Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf eine Skibindung-Skischuh-Kombination für den Langlauf, gemäß dem Oberbegriff (ersten Teil) des Anspruches 1.The invention relates to a ski binding-ski boot combination for cross-country skiing, according to the preamble (first part) of claim 1.

Eine Skibindung für eine derartige Kombination ist in der EP-A1-95 400 beschrieben (s.die Fig. 1 und 2). Bei dieser Skibindung sind Lagerbock und Aufnahmeteil zwei getrennte Bauelemente, nämlich ein am Ski festgeschraubter Teil und ein an letzterem angelenkter Teil, in dem das Einhakelement lösbar festgelegt wird. Es müssen daher für die Skibindung insgesamt vier Bauteile hergestellt werden.A ski binding for such a combination is described in EP-A1-95 400 (see FIGS. 1 and 2). In this ski binding, the bearing block and the receiving part are two separate components, namely a part screwed to the ski and a part articulated on the latter, in which the hooking element is detachably fixed. A total of four components must therefore be manufactured for the ski binding.

Eine andere Ausführung einer Skibindung dieser Art zeigt die DE-A1-29 42 806. Bei dieser Skibindung wird das Einhakelement des Skischuhs in einem an einer Grundplatte befestigten Unterstütztungselement während des Langlaufens mittels eines Druckelementes festgehalten. Dabei ist das Druckelement im vorderen Bereich des Unterstützungselementes gesondert gelagert. Auch diese Ausführung ist kompliziert in ihrem Aufbau.Another version of a ski binding of this type is shown in DE-A1-29 42 806. With this ski binding, the hooking element of the ski boot is held in a support element attached to a base plate during cross-country skiing by means of a pressure element. The pressure element is mounted separately in the front area of the support element. This design is also complicated in its structure.

Eine weitere Skibindung-Skischuh-Kombination für den Langlauf zeigt die DE-A1-26 33 373. Bei dieser wird eine Sohlenverlängerung in ein skifestes Abstützorgan eingeschoben und in diesem mittels einer Federfestgehatten. Da das Abstützorgan offensichtlich aus Stahlblech besteht und die Sohlenverlängerung formschlüssig aufnimmt, muß letztere aus elastischem Material bestehen, um eine Schreitbewegung des Skiläufers zu ermöglichen. Für das Einführen einer Einhakleiste in Führungsschlitze ist diese Ausbildung der Sohlenverlängerung nicht geeignet.Another ski binding-ski boot combination for cross-country skiing is shown in DE-A1-26 33 373. In this case, a sole extension is inserted into a ski-like support member and held in it by means of a spring-tight device. Since the support member is obviously made of sheet steel and receives the sole extension in a form-fitting manner, the latter must be made of elastic material in order to enable the skier to walk. This design of the sole extension is not suitable for inserting a hooking bar into guide slots.

Die Erfindung stellt sich die Aufgabe, die Nachteile der bekannten Ausführung zu beseitigen und eine Skibindung-Skischuh-Kombination für den Langlauf zu schaffen, die einfach in ihrem Aufbau und in ihrer Herstellung ist und die darüber hinaus ein vertikales Einführen einer Einhakleiste in Führungen des Aufnahmeteiles möglich macht.The invention has for its object to eliminate the disadvantages of the known design and to create a ski binding-ski boot combination for cross-country skiing, which is simple in its construction and manufacture and which also has a vertical insertion of a hook bar into guides of the receiving part makes possible.

Ausgehend von einer Skibindung-Skischuh-Kombination für den Langlauf gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruches 1 wird diese Aufgabe erfindungsgemäß durch die Merkmale des kennzeichnenden Teiles dieses Anspruches gelöst. Durch diese Merkmale wird eine erhebliche Vereinfachung des Aufbaues der Skibindung dieser Kombination gegenüber den bekannten Ausführungen herbeigeführt.Starting from a ski binding-ski boot combination for cross-country skiing according to the preamble of claim 1, this object is achieved according to the invention by the features of the characterizing part of this claim. These features result in a considerable simplification of the structure of the ski binding of this combination compared to the known designs.

Für die Ausgestaltung des Verriegelungselementes bieten sich verschiedene Möglichkeiten an, von denen eine im Anspruch 2 unter Schutz gestelltwird. Diese Lösung hat den Vorteil, daß auf ein besonderes Gelenk für das Verriegelungselement verzichtet werden kann, wodurch sich der Aufbau der Skibindung vereinfacht. In diese Richtung zielt auch die Maßnahme des Anspruches 3.There are various possibilities for the design of the locking element, one of which is protected in claim 2. This solution has the advantage that a special joint for the locking element can be dispensed with, which simplifies the construction of the ski binding. The measure of claim 3 also aims in this direction.

