Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf eine Skibindung mit einem zehenseitigen und einem fersenseitigen Schuh- bzw. Sohlenhalteraggregat sowie einer skifest angeordneten oder anbringbaren, in Skilängsrichtung erstreckten Schienenanordnung, in die die Schuh- bzw. Sohlenhalteraggregate längsverschiebbar einsetzbar oder bereits eingesetzt sind.The invention relates to a ski binding with a toe-side and a heel-side shoe or Sohlenhalteraggregat and a skifest arranged or attachable, extended in the ski longitudinal rail assembly into which the shoe or Sohlenhalteraggregate are longitudinally displaceable used or already used.

Auf dem Markt werden Ski mit in die Skistruktur integrierten Schienenanordnungen angeboten, die zur längsverstellbaren Aufnahme von entsprechend angepassten Schuh- bzw. Sohlenhalteraggregaten dienen. Der Vorteil einer solchen Konstruktion liegt vor allem darin, dass die Schuh- bzw. Sohlenhalteraggregate eines Typs ohne aufwändige Montagemaßnahmen gegen entsprechende Aggregate eines anderen Typs ausgetauscht werden können. Darüber hinaus lässt sich der Längsabstand zwischen dem zehenseitigen und dem fersenseitigen Schuh- bzw. Sohlenhalteraggregat auch nachträglich leicht zur Anpassung an unterschiedliche Sohlenlängen der Skischuhe abändern. Insbesondere ist vorteilhaft, dass zur Fixierung der Schuh- bzw. Sohlenhalteraggregate am Ski keinerlei Bohrungen zur Aufnahme von Befestigungsschrauben oder dergleichen angeordnet werden müssen, wobei die Befestigungsschrauben nur mit begrenztem Drehmoment angezogen werden dürfen, um eine Beschädigung der Skistruktur zu vermeiden. Schließlich ist vorteilhaft, dass derartige Skibindungen eine gute Kraftübertragung zwischen Skischuh und Ski gewährleisten.On the market, skis are provided with rail arrangements integrated in the ski structure, which serve for the longitudinally adjustable accommodation of suitably adapted shoe or sole holder units. The advantage of such a construction lies above all in the fact that the shoe or sole holder assemblies of one type can be replaced without complex assembly measures against corresponding units of another type. In addition, the longitudinal distance between the toe-side and the heel-side shoe or sole holder unit can also be subsequently modified easily to adapt to different sole lengths of the ski boots. In particular, it is advantageous that no holes for receiving fastening screws or the like must be arranged on the ski for fixing the shoe or Sohlenhalteraggregate, the fastening screws may be tightened only with limited torque in order to avoid damage to the ski structure. Finally, it is advantageous that such ski bindings ensure good power transmission between ski boot and ski.

Zur Fixierung der Schuh- bzw. Sohlenhalteraggregate in Schienen- bzw. Skilängsrichtung können an den Schienen Ausnehmungen vorgesehen sein, die mit an den Schuh- bzw. Sohlenhalteraggregaten angeordneten Riegelelementen, wie zum Beispiel Stiften oder dergleichen, zusammenwirken. Hier besteht grundsätzlich das Problem möglicher Falschmontagen bzw. möglicher gefährlicher Manipulationen.To fix the shoe or sole holder units in the rail or ski longitudinal direction recesses may be provided on the rails, which cooperate with arranged on the shoe or sole holder units locking elements, such as pins or the like. In principle, there is the problem of possible incorrect assembly or possible dangerous manipulation.

Das Verbindungselement kann ein hochfestes Zugorgan, beispielsweise ein Seil oder eine Kette, sein. Für den Fall, dass mit dem Versteifungsteil Zug- und Schubkräfte zur gemeinsamen axialen Verstellung der Fersenbacke und der Vorderbacke übertragen werden sollen, werden beiden Backen mit dem Verbindungselement über Schraubverbindungen verbunden. Dabei ist das Verbindungselement so steif ausgeführt, dass sich ein Abstand zwischen den beiden daran befestigten Elementen bei einer Zug- oder Schubbelastung nicht verändert. Aus der DE 43 25 892 A1 ist eine Kontroll- und/oder Steuervorrichtung für eine Skibindung bekannt. Dabei sind der Vorderbacken und der Fersenbacken über ein bandförmiges Verbindungselement bewegungsverbunden Bei einer gemeinsamen axialen Verschiebung des Vorderbackens und des Fersenbackens auf dem Ski, hält das Verbindungselement einen Abstand zwischen dem Vorderbacken und dem Fersenbacken unverändert.From the DE 10 2006 033 345 A1 is known a ski binding, with a toe and a heel jaw and a connecting element that connects the toe with the heel piece, so that both can be adjusted together axially on the ski. The connecting element may be a high-tensile tension member, for example a rope or a chain. In the event that the stiffening member tensile and shear forces to be transmitted to the common axial adjustment of the heel block and the toe, both jaws are connected to the connecting element via screw. In this case, the connecting element is designed so stiff that a distance between the two elements attached thereto does not change in a tensile or shear load. From the DE 43 25 892 A1 is known a control and / or control device for a ski binding. In the case of a common axial displacement of the toe and the heel piece on the ski, the connecting element keeps a distance between the toe piece and the heel piece unchanged.

Deshalb ist es eine Aufgabe der Erfindung, eine "narrensicher" montierbare und handhabbare Skibindung zu schaffen.It is therefore an object of the invention to provide a "foolproof" mountable and manageable ski binding.

Die Aufgabe wird bei einer Skibindung der eingangs angegebenen Art erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, dass eines der Schuh- bzw. Sohlenhalteraggregate skifest oder schienenfest arretierbar und das andere Schuh- bzw. Sohlenhalteraggregat am arretierbaren Schuh- bzw. Sohleniaalteraggregat mittels eines Zugglieds fixiert oder fixierbar ist. Im Folgenden wird für Schuh- bzw. Sohlenhalteraggregat stellvertretend auch nur noch von Schuhhalteraggregat gesprochen.The object is achieved in a ski binding of the type specified according to the invention that one of the shoe or Sohlenhalteraggregate skifest or rail arrestable and the other shoe or Sohlenhalteraggregat on lockable shoe or Sohleniaalteraggregat is fixed or fixable by means of a tension member. The following is spoken for shoe or sole holder unit representative only synonymous of shoe holder unit.

Die Erfindung beruht auf dem Gedanken, mittels eines die beiden Schuhhalteraggregate verbindenden Zugglieds ein vormontierbares Ensemble zu schaffen, welches durch schienen- bzw. skifeste Arretierung eines der beiden Schuhhalteraggregate nach Einsetzen des Ensembles in die Schienenanordnung gebrauchsfertig am Ski montiert werden kann.The invention is based on the idea of creating a pre-assembled ensemble by means of a tension member connecting the two shoe holder assemblies, which can be mounted ready for use on the ski by inserting the ensemble into the rail arrangement by rail or ski lock of one of the two shoe holder assemblies.

In bevorzugten Ausführungen koppelt das Zugglied die Schuhhalteraggregate so miteinander, dass sie in Längsrichtung des Skis öder der Schienenanordnung, also axial, gemeinsam hin und her verstellbar sind, vorzugsweise relativ zur Schienenanordnung, um die axiale Position der Schuhhaiteraggregate und somit die Position eines zwischen denselben gehaltenen Skischuhs relativ zum Ski verstellen zu können. Das Zugglied ist mittels eines oder mehrerer Versteifungsmittel versteift, um bei der gemeinsamen Verstellung auch als Schubglied wirken zu können.In preferred embodiments, the tension member couples the shoe support assemblies together so that they are adjustable in the longitudinal direction of the ski or the rail assembly, ie axially, back and forth, preferably relative to the rail assembly to the axial position of the Schuhhaiteraggregate and thus the position of a held between the same Ski boot relative to the ski can adjust. The tension member is stiffened by means of one or more stiffening means to act in the common adjustment as a pushing member can.

Das Versteifungsteil kann als axialer Anschlag wirken, um die Schubhalteraggregate axial stets auf Abstand voneinander zu halten oder auch nur um axiale Schubkräfte für eine gemeinsame Verstellung übertragen zu können. Ein flexibles Zugglied kann eine Schlinge für eine Kopplung mit einem der Schuhhalteraggregate bilden, vorzugsweise dem arretierbaren Schuhhalteraggregat. Dies schließt auch den Fall ein, dass das Zugglied als Schlinge gebildet ist. Die Schlinge kann insbesondere eine Draht- oder Drahtseilschlinge sein. Ein Kraft übertragendes Material wie beispielsweise ein Drahtseil kann in ein Hüllmaterial eingebettet oder mit einem Schlauch umhüllt sein.The stiffening member may act as an axial stop to axially keep the thrust bearing assemblies at a distance from each other or even to transmit axial thrust forces for a common adjustment can. A flexible tension member may form a loop for coupling with one of the shoe holder assemblies, preferably the lockable shoe holder assembly. This also includes the case that the tension member is formed as a loop. The loop may in particular be a wire or cable loop. A force transmitting material such as a wire rope may be embedded in a wrapping material or wrapped with a tube.

