By way of introduction, it should be noted that in the differently described embodiments, the same parts are provided with the same reference numerals or the same component names, wherein the disclosures contained in the entire description can be mutatis mutandis to the same parts with the same reference numerals or component names. Also, the location information chosen in the description, such as top, bottom, side, etc. related to the immediately described and illustrated figure and are to be transferred to the new situation mutatis mutandis when a change in position. Furthermore, individual features or combinations of features from the different exemplary embodiments shown and described can also represent independent, inventive or inventive solutions.

The invention relates to a device 1 shown in FIGS. 1 to 4 for connecting a sports shoe 2 with a sports device 3. Preferably, the device 1 is used to connect a sports shoe 2 with a formed by a snowboard or a ski sports equipment 3. Such devices 1 have Usually device parts 4, which may be formed by a brake assembly 5, a heel block 6, a toe 7, a binding plate 8 or the like.

Of course, this may also be highbacks, baseplates, straps or other parts of such a device 1 for connecting a sports shoe 2 with a sports equipment 3 such as a ski, cross-country, Turen- or snowboard binding. At least one of these device parts 4 is a shut-off device 9 assigned. This shut-off device 9 or its closing device 10 is in the present embodiment in an am Sports equipment 3 salaried, pivoting brake pedal 12 installed.

The shut-off device 9 is formed by a, via a key 13 and the like. Actuated locking device 10, the locking bolt 14 by means of the locking device 10, for example by means of a key 13 and the like. Actuated, rotating locking pin 45 from a rest position shown in dotted lines 15th in the blocking position 16 shown in solid lines is adjustable.

As is readily apparent from the drawing, the brake pedal 12, so the movable actuator 46 of the brake device 5, from the rest position shown in dashed lines in Fig. 1 and 2, in which the brake pedal 12 from a top 47, for example Binding plate 8 and the sports equipment 3, is lifted and the locking bar 14 is in a blocking position 16, not be moved down into the driving position 21 in the direction of the sports equipment 3. As a result, it is not possible for the brake arms 17 to pivot out of the illustrated braking position 18 - in full lines in FIG. 3 - into the driving position 21 shown in dashed lines - as shown in FIG. This is prevented by the locking bar 14 in its locking position 16 shown in FIGS. 3 and 4.

This now ensures that the sports equipment 3, such as board, snowboard or ski, can no longer be used and therefore a removal is only possible manually. This excited in ski areas but a high level of attention or can be easily monitored by the elevator staff or appropriate control bodies and is achieved by this measure a high security against theft.

Usually, such a shut-off device 9, with the locking bar 14 is detected and locked in its blocking position 16, to prevent theft of the sports equipment 3.

Of course, it is also possible to arrange similar or other shut-off devices 9 on other parts of the device 4 in addition to or instead of the arrangement in the braking device 5.

As can be seen in detail from FIG. 4, the closing device 10 is installed in the brake pedal 12. For this purpose, the lock part 22 is inserted into a recess 32, for example screwed into an internal thread of the brake pedal 12. Lockable via the key 13 lock part 22 has a locking element 23 which is pivotable in the present embodiment about a rotatable axis 33, is fixed to the over the lock part 22 projecting end portion 24 of the locking bolt 14 immovably.

Of course, it is also possible for the locking device 10 to use commercially available lock cylinder and install it in recesses 32 of the brake device 5 or other device parts 4. The locking cylinder can in this case be used simultaneously as a locking bolt 14 but it is also possible that this locking cam is assigned a separately actuated locking bolt 14.

Of course, it is also possible other commercially available closing devices that can be fixed by gluing, screws, press-fit or the like. In the device parts 4 or the braking device 5 to use.

But it is also possible to use commercial padlocks, for example, with Nummemcode that allow the use of the device 1 by inserting in different positions of the locking bar 14 or can be used for fixing device parts 4 in the blocking position 16.

For this purpose, the adjustable device part is locked, for example, with a padlock in the blocking position 16.

As further indicated schematically, the closing device 10 or the lock part 22 is associated with a heating device formed by a heating element 25, in particular a heating element 25, which is inserted for example in a bore 41 of the brake pedal 12 and an energy storage element 26, if necessary by screwing a retaining screw 27, or pressing a Duckknopfes activatable.

About this heating element 25, the locking device 10 can be heated briefly to allow release of the brake pedal 12 even at extremely low outdoor temperatures by thawing and / or to prevent icing of the locking device 10.

Preferably, it is also possible to arrange the heating element 25 so that any icing between the locking bar 14 and the base part 11 can be eliminated.

Of course, it is also advantageous if, in particular, the locking bar 14 is made of a material with low adhesive strength for ice, for example Teflon. This also applies to the locking bar 14 facing surface portions of the base member 11. As can also be seen from FIG. 4, this base part 11 is displaceable in the longitudinal direction in a C-shaped guideway 28 fastened to the sports equipment 3 and guided in the height and side, and is optionally a connecting element 29 for holding the front and / or heel piece 6, 7 provided.

