Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a snow sliding device for sliding on snow, comprising a board-like or board-shaped base body that forms a longitudinal axis and has an upper surface and a lower surface, the base body having a sliding surface on its lower surface for sliding on snow. [Background technology]

[0002] Said snowboards are basically known from the prior art in various configurations, e.g., as snowboards, skis or snow skates, and are constantly undergoing new developments in order to provide the user with the best possible sliding characteristics. The improvement of the running characteristics of the corresponding snowboards forms the basis for the execution of simple and / or difficult maneuvers, such as turns, jumps, grinds, etc., depending on the skill level of the user.

[0003] Although there are various snowboarding devices that basically meet the needs of both beginners and experienced snowboarders, further improvements in the sliding characteristics are desired in order to further improve the sliding experience for both beginners and experienced snowboarders, for example with regard to the execution of certain sliding movements. Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] Based on this, the present invention aims to provide an improved snowboarding device for sliding on snow. [Means for solving the problem]

[0005] This object is achieved by a snow skating device according to independent claim 1, the dependent claims relating to possible embodiments of the snow skating device of independent claim 1.

[0006] A first aspect of the present invention relates to a snowboarding device for sliding on snow. The snowboarding device is therefore essentially a device that allows a user to glide on snow in a controlled manner, at least with appropriate training. In intended use, the user typically stands with at least one foot on the snowboarding device, and for this purpose, the snowboarding device has at least one fastening joint for a binding, as will be explained in more detail below, that is configured to fasten a boot, such as a snowboard boot or a ski boot, to the snowboarding device.

[0007] Specific embodiments of the snow gliding devices described herein are snowboards, skis, or snow skates, and therefore the snow gliding devices described herein may be configured as, for example, snowboards, skis, or snow skates.

[0008] The snowboard comprises a board-like or board-shaped substrate defining a longitudinal or longitudinal and a transverse or lateral axis and having an upper surface and a lower surface. The substrate may also be referred to or considered as a baseboard. The substrate has a core material or core material structure formed from any single-layer or multi-layer sandwich-like core material or any single-layer or multi-layer sandwich-like core material structure, and the corresponding core material may be or comprise, for example, wood, resin, metal, or a composite material such as a fiber composite, and the corresponding core material structure may be or comprise, for example, wood, resin, metal, or a composite material such as a fiber composite.

[0009] A sliding surface or a surface for sliding on snow, sometimes referred to as a "base", is arranged or formed at least partially, particularly entirely, on the underside of the substrate. Thus, the underside of the substrate is at least partially, particularly entirely, provided with a sliding surface or a base for sliding on snow. The corresponding sliding surface or corresponding running surface can be made of, for example, graphite, a resin, particularly a polyethylene-based resin, or a metal, or can comprise at least one of the aforementioned materials.

[0010] At least one structure is provided on the upper surface of the base body. The at least one structure comprises at least one first elastic region having elastic recovery, the first elastic region being formed by at least one first curvature (longitudinal curvature) extending in the longitudinal direction of the base body. The snowboarding device thus comprises a configuration with a corresponding base body, on the upper surface of which at least one separate or independent structure is provided, the structure being formed by or comprising at least one first elastic region having elastic recovery, the at least one first elastic region being formed by at least one first curvature extending in the longitudinal direction of the base body. The snowboarding device thus comprises a configuration with at least one structure provided on the base body, i.e., on the upper surface of the base body, the at least one structure being formed by at least one first elastic region having elastic recovery and having an elastic recovery force when a corresponding load or force is applied, the first elastic region being formed by at least one first curvature extending in the longitudinal direction of the base body.

[0011] The at least one structure, ie in particular the at least one first elastic region, may be designated or considered as a first elastic body due to its elastic recovery.

[0012] The at least one first curvature is typically a convex curvature, so that the at least one structure has an outwardly curved surface, particularly relative to the upper surface of the base, due at least to the first elastic region formed by the at least one first curvature, and therefore the snow slide is taller than conventional snow slides, at least as far as the maximum extension height is concerned.

[0013] The at least one structure may in principle be formed from the same material or material structure as the substrate, i.e. in particular as the core or core structure of the substrate, and therefore may differ from the substrate in particular in its geometric structure, i.e. in particular in the at least one first curvature. Alternatively, the at least one structure may be formed from a different material or material structure than the substrate, i.e. in particular as the core or core structure of the substrate, and therefore may differ from the substrate not only in its geometric structure, i.e. in particular in the at least one first curvature, but also by its "material properties".

[0014] Preferably, the at least one structure, in particular the at least one first elastic region, is formed from an elastically resilient material or an elastically resilient material structure, in particular a multi-layer elastically resilient material structure. In particular, the at least one structure, in particular the at least one first elastic region, may be formed from wood, plastic, metal or a composite material, such as a fiber composite, and configurations with single-layer or multi-layer material structures including wood, plastic, metal or a composite material, such as a fiber composite, are also contemplated.

[0015] The at least one first curvature forming the at least one first elastic region of the at least one structure is characterized by a radius extending in the longitudinal direction of the base body, and the at least one structure is in principle different from the base body in particular in terms of radius, since the base body does not have a radius. The radius can be, for example, in the range of 1750 mm to 1950 mm, in particular in the range of 1800 mm to 1900 mm. Tests have shown that a radius of 1825 mm to 1875 mm, in particular about 1855 mm, is advantageous for women's designs, and a radius of 1875 mm to 1915 mm, in particular about 1895 mm, is advantageous for men's designs.

[0016] The at least one structure may be configured, for example, in the form of a web. In particular, the at least one structure may be formed, for example, by at least one single-layer or multi-layer board having a corresponding first curvature extending in the longitudinal direction of the substrate and thus having a corresponding first elastic region, or by at least one single-layer or multi-layer plate having a corresponding first curvature extending in the longitudinal direction of the substrate and thus having a corresponding first elastic region. Thus, the at least one structure may be formed, at least in part, in particular for the most part, or if necessary entirely, by a board having a curvature or bulge extending in the longitudinal direction of the substrate and thus having a board-like or board-shaped geometry, or the at least one structure may be formed, at least in part, in particular for the most part, or if necessary entirely, by a plate having a curvature or bulge extending in the longitudinal direction of the substrate and thus having a plate-like or plate-shaped geometry.

[0017] Regardless of the particular shape of the at least one structure or first elastic region, the structure may be attached or fixed to the base, i.e. in particular to its upper surface, via one or more fixing points or regions, in particular via one or more first fixing points or regions and one or more second fixing points or regions, as follows:

[0018] The construction of the at least one structure with a plurality of corresponding boards or plates is also conceivable, for example arranged adjacent to one another, behind one another and / or on top of one another. The at least one structure may thus have a plurality of corresponding boards or plates arranged adjacent to one another, behind one another and / or on top of one another, possibly stacked, in order to affect in particular its structural properties, i.e. in particular its elastic resilience and rigidity.

[0019] However, the snowboard is characterized in that the at least one structure arranged on the upper surface of the base not only has at least one first elastic region formed by at least one first curvature extending in the longitudinal direction of the base and having elastic recovery, but also that the base has at least one second elastic region formed by at least one second curvature extending in the transverse direction of the base, having elastic recovery. Consequently, the base also comprises at least one elastic region (second elastic region) formed by at least one curvature (second curvature) and having elastic recovery, which, in contrast to the at least one first curvature, does not extend in the longitudinal or longitudinal direction of the base, but in the transverse or lateral direction of the base. The extension directions of the at least one first curvature of the structure and the at least one second curvature of the base are therefore perpendicular to each other, resulting in the special structural properties of the snowboard as a whole, namely, in particular, elastic recovery.

[0020] By providing at least one corresponding structure on the upper surface of the base body and at least one second elastic region in a portion of the base body, for example, the snowboard can be given a certain elasticity, particularly elasticity and stiffness in the direction normal to the upper surface of the base body, and particularly stiffness in the longitudinal and / or transverse axes of the base body, which can significantly influence the structural properties of the snowboard, i.e., in particular its elastic recovery and stiffness, and thus also its sliding characteristics or behavior. The elasticity and stiffness achieved by at least one first curvature in a portion of the structure and at least one second curvature in a portion of the base body offer various advantages to both inexperienced and experienced users. In order to synergistically realize the special properties of the snowboard, it is essential that at least one first curvature in a portion of the structure, and thus the first elastic region, coincide with at least one second curvature in a portion of the base, and thus the second elastic region, and vice versa. Thus, at least one first curvature of a part of the structure, and thus the geometrical properties of the first elastic region, are selected taking into account at least one second curvature, and thus the geometrical properties of the second elastic region, and vice versa, so that special structural properties of the snowboard, i.e., in particular special elastic resilience and special stiffness, are synergistically realized.

