Definitions

  • the invention constitutes an improvement of the gliding boards used in a unique manner, and more specifically relates to the shims for raising the bindings mounted on such boards.
  • Snowboarding techniques are being developed. After a period during which we used surfing mainly in powder snow and making relatively wide turns, the practice of slalom in groomed snow, with close and fast turns attracts more and more surfers. The edges are therefore more frequently put into action, with greater angles of inclination of the board.
  • the width of the surf is mainly conditioned by the length of the surfer's shoe.
  • the disadvantage observed on existing surfboards is that if the ends of the shoe overflow, during the inclination of the board, they risk touching the snow, therefore causing the surfer to fall.
  • the objective of the invention is to allow the use of a single gliding board with a narrow median zone while avoiding the attachment of the bindings or of the boot on the snow, and this either in the case where the feet are substantially arranged across the board or in the case where these are arranged substantially along the longitudinal axis with an even narrower board.
  • At least one shoe-binding assembly overflows, at least on one side of the board by a distance (D), and in that the height H of the wedge satisfies the following formula: H ⁇ D- (E + F) in which D represents the distance between the edge of the edge on the one hand and the projection in the plane of the lower surface of the board from the outermost point of the shoe-binding assembly on the other hand.
  • the binding is raised by a sufficient height to obtain a maximum hooking angle limiting the risks of contact of the shoe-binding assembly with the snow, that is to say less than the angle of dropout.
  • the attachment angle is the angle formed by the plane of the bottom surface of the board and the surface of the snow when the board is tilted around the bottom edge of the edge, so that the end of the shoe-binding assembly extending beyond the board, touches the snow.
  • the attachment angle on a gliding board according to the invention is therefore equal to or greater than 45 °.
  • a hooking angle greater than 60 ° that is to say a wedge whose height H satisfies the following formula: H ⁇ 1.73.D- (E + F)
  • the upper surface of the wedge is parallel to the upper surface of the board.
  • the upper surface of the wedge is inclined towards the front of the shoe relative to the upper face of the board.
  • the wedge raises the rear more than the front of the shoe to correspond to the natural position of the user.
  • the height H used in the formulas is, of course, the height of the wedge at the lowest point of the shoe-binding assembly.
  • the wedge is made of a material chosen from the group containing wood, metal alloys, composite materials, and plastics.
  • the wedge also has a layer of viscoelastic material which makes it possible to absorb part of the vibrations generated by the board.
  • the wedge is produced in two distinct parts located respectively in the anterior zone and in the posterior zone of the boot.
  • the wedge has recesses capable of lightening it.
  • this can be composed of two parts, namely a stud of reduced width on which rests a plate of dimensions compatible with the fixing of the binding.
  • the height H to be taken into account is the distance between the top of the surfboard and the base of the shoe-binding assembly.
  • Figure 1 is a schematic top view of a board on which the feet are substantially across the longitudinal axis of the board.
  • Figure 2 is a top view of a narrower board in which the feet are positioned substantially along the longitudinal axis of the board.
  • Figure 3 is a section along the longitudinal plane of a shoe, of the board-wedge-binding assembly, showing the characteristic quantities of the invention.
  • Figure 4 illustrates a variant of the invention shown in Figure 3 having an inclined wedge.
  • Figures 5 and 6 are sections also along the longitudinal plane of a shoe of the invention for which the wedge is in two parts, respectively juxtaposed and superimposed.
  • the single gliding board consists of a board (1) of generally elongated shape, symmetrical with respect to a median longitudinal plane (2).
  • the invention also relates to surfboards having ends and / or asymmetrical dimension lines.
  • This board has a tightening in its middle zone (3).
  • the width L of this area is an important factor, because as already said, the current trend is to manufacture increasingly narrow surfboards.
  • the board receives two fixings (4,5) which are arranged in an inclined manner with respect to the longitudinal axis of the board.
  • these bindings (4,5) are placed across the longitudinal axis (2).
  • the angles of inclination are different between the front foot and the rear foot.
  • the axis (40) of the front leg (4) is oriented at an angle ( ⁇ ) between 20 ° and 90 ° relative to the axis longitudinal (2), the point of the foot being clearly heard directed towards the front of this position.
  • the angle ( ⁇ ) formed by the axis (50) of the rear leg (5) with the longitudinal axis (2), is between 45 ° and 110 °, that is to say that the tip of the foot can be slightly directed either towards the front or towards the rear of the board, at the convenience of the user.
  • the most commonly adopted position corresponds to 45 ° for ⁇ and 80 ° for ⁇ .
  • the axes (40, 50) of the front feet (4) and rear (5) are oriented at an angle ( ⁇ , ⁇ ) between 0 and 20 ° relative to the longitudinal axis (2) of the board.
  • the shoe (6.7) and the binding itself (8.9) form an assembly (4.5) whose length or width exceeds the width of the board, in particular with the new trend of narrow surfboards.
  • this overhanging part (D) varies according to the position of the bindings and their orientation relative to the longitudinal plane of the board.
  • the invention consists in raising the fixing (8,9) by means of a wedge (14) so as to increase the value of the angle ⁇ which conditions the limit of inclination of the board before hanging.
  • This angle ⁇ is at the top of the edge (10) of the edge (11). It is measured between the plane (12) of the lower surface of the board (1) and the plane (13) tangent to the shoe-binding assembly (4,5). This angle corresponds to the inclination limit that the board can take during tight turns, without the binding touching the snow and therefore causing the fall.
  • the shim (14) has an upper face (15) inclined relative to the upper face (16) of the board (1). This inclination corresponds in certain cases to a particular natural position preferred by the surfer because it allows a flexion of the user's leg.
  • the height H used for the calculation is the distance between the surface (16) and the lowest end of the shoe-binding assembly.
  • the wedge can be produced in several parts of different nature and / or dimensions, as illustrated in FIG. 6.
  • the portion (31) in contact with the board is a stud of reduced bearing surface, making it possible to reduce the mass of the whole.
  • a plate (30) capable of receiving the fixing.
  • the height H to be taken into account is the cumulative height of the stud (31) and plate (30) assembly.
  • the characteristic wedges of the invention can be made of any material conventionally used in the field of surfing, in particular wood, metal alloys, composite materials and plastics.
  • shim 14,31
  • a layer of viscoelastic material to absorb the vibrations generated by surfing. It will be noted that these vibrations appear more easily in an aggressive practice of surfing, with tight turns.
  • the surf according to the invention combines the possibility of using a narrow surf (160 mm instead of the 260 mm conventionally used in the narrowest median zone), therefore having a good ability to chain rapid changes of edge while maintaining an optimal foot position, that is to say either the rear foot being practically perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the surf in the case where the feet are side by side, or the feet slightly oriented transversely in the case where these are substantially one behind the other.
