Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf eine Snowboardbindung gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Patenanspruches 1. Eine solche Snowboardbindung ist aus der WO 00/76602 A2 bekannt. Dort ist eine Snowboardbindung mit einer Grundplatte gezeigt, die auf der Oberfläche eines Snowboards angeschraubt wird und zwei seitlich hochstehende Seitenwangen hat. An diese Seitenwangen sind zwei Riemen befestigt, von denen der eine den Rist und der andere den Zehenbereich eines in die Bindung einsetzbaren Stiefels übergreift. Beide Riemen sind dabei über Seilzüge mit beiden Seitenwangen verbunden und mittels eines Spannelementes, das die Seilzüge auf einen Wickeldorn aufwickelt, spannbar, wodurch die wirksame Länge der den Stiefel übergreifenden Riemen justierbar ist. Die Seilzüge sind unter Bildung beidseitiger Schlaufen je zweifach über die Riemen geführt und das Spannelement ist am jeweiligen Riemen befestigt.The invention relates to a snowboard binding according to the preamble of claim 1. Such one Snowboard binding is known from WO 00/76602 A2. There a snowboard binding with a base plate is shown, which is screwed onto the surface of a snowboard and has two side uprights. To this Sidewalls are attached to two straps, one of which is the one the instep and the other the toe area one in the binding insertable boots overlaps. Both straps are connected to both side panels via cables and by means of a tensioning element that the cables on winds up a mandrel, tensionable, making the effective Adjustable length of the straps across the boots is. The cables are loops on both sides guided twice over the straps and the tensioning element is attached to the respective strap.

Bei der DE 91 13 766 U1 und der US 5,727,797 sind die Riemen über einen Ratschenmechanismus und Zahnriemen mit den Seitenwangen verbunden und mittels des Ratschenmechanismus spannbar.In DE 91 13 766 U1 and US 5,727,797 the belts are via a ratchet mechanism and toothed belt with the Sidewalls connected and by means of the ratchet mechanism tensioned.

Aus der US 5,556,123 und der US 5,971,423 (Fig. 13) ist es bekannt, statt zweier Riemen, die den Schuh übergreifen, ein einziges Ristelement zu verwenden, das sich vom Zehenbereich bis zum Ristbereich des Stiefels erstreckt. Die Verbindung dieses Ristelementes mit der Grundplatte erfolgt über Seilzüge, die entweder das Ristelement vollständig übergreifen (US 5,556,123) oder nahe den Seitenkanten des Ristelementes angebracht sind (US 5,971,423). Bei beiden Schriften sind die Seilzüge mit einem schwenkbar an der Grundplatte angelenkten Fersenelement (sog. Highback) verbunden und über zusätzliche Mittel, wie eine Spannschraube oder einen verstellbaren Zahnriemen, in ihrer Länge justierbar. Das eigentliche Spannen der Seilzüge erfolgt dort durch Verschwenken des Fersenelementes.From US 5,556,123 and US 5,971,423 (Fig. 13) it is known, instead of two straps that overlap the shoe, to use a single instep element that differs from the Toe area extends to the instep area of the boot. The connection of this instep element to the base plate takes place via cable pulls, which are either the instep element completely overlap (US 5,556,123) or near the Side edges of the instep element are attached (US 5,971,423). The cables are in both fonts with a heel element pivotably articulated on the base plate (so-called highback) connected and via additional Means such as a turnbuckle or an adjustable one Timing belt, adjustable in length. The real thing The cables are tensioned there by swiveling the Heel element.

