The invention relates to a ski or a snowboard, a method for the production of a prefabricated semi-finished product for the production of such a ski or snowboard, a suitably constructed semi-finished product, as well as a method for the production of the ski or snowboard of the invention by using the prefabricated semi-finished product, as indicated in claims 1, 11, 18 and 19.
Document AT 407 491 B of the same applicant describes a method for the production of a ski and a suitably constructed ski. In this case the said shell or cap structure is used, in that a preliminary shell is produced with a U-shaped cross section comprising an outer cover layer together with an impregnated reinforcing layer. After the production of said U-shaped shell a ski core is inserted between the sides thereof and plastic is inserted into the remaining intermediate spaces. Finally a ski body is produced in which the outer cover layer forms the upper side and the lateral longitudinal walls. The ski cores that are used and produced in preparation in addition to structural depressions or elevations on the top and bottom flat side have either an essentially rectangular cross section or an essentially trapezoidal cross section, whereby the trapezium shape of the ski core and the essentially trapezoidal cross sectional contour of the ski body are aligned identically or used with an identical orientation. Accordingly the longitudinal side walls of the ski core and the longitudinal side walls of the ski body run in relation to the cross section of the ski body either parallel to one another or are aligned at an angle to one another. The cross sectional width of the ski core tapers from the running surface coating in the direction of the upper cover surface of the ski body. This structure and said production method have proved advantageous for many applications, however the level of economic efficiency and processing stability that can be achieved is only satisfactory in some circumstances.
AT 11 519 U1, which is also of the same applicant, describes a further method for producing a ski or snowboard, in which the longitudinal side surfaces are formed at least partly by structurally independent side cheek elements. In this case a semi-finished product is produced in preparation which consists of the cover layer, the upper strap and at least one side cheek element of the subsequent ski or snowboard. In addition, the core element is attached adhesively to said prefabricated semi-finished product. Also in this production process a core element is used which has a substantially rectangular or trapezoidal cross-sectional contour in cross section and wherein a substantially trapezoidal cross-sectional contour of the ski or snowboard is aligned almost congruently or with same orientation as the substantially rectangular or trapezoidal cross-sectional contour of the core element. In addition, the reliability of the processing when forming the semi-finished product into a sliding board body, i.e. during the adhesive bonding of the semifinished product to the remaining components of the ski or snowboard to be produced, is only satisfactory in certain circumstances.
The objective of the present invention is to create a ski or snowboard or to provide a method for the production thereof, which enables a production process for creating a high-quality sliding board body which is as inexpensive as possible and is in perfect condition.
The objective of the invention is achieved firstly by the measures according to claim 1. Such a ski or such a snowboard comprises a multilayered sliding board body which meets the high requirements for quality and economic production. The core element, which broadens continuously or discontinuously in relation to the cross section of the multilayered sliding board body from the running surface coating in the direction of the upper cover layer, also has advantages specific to the production method which result in a relatively high and reliable product quality. In particular in this way the adhesion of the core element to the surrounding elements or layers is ensured as reliably as possible in terms of processing. In this way the rejection rates or number of poor quality products can be minimized. In particular mainly in connection with prefabricated semi-finished products a reliable filling of hollow spaces with the intended filler or adhesive is achieved, which is important for the quality and stability of the multilayered sliding board body. In addition, the production process of a suitably designed sliding board body can be optimized in terms of time and can run relatively error-free.
By means of the measures according to claim 2 a high filling level or high reliability of the filling can be achieved with regard to the intermediate spaces between the longitudinal side walls of the sliding board body and the closest respective side surfaces of the core element. In particular in this way also at relatively low injection pressures for the filler and adhesive relative to the corresponding intermediate spaces as far as possible an extensive filling of said intermediate spaces is ensured. In particular, in this way a kind of integral nozzle function is created by the respective components of the sliding board body, whereby the introduction of the filler and adhesive is also ensured in relatively narrow positions or positions relatively remote from the injection site. The corresponding structural measures thus result in the construction of high quality sliding board bodies, in which the risk of any unwanted reduction in strength or delamination is minimized.
Furthermore, the measures according to claim 3 are advantageous, as in thereby in addition to reliable filling or in addition to a high level of filling the intermediate space, which is wedge-shaped in cross section, with filler and adhesive also a strong, adhesive bonding of the at least one strip-like side cheek element to the sliding board body is ensured. In particular, in this way the achievable robustness is increased or in this way the probability of delamination or the detachment of the at least one side cheek element is minimized. Thus in this way high quality sliding board bodies are achieved which can be created relatively economically in terms of production technology.
