Abstract

In a ski brake with brake arms (12) and actuating arms (14) a pedal (16) is mounted to the actuating arms (14) about a second transverse axis (15). A linkage arrangement (17) is provided approximately parallel to the actuating arms (14) and is pivotally connected to the pedal (16) about a third transverse axis (18) and to the ski about a fourth transverse axis (19). The fact that the spacing of the second transverse axis (15) from the third transverse axis (18) is somewhat smaller than the spacing between the first transverse axis (13) and the fourth transverse axis (19) means that the pedal (16) can execute a small counter-pivotal movement on transfer of the ski brake from the braking position into the rest position.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Skibremse nach dem Oberbegriff des Patentanspruchs 1.The invention relates to a ski brake according to the preamble of claim 1.

Bei einer derartigen bekannten Skibremse (CH-PS 669 735) beaufschlagt die Sohle des Skistiefels das Pedal in dessen vorderen Bereich, was insbesondere dann nachteilig ist, wenn dadurch das Pedal in die Vertiefung der Skistiefelsohle eintritt, die im allgemeinen vor dem Skistiefelabsatz vorgesehen ist. Da beim Niedertreten des Pedals letzteres außer der Bewegung zum Ski hin auch eine Bewegung nach vorn ausführt, bleibt das Pedal auch in der Ruhelage der Skibremse in der Schuhvertiefung, wodurch eine nur unvollkommene Überführung der Skibremse in ihre Ruhelage erzielt wird.In such a known ski brake (CH-PS 669 735) the sole of the ski boot presses the pedal in the front area thereof, which is particularly disadvantageous if the pedal thereby enters the depression of the ski boot sole, which is generally provided in front of the ski boot heel. Since the latter also performs a forward movement when the pedal is depressed in addition to the movement towards the ski, the pedal remains in the boot recess even when the ski brake is at rest, which results in an imperfect transfer of the ski brake to its rest position.

Das Ziel der Erfindung besteht somit darin, eine Skibremse der eingangs genannten Gattung zu schaffen, bei der in der Ruhelage eine vollständige und sichere Überführung in die vollständig entbremste Stellung gewährleistet ist.The aim of the invention is therefore to provide a ski brake of the type mentioned, in which a complete and safe transfer to the fully braked position is ensured in the rest position.

Zur Lösung dieser Aufgabe sind die Merkmale des kennzeichnenden Teils des Patentanspruchs 1 vorgesehen, wobei von beson derem Vorteil die Ausbildung nach Anspruch 6 oder 7 ist.To achieve this object, the features of the characterizing part of claim 1 are provided, the training according to claim 6 or 7 being of particular advantage.

Aufgrund der erfindungsgemäßen Ausbildung kann das Pedal in der Bremsstellung so entgegen der Ausschwenkrichtung der Betätigungsarmanordnung gekippt werden, daß der hintere Bereich des Pedals die höchste Position oberhalb der Skioberfläche einnimmt, wodurch der Skistiefelabsatz beim Einstellen des Skistiefels in die mit der Skibremse zusammenarbeitende Skibindung zuerst mit dem hinteren Bereich oder sogar dem hinteren Ende des Pedals in Kontakt kommt, welches sich in einem deutlichen Abstand von der erwähnten Vertiefung im Bereich der Unterfläche des Skistiefelabsatzes befindet. Beim Niedertreten des Pedals führt dieses eine Schwenkbewegung entgegengesetzt der Schwenkrichtung der Skibremse selbst aus, so daß es sich bis zum Erreichen der Ruhelage flacher stellt, wobei jedoch der Kontakt mit dem Skistiefelabsatz erhalten bleibt, so daß bei Erreichen der Ruhelage eine vollständige Entbremsung erfolgt, d.h., die Bremsarme sich sicher oberhalb der Skioberfläche befinden.Because of the design according to the invention, the pedal can be tilted in the braking position against the pivoting direction of the actuating arm arrangement in such a way that the rear region of the pedal occupies the highest position above the ski surface, as a result of which the ski boot heel is adjusted of the ski boot in the ski binding cooperating with the ski brake first comes into contact with the rear area or even the rear end of the pedal, which is located at a clear distance from the aforementioned depression in the area of the lower surface of the ski boot heel. When the pedal is depressed, it performs a swiveling movement opposite to the swiveling direction of the ski brake itself, so that it is flatter until the rest position is reached, but contact with the ski boot heel is retained, so that when the rest position is reached, complete braking takes place, ie , the brake arms are safely above the ski surface.

