Abstract
Description
L'invention se rapporte au domaine des engins de glisse comprenant une planche.The invention relates to the field of gliding machines comprising a board.
Ces engins sont utilisés pour la pratique de sports comme le surf sur neige ou snowboard, le surf sur eau ou wakeboard, ou autre.These machines are used for the practice of sports such as surfing on snow or snowboard, surfing on water or wakeboard, or other.
Un engin de glisse selon l'art antérieur comprend une planche qui présente une longueur mesurée selon une direction longitudinale entre une première extrémité et une deuxième extrémité, une largeur mesurée selon une direction transversale entre un premier bord et un deuxième bord, une hauteur mesurée entre une face de glisse et une face de réception, ainsi qu'une première et une deuxième zone d'accueil des pieds d'un utilisateur.A gliding apparatus according to the prior art comprises a board having a length measured in a longitudinal direction between a first end and a second end, a width measured in a direction transverse between a first edge and a second edge, a height measured between a sliding face and a receiving face, and a first and a second reception area of the feet of a user.
Pendant la conduite, les impulsions données par l'utilisateur engendrent des déformations de la planche, notamment en flexion selon un axe transversal et en torsion selon un axe longitudinal.During driving, the pulses given by the user generate deformations of the board, in particular in bending along a transverse axis and in torsion along a longitudinal axis.
Pour conférer à la planche des caractéristiques mécaniques données, il est connu de lui donner une structure telle que son relief varie transversalement dans certaines zones autres que les zones d'accueil des pieds.To give the board of the given mechanical characteristics, it is known to give it a structure such that its relief varies transversely in certain areas other than the reception areas of the feet.
Par exemple, on peut prévoir une zone centrale de la planche à section sensiblement triangulaire, dont la base est la face de glisse, et dont un sommet est vers le milieu de la face de réception. Dans cette zone, une telle structure permet d'accroître la résistance en flexion selon un axe transversal et de réduire la résistance en torsion selon un axe longitudinal de la planche.For example, it is possible to provide a central zone of the board with a substantially triangular section, whose base is the sliding face, and whose apex is towards the middle of the receiving face. In this zone, such a structure makes it possible to increase the bending strength along a transverse axis and to reduce the torsional strength along a longitudinal axis of the board.
Dans le cas du snowboard, cette structure rend la planche facile à conduire notamment sur des surfaces planes et dures.In the case of snowboarding, this structure makes the board easy to drive, especially on flat and hard surfaces.
Bien entendu, d'autres formes de section peuvent être envisagées pour conférer à la planche des caractéristiques données. Cependant, les zones d'accueil des pieds ont une surface relativement plane. Cela permet le placement d'une chaussure sur la face de réception, que ce soit directement ou par l'intermédiaire d'une embase.Of course, other forms of section may be considered to give the board characteristics given. However, the reception areas of the feet have a relatively flat surface. This allows the placement of a shoe on the receiving face, either directly or via a base.
Dans le cas du snowboard, il est fréquent que l'embase fasse partie d'un dispositif de retenue de la chaussure. L'embase présente une face d'appui plane qui prend appui sur la face de réception de la planche dans une zone d'accueil.In the case of snowboarding, it is common that the base is part of a restraint of the shoe. The base has a flat bearing face which bears on the receiving face of the board in a reception area.
Dans tous les cas, l'utilisateur est à même de transmettre facilement des impulsions de conduite avec les pieds pour conduire la planche. Cette dernière fléchit ou se tord en corrélation avec les impulsions.In any case, the user is able to easily transmit driving pulses with the feet to drive the board. The latter flexes or twists in correlation with the impulses.
Etant donné que pour accueillir les pieds de l'utilisateur elles présentent une surface relativement plane, les zones d'accueil ne participent pas à la détermination des caractéristiques mécaniques de la planche, notamment en ce qui concerne la déformation en flexion selon un axe transversal et/ou en torsion selon un axe longitudinal.Since to accommodate the feet of the user they have a relatively flat surface, the reception areas do not participate in the determination of the mechanical characteristics of the board, especially as regards the bending deformation along a transverse axis and or in torsion along a longitudinal axis.
Un snowboard selon le préambule de la revendication 1 est connu du document FR-A-2 789 323.A snowboard according to the preamble of
L'invention a notamment pour but de faire participer les zones d'accueil des pieds à la détermination des caractéristiques mécaniques de la planche.The invention particularly aims to involve the reception areas of the feet to the determination of the mechanical characteristics of the board.
