Zum Verbinden der Teile erfolgt an den entsprechenden Stellen vorher ein Kleberauftrag. Die Verstärkungskante muß vor dem Einlegen in die Form entsprechend der Bauhöhe und der Außenform des Kerns in Teilen vorgefertigt werden, was aufwändige Arbeitsgänge zur Folge hat. Bei geschäumten Snowboards werden die notwendigen Teile in die Form eingelegt und PU-Schaum in die Form injiziert, wodurch alle Teile miteinander verbunden werden.
In US-A-4705 291 wird außerdem ein zur weiteren Verarbeitung Snowboard- oder Skikern mit Kunststoff Ummantelung offenbart, bei dem die Ummantelung im Kunststoffspritzgießverfahren an den Kern angespritzt wird.
Die Erfindung hat die Aufgabe, einen einer weiteren Verarbeitung zuführbaren Snowboard- oder Skikern zur Verfügung zu stellen, der über eine Verstärkungskante verfügt, die ohne Klebstoff und Klebestöße mit dem Kern verbunden ist, so dass der Kern bereits mit der Verstärkungskante versehen in die Preßform eingelegt werden kann.So far, in the production of snowboards or skis first the outsole, left and right of the outsole, the steel edges, then a GRP laminate, on the core, around the core, the prefabricated reinforcing strip, then a GRP laminate and finally a cap film placed in a mold and pressed together miteinender. To connect the parts takes place at the appropriate locations previously an adhesive application. The reinforcing edge must be prefabricated in parts prior to insertion into the mold according to the height and the outer shape of the core, resulting in complex operations. With foamed snowboards, the necessary parts are inserted into the mold and injected PU foam into the mold, whereby all parts are joined together.
In US-A-4705291 In addition, a snowboard or ski core with plastic sheath is disclosed for further processing, in which the sheath is injection-molded onto the core in a plastic injection molding process.
The object of the invention is to provide a snowboard or ski core which can be fed for further processing and which has a reinforcing edge which is connected to the core without adhesive and adhesive beads, so that the core is already inserted into the press mold with the reinforcing edge can be.

Fig 1 zeigt ein fertiges Snowboard. Der Snowboardkern (1) ist auf seiner Unterseite mit einer Laufsohle (2) versehen, die an den Kern (1) unter Zwischenlage eines GFK-Laminats angeklebt ist. Auf der Oberseite ist der Kern (1) unter Zwischenlage eines GFK-Laminats mit einer Cap-Folie (3) abgedeckt. Zum Verstärken des Kerns (1) ist die Verstärkungskante (4) vorgesehen. Die Verstärkungskante (4) dient zur Randverstärkung des Kerns, damit dieser durch die bei Gebrauch des Snowboards auftretenden hohen Kräfte nicht beschädigt wird. Außerdem wird der Kern an seinem Umfang gegen eindringende Feuchtigkeit geschützt.Fig. 1 shows a finished snowboard. The snowboard core (1) is provided on its underside with an outsole (2), which is glued to the core (1) with the interposition of a GRP laminate. On top of the core (1) with the interposition of a GRP laminate with a cap film (3) is covered. For reinforcing the core (1), the reinforcing edge (4) is provided. The reinforcing edge (4) serves to reinforce the edge of the core, so that it is not damaged by the high forces that occur when using the snowboard. In addition, the core is protected at its periphery against moisture ingress.

In Fig.2 ist ein Snowboardkern 1 mit einer umlaufenden Vertsärkungskante 4 gezeigt. Die Verstärkungskante 4 ist in einem einzigen Verfahrenschritt an den Umfang des Kerns 1 im Spritzgießverfahren angespritzt und verbindet sich beim Spritzvorgang intensiv mit dem aus Leimholz oder anderen Materialien hergestellten Kernkörper. Die Verstärkungskante 4 ist einstückig, so dass keine zu verklebenden Stoßstellen vorhanden sind.2, a snowboard core 1 is shown with a peripheral Vertsärkungskante 4. The reinforcing edge 4 is molded in a single process step to the periphery of the core 1 by injection molding and combines during the injection process intensively with the core body made of glued wood or other materials. The reinforcing edge 4 is in one piece, so that no joints to be bonded are present.

