Durch dieses Gleitflächenelement ist es vorteilhafterweise möglich, jeweils einzelne verschlissene Gleitsysteme durch eine punktuelle Demontage zu entfernen und durch neue unverbrauchte Gleitsysteme zu ersetzen. Weiterhin ist es durch das erfindungsgemäße Gleitflächensystem möglich, neben einer geometrisch beliebigen Anordnung der Gleitsysteme auf den Träger auch weitere Gleitsysteme anzubringen, die unterschiedliche Eigenschaften aufweisen, so dass beispielsweise bei Skisprunganlagen die im Bereich des Absprungtisches montierten Gleitsysteme sich von denen in der daran angeordneten Anlaufspur unterscheiden.It has surprisingly been found that a sliding surface element for artificial ski installations, in particular ski jumping facilities, cross-country ski tracks or gliding length comprising at least one carrier and at least one sliding surface forming sliding system is characterized in that the sliding system comprises at least one, at least one opening exhibiting, sliding member, and at least one base element which can be arranged on the support and which is arranged in the opening of the sliding element.

Diese Beschichtung kann beispielsweise aus einem weicheren Werkstoff hergestellt sein als das Fixierelement des Basiselements und führt vorteilhafterweise dazu, dass das Gleitsystem einfach in der Öffnung des Trägers anbringbar ist und das bei bestimmungsgemäßer Nutzung des Gleitflächenelements für künstliche Skianlagen Fertigungstoleranzen aber auch Belastungen durch die Nutzung ausgleichbar sind.In the case of the sliding surface element according to the invention, it has furthermore been found that at least one fixing element of the base element has a coating on its side opposite the carrier. This coating may for example be made of a softer material than the fixing of the base member and advantageously results in that the sliding system is easy to attach in the opening of the wearer and the intended use of the Gleitflächenelements for artificial ski installations manufacturing tolerances but also loads due to use compensated ,

Es hat sich ebenfalls als äußert vorteilhaft beim erfindungsgemäßen Gleitflächenelement herausgestellt, dass die Basis des Basiselements an wenigstens einer dem Gleitelement gegenüberliegenden Seite eine Beschichtung aufweist. Diese Beschichtung kann beispielsweise aus einem weicheren Werkstoff hergestellt sein als die Basis des Basiselements und führt zu einer stärken formschlüssigeren Verbindung des Basiselements im Gleitelement. Die Beschichtung ist dabei so ausgebildet, dass sie eine Dicke von etwa 0,1 mm bis etwa 7 mm, vorzugsweise von etwa 0,2 mm bis etwa 5 mm aufweist.It has also been found to be extremely advantageous in the sliding surface element according to the invention that the base of the base element has a coating on at least one side opposite the sliding element. This coating can for example be made of a softer material than the base of the base member and leads to a stronger form-fitting connection of the base member in the sliding member. The coating is designed so that it has a thickness of about 0.1 mm to about 7 mm, preferably from about 0.2 mm to about 5 mm.

Dabei hat es sich als vorteilhaft herausgestellt, dass die Beschichtung einstückig und / oder stoffschlüssig mit dem Fixierelement und / oder der Basis des Basiselements verbunden ist. Dies führt einerseits zu optimalen Herstellungskosten des erfindungsgemäßen Gleitflächenelements. Der Werkstoff der Beschichtung weist dabei eine Härte Shore A von 40 bis etwa 95 gemessen nach DIN 53505, vorzugsweise eine Härte Shore A von 50 bis 95 auf.It has proven to be advantageous that the coating is integrally and / or materially connected to the fixing element and / or the base of the base member. On the one hand, this leads to optimum manufacturing costs of the sliding surface element according to the invention. The material of the coating in this case has a hardness Shore A of 40 to about 95 measured according to DIN 53505, preferably a hardness Shore A of 50 to 95.

Dies führt einerseits zu einer kostengünstigen Herstellung des im erfindungsgemäßen Gleitflächenelements angeordneten Basiselementes und führt andererseits dazu, dass das erfindungsgemäße Gleitflächenelement für verschiedenste Beanspruchungen und verschiedenste künstliche Skianlagen konstruierbar bzw. dimensionierbar ist.A further advantage of the sliding surface element according to the invention is that the material of the coating is selected from the group of thermoplastic elastomers, for example.

