Definitions

  • the invention relates to a binding for fixing a sports shoe to a snowboard, which has at least one binding element that engages front and rear and / or centrally and / or laterally on the sports shoe or is firmly connected to the sports shoe by suitable means, the Binding element is supported on the snowboard via at least two elastically deformable elements.
  • a binding of the type mentioned above has become known, for example, from WO 89/08420.
  • This publication describes a snowboard binding with a binding plate which can be pivoted in both directions by a certain angle about an axis lying in the longitudinal direction of the shoe.
  • springs of the same type are provided symmetrically to the longitudinal center plane.
  • the front or rear end of the binding plate is mounted on a torsion bar connected to the snowboard for this purpose.
  • a safety binding for a snowboard is disclosed therein, in which the fastening plate for the snowboard shoe is mounted on a plurality of springs arranged symmetrically to the longitudinal center plane and consequently can be rotated or pivoted in any direction. A deflection of the fastening plate from its rest position is provided for actuating the release mechanism for the safety binding.
  • ski bindings have also become known in which elastic elements are provided between the ski boot and the ski.
  • DE-A-2 255 406 describes a ski binding in which the ski boot can be tilted laterally in both directions in order to make cornering easier.
  • the tilting of the ski boot is achieved in that two elastic pads and a joint are provided between the ski boot and the ski.
  • a pivot axis lying in the longitudinal center plane of the ski boot is defined by the joint.
  • this device has not proven itself on skis, since in particular on hard slopes a strong use of edges is required, which is made impossible in this way.
  • US Pat. No. 3,917,298 describes a ski binding in which a flexible element is provided between the ski and a binding plate.
  • the inclination of the boot in relation to the ski is adjusted and fixed via this element by means of adjusting screws. This means that the ski boot can only be tilted to the side using the adjusting screws and therefore not automatically while skiing.
  • EP-A-454 655 shows a ski in which a damping element is integrated in the binding area, by means of which vertical shocks are damped.
  • a rigid connection to the upper flange of the ski prevents the ski binding or ski boot from being tilted sideways.
  • the invention is based on the idea of enabling the tilting of the snowboard binding preferably towards the inside of the shoe and only very slightly towards the outside of the shoe.
  • This measure according to the invention enables problem-free initiation of a control pulse by pressing the knee joints together and thus problem-free cornering with minimal stress on the lower leg / foot region, in particular the ankle.
  • An advantage of this device is that tilting of the sports shoe toward the outside of the shoe is reduced to a small extent, as a result of which this sports shoe assumes a stable position on the snowboard and good power transmission is ensured.
  • the use of this device on a snowboard binding has the further advantage that any combination of shoe and snowboard can be selected while maintaining the driving characteristics.
  • the device according to the invention is distinguished from many known devices in that the pressure point on the snowboard remains essentially stationary in any driving position, as a result of which no undesirable change in the driving properties occurs.
  • Advantageous embodiments of this invention result from the use of at least two elastomer blocks or springs with different hardness.
  • the elastomer blocks have a rectangular or triangular cross section, the elements arranged on the outside of the shoe having a greater hardness than those located on the inside of the shoe.
  • a joint is additionally provided between the binding element and the snowboard, through which the tilt axis runs.
  • the elastically deformable elements are interchangeable.
  • an advantageous embodiment of the invention is possible in that the tilt axis runs essentially in a horizontal plane and is slightly inclined with respect to the longitudinal center plane of the sports shoe.
  • the tilt axis (K) - viewed in a plan view from the rear to the front - preferably runs from the outside of the shoe towards the inside of the shoe.
  • FIGS. 1 and 2 show a sports shoe with a shell 1 and a sole 2, which is fixed to a snowboard 3 by means of a snowboard binding.
  • the snowboard binding consists of a binding element 4 which, as cannot be seen here, either engages the front and rear and / or centrally and / or laterally on the sports shoe or is connected to the sports shoe by means of fasteners such as straps, the sports shoe 1 is releasably attached to this binding element 4 in a known manner.
  • This binding element 4 is connected via two elastic tilting elements 5a, 5b to a base plate 6, by means of which the binding is fastened to the snowboard 3, for example by screwing or gluing, these being elastic Elements 5a, 5b preferably consist of elastomer material and the element 5a arranged on the inside of the shoe has a lower hardness than the element 5b arranged on the outside of the shoe.
  • the binding element 4 and the base plate 6 are connected via a joint 7, which is arranged approximately under the middle of the shoe and is aligned in the longitudinal direction of the shoe. Within this joint 7 lies the tilt axis K, about which the sports shoe is preferably tilted inwards.
  • Fig. 2 the device described above is shown tilted about the axis K towards the inside of the shoe.
  • the position of the tilt axis close to the surface of the snowboard ensures that the pressure point does not change or changes only slightly when the sports shoe is tilted.
  • FIG. 3 shows an embodiment of the binding according to the invention, in which three elastically deformable tilting elements 15a, 15b, 15c are provided, which are lined up laterally between the binding element 4 and the base plate 6.
  • the two tilting elements 15a, 15c have essentially the same hardness, which is in any case less than that of the element 15b shown with hatching. This enables the sports shoe to be tilted, the different sizes of these elements 15a, 15c ensuring a preferential tilting in the direction of the inside of the shoe. However, equally large tilting elements 15a, 15c with different hardness could also be used. In contrast to the exemplary embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, this embodiment has no real joint.
  • the tiltability is achieved in a simple manner by the different hardness or size of the elastomer blocks 15a, b, c, the pivot axis K not taking an exactly defined position, but being in the area of the element 15b.
  • Such an embodiment has the advantage of simple and inexpensive manufacture.
  • FIG. 25a, 25b, 25c, 25d to be seen here are triangular in cross-section, the elements 25b and 25c or 25a and 25d being essentially the same size. Furthermore, the elements 25b, 25c have essentially the same hardness, whereas the element 25a on the inside of the shoe is softer than the element 25d on the outside of the shoe. Both elements 25a and 25d have a lower hardness than elements 25b, c. As can be seen in Figure 4, all triangular elements touch each other with one of their tips. This point of contact is also the one through which the tilt axis K runs. No real joint is provided in this embodiment either.
  • FIG. 5 shows a further exemplary embodiment, in which springs 35a, 35b of different hardness are provided as elastically deformable elements, which act between the binding element 4 and the base plate 6.
  • This device can optionally be designed with or, as in the case shown, without a joint.
  • An advantage of the embodiment with a joint is, for example, that the tilting movement is precisely defined.
  • the joint can be designed so that its position with respect to the shoe can be changed, for example by means of adjusting screws. However, this is at the expense of the overall height and the production costs, which means that in many cases an embodiment without a joint is sufficient.
  • the device according to the invention is shown below the sports shoe in the exemplary embodiments shown, such a device can also be arranged in front of, behind and / or to the side of the shoe.
  • such a device can be installed below conventional front or heel cheeks of known snowboard bindings or other fastening means for snowboard shoes.
  • the position of the tilt axis with respect to the snowboard boot and the snowboard can be chosen as desired in accordance with the requirements. Any component that allows the sports shoe to tilt can be regarded as a joint in the sense of the invention.
  • any suitable element and any suitable construction can be selected.
  • part of the snowboard binding according to the invention, in particular the elastically deformable elements can already be integrated in the snowboard, as a result of which the overall height of such a device is significantly reduced.
