[Technical Field]
[0001] The present invention relates to a binding for a gliding board. [Background technology]
[0002] BACKGROUND ART Snowboard bindings, such as those disclosed in Patent Document 1, have been proposed for securing boots to snowboards.
[0003] As shown in Figure 10, this snowboard binding comprises a foot fixing body 61 for fixing the foot, and an attachment device 62 for attaching this foot fixing body 61 to the snowboard 50. This attachment device 62 is a circular plate-shaped body having fastening holes 62a that match screw holes 50a provided on the top surface of the snowboard 50 and configured to fit non-rotatably into hole portions 61a formed in the foot fixing body 61. With this attachment device 62 fitted into the hole portions 61a of the foot fixing body 61, it is fastened to the top surface of the snowboard 50 with four screws 63, thereby sandwiching and fixing the foot fixing body 61 between the attachment device 62 and the snowboard 50.
[0004] Incidentally, since the attachment angle (angle) of the foot support body 61 to the snowboard 50 varies depending on the snowboarder's physique, skill level, and style of snowboarding, the attachment device 62 is configured so that it is always attached to the snowboard 50 in a predetermined orientation via screws 63 and is provided with an angle scale 64, while an angle indicator 65 that indicates this angle scale 64 is provided around the periphery of the hole 61a of the foot support body 61.When attaching the foot support body 61 to the snowboard 50, by setting this angle indicator 65 to indicate any angle on the angle scale 64, the foot support body 61 can be attached to the snowboard 50 at any angle.
[0005] However, when adjusting the mounting angle of the foot fixing body 61 relative to the snowboard 50 after the foot fixing body 61 has been attached, all the screws 63 must be removed from the snowboard 50 to separate the attachment device 62 from the foot fixing body 61, the angle between the foot fixing body 61 and the attachment device 62 (the angle indicated by the angle scale 64 on the angle indicating portion 65) must be changed, and then the attachment device 62 must be fastened to the snowboard 50 with all the screws 63. However, in situations where the mounting angle of the foot fixing body 61 relative to the snowboard 50 needs to be frequently adjusted to accommodate many different people, such as a snowboard 50 rental shop, it is extremely troublesome to adjust this mounting angle quickly. As described above, adjustment of the mounting angle of the foot fixing body 61 relative to the snowboard 50 is not limited to indoors, and may also be made outdoors (on a skating field), and the above structure makes this extremely troublesome.
[0006] Therefore, in the past, snowboarding Do Foot fixation Body To make it possible to adjust the mounting angle easily and quickly, As shown in Figure 11 Patent Document 2 Fig5 A binding for a sliding board disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open Publication No. 2003-2004414 (hereinafter referred to as "the conventional example") has been proposed. 12 is a diagram created for the sake of convenience in explaining FIG. 11, and the following will explain the conventional example based on FIG.
[0007] This conventional example is shown in Fig. 12 As shown in the figure, the snowboard 50 is provided with a foot fixing body 71 for fixing the feet, and an attachment device for attaching the foot fixing body 71 to the snowboard 50, the attachment device comprising a disk body 72 that is fastened to the top surface of the snowboard 50 and into which a hole 71a formed in the foot fixing body 71 is fitted so as not to rotate, and a press-down fixing body 73 that is screwed together by rotating it through the hole 71a of the foot fixing body 71 to hold down and fix the foot fixing body 71, the foot fixing body 71 is provided with an angle mark 75, and the disk body 72 is provided with an angle scale 74, and the angle scale 74 is configured so that when the hole 71a of the foot fixing body 71 is fitted into the disk body 72 using the angle mark 75 as an index, the angle of the angle scale 74 using the angle mark 75 as an index becomes the attachment angle of the foot fixing body 71 to the snowboard 50.
[0008] To explain in more detail, the outer peripheral surface of the disk body 72 is provided with an uneven portion 72a, and the inner peripheral surface of the hole portion 71a of the foot fixing body 71 is provided with an uneven portion 71a' that engages with the uneven portion 72a, and the hole portion 71a of the foot fixing body 71 is configured to fit over the disk body 72 so that it cannot rotate.
