ES2370480A1 - Edges for skis, snowboards and ice skates - Google Patents

Abstract

Edges for skis, snowboards and ice skates, that through the incorporation of more than one edge make it possible to increase grip in turns and stops. Especially applicable in the snow- or ice-sliding sports sector, where edges with such characteristics are required.

Description

Singing applicable to skis, snowboards and ice skating.

Object of the invention

The object of the present invention patent is introduce a new song applicable to skis, snowboards and ice skates, which by incorporating more than one edge allow to increase the grip on turns and braking.

This new type of song applicable to skis, Snowboards and ice skates have special application in the sports sector of sliding on snow or ice, where some songs with these characteristics are required.

Background of the invention

The songs applicable to skis, tables Snowboards and ice skates have two facets in common:

1. Reduce the friction with the surface to Get faster

2. Ensure a grip with the surface on the turns and braking.

Currently to get a better grip metal corners are used in turns and braking, reinforced in some cases with different types of treatments, or combining various materials in its manufacture, but always in the case of a single song.

The evolution in the use of different materials, as well as the development of new designs has allowed to configure built-in and non-overlapping metal edges.

To control the progress on the ground, they make a series of turns and the edges ensure the grip on the surface. As a steeper turn is made, the singing produces a greater grip with the surface.

The greatest grip power occurs when the singing leans at a certain angle and from this Tilt is reduced grip.

Both snow and ice do not offer a homogeneous surface as hardness and homogeneity vary according to temperatures, humidity and winds. Sliding down one non-homogeneous surface, there are times when you enter a zone of greater hardness which forces to increase the inclination. If the tilt is past the point of maximum grip, decreases the grip power and the situation can cause a loss of control or a fall.

The development of sports focuses on its majority in increasing speed or performing more complex maneuvers and risky. In any of these cases these new techniques put greater demand on the materials and the design of the products so that control and safety can be maintained in the Exercise of these sports.

Achieving greater grip contributes to achieve both greater control and more security when exercising this sports.

The songs that exist today have partially managed to increase control and security, but they have the limitation of having only one song, with the various limitations that entails.

Description of the invention

To alleviate or eliminate problems mentioned above, this new type of song is presented to skis, snowboards and ice skates, which through the incorporation of more than one song allows to increase the grip on the turns and braking.

By increasing the number of songs, you get Greater grip against the surface.

The combination of the number of songs and their alignment (either straight or curved) must be determined according to the skiing or skating techniques that are intended to be performed. The straight alignment may be more appropriate for turning Short and powerful while curved alignment can be better adapted to make long turns and at high speed.

Description of the drawings

To complement the description that is being performing, and in order to help a better understanding of the characteristics of the invention, is accompanied herein descriptive, as an integral part of it, a series of figures in which, for illustrative and non-limiting purposes, represented the following:

- Figure 1: Cross-sectional view of different examples of songs with different vertical distances and horizontal between the same songs.

- Figure 2: Cross-sectional view of different examples of songs where these are arranged in a straight line each other and with different inclination with respect to the plane horizontal.

- Figure 3: Cross-sectional view of different examples of songs where they define different forms curves

- Figure 4: Cross-sectional view of different examples of songs where they define right angles, flattened and pointed, combining these with different angles, and separated from each other by different vertical distances.

Preferred Embodiment of the Invention

The song applicable to skis, snowboards and ice skates, object of the present invention patent, allows by incorporating more than one song to increase the grip on turns and braking.

These songs can have different types of angulation both curved and straight, as well as combined with each other, being able to constitute different geometric forms.

These can be combined or not, in different sections along the ski, being able to have different lengths to throughout it.

You can combine different songs of different forms in different sections along the ski, both in shape continuous, as discontinuous, or combined.

The partial horizontal distances that They exist between the different songs can be variable.

The partial vertical distances that exist between the different songs can be variable.

Different songs can be in a straight line each other and with different inclination with respect to the plane horizontal sliding.

Once nature is sufficiently described of the present invention, as well as a way of bringing it to the practice, it only remains to be added that said invention can suffer certain variations in form and materials, as long as these alterations do not substantially vary the characteristics which are claimed below.
