Description

La présente invention concerne une planche de glisse sur neige comprenant une face extérieure décorée formée par un élément extérieur de décoration et de protectionThe present invention relates to a gliding board on snow comprising a decorated outer face formed by an outer element of decoration and protection

Les planches de glisse sur neige, c'est-à-dire, ski alpin, surf, ski de fond et d'autres encore, sont de plus en plus richement décorées de façon à masquer le corps ou la structure interne de la planche. La décoration donne des effets visuels qui s'avèrent agréable et attractifs pour l'utilisateur et pour son entourage. La décoration constitue ainsi un argument commercial non négligeable.Sliding boards on snow, that is to say, alpine skiing, surfing, cross-country skiing and others, are increasingly richly decorated to hide the body or the internal structure of the board. The decoration gives visual effects that are pleasant and attractive for the user and those around him. Decoration is thus a significant commercial argument.

La décoration est généralement constituée par des lettres et des signes distinctifs représentant les marques et par des aplats et des tracés de couleur. Ces surfaces décorées ont en plus de l'effet esthétique, un rôle de protection de la structure de la planche contre les agressions extérieures, telles que les coups de carres, les chocs.The decoration is generally made up of letters and distinctive signs representing the marks and by flat areas and colored lines. These decorated surfaces have in addition to the aesthetic effect, a protective role of the structure of the board against external aggression, such as strokes, shocks.

Etat de la techniqueState of the art

Il est connu de réaliser à la fois la décoration et la protection de la surface supérieure de la planche de glisse à l'aide d'une feuille ou d'un complexe de plusieurs matériaux thermoplastiques. La feuille constituant la surface de protection et de décoration peut être décorée par le dessus, une fois le ski moulé. Toutefois, afin de préserver la décoration, la feuille peut avantageusement être décorée sur sa face interne, avant d'être positionnée et liée à la structure interne de la planche. Le décor peut également être noyé dans l'épaisseur de la feuille de décoration, en utilisant par exemple des encres migrantes, permettant d'obtenir des décors dit « transfert ». Il est également possible d'utiliser des complexes de plusieurs feuilles, dont l'une est décorée, et qui sont assemblées par plaxage.It is known to realize both the decoration and the protection of the upper surface of the gliding board with a sheet or a complex of several thermoplastic materials. The sheet constituting the protective and decorative surface can be decorated from above, once the ski molded. However, in order to preserve the decoration, the sheet may advantageously be decorated on its inner face, before being positioned and linked to the internal structure of the board. The decor can also be embedded in the thickness of the decorative sheet, for example by using migrating inks, to obtain so-called "transfer" decorations. It is also possible to use multi-leaf complexes, one of which is decorated, and which are assembled by plaxing.

On connaît d'après le document FR- 2.741.011 un procédé de décoration d'une planche à l'aide d'un complexe comportant une feuille de protection en matière thermoplastique, la surface en contact avec le support étant revêtue d'au moins une couche de décoration. Le complexe est opaque, est appliqué sous pression sur le support après avoir été porté à la température de ramollissement de ses composants. L'orientation des pigments colorés fait apparaître le tracé des aspérités de la surface du support à travers l'opacité du complexe, tout en conservant une surface lisse sur la face extérieure du complexe.We know from the document FR-2,741,011 a method of decorating a board with a complex comprising a protective sheet of thermoplastic material, the surface in contact with the support being coated with at least one decorative layer. The complex is opaque, is applied under pressure on the support after being brought to the softening temperature of its components. The orientation of the colored pigments reveals the outline of the asperities of the surface of the support through the opacity of the complex, while maintaining a smooth surface on the outer face of the complex.

Cependant, pour que le tracé des aspérités apparaisse au travers du complexe opaque, il est nécessaire d'utiliser des pigments spécifiques pour la couche de décoration, et que la surface de la structure en contact avec l'élément de protection ne soit pas lisse.However, for the roughness pattern to appear through the opaque complex, it is necessary to use specific pigments for the decorative layer, and that the surface of the structure in contact with the protection element is not smooth.