[0009] The holding fixture 73 is composed of a base member 73a that is configured to be screwed and connected to the disk body 72, and a ring member 73b that is mounted on the underside of the base member 73a and has the same center of rotation as the base member 73a so that it can rotate freely relative to the base member 73a. This ring member 73b is provided with an uneven portion 73b' that engages with an uneven portion 71a" that is provided around the hole 71a of the foot fixture 71. When the handle 73a' provided on the holding fixture 73 is gripped and the holding fixture 73 is rotated to screw and connect it to the disk body 72, the uneven portion 73b' of the ring member 73b engages with the uneven portion 71a" of the foot fixture 71, preventing the ring member 73b from rotating, and the base member 73a is configured to rotate until the screwing is complete.
[0010] Therefore, in the conventional example, the hole 71a of the foot fixing body 71 is fitted into a disk body 72 attached to the top surface of the snowboard 50, and in this state the handle 73a is rotated on the disk body 72 to screw and connect the holding down fixing body 73, thereby attaching the foot fixing body 71 to the snowboard 50.When fitting the hole 71a of the foot fixing body 71 into this disk body 72, the angle mark 75 on the foot fixing body 71 is used as an index for the angle scale 74 provided on the disk body 72, and the hole 71a of the foot fixing body 71 is fitted into the disk body 72, so that the foot fixing body 71 can be attached to the snowboard 50 at any angle.
[0011] In addition, in the conventional example, when adjusting the mounting angle of the foot support member 71 relative to the snowboard 50 after the holding member 73 is attached, the handle 73a is rotated to remove the holding member 73 from the disk member 72, and the angle ( Angle markThe angle indicated by the angle scale 74 at 75 is changed, and the handle 73a is rotated to the disk body 72 to screw the holding fixture 73 together, completing the process.
[0012] As described above, in the conventional example, the holding fixture 73 can be easily attached and detached to and from the disk body 72 by rotating the handle 73a, so the mounting angle of the foot fixture 71 to the snowboard 50 can be easily and quickly adjusted.

[0013] [Patent Document 1] Special Publication No. 2006-524526 [Patent Document 2] French Patent Application Publication No. 2999946 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]
[0014] However, in the conventional example, the angle scale 74 is provided on the top surface of the disk body 72, and when the retaining fixture 73 is screwed and connected to this disk body 72, the angle scale 74 is hidden. Therefore, after attaching the foot fixture 71 to the snowboard 50 at a predetermined angle, in order to check this attachment angle, the retaining fixture 73 must be removed each time, which creates the problem that the current attachment angle cannot be confirmed at a glance.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
[0029] A preferred embodiment of the present invention will be briefly described below, illustrating the operation of the present invention with reference to the drawings.
[0030] In the present invention, for example, when the hole 2 of the foot fixing body 1 is fitted into the disk body 11 fixed to the top surface of the gliding board 50, the foot fixing body 1 becomes unable to rotate relative to the disk body 11, and in this state the foot fixing body 1 is attached to the gliding board 50 by connecting the holding down fixing body 12 to the disk body 11.
[0031] When fitting the hole 2 of the foot fixing body 1 into this disk body 11, the angle mark 3 on the disk body 11 is used as an index for the angle display part 4 of the foot fixing body 1, and the arbitrary angle on the angle display part 4 indicated by this angle mark 3 becomes the mounting angle of the foot fixing body 1 relative to the gliding board 50. Furthermore, when connecting the holding down fixing body 12 to the disk body 11, the arbitrary angle on the angle display part 4 indicated by the angle mark 3 when fitting the hole 2 of the foot fixing body 1 into the disk body 11 is indicated by the angle indicating part 5 provided on the holding down fixing body 12.
[0032] Furthermore, when adjusting the mounting angle of the foot fixing body 1 relative to the sliding board 50, the holding down fixing body 12 is removed from the disk body 11 to separate the foot fixing body 1, and then the hole portion 2 of the foot fixing body 1 is fitted over the disk body 11 in the manner described above, taking into consideration that the mounting angle of the foot fixing body 1 relative to the sliding board 50 is set to any angle, and the holding down fixing body 12 is then connected to the disk body 11.
[0033] In the present invention, the mounting angle of the foot support member 1 relative to the gliding board 50 can be seen from the outside, and there is no need to check it by removing the retainer support member 12 as in the conventional example described above. [Example]
[0034] Example 1 A specific embodiment 1 of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
[0035] This embodiment is a binding for a sliding board that includes a foot support member 1 for securing the foot and a mounting fixture 10 for attaching the foot support member 1 to a sliding board 50.
