The two plate parts are adjustable in relation to each other for setting the active width of the plate at right angles to a middle plane intersecting an upper and lower side of the plate. On one side (4) of the plate the two plate parts form at least one wing (6) resting against the snowboard.

Description

The invention relates to a plate or heightening plate for sliding boards, especially for snow sliding boards according to the preamble of claim 1.

Especially with snowboards, plates are increasingly used, which between the Snowboard top and the respective binding element are provided and the in particular to increase the assembly level for the respective binding element and thus serve to increase the stand so as to improve the driving characteristics.

It is also known to design such elevation plates for snowboards in several parts, namely consisting of two outer, half-ring-shaped plate parts Plastic and a central circular disk-shaped plate part, which also made of plastic and in the assembled state the two outer plate parts each overlaps on an inner edge, so that the outer plate parts in assembled state between the inner plate part and the top of the Snowboards are clamped. The respective binding element is then supported Contact surfaces on the outer plate parts, but only in one relative limited angular range over which the binding element is relative to the plate an axis is adjustable perpendicular to the top or bottom of the plate. Through the multi-part design of the plate is i.a. an adjustment of the width different snowboard widths possible.

• daß sie aus einer Vielzahl von losen Einzelteilen besteht, was die Montage erschwert,
• daß der Winkeleinstellbereich der Bindungselemente relativ zur Längserstreckung des Snowboards begrenzt ist, und
• daß auch die Kraftübertragung von der Bindung über die Platte auf das Snowboard und insbesondere auf den Bereich der Längskanten nicht optimal ist.

A disadvantage of the known plate is, among other things,

• that it consists of a large number of loose parts, which makes assembly difficult,
• that the angle adjustment range of the binding elements is limited relative to the longitudinal extent of the snowboard, and
• that the power transmission from the binding via the plate to the snowboard and in particular to the area of the longitudinal edges is not optimal.

The object of the invention is to show a riser plate which has the disadvantages of Avoids prior art and improved power transmission from the binding or the respective binding element on the sliding board (especially snow sliding board) guaranteed. To solve this problem is a plate according to the Claim 1 trained.

• Mit der erfindungsgemäßen Platte ist eine direktere Kraftübertragung von der Bindung auf das jeweilige Gleitbrett (z. B. Snowboard) erreicht, insbesondere auch in unmittelbarer Nähe der Längsseiten des Schneegleitbrettes.
• Bei der erfindungsgemäßen Ausbildung sind die Plattenteile miteinander verbunden und dennoch relativ zueinander bewegbar, so daß mehrere lose, erst beim Montieren miteinander zu verbindende lose Plattenteile vermieden sind und dadurch die Montage vereinfacht wird.
• Durch die erfindungsgemäße Ausbildung wird weiterhin auch eine optimale und symmetrische Krafteinleitung von der Bindung in das Schneegleitbrett erreicht.

The plate according to the invention has the following advantages, among others, over edge plates:

• With the plate according to the invention, a more direct power transmission from the binding to the respective gliding board (eg snowboard) is achieved, in particular also in the immediate vicinity of the long sides of the snow gliding board.
• In the embodiment according to the invention, the plate parts are connected to one another and yet can be moved relative to one another, so that a plurality of loose plate parts which are only to be connected to one another during assembly are avoided, and assembly is thereby simplified.
• The inventive design also ensures optimal and symmetrical introduction of force from the binding into the snow gliding board.

The plate is preferably on the side opposite the arms or wings formed with at least one tip. Through this training, there are also continuous, i.e. rectilinear or largely rectilinear, over the entire Avoid the width of the snowboard's trimmed edges that lead to breakage of the sliding board could lead. This training will also continue Avoid negative effects on the bending line of the sliding board or largely excluded.

In a preferred embodiment, the plate is in partial areas, in particular on the Ends of the boom or wing and elastic at least on the underside of the plate trained, which also optimal, uniform force transmission from the Plate reached in the gliding board and negative influences on the bending line of the Avoid sliding boards. For example, there are inserts on the underside of the plate or inserts made of elastomeric material, these inserts then also Have damping effect. The elastomer inlays can then be made in different Hardness (Shore hardness) can be used, classified according to different Weight classes of the respective user.

The plate 1 is essentially heart-shaped in plan view, i. H. it is on one end, i.e. in the illustration chosen for FIG. 1 at the lower end 3 tapering and at the top 4 with two incisions 5 between them forming, tapered arms or wings 6 executed.

The plate 1 is divided along a central plane M, i. H. it consists of the two Plate parts 1 'and 1 ". The central plane M extends between the two ends 3 and 4. Regarding this central plane M, which is also perpendicular to the plane of the Plate top 7 and plate underside 8 of plate 1 or plate parts 1 'and 1 ", is the plate 1 at least in plan view with regard to its outer shape symmetrical. Approximately in the middle of plate 1, the two plate parts are on their side adjacent to the central plane M each with one at the illustrated Embodiment provided part-circular recess, which forms a complete common middle opening 9.

In the area of the end 3, the two plate parts 1 'and 1 "are connected via a joint 10, its hinge axis in the central plane M and perpendicular to the planes of the top 7 and underside 8 is pivotally connected to one another, in particular such that the width of the plate 1 in the region of the end 4, i.e. the distance the two wings 6 there in the axial direction perpendicular to the center plane M from each other have, changed or optimally adapted to the width of the snowboard 2 can, so that the respective plate 1 with the wings 6 as close as possible to the respective Longitudinal side 2 'of the snowboard 2 is arranged. Between the end 4 or the there incision 5 and the opening 9, the two plate parts 1 'and 1 "are such into each other, that the pivoting of the plate parts 1 'and 1 "around the joint 10 is possible, but at least a certain positive connection between the plate parts 1 'and 1 "also exist between the opening 9 and the end 4.

In the illustrated embodiment, this sliding guide 11 is between the Plate parts 1 'and 1 "formed in that the plate part 1" at its the Middle plane M adjacent side with an arcuate shape Projection 12 is provided which engages in an adapted guide opening 13 which the side of the plate part 1 'adjacent to the central plane M is provided.

The plate 1 is mounted on the top of the snowboard 2 in such a way that the center plane M parallel or approximately parallel to the longitudinal extent of the snowboard 2 and the wings extend from the center of the snowboard 2, i.e. are each facing one end of the snowboard 2. About the hinge 10 takes place Width adjustment of the plate 1 in such a way that each wing 6 as close as possible to one Long side 2 'is enough.

The assembly of the binding (binding element) 14, of which in FIG simpler representation because of only one plate and a circular disc Holding plate or binding plate 15 are shown, takes place in the region of the opening 9. The binding 14 lies in the illustrated embodiment with its underside the top 7 of the plate 1 and is over the binding plate 15 and Fixing screws 16 pressed against the top 7 of the plate 1 or tense. The fastening screws 16, the openings in the binding plate 15 reach through and rest with their head against the binding plate 15, engage in Threaded pieces or inserts 17 that fit into a predetermined grid in the snowboard 2 are pre-assembled. To when fastening the fastening screw 16 and thus when Bracing the binding plate 14 between the plate 1 and the holding plate 15 Avoid pulling the inserts (17) out of the snowboard Fastening screws 16 each surrounded by a spacer sleeve 18, with their upper end against the holding plate 15 and with its lower end against the Snowboard 2 rests in the area of an insert 17. All fastening screws 16 and the associated spacer sleeves 18 are received in the opening 9. At loosened fastening screws 16 is an adjustment of the binding 14 to achieve different angular positions relative to the transverse axis of the snowboard possible, for example over an angular range of +/- 35 °.
