Abstract

Provided is a wakeboard structure including two opposing, spaced-apart outer plates pressed together and sealed at two opposing ends thereof to thereby form a hollow casing filled with a foaming material. To enhance the internal structural strength of the wakeboard structure and prevent the outer plates from severing, inner sides of the two outer plates are coated with a glue layer before being adhered with a reinforcing panel, respectively. The reinforcing panel is made of plastic or a plastic composite material. The outer plates, the glue layers, and the reinforcing panels are coupled together, such that the wakeboard structure thus fabricated is unlikely to crack or sever when subjected to pressure or repeated impact, lightweight, highly buoyant, and effective in ensuring personal safety.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A wakeboard structure, comprising:
 two opposing, spaced-apart, elongate outer plates pressed together and sealed at two opposing ends thereof to thereby form a hollow casing, wherein a foaming material is introduced into a receiving space created between two said outer plates to form a fleshy body therebetween;   a glue layer coated on an inner side of one of the outer plates; and   a reinforcing panel provided on another side of the glue layer to thereby be tightly attached to the outer plates, and at least made of a single plastic material.   
     
     
         2 . The wakeboard structure of  claim 1 , wherein the fleshy body formed between the outer plates and formed from the foaming material is penetrated by at least a reinforcing rod made of fiberglass. 
     
     
         3 . The wakeboard structure of  claim 1 , wherein the reinforcing panel is made of a plastic composite material. 
     
     
         4 . The wakeboard structure of  claim 1 , wherein the reinforcing panel is made of plastic and the plastic is Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS). 
     
     
         5 . A wakeboard structure, comprising:
 two opposing, spaced-apart, elongate outer plates pressed together and sealed at two opposing ends thereof to thereby form a hollow casing, wherein a foaming material is introduced into a receiving space created between two said outer plates to form a fleshy body therebetween;   two glue layers coated on inner sides of two said outer plates, respectively; and   two reinforcing panels disposed on other sides of two said glue layers to allow the reinforcing panels and the outer plates to be tightly adhered together, respectively, the reinforcing panels being made of plastic.   
     
     
         6 . The wakeboard structure of  claim 5 , wherein the reinforcing panels are made of a plastic composite material.