On connaît également d'après le document FR- 2.830.200 une planche de glisse sur neige comprenant une face extérieure de l'élément extérieur de décoration et de protection qui comporte au moins partiellement une surface structurée, présentant de multiples parties en retrait ou parties en surélévation, la profondeur des parties en retrait étant inférieure à l'épaisseur de l'élément extérieur de décoration et de protection.It is also known from the document FR-2.830.200 a snow sliding board comprising an outer surface of the outer decorative and protective element which at least partially comprises a structured surface having a plurality of recessed portions or raised portions, the depth of the recessed portions being less than 1 thickness of the outer decoration and protection element.

Cependant, une telle surface rugueuse pour l'élément extérieur de décoration et de protection présente l'inconvénient d'accrocher la neige et la glace, ce qui alourdit considérablement la planche lors de son utilisation et cache en les recouvrant les effets esthétiques souhaités au départ. En outre, la réalisation de ces reliefs externes nécessite l'emploi de moules à reliefs coûteux à concevoir.However, such a rough surface for the outer element of decoration and protection has the disadvantage of hanging snow and ice, which considerably increases the board during use and hides by covering the desired aesthetic effects at the start . In addition, the realization of these external reliefs requires the use of relief molds expensive to design.

Le document EP-A-1375190 divulgue une planche de glisse sur neige telle que divulgué dans la revendication, mais dans ce document la couche de décoration recouvre l'ensemble de l'élément extérieur de protection. Ce document est cité en titre de l'Article 54(3) CBE.The document EP-A-1375190 discloses a snow sliding board as disclosed in the claim, but in this document the decorative layer covers the entire outer protective element. This document is cited under Article 54 (3) EPC.

Exposé de l'inventionPresentation of the invention

Un problème principal que se propose de résoudre l'invention consiste à obtenir une planche de glisse sur neige présentant un élément extérieur de décoration et de protection à superficie lisse, et dont la décoration donne l'impression que des reliefs apparaissent en surface. Un deuxième problème est celui de mettre en oeuvre un procédé de décoration qui permette d'obtenir un aspect visuel d'aspérités en superficie d'une planche de glisse, sans avoir besoin d'utiliser un moule avec des reliefs.A main problem to be solved by the invention is to obtain a snow board on snow having an outer element of decoration and protection with smooth surface, and whose decoration gives the impression that reliefs appear on the surface. A second problem is that of implementing a decoration process that allows to obtain a visual appearance of roughness on the surface of a gliding board, without the need to use a mold with reliefs.

L'invention concerne donc une planche de glisse sur neige comprenant une structure interne qui présente une surface supérieure lisse. Cette structure interne comprend notamment une semelle de glisse et un noyau avec ou sans chants latéraux. La planche comporte en outre une face extérieure formée d'un élément extérieur de décoration et de protection présentant une surface extérieure lisse.The invention therefore relates to a snow sliding board comprising an internal structure which has a smooth upper surface. This internal structure includes a gliding sole and a core with or without side edges. The board further comprises an outer face formed of an outer element of decoration and protection having a smooth outer surface.

Conformément à un premier aspect de la présente invention, la planche est caractérisée en ce que l'élément extérieur de décoration et de protection est transparent ou translucide et est recouvert d'une couche de décoration sur une partie de sa surface entrant en contact avec la surface supérieure lisse de la structure interne, l'épaisseur de toute ou partie de l'élément extérieur de décoration et de protection entre la couche de décoration et la surface extérieure lisse de l'élément extérieur de décoration et de protection étant variable, afin de donner un effet esthétique.According to a first aspect of the present invention, the board is characterized in that the outer decorative and protective element is transparent or translucent and is covered with a decorative layer on a part of its surface in contact with the smooth upper surface of the inner structure, the thickness of all or part of the outer decorative and protective element between the decorative layer and the smooth outer surface of the outer decorative element and protection being variable, in order to give an aesthetic effect.

Autrement dit, la distance entre la face interne et la face externe lisse de l'élément extérieur de décoration et de protection est variable. Cette variation de distance permet de créer des effets qui sont visibles au travers de l'élément extérieur de décoration et de protection. Cette variation de distance n'affecte pas la surface extérieure de l'élément extérieur de décoration et de protection qui reste lisse.In other words, the distance between the inner face and the smooth outer face of the outer element of decoration and protection is variable. This variation of distance makes it possible to create effects that are visible through the outer element of decoration and protection. This variation in distance does not affect the outer surface of the outer decorative and protective element which remains smooth.

