Abstract
A binding for a snowboard includes a baseplate and at least one strap formed of strap parts that are each articulated relative to a side of the baseplate and that interact with one another in order to ensure the gripping of the strap over a boot. The strap parts are formed by curved rigid parts, the ends of which come opposite one another, and one of the strap parts is equipped with an articulated lever allowing the displacement of a hooked zone capable of interacting with a notched zone made on the upper face of the opposite strap part.
Claims7
A binding for a snowboard including a baseplate and at least one strap formed of strap parts that are each articulated relative to a side of the baseplate, and interacting with one another in order to ensure gripping of the strap over a boot, wherein the strap parts are formed by curved rigid parts, the ends of which come opposite one another, and wherein one of the strap parts is equipped with an articulated lever allowing the displacement of a hooked zone capable of interacting with a notched zone produced on the upper face of the opposite strap part.
The binding as claimed in one of the preceding claims, wherein the curved rigid parts of the strap parts each comprise a hinge that makes it possible to pivot the strap part in order to open and close the binding.
The binding as claimed in one of the preceding claims, wherein each strap part has two stable equilibrium positions, namely an open position in which the strap part is free of the front of the boot and a closed position in which the strap is folded down over the front of the binding in order to interact with fastening means, the articulation of the strap part relative to the binding being arranged such that, between these two positions, and without the user's intervention, the strap part is displaced automatically toward one of the two stable positions.
A snowboard, comprising a binding as claimed in one of the preceding claims.
