The invention relates to a snowboard binding with a sole-plate which is to be fastened on the surface of a snowboard and to which, firstly, an instep element is fastened or coupled, which instep element can be adjusted between a clamping position and a release position and by means of which the upper side of a shoe, which can be accommodated in the snowboard binding can be partially embraced, and to which, secondly, a leg support is pivotably coupled, which leg support can be pivoted between a rear entry position and a front travelling position with control means provided by means of which a pivoting movement of the leg support into the entry position is coupled at least in some sections to an adjustment movement of the instep element from the clamping position into the release position.

Binding

The invention relates to an arrangement for changing the hardness, elasticity or rigidity of a sliding device for snow, which sliding device has a level of convexity which is predetermined during manufacture, having a stiffening device which can be fitted on the sliding device and can be changed, in terms of its action on the sliding device, by a control mechanism. The aim of the invention is, by changing the level of convexity, to be able to adapt the travelling properties of the sliding device to the respective skiing/snowboarding conditions in a particularly effective manner. This aim is achieved according to the invention in that a two-part stiffening device is arranged on the upper side of the sliding device, the sections of said stiffening device being connected to one another at the point of division by means of a spring system, and one section of the stiffening device being in engagement with a control mechanism by means of which the level of convexity of the sliding device, in relation to the non-loaded state thereof, can be set manually in two directions.

Front jaw for a safety ski binding

Safety ski binding

A front jaw which includes a housing adapted to be fastened to a ski. A release spring is housed in the housing. A spring extends through a pull rod loaded by the release spring. The pull rod acts through a release plate onto the shorter lever arms of two toggle levers pivotally arranged about vertical axes on a bearing part, and the longer lever arms of which are constructed as sole holders for a ski shoe. The bearing part has a through opening for the pull rod and a front facing support surface which rests at least partially on a rear facing crosswall of the housing. The crosswall is contiguous with an approximately horizontally rearwardly extending section, with the front support surface of the bearing part having two sections adjoining one another in elevational direction, the lower section of which defines an obtuse angle (.alpha.) with the upper section, with the rear facing crosswall of the housing extending essentially vertically and with a rearwardly and downwardly inclined surface being contiguous with the upper section of the front support surface. The bearing part consists of an upper element and a lower element, which elements are in the assembled state of use connected form-lockingly with one another, with the support surface being provided on the front side of both elements of the bearing part. The two toggle levers are supported on the lower element.

Device for a ski binding

A front jaw having a housing receiving a release spring therein, through which housing extends a pull rod acting onto two toggle levers. In order to improve the release operation in such a front jaw, the invention provides that the housing has two bearing surfaces designated for a bearing part, which bearing surfaces are vertically spaced from the pull rod, and that the axles of the two toggle levers are arranged in the bearing part which rests in the skiing position under the influence of the release spring on the two bearing surfaces.
