Definitions

  • the invention relates to a snowboard binding according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • Such Binding was made public at ISPO in Kunststoff on February 24, 1994 issued. This bond had a firm bond with him Snowboard connected front bar, which is the front part of the Boot sole overlapped and thus fixed.
  • Through the heel side Part of the sole of the boot was a cross to the longitudinal axis of the boot running bolt inserted, the on both sides protruded about 5 to 10 mm from the sole of the boot.
  • a Heel element to be firmly screwed to the snowboard consisted of two parallel and perpendicular sidewalls protruding from the snowboard surface, which had a vertical elongated hole in which the part of the stud protruding from the side of the shoe could be introduced.
  • a locking device on the side cheeks had the shape of a hook that when inserted the bolt was pushed back into the elongated holes and these with it opened while being completely in the elongated holes received bolt parts by spring force in a locking position snapped and locked the bolts.
  • a lever on one of the side bolsters was required to open the binding are operated, causing the bracket to be in the open position were brought and the heel part of the shoe could be removed from the binding.
  • AT-PS 351 419 shows a ski binding with one of the boots of the driver almost completely enveloping, hinged Shell that is firmly attached to the surface of the ski.
  • One the forefoot and one the front of the shin covering shell parts are pivotable on the front Tip of the bowl hinged and can be between one Open or entry position and a closed position be pivoted. In the closed position, these are both shell parts mentioned by spring-loaded locking pins locked on the fixed shell parts.
  • the spring-loaded bolts can be pulled into a cable Unlocked position to be triggered binding in the event of overload or opening of the binding allow to get out. In the latter case, the Driver pulls the cables through a fixed shell part Operate the attached lever. So here it is around a shell binding that the use of very soft and should enable comfortable ski boots.
  • DE 25 56 817 A1 shows a ski binding with a binding plate, the surface by spring-loaded cables the ski is attached. If one is exceeded This plate can be triggered by a length of the cable pulls predetermined distance from the surface of the Remove skis. There is a recess in the sole of the ski boot intended for this plate. Inside the plate there is a locking mechanism that has a lock the plate in the recess of the ski boot sole. If the binding is released in the event of overload So the boot and plate from the ski, but only as far as the cables allow. To open, i.e. To get out, the boot must be detached from the plate. For this purpose, an unlocking mechanism is provided on the plate, by the driver by hand or with the ski pole can be operated.
  • step-in binding in which the driver no locking elements when entering the binding must be operated by hand is described in DE 41 06 401 A1.
  • the boot is supported by two common straps, i.e. one Front and one heel strap held.
  • the heel strap is, however, articulated on an appearance element, the in turn swiveling on firmly connected to the snowboard Binding parts is attached.
  • If under the shoe sole is snow or ice, is also a locking of the tread element not ensured because first this snow or ice to rest on the binding would come before the tread element is fully depressed is. This binding is only partially functional.
  • DE 25 11 332 A1 shows a ski binding in which also part of the binding integrated into the heel of the ski boot is.
  • Two spring-loaded pins with a spherical head protrude sideways out of the heel part of the boot sole and rest in counter shots, the side of the boot sole are firmly attached to the ski. This is about It's a self-triggering security tie that then opens when a predetermined force is exceeded becomes. This force is applied by the two bolts outside pressing spring determined, as well as by the shape of the Ball heads of these bolts and the shape of the receptacle for these ball heads.
  • Another trigger binding for skis is in the DE 22 00 056 A1 described. There is a straight through there too the sole of the boot is provided with bolts that are in one hook-shaped, spring-loaded locking element snaps into place. The entire locking element is used to open the binding pushed backwards in the longitudinal direction of the ski, which is achieved by operating a lever attached to the ski becomes.
  • DE 31 41 425 A1 shows a safety binding for skis, with the spring-loaded pin on the boot and Appropriate cradles are attached to the ski.
  • a ski is attached to open the binding Mechanism operated.
  • DE 28 09 018 A1 shows a ski binding system consisting of ski boot and loosening binding parts, on the sole of the boot a side over the sole contour protruding plate is recessed or two in the distance to each other bolts and provided on the ski swivel hook are this plate or the two bolts laterally spread.
