Definitions
- the invention relates to a binding for a board, ie a piece of sports equipment in the form of a board, preferably a kiteboard, comprising a footrest, a footstrap and at least one release device for opening the footstrap. Furthermore, the invention relates to a board with a corresponding binding and a method for opening a binding.
- Foot securing bindings and foot securing straps for sports boards in particular safety bindings for sports board bindings, are known in principle.
- bindings most used in kitesurfing are foot strap bindings. These are used from beginner training to professional classes.
- Bindings are eg off DE 10 2018 104 556 A1 , U.S. 2005/0087115 A1 , U.S. 5,277,635 A and U.S. 4,466,373 A known.
- the width or narrowness of the foot strap can be adjusted here. However, the foot strap cannot be opened by a foot fastened in the binding.
- foot straps are used more often, although they have a less complex structure than in kitesurfing.
- Boots are mostly used for wakeboarding, but foot straps are also used, especially for beginners. All of these attachment types can cause injury.
- Bindings with boots which are known from snowboarding, for example, are sometimes used on kiteboards and wakeboards.
- One foot detaches from the foot strap while the other gets stuck in the foot strap.
- the foot is additionally held in place by a torsion of the board, since the foot strap twists due to the rotation and thus shortens.
- the injuries that occur range from strains, sprains, knee injuries, torn ligaments, arch injuries to complex ankle injuries, dislocations and complex lower leg fractures and the like.
- the user moves the foot straps particularly loosely in order to prevent the foot from being fixed directly. However, this loses a firmer fixation to the board and thus better control over it.
- the opposite approach is attempted, namely to design the geometry in such a way that the best possible fixation in the foot strap is made possible.
- the aim here is to prevent the user from being able to detach himself from the binding too easily, in order to avoid injuries as a result.
- the binding is suitable for a board, preferably a kiteboard.
- the binding is suitable for a board that is used in water sports, for example also for a surfboard, wakeboard and/or foilboard.
- the invention also relates to a use of the binding for a board that is used in water sports and/or used barefoot, e.g. a kiteboard.
- the binding includes a footrest and a foot strap.
- the foot strap can, in particular, be detachable, e.g. be attached to the footrest.
- the footrest can preferably comprise an anti-slip and/or shock-absorbing material, eg rubber material.
- the foot strap can in particular comprise a textile material.
- the foot strap can preferably have a Velcro fastener. For example, the length of the foot strap can be adjusted.
- a shoeless foot is preferably accommodated in the binding.
- the foot is fastened between the footrest and the foot strap.
- the footrest and/or the foot strap can be adapted to the shape of the foot.
- the user is preferably barefoot in the binding.
- barefoot is to be understood broadly and also includes, for example, socks or light, elastic shoes, e.g. made of neoprene. However, sturdy shoes or boots are not included.
- there is no fixed connection between the foot or a sock and the binding as is the case, for example, with a ski or snowboard between a fixed shoe, soft boot or boot and the binding.
- shoes, soft boots or boots do not snap into the binding because the user stands barefoot on the board.
- the user, clothing and/or footwear of the user do not snap onto the binding or form part of the binding. There is no fixed connection with the binding on the user side. A release of the user is therefore possible at any time.
- the binding includes a fastening device for fastening the binding to the board.
- the fastening device can include screws with which the binding can be screwed to the board.
- the binding comprises at least one release device for opening the foot strap.
- the foot strap is thus opened.
- a shoe, soft boot, boot or the entire binding is not released or unlocked.
- the release device has at least one side stop that can be actuated, in particular barefoot, with a foot that is fastened between the footrest and the foot strap, in order to trigger the release device.
- the side stop can in particular be ergonomically shaped. The rotational forces can thereby be safely and reliably transferred to the release device.
- the triggering preferably takes place via the side surfaces of the foot.
- the foot strap opens when the release device is triggered.
- the foot strap opens in particular without tools.
- An automatic release preferably takes place as soon as the load, the rotation of the foot and/or the torsion of the board exceeds a specific limit value.

- the foot strap can have a securing device, e.g. a cord, in order not to lose the foot strap.
- the safety device can preferably be connected to the binding and/or the board.
- the foot strap can be opened on both sides, depending on the load. Depending on the direction of rotation of the foot, the left or right side stop is actuated. The appropriate release device is triggered, the footstrap opens and the foot is free.
- the side stop comprises a lever element or is connected to a lever element.
- the lever member may be located inside or outside the footstrap.
- the lever member is freely rotatable and not impeded by the foot strap.
- the lever element can, for example, be designed as a whole with the footrest, so that this in particular does not represent an extra component.
- the force exerted by the foot on the side stop is transmitted to the lever element.
- the lever element can be pivoted.
- An end stop can preferably be provided to limit the rotational movement.
- the lever element is rotatably mounted on a rotary device.
- the rotary device forms a joint.
- the rotary device can preferably be designed as a cylindrical, preferably multifunctional, axis.
- the lever member may be releasably attached, e.g., clamped, to the rotary device, e.g., by means of a screw.
- the position, in particular the angle, of the lever element relative to the rotary device can be adjusted.
