Abstract: The invention relates to a holding unit, in particular a toe unit, for safety ski bindings, which has a sole hold-down arranged on a bolt and two angle levers pivotably mounted about a spindle each, arranged on a supporting member, the angle levers being adapted to swivel out to the side against the force of a spring. The sole hold-down is adapted to move upwards against the force of the spring when there is a force acting vertically upwards on it, via a compensating lever, which bears against one of the angle levers each either directly or with an intermediate lever interposed. The bolt is guided displaceably in the vertical direction and, if there is an overload, is acted on by a wedge element which is guided on the supporting member and against which the ski boot bears.In this arrangement there is a compensation for the frictional forces additionally occuring on the sole hold-down in the event of a twisting fall both backwards and forwards.

Abstract: A safety ski binding having a horizontally pivotal sole plate provided with a heel holder for the heel of a ski boot and two two-arm sole holders pivotal about sole holder axles to the sole plate. One of the two lever arms engages the edge of the sole of the toe portion of the ski boot. The movement of a second one of the lever arms is restricted by a locking and control element controlled by a stop surface provided on the housing. The second lever arm is released beyond a specific angle of traverse during an outward pivoting of the sole plate. The locking and control element is arranged pivotally on an axle located between the two sole-holder axles. The locking element is approximately heart-shaped and has support surfaces engaging the two sole holders. A housing for the toe part of the binding is longitudinally movable and the control element is a rod extending forwardly into a cavity provided in the housing, which rod engages a stop surface in the housing in a pivoted position of the sole plate.
