Definitions

  • the invention relates to a safety ski binding according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • the sole holders are designed as angle pieces which can be pivoted about a vertical axis, one leg of which holds the sole of the ski boot, while an angle lever is articulated on the other leg.
  • the mutually directed ends of the angle levers are connected to one another in an articulated manner and acted upon by a leg spring in the closing direction of the ski binding.
  • the free ends of the angle levers are facing forward.
  • This known ski binding has the disadvantage that the toe consists of many individual parts that are movable relative to one another. On the one hand, this can cause friction forces that are difficult to control in many places, on the other hand, the production of a ski binding consisting of so many individual parts is also complex.
  • a return spring separate from the release spring, which is attached in the heel holder and controls the plate movement, is required.
  • this known ski binding in the event of a ski deflection due to uneven terrain, only a slight longitudinal compensation is possible before jamming occurs.
  • the present invention has set itself the goal of avoiding the disadvantages mentioned and to make a ski binding of the type mentioned in its construction more compact. to reduce the number of individual components. Furthermore, tensioning of the ski boot sole or jamming of binding parts in the event of ski deflection should be reliably avoided.
  • the object is achieved according to the invention by the characterizing features of claim 1.
  • the arrangement of the rod-shaped control element in an exemption of the longitudinally displaceable housing reliably prevents the sole of the ski boot from becoming jammed or the binding base plate from jamming.
  • a housing which can be displaced in the longitudinal direction of the ski is known per se from AT-PS 384.950.
  • the embodiment according to the features of claim 2 enables a common movement of the locking element with the control element.
  • the measure of claim 3 saves the use of additional components.
  • the measure of claim 4 makes it easier for the binding fitter to assemble or adjust the length of the ski binding without time-consuming manipulations.
  • the features of claim 5 ensure that the ski binding automatically returns to the entry-ready position after a safety release.
  • the upper horizontal region of a support element extends essentially over the width of a front end region of the sole plate.
  • the design according to the characterizing part of claim 8 allows the designer to design the pivoting point and pivoting range of the sole holder either.
  • FIG. 1 shows the ski binding according to the invention in longitudinal section
  • FIG. 2 shows the front jaws according to FIG. 1 on a larger scale
  • FIG. 3 shows a top view thereof, partially cut along the line III-III of FIG. 2
  • FIG. 4 shows the front jaws with the sole plate partially pivoted
  • FIG. 5 the front jaw at the trigger point, partially cut along the line VV of FIG. 2
  • FIG. 6 the front jaw when the triggering has taken place
  • FIG. 7 the front jaw during the return movement.
  • front, rear, left and right refer to the position of the ski binding, i.e. front means towards the ski tip etc.
  • FIG. 1 A complete safety ski binding to be described in more detail below can be seen in FIG.
  • the parts shown with dash-dotted lines are not the subject of the invention and have only been shown for the sake of clarity.

  • the sole plate 20 also carries a heel holder 30 and a ski brake 40, the known type are not a subject of the invention and are therefore not described in detail.
  • the base plate 3 has guide rails 3a which extend in the longitudinal direction of the ski and project upwards on both sides.
  • a housing 4 is mounted by means of its base 4a so as to be longitudinally displaceable but not removable.
  • an exemption 4b is provided for parts of the toe piece 10 to be described later.
  • the exemption 4b has stops 4c on its lateral edges.
  • a guide groove 4h is cut out on the side facing the relief 4b.
  • the guide groove 4h runs along a circular ring piece, the center line of which is drawn along a circle, the center point of which lies in the axis of the pivot pin 6.
  • 4 through holes 4i are provided for the screws 2 in the housing.
  • a transverse inner wall 4j of the exemption 4b is laterally provided with a control curve 4d.

  • the sole holders 7 are articulated on the sole holder bolts 11.
  • the sole holders 7 are equipped in their rear region in a known and therefore not described manner with contact surfaces for ski shoe coals.
  • the sole holders 7 At their front end, the sole holders 7 have downward-facing pins 7a, the function of which will be described in more detail later.
  • the sole holders 7 are curved in a plan view in their front region, each curve 7b ending in a locking stop 7c. At the end of the curve 7b facing away from the bolt stop 7c, a snap-on edge 7d is provided.
  • a locking element 8 and a control element 9 which can be pivoted together with it are articulated on the axis 12.
  • the locking element 8 is approximately heart-shaped in plan view and has arches 8a and converging curved surfaces 8b.
  • the control element 9 is approximately rod-shaped and, viewed in the driving position of the ski binding, extends from the axis 12 to the front in the region of the longitudinal axis of the ski.
  • the sole plate 20 is pivoted. It takes the locking element 8 and the control element 9 with it. As soon as the control element 9 has reached the stop 4c (see FIG. 4), it begins to pivot together with the locking element 8 about the axis 12. If the force exceeds the elasticity range of the ski binding, the sole plate 20 on the one hand and the unit consisting of the locking element 8 and the control element 9 on the other hand are pivoted further until the sole holder 7 leading in the pivoting direction is released with its snap edge 7d from the area of the arch 8a of the locking element 8 (see Fig. 5) and releases the ski boot, not shown here, without further effort.
