Abstract: The ski brake comprises a base plate (3) on which are supported two brake levers (15, 17) between their two ends via a crossed linkage (27) pivotably about two mutually perpendicular axes. Crank arms (35) opposite the free ends (33) of the brake arms are connected in articulated manner with a foot pedal (41) whose opposite end in the lengthwise direction of the ski is linked to guidance means (45) which are guided upon the base plate (3) slideably in the lengthwise direction of the ski against the pressure of a pretensioning spring (61). In the braking position, in which the free ends of the brake levers (15, 17) project below the ski runner surface, the pretensioning force of the spring (61) is absorbed by a bearing surface (57) of the base plate (3). In the ready position, in which the foot pedal (41) is pressed down upon the base plate (3) the free ends (33) of the brake levers (15, 17) are lifted above the ski.

Abstract: The ski binding encompasses a toe unit (1) which holds the ski boot at its toe and releases if necessary at an adjustable release moment, as well as a heel binding (2), which holds the ski boot heel and releases if necessary at an adjustable release moment. Both the toe unit (1) as well as the heel binding (2) are mounted along solid guide tracks (5,6) attached lengthwise to the ski so that they can be locked into position and can be slid lengthwise.The toe unit (1) is joined to the heel binding (2) through a connector element (3). In the toe unit (1) or the heel binding (2) a device is provided for through which the toe unit (1) and the heel binding (2) are simultaneously movable lengthwise along the ski. The heel binding (2) which is connected to the toe unit (1) through the connector element (3) is situated in its solid guide track to be not locked into position and to be slideable lengthwise.

Abstract: The ski binding clamp mechanism includes a base plate 5 which is to be attached to a ski 1, as well as a clamping unit 7 which is guided in lengthwise displaceable manner along the ski. A locking arrangement 15 latches the clamping unit 7 to the base plate 5 in predetermined displacement positions. The locking arrangement 15 has a locking member 21 movably attached to the clamping unit 7 and is held by a spring 17 in mating engagement with a complementary locking member 23 of base plate 5. A double arm lever 27, pivotally attached to the clamping unit 7 and having an operating arm 33 and a disengaging arm 35, disengages the locking arrangement 15 against the resistance of spring 17. The disengaging arm 35 is substantially shorter than the operating arm 33 in order to facilitate the disengaging action. A locking projection 41 prevents undesired disengagement of the locking arrangement 15 when lever 27 is latched in the operating position of the ski binding clamping mechanism.

Abstract: The ski binding comprises a toe unit (5) and a heel unit (7) which is connected thereto as a unitary assembly. The assembly is guided slidably lengthwise of the ski in a mounting (3) attached to the ski. By means of a latching arrangement, the assembly is latchable in several slide positions. The mounting has at least one insertion aperture for the point of a ski pole (17). One of the units (7) carries spaced above the insertion aperture two bearing surfaces (11) for the ski pole (17) facing each other lengthwise of the ski, which permit a tilting movement of the ski pole (17) whose point has been inserted into the insertion aperture about an axis transverse to the lengthwise direction of the ski. The ski pole (17) serves as a lever which acts to displace the binding lengthwise of the ski without having to separate the ski (1) from the boot. The latching arrangement can be unlocked by a manual actuating device or by the ski pole (17).
