Description

[0001] The invention relates to a snow gliding device for gliding on snow, comprising a board-like or -shaped base body defining a longitudinal axis with a top and a bottom surface, wherein the base body has a sliding surface on the bottom surface for gliding on snow.

[0002] Such snow gliding devices, in various forms such as snowboards, skis, or snow skates, are fundamentally known from the prior art and have been continuously developed to offer users the best possible riding characteristics. Improving the riding characteristics of these snow gliding devices, in turn, forms the basis for performing simple and / or challenging maneuvers, depending on the user's skill level, such as turns, jumps, grinds, etc.

[0003] Although various snow gliding devices exist that generally meet the requirements of both inexperienced and experienced users, further improved driving characteristics are desired in order to further enhance the driving experience for both inexperienced and experienced users, for example with regard to the execution of certain driving maneuvers.

[0004] Based on this, the present invention aims to provide an improved snow gliding device for gliding on snow.

[0005] The problem is solved by a snow sliding device according to independent claim 1, the dependent claims relating to possible embodiments of the snow sliding device according to independent claim 1.

[0006] A first aspect of the invention relates to a snow gliding device for gliding on snow. The snow gliding device is thus fundamentally designed as a device that enables a user, at least with sufficient practice, to glide in a controlled manner on snow. When used as intended, the user typically stands with at least one leg on the snow gliding device; for this purpose, the snow gliding device can, as explained in more detail below, have at least one attachment interface for a binding, which is configured to attach a shoe, i.e., a snowboard boot or a ski boot, to the snow gliding device.

[0007] Specific embodiments of the snow gliding device described herein are a snowboard, a ski or a snow skate; the snow gliding device described herein can therefore be designed, for example, as a snowboard, a ski or a snow skate.

[0008] The snow gliding device comprises a board-like or board-shaped base body with a top and a bottom surface, defining a longitudinal axis or direction and a transverse axis or direction. The base body can also be referred to as a baseboard. The base body can have a core or core structure made of a single- or multi-layered, optionally sandwich-like, core material or core material structure; a corresponding core material can be, for example, wood, plastic, metal, or a composite material such as a fiber-reinforced composite. A corresponding core material structure can be, for example, a material structure comprising wood, plastic, metal, or a composite material such as a fiber-reinforced composite.

[0009] On the underside of the base body, at least partially, and in particular completely, a sliding surface or a driving surface, sometimes also referred to as a "base," is arranged or formed for sliding on snow. The underside of the base body is thus provided, at least partially, and in particular completely, with a sliding surface or driving surface for sliding on snow. Such a sliding surface or driving surface can be made of, for example, graphite, plastic, in particular a polyethylene-based plastic, or metal, or comprise at least one of the aforementioned materials.

[0010] At least one structural body is arranged on the upper surface of the base body. This at least one structural body has at least one first spring region exhibiting elastic-spring properties, which is formed by at least one first bulge (longitudinal curvature) extending in the longitudinal direction of the base body. The snow gliding device thus has a configuration with a corresponding base body on the upper surface of which at least one separate structural body is arranged, which is formed by at least one first spring region exhibiting elastic-spring properties or has a first spring region formed by at least one first bulge extending in the longitudinal direction of the base body. The configuration of the snow gliding device therefore provides that on the base body, i.e.,on the upper side of the base body, at least one structural body is arranged, which has at least one elastic-springing first spring area having elastic-springing properties and thus becoming elastically springy under corresponding load or force application, which is formed by at least one first curvature extending in the longitudinal direction of the base body.

[0011] The at least one structural body, i.e., in particular the at least one first spring area, can also be referred to or considered as the first spring body due to its elastic-springing properties.

[0012] The at least one first curvature is typically a convex curvature; the at least one structural body therefore has, at least due to the first spring area formed by the at least one first curvature, a surface that is curved outwards, particularly with respect to the upper side of the base body; the snow gliding device is thus, at least as far as maximum height extension is concerned, higher than conventional snow gliding devices.

[0013] The at least one structural body can, in principle, be formed from the same material or material structure as the basic body, i.e., in particular, from the core or core structure of the basic body, and thus differ from the basic body, in particular, by its geometric configuration, i.e., in particular, by the at least one first bulge. Alternatively, the at least one structural body can be formed from a different material or material structure than the basic body, i.e., in particular, from the core or core structure of the basic body, and thus differ from the basic body not only by its geometric configuration, i.e., in particular, by the at least one first bulge, but also by its "materiality".

[0014] Advantageously, the at least one structural body, i.e., in particular the at least one first spring region, is formed by an elastically resilient material or by an elastically resilient material structure, in particular a multi-layered elastically resilient material structure. Specifically, the at least one structural body, i.e., in particular the at least one first spring region, can be formed, for example, from wood, plastic, metal, or a composite material such as a fiber-reinforced composite material; a design comprising a single- or multi-layered material structure made of wood, plastic, metal, or a composite material such as a fiber-reinforced composite material is also conceivable.

[0015] The at least one first curvature forming the at least one first spring section of the at least one structural body is characterized in particular by a radius extending in the longitudinal direction of the base body, and especially by a radius not present in the base body, such that the at least one structural body differs fundamentally from the base body, particularly by its radius. The radius can, for example, lie in a range between 1750 mm and 1950 mm, and in particular in a range between 1800 mm and 1900 mm. Tests have shown that for women's versions, a radius in the range between 1825 mm and 1875 mm, and in particular approximately 1855 mm, can be advantageous, and for men's versions, a radius in the range between 1875 mm and 1915 mm, and in particular approximately 1895 mm, can be advantageous.

[0016] The at least one structural body can, in principle, be designed, for example, as a rib or web. Specifically, the at least one structural body can be formed, for example, by at least one single- or multi-layered board having a corresponding first curvature extending in the longitudinal direction of the base body and thus a corresponding first spring area, or by at least one single- or multi-layered plate having a corresponding first curvature extending in the longitudinal direction of the base body and thus a corresponding first spring area. The at least one structural body can therefore be formed by a board that is at least partially, in particular predominantly, or optionally completely, designed with a curvature or bulge extending in the longitudinal direction of the base body, and thus forms a board-like or...have a -shaped geometry, or be formed by a plate that is at least partially, in particular predominantly, possibly completely, formed with a curvature or bulge extending in the longitudinal direction of the base body and thus have a plate-like or -shaped geometry.

[0017] Regardless of the specific geometry of the at least one structural body or the first spring area, the structural body, as will be shown below, can be attached or is attached to the base body, i.e., in particular to or on its top side, via one or more attachment points or areas, in particular via one or more first attachment points or areas and via one or more second attachment points or areas.

[0018] It is also conceivable that the at least one structural body can be designed with several corresponding boards or panels, for example, arranged side by side, behind each other, and / or on top of each other. The at least one structural body can therefore, in particular to influence its structural properties, i.e., especially its elastic-spring properties and its stiffness, also have several corresponding boards or panels arranged side by side, behind each other, and / or on top of each other, possibly in a stacked arrangement.

[0019] The snow gliding device is characterized not only by at least one structural body arranged on the upper side of the base body, which has at least one first spring region formed by at least one first bulge extending longitudinally along the base body and exhibiting elastic-springing properties, but also by the fact that the base body has at least one second spring region formed by at least one second bulge extending transversely along the base body and exhibiting elastic-springing properties. Thus, the base body also has at least one spring region (second spring region) formed by at least one bulge (second bulge) exhibiting elastic-springing properties, wherein the at least one second bulge, in contrast to the at least one first bulge, does not extend longitudinally along the base body, but transversely.The transverse direction of the base body extends. The directions of extension of the at least one first curvature of the structural body and the at least one second curvature of the base body are therefore orthogonal to each other, from which special structural properties, i.e. in particular elastic-springing properties, of the snow gliding device as a whole result.

[0020] By providing at least one corresponding structural element on the upper surface of the base body, as well as at least one second spring element on the base body, the structural properties, i.e., in particular the elastic-springing properties and the stiffness, and thus also the driving characteristics or behavior of the snow glider, can be significantly influenced. This is achieved, for example, by giving the snow glider a specific elasticity, especially in the direction of a normal to the upper surface of the base body, and stiffness, especially in the direction of the longitudinal and / or transverse axis of the base body. The elasticity and stiffness that can be achieved, or are achieved, by means of the at least one first curvature on the structural element and the at least one second curvature on the base body offer various advantages for both inexperienced and experienced users.Crucially, the at least one first curvature on the structural body, and thus the first spring section, is coordinated with the at least one second curvature on the base body, and thus the second spring section, and vice versa, in order to synergistically realize special properties of the snow gliding device. The geometric and structural properties of the at least one first curvature on the structural body, and thus the first spring section, are therefore chosen taking into account the geometric and structural properties of the at least one second curvature, and thus the second spring section, and vice versa, which synergistically results in special structural properties, i.e., in particular, special elastic-springing properties and a special stiffness, of the snow gliding device.

