Abstract

Mounting device for a cross-country ski boot having, at its front end, a transverse hinge pin (1) which, while being allowed to rotate, is locked in position between a stationary jaw (10) of the device (30) and a sliding movable jaw (20) biased longitudinally by spring force toward the stationary jaw. The movable jaw (21) has, in transverse section, the shape of a hook designed to clasp the pin of the boot at least longitudinally and vertically, and this hook comprises a horizontal arm (21) having, in longitudinal section, a ramp-shaped profile (21a) which increases in size as it extends toward the stationary jaw (10). The horizontal arm (21) of the hook (20) can also have, at each of its lateral ends extending transversely, a ramp-shaped profile (21b) which increases in size as it extends from the interior to the exterior of the arm (21).
