Abstract (en)

The clamp return member comprises a coil spring (10) with a resilient plastic material (11) between the coils to increase the force of the spring with the speed of its compression. The plastic material between the spring coils can preferably be a silicone rubber, EPDM or PDMS, and it can be filled with a mineral or organic material such as pyrogenic or colloidal silica, or talc. The plastic can preferably be in the shape of a coil between the spring or a cylinder with the spring embedded in it.

Abstract (fr)

Dispositif élastique de rappel pour fixation de sécurité de ski, comprenant un ressort hélicoïdal (10) et présentant une raideur variable en fonction de la vitesse de sollicitation. Un matériau plastique fluant (11) est intercalé entre les spires du ressort, de telle sorte que la raideur du ressort augmente avec la vitesse de sa compression. Cet élément élastique permet d'éviter un déclenchement intempestif de la fixation. <IMAGE>
