Definitions

  • the invention relates to ski bindings. More particularly, the invention relates to an arrangement for ski bindings for threadedly adjusting the relative position of the binding component to another component, such as the sole or base plate or the like.
  • Bindings are known having a threaded spindle that is provided with a left and a right hand thread and which with each of these threads engages a corresponding threaded bore in the ski or binding parts that are adjustable relative to one another.
  • an adjusting nut and a counter nut are provided.
  • the manufacture of this type of adjusting device including the left hand and right hand threads and the required threaded bores in the parts to be adjusted, is relatively expensive.
  • such threaded bores can only be provided in correspondingly strong and wear resistant parts.
  • the installation or assembly of such an adjusting device is relatively complicated.
  • the adjusting range cannot be greater than the length of the threads and that the adjusting spindle projects rearwardly from the base plate.
  • the invention resides primarily in that the threaded spindle is journalled in one of the parts to be adjusted relative to one another where it is secured against longitudinal displacement, and that a nut threaded upon the spindle has a catch that extends from this part and engages recesses or the like in this counter part.
  • the threaded spindle may in any desired and simple manner he held on the associated component. For example, in accordance with the preferred embodiment of the invention it is possible to place it or press it into the slotted or fork-shaped bearings of this part.
  • the threaded spindle always maintains the same position relative to that part in which it is inserted.
  • the arrangement may be such that only its screw head extends from this part while the threaded shaft is arranged within the part but is protected against ice accumulation and damage. Besides that, the danger is thus avoided that the skier can injure himself on the setting screw.
  • the spindle, the threaded nut and their catch are simple and can be produced at very low cost on automatic lathes.
  • the manufacture of the journals also requires no considerable costs in the particular component. It is of particular advantage that these hearings can be applied or installed subsequently on existing base plates or binding parts without it being necessary to correspondingly change existing tools.
  • one or several cut-outs or recesses are provided in the part at distances behind one another in the direction of adjustment while preferably one distance is equal to the adjusting range of the spindle.
  • FIG. 1 is a bottom view of a sole or base plate provided with the threaded adjusting means in accordance with the invention
  • FIG. 2 is a section taken along line Ill-11in FIG. 1,
  • FIG. 3 is a perspective view of the device in accordance with FIGS. 1 and 2,
  • FIG. 4 illustrates parts of a further embodiment of the invention with a damping spring
  • FIG. 5 is a side view of a further modification of the invention.
  • FIG. 6 is a sole plate which may be associated with the embodiment of FIG. 5 and where several recesses are provided.
  • the threaded spindle 1 is retained in a base or sole plate 2 or the like, which could also be a heel mounting plate, while the catcher 3 of the threaded nut 4 engages a recess 5 of the binding component 6 which is to be adjusted.
  • the binding part 6 may be a safety head, an automatic heel binding or the like.
  • the threaded nut may have a shoulder 4' on the side which carries the catch, upon which the counter part 2 can rest with relative safety against tilting.
  • the threaded spindle is laid into a slot or forked bearing of the particular part.
  • This journal construction is provided here at 7 in the border 2 of the plate 2 and is open at the bottom.
  • An arrangement of such type that the threaded spindle can be pressed into this bearing with a snapping or clamping elfect and which is self-supporting is advisable.
  • the component provided with this hearing or journal consists of a somewhat resilient plastic.
  • the other end of the spindle 1 suitably is also journalled and held, for example, in a forked portion 7' of the strip 2".
  • the catch 3 and the recess 5 may be optionally formed.
  • the threaded spindle may be covered by the plate 2 (see FIGS. 1-3) which has a slot 8 for passage of the catch 3 that extends over the range of adjustment.
  • one or several flanges or shoulders 9 may be provided.
  • the collar 9 is at a distance from the screw head 10 which corresponds to the thickness of the wall 2' or of the corresponding strip of the plate 2 in which the spindle is placed.
  • the setting of the screw is effected by inserting a screwdriver or a coin into the slot of the screw head 10. Instead the setting could also be effected by means of a knurled knob that can be manipulated by hand.
  • FIG. 4 indicates that the spindle 1 can be supported for longitudinal displacement over a limited path in the direction S against the effect of a spring 11.
  • This spring serves the purpose of compensating for the thrust that arises as the boot is inserted or pressed into the binding. This is necessary particularly when the safety device, for example a heel release, is adjusted too tightly and thereby too large a force of compression arises between the shoe and the binding.
  • the spring 11 is provided between a collar 9' of the spring and a counter part of the particular component, for example a wall or a strip 2" of the sole plate or the like. It is understood that the spring 11 may also be in the form of a nest of spring washers or as a flat spring.
  • the threaded spindle may also be on the part which is to be adjusted (safety head, automatic heel binding), while the counter part which has the recess is constituted by the base plate, sole plate, mounting plate, or the like. It is therefore within the scope of the invention that the means described in the embodiments in connection with one part may also be provided in the reverse arrangement in the corresponding counter part.
  • FIG. 5 illustrates schematically the heel retaining binding 13 which holds the heel 12 of a ski boot and in which a threaded spindle 14 is located.
  • This spindle supports a threaded nut 15 having a catch 15' which engages a corresponding recess 16 of the base or sole plate 17.
  • FIG. 6 shows the arrangement of several apertures 18 already mentioned, which are disposed at distances from one another in the direction of the adjustment, where a space a corresponds suitably to the adjustment range of the associated threaded spindle.
  • a space a corresponds suitably to the adjustment range of the associated threaded spindle.
  • Ski binding mechanism for the threaded adjustment of the position of an automatic heel binding component relative to another component, for example the base plate, comprising a threaded spindle journalled in one of said components, holding means in said one component securing said spindle against longitudinal displacement relative to said plate, and a threaded nut on said spindle having a catch projecting therefrom as a unitary member, the other said component having a recessed configuration for interengagement with said catch, said catch extending into said configuration, said holding means being defined by a forked bearing in a portion projecting from the surface of one said component adapted to receive said spindle with a clamping effect in response to pressure and defining a shoulder, and by a pair of configurations extending radially from said spindle on opposite sides of said shoulder.
  • Ski binding mechanism in accordance with claim 1, where one configuration of said pair is in the form of a collar and the other is a screw head.
