- the object of the present invention is to improve the known ski binding in such a way that both the "getting in” and “getting out” of the binding is facilitated.
- the binding should grant an ergonomic sequence of movements, in particular a sequence of movements without excessive strain on the toe area of the cross-country skier when exercising.
- the construction according to the invention allows entry into the binding without manual actuation of an opening mechanism. Furthermore, after opening the binding for the purpose of getting out, the corresponding actuating element does not have to be held in the open position until the getting out process is finished. Rather, the binding engagement elements are held in the open or release position, namely by the locking element according to the invention. In this way, it is both easy to get in and out of the binding.
- the construction according to the invention also represents a significant improvement over the known ski binding according to EP-A-0 088 673, in which the holding member fixing the ski boot must also be held in the open position when exiting the binding either by hand or by means of the ski pole. and that against the action of an elastically deformable element or flexor assigned to the holding member.
- the locking element according to the invention interacts on the one hand with the holding member, namely the holding hook, and on the other hand with the complementary engagement element on the ski boot, it is also possible to obtain an extremely compact, yet functionally reliable construction.
- FIG. 1 to 3 is a cross-country or touring ski binding 1 for cross-country ski boots 2, which according to FIGS. 4 and 5 each have insertable complementary engagement elements for the manufacture of a at their front sole end 9 in engagement elements of the binding 1 have articulated connection between binding 1 and ski boot 2.
- the sole-integrated engagement elements comprise a joint axis 8 extending transversely to the longitudinal direction of the shoe and approximately parallel to the sole tread.
- the complementary engagement elements of the binding 1 comprise a retaining hook 3 engaging behind the joint axis 8 and forming a hinge joint therewith, which from a closed position according to FIG. 1 into a release position 2 and vice versa.
- the front sole end 9 is assigned an elastically deformable element on the binding side, namely a flexor 10 for the elastic return of the shoe 2 from a swiveled-up position into an approximately ski-parallel position.
- the ski boot 2 is supported on the flexor 10 via a beveled support surface 11 on the front sole end 9.
- the retaining hook 3 is in the release position according to FIG. 2 by a locking element 4 held, in such a way that it can be brought into an unlocked position according to FIG. 1 when entering the binding through the sole-integrated joint axis 8. In this position, the holding hook 3 moves into its closed position, which engages behind the sole-integrated joint axis 8, this movement being brought about by an elastic element described in more detail below.
- the locking element 4 is pushed into its locking position according to FIG. 2 by a leg spring 5.
- the locking element 4 is a double lever pivotably mounted about an axis 7 extending transversely to the longitudinal direction of the ski and approximately parallel to the ski top surface 12, one leg 13 of which engages in the locking position with the retaining hook 3 such that it is held in its release position, and whose other leg 14 protrudes into the movement path of the sole-integrated joint axis 8 when entering the binding 1.
- the holding hook 3 can be moved into its release position against the action of an elastic element, namely a helical compression spring 21.
- This elastic element or the mentioned helical compression spring 21 also causes the automatic movement of the holding hook 3 into its closed position according to FIG.
- the holding hook 3 is articulated according to FIGS. 1 and 2 on a pivotably mounted actuating lever 22, such that the pivoting movement of the actuating lever 22 can be converted into a translational back and forth movement of the holding hook 3 (see double arrow 15).
- the articulation 16 of the holding hook 3 on the actuating lever 22 lies, according to FIGS. 1 and 2, below the pivot axis 17 of the actuating lever 22 within the binding housing 6, the actuating lever 22 being pushed into a position by the helical compression spring 21 already mentioned in which the holding hook is 3 is in its closed position engaging behind the sole-integrated joint axis 8 in accordance with FIG. 1.

- the binding body 6 is continued according to FIGS. 1 to 3 towards the end of the ski with the formation of two guide ribs 23 which cooperate with complementary guide grooves 24 on the underside of the outsole of the ski boot 2.
- the guide ribs 23 are integral components of the binding housing 6, which is preferably made of plastic.