[0036] In this embodiment, the sliding board 50 is applied to a snowboard that snowboarders (riders) wear by attaching snowboard boots to the foot support 1 to slide across the snow, but it can also be applied to snow skiing, wakeboarding in which the feet are fixed to the boot-shaped foot support 1, and water skiing, and any other suitable configuration that exhibits the characteristics of this embodiment can be adopted as appropriate.
[0037] Each component of this embodiment will be described in detail below.
[0038] The foot support 1 is formed from suitable synthetic resin components as shown in FIG. 1, and is a mounting structure that includes the basic structure for mounting snowboard boots, such as a base plate 1A, a heel cup 1B, a toe strap 1C, an ankle strap 1D, and a highback 1E.
[0039] The base plate 1A of this foot support member 1 is provided with a hole 2 that is circular in plan view.
[0040] As shown in FIG. 1, this hole 2 is formed through the center of the base plate 1A and has a diameter set to fit over a disk body 11, which will be described later.
[0041] In addition, the inner surface of this hole portion 2 is provided with a first uneven portion 6a having a jagged shape in which a sharp-pointed convex portion and a V-shaped concave portion are connected, and when this first uneven portion 6a is fitted into the disk body 11, it engages with a second uneven portion 6b provided on the outer edge of the disk body 11, and is configured as a foot fixing body rotation prevention portion 6 that prevents the foot fixing body 1 from rotating relative to the disk body 11.
[0042] Adjacent convex portions in the first concave-convex portion 6a are spaced apart at an angular interval of 6 degrees.
[0043] Therefore, when the hole 2 of this foot fixing body 1 is fitted over the disk body 11, the foot fixing body 1 becomes unable to rotate due to the foot fixing body rotation prevention part 6, and furthermore, by rotating the foot fixing body 1 appropriately while separated from the disk body 11, the attachment angle of the foot fixing body 1 relative to the gliding board 50 can be set to any angle in 6 degree increments. Note that this attachment angle may be changed so that it can be set to other angles, such as in 3 degree increments.
[0044] In addition, around the hole portion 2 of the foot fixing body 1 (base plate 1A), there is provided a step portion 1a (recessed step portion) that is annular in plan view and is connected to this hole portion 2, into which the fixing member 14 of the holding fixing body 12 described later falls and fits.
[0045] That is, this step portion 1a consists of a horizontal bottom surface 1a'' that is continuous with the inner surface of the hole portion 2, and an inner surface 1a' that rises from this bottom surface 1a'' to the upper surface of the base plate 1A, and the inner surface 1a' of this step portion 1a is configured to have a downward slope toward the hole portion 2.
[0046] Therefore, since the recessed portion into which the fixed push-in body 12 is fitted has a tapered shape that becomes larger in diameter as it goes upward, the operation of fitting the fixed push-in body 12 can be performed smoothly.
[0047] In addition, the inner surface 1a' of this step portion 1a is provided with a third uneven portion 7a having a jagged shape in which a sharp-pointed convex portion and a V-shaped concave portion are connected, and this third uneven portion 7a is configured as a rotation prevention portion 7 that engages with a fourth uneven portion 7b provided on the outer peripheral end of the push-in fixation body 12 (fixation member 14) when the push-in fixation body 12 is fitted into the step portion 1a, preventing the fixation member 14 from rotating.
[0048] Therefore, when the push-in fixed body 12 is fitted into the disk body 11, the fixing member 14 of the push-in fixed body 12 is prevented from rotating by the rotation preventing portion 7.
[0049] In this embodiment, adjacent convex portions in the third concave-convex portion 7a are spaced apart by an angle of 3 degrees, and further, the third concave-convex portion 7a is separated from the first concave-convex portion 6a of the hole portion 2 by the bottom surface 1a″ of the step portion 1a.
[0050] The foot support member 1 is also provided with an angle display unit 4.
[0051] This angle display unit 4 is configured so that when the hole portion 2 of the foot support body 1 is fitted into the disk body 11 described later using the angle mark 3 as an index, the angle of the angle display unit 4 using the angle mark 3 as an index becomes the mounting angle of the foot support body 1 relative to the gliding board 50.
