When pivoting the ski boot carrier 3, the contact area of the longitudinal end 17 shifts on the inclined plane 10 from a schifernen to a Schinahen area (lowering) or from a Schinahen area to a Schifernen area (lifting).
- the piston 14 In a pivot position of the ski boot carrier 3, in which the longitudinal end 17 has no contact with the inclined plane 10, the piston 14 is relieved and is pulled over the rod-shaped part 22 by the spring 16 to a predetermined extreme position in the cylinder 13 to the rear or pushed.
- the valve 1 1 allows unimpeded flow of liquid 12 from the rear portion 15 in the front portion 23 until the extreme position of the piston 14 is reached. If the pivot position of the ski boot carrier 3 is such that the heel-side region of the ski boot carrier 3 is higher than a horizontal, as an area at the toe 4, the float 19 floats away from the bearing 18 to the grid 20 due to the buoyancy force. On the one hand by flow and on the other hand, at sufficiently large inclination, by buoyancy of the floating body 19 is moved out of the bearing 18 and moved away and driven to the grid 20 and possibly held there.
- the longitudinal end 17 of the rod-shaped part 22 when lowering the heel portion of the ski boot carrier 3 with the inclined plane 10 in contact, the longitudinal end 17 is guided on the inclined plane 10 on further lowering in the direction of the ski 6.
- the longitudinal end 17 comes when lowering at a certain height above the ski 6 in contact with the inclined plane 10 and is guided on the inclined plane 10 on further lowering the heel of the ski boot carrier 3 to a Schidorfren place.
- lowering due to the decreasing distance of the inclined plane 10 to the transverse axis A acts a force in the longitudinal direction C of the ski boot carrier 3 and in the longitudinal direction of the cylinder 13 forward on the rod-shaped part 22 and thus on the Piston 14.
- the piston 14 is pressed against the spring force of the spring 16 in the cylinder 13 via the rod-shaped part 22 to the front. Due to the buoyancy force, the floating body 19 holds until reaching an approximately horizontal position of the cylinder 13 (and thus the ski boot carrier 3) on the grid 20th
- the climbing aid 2 has thus determined due to the float 19 reaching a horizontal position of the ski boot carrier 3 and prevents a further lowering of the ski boot carrier 3 via a blockage of the piston 14.
- FIG. 1 Another possibility based on the same principle as above is shown in FIG.
- a piston 52 is mounted vertically on the sole holder or ski boot carrier 3, whereby the inclined plane 10 shown in the preceding solution of Figs. 1 and 2 can be omitted, but other design requirements and possibly design features conditionally.
- the valve 53 is to be constructed differently.
- a pendulum flap 53 based on the principles of gravity.
- FIG. 3 shows a substantially similar ski binding as in FIG. 1 with a differently configured climbing aid 50. Reference will therefore be made to similar parts without renewed description with the same reference numerals as in the description of FIGS. 1 and 2.
- the automatic climbing aid 50 comprises in the embodiment shown in Fig. 3 in an elongated hollow cylinder 51 slidably guided in the longitudinal direction disc-shaped piston 52 and a gravity-controlled pendulum flap valve 53.
- the cylinder 51 is perpendicular to the ski boot longitudinal direction C at a heel-side projection 56 of Schischuhongs 3 firmly attached.
- a longitudinal axis of the cylinder 51 lies in the plane of the pivotal movement of the ski boot carrier 3.
- the shuttle valve 53 is formed so that it is in a vertical position of the cylinder 51 in a closed state.
- the cavity of the cylinder 51 is liquid-tightly divided by the piston 52 in a schinahen area 54 and a schifemen area 55 and is completely filled with a hydraulic fluid 57.
- the valve 53 is formed at a longitudinal longitudinal end of the cavity of the cylinder 51 and defines, together with the piston 52, the skirt portion 55 of the cavity.