Diese polymeren Werkstoffe weisen durchaus noch an sich bekannte Füll- und / oder Verstärkungsstoffe auf, die die mechanischen Eigenschaften positiv beeinflussen insbesondere Glasfaser, Glaskugeln aber auch Füllstoffe wie Kreide, Teflon und dergleichen. Die Wahl der Werkstoffe lässt eine kostengünstige Herstellung zu und ebenfalls eine unterschiedliche Dimensionierung des erfindungsgemäßen Gleitflächenelementes.These polymeric materials have well-known fillers and / or reinforcing agents, which positively affect the mechanical properties, in particular glass fiber, glass beads but also fillers such as chalk, Teflon and the like. The choice of materials allows a cost-effective production and also a different dimensioning of the sliding surface element according to the invention.

Ein weiterer Vorteil des erfindungsgemäßen Gleitflächenelementes besteht darin, dass das Gleitelement aus einem keramischen und / oder silikatischen Werkstoff und / oder Porzellan hergestellt ist. Dies führt vorteilhafterweise dazu, dass bei bestimmungsgemäßen Einsatz des Gleitflächenelements für künstliche Skianlagen optimale Bedingungen für die Nutzer diese Skianlagen über alle Jahreszeiten realisierbar sind.Another advantage of the sliding surface element according to the invention is that the sliding element is made of a ceramic and / or silicate material and / or porcelain.

Among silicate materials are glass or glass ceramics in particular, but also enamel. As porcelain hard porcelain with a composition of about 50% kaolin, 25% quartz and 25% feldspar or soft porcelain with a composition of about 25% kaolin, 45% quartz and 30% feldspar can be used.

Ebenfalls vorteilhaft bei dem erfindungsgemäßen Gleitflächenelement ist, dass das Gleitelement als Noppe, Quader, Zylinder, Pyramide, Walze, Halbkugel, Kugel und dergleichen ausgebildet ist. Hierdurch ist die Herstellung des Gleitelements selbst kostengünstig und variabel realisierbar, während das erfindungsgemäße Gleitflächenelement verschiedensten Anforderungen der künstlichen Skianlagen aber auch gesetzlicher Bestimmungen problemlos genügen kann.Also advantageous in the sliding surface element according to the invention is that the sliding element is designed as a knob, cuboid, cylinder, pyramid, roller, hemisphere, ball and the like. As a result, the production of the sliding element itself is inexpensive and variably feasible, while the sliding surface according to the invention can meet a variety of requirements of artificial ski facilities but also legal provisions easily.

Das erfindungsgemäße Gleitflächenelement ist weiterhin so aufgebaut, dass das Gleitsystem über wenigstens ein Fixierelement des Basiselements form- und / oder kraftschlüssig an einer ersten Öffnung des Trägers angeordnet ist. Dies lässt eine kostengünstige und wirtschaftliche Herstellung des erfindungsgemäßen Gleitflächenelements zu, wobei auch die Demontage einzelner Gleitsysteme aus dem Träger einfach und wirtschaftlich möglich ist.The sliding surface element according to the invention is further constructed so that the sliding system is arranged on at least one fixing element of the base member positive and / or non-positively connected to a first opening of the carrier. This allows a cost-effective and economical production of the Gleitflächenelements invention, wherein the disassembly of individual sliding systems from the carrier is simple and economical.

Dabei hat es sich weiterhin als vorteilhaft herausgestellt, dass der Träger im Bereich der ersten Öffnung eine geringere Wandstärke aufweist als im restlichen Bereich, was einerseits die Materialkosten reduziert und andererseits für eine exakte Fixierung des Gleitsystems im Träger erforderlich ist.It has also proven to be advantageous that the support in the region of the first opening has a smaller wall thickness than in the remaining area, which on the one hand reduces the material costs and on the other hand is required for an exact fixation of the sliding system in the carrier.

Weiterhin vor Vorteil bei dem erfindungsgemäßen Gleitflächenelement ist, dass gegenüber der ersten Öffnung des Trägers eine zweite Öffnung angeordnet ist. Diese führt ebenfalls zu reduzierten Material- und damit Herstellungskosten. Die zweite Öffnung kann dabei vorteilhafterweise axial gegenüberliegend der ersten Öffnung angeordnet sein, so dass die Montage des Gleitsystems beim erfindungsgemäßen Gleitflächenelement leicht realisierbar ist.Furthermore, it is advantageous with the sliding surface element according to the invention that a second opening is arranged opposite the first opening of the carrier. This also leads to reduced material and thus production costs.