Schließlich macht es die im Anspruch 4 angegebene Lösung eines Verriegelungselementes möglich, eine Verriegelung der Spitze des Skischuhs in Abhängigkeit von der Einsteigbewegung desselben herbeizuführen.Finally, the solution of a locking element specified in claim 4 makes it possible to lock the tip of the ski boot as a function of its entry movement.

An sich ist der Gedanke, Skibindungen für den Langlauf mit einem Verriegelungselement auszustatten, das am Lagerbock gelagert ist und einen unter die Schuhsohle greifenden Sporn aufweist, bereits bekannt, wie die eingangs genannte EP-A1-95 400 zeigt. Doch verläuft bei dieser Ausführung die Fläche, welche die Ausnehmung zum Einsatz der Skistockspitze enthält, unter einem sehr steilen Winkel zur Skioberseite, was das Aussteigen aus der Bindung mühsam macht.In itself, the idea of equipping ski bindings for cross-country skiing with a locking element which is mounted on the bearing block and has a spur reaching under the sole of the shoe is already known, as the EP-A1-95 400 mentioned at the beginning shows. In this version, however, the surface that contains the recess for inserting the ski pole tip runs at a very steep angle to the top of the ski, which makes it difficult to get out of the binding.

In der Zeichnung sind zwei beispielsweise Ausführungsformen von erfindungsgemäßen Skibindungen rein schematisch dargestellt. Fig. 1 ist ein Schnitt nach der Linie I-I in Fig. 2 durch die in Fahrtstellunhg befindliche Skibindung gemäß dem ersten Ausführungsbeispiel und Fig. 2 eine Draufsicht auf diese Bindung. Fig. 3 ist eine Vorderansicht des Einhakelementes. In Fig. 4 ist eine zweite Ausführungsform der erfindungsgemäßen Skibindung im vertikalen Längsmittelschnitt in größerem Maßstab wiedergegeben.In the drawing, two exemplary embodiments of ski bindings according to the invention are shown purely schematically. Fig. 1 is a section along the line I-I in Fig. 2 through the ski binding in the driving position according to the first embodiment and Fig. 2 is a plan view of this binding. Fig. 3 is a front view of the hooking element. 4 shows a second embodiment of the ski binding according to the invention in a vertical longitudinal central section on a larger scale.

In Fig. 1-3 ist der Ski mit der Ziffer 1 bezeichnet. Ein Skischuh 2 weist eine Sohle 2a und eine Spitze 2b auf, wobei an letztere ein Einhakelement 3 angesetzt ist. Die Skibindung selbst besteht aus zwei Teilen, nämlich aus einem Lagerbock 4 mit einem Aufnahmeteil für das Einhakelement 3 und aus einem Verriegelungselement 5.In Fig. 1-3 the ski is labeled with the number 1. A ski boot 2 has a sole 2a and a tip 2b, a hooking element 3 being attached to the latter. The ski binding itself consists of two parts, namely a bearing block 4 with a receiving part for the hooking element 3 and a locking element 5.

Das Einhakelement ist in Seitenansicht etwa 0- förmig ausgebildet. Die Einhakleiste 3a dieses Elementes 3 verläuft in der Normalstellung zumindest angenähert senkrecht auf die Oberseite des Ski 1. Der untere Steg 3b des Einhakelementes 3 besteht aus elastischem Material, wie Gummi, Kunststoff od.dgl., und ist mit der Schuhsohle 2a verbunden. Weiters ist das Einhakelement 3 durch einen oberen Steg 3d, der ebenfalls aus elastischem Material besteht, an die Schuhspitze 2b angeschlossen.The hooking element is approximately 0-shaped in side view. The hooking bar 3a of this element 3 extends at least approximately perpendicularly to the top of the ski 1 in the normal position. The lower web 3b of the hooking element 3 consists of elastic material, such as rubber, plastic or the like, and is connected to the shoe sole 2a. Furthermore, the hooking element 3 is connected to the toe 2b by an upper web 3d, which is also made of elastic material.

