Abstract

A ski-shoe for traveling on snow has an elongated generally flat base plate having an upwardly curved front end and a pair of longitudinally extending side edges. Respective upright sides extending the full length of the base plate have lower edges joined to the side edges of the base plate. A pair of side rails extending outwardly and downwardly from the upper edges of the sides and having lower edges lying above the base plate form downwardly open channels with the respective sides. The foot of the user is secured to the base plaate between its front and rear ends and between these sides. At least one flap is pivotal underneath the base plate between an axis lying ahead of the flap between an upper position lying generally against the base plate and a down position extending transversely downwardly from the base plate. The sides, rails, and base plate all are made integrally of a synthetic resin and the device has an overall length of less than 1 meter.

Description

La présente invention a pour objet un appareil permettant de se déplacer sur la neige, quelle que soit la qualité de celle-ci, en terrain plat ou en pente tant à la montée qu'à la descente.The subject of the present invention is an apparatus making it possible to move on snow, whatever the quality thereof, on flat or sloping ground both when climbing and when descending.

Il existe essentiellement deux types d'appareils permettant de se déplacer sur des terrains variés enneigés, à savoir les skis et les raquettes.There are essentially two types of devices allowing to move on various snow-covered terrains, namely skis and snowshoes.

Les premiers présentent l'inconvénient d'être lourds et encombrants, de nécessiter des peaux de phoques en période de montée ainsi que des fixations adaptées pour permettre la montée et la descente et réclament certaines qualités sportives et une bonne habitude de la part de l'utilisateur.The former have the disadvantage of being heavy and bulky, of requiring seal skins during the ascent period as well as suitable fasteners to allow the ascent and descent and require certain sporting qualities and a good habit on the part of the user.

Pour leur part, les raquettes ne sont utilisables que dans la neige molle, et ne permettent pas de glisser notamment en descente.For their part, snowshoes can only be used in soft snow, and do not allow slipping, especially when going downhill.

Il a déjà été imaginé d'équiper des skis ou des raquettes de volets articulés empêchant le recul de l'appareil considéré lorsqu'un glissement vers l'arrière tend à se produire. Néanmoins, un tel agencement ne dénature nullement les skis et raquettes de leurs caractéristiques habituelles et ne les exonèrent pas des inconvénients précités.It has already been imagined to equip skis or snowshoes with articulated flaps preventing the recoil of the device considered when a rearward sliding tends to occur. However, such an arrangement in no way distorts skis and snowshoes from their usual characteristics and does not exempt them from the aforementioned drawbacks.

La présente invention vise à remédier à ces inconvénients.The present invention aims to remedy these drawbacks.

A cet effet, le dispositif qu'elle concerne est du type comportant une partie centrale constituée par une plaque formant patin, dont l'extrémité avant est relevée en spatule, dont la face supérieure est équipée de moyens de fixation d'un pied de l'utilisateur et dont la face inférieure est équipée d'au moins un volet articulé autour d'un axe parallèle au patin, perpendiculaire à la direction de déplacement de l'appareil et situé en avant du volet dans le sens de déplacement.To this end, the device which it relates to is of the type comprising a central part constituted by a plate forming a shoe, the front end of which is raised in a spatula, the upper face of which is equipped with means for fixing a foot of the user and whose underside is equipped with at least one flap hinged about an axis parallel to the shoe, perpendicular to the direction of movement of the device and located in front of the flap in the direction of movement.

Selon l'invention, le patin est limité le long de ses deux bords longitudinaux par deux parties de section transversale en forme générale de U ou de V, s'étendant au-dessus du plan du patin et dont la concavité est tournée vers le bas, le bord extérieur de chaque partie en U ou en V étant situé au-dessus du plan de la plaque.According to the invention, the shoe is limited along its two longitudinal edges by two cross-section parts in the general shape of a U or V, extending above the plane of the skate and the concavity of which faces downwards, the outer edge of each U-shaped or V-shaped part being located above the plane of the plate.

