Claims
- 1. A device for damping vibration of a ski comprising, in combination, a tip portion of the ski formed separately from the remaining part of the ski, hinge means including an elastic joint of elastomeric bonding material for connecting said tip portion to the remaining part of the ski to permit independent, resilient movement of said tip portion at substantially a right angle to the tread of the ski, said tip portion comprising a mass having a resonant frequency of between 1Hz and 40Hz so as to form a vibratory system for exerting forces on the ski.
- 2. A device in accordance with claim 1 wherein said hinge means include a hinge connected at opposite ends to said tip portion and the remaining part of the ski respectively, said hinge including a hinge pin disposed intermediate the opposite ends of said hinge in spaced relationship with said joint and extending parallel to the tread of the ski and transversely to the longitudinal direction of the ski.