Ein wesentlicher Gesichtspunkt ist also, daß das Pedal, das in der Ruhelage flach auf der Skioberfläche aufliegt, in der ausgestellten Bremsposition derart verkippt ist, daß sein hinteres Ende einen größeren Abstand von der Skioberfläche aufweist als der vordere Bereich. Da demnach das Pedal beim Hinuntertreten außer der Annäherung an den Ski auch noch eine Schwenkbewegung ausführt, ist auch die vom Skistiefelabsatz auf das Pedal ausgeübte Niedertretkraft etwas geringer als die Federkraft, die dem Hinunterschwenken der Betätigungsarmanordnung entgegenwirkt.An important aspect is therefore that the pedal, which lies flat on the ski surface in the rest position, is tilted in the extended braking position in such a way that its rear end is at a greater distance from the ski surface than the front region. Accordingly, since the pedal also performs a swiveling movement when stepping down, in addition to the approach to the ski, the depression force exerted on the pedal by the ski boot heel is also somewhat less than the spring force which counteracts the swiveling down of the actuating arm arrangement.

Erfindungsgemäß erfolgt also beim Niedertreten des Pedals eine Bewegung desselben im wesentlichen parallel zum Ski, wobei diese Bewegung jedoch von einer geringfügigen Schwenkbewegung entgegen derjenigen der Betätigungsarmanordnung überlagert ist. Es wird so der Stiefel beim Einführen in die Bindung auch besser geführt.According to the invention, when the pedal is depressed, it is moved essentially parallel to the ski, but this movement is overlaid by a slight pivoting movement opposite to that of the actuating arm arrangement. The boot is also better guided when it is inserted into the binding.

Die Bremsarme und die Betätigungsarmanordnung sowie die Ausstellfeder können in bekannter Weise z.B. gemäß der DE-PS-25 54 110 ausgebildet sein. Die Lenkerarme sind zweckmäßigerweise in seitlicher Richtung so zu den Betätigungsarmen versetzt, daß die Lenker- und die Betätigungsarme sich beim Bewegungsablauf nicht behindern.The brake arms and the actuating arm arrangement and the extension spring can be designed in a known manner, for example according to DE-PS-25 54 110. The handlebar arms are expediently so in a lateral direction to the actuating arms offset that the handlebar and the actuating arms do not interfere with the movement.

Nach Fig. 1 ist unmittelbar vor einer nicht dargestellten und auf einem Ski 11 befestigten Fersenbindung die Betätigungsarmanordnung 14 einer Skibremse um eine Querachse 13 schwenkbar auf dem Ski 11 angebracht. Von der Drehachse 13 ertrecken sie beidseits des Ski 11 die Bremsarme 12 bis in eine Position deutlich unterhalb der Lauffläche des Ski 11. Bei der Betätigungsarmanordnung 14 handelt es sich vorzugsweise um einen Drahtbügel, wie er z.B. in der DE-PS-25 54 110 gezeigt ist. Von dem von der Querachse 13 abgewandten Ende der Betätigungsanordnung 14 erstreckt sich ein Federelement 21 bis zur Oberfläche des Ski 11, wo es bei 23 abgestützt ist. Das Federelement 21 ist in der aus Fig. 1 ersichtlichen Weise etwas aus der Ebene der Betätigungsarmanordnung 14 nach unten herausgebogen, so daß beim Verschwenken der Betätigungsarmanordnung 14 in Richtung des Pfeiles das Federelement 21 in die Ebene der Betätigungsarmanordnung 14 hineingedrückt wird, wobei eine Rück- oder Ausstellfederkraft erzeugt wird, die die Betätigungsarmanordnung 14 in die aus Fig. 1 ersichtliche Bremsstellung auszuschwenken sucht.According to FIG. 1, the actuating arm arrangement 14 of a ski brake is mounted on the ski 11 so that it can pivot about a transverse axis 13 directly in front of a heel binding which is not shown and is fastened on a ski 11. On both sides of the ski 11, they extend the brake arms 12 from the axis of rotation 13 to a position clearly below the running surface of the ski 11. The actuating arm arrangement 14 is preferably a wire bracket, as shown, for example, in DE-PS-25 54 110 is. A spring element 21 extends from the end of the actuation arrangement 14 facing away from the transverse axis 13 to the surface of the ski 11, where it is supported at 23. The spring element 21 is bent somewhat out of the plane of the actuating arm arrangement 14 in the manner shown in FIG. 1, so that when the actuating arm arrangement 14 is pivoted in the direction of the arrow, the spring element 21 is pressed into the plane of the actuating arm arrangement 14, a rear or extension spring force is generated that the actuator arm assembly 14 in the brake position shown in Fig. 1 tries to swing out.