Cet appareil est intéressant du fait qu'il est de longueur faible par rapport à la longueur des skis traditionnels (de 60 cm à 1 m selon la taille et le poids de l'utilisateur). En outre, il peut être réalisé en matière synthétique et posséder de ce fait un poids très réduit.This device is interesting because it is short compared to the length of traditional skis (from 60 cm to 1 m depending on the size and weight of the user). In addition, it can be made of synthetic material and therefore have a very reduced weight.

Il suffit à une personne désirant se déplacer dans la neige de fixer un appareil à chacun de ses pieds, les deux appareils utilisés étant identiques.It suffices for a person wishing to move in the snow to fix a device to each of their feet, the two devices used being identical.

Sur une neige dure, l'appui sur la neige se fait uniquement au niveau de la partie centrale formant patin, les volets étant escamotés lorsque l'appareil avance et faisant saillie dès que celui-ci a tendance à reculer pour éviter ce phénomène.On hard snow, the support on the snow is made only at the level of the central part forming skid, the flaps being retracted when the device advances and projecting as soon as this one tends to move back to avoid this phenomenon.

Dans une neige plus molle, telle qu'une neige poudreuse ou profonde, l'appareil s'enfonce plus que sur neige dure, de telle sorte que l'appui se fait non seulement au niveau du patin, mais également au niveau des parties latérales. L'augmentation de surface portante ainsi réalisée évite un enfoncement excessif dans la neige.In softer snow, such as powdery or deep snow, the device sinks more than on hard snow, so that the support is not only at the level of the skate, but also at the level of the lateral parts . The increase in the bearing surface thus produced prevents excessive sinking in the snow.

En outre, les deux parties latérales forment des couloirs longitudinaux améliorant la stabilité directionnelle de l'appareil lors de l'avance de celui-ci en neige molle.In addition, the two side parts form longitudinal corridors improving the directional stability of the device during the advance of the latter in soft snow.

L'invention sera bien comprise à l'aide de la description qui suit en référence au dessin schématique annexé représentant, à titre d'exemple non limitatif, une forme d'exécution de cet appareil :

  • Figure 1 en est une vue en perspective, certaines parties étant arrachées;
  • Figure 2 en est une vue de côté;
  • Figure 3 en est une vue en coupe transversale selon la ligne 3-3 de figure 2 ;
  • Figure 4 est une vue en perspective d'un volet associé au patin d'un appareil.
The invention will be clearly understood with the aid of the description which follows with reference to the appended schematic drawing representing, by way of nonlimiting example, an embodiment of this device:
  • Figure 1 is a perspective view, some parts being cut away;
  • Figure 2 is a side view;
  • Figure 3 is a cross-sectional view along line 3-3 of Figure 2;
  • Figure 4 is a perspective view of an associated flap on the skid of a device.

L'appareil représenté au dessin comprend une partie centrale constituée par une plaque formant un patin 2, de largeur légèrement supérieure à celle d'un ski traditionnel, terminé à son extrémité avant par une spatule 3 arrondie, sensiblement plus haute que celle d'un ski. La longueur du patin est de l'ordre de 60 cm à 1 m.The apparatus represented in the drawing comprises a central part constituted by a plate forming a shoe 2, of width slightly greater than that of a traditional ski, terminated at its front end by a rounded tip 3, substantially higher than that of a ski. The length of the skate is of the order of 60 cm to 1 m.

Le patin est prolongé le long de ses deux bords longitudinaux par deux parties 4, de section transversale en forme générale de V, s'étendant au-dessus du plan du patin, dont la concavité est tournée vers le.bas et.dont le bord extérieur 5 est situé au-dessus du plan du patin.The skate is extended along its two longitudinal edges by two parts 4, of generally V-shaped cross section, extending above the plane of the skate, the concavity of which faces downwards and the edge of which. outside 5 is located above the skate plane.

