Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method for freeing a ski boot, in the event of a safety release, from the ski to which it is held by means of a safety binding.
  • bindings reacting to a single type of stress, for instance heel-pieces which open only vertically and release when bending stresses are applied, and forward stops which release only laterally.
  • heel-pieces which open only vertically and release when bending stresses are applied, and forward stops which release only laterally.
  • forward stops which release only laterally.
  • bindings reacting to both bending and twisting stresses namely heel-pieces or front stops which release both laterally and vertically and which themselves provide complete safety.
  • a binding of this type may be used alone to hold one end of a boot, of which the other end is held by a fitting which plays no part in safety, or it may be associated with a heel-piece or stop of the kind mentioned above, or with another binding of the same kind.
  • the present invention relates specifically to improvements to bindings of the second category.
  • Some known bindings of this type have a boot-retaining jaw hinged to a stationary element in a manner such that the jaw may either move transversely of the ski or may rock vertically.
  • a stop system prevents the jaw from rocking vertically until it has been displaced laterally against the action of a resilient element, the jaw being free to open fully and immediately, as soon as it escapes from the stop system.
  • Bindings of this type are described, for instance, in Swiss Pat. No. 502,830 filed on Jan. 21 1970, and in two French Pats. No. 1,339,477 filed on Nov. 27, 1962 and No. 1,047,353 filed on Dec. 23, 1951.
  • the present invention proposes to release the boot by a method consisting in:
  • This provides a sort of braking of the jaw in its vertical opening movement, which allows the jaw to snap back resiliently into its normal holding position, if the release stress should cease.
  • the invention also relates to a new type of binding which comprises a resilient system for locking the binding in a normal position of boot holding on the ski, lateral displacement at the time of release being effected against the action of this system, and a system of stops consisting of a first stop profile mounted on the ski, and a second stop profile controlled by the movement of the boot, the profiles co-operating to prevent any lifting of the boot;
  • this binding is furthermore characterized in that it comprises a relaying element which, after the first and second stop profiles have been separated, continues to transmit to the boot the action of a resilient locking system which prevents the boot from lifting in relation to the ski.
  • the relaying element consists of two lateral ramps preferably located on each side of one of the stop profiles, and forming an angle with the plane of the ski.
  • the relaying element may either be attached to the ski and cooperate with a part of the jaw, or it may be integral with the jaw, or with a plate associated with the boot, and co-operate with a stationary structure on the ski.
  • the two sloping ramps may be independent and associated with a conventional locking system.
  • the relaying element consists of a link arrangement of a resilient locking system which provides for lateral and vertical release.
  • FIG. 1 is a diagrammatic section of a first form of execution of a binding according to the invention
  • FIG. 1a is a detail from FIG. 1;
  • FIG. 2 is a plan view of the stationary structure with which the binding in FIG. 1 co-operates;
  • FIG. 3 is a diagram corresponding to FIGS. 1 and 2;
  • FIG. 4 is a diagrammatic longitudinal section of a second form of execution
  • FIG. 5 is a plan view of the binding in FIG. 4;
  • FIG'. 6 is a section along the line VIVI in FIG. 4;
  • FIG. 7 is a diagrammatic plan view of a third form of execution of a binding according to the invention.
  • FIGS. 8 and 9 are, respectively, a section along the line VIIIVIII and a view on the direction of arrow 9 in FIG. 7;
  • FIGS. 10 and 11 are views similar to those in FIGS. 7 and 9, showing the binding in course of release;
  • FIGS. 12 and 13 are views similar to those in FIGS. 10 and 11, showing the binding towards the end of the release;
  • FIG. 14 is a plan view of a fourth form of execution of a binding according to the invention.
  • FIG. 15 is a side elevation, in part section, of FIG. 14.
  • FIGS. 16 and 17 are views similar to those in FIGS. 14 and 15, showing the binding in the position of release.
