Definitions

  • ABSTRACT Quick-release heel hold-down device for ski binding comprising a heel retaining jaw pivotally mounted on a fixed base member and responsive to the force of a spring constantly urging said jaw upwards to its release position.
  • the resilient return means comprise a springloaded piston adapted to hold said jaw in its lower or operative position, and a pivoting member engaging on the one hand said pivoting jaw and on the other hand said piston of said resilient return means.
  • Said pivoting member comprises a control edge in bearing engagement with the operative face of said springloaded piston of said resilient return means, said last-mentioned means acting through said control edge for constantly urging said pivoting member in the direction of rotation corresponding, to the closing of said jaw.
  • Said pivoting member has two end stable positions corresponding the one to the jaw opening position and the other to the jaw closing position, and said jaw comprises a control lug co-acting with said pivoting member in order to produce a self-locking action against the pressure force developed by said resilient return means in the end position corresponding to the open jaw position.
  • the present invention relates in general to ski bind ings and has specific reference to a heel hold-down device therefor, and more particularly to a quick-release device of this character.
  • This ski binding heel holdldown device is of the type wherein a heel retaining jawis pivotally mounted to a base member adapted to be secured to the ski, resilient means constantly urging said jaw to its normal heelhold down position while permitting the lifting thereof in case a considerable stretching effort where exerted on the skiers leg.
  • Said resilient means comprise a spring-loaded piston consantly urging said jaw to its lower or operative position through a member pivotally mounted in said base.
  • This pivoting member engages on the one hand the heel hold-down jaw and on the otherhand reacts against the piston of said resilient means.
  • the arrangement is such that for each movement of said pivoting member away from its endmost position corresponding to the lower or operative position of the jaw a return torque takes place along a considerable pivoting stroke.
  • the pivoting member comprises a cam disposed against the piston of said resilient means and having a contour so designed that a return torque of great amplitude is created during the pivoting movement of this H member in relation to the piston.
  • difficulties are encountered for determining the end positions of the movable members, notably the position producing the upward movement of the retaining jaw and wherein the heel hold-down device is open to permit the reinsertion of the corresponding ski boot.
  • holding the retaining jaw in this specific position is of primary of said cam contour; whereby the pivoting member can transmit anelastic return torque to said jaw during a relatively long pivoting movement or stroke.
  • this member has pivoted beyond its position in which the return torque is zero, said stud is caused to leave said'cam notch for engaging a stop under the force of a spring acting on said jaw.
  • This heel hold-down device is also so designed that its jaw can accomplish a considerable release stroke during which the resilient means produce a relatively considerable return torque.
  • this heel hold-down device is also such that even in the upper or release position of said j'aw the return torque exerted by said resilient means remains effective whereby said means can return the jaw to its lower or operative position after a simple control movement, without having to exert a relatively high external stress.
  • the heel hold-down device is characterised essentially in that the pivoting member comprises a control edge bearing against the piston face of the resilient means, said means constantly acting through said edge against said pivoting member in the direction of rotation corresponding to the locking of the device, in that said pivoting member has two stable end positions corresponding to the opening and closing of said jaw, respectively, and that said jaw comprises a control member co-acting with said pivoting member in order to produce, in the end position corresponding to the open or release position of said jaw, a self-locking action against the pressure force constantly exerted by said resilient means.
  • the resilient return means control by itself the return or closing movement of the heel hold-down device.
  • this control movement may be obtained by a simple contact between the heel of the ski boot and a lug or resetting pedal prov-idedon the jaw.
  • the edge controlling the pivoting member extends between two control surfaces of which at least one determines an end position of this member bearing against the piston of the resilient return means, and the control member provided on the retaining jaw proper has a bearing contour engaging, in the open position of the device, said pivoting member in order to produce a self-locking action thereagainst.
  • one of said control surfaces intended for hearing against the piston of the resilient return means has not only the function of determining the end position of the relevantpivoting member which corresponds to the closing of said heel hold-down device, but also the function of acting as a bearing surface to the locking member carried by the retaining jaw when this pivoting member is in its other end position corresponding to the opening or release of said device. This self-locking position will thus determine at the same time the other stable end position of the pivoting member.
  • each control surface adapted to en gage the piston of the resilient return means determines one and the other of said end angular positions of said pivoting member, and another control surface is provided on the periphery of this pivoting member for constituting the bearing surface engageable by the locking member carried by the retaining jaw in the self-locking position with said pivoting member.
  • the self-locking action may be applied to the movable members in the open position of the heel holddown device by properly shaping the third control surface of the pivoting member and/or suitably shaping the locking member carried by the retaining jaw, by taking due account of the geometrical position of the transverse pins for properly arranging the pivoting member and the jaw in relation to each other. Therefore, a certain freedom is allowed for the practical embodiment of the invention.
