Abstract
Description
La présente invention a pour objet un accessoire pour l'utilisation sans bâtons d'un engin de glisse sur neige, tel qu'un surf.The present invention relates to an accessory for the use without sticks of a snow gliding device, such as a snowboard.
Un surf de neige est un engin de glisse sur neige sur lequel l'utilisateur se trouve en position oblique, et n'utilise pas de bâtons, comme tel est le cas, par exemple, avec d'autres engins de glisse sur neige, tels que des skis ou des monoskis.A snowboard is a snow gliding device on which the user is in an oblique position, and does not use sticks, as is the case, for example, with other gliding gear on snow, such as skis or monoskis.
La pratique du surf peut être effectuée sur des pentes fortes, et permet, quelle que soit la pente, d'obtenir des angulations importantes lorsque l'utilisateur bénéficie d'une bonne expérience. Il n'est pas rare, qu'au cours de virages, l'utilisateur puisse amener les mains au contact de la neige.Surfing can be done on steep slopes, and allows, whatever the slope, to obtain significant angulations when the user has a good experience. It's not rare, that during turns, the user can bring their hands into contact with the snow.
Toutefois, il ne peut utiliser ce contact pour prendre appui contre la neige, dans la mesure où ses mains sont entièrement libres de tous éléments d'appui, tels que des bâtons. En outre, il a été constaté que la pratique du surf se traduit par une traumatologie importante au niveau des poignets et des bras des utilisateurs, dans la mesure où, en cas de chute, l'utilisateur d'un surf tend, compte tenu de sa position oblique sur le surf, à tomber violemment, notamment en avant, ou en arrière dans le cas de débutants.However, he cannot use this contact to gain support. against snow, as long as his hands are completely free from all supporting elements, such as sticks. In addition, it was found that the practice of surfing results in significant trauma at the level wrists and arms of users, to the extent that, in the event of fall, the user of a surfboard tends, given its oblique position on the surf, to fall violently, in particular in front, or behind in the beginners case.
Le but de l'invention est de fournir un accessoire pour engin de glisse sur neige, destiné à être tenu par une main de l'utilisateur de l'engin, permettant à celui-ci, d'une part, de réaliser des appuis sur la neige et, d'autre part, de préserver ses poignets et ses bras en cas de chute.The object of the invention is to provide an accessory for a glides on snow, intended to be held by one hand of the user of the machine, allowing it, on the one hand, to carry out support on the to preserve his wrists and his arms in the event of fall.
A cet effet, l'accessoire qu'elle concerne, est constitué par une planchette, dont la face inférieure forme une surface de glissement et dont la face supérieure est équipée de moyens de préhension par une main de l'utilisateur de l'engin, ces moyens de préhension présentant une fonction d'amortissement.To this end, the accessory which it concerns, is constituted by a board, the underside of which forms a sliding surface and the the upper face is equipped with gripping means by a hand of the user of the machine, these gripping means having a function depreciation.
Chaque main de l'utilisateur est équipée d'un accessoire. Cet accessoire permet, lors d'une angulation importante, de prendre appui sur la neige, ce qui permet d'augmenter le nombre de figures effectuées lors d'un virage à l'aide d'un surf. En cas de chute, les moyens de préhension de la planchette réalisent un amortissement au niveau du poignet de l'utilisateur, limitant ainsi les risques de traumatisme du bras. Each user's hand is equipped with an accessory. This accessory allows, during a significant angulation, to lean on snow, which increases the number of tricks performed during a turn using a surf. In the event of a fall, the gripping means of the board provide cushioning at the wrist the user, thus limiting the risk of trauma to the arm.
Suivant une première forme d'exécution de cet accessoire, les moyens de préhension sont constitués par une poignée inclinée par rapport à la face supérieure de la planchette, c'est-à-dire qui n'est pas perpendiculaire à celle-ci, et dont l'angle avec la face supérieure de la planchette peut varier pour fournir un amortissement élastique.According to a first embodiment of this accessory, the gripping means consist of a handle inclined relative to on the upper face of the board, that is, which is not perpendicular to it, and whose angle with the upper face of the clipboard can vary to provide elastic cushioning.