Très favorablement, l'épaisseur de l'élément extérieur de décoration et de protection peut variable, grâce à la présence d'une pièce rapportée présentant des reliefs. Cette pièce rapportée peut être intercalée entre la couche de décoration et la structure interne. La pièce rapportée présentant des reliefs peut être une plaque ondulée ou un textile non ajouré.Very favorably, the thickness of the outer element of decoration and protection can vary, thanks to the presence of a patch having reliefs. This insert can be interposed between the decorative layer and the internal structure. The insert having reliefs may be a corrugated plate or a non-perforated textile.

L'épaisseur de l'élément extérieur de décoration et de protection peut être préférentielement variable grâce à la présence d'une pré-déformation de cet élément extérieur de décoration et de protection, préalablement à son association au reste de la planche de glisse. Cette pré-déformation peut être située sur la face destinée à recevoir la couche de décoration. La pré-déformation peut résulter d'un calandrage ou d'une déformation locale à chaud, par exemple à l'aide de poinçon chauffant, ou de dispositifs à hautes fréquences ou à ultra son.The thickness of the outer element of decoration and protection may be preferably variable through the presence of a pre-deformation of the outer element of decoration and protection, prior to its association with the rest of the gliding board. This pre-deformation may be located on the face intended to receive the decorative layer. The pre-deformation may result from hot calendering or local deformation, for example by means of heating punch, or high frequency or ultra-sonic devices.

De manière particulièrement avantageuse, la déformation peut être obtenue au moment du moulage par une grille ou une plaque. La grille ou la plaque peut être intercalée entre la couche de décoration et la structure interne.Particularly advantageously, the deformation can be obtained at the time of molding by a grid or a plate. The grid or the plate may be interposed between the decorative layer and the internal structure.

L'épaisseur de l'élément extérieur de décoration et de protection peut favorablement varier entre 0,3 mm et 2 mm. Cette épaisseur peut être de préférence sensiblement égale à 0,6 mm. En pratique, la profondeur des reliefs, mesurée entre les points hauts et les points bas de la surface de la couche de décoration en contact avec structure interne de la planche, est comprise entre 10 % et 80 % de l'épaisseur maximale de l'élément extérieur de décoration et de protection. Autrement dit, l'épaisseur de l'élément extérieur de décoration et de protection avant déformation varie entre 20 % et 90 % de son épaisseur maximale.The thickness of the outer decoration and protection element may favorably vary between 0.3 mm and 2 mm. This thickness may preferably be substantially equal to 0.6 mm. In practice, the depth of the reliefs, measured between the high points and the low points of the surface of the decorative layer in contact with the internal structure of the board, is between 10% and 80% of the maximum thickness of the exterior element of decoration and protection. In other words, the thickness of the outer decoration and protection element before deformation varies between 20% and 90% of its maximum thickness.

La couche de décoration peut être constituée par une couche de laque et/ou une couche d'encre de sérigraphie et/ou une couche de vernis. La laque peut être pigmentée, c'est-à-dire comporter des particules métalliques ou autres. L'élément extérieur de décoration et de protection peut en outre comprendre au moins une couche de décoration supplémentaire enduite sur toute ou partie de la surface de la couche de décoration entrant en contact avec l'élément extérieur.The decorative layer may consist of a lacquer layer and / or a screen printing ink layer and / or a lacquer layer. The lacquer may be pigmented, that is to say comprise metal particles or other. The outer decoration and protection element may further comprise at least one additional decorative layer coated on all or part of the surface of the decorative layer coming into contact with the outer element.

