Abstract

Snow-ski board, especially a ski, having at least one trimming mechanism with at least one trimming rod with its axis oriented in the longitudinal direction of the snow-ski board, including at least one damping element and at least one adjusting or tensioning mechanism for supporting the trimming rod on both ends by adjustable mechanical tension.

Claims (18)

1. A snow-ski board comprising:

a binding plate fastened to a ski-board body, the ski-board body including at least one trimming mechanism comprising at least one dampening element;

at least one trimming rod extending from the binding plate with an axis oriented in the longitudinal direction (L) of the snow-ski board and acting on the dampening element upon axial movement of the at least one trimming rod and;

at least one tensioning mechanism for supporting the at least one trimming rod on both ends by adjustable mechanical tension, wherein the at least one tensioning mechanism is provided on the binding plate and provides for adjustable axial support of one end of the at least one trimming rod on the binding plate;

wherein the at least one trimming rod is supported on an end away from the binding plate on the at least one damping element and in an area of the binding plate on a support element of the at least one tensioning mechanism by means of at least one further functional element of the trimming mechanism.

2. The snow-ski board according to claim 1 , wherein the binding plate is for fastening a front and a rear binding element.

3. The snow-ski board according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one trimming rod is accommodated so it is axially movable in a channel formed in the ski-board body.

4. The snow-ski board according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one trimming rod is supported on the end away from the binding plate on a support element on the ski-board body by means of at least one further functional element.

5. The snow-ski board according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one trimming rod is supported on an end adjacent to the binding plate by means of the at least one damping element by means of at least one further functional element of the trimming mechanism.

6. The snow-ski board according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one tensioning mechanism comprises a support element guided in the binding plate in a direction of the snow-ski board longitudinal axis (L).

7. The snow-ski board according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one tensioning mechanism comprises a wedge tensioning element.

8. The snow-ski board according to claim 1 , further comprising at least two trimming mechanisms, one of which is provided in a front area of the ski-board body between the binding plate and a front snow-ski board end and a further trimming mechanism in a rear area of the ski-board body between the binding plate and a rear snow-ski board body end.

9. The snow-ski according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one trimming mechanism comprises at least two mutually offset trimming rods.

10. The snow-ski board according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one trimming mechanism and its functional elements are completely accommodated within the ski-board body.

11. The snow ski-board according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one trimming rod is completely accommodated within the snow-ski board body.

12. The snow-ski board according to claim 8 , wherein the at least two trimming rods are arranged with their longitudinal extension above or below a neutral zone of the ski-board body.

13. The snow-ski board according to claim 9 , wherein a joint tensioning mechanism is provided for the at least two trimming rods.

14. The snow-ski board according to claim 12 , wherein the at least two trimming rods are arranged along their entire length above the neutral zone of the ski-board body.
