Definitions

  • the invention relates to an automatic heel unit for a ski binding, in particular a touring ski binding, comprising a heel holder for holding a ski boot in a heel region of the ski boot and a heel holder carrier.
  • the heel holder is movably mounted on the heel holder carrier along an adjustment path relative to the heel holder carrier.
  • the heel unit has a holding configuration in which the heel holder is in a holding position and the heel holder can cooperate with the heel region of the ski boot held in the ski binding such that the heel region of the ski boot is held in a lowered position.
  • the heel box further has a walking configuration in which the heel holder is in a walking position and the heel portion of the ski boot held in the ski binding is released from the heel holder and can be lowered toward the ski without being locked in the lowered position by the heel holder.
  • Heel machines of the technical field mentioned above are known. Their task is to ensure a reliable fixation of the heel area of the ski boot on the ski in a holding configuration.
  • Some such heel machines in order to increase the safety of the skier, also allow, starting from the holding configuration, a safety release in which the heel area of the ski boot is released. This may be, for example, a safety release in the forward direction or a lateral safety release.
  • the term "safety release" means that the automatic heel releases the heel area of the ski boot if the energy of a shock on the ski boot, the ski binding or the ski exceeds a predetermined value. It is irrelevant whether the heel unit is in the holding configuration or in another configuration after the ski boot is released. In the case of impacts whose energy does not exceed this value, the automatic heel keeps the heel area of the ski boot locked.
  • ski binding to which the heel machine belongs should fulfill.
  • downhill ski bindings are only used for downhill skiing and downhill skiing at ski lifts.
  • touring ski bindings are also used for walking on skis, in particular for ascending with the help of climbing skins attached to the skis.
  • Cross-country skiing is used for cross-country skiing and telemark bindings for skiing with telemark technique.
  • downhill ski bindings have only to ensure a reliable fixation of the ski boot on the ski in a so-called holding position and to allow entry into the ski binding in a so-called entry position or release position.
  • cross-country and Telemarkitatien usually have to hold the ski only pivotable about an axis aligned in the ski direction axis and to allow entry into the ski binding.
  • touring ski bindings such as downhill ski bindings must ensure a reliable fixation of the ski boot on the ski in the holding position and allow entry into the ski binding.
  • they have to go on skis or for the Rise the ski boot can pivot around a aligned in the direction of the ski axis.
  • touring ski bindings have a walking position in which the ski boot is pivotable about an axis oriented in the direction of the ski and pivotable in the heel area of the ski, as in cross-country skiing and telemark binding, whereby a joint movement between the ski boot and the ski is made possible for walking.
  • the heel counter may be in different configurations in the walking position of a touring ski binding, depending on the construction and type of touring ski binding. For example, it may be in its holding configuration, in its starter configuration, in a trip configuration, or in a go configuration.
  • an heel automat is additionally required with such a cross-country or telemark binding, by means of which the ski boot can be lowered in its heel area towards the ski, and which the heel area of the ski boot can walk can release in the walking position of cross-country or telemark binding.
  • Touring ski bindings in turn are subdivided into three types.
  • the first type of touring ski bindings comprises a ski boot carrier to which the ski boot is held by a toe and an automatic heel.
  • the ski boot carrier in the walking position of the touring ski binding with the ski boot held therein is pivotable relative to the ski, while the heel machine is in its holding configuration and locks the heel area of the ski boot lowered to the ski boot carrier.
  • the ski boot carrier in the holding position of the touring ski binding the ski boot carrier is locked in a substantially ski-parallel alignment, whereby the ski boot held on the ski boot carrier is also correspondingly fixed on the ski.
  • the heel box is again in its holding configuration and locks the heel area of the ski boot lowered to the ski boot carrier.
  • a representative member of this first type of touring ski bindings is, for example, in WO 96/23559 A1 (Fritschi AG Apparatebau).
  • the second type of touring ski bindings relies on ski boots with stiff soles.
  • the ski boot is pivotally mounted in his toe area in a skim-mounted front automat.
  • the heel counter is in In this case, in a distance adapted to a ski boot sole length distance from the front vending machine firmly attached to the ski.
  • the heel box In the holding position of the touring ski binding, he is in his holding configuration and locks the ski boot in the heel area.
  • the heel box In the walking position of the touring ski binding, however, the heel box is in its walking configuration.
  • the heel of the ski boot is released from the heel counter, so that the ski boot can be lifted off the ski and swiveled around the storage on the front automat. It is irrelevant whether this Chakonfiguration at the same time corresponds to a possibly provided entry or release configuration of the heel unit or not.
  • a representative member of this type of touring ski bindings is, for example, in EP 2 762 209 A2 (Marker Germany GmbH).
  • the third type of touring ski bindings like the first type, comprises a ski boot carrier on which the ski boot is kept in the walking position. For this purpose, a binding jaws is provided on the front of the ski boot carrier, while only one retaining element is provided on the rear of the ski boot carrier.