[0021] The structural properties of the snowboard thus result from the combination of the geometric and structural properties of the base and at least one structure provided on its upper surface. The construction of a snowboard with at least one structure provided on the upper surface of the base therefore provides significantly improved gliding properties compared to conventionally constructed snowboards, with regard to the achievable structural properties—by which, as mentioned above, we mean in particular the specific elasticity and stiffness, and thus the specific bending or torsional properties in the longitudinal and / or transverse direction of the base—as well as the resulting gliding properties of the snowboard. The improved gliding properties of the snowboard can further have a positive effect on the execution of certain gliding movements. The snowboard may therefore have, for example, more "pop" and / or "flex" than a conventional snowboard, and in either case the "pop" and / or "flex" of the snowboard, as this applies particularly to snowboards, may be influenced in particular by the interaction of the base body with the second elastic region and at least one structure provided on the upper surface of the base body with the first elastic region, i.e., the interaction of the first elastic region and the second elastic region configured to match each other.

[0022] In addition to the combination of the respective structural characteristics of the base and the at least one structure, aspects such as the specific dimensions of the at least one structure, especially relative to the dimensions of the base, the shape of the at least one structure, the orientation and / or position of the at least one structure relative to the base, and the number, size and arrangement of the contact surfaces of the at least one structure on the base, are also important for the structural and handling characteristics obtained with the snow gliding device. Consequently, the described configuration of the snow gliding device also makes it possible to influence the structural and gliding characteristics obtained with the snow gliding device not only by the respective structural characteristics but also, especially, by the other aspects mentioned above.

[0023] As will be seen below, in intended use, the user typically stands on at least one structure rather than on the substrate. Thus, the snowboarding device configuration allows the user to stand higher than in conventional configurations, which may also have a positive effect on the gliding characteristics.

[0024] In a specific embodiment, the interaction between the base body including at least one second elastic region and the structure including at least one first elastic region disposed or attached to its upper surface can result in the snowboard device having a special twisting or torsional behavior. For example, the special twisting or torsional behavior of the snowboard device allows it to twist around the longitudinal axis of the base body or up to 45° relative to the longitudinal axis. The at least one structure can function as an additional lever, particularly for performing certain maneuvers such as cornering, jibs, jumps, and grinds. This is a result, for example, of the fact that the snowboard device configuration allows the user to correct the inclination during sliding, for example, by "pulling" it back to its original position. Because the user, as described above, usually does not stand on the base body but instead stands high on the at least one structure, cornering control is also facilitated or assisted, allowing cornering or corresponding turns to be initiated with less force. The snowboard device configuration thus includes a kind of "power steering," which is easier for inexperienced users to learn and improves the sliding experience.

[0025] Overall, a snow slide system for sliding on snow has been improved. The at least one structure, particularly the at least one first elastic region, typically has elastic resilience against forces, particularly gravity forces, acting in the direction of or on the upper surface of the base body. The elastic resilience is typically due to the at least one first curvature. Thus, the first elastic region formed by the at least one first curvature acts like a leaf spring or endows the structure with leaf spring properties. Therefore, the elastic resilience of the at least one structure, particularly the at least one first elastic region, can be adjusted not only by the elastic resilience of the material forming the at least one structure or the material structure forming the at least one structure, but also by the specific geometric structure, particularly the radius, of the at least one first curvature.

[0026] Similarly, the at least one second elastic region may have elastic resilience with respect to forces, particularly gravitational forces, acting in the direction of or on the upper surface of the base. The elastic resilience is typically due to the at least one second curvature. The at least one second elastic region formed by the at least one second curvature can therefore act like a leaf spring or give the base the properties of a leaf spring. The elastic resilience of the at least one second elastic region can therefore be adjusted not only by the elastic resilience of the material forming the base or the material structure forming the base, but also by the specific geometry of the at least one second curvature, i.e., in particular the radius.

[0027] Between the upper surface of the base body and the at least one elastic region formed by the at least one structure, in particular the at least one first curvature, there is typically formed a free space that is curved in the longitudinal direction of the base body, in particular a free space that is arch-shaped or bow-shaped in the longitudinal direction and possibly dome-shaped or dome-shaped in three dimensions. The dimensions of the free space, i.e. in particular the maximum distance of the free space from the upper surface of the base body or the maximum height of the free space defined by the dimensions of the at least one first curvature, can affect, for example, the damping properties or damping behavior of the at least one structure and therefore the sliding properties of the snowboard device.

[0028] In particular, the free space may have a maximum distance or height relative to the upper surface of the base of, for example, 10 cm, in particular 9 cm, more particularly 8 cm, even more particularly 7 cm, even more particularly 6 cm, even more particularly 5 cm, even more particularly 4 cm, even more particularly 3 cm, even more particularly 2 cm, even more particularly 1 cm. As will be seen below, the maximum distance or height of the free space can be changed, in particular under a corresponding load, for example by changing the arrangement of one or more front first fixing points or areas of the at least one structure relative to one or more rear first fixing points or areas, or vice versa, on the upper surface of the base. If necessary, this is also supported by a floating fixing or mounting of the at least one structure on the base, as will be explained in more detail below.

[0029] The dimensions of the at least one structure or the at least one first elastic region in the longitudinal direction of the snowboard device, and therefore its longitudinal extension, are typically selected relative to the dimensions of the longitudinal base body and therefore its longitudinal extension. The dimensions of the at least one structure or the at least one first elastic region in the longitudinal direction of the snowboard device, and therefore its longitudinal extension, are typically smaller than the dimensions of the longitudinal base body and therefore its longitudinal extension, and the at least one structure or the at least one first elastic region is therefore typically shorter than the base body, especially for each maximum longitudinal extension.

[0030] For example, the at least one structure can have a maximum linear dimension that corresponds to at least 15%, particularly at least 20%, more particularly at least 25%, particularly at least 30%, more particularly at least 35%, even more particularly at least 40%, even more particularly at least 45%, even more particularly at least 50%, even more particularly at least 55%, even more particularly at least 60%, even more particularly at least 65%, even more particularly at least 70%, even more particularly at least 75%, even more particularly at least 80%, even more particularly at least 85%, even more particularly at least 90%, and even more particularly at least 95% of the maximum linear dimension of the base. Selection of the maximum linear dimension of the at least one structure and / or the extent to which the base is covered by the at least one structure also provides a means for influencing the structural properties obtained in particular in the snow gliding device. Of course, the maximum linear dimension of the at least one structure can vary depending on the specific design of the snow gliding device. In the case of a design of the snowboarding device as a ski, the length dimension of at least one structure should be at least 15 cm, for example, to allow for the intended attachment of a ski binding.

[0031] The positioning of the at least one structure on the upper surface of the base body applies in principle to the positioning of the at least one structure in any area of ​​the upper surface of the base body. The selection of the location of the at least one structure on the upper surface of the base body, especially in combination with the specific length dimension of the at least one structure, also provides a means for influencing the structural properties of the snowboard.

[0032] In the longitudinal direction, the substrate can have a first substrate portion having a first free end, a second substrate portion having a second free end, and a third substrate portion disposed between the first and second substrate portions. The third substrate portion can, for example, occupy at least 25%, particularly at least 30%, more particularly at least 35%, even more particularly at least 40%, even more particularly at least 45%, even more particularly at least 50%, even more particularly at least 55%, even more particularly at least 60%, even more particularly at least 65%, even more particularly at least 70%, even more particularly at least 75%, even more particularly at least 80%, even more particularly at least 85%, even more particularly at least 90%, and even more particularly at least 95% of the maximum longitudinal dimension of the substrate. At least one structure can be disposed within or above the third substrate portion and can at least partially, particularly mostly, or even entirely cover the third substrate portion.

[0033] The same applies to the widthwise or transverse extension of the at least one structure or at least one first elastic region in the widthwise or transverse direction of the snowboard, i.e., in the direction of extension of the snowboard transversely relative to the longitudinal direction of the snowboard. Consequently, the widthwise or transverse dimension of the at least one structure or at least one first elastic region, and therefore its widthwise or transverse extension, is typically selected relative to the widthwise or transverse dimension of the base body, and therefore its widthwise or transverse extension. Since the dimension of the at least one structure or at least one first elastic region in the widthwise or transverse direction of the snowboard is typically smaller than the dimension of the base body in the widthwise or transverse direction, and therefore its widthwise or transverse extension, the at least one structure or at least one first elastic region is typically narrower than the base body, especially in relation to the respective maximum widthwise or transverse extension.

[0034] The dimensions of the at least one second elastic region in the transverse or transverse direction, and therefore its transverse or transverse extension, can also be selected relative to the dimensions of the base body in the transverse or transverse direction, and therefore its transverse or transverse extension. The dimensions of the at least one second elastic region in the transverse or transverse direction of the snowboard device can correspond to the dimensions of the base body in the transverse or transverse direction, and therefore its transverse or transverse extension. However, since the dimensions of the at least one second elastic region in the transverse or transverse direction of the snowboard device are considered to be smaller than the dimensions of the base body in the transverse or transverse direction, and therefore its transverse or transverse extension, the at least second elastic region is narrower than the base body, particularly in relation to the respective maximum width or transverse extension.

