Definitions

  • the invention relates to a ski binding with adjustable Shoe or sole holder arrangement for releasable mounting a ski boot, a ski boot sole and / or at least one End of the sole in the direction of the ski against adjustable trigger resistance, with both on the shoe or on one Sideways movement of the shoe following the binding part as well on a ski-fixed binding part for the transmission of vertical forces arranged between ski and boot and in normal or middle position of the shoe or the movable binding part symmetrical to a vertical central longitudinal plane Support elements and surfaces that occur when a Torque between shoe and ski with respect to a longitudinal axis of the ski on one side of the median longitudinal plane from each other relieved and / or on the other side of the central longitudinal plane are increasingly pressed against each other.
  • ski bindings are from CH 673 403 A5 and EP 0 829 281 A1 is known.
  • Binding parts for transmission the support elements provided for the vertical forces and -Areas on the movable and ski-binding parts designed such that the vertical forces acting in each case with slight deflection of a sideways movement of the following ski boot part from the middle or Normal position an additional force component in the direction the respective sideways movement of the ski boot and thus support the release of the bond in the end result. In this way it can counteract a trigger and varying according to the respective vertical forces Friction can be largely compensated.
  • the object of the invention is now the trigger behavior Ski binding in adaptation to the respective skiing situation vary.
  • the invention is based on the general idea, on the one hand in a basically conventional way for the whole of the support surfaces and elements in normal or Central position of the binding symmetrical to the vertical central longitudinal plane Provide design, but each with a single supporting element interacting parts of the To design support surfaces asymmetrically relative to the support element. This results in a symmetrical tripping behavior as long as the support elements and surfaces on both sides of the vertical central longitudinal plane are loaded symmetrically.
  • the triggering behavior of the ski binding also becomes a fact Taken into account that the skier is exercising his muscles correspondingly one-sided with longitudinal ski edges inserted loaded.
  • the invention is not based on such Binding interpretation limited. Rather, it can be provided for unloaded or relieved sole or Longitudinal edge towards an increased release resistance in Ski direction to be provided.
  • the asymmetry of the support surface can be due to the fact that the support surface has a sideways inclination, at least in some areas in the ski direction and / or with different Surface areas is formed such that the Support element for relative movements between the support element and support surface over areas with different coefficients of friction or sideways slopes. In order to can achieve the desired asymmetrical tripping characteristic become.
  • the binding can in principle be designed so that the occurring friction from the vertical load that the ski boot exercising on the ski is dependent. So that the Release of the binding release force to be applied also depending on the load be changed so that the typical Vertical loading occurring to a certain degree Difficulty in triggering the bond leads while at low vertical loads, the binding is released is facilitated. This in turn takes account of the fact worn that the muscles of the skier at typical Driving style more tense and because of the increased Vertical posture typical posture on shock loads is well prepared. So the bond behaves in a typical driving style in the desired manner stiff while triggering is facilitated when driving atypically.
  • the skis are 1 according to Fig. 5 typically well known, such that the inside of the curve Ski longitudinal edges 1 'more or less strongly in the Cut in the respective slope while the outer ski longitudinal edges 1 "are lifted off the respective slopes.
  • ski boot 100 Transfer torque with respect to a longitudinal axis of the ski.
  • the uneven loading can the ski longitudinal edges 1 'and 1' 'can be used to that a ski binding in the direction of the ski to the loaded longitudinal edge of the ski a different trigger characteristic than the unloaded Long edge of the ski has.
  • ski 1 is ski-proof a slide plate 2 attached.
  • a stand or pedal plate 3 is supported, which is in the direction of the ski, i.e. 1 to the left and right, movable with respect to the ski 1 is mounted.
  • On the Stand or pedal plate 3 is supported by a sole 4 Ski boots 5 from 6 with the help of sole holders Shoe or sole holder arrangement is held on the ski 1.
  • the sole holder 6 are in the ski direction against the Prestressed sole 4, which is symbolically represented by spring means 7 is.
  • the spring means 7 allow the sole holders 6 and thus the shoe held therein 5 adjustment movements in the ski direction, the shoe 5 or its Sole 4 stationary relative to the base or pedal plate 3 remains while the stand or pedal plate 3 this adjustment movements follows.
  • the stand or pedal plate 3 adjusted relative to the ski 1 on the slide plate 2.
  • the spring means 7 of the sole holder 6 act on the transverse adjustments the ski boot 5 counter and thereby form a trigger resistance.
  • This trigger resistance is with Adjustable using conventional means.
  • the cross adjustments of the ski boot 5 within a so-called elastic range remain in the binding cause the restoring forces the spring means 7 that the ski boot 5 after each deflection is aligned again in the longitudinal direction of the ski.
  • the ski boot 5 goes beyond its elastic range is transversely adjusted, at least one of the sole holders opens 6, so that the shoe 5 is released.
  • the stand or pedal plate 3 If vertical loads on the stand or pedal plate 3 are exercised, it comes between the contiguous Surfaces of the stand or pedal plate 3 and the slide plate 2 to frictional forces in the case of transverse adjustment the stand or pedal plate 3 with respect to the ski 1 Form friction resistance.
  • the stand or pedal plate 3 with a special Contact surface 8 on the surface of the sliding plate 2 to the facility. Instead of a flat contact area the stand or pedal plate 3 is also punctiform or linear Have contact points.
