Abstract: A safety ski binding having a sole plate releasably secured to a ski between a pair of holding parts. The sole plate includes a toe gripping device for gripping over the toe of a ski boot and, in addition, a heel holding device adjustable in the longitudinal direction for holding the heel of the ski boot to the sole plate. The heel holding device is connected to a carriage member which is composed of two parts, both movable relative to the other. One of the parts is fixable by a locking device in several positions on the sole plate to fix the carriage member relative to the sole plate.

Abstract: For the heel holder of a safety ski binding having a separable sole plate, there is provided a row of teeth laterally across the sole plate and anchoring means for anchoring a cable extending from said means to the component engaging the heel of the ski boot. Said anchoring means comprises a pair of longitudinally spaced cross members which are connected together and which provide a fulcrum intermediate the ends thereof for engaging said sole plate. Said cable is anchored to said anchoring means on one side of said fulcrum and tooth means are provided on the other side thereof for engaging the teeth on the sole plate. The force of the cable when in operating position with respect to a ski boot holds the tooth firmly in engaging position but with the ski boot removed the anchoring means may be tilted and quickly and easily adjusted to any different desired position.