Selon la longueur de l'appareil, la largeur de celui-ci est comprise entre 20 et 40 cm environ.Depending on the length of the device, the width of it is between 20 and 40 cm approximately.

Comme montré notamment aux figures 1 et 2, il n'existe pas de solution de continuité entre la spatule 3 et les parties latérales 4, de telle sorte que l'appareil possède un excellent carènage.As shown in particular in Figures 1 and 2, there is no solution of continuity between the spatula 3 and the side parts 4, so that the device has an excellent fairing.

Ce carénage assure un bon passage dans la neige, notamment lorsque celle-ci est poudreuse.This fairing ensures a good passage in the snow, especially when it is powdery.

Le patin comporte deux évidements 6 ménagés dans sa face inférieure, prolongés latéralement dans les parois latérales limitant le patin et dont chacun est destiné au montage d'un volet 7. Comme montré plus précisément à la figure 4, chaque volet 7 comprend une plaquette 8 limitée à ses deux extrémités par deux ailes 9, qui en sont perpendiculaires, dont chacune sert, à proximité d'une de ses extrémités, au montage en 10 d'un axe d'articulation traversant l'une des deux parois latérales 12 situées de part et d'autre du patin.The shoe has two recesses 6 formed in its underside, extended laterally in the side walls limiting the shoe and each of which is intended for mounting a flap 7. As shown more precisely in FIG. 4, each flap 7 comprises a plate 8 limited at its two ends by two wings 9, which are perpendicular thereto, each of which is used, near one of its ends, for mounting at 10 of a hinge pin passing through one of the two side walls 12 located at on either side of the skate.

L'axe d'articulation 10 est situé au-dessus du plan du patin et en avant de la plaquette, assurant un débattement important de 0 à 900 environ pour chaque volet et son rappel en position escamotée quand l'appareil glisse sur la neige.The axis of articulation 10 is located above the plane of the pad and in front of the plate, ensuring a large clearance of 0 to 90 0 approximately for each flap and its return to the retracted position when the device slides on snow. .

Dans la forme d'exécution représentée au dessin, l'articulation est réalisée à l'aide d'axes 13 indépendants. Néanmoins, ceux-ci pourraient être solidaires soit de la paroi 12, soit des ailes 9 des volets 7.In the embodiment shown in the drawing, the articulation is carried out using independent axes 13. However, these could be secured either to the wall 12 or to the wings 9 of the flaps 7.

Chaque volet 7 comprend, en outre, deux décrochements tridimensionnels 14 débouchant dans son bord postérieur, ces décrochements faisant saillie sous le plan du patin et permettant l'amorce du basculement du volet.Each flap 7 further comprises two three-dimensional recesses 14 opening into its rear edge, these recesses projecting beneath the plane of the shoe and allowing the tilting of the flap to begin.

Le patin peut être équipé de moyens de blocage des volets en position dégagée du patin, par exemple dans la position représentée en traits mixtes à la figure 2, à l'aide d'épingles en U venant s'engager dans des orifices que comportent les faces latérales limitant le patin.The skate can be equipped with means for locking the flaps in the disengaged position of the skate, for example in the position shown in phantom in Figure 2, using U-shaped pins coming to engage in holes that the lateral faces limiting the skate.

Cet agencement est intéressant car permettant, sur neige gelée, d'utiliser les appareils comme des crampons à glace, l'appui sur le sol ne se faisant qu'au niveau des extrémités des décrochements des volets qui forment des griffes.This arrangement is interesting because it allows, on frozen snow, to use the devices like ice spikes, the support on the ground being done only at the ends of the recesses of the flaps which form claws.

