    • Beim Ausführungsbeispiel für eine Snowboardbindung nach Fig. 1 und 2 ist eine um eine freistehende Nabe 34, 35 verdrehbare Bindungsplatte 19 vorgesehen. Die Nabe 34, 35 besteht aus einer fest mit dem Snowboard verbundenen Scheibe 34, deren Längsposition durch in Langlöcher 39 eingreifende Schrauben festgelegt wird, und aus einem auf der Scheibe 34 befestigten Deckel 35. Der Deckel 35 ist zur Einstellung der gewünschten schrägen Fahrposition gegenüber der Scheibe 34 in einem Winkelbereich dadurch schwenkbar, dass in ein kurvenförmiges Langloch 37 eine Schraube 38 eingreift, durch deren Andrehen der Deckel 35 gegenüber der Scheibe 34 angepresst und damit in der gewollten Winkellage festgelegt wird. In the embodiment for a snowboard binding according to FIG. 1 and 2 is a binding plate 19 rotatable about a free-standing hub 34, 35 intended. The hub 34, 35 consists of a fixedly connected to the snowboard Disc 34, the longitudinal position of which engages in elongated holes 39 Screws is fixed, and one attached to the disc 34 Lid 35. The lid 35 is for setting the desired oblique Driving position in relation to the disc 34 in an angular range pivotable that a screw 38 engages in a curved slot 37, by turning the cover 35 pressed against the disc 34 and is thus determined in the desired angular position.

    Auf der Bindungsträgerplatte 19 sind Bindungskörper 1 und 5 angeordnet. Der in Fig. 1 gezeigte Bindungsteil wirkt mit der Bindungsträgerplatte 19 gemäss Fig. 2 in der Weise zusammen, dass die Bindungskörper 1 und 5 unter Formschluss auf die Bindungsträgerplatte 19 aufgeschoben sind. Die Bindungsträgerplatte 19 ist durch die Nabenteile 34 und 35 drehbar mit dem Snowboard verbunden.Binding bodies 1 and 5 are arranged on the binding carrier plate 19. The binding part shown in FIG. 1 acts with the binding carrier plate 19 2 together in such a way that the binding body 1 and 5 under Form fit are pushed onto the binding carrier plate 19. The binding carrier plate 19 is rotatable with the hub parts 34 and 35 Connected snowboard.

    Der Bindungskörper 1 ist gegenüber der Bindungsträgerplatte 19 festgelegt, was durch eine Schraube 45 geschieht, die in ein Schraubenloch 43 in dem Bindungskörper 1 und mit ihrer Spitze in eines von mehreren Löchern 44 in der Bindungsträgerplatte 19 eingreift.The binding body 1 is opposite the binding carrier plate 19 set what happens through a screw 45, which in a screw hole 43rd in the binding body 1 and with its tip in one of several holes 44 engages in the binding carrier plate 19.

    Der Bindungskörper 5 ist gegenüber der Bindungsträgerplatte 19 verschiebbar und trägt einen Haltebügel 29. Dieser wird dadurch in eine aufrechte Position gebracht, dass seine Endschenkel 30 und 31 in versetzt zueinander angeordnete Bohrungen 30a bzw. 31a eingreifen. Die Endposition des Haltebügels 29 wird dadurch bestimmt, dass der Haltebügel 29 an Anschlagflächen 32 anliegt, die in einer auf dem Bindungskörper 5 befestigten Auflagerplatte 26 ausgebildet sind.The binding body 5 is opposite the binding carrier plate 19 slidably and carries a bracket 29. This is thereby an upright Positioned that his end legs 30 and 31 in offset from each other engage arranged bores 30a or 31a. The end position of the Retaining bracket 29 is determined in that the retaining bracket 29 on stop surfaces 32 abuts, which is fixed in a support plate on the binding body 5 26 are formed.

    In ähnlicher Weise ist der Haltebügel 28 auf dem Bindungskörper 1 angeordnet. Auch hier sind Anschlagflächen 34 in einer Auflagerplatte 27 angeordnet.In a similar manner, the holding bracket 28 is on the binding body 1 arranged. Stop surfaces 34 are also arranged in a support plate 27 here.

