Definitions

  • the invention relates to a snowboard binding with a base plate to be fastened to the snowboard, with two holding brackets connected to the base plate, each of which can be pivoted about an axis running transversely to the longitudinal direction of the base plate and, in the holding state of the binding, the front or rear shoe edge of one overlap the standing snowboard or ski boot with a releasable locking mechanism that holds a first retaining bracket in the swiveled position overlapping the edge of the snowboard shoe and braces the snowboard shoe against the base plate, as well as with a tread element that can be pivoted about an axis running transversely to the longitudinal direction of the base plate which the first bracket is articulated and on which a first part of the locking mechanism is arranged, which can be locked in the lower position of the tread element to a second part of the locking mechanism attached to the base plate.
  • DE-OS 41 06 401 shows a snowboard binding of this type which, in contrast to previously known snowboard bindings, ensures a more secure mounting of the snowboard boot against lateral tilting movements by transmitting the holding and tensioning force directly via both holding brackets.
  • the manual locking of the snowboard binding which is generally perceived as annoying, is also to be avoided and the binding is to be locked into the holding position simply by stepping into the holding position by means of the snowboard shoe.
  • the area between the swiveling tread element and the locking mechanism arranged on the base plate is not covered, so that snow can easily penetrate into this area when the binding is open, which is necessary, for example, when driving the lift on the rear foot.
  • the penetrated snow prevents the tread element from swiveling down and thus prevents the snowboard binding from locking again.
  • the retaining bracket can get stuck on the snowboard boot when the binding is opened and cannot come loose from the edge of the snowboard boot, since the relative movement in the direction of the sole of the snowboard boot between the retaining bracket and the snowboard boot is not sufficiently large.
  • the position of the hinge articulated on the pivotable tread element is not fixed in the open state of the binding, so that it must first be brought into a suitable position by hand and held in this position before the snowboard boot is put on.
  • the object of the invention is to constructively improve the snowboard binding of DE-OS 41 06 401 and to make it easier to handle in practical use.
  • This object is achieved in that the articulation axis of the first bracket on the pivotable tread element in the holding state of the binding is further away from the top of the snowboard than the axis with which the tread element is articulated on the base plate.
  • Such a device creates a snowboard binding in which one of the two retaining brackets, in particular the rear one, detaches safely from the protruding (rear) edge of the snowboard boot when the binding is opened.
  • the axes of the pivotable tread element are arranged in such a way that when the binding of the retaining bracket is opened, the lever arm portion perpendicular to the base plate experiences a sufficiently large movement component in the direction of the base plate. The relative movement between the bracket and the edge of the snowboard shoe is thereby so great that a secure pulling off of the bracket is effected from the rear edge of the snowboard shoe.
  • the process of first bringing the retaining bracket into a suitable position by hand before boarding the snowboard boot and holding it in this position is not necessary if the position of the first retaining bracket relative to the tread element in the opened state of the snowboard binding is at least two Stops, in particular by a bracket guide groove, is defined, at least one of which can be overcome when the binding is closed.
  • the first retaining bracket is brought into the position defined for the opened state of the binding in a particularly simple manner if at least one side of an intermediate element has a contact surface for the retaining bracket articulated on the tread element, which holds the retaining bracket in the open position when the binding is opened into the position defined by the stops Condition of the snowboard binding directs.
  • a particularly favorable form of the pivotable tread element is achieved in that it is formed, in particular rounded, at its free end in such a way that the distance between the articulation axis of the holding bracket and the contact point of the tread element to the snowboard shoe sole is less in the open position of the binding than in that locked position.
  • the retaining bracket is additionally lifted off the protruding edge of the snowboard boot when the binding is opened, and in this way facilitates exiting the snowboard binding.
  • Another particularly advantageous design of the snowboard binding results from the fact that a cover is articulated at the outer end of the tread element, which is one to the Pivot axis of the tread element parallel axis is pivotable and is guided via pins parallel to the pivot axes in grooves laterally arranged on the intermediate element and completely covers the space between the tread element and the intermediate element and the entire locking mechanism in each pivot position of the tread element. This prevents snow from entering this area if the binding is open on the rear foot during a lift ride, for example. The snowboard binding can be locked again without any problems.
  • intermediate element and / or the second tread element are also advantageous to attach to the base plate via a guide rail, by means of which they can be displaced in the longitudinal direction of the base plate.
  • the intermediate element and / or the second tread element can be adjusted, for example, by a threaded spindle arranged in the displacement direction, a simple size adaptation to different snowboard boots is made possible in this way.
  • a particularly simple, robust and, at the same time, secure locking mechanism is provided if one or more locking pins are arranged on the first step element, which, when the step element is pivoted toward the base plate, snap onto a locking slide which can be adjusted in the intermediate element or in the base plate against spring load, which by an opening lever can be moved against the spring load and releases the lock.