- a rod-shaped part 58 which is fixedly connected to the piston 52, guided by a frontal opening fluid-tight in the longitudinal direction of the cylinder 51 slidably out of the cylinder 51 in the direction of ski 6.
- the sheer region 54 of the cavity is bounded by the piston 52 and the longitudinal longitudinal end of the cylinder 51.
- the two areas 54 and 55 are analogous to the rear 15 and front portion 23 of the embodiment of FIGS. 1 and 2 connected to each other via the valve 53, that no fluid can flow from the schifernen area 55 in the Schinahen area 54 when the valve 53 is closed , In the reverse direction, however, the liquid can always flow freely.
- a spring 60 is provided, which cooperates with the piston 52 and cylinder 51 such that the piston 52 is displaced in the absence of further forces in an extreme position for Schinahen longitudinal end of the cylinder 51 out.
- no inclined plane is necessary in the embodiment of FIG. 3, which shifts the piston 52 in the longitudinal direction of the cylinder 51 when lowering the ski boot carrier 3.
- the pendulum flap valve 53 closes. This prevents further flow of liquid from the region 55 into the region 54 and the piston 52 is no longer in position Cylinder 51 movable. Since the piston 52 is supported on the ski surface 61 via the rod-shaped part 58, the ski boot carrier 3 fixedly connected to the cylinder 51 can thus no longer be lowered further.
- the climbing aid 50 determines via the pendulum flap valve 53 the achievement of a vertical position of the cylinder 51 or a horizontal position of the ski boot carrier 3 and then automatically prevents or blocks a further lowering of the ski boot carrier 3.
- the piston 52 When lifting the ski boot carrier 3 from ski 6, the piston 52 is displaced by the spring 60 via the rod-shaped part 58 in the cylinder 51 in the direction of the ski 6 until it has reached an extreme position when the longitudinal end of the rod-shaped part 58 makes contact with the Ski surface 61 loses.
- Telescopic cylinder 101 flows. When moving down from shoe or sole holder or
- Ski boot carrier 3 the valve (consisting of inflow 108 and lower cylinder ring 104.1) closed because of the heavier than the other formed cylinder ring 104.1 at
- Fig. 5 shows the telescopic cylinder in a flat position. In this he can be completely squeeze, because due to the flat position no additional fluid flows into the telescopic cylinder. Only by the inclination of the ski flows more or less liquid in the piston which can only be limited compressed.
- FIG. 4 shows another possible embodiment of a hydraulic solution of a climbing aid 100 according to the invention, which comprises a spacer in the form of a compressible telescopic cylinder 101 and a reservoir 102 of a hydraulic fluid 103.
- the telescopic cylinder 101 is in this case formed on a surface 61 of the ski 6 in a region in which the heel region is arranged when the ski boot carrier 3 is lowered and can be compressed in the direction perpendicular to the ski surface ⁇ 1.
- the liquid reservoir 102 is arranged in the longitudinal direction B in front of the telescopic cylinder 101 and extends flat in an area on the ski surface 61 toward the toe 4.
- the telescopic cylinder 101 comprises in the illustration of Fig. 4-5 seven coaxial nested pipe socket 104.1 ... 104.7 of different diameters, each with the same height, which can be completely pushed into one another.
- the telescopic cylinder 101 In fully pushed together state, the telescopic cylinder 101 substantially the height of a single of the pipe socket 104.
- the pipe sockets 104 are sealed against each other liquid-tight. If no external force acts on the telescopic cylinder 101, it is pushed apart by a spring 105 arranged in the interior 106 of the telescopic cylinder 101 to a maximum height.
- the reservoir 102 is formed such that its height does not exceed the height of the telescoping cylinder 101 pushed together.
- a Schifeste base 107 of the telescopic cylinder 101 closes the interior 106 from liquid-tight.
- At the base 107 of the interior 106 is connected via a connection 108 to the liquid reservoir 102, such that when completely apart pushed state of the telescopic cylinder 101, the liquid 103 can flow freely from the reservoir 102 into the interior 106 and vice versa.
