Definitions

  • the invention relates to an automatic heel for a ski binding, in particular a touring ski binding, comprising a base for mounting the automatic heel on a ski and a heel hold-down with a heel hold-down structure for holding down a ski boot held in the ski binding in a heel area of the ski boot.
  • the heel hold-down device is mounted so as to be movable relative to the base.
  • the automatic heel unit has a holding configuration in which the heel hold-down is in a holding position and the heel hold-down structure can interact with the heel area of the ski boot held in the ski binding in such a way that the heel area of the ski boot is held down in a lowered position.
  • the automatic heel unit also has an entry configuration in which the heel hold-down is in an entry position and the heel area of the ski boot is released from the heel hold-down structure.
  • a representative member of this first type of touring ski bindings is in the WO 96/23559 A1 (Fritschi AG Apparatebau).
  • the second type of touring ski bindings relies on ski boots stiff soles.
  • the ski boot is pivotably mounted in its toe area in a ski-mounted front machine.
  • the automatic heel unit is firmly attached to the ski at a distance from the automatic front unit adapted to a ski boot sole length and locks the ski boot in the heel area in its holding configuration or in the holding position of the touring ski binding.
  • the automatic heel unit preferably comprises an elastic element by means of which the heel hold-down is pretensioned downwards in its holding position with the heel hold-down structure, so that the heel area of the ski boot held in the ski binding is pressed down by the heel hold-down structure and thereby held down. It is irrelevant whether the heel hold-down is biased downwards as a whole or only with an area in which the heel hold-down structure is located. Independently of this, the pretensioning ensures that the heel hold-down structure is always in contact with the heel area of the ski boot in heel areas of ski boots with different dimensions and optimally depresses it.
  • the preload has the advantage that, if a Safety release is provided, an optimally controlled safety release can be made possible in that the heel hold-down structure must first be moved against the force generated by the pretensioned elastic element until a safety release occurs.
  • the heel hold-down in its holding position with the heel hold-down structure, is pretensioned by the elastic element in another direction, for example upwards or in a lateral direction.
  • the automatic heel unit does not comprise an elastic element by means of which the heel hold-down is pretensioned in its holding position with the heel hold-down structure.
  • the heel hold-down with the heel hold-down structure can be designed to be lockable in the holding position and in the entry position, for example by means of a catch.
  • the heel support structure is preferably shaped in such a way that, in the holding configuration of the automatic heel unit, it always interacts positively on both sides with the heel area of the ski boot in a direction horizontally transverse to the ski.
  • "form-fitting in one direction” or “form-fitting in directions” means that at least one connection area of the heel support structure and at least one connection area of the heel area of the ski boot interlock in such a way that a mechanical connection is created which causes the heel area to move relative to the heel support structure in the specified Direction or directions prevented and which, even with interrupted force transmission between the connection area of the heel support structure and the connection area of the heel area of the ski boot, cannot be released by moving the heel area relative to the heel support structure in the specified direction or specified directions.
  • the form-fitting connection can allow or also prevent movements of the heel area relative to the heel support structure in other directions.
  • the heel support structure can also be shaped in such a way that, in the holding configuration of the automatic heel unit, it moves in directions within an angular range, preferably within an angular range of -45 ° to + 45 ° Direction horizontally across the ski, interacts positively with the heel area of the ski boot.
  • the heel support structure thus acts with its at least one connection area on both sides completely form-fitting with the connection area of the heel area of the ski boot. This means that even when lateral forces occur that can arise during skiing, the heel support structure is always in contact with the heel area of the ski boot on both sides of the ski boot and interacts with it in a form-fitting manner. It is irrelevant whether the connection area of the heel support structure extends over the entire or only part of the heel support structure.
  • the form-fitting interaction offers the advantage that the heel area is securely supported in a horizontal direction across the ski even with high forces and with interrupted force transmission between the heel support structure and the heel area of the ski boot.
  • the heel area of the ski boot cannot inadvertently detach itself from the side of the automatic heel unit even in the event of a blow or vibration. This increases the safety for the skier.
