Description

Titre:
Ski et Snowboard à géométrie radiale variable.
Domaine:
Ski alpin et snowboard
Description:
Ci-dessous "ski" = par analogie snowboard.
L'invention se compose de quatre éléments de base.
* Les premiers étant deux tiges (1) en matière flexible et non compressible dont une des extrémités est composée d'un tendeur et l'autre d'une partie conique.
* Le deuxième élément est une butée fendue (2) est constitué d'une pièce rapportée où intégrée au ski sur sa surface supérieure à la hauteur de la spatule ou du talon, ou des deux. Cette pièce est en forme d'aile de raie fendue partiellement par le centre et comprenant un alésage conique dans l'axe du ski prévu pour recevoir l'extrémité conique de la pièce (1).
* Le troisième est un système de tendeur (3) situé sur l'axe de la tige (1) et qui permet d'ajuster la longueur active de celle-ci.
* Le dernier élément (4) est un ou plusieurs guides placés le long du ski pour stabiliser la tige (D-
* Mécaniquement, la modification de la géométrie radiale du ski est engendrée lors de la flexion longitudinale de celui-ci. Cette flexion provoque une modification différente des rayons de la tige et du ski ce qui entraîne une avancée de la partie conique de la tige 1 dans l'alésage conique de la partie 2 . Ce mouvement provoque l' ouverture de la partie 2 en agissant directement sur la géométrie radiale du ski. Les avantages de cette invention :
1. A plat la géométrie radiale du ski est légèrement convexe tandis qu'en courbe cette géométrie devient progressivement concave. Ce qui améliore le comportement du ski en conduite et facilite son déclenchement.
2. Offre la possibilité d'adapter les caractéristiques du ski aux conditions, par un réglage de la longueur active de la tige ou par son remplacement par une tige mieux adaptée.
3. Atténue les vibrations par l'ensemble de cette construction. Une géométrie favorisant un rendement optimal du ski dans toutes les situations.
4. L'effet "carving" est accentué pour une taille semblable.
Réalisation de l'invention
Elle est représentée par les croquis A,B,C.
1. Construction des deux tiges en fibre de carbone (1). A l'une des extrémités est collé un cône métallique à l'autre une douille collée et comportant un filetage extérieur.
2. La pièce (2) en forme d'aile de raie est en matière composite réalisée par moulage et intégrée au ski par collage. Son alésage conique est un élément rapporté résistant à l'usure.
3. La pièce (3) est un tendeur muni d'un filetage venant se viser sur la tige (1) et prenant appui sur la plaque du ski ou la fixation.
4. Guides de tiges en matière synthétique (4) et collés sur la face supérieur du ski.
5. Les pièces (2) et (4) sont fixées sur le ski aux endroits déterminés, puis les tiges (1) et les tendeurs (3) sont montés. Dessin (B). La longueur active étant ajustée par les tendeurs (3).

Claims

Revendication indépendante
1. Ski de construction sandwich ou monocoque, caractérisé par l'addition d'un système mécanique modifiant la géométrie radiale proportionnellement à la flexion du ski.
L'avancement de la tige dans la butées fendue provoque l'écartement de celle-ci et de ce fait la modification de la géométrie de la face inférieure du ski. L'avancement de la tige est généré par la différence des rayons de la tige et du ski lors de sa flexion.
Revendications dépendantes
2. Ski selon la revendication 1 , caractérisé en ce que les tiges peuvent être multiples.
3. Ski selon la revendication 1 , caractérisé en ce que les butées peuvent être multiples.
4. Ski selon la revendication 1 , caractérisé en ce que la tige soit d'une pièce sur toute la longueur du ski.
5. Ski selon la revendication 1, caractérisé en ce que la forme de la tige soit variable.
6. Ski selon la revendication 1, caractérisé en ce que la fixation soit fixée sur les tiges.
7. Ski selon la revendication 1 , caractérisé en ce que la tige soit uniquement prise entre les deux butées.
8. Ski selon la revendication 1 , caractérisé en ce que le système soie intégré sous la surface supérieure du ski.
9. Ski selon la revendication 1 , caractérisé en ce que la butée agisse comme une coulisse, ce qui fait travailler la butée autant quant la tige avance dans la butée (écartement de la butée) que quant la tige recul dans la butée (resserrement de la butée).
