Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the field of skiing, and more particularly relates to a method of carrying skis.
  • the skis of a pair of skis can generally be coupled to each other, sole against sole, by cooperation of their brakes.
  • the brake of a ski has, in the usual way, a generally U-shaped movable member with two branches extending away from a base and placed on each side of the ski.
  • the reversible attachment provided by the cooperation of the brakes is, however, precarious and can sometimes be unplanned. This can cause skis to fall, which could injure a person next to them, or could damage a ski or an object next to it (such as a car for example).
  • the method of carrying on the shoulder requires an elevation of the pair of skis for installation on the shoulder of the user. This elevation can sometimes cause risks for the entourage, especially if it is a child who performs it.
  • the method of hand carry is difficult to implement by a person with small hands, such as a child for example. And the increased width of some skis (for skiing powder snow in particular) also makes it difficult to grip the skis, regardless of the size of the user's hands.
  • the document DE 35 06 706 A1 proposes a flexible link to carry two skis arranged soleplate against midsole and coupled to each other by cooperation of intersecting branches of their brakes.
  • the flexible link is provided at each of its ends with a carabiner and a plastic fastener for forming two sliding loops for gripping the skis between the front fixing stops and the spatulas on the one hand, and between the backstops of fixing and the back of the skis on the other hand.
  • Such loops slide very easily and do not block the skis sufficiently: the vertical shocks during the walk of the user can cause regular loosening of the loop that can lead to a relative sliding of the skis and a separation.
  • the document DE 101 57 910 A1 discloses a handle having at a first end a fixed size loop for surrounding the two skis between the front fixing stops and the spatulas.
  • Two separate flexible links extend from and away from the other end of the handle.
  • Each of these flexible links is provided with a hook intended to be respectively attached to a brake arm.
  • the hooks are more precisely hooked to the brakes between the base of the brakes and the zone of crossing of the branches of brakes.
  • the skis are insufficiently held relative to each other: shocks during the march of the user can cause a relative sliding of the skis and a separation.
  • a problem proposed by the present invention is to provide a method of carrying a pair of skis that is easy and quick to implement, even by a user with small hands.
  • the present invention aims to reduce the handling of skis posing a risk of injury or damage to the environment, and also aims to reduce the risk of untimely falling skis.
  • the present invention also aims to better limit the risk of disconnection of skis by a relative sliding induced by the shocks generated during the walk of the user.
  • the skylight head knot formed around the skis, between the front fixing stops and the spatulas, provides an effective means of clamping the skis together to hold them together, in synergy with their co-operating brakes. commitment or entanglement.
  • the second end of the flexible link tends to be placed naturally at the crossing of the brake branches by squeezing around the crossing zone of the skis. two branches. This has the effect of better keeping crisscross the branches of brakes, and therefore the brakes mutually engaged. This effectively limits the risk of sliding one of the skis relative to the other, which could lead to an accidental separation of skis.
  • the center of gravity of the coupled pair of skis is necessarily between the lark's head knot and the brake limbs.
  • the user can wear his skis horizontally in a balanced manner, a bit like a suitcase. This is intuitive and easily achievable by any user, even a child.
  • the size of the first loop is fixed.
  • the first loop is thus not dangerous for children, because it would require a certain conformation by knotting to constitute a throttling element, unlike a sliding loop which can easily constitute as such a throttling element.
  • the size of the first loop is adjustable, preferably by means of a sliding fastener on the flexible link. It is thus possible to adjust the total length of the flexible link by, for example, adjusting the position of the sliding fastener on the flexible link, preferably before step b). In doing so, we adjust the height of the handle that will be carried to carry the pair of skis (ie the distance between the user's hand and the pair of skis). It is thus possible to provide a handle of sufficient height for a comfortable grip of the flexible link at its intermediate portion, without pinching the fingers of the user between the flexible link and the skis. And one can also avoid having a handful of height too important that can cause an insufficiently controlled swing of the skis and / or their contact with the ground.
  • the second loop is a means of attachment not sensitive to frost and easy to handle, even by a child.
  • the size of the second loop can be fixed or adjustable (by sliding for example).