  • the heel area of the ski boot does not have a counter structure.
  • the heel support structure interacts with one or more outer surfaces of the heel area of the ski boot.
  • the automatic heel also enables a safety release in the forward direction
  • holding the heel area of the ski boot relative to the heel hold-down structure optimizes the safety release in the forward direction, since the energy that can be absorbed by the automatic heel until the safety release occurs in the various types of skiing that occur Situations is more precisely defined.
  • the heel support structure is designed to permit movement of the heel area of the ski boot held in the ski binding in the holding configuration of the automatic heel in a direction horizontally across the ski within a limited area relative to the heel hold-down structure.
  • This has the advantage that the energy from strong blows and bumps that act on the ski, ski boot or ski binding when skiing in one direction horizontally across the ski, can be well received.
  • the length of the limited area in a direction measured horizontally across the ski is preferably at most 2 mm, more preferably at most 1 mm and particularly preferably at most 0.5 mm. This has the advantage that the heel area of the ski boot can be easily inserted into the automatic heel when getting into the ski binding and adjusting the automatic heel to the holding configuration.
  • the limited area can, however, also have a length greater than 2 mm. Regardless of the length of the limited area, in a preferred variant the heel support structure is immovable in the transverse direction of the ski relative to the heel hold-down structure or at most movable within the manufacturing tolerances, with the heel area of the ski boot held in the ski binding relative to the heel support structure and relative to the heel hold-down structure in the holding configuration of the automatic heel unit limited area can be moved horizontally across the ski in one direction. In another preferred variant thereof, however, the heel support structure can be moved within a limited range of motion relative to the heel hold-down structure in a direction horizontally transverse to the ski.
  • the heel hold-down device comprises more than one element.
  • Such a method of construction has the advantage that the element with the heel support structure and the element with the heel hold-down structure can be manufactured more easily. This advantage applies regardless of whether the heel hold-down structure is formed on a single element of the heel hold-down or extends over more than one element of the heel hold-down. This advantage also applies regardless of whether the heel support structure is formed on a single element of the heel hold-down or extends over more than one element of the heel hold-down.
  • the heel support structure is formed separately from the heel hold-down.
  • the heel support structure is then preferably formed on a unit of the automatic heel unit that is arranged separately from the heel hold-down device.
  • the heel hold-down structure is preferably arranged fixedly relative to the heel support structure. This means that, viewed from the heel support structure, the heel hold-down structure is always arranged at the same distance and at the same solid angle to the heel support structure and is aligned in the same way with the heel support structure, while the heel support structure, viewed from the heel hold-down structure, is always arranged at the same distance and at the same solid angle to the heel hold-down structure and is the same is aligned with the heel hold-down structure.
  • the heel hold-down structure and the heel support structure can indeed be moved and rotated in space.
  • the automatic heel unit has fewer moving parts, which enables inexpensive manufacture and simple assembly.
  • the heel hold-down can also be firmly connected to the heel support structure together with the heel hold-down structure.
  • the heel hold-down structure can be moved relative to the heel support structure. It is irrelevant in which direction the heel hold-down structure can be moved relative to the heel support structure and whether the movement takes place in three-dimensional space or in a plane. It is also irrelevant whether the movement is linear, curved or includes a rotation. Regardless of the type of movement, this has the advantage that, for example, a distance between the heel support structure and heel hold-down structure can be changed in order to adapt the automatic heel unit to different ski boot sizes or to facilitate entry for different ski boot sizes.
  • a heel hold-down structure that can be moved relative to the heel support structure offers the advantage that, if a safety release is provided, in the event of a safety release, the heel hold-down structure is moved independently of the heel support structure or the heel support structure is moved independently of the heel hold-down structure to release the ski boot from the automatic heel unit.
  • the direction in which the ski boot moves when it is released can be specified by the non-moving heel support structure or heel hold-down structure. This allows a more controllable safety release and increases the safety for the skier.
