Definitions
- the invention relates to a pair of skis provided for the practice of alpine skiing.
- an alpine ski is a composite structure which is formed from a core and various reinforcing layers above and below the core.
- the ski technique has also evolved recently with the so-called "carving" technique.
- the ski sidecut was emphasized, the length of the skis was decreased.
- the skier keeps his support on the two skis he keeps apart.
- One purpose that the invention proposes to achieve is to adapt the skis structure mentioned above to this new ski technique so as to improve the behavior of the ski on the snow.
- the ski according to the invention comprises an elongate structure extending in a longitudinal direction and comprising a core, upper and lower reinforcement subassemblies surrounding the core, a gliding sole bordered by two lateral edges through which the ski takes support on its sliding surface, the structure of the ski comprising three juxtaposed portions, a medial portion located towards the longitudinal direction of the ski and two side portions located on either side of the middle portion, the lateral portions being both more rigid in flexion and / or torsion that the medial portion, and the lateral portions are asymmetrical with respect to a plane perpendicular to the glide base and passing through the longitudinal direction of the ski, and / or that the medial portion is asymmetrical with respect to said plane .
- the ski is characterized as set forth in claim 1.
- the invention also relates to a pair of skis in which each ski has a symmetrical construction of the other.
- the median zone forms a kind of hinge between the two lateral zones which are more rigid and which reside on the lateral edges.
- the figure 1 is a side view of a ski according to a non-limiting mode of implementation of the invention.
- the figure 2 represents the ski of the figure 1 in top view.
- the figure 3 is a sectional view of the ski Figures 1 and 2 in the central area.
- FIGS. 4 to 10 represent the ski in cross section by sectional planes IV-IV to XX, respectively.
- FIGS. 11 to 14 are sectional views of a ski that illustrate different construction variants.
- the figure 15 represents a top view of a ski according to another embodiment of the invention.
- the figure 16 is a sectional view of the ski from the figure 11 according to the XVI-XVI section plan.
- the ski 1 represented in Figures 1 and 2 has the shape of an elongate beam in a longitudinal direction whose trace in the plane of the figure 2 is shown schematically by the mixed line 2. At rest, the ski is arched and it rests on the ground by two support zones that are commonly called the front and rear contact lines. These lines are marked 6a, 6b in the figure 1 .
- the ski 1 has a central zone 3 also called the skate, and front and rear zones 4 and 5 which end respectively forward and back of the contact lines by the spatula and the heel.
- the internal structure of the ski Figures 1 and 2 is illustrated in figure 3 which is a sectional view of the ski in the central zone 3.
- This structure is of a traditional type.
- the ski comprises a central core 7 which is of any suitable type, for example it is wood, or foam including polyurethane. In the case of a foam core, the core can be shaped before it is placed in the mold or injected in situ.
- the core is covered on the top of an upper reinforcement subassembly 8, comprising for example one or more layers of glass fibers, carbon, aramid fibers or other impregnated with resin, then a decorative layer 9.
- the reinforcement subassembly may also comprise a metal reinforcing layer. It can also have a variable nature on the length of the ski.
- the core rests on a sub-assembly of lower reinforcement 10 which is for example of the same nature as the sub-assembly 8, and a gliding sole 11.
- the sole is laterally bordered by two metal edges 12 and 13.
- the edges are curved along the length of the ski along curves that define the ski's dimension lines. Also known these curves can be symmetrical or asymmetrical with respect to a plane perpendicular to the gliding surface and passing through the longitudinal direction 2. This plane will be called in the following the median longitudinal plane of the ski.
- the front and rear areas 4 and 5 of the ski comprise three portions arranged transversely side by side. These portions extend over the greatest length of the front and rear zones, that is to say at least up to the front and rear contact lines 6a, 6b.
- the front area 4 is formed of three portions, two side portions 14 and 15 which extend along the lateral edges of the ski and a middle portion 16 which is located between the two side portions.
- the rear zone 5 comprises two lateral portions 17 and 18 and a middle portion 19.
- FIGS. 4 to 10 show different consecutive sections of the ski along its front zone 4, its central zone 3 and its rear zone 5. For reasons of simplicity, these figures do not show the internal structure of the ski. For this internal structure, refer to what has been described above in relation to the figure 3 .
