Definitions

  • the invention relates to a ski with a base having a tread with longitudinal edges, on which substantially non-elastic outer edges are provided on the underside of the longitudinal edges, a recess running in the longitudinal direction of the ski being provided between the outer edge and the tread.
  • a snow sliding board which consists of a base body with a profiled underside.
  • This profiled underside has a flat area serving as a tread.
  • This area is adjoined laterally by the longitudinal edges, which are wing-like and elastic.
  • the area serving as the tread extends over approximately 30% of the cross-section, the remaining 70% being accounted for by the longitudinal edges.
  • This snow sliding board designed as a snowboard therefore has an extremely narrow tread and long cantilevered longitudinal edges which can be elastically deformed when the edges are used when cornering become. Although these edges may bring advantages for such snow gliding boards, these edges are unsuitable for skis, such as a mono-ski, downhill ski, cross-country ski or even snowboards with a running surface that extends over the entire width.
  • a slalom ski has become known, in which the outer edges are formed by a steel rail, and a recess extending in the longitudinal direction of the ski is provided between the outer edge and the tread.
  • Such outer edges are inelastic and are therefore suitable for use on the skis specified above.
  • the outer edges are at the level of the contact surface or tread of the ski, which has the consequence that the edges are permanently in use and the ski is therefore very difficult to ski because the edges grip permanently. While this may be advantageous for a slalom ski, this structure is unusable for an all-round ski.
  • the invention is therefore based on the object of providing a ski which hardly differs in appearance from a conventional ski, has a better grip, has increased stability and is nevertheless easy to ski.
  • the grip of the edges should not only be retained for a short time after sanding, but over a long period.
  • the outer edges are set back with respect to the tread, in particular by an angle different from 0 °, and the outer edges extend over the entire tread of the ski. Since the outer edges of the ski according to the invention extend over the entire length of the ski, this has a significantly improved stability or longitudinal guidance, since not only the central region, which generally has the binding, but also the tip and the end of the ski the outer edge according to the invention is equipped.
  • Another advantage is that the outer edge is set back with respect to the tread so that the outer edge is not permanently engaged. This advantage can already be achieved by a slight angling of, for example, 1 ° or 2 °, which creates a distance of 1 mm to 2 mm from the outer edge to the earth's surface. Since the outer edge is also inelastic, the geometry does not change when the edge is loaded, which contributes to a considerable increase in stability.
  • the edge wears out after grinding the grip of the ski is retained even with a relatively blunt edge, since the hook-like shape of the outer edges is still present.
  • the ski does not differ from a conventional ski in terms of handling.
  • the outer edge is preferably provided on a rail.
  • This rail can be used instead of the conventional edge in the conventional manufacturing process.
  • the changeover to the ski according to the invention is therefore extremely simple.
  • the recess is preferably designed as a bevel, as a groove or as a groove.
  • the form of the recess which is most favorable for the acute application can be used in each case.
  • the outer edge is set back in sections, for example in the middle region of the ski.
  • An increase in safety is achieved in that the outer edges are sharp-edged in the direction of the running surfaces of the ski and rounded off or beveled towards the outside. Tilting over the outer edge is reduced or reduced by the bevelled or rounded outer flank. The risk of injury is reduced, whereas the sharp edge is retained, so that the ski still grips well on icy or smooth ground, which reduces the effort required, especially when cornering or slaloming. The skier can literally hang on to the edge.
  • the outer edge is preferably provided on a rail and the rail is interchangeably fastened to the ski.
  • the rail is adjustably mountable on the ski by means of a holding and / or adjusting device with respect to the longitudinal central axis or the running surface of the ski. Due to the interchangeable attachment of the ski, it can be provided with new outer edges if the edges are worn or damaged, or rails with other edge geometries can be used. The entire running property, grip, ability to turn, etc. of the ski can be adjusted via the adjusting device and, on the one hand, can be adapted to the skill of the skier or to the snow conditions.
  • the rail and the adjusting device each have a corresponding saw toothing, via which the position of the rail on the ski can be defined.
  • the serration offers a precisely defined position of the edge with respect to the running surface, on the other hand a relatively simple assembly, since the rail only has to be clamped due to the serration.
  • the adjusting device is preferably parallel to the contact surface or earth surface or at an angle this arranged.
  • the adjustment device can be used to set the distance of the outer edge from the surface of the earth, and on the other hand the distance of the outer edge from the longitudinal center line of the ski.
  • a high wear resistance is achieved in that the side edges consist at least in sections of hard metal or a hardened steel.
  • the outer edges can e.g. also consist of a hard plastic.
  • the ski has a removable end cap, so that after the end cap has been removed, the rail is pulled out of the ski to the rear as an exchangeable rail or edging edge and e.g. can be exchanged for a new one. In this way, the position of the edge on the ski can also be changed if an adjusting device is provided.
  • the tread of the ski is flat, convex. V-shaped or V-shaped with a flat central section.
  • the tread designed according to the invention reinforces the dynamics of the ski, so that constant changes in direction, especially during slalom rides, are facilitated, since the approach to initiate the rotary movement is facilitated.
  • the tread according to the invention can be provided on its own or in combination with the recessed outer edge on a ski.
  • the outer edge has one or more openings, cutouts or the like along its length, the openings, cutouts or the like being arranged regularly and in particular being U-shaped or V-shaped or sawtooth-shaped.
  • Such a ski is suitable, for example, for slalom skiing.