[0052] Specifically, as shown in Figure 1, the angle display section 4 is provided in a position that is not hidden by the holding fixture 12, which will be described later, around the periphery of the hole 2, and is configured to display scale lines 4a and numbers 4b. The angle display section 4 may display only the scale lines 4a or only the numbers 4b.
[0053] In this embodiment, an auxiliary angle display unit 8 is provided inside the angle display unit 4 on the bottom surface 1a'' of the step portion 1a.
[0054] This auxiliary angle display unit 8 is configured so that when the hole 2 of the foot support unit 1 is fitted using the angle mark 3 provided on the disk body 11 as an index, the angle of the auxiliary angle display unit 8 using the angle mark 3 as an index becomes the mounting angle of the foot support unit 1 relative to the gliding board 50.
[0055] Specifically, as shown in FIG. 5, this auxiliary angle display section 8 is configured such that numbers 8a indicating the angle are provided on the bottom surface 1a″ of the step section 1a located near the periphery of the hole 2, and the same angle as that indicated by the angle mark 3 on the angle display section 4 is indicated. The auxiliary angle display section 8 may be displayed using only scale lines, or may be displayed using both numbers 8 and scale lines.
[0056] Therefore, although only the angle display unit 4 described above is sufficient, this auxiliary angle display unit 8aSince the auxiliary angle display unit 8 is located closer to the angle mark 3 than the angle display unit 4, the angle can be adjusted more accurately using this auxiliary angle display unit 8.
[0057] The mounting fixture 10 is composed of a disk body 11 that is attached to the top surface of the sliding board 50 and fits into a hole 2 formed in the foot fixing body 1, and a holding down fixing body 12 that is connected to the disk body 11 via the hole 2 of the foot fixing body 1 and holds down and fixes the foot fixing body 1.
[0058] As shown in Figure 1, the disk body 11 is a circular plate-shaped body formed from an appropriate synthetic resin material (nylon glass fiber), and its outer peripheral end is provided with a second uneven portion 6b having a jagged shape consisting of a series of sharp-pointed convex portions and V-shaped concave portions.When the foot fixing body 1 is fitted onto the disk body 11, this second uneven portion 6b engages with the first uneven portion 6a provided on the foot fixing body 1 (the inner surface of the hole portion 2), and is configured as a foot fixing body rotation prevention portion 6 that prevents the foot fixing body 1 from rotating relative to the disk body 11.
[0059] In addition, the second uneven portion 6b is provided with adjacent projections spaced at an angle of 6 degrees from each other so that it can engage with the first uneven portion 6a at any angle.
[0060] In addition, the disk body 11 has a female screw portion 11a (cylindrical screw hole portion) in the center, and this female screw portion 11a is configured to be screwed and connected to a male screw portion 15a (bolt portion) of the holding fixing body 12 described later.
[0061] This female screw portion 11a is configured with a metal cylindrical member 11a' with a screw hole, and the upper end of this cylindrical member 11a' is configured so that when another gliding board 50 is placed on top of the gliding board 50 with the disk body 11 attached, it will not be scratched even if it comes into contact with the gliding surface of the other gliding board 50 (the upper end has a chamfered or rounded edge without any corners) (see Figure 6). It is also possible to configure it so that it does not come into contact with the gliding surface of the other gliding board 50 (the upper end of the female screw portion 11a is flush with or recessed into the top surface of the disk body 11).
[0062] Therefore, when storing or transporting the sliding boards 50 with the disk bodies 11 attached to the sliding boards 50, even if the sliding boards 50 are stacked on top of each other, the sliding surfaces of the other sliding boards 50 are prevented from being damaged.
[0063] In addition, around this female screw portion 11a, there are provided a plurality of fastening holes 11b that are used when fastening with screws 9 to screw holes 50a (insert holes) provided on the top surface of the sliding board 50, and each fastening hole 11b is configured by arranging a metal female screw member.
