Abstract

The binding has a movable sole holder (6) which on reaching a clamping position still has a distance from its end position on the clamping side which corresponds to a predetermined snow clamping height. The sole holder can be tensioned with predeterminable force by spring suspension (16) in the direction of its end position. The sole holder can be locked against return to its release position by a locking member which needs to be consciously released and which can be brought or falls into its locking position when the clamping position is reached. The locking position of the locking member can be checked through a visible control.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Snowboardbindung mit mindestens einem schwenkbeweglichen Sohlenhalter, welcher beim Einstieg in die Bindung mit der Sohle des Schuhs aus einer selbsthaltenden Freigabelage in eine die Sohle festhaltende Einspannlage niedertretbar ist.The invention relates to a snowboard binding with at least a swiveling sole holder, which when entering in the bond with the sole of the shoe from a self-retaining Release position in a clamping position holding the sole is resignable.

Derartige Bindungen sind in Form von Skibindungen allgemein bekannt, vgl. z.B. die US-A 4 097 062.Such bindings are general in the form of ski bindings known, cf. e.g. U.S. 4,097,062.

Nach dieser Druckschrift kann am Sohlenhalter eine Rampe ausgebildet sein, die mit einer Rolle an einem Sperrhebel zusammenwirkt, welcher um eine bezüglich eines Bindungsgehäuses stationäre Achse schwenkbar und von einer Federung beaufschlagt ist, so daß die vorgenannte Rolle auf der Rampe eine Endlage einzunehmen sucht, in der der Sohlenhalter unter Selbsthemmung oder auslösbar in der Einspannlage gehalten wird. In der anderen Endlage der Rolle ist der Sohlenhalter in seiner Freigabelage verrastet, aus der er durch Niedertreten eines Trittspornes mit der Schuhsohle entrastet werden kann, so daß die Federung den Sperrhebel in seine der erstgenannten Endlage der Rolle zugeordnete Stellung schwenken kann. According to this document, a ramp can be attached to the sole holder be formed with a roller on a locking lever which interacts with respect to a binding housing stationary axis swiveling and by a suspension is acted on, so that the aforementioned role on the ramp seeks to take an end position in which the sole holder under Self-locking or releasable held in the clamping position becomes. The sole holder is in the other end position of the roller locked in its release position, from which it passes through Depressing a step with the sole of the shoe unlocked can be so that the suspension the locking lever in its the swivel the first-mentioned end position of the roller can.

Aus der US-A 4 973 073 ist eine Snowboardbindung bekannt, bei der ein federnd belasteter Sohlenhalter gegen die Kraft einer Feder zur Seite geschwenkt wird, wenn der Schuh bzw. seine Sohle in die Bindung eingesetzt werden. Bei dieser Schwenkbewegung führt die Schwenkachse des Sohlenhalters relativ zur Oberseite des Snowboards eine Aufwärtsbewegung aus, so daß der Sohlenhalter nachfolgend von der vorgenannten Feder in eine selbsthemmende Endlage geschwenkt werden kann, sobald die Schuhsohle eine auf einer Bodenplatte der Snowboardbindung flächig aufsitzende Lage erreicht hat. Damit wird der Schuh in der Bindung unauslösbar festgehalten, wie es beim Snowboardfahren erwünscht ist.A snowboard binding is known from US Pat. No. 4,973,073, in which a spring loaded sole holder against the force a spring is pivoted to the side when the shoe or his sole can be inserted into the binding. At this Pivoting movement guides the pivot axis of the sole holder relatively an upward movement to the top of the snowboard off, so that the sole holder subsequently from the aforementioned Spring can be pivoted into a self-locking end position can as soon as the sole of the shoe on a base plate of the Snowboard binding has reached a fully seated position. In order to the shoe is held in the binding so that it cannot be released, as is desirable when snowboarding.