- the sole-integrated joint axis 8 extends within a groove-like recess 25 on the underside of the front section 9 of the outsole of the ski boot 2, namely at a distance "x" from the bottom of the groove-like recess 25. Furthermore, FIGS 4 and 5 recognize that the sole-integrated joint axis 8 is set back in relation to the front end of the sole or the front support surface 11 at the front end of the sole, in such a way that it lies approximately in the region of the big toe of a cross-country skier. In this way, you get a particularly ergonomic movement during cross-country skiing. At the bottom of the Front portion 9 of the outsole formed recess 25 directly follow the guide grooves 24.
- the depth of the groove-like recess 25 and the adjoining guide grooves 24 preferably decreases approximately in the front third of their total length, ie approximately to the ball area of the shoe 2, as shown in FIG. 4. Subsequently, the depth of the guide grooves 24 still present then remains approximately constant, the guide grooves 24 preferably being formed only in the front sole region. However, they can also extend to the heel of the shoe 2.

Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Langlauf- oder Tourenskibindung gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruches 1. Eine derartige, ebenfalls auf die Anmelderin zurückgehende Skibindung ist seit kurzem auf dem Markt. Sie wird unter der Kennzeichnung ROTTEFELLA NNN-BC (BACKCOUNTRY) angeboten. Diese Bindung zeichnet sich durch Robustheit, gute Führungseigenschaften sowie funktionssichere Bedienung aus. Dementsprechend groß ist der Anklang beim Verbraucher.The invention relates to a cross-country or touring ski binding according to the preamble of claim 1. Such a ski binding, which also goes back to the applicant, has recently been on the market. It is offered under the ROTTEFELLA NNN-BC (BACKCOUNTRY) label. This binding is characterized by robustness, good management properties and reliable operation. The response from consumers is correspondingly high.
Der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, die bekannte Skibindung dahingehend zu verbessern, daß sowohl das "Einsteigen" in als auch "Aussteigen" aus der Bindung erleichtert wird. Gleichzeitig soll die Bindung einen ergonomischen Bewegungsablauf grantieren, insbesondere einen Bewegungsablauf ohne übermäßige Belastung des Zehenbereichs des Skilangläufers bei Ausübung seines Sports.The object of the present invention is to improve the known ski binding in such a way that both the "getting in" and "getting out" of the binding is facilitated. At the same time, the binding should grant an ergonomic sequence of movements, in particular a sequence of movements without excessive strain on the toe area of the cross-country skier when exercising.
Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß durch die kennzeichnenden Merkmale des Anspruches 1 gelöst.This object is achieved by the characterizing features of claim 1.
Die erfindungsgemäße Konstruktion erlaubt den Einstieg in die Bindung ohne manuelle Betätigung eines Öffnungsmechanismus. Des weiteren muß nach dem Öffnen der Bindung zum Zwecke des Aussteigens das entsprechende Betätigungselement nicht in Offenstellung gehalten werden, bis der Aussteigvorgang beendet ist. Vielmehr werden die bindungseigenen Eingriffselemente in Offen- bzw. Freigabestellung gehalten, und zwar durch das erfindungsgemaße Sperrelement. Auf diese Weise ist also sowohl ein bequemes Einsteigen in die als auch bequemes Aussteigen aus der Bindung möglich. Insofern stellt die erfindungsgemäße Konstruktion auch eine erhebliche Verbesserung gegenüber der bekannten Skibindung nach der EP-A-0 088 673 dar, bei der ebenfalls beim Aussteigen aus der Bindung entweder von Hand oder mittels des Skistocks das den Skischuh fixierende Halteorgan in Offenstellung gehalten werden muß, und zwar entgegen der Wirkung eines dem Halteorgan zugeordneten elastisch verformbaren Elements bzw. Flexors. Die Folge ist, daß beim Aussteigen aus der Bindung der Ski ständig weggedrückt wird und der Skiläufer sehr leicht das Gleichgewicht verliert. Vor allem ist bei derartigen Bindungskonstruktionen das Aussteigen aus der Bindung in gestürzter Lage problematisch; in ungünstigen Fällen ist ein Aussteigen aus der Bindung sogar unmöglich, da die Öffnungskraft für das Halteorgan nicht aufgebracht werden kann. Im übrigen ist bei der letztgenannten Konstruktion auch das Einsteigen in die Bindung problematisch, da das Halteorgan unter ständiger Vorspannung steht. Man muß einen relativ hohen Druck ausüben, um das Halteorgan beim Einsteigen in die Bindung entgegen der erwähnten Vorspannung wegzudrücken.The construction according to the invention allows entry into the binding without manual actuation of an opening mechanism. Furthermore, after opening the binding for the purpose of getting out, the corresponding actuating element does not have to be held in the open position until the getting out process is finished. Rather, the binding engagement elements are held in the open or release position, namely by the locking element according to the invention. In this way, it is both easy to get in and out of the binding. In this respect, the construction according to the invention also represents a significant improvement over the known ski binding according to EP-A-0 088 673, in which the holding member fixing the ski boot must also be held in the open position when exiting the binding either by hand or by means of the ski pole. and that against the action of an elastically deformable element or flexor assigned to the holding member. The result is that when you exit the binding, the ski is constantly pushed away and the skier very easily loses his balance. Above all, with such binding constructions, getting out of the binding in a fallen position is problematic; in unfavorable cases it is even impossible to get out of the binding, since the opening force for the holding member cannot be applied. Moreover, with the latter construction, getting into the binding is also problematic since the holding member is under constant pretension. A relatively high pressure must be exerted in order to push the holding member away from the aforementioned tension when it gets into the binding.
