A hub for cycle wheel including a shaft, a hub body rotatably mounted around the shaft. The hub body has, at least at one of its ends, merlons that are provided for fastening the spokes. Each of the merlons has a radial housing that opens out at its top, as well as two slots, each of the slots extending through the wall thickness between the radial housing and a distinct frontal surface of the merlon. The invention also relates to a cycle wheel having such a hub.

Skate frame

A support plate connected to a front ski binding and designed to support the front part of a boot. The support plate comprises a base plate (6) solidly joined to the base of the binding and a support (7) forming a component separate from the base plate (6). An anti-friction plate (5) is mounted in final position on the support (7) and the support is movably assembled to the base plate (6) by interlocking and reversible locking elements.

Boot support plate for ski binding

Alpine ski binding (1) comprising a base plate (2), to which a boot position-retention element (3) and a ski brake (8) are assembled. The base plate (2) is designed to be integrally attached to the ski using screws (14, 15). The ski brake incorporates a seating (10) superposed to the base plate (2), and the base is assembled to the base plate through the cooperation of tenons (18, 19) and mortises (20, 21) in the base plate (2). The brake (8) is, moreover, assembled to the base plate (2) by a movable locking device (23). The front screws used to assemble the binding to the ski pass through both the seating (10) of the brake (8) and the front part of the base plate (2), and their heads rest on the base plate (10) of the brake. The binding is delivered with the brake assembled, and, subsequently, dismantling the brake is possible by loosening the front screws (14) and by opening the locking device (23).

Alpine ski binding

The invention relates to a safety binding which is adapted to retain the front end of a boot. More precisely, the invention relates to a support element on which rest the front end of the boot. The support element has a base plate and a support plate which are continuously connected, through a elastically deformable zone. An abutment limits the upward movement of the support plate, and a groove limits its downward movement.