[0035] As indicated, the at least one structure or at least one first elastic region may have a geometric shape defined by at least one length dimension and at least one width or short dimension. The width or short dimension of the at least one structure or at least one first elastic region may be constant or variable, i.e., decreasing and / or increasing, along its longitudinal extension. The same applies to the at least one second elastic region, so that the width or short dimension of the at least one second elastic region may be constant or variable, i.e., decreasing and / or increasing, along its longitudinal extension.

[0036] The at least one structure or the at least one first elastic region can in principle have at least one first region with a first width or transverse dimension extending in the transverse or transverse direction of the base body and at least one second region with a second width or transverse dimension extending in the transverse or transverse direction of the base body and different from the first width dimension. The at least one structure or the at least one first elastic region can therefore have different widths or transverse dimensions, and the formation in the transverse or transverse direction, i.e. the realization of regions of different width or narrowness in particular, also represents a means for influencing in particular the structural properties of the at least one structure and thus the structural properties obtained in the snowboard device.

[0037] In particular, the at least one structure or at least one first elastic region may have at least one first region having a first width or transverse dimension extending in the transverse or transverse direction of the base body; at least one second region, also designated as a connecting web or intermediate web, extending in the transverse or transverse direction of the base body and having a second width or transverse dimension smaller than the first width or transverse dimension; and at least one third region extending in the transverse or transverse direction of the base body and having a second width or transverse dimension smaller than the first width or transverse dimension. The width or transverse dimensions of the first and third regions may be the same or different. The at least one second region may be arranged or formed along the longitudinal axis of the base body between the first and third regions. Thus, the at least one structure has at least one constriction with three distinct, possibly different, width or transverse dimensions. The realization of the at least one corresponding constriction and its specific dimensions or shape also represents a means for influencing the structural properties of the at least one structure and, therefore, the structural properties obtained in the snowboard. This applies in particular to the design of snowboards or skis.

[0038] In a corresponding embodiment of the at least one structure having three regions, the at least one first elastic region may be formed by or comprise the at least one second region. As a result, the at least one second region has a convex curve. Thus, the at least one first curve may be formed by the at least one second region. In contrast, each of the first and third regions may be flat. Each of the first and third regions may form a first and second support or force introduction region or corresponding support surface, by which the at least one structure rests on the upper surface of the base and by which forces acting on the at least one structure can be introduced into the base during use of the snow sliding device.

[0039] In principle, the at least one second elastic region can have at least one first region with a first width or transverse dimension extending in the transverse or transverse direction of the base body and at least one second region with a second width or transverse dimension extending in the transverse or transverse direction of the base body and different from the first width dimension. The at least one second elastic region can therefore have different widths or transverse dimensions. The transverse or transverse configuration, i.e., the realization of regions of different widths or narrower widths, also represents a means for influencing, in particular, the structural properties of the base body and thus of the resulting snowboard.

[0040] In particular, the at least one second elastic region may comprise at least one first region having a first width or transverse dimension extending in the transverse or transverse direction of the base body; at least one second region, which may also be referred to as a connecting web or intermediate web, extending in the transverse or transverse direction of the base body and having a second width or transverse dimension smaller than the first width or transverse dimension; and a third region, which extends in the transverse or transverse direction of the base body and has a second width or transverse dimension smaller than the first width or transverse dimension. The width or transverse dimensions of the first and third regions may be the same or different. The at least one second region may be arranged or formed along the longitudinal axis of the base body between the first and third regions. The base body may therefore have at least one constriction with three distinct, possibly different, width or transverse dimensions. The realization of at least one corresponding constriction, and its specific size or shape, also represents a means for influencing, in particular, the structural properties of the base body and, therefore, the resulting structural properties of the snowboard. This also applies in particular to the design of snowboards or skis.

[0041] In this respect, it should be noted that, generally, the at least one structure can be placed directly on the upper surface of the base via a corresponding support or force application area or corresponding support surface, but this is not absolutely necessary; the at least one structure can be placed not directly on the upper surface of the base, but on one or more corresponding spacer elements that are placed directly on the upper surface of the base, thereby arranging or forming one or more spacers, e.g., strips or strips, between the at least one structure and the upper surface of the base. As a result, the structural characteristics of the snowboarding device can be influenced, in particular, by the number, dimensions, arrangement, and structural characteristics of the spacer elements. The height and / or angular position of the user relative to the upper surface of the base can also be influenced by the dimensions of the one or more spacer elements in the height direction, i.e., perpendicular to the upper surface of the base. The corresponding spacer elements may 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. The corresponding spacer elements may, for example, be made of an elastically resilient material or an elastically resilient material structure, and may influence the elasticity of the snowboard. The corresponding spacer elements may, for example, be made of or comprise an elastomer material, which may generate or influence damping properties, for example, improving landing behavior after a jump.

[0042] It is also possible to configure at least one structure with multiple second regions, each separated from the other by at least one gap. One, any, or all of the second regions can be arranged parallel to the longitudinal axis of the base body. Alternatively or additionally, one, any, or all of the second regions can be arranged obliquely relative to the longitudinal axis of the base body. At least two of the multiple second regions can be arranged parallel to one another. At least two of the multiple second regions can have the same or different dimensions in the longitudinal and / or transverse directions. Regardless of their direction and / or position or dimensions, at least one elastic region can be formed by or comprise multiple second regions separated from one another by at least one gap. Consequently, the number, direction, and / or position, particularly the dimensions of each second region relative to the longitudinal axis of the base body and / or relative to one another, also provide a means for influencing the structural properties of the at least one structure and, therefore, the resulting snowboard. This also applies to the design of snowboards, particularly as snowboards or skis.

[0043] In addition to the at least one first curvature extending in the longitudinal direction of the base body as described above, the at least one first elastic region can have at least one further curvature (transverse curvature) extending in the transverse or transverse direction of the base body. The at least one structure, at least insofar as the second region is concerned, is of a dome-like or dome-shaped configuration, so that the at least one first elastic region is dome-like or dome-shaped due to its longitudinal and transverse curvatures. The three-dimensional formation of the at least one structure by forming the at least one first elastic region with the at least one first curvature extending in the longitudinal direction of the base body and the at least one further curvature extending in the transverse or transverse direction of the base body provides a further means for influencing the structural properties of the at least one structure, and thus of the snowboard.

[0044] The first and further curves of the at least one first elastic region may have similar or different geometric parameters, i.e. in particular their respective radii, and the specific geometric parameters of each first and further curve also provide a means for influencing in particular the structural properties of the at least one structure and thus the structural properties obtained in the snow sliding device.

[0045] In addition to the at least one second curvature extending in the transverse direction of the base body as described above, the at least one second elastic region may have at least one further curvature extending in the longitudinal direction of the base body (longitudinal curvature). The at least one second elastic region, at least insofar as the second region is concerned, has a dome-like or dome-shaped configuration, so that the at least one second elastic region is dome-like or dome-shaped due to its longitudinal and transverse curvatures. Forming at least one second elastic region with at least one first curvature extending in the longitudinal direction of the base body and at least one further curvature extending in the transverse or transverse direction of the base body, thereby providing a further means for forming the at least one second elastic region three-dimensionally and influencing, in particular, the structural properties of the base body and, therefore, of the snowboard.

[0046] The first and further curvatures of the at least one second elastic region may be identical or different in their geometric parameters, i.e. in particular in their respective radii. The specific geometric parameters of each first and further curvature also provide a means for influencing in particular the structural properties of the base body and thus of the resulting snowboard.

[0047] As mentioned above, the at least one structure is typically fixed to a substrate, particularly to the upper surface of the substrate. Therefore, the at least one structure may have at least one first fastening joint that fastens the at least one structure to the substrate. The corresponding first fastening joint may be, for example, a form-fit and / or force-fit and / or material-fit fastening joint, thereby fastening the at least one structure to the substrate using a form-fit and / or force-fit and / or material-fit fastening method. Positive and / or non-positive fastening may be achieved, in particular, by clamping, screwing, pulling, or latching. Therefore, the corresponding fastening joint may be, for example, a clamping, screwing, pulling, or latching fastening joint, thereby considering an opening at least partially penetrated by a screw or screw bolt. Therefore, the corresponding fastening joint may be considered as an adhesive interface or a welding interface, for example, a bonding surface or a welding surface.

[0048] In particular, the geometrically and / or force-fitting type applies when at least one structure can be fixed to the base in a removable manner, possibly without damage or destruction. Therefore, at least one structure can be attached to the base in an exchangeable manner, which opens up the possibility of providing snowboarding devices with different structural characteristics by replacing a first structure with a second structure, e.g., with a geometrically and structurally different configuration. This allows, for example, configuring one and the same base for users with different gliding abilities and / or for different gliding situations. For example, in gliding situations where many jumps must be completed, such as half-pipes, a structure that supports jumps and landings is advantageous due to its structural characteristics and attachment to the base's upper surface. Meanwhile, in gliding situations where many turns must be completed, such as snowboard cross, a structure that supports turns is advantageous due to its structural characteristics and attachment to the base's upper surface.

