Definitions

  • the invention relates to a front ski binding element, which is intended to retain the end of a boot bearing on a ski, and to release this end when it exerts excessive stress on the binding element.
  • the front ski binding elements which are currently known usually comprise a base which is intended to be secured to the ski, a body which is carried by this base, in which is generally housed an elastic return mechanism.
  • the body itself carries a retaining member, which, most often, is constituted by a vertical stop or clamp which retains the end of the shoe vertically, and two lateral wings which retain the end of the shoe laterally. The stresses on the shoe are transmitted to the elastic return device via the retaining member.
  • the invention relates more particularly to those which have a body movable vertically, but not laterally, the body being connected to the base in the front part of the binding.
  • Such a fixing is for example known, from the French patent application published under No. 2,640,516.
  • This fixing has a body movable vertically relative to the base, against the restoring force of an elastic device which is housed inside the body.
  • An elastically deformable zone located in the front part of the fastening element, continuously connects the body to the base.
  • the wings are articulated relative to the body, and they are movable laterally against the restoring force of an energy spring.
  • the means which ensure the vertical return of the body comprise a vertical rod, which is connected to an articulated rocker.
  • the rocker itself has a branch which bears against a piston. It is by means of this piston that the energy spring is stressed by the vertical elevation of the body, or by the lateral opening of the wings.
  • the body is therefore movable vertically in response to a vertical stress on the shoe, against the return force of the spring which is transmitted to it by the rocker and the rod.
  • the elevation of the body allows either an automatic adaptation of the fastening element to the thickness of the sole, or allows to facilitate the release of the boot in the event of a fall towards the rear of the skier.
  • Another object of the invention is to add an elastic means for vertical return of the body which is easily integrated into the fastening element, that is to say a means whose nature and size allow it to 'exercise the desired function, that is to say the recall of the body, without disturbing the operation of the fastener and without requiring significant transformations of the element.
  • One of the aims of the present invention is to provide a fastening element of this type, in which the elastic return of the body, in a vertical direction, is ensured by a device which is simpler and therefore more economical to manufacture.
  • the front ski binding element comprises a base by which the element is assembled to the ski. It also comprises a body movable relative to the base, parallel to the vertical and longitudinal median plane of the ski.
  • the body carries a member for retaining the end of the shoe, which is constituted by a sole clamp connected integrally to the body for a vertical movement, and two lateral wings movable relative to the body against the restoring force d '' an energy device that is housed in the body or base.
  • the body and the base are connected to each other in their anterior parts, so as to allow the body to tilt parallel to the vertical and longitudinal median plane of the ski, in response to a vertical stress of the boot on the clamp -sole.
  • an elastic return means independent of the elastic return device which recalls the wings, connects the rear part of the body to the base, and elastically recalls the rear part of the body in the direction of the base.
  • Figure 1 shows a side view, in section of a fixing element before, according to a non-limiting implementation of the invention.
  • Figure 2 is a sectional view II-II of the device shown in Figure 1.
  • FIG. 3 is a sectional view through a plane III-III of the device of FIG. 1.
  • Figure 4 shows in perspective an elastic return means from the body to the base, according to a non-limiting mode of implementation of the invention.
  • Figure 4a corresponds to an alternative embodiment of this elastic return means.
  • FIG. 5 is an alternative embodiment of the device of FIG. 4.
  • FIG. 6 illustrates an alternative embodiment of the fastening element shown in FIG. 1.
  • Figure 7 illustrates another alternative embodiment of the elastic return means of the body.
  • FIG. 8 shows in perspective the elastic return means of the device shown in FIG. 7.
  • FIGS 1 to 3 show a fastening element 1 which is assembled on a ski 2.
  • the fastening element 1 shown has many characteristics similar to those which have already been described in French patent application No. 2 640 516 au name of the applicant.
  • the fixing element 1 has a base 3 by which the fixing element is assembled to the ski by any suitable means, and for example by screws 4.
  • the base 3 is extended towards the rear by a plate d support 5 on which the front end of the boot rests when skiing. Seen from above, the base 3 has a U shape open towards the rear, which creates a recess 6 in its central part.
  • the fastening element 1 also comprises a body 8, which is connected to the base 3 by an elastically deformable zone 10.
  • This zone 10 continuously connects the body 8 and the base 3, so so that these three elements in fact form only one single piece. In the representation adopted, this zone is located in the front part of the fixing element.
  • a stud 11 In the lower part of the body is a stud 11, preferably provided with a peripheral lining 12.
  • the stud 11 extends vertically in the direction of the base, where it is engaged between the two lateral legs of the U. Laterally , the stud has a dimension which corresponds substantially to the width of the recess 6. The stud 11 guides the body 8 relative to the base 3 during its vertical movements.
  • the elastically deformable zone 10, in cooperation with the stud 11, allows the body 8 to tilt, parallel to the vertical and longitudinal median plane of the ski, that is to say the plane of FIG. 1.
  • this mode of connection between the body and the base is not limiting, any other appropriate means could indeed be suitable, in particular an articulation by means of a transverse axis located between the body and the base, or else the cooperation of shapes in protrusion and relief of the body and the base, which create an axis of rotation of the body relative to the base.
  • a fastening element of this type is for example described in French patent application No. 2,642,656 in the name of the applicant.
