Abstract

A snow gliding board, including front and rear lines of maximum width, and having sidecuts including a central area having a curvature directed towards the outside of the board, wherein said central area extends towards the front and/or the back in an adjacent area having a curvature oriented toward the inside, which extends at least all the way to the respective front and/or rear line of maximum width.

Claims (31)

1. A snow gliding board, comprising a front line of maximum width, and having sidecuts comprising a central area having a curvature directed towards the outside of the board, wherein said central area ends at a first point located before said front line of maximum width, said board including an adjacent area which extends towards the front from said first point, said adjacent area having a curvature directed towards the inside, said adjacent area ending at a second point, said second point being located at or beyond the front line of maximum width.

2. The gliding board of claim 1 , wherein the length of the portion of the adjacent area located before the line of maximum width, measured parallel to the longitudinal axis of the board, is greater than 120 mm.

3. The gliding board of claim 1 , having a front contact line located in the central area.

4. The gliding board of claim 1 , having a front and/or rear contact line located in the adjacent area.

5. The gliding board of claim 1 , wherein the length of the adjacent area before the line of maximum width, measured parallel to the longitudinal axis of the board, is greater than 10% of the length measured between the lines of maximum width.

6. The gliding board of claim 1 , wherein the radius of curvature of the central area is smaller than the radius of curvature of the adjacent area.

7. The snowboard of claim 1 , wherein the radius of curvature of the central area ranges between 5 m and 20 m.

8. The gliding board of claim 1 , wherein the radius of curvature of the adjacent area before the line of maximum width ranges between 15 m and 30 m.

9. The gliding board of claim 1 forming an alpine ski, wherein the radius of curvature of the central area is smaller than or equal to 15 m.

10. The gliding board of claim 9 , wherein the adjacent area has a curvature directed towards the inside are located at the front of a waist of the gliding board.

11. The gliding board of claim 9 , comprising two adjacent areas having their curvature directed towards the inside, located at a front and at a back of a waist of the gliding board.

12. The gliding board of claim 9 , having a minimum width at a waist central area greater than 100 mm.

13. The gliding board of claim 9 , wherein the first point, and the point of maximum width are transversely offset by at least 5 mm.

14. The gliding board of claim 1 , forming a snowboard, wherein the radius of curvature of the central area is smaller than or equal to 8 m.

15. The gliding board of claim 1 , wherein the board width varies along said adjacent area by at least 5 mm.

16. A snow gliding board, comprising a rear lines of maximum width, and having sidecuts comprising a central area having a curvature directed towards the outside of the board, wherein said central area ends at a first point located before said rear line of maximum width, said board including an adjacent area which extends backwards the rear from said first point, said adjacent area having a curvature directed towards the inside, said adjacent area ending at a second point, said second point being located at or beyond the rear line of maximum width.

17. The gliding board of claim 16 , wherein the length of the portion of the adjacent area located before the rear line of maximum width, measured parallel to the longitudinal axis of the board, is greater than 120 mm.

18. The gliding board of claim 16 , having a rear contact line located in the central area.

19. The gliding board of claim 16 , having a rear contact line located in the adjacent area.

20. The gliding board of claim 16 , wherein the length of the adjacent area before the line of maximum width, measured parallel to the longitudinal axis of the board, is greater than 10% of the length measured between the lines of maximum width.

21. The gliding board of claim 16 , wherein the radius of curvature of the central area is smaller than the radius of curvature of the adjacent area.

22. The snowboard of claim 16 , wherein the radius of curvature of the central area ranges between 5 m and 20 m.

23. The gliding board of claim 16 , wherein the radius of curvature of the adjacent area before the line of maximum width ranges between 15 m and 30 m.

24. The gliding board of claim 16 forming an alpine ski, wherein the radius of curvature of the central area is smaller than or equal to 15 m.

25. The gliding board of claim 16 , forming a snowboard, wherein the radius of curvature of the central area is smaller than or equal to 8 m.

26. The gliding board of claim 16 , wherein the board width varies along said adjacent area by at least 5 mm.

27. The gliding board of claim 24 , wherein the adjacent area has a curvature directed towards the inside located at the rear of a waist of the gliding board.

28. The gliding board of claim 24 , comprising an adjacent area having a curvature directed towards the inside, located at the front and the back of a waist of the gliding board.

29. The gliding board of claim 24 , having a minimum width at a waist central area greater than 100 mm.

30. The gliding board of claim 24 , wherein the first point and the point of maximum width are transversely offset by at least 5 mm.

31. The gliding board of claim 24 , comprising two adjacent areas having their curvature directed towards the inside, located at the a front and at the a back of a waist of the gliding board.
