Definitions

  • the invention relates to a connection unit for movably connecting two longitudinal skids.
  • the typical case of a winter sports device with two skids to be moved independently of one another is the pair of skis, in which a ski is firmly connected to a foot via a binding. From this, for example, the single skis equipped with a mono-ski was derived in which both legs / feet are mounted on only one skid.
  • Another representative of a winter sports equipment with only one skate is the snowboard, the track is driven on only one edge.
  • the fixed position of the feet on the mono-ski as well as on the snowboard brings but also some unpleasant side effects such.
  • two-ski systems have been developed that combine the positive effects of different systems in one synthesis.
  • connection units which are attached to the ski tips.
  • a stiff cross strut is attached to two rubber catches, which in turn are mounted on each ski tip. This arrangement allows a guide of the skis both in parallel position, as well as in Pflug ein with far apart ends.
  • the disadvantage of this connection unit lies in the limited possibility of use, which is suitable only for the area of the ski beginner.
  • the connecting units serve to block the ski movements against each other with the intention to mount a mono-ski out of two skis.
  • This type of connection has the disadvantage that when changing from the deep snow to the runway and vice versa, each of the device must be remounted.
  • connection unit is placed in front of and behind the ski binding, with the intention of keeping the skis essentially parallel.
  • the parallel ski guide is made here permanently.
  • connection units which allow both the edge as well as the stepwise movement in the ski longitudinal direction with parallel guidance of the ski, provide the DE 26 53 701 .
  • EP 0 274 333 B1 and FR 2630 339-A1 Here, the cross member for parallel guidance of the skis was rotatably mounted on the fasteners on the ski.
  • Characteristic feature of these carving turns is the parallel skiing, as well as the higher speed and the strong to extreme cornering.
  • Compression springs are attached to the articulated levers.
  • tension springs are attached to the articulated levers.
  • torsion springs are attached to the articulated levers.
  • the restoring element (s) - for the sake of simplicity, always mentioned only in the singular, without limiting the invention thereto - react to any kind of deflection and relative movement of the connection unit, ie. H. both on a pivoting of a bearing block relative to the end of the transverse strut attached thereto or on a relative movement of the two cross struts to each other both in the horizontal transverse direction and in the vertical transverse direction, the user has in principle a full three-dimensional mobility for each skid, he must only overcome the restoring force of the return element.
  • the restoring force of the return elements must be chosen so that they can be overcome by the appropriate user actually and without too much effort.
  • the restoring force is sufficient to move the individual parts of the connection unit back to their normal position again and again, just as every car should automatically continue straight on when the steering wheel is released.
  • connection unit In this way, the user of the connection unit is not forced to a certain driving style or driving style, but a carving-like driving style is promoted by such a connection unit.
  • connection unit Nevertheless, the user is able to actively realize any other driving style with the help of such a connection unit.
  • the two bearing blocks for the two transverse struts can be combined at the same end of a connecting unit in a common bearing block.
  • the pivot axes are preferably not identical, but spaced apart in the longitudinal direction, to allow the two-sided edge.
  • the restoring element comprises at least one spring element, which causes the return to the normal position, but preferably also a damper element, which is preferably functionally combined with the spring element to avoid the transmission of especially external vibrations from one side of the connection unit to the other and in particular also natural oscillations which arise in the application of the connection unit to attenuate.
  • a particularly simple design of such a resilient and damping restoring element is a rubber element, in particular a rubber-metal part such as a cylindrical rubber block, in particular with cast-in fastening elements, for.
  • Restoring elements in particular rubber elements are arranged, which are screwed in each case with one of its end faces on one of the transverse struts or otherwise secured.
  • dedicated fastening positions in the form of through-bores are provided on the individual transverse struts for this purpose.
  • restoring elements in the form of torsion springs can be arranged in the joints of the bearing blocks.
  • connection unit By restoring elements, in particular rubber elements, different hardness and in different numbers between the cross braces of a connection unit are mounted, the return characteristic of the connection unit can be adjusted individually.
  • the spring characteristic of the return elements must not be a straight line, but the restoring force can increase disproportionately with increasing deflection.
  • the restoring force is the user to edge up - usually mainly only one of the skids - applied torque to the resting on the ground edge of the ski aufkantenden and thus a torque around the pivot axes between the front and rear bearing blocks on the side of this skid.
  • cross struts themselves are rigid cross struts and do not spring, especially in a direction perpendicular to the pivot axis in the bearing blocks.
  • a particularly cost-effective design results when the cross struts of a flat material, for. B. made of metal, such as spring beam, are made, whose large transverse axis is parallel to the transverse plane of the pivot axes in the bearing blocks and while the cross braces are viewed in the longitudinal direction arcuately formed.
  • the applied torque for achieving a certain Aufkantwinkels at an approved step displacement in the longitudinal direction of the skids to each other the applied torque is only between 30% and 60% of that torque which is required to the same Aufkantschul reach if forcibly, the longitudinal displacement of the skis is mechanically blocked against each other.