The measures according to claim 4 are also advantageous, as in this way hollow cavities or air bubbles are eliminated in the sections of the sliding board body to be filled with filler and adhesive. In particular, in this way as far as possible the hollow or intermediate spaces are filled as completely as possible when the filler and adhesive is relatively viscous or relatively thick in its original flowing or processing state. In particular in this way pointed tapering niches in which cavities or air bubbles could form without filler and adhesive are much reduced or avoided.
By way of the measures according to claim 5 a higher filling level is achieved of the intermediate space which is essentially wedge-shaped in cross section. In this way the reliability or strength of the suitably adhesive bond is increased. In some circumstances in this way the time needed to completely fill the corresponding cavities that are wedge-shaped in cross section can be reduced. In particular, in this way a kind of nozzle effect is achieved which ensures the reliable filling of even relatively narrow gaps or cavities between the at least one strip-like side cheek element and the core element.
The measures according to claim 6 are also particularly advantageous, as in this way an improved, material-bonded or adhesive connection is formed between the at least one strip-like side cheek element and the core element. In particular in this way the thresholds relating to the delamination or detachment of elements are significantly raised, and robust and high-quality skis or snowboards can be produced. In addition, in this way the processing reliability is increased during the production of such a ski or snowboard. In particular, by means of said surface treatment or roughening on the one hand a material bond is formed and on the other hand to a certain extent a gripping or form-fitting connection is formed between the filler and adhesive and the corresponding surfaces of the at least one side cheek element and the core element.
The measures according to claim 7 are also advantageous, as in this way the simple and uncomplicated production of the sliding board body is achieved as far as possible. In addition, in this way the transmission of force relative to an edge element of the sliding board body is improved. Furthermore, in this way an intermediate space that is sufficiently wedge-shaped in cross section is ensured, which facilitates as far as possible complete filling with filler or adhesive.
By way of the measures according to claim 8 a sliding board body is created, the individual components of which are combined to make a very strong composite body, since the filler and adhesive ensures as far as possible a total or large area mutual adhesion of said elements or components.
In addition, by way of the measures according to claim 9 as far as possible a uniform and hollow cavity filling distribution of the originally flowable filler and adhesive is supported. In particular, in this way the strength-relevant lower strap is embedded as fully as possible into the filler and adhesive or with the one-sided introduction of the originally flowable filler and adhesive ensures as far as possible the complete integration of the metal band into the subsequently hardening filler and adhesive. The strength of the ski or snowboard and its product quality is thus improved further.
Also the embodiment according to claim 10 is an advantage as in this way a ski or snowboard is created which can withstand high stresses, in particular high loads, without being exposed to the risk of delamination between the individual layers or components. In addition, in this way the corresponding composite body can be assembled to be cost-efficient, in particularly rapidly and without complex measures in terms of production technology.
The objective of the invention is also achieved by way of a method for the production of a prefabricated semi-finished product according to claim 11. By means of the described allocation or alignment of the core element relative to the upper strap or the cover layer a semi-finished product is created which, during the subsequent completion or joining process to create the structurally completed or finished sliding board body, supports a reliable and robust manufacturing process. In particular, by means of the corresponding method a semi-finished product is produced which during the subsequent production or finishing process creates a good starting basis for a high-strength, adhesive bond with the other components necessary for the sliding board body.
The measures according to claim 12 are also an advantage as thereby a sliding board body can be created which comprises at least one structurally independent, strip-like side cheek element for delimiting at least one longitudinal side wall, whereby the corresponding method ensures a reliable connection or a very strong, material-bonded connection with the adjoining components of the semi-finished product or the subsequent sliding board body. In particular, in this way the quality of the semi-finished product or a subsequently formed sliding board body can be increased.
By means of the measures according to claim 13 as far as possible the corresponding cavities or intermediate spaces are filled as completely as possible when a relatively viscous filler or adhesive is used or if the corresponding injection pressure for the filler and adhesive are relatively low. In addition, in this way it is ensured with increased reliability that the at least one strip-like side cheek element adopts the intended alignment or orientation relative to the running surface coating or other outline contour of the sliding board body subsequently formed with this semi-finished product.