[0049] In particular, the at least one structure has at least one front first fixing joint for fixing the at least one structure to the base, the front first fixing joint being arranged or formed in the area of ​​the first structure part or the front structure part facing the first free end of the base, and at least one rear first fixing joint for fixing the at least one structure to the base, the rear first fixing joint being arranged or formed in the area of ​​the second structure part or the rear structure part facing the second free end of the base.

[0050] The at least one front first fixed joint allows for the at least one structure to be fixed so as to be movable with at least one degree of freedom of movement in a plane of movement parallel to the upper surface of the base body. Thus, a so-called floating fixation or attachment of the at least one structure to the upper surface of the base body can be realized via the at least one front first fixed joint, which represents a means for influencing the gliding characteristics of the snowboarding device, particularly in cornering, by providing the user with an additional degree of freedom to introduce and / or absorb forces, for example when making turns. Alternatively or additionally, the elastic resilience or recovery of the at least one structure, and thus, for example, jumping or landing behavior, can be improved, for example, by introducing and / or absorbing forces when jumping.

[0051] Alternatively or additionally, the at least one rear first fixed joint allows for the at least one structure to be fixed so as to be movable with at least one degree of freedom of movement in a plane of movement parallel to the upper surface of the base body. The at least one rear first fixed joint thus realizes a so-called floating fixation or attachment of the at least one structure to the upper surface of the base body, which is also a means for influencing the running characteristics of the snowboard, in particular. For example, cornering can be influenced so that an additional degree of freedom is available to the user for introducing and / or absorbing forces, for example, when turning. Alternatively or additionally, the elastic resilience or recovery of the at least one structure, and thus, for example, jumping or landing behavior, can also be improved, for example, for introducing and / or absorbing forces when jumping.

[0052] In a specific exemplary embodiment, only at least one, and optionally all, rear first fixed joints allow fixation of at least one structure that is movable with at least one degree of freedom in a plane of movement parallel to the upper surface of the base, while only at least one, and optionally all, front first fixed joints are fixed to the base in a fixed position and therefore do not allow movement with at least one degree of freedom in a plane of movement parallel to the upper surface of the base. Thus, in a corresponding arrangement, at least one rear first fixed joint is also movably mounted relative to at least one front first fixed joint. The reverse configuration is also conceivable.

[0053] In particular, the at least one front first fixed joint and / or the at least one rear first fixed joint allow the at least one structure to be fixed to or on the base body with at least one degree of freedom of movement, for example, along a movement axis oriented in the longitudinal or transverse direction of the base body. The at least one front first fixed joint and / or the at least one rear first fixed joint can be displaced relative to the base body along a movement axis oriented in the longitudinal or transverse direction of the base body. This can be achieved, for example, via guide devices arranged or formed on the base body and / or the at least one structure, which can be formed, for example, as guide slots into which guide bolts serving as fixing elements are fitted. The corresponding guide slots can be arranged or formed on or in the base body or the at least one structure in a direction parallel to the longitudinal and / or transverse axis of the base body or at an angle thereto, i.e., at a specific angle, for example, linearly or curvedly.

[0054] Alternatively or additionally, the at least one front first fixed joint and / or the at least one rear first fixed joint enable the at least one structure to be fixed to or on the base so as to be movable with at least one rotational degree of freedom about a rotation axis oriented perpendicular to the plane of movement. Thus, the at least one front first fixed joint and / or the at least one rear first fixed joint can rotate relative to the base about a rotation axis oriented perpendicular to the plane of movement. This can be achieved, for example, via guide devices arranged or formed on the base and / or the at least one structure, which can further be configured, for example, as guide slots into which guide bolts serving as fixing elements are engaged and attached. The corresponding guide slots can be, for example, linear or curved, and can be arranged or formed on or in the base or on or in the at least one structure parallel to the short axis of the base or at an angle, i.e., at a specific angle, to the short axis of the base.

[0055] The at least one front first fixed joint and / or the at least one rear first fixed joint can be arranged or formed in particular in the region of the structure forming a flat support on the upper surface of the base, for example, i.e. in the first and / or third region of said structure, so that a stable attachment of the at least one structure to the base can be achieved despite movements of the at least one structure relative to the base through at least one translational and / or rotational degree of freedom.

[0056] As mentioned at the outset, the snowboarding device comprises at least one fastening joint 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 fastened to the snowboarding device. In particular, a corresponding fastening joint can be arranged or formed on at least one structure. Thus, in all embodiments, at least one structure can have at least one second fastening joint for fastening a user's binding. In particular, the at least one structure can have one or more second fastening joints for fastening a first binding, arranged or formed in the region of the structure facing the first free end (front free end) of the base body, and one or more second fastening joints for fastening a second binding, arranged or formed in the region of the structure facing the second free end (rear free end) of the base body. This applies in particular to snowboard design.

[0057] The corresponding second fastening joints can be, for example, form-fit and / or force-fit fastening joints, thereby fastening the binding to at least one structure using form-fit and / or force-fit fastening methods. In particular, positive and / or non-positive fastenings allow for a (non-destructively) removable (non-damaging or non-destructive) attachment of the binding to at least one structure. The positive and / or non-positive fastenings can be, in particular, clamping, screwing, or tensioning or latching fastenings, and thus the corresponding fastening joints can be, for example, clamping, screwing, tensioning or latching interfaces, e.g., openings that can be at least partially penetrated by a screw or screw bolt.

[0058] Further measures for specifically influencing the structural properties of the at least one structure, and thus of the resulting snowboard, can be implemented in that the at least one structure has one or more influencing structures that locally influence the elastic resilience in at least one direction, in particular the longitudinal and / or transverse directions of the base body, in particular in the form of local reinforcements and / or weakenings. Corresponding local reinforcements can be realized by geometrical parameters such as (relatively) high thicknesses, material accumulations, reinforcement geometries such as ribs, etc. Corresponding local weakening can be realized by geometrical parameters such as (relatively) low thicknesses, material reductions, weakening geometries such as openings, etc.

[0059] In addition to the at least one structure, the base body can be configured in a specific way to improve the structural and thus gliding properties of the snowboard. For example, the base body may have, in the longitudinal direction, a first base body portion with a first free end, a second base body portion with a second free end, and a third base body portion disposed between the first and second base body portions, the third base body portion having at least a second curvature and forming a second elastic region. The third base body portion may thus have a second elastic region extending in the longitudinal and / or transverse direction of the base body and formed by at least one second curvature with elastic recovery. The second elastic region may be formed, for example, by a relatively thin wall thickness of the base body. Therefore, in particular, the at least one second elastic region of the base body may be formed, for example, by a groove-like or groove-shaped depression extending in the longitudinal direction of the base body and / or a protuberance extending in the longitudinal direction of the base body.

[0060] The corresponding depressions and / or ridges may have a maximum length dimension that corresponds to at least 15%, particularly at least 20%, more particularly at least 25%, particularly at least 30%, more particularly at least 35%, even more particularly at least 40%, even more particularly at least 45%, even more particularly at least 50%, even more particularly at least 55%, even more particularly at least 60%, even more particularly at least 65%, even more particularly at least 70%, even more particularly at least 75%, even more particularly at least 80%, even more particularly at least 85%, even more particularly at least 90%, and even more particularly at least 95% of the maximum length dimension of the base. Selecting the maximum length dimension of the depressions and / or ridges provides a means for influencing, among other things, the structural properties of the base and, therefore, the resulting structural properties of the snow gliding device. Of course, the maximum length dimension of the depressions and / or ridges may vary depending on the specific design of the snow gliding device.

[0061] The width or transverse dimension of the depressions and / or ridges may be constant or variable, i.e., decreasing and / or increasing, along their longitudinal and / or transverse extension. The depth of the depressions and / or the height of the ridges may also be constant or variable, i.e., decreasing and / or increasing, along their longitudinal and / or transverse extension. Thus, in general, the corresponding depressions and / or ridges may have a cross-sectional shape that is constant or variable in the longitudinal and / or transverse directions.

[0062] The corresponding depressions or ridges of the base are typically formed on the upper surface of the base, especially since the lower surface of the base, which comprises the running or sliding surface, can be easily machined, e.g., for maintenance and / or repair purposes, as is the case with conventional snow sliding devices.

[0063] The second elastic region or the at least one second curvature forming it may be integrated into the base, if necessary entirely or at least partially. In particular, the second elastic region or the at least one second curvature forming it may be formed by a base core structure having at least one second curvature extending in the transverse direction of the base. Thus, the second elastic region may be formed by a base core structure arranged between the upper and lower surfaces of the base, the core structure having at least one second curvature extending in the transverse direction of the base.

[0064] Regarding the type of the at least one first curvature and the at least one second curvature, they can be configured in opposite directions. Thus, the at least one first elastic region can have, for example, at least one convex curvature extending in the longitudinal direction of the base body, and the at least one second elastic region can have at least one concave curvature extending in the transverse direction of the base body. However, it is also conceivable in principle for the at least one first curvature and the at least one second curvature to be of the same type.