Dabei ist das erfindungsgemäße Gleitflächenelement weiterhin so ausgebildet, dass die erste Öffnung und / oder die zweite Öffnung des Trägers im Querschnitt kreisförmig, prismatisch, sternförmig und dergleichen ausgebildet ist. Dies führt zu reduzierten Herstellungskosten einerseits und zu einer optimalen Fixierung der Gleitsysteme beim erfindungsgemäßen Gleitflächenelement andererseits.In this case, the sliding surface element according to the invention is further designed so that the first opening and / or the second opening of the carrier in cross-section is circular, prismatic, star-shaped and the like. This leads to reduced production costs on the one hand and to an optimal fixation of the sliding systems in the sliding surface element according to the invention on the other hand.

Ebenfalls vorteilhaft für das erfindungsgemäße Gleitflächenelement wurde festgestellt, dass das Gleitelement an seiner der Basis gegenüberliegende Oberfläche konkav und / oder konvex ausgebildet sein kann. Hierdurch sind insbesondere die Gleiteigenschaften des Gleitflächenelementes optimal und variabel ausbildbar.

Durch die Wahl der Geometrie und / oder der Werkstoffe der im Gleitsystem angeordneten Gleitelemente und / oder Basiselement ist es somit möglich, durch beispielsweise hochschleißfest Gleitelemente aus Porzellan kombiniert mit der einfachen und sicheren Fixierung von Basiselementen aus polymeren Materialien das erfindungsgemäße Gleitflächenelement für sehr lange Standzeiten von künstlichen Skianlagen optimal auszulegen.By choosing the geometry and / or the materials of the sliding system arranged in the sliding elements and / or base element, it is thus possible, for example by highly wear-resistant sliding elements made of porcelain combined with the simple and secure fixation of basic elements of polymeric materials Gleitflächenelement invention for very long lives to optimally design artificial ski facilities.

Es ist jedoch auch möglich, einzelne Abschnitte der beispielsweise künstlichen Skianlagen mit unterschiedlichen Gleitsystemen auszustatten sowie Gleitflächenelemente zur Verfügung zu stellen, die ein komfortables Gleiten bei deren bestimmungsgemäßer Nutzung ermöglichen und die auch zu einer Geräuschreduzierung bei deren bestimmungsgemäßer Verwendung beitragen.However, it is also possible to equip individual sections of, for example, artificial ski facilities with different sliding systems and provide Gleitflächenelemente available that allow comfortable gliding in their intended use and also contribute to a noise reduction in the intended use.

Der Träger 10 des Gleitflächenelementes 1 ist in diesem Ausführungsbeispiel aus einem polymeren Werkstoff herstellt und weist in seiner Oberfläche verschiedene voneinander beabstandet angeordnete Öffnungen 11 auf. Die unterschiedlich dimensionierten Öffnungen 11 des Trägers 10 dienen dazu, unterschiedlich dimensionierte bzw. aus unterschiedlichen Werkstoffen hergestellte Gleitsysteme 3 aufzunehmen.The carrier 10 of the Gleitflächenelementes 1 is made in this embodiment of a polymeric material and has in its surface various spaced-apart openings 11. The differently dimensioned openings 11 of the carrier 10 are used to accommodate different sized or made of different materials sliding systems 3.

Durch die Geometrie, aber auch durch die Anordnung der unterschiedlichen Öffnungen 11 im Träger 10 des Gleitflächenelementes 1 ist es somit möglich, ein Gleitflächenelement 1 zur Verfügung zu stellen, welches wirtschaftlich und kostengünstig herstellbar bzw. montierbar ist, dessen Verwendung den Verschleiß sowohl der Gleitsysteme 3 als auch der Ski reduziert und das den entsprechend geforderten Nutzungsbedingungen schnell und einfach anpassbar ist.Due to the geometry, but also by the arrangement of the different openings 11 in the carrier 10 of the sliding surface element 1, it is thus possible, a sliding surface element. 1 to make available, which is economical and inexpensive to produce or assemble, the use of which reduces the wear of both the sliding systems 3 and the ski and which is quickly and easily customizable according to the required conditions of use.

Der Träger 10 des Gleitflächenelementes 1 ist in diesem Ausführungsbeispiel in seiner Außenkontur etwa rechteckig ausgebildet. Es liegt jedoch auch im Rahmen der Erfindung, dass der Träger 10 des Gleitflächenelementes 1 prismatisch, quadratisch und dergleichen ausgebildet sein kann.

