Play or sport device i.e. sliding sport device e.g. snowboard, for use by e.g. professional user, has fiber composite system comprising layer in multi-field arrangement whose fields are provided with anisotropic material properties

Simple SummaryContent extracted from patent full text and abstract with AI.

This invention relates to sports devices—such as snowboards—constructed using a multi-layer fiber composite material. A key feature is a special layer designed with sections (fields) that each have different directional (anisotropic) properties, achieved by arranging reinforcement fibers like carbon or glass in specific orientations.

Patent Abstract

The device i.e. snowboard (1), has a multi-layer fiber composite system of layers made from a fiber-reinforced plastic material. The fiber composite system has a layer (2) in a multi-field arrangement (6) whose fields are provided with anisotropic material properties. The multi-field arrangement has a unidirectional clutch with reinforcement fibers that are provided in a predetermined fiber orientation. The reinforcement fibers are glass fibers, carbon fibers, bamboo fibers, aramide fibers or stone fibers such as basalt fibers.