- the upper and lower reinforcement sub-assemblies 8 and 10 are further apart from each other in the lateral portions 14, 15 and 17, 18 than in the portions. 16 and 19. More precisely the maximum spacing of the lower and upper reinforcement subassemblies is greater in the portion 14 than in the portion 15. As a result, locally, the ski is more rigid in torsion and / or in flexion in these lateral portions than in these median portions. It is in fact the reinforcement subassemblies by their nature and their spacing which mainly determine the bending and / or torsion properties.
- the medial portions form a kind of hinge along the length of the front and rear zones, and the flexural and / or torsional rigidity is mainly concentrated towards the lateral edges of the ski.
- the spacing variation of the reinforcing subassemblies is obtained by a variation in thickness of the core 7, or by machining or when it is injected into the mold because of the shape of the mold.
- the lateral portions are asymmetrical with respect to the median plane of the ski.
- Asymmetry concerns the structure and / or the external shape of the lateral portions. It can also relate to the medial portions. Thus one can manage in a different way the bending and / or the twist of the right and left side portions of the ski.
- the distance between the reinforcement subassemblies varies over a greater amplitude, and extends over a greater width than the portions 15 and 18.
- the ski is more rigid in flexion and / or torsion along the edge 12 than the other edge.
- the other ski of the pair would be symmetrically constructed with symmetry of mirror so that overall we find the same rigidity on the outside of the skis on the one hand and on the inside of the other go. It is believed that a ski needs to be less rigid on the inner edge than on the outer edge, but this is not limiting.
- the figure 11 illustrates a variant embodiment where the middle portion 23 of the ski is symmetrical with respect to the median plane schematized at 24, and where the lateral portions 25 and 26 are asymmetrical with respect to this same plane.
- the figure 12 shows another variant.
- the middle portion 27 is itself asymmetrical.
- the notion of central portion and middle portion is relatively vague.
- the medial portion may be defined as forming a kind of hinge between the two side portions which border and which have a higher rigidity.
- the lateral portions which are on each side of the central portion are also asymmetrical.
- the construction illustrated in the figure 13 shows two tubes 30 and 31 embedded in the core 32. These tubes form a mechanical unit for reinforcing the core. Thus in the transverse direction of the ski, there are two side portions 34 and 35, those containing the tubes, which have a rigidity greater than the medial portion 36 located towards the median plane of the ski. According to the invention these tubes 30 and 31 have a rigidity because of their diameter or because of their section as represented by the figure 14 with tubes 38 and 39.
- the ski represented in these Figures 13 and 14 has an external shape symmetrical with respect to the median plane, but of course its external shape could be asymmetrical, that is to say that one could combine this variant of construction with the other modes of construction which are described here.
- the reinforcement units could include several tubes located side by side.
- the figure 15 illustrates that the lateral portions 42, 43 and median 44 may extend over the entire length of the ski.
- the lateral portions 42 and 43 are asymmetrical in the front and rear areas 46, 48 of the ski, and they are symmetrical in the central zone 47.
- an interface wedge in the middle zone 47 can be provided to allow mounting of the retaining elements.
- figure 17 shows a ski with lateral portions 50 and 52 symmetrical towards the front and rear ends of the ski, and asymmetrical towards the central zone.
- the figure 18 illustrates that the asymmetry of the lateral portions 60 and 62 can be performed in correlation with the asymmetry of the edge line of the edges 63 and 64.
- the asymmetry of the lateral portions is achieved according to the asymmetry of the dimension lines.
- the middle portion 61 is made in geometry homothety with the dimension lines, that is to say with narrow points offset.
- the ski that has just been described has a weight and decreased inertia due to the middle portion which has a weakened structure.
- the presence of this median zone makes it possible to decouple between them the two lateral portions in their bending or torsion behavior.
- the asymmetry makes it possible to have lateral portions with different properties of flexion and / or torsion, and thus to manage in a different way the support of the ski on each of its edges.

Abstract
Description
L'invention concerne une paire de skis prévus pour la pratique du ski alpin.The invention relates to a pair of skis provided for the practice of alpine skiing.
De façon connue un ski alpin est une structure composite qui est formée à partir d'un noyau et de diverses couches de renfort au-dessus et en dessous du noyau.In known manner an alpine ski is a composite structure which is formed from a core and various reinforcing layers above and below the core.