Allerdings ist der Sohlenhalter in seiner Einspannlage in Vertikalrichtung relativ zum Snowboard gegen Federkraft begrenzt beweglich, so daß auch die Schuhsohle eine von den meisten Snowboardfahrern als unerwünscht angesehene vertikale Beweglichkeit hat.However, the sole holder is in its clamping position Vertical direction limited to the snowboard against spring force movable so that the sole of the shoe is one of the verticals considered undesirable by most snowboarders Has mobility.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es nun, eine Snowboardbindung zu schaffen, welche einerseits auch bei dickerer Schnee- bzw. Eisschicht an der Sohlenunterseite einen bequemen Einstieg in die Bindung ermöglicht und andererseits unter allen Umständen eine sichere bzw. feste Halterung des Schuhs gewährleistet. The object of the invention is to provide a snowboard binding create, which on the one hand even with thick snow or Ice layer on the underside of the sole provides easy entry enabled in the bond and on the other hand under all circumstances ensures that the shoe is held securely or firmly.

Diese Aufgabe wird bei einer Snowboardbindung der eingangs angegegebenen Art dadurch gelöst, daß ein separates willkürlich betätigbares Öffnungsorgan vorgesehen ist, welches am Sohlenhalter angelenkt ist, wobei der Sohlenhalter bei Erreichen einer Einspannlage von seiner einspannseitigen Endlage noch einen Abstand entsprechend einer vorgegebenen Schneespannhöhe aufweist, mit vorgebbarer Kraft mittels einer Federung in Richtung seiner vorgenannten Endlage spannbar ist und mittels eines willkürlich auslösbaren Sperrorgans, welches bei Erreichen der Einspannlage in seine Sperrlage fällt bzw. bringbar ist, gegen eine Rückkehr in die Freigabelage gesperrt wird bzw. sperrbar ist.This task is the beginning of a snowboard binding specified type solved in that a separate arbitrary Actuatable opening member is provided, which on Sole holder is articulated, the sole holder being reached a clamping position from its clamping-side end position still a distance according to a predetermined Has snow span, with a predetermined force by means of a Suspension can be tensioned in the direction of its aforementioned end position is and by means of an arbitrarily triggerable blocking member, which when it reaches the clamping position in its locked position falls or can be brought against a return to the Release position is blocked or can be blocked.

Die Erfindung beruht auf dem allgemeinen Gedanken, bereits in größeren Abstand von der einspannseitigen Endlage des beweglichen Sohlenhalters eine gegen Auslösung gesicherte Einspannung der Sohle zu gewährleisten, und zwar unabhängig von der Bemessung der den beweglichen Sohlenhalter in die vorgenannte Endlage spannenden Federkräfte, so daß einerseits eine große Schneespannhöhe gewährleistet werden kann und andererseits bei der Bemessung der vorgenannten Federkräfte die Möglichkeit besteht, eine mehr oder weniger große Elastizität des Sohlenhalters und/oder einen vergleichsweise geringen Betätigungswiderstand des Öffnungsorgans zu ermöglichen.The invention is based on the general idea already at a greater distance from the clamping end position of the movable Sole holder a clamping secured against triggering to ensure the sole, regardless of the dimensioning of the movable sole holder in the aforementioned End position exciting spring forces, so that on the one hand large snow span can be guaranteed and on the other hand when dimensioning the aforementioned spring forces Possibility of a more or less great elasticity of the sole holder and / or a comparatively small one To enable actuation resistance of the opening element.

Da die Bemessung der Federkräfte nicht im Zusammenhang mit der Vermeidung einer Auslösung der Bindung steht, können für die Federung ähnliche Konstruktionen und ähnliche Federn wie bei auslösbaren Skibindungen eingesetzt werden.Since the dimensioning of the spring forces is not related to avoiding a release of the bond, can for the suspension similar constructions and similar springs as can be used with releasable ski bindings.

Gemäß einer besonders bevorzugten Ausführungsform der Erfindung kann das Sperrorgan mit dem Öffnungsorgan zusammenwirken bzw. daran angeordnet sein. Dementsprechend läßt sich das Sperrorgan ohne weiteres so ausbilden, daß es sich zusammen mit dem Öffnungsorgan - gegebenenfalls mit einer Hand - betätigen läßt.According to a particularly preferred embodiment of the invention the blocking element can interact with the opening element or be arranged thereon. Accordingly, easily form the locking member so that it is together with the opening organ - if necessary with one hand - can be operated.

