ABSTRACT:
The ski binding comprises a toe iron 1 and a rear soleholding device 2. The toe iron is shiftable between a position for ski touring and a position for downhill skiing. A U-shaped bearing bracket 7 and a plug-in pivot 12 are provided. By the two legs 8 and 9 of the bearing bracket the pivot is spaced from the ski a distance which somewhat exceeds the thickness of the sole of the boot. As a result, the plug-in pivot 12 can be used as a holding-down member and as an abutment. The edge portion of the sole is adapted to extend under the plug-in pivot and to be forced against the plug-in pivot 12 by the rear soleholding device. The rear soleholding device comprises a holding-down member 3 for effecting a release in a vertical direction and also comprises a slide 5 for effecting a release in a lateral direction under an overload. In that position the ski binding is used as a downhill binding. Alternatively, the sole of the boot can be connected to the bearing bracket 7 by the plug-in pivot 12 if the latter extends through a bearing bushing 20 provided in the sole 17 of the boot and is held by the legs 8 and 9 at the same time. In that case the boot is pivotable on the plug-in pivot. In such touring position of the ski binding the rear soleholding device is inactive.
