Definitions

  • a carrying member for a soleholder and a closing pedal is pivoted on an axis disposed behind the heel and is under the influence of a spring element.
  • the heel-holding device automatically assumes a locking position in response to the insertion of a skiing boot into the binding and can be arbitrarily opened, e.g., by the application of slight pressure with a ski stick to a release member, and can be automatically released in response to an excessive upward tensile force, which is approximately vertical.
  • the carrying member consists of two jaw arms, which are pivotally movable relative to each other against the force of the spring element.
  • One of said jaw arms carries the soleholder and/or the closing pedal.
  • a locking lever is pivoted on a pivot that is parallel to the pivot of the carrying member.
  • the locking lever is pivotally movable to its release position under the influence of that arm of the carrying member which carries the soleholder and against the force of the retaining spring.
  • the locking lever has a locking nose, which cooperates with the other arm of the carrying member.
  • the present invention relates to a heel-holding device for safety ski bindings, which device comprises a carrying member for a soleholder and a closing pedal, which carrying member is pivoted on an axis disposed behind the heel and is under the influence of a spring element, and which device automatically assumes a locking position in response to the insertion of a skiing boot into the binding and can be arbitrarily opened, e.g., by the application of slight pressure with a ski stick to a release member, and can be automatically released in response to an excessive upward tensile force, which is approximately Vertical.
  • heel-holding devices Compared to other known heel-holding devices which operate according to different principles, they have the important advantage that the force which acts in a releasing sense on the soleholder is opposed by a progressively increasing, elastic resistance until a predetermined, adjustable release position is reached, and that resistance damps the force.
  • the heel-holding devices of the kind defined have an important disadvantage, which reduces their utility and opposes their practical use.
  • the carrying member for the soleholder and the closing pedal is so mounted on a part which is fixed to the ski that a certain displacement of said carrying member in an approximately vertical upward direction is required before it can perform a rearward pivotal movement to its open position. That upward displacement is opposed by the force of the spring element.
  • a lock is provided to prevent a downward displacement of the carrying member by the spring element when the carrying member has been outwardly deflected.
  • the carrying member is pivotally moved forwardly so that the spring element is released to effect a sudden return displacement of the carrying member.
  • a heel-holding device for safety ski bindings which device comprises a carrying member for a soleholder and a closing pedal, which carrying member is pivoted on an axis disposed behind the heel and is under the influence of a spring element, and which device automatically assumes a locking position in response to the insertion of a skiing boot into the binding and can be arbitrarily opened, e.g., by the application of slight pressure with a ski stick to a release member, and can be automatically released in response to an excessive upward tensile force, which is approximately vertical
  • the carrying member consists of two jaw arms, which are pivotally movable relative to each other against the force of the spring element, one of said jaw arms carries the soleholder and/or the closing pedal, and a locking lever is provided, which is pivoted on a pivot that is parallel to the pivot of the carrying member, said locking lever is pivotally movable to its release position under the influence of that arm of the carrying member which carries the soleholder and against the force of a
  • the spring element is not connected to a part of the device which is fixed to the ski.
  • the spring element consists in this case preferably of a helical compression spring.
  • the spring element cannot aifect the closing movement of the carrying member for the soleholder and the closing pedal. In this closing movement, only the small force of the holding spring acting on the locking lever must be overcome when a small rearward pivotal movement is imparted to the locking lever under the influence of that part of the carrying lever which cooperates with the locking nose of the lever.
  • the range of the pivotal movement of the jaw arms of the carrying member is structurally defined.
  • the locking lever can be pivotally moved as a whole only when the locking lever releases both arms of the carrying member.
  • a rearward pivotal movement must be imparted to the locking lever against the force of its retaining spring.
  • the rearward pivotal movement may be imparted to the locking lever by that arm of the soleholder which carries the soleholder and this arm may impart said movement while the arm is moving relative to the other arm of the carrying member under the influence of an approximately vertically upwardly directed tension force acting on the soleholder and opposed by the force of the spring element.
  • a larger or smaller rearward pivotal movement is imparted to the locking lever.
  • the retaining spring causes the locking lever to return to its initial position when the force decreases. If an excessive force, which endangers the leg of the skier, is acting on the soleholder, e.g., during a forward fall, the locking lever will be pivotally moved to the rear to such an extent that its locking nose releases the other arm of the carrying member so that the carrying member as a whole can be pivotally moved in an opening sense and the heel of the skiingboot can free itself from the holding device,
  • the locking lever cooperates by means of a cam with that arm of the carrying member which carries the soleholder.
  • the cam may be adjustably held on the locking lever. It is desirable to provide for an adjustment of the distance of the cam from the axis of the locking lever.
  • that arm of the carrying member which carries the soleholder cooperates by a coupling link with the locking lever.
