Sole-support device

Safety ski binding

This touring binding has a sole plate, which can be pivoted about a pivot pin, fixed to the ski, and on which there are arranged a heel holder, a toe holding unit and a ski brake with two multiply angled-off brake spikes. In this arrangement there are provided in the sole plate, between the pivot pin and the heel holder, two bearings for the transversely running sections of the same, forming the pivot axis of the brake spikes. In order to make a simple exchanging of the ski brake (10) possible in the case of this touring binding (2), the invention provides that each bearing is of split design in vertical direction, the lower bearing half (8g) being hollowed out as a depression in an upwardly open recess (8e) of the sole plate (8), and the upper bearing half (10d) being hollowed out in a bearing shell (10c), which can be inserted into the recess (8e) and can be fastened in the latter.

Ski binding

An endpiece for a safety ski binding attached to a ski, the endpiece comprising an elongated housing for disposition on the ski in the longitudinal direction of the ski; a lever pivotably mounted to the housing, the lever including a first end having a bolt opening and a second end; a sole holder for exerting a downward force on the sole of a ski boot, and having a portion disposed beneath the lever, the sole holder also having an elongated bore extending substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the ski; a bolt extending through the bolt opening and the bore, the sole holder vertically slidable on the bolt; a first spring disposed between the housing and the sole holder for urging the sole holder toward the ski; and a second spring for exerting a force on the second end of the lever for resisting rotational movement of the first and of the lever away from the ski.
