Abstract:
A ski comprises a longitudinally extending body having a central region interposed between anterior and posterior segments. The body has a lower sliding surface whose width is defined by a pair of opposed lower edges connected to two lateral side surfaces that are inclined relative to the lower sliding surface. An upper surface is connected to the laterally side surfaces and has a width defined by opposed lateral edges which converge towards the front of the ski.

The body has a lower sliding surface whose width is defined by a pair of opposed lower edges connected to two lateral side surfaces that are inclined relative to the lower sliding surface. An upper surface is connected to the laterally side surfaces and has a width defined by opposed lateral edges which diverge towards the front of the ski in the interior segment of the body, and which are substantially parallel to each other in the posterior segment.
Abstract:
A device for absorbing shocks and vibrations between a ski and a binding includes a platform having a layer of shock absorbing material. The binding is attached to the platform by screws extending into the shock absorbing material or into a plate covering the layer. The platform is glued to the upper layer of the ski so that no screws extend into the ski.
Abstract:
An interface device between a ski (1) and bindings (3, 4) designed to hold in place the ends of a ski boot on a ski. The device comprises a longilinear plate (15) which extends above the ski, in the runner area. One end of the plate (15) is connected to the ski by a linkage (17, 18, 19) which permits this end to slide freely in relation to the ski. A stop blocks this sliding motion beyond a determinate ski flexion. The other end of the plate is connected to the ski by a linkage (30, 33, 31) which can become deformed longitudinally by elastic stretching. This linkage is constituted by a glue layer (33) which exhibits both adhesive and stretching properties.
Abstract:
A ski in which one or more additional masses of inertia are added to change the characteristics of the ski. A front additional mass of inertia is located substantially at a front transverse line of contact of the bottom surface of the ski with the ground. A rear additional mass of inertia may be located substantially at a rear transverse line of contact with the ground.
