Abstract

The support has an adjustable self-gripping belt (2) surrounding a leg and maintaining a tibia in contact with a thin section piece e.g. spring plate (5), in form of a foam padded channel (1). The channel provides the support to be laterally rigid and flexible towards the front with a spring effect. The foam padded channel is fixed on the spring plate that is supported on top of a trail running shoe in which the support is provided.

Description

- 1 - DESCRIPTION Titre : Appui de tibia amovible pour skieur de- 1 - DESCRIPTION Title: Removable Shin Support for Skier

randonnée. Domaine technique : L'invention est destinée principalement au ski de randonnée, mais elle peut aussi être utilisée pour le ski alpin, le ski de fond, le télémark, le surf des neiges et pour 05 toute situation nécessitant un appui sur les tibias. Etat de la technique : Actuellement, les chaussures de ski de randonnée sont un compromis entre des qualités contradictoires : La rigidité pour la descente, la souplesse et la légèreté pour la montée. Malgré les dispositifs de réglage, les chaussures sont 10 soit trop souples pour la descente, soit trop rigides pour allonger le pas à la montée, ce qui fait perdre du temps. Leur poids fait perdre de l'énergie. Leur fabrication en matière plastique fait transpirer pendant l'effort de montée et provoque des ampoules.  hiking. Technical Field: The invention is intended primarily for ski touring, but it can also be used for downhill skiing, cross-country skiing, telemark, snowboarding and for any situation requiring support on the shins. State of the art: Currently, ski touring shoes are a compromise between contradictory qualities: Rigidity for the descent, flexibility and lightness for the climb. Despite the adjustment devices, the shoes are either 10 too soft for the descent, or too rigid to lengthen the pace at the climb, which is wasting time. Their weight makes you lose energy. Their manufacture of plastic material causes perspiration during the climbing effort and causes blisters.

15 Description détaillée . La présente invention est un appui de tibia amovible, qui s'utilise en complément d'une paire de chaussures, pour améliorer le maintien de la jambe pendant une descente à ski. Le skieur peut donc utiliser des chaussures de marche cramponnables, peu coûteuses et idéalement souples pour la 20 montée. Les chaussures en cuir limitent la transpiration et la formation des ampoules. Le gain de poids entre 1 et 2 Kg sur la paire de chaussures, est très supérieur au poids de l'invention de 0,5 Kg environ. La présente invention est constituée d'une pièce (5) en forme de 25 languette, construite par exemple en matériaux composites et dimensionnée pour être rigide latéralement, tout en étant flexible vers l'avant avec un effet de ressort. Une raideur parfaitement adaptée à la pratique du ski, peut être obtenue par déformation d'une pièce (5) de section mince, 30 fonctionnant comme une lame de ressort à lames. 2907344 - 2 L'effet de ressort peut aussi être obtenu par un amortisseur (10) intercalé entre un point d'attache (11) fixé sur la moitié avant du ski et une tige rigide (9) reliée à un appui de tibia. Une forme de gouttière rembourrée de mousse (1) procure un appui 05 de tibia confortable. La pièce (5) peut être constituée d'éléments pouvant coulisser et être bloqués par vis, pour un réglage en hauteur ou en longueur s'adaptant à la taille et à la pointure du skieur. Une sangle auto-agrippante (2) encercle la jambe. Des cordelettes 10 ou des sangles (7) serrées autour de la chaussure par des attaches rapides (6), permettent de maintenir le dispositif en appui sur le dessus de la chaussure (8). Des bandes de caoutchouc collées sous la languette (5), évitent au dispositif de glisser, tout en le protégeant de l'usure contre les passants de la 15 chaussure. Une cordelette (4) tendue entre un insert percé (3) et par exemple un mousqueton attaché sur la moitié avant du ski, permettent de pré-contraindre le dispositif vers l'avant du ski, c'est-à-dire d'imposer l'inclinaison et l'effort minimal à 20 fournir en début de flexion. Liste des dessins : Les figures 1 et 2 représentent le dispositif installé sur le skieur avec une vue en coupe. La figure 3 (aussi figure de l'abrégé) représente une variante. La figure 4 représente une variante avec tige et amortisseur.15 Detailed Description. The present invention is a removable tibia support, which is used in addition to a pair of shoes, to improve the maintenance of the leg during a ski descent. The skier can therefore use cramponable walking shoes, inexpensive and ideally flexible for the climb. Leather shoes limit perspiration and blistering. The weight gain between 1 and 2 kg on the pair of shoes is much greater than the weight of the invention of about 0.5 kg. The present invention consists of a tongue-shaped piece (5), constructed for example of composite materials and dimensioned to be laterally rigid, while being flexible forward with a spring effect. A stiffness perfectly adapted to the practice of skiing, can be obtained by deformation of a piece (5) of thin section, functioning as a leaf spring blade. The spring effect can also be obtained by a damper (10) interposed between an attachment point (11) fixed on the front half of the ski and a rigid rod (9) connected to a tibia support. A foam padded gutter (1) provides a comfortable tibia support. The piece (5) may consist of elements that can slide and be blocked by screws, for adjustment in height or length adapted to the size and size of the skier. A velcro strap (2) encircles the leg. Strings 10 or straps (7) tightened around the shoe by quick fasteners (6), keep the device resting on the top of the shoe (8). Rubber strips bonded under the tongue (5) prevent the device from slipping while protecting it from wear against the loops of the shoe. A cord (4) stretched between a pierced insert (3) and for example a carabiner attached to the front half of the ski, makes it possible to pre-force the device towards the front of the ski, that is to say to impose the inclination and the minimum force to be provided at the beginning of bending. List of drawings: Figures 1 and 2 show the device installed on the skier with a sectional view. Figure 3 (also figure of the abstract) represents a variant. Figure 4 shows a variant with rod and damper.

25 Réalisation de l'invention : La pièce (5) peut être réalisée par exemple en matériaux composites, en posant sur un gabarit, des couches successives de fibres, stratifiées avec de la résine époxy, le tout est démoulé après polymérisation. Une sangle ajustable auto-agrippante (2) et de la mousse (1) 30 peuvent être collées avec de la colle néoprène. Des bandes de caoutchouc peuvent être collées sous la languette. L'insert (3) peut être un pion en aluminium, avec un perçage pour faire passer une cordelette (4). La variante de la figure 4 peut être réalisée avec un amortisseur 35 (10), des pièces usinées en aluminium, un tube en fibre de carbone / époxy (9) collé à ses deux extrémités.Embodiment of the invention: The part (5) can be made for example of composite materials, by laying on a template, successive layers of fibers, laminated with epoxy resin, the whole is demolded after polymerization. An adjustable self-gripping strap (2) and foam (1) can be glued with neoprene glue. Rubber bands can be glued under the tongue. The insert (3) may be an aluminum peg, with a hole for passing a cord (4). The variant of Figure 4 can be made with a damper 35 (10), machined parts of aluminum, a carbon fiber tube / epoxy (9) glued at both ends.