Pour cela, l'invention propose un engin de glisse selon la revendication 1.For this, the invention proposes a gliding machine according to
La variation transversale du relief d'une zone d'accueil de la planche confère à la zone des caractéristiques mécaniques données.The transverse variation of the relief of a reception zone of the board confers on the zone of the given mechanical characteristics.
La cale, par sa forme complémentaire à la face de réception de la planche dans une zone d'accueil, se monte de manière stable sur la planche. Par suite une chaussure ou l'embase d'une fixation appuie de manière stable sur la planche dans les zones d'accueil, et la cale fournit par sa face de réception une zone d'appui plane, pour la chaussure ou l'embase de la fixation.The wedge, by its complementary shape to the receiving face of the board in a reception area, is mounted stably on the board. As a result, a shoe or the base of a binding is stably supported on the board in the reception areas, and the wedge provides by its receiving face a flat support zone for the shoe or the base of fixation.
L'utilisation d'une ou plusieurs cales présente l'avantage de donner une liberté de conception pour la structure de la planche, sans gêner l'accueil d'une chaussure ou d'une embase sur la planche.The use of one or more shims has the advantage of giving design freedom for the structure of the board, without hindering the reception of a shoe or a base on the board.
D'autres caractéristiques et avantages de l'invention seront mieux compris à l'aide de la description qui va suivre, en regard du dessin annexé illustrant, par des exemples non limitatifs, comment l'invention peut être réalisée, et dans lequel :
- la figure 1 est une vue en perspective partiellement éclatée d'un engin de glisse ou de roulage, selon un premier exemple de réalisation de l'invention,
- la figure 2 est une vue en perspective d'une partie d'une cale vue du côté de sa face d'appui, selon le premier exemple,
- la figure 3 est une coupe selon III-III de la figure 1,
- la figure 4 est une coupe similaire à la figure 3, pour un deuxième exemple de réalisation.

- FIG. 3 is a section along III-III of FIG. 1,
- Figure 4 is a section similar to Figure 3 for a second embodiment.
Le premier exemple est décrit ci-après à l'aide des figures 1 à 3.The first example is described below using Figures 1 to 3.
De manière connue comme on le voit sur la figure 1, un engin de glisse 1 comprend une planche 2. Cette dernière présente une longueur mesurée selon une direction longitudinale L1 entre une première extrémité 3 et une deuxième extrémité 4.In known manner as seen in Figure 1, a
La planche 2 présente également une largeur mesurée selon une direction transversale entre un premier bord latéral 5 et un deuxième bord latéral 6, ainsi qu'une hauteur mesurée entre une face de glisse 7 et une face de réception 8.The
Bien entendu, la direction transversale est perpendiculaire à la direction longitudinale L1, et parallèle à la face de glisse 7.Of course, the transverse direction is perpendicular to the longitudinal direction L1, and parallel to the sliding
Comme on le voit sur la figure 3 la planche 2 comprend dans le sens de sa hauteur, par exemple, un empilement d'une couche de glisse 9, d'un premier renfort 10, d'un noyau 11, d'un deuxième renfort 12 et d'une couche de protection 13.As can be seen in FIG. 3, the
Bien entendu, il pourrait être prévu d'autres structures pour réaliser la planche 1, telle qu'une enveloppe en plastique moulé ou autre.Of course, other structures could be provided to make the
En référence à nouveau à la figure 1, la planche 2 présente également, de la première extrémité 3 à la deuxième extrémité 4, une première zone d'extrémité 20, une première ligne de contact W1, une première zone intermédiaire 21, une première zone d'accueil 22, une zone centrale 23, une deuxième zone d'accueil 24, une deuxième zone intermédiaire 25, une deuxième ligne de contact W2 et une deuxième zone d'extrémité 26. Chaque zone d'accueil 22, 24 est destinée à recevoir respectivement un dispositif de retenue d'un pied d'un utilisateur. Pour des raisons de commodité, les dispositifs ne sont pas représentés.Referring again to FIG. 1, the
Il peut être prévu dans chaque zone d'accueil 22, 24 un moyen d'ancrage du dispositif de retenue. Ce moyen d'ancrage est représenté sous la forme d'un ensemble de trous filetés 27. Cependant toute autre structure, telle qu'une rainure élargie à sa base, pourrait convenir.It can be provided in each
Selon l'invention, au moins l'une des zones d'accueil 22, 24 de la planche 2 présente un relief qui varie transversalement.According to the invention, at least one of the
