ABSTRACT:
A cross-country ski binding, especially a hiking ski binding which includes a toe iron (10) adapted for mounting on a ski top and having cheeks (11) and sole catches (12) for accommodating and supporting the front part of the sole of a ski booth in sideways, forwards and upwards directions. A tension cable (14) is adapted to be passed about the heel of the boot and includes a tensioning mechanism (13) whereby the ski boot may be fixed to the toe iron (10) such that during cross-country skiing or ski hiking, the heel of the boot and the heel of the skier may be raised from the ski top. The tension cable (14) also co-operates with a mechanism (15) for varying the effective cable length. A portion of the tension cable (14) includes a tension spring (16, 17). A tightening lever (19) bearing against the sole of the boot is pivotally mounted on the portion (18) of the tension cable (14) which is intended to be passed about the heel of the boot. The pivot (20) for lever (14) extends parallel to the tension cable (14, 18). Various embodiments are shown including one having a single lever member and others having first and second lever members pivotally interconnected to each other.
