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.
  • Ski bindings of' the type described above, i.e. those which benefit from the use of' a flexor, are generally well known in the art.
  • United States Patent No. 6,027,135 discloses a cross-country or touring ski binding for cross-country ski boots which have on the front soles thereof, in particular on the front ends of' the soles, complementary engagement members insertable into engagement members of the binding for producing an articulated connection.
  • the engagement members on the soles comprise an articulated pin extending transversely to the longitudinal direction of the ski and substantially parallel to the sole tread, and the complementary engagement members of the binding comprise a holder engaging over the articulated pin and forming a hinge therewith.
  • the holder can be moved from a closing position to a releasing position and vice versa by an actuation lever mounted to be pivotable on the binding.
  • a flexor is operative between the front end of' the sole and the binding or the ski and exerts a restoring force on the boot when the heel thereof is raised from the upper surface of' the ski.
  • the closing and releasing positions of the holder are defined by corresponding locking positions of the actuation lever.
  • the present invention provides a ski binding in accordance with independent claim 1. Further preferred embodiments are given in the dependent claims.
  • the present disclosure relates to providing a ski binding, suitable for cross-country, telemark, touring or roller skiing, with a detachable locking unit which is used for securing the ski boot to the binding.
  • the binding itself is anticipated to essentially be a regular ski binding, albeit one with additional features in and around the binding housing area. More specifically, these features are binding housing recesses and a snap-in flap, all of which act to permit the secure attachment and detachment of a removable locking unit.
  • the locking unit is inserted and removed from the front of the binding, the front being defined as the end nearest the tip of the ski which points in the direction of travel, during normal use.
  • the ski binding and locking unit of the present disclosure provide easy mounting and assembling means for the manufacturer or retailer.
  • the ski binding is slidably attached to the ski, it is also possible for the user to attach and detach the ski binding and locking unit.
  • the entire assembly offers a secure seating arrangement for a ski boot, with unintentional or accidental detachment of the locking unit being extremely unlikely.
  • the user has to replace just the locking unit but not the whole binding.
  • FIG. 1 shows a ski binding 2 separated from its locking unit 10.
  • Figure 2 provides a zoomed-in view on the perspective of Figure 1 , showing locking unit 10 of the preferred embodiment in more detail.
  • Each component is discussed below, along with their resultant synergistic effect.
  • Locking lever 12 is a one-piece moulded component made from the engineering plastic POM (polyoxymethylene).
  • POM polyoxymethylene
  • Locking lever 12 can also consist of a plurality of independent parts which together form the lever, rather than forming a one-piece component.
  • locking lever 12 comprises a hole at its distal end from locking unit 10. This serves two general purposes: firstly, using less material reduces the cost of production and weight of the component; secondly, the hole allows the user of the lever to insert their finger or any other device which affords the user easy operation of' locking lever 12, particularly when unlocking the lever in order to detach the ski boot 3 from the binding 2.
  • the presence of a hole in locking lever 12 is merely a design choice.
  • An equivalent lever comprising fewer or more holes can be conceived without departing from the scope of the current disclosure.
  • the proximal end of' locking lever 12 is rotatably coupled to base plate 20 of mounting unit 18 via first and second locking lever axles 40 and 42.
  • first and second locking lever axles 40 and 42 Upon insertion, the locking lever axles 40 and 42 each pass through a respective hole formed in jaws 22 of' base plate 20, after which the locking ever axles 40 and 42 each pass through a respective hole formed in the proximal end of locking lever 12.
  • Two locking lever axles 40 and 42 form the axis of rotation about which locking lever 12 rotates during its operation.
  • Locking lever axles 40 and 42 not only provide an axis of rotation for locking lever 12, but serve a second purpose of retaining flexor 16 against base plate 20 (see later in the description for a more detailed description surrounding flexor 16).
  • locking lever 12 comprises two further holes adapted to receive the two free ends of locking member 14 (see later in the description for a more detailed description of locking member 14).
  • Each of the holes in this second set is formed in recessed portions of locking lever 12.
  • pre-tensioned locking member 14 is allowed to expand into two recessed areas formed on locking lever 12 when the lever is in its closed or locked position. This expansion exerts a force on a portion of locking member 12 eccentric to its axis of' rotation. A reaction force is experienced by the portion of' locking member 12 opposite to where the expansion force is applied, i.e. 180° around the axis of rotation from where the expansion force is experienced, Part of' this reaction force is dissipated along the axis of rotation.
  • flexor 16 (see Figures 5 to 7 ) is made from rubber and when viewed from above or below, has a generally "I"-shaped form.
  • a deep recess is present along one surface of flexor 16 in order to accommodate locking lever axles 40 and 42.
  • locking lever axles 40 and 42 serve an additional function of keeping flexor 16 flush against base plate 20.
  • flexor 16 comprises a hole formed in one of its generally vertical sides, to allow free passage of locking member 14 during operation of locking unit 10.
  • Flexor 16 comprises grooves cut into its top surface which allow the flexor to compress upon receiving a force from the user's ski boot or shoe 3.
  • the "I"-shape and rubber material composition of flexor 16 are design choices made by the manufacturer.
  • a different shape which is suitable for mounting as a component of locking unit 10 is anticipated, along with different materials for the construction of flexor 16. Rubber is one example of a suitable material, since it exhibits the compressible, elastic properties necessary for the successful operation of' ski binding 2. Other suitable materials are anticipated without departing from the scope of the current embodiment.
  • Base plate 20 forms the body upon which the components of locking member 10 are situated.
  • the majority of base plate 20 is generally flat in shape, with a pair of jaws 22 extending vertically out of' the plane of the ski binding.
