Definitions
- the present invention relates to a ski eq uipment, and more specifically a locking device for locking a ski binding to a mounting plate on a ski, so that the ski bind ing can be adjusted in the longitudinal direction relative to the mounting plate and be locked to the mounting plate after adj ustment.
- ski bindings After it has become common to attach ski bindings to mounting plates, several solutions have been suggested to be able to move the ski binding on the mounting plate without using tools. This can either be done as part of the adj ustment when the binding is attached to the mounting plate, or subsequently if the user wants to change the characteristics of the ski, for instance to cha nge the attachment or skidding properties. It can also be used for adj usting the skis to a new user.
- the International patent publication WO2015140258 A1 shows a locking mechanism with a lever arm in the ski binding, which has a downward pin that can be pressed down and attached in different notches in the longitudinal d irection of the mounting plate.
- a snap lock is shown at the end of the lever arm, so that the latter is pressed down into a track in the binding and secured with a corresponding profile in the front edge of the track when the locking mechanism is locked, so that the pin will not slide out of the notch in the mounting plate.
- the invention is a locking device for locking a ski binding on a mounting plate arranged to be mounted on a ski.
- the locking device is simple to use and ensures that the ski binding does not begin to slide or jump in the longitudinal direction of the mounting plate when in use. Moreover, it is simple to manufacture and mount to the ski binding, so that the costs of such locking device can be reduced.
- the locking device is arranged to be in a locked position, in which the ski binding is locked relative to the mounting plate in a longitudinal direction, and in an open position, in which the ski binding can be moved relative to the mounting plate in the longitudinal direction, wherein corresponding first locking elements in the locking device and in the mounting plate engage with each other in the locked position, wherein the locking device comprises a force-transmitting element with opposite ends, wherein the force-transmitting element's opposite ends are arranged to be attached in corresponding attachments to the ski binding or the mounting plate, when the locking device is in locked position, and wherein the first locking element of the locking device is located between the opposite ends of the force-transmitting elements.
- the force-transmitting element is arranged to transfer at least part of a force directed from below towards the first locking element of the locking device to opposing horizontal forces that press the force-transmitting element's ends into engagement with the respective attachments of the ski binding or the mounting plate when the locking device is in locked position, so that the locking device is secured in the locked position.
- a ski binding comprises a locking device as described above.
- Fig. 1 illustrates, in a perspective view, a locking device (10) according to an embodiment of the invention, which is hinged to a ski binding (1) in an area under a ski boot (not shown), which can be attached to the ski binding (1).
- the locking device (10) is here in open position, and the first locking element (11) of the locking device (10) is arranged to be locked in the corresponding first locking element of the mounting plate (not shown) under the ski binding (1), so that the ski binding is prevented from moving in the longitudinal direction of the mounting plate.
- Figs 2a and 2b illustrate in two different sections with reference to Fig . 1, respectively the locking device (10) seen from the front and the rear, the locking position ( 10) being in a vertical state in an open position.
- Figs 3a and 3b illustrate, according to a perspective view and a view from above, the same locking device (10) as shown in Fig. 1, wherein the locking device is in a locked position.
- Fig . 4a shows in a sectiona l view C-C, with reference to Fig . 3b, parts of the locking device ( 10).
- Fig . 4b shows an enlarged section of Fig . 4a .
- Fig . 5a shows in a sectiona l view D-D, with reference to Fig . 3b, parts of the locking device ( 10).
- Fig . 5b shows an enlarged section of Fig . 5a .
- Figs 6a and 6b illustrate the function of the locking device in an embod iment.
- the first locking element (11) of the locking device is in engagement with the corresponding first locking element (21) in the mounting plate (20) and the power- transmitting element's (12) opposite ends (12a, 12b) a re squeezed down over the corresponding attachments (la, lb) on the ski binding edges.
- the locking device ( 10) is flexible, so that it is not a problem to press the force-tra nsmitting element ends (12a, 12b) over the ski binding edges to open or lock the locking device (10) as long as the force (FI) directed from below does not work, which is the case as long as there is no user on the ski.
- the invention is a locking device (10) for locking of a ski binding (1) on a mounting plate (20) arranged to be mounted on a ski.
- the locking device ( 10) is arranged to be in a locked position, in which the ski bind ing (1) is locked relative to the mounting plate (20) in a longitudinal direction, and in an open position, in which the ski binding (1) can be moved relative to the mounting plate (20) in the longitudina l direction.
- the locking device is thus either in locked or open position.
- An example of a locking device (10) in locked position is shown in Fig. 6a .
- the locking device (10) comprises a force-transmitting element ( 12) with opposite ends (12a, 12b), arra nged to be attached in corresponding attachments (la, l b) in the ski binding (1) or in the mounting plate (20) when the locking device ( 10) is in locked position.
- the first locking element (11) of the locking device is located here between the force-transmitting element's ( 12) opposite ends (12a, 12b).
- the locking device (10) can be in many d ifferent states when in open position. Though it is shown in vertical position in severa l fig ures, the open position can also comprise other states, in which the
- the locking device (10) ca n be placed in various positions as long as the condition that the locking device's first locking element (11) is located between the force-transmitting element's (12) opposite ends ( 12a, 12b) is met.
- the force- transmitting element's (12) opposite ends (12a, 12b) ca n e.g. be placed on each side of the ski bind ing ( 1) or after each other in the middle of the ski bidning with the first locking element (11) between them .
