Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a snowboard provided with upper edges above sole edges.
  • the European Patent Application EP 1213041 A (Art. 54(3)) discloses a binding-free sliding device with an elongated deck attached elevated from a runner.
  • An object of the present invention is to provide a snowboard, whose edges are not released easily even when being strongly engaged and which are easy to operate.
  • a snowboard provided with sole edges along corner portions on both the left and right sides of a sliding surface comprises left and right upper edges respectively provided above the left and right sole edges so as to protrude more to the left and right sides of the snowboard than the left and right sole edges.
  • a snow surface when the board is greatly tilted, a snow surface can be caught by both the sole edge and die upper edge, and even when the sole edge is released, the snow surface can be caught by the upper edge.
  • the left and right upper edges are tilted so that the ground contact angles of the left and right upper edges become smaller than the ground contact angles of the left and right sole edges. If so, the upper edge comes in contact with the snow surface at an angle smaller than the ground contact angle of die sole edge, whereby the tendency for the upper edge to be released reduces, and the snow surface can be easily caught.
  • FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a snowboard 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention.
  • FIG. 2 is a sectional view taken along the live X-X in FIG. 1 .
  • Screw holes 9 for attaching a binding 40 described later are provided at plural positions of an upper surface 8 of the snowboard 1. By using these plural screw holes 9, the binding 40 can be attached to the upper surface 8 of the snowboard 1 in a desired position.
  • a lower surface 10 of the snowboard 1 is a flat sliding surface and made of resin resistant to adhesion of snow.
  • Sole edges 11 and 11 are provided along corner portions on both the left and right sides of the lower surface 10 (sliding surface).
  • the sole edges 11 and 11 are formed of a hard material such as metal.
  • a corner portion 11' of the sole edge 11 is formed to have almost a right angle (approximately 85° to approximately 90°), a bottom surface 11a of the sole edge 11 is placed on the same plane with the lower surface of the snowboard 1, and in the shown example, similarly to a side surface 13 of the snowboard 1, a side surface 11b of the sole edge 11 is formed on a plane which stands almost perpendicular to the bottom surface 11a of the sole edge 11.
  • left and right upper edges 12 and 12 are provided, each being fixed to an upper portion of the side surface 13 of the snowboard 1.
  • These left and right upper edges 12 and 12 are provided so as to protrude more to the left and right sides of the snowboard 1 than the sole edges 11 and 11 provided at the corner portions on both sides of the lower surface of the snowboard 1.
  • a corner portion 12' of the upper edge 12 is also formed to have almost a right angle (approximately 85° to approximately 90°), a bottom surface 12a of the upper edge 12 is placed parallel to the bottom surface 11a of the sole edge 11 and the lower surface 10 of the snowboard 1, and a side surface 12b of the upper edge 12 is formed parallel to the side surface 11b of the sole edge 11 and the side surface 13 of the snowboard 1 and on a plane which stands almost perpendicular to the bottom surface 12a of the upper edge 12.
  • the upper edge 12 comes in contact with the snow surface at the ground contact angle ⁇ which is smaller than the ground contact angle ⁇ of the sole edge 11 when the snow surface is caught by both the corner portion 11' of the sole edge 11 and the corner portion 12' of the upper edge 12, whereby the tendency for the upper edge 12 to be released reduces, and the snow surface can be easily caught. As a result, it is more difficult to release the edge, and the operation of the snowboard 1 becomes more stable.
  • the angle ⁇ by which the upper edge 12 is tilted upward be set so that the ground contact angle ⁇ of the upper edge 12 is approximately 45° when the snow surface is caught by both the corner portion 11' of the sole edge 11 and the corner portion 12' of the upper edge 12.
  • the side surface 13 of the snowboard 1 is formed on the same plane with the side surface 11b of the sole edge 11 is shown in FIGS. 3 and 4 , it is also possible to form the side surface 13 of the snowboard 1 at a concave surface which is recessed deeper to the inside than the side surface 11b of die sole edge 11 as written in FIGS. 3 and 4 by a dashed line 13'. In so doing, die tendency for snow to adhere to the side surface 13 of die snowboard 1 reduces, and strong edging can be continuously performed.
  • the upper edge 12 is provided separately from the sole edge 11 is shown in any of FIGS. 2 to 4 , it is also suitable to attach an edge member 15 to the side surface 13 of the snowboard 1, form the upper edge 12 in an upper portion of the edge member 15, and form the sole edge 11 in a lower portion thereof as shown in FIG. 5 .
  • the upper edge 12 and the sole edge 11 may be provided integrally.
  • one upper edge 12 is provided above the sole edge 11 in any of FIGS. 2 to 5
  • two upper edges 15 and 16 may be provided above the sole edge 11, for example, as shown in FIG. 6
  • three upper edges 15, 16, and 17 may be provided above the sole edge 11, for example, as shown in FIG. 7
  • four or more upper edges may be provided above the sole edge 11.
  • the upper edge provided above the sole edge 11 may be shorter than or equal to the sole edge 11 in length. Further, it is also possible to change the angle of the upper edge depending on its position. Furthermore, although the case where the binding 40 is attached to the upper surface 8 of the snowboard 1 by using the plural screw holes 9 provided in die upper surface 8 of the snowboard 1 is explained in FIG. 1 , the present invention can be also applied to a case where the binding 40 is attached to the upper surface 8 of the snowboard 1 by using a rail provided on the upper surface 8 of the snowboard 1.
