Connection of ski bindings and skis

The invention relates to a connection between ski binding and ski, that is to say a new type of fastening of the ski binding to the ski body. '

In the conventional way of fastening a binding or. of the binding parts on the ski arise a number of serious ones Disadvantages in that the binding or binding parts are screwed directly to the ski body, with holes in the ski must be introduced.

If the binding model is changed, new holes have to be made that weaken the ski body. The same applies if the binding is offset for a different shoe size must become. With conventional bindings, only a slight length adjustment of a maximum of about 2 cm (one shoe size) possible. A fastening screw that has been torn out no longer offers optimal tensile strength and thus guarantees no longer a perfect hold of the binding on the ski. A binding assembly is hardly possible for laypeople, as they do the same Requires knowledge and tools. An immovable attachment of the binding to the ski is therefore inexpedient.

It is also known that the position of the tip of the boot on the ski influences the guidance properties of the ski. If this po- Once the position is set, it can only be changed by moving the Binding can be changed with the disadvantages mentioned above,

although a quick and easy change of this position would often be desirable for the user on the go (deep snow or Piste).

Wedges that can be screwed between ski and binding have recently become available in specialist shops and one change the ski edge load. If the wedges once are mounted, the edge loading can no longer be adapted to individual needs.

The invention is therefore based on the task of making it possible to mount and change bindings at any time in the simplest possible manner to cheaper, as well as to eliminate the aforementioned disadvantages in that a possibility for direct adjustment of the Binding to the ski, also for laypeople and on the go, is created.

In particular, the invention is intended to enable a binding change or a shoe size adjustment in bindings of conventional construction to an extreme extent. It should also be possible without shoe size adjustment and / or change the position of the entire binding on the ski without adjusting the binding. The binding should therefore depend on the needs can be shifted as a whole towards the tip or tail of the ski. Finally, the invention is intended to make it possible for users with different levels of stress on the inner or outer edges of the ski, due to orthopedic Differences in feet and legs, or to change the edge grip, depending on personal wishes, a high or To enable subscript of the outer edges or inner edges of the binding.

According to the invention, all of this is achieved in that an intermediate member is attached to the ski, on which the ski binding or at least .part of the ski binding is attached.

Such an intermediate link can either be designed as part of the ski or as part of the binding, or it can also be used as a separate connecting part (intermediate kit) for use between skis and ski bindings or at least be formed part of the bond.

The ideal solution would be to design the underside of the bindings so that they attach to a suitable pontic can be fastened adjustably in their respective position to the ski and to the intermediate link. This solution is but hardly practicable for the time being because of the great differences in the design and construction of conventional bindings. You will therefore, at least for the time being, the intermediate link must be designed as a separate intermediate kit.

In both cases, the intermediate member can be designed as a holder, which in itself in the longitudinal direction of the ski and / or in relation is adjustable on a ski edge, which changes the position of the binding as a whole on the ski, both in the longitudinal direction of the ski as well as in terms of edge loading can be achieved.

The bracket can consist of one that is attached to or to be attached to the ski There are guide part and an adjustable and lockable binding carrier. It is possible to use the Guide part and thus the entire holder to be built into the ski from the outset during the manufacture of the ski, or the holder Can be attached to the ski at a later date, e.g. by screwing or gluing on. This gives the possibility of a., simple change of position of the complete binding on the ski. If the binding and thus the toe of the shoe are out of their normal position Shifted towards the tip of the ski, the ability of the ski to turn increases because the body's center of gravity is shifted forward a rearward position results in improved guidance properties of the ski, especially in deep snow.

By adjusting the bracket in relation to the ski edge, the outer edges or are raised or lowered Inner edges, it being sufficient to realize the adjustability in relation to one edge of each ski, since the two skis (right and left) of a pair can be interchanged. By adjusting the edge, the edge grip of the ski can be changed and improved according to personal wishes (inner ski turn - slope incline on icy slopes). In addition, uneven loading of the edges due to orthopedic differences in the feet and legs be eliminated individually. A good example of the frequency of this problem is externally worn shoe soles. It can therefore an exact adaptation of the ski to the foot can be achieved.

Details on the possible training of the leadership part and the Binding carrier of the adjustable bracket result from the claims.

The intermediate link or the binding carrier can have several receptacles (e.g. threaded holes, elongated holes, etc.), which are dimensioned and arranged so that the binding parts can be attached to it in various positions and / or that the intermediate link or the binding carrier can accommodate different parts of the binding »The receptacles in the intermediate link or binding carriers can, for example, form a grid pattern. This makes it possible to replace the ski body with new ones To weaken the bores, to change the binding models within a very short time and repeatedly, or to change them to very different ones To adjust shoe sizes (ski rental, touring or downhill bindings, any combination of skis and bindings with a simple Removing the binding carrier and binding).

The claims also provide for solving this sub-object of the invention Training opportunities.

Embodiments of the invention are described below with reference to the drawing:

Fig. 1 shows part of a side view

Skis with ski bindings and with the intermediate link according to the invention as a functional diagram.

Fig. 2 shows a perspective view, partially

cut, an embodiment of the intermediate member according to the invention.

Fig. 5 is a section transverse to the longitudinal axis of the ski.

Fig. 4 illustrates in sections transverse to the longitudinal axis of the ski the scheme of edge adjustment.

Fig .. 5 shows in three partial cross cut more comparable \

simple examples for the execution of the edge adjustment.