- the first locking element ( 11) is placed on a straight line between the force-tra nsmitting element's ( 12) opposite ends (12a, 12b).
- Fig . 6a the locking device (10) is shown in locked position, and the first locking element (11) of the locking device (10) is in engagement with the first locking element (21) of the mounting plate (20).
- the first locking element (11) in the locking device ( 10) will in practice have a slight flexibility and possibility of migration relative to the first locking element (21) of the mounting plate (20).
- this has been resolved by at least part of the force (FI) directed from below against the first locking element (11) of the locking device being transmitted to opposing horizontal forces (F2, F3) that press the force-tra nsmitting element's ends (12a, 12b) into engagement with the respective attachments (la, lb) of the ski bind ing or the mounting plate when the locking device (10) is in locked position, so that the locking device ( 10) is secured in the locked position as illustrated in Fig . 6b.
- the force-tra nsmitting element (12) is flexible, so that the force-tra nsmitting element's ends (12a, 12b) a re arranged to be pressed from the open position, removably down over the respective attachments (la, lb) of the ski binding ( 1) or the mounting plate (20), to the locked position.
- the force-tra nsmitting element (12) extend across the ski binding ( 1), wherein the force-transmitting element's ends (12a, 12b) are arra nged to be attached to the ski binding's or mounting plate's respective side ends (la, l b) to secure the locking device (10) in locked position.
- the force-transmitting element's ends ( 12a, 12b) a re arranged to grasp around the corresponding ends ( la, lb) on each side of the ski binding ( 1) or the mounting plate (20) when the locking device (10) is in locked position.
- the force-transmitting element (12) is flexible, so that the force- transmitting element's ends ( 12a, 12b) are arranged to be pressed removably down over the edges on each side of the ski binding or the mounting plate.
- the force-transmitting element's ends (12a, 12b) have opposite, longitudinal inward tracks ( 13a, 13b) arra nged to be pressed removably over outwa rd edges (2a, 2b) on the ski binding or mounting plate.
- the force-transmitting element (12) is rotatably attached to the ski bind ing (1), so that the force-transmitting element ( 12) can be tilted up to open position.
- the force-tra nsmitting element (12) in a side is fixedly attached to the ski bind ing (1) and flexible or hinged, so that it can be tilted up to open position.
- the first locking element (11) and the force-transmitting element ( 12) can in a second dependent embodiment, which can be combined with the first dependent embod iment above, be integrated in the locking device (10), e.g . by being moulded in a piece of plastic material that provides the necessary flexibility as shown in the figures.
- the locking device (10) can a lternatively be built up by several elements, e.g. by the force-transmitting element (12) consisting of two arms hinged against each other or against an intermediate piece, consisting of the first locking element (11) .
- the locking device's first locking element (11) comprises one or more downward pins or tracks a rranged to slot into corresponding holes or tracks, which are part of the first locking element (21) of the mounting plate.
- the one or more pins are wedge-shaped.
- two or more pins are arranged successively in the longitudinal direction of the ski binding (1), such as shown e.g . in Fig . 1.
- the second locking element of the locking device ( 10) comprises vertica l edges that fit into a recess in the ski binding (1), so that the locking device ( 10) is locked in the longitudinal direction relative to the ski bind ing (1) when the locking device (10) is in the locked position.
- the second locking element of the locking device (10) comprises a reinforced area (15) around the first locking element (11), wherein the reinforced area (15) is arra nged to fit into a recess (25) in the ski binding (1).
- the second locking element (14) of the locking device (10) comprises a bevel, which fits into a recess in the bind ing (10), arranged to press the locking device ( 10) downwards against the binding when a kick back is applied in the binding.
- This can e.g . be an inclined edge or an undercut at the front portion of the reinforced area (15) a nd a corresponding bevel in the ski binding (1) .
- the locking device ( 10) is lowered into the ski binding (1) when it is in locked position, and vertical interfaces between the two elements prevent long itudinal movement. This also means that the locking device (10) in this position a ppears as a natural part of the ski binding surface.
- the locking device ( 10) comprises a pin on each side, arranged to turn into the ski binding (1), wherein the area between the pins is embedded, so that the locking device surface merges with the ski binding (1) when it is in locked position.
- the locking device (10) comprises a third lock, provided to keep the locking device in open position, so that it does not fall down from the vertical position shown e.g. in Fig. 1 without a force being applied .
- the third lock comprises a lever arm (16) on the locking device ( 10), which is provided to press down a resilient element (26) in the ski binding (1), in which the locking device ( 10) moving from the locked to the open position.
- the end of the lever arm (16) lies in front of the rotational axis of the locking device ( 10) when the locking device is in locked position or below when it is in open position as shown in Fig. 2a .
- the lever a rm presses down the resilient element (26), which can be an integrated protruding tongue in the binding.
- the resilient element (26) is pressed down as far as possible when the locking device (10) is vertica l. If it is turned further, in the case shown in Fig. 1, it will be forward, and the resilient element (26) will yield less resistance. To turn the locking device (10) back again from this position, a force must therefore be applied to overcome the resilience in the vertical position.
- the invention is a ski bind ing (1), comprising a locking device ( 10) as described in a nyone of the embodiments above.
- the locking device (10) can be a separate element, which is attached to the ski binding as part of the production or moulded as an integrated part of the bind ing .
- the locking device can be either hinged with a joint or be executed in a flexible material, which allows bending in a nd out of the locked position.
