Patent number: 7162777Abstract: Reinforcement element made of a composite material constituted of a layer of inextensible textile material and a layer of polymeric material assembled to the layer of textile material during a molding or vulcanizing step. The textile material is a woven or mesh material, and the textile material is a polyester, polyamide, polypropylene or glass fiber based material. The polymeric material can be a thermosetting material, such as rubber or silicone, or an injected thermoplastic, such as polyurethane, polyvinyl chloride, or polypropylene. Advantageously, the polymeric material is at least partially transparent. The composite material can be incorporated in a boot or a binding, such as a snowboard binding, in the form of a tightening strap. The invention also relates to a method of manufacturing such reinforcement element.Type: GrantFiled: April 29, 2005Date of Patent: January 16, 2007Assignee: Salomon S.A.Inventors: Gerald Delgorgue, David Farcot
