Abstract
A plate-like support element (1) for coupling elements (5), in particular a heel piece (7) and a toe piece (8) of a ski binding (6), which is arranged between the coupling elements (5) and a surface (2) of the ski (3) and is designed in several parts in ski longitudinal direction. The support element (1) is formed by a support profile (9, 12) supporting the heel piece (7) and the toe piece (8) spaced apart from the surface (2) of the ski (3) by plate-like damping inserts, which support profiles are secured spaced apart on the surface (2) of the ski in ski longitudinal direction by a spacing element (17) connected between the support profiles (9, 12) and to the latter by means of elastically designed hinge arrangements (20, 21).
Claims18
A plate-like support element for a heel piece and a toe piece of a ski binding, the support element comprising, along a longitudinal extension of the ski,
- (a) a first support profile supporting the heel piece,
- (b) a second support profile supporting the toe piece,
- (1) the support profiles having circular end surfaces facing each other and
- (2) the end surfaces having extensions pointing towards each other,
- (c) a spacing element distancing the support profiles from each other in the longitudinal extension of the ski,
- (1) the spacing element having opposite circular end surfaces adjacent the circular end surfaces of the support profiles, and
- (2) a middle point of the circular end surfaces lying on a longitudinally extending center axis of the ski between the end surfaces,
- (d) elastic hinge arrangements on the extensions of the support profiles for connecting the spacing element to the support profiles, and
- (e) plate-like damping inserts spacing the support profiles from a surface of the ski.