- the release device can be triggered by twisting.
- a sensor for example a pressure sensor, can also be provided, which measures a force acting on the side stop. If a limit value is exceeded, the release device can be triggered.
- the release device has a receiving area which is connected to the footrest and/or forms part of the footrest and on which the rotary device is arranged.
- the receiving area is designed in particular in the manner of a plate and/or comprises an at least essentially flat area.
- the foot strap and/or a release device connected to the foot strap can be received in the receiving area.

- the retaining lug can in particular be pivoted over a triggering device or into a lateral recess of the triggering device and fix the triggering device in this way.
- the rotary device has a holding lug adjustment device for the holding lug.
- the position, in particular the angle, of the retaining lug can be adjusted via the retaining lug adjustment device, e.g. via a screw.
- the rotary device has a lever element adjustment device for the lever element.
- the position, in particular the angle, of the lever element relative to the rotary device can be adjusted via an angle adjustment device, e.g. via a screw.
- an angle adjustment device e.g. via a screw.
- a fixing element e.g. a screw
- the lever element can now be twisted into the desired position and fixed using the fixing element.
- the trigger angle can be adjusted.
- the release angle can be adjusted individually to the needs and/or physical characteristics of the user, e.g. height and/or weight.
- the rotary device has a counterforce and/or restoring device, in particular a spring device.
- the turning device is biased into a position in which the foot strap is closed. Unintentional opening can be prevented in this way.
- the spring force that is to say the pretension, is preferably adjustable, for example via a spring adjustment device.
- the spring adjustment device can be arranged, for example, in the receiving area.
- the spring adjustment device can be arranged in the rotary device or outside of the rotary device.
- the resistance of the rotary device can be set in such a way that it prevents further rotation that is too easy and/or premature and thus triggers the release device. Triggering occurs when forces are sustained long enough at the necessary strength.
- the angle can be individually adjusted to the user's needs and/or physical characteristics, e.g., height and/or weight.
- a release device in particular a release plate or release strip, is provided, which is firmly connected to the foot strap and/or forms part of the foot strap and rests on the receiving area when the foot strap is closed.
- the triggering device is preferably non-detachably connected to the foot strap.
- the triggering device comprises a rigid and/or solid material, e.g., plastic and/or metal.
- the triggering device when the foot strap is closed, is arranged at least in sections between the receiving area and the retaining lug of the rotating device. The triggering device is thus to a certain extent trapped.
- An end area of the triggering device in particular a front end area, can have one latching lug or several latching lugs.
- the end area can be forked.
- the snap-in lug or snap-in lugs can snap or be inserted into a correspondingly shaped counterpart of the receiving area and form a tongue and groove connection. Forces occurring in the Y-direction can thereby be stabilized. It is also easier for the user to engage.
- At least a portion of the top of the triggering device can be designed as a flat side for the retaining lug.
- the retaining lug can thus be pivoted in a simple manner via the triggering device and fix the triggering device.

- the receiving area can have a central centering bolt, which can engage in a recess on the underside of the triggering device.
- the triggering device can have a centering bolt and the triggering device can have a recess.
- the centering device can also have lateral stops, for example.
- the centering device stabilizes the forces occurring in the X direction. This also serves in particular as a snap-in aid for a user. In addition, this serves as an indicator as to whether the release device is correctly engaged.
- the invention also relates to a board with a binding according to the invention.
- Two bindings according to the invention are preferably provided. So each foot can be securely held or released.
- the invention also relates to a method for opening a binding according to the invention, in which a side stop is actuated with a foot that is fastened between the footrest and the foot strap, in particular barefoot.
- the foot is thus free, which avoids injuries.
- FIG. 1 shows a board 10, in particular a kiteboard, with two bindings 12. A user's feet can be securely fastened to the bindings 12.
- FIG. 1 shows a board 10, in particular a kiteboard, with two bindings 12. A user's feet can be securely fastened to the bindings 12.

Description
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Bindung für ein Board, also ein Sportgerät in Brettform, vorzugsweise Kiteboard, umfassend eine Fußauflage, eine Fußschlaufe, und wenigstens eine Freigabevorrichtung zum Öffnen der Fußschlaufe. Ferner betrifft die Erfindung ein Board mit einer entsprechenden Bindung sowie ein Verfahren zum Öffnen einer Bindung.The invention relates to a binding for a board, ie a piece of sports equipment in the form of a board, preferably a kiteboard, comprising a footrest, a footstrap and at least one release device for opening the footstrap. Furthermore, the invention relates to a board with a corresponding binding and a method for opening a binding.
Fußsicherungsbindungen und Fußsicherungsgurte für Sportbretter, insbesondere Sicherheitsbindungen für Sportbretterbindungen, sind grundsätzlich bekannt.Foot securing bindings and foot securing straps for sports boards, in particular safety bindings for sports board bindings, are known in principle.
Bisher werden im Wassersport entweder keine Bindungen, was auch als "strapless" bezeichnet wird, Schlaufenbindungen, z.B. (Foot-)straps, oder feste Bindungen mit Boots, also Schuhen, eingesetzt.So far, either no bindings, also known as "strapless", loop bindings, e.g. (foot) straps, or fixed bindings with boots, i.e. shoes, have been used in water sports.
