Abstract
An adjustable coupling device for coupling a ski boot to a ski. The coupling device has a longitudinal axis and includes a toe binding, a heel binding and length adjustment device. The length adjustment device is capable of altering the distance between the toe binding and the heel binding along the longitudinal axis to accommodate different-size ski boots. The length adjustment device has a first drive element connected to the toe binding and a second drive element connected to the heel binding. The drive elements can be moved and set at a position corresponding to the length of the ski boots. An attachment device is provided to attach one of the bindings to a surface of the ski at one of several preset positions in such a manner that the remainder of the coupling device can move freely in a direction perpendicular to the surface. Alternatively, the attachment device may attach both of the bindings to the surface.
