| 20110193322 | RUNNING SURFACE FOR A CROSS-COUNTRY SKI OR SIMILAR GENERIC SKI AND CROSS-COUNTRY SKI OR SIMILAR GENERIC SKI EQUIPPED THEREWITH - The invention relates to a running surface for a cross-country ski or similar generic ski, which running surface has a climbing aid profile within a part-portion of its length to prevent backward sliding, which comprises a plurality of consecutive step profiles in the longitudinal direction of the running surface, which are of a saw tooth design as viewed in longitudinal section through the running surface. A flank height of the saw tooth step profiles extending transversely to the longitudinal direction of the running surface increases or decreases continuously or discontinuously by reference to the longitudinal direction of the running surface. Also specified is a cross-country ski or similar generic ski equipped with this running surface. The features proposed by the invention result in an improved ratio between the gliding and kick-off behaviour of the running surface. | 08-11-2011 |
| 20110181023 | Ski or snowboard with means for influencing its cross-sectional shape - A ski or a snowboard is in the form of a board-type gliding device. By reference to the width of the gliding device, at least one recess is provided in its middle portion extending in its depth direction from the top face of the gliding device in the direction towards the running surface facing and disposed in its longitudinal direction essentially parallel with the longitudinal direction of the gliding device with a view to causing a cross-sectional weakening. At least one manually adjustable adjusting device is provided, which is designed to produce an individually adjustable change in the load-dependent deformability of the cross-sectional shape or to produce an individually adjustable limit to the maximum permissible load-dependent cross-sectional deformation of the gliding device. Further, a ski or a snowboard is provided with a manually adjustable adjusting device which is designed to act as a spreading device for producing an individually adjustable increase in the width of the recess on the one hand and to act as a pulling device to produce an individually adjustable decrease in the width of the recess on the other hand. | 07-28-2011 |
| 20110180201 | METHOD FOR PRODUCING AN OUTER LIMITING ELEMENT FOR A SLIDING BOARD BODY AND METHOD FOR PRODUCING A SLIDING BOARD BODY EQUIPPED THEREWITH - The invention relates to a method for producing an outer limiting element for a sliding board body, such as a ski or a snowboard, and a method for producing a sliding board body equipped with said limiting element. The limiting element is formed by a one-piece part component composed of at least one cover layer and at least one part of the strengthening top band. The limiting element is then connected in a subsequent method step to the additional components of the sliding board body, such as its running surface and its strengthening lower band. It is essential in this case that the limiting element prior to connection with the additional components of the sliding board body is connected to at least one strip-like side wall element forming a lateral wall section of the sliding board body, in that the at least one strip-like side wall element is adhered to at least one longitudinal side edge of the cover layer or to the top band arranged on the lower side of the cover layer. The corresponding production method enables as far as possible an inexpensive and error-free production sequence for creating a high quality sliding board body with combined shell and side wall construction. | 07-28-2011 |

| 20110001305 | BOARD-LIKE SLIDING DEVICE IN THE FORM OF A SKI OR SNOWBOARD - The invention relates to a board-like sliding device in the form of a ski or snowboard. Said board-like sliding device comprises a multilayered sliding board body and at least one elongated force-transmitting element supported on the upper side of the sliding board body for influencing the bending resistance or the vibrational behaviour of the sliding board body as well as a binding device for a potentially detachable connection with a sports shoe. Between the lower side of the force-transmitting element and the upper side of the sliding board body at least one engaging coupling means is formed. The force-transmitting element is designed in this case as a thin-walled shell body with a wall thickness of less than 5 mm, which at least over the main part of its longitudinal extension has a substantially U-shaped cross section. At least part sections of the side arms of the force-transmitting element run at least partly in groove-like depressions on the upper side of the sliding board body. | 01-06-2011 |
| 20100319220 | SPORTS SHOE WITH AN OUTER SHELL OF INJECTION MOULDED PLASTIC - The invention relates to a sports shoe with an outer shell of injection moulded plastic, comprising a front foot shell for accommodating the front foot and an adjoining shoe cuff for stabilising the lower leg portion of a user, and with a relatively flexible inner shoe at least partially accommodated in the shell. Disposed in the outer shell is at least one elastically flexible portion which is provided as a means of reducing pressure points from the inner shoe on a user's foot when subjected to compression stress. The elastically flexible portion is provided in the form of at least one membrane element which is designed to vary the volume or width which the shell can accommodate as a function of compression stress due to its slackness or ability to deflect relative to the surrounding part-portions of the shell. | 12-23-2010 |

| 20100148457 | SKI OR SNOWBOARD WITH A BOARD-LIKE FORCE-TRANSMITING ELEMENT - The invention relates to a ski or a snowboard in the form of a board-like sliding device ( | 06-17-2010 |
| 20100109290 | SKI BINDING WITH A POSITIONING AND FIXING MECHANISM FOR ITS BINDING PIECE BODIES - The invention describes a ski binding with guide elements for a front and a rear binding piece body oriented in the binding longitudinal direction, which binding piece bodies are designed to retain the front respectively rear end portion of a sports shoe. This ski binding comprises a first coupling element connected to the front binding piece body and a second coupling element connected to the rear binding piece body, and mutually facing end portions of these coupling elements co-operate with a positioning and fixing mechanism disposed between the binding piece bodies in order to adjust and retain the binding piece bodies by reference to the binding longitudinal direction. The positioning elements of the first and second coupling elements are respectively disposed on the left-hand and/or right-hand side faces of the two coupling elements lying one above the other by reference to the standing plane and by reference to the binding longitudinal direction. The first and second coupling element can be selectively rigidly coupled with one another and uncoupled from one another by means of at least one lock element mounted so as to be displaceable essentially at a right angle to the vertical plane, to enable the respective required distance between the binding pieces to be fixed. | 05-06-2010 |
