ABSTRACT:
A cross country ski binding has a support element attachable directly to a ski for engaging a forwardly extending boot sole extension, and is also provided with latching mechanism for latching the sole extension to the supporting element, under imposition of spring forces. The cross country ski binding may include spring biased detent members engageable into detent provisions provided directly on the boot sole extension, such that the forward part of the ski boot is automatically locked in position upon insertion of the boot sole extension into the support element. Preferred embodiments of the invention include those accommodating an axial movement of the boot sole extension into the support element and latching mechanism, as well as embodiments wherein the boot sole extension is placed downwardly over a pivot pin forming part of the holding mechanism. Also, certain embodiments of the invention include additional locking levers for locking the latching mechanism in a latched position. Further, certain preferred embodiments include camming means, as well as ratchet and pawl means for performing the latching function interconnecting the support element and the cross country ski boot sole extension.
