Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf eine Bindung gemäß Oberbegriff Patentanspruch 1 und dabei speziell auf eine Snowbordbindung.The invention relates to a binding according to the preamble of claim 1 and specifically on a snowboard binding.

Snowbordbindungen sind bekannt und bestehen in ihrer heute üblichen Form aus einem vorderen Bindungselement und einem rückwärtigen Bindungselement, von denen das vordere Bindungselement einen Bügel aus einem Federdraht bildet, in den der verwendete Stiefel (Hard-Boot) mit einem überstehenden Teil des vorderen Endes seiner Stiefelsohle einführbar ist. Das rückwärtige Bindungselement besteht ebenfalls aus einem elastisch verformbaren Bügel aus Federdraht. An diesem ist ein Spann- oder Über-Totpunkt-Hebel schwenkbar vorgesehen, der bei in der Bindung fixiertem Stiefel diesen an einem am Absatz oder Fersenbereich vorstehenden Teil der Stiefelsohle hintergreift und dadurch den Stiefel in der Bindung fixiert. Nachteilig ist bei dieser bekannten Snowbordbindung u.a., daß sie nur mit großer Kraftanstrengung geschlossen und geöffnet werden kann, was insbesondere deswegen nachteilig ist, weil bei Benutzung von Liften aus Sicherheitsgründen zumindest eine der beiden Bindungen am Snowboard geöffnet werden muß. Weiterhin ist die Fixierung des Stiefels am Snowbord bei dieser bekannten Snowbordbindung nicht optimal, was insbesondere auch hinsichtlich der seitlichen Fixierung des Stiefels im Absatz- oder Fersenbereich gilt. Trotz hoher Einspannkräfte besteht nämlich die Möglichkeit eines federnden seitlichen Ausweichens, durch das eine optimale Kontrolle des Snowbords nicht möglich ist.Snowboard bindings are known and exist in their usual form today a front binding element and a rear binding element, from which the front binding element forms a bow from a spring wire in the the boot used (hard boot) with a protruding part of the front end his boot sole is insertable. The rear binding element also exists from an elastically deformable spring wire bracket. On this is a tension or Above-dead-center lever provided for pivoting, when the boot is fixed in the binding this on a part of the sole of the boot protruding from the heel or heel area reaches behind and thereby fixes the boot in the binding. The disadvantage of this Known snowboard binding, among other things, that they are closed only with great effort and can be opened, which is particularly disadvantageous because Use of lifts for safety reasons at least one of the two bindings on Snowboard must be opened. The boot is also attached to the snowboard not optimal with this known snowboard binding, which in particular applies to the lateral fixation of the boot in the heel or heel area. Despite high clamping forces, there is the possibility of a resilient lateral Evasion, through which an optimal control of the snowboard is not possible.

Bekannt ist bei Skibindungen als rückwärtiges Bindungselement zwei Backen vorzusehen (WO 80/00063), die zwischen sich einen Raum zur Aufnahme eines Stiefels sowie seitliche Anlageflächen für den Stiefel bilden. In den Backen ist jeweils eine schlitzförmige Ausnehmung vorgesehen, die ein am Skistiefel vorgesehener und seitlich vom Stiefel wegstehender Zapfen einführbar ist. Die Ausnehmung ist hierfür an einer bei montierter Bindung der Skioberseite abgewandten Seite offen. Weiterhin besitzt die Ausnehmung einen schrägen Verlauf derart, daß de Stiefel nach seinem Einsetzen in die Bindung durch ein vorderes Bindungselement mit dem Zapfen in den Ausnehmungen gegen Herausrutschen gesichert sind. Bei dieser bekannten Bindung handelt es sich um eine reine Skibindung.In ski bindings, two jaws are known as the rear binding element provide (WO 80/00063), the space between them for receiving a boot and form lateral contact surfaces for the boot. There is one in each cheek slit-shaped recess is provided, which is provided on the ski boot and laterally pin protruding from the boot is insertable. The recess is at one for this with the binding of the upper side of the ski facing away open. Furthermore, the Recess an oblique course such that de boots after its insertion in the Binding by a front binding element with the pin in the recesses are secured against slipping out. This known binding is a pure ski binding.

