Abstract

A ski having a sandwich-like construction including rods and slit stops for changing a radial geometry of the ski. When the ski flexes, the rods and the ski change their respective radii differentially, causing changes in the slit stops. In turn, the slit stops spread or constrict to change maneuvering characteristics of the ski.

Description

Titre:Title:
Ski et Snowboard à géométrie radiale variable.Ski and Snowboard with variable radial geometry.
Domaine:Field:
Ski alpin et snowboardAlpine skiing and snowboarding
Description:Description:
Ci-dessous "ski" = par analogie snowboard.Below "ski" = by analogy snowboard.
L'invention se compose de quatre éléments de base.The invention consists of four basic elements.
* Les premiers étant deux tiges (1) en matière flexible et non compressible dont une des extrémités est composée d'un tendeur et l'autre d'une partie conique.* The first being two rods (1) made of flexible and non-compressible material, one end of which is composed of a tensioner and the other of a conical part.
* Le deuxième élément est une butée fendue (2) est constitué d'une pièce rapportée où intégrée au ski sur sa surface supérieure à la hauteur de la spatule ou du talon, ou des deux. Cette pièce est en forme d'aile de raie fendue partiellement par le centre et comprenant un alésage conique dans l'axe du ski prévu pour recevoir l'extrémité conique de la pièce (1).* The second element is a split stop (2) consists of an insert where integrated into the ski on its surface greater than the height of the tip or heel, or both. This part is in the form of a stripe wing split partially through the center and comprising a conical bore in the axis of the ski intended to receive the conical end of the part (1).
* Le troisième est un système de tendeur (3) situé sur l'axe de la tige (1) et qui permet d'ajuster la longueur active de celle-ci.* The third is a tensioner system (3) located on the axis of the rod (1) and which makes it possible to adjust the active length of the latter.
* Le dernier élément (4) est un ou plusieurs guides placés le long du ski pour stabiliser la tige (D-* The last element (4) is one or more guides placed along the ski to stabilize the rod (D-
* Mécaniquement, la modification de la géométrie radiale du ski est engendrée lors de la flexion longitudinale de celui-ci. Cette flexion provoque une modification différente des rayons de la tige et du ski ce qui entraîne une avancée de la partie conique de la tige 1 dans l'alésage conique de la partie 2 . Ce mouvement provoque l' ouverture de la partie 2 en agissant directement sur la géométrie radiale du ski. Les avantages de cette invention :* Mechanically, the modification of the radial geometry of the ski is generated during the longitudinal bending of the latter. This bending causes a different modification of the radii of the rod and of the ski, which leads to an advance of the conical part of the rod 1 in the conical bore of the part 2. This movement causes the opening of part 2 by acting directly on the radial geometry of the ski. The advantages of this invention:
1. A plat la géométrie radiale du ski est légèrement convexe tandis qu'en courbe cette géométrie devient progressivement concave. Ce qui améliore le comportement du ski en conduite et facilite son déclenchement.1. When flat, the radial geometry of the ski is slightly convex while on a curve, this geometry becomes progressively concave. This improves the behavior of the ski while driving and makes it easier to start.
2. Offre la possibilité d'adapter les caractéristiques du ski aux conditions, par un réglage de la longueur active de la tige ou par son remplacement par une tige mieux adaptée.2. Offers the possibility of adapting the characteristics of the ski to the conditions, by adjusting the active length of the rod or by replacing it with a more suitable rod.
3. Atténue les vibrations par l'ensemble de cette construction. Une géométrie favorisant un rendement optimal du ski dans toutes les situations.3. Attenuates vibrations by the whole of this construction. A geometry favoring optimal ski performance in all situations.
4. L'effet "carving" est accentué pour une taille semblable.4. The "carving" effect is accentuated for a similar size.
Réalisation de l'inventionRealization of the invention
Elle est représentée par les croquis A,B,C.It is represented by sketches A, B, C.
1. Construction des deux tiges en fibre de carbone (1). A l'une des extrémités est collé un cône métallique à l'autre une douille collée et comportant un filetage extérieur.1. Construction of the two carbon fiber rods (1). At one end is glued a metal cone to the other a glued socket and having an external thread.
2. La pièce (2) en forme d'aile de raie est en matière composite réalisée par moulage et intégrée au ski par collage. Son alésage conique est un élément rapporté résistant à l'usure.2. The part (2) in the form of a stripe wing is made of composite material produced by molding and integrated into the ski by gluing. Its tapered bore is a wear-resistant insert.
3. La pièce (3) est un tendeur muni d'un filetage venant se viser sur la tige (1) et prenant appui sur la plaque du ski ou la fixation.3. The part (3) is a tensioner provided with a thread coming to be aimed at the rod (1) and bearing on the ski plate or the binding.
4. Guides de tiges en matière synthétique (4) et collés sur la face supérieur du ski.4. Synthetic rod guides (4) and glued to the upper face of the ski.
5. Les pièces (2) et (4) sont fixées sur le ski aux endroits déterminés, puis les tiges (1) et les tendeurs (3) sont montés. Dessin (B). La longueur active étant ajustée par les tendeurs (3). 5. The parts (2) and (4) are fixed to the ski at the determined locations, then the rods (1) and the tensioners (3) are mounted. Drawing (B). The active length being adjusted by the tensioners (3).

