Independent claims are also included for the following: (1) a packaging for a gliding board (2) a method for manufacturing a gliding board.

Description

La présente invention concerne le conditionnement des planches de glisse en vue de leur protection et de la présentation pour la commercialisation.The present invention relates to the packaging of gliding boards for their protection and presentation for marketing.

Une planche de glisse comprend typiquement un corps allongé, une surface inférieure prévue pour venir au contact de la neige et une surface supérieure qui reçoit des moyens de fixation de la chaussure de l'utilisateur. La surface inférieure, également appelée surface de glisse ou semelle, est réalisée dans un matériau favorisant la glisse. Dans la majorité des cas, la semelle est intégralement solidaire du reste du ski. Certaines solutions anciennes ont pourtant proposé de recouvrir la surface inférieure, d'une couche supplémentaire amovible chargée de constituer la surface de glisse. Une telle solution est par exemple décrite dans le document DE 2641749 . Ces solutions sont peu pratiques car la couche amovible à tendance à se désolidariser de planche de glisse pendant les phases de glisse.A gliding board typically comprises an elongate body, a lower surface adapted to come into contact with the snow and an upper surface which receives means for fastening the user's boot. The lower surface, also called sliding surface or sole, is made of a material promoting sliding. In the majority of cases, the sole is fully integral with the rest of the ski. Some old solutions have however proposed to cover the lower surface, a removable additional layer responsible for constituting the gliding surface. Such a solution is for example described in the document DE 2641749 . These solutions are impractical because the removable layer has a tendency to dissociate itself from the gliding board during the sliding phases.

La présente invention concerne plus particulièrement le conditionnement des skis de fond et leur présentation dans les magasins avant la vente.The present invention relates more particularly to the conditioning of cross-country skis and their presentation in the stores before the sale.

Il est connu que, à l'issu de leur fabrication et avant leur sortie d'usine, les fabricants emballent les planches de glisse afin de les protéger des détériorations éventuelles qu'elles pourraient subir avant leur vente finale à l'utilisateur. Plusieurs techniques peuvent être employées à cette fin comme par exemple celle consistant à enfiler les planches de glisse dans une gaine en matière plastique qui est fermée aux deux extrémités. Ainsi conditionnées les planches de glisse ne se présentent pas sous un aspect attractif.It is known that, at the end of their manufacture and before leaving the factory, the manufacturers pack the gliding boards to protect them from any damage they may suffer before their final sale to the user. Several techniques can be used for this purpose such as that of putting the gliding boards in a plastic sheath which is closed at both ends. Thus packaged gliding boards do not come in an attractive appearance.

Une autre technique consiste à emballer les planches de glisse avec un film thermoplastique que l'on peut rétrécir pour qu'il vienne s'ajuster parfaitement à la forme de la planche. Le document FR 2624029 décrit une modalité d'application de cette technique. Cette technique présente un certain avantage par rapport à la technique précédente mais elle loin d'être satisfaisante. C'est pourquoi, il n'est pas rare que les planches de glisse soient mises à nu dans le magasin de détail bien avant leur vente effective à un utilisateur, ce qui les laisse dans une situation de risque d'endommagement, notamment de la surface de glisse. Pourtant, il est important que l'acheteur potentiel puisse voir, toucher et tester le produit qu'il achète sans qu'un emballage ne fasse obstacle à son évaluation visuelle et tactile de la planche.Another technique is to pack the gliding boards with a thermoplastic film that can be shrunk to fit perfectly to the shape of the board. The document FR 2624029 describes a modality of application of this technique. This technique has a certain advantage over the previous technique but it is far from satisfactory. Therefore, it is not uncommon for boards gliding are exposed in the retail store well before their actual sale to a user, leaving them in a situation of risk of damage, including the sliding surface. However, it is important that the potential buyer can see, touch and test the product he buys without a package hindering his visual and tactile assessment of the board.

De plus, dans le cas particulier des skis de fond, et notamment des skis de fond prévus pour la pratique dite "classique", il est pratiquement obligatoire que le ski soit retiré de son emballage pour vérifier s'il convient bien à l'acheteur.In addition, in the particular case of cross-country skis, and especially cross-country skis provided for the so-called "classic" practice, it is practically obligatory for the ski to be removed from its packaging to check whether it is suitable for the buyer. .