  • the binding according to FIGS. 1 to 3 consists of an element 1 equipped with a boot-retaining jaw 2 and mounted on a ball-joint 3 located at the end of a rod 4 and secured, for example by welding, to a base-plate 5 designed to be attached to ski 6 by means of screws 7, for example.
  • a resilient means for locking the element in its normal boot-retaining position said means consisting of a ball 9 urged towards the ball-joint 3 by a spring 10 which may be adjusted by a screw 11 running in a thread in bore 8. In the normal position shown in FIG.
  • the ball 9 enters a housing 12 which is arranged in ball-joint 3 and is in the form of a dish having a flared wall, as shown in section in FIG. 1 and from the outside in FIG. la.
  • Facing jaw 2 on element 1 is a roller 13 rotating freely on a shaft 14 running in lugs 15 of the element 1.
  • the roller co-operates with a part 16 which is secured to base-plate 5 and has a flat upper surface 17 and two symmetrical lateral ramps 18a, 18b. These ramps slope down from surface 17 to the ski, as shown in FIG. 3.
  • part 16, as seen from above is in the form of an arc with its centre at axis 00 of ball-joint 3.
  • hatched area Z1 is the area of interdiction of free lifting of a median point A of the jaw.
  • the shape of this interdicting area is, of course, symmetrical with the shape of part 16.
  • the interdicting area is identical for all points on the jaw, and the travel of the jaw on each side of its normal position will be defined by dotted line 21.
  • Angle a of ramps 18a, 18b which also defines the slope of lines 21 limiting the interdicting area, is such that 0 a (11/2).
  • the choice of the value of angle 01 makes it possible to define the desired relationship between the lateral and vertical release values.
  • the vertical-release value should always be greater than the lateral-release value. The closer at to O, the greater the vertical-release load should be.
  • Vertical release may be effected by the boot slipping in the jaw after roller 13 has travelled a certain distance along ramp 18, or it may be defined mechanically by the ramp.
  • FIGS. 4 to 6 show a configuration of the invention in which boot 23 is temporarily secured to a sole-plate 24, of which only the front end is shown.
  • This plate has a fixed jaw 25 which holds the toe of the boot.
  • the conventional fastening shown in FIGS. 4 to 6, comprises an element 26, attached to ski 1 by screws, for example, containing a sliding piston 27 which is caused to project from the element by a spring 28, a screw 29 for adjusting the force of the spring being engaged in a thread in element 26.
  • the piston the head of which is rounded off, rests against a conventional release ramp 30 located at the front end of plate 24, the ramp consisting of two flat surfaces in the form of a V opening towards the fastening element and sloping rearwardly in relation to the ski.
  • the sole plate also has a central flat surface 31 flanked by ramps 32, 33 inclined towards the ski. As shown quite clearly in FIG. 5, the ramps are hollowed out from top to bottom towards the ski. Surface 31 and ramps 32, 33 co-operate with a stationary stop finger 34 which is integral with element 26 or is rigidly secured to the ski, free end 35 of this finger pointing vertically towards the ski and being rounded off in order to reduce friction. In the normal operative position, end 35 of the finger bears against surface 31 (see FIGS. 4 and 5) and prevents any lifting of plate 24. On the other hand, as soon as the plate slides laterally and brings the finger into contact with one or the other of ramps 31, 32, the plate may lift (see FIG. 6), although the amount of lift is still limited by the contact between the finger and the ramp. FIG. 6 shows the path travelled by the plate in the case of a release towards the right.
  • FIGS. 7 to 13 This again is a so-called plate fastening, i.e. the boot is temporarily secured by means of a sole-plate 40 which is of conventional type and will therefore not be described in detail.
  • the toe of the boot is held, as usual, by a jaw 41 integral with the plate.
  • the plate is held at the rear by any suitable means, for instance a bridge system which holds down the rear part of the plate.
  • a bridge system which holds down the rear part of the plate.
