Abstract
A heel holder includes a base plate, a bearing block supported on the base plate, a binding housing pivotally supported on the bearing block, and a down-holding arrangement supported on the binding housing. A locking mechanism can releasably lock the binding housing in a downhill skiing position. A stepping spur is pivotally supported on the binding housing, and a locking member is pivotally supported on the stepping spur and can move to a locking position in which it engages the binding housing and holds the stepping spur in a stepping-in position. An upwardly projecting wall on the base plate engages the locking member as the binding housing moves into its downhill skiing position and pivots the locking member to an ineffective position in which the stepping spur can pivot away from its stepping-in position.
