Definitions

  • the ski boot engaging member may be in the form of a rigid or semi-rigid shell which engages the medial or inside lateral surface of the exterior of the ski boot and extends around the lateral outside surface of the heel to provide a portion of the necessary support for the skiers heel and ankle and thus allow the skier to wear a lighter, softer, more comfortable and inexpensive ski boot.
  • the ski boot engaging shell may be canted outward to provide improved control of the ski edges.
  • a heel block having a grooved pattern which mates with complementary grooves on the heel of the ski boot may be provided to afford increased control of the ski.
  • This invention relates to a safety ski binding, and, more particularly, to a safety ski binding having a novel release system which provides improved skiability and releasability characteristics.
  • Conventional safety ski bindings typically include a toe piece which engages the toe of the ski boot and is intended to release the boot in a lateral direction in response to a certain threshold force.
  • a mechanism is usually provided for adjusting the threshold force level required to release the ski boot from the toe piece.
  • some conventional safety ski bindings incorporate an anti-shock feature which is intended to prevent inadvertent release due to relatively brief lateral shock forces normally encountered in high-speed skiing conditions while allowing the binding to release in response to more sustained forces of the type that are encountered during a fall and which are dangerous to the skier.
  • ski bindings typically have one or more adjustable features, each having a range of adjustment which affects, to a greater or lesser degree, the threshold force level required to release the ski boot from the ski.
  • the mere fact that conventional ski bindings are typically adjustable into a dangerous range makes it a statistical certainty that some skiers will misadjust them and be injured as a result. This problem is aggravated by the fact that inadvertent releases are more likely to occur if the toe piece of the conventional ski binding is adjusted so that the threshold level of force required to release the binding is in from 30 to pounds.
  • a third factor which contributes to the lack of reliability of conventional safety ski bindings is the fact of compressive forces between the ski boot and the toe piece of the ski binding.
  • a potentially injuryproducing fall may be preceded or accompanied by sharp deceleration of the ski which causes the ski boot to be jammed against the toe piece of the binding by the momentum of the skier.
  • the resulting compressive forces tend to inhibit the toe piece from releasing the ski boot as intended to prevent injury to the skier.
  • This problem represents a serious design weakness of conventional safety ski bindings which cannot be readily overcome by minor improvements such as, for example, anti-friction devices.
  • lt is also an object of this invention to provide a safety ski binding incorporating the novel release mechanism the operation of which is not substantially effected by the compressive forces encountered in potentially in jurious falls.
  • the present invention provides a ski binding including a sole plate mountable on the upper surface of a ski, at least a portion of the sole plate being spaced apart from the upper surface of the ski; a ski boot engaging member including a release plate insertable between the sole plate and the upper surface of the ski to retain the ski boot engaging member on the ski; and one or more retaining members extending between the sole plate and the upper surface of the ski for engaging appropriate edge contours of the release plate to prevent the release plate from moving laterally or longitudinally with respect to the sole plate, but to permit the release plate to pivot about a point below the ankle of the skier to release the ski boot engaging member from the sole plate in response to a torque about the pivot point.
  • the ski boot engaging member may include a rigid or semirigid shell which engages a substantial portion of the medial surface of the ski boot and extends round to the lateral surface of the heel to provide additional support for the ski boot, thus enabling the skier to wear a soft lightweight boot.
  • the boot engaging shell may be canted outward to provide improved control of the ski, particularly the inside ski edge.
  • a heel block having a grooved pattern which mates with a complementary grooved pattern on the heel of the ski boot may be provided for increased edge control of the ski.
  • An advantage of the safety ski binding of the present invention is that it enables the skier to wear a soft lightweight boot without sacrificing edge control required for high performance skiing.
  • the light, soft boot provides greater safety for the skier in two respects.
  • the lighter, softer boot should reduce the incidence of injuries and the seriousness of injuries resulting from slow speed falls.
  • FIG. 1 is a side elevation view of a right ski binding according to the present invention.
