  • Patent number: 7726682
    Abstract: 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.

  • Patent number: 7537236
    Abstract: The invention relates to a sliding board, especially a ski, comprising a treadsole, an upper surface, a lower rib and a core, and at least one element which comprises especially at least one rail-type guiding element, is connected to the body of the sliding board by means of at least one anchoring element, and is used to arrange and guide at least one binding element on the upper side of the sliding board. In order to avoid subsequently fixing guiding elements to the finished ski, the at least one anchoring element (9, 9?, 9?, 19) is integrated into the core (5, 5?) during the expansion thereof and is held by the hardened foam material.

  • Patent number: 7520525
    Abstract: A sliding board, in particular a ski, includes a running surface, steel edges, an upper cup, a premanufactured core and at least one interface element connected to the sliding-board body by anchoring elements, for the arrangement of at least one binding element on the upper side of the sliding board. The anchoring elements have a head section held on the interface element or connected to the interface element, and have a shaft extending through an opening in the upper cup into the inside of the sliding board. In order to reduce installation operations on the finished sliding board, the interface element has been connected to the core during the building of the sliding board by at least one of the anchoring elements.

  • Publication number: 20070069503
    Abstract: The invention relates to a sliding board, in particular to a ski comprising a sliding surface, a top shell, a core, steel edges and at least one interface element connected to the board body by means of an anchoring element for arranging at least one fixing element on the top surface of the sliding board. Said anchoring elements (8) are inserted, during the production of a sliding board, into fixing holes (10, 10?) of the core (2) and are maintained therein by a material (11) hardening during the skis pressing.

  • Publication number: 20050206129
    Abstract: The invention relates to a sliding board, in particular a ski, the outsides of which have a running surface (2) and an upper cup (5), and which has a foam core (6) created by foaming during its manufacture and at least one guide element (8, 8?, 8?) with lateral profiles (9) for arranging and guiding of a binding element on the upper side of the sliding board, which guide element is connected to the sliding-board body by means of several anchoring elements (7, 7?, 7?). The guide element (8, 8?, 8?) is a plastic part with formed-on anchoring elements (7, 7?, 7?), which plastic part is manufactured in one piece, and by means of which anchoring elements the guide element (8, 8?, 8?) is bound during foaming of the core (6) into same and is held by the hardened foam.

  • Publication number: 20050179234
    Abstract: The invention relates to a sliding board, in particular a ski, comprising a running surface, steel edges, an upper cup, a premanufactured core and comprising at least one interface element, for example a rail-like profiled guide element, connected to the sliding-board body by means of anchoring elements, for the arrangement of at least one binding element on the upper side of the sliding board, whereby the anchoring elements have a head section held on the interface element or are connected to the interface element, and have a shaft extending through an opening in the upper cup into the inside of the sliding board. In order to reduce installation operations on the finished sliding board, the interface element has been connected positively and/or frictionally and/or in another mechanical manner to the core during the building of the sliding board by means of at least one of the anchoring elements.
