Definitions

  • the invention relates to an automatic heel unit for a ski binding, in particular a touring ski binding, with a base element for mounting the heel unit on the top of a ski and on the base element in the longitudinal direction movably mounted carriage, on which a heel holder with at least one holding means for holding a ski boot in a heel area the ski boot is arranged.
  • This automatic heel has at least one climbing position, in which the carriage with the heel holder is in a rear position and the heel area of a ski boot held in the ski binding is released.
  • the automatic heel unit has a downhill position in which the slide with the heel holder is located further forward than in the at least one rise position and the at least one holding means can interact with the heel area of a ski boot held in the ski binding such that the ski boot is in a lowered position is locked.
  • the automatic heel unit comprises an adjusting lever for adjusting the automatic heel unit from the downhill position to the at least one climbing position and back.
  • ski bindings in downhill ski bindings, touring ski bindings, cross-country bindings and telemark bindings can be subdivided.
  • Downhill ski bindings are used only for downhill skiing and downhill skiing, whereas touring ski bindings are also used for walking on skis, especially for ascending by means of skins attached to the skis, while cross-country skiing bindings and telemark bindings for telemark skiing are used .
  • downhill ski bindings have only to ensure a reliable fixation of the ski boot on the ski in a so-called downhill position.
  • cross-country skiing as well as telemark bindings usually only have to keep the ski boot pivotable about an axis oriented in the direction of the ski, whereas touring ski bindings must both have a downhill position and be able to be brought uphill from the downhill position into a climbing position.
  • the ski boot as in cross-country and telemark bindings, can be pivoted about an axis oriented in the direction of the ski and can be lifted off the ski in the heel area, thereby enabling a joint movement between the ski boot and the ski for walking.
  • ski binding in a cross-country skiing and telemark binding in addition a downhill position is desired, it is in such a ski binding as touring ski bindings the requirement that the ski binding both in a downhill position and in the ascent position corresponding position must be able to be brought in which the ski boot order a Skiquerraum aligned axis is pivotally held.
  • ski longitudinal direction means along the orientation of the longitudinal axis of the ski.
  • skiparallel means aligned for an elongate object along the longitudinal axis of the ski.
  • parallel to the ski means parallel to the sliding surface of the Ski aligned.
  • ski direction means a direction transverse to the ski longitudinal direction, which, however, need not be oriented exactly at right angles to the longitudinal axis of the ski. Their orientation may also be slightly different from a right angle.
  • ski center means a center of the ski in the ski direction
  • ski manifest does not mean that it can move in relation to the ski.
  • ski refers to the reference system of the (fictional) ski.
  • front, rear, top, “bottom” and “side” refer to “front”, “rear”, “top”, “bottom” and “side” of the ski.
  • horizontal and vertical refer to the ski, with “horizontal” lying in a ski-parallel plane and “vertical” oriented perpendicular to this plane.
  • Touring ski bindings in turn can be divided into two types.
  • the first type relies on ski boots with stiff soles.
  • the ski boot is pivotally mounted in his toe area in a skim-mounted front automat.
  • the automatic heel of this touring ski bindings is mounted on the ski in a distance adapted to a ski boot sole length from the front automaton and locks the ski boot in the heel area in the downhill position. In the ascent position, however, the heel of the ski boot is released from the heel counter, whereby the ski boot can be lifted off the ski and pivoted about the storage on the front automat.
  • a representative member of this type of touring ski bindings is, for example, in EP 0 199 098 A2 (Bartel Fritz).
  • the second type of touring ski bindings comprises a ski boot carrier to which the ski boot is held by binding jaws.
  • the ski boot carrier with the ski boot held therein can be pivoted relative to the ski.
  • the ski boot carrier In the downhill position, however, the ski boot carrier is locked in a substantially ski-parallel alignment, as a result of which the ski boot held on the ski boot carrier is also correspondingly fixed on the ski.
  • a representative member of this type of touring ski bindings is, for example, in EP 1 679 099 B1 (Fritschi AG - Swiss Bindings).
  • the touring ski binding comprises an automatic heel unit arranged on the ski, which enables a safety release in the forward direction.
  • the automatic heel comprises a heel holder which is slidably mounted on a skifest arranged base element in the ski longitudinal direction. This allows the heel holder in the ascent position in a rear position in which it is moved away from the heel of the ski boot and the heel area of the ski boot is released. In the downhill position, however, the heel holder can be due to its displaceability compared to the ascent position further forward on the ski and interact with the heel area of the ski boot. Through this interaction, the ski boot can be locked in his heel area. Examples of such heel machines are in the WO 2012/024809 A1 (Fritschi AG - Swiss Bindings) and in the WO 2009/105866 A1 (Genuine Guide Gear Inc.).