  • the offset of the pivot axes in the longitudinal direction should be in the range of 10 to 20 mm, preferably to move the 15 mm.
  • the individual bearing blocks or also the common bearing block for both cross struts may have a base plate which is designed so that it is also suitable for clamping this base plate between the sole of a ski boot and the upper side of the binding or of the ski itself.
  • connection unit is designed so that when pivoting the bearing blocks relative to the cross struts from the normal position in addition a step shift, ie an offset in the longitudinal direction of the two bearing blocks to each other, occurs, which should be adjustable in particular and should be adjustable to zero.
  • the size of the step displacement can be regulated by adjusting the pivot axis distance.
  • connection unit can be used to movably connect two parallel skids, such as two carving skis, in which ever such a connection unit in front of and behind the ski bindings in which the ski boots of the user are held respectively, is mounted.
  • the front and rear connection unit are identical, if appropriate, except for the number or hardness of the restoring elements installed in them, but which can also be replaced later.
  • connection units should be mounted as quickly and easily as possible on the equipped with bindings skids, so that, for example, a conventional pair of carving skis can be supplemented by additional attachment of the front and rear connection unit to a new, coupled winter sports equipment and by removing again as normal few skiers can be driven.
  • connection units are mounted so that the inclinations of the pivot axes of the front and rear connection units fall or rise towards the center of the ski.
  • connection units should be equipped with restoring elements so that the restoring forces in the front connection unit are greater than in the rear connection unit, and this in particular in each deflection state.
  • the bearing blocks at the ends of the connecting units are preferably designed for easy attachment either to the front and rear binding jaws of a ski binding and / or to the front or rear parts a binding plate provided between the binding and the ski or the front or rear end of a ski boot or a separate longitudinal strut protruding forwards and backwards from the area under the binding.
  • an increasing binding plate is present, on the one hand to allow a strong edge, without the sides of the ski boot collide with the ground, but also so as not to hinder the bending of the ski.
  • the binding plate is screwed both in its central region and at its ends relative to the ski, but at the ends by means of slots, so that when bending the ski a relative displacement in the longitudinal direction between the ski, so the skid and the overlying free end of the binding plate is possible.
  • the binding itself is bolted to the binding plate only in its central area, namely the center of the base plate to the center of the binding plate, so that the deflection of the ski in the areas below there does not hinder the positioning of the binding jaws further forward and rearward becomes.
  • a currently favored design of the binding plate is a longitudinal rail, which is in particular downwardly or upwardly open, U-shaped and usually has on its outer sides guide elements to which the binding is pushed with corresponding counter-guide elements only from behind in the longitudinal direction and fixed by screwing in the longitudinal direction must be while fixing in all transverse directions by the positive engagement of the guide elements and counter elements is effected.
  • the longitudinal positioning of the ski binding is done by screwing in the middle area opposite the longitudinal rail.
  • connection unit The positioning of the front and rear connection units can also be done by screwing against the longitudinal rail or by longitudinally positioning by means of a longitudinally rigid, but laterally flexible spacer fixed on the one hand to the binding and on the other hand to the connection unit.
  • a solution which requires less installation or requires an additional part therefore consists of the middle region of the ski, to which the binding is already firmly bolted to the ski via the binding plate, preferably in the region between the base plate of the binding and the binding plate, for example in the free space of the U-shape.
  • shaped longitudinal rail in each case a longitudinal strut from the central region to the front and rear freely cantilevered to attach before and behind the front and rear end of the binding and on these protruding ends of the longitudinal struts then the bearing blocks of the connection units.
  • the bearing blocks are also pushed and locked on the longitudinal struts only or additionally screwed.
  • a winter sports device can be set between the two relatively widely spaced skids a middle third skid, which is also mounted under the connection units, but has a smaller length and greater width than the other skids.
  • the winter sports equipment 1 consists of two in the longitudinal direction 10 parallel juxtaposed skids 2a, b, on which the user is fixed with one foot, so shoe, and the two transverse connecting units 3a, b, one in front and one behind the shoes , are interconnected.
  • connecting units 3a, b extending transversely from the one skid 2a to the other skid 2b are arranged, which are fastened at both ends to one of the skids, namely in this case the binding plates 14a, b are.
  • connection units 3a, b consists of a transverse strut 5a, in this case of a flat material whose long cross-sectional axis is approximately parallel to the main plane of the skids 2a, b.
  • a third, middle skid 2c is fixed therebetween, which is screwed to the underside of the transverse struts 5a, b and from the front to the rear connecting unit 3a, b passes through and also protrudes front and rear over this and has front and rear pointed tips. This makes it easier to drive in deep snow.
  • FIG. 1 to 3 show a comparison with FIG. 5 again improved design of the connection unit 3a, b and thus the winter sports equipment, this time only with two skids 2a, b.
