Abstract
A release binding with a transmitter, arranged between the leg and the boot of the skier or a part corresponding to the boot, for the initiation of the release operation of the binding during falls, particularly during forward falls, in which the transmitter is arranged within the area of the lower leg or foot of the skier in such a manner that it responds directly to an excessive force acting between the leg and the boot of the skier with simultaneous transmission thereof to the release mechanism of the binding.
Claims54
A safety ski binding with a release means for the binding, which includes a transmitter means for initiating the release operation of the binding during falls, said transmitter means being arranged between the leg and a part corresponding to a boot of the skier, wherein the transmitter means is arranged within the area of one of the two parts consisting of lower leg and foot of the skier and is operatively connected with the release means of the binding in such a manner that it responds directly to an excessive force acting between the leg and the boot of the skier with simultaneous transmission of such force to the release means,
- wherein the transmitter means includes a hydraulic transmission means,
- wherein the hydraulic transmission means includes two closed-off hydraulic partial systems, of which one partial system is mounted on one of the two parts consisting of leg and boot of the skier and of which the other partial system which is force-lockingly connected with the first partial system, is mounted on one of the two parts consisting of ski and of the binding to be released by the second partial system.
A safety ski binding with a release means for the binding, which includes a transmitter means for initiating the release operation of the binding during falls, said transmitter means being arranged between the leg and a part corresponding to a boot of the skier, wherein the transmitter means is arranged within the area of one of the two parts consisting of lower leg and foot of the skier and is operatively connected with the release means of the binding in such a manner that responds directly to an excessive force acting between the leg and the boot of the skier with simultaneous transmission of such force to the release means,
- and wherein at least two transmitter means are provided at different places within the area of the foot, which respond to pressures between the foot and the boot occurring in different directions.