  • Sub-areas 9a to 9e can be subdivided, for example have a different roughness and / or from another Made of material and / or have a different surface shape.
  • the Slide plate 2 or its subregions 9 are ramp-like are to the depending on the adjustment Adjustment to counteract resistance.
  • the outer partial areas 9a and 9e can each be designed as a ramp that rises to the outside.
  • the vertical load that is used to achieve the frictional force and thus the frictional resistance is required depends primarily depending on the weight of the skier. Furthermore can the vertical load from the template of the Depending on the skier, especially if the stand or pedal plate 3 supports the heel area or toe area of the ski boot 5.
  • edge zones 8 'and 8 "of the contact surface 8 pushed differently against the slide plate 2. If for example, only cuts the longitudinal ski edge 1 'into the slope, the edge area 8 'of the contact surface 8 is very strongly against the sliding plate 2 is pushed while the edge area 8 " seeks to remove from the slide plate 2.
  • the edge area 8 'then acts. together with the slide plate 2. Because of the edge area 8 'the partial areas 9a to 9e of the sliding plate 2 asymmetrically are arranged, then must be asymmetrical Set the release characteristics of the binding, because in the direction the longitudinal edge 1 'of the edge zone 8' can only be along one cooperate with the partial area 9c while in the direction of the longitudinal ski edge 1 "for the edge zone 8 ' a large path length is available for the partial area 9c.
  • Fig. 2 are on the Bottom of the pedal plate 3 two in the ski cross direction from each other spaced support elements 10 and 10 'arranged, which is symmetrical to a vertical longitudinal median plane L of the ski 1 when the pedal plate 3 is shown in FIG. 2 middle position, i.e. their normal position when skiing, occupies.
  • These support elements 10 and 10 ' cooperate Parts 11a to 11c or 11'a to 11'c one on the ski side arranged slide plate 2 together.
  • sections 11a and 11'a, 11b and 11'b and 11c and 11'c respectively symmetrical to the aforementioned longitudinal center plane L of the ski 1 formed, the sections 11a and 11'a to the ski sides descending ramps, the sections 11c and 11'c ramps descending towards the center of the ski and the sections 11b and 11'b form planes parallel to the top of the ski.
  • the total of the vertical longitudinal center plane L of the ski 1 symmetrical construction has a directional Behavior when the ski 1, for example when cornering, one-sided is charged. When cornering, practically only the inside of the curve Side edge of the ski tread loaded.
  • the left support member 10 only acts after a long way on the section 11b with the ramp-like Section 11a of the slide plate 2 together with the Consequence that a movement towards the inside of the curve along one counteracts greater frictional resistance.
  • the stand or pedal plate 3 is on a carrier part 12 of the binding shown in FIG. 3 attached, the right in Fig. 3, in the longitudinal direction rearward end of the stand or pedal plate 3 is vertically movable relative to the support member 12.
  • the sole holder 6 are also in essential vertical axes pivoted.
  • the carrier part 12 By a basically conventional one, in the binding housing 14 housed release and locking device the carrier part 12 together with the stand or pedal plate 3 relative to the middle or normal position shown in FIG. 3 pushed to ski 1. At the same time, the sole holder 6 locked relative to the carrier part 12 in the position shown. This allows the support member 12 and the sole holder 6 the front area of the sole of a not shown in FIG. 3, placed on the stand or pedal plate 3 Ski boots from the front, from the side and from above reach around and hold accordingly on the ski 1.
  • the one to be overcome in the aforementioned transverse displacement Release force is dependent on the load of the Stand or pedal plate 3 by interaction of the contact surface 8 with the sliding plate 2 in Fig. 1 and the support elements 10 and 10 'changed with the slide plate 2 in Fig. 2, as shown above.
  • the invention can also in the case of a reserve of the skier.
  • the support elements 15 and 15 'and the support surfaces 16 and 16 ' are in the illustrated central position of the carrier part 12 symmetrical to the vertical longitudinal median plane L des Skis 1 arranged, but with the support surfaces 16 and 16 'with respect to the support elements 15 and 15' each asymmetrical are formed and sections 16a to 16c or 16'a to 16'c. Thereby lie in the Example the sections 16b and 16'b parallel to Ski top, while the other sections to the ski center Form ramps rising towards the outside of the ski.
  • the support element 15 with increased force against the associated support surface 16 urged while between the support member 15 'and the support surface 16 'very low or disappearing support forces occur. If the carrier part 12 in FIG. 2 relative to ski 1 to the left to the unloaded longitudinal edge of the ski is to be moved, the left support element 15 along one cf. short way over the section 16b of the support surface 16 move until the ramp-like section 16a is reached and that between the support element 15 and the portion 16a effective support forces due to the ramp-like Inclination of section 16a is a force component in the direction of the left longitudinal edge of the ski.
  • the support elements 10 and 10 'also on the ski side and the Sliding plate 2 can be arranged on the underside of the pedal plate 3. If with such a construction when cornering same asymmetry of the friction resistances as with the in Fig. 2 shown construction should occur, however the sections 11b and parallel to the top of the ski 11'b compared to the associated support elements 10 and 10 ' towards the middle of the ski (and not as in Fig. 2 to the respective Ski outsides).