Conformément à une première possibilité dans ce cas, la planchette est réalisée en matière synthétique et obtenue par moulage en même temps que la poignée, la souplesse de la matière permettant une variation de l'inclinaison de la poignée par rapport à la planchette en fonction de la force exercée sur la poignée.In accordance with a first possibility in this case, the board is made of synthetic material and obtained by molding in at the same time as the handle, the flexibility of the material allowing a variation of the inclination of the handle relative to the board in depending on the force exerted on the handle.
Cet accessoire peut donc être réalisé par moulage de matière synthétique en une seule pièce, l'élasticité de matière associée à un amincissement de l'épaisseur au niveau de la ligne de liaison entre le corps de la poignée et la planchette permettant d'obtenir la souplesse souhaitée.This accessory can therefore be produced by molding of material synthetic in one piece, the elasticity of material associated with a thinning of the thickness at the connection line between the body of the handle and the board to obtain the desired flexibility.
Suivant une autre forme d'exécution dans ce cas, la poignée est réalisée en un matériau rigide, et est articulée autour d'un axe, un élément élastique, tel qu'un ressort ou un bloc de matière synthétique souple, étant interposé entre la face supérieure de la planchette et la poignée.According to another embodiment in this case, the handle is made of a rigid material, and is articulated around an axis, a elastic element, such as a spring or block of synthetic material flexible, being interposed between the upper face of the board and the handle.
La planchette et la poignée peuvent être réalisées en une seule pièce, ou indépendamment, et articulées l'une sur l'autre à l'aide d'un axe rapporté, ou par encastrement dans la planchette, l'amortissement étant obtenu à l'aide d'un élément élastique, tel qu'un ressort ou un bloc de matière synthétique souple.The board and the handle can be made in one piece, or independently, and articulated one on the other using a pin added, or by embedding in the board, depreciation being obtained using an elastic element, such as a spring or a block of flexible synthetic material.
Suivant une autre forme d'exécution de cet accessoire, la poignée est réalisée en un matériau souple.According to another embodiment of this accessory, the handle is made of a flexible material.
Il peut s'agir d'un bloc de matière synthétique dont au moins la zone de liaison avec la planchette est réalisée en un matériau souple procurant des caractéristiques d'amortissement.It can be a block of synthetic material of which at least the connection area with the board is made of a flexible material providing depreciation characteristics.
Suivant une autre caractéristique, la poignée est constituée par deux pièces télescopiques à l'encontre de l'action de moyens élastiques, dont l'une est fixée sur la planchette et dont l'autre sert à la préhension par l'utilisateur.According to another characteristic, the handle is constituted by two telescopic parts against the action of elastic means, one of which is fixed on the board and the other of which is used for gripping by the user.
Afin de faciliter les évolutions de l'utilisateur, la planchette comporte au moins une spatule à l'une de ses extrémités. La face inférieure de la planchette peut également présenter une nervure longitudinale favorisant son guidage sur la neige.To facilitate user development, the clipboard has at least one spatula at one of its ends. The face bottom of the board may also have a rib longitudinal favoring its guidance on snow.
Avantageusement, dans le cas où la poignée est inclinée, celle-ci est montée sur la planchette à proximité du bord arrière et d'un bord latéral de celle-ci, et est inclinée de l'arrière vers l'avant et du bord de montage sur la planchette vers l'autre bord.Advantageously, in the case where the handle is inclined, it is mounted on the board near the rear edge and an edge side of it, and is inclined from back to front and from the edge of mounting on the board towards the other edge.
