Definitions

  • This invention relates to improvements in ski structures and more particularly, it is concerned with an improved connection. for ski-bindings, in which the binding clamp is freely and readily attachable to or detachable from the ski board even by common skiers themselves depending on necessity.
  • the present invention has made it possible to assemble and disassemble the ski-binding clamps on and from the ski boards in a very simple operation, thereby enabling the ski-binding clamps to be readily fitted onto the ski boards on the spot at the skiing slope as well as enabling them to be detached from the ski boards for carrying on the shoulder.
  • the skibinding clamps separated from the ski boards are put in a sack, and the bare ski boards are carried on the shoulder, whereby the assembling and disassembling works at the retailers is no longer necessary.
  • FIG. 1 is a longitudinal cross-section showing one embodiment of the structure for fitting the ski-bindin g clamps onto the ski board according to the present invention
  • FIG. 2 is a perspective view, partly in cross-section, showing the connecting structure in FIG. 1 above;
  • FIG. 3 is a perspective view, partly in cross-section, showing another embodiment of the structure for fitting the ski-binding clamps onto the ski board according to the present invention.
  • FIG. 4 is a perspective view, partly in cross-section, showing still another embodiment of the structure for fitting the ski-binding clamps onto the ski board according to the present invention.
  • FIGS. 1 and 2 The improved connecting structure for assembling and disassembling the ski-binding clamps on and from the ski board according to the present invention, in its first embodiment, is as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, wherein a cylindrical cavity In is formed in the center part of the ski board 1, into which a cylindrical bracket 2 with its upper end being open is buried and secured.
  • This bracket 2 is provided with a flange 2a on the circumfera ence of the upper edge thereof.
  • the top surface of this flange 2a is flush with the top surface of the ski board.
  • a through-hole 2b is diametrically formed for allowing a pin 7 to pass therethrough, extending in a direction orthogonal to the lengthwise direction of the ski board 1.
  • the pin 7 is insertable from one of the lateral sides of the ski board into an alignment of holes 3 and 2b and cavity la.
  • the ski-binding clamp 4, or, a toe piece in this embodiment, is in such a construction that the body of the ski-binding clamp is rotatable on the axis of a pin 40 provided therein in a plane perpendicular to the top surface of the ski board 1.
  • the pin 4a pierces through the base plate 5 fixed at the bottom of the ski-binding clamp 4, and the bottom of this vertically extending pin 4a is fixedly connected to a cylindrical block 6 which is adapted to be inserted into the hollow cylindrical bracket 2. It is desirable that this inserting block 6 be formed integrally with the pin 40, and be insertable into the hollow cylindrical bracket with the minimal clearance between the walls.
  • the inserting block 6 is also provided with a throughhole 6a at a position in alignment with the through-hole 2b in the bracket 2 and the through-hole 3 in the ski board 1 so that the binding metal may be fixedly se- 3 cured on the ski board by way of a spring pin 7 which passes through the holes 3, 2b, and 6a.
  • the inserting block 6 may be provided at the bottom surface of the base plate for insertion into the bracket 2 and for fastening the entire ski-binding onto the ski boards by way of the through-holes formed in the ski board, the hollow cylindrical bracket and the inserting block all being in mutual alignment.
  • the inserting block 6 integrally connected with the pin 4a ofthe ski-binding metal 4 is first inserted into the hollow cylindrical bracket 2 installed in the cavity 1a formed in the ski board 1, followed by alignment of the through-hole 2b of the bracket 2 and the through-hole 6a of the inserting block 6, and then a spring pin 7 is intromitted into the aligned holes through the hole 3 formed in the ski board.
  • the end of the spring pin may be lightly hit by a hammer.
  • ski-binding clamp 4 can be rotated on the axis of the pin 4a, it is only necessary that the base plate 5 be correctly mounted on the ski board as required, for the direction, etc. of the rotatable ski-binding clamp per se may be adjusted later on.
  • the hollow cylindrical bracket 2 may be dispensed with when the ski board 1 is made ofa material of sufficiently high mechanical strength, for example, if the ski board 1 comprises a metal layer.
  • the inserting block 6 can be directly inserted into the cylindrical cavity la in the ski board and secured thereto by the spring pin 7 piercing the through-holes 3 and 6a arranged in mutual alignment as shown in FIG. 3.
  • the spring pin 7 may be replaced with a straight pin as indicated.
  • FIG. 4 which indicates a manner of fixing a heel piece of the ski-binding onto the ski board 1
  • a pair of downwardly projecting planar pieces 8 of the heel clamp of the ski-binding are inserted into a corresponding pair of cavities 9 formed in the ski board 1.
  • each of the abovementioned downwardly projecting planar pieces 8 is provided with a hole 8a at a position corresponding to the through-hole 3 in the ski board 1.
  • a stopper pin 7 is inserted to secure the ski-binding onto the ski board 1.
  • the pin to be inserted into the through-hole may be of any kind such as spring pin, tapered pin, straight pin, etc.
  • the present invention has made it easier to attach and detach the ski-binding clamps to and from the ski board in such a manner that an inserting block provided on the ski-binding is inserted into or withdrawn from a hollow cavity corresponding to the inserting block in shape and formed in the ski board.
  • the inserting block is secured in this receiving cavity by means of a single stopper pin passing through the common through-hole formed in each of them, and is releasable by drawing the pin out of the through-holes, the carrying of the ski board on the shoulder becomes easier, reducing suffering, pain and annoyance at the nape by a very simple dismantling operation of the skibinding clamp, and the burden of additional work on the part of the dealers can be remarkably reduced.
  • An improved connection means for ski-binding comprising:
  • ski board having a hollow cavity in one portion at a top surface thereof, and a hole formed therein and opening at a lateral side of said ski board, the axis of said hole passing through said hollow cavity;
  • a ski-binding clamp for a ski boot comprised of a main body, and at least one fitting member extending downwardly from said main body and also having a through-hole formed therein at a position corresponding to said through-hole in said ski board, said fitting member being inserted into said hollow cavity for assembling the ski-binding on said ski board;
  • a stopper pin for insertion through said holes in said ski board and said fitting member, all being in mutual alignment so as to secure the ski-binding clamp to said ski board.
  • connection means for ski-binding according to claim 1, wherein a reinforcing bracket for receiving and accommodating therein said fitting member is provided in said hollow cavity.
  • connection means for the ski-binding according to claim 1 wherein said fitting member is in a cylindrical form.
