Abstract
Abstract A holding element for a boot intended for skiing which boot abuts with a forward section of its sole on both sides against a side support disposed on a ski binding, which prevents the movement of the boot sideways and forwards in relation to the ski, whereby the boot can be pressed by a pivotably mounted shackle in the direction toward the ski in order to be held firmly in the binding, which shackle can be made to lie from above against the edge of the sole within at least a part of the said forward section, and can be locked in this position, the holding element being attached to the sole of the boot and having an upward projection which abuts against a forward portion of the shackle to retain the boot against backward movement along the ski.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim
193 words
A holding element for a ski boot having a sole with a forward section which abuts on both sides against a pair of opposed side supports disposed on a ski binding, which supports prevent movement of the boot sideways and forward in relation to the ski whereby the boot can be pressed by a pivotably mounted shackle in the direction toward the ski in order to be held firmly in the binding, which shackle is adapted to be locked in position against the upper front edge of the sole to retain the sole against upward movement away from the ski, said holding element comprising a member having an upwardly directed projection attached to said upper front edge of the sole and extending crosswise in relation to the ski over a substantial width of said front edge, said projection having side portions extending backward relative to the boot, each said side portion defining a rearwardly facing stop surface to abut against a forwardly facing part of the shackle when said shackle is in its locked position against the edge of the sole, whereby a dislocation of the boot backward along the ski is prevented.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
193 words
A holding element for a ski boot having a sole with a forward section which abuts on both sides against a pair of opposed side supports disposed on a ski binding, which supports prevent movement of the boot sideways and forward in relation to the ski whereby the boot can be pressed by a pivotably mounted shackle in the direction toward the ski in order to be held firmly in the binding, which shackle is adapted to be locked in position against the upper front edge of the sole to retain the sole against upward movement away from the ski, said holding element comprising a member having an upwardly directed projection attached to said upper front edge of the sole and extending crosswise in relation to the ski over a substantial width of said front edge, said projection having side portions extending backward relative to the boot, each said side portion defining a rearwardly facing stop surface to abut against a forwardly facing part of the shackle when said shackle is in its locked position against the edge of the sole, whereby a dislocation of the boot backward along the ski is prevented.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
62 words
A holding element according to claim 1, wherein said member is made of metal and has an L-shaped cross-sectional profile to define two flanges of which one flange is disposed adjacent the surface of said upper front edge of the sole, while the second flange is directed upward to define said projection and with its rear side forms the said stop surface.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
81 words
A holding element according to claim 2, wherein said member is attached to said upper front edge of the sole by means of screws passing through the member from above, their position being so determined by attachment holes disposed in the member, said screws having their heads after mounting of the member on the boot held down in the direction toward the sole by said shackle when the shackle is locked against said stop surfaces and the edge of the sole.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
31 words
A holding device according to claim 1, wherein said projection is formed by a bead connected with the material of the sole, which bead in turn forms the said stop surfaces.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
38 words
A holding element according to claim 1 wherein said upwardly directed projection of the member has a centrally disposed recess to receive a part of said shackle that is directed forward in the longitudinal direction of the ski.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
24 words
A holding element according to claim 4 wherein said bead and the sole are formed of rubber, said bead being vulcanized onto the sole.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
18 words
A holding element according to claim 4 wherein the bead and the sole are made in one piece.