En effet, étant donné que la raideur d'un ski de fond, et plus particulièrement d'un ski de classique, doit parfaitement correspondre au poids du skieur, on demande, en magasin, à l'acheteur de venir poser les pieds sur les skis (le ski étant placé à plat sur une surface plate et lisse); d'abord en appui uniformément réparti de tout le pied puis en appui au niveau de l'articulation métatarso-phalangienne seulement. Pour s'assurer de la bonne raideur du ski, le vendeur fait glisser une cale d'épaisseur de 0.2 à 0.4 mm entre la surface de glisse et le support, risquant d'endommager la surface de glisse. Ces tests préalables à l'achat permettent de déterminer si le ski a exactement la raideur adéquate pour l'acheteur en question; il faut notamment s'assurer que lorsque l'utilisateur est principalement en appui sur un pied, la partie centrale du ski est bien en contact avec le sol, alors que lorsque le poids et également réparti sur les deux pieds, la partie centrale est dégagée.Indeed, since the stiffness of a cross-country ski, and more particularly a classic ski, must perfectly match the weight of the skier, it is asked, in store, the buyer to come and put their feet on the skis (the ski being flat on a flat, smooth surface); firstly support uniformly distributed all over the foot and then support at the level of the metatarsophalangeal joint only. To make sure of the good stiffness of the ski, the salesman slides a shim of thickness from 0.2 to 0.4 mm between the sliding surface and the support, risk of damaging the sliding surface. These pre-purchase tests determine if the ski has exactly the right stiffness for the buyer in question; In particular, it must be ensured that when the user is mainly resting on one foot, the central part of the ski is in contact with the ground, whereas when the weight is evenly distributed on both feet, the central part is cleared. .

Cette première manipulation des skis avant achat, hors de leur emballage, peut générer des marques sur la semelle du ski lorsque celui-ci est posé au sol ou sur le banc de test.This first handling of skis before purchase, out of their packaging, can generate marks on the ski sole when it is placed on the ground or on the test bench.

Plus l'acheteur est expert, plus il apportera du soin à la réalisation du test d'adaptabilité du ski à son poids. Il sera, en outre, plus enclin à acheter un ski haut de gamme et sera très vigilant sur l'état de surface extérieure du ski et en particulier de la surface de glisse. Or, c'est bien cette dernière qu'on pourra endommager lors de la réalisation du test.The more the buyer is expert, the more he will take care in the realization of the test of adaptability of the ski to his weight. He will also be more inclined to buy a top-of-the-range ski and will be very vigilant on the surface condition of the ski and in particular the gliding surface. However, it is the latter that can be damaged during the performance of the test.

Pour éviter d'endommager la surface de glisse, le fabricant de skis peut envisager de protéger la semelle par une couche de fart de glisse. Cette couche protège la semelle contre les rayures mais empêche néanmoins toute mesure du ski. En effet, le détaillant doit préalablement racler le ski avant de pouvoir soit mesurer le ski, soit réusiner la semelle. Cette opération de raclage est fastidieuse et salissante.To avoid damaging the gliding surface, the ski manufacturer may consider protecting the sole with a layer of gliding wax. This layer protects the sole against scratches but nevertheless prevents any measure of the ski. In fact, the retailer must first scrape the ski before he can measure the ski or re-machine the sole. This scraping operation is tedious and messy.

La présente invention vise donc à s'affranchir des inconvénients de l'état de la technique connu en proposant un conditionnement attractif, dont le rôle protecteur s'étend du stade de la finition des planches de glisse jusqu'à leur vente en détail, ou mieux jusqu'à leur première utilisation, c'est-à-dire au-delà de l'opération du montage des fixations.The present invention therefore aims at overcoming the drawbacks of the state of the art known by proposing an attractive packaging, the protective role of which extends from the stage of finishing the boards to glide until their retail sale, or better until their first use, that is to say beyond the operation of mounting fixings.

A cet effet, l'invention consiste en une planche de glisse comprenant une surface supérieure pouvant recevoir des fixations d'au moins une chaussure d'un utilisateur; une surface inférieure qui vient au contact de la neige; et un film qui est apposé sur la surface inférieure. Ledit film est retiré avant la première utilisation de ladite planche de glisse.To this end, the invention consists of a gliding board comprising an upper surface that can receive fastenings from at least one shoe of a user; a lower surface that comes into contact with the snow; and a film that is affixed to the bottom surface. Said film is removed before the first use of said gliding board.

Le film pourra avoir une épaisseur constante et recouvrira de préférence une portion supérieure à 70% de ladite surface de glisse.The film may have a constant thickness and will preferably cover a portion greater than 70% of said gliding surface.