    Der verschiebbare Bindungskörper 5 ist mit dem gegenüber dem Snowboard festgelegten Deckel 35 durch ein Element 36 in Form einer Zug- und Druckstange verbunden. Das der Befestigungsstelle am Bindungskörper 5 gegenüberliegende Ende des Elements 36 ist exzentrisch am Deckel 35 gelagert. Beim Verdrehen der Bindungsträgerplatte 19 gegenüber der feststehenden Nabe 34, 35 in Richtung des Pfeils A wird wegen der Exzentrizität der Anlenkung des Elements 36 der Bindungskörper 5 in Richtung des Pfeils B bewegt, wodurch der Abstand zwischen den Bindungskörpern 1 und 5 verändert wird. The slidable binding body 5 is opposite to that Snowboard fixed lid 35 by an element 36 in the form of a train and Push rod connected. The attachment point on the binding body 5 opposite end of the element 36 is mounted eccentrically on the cover 35. When the binding carrier plate 19 is rotated relative to the fixed one Hub 34, 35 in the direction of arrow A is because of the eccentricity of the linkage of the element 36, the binding body 5 moves in the direction of the arrow B, whereby the distance between the binding bodies 1 and 5 changes becomes.

    In Fig. 1 ist die Stellung der Bindung gezeigt, bei der ein minimaler Abstand zwischen den Bindungskörpern 1 und 5 vorhanden ist. Es ist nicht erforderlich, dass das Element in dieser Position in Längsrichtung der Bindung ausgerichtet ist, vielmehr kann der minimale Abstand auch bei einem schräg verlaufenden Element 36 hergestellt sein.In Fig. 1 the position of the binding is shown, at which a minimal Distance between the binding bodies 1 and 5 is present. It is not necessary, that the element is in this position in the longitudinal direction of the binding is aligned, rather the minimum distance can be inclined extending element 36 be made.

    Zum Fixieren der Bindung an der Fahrposition dient der federnd nach unten gedrückte Rasthebel 40, der in eine Kerbe 40 eines an der Bindungsträgerplatte 19 seitlich befestigten Rastgliedes 41 eingreift. Am Ende des Rasthebels 40 befindet sich eine Öse 43, in welcher eine das Anheben des Rasthebels 40 bewirkende Handhabe (z.B. Sicherheitsriemen) befestigt sein kann.The spring is used to fix the binding to the driving position downward pressed locking lever 40, which in a notch 40 one on the binding support plate 19 engages laterally attached locking member 41. At the end of Locking lever 40 is an eyelet 43, in which the lifting of the Locking lever 40 causing handle (e.g. safety strap) can.

    Fig. 3 zeigt eine weitere Ausgestaltung der vorliegenden Erfindung. Die dargestellte Bindung, die insbesondere für Snowboards nützlich ist, wird durch die Langlöcher 67 der Grundplatte 51 durch Schrauben am Board befestigt. Unterhalb der zentralen Bohrung 66 ist eine durch eine Verzahnung drehgesicherte Schraubenmutter 52 mit der Bohrung 68 mit einem Innengewinde angeordnet. Über der Grundplatte, die eine Verzahnung aufweist, ist die Nabenplatte 50, durch die Verzahnung 66 gesichert aufgesetzt. Die Nabenplatte 50 liegt vor und hinter der Grundplatte auf dem Sportgerät auf. Zur Verbesserung des Komfortes, zur Dämpfung von Schwingungen und zur Stabilisierung der Bindung, sind unter der Platte 50, vor und hinter der Grundplatte 51, Dämpfungselemente 63 aus einem Elastomer vorgesehen, die in eine entsprechende Nut (nicht dargestellt) in der Platte 50 eingelegt oder eingeklebt sein können. Hier ist wiederum eine zentrale Bohrung 65 vorhanden, welche der Befestigung dient. Darüber befindet sich die Bindungsträgerplatte 55, welche mittels des Deckels 54 und der Schraube 53 an der Befestigungsplatte 51 drehbar verschraubt wird.3 shows a further embodiment of the present invention. The binding shown, which is particularly useful for snowboards, will through the elongated holes 67 of the base plate 51 attached to the board by screws. Below the central bore 66 is a rotation-locked by a toothing Screw nut 52 with bore 68 with an internal thread arranged. The hub plate is above the base plate, which has teeth 50, secured by the toothing 66. The hub plate 50 lies in front of and behind the base plate on the sports equipment. For improvement of comfort, for damping vibrations and for stabilization the binding, are under the plate 50, in front of and behind the base plate 51, Damping elements 63 made of an elastomer provided in a corresponding Groove (not shown) can be inserted or glued into the plate 50 can. Here again there is a central bore 65, which is the Attachment serves. Above it is the binding carrier plate 55, which by means of the cover 54 and the screw 53 on the fastening plate 51 is rotatably screwed.