  • the method of carrying skis is thus usable to simultaneously wear at least one ski pole, preferably both.
  • the two sticks are arranged on the side and along the pair of skis, the user can carry with one hand his pair of skis and his pair of ski poles.
  • the second embodiment of the present invention is thus also usable to simultaneously carry at least one ski pole, preferably both.
  • the two sticks are arranged on the side and along the pair of skis, the user can carry with one hand his pair of skis and his pair of poles.
  • the flexible link may be a strap.
  • a strap may have a width sufficient to constitute a comfortable handle, avoiding injuring the user's flesh during the portage.
  • a strap generally has a sufficiently small thickness to allow the user to pass easily between interlocking branches of brakes and skis.
  • the flexible link can be made of a material impervious to water. This limits the stiffness that could induce the gel, and which would affect in particular a good efficiency of the lark's head knot.
  • straps made of synthetic fibers made from petroleum can be used.
  • FIG. 1 to 3 On the Figures 1 to 3 is illustrated a first embodiment according to the invention method of carrying a pair 1 of skis 2 and 3 coupled to each other, sole-to-sole, by cooperation of their brakes 4 and 5 by interlacing their branches 4a and 5a.
  • the brakes 4 and 5 of each of the skis 2 and 3 comprise, in a known manner, a movable element having a generally U-shaped shape with two branches extending away from a base 4b or 5b and situated respectively on each side. other ski 2 or 3. Only one branch 4a or 5a of the brakes 4 and 5 is however visible on the Figures 1 to 10 .
  • the movable element is rotatably mounted about a transverse axis on its respective base 4b or 5b, and is biased in the braking position illustrated on the Figures 1 to 3 by elastic return means.
  • a lark head knot is formed by passing the second end 6b (and therefore in this case the second loop 8 provided at the second end 6b) of the flexible link 6 inside the first loop 7, as illustrated by the arrow 12 on the figure 1 .
  • the lark head knot 13 thus formed is more particularly visible on the figure 2 .
  • the second end 6b of the flexible link 6 is fixed with two arms 4a and 5a intertwined with the brakes 4 and 5.
  • the second end 6b of the flexible link 6 is fixed to the two branches 4a and 5a via the second loop 8.
  • the second loop 8 surrounds the crossing zone of the two branches 4a and 5a intersecting.
  • the pair 1 of skis 2 and 3 are lifted by grasping the flexible link 6 at its intermediate section. 9, as illustrated on the figure 3 .
  • the user can then lift the pair 1 of skis 2 and 3 as illustrated by the arrow 14.
  • the center of gravity of the pair 1 of skis 2 and 3 coupled necessarily between the lark head knot 13 and the brakes 4 and 5, the pair 1 of skis 2 and 3 is naturally placed in a horizontal position to be worn like a suitcase.
  • the lark head knot 13 tightens around the skis 2 and 3.
  • the second loop 8 stretches and grips the crossing zone of the two branches 4a and 5a. intertwined. This limits the risk of sliding of one of the skis 2 and 3 relative to each other and therefore contributes to keeping the brakes 4 and 5 engaged mutually.
  • the first loop 7 has a size that is fixed.
  • the size of the first loop 7 can be adjustable by means of a sliding fastener 15 on the flexible link 6.
  • the sliding fastener 15 makes it possible to adjust the total length of the flexible link 6, preferably before step b ) illustrated on the figure 4 .
  • the handle formed by the flexible link 6 has a height H adjusted to be neither too large (to avoid an uncontrolled swing of the pair 1 of skis 2 and 3) nor too low (to avoid hindering the introduction fingers of the user between the flexible link 6 and the pair of skis 2 and 3).
  • the method according to the first embodiment of the invention explained in connection with the Figures 1 to 5 also makes it possible to attach ski poles 16 and 17 to the pair of skis 2 and 3 so that the user can wear his skis 2 and 3 and his ski poles 16 and 17 with one and the same hand.
