Definitions

  • the invention relates to the field of sliding sports, and more specifically to that of alpine skiing. It relates to a small ski board geometry, which nevertheless proves particularly manageable while maintaining a behavior substantially equivalent to that of a traditional ski size.
  • the optimal length of a ski is determined according to the size of the user, its weight, and its technical level.
  • a ski must have a length substantially between 10 and 20 centimeters more than the size of the user.
  • flexural stiffness Another parameter involved in the design of a ski is its flexural stiffness. This stiffness makes it possible to distribute the weight of the skier on the snow. It is defined more or less empirically by the ski manufacturers so that, the ski being laid flat, the maximum load is under the feet of the skier, this load decreasing towards the ends of the ski.
  • One of the objectives of the invention is to provide a shorter ski than the skis traditionally used for a given user size, which allows a good precision in driving by the effective transmission of the forces exerted by the skier over the entire length of the ski. the odds line.
  • line of dimensions or line of edges we mean the curve defined by the edge of the edge from one end to the other of the ski. It is generally measured by determining the distance variation of the edge of the edge relative to the median longitudinal plane of the ski.
  • the invention therefore relates to an alpine ski which is broken down along its length into a spatula zone, a skate zone, and a heel zone, and whose dimension line is such that the skate zone has a minimum width level, the spatula zone. has a maximum front width level, and the heel area has a maximum rear width level.
  • An alpine ski in accordance with the invention is characterized by the combination of several dimensional mechanical parameters which thus make it possible to have the same behavior as traditional skis of about twenty centimeters longer, but thus improving its maneuverability.
  • the radius of the dimension line calculated from three points of the dimension line located respectively at the maximum rear width level, at the maximum front width level, and in the middle of these two levels. , is between 7 and 21 meters.
  • the pressure distribution on the edge is one of the paramount factors in the proper functioning of a ski, that is to say in its ability to fit into a curve and to maintain its trajectory without skidding or chattering. .
  • the ski according to the invention has a distribution of the pressure of the edges along the line of dimensions, such that when the ski is disposed on a flat surface, so that its sole forms an angle of 45 With said flat surface, and that the ski receives at the level of the middle of the shoe a force of 400 Newton perpendicular to its gliding surface, the pressures measured along the dimension line differ by less than 10% from the average value. the three pressures measured respectively at the maximum rear width level, at the minimum width level of the pad, and at the maximum front width level.
  • the forces exerted by the skier, especially when he executes the turn are very regularly and almost uniformly distributed along the line of edges, which ensures an optimal driving of the turn .
  • the skis of the prior art have a pressure distribution on the edge line which is such that the majority of efforts are transmitted to the level of the skate zone, and more precisely to the foot of the shoe, while that the front and rear areas of the board transmit a very small part of efforts.
  • This stiffness adjustment is obtained correctly, either by adding reinforcements in the appropriate areas, or by adjusting the thickness of the ski so as to vary the distance of the reinforcements relative to the neutral fiber.
  • the distribution of pressures along the edge line is such that the pressure value measured at the level of the maximum width of the bead is slightly greater than the pressure value measured at the level of the maximum width of the spatula.
  • the efforts exerted by the skier during the turn are distributed almost uniformly between the front and the back of the ski, because during the turn, the effort exerted by the skier is positioned in front of the middle of the shoe, this which compensates for the characteristic pressure distribution determined with a static load located exactly at the level of the middle of the shoe.
  • skis according to the invention are of smaller size than traditional skis. However, they are not equivalent to classic but shorter skis, ie skis used normally or by small people. size or even by children, or by people of low weight or low muscle mass.
  • the ski according to the invention must be stiffer in bending to withstand heavy loads and more powerful pulses.
  • Such stiffness therefore contributes to giving the ski of shorter length behavior equivalent to that of a longer ski.
  • the skis according to the invention have a total length, measured between the front and rear ends of the ski of between 1300 and 1740 millimeters.
  • the invention relates to an alpine ski whose geometry and stiffness distribution are distinguished from the prior art to give a ski of short length, the behavior of a traditional ski of much greater length.
  • Such a configuration therefore makes it possible to very significantly improve the handling of the ski in use as well as the off-use handling operations.
  • the ski according to the invention is characterized by a number of dimensional and mechanical parameters which, combined, make it possible to optimize the behavior of the ski.
  • skis according to the invention have sizes well below the sizes usually used by skiers of equivalent level.
  • a size correspondence table is reproduced below in which the first column corresponds to the sizes in centimeters of traditional skis, and the second column corresponds to the size of skis according to the corresponding invention.
  • Traditional ski size Ski size according to the invention 195 174 184-191 167 184-177 160 177-160 150 160 140 150 130
  • the skis according to the invention have a size between 10 and 20 centimeters lower than traditional skis, while they have the same behavior, which suggests significant gains in handling and space.
