Definitions

  • ABSTRACT A ski boot wherein the toe portion and the heel portion of the ski boot sole which is essentially of a rigid or stiff construction are formed of elastically compressible material.
  • the invention further contemplates employing the ski boot as part of a releasable ski binding wherein connection elements which cooperate with one another until exceeding a boundary load have a part thereof arranged at the ski and another part thereof within the ski boot sole.
  • the connection elements are arranged at the region of the rigid intermediate or central portion of the sole of the ski boot and cooperate with one another through the region of the walking or tread surface of the ski boot sole.
  • the present invention relates to a new and improved construction of ski boot manifested by the features that the toe portion and the heel portion of the ski boot sole which is essentially of a rigid or stiff construction are each formed of an elastically compressible material.
  • the invention further relates to the use of the aforementioned ski boot as part of a releasable ski binding, commonly referred to in this particular art as a safety ski binding, wherein connection elements which cooperate with one another until exceeding a boundary load have a part thereof arranged at the ski and another part within the ski boot sole.
  • the connection elements are arranged at the region of the rigid intermediate or central portion of the ski boot sole and cooperate with one another through the walking or tread surface of the sole of the ski boot.
  • spherical-shaped anchoring elements instead of using spherical-shaped anchoring elements there can be also employed those designed in the form of cams and provided with impact noses which engage behind holding noses of holding components movable in the lengthwise direction of the ski and, if desired, themselves subjected to a pre-bias, In each case, the an choring elements extend outwardly from the sides of the ski boot sole.
  • such type apparatus is unable to satisfy existing requirements, not only because of the presence of the protruding anchoring elements, but also owing to frequent disturbances which arise during the release action.
  • such type equipment especially when skiing in uneven terrain during which the ski tends to flutter, there exists the danger of undesired or premature release of the equipment.
  • Still a further object of the present invention relates to an improved construction of ski boot serving as part of a safety ski binding while avoiding the aforementioned drawbacks of the prior art constructions.
  • Another object of this invention relates to a new and improved construction of ski boot which can be employed as part of a safety or releasable ski binding for releasably connecting the ski boot with a ski and wherein the appearance of the ski. boot reveals as little as possible that it is equipped with components of a safety ski binding.
  • a further object of the present invention is to overcome as extensively as possible the type of disturbances indicated above which are present with the prior art constructions.
  • a further significant object of the present invention is to provide a ski boot construction which can be employed as part of a safety ski binding and which is designed to avoid that any components of the release mechanism of the safety ski binding protrude from the ski boot, since otherwise the danger would exist that upon impacting same with hard objects such could be come damaged, and thus when placed into their operable condition no longer carry out reliable release of the ski boot from the ski at the instant when there arises load conditions to which the release mechanism should be responsive.
  • the ski boot sole serves as a treading or walking surface components of the release mechanism which are arranged beneath the ski boot sole normally are not subjected to any damage during walking provided that the support of the ski boot does not just happen to impact at the relevant location against a sharp and hard object. However, even such danger of damage can be effectively safeguarded against by carrying out a special construction and arrangement of the correspond ing components of the release mechanism arranged at the ski boot sole.
  • the inventive teachings can be also realized in that the holding components are constructed and used as blocking bodies and the anchoring elements as locking elements. Accordingly, the actual release mechanism can be mounted either directly at the ski or, however, installed at the ski boot sole.
  • An advantage of the invention also resides in the fact that certain basic adjustments can be more or less standardized and need no longer be adjusted from case to case as a function of the size of the ski boot or sole.
  • it is particularly advantageous to install the actual release mechanism in the ski boot sole so that the skier, during shifting his weight from one ski to the other, always experiences the same release conditions when the relevant skis possess the same holding components and anchoring elements and in the same spatial arrangement.
  • the release mechanism can be also provided with permanent magnets which retain the blocking bodies in their position or respectively at the locking elements.
  • Permanent magnets serving for securing ski boots to the ski are already known to the art, as evidenced for instance by Swiss Patent No. 321,915 and US Pat. No. 2,276,826. In this regard it is also recommended to employ exchangeable permanent magnets, so that in each instance, as a function of the desired boundary loads, different strength permanent magnets can be utilized. The effectiveness of permanent magnets becomes particularly great if there is employed as the locking elements ferromagnetic plates.
  • ski boot should be designed as rigidly as possible at the parts cooperating with the release mechanism, as such is anyway the case for the present most extensively employed ski boots.
  • the holding components and the anchoring elements no longer engage at the front and rear of the ski boot sole
  • One advantage of such measure resides in the fact that the skier can walk much better with the ski boots when not attached to the skis than if the ski boot heel portion is completely rigid as was previously the case.
