Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a heel unit for a touring binding, comprising a base which is intended for mounting on a gliding board, coupling means which are designed to engage with a heel section of a gliding board shoe when the touring binding is in a downhill position in order to attach the gliding board shoe to the to hold the touring binding in place, a release mechanism by which the coupling means are held rotatably relative to the base, so that in the downhill position of the touring binding they can be released from engagement with the gliding board shoe when a force that exceeds a predetermined release force is applied, the release mechanism having a spring means which determines the predetermined triggering force, and an adjustment mechanism, by means of which the touring binding can be rotationally adjusted between the downhill position and a walking position, in which the coupling means are arranged in a position remote from the gliding board shoe, so that they do not engage with the gliding board shoe.
  • Heel units of this type are known in particular as part of touring ski bindings, in which a touring ski boot is held on a front unit of the binding so that it can pivot about an axis of rotation running transversely to the longitudinal axis of the gliding board.
  • a heel unit of the type mentioned is arranged, which releases the touring ski boot in a walking position so that it can lift off the boot while walking uphill, and holds it in the downhill position so that the touring ski boot is fixed to the ski.
  • known touring bindings In order to prevent injuries to the driver in the event of a fall during a downhill run, known touring bindings have a release mechanism which releases the gliding board shoe when a force acts between the gliding board shoe and touring binding that exceeds a predetermined release force, as is the case in particular in the event of a fall .
  • Release mechanism and adjustment mechanism known heel units are mostly realized in that a binding body carrying the coupling means is attached to the base so that it can move, in particular pivotable about a vertical axis of rotation, and is prestressed by a release spring in such a way that the coupling means are held in the position suitable for engagement with the gliding board shoe.
  • the binding is then released by moving the binding body against the release spring.
  • the heel unit is also adjusted between the downhill position and the walking position by moving the binding body.
  • the object of the present invention was to provide a heel unit of a touring binding that allows the use of high release forces and at the same time is easier to operate, in particular with less effort.
  • a heel unit of the type mentioned at the outset in which the adjusting mechanism has an actuating arrangement which can be actuated manually by a user between a locking position, in which the adjusting mechanism is locked in the starting position or in the walking position, and a locking position, in which the adjusting mechanism is unlocked and is rotatable from the downhill position to the walking position or from the walking position to the downhill position substantially without actuating force or with an actuating force that is less than the predetermined release force.
  • An important aspect of the solution according to the invention lies in a decoupling of the triggering mechanism and the adjusting mechanism by providing a corresponding actuating arrangement, so that the adjusting mechanism can be actuated largely independently of the triggering mechanism when the actuating arrangement is in the unlocked position.
  • a force required to adjust the adjustment mechanism can also be provided largely independently of a triggering force of the triggering mechanism.
  • the force required to adjust the adjustment mechanism can then be set such that it is less than the predetermined triggering force or even essentially zero (ie only has the magnitude of unavoidable frictional forces of a movable mechanism).
  • the force required to actuate the actuating arrangement from the detent position to the detent position or from the detent position to the detent position can also be constructed independently of the triggering force and is then also in particular smaller than the triggering force or essentially zero. As a result, a simple adjustment of the binding between the downhill position and the walking position can be provided even with a construction with a very high release force.
  • the release mechanism can keep the coupling means rotatable relative to the base about a release axis of rotation running orthogonally to the plane of the gliding board.
  • the release mechanism is then set up in particular for a side release (Mz release by rotating the gliding board shoe about a vertical Z axis).
  • release mechanisms known per se with a binding body that can be rotated about a Z-axis running orthogonally to the plane of the gliding board can be used in order to construct a heel unit according to the invention.
  • the adjustment mechanism can keep the coupling means rotatable relative to the base about an adjustment axis of rotation running orthogonally to the plane of the gliding board between the downhill position and the walking position, so that to adjust the heel unit into the walking position, the coupling means can also be used by a binding body that is known per se and can be pivoted about the Z-axis can be moved. This results in handling of the heel unit that is familiar to the user as well as a functional principle for the adjustment of the heel unit that has been tried and tested per se.
