Ski having a mounting aid for a binding, process for the manufacture of such a ski, and corresponding mounting aid
View Patent ↗Ski or similar device for sliding on snow having a mounting aid for a binding ( 28 ) or for components thereof, which aid is mounted on the top face ( 32 ) of the ski and is especially in the form of a binding plate ( 10 ), wherein the mounting aid or binding plate ( 10 ) is durably connected to the top face ( 32 ) of the ski in such a manner that ski ( 23 ) and mounting aid or binding plate ( 10 ) form an integral constructional unit in terms of the mechanical properties.
1. A device for sliding on snow comprising;
a ski having a ski top-face;
a binding plate comprising at least one lug extending downward from the binding plate and extending at least partially within at least one complementary recesses in the ski top face, the binding plate having an underside bonded to the ski top-face with a layer of adhesive covering the entire underside and without including screws; and
an edge groove disposed around a perimeter of the underside configured to receive excess adhesive.
2. The device of claim 1 , wherein the layer of adhesive has a maximum thickness of 5-10% of a thickness of the binding plate.
3. The device of claim 1 , wherein the layer of adhesive does not define a damping volume in between the ski top-face and the underside of the binding plate.
4. The device of claim 1 , wherein the ski and the binding plate form an integral constructional unit in respect of mechanical properties.
5. The device of claim 1 , wherein the binding plate comprises two longitudinal edges defining undercuts between the binding plate and the ski top face, the undercuts configured to engage a binding or a binding component.
6. The device of claim 5 , wherein the binding plate has a T-shaped cross section.
7. The device of claim 5 , wherein the binding plate has a U-shaped cross section.
8. The device of claim 1 , wherein the binding plate consists of a material selected from the group consisting of a plastics material, a wood laminate, a plastics/wood laminate, a plastics/metal laminate, and a plastics/wood laminate and a plastics/metal laminate.
9. The device of claim 1 , wherein the biding plate comprises a flat, one-piece plate that is thin relative to the ski.
10. The device of claim 1 , wherein the ski top-face is includes a roughened surface to increase the strength of adhesion between the binding plate and the ski top-face.
11. A device for sliding on snow comprising;
a ski having a ski top-face;
a binding plate having a top surface having a plurality of snap-in elements spaced apart in a longitudinal direction for snap-in position of a binding to the binding plate and an underside bonded to the ski top-face with a layer of adhesive covering the entire underside and without including screws; and
an edge groove disposed around a perimeter of the underside configured to receive excess adhesive.
12. The device of claim 11 , wherein the snap-in elements comprise detent notches configured to receive at least a portion of a binding or binding component.
13. The device of claim 11 , wherein the layer of adhesive has a maximum thickness of 5-10% of a thickness of the binding plate.
14. The device of claim 11 , wherein the layer of adhesive does not define a damping volume in between the ski top-face and the underside of the binding plate.
15. The device of claim 11 , wherein the ski and the binding plate form an integral constructional unit in respect of mechanical properties.
16. The device of claim 11 , wherein the binding plate comprises two longitudinal edges defining undercuts between the binding plate and the ski top face, the undercuts configured to engage a binding or a binding component.
17. The device of claim 16 , wherein the binding plate has a T-shaped cross section.
18. The device of claim 16 , wherein the binding plate has a U-shaped cross section.
19. The device of claim 11 , wherein the biding plate comprises a flat, one-piece plate that is thin relative to the ski.
20. The device of claim 11 , wherein the ski top-face is includes a roughened surface to increase the strength of adhesion between the binding plate and the ski top-face.
