Abstract
A coupling device (3) between a boot and a piece of sports apparatus such as a ski binding having a toe clamp (1 ) and a heel clamp which are connected to each other by a connecting element at a predeterminable distance and which form a coupling device (3) which is displaceable in the longitudinal direction of the ski (5) in a guiding arrangement (9) arranged on the ski (5) and secured to the latter, and with an arresting device to secure the coupling device (3) with respect to the guiding arrangement (9) or the ski (5). Between the coupling device (3) and the guiding arrangement (9) and/or the piece of sports apparatus, an adjusting device (16) is arranged, which has a catching element (18) that can be engaged or disengaged by the actuating element (17) which is motionally connected to the latter, in or from the locking plate (19) which is provided with latching slots (20) arranged in the longitudinal direction of the ski. The catching element is pivoted in a plane running perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the ski by means of the actuating element (17) about a swivelling axis (40) arranged either on the toe clamp (1) or the heel clamp in the longitudinal direction of the ski and approximately parallel to the surface (6) of the ski (5).
