Abstract
A support plate for a binding for a gliding board that includes the following: a chassis to be fixed on an upper surface of the gliding board; a damping plate intended to be at least partially interposed between a lower surface of the chassis and the upper surface of the gliding board. The support plate includes a wedge that is less compressible than the damping plate, movable between a hardness configuration, suitable for transmitting a vertical force from the chassis to the upper surface of a gliding board, and inhibiting, at least partially, the compression of the damping plate and between a flexibility configuration, suitable for the force to be retransmitted from the chassis to the upper surface of a gliding board, mainly via the damping plate.
Claims18
Support plate for binding a shoe to a gliding apparatus, the support plate comprising:
- a chassis configured to be fixed onto an upper surface of a gliding board, the chassis carrying a support surface configured to be in contact with a lower portion of a sole of the shoe;
- a damping plate configured to be at least partially interposed between a first portion of a lower surface of the chassis and the upper surface of the gliding board;
- and
- a wedge made of a material less compressible than a material forming the damping plate, the wedge being configured to move between at least:
- a hardness configuration for which a transmission portion of the wedge is positioned opposite a second portion of the lower surface of the chassis;
- and
- a flexibility configuration for which the transmission portion of the wedge is positioned opposite a third portion of the lower surface of the chassis, the third portion being set back in relation to the second portion.
