Abstract:
A cross country ski binding (10) includes a base plate (16), a pivot plate (18) hinged to the base plate, an upstanding transverse lug (36) on the pivot plate for receiving a slotted toe plate (38) on the ski boot, and a wire clamp (54) for releasbly securing the toe plate and ski boot to the pivot plate. A vertical tongue-and-slot arrangement together with abutting engagement between the pivot plate (18) and toe plate (38), in combination with the releasable wire clamp (54), provide a more positive connection while at the same time allowing free pivotal movement of the boot relative to the ski. In a second embodiment, the ski binding (70) includes a horizontal tongue-and-slot arrangement (74, 76 and 78) together with a latch (84) resiliently urged into engagement with a slot (86) in the toe plate (38').