  • the release mechanism effective between the lower sole portion and the ski and to ensure that the lower sole portion possesses at the rear a receiving mechanism, in particular a type of gaiter in which there can be guidingly inserted the ski boot upper.
  • gaiter also improves striding or stepping out during skiing, especially if such are articulated to the sides of the lower sole portion and pivotable about a pivot axis extending approximately transverse to the axis of the sole.
  • FIG. 1 is a vertical fragmentary sectional view through a ski boot containing an integrated releasable or safety ski binding designed according to the teachings of the present invention
  • FIG. 2 is a horizontal cross-sectional view through a slightly modified embodiment of ski boot from that depicted in FIG. 1;
  • FIG. 3 is a vertical fragmentary sectional view through a variant construction of ski boot from that shown in FIG. I and which depicts a kinematic reversal of the components depicted in FIG. 1;
  • FIG. 4 is a vertical view, partly in section, through a further embodiment of the invention employing magnetically effective holding components
  • FIG. 5 is a top view of part of the construction depicted in FIG. 4;
  • FIG. 6 illustrates a vertical sectional view of a double-sole ski boot designed according to the teachings of the present invention
  • FIG. 7 schematically illustrates details of the arrangement of FIG. 6 and specifically only the ski boot with the receiving device in two different travelling or walking positions;
  • FIG. 8 is a schematic fragmentary front view and a partial sectional view through a different embodiment of the invention.
  • holding members or parts la and lb are connected through the agency of suitable fastening means, such as screws 50 with the ski 1.
  • These holding members la and lb are provided with approximately vertically upstanding locking elements It having recesses le with which partially engage spherical-shaped or conicalshaped blocking or arresting bodies 2 in a locking position for retaining the ski boot B at the ski I.
  • the blocking bodies 2 are of sub stantially conical-shaped configuration, whereas in the modified version of FIG. 2 to be discussed shortly hereinafter these blocking bodies 2 are in the form of spherical-shaped members or balls.
  • the blocking bodies or body members 2 are pre-biased by resilient means, such as helical springs 3 which, in turn, are appropriately adjustable by means of an adjustment device 4 as concerns their tensioning or clamping force.
  • the adjustment device 4 is. accessible from the underface of the sole 5 of the ski boot B, yet is advantageously rearwardly inset from the underside or walking or tread surface of the boot sole 5 to such an extent that during walking there is practically not possible any automatic unintentional readjustment of such adjustment device 4.
  • the sole 5 of the ski boot B is provided at the toe portion 6a and the heel portion 6 b with soft elastic compressible portions or sections 6 formed, for instance, from soft rubber or soft plastic.
  • These soft elastic compressible portions 6 define the terminal or end portions of the ski boot sole 5, the intermediate or central portion 6c of which ski boot sole 5 is formed of any suitable conventional rigid sole material, such as a rigid plastic.
  • the ski boot sole 5 comprises an essentially plate-shaped rigid support portion which at the region of the toe portion 6a and the heel portion 6b of the ski boot B upwardly tapers to define respective wedge-shaped portions 6d.
  • a further advantage realized by virtue of the previously described arrangement is that, assuming a fall of the skier towards the front, the elastically compressible material 6e at the toe portion 6a of the ski boot B is initially compressed, with the result that the locking element 1c and blocking element 2 at the region of the toe portion of the boot acts as a pivot for the other intercooperating locking element 1c and blocking element 2 at the rear'of the boot.
  • the lever arm decisive for vertical release of the binding which extends between the front and rear locking and blocking elements just considered remains constant so that the binding need not be adjusted as a function of the size of the boot. Also as previously explained this lever arm is shorter than would be otherwise the case if the elastically compressible material were not provided.
  • ski boot sole 5 is provided with a sufficiently hard and wearresistant material at least at the region of the locking elements Id in the event that such are not designed as additional elements and inserted into the ski boot sole 5.
  • the stepping-out or removal of the ski boot B from the ski 1 is simplified in that the release mechanism can be disengaged at least at one side, here for instance at the front side, in that for example a ski pole tip 7 can be pressed against a release element 8 accessible from externally of the ski boot B.
  • the parts of the binding arranged at the ski according to the embodiment of FIGS. l-3 can be adhesively bonded with the ski l in the event that a threadable connection is not desired.
  • the adjustment mechanism 4 accessible according to the embodiment of FIG. 3 from the top of the ski l is provided with a cam nut member 10 or equivalent device mounted between two bearing or holding jaws 11, so that as a function of the position of the cam member 10 or a suitable cam disk relative to a scale 12 the spac' ing of both holding jaws 11 and thus the pre-bias of the blocking bodies 2 can be desirably altered.