  • release axis of rotation and the adjustment axis of rotation run in the Z-direction (orthogonal to the plane of the gliding board), then these two axes can be aligned coaxially with one another, resulting in structural simplifications.
  • the release axis of rotation and the adjustment axis of rotation can run parallel to one another at a predetermined distance, so that the movement paths of the coupling means during the release process can be different from the movement paths of the coupling means during the adjustment process. This allows greater design freedom to adapt to the respective functions.
  • a binding body carrying the coupling means can be arranged eccentrically to the adjustment axis of rotation in such a way that the binding body is in a downhill position further forward in the direction of travel than in the walking position. In this way, a collision between the binding body and the gliding board shoe can be reliably avoided in the walking position.
  • the heel unit advantageously comprises a first binding body, which can be moved relative to the base by means of the triggering mechanism for a triggering movement, so that in the downhill position of the touring binding it moves relative to the base when a force that exceeds the triggering force is applied and when the impact occurs a force falling below the triggering force is fixed relative to the base in relation to the triggering movement, a second binding body which carries the coupling means and can be moved relative to the first binding body by means of the adjustment mechanism.
  • a separate, second binding body is provided for holding the coupling means, as a result of which the decoupling from the release mechanism can be implemented in a structurally simple manner.
  • a mechanism known per se for My release can be arranged in the second binding body, which pretensions the coupling means in a plane running parallel to the plane of the gliding board with a My release force towards one another, so that even in the event of a frontal fall, the gliding board shoe can be released upwards is.
  • the first binding body is preferably movably mounted on the base and/or the second binding body is movably mounted on the first binding body, resulting in a structurally simple structure.
  • the first binding body can be movably mounted on a first bearing on the base and the second binding body can be mounted on a second bearing on the base that is separate from the first bearing.
  • the heel unit with two binding bodies can be provided in particular that in the locked position Actuating arrangement, a relative movement between the first binding body and the second binding body is blocked and in the locked position of the actuating arrangement, a relative movement between the first binding body and the second binding body is enabled essentially without an actuating force or with an actuating force that is smaller than the predetermined release force .
  • the advantages according to the invention can be achieved in a simple manner in that a relative movement between the first and second binding bodies is permitted or blocked by the actuating arrangement.
  • Such a locking or detaching can take place by positive locking, for example by a projection of one of the elements of the first binding body, second binding body and actuating arrangement engaging in a matching recess of another element of the first binding body, second binding body and actuating arrangement.
  • the actuation arrangement can be set up to allow displacement between the first binding body and the second binding body in the locked position, preferably in a direction orthogonal to the release axis of rotation and/or to the adjustment axis of rotation, and to block the displacement in the locked position.
  • this shift between the locked position and the locked position can take place, with the binding bodies being positioned in relation to one another in the locked position in such a way that the adjustment mechanism is blocked, while the binding bodies in the locked position are positioned in relation to one another in such a way that they can be moved relative to one another for adjusting the touring binding between the downhill position and can move walking position.
  • the two binding bodies in the locking position can be shifted into such a position that they cannot be rotated relative to one another due to a form-fitting engagement with one another, while the two binding bodies can be freely rotated relative to one another in the locking position.
  • the actuating arrangement can be pivotally attached to the heel unit, wherein a linkage mechanism can be provided which converts a pivoting movement of the actuating arrangement into a sliding movement between the first binding body and the second binding body.
  • the pivoting movement allows for easy handling, while the joint mechanism enables a relatively high power transmission to shift the binding bodies relative to one another.
  • the actuating arrangement is pivotally attached to the heel unit by a dead center mechanism, so that in the locking position it is pretensioned towards the locking position and, during a movement towards the unlocking position, passes through a dead center in which the direction of the bias reversed. Due to the dead center mechanism, the actuating arrangement is held under pretension by a spring action of the dead center mechanism, particularly in the locking position, i.e. when the heel unit is used for walking or downhill skiing, so that the actuating arrangement is held in the locking position without play and cannot rattle, for example.