Der Lagerbock 4 ist an der Oberseite des Ski 1 angeschraubt. Er besitzt einen der Skispitze zugewendeten Abschnitt 4a, der zur Abstützung einer Druckfeder 6 dient, deren anderes Ende am Steg 5b des in Seitenansicht Z-förmigen Verriegelungselementes 5 anliegt, und einen der Schuhspitze 2b benachbarten Abschnitt 4b, welcher von der Oberseite des Ski 1 einen Abstand aufweist. In dem Zwischenraum zwischen der Oberseite des Ski 1 und dem Abschnitt4b ist der andere Schenkel 5a des Verriegelungselementes 5 angeordnet. Der Aufnahmeteil des Lagerbockes 4 besitzt zwei Seitenwände 4ci, 4c2, welche zur Schuhspitze 2b hin divergieren und welche an ihren Innenseiten Führungsleisten 4d" 4d2 für die Einhakleiste 3a tragen. Da, wie bereits ausgeführt wurde, die beiden Stege 3b und 3d des Einhakelementes 3 aus elastischem Material bestehen, kann die Schuhspitze 2b und mit ihr der Skischuh 2 innerhalb eines vorgegebenen Winkels gegenüber dem Ski 1 verschwenkt werden.The bearing block 4 is screwed onto the top of the ski 1. It has a section 4a facing the ski tip, which is used to support a compression spring 6, the other end of which rests on the web 5b of the locking element 5 which is Z-shaped in side view, and a section 4b adjacent to the shoe tip 2b, which is one of the top of the ski 1 Distance. The other leg 5a of the locking element 5 is arranged in the space between the top of the ski 1 and the section 4b. The receiving part of the bearing block 4 has two side walls 4c i , 4c 2 , which diverge towards the toe 2b and which carry guide strips 4d "4d 2 on the inside for the hooking strip 3a. Since, as already stated, the two webs 3b and 3d des Hook element 3 consist of elastic material, the toe 2b and with it the ski boot 2 can be pivoted within a predetermined angle with respect to the ski 1.

Auch das Verriegelungselement 5 ist aus elastischem Material, beispielsweise aus Stahlblech oder aus Kunststoff gefertigt. Es ist, wie bereits dargelegt wurde, in Seitenansicht Z-förmig ausgebildet, wobei der eine Schenkel 5a zwischen dem Abschnitt 4b des Lagerbockes 4 und der Oberseite des Ski 1 eingespannt ist. Der Steg 5b des Z trägt zwei Rastnasen 5c, welche zum Eintritt in entsprechende, in Ansicht rechteckige Ausnehmungen 3c in der Einhakleiste 3a des Einhakelementes 3 bestimmt sind. Im Bereich der Verbindungsstelle des unteren Schenkels 5a und des Steges 5b kann das Verriegelungselement 5 elastisch gebogen werden. Des weiteren unterliegt der Steg 5b des Verriegelungselementes 5 außer dem Einfluß seiner Eigenelastizität auch dem Einfluß der bereits erwähnten Druckfeder 6. Der Steg 5b ist durch Seitenwände 5f versteift, die gleichzeitig eine Führung für die Druckfeder 6 bilden. An das Ende des Steges 5b ist ein als Öffnungstaste ausgebildeter Ansatz 5d angesetzt, aus dem eine Mulde 5e ausgeprägt ist. Diese Mulde 5e dient zum Einsetzen der Spitze eine Skistockes zwecks Öffnen der Skibindung.The locking element 5 is also made of elastic material, for example sheet steel or plastic. As already explained, it is Z-shaped in a side view, the one leg 5a between the Section 4b of the bearing block 4 and the top of the ski 1 is clamped. The web 5b of the Z carries two locking lugs 5c, which are intended for entry into corresponding recesses 3c, which are rectangular in view, in the hooking bar 3a of the hooking element 3. In the area of the connection point of the lower leg 5a and the web 5b, the locking element 5 can be bent elastically. Furthermore, the web 5b of the locking element 5 is subject to the influence of the compression spring 6 already mentioned, in addition to the influence of its own elasticity. The web 5b is stiffened by side walls 5f, which at the same time form a guide for the compression spring 6. At the end of the web 5b there is an extension 5d designed as an opening button, from which a depression 5e is formed. This trough 5e serves to insert the tip of a ski pole in order to open the ski binding.

In der Gleitstellung nimmt die Skibindung die in Fig. 1 dargestellte Lage ein. Die Einhakleiste 3a des Einhakelementes 3 wird durch die Rastnasen 5c des Verriegelungselementes 5 gegenüber dem Ski 1 festgehalten.In the sliding position, the ski binding assumes the position shown in FIG. 1. The hooking bar 3a of the hooking element 3 is held by the locking lugs 5c of the locking element 5 with respect to the ski 1.

