Abstract: The invention relates to a safety ski binding having a foot plate that can be swivelled but not lifted, wherein the foot plate in the rear area is held in a running position by a locking member that can be moved against the tension of a spring, the locking member engaging in a holding member. The mounting of the foot plate on a pivot enables a slight displacement in vertical direction.According to the invention, the foot plate is provided on a section extending between the pivot and a heel grip with a guide element a bent terminal area of which extends into a locating point of a mounting plate affixed to the ski. Another essential element of the invention is the fact that the front area of the foot plate bearing a front jaw is coupled to a guide plate which can be moved, in guide rails of a base plate, in the direction of the ski axis but cannot be lifted vertically.

Abstract: A screw attachment mechanism of a ski binding which is adapted to be mounted on a ski. The attachment mechanism includes a forward base plate having at least two base plate bores extending therethrough and guide rails mounted on the base plate. A pedestal frame is mounted on the guide rails and includes at least two bores aligned with the base plate bores. Screws are individually disposed within each of the aligned bores and an engagement mechanism is provided for securely retaining the screws within corresponding base plate and pedestal bores.
