Definitions

  • the invention relates to a snowboard binding according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • a snowboard binding was publicly exhibited at ISPO in Kunststoff on February 24, 1994.
  • This binding had a front bar firmly attached to the snowboard, which overlapped the front part of the boot sole and celebrated with it.
  • a bolt running transversely to the longitudinal axis of the boot which protruded on both sides by about 5 to 10 mm from the bottom of the boot.
  • a heel element to be firmly screwed to the snowboard consisted of two side cheeks running parallel to each other and protruding perpendicularly from the snowboard surface, which had a perpendicular elongated hole into which the part of the bolt protruding laterally from the boot could be inserted.
  • a locking device on the side cheeks was in the form of a hook, which was pushed back when the bolts were inserted into the elongated holes and thus opened them while it was completely in the elongated holes the bolt parts picked up by spring force snapped into a locking position and thus locked the bolts.
  • a lever on one of the side cheeks had to be operated, which brought the stirrups into the open position and the heel part of the shoe could be removed from the binding. This binding exhibited at ISPO is also described in the post-published DE 43 11 630 A1.
  • AT-PS 351 419 shows a ski binding with a hinged shell that almost completely surrounds the driver's boot and is firmly attached to the surface of the ski.
  • a shell part covering the forefoot and the front of the shin are pivotably articulated on the front tip of the shell and can be pivoted between an open or entry position and a closed position. In the closed position, these two shell parts mentioned are locked to the fixed shell parts by spring-loaded locking pins.
  • the spring-loaded bolts can be brought into an unlocked position by means of cables to allow the binding to be released in the event of overloading or to open the binding for exiting. In the latter case, the driver can operate the cables by means of a lever attached to the fixed shell part. So it is a shell binding that should allow the use of very soft and therefore comfortable ski boots.
  • DE 25 56 817 A1 shows a ski binding with a binding plate which is fastened to the surface of the ski by means of spring-loaded cable pulls. If a release force is exceeded, this plate can move away from the surface of the ski by a distance predetermined by the length of the cable pulls.
  • a recess for this plate is provided in the sole of the ski boot.
  • an unlocking mechanism is provided on the plate, which can be operated by the driver by hand or with the ski pole.
  • step-in binding in which the driver does not have to operate locking elements by hand when entering the binding is described in DE 41 06 401 A1.
  • the boot is supported by two common straps, i.e. a front and a heel strap held.
  • the heel strap is, however, articulated on a tread element, which in turn is pivotally attached to binding parts firmly connected to the snowboard.
  • a locking mechanism is also attached to this, which, when the tread element is fully depressed, grips it and holds it locked in position.
  • the driver has to bend down and operate this locking mechanism by hand to open the binding. If there is snow or ice under the sole of the shoe, locking of the tread element is also not ensured, since this snow or ice would come to rest on the binding before the tread element is fully depressed. This binding is only partially functional.
  • DE 25 11 332 A1 shows a ski binding in which part of the binding is also integrated in the heel of the ski boot.
  • Two spring-loaded bolts with a spherical head protrude laterally from the heel part of the boot sole and snap into counter receptacles that are firmly attached to the side of the boot sole on the ski.
  • This is a self-triggering safety binding that opens when a predetermined force is exceeded. This force is determined by the spring pushing the two bolts outwards, as well as by the shape of the ball heads of these bolts and the shape of the receptacle for these ball heads.
  • the regular opening of the binding takes place on the toe piece holding the tip of the boot, while the heel attachment can only be opened by overcoming the spring force by folding up the boot.
  • the elements receiving the ball heads of the bolts can be rotated so that a groove provided therein allows the boot to be pulled upward out of the binding.
  • DE 31 41 425 A1 shows a safety binding for skis, in which spring-loaded pins are also attached to the boot and corresponding receiving devices are attached to the ski. Here too, a mechanism attached to the ski is actuated to open the binding.
  • DE 28 09 018 A1 shows a ski binding system consisting of a ski boot and triggering binding parts, a plate protruding laterally beyond the sole contour being embedded in the boot sole or two bolts spaced apart from one another and swivel hooks being provided on the ski, this plate or the two Reach over the bolts on the side.
  • step-in binding ie a binding which, similar to ski bindings, can be easily entered without the driver having to bend over to part of the Bond wzb. Activate locking bracket.
  • step-in bindings on snowboards which allow the boot to be completely released from the snowboard in the event of excessive force being exerted on the rider's foot, are still problematic since, despite numerous suggestions, the resulting safety problems for the driver or third parties have not yet been satisfactorily resolved. Finally, there is the serious space problem with snowboard bindings.