However, it is also within the scope of the invention that the carrier 10 of the sliding surface element 1 prismatic, square and the like may be formed.
It is also within the scope of the invention that the carrier 10 of the sliding surface element 1 is made of metallic and / or polymeric and / or ceramic and / or silicate material.

Die Öffnungen 11 des Trägers 10 können dabei im eigentlichen Herstellungsverfahren, beispielsweise im an sich bekannten Spritzgießverfahren, eingebracht werden, es liegt jedoch auch im Rahmen der Erfindung, dass die Öffnungen 11 des Trägers 10 erst nachträglich bzw. auch erst kurz vor der Montage auf den künstlichen Skianlagen einbringbar sind.The openings 11 of the carrier 10 can be introduced in the actual manufacturing process, for example in the known injection molding, but it is also within the scope of the invention that the openings 11 of the carrier 10 only later or just before mounting on the artificial ski facilities are recoverable.

In der Fig. 2 ist eine teilweise geschnittene Seitenansicht eines Gleitflächenelements 1 mit einem Gleitsystem 3 dargestellt.
Das Gleitsystem 3 umfasst in diesem Ausführungsbeispiel ein Gleitelement 5 sowie ein an diesem angeordnetes Basiselement 4.

Das Gleitelement 5 weist an seiner der Gleitfläche 2 gegenüberliegenden Seite eine Öffnung 52 auf, in die eine Hinterschneidung 53 eingebracht ist. In der Öffnung 52 des Gleitelements 5 ist das Basiselement 4 angeordnet, welches in diesem Ausführungsbeispiel formschlüssig über den Steg 42 der Basis 40 in der Hinterschneidung 53 der Öffnung 52 des Gleitelements 5 fixiert ist.
Das Basiselement 4 ist in diesem Ausführungsbeispiel so ausgebildet, dass es eine Basis 40 sowie zwei von dieser Basis wegragende Fixierelemente 43 aufweist.
Die Basis 40 des Basiselements 4 ist in diesem Ausführungsbeispiel über an sich bekannte Klebstoffe stoffschlüssig in der Öffnung 52 des Gleitelements 5 fixiert.
Das Gleitsystem 3 ist am Träger 10 so angeordnet, dass das Gleitelement 5 auf der Oberfläche des Trägers 10 aufliegt und die von der Basis 40 des Basiselements 4 wegragenden Fixierelemente 43 an der reduzierten Wanddicke des Trägers 10 hinter der ersten Öffnung 11 kraftschlüssig angeordnet sind.In the Fig. 2 is a partially sectioned side view of a Gleitflächenelements 1 shown with a sliding system 3.
In this exemplary embodiment, the sliding system 3 comprises a sliding element 5 and a base element 4 arranged thereon.
The sliding element 5 is circular in cross-section in this embodiment and has a concave surface which forms the sliding surface 2.

Das Gleitsystem 3 ist somit optimal am Träger 10 des erfindungsgemäßen Gleitflächenelementes 1 montierbar aber auch demontierbar angeordnet.
Sollte bei bestimmungsgemäßer Nutzung des bestimmungsgemäßen Gleitflächenelements 1 die Gleitfläche 2 nicht mehr optimal sein bzw. das Gleitelement 5 verschlissen sein, kann dies durch einfache mechanische Mittel aus den Öffnungen 11, 12 des Trägers 10 entfernt und durch neue Gleitsysteme 3 ersetzt werden.The carrier 10 has in this embodiment axially opposite the first opening 11, a second opening 12, which is also seen in cross-section also circular, but with a larger diameter than the first opening eleventh
The sliding system 3 is thus optimally mounted on the carrier 10 of the sliding surface element 1 according to the invention but also arranged removable.
Should the sliding surface 2 no longer be optimal or the sliding element 5 worn out during proper use of the intended sliding surface element 1, this can be removed by simple mechanical means from the openings 11, 12 of the carrier 10 and replaced by new sliding systems 3.

