The tip area of the tongue can be hinged to the baseplate via two individually adjustable toothed-belt ratchets (9,10) which slide through the two bridges (11) on the top of the toe part of the tongue. The corrugated part of the tongue may be made of softer plastics than the remaining tongue. The fastener (4,5) ratchets operate on a step-by-step overtaking principle. The slide fastener band (6) around the shin may be non-detachably joined to the rear spoiler (3), and be divided similar to the fastener (4) and can be pulled tight to the rear via side slots in the tongue (1).

Description

The invention relates to a binding device, in particular for a snowboard, consisting of a binding base plate, attached rear spoiler and at least two the shoe against the base plate holding locks.

Snowboard bindings for soft shoes usually have a base plate that is screwed to the snowboard and on the usually two to three closures for clamping the Shoes are articulated. The closures are alpine Ski boot buckles known lever buckles, Toothed belt ratchets, Velcro fasteners or also Cable buckles. To the snowboarder for transmission the taxpayers are to be given a good grip these closures with sufficient large adjustment ranges equipped with different shoe sizes take into account different sizes and volumes. There are such as soft snowboard bindings for freestyle Use with a padded instep strap and low Known rear spoiler or also for technical Disciplines with three fasteners with high rear spoiler and wide padded instep buckle. All manufacturers endeavor to the lateral and forward movements by good Padding as well as cushioning that is painless Pressure transmission with good foot-shoe contact is made possible.

However, these efforts are common in most binding variants only approximately successful because the gaps between the closures allow the movements, one Pressure distribution with increasing presentation but rather one pinch-like squeezing movement in the instep area. The progressive bending behavior of such a snowboard  Soft binding is therefore more from the internal friction of the Components dependent on or against each other and therefore often uncontrollable and can lead to premature fatigue and Cause driving errors.

There are also alpine ski boots, touring boots and hard-shell snowboard boots known for Facilitation of flexion movement in the median longitudinal plane of the Shoes and for controlled power transmission wavy rib structure in the forefoot-instep-shin area have (see for example US Patent 3,988,842 and published international patent application WO 81/00507).

The present invention is based on the object a binding device of the type mentioned improved and expanded compared to the prior art Usage benefits in terms of handling and comfort to create especially for a snowboarder.

To solve this problem it is proposed that a entire front area of the shoe saddle-shaped, flexible tongue at the front end in the toe area with the binding base plate perpendicular to the longitudinal axis is pivotally connected.

Through a saddle-shaped the entire front area of the shoe overlapping, flexible tongue, at the front end rotatably connected to the binding base plate in the toe area is an ideal power transmission with all-over Contact between shoe and tongue can be achieved. In addition is through a horizontal axis, perpendicular to the Longitudinal binding, swiveling tongue a convenient entry and exit Exit opening created. The tongue is across Saddle surface shaped like waves in torus section, in whose valleys the slide fasteners slide smoothly by one enable individual adaptation to the instep contour,  the pressing is free according to the need for comfort is selectable.

From another point of view, the starting point can be Invention also a binding-shoe combination, in particular for sports equipment such as snowboards, etc., comprising a binding assembly and one by clamping into the binding assembly stabilizable soft shoe, this Binding assembly executed with

• a) one designed to receive the sole of the shoe Binding baseplate,
• b) a rear shoe support to interact with a Rear area of the shoe,
• c) fixing means which - at least with the forefoot - Toe area and the instep area of the shoe interacting - fixing the shoe in the Binding assembly with sole system on the Binding base plate and rear shoe area system on the Back shoe support are used, these fixing means instep close to the instep at least in the instep area of the shoe Traction effect along one across the shoe traversing traction line with resulting To create a pressure effect on the shoe.

It is essential that the near the instep Tractive force generating means with one for abutment on the shoe molded pressure transfer plate cooperate, which is a in relation to the instep area shoe material has increased rigidity and the transmission of the Pressure from the instep near tensile force generators the shoe to a pressure transmission area on both sides of the Traction line expands.