  • the locking pins have a spherical section-shaped head, the base area of which is larger than the cross section of the adjoining locking pin area, with which they reach through a cam-shaped recess in the locking slide and engage behind the locking slide.
  • FIG. 5 The locking mechanism The snowboard binding shown in Figure 1 consists of a front binding area 1 and a rear binding area 2, which are arranged on a base plate 3.
  • two base plates 3 are detachably fastened in a known manner to a snowboard 4, which is only partially shown here, such that the angle between the longitudinal direction of the snowboard 4 and the longitudinal directions of the two base plates 3 can be changed.
  • the entry into this snowboard binding is similar to that of a well-known safety binding for skis.
  • the ski or snowboard shoe 9 is placed on the front tread element 6 such that the holding bracket 7 engages over the edge 8 of the shoe 9.
  • the pivotable tread element 15 is depressed, as a result of which the rear retaining bracket 18 engages over the rear shoe edge 20 and pulls the shoe 9 onto the tread surface 14.
  • the tread element 15 is automatically locked in its lower pivoting position and the snowboard shoe 9 is braced against the tread elements 6 and 15 by both holding brackets 7 and 18 and can only be unlocked manually by actuating an opening lever 36.
  • the front binding area 1 consists of a guide rail 5 fastened to the base plate 3, to which a step element 6 is fastened in such a way that it can be displaced in the longitudinal direction of the base plate 3, for example via an adjusting screw 37, in order in this way to adapt the snowboard To allow binding to different snowboard shoe sizes.
  • a front retaining bracket 7 is pivotally mounted on the tread element 6, which in the holding state of the binding engages over the front edge 8 of a snowboard shoe 9, which is only partially shown here, and braces the snowboard shoe against the tread element 6.
  • the holding bracket 7 lies in the position corresponding to the holding state of the binding on a stop 10 and can be folded back, for example when transporting the snowboard.
  • the contact surface 11 of the tread element 6 on the snowboard shoe sole 12 is curved so that the snowboard shoe 9 can roll on the front tread element 6 when entering and exiting the binding.
  • the contact surface 11 of the tread element 6 on the snowboard shoe sole 12 has one or more retaining ribs 13 which are angular on the front side and rounded on the rear side.
  • the contact surface 14 of the rear, swiveling tread element 15 on the snowboard shoe sole 12 is arranged higher than the contact surface 11 of the tread element 6 on the snowboard shoe sole 12.
  • the retaining bracket 18 moves far enough away from the snowboard shoe 9 when the binding is opened, so that it can be easily removed upwards.
  • the tread element 15 has two retaining bracket guide grooves 21 and 22 on both side surfaces, into which the retaining bracket 18 lies with its resilient legs in the opened state or in the retaining state of the binding, and thus in its position relative to the tread element 15 and to the entire snowboard binding is determined in each case.
  • the retaining bracket 18 overcomes the web 23, which is located between the two retaining bracket guide grooves 21 and 22, by springing open laterally.
  • a guide body 24 is arranged, each with a contact surface 25, which guides the retaining bracket 18 from the retaining bracket guide groove 22 into the retaining bracket guide groove 21 when the binding is opened.
  • the holding bracket 18 is guided by the rear shaft side 26 of the snowboard shoe 9 from the holding bracket guide groove 21 into the holding bracket guide groove 22 and, when the binding is in the holding state, braces the snowboard shoe 9 against the tread element 15.
  • the two guide bodies 24 the rear part of the snowboard boot 9 additional lateral support.
  • the cross section of the pivotable tread element 15 is shown, which is rounded at its free end such that the distance between the articulation axis 19 of the bracket 18 to the underside of the snowboard shoe sole 12 in the opened state of the binding (d1) is significantly less than in the holding state the bond (d2).
  • the retaining bracket 18 is raised more when the binding is opened than the snowboard shoe 9 and is also sufficiently far from the rear edge of the snowboard shoe 20 in the vertical direction.
  • FIG. 4 shows a cover 27 which is pivotably articulated on the tread element 15 about the axis 19 and extends over the entire width of the tread element 15.
  • an inwardly facing pin 29 is arranged, which is guided in a groove 30 on the side surfaces of the intermediate element 17.
  • the locking mechanism is shown in Figure 5 and in Figure 2.
  • two locking pins 31 are fastened which, when the binding is closed, pass through the cam-shaped recesses 32 of a locking slide 33 which is guided in the intermediate element 17.
  • the locking pin heads 34 in the form of spherical sections meet the closer side of the cam-shaped recesses 32 provided with a run-in slope and move the locking slide 33 against a compression spring 35 until the locking pin heads 34 engage on the wider side of the cam-shaped recesses 32 through the locking slide 33.
  • the compression spring 35 moves the locking slide 33 back into its starting position and the binding is locked in the holding state.
  • the lock can also be opened in such a way that an opening lever or a strap is pulled, which can be connected, for example, or be identical to the lanyard attached to the snowboard.
