Thel sole clips are mounted in any desired hole I3 by merely passing the wing I 6 through the slotted series of holes, moving the neck up or down to the desired hole and then turning the sole clip to a horizontal position, which causes the neck I5 to bind in the hole, due to the fact that the width of the neck and the diameter of the hole are substantially the I6 frictionally engages one side of the toe iron, while the toe clip frictionally engages the other side. The sole clips are slightly convex on the sole engaging face, in order to facilitate entry of the sole under the same.
Referring now to the modied form of toe irons disclosed in Figs. 5 and 6 of the drawings, the numeral I1 indicates the toe irons disposed in forwardly converging relationship. Flat, transverse tongues I8 support the toe irons and extend across the ski in side by side relationship and are secured in such position and slidable relative to each other by a grooved anchor plate I9 rigidly mounted to the ski by suitable screws. Adjacent edges of the tongues are formed with matching semi-circular notches 20. A screw 2l extends through the anchor plate, through the circular opening formed by a matching pair of notches and is then threaded in a metallic thimble 22 xedly embedded in the ski I.
To adjust this form of toe irons, the screw 2| is removed, the tongues moved in opposite directions until the toe irons are in proper position and a pair of notches 2D are in matching rela- Y' screw is replaced and tionship and then the tightened. The screw being threaded into the embedded thimble prevents splitting of the ski and stripping of the screw hole which would ultimately occur if a Wood gaged in the wood of the ski. The heel strap and a buckle unit comprises a flexible metallic heel strap 23, having spaced heel clips 24 projecting inwardly at right angles to the strap. The strap 23 is also provided with a tightening clamp 25 of usual construction.
Each end of the metallic heel strap 23 is en larged as at 26, and Yeach enlarged portion is provided with two spaced, rectangular openings 21. Sliding rings 28 are mounted on the enlarged portions 26, adjacent the openings 21, to form the complete buckles.
Separate connecting straps 29 are passed through slots 30 in each toe iron and the two free ends of the doubled straps are connected to the buckles as follows: The inner end of each connecting strap is passed from the inside of the enlarged portion 26 through the rearmost opening 21, is extended around the adjapassed back through the same opening 21 and the end allowed to remain free. The outer ends of the straps are similarly passed through the foremost opening 21. To tighten the strap 29 and draw the heel strap tightly about the heel of the ski boot, the rings 28 are drawn rearwardly, the connecting straps drawn taut and the rings then moved forward until the' straps are frictionally engaged against the forward side of the opening 21. Then, any pull on same size. Also, the wingV screw were used and enstraps 29 will tend to further tighten the straps in the buckle units, as when the tightening clamps 25 are closed. When the straps 29 and heel strap 23 are tightened, the heel clips 24 enis to use the skis. preferred or modified form) are first adjusted laterally of the skis to snugly engage the sole of the boots, such adjustment being accomplished in the manner heretofore described. Then the sole clips are adjusted so as torengage against the upper edge of the sole and hold the sole from relative vertical movement away from the ski. In the eventthat sole clips are not used, a toe strap may be used instead, as indicated at T in Figurel 1.
Afterthe toe irons and clips are adjusted, the heelstrap is placed about the heel of the boot, with the heel clips extending over the upper edge of the heel, the connecting straps are tightened as heretofore described and lastly, the tightening clampiis closed.
The toe irons Vare preferably of malleable metal, so that their angle of convergence may be changed to conform to various shapes of boot toes.
From the foregoing description it will be readily seen that I have produced such a device as substantially fulfills the objects of the invention as set forth herein. Y
While this specification sets forth in detail the present and preferred construction of the device, still in practice such deviations from such detail may be resorted to as do not forni a departure from the spirit of the invention, as defined by the appended claims.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new and useful and desire to secure by Letters Patent is:
1. In a ski binding including toe irons, means mounting the toe irons on the ski for relative lateral movement, and means to move the toe irons in opposite directions relative to each other; said last named means comprising a laterally immovable but rotatable transverse bolt mounted adjacent the forward ends ends of the bolt being threaded with right and left-hand threads, respectively; threaded on the Vends of the bolt, the forward end of each toe iron being notched and engaging over the grooved portion of the corresponding nut.
2. In a ski binding including toe irons, means mounting the toe irons on the ski for relative .teral movement, Vand means to move the toe irons in opposite directions relative to each other; said last named means comprising a laterally immovable but rotatable transverse bolt mounted adjacent the forward ends of the toe irons, the ends o-f the bolt being threaded with Y*right and left-hand threads, respectively; and
means on the forward end JEROME E. BARIEAU.
