Snowboard binding
A snowboard binding having a mounting plate for attachment to a snowboard in spaced-apart relation thereto, a clamping plate arranged between the snowboard and the mounting plate, a peg that projects from the clamping plate and extends through an opening in the mounting plate, a base plate that has an opening over which a hold-down plate extends, and a hold-down plate coupled to the clamping plate by means of a central opening via the peg. The mounting plate opening is substantially larger than the dimension of the peg of the clamping plate in two shift directions (x, y) extending perpendicular to each other, so that the clamping plate and the hold-down plate coupled with it can move, together with the base plate, relative to the mounting plate in the two shift directions. There is a positive-fit connection of the mounting plate to the clamping plate and/or the hold-down plate.
1. A snowboard binding comprising:
a mounting plate for attachment to a snowboard surface in spaced-apart relation thereto and having a mounting plate opening;
a clamping plate having a peg projecting through the mounting plate opening;
a base plate having a base plate opening;
a hold-down plate having a central hold-down plate opening for receiving the peg, wherein the hold-down plate extends over and beyond the base plate opening;
a clamp fixing the clamping plate and the hold-down plate to the mounting plate;
wherein the mounting plate opening is substantially larger than dimensions of the peg in two shift directions that are perpendicular to each other, so that the clamping plate, the hold-down plate, and the base plate can shift relative to the mounting plate in these two directions;
wherein there is a positive-fit connection of the mounting plate to the clamping plate and/or of the hold-down plate to the mounting plate; and
wherein the mounting plate is spaced apart from the surface of the snowboard by pedestals and the clamping plate has arms that can be pushed between adjacent pedestals, wherein the sum of the dimension of the peg in each shift direction and the length of each arm in each shift direction is greater than the width of the mounting plate opening in each shift direction.
2. The snowboard binding according to claim 1 wherein the mounting plate opening and the peg are dimensioned so that the shift in said two directions that are perpendicular to each other is at least 4 cm.
3. The snowboard binding according to claim 1 wherein the positive-fit connection is configured such that the shift in one direction is decoupled from the shift in the other direction.
4. The snowboard binding according to claim 2 wherein the positive-fit connection is configured such that the shift in one direction is decoupled from the shift in the other direction.
5. The snowboard binding according to claim 3 wherein the positive-fit connection comprises a toothed section extending in one direction.
6. The snowboard binding according to claim 4 wherein the positive-fit connection comprises a toothed section extending in one direction.
7. The snowboard binding according to claim 3 wherein the positive-fit connection comprises pins and elongated recesses where the elongated recesses extend in one direction.
8. The snowboard binding according to claim 5 wherein the positive-fit connection comprises pins and elongated recesses where the elongated recesses extend in one direction.
9. The snowboard binding according to claim 5 wherein the positive-fit connection further comprises elongated recesses and the longitudinal direction of the toothed sections and the longitudinal direction of the elongated recesses are at right angles to each other.
10. The snowboard binding according to claim 6 wherein the positive-fit connection further comprises elongated recesses and the longitudinal direction of the toothed sections and the longitudinal direction of the elongated recesses are at right angles to each other.
11. The snowboard binding according to claim 7 wherein each of the pins is associated with a group of elongated recesses, wherein each pin can be inserted into one recess of the group.
12. The snowboard binding according to claim 8 wherein each of the pins is associated with a group of elongated recesses, wherein each pin can be inserted into one recess of the group.
13. The snowboard binding according to claim 2 wherein the mounting plate is spaced apart from the surface of the snowboard by pedestals and the clamping plate has arms that can be pushed between adjacent pedestals, wherein the sum of the dimension of the peg in each shift direction and the length of each arm in each shift direction is greater than the width of the mounting plate opening in each shift direction.
14. The snowboard binding according to claim 3 wherein the mounting plate is spaced apart from the surface of the snowboard by pedestals and the clamping plate has arms that can be pushed between adjacent pedestals, wherein the sum of the dimension of the peg in each shift direction and the length of each arm in each shift direction is greater than the width of the mounting plate opening in each shift direction.
15. The snowboard binding according to claim 5 wherein the mounting plate is spaced apart from the surface of the snowboard by pedestals and the clamping plate has arms that can be pushed between adjacent pedestals, wherein the sum of the dimension of the peg in each shift direction and the length of each arm in each shift direction is greater than the width of the mounting plate opening in each shift direction.
16. The snowboard binding according to claim 7 wherein the mounting plate is spaced apart from the surface of the snowboard by pedestals and the clamping plate has arms that can be pushed between adjacent pedestals, wherein the sum of the dimension of the peg in each shift direction and the length of each arm in each shift direction is greater than the width of the mounting plate opening in each shift direction.
17. The snowboard binding according to claim 1 wherein the number of arms corresponds to the number of pedestals.
18. The snowboard binding according to claim 1 wherein between the mounting plate and the clamping plate or the hold-down plate there is a toothed section with pyramid-shaped teeth and corresponding recesses, wherein the teeth are arranged regularly in two shift directions.
19. The snowboard binding according to claim 1 wherein between the mounting plate and the clamping plate or the hold-down plate there is a toothed section with pyramid-shaped teeth and corresponding recesses, wherein the teeth are arranged regularly in two shift directions.
