Device for attaching the front end of a boot to a cross-country or touring ski

摘要

In the present device for attaching the front end of a boot to a cross-country or touring ski, the front end of the boot is connected to the ski by a flexible and elastic element (4) whose rigidity rises as a function of the bending angle of the element. The flexible and elastic element (4) has on its upper side at least one groove (9) extending transversely with such a width that, at a predetermined point in time during the bending movement, the two edges (11, 12) of the groove bounding the entry of the groove come into contact with one another in order to increase the rigidity of the flexible element (4).
