Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

FIELD OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a device for securing a boot mounting base to a snowboard.

[0002]

Plates for fixing boot mounting bases to snowboards are known. One of these known plates consists of a disk with teeth along the lower annular edge that mate with corresponding teeth formed in a circular seat on the boot mounting base. The use of this plate requires a disc that is inserted into the base, rests on the snowboard and is fixed by screw means through the slots provided in the disc.

A drawback of this known device is that once the position of the mounting base is fixed with respect to the longitudinal axis of the snowboard, its position can only be changed longitudinally.

[0004]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is an object of the present invention to maintain the position of a mounting plate with respect to a snowboard while allowing the plate to change both longitudinally and laterally with respect to the snowboard. Providing a device eliminates this drawback.

[0005]

The present invention has been made to solve the above problems, namely,
Claim 1 is a device for fixing a boot attachment base to a snowboard, comprising a hole (8) with a tooth (6) at the edge, said hole (8) being the tooth () of this hole. 6) a base (10) for accommodating a first disc (2) having teeth (4) meshing with the first disc (2) and a second disc (22) overlaid on the first disc (2), The first disk and the second disk have slots (14, 24) in the center thereof, and these holes are arranged vertically to each other and can be fastened by a member (36) slidable along the slots. And the first disk and the second disk are rotatably locked with respect to the member, and the second disk (22) penetrates the first and second disks and the base is the snowboard. And a fixing means (40) for holding to the device. (2) is the device of claim 1, characterized in that it has a larger diameter than the second disc (22), and claim 3 is characterized in that the member (36) is in the shape of a parallelepiped. The device according to claim 1, wherein the first disk (22) faces the second disk (22).
Device according to claim 1, characterized in that the surface of the disk (2) is provided with ridges (18) for generating friction.

[0006]

This and other objects, which will become apparent from the following description, have a hole with teeth on the edge, said hole having teeth on its underside which mesh with the teeth of this hole. A base for accommodating the first disc, and a second for overlapping the first disc
A disk, wherein the first disk and the second disk have slots in the center, and the holes are arranged vertically to each other,
The second disk and the first disk, which can be fastened by a member slidable along the slot, and the first disk and the second disk are rotatably locked with respect to the member; The present invention is achieved by a device for fixing a boot mounting base to a snowboard, which comprises fixing means for penetrating the second disk and fastening the base to the snowboard. Preferred embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below by way of non-limiting examples with reference to the accompanying drawings. As shown, an apparatus for securing a boot mounting base to a snowboard according to the present invention comprises:
It consists essentially of a first disc 2 having teeth 4 along the edges of its lower surface which mesh with corresponding teeth 6 formed on the seat 8 in the mounting base 10.

Specifically, the base 10 includes an appendage 12 for tightening a conventional strap system for securing a boot.

The disc 2 comprises a plurality of round holes 16 and a rectangular slot 14 having an upper surface consisting of teeth with a plurality of ridges 18 for producing friction.

The disc 2 is also provided on its upper surface with an annular rim 20 for accommodating a second disc, generally indicated at 22, having a diameter smaller than that of the disc 2.

The disc 2 also comprises a rectangular slot 24 and a plurality of holes 26, which in preset positions substantially face the slots 16 of the disc 22 as will become apparent below. Exists.

The perimeter that bounds the hole 24 is provided with teeth 28. The present invention also includes a locking element consisting of a square nut 30 and a screw 32. The square nut 30 has a washer 34 and a parallelepiped member 36, which are sized to fit and fit into the slot 14 of the disk 2 and the slot 24 of the disk 22, and these holes are also shown. It is the height that can be fastened at the same time.

The locking device of the present invention operates in the following manner. The base 10 rests on the upper surface of the snowboard 38 in a preset central position, after which the two discs 2 and 22 are inserted into the seat 8, which already has the member 3
6, which are held together partially by means of the tightening of 6 and which are positioned vertically with respect to one another in slots 14 and 2
Penetrate 4 The location of the mating holes for the screws 40 that secure the base to the board is thus marked on the board,
The screws are tightened over a short distance but do not impede the rotation of the base, the rotation of the base being positioned with respect to the longitudinal axis of the snowboard 38 in a manner suitable for the skier's technical requirements.

However, before finally tightening the screw 40, the member 3 guided along the two slots 24 and 14
By tightening 6 the disc 2 and consequently the base 10
Can be moved in any direction relative to the snowboard 38, while keeping its direction constant with respect to the snowboard longitudinal axis at all times.

FIGS. 3, 4 and 5 show three of the various configurations of the disc 2 so that the base 10 can accommodate snowboards.

The intimate contact between the discs 2 and 22 is achieved by subsequently tightening the screw 32 onto the square nut 30.

When the user wants to change the position and / or orientation of the base 10 to change his technique, first loosen screw 40 and then screw 32, causing base 10 to rotate to a new position first. The fixed disk 2
The disk 22 is slid with respect to to move corresponding to the fixing screw.

[0017]

As described above, according to the present invention, while maintaining the position of the mounting plate with respect to the snowboard, it is possible to change the position of the plate both in the longitudinal direction and in the lateral direction with respect to the snowboard. A fixation device can be provided.