  • the heel hold-down structure is movable relative to the heel support structure and the heel support structure is arranged on the heel hold-down
  • the heel hold-down structure preferably extends over one or more elements of the heel hold-down that are separate from the heel support structure and relative to which the heel hold-down structure can be moved.
  • the heel support structure is formed on a single element or that the heel support structure extends over several elements, which are all formed separately from the heel hold-down structure. This has the advantage that the heel hold-down structure can be designed to be movable relative to the heel support structure in a simple manner.
  • the heel hold-down structure is movable relative to the heel support structure and the heel support structure is formed separately from the heel hold-down
  • the heel hold-down is preferably movable relative to the heel support structure. This has the advantage that the distance between the heel hold-down and the heel support structure can be changed, which makes it easier to get into the automatic heel unit.
  • a cross-section running horizontally through the forward-protruding heel support structure has two forward-pointing legs arranged side by side as a cantilever
  • a cross-section running in the area of the forward-pointing legs in the horizontal cross-section vertically in the transverse direction of the ski through the forward-protruding heel-support structure preferably has two side-by-side cross-sections arranged, down towards each other running sections.
  • the automatic heel unit does not have a support unit.
  • the heel support structure can be arranged, for example, on a surface of another element of the automatic heel unit, such as the base, for example.
  • the support unit preferably comprises at least one support element, the heel support structure being formed by the at least one support element. This has the advantage that the heel support structure can be constructed in a simple manner, since the heel support structure can be specifically adapted to the counter structure of the heel area of the ski boot with a support element.
  • the two legs are preferably formed from a single support element. This allows a simple construction and inexpensive production of the automatic heel with few components.
  • the two legs are formed from two support elements.
  • the two support elements advantageously each form one of the two legs. This offers the advantage that the distance measured horizontally in the transverse direction of the ski between the support elements can be adjusted during assembly. This enables the support unit to be adapted to the heel area of the ski boot.
  • the support unit does not include a support element.
  • the heel hold-down device can be moved from its entry position to its holding position by pressing the tread spur downwards in order to move the automatic heel unit from the entry configuration or any release configuration that may be present into the holding configuration.
  • the tread spur can also not be arranged on the heel hold-down device.
  • the automatic heel unit comprises a support unit with at least one support element
  • the at least one support element is advantageously mounted so as to be movable along an adjustment path relative to the base.
  • This has the advantage that the position of the at least one support element can be adapted to ski boots of different sizes.
  • the heel hold-down structure is movable relative to the heel support structure
  • the at least one support element can also preferably be moved independently of the heel hold-down structure along the adjustment path relative to the base.
  • This has the advantage that, for example, entry into the automatic heel can be made easier in that the at least one support element can be moved along the adjustment path during the entry process when the automatic heel is adjusted from the entry configuration to the holding configuration. It is irrelevant whether the adjustment path is curved or straight.
  • the adjustable carriage is curved.
  • the curvature of the adjustment path can be adapted to the curvature along which the heel area of the ski boot moves during the entry process.
  • the adjustment path is also designed in a straight line. This has the advantage that the at least one support element can be easily guided along the adjustment path.
  • the adjustment path can also be shaped differently.
  • the at least one support element is not movable and is, for example, fixedly or immovably connected to the base.
  • the adjustment path is oriented horizontally or in another direction.
  • the support unit preferably comprises an elastic element, by means of which the at least one support element is pretensioned upwards.
  • the elastic element preferably comprises one or more springs for generating the pretension.
  • the elastic element can also be designed differently. Regardless of this, the pretensioned at least one support element offers the advantage that it is always in the highest possible position on the adjustment path.
  • the upward bias also ensures that the at least one support element in the holding configuration of the automatic heel is always in contact with the ski boot held in the automatic heel, even with different ski boot sizes.
  • the support unit is pretensioned in a different direction, for example downwards.
  • the support unit does not comprise an elastic element by means of which the at least one support element is pretensioned upwards or in another direction. In this case, the support element can be manually adjusted to a desired position.
  • the automatic heel unit preferably enables a safety release.
