Description

Ski with built-in assembly for positioning the ski link and consolidating it in the selected position

The subject of the application is a ski with a built-in ski link positioning assembly, said coupling allowing the ski link to be adapted to the ski boots available at any one time, either mounted on the ski itself or in a so-called platform either attached to the ski or integrated within the ski itself.

For the sake of simplicity, the following will be mentioned in the following, which is a ski-mounted unit, and the possibility of mounting it into the platform will always be considered.

The invention is based on the problem of how to design as simple as possible in a ski or a ski. platform mountable assembly for adjustable mounting of the ski link, in which after adjusting the two parts of the ski link in each appropriate and defined position of the consolidations in this position will be possible with a single simple movement for this purpose intended element, which should be at all times , almost indistinguishably mounted on the ski.

One of the applicant's prior solutions, which is the subject of the previously unpublished Slovenian patent application P-200200100, relates to a ski with a built-in or attached adjustable mounting ski link, consisting of two parts, namely the front and rear. In doing so, each of the aforementioned parts is attached to a corresponding mounting plate which is movable in the longitudinal direction of the ski and without the possibility of moving in the transverse direction of the ski, i.e. in a direction perpendicular to the base attached to the ski. Each of the mounting plates is connected to one gearbox. The shifting elements are designed to extend in the longitudinal direction of the ski towards each other, and are spaced apart at the same time. Each of the two shifting elements is equipped with a toothed surface on its upper, regular use of the ski from the ground, facing the surface facing side. Further, an adjustable arresting element is provided for the shifting elements, which is adjustable over said shifting elements and pressable against said shifting elements. In this way, a firm but detachable form-connection is established between said shifting elements and said arresting element. Said arresting element is pressed against the shifting elements by means of a screw. Changing the ties is related to unscrewing the screw, removing the arethmus element, moving and adjusting the shifter elements, installing the isthmus element, and re-tightening the screw. These measures are not feasible in a workshop, but difficult on the spot, at the ski slope.

Also, the solution according to DE 200 01 929 Ul provides for two transversely gear-shifting gears arranged on their opposite faces, with a gear between them. The shifting elements can be fixed in the selected position by means of an aretime element that is pressed against the shifting elements and by means of which it is possible to block the rotation of said gear. The disadvantages of this solution are quite similar to those stated in relation to the first solution.

Further, DE 22 46 668 C3 discloses a ski binding, in particular a safety ski binding, in which the front and rear are each attached to their mounting plate, each of which is mounted in its guides, which are screwed on the upper surface of the ski. Said panels with parts attached to themselves are movable in the longitudinal direction of the ski and equipped with toothed extensions in the direction of each other. The latter are arranged in a transient manner and serrated on those longitudinal edges facing each other in the region of said transient. Between the toothed edges of said extensions, there is a rotatably mounted sprocket on a suitable bearing plate, which is also screwed to the upper surface of the ski, which cooperates with said toothed extensions of said plates with the ski links attached thereto. The aforementioned toothed extensions of said plates extend tangentially with respect to the pinion between them, thereby ensuring their synchronous mutual displacement or spacing with respect to the starting intermediate point, which is the starting point for determining the locations of the attachment of the ski link. This allows the distance between the two parts of the ski link to be adjusted to the available ski boot. This advantage is important e.g. when the same skis are used by several users, e.g. when reselling used skis or when renting skis for commercial or non-commercial purposes. Such a mechanism for securing the ski link is based on the assumption that the mounting of the ski shoe must always ensure that the ski boot is placed in an empirically optimal position on the ski, in which the central point coincides with the central point of the active ski length, ie half the length of the ski boot. ski mounts on the base. The installation of rigid fastening plates of relatively large length on the surface of the ski significantly and adversely affects the bending or flexing. the elasticity of the ski, namely the central part of the ski, which significantly impairs its driving characteristics. In addition, the mounting of guides and the panels inserted into them with the parts attached to the ski surface are in most cases disturbing, both from the aesthetic point of view, as well as from the point of view of reliability of operation and last but not least the safety of the skier. At the same time, it is an outdated and an aesthetically acceptable solution today, which requires a lot of space available on the ski surface itself.

