Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the technical sector concerning equipment utilised in ski mountaineering.
  • the invention relates to an insert for a ski mountaineering boot, to enable the ski boot to be hooked by a ski mountaineering binding, such as for example a toe-piece of a ski mountaineering binding.
  • a toe-piece of a ski binding for ski mountaineering comprises a base, which is fixed to the ski, and a pair of jaws on which hooking elements are mounted, facing one another, known as pins, which serve to hook the toe-piece to the front part of a ski mountaineering boot.
  • the jaws are mounted rotatably on the base in such a way as to be activated, due to the presence of elastic means that can be activated by means of a lever, to move the hooking elements between a splayed configuration, in which the hooking elements are moved away from one another by a distance such as to enable the insertion there-between of the front part of a ski boot, and a neared hooked configuration in which the hooking elements are neared to one another for the hooking of the ski boot.
  • ski boots for ski mountaineering there are special inserts, made of a plastic material, such as for example steel, which are inserted and fixed in the front part of the ski boots during their manufacture.
  • An insert for ski boot for ski mountaineering of known type comprises a body having an elongate shape having two heads at the relative two ends.
  • the body having the elongate shape is made in such a way as to have an extension such that, once inserted in the ski boot, the two heads are at the opposite lateral walls of the front part of the ski boot.
  • the known insert also comprises two blind seats which are realised at the two heads, and externally accessible.
  • the two blind seats have a matching shape to that of the hooking elements present in the two jaws of the toe-pieces of the ski bindings.
  • the hooking elements are made in such a way as to comprise a main cylindrical portion and an end portion having a conical shape, which is functional for the unhooking if there is a fall.
  • the blind seats in the two heads of the inserts are made in such a way as to comprise an external insertion portion, for the insertion of the hooking element, having a cylindrical shape that matches the main cylindrical portion of the hooking element, and an internal end run portion, which constitutes an abutment for the end portion of the hooking element, having a conical shape matching the conical end portion of the hooking element.
  • the blind seats can fill with snow as well as detritus, water, or can accumulate moisture.
  • the metal material of which the inserts are made facilitates the formation of ice and therefore the snow, water and moisture present inside the seats can freeze.
  • An aim of the present invention is therefore to describe a new insert for a ski mountaineering ski boot, for hooking the ski boot to a ski mountaineering binding, in particular a toe-piece of a ski mountaineering binding, able to obviate the drawbacks discussed in the preceding.
  • an aim of the present invention is therefore to describe a new insert for a ski mountaineering ski boot, able to prevent an accumulation of snow, detritus, water or moisture, in the seats included to receive the hooking elements of the ski mountaineering binding, thus preventing the formation of ice and enabling the skier always to achieve a correct and complete hooking of the binding of the ski boot.
  • the insert (100) is realised so as to comprise a body (1) having an elongate shape which comprises, at the relative two ends, two heads (10, 20), and having dimensions and a length such that the two heads (10, 20), when the insert (100) is inserted in and fixed to the ski boot (S), are positioned at lateral portions (L1, L2) of a front part (AS) of the ski boot (S) (see for example figures 1A , 1B and 2A ).
  • the insert (100) is inserted and fixed to the ski boot (S) so as to enable hooking the ski boot (S) to a binding (A) for ski mountaineering, i.e. a toe-piece.
  • a toe-piece for ski mountaineering comprises a first hooking element (A1) and a second hooking element (A2), facing one another, and movable between a splayed configuration (S1), in which the first hooking element (A1) and the second hooking element (A2), are in a splayed position with respect to one another to enable inserting there-between a front part (AS) of a ski boot for ski mountaineering, and a neared configuration (S2) wherein the first hooking element (A1) and a second hooking element (A2) are in a neared position with respect to one another, for the hooking of the ski boot (S) by means of the insert (100).
  • S1 splayed configuration
  • AS front part
  • S2 neared configuration
  • the insert (100) is realised so as to comprise:
  • insert (100) further comprises a first pin (13) in the first housing (11) and a second pin (23) in the second housing (21).
  • the insert (100) is configured and predisposed so that, when the ski boot is not hooked to the toe-piece of the ski mountaineering binding:
  • the insert (100) of the invention prevents snow, any detritus or water from entering the first through-seat (12) and the second through-seat (22), and it also prevents the two through-seats from accumulating moisture.
  • the insert (100) is also configured in such a way that:
  • the presence of the end portions of the two pins at the two through-seats of the insert prevents snow or water from entering the seats, or moisture from accumulating in them, preventing the formation of ice, and also preventing any detritus from accumulating in the seats.
  • the two seats of the insert destined to receive the two hooking elements of the toe-piece for the hooking of the ski boot, are thus maintained free of snow, ice, detritus and moisture.
  • the two pins can be pushed into the relative two housings by the insertion of the two hooking elements of the binding into the two through-seats, enables the skier to easily carry out the hooking of the toe-piece to the ski boot, with the certainty that the hooking is done completely and safely.
  • the insert of the invention brilliantly obviates the drawbacks present in the inserts of the prior art and evidenced in the preamble, protecting the seats of the insert from the formation of ice, from the accumulation of snow, detritus or moisture, thus giving the certainty to the skier to be able to carry out the hooking of the ski mountaineering binding to the ski boot completely and safely in any circumstance.
  • the insert (100) is realised and configured in such a way as to comprise first means (3) for maintaining the position and for moving the first pin (13) and second means (4) for maintaining the position and for moving the second pin (23).
  • the first means (3) for maintaining the position and for moving the first pin (13) are configured and predisposed so as:
  • the second means (4) for maintaining the position and for moving the second pin (23) are configured and predisposed so as:
  • the first means (3) for maintaining the position and for moving the first pin (13) can be made in such a way as to comprise a first elastic pusher element (31) (for example constituted by a spring) which is inserted and predisposed in the first housing (11) so as to be in contact with the first pin (13) and push the first pin (13) out of the first housing (11) towards the first through-seat (12) of the first head (10), and a first end run (32) predisposed and configured so as to maintain the first pin (13) in the relative external position (E1) against the pushing action of the first elastic pusher element (31), so that the end part (130) of the first pin (13) is positioned at, and occupies, the first through-seat (12) of the first head (10).
  • a first elastic pusher element (31) for example constituted by a spring
  • the first elastic pusher element (31) (for example constituted by a spring) is also configured to enable the first pin (13) to be pushable into the first housing (11) by the inserting of the first hooking element (A1) into the first through-seat (12), and in order to push the first pin (13) newly towards the outside of the first housing (11) against the first end run (32) following an exit of the first hooking element (A1) from the first through-seat (12).
  • the second means (4) for maintaining the position and for moving the second pin (23) can be made in such a way as to comprise: a second elastic pusher element (41) (for example constituted by a spring) which is inserted and predisposed in the second housing (21) so as to be in contact with the second pin (23) and push the second pin (23) out of the second housing (21) towards the second through-seat (22) of the second head (20) and a second end run (42) predisposed and configured so as to maintain the second pin (23) in the relative external position (E1') against the pushing action of the elastic pusher element (41), so that the end part (230) of the second pin (23) is positioned at, and occupies, the second through-seat (22) of the second head (20).
  • a second elastic pusher element (41) for example constituted by a spring
