Abstract
A carrying plate having a fastening portion for connecting the carrying plate to a ski in at least three zones that are located one beside the other in the longitudinal direction of the ski. The carrying plate is connectable to the ski in the at least three zones in a torsionally fixed manner with respect to the longitudinal, transverse and vertical axes of the ski zones, is connectable to the ski in the at least three zones in a non-compliant manner in the transverse and vertical directions of the ski, and is connectable to the ski in only one of the at least three zones in a non-compliant manner in the longitudinal direction of the ski.
Claims25
A carrying plate for securing a ski boot on a ski, wherein said carrying plate is rigid relative to the ski, said carrying plate comprising:
- a central portion for supporting a boot holding means above the ski and for connecting said carrying plate to said ski, said central portion extending in the longitudinal direction of the ski and having a length shorter than the ski boot to be held on said boot holding means, said central portion comprising:
- forward and rearward fastening sections;
- and
- an inner fastening section between said forward and rearward fastening sections;
- wherein said forward and rearward fastening sections and said inner fastening section are connectable by fasteners extendible through openings in said fastening sections to a top side of the ski, the openings in the forward and rearward fastening sections extending downwardly and diverging in a downward direction, the central portion being connected in a torsionally fixed manner with respect to the longitudinal, transverse and vertical axes of the ski and in a generally non-compliant manner in the transverse and vertical directions of the ski, wherein the ski is prevented from bending in the transverse and vertical directions, said forward and rearward fastening sections being connectable to the ski in a compliant manner in the longitudinal direction of the ski, and said inner fastening section is connectable to said ski in a generally non-compliant manner in the longitudinal direction of the ski.
A carrying plate for securing a ski boot on a ski, said carrying plate being rigid relative to a ski on which said plate is connected, said carrying plate comprising:
- support means for supporting a boot holding means above the ski, said support means having a length extending in the longitudinal direction of the ski, said length being shorter than the length of a ski boot to be held on said boot holding means, said support means including:
- an inner fastening section connectable to the ski in a torsionally fixed manner with respect to all directions of the ski, and connectable to the ski in a generally non-compliant manner with respect to all directions relative to the ski, said inner fastening section having a forward end and rearward end;
- and
- forward and rearward fastening sections disposed at the forward and rearward ends of said inner fastening section, and being connectable to ski in a torsionally fixed manner with respect to all directions relative to the ski;
- and being connectable to the ski in a generally non-compliant manner in the transverse and vertical directions of the ski, and being connectable to the ski in a compliant manner in the longitudinal direction of the ski, said forward and rearward fastening sections having openings extending downwardly and diverging in a downward direction for receiving ski-connecting fasteners, the forward and rearward fastening secions being compliant in the longitudinal direction of the ski.