- the pipe stub 104 are so compared to the base 107 to Schi 6 out shifted that the connection 108 between the reservoir 102 and the interior 106 is closed.
- the closest pipe socket 104.1 which has the largest diameter, closes the connection 108.
- Fig. 4 shows a representation of a ski 6, which is inclined relative to a horizontal such that a front end of the ski 6 is higher than a rear end.
- Ski boot carrier 3 is pivoted so that the heel area is lifted from the ski 6 and it does not touch thanks to telescopic cylinder 101.
- the telescope cylinder 101 is therefore pushed apart maximally and the interior 106 is in communication with the reservoir 102.
- Liquid 103 flows due to the inclination of the ski 6 from the reservoir into the interior 106 to a horizontal mirror 109 due to gravity according to the principle of communicating tubes has set.
- the ski boot carrier 3 is lowered onto the telescopic cylinder 101, a force in the direction of the ski 6 is exerted on the telescopic cylinder 101.
- the pipe socket 104 are moved into the base 107 and the connection 108 is closed by the lowest pipe socket 104.1.
- the pipe socket 104.1 is designed to be heavier than the remaining pipe sockets 104.2... 104.7, which ensures that the pipe socket 104.1 is lowered directly onto the base 107 during the initial compression.
- no more liquid 103 can pass from the reservoir 102 into the telescopic cylinder 101 or vice versa.
- the telescopic cylinder 101 can only be limited, in particular not completely, pushed together. Thus, a complete lowering of the heel portion of the ski boot carrier 3 on the ski 6 is prevented. In particular, the further lowering is blocked at a height dependent on the liquid level in the interior 106.
- the amount of liquid in the interior space 106 depends on the inclination of the Schis 6 from: the steeper the ski 6 inclined, the more liquid flows into the interior 106 and the less the cylinder 101 can be pressed together under load. Thus, there is an automatic blocking of the lowering of the ski boot carrier 3, whereby a change in terrain slope is compensated.
- FIGS. 5a and 5b show an enlarged view of the climbing aid 100 without ski.
- the climbing aid 100 is in a horizontal position, in which the reservoir 102 and the base 107 of the telescopic cylinder 101 are aligned horizontally.
- the liquid level 109 is also aligned horizontally.
- telescopic cylinder 101 is not loaded and is pushed completely apart by the spring 106.
- the connection 108 is opened and the liquid 103 can flow freely between the inner space 106 and the Reservoiri 02.
- FIG. 5b shows the horizontally oriented climbing aid 100 when the telescopic cylinder 101 is loaded.
- the telescopic cylinder 101 is pushed completely together and the resulting height of the cylinder 101 substantially corresponds to the height of a single one of the pipe sockets 104.
- the pipe socket 104.1 is lowered to the base and closes the connection 108, so that no liquid 103 can flow from the interior 106 into the reservoir 102.
- the amount of liquid in the interior space 106 is dimensioned such that the telescopic cylinder 101 is completely pushed together and thus a complete lowering of the ski boot carrier 3 in the downhill position is possible.
- FIG. 6 shows yet another possibility for a shoe 151 suitably suspended in the toe area. Here a sole holder is unnecessary.
- the shoe 151 is pivoted directly about a transverse axis A in a toe region on the ski boot tip 153.
- the shoe 151 itself is hinged to a binding base 154.
- the climbing aid 100 corresponds to the illustrations of FIGS. 4 and 5 and requires no structural changes for use in a ski bootless binding 150.
- a heel region of the shoe 151 is lowered even on the telescopic cylinder 101.
- the inclination of the ski can be determined and as a result a distance by means of a motor via a spindle, a linear motor optionally in conjunction with the inclined plane of Fig. 1 in the displayed or a modified form or other suitable means can be set.
- FIGS. 7a-7d show four partial schematic views of a climbing aid 200 according to the invention in a purely mechanical design.
- Figures 8A-8D show a detailed view of the climbing aid 200. The figures are described below together and reference is made in the description to the individual representations.