  • An heel machine which can fix the heel of the ski boot in the holding position of the touring ski binding on the ski, is not arranged on the ski boot carrier, but directly on the ski. Therefore, in this third type of toe binding in the walking position, the ski boot is fixed to the ski boot carrier by the front binding jaw and the holding member while the heel box is in its walking configuration. In contrast, in the holding position of the touring ski binding, the ski boot is held with its sole aligned essentially in parallel with the ski by the front binding jaw and the heel automats located in the holding configuration.
  • a representative member of this type of touring ski bindings is, for example, in CH 706 664 A1 (Fritschi AG - Swiss Bindings).
  • heel machines that have a holding configuration and a Gehkonfiguration and possibly a trip configuration or entry-level configuration, in touring ski bindings of the second and third type and possibly also in cross-country or Telemarkitatien needed.
  • FIG DE 10 2014 004 874 A1 An example of an automatic heel having a holding configuration and a walking configuration is shown in FIG DE 10 2014 004 874 A1 (Zoor) described.
  • This Heel breaker comprises a heel holder which is rotatably mounted about an axis oriented horizontally in the cross-machine direction. In the holding configuration of the heel unit, the heel holder is in a holding position. To adjust the automatic heel unit in a walking configuration, the heel holder is pivoted about the axis back to the top in his walking position. In this position, the heel holder is pivoted out of the path of movement of the heel area of the ski boot, so that the ski boot can be lowered down to the ski when walking.
  • Such heel machines have the disadvantage that their heel holder is located in the positions behind the top. As a result, such heel machines in the housing configuration occupy a large volume and are therefore not compactly constructed.
  • some heel machines also include a ski brake to prevent inadvertent skid sliding when the ski boot is not held in the heel counter.
  • a ski brake is for example in the WO 2009/105866 A1 (G3 Genuine Guide Gear Inc).
  • the disclosed ski brake comprises a tread as an actuator and two free arms.
  • the two free arms are each arranged laterally of the ski in a vertical longitudinal plane aligned in the longitudinal direction of the ski and may be aligned substantially parallel or at an angle to the ski longitudinal axis.
  • the arms are mounted about a horizontal axis oriented in the direction of the ski axis pivotally mounted on the heel unit.
  • the ski brake is in a braking position.
  • the two free arms are pivoted upwards so that they no longer extend beyond the sliding surface of the ski.
  • the ski brake is in a driving position.
  • the ski brake is moved to the braking position, when a space above the tread is free and the tread surface can be moved away from the ski up, the ski brake is biased by a spring from the driving position to the braking position.
  • the ski brake is moved in the holding configuration of the heel unit in the braking position when no ski boot is held in the heel unit and the Tread prevents movement upwards.
  • a hook which is hooked on the tread surface can hold the ski brake in the driving position despite the bias to the braking position. This prevents the ski brake from being moved to the braking position as soon as the heel of the ski boot is lifted off the heel counter when walking.
  • the hook is moved from the heel configuration to the hold configuration to a deactivated position by the adjustment of the heel counter.
  • ski brakes have the disadvantage that the ski brake occupies a large volume and thus can not be constructed compact.
  • the EP 2 762 211 A2 Marker Kunststoff GmbH concerns an automatic heel unit for a combined downhill and touring binding for a ski.
  • the heel machine has a base plate and a connection structure with which a tensioning device is connected in a pivot joint.
  • the tensioner includes a tensioner body and a sole holder.
  • the heel holder on the ski is offset linearly to the rear.
  • the sole holder no longer presses the ski boot sole onto the ski boot sole and the ski boot heel can be lifted off the ski surface unhindered for the walking movement.
  • ski binding systems For the description of ski binding systems, a (fictitious) ski is often used as the reference system, assuming that the binding is mounted on this ski. This habit is taken over in the present text.
  • 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.
  • ski-parallel means aligned parallel to the sliding surface of the ski.
  • 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 in turn, means a center of the ski in the ski direction, while the term “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.
  • terms such as “horizontal” and “vertical” refer to the ski, with “horizontal” lying in a ski-parallel plane and “vertical” oriented perpendicular to this plane.
  • the term “height” refers to the distance measured in the vertical direction from an upper edge of the ski.
  • comparisons of the position of the heel holder in different positions of the heel holder refer to the center of gravity of the heel-holder.
  • the center of gravity is the mass-weighted mean of the positions of the mass points of the heel holder.
  • the statement that the heel holder is in a position further back or lower than in another position means that the center of gravity of the heel holder is in this position further back or lower than in the other position.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a the aforementioned technical field associated heel machines, which has a compact design.

It is irrelevant whether the heel holder is additionally pivoted relative to the heel holder carrier or not and thus changes its orientation relative to the heel holder carrier or not.
  • non-linear means that the center of gravity of the heel cup does not move relative to the heel cup carrier when the heel cup is moved relative to the heel cup carrier. This is the case, for example, when the heel holder is rotated about its center of gravity relative to the heel holder carrier.
  • the linear parts of the first range of the displacement path and the second range of the displacement path may also be rectilinear or curved independently of one another or each have both rectilinear and curved sections. In the walking configuration, the heel portion of the ski boot held in the ski binding is released from the heel cup and can be lowered toward the ski without being locked in the lowered position by the heel cup.

  • the heel holder is movable in a continuous movement from the first region of the adjustment path into the second region of the adjustment path and back.