Bekannt ist eine Skibindung (EP 0 343 302 A1), bei der sowohl ein vorderes als auch ein rückwärtiges Bindungselement jeweils zwei den Skistiefel zwischen sich aufnehmende Backen bildet und an beiden Backen jedes Bindungselementes jeweils eine Ausnehmung zur Aufnahme eines Vorsprunges am Skistiefel vorgesehen ist. Eines der beiden Bindungselemente ist um eine Achse quer zur Skilängsachse und parallel zur Lauffläche des Skis derart schwenkbar, daß in einer geöffneten Stellung der Bindung der betreffende Skistiefel mit seinen Vorsprüngen in die Ausnehmungen der Backen einführbar ist und dann durch Schwenken des vorderen Bindungselementes in eine Schließstellung alle vier Vorsprünge am Stiefel in den Ausnehmungen der Backen gehalten sind. Bei dieser bekannten Bindung handelt es sich ebenfalls um eine reine Skibindung.A ski binding is known (EP 0 343 302 A1) in which both a front and a rear binding element two the ski boots between them forms receiving jaws and on both jaws of each binding element a recess is provided for receiving a projection on the ski boot. One of the two binding elements is about an axis transverse to the longitudinal axis of the ski and parallel to the Tread of the ski pivoted so that in an open position of the binding concerned ski boots with its projections in the recesses of the cheeks is insertable and then by pivoting the front binding element in a Closed position all four protrusions on the boot in the recesses of the cheeks are held. This known binding is also a pure one Ski binding.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, eine Snowbordbindung aufzuzeigen, die die Nachteile bekannter Snowbordbindungen vermeidet und bei einfacher und problemloser Handhabung eine zuverlässige Fixierung des Stiefels in der Bindung und damit am Snowbord gewährleistet.The object of the invention is to demonstrate a snowboard binding which has the disadvantages known snowboard bindings avoided and with simple and easy Handling a reliable fixation of the boot in the binding and thus on Snowboard guaranteed.

Zur Lösung dieser Aufgabe ist eine Bindung entsprechend dem Patentanspruch 1 ausgebildet.To achieve this object is a binding according to claim 1 educated.

Bei der erfindungsgemäßen Snowbordbindung ist ein einfaches und bequmes Anlegen bzw. Einsteigen in die Bindung dadurch möglich, daß der jeweilige Stiefel mit dem wenigstens einem Vorsprung in die schlitzförmige Ausnehmung des rückwärtigen Bindungselementes eingeführt und in dieser Ausnehmung dann durch das an dem Backen des Bindungselementes vorgesehene Verriegelungselement verriegelt wird. Das Fixieren des Stiefels in der Bindung erfolgt also ohne Spannen von harten, den Stiefel am Snowbord haltenden Federn und insbesondere auch ohne großen Kraftaufwand. Ebenso ist das Lösen des Stiefels aus der Bindung ohne Kraftaufwand möglich. The snowboard binding according to the invention is simple and comfortable to put on or getting into the binding possible that the respective boot with the at least one projection in the slot-shaped recess of the rear Binding element inserted and then in this recess by the Baking the binding element provided locking element is locked. The Fixing the boot in the binding is done without tightening the boot feathers on the snowboard and in particular without great effort. It is also possible to release the boot from the binding without exerting any force.

Quer zur Stiefellängsachse wirkende Kräfte werden durch die von den Backen gebildeten Abstützflächen, die mit entsprechenden Gegenflächen am Stiefel zusammenwirken, kontrolliert aufgenommen. Diese Abstützflächen sind beispielsweise Flächen der wenigstens einen Ausnehmung und/oder Flächen der Backen des Bindungselementes außerhalb der Ausnehmung. Die Gegenflächen sind dann entweder Flächen des wenigstens einen Vorsprunges und/oder Flächen des Stiefels. Forces acting transversely to the longitudinal axis of the boot are caused by the jaws formed support surfaces with corresponding counter surfaces on the boot interact, recorded in a controlled manner. These support surfaces are, for example Areas of the at least one recess and / or areas of the jaws of the Binding element outside the recess. The counter surfaces are then either Surfaces of the at least one projection and / or surfaces of the boot.

