Definitions

  • the invention relates to a snowboard binding according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • a bond is known from EP 0 351 298 A2.
  • This binding has a base part which can be fastened by means of screws to the surface of a snowboard.
  • the base part has a recess in the form of a slot through which protrudes a pin which protrudes from a clamping plate which is arranged between the underside of the base part and the upper side of the snowboard and which is displaceable in the direction of said elongated hole.
  • On the base part of a base plate of the binding can be placed, wherein the base plate has a recess through which protrudes said pin.
  • the usual fasteners for mounting a shoe are attached to the base plate.
  • a hold-down plate which has a central recess through which a screw is inserted and screwed into a thread of said pin of the clamping plate.
  • EP 0 840 640 B1 shows a similar binding, but in which the base plate with slot is embedded in the body of the snowboard and has a box-shaped profile with a longitudinal slot.
  • a similar binding is also shown in DE 295 01 515 U1, in which also a guide profile is embedded in the body of the snowboard. Instead of a hold-down plate there is only provided a central screw which engages through a corresponding bore of the base plate. Such a bond is also shown in FR 25 75 660 A1.
  • FR 26 27 097 A1 and WO 98/08480 A1 show snowboard bindings, where only the rotational position of the base plate without tools is changeable.
  • FR 26 27 097 A1 linearly displaceable racks are mounted on a rotary plate, which engage in a counter-toothing. The racks are moved by means of a lever, whereby the toothing can be opened or closed.
  • WO 98/08480 A1 the base plate is attached to a rotary plate, wherein on the rotary plate a displaceable perpendicular to the snowboard surface locking pin is mounted, which can be latched into holes of a counter-plate.
  • bindings have the essential purpose of making the respective adjustments easy, so that these bindings are particularly suitable for snowboard rental, where the binding must be frequently adjusted to other drivers. Also, such bindings are suitable for people who want to find out their optimal position of the binding experimentally and quickly want to try a different binding position or alignment even on the slopes without tools.
  • the object of the invention is therefore to improve the aforementioned snowboard binding to the effect that it has three degrees of freedom of adjustment, each set position is securely maintained and the adjustment is easily possible.
  • the basic idea of the invention is to provide a recess in the base part which is so large that an adjustment along two axes of a Cartesian coordinate system in the plane of the snowboard surface is permitted, wherein the fixing of the position is effected by positive interlocking.
  • the directions of movement in the longitudinal direction of the snowboard (x-direction) and transversely thereto (y-direction) are decoupled from each other.
  • a straight toothing is provided between the top of the clamping plate and the underside of the base plate and between top of the base plate and underside of the hold-down plate also a positive connection, which allows only one movement in one direction, which is transverse to the direction of movement of the former teeth.
  • a toothing is provided only between the bottom of the base plate and the top of the clamping plate.
  • the teeth have a pyramidal shape and the counter teeth corresponding recesses.
  • the clamping plate preferably has in plan view the Shape of a cross with four legs or a star with three legs, which with a given size of the base plate of the adjustment can be increased, since the legs can still reach between mounting posts of the base plate.
  • FIG. 1 The binding is attached to the surface of a snowboard S.
  • This has a base plate 1, to which the usual holding elements for the attachment of a shoe are attached (not shown).
  • These are, for example, non-illustrated instep straps, heel restraints, headband soles for boot soles or other known holding devices, of which there are a variety of different embodiments in the prior art and in the market.
  • the binding according to the invention further comprises a base plate 3, a clamping element 4 with a vertically projecting pin 5 and a clamping lever 6, which is pivotally mounted with a pivot axis 7 on the pin 5.
  • the base plate 3 is attached to the surface of the snowboard S via a plurality of posts 8, each having a bore 9. This is usually done by means not shown screws that engage in nuts, which are embedded as so-called. Inserts in the body of the snowboard S. In most snowboards on the market today, these nuts are arranged in the pattern of a square with a side length of 4 cm, so that the holes 9 are arranged in a corresponding manner. Of course, it is possible to arrange the posts and the holes accordingly also for other patterns of inserts, for example in the form of an equilateral triangle.
  • the base plate 3 may be rectangular in plan view (see Fig. 2) or circular (Fig. 3 and 4). Through the post 8, it is kept at a distance from the surface of the snowboard S.
  • the base plate 3 has a central recess 10, which is preferably rectangular and the dimensions of which fixes the adjustment range in the x and y directions (see Fig. 2).
  • a clamping element 4 is arranged, from which a central pin 5 projects vertically upwards in the z-direction and engages through the recess 10 of the base plate 3. Furthermore, this pin 5 also engages through an opening 11 of the hold-down plate 2, so that it is coupled to the clamping element 4 via the pin 5.
  • the cross section of the pin 5 and the opening 11 are preferably rectangular or square, so that the clamping element 4 and the hold-down plate 2 are positively coupled in the direction of rotation c.
  • the pin 5 has a transverse bore 12 through which the clamping lever 6 can be fastened by means of a pivot axis designed as a pin.
  • This pin 7 is supported by a corresponding bore 12 'on the clamping lever 6, wherein the clamping lever has an opposite to the axis of the pin 7 eccentric clamping surface 13 which is supported on the upper side of the hold-down plate 2.
  • a toothing 14, 15 is provided between the top of the clamping element 4 and the underside of the base plate 3, wherein the teeth extend here in the y-direction. This ensures that upon engagement of the teeth 14 and 15, the clamping element can still be moved in the y-direction relative to the fixed base plate 3.
