Definitions

  • Said y' p device Comprising a loop'forming strap fixed by at least two points on each side of the 52 us. 01 280/11.35 N Ski, Passing in from Of the heel Zone and behind the 1511 Int. c1.
  • the elastic portion of the strap makes it possible to have the slack essential for the boot to be freed from the fixing'device after release of this latter.
  • the strap according to the invention hasfor its object by virtue of the elasticity of this part of the strap, the
  • the strap comprises: t
  • a clamping strap comprising boot or on external objectsf a releasable closure and intended to bepassed over the front portion of the boot upper.
  • One of these straps comprises an elastic portion with controlled elasticity, so that the,boot can be freed from fn an alternativeform, the elastic portion of the strap may be mounted on either of the loop-shaped straps or clamping straps. 'ln additionfthis elastic portion may be slidably mounte'd' on the strap-concerned in accordance the fixing device after the release of this latter; accordwitli the size of-the boot.
  • At least one of the extremities of the clampingstrap is mounted slidably on the loop-shaped strap.
  • the elasticity of this elastic portion may b controlled, so that the extension of the strap does not exceed a pre-determined value. In fact, it is not desirable for the boot to be separated too far from the ski,
  • the strap is such that the loop-shaped strap is fixed since in this case the latter hasthe possibility of rotating tremities of the clamping straps slide along the loop straps.
  • the loop-shaped strap may be mounted on the s'ki'in i different ways. It may be fixed directly on the ski, as will be described below with reference to the drawings, but it may also be mounted on a plate pivoting about a vertical shaft fixed on the ski; in particular the two hooking points located on each side ofthe ski may be; fixed on each side of the pivoted plate 'designed so as to support a heel-fixing device. I r i The skier who wishes to hook the clamping straps grips the two free extremities of the'closu re and pulls them upwards so as to hook them together on the front of the boot upper. During this operation, the 'loopshaped part of the strap which passes behind theboot upp er'is also lifted and placed in position. Thus: by
  • the combination of a strap system forming a running knot and an elastic portion enables the boot to least two attachment points located on each side of the ski, infthe'vicinity'of the zone reserved for the heel of the boot sole.
  • This arrangement of the strap limits the amplifude of the moveriients of the ski during an accidentalrelease 'of the fixing devices. For this reason, the skier is less liable to be injured by the ski.
  • a third point of attachment of the loop-shaped strap on the ski is provided.
  • This point of attachment on the ski preferably located behiridthose previously referred to, is connected to the rear portion-of the loop-shaped strap.
  • connection between the ski and the straps may'also be employed to hold the straps in position in order that they do not hinder the rest position of the parts of the skiintended to receive the boot.
  • the connection between the third point of attachment and the straps is-semi-rigid.
  • the unhookable closure may be obtained in various ways. It may in particular be a hook engaging in a rectangular ring. In this case, this ring may also be that which slides along the loop-shaped strap.
  • the closure system may be mounted at any point of the clamping strap; in particular in an alternative form of embodiment of the invention it is fixed on one of the sliding rings.
  • FIG. 1 is a strap comprising a single sliding ring
  • FIG. 2 is a strap comprising two sliding rings and fixed to a third point of attachment on the ski;
  • FIG. 3 shows an alternative form of construction of the strap illustrated by FIG. 2.
  • FIG. 1 shows a safety strap mounted on a ski l on which is fixed a front abutment 2 and a heel recess 3.
  • the strap comprises a loop-shaped strap 4 fixed on the ski by means of a metal channel section 5 by screws 15.
  • the loop-shaped strap 4 is fixed to the ski at two attachment points 6 and 7 located on each side of this lat ter.
  • the clamping strap 8, shown in the unhooked position, comprises two parts on which the hooking system is mounted.
  • This hooking system is constituted on the one hand by a hook 9 and on the other by a rectangular ring 10 which is handled by means of a strap-end 16.
  • One of the extremities of the clamping strap is fixed to a ring 11 slidably mounted on the loop-shaped strap 4.
  • the other extremity is assembled at 17 to the loopshaped strap on the opposite side to the ring.
  • the elastic portion of the strap is constituted by an elastic member 12 rigidly fixed on a band 13 which limits its extension.
  • the extremities of this band are fixed on two buckles 14 which slide along the strap 4. The skier can adjust the length of the strap in dependence on the size of his boot, by sliding the buckles 14 along the strap 4.
  • the elastic portion of the strap provides the slack necessary for the boot to be disengaged from the fixing devices 2 and 3 without there being any play at rest between the clamping strap and the boot, especially on each side of this latter.
  • FIG. 2 shows an alternative form of construction of the safety strap according to the invention.
  • the two extremities of the clamping strap 8 are slidably mounted on the loop-shaped strap by means of two rings 11. It will immediately be observed from the drawing that the two side portions of the loop 4 are twisted when they pass into the rings 11. In this way, each of the portions of the loop 4 separated by the twisted portion, may be suitably applied flat against the part of the boot corresponding.
  • the rear extremity 22 of the strap 4 is connected by a semi-stiff strap to an attachment point 21 located on the ski behind the two attachment points 6 and 7 of the strap 4.
  • This strap 20 has the function on'the' one hand of limiting the amplitude of the-movements of rotation of the ski about the foot, in order that the ski cannot injure the skier, and on the other hand of holding the strap 4 in such a manner that it does not interfere with the position reserved on the ski for the boot.
  • FIG. 3 represents an alternative form of the elastic portion of the fixing device illustrated by FIG. 2.
  • the extremities 31, 32 of the elastic member 30 are fixedly mounted on the strap 4 which acts as a band to limit the extension of the elastic member 30.
  • a safety-strap device intended to keep a ski boot attached to a ski after the release of a safety boot fixing device, said strap device comprising two distinct straps:
  • a continuous loop-forming strap mounted on said ski in at least two points located on each side of said ski, in front of the zone reserved for the heel of the boot sole and passing behind the upper of said boot;
  • a clamping strap comprising two parts and a hooked closure device adapted to close the two parts over the front portion of the upper of said boot, one of the parts of said clamping strap being mounted to said loop-forming strap; one of said straps comprising an elastic member attached at two points along said one strap to provide sufficient slack in the safety device to ensure that said boot can be disengaged after the release of said safety fixing device; the other part of said clamping strap being slidably mounted on said loop-forming strap by a ring means to thereby allow said clamping strap to slide relative to said loop-forming strap whereby, in a single operation of booking the parts of the clamping strap, a skier lifts and places in position the portion of the loop-forming strap passing behind the upper of said boot.
  • a safety strap device as claimed in claim 4 said hooked closure device being composed of a ring on one part of the clamping strap in which a hook fixed on the other part of said clamping strap is removably engaged.