Erfindungsgemäß bildet ein Draht oder Drahtseil oder ein Seil ausreichender Festigkeit aus anderem Material das Zugglied das Zugglied kann jedoch auch aus mehreren Komponenten zusammengesetzt sein, die unterschiedliche Funktionen erfüllen. Eine erste Funktionskomponente kann die genannte Schlinge bilden. Das genannte Versteifungsteil kann ebenfalls eine solche Funktionskomponente sein. Als weiteres Beispiel ist die Abstützung einer Anschubfeder zu nennen, die eines der Schuhhalteraggregate in Richtung auf das andere mit ihrer Federkraft beaufschlagt. Das Zugglied oder die Zuggliedanordnung kann in Ausübung dieser Abstützfunktion ein Widerlager für die Anschubfeder bilden.According to the invention forms a wire or wire rope or a rope of sufficient strength of other material, the tension member but the tension member can also be composed of several components, the different Fulfill functions. A first functional component may form said loop. The said stiffening part may also be such a functional component. As another example, the support of a starting spring is mentioned, which acts on one of the shoe holder assemblies in the direction of the other with its spring force. The tension member or the Zuggliedanordnung can form an abutment for the starting spring in the exercise of this support function.

Gemäß einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform kann vorgesehen sein, dass das Zugglied an der skiseitigen Unterseite der Schuhhalteraggregate formschlüssig ankuppelbar und der Formschluss bei in das Schienenaggregat eingesetzten Schuhhalteraggregaten zwangsgesichert ist. Bei dieser Anordnung kann das geringe Maß des Vertikalabstandes zwischen Skioberseite und Unterseite der Schuhhalteraggregate zur Sicherung der Verbindung zwischen dem Zugelement und den Schuhhalteraggregaten genutzt werden.According to a preferred embodiment, it can be provided that the tension member can be positively coupled to the ski-side underside of the shoe-holder assemblies and that the form-fitting is positively secured against force when the shoe-holder assemblies are inserted into the rail assembly. In this arrangement, the small amount of vertical distance between Skioberseite and bottom of the shoe holder assemblies can be used to secure the connection between the tension element and the shoe holder assemblies.

Zur Anpassung an unterschiedliche Sohlenlänge der Skischuhe können gemäß einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform der Erfindung unterschiedliche Befestigungspositionen des Zugglieds an den Schuhhalteraggregaten oder auch unterschiedlich lange Zugglieder vorgesehen sein.To adapt to different sole length of the ski boots can be provided according to a preferred embodiment of the invention, different attachment positions of the tension member to the shoe holder assemblies or different lengths of tension members.

Es besteht die Möglichkeit, in das Zugglied und/oder dessen Befestigungselemente an den Schuhhalteraggregaten eine Anschubfederung zu integrieren, durch die gewährleistet werden kann, dass die Schuhhalteraggregate auch bei Flexbewegungen des Skis mit vorgegebener, begrenzter Andruckkraft am jeweiligen Ende des Schuhs bzw. der Skischuhsohle anliegen.It is possible to integrate in the tension member and / or its fastening elements on the shoe holder assemblies a start-up suspension, can be ensured by the fact that the shoe holder assemblies rest against the respective end of the shoe or the ski boot sole even with flexing of the ski with predetermined, limited pressure force ,

Die Bindung umfasst in bevorzugten Ausführungen ein Verstellorgan zum Verstellen der axialen Position des arretierbaren Schuhhalteraggregats relativ zum Ski, vorzugsweise relativ zur Schienenanordnung. Das Verstellorgan kann von der Schienenanordnung oder dem Ski oder dem arretierbaren Schuhhalteraggregat oder dem Zugglied verstellbeweglich gelagert, insbesondere axial abgestützt werden. Wird es von der Schienenanordnung oder einer separat von dieser am Ski befestigten oder befestigbaren Lagereinrichtung gelagert, kann es zum Verstellen mit dem Schuhhalteraggregat oder dem Zugglied in einem Verstelleingriff so gekoppelt sein, dass eine Verstellbewegung des Verstellorgans die axiale Positionsveränderung des arretierbaren Schuhhalteraggregats bewirkt. Wird es von dem Schuhhalteraggregat oder dem Zugglied gelagert, kann es zum Verstellen mit der Schienenanordnung oder einer separat von dieser am Ski befestigten oder befestigbaren Eingriffseinrichtung in einem Verstelleingriff so gekoppelt sein, dass eine Verstellbewegung des Verstellorgans die axiale Positionsveränderung des arretierbaren Schuhhalteraggregats bewirkt.The binding comprises in preferred embodiments, an adjusting member for adjusting the axial position of the lockable shoe holder assembly relative to the ski, preferably relative to the rail assembly. The adjusting member can be movably mounted, in particular axially supported, by the rail arrangement or the ski or the lockable shoe holder assembly or the tension member. If it is supported by the rail arrangement or a separate from this attached to the ski or mountable storage device, it may be coupled for adjustment with the shoe holder assembly or the tension member in an adjustment so that an adjustment of the adjustment causes the axial position change of the lockable shoe holder assembly. If it is stored by the shoe holder assembly or the tension member, it can be adjusted with the Rail arrangement or a separate from this attached to the ski or fastened engagement means in an adjustment be coupled so that an adjustment of the adjustment causes the axial position change of the lockable shoe holder assembly.

Das Verstellorgan kann mit der Schienenanordnung oder separaten Lagereinrichtung oder aber mit dem arretierbaren Schuhhalteraggregat oder Zugglied direkt in dem Verstelleingriff sein. In alternativen Ausführungen ist es über ein oder mehrere Koppelglied(er) mit dem der jeweils nicht lagernden Einrichtung, beispielsweise dem Zugglied, gekoppelt und mit dem einzigen Koppelglied oder einem von mehreren oder auch mehreren Koppelgliedern gleichzeitig unmittelbar in dem Verstelleingriff.The adjustment can be with the rail assembly or separate storage device or with the lockable shoe holder assembly or tension member directly in the adjustment. In alternative embodiments, it is via one or more coupling member (s) with the respective non-stocking device, such as the tension member, coupled and with the single coupling member or one of several or more coupling members simultaneously directly in the adjustment.

Das Verstellorgan ist vorzugsweise drehverstellbar. In ersten Ausführungen ist seine Drehachse parallel zur Längsrichtung des Skis oder der Schienenanordnung. In zweiten, für die Verstellung günstigen Ausführungen weist die Drehachse schräg zur Längsrichtung nach vorne oben, im montierten Zustand in Richtung auf die Skispitze nach oben. In beiden Ausführungen ist es vorzugsweise von vorne der Betätigung, d. h. der Drehverstellung, zugänglich.The adjusting member is preferably rotationally adjustable. In first embodiments, its axis of rotation is parallel to the longitudinal direction of the ski or the rail arrangement. In the second version, which is favorable for the adjustment, the axis of rotation points obliquely to the longitudinal direction to the front in the upward direction, in the assembled state in the direction of the ski tip upwards. In both embodiments, it is preferably from the front of the actuator, d. H. the rotational adjustment, accessible.

