The invention relates to a binding mechanism (1) for sports devices (2), in particular for a snowboard (4), provided with a base plate (11) for fixing to a sports device (2) and for supporting a sports shoe (3), on which a support (25) is retained, aligned substantially perpendicular thereto for supporting the rearward cuff region or back region of a sports shoe (3). This support (25) is mounted so as to be pivotable about a pivot axis (27) and is restricted by stops extending substantially parallel with the standing plane (19) of the base plate (11) and substantially transversely to the binding longitudinal axis (18). This support (25) consists of at least a first and a second support part (38, 39), at least partially overlapping, and arranged one after the other in the direction of the binding longitudinal axis (18). An adjusting mechanism (43) is provided for adjusting a distance (42) between the first support part (38) and the second support part (39) in the direction of the binding longitudinal axis (18), at least in the upper end region remote from the base plate (11). Irrespective of the above, an improved connection between the base plate (11) and a bow-shaped support element (24) for the support (25) is proposed.
Binding mechanism for sports devices, in particular for a snowboard, provided with a base plate for fixing to a sports device and for supporting a sports shoe, on which a support extending substantially perpendicular thereto is retained as a means of supporting the rearward cuff region or back region of a sports shoe, and this support is mounted so as to pivot to a limited degree, restricted by a stop, about a pivot axis extending substantially parallel with the standing plane of the base plate and substantially transversely to the binding longitudinal axis, characterised in that the support consists of at least a first and a second support part disposed at least substantially overlapping and arranged one after the other in the direction of the binding longitudinal axis and an adjusting mechanism for adjusting a distance between the first support part and the second support part in the direction of the binding longitudinal axis at least in the upper end region remote from the base plate.
Binding mechanism for sports devices, in particular for a snowboard, provided with a base plate for fixing to a sports device and for supporting a sports shoe, having respectively at least one retaining tab in the peripheral regions thereof on either side of its longitudinal axis for retaining a respective leg of a U-shaped or bow-shaped support element, and this bow-shaped support element is mounted with or forms at its base a support which is pivotable to a limited degree in the form of a back support, characterised in that friction-enhancing surfaces or matching teeth are provided between the legs and the respective co-operating retaining tabs and these teeth are designed to enable the support element to be positioned relative to the base plate in a stepped arrangement in the direction of the binding longitudinal axis.
