Abstract: A safety binding adapted to be mounted on a ski comprising a one-piece jaw in which engages and is maintained one end of the sole of a ski boot, the jaw being urged under the action of a resilient device against two support lines. The support lines, viewed along the axis of the ski, converge towards the point located above the ski.

Abstract: A safety binding adapted to be mounted on a ski. This binding comprises a one-piece jaw in which engages and is maintained one end of the sole of a ski boot, this jaw being urged under the action of a resilient device against two support lines and being characterized in that the support lines, viewed along the axis of the ski, converge towards a point located above the ski.

Abstract: A safety ski binding whereby a ski is secured detachably to a ski boot including an electrical or electronic device connected to a supply of electricity. A switch is located between the device and supply and includes a moveable part which is actuated automatically when the ski is fitted to the boot or removed from the boot. The switch may either be a normally open switch or a normally closed switch.

Abstract: A device for fastening a ski boot is characterized in that it comprises a second unlocking lever having a positive action, pivoted to the rack or clamping lever and whose pivotal movement causes the disengagement of the engagement pin of the clamping lever from the notch of the rack in which this pin was housed.

Abstract: The present invention involves a ski boot closure system for ski boats equipped with a quick-closing lever and associated rack system.This knuckle joint-type closing system for ski boots, brings the first and second boot flaps together, it includes at least one lever hinged to the first boot-flap and a traction component hinged to the second boot flap and to the lever, one of the lever's hinges being formed by a catch-pin freely engaged in a notch, the lever being capable of occupying an initial, closed position flap against the boot, a second, stable intermediate or partially-open position, and a third, fully-open position in which the catch-pin is disengaged from the notch. This system further comprises a mechanism for making the catch-pin automatically leave the notch when the opening lever movement is continued beyond the stable intermediate position, thereby separating the two boot-flaps.

Abstract: A ski boot comprising an upper whose stiffness is adjustable and an adjustable closure element surrounding the upper. The closure element can be secured to the upper in one of a plurality of different positions for varying the stiffness and/or inclination of the upper respectively. The closure element comprises a collar positioned for cooperating with the upper at the front portion thereof, the collar being removably attached to the upper at a selected one of a plurality of positions at the lateral edge regions of the upper.
