Definitions

  • Cross country or touring skiing is both very popular as a pastime and a competitive sport.
  • the sports' practitioner walks or skis along the flat or slightly sloped course in skis.
  • Several techniques are known in this regard, from simply moving the skis forward whilst maintaining them parallel with each other, or using a technique more similar to ice skating, wherein the skis are pushed out to the side and angled, such that the sports' practitioner is moved forward.
  • the ski boot or shoe of the practitioner In order to allow the sports' practitioner to move efficiently whilst cross-country skiing, it is typical for the ski boot or shoe of the practitioner to be held in a rotatable manner.
  • the ski boot or shoe of the practitioner is provided with a fixing means, often a holding bar or pin forming part of the front or sole of the ski boot or shoe, which is clipped into part of the ski binding.
  • the ski boot or shoe is held only in one place by means of this holding bar or pin, and can thus rotate around the fixing portion provided on the ski binding.
  • the fixing point is provided at the front of the ski boot or shoe, and the heel of the ski boot or shoe can be lifted off the surface of the ski.
  • the sports' practitioner When skiing, the sports' practitioner will typically rotate the boot or shoe relative to the ski, as they propel themselves forward in one of the above standard techniques. It is important, however, that some form of biasing is provided in order to try and reposition the ski boot or shoe such that the heel of the ski boot or shoe (or toe if the rotation point is provided by the heel) is returned into contact with the ski.
  • the ski boot or shoe is rotated around the fixing point, and the other section of the ski boot or shoe is not in contact with the ski, the ski is typically about to the lifted from the ground by the sports' practitioner.
  • the biasing for stopping free rotation of the ski is usually provided by means of a compressible flexor.
  • a compressible flexor is positioned near the rotation point of the ski boot or shoe with the ski binding, in such a position that when the ski boot or shoe rotates in the binding, it compresses the flexor.
  • the flexor will only allow compression so far, before it is completely compressed at which point the ski boot or shoe cannot be rotated further.
  • the maximum compression of the flexor is greater than the typical rotation of the ski boot or shoe, however it is clear that when the flexor is compressed and the ski is removed from the snow and no weight is being used to maintain the rotation, the flexor will begin to bias the ski back into contact with the full sole of the ski boot or shoe. In this way, the sports' practitioner can continue with the next step of the skiing, and position the first ski back on the ground in a satisfactory manner, without losing control of the ski from free rotation.
  • FR2741543A is considered the closest prior art and discloses a binding with a flenor unit according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • the present invention provides a binding with a flexor unit in accordance with independent claim 1. Further preferred embodiments are given in the dependent claims.
  • the axis of rotation thereof is advantageously provided at a point which will coincide with the axis of rotation of the ski boot or shoe in the ski binding. That is, the holding portion for the mounting means of the ski boot or shoe will define the axis of rotation of the rotatably mountable transmission element, so that when the ski boot or shoe is held in the ski binding the axis of rotation of the transmission element and the ski boot or shoe will coincide.
  • This coincidence in the axis of rotation is a particularly useful addition option, as this means that no translational motion between the ski boot or shoe and transmission element will occur when the ski boot or shoe is rotated in the ski binding.
  • the transmission element and the ski boot or shoe will be rotating around the same axis point, and thus will rotate as if joined together.
  • the rotatably mountable transmission element is provided with some form of biasing means to counteract the rotation.
  • the biasing will act so as to rotate the transmission element in such a direction that the ski boot or shoe is returned to full contact with the ski binding and ski.
  • the biasing rotates the transmission element such that it would rotate the ski boot or shoe around its fixing point and axis of rotation to return the non-fixed part of the ski boot or shoe, usually the heel, into contact with the ski binding.
  • this can be structured by means of an extended portion or lever structure.
  • This extended portion would extend away from the axis of rotation of the transmission element, and provide the general surface against which the ski boot or shoe of the practitioner will act.
  • the transmission element is intended to interact with the section of the ski boot or shoe near to the mounting portion of the ski boot or shoe, i.e. the toes or heel of the practitioner.
  • a further advantageous feature is the provision of a guide slot within the flexor unit which interacts with a protrusion on the rotatable transmission element.