Ces dernières années la structure interne du ski ou sa forme externe du ski a évolué. On a inclus dans le noyau des éléments de structure tels que des tubes ou des joncs qui modifient l'homogénéité transversale de la structure du ski, ou encore on a modifié la forme externe du ski spécialement sur le dessus de façon à faire apparaître un relief. Ainsi on modifie l'inertie du ski, et/ou on influe sur son comportement en flexion et torsion. Les demandes de brevet
La technique de ski a également évolué récemment avec la technique dite du "carving". La ligne de cotes des skis a été accentuée, la longueur des skis a été diminuée. En virage, au lieu de faire porter son poids principalement sur un ski, le skieur garde ses appuis sur les deux skis qu'il maintient écartés.The ski technique has also evolved recently with the so-called "carving" technique. The ski sidecut was emphasized, the length of the skis was decreased. In turns, instead of putting his weight mainly on a ski, the skier keeps his support on the two skis he keeps apart.
Un but que l'invention se propose d'atteindre est d'adapter la structure des skis évoquée ci-dessus à cette nouvelle technique de ski de façon à améliorer le comportement du ski sur la neige.One purpose that the invention proposes to achieve is to adapt the skis structure mentioned above to this new ski technique so as to improve the behavior of the ski on the snow.
Ainsi le ski selon l'invention comprend une structure longiligne s'étendant selon une direction longitudinale et comprenant un noyau, des sous-ensembles de renfort supérieur et inférieur entourant le noyau, une semelle de glisse bordée de deux carres latérales par lesquelles le ski prend appui sur sa surface de glisse, la structure du ski comprenant trois portions juxtaposées, une portion médiane située vers la direction longitudinale du ski et deux portions latérales situées de part et d'autre de la portion médiane, les portions latérales étant toutes deux plus rigides en flexion et/ou torsion que la portion médiane, et les portions latérales sont asymétriques par rapport à un plan perpendiculaire à la semelle de glisse et passant par la direction longitudinale du ski, et/ou que la portion médiane est asymétrique par rapport audit plan.Thus the ski according to the invention comprises an elongate structure extending in a longitudinal direction and comprising a core, upper and lower reinforcement subassemblies surrounding the core, a gliding sole bordered by two lateral edges through which the ski takes support on its sliding surface, the structure of the ski comprising three juxtaposed portions, a medial portion located towards the longitudinal direction of the ski and two side portions located on either side of the middle portion, the lateral portions being both more rigid in flexion and / or torsion that the medial portion, and the lateral portions are asymmetrical with respect to a plane perpendicular to the glide base and passing through the longitudinal direction of the ski, and / or that the medial portion is asymmetrical with respect to said plane .
Le ski est caractérisé tel que présenté dans la revendication 1.The ski is characterized as set forth in
L'invention concerne également une paire de skis dans laquelle chacun des skis présente une construction symétrique de l'autre.The invention also relates to a pair of skis in which each ski has a symmetrical construction of the other.
De cette façon les appuis de la chaussure en direction de chacune des carres peuvent être gérés de façon différente. En effet la zone médiane forme en quelque sorte une charnière entre les deux zones latérales qui sont plus rigides et qui trouvent leur appui sur les carres latérales. En donnant à chacune des zones latérales des propriétés de flexion et/ou de torsion différentes, on peut gérer de façon différente les appuis du ski sur la neige sur la carre interne et sur la carre externe.In this way the supports of the shoe towards each of the edges can be managed differently. Indeed, the median zone forms a kind of hinge between the two lateral zones which are more rigid and which reside on the lateral edges. By giving each of the lateral zones different bending and / or torsion properties, it is possible to manage in a different way the ski supports on the snow on the inner edge and on the outer edge.
L'invention sera mieux comprise en se référant à la description ci-dessous et aux dessins en annexe qui lui sont attachés.The invention will be better understood by referring to the description below and attached drawings attached thereto.

