- 1. Field of the Invention
- The present invention relates generally to boot binding mechanisms. More specifically, the present invention relates to a snowboard boot binding mechanism that has a pair of engagement rods fixedly attached to a fixed plate and a second pair of engagement rods fixedly attached to a slidably movable plate to selectively engage and lock a snowboard boot in the boot binding mechanism.
- 2. Description of the Related Art
- A recently popular sport, snowboarding presents operating conditions and physical demands to boot bindings that are somewhat dissimilar to other skiing-type sports. That is because in snowboarding, the operator stands with both feet on the snowboard such that both feet are typically disposed at an angle with respect to the longitudinal direction of the ski. Given the sophisticated structure of presently manufactured boots for ski-type sports and, the operating conditions the boots are subject to, a reliable and tight connection in between the boot and the snowboard is required.
- An attempted solution to this problem is disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 4,973,073 to Raines et al., issued on Nov. 27, 1990. The boot sole 40 of Raines is modified to have a
binding ridge ridge 50 is received by apivoting entrapment member 70. To release a boundboot 18, the user simply pushes thehandle 102 away from the boot until thehooking lip 76 is in an open position and the secondbinding bridge 50 can be lifted out of thesecond socket 72. Accordingly, during use the snowboard binding can be rather easily inadvertently opened if handle 102 or any part ofmember 70 is accidentally pushed away from the boot. - U.S. Pat. No. 4,063,752 to Whittaker issued on Dec. 20, 1977 discloses a ski binding that includes two
opposing latch members 28 that each move towards and away from each other to control the latch operation. Anengagement plate 32 is secured to the bottom of the boot by screws and haslatch receiving formations 34 disposed at its marginal edges. - Notwithstanding the foregoing boot binding mechanisms, there are still major problems involved. The binding mechanisms are typically mounted on the ski or snowboard and are disposed in such a matter that outside forces can easily cause an accidental release of the binding mechanism. Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide a snowboard boot binding mechanism that permits selective engagement and locking of the snowboard boot while simultaneously preventing an inadvertent release of the boot from the locked position. It is a further object of the present invention to provide a boot binding mechanism that includes a base member which acts as a housing to enclose most of the moving parts of the boot binding mechanism to thereby minimize the risk of an accidental release of the binding from the locked position. It is a further object to provide a boot binding mechanism that permits the binding mechanism to clamp the boot sole from the side, i.e., from the in-step area of the foot. It is a further object to provide a snowboard boot binding mechanism that requires less parts and thus, is smaller and easier to manufacture. It is still a further object of the present invention that the snowboard boot binding mechanism be simple and cost effective to manufacture, yet reliable and efficient in use.
- In accordance with a preferred embodiment demonstrating further objects, features and advantages of the invention, a snowboard boot binding mechanism includes a base member having a recessed channel. A first plate is slidably attached to the base member. A first pair of engagement rods are fixedly attached to the first plate. Each of the first pair of engagement rods have a head disposed at an axial end of the rod for selectively engaging and locking a first bar attached to a first side of the snowboard boot. A second plate is fixedly attached to the base member. A second pair of engagement rods are fixedly attached to the second plate. Each of the second pair of engagement rods having a head disposed at an axial end of the rod for engaging and locking a second bar attached to a second side of the snowboard boot which is disposed opposite to the first side.

In the embodiment of the invention shown in the drawings, therecesses 204 are disposed in the in-step area of the sole 200 of the boot, and extend only partially across the width of the boot as shown inFIGS. 3-4 .Bar member 108 may alternatively not be embedded in the sole, but may be connected to the sole of the snowboard boot, with or without a reinforcing plate depending on the stresses that will be applied to the bar. Side-portions FIGS. 3 and 4 so that the upper portion of theside 110 can be selectively engaged with the first pair ofengagement rods head portions engagement plate 68 lock the boot in the binding mechanism as illustrated inFIG. 4 . Theopposite side 112 of thebar member 108 is exposed along its upper surface to permithead portions engagement rods engagement plate 90 to engage and to lock the snowboard boot in the binding mechanism when the first plate is in the locked position as illustrated inFIG. 4 . As shown fromFIGS. 2-4 , thebar member 108 is disposed between the heel and ball area of the boot, and does not extend beyond thelateral sidewalls 206 of the boot, such that thebar 108 is contained within the boundaries of the boot without extending beyond its lateral sides. - The operation of the boot binding mechanism will be described below with reference to
FIGS. 2-4 . A user wearing asnowboard boot 120 having anupper portion 202 and a closedloop bar member 108 embedded in its sole 200 steps within the open binding mechanism and positions thesecond side 112 of thebar member 108 into the engaged position below heads 96, 98 and belowengagement plate 90 as illustrated inFIGS. 2 and 3 . - To lock the boot within the binding mechanism the user then pulls upwardly on
handle member 26 in the direction indicated by arrow A inFIG. 4 . This upper movement ofhandle member 26 causes handlemember 26 to rotate in the direction indicated by arrow A and to translate in a direction indicated by arrow C inFIG. 4 . At the same time,link member 28 pivots about fixedpin 34 in the direction indicated by arrow B, which is opposite to the direction of arrow A. Additionally, simultaneously with the pivoting movements,first plate 14 is slidably moved in the direction indicated by arrow C from the open position as illustrated inFIG. 3 to the closed position as illustrated inFIG. 4 . As can be seen inFIGS. 3 and 4 , ashandle member 26 is pivoted in the upward position,pivot pin 30 slides in the direction indicated by arrow C. Whenpin 32 passes over an imaginary line extending betweenpins FIG. 4 . In the closed position, the handle is in what is known as an over-centered position. The first set ofengagement rods FIG. 3 to the closed position as illustrated inFIG. 4 , such that theheads engagement plate 68 selectively engage and lock thefirst side 110 of thebar member 108 in the boot binding mechanism. If desired, a conventional latch (not shown) may be placed ontohandle member 26 to further prevent an inadvertent pivoting of the handle member. However, in most cases the pressure applied from the boot and the base member will be sufficient to maintain the handle in the stable, over-centered position illustrated inFIG. 4 . - To unlock the boot, the user simply pushes down and rotates handle
member 26 in the direction indicated by arrow B inFIG. 3 . Because of the linkage mechanism, this movement will causehandle member 26 to rotate in the direction indicated by arrow B and to translate in the direction indicated by arrow D. Thus, because of the link between thefirst plate 14, and thehandle member 26, thesecond plate 14 is slidably moved in the direction indicated by arrow D to the open position as illustrated inFIG. 3 . The user can now simply step out of the boot binding mechanism. - Having described the presently preferred exemplary embodiment of a new and improved snowboard boot binding mechanism, in accordance with the present invention, it is believed that other modifications, variations and changes will be suggested to those skilled in the ant in view of the teachings set forth herein. It is, therefore, to be understood that all such variations, modifications, and changes are believed to fall within the scope of the present invention as defined by the appended claims.
