Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft einen Ski sowie ein Verfahren zur Montage von Zusatzelementen, z.B. Skibindung und Skibremse, am Ski.The present invention relates to a ski and a method for assembling additional elements, e.g. Ski binding and ski brake, on the ski.

Üblicherweise werden Zusatzelemente, wie Skibindungen und Skibremsen, entweder direkt oder mittels einer Bindungsplatte am Ski durch Verschraubung befestigt. Dabei wird die Bindung entweder direkt am Ski angeschraubt oder die Bindungsplatte mit dem Ski verschraubt und die Bindung auf der Bindungsplatte montiert.Usually additional elements such as ski bindings and ski brakes, either directly or by means of a binding plate attached to the ski by screwing. The binding is either bolted directly to the ski or bolted the binding plate to the ski and the binding mounted on the binding plate.

In jüngerer Zeit hat einhergehend mit der Verbreitung von Carvingskiern die Verwendung einer Bindungsplatte zur Montage der Skibindung breite Anwendung gefunden. Es hat sich gezeigt, dass es dabei vorteilhaft ist, wenn zumindest ein Bindungselement bezüglich des Skikörpers beweglich gelagert ist, um beispielsweise die Biegelinie des Skis durch die Bindungsplatte und den Bindungsaufbau möglichst wenig zu stören.Recently, along with the spread of carving skis, the use of a binding plate for mounting the ski binding has been widely used. It has been shown that it is advantageous if at least one binding element is movably mounted with respect to the ski body in order, for example, to disturb as little as possible the bending line of the ski through the binding plate and the binding structure.

Eine bekannte Bindungsmontagevorrichtung ist beispielsweise in der DE-U-200 12 437 beschrieben. Die Vorrichtung weist eine vordere Basisplatte mit einer Montagezone auf, die für ein vorderes Rückhalteelement vorgesehen ist, und eine hintere Basisplatte mit einer Montagezone, die für ein hinteres Rückhalteelement vorgesehen ist. Die hintere Basisplatte hat in ihrem unteren Teil einen transversalen Drehzapfen für eine Verbindung mit dem Ski, um welchen die Basisplatte relativ zum Ski frei schwingen kann, wenn sie auf dem Ski installiert ist. Die andere Basisplatte weist eine Platine auf, die die Montagezone und Einrichtungen für eine Montage auf dem Ski aufweist, die dafür vorgesehen sind, die Platine fest mit dem Ski zu verbinden, oder in einer Führung längst der longitudinalen Richtung des Skis über eine begrenzte Amplitude gleiten kann. Die Basisplatten sind durch eine nicht erweiterbare bzw. nicht dehnbare Verbindung miteinander verbunden, wobei die Verbindung derart ausgebildet ist, dass sie sich einer relativen Entfernung der Basisplatten voneinander wieder selbst und gegenüber einer relativen Annäherung der Basisplatten neutral ist .A known binding mounting device is for example in DE-U-200 12 437 described. The apparatus comprises a front base plate having a mounting zone provided for a front retaining member and a rear base plate having a mounting zone provided for a rear retaining member. The rear base plate has in its lower part a transverse pivot for connection to the ski about which the base plate can swing freely relative to the ski when installed on the ski. The other baseplate has a circuit board having the mounting zone and means for mounting on the ski intended to firmly connect the circuit board to the ski or to slide in a guide along the longitudinal direction of the ski over a limited amplitude can. The base plates are interconnected by a non-expandable connection, the connection being configured to be neutral to itself relative to relative removal of the base plates and neutral to relative approach of the base plates.

Die DE-U-200 12 438 beschreibt eine ähnliche Vorrichtung, wobei dort die vordere Basisplatte in ihrem unteren Teil einen transversalen Drehzapfen für eine Verbindung mit dem Ski aufweist, um den die Basisplatte frei relativ zum Ski springen kann, wenn sie auf dem Ski installiert ist. Die hintere Basisplatte weist Einrichtungen auf, die vorgesehen sind, um die Basisplatte fest auf dem Ski zu montieren. Die Basisplatten sind auch hier durch eine nicht erweiterbare Verbindung miteinander verbunden.The DE-U-200 12 438 describes a similar device, wherein there the front base plate in its lower part has a transverse pivot for connection to the ski, around which the base plate can jump freely relative to the ski when it is installed on the ski. The rear base plate has means provided for mounting the base plate firmly on the ski. The base plates are also connected to each other here by a non-expandable connection.

Die in der DE-U-200 13 978 beschriebene Vorrichtung weist zwei transversale Drehzapfen auf, wobei jeweils einer dem vorderen Bindungselement und dem hinteren Bindungselement zugeordnet ist. Der Abstand zwischen den beiden Drehzapfen liegt im Bereich von 156 bis 376 mm.The in the DE-U-200 13 978 The device described has two transverse pivots, one of each of the front binding element and the rear binding element assigned. The distance between the two pivot pins is in the range of 156 to 376 mm.