Le ski 1 représenté en
De façon connue le ski 1 présente une zone centrale 3 appelée également le patin, et des zones avant et arrière 4 et 5 qui se terminent respectivement en avant et en arrière des lignes de contact par la spatule et le talon.In known manner, the
La structure interne du ski des
Selon le mode de réalisation illustré, le noyau est recouvert sur le dessus d'un sous-ensemble de renfort supérieur 8, comprenant par exemple une ou plusieurs couches de fibres de verre, de carbone, de fibres aramides ou autres imprégnées de résine, puis d'une couche 9 de décoration. Le sous-ensemble de renfort peut aussi comprendre une couche de renfort métallique. Il peut également avoir une nature variable sur la longueur du ski.According to the illustrated embodiment, the core is covered on the top of an
Sur le dessous, le noyau repose sur un sous-ensemble de renfort inférieur 10 qui est par exemple de même nature que le sous-ensemble 8, et une semelle de glisse 11. La semelle est bordée latéralement par deux carres métalliques 12 et 13.On the underside, the core rests on a sub-assembly of
De façon connue les carres sont incurvées sur la longueur du ski selon des courbes qui définissent les lignes de cotes du ski. De façon également connue ces courbes peuvent être symétriques ou asymétriques par rapport à un plan perpendiculaire à la surface de glisse et passant par la direction longitudinale 2. Ce plan sera appelé dans la suite le plan longitudinal médian du ski.In a known manner, the edges are curved along the length of the ski along curves that define the ski's dimension lines. Also known these curves can be symmetrical or asymmetrical with respect to a plane perpendicular to the gliding surface and passing through the
Selon le mode de réalisation illustré, les zones avant et arrière 4 et 5 du ski comprennent trois portions disposées transversalement côte à côte. Ces portions s'étendent sur la plus grande longueur des zones avant et arrière, c'est-à-dire au moins jusqu'aux lignes de contact avant et arrière 6a, 6b.According to the illustrated embodiment, the front and
Ainsi la zone avant 4 est formée de trois portions, deux portions latérales 14 et 15 qui s'étendent le long des bords latéraux du ski et une portion médiane 16 qui est située entre les deux portions latérales. De même la zone arrière 5 comprend deux portions latérales 17 et 18 et une portion médiane 19.Thus the
Les
Ainsi qu'on peut s'en rendre compte dans les figures les sous-ensembles de renfort supérieur et inférieur 8 et 10 sont davantage écartés l'un de l'autre dans les portions latérales 14, 15 et 17, 18 que dans les portions médianes 16 et 19. Plus exactement l'écartement maximum des sous-ensembles de renfort inférieur et supérieur est plus grand dans la portion 14 que dans la portion 15. Il en résulte que localement le ski est plus rigide en torsion et/ou en flexion dans ces portions latérales que dans ces portions médianes. Ce sont en effet les sous-ensembles de renfort par leur nature et leur écartement qui déterminent principalement les propriétés de flexion et/ou de torsion.As can be seen in the figures, the upper and
Ainsi, les portions médianes forment une sorte de charnière sur la longueur des zones avant et arrière, et la rigidité en flexion et/ou torsion est principalement concentrée vers les bords latéraux du ski.Thus, the medial portions form a kind of hinge along the length of the front and rear zones, and the flexural and / or torsional rigidity is mainly concentrated towards the lateral edges of the ski.
De façon connue, la variation d'écartement des sous-ensembles de renfort est obtenue par une variation d'épaisseur du noyau 7, ou bien par usinage ou bien lors de son injection dans le moule du fait de la forme du moule.In known manner, the spacing variation of the reinforcing subassemblies is obtained by a variation in thickness of the
D'autres moyens pourraient être adoptés pour avoir des raideurs différentes dans les portions latérales et les portions médianes. Certaines seront décrites ultérieurement à titre de variante.Other means could be adopted to have different stiffness in the side portions and the middle portions. Some will be described later as an alternative.
Selon l'invention les portions latérales sont asymétriques par rapport au plan médian du ski. L'asymétrie concerne la structure et/ou la forme extérieure des portions latérales. Elle peut également concerner les portions médianes. Ainsi on peut gérer de façon différente la flexion et/ou la torsion des portions latérales droite et gauche du ski.According to the invention, the lateral portions are asymmetrical with respect to the median plane of the ski. Asymmetry concerns the structure and / or the external shape of the lateral portions. It can also relate to the medial portions. Thus one can manage in a different way the bending and / or the twist of the right and left side portions of the ski.
