Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a coupling element for a ski boot, comprising fastening means for fastening the coupling element to a heel region of a ski boot, two contact portions arranged either side of a vertical boot center plane extending in the longitudinal direction of the boot, against which contact portions pins projecting forwards from an automatic heel mechanism of a ski binding bear in a downhill position of the ski binding, and off which the pins slide in the event of a fall release of the ski binding once a release force acting on the ski boot has been overcome, the fastening means comprising a central fastening point, which lies between the two contact portions.
  • the present invention relates further to a ski boot, to the heel portion of which a coupling element of the above described type is fastened.
  • a common type of ski binding uses two parallel pins projecting forwards from an automatic heel mechanism for coupling together the automatic heel mechanism and a heel portion of a ski boot, which pins enter into engagement with a coupling element fastened to the ski boot in order to fix the ski boot to the ski in its heel region.
  • An example of a coupling system of this type is known from EP 0 199 098 A2, which describes as coupling element a metal plate to be fastened to the heel region of a sole of a ski boot.
  • the metal plate is fastened to the ski boot by means of two central screws, which extend along a vertical ski center plane.
  • the vertical boot center plane extends orthogonally to the metal plate and divides the metal plate into two mirror-symmetrical halves.
  • the side edges of the metal plate lying on different sides of the boot center plane each comprise a groove as contact portion for the pins projecting from the automatic heel mechanism.
  • the pins are pretensioned into engagement with the grooves by a resilient force, such that they hold the ski boot fixed securely to the ski binding and thus to the ski in the downhill position, the resilient force of the pins being overcome if a fall release force is exceeded, and the ski boot being released from engagement with the pins in order to release the ski boot.
  • the ski binding described in EP 0 199 098 A2 is designed as a touring ski binding and additionally allows adjustment from the downhill position to a walking position, in which the automatic heel mechanism being adjusted such that it allows the heel region of the ski boot to be lifted off the ski. It should however be pointed out at this point that the present invention is not limited to ski bindings of this type, but rather extends equally to other bindings for downhill skis and cross-country skis or indeed snowboards or splitboards, provided that the binding works with an automatic heel mechanism which has two forwardly projecting pins.
  • ski binding or “ski boot” should also be understood in the context of the present disclosure to mean snowboarding equipment and splitboarding equipment, such that a snowboarding boot is also understood as a ski boot for the purposes of the present disclosure and a snowboard binding is also understood as a ski binding for the purposes of the present disclosure.
  • the object of the invention is achieved by a coupling element of the above-mentioned type, in which the fastening means further comprise two outer fastening points, which are arranged laterally outside the contact portions with regard to the boot center plane, and the coupling element comprises two arm portions extending laterally outwards with regard to the boot center plane, which arm portions each extend towards the outer fastening points.
  • enhanced robustness and wear resistance of the coupling element is not thus based on the use of larger and more robust screw fastenings or the use of a stronger material for the coupling element but rather on a fundamentally different shaping of the coupling element and on the use of a novel fastening structure with regard to the arrangement of the fastening points and with regard to the distribution and directions of the forces introduced into the ski boot.
  • the arm portions extending laterally outwards allow the provision of two additional fastening points, which do not lie in the central region in the vicinity of the boot center plane but rather laterally to the outside and allow the forces introduced to be distributed advantageously over a larger area of the ski boot.
  • the outer fastening points according to the invention are arranged outside the contact portions of the coupling element, such that the fastening structure created in this way is no longer subject to the structural space limitations determined by the spacing of the pins.
  • the arm portions lead out from this region, and use rear lateral portions of the heel region of the ski boot for additional fastening of the coupling element.
  • the coupling element may be fastened very robustly to the ski boot, such that it remains securely on the ski boot even in the event of long, demanding use and wear is reduced.
  • loosening or even breaking away of the coupling element is reliably prevented even in the case of very high release threshold values.
  • the coupling element preferably comprises a central portion, on which the central fastening point is arranged, the arm portions extending out from the central portion substantially in mutually opposing directions.
  • a coupling element is simple in shape and may be of cheap and robust manufacture, being made for example from a suitable sheet metal.
  • the contact portions may be arranged on opposing lateral edge portions of the central portion and each comprise a groove for accommodating a pin of the automatic heel mechanism.
  • the conventional coupling element for example a coupling element according to EP 0 199 098 A2
  • My torque a torque about a transverse axis extending orthogonally to the longitudinal axis of the ski and orthogonally to the vertical axis
  • the forces introduced into the coupling element thus act in part away from the boot and in part downwards.