[0021] The resulting structural properties of the snow glide system thus arise from the combination of the geometric and structural properties of the base body and the at least one structural body arranged on its upper surface. The configuration of the snow glide system with at least one structural body arranged on the upper surface of the base body therefore offers significantly improved driving characteristics compared to conventionally configured snow glide systems, with regard to the achievable structural properties – which, as mentioned, include in particular a special elasticity and stiffness, and thus also special bending and torsional properties in the longitudinal and / or transverse direction of the base body – and the resulting driving characteristics of the snow glide system.The improved handling characteristics of the snow glide system can, in turn, have a positive effect on the execution of certain maneuvers; specifically, the increased elastic and springy properties can improve jumps and landings. The snow glide system can thus exhibit more "pop" and / or "flex" than conventional snow glide systems; in any case, the "pop" and / or "flex" of the snow glide system, particularly for snowboards, can be specifically influenced by the interaction of the base body equipped with the second spring section and the at least one structural body located on the top of the base body and equipped with the first spring section—that is, by the coordinated design of the first and second spring sections.

[0022] In addition to the combination of the respective structural properties of the base body and the at least one structural body, aspects such as the specific dimensions of the at least one structural body, especially relative to the dimensions of the base body, the shape of the at least one structural body, the orientation and / or position of the at least one structural body relative to the base body, as well as the number, dimensions and arrangement of the contact surfaces of the at least one structural body on the base body, are particularly important for the resulting structural properties and the resulting driving characteristics of the snow gliding device.Therefore, the described configuration of the snow gliding device also makes it possible to influence the resulting structural properties and the resulting driving characteristics of the snow gliding device not only through the respective structural properties, but also through other aspects, such as those mentioned above.

[0023] As will be shown, when used as intended, a user typically does not stand on the base body, but rather on at least one of the structural components. The configuration of the snow gliding device thus allows for a higher standing position for the user compared to conventional configurations, which can also have a positive effect on the driving characteristics.

[0024] In specific embodiments, the interaction of the base body, which has at least one second spring section, and the structural body, which has at least one first spring section and is arranged or attached to its upper surface, can achieve the effect that the snow glide device exhibits a special torsional or twisting behavior; for example, the special torsional or twisting behavior of the snow glide device can allow twisting of up to 45° in or about the longitudinal axis of the base body. The at least one structural body can act as an additional lever which, particularly with regard to the execution of certain driving maneuvers, such as cornering, jibs, jumps, grinds, etc., not only leads to or supports improved driving characteristics, but also provides compensation or...This allows for the compensation of any driving errors, which can lead to falls being avoided or at least reduced; this can result, for example, from the fact that the described configuration of the snow gliding device allows for the compensation of canting while driving, e.g., by "levering back" to an original state. Since a user, as mentioned, typically stands not on the base but elevated on at least one structural element, cornering is also facilitated or supported, so that turns can be initiated with reduced effort; the configuration of the snow gliding device can thus include a kind of "power steering," which makes learning easier for inexperienced users and enhances their driving experience.

[0025] Overall, an improved snow gliding device for gliding on snow is available.

[0026] The at least one structural body, in particular the at least one first spring region, typically exhibits elastic-rebound properties with respect to forces directed or acting on the top surface of the base body, especially weight forces. These elastic-rebound properties typically result from the at least one first curvature. The first spring region formed by the at least one first curvature thus acts like a leaf spring or imparts the properties of a leaf spring to the structural body. The elastic-rebound properties of the at least one structural body, i.e., in particular the at least one first spring region, can therefore be determined not only by the elastic-rebound properties of the material or material structure forming the at least one structural body, but also, and especially, by the specific geometric configuration.in particular the radius, which should at least establish a first curvature.

[0027] Similarly, the at least one second spring section can exhibit elastically resilient restoring properties in the face of forces directed or acting on the top surface of the base body, particularly weight forces. These elastically resilient restoring properties typically result from the at least one second curvature. The second spring section formed by the at least one second curvature can thus act like a leaf spring or impart the properties of a leaf spring to the base body. The elastically resilient restoring properties of the at least one second spring section can therefore be determined not only by the elastically resilient properties of the material or material structure forming the base body, but also, and especially, by the specific geometric configuration, i.e., in particular, the radius, of the at least one second curvature.

[0028] Between the upper surface of the base body and the at least one structural body, in particular the at least one spring section formed by the at least one first curvature, a space is typically formed that is curved in the longitudinal direction of the base body, and in particular, viewed longitudinally, arc-shaped or arc-like, and, viewed three-dimensionally, optionally dome-like or dome-shaped. The dimensions of the space, i.e., in particular the maximum distance of the space from the upper surface of the base body or the maximum height of the space defined by the dimensions of the at least one first curvature, can also influence the driving characteristics of the snow gliding device, as they can, for example, affect the damping properties or the damping behavior of the at least one structural body.

[0029] Specifically, the clearance can, for example, have a maximum distance or height relative to the top of the base body of 10 cm, in particular 9 cm, further in particular 8 cm, further in particular 7 cm, further in particular 6 cm, further in particular 5 cm, further in particular 4 cm, further in particular 3 cm, further in particular 2 cm, further in particular 1 cm. As will be shown below, the maximum distance or maximum height of the clearance can be varied, particularly under appropriate load, for example by selectively changing the arrangement of one or more front first attachment points or areas relative to one or more rear first attachment points or areas of the at least one structural body, or vice versa, on the top of the base body. This can also be achieved, if necessary, by a floating attachment, as explained in more detail below.The storage of at least one structural body must be supported on the base body.

[0030] The dimensions of the at least one structural body or the at least one first spring section in the longitudinal direction of the snow gliding device, and thus its longitudinal extent, are typically selected with respect to the dimensions of the base body in the longitudinal direction, and thus its longitudinal extent. The dimensions of the at least one structural body or the at least one first spring section in the longitudinal direction of the snow gliding device, and thus its longitudinal extent, are typically smaller than the dimensions of the base body in the longitudinal direction, and thus its longitudinal extent; the at least one structural body or the at least one first spring section is therefore, particularly with respect to its respective maximum longitudinal extent, typically shorter than the base body.

[0031] For example, the at least one structural body can have a maximum length dimension that corresponds to at least 15%, in particular at least 20%, further in particular at least 25%, in particular at least 30%, further in particular at least 35%, further in particular at least 40%, further in particular at least 45%, further in particular at least 50%, further in particular at least 55%, further in particular at least 60%, further in particular at least 65%, further in particular at least 70%, further in particular at least 75%, further in particular at least 80%, further in particular at least 85%, further in particular at least 90%, further in particular at least 95%, of the maximum length dimension of the base body.The selection of the maximum length of the at least one structural body and / or the degree of overlap of the base body by the at least one structural body also provides a means of specifically influencing the resulting structural properties of the snow gliding device. Naturally, the maximum length of the at least one structural body can vary depending on the specific design of the snow gliding device; for designs of the snow gliding device as a ski, the length of the at least one structural body should be at least 15 cm, e.g., to allow for the proper attachment of a ski binding.

[0032] With regard to the arrangement of the at least one structural body on the top surface of the base body, it is true that the at least one structural body can, in principle, be arranged in any region of the top surface of the base body. The choice of the location of the arrangement of the at least one structural body on the top surface of the base body, particularly in combination with a specific length dimension of the at least one structural body, also provides a means of selectively influencing the resulting structural properties of the snow gliding device.

[0033] The base body can have, in the longitudinal direction, a first base body section having a first free end, a second base body section having a second free end, and a third base body section arranged between the first and second base body sections. The third base body section can, for example, occupy at least 25%, in particular at least 30%, further in particular at least 35%, further in particular at least 40%, further in particular at least 45%, further in particular at least 50%, further in particular at least 55%, further in particular at least 60%, further in particular at least 65%, further in particular at least 70%, further in particular at least 75%, further in particular at least 80%, further in particular at least 85%, further in particular at least 90%, further in particular at least 95% of the maximum length dimension of the base body.The at least one structural body can be arranged at least partially, in particular predominantly, possibly completely, covering the third basic body section within or above it.

[0034] The same applies to the width and transverse extent of the at least one structural body or the at least one first spring section in the width and transverse direction of the snow gliding device, i.e., in a direction extending transversely to the longitudinal direction of the snow gliding device. Therefore, the dimensions of the at least one structural body or the at least one first spring section in the width and transverse direction, and thus its width and transverse extent, are typically chosen with regard to the dimensions of the base body in the width and transverse direction, and thus its width and transverse extent. The dimensions of the at least one structural body or the at least one first spring section in the width and transverse direction of the snow gliding device are typically smaller than the dimensions of the base body in the width and transverse direction, and thus its width and transverse extent; the at least one structural body orThe at least one first spring section is therefore, in particular with regard to the respective maximum width or transverse extent, typically narrower than the base body.

[0035] The dimensions of at least one second spring section, and thus its width and transverse extent, can also be chosen in relation to the dimensions of the base body in the width and transverse direction. The dimensions of at least one second spring section in the width and transverse direction of the snow gliding device can correspond to the dimensions of the base body in the width and transverse direction, and thus its width and transverse extent. However, it is also conceivable that the dimensions of at least one second spring section in the width and transverse direction of the snow gliding device are smaller than the dimensions of the base body in the width and transverse direction, and thus its width and transverse extent; the at least second spring section can therefore be narrower than the base body, particularly with regard to its respective maximum width and transverse extent.

[0036] The at least one structural body or the at least one first spring region can, as indicated, have a geometry defined by at least one longitudinal dimension and at least one width or transverse dimension. The width or transverse dimension of the at least one structural body or the at least one first spring region can be constant or variable along its longitudinal extent, i.e., decrease and / or increase. The same applies to the at least one second spring region; thus, the width or transverse dimension of the at least one second spring region can be constant or variable along its longitudinal extent, i.e., decrease and / or increase.