Furthermore, the Austrian patent AT 408 725 B describes a solution in which both parts, namely the front or the front. finger and rear or heel parts, each connected to each gearbox. The gears are driven by a suitable recess on the upper surface of the skis. on the ski-mounted platform in the direction of each other and simultaneously passing through each other. Each of said shifting elements is provided with a tooth at least on the surface facing the remaining gearing element. The said shifting elements include a retaining member, which is also provided with a tooth on surfaces intended to cooperate with the said shifting elements. In this way, a multi-layered set of toothed, in a relaxed state of mutually movable elements, to which both parts of the ski link are connected, is obtained, whereby these parts can be consolidated in each position by providing sufficient pressure in a direction perpendicular to the surface of the ski or. platform, which is achieved e.g. by screwing the screw through said holding element. That being said, it is a relatively large set of elements that are placed over one another and relatively large in height, which can be annoying. After unscrewing the screw, the retaining elements are released from each other by means of the teeth and can be moved back and forth. It is a so-called asynchronous movement, namely, moving the front of the bond independently of the rear of the bond. The position of the aforementioned parts of the ligaments must be properly balanced, since the two parts must be equally spaced from the zero point on the ski intended for mounting the ligaments. Incorrect mounting results in improper loading of the ski, resulting in increased pressure on either the back or front of the ski during skiing. For the stranger it is virtually impossible for the average user to master these details without the help of an expert. In this case, too, the repositioning of the bond is related to the unscrewing of the screw in order to loosen the cooperating parts, to move and adjust the gearing elements, to re-tighten the screw. These measures are not feasible in a workshop, but difficult on the spot, at the ski slope.

The present invention relates to a ski with a built-in assembly for positioning the ski link and consolidating it in the selected position, said ski link having two parts, namely the front and the rear. Each of the aforementioned parts is attached to a corresponding mounting plate, which can be moved in the longitudinal direction of the ski or. on a ski-mounted or ski-integrated platform and without the ability to move in the transverse direction of the ski, i.e. in a direction perpendicular to the base, attached to the ski or. platform. Each of the mounting plates is connected to one gear element, so that said gear elements extend in the longitudinal direction of the ski in the direction of each other and simultaneously pass each other, and each of the two gear elements is on its internal, facing the rest of the gear element. the surface provided with a gripping means suitable for forming a form-bonding relationship with the opposing gripping means, in particular the tooth.

In the area between / above said shifting elements according to the invention, there is provided an arresting element that is rotatable about its longitudinal axis, which coincides with, or is at least parallel to, the longitudinal axis of the ski, or. platform. The arresting element is provided in at least one of its circumferential regions, and preferably in two circumferentially spaced circumferential regions, with a gripping means adapted to cooperate with the respective counteracting means of the respective shifting element in each case. Rotating the arethmus element around said axis to one of the two end positions establishes a form-lock connection between the respective gripping means and the counter-resisting means cooperating therewith, while after rotation of said isthmus element about the same axis to the remaining end position, and the counter-resisting counterparts cooperated with it each time. Optionally, in the alternative embodiment of the invention, there is at least one gear between the two gears, which is intended to co-operate with the gear teeth of both gears.

The said arresting element is rotatable about its longitudinal axis, which coincides or is at least parallel to the longitudinal axis of the ski, or. platforms and at least one peripheral region thereof, preferably in two spaced apart regions, provided with a tooth-like gripping means adapted to cooperate with the respective counter-gripping means of each respective gearing element, preferably also designed as a tooth . Further, said arresting element is provided with a lever by means of which it is rotatable about said axis to one of the two end positions, namely to a position in which a two-way connection is made between the respective resisting means and the counter-resisting means cooperating therewith, as well as in the rest the end position in which said form-locked connection between the respective resisting means and the counter-resisting means cooperating therewith is eliminated. Further, the arresting element may be provided with a lever and mounted in a housing that is housed within the available recess of the ski or platform and, preferably, adapted to receive the shifting elements.

In an alternative embodiment suitable for synchronously moving parts of the ski link, the arresting element comprises a counterbalanced abutment on its own side-facing circumferential region, which is adapted to cooperate with the abutment of one of the shifting elements. In this case, there is at least one gear between the gearing elements, which is adapted to co-operate with the gearing means of the two gearing elements designed as gears. A further variant of this alternative embodiment is possible, wherein the arresting element comprises at least on its lever side facing circumferential region as a tooth-designed gripping means, which is adapted to cooperate with the same as a tooth-based gripping means of one of the shifting elements, however, at least two gears are provided between the gear elements, each arranged on its side and enclosed therein, and adapted to co-operate with the gearing means of the two gear elements.

In general, it is also possible that said arresting parts comprise two diametrically opposed circumferential regions arranged in a means which are designed as gears, each adapted to cooperate with the gear-like means of means by one shifting element in the position of the arethmus element. , when its lever is at least substantially parallel to the upper surface of the ski, respectively. platform.

FIG. 12 is a ski according to FIG. 10 in longitudinal section,

FIG. 13 is a ski according to FIG. 10 in cross section in the area of the arethmus element.

