Definitions

  • the present invention lies within the general field of sports apparatus; in particular, the invention relates to an apparatus for grass skiing suitable for persons with disabilities.
  • a discipline such as grass skiing, which offers great possibilities for enjoyment by persons with disabilities, is currently a sporting discipline which is very difficult for persons with disabilities to access, because of the lack of suitable apparatuses to allow the practice of this sport.
  • Document WO 93/20911 discloses an apparatus for grass skiing according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • One object of the present invention is to overcome the aforementioned limitations, offering persons with disabilities the possibility of practicing grass skiing, with all the benefits related to the practice of this discipline.
  • the existing Alpine skiing apparatus is coupled to a movable skate formed by a track in place of the flat skate typical of snow skiing, so that the aforesaid apparatus can also slide on grass slopes.
  • the traditional coupling device mechanically equivalent to the coupling mechanism for coupling a ski boot to the skate, is replaced by a box-type section in which the movable skate is free to run and/or roll.
  • the apparatus is also associated with a directional control element which helps the athlete to direct the apparatus during the descent.
  • said directional control element may take the form of a wheel, preferably positioned in front of the movable skate in the direction of travel of the apparatus.
  • an Alpine skiing apparatus for persons with disabilities comprises a seat 10 on which the athlete is positioned.
  • the seat 10 is connected to a traditional skate 16 by means of a support frame 12, joined to a coupling device 14 mounted on the upper face of the skate 16.
  • the coupling device has a pair of opposed snap-fitting mechanisms, which fasten and lock the ends of a longitudinal plate fixed to the support frame 12.
  • the apparatus is directed, in use, by the athlete's weight balancing action, with the aid of stabilizing ski poles fitted with skates (not shown).
  • the frame 12 comprises a plurality of ribs connected to one another so as to support the seat 10.
  • the seat 10 and/or the frame 12 may be connected to a frame 11 for accommodating the athlete's legs.
  • Figure 2 shows schematically a preferred embodiment of the present invention, in which the traditional skate 16 is replaced by a movable skate 18 in the form of a track, making the apparatus capable of sliding on grass.
  • any terms and expressions indicating positions and orientations such as “longitudinal”, “transverse”, “vertical” or “horizontal”, are to be interpreted with reference to the direction of travel of the apparatus.
  • the traditional coupling device 14 configured as in the prior art is replaced by a different coupling device, which enables the movable skate 18 to run and/or rotate under it.
  • the coupling device 14 is a box-type section having, for example, a inverted U-shaped cross section, which at least partially embraces the movable skate; thus the lateral vertical uprights of the section can be connected to a base inside the movable skate, not shown here, creating a passage which allows the upper branch of the movable skate 18 to run through the coupling device 14.
  • the operating system of the movable skate 18 for grass skiing, being borrowed from the known art, is well known to those skilled in the art, and will not be detailed further.
  • the apparatus for grass skiing 9 comprises a single movable skate 18; however, it is possible to produce an apparatus for grass skiing having a pair of movable skates 18 according to embodiments which are not illustrated here.
  • an apparatus for grass skiing according to the present invention may conveniently comprise a pair of movable skates 18 separated transversely, in a similar manner to some types of Alpine skiing apparatus for persons with disabilities which comprise a pair of traditional skates 16, so as to provide greater stability and control of the apparatus 9 during the practice of grass skiing.
  • a directional control element 20 is connected to the frame 12 and/or to the coupling device 14 so that the apparatus 9 can be directed more efficiently, assisting the manoeuvring performed by the athlete.
  • the directional control element 20 is a wheel that can be orientated about a vertical axis x, and in this example it is connected to the coupling device 14 by a rigid bar 22.
  • the directional control element 20 is placed in front of the movable skate 18 in the direction of travel of the apparatus.
  • a shock-absorbing device 24 (in the form of a shock absorber coupled to a spring, for example) may be interposed between the seat 10 and the skate 18, to absorb any roughness of the slope down which the apparatus 9 is made to descend.
  • This shock-absorbing device 24 may be located vertically (as in the example illustrated here) or horizontally, according to an embodiment which is not illustrated.
  • each ski pole comprises a special handle 28 for persons with disabilities at one end, and a rounded body 30 at the opposite end, enabling the stabilizing ski pole 26 to run along the slope.
  • the rounded body 30 has a curved surface in the area of ground contact, and may or may not be rotatable. Thus the rounded body 30 replaces the traditional flat skate provided for stabilizing ski poles used in Alpine skiing by persons with disabilities.
  • the rounded body 30 is a wheel rotatable about a horizontal axis, although other solutions would be feasible, for example that of using a ball (rotatable or fixed) in place of the aforesaid wheel (according to an embodiment not shown here).
  • the stabilizing ski pole 26 may also be provided with a shock absorber, according to an embodiment not shown here.
  • the advantage which is achieved is that of having an apparatus allowing persons with disabilities to access and practice the speciality of grass skiing, profiting from the benefits that this practice provides to its participants, in particular the widespread availability of slopes suitable for the performance of this sport, and more generally their nearness to major centres of population, allowing persons with disabilities to travel more easily.
  • the apparatus for grass skiing 9 is found to be stable, controllable and safe, and therefore particularly suitable for the performance of this sporting discipline, which is becoming increasingly popular.
