Definitions

  • the invention relates to a pivotable connection device between a sports device and a footprint for a foot of a user and a shoe and a sports device for the connecting device according to the preambles of claims 1, 5 and 6.
  • a device for connecting a shoe with a sports device comprises an upper sub-frame, which is connectable to a user's shoe and articulated via a hinge mechanism comprising a plurality of transmission arms and joints with a lower sub-frame, which is adapted for attachment to various sports equipment.
  • the joint mechanism connecting the upper and lower subframes is constructed so that pivoting of the upper subframe relative to the lower subframe simultaneously effects a relative displacement between the two subframes.
  • restoring spring means are provided, which press the two sub-frames in a predefined relative position resiliently together.
  • WO 87/01296 A1 is a binding unit between a shoe and a sports equipment, in particular a touring ski binding disclosed, the articulated connection is made to the sports equipment in the foot ball associated area.
  • the binding unit for the user's shoe can be displaced relative to the sports device in an upper active position, in which a pivoting about the joint connection relative to the sports equipment is possible, and also in a lower blocking position in which a pivoting of the binding is prevented, adjusted.
  • the disadvantage here is that a change from the active to the locked position of the joint connection and vice versa is difficult to perform and the shear forces or torsional forces related to a vertical axis between the sports equipment and the foot of the user make high demands on the parts used.
  • a connecting device between a shoe and a sports device which both allows a pivoting of the shoe relative to the sports equipment about a transverse axis to the longitudinal axis pivot axis and beyond at the same time provides a relative displacement of the shoe in the longitudinal direction of the sports equipment.
  • the disadvantage here is that the user of this connection device no stable grip on the sports equipment can be taught, whereby the performance of the same is reduced. Furthermore, it is disadvantageous that the movement achievable with this device is difficult to control and certain instabilities in the course of movement can not be avoided especially in the event of a change in the terrain conditions.
  • CH 659 397 A5 is a ski binding for ski hiking described.
  • a first plate is provided, on which a ski boot can be fixed.
  • This first plate is connected via a stable lever with two provided in the end regions joints with a second plate.
  • the second plate is formed like a shoe sole to be absorbed by a conventional ski binding analogous to a ski boot.
  • the first plate is supported load-transferring on the second plate.
  • a flexible, elastically stretchable strap between the first plate and the second plate is provided, which is stretched at a pivoting of the first plate relative to the second plate, and thus the movement of the first plate opposite to the second plate provides a resilient resistance and subsequently the Resetting movement supported in the home or rest position.
  • This structure results in a two-stage movement, wherein in a first movement phase, the connecting lever is pivoted together with the first plate to an end position and only at the end of this movement phase, the first plate facing joint is effective.
  • These temporally successive pivoting movements about the two mutually spaced pivot axes of the joints cause a disadvantageous movement transition or an abruptly changed from a certain tilt angle adjustment.
  • This movement change occurs at the transition from the first pivot phase to the second pivot phase, namely, when the adjustment is completed about the first joint and then the second joint is activated with another pivot center.
  • a similar movement jump occurs in the return movement in the initial or rest position.
  • the FR 2 659 534 A1 shows a so-called folding skate arrangement, in which a sports shoe is connected via a hinged connection device with a skate blade, if necessary, releasably connected.
  • This connecting device in this case comprises an adjustable by means of an actuating lever jaw arrangement which is positively coupled with a shoe-side axle. This axle is fastened in the front toe area of the shoe.
  • this connecting device comprises a resilient abutment, which is supported on the toe area and opposes a high pivotal movement of the shoe a corresponding mechanical resistance.
  • the disadvantage here is that the pivoting of the sports shoe takes place primarily in the foremost toe area about a rigid axis. This suffers from the naturalness of the running movement.
  • the present invention has for its object to provide a pivotal connection device between a foot of a user and a sports equipment, which is able to increase the performance of a user.
  • This object of the invention is achieved by the features specified in claim 1.
  • Particularly advantageous in this design is that with relatively few and simple components, the natural rolling movement of the foot is modeled on the toe bale and thereby the performance of each user can be increased.
  • the achievable with the inventive training performance gain is associated in a surprising manner but not with losses in comfort behavior. Rather, a comfort gain can be determined by the harmonic or round movement of the connecting device.
  • the connecting device comprises a few individual components, which allow a weight-optimized design and still give the advantageous, translational and rotational movement.
  • unwanted degrees of freedom between the foot of the user and the sports equipment, such as twisting about a vertical axis be reliably prevented and can be withstood high forces.
  • due to the low number of bearings friction losses between the joint parts of the connecting device can be kept particularly low, so that the available power potential of a user can be implemented to a large extent in kinetic energy for locomotion of the sports equipment.
  • Another significant advantage is that the sole of the sports shoe, for example, a cross-country shoe, compared to identical type, conventional sports shoes can be performed relatively rigid, since the required for optimal movement, harmonious or flowing movement can be achieved by the connecting device , The natural rolling over the heel ball while walking or running is in fact now simulated with the connecting device according to the invention and thereby increases the well-being when using the sports equipment.
  • the repulsion energy to be applied by the user can be converted more effectively into locomotion energy, thereby simultaneously increasing the criterion of high efficiency, apparently contradictory to the comfort behavior.
  • Another advantage is also a development according to claim 2, since characterized the sports equipment always urges in a defined initial or rest position relative to the sports shoe.
  • an embodiment according to claim 3 is advantageous since the lever can be guided exactly and can withstand high forces. Furthermore, kinematically unfavorable lever positions can be prevented by limiting the pivotability.
  • an embodiment according to claim 4 is also advantageous, since at the same time a relative displacement between sports shoe and sports equipment in the longitudinal direction of the sports equipment results at each high swing movement of the sports shoe relative to the sports equipment and thus represents a mechanical incremental step.
  • the invention also includes a shoe as described in the preamble of claim 5.
  • This shoe is characterized by the features in claim 5. The achievable advantages are shown in the detailed description of the figures.
  • the present invention comprises a sports device, as described in the preamble of claim 6.
