A front jaw for a touring ski binding, includes a base and at least one recess or transit opening in the base. Lateral sole retainers lie opposite each other in relation to a longitudinal axis of the front jaw each include a boot retainer pin and, in a pivoted-in state, co-operate with bearings formed on a ski boot, defining a pivoting axis for the boot extending substantially transverse to the longitudinal axis of the front jaw, and are adjustable between the pivoted-in state, where the bearings of the boot engage the boot retainer pins, and a pivoted-away state where the bearings of the boot are not engaged with the boot retainer pins; spring elements for tensioning the lateral sole retainers; a tensioning lever for moving the sole retainers from the pivoted-in state to the pivoted-away state to release the ski boot from a downhill skiing position or a walking position.

A toe-piece of a ski binding has a base fixable to a ski, a first jaw, a second jaw, a first pin on the first jaw for inserting in a first lateral hole a ski boot tip, and a second pin on the second jaw for inserting in a second lateral hole opposite the first lateral hole in the ski boot tip. The toe-piece also has a first guide and a second guide on the base, each with a portion extending away from a longitudinal axis of the ski and another second portion extending towards the front of the ski. Two sliding elements on the first jaw engage slidably along the first guide and two sliding elements on the second jaw engage slidably along the second guide.

The invention relates to an automatic front unit for a ski binding, in particular a touring ski binding, wherein the automatic front unit comprises a first retaining means and a second retaining means for retaining a ski boot in the toe region of the ski boot. This automatic front unit has a first retaining configuration, in which the two retaining means are in a retaining position, in which the two retaining means are at a first distance from one another, wherein the two retaining means can cooperate with the ski boot in the retaining position such that the ski boot is retained at the automatic front unit so as to be pivotable about an axis oriented horizontally in a transverse direction of the ski. Furthermore, the automatic front unit has a step-in configuration, in which the two retaining means are in a step-in position, in which the two retaining means are at a second distance from one another, wherein the second distance is greater than the first distance and wherein the ski boot is released from the two retaining means in the step-in position of the two retaining means, wherein the automatic front unit is adjustable from the step-in configuration into the first retaining configuration and back again. The two retaining means, in order to be adjusted from their step-in position into their retaining position and back again, are mounted so as to be movable in translation relative to one another along an adjustment path, wherein a region of the adjustment path that adjoins the retaining position of the two retaining means is oriented substantially horizontally.

A front jaw for a touring ski binding, includes a base and at least one recess or transit opening in the base. Lateral sole retainers lie opposite each other in relation to a longitudinal axis of the front jaw each include a boot retainer pin and, in a pivoted-in state, co-operate with bearings formed on a ski boot, defining a pivoting axis for the boot extending substantially transverse to the longitudinal axis of the front jaw, and are adjustable between the pivoted-in state, where the bearings of the boot engage the boot retainer pins, and a pivoted-away state where the bearings of the boot are not engaged with the boot retainer pins; spring elements for tensioning the lateral sole retainers; a tensioning lever for moving the sole retainers from the pivoted-in state to the pivoted-away state to release the ski boot from a downhill skiing position or a walking position.
