Definitions

  • a soleholder is provided at the free end of a lever, which is pivoted to a part that is fixed to the ski.
  • the soleholder is spring-urged into its locking position.
  • the spring force is applied to the soleholder by means of a connecting lever, which has pivotal connections on different axes to the soleholder and to the carrying member, respectively.
  • the carrying member is pivotally movable about a fulcrum axis, which is parallel to the surface of the ski and transverse to the longitudinal direction of the ski.
  • the distance from the axis of the pivotal connection between the connecting lever and the soleholder to an imaginary straight line connecting the fulcrum axis of the carrying member to the axis of the pivotal connection between the carrying member and the connecting lever increases as the soleholder is pivotally moved away from its locking position.
  • This invention relates to a heel-releasing device for safety ski bindings, which device comprises a soleholder, which is provided at the free end of a lever, which is pivoted to a part that is fixed to the ski, said soleholder being spring-urged into its locking position.
  • the release function results in the release of a pivoted locking member when a torque is exceeded, which is preferably adjustable by a detent device.
  • the release may he suddenly effected, e.g., where ball detents or cams are released, or the release may be damped and be effected only when a predetermined angle of opening has been exceeded, so that a certain safety is obtained.
  • the binding yields elastically to short, harmless shocks, such as often occur, and thereafter returns to its normal position.
  • the force opposing a release In order to ensure a reliable control of the ski with such bindings, particularly with heel-holding devices, the same must always be adjusted so that the force opposing a release is as large as is permissible to the skier. It is important, therefore, that this force opposing a release does not increase during a release operation. In order to avoid danger to the skier, the force opposing a release should remain at least the same or preferably decrease as the angle of opening increases. This requirement is particularly important with ski racers, who need a particularly firm connection between the skiing boot and the ski. In most cases, this requirement leads to the setting of the conventional ski bindings to the maximum force opposing a release.
  • bindings As the opening operation of these bindings involves an increase in the force opposing a release, although this increase is only temporary, these bindings may not be released at all so that they can no longer be considered as safety bindings.
  • the extreme conditions which are encountered in ski racing show most clearly that the force opposing a release must not increase when the binding is being opened.
  • a check is enabled by a triple window, in which a red mark is exposed. Continual corrections are required to ensure that the force which is required for a release remains constant.
  • the invention provides a release element and a forcesetting device which are intended for use in safety ski bindings and enables an infinite adjustment of the force which is required for a release through a wide range, whereas the setting of the force which is required for a release is not aflected by a change in the dimensions of the skiing boot, th eforce opposing a release is not increased during the release operation, and a damping effect is obtained.
  • the spring force is applied to the soleholder by means of a connecting lever, which has pivotal connections on different axes to the sole holder and to a carrying member, respectively, which is pivotally movable about a fulcrum axis which is parallel to the surface of the ski and transverse to the longitudinal direction of the ski, and the distance from the axis of the pivotal connection between the connecting lever and the soleholder to an imaginary straight line connecting the fulcrum axis of the carrying member to the axis of the pivotal connection between the carrying member and the connecting lever increases as the soleholder is pivotally moved away from its locking position.
  • the connecting lever is adapted to be urged by the spring force against a stationary, noselike guide, and the soleholder is provided with a slot, which is engaged with the stationary fulcrum member for the carrying member.
  • the stationary, noselike guide is formed by the end edges of the side portions of a bearing bracket, which is fixed to the ski and carries the fulcrum member for the carrying member, and the connecting lever bears on the end edges of the side portions by means of a pin, which protrudes laterally beyond the side portions of the bearing bracket and which may be provided with rollers and in the colsed position engages the depression in the guide formed by the nose.
  • Such a heel-releasing device is highly desirable for various reasons.
  • the formation of the nose on the bearing bracket which is fixed to the ski enables an outward pivotal movement of about 3-5 in a response to a force which acts on the soleholder and which is not sufiicient for an immediate release of the device and such force will not result in a complete release of the boot.