[0037] The at least one structural body or the at least one first spring section can, in principle, have at least one first section, which has a first width or transverse dimension extending in the width or transverse direction of the base body, and at least one second section, which has a second width or transverse dimension extending in the width or transverse direction of the base body that differs from the first width dimension. The at least one structural body or the at least one first spring section can therefore have different width or transverse dimensions; the shaping in the width or transverse direction, i.e., in particular the realization of sections of different widths or narrowness, also represents a measure to selectively influence the structural properties of the at least one structural body and thus the resulting structural properties of the snow gliding device.

[0038] Specifically, the at least one structural body or the at least one first spring section can have at least one first section, which has a first width or transverse dimension extending in the width or transverse direction of the base body; at least one second section, which may optionally also be designated as a connecting or intermediate web, which has a second width or transverse dimension extending in the width or transverse direction of the base body and smaller than the first width or transverse dimension; and a third section, which has a second width or transverse dimension extending in the width or transverse direction of the base body and larger than the second width or transverse dimension. The width or transverse dimensions of the first and third sections can be the same or different.The at least one second area can be arranged or formed in the direction of the longitudinal axis of the base body between the first and third areas. The at least one structural body can thus have at least one waist based on three separate, optionally different, width or transverse dimensions; the realization of at least one such waist, as well as its specific dimensions or shape, also constitutes a measure to selectively influence the structural properties of the at least one structural body and thus the resulting structural properties of the snow gliding device. This applies in particular to snow gliding device designs as snowboards or skis.

[0039] The at least one first spring section can, in corresponding embodiments of the at least one structural body with three sections, be formed by or encompass the at least one second section. Thus, the at least one second section can be convexly curved. The at least one first curvature can therefore be formed by the at least one second section. The respective first and third sections, on the other hand, can be flat. The respective first and third sections can form first and second bearing or force application areas or corresponding bearing surfaces with which the at least one structural body rests on the upper surface of the base body and via which forces acting on the at least one structural body during use of the snow gliding device can be introduced into the base body.

[0040] The at least one second spring section can also, in principle, have at least a first section, which has a first width or transverse dimension extending in the width or transverse direction of the base body, and at least a second section, which has a second width or transverse dimension extending in the width or transverse direction of the base body that differs from the first width or transverse dimension. The at least one second spring section can therefore have different width or transverse dimensions; the shaping in the width or transverse direction, i.e., in particular the realization of sections of different widths or narrowness, represents a measure to specifically influence the structural properties of the base body and thus the resulting structural properties of the snow gliding device.

[0041] Specifically, the at least one second spring section can comprise at least a first section, which has a first width or transverse dimension extending in the width or transverse direction of the base body; at least one second section, optionally also designating itself as a connecting or intermediate web, which has a second width or transverse dimension extending in the width or transverse direction of the base body and smaller than the first width or transverse dimension; and a third section, which has a second width or transverse dimension extending in the width or transverse direction of the base body and larger than the second width or transverse dimension. The width or transverse dimensions of the first and third sections can be the same or different. The at least one second section can be arranged or formed between the first and third sections in the direction of the longitudinal axis of the base body.The basic body can therefore exhibit at least one waist-like shape based on three separate, possibly differing, width or transverse dimensions; the realization of at least one such waist-like shape, as well as its specific dimensions or form, also constitutes a measure to specifically influence the structural properties of the basic body and thus the resulting structural properties of the snow gliding device. This applies in particular to snow gliding device designs as snowboards or skis.

[0042] It should be noted at this point that the at least one structural body can rest directly on the top surface of the base body via corresponding support or force application areas or corresponding bearing surfaces; however, this is not strictly necessary, because one or more spacer elements, e.g., strip-like or -shaped, can be arranged or formed between the at least one structural body and the top surface of the base body, so that the at least one structural body does not rest directly on the top surface of the base body, but on one or more corresponding spacer elements, which rest directly on the top surface of the base body. The resulting structural properties of the snow gliding device can also be specifically influenced by the number, dimensions, arrangement, and structural properties of the spacer elements. The dimensions of one or more spacer elements in the vertical direction, i.e.,In a direction normal to the top of the base body, the height and / or angular position of a user relative to the top of the base body can also be influenced. Corresponding spacer elements can therefore have a height of, for example, 1 mm, 2 mm, 3 mm, 4 mm, 5 mm, 6 mm, 7 mm, 8 mm, 9 mm, 10 mm, 11 mm, 12 mm, 13 mm, 14 mm, 15 mm, 16 mm, 17 mm, 18 mm, 19 mm, 20 mm or more. Such spacer elements can, for example, be made of an elastic-springing material or an elastic-springing material structure, which can also influence the elastic-springing properties of the snow gliding device. Specifically, such spacer elements can therefore, for example, be made of or comprise an elastomeric material. In this way, damping properties can also be created or influenced, for example to improve the landing behavior after a jump.

[0043] Likewise, configurations of at least one structural body with several second areas, each separated from one another by at least one gap, are conceivable. One, several, or all second areas can be arranged parallel to the longitudinal axis of the base body. Alternatively or additionally, one, several, or all second areas can be arranged obliquely to the longitudinal axis of the base body. At least two of the several second areas can be arranged parallel to each other. At least two of the several second areas can have the same or different dimensions in the longitudinal and / or transverse direction. Regardless of their orientation and / or position or their dimensions, the at least one spring area can be formed by or encompass the several second areas separated from one another by the at least one gap.Therefore, the number, orientation, and / or position of the individual components, particularly relative to the longitudinal axis of the base body and / or relative to each other, as well as their dimensions, provide a means of specifically influencing the structural properties of at least one structural body and thus the resulting structural properties of the snow gliding device. This applies especially to snow gliding device designs in the form of a snowboard or ski.

[0044] The at least one first spring section can, in addition to the at least one first curvature which, as mentioned, extends longitudinally along the base body, also have at least one further curvature (transverse curvature) extending laterally or transversely along the base body. The at least one structural body can, at least with regard to the second section, be a dome-like or dome-shaped component; thus, at least the at least one first spring section can be dome-like or dome-shaped due to the curvatures in the longitudinal and transverse directions. The formation of the at least one first spring section with at least one first curvature extending longitudinally along the base body and at least one further curvature extending laterally or transversely along the base body can create a dome-like or dome-shaped component.The further curvature extending transversely to the base body and the resulting three-dimensional shaping of the at least one structural body constitutes a further measure to specifically influence the structural properties of the at least one structural body and thus the resulting structural properties of the snow gliding device.

[0045] The first and subsequent curvatures of the at least one first spring section can have the same or different geometric parameters, i.e., in particular their respective radii; the specific geometric parameters of the respective first and subsequent curvatures also provide a means of selectively influencing the structural properties of the at least one structural body and thus the resulting structural properties of the snow gliding device.

[0046] In addition to the at least one second spring section, which, as mentioned, extends transversely across the base body, the at least one second spring section can also have at least one further longitudinal curve (longitudinal curvature) extending along the base body. The at least one second spring section, at least with regard to the second section, can be a dome-like or dome-shaped structure; thus, at least the at least one second spring section can be dome-like or dome-shaped due to the longitudinal and transverse curves. The formation of the at least one second spring section with at least one first curve extending longitudinally across the base body and at least one extending laterally or laterally...The further curvature extending transversely to the base body and the resulting three-dimensional shaping of at least one second spring area constitutes a further measure to specifically influence the structural properties of the base body and thus the resulting structural properties of the snow gliding device.

[0047] The first and subsequent curvatures of at least one second spring section can have the same or different geometric parameters, i.e., in particular their respective radii; the specific geometric parameters of the respective first and subsequent curvatures also provide a means of selectively influencing the structural properties of the base body and thus the resulting structural properties of the snow gliding device.

[0048] As mentioned above, the at least one structural body is typically attached to the base body, i.e., in particular to the top surface of the base body. The at least one structural body can therefore have at least one first attachment interface for attaching the at least one structural body to the base body. A corresponding first attachment interface can, for example, be a form-fit, force-fit, and / or material-fit attachment interface, such that the at least one structural body can be attached to the base body via a form-fit, force-fit, and / or material-fit attachment method. Form-fit and / or force-fit attachment methods can, in particular, be clamping, screwing, clamping, or snap-fit ​​attachments; corresponding attachment interfaces can therefore, for example, be clamping, screwing, clamping, or snap-fit ​​interfaces, such that, for example, at least sectionally, a screw or...Openings through which a screw bolt can pass are to be considered. Material-bonded fastening methods can, in particular, be adhesive or welding fastenings; corresponding fastening interfaces can therefore be adhesive or welding interfaces, so that, for example, adhesive or welding surfaces are to be considered.

[0049] In particular, for form-fit and / or force-fit fastening methods, it is important to note that these allow for the attachment of at least one structural body to the base body, which may be detachable (without damage or destruction). Therefore, it may be possible to attach the structural body, or at least one structural body, to the base body in an interchangeable manner. This, in turn, opens up the possibility of equipping the snow gliding device with different structural properties by replacing a first structural body with a second structural body that is configured differently, for example, geometrically or structurally. In this way, it is possible, for example, to configure one and the same base body for users with different skill levels and / or for different driving situations. For example, for driving situations in which many jumps have to be performed, such as...In a halfpipe, a structural body that supports jumps and landings due to its structural properties and attachment to the top of the base body is advantageous, whereas in riding situations where many turns have to be made, such as in a snowboard cross, a structural body that supports turns due to its structural properties and attachment to the top of the base body is advantageous.