Afin d'éviter de perdre l'accessoire, ou de permettre la tenue de celui-ci, lors de l'utilisation de remontées mécaniques, la poignée est équipée de moyens de retenue d'une main de l'utilisateur, tels qu'une dragonne ou une coque en matière synthétique. Pour des raisons de sécurité, lorsque les moyens de retenue sont constitués par une dragonne, celle-ci peut être du type ouvrant sous l'effet d'une contrainte, pour éviter d'exercer une traction dangereuse sur le bras correspondant de l'utilisateur, lorsque la planchette est, par exemple, retenue par un obstacle.In order to avoid losing the accessory, or to allow the holding of this one, when using ski lifts, the handle is equipped with means for retaining one hand of the user, such as a wrist strap or plastic shell. For reasons of security, when the retaining means consist of a wrist strap, this can be of the opening type under the effect of a constraint, to avoid to exert a dangerous pull on the corresponding arm of the user, when the board is, for example, retained by a obstacle.
De toute façon, l'invention sera bien comprise à l'aide de la
description qui suit, en référence au dessin schématique annexé
représentant, à titre d'exemple non limitatif, une forme d'exécution de cet
accessoire :
L'accessoire représenté au dessin comprend une planchette 2
et une poignée 3, faisant saillie de la face supérieure 4 de la planchette. La
planchette 2 et la poignée 3 sont obtenues par moulage d'une seule pièce
de matière synthétique.The accessory shown in the drawing includes a board 2
and a
La planchette 2 présente une face inférieure 5 constituant une

longitudinale.The board 2 has a
La poignée 3 est reliée à la planchette 2 le long d'une ligne de
liaison 8 disposée à proximité du bord arrière 9 et d'un bord latéral 10 de
la planchette. La poignée 3 est inclinée de l'arrière vers l'avant, et du bord
latéral 10 vers le bord latéral 12 opposé.The
La poignée 3 est profilée, et équipée à proximité de son
extrémité supérieure d'une dragonne 13 à l'intérieur de laquelle l'utilisateur
glisse une main 14 destinée à réaliser la préhension de l'accessoire.The
L'utilisateur dispose d'un accessoire dans chaque main.
Compte tenu de leur profil, les accessoires peuvent servir à un appui
glissant sur la neige, ce qui augmente les possibilités d'évolution d'un
utilisateur de surf. En outre, compte tenu du montage élastique de la
poignée 3 sur la planchette 2, l'accessoire permet de protéger un bras de
l'utilisateur en cas de chute, la poignée étant susceptible de s'incliner
élastiquement par rapport à la planchette, comme montré en traits mixtes
à la figure 3.The user has an accessory in each hand.
Given their profile, the accessories can be used for support
sliding on snow, which increases the possibilities of evolution of a
surf user. In addition, given the elastic mounting of the
Comme il ressort de ce qui précède, l'invention fournit un accessoire permettant d'améliorer les conditions de la pratique d'un sport de glisse sur neige, d'une part, d'un point de vue sportif et, d'autre part, du point de vue de la sécurité.As is apparent from the above, the invention provides a accessory to improve the conditions for practicing a sport sliding on snow, on the one hand, from a sporting point of view and, on the other hand, from a security point of view.
Comme il va de soi, l'invention ne se limite pas à la seule forme d'exécution de cet accessoire, décrite ci-dessus à titre d'exemple, elle en embrasse au contraire toutes les variantes de réalisation. C'est ainsi notamment que la poignée pourrait être orientée non pas de l'intérieur vers l'extérieur, comme représenté au dessin, mais de l'extérieur vers l'intérieur, sans que l'on sorte pour autant du cadre de l'invention. Cet accessoire peut également être utilisé pour la pratique d'autres engins de glisse sur neige, notamment de skis paraboliques, de patinettes ou de miniskis.It goes without saying that the invention is not limited to the single form of this accessory, described above by way of example, it on the contrary embraces all variant embodiments. This is how in particular that the handle could be oriented not from the inside towards the outside, as shown in the drawing, but from the outside towards the interior, without departing from the scope of the invention. This accessory can also be used for the practice of other slides on snow, in particular parabolic skis, scooters or miniskis.
