Abstract
Abstract The device comprises an element shaped to match a ski tip (1, 2) whereto it is attached by means of a screw fastening, which preferably realizes an asymmetrical counter-tip (3, 4) directed inwardly such that on placing the two skis parallel to each other a single imaginary tip is produced. Provided on that element is a vibration-dampening element including incoherent masses, set free to move within an enclosing body, which oppose by inertia of their movement the forces which generate vibration of the implement tip.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 12
Claim 1
Independent Claim
36 words
A counter-tip device for skis, characterized in that it comprises a generally flat body (3,4) having a seat formation (5,6) for inserting therein a ski tip (1,2) and vibration-dampening means (17,22, 122) on said body (3,4).
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
36 words
A counter-tip device for skis, characterized in that it comprises a generally flat body (3,4) having a seat formation (5,6) for inserting therein a ski tip (1,2) and vibration-dampening means (17,22, 122) on said body (3,4).
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
24 words
A device according to Claim 1, wherein said body has a shape corresponding to the shape of the ski portion to be inserted therein.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
30 words
A device according to Claim 1, wherein said body (3,4) has a shape deviating at least in part from the shape of the ski portion (1,2) to be inserted therein.
Claim 5
Independent Claim
39 words
A device according to Claims 1, 3, wherein a forward end portion of said body (3,4) deviates sidewise with respect to a center line thereof corresponding to the center line of the ski portion (1,2) to be inserted therein.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
52 words
A device according to Claim 4, wherein the other side of said end portion opposite to the side towards which the end portion deviates has a convex curvilinear shape (9,10) and wherein said forward end portion terminates with a tip (7) offset sidewise with respect to said center line of said body.
Claim 7
Independent Claim
39 words
A device according to Claims 1-5, wherein said body has a hollow body portion (17) containing in the interior thereof an incoherent free mass (22,122,222), which by virtue of its inertia dampens the vibratory movement of the ski tip.
Claim 8
Independent Claim
21 words
A device according to Claims 1-6, wherein said body (3,4,104) is fastened to the ski tip (1,2) by mechanical means (12,13,14,21,121,221).
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
26 words
A device according to Claim 7, wherein fastening of said body (3,4,104) to the ski tip (1,2) is accomplished by means of through screws (14,21,121, 221).
Claim 10
Independent Claim
38 words
A device according to Claims 6-8, wherein said incoherent free mass (22,122,222) comprises a heavy granulated element such as sand or at least one metal ball which only partially occupies the hollow chamber (18,118,218) in said body (17,117,217).
Claim 11
Independent Claim
26 words
A device according to Claims 6-8, wherein said incoherent free mass (22,122,222) comprises a heavy liquid such as oil or heavy liquid metal such as mercury.
Claim 12
Independent Claim
39 words
A device according to Claims 6-10, wherein said hollow body (218) comprises a closure cap (219) threaded thereon for adjusting the volume of the cavity of the hollow body, said cap (219) being optionally formed from a transparent material.