Le conditionnement d'une planche de glisse selon l'invention comporte un film apposé sur une majeure partie de la surface de glisse et une enveloppe entourant la planche et le film.The packaging of a gliding board according to the invention comprises a film affixed to a major part of the sliding surface and an envelope surrounding the board and the film.

Dans un des modes de réalisation de l'invention, ladite planche ainsi que le film recouvrant la surface de glisse sont emballés dans une enveloppe.In one embodiment of the invention, said board and the film covering the sliding surface are packaged in an envelope.

L'invention consiste également en un procédé de fabrication d'une planche de glisse, qui comprend les étapes suivantes : fabrication de la planche de glisse; application d'un film sur la surface inférieure de ladite planche de glisse; et mise en place, préférablement, d'une enveloppe supplémentaire autour de ladite planche.The invention also consists of a method of manufacturing a gliding board, which comprises the following steps: manufacturing the gliding board; applying a film to the lower surface of said gliding board; and placing, preferably, an additional envelope around said board.

L'invention consiste également en un conditionnement pour une planche de glisse comportant un film apposé sur une majeure partie de la surface de glisse.The invention also consists of a packaging for a gliding board comprising a film affixed to a major part of the sliding surface.

Dans un mode de réalisation préféré, le conditionnement comprend également une enveloppe recouvrant toute ladite planche de glisse et ledit film de protection.In a preferred embodiment, the packaging also comprises an envelope covering all said gliding board and said protective film.

L'invention consiste en outre en une nouvelle méthode de conditionnement et de présentation d'une planche de glisse en magasin qui comprend au moins les étapes suivantes: réalisation d'un sous-ensemble de présentation en magasin par application sur la surface inférieure de ladite planche de glisse d'un film de protection - emballage dudit sous-ensemble de présentation par la mise en place d'une enveloppe.The invention furthermore consists of a new method of packaging and presenting a gliding board in store which comprises at least the following steps: production of a sub-assembly of presentation in the store by application on the lower surface of said sliding board of a protective film - packaging of said presentation subassembly by the establishment of an envelope.

L'invention sera mieux comprise à la lecture de la description qui suit auquel est annexé le dessin :

  • la figure 1 représente une planche de glisse à l'issu du processus de fabrication,
  • la figure 2 représente la planche de glisse selon un premier mode de réalisation de l'invention,
  • la figure 3 représente la planche de glisse selon un deuxième mode de réalisation de l'invention.
The invention will be better understood on reading the following description to which the drawing is appended:
  • the figure 1 represents a board of glide at the end of the manufacturing process,
  • the figure 2 represents the gliding board according to a first embodiment of the invention,
  • the figure 3 represents the gliding board according to a second embodiment of the invention.

La figure 1 représente une planche de glisse 1, en l'occurrence un ski de fond. Le ski est représenté en vue en perspective arrière de manière à en rendre visible la surface inférieure 2, c'est-à-dire la surface de glisse, appelée encore semelle. La planche de glisse comprend également une surface supérieure 3 sur laquelle on pourra placer les fixations de façon à retenir la chaussure de l'utilisateur.The figure 1 represents a gliding board 1, in this case a cross-country ski. The ski is shown in rear perspective view so as to make visible the lower surface 2, that is to say the sliding surface, also called sole. The gliding board also comprises an upper surface 3 on which the bindings can be placed so as to retain the user's boot.

Dans la pratique du ski de fond dit "classique", la surface inférieure 2 se divise en trois portions distinctes, une portion centrale 21 et deux portions d'extrémités, la zone avant 22 et la zone arrière 23.In the practice of the so-called "classic" cross-country ski, the lower surface 2 is divided into three distinct portions, a central portion 21 and two end portions, the front zone 22 and the rear zone 23.

Avant l'utilisation pour favoriser la glisse du ski, l'utilisateur farte les deux portions d'extrémité, c'est-à-dire qu'il enduit ces deux portions avec une matière synthétique à faible coefficient de frottement. Cette matière est couramment appelée du mot anglais de "glide Wax". La portion centrale 21 subit quant à elle un traitement différent car son revêtement doit limiter le glissement vers l'arrière. On utilise pour cela une matière différente de celle utilisée pour les deux portions d'extrémités. En tout état de cause, il est important que la surface de glisse soit parfaite, sans trous et sans éraflures.Before use to promote the skiing of the ski, the user waxes the two end portions, that is to say that it coats these two portions with a low friction synthetic material. This material is commonly referred to as the English word for "glide Wax". The central portion 21 undergoes a different treatment because its coating must limit sliding backwards. For this purpose, a material different from that used for the two end portions is used. In any case, it is important that the gliding surface is perfect, without holes and without scratches.

