Abstract: The present invention relates to a part of a binding system for skiing, comprising a housing (3; 8) with, on the inside, a fully or partially through-going axial barrel (13) with an inner diameter (14), wherein two pins (1) moveable in each direction with at least one intermediate spring element (2) are arranged, and wherein the pins (1) are adapted to slide in the barrel (13) between a protruding and a retracted position. According to an aspect of the invention, the part of the pins (1) that is exposed when the pins (1) are in the protruding position, has a reduced outer diameter (15) compared with the inner diameter (14) of the barrel (13). The invention also relates to a method for lubricating the pins (1) with a lubricant.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a release mechanism for a ski binding system, wherein the system comprises a ski shoe (20) wherein pins (11) moveable in each direction are arranged and at least one intermediate spring element (12), wherein the pins (11) are adapted to slide in a barrel (13) between a protruding and a retracted position. The system comprises a frame (2) with two vertical parts (3, 4) arranged on a ski, wherein each vertical part has an opening (5) each for receiving a pin (11) protruding sideways out of the ski shoe (20), two bails (7) with claws (8) at one end and brought together in a manipulator (9) at the other end, wherein the claws (8) and the manipulator (9) are adapted so that they can move synchronously into the openings in the opposite direction of the pins (11).
