Abstract
A safety ski binding having a sole holder pivotally secured to a base member. The sole holder is held in condition of use by a locking member, which locking member is engaged by a locking part. The locking part is urged into engagement with the locking member by a spring. The locking part is guided in a limited manner in a guideway provided on a support part, which support part is pivotally secured to the base. The support part carries both the spring and a shaft on which the release lever is pivotally secured. The locking member has a notch and a recess therein, the locking part being urged into engagement with the notch while the ski binding is in the condition of use and in the recess when the ski binding is in the position to receive the ski boot therein.
Claims10
A safety ski binding, comprising:
- a base member having means defining a locking projection thereon;
- sole holder means pivotally supported to said base member for movement about a first pivot axis;
- support means pivotally supported to said base member for movement about a second pivot axis, said support means including guide means thereon and a movable locking part guided for movement by said guide means;
- a locking member pivotally supported on said sole holder means, said locking member having a recess therein receiving said locking projection when said sole holder means is in a position of use;
- resilient means mounted on and movable with said support means, said resilient means being positioned between and engaging said support means and said locking part to resiliently urge said locking part into engagement with said locking member so that said locking member is also urged by said resilient means into engagement with said locking projection, said locking projection being maintained in said recess by the force of said resilient means;
- and
- release lever means pivotally supported on said sole holder means for movement between first and second limits about a third pivot axis, said release lever means including securement means for securing said release lever means to said support means, whereby a pivoting movement of said release lever means about said third pivot axis will effect a pivoting movement of said support means about said second pivot axis to prevent said resilient means from resiliently urging said locking part into engagement with said locking member so that said sole holder is free to pivot about said first pivot axis.
A safety ski binding, comprising:
- a base member having means defining one of a locking projection and recess thereon;
- sole holder means pivotally supported to said base member for movement about a first pivot axis;
- support means pivotally supported to said base member for movement about a second pivot axis, said support means including a movable locking part thereon;
- a locking member pivotally supported on said sole holder means, said locking member having the other of said locking projections and said recess thereon and engaging said one of said locking projection and said recess when said sole holder means is in a position of use;
- resilient means mounted on and movable with said support means, said resilient means being positioned between and engaging said support means and said locking part to resiliently urge said locking part into engagement with said locking member so that said locking member is also urged by said resilient means into engagement with said one of said locking projection and said recess, one of said locking projection and said recess being maintained in engagement with said other of said locking projection and said recess by the force of said resilient means;
- and
- release lever means pivotally supported on said sole holder means for movement between first and second limits about a third pivot axis, said release lever means including securement means for securing said release lever means to said support means, whereby a pivoting movement of said release lever means about said third pivot axis will effect a pivoting movement of said support means about said second pivot axis to prevent said resilient means from resiliently urging said locking part into engagement with said locking member so that said sole holder is free to pivot about said first pivot axis.
