  • Patent number: 11325018
    Abstract: A heel unit for a downhill or a combined downhill and alpine touring ski binding has a vertical-release functional group with a tensioning device with a first spring assembly for holding a ski boot downhill, and a horizontal-release functional group with a base plate to be positioned on the ski and a slide that deflects laterally opposing the ski longitudinal direction against the force of a second spring assembly, on which the vertical-release functional group is arranged, as well as with a compression spring assembly acting on the horizontal-release functional group. The vertical-release functional group rotates on the horizontal-release functional group around an axis running vertically towards the top of the ski or towards the vertical, such that, after a limited lateral deflection of the slide, the vertical-release functional group rotates against the force of the second spring assembly to release of the ski boot into the respective lateral-release direction.

  • Patent number: 7520525
    Abstract: 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.

  • Patent number: 7275757
    Abstract: An arrangement for longitudinal adjustment of two binding jaws of a ski binding has base parts which are guided for longitudinal displacement on guide elements attached to the ski. Strip-shaped or similar connecting elements extend parallel to one another in the direction of the other binding jaw. A fixing device interacts with the connecting elements. Raised portions of the connecting elements can be brought into and out of engagement with raised portions of the fixing device upon actuation of the fixing device by a relative movement parallel to the upper side of the ski. If the arrangement is blocked with ice or snow, functioning is ensured because the raised portions which can be brought into and out of engagement with one another are oriented essentially vertically in relation to the upper side of the ski.

  • Publication number: 20050212262
    Abstract: The invention relates to an arrangement for longitudinal adjustment of two binding jaws of a ski binding, which has base parts (1, 2) which are guided longitudinally displaceably on guide elements attached to the ski and to which in each case a connecting element (9, 10, 9?, 10?) of strip-shaped or similar design is connected, which connecting elements (9, 10, 9?, 10?) extend parallel to one another in the direction of the other binding jaw, a fixing device interacting with the two connecting elements (9, 10, 9?, 10?) being provided, on the actuation of which raised portions (11, 12, 11?, 12?) provided on the connecting elements (9, 10, 9?, 10?) can be brought into and out of engagement with raised portions (14, 14?) provided on the fixing device by a relative movement parallel to the upper side of the ski.

  • Publication number: 20050179234
    Abstract: The invention relates to a sliding board, in particular a ski, comprising a running surface, steel edges, an upper cup, a premanufactured core and comprising at least one interface element, for example a rail-like profiled guide element, connected to the sliding-board body by means of anchoring elements, for the arrangement of at least one binding element on the upper side of the sliding board, whereby the anchoring elements have a head section held on the interface element or are 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 positively and/or frictionally and/or in another mechanical manner to the core during the building of the sliding board by means of at least one of the anchoring elements.
