The present invention relates to a self-amplifying electromechanical partial lining disc brake, having a ramp mechanism as a self-amplification device. According to the invention, a rack for driving a friction brake pad is situated between roller elements of the ramp mechanism, particularly at a geometrical centroid of an imaginary surface defined by the roller elements. As a result a load is distributed to the roller elements in a more uniform fashion and the pressing force of the friction brake pad against a brake disc when the partial lining disc brake is actuated is distributed more uniformly and counteracts irregular pad wear.

Self-amplifying electromechanical partial lining disc brake

The invention relates to a self-reinforcing electromechanical disc brake having a brake caliper produced by means of shaping, in one piece with a housing for electromechanical parts of an actuating device of the disc brake, with the housing forming a dimensionally stable hollow body. It is possible in this way to produce a bending-resistant and torsionally rigid brake caliper with a low wall thickness.

Self-reinforcing electromechanical disc brake

The invention relates to an electromechanical disk brake which has a switchable freewheel in order to be configured as a parking brake. The switchable freewheel includes a clamping roller freewheel having rollers for locking a motor shaft of an electric motor of the brake. A locating bearing of the motor shaft of an electric motor, and the freewheel are accommodated on a cover of a housing of the electric motor, and all the electric connections of the disc brake are routed via the cover. The number of components used can be reduced considerably by the integrated design. Moreover, the positional tolerances of the freewheel in relation to the motor shaft can be reduced with the aid of the invention.

Electromechanical brake

A damping device for arrangement between parts of a coupling device and a surface of a ski comprises at least one bearing element consisting of a first material, the bearing element defining a hollow receiving chamber and having a supporting surface facing the surface of the ski and an opposite surface facing away from the surface of the ski. At least one damping element is inserted in the receiving chamber of the bearing element, the damping element having at least one contact surface facing the surface of the ski, the contact surface in an unstressed state protruding beyond the supporting surface of the bearing element in the direction of the surface of the ski. The bearing element defines bores for receiving fastening elements and is arranged adjacent the contact surface of the damping element and extends perpendicularly thereto, and the damping element has a lower hardness and a higher elasticity than the first material.

Damping device for coupling parts, for example a toe clamp and/or a heel

The invention describes a support device (6) between the sole (9) of a boot (4) and a piece of sports apparatus, in particular a ski (5). Between the toe clamp and a heel clamp (1, 2) of a coupling device (3) a housing (22) is arranged which is mounted on the ski (5). In the housing (22) a running plate (32) is provided which is motionally mounted transversely to the longitudinal direction of the ski from a position of rest against the effect of a readjusting force brought about by a spring device (48). The housing (22) is mounted on the ski (5) in an end section facing towards the toe clamp and/or the heel clamp (1, 2) in a predeterminable position vertically to the surface (10) and in an opposite end section relative to the surface (10) and is mounted freely, adjustable vertically to the latter. Or the housing (22) is mounted on a freely moving spacer (13) connecting the toe clamp and the heel clamp (1, 2) in a vertical direction relative to the surface (10).

Support device between the sole of a boot and a piece of sports apparatus

A ski brake comprises a symmetrically arranged bearing device comprising a housing on each side of the central ski axis, the housing defining a first bore extending parallel to the central axis, and a bearing bore extending perpendicularly to the central axis. A brake lever is rotatably mounted in the bearing bore, a crank arm extending from one end of the brake lever above the upper ski surface and a brake arm extending from an opposite end at an angle thereto, rotation of the brake lever causing the brake arm to be pivoted from a rest position above the upper surface to a braking position therebelow. A spring is arranged in the first bore for applying an adjusting force to the brake lever to pivot the brake arm into the braking position, an adjustment element is provided having a portion extending into the first bore and having a flange at an end thereof, the spring being arranged between the flange and an end wall of the housing, and a pivot pin extending outside the housing perpendicularly to, and towards, the central axis. A foot pedal is arranged between the adjustment element and the crank arm for transmitting the adjusting force, and the ski brake comprises a damping device exerting a damping force in a direction opposite to the adjusting force of the spring and having a length which is variable along an adjustment path from a rest position in the direction of the damping force, the minimal damping force in the rest position being at least equal to the adjusting force in the braking position of the brake arm.

Ski brake

The invention describes a binding unit (2) between a boot and an item of sports equipment, in particular a ski binding, with a front jaw (3) and a rear jaw (4) which are connected to each other at a presettable distance (6) by a connecting element (5) and form a binding unit (2) which is slidable in the longitudinal direction of the ski (1) in a longitudinal guide (8) which is arranged on the ski and can be fixed thereon. The binding unit (2) comprises a locking device (10) for locking the binding unit (2) relative to the longitudinal guide (8) or ski (1). Between the binding unit (2) and the longitudinal guide (8) and/or the item of sports equipment is arranged an adjusting device (13) which includes supporting elements fixed to the ski at a distance one behind the other in the longitudinal direction of the binding unit (2), e.g. transverse webs between latching slots in a latching strip, and at least one setting member which comprises an actuating member. On application of pressure to the actuating member and adjustment by a first adjusting distance, the setting member of the adjusting device (13) is inserted between at least two supporting elements, and after a greater second adjusting distance the locking device is unlocked.

Binding unit between a boot and an item of sports equipment

A coupling device (3) between a boot and a piece of sports apparatus such as a ski binding having a toe clamp (1 ) and a heel clamp which are connected to each other by a connecting element at a predeterminable distance and which form a coupling device (3) which is displaceable in the longitudinal direction of the ski (5) in a guiding arrangement (9) arranged on the ski (5) and secured to the latter, and with an arresting device to secure the coupling device (3) with respect to the guiding arrangement (9) or the ski (5). Between the coupling device (3) and the guiding arrangement (9) and/or the piece of sports apparatus, an adjusting device (16) is arranged, which has a catching element (18) that can be engaged or disengaged by the actuating element (17) which is motionally connected to the latter, in or from the locking plate (19) which is provided with latching slots (20) arranged in the longitudinal direction of the ski. The catching element is pivoted in a plane running perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the ski by means of the actuating element (17) about a swivelling axis (40) arranged either on the toe clamp (1) or the heel clamp in the longitudinal direction of the ski and approximately parallel to the surface (6) of the ski (5).
