Abstract

PURPOSE: To keep a shoes retaining member from being accidentally isolated from the body of a plate by a method wherein, the undersurface or the top surface of the body of a binding is made slope across the width thereof to bore holes at a fixed interval on a side part of the body of the plate and the shoes retaining member is detachably arranged freely with both feet tilted inward. CONSTITUTION: The undersurface of the body 1 of a plate (toe piece 1' and heel piece 1") is formed askew side ways (across the width) and arranged in a direction of being lowered inward. Recessed parts 4 of a stopper 3 communicate with holes 2, and shoes retaining members 6 and 6' are made elastically openable or closable across the width thereof. In mounting into the holes 2, the positions of the holes are selected according to the size of shoes. In other words, on the front of the body 1 of the plate, the front hole 2 is selected and the rear hole 2 is selected in the rear thereof. During the use, the shoes on the plate body 1 are restricted in lateral movement by a rising part 13. Even if the shoes contact the shoes retaining members 6 and 6' for some reasons, the shoes are inclined askew to the plate body 1 or arranged side by side and thus, blocked from being slipping by a protruded part 5 of the stopper 12.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] <Industrial Application Field> This invention allows both feet to be sufficiently inclined inward at the necessary angle, and when attaching the plate body to the snowboard body, the mounting hole provided on the snowboard body is provided with the minimum required number of holes. In addition, even after the plate body is fixed to the snowboard body, it can be adjusted according to the shoe size, and the sheath retaining member does not accidentally come off from the plate body during use, and can be adjusted roughly. The present invention relates to a snowboard binding in which operations such as tightening and releasing the binding can be performed from the front of the binding, that is, toward the toe, with one touch.

<Prior art and its problems> A snowboard is a device for sliding on snow like skiing, but in use it is similar to surfing, in which both feet are placed on one snowboard and the device is used to slide in the same manner as a surfboard. be.

Traditional bindings have a horizontal bottom surface,
When this was fixed to the horizontal surface of the snowboard body, both bindings were formed so that they were both in a horizontal state. However, with a snowboard, both feet are placed on a single snowboard body, and both feet are oriented diagonally to the longitudinal direction of the snowboard body, and the angles of the front and rear feet are different. In this case, it is much easier to operate the snowboard if both feet are positioned so that they are naturally tilted inward, so the user consciously positions his/her feet in the shoes so that they are tilted inward. . However, since this was done in the limited space of the shoe, it was not possible to obtain a sufficient angle.

Also, in the case of snowboarding, the shoes are fixed to the bindings while the shoes are on, but shoes come in various sizes, so it is necessary to use bindings that match the size of the shoes. If the size of the binding differs, the position of the holes for attaching the binding to the snowboard body will also differ.

On the other hand, the binding itself has various structures,
Depending on the type of binding, the location of the hole for fixing it to the snowboard body will differ. As described above, on the premise that the holes for attaching the binding to the snowboard differ depending on the size and type of the binding, a large number of holes are drilled in advance on the snowboard so as to be common to all of them. However, among these many holes, in reality, only a small number of holes specified by the size and type of binding are used.
Other holes would be left open on the snowboard, which would allow moisture to enter the interior of the snowboard, which was not a good condition.

In general, once a conventional binding is attached to a snowboard as described above, the shoe size for this binding is specified, and it cannot be used with shoes of other sizes. In other words, conventional bindings have a structure that cannot be adjusted to accommodate changes in shoe size.

In addition, conventional bindings generally involve tightening several belts at the instep of the shoe to secure the shoe, and it is difficult to tighten or release the belt for one foot. It was extremely complicated. On the other hand, there were a very small number of so-called one-touch techniques, but they were all positioned to be performed on the knee (Achilles muscle), and considering the posture of placing both feet on a single snowboard, , I had to operate the binding in a very unstable condition.

