Definitions

  • a conventional release plate of a safety ski-binding is provided with a plurality of longitudinally spaced transverse bores.
  • a flexible heel locking member forming a loop around the heel of the ski-boot has its two ends at either side of said release plate provided with a locking bolt bent at right angles. The ends of the two locking bolts can be introduced from both sides into one or the other of said transverse bores in the release plate and are releasingly secured therein by means of bayonet union means.
  • the present invention relates to a longitudinally adjustable heel locking device on a ski-binding, wherein at both sides of the ski-binding an adjusting bolt is selectively insertable into one of a plurality of transverse bores provided in a release plate.
  • the selective insertion of the adjusting bolt in one of the transverse bores permits a rough longitudinal adjustment of the heel locking device, whilst the fine adjustment may be effected by a threaded sleeve screwed to the adjusting bolt.
  • skis for rent are concerned, since a rough adj ustment in length of the heel locking member is frequently made for adaptation to different boot sizes of the people who rent the skis, and should be carried out as quickly as possible. On the other hand, a side adjustment is less important in rented skis, so that this may be disregarded.
  • this heel locking device comprises a release plate provided with a plurality of longitudinally spaced, smooth walled transverse bores, a longitudinally adjustable heel locking member, said heel locking member including two adjusting bolts each disposed at one side of said release plate for engagement into one of said transverse bores, and bayonet union means on said adjusting bolts and transverse bores for releasingly securing said adjusting bolts in the transverse bores.
  • FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the heel locking device of a ski-binding according to the invention
  • F K]. 2 is a perspective view of an adjusting bolt in another position
  • F IG. 3 is a perspective view of a U-shaped additional plate.
  • a plate 2 is secured to the ski l in the region of the boot heel.
  • This plate is provided in its bottom face with a conical recess, not visible in the drawing, into which recess engages a conical extension (not shown) of the rear end of a release plate 3 constituting a component of a safety ski-binding known per se and forming no part of the invention.
  • the release plate 3 is provided in its rear portion with four continuous, smooth transverse bores 4. On both sides of the release plate 3, an are 5' of a rectangularly bent adjusting bolt 5 may be inserted into any of these bores 4.
  • the other arm 5 of the adjusting bolt 5 has screwed thereon a threaded sleeve 6 to which is fixed a heel locking member 7 known per se.
  • a locking pin 8 of a bayonet joint is located on the arm 5 of the adjusting bolt 5.
  • the notch 9 of this bayonet joint is formed on a side flange 10 of a U-shaped additional plate 10, whose middle portion is resting on the release plate 3.
  • a spacing member 11 is formed on each side of the additional plate 10, so that when the additional plate 10 is placed on the release plate 3, a gap 12 exists between the side parts 10: and the side face of the release plate 3. in which gap the locking pin 8 IS pivotally movable together with the bolt 5.
  • the additional plate 10 could also be constructed so that its center portion can be inserted beneath the release plate 3 and the side portions 10 are directed upwardly. Furthermore, the additional plate 10 may be so constructed that its side portions extend over all four transverse bores 4 and are provided with four bores having notches 9. Furthermore, instead of the side portions 10 provided with notches 9 located on a separate additional plate 10, the notched side portion 10 could be formed integral with the release plate.
  • a longitudinally adjustable heel locking device on a skibinding comprising a release plate provided with a plurality of longitudinally spaced, smooth walled transverse bores, a longitudinally adjustable heel locking member, said heel locking member including two adjusting bolts each disposed at one side of said release plate for engagement into one of said transverse bores, and bayonet union means onsaid adjusting bolts and transverse bores for releasingly securing said adjusting bolts in the transverse bores, said bayonet union means including a notch provided in -a side flange disposed in laterally spaced relation from the sidewall of said release plate, and a locking pin provided on said adjusting bolt of the heel locking member, said locking pin, in locking position of the heel locking member, being situated in the space between said side flange and the sidewall of said release plate.
  • a heel locking device in which said side flanges provided with a notch for the passage of said locking pin of the bayonet union means are formed on a U- shaped plate extending across said release plate.
  • a heel locking device in which said U-shaped plate is supported by said release plate to be longitudinally movable therealong, for bringing said notches on the side flanges of the U-shaped member into alignment with said transverse bores in the release plate.
  • a heel locking device in which said U-shaped plate is provided with spacing members to determine the width of said space between the side flanges of said -U-shaped plate and the associated wall of the release plate.
