Abstract
A surface element used for forming a gliding surface includes a frame unit provided with at least one attachment element and a joining point, attachment element connecting the frame to a base, a gliding unit formed of a plurality of flexible gliding elements connected to the joining point of the frame unit, and a support unit forming a supporting surface and connected to the frame unit, wherein when a plurality of successive surface elements are arranged in the longitudinal direction to form the gliding surface, the supporting unit of the next surface element supports the gliding unit of at least one preceding surface element.
Claims11
A surface element used for forming a gliding surface, said surface element including:
- a frame unit provided with at least one attachment means and a joining point, said attachment means connecting said frame to a base;
- a gliding unit formed of a plurality of flexible gliding means connected to said joining point of said frame unit, and
- a support unit forming a supporting surface and being connected to said frame unit, wherein when a plurality of successive surface elements are arranged in the longitudinal direction to form said gliding surface, the supporting unit of the next surface element supports the gliding unit of at least one preceding surface element.
An apparatus for formation of a gliding surface, comprising:
- a plurality of surface elements extending successively in a longitudinal direction of the gliding surface, each surface element including:
- a substantially transverse frame attached to a base;
- a gliding unit formed of a plurality of flexible gliding elements, said gliding unit being connected to said frame at a joining point;
- and
- a supporting unit forming a supporting surface for supporting at least one gliding surface and connected with said frame,
- wherein said supporting unit of one surface element forms said supporting surface for supporting said gliding unit of at least one preceding surface element.