  • This has the advantage that the safety for the skier is increased.
  • the automatic heel according to the invention can, as already mentioned, be constructed in a space-saving manner by separating the heel support structure from the heel hold-down structure compared to conventional heel machines, the automatic heel according to the invention also offers more space for the mechanism for the safety release.
  • the mechanism for the safety release can be made more massive.
  • the mechanism can be provided with a larger and stronger elastic element.
  • greater pretensioning with correspondingly higher release values for the ski binding can be achieved. This increases the safety of the skier with a particularly sporty driving style such as so-called freeriding.

  • the automatic heel 1 belongs to a ski binding which, in addition to the automatic heel 1, includes an automatic front automatic device (not shown here) and in which a ski boot can be held.
  • the ski boot can be held both in its toe area in the automatic front unit and with its heel area in the automatic heel unit 1 or, depending on the construction of the automatic front unit, also only with its toe area in the automatic front unit.
  • the automatic heel unit 1 comprises a base plate 7 which serves as a base for fastening or mounting the automatic heel unit 1 on a ski.
  • the automatic heel unit 1 further comprises a slide 2, a heel hold-down 3 with a heel hold-down structure 4 for holding down a ski boot, not shown here, held in the ski binding in the heel area of the ski boot, a heel support structure 6 for supporting the heel area of the ski boot held in the ski binding in a horizontal direction across the ski and an opening lever 5.
  • the slide 2 is mounted on the base plate 7 so that it can be moved in the longitudinal direction of the ski and, viewed in the longitudinal direction of the ski, can be fixed in various positions on the base plate 7 in order to adapt the automatic heel unit 1 to ski boots of different sizes.

  • a heel support 15 for supporting the heel area of the ski boot held in the ski binding is arranged on the slide 2 downwards to the ski.
  • the heel hold-down device 3 In the entry-level configuration of the automatic heel unit 1, the heel hold-down device 3 is located as in FIG Figure 1 shown in an entry position. In addition, the opening lever 5 is in an entry position. In addition to this entry-level configuration, the automatic heel unit 1 also has a holding configuration. In this holding configuration of the automatic heel unit 1, the heel downholder 3 is in a holding position which differs from the entry position. In addition, the opening lever 5 is in a holding position. In the holding position, the heel hold-down 3 can hold the heel region 50 of a ski boot held in the ski binding, as in FIG Figure 2b shown in a lowered position with the heel hold-down structure 4 and support with the heel support structure 6 in a direction horizontally across the ski.
  • the heel downholder 3 By moving the opening lever 5 from its holding position to its entry position and back, the heel downholder 3 can be moved from its holding position to its entry position and back relative to the slide 2.

  • the heel hold-down structure 4 does not, however, have to be in the shape of a circular piece. It can, for example, also be shaped in a straight line and oriented horizontally in the transverse direction of the ski and thus the heel area of the ski boot not laterally forward reach around. Regardless of its shape, the heel hold-down structure 4 holds down the heel area of the ski boot by pressing the sole area protruding backwards downwards.

  • the support unit 113 also comprises an elastic element in the form of a spring 114.
  • the support unit is pretensioned upwards away from the ski by this spring 114. Since the projections 110.1, 110.2 of the support unit 113, as in the embodiment of the previously described automatic heel unit 1, form sections running downwards in a vertical cross section running in the transverse direction of the ski through the projections 110.1, 110.2, they also serve for the heel area 50 of the ski boot downwards to the ski as a support.
  • the heel area 50 of the ski boot rests on the projections 110.1, 110.2 and presses the support element against the bias of the spring 114 something down. Due to the spring 114, however, the support element is held upwards in its highest possible position. This ensures that the projections 110.1, 110.2 and thus the heel support structure 103 always interacts positively on both sides with the heel area 50 of the ski boot in a direction horizontal across the ski.
  • the heel region 50 of the ski boot held in the holding configuration in the automatic heel device 101 is supported by the heel support 115 downwards towards the ski.