  • a further advantage of providing a protrusion and slot configuration to the transmission element and flexor unit is that the amount of rotation of the flexor can be limited. If the slot is provided with a defined length, the protrusion will strike the ends of the slot and rotation will be stopped. This could be used to specifically define the amount of rotation of transmission element in the flexor unit, and could be used to improve the rotation of the ski boot or shoe relative to the ski binding.
  • a lip or curved lips could generally position the fixing and mounting pin of the ski boot or shoe relative to the transmission element and fixing portion of the ski binding. Additionally, if a curve is provided on the curved lip which matches the curve of the pin mounting the ski boot or shoe onto the ski binding, additional translational motion between the transmission element and ski boot or shoe can be avoided.
  • the biasing means by either a compression means which act to push against the transmission element and rotates this in the appropriate direction, or by a means under tension, which are stretched with this rotation. If a compression means is provided, then such compression means could act against an appropriate bearing surface of the transmission element, and thus lead to the rotation of the transmission element in order to reposition the ski boot or shoe in contact with the ski binding.
  • the compressive element could be provided by means of a spring; a foam or rubber compression element; or a compressible fluid cylinder.
  • a spring a foam or rubber compression element
  • a compressible fluid cylinder a compressible fluid cylinder.
  • Each of these act in the same way, in that after compression, by means of the bearing surface pushing against the biasing means and compressing them, a restorative force in the biasing means will be generated to push against the rotation.
  • this transmission piece or block is provided by a rubber bung or block, a slight damping and cushioning of the motion of the transmission elements during rotation would be achieved. In particular, this would improve the comfort to the user by avoiding sudden jolts transmitted from the biasing means through the transmission elements to the ski boot or shoe.
  • biasing means be provided by a compressible spring
  • a further option is to provide a compressible rubber or foam block within the hollow central portion of the spring.
  • the orifice in which compressible biasing means are provided with an adjustable length By adjusting the length of the orifice, perhaps by means of a rotatable screw thread cap acting within the interior of the orifice, the base and normal compressive force acting on the biasing means can be changed. By shortening the length of the orifice, the biasing means will be maintained under higher compressive pressure, thus leading to a change in the characteristics of the restorative force by means of these biasing means. This could be advantageous if a variety of different users require use of the flexor unit, and need different biasing forces to act against the rotation of the transmission elements.
  • this adjustable length orifice could be provided by means of a moveable cap at one end of the orifice, which has a screw thread interacting within an interior screw thread of the orifice. Rotation of the cap will lead to a movement of the cap within the orifice, such that the length of the orifice would be adjusted to be either longer or shorter.
  • the flexor unit can be positioned in a removable manner into a ski binding, perhaps by means of some snap fit connection. That is, a section of the ski binding is provided with a deformable clip, which is deformed as the flexor unit is positioned into the ski binding and then snaps closed and stops the disengagement of the flexor unit until the bendable member is re-bent by hand.
  • the ski binding would advantageously have a standard fixing mechanism for holding the axis of rotation of the ski boot or shoe. That is, the ski binding will normally have a clip of some sort for holding the mounting and holding the pin of the ski boot or shoe.
  • the ski binding would advantageously be structured such that this holding element interacted with the flexor unit, such that the axis of rotation of the mounting pin of the ski boot or shoe and thus of these holding means on the ski binding coincides with the axis of rotation of the transmission element of the flexor unit.
  • the ski binding will hold the ski boot or shoe at the appropriate point on the transmission element, and the transmission element and ski boot and shoe can rotate as one.
  • Figure 1 shows a cut-away section through the centre of a flexor unit 10 of the present disclosure, as well as surrounding sections of a ski binding.
  • the ski binding comprises no specific features particularly different from those generally associated with a ski binding in the art.
  • Figure 2 shows a perspective cut-away drawing of the flexor unit 10 and the ski binding. Whilst not shown, the ski binding is oriented upward in Figures 1 and 2 , and thus the ski binding would fix on its underside with a ski, not shown.
  • ski boots or shoes for use in cross-country or touring skis are typically provided with some form of fastening means for fastening to the ski binding 2 of the touring or cross-country ski.
  • the mounting section of the ski boot or shoe must allow ready rotation of the ski boot or shoe around the mounting point, whilst also firmly fixing the ski to the ski boot or shoe.