Dabei ist die Kontrolle des Boards ohne Bindung am schwierigsten. Mit einer Schlaufenbindung ist die Kontrolle wesentlich einfacher. Mit Boots ist die Kontrolle über das Board durch die starke Fixierung am größten.The most difficult thing is controlling the board without binding. With a loop binding, control is much easier. With boots, the control over the board is greatest due to the strong fixation.
Die beim Kitesurfen am meisten benutze Bindungsart sind Fußschlaufenbindungen. Diese werden von der Anfängerschulung bis hin zur Profiklasse genutzt.The type of bindings most used in kitesurfing are foot strap bindings. These are used from beginner training to professional classes.
Bindungen sind z.B. aus
Im Windsurfsport wird häufig ohne Bindung gefahren. Im fortgeschritten Bereich werden dort öfter Fußschlaufen benutzt, wobei diese einen weniger komplexen Aufbau haben als beim Kitesurfen.Windsurfing often involves riding without bindings. In the advanced area, foot straps are used more often, although they have a less complex structure than in kitesurfing.
Beim Wakeboarden werden meistens Boots eingesetzt, aber auch Fußschlaufen kommen besonders für Anfänger zum Einsatz. Alle diese Befestigungsarten können zu Verletzungen führen.Boots are mostly used for wakeboarding, but foot straps are also used, especially for beginners. All of these attachment types can cause injury.
Bindungen mit Boots, welche z.B. vom Snowboarden bekannt sind, werden zum Teil bei Kite- sowie Wakeboards eingesetzt.Bindings with boots, which are known from snowboarding, for example, are sometimes used on kiteboards and wakeboards.
Das Risiko von Verletzungen der Wirbelsäule aufgrund eines abrupten Abbremsens des Körpers im Falle eines missglückten Sprungs hält z.B. beim Kiteboarden viele Nutzer davon ab, mit diesen Bindungen zu fahren. Auch steigt das Risiko des Ertrinkens bei diesen Bindungen, da sich die Beine nur durch ein bewusstes Öffnen der Boots lösen können. Ebenfalls kann es bei festen Bindungen zu starken Verletzungen des Kniegelenks kommen.The risk of spinal injuries due to the body braking abruptly in the event of a failed jump, for example in kiteboarding, discourages many users from using these bindings. The risk of drowning also increases with these bindings, since the legs can only come loose by deliberately opening the boots. Tight bindings can also lead to severe injuries to the knee joint.
Dagegen stellt bei Schlaufenbindungen das Steckenbleiben eines Fußes in einer der Fußschlaufen ein großes Problem dar. Dieses Problem kann im normalen Fahrbetrieb auftreten, während bzw. nach einem Sprung oder einem anderen Manöver.On the other hand, with loop bindings, getting your foot stuck in one of the foot straps is a major problem. This problem can occur during normal driving, during or after a jump or other maneuver.
Dabei löst sich ein Fuß aus der Fußschlaufe, während der andere in der Fußschlaufe stecken bleibt. Durch eine Torsion des Boards wird der Fuß dabei zusätzlich festgehalten, da sich die Fußschlaufe durch die Rotation verdreht und sich damit verkürzt.One foot detaches from the foot strap while the other gets stuck in the foot strap. The foot is additionally held in place by a torsion of the board, since the foot strap twists due to the rotation and thus shortens.
Es entsteht ein hohes Risiko für den Nutzer, da nun die Länge des Kiteboards, welche z.B. ca. 140 cm betragen kann, als Hebel auf die unteren Extremitäten wirkt.There is a high risk for the user, since the length of the kiteboard, which can be around 140 cm, acts as a lever on the lower extremities.
Die dabei auftretenden Verletzungen reichen von Dehnungen, Verstauchungen, Knieverletzungen, Bänderrissen, Fußgewölbeverletzungen bis hin zu komplexen Verletzungen des Sprunggelenks, Dislokationen und komplexen Unterschenkelbrüchen und dergleichen.The injuries that occur range from strains, sprains, knee injuries, torn ligaments, arch injuries to complex ankle injuries, dislocations and complex lower leg fractures and the like.
Eine aus dem Phänomen des Steckenbleibens von nur einem Fuß resultierende Verletzung ist unter dem Begriff Onefooter-Verletzung bekannt.An injury resulting from the phenomenon of only one foot getting stuck is known as a one-footer injury.
Bei bisherigen Schlaufenbindungen wird einerseits versucht, ĂĽber die Geometrie des FuĂźpads, also der FuĂźauflage, und der FuĂźschlaufe das Herausgleiten des FuĂźes zu vereinfachen, beispielsweise durch eine lediglich leichte Fixierung.In the case of previous loop bindings, an attempt was made on the one hand to simplify the sliding out of the foot via the geometry of the footpad, ie the footrest, and the foot loop, for example by only slightly fixing it.
