Toe (12) and heel (22) bindings have a sliding fit on guides and are secured into optimum positions by threaded fasteners (30) screwed into the guides. Front and rear guides have an overlap to allow for flexing of the ski. Bindings are held on guides by grips (13, 23) which provide lateral flexibility.

Description

The invention relates to a mounting system for a front or toe-side binding aggregate and one of them in Longitudinal direction according to the sole length of a ski boot spaced rear or heel-side binding aggregate having ski binding on a ski.

As a rule, the front and rear binding aggregates need conventional ski bindings size-matched to the ski become. When attaching the binding aggregates done by screwing, must be different depending on shoe size spaced apart boreholes for receiving the screws are provided in the ski.

Furthermore, skis are known to be on their top undercut longitudinal rails are provided, the structural parts of the ski are anchored and already by the ski manufacturer be arranged during the production of the skis. In these Guide rails can then be front and rear binding aggregates with complementary to the profile of the guide rails Insert guide profiles and in different Fix the positions on the guide rails. Possibly. This fixation can be done by means of one between the binding aggregates on the guide rails or on the ski held abutment take place, which in turn over variable length band or bar-like members with the binding aggregates is coupled.

Moreover, so-called rental bonds are known in which the binding aggregates on base parts to be arranged are arranged adjustable in the ski longitudinal direction to to adapt to different shoe sizes can. For the base parts need regular mounting holes arranged according to special drilling patterns in the ski become.

The object of the invention is the arrangement of the ski bindings substantially simplify and in particular enable skiing that regardless of the type of ski binding and / or shoe size with a uniform hole pattern for the arrangement of mounting screws to be mounted on the ski side can be worked.

• einem in Längsrichtung vorderen, skifest montierbaren Führungsschienenteil,
• einem separaten, in Längsrichtung hinteren, skifest montierbaren Führungsschienenteil,
• einem auf dem vorderen Führungsschienenteil in Längsrichtung verschiebbar geführten vorderen Trägerteil für das vordere Bindungsaggregat einer Skibindung,
• einem auf dem hinteren Führungsschienenteil in Längsrichtung verschiebbar geführten hinteren Trägerteil für das hintere Bindungsaggregat der Skibindung und
• formschlüssigen Einstellmitteln, die die Trägerteile in entsprechend der jeweiligen Sohlenlänge unterschiedlichen Positionen an zumindest einem Führungsschienenteil zu fixieren und/oder zu verriegeln gestatten.

This task is solved with

• a longitudinally forward, skifest mountable guide rail part,
• a separate, longitudinally rear, skifest mountable guide rail part,
• a front carrier part for the front binding unit of a ski binding, which is displaceably guided in the longitudinal direction on the front guide rail part,
• one on the rear guide rail part in the longitudinal direction displaceably guided rear support member for the rear binding unit of the ski binding and
• positive locking adjustment means which allow the carrier parts in accordance with the respective sole length different positions on at least one guide rail part to fix and / or to lock.

The invention is based on the general idea, a mounting system to provide at which the skifest to be mounted Parts without regard to the sole length of the desired Ski boots can be mounted. This can be for ski-sided Mounting holes a uniform hole or hole pattern which, moreover, from the point of view a minimal reaction of the mounting system can be designed on the flex characteristics of the ski. In this context, it is advantageous that the fastening means, especially screws, receiving ski-side Structural parts necessary for a tear-proof recording the fasteners are necessary, in plan view of the Ski only need to occupy very small areas, as the position the fastener of the sole length of the desired Ski boot independent and accordingly exact can be specified. In this way, unwanted stiffeners of the ski due to excessively large structural parts for picking up be avoided by fasteners.

Furthermore, an undesirable stiffening of the ski counteracted in the invention by the fact that for the support parts of the front and rear binding aggregates provided separate guide rail parts are, wherein the guide rail parts preferably such are designed and arranged that they do not affect each other Train can still transmit shear forces. The two guide rail parts form accordingly within the receiving area the ski boots on the ski no continuous structural layer above a neutral bending plane of the ski. Nevertheless, the design of the guide rail parts the Impression of a one-piece or one-piece construction.

The mounting system according to the invention is also advantageous in that as the binding aggregates inevitably increased Vertical distance obtained from the ski top, similar as common between traditional binding aggregates and the ski top mounted stand or spacer plates.

This will tilt the ski when cornering, in particular in so-called carving technique, or in the execution relieved by turns. The invention mounting system So takes over the function, the footprint the ski boot opposite the ski top to the relief up the edge of the ski.

