Abstract
A binding for a cross-country ski shoe in which the shoe is mounted for pivotal movement about an axis transverse to the longitudinal axis of the ski. An elastic bumper exerts a return force on the shoe when the shoe is lifted from the upper surface of the ski. The elastic bumper is brought into a prestressed condition during the closing of the binding. The prestressing is achieved by either the displacement of the shoe with respect to the elastic bumper or displacement of the elastic bumper with respect to the shoe. This displacement may either be slidable or pivotal movement of a carriage.
