Abstract: A ski binding in which a heel part can be adjusted in the longitudinal direction relative to a guide fixed to a ski and can be actuated by hand. In order to prevent the connecting web of the opening lever disengaging from the locking plate s well as involuntary unlatching of the heel part due to external influences, the invention provides that the connecting web of the opening lever is designed in a U-shaped manner, and that the connecting web, bent in the direction of the upper side of the ski, forms protecting web which terminates flush with the guide fixed to a ski. A restoring lug assists the function of the spring, which acts on the locking piece, the restoring lug being actuable, by way of an edge of the connecting web, by pulling on the opening lever and being formed by being bent out of the locking plate.

Abstract: The invention relates to a safety ski binding, in particular a heel holder, comprising a sole holder, which is pivotal about a transversely extending axis on a bearing block, which sole holder is held in the downhill skiing position by a locking rocker arm which is pivotally supported on a sole holder, which locking rocker arm has on the one side a locking projection which, in the downhill skiing position, grips under a locking nose arranged on the bearing block, and on the other side is provided with a locking notch, into which is received a locking member biased by a release spring at least in the downhill skiing position, which locking member is supported in a pivotal spring housing which is movable relative to the bearing block and is, to a limited extent, movable in guideways provided therefor, whereby for the voluntary opening of the sole holder a release lever which is pivotally supported on the sole holder is provided through the operation of which the spring housing will be swung up and the locking m

Abstract: The invention relates to a safety ski binding, in particular a heel holder, comprising a sole holder which is pivotal about a transverse axle supported on a bearing block secured to a base plate. The sole holder is under the influence of an opening spring which urges it into its opened position. The sole holder is held in the downhill skiing position by a locking rocker arm pivotally supported on the sole holder. The locking rocker arm has on the one side thereof a locking projection which, in the downhill skiing position, grips under a control-cam member arranged on the bearing block and on the other side thereof a locking notch into which is received a locking member at least in the downhill skiing position urged by at least one spring.

Abstract: A heel holder includes a ski brake, a bearing block which is arranged on a base plate, and a housing which is supported swingably on the bearing block, wherein the housing carries a sole hold-down member which is under the influence of a spring, and is held in the skiing position by a locking lever or a pawl, and wherein braking mandrels of the ski brake, with respect to their swivelling movement to the braking position, are controlled by the housing. In order to permit an opening of the heel holder and a swivelling of the ski brake into the braking position in a simple manner when only the front jaw of the ski binding has released, the ski brake is provided with a stepping plate and is operatively connected through a coupling or operating member to the locking lever or the pawl.

Abstract: A ski brake having at least one braking leg, which is pivotal by a force applied by a ski boot or by a sole plate to a pedal about an axle, which extends substantially at a right angle with respect to the longitudinal axis of the ski in a mounting member which is secured to the ski, from a braking position against a spring force into a retracted position. The braking leg is pivotal about a swivel shaft which extends in longitudinal direction of the ski when the ski brake is in the retracted position. The braking leg has a sliding segment thereon which slidingly engages during the swing of the ski brake from the retracted position into the braking position a ski binding part to thereby positively effect a driving of the braking mandrel about the axis of the swivel shaft laterally outwardly beyond the lateral edges of the ski.

Abstract: A ski brake having a support plate secured to a ski and a combination of a support member and an operating plate pivotally secured to the support plate, which support member and operating plate pivotally support the brake arms therein for movement between a retracted position above the upper surface of a ski and a braking position wherein the brake arms extend beneath the lower surface of the ski. The pivotal movement of the support member and operating plate relative to the support plate, as well as the pivotal movement of the brake arms relative to the support member and the operating plate, is accomplished by a single spring.

Abstract: A connecting piece for connecting a sole support plate to a ski binding. In this disclosure, it is contemplated that a pair of such sole support plates is provided, one of which has a ski brake mounted thereon, the other of which has no ski brake associated therewith. In certain areas, ski brakes are not desirable and the skier will use safety straps for securing the ski to the leg of the skier. Thus, to enable the skier to select the mode of equipment which will meet the local conditions, a sole support plate and ski binding combination is provided which permits a selective coupling of the desired sole support plate. The connecting piece consists of a connecting member having at least one locking pin thereon received in an opening in a guide plate of the ski binding. The mutually opposing edges of the sole support plate and the guide plate engage each other to limit the amount of relative movement therebetween.