  • step-in binding i.e. a binding in which you can easily do similar to ski bindings can get in without the driver bending down must wzb to parts of the bond.
  • step-in binding i.e. a binding in which you can easily do similar to ski bindings can get in without the driver bending down must wzb to parts of the bond.

  • Activate locking bracket Activate locking bracket.
  • self-triggering bindings on snowboards which in the event of excessive force on the The driver's foot releases the shoe completely Allow snowboarding, still problematic, because despite numerous Proposals the resulting security problems not yet satisfactory for the driver or third parties are solved.
  • the snowboarder stands essentially perpendicular to the direction of travel the snowboard, which in practice means that the angle between the longitudinal axis of the shoe and the longitudinal axis of the snowboard is between 45 ° and 90 °, with some drivers too even back your foot towards the direction of travel, i.e. with an angle of over 90 °.
  • the toe and heel protrude ever narrower of the boot already today over the contour of the snowboard out.
  • a Snowboard binding not over the toe or the The heel of the boot may protrude as this will result would that outstanding binding parts when edging the Snowboards touch the snow. This is why the usual ski bindings that have the "step-in" function, not suitable for snowboards.
  • the object of the invention is therefore the snowboard binding of the type mentioned to improve in that the comfort of the binding is further improved and the Still bind the requirements for low weight, Functional reliability and the lowest possible costs met.
  • the main idea of the invention is therefore to move essential parts of the binding and in particular the locking device in the snowboard boots, which not only improves the comfort when exiting the binding, that the driver no longer has to bend down to the snowboard but also
  • the binding parts to be attached to the snowboard are light and inexpensive and are not sensitive to icing.
  • the more expensive locking parts, which are more sensitive to icing, are located inside the boot or the sole of the boot, so they are better protected against icing and can be combined with other snowboards that have the same binding parts.
  • An essential aspect of the invention lies in the fact that not only getting in but also getting out of the binding is made considerably easier, so that the so-called "step-out function" is also realized.
  • the binding automatically returns to its starting position after opening and is ready for a new entry without further active participation of the driver.
  • This starting position is synonymous with the closed position, ie the locking elements have the same rest position both when the binding is fully open and when it is completely closed.
  • the locking device remains in a position, for example due to icing, in which the binding would open unintentionally.
  • fixation of the snowboard-side binding part on Snowboard should be changeable to a large extent, for example to set the step size between both bonds and / or the angle of rotation of the bond in Regarding the longitudinal axis of the snowboard, that's how you become use a base plate with this variant.
  • a snowboard boot 1 is in side view see the one shortly before its locking position is to be attached to the snowboard -S- binding element 2.
  • This binding element 2 consists of a base plate 3, which is to be attached to the snowboard, which is due to diverse, known way can happen.
  • the binding element has a front bar 4 on which a sole protrusion 5 of the snowboard boot 1 overlaps and thus the front end of the snowboard boot fixed.
  • a second binding element 6, here as a heel part 6 of the snowboard boot 1 is formed essential parts of the bond with one on the binding element 2 attached heel element 7 cooperate.
  • this heel element 7 has two parallel, Sidewalls 7 'and perpendicular to the base plate 3 7 '', whose distance is only slightly larger than the width of the heel part 6 of the snowboard boot 1. Both side cheeks 7 'and 7' 'each have an opening 8, in each a spring-loaded pin 9, which laterally from the heel part 6 protrudes, can snap into place.
  • the boot When the pins 9 are snapped into the openings 8, the boot is firmly attached to the snowboard and can involuntarily no longer come loose.
  • the two pins 9 pressed towards one another towards the inside or pulled so that they come out of the openings 8, whereupon the shoe first raised at the heel and then removed from the binding can be.
  • a rope 12 is provided on the Back of the boot 1 is led up to the shaft and is held there with a strap 13.
  • a grip loop 14 At the end of the rope 12, a grip loop 14 is attached. Will on the rope 12 are drawn, as in connection with the following Description becomes clearer, the two bolts 9 pulled inwards, which opens the binding.
