Abstract

The invention relates to a front jaw (1) comprising a housing (2), in which is housed a release spring (40). The spring loads a pull rod (10) extending through it, which pull rod acts through a release plate (13) onto the shorter lever arms (36) of two toggle levers (35) which are pivotal about vertical axes (34) on a support part (20), and the longer lever arms of which are designed as sole holders (37). The support part (20) has an opening (21) for the pull rod (10) and has a front support surface (23) which partly rests on a rear crosswall (3) of the housing (2). In order to protect such a front jaw (1) against the penetration of snow and dirt on the side facing the shoe, the invention provides that on the housing (2) on the side facing a ski shoe there is arranged a path-defining means (8) for the release plate, and that an approximately vertically upwardly extending cover plate (80) is connected to the path-defining means (8), the upper end section (81) of which cover plate is bent forwardly at least in certain areas. It is furthermore important according to the invention that an open area (90) permitting the movement of the release plate (13) is formed between the cover plate (80) and the release plate (13).