Die Verstärkungskante 4 kann über die gesamte Dicke D des Kerns 1, der Bauhöhe des Kerns 1 folgend, angespritzt sein, wie in Fig. 3, linke Seite gezeigt. Sie kann aber auch nur auf einem Teil der Bauhöhe des Kerns 1 angespritzt sein, wie dies auf der rechten Seite von Fig. 3 gezeigt ist.The reinforcing edge 4 can be injection-molded over the entire thickness D of the core 1, following the overall height of the core 1, as shown in FIG. 3, left side. But it can also be sprayed only on a part of the overall height of the core 1, as shown on the right side of Fig. 3.

Die Verstärkungskante 4 kann auch aus mindestens zwei verschiedenen, aber zueinander affinen Kunststoffen (5, 6) bestehen, wie in Fig. 4 dargestellt. Die Kunststoffe werden im Mehrstoffspritzgießverfahren angespritzt, wobei sie sich untereinander auf grund ihrer Affinität verbinden und jeder Kunststoff mit dem Kern 1 eine innige Verbindung eingeht. Die Kunststoffe können verschiedene Eigenschaften aufweisen, so dass die Eigenschaften der Verstärkungskante 4 mit dem Kern 1 abgestimmt werden können und diese Kombination zu einer höheren Festigkeit und/ oder Flexibilität des Snowboards führt. Es ist auch möglich, die Verstärkungskante 4 entlang des Umfangs des Kerns 1 aus unterschiedlichen Kunststoffen (5, 6; 7, 8) auszuführen und anzuspritzen, wobei die Verstärkungskante 4 ihre Einstückigkeit behält, da sich die einzeln aneinandergespritzten Kunststoffe an den Stoßstellen auf grund ihrer Affinität verbinden (Fig. 4, Fig. 5). Eine weitere Ausführungsvariante ist die Vergrösserung B1 der Breite B der Verstärkungskante 4 an den Stellen am Umfang des Kerns 1, an denen beim Gebrauch des Snowboards eine hohe Krafteinleitung erfolgt (Fig. 2). Der Kern 1 besteht aus Leimholz, thermoüplastischen oder wärmehärtbaren Kunststoffen, die auch verstärkt und/ oder geschäumt sein können. Er kann auch aus Schäumen, Wabenkernen oder Kombinationen der aufgeführten Materialien bestehen.The reinforcing edge 4 can also consist of at least two different, but mutually affine plastics (5, 6), as shown in Fig. 4. The plastics are molded in the multi-injection molding process, where they connect with each other on the basis of their affinity and each plastic with the core 1 forms an intimate connection. The plastics may have different properties, so that the properties of the reinforcing edge 4 can be matched with the core 1 and this combination leads to a higher strength and / or flexibility of the snowboard. It is also possible, the reinforcing edge 4 along the circumference of the core 1 of different plastics (5, 6, 7, 8) to perform and inject, the reinforcing edge 4 keeps its integrity, since the individually juxtaposed plastics at the joints due to their Affinity connect (Fig. 4, Fig. 5). A further embodiment variant is the enlargement B1 of the width B of the reinforcing edge 4 at the points on the circumference of the core 1 at which a high introduction of force takes place when the snowboard is in use (FIG. 2). The core 1 consists of laminated wood, thermo-plastic or thermosetting plastics, which also reinforced and / or foamed could be. It can also consist of foams, honeycomb cores or combinations of the listed materials.

Die Verstärkungskante 4 kann verschiedene Querschnitte aufweisen. Sie kann konkav oder konvex gekrümmt, dreieckig, rechteckig oder in allen zur Krafteinleitung geeigneten Querschnitten geformt sein (Fig.6).The reinforcing edge 4 may have different cross sections. It can be concave or convexly curved, triangular, rectangular or shaped in all suitable for the introduction of force cross sections (Figure 6).

Fig. 7 zeigt noch einmal einen Schnitt durch ein fertiges Snowboard, bei dem die Cap-Folie 3 bis zur Stahlkante 9 heruntergezogen ist. Diese Ausführungsform wird erst durch den Kern 1 mit angespritzter Verstärkungskante 4 ermöglicht.Fig. 7 shows again a section through a finished snowboard, in which the cap sheet 3 is pulled down to the steel edge 9. This embodiment is made possible only by the core 1 with molded reinforcing edge 4.

Die Anformung im Spritzgießverfahren ermöglicht eine hohe Materialeinsparung, da Bearbeitungsabfall vermieden wird.The molding in the injection molding process allows a high material savings, since processing waste is avoided.
