The invention relates to a tour suitable ski binding with

• a support plate assembly which is pivotally mounted at its front end to an at least substantially skifest attachable or arranged first bearing part about a transverse axis and shoe holder for fixing an insertable into the shoe holder shoe or receives, and
• a supporting and locking arrangement mounted on an at least substantially skifest mountable additional bearing member cooperating with the hinge axis distal end of the support plate assembly or an end piece located there and pivoting the end or tail in a release position relative to the transverse axis, in a locking position to be locked on the further bearing part and supported in at least one support position with vertical distance from the further bearing part,

wherein the support and locking arrangement is designed slider-shaped and is displaceable on the further bearing part between the release position remote from the first bearing part and the at least one, in the direction of the first bearing part advanced support position.

Such a ski binding is the subject of DE 37 02 149 A1.

In a binding shown in EP 0 724 899 B1 the support or latch arrangement is designed as a pivoting lever, around a parallel to the transverse axis of the support plate assembly Axis on further bearing part swiveling and in different Positions is arranged lockable. If the Swivel lever occupies its one end position, in which its free Pointing end in a direction away from the first bearing part, can the support plate assembly under pivoting about the Lift the transverse axle off the ski in the area of its front end or hang up on the ski so that a harmonious running movement, possibly also with skating steps.

As soon as the pivot lever from the aforementioned end position at the ski patch support plate assembly in a first Detent position is pivoted, which is the pivot lever facing End of the support plate assembly locked vertically, so that the support plate assembly fixed substantially skifest is. Thus, the skis in for the departure or Slalom run usual technique to be driven.

If the pivot lever from the above, the support plate assembly releasing end position with sufficiently raised or upwardly pivoted support plate assembly sufficient is pivoted far into a further locking position, engages under the pivot lever facing the end of the support plate assembly with a first support, so that the pivot lever side End of the support plate assembly in a predetermined vertical distance supported by the ski top and at one further approach to the top of the ski is, wherein the support plate assembly of the support of the Swing lever remains liftable. This way you can Tours climbs are easier to be committed.

According to EP 0 724 899 B1, a total of three lockable Support positions provided for the pivot lever, i. of the Swing lever can be on the last mentioned locking position swing out into two other locking positions in which the support lever with corresponding stops the facing End of the support plate assembly in even greater vertical distance supported by the ski top, so that too steep climbs can be made relatively easily.

In this known ski binding can in the locked position of the Swing lever, so if the pivot lever, the support plate assembly in the vertical direction to fix the ski, a larger Game between the pivot lever and the end facing the support plate assembly occur. Since the support plate assembly a greater distance from the neutral bending plane of the Skis, leads away from the first bearing part, the Swivel lever facing the end of the support plate assembly at Flex movements of the ski inevitably relative to a longitudinal movement to the ski top. Accordingly, the Swivel lever facing the end of the support plate assembly provide sufficient clearance in its control position.

The object of the invention is now a touring ski binding to create, given a good manageability is and the support and latch assembly and the support plate assembly at fixed support plate assembly backlash can interact.

This object is achieved with a ski binding of Initially specified type achieved in that a spring arrangement the slider-shaped support and locking arrangement after Unlocking previously in a position on the second bearing part depressed support plate arrangement in locking engagement with pushes the facing end or tail and in this Position pushed, which holds between the release position and the at least one support layer is located.

A special feature of the invention is that the locking position between the release layer and the at least one Supporting the support and latch assembly is located. This will be in conjunction with a spring assembly, the support and Latch arrangement to push forward searches the possibility created, the support and latch assembly in the Bolt position constantly pushed to the support plate assembly to keep. When Flexbewegungen of the ski do not occur Relative movements between support plate assembly and Support and locking arrangement.

In this context, on the one hand, there is the possibility the support and locking arrangement when locking the support plate assembly to latch on this, leaving a positive fit given that the support and latch assembly always in a desired position relative to the locked support plate assembly holds.

