à 11, le relief allongé 20 est un parallélépipède. On notera toutefois que les dispositions décrites concernant les dits moyens de positionnement discrets 32 et/ou 34 sont envisageables pour des reliefs 20 de section diverse, tels que ceux représentés sur les fig.2 à 7.In figs. 2 to 7, the relief elongated 20 has a dovetail section, its large lateral races 22 and 24 overhanging the face upper 14 of ski 2, while in FIGS. 8 to 11, the elongated relief 20 is a parallelepiped. Note however that the provisions described concerning the said means of discrete positioning 32 and / or 34 are possible for reliefs 20 of various cross-section, such as those represented in figs. 2 to 7.

    Sur les fig.12 à 16, les applications d'un ski de l'invention sont diverses et nombreuses : à l'instar des applications au ski de fond et ski alpin représentées sur les fig. 2 à 7, un ski de l'invention peut encore trouver son application dans le monoski (fig.12) ou encore dans le surf (fig.13 à 16).In Figs. 12 to 16, the applications of a ski of the invention are diverse and numerous: like cross-country skiing and alpine skiing shown in fig. 2 to 7, a ski the invention can still find its application in the monoski (fig. 12) or in surfing (fig. 13 to 16).

    On remarquera que le ski 2 peut comporter un relief 20 unique (fig.13) comme un couple de reliefs 21 et 23 -ou davantage encore- (fig.12,14 à 16), que le relief 20 peut être rectiligne et s'étendre suivant la longueur du ski 2 (fig.1 à 12, 15) ou de manière oblique (fig.13 et 14), et que le relief 20 peut être de conformation circulaire, en demi lune par exemple (fig.16).Note that ski 2 can have a single relief 20 (fig. 13) as a pair of reliefs 21 and 23 -or more still- (figs 12,14 to 16), than the relief 20 can be rectilinear and extend along the length of ski 2 (fig. 1 to 12, 15) or obliquely (fig. 13 and 14), and that the relief 20 can be of conformation circular, in half moon for example (fig. 16).

    Sur les fig.17 à 20, le relief allongé 20 est formé à partir d'un insert 36, celui-ci étant élaboré à partir, soit d'une matière métallique, soit de l'une des matières à partir desquelles sont élaborées les différentes strates du ski, telles qu'une résine et/ou une matière composite.In figs. 17 to 20, the relief elongated 20 is formed from an insert 36, the latter being made from either a metallic material or one of the materials from which the different layers of the ski, such as a resin and / or a composite material.

    Sur la fig.17, l'insert est rapporté pendant le thermoformage du ski 2 pour se trouver enrobé par la strate externe 38 de ce dernier, tandis que sur la fig.18 l'insert 36 est serti dans le ski 2, et que sur la fig.19 l'insert 36 est clipsé à l'intérieur d'une encoche 40 ménagée dans le ski 2 et éventuellement collé ; toutefois, l'insert pourrait être simplement collé sur un emplacement 42 préparé sur la face supérieure 14 du ski 2.In fig. 17, the insert is reported during thermoforming of ski 2 to find coated by the outer layer 38 of the latter, while on Fig. 18 the insert 36 is crimped into the ski 2, and that on the fig. 19 the insert 36 is clipped inside a notch 40 formed in ski 2 and possibly glued; however, the insert could simply be glued to a location 42 prepared on the upper face 14 of ski 2.

    On a pu observer, à la description qui vient d'être faite de formes de réalisation de la présente invention, que ces formes reprennent dans leur caractériste principale celle des figures 2A et 2D de la demande de brevet FR 9211002 (HUDRY) dont la priorité est revendiquée dans la présente demande internationale, les dites figures 2A et 2D de la demande française se retrouvant respectivement dans les figures 6-7 et 3-4 de la demande de brevet internationale ; les autres réalisations de la demande française ont été abandonnées.We were able to observe, at the description just made of embodiments of the present invention, that these forms resume in their main characteristic that of Figures 2A and 2D of the patent application FR 9211002 (HUDRY) whose priority is claimed in the present international application, the say Figures 2A and 2D of French demand being found respectively in Figures 6-7 and 3-4 of the application for international patent; other demand realizations French were abandoned.

    Bien que l'on ait décrit et représenté des formes préférées de réalisation, il doit être compris que la portée de la présente invention n'est pas limitée à ces formes mais qu'elle s'étend à tout ski comportant les caractéristiques énoncées plus haut.Although we have described and shown preferred embodiments it must be understood that the scope of the present invention is not limited to these forms but that it extends to any ski with the characteristics set out above.