  • FIG. 2 is a front elevation view of the ski binding shown in FIG. 1.
  • FIG. 3 is a bottom plan view of a right ski binding according to the present invention showing details of the release plate.
  • FIG. 4 is a top plan view of a right ski binding according to the present invention showing details of the release plate retaining members.
  • FIG. 5 is a top plan view of a right ski binding according to the present invention showing the release plate partially disengaged from the sole plate and the ski.
  • FIG. 6 is a perspective view, partially broken away, of the safety ski binding of the present invention showing details of the release plate, sole plate and retaining members.
  • FIG. 1 of the drawings there is shown a side elevation view of a ski boot 1 which is mounted on a ski 2 by means of a safety ski binding according to the present invention.
  • the ski binding includes a sole plate 3 which is mounted on the ski 2 by any suitable means, such as, for example, screws 4. At least a portion of the sole plate 3 is spaced above the upper surface of the ski 2 so as to allow the release plate 5 to be inserted between the sole plate 3 and the upper surface of ski 2.
  • Sole plate 3 is preferably made of a rigid material, such as, for example, steel, which is sufficiently strong to support the weight of the skier with appreciable deflection.
  • the release plate 5 is rigidly connected to a boot engaging shell 6 which is preferably made of a rigid or semi-rigid material such as, for example, polypropylene plastic, cellular vinyl, fiberglass, or the like.
  • the shell 6 engages substantially the entire inner, or medial, surface of the ski boot 1 and extends around the heel to engage the rear portion of the outer, or lateral, surface of the ski boot 1.
  • the rear contour 16 of shell 6 preferably slants forward as shown in FIG. 1 to help hold the heel of ski boot 1 down in firm contact with the heel block 17.
  • the heel enclosing portion 13 of shell 6 presses inward firmly against the heel of the ski boot I to prevent the heel from moving outward laterally with respect to ski 2.
  • the boot engaging shell 6 may be of uniform stiffness or rigidity, it is advantageous to provide a shell 6 having various rigidity properties in various areas.
  • the shell 6 should be most rigid or stiff in the region including the medial surface of the ankle down to the medial surface of the heel and around to the lateral surface of the heel in order to provide the maximum degree of edge control.
  • the shell 6 should be least rigid in the area of its forward edge 9 where the straps 7 and 8 are attached so that this portion of shell 6 will accommodate itself more readily to the contours of the ski boot 1.
  • Other areas of the shell 6 may be of intermediate rigidity.
  • the ski boot 1 is retained within shell 6 by straps 7 and 8 which are attached to the forward edge 9 of shell 6 by suitable means such as, for example, rivets 10 shown in FIG. 2.
  • the rearward end of strap 7 is provided with a ring 11 which cooperates with a buckle 12 mounted on the heel enclosing portion 13 of shell 6.
  • the rearward end of strap 8 is provided with a ring 14 which cooperates with buckle 15 mounted on heel enclosing portion 13.
  • the straps 7 and 8 are preferably made of heavy rubber or other elastic material to allow the ski boot to move forward somewhat or to twist in a clockwise direction with respect to ski 2 when subjected to a level of stress which might otherwise be injurious to the skier, thus providing an additional measure of safety. It will be appreciated, however, that straps 7 and 8 may be made of inelastic material if desired.
  • Buckles l2 and 15 may be of the type conventionally used on buckle ski boots and preferably have a number of teeth 16 (shown in FIG. 3) for engaging rings 11 and 14, respectively, so as to provide the desired tension on straps 7 and 8 to securely, but comfortably, retain the ski boot 1 within shell 6.
  • buckles l2 and 15 may be of a type which is designed to release automatically when subjected to a level of tension from straps 7 and 8 which might otherwise be injurious to the skier.
  • a heel block 17 is mounted on the ski 2 by suitable means such as adhesive cement or screws or the like, not shown.
  • Heel block 17, which supports the heel 18 of ski boot 1 may be an integral part of sole plate 3 or a separate element as desired.