  • the fastening points and the shape of the coupling element are optimally adapted to these force directions, in that the arm portions extend outwards in the manner of wings above the contact portions. This configuration in particular counteracts the tilting away of the coupling element observed during load testing.
  • the outer fastening points should be arranged in widened end portions of the arm portions, such that it is possible to provide sufficient material in the end portions to form the fastening points, for example to arrange a fastening hole, while the thickness of the arm portions may be smaller to save weight while retaining the same overall coupling element strength.
  • the widened end portions are downwardly widened end portions, so achieving the additional advantage that the position of the fastening points may be shifted closer vertically to the contact portions of the coupling element and the region in the heel region of the ski boot for fitting the coupling element may be put to optimum use.
  • the coupling element prefferably has a substantially arcuate shape conformed to a heel region of a ski boot.
  • the coupling element is then optimally conformed to the contour of a ski boot in the heel region, in order to be reliably fastened thereto.
  • the fastening means may comprise a through opening.
  • the coupling element may thus be fastened to the boot at the at least one fastening point by means of a screw passed through the through opening.
  • the provision of a peg projecting towards the boot at least one of the fastening points would also be feasible, said peg sitting by interference fit in a corresponding opening in the ski boot.
  • the outer fastening points of the coupling element are arranged laterally outside the contact portions of the coupling element.
  • the distance between the contact surfaces of the pins is around 20 mm, such that the improvement according to the invention of the fastening structure is achieved if a distance between the outer fastening points is greater than roughly 20 mm.
  • a marked further increase in the robustness of the coupling element fastening may be achieved if the distance between the outer fastening points is greater than roughly 40 mm, since then the lever action of the lengthened arm portions may be put to good use.
  • the best load tests were performed with coupling elements in which the distance between the outer fastening points is greater than roughly 60 mm.
  • the coupling element may comprise at least one peg projecting on the boot side, which peg is inserted or insertable into a hole in the heel region of the ski boot on fastening of the coupling element to the ski boot.
  • the projecting peg may assist in fitting the coupling element to the ski boot, by holding the coupling element temporarily in the correct position on the ski boot.
  • the form-fitting engagement between peg and associated hole may further improve the stability of the coupling element against tilting under load.
  • the arm portions according to the invention may provide additional fastening points on the coupling element, in order to increase coupling element fastening robustness, as has already been described above. To achieve this effect, it is not absolutely necessary for the coupling element to be fastened at all fastening points with the same mechanical effort, and the same load carrying capacity.
  • the coupling element be held at the central fastening point by means of a screw fastening and be held at the outer two fastening points only by in each case at least one projecting peg, which is inserted into a hole in the ski boot, or that the coupling element be held at the central fastening point only by at least one peg projecting on the boot side, which is inserted into a hole in the ski boot, and be held at the outer two fastening points by means of a screw fastening.
  • the coupling element is preferably made from a metal casting and has a thickness which is greater than roughly 2.5 mm at least in the region of its contact portions and/or above the contact portions. Such a coupling element has sufficient inner stability to be able to withstand the forces exerted by the pins when loaded.
  • the peripheral area of the coupling element offers a larger contact surface than conventional coupling elements, such that frictional forces between the pins and the coupling element are reduced. This is particularly advantageous when the user shifts his weight onto the heel portion of the ski boot, by leaning back for example, and the ski binding is stressed in this state in the direction of lateral release (if a release torque acting around a vertical axis of rotation acts on the ski boot).
  • the release behavior depends in this case also on the frictional force between the pins and the contact portions of the coupling element and a reduction in this frictional force allows a better defined, more predictable release threshold, such that release safety may be increased in comparison with coupling elements of lower material thickness.
  • a ski boot which comprises an upper portion and a sole portion, wherein a coupling element of the above-described type according to the invention is fastened to the sole portion in a heel region of the sole portion.
  • a coupling element of the above-described type according to the invention is fastened to the sole portion in a heel region of the sole portion.
  • coupling holes may be provided in the heel region of the ski boot, in alignment with the two contact portions of the coupling element, in which holes there engage pins projecting forwards from an automatic heel mechanism of a ski binding and bearing on the contact portions.
  • ski equipment comprising a ski boot, which comprises an upper portion and a sole portion, in particular a ski boot of the above-mentioned type, a coupling element of the above-described type according to the invention being fastened to the sole portion in a heel region of the sole portion, and the equipment further comprising a ski binding, in particular a touring ski binding, with an automatic heel mechanism, which comprises forwardly projecting pins which in a downhill position of the ski binding bear on the contact portions of the coupling element and which slide off the contact portions of the coupling element in the event of fall release of the ski binding once a release force acting on the ski boot has been overcome.

