Abstract
A gliding board, in particular a snowboard, which is formed by two skis and a central part connected by fittings, has a clamping device in the central region. The skis can be clamped against one another by the clamping device accompanied by deformation in the transverse direction so that the gliding board can be adjusted to a desired sidecut radius.
Claims17
In a gliding board having a form of a snowboard having a longitudinal axis, two touring skis, and fitting means for connecting the skis with one another, the improvement comprising clamping means for connecting the two skis at least in a central region thereof so that said two skis can be clamped together accompanied by a deformation of the ski in a direction transverse to the longitudinal axis, so that the gliding board in a clamped state has a substantially smaller sidecut radius than the individual skis when the individual skis are not clamped, and that fixed distances may be adjusted between the skis at least in tip regions of the skis and end regions of the skis.
In a gliding board having a form of a snowboard having a longitudinal axis, two touring skis, and fitting means for connecting the skis with one another, the improvement comprising clamping means for connecting the two skis at least in a central region thereof so that said two skis can be clamped together accompanied by deformation of the skis in a direction transverse to the longitudinal axis so that fixed distances may be adjusted between the skis at least in tip regions of the skis and end regions of the skis by said fitting means wherein:
- said fitting means can be selectively adjusted to define both a distance between the skis and to define a sidecut of the gliding board independently of a distance between the skis;
- said fitting means defines holes which are arranged in the region of the tips of the skis and in the region of the ends of the skis and includes connection rods which penetrate the holes, such that said connection rods, when inserted in the holes, prevent a difference in height between the skis when said skis are connected with one another but allow the distance between the individual skis to be adjusted freely;
- and
- said fitting means are further constructed as clamps which clamp to the connection rods for adjusting the distance between the skis.