Das Greifmittel 73 des Zug- und/oder Schubkräfte aufnehmenden Elements 60 greift ständig in die Führungsnut 72 des Nabenkörpers ein. Da die Führungsnut 72 eine Führungsfläche aufweist, wird dem Element 60 eine Längsbewegung aufgezwungen, indem ein Druck bzw. Zug auf das Greifmittel 73 ausgeübt wird, welche Bewegung für die Verschlussfunktion der Bindung verantwortlich ist.The cover 54, which is part of the rotary hub for the binding carrier plate 55, has an attachment opening 71 for a permanent one Attachment of the locking member 62. The locking member 62 is intended in the To engage guide slot 70 of the binding carrier plate. Through the locking member the angle of rotation of the binding carrier plate is restricted to the desired range and allows by means of a notch within the guide slot 70 snapping into the driving position. In the present embodiment, the front binding body 56 by the tensile and / or shear forces absorbing Element 60 and the set screw 61 during the rotational movement of a Subject to longitudinal displacement. The gripping means 73 of the tensile and / or pushing forces receiving element 60 constantly engages in the guide groove 72 of the hub body on. Since the guide groove 72 has a guide surface, the Element 60 forced longitudinal movement by a push or pull is exerted on the gripping means 73, which movement for the closure function the bond is responsible.

    Das Rastmittel 62 der oben dargestellten Bindung kann, wie in der Ausführungsform gemäss Figur 1, mit einer Öse versehen sein, welche für die Befestigung eines Sicherheitsriemens dient. Bei einer solchen Anordnung kann die Bindung durch einen Zug am Sicherheitsriemen auf einfache und bequeme Art geöffnet werden.The locking means 62 of the binding shown above can, as in the Embodiment according to Figure 1, be provided with an eyelet for the Attachment of a safety strap is used. With such an arrangement the binding by a pull on the safety strap on simple and convenient Kind of be opened.

    offen" in die Position geschlossen" ein Widerstand zu überwinden ist. Dadurch dreht sich die Bindung beim Öffnen durch die Federkraft wiederum in ihre Ausgangsposition zurück. The hub and the binding carrier plate can be connected to a spiral spring so that when the binding carrier plate rotates from position
    Figure 00050001
    open "in the position closed "resistance has to be overcome. As a result, the binding rotates back to its starting position when opened by the spring force.

    Die Funktionsweise der in den Fig. 1 bis 3 gezeigten Bindungen ist folgende:The operation of the bindings shown in Figs. 1 to 3 is the following:

