ABSTRACT:
A cross country ski binding of the type in which a forwardly extended portion of the sole of a ski shoe is received by and fixed into a chamber fitted to the ski. In the present arrangement an over center linkage is arranged generally in front of the chamber and includes a clamp portion with a hooked end which fits over the top of the chamber and engages an abutment on the upper side of the extended sole portion so that on engaging the binding by actuation of the over center linkage the hook is pulled forwardly to secure the ski shoe within the binding. An especial feature of the arrangement is that the clamp is arranged as a resilient spring which obviates the need for resilience elsewhere in the binding. Actuating means are provided which allow the skier to open and close the binding from a standing position with a ski pole. In a modification an auxiliary spring fastened to the clamp is used to assist disengagement of the hooked end of the clamp.