In dritten Ausführungen ist es um eine zur Oberfläche des Skis zumindest im Wesentlichen orthogonale Drehachse, also eine Hochachse, drehverstellbar und weist an einer Oberseite eine Kupplungshälfte für einen Kupplungseingriff mit einem Skistock oder einer vergleichbaren Steighilfe auf, wobei die Kupplungshälfte des Verstellorgans so geformt ist, dass im Kupplungseingriff ein für die Drehverstellung erforderliches Drehmoment durch Formschluss übertragbar ist. Wenn von einem Skistock oder einer Skistockspitze die Rede ist, sollen stockartige sonstige Steighilfen und deren Spitzen stets umfasst sein. Die Kupplungshälfte weicht in einem im Kupplungseingriff Drehmoment übertragenden, zur Hochachse orthogonalen Querschnitt daher von der kreisrunden Form ab. Sie ist so geformt, dass der Skifahrer bei angeschnalltem Ski die von der Skistockspitze gebildete Kupplungsgegenhälfte durch eine zumindest im Wesentlichen orthogonal zur Oberfläche des Skis weisende Kupplungsbewegung in den Kupplungseingriff bringen und das Verstellorgan anschließend einfach durch Drehen des Skistocks um dessen Längsachse verdrehen kann.In third embodiments, it is about an axis of rotation of the ski at least substantially orthogonal, ie a vertical axis, rotatable and has on a top a coupling half for a clutch engagement with a ski pole or a comparable climbing aid, wherein the coupling half of the adjusting member is shaped so that in the clutch engagement a torque required for the rotational adjustment by positive engagement is transferable. When talking about a ski pole or a ski pole top, sticklike other climbing aids and their tips should always be included. The coupling half therefore deviates from the circular shape in a cross-section that is orthogonal to the vertical axis in a coupling engagement that transmits torque. It is shaped so that the skier with buckled ski bring the coupling half formed by the ski pole top by a pointing at least substantially orthogonal to the surface of the ski clutch movement in the clutch engagement and then simply rotate the adjusting member by rotating the ski pole about its longitudinal axis.

Das Verstellorgan ist vorzugsweise außerhalb eines zwischen den Schuhhalteraggregaten verbleibenden Zwischenraums angeordnet. Es kann hinter dem fersenseitige Schuhhalteraggregat angeordnet sein, vorzugsweise so, dass es bei angeschnalltem Ski trotz der bei solcher Anordnung erforderlichen Körperdrehung des Skifahrers noch immer sicher und bequem mit der Skistockspitze erreichbar ist. Das Verstellorgan kann auch unmittelbar an oder auf einem der Schuhhalteraggregate, vorzugsweise dem zehenseitigen Schuhhalteraggregat angeordnet sein. Schließlich kann es stattdessen vor dem zehenseitigen Schuhhalteraggregat angeordnet sein, zweckmäßigerweise in einem geringen Abstand, so dass die sich ergebende Koppiungsstreeke bis zum zehenseitigen Schuhhalteraggregat möglichst kurz ist, seine Kupplungshälfte andererseits aber ohne Behinderung durch das zehenseitige Sohlenhalteraggregat für einen aufrecht stehenden Skifahrer von oben zugänglich ist, um den Kupplungseingriff mit dem Skistock bequem herstellen zu können. Das Verstellorgan der dritten Ausführungen, insbesondere dessen Kupplungshälfte, ist vorteilhafterweise so angeordnet und geformt, dass bei seiner Bedienung zumindest im Wesentlichen nur Torsionskräfte auf den Skistock wirken.The adjusting member is preferably arranged outside of a gap remaining between the shoe holder assemblies. It may be arranged behind the heel-side shoe holder assembly, preferably in such a way that it can still be reached safely and comfortably with the ski-boot tip despite the body twist of the skier required in such an arrangement with the ski fastened. The adjusting member can also be arranged directly on or on one of the shoe holder assemblies, preferably the toe-side shoe holder assembly. Finally, it may instead be arranged in front of the toe-side shoe holder assembly, conveniently at a small distance, so that the resulting Koppiungsstreeke is as short as possible to the toe shoe holder unit, the coupling half on the other hand but without obstruction by the toe sole holder unit for an upright skier is accessible from above to make the clutch engagement with the ski pole comfortable. The adjusting member of the third embodiment, in particular its coupling half, is advantageously arranged and shaped so that at least substantially torsional forces act on the ski pole during its operation.

Die Kupplungshälfte des Verstellorgans weist eine um die Drehachse des Verstellorgans erstreckte Kupplungskontur auf. Obgleich es zum Kuppeln grundsätzlich genügen würde, wenn sich die Kupplungskontur über einen Drehwinkelbereich von mehr als 180°, jedoch weniger als 360°, um die Drehachse erstreckt, wird es nicht zuletzt für die Festigkeit der Kupplungshälfte des Verstellorgans bevorzugt, wenn die Kupplungskontur um die Drehachse vollständig, also um 360° umläuft. Die Kupplungskontur und somit die vom Verstellorgan gebildete Kupplungshälfte ist vorzugsweise ein Mehrflach mit höchstens fünf Flachseiten und die Flachseiten miteinander verbindenden Rundkanten, wobei der um die Drehachse des Verstellorgans variierende Krümmungsradius der Kupplungskontur vorzugsweise überall wenigstens 1 Millimeter, bevorzugter überall wenigstens 2 Millimeter, beträgt. Vorteilhafterweise sind jedenfalls keine scharfen Kanten vorhanden. Auch dies erleichtert die Herstellung des Kupplungseingriffs. Die Kupplungskontur kann beispielsweise eine flache Seite aufweisen und ansonsten kreisrund, also ein Einflach sein. Sie kann im Ganzen gesehen auch ein Oval, beispielsweise eine echte Ellipse, also ein Zweiflach bilden. Eine besonders bevorzugte Kupplungskontur ist als Dreiflach, im großen und ganzen also dreieckförmig geformt. Eine derartige Form vereint die Vorteile der einfachen Herstellbarkeit des Kupplungseingrzffs und der sicheren Übertragung des erforderlichen Drehmoments in optimaler Weise.The coupling half of the adjusting member has a coupling contour extending around the axis of rotation of the adjusting member. Although it would be sufficient for coupling in principle, when the coupling contour over a rotational angle range of more than 180 °, but less than 360 °, extends around the axis of rotation, it is not least preferred for the strength of the coupling half of the adjusting, when the coupling contour to the Full rotation, ie 360 ° rotates. The coupling contour and thus the coupling half formed by the adjusting member is preferably a multi-flat with at most five flat sides and the flat sides interconnecting round edges, wherein the varying about the axis of rotation of the adjusting radius of curvature of the coupling contour is preferably anywhere at least 1 millimeter, more preferably anywhere at least 2 millimeters. Advantageously, no sharp edges are present anyway. This also facilitates the production of the clutch engagement. The coupling contour, for example, have a flat side and otherwise circular, so be a flat. As a whole, it can also form an oval, for example a true ellipse, ie a two-faceted one. A particularly preferred coupling contour is shaped as a tri-fold, so on the whole triangular. Such a shape combines the advantages of easy manufacturability of Kupplungsseingrzffs and the safe transmission of the required torque in an optimal manner.

Um die Herstellung des Kupplungseingriffs zu erleichtern, ist es vorteilhaft, wenn sich die Kupplungshälfte des Verstellorgans in den ersten und zweiten Ausführungen an ihrer Vorderseite und in den dritten Ausführungen an ihrer Oberseite längs der Drehachse in Richtung auf die Kupplungskontur verjüngt oder aufweitet, um die Kupplungsgegenhälfte, die Handhabe, vorzugsweise die Skistockspitze, bei dem Versuch der Herstellung des Kupplungseingriffs zu zentrieren. Innerhalb der Kupplung aus Kupplungshälfte und Kupplungsgegenhälfte, kann die Kupplungshälfte des Verstellorgans den Stecker oder, bevorzugter, die Buchse, Muffe oder dergleichen bilden. In Ausführungen, in denen das Verstellorgan innerhalb der Kupplung die Buchsenfunktion übernimmt, verjüngt sich die Kupplungshälfte somit in Einführrichtung der Kupplungsgegenhälfte. Erfüllt das Verstellorgan innerhalb der Kupplung die Steckerfunktion, weitet sich die Kupplungshälfte vorzugsweise entsprechend in Richtung auf die an ihr geformte Kupplungskontur auf.In order to facilitate the production of the clutch engagement, it is advantageous if the coupling half of the adjusting member in the first and second embodiments on its front side and in the third embodiments on its upper side along the rotational axis in the direction of the coupling contour tapers or widened to the Kupplungsgegenhälfte to center the handle, preferably the ski pole, in attempting to establish the clutch engagement. Within the coupling of coupling half and coupling half, the coupling half of the adjusting member can form the plug or, more preferably, the socket, sleeve or the like. In embodiments in which the adjusting takes over the socket function within the coupling, the coupling half thus tapers in the insertion direction of the coupling half. If the adjusting element within the coupling fulfills the plug function, the coupling half preferably expands accordingly in the direction of the coupling contour formed on it.

