Abstract
Abstract A safety ski binding which consists mainly of a hollow sole plate attached to the boot of the skier and releasably fastened to two longitudinally spaced brackets on the skis by longitudinally slidable locking pins whose cam-shaped outer ends are received in apertures of the brackets, a spring arrangement being interposed between the inner ends of the pins in the hollow interior of the sole plate. The tension of the spring can be adjusted from the outside by shifting spring seats.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 11
Claim 1
Independent Claim
169 words
A ski binding arrangement comprising in combination: a. two recessed brackets; b. fastening means for spacedly fastening said brackets on a ski in a position in which the recesses of the same are directed substantially toward each other and longitudinally of the ski; c. a hollow sole plate member dimensioned to fit between the fastened brackets and formed with two bores respectively alignable with said recesses; d. a locking member movable in each bore toward and away from a position of camming engagement with an aligned recess of a respective one of said brackets; e. a single yieldably resilient means interposed in the iNterior of said plate member between said locking members for biasing said locking members in opposite directions outward of said bores for permitting independent or simultaneous movement of said locking members; f. adjusting means operable from outside said plate member for varying the biasing force of said yieldably resilient means; and g. fastening means for fixedly fastening said sole plate member to a piece of footwear.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim

Claim 3
Dependent Claim
56 words
An arrangement as set forth in claim 1, further comprising an ejector member movably mounted on one of said brackets, and operating means for moving said ejector member into the recess of said one bracket member in a direction to eject the associated locking member from said recess against the restraint of said yieldably resilient means.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
80 words
An arrangement as set forth in claim 1, further comprising two spring seats on said locking members respectively, said yieldably resilient means including a spring member interposed between said spring seats, said adjusting means including means for shifting one of said spring seats on the associated locking member in the direction of movement of the locking member in response to rotation of said one locking member about an axis extending in the direction of movement of said one locking member.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
51 words
An arrangement as set forth in claim 1, wherein said yieldably resilient means includes a body of resilient material, and said adjusting means includes means for applying pressure to a portion of said body intermediate said locking members in a direction transverse to the direction of movement of said locking members.
