Abstract
Laterally releasable binding unit for holding the front end of a ski boot (12) including a base part (30) mounted on the ski (22), a release spring arranged longitudinally on the ski and an integral sole clamp (29) having two limbs (14) and a hold down clamp (15). The base part is a carrier spigot vertically tiltably mounted about a transverse axis (36). The sole clamp is rotatably arranged on the upright carrier spigot. A draw rod (38) passes through a slide bore (37') in a ball guide (37) within the carrier spigot and abuts, via a support disc (39) secured to the draw rod at its rear, a substantially flat rear support surface (40) of the carrier spigot. The rear end of the release spring is braced against an abutment (42) fixed to the sole clamp and thus presses the abutment against the front support surface (31) of the carrier spigot. The rear support surface (40') of the carrier spigot and/or the preferably flat counter surface (39') of the support disc above the draw bar, and/or the front surface (31') of the carrier spigot and/or the preferably flat counter surface (42') of the abutment beneath the draw bar (38) are tilted relative to the perpendicular of the surface of the s…