Des weiteren kann gemäß einer zweckmäßigen Ausführungsform vorgesehen sein, das Öffnungssorgan als Hebel auszubilden, welcher mit zur Oberseite des Snowboards od.dgl. etwa paralleler Schwenkachse an einem Schwenklager angeordnet ist, das in einer zur Oberseite parallelen und zur Schwenkachse quer verlaufenden Richtung beweglich ist, wobei außerdem vorgesehen ist, den Hebel an einem von der Schwenkachse entfernten Gelenk am Sohlenhalter anzulenken, den Sohlenhalter an einem stationären Lager mit vom genannten Gelenk entfernter Lagerachse anzuordnen, mittels der Federung das Schwenklager in einer Richtung zu spannen, derart, daß die Gelenkachse zumindest in Freigabelage des Sohlenhalters eine Übertotpunktlage einnimmt. Bei dieser Konstuktion läßt sich der Hebel ohne weiteres so ausbilden, daß er in Einspannlage des Sohlenhalters eine an die Oberseite des Snowboards angenäherte Lage einnimmt. Furthermore, according to an expedient embodiment be provided to design the opening member as a lever, which or the like with the top of the snowboard. about more parallel Pivot axis is arranged on a pivot bearing that in a parallel to the top and transverse to the swivel axis extending direction is movable, also provided the lever at a distance from the pivot axis Articulate joint on the sole holder, the sole holder on one stationary bearing with the bearing axis removed from the named joint to arrange, the pivot bearing by means of the suspension to tension in a direction such that the hinge axis an over-dead center position at least in the release position of the sole holder occupies. With this construction, the lever can be train easily so that it is in the clamping position of the Sole holder one approximated to the top of the snowboard Takes position.

Im übrigen wird hinsichtlich bevorzugter Merkmale der Erfindung auf die Ansprüche sowie die nachfolgende Erläuterung der Zeichnung verwiesen, anhand der besonders bevorzugte Ausführungsformen der Erfindung beschrieben werden.Otherwise, with regard to preferred features of the invention to the claims and the following explanation referred to the drawing, based on the particularly preferred Embodiments of the invention are described.

Der Schieber 14 wird mittels einer beispielsweise durch Schraubenfedern gebildeten Federung 16, die an einem Gehäuseteil auf der vom Sohlenhalter 6 abgewandten Seite des Schiebers 14 stationär abgestützt ist, in Richtung des Sohlenhalters 6 gespannt und in nicht näher dargestellten Führungsbahnen im Gehäuse 10 verschiebbar gehaltert.Within the housing 10, the sole holder 6 is on the Kick spur 8 and the projection 9 opposite side the bearing axis 11 via a joint with the bearing axis 11 parallel Hinge axis 12 connected to an opening lever 13, which in turn on a slide 14 by means of a to the hinge axis 12 parallel pivot axis 15 pivotally mounted is. The slider 14 is by means of, for example Suspension 16 formed by coil springs, which on a Housing part on the side facing away from the sole holder 6 Slider 14 is supported stationary, in the direction of the sole holder 6 tensioned and in guideways not shown in the housing 10 slidably supported.

Die in Fig. 3 dargestellte Öffnungslage des Sohlenhalters 6 ist als selbsthaltende Übertotpunktlage ausgebildet, in der die Gelenkachse 12 vertikal unterhalb einer die Achsen der Lagerachse 11 sowie der Schwenkachse 15 enthaltenden Ebene liegt und durch die Kraft der Federung 16 in Abwärtsrichtung gespannt wird und den Sohlenhalter 6 mit einer Nase unterhalb der Gelenkachse 12 gegen eine Gehäuseunterseite drängt.The opening position of the sole holder 6 shown in FIG. 3 is designed as a self-supporting dead center position in which the hinge axis 12 vertically below one of the axes of the Bearing axis 11 and the pivot axis 15 containing plane lies and by the force of the suspension 16 in the downward direction is tensioned and the sole holder 6 with a nose below the hinge axis 12 urges against an underside of the housing.