Figur 1 zeigt eine Skibindung eines ersten Ausführungsbeispiels vor der Montage auf einem Ski. Auf der Oberseite eines nicht dargestellten Skis sind im Bereich einer Standzone für einen Skischuh (nicht dargestellt) ein zehenseitiges Schienenprofil 1 und ein fersenseitiges Schienenprofil 2 angeordnet. Im Beispiel sind die Schienenprofile 1 und 2 mittels Schrauben auf dem Ski befestigt. Grundsätzlich kann die Befestigung jedoch auch in anderer Weise, beispielsweise durch Verklebung erfolgen. In noch einer Alternative können die Schienenprofile 1 und 2 in die Struktur des Skis integriert und/oder zu einem einzigen Schienenprofil zusammengefasst, entweder in einem Stück geformt oder aus mehreren Stücken gefügt sein. FIG. 1 shows a ski binding of a first embodiment prior to mounting on a ski. On top of a ski, not shown, are in the area of a standing area for a ski boot (not shown) a toe-side rail profile 1 and a heel-side rail profile 2 are arranged. In the example, the rail profiles 1 and 2 are fastened by means of screws on the ski. Basically, however, the attachment can also be done in other ways, for example by gluing. In yet another alternative, the rail profiles 1 and 2 can be integrated into the structure of the ski and / or combined into a single rail profile, either molded in one piece or joined from several pieces.

Wie insbesondere aus Fig. 4 ersichtlich wird, besitzen die Schienenprofile 1 und 2 nach seitwärts gerichtete Stege 3, die von beispielhaft im Querschnitt C-förrnigen Führungsstücken 4 umfasst werden, die ihrerseits an der Basis eines zehenseitigen Schuhhalteraggregats 5 bzw. eines fersenseitigen Schuhhalteraggregats 6 fest angeordnet sind. Damit sind die Schuhhalteraggregate 5 und 6 an den Schienenprofilen 1 und 2 quer zur Skilängsrichtung durch Formschluss arretiert und in Skilängsrichtung an den Schienenprofilen 1 und 2 verschiebbar geführt.As in particular from Fig. 4 As can be seen, the rail profiles 1 and 2 have laterally directed webs 3, which are encompassed by example in cross-section C-förrnigen guide pieces 4, which in turn are fixed to the base of a toe shoe holder assembly 5 and a heel-side shoe holder assembly 6. Thus, the shoe holder assemblies 5 and 6 are locked to the rail sections 1 and 2 transversely to the ski longitudinal direction by positive locking and slidably guided in the longitudinal direction of the rail sections 1 and 2.

Zur einstellbaren Arretierung des zehenseitigen Schuhhalteraggregats 5 in Skilängsrichtung ist am Basisteil des Schuhhalteraggregats 5 ein Verstellorgan 7 in Form einer Gewindeschnecke axial und radial gelagert bzw. abgestützt, die mit einem Abschnitt ihres Umfanges aus der Unterseite (vgl. Fig. 3) des Basisteils des zehenseitigen Schuhhalteraggregates 5 herausragt und mit ihrem Gewinde in einem Verstelleingriff formschlüssig in einen Gegengewindeabschnitt eingreift, der innerhalb einer im zehenseitigen Schienenprofil 1 in dessen Längsrichtung erstreckten flachen Vertiefung 8 (vgl. Fig. 2) ausgebildet ist. Das Verstellorgan 7 lässt sich mit einem Schraubwerkzeug, welches sich beispielsweise in eine kreuzschlitzartige Ausnehmung am einen durch eine Öffnung im Basisteil des Schuhhalteraggregates 5 zugänglichen Stirnende der Gewindeschnecke 7 einsetzen lässt, drehend verstellen. Dabei verschiebt sich das zehenseitige Schuhhalteraggregat 5 in Längsrichtung des zehenseitigen Schienenprofils 1, wobei die jeweils eingestellte Position durch Selbsthemmung des Verstellorgans 7 im Gegengewindeabschnitt der Vertiefung 8 fixiert bleibt.For adjustable locking of the toe-side shoe holder assembly 5 in the ski longitudinal direction an adjusting member 7 in the form of a screw axially and radially stored or supported on the base part of the shoe holder assembly 5, with a portion of its circumference from the bottom (see. Fig. 3 ) of the base part of the toe-side shoe holder assembly 5 and engages with its thread in a Verstellingriff form-fitting manner in a counter-threaded portion extending within a in the toe-side rail profile 1 in its longitudinal direction shallow recess 8 (see. Fig. 2 ) is trained. The adjusting member 7 can be used with a screw which can be used, for example, in a cross-slot-like recess on an accessible through an opening in the base part of the shoe holder assembly 5 front end of the screw 7, adjust rotationally. In this case, the toe-side shoe holder assembly 5 shifts in the longitudinal direction of the toe-side rail profile 1, wherein the respectively set position remains fixed by self-locking of the adjusting member 7 in the counter-threaded portion of the recess 8.

Die Lage des fersenseitigen Schuhhalteraggregats 6 in Längsrichtung des Skis bzw. fersenseitigen Schienenprofils 2 wird durch ein Zugglied 9 bestimmt, über das das Schuhhalteraggregat 6 mit dem zehenseitigen Schuhhalteraggregat 5 verbunden ist. Entsprechend wird auch das fersenseitige Schuhhalteraggregat 6 in Längsrichtung des Skis und der Schienenprofile 1 und 2 verstellt, wenn das Verstellorgan 7 am zehenseitigen Schuhhalteraggregat 5 unter Längsverschiebung des Schuhhalteraggregats 5 drehend verstellt wird.The position of the heel-side shoe holder assembly 6 in the longitudinal direction of the ski or heel-side rail profile 2 is determined by a tension member 9, via which the shoe holder assembly 6 is connected to the toe-shoe holder 5. Accordingly, the heel-side shoe holder assembly 6 is adjusted in the longitudinal direction of the ski and the rail sections 1 and 2, when the adjusting member 7 on the toe-side shoe holder assembly 5 is rotated by longitudinal displacement of the shoe holder assembly 5.

Das Zugglied 9 kann wie in Fig. 3 dargestellt eine Schlinge 10 aufweisen, die einerseits an einer mit dem fersenseitigen Schuhhalteraggregat 6 verbindbaren Platte 11 befestigt und andererseits an der Unterseite des zehenseitigen Schuhhalteraggregats 5 in unterschiedliche, für unterschiedliche Schuhgrößen bzw. Längsabstände zwischen den Schuhhalteraggregaten 5 und 6 vorbereitete bzw. vorgesehene Lagerstücke 12 unter Verrastung einhängbar ist. Dabei sind die Lagerstücke 12 derart angeordnet, dass sie bei in das zehenseitige Schienenprofil 1 eingeschobenem Schuhhalteraggregat 5 dem Schienenprofil 1 unmittelbar vertikal benachbart sind und dadurch ein Entrasten bzw. Ablösen der Schlinge 10 vom jeweiligen Lagerstück 12 sicher verhindert wird. Die Schlinge 10 kann insbesondere eine Draht- oder Drahtseilschlinge 10 sein. Ein Kraft übertragendes Zugmittel wie beispielsweise ein Draht, Drahtseil oder anderes Seilmaterial kann in ein Hüllmaterial eingebettet oder lose umhüllt sein oder aber blank vorliegen. An den Lagerstücken 12 sind jeweils die Längenbereiche der (genormten) Skischuhsohlen angegeben, so dass zu jeder Schuhgröße ohne weiteres das zugeordnete Lagerstück 12 für die Schlinge 10 gefunden werden kann.The tension member 9 can as in Fig. 3 illustrated having a loop 10, on the one hand attached to a connectable to the heel-side shoe holder assembly 6 plate 11 and on the other hand on the bottom of the toe shoe holder assembly 5 in different, prepared for different shoe sizes or longitudinal distances between the shoe holder assemblies 5 and 6 and provided storage pieces 12 below Latch can be suspended. In this case, the bearing pieces 12 are arranged such that they are directly vertically adjacent to the rail profile 1 in the toe-side rail profile 1 shoe holder assembly 5 and thereby unlocking or detachment of the loop 10 is reliably prevented by the respective bearing piece 12. The sling 10 may in particular be a wire or cable sling 10. A force transmitting traction means such as a wire, wire rope or other rope material may be embedded in a shell material or loosely wrapped or bare present. The lengths of the (standardized) ski boot soles are respectively indicated on the bearing pieces 12, so that the associated bearing piece 12 for the sling 10 can be readily found for each shoe size.