In a preferred embodiment, the Pressure transfer plate adapted to the instep area and, if desired, also in adaptation to the  adjoining ankle-shin area or / and the subsequent forefoot-toe area saddle-shaped be trained. In this way, one can if desired up to the shin area and the toe Extensive area of the shoe Pressure transmission plate can be obtained, the one uniform pressure transmission with low surface pressure on the shoe. By additional, also with the pressure transfer plate cooperating Tractive force generating means in the forefoot toe area and / or lengthways in the ankle and lower leg area for generating tensile force corresponding additional traction lines can be a perfect one The shoe is clamped in the binding assembly will. Preferably, the near the instep or / and include additional tensile force generating means over the Pressure transmission plate traction cord means, wherein there is also the possibility that the near the instep or / and the additional tensile force generating means Granting tension on the pressure transmission plate attack this near the edge.

In order for many sporting activities, for example when freestyle riding with a snowboard, desired Mobility in the ankle area of the foot also in the Binding assembly will allow clamped shoe proposed that the pressure transfer plate by one to Middle plane of the shoe essentially orthogonal and Instep line essentially tangential virtual Bending axis reversible and preferably elastic is bendable. This bending deformability can can be achieved in that in the pressure transmission plate on the way between the ankle-splint area and the Forefoot-toe area at least one Flexibility increase zone is provided, which preferably runs essentially parallel to the instep line.

Appropriately, you will be the at least one Flexibility increase zone along one in the middle plane of the shoe  falling apex line offset from the traction lines arrange.

Furthermore, in at least one intermediate area between two defined by associated tensile force generating means Traction lines at least in the pressure transmission plate Area of their crown line falling into the middle of the shoe reversible in the direction of this apex line and preferably be resiliently variable in length. Especially in the instep It can be an advantage if the Pressure transfer plate compressible to some extent there and is elongatable. With relatively strong presentation / reserve Movements of the shoe wearer can hereby be significant Increased comfort can be achieved.

To get the variability in length you can in the Pressure transfer plate on the way between the ankle Shin area and forefoot-toe area at least provide a length compensation zone, which is preferably in runs essentially parallel to the instep line. Analogous to The flexibility increase zones also become the least a length compensation zone expediently along the Arrange the apex line offset from the traction lines.

It is possible that at least one zone of flexibility increase and at least one length compensation zone of one common deformation-facilitating structure are formed.

In further training the binding-shoe combination can the pressure transmission plate at least one structure to facilitate deformation, which transversely to one in the middle of the shoe from the ankle Shin area extending to the forefoot toe area Crest line extends. The easing of deformation The structure can be weakened by the material Pressure transfer plate or / and by changing the material the pressure transmission plate and / or by preformed  Folding or ribbing should be formed. Such a fold or Ribbing of the pressure transmission plate is advantageous be designed so that the risk of crushing the underlying shoe material when the Pressure transfer plate does not exist.

A variable adaptability of the binding assembly this can result in different shoe sizes and shoe shapes be achieved that the instep near Tractive force generating means and / or the additional Tractive force generator on the binding base plate are pivotally anchored.

The pressure transmission plate can be a loose part, which inserted under drawstrings or straps and through this layer is fixed. However, it is more convenient and if the pressure transfer plate is permanently attached to the Binding base plate is connected. To make it easy to get in and out Get out of a shoe in or out of the binding assembly to enable it is proposed that the Pressure transfer plate in the forefoot toe area by one joint axis near toe articulated and translational to this Articulated axis movably coupled to the binding base plate is. For this purpose, the pressure transfer plate in the Forefoot-toe area through there on the binding base plate attached additional tensile force means attached be, by relaxing this additional Tractive force generating means the translational mobility the pressure transmission plate is made possible.