Beim Einstieg in die Bindung wird die Sohle 7 mit ihrem einen Längsrand gemäß Fig. 3 unter den dafür vorgesehenen Vorsprung am stationären Sohlenhalter 5 geschoben und am anderen Längsrand auf den Trittsporn 8 des Sohlenhalters 6 aufgesetzt. Wenn nunmehr die Sohle 7 mit dem Schuh niedergetreten wird, wird der Sohlenhalter 6 in Richtung der aus Fig. 2 ersichtlichen Einspannlage geschwenkt, wobei die Federung 16 den Sohlenhalter 6 in Richtung dieser Einspannlage spannt, sobald die Gelenkachse 12 eine Lage oberhalb der die Achsen von Lagerachse 11 und Schwenkachse 15 enthaltenden Ebene erreicht. Dementsprechend kann die Sohle 7 auch dann spielfrei festgehalten werden, wenn auf der Unterseite der Sohle 7 eine Schnee- oder Eisschicht begrenzter Dicke anhaftet. When entering the binding, the sole 7 becomes one 3 under the projection provided for this purpose pushed on the stationary sole holder 5 and on the other Longitudinal edge placed on the step spur 8 of the sole holder 6. If now the sole 7 is trodden down with the shoe becomes, the sole holder 6 in the direction of that of FIG. 2nd apparent clamping position pivoted, the suspension 16th clamps the sole holder 6 in the direction of this clamping position, once the hinge axis 12 is a position above that of the axes reached by bearing axis 11 and pivot axis 15 level. Accordingly, the sole 7 can also be free of play are held when a on the bottom of the sole 7 Snow or ice layer of limited thickness adheres.

Die einspannseitige Endlage des Sohlenhalters 6 ist selbsthemmend ausgebildet, wobei eine die Achsen von Lagerachse 11 und Gelenkachse 12 enthaltende Ebene und eine die Achsen von Gelenkachse 12 und Schwenkachse 15 enthaltene Ebene in der genannten Endlage einen nach abwärts V-förmig geöffneten Winkel bilden, der kleiner als ein rechter Winkel ist. Zwischen der Sohle 7 und dem Sohlenhalter 6 in Richtung der Öffnungslage des Sohlenhalters 6 wirkende Kräfte können in der Lage des Sohlenhalters 6 gemäß Fig. 2 praktisch keinerlei Reaktionskräfte bewirken, die den Schieber 14 gegen die Kraft der Federung 16 in Fig. 2 nach rechts schieben könnten.The end position of the sole holder 6 on the clamping side is formed self-locking, one of the axes of the bearing axis 11 and joint axis 12 containing plane and a the axes of the hinge axis 12 and pivot axis 15 included Level in the mentioned end position one downwards V-shaped form an open angle that is smaller than a right angle is. Between the sole 7 and the sole holder 6 in the direction the opening position of the sole holder 6 can act forces in the position of the sole holder 6 according to FIG. 2 practically none Reactive forces cause the slide 14 against push the force of the suspension 16 to the right in FIG. 2 could.

Um auch dann eine nicht auslösbare Halterung der Sohle 7 zu gewährleisten bzw. anzuzeigen, wenn der Sohlenhalter 6 noch nicht die Endlage der Fig. 2 erreicht hat, ist am freien Ende des Öffnungshebels 13 ein Schwenkhaken 17 angeordnet, welcher an einem am Öffnungshebel 13 angeordneten Stab 18 mit zur Schwenkachse 15 des Öffnungshebels 13 paralleler Längsachse drehgelagert und mittels einer Feder relativ zum Öffnungshebel 13 im Uhrzeigersinn in eine Endlage gespannt wird. Dazu kann der Stab 18 als Drehstab ausgebildet sein.In order to secure a non-releasable mounting of the sole 7 ensure or indicate when the sole holder 6 still has not reached the end position of FIG. 2 is at the free end of the opening lever 13, a swivel hook 17 is arranged, which on a rod 18 arranged on the opening lever 13 with parallel to the pivot axis 15 of the opening lever 13 Longitudinal axis rotatably and by means of a spring relative to Opening lever 13 stretched clockwise to an end position becomes. For this purpose, the rod 18 can be designed as a torsion bar.

Wenn der Öffnungshebel 13 aus der Lage der Fig. 3 beim Niedertreten der Sohle 7 im Uhrzeigersinne schwenkt, hintergreift der Schwenkhaken 17 federnd einen am Gehäuse 10 fest angeordneten Zapfen 19, so daß der Sohlenhalter 6 sowie der Öffnungshebel 13, die nunmehr beide eine der Lage der Fig. 2 angenäherte Lage erreicht haben müssen, an einer Rückkehr in die Lage der Fig. 3 gehindert werden. Vielmehr ist eine solche Rückkehr nur möglich, wenn der Schwenkhaken 17 manuell (gegebenenfalls auch mittels eines Skistockes od.dgl.) relativ zum Öffnungshebel 13 entgegen dem Uhrzeigersinn verschwenkt wird.When the opening lever 13 from the position of FIG. 3 when stepping down the sole 7 swivels clockwise, engages behind the swivel hook 17 resiliently attached to the housing 10 arranged pin 19 so that the sole holder 6 and the Opening lever 13, both of which are now in the position shown in FIG. 2 approximate location must have reached a return in the location of Fig. 3 are prevented. Rather, it is one Return only possible if the swivel hook 17 manually (If necessary also by means of a ski pole or the like.) Relatively pivoted counterclockwise to the opening lever 13 becomes.

