Definitions

  • the present invention concerns a method for treating a base for sliding apparatuses, for example skis or suchlike, used in winter sports for sliding on snow-covered ground or suchlike, including ground prepared with artificial snow and similar materials, which have high sliding properties.
  • the present invention also concerns a base for a sliding apparatus and the sliding apparatus itself, used in particular for winter sports.
  • sliding apparatus we mean, hereafter in the description, each of the skis used for sliding or gliding on snow-covered ground or suchlike.
  • the multi-layer structure that the sliding structure is made of is similar in most types of modern sliding apparatuses present on the market.
  • the individual layers can be made with different geometries and materials or a different composition of materials, in order to obtain the desired characteristics, for example in terms of flexibility and manageability of the apparatus.
  • the techniques for assembling and producing normal sliding apparatuses are also consolidated and used by most producers.
  • the sliding properties of the sliding apparatus are a fundamental feature for performance, both in competitive sport and also in terms of the manageability and usability of the apparatus.

  • the invention also concerns a sliding base comprising at least a sliding surface.
  • a plurality of craters are made in the sliding surface with a controlled depth and diameter and a plurality of ridges distributed in zones of the sliding surface of the base inside the craters and/or in zones situated between one crater and the other.
  • the base is made by at least one layer of metal material or metal alloys.
  • the base can have a thickness variable between about 0.2 mm and about 0.8 mm.
  • the invention also concerns a sliding apparatus comprising a plurality of overlapping layers and at least one base provided with at least one sliding surface.
  • the sliding surface comprises a plurality of craters with a controlled depth and diameter and a plurality of ridges distributed in zones of the sliding surface of the base inside the craters and/or in zones situated between one crater and the other.
  • the sliding apparatus comprises edges made in a single piece with the base.
  • a sliding apparatus 10 comprises a structure in which can be distinguished, starting from the bottom, a series of overlapping layers of the desired thickness, that is to say: a sliding base 11; a layer 12 of glass fiber or carbon fiber located above the base 11 and made for example of cross-laminated glass; a layer 13 of glass fiber or carbon fiber located above layer 12, for example a layer of cross-laminated glass; a layer 14 with anti-vibration functions, made for example of rubber or suchlike; a central core 15, made for example of multi-layer wood; a layer 16 of glass fiber or carbon fiber, located above the central core 15 and made for example of unidirectional laminate; a layer 17 of glass fiber or carbon fiber located above layer 16 and made for example of cross-laminated glass; another layer 18 with anti-vibration functions, made of rubber or suchlike for example; and an upper layer 19, preferably made of plastic material, for example with a base of thermoplastic polymers.
  • a sidewall 20 is also positioned, made for example of thermoplastic material, such as acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS) or suchlike.
  • ABS acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene
  • the base 11 of the sliding apparatus 10 which comprises a sliding surface 21 preferably made of metal material, integrates in a single piece the edges normally provided in any sliding apparatus and is produced starting from a strip with a thickness comprised between 0.2 and 0.8 mm for example, which therefore represents the thickness of the base 11.
  • materials for the basic strip from which the base 11 is obtained with standard cutting methods it is possible to use different types of metal materials, for example a first alloy with the commercial name of Titanal®, which is substantially an aluminum alloy, or stainless steel INOX AISI 301, which gives a better mechanical performance, or other metal materials, also combined with each other.
  • a first alloy with the commercial name of Titanal® which is substantially an aluminum alloy
  • stainless steel INOX AISI 301 which gives a better mechanical performance
  • other metal materials also combined with each other.
  • the strip is cut and shaped using a method similar to that used for conventional bases made of polymer such as UHMWPE (Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene), then integrated into the sliding apparatus 10 using operations such as for example hot gluing and pressing.
  • UHMWPE Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene
  • a hierarchical structuring is prepared, which provides for example a nano and microscopic control of the surface of the base 11.
  • the hierarchical structuring step is preferably divided into two working steps.