  • the Indian WO 2012/024809 A1 described heel machine comprises a skifestes base member and a slidably mounted in the ski longitudinal direction heel holder. Further, this automatic heel comprises a lever with which the heel holder can be moved in the ski longitudinal direction.
  • the adjusting lever is pivotally mounted about a pivot axis on the heel holder and via a slotted guide on the base element.
  • this embodiment has the disadvantage that the slotted guide easily clogged with snow and ice and thus can be blocked.
  • the adjusting lever is pivotally mounted about a pivot axis on the base member and abuts with a arranged below the pivot axis element towards the rear against a heel holder arranged stop.
  • the heel holder is pushed forward by a spring. Therefore, when the adjusting lever is pulled up, the element of the adjusting lever arranged below the pivot axis presses against the stop on the heel holder, whereby the heel holder is moved backwards. If the lever, however, after pivoted down, so the element of the actuating lever free space in front of the arranged on the heel holder stopper, whereby the heel holder can be moved by the spring forward.
  • this design results in that the lever for the transfer of the heel unit in the ascent position against the force caused by the spring must be pulled up. Since the spring force is large, a corresponding amount of force is required to pull up the lever.
  • WO 2009/105866 A1 described heel machine also a skifestes base element, a displaceably mounted on the base member in the ski longitudinal direction heel holder and a lever.
  • the adjusting lever is as in the second embodiment of WO 2012/024809 A1 pivotally mounted about a pivot axis on the base member.
  • a lever element which is pivotally mounted about a first axis on the heel holder and pivotable about a second axis on the adjusting lever.
  • the lever element is arranged behind the heel holder and in front of the adjusting lever and the first axis is located in front of the second axis.
  • the pivot axis and the second axis are arranged on the adjusting lever, that the second axis is moved backwards up when the adjusting lever is pivoted about the pivot axis back down in a direction parallel to the ski. With this movement of the second axis, the heel holder is pulled backwards via the lever element. In order to allow a sufficiently long distance of the heel holder, however, the lever element and the distance between the pivot axis and the second axis must be sufficiently large. This leads to the heel box occupying a large volume.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a heel machine belonging to the technical field mentioned above, in which the disadvantages described above are eliminated.
  • the adjusting lever is pivotally mounted on the carriage about a pivot axis and the automatic heel comprises a lever element, which is mounted pivotably about a first axis on the base member and is pivotally mounted about a second axis on the adjusting lever.
  • This design has the advantage that the heel machine can be built very compact.
  • One reason for this is, for example, that the adjusting lever is mounted on the carriage and thus is moved forward with a movement of the heel counter in the downhill position together with the carriage. As a result, the heel unit is not pulled apart in the downhill position, but remains compact.
  • the adjusting lever can be arranged in front of the lever element. As a result, the adjusting lever extends in a substantially skiparallel aligned position less far to the rear than if the adjusting lever were arranged behind the lever element.
  • the concrete shape of the control lever does not matter.
  • the lever may be horseshoe-shaped, wherein the pivot axis and the second axis extend through the two ends of the curved, horseshoe-like shape.
  • the opposite curved portion of the control lever can be regarded as a free end of the control lever and, for example, depending on the position of the control lever up, back up, back or back down show.
  • the adjusting lever may also have, for example, an elongate, rod-like shape with a free, lever-like end.
  • the adjusting lever can also have the shape of a setting disk. In the latter case, the lever can have a rounded, disc-like or cake-like shape, on the outer edge of the lever can be operated similar to a steering wheel.
  • the concrete shape of the lever element does not matter.
  • the lever element may be rod-shaped and may be pivotably mounted about the first axis in the region of a first end and pivotally about the second axis in the region of a second end.
  • the lever element can also be designed, for example, as disk-shaped or any other shape.
  • the lever element may have two areas, which are aligned parallel to each other and extend from the first axis to the second axis and which are interconnected by a connecting portion.
  • the connection region can connect the two rod-like regions in the region of the first axis or in the region of the second axis or in between.
  • Such a shape of the lever element has the advantage that the lever element can be supported in a wide manner about the first axis and about the second axis. As a result, better stability can be achieved, and rotation of the lever member about an axis perpendicularly intersecting the first axis or the second axis or both the first and second axes can be prevented, for example. As a variant, however, there is also the possibility that two or more than two lever elements are present, which are arranged parallel to each other together about the first axis and pivotally mounted about the second axis.