Dadurch, daß das erfindungsgemäße Sperrelement zum einen mit dem Halteorgan, nämlich Haltehaken, und zum anderen mit dem komplementären Eingriffselement am Skischuh zusammenwirkt, ist es auch möglich, eine äußerst kompakte und dennoch funktionssichere Konstruktion zu erhalten.Because the locking element according to the invention interacts on the one hand with the holding member, namely the holding hook, and on the other hand with the complementary engagement element on the ski boot, it is also possible to obtain an extremely compact, yet functionally reliable construction.

Bei der in den Fig. 1 bis 3 dargestellten Skibindung handelt es sich um eine Langlauf- oder Tourenskibindung 1 für Langlaufskischuhe 2, die gemäß den Fig. 4 und 5 jeweils an ihrem vorderen Sohlenende 9 in Eingriffselemente der Bindung 1 einfügbare komplementäre Eingriffselemente zur Herstellung einer gelenkartigen Verbindung zwischen Bindung 1 und Skischuh 2 aufweisen. Die sohlenintegrierten Eingriffselemente umfassen eine sich quer zur Schuhlängsrichtung und etwa parallel zur Sohlenlauffläche erstreckende Gelenkachse 8. Die komplementären Eingriffselemente der Bindung 1 umfassen einen die Gelenkachse 8 hintergreifenden und mit dieser ein Scharniergelenk bildenden Haltehaken 3, welcher aus einer Schließstellung gemäß Fig. 1 in eine Freigabestellung gemäß Fig. 2 und umgekehrt bewegbar ist. Dem vorderen Sohlenende 9 ist bindungsseitig ein elastisch verformbares Element, nämlich Flexor 10 zur elastischen Rückstellung des Schuhs 2 aus einer hochgeschwenkten Lage in eine etwa skiparallele Lage zugeordnet. Die Abstützung des Skischuhs 2 am Flexor 10 erfolgt über eine abgeschrägte Stützfläche 11 am vorderen Sohlenende 9. Der Haltehaken 3 ist entsprechend Fig. 2 durch ein Sperrelement 4 in Freigabestellung gehalten, und zwar derart, daß es beim Einstieg in die Bindung durch die sohlenintegrierte Gelenkachse 8 in eine Außersperr-Stellung entsprechend Fig. 1 bringbar ist. In dieser Stellung bewegt sich der Haltehaken 3 in seine die sohlenintegrierte Gelenkachse 8 hintergreifende Schließstellung, wobei diese Bewegung durch ein noch weiter unten näher beschriebenes elastisches Element bewirkt wird. Das Sperrelement 4 ist durch eine Schenkelfeder 5 in seine Sperrstellung gemäß Fig. 2 gedrängt. Konkret ist das Sperrelement 4 ein um eine sich quer zur Skilängsrichtung und etwa parallel zur Skideckfläche 12 erstreckende Achse 7 verschwenkbar gelagerter Doppelhebel, dessen eine Schenkel 13 in Sperrstellung mit dem Haltehaken 3 in Eingriff steht, derart, daß dieser in seiner Freigabestellung gehalten ist, und dessen andere Schenkel 14 in die Bewegungsbahn der sohlenintegrierten Gelenkachse 8 beim Einstieg in die Bindung 1 ragt. Wie bereits oben dargelegt, ist der Haltehaken 3 entgegen der Wirkung eines elastischen Elements, nämlich einer Schraubendruckfeder 21, in seine Freigabestellung bewegbar. Diese elastische Element bzw. die genannte Schraubendruckfeder 21 bewirkt auch die selbsttätige Bewegung des Haltehakens 3 in seine Schließstellung gemäß Fig. 1 nach Entriegelung durch das Sperrelement 4. Der Haltehaken 3 ist entsprechend den Fig. 1 und 2 an einem schwenkbar gelagerten Betätigungshebel 22 angelenkt, derart, daß die Schwenkbewegung des Betätigungshebels 22 in eine translatorische Hin- und Herbewegung des Haltehakens 3 umsetzbar ist (siehe Doppelpfeil 15). Die Anlenkung 16 des Haltehakens 3 am Betätigungshebel 22 liegt