  • a cutting process is made on the sliding surface 21, for example with a pulsed laser (Laser Surface Texturing, LST), using a known machine and suitable for the purpose, for example equipped with a nanosecond laser, which currently represents a good compromise between efficiency and total working costs.
  • LST Pulser Surface Texturing
  • another type of laser could also be used, for example a femtosecond ultrafast laser.
  • the craters 22 obtained at the end of the first cutting step could be made using different techniques, for example by rollers provided with suitably sized indentations.
  • Each of the craters 22 will have a predetermined and controlled depth P and diameter D, so as to optimize the sliding performance and durability of the base 11 and hence of the sliding apparatus 10 in its entirety.
  • a depth P of the craters 22 which confers particular characteristics of slidability and efficiency on the base 11 applicable to the sliding apparatus 10 varies from about 0.5 ⁇ m to about 50 ⁇ m.
  • a diameter D of the craters 22 which confers particular characteristics of slidability and efficiency on the base 11 applicable to the sliding apparatus 10 varies from about 5 ⁇ m and about 100 ⁇ m and is preferably less than 50 ⁇ m.
  • these values of the depth P and diameter D of the craters 22 can be modified according to the technical characteristics and the type of sliding apparatus 10 to be obtained, depending for example whether it is used for Alpine skiing, cross country or other disciplines. Moreover, the parameters must also take into account the conditions of morphological variability of the snow cover.
  • the sliding surface 21 is covered by craters 22 disposed preferably in an orderly manner and a regular pattern 23, so as to guarantee a uniform treatment of the sliding surface 21 of the base 11.
  • the craters 22 distributed in a regular pattern 23 are shown only in a circled zone of the sliding surface 21 of the base 11; however, preferably, the regular pattern 23 of craters 22 will be made uniformly over the whole sliding surface 21 of the base 11.
  • the first laser working step it may be provided to smooth the base 11, to remove the flashes associated with the first working step.
  • the second step of finishing and structuring is begun, substantially comprising a nanostructuring of the sliding surface 21.
  • the operation to nanostructure the sliding surface 21 preferably takes place both in zones of the sliding surface 21 comprised inside the craters 22, and also in zones of the sliding surface 21 outside the craters 22, that is, defined between one crater and the other.
  • the purpose of this process is substantially to make a series of ridges 24, preferably of nanometric size, which are disposed inside and around each crater 22, uniformly, as shown schematically in fig. 4 and as shown by the image in fig. 6 .
  • the finishing and nanostructuring operation can be performed by an ionic erosion process, where the target consists of the base 11 and in particular its sliding surface 21.
  • the target is inserted in an environment where a vacuum has been created and it is subjected to a bombardment of ions, for example argon ions, so that the surface atoms of the material it consists of, in this case the sliding surface 21, are expelled.
  • ions for example argon ions
  • the ionic erosion process can be performed by passive devices able to generate magnetic fields, by means of radiofrequency, or by maintaining a continuous current inside the vacuum environment where the target is positioned, hence the base 11 with its sliding surface 21.
  • radiofrequency in the case of radiofrequency ionic erosion, the values of radiofrequency can be 13.56 MHz, as per international standards.
  • the pressure of the atmosphere inside the environment where the target is positioned, i.e. the sliding surface 21 of the base 11, is controlled in the range of tens of Pa, if necessary, starting from a reference vacuum in the range of 10 -4 Pa.
  • the ionic erosion power varies according to the metal or metal alloy that the base 11 is made of, and can vary for example between 50 W and 125 W.
  • the nanostructuring process through ionic erosion can be carried out in a plurality of different steps, separated by pauses. Indeed it has been found that dividing the ionic erosion process into different steps allows to obtain a better nanostructuring of the sliding surface 21.
  • each of them can have a predetermined duration of about 10 minutes.
  • the intervals between one ionic erosion step and the next can also have a duration of about 10 minutes.
  • a base 11 is obtained which is preferably treated with the operations as described above over the whole width of the sliding surface 21.
  • the sliding apparatus 10 on which the base 11 will be mounted will have the edges made in a single piece, that is, integrated with the base 11.