  • FIGS. 1 to 4 are each perspective, side or rear views respectively of a heel region of a ski boot 10 , which comprises an upper portion 12 and a sole portion 14 .
  • the ski boot 10 defines a boot centre line M, which passes through the ski boot 10 in the direction of a longitudinal boot axis, and defines a vertical boot center plane E, which contains the boot center line M.
  • a coupling element 16 is fastened in a manner to be described in greater detail below via three fastening points 18 l , 18 r , 20 to a rear portion of the sole portion 14 .
  • the coupling element 16 comprises a central portion 24 , through which pass the boot center line M and the boot center plane E when the coupling element 16 is in the fastened state, and a left-hand arm portion 26 l and a right-hand arm portion 26 r , which extend out from an upper portion of the central portion 24 in mutually opposing lateral directions.
  • a central fastening point 20 which is formed in the exemplary embodiment by a central hole arranged concentrically to the boot center plane E, which hole is provided to accommodate a central fastening screw 28 (cf. FIG. 4 ).
  • contact portions are in each case provided in the form of grooves 30 l , 30 r at the lateral edges of the central portion 24 , the contour of which grooves is conformed to the outer contour of pins 31 l , 31 r (cf. FIGS. 6 and 7 ) of an automatic heel mechanism, not represented further, of a touring ski binding (for example an automatic heel mechanism known from EP 0 199 098 A2).
  • the grooves 30 l , 30 r accordingly comprise a contour in the form of a segment of a circle.
  • the grooves 30 l , 30 r preferably develop at their upper ends in each case into the arm portions 26 l or 26 r , while at their lower ends they may each develop into release projections 32 l , 32 r extending laterally outwards. Further down from the release projections 32 l , 32 r the side edges of the central portion 24 preferably each form guide bevels 34 l , 34 r , which extend downwards towards one another, such that the central portion 24 tapers downwards.
  • Two pegs 36 l , 36 r projecting towards the boot may additionally be provided on the central portion 24 (in the figures on either side of the boot center plane E), which pegs are designed for form-fitting engagement in corresponding holes in the sole portion 14 .
  • the arm portions 26 l , 26 r preferably extend laterally to the left and right respectively substantially in a T-shape from the central portion 24 . They start at the central portion 24 above the grooves 30 l , 30 r , such that they extend above the pins 31 l , 31 r engaged in the grooves 30 l , 30 r .
  • the grooves 30 l , 30 r lead directly into the arm portions 26 l , 26 r , and the arm portions 26 l , 26 r may bear with their lower edge portions 38 l , 38 r on the top of the pins 31 l , 31 r , such that weight may be introduced from the ski boot 10 into the pins 31 l , 31 r.
  • the arm portions 26 l , 26 r extend outwards beyond the grooves 30 l , 30 r and thus beyond the pins 31 l , 31 r engaged therein. At the same time, they extend, in a plan view according to FIG. 7 , forwards in an arc, which is conformed to the contour of the heel region of the sole portion 14 of the ski boot 10 .
  • the outer fastening points 18 l , 18 r are in each case provided for fastening the coupling element 16 to the ski boot 10 .
  • the outer fastening points 18 l , 18 r are also formed as through holes, through which fastening screws 40 l , 40 r (shown only in FIG. 4 ) may be introduced and screwed into the sole portion 14 of the ski boot 10 .
  • Both the through holes of the outer fastening points 18 l , 18 r and the through hole of the central fastening point 20 may be provided with a conical bevel, to prepare the coupling element 16 for fastening by means of countersunk head screws 40 l , 40 r , 28 , which substantially do not project beyond the outer contour of the coupling element 16 .
  • the arm portions 26 l , 26 r are widened at their ends comprising the outer fastening points 18 l , 18 r and each in particular comprise a downwardly projecting widened portion 42 l , 42 r .
  • the widened portions 42 l , 42 r may provide sufficient space on the coupling element 16 for provision of the outer fastening points 18 l , 18 r , so as in particular to be able to provide through holes of sufficient size for a stable screw fastening.
  • the height of the outer fastening points 18 l , 18 r may additionally be lowered, such that the overall structural height of the coupling element 16 may be reduced and the structural space available at the rear sole portion 14 may be put to good use.