entsprechend den Fig. 1 und 2 unterhalb der Schwenkachse 17 des Betätigungshebels 22 innerhalb des Bindungsgehäuses 6, wobei der Betätigungshebel 22 durch die bereits genannte Schraubendruckfeder 21 in eine Lage gedrängt ist, in der sich der Haltehaken 3 in seiner die sohlenintegrierte Gelenkachse 8 hintergreifenden Schließstellung entsprechend Fig. 1 befindet. Innerhalb des Bindungsgehäuses 6 sind der Flexor 10, der Haltehaken 3, das Betätigungselement 22 und das dem Haltehaken 3 zugeordnete Sperrelement 4 montiert, und zwar von vorne nach hinten bzw. von der Skispitze in Richtung zum Skiende hin in folgender Reihenfolge: Betätigungselement 22, Flexor 10, Haltehaken 3 einschließlich zugeordnetem Sperrelement 4. Der Bindungskörper 6 ist in an sich bekannter Weise auf der Deckfläche 12 eines Skikörpers 18 befestigt, und zwar verschraubt (Befestigungsschrauben 19).1 to 3 is a cross-country or touring ski binding 1 for cross-country ski boots 2, which according to FIGS. 4 and 5 each have insertable complementary engagement elements for the manufacture of a at their front
Der Bindungskörper 6 weist eine nach oben offene, sich quer zur Skilängsrichtung und etwa parallel zur Skideckfläche 12 erstreckende Aufnahmenut 20 für die sohlenintegrierte Gelenkachse 8 auf, in die der andere Schenkel 14 des Doppelhebels, welcher das Sperrelement 4 für den die sohlenintegrierte Gelenkachse 8 hintergreifenden Haltehaken 3 definiert, hineinragt.The
Der Bindungskörper 6 ist entsprechend den Fig. 1 bis 3 in Richtung zum Skiende hin unter Ausbildung von zwei Führungsrippen 23, die mit komplementären Führungsnuten 24 an der Unterseite der Laufsohle des Skischuhs 2 zusammenwirken, fortgesetzt. Die Führungsrippen 23 sind integrale Bestandteile des Bindungsgehäuses 6, welches vorzugweise aus Kunststoff hergestellt ist.The
Entsprechend den Fig. 4 und 5 erstreckt sich die sohlenintegrierte Gelenkachse 8 innerhalb einer nutartigen Ausnehmung 25 an der Unterseite des vorderen Abschnitts 9 der Laufsohle des Skischuhs 2, und zwar im Abstand "x" vom Grund der nutartigen Ausnehmung 25. Des weiteren lassen die Fig. 4 und 5 erkennen, daß die sohlenintegrierte Gelenkachse 8 gegenüber dem vorderen Sohlenende bzw. der vorderen Stützfläche 11 am vorderen Sohlenende zurückgesetzt ist, und zwar derart, daß sie etwa im Bereich der großen Zehe eines Skilangläufers liegt. Auf diese Weise erhält man einen besonders ergonomischen Bewegungsablauf beim Skilanglauf. An die an der Unterseite des vorderen Abschnitts 9 der Laufsohle ausgebildete Ausnehmung 25 schließen sich die Führungsnuten 24 unmittelbar an. Entsprechend Fig. 4 nimmt die Tiefe der nutartigen Ausnehmung 25 und auch der sich daran anschließenden Führungsnuten 24 ausgehend vom vorderen Sohlenende in Richtung nach hinten bzw. zur Ferse hin zunächst stetig ab, um dann etwa konstant zu bleiben. Vorzugsweise nimmt die Tiefe der nutartigen Ausnehmung 25 und der sich daran anschließenden Führungsnuten 24 etwa im vorderen Drittel ihrer Gesamtlänge, d. h. etwa bis zum Ballenbereich des Schuhs 2 hin stetig ab, so wie dies in Fig. 4 dargestellt ist. Anschließend bleibt die Tiefe der dann noch vorhandenen Führungsnuten 24 etwa konstant, wobei die Führungsnuten 24 vorzugsweise nur im vorderen Sohlenbereich ausgebildet sind. Sie können sich jedoch auch bis zur Ferse des Schuhs 2 hin erstrecken.4 and 5, the sole-integrated