Am von der Querachse 13 abgewandten Ende der Betätigungsarmanordnung 14 ist um eine zweite Querachse 15 ein Pedal 16 schwenkbar angebracht. In einem Abstand vor der zweiten Querachse 15 befindet sich am Pedal 16 eine dritte Querachse 18, an die eine Lenkeranordnung 17 gelenkig angeschlossen ist, die in einem Abstand vor der ersten Querachse 13 um eine vierte Querachse 19 schwenkbar am Ski 11 befestigt ist. Bei der Lenkeranordnung 17 kann es sich um zwei parallel zueinander und in einem Abstand in Querrichtung angeordnete Einzellenker handeln. Entsprechend besteht die Betätigungsarmanordnung 14 aus zwei parallelen, seitlich beabstandeten Stangen oder Drähten, die oben durch ein Querstück verbunden sind, von dem das stangen- oder bügelförmige Federelement 21 ausgeht.At the end of the actuating arm arrangement 14 facing away from the transverse axis 13, a pedal 16 is pivotably mounted about a second transverse axis 15. At a distance in front of the second transverse axis 15 there is a third transverse axis 18 on the pedal 16, to which a link arrangement 17 is connected in an articulated manner and which is fastened to the ski 11 so as to be pivotable about a fourth transverse axis 19 at a distance in front of the first transverse axis 13. The link arrangement 17 can be two individual links arranged parallel to one another and at a distance in the transverse direction. Accordingly, the actuating arm arrangement 14 consists of two parallel, laterally spaced rods or wires, which are connected at the top by a crosspiece from which the rod-shaped or bow-shaped spring element 21 extends.

Erfindungsgemäß ist der Abstand der zweiten Querachse 15 und der dritten Querachse 18 etwas geringer als der der ersten Querachse 13 und der vierten Querachse 19. Damit in der Ruhelage der Bremse (Fig. 3) die Querachsen 13, 15, 18, 19 im wesentlichen in Skilängsrichtung miteinander ausgerichtet sein können, sollte der Abstand der dritten Querachse 18 von der vierten Querachse 19 entsprechend etwas kleiner sein als der Abstand der zweiten Querachse 15 von der ersten Querachse 13.According to the invention, the distance between the second transverse axis 15 and the third transverse axis 18 is somewhat less than that of the first transverse axis 13 and the fourth transverse axis 19. Thus, in the rest position of the brake (FIG. 3), the transverse axes 13, 15, 18, 19 are essentially in Longitudinal direction of the ski can be aligned with each other, the distance of the third transverse axis 18 from the fourth transverse axis 19 should be somewhat smaller than the distance of the second transverse axis 15 from the first transverse axis 13.

Weiter soll das Pedal, das vorzugsweise eine im wesentlichen ebene Oberfläche 16' aufweist, in der aus Fig. 1 ersichtlichen Bremsstellung etwas schräg nach hinten und oben ansteigen und sich soweit nach hinten erstrecken, daß beim Einsetzen eines Skistiefels in die nicht dargestellte Bindung der Skistiefelabsatz 20 mit dem hinteren Ende des Pedals 16 in Eingriff kommt. Auf diese Weise wird verhindert, daß das Pedal 16 in die im allgemeinen vor dem Skistiefelabsatz 20 im Ballenbereich vorgesehene Vertiefung 22 eindringt, was zum einen zu einer Behinderung des Skistiefels beim Einsetzen in die Bindung und weiter dazu führen könnte, daß die Skibremse beim Niedertreten des Pedals 16 nicht vollständig in die entbremste Position überführt wird.Furthermore, the pedal, which preferably has a substantially flat surface 16 ', should rise somewhat obliquely backwards and upwards in the braking position shown in FIG. 1 and should extend so far to the rear that the ski boot heel is inserted into the binding (not shown) when a ski boot is inserted 20 comes into engagement with the rear end of the pedal 16. This prevents the pedal 16 penetrates into the recess 22 generally provided in front of the ski boot heel 20 in the ball area, which on the one hand could lead to a hindrance of the ski boot when it is inserted into the binding and, furthermore, that the ski brake does not completely transfer to the decelerated position when the pedal 16 is depressed becomes.

