The present invention relates to an attachment mechanism for a locking means to be fastened to a mounting plate on a cross-country ski, where the cross-country ski comprises a mounting plate (6) arranged on a top surface of the ski, where the mounting plate (6) comprises longitudinal side edges having an undercut profile (33) for longitudinal placement and attachment of a binding or binding component (2; 4) by means of a complementary profile (34) on the binding or binding component (2; 4), where the mounting plate (6) comprises a longitudinal channel (21) that accommodates a longitudinal slide member (5), where the top side of the slide member (5) comprises at least one locking means (20; 23), where the underside of the binding or binding component (2; 4) comprises at least one complementary locking means. The invention provides, inter alia, an attachment mechanism on a locking means that comprises at least one plate (30) having a top side and an underside, where the underside of the at least one plate (30) is provided with at least two downward projecting legs (40), where the at least two downward projecting legs (40) are spaced apart at a distance substantially corresponding to the width of the channel (21), where the mounting plate (6) on each side of the channel (21) comprises openings (47) adapted to receive the at least two downward projecting legs (40), where mounting plate (6) and the at least two downward projecting legs (40) comprise longitudinal holes (46), and where the holes are adapted to receive one or more bayonets (44).

A ski binding attachment (3) comprising:—an attachment plate (60) designed to be mounted on a ski,—an exchangeable fastening element (30) designed to be detachably mounted on a forward part of the attachment plate (60), where the attachment plate (60) and the fastening element (30) comprise respectively one or more first locking elements (301a, 302a) and one or more second locking elements (311a, 312a), the first locking elements (301a, 302a) and the second locking elements (311a, 312a) engaging with one another and locking the fastening element (30) in the longitudinal and lateral direction of the attachment plate (60) when the fastening element (30) is arranged from above and down onto the attachment plate (60).

The invention relates to a cross-country or ski touring binding for connecting a boot to a ski in an articulated manner, comprising a binding base body with a standing surface for a sole of the boot and a ski contact surface for at least indirect contact with the ski. The binding has a holding device comprising a receiving element which allows the boot to and a holding element for holding the boot on the receiving element. The holding element moves between a closed position holding the boot on the receiving element and an open position releasing the boot. The binding also has an actuating element with a rotating handle for switching the holding element from the closed to the open position, comprising a substantially disk-shaped, eccentrically mounted force-transmission element received in a recess of the holding element.

Device and methods for a ski assembly system and snowboard assembly system having a ski or snowboard with a centerline axis, a perpendicular axis, and a ski suspension system. The ski or snowboard suspension system has a suspension platform with two or more struts rotatably coupled with the suspension platform and at least one of a front mount assembly and a rear mount assembly.

A ski binding with a binding element mounted displaceably on a slide rail arranged on a ski and which can be fixed in different positions by a latching device, wherein the latching device has latch elements which engage in each other in a blocking position on the binding and ski sides, and the binding-side latch element has a pivotable lever element that in a displacement position the latch elements are not in engagement with each other, wherein the binding element has an operating element with an oblique run-on surface which is transferred between open and closed positions, wherein the operating element, upon transfer of the operating element to the open position, cooperates with an oblique contact surface of the lever element such that the lever element is moved out of the blocking position.

A ski for use on ice or snow is disclosed. The ski includes a ski body having a tip portion, a tail portion, and a longitudinal running length extending between the tip portion and the tail portion and a substantially flat bottom surface for sliding on snow or ice. The ski also includes a suspension system comprised of a substantially rigid support structure secured to the longitudinally central region of the said ski body at two attachment locations separated by a distance of at least 5 inches along the longitudinal axis of the ski body, and at least one resilient element configured to exert an opposing force between the support structure and the ski body in the area between the two attachment locations.

A mounting plate and mounting plate system for a ski comprising: a bottom surface configured to be placed against a ski; an upward directed left and right side edge along the outer sides of the mounting plate, where the edges have laterally opposed undercuts that are configured to hold a ski binding with complementary cuts fastened to the mounting plate in the vertical direction; a longitudinal groove, configured to hold a first interchangeable rail fixed in the lateral direction and the longitudinal direction, and a second interchangeable rail which can be interchanged with the first rail, fixed in a lateral direction but movable in the longitudinal direction.

Rear holding element for a ski boot comprising a heel grip (11), a lever (6) and a fitting pedal (7), characterized in that the fitting pedal (7) is mobile relative to the heel grip (11).

A mounting device for snowboards and other snow glide boards that includes a puck assembly. The adjustment system can be adjusted with three degrees of freedom with respect to the snowboard: foot placement, foot angle, and heel and toe centering. The puck assembly can attach directly to the snowboard or can be built into the snowboard boot binding. The mounting device can include a slider block/snowboard binding base plate and a disk. The disk includes a series of projections. The slider block/snowboard binding base plate receives the disk in a recess indented in the slider block/snowboard binding base plate top surface. The recess is patterned with a series of detents sized and shaped to receive the projections from the disk. The detents arranged as a series of arcs, of equal radius, translated linearly on even increments. This combination allows for the foot angle and heel and toe centering adjustments to be made concurrently.