Der Nutzer fährt die Fußschlaufen hierbei besonders locker, um eine Fixierung des Fußes direkt zu verhindern. Dabei büßt dieser jedoch eine festere Fixierung zum Board und damit eine bessere Kontrolle über dieses ein.The user moves the foot straps particularly loosely in order to prevent the foot from being fixed directly. However, this loses a firmer fixation to the board and thus better control over it.
Andererseits wird der entgegengesetzte Ansatz versucht, nämlich die Geometrie so zu gestalten, dass eine möglichst gute Fixierung in der Fußschlaufe ermöglicht wird. Hierbei soll vermieden werden, dass sich der Nutzer zu leicht aus der Bindung lösen kann, um dadurch Verletzungen zu vermeiden.On the other hand, the opposite approach is attempted, namely to design the geometry in such a way that the best possible fixation in the foot strap is made possible. The aim here is to prevent the user from being able to detach himself from the binding too easily, in order to avoid injuries as a result.
Zwar wird so ein höheres Maß an Kontrolle gewährleistet. Im Falle eines Lösens von nur einem Fuß ist es aber für den Nutzer signifikant schwieriger, sich von dem Board zu lösen und/oder das Board abzuschütteln.It is true that this ensures a higher degree of control. However, in the case of just one foot off, it is significantly more difficult for the user to detach and/or shake off the board.
Keiner der Ansätze führt zu einer signifikanten Reduktion der Verletzungen. Auch in der Medizin haben sich keine Veränderungen gezeigt. So wirken im Falle eines Sturzes und einer Torsion des Boards in beiden Fällen große Hebel auf den jeweiligen fixierten Körperteil.None of the approaches lead to a significant reduction in injuries. There have been no changes in medicine either. In the event of a fall and torsion of the board, large levers act on the respective fixed part of the body in both cases.
Es ist daher eine Aufgabe der Erfindung, eine Bindung, ein Board sowie ein Verfahren zum Ă–ffnen einer Bindung zu schaffen, wodurch auf einfache Weise das Risiko fĂĽr Verletzungen reduziert wird.It is therefore an object of the invention to create a binding, a board and a method for opening a binding, as a result of which the risk of injuries is reduced in a simple manner.
Die Lösung dieser Aufgabe erfolgt durch die Gegenstände sowie das Verfahren der unabhängigen Ansprüche.This problem is solved by the objects and the method of the independent claims.
Erfindungsgemäß ist die Bindung für ein Board, vorzugsweise ein Kiteboard, geeignet. Insbesondere ist die Bindung für ein Board, welches im Wassersport eingesetzt wird, geeignet, beispielsweise auch für ein Surfboard, Wakeboard und/oder Foilboard.According to the invention, the binding is suitable for a board, preferably a kiteboard. In particular, the binding is suitable for a board that is used in water sports, for example also for a surfboard, wakeboard and/or foilboard.
Die Erfindung betrifft ferner eine Verwendung der Bindung fĂĽr ein Board, welches im Wassersport eingesetzt und/oder barfuĂź verwendet wird, z.B. ein Kiteboard.The invention also relates to a use of the binding for a board that is used in water sports and/or used barefoot, e.g. a kiteboard.
Die Bindung umfasst eine Fußauflage sowie eine Fußschlaufe. Die Fußschlaufe kann, insbesondere lösbar, z.B. an der Fußauflage befestigt sein.The binding includes a footrest and a foot strap. The foot strap can, in particular, be detachable, e.g. be attached to the footrest.
Die Fußauflage kann vorzugsweise ein rutschhemmendes und/oder stoßdämpfendes Material, z.B. Gummimaterial, umfassen. Die Fußschlaufe kann insbesondere ein Textilmaterial umfassen. Vorzugsweise kann die Fußschlaufe einen Klettverschluss aufweisen. Beispielsweise kann die Länge der Fußschlaufe eingestellt werden.The footrest can preferably comprise an anti-slip and/or shock-absorbing material, eg rubber material. The foot strap can in particular comprise a textile material. The foot strap can preferably have a Velcro fastener. For example, the length of the foot strap can be adjusted.
In der Bindung wird vorzugsweise ein FuĂź ohne Schuhe aufgenommen. Der FuĂź wird zwischen der FuĂźauflage und der FuĂźschlaufe befestigt. Insbesondere kann die FuĂźauflage und/oder die FuĂźschlaufe an die Form des FuĂźes angepasst sein.A shoeless foot is preferably accommodated in the binding. The foot is fastened between the footrest and the foot strap. In particular, the footrest and/or the foot strap can be adapted to the shape of the foot.