    Wenn der Benützer aus der Bindung aussteigt, dann haben die Bindungskörper 1 und 5 einen Abstand, der das Aussteigen ermöglicht. In dieser Position verbleibt die Bindung für ein neuerliches Einsteigen. Beim Einsteigen wird der Haltebügel 29 unter elastischer Verformung weggedrückt und schwenkt nach Aufsetzen des Schuhs auf der Auflageplatte 26 in seine aufrechte Ausgangsposition zurück. Durch Drehen des Schuhs zusammen mit der Bindung, was unter Anlage der Seitenflächen des Schuhs an den Schenkeln der Haltebügel 28 und 29 erfolgt, wird unter der Einwirkung des Elements 36 der Bindungskörper 5 in Richtung auf den Bindungskörper 1 bewegt. Diese Drehung des Schuhs mit der Bindung erfolgt so lange, bis die Haltebügel 28 und 29 in die entsprechenden Kerben am Schuh eingreifen und damit der Schuh in der Bindung fixiert ist.If the user gets out of the binding, then the binding bodies have 1 and 5 a distance that allows getting out. In this Position remains the binding for a new entry. While entering the bracket 29 is pushed away with elastic deformation and pivots after placing the shoe on the support plate 26 in its upright position Starting position back. By turning the shoe together with the Binding what is under the side surfaces of the shoe on the thighs the bracket 28 and 29 takes place under the action of the element 36th the binding body 5 moves in the direction of the binding body 1. This The shoe with the binding is rotated until the holding bracket 28 and 29 engage in the corresponding notches on the shoe and thus the Shoe is fixed in the binding.

    Bei einem Fehleinstieg wird die Bindung durch den Schuh oder durch die Kraft einer gegebenenfalls vorhandenen Feder wieder zurückgedreht und der Einstieg in die geöffnete Bindung wird von neuem versucht. Die Verrastung der Bindung in der Fahrposition erfolgt erst dann, wenn ein ordnungsgemässer Einstieg in die Bindung erfolgt ist.In the event of an incorrect entry, the binding is caused by the shoe or rotated back by the force of a spring, if any and an attempt is made to enter the opened binding again. The latch the binding in the driving position only takes place when a proper Entry into binding has been made.

    Die Figuren 4 und 5 zeigen einen Mechanismus, mit welchem eine Drehbewegung der Bindungsträgerplatte 101 bezüglich einer fest auf einem Sportgerät montierten Grundplatte 100, die einen Nabenkörper darstellt, eine Längsbewegung eines Zug- und/oder Schubkräfte aufnehmenden Elementes 107 in Längsrichtung bezüglich der Trägerplatte 101 bewirkt. In Fig. 4 befindet sich die Bindungsträgerplatte 101 bezüglich der Grundplatte in einem Winkel α. Die Platte 101 weist eine zentrale kreisrunde Öffnung 110 auf, in deren Mitte sich der durch eine Schraube 103 verkörperte Drehpunkt der Bindungsträgerplatte befindet. Innerhalb der Öffnung 110 ist der Blick auf die Grundplatte 100 frei. An der Peripherie dieser Öffnung 110 befindet sich eine Zahnung 105. Auf der Grundplatte 100 ist ein Zahnradsegment 102 angeordnet, dessen Radius die Hälfte des Radius der Öffnung 110 beträgt. Der Drehpunkt des Zahnradsegmentes 102, dessen Zähne 106 in die Zahnung 105 der Trägerplatte 101 eingreifen, befindet sich in der Mitte des Radius der Öffnung 110 auf dem Nabenkörper 100. An einer Kurbel 108, die sich an der Peripherie des Zahnradsegmentes befindet, ist das Zug- und/oder Schubkräfte aufnehmende Element 107 befestigt. In der offenen Position der Bindung befindet sich die Kurbel 108 möglichst nahe am Teilkreisdurchmesser. Dies ist die Position, durch welche der Drehpunkt 104 des Zahnradsegmentes 102 festgelegt wird. Er befindet sich in der Mitte des Radius der Öffnung 110, welcher durch das Element 107 in offener Position (Winkel der Bindungsträgerplatte = α) bestimmt wird, in welcher die Drehpunkte 103 und 108 sich auf einer zur Trägerplatte parallelen Geraden befinden, die der Ausrichtung des Elementes 107 entspricht.Figures 4 and 5 show a mechanism by which one Rotational movement of the binding carrier plate 101 with respect to one firmly on one Sports equipment-mounted base plate 100, which represents a hub body, a Longitudinal movement of an element absorbing tensile and / or shear forces 107 caused in the longitudinal direction with respect to the carrier plate 101. 4 is located the binding carrier plate 101 is at an angle with respect to the base plate α. The plate 101 has a central circular opening 110 in the middle the pivot point of the binding carrier plate embodied by a screw 103 located. Inside the opening 110 is a view of the base plate 100 free. There is a toothing 105 on the periphery of this opening 110 The base plate 100 has a gear segment 102 whose radius is half the radius of the opening 110. The fulcrum of the gear segment 102, whose teeth 106 into the teeth 105 of the carrier plate 101 intervention, is located at the center of the radius of the opening 110 on the hub body 100. On a crank 108 located on the periphery of the gear segment is the element 107 absorbing tensile and / or shear forces attached. Crank 108 is in the open position of the binding as close as possible to the pitch circle diameter. This is the position by which the fulcrum 104 of the gear segment 102 is set. He is in the middle of the radius of the opening 110, which is defined by the element 107 in open position (angle of the binding carrier plate = α) is determined in which the pivot points 103 and 108 are on a straight line parallel to the carrier plate are located, which corresponds to the orientation of the element 107.

