Abstract

An interface plate for the slide-rail of a binding, especially but not exclusively an alpine binding. The slide-rail (2) comprises a base (3) shaped like an "inverted.OMEGA." with two lateral wings (7, 8) which are raised in relation to the upper surface of the ski. The slide-rail further comprises a mobile base plate (4) which incorporates two laterally-positioned return-shaped members (13, 14) delimiting two symmetrical C-shaped grooves whose openings face opposite each other. The central zone (21) of the plate is bounded laterally by two parallel shoulders (23, 24), each of which incorporates, extending outward, a vertical surface (25, 26) forming a guide and friction surface, against which the lower vertical edges of the return-shaped members (13, 14) are supported and rub during longitudinal movements of the base plate (4).
