Definitions

  • the invention relates to a sliding device comprising a support wall and a slips.
  • the machine is intended to be driven by the physical action of a user, with or without using gravity.
  • Such devices are generally used on slippery floors such as snow or ice, and sometimes on grass or sand.
  • the machine has a support wall intended to support the two feet of the user and a sliding wall provided for sliding.
  • the two walls are joined to each other so as to be opposite one another, and so as to provide a gap between a connecting face of the support wall and a connecting face of the sliding wall.
  • the walls have substantially the same length, and the support wall is wider than the sliding wall.
  • the machine sinks, sometimes until contact of the support wall with the ground, sometimes until total immersion. Whatever the level of penetration, again the snow accumulates between the walls to form a filling plug for the volume between the walls. This plug rubs itself on the snow while driving the machine, which slows down this latest. Also, the plug weighs down the machine. As a result, driving the craft is more difficult, because it requires more effort.
  • One of the aims of the invention is to facilitate the operation of the machine, in particular on ground soft or powdery.
  • the invention provides a sliding device comprising a support wall provided for support the two feet of a user and a sliding wall intended to slide, both walls facing each other so as to provide a gap between them, the walls having substantially the same length, the support wall being wider than the sliding wall.
  • the device according to the invention is characterized in that a closed volume is delimited between the support and sliding walls.
  • a first spatula of the support wall and a first spatula of the sliding wall join
  • a second spatula of the support wall and a second spatula of the sliding wall join
  • a first lateral edge connects a first edge of the sliding wall to a connecting face of the support wall
  • a second lateral edge connects a second edge of the sliding wall to the connecting face of the wall support.
  • a gliding device 1 comprises a support wall 2 designed to support both feet of the user and a sliding wall 3 scheduled to slide.
  • the two walls 2, 3 are opposite one another so as to provide a gap between them.
  • the machine 1 extends longitudinally from a first 4 to a second 5 limit, each of the limits 4, 5 can be considered as the rear or as the front.
  • Machine 1 extends transversely from a first 6 to a second 7 side, each of the sides 6, 7 can be considered as right side or left side.
  • the perimeter of the support wall 2 includes a first end 10, a first edge lateral 11, a second end 12, and a second lateral edge 13.
  • a top 14 of the support wall is provided to receive the feet of the user.
  • a mat 15 is preferably provided affixed to the top 14.
  • the mat 15 allows in particular a good adhesion of the feet or the shoes on the top 14. This facilitates the operation of the machine.
  • the mat 15 may consist of one or more layers of flexible materials with relatively high coefficient of friction.
  • a layer of flexible plastic foam, made with polyurethane, Ethylene Vinyl Acetate, or any comparable material, may be suitable.
  • the mat 15 is secured to the top 14 by any suitable means, such as gluing, stapling, sewing, riveting, a screwing or other.
  • the mat 15 covers substantially the entire top 14, but it could not cover only part.
  • mat 15 although shown in the form of a single piece, can include several parts juxtaposed or not.
  • the support wall 2 has, from the first 10 to the second 12 end, a first spatula 20, a first reception portion 21, a central portion 22, a second reception portion 23 and a second spatula 24.
  • Each spatula 20, 24 must be included as being an end portion raised from the support wall 2.
  • Each of the spatulas 20, 24 is shown in the form of a curved portion, the center or centers of curvature of which are on the side of the top 14. However, each of the spatulas could have a different structure, like that of a raised straight portion, or a curved raised portion, but whose the center (s) of curvature would be on the opposite side above 14.
  • Each reception portion 21, 23 must be understood as being a privileged portion to accommodate the feet of the user, when driving where the gliding device 1 remains in contact with snow over its entire length.
  • the feet can however be positioned on the entire surface of the support wall 2.
  • the support wall 2 is preferably made from a plastic material such as a polyoxymethylene, a polyethylene, an acetyl-butadiene-styrene, a polyurethane, or the like.
  • a plastic material such as a polyoxymethylene, a polyethylene, an acetyl-butadiene-styrene, a polyurethane, or the like.
  • other materials may be suitable.
  • it could be planned to use wood, in the form of glue-laminate or equivalent. It could still be provided to stack a reinforcement of composite material, a core of foam and / or wood, and a another reinforcement of composite material. Reinforcements can be covered with layers of protection against external aggressions, such as a layer of plastic.
  • the sliding wall 3 has a perimeter which includes a first end 25, a first side edge 26, a second end 27 and a second lateral edge 28.
  • a bottom 35 of the sliding wall 3 is provided for sliding on a support, the latter can be ice, snow, grass, synthetic fabric, or other.
  • the sliding wall 3 has, from the first 25 to the second 27 end, a first spatula 36, a central portion 37, and a second spatula 38.
  • each spatula 36, 38 should be understood as being a raised end portion of the sliding wall 3.
  • Each of the spatulas 36, 38 is represented in the form of a curved portion, the or the centers of curvature are located on the opposite side from below 35, this shape not being limiting.
  • the sliding wall 3 is preferably constituted by a plate made from a material plastic.
  • a material plastic for example a polyoxymethylene, a polyethylene, an acetyl-butadiene-styrene, a polyurethane, or whatever, might be suitable.
  • the sliding wall 3 could be constituted by a ski. She would for example formed by a vertical stack which can consist, from bottom to top, of a layer of glides, from a lower reinforcement, from a core, from an upper reinforcement, and possibly from a protective layer. This stack essentially comprises composite materials, and possibly wood. The edges 26, 28 and / or the ends 25, 27 of the sliding wall 3 may have edges.