  • the snowboarder is essentially transverse to the direction of travel on 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 riders even aligning the rear foot backwards to the direction of travel, ie with an angle of over 90 °.
  • the toe and heel of the boot already protrude beyond the contour of the snowboard.
  • a snowboard binding must not protrude over the tip of the boot or the heel of the boot, as this would result in outstanding binding parts touching the snow when the snowboard is edged up. For this reason, the usual ski bindings that have the "step-in" function are not suitable for snowboards.
  • the object of the invention is therefore to improve the snowboard binding of the type mentioned in such a way that the comfort of the binding is further improved and the Binding nevertheless meets the requirements for low weight, functional reliability and the lowest possible costs.
  • 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.
  • the shoe-side binding part - as will be described in more detail in connection with FIG. 14 - is attached approximately in the middle of the shoe and it is ensured by pad blocks that the sole tip and the heel are at the correct height relative to the snowboard surface.
  • a binding base plate can also be omitted.
  • this variant also becomes a base plate use.
  • a snowboard boot 1 can be seen in side view, the one just 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 can be done in a variety of known ways.
  • the binding element has a front bar 4 which engages over a sole protrusion 5 of the snowboard boot 1 and thus fixes the front end of the snowboard boot.
  • this heel element 7 has two parallel side cheeks 7 'and 7' 'perpendicular to the base plate 3, the distance between which 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 of which a spring-loaded pin 9, which protrudes laterally from the heel part 6, can snap into place.
  • a sloping bevel 10 is provided on each of the side cheeks 7 'and 7'', which cooperate with projections 11 projecting laterally on the boot and, when the heel is pressed down, press the boot as a whole forward.
  • the distance between the pin 9 and the projection 11 corresponds exactly to the distance between the opening 8 and Slant 10, so that when the heel is pressed down, the spring-loaded pin 9 is surely guided past the opening 8 and can then snap into it. At the same time, the necessary force pushing the boot forward is generated, which presses the boot tip sufficiently firmly against the front bar 4.
  • the boot When the pins 9 are snapped into the openings 8, the boot is firmly attached to the snowboard and cannot involuntarily become detached.
  • the two pins 9 are pressed towards one another inwards or pulled so that they come out of the openings 8, whereupon the shoe can first be lifted at the heel and then removed from the binding.
  • a rope 12 is provided which is led up to the shaft on the back of the boot 1 and is held there by a strap 13.
  • a grip loop 14 At the end of the rope 12, a grip loop 14 is attached. If the cable 12 is pulled, the two bolts 9 are pulled inwards, as becomes clearer in connection with the following description, whereby the binding is opened.
  • a special feature of the invention is therefore that the binding is opened or unlocked on the boot and not - as in the previously known snowboard or ski bindings - on the part of the binding which is fixed to the snowboard or ski.
  • This has the advantage, among other things, that the driver does not have to bend down to the binding or - as with most ski bindings - does not have to use ski poles which are present anyway when snowboarding.
  • the driver can also extend the rope 12 as desired, for example up to the height of the belt.
  • Another advantage is that essential components of the binding are integrated in the boot.
  • the binding element 2 which is permanently connected to the snowboard, can thus be designed very simply and therefore also very inexpensively, so that a driver who has several snowboards only once has to buy the more expensive binding parts together with the boot, while for all snowboards only the cheaper binding element 2 has to be bought.
  • heel part 6 which contains essential components of the binding, can also be produced as a separate part and subsequently screwed, glued or otherwise attached to a boot.
  • Fig. 2 shows a side view of the heel-side components of the binding in the locked state, in which the pin 9 is therefore engaged in the opening 8.
  • the side cheek 7 is slidably guided on a holding block 15 fixed to the base plate 3, whereby the binding as a whole can be adapted to the shoe size.
  • An adjusting screw 16 is provided for moving the side cheeks.
  • the side cheeks have a trough 17 at their upper end, which makes it easier to get into the binding, namely that the pin 9 moves to the lowest point of the trough 17 with slight pressure on the heel, which means that the projection 11 is also in the correct position with respect to the slope 10 is. Furthermore, it can be clearly seen from FIG. 2 that the underside of the shoe sole of the heel part does not yet wzb on any binding elements when the binding is locked. the holding block 15 rests, but maintains a distance from it. This ensures that the binding locks securely even when there is snow under the sole of the boot. Since the heel of snowboards is supposed to be somewhat higher than the tip of the boot anyway, the invention can save the otherwise used wheel chocks for the heel part of the binding.
