A safety toe unit for a ski binding features a toe clamp 14 attached via a pivot pin 11 to a draw rod 12 which draws the toe clamp under the effects of a bias spring 23 against a binding housing 22. Complementary pairs of abutment features are provided on the binding housing and the toe clamp to either side of the draw rod and define respective pivot axes about which the toe clamp can pivot to effect a sideways release. The arrangement features an adjustment screw 13 which cooperates with a screw-threaded intermediate member 19 located on the end of the draw rod 12 to effect vertical adjustment of the toe clamp. The arrangement enables the use of a one-piece toe clamp without the adjustment screw being subjected to the load of the bias spring 23. In modifications the adjustment screw cooperates with screw threads provided either at the end of the draw rod or on the pivot pin and the pivot pin can be slidably or fixedly connected into the end of the draw rod. |
