Abstract
A ski binding having a hook element arranged at the tip of a ski shoe, a bearing block secured to the ski and having a receiving part for the hook element, and a locking element supported on the bearing block and having at least one locking protuberance. The locking element locks the hook element against movement on the receiving part by means of a spring force. The hook element has a wall-like member or hook bar which extends in the skiing position at least approximately vertically upwardly relative to the upper side of the ski. The receiving part has guide bars thereon which extend approximately perpendicularly to the upper side of the ski and which are designed to receive the hook bar therein. In order to reduce in this ski binding the number of necessary structural parts and to simplify the entire design of the ski binding, the invention provides that the hook bar at its lower region and its upper region is connected by means of two elastic web members to the tip of the shoe, and that the receiving part is fixedly connected to the bearing block.
