Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a snowboard binding with angular adjustment.
  • Snowboarding is characterized by various techniques that can be used by the sportsman, including jumps and various stunts, slalom, and speed. Of course, to correctly perform each one of these techniques, the user must assume a body posture that has a given angle with respect to the longitudinal axis of the board.
  • US-5,028,068 discloses a device, for selectively and pivotally positioning a ski binding on a snowboard, comprising a first plate that supports the boot and is arranged above a second circular plate that is perimetrically provided with a groove.
  • the second circular plate is rotatably connected to a third plate that is in turn rigidly connected to the board.
  • the second circular plate has a cord that surrounds it and can be tensioned by means of a lever.
  • the actuation of the lever allows the engagement and/or disengagement of the cord with respect to the second circular plate, thus allowing the user to vary the angular position of the binding with respect to the longitudinal axis of the board.
  • lever for tensioning the cord is distant and spaced from the binding. This lever can therefore easily disengage for example because of accidental impacts against rocks or other objects or because of the snow.
  • a portion of the cord is also exposed to possible accidental impacts, and the cord can be torn or be weakened, thus hindering the operation of the binding.
  • US-5,044,654 discloses a binding that can be rotated about its own vertical axis. Six spaced holes are formed thereon to accommodate a corresponding number of screws that are adapted to fix it to the board in a desired angular position that is preset by the user. The angular position can be changed by unscrewing the screws and repositioning them so that the binding is rotated by the desired angle.
  • Said binding also includes a safety for the quick release of the boot from the board that is composed essentially of a hub on which shaped seats are provided perimetrically to accommodate a ball, said accommodation being forced by means of a spring.
  • Inclined planes protrude below said disk, toward the board, and are arranged perimetrically; they interact with appropriate complementarily shaped planes that are formed at an adapted seat for containing the disk that is formed on the binding.
  • the disk By tightening the screws, the disk moves toward the board until its inclined planes interact with the complementarily shaped planes formed on the binding, thus locking the disk and the binding to the board in a desired position.
  • the disk By rising, the disk allows to turn the binding, which can be arranged in the desired angular position.
  • this conventional binding has other drawbacks; the user must remove his gloves, remove his foot from the binding, be equipped with a screwdriver or with an adapted wrench to disengage the screws, turn the binding with his hands into the position that is proximate to the desired one, and tighten the whole assembly.
  • a further solution that is used is known as "baseless”, and includes a binding that is constituted by two separate half-shells that are mutually connected by a rear strap; each half-shell is fixed to the board by means of screws that are accommodated in adapted slots formed on the flat part of said half-shells.
  • This conventional binding has the drawback that its angular adjustment is limited by the dimensions of the slots.
  • the aim of the present invention is therefore to eliminate the drawbacks described above in conventional types by providing a device that allows to achieve a desired angular adjustment of the binding, with respect to the longitudinal axis of the board; said adjustment being stable during sports practice, thus increasing the degree of safety for the user.
  • an object is to provide a device in which the preset adjustment of the angle cannot be modified by the possible presence of snow or water.
  • Another object is to provide a device that allows the user to achieve said desired adjustment very easily and quickly, without the user having to have particular tools available.
  • Another object is to provide an invention that is structurally compact and is not subjected to accidental opening during sports practice.
  • Another object is to provide a device that allows the user to modify the angular adjustment of the binding with respect to the board while keeping the boot associated with the binding and therefore even during sports practice.
  • Another object is to provide a device that ensures that the locking of the binding to the board during adjustment of the angle is maintained, increasing safety for the user.
  • Another object is to provide a device whose bulk and weight are negligible for the user during use of the board.
  • Another object is to provide a device that is reliable and safe in use and can be produced with reduced costs by means of conventional machines.
  • a snowboard binding with angular adjustment comprising a disk rigidly connected to a snowboard and a supporting base for a shoe, characterized in that it comprises engagement means associated with said base and selectively interacting with grip means formed on said disk.
  • said engagement means interact with said grip means in contrast with at least one flexible element.
