Definitions

  • a safety device for releasably binding the toe end of a ski boot to a ski comprising a base plate adapted to be secured to a ski, a hollow pivot member rigid with and extending upwardly at right angles to the base plate and an abutment member adapted to engage the toe portion of a ski boot and having a bore receiving the hollow pivot member whereby the abutment member is rotatably mounted on the hollow pivot member.
  • the hollow pivot member has apertures through its upstanding walls with detent members positioned in said apertures and engageable in recesses in the bore of the abutment member to restrain the abutment member from pivoting about the pivot member with the hollow pivot member containing resilient means for biasing the detent members into the recesses.
  • the present invention relates in general to safety ski bindings and has specic reference to a safety toe-retaining device adapted to releasably hold the toe end of a ski boot of which the heel is already bound to the ski through any other suitable means.
  • these devices consist of an abutment or check member pivotally mounted on the ski by means of a vertical pivot and having a rear face provided with means adapted to retain the toe end of the ski boot.
  • This rotary abutment member is constantly urged to its normal skiing position by a spring-loaded retaining mechanism adapted to permit the rotation of this abutment member and subsequently to release the toe end of the skiboot when an abnormally high torsional stress is exerted on the leg and foot of the user.
  • the retaining mechanism of the rotary abutment member should be capable of constantly exerting a resilient return torque on this member during its rotation, this action being maintained throughout a relatively important angular movement of the abutment or check member.
  • a long release stroke during which the boot can rotate while remaining under the control of, and in mutual engagement with, the rotary abutment member, can 4be obtained.
  • the abutment or check member can rotate to avoid a sprain of the skiers ankle or any other accident, the mechanism then urging the abutment member and therefore the skiers boot to its normal running position.
  • the abutment member can continue its rotation until the boot is released completely, but due to the relatively long release stroke afforded by the abutment mechanism any premature, too rapid or sudden release of the skiers boot, which might prove dangerous for the skiers leg, is safely avoided.
  • the safety ski-binding according to this invention which is of the type broadly set forth hereinabove, is characterised in that said detent-positioning members are radially movable in the wall of said hollow pivot which is thinner than said detent-positioning members, and that said resilient thrust means are adapted to urge said detent-positioned members radially outwards into recesses formed in the inner wall of said abutment member, said recesses being so shaped that in case of abnormally high torque exerted on said abutment member said detent-positioning members are moved back towards the axis of said hollow pivot member.
  • the recesses formed in the inner wall of the abutment member are widely outared in the horizontal plane, as their section in this plane forms an angle of at least and these recesses as well as the rounded ends of the detent-positioning members are dimensioned to develop a resilient return torque of nearly constant value throughout an angular movement of relatively great amplitude of the abutment member.
  • the movable detent-positioning members consist of three balls disposed at spaced intervals on the periphery of the pivot member and, at the same level as these balls, the contour of the inner Wall of the rotary abutment member has substantially the shape of a curvilinear triangle having its convex sides tangent, in their middle, to the outer surface of said pivot member, the bottom of said recesses corresponding to the vertices of said triangle.
  • FIG. 1 is a vertical section, taken along a longitudinal plane containing the center line of the ski, of a ski bind-'I ing according to this invention
  • FIG. 2 is a horizontal section taken upon the broken line II--II of FIG. l;
  • FIG. 3 is a section similar to FIG. 1 but showing the same device during its operation, i.e. when the abutment member is rotated as a consequence of a torque impressed thereto'by the toe end of the skiers boot;
  • FIG. 4 is a corresponding sectional view taken along the line IV-IV of FIG. 3;
  • FIG. 5 is a fragmentary diagrammatic horizontal section illustrating the movements performed by each resilient detent-positioning member during the operation of the device
  • FIGS. 6 and 7 are sectional views similar to FIG. 1 but showing two modied forms of embodiment of the device;
  • FIG. 8 is a perspective view showing the form of e'mbodiment of FIG. 7
  • FIG. 9 is a similar section showing a still further modication of the device.
  • FIG. 10 is a horizontal section taken upon the line X-X of FIG. 9.
  • the main or abutment member 1 of the toe-engaging safety ski-binding according to this invention v is rotatably mounted about a vertical pivot member 2 rigid or formed integrally with a base plate 3.
  • This base plate 3 is securedto the top surface of the ski through any known and suitable means, such as screws 5, and positioned thereon so that the abutment member 1 registers with the toe end of the skiers boot.
