Abstract
Adjusting mechanism for fastening a ski boot to a sole plate. In such a device there is provided a device for gripping one end, normally the heel, of the ski boot and a ratchet for determining the position of the gripping device with respect to the remainder of the sole plate. Same is spring loaded for normal engagement and manually operable for release. The ratchet teeth are oriented for permitting free movement of the gripping device in one direction, normally toward the toe of the ski boot, and for normally holding same against movement away therefrom. In alternative embodiments, the ratchet teeth may be provided on guide rods, on the edges of dovetail guides, or on a re-entrant device entering into a recess in the sole plate structure.
