Description

SNOWBOARD STORAGE DEVICE ON SNOW. PHONE

OR A SKI OR THE LIKE.

  The present invention relates to a device for storing and storing snow boards, such as skis

  or equivalent like surfs, monoskis, etc ...

  Devices are already known for retaining skis vertically in the storage position. These devices are found in individuals, but especially in rental stores that are found in resorts or in the city. With these devices, the skis are held vertically between two retaining arms, as for example disclosed in the

  European patent application n 92 500 132 published under n 538 171.

  But, the ski domain has evolved terribly and the type of boards has multiplied. Thus, the skier can choose between alpine skiing, cross-country skiing and surfing, and he finds at his disposal different types of skis, such as traditional skis, so-called parabolic skis, skwals, miniskis, all types, as well as monoskis. Rental companies no longer have at their disposal suitable storage devices allowing the

  storage of skis of all sizes and dimensions.

  The present invention provides a storage and storage device for storing all types of skis or the like such as alpine skis, snowboards, monoskis, parabolic skis, miniskis, etc., thanks to

very simple means.

  Thus, the device for storing boards for gliding on snow is of the type according to which the board or boards for gliding are stored vertically and retained by retaining jaws, and is characterized in that each of the retaining jaws consists of two independent, movable and adjustable half jaws relative to each other by lateral displacement of one or the other, see both

half jaws.

  According to an additional characteristic, each of the half jaws is constituted by a piece of sheet steel in the shape of, L, namely a support wall extended at right angles by a wall

lateral restraint.

  According to another characteristic, the lateral retaining wall of the half jaw carries a profiled retaining part. whose profile is such that the thickness is variable and decreases as one approaches the bottom of the jaw, to form a retaining ramp, while there is provided an end ramp allowing

the introduction of skis.

  In the preferred embodiment, the retaining jaws are fixed on an upper horizontal beam, which comprises at least one lumen. , while at least one of the half jaws is fixed on the

  transverse beam, thanks to a fixing bolt or the like.

  According to an alternative embodiment, the two half jaws are

  connected by a tension spring.

  Add that at least one of two half jaws is elastically deformable, and that according to additional characteristics, the device comprises a recovery gutter

  of water and a mobile cart with wheels.

  Other characteristics and advantages of the invention will emerge

  of the description which will follow with regard to the appended drawings which are not

  given only by way of nonlimiting examples.

  Figure 11 and a top view illustrating a mobile assembly of the device. The device or the invention bearing the general reference (1) is illustrated in an embodiment given by way of example in FIGS. 1 to 7. It is constituted by a main structure (2) made for example of wood, comprising two walls of 'vertical ends (3, 4) between which are disposed a base (5), a central transverse body (6) and at least one upper horizontal beam (7), but in this case, two upper horizontal beams. In the performance given as

  for example, the device (1) comprises an upper board (9).

  Each of the horizontal beams (7, 8) comprises at least one longitudinal lumen (10), for carrying a set and a succession of retaining jaws (11, lia, 11b, 11c, 11d, ...) and forming a slide

  for moving the jaws.

  According to a characteristic of the invention, each of the retaining jaws (11, 11a, 11b, 11c, 11d, ..), consists of two independent, movable and adjustable half jaws (12a, 12b) relatively to one another. other by lateral displacement of one or the other, see

  two half jaws (12a and / or 12b).

  Each of the half jaws (12a, 12b) is constituted by a sheet steel part (13) in the shape of an L., namely a support wall (14) extended at right angles by a lateral retaining wall

  (15), which advantageously carries a profiled retaining part (16).

  Note that each half jaw (12a, 12b) is movably fixed on the transverse part, thanks to a fixing bolt (17) constituted by a screw (17a) and a nut (17b) advantageously of the butterfly type. Advantageously use a screw of the type having a rotation lock, such as having a square under the head. Furthermore, the support wall (14) of each of the half jaws (12a, 12b) comprises a horizontal lumen (18), as well as a hole (19). The profiled part (16) is for example made of wood or plastic, and is fixed to the lateral retaining wall (15), for example by one or more screws (20) or by any other means, such as clipping, gluing or overmolding. Its profile is such that its thickness is variable and decreases as one approaches the bottom of the jaw to form a retaining ramp (21), while an end ramp is provided, allowing the introduction of skis (23). We have previously seen that each of the half jaws is made of elastic material, such as a sheet of steel. Also in the retaining position, as illustrated in FIGS. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, the lateral retaining wall (15) can be pivoted by elastic deformation, according to F1, as more particularly illustrated in the figure. , which makes it possible to open the retaining jaws and facilitate the introduction (I) of the skis (23). the reverse elasticity (F2) of these same walls, as well as the retaining ramp (21) ensure a frank hold and

sure of the corresponding skis (23).

  It will be understood that, thanks to the independence of the two half jaws (12a, 12b), it is possible to arrange them on the horizontal beam (7), that is to say in the relative desired position, that is to say say at a distance (D) between the two lateral retaining walls (15), corresponding to the width (L) of the skis (23) to be retained. Thus, the user of the device will adjust the width (D) of the different retaining jaws, as a function of the width of the skis to be retained. Thus, all types of skis, such as traditional skis (23a), parabolic skis (23b), surfboards or monoskis of all kinds (23c), can be retained by adjusting the jaws. The skis are retained in a vertical position and their heel (24) is supported on an inclined surface (25a) leading to a drainage gutter (26), which advantageously comprises a drainage hole (27). According to the preferred embodiment of the invention, the device comprises a vertical plane (P) of general symmetry and the base (5) then comprises two inclined surfaces (25a, 25b) converging towards the flow gutter (26), arranged in the plane (P). Furthermore, the device advantageously comprises two parallel upper horizontal beams (7) in order to be able to store back to back, two rows of skis or the like, such

  as illustrated more particularly in FIG. 3.

  In addition, each jaw advantageously comprises two retaining bolts, which the user will only have to loosen to adjust, on the one hand, the overall position of the jaw on the beam and on the other hand

  hand, the relative position of one half jaw relative to the other.

  Figures 8a and 8b are views illustrating an alternative embodiment of the jaws, according to which one of the half jaws (12a) is fixed to the retaining beam (7, 8), while the other half jaw (12b ) can slide laterally against the action of a tension spring (30). Thus, with this embodiment, the skis are retained by

elastic pinching.

  Let us add that it is also possible to arrange the storage device according to the invention, on a rolling cart (31) which can be moved on two parallel rails (32, 33), as illustrated in FIGS. 9 and 10. The carriage consists of a frame produced with a metal profile carrying four rollers (35). The rolling support device (31) comprises means preventing the derailment of the carriage. These means being produced by the cooperation of the trolley with the corresponding rail or rails (32, 33), as illustrated in FIG. 9. Thanks to the rolling trolley (31), the merchant can easily move his device even when weighed down by the stored skis, which allows it to store a whole set of devices by storing them one against the other, as illustrated in Figure 11, while allowing it to move one or

  the other to access the chosen skis.

  Note that the structure (2) can be of any type of material and that the device may not understand this structure. Indeed, the

  beam (7) could be directly fixed against a wall.

  Of course, the invention is not limited to the embodiments described and shown by way of examples, but it includes

  also all technical equivalents and their combinations.