  • the rear portion of the rotary member 1 comprises a pair of oblique divergent lateral arms 6 adapted to hold the i toe end of the boot therebetween.
  • this jaw-like member may be replaced by any other suitable and known low and the mechanism contemplated in the device illus- Y trated in this specic form of embodiment includes three balls 8 disposed in radial apertures 9 formed to this end in the wall of said pivot member 2.
  • apertures may be disposed at regular intervals around the periphery of the pivot member 2 with their axes disposed in a common horizontal plane.
  • the balls 8 can thus move in this plane and their diameter is somewhat greater than the radial thickness of the wall of pivot member 2.
  • This push member may consist for example of a piston-like part 10 of which the frusto-conical outer wall engage the balls 8, spring means exerting a vertical downward pressure against said push member, as shown.
  • Said spring means advantageously consists of a coil compression spring 11 reacting against a nut 12 receiving an axial screw 13 extending vertically therethrough and within the pivot member 2.
  • push member 10 ⁇ is slidably mounted on a lower, plain portion 14 of the shank of said screw.
  • the lower end of the screw shank extends through the i base plate 3 and carries in a suitable cavity formed in the bottom face of said base plate 3 a washer 15 secured to said lower end by any suitable means, for example a small screw 16.
  • the upper portion of screw 13 comprises a conventional slotted head 17 under which a relatively large Washer 18 is disposed for acting as a cap closing and sealing the hollow pivot member 2.
  • the aforesaid nut 12 comprises at its outer periphery a radially projecting pin 19 engaging a longitudinal groove 20 formed in the inner wall of said hollow pivot member 2, in order positively to prevent the rotation of said nut 12.
  • push member 10 constantly urges the balls 8 outwards to hold them within recesses 21 formed in the inner wall of the rotary abutment member 1.
  • these recesses 21 are widely outllared in a horizontal plane.
  • their cross-sectional contour forms an angle of at least 98, for example, assuming the diameter of said balls to be 8 millimeters and the depth of the ball penetration into said recesses 21 of the order of 4.5 millimeters.
  • the contour of the inner wall of abutment member 1 has substantially the shape of a curvilinear triangle at the level of said balls 8.
  • the bottom of the recesses 21 corresponds to the vertices of this triangle of which the convex sides are tangent, in their middle, to the outer surface of pivot member 2.
  • the abutment member 1 is perfectly held in this position.
  • the member 1 is held against rotation since the balls 8 disposed in the radialV apertures 9 formed through the wall of pivot member 2 enagage at the same time the bottom of the recesses 21 formed in the inner Wall of said abutment member 1.
  • these recesses 21 is such that they tend to drive the balls 8 towards the axis of the hollow pivot member 2 (see FIGS. 3, 4 and 5) when the abutment member 1 is moved angularly about its pivot axis.
  • each ball 8 is gradually moved towards the centre 0 of pivot member 2 (see FIG. 5). Under these conditions, the point of contact between the ball and the inner wall of abutment member 1 approaches this centre 0, thus causing a gradual reduction in the lever arm through which the reaction torque is exerted on abutment member 1.
  • the corresponding lever arm 0B is smaller than the initial lever arm 0A.
  • the lever arm 0B decreases as the resilient force of spring 11 increases as a consequence of its increasing compression. These two parameters compensate each other, at least partially. Therefore, the value of the resilient reaction counteracting the rotation of abutment member 1 is kept at a nearly constant value, thus preventing a too sudden release of the skiers boot when the abutment member 1 has been rotated through an angle suflcient to cause this release, i.e. an angle greater than the angle a shown in FIG. 4, which may have a Value of the order of 30 to 35.
  • this device is designed for releasing completely the skiers boot when an important torque is exerted thereon, but this release cannot take place too suddenly, as currently observed with many other known ski bindings.
  • this device is characterised by a high degree of reliability inasmuch as the conditions of operation of the device can be adjusted at will by simply modifying the initial degree of prestress of spring 11. This operation is particularly easy since it consists simply in screwing more or less the screw 13.
  • this mechanism is advantageous in that it has a great constructional simplicity due to the use of balls or other similar detent-positioning members. Under these conditions, the linal cost of the device is relatively low.
