Safety fastenings for "surf" snowboards

Claim 2

Safety fastenings for snowboards having interdependent connecting means between twin devices on each fastening, which cause the automatic reciprocal opening and immediate release of either fastening should the other fastening release the corresponding ski boot each one of said devices comprising a flat boxed body which cooperates with a grip (4) for frontally fixing the ski boot and fastening means (5) which block the heel of the ski boot; said fastening means (5) being provided with a control lever (7) which activates a heel grip of the fastening means said lever (7) being mechanically connected to a movable section (25) which is part of the twin fastening devices, so that traction generated by said member (25) is transmitted to the lever (7) of the other fastening device.

Claim 3

Safety fastenings for snowboards having interdependent connecting means between twin devices of each fastening, which cause the automatic reciprocal opening and immediate release of either fastening should the other fastening release the corresponding ski boot characterized by the fact that each fastening device comprises: a box (14) containing a fixed pin (12a) coaxial to a cylindrical spring (13) surmounted by a push button (12) shaped like an upside-down cup; an angular pivot lever (21), an angular member (25) with an extremity hinged (26) to the bottom of the box (14) and an extremity opposite said first extremity fixed to a control lever (24) projecting out from one side of the box (14); a traction spring (27) fixed to the box (14) and to the angular member (25) reacting elastically to pivotal movement of said section, said angular member being lockable in an oscillating position, against the reaction of the spring (27), by stopping means (23) brought into position by a branch of the pivot lever (21); one end (28) of a wire rope being connected to the angular member (25) while the other end (28a) is connected to the control lever (7) of the twin fastening; further characterized by the fact that when the push button (12) is pressed down, it acts on said opposite extremity of the pivot lever (21) causing it to oscillate and release the control lever (24) from the stopping means (23); and said cup on the push button (12) blocking the angular member (25) in an active position when the push button is pressed down.

Claim 4

Safety fastenings for snowboards having interdependent connecting means between twin devices of each fastening, which cause the automatic reciprocal opening and immediate release of either fastening should the other fastening release the corresponding ski boot characterized by the fact that each fastening device comprises: a box (14) containing a fixed pin (12a) coaxial to a cylindrical spring (13) surmounted by a push button (12) shaped like an upside-down cup; an angular pivot lever (21), an angular member (25) with an extremity hinged (26) to the bottom of the box (14) and an extremity opposite said first extremity fixed to a control lever (24) projecting out from one side of the box (14); a traction spring (27) fixed to the box (14) and to the angular member (25) reacting elastically to pivotal movement of said section, said angular member being lockable in an oscillating position, against the reaction of the spring (27), by stopping means (23) brought into position by a branch of the pivot lever (21); one end (28) of a wire rope being connected to the angular member (25) while the other end (28a) is connected to the control lever (7) of the twin fastening; further characterized by the fact that when the push button (12) is pressed down, it acts on said opposite extremity of the pivot lever (21) causing it to oscillate and release the control lever (24) from the stopping means (23); and said cup on the push button (12) blocking the angular member (25) in an active position when the push button is pressed down.

Claim 5

Safety fastenings for snowboards having interdependent connecting means between twin devices on each fastening, which cause the automatic reciprocal opening and immediate release of either fastening should the other fastening release the corresponding ski boot each device characterized by an angular member (25) on each fastening which moves into an inactive position because it has been freed by a push button (12) engaging stopping means on the angular member by means of a wire rope (28) fixed to the angular member, said angular member releasing the other fastening by means of a control lever (7) on a heel grip.

Claim 6

Safety fastenings for snowboards having interdependent connecting means between twin devices on each fastening, which cause the automatic reciprocal opening and immediate release of either fastening should the other fastening release the corresponding ski boot each device characterized by an angular member (25) on each fastening which moves into an inactive position because it has been freed by a push button (12) engaging stopping means on the angular member by means of a wire rope (28) fixed to the angular member, said angular member releasing the other fastening by means of a control lever (7) on a heel grip.
