Locking device for locking ski binding to mounting plate

Abstract

A locking device for locking a ski binding on a mounting plate, arranged to be mounted on a ski, in which the locking device is arranged to be in a locked position, in which the ski binding is locked relative to the mounting plate in a longitudinal direction, and in an open position, in which the ski binding can be moved relative to the mounting plate in the longitudinal direction, wherein corresponding locking elements of the locking device and of the mounting plate engage with each other in the locked position. The locking device comprises a force-transmitting element with opposite ends, arranged to be attached in corresponding attachments in the ski binding, when the locking device is in locked position. The locking element is located between the force-transmitting element's opposite ends.

1 . A locking device for locking a ski binding on a mounting plate, arranged to be mounted on a ski, in which the locking device is arranged to be in a locked position, in which the ski binding is locked relative to the mounting plate a longitudinal direction, and in an open position, in which the ski binding can be moved relative to the mounting plate in the longitudinal direction,
 wherein, corresponding first locking elements of the locking device and of the mounting plate engage with each other in the locked position,   wherein, the locking device comprises a force-transmitting element with opposite ends, wherein the force-transmitting element's opposite ends are arranged to be attached in corresponding attachments in the ski binding or the mounting plate when the locking device is in locked position, and wherein the first locking element of the locking device is located between the force-transmitting element's ends.   
     
     
         2 . A locking element according to  claim 1 , wherein the force-transmitting element is arranged to transfer at least part of a force directed from below against the first locking element of the locking device to opposing horizontal forces that press the force-transmitting element's ends into engagement with the respective attachments of the ski binding or the mounting plate when the locking device is in locked position, so that the locking device is secured in the locked position. 
     
     
         3 . A locking device according to  claim 1 , wherein the force-transmitting element is flexible, so that the force-transmitting element's ends are arranged to be pressed from the open position, removably down over the respective attachments of the ski binding or the mounting plate, to the locked position. 
     
     
         4 . A locking device according to  claim 1 , wherein the force-transmitting element extend across the ski binding, wherein the force-transmitting element's ends are arranged to be attached to the ski binding's or mounting plate's respective side ends to secure the locking device in locked position. 
     
     
         5 . A locking device according to  claim 4 , wherein the force-transmitting element's ends are arranged to grasp around corresponding ends on each side of the ski binding or the mounting plate when the locking device is in locked position. 
     
     
         6 . A locking device according to  claim 5 , wherein the force-transmitting element is flexible, so that the force-transmitting element's ends are arranged to be pressed removably over the edges on each side of the ski binding or the mounting plate. 
     
     
         7 . A locking device according to  claim 1 , wherein the force-transmitting element's ends have opposite, longitudinal inward tracks arranged to be pressed removably over outward edges on the ski binding or the mounting plate. 
     
     
         8 . A locking device according to  claim 1 , wherein the force-transmitting element is rotatably attached to the ski binding, so that the force-transmitting element can be tilted upwards to open position. 
     
     
         9 . A locking device according to  claim 1 , wherein the locking device's first locking element comprises one or more downward pins. 
     
     
         10 . A locking device according to  claim 9 , wherein the one or more pins are wedge-shaped. 
     
     
         11 . A locking device according to  claim 1 , wherein corresponding second locking elements in the locking device and in the ski binding engage with each other in the locked position. 
     
     
         12 . A ski binding with a locking device according to  claim 1 .