  • the arm portions 26 l , 26 r straddle the pins 31 l , 31 r like a bridge, such that the coupling element 16 is fastened on either side of each pin by the central fastening point 20 on the one hand and by one of the two outer fastening points 18 l , 18 r on the other hand. In this a way very stable fastening of the coupling element 16 is achieved with regard to the force introduction point (between the pins 31 l , 31 r and the grooves 30 l , 30 r ).
  • the coupling element 16 is formed in one piece from a metal casting, for example a steel casting.
  • the coupling element is preferably of sufficient material thickness, at least in the region of the grooves 30 l , 30 r and/or in the region of the bottom edge portions 38 l , 38 r of the arm portions 26 l , 26 r , to enlarge the contact surface between the pins 31 l , 31 r and the grooves 30 l , 30 r such that the frictional forces between these elements are reduced, as is wear.
  • the coupling element 16 may comprise a reinforcing portion 43 in the region of the grooves 30 l , 30 r or the edge portions 38 l , 38 r , which reinforcing portion is correspondingly thicker, for example with a thickness ranging from roughly 3 mm to roughly 5 mm, while in the other portions, e.g. in the more distal regions of the arm portions 26 l , 26 r and the remaining central portion 24 , the coupling element 16 has a plate thickness of only roughly 2 mm, such that the necessary stability is still ensured.
  • the coupling element 16 could be made from a metal plate of constant thickness ranging from roughly 3 mm to roughly 5 mm. If weight reduction is given priority over frictional properties, a stable coupling element may however also be provided with a continuous plate thickness of roughly 2 mm.
  • a distance y between the outer fastening points 18 l , 18 r in the exemplary embodiment amounts to roughly 60 mm, while the distance between the pins 31 l , 31 r or the associated grooves 30 l , 30 r is roughly 20 mm.
  • the outer fastening points 18 l , 18 r are thus markedly further away from the boot center line M than the pins 31 l , 31 r and, for fastening the coupling element 16 , may thus use significantly longer levers than the pins 31 l , 31 r to introduce the forces.
  • the ski boot 10 is positioned above the pins 31 l , 31 r of the binding and lowered in a roughly vertical direction, the pins 31 l , 31 r passing through corresponding slot-shaped recesses 44 l , 44 r in the sole portion 14 , which open at the bottom towards the sole 46 of the ski boot 10 .
  • the pins 31 l , 31 r then come into bearing contact with the guide bevels 34 l , 34 r and are forced apart thereby.
  • the pins 31 l , 31 r are spread apart against the resistance of a resilient device of the automatic heel mechanism (not shown), which tensions the pins 31 l , 31 r towards one another with a spring force corresponding to the release force. Once the pins 31 l , 31 r have got past the release projections 32 l , 32 r , they snap into the grooves 30 l , 30 r , such that engagement between ski boot 10 and automatic heel mechanism is then complete.
  • the front ends of the pins 31 l , 31 r are then located in coupling holes 48 l , 48 r , which are formed in the rear heel region of the sole portion 14 of the ski boot 10 in alignment with the grooves 30 l , 30 r and widen in a downward direction, so as to develop into the guide slots 44 l , 44 r .
  • Ski boot 10 and ski binding are then in the downhill position.
  • the ski binding holds the ski boot 10 firmly on the ski by way of the pins 31 l , 31 r , corresponding forces being introduced into the ski boot 10 via the pins 31 l , 31 r and the coupling element 16 .
  • these forces are introduced optimally into the heel region of the ski boot 10 making use of lever effects and the distributed force introduction points, such that the coupling element 16 may be held stable on the ski boot 10 .
  • a force acting between ski boot 10 and automatic heel mechanism exceeds a predetermined release threshold (depending on the magnitude of the resilient force acting between the pins 31 l , 31 r ), for example during a fall, the pins 31 l , 31 r slide out of the grooves 30 l , 30 r over the release projections 32 l , 32 r , such that the coupling element 16 is pulled upwards off the pins 31 l , 31 r and the heel region of the ski boot 10 is released.
  • the present invention is not restricted to the above-mentioned exemplary embodiment. It is thus also feasible, in particular instead of the screw fastening of the outer fastening points and of the central fastening point, to use different fastening principles.
  • a pin projecting from the coupling element towards the boot could be provided, at least one of the fastening points, which pin is anchored by interference fit in a corresponding opening in the boot. Due to the lever action of the lengthened arm portions, such a fastening may be feasible in particular for the outer fastening points, in order to reduce weight and fitting effort while ensuring a sufficiently robust connection between coupling element and boot.
  • a fastening by means of interference fit could of course be provided at the central fastening point. Further per se known fastening principles, such as for instance adhesive fastening or clip fastening, are likewise conceivable.
