Definitions

  • the present invention relates to ski bindings of the toe binding type and more particularly such bindings which include a'preferably bail-shaped clamping member which at the rear is pivoted in the toeiron lugs, and which can be pressed resiliently against the upper face of the sole rim for keeping the boot in position and in the position of use is connected to fixed means on the ski in front of the tip of the boot by a pivoted and releasable connecting link.
  • the releasable connecting link is formed as a keeping hook having adjustment notches for engaging the clamping bail and pivotally mounted in bearing means located in a fixed position on the ski either by being attached with one or two separate screws or by being formed as an extension of the toe
  • FIG. 1 is a top view of the binding in one embodiment in mounted position on a-ski;
  • FIG. 2 shows the same binding in vertical longitudinal section
  • FIGS. 3 and 4 are top and lateral views, respectively, of the toe iron of the same binding and the appurtenant fixed means to be engaged by the connecting link;
  • FIG. Si Sis a bottom view of the front portion of the bail with the connecting link mounted thereon;
  • FIG. 6 is a view in vertical longitudinal section of the toe iron of the binding in another embodiment.
  • FIG. 7 is a top view of the front part of the'toe iron in FIG. 6.
  • the binding includes in the usual manner a clamping bail 1 pivotally mounted in the toe iron lugs 2, which at the front have extensions in the form of flanges 3 extending along the front edge of the base plate 4 and further-forwards on either side of a central extension 5 of the latter.
  • the toe iron is attached to the ski 6 with two screws 7 at the rear in the base plate 4 and one screw 8 which passes through a hole in the extension 5 and at the same time serves to attach a keeper member 9 shaped for fitting in between the flanges 3 at the front and having rearwardly facing shoulders 10 which engage the front edges of these flanges.
  • extension 5 of the toe iron is further extended in front of these edges in the form of a tongue 11 which engages a corresponding groove 12 in the member 9 and protects the same from being bent upwards after being attached.
  • the keeper member9 is formed with notches 13 for adjustable engagement with the connecting link 14, which is shown in the FIGS. 1, 2 and 5.
  • This connectinglink 14 is made of a piece of sheet metal which in one end portion is curved downwards and further rearwards so as to form a hook for selectively engaging a notch in the member 9, and is pivotally mounted on the upper side of the straight bight portion 15 of the bail 1 by means of a sheet metal fitting 16 attached by a rivet 18 to the bottom side of the end portion 17 of the link 14 far from the hook.
  • the link 14 is mounted for pivotal motion around the bight portion in the longitudinal vertical plane of the binding.
  • the fitting 16 consists of resilient metal and is at the rear formed with two branches 19 extending to either side and engaging the upper face of the legs of the bail 1 so as to subject the link 14 to a spring bias towards its engaging position.
  • the member 14 with the fitting 16 will act as a two armed lever, the sloping plane action on the hook and the resilient branches 19 acting in opposite directions, whereas on the other hand it is possible by exerting a pressure on the portion 17 to disengage the hook against the action of the resilient branches 19.
  • the member 9 is removed and the base plate 4' has a usual screw hole 8 placed centrally approximately at the front edge of thesole of the boot.
  • the connecting link which may be shaped and arranged like in the embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 to 5
  • the flanges 3 on either side of the extension of the toe iron are each formed with a vertical row of adjustment notches 13, so as together to form a keeper means 9 with a function corresponding to that of the member 9 in FIGS. 1 to 4.
  • the invention is, of course, applicable with a keeper member attached to the ski independentlyof the toe iron, and in embodiments with clamping bail the connecting link 14 does not necessarily have to be mounted on the bight portion of the bail, but may also be supported on some other portion, for example on a cross-bar similar to that shown in applicants patent application Ser. No. 109,222 now US. Pat. No. 3,715,127.
  • a ski binding of the toe binding type for properly positioning a boot comprising: clamping means having a configuration to engage the sole rim of said boot about the toe portion thereof; a toe iron; said clamping means with a rear segment pivotally mounted on said toe iron for pivotal movement; fixed means connected 'to said ski forwardly of the toe portion; releasable means pivoted on said clamping means for releasably engaging said fixed means; wherein said releasable means is formed as a lever having at one end a generally downwardly projecting arm forming a hook to engage said fixed means and at the opposite end an arm that is generally horizontal so as to be accessible from above and is pressed downwardly for releasing said hook from engagement with said fixed means.
  • ski binding as defined in claim 1 further comprising: spring-loaded means biasing said releasable 4 means for engagement with said fixed means.
  • ski binding as defined in claim 3 wherein said releasable means is mounted on a transverse portion of said clamping means and said hook has a portion that faces backwards towards the toe portion and is capable of engaging said fixed means.
  • fixed means has forwardly facing teeth to engage said V releasable means.
