FR2761612A1 - Clip to hold sheet rolled round ski stick - Google Patents

Abstract

The removable sheet (1) is rolled round the body of a ski stick (5). It is a rectangular sheet and one of its edges is joined to an elastic cylindrical cap (2). Its opposite edge is bonded to the body of the stick by a removable adhesive. When the sheet is rolled up it is held on the stick by the cap which has its edges folded back. The sheet is fixed to the stick below the handle. It is unrolled by the weight of the stick.

Description

The present invention relates to a removable device, holding a sheet wound or unwound around the body of a ski pole
In order to find your way on the ski slopes. we usually use a pocket leaflet. This document is not easy to reach. to extract and handle, taking into account the equipment (suit and pockets with closures, mittens or gloves, wrist straps for sticks). The device according to the invention avoids these manipulations.

 According to a first characteristic, it comprises a rectangular sheet. One edge of this sheet has an elastic cover, forming a cylindrical rod and the opposite edge is provided with a detachable surface fixing, intended to temporarily bring the device along the body of a ski pole.

 According to a second characteristic, when it is separated from the body of the stick, the rolled sheet is inserted into the cover.

 According to a third characteristic, when the device is put in place, the surface attachment is adjusted a few centimeters below the handle and the sheet wrapped around the body of the stick. The cover, folded around the roll thus formed, encloses and maintains the sheet, protecting it from shocks and bad weather.

 According to a fourth characteristic, during consultation of the device in place, the cover being removed, the sheet takes place under the weight of the stick. The cover is then folded down so as to present the front or back of the sheet. Thus curved, it constitutes a rigid surface held by the stick.

 According to a fifth characteristic, after consulting the device in place, the sheet is wound by turning the stick inside the folded cover, until it is tensioned.

 According to particular embodiments: - The characteristics of the rectangular sheet (format, material, thickness, printing on one or two sides, graphics, printing techniques for coating and shaping ...) are adapted according to the use (place, appearance, durability, cost, market ...).

- The detachable surface fixation can be placed in the margin directly on the edge of the sheet, or on a primer attached to the edge of the sheet.

- The detachable surface attachment can be reusable.

- The opposite edge of the sheet can be attached directly to the elastic cover or to an intermediate tab fixed to the elastic cover.

- The elastic cover can be provided with tabs, hems, chamfers or others facilitating its gripping and its handling (engagement - release - winding).

- The elastic cover can support graphics (logo, advertising ...).

The appended drawings illustrate the invention seen from above (sections of the body of the stick shown below the handle), in a particular embodiment:
Figure 1 shows the device according to the invention, the sheet (i) being completely unrolled and attached to the body of the stick (5).

FIG. 2 represents the device according to the invention, the sheet (1) being partially wound (or unwound) around the body of the stick (5).

FIG. 3 represents the device according to the invention, the sheet (1) being completely wound around the body of the stick (5) and the cover (2) folded down.

Figure 4 or Figure 5 show the device according to the invention, the cover (2) folded so as to present respectively the front or back of the sheet (1) unrolled partially or completely (not drawn).

FIG. 6 represents the device according to the invention, separated from the body of the stick (5), the rolled sheet (1) being inserted in the cover (2).

Figure (7) and Figure (8) show the plastic primer of the device according to the invention, respectively unfolded and folded.

 With reference to these drawings and in this particular embodiment, the rectangular sheet (1) of paper is lined, printed and laminated on two sides. An elastic cover (2) provided with hems (4), forming a cylindrical rod of the same width as the sheet (1), is attached to one of its edges by gluing or adhesive coating on a plastic tab (3), sealed under one of the hems (7). A plastic primer (6) is added by gluing or adhesive coating, on the opposite edge of this sheet (1). This primer (Figure 7) has a detachable surface attachment (8), intended to temporarily bring the device along the body of the stick (5). It consists of a detachable and reusable self-adhesive coating, allowing to keep and choose according to the need, the sheet corresponding to the practiced area.

 The device being separated (Figure 7) from the body of the stick (5), the plastic primer (6) is folded (Figure 8) and the rolled sheet (1) is inserted into the cover (2) for use later (Figure 6).

 When the device is put in place, the plastic primer (6) is unfolded (figure 7), adjusted (figure 1) around the body of the stick (5) a few centimeters below the handle, and closed by the fixing detachable surface (8). The sheet (1) is wrapped around the body of the stick (5). Figure 2 shows the preferred winding direction, both directions being usable. The cover (2) folded down, encloses and maintains the roller thus formed (Figure 3), completely protected by the cover (2) and its tongue (3).

 The cover (2) being removed using its hems (4), the sheet (1) is unwound (Figure 1 or Figure 2) under the weight of the stick (5). The cover (2) can then be folded over the body of the stick (5), so as to present the front or back of the sheet (1) (Figure 4 or Figure 5). The sheet (1) thus curved, forms a rigid surface held by the stick (5) during its manipulation.

 The sheet (1) is then rolled up by turning the stick (5) inside the folded down cover (2) (Figure 4 - Figure 5), until it is tensioned (Figure 3).

 The device according to the invention is particularly intended for supporting panoramas of ski areas.