  • ski boots or shoes suitable for cross-country or touting skiing are generally provided with a mounting and holding pin acting as a pivot axis 4, which is positioned at the front (or sometimes rear) portion of the ski boot or shoe 3 toward or in the lower surface thereof.
  • This mounting and holding pin releasably attaches to the ski binding, usually my means of a manually operated holding mechanism of the ski binding 2. It is most common, that the mounting and holding pin on the ski boot or shoe fits into a slot of the holding mechanism, and then the user of the ski closes off the end of the slot to stop the dismounting of the mounting and holding out of the slot of the holding mechanism. Mounting the ski boot or shoe in such a manner allows the ski boot or shoe to be held in a rotatable manner in the holding mechanism, which is vital for the continued operation of the ski, as the ski boot or shoe must be able to rotate such that the heel (or toe) of the ski boot or shoe can leave contact with the ski binding or ski.
  • the flexor unit 10 is located on the ski binding such that the flexor unit 10 provides the same effects as a standard flexor well known in the art.
  • the front (or rear) portion of the ski boot or shoe interacts with a flexor, which tends to oppose the rotational moment of the ski boot or shoe.
  • the flexor will act to rotate the ski around the mounting and holding pin such that the ski will try and rotate back into contact with the non-connected part of the ski boot or shoe.
  • the ski boot or shoe has a mounting and holding pin at the toe end of the ski boot or shoe, although the present disclosure is equally applicable to operation with a ski boot or shoe with its point of rotation at the heel end thereof.
  • the present disclosure is related to providing a biased rotatable alternative.
  • the flexor unit 10 comprises a rotatably mountable transmission element 20, which will be situated near the holding mechanism of the ski binding.
  • This rotatably mountable transmission element 20 interacts with the ski boot or shoe when this is engaged in the holding mechanism, and will contact the front or rear portion of the ski boot or shoe, as required.
  • the rotatably mountable transmission element 20 of the current disclosure is also advantageously provided with a holding portion 27, which is designed to receive the mounting and holding pin of the ski boot or shoe.
  • the holding portion 27 is provided by means of a curved lip 25, which provides an appropriately sized and shaped recess for receiving the mounting and holding pin 5 of the ski boot or shoe.
  • This is by way of example only, and any shape of holding portion 27 is conceivable, as long as it allows for the mounting and holding pin of the ski boot or shoe to be accepted and appropriately positioned.
  • the holding portion 27 of the rotatably mountable transmission element 20 provides an inner surface which roughly follows the shape of the holding mechanism of the ski binding shoe.
  • the mounting and holding pin of the ski boot or shoe will fit within the slot of the holding mechanism, and then will be appropriately held in place by closing off the slot as discussed above.
  • the mounting and holding pin of the ski boot or shoe is also held within the holding portion 27 of the rotatably mountable transmission element 20.
  • the rotatably mountable transmission element 20 is sized and shaped, such that the front (or rear) portion of the ski boot or shoe rests against the rotatably mountable transmission element 20.
  • the ski boot or shoe When in use, the ski boot or shoe rotates around the mounting and holding pin positioned in the holding mechanism, and also causes the rotatably mountable transmission element 20 to rotate. This is a result of the ski boot or shoe being in contact with the rotatably mountable transmission element 20.
  • the axis of rotation of the rotatably mountable transmission element 20 coincides exactly with the axis of rotation 4 of the boot or shoe as defined by the mounting and holding pin.
  • the rotatably mountable transmission element 20 must provide some biasing force attempting to reposition the ski boot or shoe back into contact with the ski. In the present disclosure, this is achieved by biasing means 30 forming part of the flexor unit 10.
  • the biasing means 30 of the flexor unit 10 are numerous in design. As is shown in the figures, the biasing means 30 are acting to push the rotatable mountable transmission element 20 in the appropriate direction for biasing the ski boot or shoe into contact with the ski. Obviously, as the rotatably mountable transmission element 20 is rotating, it is equally possible to provide biasing means 30 which pull the rotatably mountable transmission element 20 to effect rotation in the desired manner.
  • the biasing means 30 centre more on the pushing options rather than the pulling options.
  • the lower portion of the rotatably mountable transmission element 20 is provided with a bearing surface 26, upon which the biasing means 30 act.