Additionally or alternatively, it can be provided that the slider-shaped support and locking arrangement by means of a spring arrangement constantly stretched in the direction of the first bearing part and in the release position against displacement in the direction of action the spring arrangement can be locked or locked.

So as soon as the support and latch assembly from the release position, in which the support plate assembly on the one hand of the Skioberseite lifted and on the other hand on the ski upper side can be placed, is triggered, brings the spring assembly the slider-shaped support and locking arrangement at previously against the ski top depressed support plate assembly in latching engagement with the facing end or tail the support plate assembly, wherein the spring assembly the Support and locking arrangement constantly against this end or Pushes end piece and keeps pushed.

Moreover, the aforementioned spring arrangement, the slider-shaped Support and locking arrangement at previously in vertically from second bearing part or the Skioberseite sufficiently distant Support plate assembly in a predetermined by stop Push end position, in which the support and latch assembly the facing end or tail of the support plate assembly with a support engages under.

So here the spring arrangement also has the function of Stellaggregates, which the support and latch assembly automatically placed in a supportive position allowed.

Preferably, a stop device with a plurality of stop positions provided, the different heights supports associated with the support and locking arrangement.

In this case, the stop device assigned to a handle which, when not in operation, are those associated with the lower support Stop position effectively holds or can be.

In a particular convenient way, for the self-employed Protection is claimed, it can be provided that the Support and locking arrangement a positively coupled with their movement Handle is associated with the movement of the Support and locking arrangement in the direction of the support position or support positions a vertical movement, in particular a Upward movement, executes. By now on the handle, for example by means of a ski pole, a force in opposite directions The support and direction can be exercised Latch arrangement returned in the direction of the release position become.

In particular, it can be provided, two handles that themselves move in opposite directions, to arrange, with the one handle to Resetting the support and latch assembly in the direction of Release position is used while the other handle to a opposing movement of the support and latch assembly or leads to their unlatching or unlocking, so that the spring assembly, the support and latch assembly in the direction the bolt position or the next support position can push.

According to FIGS. 1 and 2 is only a partial view Ski 1 shown arranged a touring binding 2. These has a ski storage front, skifestes bearing part 3, on which a support plate assembly 4 about a transverse axis 5 is pivotally mounted.

The support plate assembly 4 consists essentially of a Stable base plate 6, which is firmly attached to its front end a pivotable about the transverse axis 5 front piece 7 and its rear end is firmly connected to an end piece 8, which in a manner shown below with a Stützund Bar arrangement 9 cooperates.

The front piece 7 is hinged on the bearing part 3 with a large Stability stored so that the base plate 6 only Pivoting movements around the transverse axis 5 can perform, however is prevented from rotating about a vertical axis.

On the base support plate 6, a shoe support plate 10 is arranged, which relative to the base support plate 6 about a vertical axis 11 against an adjustable tripping resistor is pivotable. On the shoe support plate 10 are front and Rear sole holder 12 and 13 arranged in corresponding Recesses of the shoe sole of a not shown Ski boot can intervene.

The sole holders 12 and 13 are releasable, i. they give the shoe used free when between shoe and binding 2 excessive forces are effective.

The front sole holder 12 are by rotation of the Shoe support plate 10 controlled relative to the base support plate 6.

Once between shoe and base plate 6 sufficient Torques are effective, the shoe performs together with the Shoe support plate 10 a rotation about the vertical axis 11 from. If the rotary stroke exceeds a range of elasticity, is at least the respectively pointing in the direction of rotation Sole holder 12 unlocked so that it fold away to the side and thus release the shoe.

The rear sole holder 13 trigger as soon as sufficient on the shoe Large forces are effective on the heel area the shoe of the shoe support plate 10 seek to lift.

The support and latch assembly 9 has a skifest arranged Bearing part 14, which serves as a sliding guide for a Support and bolt slide 15 is formed and this one translatory movement in the longitudinal direction allows.

