ALPINE SKI WITH IMPROVED SIDECUT - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240024758 titled 'ALPINE SKI WITH IMPROVED SIDECUT
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes an alpine ski that has a tip zone, waist zone, and tail zone. It also has a median longitudinal plane, an underside with a gliding sole and edges, and a zone for mounting a boot. The ski has a sidecut with various lines and a zone of minimum width located in the waist zone. The width of the ski at the front contact line is smaller than the width at the rear contact line, and the zone of minimum width is located forward of the mid-shoe line.
- The alpine ski has a unique design with specific dimensions and features.
- It includes a tip zone, waist zone, and tail zone, along with a median longitudinal plane.
- The ski has an underside with a gliding sole and edges, and a zone for mounting a boot.
- The sidecut of the ski has various lines, including front and rear contact lines, a line of greater front width, a line of greater rear width, and a zone of minimum width.
- The width of the ski at the front contact line is smaller than the width at the rear contact line.
- The zone of minimum width is located forward of the mid-shoe line.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Alpine skiing equipment manufacturing industry
- Ski resorts and rental shops
- Skiing enthusiasts and athletes
Problems solved by this technology:
- Improved maneuverability and control on slopes
- Enhanced performance and stability during turns
- Better adaptation to different snow conditions
Benefits of this technology:
- Increased speed and efficiency while skiing
- Reduced risk of accidents and injuries
- Enhanced skiing experience for users of different skill levels
Original Abstract Submitted
alpine ski comprising a tip zone located at the front of the ski, a waist zone, and a tail zone located at the rear of the ski, a median longitudinal plane extending from the front end to the rear end of the ski, an underside formed by a gliding sole bordered by edges, a zone for mounting a boot, the middle of which, in the longitudinal direction, is located at a mid-shoe line (m), and having a sidecut with: a front contact line (pa) defined as the line of contact between the gliding sole and a horizontal surface against which the sole is pressed when the waist is loaded, which is located furthest forward; a rear contact line (pb) defined as the line of contact between the gliding sole and said horizontal surface, which is located furthest back; a line of greater front width (pi) located at or further forward than the front contact line (pa); a line of greater rear width (pii), located at or more rear than the rear contact line (pb); a zone of minimum width (piii) located in the waist zone, said sidecut having a variable radius of curvature between the front contact line (pa) and the rear contact line (pb), characterized in that the width of the ski, measured perpendicular to the median longitudinal plane, at the front contact line (p) is strictly less than the width of the ski measured at the rear contact line (p) and in that the zone of minimum width (p) is further forward than the mid-shoe line (mc).