[0064] In this embodiment, the number, position and shape of the fastening holes 11b are set to correspond to a plurality of fastening methods that differ depending on the sliding board 50. Specifically, four elongated fastening holes 11b and three circular fastening holes 11b are provided, and the structure is adapted to correspond to a fastening type using four elongated fastening holes 11b and four screws 9, a fastening type using two circular fastening holes 11b and two screws 9, and a fastening type using two elongated fastening holes 11b, one circular fastening hole 11b and three screws 9. When fastening using the four elongated fastening holes 11b, the attachment position of the disk body 11 in the direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the sliding board 50 can be appropriately changed to adjust the position of the foot support body 1( Snowboarding The center position of the skater's feet can be adjusted.
[0065] In addition, a locking protrusion 11b' is formed on the inner surface of each fastening hole 11b, and an engaging protrusion rib 9a is provided on the underside of the head of the screw 9 that abuts against the inner surface of this fastening hole 11b, which engages with the locking protrusion rib 11b' when the screw 9 is fastened into the fastening hole 11b.
[0066] Therefore, when the screws 9 are screwed into the fastening holes 11b, the engaging protruding ribs 9a engage with the locking protruding ribs 11b', enabling a firm fastening that is difficult to loosen.
[0067] The disk body 11 is also provided with angle marks 3.
[0068] 1, the angle mark 3 is configured by providing four linear portions with sharpened portions at 90-degree intervals on the periphery of the top surface of the disk body 11. The shape of the angle mark 3 may also be a triangular portion or an arrow-shaped portion.
[0069] Furthermore, when the disk body 11 is attached to the gliding board 50, the angle marks 3 provided at the front and rear opposing positions are arranged so as to face in the same direction as the longitudinal direction of the gliding board 50, and the angle marks 3 provided at the left and right opposing positions are arranged so as to face in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the gliding board 50, and when the hole portion 2 of the foot support body 1 is fitted onto the disk body 11, these angle marks 3 are configured to serve as indicators for the angle display unit 4 and auxiliary angle display unit 8 described above.
[0070] The holding fixture 12 is composed of a base member 13 which is configured to be connected to the disk body 11 by rotating it as shown in Figure 1, and a fixing member 14 which is mounted on the base member 13 and has the same center of rotation as the base member 13 so as to be rotatable relative to the base member 13.
[0071] Specifically, the base member 13 is a circular plate-shaped body formed from an appropriate metal member as shown in Figure 2, and has a screw member 15 (bolt member) in the center that passes through from top to bottom and is unable to rotate.This screw member 15 is arranged to protrude from the underside of the fixing member 14 described later, and is configured as a male screw portion 15a that screws into the female screw portion 11a of the disk body 11 described above.
[0072] Therefore, the push-in fixing body 12 can be screwed together by rotating it relative to the disk body 11.
[0073] As mentioned above, the push-in fixing body 12 is not limited to a structure in which it is connected to the disk body 11 by rotating it (screw-fit connection structure), but may also be a so-called one-touch structure in which a locking claw is moved by a pushing operation, allowing it to be connected freely and detachably.
[0074] An arch-shaped handle 16 is provided on the top surface of the base member 13 so as to be able to rise and fall freely.
[0075] Therefore, the handle 16 can be gripped and rotated when the push-in fixing body 12 is attached to or detached from the disk body 11. Fitting It is also possible to use a tool (a manual screwdriver or an electric screwdriver) by utilizing the grooves to rotate the push-in fixing body 12. Reference numeral 16a denotes a pivot shaft to which the handle 16 is pivotally attached.
[0076] The fixing member 14 is a circular plate-shaped body made of an appropriate synthetic resin material (nylon glass fiber) as shown in Figure 2, and the outer surface of this fixing member 14 is formed into an inclined surface that matches the downward inclination of the inner surface 1a' of the step portion 1a of the foot fixing body 1.
[0077] The fixing member 14 is provided at its center with a hole 14b through which the screw member 15 provided on the base member 13 described above passes rotatably.
[0078] Therefore, the thread groove formed portion of the screw member 15 protrudes from the center of the lower surface of the fixed push-in body 12, and this thread groove formed portion becomes a male screw portion 15a that screws into the female screw portion 11a of the disk body 11.
[0079] In addition, the fixing member 14 has a recessed portion 14' on its upper surface into which the base member 13 is fitted and arranged so as to be rotatable relative to the screw member 15 as an axis, and when the base member 13 is fitted and arranged, it has a ring-shaped surrounding portion 14a that surrounds the outer periphery of the base member 13 and is exposed when viewed from a planar direction, and an angle indication portion 5 is provided on the upper surface of this surrounding portion 14a.