The support and bolt slide 15 is by means of a Helical compression spring spring assembly 16, the one skifestes abutment on the bearing part 14 and a relative to the ski 1 movable abutment on the support and bolt slide 15 has, in the longitudinal direction of the ski forward, i. in the direction the first bearing part 3 stretched.

At the bearing part 3 facing end has the Support and bolt slide 15 two locking lugs 17 (see also Fig. 6), in the example of Fig. 1 and in particular 2 a on the end piece 8 designed as a counter-locking element step 18th overlaps, so that the support plate assembly 4 is not can swing up from the position shown in Fig. 1.

Furthermore, the support and bolt slide 15 in the example 1 to 4 two juxtaposed supports 19th provided on which according to FIG. 4, the pivoted upward Support plate assembly 4 is supported with its end 8, when the support and bolt slide 15 in a corresponding Supported position in the direction of the first bearing part 3 has been.

In the example of FIGS. 1 to 4 is still on the supports 19 a hinged support bracket 20 is arranged, which extends from the 1 to 4 illustrated non-use position to a Transverse axis 21 can fold up so that he supports the 19th continues vertically upwards. This allows the support plate assembly 4 in a comparison with the example of FIG. 4 Support vertical position vertically.

In the example of Fig. 5 to 9 is on the support and bolt slide 15 another, higher pair of supports 22 arranged, which becomes supportive when the support and bolt slide 15 with swung support plate assembly 4 sufficient is pushed far in the direction of the first bearing part 3.

When the support and bolt slide 15 sufficiently far to is shifted backwards into the position of Fig. 3, are the Locking lugs 17 ineffective, i. they are no longer in overlap with the step 18 on the end piece 8 of the support plate assembly 4, so that the support plate assembly 4 about the transverse axis 5 is swung up.

To adjust the different positions of the support and Bolt slide 15 is on the bolt slide 15 a to a Transverse axis 23 pivotable double arm 24 is arranged, whose Arms each with a plate-shaped handle 25 and 26 are provided on which a ski pole with its top can be put on. The handle 25 associated longer, forward facing arm of the double-armed lever 24 carries a yoke-like transverse bar 27, whose ends in the manner of a sliding stone protrude into slot slots 28, in side panels 29 of the bearing part 14 and formed as the bearing part 14 are arranged.

The link slots 28 form in the ski longitudinal direction forward rising ramps, so that the handle 25 associated Arm of the double-arm lever 24 in clockwise direction is pivoted upward when the support and bolt slide 15 is moved in the direction of the first bearing part 3.

At the bottom, in Figs. 1, 3, 4 and 5 right end of the slot slots 28 are preferably undercut depressions 30 formed in which the ends of the transverse bar 27th can be received in a form-fitting manner.

When the cross bar 27 with its ends in the recesses 30th is, takes the support and bolt slide 15, the release position as shown in FIG. 3, in which the locking lugs 17 of the Step 18 of the end piece 8 of the support plate assembly 4 moved away are and the support plate assembly 4 accordingly the transverse axis 5 pivoted freely upwards or against the ski 1 can be lowered.

Now if the handle 26 associated arm of the double-armed lever 24 is depressed, the cross bar 27 comes out Engagement with the depressions 30. This has the consequence that the spring assembly 16 the support and bolt slide 15 in Direction of the first bearing part 3 pushes.

Provided that the support plate assembly 4 before the depression of the handle 26 is placed on the ski 1 was, the spring assembly 16 pushes the support and bolt slide 15 now in the locked position according to FIGS. 1 and 2, in which the locking lugs 17, the step 18 on the end piece 8 of Base plate assembly 4 overlap and thus the support plate assembly 4 in their resting on the ski 1 location hold tight. If the ski 1 is flexing, move the tail 8 on the ski top in the ski longitudinal direction, because the support plate assembly 4 a more or less large vertical distance from the neutral bending plane of the ski 1 has. This movement of the tail 8 in the longitudinal direction follows the support and bolt slide 15, since he in the locking position of Fig. 1 and 2 of the spring assembly 16 is constantly pushed against the end piece 8. While this sliding movement, the cross bar 27 moves more or less far in the upward or downward direction in the Slotted slots 28.