  • the body 8 In its rear part, the body 8 carries a retaining member 15.
  • the retaining member is intended to retain the end of the boot bearing on the ski, and therefore, to oppose, the stresses of the boot which have a vertical upward, lateral, or longitudinal forward direction.
  • the retaining member 15 in particular comprises a sole clamp 16, which provides the front toe of the shoe with a horizontal bearing surface ensuring the vertical retention of the latter.
  • the sole clamp 16 is an insert, which is assembled to the body by the cooperation of corresponding shapes and by a pin shown diagrammatically at 17.
  • the retaining member 15 further comprises two lateral retaining wings 20 and 21, which are articulated relative to the body about an approximately vertical axis 22 and 23.
  • the wings have, beyond the axes 22 and 23 , a small arm whose end is supported on a piston 25, this piston being guided inside the body 8 for a displacement in a longitudinal direction.
  • the spring preload can be adjusted in a known manner by means of a screw 27.
  • an elastic return means connects the rear part of the body to the base, to elastically oppose such movements.
  • This elastic return means is independent of the energy means which ensures the elastic return of the lateral wings 20 and 21, that is to say, the spring 26.
  • the vertical elastic return means of the body is a coil spring 30, which is more easily visible in Figure 4.
  • the coil spring 30 is partially housed in the recess 6 of the base 3, and partly in a recess of the body located behind the stud 11.
  • the spring has two symmetrical lateral windings 31 and 32, which are connected to each other by a horizontal and raised central part 33 which, preferably, is offset substantially backwards with respect to the windings 31 and 32
  • This central part 33 is intended to fit into the lower part of a downward extension 34 of the sole clamp 16, which has the shape of a hook 36.
  • this central part 33 is connected to the body by the intermediate of the sole clamp 16 for all vertical movements, in particular those upwards.
  • the dimensions in section of the extension 34 are provided to support at least the maximum restoring force developed by the spring 30.
  • the free ends of the spring 30 are also provided with means for hooking to the base. These means are shown in the form of an end bent laterally towards the outside 37, 38. The ends 37 and 38 are engaged in housings 39, 40 that the base has in its two lateral branches to receive these ends.
  • the base 3 ensures the resumption of the return efforts of the springs that the vertical movements of the body 8 generate.
  • Figure 4a shows an end 37a which is extended by a bent segment extending longitudinally rearward.
  • the housings of the base then have a corresponding shape to receive these doubly bent ends. This distributes over a greater length of the base the forces that the ends of the spring 30 transmit to the base.
  • the return energy of the spring is developed not only by the deformation of the turns, but also by the twisting of the ends 37a.
  • the number of turns of each winding 31 and 32 is not limiting. It is about one and a half turns in the example shown.
  • FIG. 5 shows an alternative embodiment, according to which the spring 40 works in reverse, that is to say in the winding.
  • This spring has windings 41 and 42 in opposite directions to the windings 31 and 32. It also has a central part 43 and free ends 47 and 48 similar to the elements 33, 37 and 38 of the spring 30.
  • FIG. 6 shows another variant according to which the spring 50 has windings the direction of which is similar to that of the spring 30.
  • the central part 53 is largely offset upwards relative to the windings, in order to hook onto the body , in the upper part thereof, in a housing 54 which is located approximately at the height of the horizontal surface of the sole clamp.
  • the boot subjects the front binding element to stresses, in particular to vertical stresses upwards. These stresses are transmitted to the body 8, via the sole clamp, and cause the upward tilting of the body around the elastically deformable zone 10, both against the elastic restoring force, or the elastic restoring moment which is generated by this area, and the elastic restoring force which is developed by the spring 30, 40 or 50. It should also be emphasized that this latter elastic return force is independent of the energy spring 26, and therefore of the adjustment of the spring 26 for the lateral opening movement of the wings.
  • FIG. 7 represents an alternative embodiment of the invention according to which the elastic return means of the body is a spring 60 which works mainly with torsion.
  • the spring 70 is visible in perspective in FIG. 8. It has a horizontal and raised central part 63 which is housed in the hook-shaped lower part 66 of an attached element identical to the sole clamp 16 of FIG. 1.
  • the spring 60 On each side of the central part 63, the spring 60 has a doubly bent part 61, 62, the two parts being symmetrical with respect to each other.
  • Each doubly bent portion 61, 62 has a longitudinal segment 61a, 62a, a torsion segment 61b, 92b oriented transversely and a longitudinal end segment 61c, 62c.
  • the end segments 61c, 62c and part of the torsion segments 61b, 62b are embedded in housings 64 and 65 of the two lateral branches of the base 67.
  • the spring 60 thus connects the body via the hook 66, to the base 3 via the housings 64 and 65.
  • the vertical movements of the body mainly stress the spring 60 to torsion at the level of the transverse torsion segments 61b and 62b.
  • the spring 60 ensures the elastic return of the body in the direction of the base, and the return force that it develops is independent of the return force of the energy spring which recalls the wings.
  • the spring 26 and the piston 25 could be placed and guided in a housing of the base, instead of a housing of the body.
  • the sole clamp could be constituted by the upper part of the retaining wings.
  • the wings being articulated with respect to the body around approximately vertical axes, they transmit directly to the body the vertical forces to which the shoe subjects them.
  • the spring could be replaced by another elastic return means, for example a damping device.
