  • Another object of the invention is to provide a marking method that allows to mark the machine at any time after the outcome of its manufacture.
  • the method of marking a gliding or rolling machine applies to a machine having a laminated structure comprising a stack of several layers, and / or layers and / or films, the layers and the layers comprising at least one film and / or being separated by a film and / or being covered by a film.
  • the method for marking a gliding or rolling machine comprising a transparent outer layer formed of a plurality of constituents is characterized in that an additive sensitive to the radiation of a laser beam in one of the constituents at the moment of its manufacture or preparation.
  • a marking is subsequently performed using a laser beam which locally reacts the additive.
  • the gliding apparatus according to the invention has a laminated structure comprising a transparent outer layer formed of several constituents.
  • one of the constituents of its transparent outer layer contains at least locally an additive sensitive to the radiation of a laser beam.
  • the figure 1 represents a ski in top view.
  • the figure 2 is a side view of the ski from the figure 1 .
  • the figure 3 cross-section shows the ski section of the figure 1 .
  • the figure 4 schematically represents the structure of the outer layer of the ski of the figure 1 .
  • the figure 5 schematically illustrates the making of the film of the figure 4 .
  • the figure 6 shows schematically the ski marking technique of the preceding figures.
  • the figure 7 represents the ski of the figure 1 after the marking operation.
  • the figure 8 relates to an alternative embodiment.
  • the figure 9 schematically illustrates an alternative embodiment of the invention.
  • the Figures 1 to 3 represent an alpine ski 1.
  • this ski has the shape of an elongated and arched beam with a spatula 2 on the front, a heel 3 on the rear and a central zone 4.
  • the ski has a laminated structure which comprises in particular a central core 6, a gliding sole 7 which is bordered by two lateral edges 8 and 9, and two lower and upper reinforcement subassemblies 10 and 11 respectively located respectively. above and below the nucleus.
  • the reinforcing subassemblies comprise one or more reinforcing layers of resin-impregnated fibers, in particular glass fibers, and / or aluminum alloys.
  • the core is assembled to the reinforcement subassemblies by any appropriate means, in particular by means of the resin of the reinforcing layer with which it is in contact or by means of additional adhesive films.
  • the structure of the ski 1 is not limiting and other methods of construction of the ski may also be suitable.
  • the figure 4 shows in an exploded view the structure of the outer layer of decoration 12. This layer is here produced in accordance with what is described in the patent application EP 774,365 .
  • the layer 12 has a first outer sheet 14 which is transparent and which carries a decoration made by a conventional printing technique, for example screen printing or sublimation.
  • the decoration is preferably made on the face of the first sheet 14 which is oriented towards the inside of the ski.
  • the layer 12 further comprises a second contrast sheet.
  • This sheet is an aluminum foil, a dry fiber web or a layer of wood.
  • the two sheets are assembled together by an adhesive film 16.
  • the adhesive film contains an additive substance that reacts with the laser beam.
  • Such a substance is known.
  • it is a fine powder of titanium dioxide.
  • Other materials may also be suitable. These products are commercially available.
  • the powder is initially mixed with a base chemically compatible with the film material.
  • a base chemically compatible with the film material.
  • the powder is initially mixed with a polyethylene base.
  • the powder would be mixed with a polyamide base.
  • the figure 5 schematically shows the manufacture of the adhesive film 16.
  • This film is polyethylene.
  • the extruder 18 is fed with a mixture of polyethylene granules from a nozzle 20 and a powder sensitive to a laser beam mixed with a polyethylene base via a metering device 22.
  • the extruded film 23 contains the laser sensitive additive. It undergoes the same operations as a regular film for everything related to the manufacture of the ski.
  • the figure 6 schematically represents the ski 25 on a marking bench 27.
  • the ski is in the finished state, that is to say that it has undergone all the manufacturing and finishing operations, although the operation of marking which will now be described could as well be carried out before all or part of the finishing operations.
  • the film containing the laser-sensitive additive has allowed the two sheets 14 and 15 to adhere, the additive contained in the film 16 being in these conditions trapped under the outer sheet 14.
  • the ski is installed on a bench 27 equipped with a laser marking head 29.
  • the type of laser used is not limiting, however it is preferred to use a YAG type laser which is commercially available.
  • the marking head 29 emits a beam 30 which is controlled by any appropriate means, in particular by a computer.
  • the additive reacts by taking a dark color.
  • the path that is followed to the beam can be made any type of marking.
  • the figure 7 shows a ski 35 which carries different markings, and in particular a marking 36 of the barcode or data matrix type, a marking 37 which schematizes a serial number or a specific inscription of the ski, a marking 38 which is an element of the decoration of the ski, and a mark 39 unique to the retailer who would sell or rent the ski.
  • the marking is physically under the outer sheet 14, so it is completely protected by this sheet. It is indelible except to make another marking overcoat.
  • a retailer could also mark his skis himself provided he is equipped with a compatible marking head.
  • a customer may request a custom marking of his skis from the retailer or manufacturer.
  • the technique which has just been described has the advantage that the additive is added in a layer of small thickness, of the order of 50 to 70 microns. As a result, the amount of additive to be added to the production of the film is relatively small, furthermore it is possible to carry out a marking with high definition.
  • the additive could be included in the outer sheet 14. In this case a larger amount of additive would be required and the protection of the marking would be less good.
  • marking can be carried out anywhere on the ski where the film of glue is present, not only the top but also the songs of the ski.
  • the figure 8 illustrates an alternative embodiment of the invention.
  • This figure shows a stack of layers of the same type as the figure 4 previous.
  • the laser-sensitive additive is present in a film 46 of smaller dimensions than those of the adhesive film.
  • the film 46 has for example the same chemical composition as the adhesive film or a composition compatible with the bonding of the two sheets 43 and 44. It is placed in the stack under the outer sheet 14, above or below. glue film, at a place where it is desired to mark once the finished ski.
  • the figure 9 relates to another embodiment of the invention applicable in the case where the ski is covered with a decorative layer in one piece.
  • the decorative layer is made from a strip 50, the manufacture of which is shown schematically in FIG. figure 9 .
  • the band 50 is made by superposition of two films 51, 53 according to a coextrusion technique.
  • the film 51 is extruded from conventional pellets 52 while the film 53 is extruded from pellets 54 which contain the laser sensitive additive.
  • the strip 50 is intended to be used with the outwardly oriented film 51 to protect the other film 53.
  • the outer decorative layer made from the strip 50 comprises on a portion of its thickness, preferably the inward portion of the ski, a layer of material containing an additive sensitive to the radiation of a laser beam.
  • films may be added in the coextrusion operation, in particular films containing other kinds of additives.
  • the layer 55 is decorated by a screen printing technique performed using frames carried by a frame.
  • a frame 56 having a frame 57, and using a squeegee 58 to deposit ink through the mesh of the frame.
  • the ink 59 used in one of the printing phases has been prepared with an additive sensitive to the laser beam. This additive is deposited on the layer 55 at the same time as the ink.
  • lacquer 61 has been prepared with a additive sensitive to the laser beam which is projected onto the layer by the spray head 65.
  • the face of the layer 60 which carries the additive will be on the side of the core, and thus the additive will be protected by the remainder of the layer 60.
  • the additive is added to the varnish during its preparation.