To the support and bolt slide 15 back to its release position 3, the handle 25, preferably with the ski pole, depressed. Due to the ramp-shaped oblique guide the cam slots 28 is formed doing a backward force, the Support and bolt slide 15 against the force of the spring assembly 16 shifts backwards, i. from the front bearing part 3 removed. In this way, the handle 25 so be depressed that the transverse bar 27 turn in the Recesses 30 engages and the support and bolt slide 15 is again held in the release position of Fig. 3.

Now let the support plate assembly 4 with the foot or over the ski boot are sufficiently pivoted in the upward direction. In addition, please turn the handle 26 with the ski pole be briefly depressed. In this case pushes the spring assembly 16 the support and bolt slide 15 into a Position in which the cross bar 27 of FIG. 4, the upper end the slide slots 28 reached or in the embodiment of Fig. 5 to 9 at the within the link slots 28th trained undercut step 31 abuts. This will be the support and bolt slide 15 at a further approach prevented from the first bearing part 3. The ends of the link slots 28 in Fig. 4 and the steps 31 within the Slotted slots 28 of FIGS. 5 to 9 are arranged that the support and bolt slide 15 with its pair of supports 19 a position below the end piece 8 of the support plate assembly 4 occupies, so this always one of the support height corresponding minimum distance from the ski top has. This facilitates the ascent on slopes.

By depressing the handle 25 of the support and bolt slide 15 again in the above-described release position 3 are pushed back.

In the embodiment of FIGS. 5 to 9 further exists the ability to depress the handle 26 with the ski pole. Thus, the cross bar 27 via the stage 31st away lifted. If at the same time the support plate assembly 4th is pivoted upwards about the transverse axis 5, push now the spring assembly 16 the support and bolt slide 15 on forward, until the crossbar 27 to the upper end of the link slots 28 strikes above the steps 31. In this Position of the support and bolt slide 15 acts further pair of supports 22 with the end piece 8 of the support plate assembly 4 together so that these with their tail 8 in comparatively large distance from the top of the ski is supported and also the climb on very steep slopes is relieved.

The embodiment shown in Figs. 10 to 14 has in turn a skiff to mount bearing part 14th This has at its longitudinal side edges upwards Edge strips 140, which face each other Side surfaces each with a groove-like undercut are provided. Incidentally, on the edge strips bearing blocks 141 formed with bearing lugs 142, whose purpose continues is explained below.

Between the edge strips 140 can be a base plate 143 insert, wherein the longitudinal side edges of the base plate 143 from the undercuts of the edge strips 140 C-shaped become. The longitudinal side edges of the base plate 143 are in the rest, partially as each other with their Konkavseiten facing C-profiles 144 formed. Moreover, at the Base plate 143 in the example of Fig. 10 tab-shaped Abutment 145 arranged or formed, whose purpose will be explained below. The base plate 143 may be made be made of a metal sheet, wherein the tab-shaped Abutment 145 by appropriate Austanzung and bending deformation can be generated.

The bearing part 14 is together with the base plate 143 on Ski 1 attached. This can be done, for example, by screwing done, with the fastening screws together aligned openings 146 on the bearing part 14 and on the base plate 143 enforce.

The C-profiles 144 of the base plate 143 serve for sliding guide a support and bolt slide 15, at its longitudinal edges to the C-profiles 144 matching guide rails 147th are formed.

As can be seen in particular from FIG. 11, owns the support and bolt slide 15 a to its underside open recess for receiving a helical compression spring 160 serves, with one end on the at the Base plate 143 arranged abutment 145 skifest supported is and with its other end against a corresponding one Supporting surface is stretched, which on the support and bolt slide 15 is arranged and located substantially in a vertical transverse plane of the support and bolt slide 15th extends. Accordingly, the helical compression spring 160 searches the support and bolt slide 15 in Fig. 11 to the left slide.

