ABSTRACT:
A dampening assembly includes an elongated plate, an elastomeric pad, and a series of bolts located along a centerline of the ski. The bolts are inserted through slots along the centerline of the plate and through openings in the elastomeric pad before being tightened into threaded nuts fixed to the ski. A rigid spacer is secured within each opening in the elastomeric pad. The spacers each include a raised portion with a hole defined within it to receive one of the mounting bolts. The raised portion is freely slidable within the slot of the plate when the plate is positioned on top of the pad. The pad is thus sandwiched between the metal plate and the ski to dampen vibration between them. Dampening of the plate is further assisted by the placement of a small elastomeric insert between the raised portion and one of the ends of the slot.