Das Zugglied 9 umfasst eine mit der Schlinge 10 axial fest verbundene Platte 11. Die Platte 11 ist mit einer auf der Unterseite des fersenseitige Schuhhalteraggregats 6 angeordneten flachbandartigen Leiste 13 verrastbar, wobei die Rastverbindung zwischen Platte 11 und Leiste 13 nur bei vom Schienenprofil 2 getrenntem Schuhhalteraggregat 6 auftrennbar ist. Auch hier wird also eine auftrennbare Verbindung durch den engen Abstandsraum zwischen der Unterseite des Schuhhalteraggregates 6 und dem zugeordneten Schienenprofil 2 unlösbar gesichert.The tension member 9 comprises an axially fixedly connected to the sling 10 plate 11. The plate 11 is latched with a arranged on the underside of the heel-side shoe holder assembly 6 ribbon-like strip 13, wherein the locking connection between the plate 11 and strip 13 only at the rail profile 2 separate shoe holder assembly 6 is separable. Here, too, a separable connection is thus secured inextricably by the narrow space between the bottom of the shoe holder assembly 6 and the associated rail profile 2.

Die Leiste 13 ist an der Unterseite des Schuhhalteraggregats 6 längsverschiebbar geführt und über eine nicht näher dargestellte Anschubfederung am Schuhhalteraggregat 6 abgestützt, derart, dass die genannte Anschubfederung das Schuhhalteraggregat 6 relativ zur Leiste 13 in Richtung auf das zehenseitige Schuhhalteraggregat 5 zu schieben sucht. Dadurch wird bei Flexberwegungen des Skis, bei denen sich die mit ihrem Vorderende am zehenseitigen Schuhhalteraggregat 5 fest abgestützte Skisohle mit ihrem fersenseitigen Ende auf der Skioberseite in Skilängsrichtung verschiebt, gewährleistet, dass das fersenseitige Schuhhalteraggregat 6 mit seinem Sohlenhalter 14 ständig in kraftschlüssigem Kontakt mit dem fersenseitigen Sohlenende bleibt. Die Anschubfederung lässt sich mit einer Gewindeschnecke 15 (vgl. Fig. 4) justieren, die innerhalb einer entsprechenden Ausnehmung im Basiskörper des fersenseitigen Schuhhalteraggregats 6 derart radial gelagert bzw. abgestützt ist, dass sie mit ihrem Gewinde in angepasste Schrägschlitze 15' eingreift, die als an der Leiste 13 angeordnete Gegengewindeabschnitte mit der Gewindeschnecke 15 zusammenwirken. Die Gewindeschnecke 15 besitzt einen durch eine rückseitige Öffnung am rückwärtigen Ende des Basiskörpers des fersenseitigen Schuhhalteraggregats 6 zugänglichen Kreuzschlitz oder dergleichen (vgl. Fig. 4B) in den ein entsprechendes Schraubwerkzeug eingreifen kann, so dass sich die Gewindeschnecke 15 relativ zur Leiste 13 schraubverstellen lässt. Damit kann die Anschubfederung und dementsprechend die Anschubkraft, mit der ein Sohlenhalter 14 des fersenseitigen Schuhhalteraggregats 6 am fersenseitigen Sohlenende anliegt, justiert werden.The bar 13 is longitudinally displaceably guided on the underside of the shoe holder assembly 6 and supported by a not shown start-up spring support on the shoe holder assembly 6, such that said start-up spring 6 seeks to push the shoe holder assembly 6 relative to the bar 13 in the direction of the toe shoe holder assembly 5. This is at Flexberwegungen of the ski, in which with its front end on the toe shoe holder 5 firmly supported ski sole with her heel end on the Skioberseite shifts in the ski longitudinal direction, ensures that the heel-side shoe holder assembly 6 with its sole holder 14 is constantly in frictional contact with the heel-side sole end. The start-up suspension can be with a threaded screw 15 (see. Fig. 4 ), which is radially mounted or supported within a corresponding recess in the base body of the heel-side shoe holder assembly 6 so that it engages with its thread in adapted oblique slots 15 ', which cooperate as arranged on the bar 13 counter-threaded portions with the screw 15. The screw 15 has a through a rear opening at the rear end of the base body of the heel-side shoe holder assembly 6 accessible Phillips or the like (see. Fig. 4B ) in which a corresponding screwing tool can engage, so that the threaded screw 15 can be schraubverstellen relative to the bar 13. Thus, the starting spring and, accordingly, the starting force with which a sole holder 14 of the heel-side shoe holder assembly 6 abuts the heel-side sole end, can be adjusted.

Aufgrund der Anschubfederung ist also das fersenseitige Schuhhalteraggregat 6 über das Zugglied 9 mit dem zehenseitigen Schuhhalteraggregat 5 in Längsrichtung federbar verbunden, wobei sich das fersenseitige Schuhhalteraggregat 6 bei Federhüben auf dem fersenseitigen Schienenprofil 2 in dessen Längsrichtung verschiebt. Bei der erfindungsgemäßen Skibindung hat also das fersenseitige Schienenprofil 2 eine Doppelfunktion: Einerseits ermöglicht es eine Verschiebung des fersenseitigen Schuhhalteraggregats 6 in Skilängsrichtung, um das Schuhhalteraggregat 6 entsprechend der Länge der Skischuhsohle einzustellen. Andererseits ermöglicht es im Schließzustand Bindung bei Flexbewegungen des Skis eine federnde Längsbewegung des fersenseitigen Schuhhalteraggregates 6 relativ zum zehenseitigen Schuhhalteraggregat 5 entsprechend der Relativbewegung zwischen dem Fersenende der Skisohle und der Skioberseite.Due to the initial suspension so the heel-side shoe holder assembly 6 is spring connected via the tension member 9 with the toe shoe holder assembly 5 in the longitudinal direction, wherein the heel-side shoe holder assembly 6 shifts in spring strokes on the heel-side rail profile 2 in the longitudinal direction. In the ski binding according to the invention so the heel-side rail profile 2 has a double function: On the one hand it allows a shift of the heel-side shoe holder assembly 6 in the ski longitudinal direction to adjust the shoe holder assembly 6 according to the length of the ski boot sole. On the other hand, in the closed state, binding during flexing movements of the ski allows a resilient longitudinal movement of the heel-side shoe holder assembly 6 relative to the toe-side shoe holder assembly 5 in accordance with the relative movement between the heel end of the ski sole and the ski upper side.

An der Schlinge 10 ist ein Versteifungsteil 16 angeordnet, welches einerseits die Handhabung der Schlinge 10 bei deren Festlegung an einem der Lagerstücke 12 auf der Unterseite des zehenseitigen Schuhhalteraggregats 5 erleichtert und andererseits eine übermäßige Annäherung des fersenseitigen Schuhhalteraggregats 6 an das zehenseitige Schuhhalteraggregat 5 bei Nichtgebrauch des Skis, das heißt bei aus der Bindung ausgelöstem Skischuh, verhindert.On the loop 10, a stiffening member 16 is arranged, which on the one hand facilitates the handling of the loop 10 when they are fixed to one of the bearing pieces 12 on the underside of the toe shoe holder assembly 5 and on the other hand, an excessive approximation of the heel-side shoe holder assembly 6 to the toe shoe holder assembly 5 when not in use Skis, that is to say when the ski boot is released from the binding, are prevented.

Gemäß einer besonders bevorzugten Ausführungsform kann das zur Einstellung des zehenseitigen Schuhhalteraggregats 5 dienende Verstellorgan 7 auch dazu vorgesehen sein, die Skibindung, genauer gesagt die Schuhhalteraggregate 5 und 6, als komplette Einheit in Skilängsrichtung zu verstellen, um die Position der Skibindung am Ski in Anpassung an die Schnee- bzw. Pistenverhältnisse in Skilängsrichtung zu verändern bzw. einzustellen, d.h. die Längsmitte der Skischuhsohle kann gegenüber der Längsmitte des Skis wahlweise nach vorne oder hinten verlagert werden. Für Tiefschnee ist eine im Vergleich zu einer gedachten mittleren Bezugsposition der Bindung nach hinten verlagerte Position vorteilhaft, während die Wendigkeit des Skis auf fester Piste durch eine nach vorne verlagerte Position erhöht werden kann. Um das Verstellorgan 7 für ein vom Skifahrer leicht mitführbares (schlüsselartiges) Schraubwerkzeug leichter zugänglich zu machen, ist das Verstellorgan 7 vorzugsweise mit geneigter Drehachse im Basisteil des zehenseitigen Schuhhalteraggregats 5 angeordnet, derart, dass das zum Ansetzen des Schraubwerkzeugs vorgesehene Stirnende des Verstellorgans 7 in Skilängsrichtung nach vorwärts schräg oben weist. Damit kann ein in der Bindung stehender Skiläufer die Positionsveränderung der Skibindung am Ski leicht vornehmen. Anstelle des Schraubwerkzeuges kann an dem Verstellorgan 7 zu dessen Schraubverstellung auch eine Handhabe nach Art eines kleinen Handrads vorgesehen sein.According to a particularly preferred embodiment, the adjuster 7 serving to adjust the toe-side shoe holder assembly 5 can also be provided for adjusting the ski binding, more precisely the shoe holder assemblies 5 and 6, as a complete unit in the longitudinal direction of the ski in order to adapt the position of the ski binding to the ski to change or adjust the snow or piste conditions in the ski longitudinal direction, ie the longitudinal center of the ski boot sole can be shifted towards the longitudinal center of the ski either forward or backward. For deep snow, a position displaced rearwardly relative to an imaginary center reference position of the binding is advantageous, while the maneuverability of the ski on a solid track can be increased by a forward displaced position. To make the adjusting member 7 easily accessible for a skier (key-type) screwing tool, the adjusting member 7 is preferably arranged with inclined axis of rotation in the base part of the toe shoe holder assembly 5, such that the intended for attachment of the screwing end of the adjusting 7 in the ski longitudinal direction pointing forward diagonally upwards. Thus, a skier standing in the binding can easily change the position of the ski binding on the ski. Instead of the screwing tool, a handle in the manner of a small handwheel may be provided on the adjusting member 7 for its screw adjustment.

