ABSTRACT:
A toe unit of a ski safety binding has a housing (15) which is fixedly mountable on a ski, a release spring (14) and sole clamp arms (18) which are pivotable outwardly to the side relative to the housing against spring force and which locate the tip of an inserted ski boot in the sideways direction on the ski (40), but pivot sideways outwardly against the spring force and release the ski boot on the occurrence of sideways forces which lie above a predetermined release value. The space for movement (11) between the housing (15) and the outwardly pivotable sole clamp arms (18) is filled out, at least in the regions which border on the outside atmosphere, and preferably radially outside of the associated pivot axis (13), by an elastic filling piece (12). The elasticity of the filling piece (11) is restricted so that the elastic resetting force at the sole clamp arm (18) generated through compression of the filling piece (12) in the release position of the ski boot only amounts to a fraction of the resetting force generated by the release spring (14).
