ABSTRACT:
A cross-country ski binding for cross-country ski shoes which have, at their front sole end, engagement elements which correspond with and engage into engagement elements of the ski binding, to provide a pivot connection. The ski binding has a U-shaped clip or stirrup member for securing the front sole end against lifting off the ski binding engagement elements, the legs of which clip are mounted pivotably about a transverse axis by their free ends to side jaws of the ski binding, which are fixed to the ski, and which clip is loaded by a spring in the direction toward a position engaging over the front sole end by its web portion. Further, the ski binding has a spring-loaded locking lever, which can engage behind a catch projection of the ski binding by means of a latch and can thereby hold the U-shaped clip in an open position. In this open position of the clip a cam element is provided in the path of movement of the front sole end when it is inserted into the ski binding, which cam element can be actuated by the sole end so as to lift out the latch of the locking lever and to cause the clip to engage over the front sole end.
