  • Ski binding for a cross-country or touring ski
    Patent number: 5044655
    Abstract: A ski binding for a cross-country or touring ski is shown, with a boot (100) being introduced into a holding cup (40) and being held therein by a locking pin (32), when a pawl (60) prevents the reciprocal movement of holding cup (40) and locking pin (32). The design of a double groove (43a, 43b) enables a locking even when an obstacle (13) prevents the complete lowering of the bottom (41) of the holding cup (40).