    Bewegt man nun die Bindungsträgerplatte 101 gemäss der Darstellung in Fig. 1 im Uhrzeigersinn, wird durch die Verzahnung 105 das Zahnsegment 102 bewegt, wobei sich die Kurbel 108 in Richtung des Zentrums 103 der Öffnung 110 bewegt. Wenn das Grössenverhältnis des Radius des Zahnsegmentes 102 zu demjenigen der Öffnung 110 1:2 beträgt, dann bewegt sich bei einer Bewegung die Kurbel 108 bezüglich der Bindungsträgerplatte 101 auf einer geraden Linie. Bei einer weiteren Drehung der Bindungsträgerpatte 101 gelangt man zur Position, die in Fig. 5 dargestellt ist. Hier befinden sich die Bindungsträgerplatte 101 und die Grundplatte 100 in einer parallelen Position. In dieser Stellung hat die Kurbel 108, an welcher das Element 107 befestigt ist, eine Position neben dem Drehpunkt 103 der Öffnung 110. In dieser Position befindet sich ein Bindungskörper (nicht dargestellt), welcher mit dem Element 107 verbunden ist, in einer in Richtung des Drehpunktes 103 verschobenen Position. Diese Position verkörpert die Fixierungsposition, da hier die beiden Bindungskörper in der vorliegenden Konstellation den kleinsten Abstand aufweisen. Der beschriebene Mechanismus erlaubt eine sichere Übertragung der Drehbewegung in eine Längsbewegung, durch welche der Schuh fixiert bzw. freigegeben werden kann. Der Mechanismus arbeitet nach dem Prinzip der Kardangetriebekurbel. Er kann in der in Fig. 3 dargestellten Ausführungsform zum Einsatz gelangen. Auch bei der durch die Fig. 4 und 5 offenbarten Ausführungsform wird die Drehachse der Bindungsträgerplatte durch einen Deckel bestimmt, der dem Deckel 54 in Fig. 3 entspricht. Dieser wird mittels einer Schraube am Drehpunkt 103 befestigt, wobei die Führung durch den Rand 111 erfolgt. Zur Arretierung kann ebenfalls ein Rastelement analog wie in Fig. 3 zum Einsatz gelangen.Now move the binding carrier plate 101 as shown 1 in clockwise direction, the toothed segment 105 becomes the toothed segment 102 moves, the crank 108 in the direction of the center 103 of the Opening 110 moves. If the size ratio of the radius of the tooth segment 102 to that of the opening 110 is 1: 2, then moves at move the crank 108 with respect to the binding carrier plate 101 a straight line. Upon further rotation of the binding carrier plate 101 one arrives at the position shown in FIG. 5. Here are the Binding carrier plate 101 and the base plate 100 in a parallel position. In this position, the crank 108 to which the element 107 is attached has a position next to the pivot point 103 of the opening 110. In this position there is a binding body (not shown), which with the element 107 is connected, in a direction displaced in the direction of the pivot point 103 Position. This position embodies the fixation position, since here the two Binding bodies in the present constellation have the smallest distance. The mechanism described allows a secure transmission of Rotational movement into a longitudinal movement, through which the shoe is fixed or can be released. The mechanism works on the principle of Cardan gear crank. It can in the embodiment shown in FIG. 3 are used. Also in the embodiment disclosed by FIGS. 4 and 5 the axis of rotation of the binding carrier plate is covered by a cover determined, which corresponds to the lid 54 in Fig. 3. This is done using a Screw attached to pivot point 103, the guide through the edge 111th he follows. A locking element similar to that in FIG. 3 can also be used for locking are used.