[0050] Specifically, the at least one structural body can have, in particular, at least one front first fastening interface for fastening the at least one structural body to the base body, which is arranged or formed in the area of ​​a first or front structural body section facing a first free end of the base body, and at least one rear first fastening interface for fastening the at least one structural body to the base body, which is arranged or formed in the area of ​​a second or rear structural body section facing a second free end of the base body.

[0051] The at least one front first mounting interface can enable the at least one structural body to be mounted in at least one degree of freedom in a plane of motion parallel to the top of the base body. A so-called floating mounting or bearing of the at least one structural body on the top of the base body can thus be realized via the at least one front first mounting interface, which in turn represents a measure to specifically influence the driving characteristics of the snow gliding device. Specifically, cornering can be influenced in this way, for example, by providing the user with additional degrees of freedom to initiate and / or absorb forces, such as when performing turns. Alternatively or additionally, the spring or restoring properties of the at least one structural body, and thus, for example, the take-off or landing characteristics, can be influenced.Landing behavior can be improved, for example, to initiate and / or absorb forces when performing jumps.

[0052] Alternatively or additionally, the at least one rear first mounting interface can enable the at least one structural body to be mounted in at least one degree of freedom in a plane of motion parallel to the top of the base body. A so-called floating mounting or bearing of the at least one structural body on the top of the base body can also be achieved via the at least one rear first mounting interface, which is another way to specifically influence the driving characteristics of the snow gliding device. For example, cornering can also be influenced in this way, as additional degrees of freedom are available to the user to initiate and / or absorb forces, for example, when performing turns. Alternatively or additionally, the spring or restoring properties of the at least one structural body, and thus the...B. the take-off and landing behavior can be improved, for example in order to initiate and / or absorb forces when performing jumps.

[0053] According to a specific embodiment, only the at least one rear first mounting interface, or optionally all rear first mounting interfaces, can enable the mounting of the at least one structural body to be movable in at least one degree of freedom in a plane of motion parallel to the top surface of the base body, whereas the at least one front first mounting interface, or optionally all front first mounting interfaces, are fixed in position and therefore not movable in at least one degree of freedom in a plane of motion parallel to the top surface of the base body. In a corresponding arrangement, the at least one rear first mounting interface is thus also movably mounted relative to the at least one front first mounting interface. An inverse configuration is also conceivable.

[0054] Specifically, the at least one front first mounting interface and / or the at least one rear mounting interface can, for example, enable the mounting of the at least one structural body to or on the base body in at least one translational degree of freedom along a translational axis oriented in or transverse to the longitudinal direction of the base body. At least one front first mounting interface and / or at least one rear first mounting interface can be displaced relative to the base body along a translational axis oriented in or transverse to the longitudinal direction of the base body. This can be achieved, for example, by means of guide devices arranged on or in the base body and / or the at least one structural body; such guide devices can, for example, be designed as guide slots within which, for example,Guide pins serving as fastening elements are mounted engaging within these. Corresponding guide slots can be arranged or formed, e.g., straight or curved, in a direction parallel to the longitudinal and / or transverse axis of the base body or at an angle to it, i.e., in particular an inclined arrangement, on or in the base body or the at least one structural body.

[0055] Alternatively or additionally, the at least one front first mounting interface and / or the at least one rear first mounting interface can enable the mounting of the at least one structural body to or on the base body in at least one rotational degree of freedom along an axis of rotation perpendicular to the plane of motion. At least one front first mounting interface and / or at least one rear first mounting interface can thus be pivoted about an axis of rotation perpendicular to the plane of motion relative to the base body. This can also be achieved, for example, by means of guide devices arranged on or in the base body and / or the at least one structural body; such guide devices can, in turn, be, for example, guide slots within which, for example,Guide pins serving as fastening elements are mounted engaging within these. Corresponding guide slots can be arranged or formed, e.g., straight or curved, in a direction parallel to the transverse axis of the base body or at an angle to it, i.e., in particular, an inclined arrangement, on or in the base body or the at least one structural body.

[0056] The at least one front first fastening interface and / or the at least one rear first fastening interface can be specifically arranged or configured, for example, in the area of ​​a structural body section forming a planar support on the top surface of the base body, i.e., a first and / or third area of ​​the structural body mentioned above. In this way, despite the at least one translational and / or rotational degree of freedom of the at least one structural body relative to the base body, a stable fastening of the at least one structural body to the base body can be achieved.

[0057] As mentioned at the outset, the snow gliding device can have at least one attachment interface for a binding, such as a snowboard or ski binding, via which a boot, i.e., a snowboard boot or a ski boot, can be attached to the snow gliding device. A corresponding attachment interface can, in particular, be arranged or formed on the at least one structural body. Therefore, in all embodiments, the at least one structural body can have at least one second attachment interface for attaching a binding for a user.In particular, the at least one structural body can have one or more second fastening interfaces for attaching a first binding, which are arranged or formed in the area of ​​a structural body section facing a first free end (front free end) of the base body, and can have one or more second fastening interfaces for attaching a second binding, which are arranged or formed in the area of ​​a structural body section facing a second free end (rear free end) of the base body. This applies in particular to snowboard versions.

[0058] A corresponding second fastening interface can be, for example, a form-fit and / or force-fit fastening interface, allowing a bond to be attached to the at least one structural body via a form-fit and / or force-fit fastening method. In particular, form-fit and / or force-fit fastening methods must enable the bond to be attached to the at least one structural body in a way that is releasable (if necessary, without damage or destruction). Form-fit and / or force-fit fastening methods can, in particular, be clamping, screwing, tensioning, or snap-fit ​​fastenings; corresponding fastening interfaces can therefore be, for example, clamping, screwing, tensioning, or snap-fit ​​interfaces, such that openings accessible at least partially by a screw or bolt are possible.

[0059] A further measure to selectively influence the structural properties of the at least one structural body, and thus the resulting structural properties of the snow gliding device, can be implemented by having the at least one structural body possess one or more influencing structures that locally affect the elastic-springing properties in at least one direction, in particular in the longitudinal and / or transverse direction of the base body, especially in the form of local stiffeners and / or weakenings. Corresponding local stiffeners can be realized, for example, through geometric-constructive parameters such as (comparatively) greater wall thicknesses, material accumulations, stiffening geometries such as rib geometries, etc. Analogously, corresponding local weakenings can be achieved, for example, through geometric-constructive parameters such as (comparatively) smaller wall thicknesses, material reductions, weakening geometries, etc.Openings, etc., must be implemented.

[0060] In addition to the at least one structural body, the base body can also be configured in a special way to improve the resulting structural properties of the snow gliding device and thus its driving characteristics. For example, the base body can have, in the longitudinal direction, a first base body section having a first free end, a second base body section having a second free end, and a third base body section arranged between the first and second base body sections, wherein the third base body section has the at least second curvature and thus forms the second spring section. The third base body section can therefore have a second spring section with elastic-spring properties formed by the at least one second curvature extending in the longitudinal and / or transverse direction of the base body. The second spring section can, for example,This can be achieved by a comparatively smaller wall thickness of the base body. Specifically, the at least one second spring area of ​​the base body can therefore be formed, for example, by a longitudinally extending, in particular trough-like or -shaped, depression and / or by a longitudinally extending elevation of the base body.

[0061] A corresponding recess and / or elevation can have a maximum length dimension that corresponds to at least 15%, in particular at least 20%, further in particular at least 25%, in particular at least 30%, further in particular at least 35%, further in particular at least 40%, further in particular at least 45%, further in particular at least 50%, further in particular at least 55%, further in particular at least 60%, further in particular at least 65%, further in particular at least 70%, further in particular at least 75%, further in particular at least 80%, further in particular at least 85%, further in particular at least 90%, further in particular at least 95%, of the maximum length dimension of the base body.Selecting the maximum length of the recess and / or raised section allows for targeted control of the structural properties of the base body and, consequently, the resulting structural properties of the snow glide device. Naturally, the maximum length of the recess and / or raised section can vary depending on the specific design of the snow glide device.

[0062] The width or transverse dimension of the depression and / or elevation can be constant or variable along its longitudinal and / or transverse extent, i.e., decrease and / or increase. Similarly, the depth of the depression and / or the height of the elevation can be constant or variable along its longitudinal and / or transverse extent, i.e., decrease and / or increase. In general, a corresponding depression and / or elevation can therefore have a cross-sectional geometry that is constant or variable in the longitudinal and / or transverse direction.

[0063] A corresponding recess or raised area in the base body is typically formed on the upper side of the base body. This is primarily because the underside of the base body, which is provided with the sliding surface or track, can then be easily accessed, for example for service and / or repair purposes, just like with conventional snow gliding devices.

[0064] The second spring region, or the at least one second curvature forming it, can be integrated into the base body, at least partially, and optionally completely. In particular, the second spring region, or the at least one second curvature forming it, can be formed by a core structure of the base body, which has at least one second curvature extending transversely across the base body. The second spring region can therefore be formed by a core structure of the base body arranged between the upper and lower surfaces of the base body, which has at least one second curvature extending transversely across the base body.

[0065] With regard to the nature of the at least one first curvature and the at least one second curvature, it is possible that these can be opposite in design. The at least one first spring section can therefore, for example, have at least one convex curvature extending longitudinally along the base body, and the at least one second spring section can have at least one concave curvature extending transversely along the base body. However, a configuration in which the at least one first curvature and the at least one second curvature are identical in design is also conceivable in principle.

