Abstract:
A method of changing a shape of a gliding surface of a gliding device may involve, in response to longitudinal deflection of the gliding device, causing at least one force transfer element to move longitudinally relative to the gliding device. Causing the at least one force transfer element to move longitudinally relative to the gliding device may involve causing the at least one force transfer element to deflect first and second laterally opposite side elements of the gliding device along a portion of the gliding device extending longitudinally along a binding region of the gliding device. Apparatuses and gliding devices are also disclosed.

Claim (Index 49):
The gliding device of  claim 34  wherein:\n causing the at least one force transfer element to deflect the first and second laterally opposite side elements comprises causing the first and second laterally opposite side elements to move laterally towards each other; \n the at least one force transfer element comprises first and second tapered surfaces extending acutely and laterally relative to a longitudinal axis of the gliding device on laterally opposite sides of the at least one force transfer element, wherein the at least one force transfer element is configured to maintain a generally constant separation distance between the first and second tapered surfaces; \n the gliding device comprises a third tapered surface extending acutely and laterally relative to the longitudinal axis of the gliding device, wherein the gliding device is configured to transfer a force from the third tapered surface to the first laterally opposite side element; \n the gliding device comprises a fourth tapered surface extending acutely and laterally relative to the longitudinal axis of the gliding device, wherein the gliding device is configured to transfer a force from the fourth tapered surface to the second laterally opposite side element; and \n the at least one force transfer element is configured to move the first tapered surface along and in contact with the third tapered surface and to move the second tapered surface along and in contact with the fourth tapered surface and in response to the longitudinal movement of the at least one force transfer element relative to the gliding device.
