Abstract

A holder for engaging the toe of a ski boot on a ski comprises two jaws which can be swivelled about respective vertical pivot pins from an operative sole-engaging position to an outswung sole-releasing position against the influence of a spring biassing the jaws to the operative position. Each pivot pin is rotatable but axially non-displaceable and is provided with a screw-threaded portion engaging in a tapped hole of the associated jaw. Identical pinions carried by the pivot pins are in mesh with a common intermediate gear which can be manually rotated to adjust the level of both jaws simultaneously to suit soles of different thicknesses.
