Patent number: 11325018Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: November 5, 2020Date of Patent: May 10, 2022Assignee: TYROLIA TECHNOLOGY GMBHInventors: Erwin Hösl, Gernot Jahnel, Christoph Wurm

Patent number: 7520525Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: February 11, 2005Date of Patent: April 21, 2009Assignee: Tyrolia Technology GmbHInventors: Anton Ableidinger, Henry Freisinger, Erwin Hoesl, Marc Humann, Gernot Jahnel, Robert Pfaller, Manfred Tuma, Johann Zotter

Patent number: 7284767Abstract: The invention relates to an arrangement for a ski binding which can be positioned on a ski, the binding including two parts: a front jaw and a heel holder which can be moved in a sliding manner in the longitudinal direction of the ski in guiding mechanisms which are fixed to the ski, and are connected by a connecting element extending in the longitudinal direction of the ski. The position of one of the parts of the ski binding can be adjusted in relation to the connecting element, and the connecting element can be fixed in relation to the ski. The mutual position of the front jaw and the heel holder can be self-adjusted and fixed on the connecting element in such a way that the front jaw and the heel holder form, together with the connecting element, a pre-assembled unit which is separate from the ski, and which can be slid along the guiding mechanisms which are fixed to the ski.Type: GrantFiled: November 21, 2002Date of Patent: October 23, 2007Assignee: Tyrolia Technology GmbHInventors: Alois Himmetsberger, Gernot Jahnel, Manfred Baumgartner, Karl Stritzl, Hubert Würthner

Patent number: 7275757Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: March 14, 2005Date of Patent: October 2, 2007Assignee: Tyrolia Technology GmbHInventors: Erwin Hoesl, Christoph Wurm, Gernot Jahnel, Hubert Wuerthner, Franz Ollinger, Alois Himmetsberger

Patent number: 6672610Abstract: A binding in particular a step-in binding, for retaining a soft boot on a sliding device, in particular a snowboard, having retaining elements for the boot and having a calf support (8) which can be pivoted into snowboarding and step-in positions and, via a tread element (9) which is connected to it and is within reach of the boot, can be moved into the snowboarding position, in which the calf support (8) is secured against accidentally pivoting out of the snowboarding position. In the snowboarding position, with the tread element (9) subjected to loading, the calf support (8) can be supported, on binding-mounted supporting parts (20), against pivoting on its pivoting bolt (10) into the step-in position. As a result of the tread element (9) being relieved of loading, in order to eliminate the support, the calf support (8) can be displaced, in particular automatically, in relation to the bolt (10).Type: GrantFiled: January 30, 2002Date of Patent: January 6, 2004Assignee: HTM Sport- und Freizeitgeräte AktiengesellschaftInventors: Henry Freisinger, Karl Stritzl, Franz Ollinger, Hubert Würthner, Gernot Jahnel, Raimund Premauer, Helmut Brandt, Alois Himmetsberger