Bei einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform der Erfindung sind im Fersen- oder Absatzbereich des Stiefels an jeder in Längsrichtung des Stiefels verlaufenden Seite jeweils ein Vorsprung gebildet, der mit seiner Längserstreckung dann quer oder senkrecht zur Stiefelachse liegt. Mit dieser Ausbildung ist dann auch eine direkte Übertragung von um die Stiefelachse wirkenden Hebelkräften oder Drehmomenten zwischen Stiefel und Snowbord möglich, wie sie (Drehmomente) beim Aufkanten des Snowbordes auftreten. Hierdurch wird eine direkte Kantenkontrolle bei gleichzeitiger Beweglichkeit in Fahrtrichtung erreicht.In a preferred embodiment of the invention Heel or heel area of the boot on each lengthways each side of the boot has a projection formed, which is then transverse with its longitudinal extent or is perpendicular to the boot axis. With this training is then also a direct transmission from around the boot axis acting leverage or torque between Boots and snowboard possible, as they (torques) when Edge of the snowboard occurs. This will create a direct edge control with simultaneous mobility in Direction of travel reached.

Insbesondere dann, wenn das vordere Bindungselement bei dem erfindungsgemäßen Bindungssystem ebenfalls von einem federnden Bügel gebildet ist, wird bei der Erfindung eine Einspannung des Stiefels zwischen dem vorderen und dem rückwärtigen Bindungselement stets mit gleicher und insbesondere auch mit optimaler Kraft erreicht, so daß ein ungewolltes Lösen des Stiefels aus der Bindung durch die Fahrdynamik verhindert ist.Especially when the front binding element in the binding system according to the invention also from a resilient Bracket is formed, a clamping in the invention of the boot between the front and the back Binding element always with the same and in particular also achieved with optimal strength, so that an unwanted Release of the boot from the binding by the driving dynamics is prevented.

Through this Training of the front binding element 8 are all Parts of binding with boot 1 fixed in binding 6 based on the front end of the boot backwards offset so that the binding 6 has a short length.

Das rückwärtige Bindungselement 9 bildet unabhängig von einer unterschiedlichen Ausgestaltung im Detail zwei seitliche Abstützbacken 13, zwischen denen eine Fläche 12 vorgesehen ist und die zwischen sich den in der Bindung 6 fixiertem Stiefel 1 im Bereich des Absatzes 4 aufnehmen, d.h. an ihren einander zugewandten Innenseiten vertikale Abstützflächen 14 für die in Stiefellängsrichtung verlaufenden Seiten des Absatzes 4 bilden. Die Fläche 12 liegt bei in der Bindung 6 angeordnetem Stiefel 1 mit Abstand von der Unterseite der Sohle 2 bzw. des Absatzes 4 und ist außerdem dachschrägenartig bzw. keilförmig ausgebildet, so daß ein etwaiger an der Unterseite des Absatzes haftender Schneeklumpen beim einsetzen des Stiefels 1 in die Bindung durch die dachschrägenartige Fläche 12 abgesprengt wird.The rear binding element 9 forms independently of one different design in detail two side Support jaws 13, between which a surface 12 is provided and that between them is fixed in the binding 6 Pick up boots 1 in the area of paragraph 4, i.e. at her vertical support surfaces 14 facing each other for the sides of the Form paragraph 4. The surface 12 is in the binding 6 arranged boot 1 at a distance from the bottom of the Sole 2 or paragraph 4 and is also sloping roof or wedge-shaped, so that any on the Underside of the clump of sticky snow when inserted of the boot 1 in the binding through the sloping roof Surface 12 is blown off.

Jeder Abstützbacken 13 besitzt weiterhin einen an der Abstützfläche 14 und an der der Grundplatte 7 abgewandten Oberseite des Abstützbackens offenen Schlitz 15, in den zum Fixieren des Stiefels 1 in der Bindung 6 jeweils ein Vorsprung 5 einführbar ist. Durch eine später beschriebene, ein Verriegelungselement 16 aufweisende Bindungsmechanik bzw. Verriegelungseinrichtung ist jeder Vorsprung 5 in dem zugehörigen Schlitz 15 verriegelbar.Each support jaw 13 also has one on the Support surface 14 and on the base plate 7 facing away Top of the support jaw open slot 15, in the to Fixing the boot 1 in the binding 6 has a projection 5 is insertable. Through a later described one Locking element 16 having binding mechanism or Locking device is each projection 5 in the associated slot 15 lockable.