Selon le mode de réalisation illustré dans les figures on peut voir que dans les portions latérales 14 et 17 la distance entre les sous-ensembles de renfort varie sur une plus grande amplitude, et s'étendent sur une plus grande largeur que les portions 15 et 18.According to the embodiment illustrated in the figures, it can be seen that in the
De ce fait le ski est plus rigide en flexion et/ou torsion le long de la carre 12 que de l'autre carre.As a result, the ski is more rigid in flexion and / or torsion along the
De plus on peut voir que les portions médianes 16 et 19 se trouvent déportées vers la carre 13 où la rigidité est plus faible. Ceci est dû en partie à l'asymétrie des portions latérales qui se reportent sur la portion médiane.In addition we can see that the
Naturellement pour une paire de skis, l'autre ski de la paire serait construit de façon symétrique avec une symétrie de miroir pour que globalement on retrouve la même rigidité sur l'extérieur des skis d'une part et sur l'intérieur d'autre part. On pense qu'un ski a besoin d'être moins rigide sur la carre interne que sur la carre externe, mais ceci n'est pas limitatif.Naturally for one pair of skis, the other ski of the pair would be symmetrically constructed with symmetry of mirror so that overall we find the same rigidity on the outside of the skis on the one hand and on the inside of the other go. It is believed that a ski needs to be less rigid on the inner edge than on the outer edge, but this is not limiting.

On pourrait de la même façon avoir une asymétrie sur toute la longueur du ski, ou seulement dans une zone avant ou arrière.One could similarly have an asymmetry along the entire length of the ski, or only in a front or rear area.

Dans le cas de la
L'asymétrie des portions latérales est réalisée en fonction de l'asymétrie des lignes de cotes.The asymmetry of the lateral portions is achieved according to the asymmetry of the dimension lines.
Par exemple, ainsi que cela est représenté dans la figure, la portion médiane 61 est réalisée en homothétie de géométrie avec les lignes de cotes, c'est-à-dire avec des points étroits décalés.For example, as shown in the figure, the
De la même façon on pourrait avoir une relation d'homothétie entre la rigidité en flexion et/ou en torsion des portions latérales avec la géométrie des lignes de cotes.In the same way one could have a relationship of homothety between the stiffness in bending and / or torsion of the lateral portions with the geometry of the dimension lines.
Ainsi le ski qui vient d'être décrit présente du fait un poids et une inertie diminuée du fait de la portion médiane qui a une structure affaiblie. La présence de cette zone médiane permet de découpler entre elles les deux portions latérales dans leur comportement en flexion ou torsion.Thus the ski that has just been described has a weight and decreased inertia due to the middle portion which has a weakened structure. The presence of this median zone makes it possible to decouple between them the two lateral portions in their bending or torsion behavior.
En se reposant sur ce découplage, l'asymétrie permet d'avoir des portions latérales avec des propriétés différentes de flexion et/ou de torsion, et ainsi de gérer de façon différente l'appui du ski sur chacune de ses carres.By relying on this decoupling, the asymmetry makes it possible to have lateral portions with different properties of flexion and / or torsion, and thus to manage in a different way the support of the ski on each of its edges.
Naturellement la présente description n'est donnée qu'à titre indicatif, et l'on pourrait adopter d'autres mises en oeuvre de l'invention sans pour autant sortir du cadre de celle-ci.Naturally the present description is given only as an indication, and one could adopt other implementations of the invention without departing from the scope thereof.
En particulier il va de soi que l'on pourrait combiner entre eux les différents modes de réalisation et variantes qui ont été décrits ou suggérés. Egalement l'invention pourrait trouver une application dans d'autres disciplines de glisse où le skieur est amené à prendre des virages qui sollicitent simultanément la carre interne d'un ski et la carre externe de l'autre, et notamment les skis de télémark et les skis courts.In particular it is obvious that one could combine them different embodiments and variants that have been described or suggested. Also the invention could find an application in other disciplines of skiing where the skier is led to take turns that simultaneously solicit the inner edge of a ski and the outer edge of the other, including telemark skis and short skis.
Egalement l'invention pourrait s'appliquer aux skis courts et à ceux prévus pour la pratique du télémark.Also the invention could apply to short skis and those provided for the practice of telemark.