The ski 1 or the ski platform 1 in the mounting area of the non-shown ski ties attachable or in the ski 1 integrated platform T comprises an elongated recess 10, in which the fastening plates 11, 12 of the front or front are available. the back of the ski link, each mounted in its own guide 110, 120 and movable in the longitudinal direction 100 of the ski 1 or. platform 1 '.

Further, in the area of said recess 10 there are provided momentarily arranged gearing elements 21, 22. Each of said gearing elements 21, 22 is connected to one fastening plate 11, 12 and thus indirectly to the respective portion of the ski link. Further, each of said shifting elements 21, 22 on the side 210, 220, with which it is facing the rest of the shifting element 21, 22, is provided with a holding means 215, 225, which in the case shown is made as a tooth. Due to their connection to the mounting plates 11, 12, which are movable in guides 110, 120 in the longitudinal direction 100 of the ski or platform V, the shifting elements 21, 22 are also movable in the longitudinal direction 100 of the ski 1 side by side at least to a certain extent. oz. past one another. In doing so, the gripping means i.e. the gears 215, 225 extend over the entire range of transience of the shifting elements 21, 22. In this case, asynchronous displacement of the two gears 21, 22 is possible, as well as indirectly related parts of the non-shown ski link, which means that they are interconnected independent movement of elements 21, 22.

In order to consolidate the shifting elements 21, 22 in the respective position, an arresting element 3 is provided, which in the shown case is provided with opposite resisting means 33, 34 in their diametrically opposite surface areas 31, 32, namely, the teeth arranged for cooperating with the resisting means 215, 225, in this case the gears, the shifting elements 21, 22. In general, said counter-resisting means 33, 34 may also be arranged differently, e.g. to the two circumferentially spaced circumferential regions of said arethmus element 3. In this case, the arethimis element 3 is rotatable about its longitudinal axis 300, which either coincides or is at least parallel to the longitudinal axis 100 of the ski 1 or. In this case, the arresting element 3 is provided with a control lever 35 and mounted in a corresponding housing 36, which can be mounted in the area of the recess 10 of the ski or platform Γ, and at the same time adapted for receiving both gears 21, 22.

In FIG. 1 to 4, the arresting element 3 is shown in the locked position when the lever 35 is in one of the end positions, in the case shown, right on the surface of the ski 1 or. the platforms Γ, and their mounting brackets 33, 34 with the gear brackets 215, 225 of the gearing elements 21, 22 in the same way, the latter being fixed in their chosen position, which also determines the position of the two parts ski ties.

By loosening the lever 35 to its remaining end position, and by virtue of sufficient rotation of the isthmus element 3 around its longitudinal axis 300, said gripping means 33, 34 can be exited by the actuators 215, 225 of the shifting elements 21, 22. From now on, the shifting elements 21 , 22 I'm freely movable and back and forth. past one another. With this, for example, both parts of the ski link can be moved, which can be moved to another desired position. In the position chosen in both parts of the ski link or. of the shifting elements 21, 22, the arresting element 3 is then simply rotated again around its longitudinal axis 300, and its retaining means 33, 34 again engage with the resisting means 215, 225 of the shifting elements 21, 22, which have since been held in this position again. without any possibility of moving here and there. past one another.

In a further embodiment of FIG. 10 to 13, the ski 1 is designed substantially the same as in the example of FIG. 1 to 9, except that in this case, synchronous movement of the shifting elements 21, 22 is provided. This is achieved by installing at least one gear 41, 42 between the gear-like mounting means 215, 225 of the shifting elements 21, 22. In this case, to consolidate the gears of the elements 21, 22 in each position selected is sufficient if the arresting element 3 is provided at least in one of its areas 31, 32 at the circumference with a tooth-designed holding means 33, 34 adapted to cooperate with a tooth-based holding means 215, 225 with it the associated gear element 21, 22. In a further example of this alternative embodiment shown in FIG. 10 to 13, there are two gears 41, 42 between the gearing elements 21, 22, which are housed in the sockets 410, 420 on the housing 36 under an additional cover 37, which is mounted over the outer housing 36 of the isthmus element 3. Hardening of both gears 21 , 22 in each position selected is again executed by rotating the isthmus element 3 about its axis 300 to a position when its gripping means 34, especially the tooth, reaches the position of gripping with the gripping means 215, especially the gears, of the shifting element 21.

In general, various embodiments of the arethmus element 3 are possible, which in all cases is rotatable about its longitudinal axis 300, which coincides or is at least parallel to the longitudinal axis of the ski 1 or platform Γ. Thus, e.g. it is possible that the arresting element 3 is made as a snail, in which the helix can optionally be removed at all those places where, due to the functionality of the arresting element 3 itself, its presence is not required. It is also essential that the arresting element 3 is secured, almost indistinguishably, mounted on the ski 1, which prevents it from being lost during skiing or moving the ski slopes.
