Abstract

The device for holding two skis together for skiing consists of two pairs of supports (1,1',2,2') that are fixed to the front and back of the skis. Each support has a hole, parallel to the axis of the ski, in which two rods (4,4') are fitted, permanently or removably. The rods can pivot in the supports to allow the skis to pivot round their longitudinal axes. The supports can pivot on an axle fixed to the ski. The rods can be hinged in the middle and can be made in a supple flexible material.

Description

La présente invention a pour objet un dispositif déstine à maintenir les skis parallèles pendant la pratique du ski. De nombreuses chutes sont du au fait que les spatules ou les talons des skis se croisent. D'autre part, le débutant a toujours tendance à trop écarter les skis. En ce qui concerne le monoski, celui-ci présente l'inconvénient de ne porter que sur une seule carre lors de virage ou de traversée en pente, d'où équilibre instable. En outre, il ne peut être utilisé que comme tel. The present invention relates to a device intended to keep skis parallel during skiing. Many falls are due to the fact that the tips or the heels of the skis cross. On the other hand, the beginner always tends to spread the skis too far. With regard to the monoski, it has the disadvantage of bearing only on a single edge when cornering or crossing on a slope, hence unstable balance. In addition, it can only be used as such.

La présente invention obvie à ces inconvénients. En se référent à la figure
I et 2 le dispositif est essentiellement constitué par deux paires de supports
I, I' et 2, 2' dont l'un I est fixé à l'avant de la fixation du ski, de préférence près de la spatule, l'autre à l'arrière de la fixation 2. Chaque support comporte un logement 3 dont l'axe est parallèle à l'axe du ski. Une tringle cindrée 4 dont les deux extrémités 5 formant pivots prennent position dans les logements 3 des deux supports opposés I, I' fixés près des spatules pour relier ainsi les deux skis et maintenir leur écartement fixe. Une deuxième tringle cindrée 4' relie de la mens façon les deux supports 2 et 2' fixés à l'arrière des fixations des skis, permettant de cette façon de maintenir les skis parfaitement parallèles.The present invention overcomes these drawbacks. Referring to the figure
I and 2 the device essentially consists of two pairs of supports
I, I 'and 2, 2' of which one I is fixed at the front of the ski binding, preferably near the tip, the other at the back of the binding 2. Each support has a housing 3 whose axis is parallel to the axis of the ski. A rod bent 4 whose two ends 5 forming pivots take position in the housings 3 of the two opposite supports I, I 'fixed near the spatulas to thus connect the two skis and maintain their fixed spacing. A second beaded rod 4 'connects in the mens way the two supports 2 and 2' fixed to the rear of the ski bindings, thereby allowing the skis to be kept perfectly parallel.

Une variante du dispositif est illustrée par la figure 3 qui représente une vue en coupe d'un support pivotant autour de son axe vertical, constitué par une plaque support 6 vissée sur le ski en maintenant une entrtoise pivotante 7. Complèté par la tringle 4, ce dispositif monté près des spatules comporte, ainsi, une double articulation assurant à la fois le pivotement des skis autour de leurs axes et l'écartement de l'arrière des skis par rapport aux spatules. Les tringles 4 et 4' étant amovibles, le dispositif permet trois façon différentes de skier:
I) la pratique du ski traditionnelle en enlevant les deux tringles.A variant of the device is illustrated by FIG. 3 which represents a sectional view of a support pivoting about its vertical axis, constituted by a support plate 6 screwed onto the ski while maintaining a pivoting spacer 7. Completed by the rod 4, this device mounted near the spatulas thus comprises a double articulation ensuring both the pivoting of the skis around their axes and the spacing of the rear of the skis relative to the spatulas. The rods 4 and 4 'being removable, the device allows three different ways of skiing:
I) the practice of traditional skiing by removing the two rods.

2) la pratique pour débutant en mettant en place la tringle avant. 2) practice for beginners by installing the front rod.

3) pour skieur confirmé les deux tringles en place. 3) for confirmed skiers, the two rods in place.

Ce systême permet, en outre, une nouvelle technique évolutive pour la pratique du ski. Dans un premier temps le débutant utilisera le dispositif doublement articulé monté sur l'avant des skis qui lui permettra de pratiquer le chass,e-nei2e tout en maintenant fixe l'écartement entre les deux spatules. Dans un deuxième temps l'élève mettra en place la deuxième tringle, reliant l'arrière des deux skis, pour maintenir les skis parfaitement parallèles tout en assurant une parfaite prise de carres des deux skis. This system also allows a new evolutionary technique for skiing. Initially the beginner will use the doubly articulated device mounted on the front of the skis which will allow him to practice hunting, e-nei2e while keeping the distance between the two spatulas fixed. In a second step the student will put in place the second rod, connecting the rear of the two skis, to keep the skis perfectly parallel while ensuring a perfect edge grip of the two skis.

a figure 4 représente le support pivozant autour d'un axe vertical 8 permettant à la tringle 4 la rotation de 900 pour s'aliner sur l'axe longibudnsl du ski et être verrouillée contre la butée 10 pour la pratique du ski traditionnelle. L'angle 9 du support 6 peut servir de butée à la tringle 4 pour délimiter l'écartement des talons de ski penuant la pratique du chasse neige. a Figure 4 shows the support pivoting around a vertical axis 8 allowing the rod 4 the rotation of 900 to align with the longibudnsl axis of the ski and be locked against the stop 10 for the practice of traditional skiing. The angle 9 of the support 6 can serve as a stop for the rod 4 to delimit the spacing of the ski heels while practicing snow plowing.

La figure 5 montre la tringle 4 comportant, soit une articulation centrale II, solt une articulation II' à chaque extrémité. Cette tringle articulée représente une variante en remplacement du support à pivot 8. FIG. 5 shows the rod 4 comprising, that is to say a central articulation II, a articulation II 'at each end. This articulated rod represents a variant replacing the pivot support 8.