The measures according to claim 14 are also advantageous as thereby a high-strength, adhesive bond is achieved between the suitably roughened surfaces and the filler and adhesive in contact therewith. In particular, in this way mainly the corresponding side cheek elements are secured reliably and very stably to the subsequently formed sliding board body, whereby even with increased stresses or deflections on the sliding board body the probability of detachment or delamination is virtually excluded.
A particularly efficient and thorough method of roughening the corresponding surface sections is described in claim 15. In addition, also relatively inaccessible, intermediate spaces, which are essentially wedge or V-shaped in cross section, can be reached relatively easily and treated or roughened as intended. Furthermore, such measures are time-efficient and thorough.
By way of the measures according to claim 16 a tapering intermediate space or holding channel is created for the filler and adhesive, whereby the filling level or the filling reliability is increased.
The measures according to claim 17 are also advantageous as in this way deposits or stuck particles, which are introduced from a grinding or sandblasting method into the wedge-shaped intermediate space between the side cheek element and core element, can largely fall out of the intermediate space automatically or can be removed easily. In particular in this way in the pointed area of the wedge-shaped intermediate space unwanted accumulations of abrasive particles or particles which have been removed from the treated surfaces are avoided or reduced. The quality of the subsequent adhesion can be increased in this way. It is also achieved in this way that suitable molds for producing the semi-finished product do not have any sharp-edged cutting edges or pointed edges, whereby the lifetime of the corresponding molds is increased. In particular, obtuse edges or surface transitions in a mold are subject to much less wear than acute-angled transitions. However, also the improved removal of particles or sand from the intermediate space, which is wedge-shaped in cross section, facilitates the quality and production stability of a sliding board body to be assembled.
Claim 18 characterizes a semi-finished product, which forms an improved starting basis for completion into a sliding board body in the form of a ski or snowboard. The technical advantages and effects achievable in this way can be taken from the preceding and following parts of the description.
The objective of the invention is also achieved by means of a method according to claim 19. In this way a sliding board body is created which meets the requirements for high quality and can also be produced relatively inexpensively and economically. In particular, despite having a structurally, relatively complex structure the reliable and fault-free production of corresponding sliding board bodies can be achieved.
The measures according to claim 20 provide the advantage of a simple and yet very strong material-bonded connection of the prefabricated semi-finished products with the additional components of the sliding board body to be produced. A particular advantage is that no additional heat or thermal energy is supplied to the filler and adhesive or the joining process, whereby the cost or economic efficiency is significantly increased for the production of corresponding sliding board bodies.
Mainly by way of the measures according to claim 21 an energy-saving production process is achieved which achieves considerable ecological and economic advantages.
By way of the measures according to claim 22 on the one hand the processing cycle can be kept as short as possible as no heating or temperature stabilizing times needs to be adhered to. On the other hand a particularly inexpensive and ecologically improved production process is achieved in this way.
Furthermore, the measures according to claim 23 are an advantage as thereby the adhesively assembled composite body or the sliding board body to be produced can be demolded from the molds after a relatively short reaction or hardening period, so that relatively short production cycles or bonding cycles are achieved. In particular in this way a high clock speed can be achieved in relation to the charging of the pressing device or the molds with the sliding board bodies to be produced. The economic efficiency of the production process or the thereby produced sliding board bodies is thus improved.
Lastly, the measures according to claim 24 are a particular advantage, as in this way initially less stressable composite bodies gradually obtain their end stability or end strength, in that the latter are simply stored at room temperature or temporarily. The lack of stress and tension of the composite bodies guarantees in this way the intended, high-quality composite bodies or sliding board bodies, which after waiting for the hardening time or after achieving sufficient hardening of the filling and adhesive can be supplied easily to the respective finishing processes. The economic efficiency and quality of corresponding sliding board bodies is increased further in this way.
For a better understanding of the invention the latter is explained in more detail with reference to the following figures.
In a much simplified, schematic representation:
First of all, it should be noted that in the variously described exemplary embodiments the same parts have been given the same reference numerals and the same component names, whereby the disclosures contained throughout the entire description can be applied to the same parts with the same reference numerals and same component names. Also details relating to position used in the description, such as e.g. top, bottom, side etc. relate to the currently described and represented figure and in case of a change in position should be adjusted to the new position. Furthermore, also individual features or combinations of features from the various exemplary embodiments shown and described can represent in themselves independent or inventive solutions.