The pressure transmission plate can at least in the forefoot Side toe adjustable across the center of the shoe be. This is another individual Possibility to adapt to different shoe shapes and sizes given. The lateral adjustability of the Pressure transfer plate can be done in a simple manner achieved that the pressure transmission plate in  Forefoot-toe area on both sides of the middle of the shoe arranged, oppositely variable in length Tractive force generation means across the shoe center plane is adjustable.

The pressure transfer plate can also in Be adjustable in the longitudinal direction of the binding base plate. Here can the longitudinal adjustability of the pressure transmission plate the pivotability of the near the instep Tractive force generating means and / or additional Tractive force generating means across to the shoe center plane running swivel axes opposite the binding base plate are based. Alternatively or additionally, the Longitudinal adjustment also on a translatory Adjustment of the anchoring points near the instep Tractive force generating means and / or additional Tractive force generating means in the longitudinal direction of the Binding base plate based. Due to the longitudinal adjustability the pressure transmission plate opposite the binding base plate can be further customized to different Types of shoes can be made.

One configuration is used for the rear shoe support preferred, in the manner of a heel area or / and covering the Achilles tendon area of the shoe Spoilers is trained. In addition to its support on the The shoe can also at least support the rear shoe on part of its length by side guide means of Binding base plate to be guided laterally.

While for the instep traction generating means and any additional tensile force means provided in the Forefoot-toe area Locking mechanisms with tooth bands will be preferred for the additional Tractive force generator in the ankle and lower leg area suggested that they be a preferably pulley-like trained ankle tension band, for example in the manner of a  Velcro fastener that can be easily removed in a few simple steps, include which between the pressure transfer plate and the preferably designed as a spoiler Rear shoe support is effective.

One in addition to the pressure distribution on enlarged Area areas essential function of Pressure transfer plate can also be that they strong presentation of the lower leg of its return to one approximately upright starting position like a Return spring supported. This is for example for Snowboard beginners or even untrained, with one weak musculoskeletal athletes helpful that Have trouble in strong template from your own Force back to the upright starting position to return. It is therefore proposed that the Pressure transfer plate in terms of their shape or / and their position or / and their stiffness or / and their Coupling to the binding base plate or Back shoe support is designed such that it has a targeted, in particular substantial contribution to Template / reserve resistance for the ankle lower leg Area supplies. This post the pressure transfer plate to submission / reserve resistance is then particularly from Meaning if the rear shoe support only one comparatively small contribution to this template / reserve Resistance can contribute.

As essential advantages of the binding according to the invention Shoe combination can therefore be a by Pressure transfer plate reduced surface pressure on the Shoe while maintaining the necessary Agility for the foot, creating an elastic Template resistance especially in the event that the Back shoe support is not sufficient Template resistance can provide, as well as adaptability the binding assembly to different shoe sizes and  - hold on to shapes.

The invention will now be described with reference to the accompanying Drawings explained in more detail. They represent:

Fig. 1 is a snowboard binding in an oblique view from the front with a clamped therein snowboard soft boot,

Fig. 2 snowboard binding of FIG. 1 in an opened state, which allows ingress and egress of a dot-dash lines the shoe,

Fig. 3 is a view identical to Fig. 1 for explaining geometric coordinates of the binding shoe system shown there and

Fig. 4 is similar to another embodiment of a snowboard binding with clamped therein shoe in a view to FIG. 1.

The snowboard binding shown in FIG. 1 comprises a binding assembly with a pressure transmission plate 1 designed as a saddle-shaped tongue, a binding base plate 2 , a rear shoe support in the form of a rear spoiler 3 , a closure 4 in the forefoot toe region, a closure 5 in the instep region as well as a closure 6 spanning the lower shin area near the ankle. A shoe 19 is firmly clamped in the binding assembly. It rests with its sole on the binding base plate 2 and with its Achilles tendon area on the rear spoiler 3 . It is guided laterally in the binding assembly by side flanges 30 formed on the binding base plate 2 . The tongue 1 is raised approximately vertically upwards from the instep region to the ankle-shin region of the shoe 19 and extends forward to the forefoot toe region of the shoe 19 . It lies flat on the shoe made of soft material and has a greater rigidity than the shoe material. It is preferably, but not necessarily, in one piece and can be made of plastic, for example polyurethane.