  • a plurality of protruding pins 16, 17, 18 and 19 are arranged, which engage in associated slot-like recesses 20, 21, 22 and 23 at the bottom of the hold-down plate 4, wherein these recesses 20-23 formed as blind hole-like recesses are that do not pass completely through the thickness of the hold-down plate 2.
  • These recesses 20-23 serve as guides for the pins 16 to 19 and allow a relative displacement of the hold-down plate 2 relative to the base plate 3 in the x direction.
  • the recesses 20-23 are each present multiple times, so that the pins can be selectively inserted into one of the recesses of a group, which results in a further stage adjustment in the y-direction.
  • the base plate 1 has a circular opening 24, at the edge of a toothing 25 is mounted.
  • the hold-down plate 2 has a perpendicular to the surface of the snowboard S projecting collar 26 which engages in the recess 24. Next, it has a counter-toothing 27 which engages in the toothing 25 of the base plate 1 and adjacent to the counter-toothing 27 is still a projecting edge 28 which engages over the top of the base plate 1.
  • the length of the collar 26 is chosen so that the front side of the collar even at a fixed bond still has a distance from the surface of the snowboard S. If the clamping lever 6 in the release position, the hold-down plate 2 can be easily raised, so that the teeth 25 and 27 are free from each other.
  • the base plate 1 can then be rotated about the z-axis in the direction of arrow c of FIG.
  • the teeth 25, 27 are selected so that the teeth are shorter than those of the teeth 14, 15 and the pins 16 to 19 in conjunction with the recesses 20-23. This ensures that in a first release position of the pivot lever 6, the hold-down plate 2 can be lifted so far from the base plate 1, that the base plate 1 can rotate about the z-axis, while still engaging between the gears 14, 15 and of the positive connection 16-19 with 20-23 and thus there is no shift in the x or y direction.
  • the rotational adjustment of the base plate is decoupled from the other two setting options in the x and y directions.
  • hold-down plate 2 in the region of the clamping lever 6 has a recess 29, so that the clamping lever 6 can be arranged at least partially recessed.
  • the clamping element 4 (Fig. 3a to 3c), the base plate 3 (Fig. 3d to 3f) and the hold-down plate 2 (Fig. 3g to 3i) respectively in three views, namely from the bottom, in cross-section and shown from the top. From FIGS. 3a and 3c it can be seen that the clamping element 4 in the exemplary embodiment shown has four arms 30, 31, 32 and 33, which are perpendicular to one another and carry the teeth 14 on their upper side.
  • the length of the arms 30-33 is matched to the size of the recess 10 of the base plate 3 so that in all possible limit positions in which the pin 5 rests against the wall of the recess 10, all four arms 30-33 on the recess 10th protrude the base plate, so that the arms are always covered by the base plate and thus held.
  • the teeth 14 extends in a uniform direction over the arms 30 to 33.
  • the teeth 14 thus parallel to the longitudinal direction of the arms 30 and 32 and perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the arms 31 and 33rd
  • Fig. 3f the clamping element 4 is shown in dashed lines in an extreme position. It can be seen from this that the arms in each case engage between adjacent base 8, so as to obtain the greatest possible displacement for the clamping element 4.
  • the clamping element 4 has four arms.
  • the number of arms should be adjusted accordingly. For example, if three sockets are used, which are located at the tips of an equilateral triangle, so the clamping element 4 has only three arms, which are then at an angle of 120 ° to each other.
  • the toothing 14 is to be distributed in a uniform direction over the arms.
  • Fig. 3f From Fig. 3f is further seen that the projecting from the top of the base plate 3 pins 16 to 19 in the plan view of Fig. 3f are arranged offset from the sockets 8 by 45 °. It can also be seen from FIGS. 3d and 3f that the base plate 3 can also be circular in plan view, in contrast to the embodiment of FIG. 2, where the base plate 3 is square. If it is desirable to make the displacement in one direction (x or y) greater than in the other direction, then the base plate 3 and the recess 10 may also be rectangular, in which case the side length is greater in one direction than in the other direction ,
  • the hold-down plate 2 has on its underside a total of four groups of three slot-like recesses, each lying parallel to each other. This is illustrated for the recesses 21 by the three reference numerals 21a, 21b and 21c.
  • the pin 17 engages in one of these three recesses, wherein the remaining pins 16, 18 and 19 engage in the corresponding recesses 20, 22 and 23.
  • the outer diameter of the base plate 3 is smaller than the inner diameter of the projecting collar 26 of the hold-down plate 2, so that the base plate 3 in all possible positions is still within this federal 26.
  • Fig. 4 shows similar to Fig. 2 is an exploded view of the essential parts of the snowboard binding, but also without the base plate.
  • the embodiment of FIG. 4 differs from that of FIG. 2 by the type of toothing.
  • a toothing 14 ' is mounted with regularly arranged pyramidal teeth.
  • the teeth are arranged in the x and y directions at regular intervals.
  • corresponding recesses are provided, in which the teeth of the toothing 14 'engage.
  • a toothing 34 is attached to the top of the base plate 3 with pyramidal teeth, which are also regularly aligned and spaced in the x and y directions.
  • the underside of the hold-down plate 2 then also has pyramid-shaped recesses corresponding to the teeth 34.
  • gears 14 or 34 can be omitted, since the hold-down plate 2 and the clamping plate 4 are rigidly coupled via the pin 5 and the opening 11 in the x and y directions.
  • the gearing 14 'on the clamping plate 4 is omitted, so that their arms have a smooth, flat surface and the underside of the base plate 3 is also smooth and flat.
  • the embodiment of FIG. 4 corresponds to that of FIG. 2.
