20090096277 | CYCLE RIM USING A SLEEVE CONNECTION AND A METHOD OF MANUFACTURING SUCH RIM - The invention is directed to a rim such as a rim for a cycle. The rim includes a circularly extending hollow box-shaped element, in the form of a radial profile of revolution about a transverse axis, with two end surfaces of such element being joined end-to-end at a junction and affixed via a sleeve that is positioned within the hollow box-shaped element, on each side of the junction. The sleeve includes a pair of bearing portions, which exert an internal force inside and against the walls of the hollow box-shaped element, such force being generated by a relative spacing apart of the bearing portions via a spreading device, such as at least one spacing member. The spacing member can be a wedging member or a screw, configured and arranged in association with the bearing portions so as to direct the bearing forces along an essentially transverse direction toward the side walls of the rim. The invention is also directed to a wheel having such a rim, as well as to a method of manufacturing such rim and wheel. | 04-16-2009 |
20090051142 | GLIDING BOARD WITH LATERAL RUNNING EDGES - The invention relates to a gliding board including a structural beam defining a longitudinal direction and having a gliding surface bordered on each side with a lateral running edge, each running edge having an edge body and an anchoring blade, the anchoring blades of the two running edges being oriented opposite one another. An inextensible connecting element locally connects the anchoring blades, at least along a portion at least of the length of the beam, and the connecting element is oriented in the extension of each of the blades. | 02-26-2009 |
20090033064 | DEVICE FOR BINDING A BOOT TO A GLIDING BOARD - A device for binding a boot to a gilding board including a front retaining element, a rear retaining element, an element for connecting the front retaining element to the rear retaining element, and a return spring exerting a force urging the front retaining element toward the rear retaining element, the connecting element and the return element being aligned, and the connecting element including an articulation with respect to the front retaining element and/or the rear retaining element. | 02-05-2009 |
20080315675 | WHEEL WITH DETACHABLE SPOKE MADE OF COMPOSITE MATERIAL - The invention relates to a wheel including a rim, a hub, at least one spoke connecting the rim to the hub, the spoke being made of composite material. Each spoke of the wheel includes a device enabling a reversible connection with the hub of the wheel, the connection device being at least partially incorporated within the spoke by co-molding therewith. | 12-25-2008 |
20080309152 | WHEEL INCLUDING A RIM, A HUB, AND A DEVICE FOR COUPLING THE RIM TO THE HUB - A wheel including a rim, a hub, and at least one device for coupling the rim to the hub, the coupling device including a spoke associated with a first head, the hub defining a first groove for receiving a portion of the spoke in a plane perpendicular to the axis of the wheel, and, along a tangential direction with respect to the hub, the hub further defines an abutment along the tangential direction for supporting the head. The hub includes an arrangement for retaining the head along a radial direction, when the spoke is oriented tangentially with respect to the hub. | 12-18-2008 |
20080305330 | GLIDING OR ROLLING BOARD - A gliding or rolling board having a length measured along a longitudinal direction between a first end and a second end, a width measured along a transverse direction between a first edge and a second edge, as well as a height measured between a bottom and a top, the board including a core that extends along a substantial surface. The board includes a lower reinforcement located beneath the core and an upper reinforcement located above the core, the lower reinforcement including a first layer of natural fibers, the upper reinforcement including a first layer of natural fibers. | 12-11-2008 |
20080286543 | Layered Sandwich Structure - The invention provides for a sandwich-type layered structure including at least one first core layer made of cellular material, a first reinforcing layer connected to a first surface of the first core layer, and a second reinforcing layer on the side connected to the second surface of the core layer, the layered structure including, between the first core layer and the first reinforcing layer, at least one compressed foam layer connected to these two layers. | 11-20-2008 |
20080280096 | Gliding Board Having a Reinforced Sandwich Structure - The invention proposes a gliding board including a sandwich-type layered structure comprising at least one first core layer ( | 11-13-2008 |
20080263901 | BUCKLE FOR FASTENING A SPORTS BOOT AND A SPORTS BOOT HAVING SUCH BUCKLE - The invention relates to a buckle for fastening a sports boot and to a sports boot including such buckle. The buckle includes a baseplate, a lever connected to the baseplate by a first transverse articulation about an articulation axis, the lever having a gripping portion, a connecting rod articulated to the lever by a second transverse articulation about a second articulation axis, a loop mounted at the other end of the connection rod. The lever has a lever body that has a guiding tube for each of the articulation axes. The body is formed by a sheet of material, and the sheet is folded along folding lines that are parallel to each of the articulation axes to form the tubes for guiding the articulation axles. | 10-30-2008 |
20080197607 | RETAINING ASSEMBLY FOR A GLIDING BOARD - An assembly for retaining a boot on a gliding board, which includes a non-releasable front retaining element and a non-releasable rear retaining element, as well as a mechanism for measuring the forces to which the boot is subjected when it is fixed on the retaining assembly. At least one of the front and rear retaining elements is fixed on a plate actuated with a translational movement, the translational movement being controlled as a function of the values provided by the measuring mechanism. The retaining assembly also includes a release device that includes the measuring mechanism as well as a mechanism for actuating the plate in its translational movement. The measuring mechanism include a front sensor and a rear sensor. The non-releasable front retaining element includes a sole clamp, and the non-releasable rear retaining element includes a step-in heel piece to ensure automatic fitting of the boot. | 08-21-2008 |
20080196136 | Laminated Fabric Panels and Method of Assembling Same - Laminated fabric panels and a method of assembling such panels. A garment, for example, is made of first and second parts assembled to one another by superimposing the first part and the second part so that their inner surfaces face one another; welding the two parts along a weld line; flattening the two parts, the weld line being arranged on the outer side; applying a reinforcement strip to the welding line on the outer side of the garment. | 08-21-2008 |