  • the pivot connecting the coupling link to the locking lever may be displaceably mounted.
  • the initial stress of the spring element may be variable for an adjustment of the release hardness value.
  • the heel-holding device is suitably provided with an indicator for the release hardness value.
  • the housing which contains the pivots for the carrying member and the locking lever consists of a carriage and is held for displacement in the longitudinal direction of the ski on a base plate, which is fixed to the ski, and a spring element is included in the kinematic linkage for displacing the carriage toward the tip of the ski.
  • the arrangement is preferably such in this case that the spring element serves both for producing the forward contact pressure and as a retaining spring for the locking lever.
  • An indicator is preferably provided also for the magnitude of the forward contact pressure.
  • a signal generator e.g., for generating an audible signal, the generation of a signal by said generator being automatically initiated shortly before the release.
  • the actuating member for an arbitrary opening of the device consists suitably of a rearwardly angled extension of the locking lever. Slight pressure applied to this extension, e.g., with the tip of the ski stick, will then be suflicient to impart to the locking lever a rearward pivotal movement to such an extent that it releases both arms of the carrying member and the latter can be pivotally moved as a whole to its open position. It is suflicient if said pressure overcomes the small force of the retaining spring.
  • an opening spring which acts between the housing and the carrying member and which may preferably consist of a torsion spring mounted on the pivot of the carrying member and just overcomes the weight of the carrying member and of the parts carried by it.

  • the several parts of the device are mounted in or on a housing 1, which can be secured to a ski by means which are not shown.
  • the housing is open on top toward the tip of the ski and carries a pivot 2, which extends transversely to the longitudinal direction of the ski and on which a carrying member is pivoted.
  • This carrying member consists of two jaw arms 4, 5, which are pivotally movable relative to each other against the force of a helical compression spring 3.
  • Each arm consists, e.g., of a bent sheet metal member and has two congrument lugs, with which it is pivoted on the pivot 2 independently of the other arm.
  • the free end of arm 4 forms a spring housing, which receives the free end of arm 5.
  • Each arm has a depressed portion 6 or 7, by which the helical compression spring 3 is held against transverse displacement.
  • a soleholder 8 and a closing pedal 9 are fixed by a screw 10 to the spring housing formed by the free end of the arm 4. Slots 11 for the screw 10 are provided in the fixing arm of the closing pedal and in the corresponding portion of the arm of the carrying member so that the soleholder can be adjusted to soles having different thicknesses.
  • the fixing arm of the closing pedal may be non-detachably secured to the arm 4.
  • teeth or the like, which are not shown may be provided in known manner.
  • a locking lever 13 is pivotally mounted on a pivot 12, which is mounted in the housing 1 and parallel to the pivot 2.
  • a torsion spring 21 is mounted on the pivot 12 and has one arm bearing on a part that is connected to the locking lever. This spring tends to hold the locking lever in its locking position (see FIG. 1).
  • the locking lever extends out of the housing 1 between the lugs of the arms 4, 5 and has a locking nose 14, which cooperates with a pin 15 that connects the two lugs of the arm 5.
  • a cam 16 of the locking lever can cooperate with a pin 17, which connects the two lugs of the arm 4.
  • the cam 16 has a guide portion, which is slidably received in an aperture 18 of the locking lever 13.
  • the cam has a tapped hole, into which a screw 19 is threaded, which is rotatably mounted and axially fixed in the locking lever.
  • the screw can be rotated, e. g., with the aid of a coin, to adjust the distance from the locking nose 1-6 to the connecting part 17.
  • the locking lever 13 has a rearwardly angled extension 20, which serves as an arcuating member for an arbitrary opening of the device, as will be described hereinafter.
  • FIG. 2 shows the device in its open position.
  • the heel contacts the closing pedal 9 to depress the same so that the arms 4 and 5 are pivotally moved in a counterclockwise sense in FIG. 2 and the soleholder 8 engages the upper rim of the sole from above.
  • this closing movement it is suflicient to overcome the small force of the torsion spring 21 acting on the locking lever 13 when the latter performs a small rearward pivotal movement under the action of the connecting pin which cooperates with the locking nose of the lever.
  • the heel-holding device assumes its locking position, shown in FIG. 1.
  • the arm 4 of the carrying member can perform an upward pivotal movement about the pivot 2 against the force of the helical compression spring 3 whereas the arm 5 is held in its position by the locking nose 14.
  • the spring 3 depresses the arm 4 and with it the soleholder and the heel of the skiing boot downwardly.
  • the spring 3 is compressed to such an extent that the connecting pin 17 of the arm 4 engages the cam 16 of the locking lever 13 and causes the latter to perform a rearward pivotal movement against the small force of the torsion spring 21.
  • the torsion spring causes the locking lever to return to its locking position.
