Abstract: A ski binding with a device for compensating the calibration load for toe unit safety release includes a heel unit with a sliding body and a toe unit which is equipped with a safety release associated with a lamina on which a main spring for toe unit calibration act. An elastic recovery spring interacts between the sliding body which supports the heel unit jaw and the lamina in order to cooperate with the main spring for toe unit calibration when the ski flexes.

Abstract: A heel for ski bindings with an automatic reset device, including a heel unit body which can be fixed to a ski and supports a ski boot grip jaw, a kinematic system acting on said grip jaw; the kinematic system is connected to a spring which can be calibrated so as to removably retain the grip jaw in ski boot securing position. A pedal interacts with the ski boot for actuating the kinematic system to open the grip jaw when the ski boot separates from the binding.

Abstract: A ski boot fastening device includes at least one front and one rear engagement member for a boot which are adapted to be attached to a ski. Independent adjustment members of the two engagement members are provided on at least one of the front and rear engagement members or on the ski. This allows the skier to achieve, by an intervention located in a specific point, an independent adjustment of the two members for the engagement of the boot.

Abstract: A ski binding including a toe unit which is fixed to the ski and is provided with an adjustable spring acting on the toe unit safety release member. The binding also has a plate which extends longitudinally along the ski and is associated, at one end, with the toe unit safety release member and, at its other end, with a sliding body which supports the jaw. A rear spring is interposed between the sliding body and the plate in order to keep constant the center distance set between the toe unit and the heel unit, when the ski flexes.

Abstract: An antifriction device, particularly for ski bindings including a first body which is fixed to the ski or is associable therewith and with which a second body is slidingly associated with the possibility of sliding along an axis which is longitudinal to the ski. A tab is removably or permanently associable with the second body, and a plate is freely pivoted to the tab perpendicular to the ski and at the region underlying the heel and/or tip of a ski boot. Thus, upon the activation of the safety release of the binding, the tab performs a translatory and rotary motion which facilitates the disengagement of the boot from the binding.

Abstract: A vibration damping device for skis including a rigid plate for supporting ski boot bindings and having at least two holes which act as seats for at least one rigid spacer. At least one resilient member is arranged coaxially to the rigid spacer, and the spacer interacts with a screw for interconnection with the ski and for supporting the resilient member. The resilient member has a washer for supporting the rigid plate. The device thus allows the optimum damping of the vibrations which occur along an axis which is vertical with respect to the ski, without altering the possibility of transmitting the efforts imparted along different axes.

Abstract: A ski fastening includes a rear engagement member provided with a jaw engaging the heel of a boot. The rear engagement member is constituted by a first body which is slidably associated with a base which is rigidly associated with the ski. The first body includes first members associated with the jaw, which can be activated by the boot and activate second members adapted to automatically reset the fastening after a safety release.

Abstract: A ski boot composed of a shell inside which one or more pressers are provided and with which a front quarter and a rear quarter are associated. The peculiarity of the invention resides in the fact that it comprises a lever body which is pivoted to the front quarter or to the rear quarter and has independently activatable adjustment and/or securing devices for the front and rear quarters and for the pressers which are arranged inside the shell. It is therefore possible to act directly on one of the devices, for example to vary its adjustment, without affecting the other device, regardless of the activation of non-activation thereof.

Abstract: The ski fastening includes a pivoting toe locking element which provides a first toe holding down locking force by means of a first spring and a rear heel locking element which provides a second heel holding down locking force by means of a second spring. Both the first spring and the second spring are housed in the heel holding device and both the locking forces provided by such springs are simultaneously adjustable upon the activation of a single screw element also provided on the heel holding device. The heel holding device furthermore includes a first body connectable to a ski in an adjustable position and a second body which is slidably supported by the first body in a direction parallel to the longitudinal extension of the ski to thereby maintain a constant distance between the heel holding device and the toe holding device of the fastening even during flexing of the ski during use.

Abstract: A ski fastening includes a rear engagement member provided with a lever with which a jaw is associated and engages the heel of a boot. The rear engagement member is constituted by a first body which is slidably associated with a base which is rigidly associated with the ski and to which the lever is pivoted. The first body includes an inclined plane which is connected through an adapted first tab to a first adjustment screw which is rotatably associated with the base, and one or more elements which are pivoted to the jaw at one end and slidably interact with the inclined plane at the other. The actuation of the first screw corresponds to an equal movement of both the inclined plane and the first body starting from the condition in which the rear engagement means is open.
