Snowboard binding with rear step-in and securing of boot by toe element

Abstract

This invention relates to a rear-step-in snowboard binding with a leg support, which is swivel-fastened between a rear step-in position, in which a boot that can be held in the snowboard binding can be inserted from rear to front into the snowboard binding, and a front riding position, and with a toe element, by which a front area of a boot that can be held in the snowboard binding can be overlapped at least partially, in such a way that it is held forward, whereby the leg support can be locked in the front riding position in such a way that a boot that can be held in the snowboard binding can be secured by the leg support and the toe element in its longitudinal direction relative to the snowboard binding, and whereby the preliminary pivoting of the leg support into the front riding position ensures the securing of the boot.

1 . Rear-step-in snowboard binding with a leg support ( 4 ), which is swivel-fastened between a rear step-in position (E), in which a boot that can be held in the snowboard binding ( 1 ) can be inserted from rear to front into the snowboard binding ( 1 ), and a front riding position (F), and with a toe element ( 7 ), by which a front area of a boot that can be held in the snowboard binding ( 1 ) can be overlapped at least partially, in such a way that it is held forward, whereby the leg support ( 4 ) can be locked in the front riding position (F) in such a way that a boot that can be held in the snowboard binding ( 1 ) can be secured by the leg support ( 4 ) and the toe element ( 7 ) in its longitudinal direction (L) relative to the snowboard binding ( 1 ), and whereby the preliminary pivoting of the leg support ( 4 ) into the front riding position (F) ensures the securing of the boot. 
   
   
       2 . Binding according to  claim 1 , characterized in that a boot that can be held in the snowboard binding ( 1 ) can be tightened by the preliminary pivoting of the leg support ( 4 ) into the front riding position (F) between the leg support ( 4 ) and the toe element ( 7 ). 
   
   
       3 . Binding according to  claim 1 , wherein the leg support ( 4 ) and the toe element ( 7 ) are arranged on a common base plate ( 2 ). 
   
   
       4 . Binding according to  claim 1 , wherein the toe element ( 7 ) is arranged in such a way that a front area of a boot that can be held in the snowboard binding ( 1 ) can also overlap from above and/or on the sides. 
   
   
       5 . Binding according to  claim 1 , wherein the leg support ( 4 ) in the front riding position (F) can be locked in a forward tilt, which is tilted in such a way that a rear area of a boot that can be held in the snowboard binding ( 1 ) is also held upward in the snowboard binding ( 1 ). 
   
   
       6 . Binding according to  claim 4 , wherein a boot that can be held in the snowboard binding ( 1 ), preferably between two side walls ( 3 ), can be secured exclusively by the toe element ( 7 ) and by the leg support ( 4 ) to the snowboard binding ( 1 ). 
   
   
       7 . Binding according to  claim 6 , wherein the elements ( 4 ,  7 ) for attaching a boot that can be held in the snowboard binding ( 1 ) comprise exclusively one toe element ( 7 ) and one leg support ( 4 ) as well as in particular two side walls ( 3 ). 
   
   
       8 . Binding according to  claim 1 , wherein locking means that comprise at least one traction mechanism ( 5 ) that encompasses the leg support ( 4 ) and that can be tightened by a locking lever ( 6 ) are provided to lock the leg support ( 4 ) in the front riding position (F).