  • a release will not be effected until the outward pivotal movement has exceeded said angle.
  • This feature substantially increases the convenience of skiing because smaller shocks, such as often occur, are resiliently absorbed.
  • a change in a dimension of the skiing boot will not aliect the force which is required for a release of the skiing boot because said force which has been set is independent of the contact pressure between the soleholder and the skiing boot.
  • the connecting lever has a slot, which extends in its longitudinal direction substantially parallel to the imaginary straight line which connects the axis of the pin, which protrudes laterally beyond the side portions of the bearing bracket, and the axis of the pivotal connection between the connecting lever and the carrying member and said slot is engaged by the pin for the pivotal connection to the soleholder.
  • a spring is provided between the soleholder and the top wall of the carrying member, which constitutes a housing, and said spring is compressed and relaxed, respectively, in response to an upward and downward movement of the pin in the slot formed in the connecting lever.
  • This arrangement enables an elastic up and down movement of the soleholder by about 3 mm. so that a desirable absorption of shocks is enabled in addition to the shock absorption which is alforded by the abovementioned design of the nose.
  • the pin which protrudes laterally beyond the side portions of the bearing bracket is preferably provided with rollers, which facilitate the sliding of the pin on the bearing bracket surfaces in contact with the pin.
  • the connecting lever carrying the pin which engages the end edges of the bearing bracket has a recess, which in the locking position engages under the action of the spring a pin, which is secured to the bearing bracket and extends transversely to the longitudinal direction of the ski.
  • the nose on the bearing bracket consists of a guide, on which the pin protruding laterally beyond the side portions of the bearing bracket slides during the opening and closing movements of the heel-releasing device.
  • the contour of the nose of the bearing bracket is preferably designed so that after the action of a force which is larger than the set force required for a release the pin which slides on the nose is moved under the action of the spring into a position which enables the skier to step into the binding.

It is emphasized that all elements which are required in a heel-releasing device for safety ski bindings and which are not expressly mentioned in the present specification and the accompanying drawings are of known design.
  • FIGS. 1 to 4 show an embodiment of the release element according to the invention.
  • a hearing bracket 15 consists of two angles 5 and 6, which are secured to a ski 1 and are connected by a pin 16, which extends parallel to the surface of the ski and at right angles to the longitudinal direction of the ski. Pivotally mounted on the pin 16 are the soleholder 10 at its end nearer to the tip of the ski, and a carrying member 13, which consists of a housing.
  • the soleholder 10 is pivoted by a pin 12 to a connecting lever 11, which is pivoted to the carrying member 13 by a pivot 17 disposed above the pivot 12.
  • a pin 14 is provided below the pivots 12 and 17 and protrudes laterally beyond the side portions of the bearing bracket 15.
  • a tension spring 19 is secured to the pin 14 and the pivot 16.
  • the tensile force of said spring can be adjusted in known manner.
  • Those ends of the two angles 5 and 6 which are nearer to the tip of the ski have the form of a nose, which enables the pin 14 to snap in under the action of the spring 19 when the heel-releasing device is in closed position.
  • the nose is designed so that the tension of the spring 19 causes the soleholder 10 to continue its outward pivotal movement when the pin 14 has moved beyond the extreme projection of the noses of the angles 5 and 6 under the action of a force applied to the soleholder so that the heelreleasing device assumes its step-in position.
  • the soleholder 10 is provided with a slot 21, which extends in the longitudinal direction of the ski 1 and enables the soleholder 10 to move forwardly past the noses of the angles 5 and 6.
  • the drawing shows in dotted lines a right-angled bell-crank lever 23, which is pivotally mounted on the pin 17 and has one arm resting on the pin 14.
  • the other arm of the lever 23 protrudes from the housing 13. Pressure applied to the latter arm, e.g., by hand or with the ski stick, will then force the pin 14 past the nose of the angles 5 and 6 so that the release element can be opened when it is desired to step out of the binding.