Die EP-A-1 175 925 beschreibt einen Alpinski mit einem länglichen Skikörper, der ein vorderes Ende, ein hinteres Ende und einen Mittelbereich aufweist. Der Skikörper besteht aus einem Hauptkern, der eine Lauffläche des Skis bedeckt, einem Stapel von Gleit- und Verstärkungsschichten mit zwei seitlichen Skikanten, wobei der Kern selbst durch einen Stapel von Verstärkungs- und möglicherweise Dekorationsschichten bedeckt ist. Im Mittelbereich des Skis ist dem Hauptkern ein Hilfskern überlagert, der in diesem Mittelbereich eine von der Oberfläche des Skis vorstehende Rippe mit reduzierter Breite bildet. Auf dieser vorstehenden Rippe wird eine Bindungsplatte mittels zweier Querzapfen, die sich durch die Rippe und die Bindungsplatte erstrecken, befestigt.The EP-A-1 175 925 describes an alpine ski with an elongated ski body having a front end, a rear end, and a central region. The ski body consists of a main core covering a running surface of the ski, a stack of sliding and reinforcing layers having two lateral ski edges, the core itself being covered by a stack of reinforcing and possibly decorative layers. In the middle region of the ski, an auxiliary core is superimposed on the main core, which forms a rib of reduced width protruding from the surface of the ski in this central region. On this projecting rib, a binding plate is fastened by means of two transverse pins which extend through the rib and the binding plate.

Ferner beschreibt die EP-A-1 161 972 einen Ski mit einem Profilschienensystem, das zumindest im Bindungsbereich an der Skioberseite vorgesehen ist. Das Profilschienensystem besteht wenigstens aus einer sich in Skilängsrichtung erstreckenden Profilschiene, die zum Befestigen von Funktionselementen, beispielsweise einer Bindung oder deren Elemente oder einer Bindungsplatte, durch Aufschieben auf die Schiene dient. Die Profilschiene ist über mehrere an geformte Dübel oder Dübelabschnitte durch eine Dübelverbindung oder -verankerung mit dem Skikörper verbunden.Furthermore, the describes EP-A-1 161 972 a ski with a profile rail system, which is provided at least in the binding area on the ski upper side. The profiled rail system consists of at least one extending in the longitudinal direction of the rail, which serves for fastening of functional elements, such as a binding or its elements or a binding plate, by pushing on the rail. The rail is connected to a plurality of molded dowels or dowel sections by a dowel connection or anchoring to the ski body.

EP-A-1 279 421 stellt Stand der Technik nach Art. 54(3) dar und offenbart einen Ski mit einer Haltevorrichtung, die dazu bestimmt ist, auf dem Ski montiert zu werden, um Bindungselemente zu halten, die einen Schuh eines Benutzers fest mit dem Ski verbinden Die Haltevorrichtung weist zwei Längsteile mit seitlichen Zusammenwirhnitteln auf, die dazu bestimmt sind, in Eingriff mit komplementären Zusammenwirkmitteln zu kommen, die seitlich im Bezug auf den Ski angeordnet sind und miteinander mittels mindestens eines der Bindungselemente (Vorderbacken oder Fersenautomat) zusammengebaut werden. Dadurch wird eine Querverbindung der beiden Langsteile sichergestellt Die seitlichen Zusammenwirkmittel weisen die Form mindestens eines Abschnitts auf, der eine Gleitführung bildet und in einem Seitenrand jedes der beiden Längsteile angeordnet und dazu bestimmt ist, mit den komplementären Zusammenwirkmittelm zusammenzuwirken, die die Form mindestens einer eine Gleitführung bildenden Zone aufweisen, die in Seitenflächen des Skis angeordnet ist . EP-A-1 279 421 represents state of the art according to Art. 54 (3) and discloses a ski with a holding device which is intended to be mounted on the ski to hold binding elements which firmly connect a user's shoe to the ski. The holding device has two longitudinal parts with lateral engagement means intended to come into engagement with complementary cooperation means arranged laterally with respect to the ski and assembled together by at least one of the binding elements (toe or heel automaton). This ensures a transverse connection of the two longitudinal parts. The lateral cooperation means have the shape of at least one section which forms a sliding guide and is arranged in a side edge of each of the two longitudinal parts and is intended to cooperate with the complementary cooperation means which form at least one sliding guide have forming zone which is arranged in side surfaces of the ski.

Die WO 88/04563 auf der der Oberbegriff von Anspruch 1 basiert, beschreibt eine in Längsrichtung eines Skis justierbare Skibindung für Langlauf- und Tourenski. Die Skibindung erlaubt ein verschiebliches Justieren desjenigen Abschnittes entlang des Skis, an dem der Skischuh befestigt wird, so dass der Schwerpunkt des Skiläufers relativ zu einem mittleren Abschnitt des Skis versetzt werden kann.The WO 88/04563 on which the preamble of claim 1 is based describes a ski binding adjustable in the longitudinal direction of a ski binding for cross-country and touring skis. The ski binding allows a slidable adjustment of the portion along the ski to which the ski boot is attached, so that the center of gravity of the skier can be offset relative to a central portion of the ski.

Sämtliche dieser bekannten Ski und Montagevorrichtungen zur Bindungsmontage haben den Nachteil, dass die Bindungsplatten oder Bindungselemente durch Hilfsmittel am Ski befestigt werden müssen, was insbesondere die Biegelinie des Skis negativ beeinflusst, zusätzliche Montageschritte erfordert, den Skikörper schwächt und wenig flexibel ist. Dies trifft insbesondere bei der Verwendung von Schrauben, Dübeln und Bolzen zu.All of these known ski and mounting devices for binding assembly have the disadvantage that the binding plates or binding elements must be attached by tools on the ski, which in particular adversely affects the bending line of the ski, requires additional assembly steps, the ski body weakens and is not very flexible. This is especially true when using screws, dowels and bolts.