  • a special feature of the invention is that The binding is opened and unlocked on the boot and not - as with the previously known snowboard or ski bindings - on the part of the binding that is connected to the snowboard or the ski is fixed.
  • this has the advantage that the driver doesn't bend down to the binding must or - like most ski bindings - snowboarding Ski poles that are not available anyway to help must take.
  • the driver can also use the rope here if desired Extend any 12, for example up to the amount of Belt.
  • Another advantage is that essential Components of the binding are integrated in the boot.
  • the binding element permanently connected to the snowboard 2 be of a very simple design and therefore also very inexpensive, so that a rider who owns multiple snowboards only once the more expensive binding parts together with the Must buy boots, while for all snowboards only that cheaper binding element 2 must be bought.
  • heel part 6 the essential Contains components of the binding, also as a separate part manufactured and subsequently screwed onto a boot, glued or attached to it in any other way can.
  • FIG. 2A and 2B is a both side cheeks 7 'and 7' 'connecting, continuous Pin 9 used and a central locking lever 52, which is fixed to a rotary shaft 53.
  • the sole of the shoe has a downwardly open recess 57 to the side (Fig. 2A) opens out into an opening at its for The toe-pointing wall in turn has a slope 58 which, in cooperation with the pin 9 the Push the boots forward towards the tip.
  • the central one Locking lever is by a spring, not shown pressed into the locking position (Fig. 2A).
  • the locking lever 52 is curved and curved has a flat locking surface 55 which in locked position is aligned approximately horizontally and the pin attached to the side cheeks 7 'or 7' ' 9 or 9 'contacted. Adjacent to this locking surface 55, the locking lever 52 has a run-up slope 56, which ensures that when entering the binding that the locking lever 52 backwards into the Open position is pivoted as soon as the ramp 56 touches the pin 9. Once the tip of the locking lever has slipped past the pin 9, the Locking lever 52 forward by the spring force the locking position is pivoted and the binding is closed.
  • the first binding part 7 can be flexible attached to the snowboard by, for example, (like 4 explained in more detail in connection with FIG between the snowboard surface and the first Binding part a spring elastic plate made of rubber or flexible plastic is interposed.
  • Fig. 3 shows a further development of the invention, at which the traction member 12 to open the binding even further is extended and sometimes also in the driver's clothing is integrated.
  • the tension member can thus be of any height be carried out as is most convenient for the driver. It has proven expedient if the traction element is approximately up to to the level of the thigh, where it is by hand of the driver can be gripped without bending over.
  • There the extension strap 72 a further loop 77, the can be taken by hand.
  • This loop is 77 by a rubber band 78, for example on the belt of the Pants or attached to a loop sewn on the pants is held in place.
  • Fig. 4 shows a further variant of the invention, the basically applicable to all embodiments is.
  • the shoe-side second binding part is not here more in the heel but in the middle of the sole of the Boots 1 housed.
  • the snowboard side is accordingly Binding part 7 in a middle position on the snowboard attached. So that the boot 1 is only through both pins fixed and no longer by a front bracket.
  • To pivot the boot around the axis of rotation of the pins to prevent are on the snowboard surface in the heel and Tip area of the boot tread plates 80 and 81 applied, for example by sticking with them the location of the boot is defined.
  • These step plates 80 and 81 are preferably made of rubber-elastic material, to provide cushioning and shock absorption and a some flexibility for relative movement of the boot towards the snowboard.
  • the tension member 12 is in the same way as in the other embodiments operatively connected to the pin, so that the binding otherwise in the manner described above is working. Because with this variant the boots are not against a front bar must be pushed forward are the Sidewalls of the snowboard-side binding part 7 somewhat designed differently. Has the top of the side bolsters two V-shaped guide surfaces 10 and 10 ' end in a circular trough 17. Through this The guide surfaces 10 and 10 'become the boot when put on the spigot on these guide surfaces towards the trough 17 passed, where then according to the embodiment 3 and 3a, the trough 22 ensures that the pin pressed inwards and only when the opening is reached 8 go into their locking position.
