Definitions

  • the invention relates to a set of two retaining elements provided for retaining the boots of a skier on a pair of gliding boards, in particular on a pair of skis.
  • the invention also relates to a set of two retaining elements associated with a set of two right and left boots for each of a skier's feet.
  • the stiffness of the spring is adjustable, so that the shoe is released from the fastening element for a stress exceeding a determined stress threshold.
  • This threshold is commonly referred to as the trigger threshold.
  • the shape of the front and rear toe caps of the shoe has been standardized.
  • the standard in application has the reference ISO 5355.
  • the fastening elements are designed to be compatible with the standardized zones of the shoe and to ensure the release of the shoe at release values determined.
  • a shoe is retained by a fastening or retaining element, the jaw of which is movable at least laterally towards the inside or the outside of the foot.
  • the jaw of the retaining element is intended to trigger, that is to say to release the boot during an excessive torsional stress exerted on the skier's leg.
  • Current bindings have a trigger threshold generally equal inwards and outwards of the foot.
  • fastening elements which have a different triggering threshold according to the direction of tilting of the jaw.
  • Such elements are for example described in French patents FR 1 503 847, 1 503 848, 1 503 849, or also in the German patent application published under the number 18 07 074.
  • the major drawback of this kind of device is that it requires a pairing between the boots and the skis, i.e. the right and left skis must be necessarily identified, and that the skier must above all put on the right ski with his right shoe and the left ski with the left shoe.
  • it is materially possible to reverse the two skis that is to say, to put on the left ski, for example, with the right shoe.
  • the effect of the asymmetry in the release of the binding acts in reverse, without it being possible to remedy it other than by exchanging the two skis.
  • the problem posed by the invention is to improve the operating mode of the existing retaining elements. It consists in particular in providing the retaining elements with an asymmetric trigger threshold, and in improving the operation of such retaining elements with an asymmetric trigger threshold.
  • Each retaining element has a shoe retaining jaw movable laterally, on both sides, towards the inside or outside of the ski, against the return force of a spring.
  • the jaw and the spring are provided to release the shoe beyond a determined triggering threshold.
  • Each retaining element is additionally equipped with an adjustment mechanism, which allows the triggering threshold of the retaining element to be adjusted asymmetrically, according to the direction of movement of the jaw, and an actuator of the adjustment mechanism which is controlled by the other retaining element of the pair.
  • This polarization of the retaining elements occurs at the time of putting on the skis, so that, whatever the direction in which the skier presents his skis, each retaining element will polarize according to its right or left position relative to the other element.
  • the triggering threshold of each of the retaining elements is lower for a release of the boot towards the outside than for a release towards the inside of the retaining element.

  • the jaw At rest, the jaw has a position substantially aligned with the longitudinal axis defined by the ski. In the illustrated case, at rest, the wings 7 and 8 are closed towards the median longitudinal axis which is shown diagrammatically by its trace 11 in FIG. 2.
  • the body 3 of the retaining element houses a spring 12, to which are transmitted the stresses which the shoe exerts on the wings of the jaw, and which, in return, exerts on the wings an elastic restoring force in the direction of their respective rest position.
  • the spring is connected to the jaw by a movement transmission link.
  • connection between the spring and the wings of the jaw comprises a longitudinal rod 13 which is cylindrical.
  • the tie rod is engaged in the turns of the spring. It has at its front end a stop washer 14 against which the front end of the spring bears.

At the birth of this part of smaller diameter, the tie rod has a shoulder 22. On the part of smaller diameter are mounted a ring 24, on the side of the shoulder 22, and a floating rocker 25 on the side of the head 21.

  • the wing 8 is in turn retained by the support wall 18.
  • the rocker 25 no longer directly transmits its pulling movement, it works like a lever, which pivots by pressing on the return 8a. Given the difference in lifting arms, the restoring force that opposes the opening of the wing is multiplied. The opening of the wing 7a is facilitated in this position of the ring 24.
  • the zone 30 is sufficiently set back so that the wing 7 releases the shoe before the rocker 25 reaches the bottom of the zone 30. In this way, the rocker 30 remains in abutment against the return of the wing 8 , and the multiplier effect is maintained.