  • the intermediate pivoting member consists of a prismatic body having in cross-section the shape of an irregular trapezoidal polygon of which the minor base acts as a control surface for determining the end position corresponding to the downward movement of the jaw, the non-parallel sides of said polygon acting the one as a control surface corresponding to the other end position of this member and as a bearing surface for the control lug or projection or relief portion carried by said jaw, respectively, the control edge of said member which co-acts with the piston of the resilient means being constituted by the edge of the prismatic body which lies between the two control surfaces corresponding to its end positions.
  • the latter comprises a control lever pivotally mounted to a pin disposed coaxially to the pivot pin of the pivoting member, said lever being rotatably solid with said pivoting member at least in the direction corresponding to the upward or release movement of the jaw.
  • FIG. I is a vertical section showing a first form of embodiment of the heel hold-down device illustrated in its closed or hold-down position;
  • FIG. 2 is a similar view showing the device in its open or release position
  • FIG. 3 is a diagrammatic view showing the main component elements of the device according to a second form of embodiment thereof;
  • FIG. 4 is a vertical section showing still another form of embodiment of the device.
  • FIG. is a vertical section showing a modified form of embodiment of the device illustrated in FIGS. 1 and 2, and
  • FIGS. 6 and 7 are sectional views of another modified form of embodiment.
  • the heel hold-down device for ski binding comprises a base plate 1 adapted to be secured to the top surface of a ski.
  • This base plate acts as a slideway for guiding a plate 2 supporting the body or base member 3 of the device of this invention.
  • the plate 2 At its front end, the plate 2 carries small block 4 adapted to support the heel ofa ski boot when the latter has been properly positioned on the ski.
  • the plate 2 is adapted'to slide longitudinally with said body 3. Now the latter comprises in a manner known per se means for adjusting its longitudinal position.
  • This system compirses generally a rotary bolt 6 rigid with a worm 7 meshing with a rack 5 formed on top of the fixed plate 2.
  • the bolt 6 is adapted to slide and rotate in the body 3. As to the worm 7, it is fitted in a cavity 9 formed in this body 3 and this cavity 9 also encloses a compression spring 8 constantly urging the bolt 6 backwards.
  • the heel hold-down device Due to the meshing engagement between the worm 7 and the rack 5, when the bolt 6 is rotated it causes a longitudinal translation of the complete heel holddown device in one or the other direction in relation to the plate 1 rigid with the ski. However, due to the sliding mounting of the worm 6 in the-body 3, the heel hold-down device can recede resiliently towards the rear end of the ski through a few millimeters against the force of spring 8 if an excessive stress were exerted on the device in this direction.
  • the body 3 of the device is obtained preferably by casting and comprises at its front end a central recess 10 facing forwards. This recess is bound by a pair of parallel side walls 11 and by a slightly inclined rear wall 12.
  • the side walls 11 carry a first horizontal pivot pin 13 extending transversely and substantially level with the upper edge of the heel of a ski boot.
  • the function of this pivot pin 13 is to act as a support to a pivoting jaw 14 adapted to engage the top of the rear portion of the heel of the corresponding ski boot.
  • This jaw 14 comprises a lower extension 15 formed with a lug 16 adapted to be' used as a resetting pedal.
  • a torsion or spiral spring 17 surrounding the pivot pin 17 constantly urges the jaw 14 to its raised position shown in FIG. 2.
  • the jaw 14 is also formed with an integral rear control lug l8 projecting within the recess 10 and adapted to co-act with an intermediate pivoting member 19 disposed between the retaining jaw 14 and the elastic return means incorporated in the device.
  • This pivoting member 19 is in fact pivotally mounted about another horizontal pin 20 also disposed transversely between the two side walls 11 of recess 10, and somewhat spaced from, and at a lower level than, the first pivot pin 13.
  • the resilient return means contemplated in this device comprise a piston 21 adapted to engage said intermediate pivoting member 19 and urged by one end of a coil compression spring 22.
  • This spring 22 is housed in a bore 23 formed in said body 3 and slidably engaged by said piston 20.
  • the other end of spring 22 reacts against a screw plug 24 engaged in the tapped rear end of said body 3; by rotating this plug in one or the other direction it is possible to-adjust the initial stress of spring 22.
  • the plug 24 carries a small plate 25 provided with reference marks on its outer surface.
  • This plate 25 slidably mounted in a recess 26 formed to this end in said body 3 is of course prevented from rotating in relation thereto. Under these conditions, the small reference plate 25 is simply anchored to the plug 24 soas to move bodily therewith while permitting its rotation.
  • the value of the adjustment of spring 22 is displayed by the reference mark appearing flush to the outer edge of recess 26.
  • the pivoting member 19 engaged by the spring loaded piston 21 consists of a prismatic body having in longitudinal section (i.e. substantially as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2) the general configuration of an irregular trapezium. This member 19 extends substantially throughout the width of the recess 10.
