Definitions

  • the invention relates to a sliding board, in particular a ski, with a running surface, an upper shell, and a core, optionally with steel edges, an upper web and a lower web, and with at least one interface element, connected to the sliding board body by means of anchoring elements, for arranging at least one binding element on the upper side of the sliding board.
  • the invention also realates to a method for the production of a sliding board, in particular a ski, with a running surface, a core, an upper shell, and at least one interface element, optionally with steel edges, an upper web and a lower web, which are built up in layers and interconnected in a mold under pressure and heat.
  • a sliding board with a profiled rail system consisting of at least one rail extending in the longitudinal direction of the sliding board, the rail being connected to the sliding board body by a dowel connection or anchoring via at least one formed-on dowel or dowel portion, is known from EP-A-1 161 972.
  • the fastening of the profiled rails is effected on the finished sliding board and consequently merely replaces the otherwise usual screw fastenings.
  • the invention provides a sliding board which does not have this disadvantage.
  • hook-like anchoring elements which are inserted into openings in the upper shell and optionally in additional sliding board components extending above the core, engage under the upper shell and the optional additional sliding board components, and are secured in the sliding board by foamed material introduced during sliding board manufacture.
  • the interface element which constitutes the connection for the binding parts to be arranged on the sliding board, is therefore integrated during manufacture of the sliding board, so that the usual fastening operations, such as screwing-on, may be dispensed with.
  • the manufacture of such a sliding board is very simple, economical and reliable and the procedure for arranging bindings—ski bindings, ski binding parts or snowboard bindings—is rationalized considerably.
  • the foamed material secures the anchoring elements against loosening from the positive connection. Only a small amount of foamed material therefore needs to be introduced.
  • the foamed material is preferably introduced in the course of the operation in which the sliding board is pressed in the mold, so that the manufacture of the sliding board may be carried out in an efficient way.
  • the holes in the upper shell and in the optional additional sliding board components may comprise a first hole part of larger diameter and a second hole part of smaller diameter
  • the anchoring elements may have a foot part and a neck part, the neck parts being adapted to fit tightly into the smaller hole parts and the foot parts all being oriented in the same direction.
  • the foamed material preferably fills at least one opening in an additional sliding board component which is arranged below the sliding board components provided with the holes.
  • the anchoring elements are to a great extent embedded in the foamed material and a durable connection of the anchoring elements to the sliding board body is ensured.
  • this opening is provided at least in the upper web of the sliding board.
  • FIG. 1 shows a top view of the upper shell of a ski made according to an embodiment of the invention
  • FIG. 2 shows a side view of an interface element on the ski
  • FIG. 3 shows a longitudinal section through the ski, taken along line III-III in FIG. 4 ;
  • FIG. 4 shows a cross section through the ski taken along line IV-IV in FIG. 3 .
  • the ski 1 shown in FIGS. 3 and 4 has an upper shell 2 , a core 3 , a running surface 4 , steel edges 10 and a lower web 11 extending between these.
  • An upper web 12 is located between the upper shell 2 and the core 3 .
  • the upper shell 2 forms the top surface and the longitudinal sides of the ski 1 .
  • the core 3 is a flexible core, which can be made of wood, of plastic, of light metal or the like. Composite constructions, honeycomb structures, other open structures, and structures with chambers are also possible.
  • the core 3 can also be a laminated core constructed with a number of prepreg layers.
  • the core is enclosed by a prepreg layer 14 .
  • the prepreg layer 14 contains fabric or scrim made of fibers, for example made of glass or aramid, embedded in a plastic material, for example epoxy resin or phenolic resin.
  • the enclosed core 3 forms what is known as the torsion box of the ski 1 .
  • the ski 1 may comprise additional layers and intermediate layers (not illustrated) made of various materials, for example rubber or metal. All the parts of the ski 1 may be prefabricated and premolded parts.
  • two guide elements 6 profiled in a rail-like configuration are provided in the embodiment shown.
  • the pair of guide elements 6 extends symmetrically in relation to the longitudinal axis of the ski 1 and is connected to the latter in the following way.
  • each guide element 6 which elements are L-shaped or hook-shaped and may have a neck part 7 a , which extends perpendicularly to the ski upper side and may be cylindrically shaped, and a foot part 7 b attached to the neck part and extending in particular horizontally, the foot parts 7 b of the anchoring elements 7 of a guide element 6 preferably pointing in the same direction.
  • the rail-like guide elements 6 which are steel or plastic profiles for example, are provided with profiled parts 6 a , which are attached laterally, in each case pointing toward the ski edges so as to allow a base-plate or other binding part to be pushed on.
  • profiled parts 6 a which are attached laterally, in each case pointing toward the ski edges so as to allow a base-plate or other binding part to be pushed on.
  • Other designs for the guide elements are of course also possible.
  • Inserting holes 5 are provided in the upper shell 2 of the ski 1 for inserting the anchoring elements 7 .
  • Each hole 5 has a hole part 5 a with a larger diameter and a hole part 5 b with a smaller diameter, which give the holes 5 a keyhole shape when seen in top view.
  • a large-area opening 12 a enclosing the holes 5 which is rectangular for example when seen in top view, is provided in the upper web 12 .
  • FIG. 1 shows the outer contour of this opening 12 a in broken lines. It can be seen from FIG. 2 that the height (dimension a) of the foot parts 7 b of the anchoring elements 7 corresponds to the thickness of the upper web 12 and the vertical dimension b of the neck parts 7 a corresponds to the thickness of the upper shell 2 .
  • the diameter of the neck parts 7 a of the anchoring elements 7 is adapted to the diameter of the hole parts 5 b of smaller diameter. It should be mentioned at this point that additional layers can be introduced into the ski construction at least locally in the region of the upper web 12 and the upper shell 2 , in order to adapt this region of the ski to the anchoring elements 7 .
  • the guide elements 6 are inserted through the holes 5 in the upper shell 2 .
  • the neck parts 7 a enter into engagement with these hole parts 5 b .
  • a positive fit of the neck parts 7 a in the hole parts 5 b of smaller diameter is produced.
  • the free spaces created behind the anchoring elements 7 in the holes 5 in the region of the hole parts 5 a with the larger diameter and the free space formed by the opening 12 a are filled with foamed material.
  • the foamed material 9 can be introduced via supply ducts (not shown) provided by the ski construction.
  • FIGS. 3 and 4 show the regions filled with foam 9 .
  • FIG. 4 also shows that the guide elements 6 are made in such a way that, resting on the upper shell 2 , they cover the holes 5 completely.
  • one-piece profiled rail elements, base-plates for any positioning and fixing devices for ski binding parts or the like, or other plates can also be provided with the anchoring elements 7 made according to the invention, and may be anchored according to the invention.
  • the invention has been described with reference to a ski.
  • the invention can of course also find application in other sliding boards, for example snowboards.