  • a ski binding in particular a touring ski binding, comprises an automatic heel unit according to the invention.
  • a ski in particular a touring ski, comprises a ski binding with the heel automat according to the invention.
  • an automatic heel piece according to the invention is alone.
  • the pivot axis, the first axis and the second axis are aligned parallel to each other.
  • This has the advantage that during a pivoting movement of the adjusting lever and the lever element about the pivot axis and about the first and second axis of the carriage with the heel holder along a linear, linear path is moved while maintaining a same orientation relative to the ski.
  • the pivot axis, the first axis and the second axis are each aligned in Skiquerides. This can be achieved at a movement of the adjusting lever and the lever member about the pivot axis, about the first axis and about the second axis of the carriage with the heel holder in the longitudinal direction can be moved.
  • the pivot axis, the first axis and the second axis can also be aligned at a different angle to the ski.
  • the pivot axis, the first axis and the second axis are not aligned parallel to each other.
  • the axes can be arranged arbitrarily.
  • the axes can not be arranged parallel to one another in such a way that the carriage moves with the heel holder not only in the longitudinal direction of the ski when the adjusting lever and the lever element move about the pivot axis and about the first and second axis, but also about one vertical axis aligned to the ski can be swiveled.
  • the adjusting lever viewed from the pivot axis in one direction, has a free end on which the adjusting lever can be grasped and actuated.
  • the adjusting lever for example, as already described may have an elongated shape or horseshoe-shaped.
  • the free end is formed by the free end of the oblong shape or by the bent region of the horseshoe-like shape. If the adjusting lever, however, has a rounded, disc-like or cake-piece-like shape, then the outer edge of the adjusting lever is the free end to which the control lever can be operated in a manner similar to a steering wheel.
  • the adjusting lever has no free end for actuation.
  • the adjusting lever may for example be rod-shaped, wherein the pivot axis are arranged in the region of one end and the second axis in the region of the other end of the actuating lever.
  • the adjusting lever for example, between the pivot axis and the second axis can be made tangible and operable accordingly.
  • the free end of the control lever in the at least one rise position is aligned substantially in the back parallel to the ski. This has the advantage that it can be quickly recognized by the orientation of the adjusting lever that the automatic heel unit is in the at least one climbing position.
  • the free end of the adjusting lever in the at least one climbing position can also not be aligned substantially in the back parallel to the ski.
  • the free end of the control lever in the at least one rise position for example, also obliquely backwards downwards or obliquely backward upwards be aligned.
  • the free end of the control lever in the downhill position obliquely backwards above. If, moreover, the free end of the adjusting lever in the at least one climbing position is aligned essentially in the back-to-back or rear-down direction of the ski, the automatic heel unit can be transferred to the downhill position by pulling up the free end of the adjusting lever. In addition, in this case, by lowering the free End of the control lever to the ski towards the heel automat in which at least one ascent position be brought. The latter can also be achieved in that the ski and the free end of the control lever are compressed with one or two hands.
  • the free end of the control lever in the downhill position can not be aligned obliquely back up.
  • the free end of the control lever in the ascent position for example, also be aligned in a substantially parallel to the rear or obliquely rearward upward.
  • the free end of the control lever in the downhill position is pointing obliquely back up, so the free end of the control lever is advantageously protected in the downhill position both towards the front and to the side.
  • the free end of the actuating lever may be protected, for example by a housing of the carriage or the heel holder.
  • the free end of the control lever can also be protected, for example, by one or more climbing aid levers, which point in the downhill position to the rear or obliquely behind the top.
  • Such protection of the control lever serves to ensure that the control lever in the down position of the front automatic when skiing can not be accidentally pressed down, causing the lever would be moved from the downhill position. Accordingly, this has the advantage that the safety for the skier is increased.
  • the lever is only protected against the front or only to the side.
  • the latter may be advantageous, for example, if the adjusting lever is already protected by the heel area of the ski boot because it points steeply upwards in the downhill position.
  • the lever can also is not protected against the front or to the side. This may be advantageous, for example, when the adjusting lever engages in the downhill position in a sufficient locking position.
  • the pivot axis and the second axis lie in a first plane.
  • the adjusting lever has a free end, the direction in which, viewed from the pivoting axis, the free end of the setting lever points, defines a straight line which advantageously intersects the first plane.
  • the free end of the adjusting lever is advantageously not with the pivot axis and the second axis in the first plane.
  • the straight line may intersect the first plane at a right angle. But there is also the possibility that the straight line intersects the first plane at a different, shallower angle.