At the left in Figs. 10 to 14 end of the support and bolt slide 15 are again locking lugs 17 and supports 19 arranged, with which on the one hand a skifeste lock the end piece 8 of the support plate assembly 4 in on the Skioberseite supine position and on the other hand, a support of the tail 8 in lifted from the top of the ski Location is possible, as described in more detail below becomes.

At the right in Figs. 10 to 14 end of the support and Bolt slide 15 is in the embodiment of FIG. 10th to 14 a bearing block 150 is formed.

Between the bearing blocks 141 of the skifesten bearing part 14th and the bearing block 150 of the support and locking slide 15 is a toggle arrangement 152 is arranged. This one has one first toggle 153, by means of a in the bearing eyes 142 of the bearing blocks 141 of the ski bearing part 14 arranged Axis skifest is pivotally mounted. The other toggle 154 of the toggle assembly 152 is by means of an axis pivotally mounted on the bearing eye 151 of the bearing block 150 am Support and locking slide 15 is arranged. Otherwise are the toggle 153 and 154 together to form a Knee joint 155 hinged by a corresponding Axis or axle pivotally connected.

A arranged in the example shown on the toggle 153 Handle 156 can be depressed manually or by means of a ski pole to the toggle assembly 152 in the over-center position of Fig. 12 bring. Will an am Knee lever 154 arranged further handle 157 depressed, Thus, the knee lever assembly 152 from the cause the above-mentioned dead center, so that in the Fig. 11, 13 and 14 shown positions of the support and Bolt slide 15 allows.

When the toggle assembly 152 is the over-center position of the 12 assumes, the support and bolt slide 15 takes a opposite the skifesten bearing part 14 far to the right or in the longitudinal direction to the rearward shifted position a, because the toggle lever assembly in this position one large distance between the bearing blocks 141 of the ski Bearing part 14 and the bearing block 150 of the support and bolt slide 15 forces. The Übertotpunktlage shown in Fig. 12 the toggle assembly 152 is characterized by in this Condition of toggle assembly 152 highly compressed Helical compression spring 160 maintained that the Stützund Slide latch 15 in Fig. 12 to the left and so that the distance between the bearing blocks 141 and the bearing block Seeking to diminish 150.

In the over-center position of the knee lever assembly 152 according to Fig. 12 takes the support and bolt slide 15 its release position a, in which the end piece 8 of the support plate assembly 4th vertically movable and, accordingly, the support plate assembly 4 about the transverse axis 5 (see in particular the Fig. 1) remains swung open.

Now let the support plate assembly 4 on the ski top be depressed, so that the end piece 8, the in Fig. 12 position shown assumes. If now the handle 157 is depressed, the toggle assembly 152 leaves the Overtotpoint position of Fig. 12. At the same time shifts the support and bolt slide 15 under the force of the spring 160 to the left, the locking lugs 15 in corresponding Recesses engage the end piece 8 and the end piece. 8 engage trained stages, such that the tail 8 and thus the support plate assembly 4 in on the ski top be held on top of the situation. This condition is in Fig. 13 shown.

Will the support plate assembly 4 with its tail first lifted off the ski top before the toggle assembly 152 by depressing the handle 147 from the Übertotpunktlage of Fig. 12 is triggered, then the support and Bolt slide 15 of the helical compression spring 160 in the Supported position of FIG. 14, in which the supports 19 the support and bolt slide 15 their position below take the end piece 8, so that the end piece 8 and accordingly the support plate assembly 4 always one of the height the support 19 corresponding minimum distance from the ski top have to take.

By depressing the handle 156, i. by depressing the knee joint 155 of the toggle lever assembly 152, can the support and bolt slide 15 at any time from in the Fig. 13 and 14 shown layers in the release position of Fig. 12 are provided.
