The invention relates to an arrangement for changing the hardness, elasticity or rigidity of a sliding device for snow, which sliding device has a level of convexity which is predetermined during manufacture, having a stiffening device which can be fitted on the sliding device and can be changed, in terms of its action on the sliding device, by a control mechanism. The aim of the invention is, by changing the level of convexity, to be able to adapt the travelling properties of the sliding device to the respective skiing/snowboarding conditions in a particularly effective manner. This aim is achieved according to the invention in that a two-part stiffening device is arranged on the upper side of the sliding device, the sections of said stiffening device being connected to one another at the point of division by means of a spring system, and one section of the stiffening device being in engagement with a control mechanism by means of which the level of convexity of the sliding device, in relation to the non-loaded state thereof, can be set manually in two directions.

Front jaw for a safety ski binding

Safety ski binding

A front jaw which includes a housing adapted to be fastened to a ski. A release spring is housed in the housing. A spring extends through a pull rod loaded by the release spring. The pull rod acts through a release plate onto the shorter lever arms of two toggle levers pivotally arranged about vertical axes on a bearing part, and the longer lever arms of which are constructed as sole holders for a ski shoe. The bearing part has a through opening for the pull rod and a front facing support surface which rests at least partially on a rear facing crosswall of the housing. The crosswall is contiguous with an approximately horizontally rearwardly extending section, with the front support surface of the bearing part having two sections adjoining one another in elevational direction, the lower section of which defines an obtuse angle (.alpha.) with the upper section, with the rear facing crosswall of the housing extending essentially vertically and with a rearwardly and downwardly inclined surface being contiguous with the upper section of the front support surface. The bearing part consists of an upper element and a lower element, which elements are in the assembled state of use connected form-lockingly with one another, with the support surface being provided on the front side of both elements of the bearing part. The two toggle levers are supported on the lower element.

Front jaw

A ski brake, which can assume a skiing position and a braking position, having a base plate adapted to be fastened on a ski or a ski binding, and on which breaking levers, each having a braking arm and an operating arm, are arranged symmetrically with respect to a central longitudinal plane are pivotal about an axis extending essentially transversely with respect to the ski. A stepping plate is connected to the base plate through a connecting piece and is loaded upwardly by at least one operating spring. The operating spring is supported in the base plate and engages through at least one extension arm spaced from the connecting piece the underside of the stepping plate, with the point of engagement of the spring on the stepping plate being variable in longitudinal direction during a pivoting movement of the braking levers.

Device for a ski binding

A front jaw having two laterally spaced toggle levers which can be swung out against the force of a release spring housed in a housing and through which housing extends a pull rod. In order to cause in this front jaw during a backward twisting fall an initial tension of the release spring and thus a reduction in the work of the swinging-out toggle lever, the invention provides that the two shorter lever arms of the toggle levers are loaded by a release spring acting through a pull rod onto an angular intermediate lever supported in the lower area of the housing on a first pivot axle.

A sole-support device for ski bindings which includes a support member fastenable on a ski and an endless band guided transversely with respect to the longitudinal direction of the ski in a groove of the support member. In order to prevent in this device a relative movement between the upper strand of the band and the underside of the sole of the boot, the invention provides that the band, which is supported with its upper strand in the groove of the support member, has the shape of the jacket of a frustrum, and that the groove, in which the upper strand of the band is guided, has a circular extent arched toward the tip of the ski, viewed in a top view.
