Attorney, Agent or FirmInternational ClassA63C 9/08 (20060101)AbstractA bracket for receiving the toe edge of a ski boot sole is attached to the surface of a ski so as to accommodate both lateral and perpendicular pivoting of the boot relative to the ski surface. A lateral release mechanism is included and a cable or other biasing means maintains pressure against the boot in the direction of the toe bracket. By appropriately positioning a single pin, the lateral pivoting or the perpendicular pivoting can be prevented so as to accommodate either downhill or cross-country skiing.Field of SearchCross-country to or from downhillCross-country only Hold-downs or clamps Pivotal about horizontal and/or vertical axis Single, fixed, transverse horizontal axis With latch or catch means Single fixed axes Pivotable about both horizontal and vertical axis Heel cable and/or ankle strap type With nonpivotal hold-down or clamp | |