  • the bearing surface 26 below the rotation axis 21 of the rotatably mountable transmission element 20, the pushing against this bearing surface 26 will rotate the transmission element 20 in the appropriate direction for biasing the ski boot or shoe 3 into contact with ski 1.
  • the bearing surface 26 as shown in the figures could be provided by some form of hook, with a tension biasing means 30 attached to such a hook.
  • biasing means 30 In the compression type of biasing means 30, as shown in the figures, a variety of different means 30 are envisaged. Again, a spring element could be provided, wherein the spring element is compressed by the rotation of the rotatably mountable transmission element 20 acting through the bearing surface 26. Obviously, this will then lead to the spring element attempting to return to its original length, thus pushing against the bearing surface 26 and rotating the rotatably mountable transmission element 20. It is also possible to provide the biasing means 30 by means of a foam or rubber compression element. This would also act in the same way as the spring element described above. Finally, another option would be that of a compressible fluid cylinder.
  • a rotation of the rotatably mountable transmission element 20 leads to compression of any of the above elements, which will then fight against the compression and lead to the return of the rotatably mountable transmission element 20, so as to reposition the ski boot or shoe into contact with the ski.
  • the removable flexor unit 10 prefferably be provided with an extended orifice 13, into which one of the above described biasing means 30 is located. Such an extended orifice 13 will avoid any translational motion of the biasing means 30, thus leading to a reliable system.
  • a force transmission block31 This could be of any material, although advantageously a material with a little compressive capability is advantageous, as this will tend to lead to a little more play in the system, which will also provide a sort of damping in the motion of the rotatably mountable transmission element 20, and a more comfortable feel to the user.
  • the force transmission block 31 it is also possible to provide a more resilient material, so as to give a more direct sensation to the user of the ski.
  • a rotatable plug 14 At the end of the extended orifice 13 which is not provided with the rotatable mountable transmission element 20, is located a rotatable plug 14.
  • This rotatable plug 14 can be used to increase or decrease the compression force on the biasing means 30, when a compressive element is being used.
  • the resistance to rotation of the rotatably mountable transmission element 20 can also be adjusted, thus allowing the user of the ski to determine desirable characteristics of the flexor unit 10. For example, if the rotatable plug 14 were to be provided with a screw thread which matched a screw thread on the interior of the extended orifice 13, rotation of the rotatable plug 14 will lead to it to moving within the extended orifice 13.
  • the length of the extended orifice 13 can be adjusted, and the general compression of the biasing means 30 changed. It would also be possible to provide the rotatable plug 14 with a moveable element, which upon rotation of the rotatable plug 14 moved along the interior of the extended orifice 13 thus shortening or lengthening it. In the removable flexor unit 10 of the present disclosure, it is clear that if the rotatable plug 14 could be removed, access to the extended orifice 13 is allowed. At this point, it would be possible then to change the spring element, foam or rubber compression element or compressible fluid cylinder, thus giving a second mechanism of changing the strength of the biasing force from the biasing means 30.
  • a further bumper element could be located within the extended orifice 13. Having a bumper element located within the central hollow section of the spring element, would lead to a damping of the compression of the spring element with rotation of the rotatably mountable transmission element 20. In such a way, towards the end of the rotation of the rotatably mountable transmission element 20, the motion could be damped and lead to a gentle increase in the biasing force, thus leading to a soft stop to the rotation of the rotatably mountable transmission element 20. Obviously, this damping and provision of a bumper element leads to a cushioning to the final motion of the rotatably mountable transmission element 20, and improved comfort for the user.
  • the rotatably mountable transmission element 20 may have an extended portion 22 extending away from the axis of rotation 21 of the rotatably mountable transmission element 20.
  • This extended portion 22 is intended to be the lever on against which the ski boot or shoe 3 pushes, thus affecting the rotation of the rotatably mountable transmission element 20.
  • a contacting surface 23 is provided on the extended portion 22, which will be used by the ski boot or shoe for pressing against the extended portion 22 to give the rotation. It is advantageous if the contacting surface 23 is always in contact with the front of rear portion of the ski boot or shoe, and so the extended portion 22 can be designed and angled with this in mind.
  • FIG. 2 An advantageous element shown in Figure 2 is that of a guide slot 11 provided in the flexor unit 10.
