  • Patent number: 11020650
    Abstract: The invention relates to a cross-country or ski touring binding for connecting a boot to a ski in an articulated manner, comprising a binding base body with a standing surface for a sole of the boot and a ski contact surface for at least indirect contact with the ski. The binding has a holding device comprising a receiving element which allows the boot to and a holding element for holding the boot on the receiving element. The holding element moves between a closed position holding the boot on the receiving element and an open position releasing the boot. The binding also has an actuating element with a rotating handle for switching the holding element from the closed to the open position, comprising a substantially disk-shaped, eccentrically mounted force-transmission element received in a recess of the holding element.

  • Patent number: 7922188
    Abstract: A configuration contains a ski binding and a ski boot, whereby a sole of the boot is connected to the ski binding by a maintaining element and performs a rolling off movement when the heel is lifted. The maintaining element contains at least three fixed points, whereby at least one fixed point acts as a rotational point in the region of the ski when the ski boot is lifted, at least one second point is connected to the sole of the boot in the ball region, and at least one third point is provided in the region of the tip of the sole in order to couple the ski binding to the ski boot.

  • Patent number: 7097194
    Abstract: A ski binding, in particular for cross-country skiing, having a sliding element displaceable in the running direction, as well as at least two spring-loaded latching pins movable transversely to the running direction for latching engagement in corresponding fittings in the tip region of the ski boot. Each of the two latching pins is carried by a spring-loaded molded part, the molded parts being oppositely arranged relative to one another and guided in links of the sliding element.

  • Patent number: 6957827
    Abstract: A ski binding for cross-country skis and touring skis with a step-in mechanism. The ski binding has two pressure-spring-loaded retention bolts located in the toe region and extending substantially transversely to the running direction and having a rounding at their outer ends. The retention bolts engage in openings of the boot sole or of parts of the latter and can be brought out of the snapped-in position by a releasing mechanism, wherein the rounding of the retention bolt is to lie above that plane which extends through the longitudinal axis of the bolt and in the snapped-in state, parallel to the ski upper side.
