Description
- The present invention relates to a multiple-position heel piece for ski-touring bindings.
- It is known in the technical sector of ski-touring that there exists the need to provide safety bindings which comprise a front member, or toe piece, able to clamp the toe of the boot, while allowing rotation thereof about a substantially horizontal axis, and a rear member, or heel piece, able to co-operate with the heel of the boot so as to allow three different modes of use, i.e.: release of the heel (walking mode); resting of the boot with greater/lesser inclination (uphill mode); and locking of the heel (downhill mode).
- Also known, for example from
EP 0,199,098 , are bindings of the type described above which, however, have the drawback arising from the fact that the toe piece is without autonomous means for releasing the boot in the transverse direction, as required in the event of a fall or a twisting movement during descent, said safety function being performed by corresponding rear operating means of the heel piece which therefore has a very complex and heavy design, resulting in an assembly which has poor rigidity and is difficult to use. - Further prior art according to the preamble of Claim 1 is described in
FR 1,557,276 US 5 577 757 . - The technical problem which is posed, therefore, is to provide a ski-binding heel piece which is able to perform:
- locking of the heel of the boot with the rigidity normally required for such applications;
- improved locking of the heel with a reduction in the lateral play;
- the possibility of assuming any one of the three operating configurations in a simple and rapid manner suitable for the conditions of use of said heel pieces. In connection with this problem it is also required that this heel piece should be formed by a small number of small-size and low-weight parts which are easy and inexpensive to produce and assemble and can be easily applied to skis using normal standardized connection means.
- These results are achieved according to the present invention by a heel piece for ski bindings according to the characteristic features of Claim 1.
- Further details may be obtained from the following description of a non-limiting example of embodiment of the subject of the present invention provided with reference to the accompanying drawings in which:
- Figure 1
- shows an exploded view of the heel piece according to the present invention;
- Figure 2
- shows a side view of the heel piece in the open position;
- Figure 3
- shows a side view of the open heel piece during insertion of the boot;
- Figure 4
- shows a side view of the heel piece in the closed position for downhill use;
- Figure 5
- shows a side view of the heel piece in a first (low) position for raising the free heel so as to allow walking;
- Figure 6
- shows a side view of the heel piece in a second (middle) position for raising the heel; and
- Figure 7
- shows a side view of the heel piece in a third (high) position for raising the heel.
- As shown in
Fig. 1 and with reference to a set of three axes, i.e. longitudinal axis X-X, transverse axis Y-Y and vertical axis Z-Z and the arrangements shown by way of example in the figures, conventionally assumed solely for the sake of convenience of the description, so that "front/inner" is regarded as being the part of the heel piece directed towards the boot and rear/outer as being the opposite part, the heel piece according to the present invention comprises: - a
fixed base piece 10 which is elongated in the longitudinal direction and is formed by aperimetral frame 11 which defines aninner seat 12 which is open in the vertical direction Z-Z;holes 14 with a vertical axis for fixing the base piece to the ski, not shown, by means ofscrews 14a are formed in the longitudinal arms 11a of theframe 11. - Said
inner seat 12 of the base piece forms a guide for: - a
slide 20 which is movable in both directions along the longitudinal axis X-X, following operation of conventional screw means 25 which, passing through the rear transverse side of thebase piece 11, cooperate with anut 25a which is fixed to the slide itself so that rotation of the screw causes displacement of the slide. - The front of the slide has, formed therein, a seat 21 for
housing lugs 22a of astep 22 covered by a reinforcingcover piece 23 which is fixed in position by means of avertical screw 23a so as to allow theheel 1a of the boot 1 to rest thereon (Fig. 3 ); it is also possible to insert spacers (not shown) between the step and the cover piece in order to adjust precisely the height of the heel; said housing seat 21 is also shaped so as to allow thestep 22 to assume at least two stable positions in the longitudinal direction. - The rear part of the
slide 20 is provided with abody 24 which has, formed inside it, a hollow cylindrical seat 26 suitable for housingresilient means 30 comprising aspring 31 which is fixed under compression inside the seat 26 between atop closing cap 33 with threading 33a which can be screwed into afemale thread 26a of the seat 26 itself and a bottom shapedfoot 32. Saidbody 24 also haslongitudinal tracks 24a formed on the front surface of the said body and designed to form guides forcorresponding roller wheels 113a associated with thefront fork 110; saidlongitudinal tracks 24a have an inclination from the top downwards and from the rear towards the front and preferably at least one change in direction along their extension. - The
shaped foot 32 has a through-hole 32a in the transverse direction designed to receive across-pin 34 which passes through thebody 24 via respective substantiallyvertical eyelets 24b formed in the sides of the body itself. - By means of said
pin 34 it is envisaged that a kinematic chain for transmitting the forces for operation of the heel piece is also is incorporated in thebody 24; said kinematic chain comprises: - a
rear lever 120 which can be operated by the user and rotates on thepin 34; - a front rotating
fork 110 which is able to engage with theheel 1a of a boot 1 and in turn rotates on thepin 34; - In greater detail:
- the
rear operating lever 120 is formed by a fork withparallel arms 121 which have respectivetransverse holes 121a through which the saidpin 34 passes; - the
front fork 110 is formed by twoarms 111, the front free end of which is formed in the manner of ahook 112 designed to engage with a respective pin and the bottom end of which is pivotably mounted on thepin 34 by means ofrespective holes 113; - said