Vorzugsweise ist am zehenseitigen Schienenprofil 1 eine Markierung angeordnet, so dass leicht erkennbar wird, ob das zehenseitige Schuhhalteraggregat 5 zusammen mit dem über das Zugglied 9 angekoppelten fersenseitigen Schuhhalteraggregat 6 am Ski nach vorne oder nach hinten gegenüber der Bezugsposition verlagert ist.Preferably, a mark is arranged on the toe-side rail profile 1, so that it is easy to see whether the toe-side shoe holder assembly 5 is displaced together with the coupled via the tension member 9 heel-side shoe holder assembly 6 on the ski forward or backward relative to the reference position.

Die Figuren 5 und 6 gehören nicht zu Erfindung und zeigen eine Skibindung eines zweiten Ausführungsbeispiels. Auch in diesem Ausführungsbeispiel sind die Schuhhalteraggregate 5 und 6 gemeinsam in Längsrichtung X hin und her verstellbar, um den Schwerpunkt des Skifahrers in Bezug auf den Ski den Schnee- und Geländeverhältnissen anpassen zu können. Der maximale Verstellweg beträgt vorzugsweise einige Zentimeter, beispielsweise 10 cm, vorzugsweise wenigstens 5 cm. Das zehenseitige Schuhhalteraggregat 5 ist auf einem Lagerkörper 26 und das fersenseitige Schuhhalteraggregat 6 auf einem Lagerkörper 28 angeordnet. Die beiden Lagerkörper 26 und 28 sind mittels eines in Längsrichtung X zug- und schubsteifen Zugglieds 29 miteinander verbunden, so dass die gefügte Zug- und Schubstruktur 26, 28, 29 mit den Schuhhalteraggregaten 5 und 6 in Längsrichtung einheitlich verstellbar ist. Die Zug- und Schubstruktur 26, 28, 29 ist über ein zehenseitiges Schienenprofil 1 und ein fersenseitiges Schienenprofil 2 mit dem Ski verbunden. Die Schienenprofile 1 und 2 sind relativ zum Ski nicht beweglich, beweglich ist vielmehr die axial steife Zug- und Schubstruktur 26, 28, 29 relativ zu den stationären Schienenprofilen 1 und 2. Die Zug- und Schubstruktur 26, 28, 29 wird von den Schienenprofilen 1 und 2 in Längsrichtung X geführt, aber in Querrichtung und vertikal zum Ski fest gehalten. Vorzugsweise ist eines der Schuhhalteraggregate 5 und 6 relativ zu dem anderen zusätzlich in Längsrichtung X verstellbar, um die Bindung an unterschiedliche Skischuhe anpassen zu können. So kann beispielsweise der Lagerkörper 28 das Schuhhalteraggregat 6 in Längsrichtung X der Position nach verstellbar lagern.The FIGS. 5 and 6 do not belong to invention and show a ski binding of a second embodiment. Also in this embodiment, the shoe holder assemblies 5 and 6 are mutually adjustable in the longitudinal direction X back and forth in order to adjust the center of gravity of the skier with respect to the ski the snow and terrain conditions. The maximum displacement is preferably a few centimeters, for example 10 cm, preferably at least 5 cm. The toe-side shoe holder assembly 5 is arranged on a bearing body 26 and the heel-side shoe holder assembly 6 on a bearing body 28. The two bearing bodies 26 and 28 are connected to each other by means of a tensile and shear-resistant tension member 29 in the longitudinal direction X, so that the joined tensile and shear structure 26, 28, 29 with the shoe holder assemblies 5 and 6 is uniformly adjustable in the longitudinal direction. The tensile and shear structure 26, 28, 29 is a toe-side rail profile 1 and a heel-side Rail profile 2 connected to the ski. The rail profiles 1 and 2 are not movable relative to the ski, movable rather is the axially rigid tensile and shear structure 26, 28, 29 relative to the stationary rail profiles 1 and 2. The tensile and shear structure 26, 28, 29 of the rail profiles 1 and 2 out in the longitudinal direction X, but held firmly in the transverse direction and vertical to the ski. Preferably, one of the shoe holder assemblies 5 and 6 is additionally adjustable relative to the other in the longitudinal direction X in order to adapt the binding to different ski boots can. Thus, for example, the bearing body 28 store the shoe holder assembly 6 in the longitudinal direction X of the position adjustable.

Für die gemeinsame Verstellung der Schuhhalteraggregate 5 und 6 als Einheit ist die Zug- und Schubstruktur 26, 28, 29 mit einem um die Hochachse Z drehverstellbaren Verstellorgan 27 gekoppelt. Die Kopplung wird anders als im ersten Ausführungsbeispiel mittels eines Kurbeltriebs gebildet, in dem das Verstellorgan 27 die Kurbel bildet, die über eine Kurbelstange 24 mit der Zug- und Schubstruktur 26, 28, 29 verbunden ist. Die Kurbelstange 24 ist in einem Drehgelenk 23 mit dem Verstellorgan 27 und in einem weiteren Drehgelenk 25 mit der Zug- und Schubstruktur 26, 28, 29 verbunden, so dass Drehbewegungen des Verstellorgans 27, der Kurbel, in Längshubbewegungen der Kurbelstange 24 und schließlich in reine Längsbewegungen der axial geführten Zug- und Schubstruktur 26, 28, 29 umgewandelt werden. Der maximale Verstellweg der Schuhhalteraggregate 5 und 6 wird dem Kurbeltrieb entsprechend durch den radialen Abstand bestimmt, den das Drehgelenk 23 von der Drehachse Z des Verstellorgans 27 aufweist.For the common adjustment of the shoe holder assemblies 5 and 6 as a unit, the tensile and shear structure 26, 28, 29 is coupled to a pivotable about the vertical axis Z adjusting member 27. The coupling is formed differently than in the first embodiment by means of a crank mechanism, in which the adjusting member 27 forms the crank, which is connected via a connecting rod 24 with the pulling and pushing structure 26, 28, 29. The connecting rod 24 is connected in a rotary joint 23 with the adjusting member 27 and in a further rotary joint 25 with the pulling and pushing structure 26, 28, 29, so that rotational movements of the adjusting member 27, the crank, in longitudinal strokes of the connecting rod 24 and finally in pure Longitudinal movements of the axially guided pull and push structure 26, 28, 29 are converted. The maximum displacement of the shoe holder assemblies 5 and 6 is determined according to the crank mechanism by the radial distance, the pivot 23 of the axis of rotation Z of the adjusting member 27 has.

Das Verstellorgan 27 ist am Ski mittels eines eigenen, vom Schienenprofil 1 separaten Lagerkörpers befestigt. Das Schienenprofil 1 kann stattdessen aber auch nach vorne verlängert sein, um das Verstellorgan 27 drehbar um seine Drehachse Z zu lagern.The adjusting member 27 is attached to the ski by means of a separate, separate from the rail profile 1 bearing body. Instead, the rail profile 1 may also be extended forwards in order to support the adjusting member 27 rotatably about its axis of rotation Z.