Die DE-C-195 27 063 beschreibt einen Ski, bei dem die Skibindung mittels einer Grund-/Trägerplatte am Ski befestigbar ist. Die Grund-/Trägerplatte weist in der Breite zueinander veränderliche Klemmbacken auf, die mittels Klemmkanten in eine Längsnut und an den Skiseitenflächen eingreift und damit in Verriegelungsstellung gebracht werden können. Die Klemmbacken und darauf angeordnete Führungsblöcke gleiten in einem Führungsschlitz und einer Führungsschiene der Grundplatte entsprechend der Skibreite. Eine Zentrierung der Grundplatte sowie eine horizontale Klemmwirkung beider Klemmbacken erfolgt durch eine einzige Schraube bzw. Mutter. Als Nachteil dieser Konstruktion ist insbesondere die Verwendung einer separaten Bindungsplatte zu sehen, durch die die Biegelinie des Skikörpers wesentlich beeinflusst wird. Des Weiteren ragt die Bindungsplatte in Querrichtung über die Breite des Skikörpers beidseitig hinaus, so dass diese Konstruktion z.B. bei Kurvenfahrten, insbesondere in Verbindung mit Carvingski, nachteilig ist, weil die Bindungsplatte Kontakt mit dem Untergrund bekommt.The DE-C-195 27 063 describes a ski in which the ski binding by means of a base / support plate can be attached to the ski. The base / support plate has in width mutually variable jaws, which engages by means of clamping edges in a longitudinal groove and the ski side surfaces and thus can be brought into the locked position. The jaws and guide blocks arranged thereon slide in a guide slot and a guide rail of the base plate according to the ski width. A centering of the base plate and a horizontal clamping action of both jaws takes place by a single screw or nut. The disadvantage of this construction is in particular the use of a separate binding plate to see, through which the bending line of the ski body is significantly affected. Furthermore, the binding plate protrudes on both sides in the transverse direction across the width of the ski body, so that this construction, for example when cornering, especially in connection with carving skis, is disadvantageous because the binding plate gets in contact with the ground.

Die DE-C-27 11 199 beschreibt ein Befestigungselement für ein Skibindungsteil ohne Verwendung von Befestigungsschrauben mit Befestigungsbacken, die in den Bereich der Skiseitenflächen hineinragen, in dem Abstand zueinander veränderbar und in Klemmstellung bringbar sind und an ihren freien Enden zum Ski gerichtete Vorsprünge aufweisen, die in in den Skiseitenflächen vorhandenen Längsnuten eingreifen. Auch bei dieser Konstruktion ragt das Befestigungselement über die Breite des Skikörpers hinaus, woraus sich hinsichtlich der Verwendung des Skis ebenfalls Nachteile ergeben.The DE-C-27 11 199 describes a fastener for a ski binding without the use of fastening screws with mounting jaws, which protrude into the region of the ski side surfaces, in the distance mutually changeable and can be brought into clamping position and at their free ends to the ski directed projections which engage in existing in the ski side surfaces longitudinal grooves , In this construction too, the fastening element projects beyond the width of the ski body, which also has disadvantages with regard to the use of the ski.

Die EP-A-0 383 104 bezieht sich auf einen Ski mit einer Skibindung, die aus Vorderbacken und aus einem mit diesem über ein Verbindungsglied gekoppelten Fersenhalter besteht. Vorderbacken und Fersenhalten sind auf je einem im Querschnitt U-förmigen Schlitten befestigt, an dessen freien Schenkelenden nach innen ragende Flunche angesetzt sind, die in einer skifesten Führungsschiene gelagert sind. Auch in diesem Fall ist eine Bindungsplatte vorgesehen, die über die Breite des Skikörpers hinausragt.The EP-A-0 383 104 refers to a ski with a ski binding, which consists of toe cheeks and a heel holder coupled to this via a connecting link. Toe and heel hold are each mounted on a cross-sectionally U-shaped carriage, are attached to the free leg ends inwardly projecting Flunche, which are mounted in a ski-resistant guide rail. Also in this case, a binding plate is provided, which extends beyond the width of the ski body.

Die DE-A-197 53 451 offenbart ein Befestigungssystem für Skibindungen, das ein mit einem Ski verbundenes Halteelement aufweist, das lösbar mit einer mit einer Skibindung verbundenen Bindungsplatte verbunden ist. Das Halteelement ist am Skikörper angeschraubt und ist beispielsweise mittels einer Schwalbenschwanzführtmg mit der Bindungsplatte verbindbar. Durch diese Konstruktion des mit dem Skikörper verschraubten Halteelements und der daran mittels Schwalbenschwanzverbindung angebrachte Verbindungsplatte wird die Biegelinie des Skis wesentlich beeinflusst.The DE-A-197 53 451 discloses a ski binding attachment system having a ski-associated retention member releasably connected to a binding panel connected to a ski binding. The retaining element is screwed to the ski body and can be connected to the binding plate, for example, by means of a dovetail guide. Due to this construction of the retaining element bolted to the ski body and the connecting plate attached thereto by means of a dovetail joint, the bending line of the ski is substantially influenced.

Der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen verbesserten Ski bereit zu stellen, mit dem die Bindungsmontage erleichtert wird und gleichzeitig die Eigenschaften des Skis nicht wesentlich nachteilig beeinflusst werden. Eine weitere Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ist die Bereitstellung eines verbesserten Verfahrens zur Bindungsmontage. Diese Aufgaben werden mit den Merkmalen der Patentansprüche gelöst.The present invention has for its object to provide an improved ski, with which the binding assembly is facilitated and at the same time the properties of the ski are not significantly adversely affected. Another object of the present invention is to provide an improved method of bond assembly. These objects are achieved with the features of the claims.