Comme on le voit sur la figure 3 pour la deuxième zone d'accueil 24, la hauteur de la planche 2 est plus importante vers le milieu qu'au niveau des bords 5, 6. Dans cette zone 24 la face de réception 8 est formée par deux pans 35, 36, qui se rejoignent vers le milieu de la planche 2 pour former un sommet 37.As can be seen in FIG. 3 for the
Ce dernier est représenté sous la forme d'une arête légèrement arrondie, mais il pourrait être constitué par une arête vive, ou au contraire par une bande plus large. Dans ce cas la bande pourrait être parallèle à la face de glisse 7, ou former un angle avec elle.The latter is represented in the form of a slightly rounded edge, but it could be constituted by a sharp edge, or on the contrary by a wider band. In this case the strip could be parallel to the
Chaque pan 35, 36 est représenté sous la forme d'une face sensiblement plane, mais il aurait pu être convexe, concave, ou encore présenter lui-même un relief tel qu'une ondulation, des stries, ou toute autre forme de creux ou de saillie.Each
Comme on le voit sur la figure 1, l'engin de glisse 1 comprend une première cale 40 disposée dans la première zone d'accueil 22, et une deuxième cale 41 disposée dans la deuxième zone d'accueil 24.As can be seen in FIG. 1, the
Chaque cale 40, 41 est un élément intermédiaire entre la planche 2 et la chaussure ou un dispositif de retenue de la chaussure. Cet élément peut être monobloc ou formé de plusieurs parties distinctes.Each
En l'occurrence pour le premier exemple la première cale 40 comprend une première partie 42 et une deuxième partie 43, et la deuxième cale 41 comprend une première partie 44 et une deuxième partie 45.In this case, for the first example, the
Comme on le voit sur la figure 3 la première partie 44 de la deuxième cale 41 présente une face d'appui 46 opposée à une face de réception 47, et la deuxième partie 45 de la deuxième cale 41 présente une face d'appui 48 opposée à une face de réception 49.As can be seen in FIG. 3, the
Chaque face d'appui 46, 48 de la deuxième cale 41 présente une forme complémentaire à la face de réception 8 de la planche 2, telle que définie dans la deuxième zone d'accueil 24.Each bearing
Ainsi des nervures 55, 56, 57 et 58, 59, 60 des faces d'appui 46, 48, des deux parties 44, 45 de la deuxième cale 41, sont en appui sur la face de réception 8 de la planche 2. Les extrémités des nervures 55, 56, 57 et 58, 59, 60 constituent respectivement les surfaces d'appui des parties 44, 45 de la cale 41 sur la planche 2. Etant donné que les pans 35, 36 sont sensiblement plats, les extrémités des nervures 55, 56, 57 et 58, 59, 60 sont contenues respectivement dans un plan. Bien entendu, l'emploi de nervures n'est pas obligatoire, et les faces d'appui 46, 48 auraient pu être planes.Thus ribs 55, 56, 57 and 58, 59, 60 of the bearing faces 46, 48, of the two
Comme le montre la figure 2 dans le cas de la première partie 44 de la deuxième cale 41, les nervures du côté de la face d'appui 46 confèrent à cette face un aspect alvéolé. Le fait de réaliser des nervures sur la face d'appui 46, 48 permet d'alléger la cale.As shown in Figure 2 in the case of the
En référence à nouveau à la figure 3, chaque partie 44, 45 de la deuxième cale 41 présente la forme générale d'un coin. Ces parties 44, 45 sont dimensionnées de façon que les faces de réception 47, 49 des parties 44, 45 de la cale 41 soient sensiblement coplanaires.Referring again to Figure 3, each
De préférence les faces de réception 47, 49 de la deuxième cale 41 sont en saillie par rapport au sommet 37 de la face de réception 8. Cela facilite le montage d'un dispositif de retenue dans la deuxième zone d'accueil 24 de la planche 2.Preferably the receiving faces 47, 49 of the
Les parties 44, 45 sont solidarisées à la planche 2 par tout moyen. De préférence il est prévu un moyen de solidarisation non amovible tel qu'un collage, une soudure ou autre. Pour la soudure la cale 41 et la couche de protection 13 de la planche 2 peuvent être de même nature, ou de natures compatibles. Ainsi une fusion localisée, par exemple par ultrasons ou à l'aide d'un solvant, permet la soudure de la cale sur la planche. Les matériaux employés peuvent être une matière synthétique à base de polyuréthane, un acétyle butadiène styrène, ou autre.The
Bien entendu, il peut être prévu que le moyen de solidarisation de la cale 41 à la planche 2 soit amovible. Il peut être réalisé par encliquetage, avec des vis, tout montage à force, ou autre.Of course, it can be provided that the securing means of the
Bien entendu ce qui a été décrit pour la deuxième zone d'accueil 24 s'applique à la première zone d'accueil 22.Of course, what has been described for the