[0065] Thus, in particular, the at least one first elastic region has at least one convex curvature extending in the longitudinal direction of the base body, and the at least one second elastic region is formed by a core structure of the base body, which core structure has at least one concave curvature extending in the transverse direction of the base body. Surprisingly, this configuration of the snowboard has been able to be tested to show particularly useful characteristics regarding gliding properties and behavior.

[0066] A second aspect of the present invention relates to a method for manufacturing a snowboard according to the first aspect of the present invention. Specifically, the method includes the steps of providing a board-shaped base body having a longitudinal axis and an upper and lower surface, and fixing at least one structural body to the upper surface of the base body, the base body having a sliding surface on its lower surface for sliding on snow and at least one second elastic region extending in the short direction of the base body and formed by at least one second curvature, the second elastic region having elastic recovery, and the at least one structural body having at least one elastic region extending in the long direction of the base body and formed by at least one first curvature, the first elastic region having elastic recovery. All statements made regarding the snowboard body apply equally to this method, and vice versa.

[Figure 13] 1 is a schematic diagram illustrating a base of a snowboard device according to an exemplary embodiment; [Figure 14] 1 is a schematic diagram illustrating a base of a snowboard device according to an exemplary embodiment; DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0069] 1 to 5 each show a schematic view of a snowboarding device 10 according to an exemplary embodiment. Fig. 1 shows the snowboarding device 10 in a perspective view, Fig. 2 shows a plan view, and Fig. 3 shows a side view. Figs. 4 and 5 show enlarged views of details IV and V of Fig. 2.

[0070] The snowboarding device 10 is configured as a device that allows a user, at least with proper practice, to slide or glide on snow in a controlled manner. In intended use, the user will typically stand on the snowboarding device 10 with at least one foot, and for this purpose the snowboarding device 10 may include at least one (second) securing interface for a binding configured to secure a boot, i.e., a snowboard boot, to the snowboarding device 10, as will be described in more detail below.

[0071] In the illustrated embodiment, the snow sliding device 10 is configured as a snowboard, but the following embodiment also applies by analogy to other embodiments of the snow sliding device 10, such as skis or snow skates.

[0072] The snowboard 10 comprises a board-like or board-shaped base body 20 defining a longitudinal axis A1 or longitudinal direction and a transverse axis A2 or lateral direction, and having an upper surface 21 and a lower surface 22. The base body 20 may also be referred to or considered as a baseboard, and has a core or core structure 28 formed from any single- or multi-layer sandwich-like core material or any single- or multi-layer sandwich-like core material structure, the core material being, for example, wood, resin, metal, or a composite material, for example, a fiber-reinforced composite, and the core material structure being, for example, wood, resin, metal, or a composite material, for example, a fiber-reinforced composite.

[0073] A running surface 23, or a surface for sliding or gliding on snow, sometimes referred to as a "base," is at least partially, particularly entirely, disposed or formed on the underside 22 of the base 20. The running surface 23 or tread surface for sliding or sliding on snow is therefore at least partially, particularly entirely, provided on the underside 22 of the base 20. The running surface 23 or tread surface may be formed from, for example, graphite, a resin, particularly a polyethylene-based resin, or a metal, or may include at least one of the aforementioned materials.

[0074] The structure 30 is provided on the upper surface 21 of the base body 20. In the exemplary embodiment, the structure 30 includes a first elastic region 31 having elasticity, which is formed by a first curve 32a (longitudinal curve) extending in the longitudinal direction of the base body 20. Therefore, the snow sliding device 10 has a configuration including the base body 20, and an independent structure 30 is provided on the upper surface of the snow sliding device 10, and the structure 30 is formed by or has a first elastic region 31 having elastic recovery. The first elastic region 31 is formed by the first curve 32a extending in the longitudinal direction of the base body 20. Therefore, the configuration of the snow sliding device 10 provides the structure 30 provided on the upper surface 21 of the base body 20, and the structure 30 has elastic recovery properties and therefore exerts an elastic recovery force when a corresponding load or force is applied, and includes the first elastic region 31 formed by the first curve 32a extending in the longitudinal direction of the base body 20.

[0075] The structure 30, and in particular the first elastic region 31, can also be referred to or considered as a first elastic body due to its elastic recovery.

[0076] 1 and 3, it can be seen that the first curvature 32a can be a convex curve, so that the structure 30 has at least an outwardly curved surface, particularly with respect to the upper surface 21 of the base body 20, due to the first elastic region 31 formed by the first curvature 32a, and therefore the snowboard 10 is taller than conventional snowboards, at least as far as the maximum extension height is concerned.

[0077] The structure 30 differs from the substrate 20 in particular by the geometry of the structure 30, i.e. in particular by the first curvature 32a, since it is in principle formed from the same material or the same material structure as the substrate 20, i.e. in particular as the core or core structure of the substrate 20. Alternatively, the structure 30 can be formed from a different material or a different material structure than the substrate 20, i.e. in particular as the core or core structure of the substrate 20, and therefore can differ from the substrate 20 not only by the geometry of the structure 30, i.e. in particular by the first curvature 32a, but also by its "material properties".

[0078] Preferably, the structure 30, and in particular the first elastic region 31, is made of an elastically resilient material or an elastically resilient material structure, in particular a multi-layer elastically resilient material structure. In particular, the structure 30, and in particular the first elastic region 31, may be made of, for example, wood, plastic, metal or a composite material such as a fiber composite, and configurations comprising a single-layer or multi-layer material structure including wood, plastic, metal or a composite material such as a fiber composite are also conceivable.

[0079] The first curvature 32a forming the first elastic region 31 is characterized in particular by a radius R extending in the longitudinal direction of the base body 20, which radius R does not exist in the base body 20, and therefore the structure 30, as shown, differs from the base body 20 in particular by the radius R. The radius R of the first curvature 32a is, for example, in the range of 1750 mm to 1950 mm, in particular in the range of 1800 mm to 1900 mm. In the configuration of the snowboard 10 for women, the radius R is in the range of 1825 mm to 1875 mm, in particular about 1855 mm, and in the configuration of the snowboard 10 for men, it is in the range of 1875 mm to 1915 mm, in particular about 1895 mm.

[0080] The figure shows that in principle the structure 30 can be configured, for example, web-like or web-shaped. In particular, the figure shows that the structure 30 can be formed by a corresponding first curvature 32a with a corresponding first elastic region 31, a single-layer or multi-layer board, or a corresponding single-layer or multi-layer plate, since it extends in the longitudinal direction of the base body 20. The structure 30 can therefore have a curved or bent board-like or plate-like or board-like geometry, since it is formed at least in part, in particular almost entirely, if necessary, by a curved or bent board or corresponding plate.

[0081] For example, constructions of the structure 30 are also conceivable in which a plurality of corresponding boards or plates are arranged adjacent to, behind, and / or on top of one another. Thus, the structure 30 may optionally have a plurality of corresponding boards or plates stacked, adjacent to, behind, and / or on top of one another, in order to particularly influence its structural properties, i.e., in particular its elastic recovery and its stiffness.

[0082] By providing the structure 30 on the upper surface 21 of the base body 20, for example, it is possible to impart to the snowboard device 10 a predetermined elasticity, particularly elasticity in the direction normal to the upper surface 21 of the base body 20, and a predetermined rigidity, particularly rigidity in the longitudinal and / or transverse directions of the base body 20, which can significantly influence the structural properties of the snowboard device 10, i.e., in particular its elastic recovery and rigidity, and thus its sliding characteristics or behavior. The elasticity and rigidity that can be or are realized by the structure 30 offer various advantages to both inexperienced and experienced users.

[0083] As can be seen from Figures 13 and 14, which show the base body 20 of the snow sliding device 10 in perspective views, its structural characteristics are characterized not only in that at least one structure 30 (not shown in Figures 13 and 14) provided on the upper surface 21 of the base body 20 has a first elastic region 31 extending in the longitudinal direction of the base body 20 and formed by at least one first curve 32a having elastic recovery, but also in that the base body 20 has a second elastic region 27 extending in the lateral direction of the base body 20 and formed by at least one second curve 27a having elastic recovery. As a result, the base body 20 comprises an elastic region 27 (second elastic region) formed by at least one bend (second bend 27a) and having elastic recovery properties, and the at least one second bend 27a of the second elastic region 27, in contrast to the at least one first bend 32a of the first elastic region 31, does not extend in the longitudinal or longitudinal direction of the base body 20 but in the transverse or lateral direction of the base body 20. The extension directions of the at least one first bend 32a of the structure 30 and the at least one second bend 27a of the base body 20 are therefore perpendicular to each other, as a result of which the snowboarding device as a whole has special structural properties, namely in particular elastic recovery properties.

