Problems solved by technology

To achieve a device that effectively controls the connection between a user's leg and an apparatus has been a big challenge in view of the existing bindings concepts that have not been introduced into the market, because they failed to provide significant and prac

Embodiment Construction

[0068]FIG. 1 shows a ski boot connected to a ski (40) through a releasable retaining system or binding (16, 17, 16′, 17′ in FIG. 1). The system has bindings made up by at least two units: a toe unit, which is the unit holding the toe part of the boot (16, 17) and a heel unit, which is the unit holding the heel part of the boot (16′, 17′). These units are of the releasable type, which means that they can release the boot when a force exceeding a threshold level is applied to the boot or manually when the user wants to get disconnected from the ski. Each unit has two mechanisms: one mechanism (16), which is a manual release mechanism, for contacting the boot to hold the boot end; and a second mechanism (17), which is an automatic release mechanism connected to the ski, to control the way the connection behaves when external forces are applied to the ski.

[0069]The automatic release mechanism (17) is the primary mechanism that controls the connection between the boot and the ski (40). I...

Abstract

The automatic release control system for controlling the connection between two elements, refers to a system for efficiently controlling the connection between two elements, preferably between a user and an apparatus, such as a ski or snowboard, on which the user's leg or foot is retained. The mechanism ensures that whatever the direction, application point and strength of the resultant of the forces transmitted by the apparatus to the leg, the releasable retaining system will release under the action of a potentially injurious force and remain in retaining state if no injurious forces are involved.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 61 / 323,085, filed on Apr. 12, 2010, the disclosure of which is incorporated herein in its entirety by reference.OBJECT OF THE INVENTION[0002]A system for efficiently controlling the connection between two elements, preferably between a user and an apparatus, such as a ski or snowboard, on which the user's leg or foot is retained. The mechanism ensures that whatever the direction, application point and strength of the resultant of the forces transmitted by the apparatus to the leg, the releasable retaining system will release under the action of a potentially injurious force and remain in retaining state if no injurious forces are involved.FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0003]The invention relates to a system for controlling the relative motion between two elements. In particular this system is applicable for controlling the connection between a user's leg, and specifically a b...
