Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a heel unit for ski bindings.
  • a problem which is frequently observed in ski bindings is the one determined by the accumulation of snow in the region comprised between the heel unit and the rear part of the boot.
  • the accumulation of snow while skiing can also prevent a correct disengagement of the heel unit.
  • the aim of the invention is to solve the above described problems by providing a heel unit for ski bindings having snow drainage means which allow to extremely facilitate the cleaning of the jaw, during the insertion of the boot, and furthermore prevent the accumulation of snow while skiing.
  • a particular object of the invention is to provide a heel unit wherein the presence of the snow drainage means does not affect the operation of the binding and does not create particular constructive complications.
  • Another object of the present invention is to provide a heel unit for ski bindings which, by virtue of its peculiar characteristics of execution, is capable of giving the greatest assurances of reliability and safety in use.
  • Not least object of the present invention is to provide a heel unit which can be easily obtained starting from commonly commercially available elements and materials and is furthermore advantageous from a merely economical point of view.
  • a heel unit for ski bindings comprising a ski coupling body with which a jaw is associated, said jaw being engageable with a rear part of a ski boot, characterized in that it comprises, on a portion of said jaw which is directed toward said ski boot, an opening of at least one channel, defined by said jaw, which leads outside said jaw for the drainage of snow and the like.
  • the heel unit according to the invention which is generally indicated by the reference numeral 1, comprises a coupling body 2 for connection to the ski 3, with which a jaw, generally indicated by the reference numeral 4, is associated; said jaw engages, in a per se known manner, the rear part of a ski boot.
  • the peculiarity of the invention is constituted by the fact that on the portion of jaw 4 which is directed toward the ski boot there are channel openings which are defined by the jaw itself.
  • lateral channels which define lateral openings 11 having a substantially rectangular configuration, which in practice affect the lateral regions of the jaw which are directed toward the ski boot.
  • the openings 11 are connected to lateral channels 12 which are defined directly in the body of the jaw and lead onto the lateral surface 13 of the heel unit.
  • central opening 15 which has a mainly horizontal arrangement, i.e. substantially parallel to the plane of arrangement of the ski, and is connected to a central channel 16 which leads onto the upper central portion 17 of the jaw.
  • the materials employed may be any according to the requirements.