All of the details relating to value ranges in the present description are defined such that the latter include any and all part ranges, e.g. a range of 1 to 10 means that all part ranges, starting from the lower limit of 1 to the upper limit 10 are included, i.e. the whole part range beginning with a lower limit of 1 or above and ending at an upper limit of 10 or less, e.g. 1 to 1.7, or 3.2 to 8.1 or 5.5 to 10.
A corresponding ski 1 or snowboard comprises a multilayered sliding board body 3, which is provided for sliding on snow, ice or other surfaces. Said multilayered sliding board body 3 is thus a sandwich element or composite body 4 formed from a plurality of adhesively bonded elements.
Such a multilayered sliding board body 3 consists of at least one strength-providing upper strap 5, at least one strength-providing lower strap 6, at least one strip or board-like core element 7 arranged in between, at least one cover layer 9 forming the upper side 8 of the sliding board body 3 and at least one running surface coating 11 forming the lower side 10 of the sliding board body 3. In the case of the embodiment of a ski 1 or snowboard the lateral longitudinal edges of the running surface coating 11 are typically delimited by edge elements 12, 13 for the improved guiding of the sliding board body 3 on hard or icy ground. Said edge elements 12, 13 are usually made of metal materials and are known as steel edges in colloquial language.
The at least one one-piece running surface coating 11 composed possibly of several parts should be able to slide as well as possible and be resistant to wear on the respective ground surface, such as for example snow, ice or sand. The cover layer 9 has primarily a protective or decorative function for the sliding board body 3. The cover layer 9 is typically transparent or translucent and can be provided on the back with decoration, for example by means of sublimation printing or thermal color printing. Alternatively to or in combination with this on the rear side opposite the upper side 8 also a separate decorative layer or decoration substrate layer can be provided.
The upper strap 5 and the lower strap 6 are primarily strength and rigidity providing layers or elements in the sliding board body 3 and determine primarily its bending behavior or loadability and breaking resistance. The upper strap 5 and/or the lower strap 6 in this case do not need to be formed by independent layers or elements, but can also be defined by adhesives or fillers on the inside of the sliding board body 3. According to the shown exemplary embodiment the strength-providing upper strap 5 is formed by a metal layer, in particular a light metal. In a similar way the lower strap 6 is formed from a strip-like, metal element with a thickness of typically less than 1 mm. Alternatively to or in combination with this the upper strap 5 and/or the lower strap 6 can also be formed by so-called prepreg elements, which are typically formed by resin-impregnated fabric, in particular by fiber glass fabric. For example, the upper strap 5 extends over the entire, effective width of the sliding board body 3, so that its longitudinal side edges are visible or accessible in relation to the longitudinal side surfaces 14, 15 of the sliding board body 3.
As shown best from an overview of
The board or strip-like core element 7 arranged between the strength-relevant upper strap 5 and the strength-relevant lower strap 6 has at least in sections of its longitudinal extension an essentially trapezoidal cross section. Said trapezoidal cross section is provided at least within the assembly area of a binding device 2. Usually the core element 7 has an essentially trapezoidal cross section within 30% to 90% of its longitudinal extension. Such a core element 7 usually has its greatest strength or thickness in the middle longitudinal section and tapers progressively in the direction of the distal end sections. Mainly in opposite end sections the core element 7 can also have a rectangular cross section. It is advantageous if the core element 7 in its entire longitudinal extension has an almost trapezoidal cross section. Typically the length of the core element 7 is shorter than the nominal length of the subsequent sliding board body 3, whereby the length of the core element 7 can be about 10 cm to 30 cm, preferably about 20 cm, shorter than the nominal length of the sliding board body 3.
The strip-like or board-like core element 7 is delimited essentially by a first or upper flat side 16, by a second or lower flat side 17 and by lateral side surfaces 18, 19. The first and second flat side 16, 17 are aligned in relation to the cross section by the core element 7 essentially parallel to one another. At least one of the side surfaces 18, 19 is inclined relative to the flat sides 16, 17, so that the essentially trapezoidal cross section of the core element 7 is formed. The cross section is then also trapezoidal when a side surface 18 or 19 is aligned at right angles to the flat sides 16, 17 and the opposite side surface 19 or 18 is aligned at an acute or obtuse angle to the flat sides 16, 17.
