Definitions

  • This invention relates to an engagement assembly for ski binding application.
  • Said prior rod-like element has a straight portion which is terminated at the top with a bent portion adapted to engage with the back and lateral regions of the skier's leg, substantially at the middle of the tibia region.
  • This known binding arrangement further includes elastic means acting on said rod-like element to hold it constantly in contact with the leg back ; the elastic means preferably comprising a commercial type of gas spring which has. a cylindrical body fastened at an edge thereof in a' seat of a profiled small block rigid with the rod-like element, at the straight portion thereof, and a piston journalled with one end to a crosepin carried on the ski, or alternatively on a rear latching body.
  • a first disadvantage of this prior arrangement is that the user cannot replace the gas spring with other similar gas springs having different elastic properties to accommodate varying elastic thrust requirements.
  • a further object of the invention is to provide an engagement assembly which enables a gas spring forming said elastic means to be quickly and easily installed directly by the skier.
  • Another object of this invention is to provide such an engagement assembly which is quite safe and reliable to operate.
  • an engagement assembly for ski binding application comprising a rod-like element associable with a ski for oscillation about an axis extending substantially parallel to the plane containing said ski and substantially perpendicular to said ski length direction, said rod-like element defining a means of engagement with the skier's leg, .
  • elastic means elastically helding said rod-like element in contact with a back region of the skier's leg and comprising an elongate element of elastically changeable working length, characterized in that said elastic means is removable and extends between a bracket attached to said rod-like element near the top end thereof. and a pin offset with respect to the oscillation axis of said rod-like, element.
  • the engagement assembly for ski binding application of this invention comprises a rod-like element 1 which is associated, with the bottom end thereof, to a rear latching body, generally indicated at 2 ' and no further decribed herein, which would be fastened to a ski 3.
  • the rod-like element 1 is allowed to oscillate about a pivot axis extending substantially parallel to the plane of lay of the ski 3 and substantially perpendicular to the length direction of the ski.
  • the rod-like element 1 moreover, has a straight portion 4, at the bottom thereof, which is followed by a looped portion 5 encircling the lateral region of the skier's leg, which portion 5 extends into a rear portion 6 which can be positioned at the leg back and is terminated with a lateral portion 7 spanning the other side of the skier's leg.
  • the looped portion 5 and lateral portion 7, which are expediently padded with some soft material, are at a mutual distance apart which is greater than the ski width, and have at their projecting ends serrations, indicated at 8, which enable the rod-like element to serve as ski lock when in the inoperative position, it being possible to provide such serrations with ice spikes to improve their grip on icy surfaces.
  • An elastic means arranged to act on said rod-like element 1, is effective to hold the rod-like element 1, and more specifically the rear portion 6 thereof, in elastic engagement with the back region of the skier's leg and comprises a gas spring, generally designated with the reference numeral 10, which has a cylindrical body 11 accommodating a sliding rod 12 therein.
  • the gas spring 10 by virtue of coupling arrangements to be described hereinafter, is made detachable and hence readily replaceable with other gas springs having different thrust, braking, and ratea of extension, thereby the skier's varying requirements can be met.
  • the bracket element 20 has a substantially U-like configuration, with the side legs 21 of the "U” ending each in a spur 22 which engages laterally with the start section of the loop portion 5 and is inserted into the padding of the latter, thus providing an engagement element effective to prevent rotation of the bracket 20 about the rod-like element 1.
  • the bracket 20 is inserted to straddle the rod-like element, or alternatively over the element I, and receive the straight portion of the rod-like element 1 in a seat 23 which is defined at the section 24 interconnecting the two legs 21; further, and as mentioned in the foregoing, the spur sections22 would be arranged laterally to the start section of the loop portion 5 to prevent relative rotation of the bracket 20 and rod-like element 1.
  • a pin 26 is arranged to interconnect the legs 21 and extend practically tangent to the surface of.the rod-like element 1.
  • the bracket 20 also has a seat 30 on the front thereof for engagement with the end of the cylindrical body 11, which seat is followed by a slot 31 bound, by the . legs 21 and accommodating the ear 13.
  • a snap pin 40 which is inserted through a pair of cross holes 41 formed through the legs 21 to receive the pin 40,the stem 42 whereof engages in the hole 14.
  • the snap pin 40 In order to permit quick insertion of the snap pin 40, the latter is formed with a lug extension 43 which can be easily inserted through the cross holes 41 and hole 14 and provide a means of pulling the snap pin into position.
  • This form of coupling is specially advantageous in that it allows very quick mounting of the gas spring on the bracket 20 without using any special tools.
  • the rod 12 can be introduced into a sleeve 50, preferably made of rubber, which would then cover the rod 12 and fit on the lower end of the cylindrical body 11.
  • the sleeve 50 has at its other end a cross bushing 51 for coupling to a pin 52 .formed with a cutout 53 for connection to the rod 12.
  • the bushing 51 includes an engagement element 54 made; integral with the bushing itself and adapted for insertion into the cutout 53 to thereby prevent the pin 52 from sliding out of the bushing 51.
  • the pin .52 with its end projecting out of the bashing 51, is received rotatably in a sleeve 55 defined by the rear latching body 2 at a location away from the oscillation axis of the rod-like element 1, and allowed to rotate about a parallel axis to said oscillation axis of the rod-like element 1.
  • bracket 20 engaging with its legs the cylindrical body 11 of the gas spring 10 affords an elastic slack in the gas spring to bracket fit, which is also contributed by the snap pin, thereby it becomes possible to obtain elastically and without any efforts whatever relative position is sought between the gas spring and rod-like element, in view of that changes in the relative positions are achieved by the rod-like element and gas spring being journalled on the rear latching body at two points apart from each other.
  • the invention fully achieves its objects, and in particular that the peculiar connection provided, additionally to permitting easy replacement of the gas spring, also allows elastic take-up of any slack between the gas spring and rod-like element by utilizing the inherent elasticity of the legs 21 of the bracket 20.
  • the material used if compatible with the intended use, and the dimensions and contingent shapes, may be any suitable ones to meet individual requirements.
