  • Device for facilitating longitudinal adjustment of ski binding parts
    Patent number: 4699398
    Abstract: A device for effecting longitudinal adjustment of ski binding parts includes a guide rail which is adapted to be mounted on a ski and has a longitudinally extending serrated edge, a guide plate slidably supported on the guide rail for longitudinal movement, a locking member having teeth thereon and supported on the guide plate for movement between first and second positions in which the teeth respectively engage and are free of engagement with the serrated edge, a resilient arrangement which yieldably urges the locking member toward its first position, and an arrangement cooperable with the locking member for releasably holding it in its second position.

  • Front jaw for safety ski bindings
    Patent number: 3993327
    Abstract: An improvement in a front jaw for a safety ski binding. A base plate and a base member are fixed together and have two axes thereon which are arranged perpendicularly to the base plate. Each axis pivotally supports a two-arm lever so that the longer lever arm engages the ski boot and the shorter lever arm engages a locking element which in turn engages a locking member movable against the force of a spring. The specific improvement is the utilization of a single locking member which is spring loaded and urged into engagement with a locking element. The locking element has a curved sector with differently inclined portions thereon so that as the curved sector moves relative to the locking element upon a swinging motion of the lever arms, the locking member will be moved against the spring resistance to a certain threshold point after which the lever arms will be permitted to move freely outwardly to facilitate a releasing function.