Die Erfindung geht dabei von dem Grundgedanken aus, in den Skikörper des Skis eine Montrageeinrichtung zu integrieren, mit der die Skibindung direkt am Ski befestigt werden kann. Dazu ist die Montageeinrichtung prinzipiell in Art einer Bindungsplatte ausgebildet und in den Skikörper eingearbeitet. Dementsprechend weist der erfindungsgemäße Ski sämtliche Vorteile, die mit der Verwendung einer Bindungsplatte einhergehen, auf und hat den zusätzlich erheblichen Vorteil, dass die Bindung direkt an der Montageeinrichtung montiert werden kann. Dazu sind typischerweise keine weiteren Hilfsmittel, wie Schrauben, Bolzen oder Dübel erforderlich. Die Breite der Montageeinrichtung liegt dabei im Bereich von etwa 50 % bis 95 %, vorzugsweise im Bereich von etwa 75 % bis 90 % der kleinsten Breite des Skikörpers. Dadurch ist insbesondere bei Carvingski gewährleistet, dass sich kein Teil der Montageeinrichtung über die Breite des Skikörpers hinaus erstreckt und so zu einer Beeinträchtigung des Fahrverhalten des Skis führt, indem beispielsweise ein Teil der Montageeinrichtung mit dem Untergrund in Kontakt kommt.The invention is based on the idea of integrating into the ski body of the ski a Montrageeinrichtung with which the ski binding can be attached directly to the ski. For this purpose, the mounting device is formed in principle in the manner of a binding plate and incorporated into the ski body. Accordingly, the ski according to the invention has all the advantages associated with the use of a binding plate, and has the additional significant advantage that the binding can be mounted directly on the mounting device. For this typically no further aids, such as screws, bolts or dowels are required. The width of the mounting device is in the range of about 50% to 95%, preferably in the range of about 75% to 90% of the smallest width of the ski body. As a result, it is ensured, in particular with carving skis, that no part of the mounting device extends beyond the width of the ski body and thus leads to impairment the driving behavior of the ski leads, for example, by a part of the mounting device comes into contact with the ground.

In einer bevorzugte, Ausführungsform wird die Bindung des Montageeinrichtung klemmend befestigt. Erfindungsgemäß weist die (Montageeinrichtung mindestens eine in Längsrichtung des Skis verlaufende hinterschnittene Nut) in einer Einlage auf, vorzugsweise jedoch zwei parallel zueinander verlaufende Nuten, die auf voneinander weg weisenden Seiten offen sind. Die Integration des Montagelements in den Skikörper erfolgt vorzugsweise dadurch, dass eine geeignete Aufnahmeschiene bereits beim Verleimen des Skikörpers mit verpresst wird oder dass der Kernkomplex des Skis durch den Einbau eines geeigneten Materials so gestaltet wird, dass eine geeignete Führungsnut durch nachträgliches Fräsen (z.B. im Durchlauf) bei der Anfertigung des Skis geschaffen wird.In a preferred embodiment, the binding of the mounting device is fastened by clamping. According to the invention, the (mounting device has at least one undercut groove extending in the longitudinal direction of the ski) in an insert, but preferably two mutually parallel grooves, which are open on sides facing away from one another. The integration of the mounting element in the ski body preferably takes place in that a suitable receiving rail is already pressed during the gluing of the ski body or that the core complex of the ski is designed by the incorporation of a suitable material so that a suitable guide groove by subsequent milling (eg in the run ) is created during the production of the ski.

Die Materialauswahl bzw. die Werkstoffkombination für die Montageeinrichtung, insbesondere den Teil der Montageeinrichtung, in dem die Nut ausgebildet wird, sind so zu wählen, dass gute Gleiteigenschaften für die zu montierende Bindung bereitgestellt werden. Insbesondere besteht die Einlage aus duroplastischem Kunststoff thermoplastischem Kunststoff, einem faserverstärkten Kunststoff, insbesondere glasfaserverstärktens Kunststoff, oder einem kunststoffbeschichteten metallischen Werkstoff. In einigen Fällen kann es bevorzugt sein, die für die Montageeinrichtung integrierten Führungsteile durch Vorbehandlungen, insbesondere für die Verklebung zu präparieren, um eine für eine hinreichende Integration in den Skikörper notwendige Affinität zu den im Skibau typischerweise verwendeten Epoxidharzen bzw. Epoxidprepregs bereitzustellen.The choice of material or the material combination for the mounting device, in particular the part of the mounting device in which the groove is formed, should be chosen so that good sliding properties are provided for the binding to be mounted. In particular, the insert consists of thermosetting plastic thermoplastic material, a fiber-reinforced plastic, in particular glass fiber reinforced plastic, or a plastic-coated metallic material. In some cases, it may be preferable to prepare the guide parts integrated for the mounting device by means of pretreatments, in particular for the bonding, in order to provide an affinity for the epoxy resins or epoxide prepregs typically used in ski construction for a sufficient integration into the ski body.