  • the minor base 27 of this prismatic member constitutes a control surface engageable by piston 21 when the heel-retaining jaw 14 is in its lower or operative position (see FIG. 1
  • This prismatic member constitutes another control surface engageable' by piston 21 when the jaw 14 is in its upper or release position (FIG. 2).
  • the edge 29 separating these two control surfaces acts as a control edge coacting with the piston 21 when the 'member 19 is pivoted as a consequence of the upward movement of jaw 14 in order to generate an elastic return torque urging this member to its initial position shown in FIG. 1.
  • a control lever 31 is provided.
  • this lever is a U-shaped member having its two side arms or branches disposed on either side of the body.3. The rearor outer ends of these arms are interconnected by a distance-piece 32 formed with an aperture 33 through which a safety belt may be inserted.
  • the two arms of lever 31 are interconnected by a pair of horizontal or transverse rods or bolts 34 extending through the pivoting member 19 and also through a pair of arcuated slots 35 formed in the side walls 11 of the aforesaid recess concentrically to the pivot pin 20.
  • the piston 21 of the resilient means is urged by spring 22 against the control surface 27 of pivoting member 19 and also against the edge 29, in order to hold this member 19 in a first stable end position corresponding to the lower and operative position of jaw 14.
  • the torsion spring 17 constantlyurges the control member 18 ofjaw 14 for bearing engagementwith the control surface 30 of pivoting member 19. In this position these two members co-act at a contact point somewhat spaced from the first transverse pivot pin 13. Under these conditions, the jaw is kept in its lower or operative position.
  • the jaw control lug 18 will thus cause the pivoting member 19 to rotate in the direction of the arrow F against the pressureexerted by piston 21 on the control surface 27.
  • this member 19 begins to rothe force! is applied only during a relatively short time, for example as a consequence of a shock.
  • This action may be obtained for example by simply causing the underface of the ski boot heel to engage the resetting pedal 16.
  • the control lug 18 is released from its locking action exerted against the pivoting member 19, the pressure exerted by piston 21 thereagainst causes the pivoting member 19 to pivot in the direction of the arrow F so as to restore this member in its first stable end position shown in FIG. 1.
  • the pivoting member 19 actuates the jaw control lug 18 in order to restore the latter to its lower, operative position. Consequently, the return of the jaw 14 to its operative position is obtained without exerting any closing effort, in contrast to the mode of operation of other known heel hold-down devices.
  • heel hold-down device of this invention permits a relatively long heel release stroke or movement with only a relatively short stroke of spring 22.
  • the device of this invention may be opened manually by lifting the lever 31 in the direction of the arrow F. In fact, this movement causes the lever to pivot about the pivot pin 20 and therefore the rotation of pivoting member 19 and the latter permits the upward movement of jaw 14 due to the force of spiral spring 17 until the jaw is in its uppermost position in which a selflocking action takes place'between its control lug 18 and the pivoting member 19..
  • FIG. 3 illustrates diagrammatically the relative positions of the essential component elements of the device in a modified form of embodiment of the device of this invention.
  • the crosssectional configuration of the pivoting member 19a differs and the arrangement is such that the control surface 27a engaged by piston 21a in the closed or operative position of the heel hold-down device acts at the same time as a bearing surface to the control lug 18a carried by the pivoting jaw 14a.
  • the end portion 36a of said control lug engages the control surface 27a as shown in dashand-dot lines in FIG. 3, so as to produce the selflocking of the intermediate pivoting member 190.
  • the pivoting member 19a is locked against movement in its second stable end position by said control lug 18a, this second position corresponding to the upper position of said jaw although the pivoting member 19a is still responsive to the pressure of piston 21a.
  • the self-locking action produced in the second end stable position of pivoting member 19 or 190 may also be obtained by properly arranging the transverse pivot pins 13 and 20 with respect to each other and/or selecting a suitable contour for the bearing areas between the pivoting member 19 or 190 and the control lug 18 or 18a carried by said jaw.
  • FIG. 4 illustrates a third form of embodiment of the present invention wherein the general structure is substantially unchanged, so that the same reference numerals completed by the letter 12 are used for designating similar or equivalent elements of the device.
  • the device shown in FIG. 4 differs from that of FIGS. 1 and 2 by the fact that the manual release lever 31b is mounted for free rotation about the pivot pin 20b.
  • lever 31b In an eccentric position in relation to this pin 2012 the two side arms of lever 31b are interconnected by a single horizontal bolt 34b engaging an arcuate aperture 35/) formed in the side walls 11 and concentric to said pivot pin 20)).
  • This bolt engages freely the pivoting member 1912 in the closed position of the heel holddown device.
  • a spring (not shown), for example a spring wound about the pin 20b, constantly urges the lever 31b to its normal lower position, i.e., parallel to the ski.