  • the heel block 17 is provided with a groove pattern 19 which mates with a complementary groove pattern on the heel 18 of ski boot 1.
  • the groove pattern 19 is preferably primarily longitudinal in order to resist side to side movement of the heel of the ski boot relative to the ski and thus provide improved edge control for high performance skiing.
  • the semi-rigid shell 6 which engages the ski boot 1 provides support for the skiers heel and ankle and positively transmits the movements of the skiers ankle via release plate 5 to the ski 2 so as to provide the precise edge control needed for high performance skiing.
  • the shell 6 may be canted outward a few degrees, as shown in FIG. 3, to afford the skier improved control over the inside edge of his ski which is of great importance to good skiing technique. By improving the skiability of the binding, such canting of the boot engaging shell 6 provides an additional measure of safety. It will be appreciated that, if shell 6 is canted outward, sole plate 3 should be canted a corresponding amount as shown in FIG. 2. Alternatively, the sole of ski boot last 1 may be canted to correspond to shell 6.
  • the ski boot 1 may be more flexible, more comfortable, lighter and less expensive than the very stiff and expensive ski boots used with conventional safety ski bindings.
  • the ski boot 1 used in conjunction with the present ski binding may be similar to a conventional cross-country ski boot.
  • the relatively light flexible boots which are preferably used in connection with the ski binding of the present invention have certain advantages over conventional stiff heavy ski boots. For example, light flexible boots are more comfortable for walking when the skis are removed and provide an additional safety factor in that they would allow a lone skier who has lost a ski to walk a considerably longer distance to find shelter. Further, a skier using light, flexible boots should be somewhat less susceptible to injury resulting from slow speed falls and, ifinjury should occur, it would be likely to be less serious than the boot top fracture associated with high, stiff ski boots.
  • FIG. 3 of the drawings there is shown a plan of a right ski binding according to the present invention viewed from the bottom and showing the details of the release plate 5.
  • FIG. 4 is a plan of the right ski binding viewed from the top showing the sole plate 3, retaining members 21 and 22 and release plate 5 partially shown in phantom.
  • FIG. 5 is a plan of the right ski binding showing the release plate 5 partially pivoted toward the released condition with the sole plate 3 partially broken away to show the retaining members 21 and 22 and engaging the appropriate contoured edges of portion 5a of release plate 5.
  • FIG. 6 is a perspective view of the preferred form of right ski binding according to the present invention, with the sole plate 3 partially broken away to show the release plate 5 and retaining members 21 and 22.
  • the operation of the ski binding of the present invention can best be understood by considering FIGS. 3-6 together.
  • the release plate 5 is designed to pivot about a point 23 where the projection 24 of release plate 5 contacts the portion 25 of sole plate 3. More particularly, as viewed from the top (FIGS. 4 and 5), the release plate 5 pivots in a counterclockwise direction relative to sole plate 3 and ski 2 to release the ski boot engaging portion of the binding from the sole plate 3 and ski 2. As the counterclockwise pivoting action continues beyond the condition shown in FIG. 5, the ski boot engaging portion of the binding, including release plate 5, shell 6 and the ski boot 1 itself, will be completely freed from the ski 2. Under skiing conditions, such a release would occur in a fall in which the right ski tip is swept outward in the clockwise direction with respect to the relatively stationary right ski boot.
  • a left ski binding according to the present invention would release during a fall in which the left ski tip is swept outward in the counterclockwise direction with respect to the relatively stationary left ski boot, thus causing the release plate of the left ski binding to pivot in a clockwise direction with respect to the ski and the sole plate. It is estimated that approximately three-quarters of all skiing injuries are caused by faulty operation of conventional bindings in falls of this type.
