Definitions

  • the present invention relates to bindings for snowboards, and is particularly concerned with a device which adapts a safety release alpine ski binding to the different stance required by snowboard skiing.
  • a safety release alpine ski binding is a device secured to an alpine ski to receive a ski boot in the longitudinal direction of the ski but which automatically releases the boot if an excess force is applied to the binding other than along the length of the ski.
  • Snowboarding is a sport in which the balance and stance of a rider on a somewhat wider than normal snow ski are comparable to those of a wave surfer.
  • the rider of a snowboard has his feet extending generally across the length of the board.
  • the stance shared by surfers and snowboarders typically has the rider's right foot trailing the left foot. Alternatively, this configuration may be reversed in which case the stance is termed "goofy".
  • the angles of the respective feet to the longitudinal axis of the snowboard may vary according to the preference of the rider, but typically the trailing foot is substantially transverse to the longitudinal axis of the board while the leading foot is at an angle of approximately 45° to said axis.
  • the rider is usually crouched with bent knees and uses his arms to assist balance.
  • the snowboard is controlled by the rider changing his balance or leaning on a particular edge of the snowboard thus causing that edge of the board to dig in.
  • the forces required to adequately control the snowboard tend to require that the rider's feet be secured to the board.
  • bindings such as straps, harnesses or boot shells securing the feet to the snowboard laterally to the direction of travel release the rider either not at all or insufficiently, resulting in a higher incidence of lower leg injury amongst snowboarders than amongst alpine skiers.
  • a device for adapting a safety release alpine ski binding for use with a snowboard which device comprises: (a) a binding plate having a leading end and a trailing end, the leading end being provided with a toe lug and the trailing end being provided with a heel lug adapted to be received respectively in the toe binding and heel binding of a safety release alpine ski binding disposed substantially longitudinally on the snowboard, and (b) foot locating means which when the foot is located thereby defines a toe-heel axis of the foot which is substantially co-planar with the binding plate and which is inclined to the axis between the toe lug and heel lug of the binding plate.
  • a snowboard for use with the adapting device described in the immediately preceding paragraph, the snowboard being characterised by having two safety release alpine ski bindings mounted substantially in line fore and aft on the long axis of an upper surface of the snowboard.
  • the foot locating means may comprise means to partially envelop the footwear of the rider and examples of appropriate means, such as boot shells, harnesses, straps or rat trap bindings are known from the art of alpine skiing. Some of these may require a specific type of footwear, such as a ski boot, to be worn which has a rigid sole but particularly where footwear with a non-rigid sole is worn it is preferred that the foot locating means encloses the entire sole of the rider's footwear to assist in transferring the rider's balance and leg movements to the snowboard.
  • the foot locating means may include a plate or other rigid substrate to which the partially enveloping means may be permanently or otherwise secured.
  • Such a rigid substrate may comprise a pair of parallel rods, each mountable»-to the binding plate so as to extend parallel to the toe heel axis of the foot locating means.
  • Each end portion of the parallel rods may have an element of the partially enveloping means, such as a toe clamp or a heel clamp of a rat trap binding, attachable thereto.
  • the foot locating means may directly secure the rider's footwear to the binding plate and such an arrangement is most suitable for rigid soled footwear which can transmit the rider's balance and leg movements.
  • the foot locating means will comprise one or more fasteners such as screws or the binding plate may be bonded or otherwise directly secured to the footwear.
  • the binding plate may be received in a slot in the sole.
  • the sole of the footwear is integrally moulded with the binding plate so that the foot locating means comprises the footwear.
  • the aforementioned foot locating plate or other rigid substrate may be connectable directly to the rider's footwear.
  • the binding plate and at least part of the foot locating means may be permanently fastened together at an appropriate fixed inclination between the toe-heel axis of the foot and the toe lug-heel lug axis of the binding plate.
  • the device of the present invention may not be interchangeable between use on the leading and trailing feet, as the angle of the toe-heel axis of the rider's foot relative to the direction of travel is typically different in each case.
  • a fixed inclination device is constructed such that the device can be inverted and used either for a normal or goofy stance.
  • the toe and heel lugs and the foot locating means are provided so as to be usable in both the normal and inverted position.
  • the aforementioned partially enveloping foot locating means may need to be separable from one side of the substrate and remountable on the opposite side.