In der Fig. 3 ist eine teilweise geschnittene Seitenansicht eines weiteren erfindungsgemäßen Gleitflächenelementes 1 mit Gleitsystem 3 dargestellt.
Das Gleitsystem 3 weist ein, eine Öffnung 52 aufweisendes Gleitelement 5 auf, sowie wenigstens ein am Träger 10 anordenbares Basiselement 4, welches in der Öffnung 52 des Gleitelements 5 angeordnet ist.
Das Gleitelement 5 ist in diesem Ausführungsbeispiel über ein Stanzelement 6 beabstandet zum Träger 10 angeordnet. Dieses Distanzelement 6 aus einem beispielsweise schwingungsaufnehmenden weichen Material führt zu einer besseren Belastbarkeit des Gleitflächenelementes 1 und auch zu einer Geräuschreduzierung bei der bestimmungsgemäßen Nutzung des Gleitflächenelements 1 für künstliche Skianlagen.In the Fig. 3 is a partially sectioned side view of another sliding surface element 1 according to the invention with sliding system 3 is shown.
The sliding system 3 has a sliding element 5, which has an opening 52, and at least one base element 4 which can be arranged on the carrier 10 and which is arranged in the opening 52 of the sliding element 5.
The sliding element 5 is arranged in this embodiment via a punching element 6 spaced from the carrier 10. This spacer element 6 made of, for example, a vibration-absorbing soft material leads to a better load capacity of the sliding surface element 1 and also to a noise reduction in the intended use of Gleitflächenelements 1 for artificial ski facilities.

Das Gleitelement 5 weist in diesem Ausführungsbeispiel eine konvexe (?) Gleitfläche 2 auf, die im Querschnitt gesehen etwa halbkreisförmig ausgebildet ist.
An der der Gleitfläche 2 gegenüberliegenden Seite des Gleitelements 5 ist eine Öffnung 52 angeordnet, in der ein Basiselement 4 fixiert ist.

Die Fixierelemente 43 des Basiselements 4 weisen an ihrer dem Träger 10 gegenüberliegenden Seite eine Beschichtung 7 auf.
Weiterhin weist die Basis 40 des Basiselements 4 an ihrer dem Gleitelement 5 gegenüberliegenden Seite ebenfalls eine Beschichtung 7 auf.In this exemplary embodiment, the sliding element 5 has a convex (?) Sliding surface 2, which, viewed in cross-section, is approximately semicircular.

The base element 4 has a base 40 and three fixing elements 43 protruding from the base 40. At the base 40 of the base member, a web 42 is arranged.
The fixing elements 43 of the base element 4 have a coating 7 on their side facing the carrier 10.
Furthermore, the base 40 of the base element 4 also has a coating 7 on its side opposite the sliding element 5.

Die Basis 40 und die Fixierelemente 43 des Basiselements 4 sind aus einem polymeren Werkstoff hergestellt wie beispielsweise ABS, während die Beschichtung 7 ebenfalls aus einem polymeren Werkstoff hergestellt ist, ausgewählt aus der Gruppe der thermoplastischen Elastomere und in diesem Ausführungsbeispiel aus einem thermoplastischen Polyurethan.
Die Beschichtung 7 wird im an sich bekannten Spritzgießverfahren zusammen mit dem Fixierelement 43 und der Basis 40 in einem Arbeitsgang hergestellt und führt somit zu optimalen Herstellungsbedingungen für das Basiselement 4.The base 40 and the fixing elements 43 of the base element 4 are made of a polymeric material such as ABS, while the coating 7 is also made of a polymeric material selected from the group of thermoplastic elastomers and in this embodiment of a thermoplastic polyurethane.
The coating 7 is produced in a per se known injection molding together with the fixing element 43 and the base 40 in one operation and thus leads to optimal production conditions for the base member 4th

Das Basiselement 4 ist über den Steg 42 der Basis 40 in einer Hinterschneidung 53 der Öffnung 52 des Gleitelements 5 stoffschlüssig angeordnet.
Durch die an der Basis 40 und den Fixierelementen 43 des Basiselements 4 angeordneten Beschichtung 7 ist es somit bei bestimmungsgemäßer Nutzung des Gleitflächenelementes 1 für künstliche Skianlagen möglich bestimmte Schwingungen auszugleichen und zu einer Geräuschreduzierung zu führen.

By means of the coating 7 arranged on the base 40 and the fixing elements 43 of the base element 4, it is thus possible, when the sliding surface element 1 is used properly for artificial ski installations, to compensate for certain vibrations and to lead to a noise reduction.
Another advantage is that even production-related tolerances, in particular the first opening 11 of the carrier 10 but also of the sliding member 5 are advantageously compensated by the flexible coating 7.