  • a similar type adjustment mechanism 4, although arranged at the ski boot sole, has been shown in the embodiment of FIG. 2.
  • the permanent magnet 12 for instance, consists of an approximately flat, substantially U-shaped unit, in the intermediate space of which there can be inserted the additional small plate-shaped permanent magnets 12a.
  • the permanent magnet 12 and the permanent magnets 12a can be threadably disconnected or exchanged by others.
  • Each leg of the permanent magnet 12 possesses, for instance, a holding force of 35 kilograms, the outer ones of the three plate-shaped permanent magnets 12a possess a holding force of, for instance, kilograms and the intermediate plate-shaped holding magnet 12a a holding force of, for instance, 15 kilograms. While the permanent magnet 12 is directly threadably connected to the ski l the plate-shaped permanent magnets 12a are threadably connected through the U-shaped permanent magnet 12 as indicated by the screws 12b.
  • This permanent magnet 12 possesses at each of its free external sides two approximately semispherical-shaped recesses 13 designed as locking elements for approximately semispherical-shaped raised portions serving as blocking bodies 14 located at the underside of a ferromagnetic plate 15 which forms the upper boundary of a hollow compartment 16 located at the ski boot sole 5.
  • the permanent magnets 12 and 12a and the ferromagnetic plate 15 function as a release mechanism and the locking elements 13 and blocking body members 14 serve as adjustment aids.
  • the ferromagnetic plate 15 is, for instance, formed as a thin steel plate.
  • the release mechanism 17 which is partially mounted at the ski 1, and which here has only been schematically indicated, engages in a hollow portion at the lower sole part 5a.
  • This is designed such that the upper, extensively thinner and also elastically flexible sole part 512 can be pushed at the front into a recess I8 and at the rear can be fixedly clamped by means of a gaiter 19 serving as a receiving device or mechanism.
  • This gaiter 19 is hingedly connected at both sides by screws 20, which also can be designed as continuous threaded bolts, with the lower sole portion 5a, so that the gaiter 19 can be pivoted about this horizontally extending pivot axis, as particularly well seen by referring to FIG. 7.
  • screws 20 also can be designed as continuous threaded bolts
  • a pair of permanent magnets 20 and an additional exchangeable permanent magnet 20a are threadably connected by the screws 50 or otherwise suitably exchangeably secured to the ski 1. Additionally, there is located at the top of the ski a hinge arrangement 21a with a hinge joint 21, this hinge arrangement being operatively connected through the agency of a lever 22 having a further hinge joint'23 with a rotatable or pivotal plate 24 which can be inserted from below into the lower sole portion 5a.
  • the lower sole portion 5a is additionally provided at the underside with a ferromagnetic plate 25, the cam-shaped raised portions 26a of which serving as blocking bodies 26 can be inserted into suitable recesses 27a of the permanent magnets 20 serving as locking elements 27 when the lower sole portion 5a is placed against the permanent magnets 20 and 20a respectively.
  • the lower sole portion 5a is provided with a receiving device or mechanism by means of which the upper sole portion 5b can be connected with the lower sole portion 5a.
  • This receiving device has only been schematically illustrated, but will be understood to comprise a clamping bracket or release lever 28, a cable traction means 29 and an adjustment mechanism 30 and defines a frame-like structure into which there can be inserted the upper sole portion 5b.
  • the skier wishes to step out of the ski 1 then it is only necessary to rearwardly and downwardly press the release lever or bracket 28, so that such skier can climbout of the frame-shaped structure by means of the boot upper and the upper sole portion b, and therefore, can step out of the lower sole portion 5a which remains attached with the ski 1 via the previously mentioned components.
  • the ski boot B is thus considerably less heavy since it need only comprise a relatively thin and therefore also light sole. Nonetheless there is ensured that in the clamped position there is afforded a fixed connection betweenthe ski boot B and the ski 1 although such boot raises from the ski l and the permanent magnets and 20a and falls forwardly by means of the lower sole portion 5a upon reaching or exceeding the adjusted boundary load.
  • the lever 22 in this case functions as a catch mechanism.
  • lt should be understood that it canbe designed to be elastic. It can be composed of a number of individual components and retained together by means of elastic elements, for instance springs.
  • the structure according to FIG. 8 is exceptionally well-suited as a ski binding for down-hill and cross-country skiing.
  • the lower face of the sole can be also covered during walking with a cover plate in order to protect the release mechanism and other parts arranged in the sole during walking or treading, without skis.
  • the release mechanism in such a manner that the locking elements and blocking bodies are located at the front portion of the release mechanism at the center of the ski between the end of the ski and the ski tip while not taking into account the upwardly bent ski tip portion.
