Abstract: 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.

Abstract: 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.

Abstract: 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.

Abstract: The invention relates to a self-boosting electromechanical friction brakes particularly in the form of a partially lined disk brake. The friction brake includes a friction brake lining which is helically movable with respect to the direction of rotation of a brake disk and pressed there into. A ramp mechanism is provided with ramps which cooperate with a roller bearing mechanism supporting the brake lining, to obtain the self-boosting effect. According to the invention, two of three rolls of the ramp mechanism are embodied with directing flanges for guiding the rolls on the ramps in order to helically guide the friction brake lining.

Abstract: The invention relates to a self-reinforcing electromechanical disk brake. The invention proposes to produce a lining carrier plate of the disk brake from a fiber composite material. A bending-resistant lining carrier plate can be produced cost-effectively in this way. In addition to fiber-reinforced plastic, steel-reinforced concrete can also be considered as a composite material for the lining carrier plate.

Abstract: 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.

Abstract: 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).

Abstract: 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.

Abstract: 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.