Der Nutzer ist vorzugsweise barfuß in der Bindung. Der Begriff barfuß ist breit zu verstehen und umfasst auch beispielsweise Socken oder leichte, elastische Schuhe, z.B. aus Neopren. Feste Schuhe oder Stiefel sind jedoch nicht davon umfasst. Insbesondere besteht keine feste Verbindung zwischen dem Fuß bzw. einem Socken und der Bindung, wie es z.B. bei einem Ski oder Snowboard zwischen einem festen Schuh, Softboot oder Stiefel und der Bindung der Fall ist. Im Gegensatz zu Ski- oder Snowboardbindungen rasten keine Schuhe, Softboots oder Stiefel in der Bindung ein, da der Nutzer barfuß auf dem Board steht. Der Nutzer, Kleidung und/oder Schuhwerk des Nutzers verrastet erfindungsgemäß nicht mit der Bindung bzw. bildet auch keinen Teil der Bindung. Nutzerseitig besteht keine feste Verbindung mit der Bindung. Ein Lösen des Nutzers ist daher jederzeit möglich.The user is preferably barefoot in the binding. The term barefoot is to be understood broadly and also includes, for example, socks or light, elastic shoes, e.g. made of neoprene. However, sturdy shoes or boots are not included. In particular, there is no fixed connection between the foot or a sock and the binding, as is the case, for example, with a ski or snowboard between a fixed shoe, soft boot or boot and the binding. In contrast to ski or snowboard bindings, shoes, soft boots or boots do not snap into the binding because the user stands barefoot on the board. According to the invention, the user, clothing and/or footwear of the user do not snap onto the binding or form part of the binding. There is no fixed connection with the binding on the user side. A release of the user is therefore possible at any time.
Die Bindung umfasst insbesondere eine Befestigungsvorrichtung zur Befestigung der Bindung am Board. Beispielsweise kann die Befestigungsvorrichtung Schrauben umfassen, mit denen die Bindung am Board verschraubt werden kann.In particular, the binding includes a fastening device for fastening the binding to the board. For example, the fastening device can include screws with which the binding can be screwed to the board.
Ferner umfasst die Bindung wenigstens eine Freigabevorrichtung zum Ă–ffnen der FuĂźschlaufe.Furthermore, the binding comprises at least one release device for opening the foot strap.
Erfindungsgemäß wird somit die Fußschlaufe geöffnet. Ein Schuh, Softboot, Stiefel oder die gesamte Bindung wird hingegen nicht freigegeben bzw. entrastet.According to the invention, the foot strap is thus opened. However, a shoe, soft boot, boot or the entire binding is not released or unlocked.
Die Freigabevorrichtung weist wenigstens einen mit einem Fuß, der zwischen der Fußauflage und der Fußschlaufe befestigt ist, insbesondere barfuß, betätigbaren Seitenanschlag zum Auslösen der Freigabevorrichtung auf. Der Seitenanschlag kann insbesondere ergonomisch geformt sein. Die Rotationskräfte können dadurch sicher und zuverlässig an die Freigabevorrichtung überführt werden.The release device has at least one side stop that can be actuated, in particular barefoot, with a foot that is fastened between the footrest and the foot strap, in order to trigger the release device. The side stop can in particular be ergonomically shaped. The rotational forces can thereby be safely and reliably transferred to the release device.
Das Auslösen erfolgt vorzugsweise über die Seitenflächen des Fußes. Durch das Auslösen der Freigabevorrichtung öffnet sich die Fußschlaufe.The triggering preferably takes place via the side surfaces of the foot. The foot strap opens when the release device is triggered.
Die Fußschlaufe öffnet sich insbesondere werkzeuglos. Vorzugsweise erfolgt eine automatische Freigabe, sobald die Belastung, die Rotation des Fußes und/oder die Torsion des Boards einen bestimmten Grenzwert überschreitet.The foot strap opens in particular without tools. An automatic release preferably takes place as soon as the load, the rotation of the foot and/or the torsion of the board exceeds a specific limit value.
Es war überraschend, dass eine Bindung, insbesondere eine Fußschlaufe, auch barfuß geöffnet werden kann.It was surprising that a binding, in particular a foot strap, can also be opened barefoot.
Dadurch wird auf einfache Weise das Risiko für Verletzungen reduziert. Insbesondere werden Onefooter-Verletzungen vermindert, da sich der am Board verbleibende Fuß durch die sich automatisch öffnende Fußschlaufe von der Bindung und somit vom Board löst.This reduces the risk of injury in a simple way. In particular, one-footer injuries are reduced, since the foot remaining on the board is released from the binding and thus from the board by the automatically opening foot strap.
Ferner wird auch beim barfüßigen Fahren ein sicherer Halt und dadurch ein stabiles Fahrverhalten ermöglicht.Furthermore, even when driving barefoot, a secure hold and thereby stable driving behavior are made possible.
Weiterbildungen der Erfindung sind zudem den abhängigen Ansprüchen, der Beschreibung sowie den beigefügten Zeichnungen zu entnehmen.Further developments of the invention can also be found in the dependent claims, the description and the attached drawings.
Gemäß einer Ausführungsform sind zwei Freigabevorrichtungen vorgesehen, welche unterschiedlichen Seiten der Fußschlaufe zugeordnet sind. Die Freigabevorrichtungen sind insbesondere an den beiden Seiten der Fußschlaufe angeordnet. Die Fußschlaufe ist hierbei beidseitig öffenbar.According to one embodiment, two release devices are provided, which are assigned to different sides of the footstrap. In particular, the release devices are arranged on the two sides of the footstrap. The foot strap can be opened on both sides.