Bei geometrischer Ausgestaltung des Skikörpers sollte darauf geachtet werden, dass einerseits das Aufschieben der Bindungsteile, insbesondere als Wahlmöglichkeit mit einer Skibremse und einer Verbindungszunge zwischen den Bindungsteilen, einfach zu bewerkstelligen ist und andererseits die differenzielle Biegesteifigkeit bzw. Biegelinie des Skis nicht wesentlich negativ beeinflusst wird. Diese Gefahr besteht insbesondere durch die typischerweise erforderliche Vergrößerung der Dicke bzw. Höhe des Skis im Bindungsmontagebereich. Dies wird vorzugsweise durch eine geeignete Veränderung der Querschnittsform des Skikörpers entlang der Länge des Skis realisiert.In the case of a geometric design of the ski body, care should be taken that, on the one hand, the sliding of the binding parts, in particular as a choice with a ski brake and a connecting tongue between the binding parts, is easy to accomplish and, on the other hand, the differential flexural rigidity or bending line of the ski is not significantly adversely affected. This danger is in particular due to the typically required increase in the thickness or height of the ski in the binding mounting area. This is preferably realized by a suitable change in the cross-sectional shape of the ski body along the length of the ski.

Die Längsfixierung der Bindungsteile (Backen- und Fersenteil) erfolgt vorzugsweise analog zu der Bindungsmontage auf herkömmlichen Bindungsplatten, die durch ihre integrierte Führung ein freies Biegen bzw. Flexen erlauben. Das ist insbesondere vorteilhaft, um beim Durchbiegen des Skis durch die Anordnung der Bindung und des Schuhs auf dem Ski diesen nicht zu verspannen, das heißt seine Biegelinie nicht negativ zu beeinflussen. Beim erfindungsgemäßen Ski sind sämtliche Variationen von "Free-Flex" möglich wie sie aus der entsprechenden Bindungsplatte bekannt sind. So ist beispielsweise die Fixierung des Backenteils der Bindung und ein freies Flexen des Fersenteils über die Verbindungszunge, mit der der Backenteil mit dem Fersenteil verbunden ist, möglich. Umgekehrt kann auch der Fersenteil befestigt und der Backenteil frei beweglich sein. Alternativ dazu ist es auch möglich, Backen- und Fersenteil beweglich zu führen und die Längsfixierung an der Verbindungszunge beispielsweise in der Mitte der Zunge vorzunehmen. Die Fixierung des jeweiligen Teils bezüglich möglicher Längsverschiebungen kann beispielsweise durch eine Verrasterung, Klemmung, Verspannung und ähnliches in der Führung auf einfache Weise realisiert werden.The longitudinal fixing of the binding parts (cheek and heel part) is preferably carried out analogously to the binding assembly on conventional binding plates, which allow a free bending or flexing by their integrated guide. This is particularly advantageous in order not to distort the bending of the ski as a result of the arrangement of the binding and the shoe on the ski, that is to say that it does not adversely affect its bending line. In the ski according to the invention all variations of "Free-Flex" are possible as they are known from the corresponding binding plate. For example, the fixation of the jaw part the binding and a free flexing of the heel part via the connecting tongue, with which the jaw part is connected to the heel part possible. Conversely, the heel part can also be attached and the jaw part can move freely. Alternatively, it is also possible to move the cheek and heel part movable and make the longitudinal fixation on the connecting tongue, for example in the middle of the tongue. The fixation of the respective part with respect to possible longitudinal displacements can be realized in a simple manner, for example by latching, clamping, bracing and the like in the guide.

Zum Montieren einer Bindung an einem Ski werden zunächst ein erfindungsgemäßer Ski mit einer Montageeinrichtung und eine Bindung unit einer Ein- griffseinrichtung, die mit der Montageeinrichtung in Eingriff bringbar ist, bereitgestellt Anschließend werden die Eingriffseinrichtung der Bindung und die Montageeinrichtung des Skis zusammengeführt. Abschließend wird die Bindung am Ski mittels der Montageeinrichtung fixiert. Die Eingriffseinrichtung der Bindung weist vorzugsweise Vorsprünge auf, die während des Zusammenführens in eine Nut der Montageeinrichtung eingeschoben werden. Das Fixieren der Bindung erfolgt bevorzugt ausschließlich durch Klemmen. Vorzugsweise weist die Bindung zwei Bindungselemente und optional eine Skibremse auf, die durch einen Verbindungssteg miteinander verbunden sind.To mount a binding to a ski, a ski according to the invention with a mounting device and a binding unit of an engagement device, which can be brought into engagement with the mounting device, are provided first. Subsequently, the engagement device of the binding and the mounting device of the ski are brought together. Finally, the binding is fixed to the ski by means of the mounting device. The engagement means of the binding preferably has projections which are inserted during the merging in a groove of the mounting device. The fixing of the bond is preferably carried out exclusively by clamping. Preferably, the binding has two binding elements and optionally a ski brake, which are connected to each other by a connecting web.

Der in Figur 1 dargestellte erfindungsgemäße Ski 2 weist im Wesentlichen einen länglichen Skikörper 4 mit einem vorderen Skiende 6 und einem hinteren Skiende 8, sowie eine Montageeinrichtung 10 auf, mit deren Hilfe eine im Wesentlichen aus einem vorderen Bindungselement 12 und einem hinteren Bindungselement 14 bestehende Skibindung direkt am Ski 2 montiert werden kann. Die Montageeinrichtung 10 ist derart in den Skikörper 4 integriert, dass sie ausreichend fest mit dem Skikörper 4 verbunden ist, um die Bindungselemente 12 und 14 aufzunehmen und den bei der Benutzung des Skis 2 auftretenden Belastungen standzuhalten.The in FIG. 1 illustrated ski 2 according to the invention essentially comprises an elongate ski body 4 with a front end 6 and a rear ski end 8, and a mounting device 10, with the help of a substantially consisting of a front binding element 12 and a rear binding element 14 ski binding directly on the ski. 2 can be mounted. The mounting device 10 is integrated into the ski body 4 such that it is sufficiently firmly connected to the ski body 4 to receive the binding elements 12 and 14 and to withstand the loads occurring during use of the ski 2.