  • the actuating arrangement can be held on the heel unit so that it can be moved between the locking position and the unlocking position, preferably held so that it can be moved in a direction parallel to the longitudinal axis of the gliding board.
  • a displaceable actuating arrangement can provide a particularly stable, form-fitting locking mechanism.
  • the actuating arrangement can be held on the heel unit such that it can pivot between the locking position and the locking position, preferably about a pivot axis running parallel to the plane of the gliding board and orthogonally to the longitudinal axis of the gliding board be pivotable.
  • a pivotable actuating arrangement can be particularly resistant to external mechanical influences such as ice, snow and dirt.
  • the actuating arrangement can have a shoe contact section which, when the heel unit is in a downhill position, comes into contact with a heel section of the gliding board shoe held on the coupling means, with the actuating arrangement being set up in such a way that a contact point is directed towards the shoe contact section in a direction pointing away from the gliding board shoe acting force urges the actuating arrangement and/or the adjusting mechanism into the locking position or holds it in the locking position.
  • a force input from the gliding board shoe via the coupling means into the second binding body always acts in the direction of locking the actuating arrangement or the adjustment mechanism during a valley descent, so that an unintentional adjustment of the heel unit can be reliably prevented.
  • the above-mentioned displacement of the second binding body relative to the first binding body can preferably be set up in such a way that the second binding body moves backwards in the longitudinal direction of the gliding board, i.e. away from the gliding board shoe (in a direction opposite to the direction in which the coupling means protrude).
  • the gliding board shoe forces the second binding body into the locking position.
  • the heel unit, shown generally at 10, of a first exemplary embodiment of the invention comprises a base 12 for fastening the heel unit 10 to a gliding board, not shown.
  • the base 12 also defines a longitudinal direction or X-axis of the gliding board, which is oriented in the direction of travel of the gliding board, as well as a Y-axis running orthogonally to the X-axis and parallel to the plane E of the gliding board, and a Z-axis running orthogonally to the plane E of the gliding board.
  • the heel unit 10 comprises coupling means 18 for coupling to a touring ski boot 11 in order to hold the touring ski boot 11 in place when the heel unit 10 is in the downhill position.
  • the coupling means 18 can be formed by two coupling pins 18l, 18r running essentially in the X-direction, which run in a plane parallel to the plane E of the gliding board and protrude forward from the heel unit 10 in the downhill position.
  • the coupling pins 18l, 18r can be separate pins or form ends of a U-shaped bracket.
  • the coupling pins 18l, 18r are preferably biased into their ready-to-engage position by a My release mechanism, so that they hold the heel portion of the touring ski boot 11 in place.
  • a My release mechanism When a predetermined release force is overcome, the coupling pins 18l, 18r can be moved away from one another in the Y direction, this movement taking place against the action of a My release spring.
  • Examples of such a trigger mechanism are from EP 2 545 966 A2 or EP 0 199 098 A2 known, the contents of which should be fully included in this disclosure in relation to this triggering mechanism.
  • the coupling pins 18l, 18r can be formed by the front ends of a U-shaped bracket element, which is held in place on the heel unit 10 in such a way that the two coupling pins 18l, 18r can be moved by elastic deformation of the U-shaped bracket element in order to To allow the heel unit 10 to be triggered.
  • the base 12 can be made in two parts, with a first base element 20, which for attachment to the gliding board has, for example, the attachment arrangement for attachment by means of screws 14 (corresponding bores in the first base element 20), and with a second base element 22, which is attached to the first base element 20 can be.
  • the second base member 22 may be slidably supported on the first base member 20 in the X-direction to allow longitudinal positioning of the heel unit 10 for adjustment to a shoe size or/and to allow some mobility of the heel unit 10 relative to the gliding board along the X-axis in a predetermined dynamic range of motion.
  • the heel unit 10 can be moved against the force of a pressure spring in the X direction and thus be pressed into contact with a touring ski boot 11, while the distance between the front unit and the heel unit 10 of the binding changes slightly when driving through uneven ground.

  • FIG. The second lever 74 may be coupled to the first binding body 32 at a second coupling portion 78 spaced from the lever axis H.