  • this orientation of the free end of the actuating lever relative to the pivot axis and the second axis has the advantage that, for example, the first plane from the top front to the bottom can run down, while the free end of the actuating lever to the rear or at the top back.
  • the pivot axis may be arranged above and in front of, or below, and behind the second axis in the first plane, wherein the skier, due to the orientation of the free end of the control lever, can still grasp and actuate the adjusting lever well.
  • pivot axis and the second axis are together with the free end of the actuating lever in the first plane or that the pivot axis and the second axis are not in a same plane.
  • the pivot axis and the second axis lie in a first plane, wherein a first normal vector is oriented perpendicular to the first plane and points upwards from the first plane in the downhill position, and the first axis and the second axis are preferably in a second plane , wherein a second normal vector is oriented perpendicular to the second plane and in the downhill position, starting from the second plane pointing upward, wherein intersect in the at least one rise position of the first normal vector and the second normal vector at an angle which is smaller than 160 °, in particular less than 140 °, in particular is less than 120 °.
  • the orientation of the first normal vector which points upward in the downhill position from the first plane, defines an orientation of the adjusting lever, which relates to the arrangement of the pivot axis and the second axis.
  • the orientation of the possibly existing free end of the control lever is irrelevant. But if the lever has a free end and the direction in which, viewed from the pivot axis shows the free end of the actuating lever, defines a straight line which intersects a first plane or which lies in this first plane, it is in the said first plane about the same first plane, to which, according to the definition above, the first normal vector is oriented vertically.
  • the orientation of the second normal vector which points upwards from the second plane in the downhill position, defines an orientation of the lever element which relates to the arrangement of the first axis and the second axis.
  • Both definitions are based on the fact that the respective normal vector points upwards in the downhill position. This means that the respective normal vector, starting from its point of intersection with the corresponding plane, lies within a half-sphere, which is arranged above a plane extending through the corresponding intersection, horizontal and thus plane-parallel. If, according to these two definitions, the first plane and the second plane are aligned parallel to one another with identical normal vectors pointing upwards, then the two normal vectors do not intersect and therefore have a cutting angle of 0 °.
  • the intersection angle of the two normal vectors is 180 °. Accordingly, the indication of the maximum cutting angle of the two normal vectors in the at least one rise position means an upper limit within which the pivot axis, the first axis and the second axis are arranged in the at least one rise position to each other.
  • This upper limit has the advantage that in the at least one rise position, a geometry of the arrangement of the pivot axis, the first axis and the second axis is ensured, starting from which the pivoting of the actuating lever generates a desired movement of the lever member, whereby the automatic heel unit in the downhill position can be transferred.
  • the pivot axis, the first axis and the second axis are aligned differently to each other.
  • the actuating lever and the lever element are in the down position of the heel unit in a downhill configuration, wherein the lever and the lever element are pivotable relative to each other about the second axis in a first pivot direction to the departure configuration for transferring the heel unit in the down position, in one the last section of the pivoting movement in the downhill configuration, the pivot axis and the first axis are moved towards each other, and wherein in the downhill configuration further pivotal movement of the control lever and the lever member is blocked relative to each other in the first pivot direction, whereby in the down position of the heel unit further movement of the Swivel axis and the first axis is blocked to each other.
  • the heel counter can, for example, in be kept in the downhill position by the heel holder is prevented from moving forward. This can be done for example by a ski boot, which is held in a ski binding comprehensive the heel machine. This ski boot is held between a front holding unit and the heel unit, thereby preventing the heel holder from moving forward and thus allowing the heel unit to be moved out of the downhill position.
  • the lever and the lever element are in the down position of the heel unit in another departure configuration, in which the pivot axis, the first axis and the second axis are arranged in a common plane .
  • the advantage can also be achieved that the ski boot can be securely held in a ski binding comprising the automatic heel, because the heel holder can not be pushed unintentionally against the base element to the rear.
  • the lever or the lever element or both the lever and the lever element should be able to engage in the down position in a locking position.
  • the base element comprises a fastening element and an intermediate element, wherein the fastening element can be fastened to the ski and the intermediate element is mounted so as to be displaceable relative to the fastening element in the ski longitudinal direction on the fastening element.
  • the intermediate element can be moved together with the carriage and the heel holder relative to the fastening element and thus against the ski. It does not matter whether the carriage for the adjustment of the heel unit from the downhill position in the at least one rise position on the intermediate element or the fastener in a rear position and in a position further forward than the rear position is movably mounted.