According to an expedient embodiment, each binding carrier part is with the rails of the associated guide rail part over front and longitudinally spaced apart therefrom rear sliding shoe-like guide elements in positive Intervention. This will ensure that the guide rails largely without inhibition by the binding carrier parts can flex together with the ski, as the guide rails between the sliding shoe-like guide elements remain freely movable relative to the binding carrier parts.

Furthermore, it is preferably provided, the adjustment as in side view one-point fixation of the respective support member train. This will ensure that the Carrier parts and the associated guide rail parts each other can not burden on train or thrust.

In a structurally particularly simple embodiment can a pin or screw a vertical hole on one Pass through the end region of the respective carrier part and into a corresponding, individually or as part of a row of holes arranged hole on one of the guide rail parts, around the respective carrier part in the ski longitudinal direction set.

Instead, it is also possible and advantageous to at least a support member a locking member with at least one in Transverse direction movable rule to arrange, in the transverse direction in recesses on a guide rail part arranged counter latch side is inserted.

Incidentally, in terms of preferred features of the invention to the claims and the following description especially preferred embodiments of the invention based referred to the drawing.

On the front guide rail part 2 is a front Binding support member 12 slidably disposed. This is as a platform-like slide part integrally formed, formed sliding shoe-like guide elements 13, the have a complementary to the guide rails 5 profile and accordingly the guide rails 5 with positive engagement embrace, so that the binding support member 12 only in Longitudinal direction of the guide rails 5 is movable. The guide elements 13 are spaced apart from each other longitudinally arranged front and rear guide elements, so that the guide rails 5 in the longitudinal center region of the front Bonding carrier part 12 are exposed and relative to Bonding member 12 in this area vertically without danger can move a strain on the binding carrier part.

On the flat top of the binding carrier part 12 can a principle conventional front or toe-side Skibindungsaggregat in principle the same way as before to be mounted on a ski. From the front binding aggregate is only a two-part in Figs. 1 to 3 Base plate 14 ', 14 "shown, which is not shown Front shoe or sole holder unit wears. This Shoe or Sohlenhalteraggregat is designed or arranged that the mounting holes 15 'and 15 "in the both base plate parts 14 'and 14 "remain freely accessible. In these mounting holes 15 'and 15 "can be Insert mounting screws 16, which are then to be held the binding unit or the base plate 14 ', 14 "in Receiving holes 17 are screwed to the binding support member 12. The fastening screws 16 are so short, that they are neither positive nor positive fit with the guide rail part 2 interact.

Another, longer fastening screw 18 is in the Attachment hole 19 of the lower base plate member 14 'as well the aligned mounting hole 20 in the binding carrier part 12 inserted and in one of the holes of the row of holes 8th screwed the guide rail part 2. This holds the fixing screw 18 the binding carrier part 12 together with the binding unit arranged thereon in the longitudinal direction fixed relative to the guide rail part 2. Depending on the used Hole of the row of holes 8 becomes the binding aggregate on the binding carrier part 12 relative to the longitudinal center of the ski 1 on arranged in front or behind.

At the front end of the front binding support member 12 can still a guide piece 21 be formed or arranged, which is complementary to the T-profile 7 of the front guide rail part 2 is formed and engages in the T-profile 7. This can be a particular compared to vertical tensile forces resilient coupling between front guide rail part 2 and bonding carrier part 12 can be achieved.

On the rear guide rail part 3 is a rear Binding support member 22 slidably disposed. These are on Bond carrier part 22 sliding shoe-like guide elements 23rd attached or molded, the one to the guide rails 9 have complementary profile and the binding carrier part 22 on the guide rails 9 in the vertical and sideways direction hold fast. There are again in Longitudinally spaced front and rear Guiding elements 23 are arranged, between which the guide rails 9 of the guide rail part 3 vertically-movable stay.

The binding support member 22 can be by means of a fastening screw 24, in a receiving hole 25 on the binding carrier part 12 is inserted on the guide rail part 3 in Determine longitudinal direction immovably. This is the fixing screw 24 screwed into one of the holes of the row of holes 10. With the selected hole of the row of holes 10th It is determined whether the binding support member 22 further forward or further arranged on the back of the ski 1 and held becomes.

On the binding support member 22 is a conventional in principle rear or heelside binding unit arranged.

This has in the example shown a sliding guide plate 26, with its rear end between undercut edge strips 27 of the binding carrier part 22nd can insert, wherein in the inserted end position a on the binding support member 22 integrally formed spring tongue 28 facing Transverse edge of the sliding guide plate 26 like a stop overlaps. In addition, the sliding guide plate with molded on her recesses 29 with not shown Locking elements on the edge strips 27 of the binding carrier part 22 cooperate.