  • the front part of the plate co-operates with a known locking system such as that described in French Patent Application 72-16741 of May 10, 1972, in the name of Georges, Pierre, Joseph Salomon and entitled Safety binding for a ski boot.
  • This locking system is shown diagrammatically in the drawings and will not be described in detail. It will be sufficient to point out, in order that the invention may be understood, that it consists of two arms 42, 43 hinged to the ski at 44 and 45 respectively, the arms intersecting at the longitudinal centreline of the ski and being subjected to the action of a piston 46 loaded by a spring 47, the force of which is adjustable. In FIGS. 10 and 12, this piston is symbolized by an arrow.
  • the front end of the plate has two lateral release ramps 48, 49, the shape of which is shown in the vertical section in FIG. 8. These ramps slope from bottom to top towards the jaw and converge towards the centreline of the ski.
  • the bases of these ramps have a projection 50 which allows them to engage under the free end of arms
  • the ends of the arms as seen in the direction of arrow xx in FIG. 7, are in the form of a hook with a flat surface 51 substantially parallel with the plane of the ski and extending outwardly in the form of a ramp 52 sloping outwardly from bottom to top) In the normal operative position shown in FIGS. 7, 8
  • projections 50 on release ramps 48, 49 bear against flat surfaces 51 on arms 42, 43. If a load having a lateral component is applied to the plate, it will first of all slide in the plane of the ski (FIG. 10), as long as projections 50 are in contact with surface 51. Thereafter (FIGS. 11 and 13), projection 50 will be guided by ramp 52 and will allow the plate to lift. (In order to make the figures easier to understand, the projection on ramp 48 is shown at A, while the nose between surface 51 and ramp 52 on each arm is shown at B in each drawing).
  • the plate shown in FIGS. 4 to 13 may be permanently secured to the boot; it may even be cut into the sole of the boot. It is also to be understood that any action may be taken to make parts in contact slide more easily.
  • FIGS. 14 to 17 illustrate-an adaptation, according to the invention, of a binding similar to that described in French Pat. l,584,487, of Feb. 28, I968. Only the elements necessary for understanding the in vention will be dealt with.
  • a fastening element 60 Secured to ski 1 is a fastening element 60 having housings 61, 62 on each side of its centreline. Sliding in each of these housings is a piston 63 which is caused to project by means of a spring 64 resting against an adjusting screw 65. Extending transversely through a central lug is a horizontal shaft 66 which rotates in the lug and is located laterally by means of a shoulder 67 in the large end of the shaft and a circlip located in a groove in the smaller end of the shaft. The large part of the shaft has a flat 69 on which one of pistons 63 rests when the device is in its normal position.
  • links 70, 71 are hinged at 72, 73 to the large and smaller parts of shaft 66, the links carrying, at their free ends a jaw 74 hinged about vertical axes 75.
  • Link 70 extends beyond hinge-point 72, so that its end 76 bears against second piston 63.
  • S indicates the sole of the boot engaging with jaw 74.
  • the jaw is equipped with a hooked part 78, nose 79 of which co-operates with nose 80 of another hook-shaped element 81 accommodated in the fastening element.
  • hooks 78 and 81 are in contact (FIGS. 14 and they prevent any lifting of the jaw, but do not interfere with the lateral movement thereof.
  • hook 81 may be rigidly attached to the fastening element, preferably in accordance with the invention and as shown in the drawings, it will be mounted slidingly in an appropriate 81 to move away, because of the resiliency of the locking system, allowing hook 79 to engage under nose 80.
  • a method for freeing a ski boot in the event of a safety release, from the ski on which it is held by means of a safety binding, said method consisting in: forcing the boot initially to move parallel with the plane of the ski without any possibility of lifting, and subsequently allowing it to lift in relation to the ski, characterized in that in the course of the second phase of the release of the boot, the lifting movement thereof is braked resilientlv and thus takes place progressively, whereas the ability to-move laterally is retained until the release has been completed.
