Definitions

  • a final type of known device intended for use in conjunction with a releasable safety binding, consists of a long cable wound on to a drum, a spring keeping the cable wound on to the drum; the cable comprises a connecting element designed to engage with a complementary connecting element attached to the boot, when the latter is held by the safety binding.
  • the boot separates from the ski but remains connected thereto by the cable unwinding from the drum against the action of the spring.
  • a device of this kind is heavy and takes up a considerable amount of space; it has many parts, especially rotating parts which may be frozen by snow or ice, which seriously affects their operation.
  • the connecting element be resilient and consist of at least one cable, one end of which is attached to one of the two engaging sections, while the other end is mounted movably in the other section,
  • the complementary system according to the invention makes it possible to overcome this disadvantage in a simple way by arranging that the restoring force be increased, just prior to the engagement, in order to facilitate the said engagement, this increase being produced not by acting upon the tension of the spring, but by the hinged element which may consist of a device attached both to the cable and to the restoring spring and capable of sudden movement to produce a change in the lever arm by means of which the spring acts upon the cable.
  • One end of a cable 25 is sealed into male profile 20 and passed through an opening 26 in the centering block and through a passage 27 designed to allow head 28 of the cable to slide freely therein.
  • the part of the cable in passage 27 is surrounded by a spring 29, one end of which rests against head 28 while the other end rests against the bottom of the passage. It is desirable that the front end of the passage open towards the out side in order to provide access to the cable; a cover 30, attached by screws for example, is provided to prevent the entry of snow or foreign bodies. It will be noted that in the position shown in FIG. 1, spring 29 still exerts tension on cable 25.
  • said connecting element is a cable one end of said cable being attached in the hollow profile in the centering block, said cable passing slidingly through the projecting profile in the plate in which its other end is subjected to the action of a resilient element.
  • a device for maintaining and centering boot means in a specific position on a ski said device being arranged to cooperate with one extremity of the boot means, the other extremity of the boot means being locked by a resilient releasable safety binding member mounted in a housing fixed on the ski, said binding member insuring the release of said boot means upon occurrence of a predetermined force on the boot means, said device comprising: a centering block intregally attached to the ski and having an engagement profile receiving a complementary engagement profile on said boot means; the penetration distance of one profile into the other profile being greater than the distance, in the plane of the ski, separating the housing of said binding member from said boot means adjacent said binding member so that safety releases first take place at the binding member.
  • both-profiles diverge, in a plane perpendicular to the plane of the ski and parallel to the longitudinal axis of the ski, from a point situated forward of the front end of the boot means in a direction towards therear end of the boot means.
  • a device for connecting a boot to a ski and for restoring the boot to a specific position on the ski where it may be locked by a releasable safety binding said device comprising: at least one cable extending between two parts including the boot and one member fixed to the ski, one of the ends of the cable being fixedly secured in one of said two parts, the other end being slidably received in the other part; said cable being tensioned between said ends thereof in a substantially straight line substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis of the ski; and resilient means for tensioning said cable said resilent means disposedbetween the slidable end of said cable and a bearing point for said resilient means provided on said part in which the slidable end of the cable is received, said bearing point being substantially alined with said cable.