Description détaillée de l'inventionDetailed description of the invention

Comme l'illustrent les Figures 1 et 2, une planche de glisse sur neige, par exemple un ski alpin (1), présente une semelle de glisse (2) bordée par deux carres latérales (3 et 4). Le ski (1) comprend un élément supérieur de protection et de décoration (6) formant la protection et la décoration de la face supérieure du ski (1). Le ski (1) comprend deux éléments de renforcement latéraux (7 et 8) formant les chants. Une structure interne (9) du ski (1) est formée par exemple par injection d'une mousse de polyuréthanne et comprend en outre un ou plusieurs renforts internes (non représentés). La structure interne (9) présente une surface supérieure (10) sensiblement lisse.As illustrated by Figures 1 and 2 , a snowboard on snow, for example an alpine ski (1), has a gliding sole (2) bordered by two side edges (3 and 4). The ski (1) comprises an upper protective and decorative element (6) forming the protection and decoration of the upper face of the ski (1). The ski (1) comprises two lateral reinforcing elements (7 and 8) forming the edges. An internal structure (9) of the ski (1) is formed for example by injection of a polyurethane foam and further comprises one or more internal reinforcements (not shown). The internal structure (9) has a substantially smooth upper surface (10).

Dans cet exemple, une zone décorée (11) apparaît sur une partie de la superficie de la face supérieure du ski (1). Cette zone décorée laisse apparaître des effets de relief, représentés ici sous la forme d'un quadrillage régulier (12). L'élément supérieur de décoration et de protection (6) est transparent. La face externe (13) de l'élément supérieur de décoration et de protection (6) est lisse.In this example, a decorated area (11) appears on a part of the surface of the upper face of the ski (1). This decorated area reveals relief effects, represented here in the form of a regular grid (12). The upper decoration and protection element (6) is transparent. The outer face (13) of the upper decorative and protective element (6) is smooth.

Conformément à l'invention, et afin de créer l'effet visuel de reliefs, des déformations sont ménagées sur la face interne (16) de l'élément supérieur de décoration et de protection (6). Comme exposé ci après, plusieurs modes de réalisation permettent d'obtenir ces déformations. De façon générale, ces déformations (14) donnent deux épaisseurs différentes (E1 et E2) entre la face externe lisse (13) et la partie la plus en excroissance de la face interne (16) de l'élément supérieur de décoration et de protection (6). L'élément supérieur de décoration et de protection (6) absorbe les variations d'épaisseur (E1 - E2).According to the invention, and in order to create the visual effect of reliefs, deformations are provided on the inner face (16) of the upper decoration and protection element (6). As explained below, several embodiments make it possible to obtain these deformations. In general, these deformations (14) give two different thicknesses (E 1 and E 2 ) between the smooth outer face (13) and the most protruding portion of the inner face (16) of the upper decorative element and protection (6). The upper decoration and protection element (6) absorbs thickness variations (E 1 - E 2 ).

Les déformations (14) obtenues sont réparties de manière régulière sur tout ou partie de la face interne (16) de l'élément supérieur de décoration et de protection (6). L'ensemble obtenu présente ces déformations (14) sur toute la surface (16) de l'élément supérieur de décoration (6) ou sur une partie seulement pour obtenir cet effet de manière localisée.The deformations (14) obtained are distributed evenly over all or part of the inner face (16) of the upper decoration and protection element (6). The assembly obtained has these deformations (14) over the entire surface (16) of the upper decorative element (6) or only a part to obtain this effect in a localized manner.

Dans un premier mode de réalisation (voir Figures 2 et 3), les déformations (14) sont réalisés à l'aide d'une grille (17) intercalée entre l'ensemble supérieur de décoration et de protection (6) et la structure interne (9). Une couche de décoration (18), par exemple une laque pigmentée, vient accentuer les effets visuels des reliefs obtenus. La grille (17) peut être une grille de verre, une grille métallique,... La pièce intercalée peut aussi avoir une autre forme comme par exemple une tôle perforée, une plaque ondulée, un tissu non ajouré à tissage très serré, et d'autres encore.In a first embodiment (see Figures 2 and 3 ), the deformations (14) are made using a grid (17) interposed between the upper set of decoration and protection (6) and the internal structure (9). A decorative layer (18), for example a pigmented lacquer, accentuates the visual effects of the reliefs obtained. The grid (17) may be a glass grid, a metal grid, etc. The intercalated part may also have another shape such as for example a perforated plate, a corrugated plate, a non-perforated fabric with a very tight weave, and still others.