Um das Einführen des jeweiligen Vorsprunges 5 in den zugehörigen Schlitz 15 zu erleichtern, ist die Oberseite jedes Abstützbackens 13 zumindest in einem Teilbereich als Schrägfläche 17 ausgebildet, die ausgehend von dem dem Bindungselement 8 entfernt liegenden Ende des Bindungselementes 9 bzw. des Abstützbackens 13 schräg nach unten verlaufend in den jeweiligen Schlitz 15 einmündet. Eine ähnliche Schrägfläche 18 ist auch an der anderen Seite des Schlitzes 15 gebildet.To insert the respective projection 5 into the associated one To facilitate slot 15 is the top of each Support jaw 13 at least in a partial area as an inclined surface 17 formed from the binding element 8 distal end of the binding element 9 or of the support jaw 13 running obliquely downwards in the each slot 15 opens. A similar sloping surface 18 is also formed on the other side of the slot 15.

Weiterhin ist jeder Schlitz 15 geneigt bzw. schräg verlaufend derart ausgebildet, daß die Längserstreckung dieses Schlitzes in einer Ebene E liegt, die mit der Ebene der Grundplatte 7 einen Winkel kleinr als 90o einschließt, der sich zu der dem Bindungselement 8 abgewandten Seite hin öffnet.Furthermore, it is inclined, each slot 15 and obliquely formed such that the longitudinal extension of said slot lies in a plane E, which includes with the plane of the base plate 7 an angle kleinr than 90 o, which opens to the the binding element 8 facing away side .

Zum Fixieren des Stiefels 1 in der Bindung 6 wird dieser zunächst mit seinem vorderen Ende in den Bügel 11 des Bindungselemntes 8 eingeführt. Die Bindung ist hierbei so eingestellt, daß sich nach diesem Einführen die Vorsprünge 5 jeweils am oberen Ende des Schlitzes 15, d.h. etwa am Übergang von der Schrägfläche 17 in diesen Schlitz befinden. Durch Niederdrücken des Stiefels 1 an der Ferse wird dann jeder Vorsprung 15 in den zugehörigen Schlitz 15 eingeführt. Durch die vorbeschriebene Neigung der Schlitze 15 wird das erforderliche Verspannen des Stiefels 1 in der Bindung derart erreicht, daß der eine abgewinkelte Bügelebene bildende Bügel 11 leicht elastisch verformt ist und somit insbesondere auch zuverlässig die Stufe 3 hintergreift.To fix the boot 1 in the binding 6, this is first with its front end in the bracket 11 of the Binding element 8 introduced. The bond is like this set that after this insertion, the projections 5 each at the top of the slot 15, i.e. about on Transition from the inclined surface 17 are in this slot. Then press down the boot 1 on the heel each projection 15 is inserted into the associated slot 15. Due to the inclination of the slots 15 described above required tightening of the boot 1 in the binding in such a way achieved that the bracket forming an angled bracket level 11 is slightly elastically deformed and therefore in particular reliably engages behind level 3.

Die Bindung 6 gestattet ein einfaches Verbinden des Snowbords mit dem Stiefel 1 ohne übermäßige Kraftanstrengung. Da die beiden Bindungselemente 8 und 9 starr oder zumindest im wesentlichen starr an der Grundplatte 7 befestigt sind, ist auch eine starre, eine optimale Führung des Snowbords garantierende Fixierung des Stiefels 1 am Snowbord gewährleistet.The binding 6 allows easy connection of the snowboard with the boot 1 without excessive exertion. Since the two binding elements 8 and 9 rigid or at least in are essentially rigidly attached to the base plate 7 also a rigid, optimal guidance of the snowboard Guaranteed fixing of the boot 1 on the snowboard.

