Patent number: 8167331Abstract: The present invention relates to a spring cartridge for a ski binding, wherein the ski binding has a rotatable front binding part for attachment of a ski boot, and is in particular a telemark ski binding. In the binding the spring cartridge provides tension to a biasing cable which biases the rotatable front binding part, so as to rotate the front binding part so that an attached ski boot would be brought into contact with the ski to which the ski binding is attached. The spring cartridge comprises an extended hollow housing open at both ends, a compression spring held within the extended hollow housing and a pressure stub held partly within the compression spring. The pressure stub is structured with an extended portion having a cross dimension smaller than the interior size of the compression spring and a head having a larger size than the interior size of the compression spring.Type: GrantFiled: April 27, 2009Date of Patent: May 1, 2012Assignee: Rottefella ASInventors: Even Wøllo, Aksel Pettersen, Thomas Holm, Øyvar Svendsen, Bernt-Otto Hauglin