  • the spring 3 is compressed to such an extent that the connecting pin 17 acting on the cam 16 imparts to the locking lever 13 a rearward pivotal movement until the locking nose 14 releases the connecting pin 15 of the arm 5.
  • the carrying member as a whole can continue its pivotal movement to its unlocking position, in which the heel of the skiing boot is released by the heel-holding device.
  • the locking lever is pivotally moved about the pivot 12 against the small force of the torsion spring 21. This may be effected, e.g., by the application of pressure with the tip of the ski stick on the extension of the locking lever 13.
  • the locking nose 14 is thus caused to release the connecting pin 15 so that the carrying member consisting of the arms 4, 5 can perform as a whole an upward pivotal movement without need for overcoming a spring force.
  • FIGS. 36 show a further embodiment of a heelholding device according to the invention.
  • a resilient contact pressure of the skiing boot against a toe-holding device is generated.
  • a housing 31 is designed as a carriage and held on a base plate for displacement in the longitudinal direction of the ski.
  • the base plate 25 is fixed to the ski.
  • the housing is open at the top and toward the tip of the ski and carries a pivot 32, which extends transversely to the longitudinal direction of the ski.
  • the pivot 32 carries a carrying member, which consists of two arms 34, 35, which are pivotally movable relative to each other against the force of the helical compression spring 33.
  • Each arm has again two spaced apart, congruent lugs.
  • the free end of the arm 34 forms a spring housing, which receives the free end of the arm 35.
  • the arm 34 has a rivet 36 and the arm has a rivet 37.
  • a screw is rotatably mounted and axially fixed to the free end of arm 34.
  • the soleholder 38 is threaded on the screw 40 with the aid of two lugs, which extend through a guide slot 41 of the arm 34 into the spring housing.
  • the screw 40 can be rotated to displace the soleholder 38 in the guide slot 41 for adjustment to soles having different thicknesses.
  • the closing pedal 39 is integral with the arm 34. That part which forms the guide lugs of the soleholder is made from a metal strip, which has an aperture, in which an eye member 24 for a retaining belt is mounted.
  • a pivot 42 is mounted in the housing 31 and extends parallel to the pivot 32.
  • a locking lever 43 is pivoted on the pivot 42. Just as in the embodiment described just before the locking lever extends between the lugs of the arms 34, 35 out of the housing 31 and has a locking nose 44, which cooperates with a pin 45, which connects the two lugs of the arm 35.
  • a cam 46 of the locking lever cooperates with a pin 47, which connects the two lugs of the arm 34.
  • the cam 46 has a guide portion, which is slidably mounted in an aperture 48 of the locking lever 43.
  • the cam 46 has also a tapped hole, into which a screw 49 is threaded, which is rotatably mounted and axially fixed in the locking lever.
  • the locking lever 43 has a rearwardly angled extension 50, which serves as an actuating member for an arbitrary opening of the device.
  • the extension has a recess 50 for receiving the tip of a ski stick.
  • a resilient contact pressure is generated by a helical compression spring 51, which acts via the locking lever 43 and the pivot 42 on the housing 31.
  • the helical compression spring bears at its other end on a spring abutment 52, which is fitted on tapped bushing 53 and bears on a collar of that bushing.

  • the helical compression spring 51 does not act in a radial direction toward the pivot 42 but engages the locking lever 43 on a somewhat higher level to hold the locking lever normally in its locking position so that there is no need for a separate retaining spring.
  • a torsion spring 57 is mounted on the pivot pin 32 of the carrying member and bears at one end on the housing 31 and at the other end on the arm 34 of the carrying member. During the rearward pivotal movement of the locking lever 43, the carrying member is thus automatically caused to perform a pivotal movement to its unlocking position. This is required, e.g., before the skis are applied when the device is still in its locking position, e.g., because the skis have been transported immediately before.
  • the release hardness value is adjustable by means of the screw 49 and indicated by a pointer 58, which is connected to the guide part of the cam 46. Depending on the position of the cam, the free end of the pointer is visible to a smaller or larger extent through a slot 59, which is longitudinally aligned with the locking lever 43. In the present case, the device is set to the lowest release hardness value so that the pointer is only slightly visible in the slot 59 (see FIG. 5).
  • the forward contact pressure is indicated by a pointer 60, which is indicated only in FIG. 6 and formed by a portion of the spring abutment 52. This portion is forwardly angled. Depending on the instantaneous value of the contact pressure, the pointer is more or less visible through an aperture 61 in the forward side wall of the housing 31 in FIG. 6. In the position shown, the device is in its locked position but there is no skiing boot in the binding so that the spring 51 is not stressed beyond its initial stress. As a result, the lock washer 54 engages the rear wall of the housing so that the pointer 60 is only slightly visible in the aperture 61.
