Abstract

An interface piece for the slide-rail of a binding, in particular an alpine binding. The slide-rail comprises a stationary base (6) attached to the ski and delimiting a slide-track (7), along which a movable element (3) is mounted in a sliding configuration. At least one end of the base is open, so as to allow engagement or disengagement of the movable element on the slide-track. An interface piece (18) is inserted between the slide-rail (6) and the upper surface of the ski, and is extended on the side of the open end of the base (6) and beyond this end, where it incorporates an elastically-retractable shoulder (21) positioned in alignment with the slide-track (7), so as to constitute an elastically-movable stop which, on this side, prevents the disengagement of the movable element (3) from the base (6).