Entsprechend der in den Figuren dargestellten bevorzugten Ausführungsform des erfindungsgemäßen. Skis 2 ist die Montageeinrichtung 10 derart ausgebildet, dass die Bindung 12, 14 vom vorderen Ende 4 und/oder vom hinteren Ende 8 des Skis 2 aufgeschoben und daran vorzugsweise klemmend befestigt werden kann. Dazu weisen die Bindungselemente 12, 14 an ihrer Unterseite jeweils eine im Wesentlichen im Querschnitt C-förmige Eingriffseinrichtung 16 auf, deren freie Enden 18 und 20 in jeweilige an den Seiten der Montageeinrichtung 10 vorgesehene Längsnuten 22 und 24 eingreifen.According to the illustrated in the figures preferred embodiment of the invention. Skis 2, the mounting device 10 is formed such that the bond 12, 14 pushed from the front end 4 and / or from the rear end 8 of the ski 2 and can be attached thereto preferably by clamping. For this purpose, the binding elements 12, 14 each have on their undersides a substantially cross-sectionally C-shaped engagement device 16, the free ends 18 and 20 of which engage in respective longitudinal grooves 22 and 24 provided on the sides of the mounting device 10.

Die Montageeinrichtung 10 ragt vorzugsweise über die ansonsten im Wesentlichen flache Oberfläche 26 des Skis 2 hinaus und befindet sich typischerweise im herkömmlichen Bindungsmontagebereich des Skis. Entsprechend der räumlichen Darstellung in Figur 1 weist die Montageeinrichtung 10 entlang der Länge des Skis 2 unterschiedliche Querschnittsformen und/oder Abmessungen auf, um einen möglichst harmonischen Übergang von der ebenen Skioberfläche 26 zur Montageeinrichtung zu bilden und die optimale Biegelinie des Skis zumindest weitgehend beizubehalten. Die Länge der Montageeinrichtung 10 beträgt vom Montagepunkt aus betrachtet jeweils etwa 250 bis 400 mm in jede Richtung, sie hat also eine Gesamtlänge von etwa 500 bis 800 mm. Die Höhe des Skis 2 im Bereich der Montageeinrichtung 10 liegt vorzugsweise im Bereich zwischen etwa 12 bis 25 mm und kann entlang der Länge des Skis 2 variieren. Die Breite der Montageeinrichtung 10 liegt im Bereich von etwa 50 bis 95 %, bevorzugt im Bereich von etwa 75 bis 90 % der kleinsten Breite des Skikörpers 4. Die Nut 22 bzw. 24 hat vorzugsweise eine Tiefe von etwa 2,0 bis 5,0 mm, besonders bevorzugt von etwa 2,5 bis 3,5 mm, sowie eine Höhe bzw. Breite von etwa 1,5 bis 4, 0 mm, besonders bevorzugt von etwa 2, 0 bis 3,0 mm.The mounting device 10 preferably protrudes beyond the otherwise substantially flat surface 26 of the ski 2 and is typically in the conventional binding mounting region of the ski. According to the spatial representation in FIG. 1 For example, the mounting device 10 has different cross-sectional shapes and / or dimensions along the length of the ski 2 in order to form the most harmonious transition possible from the flat ski surface 26 to the mounting device and to at least largely maintain the optimum bending line of the ski. The length of the mounting device 10 is viewed from the mounting point from each about 250 to 400 mm in each direction, so it has an overall length of about 500 to 800 mm. The height of the ski 2 in the region of the mounting device 10 is preferably in the range between about 12 to 25 mm and may vary along the length of the ski 2. The width of the mounting device 10 is in the range of about 50 to 95%, preferably in the range of about 75 to 90% of the smallest width of the ski body 4. The groove 22 or 24 preferably has a depth of about 2.0 to 5.0 mm, more preferably from about 2.5 to 3.5 mm, and a height or width of about 1.5 to 4, 0 mm, more preferably from about 2, 0 to 3.0 mm.