Le ski représenté à la figure 1 est tel qu'il est à la sortie du processus de fabrication à proprement parler, les phases de finition de la surface de glisse ayant été réalisées.The ski represented at figure 1 is such that it is at the output of the manufacturing process strictly speaking, the finishing phases of the gliding surface having been made.

Dans un premier mode de réalisation, tel que représenté à la figure 2, on protège la plus grande partie de la surface de glisse du ski avec un film 4. De préférence le film 4 recouvre les zones de contact avant et arrière et tout l'espace séparant ces deux zones de contact. Par zone de contact avant et arrière, on désigne les points qui viennent en contact avec une surface de référence plane lorsque la planche de glisse est posée dessus. Entre ces deux zones de contact, la planche de glisse n'est généralement pas en contact avec la surface de référence, elle définit un cambre. Bien entendu, l'invention ne se limite pas aux planches de glisse qui présentent un cambre sur la majeure partie de leur longueur. Les surfaces inférieures de la planche de glisse dont le cambre ne représente qu'une petite partie de leur longueur ou qui n'ont pas de cambre peuvent également être protégées par un film conformément à invention.In a first embodiment, as shown in FIG. figure 2 , it protects most of the sliding surface of the ski with a film 4. Preferably the film 4 covers the front and rear contact areas and all the space between these two contact areas. By front and rear contact area, points are designated which come into contact with a flat reference surface when the gliding board is placed on it. Between these two contact zones, the gliding board is generally not in contact with the reference surface, it defines a camber. Of course, the invention is not limited to gliding boards which have a camber over most of their length. The lower surfaces of the gliding board whose camber is only a small part of their length or which have no camber can also be protected by a film according to the invention.

Le film ne recouvre pas la surface supérieur de la planche de glisse.The film does not cover the upper surface of the gliding board.

Le film 4 choisi est un film d'épaisseur entre 0.05 et 0.15 mm, constitué de matière thermoplastique du type Polypropylène, Poly-amide ou Poly-ethylène. Mais on peut aussi imaginer tout autre matériaux thermoplastique ou cellulosique.. Il comprend une face imprégnée de colle 5 que l'on appliquera sur la surface inférieure de la planche de glisse. Les composants de la colle 5 sont tels qu'ils ne peuvent en aucun cas, dans des conditions normales, affecter le ou les matériaux constituant la surface de glisse. De plus, la colle sera choisie de telles façon que, à température ambiante et dans toutes les conditions auxquelles la planche de glisse pourra être soumise (transport, entreposage, présentation), elle ne laisse aucune trace sur la surface inférieure lorsqu'on retire le film.The film 4 chosen is a film of thickness between 0.05 and 0.15 mm, made of thermoplastic material of the Polypropylene, Poly-amide or Poly-ethylene type. But one can also imagine any other thermoplastic or cellulosic materials .. It includes a side impregnated with glue 5 that will be applied to the lower surface of the gliding board. The components of the glue 5 are such that under no circumstances can they, under normal conditions, affect the material or materials constituting the gliding surface. In addition, the glue will be chosen so that at ambient temperature and under all the conditions to which the gliding board can be subjected (transport, storage, presentation), it leaves no trace on the lower surface when removing the movie.

Dans une version alternative, le matériau du film est choisi de telle manière qu'une adhésion sans colle à la surface de glisse soit possible, par exemple par adhésion électrostatique.In an alternative version, the material of the film is chosen in such a way that adhesion without glue to the sliding surface is possible, for example by electrostatic adhesion.

Pour des raisons de coût, on privilégiera la mise en place d'un film de largeur constante. Il est cependant possible de découper le film avant ou après la pose pour l'ajuster au contour de la surface inférieure.For reasons of cost, it will be preferred to set up a film of constant width. However, it is possible to cut the film before or after the installation to adjust it to the contour of the lower surface.

La figure 3 représente la planche de glisse selon un deuxième mode de réalisation de l'invention. La planche de glisse représentée à la figure 3 est emballée dans une enveloppe avant de sortir de la fabrique.The figure 3 represents the gliding board according to a second embodiment of the invention. The board of gliding represented in the figure 3 is wrapped in an envelope before leaving the factory.