  • first coupling section 76, second coupling section 78 and lever axis H form a triangle, so that when an angle between the first lever 72 and the second lever 74 changes, the distance between the first coupling section 76 and the second coupling section 78 and thus a relative position between the second binding body 44 and the first binding body 32 is changed.
  • One of the two levers in the exemplary embodiment the second lever 74, advantageously has an actuating section 80 which lengthens the lever arm and by which the first lever 72 and the second lever 74 can be moved. to move the actuator assembly 70 between the locked and unlocked positions.
  • the actuation arrangement 70 is constructed in such a way that in an intermediate section of the movement path of the actuation section 80 between the locking position and de-arresting position, the actuation arrangement 70 passes through a dead center position in which the first coupling section 76, the second coupling section 78 and the lever axis H are essentially arranged on a common line are.
  • the relative displacement between the first binding body 32 and the second binding body 44 reaches a maximum, in particular a value of a maximum contact pressure between the first latching contour 66 and the second latching contour 68, as a result of which an elastic counterforce is generated, by which the actuating arrangement 70 moves on both sides of the dead center position in the direction of its respective locked or unlocked positions is biased.
  • a front edge in the downhill position (edge pointing towards the touring ski boot 11 in the X-direction) can form a shoe contact section 69, against which a heel section of the touring ski boot 11 can rest in the downhill position (see FIG 1 ). It can be seen that any force F acting on the heel unit from the touring ski boot 11 during the valley descent is oriented in the X direction opposite to the direction of travel and pushes the second binding body 44 backwards (in direction F). The second binding body 44 is therefore moved into the locked position (e.g figure 8 ) pushed or held in this.
  • the first lever 72 pulls the second binding body 44 to the right in the drawings and thus the first latching contour 66 into latching engagement with the second latching contour 68, so that a rotational movement between the first and second binding bodies 32, 44 about the adjustment axis of rotation V is positively locked is blocked. That means, that the coupling means 18 can only be rotated to one of the two sides when the first and second binding bodies 32, 44 rotate together about the release axis of rotation A in relation to the base 12. This movement takes place against the force of the release spring 40 when the release force is overcome.
  • the actuating section 80 moves into the locked position accordingly 4 pivoted (pivoted upwards in the drawings), the actuating arrangement 70 allows the second binding body 44 to be displaced relative to the first binding body 32, so that the second binding body 44 can be displaced to the left in the drawings, until the second latching contour 68 is completely disengaged is withdrawn with the first locking contour 66 (see figure 9 ).
  • the second binding body 44 can be rotated about the adjustment axis of rotation V relative to the first binding body 32 in order to move the coupling means 18 between the downhill position and the walking position.
  • the first binding body 32 remains non-rotatable relative to the base 12, so that the rotational movement of the second binding body 44 is counteracted only by the frictional forces between the second bearing section 46 of the first binding body 32 and the second counter-bearing section 48 of the second binding body 44.
  • the actuation force for adjusting the second binding body 44 is therefore independent of the release force determined by the release spring 40 and can in particular be very small or, apart from unavoidable frictional forces, even be zero. This enables an essentially powerless and therefore very comfortable possibility of adjusting the heel unit between the downhill position and the walking position.
  • the actuating arrangement 70 is brought back into the locking position, so that when the heel unit 10 is used in the walking position or in the downhill position, the locked position is present.
  • an adjustment of the heel unit 10 between the downhill position and the walking position corresponds to a rotational movement of the second binding body 44 relative to the first binding body 32 by an angle of 180°. This means that the coupling means 18 point forward in the X direction in the downhill position, while in the walking position they point backward in the X direction.
  • a heel unit 110 of the second exemplary embodiment also comprises a first binding body 132, which is mounted on a base 112 so that it can rotate about a release axis of rotation A, and a second binding body 144, which is mounted on the first binding body 132 so that it can rotate about an adjustment axis of rotation V.
  • Adjustment axis of rotation V and release axis of rotation A run in the Z-direction, wherein the adjustment axis of rotation V is preferably arranged at a distance behind the release axis of rotation A in relation to the X-direction.
