Abstract
A toe-piece for binding a boot to a gliding board, the toe-piece including a frame; two wings each pivotable in relation to the frame about an axis of rotation and supporting a lateral interface surface designed to come into contact with a front portion of the boot when the toe-piece is in a descent configuration. The toe-piece further includes a lateral release mechanism that includes a connecting element connected to the wings such that the displacement of the connecting element causes the rotation of the wings about their axes of rotation; a first elastic member, a first end of which is connected to the connecting member; and a body against which a second end of the first elastic member presses. The toe-piece further includes an adjustment mechanism that acts on the wings in order to position them alternately in a first configuration, in which each lateral interface surface is in contact with the boot, or in a second configuration, in which each lateral interface surface is away from the boot, for the same positioning of the boot in relation to the toe-piece. The body of the lateral release mechanism is movable in relation to the frame.