  • a ski (1) according to the invention has a spatula (2) whose maximum width (Ls) is between 102 and 108 millimeters, the shoe (3) has a minimum width (Lp) between 64 and 70 millimeters, while the heel (4) has a maximum width (Lt) of between 92 and 100 millimeters.
  • the spatula has a maximum width of 103 millimeters, the slider a minimum width of 65 millimeters and the heel a maximum width of 93 millimeters.
  • skis according to the invention have a shorter length than traditional skis, they have on the other hand an increased width, in particular spatula and heel, to present an equivalent load bearing surface.
  • the measurement of the load bearing surface of a ski according to the invention of size 167 cm is 0.108 m 2 to be compared with the 0.114 m 2 of a traditional ski of size 191 cm with equivalent behavior.
  • the definition of a dimension line is also translated by the value of the theoretical radius passing through three points (5, 6, 7) of the line of dimensions situated respectively, as illustrated in FIG. 1.
  • the first point (5) is located at the maximum width level of the spatula (2).
  • the second point (7) is at the level of maximum width of the heel (4).
  • the third point (6) is located on the dimension line equidistant from the other two points (5, 7) of maximum width.
  • the ski whose particular parameters are defined above has a theoretical radius of curvature equal to 16.4 meters, compared to the theoretical radius of curvature of a corresponding traditional ski, close to 30 meters.
  • the invention is not limited to this single dimension line radius value, but covers the various variants in which the dimension line radius is between 7 and 21 meters.
  • the ski according to the invention must have an increased stiffness compared to the equivalent ski of greater size, to withstand on the one hand to higher loads, and on the other hand, to pulses more powerful.
  • stiffnesses are measured as follows (see Figure 2).
  • the ski is placed flat between two supports, and receives a load (F 2 , F 3 , F 4 ) of 40 kg, corresponding to half the weight of a skier of 80 kg. This load of 40 kg is applied equidistant from the two supports.
  • the stiffness of these different zones is determined by positioning the different supports at precise positions.
  • a first support (10) is arranged at the level of the rear contact line (L CAR ) the other support (11) being arranged further forward, at a distance equal to 5/18 th of the bearing length (L PORT ).
  • a first support (11) is arranged at 5/18 th of the bearing length, starting from the rear contact line (L CAR ).
  • the second support (12) is disposed in front of this first support (11) at a distance equal to 4/9 th of the bearing length (L PORT ).
  • the front support (12) of the measurement of the stiffness in zone skid is preserved, the second support (13) then being arranged at the level of the line of contact before (L CAV ).
  • the supports are respectively disposed at the following distances counted from the rear contact line (L CAR ) Heel area 0 and 399 millimeters Skate area 399 millimeters and 1,036 millimeters Spatula area 1,036 millimeters and 1,435 millimeters
  • the invention is not limited to these stiffness determination values alone, but covers wider ranges for which the deformation in the heel zone is between 60 and 70 millimeters, the deformation in the skid zone is between 50 and 60 millimeters, and the deformation in spatula zone is between 65 and 75 millimeters.
  • another mechanical parameter of the ski according to the invention relates to the distribution of pressure on the edge which is particularly constant, in comparison with the distribution measured on a traditional ski, which is clearly irregular with a maximum pressure of pressure. measured at the skate zone.
  • the ski (1) is placed on a test table equipped with pressure sensors arranged at regular intervals, each spaced apart by 8 millimeters.
  • the ski is disposed on this test table (20) in such a way that its sole (22) forms an angle ( ⁇ ) of 45 ° with respect to the test table (20), as illustrated in FIG.
  • the ski receives a force (F 5 ) exerted by a suitable apparatus, with an intensity of 400 Newtons, corresponding substantially to half the weight of a skier of 80 kg, this force being exerted perpendicular to the surface (22) of slip from the ski.
  • F 5 a force exerted by a suitable apparatus
  • the ski Under the load, the ski is deformed until the edge of the edge (23) comes over its entire bearing length, in contact with the test table (20), which therefore allows via the gauges (21) to measure the pressure at each point of the line of dimensions, at an interval of the order of 8 millimeters.
  • the ski rests diagonally on its two points of maximum width, spatula and heel. Then, under load, the ski gets hanger, that is to say that the pad area descends below its end zones until it comes to press on the measurement table.
  • the force sensors (21) measure the applied pressure.
  • the measurement given in ordinate is a value of pressure whereas the abscissa represents the length of the ski. To account for distributions measured on skis of different sizes, the pressure value is not calibrated, but corresponds to relative levels.
  • FIG. 5 illustrates the distribution of the pressure measured according to the same technique on a traditional ski of size 191 centimeters, corresponding in behavior to that of the ski of size 167 according to the invention.
  • skis according to the invention being shorter, they are much easier to store and transport.