Die Einstellung der Lage und damit der wirksamen Länge des Ristriemens ist in der Praxis mühsam und kann entweder nicht feinfühlig genug durchgeführt werden oder erfordert mehrere Einstellvorgänge. Andererseits ist es Wunsch vieler Fahrer, nach einer Abfahrt die Bindung, d.h. den Ristriemen zu lockern, aber trotzdem, beispielsweise für die Auffahrt in einem Schlepplift, noch fest genug in der Bindung gehalten zu sein, was mit den oben beschriebenen bekannten Bindungen schwer durchzuführen ist und zumindest dann sehr umständlich.The setting of the position and thus the effective length the instep belt is tedious in practice and can either cannot be performed sensitively enough or required several adjustments. On the other hand, it is the wish of many Driver, the binding after a departure, i.e. the instep to loosen, but still, for example for the driveway in a drag lift, still tight enough in the binding to be what with the known bonds described above is difficult to carry out and at least then very cumbersome.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es daher, die eingangs beschriebene Snowboardbindung dahingehend zu verbessern, daß ein feinfühliges Einstellen der wirksamen Länge des Ristriemens einfach möglich ist.The object of the invention is therefore the one described at the outset To improve snowboard binding in that a sensitive adjustment of the effective length of the instep belt is easily possible.

Diese Aufgabe wird durch die im Patentanspruch 1 angegebenen Merkmale gelöst. Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen und Weiterbildungen der Erfindung sind den Unteransprüchen zu entnehmen.This object is achieved by the specified in claim 1 Features solved. Advantageous configurations and Developments of the invention are the subclaims refer to.

Das Grundprinzip der Erfindung liegt darin, ein einziges Ristelement pro Stiefel mit mehreren, insbesondere mindestens zwei Spannseilen zu fixieren, aber trotzdem nur eine einzige Spannvorrichtung zu verwenden, die unabhängig vom Fersenelement ist. Mit der einzigen Spannvorrichtung kann das Ristelement in einem Arbeitsgang gespannt oder gelockert werden. Die durch das Fersenelement bestimmte Vorlage wird dadurch nicht verändert.The basic principle of the invention is one Instep element per boot with several, in particular at least to fix two tension ropes, but still only one To use clamping device which is independent of Heel element is. With the single jig the instep element tensioned or loosened in one operation become. The template determined by the heel element becomes not changed by this.

Nach einer Ausgestaltung der Erfindung hat die Spannvorrichtung einen drehbaren Wickeldorn, auf den die Zugseile aufgewickelt werden. Durch geeignete Dimensionierung des Wickeldornes und eines damit gekoppelten Drehknopfes kann ein Übersetzungsverhältnis gewählt werden, da es bei geringem Kraftaufwand durch den Benutzer hohe Spannkräfte ermöglicht. Als Spannvorrichtung kann aber auch ein schwenkbarer Hebel mit mehreren Haken verwendet werden, in die die Zugseile einhängbar sind. Von Vorteil ist es dabei, wenn die Zugseile dann unter Bildung einer Schlaufe miteinander verbunden sind und diese Schlaufe in die Spannvorrichtung eingehängt wird.According to one embodiment of the invention, the clamping device a rotating winding mandrel on which the traction ropes be wound up. By appropriate dimensioning of the Winding mandrel and a rotary knob coupled to it a gear ratio can be chosen because it is low Force required by the user enables high clamping forces. A pivotable lever can also be used as a tensioning device can be used with multiple hooks into which the pulling ropes are attachable. It is advantageous if the pulling ropes then connected together to form a loop are and this loop is hooked into the tensioning device becomes.

Die Zugseile können ein beliebiges Element sein, das die Anforderung erfüllt, Zugkräfte übertragen zu können und aufwickelbar zu sein. Hierfür kommen beispielsweise Metalldrähte, Kunststoffseile, Bänder und dergleichen in Frage. Die Spannvorrichtung kann an der Seitenwange der Grundplatte, am Ristelement oder auch am Fersenelement angebracht sein.The pull ropes can be any element that the Requirement to be able to transmit tensile forces and to be windable. For example, come here Metal wires, plastic ropes, tapes and the like in Question. The tensioning device can on the side cheek of the Base plate, on the instep element or also on the heel element to be appropriate.