Dans un deuxième mode de réalisation (voir Figures 4 à 6), les déformations (24) sont obtenues par une déformation préalable ou pré-déformation de la face interne (36) de l'élément supérieur de décoration et de protection (26). Cette déformation préalable est obtenue par exemple par calandrage localisé de la feuille donnant l'élément supérieur (26) à surface extérieure lisse (23).In a second embodiment (see Figures 4 to 6 ), the deformations (24) are obtained by prior deformation or pre-deformation of the inner face (36) of the upper decoration and protection element (26). This prior deformation is obtained for example by localized calendering of the sheet giving the upper element (26) to smooth outer surface (23).

Une couche de décoration (28), par exemple une laque pigmentée, vient accentuer les effets visuels des reliefs obtenus, en comblant au moins partiellement les zones en creux (27) formées par calandrage. L'effet visuel est donc obtenu non seulement par la variation d'épaisseur (E1 - E2) de la couche transparente, mais également par la variation de densité de laque pigmentée, entre les zones les plus creusées (27), et les zones les moins déformées (25).A decorative layer (28), for example a pigmented lacquer, accentuates the visual effects of the reliefs obtained, at least partially filling the recessed zones (27) formed by calendering. The visual effect is thus obtained not only by the variation of thickness (E 1 - E 2 ) of the transparent layer, but also by the variation of pigmented lacquer density, between the most excavated areas (27), and the least deformed areas (25).

La présente invention n'est pas limitée aux modes de réalisation décrits et illustrés. De nombreuses modifications peuvent être réalisées, sans pour autant sortir du cadre défini par la portée du jeu de revendications.The present invention is not limited to the embodiments described and illustrated. Many modifications can be made, without departing from the scope defined by the scope of the set of claims.

Snow gliding board comprising an internal structure (9) with a smooth upper surface (10), said internal structure (9) comprising a sliding sole plate (2) and a core with or without lateral edges, said board further comprising an external face formed of an external decorative and protective element (6, 26) with a smooth external surface (13, 23), characterized in that the external decorative and protective element (6, 26) is transparent or translucent and is coated with a decorative layer (18, 28) over one part of its surface (16, 36) coming into contact with the smooth upper surface (10) of the internal structure (9), the thickness (E1, E2) of all or part of the external decorative and protective element (6, 26) between the decorative layer (18, 28) and the smooth external surface (13, 23) of the external decorative and protective element (6, 26) being variable, so as to give an aesthetic effect.
  2. Snow gliding board as claimed in claim 1, characterized in that the thickness (E1, E2) of the external decorative and protective element (26) is variable due to the presence of an insert with projections, interposed between the decorative layer (18) and the internal structure (9).
  3. Snow gliding board as claimed in claim 2, characterized in that the insert with projections is an undulated plate or a non openwork textile.
  4. Snow gliding board as claimed in any one of the previous claims, characterized in that the thickness (E1, E2) of the external decorative and protective element (26) is variable due to the presence of a pre-deformation of said element (26) on the side of the decorated face (36), prior to its association with the rest of the board (1).
  5. Snow gliding board as claimed in claim 4, characterized in that the thickness (E1, E2) of the external decorative and protective element (26) is variable due to a calendering process that generates a pre-deformation of said element (26) prior to its association with the rest of the board (1).
  6. Snow gliding board as claimed in claim 4, characterized in that the thickness of the external decorative and protective element (26) is variable due to the implementation of local hot deformations that generate a pre-deformation of said element (26) prior to its association with the rest of the board (1).
  7. Snow gliding board as claimed in any one of the previous claims, characterized in that the thickness (E1, E2) of the external decorative and protective element (6, 26) varies between 0.3 mm and 2 mm, and is preferably substantially equal to 0.6 mm.
  8. Snow gliding board as claimed in any one of the previous claims, characterized in that the thickness (E1, E2) of the external decorative and protective element (6, 26) varies between 10% and 80% of the maximum thickness of said element (6, 26) before deformation.
  9. Snow gliding board as claimed in any one of the previous claims, characterized in that the decorative layer (18, 28) is constituted by a layer of lacquer and/or a layer of screen printing ink and/or a layer of varnish.
  10. Snow gliding board as claimed in claim 9, characterized in that the lacquer is pigmented.
  11. Snow gliding board as claimed in any one of the previous claims, characterized in that the external decorative and protective element (6, 26) further comprises at least one additional decorative layer coated onto all or part of the surface of the decorative layer (18, 28) coming into contact with the external element (6, 26).