The illustrated embodiment was designed for subsequent attachment to a conventional ski, although the direct installation during the manufacture of the ski and a corresponding design change to the binding would be more advantageous. However, the punctures described at the beginning and below are identical for both cases.

The functional diagram of the invention is shown in FIG. The intermediate member or the holder according to the invention consists hereafter from a binding carrier (base plate 1), which is arranged on a guide rail 2, which in turn is attached to a ski 3 is. The base plate 1 carries the front part 8a and the rear part 8b of a conventional binding. The binding parts 8a and 8b are attached to the base plate 1 adjustable. The base plate 1 is in turn in the direction of the two arrows shown in FIG

Longitudinal direction of the ski 3 with respect to the guide rail 2 slidable and adjustable in relation to a ski edge.

In Fig. 2 the holder is shown without skis and without bindings. The guide rail 2 can be attached (screwed and / or glued) directly to the ski and forms a unit with the ski. The base plate 1 is provided as a binding carrier with pre-drilled holes J for different binding models. Of these holes J , a greater number than shown can be provided for receiving different binding models and / or for receiving binding parts in different positions. The holes 7 can be through holes, threaded holes, elongated holes or the like.

The guide rail 2 has the cross section shown in Figure 2 essentially in the form of an upwardly open, flat U with two lateral guide surfaces running parallel to the ski edges. The U-bar forms the underside of the Guide rail 2 and lies on the top of the ski 3> on. Instead of, as shown, from one continuous part, the binding carrier (base plate 1) can also consist of two separate parts and parts which can be adjusted independently of one another in the longitudinal direction of the ski exist, one of which is to accommodate the front part 8a and the other to receive the rear part 8b of the binding. The binding carrier 1 has a guide rail 2 that is complementary Shape, in the illustrated embodiment also a flat U, which, however, is open at the bottom. Of the Binding carrier 1 is guided laterally on guide rail 2 in the longitudinal direction of the ski and, for example, by means of clamping screws 6, which engage in the guide rail 2 through elongated holes 6a in the base plate 1, opposite the guide rail 2 lockable.

The binding carrier (base plate l) is on the one shown in Fig. 2 and j5 side shown on the left by means of a laterally directed

Approach la guided in a groove 2a of the guide rail 2 running in the longitudinal direction of the ski, this groove 2a to the center of the ski is open. So that the binding carrier 1 is on this Side of the bracket secured against being lifted upwards. On the opposite long side of the binding carrier 1 is only by lateral contact of his downward leg Ib on the corresponding, naeh ", upward leg 2b of the Guide rail 2 guided, but not secured against lifting up on the guide rail 2. This way is after Loosen the clamping screws 6, pivot the binding carrier 1 out of the guide rail 2 upwards and remove it of the binding carrier 1 with the binding located on it possible, whereby the exchange of complete bindings with associated Binding carrier can be accomplished.

Due to the illustrated design of the base plate 1 and guide rail 2 is achieved at the same time that the existing from parts 1 and 2 adjustable bracket by a parallel to Axis lying along the longitudinal axis of the ski (in the illustrated embodiment, approximately an outer edge of the ski) is pivotable. Through this a one-sided edge adjustment to adapt to the ski edge load is achieved. Freely selectable for setting (small) angle between binding carrier 1 and the underside of the ski can between the guide rail 2 and the base plate differently designed adjustment means for lifting the Binding carrier 1 or be provided by parts of the binding carrier. Various such adjustment means are shown in FIGS illustrated.

First, Figs. 2 to 4 show adjusting means, which are formed by cooperating wedge strips 4 and 5, which in the longitudinal direction of the ski in the area of the lateral guides Ib, 2b between the guide rail 2 and the base plate 1 are arranged and on which the base plate 1 rests over the entire length of the V-ledges 4 and 5. The upper wedge bar 5 is in the longitudinal direction of the ski

fixed in relation to the base plate 1 and only movable upwards. The counter strip 4 can be adjusted in the longitudinal direction of the ski by means of an adjusting screw 4a adjusted. The wedge-shaped bearing surfaces have the effect that the base plate 1 is lifted on one side. In Fig. 4a the basic position (base plate 1 parallel to Guide rail 2 and to ski J) shown, and in Fig. 4B the position of the base plate 1 raised on one side and adjusted relative to the guide rail 2 and the ski 3 is shown.

In Fig. 5G , another embodiment of the adjustment by means of V-ledges is shown. Here, the V-ledges 4 and 5 are not adjustable in relation to one another in the longitudinal direction of the ski but in the transverse direction of the ski, in which case the lower V-ledge is fixedly arranged on the guide rail 2 and the upper V-ledge 5 is movably arranged with respect to the base plate 1. The adjustment of the V-ledges against each other can also be done here by means of a screw.

According to Fig. 5A, the adjustment of the base plate 1 with respect to the guide rail 2 takes place by means of a worm screw 9 arranged between these two parts. When rotated, a further rail 10 located within the guide rail 2 is moved up or down, into which a projection of the base plate is moved 1 intervenes.

Finally, Fig. 5B shows a way to adjust the Base plate 1 opposite guide rail 2 by hand. Here, too, the base plate 1 engages in a rail by means of a projection 10, which lies between the base plate 1 and the guide rail 2. In the desired position, the rail 10 is by means of a Anchored clamping screw 11, which engages in the further rail 10 through an elongated hole in the side wall of the guide rail 2.

For the execution of the base plate 1 and the guide part 2 adjustable holder, many possibilities are conceivable within the scope of the inventive concept, as well as for the adjustment means for edge adjustment.
