Touring ski boot binding

摘要

The binding for releasably securing the toe of a touring ski boot to a touring ski comprises a ski binding member secured to the upper surface of a touring ski and a boot binding member secured to the toe of a touring ski boot. Each of the said binding members has a transversely disposed L-shaped binding element adapted to releasably engage each other, and spring loaded latch means for releasably retaining the binding members in engagement. The L-shaped binding element of the ski binding member has a horizontally disposed downwardly facing binding surface that abuts a corresponding horizontally disposed upwardly facing binding surface of the L-shaped binding element of the boot binding member. The L-shaped binding element of the ski binding member also has vertically disposed forward facing and rearward facing binding surfaces that abut corresponding vertically disposed rearward facing and forward facing binding surfaces of the L-shaped binding element of the boot binding member when said binding members are in mutual engagement with each other.
