FIXATION OF BINDING BOARD TO SPLITBOARD SKIS

Abstract

Fixation of a binding board to skis demountable connected into a form of a splitboard uses a sliding demountable setting of bearing pins in eyes formed on adjacent areas of the board and a clamp fixed to the skis. The essence of the invention is a fixation of the lateral parts of the eyes by stoppers which partially overreach into the cross sections of the eyes. The diameter of the bearing pins basically corresponds with the diameters of the eyes. The bearing pins are equipped with circular recesses for engaging of the stoppers and also with end parts formed as from above one-sidedly reduced conical tips.

Claims

1. Fixation of a board of a binding to a ski of a splitboard which is formed by two skis, which are demountable way connectable into a form a snowboard board with use of sliding demountable setting of bearing pins in eyes which are formed coaxially on adjacent areas of connected elements, wherein, the lateral parts of the eyes are fixed by stoppers, which are formed and placed in the way that they partially overreach into the cross sections of the eyes, where the diameter of the bearing pins basically corresponds with the diameters of the eyes, whereas the bearing pins are not only equipped with circular recesses, whose spacing corresponds with the spacing of formation of the stoppers, but also are equipped in an end part with an one-sidedly from above reduced conical tip.

2. Fixation of the board of the binding to skis of the splitboard according to the claim 1, wherein, the eyes are formed on a front face of the board, whereas they are with regard to a lengthwise axis of the board laterally offset and the bearing pins are fixed on a clamp.

3. Fixation of the board of the binding to skis of the splitboard according to the claim 1, wherein, the reduction of a conical tip is beveled and an upper edge of the bevel is in plane which is tangent to a cylindrical area of the circular recess.

4. Fixation of the board of the binding to skis of the splitboard according to the claim 2, wherein, the reduction of a conical tip is beveled and an upper edge of the bevel is in plane which is tangent to a cylindrical area of the circular recess.

[0017] The drawings which illustrate introduced invention and described example of particular design do not, in any case, anyhow limit the extent of the protection stated in the definition; yet merely clarify the essence of the invention.

EXAMPLES OF DESIGN OF THE INVENTION

[0018] The invention is designed for use for a splitboard which is formed by two skis 1 which are illustrated in FIG. 1, which are by the help of two couples of unmarked central connectors and two vertex connectors on a tip and a foot of standard design ski 1 which is demountable way connected into a shape of a snowboard board. The subject of protection is fixation of a board 2 of binding to ski 1 by the help of its fixation with a front clamp 3 which is illustrated in FIG. 2.

[0019] On a front face 21 of the board 2 are formed two eyes 22, which are with regard to a lengthwise axis of the board 2 laterally offset, whereas lateral parts of these eyes 22 are in the front face 21 fixed by the help of stoppers 23, which are formed and positioned in the way that they partially overreach into cross section of the eyes 22. The front clamp 3 is formed by a flat fork console, whose broken connecting cross member 31 is on its vertex and also in end parts of side arms 32 equipped with unmarked openings which enable demountable fixation of the clamp 3 to the ski 1 by the help of screw connections. On the side arms 32 are coaxially formed cases 33 in the way that their spacing is equal with spacing of the eyes 22 which are formed on the front face 21 of the board 2. In the cases 33 is fixed a couple of co-directionally oriented bearing pins 4, whose diameter basically corresponds with the diameters of the eyes 22 of the front face 21 and which are equipped with a circular recesses 41, whose cross section corresponds with the cross section of fixation of the stoppers 23 on the front face 21 of the board 2 and also are equipped in an end part with a one-sidedly from above reduced conical tip 42 formed in the way that the upper edge of its reduction is in the plane tangent to a cylindrical area of the circular recess 41.

[0020] During assembly of the splitboard are on both skis 1 fixed, into predetermined positions its stationary functional elements, namely the front clamps 3. During reconfiguration of the splitboard into ascending mode are at first unlocked locks of central connectors and vertex connectors and the skis 1 are placed into position which is illustrated in FIG. 1. Then is each board 2 placed into a vertical position which is illustrated in FIG. 4a) and laterally with its eyes 22 is placed into the cases 33 of the clamp 3, as it is clear from the FIG. 4b). In the next step is the board 2 90° turned as it is illustrated in FIG. 4c), and herewith comes to locking of the stopper 23 into the circular recess 41 of the bearing pin 4 of the clamp 3 and coupling of the board 2 with the ski 1, and by this step is installation terminated. For release of the board 2 from the clamp 3 is the process analogic in reverse order.

[0021] Described design is not only possible solution according to the invention, but without influence on its essence is possible to design the connecting cross member 31 of the clamp 3 and its side arms 32 according to size and design of the board 2. Also it is not important if the eyes 22 are formed on the board 2 and the bearing pins 4 on the clamp 3 or if are these elements formed opposite way, thus the bearing pins 4 on the front face 21 of the board 2 and the eyes 22 on the clamp 3, as it is illustrated in FIG. 5.

INDUSTRIAL UTILITY

[0022] The design of fixation of the board of the binding to ski is designed for use for the splitboard whose design is aimed at provision of maximal comfort of the users with guarantee of simple manipulation during reconfiguration and minimization of failures of functional components.