  • the heel area 50 of the ski boot held in the holding configuration in the automatic heel unit can be supported by projections of the heel support structure downward towards the ski instead of a heel support. If, as in the two automatic heel units 1, 101 described above, the projections form sections running downwards towards one another in a vertical cross-section running in the transverse direction of the ski through the projections, the heel area 50 of the ski boot in the holding configuration can for example also be supported by these projections.
  • the support element of the support unit 113 is in the entry position at an upper end of its vertical adjustment path.
  • the axis 108 of the heel hold-down 103 is likewise located at an upper end of the elongated hole 112. As a result, the heel hold-down 103 is also in an upper position in the entry position.
  • Figure 3c shows the automatic heel unit 101 in the holding configuration.
  • the heel hold-down 103 is pivoted forward in its holding position and the axis 108 is located in the lower, first area of the adjustment path.
  • the support element of the support unit 113 is also moved slightly downwards. Due to the bias of the spring 114, however, the support element of the support unit 113 is pressed from bottom to top against the counter structure 51 of the heel region 50 of the ski boot held in the ski binding. This ensures that the projections 110.1, 110.2 are always in contact with the recesses of the counter structure 51 from below and on both sides.
  • the counter-structure 51 thereby interacts horizontally on both sides with the heel support structure 106 in a form-fitting manner during the entire time that the automatic heel 101 is in the holding configuration and the ski boot is held in the automatic heel 101.
  • Figure 3c It can be seen that the heel region 50 of the ski boot is supported by the heel support 115 in a downward direction towards the ski.
  • Figure 3d shows a view from the rear to the front of a vertically aligned section running in the transverse direction of the ski through the automatic heel unit 101 in the holding configuration with a ski boot held in the ski binding.
  • the cut runs through a front area of the automatic heel unit 101 so that it runs through the forwardly protruding heel hold-down structure 104 and the projections 110.1, 110.2 of the heel support structure.
  • the inner surface of the projections 110.1, 110.2 are at the same angle Vertical like the side surfaces of the structural element 53.
  • both side surfaces of the structural element 53 are in contact with the inner surfaces of the projections 110.1, 110.2.
  • the heel region 50 is held in a form-fitting manner on both sides in a horizontal direction transverse to the ski.
  • the heel support 115 of the slide 102 supports the heel area 50 downwards towards the ski.
  • the heel area 50 of the ski boot is thus supported via the structural element 53 of the counter structure 51 through the projections 110.1, 110.2 of the heel support structure 106 only in one direction horizontally across the ski and through the heel support 115 of the slide 102 down to the ski.
  • the heel area 50 of the ski boot is held down via the rearwardly protruding sole area 52 in the heel area 50 of the ski boot by the circular piece-shaped heel hold-down structure 104.
  • an automatic heel unit according to the invention can also be used for other ski bindings, such as, for example, downhill bindings.
  • the heel hold-down with the heel hold-down structure and the slide can also be designed in one piece as one element.
  • the heel support structure can be designed to be movable or fixed with respect to this one-piece element.
  • the heel support structure is arranged directly on the slide.
  • the heel support structure can not be arranged on the heel downholder, but rather form an independent element of the automatic heel unit.
  • the heel support structure does not have to interact positively with the counter-structure of the heel area of the ski boot, as described above.
  • the connection between the automatic heel unit and the ski boot can also be non-positive or positive and non-positive.
  • the heel area of the ski boot does not have to have a counter structure.
  • the heel support structure can also be designed in such a way that it interacts directly with a rear end of the heel region of the ski boot.
  • the heel support structure is movable and pretensionable, an elastic element other than the spring 114 can also be used.
  • an elastic element other than the spring 114 can also be used.
  • the heel support structure is not pretensioned upwards, but in a different orientation.
  • the described adjustment path of the support element of the support unit can also be oriented not in a vertical direction but, for example, in an inclined or horizontal direction.
  • the adjustment path can also be curved.
  • an automatic heel unit which is lightly constructed and yet allows the skier to drive in a sporty manner.
