Abstract: A device (1) for mounting the components of a safety binding on a ski, comprising: a longitudinal strip (2) that has, on either side, a guide (10) with a break in its middle; two units (5, 6) each intended to accommodate one of the components of the safety binding, each unit being mounted on said strip (2) with the possibility of adjusting its longitudinal position by sliding in said guides (10); a plurality of points (20-23) for mounting the longitudinal strip (2) on the upper surface of the ski, some of these points (20, 23) allowing longitudinal displacement, relative to the upper surface of the ski, of the area of the longitudinal strip in which they are located; a base (4, 7) intended to come into contact with the upper surface of the ski and on which said longitudinal strip (2) rests, said base extending over a width in excess of that of said longitudinal strip.

Abstract: A board (1) for sliding on snow such as a ski, a monoski or a snowboard, with vertical plane of general symmetry (P), comprising a principal part, known as body or base (2), having the shape of an elongated beam having its own thickness distribution, contour, width and stiffness, and can be of any type of structure, and which includes a central zone known as of the waist (7) extended towards the front by a front part (8) raised at its end to form a tip (6), and towards the rear by a rear part (9) terminating in a tail (6?), including at least two supplemental elements (10) extending towards the front at least on the front part, to extend the zone of the waist, said supplemental elements including two longitudinal side arms (10a, 10b) disposed laterally relative to the plane “P”, said longitudinal side arms constituting at least a dynamic means for recall of the base, characterized in that the side arms are connected by a transverse connector (11) including a part independent of the side arms.

Abstract: Alpine ski (1) having a sidecut (9) which has a radius smaller than 24 meters, wherein the front (10) and/or rear (18) ends have a cavity (11, 15) opening longitudinally at said end, the dimensions of the cavity (11, 15) allowing the deformation of said end when a transverse force is exerted at the front and/or rear contact lines so as to permit the inner and outer edges of the ski to move closer to one another.

Abstract: A raising platform (6) is intended for mounting on the upper surface (3) of a board (1) for gliding over snow in order to receive and to raise the bindings securing a user's boot to a board (1) for gliding over snow. The raising platform (6) is divided into two longitudinal parts (9, 10) that are each placed directly on the upper surface (3) of the board (1) for gliding over snow and that are connected together by at least one bridge (11).

Abstract: An alpine sports pole comprising a tube (6), a handle (4) at the upper end (8) of the tube (6), and a tip (7) at the lower end (9) of the tube (6), the handle (4) having a first gripping zone (12), more particularly for positioning the phalanges of a skier's hand, and a second gripping zone (13), more particularly for positioning the palm of the skier's hand, the first gripping zone (12) defining the front (F) of the pole (1) and the second gripping zone (13) defining the rear (R) of the pole (1), the tube (6) having a substantially circular profiled section over an upper portion (17) located below the upper end (8) of the tube (6) and over a lower portion (18) located above the lower end (9) of the tube (6), and also a profiled section that changes progressively over a central portion (19) located between the upper portion (17) and the lower portion (18).

Abstract: A gliding board has a raised platform which is intended to accommodate the toe piece and the heel piece of a safety binding on its upper part and which rests on the board via its central part. The platform has its front and rear ends overhanging relative to the upper surface of the board and not resting on the board. The platform has a torsional stiffness such that the maximum angular deformation of a free end under the effect of a twisting moment of four newton-meters exerted at four hundred and sixty millimeters from an engagement zone is less than one and a half degrees.

Abstract: A board for gliding over snow is provided which is structured such that it has a central support region having a cross-section selected from the group consisting of the sandwich cross-section, the shell cross-section, and the hybrid cross section; a front region located between and connecting the central region and a tip; and a rear region located between and connecting the central region and a tail portion. The front region, central support region, and rear region each may have either a sandwich cross-section, a shell cross-section, and a hybrid cross section. The sandwich cross-section can have a first upper layer, a first upper reinforcement layer, a first core, a plurality of longitudinal reinforcing elements, a first lower reinforcement, a first sole, and a plurality of first edges.
