Abstract

The connection has a base (3) which is fixed to the snow-board by screws (6) and slots (4). The angle of connection is variable to the board. The connection also comprises two lateral wedge gibs (5,7) which grip into groove in the sole profile and hold it in position. One wedge gib (7) is movably arranged to enable fitting for larger boots. A hard component can be inserted in the soft sole of the boot to increase the strength of the joint.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine feste Verbindung zwischen einem Snowboard und einem speziellen, partiell auch zur Erfindung gehörenden Schuh, welcher seiner Beschaffenheit nach ein sogenannter Softboot ist.
Bei den bisher bekannten Bindungen, die zur Aufgabe haben , einen Softboot fest mit einem Snowboard zu verbinden, wird der Schuh in eine Plastikschale gestellt und dann mittels 2-3 Schnallen fixiert. Die vorliegende Erfindung bietet die Möglichkeit, einen Softboot ohne Schale und Schnallen, die über den Fuß führen, fest mit dem Snowboard zu verbinden.
Nur die Sohle wird in der Bindung fixiert, aber bleibt zum größten Teil weich, so daß das Kennzeichen eines Softboots erhalten bleibt. Als zum Beispiel "weich" kann hier Gummi genannt werden. Als zum Beispiel "hart" kann Hartplastik angenommen werden. Die Erfindung läßt sich natürlich auch auf Schuhe mit harter Sohle anwenden. Eine weitere Besonderheit der Bindung ist, daß das System seitlich auf den Schuh zugreift.
Die Erfindung ist dargestellt durch:

  • Fig. 1 Ansicht eines Schuhs
  • Fig. 2 Ansicht der Bindung räumlich
  • Fig. 3 Ansicht der Bindung seitlich
  • Fig. 4 Das Zusammenführen der beiden Elemente aus Fig. 1 und Fig. 2
The invention relates to a fixed connection between a snowboard and a special, partially also part of the invention shoe, which by its nature is a so-called soft boot.
With the bindings known so far, which have the task of firmly connecting a soft boot to a snowboard, the shoe is placed in a plastic shell and then fixed by means of 2-3 buckles. The present invention offers the possibility of firmly connecting a soft boot to the snowboard without a shell and buckles which run over the foot.
Only the sole is fixed in the binding, but remains largely soft, so that the hallmark of a soft boot is retained. For example, " soft" rubber can be mentioned here. For example, hard plastic can be assumed to be " hard". The invention can of course also be applied to shoes with a hard sole. Another special feature of the binding is that the system accesses the shoe from the side.
The invention is represented by:
  • Fig. 1 view of a shoe
  • Fig. 2 view of the binding spatially
  • Fig. 3 side view of the binding
  • 4 The merging of the two elements from FIGS. 1 and 2

Fig. 1 zeigt einen beliebigen Softboot mit einer stellenweise harten Sohle. Aus härterem Material ist einzig und allein der Teil des Schuhs, der mit Ziffer 1 gekennzeichnet ist. Weiterhin führt eine Nut(2) vom Fersenende des Schuhs zum gehärteten Mittelteil (1). Die Nut geht in das härtere Teil über und wird dort weitergeführt. Die Nut schließt am Zehenende des harten Elements ab.Fig. 1 shows any soft boot with a hard sole in places. Only the part of the shoe marked with number 1 is made of harder material. Furthermore, a groove (2) leads from the heel end of the shoe to the hardened middle part (1). The groove merges into the harder part and is continued there. The groove closes at the toe end of the hard element.

Fig. 2 zeigt die Bindung in räumlicher Darstellung. Die Grundplatte (3) wird mittels Schrauben und den Langlöchern (4) direkt mit dem Snowboard verbunden. Hierbei sind auch andere Lösungen denkbar, wie zum Beispiel einen Drehteller oder auch eine Lösung ganz ohne Grundplatte. Wichtig ist bei der Befestigung nur, daß der Winkel der Bindung zum Board variabel ist.
Die Keile (5),(7) sind so beschaffen, daß sie in das Profil der Sohle hineingreifen und sie fixieren. Der eine Keil (7) ist beweglich gelagert, um eine Größenanpassung des Schuhs zu ermöglichen. Eine geeignete Lösung sind hier die Langlöcher mit den Schrauben(6) die den Keil auf der Grundplatte fixieren.
Die Schnalle (8) verhindert in geschlossenem Zustand, daß die Bindung den Schuh wieder freigibt.
Fig. 3 zeigt zur Verdeutlichung die Bindung nochmals in der Vorderansicht. Die arabischen Ziffern aus Fig. 2 gelten für Fig. 3 in gleicher Weise. Die Keilform der Profile (5) (7) erscheint sinnvoll, doch auch jede andere Profilform ist denkbar.Fig. 2 shows the binding in a spatial representation. The base plate (3) is connected directly to the snowboard using screws and the elongated holes (4). Other solutions are also conceivable, such as a turntable or a solution without a base plate. It is only important when fastening that the angle of the binding to the board is variable.
The wedges (5), (7) are designed so that they reach into the profile of the sole and fix it. One wedge (7) is movably mounted to enable the size of the shoe to be adjusted. A suitable solution here are the elongated holes with the screws (6) that fix the wedge on the base plate.
When closed, the buckle (8) prevents the binding from releasing the shoe.
Fig. 3 shows the binding again in the front view. The Arabic numerals from FIG. 2 apply to FIG. 3 in the same way. The wedge shape of the profiles (5) (7) seems reasonable, but any other profile shape is also conceivable.

Fig. 4 zeigt das Zusammenfügen der gezeigten Elemente aus Fig. 1-3. Dies passiert indem man die Nut (2) des Schuhs in die Profile (5) (7) der Bindung einführt. Der Schuh wird solange nach hinten geschoben, bis das Mittelteil (1) mit den Keilen (5) (7) deckungsgleich ist.
Zuletzt wird eine Schnalle (8) geschlossen, die das Herausrutschen des Schuhs in Zehenrichtung verhindert. Somit ist der Schuh in alle Richtungen fixiert.FIG. 4 shows the assembly of the elements shown in FIGS. 1-3. This is done by inserting the groove (2) of the shoe into the profiles (5) (7) of the binding. The shoe is pushed back until the middle part (1) is congruent with the wedges (5) (7).
Finally, a buckle (8) is closed, which prevents the shoe from slipping out in the toe direction. So the shoe is fixed in all directions.