  • the advantage of the solution according to the invention is that the heel holder is located in its position further back than in its holding position. This makes it possible to design the heel unit so that it occupies little space in the housing configuration. On the one hand, this increases the comfort of the skier when walking with the skis when the heel box is in the walking configuration. On the other hand, it will but also allows the heel machine to be designed more easily so that less snow can enter the heel cup when walking and block the heel mechanism mechanics due to icing.
  • the solution according to the invention has the advantage that the heel holder in its position can best be removed from the range of movement of the heel area of the ski boot while walking. This can reduce the risk that the heel holder in walking position hinders the heel area of the ski boot when walking, especially when snow or ice adheres to the heel area.
  • a further advantage of the solution according to the invention is that the heel holder can be moved in a simple manner from the first to the second region of the adjustment path, since it starts from the walking position along the first region of the adjustment path beyond its holding position out of the first region of the adjustment path at the top in a separate from the first region of the adjustment, adjoining the first region of the adjustment second range of the adjustment and back is movable. This facilitates the operation of the heel counter.

  • Such a safety release of a heel counter with similar kinematics is also for example in the WO 96/23559 A1 (Fritschi AG Apparatebau).
  • the energy that can be absorbed by the heel counter 1 in a fall until it comes to a safety release, can be adjusted by the bias of the spring 20 by means of the screw in the rear end of the recess.
  • the movement of the heel holder 4 described above along the second range of the adjustment can be done by operating the operating lever 7 or by a safety release. If the heel holder 4 is moved from its holding position into its release position by the actuating lever 7, the free upward-pointing end of the actuating lever 7 is rotated downwards about the axis 26. As a result, the cams 17 of the operating lever 7 are pivoted rearwardly upwards. Thus, the tips of the cam 17 press upwardly and rearwardly to the upper portion of the recesses 16. As a result, the heel holder 4 is pushed so far up until the connecting web 18 is moved with its vertical portion on the front of the nose 15 addition.
  • the heel holder 4 pivots about the axis 13 to the rear until the connecting web 18 rests with its lower slope on an upper side of the nose 15 of the heel holder carrier 3.
  • the cams 17, which press the heel holder 4 not only upwards, but also to the rear due to the shape of the recesses 16 of the heel holder 4.
  • the heel holder 4 is thus substantially linearly movable along the second region of the adjustment path.
  • the automatic heel unit 1 of the holding configuration in the release configuration and back is adjustable.
  • the automatic heel unit 1 also enables a safety release in the forward direction by the pretensioned spring 20.
  • the heel unit 1 is adjustable through the heel area of the ski boot from that in the holding configuration to the release configuration.
  • the second portion of the displacement of the heel holder 4 extends in a vertically oriented in the longitudinal direction of the plane.
  • the heel unit 1 can be adjusted from the holding configuration to the release configuration upon a safety release.
  • the heel holder 4 is lifted upwards by the heel region of the ski boot held in the automatic heel unit 1 from its holding position along the partial region of the adjustment path adjoining the first region of the adjustment path.
  • the heel area of the ski boot no longer holds down the actuating element 11 of the ski brake 8. Since the actuating element 11 of the ski brake 8 is biased upward, the actuating element 11 pivots upward when lifting the heel portion of the ski boot.
  • the free ends of the arms 12 move down.
  • the ski brake 8 is thereby adjusted from the driving position to the braking position.
  • the braking position of the ski brake 8 is in Figure 5a - 5c seen.
  • the heel unit 1 can also be adjusted from its release configuration into its holding configuration by inserting the heel region of the ski boot into the heel unit 1. If, in this case, the heel area of the ski boot is lowered toward the ski, the heel holder 4 is also moved from its release position to its holding position. During such an insertion of the ski boot, the sole of the ski boot touches the top of the actuating element 11 of the ski brake 8 at some point and pushes it downwards. Characterized the free ends of the arms 12 are rotated about the axis 9 upwards in a horizontal orientation and the ski brake 8 is moved from the braking position to the driving position.
  • the ski brake 8 is coupled to the heel holder 4, whereby the ski brake 8 can be moved by a movement of the heel holder 4 from its departure position to its walking position and back.
  • the bearing element 10 of the ski brake 8 for this purpose a driver 24.
  • This driver 24 is arranged in a rear region of the bearing element 10.
  • the driver 24 has an upwardly facing formation, wherein the driver 24 performs under the heel holder 4 and seen in the longitudinal direction of the ski formation is behind the connecting web 18 of the heel holder 4. If the heel holder 4 is moved backwards and downwards from its holding position along the first region of the adjustment path, the heel holder 4 pulls over the connecting web 18 the formation of the Driver 24 and thus the storage element 10 to the rear.
  • the ski brake 8 is thereby moved translationally from its front downhill position to its rearward walking position. In this walking position, the ski brake 8 can be locked in the braking position by a brake holder arranged on the base plate 2. If the heel holder 4 is moved forward and upward from its position to its holding position along the first region of the adjustment path, the carrier 24 and the bearing element 10 are displaced forward by the heel holder 4. The ski brake 8 is thereby adjusted from its walking position to its departure position.
