A ski binding uses a lever-operated blocking mechanism to slide toe and heel units along the ski surface.
Pivotal foot-retainers mounted on deformable pads resolve rigid mounting constraints by allowing controlled edge pressure application.
Lower-mounted gears synchronize sole holder adjustment, protecting mechanisms from snow and grease while reducing binding height.
A mobile line marking apparatus integrates a GNSS sensor and processor to track distance travelled during operation.
Dynamic cable toe mechanisms eliminate elf toe instability by permitting parallel rotation, ensuring uniform force distribution and precise edge control.
Brake arrangement converts pivoting actuation into linear locking motion, eliminating heel displacement to reduce weight and complexity.
Integrating the boot structure and blade holder into a single thermoformed shell reduces weight and complexity.
Articulated tension elements replace pistons in ski binding toe pieces to reduce sliding friction during sole holder release.
A dual buoyancy surfing apparatus uses a pulley mechanism to adjust relative speed against water flow.