Das Verstellorgan 27 kann zwischen Rastpositionen hin und her drehbar sein, die es mit seinem Lagerkörper bildet. Die Schuhhalteraggregate 5 und 6 können durch das Verstellorgan 27, also durch dessen Verrastung mit seinem Lagerkörper, axial arretiert sein, wenn das Verstellorgan 27 die jeweilige Rastposition einnimmt. Es kann eine andere Arretiereinrichtung auch alternativ oder zusätzlich vorgesehen sein.The adjusting member 27 may be rotatable back and forth between locking positions, which it forms with its bearing body. The shoe holder assemblies 5 and 6 can be axially locked by the adjusting member 27, so by its latching with its bearing body, when the adjusting member 27 assumes the respective detent position. It may also be alternatively or additionally provided another locking device.

Mit 21 ist eine Anschubfeder bezeichnet, die sich nach hinten an der Zug- und Schubstruktur 26, 28, 29 und nach vorne am fersenseitigen Schuhhalteraggregat 6 abstützt, um dieses in Richtung auf das zehenseitige Schuhhalteraggregat 5 mit einer Federkraft zu beaufschlagen. Die Anschubfederung kann im ersten Ausführungsbeispiel in analoger Weise gebildet sein.With a start-up spring 21 is referred to, which is supported to the rear of the pull and push structure 26, 28, 29 and forward on the heel-side shoe holder assembly 6 to this in Towards the toe-side shoe holder assembly 5 with a spring force. The starting suspension can be formed in the first embodiment in an analogous manner.

Figur 6 zeigt in einer Draufsicht beispielhaft, wie die Kupplungshälfte 100 des Verstellorgans 27 in bevorzugten Ausführungen geformt sein kann. Die Kupplungshälfte 100 ist als Ring oder Buchse geformt. Die Kupplungsgegenhälfte des Skistocks bildet in komplementärer Form den Stecker für einen auf Formschluss beruhenden Kupplungseingriff. Die Kupplungshälfte 100 weist für den Formschluss eine Kupplungskontur auf, die im zur Drehachse Z orthogonalen Querschnitt ein Dreiflach bildet, also dreieckartig geformt ist. Die Kupplungskontur weist drei zumindest im wesentlichen gerade Konturabschnitte 101 und diese paarweise miteinander verbindende, vergleichsweise stark gekrümmte Konturabschnitte 102 auf. Die Kupplungshälfte 100 verjüngt sich an der Oberseite von einer Eingangsöffnung aus trichterförmig bis zu dieser Kupplungskontur 101 und 102, so dass sich die Skistockspitze als Kupplungsgegenhälfte beim Einführen von oben im Trichterbereich zur Kupplungskontur 101, 102 zentriert. Aufgrund der besonderen Querschnittsform zentriert sich die Kupplungsgegenhälfte nicht nur bei einem exzentrisch zur Drehachse Z erfolgenden Einführen, sondern auch hinsichtlich der Drehwinkelposition relativ zu der Kupplungskontur 101, 102. Die Kupplungshälften führen sich aneinander, quasi von alleine, automatisch in den Kupplungseingriff von Kupplungshälfte 100 und Kupplungsgegenhälfte. Die Dreieckform mit weich gerundeten Eckbereichen bzw. Rundkanten 102 ist besonders günstig. FIG. 6 shows in a plan view by way of example how the coupling half 100 of the adjusting member 27 may be formed in preferred embodiments. The coupling half 100 is shaped as a ring or socket. The coupling half of the ski pole forms in complementary form the plug for a form-fitting based clutch engagement. The coupling half 100 has a coupling contour for the positive connection, which forms a three-fold in the axis of rotation Z orthogonal cross-section, that is triangular-shaped. The coupling contour has three at least substantially straight contour sections 101 and these comparatively strongly curved contour sections 102, which connect with each other in pairs. The coupling half 100 tapers at the top of an inlet opening of a funnel-shaped up to this coupling contour 101 and 102, so that the ski pole as center half of the coupling when inserted from above in the funnel area to the coupling contour 101, 102 centered. Due to the particular cross-sectional shape, the coupling counterpart half centered not only in an eccentric to the axis of rotation Z insertion, but also with respect to the rotational angular position relative to the coupling contour 101, 102. The coupling halves lead to each other, almost by itself, automatically in the clutch engagement of coupling half 100 and complementary coupling half. The triangular shape with soft rounded corner regions or round edges 102 is particularly favorable.

Das Verstellorgan 27 ist im Bereich der Kupplungshälfte 100 mit seitlichen Durchbrechungen 103 versehen, durch die eingedrungener Schnee beim Einführen der Kupplungsgegenhälfte verdrängt werden kann. Die Durchbrechungen 103 wirken von Hause aus einem Verstopfen der Kupplungshälfte 100 entgegen. Notfalls kann etwa doch eingedrungener Schnee durch die Durchbrechung 103 auch seitlich mit dem Finger, einem Stöckchen oder sonstigen geeigneten Gegenstand herausgekratzt werden. Im Ausführungsbeispiel sind um die Drehachse Z verteilt wie bevorzugt mehrere Durchbrechungen 103 vorgesehen. Grundsätzlich würde eine einzige genügen. Mehrere Durchbrechungen sind aber unter anderem auch deshalb vorteilhaft, weil mit einem Stock, beispielsweise Skistock, von der Seite her in eine der Durchbrechungen 103 eingefahren und der Schnee durch eine gegenüberliegende hinausgedrückt werden kann. Vorteilhaft ist auch, dass sich die Kupplungshälfte 100 in der Draufsicht gesehen hinter der Kupplungskontur 101, 102 wieder aufweitet, also in dem seitlich durchbrochenen Raum, da dies ebenfalls einer Verstopfung durch Schnee entgegenwirkt.The adjusting member 27 is provided in the region of the coupling half 100 with lateral openings 103, can be displaced by the penetrated snow during insertion of the coupling counter half. The openings 103 counteract from home clogging of the coupling half 100. If necessary, snow that has penetrated through the opening 103 can also be scraped out laterally with the finger, a stick or other suitable object. In the exemplary embodiment, a plurality of apertures 103 are provided around the axis of rotation Z, as preferred. Basically, one would suffice. But several breakthroughs are also advantageous, among other things, because with a stick, such as ski pole, retracted from the side into one of the openings 103 and the snow can be pushed out by an opposite. It is also advantageous that seen in plan view, the coupling half 100 expands again behind the coupling contour 101, 102, ie in the laterally perforated space, since this likewise counteracts clogging by snow.

In einer nicht dargestellten Modifikation kann das Verstellorgan 27 das Verstellorgan 7 des ersten Ausführungsbeispiels ersetzen und mittels der Kurbelstange 24 mit dem Schuhalteraggregat 5 des ersten Ausführungsbeispiels gekoppelt sein.In a modification, not shown, the adjusting member 27 may replace the adjusting member 7 of the first embodiment and be coupled by means of the connecting rod 24 with the shoe support assembly 5 of the first embodiment.

Figur 7 zeigt von einer Skibindung eines dritten Ausführungsbeispiels nur den vorderen Teil mit dem zehenseitigen Schuhhalteraggregat 5. Das Schuhhalteraggregat 5 ist wie im zweiten Ausführungsbeispiel mit dem fersenseitigen Schuhhalteraggregat 6 mittels einer Zug- und Schubstruktur gekoppelt und daher in Längsrichtung X mit dem Schuhhalteraggregat 6 gemeinsam hin und her verstellbar. Von der dem zweiten Ausführungsbeispiel entsprechenden Zug- und Schubstruktur ist nur ein hinsichtlich der Zug- und Schubkraftübertragung dem Lagerkörper 26 entsprechender Lagerkörper 36 dargestellt. Das Verstellorgan 37 entspricht hinsichtlich seiner Kupplungshälfte 100 dem Verstellorgan 27 des zweiten Ausführungsbeispiels. Vom Verstellorgan 27 unterscheidet es sich allerdings hinsichtlich der Kopplung mit dem Schuhhalteraggregat 5. FIG. 7 The shoe holder assembly 5 is coupled to the heel-side shoe holder assembly 6 by means of a pull and push structure and therefore in the longitudinal direction X with the shoe holder assembly 6 back and forth together adjustable. Of the second embodiment, the corresponding tensile and shear structure only one with respect to the tensile and shear force transmission bearing body 26 corresponding bearing body 36 is shown. The adjusting member 37 corresponds with respect to its coupling half 100 the adjusting member 27 of the second embodiment. From the adjusting member 27, however, it differs in terms of coupling with the shoe holder assembly fifth

Das Verstellorgan 37 ist mittels eines Zahnradtriebs mit einem Lagerkörper 36 gekoppelt, der das Schuhhalteraggregat 5 lagert und gemeinsam mit dem Schuhhalteraggregat 5 relativ zu dem Schienenprofil 1 in Längsrichtung X hin und her beweglich ist, wobei das Schienenprofil 1 den Lagerkörper 36 in Längsrichtung führt und in jeder anderen Richtung fixiert. Die Kopplung ist mit einem Koppelglied 31 realisiert, das mit dem Verstellorgan 37 in einem Zahneingriff und mit dem Lagerkörper 36 in einem Gewindeeingriff ist.The adjusting member 37 is coupled by means of a gear drive with a bearing body 36 which supports the shoe holder assembly 5 and is movable together with the shoe holder assembly 5 relative to the rail profile 1 in the longitudinal direction X back and forth, the rail profile 1, the bearing body 36 leads in the longitudinal direction and in fixed in every other direction. The coupling is realized with a coupling member 31, which is in a tooth engagement with the adjusting member 37 and with the bearing body 36 in a threaded engagement.

