Abstract
An adjusting device for adjusting the angle between a ski boot and a sliding surface of an associated ski. The adjusting device operates as a function of parameters correlated with turning of the associated ski by a skier causing parameter-dependent pivoting of the ski boot relative to the sliding surface of the ski. During a turn, the sliding surface of the ski is inclined to an angle greater than the boot giving the skier better ski edge penetration.

An adjusting device for adjusting an angle between a vertical axis of a ski boot and a vertical axis of the sliding surface of an associated ski, wherein the adjusting device operates as a function of parameters correlated with turning of the associated ski by a skier causing parameter-dependent pivoting of the ski boot vertical axis about a longitudinal axis of the associated ski relative to the vertical axis of the sliding surface of the ski, and a parameter-dependent adjusting force for changing an angle of the ski boot vertical axis about the longitudinal axis of the ski relative to the vertical axis of the sliding surface of the ski, such that during turning when the vertical axis of the boot is inclined obtusely with respect to a gliding surface, the vertical axis of the sliding surface of the ski is inclined to an angle greater than the vertical axis of the boot with respect to the gliding surface.
