Abstract
The invention relates to a mechanical device for modifying the radial geometry of a ski, proportionally to its flexion, which includes elements, referred to as transmission elements, which, each interposed between the rod and the ski wherein each transform a relative displacement of the rod, oriented along its longitudinal axis and directed towards one of the ends of the ski (direction S1), into a second displacement oriented along a direction intersecting the longitudinal axis and directed towards the outside of the ski and wherein each apply this displacement at a selected place of the ski so as to bring about, during the relative displacement of the rod, a thrust generating the deformation of this ski along its cross-section, transverse deformation translated, in particular, through a spacing apart in the upper part of the ski and through the desired modification of the geometry of the lower face of this ski.
