ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for adjusting the longitudinal position of a safety binding of a ski including a base plate attached to the binding and adapted to longitudinally slide in a guide on the ski. The base plate has a plurality of teeth adapted to engage a plurality of notches in the guide. Also provided is an apparatus for locking the teeth in the guide including a locking lever, a locking cam, and an elastic bearing. The locking lever is pivotally attached to the base plate by a first journal. The cam includes a second journal pivotally mounted on the base plate to rotate between locked and unlocked positions. Either the first or second journal is housed in the elastic bearing. Rotation of the cam from the unlocked to the locked position rotates the locking lever to displace the teeth into the notches and longitudinally displaces the journal housed in the elastic bearing, thereby compressing the bearing and biasing the teeth against displacement out of the notches. An element is provided for preventing substantial displacement of the journal housed by the elastic bearing in the transverse direction. This element may be the bearing itself or an abutment on the base plate for preventing transverse displacement of a cylindrical surface attached to the journal.
