Definitions

  • the present invention is applied in the extreme sports sector and more specifically in skating or sliding on snow-covered surfaces with a board called snowboards, and it relates to binding devices which allow the rotation of the rider's boot with respect to the board.
  • the object of the invention allows releasing the original position of the boots with respect to the board, which for the rider involves putting his/her knees in a comfortable position when he/she is not going down the snow-covered slope, when sitting on a ski lift or when he/she crosses flat surfaces, among others, thus preventing torsional stresses on the knees and therefore possible injuries.
  • the rider adopts this forward movement position on several occasions due to the fact that he/she is not sliding on the snow-covered surface mounted on the board at all times since he/she has to move to the chair lifts and drag lifts, and in many cases walk and cross flat surfaces because he/she has no more inertia to slide or because he/she has to move slowly forward in line waiting to get on these transportation means, so the rider is forced to free one foot from the board in order to be able to walk.
  • the rider will have no options but to force his/her leg joints, particularly the knee, to adopt a board position similar to the ski position, i.e., with the position of the longitudinal axis of the board parallel to the forward movement direction of the individual and not perpendicular, such that he/she avoids this problem described above.
  • the present invention relates to a binding device for snowboards that overcomes the drawbacks mentioned above since it allows the rider to perform a rotational movement of the boot with the rider being on the board and without the need of removing the foot from the boot or the boot from the binding by means of a movement consisting of pulling on an outer tensing member or pulling member located at the toe of the boot outwards, sliding the foot forward to release the boot from its anchoring position and performing the desired rotational movement by means of a continuous movement.
  • the binding device proposed by the invention comprises a base plate which can be attached to the board and a support plate which can attached to the boot, where said base plate allows a relative anchoring position of the support plate with respect to the base plate by means of a longitudinal movement performed by the support plate through the movement of the rider's leg; and where said support plate can also lose said anchoring position with respect to the base plate to allow a relative free position of the support plate, the support plate thus being able to perform the relative rotational movement with respect to the base plate.
  • the boot will thus be free with respect to any fixed position of the board, so torsional stress caused by the moment produced due to the weight of the board and to the external stresses as discussed in the previously described situations will no longer exist since the binding device is articulated when the restriction is released.
  • the device proposed by the invention is an improvement in the bindings used until now, and it solves the problem described above in a satisfactory manner, in the line of allowing less knee injuries, which is performed in a simple manner with the subsequent cost reduction for the rider and assuming fewer risks due to the method used, all this through a simple, integrated design which only requires slightly pulling on the pulling member for the activation thereof.
  • the binding device proposed by the invention comprises a base plate (4) which can be attached to the board and a support plate (2) which can be attached to a boot, where said base plate (4) allows a relative anchoring position of the support plate (2) with respect to the base plate (4) by means of a longitudinal movement performed by the support plate (2) through the rider; and where said support plate (2) can also lose said anchoring position with respect to the base plate (4) to allow a relative free position of the support plate (2), the support plate (2) being able to perform a relative rotational movement with respect to the base plate (4), as shown in Figures 12 to 15 , where said base plate (4) has two curved sections to allow the movement of the support plate (2) by means of the rotational movement when the support plate (2) is not anchored.
  • the guiding part (5) is preferably shaped like a heelpiece, as shown in Figure 2 , having a curved section to allow the rotational movement of the support plate (2) on which it is screwed, another possible embodiment being that where said heelpiece is attached to the support plate (2), all of them being incorporated in the same part, together with the anchoring part (6) preferably shaped like the toe, which also has curved sections, as shown in Figures 2 , 9 , 10 and 11 , to allow the rotational movement of the support plate (2), as shown in Figures 12 to 15 .
  • the base plate (4) has in one of its sections the lower guide track (18), as shown in Figures 4 , 5 and 6 , guiding the guiding part (5) through the upper guide track (16) of said guiding part (5), allowing the longitudinal movement of the guiding part (5) on the base plate (4) for establishing the anchoring position of the binding, as shown in Figures 12 and 13 .
  • Said guiding part (5) further has a tongue (8) preventing snow from entering, located on the outer side of a section of the perimeter of said guiding part (5), as shown in Figure 2 .
  • the anchoring part (6) shaped like the toe has two anchoring grooves (9), which in turn have two cavities for housing two retention elements and for the travel thereof, said retention elements preferably being two special bolts with coupled travel guides, compressing two springs as the rider pulls outwardly on the pulling member (22), preferably a metal tensing member, as shown in Figures 9 , 10 and 11 , until allowing the free position of the device.
  • the anchoring grooves are located in the outer section of the base plate (4), as shown in Figures 4 and 5 , the function of which consists of guiding and housing the anchoring teeth (7), as shown in Figures 9 to 11 , serving to keep the boot, more specifically the support plate, anchored to the base plate (4) during the anchoring position.
  • Both the support plate (2) and the base plate (4) are provided with two rails (19) and two channels (10), respectively, engaging one another for guiding and limiting the movement of the support plate (2), performing a limited travel with respect to the base plate (4) due to a movement delimiting member (21) which acts as a stop to define the end of travel and which is comprised at one end of the base plate (4) as can be seen in Figures 4 and 5 .
  • both the rails (19) and the channels (10) is defined by the trajectory of the relative movement of the support plate (2) and of the base plate (4), respectively, and they extend along the surface of said plates, and they further have an engaging section (11), preferably a straight section, located at the ends for keeping the boot fixed in its anchoring position, as can be seen in Figures 4 and 5 of the base plate (4) and in Figures 12 to 15 showing the relative positions of the plates and being fixed to one another by the mentioned engaging sections (11).
  • This binding device further contains an anchoring disc (3) fixed by screws and connecting the base plate (4) to the board and keeping it fixed thereto, and having a threaded cavity located in a female projection (12) through which the support plate (2) is coupled through a first oval pass-through recess (14), as shown in Figure 2 , and whereby said female projection (12) is attached to a threaded male projection (17) belonging to a cover (1), as shown in Figure 3 , where said cover (1) is placed on a second oval recess (15) of the support plate (2) through which the cover (1) attached to the anchoring disc (3) slides upon being disengaged from the base plate (4), as shown in Figures 12 and 13 .
  • the base plate (4) also comprises a plurality of support plugs (20) preventing friction of the base plate with the board.
  • the support plate (2) is provided with a cushioning foam (13) located in places such as the side structures and the surface where the boot rests, such that the impacts received by the boot due to the clearance between the boot and the binding are favorably cushioned, preventing any type of vibrations caused by surface irregularities, etc.
