Definitions

  • the bottom side of the plate is provided with recesses, cut outs, grooves or the like, into which the binding and/ or parts holding the binding are placed and are securely held between the bottom side of the plate and the upper surface of the ski by fastening the sole plate to the ski.
  • the plate constitutes not only the support for the foot, but it insures at the same time the secure retention of the binding.
  • considerable economies are made in the time for mounting or assembling the sole plate and binding means and in costs, because afterwards no additional bores are needed for fastening the binding or the binding components.
  • bindings of different construction can be secured to the ski with the same sole plate, one after the other, without additional bores being required for each new binding.
  • the plate can be extruded in one piece out of plastic material together with the recesses, etc., as well as the bores for passing through the fastening screws. Consequently the manufacture or production is simple and cheap.
  • the binding, or the parts which retain it, are in this manner securely clamped without the danger of being lost, and thus they cannot slide.
  • a further advantage is afforded by the fact that this manner of mounting cannot be adversely affected by the penetration of snow or ice.
  • the invention provides furthermore for equally simple adaptation to any particular size or type of shoe.
  • the binding, or the parts which hold the binding are adjustable in the manner of a cord anchor plate or a plate having an inverted guide hook, and can be fixed in the particular position. Also for this adjusting or setting it is not necessary to provide new bores in the ski. This is a further advantage, because after repeated adaptation to different shoe sizes and types, or different bindings, there would soon be an inadmissible number of bore holes in the ski.
  • FIG. 1 is an embodiment of the sole plate with binding components embedded, as seen from the bottom,
  • FIG. 2 is a section taken along line 11-11 in FIG. 1,
  • FIG. 3 is a section of a detail of the plate having an inverted guide hook plate taken along line IIIIII of FIG. 1, 7
  • FIG. 4 shows in top view as a further embodiment that part of a ski having the sole plate and parts of the binding
  • FIG. 5 is the appertaining side view, partly in section, taken along line V--V in FIG. 4.
  • the sole plate 1 is preferably injection molded in one piece out of relatively hard plastic material.
  • the bottom side is formed in a manner that the parts of the binding to be described more in detail hereinafter can be inlaid, as the plate is fastened to the ski, i.e., as the screws 7 are tightened, are held securely between the bottom of the plate and the upper surface of the ski.
  • arcuately shaped grooves are provided into which the cable 5 can be laid.
  • the spring lock is indicated at 3
  • turnbuckles are provided at 4 and a spiral spring 6 is disposed around the cable 5.
  • the groove 2 is located at the forward half of the sole plate, approximately at the location where during skiing the ball of the foot comes to rest. This is considerably more advantageous than providing the circumferential binding ahead of the so-called forward cheeks.
  • Inverted guide hooks 9 or plates 10 provided with such hooks can be inserted in suitable recesses, such as recesses 8 that open outwardly of the bottom of the sole plate, and in lieu of the two plates shown a single continuous plate may be provided.
  • the support plates 10 are furthermore provided with claws 11 which retain the cable, or cord 5 or spiral spring 6 underneath.
  • the inverted hook plates with the hooks are stamped or pressed out of a piece of sheet metal or steel. This applies also to the cord anchor plate to be described below.
  • FIG. 2 indicates more particularly the manner in which the inverted guide hook plates are pressed or clamped against the surface of the ski 16 as the screws are tightened. For the sake of clarity the binding is not shown in this figure.
  • the screws 7 pass through bores 12 in the plates 10, which are in alignment with corresponding bores in the sole plate. In this manner a particularly rigid connection is obtained. 1
  • the inverted hook plate 10' in accordance with the embodiment of FIGS. 4 and 5 has holes 17 which are displaced longitudinally of the plate and through which the shafts of the screws 7 are passed. With the position of the sole plate 1 on the ski 16 remaining the same the inverted guide hook plate is thus adjustable longitudinally of the ski and can be securely fixed in the desired position by tightening the screws 7. It is also possible to provide other apertures in lieu of the bores 17, such as slots through which the screws 7 can be passed.
  • a cable or cord anchor plate 18 is provided to the lateral lugs 18' of which the ends of the cable or cord may be secured. It would also be possible to provide two separate plates for this purpose.
  • the cord anchor plate is also adjustable longitudinally of the ski by means of apertures, for example longitudinal slots 19, in a manner similar to the inverted guide hook plate, and can be secured in fixed position by means of screws 7.
  • These serrations also fix the position of the insert plates relative to the ski after tightening of the screws 7. They are especially recommended in the embodiments where the lates 10', 18 are provided with the slots 19, because on the one hand they make possible secure setting, and on the other hand, fine adjustment.
  • the plate 18 By adjusting the plate 18 it is possible to select the desired position for the binding with respect to the sole holder that engages the point of the boot relative to a safety head which is provided there.
  • An adjustment of this type which need not necessarily be the same as that provided by setting the plate 10' is indicated in FIG. 4 by means of dot and dash lines.
  • the plate 18 can also be pivoted by 180 about the axis defined by the lugs 18' so'that then its rearward end 18 is disposed forwardly, i.e., toward the point of the ski.
  • the possibilities for adjustment are considerably increased.
  • the location of the inverted hook plate 10 at any time results in an angle a formed by the binding cord which extends at an angle outwardly relative to the surface of the ski. If, as indicated in dot and dash lines the plate 10' is moved forwardly, then the angle at decreases to the value a. Accordingly it is possible to choose always that angle which corresponds to the position of the groove of the heel of the boot 21 indicated in dashed lines so that the parts 3, 5 are satisfactorily disposed in this groove.
  • the adjustability of the plate 10 as well as also the plate 18 can be provided for because in that event an optimum adaption on the particular shoe size is obtained.
  • the invention is not limited to this but advantages are already provided by the adjustability of the cord anchor plate alone or solely by adjustability of the inverted hook plate.
  • the 'bottom side of the sole plate is formed in such a manner that it can safely accommodate the plates 10' and 11 through their entire range of adjustability and press them against the surface of the ski.
  • the recesses 8 (FIG. 1, 2) and 8 (FIGS. 4, 5) of the sole plate are suitably provided in such a manner that they impart to the insert plates and parts of the binding the OOLI'I'CCt position relative to plate 1 and prevent, for example, that the plates 10, 10 and 18 are unintentionally displaced toward the side.
  • the bottom side of the sole plate may have recesses 13 which are reinforced by bridges or straps 14 and surrounded by a border 15.
  • the sole plate can taper toward the point of the ski in a wedge-like manner.
  • Sole plate and ski binding mounting means said sole plate being adapted to be fixedly mounted to the upper :surface of a ski and having a top side presenting an unobstructed plane surface and a bottom side provided with a plurality of recessed configurations, and said mounting means including said plurality of configurations and a plurality of binding components received therein, said sole plate constituting a clamping plate secured to a ski and clamping said plurality of binding components between said configurations and the upper ski surface.