The essentially trapezoidal cross-sectional contour of the core element 7 thus comprises a first base side 20 with a first length 21 and a second base side 22 essentially parallel thereto with a second comparatively shorter length 23. The flat sides 16, 17 can in this case be designed to be planar or flat or can also comprise grooving or elevations in order to achieve a close bond with fillers or adhesives. However, at least the greatest part or a middle, virtual plane of the delimiting or flat sides 16, 17 of the core element 7 are essentially parallel to one another, as shown by way of example in
As can be taken by way of example from
Preferably, the core element 7 is made from a wooden material. In this way several wooden strips or wooden lamellae can be glued together to form a one-piece core element 7. The inclined, lateral side surfaces 18, 19 and possibly provided surface structures in the form of elevations or depressions on the upper and/or lower flat side 16, 17 are preferably formed by cutting processes. The core element 7 made of wood is preferably a prefabricated component, which during the manufacture of the sliding board body 3 is joined to the remaining components to form a one-piece composite body 4. Alternatively to a so-called wooden core it is also possible to provide a core element 7 made of plastic. A core element 7 of this kind can be configured as a hollow profile in order to have a mass that is as low as possible. A core element 7 made of plastic can also have a foam core, for example made of PU foam. Also such core elements 7 as an alternative to wood have at least within the middle longitudinal section an essentially trapezoidal cross section, where the core element 7 is integrated according to the preceding representations inversely to the outer essentially trapezoidal cross-sectional contour of the sliding board body 3 into the sliding board body 3.
This offset alignment of the trapezium shape of the core element 7 relative to the trapezium shape of the sliding board body 3 has production-technical and structural advantages, as explained in the introduction.
The opposite longitudinal side walls 26, 27 of the sliding board body 3 can be formed by this case by a cover layer 9 that is essentially C-shaped in cross section, wherein the lateral sides of the cover layer 9 that is essentially C-shaped in cross section form at least sections of the longitudinal side walls 26, 27. Such a construction is usually known as a “cap construction”. As shown by way of example in
According to an advantageous embodiment, as shown in
According to an advantageous embodiment, as illustrated in
According to the exemplary embodiment shown in
According to an advantageous embodiment the intermediate space 24, 25, which is essentially wedge-shaped in cross section, and is filled at least mostly with the filler and adhesive 28, is designed in its upper end section closest to the upper strap 5 to be obtuse or flattened, in particular with a lowest cross-sectional width 33 of more than 0.5 mm, preferably between 0.5 and 5 mm, preferably about 1.5 mm.
It is expedient, if the inner surface 31, 32 of the longitudinal side wall 25, 26 and/or the inner surface 31, 32 of the strip-like side cheek element 29, 29′, 30, 30′ encloses with the closest side surface 18, 19 of the core element 7 a wedge-shaped angle 34 of between 5° and 30°, preferably of about 20°.
To achieve an improved material-bonded or adhesive connection with the filler and adhesive 28, it is an advantage to roughen the inner surfaces 31, 32 of the longitudinal side walls 26, 27 and the inner surfaces 31, 32 of the strip-like side cheek elements 29, 29′, 30, 30′ and the closest side surfaces 18, 19 of the core element 7 by means of a surface treatment, in particular by means of an abrasive surface treatment, before the said surfaces 31, 32; 18, 19 come into contact with the filler and adhesive 28. The corresponding roughening of said surfaces is performed advantageously by a sandblasting method, as illustrated schematically in
The filler and adhesive 28, which preferably has a polyurethane base, connects the core element 7, the at least one strip-like side cheek element 29, 29′, 30, 30′, the at least one lower strap 6 and the at least one running surface coating 11 into a one-piece composite body 4. Furthermore, any edge elements 12, 13 formed are bonded adhesively by means of said filler and adhesive 28 into the one-piece composite body 4.
According to an advantageous embodiment the at least one lower strap 6 is formed by a metal band 35. Said band 35 preferably comprises a plurality of openings 36 distributed as shown schematically in
Said semi-finished product 40 is configured as a multi-component, one-piece part component, which comprises at least the cover layer 9, at least part of the strength-providing upper strap 5 and at least one core element 7 of a subsequent sliding board body 3 connected by material bonding or adhesively with the lower side of the strength-providing upper strap 5. The upper strap 5 can comprise for example a so-called prepreg, which under the effect of temperature and pressure ensures an adhesive connection of the upper, first flat side 16 of the core element 7 with the upper strap 5 or with the cover layer 9.