[0066] Specifically, the at least one first spring section can thus have at least one convex curvature extending in the longitudinal direction of the base body, and the at least one second spring section can be formed by a core structure of the base body which has at least one concave curvature extending in the transverse direction of the base body. Surprisingly, investigations have shown that such a configuration of the snow gliding device exhibits particularly advantageous properties with regard to driving characteristics and behavior.

[0067] The invention is explained again below with reference to the embodiments shown in the figures; the figures show: Fig. 1 - 5 each show a schematic representation of a snow sliding device according to an exemplary embodiment; Fig. 6 - 12 each show schematic diagrams of a snow sliding device according to further embodiments; and Fig. 13 and Fig. 14 each a schematic representation of a basic body of a snow sliding device according to an exemplary embodiment.

[0068] The Fig. Figures 1-5 each show a schematic representation of a snow sliding device 10 according to an exemplary embodiment. The snow sliding device 10 is in Fig. 1 in a perspective view, in Fig. 2 in a supervision and in Fig. 3 shown in a side view. Fig. 4 and Fig. 5 show enlarged views of details IV and V in Fig. 2.

[0069] The snow gliding device 10 is designed as a device that enables a user, at least with sufficient practice, to glide in a controlled manner on snow. When used as intended, the user typically stands with at least one leg on the snow gliding device 10; for this purpose, the snow gliding device 10 can, as explained in more detail below, have at least one (second) attachment interface for a binding, which is designed to attach a boot, i.e., a snowboard boot, to the snow gliding device 10.

[0070] In the embodiments shown in the Fig., the snow gliding device 10 is configured as a snowboard; however, the following descriptions apply analogously to other embodiments of the snow gliding device 10, such as versions as skis or snow skates.

[0071] The snow gliding device 10 comprises a board-like or -shaped base body 20 defining a longitudinal axis A1 or direction and a transverse axis A2 or transverse direction, with a top surface 21 and a bottom surface 22. The base body 20 can also be referred to as a baseboard and can have a core or core structure 28 made of a single- or multi-layered, optionally sandwich-like, core material or a single- or multi-layered, optionally sandwich-like, core material structure; the core material can be, for example, wood, plastic, metal, or a composite material such as a fiber composite material; the core material structure can be, for example, a material structure comprising wood, plastic, metal, or a composite material such as a fiber composite material.

[0072] On the underside 22 of the base body 20, a sliding surface 23, or a driving surface sometimes also referred to as a "base", is arranged or formed, at least partially, and in particular completely. The underside 22 of the base body 20 is thus provided, at least partially, and in particular completely, with a sliding surface 23, or a driving surface, for sliding on snow. The sliding surface 23, or the driving surface, can be made of, for example, graphite, plastic, in particular a polyethylene-based plastic, or metal, or comprise at least one of the aforementioned materials.

[0073] A structural body 30 is arranged on the upper surface 21 of the base body 20. In this embodiment, the structural body 30 has a first spring section 31 exhibiting elastic-spring properties, which is formed by a first bulge 32a (longitudinal bulge) extending in the longitudinal direction of the base body 20. The snow gliding device 10 thus has a configuration with a base body 20 on the upper surface of which a separate structural body 30 is arranged, which is formed by or has a first spring section 31 exhibiting elastic-spring properties. The first spring section 31 is formed by the first bulge 32a extending in the longitudinal direction of the base body 20.The configuration of the snow gliding device 10 therefore provides that a structural body 30 is arranged on the upper side 21 of the base body 20, which has an elastic-springing first spring area 31 and thus elastically springs under corresponding load or force application, which is formed by the first curvature 32a extending in the longitudinal direction of the base body 20.

[0074] The structural body 30, i.e. in particular the first spring area 31, can also be referred to or considered as the first spring body due to its elastic-springing properties.

[0075] Based on the Fig. 1 and Fig. It is evident from Figure 3 that the first curvature 32a can be a convex curvature; the structural body 30 therefore has, at least due to the first spring area 31 formed by the first curvature 32a, a surface that is curved outwards, in particular with respect to the upper surface 21 of the base body 20; the snow gliding device 10 is thus, at least with regard to the maximum height extension, higher than conventional snow gliding devices.

[0076] The structural body 30 can, in principle, be formed from the same material or material structure as the base body 20, i.e., in particular, from the core or core structure of the base body 20, and thus differ from the base body 20, in particular, by its geometric configuration, i.e., in particular, the first bulge 32a. Alternatively, the structural body 30 can be formed from a different material or material structure than the base body 20, i.e., in particular, from the core or core structure of the base body 20, and thus differ from the base body 20 not only by its geometric configuration, i.e., in particular, by the first bulge 32a, but also by its "materiality".

[0077] Advantageously, the structural body 30, i.e., in particular the first spring region 31, is formed by an elastically resilient material or by an elastically resilient material structure, in particular a multi-layered elastically resilient material structure. Specifically, the structural body 30, i.e., in particular the first spring region 31, can be formed, for example, from wood, plastic, metal, or a composite material such as a fiber-reinforced composite material; a design comprising a single- or multi-layered material structure made of wood, plastic, metal, or a composite material such as a fiber-reinforced composite material is also conceivable.

[0078] The first bulge 32a, forming the first spring section 31, is characterized in particular by a radius R extending in the longitudinal direction of the base body 20, which is not present in the base body 20. Thus, as the figures show, the structural body 30 differs fundamentally from the base body 20, particularly by its radius R. The radius R of the first bulge 32a can, for example, be in a range between 1750 mm and 1950 mm, particularly in a range between 1800 mm and 1900 mm. In configurations of the snow gliding device 10 for women, the radius R can be in a range between 1825 mm and 1875 mm, particularly at approximately 1855 mm, and in configurations of the snow gliding device 10 for men in a range between 1875 mm and 1915 mm, particularly at approximately 1895 mm.

[0079] The figures show that the structural body 30 can, in principle, be designed, for example, as a web or rib-like structure. Specifically, the figures show that the structural body 30 can be formed by a single- or multi-layered board or plate having a corresponding first curvature 32a extending longitudinally in the direction of the base body 20 and thus a corresponding first spring region 31. The structural body 30 can therefore be formed by a board or plate that is at least partially, in particular predominantly, or optionally completely, curved or arched, and thus has a curved or arched board-like or plate-like geometry.

[0080] It is also conceivable to design the structural body 30 with several corresponding boards or plates, e.g., in an arrangement next to, behind, and / or on top of each other. The structural body 30 can therefore, in particular to specifically influence its structural properties, i.e., especially its elastic-spring properties and its stiffness, also have several corresponding boards or plates in an arrangement next to, behind, and / or on top of each other, possibly stacked.

[0081] By providing the structural body 30 on the upper surface 21 of the base body 20, the structural properties, i.e., in particular the elastic-springing properties and the stiffness, and thus also the driving characteristics or the driving behavior of the snow gliding device 10, can be significantly influenced, for example, by giving the snow gliding device 10 a certain elasticity, especially in the direction of a normal to the upper surface 21 of the base body 20, and stiffness, especially in the direction of the longitudinal and / or transverse axis of the base body 20. The elasticity and stiffness that can be achieved or are achieved by means of the structural body 30 result in various advantages for both inexperienced and experienced users.

[0082] As can be seen from the perspective view of the respective basic body 20 of a snow gliding device 10 Fig. 13, Fig. 14 results, but their structural properties are not solely characterized by at least one structural body 30 arranged on the upper surface 21 of the base body 20 (this is in the Fig. 13, Fig. 14 (not shown, although present) for the sake of simplicity, which has a first spring region 31 formed by at least one first curvature 32a extending in the longitudinal extent of the base body 20 and exhibiting elastic-springing properties, but also by the fact that the base body 20 has a second spring region 27 formed by at least one second curvature 27a extending in the transverse extent of the base body 20 and exhibiting elastic-springing properties. Thus, the base body 20 has a spring region 27 (second spring region) formed by at least one curvature (second curvature 27a) and exhibiting elastic-springing properties, wherein the at least one second curvature 27a of the second spring region 27, in contrast to the at least one first curvature 32a of the first spring region 31, does not extend longitudinally or in the longitudinal direction of the base body 20, but transversely or in the longitudinal direction of the base body 20.The transverse direction of the base body 20 extends. The directions of extension of the at least one first curvature 32a of the structural body 30 and the at least one second curvature 27a of the base body 20 are therefore orthogonal to each other, from which special structural properties, i.e. in particular elastic-springing properties, of the snow gliding device as a whole result.

[0083] The resulting structural properties of the snow gliding device 10 thus arise from the combination of the geometric and structural properties of the base body 20 and the structural body 30 arranged on its upper surface 21. The configuration of the snow gliding device 10 with the structural body 30 arranged on the upper surface 21 of the base body 20 therefore offers significantly improved driving characteristics compared to conventionally configured snow gliding devices with regard to the achievable structural properties – which, as mentioned, include in particular a special elasticity and stiffness and thus also special bending or torsional properties in the longitudinal and / or transverse direction of the base body 20 – and the resulting driving characteristics of the snow gliding device 10.The improved handling characteristics of the snow gliding device 10 can, in turn, have a positive effect on the execution of certain maneuvers; specifically, for example, the increased elastic-springing properties can improve takeoffs and landings. The snow gliding device 10 can thus exhibit more "pop" and / or "flex" than conventional snow gliding devices; in any case, the "pop" and / or "flex" of the snow gliding device 10, particularly for snowboards, can be specifically influenced by the structural body 30 arranged on the upper surface 21 of the base body 20.