  • the bearing 2 and sliding 3 walls have substantially the same length. Each wall 2, 3 may be slightly shorter, the same length, or longer than the other.
  • Wall support 2 is wider than the sliding wall 3.
  • the lateral edges 11, 13, of the support wall 2 are cantilevered with respect to the sliding wall 3.
  • An advantage which results therefrom is a reduction in fatigue during driving the machine 1. Thanks to the overhang the user can exercise with his feet a tilting torque of the machine. This allows the edge to be taken by pressing into the snow from one of the side edges 26, 28.
  • the first spatula 20 of the wall support 2 and the first spatula 36 of the sliding wall 3 join.
  • the second spatula 24 of the support wall 2 and the second spatula 38 of the sliding wall 3 join.
  • the first 20, 36 and the seconds 24, 38 spatulas are respectively tangent to each other and joined to each other the other.
  • the first 20, 36 and seconds 24, 38 spatulas overlap respectively to form a single end portion.
  • each portion has an aspect similar to that of spatulas.
  • each portion has a curvature, the centers are located on the top side 14 of the support wall 2. This structure gives the machine 1 good ability to make your way through the snow.
  • a first lateral edge 39 connects the first lateral edge 26 of the sliding wall 3 to a connecting face 40 of the support wall 2.
  • a second lateral edge 41 connects the second lateral edge 28 of the sliding wall 3 to the face of connection 40.
  • the top 14 and the connection face 40 define the thickness of the support wall 2.
  • the first 39 and second 41 edges close, in the transverse direction, the space between the support walls 2 and sliding 3.
  • a closed volume 42 is delimited between the bearing 2 and sliding 3 walls.
  • the closure of volume 42 prevents the accumulation of foreign bodies, such as snow, between the walls 2, 3. This is why the machine 1 does not weigh down while driving.
  • the edges 39, 41 respectively have a regular contact surface 43, 44 with snow. This promotes the sliding of the edges 39, 41, and of the machine 1 consequently, in the snow.
  • the support wall 2 has a central longitudinal opening 50 closed by a cover 51. This makes it possible to manufacture the gliding apparatus 1 in two parts main.
  • the first part includes the support wall 2, with the exception of the cover 51, the edges lateral 39, 41, the sliding wall 3, as well as, non-obligatorily, ribs 52, 53, 54 from the sliding wall and projecting towards the central opening 50.
  • An example of distribution of the ribs is visible in Figure 5.
  • the first part is preferably a single piece obtained for example by injection of a plastic material. Of course everything another manufacturing process could be suitable, such as assembling the different parts of the first part by any means.
  • the second part is in turn constituted by the cover 51.
  • the latter is preferably made from a plastic material.
  • the closure is preferably final. It can be carried out by any means such as than bonding, welding, or whatever.
  • the closure could be temporary.
  • the cover 51 can be screwed, snapped on, or affixed by any suitable means.
  • the closed volume 42 is thus delimited by the cover 51 on the side of the support wall 2.
  • This volume can remain hollow or be filled with a plastic foam or any equivalent material.
  • the nature of the filling plays a role in damping vibrations.
  • the mat in addition to its main function mentioned before, hides the peripheral limit 55 of the opening 50 and of the cover 51.
  • grooves guide In addition as seen in Figures 2 and 4, there are provided grooves guide. These grooves are formed on the underside side of the sliding wall 3. They are oriented lengthwise of the machine 1. They improve the stability of the machine by driving, especially when machine 1 slides flat on snow.
  • a profile is provided with edges, in order to facilitate stability in driving flat.
  • a concave rounded profile has been provided for the central edge, which can be useful when certain figures of speech. Indeed the user can take support with the bottom 35 on a relief itself rounded, such as that of a barrier.
  • the grooves extend both along the central portion 37 and in part at least along the tips 36, 38. This makes them efficient on all types of snow.
  • the second example is presented using FIG. 6. It relates to a gliding device 70 which includes a support wall 71 and a sliding wall 72.
  • the walls 71, 72 are connected to each other by a first lateral edge 73, a second lateral edge 74, and ribs 75, 76, 77 from the sliding wall 72.
  • the machine 70 comprises two parts main. However, these parts differ from those according to the first example.
  • the first one part includes the sliding wall 72, the side edges 73, 74, and the ribs 75, 76, 77.
  • the second part is formed by the support wall 71.
  • Each of the parts is preferably a monobloc piece.
  • the parts are assembled by any means to form the gliding apparatus 70.
  • the third example is presented using FIG. 7. It relates to a gliding device 90 which includes a bearing wall 91 and a sliding wall 92.
  • the machine 90 has two main parts. However, these parts differ from those according to previous examples.
  • the first part is the sliding wall 92, the second being the wall 91.
  • the parts are joined to each other by an intermediate layer 93 which extends between the walls 91, 92 opposite the sliding wall 92.
  • the intermediate layer can be made with any natural or synthetic material, such as cork, wood, foam plastic, or whatever.
  • the intermediate layer is joined to the walls by any means.
  • the invention can be made from all the materials used according to all the techniques known to those skilled in the art.
  • the machine is preferably substantially symmetrical longitudinally, that is to say by relative to a central transverse axis. It is also preferably substantially symmetrical transversely, with respect to a central longitudinal axis. So each limit 4, 5 of the craft can be front or rear.
  • the length of the machine 1, 70, 90 is preferably between 60 and 100 cm, its width between 15 and 30 cm, and its central height between 3 and 10 cm.