Vorzugsweise wird stets lediglich eine Freigabevorrichtung ausgelöst. Eine Seite der Fußschlaufe verbleibt, beispielsweise bei einem Sturz, vorzugsweise an der Bindung. Alternativ ist auch ein Auslösen beider Freigabevorrichtungen denkbar. Die Fußschlaufe ist in diesem Fall vollständig gelöst. Insbesondere kann die Fußschlaufe eine Sicherungsvorrichtung, z.B. eine Schnur, aufweisen, um die Fußschlaufe nicht zu verlieren. Die Sicherungsvorrichtung kann vorzugsweise mit der Bindung und/oder dem Board verbunden sein.Preferably, only one release device is always triggered. One side of the foot strap remains, for example in the event of a fall, preferably on the binding. Alternatively, triggering both release devices is also conceivable. In this case, the foot strap is completely released. In particular, the foot strap can have a securing device, e.g. a cord, in order not to lose the foot strap. The safety device can preferably be connected to the binding and/or the board.
Dadurch, dass zwei Freigabevorrichtungen vorgesehen sind, kann die Fußschlaufe, je nach Belastung, an beiden Seiten geöffnet werden. Abhängig von der Rotationsrichtung des Fußes wird der linke oder der rechte Seitenanschlag betätigt. Die entsprechende Freigabevorrichtung wird ausgelöst, die Fußschlaufe öffnet sich und der Fuß ist frei.Because there are two release devices, the foot strap can be opened on both sides, depending on the load. Depending on the direction of rotation of the foot, the left or right side stop is actuated. The appropriate release device is triggered, the footstrap opens and the foot is free.
Nach einer weiteren AusfĂĽhrungsform umfasst der Seitenanschlag ein Hebelelement oder ist mit einem Hebelelement verbunden. Das Hebelelement kann z.B. inner- oder auĂźerhalb der FuĂźschlaufe angeordnet sein. Vorzugsweise ist das Hebelelement frei drehbar und wird nicht durch die FuĂźschlaufe behindert. Das Hebelelement kann beispielsweise als Ganzes mit der FuĂźauflage gestaltet sein, so dass dieses insbesondere kein extra Bauteil darstellt.According to a further embodiment, the side stop comprises a lever element or is connected to a lever element. For example, the lever member may be located inside or outside the footstrap. Preferably, the lever member is freely rotatable and not impeded by the foot strap. The lever element can, for example, be designed as a whole with the footrest, so that this in particular does not represent an extra component.
Die vom FuĂź auf den Seitenanschlag ausgeĂĽbte Kraft wird an das Hebelelement ĂĽbertragen. Das Hebelelement kann insbesondere verschwenkt werden. Vorzugsweise kann ein Endanschlag vorgesehen sein, um die Drehbewegung zu begrenzen.The force exerted by the foot on the side stop is transmitted to the lever element. In particular, the lever element can be pivoted. An end stop can preferably be provided to limit the rotational movement.
Verdreht sich der FuĂź, so wird der Seitenanschlag und somit auch der Hebel verdreht.If the foot twists, the side stop and thus the lever are twisted.
Das Hebelelement ist drehbar an einer Drehvorrichtung gelagert. Die Drehvorrichtung bildet insbesondere ein Gelenk. Vorzugsweise kann die Drehvorrichtung als zylindrische, vorzugsweise multifunktionale, Achse ausgebildet sein.The lever element is rotatably mounted on a rotary device. In particular, the rotary device forms a joint. The rotary device can preferably be designed as a cylindrical, preferably multifunctional, axis.
Das Hebelelement kann an der Drehvorrichtung lösbar befestigt, z.B. angeklemmt, sein, beispielsweise mittels einer Schraube. Die Position, insbesondere der Winkel, des Hebelelements zur Drehvorrichtung kann dabei eingestellt werden.The lever member may be releasably attached, e.g., clamped, to the rotary device, e.g., by means of a screw. The position, in particular the angle, of the lever element relative to the rotary device can be adjusted.
Durch das Verdrehen kann die Freigabevorrichtung ausgelöst werden.The release device can be triggered by twisting.
Alternativ kann auch z.B. ein Sensor, beispielsweise Drucksensor, vorgesehen sein, welcher eine auf den Seitenanschlag wirkende Kraft misst. Bei Überschreitung eines Grenzwertes kann die Freigabevorrichtung ausgelöst werden.Alternatively, a sensor, for example a pressure sensor, can also be provided, which measures a force acting on the side stop. If a limit value is exceeded, the release device can be triggered.
Gemäß einer weiteren Ausführungsform weist die Freigabevorrichtung einen mit der Fußauflage verbundenen und/oder einen Teil der Fußauflage bildenden Aufnahmebereich auf, an dem die Drehvorrichtung angeordnet ist. Der Aufnahmebereich ist insbesondere plattenartig ausgebildet und/oder umfasst einen zumindest im Wesentlichen ebenen Bereich. Im Aufnahmebereich kann insbesondere die Fußschlaufe und/oder eine mit der Fußschlaufe verbundene Auslösevorrichtung aufgenommen werden.According to a further embodiment, the release device has a receiving area which is connected to the footrest and/or forms part of the footrest and on which the rotary device is arranged. The receiving area is designed in particular in the manner of a plate and/or comprises an at least essentially flat area. In particular, the foot strap and/or a release device connected to the foot strap can be received in the receiving area.
