20140070519 | Automatic heel unit for a ski binding - The invention relates to an automatic heel unit for a ski binding or touring ski binding, having a base element and a carriage which is mounted on the base element to be movable in the longitudinal direction of the ski. This automatic heel unit has at least one climbing position in which the carriage is situated in a rear position and a downhill position in which the carriage is situated further forward than in the climbing position. It comprises an adjusting lever for adjusting the automatic heel unit from the downhill position into the climbing position and back. This adjusting lever is mounted on the carriage to be pivotable about a pivot axle. Furthermore, the automatic heel unit comprises a lever element which is mounted on the base element to be pivotable about a first axle and mounted on the adjusting lever to be pivotable about a second axle. | 03-13-2014 |
20130334796 | SKIBINDUNG - A ski binding comprises a sole element, a front retaining device, for retaining a toe of the ski boot, and an automatic heel unit, for retaining the heel of the ski boot. The sole element is pivotally mounted and is oriented transverse of the ski. The automatic heel unit allows release in the forward direction. The ski binding has a downhill position, in which the sole element is oriented parallel to the ski, and a climbing positions, in which the sole element can be pivoted. The automatic heel unit, both in the downhill and climbing positions, is arranged on the ski, with the heel region of a ski boot retained in the ski binding. In the climbing position of the ski binding, the heel can be freed, as a result of which the ski boot, can be pivoted about the pivot axis together with the sole element. | 12-19-2013 |
20130181427 | TOURING HEEL BINDING HAVING A DYNAMIC SLIDING REGION - A heel piece for a ski binding, particularly a touring ski binding, comprises a base element for installing the heel piece on the ski upper face and a slide mounted on the base element, on which slide is arranged a heel holder having at least one retaining means for retaining the heel of a ski boot. Said heel piece has a downhill position, in which the retaining means locks the ski boot in a lowered position. Said heel piece also has at least one uphill position, in which the heel region of the ski boot retained in the ski binding is released. In the downhill position, the slide can be moved together with the heel holder relative to the base element in the longitudinal direction of the ski. | 07-18-2013 |
20130087992 | Automatic front unit - An automatic front unit for a ski binding comprises two levers which, seen in the longitudinal direction of the ski are arranged laterally opposite each other, each having means for holding the toe of a ski boot. The two levers each pivot in such a way that pivoting movement of the levers moves the holding means in a transverse direction of the ski. The front unit has a release position, in which the two holding means are at a first distance from each other and a securing position, in which the two holding means are at a smaller second distance from each other. The front unit comprises a positive control device, on which the two levers are jointly pivotable within a dynamic region in the transverse direction of the ski and the two holding means are thereby jointly moved at the second distance from each other in the transverse direction. | 04-11-2013 |
20100001491 | DEVICE USED AS A CLIMBING AID - The present invention concerns a device comprising a supporting device as a climbing aid for a ski, the supporting device having at least two supporting positions, in which the supporting device prevents a boot that is held in a ski binding from being lowered below a climbing angle between the boot and the ski that is associated with the respective supporting position. It also comprises an adjusting device, which is actively connected to the supporting device and can be directly or indirectly actuated by a user. The device is distinguished by the fact that the adjusting device is formed in such a way that, in an adjusting process, it can move the supporting device from a current supporting position into a new supporting position, the adjusting process being initiated with a time delay in relation to an actuation of the adjusting device. The adjusting device is in this case formed in such a way that, following actuation, it can be kept in an actuated state during a time interval that can be determined by the user and, in particular, the adjusting process is initiated when or after the actuated state is discontinued. The adjusting device preferably comprises a measuring device, which is formed in such a way that a longitudinal inclination of the ski can be determined in a measuring process and, in particular, the determined longitudinal inclination of the ski can be compared in the adjusting device with a current neutral position of the ski associated with the current supporting position. Also preferably provided is a control device, with which the measuring process of the measuring device can be restricted to a desired window of time. | 01-07-2010 |