Wird nun vom Skiläufer ein Langlaufschritt durchgeführt, so wird die Schuhspitze 2b und mit ihr der Skischuh 2 entgegen dem Uhrzeigersinn verschwenkt. Die Einhakleiste 3a wird durch die Führungsleisten 4di, 4d2 des Aufnahmeteiles im Lagerbock 4 mit Hilfe der Rastnasen 5c des Verriegelungselementes 5 gehalten. Die beiden Stege 3b und 3d des Einhakelementes 3 werden durch das Schwenken des Fußes entgegen dem Uhrzeigersinn in Fig. 1 elastisch verformt. Das Verschwenken des Schuhs 2 kann bis zur Anlage der Schuhspitze 2b an den hinteren Führungsleisten 4d" 4d2, erfolgen. Nach Beendigung des Langlaufschrittes kehrt der Skischuh 2 wieder in die in Fig. 1 dargestellte Lage zurück.If a cross-country skiing step is now carried out by the skier, the toe 2b and with it the ski boot 2 are pivoted counterclockwise. The hooking bar 3a is held by the guide bars 4d i , 4d 2 of the receiving part in the bearing block 4 with the aid of the locking lugs 5c of the locking element 5. The two webs 3b and 3d of the hooking element 3 are elastically deformed by pivoting the foot counterclockwise in Fig. 1. The boot 2 can be pivoted until the toe 2b bears against the rear guide strips 4d "4d 2. After the cross-country skiing step has been completed, the ski boot 2 returns to the position shown in FIG. 1.

Soll die Skibindung geöffnet werden, so wird die Spitze eines Skistockes in die Mulde 5e des Verriegelungselementes 5 eingesetzt, so daß der Abschnitt 5d und mit ihm der Steg 5b gegen die Kraft der Druckfeder 6 und die Eigeneleastizität des Verriegelungselementes 5 entgegen dem Uhrzeigersinn verschwenkt werden können. Dabei verlassen die beiden Rastnasen 5c die zugehörigen Ausnehmungen 3c in der Einhakleiste 3a des Einhakelementes 3, und der Skischuh kann zusammen mit dem Einhakelement 3 nach oben vom Lagerbock 4 entfernt werden.If the ski binding is to be opened, the tip of a ski pole is inserted into the recess 5e of the locking element 5, so that the section 5d and with it the web 5b can be pivoted counterclockwise against the force of the compression spring 6 and the inherent elasticity of the locking element 5 . The two locking lugs 5c leave the associated recesses 3c in the hooking bar 3a of the hooking element 3, and the ski boot can be removed together with the hooking element 3 from the bearing block 4 upwards.

Beim Wiedereinstieg wird die Einhakleiste 3a in vertikaler Richtung zwischen die hinteren Führungsleisten 4d" 4d2 und den Steg 5b des Verriegelungselementes 5 eingeführt. Dabei wird der Steg 5b gegen die Kraft der Druckfeder 6 und die Eigenelastizität des Verriegelungselementes 5 etwas zurückgedrückt, bis die beiden Rastnasen 5c in den zugeordneten Ausnehmungen 3c der Einhakleiste 3a des Einhakelementes 3 einrasten. Die Fahrtstlellung der Skibindung ist dadurch wieder hergestellt.When re-entering the hooking bar 3a is inserted in the vertical direction between the rear guide bars 4d "4d 2 and the web 5b of the locking element 5. The web 5b is pressed back somewhat against the force of the compression spring 6 and the inherent elasticity of the locking element 5 until the two locking lugs 5c snap into the assigned recesses 3c of the hooking bar 3a of the hooking element 3. The position of the ski binding is thus restored.

Beim Ausführungsbeispiel gemäß Fig. 4 ist der Ski mit 1' und der Schuh mit 2' bezeichnet. 2'a ist die Sohle und 2'b die Spitze des Schuhs 2'. Das Einhakelement 3' ist in Seitenansicht etwa O-förmig, wobei die Einhakleiste 3'a über den unteren Steg 3'b an die Schuhsohle 2'a und über den oberen Steg 3'd an die Schuhspitze 2'b angeschlossen ist.In the exemplary embodiment according to FIG. 4, the ski is denoted by 1 'and the boot by 2'. 2'a is the sole and 2'b is the tip of the shoe 2 '. The hooking element 3 'is approximately O-shaped in a side view, the hooking bar 3'a being connected to the shoe sole 2'a via the lower web 3'b and to the toe 2'b via the upper web 3'd.