[0084] In addition to the combination of the respective structural properties of the base body 20 and the structural body 30, aspects such as the specific dimensions of the structural body 30, especially relative to the dimensions of the base body 20, the shape of the structural body 30, the orientation and / or position of the structural body 30 relative to the base body 20, as well as the number, dimensions and arrangement of the bearing surfaces 33a, 33b of the structural body 30 on the base body 20, are particularly important for the resulting structural properties and the resulting driving characteristics of the snow sliding device 10.Therefore, the described configuration of the snow gliding device 10 also makes it possible to influence the resulting structural properties and the resulting driving characteristics of the snow gliding device 10 not only through the respective structural properties, but also through other aspects, such as those mentioned above.

[0085] As will be shown below and illustrated in the figure, a user typically does not stand on the base body 20 during normal use, but rather on the structural body 30. The configuration of the snow gliding device 10 thus also allows for a higher standing position for the user compared to conventional configurations, which can also have a positive effect on the driving characteristics.

[0086] In specific embodiments, the interaction of the base body 20 and the structural body 30 arranged or attached to its upper surface 21 can result in the snow glide device 10 exhibiting a special torsional or twisting behavior; this special torsional or twisting behavior of the snow glide device 10 can allow twisting of up to 45° in or around the longitudinal axis of the base body 20. The structural body 30 can act as an additional lever, which, particularly with regard to the execution of certain driving maneuvers such as turns, jibs, jumps, grinds, etc., not only leads to or supports improved driving characteristics but also compensates for any driving errors, thus preventing or at least reducing falls; this can result, for example, from the fact that the described configuration of the snow glide device 10 allows, for example,By "levering back" to an original state, tilting during driving is compensated for. Since a user, as mentioned, typically stands not on the base body 20 but elevated on the structural body 30, cornering is also facilitated or supported, so that cornering or corresponding turns can be initiated with reduced effort; the configuration of the snow gliding device 10 can therefore include a kind of "power steering", which makes learning easier for inexperienced users and enhances their driving experience.

[0087] The structural body 30, in particular the first spring section 31, exhibits elastically springy restoring properties due to its geometry, resisting forces directed or acting on the upper surface 21 of the base body 20, especially weight forces. These elastically springy restoring properties result in particular from the first curvature 32a. The first spring section 31 thus acts like a leaf spring, or rather, imparts the properties of a leaf spring to the structural body 30. The elastically springy restoring properties of the structural body 30, i.e., in particular of the first spring section 31, can therefore be determined not only by the elastically springy properties of the material or material structure forming the structural body 30, but also, and especially, by the specific geometric configuration, i.e., in particular the radius R, of the first curvature 32a.

[0088] Similarly, the second spring section 27 exhibits elastically resilient restoring properties in the face of forces directed or acting on the upper surface of the base body 20, in particular weight forces. These elastically resilient restoring properties typically result from the at least one second curvature. The second spring section 27 can therefore act like a leaf spring or impart the properties of a leaf spring to the base body 20. The elastically resilient restoring properties of the second spring section 27 can thus be determined not only by the elastically resilient properties of the material or material structure forming the base body 20, but also, and especially, by the specific geometric configuration, i.e., in particular, the radius, of the at least one second curvature 27a.

[0089] The figure further shows that a space FR is formed between the upper surface 21 of the base body 20 and the structural body 30, in particular the first spring area 31 formed by the first curvature 32a. This space FR is curved in the longitudinal direction of the base body 20 and, in particular, is arc-shaped or arc-like when viewed longitudinally, and optionally dome-shaped or cup-shaped when viewed three-dimensionally. The dimensions of the space FR, i.e., in particular the maximum distance of the space FR from the upper surface 21 of the base body 20 and the maximum height h defined by the dimensions of the first curvature 32a, are also shown. max of the free space FR, can have an influence on the driving characteristics of the snow sliding device 10, as these can affect, for example, the damping properties or the damping behavior of the structural body 30.

[0090] Specifically, the free space FR can, for example, have a maximum distance or a maximum height relative to the top surface 21 of the base body 20 of 10 cm, in particular 9 cm, further in particular 8 cm, further in particular 7 cm, further in particular 6 cm, further in particular 5 cm, further in particular 4 cm, further in particular 3 cm, further in particular 2 cm, further in particular 1 cm. As will be shown below, the maximum distance or maximum height h can maxThe free space FR, particularly under appropriate load, can be varied, for example, by selectively changing the arrangement of one or more front first attachment points 37a or areas relative to one or more rear first attachment points 37b or areas of the structural body 30 on the upper surface 21 of the base body 20. This can optionally also be supported by a floating attachment or support of the structural body 30 on the base body 20, as explained in more detail below.

[0091] The dimensions of the structural body 30 or the first spring section 31 in the longitudinal direction of the snow gliding device 10, and thus its longitudinal extent, are typically selected with regard to the dimensions of the base body 20 in the longitudinal direction, and thus its longitudinal extent. The dimensions of the structural body 30 or the first spring section 31 in the longitudinal direction of the snow gliding device 10, and thus its longitudinal extent, are typically smaller than the dimensions of the base body 20 in the longitudinal direction, and thus its longitudinal extent; the structural body 30 or the first spring section 31 is therefore, particularly with respect to its respective maximum longitudinal extent, typically shorter than the base body 20.

[0092] Based on the Fig. As can be seen from Figures 1-5, the structural body 30 can, for example, have a maximum length dimension that corresponds to at least 50% of the maximum length dimension of the base body 20. The selection of the maximum length dimension of the structural body 30 and / or the degree of overlap of the base body 20 by the structural body 30 also provides a means of specifically influencing the resulting structural properties of the snow gliding device 10. Naturally, the maximum length dimension of the structural body 30 can vary with regard to specific designs of the snow gliding device; for designs of the snow gliding device 10 as a ski, the length dimension of the structural body 30 should be at least 15 cm, e.g., to allow for the proper attachment of a ski binding.

[0093] With regard to the arrangement of the structural body 30 on the upper surface 21 of the base body 20, it is generally possible to arrange the structural body 30 in any region of the upper surface 21 of the base body 20. The choice of the location of the arrangement of a structural body 30 on the upper surface 21 of the base body 20, particularly in combination with a specific length dimension of the structural body 30, also provides a means of selectively influencing the resulting structural properties of the snow gliding device 10.

[0094] Based on the Fig. As can be seen from Figures 1-5, the base body 20 can have, in the longitudinal direction, a first base body section 24 having a first free end, a second base body section 25 having a second free end, and a third base body section 26 arranged between the first and second base body sections 24, 25. The third base body section 26 can, for example, occupy at least 50% of the maximum length dimension of the base body 20. In the exemplary embodiments, the structural body 30 is arranged, by way of example, within or above the third base body section 26 and covers it at least partially, in particular predominantly, and possibly completely.

[0095] The same applies to the width and transverse extent of the structural body 30 and the first spring section 31, respectively, in the width and transverse direction of the snow gliding device 10, i.e., in a direction extending transversely to the longitudinal direction of the snow gliding device 10. Therefore, the dimensions of the structural body 30 and the first spring section 31 in the width and transverse direction, and thus their width and transverse extent, are typically chosen with regard to the dimensions of the base body 20 in the width and transverse direction, and thus its width and transverse extent. The dimensions of the structural body 30 and the first spring section 31 in the width and transverse direction of the snow gliding device 10 are typically smaller than the dimensions of the base body 20 in the width and transverse direction, and thus its width and transverse extent; the structural body 30 and the first spring section 31 are therefore smaller than the dimensions of the base body 20 in the width and transverse direction.The first spring section 31 is therefore, in particular with regard to the respective maximum width or transverse extent, typically narrower than the base body 20.

[0096] As indicated, the structural body 30 can have a geometry defined by at least one longitudinal dimension and at least one width or transverse dimension. The width or transverse dimension of the structural body 30 can be constant along its longitudinal extent or, as shown by way of example in the figures, variable, i.e., decrease and / or increase.

[0097] The figure also shows that the structural body 30 can, in principle, have at least one first region 34, which has a first width or transverse dimension extending in the width or transverse direction of the base body 20, and at least one second region 36, which has a second width or transverse dimension extending in the width or transverse direction of the base body 20 and differing from the first width or transverse dimension. The structural body 30 can therefore have different width or transverse dimensions; the shaping in the width or transverse direction, i.e., in particular the realization of regions of different widths or narrowness, also represents a measure to selectively influence the structural properties of the structural body 30 and thus the resulting structural properties of the snow gliding device 10.

[0098] Specifically, the figures show that the structural body 30 can have a first region 34, which has a first width or transverse dimension extending in the width or transverse direction of the base body 20; at least one second region 36, which may optionally also be designated as a connecting or intermediate web; which has a second width or transverse dimension extending in the width or transverse direction of the base body 20 and smaller than the first width or transverse dimension; and a third region 35, which has a second width or transverse dimension extending in the width or transverse direction of the base body 20 and larger than the second width or transverse dimension. In the exemplary embodiment, the width or transverse dimensions of the first and third regions 34, 35 are (essentially) the same, but could, in principle, also be different.The at least one second area 36 is arranged or formed in the direction of the longitudinal axis A1 of the base body 20 between the first and the third area 34, 35. The structural body 30 can thus have a waist due to three separate, possibly different, width or transverse dimensions; the realization of such a waist, as well as its specific dimensions or shape, represents a measure to selectively influence the structural properties of the structural body 30 and thus the resulting structural properties of the snow gliding device 10.

