Device for detachably attaching a ski tie to a ski

The invention relates to a device for detachably attaching a ski binder to a ski, which device comprises two body parts resting on a ski, arranged to be movable relative to each other by means of a clamping screw, in each of which a downwardly extending edge portion of the ski edge is formed. , which edge portions when moving the body portions 10 towards each other are arranged to press on opposite sides of the ski against the side edges of the ski when attaching said device to the ski, and wherein said device comprises means, such as holes, for attaching the ski bandage to said device. The device 15 acts as a binder attachment platform when it is desired to attach the ski bindings to the skis temporarily, such as when selecting skis for racing skiers.

In practice, the selection of skis for competitive skiers takes place in such a way that the skis are tested by skiing. Before agreeing. 20 skis skis are found for each competitor, most often a very large number, up to several dozen pairs of skis, have to be tested. Testing skis by skiing naturally requires attaching a bandage to the ski. To attach the bandages to the ski, holes are usually drilled to which the bandage is attached with screws.

Italian patent publication 920 242 also discloses a device by means of which the bandages can be attached to a removable groove formed in the side edge of the ski. The device 30 comprises plate-like parts to which the bandage is fastened by screwing. The plate-like parts are formed with downwardly bent edge portions parallel to the side edge of the ski, and the lower edge of the edge portions is bent inwards, i.e. towards the ski at the groove. When the device is tightened around the ski with screws, the side edges press against the side of the ski and the bent lower edge presses into the groove, securing the bandage in place.

Skis to which the bandage has already been attached cannot be re-used due to the holes drilled in the 5 skis. As a result, skiing testing becomes very expensive. In addition, attaching the bindings to the skis using known attachment methods is a relatively laborious operation, which naturally slows down the testing of the skis.

The object of the invention is to provide a device by means of which ski bindings can be attached to a ski without breaking its surface. This object is achieved by means of a device according to the invention, characterized in that the surface of the edge part pressing against the side of the ski 15 is flat, enabling said device and thus also the ski bandage to be attached to the ski without breaking its surface.

When using the device according to the invention, the skis to be tested are completely undamaged and usable even after the test. The attachment of the bandage is also very fast, which is an advantage, especially when skis are selected at the start of the race, for example, when the weather conditions change, where the lubrication is at its best compared to the weather. The device according to the invention is made of some light material, in which case it has little effect on the skiing properties of the ski.

The invention will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawing, in which Figure 1 shows a side view of the device, Figure 2 shows a top view of the device and Figure 3 shows a cross-section of the device.

The device according to the invention is formed by two juxtaposed, plate-like body parts 1, 2, which form the body of the device. The body parts 1, 2 are fastened to each other by means of a mechanism 4 so that the body parts 1, 5 2 can be moved relative to each other, i.e. towards each other and away from each other in the plane formed by the body parts. In the exemplary case, the mechanism 4 is formed by a tightening screw placed in the screw groove. A quick-release latch or, for example, a wedge structure fastener-10 can also be used as the mechanism 4.

The actual ski bandage, which may be any known ski bandage, is intended by way of example to be attached to the first body part 1. Holes 3 are formed in the first body part 1 for this purpose.

Downwardly directed edge portions 5, 6 are formed on the outer sides of the body portions 1, 2 which are spaced apart from each other, substantially parallel to the side edge of the ski. According to the invention, the inner sides of the edge parts 5, 6 are also flat.

When the device according to the invention is fitted against the upper surface of the ski at a suitable position in the longitudinal direction of the ski and tightened by tightening the screw, the body parts 1, 2 resting on the ski move towards each other and press the edge portions 5, 25 6 Ts. the edge parts are arranged to press against the side edges of the ski from opposite sides of the ski when the body parts 1, 2 are moved towards each other. Thus, it is not necessary to make 30 fastening holes or the like to attach the bandage to the ski. Since the surface to be placed against the surface of the ski of the body part 1, 2 is flat throughout, the ski remains undamaged despite the attachment of the ski bandage. The surface to be placed against the ski surface 4 B8772 of the body part 1, 2 can also be covered with a layer of rubber material 8, which prevents even a slight scratching of the surface of the ski. At the same time, the rubber material layer 8 promotes the retention of the ski bandage.

In the exemplary case, the device further comprises flange-like parts 7 formed on the rear part of the first body part 1 on both outer sides of the device. The purpose of the flanged parts 7 is to prevent the rear of the device from turning laterally. The distance between the flanged parts 7 to each other is substantially equal to the width of the ski.

The device can be made of, for example, light metal, light metal alloy or plastic and / or carbon fiber materials. The device can be manufactured by casting or, for example, by bending from a metal plate.

The invention is not limited to the embodiment described above, but can be modified within the scope of the appended claims.

Claims (3)

A device for releasably attaching a ski tie to a ski, said device comprising two by means of a mechanism (4), such as an extensible screw, movably arranged relative to one another, the body parts (1,2) resting on the ski, wherein both the body parts (1,2) are formed a downwardly directed edge part (5,6) which runs substantially in the direction of the ski edge, which edge parts (5,6) are arranged to be pressed from opposite sides of the ski towards the ski edges when the body parts (1,2) are displaced towards each other in attaching the device to the ski, and wherein the device comprises means (3), for example, heels, for attaching the ski tie to said device, characterized in that the surface of the edge part (5,6) against the ski edge is smooth and therefore allows the device to be secured. and thereby also the ski bond on the ski without damaging its surface. 2. Device according to claim 1, characterized in that on the surface of the body part (1,2) facing the surface of the ski is a layer (8) of rubber material arranged to protect the surface of the ski and to place the ski binding ρά place.