In den Figuren 3 und 4 sind zwei beispielhafte Ausführungsformen des erfindungsgemäßen Ski im Querschnitt dargestellt. Entsprechend dieser Darstellungen weist der Skikörper 4 im Wesentlichen eine Lauffläche 28, einen Skikern 30 und eine Deckschicht 32 auf, die sich von der Lauffläche 28 um den Skikern 30 von einer Seite des Skis 2 zur anderen erstreckt. Der Skikem 30 ist im Wesentlichen aus miteinander verklebten und verpressten Einzelschichten, typischerweise aus organischen Materialien (z.B. Holz) aufgebaut, wobei zusätzlich Einlagen 34 und 36 vorgesehen sind, in denen die Nuten 22 und 24 ausgebildet sind. Vorzugsweise weist der Skikörper 4 ferner Verstärkungsschichten (nicht dargestellt) über und/oder unter dem Skikern 30 auf, die z.B. aus Metall, Kunststoff (z.B. Epoxidprepregs) gebildet sein können. Die Einlagen 34, 36 können sich über einen Teil der Höhe des Skikerns erstrecken, wie dies in Figur 3 gezeigt ist, oder über die gesamte Höhe des Kerns 30, wie in Figur 4 gezeigt. Die Einlagen 34 und 36 - auch als Führungsteile bezeichnet - sind aus einem duroplastischen Kunststoff, thermoplastischen Kunststoff, aus einem faserverstärkten Kunststoff, insbesondere glasfaserverstärkten Kunststoff, oder aus einem kunststoffbeschichteten metallischen Werkstoff gebildet, um mit den freien Enden 18 und 20 der üblicherweise aus Metall (z.B. Stahl) gebildeten Eingriffseinrichtung 16 gute Gleiteigenschaften bereitzustellen, so dass die Bindungselemente 12 und 14 gut entlang des Skis 2 verschoben werden können.In the FIGS. 3 and 4 two exemplary embodiments of the ski according to the invention are shown in cross section. According to these illustrations, the ski body 4 essentially comprises a running surface 28, a ski core 30 and a cover layer 32 which extends from the running surface 28 around the ski core 30 from one side of the ski 2 to the other. The ski core 30 is essentially constructed of individual layers glued and pressed together, typically of organic materials (eg wood), with additional inserts 34 and 36 in which the grooves 22 and 24 are formed. Preferably, the ski body 4 further comprises reinforcing layers (not shown) above and / or below the ski core 30, which may be formed of metal, plastic (eg epoxy prepregs), for example. The inserts 34, 36 may extend over part of the height of the ski core, as shown in FIG FIG. 3 is shown, or over the entire height of the core 30, as in FIG. 4 shown. The inserts 34 and 36 - also referred to as guide parts - are made of a thermosetting plastic, thermoplastic, made of a fiber-reinforced plastic, in particular glass fiber reinforced plastic, or of a plastic-coated metallic material to the free ends 18 and 20 of the usually made of metal ( For example, steel) formed engaging means 16 to provide good sliding properties, so that the binding elements 12 and 14 can be moved well along the ski 2.

Dabei sollte außerdem berücksichtig werden, dass für eine ausreichende Integration der Einlagen 34 und 36 in den Skikörper unter Umständen eine Vorbehandlung (z.B. Verklebevorbehandlung) der zu verbindenden Teile erforderlich sein kann, um die nötige Affinität zu den im Skibau typischerweise verwendeten Epoxidharzen, bzw. Epoxidprepregs herzustellen.It should also be taken into account that for a sufficient integration of the inserts 34 and 36 in the ski body under certain circumstances, a pretreatment (eg Verklebevorbehandlung) of the parts to be joined may be required to the necessary affinity for the epoxy resins typically used in ski construction or Epoxidprepregs manufacture.

Die Einlagen bzw. Führungsteile 34 und 36 können beispielsweise vorgefertigte Profil- oder Aufnahmeschienen sein, die die Nuten 22 und 24 bereits aufweisen. Beim Verleimen des Skikörpers 4 werden die Schienen mitverpresst, also in den Skikörper integriert. Sollte dabei die Deckschicht 32 die Nuten 22 und 24 ganz oder teilweise abdecken, so kann sie gegebenenfalls nach dem Verpressen abgetragen werden.The inserts or guide parts 34 and 36 can be, for example, prefabricated profile or receiving rails which already have the grooves 22 and 24. When gluing the ski body 4, the rails are mitverpresst, so integrated into the ski body. If the cover layer 32 covers the grooves 22 and 24 completely or partially, it may optionally be removed after the pressing.

Entsprechend einer weiteren Ausführungsform der vorliegenden Erfindung wird der Skikörper 4, der in seinem Kern 30 die Einlagen 34 und 36 zunächst ohne Nuten aufweist, verleimt und verpresst, und anschließend werden die Führungsnuten 22 und 24 beispielsweise im Durchlauf nachträglich eingefräst.According to a further embodiment of the present invention, the ski body 4, which has the inserts 34 and 36 in its core 30 initially without grooves, glued and pressed, and then the guide grooves 22 and 24 are subsequently milled, for example in a pass.

Wie bereits vorstehend ausgeführt, ist die Montageeinrichtung 10 im Bindungsmontagebereich vorgesehen und steht vorzugsweise über die Oberfläche 26 des Skis 2 nach oben hinaus. Dadurch wird die Biegelinie des Skis 2 möglichst wenig beeinträchtigt, so dass der erfindungsgemäße Ski 2 eine weitgehend optimale Biegelinie aufweist. Des weiteren ist durch diese Anordnung der Montageeinrichtung die Bindung auf einem etwas erhöhten Niveau, was insbesondere für Carvingski hilfreich ist.As already stated above, the mounting device 10 is provided in the binding mounting area and is preferably above the surface 26 of the ski 2 upwards. As a result, the bending line of the ski 2 is impaired as little as possible, so that the ski 2 of the invention has a largely optimal bending line. Furthermore, by this arrangement of the mounting device binding on a slightly elevated level, which is particularly helpful for carving skis.