Die Spannvorrichtung hat einen drehbaren Wickeldorn und einen drehbaren Betätigungsknopf oder -hebel. Die jeweilige Drehstellung des Wickeldornes ist arretierbar, beispielsweise durch eine oder mehrere Sperrklinken und einer Rastverzahnung. Selbstverständlich sind auch andere bekannte Arretierungseinrichtungen verwendbar, die formschlüssig oder auch reibschlüssig den Wickeldorn in beliebiger Drehstellung festhalten bzw. arretieren.The jig has a rotating mandrel and a rotatable control button or lever. The respective The rotational position of the winding mandrel can be locked, for example through one or more pawls and locking teeth. Of course, other known ones are also known Locking devices can be used, the form-fitting or frictionally the winding mandrel in any Hold or lock the rotary position.

Zunächst sei auf Fig. 1 Bezug genommen. Die Snowboardbindung hat ein Chassis mit eine Grundplatte 1, die in bekannter Weise an der Oberfläche eines Snowboards befestigt wird, was üblicherweise durch Anschrauben erfolgt. Integrierter Bestandteil des Chassis sind senkrecht von der Grundplatte 1 abstehende Seitenwangen 2, die beidseitig des zu haltenden Stiefels 5 an der eigentlichen Grundplatte 1 angebracht sind. Diese Seitenwangen 2 haben mehrere Funktionen, nämlich unter anderem seitliche Führung des Stiefels, Halterung eines üblicherweise schwenkbar an den Seitenwangen 2 befestigten Fersenteiles 3 und Halterung eines einzigen Ristriemens 4, welcher sich vom vorderen Zehenbereich 51 des Stiefels 5 bis über den Ristbereich 5b erstreckt und teilweise noch in den Schaftbereich 5c übergeht. Obwohl also nicht nur der Rist sondern auch der Zehenbereich und ggf. auch ein Schaftteil überdeckt werden, sei er hier als Ristriemen bezeichnet. Dieser Ristriemen 4 ist über Zugseile 6 und 9 an mindestens einer Seitenwange 2 befestigt, wofür eine Vielzahl von Varianten möglich ist, die nachfolgend beschrieben werden. Bei einer Variante ist das Zugseil 6 im Bereich einer Kante des Ristriemens 4 in dessen Zehenbereich befestigt, was durch einen Befestigungspunkt 7 dargestellt ist. Das Zugseil 6 kann beispielsweise angenietet, angenäht, angeschraubt, durch eine Öse hindurchgesteckt werden oder in sonstiger bekannter Weise befestigt werden. Das Zugseil 6 führt dann über an der Seitenwange 2 angebrachte Umlenkrollen 11a und 11b zu einer Spannvorrichtung 8, die hier am Ristelement 4 befestigt ist und zwar etwa in dessen Mitte.First, reference is made to FIG. 1. The snowboard binding has a chassis with a base plate 1, which in known Attached to the surface of a snowboard which is usually done by screwing. integrated The chassis are perpendicular to the base plate 1 protruding side walls 2, which are to be held on both sides Boot 5 attached to the actual base plate 1 are. These side walls 2 have several functions, namely including lateral guidance of the boot, bracket one usually swiveling on the side cheeks 2 attached heel part 3 and holder of a single one Instep strap 4, which extends from the front toe area 51 of the boot 5 extends beyond the instep area 5b and partially merges into the shaft area 5c. Even though So not only the instep but also the toe area and if necessary, a shaft part can also be covered, be it here referred to as instep straps. This instep strap 4 is over Traction cables 6 and 9 attached to at least one side cheek 2, for which a multitude of variants is possible, the are described below. One variant is the pull rope 6 in the region of an edge of the instep belt 4 attached in the toe area, what by a Attachment point 7 is shown. The pull rope 6 can for example riveted, sewn on, screwed on, through an eyelet can be put through or in other known Way to be attached. The pull rope 6 then leads to the side cheek 2 attached pulleys 11a and 11b to a tensioning device 8, which here on instep element 4 is attached, approximately in the middle.