Da durch Sichtkontrolle in einfachster Weise überprüft werden kann, ob der Schwenkhaken 17 den Zapfen 19 hintergreift, läßt sich auch dann, wenn mit anhaftender Schnee- oder Eisschicht auf der Unterseite der Sohle 7 in die Bindung eingestiegen wird und der Sohlenhalter 6 zunächst nicht in seine einspannseitige Endlage niedergetreten werden kann, ohne weiteres überprüfen, ob bereits eine gegen ungewollte Auslösung gesicherte Einspannlage erreicht worden ist. Dies gilt unabhängig von der Bemessung der Spannung der Federung 16 sowie davon, ob der Sohlenhalter 6 beim Einsteig in die Bindung in eine Übertotpunktlage bezüglich der Federung 16 niedertretbar ist oder nicht.Because they can be checked by visual inspection in the simplest way can whether the swivel hook 17 engages behind the pin 19, can also be used when there is an adherent layer of snow or ice got into the binding on the underside of the sole 7 is and the sole holder 6 initially not in his clamping-side end position can be depressed without further check whether there is already one against unwanted triggering secured clamping position has been reached. this applies regardless of the dimensioning of the tension of the suspension 16 and whether the sole holder 6 when entering the binding depressible in an over-center position with respect to the suspension 16 is or not.

Die Ausführungform der Fig. 4 bis 6 unterscheidet sich von der Ausführungsform der Fig. 2 und 3 zunächst darin, daß die Schwenkachse 15 des Öffnungshebels 13 an einem Kipphebel 20 angeordnet ist, der um eine zur Schwenkachse 15 parallele, stationäre Kippachse 21 am Gehäuse 10 kippbar gelagert ist. 4 to 6 differs from the embodiment of FIGS. 2 and 3 first in that the Pivot axis 15 of the opening lever 13 on a rocker arm 20 is arranged, which is about a parallel to the pivot axis 15, stationary tilt axis 21 is tiltably mounted on the housing 10.

Die Federung 16 ist gegen ein an der Schwenkachse 15 angeordnetes bewegliches Widerlager 22 gespannt, so daß sie die Schwenkachse 15 in prinzipiell gleicher Weise wie bei der Ausführungsform der Fig. 2 und 3 in Richtung des Sohlenhalters 6 zu schieben sucht. Damit ergeben sich weitestgehend gleiche kinematische Verhältnisse wie bei der Ausführungsform der Fig. 2 und 3.The suspension 16 is arranged against one on the pivot axis 15 movable abutment 22 excited so that it Pivot axis 15 in basically the same way as in the Embodiment of FIGS. 2 and 3 in the direction of the sole holder 6 tries to push. This largely results same kinematic conditions as in the embodiment 2 and 3.

Die Anordnung der Fig. 4 bis 6 ist insofern vorteilhaft, als die Halterung des Öffnungshebels 13 am Kipphebel 20 auch bei eventuellen Verschmutzungen leichtgängig bleibt, während bei einer Anordnung gemäß den Fig. 2 und 3 vergleichsweise wenige Teile montiert werden müssen.The arrangement of FIGS. 4 to 6 is advantageous in that the bracket of the opening lever 13 on the rocker arm 20 also possible contamination remains smooth, while at an arrangement according to FIGS. 2 and 3 comparatively few Parts need to be assembled.

