Fixing goofy 6 is safe for snowboarding integrated

摘要

Device enabling the snowboarder's feet to be released in the event of a dangerous rotating, or forwards and rearwards fall from the snowboard, the feet leaving the snowboard simultaneously in the event of a rotating fall. The system consists in integrating pieces which are articulated 3 on the sides of a plate 1, on which the foot is held by stirrup pieces, this assembly being fitted into stops 6 screwed to the snowboard or mounted on rails 26 forming half-circles so as to be able to pass from goofy to regular and to adjust the orientation of the feet every 5 DEG by moving the stops 6 on the rails 26, and a system of springs 20 and 15 which can be adjusted in terms of stiffness, pushing on pistons 19 and 14 against the articulated pieces 3 and 5, makes it possible to adjust the ease of movement of the latter. Moreover, the assembly is supplemented by two cables 7 connecting the feet together via the ends of the plates 1, making it impossible for the feet to be released unexpectedly, to reduce the force of the springs and to simultaneously free both feet in rotation, the cables unhooking at one of their ends via a system of hooks 9 which are equipped with levers 8 for placing them under tension.