[0084] The structural properties of the snowboard 10 thus result from a combination of the geometric and structural characteristics of the base body 20 and the structure 30 provided on its upper surface 21. Therefore, the construction of the snowboard 10 with the structure 30 provided on the upper surface 21 of the base body 20 makes it possible to take advantage of the achievable structural properties—which in particular mean specific elasticity and stiffness in the longitudinal and / or transverse direction of the base body 20, and therefore also specific bending or torsional properties—as well as the resulting gliding properties of the snowboard 10, which are significantly improved compared to conventionally constructed snowboards. The improved gliding properties of the snowboard 10 have a positive effect on the performance of certain gliding movements; in particular, improved elastic resilience can improve jumping and landing performance, for example. Thus, the snowboarding device 10 has, for example, more "pop" and / or "flex" than conventional snowboarding devices, and in any case, the "pop" and / or "flex" of the snowboarding device 10 (which applies particularly to snowboards) can be influenced in particular by the structure 30 provided on the upper surface 21 of the base body 20.

[0085] In addition to the combination of the structural characteristics of the base 20 and the structure 30, other aspects such as the specific dimensions of the structure 30, particularly relative to the dimensions of the base 20, the shape of the structure 30, the orientation and / or position of the structure 30 relative to the base 20, and the number, size and arrangement of the contact surfaces 33a, 33b of the structure 30 on the base 20 are also important to the structural and gliding characteristics obtained by the snow gliding device 10. As a result, the configuration of the snow gliding device 10 allows for structural and gliding characteristics to be obtained by the snow gliding device 10 that are particularly influenced by the structural characteristics, as described above, but also by other aspects.

[0086] As can be seen below, in the intended use of the snowboarding device 10, the user typically stands on the structure 30 rather than on the base 20. The configuration of the snowboarding device 10 therefore also allows the user to stand higher than in conventional configurations, which may also have a positive effect on the gliding characteristics.

[0087] In a particular embodiment, the interaction between the base 20 and the structure 30 arranged or attached to its upper surface 21 can achieve the effect that the snowboard 10 has a special torsional or twisting behavior, which allows twists of up to 45° about the longitudinal axis of the base 20 or around it. The structure 30 can not only induce or support improved gliding characteristics, especially with regard to the execution of certain maneuvers such as cornering, jibs, jumps, grinds, etc., but also function as an additional lever, allowing the correction of possible gliding errors and helping to avoid or at least reduce the number of collisions. This is, for example, a consequence of the fact that the above-mentioned configuration of the snowboard 10 allows the snowboard 10 to correct its inclination during gliding, for example by "pulling" it back to its original state. As mentioned above, cornering control is also facilitated or assisted because the user typically does not stand on the base 20 but instead stands high on the structure 30, and cornering or equivalent turns can be initiated with less force, so the configuration of the snowboarding device 10 includes a kind of "power steering," which is easier for inexperienced users to learn and improves the gliding experience.

[0088] Due to its shape, the structure 30, and in particular the first elastic region 31, has elastic resilience against forces acting in the direction of or on the upper surface 21 of the base 20, in particular against gravitational forces. The elastic resilience arises in particular from the first curvature 32a. The first elastic region 31 therefore acts like a leaf spring or gives the structure 30 the properties of a leaf spring. The elastic resilience of the structure 30, and in particular of the first elastic region 31, can therefore be adjusted not only by the elastic resilience of the material forming the structure 30 or of the material structure forming the structure 30, but also by the specific geometry of the first curvature 32a, and in particular the radius R.

[0089] Similarly, the second elastic region 27 has elastic resilience against forces in the direction of or acting on the upper surface of the base body 20, in particular against gravitational forces. The elastic resilience is typically due to the at least one second curvature. The second elastic region 27 can therefore act like a leaf spring or impart the properties of a leaf spring to the base body 20. The elastic resilience of the second elastic region 27 can therefore be adjusted not only by the material forming the base body 20 or the elastic resilience of the material forming the base body 20, but also by the specific geometric structure of the at least one second curvature 27a, in particular the radius.

[0090] It can also be seen from the figure that a free space FR is formed between the upper surface 21 of the base 20 and the structure 30, particularly the first elastic region 31 formed by the first curvature 32a, and extends in a curved manner in the longitudinal direction of the base 20. When viewed in the longitudinal direction, it extends in an arch or bow shape, and when viewed three-dimensionally, it has a dome or dome shape. The dimensions of the free space FR, i.e., the maximum distance of the free space FR from the upper surface 21 of the base 20 or the maximum height h of the free space FR formed by the dimensions of the first curvature 32a, max For example, this may affect the damping characteristics or damping behavior of the structure 30 and may also affect the sliding characteristics of the snow sliding device 10.

[0091] In particular, the free space FR has a maximum distance or maximum height relative to the upper surface 21 of the base 20 of, for example, 10 cm, in particular 9 cm, more particularly 8 cm, more particularly 7 cm, more particularly 6 cm, more particularly 5 cm, more particularly 4 cm, more particularly 3 cm, more particularly 2 cm, more particularly 1 cm. As will be seen below, the maximum distance or maximum height h of the free space FR max may be varied, particularly under corresponding loads, for example by selectively varying the location of one or more front first fixing points 37a or the area relative to one or more rear first fixing points 37b or the area of ​​structure 30 on top surface 21 of base 20. If desired, this may also be supported by floating fixing or mounting of structure 30 on base 20, as will be described in more detail below.

[0092] The dimensions of the longitudinal structure 30 or first elastic region 31 of the snowboard 10, and therefore its longitudinal extension, are typically selected relative to the dimensions of the longitudinal base body 20. Because the dimensions of the longitudinal structure 30 or first elastic region 31 of the snowboard 10, and therefore its longitudinal extension, are typically smaller than the dimensions of the longitudinal base body 20, and therefore its longitudinal extension, the structure 30 or first elastic region 31 is typically shorter than the base body 20, particularly with respect to the respective maximum longitudinal extension.

[0093] 1-5, the structure 30 may have a maximum length dimension that corresponds, for example, to at least 50% of the maximum length dimension of the base body 20. The choice of the maximum length dimension of the structure 30 and / or the extent to which the base body 20 is covered by the structure 30 may be used to influence, among other things, the structural properties obtained in the snowboarding device 10. Of course, the maximum length dimension of the structure 30 may vary depending on the specific configuration of the snowboarding device. If the snowboarding device 10 is designed as a ski, the length dimension of the structure 30 is, for example, at least 15 cm to allow for the intended attachment of ski bindings.

[0094] Regarding the placement of the structures 30 on the upper surface 21 of the base body 20, the structures 30 can, in principle, be placed in any area of ​​the upper surface 21 of the base body 20. The choice of the location of the structures 30 on the upper surface 21 of the base body 20, particularly in combination with the particular length dimension of the structures 30, also provides a means of influencing the structural properties obtained in the snowboarding device 10.

[0095] 1 to 5, the base 20 can include, in the longitudinal direction, a first base portion 24 having a first free end, a second base portion 25 having a second free end, and a third base portion 26 provided between the first and second base portions 24, 25. The third base portion 26 occupies, for example, at least 50% of the maximum longitudinal dimension of the base 20. In an exemplary embodiment, the structure 30 is provided inside or above the third base portion 26 and covers the third base portion 26 at least partially, particularly almost entirely, and in some cases entirely.

[0096] The same applies to the width or transverse stretch of the structure 30 or the first elastic region 31 in the width or transverse direction of the snowboard 10, i.e., in the direction of the snowboard 10 that extends transversely to the longitudinal direction of the snowboard 10. Consequently, the width or transverse dimension of the structure 30 or the first elastic region 31, and therefore its width or transverse stretch, is typically selected relative to the width or transverse dimension and therefore its width or transverse stretch of the base 20. Since the dimension of the structure 30 or the first elastic region 31 in the width or transverse direction of the snowboard 10 is typically smaller than the dimension of the base 20 in the width or transverse direction, and therefore its width or transverse stretch, the structure 30 or the first elastic region 31 is typically narrower than the base 20, especially with respect to the respective maximum width or transverse stretch.

[0097] As shown, structure 30 may have a shape defined by at least one length dimension and at least one width or lateral dimension. The width or lateral dimension of structure 30 may be constant along its longitudinal extent or may vary, i.e., decrease and / or increase, as shown.

[0098] As can be seen from the drawing, the structure 30 can in principle have at least one first region 34 having a first width or short dimension extending in the width or short direction of the base body 20, and at least one second region 36 extending in the width or short direction of the base body 20 and having a second width or short dimension different from the first width dimension. The structure 30 can therefore have various widths or short dimensions, and the shape in the width or short direction, i.e., in particular the realization of various widths or narrow regions, also represents a means for influencing in particular the structural properties of the structure 30 and, therefore, the structural properties obtained in the snowboarding device 10.