Bei der Ausführungsform der Fig. 4 bis 6 bildet der Schwenkhaken 17 ein schwenkbares Griffstück, welches mit hakenförmigen Vorsprüngen 23 federnd in gehäuseseitige Aussparungen 24 eingreift, sobald der Sohlenhalter 6 sowie der Öffnungshebel 13 aus der Lage der Fig. 5 in die Lage der Fig. 6 geschwenkt worden sind. Damit wird eine Rückkehr in die Lage der Fig. 5 erst dann wieder möglich, wenn das Griffstück am Schwenkhaken 17 willentlich bzw. manuell gegen die Kraft der Schenkelfeder 25 relativ zum Öffnungshebel 13 entgegen dem Uhrzeigersinn geschwenkt wird. In the embodiment of FIGS. 4 to 6, the swivel hook forms 17 a pivotable handle, which with hook-shaped Projections 23 resiliently in recesses on the housing side 24 engages as soon as the sole holder 6 and the opening lever 13 pivoted from the position of FIG. 5 into the position of FIG. 6 have been. This will enable a return 5 only possible again when the handle on Swivel hook 17 willingly or manually against the force of Leg spring 25 relative to the opening lever 13 against the Is pivoted clockwise.

Bei der Ausführungsform der Fig. 7 und 8 ist der bewegliche Sohlenhalter 6 wiederum um seine Lagerachse 11 schwenkbar am nicht näher dargestellten Snowboard angeordnet und wiederum nach Art eines doppelarmigen Hebels ausgebildet, wobei der eine Hebelarm den Trittsporn 8 sowie den Vorsprung 9 aufweist und der andere Hebelarm in Verlängerung dieses Vorsprunges 9 eine Bohrung 36 mit seitlichen Axialschlitzen 37 besitzt. Innerhalb der Bohrung 36 ist eine Schraubendruckfeder 38 od.dgl. angeordnet, die eine in den Axialschlitzen 37 seitwärts verschiebbare Achse 39 in Fig. 7 nach links drängt.7 and 8 is the movable one Sole holder 6 in turn can be pivoted about its bearing axis 11 Snowboard not shown arranged and again designed in the manner of a double-armed lever, the a lever arm has the step spur 8 and the projection 9 and the other lever arm in extension of this projection 9 a bore 36 with lateral axial slots 37 owns. Within the bore 36 is a helical compression spring 38 or the like arranged, one in the axial slots 37 laterally displaceable axis 39 in Fig. 7 to the left urges.

Die Achse 39 ist beidseitig des Sohlenhalters 6 an Armen 40 gehaltert, die als Teile eines Winkelhebels 41 ausgebildet sind, welcher an stationären Lagerböcken 42 auf den vom Sohlenhalter 6 abgewandten Seiten der Arme 40 schwenkbar gelagert ist. Dazu kann der Winkelhebel 41 mit an ihm angeordneten Lagerzapfen 43 in entsprechende Lageraugen der Lagerbökke 42 eingesetzt sein.The axis 39 is on both sides of the sole holder 6 on arms 40 supported, which are formed as parts of an angle lever 41 are, which on stationary pedestals 42 on the sole holder 6 opposite sides of the arms 40 pivotally mounted is. For this purpose, the angle lever 41 can also be arranged on it Journal 43 in corresponding bearing eyes of the bracket 42 be used.

An seinem von den Armen 40 entfernten freien Ende trägt der Winkelhebel 41 den Schwenkhaken 17, welcher am Winkelhebel 41 mittels des Stabes 18 drehbar angeordnet ist, wobei eine nicht näher dargestellte Federung den Schwenkhaken 17 in Fig. 10 entgegen dem Uhrzeigersinn in die dort dargestellte Endlage relativ zum Winkelhebel 41 spannt. Gegebenenfalls kann dazu der Stab 18 wiederum als Drehstab ausgebildet sein.At its free end, which is distant from the arms 40, the Angle lever 41 the swivel hook 17, which on the angle lever 41 is rotatably arranged by means of the rod 18, one Suspension, not shown, the swivel hook 17 in Fig. 10 counterclockwise into that shown there End position spans relative to the angle lever 41. Possibly For this purpose the rod 18 can in turn be designed as a torsion bar be.

Der Schwenkhaken 17 wirkt mit einem am Snowboard angeordneten stationären Haken 44 zusammen, den der Schwenkhaken 17 hintergreift, sobald der Winkelhebel 41 eine an die in Fig. 7 dargestellte Endlage angenäherte Lage erreicht.The swivel hook 17 acts with one arranged on the snowboard stationary hook 44 together, the swivel hook 17th engages behind as soon as the angle lever 41 is connected to the one shown in FIG. 7 end position shown reached approximate position.