  • the substrate of the foot locating means and binding plate are formed from a single piece of material, they may be fabricated by means such as stamping or moulding.
  • the device is constructed to allow the inclination between the toe-heel axis of the rider's foot and the toe lug-heel lug axis of the binding plate to be adjusted.
  • Such an adjustment allows the device to be adapted for an individual rider's preferences for placement of his feet.
  • the angle is sufficiently variable to allow the device to take the inclination of the leading or trailing foot relative to the direction of travel, or to be adjusted for a normal or goofy stance.
  • Adjustment of the inclination between the rider's foot toe-heel axis and the toe lug-heel lug axis may require the foot locating means to be demountable from the binding plate whereupon it can be remounted at the desired angle.
  • the device may be constructed so that the binding plate and foot locating means do not need to ⁇ be demounted from each other to alter the inclination between the rider's foot toe-heel axis and the toe lug-heel lug axis of the binding plate.
  • This can be achieved by the use of a pivot connecting the foot locating means and the binding plate, possibly in conjunction with locking means to prevent further rotating movement, once the desired inclination has been set.
  • locking means include screws, clamps and friction plates.
  • a further such locking means can comprise interdigitating radial grooves and ridges on opposed faces of portions of the binding plate and foot locating means.
  • Safety release alpine ski bindings usually require interaction between a ski boot received therein and friction plates provided on the ski between the toe and heel bindings.
  • the binding plate of the adapting device may be adapted to provide a similar interaction by means of, for instance, friction plates mounted on the undersurface of the binding plate which in use faces the upper surface of the snowboard.
  • the friction plates may directly interact with a portion of the alpine ski bindings, or of the surface of the snowboard itself.
  • friction plates on the snowboard may directly interact with the undersurface of the binding plate.
  • a portion of a plastic tow lug or heel lug of the binding plate may extend along a portion of the undersurface of the binding plate to act as a friction plate.
  • the foot locating means allow a similar interaction such that an undersurface of the foot beating means or the rider's footwear, may interact with an appropriate portion of the upper surface of the ski board.
  • friction plates may be mounted on the underside of the boot locating means, or on appropriate portions of the upper surface of the snowboard.
  • an arcuate friction plate is provided on the ski board so that adapting devices which may be adjusted to different inclinations between the tow lug heel lug axis of the binding plate and the tow heel axis of the foot locating means, may interact with a respective portion of the arcuate friction plate.

  • FIGURE 2 is a plan view of the first embodiment of the adapting device modified for use with a snowboarder's trailing foot
  • FIGURE 3 is a side view of the device of Figure 2, received by a safety release alpine ski binding mounted on a snowboard;

  • FIGURE 8 is a plan view from above of the further embodiment of Figure 7.
  • FIGS 1 and 2 of the accompanying drawings illustrate a basic embodiment of the adapting device of the present invention for different feet of a snowboard rider respectively.
  • the device 10 in Figure 1 is intended to locate the leading foot of the snowboard rider on the snowboard while the device 12 in Figure 2 is intended to locate the trailing foot of the snowboard rider.
  • the devices 10 and 12 are identical and will therefore be described together with the same reference numerals being used to identify identical or similar parts. Both of the devices 10 and 12 are secured to the snowboard in the same manner as will be described hereinafter with reference to Figure 3.
  • the devices 10 and 12 each comprise an elongate planar binding plate 14 having a leading end 16 and a trailing end 18.
  • the binding plate 14 may be stamped or otherwise formed in metal or, for example, injection moulded in suitable engineering plastics, and is integral with an elongate planar foot plate 20 of similar length to the binding plate 14 and having a toe end 22 and a heel end 24.
  • the longitudinal axis of the foot plate 20 is inclined relative to that of the binding plate 14, the angle of inclination depending on user preference.
  • the angles of inclination of the foot plates 20 in the devices 10 and 12 may be the same, but generally it is preferred for the leading foot to extend at an angle of approximately 45° to the longitudinal axis of the snowboard and for the trailing foot to extend transversely to the longitudinal axis of the snowboard. Since the longitudinal axis of the binding plate is intended to be parallel to the longitudinal axis of the snowboard, as will be described hereinafter, the angle of inclination of the device 10 in Figure 1 is approximately 45° while the angle of inclination of the device 12 in Figure 2 is 90°.
