The well-known elements of this kind represent solutions for the transmission of vibrations and impacts from the ski to prevent the shoe and / or to prevent the elastic Deformation of the shooting is influenced by the attached shoe.

Besagte bekannte Elemente sind aus mehreren metallischen Teilen, Kunststoffteilen und elastischen Teilen zusammengesetzt und am Schi durch mehrere Schrauben verschiebbar und verformbar befestigt. Verschiedene dieser Elemente haben keine große Verbreitung gefunden weil sie aus zu vielen Teilen zusammengesetzt sind und so befestigt sind, daß hohe Montagezeiten erforderlich sind. Einige dieser Elemente hingegen haben nicht den gestellten Anforderungen entsprochen weil sie nicht in zufriedenstellender Weise die direkte oder ausreichende Übertragung der Bewegungen vom Schuh auf den Schi ermöglichen.Said known elements are made of several metallic parts, Plastic parts and elastic parts put together and on the ski several screws slidably and deformably attached. Different of these Elements have not been widely used because they are made up of too many parts are assembled and fastened so that long assembly times are required are. However, some of these elements do not meet the requirements met because they are not satisfactory the direct or sufficient transfer of movements from the shoe to the ski enable.

Zur Lösung dieser Aufgabe schlägt die Erfindung den Einsatz von zwei Abstandstücken aus Kunststoff vor welche in einem sich quer erstreckenden Bereich verbunden sind und, mittels eines beidseitig wirkenden Klebebandes, am Schi angebracht sind. Jedes dieser Stücke ist am Schi mittels zwei Schrauben gesichert welche im äußersten Bereich entsprechend der Schuhspitze und dem Schuhabsatz vorgesehen sind während eine dritte Schraube welche in einem Bereich außerhalb jenes der beiden Befestigungsschrauben vorgesehen ist, die Verankerung am Schi verbessert aber ein begrenztes Gleiten zwischen dem Schi und dem entsprechenden Abstandsstück zuläßt. Erfindungsgemäß kann der gelenkige Bereich zwischen den beiden Abstandstücken als Scharnier mit quer zur Längserstreckung der Abstandstücke verlaufendem Scharnierzapfen ausgebildet sein und dabei mehr oder weniger Längsspiel ermöglichen. Vorteilhafterweise ist der Gelenkbereich durch die Zwischenlage eines Schaumgummistreifens oder eines anderen elastisch verformbaren Materials welches an die beiden entsprechenden Stirnseiten der Abstandsstücke geklebt ist, gebildet. Das Aufkleben der Abstandstücke auf die obere Fläche des Schis erfolgt vorteilhafterweise mittels beidseitig klebendem Kunststoffband oder ― Kunststofflaminat wodurch sich der Vorteil ergibt, daß ein begrenztes elastisches Gleiten zwischen den Abstandstücken und dem Schi, abhängig von der Viskosität des Klebers, möglich ist jedoch die Positionierung während der Montage und dem Festziehen der Schrauben gesichert ist.To achieve this object, the invention proposes the use of two Plastic spacers in front of which extend in a transversely Are connected area and, by means of a double-sided adhesive tape, on Ski are attached. Each of these pieces is attached to the ski using two screws secured which in the outermost area according to the toe and the Heel shoes are provided while a third screw is in one Area is provided outside of the two mounting screws that Anchoring to the ski improves limited gliding between the skis and the corresponding spacer. According to the articulated area between the two spacers as a hinge with across for the longitudinal extension of the spacer hinge pin be trained and allow more or less longitudinal play. Advantageously, the hinge area is a by the intermediate layer Foam strip or other elastically deformable material which is glued to the two corresponding end faces of the spacers, educated. The spacers are glued onto the upper surface of the ski advantageously by means of double-sided adhesive plastic tape or Plastic laminate which has the advantage that a limited elastic Sliding between the spacers and the ski, depending on the viscosity of the adhesive, but positioning is possible during assembly and the Tightening the screws is secured.

Gemäß der Erfindung ist es wichtig, daß die Befestigungsschrauben an den äußersten Bereichen, entsprechend der Schuhspitze und dem Schuhabsatz vorgesehen sind um so zu erreichen daß eine möglichst direkte Übertragung der Bewegungen und der Belastungen vom Schuh auf den Schi erfolgen kann. Die dritte und eventuell auch vierte Schraube welche in einem, in Bezug auf den Befestigungsbereich entsprechend der Schuhspitze und dem Schuhabsatz, äußeren Bereich vorgesehen ist, ist in eine Bohrung am Abstandstück eingesetzt welche größeren Durchmesser hat, so daß bei Biegung des Schis ein begrenztes Gleiten zwischen den Abstandstücken und dem Schi möglich ist. Die Erfindung schließt nicht aus, daß diese Bohrung die Form eines Langlochs hat.According to the invention it is important that the fastening screws on the outermost areas, corresponding to the toe and heel are provided so as to ensure that the transmission of the Movements and loads from the shoe to the ski can take place. The third and possibly fourth screw which in one, in relation to the Fastening area according to the toe and heel, outer area is provided, is inserted into a hole in the spacer which has a larger diameter, so that when the ski bends a limited one Sliding between the spacers and the ski is possible. The invention does not rule out that this hole has the shape of an elongated hole.