Wenn der Winkelhebel 41 aus der in Fig. 7 dargestellten Lage im Uhrzeigersinn manuell geschwenkt werden soll, muß der Schwenkhaken 17 relativ zum Winkelhebel 41 ebenfalls manuell geschwenkt werden, um den Schwenkhaken 17 außer Eingriff mit dem stationären Haken 44 zu bringen. Durch die Schwenkung des Winkelhebels 41 im Uhrzeigersinn wird der Sohlenhalter 6 in seine Freigabelage hochgeschwenkt, die bezüglich der Feder 38 eine Übertotpunktlage bildet, indem die Achse 39 in der entgegen dem Uhrzeigersinn verschwenkten Endlage des Sohlenhalters 6 eine Position unterhalb einer Ebene erreicht, die die Achsen der Lagerachse 11 und der Lagerzapfen 43 enthält.When the angle lever 41 from the position shown in Fig. 7 to be pivoted manually clockwise, the Swivel hook 17 relative to the angle lever 41 also manually be pivoted to disengage from the pivot hook 17 to bring the stationary hook 44. By pivoting of the angle lever 41 in the clockwise direction becomes the sole holder 6 swiveled up into its release position, that of the spring 38 forms an over-center position by the axis 39 in the counter position pivoted counterclockwise Sole holder 6 reaches a position below a level, the axes of the bearing axis 11 and the bearing journal 43 contains.

Beim Einstieg in die Bindung wird dann mit der Schuhsohle der Trittsporn 8 niedergetreten, so daß der Sohlenhalter 6 in die Einspannlage der Fig. 7 schwenkt. Dabei wird der Winkelhebel 41 vor Erreichen seiner auf dem Snowboard aufliegenden Endlage, die eine Übertotpunktlage bilden kann, durch Zusammenwirken des Schwenkhakens 17 mit dem stationären Haken 44 gegen Rückkehr in seine der Freigabelage des Sohlenhalters 6 zugeordnete Stellung verriegelt.When entering the binding, the sole of the shoe is used the step spur 8 depressed so that the sole holder 6 7 pivots in the clamping position. The angle lever 41 before reaching his lying on the snowboard End position, which can form an overdead position, by Interaction of the swivel hook 17 with the stationary hook 44 against return to the release position of the sole holder 6 assigned position locked.

Alle dargestellten Ausführungsformen sind derart ausgebildet, daß in Einspannlage des beweglichen Sohlenhalters 6 seitlich der Sohle 7 bzw. des Schuhs nur flache Bindungsteile vorhanden sind, welche darüber hinaus so ausgebildet bzw. angeordnet sind, daß sie bei Kraftbeaufschlagung in Abwärtsrichtung den Sohlenhalter 6 nicht in dessen Freigabelage bringen können. Dies ist insbesondere dann von Wichtigkeit, wenn ein Snowboardfahrer bei der Fahrt in einem Schlepplift lediglich mit einem Fuß in der zugehörigen Bindung eingespannt ist, während der andere Fuß für den Einstieg in den Lift bzw. den Ausstieg aus dem Lift frei bleibt und damit - unwillentlich - von oben auf ein Bindungsteil der Bindung des eingespannten Fußes aufgesetzt werden könnte.All of the illustrated embodiments are designed such that in the clamping position of the movable sole holder 6 only flat binding parts to the side of the sole 7 or the shoe are available, which are also designed or are arranged so that when force is applied in the downward direction the sole holder 6 is not in its release position can bring. This is particularly important when a snowboarder is riding a drag lift only clamped with one foot in the associated binding is while the other foot for entry into the Lift or the exit from the lift remains free and thus - involuntarily - from above on a binding part of the binding of the clamped foot could be put on.

Anstelle des Elementes 17 können prinzipiell beliebige entsperrbare Sperrelemente vorgesehen sein, die nach Erreichen einer Einspannlage des Sohlenhalters 6 dessen ungewollte Rückkehr in die Freigabelage verhindern bzw. nur eine Bewegung des Sohlenhalters 6 in Richtung seiner einspannseitigen Endlage zulassen.Instead of element 17, any one can in principle unlockable locking elements can be provided after reaching a clamping position of the sole holder 6 the unwanted Prevent return to the release position or only one movement of the sole holder 6 in the direction of its clamping side Allow end position.