  • Each jaw 22 comprises a hole adapted to accommodate one of the two locking lever axles 40 and 42.
  • edge web 24 abuts binding 2, ensuring locking unit 10 is situated in the correct position for the successful operation of the locking unit.
  • edge web 24 exists a hole, similar to the hole found in a vertical wall of flexor 16, allowing free passage of' moveable locking member 14 therethrough. Beneath this hole is edge web protrusion 28, extending parallel to the length of' ski 1 in a direction away from the front side F of' binding 2.
  • Edge web protrusion 28 is receivably engaged in a first binding housing recess 30, formed in ski binding 2 on its housing. The combination of edge web 24 and edge web protrusion 28, cooperating with first binding housing recess 40, provide stability for locking unit 10 when attached to ski binding 2.
  • first and second base plate protrusions 32 and 34 interacting with second and third binding housing recesses 36 and 38.
  • Protrusions 32 and 34 extend away from base plate 20 and away from each other, within the plane of ski binding 2.
  • protrusions 32 and 34 fit snugly into recesses 36 and 38 in addition to edge web protrusion 28 entering the first binding housing recess 30
  • All three protrusions 28, 32, 34, interacting with their corresponding binding housing recesses 30, 36, 38 ensure base plate 20 and, consequently, locking unit 10, are held fast in binding housing 4 against the surface of ski binding 2.
  • base plate 20 is held against the surface of ski binding 2 in binding housing 4 by the above-described protrusions and recesses.
  • protrusions and recesses Formed within the generally flat area of base plate 20 are two features, namely a vertical protrusion and a mounting unit recess 26.
  • the vertical protrusion of base plate 20 extends vertically out of the plane of the ski binding towards the overlying flexor 16.
  • the vertical protrusion contacts a portion of flexor 16 which is situated between the vertical protrusion and edge web 24.
  • the combination of the vertical protrusion and edge web 24 ensure that flexor 16 cannot move undesirably in a direction parallel to that of ski 1. This, in addition to jaws 22 and locking lever axles 40 and 42, prevents flexor 16 from translating in any of the three spatial dimensions without actually using fixatives to keep flexor 16 in place.
  • Mounting unit recess 26 is a hole formed in the generally flat base plate 20. It is sized to accommodate snap-in flap 5 formed on the surface of ski binding 2 (see Figure 3 ). Snap-in flap 5 is formed within ski binding 2 on its housing, the flap being connected to the binding along only one of its four sides. In the preferred embodiment, the connecting side is nearest the front F of' ski binding 2. The connecting side of snap-in flap 5 forms an axis about which snap-in flap 5 is able to move. Upon progressing from the connected side of' snap-in flap 5, connected at the front side F of' binding 2, towards the back of the binding, the flap steadily increases in gradient.
  • the end of the flap has a shear face acting in a direction perpendicular to the plane of ski binding 2 on its bottom wall, respectively.
  • Snap-in flap 5 acts to secure locking unit 10 within binding housing 4 and prevents any movement of the locking unit in the direction of the length of' ski 1. This, coupled with the three binding housing recesses 30, 36 and 38, along with the binding housing itself, prevents locking unit 10 from undergoing any undesired translational movement in any of' the three spatial dimensions.
  • Figure 4 shows locking unit 10 securely fitted to ski binding 2.
  • snap-in flap 5 In order to remove locking unit 10 from its secure location in binding housing 4, snap-in flap 5 must be displaced. By using a screwdriver or other such tool, the user is able to displace snap-in flap 5 into the plane of ski binding 2, thus disengaging snap-in flap 5 and mounting unit recess 26. With snap-in flap 5 displaced, the inside surface of mounting unit recess 26 is no longer contacted by any part of ski binding 2. Resultantly, locking unit 10 is free to slide towards the front F of ski binding 2, out of binding housing 4.
  • Locking member 14 is single-piece, formed metal member, although other possibilities are anticipated, such as using plastics or other materials consisting of one or more parts. In the preferred embodiment, locking member 14 has a generally "U"-shaped structure.
  • locking member 14 The free ends of locking member 14 are bent outwards, pointing away from each other These free ends engage in the second set of holes found in locking lever 12 (see earlier in the description).
  • the sides of the generally "U"-shaped member are pre-tensioned such that the free ends are a nominal distance apart.
  • the free ends of the locking member are forced towards one another.
  • the pre-tensioning of locking member 14 affords extra security to the user of ski binding 2 when locking unit 10 is in its closed or locked position.
  • ski boot axle 44 is cylindrical in shape, a small groove is cut into locking member 14 to allow ski boot axle 44 to rotate in the binding as smoothly as possible.
  • ski binding 2 with a removal locking unit 10, insertable from the front side F of ski binding 2 provides the user with many benefits. Firstly, should any component of locking unit 10 become damaged or broken, locking unit 10 can be removed and mended or replaced without necessitating the user to purchase an entire new binding. Secondly, should ski binding 2 itself become damaged or broken, locking unit 10 can be removed and inserted to a new or repaired ski binding without the user having to purchase a new locking unit. Thirdly, should the type of ski boot axle 44 become popularised in a different shape or form, only the necessity would arise to change locking unit 10 and not the entire ski binding 2.
  • housing guard 46 can be inserted to binding housing 4 (see Figures 5 to 7 ). Housing guard 46 fits snugly around locking unit 10, protecting its components. Housing guard 46 comprises two extending arms which are accommodated within binding housing 4, whilst a second snap-in flap formed at the front side F of' ski binding 2 secures the guard in place. Housing guard 46 is, in the preferred embodiment, made of plastic, although other materials could be used, such as metals or carbon fibre. Figure 7 shows the assembled ski binding, complete with housing guard 46 in place.
