A sliding board, in particular a ski, includes a running surface, steel edges, an upper cup, a premanufactured core and at least one interface element connected to the sliding-board body by anchoring elements, for the arrangement of at least one binding element on the upper side of the sliding board. The anchoring elements have a head section held on the interface element or connected to the interface element, and have a shaft extending through an opening in the upper cup into the inside of the sliding board. In order to reduce installation operations on the finished sliding board, the interface element has been connected to the core during the building of the sliding board by at least one of the anchoring elements.

Ski binding

Apparatus for the longitudinal adjustment

The invention relates to a snowboard binding having two retaining brackets (6, 106) which are pivotably mounted on a base plate (2) or on parts (5, 105) displaceable longitudinally on the base plate (2), and which, when the binding is performing a retaining function, engage over the front and the rear sole borders of a boot (102), the binding being closed automatically when the boot (102) is inserted. The aim of the invention is to keep the friction between the boot (102) and the binding, and therefore the boot-insertion force to be applied, relatively low and, by means of an advantageous configuration of a locking system (10), to ensure a high securing force. This is achieved according to the invention in that an actuating element (11) is acted upon by a step-on element (7) which can be pivoted on a basic body (5) about a second axis (19), and in that a locking slide (8) is arranged in the base member (5), which locking body bears on the actuating element (11) and, after overcoming a dead center position, latches the actuating element (11).

Sole-support plate for ski bindings

A ski binding front jaw has a ski-fixed housing, and two toggle levers which are rotatable about vertical axles, which have longer lever arms engageable with a ski boot, and which have shorter lever arms engageable with a slide member guided for movement in the housing and biased by a spring. A vertical bolt is provided between the two toggle levers, the bolt being supported in two prongs of the housing, the housing being forked at its end facing the ski boot, the bolt movably supporting a swingable sole down-holding part which may be biased by a compression spring. To ensure a reliable return of the sole down-holding part to its center position in this front jaw the sole down-holding part is yieldably maintained in its center position by a U-shaped leaf or wire spring serving as a return spring, a web of the spring being divided into two sections by a curved section, and the spring having its web facing the sole down-holding part.

A toe unit for a safety ski binding for disposal on a horizontal surface of a ski includes a base adapted to be mounted on the ski, a bolt having a lower end and an upper end, and a mounting portion for mounting the lower end of the bolt to the base. The mounting portion permits axial movement of the bolt between a first position and a second position, and secures the bolt substantially perpendicular to the horizontal surface of the ski when the bolt is in the first position. The mounting portion also permits pivotal movement of the bolt about a location on the base when the bolt is in the second position. The toe unit also includes a sole contact portion attached to the bolt for retaining a sole of a boot and for moving the bolt axially from the first position to the second position in response to a predetermined force exerted by the boot in a direction away from the base.

Ski brake

An endpiece for a safety ski binding attached to a ski, the endpiece comprising an elongated housing for disposition on the ski in the longitudinal direction of the ski; a lever pivotably mounted to the housing, the lever including a first end having a bolt opening and a second end; a sole holder for exerting a downward force on the sole of a ski boot, and having a portion disposed beneath the lever, the sole holder also having an elongated bore extending substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the ski; a bolt extending through the bolt opening and the bore, the sole holder vertically slidable on the bolt; a first spring disposed between the housing and the sole holder for urging the sole holder toward the ski; and a second spring for exerting a force on the second end of the lever for resisting rotational movement of the first and of the lever away from the ski.

Endpiece body for safety ski bindings

A gymnastics apparatus having a support rod and a handle bar movable toward and away from one another against the force of a spring. A connecting rod and a pipe is arranged between the support rod and the handle bar, the pipe surrounding the connecting rod and housing the spring. A spring abutment member which opposes the connecting rod can be adjusted in an axial direction in the pipe and can be fixed relative to the pipe. In order to facilitate, in such a gymnastics apparatus, an adjustment to various body sizes, the invention provides that the connecting rod is connected, if desired hingedly, to the support rod and the pipe to the handle bar.

Gymnastics apparatus

A ski binding includes a base plate adapted to be secured to a ski, a cover plate supported on the base plate for pivotal movement about a vertical axis, and an adjustable release arrangement for yieldably resisting pivotal movement of the cover plate in either direction away from an initial position. The release arrangement can be adjusted from a side of the binding. Front and rear holding mechanisms are provided on the cover plate and releasaly hold a ski shoe on the cover plate, the front holding mechanism including a pivotally supported holding jaw which is controlled by the adjustable release arrangement, and the rear holding mechanism being adapted to release only in response to an upward force component.

Safety ski binding

A safety ski binding having a plate which is rotatably supported for movement about a ski fixed vertical axle. The plate has a front and a rear clamping device for a ski shoe thereon. The rear clamping device, namely, a releasing heel holder, is provided with a pair of sole down-holding members. At least one of the two, preferably both, sole down-holding members are pivotally supported for movement in transverse directions of the ski by bearings on a stepping plate hingedly supported on the heel holder. A releasable locking device is provided for fixing the sole down-holding members in their position holding the shoe in the skiing position. The releasable locking device is releasable against the force of at least one spring and is engaged by a control part.

A release ski binding comprising a sole plate having thereon a rear jaw for a ski shoe, a central part thereof being pivotal relative to the ski about a vertically upright axis and about a transversely extending axis. The sole plate is held in a skiing position by an elastic holding mechanism on the ski. The holding mechanism is responsive to a swivel movement occurring between the sole plate and the ski and upon reaching of a predetermined angle of traverse effects an opening of a release lock on the rear jaw. The sole plate consists of two parts, of which the one part is pivotally supported for movement about a vertical axis of a sleeve and the other part is hingedly connected to the first part through the transverse axis.
