Definitions

  • the invention relates to the field of gliding boards. It relates more particularly to a board intended for snowboarding as defined in the preamble of claim 1.
  • a such gliding board is known from US-5,573,264.
  • a user drives a board intended for the practice of snowboarding, or snowboarding, with both feet restrained on the board in a direction substantially transverse to to the length of the board.
  • the user must be able to control his trajectories, in especially in extreme situations such as turns or jump receptions requiring strong level support board contact lines on snow.
  • the board is relatively flexible lengthwise, and relatively rigid across the width. Flexibility in bending longitudinal along a substantially transverse axis allows a good trajectory control when cornering. Rigidity transverse along a longitudinal axis allows transmission driving forces towards the ends of the board, and avoids transverse bending of the board in case of contact brutal with a relief.
  • document FR 2 703 257 B1 discloses a board with a central platform which extends into direction of the heel and the tip by creating ribs.
  • the platform is located in the skate area and receives the fasteners for user support.
  • the board as claimed in document FR 2 703 257 B1 has a number of drawbacks.
  • the board is rigid in the direction of the length because of the presence of the platform, and does not allow not a good control of the driving in curve.
  • the board has at the level of the pad a significant thickness over its entire width, which gives it a high torsional strength at this location, compared to other parts of the board. It follows that the ends of the board is deformed more than the skate, and that the control trajectories upon receiving jumps is not correct.
  • the platform extends beyond the skate towards the heel and the spatula, considerably increasing the mass of the board, which affects easy and nervous driving.
  • the structure of the board requires the user to have feet on the platform, whose function is to increase the rigidity of the board, which reduces the amplitude of the user-perceivable sensations. Again, the conduct becomes imprecise.
  • the object of the invention is to remedy the drawbacks listed and many others.
  • the invention proposes a gliding board intended for snowboarding as defined in claim 1.
  • the board allows the user to take strong supports when cornering or reception of jumps with good control of the trajectory of conduct.
  • This structure also increases the amplitude of the sensations noticeable by the user, which advantageously allows more precise driving.
  • the invention is also characterized in that the means reinforcement extends substantially between the contact line and the skate, thus allowing to maintain at the level of the skate a flexibility which allows good control of driving in curves.
  • the invention is also characterized in that the reinforcing means comprises at least one strip forming an angle not zero with the longitudinal axis.
  • the orientation of the band allows to select a direction of resistance to deformation of the eccentric portion.
  • the invention is characterized in that the strip extends substantially from the contact line near a first lateral edge of the board, up to the skate near a second side edge of the board opposite the first edge. In this way, the torsional strength is maximum.
  • the invention is characterized by the the fact that the strip comprises fibers of composite materials oriented along the length of the strip.
  • the manufacturing is simple and the mechanical resistance of the strip can be determined by choosing the nature and number of fibers.
  • the invention is also characterized by the fact that the eccentric portion includes four bands forming two crosses two bands, a cross being substantially located at the level of the bearing face, the other cross being substantially located at the level of the sliding face.
  • the reinforcing means are therefore located substantially each side of the thickness of the board, which gives it a greater resistance to deformation.
  • each eccentric portion includes two crosses. It follows advantageously that the user improves his driving whatever either the direction in which it moves.
  • the board according to the invention is characterized by the fact that a cross is located at the level of the support face on the outside of the board, and in that the other cross is located at the level of the sliding face inside of the board.
  • This arrangement provides the maximum torsional strength for a given board weight, and for a strip orientation given.
  • each strip is oriented substantially at 45 ° by relative to the longitudinal axis.
  • This angle value is the one that gives the best torsional strength of the eccentric portion.
  • Figure 1 shows schematically a plan view of a slide 1 corresponding to several embodiments.
  • Plate 1 delimited by two lateral edges 2, 3 and ends 4, 5, extends substantially along a longitudinal axis L.
  • Plate 1 preferably has symmetry of the edges lateral 2, 3 with respect to the longitudinal axis L which is here a median axis of plate 1. But it must be understood that all other shape of edges 2, 3 could be used, with or without edge symmetry 2, 3.
  • the ends 4, 5 of the board 1 have each one rounded outwards and give the plate 1 a symmetry with respect to a transverse axis W, perpendicular to the L axis and located substantially in the middle of the board 1 between the ends 4, 5.
  • W transverse axis
  • all other shapes of the ends 4, 5 could be suitable and made by example board 1 asymmetrical with respect to the W axis.
  • plate 1 according to the modes of preferred embodiment advantageously allows driving also easy in one direction or the other depending on the length of the board 1.
