Description

  • The subject of the present invention is a device for processing or finishing the blades of a ski, a snowboard or the like and a ski or a snowboard or the like. In the description below and in the claims, reference is made to the use on a ski even though it is also possible to process snowboards or the like.
  • A device is known, for processing the blades of a ski fitted on a machine adapted for receiving the ski and automatically carrying out the blade finishing operation. More precisely, there are provided two devices for processing the ski blades, arranged at opposed sides with respect to the longitudinal ski development. The ski is inserted into a seat of the machine and, by moving the ski itself along its longitudinal axis or moving the above devices along a direction parallel to the longitudinal ski axis, a relative translation motion is obtained between the ski and the devices in question, which allows processing the entire blade length.
  • The skis known so far exhibit two blades on the lower edges of the ski, with reference to the normal use of the ski itself. The blades are such as to exhibit a sliding surface substantially on the same plane as the sliding surface of the ski (an example of the prior art is schematised in figure 3a). Such blade is quite easy to finish but it has been unusually noted that it negatively affects the grip and speed performance. Such skis are known from FR775368A , US-A-6062585 , US-A-4722543 , DE10107905A1 . Moreover, known skis exhibit some disadvantages during the processing of the ski base, due to the fact that the presence of the conventional blade can interfere with the optimum processing of the base and due to the fact that the base processing could impair the blade.
  • From what said above there is the need of providing a ski which should allow better performance and more simplicity of processing, and of providing a device which should be capable of finishing the sliding surface of the blade in a simple and effective manner and which should be usable with any kind of skis.
  • The problem at the basis of the present invention is that of proposing a ski and a device for processing the blades of a ski, which should exhibit such structural and functional features as to meet the above need and overcoming the disadvantages mentioned with reference to the prior art.
  • Such problem is solved by a ski according to claim 1 and by a device for processing the blades of a ski.
  • Further features and advantages of the ski and of the device for processing the blades of a ski according to the invention will appear more clearly from the following description of its preferred embodiments, made by way of a non-limiting example with reference to the annexed figures, wherein:
  • figure 1 shows a bottom view of a ski, that is, a view showing the sliding surface of the ski, adapted for resting on the ground during the normal use of the ski itself;
  • figure 2 shows the section II-II of the ski of figure 1, corresponding to the position in which the ski is during its normal condition of use turned by 180°;
  • figure 3a shows an enlarged view of the detail III of figure 2 according to a first embodiment;
  • figure 3b shows an enlarged view of the detail III of figure 2 according to a second embodiment.
  • With reference to figure 1, there is schematically illustrated a portion of a ski 12, according to a bottom view with reference to the normal use of the ski itself. In other words, figure 1 shows a view wherein there is shown the sliding surface of the ski, indicated with reference numeral 12a. More in detail, figure 1 shows a bottom view of the tip portion of a ski wherein there is highlighted the ski blade, indicated with reference numeral 14. With reference to the normal use of the ski, the lower surface of the blade shown in figure 1 and corresponding to the sliding surface of the ski is indicated with reference numeral 14a. In the description below, the blade surface indicated with reference numeral 14a will also be referred to as sliding surface.
  • Ski 12 conventionally develops along a longitudinal axis X-X and, as shown in figure 1, ski 12 exhibits a variable width L along the longitudinal development of the ski itself. The variation of width L is generally such that the ski exhibits a larger width in portions close to the tip and to the tail compared to a central portion of the ski itself.
  • Figure 2 schematically shows section II-II of figure 1. Reference numeral 12b indicates the side surfaces of the ski and reference numeral 14b indicates the side surfaces of the blades. Finally, reference numeral 12c indicates the visible surface of the ski, that is, the surface that during the normal use of the ski is arranged on top, contrary to what shown in figure 2.
  • Figures 3a and 3b are two enlarged views of two different embodiments of the detail indicated with III in figure 2. Figure 3a shows a conventional embodiment of ski 12, wherein the sliding surface 14a of the blade and the sliding surface 12a of the ski substantially lay on the same plane, provided there are no inclination of the blade surface (indicated with a broken line). Figure 3b shows a new and advantageous embodiment of the ski, wherein the sliding surface 14a of the blade is lowered compared to the sliding surface 12a of the ski. In other words, between the sliding surface 12a of the ski and the sliding surface 14a of the blade there is a step 16 so, with reference to figure 3b, the sliding surface 14a is arranged below the sliding surface 12a of the ski (with reference to the normal use of the ski wherein the sliding surface 12a of the ski rests on the ground, the sliding surface 14a of the blade is on top of the sliding surface 12a of the ski, the ski being rotated by 180° compared to figure 3b).
  • With reference to both figure 3a and figure 3b, a lower outside edge of the blade is indicated with reference numeral 15a whereas an upper outside edge of the blade is indicated with reference numeral 15b.
  • In other words, the advantageous embodiment of the ski (or of a snowboard) according to what illustrated in figure 3b provides for the lowering of the blade relative to the so-called ski base. In this way, only after processing the blade it is possible to process the base without impairing the result of the processing performed on the blade. Moreover, the base processing is easier since it is possible to properly process also its edges, thanks to the presence of step 16. Finally, it has been unusually noted that the ski or snowboard performance is improved, both in terms of grip and in terms of speed reached.
  • In order to meet special requirements, a man skilled in the art will be able to make several changes, adaptations and replacements of elements with other functionally equivalent ones in the preferred embodiment described above, without departing from the scope of the following claim.