  • Fig. 1a and b such as Fig. 2b and c 5 shows that each connecting unit 3a, b has two transverse struts 5a, b extending from the left to the right-hand skid 2a, b, each having its free ends 6a, b in one Bearing 7a, b are pivotally mounted, each bearing block is mounted on one of the two skids.
  • the pivot axes 17a, b of the ends 6a, b of the transverse struts 5a, b in the bearing block 7a, b extend in the longitudinal direction 10 of the skids 2a, b, but not parallel to the sliding surface 4a, b of the skids 2a, b, but at an angle of about 30 to 60 ° inclined, namely the ski center, so to the binding out, in this case increasing.
  • the restoring elements also here in the form of rubber elements 8, are not arranged between the ends of the transverse struts 5a, b and the respective bearing block or the skid 2a, b, but arranged between the two transverse struts 5a, b, for. B. in the central region and with one end of these, for example, cylindrical rubber elements 8 attached to one of the transverse struts 5a, b, in particular screwed, or also vulcanized.
  • transverse struts 5a, b In the direction of the transverse struts 5a, b can be arranged a plurality of such rubber elements 8, for which in particular prefabricated through holes in the transverse struts 5a, b may be present.
  • each connecting unit 3a, b with its two transverse struts 5a, b is a parallelogram of forces.
  • the transverse struts 5a, b preferably consist of a flat material, in particular of steel, optionally of spring steel. From the particular arcuate upwardly curved cross braces 5a, b extend extensions 16a, b at the ends down to the bearing block 7a, b zoom and are pivotally mounted with their free ends on the bearing block 7a, b.
  • the cylindrical rubber elements 8 are with its longitudinal axis parallel to the pivot axes 17a, b in the bearing block 7 extending between the flat transverse struts 5a, b screwed to which they rest with one of their faces.
  • the rubber elements 8 have the same inclination of their rubber axes 9 as the pivot axes 17a, b, and the cross section of the flat crossbars 5a, b and also the extensions 16a, b have a reverse inclination to the skid 2a, b, as they are in the right Angle to the direction of the pivot axes 17a, b and the rubber elements 8 run.
  • the extensions 16a, b of the two transverse struts 5a, b are of different lengths, as also in Fig. 2c to recognize.
  • both transverse struts 5a, b of a connection unit can be stored together, so the two bearing blocks 7a, b for the two transverse struts 5a, b can be summarized in a bearing block 7 respectively.
  • Fig. 2a shows a connection unit from the front, so that the slightly arcuate curved cross member 5a, b is visible from its broad side, with the three holes in this case for possible screwing each of a rubber element 8.
  • Each end of the crossbar 5a, b ends with her attached thereto , in particular integrally formed, extension 16a, b in one of the bearing blocks. 7
  • FIG. 2e shows the connection unit in the same direction as in FIG. 2a , ie from the front, but with bearing blocks 7, which are inclined, ie are deflected to the pivot axes with respect to the transverse struts 5a, b and that are set analogously inclined, as is the case when edge of a winter sports equipment with two skids.
  • the front and rear ends of the binding plate 14a, b are also screwed against the skid 2a, b to hold it on the skid, but the screw head can move along the top of the binding plate 14a, b, for example in a longitudinal groove, which is necessary when the skid 2a, b is bent in the vertical direction, whereby the distance between the middle screw and the front and rear screw can change.
  • the skid 2a, b is not unduly stiffened in its central region and can still be deformed vertically there as well.
  • the connecting units 3a, b are placed in the region in front of and behind the binding on the binding plates 14a, b, if one is present.
  • each bearing block 7 of the connection unit 3a, b can be equipped, so that the connection units 3a, b in the longitudinal direction 10 on the binding plates 14a, b can be pushed and secured at the desired position merely by introducing a vertical clamping screw 13a, b.
  • a binding plate 14a, b is used, in which the pushing forward and back is possible, so that even with already mounted binding jaws 15a, b, the connecting units 3a, b can be postponed and fixed laterally from the front or rear, which a conversion of two individual skids 2 a, b to a inventively connected winter sports equipment and vice versa very fast.
  • Fig. 3 shows a solution in which the transverse struts 5a, b of each connection unit 3a, b are not made of a flat material, but of a round steel, for example, 10 mm in diameter, and the crossbars 5a, b in the central region are not arcuately curved upwards, but are currently trained.
  • the lateral extensions 16a, b down are made in one piece by bending from the same round material.
  • the rubber elements 8 are in this case preferably not screwed through holes in the round material with respect to this, but attached by means of clamping straps or other tools attached thereto, on the one hand screwed to the rubber elements 8 and the other hand clamp on the outer circumference of the round material.
  • the design of the transverse struts 5a, b made of flat material, viewed in the direction of travel 10 is curved in particular, to be preferred, since a deflection in the direction of the long transverse axis is virtually impossible by the elongated cross section of the sheet, in the direction of the short transverse axis against - dependent of dimensioning and choice of material - can be made possible what a spring in the direction of the rubber axles 9 of the rubber elements 8 in addition, and thus a particularly power saving driving with winter sports equipment.