The fact that the locking bar 14 can be adjusted with the locking device 10 from the in-line position shown in Fig. 2 in the rest position 15 shown in Figure 4 in solid lines blocking position 16, the movement of the brake pedal 12 in the direction of the Base part 11 - as required for the proper use of the sports equipment 3 - prevented. This is excluded by the blocking of the movement of the brake pedal 12 an illegal use of the sports equipment 3.

Due to the fact that the locking bar 14 projects into the externally accessible clearance 53 between the brake pedal 12 and the base part 11 of the braking device 5, there is also the possibility, if there is icing or sticking of the locking bolt 14 on the base part 11 due to icing comes to solve them easily by mechanical action or the spraying of a deicing or the like. So that a high level of reliability even under extreme conditions, as is the case with sports equipment 3, but especially in winter sports equipment, can be achieved.

FIGS. 5 to 7 show a further embodiment variant of a device 1 for connecting the sports shoe 2 to a sports device 3. As an example of the device 1, a ski binding is used on a ski, the individual components and device parts 4 of this device 1 corresponding to those according to FIGS. 1 to 4 and accordingly, even if not described in detail, denoted by the same reference numerals are as in Figs. 1 to 4.

One of the device parts 4 of the device 1, in particular the ski binding shown, may be a central holding part 30, with which a distance 31 between the toe 7 and the heel piece 6, so in principle the length of the shoe sole of the shoe 2 can be set and fixed. The design of this holding part 30, for example, as a self-acting holding device without screws, is known in different versions of the prior art and therefore the training can be done arbitrarily in known embodiments.

In the present embodiment, the shut-off device 9 is now within this holding part 30 or attached to these. For this purpose, the closing device 10 is inserted into a recess 32 in this holding part 30. This can be done insofar as that the opening 48 may be formed by a bore 41 with an internal thread, in which the locking device 10 is screwed with an external thread. But it is any other type of attachment, for example by pressing or fixing with fasteners or by appropriate adhesive, possible.

The shut-off device 9 comprises in addition to the locking device 10 in turn a locking bar 14 which is in its rest position 15 - shown in partial dashed lines in Fig. 5 - is located within the outer periphery of the holding member 30. If the abusive use of the device 1 is to be avoided with the locking bolt 14, then the locking bolt 14 can move about a pivot axis 33, from the rest position shown in partially dashed lines in FIG. 5, into the blocking position 16 partially shown in solid lines in FIG be pivoted high. In this blocking position 16, the blocking element 23 of the locking device 10, for example, be formed by a displaceable in the longitudinal direction of the locking device 10 locking pin, which can be advanced into an opening 48 in a fixing tab 34 and thus the locking bar 14 in its blocking position 16 against pivoting back in the rest position 15 is locked and shut off via the locking device 10 in this position. After removal of the apparent from Fig. 8 key 13 is fixed with the blocking element 23 of the locking bar 14 in its blocking position 16 and prevents improper use of the device first

From Fig. 7 it can further be seen that the locking bar 14 is mounted in a groove-shaped recess 35 with sufficient distance 36 to the side walls of the groove-shaped recess 35 is so that it is easily accessible from the outside at any time and corresponding icing, which would prevent actuation of the locking bolt 14, can be easily removed.

For this purpose, the groove-shaped recess 35 is deeper than the corresponding height of the locking bolt 14 to prevent unwanted setting of the locking bolt 14 in the recess 35 by icing or pressed snow.

Again, the selection of an ice-repellent material can be very beneficial.

As shown schematically in FIG. 8, instead of the embodiment shown in FIGS. 5 to 7, the shut-off device 9 in which it is arranged may be arranged in the holding part 30 in the region of a standing plate 37 in the region of the front part 7. The arrangement of the shut-off device 9 in a formed in the support plate 37 recess 35 is carried out according to the above statements with appropriate clearance to the locking bar 14 to allow the effect of the invention.

The locking bar 14 is shown lying in its cut in solid lines rest position 15 lying in dotted lines in its blocking position sixteenth

In Fig. 8, 9 and 10, a further embodiment of the shut-off device 9 according to the invention with reference to a single device 1 for connecting a sports shoe 2 with a sports equipment 3, for example, a ski binding shown. For this purpose, a shut-off device 9 is arranged both in the front jaw 7, as well as in the heel piece 6, wherein it is of course possible to provide on a single device 1 both such shut-off devices 9 or optionally one of the two.

The lock part 22 shown in Fig. 10 and on an enlarged scale partially cut in Fig. 9 has at least one locking element 23 and is this lock part 22 and inserted into the shut-off device 9 and removed and can by means of a key 13 in his in the device part locked position in this locked. For this purpose, the locking bar 14 is displaceably mounted on the guide track 28 formed by a guide slot 38 in the longitudinal direction of the device 1 or the sports device 3 on a housing part 39 of the front jaw 7. In the housing part 39 is an external, optionally usable Locking device (10) of the shut-off device 9 installed, the blocking element 23, for example, a pivotable or extendable pin or locking arm, shown in the present Fig. 9 blocking position this against movement in the - shown in dotted lines - rest position 15 fixed. For this purpose, the housing of the locking device 10 block the facing this end face of the locking bolt 14 when it is inserted into a recess 32 and locked by operation with the key 13 in this or locked.

