Braking device for a gliding board that includes: a base to be affixed to the gliding board; at least one braking arm pivotable about a first substantially transverse axis, the braking arm including a control element extending along an axis substantially parallel to the first axis; a movable support plate including a control element housing, the position of the control element in the guiding housing varying as a function of the angular position of the braking arm; an elastic mechanism acting on the control element along an actuation direction varying as a function of the angular position of the braking arm. The support plate is displaced by an amplitude covering a first positioning range for which the base, the braking arm, the support plate, and the elastic mechanism are arranged so that the elastic mechanism acts on the control element to cause rotation of the braking arm in a first direction, as well as a second positioning range for which the base, the braking arm, the support plate, and the elastic mechanism are arranged so that the elastic mechanism acts on the control element to cause rotation of the braking arm in a second direction, opposite the first direction of rotation.

Braking device for a binding for a gliding board

A toe piece for a gliding apparatus, such as a touring ski, including two tightening elements relatively movable between a boot-tightened position, in which they engage respective lateral housings of the boot, and an open position to release the boot, the tightening elements forming a pivot axis for the boot and a stop movable between an active position in which the stop comes into contact with the front end of the boot so as to longitudinally position the lateral housings of the boot, and a retracted position in which the stop does not interfere with normal pivoting of the boot during an ascent phase, the stop being in an active position when the two tightening elements are in the open position and the movable stop is directly connected to the tightening elements, so that a relative displacement of the tightening elements causes the stop to switch between its active and retracted positions.
