Abstract:
A binding support plate of multiple element construction for a ski, having a base plate on the side close to the top side of the ski and securable thereto and a bearing plate which is arranged between the base plate and the binding or shoe sole and to which the binding can be secured, characterized in that an intermediate plate (4) made of an elastomeric material is arranged between the base plate (2) and the bearing plate (3), being elastically deformable by the forces occurring between the ski (6) and the shoe during skiing, and in that the bearing plate (3) is movable, by deformation of the intermediate plate (4), relative to the base plate (2) in a direction transverse to the longitudinal direction of the ski (6) and is adapted to take support on the base plate (2) by means of guide elements which limit the movement of the bearing plate (3) in a direction transverse to the longitudinal direction of the ski (6) to a variable degree dependent on the elastic deformation of the intermediate plate (4), wherein the guide elements comprise two groups of tension members (8, 9) which penetrate the intermediate plate (4) and have one of their ends anchored to the base plate (2) and their other end to the bearing plate (3), wherein, looking in longitudinal direction, the tension members (8, 9) of the one group connect the left-hand side of the base plate (2) with the right-hand side of the bearing plate (3) while the tension members (8, 9) of the other group connect the right-hand side of the base plate (2) with the left-hand side of the bearing plate (3).
