Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf eine Snowboardhose für eine Snowboardbindung gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Patentanspruches 1.The invention relates to a snowboard pants for a Snowboard binding according to the preamble of the claim 1.

Auf der ISPO in München wurde am 24.02.1994 öffentlich eine Bindung ausgestellt, die einen fest mit dem Snowboard verbundenen Frontbügel hatte, der den Vorderteil der Stiefelsohle übergriff und damit fixierte. Durch den fersenseitigen Teil der Stiefelsohle war ein quer zur Stiefellängsachse verlaufender Bolzen eingesteckt, der beidseitig um etwa 5 bis 10 mm aus der Stiefelsohle herausragte. Ein fest mit dem Snowboard zu verschraubendes Fersenelement bestand aus zwei parallel zueinander verlaufenden und senkrecht von der Snowboardoberfläche abstehenden Seitenwangen, die ein senkrecht verlaufendes Langloch aufwiesen, in das der seitlich aus dem Schuh herausstehende Teil des Bolzens eingeführt werden konnte. Eine Rastvorrichtung an den Seitenwangen hatte die Form eines Hakens, der beim Einführen der Bolzen in die Langlöcher zurückgedrückt wurde und diese damit öffnete, während er bei vollständig in den Langlöchern aufgenommenen Bolzenteilen durch Federkraft in eine Verriegelungsstellung schnappte und damit die Bolzen arretierte. Zum Öffnen der Bindung mußte ein Hebel an einer der Seitenwangen betätigt werden, wodurch die Bügel in die Öffnungsstellung gebracht wurden und der Fersenteil des Schuhs aus der Bindung entnommen werden konnte. Diese auf der ISPO ausgestellte Bindung ist auch in der nachveröffentlichten DE 43 11 630 A1 beschrieben.At the ISPO in Munich it became public on February 24, 1994 issued a binding that sticks to the snowboard had connected front bar to the front of the sole of the boot attacked and thus fixed. Through the heel side Part of the sole of the boot was a cross to the longitudinal axis of the boot running bolt inserted, the on both sides by about 5 to 10 mm protruded from the sole of the boot. A feast heel element to be screwed to the snowboard of two parallel and perpendicular Sidewalls protruding from the surface of the snowboard had a vertical elongated hole in which the Part of the stud protruding laterally from the shoe could be introduced. A locking device on the side cheeks had the shape of a hook that when inserted the bolt was pushed back into the elongated holes and these with it opened while being completely in the elongated holes received bolt parts by spring force in a locking position snapped and locked the bolts. A lever on one of the side bolsters was required to open the binding are operated, causing the bracket to be in the open position were brought and the heel part of the shoe could be removed from the binding. This on the Binding issued by ISPO is also in the post-published DE 43 11 630 A1 described.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, eine Snowboardhose für eine Snowboardbindung, bei der ein Teil der Bindung am Snowboardstiefel angeordnet ist, zu schaffen, durch die sich der Benutzungskomfort der Bindung verbessern läßt.The object of the invention is to provide a pair of snowboard pants Snowboard binding, in which part of the binding on Snowboard boots are arranged to create through that the ease of use of the binding can be improved.

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 resolved. Advantageous refinements and developments the invention can be found in the subclaims.

Im folgenden wird die Erfindung anhand eines Ausführungsbeispiels im Zusammenhang mit der Fig. 1 erläutert:In the following the invention is based on an embodiment explained in connection with FIG. 1:

Fig. 1 zeigt eine Snowboardhose 73 gemäß der Erfindung. Hierbei ist ein Zugorgan 12 zum Öffnen der Bindung noch weiter verlängert ist und teilweise auch in die Kleidung, d. h. in die Snowboardhose 73 des Fahrers integriert ist. Das Zugorgan kann damit in beliebige Höhe geführt werden, wie es für den Fahrer am bequemsten ist. Zweckmäßig hat sich erwiesen, wenn das Zugorgan etwa bis zur Höhe des Oberschenkels geführt ist, wo es von der Hand des Fahrers ohne irgendein Bücken ergriffen werden kann. Hierzu ist eine am freien Ende des Zugorganes 12 angebrachte Schlaufe 13 über einen Karabiner-Haken 71 oder eine sonstige, leicht zu betätigende Einhängevorrichtung mit einem Verlängerungsgurt 72 verbunden, wobei dieser Gurt 72 vorzugsweise im Inneren der Snowboard-Hose geführt ist und erst an einer Öffnung 76 nach außen tritt. Dort hat der Verlängerungsgurt 72 eine weitere Schlaufe 77, die von der Hand ergriffen werden kann. Diese Schlaufe 77 ist durch ein Gummiband 78, das beispielsweise am Gürtel der Hose oder an einer an der Hose angenähten Schlaufe befestigt ist, in seiner Position gehalten.Fig. 1 shows a snowboard pants 73 according to the invention. Here is a traction element 12 for opening the binding is further extended and sometimes also in clothing, d. H. is integrated into the driver's snowboard pants 73. The traction element can thus be guided to any height as it is most convenient for the driver. Appropriately proved itself when the traction element approximately up to the height of the Thigh is where it is held by the driver's hand can be grasped without any stooping. This is a loop attached to the free end of the traction element 12 13 via a carabiner hook 71 or another, light Attachment device to be operated with an extension strap 72 connected, this belt 72 preferably in Is inside the snowboard pants and only on one Opening 76 comes out. There is the extension belt 72 another loop 77, which is gripped by hand can be. This loop 77 is through a rubber band 78, for example on the belt of the pants or on one attached to the trousers sewn loop in his Position held.

Die meisten heutigen Snowboard-Hosen haben eine die Oberseite eines Stiefels 1 teilweise übergreifende Manschette 74, die in Höhe des Schienbeines längs einer Naht 75 angenäht ist. Der Verlängerungsgurt 72 ist in diesem Bereich zwischen der Hose 73 und der Manschette 74 geführt. Wenn der Fahrer den Stiefel 1 anzieht, so muß er lediglich einmal den Verlängerungsgurt 72 über den Karabiner-Haken 71 mit der Schlaufe 14 des Zugorganes 12 verbinden und hat dann für den gesamten Tag den hohen Komfort bei der Bedienung der Bindung.Most snowboard pants today have a top of a boot 1 partially overlapping cuff 74, which are sewn at the level of the shin along a seam 75 is. The extension belt 72 is between in this area the pants 73 and the cuff 74 out. If the driver attracts the boot 1, so he only has to once Extension belt 72 over the carabiner hook 71 with the Connect loop 14 of the tension member 12 and then has for all day the high comfort in the operation of the Binding.