[0080] 1, this angle indicator 5 is configured by providing triangular sections at four locations at 90-degree intervals on the top surface of the surrounding section 14a, and is configured to indicate the angle display section 4 of the foot support member 1. The shape of the angle indicator 5 may also be a linear section with a sharp tip, an arrow-shaped section, or the like.
[0081] In addition, the fixing member 14 has a fourth uneven portion 7b with a jagged shape at the peripheral edge of the lower surface (below the surrounding portion 14a), which is a series of sharp-pointed convex portions and V-shaped concave portions, and this fourth uneven portion 7b is configured as a rotation prevention portion 7 that, when the push-in fixing body 12 is fitted into the step portion 1a of the foot fixing body 1, engages with the third uneven portion 7a provided on this step portion 1a, making the fixing member 14 unable to rotate.
[0082] Moreover, the fourth concave-convex portion 7b is provided with adjacent convex portions spaced at an angle of 3 degrees from each other so that the fourth concave-convex portion 7b can engage with the third concave-convex portion 7a at any angle.
[0083] Therefore, when the push-in fixed body 12 is fitted into the disk body 11 and rotated, the rotation of the fixed member 14 is prevented by the rotation prevention portion 7, and only the base member 13 rotates until the screwing is complete, maintaining the state in which it indicates the angle display portion 4 in the angle indication portion 5. Incidentally, the fixed member 14 also functions as a so-called washer when sandwiched between the base member 13 and the foot fixed body 1.
[0084] Reference numeral 17 denotes a C-shaped ring for fastening the screw member 15 to prevent it from coming off.
[0085] Since this embodiment is configured as described above, when the disk body 11 is fixed to the upper surface of the gliding board 50 and the hole portion 2 of the foot fixing body 1 is fitted into the disk body 11 fixed to the upper surface of the gliding board 50, the foot fixing body 1 becomes unable to rotate relative to the disk body 11, and in this state the foot fixing body 1 is attached to the gliding board 50 by screwing and connecting the fixing body 12 to the disk body 11.
[0086] When fitting the hole 2 of the foot fixing body 1 into this disk body 11, the angle mark 3 on the disk body 11 is used as an index for the angle display unit 4 and auxiliary angle display unit 8 of the foot fixing body 1, and the arbitrary angle (the same angle) indicated by this angle mark 3 on the angle display unit 4 and auxiliary angle display unit 8 becomes the mounting angle of the foot fixing body 1 with respect to the gliding board 50. Next, when screwing and connecting the holding fixing body 12 to the disk body 11, the arbitrary angle indicated by the angle display unit 4 and auxiliary angle display unit 8 using the angle mark 3 as an index when fitting the hole 2 of the foot fixing body 1 into the disk body 11 is indicated by the angle indicating unit 5 provided on the holding fixing body 12 (fixing member 14). Screwing into the disk body 11 is performed by rotating only the base member 13, and since rotation of the fixing member 14 is prevented, the indication on the angle indicating unit 5 is maintained.
[0087] Furthermore, when adjusting the mounting angle of the foot fixing body 1 relative to the sliding board 50, the holding down fixing body 12 is removed from the disk body 11 to separate the foot fixing body 1, and then the hole portion 2 of the foot fixing body 1 is fitted over the disk body 11 in the manner described above, taking into consideration that the mounting angle of the foot fixing body 1 relative to the sliding board 50 is set to any angle, and the holding down fixing body 12 is then screwed and connected to the disk body 11.
[0088] In this embodiment, the mounting angle of the foot support member 1 relative to the gliding board 50 can be seen from the outside, and there is no need to check it by removing the retainer support member 12 as in the conventional example described above.
[0089] Therefore, according to this embodiment, the mounting angle of the foot support member 1 relative to the sliding board 50 can be quickly adjusted, and the mounting angle of the foot support member 1 relative to the sliding board 50 can be confirmed at a glance from the outside.
[0090] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the angle display unit 4 is provided in a position on the periphery of the hole 2 where it is not hidden by the holding fixture 12, so that the above-mentioned effects can be reliably achieved.