An der frei zugänglichen Oberseite des Betätigungshebels 22 ist eine Mulde 26 zum Eingriff einer Skistockspitze ausgebildet.A
Wie bereits oben angedeutet, ist der Haltehaken 3 im Bindungskörper 6 hin- und herverschieblich gelagert, und zwar in Richtung des Doppelpfeiles 15. Um bei der Umsetzung der Schwenkbewegung des Betätigungshebels 22 in die Translationsbewegung des Haltehakens 3 Klemmungen zu vermeiden, ist die Anlenkung 16 bzw. der entsprechende Anlenkpunkt des Haltehakens 3 am Betätigungselement 22 in bezug auf die Schwenkachse 17 desselben radial verlagerbar, insbesondere die die Anlenkung definierende Gelenkachse radial verschiebbar am Betätigungselement 22 geführt.As already indicated above, the holding
Der Haltehaken 3 ist bei der dargestellten Ausführungsform durch ein im Bindungskörper 6 hin- und herverschieblich gelagertes Flachelement gebildet, dessen eine, nämlich hintere bzw. dem Skiende zugewandte Ende zu einem in Schließstellung die sohlenintegrierte Gelenkachse 8 hintergreifenden, in Richtung zur Skispitze hin offenen, U-förmigen Bügel 27 verformt ist, wobei dieser Bügel 27 etwa mittig eine Ausnehmung 28 aufweist, in dessen Bereich das Flachelement unter Ausbildung eines mit dem Sperrelement 4 in Sperrstellung zusammenwirkenden Vorsprungs 29 fortgesetzt ist. Der Vorsprung 29 weist eine Ausnehmung bzw. Öffnung 30 auf, in die der eine Schenkel 13 des das Sperrelement 4 definierenden Doppelhebels in Sperrstellung eingreift (siehe Fig. 2). Die Achse 7 des das Sperrelement 4 definierenden Doppelhebels liegt bei der dargestellten Ausführungsform in Freigabestellung des Haltehakens 3 etwa im Bereich der geometrischen Achse des U-förmigen Bügels 27. Des weiteren ist der das Sperrelement 4 definierende Doppelhebel zum Boden 31 des Bindungskörpers 6 hin etwa V-förmig abgewinkelt (siehe Fig. 1 und 2).In the embodiment shown, the holding
Der Flexor 10 ist vorzugsweise austauschbar im Bindungskörper 6 angeordnet, so daß je nach Bedarf ein weicherer oder härterer Flexor eingesetzt werden kann.The
Statt der Schraubendruckfeder 21, die zwischen dem Betätigungshebel 22 und dem Boden 31 des Bindungskörpers 6 plaziert ist, kann ebenfalls ein elastischer Block, z. B. aus Kautschukmaterial, verwendet werden.Instead of the
Die Aufnahmenut 20 für die Gelenkachse 8 befindet sich in einem Bereich zwischen dem Flexor 10 und einem dachartig ausgebildeten Gehäuseteil 32, welcher sich in die Ausnehmung 25 an der Unterseite des vorderen Abschnitts der Sohle des Skischuhs 2 hineinerstreckt, derart, daß die Abrollbewegung des Schuhs 2 beim Skilanglauf nicht behindert wird. Durch den dachartigen Gehäuseteil 32 werden in der Offen- bzw. Freigabestellung des Haltehakens 3 dessen Bügelabschnitt 27 sowie das Sperrelement 4 mit Ausnahme des in die Aufnahmenut 20 hineinragenden Schenkels 14 und die dem Sperrelement zugeordnete Schenkelfeder 5 abgedeckt. Auch befindet sich innerhalb des Gehäuseteils 32 die Achse 7, um die das Sperrelement 4 verschwenkbar ist. Um diese Achse 7 ist die Schenkelfeder 5 so plaziert, daß sich der eine Schenkel an der Innenseite des Gehäuseteils 32 und der andere Schenkel an dem Sperrelement derart abstützt, daß dieses in Sperrstellung gedrängt wird, und zwar in den Fig. 1 und 2 in Uhrzeigerrichtung.The receiving
