Definitions

  • My invention relates to skis and more particularly to skis with anti-slip means.
  • Anti-slip means for skis comprising a brake member or members projecting from the lower surface of the ski have already been proposed, but such means are not satisfactory.
  • the brake members either were too weak, f. i. they consisted of bristles, hooks or the like, or, if of greater strength, involved the draw-back that snow and ice penetrated into the apertures the members are sliding in, obstructing or preventing altogether the shifting of the brake members.
  • a block as the brake member which is mounted to slide in an aperture in the ski transversely to the lower surface of the ski and makes a tight fit in such aperture, in combination with manual means for reciprocating the block in its aperture.
  • the manual means for reciprocating the block is so designed that the lower surface of the block is flush with the lower surface of the ski in its retracted position.
  • AI may provide more than one block in combination with a mechanism which is operatively l connected to the manual means, so that the blocks are reciprocated in unison.
  • a ski in which the aforesaid mechanism comprises wedge-shaped members for reciproeating the block is illustrated in Figs. 1-8 and a ski in which the aforesaid mechanism comprises a system of racks and pinions is illustrated in Figs. 9-11.
  • FIGs. 1 and 2 are longitudinal central sections illustrating a ski of the rst mentioned type with its block, or one of its blocks, in retracted and in active position respectively.
  • Fig. 3 is a plan View of the ski illustrated in Figs. 1 and 2 with its top plate partly broken away to expose the wedge members for recipro' eating the block and one ofthe members partly broken away to expose the block which is below this member, the position of parts illustrated in Fig. 3 corresponding to that in Fig. 2.
  • Fig. 4 is a plan view of a complete ski showing the several plates or layers it is made of.
  • Fig. 5 is a section on the line 5--5 in Fig. 4.
  • Fig. 6 is a section on the line 6 6 in Fig. 4.
  • Fig. 7 is a section on the line 1-1 in Fig. 4.
  • Fig. 8 is a section on the line 8-8 in Fig. 4.
  • Fig. 9 is a fragmentary plan View illustrating the ski of the second type referred to with a rack and pinion mechanism, the top plate of the runner I is made concave in its central portion, ⁇ as best seen in Fig. 7, and curved portions con-v nect the concave portion to the sides of the runner where it has its original thickness.
  • lateral projections or skids are formed along the sides of the runner by which the keeping of the track is facilitated.
  • a pair of strips or spacing members 3 extend for a. certain portion of the total length of the ski, and secured to the spacing members @byV rivets 4 is a top plate 2 as best seen in Fig. 5.
  • the spacing members 3 dene av cavity betweentheflowersurface of the top plate 2 and the upper surface of the runner I. This cavity serves for the reception of a block or a plurality of blocks 5, which, as best seen in Fig. 5, are
  • Fig. 5 shows the block in its retracted position in which its lower surface is flush with the concave central portion of the runner l.
  • Wedges 8 are placed on the slides and engage below the flanges 6 of thek block 5.
  • a pair of wedges 8 engages below theflanges 6 of the block 5 the block is retractedinto the position in which its lower surface is ilush with the lower surface of the central portion of the runner I, as shown in Figs. 1 and 5.l Arranged between each pair of retracting Wedges.
  • a supportingl rplate I0 of U-shaped section is placed on the top plate 2, Fig. 7, and held by a pair of angular strips 24, Whose inner edges are recessed to en-V gage over corresponding flanges at the sides of the supporting plate I0. Rivets 25, which extend from the lower surface of the skids at the sides of the runner I as far as the top of the strips 24, hold the strips onthe top plate.