  • the reference numeral 1 designates an angular adjustment device, particularly for a snowboard binding 2 that comprises a disk 3, which is rigidly connected to the snowboard by means of screws that pass through adapted first holes 4, and a base 5 for supporting a shoe that is not shown.
  • Base 5 is rotatably associated with disk 3 in a conventional manner and can also perform limited vertical movements with respect to the disk by means of adapted inclined planes, which are per se known and not shown, and protrude from the mutually facing surfaces of the base and of the disk.
  • Two shoulders 6a and 6b protrude from the substantially rectangular base 5 along the longitudinal sides and on the opposite face with respect to the snowboard.
  • the device comprises engagement means, associated with the base, that are constituted by a pawl 7 that has a first end 8 that is pivoted, by means of a pivot 9, internally and longitudinally to base 5 adjacent to shoulder 6a.
  • Pawl 7 has one or more teeth 11, at the second end 10, which can be arranged above said disk 3. Teeth 11 can be selectively engaged at an equal number of grip means that are preferably constituted by a plurality of second holes 12 that are formed radially with respect to the disk.
  • Pawl 7 can rotate about pivot 9 in contrast with at least one flexible element.
  • the flexible element is constituted by two springs 13a and 13b that are arranged coaxially at the ends of pivot 9 and are adapted to force teeth 11 of pawl 7 at an equal number of second holes 12.
  • the use of the invention is therefore as follows: in order to adjust the angular position of the base with respect to the disk, the user must remove the boot from the binding and raise pawl 7 to therefore disengage teeth 11 from the corresponding second holes 12. Then the user rotates base 5 into the desired position, and releases pawl 7, positioning the teeth at other second holes.
  • the invention has achieved the intended aim and objects, a binding having been provided that allows to achieve a desired angular adjustment, with respect to the longitudinal axis of the board, that is stable during sports practice, thus increasing the safety of the user, said adjustment being easy to set and modify by the user even in the presence of snow or water.
  • This adjustment can be achieved very easily and quickly by the user without requiring him/her to have particular tools available, and the binding has a small bulk and weight and is compact.
  • figs. 5 to 8 illustrate a binding 101 with angular adjustment device that comprises a disk 103, which is rigidly connected to a snowboard, and a base 105 that is rotatably connected to the disk.
  • Two shoulders 106a and 106b protrude from the essentially rectangular base 105 along the longitudinal sides and on the opposite face with respect to the snowboard.
  • the device comprises engagement means that are associated with base 105 and are constituted by two pawls 107a and 107b that have a first end 108a and 108b that is pivoted by means of pivots 109a and 109b arranged internally and transversely to base 105 between shoulders 106a and 106b.
  • Pawls 107a and 107b have teeth 111, at the second end 110a and 110b that can be arranged above disk 103. Teeth 111 can be selectively engaged at a complementarily shaped set of teeth 112 that is formed in an upward region of, and radially to, disk 103 at the edge 114.
  • Pawl 107 can rotate about pivots 109 in contrast with at least one flexible element.
  • the flexible element is constituted by two springs 113 that are arranged coaxially to pivots 109 and are adapted to force teeth 111 of pawls 107a and 107b at the desired region of the complementarily shaped set of teeth 112.
  • Figs. 9 to 11 illustrate a further embodiment of a binding 201 with angular adjustment that comprises a disk 203 and a base 205 that is rotatably associated therewith.
  • Two shoulders 206a and 206b protrude from the essentially rectangular base 205 along the longitudinal sides and on the opposite face with respect to the snowboard.
  • the device comprises engagement means, associated with the base, that are constituted by a pawl 207 which, proximate to a first end 208, is pivoted by means of a pivot 209 above base 205 in the interspace between the pair of shoulders 206a and 206b.
  • Pawl 207 is arranged transversely to base 205 and has at least one rectangular or trapezoidal tooth 211 at its first end 208. Tooth 211 can be selectively engaged at a set of teeth 216 that is formed radially with respect to disk 203.
  • Pawl 207 has a second end 210 that protrudes externally with respect to shoulder 206a through an adapted slot 215 formed longitudinally in the shoulder.
  • a grip tab 218 for the user is associated with second end 210 and protrudes on the opposite side with respect to the snowboard.
