Technical field

The present invention relates to a kind of shoes be remained on device on the sports apparatus, this device keeps shoes by at least one frenulum.The invention still further relates to a kind of frenulum as a device part.

This device be used for exercise on the snow or surfing on the skis, on snow or water skiing waterborne, snowshoe, skidding etc.

Background technology

The device with frenulum of prior art generally comprises a side direction side plate and a middle side plate and at least one frenulum, form a zone of accepting shoes between side plate and the middle side plate, frenulum connects by a side direction and centre is connected with each of side direction side plate and middle side plate and is connected.

Each frenulum is used to keep shoes, and ties shoes tight or loose.In order to keep shoes and therefore control instrument exactly well, need the locking of a floor level.Too big for fear of the pressure that is applied on the shoes, frenulum generally is provided with mat.This makes device become comfortable.

Keep and comfortable be two opposite functions, the improvement of one of them can destroy another, vice-versa.Therefore be maintained with the thickness of mat traditionally and comfortable between a kind of trading off.

Sometimes observe, frenulum part on shoes applies overvoltage.

For example on skis, fasten back fixed edge (carre) and produce an overvoltage at a zone line of frenulum sometimes.Perhaps a relative user's horizontal impact produces an overvoltage in the most eccentric zone of frenulum sometimes.

These overvoltages usually are interim.But it can destroy the comfortableness of manipulation, makes manipulation very painful sometimes.

Summary of the invention

One of purpose of the present invention is exactly to improve the comfortableness of the holding device with at least one frenulum.

Particularly the present invention makes every effort to reduce even eliminates frenulum and is applied to overvoltage on the shoes, and don't sacrifices the maintenance of shoes.

For this reason, the present invention proposes a kind of shoes to be remained on holding device on the sports apparatus, this holding device comprises a lateral parts and a mid portion---these two parts form a zone of accepting shoes, and at least one frenulum, described frenulum connects by a side and a centre is connected with described lateral parts and is connected with in the described mid portion each.

Device of the present invention is characterised in that frenulum comprises at least one bag, is used to accept the impact relevant with the manipulation of described apparatus, and bag is deformable and a fluid is housed.In manipulation process, described bag has the tendency of distortion applying a pressure place.Described fluid bears a pressure to be changed, and this pressure variation extends on the whole bag.Therefore bag deforms, so that described frenulum is close on the shoes better, makes more closely contact between the two.Cause the contact zone between described frenulum and the shoes to become bigger thus.

So obviously reduce even eliminated described frenulum and be applied to local excess pressure on the shoes.

A consequent advantage is that the comfortableness of handling improves greatly, particularly in the changeless direction of comfortableness.

Certainly, also can cover part 23 be connected with the first pontes 22 with additive method.

There are a link 40 and a free end 41 in second coupling part 24.Link 40 was connected with middle side plate 13 by middle a connection.For example middle connection 42 is one and passes through the hinged of a rivet realization.

Be provided with one second jockey, cover part 23 is connected with second coupling part 24 in adjustable mode, the free end 41 of second coupling part 24 is on cover part 23.For example this device comprises a screw 43 that is screwed in the cover part 23, second end, 44 places in the cover part.Screw 43 passes one of them eyelet 45 in second coupling part 24.

Therefore, the user can make second end 44 of cover part 23 near middle side plate 13.The position adjustments of 23 relative second coupling parts 24, cover part seldom changes.Its setting is in order to consider the volume of shoes.

Two hinged basically along a transverse axis of device, can make second frenulum 21 evenly cover shoes like this.

Certainly, can realize by alternate manner hinged, as screw, axle journal or alternate manner.

Equally, can realize being connected of frenulum 21 and

side plate

12,13 by alternate manner, as canoe or alternate manner round a chape (passant).

Frenulum 21 cannot promptly extend to the direction of another side plate from a side plate at its length direction basically.The material that for this reason constitutes frenulum 21 is through selecting.The first pontes 22 and the second coupling part 24 long band made of synthetic material preferably particularly is as a kind of polyamide or a kind of reinforcing or unguyed polyurethane.

Cover part 23 also is microscler.Cover part 23 extends between first end 32 and the second end 44 along a vertical L at length direction, extend between one first edge 46 and one second edge 47 at width, extending on the short transverse between an inner surface 48 and the outer surface 49.

Certainly, inner surface 48 is used for towards shoes.

Cover part 23 comprises girth member 50 softness and inextensible basically, and girth member 50 extends between first end 32 and the second end 44.Girth member 50 makes cover part 23 have a kind of ability of surrounding and keeping shoes.

According to the present invention, frenulum 21 comprises at least one bag 60, is used to accept the impact relevant with the manipulation of apparatus, and bag 60 is deformable, and a kind of fluid is housed.Its deformability makes bag 60 meet the shape of shoes.Therefore contacting pressure more is evenly distributed on the frenulum 21.

According to embodiments of the invention, as what recognize by Fig. 3-8, bag 60 is as the part of cover part 23.

As what see especially in Fig. 4, bag 60 extends between the first end 32 of cover part 23 and the second end 44 and on the major part between first edge 46 and second edge 47.Therefore the basic pressure that contacts on the whole component part of cover part 23 all has better distribution.A consequent advantage is more comfortable during handling.

Bag 60 is subdivided into the compartment of some bunchiness.This layout makes bag and cover part 23 have the ability of better adaptation shoes shape.

The distribution of compartment can be as follows:

For example bag 60 44 comprises 63, one second intermediate section compartments 64 and the second end compartment 65 a first end compartment 61, one first intermediate section compartment 62, central compartment along first edge 46 from first end 32 to the second end.These

compartments

61,62,63,64,65 form one first row.

Similarly, bag 60 44 comprises 68, one second intermediate section compartments 69 and the second end compartment 70 a first end compartment 66, one first intermediate section compartment 67, central compartment along second edge 47 from first end 32 to the second end.These

compartments

66,67,68,69,70 form one second row.

First row of compartment and second row and the central shaft symmetry of L longitudinally.This symmetry can make cover part 23 adapt to the shape of shoes buckle fold better.

Compartment interconnects by some passages, describes these passages as example below.

Near first edge 46, a first passage 71 makes first end compartment 61 be connected with the first intermediate section compartment 62, and a second channel 72 makes the second intermediate section compartment 64 be connected with the second end compartment 65.

Similarly, near second edge 47, a first passage 73 makes first end compartment 66 be connected with the first intermediate section compartment 67, and a second channel 74 makes the second intermediate section compartment 69 be connected with the second end compartment 70.Each passage in

first passage

71,73 and the

second channel

72,74 has two openings, and each opening leads to a compartment.
