Abstract

The heel holding device has a non-stretching tension member which is movable in every direction and constructed in the manner of a ribbon. The tension member is fastened at the ski by one end and can be fastened with its other end at a peg at the heel of the boot by means of a clamp. The tension member can be detached voluntarily by means of this clamp and can be pulled off the peg when a tensile force acts substantially in the direction of the boot sole. Two parts of a connecting piece are adjustably fastened to the tension member at a distance relative to one another. The two parts form a connecting piece which is constructed in the manner of a push button. A loop of the tension member remains in the closed state of the connecting piece, which loop leads to a lengthening of the tension member after the connecting piece is loosened when acted upon by increased tensile force, so that the boot heel can be lifted farther from the ski.