  • the ski poles 16 and 17 are arranged on the side and along the pair 1 of skis 2 and 3, said ski poles 16 and 17 adjoining a pair of two branches 4a and 5a. interspersed with brakes 4 and 5. Then, during step b), the lark head node 13 is formed around the portion P of the skis 2 and 3 between the front fixing stops 10 and the spatulas 11, but also around the ski poles 16 and 17. Finally, during step d), the ski poles 16 and 17 are engaged in the second loop 8.
  • the lark head knot 13 When carrying the pair 1 of skis 2 and 3, the lark head knot 13 tightens and slams the ski poles 16 and 17 against the pair 1 of skis 2 and 3 to keep them in place along the skis 2 and 3.
  • ski poles 16 and 17 illustrated on the figure 9 we can prefer the arrangement illustrated on the figure 11 .
  • the ski poles 16 and 17 are not engaged in the second loop 8.
  • a section of the second loop 8 penetrates between the free ends of the two branches 4a and 5a, and passes over the ski poles 16 and 17 .
  • FIG. 6 to 8 is illustrated a second embodiment of carrying method according to the invention.
  • the flexible link 6 does not have at its second end 6b of second loop 8, but has a hooking member 18.
  • the hooking member may consist of an open hook, a quick chain link, or a carabiner with a locking finger.
  • the hooking member 18 is of the locking finger carabiner type 19.
  • the second embodiment of carrying method according to the invention differs from the first embodiment of carrying method in that, in step c), is passed a section 60 of the flexible link 6 located in the vicinity of the second end 6b between the skis 2 and 3 and the arms 4a and 5a intertwined with the brakes 4 and 5. Then, the hooking member 18 is hooked to the brake limb 4a, and preferably as illustrated in FIGS. Figures 7 and 8 between the crossing zone of the branches 4a, 5a and the base 4b of the brake 4, while overlapping externally with the second end 6b on the branch 5a of the other brake 5.
  • the second embodiment of carrying method is also compatible with the presence of ski poles 16 and 17 arranged on the side and the along the pair 1 of skis 2 and 3, said sticks 16 and 17 adjoining the two branches 4a and 5a intersecting with the brakes 4 and 5 (see FIG. figure 10 ).
  • ski poles 16 and 17 are arranged along the pair 1 of skis 2 and 3 prior to step b). Then, during step b), the lark head knot 13 is formed around the skis 2 and 3 but also around the ski poles 16 and 17. Finally, during step c), before hooking the hooking member 18 to the ski brake 4, the second end 6b of the flexible link 6 is brought to the outside of the branch 5a of the brake 5 but also externally covering ski poles 16 and 17.
  • the lark head knot 13 will tighten and flatten the ski poles 16 and 17 against the skis 2 and 3 on the one hand, and the portion 60 of the flexible link 6 will also tighten around the ski poles 16 and 17 and the crossing zone of the branches 4a and 5a of the brakes 4 and 5 on the other hand.
  • the ski poles 16 and 17 are thus held fixed on the skis 2 and 3 in two distinct locations of their length.
  • the first loop 7 is slidable to allow an adjustment of its size.
  • the first loop 7 may, however, be fixed.
  • a disposition of the ski poles 16 and 17 similar to that illustrated on the figure 11 is also feasible. To do this, a portion of the section 60 of the flexible link 6 penetrates between the free ends of the two branches 4a and 5a by passing above (in other words, external covering) ski poles 16 and 17.
  • step c the flexible link 6 is hooked to the only brake below, that is to say the brake 5 (the brake 4 coming to external recovery of the brake 5).
  • the flexible link 6 is attached to the arm 5a of the brake 5 in an area between the crossing zone of the brakes 4 and 5 and the free end of the arm 5a. In this way, although being fixed only to the brake 5, the flexible link 6 limits the risks of a separation of the brakes 4 and 5.
  • the flexible link 6 is provided with a second loop 8 which surrounds the arm 5a of the brake 5.
  • the size of the second loop 8 can be fixed or adjustable. Ski poles 16 and 17 can be introduced inside the second loop 8.
  • the flexible link 6 may be provided at its second end 6b, a hooking member 18 (such as a carabiner locking finger).
  • a hooking member 18 such as a carabiner locking finger.