Nach einer weiteren AusfĂĽhrungsform weist die Drehvorrichtung eine drehbare Haltenase auf.According to a further embodiment, the rotating device has a rotatable holding lug.
Die Haltenase kann insbesondere als Rastnase ausgebildet sein und/oder einen Teil eines Rastmechanismus bilden. Die Haltenase kann insbesondere über eine Auslösevorrichtung oder in eine seitliche Aussparung der Auslösevorrichtung geschwenkt werden und die Auslösevorrichtung auf diese Weise fixieren.The retaining lug can in particular be designed as a latching lug and/or form part of a latching mechanism. The retaining lug can in particular be pivoted over a triggering device or into a lateral recess of the triggering device and fix the triggering device in this way.
Insbesondere weist die Drehvorrichtung eine Haltenaseneinstellvorrichtung fĂĽr die Haltenase auf. Ăśber die Haltenaseneinstellvorrichtung kann, z.B. ĂĽber eine Schraube, die Position, insbesondere der Winkel, der Haltenase eingestellt werden.In particular, the rotary device has a holding lug adjustment device for the holding lug. The position, in particular the angle, of the retaining lug can be adjusted via the retaining lug adjustment device, e.g. via a screw.
Gemäß einer weiteren Ausführungsform weist die Drehvorrichtung eine Hebelelementeinstellvorrichtung für das Hebelelement auf.According to a further embodiment, the rotary device has a lever element adjustment device for the lever element.
Insbesondere kann über eine Winkeleinstellvorrichtung, z.B. über eine Schraube, die Position, insbesondere der Winkel, des Hebelelements zur Drehvorrichtung eingestellt werden. Dabei kann beispielsweise ein Fixierelement, z.B. eine Schraube, gelöst werden. Das Hebelelement kann nun in die gewünschte Position verdreht und über das Fixierelement fixiert werden. Auf diese Weise kann der Auslösewinkel eingestellt werden. So kann festgelegt werden, wie stark sich das Hebelelement verdrehten muss, bis die Freigabevorrichtung auslöst. Der Auslösewinkel kann individuell an die Ansprüche und/oder physischen Charakteristika des Nutzers, z.B. die Körpergröße und/oder das Körpergewicht, eingestellt werden.In particular, the position, in particular the angle, of the lever element relative to the rotary device can be adjusted via an angle adjustment device, e.g. via a screw. For example, a fixing element, e.g. a screw, can be loosened. The lever element can now be twisted into the desired position and fixed using the fixing element. In this way, the trigger angle can be adjusted. In this way, it can be determined how much the lever element must twist before the release device is triggered. The release angle can be adjusted individually to the needs and/or physical characteristics of the user, e.g. height and/or weight.
Nach einer weiteren AusfĂĽhrungsform weist die Drehvorrichtung eine Gegenkraft- und/oder RĂĽckstellvorrichtung, insbesondere Federvorrichtung, auf. Die Drehvorrichtung ist insbesondere in eine Position vorgespannt, in der die FuĂźschlaufe geschlossen ist. Ein ungewolltes Ă–ffnen kann auf diese Weise verhindert werden.According to a further embodiment, the rotary device has a counterforce and/or restoring device, in particular a spring device. In particular, the turning device is biased into a position in which the foot strap is closed. Unintentional opening can be prevented in this way.
Vorzugsweise ist die Federkraft, also die Vorspannung, z.B. ĂĽber eine Federeinstellvorrichtung einstellbar. Die Federeinstellvorrichtung kann z.B. im Aufnahmebereich angeordnet sein. Insbesondere kann die Federeinstellvorrichtung in der Drehvorrichtung oder auĂźerhalb der Drehvorrichtung angeordnet sein.The spring force, that is to say the pretension, is preferably adjustable, for example via a spring adjustment device. The spring adjustment device can be arranged, for example, in the receiving area. In particular, the spring adjustment device can be arranged in the rotary device or outside of the rotary device.
Der Widerstand der Drehvorrichtung kann derart eingestellt werden, dass ein zu leichtes und/oder vorzeitiges Weiterrotieren und damit ein Auslösen der Freigabevorrichtung verhindert wird. Ein Auslösen erfolgt, wenn die Kräfte lange genug mit der nötigen Stärke gehalten werden. Der Winkel kann individuell an die Ansprüche und/oder physischen Charakteristika des Nutzers, z.B. die Körpergröße und/oder das Körpergewicht, eingestellt werden.The resistance of the rotary device can be set in such a way that it prevents further rotation that is too easy and/or premature and thus triggers the release device. Triggering occurs when forces are sustained long enough at the necessary strength. The angle can be individually adjusted to the user's needs and/or physical characteristics, e.g., height and/or weight.