Im mittleren Bereich des Skikörpers 4 beziehungsweise der Montageeinrichtung 10 ist vorzugsweise eine in Längsrichtung verlaufende Aussparung 38 vorgesehen, in der eine Verbindungszunge 40, die die beiden Bindungselemente 12 und 14 vorzugsweise miteinander verbindet, zumindest teilweise aufgenommen. Entsprechend der Darstellungen in Figuren 3 und 4 weist die Verbindungszunge 40 im Bereich der Bindungselemente 12 und 14 zusätzlich einen Abschnitt 42 auf, der außerhalb der Aussparung und auf einer Oberfläche 44 des Skis liegt, um die Bindungselemente 12 und 14 auf ein bezüglich der Lauffläche 28 des Skis 2 höherliegendes Niveau zu bringen. Im Bereich zwischen den Bindungselementen 12 und 14 liegt die Verbindungszunge 40 vorzugsweise im Wesentlichen vollständig innerhalb der Aussparung 38.In the middle region of the ski body 4 or the mounting device 10 is preferably a longitudinally extending recess 38 is provided, in which a connecting tongue 40, which connects the two binding elements 12 and 14 preferably at least partially received. According to the illustrations in FIGS. 3 and 4 the connecting tongue 40 in the region of the binding elements 12 and 14 in addition to a portion 42 which lies outside the recess and on a surface 44 of the ski to bring the binding elements 12 and 14 with respect to the tread 28 of the ski 2 higher lying level. In the region between the binding elements 12 and 14, the connecting tongue 40 is preferably located substantially completely within the recess 38.

Durch die erfindungsgemäße Ausgestaltung des Skis, insbesondere der Montageeinrichtung mit den Nuten 22 und 24, sowie der Aussparung 38 und der Verbindungszunge 40 ist ein freies Biegen oder Flexen des Skis 2 möglich. Dadurch kann ein Verspannen des Bindung-Schuh-Systems beim Durchbiegen des Skis vermieden werden. Prinzipiell sind beim erfindungsgemäßen Ski 2 verschiedene Variationen der Bindungsmontage möglich, die ein freies Biegen ("Free-Flex") ermöglichen. Beispielsweise kann das vordere Bindungselement oder Backenteil 12 fixiert sein und das hintere Bindungselement oder Fersenteil 14 durch die Eingriffseinrichtung 16 und die Nuten 22 und 24 beweglich geführt sein, wobei die beiden Bindungselemente 12 und 14 durch die Verbindungszunge 40 miteinander verbunden sind, um den Abstand der beiden Bindungselemente zueinander im Wesentlichen konstant zu halten. Ebenso ist umgekehrt die Fixierung des hinteren Bindungselements oder Fersenteils 14 und bewegliche Führung des vorderen Bindungselements oder Backenteils 12 unter Verwendung der Verbindungszunge 40 möglich. Alternativ dazu ist es auch möglich, die Verbindungszunge 40 an der Montageeinrichtung 10 zu fixieren, so dass beide Bindungselemente 12 und 14 in Längsrichtung verschiebbar in den Nuten 22 und 24 gelagert sind. Dadurch ist eine freie Beweglichkeit sowohl des Backens als auch des Fersenteils bei einer Durchbiegung des Skis gewährleistet Die Fixierung des jeweiligen Bindungselements 12 und 14 und/oder der Verbindungszunge 40 bezüglich Längsverschiebung kann beispielsweise durch Klemmung, Verrasterung, Verkeilung und ähnliche Fixierungsarten erfolgen.The inventive design of the ski, in particular the mounting device with the grooves 22 and 24, and the recess 38 and the connecting tongue 40, a free bending or flexing of the ski 2 is possible. As a result, a distortion of the binding shoe system when bending the ski can be avoided. In principle, in the ski 2 according to the invention different variations of the binding mounting are possible, which allow a free bending ("Free-Flex"). For example, the front binding member or jaw member 12 may be fixed and the rear binding member or heel member 14 by the engagement means 16 and the grooves 22 and 24 are movably guided, wherein the two binding elements 12 and 14 are interconnected by the connecting tongue 40 to keep the distance between the two binding elements to one another substantially constant. Similarly, the fixing of the rear binding member or heel member 14 and movable guidance of the front binding member or jaw member 12 using the connecting tongue 40 is conversely possible. Alternatively, it is also possible to fix the connecting tongue 40 to the mounting device 10, so that both binding elements 12 and 14 are mounted in the longitudinal direction displaceable in the grooves 22 and 24. As a result, a free mobility of both the jaw and the heel part is ensured with a bending of the ski The fixation of the respective binding element 12 and 14 and / or the connecting tongue 40 with respect to longitudinal displacement can be done for example by clamping, Verrilung, wedging and similar types of fixation.

Der erfindungsgemäße Ski 2 mit integrierter Montageeinrichtung 10 hat insbesondere den Vorteil, dass eine Skibindung und gegebenenfalls eine Skibremse direkt am Ski montiert werden kann, ohne das Zwischenelemente, wie beispielsweise ein angedübeltes oder angeschraubtes Schienensystem, Schrauben, Bolzen, Bindungsplatten und ähnliches erforderlich sind. Gleichzeitig bleiben die Eigenschaften des erfindungsgemäßen Skis, insbesondere sein Biegeverhalten bzw. seine Biegelinie weitgehend erhalten, so dass bei beträchtlich vereinfachter Bindungsmontage und sämtlichen Vorteilen der Verwendung einer Bindungsplatte gleichzeitig ein Ski mit optimalen Eigenschaften bereitgestellt wird.The ski 2 according to the invention with integrated mounting device 10 has the particular advantage that a ski binding and optionally a ski brake can be mounted directly on the ski, without the intermediate elements, such as a dowelled or bolted rail system, screws, bolts, binding plates and the like are required. At the same time, the properties of the ski according to the invention, in particular its bending behavior or its bending line, are largely retained, so that a skis with optimum properties are provided at the same time with considerably simplified binding assembly and all the advantages of using a binding plate.
