Mode for Carrying Out the Invention

[0024] A heating member used for a ski board or a snowboard according to a first embodiment of the present invention, a heating method used for a ski board or a snowboard, and a wax penetration method used for a ski board or a snowboard will be described with reference to the drawings.

[0025] More specifically, an embodiment of the present invention relates to a heating member for a sliding surface of a ski board or a snowboard, a heating method for a sliding surface of a ski board or a snowboard, and a wax penetration method for a sliding surface of a ski board or a snowboard (the same applies hereinafter).

[0026] The sliding surface of a ski board or a snowboard means the surface that comes into contact with snow during use and is so-called the "sole surface".

[0027] In the present embodiment, among a ski board and a snowboard, a snowboard will be described as an example, but the present embodiment can also be applied to a ski board.

[0028] As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, a heating member 10 for a sliding surface (sole surface) of a snowboard B of the first embodiment (see FIG. 7; the same applies in the first and second embodiments hereinafter) includes a fabric material 12, a heat insulating material 14 disposed inside the fabric material 12, and a heater 16 disposed inside the fabric material 12 and close to or at least partially in contact with the heat insulating material 14, and the fabric material 12 is configured to house so as to cover the heat insulating material 14 and the heater 16.

[0029] The fabric material 12 is generally formed in, for example, a rectangular or square shape in plan view and is made of, for example, a heat-resistant fabric. For example, nylon fabric is used. The heat-resistant temperature is, for example, 120°C. Further, the fabric material 12 may be formed in a bag shape and configured to accommodate the heat insulating material 14 and the heater 16.

[0030] The heat insulating material 14 is generally formed in a rectangular or square shape in a plan view, and is made of, for example, a high-density urethane material with a thickness dimension of 1 cm or more. In addition to the function of preventing the heat from the heater 16 from escaping to the outside of the fabric material 12, the heat insulating material 14 also has the function of protecting the heater 16 and the snowboard B from external force and impact force.

[0031] The heater 16 is generally formed in a rectangular or square shape in a plan view, and has a configuration in which one or a plurality of units are arranged side by side. As specifications, for example, it is single-phase, has a voltage of 100 volts, a power of 226 watts per sheet, and a current of 2.26 amperes per sheet. A 100-volt power outlet plug 18 is connected to the heater 16. When the power outlet plug 18 is connected to a power source, the heater 16 is heated.

[0032] The heat insulating material 14 and the heater 16 may be in surface contact with each other at a predetermined area, or may be in contact with each other only at a partial area, or may be close to each other with a predetermined gap therebetween. Further, they may be close to each other with a fabric intervening in the predetermined gap between the heat insulating material 14 and the heater 16.

[0033] A thermostat 20 may be arranged between the heater 16 and the heat insulating material 14. The thermostat 20 has a function of stopping (controlling) the heating of the heater 16 when the detected temperature reaches 120°C.

[0034] The heating member 10 houses the fabric material 12 so as to cover the heat insulating material 14 and the heater 16, and is integrally formed as a whole.

[0035] When the heating member 10 is not in use, as shown in FIG. 4, by folding the heating member 10, it becomes a compact form, and the storage space can also be minimized.

[0036] After applying a fixed or semi-fluid wax to the sliding surface of the snowboard B, the snowboard B is placed on the heating member 10 with the heater 16 facing upward on the floor such that the sliding surface of the snowboard B is in surface contact. By elapsing a predetermined time, the sliding surface of the snowboard B is heated by the heat from the heater 16. In particular, since the heater 16 is close to or in contact with the sliding surface of the snowboard B, heat is directly transferred to the sliding surface, and the sliding surface of the snowboard B is heated from the sliding surface to the deep part in the thickness direction of the snowboard B.

[0037] Note that the snowboard B may be placed on the floor with the sliding surface facing upward, and the heating member 10 may be placed on the sliding surface of the snowboard B such that the heater 16 faces the sliding surface of the snowboard B. By elapsing a predetermined time, the sliding surface of the snowboard B is heated by the heat from the heater 16. In particular, since the heater 16 is close to or in contact with the sliding surface of the snowboard B, heat is directly transferred to the sliding surface, and the sliding surface of the snowboard B is heated from the sliding surface to the deep part in the thickness direction of the snowboard B.