Die Kontur des dachartigen Gehäuseteils 32 sowie der sich unmittelbar daran anschließenden Führungsrippen 23 entspricht sowohl in Skilängsrichtung als auch quer dazu der Kontur der Ausnehmung 25 sowie sich unmittelbar daran anschließenden Führungsnuten 24 an der Unterseite der Laufsohle des Skischuhs 2. In Skilängsrichtung ist die Kontur der genannten Teile geringfügig konkav gewölbt, wie die Fig. 1 und 2 erkennen lassen. Durch diese Wölbung wird das Abrollen der Laufsohle des Skischuhs 2 beim Skilanglauf begünstigt.The contour of the roof-
Die oben erwähnte Stützfläche 11 am vorderen Ende der Laufsohle des Skischuhs 2 liegt an einer entsprechenden Schrägfläche 33 des Flexors 10 bereits dann an, wenn der Skischuh vollständig auf die Skideckfläche 12 des Skikörpers 18 abgesenkt ist. Auf diese Weise ist der Flexor 10 beim Hochschwenken des Skischuhs von Anbeginn an wirksam. Der Flexor 10 kann so ausgebildet sein, daß die Rückstellkraft über die gesamte Kompressionsstrecke entweder etwa konstant oder progressiv zunehmend ist.The

- A binding according to claim 4,
characterised in that the link (16) of the holding hook (3) at the operating lever (22) lies below the pivot axis (17) of the same, and that the operating lever (22) is pressed into a position by a spring element, in particular the helical compression spring (21), in which position the holding hook (3) is situated in its locking position. - A binding according to one or several of claims 1 to 5, characterised in that the flexor (10), the holding hook (3), the operating element (22) and the blocking element (4), allocated to the holding hook (3), are assembled at or in a common binding housing (6), which housing can be fixed (fixing screws 19) in a known manner on the top surface (12) of a ski body (18).
- A binding according to claim 6,
characterised in that the binding housing (6) comprises a receiving groove (20) for the pivot axis (8) integrated into the sole, which groove is open at the top and extends transverse to the longitudinal direction of the ski and approximately parallel to the ski top surface (12), into which receiving groove, in the release position of the holding hook (3), protrudes the other limb (14) of the double lever serving as a blocking element (4). - A binding according to claim 6 or 7,
characterised in that the binding body (6) is continued in the direction towards the end of the ski forming at least one guide rib (23) and/or guide groove. - A binding according to one or several of claim 4 to 8, characterised in that at the freely accessible upper side of the operating lever (22) a hollow (26) is formed to engage a point of a ski stick.
- A binding according to one or several of claims 4 to 9, characterised in that the holding hook (3) is mounted in the binding housing (6) in a reciprocating displaceable manner, and that the link (16) of the holding hook (3) at the operating element (22) can be radially displaced with relation to the pivot axis (17) of the same, in particular the pivot axis defining the link (16) is guided in a radially displaceable manner at the operating element (22).
- A binding according to any one of claims 1 to 10, characterised in that the projection (29) comprises a recess or opening (30), into which one of the limbs (13) of the double lever defining the blocking element (4) engages in the blocking position.
- A binding according to any one of claims 1 to 11, characterised in that the axis (7) of the double lever defining the blocking element (4), in the release position of the holding hook (3), lies approximately in the region of the geometrical axis of the U-shaped bracket (27).