Das rückwärtige Bindungselement 9 kann unterschiedlich ausgestaltet und auch unterschiedlich an der Grundplatte 7 befestigt sein.The rear binding element 9 can be different configured and also different on the base plate 7 be attached.

Die Figuren 5 und 6 zeigen als mögliche Ausführungsform ein Bindungselement 9a, bei dem die beiden, jeweils als Gehäuse ausgebildeten Abschnittsbacken 13 über zwei Stahlbügel oder bügelartige Verbindungsstücke 19 miteinander verbunden und voneinander beabstandet, die auch die horizontale Fläche 12 bilden. Mit den Verbindungsstücken 19 ist das Bindungselement 9a beispielsweise direkt an der Grundplatte 7 angeschraubt.Figures 5 and 6 show a possible embodiment Binding element 9a, in which the two, each as a housing trained section jaws 13 via two steel brackets or bracket-like connectors 19 connected together and spaced from each other, which is also the horizontal surface 12 form. With the connecting pieces 19 is the binding element 9a, for example, screwed directly onto the base plate 7.

Hierfür wird eine Zwischen- oder Befestigungsplatte 30 verwendet, an deren einer Oberflächenseite zwei plattenförmige Lagerelemente 31 vorgesehen sind, von denen jedes einen Lagerzapfen oder einen Dorn 32 aufweist, der in eine Öffnung 33 eingreift, die im Verbindungsstück 19 zwischen den beiden Abstützbacken 13 vorgesehen ist. Die Öffnungen 33, die mit ihrer Achse parallel zur Längserstreckung der Grundplatte 7 liegen, besitzen einen Querschnitt, der größer ist als der Querschnitt der Dorne 32. Zwischen der Zwischenplatte 30 und der Unteseite des Verbindungselementes 19 ist ein Gummipuffer 34 angeordnet, das durch elastische Verformung eine gewisse Bewegung des Bindungselementes 9a relativ zur Grundplatte zuläßt, und zwar um einen Betrag, der durch das Spiel der Dorne 32 in den Öffnungen 33 vorgegeben ist.In the embodiment shown in FIGS. 7-10 the binding element 9a is not absolutely rigid, but with a certain possibility of movement on the base plate 7 attached. For this, an intermediate or mounting plate 30 used, on one surface side two plate-shaped bearing elements 31 are provided, of which each has a trunnion or mandrel 32 which is in an opening 33 engages in the connector 19th is provided between the two support jaws 13. The Openings 33 with their axis parallel to the longitudinal extent the base plate 7 have a cross section, which is larger than the cross section of the mandrels 32. Between the intermediate plate 30 and the underside of the connecting element 19 is a rubber buffer 34 is arranged due to elastic deformation a certain movement of the Allows binding element 9a relative to the base plate, namely by an amount equal to 32 through the play of the mandrels Openings 33 is predetermined.

Die Figuren 14 und 15 zeigen als bevorzugte Ausführungsform ein Bindungselement 9b, welches wiederum aus den beiden gehäuseartigen Abstützbacken 13 mit jeweils einem Schlitz 15 besteht. Anstelle des Verriegelungselementes 16 ist ein Verriegelungselement 16a vorgesehen. Die beiden Verriegelungselemente 16a, die bei dieser Ausführungsform drehungssicher auf der Welle 20 gehalten sind, sind jeweils durch eine Blattfeder 35 in die verriegelnde Stellung vorgespannt, in der jedes Verriegelungselement 16a mit seinem hakenartigen Abschnitt 21a aus dem gehäuseartigen Abstützbacken 13 an der Oberseite vorsteht und außerhalb des Abstützbackens 13 den betreffenden Schlitz 15 an seinem oberen, offenen Ende verschließt und dadurch einen im Schlitz 15 sitzenden Vorsprung 5 verriegelt. Weiterhin ist jedes Verriegelungselement 16a so ausgebildet, daß es beim Schwenken gegen die Wirkung der Feder 35 in die nicht verriegelnde Stellung in dieser Stellung mit dem hakenartigen Abschnitt 21a an der dem Bindungselement 8 abgewandten Seite des Schlitzes 15 liegt.FIGS. 14 and 15 show a preferred embodiment a binding element 9b, which in turn consists of the two housing-like support jaws 13, each with a slot 15 consists. Instead of the locking element 16 is a Locking element 16a provided. The two locking elements 16a, which in this embodiment is rotation-proof are held on the shaft 20, are each by a leaf spring 35 is biased into the locking position, in which each locking element 16a with its hook-like Section 21a from the housing-like support jaws 13 on the The top protrudes and outside the support jaw 13 den concerned slot 15 at its upper, open end closes and thereby one sitting in the slot 15 Latch 5 locked. Furthermore, each locking element 16a designed so that when pivoting against the Effect of the spring 35 in the non-locking position in this position with the hook-like section 21a on the Binding element 8 facing away from the slot 15.

