Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a binding of a shoe on a snowboard, and more particularly to a binding device which comprises elements intended to hold the front and rear ends of a shoe.
  • snowboard bindings which include adjustment devices, but they all have many drawbacks, however. Indeed, these devices are made in particular with complicated mechanisms which have the disadvantages of being impractical to use and of being heavy. In addition, these known devices are of a high cost price, which has helped to slow their marketing to young surfers who constitute the majority of surfers.
  • the object of the present invention therefore consists in remedying the drawbacks of known bindings for snowboarding, and in providing a binding whose adjustment devices are combined so as to allow the adjustment of several parameters, and this in a much more practical manner and quick to perform, and which is of reduced weight and low cost.
  • the fixing device according to the invention which aims to achieve the above object has the characteristics defined in claim 1.
  • the illustrated fixing device comprises two tubes 1,1 'fixed in alignment with each other in a central housing 2, by means of fixing elements 3 , 3 '. 4,4 'hooking or holding members are mounted on the free end portions of the tubes 1,1', longitudinally displaceable to allow their respective positions to be adjusted; these 4.4 'organs include locking screws 5.5' to hold them on the tubes 1.1 'in the chosen position, and are provided with flanges 6.7 for fixing the respectively rear and anterior ends of a shoe ski (not shown), the blocking thereof being ensured by a locking lever 8 articulated on the front flange 7, this in a manner known per se.
  • the adjustment of the angle of the fixing relative to the longitudinal axis of the surf can be carried out by rotating the central box 2, and thereby the support tubes 1,1 ', on the plate 9, the screw 10 being released. In the operating position, the fastening is therefore maintained, in the chosen position, by tightening the screw 10 and thanks to the presence, between the plate 9 and the lower surface of the central housing 2, of the non-slip washers 12, 12 ′.
  • the angle between the binding and thereby the ski boot, and the longitudinal axis of the board is between 90 and an acute angle preferably greater than 30 °, the bindings intended for the two boots are not necessarily parallel one at the other on the upper surface of the surf.
  • the longitudinal movement of the fastening members 4,4 'on the respective tubes 1,1' makes it possible to obtain an adjustment of the length as a function of the size of the ski boot.
  • these fastening members 4,4 ′ can also be moved by pivoting around the tubes 1,1 ′, in order to adjust the plane of the boots relative to that of the surf, that is to say the lateral angle that forms the shoe and therefore the surfer's leg with the surface of the surf.
  • the second embodiment of the binding according to the invention illustrated schematically in Figures 4 to 7 differs from that which has just been described with reference to Figures 1 to 3 by the fact that it comprises only one support tube 21 coated with vulcanization manufacturing in an elastomer block 22, serving as a central housing; in addition, a preferably metallic plate 23 is also vulcanized on the lower surface of this block of elastomer 22.
  • the other constituent elements of the binding are the same as those of the first embodiment and are designated in FIGS. 3 to 7 by the same reference figures.
  • an elongated opening 24 can also be provided in a variant 24 in the plate 25, the latter having a preferably oval shape, as well as in the non-slip washer 26.
  • This opening 24 allows additional adjustment by displacement of the central housing 22 perpendicular to the axis of the support tube 21, that is to say an adjustment of the distance between the two fastenings of the surf.
  • this attachment may also include reinforcing rods 27, incorporated during manufacture in the elastomer block 22, in order to stiffen the latter in tension more on one side than on the other for example.
  • the support tubes 1,1 ′ or 21 of the binding according to the invention are preferably of circular section; they can also be of square or rectangular section, or other; however, in this case, the adjustment of the lateral angle is no longer possible, since the hooking members 4,4 ′ can only be moved axially on said tube and not in rotation around it.
  • the shape of the straps, as well as the attachment devices linked to the straps to hold the front and rear parts of the shoe, are independent of the principle of the invention. There are indeed many forms of known designs of flanges which can all be easily adapted on the fastener according to the invention.
  • the materials used for the production of the various elements of the binding are also independent of the principle of the invention, and by way of example these elements can be made of ferrous or non-ferrous metals, of composite materials, or of plastics.
  • the elastomer block serving as a central housing it can be made, for example, of a styrene-butadiene polymer, and in any case with a material which is not too sensitive to temperature variations, in particular as regards its properties elastic. These elastic properties indeed make it possible to impart a certain "flexibility" to the binding, which is sought after by users, and above all improved shock absorption characteristics which make its use more pleasant.
