A device for retaining a foot or a boot on a sports apparatus, such as a binding for a snowboard. The device includes a base plate associated with a rear support element/highback. The rear support element is movably mounted with respect to the base plate. A linkage is connected to the base plate and to the rear support element in order to limit the rearward movement thereof. The position of the rear support element with respect to the base plate is longitudinally adjustable.

A device for retaining a foot or a boot on a sports apparatus. The base of the device, having the general shape of a plate, includes a zone for anchoring to the apparatus, as well as at least one zone for fastening a foot or boot retaining mechanism, the fastening zone being apart from the anchoring zone. Stiffening ribs extend between the anchoring zone and the fastening zone. Two adjacent stiffening ribs converge toward the fastening zone, between the anchoring zone and the fastening zone.

Device for retaining a foot or a boot on a sports apparatus

A device for receiving and retaining a foot or a boot on a sports apparatus is disclosed. The device has a seat associated with a rear support element, the rear support element having a support surface facing a free surface, the rear support element being rotatably mounted with respect to the seat, an abutment limiting a rearward rotation of the rear support element, the abutment having a cursor that is movable along the rear support element, as well as a mechanism for immobilizing the cursor on the rear support element. A wall covers the cursor on the side of the free surface, the immobilizing mechanism extending through the wall.

A device for receiving a foot or a boot onto a sports apparatus, the device including a support adapted to be located between the sole of the foot or the boot sole and the apparatus. The support includes a retractable abutment and a shock-absorbing arrangement, the abutment opposing the compression of the support up to a set value of the support compression force, the abutment retracting when the support compression force exceeds the set value, the shock-absorbing arrangement being biased beyond this set value.

Device for receiving a foot or a boot on a sports apparatus

A device for retaining a foot or boot on an apparatus, such as a binding for a snowboard. The device has a lateral portion and a medial portion demarcating a receiving zone, a rear support element, and a linkage. The linkage includes a front part and a rear part. The front part is located nearer a support surface of the rear support element and the rear part is located nearer a free surface of the rear support element.

Shock-absorbing support pad to be positioned between a boot and a snowboard, or between the boot and a snowboard binding, and a snowboard binding incorporating such support pad. The support pad has at least two layers of material having different hardnesses. A first layer has a support surface for contacting the boot and it has a bonding surface opposite to the support surface. A second layer is joined to the bonding surface of the first layer. The hardness of the second layer is less than the hardness of the first layer.

Shock-absorbing support pad for a snowboard binding equipped with such support pad

A device for retaining a boot on a gliding board having a base with an upper surface and a lower surface, at least one cavity being provided in the thickness of the base between the upper surface and the lower surface to house a pad. The pad projects at least partially with respect to the upper surface when it is housed in the cavity. The device has an arrangement allowing a removable fastening of the pad in the cavity.

Device for retaining a boot on a gliding board

A retention device for a boot on a glide board adapted for the practice of snowboarding. The device includes a base, a plate, a disk and at least one retention screw for the disk provided to be screwed into the board. The base has a rear support element, a retention mechanism affixed to tie plate retains the boot, and the device extends along a longitudinal direction which is the longitudinal direction of the boot when the latter is retained on the device. The device includes at least one translational guide mechanism for the plate with respect to the base along the longitudinal direction of the device.

Retention device for a boot on a glide board adapted for snowboarding

A device for adjusting the position of a binding on a glide board. The device includes a base plate equipped with an orifice and an edge of the orifice includes a first peripheral surface portion; a disc having a contour that exceeds that of the orifice and including an edge that has a second surface portion adapted to come into contact with the first surface portion when the disc gets nested in the orifice; an anchoring device of the disc on the board that can be actuated by tightening so as maintain contact between the surface portions, wherein at least one of the surface portions is substantially smooth and constitutes a sliding ramp for the other surface portion, and wherein the device includes a rotational stop of the base plate in an engagement position when the anchoring device is are actuated by tightening, and able to become disengaged when the anchoring device is are only partially loosened, thus allowing a rotational movement of the base plate with respect to disc. The invention facilitates the adjustment of the angular position of a binding on the glide board.

Device for adjusting the position of a binding on a glide board,

A retention device for a boot on a glide board intended for snowboarding. The device includes at least one anchoring device and at least one retention member that receives the anchoring device in a housing of the retention member, a latching member cooperating with the retention member in order to maintain the anchoring device in the housing, a support member cooperating with the retention member in order to position the latching member with respect to the housing. The device is wherein a surface of the latching member cooperates, by contact, with a surface of the support member, the surfaces being oriented so as to, on the one hand, be displaced with respect to one another when the latching member is displaced in a latching direction, and on the other hand, retain a fixed position with respect to one another when the latching member is biased in an unlatching direction.

Device for retaining a boot on a glide board intended for snowboarding

A device for retaining a boot on a gliding board, the device including a base for receiving the boot, at least one tightening arrangement to bias the base toward the board. The device according to the invention includes at least one mechanism for positioning the base with respect to the board both translationally in any direction substantially parallel to the board, and rotationally along any angle with respect to an axis substantially perpendicular to the board.

Apparatus for modifying the natural pressure distribution of a ski over

The invention is related to a ski brake including two braking arms and a spring for returning the braking arms into an active braking position. The activation mechanism of the braking arms include two levers which extend between the front and rear binding elements, and are mutually journalled in the manner of a toggle joint.

A device for modifying, dynamically, the pressure distribution of a ski, such as an alpine ski, along its sliding surface. The ski is equipped with front and rear binding elements and support elements for the front and rear ends of the sole of the boot. The device includes a sensor element in contact with the sole of the boot, and additionally, movable along a vertical direction, a flexion device to generate a flexional moment on at least one front or rear end of the ski, and a connection device between the sensor element and the flexion device to transmit, to the flexion device, at least one part of the vertical thrust of the boot sensed by the sensor element.
