DE2641749A1 - ADHESIVE FILM FOR SKIING AREAS - Google Patents

Abstract

Adhesive film for skis, the outside of the film being impregnated with a ski wax, being used directly as a bottom coating or being covered with a second, wax-like film which exhibits special sliding properties. This relates both to adhesive wax and to downhill wax. This means that waxing, which has hitherto been a standard, time-consuming procedure, is no longer necessary, which represents an enormous improvement, especially for touring and cross-country skiing. It is furthermore possible to effect a very rapid conversion from uphill to downhill skiing, or from one type of snow to another, without having to scrape off an old coating, as one film is simply pulled off and another one stuck on. In addition, all fixedly adhering ski coatings which have been used to date and which are generally not particularly scrape-proof can be replenished. Decorative and advertising effects can be achieved by colouring or printing the adhesive film.

Description

KI; SHEEP FILM FOR SKIING OFFICES

The invention relates to an exchangeable adhesive film for ski treads, those on the outside with ski wax or another that influences the sliding properties Funds is provided.

The impregnation of ski running surfaces with ski wax has long been known. It has the disadvantage that the wax can only be applied, scraped off and changed laborious and time consuming. The procedure is still going to be special for cross-country skiing. With today's standard plastic ski surfaces around the slopes Touring skis do not need to be waxed in and of themselves, but they are still often used: To improve the running properties, especially on scratched surfaces; around them adapt to snow conditions; when climbing (application of climbing wax).

The use of sealskin or woven plush climbing skins is also known. They are for multiple times Intended use, but soon diminish in their effectiveness and must, provided they are with glue be attached, repainted more often.

The present invention avoids all of these disadvantages. she allows to change the type of surface in the shortest possible time and to adapt it to the snow conditions; in cross-country skiing or touring very quickly from downhill to ascent conditions or vice versa; if the covering is scratched or damaged, the running properties restore or protect a tread from scratching or damage.

According to the invention, this is achieved through the use of an adhesive film or with an adhesive tape that is coated on the outside with a special ski wax (for running or climbing purposes) is impregnated or the outside is made of PE (polyethylene), PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) or another slide-promoting or slide-inhibiting Substance is made. The film is glued to the existing running surface and after use removed and replaced by a new one, which experience has shown in an extremely short time is possible, as opposed to applying and scraping off ski wax. It can be commercial Foils or adhesive tapes made of PVC (polyvinyl chloride), paper, synthetic fabric, Cotton etc. are used on the outside with ski wax, climbing wax etc. are impregnated.

A pressure-sensitive adhesive is made on the inside in the usual way Natural or synthetic rubber, polyvinyl ether, polyvinyl butyrate, etc. applied, the using synthetic or natural resin, plasticizers, fillers and anti-aging agents is adapted to the needs of the weather.

On foils made of PE (polyethylene), PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) or Similar waxy plastics is the pressure sensitive adhesive after a chemical or physical pretreatment applied. All these manufacturing methods that already for industrial films and adhesive tapes have been known for a long time, but should not Be the subject of this invention. The use of previously common, non-impregnated, woven plush skins are not affected.

By using just one of these processes that are customary for industrial films it is possible to simplify the production of the covering so that it can be used only once becomes possible, which makes repairs to surfaces or climbing skins superfluous. The tapes can be in roll form or individually, with or without, better with intermediate layers made of siliconized or ribbed paper etc. can be used. You can also be provided with a protective coating on both sides and on one side a metal or plastic brackets for hanging in the ski tip included. According to the invention can they can be colored, printed with decorative ornaments or slogans, etc.

The decorative effect can still be achieved by using double-layer foils can be increased.

Execution examples: 1. Downhill or climbing foil A commercially available one Industrial adhesive tape made of cotton of approx.

5 cm width is applied on the outside with ski wax - downhill wax or Climbing wax (e.g. Toko Touring) - impregnated.

The ski wax is in a molten state according to those used in the industry common methods (scraping). The ribbons come in lengths of 1.50 Assembled up to 2.00 m and provided with siliconized protective paper on both sides.

The protective paper is removed from the adhesive surface for use and the film is attached to the ski by simply painting it on. When the ski is wet or full If there is snow, it is better to rub the ski dry beforehand. Then the Protective strip peeled off on the outside.

2. Rennfo: Lie 2, Rennfofe PTRE (polytetrafluoroethylene) etched on one side Foil 0.02 to 0.1 mm thick and approx. 5 cm wide is coated with pressure-sensitive adhesive and cut to the length necessary for skis. It is especially suitable for racing purposes.

3. Departure film A PVC (polyvinyl chloride) tape 0.02 mm thick is made with the help of hot-melt adhesives (e.g. made of polyisobutylene or polyvinyl acetate (PVA) - Polyvinyl chloride (PVC> - Mlschpolymerisat) with a 0.02 mm polyethylene film laminated and then on the PVC (polyvinyl chloride) side ~ with adhesive coated.

This double layer film is very suitable for renewal or for Protection and decoration of the usual ski boots. They can also be used to protect and adorn the The top of the ski can be used because the PVC (polyvinyl chloride) film is colored or written on can be produced, which is a very beautiful one through the polyethylene layer Effect.

This film is produced in roll form and depending on the needs of cut the roll.

4. Downhill or climbing foil ribbons made of creped or reinforced Paper is adhesive on one side and on the other in one operation Side impregnated with ski wax or polyethylene.

Ski wax is poured, polyethylene as a film by means of heat laminated. This double-sided impregnation makes the paper waterproof. It serves as a carrier for the adhesive, but also as a carrier for colored pictures for jewelry or for advertising messages.

The adhesive surface is made of ribbed paper impregnated with silicone protected. On one side there is a simple square made of polyethylene Glued in bracket.

Gluing is done by simply turning over the adhesive tape. The bracket is used to attach to the ski tip.
