Abstract
A connecting element for connecting a stepping plate to a ski binding. In this disclosure, a pair of such stepping plates are provided, one of which has a ski brake mounted thereon, the other of which has no ski brake associated therewith. In certain areas, ski brakes are not desirable and the skier will use safety straps for securing the ski to the leg of the skier. Thus, to enable the skier to select the mode of equipment which will meet the local conditions, a stepping plate and ski binding combination is provided which permits a selective coupling of the desired stepping plate. The connecting element consists of suspended and receiving parts, one of the parts having hooks thereon co-operably coupled with receiving structure on the other part. Other structure is provided to give the connection lateral rigidity.
