[0003] Heinz Wittman and Roland Eldie devised a publication of Japanese Patent Application No. Hei 6-11265, which is a modification of Japanese Patent Application No. 1-507617, filed on July 10, Heisei (1989). An apparatus for assembling a ski binding is described. They provide a fastening element for mounting the ski binding on the ski, in the form of a backing or a plate, in order to provide a device which allows a simple and quick mounting and dismounting of the ski binding on the ski. A shaft rotatably supported on the shaft, a head having a slit provided at the upper end on the plate side or the back side of the shaft, and an elliptical or rectangular shape provided at a lower end opposite to the shaft. Plate piece, and the ski has a receiving portion having an elongated hole corresponding to the shape of the plate piece, and the plate piece of the pin inserted into the elongated hole of the receiving portion is a pin. A device has been devised which is fixedly fastened and fixed in an extension forming a step in a longitudinal hole by rotation. The configuration of the device 700 of FIGS.
The plate 704 can be adjusted and moved in the vertical direction with respect to the ski 703. For this purpose, the device 3
The oval slot in the configuration of 00 is made as slot 728 and there is a further receiving part 703b in the ski 703, in which two sides are formed by two racks 729. Notch 729
a is provided. The notch 729a is provided on the lower surface of the plate 704 supporting the backing 705.
A locking member 730 having teeth corresponding to the teeth of the rack belongs. Since the rack 729 is longer than the locking member 730, the backing 705 can be mounted at various positions in the ski longitudinal direction with respect to the ski 703.

However, as mentioned above, the ski binding including the backing is mounted parallel to the longitudinal direction of the ski. In other words, since the plates are arranged in the longitudinal direction in the vertical direction of the skis, the center of gravity transmitted to the skis due to individual differences of the ski competitors deviates from the vertical direction of the skiing slope, and the maximum speed obtained when skiing directly downhill is sufficient. There was a technical problem that could not be obtained. Also, conventionally, the angle of the heel of the ski boot, that is, the heel part, is changed to provide an angle adjustment mechanism of the ski boot,
The center of gravity of the ski was changed so that the center of gravity was transmitted vertically, but by moving the center of gravity back and forth with respect to the center line of the ski, the center of gravity that matched each skeleton due to individual differences of ski players There were difficulties to get. Furthermore, in recent years, so-called skiers' heels (skier's heels)
sports), which is referred to as "heel". This is a failure of the ankle joint caused by a sustained strain on the skier's Achilles tendon. Generally, this phenomenon is called skier's heel because it occurs only in skiers. During a ski turn, the heel is quickly lifted and then immediately lowered, but because the ski boots secure the forefoot, the forces exerted during the turn are concentrated at the ankle joint. Since this ankle joint is also tightened with ski boots, there is no room for the heel to move up and down, so the force is concentrated on the Achilles tendon. The Achilles tendon has a problem that it is torn because it is relatively long, but ski manufacturers provide appropriate advice on adjusting the spring strength of the binding and tightening the heel of the ski boot to solve these problems. However,
This problem could not be completely eliminated by skiing under inadequate use of ski equipment or under unpredictable conditions. In addition, it has become necessary to fix the ski boots so as to match the skeleton due to individual differences among ski players.

The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and has as its object to provide a ski binding assembling apparatus which can change a mounting position of a ski binding to a semi-fixed state.

In this case, it can be visually confirmed that the protruding portion 12 provided on the front portion of the plate 3 is located on the center line of the gauge printed or embossed on the surface of the ski 1. On the other hand, in the case of a skier who causes a sense of discomfort at the center point, the center of gravity is shifted to the left or right, so that the best position can be obtained by rotating the plate 3 to the right or left position according to the individual difference of the skier. . The position of the best position can be confirmed by the gauge on the surface of the protruding portion 12 and the ski 1 located therebelow. In the present embodiment, the protruding portion 12 and the gauge are used. However, other than that, a simple mark may be printed on the plate surface, or a notch may be provided on the side surface of the front portion of the plate 3 to form a mark. is there. Further, in the present embodiment, the plate 3 can be fixed by inserting bolts into the slit-shaped horizontally long through holes 16 provided at both ends of the plate 3, but other bolts may be used as long as the effects of the present invention are not affected. Of course, for example, at any position in the region where the plate 3 and the ski 1 overlap each other, may be fixed with a universal metal screw. In this case, the bending relationship between the plate 3 and the ski 1 can be improved.

A binding 24 is located on the illustrated plate 3, and a ski boot 26 is fixed to the binding 24. The skier can put his feet in these ski boots and finally fix the heel of his feet with the buckle 28. An adjusting screw 30 for rotating the plate 3 is provided on the left side surface of the plate 3. If this screw is turned to the right, for example, the screw is tightened by the rule of the right screw, and the plate 3 can be rotated. With this adjustment, the center of gravity can be finely adjusted by slightly moving the plate.

FIG. 8 is a plan view of the measuring device of the assembling device according to one embodiment of the present invention. The skier 1 in which the mounting direction of the binding is improved in the above-described embodiment is actually worn, and the skier is asked to take a posture in which the top speed is obtained. In this case, the sensor 40 contacting the right front side of the ski 1, the sensor 41 contacting the right rear side, the sensor 42 contacting the left front side, and the sensor 43 contacting the left rear side of the ski 1 change the center of gravity of the ski 1. The heading direction can be detected. The sensors 40 to 43 may be mechanical pressure sensors or semiconductor pressure sensors.

As described above, in the embodiment of the present invention, the position of the ski binding can be arranged in any direction. In addition to the present embodiment, for example, the thickness of the front portion or the rear portion of the plate 3 can be increased. Can be changed to tilt the binding in the vertical direction, and a skier using this tilted binding can also improve grip on snow slopes. This is because the center of gravity of the weight is applied more vertically or in the traveling direction. Further, if the top binding and the heel binding are attached to the plate 3 described in the above embodiment at the factory of the ski maker and then shipped, the shop where the top and the heel binding are separately attached is conventionally provided. Since the number of steps can be reduced, the mounting work and time can be further reduced. Further, the plate 3 of the angle adjusting mechanism is provided independently of the ski 1 as described in the above embodiment, but any means capable of adjusting the angle of the binding which is a part of the effect of the present invention. Alternatively, the plate 3 can be integrally formed with the ski 1. In this case, it is sufficient that the plate 3 is formed by being embedded in the ski 1, and it goes without saying that no additional member is required.

It should be noted that the ski binding assembling apparatus of the present invention is not limited to the illustrated example described above, and it is a matter of course that various modifications can be made without departing from the gist of the present invention. For example, the material of the plate 3 can be metal, synthetic resin or carbon,
Bolts can be used instead of screws, and vice versa. In addition, the binding can be applied by a step-in method or a one-touch method. Further, when a stopper is required, the stopper may be placed on the stopper mounting portion 32 shown in FIG. Furthermore, even if the plate 3 is a flat member, the surface thereof can be tapered back and forth to adjust the deflection with the ski 1, and the surface can be tapered left and right to adjust the deflection with the ski 1. It is possible to adjust the deflection with respect to the ski 1 by processing the surface into a tapered shape in the front, rear, left and right directions, so that the characteristics of the ski can be further improved.
