Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an improvement of a sliding mat used to form a runway for an artificial ski resort.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, various sliding mats for artificial ski resorts have been proposed. One of the sliding mats consists of a sheet of artificial grass mats, but such artificial grass mats slip off from the mat when snow falls in the winter and the natural snow mat part and the artificial mat part separate. It was mottled and dangerous to run, and it was difficult to repair a partially damaged runway section.

Other sliding mats are Jikkou Sho 51-5173.
No. 6 publication, the sliding mat is shown in FIGS.
As shown in FIG. 0, a plurality of frames 36 and 36 ′ having spaces 32 and 32 ′ inside and a large number of flexible small columnar projections 34 and 34 ′ on the upper surface are integrally combined and formed. It is made of plastic sliding material 38.

[0004]

However, this prior art skiing mat for an artificial ski resort has frames 36, 36 '.
Since there is a space (gap) 32, 32 'inside, there is a risk that a finger or the like may be caught in the gap 32, 32' when the skier falls, which is dangerous, and there is a drawback that the installation is troublesome. For this reason, this running mat could not be used for the landing part of a jumping place or the runway on which beginners and children slide.

In addition, since the sliding mat of this prior art cannot increase the area of the mat, it has a drawback that it takes a lot of time to assemble, the workability is poor, and the equipment cost of the artificial ski resort is expensive.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is an object of the present invention to provide a skiing mat for an artificial ski slope which avoids the above-mentioned drawbacks, has no gap for catching a skier's finger, and is easy to assemble and construct.

[0007]

One of the means for solving the problems of the present invention is a mat main body formed by combining a plurality of plastic pipes in a blind shape, and the plastic pipes have irregularities on the surface. The purpose of the present invention is to provide a sliding mat for a characteristic artificial ski resort.

Another means of solving the problem of the present invention is the above-mentioned sliding mat for artificial ski resort, in which the unevenness of the surface of the plastic pipe is a plurality of ring-shaped members formed at intervals in the longitudinal direction of the plastic pipe. An object of the present invention is to provide a skiing mat for artificial skis, which is formed by a protrusion and a recess between adjacent protrusions.

Still another means for solving the problems of the present invention is the above-mentioned ski mat for artificial ski resort, wherein the mat body has both end edges which are curved upward and is substantially U when viewed from the gliding direction.
An object is to provide a ski-shaped sliding mat for an artificial ski resort.

[0010]

[Function] When the sliding mat is formed by combining a plurality of plastic pipes in the shape of a blind in this way, since there is no gap in the mat, even if the skier falls, the fingers are not caught and it is safe. Since it can be formed in a relatively large area, it can be laid easily. If both ends of the mat body are curved upward, the skier can slide safely without jumping out of the sliding mat.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Referring to the drawings, an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2 which show a skiing mat 10 for an artificial ski resort according to the present invention.
Is composed of a mat main body 14 formed by combining a plurality of plastic pipes 12 in a blind shape, and these plastic pipes 12 have irregularities 16 on the surface. The plastic pipe 12 is preferably made of polyethylene, which has excellent elasticity, impact resistance and abrasion resistance, and is slippery.

The plastic pipe 12 is shown in FIGS.
4 has a circular cross section, but as shown in FIG.
The inner peripheral surface may have cross-shaped thin reinforcing ribs 18 which are continuous in the longitudinal direction or are spaced apart in the longitudinal direction, and as shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, other than circular cross-sections. It may have a semi-cylindrical cross section, a triangular cross section, or any other cross section.

In the illustrated embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 3, elastic rubber or plastic spacers 20 are sandwiched between a plurality of plastic pipes 12 at intervals in the longitudinal direction. Further, these plastic pipes 12 are combined like a blind by a connecting member 22 such as a wire. The connecting member 22 is used to fix the sliding mat 10 by fixing it to a pile driven into the ground when the mat is later laid on an artificial ski resort. The diameter of the plastic pipe 12 and the interval between adjacent plastic pipes can be appropriately set according to the purpose of use. Particularly, in a place where there is a lot of snow, it is preferable to increase the interval between the plastic pipes 12 so that the snow that has accumulated does not slide off.

Unevenness 16 on the surface of the plastic pipe 12
As shown in FIG. 1, a plurality of ring-shaped projections 24 are formed at intervals in the longitudinal direction of the plastic pipe 12.
And the depression 26 between the adjacent protrusions 24, the unevenness 16 can be formed in any other suitable form.

Since the sliding mat 10 of the present invention is in the shape of a blind, it can be rolled and transported at the laying site, but at the laying site, the blind can be spread and laid. This runway mat is used to lay on a sloped mountainous area to form a runway for a normal artificial ski area, but outside that, it is installed as a lifter road instead of a lifter on the landing road of the jumping field or the runway side. You may. The lifter track is used by skiers to climb up the lifter track by being held by an endless belt which is installed beside it and which is constantly driven.

FIG. 7 shows another embodiment of the present invention. In this embodiment, the mat body 14 is formed in a substantially U-shape when viewed from the sliding direction, with its both end edges curved upward. . The mat body 14 is composed of a relatively long plastic pipe 12 and can be formed by processing so that both ends of each plastic pipe 12 are bent upward. The sliding mat 10 is preferable because it prevents the skier from jumping out of the sliding mat during running.

[0017]

According to the present invention, as described above, since the sliding mat is formed by combining a plurality of plastic pipes in a blind shape, there is no gap on the surface of the sliding mat.
Even if the skier falls, the fingers are not caught and it is safe.In addition, since the sliding mat is made of plastic pipe, elasticity is imparted to the sliding surface and it is comfortable to slide, and it can be formed in a relatively large area. It can be installed easily. In addition, when the sliding mat is bent upward at both edges, the skier does not jump out of the mat during the sliding, so that even a beginner can safely slide.
