Abstract

A snowboard ( 1 ), comprising a core ( 4 ) covered with an upper assembly ( 10 ), which comprises: a reinforcing layer ( 12 ) impregnated with a polymerized resin, an upper protective layer ( 11 ) having a penetrating opening ( 20, 21 ), and an additional decorative element ( 13 ) present inside said opening ( 2 ) extending under the upper protective layer ( 11 ) at the periphery of said opening, characterized in that the additional decorative element ( 13 ) is formed of a layer of fibrous material, and in that it comprises a layer ( 14 ) of a polymer material forming a seal barrier between said additional element ( 13 ) and the resin of the reinforcing layer ( 12 ), said sealed layer ( 14 ) extending under the additional element and projecting beyond said element ( 13 ) to contact the underside ( 16 ) of the upper protective layer ( 11 ).

1 . A snowboard ( 1 ), comprising a core ( 4 ) covered with an upper assembly ( 10 ), which comprises:
 a reinforcing layer ( 12 ) impregnated with a polymerized resin,   an upper protective layer ( 11 ) having a penetrating opening ( 20 ,  21 ),   and an additional decorative element ( 13 ) present inside said opening ( 2 ) extending under the upper protective layer ( 11 ) at the periphery of said opening,   
     characterized in that the additional decorative element ( 13 ) is formed of a layer of fibrous material, and in that it comprises a layer ( 14 ) of a polymer material forming a seal barrier between said additional element ( 13 ) and the resin of the reinforcing layer ( 12 ), said sealed layer ( 14 ) extending under the additional element and projecting beyond said element ( 13 ) to contact the underside ( 16 ) of the upper protective layer ( 11 ). 
   
   
       2 . The snowboard as claimed in  claim 1 , characterized in that the additional decorative element ( 13 ) is made from textile material. 
   
   
       3 . The snowboard as claimed in  claim 2 , characterized in that the additional decorative element ( 13 ) is a woven cloth. 
   
   
       4 . The snowboard as claimed in  claim 2 , characterized in that the additional decorative element ( 13 ) is an openwork textile cloth. 
   
   
       5 . The snowboard as claimed in  claim 1 , characterized in that the upper protective layer ( 11 ) has a plurality of penetrating openings ( 20 ,  21 ) under which an additional common decorative element ( 13 ) extends. 
   
   
       6 . The snowboard as claimed in  claim 1 , characterized in that the penetrating opening ( 21 ) extends up to the edge of the board. 
   
   
       7 . The snowboard as claimed in  claim 1 , characterized in that the additional decorative element ( 13 ) projects beyond the perimeter of the penetrating opening ( 20 ) by a distance e 1  larger than 5 mm. 
   
   
       8 . The snowboard as claimed in  claim 1 , characterized in that the additional element ( 13 ) has a fraction of its perimeter which matches the contour of the penetrating opening. 
   
   
       9 . The snowboard as claimed in  claim 1 , characterized in that the seal layer ( 14 ) projects beyond the perimeter of the additional element ( 13 ) by a distance e 2  larger than 5 mm.