[0099] In particular, as shown, the structure 30 comprises a first region 34 having a first width or transverse dimension extending across the width or transverse direction of the substrate 20; at least one second region 36, also designated as a connecting web or intermediate web, extending across the width or transverse direction of the substrate 20 and having a second width or transverse dimension smaller than the first width or transverse dimension; and a third region 35 extending across the width or transverse direction of the substrate 20 and having a second width or transverse dimension smaller than the first width or transverse dimension. The width or transverse dimensions of the first and third regions 34, 35 are (essentially) the same in the exemplary embodiment, but could in principle be different. The at least one second region 36 is disposed or formed between the first and third regions 34, 35 in the direction of the longitudinal axis A1 of the substrate 20. The structure 30 therefore has three distinct, possibly different width or short dimension constrictions, the realization of which, in particular, by the corresponding constrictions and their particular dimensions or shapes, also represents a means of influencing the structural properties of the structure 30 and, therefore, the structural properties obtained in the snow sliding device 10.

[0100] Obviously, in a corresponding embodiment of the structure 30 having three regions 34-36, the first elastic region 31 can be formed by or include at least one second region 36. As a result, at least one second region 36 can be convexly curved. Thus, the first curve 32a can be formed by at least one second region 36. On the other hand, the first and third regions 34, 35 can be flat and form first and second support or force introduction regions or corresponding support surfaces 33a, 33b, by which the structure 30 rests on the upper surface 21 of the base 20 and which can introduce forces acting on the structure 30 into the base 20 when the snowboard device 10 is in use.

[0101] 1 to 5 can be placed directly on the upper surface 21 of the base 20 via corresponding supports or force-application areas or corresponding support surfaces 33 a, 33 b. However, this is not necessary. As in the exemplary embodiment of FIG. 9, one or more, for example, strip-like or strip-shaped spacer elements 40 (spacers) can be arranged or formed between the structure 30 and the upper surface 21 of the base 20, so that the structure 30 does not rest directly on the upper surface 21 of the base 20, but rather one or more corresponding spacer elements 40 are placed directly on the upper surface 21 of the base 20. As a result, the structural characteristics of the snowboard 10 are influenced in particular by the number, dimensions, arrangement, and structural characteristics of the spacer elements 40. The dimensions of the one or more spacer elements 40 in the height direction, i.e., perpendicular to the upper surface 21 of the base 20, can also be used to influence the height and / or angular position of the user relative to the upper surface 21 of the base 20. Thus, the corresponding spacer elements 40 may 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. The corresponding spacer elements 40 may be formed, for example, from an elastically resilient material or an elastically resilient material structure, which also influences the elasticity of the snowboard 10. The corresponding spacer elements 40 may therefore be formed, for example, from or include an elastomer material, which may, for example, produce or influence damping properties, for example, to improve landing behavior after a jump.

[0102] As described above, the structure 30 is attached to the base 20, in particular to the upper surface 21 of the base 20. The structure 30 therefore has at least one first fastening joint 37a, 37b, by which the structure 30 can be fastened to the base 20. The corresponding first fastening joint 37a, 37b can be, for example, a form-fit and / or force-fit and / or material-fit fastening joint, so that the structure 30 can be fastened to the base 20 using a form-fit and / or force-fit and / or material-fit fastening method. The form-fit and / or force-fit fastening method can be, in particular, fastening by clamping, screwing, or tensioning or latching, so that the corresponding first fastening joint 37a, 37b can be, for example, a fastening joint for clamping, screwing, tensioning or latching, and therefore at least a partially penetrated opening for a screw or screw bolt can be considered. In the material fixing manner, in particular as a glued or welded fixing, the corresponding first fixing joints 37a, 37b can be considered as adhesive or welded interfaces, for example glued or welded surfaces.

[0103] In particular, positive and / or non-positive fixation systems allow the structure 30 to be fixed to the base 20, and the structure 30 can be removed (non-damaging or non-destructively). Therefore, at least one structure 30 can be attached to the base 20 in an interchangeable manner, which opens up the possibility of replacing a first structure 30 with a second structure 30 that is different, for example in terms of shape and design, to provide a snowboarding device 10 with different structural characteristics. Thus, for example, one and the same base 20 can be configured for users with different gliding abilities and / or different gliding situations. For example, in gliding situations where many jumps must be completed, such as in a half-pipe, a structure 30 that supports jumps and landings is advantageous due to its structural characteristics and attachment to the upper surface 21 of the base 20. Meanwhile, in gliding situations where many turns must be completed, such as in snowboard cross, a structure 30 that supports turns is advantageous due to its structural characteristics and attachment to the upper surface 21 of the base 20.

[0104] As shown, the structure 30 has one or more front first fixed joints 37a that secure the structure 30 to the base 20, and the front first fixed joints 37a are arranged or formed in the area of ​​the first or front structure portion facing the first or front free end of the base 20 (see Figure 4), and the structure 30 has one or more rear first fixed joints 37b that secure the structure 30 to the base 20, and the first fixed joints 37b may be arranged or formed in the area of ​​the second or rear structure portion facing the second or rear free end of the base 20 (see Figure 5).

[0105] 5, at least one front first fixed joint 37a, i.e., the fixed joint 37a shown elongated, allows the structure 30 to be fixed so as to be movable with at least one degree of freedom of movement in a plane of movement parallel to the upper surface of the base body 20. Via the front first fixed joint 37a, a so-called floating fixation or attachment of the structure 30 to the upper surface 21 of the base body 20 is achieved, which represents a means for influencing the riding characteristics of the snowboarding device 10. In this way, an additional degree of freedom is provided for the user to introduce and / or absorb forces, particularly when cornering, for example, during turns, which can be influenced. Alternatively or additionally, the elastic resilience or recovery of the structure 30, and thus, for example, jumping or landing behavior, can be improved, for example, to introduce and / or absorb forces during jumps.

[0106] In the exemplary embodiment, an exemplary combination of, in particular, two different configurations of front fixing joints 37a is shown, whereby the fixing joint 37a provided directly in the region of the front free end of the structure 30 can in principle in each case realize a floating fixing or attachment of the structure 30 on the upper surface 21 of the base 20, while the other two fixing joints 37a shown in circles in each case realize a positioning fixing or attachment of the structure 30 on the upper surface 21 of the base 20.

[0107] As can be seen in Fig. 5, the rear first fixed joint 37b can also fix the structure 30 so that it can move with at least one degree of freedom in a plane of movement parallel to the upper surface 21 of the base body 20. A so-called floating fixation or attachment of the structure 30 to the upper surface 21 of the base body 20 can thus also be achieved via the rear first fixed joint 37b, which is also a means of influencing the riding characteristics of the snowboarding device 10 in particular. For example, cornering can also be influenced so that an additional degree of freedom is available to the user, for example, for introducing and / or absorbing forces when turning. Alternatively or additionally, the elastic recovery or resilience of the structure 30, and thus, for example, jumping or landing behavior, can also be improved, for example, for introducing and / or absorbing forces when jumping.

[0108] In the exemplary embodiment, a combination of two identical rear fixing joints 37b is particularly illustrated, each of which can realize floating fixing or attachment of the structure 30 to the upper surface 21 of the base 20.

[0109] Therefore, in principle, and regardless of the embodiment shown, it applies that only at least one front or rear first fixed joint 37a, 37b, and possibly all front or rear first fixed joints 37a, 37b, allow the structure 30 to be fixed so that it can move with at least one degree of freedom in a movement plane parallel to the upper surface 21 of the base 20, while the remaining front or rear first fixed joints 37a, 37b are fixed to the base 20 in fixed positions, thereby making it impossible for the structure 30 to move with at least one degree of freedom in a movement plane parallel to the upper surface 21 of the base 20.

[0110] Returning to the exemplary embodiment shown in Figures 4 and 5, the front and rear first fixed joints 37a, 37b realizing a floating fixation or mounting allow the fixation of the movable structure 30 to or on the base body 20 with a degree of freedom of movement, in particular along a movement axis oriented in the longitudinal direction of the base body 20. The corresponding front and rear first fixed joints 37a, 37b can therefore be displaced relative to the base body 20, in the case of the rear first fixed joint 37b, along a movement axis oriented in the longitudinal direction of the base body 20. This is realized, for example, via guide devices arranged or formed on the base body 20 and / or the structure 30, which can be configured, as shown, for example as guide slots 38a, 38b, into which engage guide bolts serving, for example, as fixing elements 39a, 39b. The corresponding guide slots 38a, 38b may be arranged or formed in or on the substrate 20 or structure 30, for example, in a direction parallel to the longitudinal axis of the substrate 20 or at an angle to the longitudinal axis (not shown), i.e., at a specific angle, either linearly or curvedly (not shown).

[0111] Although not shown, the front and rear first fixed joints 37a, 37b, which provide a floating fixation or mounting, allow the structure 30 to be fixed to or on the base 20 in a manner that allows it to move with at least one rotational degree of freedom about a rotation axis oriented perpendicular to the plane of movement. Thus, at least one front and / or rear first fixed joint 37a, 37b can rotate relative to the base 20 about a rotation axis oriented perpendicular to the plane of movement. This can also be achieved, for example, via guide devices arranged or formed on the base 20 and / or the structure 30, which may have, for example, guide slots into which guide bolts serving as fixing elements are fitted so as to engage. The corresponding guide slots can be arranged or formed on or in the base 20 or the structure 30 in a direction parallel to the short axis of the base 20 or at an angle to the short axis, i.e., at a specific angle, for example, linearly or curvedly.