By tightening the closures 4 , 5 , 6 , tensile forces can be generated along corresponding tractive force lines Z1, Z2 and Z3 (see FIG. 3), which lead to the tongue 1 being pressed against the shoe 19 and so on is stabilized in the binding assembly. By releasing the fasteners 4 , 5 , 6 , the pressure on the shoe 19 can be released and the shoe 19 can be released from the binding assembly.

The tongue 1 has a ribbing with three wavy ribs 7 , which follow one another in the direction of a crest line S falling into the shoe center plane M (see FIG. 3), starting from the instep area in the direction of the conveyor foot toe area. The ribs form structures which facilitate deformation and extend essentially parallel to an instep line R in the instep area (see FIG. 3). On the one hand, they facilitate a bending movement of the approximately vertical shin section of the tongue 1 relative to the approximately horizontal forefoot section of the tongue 1 lying on the back of the shoe during an initial movement of the snowboard rider by a bending axis B that is essentially orthogonal to the center plane of the shoe and essentially tangential to the instep line R (see Fig. 3). The tongue 1 is designed such that this bending movement is elastically reversible, so that a restoring force acts on the shin area of the snowboard driver when the snowboard rider moves forward as a result of the bending elasticity of the tongue 1 . On the other hand allow the ribs 7 has a length compensation of the tongue 1 in the direction of the apex line S, so that in parallel to the tongue 1 in the direction of the apex line S acts on the tongue 1 pulling or pushing forces, a certain compression or Elongierung the tongue 1 is possible. This can be particularly advantageous in the case of strong forward and backward movements of the snowboard rider, as occurs, for example, in freestyle use, in order to increase the convenience and comfort of the binding.

The ribs 7 are distributed along the apex line S in such a way that the instep close closure 5 runs in a trough 8 delimited between two successive ribs 7 . Through the ribs 7 adjacent on both sides of the closure 5 , it is guided in an approximately form-fitting manner, which leads to an essentially non-slip positioning of the tongue 1 . Of course, it is also conceivable to place the remaining closures 4 and 6 in such troughs 8 , although in the exemplary embodiments shown, the closures 4 and 6 extend laterally outside the ribs 7 over the shoe 19 in the direction of the apex line S.

The toe-near closure 4 comprises two separate toothed belt parts 9 and 10 , which are pivotally connected on both sides of the shoe center plane M at their lower end 12 to the binding base plate 2 by screws 13 about a pivot axis A1 (see FIG. 3). Bridge-shaped elevations 11 are formed on the tongue 1 , through which the toothed belt parts 9 and 10 pass. Each of the toothed belt parts 9 and 10 is a toothed slide 32 (only one of which is shown in the figures), which are fastened to the tongue 1 and are in engagement with the tooth surface of the associated toothed belt part 9 and 10 , respectively. By finger actuation, the toothed slide 32 can be lifted out of the tooth surface of the associated toothed belt part 9 or 10 and the closure 4 can be released or tensioned.

The ristbeugenahe shutter 5 is rotatably or pivotally connected also by means of screw 14 about a pivot axis A2 (see FIG. 3) with the binding base plate 2. It comprises a toothed belt 34 attached to one side of the binding base plate 2 in its heel area and a ratchet lever 16 which is fastened to a holding strap 36 which is also articulated in the heel area on the opposite side of the binding base plate 2 . The holding strap 36 designed with the ratchet lever 16 is so long that it runs over the shoe 19 and the tongue 1 and the ratchet lever 16 is in engagement with the toothed belt 34 in a lateral outer region of the shoe 19 designated in FIG. 2 with 15. The toothed belt ratchet lever mechanism formed in this way can be completely released, so that the tongue 1, which is only held on the closure 4 , can be swung forward about the pivot axis A1, as can be clearly seen in FIG. 2.

