Abstract
ABSTRACT
In a ski (1) that has integrated elements for the attachment for components of the binding system, the ski (1) is bonded rigidly to an essentially plate-shaped carrier body (3) that extends in the longitudinal direction of the ski, in an area (4) that lies between the ends (8) that face in the longitudinal direction of the ski. Outside the area (4) that is bonded rigidly to the (6) (1), the carrier body (3) incorporates guide rails or grooves (6) that extend in the longitudinal direction of the ski and are used for the attachment of the components of the binding system, and the ends (8) Of the carrier body (3) that face in the longitudinal direction of the ski are arranged at a distance from the upper side of the upper chord (7) of the ski.
It is preferred that outside the area that is bonded rigidly to the ski (1) the carrier body (3) is bonded rigidly to the ski (1) or to the upper chord (7) of the ski through interposed damping material (5) (Figure 1).

Claims (19)
1. A ski with integrated elements for the attachment of components of the blinding system, characterized in that the ski (1) is connected rigidly to an essentially plate-shaped carrier body (3) that extends in longitudinal direction of the ski in an area (4) of the carrier body (3) that lies between the and that face in the longitudinal direction of the ski; in that the carrier body (3) incorporates guide rails or grooves (6, 13, 16) for the attachment of components of the binding system, these extending in the longitudinal direction of the ski, outside the area (4) that is bonded rigidly to the ski (1); and in that the ends (10) of the carrier body (4) that face in the longitudinal direction of the ski are arranged at a distance from the upper side of the top chord (7) of the ski.
2. A ski as defined in Claim 1, characterized in that the carrier body (3) is connected to the ski or the upper chord (7) respectively through interposed damping material (5, 9) outside the area (4) that is bonded rigidly to the ski (1).
3. A ski as defined in Claim 1 or Claim 2, characterized in that, in the area of the guide rails or grooves (8, 13, 16), the carrier body (3) incorporates projections or recesses (12, 17) for locking the elements of the binding system so as to prevent them moving in the longitudinal direction of the ski.
4. A ski as defined in Claim 1, Claim 2. or Claim 3, characterized in that the carrier body (3) is arranged beneath the ski covering layer (12), in particular beneath the decorative surface foil that is applied to the ski.
5. A ski as defined in one of the Claims 1 to 4, characterized that in the middle area (4) the carrier body (3) has n depressed area that corresponds essentially to the thickness of the damping material (6, 9) and is bonded rigidly to the ski (1) in the depressed area (4).
6. A ski as defined in one of the Claims 1 to 5, characterized in that the depressed area (4) of the carrier body (1) is filled with a pressure resistant filler.
7. A ski as defined in one of the Claims 1 to 6, characterized in that the rigid bonding of the carrier body (3) to the upper chord (7) of the ski is in the form of a cemented bond.
8. A ski as defined in one of the Claims 1 to 7, characterized in that the unattached ends (10) of the carrier body (3) form an acute angle with the ski (1).
9. A ski as defined in one of the Claims 1 to 8, characterized in that the carrier body (3) is rigidly connected to the upper chord of the ski through an interposed layer (8) of glass fibre reinforced plastic.
10. A ski as defined in one of the Claims 1 to 8, characterized in that the carrier body (3) is of metal, in particular of aluminum.
11. A ski as defined in one of the Claims 1 to 10, characterized in that the carrier body (3) incorporates at least one layer (8) of glass fibre reinforced plastic on its inner side that is proximate to the ski (1).
12. A ski as defined in one of the Claims 1 to 11, characterized in that the carrier body (3) is arranged in a recess in the upper side of the ski so as to be flush with the surface covering layer or foil (2).
13. A ski as defined in one of the Claims 1 to 12, characterized in that the surface foil (2) is cut through or separated transversely to the longitudinal direction of the ski, both in front of and behind the carrier body (3).
14. A ski as defined in one of the Claims 1 to 13, characterized in that damping elements (5, 9) of various hardnesses or stiffness are arranged transversely to the longitudinal direction of the ski and adjacent to each other in the longitudinal direction of the ski.
16. A ski as defined in one of the Claims 1 to 14, characterized in that the carrier body (3) incorporates profiling that extends transversely to the longitudinal direction of the ski.
16. A ski as defined in one of the Claims 1 to 15, characterized in that the middle section (4) of the carrier body (3) is bonded and screwed to the ski (1).
17. A ski as defined in one of the Claims 1 to 16, characterized in that the damping elements (5, 9) that is used has a Shore hardness (A) of thirty to ninety.
18. A ski as defined in one of the Claims 1 to 17, characterized in that the damping elements (5, 9) amounts to 2-12 mm measured perpendicularly to the surface of the ski.
19. A ski as defined in one of the Claims 2 to 18, characterized in that the damping materials (5, 9) incorporates recesses (12), in particular drillings, that are essentially transverse to the longitudinal direction of the ski.
