Definitions

  • a rear stop for a ski binding comprising a stop body, a jaw, a link pivotally connected to the jaw, a pin hingedly interconnecting said body and said link, said pin passing through an elongated slot in the body, a spring urging the pin toward the front of the slot, a second pin carried by the jaw and passing through a slot in the body that has an upper end and a lower end, a retractable member holding the second pin in the upper end, and means to retract the retractable member thereby to open the rear stop.
  • the present invention relates to rear stops for ski bindings.
  • the force of the spring enabling the stop to be released automatically is adjustable and constant, and one of the two pins acting indirectly as bearings for said spring passes through a curvilinear slot provided in the stop body, said pin remaining bearing on the bottom of said slot when the stop is in its normal position of use, while means are provided for enabling said pin to move within said slot when the user wants to open the stop, that is, when said user wants to take off his skis.
  • said means enable said pin and the pin hinging the link on the stop body to move within their respective slots, whereby said link assumes a position such that the three pins normally out ofline are first brought into line, and then reach opposite disalined positions wherein the stop is brought to its opening position, that is, the position enabling the user to take off his ski.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide a rear stop for ski binding of the kind referred to, the construction of which is simplified.
  • the link connecting the jaw with the stop body is hinged to said body by means of a in passing through an elongated slot and held at the front end of the latter by a spring the force of which is adjustable, while the pin hinging directly the jaw on the stop body passes through an elongated slot at the upper part of which it is held by a retractable member intended for opening the stop positively when operated by the user.
  • FIGS. 1, 2 and 3 are diagrammatic views showing the automatic release device of the stop of the invention in its closed position, that is, in use, then at the time it is being released, and in its opened or released position, respectively;
  • FIGS. 4 and 5 are side elevational views showing the positive release device for the stop of the invention, in its closed position, that is, when the stop is in use, and just after the opening ofthe latter, respectively.
  • 2 indicates the base plate on which the stop body 3 is mounted for sliding lengthwise by means of slides (not shown), while 4 indicates a spring which urges the stop forward, while allowing a resilient rearward movement of the latter when the user puts on his ski, as described previously in my above-mentioned patent.
  • Said jaw is pivoted on the stop body 3 by a pin 7, on the one hand, and hinged to a link 8 by a pin 9, on the other hand.
  • Said link 8 is pivoted on the stop body 3 by a pin 10.
  • Said pin 10 is actually constituted by two coaxial lugs integral with a central member 12, against the rear face of which a helical spring 13 bears, while the rear end of said spring bears against a screw 14 adapted to be screwed in a tapped housing in the stop body 3.
  • the pin 10 pivoting the link 8 on the stop body 3 passes through a horizontal elongated slot provided in said stop body 3 and, under the pressure of the spring 13, bears resiliently on the front end of said slot, as shown in FIG. 1.
  • the three pins 9, 10, and 7 are disalined, and the jaw 5 is in its lowermost position, which corresponds to the closed position of the stop.
  • the shoe of the user is firmly held against the front stop and the rear stop of the binding, and is thus made integral with the ski.
  • the tractive effort exerted upward by the jaw 5 of the rear stop by the users shoe exceeds a predetermined maximum value, said jaw 5 tends to rise, the link 8 tending to push back its pin 10 within its slot while compressing the spring; 13.
  • the stop is thus able to reach the unbalanced position shown in FIG. 2 in which position the pins 9, 10 and 7 are in line.
  • the jaw 5 is, of course, unable to remain in said unbalanced position and passes beyond it to reach the opposite baUanced position shown in FIG. 3, that is, its open position, at which the shoe is entirely disengaged from the rear stop of the ski binding.
  • Means are provided, of course, for enabling the user to take off his ski at will.
  • the pin 7 hinging the jaw 5 to the stop body 3 does not pass through a round hole but through a substantially vertical elongated slot 15 provided in the stop body 3, and a member is provided for holding normally said pin 7 at the upper portion of said slot 15.
  • Said member consists of a small plate 16 slidingly mounted in a slide 17 provided on the side of the stop body 3.
  • Said small plate 16 has an upper wing 18 on which the pin 7 rests, so that it is the said wing 18 which holds the pin 7 at the upper portion of the elongated slot 15.
  • the small plate 16 is provided, besides, with a notch 19 in its central portion, which notch houses the nose 21 of a small lever 22 hinged at 23 to the stop body 3.
  • a spring 24 holds said lever 22 in its uppermost position, in which the small plate 16 is shifted rearward to a maximum by the nose 21 ofthe lever 22.
  • a rear stop for a ski binding comprising a stop body, a jaw, a link pivotally connected to the jaw, a pin transversely extending hingedly interconnecting said body and said link, said pin passing through an elongated slot in said body, a spring urging said pin toward the front of said slot, a second transversely extending pin carried by said jaw and passing through a second slot in said body that has an upper end and a lower end, a retractable member holding said second pin in said upper end, and means to retract said retractable member thereby to open the rear stop.
  • a rear stop as claimed in claim 2, said means to adjust the force of said spring comprising a screw screw-threadedly received in said stop body and bearing against said spring.
  • a rear stop as claimed in claim 1 said retractable member comprising a plate sliding on the side of said body and
