Abstract: A ski binding with a front jaw (1) is described, which is connected to a rear jaw (2) by a carrier (3), the rear jaw being arranged on the carrier adjustably in the direction of the longitudinal extension thereof, and comprises a laterally pivotal device (10) for holding down the sole, the device being supported against lateral pivoting by a pressure element (13) which is displaceably mounted in the direction of the longitudinal extension of the carrier and is biased by at least one spring (14). To enable such a ski binding to be pivoted about a front transverse axis (6), it is proposed that the carrier (3), which is pivotal with the front jaw (1) about a transverse axis (6) in the range of the front jaw (1), consists of a hollow section (4), the hollow section receiving the biasing spring (14) for the pressure element (13) and the spindle (41) of a screw drive (40) for adjusting the rear jaw (2) displaceably guided on the hollow section (4).

Abstract: A binding unit (1) for gliding boards, such as snowboards, is composed of two support plates (2) and (3) which can be independently telescoped along the longitudinal axis of a boot. Each support plate is slidingly guided along this longitudinal axis in a guide element (4 and 5, respectively). Sole-holding shackles (7 and 9) are held laterally. The support plates are form-lockingly held in a position set to the boot length by starting from a central fixing element (6).
