Definitions

  • the present invention has for its object to obviate the above-noted disadvantages in a simple and efficient manner.
  • the opening of the binding to release the ski boot is obtained by means of a ski pole acting as a lever and producing forces corresponding to those necessary for the safety release of the binding.
  • the tip of a ski pole is inserted within a suitable stationary notch or cavity formed, for example, on the baseplate of the binding, whereas the portion of the ski pole comprised between the tip and the disc member, bears against a part of the pivotable assembly of the binding and transmits thereon forces exerted by the user on the said ski pole, thereby causing the safety opening of the binding.
  • FIG. 1 is a top plan view of a first embodiment of the binding in accordance with the invention, the ski pole being shown in cross section;
  • FIG. 2 is a schematic longitudinal partial section of the binding in accordance with FIG. I, the tip of a ski pole being insertedin a cavity allowing opening action by said ski pole;
  • FIG. 3 is a top plan view of the binding of FIG. 1 in open position
  • FIG. 4 is a top plan view of a second embodiment of the invention.
  • FIG. 5 is a top plan view of the embodiment of FIG. 4 in open position, the opening being obtained by a ski pole which is partially shown; and I I FIGS. 6 and 7 are top plan views of third and fourth embodiments in accordance with the invention.
  • the ski boot toe portion 1 is retained on a ski 2 by a jaw 3 of a boot retaining safety assembly 4 pivotable on a fixed stud shaft 6 secured to a baseplate 7.
  • the assembly or housing 4 includes spring means to urge pivotable movement of the assembly into a closed position, shown in FIG. 1, retaining the ski boot on the ski.
  • Theassembly 4 is pivotable transversely of the ski boot 2 to open position, as shown in FIG'. 3, and against the action of the spring means when the ski boot exerts a lateral opening action on the binding.
  • the baseplate 7 is formed with a notch 8 fonning a bearing surface against which may be positioned the tip of a ski pole 9, said bearing surface cooperating with a bearing surface formed at the back of jaw 3 and spaced therefrom in the direction of the pivotal axis 6.
  • the bearing surface on the jaw 3 is engageable by a portion of the ski pole between the tip and the disc of said ski pole to cause safety opening of the binding, as shown in FIG. 3, and therefore release of the ski boot to remove the ski.
  • the ski boot I is retained on the ski 2 by ajaw 26 pivoted on a housing 27 which is mounted for rotation transversely of the ski boot on a stud shaft 28 secured to a baseplate 29.
  • the user For releasing the ski boot, the user inserts the tip of a ski pole 30 into a notch 31 of the base plate 29 and pivots the ski pole in the direction of arrow 32, to thereby produce the safety opening of the binding and therefore the release of the ski boot.
  • the boot retaining member 36 for retaining a ski boot I is pivotally mounted on a pivot 37 carried by the baseplate 38
  • This baseplate has two holes 39 disposed on each side of the boot retaining member 36.
  • the tip of a ski pole 40 can be inserted into one or the other of the holes 39, and when the ski pole is pivoted about its tip in the suitable direction, in the case illustrated in the direction of arrow 32, release of the safety locking means 41 of the binding is obtained and, consequently, release of the boot 1.
  • the improvement in accordance with the invention can be adapted in any manner and to any type of safety binding for skis and can allow opening of these bindings by any means without departing from the scope of the invention.
  • a front ski boot safety binding of the type including a baseplate and a ski boot toe retaining assembly pivotally mounted on said baseplate for movement transversely of a ski boot toe between a closed position retaining a ski boot on a ski and a laterally inclined open position for the safety release of said ski boot, said baseplate and said assembly providing cooperable abutment surfaces spaced from each other in the direction of the pivotal axis of said assembly and respectively engageable by two spaced portions of a pole or rod, whereby said pole or rod is used as a lever to cause safety opening of said assembly and thus release of said ski boot.
  • pole or rod is a ski pole and said spaced portions of the pole or rod are the tip of a ski pole and a portion of said ski pole intermediate said tip and the disc member of said ski pole.
  • said assembly includes a ski boot toe engaging jaw and a housing, said housing pivotally mounted on said baseplate and said jaw pivotally mounted on said housing, said cooperable abutment surfaces including a notch made in said baseplate and a surface portion at the back of said jaw.
  • said assembly includes a boot toe engaging jaw and a housing, said jaw pivotally mounted on said housing and the latter pivotally mounted on said baseplate, said abutment surfaces including a notch made in said baseplate and a surface of said housing opposite to said jaw with respect to the pivotal mounting of said housing on said baseplate.