[0091] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the holding fixture 12 comprises a base member 13 configured to be connected to the disk body 11 by rotating it, and a fixing member 14 mounted on this base member 13 so as to be rotatable relative to the base member 13 and having the same center of rotation as the base member 13, and the angle indicating portion 5 is provided on the fixing member 14, so that the aforementioned operational effects can be reliably achieved in this respect as well.
[0092] Furthermore, in this embodiment, when the holding-down fixed body 12 is connected to the disk body 11 by rotating it, a rotation prevention section 7 that prevents the rotation of the fixed member 14 is provided between the fixed member 14 and the foot fixed body 1, so that even if the holding-down fixed body 12 is rotated, the angle display section 4 in the angle indication section 5 can be reliably maintained in its indicated state.
[0093] In addition, in this embodiment, a ring-shaped step 1a is provided around the hole 2, into which the fixing member 14 is fitted, and the inner surface 1a' of this step 1a is configured to slope downward toward the hole 2, so that the fitting and arrangement of the holding down fixing body 12 to the foot fixing body 1 can be performed smoothly.
[0094] <Example 2> A specific second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
[0095] This embodiment is a binding for a sliding board that includes a foot support member 1 for securing the foot and a mounting fixture 10 for mounting the foot support member 1 to a sliding board 50. The mounting fixture 10 is made up of a disk body 11 that is fixed to the top surface of the sliding board 50 and into which a hole 2 formed in the foot support member 1 is fitted so as not to rotate, and a holding down fixing member 12 that is connected to the disk body 11 through the hole 2 of the foot support member 1 and holds down and fixes the foot support member 1. An angle mark 34 is provided around the hole 2 of the foot support member 1, and the disk body 11 is fixed to the top surface of the sliding board 50. The disk body 11 is provided with a first angle display unit 33, which is configured so that when the hole 2 of the foot support body 1 is fitted using the angle mark 34 of the disk body 11 as an index, the angle of the first angle display unit 33 using the angle mark 34 as an index becomes the mounting angle of the foot support body 1 relative to the gliding board 50, and furthermore, the hold-down support body 12 is provided with a second angle display unit 35 configured to display the same angle as the first angle display unit 33 indicated by the angle mark 34.
[0096] That is, an angle mark 34 is provided on the foot fixing body 1, a first angle display part 33 is provided on the disk body 11, and a second angle display part 34 is provided on the holding fixing body 12. 35 The angle mark and the angle display section are provided in the opposite relationship to those in the first embodiment.
[0097] As shown in FIG. 9, this angle mark 34 is configured by providing a triangular portion at a position on the periphery of the hole 2 that is not hidden by the holding fixture 12.
[0098] In this embodiment, an auxiliary angle mark 36 is provided inside the angle mark 34 on the bottom surface 1a'' of the step portion 1a.
[0099] The auxiliary angle mark 36 is configured so that when the hole portion 2 of the foot support body 1 is fitted into the disk body 11 using the auxiliary angle mark 36 as an index, the angle of the first angle display portion 33 using the auxiliary angle mark 36 as an index becomes the mounting angle of the foot support body 1 relative to the sliding board 50.
[0100] Specifically, as shown in FIG. 9, this auxiliary angle mark 36 is configured by providing a triangular portion serving as a mark on the bottom surface 1a″ of the step portion 1a that is located near the periphery of the hole 2, and by setting the first angle indicator 33 to any angle, the auxiliary angle mark 36 indicates the same angle as the angle mark 34.
[0101] Therefore, although only the angle mark 34 described above is sufficient, this auxiliary angle mark 36 is located closer to the first angle display unit 33 than the angle mark 34, and therefore the angle can be adjusted more accurately using this auxiliary angle mark 36.
[0102] 9, the first angle display section 33 is configured by displaying numbers 33a on the periphery of the top surface of the disk body 11. The first angle display section 33 may be displayed using only scale lines, or may be displayed using both the numbers 33a and scale lines.
[0103] 9, the second angle display section 35 is configured by displaying scale lines 35a and numbers 35b on the upper surface of the surrounding portion 14a of the fixing member 14 associated with the holding fixture 12. Note that the second angle display section 35 may be displayed only with the scale lines 35a or only with the numbers 35b.
[0104] The rest is the same as in Example 1.
[0105] The present invention is not limited to the first and second embodiments, and the specific configuration of each component can be designed as appropriate. [Explanation of symbols]
