    摘要: The present invention relates to a method of manufacturing a board for sport equipment and the board for sport equipment thereof. The method comprises the steps of molding a substrate on a first mold; transferring the substrate to a second mold; and injecting a thermoplastic material into a cavity provided between at least a part of an edge side of the substrate and the second mold to form the board with a board bumper on the at least a part of the edge side of the substrate.

    摘要: The present invention relates to a novel water sports device that allows a user to perform water skiing and other activities while sitting on the device. The device includes a toboggan style structure positioned atop a pair of water skis. The pair of skis are secured to the underside of the toboggan using a plurality of panels or supports so that the skis partially overlap and extend beyond the edges of the toboggan. Each of the pair of skis comprise a binding which is sized and configured to accommodate a foot of the user while sitting on the toboggan. The device provides enhanced balance, buoyancy, and floating capability, and also comprises a backrest for supporting the back of the user while enjoying the device on the water.

    摘要: A manufacturing method contemplates performing vacuum-assisted resin infusion to enclose an elongated core within a cured composite laminate without employing a mold. Not relying upon an external mold enables the process to be efficiently performed for core shapes that are manufactured in low volumes. Typical resin infusion processes utilize flow media that induces bag bridging during vacuum draw in order to provide gaps facilitating resin flow. However, popular flow media also tends to impart directional aggregate forces during vacuum draw, which forces can deform the core since no mold is being used. To avoid unequal and non-dispersed directional forces from deforming the elongated core, a flow media is employed that is configured to disperse and/or reduce such forces. Some such flow media may be knitted so as to allow overlapping strands to slide over one another. Other flow media may ensure that strands are interleaved so that no one strand or group of strands is disposed outwardly of other strands along a substantial length of the strands, thus dispersing bag bridging forces in several directions and avoiding directional aggregate forces. However, such flow media may have inhibited resin flow relative to popular high-flow flow media, and thus new strategies have been developed to ensure appropriate wetting of fibrous reinforcement. An adjustable brace can also be employed to restrain the elongated core from deflecting during application of vacuum and/or resin infusion.

    摘要: An improved wooden surfboard and method of construction comprised of pre-cut layers of wood longitudinally arranged of predetermined thicknesses (502-512) stacked and bonded together following the shape of the surfboard. The longitudinal layers include slots (208) to slide and embed multiple transverse ribs (210) in perpendicular direction for joining the longitudinal layers together. The bonded longitudinal layers form a pre-shaped plank with the geometrical features of the surfboard without the need of carving and shaping the surfboard's geometry. A smooth finish is achieved after a light sanding of the pre-shaped plank. In some embodiments the longitudinal layers have predetermined perforations (202) to create air chambers (204) reducing the weight of the surfboard. Other embodiments are as described and shown.