  • binding plates 14 and foot plates 20 of the devices 10 and 12 are shown to be integral, it is to be understood that they may be separable and that the angles of inclination of the respective plates may be adjustable. Furthermore, the footplates 20 may be replaced by other means for sewing the boot or shoe of a rider to the binding plate.
  • the binding plate 14 has respective brackets 26 and 28 secured to the leading and trailing ends 16 and 18 by grub screws 30.
  • the brackets 26 and 28 are disposed on the upper surface of the binding plate 14 and the headed grub screws 30 screw threadedly engage the binding plate.
  • the brackets 26 and 28 are each L-shaped in cross-section having respective horizontal legs 32 overlying the binding plate and respective vertical legs 34 projecting upwardly therefrom at the longitudinal outer ends of the binding plate. Thus, the vertical legs 34 overlie the respective peripheral ends 16 and 18 of the binding plate 14.
  • the vertical legs 34 of the brackets have screw holes 36 therethrough to receive headed fasteners 38 in screw threaded engagement with a toe lug 40 at the leading end 16 of the binding plate and a heel lug 42 at the trailing end 18 of the binding plate.
  • the lugs 40 and 42 are of substantially rigid engineering plastics material and have flat upper and lower faces 44 and 46 respectively and a curved outer face 48 to generally simulate the toe end and heel end respectively of the sole of a shoe or boot as will be described in greater detail hereinafter.
  • the foot plate 20 in Figures 1 and 2 is provided with pairs of holes 50 therethrough adjacent the toe end 22 and heel end 24 respectively which are adapted to receive screw threaded fasteners which may engage directly into the sole of a shoe or boot of a board rider or, for example, with a boot shell as shown in Figure 4, a rat-trap binding as shown in Figures 5 and 6 or some other boot locating device. Between the ends 22 and 24 of the foot plate 20 and the adjacent pairs of holes 50 there are provided friction plates 52.
  • the friction plates 52 may be formed of a rigid engineering plastics material and are conveniently secured to the underside of the foot plate 20 by means of threaded fasteners (not shown) .
  • the lugs 40 and 42 and the friction plates 52 may be permanently secured to the devices 10 and 12, for example by bonding or by integral moulding or other forming, but this would remove one of the advantages of at least the device 10 illustrated in Figure 1.
  • the device 10 is intended for the leading foot of the snowboard rider which, as already mentioned, is generally disposed at 45° to the longitudinal axis of the board in use. As shown, this leading foot must be the left foot but if it is desired to use the board in a goofy stance, that is with the right foot leading, it is merely necessary to disengage the brackets 26 and 28 and the friction plates 52 from the device 10 and relocate them on the opposite sides of the binding plate 14 and foot plate 20 respectively.
  • the device 12 of Figure 2 is shown with a boot 54 mounted thereon and secured to a snowboard 56 by means of a safety release alpine ski binding 58.
  • the alpine ski binding 58 is shown schematically only since such bindings are well known and will not be described in detail here.

  • the toe portion 60 of the binding 58 receives the toe lug 40 of the device 12 while the heel portion 62 receives the heel lug 42 in a known secure manner with the toe portion 60 being adapted to release the toe lug 40 if an excessive sideways force is applied to it through the toe lug 40 and with the heel portion 62 being adapted to release the heel lug 42 if an excessive upwards force is applied to it through the heel lug.
  • the boot 54 shown in Figure 3 is illustrated schematically and is secured to the foot plate 20 of the device 12 by means of grub screws (not shown) passing through the pairs of holes 50 (not shown in Figure 3) into the sole 66 of the boot.
  • the friction plates 52 engage the upper surface 64 of the snowboard to provide control of the snowboard without the toe portion 60 of the binding 58 releasing unless an excessive side ways force is applied through the toe lug such as when the rider falls from the snowboard.
  • Figures 3A and 3B are each partial side views of a trailing end 18 of a binding plate received by a heel portion 62 of an alpine ski binding and indicate alternative ways to affix a lug to the binding plate.
  • the lug 42 has a conventional shape at its remote end 120 to enable it to be snugly received and secured by the heel portion 62 of an alpine ski binding.