After locking the locking element 23 by means of the locking device 10 by the key 13 and after removing it, the device 1 is protected against illegal use.

Again, the parts of the locking bar 14 lie on the surface of the front jaw 7 and thus a simple operation can be achieved.

Another variant of the device 1 is shown in the region of the rear jaw 6 in FIG. 9. Here, the shut-off device 9 consists of a cylindrical, external and if necessary removable locking device 10 in which a rotatable relative to the housing 40 locking element 23 is arranged. After insertion of the cylindrical housing 40 into a bore 41 of the base part 11 can then with the key 13, the blocking element 23 is pivoted into a recess 32 within the base member 11 and blocked there. After removal of the key 13, the closing device 10 is thus arranged so that the housing 40 of the same projects into the region which is normally required for holding the ski boot in the heel piece 6. Thus, the device 1 is unusable and, by virtue of the fact that the locking device 10 is inserted into the heel piece 6 only immediately before use, it is readily possible to keep it warm in the rest of the time, e.g. it can be carried in the ski clothing, so that the insertion and locking is possible without any difficulty by icing or the like.

FIGS. 11 and 12 show another embodiment of the device 1 for connecting a sports shoe 2 to a sports equipment 3, for example a snowboard binding, in a front jaw 7 shown schematically.

The device 1 is associated with a shut-off device 9, with the use of the device 1 can be prevented.

For this purpose, a pivotable about a pivot axis 43 locking bolt 14 is disposed on the toe 7. The locking bar 14 is formed by a pivot arm which is divided by the pivot axis 33 in a longer and shorter lever part. The longer lever part is provided for pivoting in the space required for insertion of the shoe 2 in the device 1 - as shown in solid lines in the blocking position 16 - whereas the shorter part of the shut-9 and the closing device 10 is assigned. This locking device 10 comprises a cylindrical rotatable locking pin, which is provided on one of its longitudinal sides with a flattening 44, in particular an eccentric. By pivoting the blocking element 23 in the position shown in the blocking position 16 - in solid lines - the locking bar 14 is locked at a pivoting back from the blocking position shown in solid lines 16 in the rest position 15 shown in dotted lines.

To adjust the blocking element 23 is to pivot so that the flattening 44 faces the locking bar 14, whereupon this in its - shown in dotted lines - rest position 15 is pivoted. After Rückverschwenkung the locking bar 23 in the original position of the locking bar 14 is then blocked against unwanted pivoting into the space for receiving the shoe in the device 1.

The fact that the locking bar 14 is entirely outside the housing of the front or heel jaw 7, 6, a proper operation and a reliable operation under difficult environmental conditions such as very low temperatures with the risk of icing is achieved.

FIG. 13 shows another embodiment variant of a shut-off device 9, in the region of the rear holding element 50 of a device 1 designed as a snowboard binding. This device 1 is composed of the base plate 55, the holding elements 49, 50 for a sports shoe 2, the calf support, the detent coupling 56 and other device parts 4 together.

The arrangement of a shut-off device 9 can take place on one of the holding elements 49, 50 in the closure device, for fixing a sports shoe 2, or in another region of the holding elements 49, 50.

These designed as holding straps holding elements 49, 50 are composed of two mutually telescopically adjustable bands, one of the straps 49, 50 a coupling device or the like. And the opposite band is associated with a counter-coupling device. The closure device shown here, like many others known in the art.

The retaining straps 49, 50 have a locking coupling 56 which engage in locking teeth, which is arranged on the opposite retaining strap. The tether with the ratchet teeth, is guided by the latching coupling 56 of the other tether and fixed with the help of this, the sports shoe 2 in the device 1. By this locking arrangement a fine adjustment for each size of the sports shoe 2 is achieved. In one of the locking couplings 56 on the front or rear holding elements 49, 50, the shut-off device 9 is provided.

By locking the retaining bands 49, 50 via the latching coupling 56 and the subsequent closing of the shut-off device 9, these can no longer be separated from each other. This makes entry into the device 1 impossible, since it can no longer be adapted to the foot of a user. An inconspicuous stealing of the device 1 is therefore difficult.

Here, too, external lock parts 22, as well as attachable shut-off devices 9 can be provided. For example: a padlock, the lock bracket is passed through holes in the superimposed support members 49, 50.

14 shows another embodiment variant of a device 1, in particular a soft binding for a snowboard, consisting of a base plate 55, the holding elements 49, 50, the calf support 52 and further device parts 4.

Here, the swivel calf support is utilized and provided with a shut-9. In an opening in the calf support, an external lock part 22 can be used.
