Dual-edged snowboard and snow skis

摘要

The present disclosure relates to snowboards and skis that include a pair of edges for each longitudinal side of the snowboard or ski. The edges are laterally spaced apart, with one edge being an outer edge and the other edge being an inner edge. The inner edge is positioned vertically lower than the outer edge. The inner edge generally engages the snow surface prior to the outer edge, and is thus a transitional edge. Transitional edges may be rounded edges. The top surface of dual-edges snowboards or ski include an inner portion flanked on each lateral side by a lateral offset. A portion of the inner portion is recessed relative to the lateral offsets. The outer edges are positioned on a base surface of the lateral offsets. The inner edges are positioned on a base surface that is below the interface between the lateral offsets and the inner portion.

主权项

1. A deck configured and arranged for gliding on a surface, the deck comprising:
an inner deck portion comprising:
an inner base surface;an inner top structural layer in opposition to and above the inner base surface; andan inner edge disposed adjacent to a longitudinal portion of a perimeter of the inner base surface, wherein a lowest portion of the inner edge is disposed flush with the longitudinal portion of the perimeter of the inner base surface; and an outer deck portion disposed adjacent to a longitudinal portion of a perimeter of the inner deck portion, the outer deck portion comprising:
an outer base surface;an outer top structural layer in opposition to and above the outer base surface; andan outer edge disposed adjacent to a longitudinal portion of a perimeter of the outer base surface, wherein a region of the inner top structural layer is recessed such that the region of the inner top structural layer is vertically lower than and substantially parallel with a laterally adjacent region of the outer top structural layer, forming a longitudinal upper step along an interface between the laterally adjacent and substantially parallel regions of the inner top structural layer and the outer top structural layer, wherein a lateral width of the outer top structural layer is significantly greater than a lateral width of the longitudinal upper step and at least a portion of the inner edge is laterally intermediate at least a portion of the longitudinal upper step and the outer edge.
