ABSTRACT:
A ski binding, including a housing (10) in which there is mounted a movable clamping member (11,12) having an open position for receiving a clamp-receiving member (3) and a closed position for clamping the clamp-receiving member and a movable step-in member (40) mounted in said housing (10) having a part (41) thereof extendable beyond the surface of the housing (10) for opening and thereafter closing the clamping member (11,12) as the extendable part (41) of the movable step-in member (40) is pressed toward the housing (10). In one embodiment, the movable step-in member (41) slidably engages a facing surface (60) on a part of the clamping member (11,12) during the opening and closing of the clamping member (11,12). In another embodiment, a movable bearing member (70,80) is provided between the step-in member (40) and the clamping member (11,12) for reducing friction when the step-in member (41) is moved relative thereto; and in a third embodiment, the movable clamping member ( 11,12) and the clamp-receiving member (3) are provided with a groove (70) for reducing the distance the movable clamping member (11,12) is required to open to receive the clamp-receiving member (3) when a skier steps into the binding.
