Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a support device for a ski boot on a ski and more particularly an improvement intended for mobile support at least transversely to the axis longitudinal of the ski.
  • the shoe of a skier is retained on the ski so triggered by its front end thanks to a front fixing called commonly “stop”, and by its rear end, and in particular its heel, thanks to a rear attachment commonly known as a “heel piece”.
  • the release of the ski boot, endangering the skier's leg or joints is done by release either from the front or the heel of the shoe, or from both to the time.
  • the front stop comprises, for example, a jaw pivoting at least laterally around a vertical axis
  • the heel piece usually includes an upwardly swiveling jaw around a transverse axis, the jaw of the stopper and that of the each heel being acted upon by a trigger spring whose compression is adjustable to provide the skier with an effort value for the release of his adapted shoe.
  • the present invention therefore seeks to solve the drawbacks mentioned previously by proposing that an anti-friction element be provided between the movable element and its support.
  • the device for supporting a ski boot on a ski comprises a movable support element for the shoe which is movable at least in transverse displacement on a support and which is supported on said support downwards by means of at least one anti-friction element and is characterized in that the movable support element rests on the support at least forward and / or backward through at least one anti-friction element.
  • a movable support element for the shoe which is movable at least in transverse displacement on a support and which is supported on said support downwards by means of at least one anti-friction element and is characterized in that the movable support element rests on the support at least forward and / or backward through at least one anti-friction element.

  • a material with a low coefficient of friction such as example, a material with a lower coefficient of friction than the one in which the support and / or the movable support element is produced.
  • it can be made of polytetrafluoroethylene or polyethylene of high density, while the support is made of polypropylene or polyamide and the movable support element (10) is made of plastic material such as acetal or other resin as in metallic material.
  • the anti-friction element includes a horizontal bottom anti-friction pad and at least a front anti-friction plate. In a preferred mode, the element also includes a rear anti-friction pad.
  • the front anti-friction plate and / or rear is integral and integral with the anti-friction plate lower, while in another embodiment the plate front and / or rear antifriction is independent of the pad lower antifriction.
  • the anti-friction element comprises at least one plate horizontal lower friction placed between the underside of the movable support element and the upper surface of a groove of displacement of said movable support element, said anti-friction element further comprising a front anti-friction plate and a plate rear anti-friction, the front anti-friction plate being disposed between the back side of a front groove and the front side of a front edge of the movable support element, while the rear anti-friction plate is disposed between the front face of a rear groove and the rear face of said mobile support element.
