Abstract:
A support device on a ski for the front part of the sole of a ski boot held by a releasable binding holding the front of the boot, including a support in which a support plate is slideably mounted transversely to the ski, means for limiting the displacement of the support plate in the support comprising stops on the support plate and on the support, and a transverse helical spring engaged partially in the support plate and partially in the support and working in compression between the support and the support plate upon displacement of the support plate, wherein the stops of the support and the stops of the support plate pair-wise align at rest in a plane perpendicular to the direction of displacement of the support plate and wherein the means for limiting the displacement of the support plate comprises an auxiliary piece arranged between the stops of the support and the stops of the support plate, free in a transverse housing formed between the support and the support plate, between the stops, the size of the auxiliary piece measured in the direction of displacement of the support plate being substantially smaller than the distance between the stops such that the auxiliary piece is entrained by the support plate until it is immobilized between one of the stops of the support and one of the stops of the support plate.