Comme montré aux figures 1 et 3, les parois 12 situées de part et d'autre du patin sont plus proches l'une de l'autre dans la zone 15 servant à la fixation du pied de l'utilisateur, que sur le reste de leur longueur. Cette fixation est réalisée à l'aide de sangles 16, la face supérieure du patin servant d'appui présentant à ce niveau des éléments anti-dérapants.As shown in Figures 1 and 3, the walls 12 located on either side of the pad are closer to each other in the area 15 for fixing the user's foot, than on the rest of their length. This fixing is carried out using straps 16, the upper face of the pad serving as support having at this level non-slip elements.

Le fait que les parois 12 soient rapprochées l'une de l'autre au niveau du pied de l'utilisateur, assure une bonne tenue latérale de celui-ci, ce qui est intéressant lorsque l'utilisateur porte des chaussures ou bottes souples.The fact that the walls 12 are brought closer to each other at the foot of the user, ensures good lateral holding of the latter, which is advantageous when the user is wearing flexible shoes or boots.

Cet agencement permet, en outre, d'augmenter à ce niveau la largeur des deux-parties latérales 4 de section en V, permettant, dans chacune de celles-ci, le logement d'un volet 17 articulé autour d'un axe 18 horizontal et transversal à la direction d'avance de l'appareil, avec possibilité de pivotement sur environ 90° vers l'arrière depuis sa position verticale.This arrangement allows, in addition, to increase at this level the width of the two lateral parts 4 of V-section, allowing, in each of these, the housing of a flap 17 articulated around a horizontal axis 18 and transverse to the direction of advance of the device, with the possibility of pivoting about 90 ° backwards from its vertical position.

L'appareil représenté au dessin peut, avantageusement, être réalisé en matière synthétique et est donc d'un poids réduit, de l'ordre de 900 à 1 200 grames pour un appareil d'une longueur de l'ordre de 90 cm.The device shown in the drawing can advantageously be made of synthetic material and is therefore of a weight reduced, of the order of 900 to 1,200 grames for a device with a length of the order of 90 cm.

Afin d'augmenter la solidité de l'appareil ainsi que les possibilités de guidage de celui-ci, les arêtes inférieures 19 sont renforcées soit par une surépaisseur de matière synthétique dure, soit par des carres métàlli- ques.In order to increase the solidity of the apparatus as well as the possibilities of guiding it, the lower edges 19 are reinforced either by an excess thickness of hard synthetic material, or by metal edges.

Cet appareil concilie à la. fois les avantages des raquettes par sa légèreté et son faible encombrement, et des skis par la possibilité qu'il procure de glisser tant à la montée qu'à la descente. L'évolution est facilitée par l'utilisation de cannes de ski.This device reconciles the. times the advantages of snowshoes by its lightness and small footprint, and skis by the possibility that it provides to slide both up and down. The evolution is facilitated by the use of ski poles.

D'un point de vue pratique, l'utilisateur fixe un appareil à chacun de ses pieds et se déplace sur un terrain plat ou en montée en faisant glisser alternativement l'un et l'autre appareil. Sur neige dure, seul le patin 2 est en appui sur la neige et les volets 7 évitent le recul de l'appareil, tandis qu'en neige molle, l'appareil prend appui sur la neige, sur la totalité de sa largeur, les volets 17 évitant également le recul de l'appareil.From a practical point of view, the user fixes a device to each of his feet and moves on flat or uphill terrain by alternately sliding one and the other device. On hard snow, only the shoe 2 is supported on the snow and the flaps 7 prevent the device from receding, while in soft snow, the device is supported on the snow, over its entire width, the flaps 17 also preventing the device from receding.

Comme il va de soi, l'invention ne se limite pas à la seule forme d'exécution de cet appareil, décrite ci-dessus à titre d'exemple ; elle en embrasse, au contraire, toutes les variantes de réalisation ; c'est ainsi notamment que le nombre des volets 17 logés dans les parties latérales pourrait être supérieur à un volet de chaque côté.It goes without saying that the invention is not limited to the sole embodiment of this device, described above by way of example; on the contrary, it embraces all of its variant embodiments; in particular, the number of flaps 17 housed in the lateral parts could be greater than one flap on each side.
