Patent number: 7726682Abstract: A sliding board, the outsides of which have a running surface and an upper cup, has a foam core created by foaming during its manufacture, and at least one guide element with lateral profiles for arranging and guiding of a binding element on the upper side of the sliding board. The guide element is connected to the sliding-board body by several anchoring elements. The guide element is a plastic part with formed-on anchoring elements, which plastic part is manufactured in one piece. The guide element is bound into the core by the anchoring elements during foaming of the core and is held therein by the hardened foam.Type: GrantFiled: March 9, 2005Date of Patent: June 1, 2010Assignee: Tyrolia Technology GmbHInventors: Karl Stritzl, Robert Pfaller

Patent number: 7284767Abstract: The invention relates to an arrangement for a ski binding which can be positioned on a ski, the binding including two parts: a front jaw and a heel holder which can be moved in a sliding manner in the longitudinal direction of the ski in guiding mechanisms which are fixed to the ski, and are connected by a connecting element extending in the longitudinal direction of the ski. The position of one of the parts of the ski binding can be adjusted in relation to the connecting element, and the connecting element can be fixed in relation to the ski. The mutual position of the front jaw and the heel holder can be self-adjusted and fixed on the connecting element in such a way that the front jaw and the heel holder form, together with the connecting element, a pre-assembled unit which is separate from the ski, and which can be slid along the guiding mechanisms which are fixed to the ski.Type: GrantFiled: November 21, 2002Date of Patent: October 23, 2007Assignee: Tyrolia Technology GmbHInventors: Alois Himmetsberger, Gernot Jahnel, Manfred Baumgartner, Karl Stritzl, Hubert Würthner

Patent number: 6672610Abstract: A binding in particular a step-in binding, for retaining a soft boot on a sliding device, in particular a snowboard, having retaining elements for the boot and having a calf support (8) which can be pivoted into snowboarding and step-in positions and, via a tread element (9) which is connected to it and is within reach of the boot, can be moved into the snowboarding position, in which the calf support (8) is secured against accidentally pivoting out of the snowboarding position. In the snowboarding position, with the tread element (9) subjected to loading, the calf support (8) can be supported, on binding-mounted supporting parts (20), against pivoting on its pivoting bolt (10) into the step-in position. As a result of the tread element (9) being relieved of loading, in order to eliminate the support, the calf support (8) can be displaced, in particular automatically, in relation to the bolt (10).Type: GrantFiled: January 30, 2002Date of Patent: January 6, 2004Assignee: HTM Sport- und Freizeitgeräte AktiengesellschaftInventors: Henry Freisinger, Karl Stritzl, Franz Ollinger, Hubert Würthner, Gernot Jahnel, Raimund Premauer, Helmut Brandt, Alois Himmetsberger
