- the task according to the invention is solved in that the haheteilc are formed by side walls and in that a pivotable spring clip is arranged on the binding. whose ends b / w elements connected to the ends, such as bolts or the like, protrude inward through essentially horizontal holes in the rare walls, a shoe with the binding through the ends of the spring clip or associated elements, such as bolts or It is adjustable and can be unlocked again by pivoting the spring clip.
- the side area is used to test the binding area, which makes it easier to place the shoe exactly in the binding.
- the spring clip When you step into the binding, the spring clip is pressed apart and the ends of the spring clip or those connected to it snap into place Elements such as bolts or the like in the devices provided for this purpose and thus lock the shoe with the binding.
- the spring clip v is pivoted. preferably pressed down and then the spring clip is pressed apart by a corresponding design of the side walls and thus the ends of the spring clip or the associated elements such as bolts or the like are pulled out of the locking device of the shoe, whereupon the shoe is unlocked and the snowboarder from the binding can rise
- the spring clip is preferably connected at the point which protrudes the most from the binding with a preferably upward-pointing bracket or the like, or is designed as such.
- the bracket or the like actuates the spring clip to unlock the shoe in the Binding facilitated
- the stirrup or the like will protrude as far as possible so that the snowboarder has to bend as little as possible when exiting the binding.
- the spring clip can be moved in the longitudinal direction to adapt to the shoe size, the spring clip can serve as a further positioning aid when getting into the binding.
- the spring clip exactly matched to the shoe size can engage in a notch or the like provided for example in the shoe.
- an elastic material can be placed between the binding plate and the base plate or the surface of the snowboard. e.g. be arranged in the form of an O-ring. This achieves a three-dimensional mobility of the binding relative to the base plate or snowboard, which has a positive effect on the driving characteristics.
- the elasticity of the interposed material can be adjusted by several adjusting screws arranged between the binding plate and the base plate or the surface of the snowboard for the adjustable connection of the distance between the binding plate and the base plate or surface of the snowboard. This measure allows the mobility in different spatial directions to be optimized in order to optimize the driving properties.
- the object according to the invention is also achieved by a shoe and a binding with the above-mentioned features, the assembly unit (“interface”) extending at least partially conically outwards from the center region of the shoe sole and essentially having horizontal holes or the like on the side. to lock the shoe with a
- Has bond The zone formed by the assembly unit made of harder material makes it easier to get into a binding which is designed with corresponding means for snapping into the devices provided on the shoe. Because the
- the assembly unit runs only in the middle area of the sole, the sole can be made soft in the front and rear area, which increases the comfort when walking.
- the hard zone on the shoe enables a firm connection to the binding.
- the material of the assembly unit can also be identical to that of the protective body and thus have the same hardness.
- the assembly unit is connected to one or more buckles of the shoe. Additional advantages with regard to the stability of the shoe can be achieved if the assembly unit is preferably connected in an articulated manner to a cuff or the like made of preferably harder material than the shoe koi
- the best and simplest solution to the task according to the invention is a combination of the binding and the shoe for snowboards, each with at least one of the preceding features, the ends of the spring clip or associated elements such as bolts or the like being in a position of the spring clip in the holes protrude in the assembly unit of the shoe to lock the shoe with the binding and that the ends of the spring clip or associated elements such as bolts or the like by pivoting the spring clip out of this position from the holes in the shoe assembly unit to unlock the shoe
- the binding can be deflected L s apply the advantages already mentioned above
- Fig. 1 the binding according to the invention in perspective A.ns ⁇ ch ⁇ .
- Fig. 2 shows a slightly modified form of the binding in side view
- 3a and 3b a snowboard binding in a lateral sectional view. 4 shows the binding with the shoe in side view, and
- the snowboard binding according to FIG. 1 has a spring clip 1 which is closed around the heel area.
- the spring clip 1 could also be closed around the toe region.
- the side walls 3 are fastened or welded to the binding plate 5 or the like, the binding plate 5 and the side walls 3 are made from one piece.
- the side walls 3 form a guide for the shoe and make it easier to get in and correctly position the shoe in the binding. Getting in is made even easier if the side walls 3 at least in the The upper section tapering apart upwards
- the part of the spring clip 1 which protrudes the furthest from the binding is designed in the form of a bow egg 9.
- this clip 9, which serves to actuate the spring clip 1 can also be arranged laterally, but advantageously it is located at the highest point of the spring clip 1. In order to make the actuation of the same as comfortable as possible.
- a corresponding element can also be connected to the spring clip 1.
- the binding plate 5 is connected to a base plate 6 via a central fastening screw 7 could bind gsplaUe 5 can also be screwed directly to the surface of the snowboard. Instead of screw 7, other fastening means are of course also possible.
- So-called set screws 8 are used for the adjustable connection of the distance between the binding plate 5 and the base plate 6 or surface of the snowboard 3a and 3b explained.
- the part of the spring clip designed as clip 9 can 1 serve as a further positioning aid when getting in.
- the shoe is inserted into the heel
- the guide thus formed is positioned and then fixed to the binding by tilting the shoe forward
- 3a and 3b show two embodiments of the snowboard binding according to the invention in section from the side.
- an elastic material in the form of an O-ring 10 V
- the binding plate 5 is mounted directly on the surface of the snowboard
- the elastic material can also be arranged between the binding plate 5 and the snowboard surface. This measure allows a slight three-dimensional mobility between the binding and the base plate 6 or the surface of the snowboard.
- the central fastening screw 7 for fastening the binding plate 5 with the base plate 6 is located in the middle of the O-rings 10 By adjusting the screw 7 or similar fastening means, the elasticity of the material of the O-ring 10 can be changed by the set screws 8 between the binding plate 5 and the base plate 6 or the surface of the snowboard.
- the movement of the binding plate 5 relative to the base plate 6 or the surface of the snowboard can be adjusted depending on the direction, which can be advantageous for the driving properties.
- the O-ring 10 has one opposite the O-ring 10 from FIG. 3a has a different cross-section in the shape of a cone
- 1 ig 4 shows the binding with a shoe in a side view.
- the shoe body 11 is with a mounting unit ⁇ . Interface ") 12 is preferably made of a harder material than the shoe body 11, which extends in the central zone of the sole 14 and runs upwards on both sides of the shoe.
- the assembly unit 12 has essentially horizontal holes 13 through which the ends 2 the spring clip 1 or connected elements such as bolts 2 " or the like engage and lock the shoe in the binding.
- the laterally conical mounting unit 12 makes it easier to get into the binding. When getting into the binding, the bolts 2 are on the spring clip 1 is pressed apart and the spring clip 1 jumps upwards as a result of the tension, while at the same time the bolts 2 * snap into the holes 13 in the assembly unit 12.
