Device for processing the running edges of sports equipment

Abstract

The invention relates to an apparatus for machining the running edges of a sporting device, more particularly a ski or a snowboard, comprising a transport apparatus, which can be temporarily connected to the sporting device, for the automated movement of the sporting device in a movement sequence having, at least in parts, a movement direction substantially parallel to the longitudinal direction of the sporting device, wherein the following are located one behind the other in said movement sequence of the sporting device: —a lower-edge machining unit for machining a lower surface of at least one running edge, said lower surface laterally adjoining the running-surface covering of the sporting device; —a lateral-edge machining unit for machining a lateral surface of the at least one running edge, said lateral surface adjoining the bottom of the lateral surface of the sporting device; and —a deburring unit for removing a burr formed by the lateral-edge machining unit on the at least one running edge.

 a lower-edge machining device for machining an undersurface of at least one running edge laterally adjoining the running surface layer of the piece of sports equipment,   a lateral-edge machining device for machining a lateral surface of the at least one running edge adjoining the bottom of the lateral surface of the piece of sports equipment, and   a deburring device for removing a burr formed by the lateral-edge machining device on the at least one running edge.   
     
     
         2 . The apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein a running-surface machining device, which machines flat the running surface layer of the piece of sports equipment and an undersurface, adjoining it in a flush manner, of at least one running edge, is arranged upstream of the lower-edge machining device in the movement sequence. 
     
     
         3 . The apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein the lower-edge machining device and/or the lateral-edge machining device and/or the deburring device and/or the running-surface machining device—preferably in each case at the same time—machines the left-hand and right-hand running edges of the piece of sports equipment being moved past it by the transport apparatus. 
     
     
         4 . The apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein through material removal the lower-edge machining device forms an undersurface—preferably straight in a cross section with respect to the longitudinal direction of the piece of sports equipment—of the running edge, which undersurface is oriented at an adjustable tuning angle (α) with respect to the running surface layer which preferably lies between 0.2° and 1°. 
     
     
         5 . The apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein the lower-edge machining device has one or more of the following components:
 an abrasive belt, in particular a corundum abrasive paper, moved by a motor,   a motor-driven abrasive disc, in particular with ceramically bonded abrasive particles,   a motor-driven cup wheel, in particular with ceramically bonded abrasive particles.   
     
     
         6 . The apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein through material removal the lateral-edge machining device forms a lateral surface—preferably straight in a cross section with respect to the longitudinal direction of the piece of sports equipment—of the running edge, which lateral surface is oriented at an adjustable lateral edge angle with respect to a perpendicular to the running surface layer which preferably lies between 0° and 5°. 
     
     
         7 . The apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein the lateral-edge machining device has one or more of the following components:
 an abrasive belt, in particular a corundum abrasive paper, moved by a motor,   a motor-driven abrasive disc, in particular with ceramically bonded abrasive particles and/or diamond abrasive particles,   a motor-driven cup wheel, in particular with ceramically bonded abrasive particles.   
     
     
         8 . The apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein the deburring device has at least one—preferably rotationally—motor-driven machining element. 
     
     
         9 . The apparatus according to  claim 8 , wherein the axis of rotation of the machining element lies parallel to the direction of movement (x) of the piece of sports equipment in the region of the machining element. 
     
     
         10 . The apparatus according to  claim 8 , wherein the axis of rotation of the machining element lies perpendicular to the direction of movement of the piece of sports equipment in the region of the machining element. 
     
     
         11 . The apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein the machining element is a brush with preferably metallic bristles. 
     
     
         12 . The apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein the deburring device has a machining element, which during operation is stationary relative to a frame or the like of the apparatus and past which the transport apparatus moves the piece of sports equipment, wherein the burr formed by the lateral-edge machining device is in abrasive contact with the stationary machining element and is removed. 
     
     
         13 . The apparatus according to  claim 12 , wherein the stationary machining element comprises an abrasive disc, a file and/or an abrasive rubber, in particular with abrasive particles made of diamond. 
     
     
         14 . The apparatus according to  claim 12 , wherein the stationary machining element comprises a dimensionally stable dowel with ceramically bonded abrasive particles. 
     
     
         15 . The apparatus according to  claim 8 , wherein the orientation and/or position of the machining element relative to a frame or the like of the apparatus is adjustable by means of an adjustment apparatus.