  • the sawtooth shape has the advantage that the breakouts do not brake when driving.
  • Figures 1 - 3 each have a cross section
  • Figures 4 - 6 each have a cross section
  • FIGS 11-13 • Embodiments of further variants.
  • FIGS. 1 to 3 through a ski which is only shown by way of example and is designated overall by 1, it can clearly be seen that it consists of a base body 2 with a tread 3 and two longitudinal edges 4 and 5.
  • the structure of the base body 2 can be varied and is not shown here for the sake of simplicity.
  • the side areas on the underside of the base body 2 are chamfered and the longitudinal edges 4 and 5 are provided on these chamfers 6.
  • These are designed as rails 7 and 8 and each have an outer edge 9 and 10 at the outer end.
  • These outer edges 9 and 10 are hook-like and point in the direction of the support surface 11 for the ski 1.
  • FIG. 1 is formed by a bevel 13 or an inclined surface of the rail 7 or 8.
  • the recess 12 is formed by a groove 14 provided on the rail 7 or 8
  • the recess 12 is formed by a fillet 15.
  • the rails 7 and 8 are not on one Bevel 6 attached but essentially horizontal, the free space between the outer edges 9 and 10 and the support surface 11 is achieved by a correspondingly smaller vertical dimension of the outer edge 9 and 10.
  • the outer edge 9 or 10 can be partially hardened or made of a hard metal. It can also be made of a hard plastic.
  • skis 1 shown in FIGS. 4 to 6 have rails 7 and 8, which are designed in accordance with the embodiments of FIGS. 1 to 3, but this is not absolutely necessary.
  • the tread shows
  • the tread 3 is V-shaped, wherein the opening angle ⁇ can have a value between 170 ° and 180 °.
  • the tread 3 of the embodiment according to FIG. 5 is convexly rounded or bent, so that here too the side edges 16 of the tread 3 are at a distance from the contact surface 11.
  • the tread 3 has a flat central region 17 and two angled side regions 18 and 19.
  • the angle ⁇ between the flat region 17 and the side region 18 or 19 is 175 ° to 180 °.
  • FIG. 7 shows an embodiment of an exchangeable rail 7, which can be inserted laterally, for example, into a slot 21 provided in the longitudinal edge 4 of the ski 1.
  • a longitudinal insertion is also conceivable.
  • Several screws 22 are provided for fastening the rail 7 in the slot 21 of the longitudinal edge 4.
  • Figures 8 to 10 show embodiments of an interchangeable rail 7, which is also fastened to the longitudinal edge 4 by means of screws 22.
  • the rail 7 has a saw toothing 23 on its upper side, which corresponds to a saw toothing 24 of an adjusting device 25.
  • the rail 7 is inserted into the adjusting device 25 such that the saw teeth 23 and 24 engage in one another in a form-fitting manner.
  • the rail 7 is then fastened to the longitudinal edge 4 by means of the screws 22.
  • the rail 7 is adjusted e.g. by loosening the screws 22 and shifting the rail 7 in the direction of the double arrow 26.
  • the rail 7 is then fixed again using the screws 22.
  • the rail 7 has a claw 27 at the end opposite the outer edge 9, which claw is in an undercut 28
  • Receiving device 29 engages.
  • the receiving device 29 serves to absorb the forces acting on the rail 7.
  • This rail 7 is mounted interchangeably, but not adjustable.
  • the rail 7 is inserted into a slot 30 provided in the longitudinal edge 4 and also held there by screws 22.
  • the rail 7 has a saw toothing 23 and, for example, an aluminum lower flange 31 of the ski 1 has a corresponding saw toothing 24.
  • This S-track 7 is also in the direction of the double arrow 26 adjustable.
  • the adjusting device 25 can have the same inclined position as the longitudinal edge 4, but it can also be provided horizontally in the longitudinal edge 4.
  • the outer edge 9 has an inner flank 32 and an outer flank 33.
  • the outer edges 9 are V-shaped, whereas in the embodiment of FIG. 13 the inner flank 32 is essentially vertical and the outer flank 33 is slightly inclined upwards.
  • the recess 12 is achieved in the embodiments of Figures 11 and 13 by angled milling of the edge of the tread 3, so that this recess 12 is formed between the tread 3 and the inner edge 32.
  • the longitudinal edge 4 in the embodiment of Figure 12 can e.g. a conventional longitudinal edge, e.g. is brought to the form shown by post-processing.
  • the recess 12 is machined into the longitudinal edge 4, it being possible for it to be V-shaped or as a fillet.
  • the outer edge 9 is clearly set back from the plane of the tread 3, so that it is, for example, a distance of 1-2 mm from the plane of the tread 3, or at an angle S of 1 ° to 5 °, in particular is set back from 2 °.
  • the longitudinal edges 4 have dimensions like conventional longitudinal edges and can be attached to the ski in the same way. The special profile design can be done before attaching to the ski or after.
  • the outer edge 9 is provided with a plurality of cutouts 34 which are connected to the recess 12. These outbreaks can be rolled in, milled in, rolled in or introduced in some other way into the outer edge. In any case, the outer edge 12 is interrupted several times by cutouts 34.
  • the ski 1 according to the invention is not only more easy to turn and maneuverable, but also much safer on ice and smooth ground, since it has a better grip. Finally, it can be adapted to the skill of the skier or to the snow conditions by means of the interchangeable rail 7 or 8.