  • this mechanism has small dimensions in the horizontal plane, due to the disposition of said balls 8 in the apertures of the walls of pivot member 2, and also to the arrangement of spring 11 and piston 10 in vertical superposed relationship within this pivot member. Now this specific arrangement does not increase the vertical dimensions of the device since a minimum height is required in any case for receiving the toe end of the skiers boot.
  • the arrangement of parts constituting the present device is such that a single push member mounted for vertical movement inside a hollow pivot member is suliicient for exerting on the balls a pressure tending to move them in a horizontal plane.
  • the detent-positioning members of this mechanism are advantageous in that they exert a direct interlocking action between the pivot member proper and the rotary abutment member 1, due to the regular angular spacing of these detent-positioning members in a common horizontal plane at the periphery of said pivot member.
  • the balls 8 themselves may be replaced by any other suitable movable members engaging recesses formed in the inner wall of the rotary abutment member.
  • the number of balls or other detent-positioning members substituted therefor is immaterial.
  • FIG. 6 illustrates another form of embodiment of the device wherein the push member arrangement is reversed.
  • the tapered or frustoconical piston 10a constituting this push member is slidably mounted on the upper, smooth portion of the shank of the adjustment screw 13a provided in this device.
  • the spring 11a urging this push member upwards will react against a nut 12a screwed on the lower, screw-threaded portion of screw 13a.
  • the push member 10a engages with its tapered wall a plurality of balls 8a disposed in radial apertures 9a formed through the wall of the hollow pivot member 2a.
  • these balls are urged outwards for engaging the relevant recesses 21a formed in the inner wall of the rotary abutment member 1a of the device.
  • this device will operate like the preceding one.
  • the abutment member 1a may if necessary be lifted in conjunction with the screw 13a against the resistance of spring 11a, in order to avoid any risk of jamming the toe end of the boot sole on the ski during the rotation of the assembly.
  • FIGS. 7 and 8 illustrate a modified form of embodiment of the device shown in FIG. 6. The only difference lies in fact that this modified arrangement comprise means for adjusting the height of the abutment member 1c with respect to the base plate 3c secured to the top surface of the ski.
  • This means consists of a vertical screw 24 engaging a tapped hole formed in the abutment member 1c and having its head 25 kept at a constant level. To this end, this head is rotatably mounted in a horizontal plate 26 in which the head 17e of the main screw 13C for adjusting the compression or prestressing of spring 11c is also rotatably mounted.
  • the vertical position of the abutment member 1c can be modified as a function of the thickness of the toe end of the sole of the boot C to be held in position.
  • the horizontal plate 26 sinks more or less into a cavity 27 formed to this end in the top surface of abutment member 1c.
  • the recesses 21C provided in the inner wall of abutment member 1c for receiving the balls 8c extend along a relatively considerable height of this member 1c.
  • FIGS. 9 and l0 illustrate another form of embodiment of the device constituting the subject-matter of this invention.
  • the outer wall of the vertical pivot member 2b comprises a part-spherical portion 23 substantially level with the movable abutment member 1b and the inner wall of this member 1b has a corresponding part-sphe-rical but concave configuration of substantially the same radius.
  • the abutment member 1b can thus swivel in all directions on the spherical or balllike portion 23 of the pivot member and constitutes somewhat a ball-and-socket joint therewith.
  • the movable abutment member 1b can not only rotate in a horizontal plane, as in all the preceding forms of embodiment, but also tilt in a vertical plane, for eX- ample to the position shown in dash-and-dot lines at 1e in FIG. 9, in which the toe end of the boot can also be released in case the skier falls backwards.
  • the movable abutment member 1b can swivel in all directions in the space in case of a skiers fall causing a combined torsional and stretching movement of the skiers leg.
  • movable rods are urged outwards by a tapered piston 10b responsive to a coil compression spring 11b reacting against a nut 12b engaging the adjustment screw 13b of the mechanism.
  • this push member constantly urges the movable rods 8b towards the bottom of the recesses 12b formed in the inner surface of the movable abutment member 1b.
  • these recesses are outared in all directions so as to take due account of the possibilities of movement of the movable abutment member 1b and ensure under all circumstances a relatively long release stroke With a resilient return action controlled by a substantially constant force.
  • the recesses 2lb may comprise portions having diierent inclinations so that this mechanism will retain the movable member 1b more firmly in predetermined directions.
  • this abutment member may comprise two separate parts assembled in any suitable manner in order to facilitate the machining of the part-spherical surface of its inner wall, and also the recesses 2lb.