    Vorstehend sind Bindungen beschrieben worden, in denen nur ein verschiebbarer Bindungskörper 5 vorhanden ist und daher auch nur dieser Bindungskörper über das Element 36 mit der Nabe 34, 35 verbunden ist. Es ist aber auch möglich, dass beide Bindungskörper 1 und 5 gegenüber der Bindungsträgerplatte 19 verschiebbar sind und dass jeder der beiden Bindungskörper durch ein eigenes, exzentrisch an der Nabe angreifendes Element beaufschlagt wird.Binding has been described above in which only one Slidable binding body 5 is present and therefore only this binding body is connected to the hub 34, 35 via the element 36. It is but also possible that both binding bodies 1 and 5 with respect to the binding carrier plate 19 are displaceable and that each of the two binding bodies acted upon by its own element, which acts eccentrically on the hub becomes.

    Bei den Ausführungsbeispielen wird als Element 36 eine Druck- und Zugstange verwendet. Es ist aber auch möglich, dass für die Verringerung des Abstandes zwischen den Bindungskörpern ein reines Zugglied z.B. in Form eines Seils, verwendet wird, welches natürlich ebenfalls aussermittig an der Nabe angebracht sein muss. In diesem Falle ist es aber erforderlich, dass zur Vergrösserung des Abstandes der Bindungskörper eigene mechanische Mittel, z.B. Federn, eingesetzt werden.In the exemplary embodiments, a pressure and Drawbar used. But it is also possible that for the reduction of the Distance between the binding bodies a pure tension member e.g. in shape a rope, which is of course also off-center on the Hub must be attached. In this case, however, it is necessary to Increasing the distance between the binding bodies own mechanical means, e.g. Springs.

    Bei den in den Fig. 1 bis 3 beschriebenen Ausführungsbeispielen erfolgt die Fixierung des Schuhs dadurch, dass die Bindungskörper gegeneinander verschoben werden und dadurch die Haltebügel in den Schuh eingreifen. Alternativ kann jedoch das Element 36 ebenfalls auf Klemmbacken oder andere Schuhbefestigungsmittel einwirken, derart, dass die Schuhe in der gewünschten Position auf dem Snowboard fixiert werden. Als Schuhe konnten dabei auch speziell angepasste Softboots verwendet werden oder aber die Klemmbacken könnten einen Anpassungsteil für die Aufnahme von Softboots auf der Bindung fixieren.In the exemplary embodiments described in FIGS. 1 to 3 the shoe is fixed in that the binding body against each other be moved and thereby engage the retaining bracket in the shoe. Alternatively, however, element 36 may also be on jaws or others Shoe fasteners act in such a way that the shoes in the desired Position on the snowboard. When shoes could specially adapted soft boots are used or the Clamping jaws could be an adjustment part for accommodating soft boots fix on the binding.

    Die erfindungsgemässe Bindung kann für alle Arten von Sportgeräten verwendet werden, bei welchen Schuhe daran befestigt werden müssen. Es kann somit auch eine Verwendung der Bindung für Rollschuhe ins Auge gefasst werden, wobei der Rollenteil auf eine einfache Art entfernt und wieder montiert werden kann.The binding according to the invention can be used for all types of sports equipment which shoes need to be attached to it. It can thus also contemplating using the binding for roller skates with the roller part removed and reassembled in a simple manner can be.
