Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for modifying the radial geometry of a ski, and this, in proportion to the flexion of this ski and so that it gradually becomes concave as the ski is bending during its use.
  • the invention also relates to a ski equipped with this device.
  • the device works regardless of the construction technique composite of the ski ("sandwich", monocoque or other).
  • ski any blade used to support and slide on the snow, that is to say actually a ski as such, but also a monoski, a snowboard or other.
  • mechanical device for modifying the radial geometry of a ski designates a device exploiting the relative displacement of at least one rod oriented substantially longitudinally to the ski for, in a chosen zone of this ski, to provoke a deformation of the ski according to its cross section and cause the modification searched for the geometry of its lower face.
  • FR-A-2794374 which also discloses a ski in Variable geometry is used for the two-part form of the independent claim.
  • This device is designed so that during said bending of the ski, the cross-section of the ski becomes wider, especially at the level of a ends of said ski.
  • This device does not therefore make it possible to modify the geometry of the face lower a ski so that it gradually becomes concave as and when as the ski is bent during its use.
  • the radial geometry of the ski for example slightly convex when the ski is laid flat on a support, becomes gradually concave, as the ski is flexed during its use, because of a support developed by a skier in the game median of this ski and the grip reactions developed by the support, forward and backward of this middle part and especially at the level of the spatula and heel of the ski.
  • This modification or adaptation of the radial geometry of the ski in bending stress function helps improve behavior skiing and its performance.
  • the presence of said device on a ski also serves to mitigate the vibrations of this ski.
  • the device allows to adapt the ski to the quality of the snow and / or the requirements of the user.
  • a result that the invention aims to obtain is a device of the type mentioned above, which makes it possible to perfectly control the longitudinal dimension of each part of the ski in which the radial geometry must be modified.
  • Another result that the invention seeks to obtain is a device of the aforementioned type which, after removal of a bending stress having caused a modification of the radial geometry of the ski, guarantees the restoration of the radial geometry in its initial state.
  • the invention also relates to a ski equipped with this device.
  • ski 5 equipped with at least one device 6 for modifying its radial geometry.
  • the ski 5 has been drawn transversely dilated with to allow a schematic representation and including, in particular, functional blocks as functional means.
  • the modification device 6 of the radial geometry of the ski 5 is essentially at the level of at least one of the extreme parts 55, 56 of the ski 5 and preferably both.
  • the modification device 6 comprises at least one rod 1 non-compressible material and this rod 1 is oriented substantially longitudinally to the ski 5 and guided in translation in this direction, by a guiding means 4 for this purpose.
  • the rod 1 comprises carbon fibers retained in a matrix of polymeric material.
  • the rod 1 may be of flattened section, but this is not limiting.
  • the guiding means 4 is, advantageously, constituted by the flanks of a groove below the level of the upper surface 51 of the ski 5 to house the rod 1, and this, on at least a fraction of the length of this rod 1.
  • the guiding means 4 could also be constituted by parts, of synthetic or other material, attached and fixed on the surface upper 51 of the ski 5.
  • the rod 1 cooperates substantially at the level of one of its 101 opposite ends 101, 102, with a translational stop 103 associated with said ski 5 so that the flexion of this ski 5 causes a relative movement of the rod 5 towards one of the extreme parts of the ski 5.
  • the end 101 of the rod 1 which cooperates with the stopper in translation 103 is said passive end 101 and the opposite end 102 of the rod 1 is said active end 102.
  • each stop stop stop in translation 103 is located in the zone of the attachment means 8 of a boot (not shown) on the ski 5.
  • the rod 1 also flexes.
  • the stem 1 extends, at least in part, out of a plane of the ski 5 which contains the fiber said neutral of this ski 5.
  • the ski 5 and the rod 1 bend according to a radius curvature of their own.
  • FIGS. 2 and 3 a solution consisting of local thinning the thickness of the ski 5 is symbolized.
  • each element of transmission 2 is constituted and acts in the manner of a connecting rod, that is to say that consists of a piece resistant to compression and articulated on the rod 1 and on the ski 5.
  • the rod 1 and the ski 5 have notches and each transmission element 2 has ends that are shaped from to fit in these notches.
  • the adaptation of a ski to the conditions of the environment can be performed by replacing each rod 1, for example, with a rod 1 more long or shorter and / or more rigid or less rigid than that in place.
  • the modification device 6 comprises a adjusting means 9 of the useful length of each rod 1 that it comprises, that is to say the length of the rod 1 between, on the one hand, the stop stop in translation 103 with which it cooperates and, on the other hand, the row of elements transmission 2 with which the rod 1 cooperates.
  • this adjustment means 9 makes it possible to apply to the rod 1, compression prestressing of predetermined value, so as to anticipate the thrust action of this rod 1 on the transmission elements 2, when flexing the ski 5.
  • this immobilizing means 94 comprises a bore in which the end of the rod situated at the level of the said abutment is committed and immobilized.
  • At least one of the pieces 90, 91 constituting the adjustment means 9 have flats (not shown) for their actuation using flat keys (not shown).
  • the modification device 6 comprises means 12 for absorbing a displacement in translation of each rod 1 which extends beyond a predetermined limit, in such a way when the bending of the ski 5 itself exceeds a predetermined value, the modification device 6 is, in a way, disengaged and does not suffer from damage affecting its operation.
  • the absorption means 12 is located at the level of each stop stop in translation 103 and consists of a mechanism 12 of elastic erasure of each stop stop in translation 103, when it receives from the stem 1 an action whose intensity is located beyond the predetermined value, the erasure of this stop 103 thus making it possible to release rod 1 to allow its movement beyond the limit predetermined.
  • the device for the invention comprises at least one rod 1 which extends over substantially the entire length of the ski 5.
  • the rod 1 passes under the fastening means 8 of the ski boot.
