20090179402 | HORIZONTAL LAMINATED SKI CONSTRUCTION - The invention relates to a core assembly for a gliding board such as a ski or a snowboard. The core assembly includes a plurality of horizontal layers that are sized to various desired lengths, positioned to achieve a desired thickness profile, and laminated. The invention also relates to a method of making a core assembly for a gliding board. | 07-16-2009 |
20100102533 | SNOTZ SNOW SKIS - The SNOTZ Snow Skis are made from synthetic space-age material that exceeds the performance of other skis that have been produced in the past. SNOTZ skis possess the strength and flexibility of a performance ski and weighs less than its closest rival. The base, Teflon, has been compared to the surface of ice which has proved to be very slippery. This factor makes the SNOTZ Skis one of the fastest skis on the ski slopes today. There is no need for preparation of the base with ski waxes since the Teflon base has no porosity to absorb the wax. Also, the ski base has good abrasive resistance to help prevent tears, scratches, and gouges that are randomly found on the surface of the snow. | 04-29-2010 |
20100156067 | METHOD OF PRODUCING A TOP LAYER - The invention relates to a method of producing a top layer ( | 06-24-2010 |
20110031720 | BOARD FOR GLIDING WITH DECORATIVE COMPONENT - A protective top surface ( | 02-10-2011 |
20110272922 | BOARD FOR SLIDING ON SNOW WITH SIDEWALLS OF VARIABLE WIDTH - A ski, monoski, or snowboard includes a central longitudinal core ( | 11-10-2011 |
20130093164 | SKI, SNOWBOARD, OR MONOBOARD WITH DEPTH INDICATOR - A ski, snowboard, or monoboard includes a base layer having a top surface and a bottom surface, a blade disposed on an outer edge of the top surface of the base layer, a lower body layer disposed on the top surface of the base layer and the blade, a core disposed on the lower body layer, an upper body layer disposed on the core, and a depth indicator disposed in the base layer and extending inward from the bottom surface of the base layer. The depth indicator has a visually perceivable characteristic that varies as a function of depth in the base layer. | 04-18-2013 |
20140062064 | Skis and and methods of making same - A ski or snowboard includes a metal layer having integral flanges projecting from its opposite sides to define a cavity for receiving a base layer. Several additional layers of laminated wood and in some versions synthetic polymer or carbon are pressed and bonded together on the metal layer. A method of manufacturing includes a support plate which holds a base layer and edge members received in a slot in the perimeter of the base layer. Additional layers of the ski or snowboard are successively laid on the base layer and pressed and bonded together. | 03-06-2014 |
20150335985 | Snowsport Apparatus With Non-Newtonian Materials - A design for snowsports devices such as skis and snowboards uses non-Newtonian materials. Non-Newtonian materials exhibit rate-sensitive characteristics, with stress vs. strain properties dependent on the rate of loading. The snowsports device with non-Newtonian materials has variable stiffness and damping, with both increasing according to an increased applied load-rate such that a single snowsports device exhibits soft flex characteristics under low applied load-rates, but stiffer flex characteristics under high applied load-rates. The flex of the snowsports device is self-adjusting, with no manual adjustment input required by a user. The non-Newtonian material may be incorporated into the structure of the snowsports device in a number of different ways, including in the core, in composite sheet layers, and other locations. | 11-26-2015 |
