Abstract
A ski-boot element is connected to a boot and comprises a depression in which is located a pivot running towards the lower surface of the element. The depression receives a block integral with the ski, while locking means assure that the boot is held to the ski. Also the depression may be in a plate attached at least temporarily under the sole of the boot.
Claims15
A ski-boot element attached at least temporarily to a boot during skiing and designed to be held to a ski, comprising
- (a) a depression arranged substantially in the central area of said element and extending transversely under the skier's foot the open out on both sides of the said element;
- (b) front and rear parts of said element located at opposed ends of said depression, at least one of said parts having means for locking said element on said ski, said locking means being directed towards the interior of said depression and being designed to cooperate with a corresponding locking part fixed to the said ski;
- and
- (c) a projecting pivot extending from the bottom of said depression towards the lower surface of said element and substantially perpendicularly thereto, said pivot being located between said at least one locking means and the opposed one of said parts and cooperating, when said ski is being fitted, with a cavity in the locking part fixed to said ski, said cavity receiving said pivot in a rotatable relationship.
A ski-boot element attached at least temporarily to a boot during skiing and designed to be held to a ski, comprising;
- (a) a depression arranged substantially in the central area of said element and under the skier's foot;
- (b) front and rear parts of said element located at opposed ends of said depression, at least one of said parts having therein a movable, spring-loaded piston projecting into the interior of said depression and cooperating with a corresponding locking part fixed to said ski;
- and
- (c) a projecting pivot extending from the bottom of said depression towards the lower surface of said element and substantially perpendicularly thereto, said pivot being located between said spring loaded piston and the opposed one of said parts and cooperating, when said ski is being fitted, with a cavity in the locking part fixed to said ski, said cavity receiving said pivot in a rotatable relationship.
A ski-boot element attached at least temporarily to a boot during skiing and designed to be held to a ski, comprising
- (a) a depression arranged substantially in the central area of said element and under the skier's foot;
- (b) front and rear parts of said element located at opposed ends of said depression, each of said parts having therein one movable, spring-loaded piston projecting into the interior of said depression, said pistons being in alignment with the longitudinal axis of said element and cooperating with a corresponding locking part fixed to said ski;
- and
- (c) a projecting pivot extending from the bottom of said depression towards the lower surface of said element and substantially perpendicularly thereto, said pivot being located between said two spring-loaded pistons and cooperating, when said ski is being fitted, with a cavity in the locking part fixed to said ski, said cavity receiving said pivot in a rotatable relationship.
A ski-boot element attached at least temporarily to a boot during skiing and designed to be held to a ski, comprising
- (a) a depression arranged substantially in the central area of said element and under the skier's foot;
- (b) front and rear parts of said element located at opposed ends of said depression, one of said parts having therein a spring-loaded piston projecting into the interior of said depression, while the other parts comprises a fixed projection projecting into the interior of said depression;
- and
- (c) a projecting pivot extending from the bottom of said depression towards the lower surface of said element and substantially perpendicularly thereto, said pivot being located between said movable, spring-loaded piston and said fixed projection and cooperating, when said ski is being fitted, with a cavity of a part fixed to said ski, said cavity receiving said pivot in a rotatable relationship.
