SKI BINDING FOR TOURING OR CROSS-COUNTRY SKIING

摘要

A touring or cross-country ski binding comprising a first recess for receiving a ski shoe pin. The binding also comprises a locking member movable back and forth along between a locking position and a open position. Further, the binding comprises a biasing means configured to bias the locking member towards the locking position. The binding also comprises an activation member rotatably attached to the housing for rotation around a transversal rotational axis of the binding. The locking member is provided with at least one outer portion shaped to allow a ski shoe pin to force the locking member from the locking position towards the open position at entry of the ski shoe pin into the first recess. The activation member is provided with an arm extending radially away from the transversal rotational axis of the activation member. The activation member and the locking member are operatively connected by means of mutually cooperating connection means configured such that at rotation of the arm in the first rotational direction through a predetermined lower operational range of the arm, the activation member forces the locking member from the locking position to the open position. The mutually cooperating connection means are also configured such that any movement of the arm caused by movement of the locking member from the locking position to the open position occurs only within the predetermined lower operational range of the arm. The binding is provided with a means for releasably holding the locking member in its open position at movement of the arm to a predetermined upper position outside the predetermined lower operational range of the arm.
