PCT No. PCT/EP92/00654 Sec. 371 Date Dec. 14, 1992 Sec. 102(e) Date Dec. 14, 1992 PCT Filed Mar. 25, 1992 PCT Pub. No. WO93/04744 PCT Pub. Date Mar. 18, 1993.A front jaw for a ski binding which prevents dirt from penetrating from above into a housing of the front jaw. The front jaw includes a release spring arranged within the housing. The release spring loads a pull rod extending through the spring, which pull rod acts through a release plate onto short lever arms of two toggle levers which are pivotal about vertical axes on a support part. Long lever arms of the toggle levers are designed as a sole holders for a ski boot. The support part has a through opening for the pull rod and a front support surface which rests at least partially on a rear cross wall of the housing. An insert plate is arranged between the support part and the rear cross wall of the housing and essentially rests on the rear cross wall and extends vertically, and on which insert plate the support part rests in certain areas. The insert plate includes upper side parts each having a first section of a first thickness and a second section extending upwardly from an upper extent of the first section and having a second thickness greater than the first thickness. The second section pivots about the first section in response to a pivotal movement of the support part. The second section when contacting the rear cross wall seals the housing from dirt penetration and provides a reliable bearing surface for further pivotal movements of the support part.