  • This guide slot 11 is designed to interact with a protrusion 23 provided on the rotatable mountable transmission element 20.
  • a protrusion 24 and guide slot 11 allows for the rotational movement of the rotatably mountable transmission element 20 to be controlled and improved.
  • Fixing the protrusion 24 within the guide slot 11 will appropriately guide the rotation of the rotatably mountable transmission element 20 around the axis of rotation 21, and will also stop the rotatably mountable transmission element 20 from wobbling from side to side when rotating.
  • Figure 2 shows the cross-section actually through the guide slot 11, and obviously the guide slot 11 has two side walls stopping the wobble of the rotatably mountable transmission element 20.
  • Another advantage of providing the protrusion 24 and guide slot 11, is that the amount of rotation of the rotatably mountable transmission element 20 can be controlled therewith.
  • the protrusion 24 within the guide slot 11 will reach the ends 12 of the guide slot 11, and thus the rotation of the rotatably mountable transmission element 20 can be limited and stopped therewith. This will stop over rotation of the rotatably mountable transmission element 20, whilst also ensuring that under the stresses and strains of the use of the flexor unit 10 the rotatably mountable transmission element 20 does not become disengaged.
  • the maximum amount of rotation of the rotatably mountable transmission element 20 can be fixed.
  • the back surface of the extended portion 22 will come into contact with a surface provided at the appropriate point of the removal flexor unit 10; this stopping surface 17 literally stops the rotational motion of the rotatably mountable transmission element 20.
  • the maximum rotation of the rotatably mountable transmission element 20 be approximately 45° from the normal position, determined by when the ski boot or shoe is not pressing against the extended portion 22 of the rotatably mountable transmission element 20, and the point after rotation wherein the extended portion 22 is resting against the holding portion 27 and/or the protrusion 24 is abutted against the end 12 of the guide slot 11.
  • a rotation angle of 45° is appropriate for a rotatably mountable transmission element 20 of the present disclosure, and is a significant improvement on the current flexor technology. Further, this additional rotation allowance improves the action of the skier, as it is possible to get the rear end of the ski further forward when practising cross-country or touring skiing.
  • biasing means 30 which increase the restorative force on the rotatably mountable transmission element 20 with increased rotation. By contrast, if so desired biasing means 30 with a constant restorative force may be used.
  • the binding for the ski is generally the same as normal bindings for skis. Obviously, however, it is necessary for the binding to be structured to allow the integration of the flexor unit 10.
  • a particularly useful feature of the present disclosure is that the ski binding may be provided with an appropriate connection point to allow the flexor unit 10 to be removably attached and subsequently removed from the ski binding. This advantageously allows for the user of the ski to have a variety of different removable flexor units 10, perhaps with preset biasing forces already chosen, such that it is an easy matter to swap the removable flexor unit 10 as desired. It is a further advantage if the flexor unit 10 fix within the ski binding in a snap fit manner, such that specific tools are not required for changing the removable flexor unit 10.
  • the removable flexor unit 10 can be slotted and fixed within the ski binding are particularly advantageous, as this readily allows a variety of different removable flexor unit 10 to be used in the same ski binding.
  • the flexor unit 10 could be simply a part of the ski binding.
  • the rotatably mountable transmission element 20 may be changeable. As is clear, this particular element will suffer from the most wear during use of the removable flexor unit 10, and thus allowing the rotatably mountable transmission element 20 to be snap fitted into the removable flexor unit 10, will lead to an improvement in the removable flexor unit 10. If, for example, the extended portion 22 were to be damaged, it would be a relatively straightforward matter to interchange the rotatably mountable transmission element 20.
  • the flexor unit 10 of the present disclosure is the provision of the rotatably mountable transmission element 20 to replace the standard flexor of a normal ski binding.
  • this rotatably mountable transmission element 20 have an axis of rotation which coincides with the axis of rotation of the ski boot or shoe, such that the ski boot or shoe does not translationally move relative to the rotatably mountable transmission element 20.
  • This is most easily achieved by providing the holding portion 27 for the mounting and holding pin, or other mechanism of fixing on the boot or shoe, to coincide with the axis of rotation 4 of the ski boot or shoe.
  • providing the biasing means 30 will ensure that the required force for rotating the ski back into contact with the ski boot or shoe is obtained.
