Definitions

  • the cover thus formed of which the set of struts approximately confincs four members, has a median peripheric border iii formed by the place where the two canvasses come together.
  • This border is advantageously cut at the ends of the two struts, for example, the struts 1 35, in order to allow the positioning of elastic components 11?.
  • stirrups M3 and 114 provided for receiving the users feet and using the appliance in the prone position.
  • the upper canvas 102 forms at the ends of the struts 105 various curves, particularly hollows or concavities visible particularly in FIG. 2, so as to fit the instep of the foot and avoid muscular fatigue that might result from a prolonged tension necessary for correctly holding the feet in the stirrups.
  • the appliance described above can be used for various purposes particularly for descending slopes particularly covered with snow.
  • the appliance used in this manner calls for a more or less considerably expense of muscular energy, according as to whether it is more or less inflated, and that it is advantageous in this case as a sports training appliance that is complete, remarkable for the number of various muscles necessarily brought into play during manoeuvres causing each change of trajectory. It is also possible to regulate the intensity of this training by altering the inflation pressure of the cover seeing that the muscular efforts required are proportional to said pressure which must compulsorily be overcome for causing the displacement of at least one strut in the event of a change of trajectory or that of two or four struts whenthe user wished to obtain braking stresses similar to those Well known in skiing methodsand called in snow plough.
  • FIGURE 5 shows another form of embodiment according to which the struts have at least two longitudinal ribs 121 projecting from the gliding surface and intended to avoid the positioning of protecting runners in the case where the appliance is used on slopes of frozen snow.
  • the eyelets 120 provided in the peripheric border can also be used, as shown in FIG. 6, for adapting a flexible or rigid panel or of canvas 122 thus connecting all or part of the struts so as to form a larger supporting surface.
  • This positioning is particularly appreciable when the appliance is used for mountain rescue work for ensuring the transport of an injured person whose condition necessitates a perfectly prone position.
  • one of the panels or one of the canvasses can comprise a head-rest 123 thus atfording a more comfortable position (FIG. 7).
  • the appliance can be provided with a light anchor allowing it to be fixed at a given spot so that it forms a rest platform for the user, who, for example, is under-water fishing or exploring the sea bottom.
