FR2627993A1 - Boot binding for snow board - has front and back wedges in which bolts separated by elastic block in boot's sole engage - Google Patents

Abstract

The binding has front and back wedges (13,14) which are fixed to the board (12). The boot's sole (5) has front (6) and back (7) bolts which are seaprated by an elastic block (8) that pushes them outwards. The bolts penetrate into the wedges to hold the boot on the board. The block is held between two rigid plates (9,10) whose separation can be adjusted by a screw (11) so that the block is compressed to modify its elasticity. The end of each bolt and the cavities in the wedges are shaped like cams allowing the boot to release in an accident. USE - The safety binding is for holding the boot on a snow board.

  "Safety surfixation for snowboarding".

  We already know a snowboard surfixation comprising two shells in which we fix

  feet fitted with mountain boots.

  In more detail, different methods of fixing the hulls are known on the surf and, in

  particular, according to patent PR 86 02 826 of 28.2.86.

  However, these different co-

  ques on the surfs have the disadvantage of not being safety bindings since the hull cannot be detached from the surf. There are also snowboards equipped with traditional ski bindings but, in this case, the user must put on ski boots. This has the disadvantage of space and

  lack of comfort, in particular for exercising

  this surfing which requires great flexibility

  feet and, in particular, at the ankles.

  The object of the present invention is to remedy

  to these disadvantages and proposes to create a fixa-

  snow snowboard safety, presenting the a-

  advantage of allowing the user to put on relatively soft mountain boots or boots,

  while being able to detach from the surf in the event of an accident.

  To this end, the invention relates to a fixing

  safety tion of the above type, characterized in that it comprises: a front cleat and a rear cleat fixed to the board at the location of each foot, - the sole of the hull contains a separate front and rear targettes by an elastic block

  that tends to push the targettes outwards

  laughing, - the connection between the hull and the surf is made by the penetration of. the front bolt in the cleat

  front and rear bolt in the rear tab.

  This fixing has the advantage of being of a very simple construction. The installation of the hull equipped with such a safety attachment on the surf is also very simple. We introduce one of the targettes in the corresponding cleat then,

  force, we introduce the second targette in its ta-

  quet by compressing the elastic block which, once

  targettes in their cleat, push the targettes back.

  According to another characteristic of the

  vention, the elastic block is held between two rigid plates of adjustable spacing allowing to compress

  the block and modify its elasticity.

  According to another characteristic of the

  vention, the rear end of each targette and the

  cavity of each cleat have forms of cams per-

  putting the heaving, that is to say the separation of

  the hull compared to surfing in the event of an accident.

  The present invention will be described in a manner

  re more detailed using the single attached figure

  which is a schematic view of a safety over-fixing

rity according to the invention.

  According to the figure, the safety attachment consists of a shell 1 in which the foot is placed

  fitted with a mountain boot 2. This hull is mu-

  nie of a fixing 3 in the lower part for the front of

  the boot and a rear fastening 4 at the level of the

let.

  The sole 5 of the shell has a tar-

  front bolt 6 and a rear bolt 7 movable in translation in the longitudinal direction of the sole. Between these two bolts 6, 7 is an elastic block 8 which tends to push the bolts 6, 7 outwards. This relatively flat elastic block 8 is held between two rigid surfaces 9, 10 or plates, joined by a clamping means such as a screw 11 which makes it possible to adjust the spacing of the plates 9, 10 and, consequently, to modify the compression of block 8, which modifies its elasticity with respect to

bolts 6, 7.

  The surf 12 is equipped with a front cleat 13 and a rear cleat 14 receiving respectively the front bolt 6 and the rear bolt 7. The cleats

  13, 14 and the bolts 6, 7 have their surface which co-

  father in the form of a cam so as to allow in the event of intense efforts exerted, for example, by the foot

  in the event of an accident, compress block 8 to allow

  be the release of one or the other bolt from its cleat.

  The installation of a shell i such as

  above, in the cleats 13, 14 of the surf 12 is done by introducing either the front bolt 6, or the

  rear bolt 7 in its cleat 13, 14 correspon-

  dant, then by forcing the other targette in its cleat

by compressing block 8.

Claims (3)

  1) Safety attachment for snowboarding   ges, comprising two shells each receiving a foot equipped with a mountain boot, binding characterized in that it comprises: - a front cleat (13) and a rear cleat (14) fixed to the surf (12) at the location on each foot, - the sole (5) of the shell (1) contains a front bolt (6) and a rear bolt (7) separated by   an elastic block (8) which tends to repel the tar-   pods (6, 7) outwards, - the connection between the hull and the surf is made by   the penetration of the front bolt (6) into the ta-   front quet (13) and the rear bolt (7) in the rear cleat (14).   2) Safety fixing according to the claim   tion 1, characterized in that the elastic block (8)   is held between two rigid plates (9, 10)   adjustable (11) for compressing the block (8) and modify its elasticity.   3) Safety fixing according to the claim   tion 1, characterized in that the rear end of each bolt (6, 7) and the cavity of each cleat   (13, 14) have cam shapes allowing the   fitting, that is to say the separation of the shell by report to surf in case of accident.
