Toe-piece for ski-touring bindings

摘要

A toe-piece for ski-touring bindings includes a base plate coupled to two jaws. The base plate provided with holes for fixing by screws to the surface of a ski extending in the longitudinal direction from a front tip to a rear tail-end. The two jaws situated opposite each other and symmetrically with respect to a longitudinal axis. Each of the two jaws having a transverse arm and a vertical arm provided with a respective transverse conical pin, which arms are configured to rotate about an axis substantially parallel to the base plate and to the longitudinal direction between a closed and/or open position for retaining and/or inserting and releasing the toe of a ski-boot and an open and/or closed position for releasing and inserting and/or retaining the toe.

1. A toe-piece for ski-touring bindings extending in a longitudinal lengthwise direction of the toe-piece, transverse widthwise direction of the toe-piece and vertical direction of the toe-piece, the toe-piece comprising:
a base plate provided with holes for fixing by screws to the surface of a ski extending in the longitudinal direction from a front tip to a rear tail-end, the plate coupled to:
two jaws situated opposite each other and symmetrical with respect to a longitudinal axis, each of the two jaws having a transverse arm and a vertical arm provided with a respective transverse conical pin, each of the transverse arm and vertical arm being configured to rotate about an axis substantially parallel to the base plate and to the longitudinal direction between a closed and/or open position for retaining and/or inserting and releasing the toe of a ski-boot and an open and/or closed position for releasing and inserting and/or retaining the toe; and a single-piece elastic element with two ends cooperating with the transverse arms of the two jaws and operable from a rest position, corresponding to the closed and/or open position of the two jaws, to a rotated and elastically deformed position for rotationally operating the two jaws into the open and/or closed position for inserting and releasing and/or retaining the toe of the ski-boot inside the toe-piece and wherein the elastic element is formed by a U-shaped body with:
a base of the U-shaped body extending in the transverse direction and positioned in front of and outside of the base plate in the longitudinal direction;arms of the U-shaped body extending in the longitudinal direction from the base and having a respective rear free end bent outwards in the transverse direction and towards a respective seat of the transverse arm of the respective jaw, inside which seat they are stably housed.