  • the attachment according to a third embodiment comprises a tube 31 which is mounted in a central housing 46.
  • This central housing 46 is mounted on profiled elements 32 which are fixed to a rotation plate 33 by screws 38,38 'and 38 ".
  • Elements 39 and 40 are mounted on each end of the tube 31.
  • Flanges 43,44 are fixed respectively on elements 39 and 40 and are intended to hold the front and rear parts respectively a shoe
  • the rotation plate 33 is held by a ring 34 which is fixed to a surface 35 by screws 45.
  • the rotation plate 33 and the ring 34 have grooves 48 which are intended to collaborate with each other. fixing angle with respect to the surf is adjustable by rotation of the rotation plate 33 in the ring 34.
  • the screws 45 are tightened and hold the fixing in the chosen position, the fixing being blocked d In this position by the grooves 48.
  • the angle of the binding is adjusted relative to the longitudinal axis of the surf by loosening the screws 45, which allows the rotation of the rotation plate 33.
  • the central housing 46 is fixed to the profiled elements 32 by screws 36 and 37 with nuts 49 and 50.
  • the screws 36 and 37 and the nuts 49 and 50 make it possible, when tightened, to keep the central housing in the service position.
  • the central housing 46 pivots on the screw 36 and the screw 37 can move in the opening 47 made in each of the profiled elements 32.
  • the pivoting of the housing central on screw 36 allows adjustment of the front angle of the binding.
  • the elements 39 and 40 which include the flanges 43 and 44, are mounted on the tube 31 and held in the service position by screws 41 and 42, the tightening of the screws making it possible to block the elements 39 and 40.
  • the loosening of the screws 41 and 42 allows the displacement of the elements 39 and 40 on the tube 31.
  • the longitudinal displacement of the elements 39 and 40 on the tube makes it possible to obtain the length adjustment, that is to say the adjustment which makes it possible to adjust the binding according to the different shoe sizes, therefore the different lengths of the soles shoes.
  • the elements 39 and 40 can pivot on the tube 31, which makes it possible to modify the lateral angle, that is to say the angle formed by the boot and therefore the leg of the surfer relative to on the surface of the surf.
  • Figure 10 shows the binding with a position with a large frontal angle. To obtain this position, the nut 49 of the screw 36 has been loosened in order to allow the pivoting of the central housing, therefore of the tube 31, on the screw 37 which collaborates with the nut 50, the screw 37 moving in the opening 47.
  • FIG. 11 shows a detailed view of the housing 46 and of the profiled elements 32 and 32 ′, with one of the screws 7 collaborating with one of the nuts 20.
  • FIG. 12 illustrates one of the flange elements 39 which consists of two elements , which are assembled together by tightening the screws 41 and 41 ', tightening which also causes the blocking of the element 39 on the tube 31, in the service position.
  • This figure 12 shows the fixing with a strong lateral angle.
  • the materials used for the production of the various elements of the binding as described with reference to FIGS. 8 to 12 are also independent of the principle of the invention, and by way of example these elements can be made of ferrous or non-ferrous metals, in composite materials, or in plastics.
  • the main advantage of the binding according to the invention lies in its numerous possibilities for easy and rapid adjustment, which is very important especially for the snowboard rental companies.
  • this attachment makes it possible to modify the length, the angle of position on the surf with respect to the longitudinal axis thereof and the lateral angle, as well as the distance between the two fastenings of the surf.
  • this binding can be easily and quickly adjusted not only as a function of the size of the ski boots, but also of the particular position desired for each user. It is more than a relatively lower cost price than known fasteners.
  • a fourth embodiment of the fixing device according to the invention comprises two support tubes 51, 51 'adjustable longitudinally.
  • These two tubes 51, 51 ' are in fact mounted to slide longitudinally in a support block 52 secured to the surf and axially connected by a threaded rod 53, the latter cooperating with a thread 54, 54' that each of the tubes 51, 51 has. '.
  • this threaded rod 53 is integral in rotation, thanks to a key 55, with a cylindrical adjustment member 56, so that the rotation of this adjustment member 56 causes the axial space to be lengthened or shortened. between the two tubes 51, 51 ', this in order to adjust the fastening device as a function of the length of the shoe to be fastened.
  • the locking of the device in the desired position is obtained by tightening a longitudinal slot 57 made in the support block 52 by means of a screw 58.