  • the ski boot engaging portion of the present ski binding may be mounted on the ski 2 by pivoting the ski boot engaging shell 6 in a clockwise direction about a vertical axis extending through point 23 so as to insert the release plate 5 between the sole plate 3 and the upper surface of the ski 2. Normally, the ski boot engaging portion is mounted on the ski 2 before the ski boot 1 is fastened into the shell 6 by means of straps 7 and 8 and buckles l2 and 15.
  • the ski boot engaging portion of the present ski binding When the ski boot engaging portion of the present ski binding is properly aligned with the ski 2 as shown in FIGS. 3, 4 and 6, it is prevented from moving in the longitudinal and lateral directions by retaining members which engage the appropriate edge contours of release plate 5.
  • the release plate 5 is prevented from moving in the lateral direction by the retaining member 22, which may be a screw, for example, which engages the sides 26a and 26b of arcuate slot 26 in portion 5a of release plate 5.
  • Release plate 5 is additionally prevented from moving to the right by projection 24 of release plate 5 which engages the portion 25 of sole plate 3, and by the forward end 27 of release plate 5 which engages the side of sole plate 3.
  • Release plate 5 is prevented from moving forward by retaining member 21, which may also be a screw, for example, which engages the arcuate edge contour 28 of portion 5a of release plate 5. Rearward movement of release plate 5 is prevented by retaining member 22 which engages the end of slot 26.
  • edge contour 28 is in the form of a circular are having its center of curvature at the pivot point 23.
  • sides 26a and 26b of slot 26 are preferably circular arcs having their center of curvature at pivot point 23. it will be appreciated, however, that neither the entire length of edge contour 28 nor the entire length of sides 26a and 26b of slot 26 need be circular arcs having their centers of curvature at pivot point 23.
  • edge contours used in the ski binding of the present invention will be determined by the desired path of motion of the release plate relative to the sole plate as the ski boot engaging portion of the binding separates from the ski. Normally, only the portion of the edge contour involved in the initial pivoting action need be a circular are having its center of curvature at the pivot point 23.
  • the pivot point 23 is located over the inside (left) edge of the (right) ski just forward of the inside, or medial, ankle bone of the skier, the pivot point may be located elsewhere within the spirit and scope of the invention. Generally, however, the pivot axis should extend vertically through the neighborhood of the area of the skiers ankle bone.
  • the pivot point is simply determined by the center of curvature of the various edge contours of the release plate 5 which are engaged by the appropriate retaining members.
  • the present invention contemplates the placement of the pivot point at a distance from the back of the heel of the ski boot equal to about 30 to 45 percent of the length of the ski boot.
  • the release characteristics of the present ski binding are determined in part by the placement of the retaining member 21.
  • the retaining member 21 may be provided with a roller bearing for engaging arcuate edge contour 28 so as to provide a smoother release which is less subject to spurious friction effects.
  • the release characteristics of the present ski binding are also determined in part by the action of the forward portion 5b of release plate 5 which is urged upward against the sole plate 3 by a spring member 31.
  • the torque required to release the ski binding is determined by the frictional force between sole plate 3 and the forward portion 5b of release plate 5.
  • the frictional force is in turn determined by the upward force of spring 31 which may be made adjustable, if desired.
  • the frictional force on this forward portion 5b of release plate 5 may be fairly light. More significantly, the frictional force is constant and substantially unaffected by external forces so as to provide a consistent, predictable release.
  • the under surface of sole plate 3 is provided with a dimple 32a and the upper surface of portion 5b of release plate 5 is provided with a complementary bump 32b which cooperate to locate the release plate 5 in proper alignment with the sole plate 3.
  • ski binding in which each foot is releaseable in both the clockwise and counterclockwise directions.
  • a ski binding would include a ski boot engaging shell and release plate for each side of each ski boot. The sole plates would be spaced above the upper surfaces of the skis by a sufficient amount to allow the two release plates for each boot to overlap.
  • One release plate would provide for release in the clockwise direction and the other release plate would provide for release in the counterclockwise direction.
  • the inner boot would be released from between the two shells.
  • a ski binding for releasably retaining a ski boot on a ski, comprising:
