Abstract:
1. A toe binding of a safety ski binding comprising: at least one release spring having an adjustable pretensioning between at least a first pretensioning and a second pretensioning; a housing for at least partly mounting the at least one release spring; at least one sole holder having a predefined opening, the at least one sole holder adapted for releasably securing at least a front section of a boot inserted into the safety ski binding at least in a lateral direction to the longitudinal axis of the boot, the sole holder being loaded by the force of the release spring, which sole holder on exceeding predetermined release force threshold releases the front section of the boot by pivoting about at least one axis running substantially perpendicular to a standing plane of the boot, and an adjusting device operatively coupled to the housing and the at least one sole holder, the adjusting device being adapted for effecting individually preadjustable change in the lateral alignment between the sole holder and the housing in a transverse direction to the binding longitudinal axis of the safety ski binding and substantially parallel to the standing plane for the boot, so that an angle between the longitudinal axis of the boot and the binding longitudinal axis of the safety ski binding can be changed and individually preadjusted within predefined adjusting limits, wherein each pretensioning between the first and the second pretensioning of the release spring corresponds to one of a plurality of release values, wherein the force of the release spring on the at least one sole holder corresponds to the pretensioning of the release spring, wherein the predetermined release force threshold corresponds to one of the plurality of the release values, and wherein the adjusting device is configured such that the predefined opening of the sole holder remains unchanged after a user-initiated change to the lateral alignment of the sole holder relative to the housing.