In entsprechender Weise ist ein zweites Zugseil 9 im Ristbereich 5b an dem Ristelement 4 angebracht und zwar an einem Befestigungspunkt 10, der ebenfalls nahe der Kante des Ristriemens liegt. Auch das zweite Zugseil 9 ist über Umlenkrollen 12a und 12b an der Seitenwange 2 umgelenkt und ebenfalls zu der Spannvorrichtung 8 geführt. Durch Spannen der Spannvorrichtung 8 werden somit beide Zugseile 6 und 9 gespannt.In a corresponding manner, a second pull rope 9 is in the Instep area 5b attached to instep element 4 at an attachment point 10, which is also near the edge of the instep belt. The second pull rope 9 is also over Deflection rollers 12a and 12b deflected on the side cheek 2 and also led to the clamping device 8. By Tensioning the tensioning device 8 thus becomes both traction ropes 6 and 9 excited.

Die Zugseile 6 und 9 können auch, wie durch die Bezugszeichen 6' und 9' und die gestrichelten Linien angedeutet, über das Ristelement 4 geführt sein und dieses vollständig übergreifen. Auf der gegenüberliegenden Seite können die Enden der Zugseile 6' und 9' entweder fest an der gegenüberliegenden Seitenwange befestigt sein oder sie können, wie in Fig. 1 für die sichtbare Seite abgebildet ist, auch auf die gegenüberliegende Seite über entsprechend Umlenkrollen geführt und zur Spannvorrichtung 8 laufen, wo dann vier Enden von zwei Zugseilen münden.The pull ropes 6 and 9 can also, as by the reference numerals 6 'and 9' and the dashed lines indicated above the instep element 4 and this completely spread. On the opposite side you can Ends of the pull cables 6 'and 9' either firmly on the opposite side cheek attached or them can, as shown in Fig. 1 for the visible side is also corresponding to the opposite side Guided pulleys and run to the tensioning device 8, where then four ends of two pull cables open.

Im Ausführungsbeispiel der Fig. 2 bedient ebenfalls eine gemeinsame Spannvorrichtung 8, die an der Seitenwange 2 befestigt ist, zwei Zugseile 6 und 9, die jeweils nahe der Seitenkante des Ristriemens 4 in Befestigungspunkten 7 und 10 befestigt sind und über an der Seitenwange 2 befestigte Umlenkrollen 11 und 12 zur Spannvorrichtung 8 laufen. Auch hier können die Zugseile, wie durch die gestrichelten Abschnitte 6' und 9' angedeutet, den Ristriemen 4 vollständig übergreifen.In the exemplary embodiment in FIG. 2, one is also operated common clamping device 8 on the side cheek 2 is attached, two pull ropes 6 and 9, each close the side edge of instep belt 4 in fastening points 7 and 10 are attached and on the side cheek 2nd attached pulleys 11 and 12 to the tensioning device 8 run. Here, too, the pulling ropes, as through the Dashed sections 6 'and 9' indicated the instep 4 completely overlap.

Im Ausführungsbeispiel der Fig. 3 ist als Spannvorrichtung ein Hebel 8' verwendet, der an seiner in der Schließstellung dem Ristriemen 4 zugewandten Seite mehrere Haken 8" aufweist, in die eine Schlaufe 6" der Zugseile einhängbar ist. Durch Verschwenken des Hebels 8' werden die Zugseile gespannt oder gelockert.In the embodiment of FIG. 3 is as a clamping device a lever 8 'used at its in the closed position the instep strap 4 side has several hooks 8 ", into which a loop 6 "of the traction cables can be hung Swiveling the lever 8 ', the pull cables are tensioned or relaxed.

Beim Ausführungsbeispiel der Fig. 4 sind die Zugseile 6 und 9 von den Umlenkrollen 11 und 12 direkt zur mittig auf dem Ristriemen 4 angeordneten Spannvorrichtung 8 geführt, d.h. die Umlenkrollen 11b und 12b der Fig. 1 sind fortgelassen. Ansonsten entspricht dieses Ausführungsbeispiel dem der Fig. 1.4, the traction ropes 6 and 9 from the pulleys 11 and 12 directly to the center guided on the instep belt 4 arranged tensioning device 8, i.e. the deflection rollers 11b and 12b of FIG. 1 omitted. Otherwise this embodiment corresponds that of FIG. 1.

