Abstract

A damping element (1) arranged between the ski surface (2) and the ski binding (3) absorbs the shocks and elastic vibrations resulting from the passage on irregularities of the ground. The damping element facilitates particularly the practice of ski, mainly when taking curves, while improving in general the security at high speeds. Since it has a shock damping and antivibrating effect, the damping device also prevents ski accidents. The damping device comprises a polyurethane layer with on top of it at least one metal layer of aluminum alloy.

Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft ein Dämpfungselement für einen Ski gemäss dem Oberbegriff des Patentanspruches 1.The present invention relates to a damping element for a ski according to the preamble of patent claim 1.

Bei bisher gebräuchlichen Skibindungen sind die Vorderbacken, die Fersenniederhalter bzw. die Auflagefläche einer Skibindung direkt und starr mit der Skikonstruktion in fester Verbindung montiert worden. In dieser unnachgiebigen Verbindung führten die einzelnen Elemente einer Skibindung ihre Funktion aus, die neben der Fixierung des Skischuhs mit dem Ski vorwiegend dem Zwecke dient den Skifahrer bei einem Sturz vor Unfallfolgen. zu schützen. Eine solche starre Verbindung der Teile der Skibindung mit dem Ski hat den wesentlichen Nachteil, dass beim Befahren von Unebenheiten die hervorgerufenen Schläge und Vibrationen direkt auf den Skifahrer übertragen werden. Die Erscheinungen erschweren nicht nur die Skiführung, sondern sie wirken auch ermüdend und unangenehm auf den Skifahrer und führen im weiteren zu Unfällen. Skelett, Bänder, Gelenke und Muskulatur werden zu stark beansprucht.With previously used ski bindings, the front jaws, the heel hold-down or the contact surface of a ski binding have been directly and rigidly attached to the ski construction in a fixed connection. In this relentless connection, the individual elements of a ski binding performed their function, which, in addition to fixing the ski boot to the ski, primarily serves the purpose of helping the skier in the event of a fall before the consequences of an accident. to protect. Such a rigid connection of the parts of the ski binding to the ski has the major disadvantage that the bumps and vibrations caused are transmitted directly to the skier when driving over bumps. The phenomena not only make skiing more difficult, they are also tiring and uncomfortable for the skier and also lead to accidents. The skeleton, ligaments, joints and muscles are overused.

Aus der DE-A-2259375 ist eine Vorrichtung vorbekannt, die bei einem geringen Kräfteaufwand die Lenkfähigkeit und die Führungseigenschaften von Skiern wesentlich verbessern soll. Im Mittelteil über dem in Form einer Kufe ausgebildeten Ski ist eine entgegengesetzt durchgebogene Feder gelenkig befestigt. Auf der Feder ist die Skibindung befestigt. Der Raum zwischen der Skioberfläche und der Feder ist mit Schaumstoff gefüllt und soll eine dämpfende Wirkung ausüben. Die dämpfende Wirkung erfolgt jedoch nur in einer im wesentlichen auf die Skioberfläche senkrechten Richtung. Eine Dämpfung in Längsrichtung des Skis kann mit dieser Vorrichtung nicht erzielt werden.From DE-A-2259375 a device is previously known which is intended to improve the steering ability and the guiding properties of skis with little effort. In the middle part above the ski designed in the form of a skid, an oppositely bent spring is articulated. The ski binding is attached to the spring. The space between the ski surface and the spring is filled with foam and is said to have a dampening effect. However, the damping effect only takes place in a direction essentially perpendicular to the ski surface. Damping in the longitudinal direction of the ski cannot be achieved with this device.

Aus der US-A-3 260 532 ist eine Montagevorrichtung für eine Skibindung vorbekannt, welche eine gewölbte Montageplatte umfasst, die an ihren Enden auf mit dem Ski verbundenen Montageelementen aufgeschraubt wird. Um ein Eindringen von Schnee in den Zwischenraum zwischen Skioberfläche und der Montageplatte für die Skibindung zu verhindern, ist in diesem Zwischenraum eine Füllung aus elastischem Schaumgummi vorgesehen. Die Schaumgummischicht erfüllt nicht primär die Funktion eines Dämpfungselementes, sondern soll das Eindringen von Schnee in den Zwischenraum zwischen Skioberfläche und der Montageplatte für die Skibindung verhindern. Im weiteren wird durch diese Montagevorrichtung keine Dämpfung in Längsrichtung erzielt.From US-A-3 260 532 a mounting device for a ski binding is known which comprises a curved mounting plate which is screwed at its ends onto mounting elements connected to the ski. In order to prevent snow from penetrating into the space between the ski surface and the mounting plate for the ski binding, a filling made of elastic foam rubber is provided in this space. The foam rubber layer does not primarily fulfill the function of a damping element, but is intended to prevent snow from penetrating into the space between the ski surface and the mounting plate for the ski binding. Furthermore, no damping in the longitudinal direction is achieved by this mounting device.

Es ist deshalb Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung, ausgehend vom oben dargelegten Stand der Technik, ein Dämpfungselement für einen Ski zu schaffen, welches die beim Überfahren von Unebenheiten erzeugten Schläge und Vibrationen optimal aufnimmt. wobei eine Dämpfung in Längsrichtung der Skier erfolgen soll.It is therefore an object of the present invention, starting from the prior art set out above, to provide a damping element for a ski which optimally absorbs the impacts and vibrations generated when driving over bumps. damping should take place in the longitudinal direction of the skis.

Dies wird erfindungsgemäss durch die kennzeichnenden Merkmale des Patentanspruches 1 erzielt.According to the invention, this is achieved by the characterizing features of patent claim 1.
