ABSTRACT:
A safety binding apparatus and a method for positioning the binding upon a ski. The apparatus includes a longitudinal slide affixed to the ski and a body carrying a retention jaw for an end of a boot, an energization mechanism for biasing the jaw, the body being longitudinally slidably mounted on the slide. An assembly is provided for immobilizing the body of the binding on the slide in one or more different longitudinal positions to accommodate the particular shoe or boot to be mounted on the ski. The immobilization assembly includes a plurality of longitudinally aligned notches which respectively define the different longitudinal positions that the body of the binding can occupy on the slide and a latch having at least one projection which is elastically biased toward the notches for engagement of the projection in one of the notches, thus immobilizing the body of the binding on the slide in one of the longitudinal positions. The apparatus further includes at least one removable plug positioned within a respective one of the notches for increasing the ease of assembly and adjustment of the positioning of the body of the binding on the ski, since, according to the method of the invention, the projection of the latch can be simply moved to its selected final predetermined position, sliding over the plug or plugs positioned in the notches which correspond to other, non-selected positions.