- FIGS. 7a-7d each show a partial view of an elongated ski boot carrier 201 (longitudinal axis E) with a support element 204 and a heel lever 202 of a ski binding according to the invention with climbing aid 200. From the ski boot carrier 201 only a rearmost part with the support element 204 is shown, which is connected to the heel lever 202 as a climbing aid 200 cooperates.
- the heel lever 202 is pivoted about a transverse axis D to a schifesten base part (not shown). The heel lever 202 can then be pivoted about the axis D in a plurality of pivotal positions. It is eg conceivable that the heel lever can be locked by a spring detent in different pivot positions.
- the heel lever 202 further has a plurality of notches 203, each of which forms a support of different height above a ski provided with the climbing aid 200 (not shown) for a support element 204 of the ski boot carrier 201.
- the support element 204 of the ski boot carrier 201 is formed in a rearmost region of the ski boot carrier 201 and is described in more detail below.
- the support element 204 of the ski boot carrier 201 is displaceably mounted in the longitudinal direction E of the ski boot carrier 201 in a limited region 205.
- the support member 204 is slidably mounted in a direction perpendicular to a longitudinal direction of the ski boot carrier 201.
- the support element 204 is mounted such that it is at a shift relative to the ski boot carrier 201 in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the ski boot carrier 201 upwards, ie towards a held by the ski boot carrier shoe 201 (not shown), 204 from its current position in Longitudinal portion 205 is forcibly moved in a predetermined longitudinal position 206 with respect to the ski boot carrier 201.
- Such upward displacement occurs, for example, when the support member 204 is lowered so that it just comes into contact with the notches 203 of the heel lever 202 and then the ski boot carrier 201 is further lowered.
- the longitudinal position 206 corresponds to a lowered ski boot carrier 201 largely a longitudinal position of the pivot axis D of the heel lever 202. This acts at a force on the heel lever 202, which engages in a longitudinal position 206 corresponding position on the notches 203 and directed towards the ski, no Torque relative to the axis of rotation D on the heel lever.
- neutral This position of the corresponding notch, on which attacks the force without generating a moment on the heel lever.
- the support element 204 is latched when lowering on the notches 203 in a corresponding notch 203.
- the support element 204 can, while at a given pivoting position of the heel lever 202 relative to the ski reach depending on the current longitudinal position in different notches 203.1-203.3. If the support element 204 is introduced into a notch 203.2 and latched there, the support element 204 is displaced upward relative to the ski boot support 201 upon further lowering of the ski boot carrier 201. If the support element 204 is already in the longitudinal position 206 at the time of lowering onto the notches 203, then the support element 204 passes into a notch 203.2, which is in the neutral position. Since the support element 204 is already in the longitudinal position 206, no further displacement in the longitudinal direction of the ski boot carrier 201 takes place on further lowering (FIG. 7 a).
- the support element 204 is not in the longitudinal position 206 when it is inserted into a detent notch 203.3, the displacement of the support element 204 into the longitudinal position 206 takes place on further lowering of the ski boot carrier 201 due to the upward shift 206 (FIG. 7d). Since the support member 204 is then already locked in the notch 203.3, it takes in the shift in the longitudinal position 206 the heel lever 202 and exerts a moment on the heel lever 202 with respect to the axis D from. The displacement of the support element 204 in the longitudinal position 206 thus causes a change in the pivoting position of the heel lever 202 such that the notch 203.3 is brought into the neutral position (FIG. 7d).
- the force necessary to overcome the spring catch is dimensioned such that when the ski boot carrier 201 is lowered, the support element 204 can bring the heel lever 202 into another pivot position or detent position.
- the support member 204 is mounted on the ski boot carrier 201 that when lifted ski boot carrier 201 depending on the inclination of the ski boot carrier 201 relative to a horizontal support element 204 can be brought in the region 205 by the action of gravity in different longitudinal positions.