The upper closure 6 can also be completely released in order to allow the shoe 19 to get on and off. It is designed as a Velcro fastener and comprises a fastener tape 38 made with a Velcro material 17 , which is held firmly on the rear spoiler 3 . For this purpose, it is threaded through a pair of slots in the upper middle region 18 of the rear spoiler 3 , as can be seen in FIG. 2.

Fig. 2 shows the tongue 1 in an open position in which it is inclined forward by approximately 45 °. The closures 5 and 6 are fully open, the closure 4 close to the tip acts as a hinge for the tongue 1 . The dash-dotted shoe 19 is in the process of slipping out of or into the binding, and its heel area 20 can swivel past the rear spoiler 3 with ease. The toe 21 forms a momentary pivot point for the shoe. The saddle-shaped tongue 1 is connected for adjustment in the toe area with the closure 4 , which can be adjusted on both sides or only on one side, and which is longitudinally adjustable in relation to the binding base plate 2 inside and outside in various holes 22 in the longitudinal direction L of the binding base plate 2 (see FIG. 3) . If desired, the rear spoiler 3 can also be longitudinally adjustable with respect to the binding base plate 2 .

The handling or mode of operation of the snowboard binding is as follows: The snowboard rider slips into the opened binding shown in FIG. 2 with the toe of the shoe so far forward that the heel 20 can easily pivot past the rear spoiler 3 downward. The tongue 1 is opened so far forward that its instep and shin area do not hinder the slipping on shoe 19 .

The closures 4 , 5 , 6 are closed or tensioned one after the other starting from the tip, so that a full, non-positive fit of the tongue 1 is achieved on the entire forefoot, toe and shin area of the shoe 19 . The position of the closure 4 close to the toe can be varied on both sides in its position relative to the center plane of the shoe M in order to correspond to individual anatomical conditions.

If the snowboard rider wants to free his rear foot from the binding with a drag lift, it is sufficient to loosen the fastener 5 and 6 near the instep and near the shin, which enables a quick return after the lift without having to readjust the toe 4 .

Fig. 4 shows a binding which corresponds essentially to that of Figs. 1 to 3. It differs essentially only in that the tongue 1 and the rear spoiler 3 are shorter in the ankle and lower leg area than in the previous exemplary embodiment. The tongue 1 now extends insignificantly beyond the instep area into the ankle-shin area, which is why the Velcro fastener 6 provided in the previous embodiment is omitted in the ankle-shin area. The handling of this binding, which is carried out with only two closures, namely closures 5 and 6 , is accordingly easier and faster. In view of its lower stability in the ankle-shin area, it is particularly suitable for applications in which great mobility of the foot is desired.

For the front and rear binding of a snowboard, tongues of different bending behavior can be used, depending on the skill level and comfort of the snowboard driver and the area of application of the snowboard, for example by using plastics of different elastic modules for the tongues 1 . It is also conceivable to design the ribs 7 by producing the tongues 1 in a compound injection molding process (CH Patent 669,498, US Patent 4,793,077) with different bending stiffness or to provide openings 7 instead of the ribs which are filled with inserts of the same size made of rubber or other elastomers will. Finally, by increasing the tension of the closures 4 , 5 , 6 running through the troughs 8 of the tongue 1 , a change in the bending behavior can be achieved, so that the individual comfort requirements of the snowboard rider can be met. Getting out of the binding takes place in reverse order, the tongue 1 , which can be swiveled away as a whole, ensuring quick and easy handling.

In summary, a bond with a Closure device described, which a shoe soft upper material and with flexible sole in the area of the Forefoot, the instep and the lower shin spreads. For this purpose, a saddle-shaped, ribbed tongue in the tip area of a binding base plate near the toe pivoted to this and in the instep and shinbone Detachable area held on this with buckles. The Locking device is part of a snowboard soft  Binding. But it is just as suitable for inline, ice and Roller skates as well as for snow shoes and firn gliders.