[0099] It is evident that the first spring section 31 in corresponding embodiments of the structural body 30 with three sections 34-36 can be formed by or encompass the at least one second section 36. Thus, the at least one second section 36 can be convexly curved. The first curvature 32a can therefore be formed by the at least one second section 36. The first and third sections 34, 35, on the other hand, can be flat and form first and second bearing or force application areas or corresponding bearing surfaces 33a, 33b, with which the structural body 30 rests on the upper surface 21 of the base body 20 and via which forces acting on the structural body 30 can be introduced into the base body 20 when the snow gliding device 10 is used.

[0100] It should be noted at this point that the structural body 30 in the embodiment according to the Fig. 1 - 5 can rest directly on the top surface 21 of the base body 20 via corresponding support or force application areas or corresponding support surfaces 33a, 33b; this is, as the embodiment according to Fig. Figure 9 shows, but this is not strictly necessary, because one or more spacer elements 40, e.g., strip-like or -shaped, can be arranged or formed between the structural body 30 and the top surface 21 of the base body 20, so that the structural body 30 does not rest directly on the top surface 21 of the base body 20, but on one or more corresponding spacer elements 40, which rest directly on the top surface 21 of the base body 20. The resulting structural properties of the snow gliding device 10 can also be specifically influenced by the number, dimensions, arrangement, and structural properties of the spacer elements 40. Furthermore, the height and / or angular position of a user relative to the top surface 21 of the base body 20 can be influenced by the dimensions of one or more spacer elements 40 in the vertical direction, i.e., in a direction normal to the top surface 21 of the base body 20.Corresponding spacer elements 40 can therefore have, for example, a height of 1 mm, 2 mm, 3 mm, 4 mm, 5 mm, 6 mm, 7 mm, 8 mm, 9 mm, 10 mm, 11 mm, 12 mm, 13 mm, 14 mm, 15 mm, 16 mm, 17 mm, 18 mm, 19 mm, 20 mm or more. Corresponding spacer elements 40 can, for example, be made of an elastic-springing material or an elastic-springing material structure, which also influences the elastic-springing properties of the snow gliding device 10. Specifically, corresponding spacer elements 40 can, for example, be made of or comprise an elastomeric material; in this way, damping properties can also be generated or influenced, for example, to improve the landing behavior after a jump.

[0101] As mentioned above, the structural body 30 is attached to the base body 20, i.e., in particular to the top surface 21 of the base body 20. The structural body 30 can therefore have at least one first fastening interface 37a, 37b for attaching the structural body 30 to the base body 20. A corresponding first fastening interface 37a, 37b can, for example, be a form-fit, force-fit, and / or material-fit fastening interface, such that the structural body 30 can be attached to the base body 20 via a form-fit, force-fit, and / or material-fit fastening method. Form-fit and / or force-fit fastening methods can, in particular, be a clamping, screw, clamping, or snap-fit ​​fastening; corresponding first fastening interfaces 37a, 37b can therefore, for example, be clamping, screw, clamping, or snap-fit ​​interfaces, such that, for example, at least sectionally, a screw or...Openings through which a screw bolt can pass are to be considered. Material-bonded fastening methods can, in particular, be adhesive or welding fastenings; corresponding first fastening interfaces 37a, 37b can therefore be adhesive or welding interfaces, so that, for example, adhesive or welding surfaces are to be considered.

[0102] In particular, for form-fit and / or force-fit fastening methods, it is important to note that these allow for a fastening of the structural body 30 to the base body 20 that can be released (if necessary, without damage or destruction). Thus, it may be possible to attach the structural body 30, or at least one of it, to the base body 20 in an interchangeable manner. This, in turn, opens up the possibility of equipping the snow gliding device 10 with different structural properties by replacing a first structural body 30 with a second structural body 30 that is configured differently, for example, geometrically or structurally. In this way, it is possible, for example, to configure one and the same base body 20 for users with different driving abilities and / or for different driving situations. For example, for driving situations in which many jumps have to be performed, such as...In a halfpipe, a structural body 30 may be advantageous, which, due to its structural properties and attachment to the top 21 of the base body 20, supports jumps and landings, whereas in driving situations in which many turns have to be made, such as in a snowboard cross, a structural body 30 may be advantageous, which, due to its structural properties and attachment to the top 21 of the base body 20, supports turns.

[0103] As can be seen from the figure, the structural body 30 can have one or more front first fastening interfaces 37a for fastening the structural body 30 to the base body 20, which are arranged or formed in the area of ​​a first or front structural body section facing a first or front free end of the base body 20 (cf. Fig. 4), and may have one or more rear first fastening interfaces 37b for fastening the structural body 30 to the base body 20, which are arranged or formed in the area of ​​a second or rear structural body section facing a second or rear free end of the base body 20 (see Fig. 5).

[0104] Based on Fig. Figure 5 shows that at least one front first fastening interface 37a, namely the elongated fastening interface 37a, can enable the structural body 30 to be mounted in at least one degree of freedom in a plane of movement arranged parallel to the top surface of the base body 20. This front first fastening interface 37a thus allows for a so-called floating mounting or bearing of the structural body 30 on the top surface 21 of the base body 20, which in turn represents a measure to specifically influence the driving characteristics of the snow gliding device 10. Specifically, for example, cornering can be influenced in this way, as additional degrees of freedom are available to the user to initiate and / or absorb forces, for example when performing turns. Alternatively or additionally, the spring or...The restoring properties of the structural body 30 and thus, for example, the take-off and landing behavior are improved in order to initiate and / or absorb forces during the execution of jumps.

[0105] In the exemplary embodiment, a specific combination of two differently configured front fastening interfaces 37a is shown, wherein the fastening interfaces 37a arranged directly in the area of ​​the front free end of the structural body 30 can each fundamentally realize a floating fastening or bearing of the structural body 30 on the top surface 21 of the base body 20, whereas the other two fastening interfaces 37a shown as circles each realize a fixed fastening or bearing of the structural body 30 on the top surface 21 of the base body 20.

[0106] Based on Fig. Figure 5 shows that the rear first fastening interfaces 37b can also enable the structural body 30 to be mounted in at least one degree of freedom in the plane of movement arranged parallel to the upper surface 21 of the base body 20. Thus, a so-called floating mounting or bearing of the structural body 30 on the upper surface 21 of the base body 20 can also be achieved via the rear first fastening interfaces 37b, which is another measure to specifically influence the driving characteristics of the snow gliding device 10. For example, cornering can also be influenced in this way, as additional degrees of freedom are available to the user to initiate and / or absorb forces, for example when performing turns. Alternatively or additionally, the spring or restoring properties of the structural body 30, and thus, for example, the take-off or landing characteristics, can be influenced.Landing behavior can be improved, for example, to initiate and / or absorb forces when performing jumps.

[0107] In the embodiment shown, an exemplary combination of two identically configured rear fastening interfaces 37b is shown, each of which can realize a floating fastening or support of the structural body 30 on the top surface 21 of the base body 20.

[0108] In principle, and thus regardless of the embodiments shown in the figures, it applies that only at least one front or rear first fastening interface 37a, 37b, or optionally all front or rear first fastening interfaces 37a, 37b, can enable the structural body 30 to be movably fastened in at least one degree of freedom in the plane of movement arranged parallel to the top surface 21 of the base body 20, whereas the remaining front or rear first fastening interfaces 37a, 37b are fixed in position and thus not movably fastened to the base body 20 in at least one degree of freedom in the plane of movement arranged parallel to the top surface 21 of the base body 20.

[0109] Returning to the point in the Fig. 4, Fig. In the embodiment shown in Figure 5, the front and rear first mounting interfaces 37a, 37b, which provide a floating mounting or bearing, specifically enable the structural body 30 to be mounted on or to the base body 20 in one translational degree of freedom along a translational axis oriented in the longitudinal direction of the base body 20. The corresponding front and rear first mounting interfaces 37a, 37b, or at least the rear first mounting interfaces 37b, can therefore be displaced relative to the base body 20 along a translational axis oriented in the longitudinal direction of the base body 20. This can be achieved, for example, by means of guide devices arranged on or in the base body 20 and / or the structural body 30, which, as exemplified in the figures, can be designed, for example, as guide slots 38a, 38b, within which, for example,Guide bolts serving as fastening elements 39a, 39b are mounted engaging in these. Corresponding guide slots 38a, 38b can be arranged or formed, e.g., in a straight line or, although not shown, in a curved manner, in a direction parallel to the longitudinal axis of the base body 20 or, although not shown, in an angled arrangement to it, i.e., in particular, an inclined arrangement, on or in the base body 20 or the structural body 30.