  • Fig. 3 the position of the two side cheeks 7 'and 7' 'can be seen, which project parallel to each other perpendicularly from the snowboard surface and between them take up the heel part of the snowboard boot.
  • the heel element 7 is thus guided firmly on the holding block 15 and can only be moved in the longitudinal direction of the snowboard.
  • the holding block 15 has an opening 20 for receiving the adjusting screw 16 and a slot, not shown, which opens the opening 20 to the top of the holding block 15, so that a threaded part, not shown, connected to the connecting element 18 is connected to the adjusting screw 16 , With which a longitudinal adjustment of the heel element 7 is possible.
  • the central axis 24 of the openings 8 is at a distance from the top of the connecting element 18, which distance is greater than the corresponding distance between the center of the pin 8 and the underside of the sole of the heel part 6 of Snowboard boots 1.
  • the function of the binding is not impaired by snow or ice on the sole of the snowboard boots.
  • Fig. 4 shows a plan view of the interior of the heel part 6 of the snowboard boot 1.
  • This heel part has a cavity 25 in which the pins 9 and 9 'and the mechanism for displacing them are accommodated.
  • the heel part 6 has two opposing openings that are aligned along an axis 26, which coincides with the axis 24 according to FIG. 3 when the binding is locked, into which guide bushings 27 and 27 'are inserted and in which the pins 9 and 9' are longitudinal the axis 26 are slidably guided. Both pins are pressed outwards by a spring 28 until, in the exemplary embodiment in FIG. 4, the spring 28 directly attached to the inside end faces of the pins 9 and 9 'abut against a stop which is formed here by the guide bushings 27.
  • the spring 28 is designed here as a U-shaped bracket.
  • the length of the pins 9 and 9 ' is dimensioned such that the pins 9 and 9' only emerge laterally from the contour of the heel part 6 by a predetermined amount, for example 5 to 10 mm.
  • the outwardly projecting ends of the pins 9 and 9 ' are rounded in order to facilitate the insertion of the pins between the two side cheeks 7' and 7 ''.
  • the radius of curvature of these roundings is preferably equal to half the diameter of the otherwise cylindrical pins, so that the tip of the pins projecting outwards form a hemisphere.
  • a pulling member 29 or 29 ' is attached to both pins 9 and 9', which in the simplest case can be a plastic or steel cable.
  • These two traction elements are guided in opposite directions over a deflecting post 30 and connected to one another and to the line 12 in a connecting element 31, which is led out of the interior of the heel part 6 through an opening 32, as shown in detail in FIG. 1.
  • the rope 12 can also be a plastic or steel rope. If this cable 12 is pulled, the tensile force is directed to the two traction elements 29 and 29 'and transmitted through the deflecting post 30 to the pins 9 and 9', so that these are pulled inwards into the heel part 6 along the axis 26. This will release the bond. If the rope 12 is released again, the two pins are pressed outwards again by the spring 28.
  • the projections 11 and 11 ' emerge from the contour of the heel element 6 approximately as far as the pins 9 and 9', whereby the pins 9 and 9 'are also shielded, so that the danger to get caught on the tenons during normal walking is reduced.
  • the projections 11 and 11 ' also have a rounded shape, for example an elliptical shape, and thus act as deflectors which prevent the pins 9 and 9' from getting caught on any objects.
  • the surface 33 and 33 'of the projections 11 and 11', which faces the pin 9 and 9 'directly, is essentially flat and is adapted to the bevel 10 (FIG. 1).

  • step plates 80 and 81 are applied to the snowboard surface in the heel and tip area of the boot, for example by gluing, with which the position of the boot is defined.
  • tread plates 80 and 81 are preferably made of rubber-elastic material in order to effect damping and shock absorption and to allow a certain flexibility for a relative movement of the boot with respect to the snowboard.
  • the traction element 12 is operatively connected to the pin in the same way as in the other exemplary embodiments, so that the binding otherwise works in the manner described above. Since in this variant the boot does not have to be pressed forward against a front bar, the side cheeks of the binding part 7 on the snowboard side are designed somewhat differently. The upper side of the side cheeks has two V-shaped guide surfaces 10 and 10 ', which end in a circular trough 17.
  • the boot is guided when the pins are placed on these guide surfaces in the direction of the trough 17, where the trough 22 then ensures, according to the exemplary embodiment of FIGS. 3 and 3a, that the pins are pressed inwards and only go into their locking position when opening 8 is reached.
  • a rubber-elastic block 82 is inserted here between the surface of the snowboard S and the first binding part 7 on the snowboard side.