Das Verstellorgan 37 und das Koppelglied 31 bilden im gemeinsamen Zahneingriff ein Winkelgetriebe. Das Verstellorgan 37 weist hierfür an einer Unterseite eine um die Drehachse Z erstreckte Verzahnung 30 auf, die mit einem Kegelzahnrad 32 des Koppelglieds 31 im Zahneingriff ist, in dem Drehbewegungen des Verstellorgans 37 um die Hochachse Z in Drehbewegungen des Koppelglieds 31 um eine zur Längsachse X des Skis parallele Drehachse übertragen werden. Das Koppelglied 31 weist um seine Drehachse ein Gewinde auf, das mit einer Gewindemutter 33 im Gewindeeingriff ist. Die Gewindemutter 33 ist in Längsrichtung X unbeweglich und um ihre Gewindeachse nicht drehbar mit dem Lagerkörper 36 verbunden. Aufgrund der axialen Führung des Lagerkörpers 36 werden Drehbewegungen des Koppelglieds 31 daher im Gewindeeingriff mit der Gewindemutter 33 in axiale Bewegungen der Gewindemutter 33 und somit des Lagerkörpers 36 umgewandelt. Diese axialen Bewegungen entsprechen Positionsverstellungen des Schuhhalteraggregats 5 in Längsrichtung X.The adjusting member 37 and the coupling member 31 form an angular gear in common meshing. The adjusting member 37 has for this purpose on an underside a about the rotation axis Z extended toothing 30 which is in meshing with a bevel gear 32 of the coupling member 31 in the rotational movements of the adjusting member 37 about the vertical axis Z in rotational movements of the coupling member 31 about a longitudinal axis X. of the ski are transmitted parallel axis of rotation. The coupling member 31 has a thread about its axis of rotation, which is threadedly engaged with a threaded nut 33. The threaded nut 33 is immovable in the longitudinal direction X and non-rotatably connected to the bearing body 36 about its threaded axis. Due to the axial guidance of the bearing body 36, rotational movements of the coupling member 31 are therefore converted into threaded engagement with the threaded nut 33 in axial movements of the threaded nut 33 and thus of the bearing body 36. These axial movements correspond to positional adjustments of the shoe holder assembly 5 in the longitudinal direction X.

Zum Verstellorgan 37 ist noch nachzutragen, das seine Verzahnung 30 in einem vor Schnee und Schmutz geschützten Raum aufgenommen ist, in den auch das Koppelglied 31 mit seinem Zahnrad 32 hineinragt, so dass der Zahneingriff 30, 32 vor Schnee oder Schmutz geschützt ist. Den Raum bildet ein relativ zum Ski nicht beweglicher Lagerkörper 35. Das Verstellorgan 37 ragt in den nach oben topfförmig offenen Lagerkörper 35 und bildet für diesen eine Art oberen Deckel zum Abschluss besagten Raums. Der Lagerkörper 35 ist separat vom Schienenprofil 1 am Ski befestigt bzw. für eine separate Befestigung vorgesehen, kann alternativ aber auch mit dem Schienenprofil 1 gefügt oder mit diesem in einem Stück geformt sein.To adjust the 37 is still nachzutragen that its teeth 30 is received in a protected from snow and dirt space into which also the coupling member 31 projects with its gear 32, so that the tooth engagement 30, 32 is protected from snow or dirt. The space forms a relatively non-moving to the ski bearing body 35. The adjusting member 37 projects into the cup-shaped upwardly open bearing body 35 and forms for this a kind of upper lid to close said space. The bearing body 35 is attached separately from the rail profile 1 on the ski or provided for a separate attachment, but may alternatively also be joined to the rail profile 1 or molded with this in one piece.

Würden das Verstellorgan 37 und dementsprechend der Lagerkörper 35 entfallen, könnte auch das dann von vorne zugängliche Koppelglied 31 die Funktion eines Verstellorgans im Sinne der Erfindung übernehmen. Das Beispiel zeigt auch, wie die Aufteilung der beiden Funktionen der Lagerung des so modifiziert gedachten Koppelglieds bzw. Verstellorgans 31 einerseits und des Verstelleingriffs, hier zwischen 31 und 33, andererseits geändert werden können. Während im ersten Ausführungsbeispiel das Schuhhalteraggregat 5 das Verstellorgan 7 lagert und dieses im Verstelleingriff mit dem Schienenprofil 1 ist, lagert im zweiten Ausführungsbeispiel der skifeste Lagerkörper 35 das Koppelglied/Verstellorgan 31, und dieses ist mit dem Lagerkörper 36, genauer gesagt mit der damit fest zu einer Bewegungseinheit gefügten Gewindemutter 33, im Verstelleingriff. Der bewegliche Lagerkörper 36 ist mit dem Schulahalteraggregat 5 wiederum axial unbeweglich verbunden, so dass der Verstelleingriff letztlich wie ein Verstelleingriff direkt mit dem Schuhhalteraggregat 5 wirkt. Der Verstelleingriff des ersten Ausführungsbeispiels könnte durch den des Koppelglieds 31 ersetzt werden, wobei im ersten Beispiel allerdings das Schienenprofil 1 das Verstellorgan 7 lagern würde. Umgekehrt könnte das Koppelglied 31 auch direkt mit dem Schuhhalteraggregat 5 im Verstelleingriff sein. Es können auch die Schuhhalteraggregate 5 und 6 und die Zug- und Schubstruktur 9, 11 und 16 des ersten Ausführungsbeispiels in Kombination mit dem Verstellorgan 37 und dem Koppelglied 31 verwirklicht werden, wobei das Koppelglied 31 in solch einer Ausführung im Verstelleingriff mit dem Schuhhalteraggregat 5 des ersten Ausführungsbeispiels wäre. Das Koppelglied 31 kann auch am Schienenprofil 1 anstatt am separat am Ski befestigten oder befestigbaren Lagerkörper 35 axial und vorzugsweise auch radial abgestützt und in diesem Sinne gelagert werden.If the adjusting member 37 and accordingly the bearing body 35 were omitted, then the coupling member 31, which is accessible from the front, could also assume the function of an adjusting member in the sense of the invention. The example also shows how the division of the two functions of the storage of the so modified imaginary coupling member or adjusting member 31 on the one hand and the adjustment, here between 31 and 33, on the other hand can be changed. While in the first embodiment, the shoe holder assembly 5 stores the adjusting member 7 and this is in Verstelleingriff with the rail profile 1, superimposed in the second embodiment, the skifeste bearing body 35, the coupling member / adjusting member 31, and this is with the bearing body 36, more specifically with the so firmly a movement unit threaded nut 33 in the adjustment. The movable bearing body 36 is in turn axially immovably connected to the school holding unit 5, so that the adjusting engagement ultimately acts like an adjustment directly with the shoe holder assembly 5. The adjusting engagement of the first embodiment could be replaced by that of the coupling member 31, wherein in the first example, however, the rail profile 1 would support the adjusting member 7. Conversely, the coupling member 31 could also be directly in the adjusting engagement with the shoe holder assembly 5. It can also be the shoe holder assemblies 5 and 6 and the pull and push structure 9, 11 and 16 of the first embodiment in combination with the adjusting member 37 and the coupling member 31 can be realized, wherein the coupling member 31 in such an embodiment in Verstellingriff with the shoe holder assembly 5 of first embodiment would be. The coupling member 31 may also be attached to the rail profile 1 instead of separately attached to the ski or fastened Bearing body 35 axially and preferably also radially supported and stored in this sense.
