摘要:
An element for retaining a boot on a ski provided to releasably retain one of the ends of a boot by means of a jaw movable laterally on either side of a centered position aligned with a longitudinal and vertical median plane of the retaining element, and a compensating mechanism acting on the jaw or its return mechanism so as to further facilitate its opening, where the compensating mechanism includes two active elements, either of which are biased as a function of the side where the jaw moves with respect to the vertical and longitudinal median plane. The two active elements are asymmetrical with respect to the longitudinal and vertical median plane, such that the compensating mechanism is more or less active depending on the active element biased as a function of the side on which the jaw moves.

A ski binding comprises a slide (2) fixed on the ski and a sliding base (4). The binding is equipped with a ski brake which can be demounted and remounted. The brake has rigid retention means in the form of two hooks (23, 24). The two hooks engage, by virtue of a longitudinal (L) then transverse (T) engagement movement, two projections (33, 34) located on a reinforcement frame (31) fastened to the base (4).
摘要:
Snow skis having asymmetrical edges to make turning easier while telemark or alpine skiing. Each ski has concave, curved lateral edges. These lateral edges are asymmetrical, in that the medial edge of each ski is substantially longer than its outer edge. In addition, the point of maximum side cut on the outer edge is adjacent to the toe area of the skiers boot, while the point of maximum side cut on the medial edge is adjacent to the middle of the ski boot to facilitate easier turns while telemark skiing.
摘要:
A board for gliding for downhill skiing, of “shell” type construction having, at lest in an underfoot zone a lower gliding surface composed of a sole plate bordered by metal edges and a topsheet substantially parallel to the lower gliding surface, on either side of the center longitudinal plane of the board. The underfoot zone further includes lateral faces extending between the metal edges and the topsheet, the lateral faces having recesses located below the plane of the topsheet and opening out in the latter. The base of the recess forms a slope that is inclined longitudinally relative to the lower gliding surface and the topsheet.
摘要:
A binding to retain a boot on a gliding or rolling apparatus, such as a snowboard, ski, or roller skate. The binding includes a linkage that connects first and second flanges. The linkage includes a first band attached to the first flange, and a tightening device attached to the second flange. An abutment of the binding is fixed to the first band toward a free end of the band, so as to be located on the other side of the tightening device with respect to a fastening end of the band, thus preventing a separation of the first band and of the tightening device.
摘要:
A snowboard (110) includes a body (22) formed from a primary core (130) reinforced by a structural layer (132, 134) that wraps the primary core. A secondary core formed from first and second binding lifter plates (120) is disposed above the body and adhered thereto with an elastomeric layer (142). A top layer (136) overlies the secondary core and the exposed portions of the body to integrate the secondary core into the snowboard. The snowboard further includes a bottom layer (138) reinforced with edge strips (140). The integrated modular lifter plates provides additional leverage and vibration dampening at selected regions of the snowboard without significantly impacting the torsional and longitudinal flexibility of the center section (112) of the snowboard.

A boot support includes a disc solidly secured on a ski board, and a boot supporting bracket rotatably secured to the disc. A pawl is slidably received in the disc and movable to engage with the bracket, or is slidably received in the bracket and movable to engage with the disc, for releasably securing the bracket to the ski board. The bracket may be adjusted relative to the disc and the ski board to various angular position by the pawl without disengaging the bracket from the disc and the ski board.
摘要:
A method and apparatus is disclosed that allows a user to individually or simultaneously customize the pitch, roll, height, yaw, linear placement and lateral placement of his/her boots on his/her skis. This system allows the user to stand in a position while skiing that is closer to his/her natural position and to have the parameters of such a stance measured and quantified, thereby improving comfort, performance, and safety. As opposed to the limited variation in only some parameters described by current art, this invention allows significant variation in all individual parameters and simultaneous customization of all parameters. This simultaneity is important because of its increased ease to the skier and because altering any one parameter can change the center of pressure, thus creating the need for additional changes until the perfect combination of adjustments is made. In particular, the system allows for the alteration of the yaw of the ski boot alone or in combination with any or all of the other parameters.
摘要:
A gliding board having a center core, a gliding sole, at least one lower reinforcing layer, and at least one upper reinforcing layer, the layers being positioned on both sides of the board. At least the upper reinforcing layer is formed of two strips that are different in nature each of which respectively extends, into the extension of the other from the central zone of the ski to each of its ends, the strips being different by the nature of the reinforcing material used or, in the case of two strips of resin reinforced with fibers, by the orientation of the fibers, or the basic weight of the fibers. In the case of a ski, the strips that are different in nature are superimposed in the central zone of the board and reinforce the zone of the ski where the mounting of retaining elements is provided.
摘要:
A ski or other board for gliding over snow has two lateral, longitudinal edges constituted by rigid, distinct elements called “sidewalls”, which comprise a multitude of discrete metallic inclusions incorporated therein and distributed in their structure, made of corrosion-proof metal of shiny appearance. Such sidewalls are made of thermosettable or thermoplastic polymer materials.