  • the top plate I0 supports a guiding plate II, which is placed on top of the strips 24, and the outer or long rivets' 25 at this portion of the ski are eX- tended beyondthe strips 24 forv the thickness of the guiding plate II. 'I'he top plate 2, the
  • the guiding plate II is slotted at I 2, andcor"' responding slots are made ⁇ in thel supporting plate I 0 and the top plate 2 for the reception of a pin 21, whose lower end is threaded and inserted in a bridge member I3 connecting the slides 1. erably slightly dished so that its elastic reaction exerts pressure and friction against the 'guiding ner I, the top plate 2 which, as described, is somee whatshorter than the ski, the supporting platev I0 which is againshorter than the top plate, and
  • the side portions ofthe supportingplate I0 are in'this manner connected to the top plate 2 and'to theguid- 1 ing plate -II onlyfor a comparatively short distance and beyond the side portions are'only conl nected tothe guiding plate II bythe short rivets I 26.5
  • the 'long CII provided only with a runner I with its concave central portion, the spacers 3, and the top plate 2 which dene a cavity in the ski.
  • the blocks 5, two of which are shown in Fig. 9, are made hollow or trough-shaped for the purpose specified and slide with a tight t in apertures in the central portion of the runner I'.
  • Fig. 10' shows one of the blocks in its active position, and the top plate' 2 is recessed for the reception of the upper end of the retracted block. In this construction, the front ends of the blocks, that is,
  • the pin has a flange 28 whicl'rgispref-V 8'-8, Fig.- 8,- the supporting plate I0 is rigidly l lconnected to the top: plate 2 and the guiding plate I'I, so Vthat relative longitudinal movement i of the members doesnot occur, while in-the region Yof the section C-C, Fig. 6the tcp plate 2' on the one hand and thesupporting and guiding plates I0- and II onv the other hand can perform small relativemovement, which greatly increases the'elasticity of theA ski.
  • the several parts of the ski includingfthe block vor blocks v5, are made ofv artificial l resin with or without insertions of fabric.
  • the block, or blocks, 5 is normally'held'l in the retracted position, illustrated ,inl Figs; 1 and 5, by the ,two wedges 8; when it is desired; to move Ythe block, or blocks, 5 into theV active position, the pin 21 is pushed in forward direction' by its handle 29; This moves the slides ⁇ 1fto the Vleft in Fig: 1, so that the wedges 8 arev ⁇ withdrawn' from below the anges 610i? the block 5, and the wedge 9 now engages the angesfrom above andA moves the blockV 5 into its active position, as. shown in Figs. 2', 3 and 6.
  • the ski is pointed. Bly the mechanism which will be described the blocks can be placed in any intermediate kposition between their nal active and retracted positions.
  • the blocks 5 are partly advanced and form pointed ridges at the centre of the ski.
  • the resistance of the blocks is practically nil ⁇ on account of their pointed front ends.
  • Pinions 3l on shafts 32 engage in racks 4I] in the sides of the blocks 5 and are mounted to rotate in bearings spacing members 3. Rotation is imparted to the shafts 32 bythe gearing illustrated in Fig. 11V.
  • Racks 40 ⁇ and v4I are mounted to slide below the top plate 2, as shown for the rack 4I in Fig. 11, and teeth in the lower face ofk each rack mesh, respectively, with central pinions 3io on the shafts 32.
  • the pinion 35 at Ythe lower end of a vertical shaft 36 meshes with a row of teeth 38 at the inner side of the' rack t0, and a similar row of teeth 39 at the inner'sideof the rack 4I.
  • the shaft 36 is mounted v'to rotate in the top plate 2 and is' provided with a knurled handle 31 for turning it. VWhen the handle is turned'clockwise, as indicated bythe arrow in Fig. 9, the two racks 4IJ'andy 4I are moved inwardly. This causes the shafts 32 to be rotated in opposite directions, and the blocks 5 to be movedinto their active position,'as shown in Fig. 10. Rotation 'of the handle 31 in the opposite direction causes retraction of the blocks into their inactive position.
  • any intermediate position bletween the nal'retracted and nal active posi-k tions can be given to the blocks so that they can be made to assist to a greater or lesser eX- tent in the keeping vof the track by the skids at the sides of the runner I.