The corresponding core element 7 is configured to be strip-like or board-like and extends over about 70% to 95%, preferably over about 85% of the nominal length of the sliding board body to be produced. The core element 7, which is formed for example by several wooden lamellae 41 glued together to form a one-piece body, has an outline contour which is essentially trapezoidal in cross section. Taken into consideration as a body, the core element 7 thus has a first and second flat side 16, 17, which are aligned as seen in cross section essentially parallel to one another and are delimited by two lateral side surfaces 18, 19, whereby at least one side surface 18 or 19 is inclined, that is aligned at an angle deviating from a right angle from the flat sides 16, 17. In those sections of the longitudinal extension of the core element 7, where there is a trapezoidal cross section, the cross-sectional contour thus has a first base side 20 with a first width respectively length 21 and a second base side 22 essentially parallel thereto with a second, comparatively shorter width respectively length 23.
It is essential here that during the production of the semi-finished product 40, as illustrated by way of example in
According to an advantageous measure the preprepared semi-finished product 40 also comprises at least one strip-like side cheek element 29, 29′, 30, 30′ which, prior to the joining of or prior to the completion of the semi-finished product 40 with the additional or completing components of the final sliding board body 3, is an additional component of the prefabricated semi-finished product 40. Said at least one strip-like side cheek element 29, 29′, 30, 30′, which forms or form at least one part of at least one longitudinal side wall 26, 27 of the final sliding board body 3, are adhered in this case to at least one longitudinal side edge 42, 43 of the cover layer 9 or to the upper strap 5 arranged on the lower side of the cover layer 9, as can be taken mainly from the schematic representation according to
During the joining or adhesive bonding of at least one strip-like side cheek element 29, 29′, 30, 30′ to the lower side of the upper strap 5 or the cover layer 9 a wedge shaped intermediate space 24, 25, which is essentially wedge-shaped in cross section, is formed in relation to the core element 7, which is filled at least mostly with filler and adhesive 28 during the subsequent completion of the semi-finished product 40 into a sliding board body, as shown in an overview of
As shown schematically mainly in
As shown schematically in
A prefabricated semi-finished product 40, as illustrated by way of example in
More expediently the joining or pressing cycle shown very schematically in
The filler and adhesive 28, which is preferably based on polyurethane, is formed by a two-component mixture of a polyol and isocyanate which is free-flowing or runny in a processing state and hardens at room temperature. Said components are mixed shortly before processing and mixed during the processing and by using an injection process (RIM) are introduced into the shaping molds 46, 47—FIG. 4—and pressed between the individual layers of the composite body 4 to be produced.
The filler and adhesive 28 which is relatively fluid or slightly flowable in its original state has in the hardened state a density of between 1,000 to 1,200 kg/m3, preferably of about 1,100 kg/m3, and a hardness of between 60 to 90 Shore D, preferably about 70 Shore D. The particularly efficient or economic hardening of the filler and adhesive 28 is also achieved by a filler and adhesive 28 with a basis of polyols and isocyanates to be mixed.
In this way it is achieved that the sliding board body 3 or one-piece composite body 4 to be produced can be removed from the pressing device 45 or can be demolded from the mold 46, 47 after an initial reaction or hardening time of the filler and adhesive 28 of between 1 min and 20 min, preferably between 2 min and 10 min, in particular between 3 min and 5 min, without the risk of delamination.
According to a further measure the sliding board body 3 or the one-piece composite body 4 to be produced is stored without stress and tension at about room temperature after removal from the pressing device 45 and in this case the hardening time of the filler and adhesive 28 is completed prior to further processing of the multilayered sandwich element, in particular prior to a grinding or cutting processing of boundary surfaces of the sliding board body 3. During such a grinding, cutting or chipping process for example the longitudinal side walls 26, 27 of the composite body 4 is provided with trapezoidally inclined longitudinal side surfaces 14, 15 relative to the running surface coating 11 or slightly inclined in the direction of the core element 7, as shown in
The exemplary embodiments show possible embodiment variants of a ski 1, a semi-finished product 40 and production methods relating thereto, whereby it should be noted at this point that the invention is not restricted to the embodiment variants shown in particular, but rather various different combinations of the individual embodiment variants are also possible and this variability, due to the teaching on technical procedure, lies within the ability of a person skilled in the art in this technical field. Thus all conceivable embodiment variants, which are made possible by combining individual details of the embodiment variants shown and described, are also covered by the scope of protection.
Finally, as a point of formality, it should be noted that for a better understanding of the production processes or structures the latter and their components have not been represented true to scale in part and/or have been enlarged and/or reduced in size.
The problem addressed by the independent solutions according to the invention can be taken from the description.