Gemäß einer weiteren Ausführungsform ist eine Auslösevorrichtung, insbesondere Auslöseplatte oder Auslöseleiste, vorgesehen, welche mit der Fußschlaufe fest verbunden ist und/oder einen Teil der Fußschlaufe bildet und bei geschlossener Fußschlaufe auf dem Aufnahmebereich aufliegt.According to a further embodiment, a release device, in particular a release plate or release strip, is provided, which is firmly connected to the foot strap and/or forms part of the foot strap and rests on the receiving area when the foot strap is closed.
Die Auslösevorrichtung ist vorzugsweise unlösbar mit der Fußschlaufe verbunden. Insbesondere umfasst die Auslösevorrichtung ein starres und/oder festes Material, z.B. Kunststoff und/oder Metall.The triggering device is preferably non-detachably connected to the foot strap. In particular, the triggering device comprises a rigid and/or solid material, e.g., plastic and/or metal.
Nach einer weiteren Ausführungsform ist die Auslösevorrichtung bei geschlossener Fußschlaufe zumindest abschnittsweise zwischen dem Aufnahmebereich und der Haltenase der Drehvorrichtung angeordnet. Die Auslösevorrichtung ist somit gewissermaßen eingeklemmt.According to a further embodiment, when the foot strap is closed, the triggering device is arranged at least in sections between the receiving area and the retaining lug of the rotating device. The triggering device is thus to a certain extent trapped.
Ein Endbereich der Auslösevorrichtung, insbesondere ein vorderer Endbereich, kann eine Einrastnase oder mehrere Einrastnasen aufweisen. Insbesondere kann der Endbereich gegabelt sein.An end area of the triggering device, in particular a front end area, can have one latching lug or several latching lugs. In particular, the end area can be forked.
Die Einrastnase kann bzw. die Einrastnasen können in ein entsprechend geformtes Gegenstück des Aufnahmebereichs einrasten bzw. eingesteckt werden und eine Nut- und Feder-Verbindung bilden. In Y-Richtung auftretende Kräfte können dadurch stabilisiert werden. Auch wird ein Einrasten für den Nutzer erleichtert.The snap-in lug or snap-in lugs can snap or be inserted into a correspondingly shaped counterpart of the receiving area and form a tongue and groove connection. Forces occurring in the Y-direction can thereby be stabilized. It is also easier for the user to engage.
Zumindest ein Abschnitt der Oberseite der Auslösevorrichtung kann als Flachseite für die Haltenase ausgebildet sein. Die Haltenase kann somit auf einfache Weise über die Auslösevorrichtung verschwenkt werden und die Auslösevorrichtung fixieren.At least a portion of the top of the triggering device can be designed as a flat side for the retaining lug. The retaining lug can thus be pivoted in a simple manner via the triggering device and fix the triggering device.
Es kann eine Zentriervorrichtung vorgesehen sein, welche die Bewegungsfreiheit der Auslösevorrichtung einschränkt. Insbesondere kann der Aufnahmebereich einen mittigen Zentrierbolzen aufweisen, welcher in eine Aussparung an der Unterseite der Auslösevorrichtung eingreifen kann. Alternativ kann die Auslösevorrichtung einen Zentrierbolzen und die Auslösevorrichtung eine Aussparung aufweisen. Auch kann die Zentriervorrichtung z.B. seitliche Anschläge aufweisen.A centering device can be provided which restricts the freedom of movement of the triggering device. In particular, the receiving area can have a central centering bolt, which can engage in a recess on the underside of the triggering device. Alternatively, the triggering device can have a centering bolt and the triggering device can have a recess. The centering device can also have lateral stops, for example.
Die Zentriervorrichtung stabilisiert die in X-Richtung auftretenden Kräfte. Auch dient diese insbesondere als Einrasthilfe für einen Nutzer. Zudem dient dieser als Indikator, ob die Auslösevorrichtung richtig eingerastet ist.The centering device stabilizes the forces occurring in the X direction. This also serves in particular as a snap-in aid for a user. In addition, this serves as an indicator as to whether the release device is correctly engaged.
Die Erfindung betrifft ferner ein Board mit einer erfindungsgemäßen Bindung. Vorzugsweise sind zwei erfindungsgemäße Bindungen vorgesehen. So kann jeder Fuß sicher gehalten bzw. freigegeben werden.The invention also relates to a board with a binding according to the invention. Two bindings according to the invention are preferably provided. So each foot can be securely held or released.
Schließlich betrifft die Erfindung auch ein Verfahren zum Öffnen einer erfindungsgemäßen Bindung, bei dem mit einem Fuß, der zwischen der Fußauflage und der Fußschlaufe befestigt ist, insbesondere barfuß, ein Seitenanschlag betätigt wird.Finally, the invention also relates to a method for opening a binding according to the invention, in which a side stop is actuated with a foot that is fastened between the footrest and the foot strap, in particular barefoot.
Dadurch wird eine Freigabevorrichtung ausgelöst, wobei eine Fußschlaufe durch die Freigabevorrichtung geöffnet wird.This triggers a release device, with a footstrap being opened by the release device.
Der FuĂź ist somit frei, wodurch Verletzungen vermieden werden.The foot is thus free, which avoids injuries.
