Patented Dec. 22, 1936 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE Application October 24, 1934, Serial No. 749,854 In Norway November 18, 1933 3 Claims.
This invention is directed to an improvement in skis and particularly to a means for reinforcing the upturned end or ends of the ski in order to insure such parts against breakage and without materially interfering with the necessary inherent resiliency of the parts.
It not infrequently happens in the use of skis that, due to unusual strain or accident, the upturned end of the ski is broken and as this ordinarily interferes with the use of the ski and renders the same practically worthless for its intended purpose, it is desirable that the upturned end be reinforced to avoid the possibility of breakage, with such reinforcement of a character and so arranged as to avoid interference with the natural and desirable elasticity of the ski.
The primary object of the present invention, therefore, consists in the provision of a reinforcing plate or section of metal to the upper or lower surface of the ski adjacent to and including the upturned point, with the alternative construction of arranging this metallic reinforce as an embedded element in the ski.
The invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawing, in which:
Figure 1 is a perspective View showing the forward portion of a ski with the reinforce section in place on the surface.
Figure 2 is a longitudinal sectional view of the forward portion of the ski, showing the metallic reinforce embedded in the material of the ski.
The invention is applied to a conventional ski shown at l, the forward end 2 of which is upturned, as in the conventional construction.
The invention contemplates a reinforce of this upturned end to avoid breakage, and, therefore, provision is made of a metallic strip 4, preferably of spring steel and of appropriate thickness, which is secured to the ski body I at an appropriate point from the upturned. end and extends lengthwise the ski, conforming to the upturned end 2. The forward end of the reinforcing strip 4 terminates immediately adjacent the terminal of the upturned end 2 of the ski.
As illustrated in Figure 1, the reinforce strip is of a width less than that of the ski and is shown as applied to the upper surface of the ski.
Furthermore, there is no limitation intended as to the relative widths of the reinforce and ski by the illustration, it being obvious that without change or variation from the scope of the inven tion, the reinforce strip may be made of any width, and that such variation from the illustration is contemplated as part of the invention.
In Figure 2, there is shown a slight modification wherein the ski proper l is formed=with an upturned end 2 This upturned end is longitudinally slotted and in the slot is arranged a reinforcing strip 4 corresponding in material and relative Widths to the disclosure in connection with Figure 1.
In both forms shown, the reinforcing strip 4 or 4 is to be securely fixed with relation to the ski and the upturned end, rivets or screws 3 being illustrated in Figure 1.
The reinforcing strip in either form will efiectively brace the upturned end of the ski, practically avoid the breakage of this upturned edge in practically any use of the ski, and owing to the inherent resiliency of the metallic reinforcing strip, there will be no material interference with the desirable resiliency of the upturned end of the ski, which is important and desirable in such devices.
In addition to reinforcing the ski throughout the curve of the upturned end, the extension of the reinforcing strip onto the body portion of the ski proper materially aids in preventing breakage of the ski throughout the upturned end or throughout the body portion adjacent this end.
What is claimed to be new is:
1. A ski formed with an upturned end, and a reinforced metallic strip extending throughout a portion of the length of the ski and throughout substantially the full upturned end, said strip being secured on the surface of the ski.
2. A ski formed with an upturned end, and a reinforced metallic strip extending throughout a portion of the length of the ski and throughout substantially the full upturned end, said strip being embedded in the material of the ski.
3. A ski including a body having a surface-engaging face and an upturned end, and a reinforce strip to be permanently secured to the body and form a fixed part of the ski, said strip extending practically throughout the full length of the upturned end and terminating on the body immediately adjacent the upturned end, the reinforce strip being arranged wholly beyond the surface-engaging face of the ski.