  • a bearing face 6 of the board 1, delimited by the edges 2, 3 and the ends 4, 5, is intended to receive means to restrain a user's feet.
  • These means of restraint are known to those skilled in the art and are related to Plate 1 by any medium in a central portion F, or skate, delimited on Figure 1 by axis lines F1, F2.
  • the skate F extends along the face 6 between the lines F1, F2 so that the distance between F1 and W is substantially equal to the distance between W and F2. It follows that pad F is a portion of the board 1 substantially symmetrical with respect to the W axis.
  • shoe F is dimensioned so that everything user can position the feet retaining means as it best suits him.
  • shoe F is long enough in the direction of the longitudinal axis L, so that the feet are retained on the pad F whatever the size or driving style of the user.
  • the plate 1 includes a face glide 7 located opposite the bearing face 6 relative to the thickness of the board 1.
  • the plate 1 comprises two layers 8, 9 of composite materials impregnated with resin thermosetting disposed on either side of a core 10 made of wood, plastic or other foam; the layer 8 is located in contact with the core on the side of the face support 6, while the layer 9 is located in contact with the core on the side of the sliding face 7.
  • a decorative layer 11 is added at the edges 2, 3 and the bearing face 6, while that the sliding face 7 comprises a sole 12 produced by example in polyethylene, and edges 13, 14 produced by example in alloy steel.
  • layer 8 of composite materials is preferably a frame which includes glass fibers G and carbon fibers C.
  • the glass fibers G are oriented substantially according to the direction of the longitudinal axis L of plate 1, while the carbon fibers C are oriented substantially along the direction of the transverse axis W of the board 1.
  • layer 9 of composite materials includes glass fibers G and carbon C oriented from the same way as in layer 8.
  • the glass fibers G of layers 8, 9 extend over the entire length of board 1, and the fibers of carbon C extend over the entire width of board 1.
  • the structure described above makes the board 1 relatively flexible in the length direction, and relatively rigid in the sense of width.
  • the contact line D1 is located at the widest point of board 1 between the limit F1 of pad F and end 4, and the contact line D2 is located at the widest point between the F2 limit and the end 5.
  • any part of the sole 12 can contact the ground, but it must be understood that the four points X1, X2, X3, X4 of the sole 12, which correspond respectively to the intersection of a contact line D1, D2 with an edge 2, 3, are privileged points of contact. It is at points X1, X2, X3, X4 that are transmitted to the ground the greatest efforts of driving, or that are transmitted to plate 1 the largest impacts after a jump or a figure.
  • FIG 1 two dotted parts in the shape of a cross schematically reinforcement means M1, M2 added to the structure of plate 1.
  • the reinforcing means M1, M2 are located respectively in an eccentric portion E1 delimited by the contact line D1 and the limit F1 of shoe F, and in a eccentric portion E2 bounded by the contact line D2 and the limit F2 of pad F.
  • the reinforcement means M1 comprises a branch B1 which extends substantially between point X1 and a point of intersection i1 of edge 3 and limit F1 of skate F, as well as a branch B2 between point X4 and a point of intersection i4 of edge 2 and the F1 limit.
  • the reinforcing means M2 comprises a branch B3 which extends substantially between point X2 and a point of intersection i2 of edge 3 and limit F2 of skate F, thus that a branch B4 between point X3 and a point of intersection i3 from edge 2 and limit F2.
  • the reinforcement means M1, M2 serve to stiffen the portions E1, E2 in torsion with respect to a longitudinal axis such as the axis L of plate 1, so that the characteristics longitudinal bending of the board 1 remain substantially identical to those obtained with the structure described using in Figure 2.
  • the torsional strength of board 1 is increased locally in portions offset E1, E2.
  • Figure 4 shows the internal structure of plate 1 described using Figure 2, to which have been added reinforcement means M1. More specifically, the B1 branch includes a strip of composite materials 15 placed in contact with the layer 8, and a strip of composite materials 16 placed at the contact of the layer 9, in a groove in the sole 12.
  • branch B2 includes a strip of materials composites 17 placed in contact with layer 8, and a strip of composite materials 18 placed in contact with layer 9, in another groove in the sole 12.
  • the bands 15, 16, 17, 18 of the branches B1, B2 are distributed respectively as close as possible to the bearing face 6 or the sliding face 7, so as to give the board 1 the most high torsional strength possible in the portions offset E1, E2.
  • the strips 15, 16, 17, 18 are preferably made with carbon fibers which extend along the branches B1, B2 across the board 1, as shown in the figure 6.
