Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim
192 words
An assembly bench for carrying out assembly of ski bindings and for carrying out ski repairs comprising frame means with an assembly table for ski support during procedure of making bindings and ski repairs, which includes: holding means for orienting and securing skis on the assembly table respectively arranged at both ends of said bench and respectively comprising a pair of clamping jaws, spacer means respectively associated with said holding means and arranged between the respective clamping jaws pertaining to said holding means, spring means respectively asSociated with said holding means and biasing toward each other the clamping jaws of the pair of clamping jaws pertaining to the respective holding means, control means operatively connected to said holding means and operable selectively to move the clamping jaws of said pairs of clamping jaws away from each other against the thrust of said spring means, and measuring means arranged above said assembly table and including at least an abutment for a rear ski end as well as a marking element for a binding position whereby said measuring means determines the binding position location upon a ski dependent upon ski length and shoe size.
