In this ski-boot and ski-binding assembly the boot comprises lateral protruding anchoring members disposed at a same distance from, and on either side of, the middle point of the boot, and the ski carries on its top a flat case having a central "O" mark coincident with the corresponding "O" mark of the ski; on either side of the flat case pivotally mounted hook means disposed at equal distances from the central "O" mark are adapted releasably to retain the boot by engaging the anchoring members of the boot. These anchoring members and hook means may be disposed by pairs, and the anchoring means may consist of the opposite ends of transverse metal rods embedded in the material constituting the sole of the ski-boot. Possibly, a single flat metal member may be used to provide the anchoring members, or the rods may be interconnected by a perforated metal plate.
A ski-boot and ski-binding assembly for use with skis provided with a mounting mark, comprising in combination, transversely extending anchoring means carried by said ski boot, said means having a pair of projecting engaging surfaces on either side of the boot, longitudinally spaced on either side of the substantially longitudinal center of the boot, a casing mounted on said ski intermediate the boot and ski, said casing bearing a reference mark adapted to be aligned with a mounting mark on said ski, and a pair of retaining members on each side of said casing fixedly longitudinally spaced on each side of said reference mark and adapted releasably to engage the longitudinally spaced projecting surfaces of said anchoring means, whereby the center of said ski boot is aligned with the mounting mark on said ski.