[0038] At the same time, the wax on the sliding surface melts due to heating, and the melted wax 5 penetrates deeply and evenly from the pores of the sliding surface. Thereby, the wax can be penetrated evenly and deeply into the sliding surface 3 of the snowboard B with a simple configuration and low cost.

[0039] According to the first embodiment, the temperature of the deep part of the sliding surface of the snowboard B rises sufficiently, and the processing time required for wax penetration is short, so the efficiency of the wax processing work is improved. In addition, the wax effectively penetrates to the deep part of the sliding surface of the snowboard B, and no extra wax to be removed is generated, realizing environmental friendliness. Furthermore, since there is no need to use a dedicated iron, it is possible to prevent the sole surface (sliding surface) of the snowboard B from melting (or burning).

[0040] Next, a heating member used for a snowboard or a ski board according to a second embodiment of the present invention, a heating method used for a snowboard or a ski board, and a wax penetration method used for a snowboard or a ski board will be described with reference to the drawings.

[0041] In the second embodiment, the same reference numerals are given to the configurations overlapping those of the first embodiment, and the description will be appropriately omitted.

[0042] As shown in FIGS. 5 to 7, the heating member 10 for the sliding surface (sole surface) of the snowboard B (see FIG. 7) of the second embodiment includes a base material 12, a heat insulating material 14 disposed inside the base material 12, a heater 16 disposed inside the base material 12 and close to or at least partially in contact with the heat insulating material 14, and a holding member 22 that holds the sliding surface of the snowboard B in contact with or close to the heater. The base material 12 covers the heat insulating material 14 and the heater 16, and both ends of the holding member 22 are exposed from the base material 12.

[0043] Since the base material 12, the heat insulating material 14, and the heater 16 are the same as the configuration of the heating member 10 of the first embodiment, the description thereof will be omitted.

[0044] The heat insulating material 14 and the heater 16 may be in surface contact with each other with a predetermined area, or may be in contact with each other only with a partial area, or may be close to each other with a predetermined gap between the heat insulating material 14 and the heater 16.

[0045] The holding member 22 is formed, for example, in a rectangular shape, and the central portion of the holding member 22 is fixed to the base material 12, and both ends are exposed outward from the edge of the base material 12.

[0046] The holding member 22 may be provided in one or a plurality of divided pieces.

[0047] Both end portions of the holding member 22 are wound around the periphery of the snowboard B and have the function of holding them. Thereby, the proximity or adhesion between the sliding surface of the snowboard B and the heater 16 can be ensured, and heat transfer from the heater 16 to the sliding surface becomes easy. As a result, the heating efficiency for the sliding surface of the snowboard B is increased, and the wax penetration degree into the deep part of the sliding surface is improved.

[0048] Note that engaging portions 24 that engage with each other may be provided at the tip ends of the holding member 22. The engaging portions 24 may be, for example, a buckle, a menphis fastener, or a string-like member in which a male portion and a female portion engage with each other, and are not particularly limited.

[0049] As shown in FIG. 7, when the engaging portions 24 engage with each other, both end portions of the holding member 22 are wound around the periphery of the snowboard B, and the close state between the snowboard B and the heater 16 can be maintained.

[0050] According to the second embodiment, since the close state between the snowboard B and the heater 16 can be maintained, the heat transfer effect from the heater 16 to the sliding surface of the snowboard B is enhanced. As a result, the temperature of the deep part in the thickness direction of the snowboard B sufficiently rises, so that the wax penetration degree for the snowboard B is improved. As a result, the sliding surface of the snowboard B can be protected over a long period of time, and a low friction coefficient value between the sliding surface and the snow surface can be maintained.

[0051] Next, a heating member used for a ski board or a snowboard according to a third embodiment of the present invention, a heating method used for a ski board or a snowboard, and a wax penetration method used for a ski board or a snowboard will be described with reference to the drawings.

[0052] As shown in FIGS. 8 to 11, the heating member 10 used for the sliding surface of the snowboard B (see FIG. 10) according to the third embodiment is a so-called heat case (or heat bag) 26, and includes a base material 28 and a pair of blade members 30A and 30B attached to the base material 28.

[0053] The base material 28 includes a first region portion 32 on which the snowboard B is placed, a second region portion 34 connected to one side in the width direction of the first region portion 32 (horizontal direction in FIG. 8), and a third region portion 36 connected to the other side in the width direction of the first region portion 32 (horizontal direction in FIG. 8).