Avant de procéder à l'emballage proprement dit, on réalise alors une étape intermédiaire entre la fabrication et l'emballage. Cette étape intermédiaire consiste en l'apposition d'un film 4 sur la majeure partie de la surface inférieure.Before proceeding with the actual packaging, an intermediate step is then made between manufacture and packaging. This intermediate step consists of the apposition of a film 4 over most of the lower surface.

Comme dans le mode de réalisation précédent, la planche de glisse qui sort du processus de fabrication est semblable à celle représentée à la figure 1. On y appose un film 4 identique à celui décrit ci-dessus. Le film 4 recouvre et protège la plus grande partie de la surface de glisse, notamment toute la zone séparant les deux lignes de contact avant et arrière. Tout ce qui a été décrit pour le premier mode de réalisation concernant le film s'applique également pour celui-ci. On peut d'ailleurs utiliser un film ayant exactement les mêmes propriétés. A l'issue de cette étape intermédiaire, la planche de glisse se trouve dans le même état que la planche représentée à la figure 2. Selon la méthode de conditionnement de l'invention, on réalise dans un premier temps, un sous ensemble constitué par la planche de glisse et le film protecteur.As in the previous embodiment, the gliding board that leaves the manufacturing process is similar to that shown in FIG. figure 1 . It affixes a film 4 identical to that described above. The film 4 covers and protects most of the gliding surface, including the entire area separating the two front and rear contact lines. All that has been described for the first embodiment concerning the film also applies for this one. We can also use a film with exactly the same properties. At the end of this intermediate step, the gliding board is in the same state as the board shown in FIG. figure 2 . According to the packaging method of the invention, a subassembly constituted by the gliding board and the protective film is initially produced.

Une fois le film protecteur de la surface de glisse en place, on peut réaliser l'emballage en glissant une enveloppe 6 autour de la planche de glisse sous laquelle est apposée le film 4.Once the protective film of the gliding surface in place, can be achieved by wrapping a wrapper 6 around the gliding board under which is affixed the film 4.

L'enveloppe 6 est une enveloppe constitué d'une pellicule en matériau thermoplastique. Bien entendu, il ne s'agit pas d'une caractéristique limitative, et tous les procédés d'emballage connus conviennent dans le cadre de l'invention.The envelope 6 is an envelope consisting of a film of thermoplastic material. Of course, this is not a limiting feature, and all known packaging methods are suitable in the context of the invention.

La planche de glisse ainsi conditionnée, est prête à être livrée. Bien entendu, dans le cas où il s'agit de skis, le conditionnement se fait également par paire.The gliding board thus packaged, is ready to be delivered. Of course, in the case of skis, packaging is also in pairs.

Lorsque les planches de glisse sont réceptionnées par le vendeur, elles peuvent être protégées uniquement par le film 4 ou alors par l'ensemble du film et de l'enveloppe. Le vendeur pourra alors choisir de les mettre en présentation dans le magasin avec ou sans l'enveloppe 6. Cependant il laissera toujours le film de protection de la surface de glisse en place. Ainsi, il n'y a aucun risque de détérioration de la surface de glisse tant lors de manipulation par les acheteurs potentiels, que lors du montage des fixations. D'autre part, l'acheteur éventuel aura la possibilité de voir et de toucher la surface supérieure de la planche de glisse qui elle n'est pas recouverte par le film de protection de la surface de glisse.When the gliding boards are received by the seller, they can be protected only by the film 4 or so by the entire film and the envelope. The seller can then choose to put them in presentation in the store with or without the envelope 6. However it will always leave the protective film of the sliding surface in place. Thus, there is no risk of deterioration of the gliding surface during handling by potential buyers, as when mounting bindings. On the other hand, the prospective buyer will have the opportunity to see and touch the upper surface of the gliding board which is not covered by the protective film of the gliding surface.

De préférence, le film est transparent et il est pratiquement invisible. Ainsi, l'évaluation des couleurs et de l'aspect esthétique du ski n'est pas faussé par la présence du film.Preferably, the film is transparent and is virtually invisible. Thus, the evaluation of the colors and the aesthetic aspect of the ski is not distorted by the presence of the film.

Dans le cas où le vendeur veut s'assurer que la paire de ski correspond à son client, on pourra sans risque pour la semelle, réaliser le test d'adéquation des skis au poids du skieur. L'acheteur pourra alors ne retirer le film qu'au moment de la première utilisation ou du premier fartage.In the case where the seller wants to ensure that the pair of ski matches his client, we can safely for the sole, perform the test of fitness of the skis to the weight of the skier. The buyer will then be able to remove the film only at the time of first use or waxing.