Die Spannvorrichtung der Fig. 5 hat ein topfförmiges Gehäuse 12 mit einem im wesentlichen ebenen Boden 13, der an der Bindung, also insbesondere der Seitenwange 2 oder dem Ristriemen 4 befestigt wird. Das Gehäuse 12 hat einen nach innen ragenden, zylindrischen Vorsprung 14, der als Führung bzw. Lager für einen Wickeldorn 15 dient, der einstückig mit einem Gehäusedeckel 16 verbunden ist, der mit einem ringförmigen Bereich 17 das Gehäuse 12 umgreift und auch dort damit geführt und gelagert ist. Das Gehäuse 12 hat hier zwei Öffnungen 18 und 19, durch die Zugseile 6 und 9 in das Innere des Gehäuses gelangen und auf den Wickeldorn 15 aufgewickelt werden können. Die jeweiligen Enden der Zugseile 6 und 9 sind an dem Wickeldorn 15 befestigt. Am Wickeldorn 15 können Führungsscheiben 20, 21, 22 angebracht sein, die für ein geordnetes Aufwickeln der Zugseile 6 und 9 sorgen, wenn der Wickeldorn 15 gedreht wird.5 has a cup-shaped housing 12 with a substantially flat bottom 13 which on the Binding, in particular the side cheek 2 or the Instep strap 4 is attached. The housing 12 has one after inside protruding, cylindrical projection 14, which acts as a guide or bearings for a winding mandrel 15, which is in one piece is connected to a housing cover 16 which with a annular area 17 encompasses the housing 12 and also is guided and stored there. The housing 12 has here two openings 18 and 19 through the pull cables 6 and 9 get inside the housing and onto the winding mandrel 15 can be wound up. The respective ends of the Traction ropes 6 and 9 are attached to the winding mandrel 15. At the Winding mandrel 15 can guide discs 20, 21, 22 attached be for an orderly winding of the traction ropes 6 and 9 worry when the mandrel 15 is rotated.

Am Deckel 16 ist eine Sperrklinke 23 mittels eines Stiftes 24 schwenkbar gelagert, wobei die Sperrklinke durch eine Feder 25, die hier eine Blattfeder ist, mit dem Ende, das einen Rasthaken 26 aufweist, radial nach innen gedrückt wird. Das Gehäuse 13 hat eine der Breite der Sperrklinke 23 entsprechende Vertiefung 27, in der eine Rastverzahnung 28 angebracht ist. Der Haken 26 greift dabei in diese Rastverzahnung 28 ein, so daß eine Arretierung erreicht wird in der Weise, daß der Deckel 27 bei wirksamer Sperrklinke nur in einer Drehrichtung, nämlich der Spannrichtung gedreht werden kann.On the cover 16 there is a pawl 23 by means of a pin 24 pivotally mounted, the pawl by a Spring 25, which is a leaf spring here, with the end that has a locking hook 26, pressed radially inwards becomes. The housing 13 has a width of the pawl 23 corresponding recess 27 in which a locking toothing 28 is attached. The hook 26 engages in this Locking toothing 28, so that a locking is achieved is effective in such a way that the cover 27 Pawl only in one direction of rotation, namely the Clamping direction can be rotated.

Zum Lösen wird der Rasthaken 23 gegen die Kraft der Feder 25 um die Achse 24 geschwenkt, bis der Haken 26 außer Eingriff mit der Rastverzahnung 28 kommt. Um dieses Schwenken zu ermöglichen, hat der Deckel 17 im Bereich des Rasthakens 23 eine Aussparung 29, über welche das hintere Ende des Rasthakens 23 von außen zugänglich ist und der Rasthaken in beschriebener Weise geschwenkt werden kann.To release the locking hook 23 against the force of the spring 25 pivoted about the axis 24 until the hook 26 except Engagement with the locking teeth 28 comes.
