Austria-Austria (AT) A 5397/76 (71) Fischer Gesellschaft mbH, Griesgasse 10-11, A-U9IO Ried im Innkreis, Austria-Austria (AT) (72) Adolf Staufer, Ried im Innkreis, Rudolf Hieblinger, Ried im FIELD OF THE INVENTION to hold this in place, a clamp is provided, which at one end is mounted on a pivot to the other side part.

Ski bindings with a toe iron and a handle pivotally attached to the ends of the arms are already known, which bracket can be fastened in a turned-down position to the longitudinal center line by means of a rack-like lever pivotally mounted at the front end of the toe iron. To prevent the shoe from moving backwards, pins projecting upwards from the base plate of the toe iron are provided, into which the shoe is fitted to the extension of its sole by means of holes made in the side of the sole. In another similar embodiment of the ski bandage, the shoe is fastened by means of retaining pins from above. Bindings of this type are bulky and extend over a considerable portion of the side guides beyond the longitudinal edges of the ski, resulting in high friction between them and the track.

Finally, ski ties are known which have a toe or support plate arranged in front of the toe and toe, the tip part of which has a box-like cross-section for fitting an extension of the shoe sole to it, which can be fastened to the bandage by means of a projecting pin. Although the advantage of these toe irons is their small size, which creates little friction with the track and their weight is small, but the attachment of the shoe is unnecessarily precise, which is also to be feared.

The object of the present invention is to provide a toe iron, i.e. a support plate, which has the latter advantages but not the above-mentioned disadvantages. This object is achieved with a ski band of the quality initially described according to the invention, so that the clamp in the operating position runs transversely to the longitudinal direction of the ski and is pivotable transversely to the longitudinal plane of the ski and can be locked on the other side of the support plate.

Preferably, the shoe is a resilient material, in which case the shoe sole extension and / or the shoe may be curved so that when the spring is turned down and locked, the spring becomes so tightly tensioned that the sole of the shoe under the handle is prevented from slipping off.

As a result, the device does not require any pins, latches or the like to prevent the shoe from moving backwards in known ski bindings.

Another advantage of the ski bandage according to the invention is the possibility of fitting the shoe to the bandage from above, whereby the ski cannot slide forward, as in known ski bandages in which the shoe is pushed into the bandage from behind.

Other details of the invention will be explained in more detail with reference to the drawing, which shows an application example of a ski bandage according to the invention and a shoe suitably formed for this purpose. In the drawing, Fig. 1 shows a top view of a ski band support plate with shoes fitted therein, Fig. 2 shows a section taken along line II-II of Fig. 1 with the shoe fitted, Fig. 3 shows a side view of the support plate with shoes fitted and gripper shown in section, and Fig. 4 shows support plate as well as shoes fitted in place.

Reference numeral 1 denotes a support plate for a ski binder according to the invention which, when viewed from above, tapers towards the tip of the ski and has a tapered point 2 near the tip end, through which a bracket 3 transverse to the longitudinal axis of the ski passes, the base plate 4 of the support plate 1 has holes 5 longitudinal edges 7, 8 between which the extension 9 of the sole of the ski shoe 10 will be.

The bracket 3 is made of a resilient material and one end is mounted in a loop 11 at one end of the pivoting upwardly pulled longitudinal edge 8, while the other end of the bracket 3 is bent into a gripper 12 and may be retained in a notch 13 in the longitudinal edge 7 forming a downwardly open hook 14.

The upper side of the shoe extension 9 is curved, i.e. formed in a cross section transverse to the skiing direction, i.e. convex, whereby this curvature is made to tighten the handle 3 more easily asymmetrical with respect to the ridge of the loop 11 in which the loop is mounted.

The handle 3 has a bend 15, by means of which it is secured against rotation in the tightening position. The bend shown in the handle can be replaced by any shape of the curvature of the handle in the skiing direction or by a flat design which achieves the same result. In the present case, the headband is made of a spring vane.

The shoe fitting to the support plate 1 takes place from above, as already tentatively shown as an advantage of the ski tie according to the invention, the handle 3 being turned back or opened, after which the shackle 3 is locked under increasing prestressing, i.e. turned down and retained in the notch 13. has been arrested in it. Displacement of the extension 9 from under the handle 3 can be prevented by various measures, for example by making an extension 9A or protrusion in the outwardly projecting part over the constriction of the shoe sole extension 2.

Since the shoe sole, possibly including the upper, is die-cast, molded or otherwise made of plastic, there is no difficulty in giving the extension of the shoe sole 9 an arbitrary shape suitable for the intended purpose.

Of course, various structural changes can be made within the scope of the invention. Thus, for example, it is possible to give the upper side of the shoe sole extension a certain curvature alternatively with respect to either the bracket 3 or both parts. When the extension 9 of the shoe sole is sufficiently compressible, the bracket 3 can be made rigid or only slightly flexible.