Claims

Revendication indépendante Independent claim
1. Ski de construction sandwich ou monocoque, caractérisé par l'addition d'un système mécanique modifiant la géométrie radiale proportionnellement à la flexion du ski.1. Sandwich or monocoque construction ski, characterized by the addition of a mechanical system modifying the radial geometry in proportion to the flexion of the ski.
L'avancement de la tige dans la butées fendue provoque l'écartement de celle-ci et de ce fait la modification de la géométrie de la face inférieure du ski. L'avancement de la tige est généré par la différence des rayons de la tige et du ski lors de sa flexion.The advancement of the rod in the slotted stops causes the spacing thereof and therefore the modification of the geometry of the underside of the ski. The advancement of the rod is generated by the difference in the radii of the rod and of the ski during its bending.
Revendications dépendantesDependent claims
2. Ski selon la revendication 1 , caractérisé en ce que les tiges peuvent être multiples.2. Ski according to claim 1, characterized in that the rods can be multiple.
3. Ski selon la revendication 1 , caractérisé en ce que les butées peuvent être multiples.3. Ski according to claim 1, characterized in that the stops can be multiple.
4. Ski selon la revendication 1 , caractérisé en ce que la tige soit d'une pièce sur toute la longueur du ski.4. Ski according to claim 1, characterized in that the rod is in one piece over the entire length of the ski.
5. Ski selon la revendication 1, caractérisé en ce que la forme de la tige soit variable.5. Ski according to claim 1, characterized in that the shape of the rod is variable.
6. Ski selon la revendication 1, caractérisé en ce que la fixation soit fixée sur les tiges.6. Ski according to claim 1, characterized in that the binding is fixed on the rods.
7. Ski selon la revendication 1 , caractérisé en ce que la tige soit uniquement prise entre les deux butées.7. Ski according to claim 1, characterized in that the rod is only taken between the two stops.
8. Ski selon la revendication 1 , caractérisé en ce que le système soie intégré sous la surface supérieure du ski.8. Ski according to claim 1, characterized in that the silk system integrated under the upper surface of the ski.
9. Ski selon la revendication 1 , caractérisé en ce que la butée agisse comme une coulisse, ce qui fait travailler la butée autant quant la tige avance dans la butée (écartement de la butée) que quant la tige recul dans la butée (resserrement de la butée). 9. Ski according to claim 1, characterized in that the stopper acts as a slide, which makes the stopper work as much as the rod advances in the stopper (spacing of the stopper) than when the rod moves back into the stopper (tightening of stop).