[0054] Regarding the relationship of the surface areas of the respective region portions, the first region portion 32 and the second region portion 34 have substantially the same area, and the area of the third region portion 36 is set to be smaller than the areas of the first region portion 32 and the second region portion 34, but it is not limited to these size relationships.

[0055] The first region portion 32 is a region on which the snowboard B is placed. Blade members 30A and 30B are respectively attached to the upper side (one side edge portion) and the lower side (the other side edge portion) of the first region portion 32. The pair of blade members 30A and 30B are formed in a predetermined rectangle or square, etc., and have a predetermined area.

[0056] The first region portion 32 includes a housing portion 42 for housing the heater 38. The housing portion 42 may be formed in a bag shape, for example.

[0057] As shown in FIGS. 8 and 9, the first region portion 32 is attached with an insertion portion 40 for inserting a power plug (not shown in FIGS. 8 to 12) connected to the heater 38. The insertion portion 40 is formed in a tunnel shape, and a power plug can pass through its interior.

[0058] In a state where the snowboard B is placed on the first region portion 32 such that the sliding surface of the snowboard B contacts or is close to the heater 38, the pair of blade members 30A and 30B, the second region portion 34, and the third region portion 36 can be bent so as to be close to or at least partially contact the deck surface of the snowboard B (meaning the surface opposite to the sliding surface) at the boundary line with the first region portion 32.

[0059] Also, as shown in FIG. 10, a first locking device 44 is provided to maintain a state in which a pair of blade members 30A and 30B are bent with respect to the first region portion 32 so as to be in proximity to or at least partially in contact with a snowboard B placed on the first region portion 32.

[0060] The first locking device 44 is, for example, a tape-shaped member having a male part and a female part of a buckle at both ends, and the locking function by the first locking device 44 is realized by the engagement of the male part and the female part. The configuration of the first locking device 44 only needs to be such that the two can be engaged or locked, and is not limited to this configuration. Note that the first locking device 44 shown in FIG. 10 is one, but a plurality of two or more may be used.

[0061] Also, as shown in FIG. 11, a second locking device 46 is provided to maintain a bent state in which the second region portion 34 and the third region portion 36 are in proximity to or at least partially in contact with a snowboard B placed on the first region portion 32.

[0062] The second locking device 46 is, for example, a tape-shaped member having a male part and a female part of a buckle at both ends, and the locking function by the second locking device 46 is realized by the engagement of the male part and the female part. The configuration of the second locking device 46 only needs to be such that the two can be engaged or locked, and is not limited to this configuration. Note that the second locking device 46 shown in FIG. 11 is four, but a plurality of one to three or five or more may be used.

[0063] As shown in FIG. 11, the second locking device 46 includes a gripping portion 48. The gripping portion 48 is a portion that a user grabs and holds, and is formed in a handle shape or a ring shape. This facilitates the transportation of the heat case 26. In a configuration in which a plurality of second locking devices 46 are used, it is preferable that at least one of the second locking devices 46 is provided with the gripping portion 48, but all of the second locking devices 46 may be provided with the gripping portion 48.

[0064] Here, the cross-sectional structure of the heat case 26 used for the sliding surface of the snowboard B (see FIG. 10) according to the third embodiment will be described.

[0065] As shown in FIG. 12, the first region portion 32 of the base material 28 is formed as a six-layer laminated structure including a nylon fabric 50, a heater 38, a silicon glass cloth 52, an aluminum fabric 54, a high-density urethane core 56 with a thickness dimension of 2 cm, and a polyester coating 58, in this order from the surface side where the sliding surface of the snowboard B contacts. For this reason, the heater 38 is disposed in the space portion formed by the nylon fabric 50 and the aluminum fabric 54. The nylon fabric 50 is configured such that the sliding surface of the snowboard B is close to or at least partially in contact therewith.

[0066] The pair of blade members 30A and 30B are formed as a three-layer laminated structure including an aluminum fabric 60, a high-density urethane core 62 with a thickness dimension of 1 cm, and an aluminum fabric 60, in the same order as the first region portion 32.

[0067] The second region portion 34 is formed as a two-layer laminated structure including an aluminum fabric 64 and a polyester coating 66, in the same order as the first region portion 32.

[0068] Next, a method of storing the snowboard B in the heat case 26 will be described.

