Abstract
Abstract An adjusting device for a ski-binding is used to adapt the binding to the different sizes of the ski-boots, for example to adjust a heel locking device, or a release plate or a pair of sole holding jaws. The device comprises two parts which are adjustable one relative to the other. One of these parts has one or two plug members which are guided in smooth bores of the other part. The plug members are provided with a threaded portion engaging a screwnut which is maintained against displacement longitudinally of the plug member in a recess provided in said other part. Adjustment between said two parts is effected either by turning the plug member engaging the stationary nut or by turning the nut to displace the plug member.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
94 words
An adjusting device for a ski-binding, comprising the combination of: a release plate provided with at least one transversely extending smooth-walled bore, a heel locking mechanism having a pair of laterally extending plugs pivotally and adjustably engageable with said smooth-walled transverse bore of said release plate, each lateral plug of said heel locking mechanism having a respective threaded portion guided in said smooth-walled bore, said release plate having recess means, and threaded nut means disposed in said recess means engaging with said threaded portion of said laterally extending plugs of said heel locking mechanism.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
94 words
An adjusting device for a ski-binding, comprising the combination of: a release plate provided with at least one transversely extending smooth-walled bore, a heel locking mechanism having a pair of laterally extending plugs pivotally and adjustably engageable with said smooth-walled transverse bore of said release plate, each lateral plug of said heel locking mechanism having a respective threaded portion guided in said smooth-walled bore, said release plate having recess means, and threaded nut means disposed in said recess means engaging with said threaded portion of said laterally extending plugs of said heel locking mechanism.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
39 words
The adjusting device as defined in claim 1, wherein each threaded nut means is nonrotatably retained in its associated recess means of said release plate, and adjustment of said heel locking mechanism is undertaken by rotating said plugs thereof.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
50 words
The adjusting device as defined in claim 1, wherein each threaded nut means is rotatably mounted in its associated recess means of said release plate, each said threaded nut means being knurled on its periphery, and adjustment of said heel locking mechanism is undertaken by rotating said threaded nut means.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
59 words