- the longitudinal position 206 corresponds to the position which occupies the support element 204 when it is not locked in a notch and the ski boot carrier 201 is in a horizontal position.
- Is a notch with a desired climbing height in the neutral position ie the height of this notch above the ski surface corresponds to the required by an inclination of the ski height to block a lowering of the ski boot carrier 201 in a substantially horizontal position, so when lowering the Ski boot carrier 201, the support member 204 is inserted into the notch in a neutral position and the pivot position of the heel lever 202 is not changed, since no moment acts on the heel lever 202.
- a horizontal position of the ski boot carrier 201 is undershot, i. the heel portion of the ski boot wearer 201 is lower than a horizontal direction of a front portion of the ski boot wearer 201, the support member 204 is displaced to a longitudinal position behind the position 206 due to gravity. As a result, the support element 204 is not placed in a notch 203.2 on lowering the notches 203, which is in the neutral position, but in a rear, for example. adjacent notch 203.3.
- the locking notch 203.3 of the desired climbing height and is in the neutral position the further lowering of the ski boot carrier 201 is blocked in a substantially horizontal position. If the locking notch 203.2 does not correspond to the desired climbing height, then another notch is brought into the neutral position by the mechanism described above. The process is repeated each time a walking step is performed until a notch with the desired climbing height is in the neutral position.
- the support member 204 is lowered before reaching the horizontal position on the notches, so the support member 204 is in a longitudinal position in front of the Position 206. As a result, the support member 204 is not introduced into the notch, which is currently in a neutral position, but in a front, for example, adjacent notch when lowering the support member 204 on the notches 203.
- the heel lever 202 is then brought into a pivotal position due to the forced displacement of the support member 204 in the longitudinal position 206, which brings the notch, in which the support member 204 is locked in the neutral position. This process is repeated with each step until a notch with the desired climbing height in the neutral position and when lowering no moment with respect to the axis D acts more on the heel lever 202.
- the current climbing height is adjusted incrementally or decrementally, until a desired climbing height is reached and the lowering of the ski boot carrier 201 is blocked in a substantially horizontal position.
- the adjustment takes place automatically depending on a slope of the ski.
- the functionality of the support member 204 is achieved by a transversely to the ski boot longitudinal direction E arranged roller bolt in a transverse and parallel to the ski surface by the ski boot carrier 201 passing through a receptacle for the support element 204 forming recess 210 is freely movable.

- the base 216 of the triangle extends from a front corner 212 to a rear corner 214 with the near-to-shoot corner 213 facing the base 216 of the triangle.
- the length of the base 216 corresponds to the length of the region 205.
- the base 216 of the triangle is not completely flat but has a pointing away from the shoe slight gable shape, the gable 217 of the corner 213 opposite and away from the shoe, or at full lowered ski boot carrier 201 down to the ski, is directed.
- Gable 217 and corner 213 are both arranged in a position corresponding to the longitudinal position 206.
- the inclinations of the gable sides are dimensioned such that at slight undershooting or exceeding the horizontal position of the ski boot carrier 201 of the rolling pin 204 in the Recess 210 rolls to a position in front of and behind the longitudinal position 206. In the horizontal position, the rolling bolt 204 rolls in the gable 217th
- roller bolt 204 If the roller bolt 204 is displaced upwardly within the recess 210, i. towards a ski boot, the rolling pin 204 is brought into the longitudinal position 206 by the walls of the recess 210 converging in the corner 209.
- the gable-shaped configuration of the base 216 ensures that the roller bolt 204 is arranged in a position before, behind or in the longitudinal position 206, depending on the orientation of the ski boot carrier 201 relative to a horizontal due to gravity. Due to the triangular shape of the recess 210, in particular due to the converging in the corner 209 walls is achieved that upon a displacement of the rolling pin 204 in a direction perpendicular to the axis E of the rolling bolt in the corner
- the roller bolt 204 passes through the recess on both sides of the ski boot carrier 201
