Definitions

• Short radius ski combined with a long tip
• the invention relates to a ski associated with a long tip. It relates to the field of sliding sports, and more precisely of alpine skis. It relates more particularly to the family of medium-sized alpine skis, with a horizontal dimension line in the current hollowed fashion.
• One of the problems which the invention proposes to solve is that of the lack of versatility of the skis between their behavior on hard snow for carving type skis (hollow skis and with a width of 62 to 65 mm on the skate) and in snow deep for freeride type skis (hollow skis with a radius of 18 to 30 m, with a width of 68 to 75 mm at the waist) or still in deep snow skis of the so-called fat type (hollow skis with a radius of more than 18 m and with a minimum width of 85 mm on the skate).
• the present invention solves the problem of choosing skiers, the skis on the current market being less efficient in terms of all-terrain versatility by the fact that no ski model offered on the market uses the parameters of the invention.
• the skier will use a single type of ski instead of at least two pairs currently to obtain a result at best as efficient and less fun as the invention.
• the present invention proposes to solve this second problem which relates to the transverse stability of a relatively short ski, when the latter is flat on the snow.
• the length of the spatula providing more substantial lateral support.
• a third problem which the invention proposes to solve is that of the attachment, and therefore of the rigidity in flexion and torsion adapted, in its rear zone, more particularly in its front zone by the weight of an accentuated spatula. , so as to give additional pressure at the edges when driving and better vibration damping.
• the invention aims to solve these three problems simultaneously by proposing a ski with a length varying from one hundred and sixty centimeters to less than two meters, the grip of which is greatly improved, either when it is on the edge or when it is in direct trace by increasing the pressure of the front and rear ends of the ski, by controlling the transverse friction.
• the invention relates to an alpine ski comprising a tip zone, a skate zone and a heel zone, and having:
• This ski is of composite structure and is built in accordance with current knowledge of the skilled person.
• This ski is characterized in that it also has a minimum width at the level of the pad area of 69 mm and a developed length of the tip region representing at least 11.5 percent of the total developed length of the ski.
• the ski according to the invention integrates a spatula of accentuated dimension which, at the same time ensures a longitudinal guidance when the ski is in direct track, and which confer to increase the pressure on the edges when driving the turn.
• the ski is better able to resist transverse movements when it is flat on hard snow, and thanks to this means, the ski is given the ability to better open the trail in deep snow.
• Figure 1 is a top view of a ski according to the invention.
• Figure 2 is a side view of the ski of Figure 1.
• the invention relates to a ski (1) of length (L1), lying between 140 and ⁇ 210 cm.
• the ski (1) breaks down, longitudinally, into three contiguous zones, namely a first spatula zone (2), located at the front, a skid zone (3) on which the safety bindings will be mounted, and a heel zone (4), behind the skate area (3).
• the skis according to the invention have a tip zone (2) having a developed length (L3) representing at least 11.5 percent the total developed length of the ski (L1).
• the skate area (3) of the ski has a minimum width (L2) of 69 mm, the skis according to the invention are limited to the family of so-called “parabolic” skis, intended for known practice according to the English expression of “ carving "or parabolic.
• the horizontal radius (L7) between the contact points (A), (C) and (B) is less than 180,000 millimeters, or eighteen meters.
• skis shorter than those used in the past, have a very deep dimension line allowing very marked turns, that is to say with the minimum skid.
• a ski (1) has, in lateral view, a sole (5) intended to come into contact with the snow, and forming the sliding surface (L5).
