Abstract
Abstract A baseplate has a vertical pivot pin on which a pivoted member is rotatably mounted, which is releasably interlocked with the baseplate and biased by a spring, which is concentric with the pivot pin and opposes a rotation of the pivoted member in both senses beyond an angle which is limited by the interlock. A spring abutment is in screw-threaded engagement with the free end portion of the pivot pin and is held against rotation relative to the pivoted member but axially slidable relative thereto.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
81 words
A toe iron, particularly for safety ski bindings, said toe iron comprising: a baseplate; a pivot pin vertically mounted on said baseplate; a pivot member rotatably mounted on said pivot pin and releasably interengaged with said baseplate; a spring biasing said pivot member, said spring being concentric with said pivot pin; and a spring abutment cooperating with said biasing spring, in threaded engagement with the free end of said pivot pin, and axially slidable and nonrotatable relative to said pivot member.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
81 words
A toe iron, particularly for safety ski bindings, said toe iron comprising: a baseplate; a pivot pin vertically mounted on said baseplate; a pivot member rotatably mounted on said pivot pin and releasably interengaged with said baseplate; a spring biasing said pivot member, said spring being concentric with said pivot pin; and a spring abutment cooperating with said biasing spring, in threaded engagement with the free end of said pivot pin, and axially slidable and nonrotatable relative to said pivot member.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
26 words
A toe iron as set forth in claim 1, wherein said spring abutment is provided with means for indicating a set force required for a release.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
30 words
A toe iron as set forth in claim 2, wherein the position of said spring abutment relative to the said pivoted member provides a means for indicating said set force.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
78 words
A toe iron as set forth in claim 2, wherein said spring abutment has a nose guided in a groove formed in the pivoted member which groove extends parallel to the rotational axis thereof, said nose having a free end formed as a pointer, said groove being formed as a slot in the range in which the said spring abutment is adjustable, a scale defined on the longitudinal side of said slot against which said pointer is read.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
72 words
A toe iron as set forth in claim 1, wherein said pivot member comprises a first part and a second part, said first part serving as a spring abutment; at least one male detent on said first part, at least one female detent on said baseplate cooperating with said male detent, said first part being mounted in said second part, and being nonrotatable but axially slidable with respect to said second part.