  • the axis of the pivot 12 is somewhat offset toward the tip of the ski from the imaginary straight line connecting the axes of pivots 14 and 17 so that there is a lever arm a.
  • This lever arm a for the setting and function of the release device according to the invention will be explained hereinafter.
  • FIGS. to 9 show another embodiment of the invention.
  • a hearing bracket consisting of two angles 5 and 6 is provided on a ski 1.
  • the angles 5 and 6 are connected by a pin 16, which extends parallel to the surface of the ski and at right angles to the longitudinal direction of the ski.
  • a soleholder 10 and a carrying member 13 are provided on the pin 16.
  • the soleholder 10 is pivoted by a pin 12 to a connecting lever 11, which is pivoted to a carrying member 13 by means of a pin 17, the axis of which is disposed above the axis of pin 12.
  • the connecting lever 11 comprises also a pin 14, which protrudes laterally beyond the angles 5 and 6.
  • the connecting lever 11 is formed with a recess or indentation on that side which faces the rear end of the ski.
  • this recess or indentation engages a pin 20, which connects the angles 5 and 6 and extends parallel to the surface of the ski and at right angles to the longitudinal direction of the ski.
  • a tension spring 19 is secured to the pivot 16 and at 24 to the connecting lever 11.
  • a slot 21 and the right-angled bell-crank lever 23 are provided just as in the embodiment of FIGS. 1 to 4.
  • those portions of the angles 5 and 6 which face the tip of the ski form also noses but these noses need not permit the pin 14 to snap in because this function is provided for by the recess in the connecting lever 11 in combination with the pin 20. It is sufficient if the noses of the angles 5 and 6 are designed to guide the pin 14 during the opening and closing movements of the heel-releasing device according to the invention.
  • the nose has such a contour that the spring 19 pulls the heel-releasing device into the position in which the skier can step into the binding when a force acting on the soleholder 10 has moved the pin 14 beyond the projection of the noses on the angles 5 and 6.
  • FIGS. 10 and 11 Another embodiment of the invention is shown in FIGS. 10 and 11 and differs from the embodiment of FIGS. 1 to 4 in that a connecting lever 11 is provided adjacent to the pivot 12 for connection to a soleholder 10 with a slot 22, which is substantially parallel to an imaginary straight line which connects the axes of pivots 14 and 17, and a spring 18 is provided between the soleholder 10 and the top wall of the housing 13 and is compressed or relaxed when the pivot 12 connected to the soleholder 10 moves along the slot 22.
  • a connecting lever 11 is provided adjacent to the pivot 12 for connection to a soleholder 10 with a slot 22, which is substantially parallel to an imaginary straight line which connects the axes of pivots 14 and 17, and a spring 18 is provided between the soleholder 10 and the top wall of the housing 13 and is compressed or relaxed when the pivot 12 connected to the soleholder 10 moves along the slot 22.
  • Such slot 22 in conjunction with such spring 18 may be provided also in the embodiment of the heel-releasing device according to the invention shown in FIGS. 5 to 9.
  • FIGS. 12 and 13 show diagrammatically the lever ratios of the heel-releasing device according to the invention. Two lever arms a and b are provided. A force P opposes the release of the system according to the invention and is related to the parameters of the heel-releasing device in accordance with the equation where P is the force which is determined by the tension spring of the device.
  • the force which opposes a release of the heel-releasing device according to the invention can thus be varied by a variation of lever arm a if the spring force and the lever arm b are constant, andby a variation of the spring force P if the lever arms a and b are constant. All parameters which are involved may also be varied.
  • the lever arm a increases from its length in the closed position continuously during the action of a force applied to the soleholder in the direction of the arrow shown in the drawing so that the force P opposing a release decreases as the angle of opening a. of the heel-releasing device increases.

  • Means may be provided for a visual indication of the set forces required for a release. These means may comprise a window in which the forces P generated by the system and opposing a release are directly indicated in dependence on the setting of the tension spring 19. Different ranges of the force required for a release may alternatively be indicated by different colors or other symbols.