  • Pawl 207 can rotate about pivot 209 in contrast with at least one flexible element.
  • the flexible element is constituted by a spring 217 that is arranged laterally adjacent to shoulder 206a and is connected, at its ends, to pawl 207 and to a pin 219 that protrudes at right angles to base 205. The spring forces tooth 211 of the pawl into the set of teeth 216.
  • Figs. 11 and 12 illustrate a further embodiment of a binding 301 with angular adjustment that comprises a disk 303 and a base 305 that is rotatably associated therewith.
  • Two shoulders 306a and 306b protrude from the essentially rectangular base 305 along the longitudinal sides and on the opposite face with respect to the snowboard.
  • the device comprises engagement means, associated with the base, that are constituted by two pawls 307a and 307b that are arranged essentially longitudinally to base 305, proximate to the longitudinal edges thereof that are adjacent to the pair of shoulders 306a and 306b.
  • Pawls 307a and 307b also have a second end 310 that is pivoted to the underlying base 305 by means of an adapted pivot 309.
  • Each pawl 307a and 307b has a first end 308 that has at least one region that faces the edge 314 of disk 303 and is shaped complementarily thereto. Teeth 311 are formed at said region and are shaped complementarily with respect to a set of teeth 316 that is formed at edge 314.
  • each pawl 307a and 307b has a tab, designated by the reference numerals 318a and 318b, that protrudes externally with respect to the two shoulders 306a and 306b through adapted slots 315a and 315b.
  • Tabs 318a and 318b are essentially L-shaped, and one of their wings lies approximately parallel to the two shoulders 306a and 306b so as to allow the user to grip it.
  • Pawls 307a and 307b are forced to interact with disk 303 by means of adapted flexible elements, such as two springs 313 that are interposed respectively between shoulders 306a and 306b and a region of pawls 307a, 307b that is intermediate between the first end and the second end.
  • adapted flexible elements such as two springs 313 that are interposed respectively between shoulders 306a and 306b and a region of pawls 307a, 307b that is intermediate between the first end and the second end.
  • the user can vary the angular position of base 305 with respect to disk 303, keeping the shoe associated with the binding and simply shifting outwards tabs 318a and 318b of pawls 307a and 307b, so as to disengage teeth 311 from the set of teeth 316.
  • Figs. 13 and 14 illustrate a further embodiment of a binding 401 with angular adjustment that comprises a disk 403 and a base 405 that is rotatably associated therewith.
  • Two shoulders 406a and 406b protrude from the essentially rectangular base 405 along the longitudinal sides and on the opposite face with respect to the snowboard.
  • the device comprises engagement means that are associated with base 405 and are constituted by a pawl 407 which, proximate to a first end 408 located approximately at the median plane that lies longitudinally to the base 405, is pivoted to the base by means of an adapted pivot 409.
  • Pawl 407 has a substantially semicircular plan shape that is complementary to edge 414 of disk 403 that it faces.
  • a set of teeth 416 is also formed on edge 414 of disk 403 and selectively interacts with complementarily shaped teeth 411 that are formed on the facing surface of pawl 407.
  • the pawl has a second end 410 that is connected to a rod 420 that is arranged transversely to base 405 and protrudes from shoulder 406b through an adapted hole formed on the shoulder.
  • Pawl 407 can rotate at pivot 409 in contrast with a flexible element that is constituted by a spring 413 that is associated, at its ends, with shoulder 406b and with a pin 419 that protrudes from the second end 410 of pawl 407 on the opposite side with respect to disk 403.
  • the user can change the angle of the base with respect to the disk, although the shoe is associated with the binding, since it is sufficient to push the end of rod 420 that protrudes from shoulder 406b to disengage teeth 411 of pawl 407 from the set of teeth 416 of disk 403.
  • Spring 413 then forces the repositioning of teeth 411 on the set of teeth 416.
  • Fig. 15 shows the device of figs. 13 and 14, in which the second end 510 of pawl 507 is again connected to a rod 520 that is arranged transversely to shoulders 506a and 506b and protrudes outside shoulder 506b, where rod 520 is connected to a lever 521 provided with an eccentric element.