Comme on le voit bien sur la figure 1, le profil des deux zones d'accueil 22, 24 de la planche est d'une forme triangulaire sensiblement identique. Ce profil confère à la planche 2, dans les zones d'accueil 22, 24, des caractéristiques mécaniques données. En l'occurrence le profil triangulaire accroît la rigidité en flexion selon un axe transversal de la planche 2, et réduit la rigidité en torsion selon un axe longitudinal de la planche 2.As can be seen in FIG. 1, the profile of the two
L'emploi des cales 40, 41 a permis de donner aux zones d'accueil 22, 24 ces caractéristiques spécifiques tout en permettant un appui plan pour le pied ou pour le dispositif de retenue.The use of the
De manière complémentaire la zone centrale 23 de la planche 2 présente également un relief qui varie transversalement.Complementarily, the
Selon le premier exemple le relief de la zone centrale 23 est sensiblement le même que celui des zones d'accueil 22, 24. Ainsi la structure de la planche 2 est sensiblement uniforme le long des trois zones d'accueil 22, 24 et centrale 23. Cela permet de décliner des caractéristiques mécaniques spécifiques sur toute la partie de la planche 2 qui s'étend d'un pied à l'autre de l'utilisateur. Là encore le profil triangulaire de la zone centrale 23 accroît la rigidité en flexion et réduit la rigidité en torsion. La zone centrale 23 peut éventuellement présenter un profil triangulaire dont la section évolue progressivement entre les deux zones d'accueil 22, 24.According to the first example, the relief of the
Le deuxième exemple de réalisation de l'invention va être décrit après à l'aide de la figure 4. Pour des raisons de commodité, seules les différences par rapport au premier exemple sont mises en évidence.The second embodiment of the invention will be described later with the help of Figure 4. For reasons of convenience, only the differences from the first example are highlighted.
Pour le deuxième exemple selon la figure 4, un engin de glisse 70 comprend une planche 71 et une cale 72.For the second example according to FIG. 4, a gliding
La planche 71 présente un relief qui varie transversalement, avec deux pans 73, 74 qui se rejoignent pour former un sommet 75 dans une zone d'accueil 76.The
La cale 72 est représentée sous la forme d'une pièce monobloc. Elle présente une face d'appui 77 opposée à une face de réception 78.The
La face d'appui 77 présente une forme complémentaire à la face de réception de la planche 71 telle que définie dans la zone d'accueil 76.The bearing
La face de réception 78 est sensiblement plane pour accueillir une chaussure ou un dispositif de retenue. La face de réception 78 est parallèle à la planche 71, mais elle pourrait être inclinée et former un angle avec celle-ci.The receiving
Pour tous les exemples l'invention est réalisée à partir de matériaux et selon des techniques de mise en oeuvre connus de l'homme du métier.For all the examples, the invention is made from materials and according to implementation techniques known to those skilled in the art.
Bien entendu, l'invention n'est pas limitée aux exemples de réalisation ci-avant décrits, et comprend tous les équivalents techniques pouvant entrer dans la portée des revendications qui vont suivre.Of course, the invention is not limited to the embodiments described above, and includes all technical equivalents that fall within the scope of the claims that follow.
En particulier les sections transversales de la planche peuvent être très diverses le long de la planche, et les formes des cales peuvent également être diverses.In particular the cross sections of the board can be very diverse along the board, and wedge shapes can also be diverse.
Dans tous les cas, la face d'appui de la cale peut être complémentaire à la face de réception de la planche en partie seulement.In all cases, the bearing face of the wedge may be complementary to the receiving face of the board only in part.
L'invention permet en fait de faire évoluer très librement la section transversale de la planche en fonction des effets recherchés, tout en garantissant un appui stable des pieds.The invention makes it possible to change very freely the cross section of the board according to the desired effects, while ensuring a stable support feet.
Il peut être également prévu des matériaux différents pour les cales ou des parties des cales.It may also be provided different materials for the holds or parts of the holds.
Pour le premier exemple on peut prévoir une première cale 40 souple pour la première zone d'accueil 22, et une deuxième cale 41 plus dure que la première pour la deuxième zone d'accueil 24. Cela différencie la nature des impulsions de conduite pour chaque extrémité 3, 4 de la planche 2.For the first example, a first
On peut aussi prévoir que les premières parties 42, 44 des cales vers le premier bord latéral 5 de la planche 2 soient souples, alors que les deuxièmes parties 43, 45 des cales vers le deuxième bord latéral 6 de la planche 2 sont plus dures que les premières.
