Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device, as described in the preamble of claim 1 .
  • a ski binding with a lock and a locking mechanism for securing a winter sports device is already known—WO 01/95985 A—, in which the locking mechanism is fixed onto a winter sports device in the form of a ski, ski binding, ski stick, snowboard or the like, and the locking mechanism is accommodated on or in a cavity of a component belonging to a winter sports device and operates independently of fixed structures (ski-holders, guard rails or the like).
  • the disadvantage of this embodiment is that the locking mechanism is arranged in a cavity of the binding parts of a ski binding, and therefore neither the locking mechanism nor the locking bar are accessible from the outside. If after use or whilst the ski is locked liquid collects or freezes in the locking mechanism or between the locking bar and the individual binding parts it is very difficult even for a legitimate user to use the winter sports device again.
  • the objective of the invention is to install a securing device in a device for connecting a sports shoe to a sports device, in particular a shoe to a snowboard or a ski to avoid theft, which permits reliable operation in all operating conditions.
  • the lock element is pivoted in a free space between the moveable locking part and the fixed base part and is thereby accessible to the user via this free space. If after locking the locking device freezing occurs between the locking bar and the adjacent device part or the sports device, the latter is easily accessible and the frozen parts can be quickly eliminated by mechanical means or by the direct application of heat or suitable de-icing fluids.
  • the embodiment variant according to claim 3 also ensures that the locking part secures the adjusting part of the device parts in one of its end positions and thereby makes it impossible to climb into the usable movement area. Because the locking bar lies or bears in its end position on the base part there is no possibility of entering the usable movement area by force. Furthermore, due to the lifted brake element there is sufficient free space, which is easily accessible from all sides and thus can be easily released if stuck. In this instance it is possible to proceed using mechanical as well as releasing means.
  • the additional embodiment according to claim 4 has the advantage that the sports device is held by its device and its brake device in a brake position, whereby it is impossible to move away with the sports device, as in order to use the sports device the brake device would need to be in drive position.
  • the arrangement in the region of the brake has the advantage of being a simple additional arrangement, in that the housing of the complex structured device parts, such as the toe piece and the heel piece, is not needed for installation and its complicated structure is not made even more complex.
  • the external locking device also has the advantage that in the case of damage or vandalism it can be very easily replaced.
  • the internal arrangement of the locking device has the advantage that suitable lubrication means and the like can be provided, which prevent the freezing and sticking of the locking device even at extreme temperatures.
  • the additional design according to claim 5 has the advantage that the locking bar in its locked position projects over the binding plate into the one for inserting the ski shoe or the usable movement area between the toe and heel piece, and thus makes it impossible to climb into the required movement area.
  • the locking bar can in this case be arranged on the entire device, which does not permit the insertion of the shoe. This is also achieved by means of the features according to claim 6 .
  • the design according to claim 7 has the advantage that the locking mechanism with its locking device is designed to be adjustable between a position of rest and a locked position, i.e. by swivelling the locking bar into a locked position it is not possible to enter in the locked state, but in the position of rest it is possible to climb into and use the device without any difficulty.
  • the design according to claim 8 is also advantageous.
  • locking elements are allocated to the locking bar with its locking device which permit additional securing at least in its locked position. In this way the locking mechanism becomes even more secure.
  • the embodiment according to claim 11 has the advantage that the lock element can be kept very small if the locking elements stick out or protrude.
  • a further embodiment according to claim 12 provides a heating element which can be activated in case of emergency and can easily be activated if the binding has become frozen or stuck and the locking mechanism can be released despite the ice.
  • the embodiment according to claim 18 is advantageous, since as the locking bar of the locking mechanism sits on the base part of the brake device in a locked state, the brake device cannot be moved into the desired drive position. As the brake device is held in a locked state in brake position, operation as well as entry into this device is made impossible.
  • the lock element can also be arranged on the base part, so that the locking bar acts on the brake pedal, whereby the same effect is achieved.
  • the embodiments according to claim 19 and 20 have the advantage that here a freely accessible locking mechanism is created, which is accessible through several free spaces and therefore operability can be restored at any time in cases of freezing or sticking and in case of damage it can be easily removed and replaced by a new locking mechanism.
  • the embodiment according to claim 21 is advantageous, as by providing several locking bars security against forced opening is considerably increased.
  • the embodiment according to claim 22 has the advantage that the locking bar is arranged in its groove-shaped depression with a relatively large spacing on all sides.
  • the free space obtained in this way means that the locking mechanism is easily accessible and in the case of sticking can easily be released both mechanically and by de-icing means.
  • this embodiment can be very small and space-saving in all areas of the device.
  • the design of the locking mechanism can be made secure and stable, so that it can also not detached even by the effect of extreme force.
  • the locking mechanism or the external lock element is only used for locking into the device, whereby during the use of the sports device the device is reduced by the weight of the lock part.
  • the external lock element is carried on the body or in a trouser pocket, the latter is exposed to the body temperature of a person, which can be useful in itself for releasing the locking device to start with. Also when the locking mechanism is in a locked position the key can be heated by means of a lighter or the like to release the lock.
  • the embodiment variants according to claims 25 and 26 make it possible for the lock element to be arranged in the whole binding area.
  • the position of locking mechanism can be selected as desired by the inventor. It is important that it is easy to operate and if necessary is easily accessible.
  • the embodiment according to claim 27 permits a further advantageous design of the locking mechanism, as due to the possible mounting the mechanism parts do not have a more complex structure and this is avoided.
  • An embodiment according to claim 28 is advantageous. Here entry into the device or setting and/or adjusting the holding elements is prevented. In this way the latter in the locked state cannot be fitted onto the foot of a user or with too short a distance it is not possible to climb into the device.
  • the embodiment according to claim 30 makes it possible for the holding stirrup on the toe piece in a locked position to prevent unauthorised persons from entering into the binding.