[0110] Although not shown, the front and rear first mounting interfaces 37a, 37b, which implement a floating mounting or bearing, can enable the structural body 30 to be mounted on or attached to the base body 20 in at least one rotational degree of freedom along an axis of rotation perpendicular to the plane of movement. At least one front and / or rear first mounting interface 37a, 37b can therefore be pivoted relative to the base body 20 about an axis of rotation perpendicular to the plane of movement. This can also be achieved, for example, by means of guide devices arranged on or in the base body 20 and / or the structural body 30; such guide devices can, in turn, be, for example, guide slots in which, for example, guide bolts serving as fastening elements are mounted.Corresponding guide slots can be arranged or formed, e.g., straight or curved, in a direction parallel to the transverse axis of the base body 20 or in an angled arrangement to it, i.e., in particular an inclined arrangement, on or in the base body 20 or the structural body 30.

[0111] Based on the Fig. 4, Fig. Figure 5 further shows that the front and rear first fastening interfaces 37a, 37b can be specifically arranged or formed, for example, in the bearing surfaces 33a, 33b which form a flat support on the upper surface 21 of the base body 20. In this way, despite the structural body 30 having at least one translational and / or rotational degree of freedom relative to the base body 20, a stable fastening of the structural body 30 to the base body 20 can be achieved.

[0112] Based on the Fig. 4, Fig. Finally, it is evident from Figure 5 that the snow gliding device 10 can have bore-like or bore-shaped, unspecified second attachment interfaces for one or more snowboard bindings, via which a snowboard boot can be attached to the snow gliding device 10. In the exemplary embodiment, the second attachment interfaces are arranged on or in the structural body 30. Thus, in all embodiments, the structural body 30 can have one or more second attachment interfaces for attaching a binding for a user.In particular, the structural body 30 can have several second fastening interfaces for fastening a first bond, which are arranged or formed in the area of ​​a structural body section facing a first free end (front free end) of the base body 20, and can have one or more second fastening interfaces for fastening a second bond, which are arranged or formed in the area of ​​a structural body section facing a second free end (rear free end) of the base body 20.

[0113] Corresponding secondary fastening interfaces can be, for example, form-fit and / or force-fit fastening interfaces, so that a bond can be attached to the structural body 30 via a form-fit and / or force-fit fastening method. In particular, for form-fit and / or force-fit fastening methods, it is important that these enable the bond to be attached to the structural body 30 in a way that is releasable (if necessary, without damage or destruction). Form-fit and / or force-fit fastening methods can, in particular, be clamping, screwing, clamping, or snap-fit ​​fastenings; corresponding fastening interfaces can therefore be, for example, clamping, screwing, clamping, or snap-fit ​​interfaces, so that, for example, openings that can be penetrated by a screw or bolt, at least partially, are possible.

[0114] Based on the exemplary embodiment according to Fig. Figure 6, which shows a cross-section through a corresponding snow gliding device 10 approximately in the region of the middle, shows that the first spring section 31, in addition to the at least one first bulge 32a which, as mentioned, extends in the longitudinal direction of the base body 20, can also have at least one second bulge 32b (transverse bulge) extending in the lateral or transverse direction of the base body 20. The structural body 30 can therefore, at least with regard to the second section 36, be a dome-like or dome-shaped component; consequently, at least the first spring section 31 can be dome-like or dome-shaped due to the bulges in the longitudinal and transverse directions. By forming the first spring section 31 with at least one first bulge 32a extending in the longitudinal direction of the base body and at least one extending in the lateral or transverse direction, the structural body 30 can be designed as a dome-like or dome-shaped component.The second curvature 32b extending in the transverse direction of the base body 20 and the resulting three-dimensional shaping of the structural body 30 is a further measure to specifically influence the structural properties of the structural body 30 and thus the resulting structural properties of the snow gliding device 10.

[0115] The respective first and second curvatures 32a, 32b of the first spring section 31 can be the same or different in their geometric parameters, i.e., in particular their respective radii R; the specific geometric parameters of the respective first and second curvatures 32a, 32b also provide a means to influence the structural properties of the structural body 30 and thus the resulting structural properties of the snow gliding device 10 in a targeted manner.

[0116] Based on the Fig. 7 and Fig. It is evident from Figure 8 that a configuration of at least one structural body 30 with several second areas 36, each separated from one another by at least one gap, is also conceivable. One, several, or all of the second areas 36 can be arranged parallel to the longitudinal axis A1 of the base body 20 (see Figure 8). Fig. 7) Alternatively or additionally, one, several or all second areas 36 can be arranged obliquely to the longitudinal axis A1 of the base body 20 (see Fig. 8) In the two exemplary embodiments, it is also shown that at least two of the several second areas 36 can be arranged parallel to each other. At least two of the several second areas 36 can have the same dimensions in the longitudinal and / or transverse direction or, although not shown, differ in their dimensions. Regardless of their orientation and / or position or their dimensions, the spring area 31 can be formed by or comprise the several second areas 36 separated from each other by the at least one gap. Thus, the number, orientation and / or position, in particular relative to the longitudinal axis of the base body 20 and / or relative to each other, as well as the dimensions of the respective second areas 36, provide a means of selectively influencing the structural properties of the structural body 30 and thus the resulting structural properties of the snow sliding device 10.

[0117] Based on the approximately 20 cross-sectional views taken in the area of ​​the middle of the basic body, according to the Fig. 10, Fig. Figure 11 shows that, in addition to the structural body 30, the base body 20 can also be configured in a special way to improve the resulting structural properties of the snow gliding device 10 and thus its driving characteristics. As mentioned, the base body 20 can have, in the longitudinal direction, a first base body section 24 having a first free end, a second base body section 25 having a second free end, and a third base body section 26, as shown in the figures, arranged between the first and the second base body sections 24, 25, wherein the third base body section 26 has at least one second spring region 27, formed by at least one concave curvature extending in the longitudinal and / or transverse direction of the base body, which has elastic-spring properties.In this embodiment, the second spring section 27 of the base body 20 is formed by a comparatively smaller wall thickness of the base body 20. Specifically, the second spring section 27 of the base body 20 can thus be formed, for example, by a recess extending longitudinally along the base body 20, in particular a trough-like or -shaped depression, and / or, although not shown, by a raised section extending longitudinally along the base body 20. The cross-sectional views show that the recess, in particular the trough-like or -shaped depression, is oriented transversely along the base body 20.

[0118] The length dimension of the depression and / or the elevation must correspond, for example, to at least 50% of the maximum length dimension of the base body 20.

[0119] The width or transverse dimension of the depression and / or elevation can be constant or variable along its longitudinal extent, i.e., decrease and / or increase. Similarly, the depth of the depression and / or the height of the elevation can be constant or variable along its longitudinal extent, i.e., decrease and / or increase. In general, a corresponding depression and / or elevation can therefore have a cross-sectional geometry that is constant or variable in the longitudinal direction.

[0120] How Fig. As shown in Figure 11, a corresponding recess or elevation can also be formed in the upper surface 21 of the base body 20. This can be advantageous because the underside 22 of the base body 20, which is provided with the sliding surface 23 or the driving surface, can then be easily worked on, for example for service and / or repair purposes, as with conventional snow sliding devices.

[0121] Fig. Figure 12 shows a schematic side view of an embodiment of a snow gliding device 10 with several structural bodies 30, each structural body 30 having a corresponding first spring section 31. Each structural body 30 can be separately attached to the base body 20. Each structural body 30 can also have one or more secondary attachment interfaces for a binding.

[0122] For all embodiments, a further measure to selectively influence the structural properties of the structural body 30, and thus the resulting structural properties of the snow gliding device 10, can be implemented by the structural body 30 having one or more influencing structures (not shown) that locally affect the elastic-springing properties in at least one direction, in particular in the longitudinal and / or transverse direction of the base body 20, especially in the form of local stiffeners and / or weakenings. Corresponding local stiffeners can be realized, for example, by geometric-design parameters such as (comparatively) greater wall thicknesses, material accumulations, stiffening geometries such as rib geometries, etc. Similarly, corresponding local weakenings can be achieved, for example, by geometric-design parameters such as...(In comparison) smaller wall thicknesses, material reductions, weakening geometries, such as openings, etc., can be implemented.

[0123] Based on the Fig. 13, Fig. It is finally evident from Figure 14 that the second spring region 27, or the at least one second bulge 27a forming it, can be integrated into the base body 20, at least partially, and optionally completely. In particular, the second spring region 27, or the at least one second bulge 27a forming it, can be formed by a core structure 28 of the base body 20, which has at least one second bulge 27a extending transversely to the base body 20. The second spring region 27 can therefore be formed by a core structure 28 of the base body 20 arranged within the base body 20 between the upper and lower surfaces 21, 22 of the base body 20, which has at least one second bulge 27a extending transversely to the base body 20.

[0124] With regard to the nature of the at least one first curvature 32a and the at least one second curvature 27a, it is possible that these can be designed to be opposite in form. The first spring section 32a can therefore, for example, have at least one convex curvature extending in the longitudinal direction of the base body 20, and the second spring section 27a can have at least one concave curvature extending in the transverse direction of the base body 20. A configuration in which the curvatures 32a and 27a are of the same type is also conceivable in principle; both configurations are illustrated by the following examples. Fig. 13, Fig. 14.

[0125] Specifically, the first spring section 31 can have at least one convex curvature 32a extending in the longitudinal direction of the base body 20, and the second spring section 27 can be formed by a core structure 28 of the base body 20, which has at least one concave curvature extending in the transverse direction of the base body 20. Surprisingly, investigations showed that such a configuration of the snow gliding device 10 exhibited particularly advantageous properties with regard to driving characteristics and behavior.

[0126] Individual, several or features of a first embodiment can be combined with individual, several or all features of at least one further embodiment.