[0112] 4 and 5 further show that the front and rear first fixing joints 37a, 37b can in particular be arranged or formed on support surfaces 33a, 33b, which for example form flat support portions of the upper surface 21 of the base body 20. Thus, a stable fixing of the structure 30 relative to the base body 20 can be achieved despite at least one translational and / or rotational degree of movement of the structure 30 relative to the base body 20.

[0113] 4 and 5, the snowboarding device 10 may have one or more second fastening joints (not further specified) in the form of holes or apertures for one or more snowboard bindings, through which snowboard boots can be secured to the snowboarding device 10. In exemplary embodiments, the second fastening joints are arranged or formed on or within the structure 30. Thus, in all embodiments, the structure 30 may have one or more second fastening joints for securing a binding to a user. In particular, the structure 30 may have a plurality of second fastening joints for securing a first binding, arranged or formed in an area of ​​the structure facing the first free end (front free end) of the base 20, and one or more second fastening joints for securing a second binding, arranged or formed in an area of ​​the structure facing the second free end (rear free end) of the base 20.

[0114] The corresponding second fastening joints may be, for example, positive and / or non-positive fastening joints, thereby allowing the binding to be fastened to the structure 30 using positive and / or non-positive fastening methods. In particular, in the case of positive and / or non-positive fastenings, these allow the binding to be attached to the structure 30 in a manner that allows for (non-damaging or non-destructive) removal when necessary. Since positive and / or non-positive fastenings are, in particular, fastenings by clamping, screwing, pulling, or latching, it is conceivable that the corresponding fastening joints may, for example, have openings that can be at least partially penetrated by a screw or screw bolt as an interface with the clamping, screwing, pulling, or latching.

[0115] 6, which shows a cross section through an approximately central region of the corresponding snowboard 10, it can be seen that the first elastic region 31 can have, as mentioned above, at least one first curvature 32a extending in the longitudinal direction of the base body 20, as well as at least one second curvature 32b (transverse curvature) extending in the transverse or transverse direction of the base body 20. The structure 30, at least as far as the second region 36 is concerned, can therefore be a dome-shaped or dome-shaped component, so that at least the first elastic region 31 can be dome-shaped or dome-shaped due to its longitudinal and transverse curvatures. By forming the first elastic region 31 with at least one first curvature 32a extending in the longitudinal direction of the base body and at least one second curvature 32b extending in the transverse or transverse direction of the base body 20, a further means is provided for forming the structure 30 three-dimensionally and in particular for influencing the structural properties of the structure 30 and thus of the snowboard 10.

[0116] Each of the first and second curves 32a, 32b of the first elastic region 31 can have the same or different geometric parameters, i.e., in particular the respective radii R, and the specific geometric parameters of each of the first and second curves 32a, 32b also provide a means for influencing in particular the structural properties of the structure 30 and thus the structural properties obtained in the snow sliding device 10.

[0117] As can be seen from FIGS. 7 and 8, it is also conceivable to configure at least one structure 30 with a plurality of second regions 36, each spaced apart from one another by at least one gap. One, some, or all of the second regions 36 may be arranged parallel to the longitudinal axis A1 of the base 20 (see FIG. 7). Alternatively or additionally, one, some, or all of the second regions 36 may be arranged obliquely relative to the longitudinal axis A1 of the base 20 (see FIG. 8). Two exemplary embodiments also show that at least two of the plurality of second regions 36 may be arranged parallel to one another. At least two of the plurality of second regions 36 may be identical in the longitudinal and / or transverse directions or may have different dimensions (not shown). Regardless of the direction and / or position or dimensions, the elastic region 31 may be formed by or comprise a plurality of second regions 36 spaced apart from one another by at least one gap. As a result, the number, direction and / or position, in particular relative to the longitudinal axis of the base 20 and / or relative to each other, as well as the dimensions of each second region 36 also provide a means for influencing, in particular, the structural properties of the structure 30 and, therefore, the structural properties obtained in the snow sliding device 10.

[0118] 10 and 11, it can be seen that the base body 20 as well as the structure 30 can be configured in a special way to improve the structural and associated sliding properties of the snowboarding device 10. As mentioned above, the base body 20 can be longitudinally configured with 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, located between the first and second base body sections 24, 25. The third base body section 26 has at least one second elastic region 27 extending in the longitudinal and / or transverse direction of the base body and formed by at least one concave curvature with elastic recovery. In an exemplary embodiment, the second elastic region 27 of the base body 20 is formed by a relatively thin wall thickness of the base body 20. Thus, in particular, the second elastic regions 27 of the chassis 20 can be formed, for example, by depressions, in particular groove- or channel-shaped depressions, extending in the longitudinal direction of the chassis 20, and / or by ridges, not shown, extending in the longitudinal direction of the chassis 20. From the cross-sectional view, it can be seen that the depressions, in particular the groove- or channel-shaped depressions, are oriented in the transverse direction of the chassis 20.

[0119] The length dimension of the depressions and / or ridges corresponds, for example, to at least 50% of the maximum length dimension of the substrate 20 .

[0120] The width or transverse dimension of a depression and / or ridge may be constant or variable, i.e., decreasing and / or increasing, along its longitudinal extent. The depth of a depression and / or the height of a ridge may also be constant or variable, i.e., decreasing and / or increasing, along its longitudinal extent. Thus, in general, a corresponding depression and / or ridge may have a constant or variable cross-sectional shape in the longitudinal direction.

[0121] As shown in Figure 11, corresponding depressions or protuberances of the base 20 can (also) be formed on the upper surface 21 of the base 20. This advantageously allows the lower surface 22 of the base 20, which comprises the running surface 23 or the running surface, to be easily machined, e.g., for maintenance and / or repair purposes, as is the case with conventional snow sliding devices.

[0122] 12 shows an essentially schematic side view of an exemplary embodiment of a snowboarding device 10 with multiple structures 30, each with a corresponding first elastic region 31. Each structure 30 can be separately attached to the base 20. Each structure 30 can also have one or more second fixing joints for bindings.

[0123] In all embodiments, further measures for influencing the structural properties of the structure 30, and thus of the resulting snowboard 10, may be implemented in that the structure 30 has one or more influencing structures (not shown) that locally influence the elastic recovery in at least one direction, in particular the longitudinal and / or transverse directions of the base body 20, in particular in the form of local reinforcements and / or weakenings. Corresponding local reinforcements may be realized by geometrical parameters such as (relatively) high thicknesses, material accumulations, reinforcement shapes such as ribs, etc. Similarly, corresponding local weakening may be realized by geometrical parameters such as (relatively) low thicknesses, material reductions, weakening shapes such as openings, etc.

[0124] 13 and 14, the second elastic region 27 or the at least one second curvature 27a forming it may, if desired, be entirely or at least partially integrated into the base 20. In particular, the second elastic region 27 or the at least one second curvature 27a forming it is formed by a core structure 28 of the base 20, the core structure 28 having at least one second curvature 27a extending in the transverse direction of the base 20. The second elastic region 27 is therefore formed by a core structure 28 of the base 20 arranged inside the base 20 between the upper surface 21 and the lower surface 22 of the base 20, the core structure 28 having at least one second curvature 27a extending in the transverse direction of the base 20.

[0125] Regarding the type of the at least one first curvature 32a and the at least one second curvature 27a, they may be configured in opposite directions. Thus, the first elastic region 32a may have, for example, at least one convex curvature extending in the longitudinal direction of the base body 20, and the second elastic region 27a may have at least one concave curvature extending in the transverse direction of the base body 20. Configurations in which the curvatures 32a and 27a are of the same type are also conceivable in principle. Both configurations are illustrated in Figures 13 and 14.

[0126] In particular, the first elastic region 31 has at least one convex curvature 32a extending in the longitudinal direction of the base body 20, and the second elastic region 27 is formed by a core structure 28 of the base body 20, which core structure 28 has at least one concave curvature extending in the transverse direction of the base body 20. Surprisingly, tests have shown that such a configuration of the snowboard 10 has particularly advantageous properties in terms of gliding characteristics and behaviour.

[0127] The method for manufacturing the snow sliding device 10 includes, inter alia, the steps of providing a board-shaped base body 20 having a longitudinal axis A1 and an upper surface 21 and a lower surface 22, and fixing at least one structure 30 to the upper surface of the base body 20, the base body 20 having, on its lower surface 22, a sliding surface 23 for sliding on snow and at least one second elastic region 27 formed by at least one second curve extending in the short direction of the base body 20 and having elastic recovery, and the at least one structure 30 having at least one elastic region 31 formed by at least one first curve 32a extending in the longitudinal direction of the base body 20 and having elastic recovery.

[0128] Each, some or all of the features of the first exemplary embodiment may be combined with each, some or all of the features of at least one further exemplary embodiment.