<Means for Solving the Problems> Therefore, in order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the snowboard binding according to the present invention has the lower surface or the upper surface of the binding body sloped in the width direction, and when the binding jig body is disposed. , the upper surface of the binding body is made oblique, and the lower or upper surface of the binding body is made sloped in the width direction, and holes are bored at regular intervals on the side of the plate body constituting the binding body, and A stopper having a recess communicating with this hole is formed on the outside, and a shaft locking member that can be elastically opened and closed in the width direction is removably disposed in the hole, so that both feet can be tilted inward at a sufficient angle. When attaching the plate body to the snowboard body, the number of mounting holes provided on the snowboard body should be the minimum required, and even after the plate body is fixed to the snowboard body, the holes should be adjusted to match the shoe size. This prevents the shaft locking member from accidentally separating from the plate body during use.

Another object of the present invention is to drill an arc-shaped hole toward the end in the side surface of the bent part of the fastener body, which has a U-shaped cross section and an L-shaped overall shape. However, a long shaft locking member connected to the binding whose lower or upper surface is sloped in the width direction is inserted through this hole, and
disposing an i-axis at a position inside the hole, connecting a small plate connected to the shaft locking member to this pivot, and
A spring is installed on the pivot, and this different tightening body is placed in front of the binding, so that operations such as tightening and releasing the binding can be performed from the front of the Visiday jig, that is, toward the toe, and with one touch while leaning forward. It has been made possible to do so.

<Embodiment> Next, an embodiment of the snowboard binding according to the present invention will be described based on the drawings. Reference numeral 1 denotes a plate body for fixing to the snowboard body B, and this plate body 1 is attached to the binding body. It consists of
Sometimes it is divided into two parts, the front being the toe piece 1' and the back being the heel piece 1''.Then, holes 2 are drilled at regular intervals on the sides of this plate body 1 (toe piece 1'', heel piece 1''). It is set up. Also, this plate body 1 (
The lower surfaces of the toe piece 1', heel piece 1'') are formed diagonally in the lateral (width) direction, and the plate body 1 (toe piece 1) for the left and right feet is attached to one snowboard body B.
′, heel piece 1”) is arranged in such a way that it is lowered inward. 3 is the plate body 1
(toe piece 1', heel piece 1''), that is, on the outside of the hole 2. This stopper 3 has a shape in which concave portions 4 and convex portions 5 are alternately repeated, and among these, concave portions 4 shall be aligned with the position communicating with the hole 2. 6.6° is the plate body 1 (toe piece 1°, heel 1?')
This is a shaft locking member detachably disposed in the hole 2 so as to be elastically openable and closable in the lateral direction, that is, the width direction, and the shaft locking members 6, 6' are made of thick wire.

Reference numeral 7 denotes a fastener main body disposed on the shaft locking member 6 disposed on the front part of the plate main body 1 or on the toe piece 1', and this fastener main body 7 is constructed as follows. That is, the fastener main body 7 has a U-shaped cross section and an abbreviated overall shape, and a loose arc-shaped hole 8.8' is formed at the bent part.
are drilled in parallel. The center portion of the shaft locking member 6 is inserted through the outer hole 8, and the first pivot 9 is inserted through the inner hole 8°.

Further, a circular hole is bored further inside the parallel holes 8 and 8', and another second pivot 10 is disposed inside this circular hole, and the shaft locking member 6 and the first pivot 9 are connected. The small plate 11 is further connected to the second pivot 10, and the small plate 11 is arranged to be rotatable about the second pivot 10 by the length of the arcuate hole 8.8°. It is. 12 is the second axis 1
This is a spring wrapped around 0, and this spring 12
This causes the shaft locking member 6 and the first pivot 9 to be elastically biased upwardly within the holes 8, 8' through the small plate 11. In the drawings, reference numeral 13 indicates a rising portion formed on the upper side and rear side of the plate body 1 or on the side of the toe piece 1' and heel piece 1''.
3 is the plate body 1 (toe 1 degree, heel piece 1
”) This is to specify the lateral position M of the upper shoe and to prevent the side surface of the shoe from directly contacting the shoe locking members 6, 6. .6'' from the hole 2 of the plate body 1 (toe piece 1', heel piece 1''), rotate the shoe locking member 6.6' appropriately in the hole 2 of the shoe locking member 6, and remove the shaft locking member. 6.6'
! This can be done by stretching it in the width direction. In addition, during use, the shoes on the plate body 1 (toe piece 1', heel piece) are originally restricted from moving in the lateral direction by the rising part 13, but if for some reason the shaft is locked. Even if it comes into contact with the member 6.6', when the shoe is locked by the shaft locking member 6.6', the shaft locking member 6,6' is attached to the plate body 1.
(Toe piece 1', heel piece]"), the protrusion 5 of the stopper 12 prevents it from being pulled out.

