Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a base for a device for attaching a boot to a snowboard, provided with a damping means. It also relates to a device for attaching a boot to a snowboard and a snowboard comprising such a fixing device. Finally, it also relates to a method of manufacturing such a shoe attachment device.
  • the devices for attaching a boot to a snowboard comprise a substantially horizontal base of rigid plastic material, comprising a means of attachment to a snowboard in its central part, generally allowing an adjustable orientation.
  • This base is intended to receive the support of a snowboard boot on its upper surface.
  • the base comprises two vertical side walls representing retaining elements of the lateral and medial surfaces of the shoe.
  • several straps extend from one vertical wall to the other by tightening the top of the shoe to form a vertical support of the shoe, thus maintaining it in support on the base.
  • a rear retainer also called by its English name "spoiler”.
  • a general object of the present invention is therefore a device for attaching a boot on a snowboard with a damping means, simplified and low cost.
  • the invention is based on a base for shoe attachment device on a snowboard, characterized in that it has a damping portion movable relative to the rest of the base to dampen the forces exerted on the surface top of the base.
  • the device for attaching a snowboard boot comprises a particular base, to which are associated the usual elements of shoe binding devices.
  • this base is compatible with the various existing configurations of snowboard boot binding device.
  • the base of the shoe attachment device comprises at least one part which is connected to the remainder of the base by a flexible boundary, so as to make possible a displacement of the part in relation to the rest of the base, to dampen the efforts transmitted by a user at this part.
  • this damping portion is disposed in the areas of the base receiving the most important solicitations of the foot of the surfer, as under the heel at the rear of the base and / or under the front part of the foot.
  • FIG. 1 illustrate more particularly one embodiment of the invention, wherein the rear portion 2 of the base 1, intended to receive the heel of a shoe, is separated from the rest 9 of the base by two lateral notches 3 substantially longitudinal and represents a damping portion of the base.
  • This configuration makes it possible to provide this rear portion 2 of the base with a flexibility of movement, close to a rotation about a transverse axis 4 positioned towards the front end of the indentations 3, with respect to the rest of the base .
  • This damping part 2 is thus separated from the remainder 9 of the base by a border zone formed by the two notches 3 and the transverse axis connecting the rear parts of these notches and materialized by the axis 4.
  • the lower surface 5 of the damping rear portion 2 of the base occupies at rest a position higher than the surface 10 of the snowboard.
  • the lower surface 5 occupies at rest a higher position than the lowest part 7 of the base.
  • This lowest part 7 extends from the central part of the base, at its connecting zone 8 provided to rest directly on the surface of a snowboard 10, to the front as schematically represented on the figure 2 .
  • the lower surface 5 of the rear portion 2 of the base has a slight upward slope, so that the rear end 6 of this surface is above the surface of a snowboard with a height h of about 5 millimeters.
  • a height of a few millimeters of the damping portion of the base above the surface of the snowboard 10 could be suitable, since it would be provided with a freedom of movement because of the space disposed between its lower surface and the upper surface of the snowboard. A height between 3 and 10 millimeters would be fine.
  • the lower surface of the damping portion could be substantially parallel to the snowboard. It is necessarily detached from the surface of the snowboard, not in contact with this surface of the snowboard in its rest position, to be provided with a degree of freedom of movement down to fulfill its function of damping efforts.
  • this fixing device when a user has put on this fixing device and engages in a descent, it will transmit very significant efforts on the base, including via his heel. These efforts will cause deformations of the rear portion 2 of the base, located directly under the heel, which will sink under the significant efforts suffered, especially during shocks, jumps, turns, etc., then recover its natural position according to an oscillation movement depending on the elastic properties of its material used. These movements and oscillations will thus make it possible to fulfill a damping function of the forces transmitted by the surfer, who will feel less pain especially at the level of his knees.
  • the base of the invention may be in a rigid or semi-rigid material similar to the materials used in the state of the art, for example fiber-filled plastic or even metal or rigid non-filled plastic. Alternatively, other rigid materials may be used.
  • damping part of the base we mean a part in this rigid or semi-rigid material, extending over the entire thickness of the base, and not for example a single superficial layer of foam that would be added.
  • the damping part and the rest of the base are in a different material. For example, such a structure could be obtained by a double injection of plastic material, the damping portion being in a less rigid material than the rest of the base.
  • the damping effect has been obtained by the two notches 3 represented by way of examples.
  • the indentations could be curved.
  • a single notch in a substantially transverse direction partially taking the axis 4 for example.
  • a so-called damping portion of the base will be at least partially separated from the rest of the base by an intermediate zone called boundary, so as to allow movement, bending, the damping portion relative to the rest of the base.
  • this boundary which corresponds to the contour of the damping portion, can be achieved by an area comprising generally less rigid material, or in its thickness, whether by notches, openings, or areas of small thickness, or by a particular geometry allowing the damping part to be connected by little rigid material to the rest 9 of the base, or by the use of a more flexible material, to enable it to fulfill its damping function.
  • the separation of the base may relate to the front portion of the base, located below the metatarsophalangeal joint, where the front support of a foot is applied.
  • it may relate to the lateral zones of the base, allowing it to promote the roll effect to offer more mobility, and damping in the lateral direction.
  • the concept of the invention can be combined with other solutions existing in the state of the art. It is for example possible to have one or more layers of foam or other elastic material, such as rubber for example, between the damping portion of the base and the surface of the snowboard, without departing from the concept of the invention. In such a case, simple strips of small foam may suffice. Moreover, this foam being hidden and invisible, it does not need to present a very sought-after aesthetic appearance. Such a presence of foam may for example have the advantage of preventing any shock of the damping portion directly on the surface of the gliding board. These solutions with foam can thus provide a satisfactory result with a small amount of foam. Naturally, it is possible to add a thickness of foam on the surface of the base, in particular on the upper surface of the damping part, to add an additional comfort element, without departing from the concept of the invention.
  • foam or other elastic material such as rubber for example
  • the invention also relates to a method of manufacturing a base of a snowboard binding device, which may comprise a step of producing a boundary between two parts of the base. This step may consist of cutting at least one notch.
