Translation of "Retaining hook" in German

A retaining hook 42 is formed on the rear wall 41.

The flat element defining the retaining hook is preferably made from stainless steel or aluminium.

In addition, the retaining hook has the function of a stop at the maximum tension of the hose clamp.

Each retaining hook (62) has a support portion (65).

The upper area is the retaining hook (62).

The retaining hook 26 is connected with the actuating lever 38 by means of a swivel arm 44 or the like.

This modification also comprises a retaining hook 32 that is secured to the radial flange 4.

It can then be fitted into the vehicle in the locked state, after which the retaining hook 86 should be moved out of engagement with the circumferential depression 84 of the disc cam 54 in order to tension the cable strands 40, 42.

This sectional view further shows cover 10, 11, damping elements 58, 59, and retaining hook 30 for holding cover 10, 11.

As explained above, the adjusting device after full assembly and with the helicoidal spring 64 under maximum tension, can be locked by the retaining hook 86 (FIG. 1).

Since it is merely between the high position and the low position that the hooks are movably guided in the frame on a straight line, retaining the actuated hook in the high position requires a corresponding control movement of the associated control element transverse to the path of movement of the hooks.

In one feature, a guide element which is provided for guiding the retaining hook in a longitudinal direction of the ski including a roof-like cover both for a U-shaped bracket mounted to the ski and for an open-topped recess which extends crosswise to the longitudinal extension of the ski and approximately parallel to the top surface of the ski body, to receive the supporting bearing for the sole-integrated pivot.

Also, the reciprocating motion of the retaining hook and the guide element, which covers the former somewhat like a roof, is not impeded by snow, ice or the like because the land or the like of the guide element and the guide groove, guide slot or the like cooperating therewith come into operative mutual engagement within the binding housing so that they are shielded from snow, ice or the like.

The intermediate member 90 is followed by the flat element 30 including the retaining hook 26 to the U-bracket 34 of which the guide element 72 is mounted with the land 74 or the like engaging in the guide groove 76, guide slot or the like on the underside 78 of the bottom 54 of the binding housing 14.

In particular, it is conceivable that instead of screw-shaped retaining devices 12, hook-shaped retaining devices (not illustrated) could be employed, which can be attached to the individual vertebrae of the affected part of the vertebral column in a conventional manner.

The guide element 72 is provided with a land 74 or the like which extends approximately as a continuation of the flat element 30 of the retaining hook 26 towards the ski end, said land engaging beneath the binding housing 14 such that the reciprocating movement thereof cannot be affected by snow, ice or the like.

Due to the roof-like guide element 72 the retaining hook in the open or releasing and in the closed position and at least part of the recess 56 of the binding housing 14 for the sole-integrated pivot 18 are covered in the closed position.

The retaining hook 32 is dimensioned such that the flange 27 resides immediately in front of the two seating surfaces 22 residing at the top, being in such immediate proximity thereto that the clamping levers 8 are sure to engage behind the projection 30 upon actuation.

In this position the retaining hook 3 moves to its closing position in which it encompasses the sole-integrated pivot axis 8, such movement being caused by a resilient element which will be described in detail below.

Concretely, the locking member 4 is an articulated lever mounted for pivoting movement about a pivot axis 7 which extends transversely to the longitudinal direction of the ski and approximately parallel with the cover surface 12 of the ski, one leg 13 of said lever being engaged in the locking position with the retaining hook 3 such that said hook is kept in its releasing position, and the other leg 14 projecting into the path of movement of the sole-integrated pivot axis 8 when the skier steps into the binding 1.

The binding body 6 comprises an open-topped receiving groove 20 which extends transversely to the longitudinal direction of the ski and approximately parallel with the ski cover surface 12 for receiving the sole-integrated pivot axis 8, with said other leg 14 of the articulated lever which defines the locking member 4 for the retaining hook 3 encompassing the sole-integrated pivot axis 8 protruding into said groove.

In the illustrated embodiment, the retaining hook is defined by a flat element mounted in the binding body 6 for reciprocating movement, the one or rear end of said hook which faces towards the ski end is bent to define a U-shaped bow 27 which is open towards the tip of the ski and in the closing position encompasses the sole-integrated pivot axis 8, said bow 27 having an approximately central cut-out 28 in the vicinity of which the flat element is continued to define a protrusion 29 for cooperation with the locking member 4 in the locked position.

In the open or release position of the retaining hook 3, the bow portion 27 thereof and the locking member 4 are covered by the roof-like body portion 32 except for the leg 14 projecting into the receiving groove and the leg spring 5 cooperating with the locking member.

In this way, the upper end 32 of the retaining arm 31 in turn is deflected and the retaining hook 33 provided thereon slides out of the retaining element 27 located in the mouthpiece 4, which is also in the form of a retaining collar 28 .

In this case at least one outer end of the spring element serving as a brick retainer is embodied as a clamping retaining hook which is equipped for engaging in the laterally recessed retaining groove of the heat shield element.