<For production> However, the plate body] (toe piece 1'.

Place the shoe on the heel piece 1'').The shoes used in this case are shoes used for skiing.The rear of the plate body 1 or the shaft locking member 6' of the heel piece 1'' is formed on the heel of the shoe. do. On the other hand, regarding the shaft locking member 6 of the front of the plate body 1 or the toe piece 1', one end of the fastener main body 7 connected to this shaft locking member 6 is locked to the toe part, and the fastener main body 7 is Hold the other end and force it to rotate toward the shoe. In this case, the fastener body 7 rotates against the elastic force of the spring 12 disposed inside the fastener body 7, but during the rotation process, the shaft locking member 6 and the first pivot 9
It moves within the arc-shaped hole 8.8° via the small plate 11 centered on the other second pivot 10, and eventually this hole 8.8°
It passes through the dead center of the hole, reaches the other end of the hole at 8.8°, and stops in that state. That is, one end of the fastener main body 7 remains engaged with the toe portion of the shoe. Furthermore, when releasing the fastener main body 7, it is sufficient to perform a completely opposite action to that described above, that is, when the fastener main body 7 is rotated in the opposite direction, the shaft locking member 6 and the first pivot 9 are moved into the arc-shaped hole 8. By moving within .8 degrees, the binding between the binding body 7 and the shoe can be released.

Also, it is obvious that the shoe size differs depending on the user, but in this case, both shaft locking members 6 and 6' are formed on the sides of the plate body 1 (toe piece 1°, heel and shoe 1''). When installing the plate body into the hole 2, it is only necessary to select its depth.In other words, in the front of the plate main body 1, select the hole 2, and in the rear, select the hole 2 in the rear. If the shaft locking member 6.6' is inserted into the toe piece 1, it will fit a large shoe, and vice versa, it will fit a small shoe. The same applies to the heel piece 1''. This allows the plate body 1 (
After the toe piece 1' and heel piece 1'' are fixed on the snowboard body B, they can be adjusted to suit the shoe size.

<Effects of the Invention> As described above, according to the snowboard binding according to the present invention, the lower surface or the upper surface of the binding body is sloped in the width direction, and the upper surface of the binding body is inclined when the binding body is disposed. The lower or upper surface of the binding body is roughly sloped in the width direction, and holes are bored at regular intervals on the side of the plate body constituting the binding body, and the outside of the hole communicates with the hole. A stopper having a concave portion is formed, and a shaft locking member that can be elastically opened and closed in the width direction is removably disposed in the hole. When attaching the main body to the snowboard body, the number of mounting holes provided on the snowboard body is minimized, and even after the plate body is fixed to the snowboard body, it can be adjusted to match the shoe size. , to prevent the shaft locking member from accidentally separating from the plate body during use, and to prevent the shaft locking member from accidentally separating from the plate body, and on the side surface of the bent part of the fastener body, which has a U-shaped cross section and an overall L-shaped shape, in the direction of the end. An arcuate hole is drilled toward the hole, and a long shaft locking member connected to the visiding whose lower or upper surface is sloped in the width direction is inserted into the hole. A pivot is disposed on the shaft, a small plate connected to the shaft locking member is connected to the pivot, a spring is disposed on the pivot, and the main body of the fastener is disposed in front of the binding. Therefore, it is possible to perform operations such as tightening and releasing the binding from the front of the binding, that is, toward the toe, and with a single touch while bending forward.