An dem freien Ende des hakenförmigen Abschnittes 21a bildet jedes Verriegelungselement 16a eine Schrägfläche 36, die in einer parallel zur Achse der Welle 20 verlaufenden Ebene liegt, welche mit der Grundplatte 7 einen Winkel kleiner als 90o einschließt, der sich zur Rückseite, d.h. zu der dem Bindungselement 8 abgewandten Seite des Bindungselementes 9b öffnet. Zum Fixieren des Stiefels 1 in dieser Bindung 6a wird zunächst wiederum das vordere Ende des Stiefels 1 im Bügel 11 des Bindungselementes 8 eingeführt. Anschließend wird der Stiefel 1 mit seinem Absatz 4 nach unten bewegt, wobei sich die Vorsprünge 5 in etwa auf einem Kreisbogen um das vordere Ende des Bügels 11 bewegen und jeder Vorsprung hierbei gegen eine Schrägfläche 36 zur Anlage kommt. Beim weiteren nach Untenbewegen des Absatzbereiches des Stiefels 1 werden die Vorsprünge 5 unter federndem Ausweichen der Verriegelungselemente 16a in den jeweiligen Schlitz 15 eingeführt, so daß schließlich jedes Verriegelungselement 16a durch die Wirkung der Blattfeder 35 in die verriegelnde Stellung zurückschwenkt und dadurch diesen Vorsprung 5 in dem zugehörigen Schlitz 15 verriegelt.At the free end of the hook-shaped section 21a, each locking element 16a forms an inclined surface 36, which lies in a plane running parallel to the axis of the shaft 20, which includes an angle of less than 90 ° with the base plate 7, which is to the rear, ie to the opens the side of the binding element 9b facing away from the binding element 8. To fix the boot 1 in this binding 6a, the front end of the boot 1 is first inserted into the bracket 11 of the binding element 8. The boot 1 is then moved with its heel 4 downward, the projections 5 moving approximately in a circular arc around the front end of the bracket 11 and each projection coming to bear against an inclined surface 36. Upon further downward movement of the heel area of the boot 1, the projections 5 are inserted into the respective slot 15 with resilient evasion of the locking elements 16a, so that finally each locking element 16a pivots back into the locking position by the action of the leaf spring 35 and thereby this projection 5 in the associated slot 15 locked.

Auch bei dem Bindungselement 9a liegt die Achse der Welle 20 sowie die Längserstreckung jedes Schlitzes 15 in der Ebene E, die die unbeschriebene Neigung besitzt. Zum Öffnen der Bindung werden die beiden Verriegelungselemente 16a über den Betätigungshebel 27 und die Welle 20 in die entriegelnde Stellung geschwenkt.The axis of the shaft 20 also lies in the binding element 9a and the longitudinal extent of each slot 15 in the plane E, which has the unwritten tendency. To open the Binding, the two locking elements 16a over the Actuating lever 27 and the shaft 20 in the unlocking Position swiveled.

Die Bindung 6a bzw. dessen Bindungselement 9b zeichnen sich durch eine äußerst einfache und daher sehr zuverlässige Konstruktion aus. Auf eine Vielzahl von Elementen ist bei den Verriegelungseinrichtungen verzichtet. Diese sind vielmehr im wesentlichen auf die hakenartigen Verriegelungselemente 16a reduziert.The binding 6a and its binding element 9b stand out through an extremely simple and therefore very reliable Construction. There is a multitude of elements in the Locking devices dispensed with. Rather, these are in the essentially on the hook-like locking elements 16a reduced.