Die vorerwähnte Abstandsdifferenz zwischen den Querachsen 15, 18 einerseits und 13, 19 andererseits ist nun derart zu bemessen, daß das Pedal 16 ausgehend von der etwas nach hinten ansteigenden Position nach Fig. 1 beim Hinuntertreten eine Schwenkbewegung im Uhrzeigersinn vollzieht, so daß es schließlich in der entbremsten Ruhelage nach Fig. 3 zumindest im wesentlichen parallel zur Skioberfläche liegt. Während der Winkel der ebenen Oberfläche des Pedals 16 bei der Bremsposition nach Fig. 1 etwa 16° beträgt, ist er in der Zwischenlage nach Fig. 2 auf etwa 13° und in der Ruhelage nach Fig. 3 auf ca 3° reduziert.The aforementioned difference in distance between the transverse axes 15, 18 on the one hand and 13, 19 on the other hand is now to be dimensioned such that the pedal 16, starting from the slightly rearward increasing position according to FIG. 1, pivots clockwise when it is stepped down, so that it finally moves in 3 is at least substantially parallel to the ski surface. While the angle of the flat surface of the pedal 16 is approximately 16 ° in the braking position according to FIG. 1, it is reduced to approximately 13 ° in the intermediate position according to FIG. 2 and to approximately 3 ° in the rest position according to FIG. 3.

Diese Ausbildung führt auch dazu, daß der Skistiefelabsatz 20 das Pedal 16 an seinem hintersten Ende gemäß Fig. 1, d.h. in einem maximalen Abstand von den Querachsen 15 bzw. 18 erfaßt, was kräftemäßig besonders günstig ist. Erst in der Ruhelage nach Fig. 3 liegt der Absatz 20 praktisch flach auf der Oberfläche des Pedals 16 auf, und zwar im wesentlichen nur in dessen hinteren Bereich.This design also means that the ski boot heel 20 has the pedal 16 at its rearmost end as shown in Fig. 1, i.e. detected at a maximum distance from the transverse axes 15 and 18, which is particularly favorable in terms of strength. Only in the rest position according to FIG. 3 does the shoulder 20 lie practically flat on the surface of the pedal 16, essentially only in the rear area thereof.

Die Funktion der erfindungsgemäßen Skibremse ist wie folgt:
Wird in der Bremsstellung nach Fig. 1 der Skistiefel in der dort veranschaulichten Weise auf das Pedal 16 aufgesetzt, und wird dann eine nach unten gerichtete Kraft auf das Pedal 16 ausgeübt, so werden die Betätigungsarmanordnung 14 und die Lenkeranordnung 17 unter Zusammendrückung des Federelementes 21 entgegen dem Uhrzeigersinn verschwenkt, während andererseits das Pedal 16 relativ zum Ski 11 entgegengesetzt, d.h. im Uhrzeigersinn geringfügig verschwenkt wird. Eine Zwischenposition ist in Fig. 2 dargestellt.
The function of the ski brake according to the invention is as follows:
If the ski boot is placed on the pedal 16 in the manner illustrated there in the braking position according to FIG. 1 and a downward force is then exerted on the pedal 16, the actuating arm arrangement 14 and the handlebar arrangement 17 are opposed by compression of the spring element 21 panned clockwise while on the other hand, the pedal 16 is opposed relative to the ski 11, ie is pivoted slightly in the clockwise direction. An intermediate position is shown in Fig. 2.

In der Ruhelage nach Fig. 3 nimmt das Pedal 16 eine Lage ein, die parallel zur Unterfläche der Skistiefelsohle verläuft, so daß das Pedal nur minimal von der Oberfläche des Ski 11 vorsteht und so die Anordnung des Skistiefels innerhalb der nicht gezeigten Bindung auf dem Ski nicht behindert.3, the pedal 16 assumes a position which runs parallel to the lower surface of the ski boot sole, so that the pedal protrudes only minimally from the surface of the ski 11 and thus the arrangement of the ski boot within the binding, not shown, on the ski not disabled.

Wird der Skistiefel beispielsweise im Falle eines Sturzes aus der Skibindung herausbewegt, so stellt das Federelement 21 die Betätigungsarmanordnung 14 mit der Lenkeranordnung 17 sowie die Bremsarme 12 und das Pedal 16 wieder in die aus Fig. 1 entnehmbare Bremsstellung aus.If the ski boot is moved out of the ski binding in the event of a fall, for example, the spring element 21 sets the actuating arm arrangement 14 with the handlebar arrangement 17 as well as the brake arms 12 and the pedal 16 back into the braking position shown in FIG. 1.