Der Lagerbock 4' ist mittels nicht dargestellter Schrauben an der Oberseite des Ski 1' angeschraubt und in Draufsicht etwa gabelförmig ausgebildet. In einer Bohrung des Lagerbockes 4' ist eine Druckfeder 6' verankert, deren anderes Ende an einem Schenkel 5'a des Verriegelungselementes 5' anliegt. Letzteres ist auf einer Achse 7 im Lagerbock 4' schwenkbar gelagert. Der Aufnahmeteil des Lagerbockes 4' besitzt zwei Seitenwände 4'c, welche an ihrer Innenseite Führungsleisten 4'd für die Einhakleiste 3'a tragen.The bearing block 4 'is screwed to the top of the ski 1' by means of screws (not shown) and is approximately fork-shaped in plan view. A compression spring 6 'is anchored in a bore of the bearing block 4', the other end of which rests on a leg 5'a of the locking element 5 '. The latter is pivotally mounted on an axis 7 in the bearing block 4 '. The receiving part of the bearing block 4 'has two side walls 4'c, which carry guide strips 4'd for the hooking strip 3'a on their inside.

Beim dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel ist das Verriegelungselement 5' als dreiarmiger Hebel ausgebildet, von dem der eine Schenkel 5'a, wie bereits dargelegt wurde, zum Angriff der Druckfeder 6 bzw. zum Lösen dient und eine Mulde 5'e aufweist, die zum Einsetzen der Spitze des Skistockes bestimmt ist, der zweite Schenkel 5'b die Rastnase 5'c trägt und der dritte Schenkel 5'g als Sporn ausgebildet ist, welcher die Schuhsohle 2'a untergreift.In the illustrated embodiment, the locking element 5 'is designed as a three-armed lever, of which one leg 5'a, as already explained, serves to engage the compression spring 6 or to release it and has a depression 5'e which is used to insert the tip of the ski pole is determined, the second leg 5'b carries the latching nose 5'c and the third leg 5'g is designed as a spur which engages under the shoe sole 2'a.

Die Verwendung dieser Skibindung entspricht im wesentlichen der des ersten Ausführungsbeispieles. Sie unterscheidet sich von dieser lediglich dadurch, daß beim Einsteigen das Verriegelungselement 5' durch die Schuhsohle 2'a in die Verriegelungsstellung gedrückt wird und daß beim Aussteigen die Schuhsohle 2'a durch den Sporn 5'g angehoben wird. Es wird daher sowohl der Einsteig- als auch der Aussteigvorgang erleichtert.The use of this ski binding essentially corresponds to that of the first exemplary embodiment. It differs from this only in that the locking element 5 'is pressed into the locking position by the shoe sole 2'a when getting in and that the shoe sole 2'a is raised by the spur 5'g when getting out. Both the boarding and alighting process is therefore made easier.

Selbstverständlich ist die Erfindung keineswegs an die in der Zeichnung dargestellten und im vorstehenden beschriebenen Ausführungsbeispiele gebunden. Vielmehr sind verschiedene Abänderungen derselben möglich, ohne den Rahmen der Erfindung zu verlassen. Beispielsweise könnte anstelle einer Druckfeder ein Gummiblock am Lagerbock und am Verriegelungselement durch Vulkanisieren befestigt sein, welcher die gleiche Funktion wie die Druckfeder ausübt. Außerdem kann bei entsprechender Eigenelastizität des Verriegelungselementes auf die Verwendung einer gesonderten Druckfeder verzichtet werden.Of course, the invention is by no means bound to the exemplary embodiments shown in the drawing and described above. Rather, different modifications of the same are possible without leaving the scope of the invention. For example, instead of a compression spring, a rubber block could be attached to the bearing block and the locking element by vulcanization, which has the same function as the compression spring. In addition, with a corresponding inherent elasticity of the locking element, the use of a separate compression spring can be omitted.

Die erfindungsgemäße Skibindung kann nicht nur beim Langlauf, sondern auch beim sogenannten Tourengehen Verwendung finden. Allerdings ist für diesen Fall keine Sicherheitsauslösung gewährleistet.The ski binding according to the invention can be used not only in cross-country skiing, but also in so-called touring. However, no safety trigger is guaranteed in this case.