[0069] As shown in FIG. 8, the first region portion 32, the second region portion 34, the third region portion 36 of the heat case 26, and the pair of blade members 30A and 30B are opened with respect to each other.

[0070] Next, the snowboard B (not shown in FIG. 8) is placed on the first region portion 32 such that the sliding surface of the snowboard B is in surface contact therewith.

[0071] Next, as shown in FIG. 10, the pair of blade members 30A and 30B are bent along the boundary line of the first region portion 32 and brought into surface contact with the deck surface of the snowboard B.

[0072] With a pair of blade members 30A and 30B in surface contact on the deck surface of the snowboard B, the first locking tool 44 is wound around the first region portion 32 and the outer peripheries of the pair of blade members 30A and 30B, and both end portions of the first locking tool 44 are engaged with each other. Thereby, it is possible to maintain a state in which the snowboard B is interposed between the first region portion 32 and the pair of blade members 30A and 30B.

[0073] Next, the third region portion 36 which is a short side is bent along the boundary line of the first region portion 32 and brought into surface contact with the deck surface of the snowboard B. Subsequently, the second region portion 34 which is a long side is bent along the boundary line of the first region portion 32 and brought into surface contact with the deck surface of the snowboard B. At this time, a part of the region of the second region portion 34 and the third region portion 36 may overlap with each other.

[0074] With the second region portion 34 and the third region portion 36 in surface contact on the deck surface of the snowboard B, the second locking tool 46 is wound around the outer peripheries of the first region portion 32, the second region portion 34, and the third region portion 36, and both end portions of the second locking tool 46 are engaged with each other. Thereby, it is possible to maintain a state in which the snowboard B is interposed between the first region portion 32 and the second region portion 34 and between the first region portion 32 and the third region portion 36.

[0075] Through the above steps, the snowboard B is wound around the heat case 26 and is finally completely accommodated in the sealed space inside the heat case 26.

[0076] Next, a method of heating the sliding surface of the snowboard B stored in the heat case 26 will be described.

[0077] As shown in FIGS. 10 and 12, the sliding surface of the snowboard B is in contact with the heater 38 through the nylon fabric 50 of the first region portion 32. When the power plug connected to the heater 38 is inserted into the power supply, the heater 38 is heated. At this time, the heat of the heater 38 is transferred to the sliding surface of the snowboard B through the nylon fabric 50. Thereby, the heat is transmitted to the sliding surface of the snowboard B and deep inside the snowboard B.

[0078] Particularly, since the sliding surface of the snowboard B is close to or in contact with the heater 38, the heat transfer effect from the heater 38 to the sliding surface of the snowboard B is enhanced, and the sliding surface of the snowboard B can be effectively heated.

[0079] Since a solid or semi-fluid wax is preliminarily applied to the sliding surface of the snowboard B, the wax melts when heat is transferred thereto. The melted wax penetrates from the fine portions on the sliding surface to the deep side inside the snowboard B. As a result, the wax sufficiently penetrates not only the sliding surface of the snowboard B but also the deep part of the snowboard B.

[0080] Particularly, the snowboard B is sandwiched between the first region portion 32 and the second region portion 34, between the first region portion 32 and the third region portion 36, and between the first region portion 32 and the blade members 30A and 30B, forming a sealed space blocked from the outside air of the heat case 26. Therefore, the heat of the heater 38 does not escape from the outside of the heat case 26 into the atmosphere and remains in the sealed space.

[0081] In addition, since the sliding surface of the snowboard B is close to or in surface contact with the heater 38, the heat of the heater 38 directly transfers to the sliding surface of the snowboard B without escaping to the outside of the heat case 26 and without radiating heat into the space during heat transfer. Thereby, the heating effect on the sliding surface of the snowboard B can be significantly improved.

[0082] From the above, according to the present embodiment, the temperature of the deep part of the sliding surface of the snowboard B sufficiently rises, the processing time required for wax penetration is short, and the efficiency of the wax processing operation is improved. Also, the wax effectively penetrates over the deep part of the sliding surface of the snowboard B, and no excess wax to be discarded is generated. Furthermore, since there is no need to use a dedicated iron, it is possible to prevent the sole surface (sliding surface) of the snowboard B from melting (or burning).

[0083] Note that the above-described embodiment is not limited to the use for the sliding surface of the snowboard B, and for example, it can be used for the applications of heating and wax penetration for the sliding surface of a ski board.
