  • Patent number: 8210561
    Abstract: Ski boots of different sizes, adapted for being used with skis provided with mounted bindings having front and rear jaws. The ski boots are embodied in at least two types (1, 1?, 1?) which differ from each other by sole length (a, b, c). Each of the ski boot types comprises at least two ski boot (outer shell) sizes having the same sole length. Each ski boot size is suitable for receiving inner boots in at least one inner boot size (foot size), and advantageously inner boots (3a to 3d, 3?a to 3?d, 3?a to 3?d) in at least two boot sizes (2a-2b, 2?a-2?-b, 2?a-2?b). Skis (6, 6?, 6?) may be provided with fixed jaws (7a, 7b, 8a, 8b, 9a, 9b) mounted in such a way that they correspond to the sole lengths (a, b, c) of the different types of boots (1, 1?, 1?).

  • Patent number: 7887081
    Abstract: The invention relates to a combination of ski boots of various sizes and skis with a fitted binding, comprising a toe jaw and a heel jaw, the relative separation of which may be altered and fixed relative to the ski by means of a guide device arranged on the ski. The ski boots belong to at least two ski boot types (1, 1?, 1?), which differ in the length of the sole (a, b, c), each of which are suitable for the fitting of inner boots (3a to 3d, 3?a to 3?d, 3?a to 3?d) in at least two boot sizes. The skis comprise binding jaws, arranged to be adjustable such that the relative separation thereof may be matched to the differing lengths of sole, whereby markings on the types of ski boot and markings on the guide device of the binding permit an unambiguous matching of the sole length to the corresponding jaw separation.

  • Patent number: 7784814
    Abstract: The combination of ski boots of different sizes, and skis provided with mounted bindings consisting of fixed front and rear jaws. The ski boots are embodied in at least two types (1, 1?, 1?) which differ from each other by a sole length (a, b, c) and are suitable for inserting internal shoes (3a to 3d, 3?a to 3?d, 3?a to 3?d) into at least two boot sizes (2a-2b, 2?a-2?b, 2?a-2?b). The skis (6, 6?, 6?) are provided with fixed jaws (7a, 7b, 8a, 8b, 9a, 9b) mounted in such a way that they correspond to the sole lengths (a, b, c) of the different types of boots (1, 1?, 1?).

  • Patent number: 7537236
    Abstract: The invention relates to a sliding board, especially a ski, comprising a treadsole, an upper surface, a lower rib and a core, and at least one element which comprises especially at least one rail-type guiding element, is connected to the body of the sliding board by means of at least one anchoring element, and is used to arrange and guide at least one binding element on the upper side of the sliding board. In order to avoid subsequently fixing guiding elements to the finished ski, the at least one anchoring element (9, 9?, 9?, 19) is integrated into the core (5, 5?) during the expansion thereof and is held by the hardened foam material.

  • Patent number: 6672610
    Abstract: 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).
