Abstract: A snowboard having torsional reinforcement elements along portions of the board is provided. The snowboard includes a core, an upper structural layer disposed above the core, a top layer, two groups of binding fasteners, and torsional reinforcement elements in the forward and rearward portions of the board. The top layer is disposed above the upper structural layer. The fasteners are secured through the upper structural layer within the core. The fasteners are adapted for securing a binding to the snowboard generally along the longitudinal axis of the snowboard. The fasteners include forward fasteners for securing a forward binding and rearward fasteners for securing a rearward binding. A first torsional reinforcement element extends around the rearward fasteners along the longitudinal center axis of the snowboard above the core. The rearward reinforcement element includes a right leg extending from the rearward end of the fasteners toward the right heel contact point of the snowboard. A left leg is also provided that extends from the rearward end of the fasteners toward the left heel contact point of the snowboard. Likewise, the forward torsional reinforcement element includes a right leg and a left leg extending to the right shovel contact point and left shovel contact point, respectively. Thus, a forward fork and a rearward fork are provided, extending around the binding fasteners, and forking out to the heel and shovel contact points. A method of constructing the snowboard as described above is also provided.
Abstract translation: 提供了沿着板的一部分具有扭转加强元件的滑雪板。 该滑雪板包括一个芯,一个上部结构层,设置在该芯的上方,一个顶层,两组绑定紧固件,以及在板的前部和后部的扭转加强元件。 顶层设置在上结构层上。 紧固件通过芯内的上结构层固定。 紧固件适于固定通常沿着滑雪板的纵向轴线对滑雪板的装订。 紧固件包括用于固定向前装订和向后紧固件的前紧固件,用于固定向后装订。 第一扭转加强元件沿着沿着该核心上方的滑雪板的纵向中心轴线的后方紧固件延伸。 后加强元件包括从紧固件的后端朝向滑雪板的右脚跟接触点延伸的右腿。 还设置有从紧固件的后端朝向滑雪板的左脚跟接触点延伸的左腿。 同样地,向前扭转加强元件分别包括一个右腿和一个左腿,分别延伸到右铲子接触点和左铲接触点。 因此,设置有前叉和后叉,围绕绑定件延伸,并且分叉到脚跟和铲接触点。 还提供了如上所述构造滑雪板的方法。