hooks 112 form an obtuse angle α with therespective arm 111 so as to retain the pin 1b projecting transversely from theheel 1a of a boot 1 in the vertical direction Z-Z, but at the same time allow the said pins 1b to perform a movement in the longitudinal direction X-X which is particularly important and has the function of absorbing flexural stresses acting on the ski in the longitudinal direction, which are caused by bumps in the ground or are due to the weight of the skier in fresh snow, said flexural stresses causing a shortening of the ski along the longitudinal axis which, if not compensated for by sliding along the same axis, but in the opposite direction, of the transverse pins 1b of the boot 1, relative to the heel piece, may also cause separation of the boot from the ski owing to the tractional forces which are generated between boot and heel piece; - a connecting
cross-pin 113 is arranged between saidarms 111, being inserted throughcorresponding holes 111a; - which
pin 113 carries tworoller wheels 113a designed to roll on the correspondinglongitudinal tracks 24a of thebody 24; - a
further pin 114 projecting transversely outwards and designed for insertion inside suitable respective shapedeyelets 122 in thearms 121 of thelever 120 is also present on eacharm 111 of thefork 110; - According to a preferred embodiment of the heel piece it is envisaged that the bottom end of the
lever 120 is formed in the manner of acam 123 consisting of afirst surface 123a, substantially parallel to the longitudinal direction X-X, a second surface 123b, forming an obtuse angle with saidfirst surface 123a, and a third surface 123c, forming an obtuse angle with said second surface 123b. - Similarly the bottom end of the
arms 111 of thefork 110 has arespective cam 115 formed by afirst surface 115a, substantially parallel to the longitudinal direction X-X, a second surface 115b, forming an acute angle with saidfirst surface 115a. - With this configuration the operating principle of the heel piece is as follows:
- once the binding has been fixed to the ski and the desired height of the boot adjusted by means of the
support piece 23, - after arranging the heel piece in the open configuration (
Figs. 2 and 3 ), rotating therear lever 120 downwards so that thefront fork 110 is recalled upwards by the combined action of thepin 34 and thecams 123 and totally pulled towards the rear by theeyelets 122, - the
heel 1a of the boot 1 is inserted into the heel piece (Fig. 4 ) and the latter is closed by releasing thelever 120 which, pulled by thespring 31, rotates upwards so that the upwards rotation causes the downwards travel of theroller wheels 113a along thetracks 24a which, as a result of their particular profile, produce a pressure such as to force thefork 110 to rotate towards the heel of the boot until therespective surfaces lever 120 of thefork 110 assume a longitudinal position, resting on thebase piece 10; in this position thehooks 112 engage with the pins 1b of the boot and the heel piece is ready for downhill use; - in the event of different use of the binding for walking (
Fig. 5 ) it is possible to:- open the binding bz pressing the
lever 120 downwards so as to cause retraction/rotation of thefront fork 110 until the pins 1b of theheel 1a are released from engagement with thehooks 112, - extract the
heel 1a and rotate again towards the front thelever 120 until the second surface 123b of thecam 123 is positioned parallel to the longitudinal axis X-X and rests on thebase piece 10;
lever 120 causes, via theeyelet 122 which acts on thepins 114, the simultaneous rotation of thefork 110 which pivots downwards towards the front so as to position the second surface 115b of thecam 115 so that it is parallel to the longitudinal axis X-X and rests on thebase piece 10; therear surface 110a of the hook is thus made available for resting the boot thereon (Fig. 5 ), the boot being retained only by the toe piece (not shown), while theheel 1a is free to be raised/lowered during the walking movement of the user; - open the binding bz pressing the
- in the event of use for uphill walking on steeper slopes (
Fig. 6 ), thelever 120 is rotated towards the rear until thecam 123 and therefore thefront fork 110 assumes the initial condition again, thecover piece 23 is pushed to the end of its travel towards the rear, creating a raised support surface on which thehooks 112 of thearms 111 rest; in this position theheel 1a of the boot rests on the convex upper surface 110b of thehooks 112; - if it is required to use the heel piece for even steeper slopes the
lever 120 can be rotated (Fig. 7 ) towards the front until the third surface 123c of thecam 123 is positioned parallel to the longitudinal axis and rests on thebase piece 10 and therefore thefront fork 110 is pivoted down towards the front; in this position thelever 120 stably presses against thebase piece 10 and rests on thearms 111 and theheel 1a of the boot rests on the free end of thelever 120, causing a greater inclination of the boot itself, particularly favourable for steeper slopes. - Safety release of the heel piece during downhill use is performed as per the following sequence:
- the pulling force exerted by the boot 1 on the
hooks 112 of thefork 110 causes the latter to move upwards again and then rotate towards the rear against the pushing force of thespring 31 on thepin 34 and guided by theroller wheels 113a which roll along thetracks 24a, causing as a result disengagement of thehooks 112 from the pins of the boot which is thus free to separate from the ski. - It can therefore be seen how the heel piece according to the present invention, while ensuring a high degree of rigidity and absence of play in the transverse direction compared to the bindings known in the art, forms an assembly with a small number of component parts which is particularly light and simple to use, allowing a fast change in configuration by means of the rear lever which may also be operated using the ski stick, without the user having to bend over, this solution being particularly useful in the conditions of use which are typical of ski touring.
- In addition, the heel piece according to the invention incorporates the vertical release system which is provided by the backwards/rotational action of the heel piece, said action in turn causing compression of the reaction spring, this vertical release representing an obvious advance in the ski-touring sector also in view of the simple design and lightness of the assembly.
